'flushÅ > >> tucker: who are the most oppressed people in the world? christians in the middle east? child in sudan? yeah, they are oppressed but the world's most depressed person is right in this country. it's michelle obama. how did oppressed as obama? she so oppressed she told us recently she's agreed to give her -- get her driver's license renewed. she scared of the whole foods. >> many of us still live in fear as we go to the grocery store or worry about walking her dogs oro allowing our children to get a license. i, like so many parents, black kids, the innocent act of getting a license

howie: joining us to analyze the coverage, mollie hemingway, senior editor at the federalist and leslieall, radio talk show host. mollie, why were most of the media so intent for so long on dismissing and ridiculing the wuhan lab theory as being some cockamamie idea. >> it's an example of what plagued the media throughout the trump presidency. they viewed their jobs as not reporting facts but doing whatever it took to oust donald trump from power. for them, they viewed the entire coronavirus pandemic which was a global pandemic that came out of china as trump's fault. so when trump or other people like mike pompeo or even people who weren't in the administration were talking about the troubleing facts surrounding how the virus was unleashed upon the world, they felt it was too close to blaming china. they wanted to blame trump. they couldn't have any coverage, any reporting of the facts that would of do anything to move away from their hatred of donald trump and desire to blame him for a global pandemic, however insane that was, and to most importantly get him out of power. howie: a new

these days of beinggraham angle keeping track of the worst offenders of the week, joining me is molly hemingway, senior editor of the federalist, fox news contributor and federalist senior editor. let's begin with cnn's jake tapper who believe it or not doesn't care that much for republicans. >> we can't have those debates if one side of the argument is not willing to stick to standards and facts. they are willing to lie about joe biden wanting to steal your hamburgers and q&a on and the big lie about the election what are they not willing to lie about? watch) any of them on tv? shannon: your reaction? >> it is a good point jake tapper raises. he was one of the reporters who was primarily pushing the falsehood that donald trump did not win the 2016 election but beneficiary, a traitor who colluded with russia, one of the authors of the dossier story that got everything going. i don't think he apologized for what he did, and cost so many problems over the course of his presidency so jake tapper raises a good point, holding to his standard about the importance of truth telling. >> he said treats t

next molly hemingway joins me now.e is in trouble i thought it must be monday. >> exactly. i think it shows how wokeism destroys everything fun in our society. it is an issue because of prevalent the woke culture warriors are in affecting everything we read and experience. i'm no disney princess expert but what is interesting about this issue is that this is a princess who would i believe die if she didn't receive this kiss. and i think that even though consent is very important in human relationship most humans can't say consent isn't everything. permanent sleep or death might be worth factoring into the equation. >> dana: nobody is complaining about that part. one other part of this piece. hard to understand why the disneyland of 2021 would choose to add a scene with old-fashioned ideas what a man is allowed to do to a woman given the company's current emphasize of removing scenes from jungle cruise and splash mountain. i think this is interesting. the left thinks they can go in and rewrite the ending to other people

outnumbered" and i'm emily compagno and my cohost harris faulkner and kayleigh mcenany, also here, mollie hemingway in a virtual center seats, jason chaffetz, former utah congressmen. despite the latest guidance, at least five states and washington, d.c., are holding off on changing their mask mandates, and now nebraska governor pete are speaking out about that same day paul found out the same way everybody else did on the news. the cdc announcement came one day after the agency director appeared on capitol hill to defend the use of masks. here's what she said yesterday when she was pressed about it. watch. >> i can tell you it would've been easier if it involved a week earlier and i didn't have to go to congress, but i'm delivering it as the science is delivered to the medical journals and it evolves over the last week, i delivered it as soon as i can when we have that information available. >> emily: jason, miraculously the science happened to evolve just last week and as we just saw this came as a blind side frankly to a lot of governors and some even alleged to the white house itself. to me thi

