What if Johnny Carson turned MLK’s murder into a punch line?



What if, in 1968, after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., Johnny Carson opened “The Tonight Show” with jibes about how one of King’s own supporters had pulled the trigger? What if he followed with a gag suggesting that President Lyndon Johnson didn’t care much about losing a friend? Or how maybe we need to keep up the pressure on conservatives who think free speech includes engaging those who disagree with them in civil dialogue?

Does anyone believe NBC executives would have shrugged and said, “Let Johnny talk — free speech, you know”? Does anyone think Carson’s 12 million nightly viewers would have treated it as harmless banter and tuned in the next night with curiosity about what he might say next?

Jimmy Kimmel needs to ‘grow a pair,’ take his lumps, and find another venue.

When the members of the first Congress wrote the First Amendment, enshrining freedom of speech, they did it within the context of the words of John Adams: “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

St. Paul puts it this way: “‘I have the right to do anything,’ you say — but not everything is beneficial. ‘I have the right to do anything’ — but I will not be mastered by anything” (1 Corinthians 6:12).

Sadly, I was included in an email from a dear relative who chided anyone who did not protest Jimmy Kimmel’s firing, citing the First Amendment. My relative felt very strongly about this. In his own words, if you didn't loudly defend Kimmel, you needed to “grow a pair.”

My wife and I had just finished watching the entire eight-hour-long, beautiful, uplifting, and spirit-filled memorial service for Charlie Kirk. Before I went to sleep, I decided to clear out my email inbox for the day. Unfortunately, I opened the email from my relative (thinking it was just the usual newsy missive) and read his thoughts.

He had written his opinions before the service, so I am not sure if he would have sent the same message; he made it clear that what happened to Charlie was certainly serious and evil.

No buts about it

My relative used words I had heard before from those who want to virtue signal, while also insisting that doing bad things is not acceptable. It was a variation of this: Yes, what happened to Charlie Kirk was wrong, terrible! But ...

If you hear people on the left — or even people who consider themselves rational, reasonable people “in the middle” who like to play the both-sides-are-wrong card — you need to push back. Comparing the temporary suspension of a mediocre, inconsequential talent like Kimmel to the assassination of a beautiful, influential man like Kirk — well, they are not in the same arena.

Since I was the only one on the email thread who knew Charlie personally (we had been colleagues at Salem Radio), I felt my comments would carry more weight.

I highlighted the Martin Luther King Jr.–Carson comparison and then focused on the “free speech” aspect from a purely business standpoint.

Jimmy Kimmel loses tens of millions of dollars for the network annually. It's been said that his viewership was so low that if you posted a video on X of your cat playing the piano, you could attract more viewers than Kimmel gets on any given night.

Moreover, the claim that Kimmel was denied his First Amendment rights is simply untrue. Kimmel remains free to say whatever he wants anywhere else. For example, when Tucker Carlson (who had the hottest show on Fox, making millions for the network) was canceled for speaking the truth politically, he launched his own “network.”

The funny thing is (no, not jokes from Kimmel’s opening monologues), unsuccessful shows hosted by people with varying degrees of talent get canceled all the time in the world of television. If that were not so, we would all be subjected to the 59th season of “My Mother the Car,”starring Jerry Van Dyke.

Lackluster shows are replaced by something for which the viewing public actually cares to tune in. The public had clearly tuned out of Kimmel’s show a long time ago.

What Jimmy Kimmel needs to do is “grow a pair,” take his lumps, and find another venue. Nevertheless, Kimmel has (viola!) returned after all, because I suppose the network figures it still hasn’t lost enough money — or influence.

Prove Him wrong

Young Charlie Kirk paid the ultimate price for standing against the obvious evil he saw in plain sight. And in the days, weeks, months, and years ahead, many more, unfortunately, may join him.

My relative closed out his email challenging those of us who didn't agree with him to respond à la Charlie: “Prove me wrong,” he wrote.

I closed my email response to him in a way I think the humble Charlie Kirk might have done: “Jesus said, ‘I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me'” (John 14:6).

“Prove Him wrong.”

Jimmy Kimmel says he didn't mean to 'blame any specific group' for Charlie Kirk's assassination



Jimmy Kimmel returned to the studio on Tuesday after missing just four episodes following a suspension over remarks about Charlie Kirk's murderer.

