Appearing on Fox Business Network’s Varney & Company Friday morning, Media Research Center President Brent Bozell called out the Marxist left running the Democratic Party and demanded that the media “tell the damn truth” about how extreme it had become. He specifically pointed to the radical defund the police movement and how much political damage it was inflicting on Democrats.
“Alright, now this, the latest national poll shows President Biden’s approval rating sinking to new lows. It now stands at just 38%,” fill-in host Ashley Webster reported at the top of the segment. Bozell explained that “the wheels are coming off” the Biden presidency and declared:
But it’s not just on his policies, it’s on policies of the left, you know, talking about defunding the police is a key here. And I’m going to be very blunt in what I’m going to say. This is no longer a battle between Republicans and Democrats. This is no longer between conservatives and liberals. This is between the forces in America that want America destroyed and the forces that want it saved.
After listing Marxist movements like Black Lives Matter, Antifa, Critical Race Theory, and defund the police, Bozell advised:
Now, so here’s my message to the Republican Party. If you want to win every election imaginable, wrap yourself around funding the police. My message to the Democrats, if you are Joe six-pack, blue collar Democrat, the party of Joe Lieberman, if you want to regain your party...you denounce this movement, you denounce the leadership and Joe Biden.
“And the media...we have to castigate the news media for being silent on this,” Bozell added. He singled out news outlets for not doing their jobs: “It is up to the ABCs, the NBCs, The Washington Post, The New York Times. Tell the damn truth about what’s happening in this country....Just tell the truth. Let the chips fall where they may.”
Webster replied with an “Amen.”
Here is a full transcript of the October 8 segment:
10:53 AM ET
ASHLEY WEBSTER: Alright, now this, the latest national poll shows President Biden’s approval rating sinking to new lows. It now stands at just 38%. Brent Bozell, MRC President, joins me now. Brent, good morning.
BRENT BOZELL: Good morning.
WEBSTER: This is, obviously, not good news for the President. Are you surprised or not?
BOZELL: No, no, the wheels are coming off. But it’s not just on his policies, it’s on policies of the left, you know, talking about defunding the police is a key here. And I’m going to be very blunt in what I’m going to say. This is no longer a battle between Republicans and Democrats. This is no longer between conservatives and liberals. This is between the forces in America that want America destroyed and the forces that want it saved.
If you look at what’s funneling the left today, it’s Black Lives Matter, a Marxist organization, it’s Antifa, an anarchist organization. It is a Congress with Pelosi, with Schumer defending Marxist organizations and Joe Biden going along with everything.
Now, here’s the key, Ashley. Remember the number 80 – 80% of Americans, a full 80% of Americans, support funding police. They are seeing the consequences of CRT, of the 1619 Project, and now the defunding of the police. They’re seeing the chaos all over America. They’re seeing gun fire on the streets. We knew this was going to happen. They’re seeing this country crumbling.
Now, so here’s my message to the Republican Party. If you want to win every election imaginable, wrap yourself around funding the police. My message to the Democrats, if you are Joe six-pack, blue collar Democrat, the party of Joe Lieberman, if you want to regain your party – excuse me – you denounce this movement, you denounce the leadership and Joe Biden. If you’re Joe Biden, and this gets back to the beginning of this conversation, you want to regain your numbers, you want to regain the support of America, you have got to denounce this movement.
WEBSTER: You do. And, Brent, you’ve talked about defunding the police and, you know, now, of course, the Democrats are trying to say, no, no, no, it was the Republicans. But of course, we have the tape that proves it isn’t. But I mean, it’s ridiculous. They’ve done this, they’ve blamed Trump for the border, they blamed the previous administration for everything, when, clearly, it’s a bald-faced lie.
BOZELL: Yeah. And the media, I – we have to castigate the news media for being silent on this. It is up to the ABCs, the NBCs, The Washington Post, The New York Times. Tell the damn truth about what’s happening in this country. Explain to the American people who’s doing it and who’s not doing it.
WEBSTER: Amen.
BOZELL: Just tell the truth. Let the chips fall where they may. And I guarantee you, the Republicans will win in an absolute landslide.
WEBSTER: Great place to leave it. Brent Bozell, great stuff as always.
BOZELL: Thank you, Ashley.
WEBSTER: Thanks you, Brent, for joining us, much appreciated.
