Joe Concha, media reporter for The Hill, weighs in.
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
And now no interest until January, two thousand and twenty three on all smart beds only for a limited time
back into the enamel.
We are really debate. If one
side is willing to tell the
truth,
giving him that National forum
to continue to spout, you know
to get to twenty one thousand or twenty two thousand lies.
I think just isnt worth it for
the Democrats or for Biden
Brian. How do you say I think
Joe will get crushed
thats how you do it?
The presidential election is
just ninety two days away.
Calls ramping up for Joe Biden
to forego the presidential
debates all together,
but how would the media react if
it was president Trump
supporters making the same
demand or president Trump
himself
media reporter Joe Concha from
the hill is here
Joe? All we have to do is
magical what it will be. Like
the President saying im worried
about the election,
they jumped down his throat.
What about the debates?
What has the media done with Joe
Biden?
Nothing
almost nothing.
Each week, Chris Wallace, for
instance, asked the Biden
campaign for introduce always
something else to do
not available. Is the excuse
look? Brian debates are seen by
presidential debates by
eighty million people.
Ninety million people
talking super bowl numbers here,
Joe Lockhart. How just played a
former press secretary under
President Bill Clinton,
so best unintentional comedy I
have ever seen.
The president will quote
repeat: lies and Biden will
quote, need to correct him over
and over again
in a related story, Joe Lockhart
provided cover for a president
literally impeached to for lying
to a grand jury.
Do we want Joe Biden fact
checking
he said during the debate
primaries. One hundred and fifty million people had
been killed by gun violence in
this country or half population.
He also recently said
one hundred and twenty million people had been
killed by Covid 19
yeah
thats, the guy that I want
fact checking.
So look its not just cancel
culture. Now
now we are canceling the
presidency or tradition. We have
seen all the way back during the
television era,
presidential debates for eighty
ninety million Americans to see in
October
Brian right
remember when things gets
heated with Joe Biden yell at
you and say dont vote for me.
Maybe Donald Trump will get that
number two. If you have the
truth and feel your opponent is
not telling the truth, thats
called winning a debate.
You go back and forth.
Here is where you are wrong.
Mr President,
then you win
lets see if he can do that.
Next, I want you to hear what
Bari Weiss, the former New York
Times, opinion editor said on
bill. Mahers show about the
cancel culture
in order to do our job well,
writers and editors. We need to
have a level of bravery and
thick skin and fearlessness
and when you are living in
material of an online mob,
thats extremely dangerous.
What cancel culture is about
its not criticism
its about punishment.
The writer Jonathan Rouch has
called it something like social
murder,
Brian thats, pretty
interesting,
left wing bill Maher talking to
somebody who leans left the
former editor of the times,
agreeing that we have gotten too
intolerant as a country
as a columnist, Bari Weiss
right. She was maybe center for
the New York Times,
maybe a little bit left of
center.
I found that to be a fascinating
conversation Friday night.
She also said something I found
very interesting
when you take away civil debate,
Brian right and you lose the
ability just to simply disagree
on things but find a common
ground. The next logical step is
violence,
and we are seeing that on a
night lid basis in cities like
Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis,
New York, Atlanta
across the country,
we cant even debate anymore
now, its just okay burn it
down
its, not about correcting or
roar active and taking away
lively Hood Brian
thats a dangerous time. Now
we saw it at the New York
Times an editor eliminated
forced to resign because he ran
an editorial from Tom Cotton
Republican advocating for the
use of the military during mass
protests that get out of control
that get violent.
A majority of the american
people agreed with that
according to polling, no, not
good enough.
The woke mob for that editor, and
now he doesnt have a job. Today
we are seeing that across the
country
you say something that the Woke
mob doesnt agree with and you
will be eliminated and boy. Is
that a scary time right now?
Brian, do you know the person
who has not been eliminated
after four years, who says things
that are not politically correct
every single day in tweets this
guy named President Donald
Trump,
and it drives people nuts? They
cant eliminate him
thats why its all hands on
deck to get Joe Biden as
president?
They couldnt stop him with the
Russia investigation.
They couldnt stop him. Ukraine
now theyre trying to stop him.
After four years
they were spreading words. Tell
the other countries. Dont worry.
He is going to be impeached.
You are not going to have to
deal with him for long.
He is the only one they have
been unable to stop
the reason why Brian he is
unapologetic.
Can you agree or disagree with
what the president has to say
the bottom line is he stays with
his principles, regardless of
what the reaction is,
and we saw that with the Goya
CEO recently right
where Alexandria, Ocasio Cortez
the online mob, tried to cancel
him his company
not far from me here in Jersey,
four thousand employees, just because he
said something nice about
President Trump, just like he
said something nice about.
President Obama,
you say anything nice about this
president. Apparently your
company has to go out of
business. He said no sorry im
standing by exactly what I said
and im not going to bow to a
social media mob that doesnt
really represent the country. It
represents five minutes in the
twitter sphere and thats it
companies in general and people
in general shouldnt overreact
to something that catches fire
in twitter for about five
minutes before it goes away,
and I have to applaud the Goya,
ceo and president as well
sticking to your guns, believing
in your principles and dont
worry about what everybody else
is saying:
Brian Brian, to be continued
Ellen Degeneres.
Why is everyone going after her?
Because maybe she likes
President Bush and wasnt
willing to cancel him because
they actually appeared together
and had a conversation?
I wonder if thats related,
we will have to find out.