"Jimmy Kimmel Live!" was pulled off the air last Wednesday after the host claimed that Kirk's alleged assassin was part of "the MAGA gang" that was desperately trying to disassociate the shooter from its political ideology.

"The MAGA gang [is] desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it," Kimmel remarked.

'This was a sick person who believed violence was a solution, and it isn't, ever.'

Following those comments, Kimmel and other liberals claimed he was the victim of a government plot to silence him. However, the host returned to the airwaves on Tuesday and prefaced his monologue with a compilation of news stories surrounding his suspension. This included left-wing networks calling his return a "huge" and "pivotal" moment in history.

Kimmel took the stage to multiple standing ovations from his audience, immediately tearing up. He mentioned all the love he had received over the weekend, including from other hosts like Howard Stern and Stephen Colbert, and even a former employer who fired him from a radio station.

But when Kimmel addressed the remarks that led to his suspension, he said he was not trying to pin any ideology to the shooter.

"I have no illusions about changing anyone's mind," Kimmel said. "But I do want to make something clear because it's important to me as a human. And that is you understand that it was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man. I don't think there's anything funny about it."

Kimmel noted he made a social media post about Kirk in support of his family, before adding, "Nor was it my intention to blame any specific group for the actions of what ... was obviously a deeply disturbed individual. That was really the opposite of the point I was trying to make."

"I don't think the murderer who shot Charlie Kirk represents anyone. This was a sick person who believed violence was a solution, and it isn't, ever," Kimmel explained.

Kimmel made time to thank those who "don't support" his show or what he believes in but support his "right to share those beliefs."

This included "Ben Shapiro, Clay Travis, Candace Owens, Mitch McConnell, Rand Paul, even my old pal Ted Cruz."

After playing a clip of Senator Cruz's remarks, Kimmel still chose to make fun of the Republican by saying, "If Ted Cruz can't speak freely, then he can't cast spells on the Smurfs."

The rest of Kimmel's monologue focused on his apparent battle with the government over his right to speech, with the 57-year-old stating that Americans cannot allow their government to "control what we do and do not say on television."

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr had said of Kimmel's network, ABC, last week, "We can do this the easy way or the hard way," in reference to Kimmel's false statements linking the suspected assassin with MAGA. This became the predominant source of liberal claims that the government was censoring speech.

ABC affiliate station owners Nexstar and Sinclair still chose not to broadcast Kimmel's show upon his return, with Nexstar telling Blaze News, "We made a decision last week to pre-empt 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' following what ABC referred to as Mr. Kimmel’s 'ill-timed and insensitive' comments at a critical time in our national discourse. We stand by that decision pending assurance that all parties are committed to fostering an environment of respectful, constructive dialogue in the markets we serve."

Nexstar owns 32 of 200 ABC affiliate stations.

Carr doubled down before Kimmel's return on Tuesday and said Democrats "simply can't stand that local TV stations—for the first time in years—stood up to a national programmer & chose to exercise their lawful right to preempt programming."

"We need to keep empowering local TV stations to serve their communities of license," he wrote on X.

Kimmel also claimed in his monologue that the powers that be, simply using the word "they," tried to "coerce the affiliates who run our show in the cities that you live in to take my show off the air."

"That's not legal," the host declared. "That's not American. That is un-American, and it is so dangerous."

In the end, Kimmel admitted his show is not important, but said rather that what is important is living in a country that allows a show like his to remain on the air.

Is that all you got? Late-night's tepid Trump trash talk tanks



Team Late Night had weeks to prepare their best shots against Orange Man Bad over summer vacation. The results? Suffice it to say there’s a reason the late-night format is heading for the dustbin of history.

To be fair, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel managed an entire monologue without crying in his return from summer break. Otherwise, it was business as usual. Yawn.

The most depressing part? The not-remotely-biased media now treats 'South Park' like the Holy Grail, reciting every aspect of each new episode to maximize its cultural impact.

“Oh, you delicate, chubby little teacup. … You want us to be canceled because we make jokes about you? I thought you were against cancel culture. Unfortunately for Frosty the Snowflake, the only place we are going is to New York.”

Stop it … you’re killing us.

Comedy kingpin Stephen Colbert struck next, and suddenly the walls were closing in on the 47th president. The far-left propagandist had to remind his audience that rumors of President Donald Trump’s demise weren’t true and that wishing for a leader’s death wasn’t the decent thing to do.

