This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Absolutely a commission thats being discussed were going to have to figure out how we rein in our media environment so that you cant just spew disinformation and misinformation. Jedediah that was congresswoman, Ocasio Cortez, leading the call to quote rein in the free press will maybe some in the media have heard her call pause the major evening newscast at any time each cover her controversial comments. Pete, not one second here to react. Fox news, contributor and media opinion columnist for the hill, Joe Concha Joe good morning, thanks for being here, if a prominent congresswoman says, we need to rein in the media limit what they are able to say, wouldnt that be something the media might want to at least mention. Yeah lets do shoe other foot for this Saturday morning, not gates Florida lets say he said touring the Trump administration. We need to
establish a commission to look at misinformation in the media, all those people screaming about free speech and the first amendment over the last four years. I have a feeling that ABC Cbs, NBC and particularly CNN, and its media team, probably would be covering this twenty four slash. Seven lets look at this proposal here, guys for a second rein in media, a Truth commission, the government regulating speech that belongs in China or it North Carolina, not North Carolina, North Korea or perhaps in the pages of nineteen. Eighty four and look lets say, for instance, Charles Barkley, who you were just talking about, Sir Charles. We all love him. As you said, very authentic, does the truth. Commission come after him pause hes wrong in terms of his opinion, thats. What Ms Ocasio Cortez is talking about. She said in the 60 minutes interview two years ago: it doesnt matter. If you are factually or is a man semantical correct its more about being morally right. If she is heading up the
commission, we would be in big trouble at one point. She said after she was elected PBS Margaret Hoover and Hoover asked. What do you think about the low unemployment? Do you give President trump any credit for that? This is precode. Obviously, she said well. The only reason why we have low unemployment is because everybody is working, two jobs which at last check is not how unemployment works. Would she then call herself before her own committee? I dont know how that is going to work. Guys will its amazing how quickly we are moving toward this dystopian stuff only found in novels truth commissions, rein in the media, deplatforming censorship happening in the real world very quickly. Let me get your response he to this story here. This is Hhs Secretary Azar going after CNN because of this Kyron right here saying he had resigned from the administration. Contrary to the CNN Kyron im still here serving the american people at the Hhs, I believe its my duty to ensure a smooth transition to the President Elect Bidens team
during the pandemic and will remain. As secretary through January, 20th CNN was trying to portray that Azar was disgusted with the inauguration. He couldnt wait four days until the inauguration. He has to make a statement. Obviously he put in resignation letter, but he is you staying on until January 20th, because at last check we are in the middle of a pandemic and good idea for somebody in his position to stay on and for him to leave obviously would be highly irresponsible and highly irresponsible, obviously for CNN to cover that story without double checking anyway. Guys got to do my NFL picks for this weekend. Obviously I went 3 0 last week. Will I dont know if you were tracking that I did very well in those picks today at 440 I have your LOS Angeles Rams: okay, a shocker in Green Bay. Will it is a shocker? I have them, perhaps not winning this game, but keeping it very close. If you know what I mean wink wink tomorrow on Fox 630 game, I believe im going with the Tampa Bay Bay Bucks
Cream Sickles Tom Brady is my Wifes Hall pass and therefore Laughter PETE, Joe Concha. We never ask you for your picks, but you give them to us. Anyway. We have come to love them. Hold you accountable. 5 0 hall passes by the way.
