On Friday’s “Megyn Kelly Show,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) stated that White House Chief Medical Adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci “survives because he’s being protected.” And he’s protected because he has “established himself, in the eyes of this administration, the Democratic Congress, and much of the mainstream media as someone who cannot be questioned,” and that the Biden administration hasn’t pushed on the origins of COVID because they view themselves as tied to Fauci and “they’re too far down that road to turn back and abandon him now.” Rubio stated, “How he remains in the post is pretty straightforward: And that is, […]
On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Varney & Co.,” House Minority Whip Rep.

Scalise said, “Stuart, he was presented with a plan — at least there are reports that say this — in October to ramp […]
On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Cavuto: Coast to Coast,” Rep. Ted Budd (R-NC) argued that part of the reason for the labor shortage is that there are “a certain amount of people that are very responsive to the fear that the Democrats have put out there” and in order to solve that problem, “We have to stop this fabricated series of crisis after crisis that the Democrats are doing and let people know that it’s safe to get out there to work.” Budd stated, [relevant remarks begin around 2:20] “[Y]ou’re seeing a major disconnect between the demand for […]
On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “All In,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) reacted to the 39-year high increase in the consumer price inflation index by arguing that part of the problem is “giant corporations who say, wow, a lot of talk about high prices and inflation, this is a chance to get in there and not only pass along costs, but to inflate prices beyond that and just engage in a little straightforward price gouging.” Warren said, “Now are high prices a problem? You bet they are. But there are a lot of different pieces that are going into this. Some of […]
On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “America Reports,” House Minority Whip Rep.

On Tuesday’s broadcast of “Fox Business Tonight,” Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) said that Democrats know that unless they pass voting legislation, they’ll get soundly defeated in the 2022 elections, “and that’s the reason they’re spending all this time on this voting rights and the filibuster and not taking care of all the things they’ve screwed up, the virus, the border, inflation, government spending. We haven’t spent any time on that.” Tuberville said, “[T]hey want to take 50 votes, pass everything they possibly can.

On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich (R) said that the Biden administration’s logic in defending the vaccine mandate is that they “can literally threaten every single person’s livelihood in this country if they don’t kowtow to the dictates of the federal government.” Brnovich also said that under the guise of health, “are they going to tell contractors their employees can’t eat Chicago deep dish pizza, are they going to tell you how much caffeine or soda you can drink every morning?” Brnovich said, “As we as citizens, as we as representatives of […]
On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends First,” Rep.

On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Evening Edit,” Rep.

On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends First,” Rep.

On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Kudlow,” Rep.

And, according to the […]

On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) stated that the Biden administration failed to properly handle coronavirus testing “Because they only wanted to talk about vaccines.” Scalise said President Biden uses “science where it benefits him” and ignores it “where he could be helping people, but it doesn’t fit his narrative. He’s had a vaccine-only strategy, and that’s been at the detriment of millions of people who could be benefiting from so many other things. There [are] a lot of reports out that show that he massively dropped the ball with testing. Back […]

On Friday’s “PBS NewsHour,” New York Times columnist David Brooks stated that Democrats “were right to try to be FDR, try to do something big” with the Build Back Better reconciliation bill. Brooks said that if the new inflation numbers in January show an increase in inflation, that will make passing the bill far more difficult. “Because Joe Manchin’s really concerned about inflation and federal spending boosting that.

On Monday’s “Hugh Hewitt Show,” House Homeland Security Committee Ranking Member John Katko (R-NY) said that if Republicans control the House and Senate after the 2022 midterm elections, Republicans will “force the president to eat” some Trump-era immigration policies if he wants to avoid shutdowns.

On Friday’s “PBS NewsHour,” New York Times columnist David Brooks argued that we have “an overheating economy” but President Joe Biden isn’t to blame for inflation. Brooks said, “I don’t think he’s to blame for the inflation rates. I think that’s mostly the supply chain issues and other things, and the fact that we have a booming economy. So, we’re in an overheating economy. And you could make the argument that we shouldn’t have passed that infrastructure bill, but that is not affecting the economy right now. It’s too soon. And so you can make the argument we shouldn’t be spending more money […]
On Friday’s “CNN Tonight,” economist Larry Summers stated that while he supports the Build Back Better reconciliation bill, runs “incremental deficits for the first few years. That’s not the right thing to be doing and we should scale that back.” And the best way to handle that is to get rid of reinstating deductions for state and local taxes, which he said is a tax cut for the rich.

Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) argued that if there’s a positive from the Omicron variant, it’s that it “created a level of fear that in the long run’s going to be good for the economy and good for the health of Americans.

If you are out […]

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher said it’s “disingenuous” to say parents in Virginia who are worried about Critical Race Theory in schools don’t want black history taught, and parents are objecting to things like “separating children by race and describing them as either oppressed or oppressor.” Professor and author Michael Eric Dyson argued, “[P]arents who were spooked by Critical Race Theory, none of whom can define it, when you ask them what it is, they don’t know.

This is a mic drop applause line with teachers, not so much with parents.” Maher stated, “Terry McAuliffe, he was the governor, he’s running again. He should walk away with it. Biden won the state by ten points. It […]

Again, that’s very regional. It’s — what is happening in Europe, natural gas prices are not the global market that oil prices are. So, in the U.S., our natural gas supplies are okay.

[…]
On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK) weighed in on NBA player Enes Kanter’s denunciations of China by saying that the Chinese Communist Party wants to stifle free speech in America, and business leaders have to “reject kowtow capitalism” so that doesn’t happen.
