Matt Walsh, Larry O'Connor share personal stories about Tucker Carlson



In the wake of Fox News Media's shocking Monday announcement that the network and Tucker Carlson had "agreed to part ways," some people shared stories about their own personal experiences with Tucker Carlson.

Radio host Larry O'Connor noted that Carlson once invited him over for Thanksgiving at a time when he otherwise would have had a "lonely" holiday.

"When I first moved to DC, @TuckerCarlson heard it was my first Thanksgiving away from home. I had just gone through a divorce and my kids were on the other side of the country. He invited me to his home and I enjoyed Thanksgiving with his father, his wife, his children and his dogs. They treated me like I was a part of the family. It turned what would have been a sad and lonely day into one I'll never forget. His family is full of joy and love and laughter. Tucker is the winner today," O'Connor tweeted.

Conservative commentator Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire shared that Carlson had once reached out to express apprication for his work.

"Tucker sent me a text message out of the blue several years ago just to tell me he appreciates my work. I had a much lower profile back then. I didn't think he even knew who I was. He took the time to track my number down and reach out. Very few people like that in this business," Walsh tweeted.

\u201cExtremely rare that someone much higher on the totem pole will send you a word of encouragement when they stand to gain nothing from it. There are only a few people in the business who will do something like that and one of them is Tucker Carlson. Great talent and a good man.\u201d

"Tucker Carlson once called me, out of the blue, because he had heard through friends that I was going through a rough patch," tweeted Nate Hochman. "We had never spoken before, but he took 45 minutes out of his night to offer support/advice. It remains one of the most surreal experiences of my life."

\u201cOne of the most powerful men in conservative politics took the time to sit down and call some random 23 year old kid he had never met \u2014 just to tell him to hang in there, and to ask if there was anything he could do to help. It\u2019s something I will never forget\u201d

Fox News senior meterorologist Janice Dean did not provide specifics about her own experienes with Carlson, but noted that he has been kind to her.

"I've been the recipient of his kindness many times, and I've never seen or heard him do anything mean or hurtful to anyone. I've reached out to Tucker and his wife Susie to say I’m here if they need anything, because I know he would do the same for me," Dean tweeted.

"Tucker Carlson is one of the kindest public people who helped me over the years unconditionally. I've seen him do this for others as well," journalist Andy Ngô wrote.


\u201cA good measure of character & humility in a public figure is the time they're willing to spend to help those "without status." I've encountered some who only associate as long as it benefits their brand or project. \n\nTucker Carlson is one of the kindest public people who helped\u2026\u201d

The Atlantic gets ridiculed and ratioed for demanding 'amnesty' for COVID tyrants, claiming dehumanization 'wasn't a moral failing'



The Atlantic started the week off with an audacious demand in an article entitled, "Let's Declare a Pandemic Amnesty." Emily Oster, an economist at Brown University, wrote, "We need to forgive one another for what we did and said when we were in the dark about COVID." Oster's proposal was met with ridicule and contempt.

Judging by the overwhelmingly negative response to the article on Twitter, many are not yet ready to absolve those who for years championed and partook in oppressive and discriminatory pandemic laws and social conventions — laws and conventions that had family members die alone, persons wary about experimental vaccines lose their jobs, children isolated and academically stunted, and Americans segregated.

No consequences, thanks

In the article published Monday, Oster noted that she and her family had taken "misguided" precautions such as wearing bandanas as masks that "wouldn't have done anything, anyway" on empty hiking trails.

While largely ignoring the more severe measures taken and rules enforced in the name of public safety, Oster referenced the arbitrary closure of beaches and the unjustifiable closure of schools as two examples of "getting it wrong."

"We didn't know," Oster wrote, indicating that ignorance justified the rest.

Oster argued that in "the face of so much uncertainty ... getting something wrong wasn't a moral failing."

Meanwhile, she contended that some of "the right people were right for the wrong reasons."

