MSNBC Yanks "Morning Joe" Off the Air, Out of Fear He'll Say Something That Could Discredit the Already-Disgusting Propaganda/Assassination Porn Channel

Sean Spicer
@seanspicer

WOW

@NBCNews @MSNBC yanked Morning Joe off the air this morning over concerns its hosts would go off the rails - this may be the first sane programming decision made at MSNBC in Decades

There is no other way to read this besides the obvious: MSNBC cannot trust Murdering Joe and his homewerecking whore of a wife and their daily panel of Trump deranged criminals to not delight in the assassination attempt and complain only that his aim wasn't better.

Admission of guilt? MSNBC yanks Morning Joe off the air following Trump assassination attempt

Quick Hit:

MSNBC's "Morning Joe" was pulled from the air on Monday in the wake of the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. The show, hosted by Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, will resume on Tuesday despite the start of the Republican National Convention.

Key Details:

"Morning Joe" was pulled to prevent guests from making inappropriate comments that could reflect poorly on the network, according to a source familiar with the decision who spoke with CNN.

NBC News, NBC News NOW, and MSNBC have been in rolling breaking news coverage since the incident occurred.

I think the point of that is that MSNBC and NBC don't want to break for commentary, because the comments will be of a nature that could get NBC's broadcast license revoked.

The decision to pull the show was made by NBCUniversal News Group Chairman Cesar Conde, MSNBC President Rashida Jones, and the show's hosts.

Diving Deeper:

According to a report by CNN, MSNBC made the decision to pull its left-leaning talk show "Morning Joe" from the air on Monday following the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The progressive show, hosted by Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, will not air Monday morning but will resume on Tuesday, despite the start of the Republican National Convention.

A source familiar with the matter told CNN that the show was pulled to avoid any potential inappropriate comments from its numerous guests that could tarnish the show and the network's reputation. "Given the gravity and complexity of this unfolding story, NBC News, NBC News NOW, and MSNBC have remained in rolling breaking news coverage since Saturday evening," an NBCUniversal spokesperson told CNN.

Cesar Conde, Chairman of NBCUniversal News Group, along with MSNBC President Rashida Jones and the show's hosts Scarborough and Brzezinski, made the joint decision to pull the show on Monday morning, the source revealed.

Whenever they fire someone, they get together to agree on a joint statement that the decision was agreed to by all parties. I don't believe that Scarborough and Mika the Home-Wrecker agreed to this, except to the extent that when your employer gives you an order, you "agree" to it.

...

[M]any Republicans have blamed Democrats' harsh rhetoric about Trump for inciting the violence. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), who himself was critically injured in a shooting during a Republican congressional baseball team practice in 2017, criticized Democrat leaders for what he described as "fueling ludicrous hysteria." "For weeks Democrat leaders have been fueling ludicrous hysteria that Donald Trump winning re-election would be the end of democracy in America," Scalise said in a statement. "Clearly we've seen far-left lunatics act on violent rhetoric in the past. This incendiary rhetoric must stop."


The left is totally against political violence, you guys:

Note:
I think it was a band member, not Jack Black. Black was singing Happy Birthday to a band member, and that band member said his wish was for the next assassin not to miss.

But I didn't hear Jack Black contradict it. Who knows, maybe in a longer clip he does.

Must be nice to know you have full freedom of speech and feel you can call for people's murder knowing you will face zero consequences!

Update: The man who wished for the next assassin to hit was Kyle Glass -- the co-founder of Tenacious D, half of Tenacious D, not just a "band member" at all.

3 I just adore watching Dems squirm over this.

They spent a decade telling us Trump was Hitler2.0. Then, after he gets shot, they want to express their well-wishes on his recovery? So either they're hoping Hitler2.0 makes a full recovery or Trump really isn't Hitler2.0.

He has since deleted the Tweet.

31 Recall that the left absolutely hates, hates, hates to lose. Perhaps more than they hate us. There will be retribution violence explained away by the right's own (fake) violence perpetrated on the peaceful left.

Or simply "we had to attack them before they attacked us."

OT but it was mentioned in the last thread that The View has not been renewed. Unfortunately, I'm not finding any reporting to verify this. It does, however, seem that a rumor went around a few months back about Goldberg and Behar getting fired which was untrue.

Anyway, looks like The View will continue to air and poison American discourse for the foreseeable future.

67 Some of the more dimly aware leftists seem to be of the opinion (they claim) that while they hate DJT with every fiber of their being, they don't condone violence or want him to be killed.

