and the rest of the Democrats, and they said, is there anything else?
Ladies and gentlemen, what else do you need?
Is there a magic number in the scandalobber that would make you stop?
Would it have to do with Nazis or putting upon women, perhaps underage women, but definitely women not your wife of two years?
Would it be that you're lying about, that you're insulting heroes, that you're not, he's not even fit to lick their combat boots?
So I'd ask the Democrats, is power really worth that to you?
Because power for power's sake is the definition of corruption.
Oh my gosh. Thank you, Mark. I'm so excited to join you. Congratulations on this new show. And this is one of my favorite topics, but I feel like I've been living it with you in real time for like over a year and a half, two years now. Yeah.
So I've known Jake Tapper since I was a little girl. He worked on my dad's first or he covered my dad's first campaign when he was a salon reporter to just like really date in 1999, 2000. So I have been around him a really long time. And I used to really think he was a straightforward journalist.
And then in the past, I think beginning of Trump era, maybe even a little bit before that, I just really put him in the basket of being a really biased, quite frankly, hack journalist that my conservative friends not only wouldn't trust, but felt like he would intentionally go out of the way to paint a negative picture of conservatives.
It's hard, as you know, when you like know people in this industry and you want to maintain friendships. But he's one of those people where for me, it took a point where I was like, I just can't really have a relationship. of any kind with this person, just because I don't feel like any of it is genuine or altruistic.
And also, I don't like being a source for people that I'm not genuinely close with and feel like there's trust there. So when I found out he was writing this book, I really like Alex Thompson. I had interviewed Alex Thompson several times when he came out about his reporting about Joe Biden.
When right before the debate and when everyone started really realizing how bad it was and I was really looking forward to Alex Thompson's book and I when I saw that Jake Tapper was involved or had written it or whatever is the co-writer. I literally I jokingly told my friend it's like O.J.
Simpson's If I Did It book like I thought it was ridiculous and just quite frankly I think it's like journalistic malfeasance. And he's kind of, you know, dancing a little bit right now, saying that he should have had more humility in his reporting and that he should have, you know, known better.
But there's hundreds, if not thousands of reporters who did cover the story the right way, including you. And there's millions and millions of Americans who saw what he was unable to see. And, you know, there's a video of him with Laura Trump, who I'm very friendly with, and she's a really lovely person, where he's just ripping her head off.
talking about when she's bringing up Biden's cognitive decline. And he's basically saying that she's bigoted towards people with disabilities because President Biden has a stutter. And every few months, that video goes viral again. And I just think he's completely the wrong person to be doing this. I'm sure he got a big fat paycheck. I'm sure he got a million dollars.
And I'm just really, I feel like actually like physically grossed out at the idea that he's benefiting off of what you and I and so many other people were called ghouls, called, you know, really ugly names and things for a long time for calling out what we all could see was Biden's clear decline.
I don't understand any of it. I also don't understand what the publisher's reasoning was. I have heard through just like gossip and media circles that the publisher thought that Alex Thompson wasn't like a big enough name to sell this book. I disagree. I think he would have been more than big enough, just the content of the book.
A hundred percent. And I would buy it if it were just his book. And I would be like happy to interview him because I do think, you know, he just won an award about his reporting. And I don't put him in the same category. But I do think, unfortunately for Alex, like this is tainting his career. I don't I just I don't I used to really appreciate CNN.
And I still candidly have friends who work at CNN. Like I'm friends with Essie Cup and she's fantastic. You know, wonderful and I think very smart and very like a straight shooter in her commentary. But CNN became such resistance porn the past few years and their ratings reflected that.