Oster is keen not to treat "pandemic choices as a scorecard on which some people racked up more points than others." She wants to move forward.

Discussions about how some people were immediately ready to dehumanize their neighbors or castigate fellow citizens for exhibiting wariness about untested medications tend to be "heated, unpleasant and, ultimately, unproductive" so why, suggested Oster, have them?

Oster's solution: "Put these fights aside and declare a pandemic amnesty."

"We need to learn from our mistakes and then let them go. We need to forgive the attacks, too," Oster declared, suggesting that expecting accountability for the "complicated choices" some people made "can lead to a repetitive doom loop."

No, we insist

Oster got ratioed when she linked to her article on Twitter. The post received 2,300 likes and over 32,300 replies. Many of the replies indicated that justice must be given priority over forgiveness.

Oster had recommended forgiving but not forgetting. Fox News meteorologist Janice Dean indicated that she would do neither, writing, "Many of us won't ever forgive or forget. Especially when it comes to the seniors who died in nursing homes after leaders flooded their residences with covid patients and never told us or protected them. They knew better. We deserve justice first."

\u201cOh no, @ProfEmilyOster. Many of us won\u2019t ever forgive or forget. Especially when it comes to the seniors who died in nursing homes after leaders flooded their residences with covid patients and never told us or protected them. They knew better. We deserve justice first.\u201d

The rapper Nzube Olisaebuka Udezue (Zuby) wrote, "People want justice and accountability. Nobody has properly acknowledged nor apologised for the immense pain, grief, and harm they caused to others. People who never wronged them at all. Including you. We have receipts."

\u201c@ProfEmilyOster @TheAtlantic No. People want justice and accountability.\n\nNobody has properly acknowledged nor apologised for the immense pain, grief, and harm they caused to others. People who never wronged them at all. \n\nIncluding you. We have receipts.\u201d
— ProfEmilyOster (@ProfEmilyOster) 1667212895

Libs of TikTok replied to Oster: "I'll never forget what the Democrats did - how they destroyed thousands of lives by forcing school/business closures, people died alone in hospitals while nurses danced because they didn't allow visitors, thousands lost their jobs for refusing a vax, list goes on and on."

Ukrainian-American podcaster Michael Malice noted that it is hard to forgive when those in apparent need of forgiveness have never apologized.

Turning Point USA contributor Laura Chen highlighted how the "pandemic amnesty" advocate had previously recommended the unvaccinated be shamed and segregated.

\u201c@ProfEmilyOster @TheAtlantic Forgiveness usually comes after an apology.\n\nI see no apology in this piece.\n\nRemember how you encouraged family members to pressure each other and the unvaxxed to be fired?\n\nPerhaps a little "I'm sorry for that" would be a good place to start.\u201d
— ProfEmilyOster (@ProfEmilyOster) 1667212895

Others called the proposed amnesty into question, suggesting — in many cases with the aid of graphic videos depicting how people were treated for not wearing masks or being found without vaccine passports — that the offenses for which Oster demands forgiveness weren't simply a matter of not knowing "any better."

\u201cAmnesty?\u201d
— Ian Miles Cheong (@Ian Miles Cheong) 1667265590

John Haar provided Oster with a reminder from Rasmussen Reports that some "mistakes" may prove too great for such swift and simple "amnesty."

The Rasmussen report referenced by Haar indicated that as of January 13, 2022, "nearly half (48%) of Democratic voters th[ought] Federal and state governments should be able to fine or imprison individuals who publicly question the efficacy of the existing COVID-19 vaccines on social media, television, radio, or in online or digital publications."

The report also revealed that "Fifty-nine percent (59%) of Democratic voters would favor a government policy requiring that citizens remain confined to their homes at all times, except for emergencies, if they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine." 79% of Republicans were opposed.