I'm not sure on the percentages that I monitor on the lefty boards. Roughly half seem to be cool with killing anybody they don't like. Or roughly half seem to be willing to admit it. Plenty of people willing to publicly wish the would-be assassin had better aim.

I noticed a post on X where someone confronted a Home Depot checkout clerk, a butterball blob, on her public pronouncements wishing that Mr. Trump was killed at the rally. She looked a bit uncomfortable, murmuring "I'm at work", and then getting on the phone to call her supervisor. Ha!

I'm not condoning violence either, but things have a way of spiraling out of control. This is why incendiary rhetoric is so wicked. People are increasingly unable to make distinctions between "online" and "reality". I predict a lot of ugliness, and soon, unfortunately. The mockingbird media is just following orders I get that much, but they own this shit. Hope they are happy in their million dollar mansions. Thanks a lot

Listen to the crowd laughing and clapping at the "joke." I'd expect deranged never-was slobs to make stupid jokes. But the crowd reacts like it's the funniest shit the guy's ever said.

And you know what? I'm pretty close to a free-speech absolutist and think comedy should be edgy and sometimes uncomfortable. So in theory, I don't really have an issue with a joke like that. But I do as a practical matter, because if a conservative said it about a Democrap surviving an assassination attempt, the SS would be arresting them within 15 minutes.

And you know what? I'm pretty close to a free-speech absolutist and think comedy should be edgy and sometimes uncomfortable. So in theory, I don't really have an issue with a joke like that. But I do as a practical matter, because if a conservative said it about a Democrap surviving an assassination attempt, the SS would be arresting them within 15 minutes.

To stay home because of a VP choice is ridiculous.

VP doesn't necessarily mean he will be the nominee in 2028. If it's someone we don't like we will vote for a different Republican candidate during the primaries.
Posted by: redridinghood at July 15, 2024 01:19 PM (NpAcC)

I respectfully disagree. The 2028 VP pick is more important than usual, as we're looking at a post-Trump environment then, and MAGA needs to be more than just DJT. That VP would be expected to carry the mantle, and we can't leave that to a GOPer to handle. For example, if Pence didn't shiv Trump in 2021, he would have been the presumptive pick in 2024. VPs of successful presidents generally get the nod the next time. Biden was an exception, not a rule.

Everything is so "kumbaya" it's making me ill. Now Dear Leader is giving a "unity" speech at the convention. His version probably means unifying all the Democrats in a pen and shooting them.

It's pretty absurd, isn't it? The network is nervous, but I think they'll have to go back to old programming as their ratings slip away. I can't watch this all day while everything else is ignored. No Nicole? Melber? Maddow? No Joy, Lawrence?

This is a weak attempt by MSNBC to rehabilitate their image with the viewers who have left in droves the last two weeks. Their incessant commentary to undermine Joe Biden's viability as the Democratic candidate has forever tainted the network. The majority of the hosts undercut their credibility with the viewers by jumping onto the Joe Biden must be replaced train.

UBC is apparently investigating her because of her social media post, according to another article at CTV News.

Why do I get the feeling that investigation will be slow-walked for a couple of weeks, and privately she'll receive an "Attagirl" from fellow lefties, while officially the University will say they're censuring her. Net effect: Nothing. And any official record of the censure will disappear from her file in a year or so when nobody's watching.

The 49-year-old School of Rock star, who was the latest inductee into the Walk of Fame, told fans: “If you get one of those stars that means you’ve made it.”...

He then told the crowd he loved them before adding: “Except for Donald Trump. He’s a piece of s***!”

Many of you know my friend, Salena Zito. She's an excellent reporter who writes with great affection about rural America. On Saturday, she was four feet from Donald Trump when the shooting started. That's her on the ground, beneath a campaign staffer determined to protect her. Her account is here, and worth a read, if you value an eyewitness report from an actual journalist. bit.ly/463gdLn Salena is still in shock, but had the presence of mind to document what she saw on a day that will be discussed for many days to come. I'm proud of her, and glad she's okay.
I have some other thoughts, too, but think I'll wait a bit to share them publicly. In general, I think it's fair to say that Donald Trump was not the only one who dodged a bullet yesterday. I think America did, as well. As with so many other moments in history, this one came down to a centimeter or two. Truly chilling to imagine the reaction, had that bullet found its intended target.

240 So, things are becoming clearer - one of the reasons why the SS was understaffed at the Trump rally was that DOCTOR Jill Biden was in Pittsburgh the same day, and they moved people from the Trump rally to the DOCTOR Jill event.

Also, most of the normal detail guarding Trump was given the day off, since they were exhausted from working seven-day weeks. Left unexplained is why that detail was understaffed in the first place.

