I loved the look on their faces. They were like somebody please stop this, NOW! Priceless!!!

Things have changed.

There are classes online now. At the very least, reading materials are easily accessible now.

There is no excuse for ignorance any more. You seem to carry yourself quite well.

The better question is who called the control room?

Just heard on the news, Rupert Murdock was watching and called in to tell them to get Trump off the air.

I heard Murdoch made the call and the control room told the hosts to shut it down...

What a hoot!

I love how the Trumpsters are now saying 'talk is cheap' and watch what he does, NOT what he says... LOL.

Really? So they too can't listen to this unhinged maniac either?

They can try all they want. Everybody else has the complete tape.

I have never seen this show before (I have a job and also don’t like to pollute my brain) but the look on Kilmeade’s face was the quintessential “I want to have self-respect but I also want a job. What do I do here?”

That really is the bottom line, we all need to not just sit on our hands and accept what is handed to us, we need to make informed, intelligent decisions and get involved in the process. If we let another election go as badly as the last one, then we deserve what we end up with.

We handed this past election to Donald Trump..........it can not happen again.

So that would be proof-positive that FOX News isn't an honest broker in the delivery of news if the chairman of the business proactively prevents an interview to continue presumably because it's politically harmful. Not much of a fig leaf to hide behind on this one...

I missed the whole thing until this evening. It’s hilarious! At the same time, it sheds light on how intellectually dishonest Trump’s fans are. (I’m speaking only of the intelligent ones.) There’s no way a thinking person could watch that and feel good about Donald Trump as POTUS.

God, even the Fox people were dismayed by his display! That moment when the woman closed her eyes for a few seconds... yeah, that was all of us.