\u201c@ProfEmilyOster @TheAtlantic Emily Oster: let's just forget this happened.\u201d
— ProfEmilyOster (@ProfEmilyOster) 1667212895

Mary Harrington wrote in UnHerd that Oster's request and similar recommendations are driven by self-interest: "Those who drove Covid policy presented themselves not just as people doing their best, but as the sole bearers of rational truth and life-saving moral authority."

"Doubtless the laptop class would prefer that we judge Covid policy by intention," wrote Harrington, "not results, lest too close an evaluation result in their fingers being prised from the baton of public righteousness."

Joy Behar is heartbroken about Russia's invasion of Ukraine — and the reason is literally UNBELIEVABLE



“The View” co-host Joy Behar is so heartbroken and scared for the Ukrainians as Russia invades their country, potentially killing and displacing millions of Ukrainian citizens.

“Estimates are 50,000 Ukrainians will be dead or wounded and this is going to start a refugee crisis in Europe,” co-host Sonny Hostin said. "We’re talking about 5 million people that are going to be displaced. It’s heartbreaking to hear what is going to happen."

"Yeah," Behar agreed. "“I’m scared of what’s gonna happen in Western Europe, too. You know, you just, you plan a trip, you wanna go there. I’ve wanted to go to Italy for four years and I haven’t been able to make it because of the pandemic, and now this, you know? It's like, who's gonna, what’s gonna happen there?”

Yes, she REALLY said that. It's hard to believe, we know, so here's the video:

Keep in mind that this is the same sanctimonious snob who on Wednesday likened the "traitorous behavior" of former President Donald Trump and his supporters to fascists after Trump claimed the Ukraine invasion "never would have happened" if he was in office.

“A lot of people in the GOP right now are buying this lie, that [Trump] would have solved the problem. He would have said, ‘Here. Here is Ukraine, take it. And I’m gonna build a casino there any minute now,'” Behar said. “The traitorous behavior that’s going on right now on the right is just, it’s unbelievable to me ... for having grown up in a country that fought this fascism, we are now becoming the people that we fought!”

'Bombshell' report says thousands more coronavirus patients were sent to nursing homes than Cuomo previously admitted



A report from the Associated Press documenting thousands more of coronavirus cases being sent to nursing homes under New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is being described as a bombshell for his administration.

The report says that new documents say that more than 9,000 recovering patients were sent to nursing homes early in the pandemic.

That figure would be about 40% higher than originally reported by the New York state health department.

Cuomo has been under fire in recent weeks over reports that the deaths in nursing homes from coronavirus were far higher than his administration reported.

When Cuomo was confronted with the startling report, he angrily dismissed it and said it didn't matter where the people died.

The new documents obtained by the AP show that the health department had previously only reported new cases of coronavirus that were sent to nursing homes. The higher statistic takes into account previously unreleased numbers of coronavirus patients that were "readmissions" into nursing homes.

Cuomo faced fierce criticism over the order to admit coronavirus patients into nursing homes he made on March 25, when pandemic deaths were peaking in New York. He later rescinded that order on May 10.

Fox News meteorologist Janice Dean excoriated Cuomo over the alarming revelation. Dean's in-laws both died of coronavirus they caught while at a New York nursing home after Cuomo's order.

"This is a bombshell," tweeted Dean.

This is a bombshell. We were told just over 6,000 patients. The numbers are skyrocketing not only in terms of infe… https://t.co/3d9WzblouC

"We were told just over 6,000 patients. The numbers are skyrocketing not only in terms of infected patients but the total number of seniors that died is now over 15,000 which is 65% higher than what @NYGovCuomo has been saying up until a week ago," she added.

New York state Republicans on the Oversight and Investigations Committee are calling for officials to be subpoena'd for a public hearing in order to get to the bottom of the nursing home scandal. They say that so far their efforts have been stonewalled by the health department and the governor's office, according to WCBS-TV.

Here's more about the damaging nursing home report:

'Heartless monster' NY Gov. Cuomo torn to shreds by Meghan McCain, Megyn Kelly for insult to Fox News' Janice Dean



It hasn't been the best kickoff of the new year for far-left New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo:

What now?