Maybe spending a decade telling fans Trump is the veritable Antichrist has repercussions.

Then, Colbert turned his comic firepower on Vice President JD Vance, who endured a soupçon of hecklers at the suddenly crime-free Union Station in D.C.

“He’s in a train station; he’s going to bang a bench,” Colbert cracked about Vance. At least we know where “The Late Show’s” $100 million-a -ear budget goes. Comic gold like that does not come cheap …

Goin' 'South'

Nor does access to all things “South Park.” Trey Parker and Matt Stone cozied up to Paramount to the tune of $1.5 billion a few weeks ago. The TV pranksters earned that cash with a show that never pulls its punches.

Left. Right. Up. Down. Pick a target, and “South Park” has smashed it over the years. And, along the way, earned the right’s respect for being an equal-opportunity offender.

Now? Each new “South Park” episode features another dreary bit where President Trump beds Satan. Literally. The show’s first four installments all featured the already stale bit, along with other smart bombs against GOP-adjacent targets.

Meanwhile, a Democratic Party that defends gang members, rising crime rates, and men claiming to be trans brutalizing women in sports gets off without a warning.

The most depressing part? The not-remotely-biased media now treats “South Park” like the Holy Grail, reciting every aspect of each new episode to maximize its cultural impact.

Weird that reporters did no such thing over the show’s 28-year-run …

Hope after 'Nope'?

It’s been three years since Jordan Peele deposited his cinematic stink bomb “Nope” on an unsuspecting public. That 2022 dud marked a massive letdown from Peele’s masterful 2017 debut, “Get Out,” and solid 2019 follow-up, “Us.”

We’ve been waiting to see if Peele can return to his former glory. Now, we’ll have to wait a bit longer. He had originally staked out October 2026 as the date for his next, untitled project. That’s no longer in the cards.

Quentin Tarantino is currently stuck on his 10th and presumably final film. He can’t commit to a project or a release date. Peele, who seemed bound for greatness after “Get Out,” has reached a Tarantino-style impasse in less than 10 years. Impressive …

Wright and wrong

Some things in pop culture are inevitable. Whenever Hollywood gets creative with its casting decisions, a small but vocal segment of Comic-Con Nation howls in protest. Remember when Sony cast four comic actresses to take over the “Ghostbusters” franchise in 2016? Or when Disney cast black actress Halle Bailey to play the formerly white Ariel in 2023’s “Little Mermaid” update?

Some fans are simply purists, and that’s understandable. A much smaller contingent operate from a whiff of misogyny and/or racism. Not remotely cool.

And once in a while, this kind of creative casting generates a collective shrug. No outrage. No hashtag complaints. That happened when actor Jeffrey Wright took over as Commissioner Gordon in 2022’s “The Batman.” Wright is a fine actor, and his addition to the cast was greeted as warmly as the rest of the geek-friendly film.

Zero controversy.

Tell that to Wright.

"I really find it fascinating, the ways in which there’s such a conversation, and I think even more of a conversation now, about black characters in these roles," Wright said. “It’s just so f**king racist and stupid. It’s just so blind in a way that I find revealing to not recognize that the evolution of these films reflects the evolution of society, that somehow it’s defiling this franchise not to keep it grounded in the cultural reality of 1939 when the comic books were first published. It’s just the dumbest thing. It’s absent all logic.”

He's a terrific actor and even better faux victim.

Jon Stewart just revealed EXACTLY how the left works



“The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart recently attempted to dunk on Blaze media co-founder Glenn Beck by claiming he flip-flopped his position on the Epstein files in unwavering support of President Donald Trump.

Of course, the talk-show host seemed to forget that taking things out of context is disingenuous — but Glenn is unfazed.

“Jon Stewart has been mocking me for years, and that’s fine,” Glenn says.

“The only reason why I want to play this,” he explains before beginning Stewart’s montage, “'cause it’s really not worth it other than for anybody who doesn’t know how the left works. What they do is they take everything out of context, and they twist it to make it look as though I’m saying something that I’m not,” he adds.


“I honestly think my favorite thing about this is watching conspiracy theorists have to unravel the red string that they themselves originally strung out. Here’s the OG conspiracy theorist, Glenn Beck, at his excitement for Trump’s beginning of the second term,” Stewart said, before playing a clip of Glenn saying he believed the Epstein files would be released immediately.

