Full transcript

1. 0:00for a long time over there at NBC the
2. 0:02executives have come and they've gone I
3. 0:04don't even know who these two people are
4. 0:06who are running NBC now I don't I don't
5. 0:08know these people who brought R in and I
6. 0:11will tell you one other thing about
7. 0:12Chuck Todd he told me early on in my
8. 0:14time at
9. 0:15NBC he was wrong in my case but that he
10. 0:19said you'll Outlast most of the
11. 0:20executives here because the executives
12. 0:22come and they go and they do let the
13. 0:23inmates run the Asylum over there and
14. 0:25it's extraordinary to see them cloak
15. 0:28themselves in this highbrow
16. 0:31intellectualism Emily you know that we
17. 0:34are this are The Gatekeepers for this
18. 0:36vaunted brand and this scumbag can't
19. 0:39have anything to do with us without any
20. 0:43self-reflection on the sins of that
21. 0:45Network and its
22. 0:47talent I mean we've seen so little
23. 0:51reflection to that point on how badly I
24. 0:53mean NBC News botched the Russia
25. 0:56collusion thing from the beginning so
26. 0:58egregiously they currently imply employ
27. 1:02Ken delanian who left the Los Angeles
28. 1:05Times because I think it was Wikileaks
29. 1:07showed emails with him going back and
30. 1:08forth with the CIA actually running his
31. 1:11stories by his sources at the CIA and
32. 1:14they let kund delanian basically take
33. 1:16the lead on their Russian collusion
34. 1:17coverage and we have seen basically no
35. 1:19Reflection from them on that we've seen
36. 1:21no Reflection from them on their
37. 1:22coverage of uh trans so-called healthc
38. 1:25care which honestly if we're drawing
39. 1:27lines in the sand and they want to have
40. 1:29a line in the S as election denialism
41. 1:32how about how egregiously they have
42. 1:33botched the stories about transgenderism
43. 1:36and and how they've been in complic
44. 1:38complicit and actually more than
45. 1:39complicit aggressive in leading so many
46. 1:42uh young women and and young people down
47. 1:44that devastating path I mean what as
48. 1:46long as we're drawing red lines in the
49. 1:47sand how about that and it's actually
50. 1:49kind of telling we have a story up on
51. 1:51the federals today that I thought put it
52. 1:52really well why does ROM McDaniel want
53. 1:54to be a part of this I mean seriously
54. 1:56she had a response to Tod the other day
55. 1:58I can answer that
56. 2:00I don't know if I agree with it but I I
57. 2:02understand it because people on the
58. 2:04right continue to believe some people
59. 2:06that if they can get their voice of
60. 2:08their message or their positions in
61. 2:09front of you know groups of Voters who
62. 2:12are not already on the right then
63. 2:13they'll understand us better maybe
64. 2:15they'll vote differently right it's like
65. 2:17this if they could just if they could
66. 2:20just just you know it's like the way
67. 2:22frankly you are when you have somebody
68. 2:24addicted to drugs in your family if I
69. 2:25could just get them if I could just get
70. 2:28if we could just and the the just game
71. 2:30it doesn't work but I think that's what
72. 2:32was in her head but go keep going no I
73. 2:35agree with that and in her exchange with
74. 2:37Kristen Welker this weekend that really
75. 2:38set Chuck Todd off Kristen Welker asked
76. 2:41why she didn't you know denounce Donald
77. 2:42Trump's claims about the 2020 election
78. 2:44before and Ron McDaniel's answer was
79. 2:46really telling it was essentially that
80. 2:48well you know you have to take one for
81. 2:50the team when you work at the RNC um and
82. 2:53you know that's just kind of how it is
83. 2:54and that's true uh but that's actually
84. 2:57like so like bad to admit it's
85. 3:01absolutely true but now you're
86. 3:03auditioning for a $300,000 a year
87. 3:05corporate media gig and you're like well
88. 3:07I just took one for the team that's the
89. 3:09way that Washington works and that's
90. 3:10actually where there are big audiences
91. 3:12for shows like this one because people
92. 3:14are so sick of it so to eliana's point
93. 3:16NBC actually if they were outside of
94. 3:19their bubble they dismiss everybody to
95. 3:21the right of Adam kinzinger and Liz
96. 3:23Cheney as basically like in a kooky Maga
97. 3:26bubble not just normal people who are
98. 3:28upset about lies on Russia on Co and and
99. 3:31all of that stuff so they don't
100. 3:33understand that there's this huge
101. 3:34appetite in the country for real
102. 3:37contrast and for people who disagree
103. 3:39with each other so they should have
104. 3:40actually gone further than Ron and
105. 3:41McDaniel if they really wanted to do the
106. 3:44work of of showing that contrast and of
107. 3:47bringing new voices in and challenging
108. 3:49their own preconceptions which have led
109. 3:51them down dangerous paths for example we
110. 3:54could keep talking about Russia we could
111. 3:55keep talking about the Border there's so
112. 3:57many different times that they have
113. 3:58screwed this up uh so I mean they should
114. 4:00have they should have hired someone who
115. 4:01was actually even more Pro Trump than
116. 4:03Ron McDaniel and who wasn't just going
117. 4:04to squish out when Christen weler is
118. 4:06like hey and she's like well I was
119. 4:08taking one for the team the last eight
120. 4:10years I mean it's just look how of this
121. 4:14kind of thing has failed right I'm
122. 4:15thinking of Kevin Williamson down at the
123. 4:17Atlantic when he tried to go there from
124. 4:19National Review and think about even Tom
125. 4:21Cotton over at the New York Times that
126. 4:23oped and the James Bennett the editor
127. 4:26who ran it Barry Weiss leaving like kisi
128. 4:29um from The New York Times because she's
129. 4:31Center left but she she was too right