The interesting question is: not only was a roof within easy rifle range of Trump left unguarded, but how did the shooter know that the rooftop would be unguarded?

People were reporting the shooter on the roof to the cops and SS for a couple of minutes prior to the shooting, and the SS let Trump stay at the podium.

This is increasingly looking deliberate - Trump was supposed to be killed.

263 Jack Black had exactly one funny movie: School of Rock. He was on point in that movie. It also helped that the movie was well-written, kinda clever, and I like the subject matter. But that it is.

He is also a good voice actor (Kung Fu Panda).

But everything else is putrid Satanic smegma. Tenacious D? Are you fucking kidding me? I forced myself to watch that movie. It was like sitting through Satan fucking me in the mouth -- which was basically the last 20% of the movie, where Satan inexplicably keeps threatening that fat fuck Kyle Gass with oral and anal rape. I needed to take a shower after.

So far it's

The SS was aware of the roof and acknowledged that it was a high priority risk

The SS ignored the roof

Cops and SS were informed of shooter on roof

Cop climbed ladder and investigated shooter on roof, changed his mind and left after shooter pointed rifle at him

Snipers had permission to fire at shooter, chose not to for personal reasons

Secret Service is blaming local cops for shooter's John Wick level skill at climbing a roof on a site that was a high priority risk they ignored

The guy was antifa

The guy was groomed by someone online named "SCVMLORD"

DOCTOR Jill Biden was in Pittsburgh the same day, and they moved people from the Trump rally to the DOCTOR Jill event.

Also, most of the normal detail guarding Trump was given the day off, since they were exhausted from working seven-day weeks. Left unexplained is why that detail was understaffed in the first place.

That is not a man who is beaten or frightened. That is a man who makes other man want to follow him. It is a literal portrait of an Alpha in action, as Body Language Ghost commented in her analysis of the event.

There's no fear mentality there. He's just like, ‘Hey, wait wait wait! I'm going to get my shoes on, I'm going to give a fist pump, and then I'm gonna tell them to fight fight fight!’ I stick my arm out, cuz you know, there's not enough of me sticking out where I can be shot. I'm not going to hide my head, that's just loser mentality. Man, that is not loser mentality! Right there, that's Alpha!

Listen to how the crowd roars in response to his gesture. In a flash, they go from being terrified to being ready to go into battle for him. Only seconds after diving for cover, they’re back on their feet chanting “USA! USA!”

And that is why Alphas matter. That is Alphas make the difference between success and failure. It’s far less about what they can do, than what they can inspire others to do in response.

323 I have a question:

One of the articles on the Morning thread mentioned that the FBI says it identified the shooter, who they say carried no ID, using DNA. That article was from Sunday, while the shooting was Saturday evening.

So a DNA identification was done within about 24 hours? Is that even possible?

It was the same situation with the Xmas2020 "bomber" in Nashville.

Maybe it's possible to get a sample and run a test within that time, if you have your own lab (which I presume law enforcement DOES), but to identify somebody you need to compare that DNA to the DNA of other people, right?

You would need to somehow get a DNA sample of the person you THINK the shooter was (from his home, for example), but you would need to have an idea of who he was first, to do even THAT, and it would take time.

If you only have the DNA of the shooter's relatives, you wouldn't necessarily be able to pin it down to an exact individual.

The only way I can think of how it could work, is if the shooter had done a DNA test (AncestryDNA, for example), and law enforcement was able to access the database of whatever company he did it with.

OR, maybe they're just lying to us.

So arguing with your gay male hooker over payment is political violence now? OK.

These people are really disgusting, and even including Scalise in this is pretty low considering all the sarcastic condolences various Dem staffers sent to his office, and the offices of the others present. Pelosi's staff in particular

Again, in case anyone forgets: during the Kavanaugh hearings Dem staffers illegally accessed workstations in other legislators' offices, got contact info for GOP legislators' families, and then proceeded to send them cartel execution videos for *hours* right in the middle of the hearings.

These people are fucking disgusting and as heartening as it is to see our odds in 2024, ultimately this is all just fiddling with the order of battle before shit kicks off. I don't believe that what is coming can be avoided. Take a lesson from a fundamental infantry concept - always be improving your position.

386 It's pretty obvious Team POTATUS is using this to elevate his stature amid all the calls for him to drop out, right down to the use of an Oval Office speech where he cherry picked a list of "political" violence that included Giffords (nutjob) and Pelosi (gay sex hooker gone wrong) and ignored Kavanaugh. Any such list would have to include Rand Paul, who was shot at on the baseball field, hospitalized by his left wing neighbor (much to the delight of the press), and was assaulted at the RNC in 2020 with no consequence. Biden is trying to be all "presidential" and a unifier, while still campaigning from the Oval by bringing up both sides crap and J6.