However, Stewart made it seem like Glenn was saying Trump would release the files, when it was really Kash Patel who he thought would release the files.

“I had that on very, very good authority. Trust me, very good authority on that,” Glenn says. “I can’t help that that person that told me that was wrong. It was hard to be wrong, but they were wrong. And so I look like I was just out there on a limb. I don’t really care.”

Stewart then jumps to another clip of Glenn at a chalkboard, about six months later, where he’s explaining why he doesn’t believe Trump is on the Epstein list.

The entire time, Glenn is not stating facts, but rather saying what he believes.

“I asked, ‘Do you believe that?’ Leaving it open for you to say, ‘Yes, I do believe that,’” Glenn says.

“But remember, this whole chalkboard was, ‘What do I feel is most likely,’ not ‘What happened.’ What do I feel is most likely to have happened? Why? I wasn’t excusing no release. I was saying, ‘Why wasn’t there a release? Why didn’t it happen?’ But again, you’ll notice he doesn’t cover that,” he continues.

“This is exactly the way the left works,” he says, adding, “And especially with people like Jon Stewart, who are doing comedy, you take it out of context, and you take it out of context so you can make it funny.”

Colbert gets canceled — by CBS, not conservatives



Stephen Colbert has been vaporized, canceled by CBS. Donald Trump is celebrating. Liberal Hollywood is outraged! Regular folks don't care.

Goodnight, everybody!

New ownership at CBS is looming, and Skydance Media evidently doesn’t want a leftist pep rally every night.

But not so fast. This is a fascinating story when you examine the power angle. The once-dominant network television media is completely falling apart. According to the Nielsen folks, fewer than 20% of Americans now watch any network programming. Why? Because it’s largely boring, and traditional Americans resent the liberal culture the networks embrace all day and all night. Woke on parade. Political correctness run amok.

I have a unique vantage point here. Because of my bestselling books and controversial demeanor in general, I have appeared on late-night shows an astonishing 75 times. I know all these guys and the world they inhabit.

Colbert basically committed performance suicide. When he took over for David Letterman 10 years ago, he was coming off the red-hot satire of Jon Stewart’s “Daily Show” and his own “Colbert Report.” Yes, the boys were left-handed pitchers, but they tamped down the malice — at least somewhat. I had a lot of laughs debating Stewart.

Over the past five years, Stephen Colbert has lost more than one million viewers; his numbers descended to just above two million households daily. Profits crashed.

The primary reason for this runaway train is Colbert’s hatred for Trump and the MAGA brigades. Eighty million Americans voted for the president. Few of them can stomach Colbert’s schtick. Ideological zealotry at midnight can be tedious. The all-time king of late night, Johnny Carson, understood that. Old Johnny got his zingers in, but he rarely tried to demean anyone.

All the late-night hosts have talent. It’s impossible to do the job if you don't. Letterman was very quick and edgy. My debates with him are legendary, especially the one where he called me a thug but couldn’t back it up when I challenged him.

On my final appearance with Dave, his audience gave me a standing ovation.

Letterman was cranky but rarely displayed overt hatred. He invited me on 16 times and wrote me a gracious note after every appearance.

Jay Leno was essentially a stand-up comedian, not deeply invested in promoting politics. Same with Jimmy Fallon, although he understands the far-left culture at NBC. Remember the heat Fallon took when he good-naturedly messed up Donald Trump’s hair?

Jimmy Kimmel has drifted into the political swamp mostly because he despises the president. I like Kimmel personally. But he’d be wise to spread the satire around. ABC will be the next place to purge extremists.

My old adversary, Stewart, a brilliant talent, has also succumbed somewhat to strident presentations. Although when I sparred with him last August, the mischievous glimmer was back, at least for a night.

So Stephen Colbert leaves the CBS stage. New ownership is looming, and Skydance Media evidently doesn’t want a leftist pep rally every night. Hollywood will take care of Colbert, so we will see him again.

I bet Donald Trump can’t wait.

Farewell to Stephen Colbert, fake laughs, and lame late-night bias



Those who still remember what real comedy looks like got some good news last week: CBS announced that it’s canceling Stephen Colbert’s “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”

I know what you’re thinking — hadn’t that already happened? Spiritually? Emotionally? Creatively? Fair questions. After all, the last time Colbert got a genuine laugh, the Comedy Network still existed, and you could make a joke on TV without it requiring a full apology tour.

