  • Everyone has been talking about the threat

  • of white supremacy in the United States.

  • In fact, even President Trump admits

  • that it's a major problem.

  • Which is a pretty big deal,

  • 'cause that would be like if Hobbs & Shaw spoke out

  • against speeding.

  • If Jason Statham came out like,

  • "You know what's cooler than driving fast?

  • Going 55 and buckling your safety belt, innit?"

  • But even though most people in America

  • have acknowledged the threat, there is one person

  • who still isn't convinced.

  • Fox News anchor

  • and concerned face drawn onto a balloon...

  • -(laughter) -Tucker Carlson. 00:00:33.299 --> 00:00:34.901 line:0% The whole thing is a lie. 00:00:34.934 --> 00:00:37.537 line:0% If you were to assemble a list, 00:00:37.570 --> 00:00:40.239 line:0% a hierarchy of concerns, of problems this country faces, 00:00:40.272 --> 00:00:42.608 line:0% where would white supremacy be on the list? 00:00:42.641 --> 00:00:44.577 line:0% Right up there with Russia, probably. 00:00:44.610 --> 00:00:47.180 line:0% It's actually not a real problem in America. 00:00:47.213 --> 00:00:48.714 line:0% The combined membership 00:00:48.747 --> 00:00:51.350 line:0% of every white supremacist organization in this country 00:00:51.383 --> 00:00:53.653 line:0% would be able to fit inside a college football stadium. 00:00:53.686 --> 00:00:55.455 line:0% "White supremacy-- that's the problem." 00:00:55.488 --> 00:00:57.690 line:0% This is a hoax. Just like The Russia hoax. 00:00:57.723 --> 00:01:00.960 line:0% It's a conspiracy theory used to divide the country 00:01:00.993 --> 00:01:02.728 line:0% and keep a hold on power. 00:01:02.761 --> 00:01:04.697 line:0% That's exactly what's going on.

  • Wait, what?

  • White supremacists aren't a threat

  • because they can only fill a college football stadium?

  • My man, those stadiums hold a hundred thousand people.

  • We shouldn't have enough white supremacists

  • to fill a golf cart-- that's how many we should have.

  • -(cheering, applause) -We're not talking about the numbers here.

  • Oh. How many? How many of them are there?

  • White supremacists are like babies on a plane--

  • even one is enough to ruin your day.

  • -(laughter) -And you do notice,

  • you do notice that Tucker Carlson

  • only gives white terrorists this pass. Yeah?

  • Like, after 9/11, he wasn't like, "Al-Qaeda?

  • "Please. What was it, like, 19 people?

  • "Is this a real thing? Huh? There's, like, 19 people.

  • Call me when they can sell out a Knicks game, okay? Uh-huh?"

  • Oh, and it's especially interesting

  • that Tucker doesn't think white supremacists are a real threat,

  • especially when you look at all the other threats

  • that he talks about on his show. 00:01:53.746 --> 00:01:55.615 line:0% If you're looking for threats to our democracy, 00:01:55.648 --> 00:01:57.183 line:0% how about Silicon Valley? 00:01:57.216 --> 00:01:59.352 line:0% How did we wind up with a country 00:01:59.385 --> 00:02:01.687 line:0% in which feminists do science? 00:02:01.720 --> 00:02:03.923 line:0% A country where you're afraid to touch other people 00:02:03.956 --> 00:02:06.225 line:0% is a country we don't want to live in. 00:02:06.258 --> 00:02:07.593 line:0% The way we practice immigration 00:02:07.626 --> 00:02:09.829 line:0% has become dangerous to this country. 00:02:09.862 --> 00:02:11.430 line:0% Kneeling during our National Anthem, 00:02:11.463 --> 00:02:13.399 line:0% you know, the basic symbol of our country, 00:02:13.432 --> 00:02:15.034 line:0% it's an attack on the United States. 00:02:15.067 --> 00:02:16.536 line:0% Almost every nation on earth 00:02:16.569 --> 00:02:19.939 line:0% has fallen under the yoke of tyranny: the metric system.

  • The metric system. (gasps)

  • The metric system is a threat to America

  • but white supremacy is a hoax?

  • Yo, I feel like Tucker Carlson

  • would tell the lamest campfire stories of all time.

  • He's just be like, "And then she heard a scratching sound

  • "coming from inside the door,

  • and when she turned around, it was centimeters."

  • (laughter)

  • Now, apparently soft-pedaling white supremacy

  • didn't go over well with everybody.

  • In fact, three big advertisers pulled out

  • of Tucker Carlson's show after he said that.

  • -And... -(cheers and applause)

  • And... something tells me

  • his bosses at Fox News didn't like what he said

  • because, the very next day,

  • he made a surprise announcement at the end of his show. 00:03:07.019 --> 00:03:08.254 line:0% That's it for us tonight. 00:03:08.287 --> 00:03:09.622 line:0% Tune in every night at 8:00 p.m. 00:03:09.655 --> 00:03:11.390 line:0% to the the shown that is the sworn enemy of lying, 00:03:11.423 --> 00:03:14.694 line:0% pomposity and smugness and group think. 00:03:14.727 --> 00:03:16.729 line:0% By the way, I am taking several days off, 00:03:16.762 --> 00:03:18.464 line:0% headed to the wilderness 00:03:18.497 --> 00:03:20.466 line:0% to fish with my son, catch some brook trout. 00:03:20.499 --> 00:03:22.168 line:0% Politics is important, fishing with your son 00:03:22.201 --> 00:03:23.869 line:0% sometimes more important, so I'm doing it.