423 Something I don't think I have seen anyone note:

There were cops and SWAT (the counter assault team USSS guys were all in black IIRC, so multicam would have been local SWAT) visible in several vidsos where people are screaming about the dude on the roof.

Any one of them could have just potted the guy, having the same potential line of sight to him as any of the people filming on the ground screaming about him.

This is actually a good argument for red dots on pistols, a 9mm with a dot could have made that shot fairly easily as long as the dude wasn't shooting back at you.

427 @352

>>I don't buy most of the reasoning, especially around Youngkin.

Trump needs VA to win, he doesn't need OH or SD to win, so picking Youngkin is the strategically sound move, just like picking Pence was the strategically sound move in 2016.

I think the shooting has changed the calculus a bit and I think Trump can win VA without Youngkin, picking Scott would signal he wants to try for a landslide.

Picking Vance takes a useful Senator out of the Senate, no doubt to be replaced by some DeWine type GOPe mother f**ker.

Ultimately, whoever he picks will be the heir apparent to the MAGA Movement, let's hope they are up to task, they got some big shoes to fill.

Just depends on how popular Trump is at the time. Right now, if I wanted to be President, then I'd rather start as the VP than not. That may not have been the case a couple months ago.

454 So far it's

The SS was aware of the roof and acknowledged that it was a high priority risk

The SS ignored the roof

Cops and SS were informed of shooter on roof

Cop climbed ladder and investigated shooter on roof, changed his mind and left after shooter pointed rifle at him

Snipers had permission to fire at shooter, chose not to for personal reasons

Secret Service is blaming local cops for shooter's John Wick level skill at climbing a roof on a site that was a high priority risk they ignored

The guy was antifa

The guy was groomed by someone online named "SCVMLORD"

DOCTOR Jill Biden was in Pittsburgh the same day, and they moved people from the Trump rally to the DOCTOR Jill event.

Also, most of the normal detail guarding Trump was given the day off, since they were exhausted from working seven-day weeks. Left unexplained is why that detail was understaffed in the first place.

Despite what ABC or CNN or MSNBC legal dipshits say - the fact that a federal district court just found that Smith was not a Constitutionally appointed federal officer essentially means, yeah, he's not - unless he can prove otherwise in other federal districts. That is his next challenge - good luck with that.

461 The only way I can think of how it could work, is if the shooter had done a DNA test (AncestryDNA, for example), and law enforcement was able to access the database of whatever company he did it with.

OR, maybe they're just lying to us.
Posted by: MrExcitement at July 15, 2024 01:44 PM (hOOi9)


I would have thought they did it through prints. The chances that he had to be printed and a background done to work in a care home is pretty high. Here they do it with daycare workers and YMCA staff.
He may have had some DNA taken for an arrest, or 43andMe by a relative, but I would have guessed fingerprints

466 427 Trump needs VA to win, he doesn't need OH or SD to win, so picking Youngkin is the strategically sound move, just like picking Pence was the strategically sound move in 2016.

I think the shooting has changed the calculus a bit and I think Trump can win VA without Youngkin, picking Scott would signal he wants to try for a landslide.

Picking Vance takes a useful Senator out of the Senate, no doubt to be replaced by some DeWine type GOPe mother f**ker.

Ultimately, whoever he picks will be the heir apparent to the MAGA Movement, let's hope they are up to task, they got some big shoes to fill.

Except that no presidential pick of a VP has ever, over the past...20-30 years, considered the VP helping to win the home state. Cheney from WY. Pence from IN. Kamala from CA. Hell, Kaine was from VA, and Hillary go only 10,000 more votes than Obama in 2012.

That's obviously not how presidential campaigns look at VP picks, and I find it weird how it's constantly part of how people comment on VP picks.

I got that right?
Posted by: Cat Ass Trophy

Nope.
The "anti-fascist" shit stain most likely scouted the site first in some way.
Then he went there with his father's AR15 that he had been practicing with at the local range.
Said range went up to 171 meters.
His shooting position may have obscured him from one sniper, but it did not obscure him from all of them.
It doesn't help that the "security team" consisted of DHS officers filling in for SS agents.
Butler PD may have failed to secure the building as instructed, but that is TBD.
Do I think the WH regime valued Joe'/Jill's safety far more than Trump's?