Look, I’m not saying no one ever laughed. But if someone did, it probably wasn’t because of his act. More likely, they were laughing at him. People often told him his show was funny — just not his show. Somewhere on television that night, something was funny. That counts, right?

Colbert spent a decade scolding America to sleep, hoping the canned applause would drown out the snoring.

Let’s be serious for a moment (which is more than Colbert’s done in about a decade). Without his show lulling viewers into a state of dull leftist self-congratulation each night, we might see a nationwide spike in melatonin sales. “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” served as a free sleep aid for coastal elites who needed to be reassured — just before bed — that they were smarter than everyone else. No comfort like being tucked in and handed their favorite Squishmallow.

Melatonin for the masses

From the beginning, Colbert built his career on mocking conservatives. His original shtick on Comedy Central was a parody — a pretend conservative who was mocking real conservatives, but with just enough smugness to pass as “clever” in a faculty lounge.

It worked — for a while. But like most one-joke acts, it wore thin fast. When he made the jump to CBS, the parody turned into reality: a genuine leftist, playing the role of a leftist, telling jokes only a leftist could love — while aiming hate at conservatives.

Colbert wasn’t a comedian. He was an actor pretending to be a comedian, which is only slightly more honest than most modern pundits pretending to be journalists.

Bias dressed as truth

But there’s a deeper lesson here. Colbert belongs to the same cultural bubble as NPR’s president, the university diversity officer, and the late-night writers’ room packed with Ivy League graduates who somehow believe their worldview is “neutral.”

They talk a big game about identifying bias — but can’t see the deep blue (or Marxist red) lens that shapes everything they see and say. They honestly believe they’re just “telling the truth” — a truth that, conveniently, always punches right and kisses left.

That’s what made Colbert’s show feel like a parody of itself. You kept waiting for the wink, the nudge, the moment he’d break character and admit the absurdity. But it never came.

Instead, he delivered gentle laughs for Democrats — “Teehee, aren’t they quirky?” — and launched into furious monologues about Trump, DeSantis, or anyone to the right of Mitt Romney. It wasn’t satire. It was seething partisan rage, disguised as applause-sign comedy.

You wanted it to be a bit. But it wasn’t. It was just Colbert. Night after night. Until the ratings finally collapsed and put the whole sad production out of its misery.

One shining moment

I’ll give credit where it’s due. Colbert did have one moment of brilliance — a genuine philosophical zinger. It happened years ago, back when Colbert still hosted “The Colbert Report.” His guest was none other than Lawrence Krauss — the disgraced ASU physicist who became famous for telling people the universe came from nothing (a philosophical trick so bold it somehow earned him a book deal and a speaking tour).

Krauss was on to promote his book, “A Universe from Nothing,” and Colbert got him to admit that what he’s talking about isn’t nothing, but rather something called “quantum foam.” The book’s title was blatant false advertising.

And then Colbert — clearly out of character for once — did something I still show my philosophy students. He pressed Krauss: “So you believe the universe came from nothing?” Krauss nodded. “And you believe God doesn’t exist, that God is nothing?” Another nod. Colbert paused and delivered the knockout line: “Then aren’t you really saying the universe came from God?”

Boom.

That one line did more to dismantle Krauss’ book than any academic critique ever could. It was sharp, witty, and philosophically devastating. (You can watch my analysis of that clip here.)

If only Colbert had stuck to that kind of comedy — the kind that exposes absurdity rather than reinforces it. Instead, he spent the next decade scolding America to sleep, hoping the canned applause would drown out the snoring.

Make comedy great again

The sad truth is that we haven’t seen real late-night humor in years. I recently caught a rerun of Johnny Carson, and it was like discovering a comedic oasis in the desert. Carson could poke fun at both sides of the aisle without apologizing for loving his country. He didn’t flirt with the virus of multicultural guilt or the blame-America-first bug that has infected entertainment for the last 20 years.

He was funny because he understood something Colbert never did: America, for all her flaws, is still worth laughing with — not just sneering at.

So farewell, Stephen Colbert. I’d say we’ll miss you, but we’ve already had years of practice.