130. 4:34for them um we could keep going my God
131. 4:37there's just so many who have been MK
132. 4:38ham pushed out of CNN MK ham like she's
133. 4:41not some fire breathing magga acolyte
134. 4:44right even Jeffrey Lord who was a trump
135. 4:46supporter he was true Maga uh when Trump
136. 4:48was running the first time he was too
137. 4:49crazy for CNN right it's like they
138. 4:52they've tried it they've tried to have
139. 4:54some people who are you know on the
140. 4:56right at these networks they can't St
141. 5:00them they can't stand them they they
142. 5:02keep trying only to be horrified when
143. 5:05they find out they actually are
144. 5:07conservatives and they don't share the
145. 5:09views of the lefties and they're not a
146. 5:12Adam kininger whatever his name and
147. 5:14they're not a Liz Cheney who is a
148. 5:16conservative Elana I mean I'll give her
149. 5:18that she's she hates Trump but like that
150. 5:20that's the only way you can get on there
151. 5:22right like you could be a conservative
152. 5:24who hates Donald Trump you know but
153. 5:26eventually they start migrating I bet
154. 5:28you it's a matter of time before Liz
155. 5:29Cheney declares herself an independent
156. 5:31like Scarboro Nicole Wallace is a
157. 5:33Democrat now she used to pretend to be a
158. 5:35Republican or maybe she actually was I
159. 5:37don't know whatever she is now she's
160. 5:38hard left anyway they they're not
161. 5:41interested in getting a true
162. 5:43conservative who's going to espouse
163. 5:45conservative ideas and actually
164. 5:47potentially defend Donald Trump on their
165. 5:51Airwaves yeah I think it's the defending
166. 5:53Donald Trump part and it's not Trump
167. 5:55proper but saying like look um we have
168. 5:58two choices in this election ction we
169. 6:00have Trump and we have Biden and I'm
170. 6:01going to choose Trump that is not I I
171. 6:04don't think that's an acceptable view
172. 6:05that you can take on the air at these
173. 6:07networks and they very much uh want to
174. 6:11put that view Beyond The Pale one of the
175. 6:15other things by the way that they have
176. 6:17labeled beyond the pale and that they
177. 6:19criticized um R McDaniel for was her
178. 6:23criticism KK criticisms of the media
179. 6:26which they put in the endangering
180. 6:27democracy category that I found um more
181. 6:32far more objectionable than their
182. 6:34criticism of her um for you know denying
183. 6:37the 2020 election which was ridiculous
184. 6:39and she did not acquit herself well in
185. 6:41that regard in her interview with
186. 6:43Kristen Walker however when they say
187. 6:45that oh she vilified the media and how
188. 6:48could we have her on air um they have a
189. 6:50lot to account for and their
190. 6:52unwillingness to have anybody on their
191. 6:54Airwaves who has any criticism of them
192. 6:56for the things that they got wrong I
193. 6:58think um explains entirely why so many
194. 7:02people have written off the mainstream
195. 7:04media and are tuning in to the Megan
196. 7:05Kelly podcast and Alternative forms of
197. 7:08media Barry Weiss's substack who are
198. 7:10reading the Free Beacon who are reading
199. 7:11the Federalists um it is why media is
200. 7:13vulcanized because they do not allow
201. 7:15dissenting voices on their airways and
202. 7:17this is not just MSNBC which came out of
203. 7:20the gate early and said we're not
204. 7:21booking her at all that we're talking
205. 7:23about um this is the mainstream Outlets
206. 7:25the New York Times NBC News you know the
207. 7:28big players find me a republican Aliana
208. 7:31right who hasn't criticized the media
209. 7:35like if that's a deal breaker for MSNBC
210. 7:38they'll never get a republican on their
211. 7:39Airwaves that's most of us I'm not a
212. 7:43republican but I'm definitely more
213. 7:44conservative in my thinking most of us
214. 7:47wake up thinking about the latest way we
215. 7:49hate the media the latest sin the
216. 7:51media's critici committed how like you
217. 7:55how how often do you see those posts on
218. 7:57X as much as you hate the media it's
219. 7:59it's not enough and you get another
220. 8:00examp like I think everyone who Center
221. 8:03or right of Center hates the media and
222. 8:06yet you you can't you get hired I guess
223. 8:08as an NBC contributor if you've said
224. 8:10negative things about
225. 8:13them yeah that view is beyond the pale
226. 8:15not allowed and they have to put it in
227. 8:17the your endangering democracy bucket
228. 8:20because
229. 8:22um they have to cast themselves it's Jim
230. 8:25Costa syndrome you know we the heroes
231. 8:27and the the heroes in our own stories
232. 8:30you saw a lot of that which by the way I
233. 8:32mean this is uh not doesn't follow
234. 8:35logically from anything I was saying but
235. 8:36it wasn't that long ago that Joy Reed's
236. 8:39blog was hacked with you know quote
237. 8:41unquote hacked right with homophobic
238. 8:44slurs and that the investigate whatever
239. 8:47she's still looking for the real killer
240. 8:49uh with OJ the real hack the blog it's
241. 8:53true stop it Aliana truth hon and you
242. 8:56know Joe Joe Scarboro and Ma bin
243. 9:00on their uh show says we weren't
244. 9:02consulted about this as if you know the
245. 9:04executives over there are supposed to
246. 9:05consult them about every move they make
247. 9:07and managing the company and they sit
248. 9:08there with Al Sharpton every day um who
249. 9:13not so long ago was jinning up race
250. 9:15riots and Crown Heights I mean
251. 9:18conspiracy the there is of course there
252. 9:20is of course um a grotesque double
253. 9:23standard here that you could point out
254. 9:25um
255. 9:27while having criticism of both sides of
256. 9:30this equation but the double standard is