I really think it's going to be Scott now, although I don't think Youngkin is out of the question either.
Posted by: Thomas Bender at July 15, 2024 02:00 PM (z/ebR)

========

VP picks are about internal party unity at the highest of levels. Pence was about pleasing the GOPe, trying to get them on board. It was a gamble that failed.

Scott would probably be fine and fit the model more accurately than Youngkin, I think, though Scott is far from a perfect candidate and didn't last long in the primary for a reason.

Remember that he ran for POTUS last year?

A number of cops with rifles are visible in the numerous vidos from ground-level pre shooting.

The guy who got boosted up and ran into the shooter could in theory have helped a lot by just popping off some random rounds but it sounds like the time between spotting him and the shooting starting was like 10-ish seconds anyways.

The big local failure here other than perimeter/roof and any potential inside threat stuff is that all of these dudes can be seen milling around at ground level while people scream about the shooter, and most of them did NOTHING.

And the current framing of people who disagree with you as actually being evil, well, wouldn't the moral choice be to destroy someone before they can do evil?

So they see themselves as the heroes of the narrative, instead of the deceived, indoctrinated pawns of evil that they have become.

"Many men wish death on me
Blood in my eye dog and I can't see
I'm just trying to be what I'm destined to be
And n*****s trying to take my life away"

"Now these pussy n*****s putting money on my head
Go on and get your refund motherfucker I ain't dead"

50 has also been shot and survived.

Had Gore's VP been say Sen Bob Graham from Florida, he would have won the Presidency.

It's just relatively rare a single state decides the Presidency. Usually all the swing states go in a certain direction.

Also, I think people dont care as much about the "home town" guy being a VP. But in a state that comes down to 1%, it can matter.

I am near certain someone got on the radio. The counter sniper team to PDT's right was on their glass trying to spot the guy well before the shots - but there likely were trees and poles in the way.

The team that got him was way off to PDT's left and by several accounts had to reposition 180 degrees to get him, so that would not have initially been their sector to cover.

And how would he know the perimeter? He was pretty confident he'd be able to just walk up and get on the roof without even trying to hide. Looks to me like he knew he'd have space and time to work even when he could hear onlookers yelling and pointing him out.

The one vantage point was the place he went to and it just so happened to not be guarded at all. All the reports say this point not being guarded is way outside procedure, especially with it being the only place for a rifle shot to get a chance.

680 664 "I will give him a pass because it was more important for him to get a report in to central to get the teams responding than to take a disadvantageous shot. The fact that virtually no response was generated until shots were fired is criminal. This is literally their one job.

Any shot, even one in the air, would’ve been better than nothing. This is proved by the actual series of events as we know them.

682 I am near certain someone got on the radio. The counter sniper team to PDT's right was on their glass trying to spot the guy well before the shots - but there likely were trees and poles in the way.

Don't see how - the shooter was using virtually the same angle and they were even higher. I don't know why they did not shoot him before he shot. Again, this is what they are supposed to DO.

684 He'll, *I* want them to re-institute shooting classes on high school, mind you for pure and just reasons.

Small arms tactics in junior.

Elementary school kids can be taught how to handle knives and other forms of close combat.

Per Captain Cooper, small children are best suited for crew-served weapons. They require less physical strength to be effective and encourage cooperation and team-work which is helpful for later in life.

686 "If you keep talking about the assassination attempt don’t you dare tell the kids who survive school shootings and their families to “just get over it”

It's been two f*cking days.

Hoggster and all the other leftists have been milking their not-so-close encounters for literal years.

I know that leftists don't have a good sense of the passage of time, what with lusting after the eternal now of Year Zero, but come on!

That's been my long-shot bet (if I was betting). It'd be a story of outsiders of their respective parties, and builds on the current (as of this weekend) "unity" theme.

690 "Children and guns are simply a bad idea. your average firearm is too unwieldy for a typical child to operate in a safe and effective manner.

"Children are much better suited to crew served weapons. The semi-stationary characteristics of a mortar or heavy machine gun relies less on the child's physical strength and stamina and also builds teamwork."

694 Jack Black was in the news earlier (June 15th), before this fuck-up and a bit before the Presidential Debate (Debasement?).

He was all-in for Biden, stumping for him during a fundraiser. One quote about doing so: "George Clooney and Julia Roberts wanted me to help out the President".

I wonder if this is the same fundraiser that Clooney, the day after the Debate, said that Biden was having issues with as well.

Apparently, a transcript is online, posted to X or elsewhere. Probably want to save copies of the video and the transcript. "Silence is Violence", as they say. But he wasn't silent.