mollie hemingway, senior editor at "the federalist" and steve hayes editor of it of the dispatch. mendous amount of power. amazon controlled servers for governments throughout the world. twitter and facebook control the public conversation. google controls what you are allowed to see and what you are not allowed to see this. is a tremendous amount of power and it's very bad that they're using it for nefarious ends. it's also true that is not what powerful regimes do. there interest a lot of ties between facebook and the democratic party. obviously these big tech oligarchs are very closely allied with the democratic party. i don't think they feel very strong if they feel the need to censor their political opponents and take such drastic action to express themselves. >> bret: it has opened the door for congressional action called for already in hearings. it's actually a bipartisan issue when it comes to big tech. >> yeah really is for totally different reasons. what facebook tried to do in oversight board is outsource difficult decisions what theover sight board says no this goes bac

mollie hemingway, senior editor at "the federalist," harold ford, jr., former tennessee congressman andholiday. steve, let's take a listen to another clip from president biden and i want to get your thoughts. >> president biden: democracy drives when the infrastructure of democracy is strong. when people have the right to vote freely and fairly inconveniently, our democracy is imperfect, and it always has been but americans of all backgrounds, races, greats, genders, identities, sexual orientations, have long spilled their blood to defend our democracy. the diversity of our country and of our armed services is and always has been an incredible strength. >> president biden: steve, did he sound like commander in chief there are did he sound like he was speaking to his base? >> you know, a little bit of both. if you look back, they use this theme frequently, basically we need to live up to the sacrifices that those who are fallen and came before us have made and i think that theme was prominent throughout joe biden's speech. obviously what he was doing he was speaking to the fights over vo

harold ford jr., mollie hemingway, senior editor at "the federalist" and bill bennett former education secretary and host of the bill bennett show podcast. bill, start with you. you heard jennifer's report and peter about really what changed to produce this announcement that this investigation is going to move forward today? >> we don't know. we don't know what the president saw. i found interesting in that report, by the way, some aggressiveness on the part of the press. they perhaps heard the siren call of objectivity that there can be aggressive questioning of the biden administration. if so, i hope so. look, we don't know what he heard. we do know there was a vested biden administration in denying the truth of anything donald trump said. i mentioned this the other night. the other thing, of course, is the stonewalling by china from the very beginning about what happened and how this occurred. now, it would be good if the president would push president xi a little bit but you just saw in your report, that the white house was reluctant to admit any conversation had taken place. let's

mollie hemingway, senior editor at "the federalist." harold ford jr.tion to that interview. >> bret, you are a tough questioner. and those of us in congress know that before we come on your show. so i think liz deserves credit for going to an environment where you are going to be asked tough questions. i think the one that stumped her the most is why do you want to be the leader of a conference that you are out of sync with. and i didn't hear an answer for that you ask the questions people want to hear. you were tough. i also think she deserves credit for answering them. there are easier venues had than coming on with bret baier. >> bret: mollie? >> liz cheney seems obsessed with donald trump and she is very passionate about this. i think a lot of republicans are wondering where was that fire in the belly for the last four years when democrats were questioning the 2016 legitimacy, when they were says the election was stolen and that donald trump wasn't legitimate. hillary clinton and former president carter, one out of three house members on the democr

let's bring in our panel mollie hemingway. susan page.n here. where do you think this stands? >> well, i think you made the most important point is that to have the senate majority leader and the senator minority leader at a markup which is pretty sleepy affair emphasizes how much important both sides attach to this legislation. and i will just give you the democratic party perspective because i think it's really important to understand how they are viewing this politically. to an outside observer, it looks like the democrats are flying easy. you know, they control washington. they have the house, the senate, the white house. the truth is it's much more tenuous and probably, if history is any guide, going to lose the house next november. so, for democrats, they see they have got this window of time to pass this legislation, which they view as crucial to ensuring that they can remain in power in future elections and not be locked out of power. maybe a decade of republican majorities. so both sides view existential. that's why you see the l
