JW’s Farrell got banned for bring up their 28-page report on Soros getting State Dept/USAID money etc. Malkin says she is no longer on Fox because she looked at Soros influence, etc:

I was unaware Malkin wasn’t on Fox b/c of this. I do remember her and O’Gasbag having some sort of unhealable rift on the air a few years back.

Good for Tucker and I fully expect him to be canned by Fox in the very near future related to honest segments like last night.

more great Tucker:

21 Sept: The Wrap: Tucker Carlson Trashes RBG Over Final Wish for SCOTUS Replacement: ‘Pathetic’ (Video)
“Did she really leave this world fretting about a presidential election?” Tucker said, mocking the late Supreme Court justice
by Phil Owen
Tucker Carlson once again complained about the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s final wish on Monday, saying it’s “insulting” to having an issue with letting a historically unpopular president choose RBG’s replacement right before a new presidential election.

Tucker started out his Monday Fox News show complaining about any Democrat who had talked about RBG’s wish. Per Clara Spera, her granddaughter — as reported by NPR — Ginsburg said days before she died: “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.”
“Consider for a moment the reasoning here, the argument that they’re making. Nothing is more important than our Constitution — that Constitution is in grave jeopardy. That’s why we must substitute an 87-year-old woman’s final wish for the constitutionally prescribed process for filling a supreme court seat,” Carlson ranted dryly...

“That’s what they’re arguing. Got that? Pretty amusing. Keep in mind we don’t really know actually what Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s final words were. Did she really leave this world fretting about a presidential election? We don’t believe that for a second. If it were true, it would be pathetic.”...

“Life is bigger than politics, even this year. We wouldn’t wish final words that small on anyone, so we’re gonna, again, choose to believe that Ruth Bader Ginsburg didn’t really say that,” Tucker went on. “That in real life, she was thinking at the end about her family and where she might be going next. Human concerns not partisan ones.”...

“In practical terms it’s irrelevant what she said. Ruth Bader Ginsburg doesn’t get to pick her replacement from her deathbed. That’s not how it works. We have a Constitution we’re supposed to be defending, remember, and that’s the whole point of the Constitution. If Justice Scalia had said something like that, nobody would have cared. We would have been embarrassed for him. Thankfully, he didn’t say that,” Tucker said.

“On some level Democrats know all this. All this talk about Ginsburg’s dying wish is ridiculous and insulting to all of us and our country. And they’ll stop soon. Democrats have an alternative argument at the ready and it’s one they’ve been honing all year. It goes like this: do what we want or we will hurt you. That’s the real argument they’re making.”

NPR’s Totenberg was the source:

22 Sept: Daily Mail: REVEALED: Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s ‘most fervent’ deathbed wish to be replaced by ‘the next president’ was told to her granddaughter and made public in her obituary written by friend, an NPR reporter
•Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s final wish was revealed in reporting by National Public Radio’s Nina Totenberg
•Totenberg included those details in the obituary she wrote for Ginsburg Friday night
•The NPR reporter said that Ginsburg dictated the statement to her granddaughter Clara Spera
•’My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed,’ Ginsburg said
•On Monday during an appearance on ‘Fox & Friends,’ President Donald Trump floated that the statement was a creation of top Congressional Democrats
•’But that sounds like a Schumer deal or maybe a Pelosi or shifty Schiff,’ Trump suggested
By Nikki Schwab
Totenberg included the anecdote in the obituary she published LINK after Ginsburg’s death became public Friday night...

2m35s Cuomo re quote: “according to family”; doesn’t say Totenberg.

Tweet: Cuomo Prime Time
“I was astonished that she was so prescient that she had to say out loud what I think most of us...are thinking.” DC Del. @EleanorNorton, long-time friend of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, reacts to reports that Ginsburg didn’t want to be replaced “until a new president is installed.”

Why the taboo, even the DA in Albany NY was financed by Soros. I remember the Occupy Wall Street Days when the DA said he would not prosecute any of the participants for anything.

the origin of the quote:

18 Sept: NPR: Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Champion Of Gender Equality, Dies At 87
by Nina Totenberg, Weekend Edition Saturday
Just days before her death, as her strength waned, Ginsburg dictated this statement to her granddaughter Clara Spera: “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.”
She knew what was to come...
https://www.npr.org/2020/09/18/100306972/justice-ruth-bader-ginsburg-champion-of-gender-equality-dies-at-87

what a joke. Snopes links to wrong NPR url; has actor/comedian tweet as part of their proof it’s true!