But now Cuomo may have outdone himself.

You might recall that Fox News senior meteorologist Janice Dean has been a vocal critic of Cuomo's handling of New York nursing homes amid the coronavirus — particularly as she lost both of her in-laws to COVID-19 in 2020.

Earlier this week, Dean ripped Cuomo's botched coronavirus vaccine rollout, calling it a "disaster ... it is just another leadership failure from this governor," Fox News reported.

"I have been covering him for about 10 months, and I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that he is interested in being a celebrity instead of being a governor," she added, according to the cable network.

How did Cuomo react?

When Cuomo's office was asked about Dean's comments earlier this week, the response was as follows: "Last I checked, she's not a credible source on anything except maybe the weather," the Wrap reported.

Uh oh.

Then what?

Fox News contributor Guy Benson had the following to say in response: 'Wow, what an a**hole."

Then Meghan McCain and Megyn Kelly joined in to defend Dean:

  • "After @Janicedean lost BOTH her in-laws this year in NY nursing homes, instead of mourning with her and listening to her, Cuomo smears her," McCain — who co-hosts "The View" — tweeted. "There is blood on your hands Cuomo, and we all know it. You disgust me, you absolute heartless monster."
  • "@JaniceDean *is* an expert on how Cuomo's orders killed 6k+ ppl, including her in-laws," Kelly wrote. "She had to become one. B/c the media didn't give a damn. And when she spoke up, the media mocked her for going beyond weather — just like Cuomo did here. And all of those ppl can F right off."

Dean, as you might expect, was happy with the support from McCain and Kelly:

I am so grateful for my friends. ♥️ https://t.co/2IY5vQK57K
— Janice Dean (@Janice Dean)1610735222.0

McCain added an insurance policy, later telling Dean: "I would wrestle an ox with my bare hands for you my sister. No one is going to let off what Cuomo has done to your family and so many others."

After barring New Yorkers from celebrating in Times Square, de Blasio celebrates New Year's by dancing in Times Square



New York City mayor Bill de Blasio (D) was clear: do not come to Times Square for New Year's Eve. Watch it at home on television. In case anyone missed the point, the city erected barricades to keep pedestrians away. The only people who would be allowed downtown would be the performers for the show, along with a few dozen carefully screened front-line workers.

Of course, these rules, which were promulgated by the mayor's office, apparently did not apply to the mayor himself, whose office actually tweeted out pictures of the mayor dancing with his wife in Times Square, which was eerily deserted due to the mayor's edict.


Happy #NewYear from the greatest city in the world. https://t.co/47CmOAanxD
— NYC Mayor's Office (@NYC Mayor's Office)1609483536.0

The tweet and accompanying video sparked widespread condemnation on social media, where thousands of angry commenters lambasted the mayor for being the latest in a long line of politicians who visibly flaunted the COVID-19 rules that were imposed on the rest of the population.

Fox News meteorologist Janice Dean, who has fiercely criticized New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's handling of the pandemic, typified many of the responses, tweeting, "Celebrations in Times Square for me, but not for thee!"


Celebrations in Times Square for me, but not for thee! https://t.co/IT2yUzMA09
— Janice Dean (@Janice Dean)1609514593.0

Others noted the jarring incongruity of de Blasio's public pronouncements about the current state of the pandemic in New York with his open celebration:

The spectacle was even too much for liberal network CNN, where visibly intoxicated host Andy Cohen reacted to shots of de Blasio dancing by exclaiming, "Do something with this city! Honestly, get it together!"

Co-host Anderson Cooper helpfully added, "God. Goodness."

New York's eerily deserted Times Square was one of dozens of such scenes repeated across the globe Thursday night, with the noted exception of Wuhan, China, where the Chinese government allowed thousands to party in the streets in a transparent attempt to reinforce their false propaganda message that they have handled the pandemic better than western democracies.