  • Okay.

  • Oh, that timing seems suspicious but who knows,

  • maybe lots of people leave for fishing vacations

  • on Wednesday night at 9:00 p.m.

  • I mean, you never know

  • when the fish are gonna start biting.

  • You never know.

  • And I know some people will say, "Come on, Trevor,

  • "this is probably just a coincidence, okay?

  • "Just because Tucker said something offensive

  • "and then took a surprise vacation

  • doesn't mean these two things are related."

  • Okay, maybe not,

  • but it does seem to happen a lot over at Fox.

  • Sudden vacation announcements

  • have been a go-to move for Trump TV.

  • Last March, Laura Ingraham announced a vacation

  • after coming under fire

  • for mocking Parkland survivor David Hogg.

  • Sean Hannity went on vacation after advertisers fled

  • over his promotion of a conspiracy theory

  • that exploited the death of DNC staffer Seth Rich.

  • Jesse Watters took time off after criticism

  • over a lewd comment about Ivanka Trump. 00:04:11.684 --> 00:04:14.553 line:0% You go in, like, hard enough, they drop the ball. 00:04:14.586 --> 00:04:15.921 line:0% -It's perfect. -Very good. -Yeah, you're welcome. 00:04:15.954 --> 00:04:17.356 line:0% I'm glad he didn't run them over. 00:04:17.389 --> 00:04:19.325 line:0% Also, I'm gonna be taking a vacation with my family 00:04:19.358 --> 00:04:21.627 line:0% so I'm not gonna be here tomorrow and Friday, 00:04:21.660 --> 00:04:23.296 line:0% but I'll be back on Monday, so try not to miss me too much. 00:04:23.329 --> 00:04:25.564 line:0% BOOTHE: (clears throat) Saturday also?

  • (laughter)

  • My favorite part is how all the Fox hosts

  • try to casually slip it in to random conversation, you know?

  • Sort of like how you used to buy condoms in high school.

  • You'd just be like, "Yeah, let me get a,

  • "a bag of the Doritos and a pack of the condoms...

  • (speaking rapidly and indistinctly)

  • And the cashier's like, "Jerry, bring me over

  • "a box of condoms for the kid, please.

  • I'm gonna say extra small!"

  • (audience reacts)

  • So almost everyone on Fox

  • has had to go on a surprise vacation

  • after saying something controversial,

  • but there's one vacation on Fox

  • that is the greatest of all time.

  • HAYES: Bill O'Reilly took what he insisted

  • was a pre-planned vacation after revelations

  • he had settled multiple sexual harassment allegations. 00:05:10.008 --> 00:05:11.410 line:0% Finally time for Factor Tip of the Day 00:05:11.443 --> 00:05:13.012 line:0% often around this time of year, 00:05:13.045 --> 00:05:15.648 line:0% I grab some vacation because it's spring and Easter time. 00:05:15.681 --> 00:05:18.250 line:0% Last fall, I booked a trip that should be terrific. 00:05:18.283 --> 00:05:20.219 line:0% Not gonna tell you where it is. 00:05:20.252 --> 00:05:22.121 line:0% I'll have a full report when I return.

  • HAYES: And he never returned.

  • (laughter)

  • (cheers and applause)

  • Oh, man.

  • And he never returned.

  • Doesn't sound like a guy going on vacation,

  • it sounds like a guy who got whacked by the mob.

  • (Italian accent): "Yeah, let's just say O'Reilly's

  • "gonna be going on a permanent vacation.

  • I'm Chris Cuomo. Thanks for watching CNN."

  • (cheers and applause)

  • (normal voice): And I...

  • I also feel really bad for that one Fox viewer

  • who's still waiting for O'Reilly to return.

  • 'Cause you know there's one person watching TV like,

  • "Bill's gonna have so many great stores stories

  • "when he finally comes back.

  • I bet he went to Machu Picchu."

  • Honestly, these emergency vacations have become

  • such a staple for Fox News hosts,

  • I wouldn't be surprised if they had their own travel agency.

  • ANNOUNCER: Are you tired of the hustle and bustle

  • of being dropped by advertisers?

  • Want to get away because your bosses say you have to?

  • Then you need Fox Vacations,

  • the travel agency for Fox News hosts in trouble.

  • We'll lift you off in the dead of night

  • and bring you to an isolated spot

  • where you can rant in peace.

  • Hang ten while spreading murder conspiracies.

  • Mock shooting survivors between rounds of beach volleyball,

  • or just share your views on white genocide with the fish.

  • Plus, call now for our special Forever Vacation.

  • You'll have so much fun, you won't want to go back,

  • which is great, because you can't.

  • Fox Vacations.

  • Relax, this will all blow over.

  • (cheers and applause)

  • Have a great trip, guys.