21 Sept: Snopes: Did Ginsburg Say Her ‘Most Fervent Wish’ Was Not To Be Replaced by Trump?
The U.S. Supreme Court justice dictated a message to her granddaughter shortly before she died.
by DAN EVON
As transcribed by her granddaughter, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said: “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.”
RATING: Correct attribution

As McConnell reversed course in 2020, saying that Trump should be the one to nominate a replacement for Ginsburg (despite the fact that this seat on the Supreme Court Bench opened up just 46 days before an election), a quote supposedly uttered by Ginsburg during her final days expressing that her most “fervent wish” was not to be replaced by Trump started to circulate on social media:

TWEET: Kumail Nanjiani (ACTOR/COMEDIAN) - 19 Sept 2020
No matter where we go from here, this is a remarkably selfless statement to make on your deathbed:
“My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new President is installed.”
RIP Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
https://twitter.com/kumailn/status/1307119280027299840

This is a genuine quote from Ginsburg. This quote was first reported by NPR in an article about the Supreme Court judge’s death. Ginsburg dictated this statement to her granddaughter, Clara Spera, in the days before her death...

NPR reported:
‘Just days before her death, as her strength waned, Ginsburg dictated this statement to her granddaughter Clara Spera: “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.”’...

The above-displayed quote originated with Ginsburg’s family. Spera described her close relationship with her grandmother, whom she called “Bubbie,” in a 2018 profile published by Glamour...

Despite the origins of this quote, Trump cast aspersions on this remark, baselessly claiming that it could have been written by a Democrat...

“Tucker should give no quarter to the Fox snowflakes”

I saw the Newt segment, shocking as I rarely watch FNC, especially the afternoon programing. Anyway I’d love to know why Melissa Francis shut Newt down? I really think the three women in that segment were wired up with earphones and a producer was yelling in their ears to shut him down, Francis stepped up even though one of the Lefty analyst was one of the three women in that segment, Sickening. Glad Tucker stood up, that is a shot over the bow at Fox.

Soros Florida play looks like vote buying. DeSantis needs to put a magnifier on it.

Not so sure I’m buying what Malkin is saying, could be true. But what I do know is she departed Fox within a week or two of totally destroying Juan Williams on air. It was a brutal take down and probably was taken to far even though I enjoyed every second of it. It may have been a Hannity segment if I recall right.

...ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt. “@FoxNews won’t have Chris Farrell on for making similar remarks...

Ok, had to look up something by Chris Farrell and found this great article:

FARRELL: Evidence Of Criminal Human Activity Causing Wildfires

There’s evidence of criminal human activity causing forest fires. Over a dozen people have been charged recently with setting western wildfires. Domingo Lopez Jr. may be the champion firebug. He started a brush fire along I-205 in Oregon using a Molotov Cocktail, was arrested, booked and later released. Then Lopez proceeded to start six more small fires in the next twelve hours before being apprehended again. Another alleged arsonist, BLM activist Jeffrey Acord, livestreamed the fire on Facebook as police arrived, then claimed to be calling the incident in.

There are at least 10 billionaires who have been funding the Democrats since 2000.
There was a secret meeting setup on an island in the Caribbean in either ‘99 or ‘20 (can’t remember which) where at least 10 showed up to discuss how to win elections for the Democrats for the next 40 years.

We know Soros, Gates and Bezos were there.
I suspect Buffet and Tom Steyer also attended.

The advertisers Tucker has pay way less than what mainline corporations do. He’s down to MY Pillow and a bunch of small companies you have never heard of. Long term that will cut into his salary big time.

I wonder what left wing nut job vegetarian flesh tastes like with A1

I watched the entire video clip at the site from beginning to end.

I believe the clip has been hacked and edited. Why I can’t figure out.

Someone edited the clip to block out any of the clips of mob violence that Tucker had in his broadcast to illustrate the Democrats Cities condoning violence to promote their political ends.

I was done in a very amateurish fashion by putting a web browser window overtop of the video showing violence. Watch the clip starting at 23:00.

I can’t imagine FOX doing this this way.

There was a beat Trump meeting held in Sea Island, GA in 2016. Attended by rich Democrats and GOP Senators like Sasse. It was not widely reported at the time.

Tucker Carlson’s salary will be just fine. He has the ratings. That brings in more viewers for Fox as a whole, which in turn makes fox a must have on cable and raises their overall advertising rates.

I don’t think the Soros funded DA’s are soft on crime. I believe that they are actually criminals themselves.
