Appearing on Fox Business Network’s Varney & Company Friday morning, Media Research Center President Brent Bozell called out the Marxist left running the Democratic Party and demanded that the media “tell the damn truth” about how extreme it had become. He specifically referred to the defunding radical of the police movement, and how it had caused political havoc on Democrats.
“Alright, now this, the latest national poll shows President Biden’s approval rating sinking to new lows. It now stands at just 38%,” fill-in host Ashley Webster reported at the top of the segment. Bozell explained that “the wheels are coming off” the Biden presidency and declared:
But it’s not just on his policies, it’s on policies of the left, you know, talking about defunding the police is a key here. And I’m going to be very blunt in what I’m going to say. It’s not a fight between Republicans or Democrats. The battle isn’t between conservatives or liberals. This battle is between forces within America who would destroy America and forces within America that wish to save it.
Bozell offered his advice after listing Marxist movements, such as Black Lives Matter, Antifa and Critical Race Theory.
Now, so here’s my message to the Republican Party. You can win any election you wish by funding police. The Democrats need to know that if your are a blue-collar Democrat and Joe Six Pack, then you must denounce this movement.
“And the media…we have to castigate the news media for being silent on this,” Bozell added. He singled out news outlets for not doing their jobs: “It is up to the ABCs, the NBCs, The Washington Post The New York TimesPlease. Tell the damn truth about what’s happening in this country….Just tell the truth. Let the chips fall where they may.”
Webster replied with an “Amen.”
This is the complete transcript from the Oct. 8 segment.

ASHLEY WEBSTER: Alright, now this, the latest national poll shows President Biden’s approval rating sinking to new lows. Now, it is at 38%. Brent Bozell (MRC President) joins me. Good morning Brent.
BRENT BOZELL: Hello.
WEBSTER – This is obviously not good news. Is this surprising?
BOZELL: The wheels are falling off. But it’s not just on his policies, it’s on policies of the left, you know, talking about defunding the police is a key here. And I’m going to be very blunt in what I’m going to say. It’s not a fight between Republicans or Democrats. The battle isn’t between conservatives or liberals. This battle is between forces within America who would destroy America and forces within America who wish to save it.
If you look at what’s funneling the left today, it’s Black Lives Matter, a Marxist organization, it’s Antifa, an anarchist organization. Pelosi is in control of the Congress, Schumer protecting Marxist organisations and Joe Biden supporting everything.
Now, here’s the key, Ashley. Remember the number 80 – 80% of Americans, a full 80% of Americans, support funding police. They’re seeing the effects of CRT and the 1619 Project on police funding, as well as the defunding. They’re seeing the chaos all over America. They’re seeing gun fire on the streets. This was inevitable. They’re seeing this country crumbling.
Now, so here’s my message to the Republican Party. You can win any election you wish by funding police. My message to the Democrats, if you are Joe six-pack, blue collar Democrat, the party of Joe Lieberman, if you want to regain your party – excuse me – you denounce this movement, you denounce the leadership and Joe Biden. If you’re Joe Biden, and this gets back to the beginning of this conversation, you want to regain your numbers, you want to regain the support of America, you have got to denounce this movement.
WEBSTER : And, Brent, you’ve talked about defunding the police and, you know, now, of course, the Democrats are trying to say, no, no, no, it was the Republicans. But of course, we have the tape that proves it isn’t. But I mean, it’s ridiculous. They’ve done this, they’ve blamed Trump for the border, they blamed the previous administration for everything, when, clearly, it’s a bald-faced lie.
BOZELL – Yes. And the media, I – we have to castigate the news media for being silent on this. The ABCs and NBCs have to do this. The Washington Post The New York TimesYou can do it. Tell the damn truth about what’s happening in this country. Explain to the American people who’s doing it and who’s not doing it.
WEBSTER: Amen.
BOZELL: Simply tell the truth. Let the chips fall wherever they might. You can be sure that the Republicans will prevail in a landslide.
WEBSTER: A great place to store it. Brent Bozell is great as ever.
BOZELL: Thank you, Ashley.
WEBSTER – We appreciate Brent’s presence.
