CLIPS: Gibson and radio producer mocked Jon Stewart’s “sobbing” remarks after 9-11, called him a “phony”>
Your Podscope hit is at 3:01
On the August 10 broadcast of his Fox News Radio show, John
Gibson and the program\’s executive producer, known on air as “Angry
Rich,” mocked Comedy Central host Jon Stewart for emotional remarks he made shortly after the September 11, 2001,
terrorist attacks. While airing a clip of Stewart\’s remarks from the
September 20, 2001, edition
of The Daily Show, Gibson
mimicked Stewart and sarcastically interjected, “Oh, God, Jon. Just tell me it\’s not
true,” and,
“Oh! That\’s great. I\’m — God, I\’m
touched.” Before
playing the clip, Angry Rich asked, “Do you remember what the media was
like shortly after 9-11?”
Gibson answered, “Oh, Jon Stewart sobbing.” After the clip
concluded, Angry Rich called Stewart a “phony.”
The portion of Stewart\’s
September 20, 2001, comments that Gibson aired:
STEWART: The view
from my apartment was the World
Trade Center. And now it\’s gone. And
they attacked it. This symbol of
American ingenuity and strength and labor and imagination and commerce, and it is gone. But you
know what the view is now? The Statue of Liberty.
The view from the south
of Manhattan is
now the Statue of Liberty. You can\’t beat that.
Gibson mocked Stewart during a discussion of Philadelphia Daily News
columnist Stu Bykofsky\’s August 9 column, headlined “To
save America,
we need another 9/11.” He aired the clip immediately following a
caller\’s comment that “the last time I ever remember in my entire
life this entire country actually stood up and held hands and everybody cared
about each other” was after 9-11.
From the August 10 broadcast of Fox News Radio\’s The John Gibson Show:
GIBSON: [Caller] in Madison,
Wisconsin.
CALLER: Hi, John.
GIBSON: Are you angry at this
columnist for saying –
well, let me quote him
correctly –
“that another 9-11
would help America?”
CALLER: You know, John, I have — I love your show. First,
I want to say you\’re one of my great idols. I
listen to you everyday.
GIBSON: You do?
CALLER: Yes. I absolutely love your show. John, I — you know, I\’ve said this for so
long right now because I\’m so frustrated
with these — with everybody, just — all everybody cares about in this country is their
own personal interests,
and that\’s all they really want the government to go for. And
everybody is — they
want the money and the time and energy spent on their own personal interests, and everybody\’s always thinking about me, me, me, me, me.
And the last
time I ever remember in
my entire life this entire country actually stood up and held hands and
everybody cared about each other and said, “You know what? Forget my interests. I
don\’t care what, you know, I have to do to help myself now. Go, government, and take care of this country as a whole,” was September 12. You know, September 11. And
ever since then,
we\’ve gotten so far away and after that, and we\’ve forgotten that feeling of
that day after. And it has — you know, it\’s dwindled away from
everybody, and we have
gotten to the point we\’re back
into only caring about putting
that money and effort into what is going to help me personally and what\’s
going to, you know –
GIBSON: [Caller], you live in Madison,
Wisconsin?
CALLER: One of the
most liberal towns in this country.
GIBSON: How — I mean, do you, like, hide under a rock –
CALLER: My God.
GIBSON: — and make sure your neighbors don\’t
hear you speak?
CALLER: And trust me, honest to God, I\’m in the closet right now.
ANGRY RICH: They throw bongs at him.
GIBSON: I bet they do. [Caller], thanks.
CALLER: I mean
I\’m –
GIBSON: Appreciate it. God, we found
the one guy in Madison who\’s sensible.
ANGRY RICH: Do you remember what the media was like shortly after
9-11?
GIBSON: Oh, Jon Stewart sobbing.
STEWART: The view from my apartment –
GIBSON: Sobbing.
STEWART: — was the World Trade
Center.
GIBSON: Oh, God, Jon. Just tell me
it\’s not true.
STEWART: And now it\’s gone.
GIBSON: It\’s gone.
STEWART: And they attacked it.
GIBSON: They attacked it.
STEWART: This symbol –
GIBSON: This symbol.
STEWART: — of American ingenuity –
GIBSON: American ingenuity.
STEWART: — and strength –
GIBSON: And strength.
STEWART: — and –
GIBSON: Determination.
STEWART: — and labor and imagination
and commerce, and it is
gone.
GIBSON: Gone.
STEWART: But you know what the view is now?
ANGRY RICH: What is it, Jon?
GIBSON: What is it, Jon?
STEWART: The Statue of Liberty.
GIBSON: Oh! That\’s
great. I\’m — God, I\’m touched.
STEWART: The view from the south
of Manhattan is now the Statue of Liberty.
GIBSON: I\’m touched.
ANGRY RICH: Let me bash Bush for the
next six years.
STEWART: You can\’t beat that.
GIBSON: You can\’t beat that.
Well –
ANGRY RICH: Phony.
GIBSON: Actually, you could. If you wait a little while,
you\’ll say, just as Steve Martin used to say, “Should I fight the
terrorists? Should I listen to their phone calls? Should I follow them
everywhere on the planet to keep America safe? Nah, let\’s
kick the hell out of Bush.”
Do we need another 9-11? Triple eight, seven,
eight, eight, nine, nine, one, zero. Any of you — anybody who would say we do need a 9-11, remember, there are
bloggers on the left and bloggers on the right who would like to string you up.
