the media, especially conservative media, such as yourself, because we find we can t get conversations on the department of justice s ongoing investigation of news cor corporation which you an employee. after 30 years of having our living standards decrease while the wealthiest 1% had it better than ever, it s time for maybe, some participation in our democracy that isn t funded by news cameras and gentlemen such as yourself. let me give you this challenge, jesse. sure. we re here giving you an opportunity on the record with greta van susteren to put any message you want out there. give you fair coverage. i m not going to in any way be biased about it. that s awesome. there s exception to the case. you wouldn t be able to get your message out without us. no, certainly. take for instance when glenn beck was doing his protests and he called the president a person who hates white people and white culture. that was a low moment in america s history. you guys had a big part it n
