Charlie Kirk: Alex Jones Verdict ‘Abhorrent’

“‘Charlie, just don’t waste your time. Alex Jones is a nut. Just don’t worry about it’. And maybe a couple of years ago, I might have stayed away from it.”

InfoWars founder Alex Jones was ordered to pay nearly $1 billion in damages to families whose children were murdered during the Sandy Hook massacre nearly a decade ago, and conservative radio host Charlie Kirk called the judgement “abhorrent”.

Kirk explained he was trending on Twitter after the judgement because of his history of defending Jones.

“Understand I tweeted out about this yesterday about the injustice of someone having to pay a billion dollars for having a wrong opinion or perspective about something,” The Charlie Kirk Show host said. “And I had a lot of people texting me and a lot of people messaging me saying ‘Charlie, lay off the Alex Jones topic. Just stay away from it’. And even today people saying ‘Charlie, just don’t waste your time. Alex Jones is a nut. Just don’t worry about it’. And maybe a couple of years ago, I might have stayed away from it.”

“Let me be very clear: I disagree with Alex Jones on plenty of things. I agree with Alex Jones on somethings,” Kirk continued. “There are plenty of things through the years that Alex Jones could have done differently. Clearly, the Sandy Hook thing was not right. He admits that. He admits it, he said he made a mistake in the Sandy Hook situation. I didn’t like what he did there. A lot of people didn’t like it. So does that mean you can crush someone and bankrupt them and demand a $1 billion judgement?”

Kirk then admitted he wish he had spoken out about Alex Jones being removed from digital platforms after his insistence that the Sandy Hook massacre was a false flag, calling it a “mistake” and “that was setting the groundwork” to be able for entities to collude to remove conservative voices.

Nick Kayal: More People Listen to 1210 WPHT Than Watch CNN on Weekends

“When the bar is so low, you can’t go anywhere but up from there, I would think, but then again, I didn’t think they would get this low.”

CNN had one of its worst ratings weekends of all time recently, and 1210 WPHT morning host Nick Kayal showcased just how bad the outcome was for the cable channel.

During Kayal and Company Thursday, the news/talk host noted that an average of 55,000 viewers in the 25-54 demographic tuned into CNN on a recent weekend.

“I’m convinced that Matt Rooney and anybody else who does a weekend show here on 1210 can amass 55,000 listeners,” Kayal said before Program Director Greg Stocker noted that is factual information.

“When the bar is so low, you can’t go anywhere but up from there, I would think, but then again, I didn’t think they would get this low,” continued Kayal. “So who knows that could be 47,000 in the next month or something.”

Kayal then turned his attention to Anderson Cooper’s new Sunday program, and asked listeners what they would get out of viewing the program.

“What do you gain out of watching Anderson Cooper? when you sit down and watch that show, is he entertaining? Does he have any energy? No. Does he look like he had blood drained from his body? Yes. He is low energy,” Nick Kayal concluded. “He is the most uninteresting man on television on that network. And that’s saying something because there’s nobody that’s interesting on that network.”

Glenn Beck: Russell Brand is the UK’s Howard Stern

“You knew exactly what you were getting in those days with Russell Brand, ok? Just think Howard Stern.”

Comedian Russell Brand has been accused of rape and sexual misconduct by four women, which led to his popular YouTube channel being demonetized. Glenn Beck shared his belief that Russell Brand is akin to Howard Stern.

While discussing the situation on The Glenn Beck Program, the nationally syndicated radio host argued that the similarities between Brand and Stern are striking.

“Russell Brand is kind of like they’re Howard Stern,” Beck said. “You knew exactly what you were getting in those days with Russell Brand, ok? Just think Howard Stern.”

Beck then read a portion of a report from the BBC claiming that Brand was the face of the “seedier side of pop media culture” in the 2000s.

“Could I just ask the BBC to turn on the radio and listen to the lyrics of songs they’re now playing? Because I guarantee there’s something playing on the BBC about somebody’s butt doing something,” said Beck.

Glenn Beck then used a specific example that equated Brand with Stern.

“In a Brand interview with Jimmy Savile, he apparently offered up his very attractive assistant to go meet him naked. Sounds like Howard Stern, right? This is in 2007. He said this to the BBC host. Another BBC host said ’You go ahead and take my assistant here she Oh, she’ll get naked’. Ha. Funny,” joked Beck before noting that at the time, no one knew Savile was a serial child predator.

Rudy Giuliani Denies January 6th Groping Allegations

“First of all, I’m not gonna grope somebody at all, and number two, in front of like a hundred people? Plus, that day, I had extra security and I had my entire staff around me virtually all day…”

77 WABC host Rudy Giuliani has denied allegations made by former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson that she was groped by the radio host and attorney during the January 6th Insurrection.

In an excerpt from her new book, Hutchinson — who was viewed as a star witness during the January 6th Committee hearings last year — claimed Giuliani viewed her like “a wolf closing in on its prey” before he put his hand up her skirt.

“I feel his frozen fingers trail up my thigh,” Hutchinson wrote. “He tilts his chin up. The whites of his eyes look jaundiced. My eyes dart to John Eastman, who flashes a leering grin.”

During an interview on Newsmax’s Eric Bolling The Balance, Rudy Giuliani strongly denied the accusation. He interrupted Bolling before the host could finish his line of questioning.

“She claims that I groped her in a tent on January 6, where all the people went in that were very, very cold as a result of the president’s speech, etcetera. I’m gonna grope somebody? With a hundred people? First of all, I’m not gonna grope somebody at all, and number two, in front of like a hundred people? Plus, that day, I had extra security and I had my entire staff around me virtually all day because I took them to the speech as kind of a reward for all the work they did,” Giuliani argued after calling the accusation “totally absurd” and “completely, absolutely false”.

“So I brought 10 people to the speech and they were with me virtually at every moment that I was there, and if I wasn’t talking to them, I was taking pictures with people. So there would have been no occasion for this to happen. It’s completely absurd, it’s as crazy as her statement that the President jumped over the seat and took over the car.”

The accusation against Rudy Giuliani comes after he was sued earlier this year by a former employee. Noelle Dunphy alleged that Giuliani raped and sexually abused her during her tenure working for the former New York Mayor. She launched a lawsuit in May claiming she was owed $2 million by the radio host and was required to work naked. Additionally, she alleged Giuliani made racist, sexist, and anti-Semitic remarks in her presence, and also peddled Presidential pardons in exchange for payments.
