Last night was unforgettable due to the exciting face-offs. On Fox News, Laura Ingraham challenged Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) fiercely regarding the Dignity Act, which is a significant amnesty initiative supported by our party. The Trump White House did not make a formal statement yesterday, but it ought to be ‘kill the bill.’
On NewsNation, meanwhile, host Chris Cuomo and Bill O’Reilly had a heated exchange, with Cuomo suggesting that O’Reilly could conclude the interview. They discussed Iran and the remarks made by Rafael Grossi, the director of the International Atomic Energy Agency, about the terror state’s uranium enrichment levels. Overton transcribed segments of the conversation.
CUOMO: “But they haven’t had any real monitoring in 5 years.”
O’REILLY: “No, but the director, Rafael Grossi on March 22nd of this year made it very clear that he believes the enrich uranium in Iran stands 60%.”
“So why would he say that? He would say—”
CUOMO: “Well, that’s not…that’s not exactly what he said.”
O’REILLY: “Alright, I got the quote right here.”
CUOMO: “Yeah, me too!”
“What’d you think, that I was just going to let you take it out of context like you did on your show last night? Not here.”
O’REILLY: “No, I didn’t take it out of context on my show.”
CUOMO: “Yeah you did!”
O’REILLY: “No! You said, quote, we didn’t know what the nuclear capabilities were. Grossi knows!”
CUOMO: “No, he doesn’t.”
O’REILLY: “Grossi knows! So, who’s we?!”
CUOMO: “No, he doesn’t. Here’s what he said. He said that they have 60% enriched uranium. Why? Because Iran says they were going to do it after what they said was Israel hitting one of their enrichment facilities…”
O’REILLY: “Alright, look, you can believe what you want to believe, but I’m believing his words.”
CUOMO: “NO, NO, NO, NO. No Bill! Just say, I’m corrected, let’s move on.”
O’REILLY: “I’m not going to say that because it wouldn’t be true.”
“YOU made the mistake and this is the quote.”
CUOMO: “No, I did not make a mistake!”
O’REILLY: “Alright, then KEEP QUIET for a second!”
CUOMO: “No! It’s my show pal!”
“If you don’t like it, you can go!”
O’REILLY: “You don’t want me to read a quote because it’s going to make you look foolish!”
That was classic O’Reilly. Iran has admitted that it possesses enough material to manufacture 11 nuclear bombs and is strengthening its military capabilities to threaten US forces in the region. Given that their war cry is “Death to America,” this rather vital piece of information is often overlooked in the threat assessments being promoted regarding Operation Epic Fury.