Fox News' Janice Dean, who lost in-laws to COVID-19, 'physically sick' over Cuomo Emmy: 'While he accepts his award,' we accepted 'caskets and urns'



Fox News meteorologist Janice Dean — who lost her elderly in-laws to COVID-19 as the virus swept through New York City's nursing homes earlier this year — was infuriated Monday and grew visibly emotional when commenting on New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's acceptance of an Emmy Award for his pandemic leadership.

Cuomo, whose pandemic actions resulted in the deaths of thousands of elderly New Yorkers, was selected to receive this year's International Emmy Founder's Award "in recognition of his leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic and his masterful use of television to inform and calm people around the world," the organization announced last week.

The Democratic governor called the news of his selection "flattering," adding, "I accept it on behalf of the people of this state."

What did she say?

Dean, a staunch critic of the governor's leadership during the crisis, blasted his frequent self-praise during an appearance on Fox News' "Fox & Friends" Monday morning.

"It's just more grief. Every time we see this governor celebrating himself on television, it's just a reminder of the people that we lost, partly because of his leadership," she said.

You are a disgrace. https://t.co/JcJFlBCpgE
— Janice Dean (@Janice Dean)1606145715.0

Later in the interview Dean added that the thought of him sending in footage of his briefings to the organization made her "physically sick."

"I heard that to get an Emmy Award, you have to send videotape of yourself to the board members," she said. "And so to think that the governor was going through some of his TV appearances talking about deaths in New York and submitting those videos to the Emmy folks really makes me physically sick. He could start his award-winning speech by saying, 'I'm really sorry for your loss.' That's something we have never heard from this governor at any of his meetings or his PowerPoint presentations."

"While he accepts his award, many of us just accepted caskets and urns of our loved ones," Dean said at the end of the interview.

What's the background?

Dean is one of many incensed at the governor for his implementation of a dangerous policy early on in the pandemic which forced nursing homes to accept coronavirus positive patients who had been discharged from the hospital. The policy remained in effect from March until May 10, and is estimated to have directly resulted in the deaths of thousands of elderly New Yorkers.

In July, Dean called for an investigation into the governor's actions pertaining to nursing homes amid the pandemic.

Despite the political heat, Cuomo has refused to accept responsibility for his actions. Instead, he has celebrated his leadership by accepting the award and publishing a book about his handling of the virus and even as it raged on in the state.

Hypocritical Gov. Andrew Cuomo says strong leaders 'admit your mistakes' — though he won't admit his



The New York Republican Party and several pundits and commentators lambasted New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo after he gave a speech over the weekend criticizing the Trump administration's response to the coronavirus pandemic and saying that strong leaders admit their mistakes.

Plugging his new book on leadership during the pandemic at Riverside Church in Morningside Heights in Manhattan Sunday, Cuomo said that a strong leader shouldn't be defensive when he's made mistakes.

"The key is to be strong and secure enough to admit your mistakes and admit your shortcomings, don't get defensive," Cuomo said. "Denying the mistake only assures repeating the mistake."

— The Hill (@The Hill)1605485700.0

The New York GOP responded to a video of Cuomo's remarks, blasting the governor and accusing him of dodging responsibility for his numerous mistakes.

After the onset of the pandemic at the beginning of the year, Cuomo infamously issued an executive directive on March 25 requiring nursing home facilities to accept patients diagnosed with COVID-19 from hospitals. The purpose of the order was to free up hospital bed space for an expected overwhelming influx of virus patients. The result of this extraordinary mistake was to house sick coronavirus patients with elderly populations that proved to be extremely susceptible to contracting the disease, resulting in the deaths of about 6,720 New Yorkers in nursing homes, according to estimates from the state Health Department.

Cuomo has never accepted responsibility for this mistake. In fact, the governor has defensively accused his critics of lying and blamed state Republicans and the New York Post for the controversy over his administration's disastrous policy.