Study: 94% of late-night guests who discussed politics were liberal; Bill Burr and Dr. Phil were the only defiant celebrities



A new study conducted over a nine-month period determined that among guests who discussed political issues on late-night programs, an overwhelming 94% were liberal.

Between October 2023-June 2024, guests of the following late-night talk shows were analyzed: "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" (ABC), "Late Night with Seth Meyers" (NBC), "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" (NBC), "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" (CBS), and "The Daily Show" (Comedy Central).

Guests were tallied as either liberal or conservative regardless of the subject matter but were labeled based on what they said in the segment. Categories of guests included celebrities and journalists and partisan officials. Former partisan officials who changed jobs were counted among celebrities and journalists. The politician label included current and previously elected office holders, staffers, spouses of politicians, etc.

The study found that the overwhelming majority of guests could be considered liberal, totaling 137 versus just eight conservatives.

Host Stephen Colbert has the highest discrepancy between hosting Democrat and Republican officials, at a ratio of 14:1. Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, and Jimmy Fallon did not host any Republicans at all.

The various "The Daily Show" hosts, however, hosted the most with four. The Comedy Central show had Republicans Nancy Mace and Nikki Haley on its program, while Colbert's Republican of choice was Liz Cheney, Media Research Center reported.

'Late-night hosts have abandoned comedy to dutifully deliver regime-approved talking points in lockstep.'

For Democrats, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, and former Obama staffers were just some of the left-leaning individuals who were welcomed on the shows.

In terms of journalists and celebrities, 104 liberals were interviewed versus just three conservatives.

Colbert again had the most partisan showing with 34 left-wing interviewees and none from the right wing. "The Daily Show," on the other hand, had 29 liberals compared to three conservatives; Meyers went 21 to zero.

Those who were tallied in the conservative category weren't exactly hard-line Republicans, either. The three who were noted as journalists or celebrities were Dr. Phil, author Jonathan Haidt, and comedian Bill Burr, who makes it a point to consistently mock both sides of the political spectrum.

The most frequent appearances by partisan guests were led by a fellow late-night host John Oliver, who had seven guest spots on the shows. MSNBC's Chris Hayes, CBS's Gayle King, and CNN's Jake Tapper were some of the more frequent guests as well. Host Meyers himself made three appearances on the circuit.

Other notables included Arnold Schwarzenegger, CNN's Anderson Cooper, and ABC host George Stephanopoulos. A complete list of guests is available online.

"Late-night hosts have abandoned comedy to dutifully deliver regime-approved talking points in lockstep," political strategist Kingsley Wilson told Blaze News. "The only thing amusing about these hosts is their inability to connect with the average Americans outside their elitist bubbles."

"It's no wonder late-night TV is losing viewers and money faster than Joe Biden loses his train of thought," Wilson joked.

Chris Cuomo DESTROYED in debate over COVID failures



Not only is Chris Cuomo now openly questioning the narrative he helped spread during the pandemic — he’s talking to Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” about it.

And while he often isn’t right, at least he’s willing to talk about it.

In a recent episode of “The Chris Cuomo Project,” the pair sat down and debated the massive list of failures that occurred under the government and media’s watch not so long ago.

“I think the vaccine was not a vaccine, the vaccine did not work,” Rubin says to Cuomo, who then shoots back, “It works.”

“It’s why the hospitalizations came down,” Cuomo added.

“I know everyone says that, but I don’t think there’s really any evidence of that,” Rubin says. “I’m not vaxxed, they're not vaxxed, none of my crew is vaxxed.”

While Cuomo notes that Rubin and his crew aren’t the people that needed to be vaccinated, Rubin reminds him that everyone was being forced.

“That is going to be something that needs to be reviewed and scrutinized and, I believe, ultimately found to have been wrong,” Cuomo says, surprisingly.

However, he disagrees when Rubin shoots that “Fauci should be in jail” for what he’s done to the American people.

“For what?” Cuomo asks, shocked. “What’s the crime?”

“Just in the last few days he’s admitted that six-feet social distancing was largely made up. He completely admitted it,” Rubin explains. “He’s the head of the NIH.”

“The rule was from the CDC,” Cuomo argues, not budging.

“There was nothing backing it,” Rubin says, noting that wasn’t the only thing that had no backing. “There was no evidence that when you went to a restaurant, if you were sitting you could take your mask off, and COVID could only get the waiter who was standing and had to wear the mask.”

“Masks don’t work, at all.”
