This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Going to have to wait
Steve what
you will know my opinion on
court packing when the election
is over.
Look, I know its a great
question and I dont blame you
for asking,
but you know the moment. I answer
that question. The headline in
every one of your papers will be
about that
other than other than
focusing on whats happening
now.
Brian here to react. Fox amp,
friends, weekend co, host, PETE
Hegseth and will Cain
PETE hold your fire
im going to go to will first,
okay! Is that all right with you
absolutely
Brian will? Is that acceptable
to you?
I know you want to talk about
whats important,
but I dont want to make
headlines
so im going to leave
PETE. Okay,
of course, its
will, of course its important
to me Brian.
You might want to know what a
presidential c candidate believe
before you elect him.
I dont think that many people
know what court packing is.
Whenever I talk about this on
social media people come back.
What is the g dot op doing,
whats Mcconnell
whats trump doing forcing Amy
Coney Barretts nomination
its not the same thing
its important to note this is
radical. The court has had nine
members for one hundred and fifty years
nobody has tried to pack. The
court increase the number of
justices since FDR. It
would delegitimize the court set
up another arms race with the
next republic president adding
another three
twelve to fifteen to eighteen.
This is radical to the american
justice system and it needs to
be explained by Joe Biden
Ainsley its the wait and see
approach.
We are familiar with this
because Nancy Pelosi wanted to
do that in twenty ten. With the
Healthcare act
watch this
we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in
that you can find out what is in
it away from the fog of the
controversy
PETE
Pete. This is the most absurd
thing I have ever heard a human
being say:
thats, not hyperbole,
wait. I know you want to know
its a good question about
packing the court, but I cant
answer it
because if I give you an answer,
then you are going to talk about
it
and im running for president. So
wait in the day after and then
remember in the debate what he
does every time he goes make
sure you vote,
make sure you vote everybody.
How stupid does he think we are
and heres why he is doing it
two things
one. He knows the media is
entirely uncritical.
They will let him get away with
it. If they can,
they will effectively say well.
He just wants the highlight the
Amy, Coney, Barrett hearings and
so thats why he is doing it
its absolutely absurd in that
context, how in the tank the
media is, but at the same time,
with Joe Biden, he also knows
his left wing. His left wing
wants
this. They believe its
necessary.
If you want to radically change
America, you add justices to the
court to prevent what Donald
Trump has done.
He knows. Listen. The polls say
that the president is behind
thats what they say. Okay,
I dont buy a lot of them, but
thats what they say.
Those are registered voters
if Joe Biden particulars off his
offticks off his Basethe hard co
lose the radical left. So I wont
answer the question. Of course I
will pack the court, if I can
Brian lets talk about what
else is happening. The debate on
Thursday supposed to be
moderated by Steve Scully.
His resume must upset the
president. He internsd with this
guy named Joe Biden,
interned there and then in two thousand and sixteen
its right there on the internet.
He is arm in arm with Joe Biden,
big smiles on their faces.
Okay,
thats, a little disconcerting.
He tweets out after Trump is
elected,
never trump. Never
I dont know Donald Trump took
issue with that. When it came to
light,
I cant believe this team would
allow it or have a say in it.
I dont know how familiar Steve
Scully is with social media, but
he did this publicly.
He tweeted right at Anthony
Scaramucci, who has become one of
the presidents biggest critics
Scaramucci. Should I respond to
Trump
Scaramucci writes back, ignore
he is having a hard enough time
more bad stuff about to go down.
Oh really,
so there is a plot in the plan.
Nice to know
number two is thats the
moderator
whats, your reaction.
Will, I will tell you this. I
will be interested to see if
PETE, with K muster up outrage
for this
im. Unsurprised
PETE, im, unsurprised,
im, not blown away by
this. All of us have been
involved in the media for some
years.
How many people do you know who
have interned for the democratic
congressman?
How many people do you know in
the media who have had some
position in the democratic
administration?
Maybe people who host morning
shows on other networks, perhaps
even spoke for democratic
president at some point,
perhaps those who write for the
new Yorker or politico,
you could name the names who
serve democratic administration.
You cant do that in reverse. By
the way
you cant point to anyone who
worked for a Republican,
congressman or republican
administration who is somehow
being played off as objective
journalist on some quote:
unquote: mainstream media
organization.
You cannot find it
im unsurprised.
We are constantly being fed this
idea that if you come from the
left, can you somehow become all
of a sudden objective?
Im unsurprised
disappointed, I guess
but Unsurprised
PETE
Pete. Will you just took away
all my outrage?
I was going to be outraged, but
you are totally right.
Its absolutely Podesta pedestri
no debate. Moderators are
Democrats who used to work for
Joe Biden
that should make your head
explode,
Ainsley PETE from what I know
about him based on our friends
in this business. I think he is
supposed to be fair
im not expecting him to be
biased when he is up there on
stage asking the question
PETE. He might be a nice guy,
thats, fine, but watch the way in
which he frames the questions
they all do it.
Do it in a way that helps the
Democrats and impugns the
motives of Republicans
thats, exactly how they do it
Ainsley. Do you think he thought
he was d dot Ming?
Did he intentionally tweet that
PETE? I think his level of
technology is about the same as
Joe Bidens.
He probably thought he was
direct messaging, Anthony
Scaramucci
Brian im, worried about what
Tony Scaramucci said at the end,
something coming down
makes me think there are forces
there.