In the speech, Cuomo also discussed progress on a coronavirus vaccine, accusing the federal government under President Donald Trump's leadership of politicizing vaccine progress and undermining the American people's confidence in the government.

"We have a vaccine on the way, truly great news," Cuomo said. "But polls say 50% of the American people say they would not take the vaccine if it were available today because they don't trust the way this federal government has politicized the process."

Cuomo added that his administration and independent medical experts will review any vaccine supplied by the Trump administration before distributing it to New Yorkers to increase confidence in the vaccine. He did not mention that in October he said he himself was "not that confident" in the Food and Drug Administration's approval process for a potential vaccine, adding that the American people "should be" "very skeptical."

President Trump on Friday held a press conference updating the nation on Operation Warp Speed and the progress pharmaceutical companies partnered with the federal government have made toward creating and distributing a coronavirus vaccine. The Trump administration announced that they expect to be able to vaccinate 20 million Americans in December and another 25 to 30 million Americans per month on an ongoing basis from there.

In his remarks, Trump called out Cuomo's vaccine skepticism and said the federal government will not be able to deliver a vaccine to New York until Cuomo's reviewers give it approval. In response, Cuomo on Sunday threatened to sue the Trump administration.

"I tell you today, if the Trump administration does not change this plan and does not provide an equitable vaccine process … we will bring legal action to protect New Yorkers," he vowed.

"President Trump must learn the lesson: Stop the abuse. Stop the division. Stop the anger. Stop the hatred. Stop the narcissism. And spend your last months trying to help people and repair the damage you have done," Cuomo said.

Commentators noted Cuomo's jarring hypocrisy. Fox News meteorologist Janice Dean called Cuomo "a real piece of work." Dean's husband's parents were both residents of New York assisted living facilities or nursing homes before they contracted COVID-19 and died.

In August at the Democratic National Convention, Cuomo declared that "our way succeeded," claiming his policies lowered the spread of coronavirus in New York and attacking Republicans for failing to control the pandemic, even as tens of thousands of New Yorkers died of the virus and the state's economy was crippled by his policies.

Now, Cuomo's comments on Sunday and his new book on lessons learned from the pandemic come as New York faces a new spike of coronavirus cases and an increase in hospitalizations. In response to this second wave of the pandemic, Cuomo days ago announced a new series of coronavirus restrictions, limiting private gatherings in New York to just 10 people indoors with Thanksgiving around the corner.

"Rhetoric only goes so far, we don't want to hear any more," Cuomo said Sunday. "We want actions, because it is results that matter at the end of the day."

Fox News host shreds Democrats for hypocrisy over street celebrations following Biden's apparent election win



Fox News meteorologist Janice Dean pointed out Biden supporters' and Democrats' apparent hypocrisy over COVID-19 for the way they took to the streets in large groups following the media's declaration that former Vice President Joe Biden had won the 2020 presidential election.

What are the details?

Biden supporters packed the streets in cities and towns across the country on Saturday to celebrate the apparent victory of the Biden-Harris ticket over incumbent President Donald Trump.

On Sunday, Dean took to social media to point out the glaring double standard when it comes to the congregation of large groups during the coronavirus pandemic.

Dean, whose husband's parents both died from COVID-19 while living at an assisted living facility in New York, wrote, "The pictures of all the crowds. The hundreds of thousands of people packed in the streets without distancing while so many of us couldn't have funerals or gatherings. Many still can't see their loved ones because of restrictions. Kids can't go to school. Businesses closed. We'll remember this."

We’ll remember this.

Dean continued, "Restrictions for some. Restrictions for none. Depends on what you're supporting. ... So many families have been told they can't gather for Thanksgiving. I haven't seen my own mom in over a year. The hypocrisy of what's allowed and what isn't is mind blowing. Media and liberal leaders, you screamed at Trump gatherings, but are so quiet for what's happening now."
