Ex-ABC reporter issues BOMBSHELL admission on coverage of Biden's decline · DEEP INSIGHT

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Media moments that matter. Pretty excited. Time for everyone's favorite segment.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: I mean everyone.
• 0:05
  Speaker 3: I took a survey.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: This week I gave my VCR, my TV guide, not
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: my Hope subscription, just this week's. All my cords and
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: my tape stock too. New York Post columnist Lydia Moynihan. Lydia,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: you've got to return it, but I knew you did
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of taping.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: And you came up with three substantial segments.
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: There are some of your favorites in here this week,
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: including Kamala Harris. Oh, really? We haven't heard from her
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: in a while. So we'll get to that, but we're
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: going to start... with the ladies of The View. So
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: Patrick Clancy did his first interview this week and revealed
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: some pretty astonishing facts, including the fact that his wife, Lindsay,
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: never apologized for killing their three children. Sarah Haynes, who's
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: supposed to be the moderate co-host there on The View,
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: had this to say about the Patrick and Lindsay Clancy marriage.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: What bothers me is he talks about forgiving her, which
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: I love, But he focuses on that and never jumps
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: to what so many people struggle with. How did the
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: marital love end so quickly? When you admit openly your
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: wife got sick, she got sick. It doesn't mean you
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: can be with them and it doesn't mean it doesn't
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: remind you of the worst day of your life. But
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: I would hope, like in sickness and in health, I
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: would hope that my husband wouldn't sit there and just
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: move right along.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I will say, everyone's got their different thresholds, but strangling
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: your three children might be the breaking point that goes
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: beyond any good marriage therapist.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: How judgmental of her.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I can't believe he would leave his wife and strangle
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: their children.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: Maybe the worst take I've heard on the Clancy trial,
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: and I had to look up. I thought, okay, well,
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: what else... have the ladies of The View said about divorce.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: And they actually did a segment earlier this year celebrating
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: the fact that a growing number of women were leaving
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: their husbands because they weren't satisfied and feeling fulfilled and
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: how empowering it was for them to file for divorce.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: But evidently if you're a man and you leave your
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: wife because she murdered your children, That's a bridge too far.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: And by the way, I was totally disappointed in the
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: 60 Minutes interview. I didn't think they did a good
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: job at all with Clancy. But that's a child that's
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: going to live on. Of course, we're going to find
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: out the future of it. But you didn't stop there.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: So many anchors are no longer with their networks and
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: now speaking out publicly.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah. So Terry Moran this week chimed in about his
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: attempted report on Biden's declining health. He'd gone on a
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: trip with him. And here's what the ABC News executive
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: said when he pitched that story about the Biden cognitive decline.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: I tried to do the story of Biden's health before
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: anybody else did in network because I'd seen it. And
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: I got shut down very hard. I wrote an email
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: to everybody as as gently and as respectfully as I could.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: I think I still have it. And it was like,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: you know, this is legit, legit issue for Americans to
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: be interested in. I'm not a doctor. I'm not diagnosing.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: But we all know what we know when we see
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: people fading. This is a legitimate concern for the voters
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: of America. And I said, this is the medical unit's business.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: It's not yours, basically. And that was that. Now he's
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: saying it, right?
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: What we all saw and they said it was bias,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: now it's for the medical doctors. You know how many
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: people have said things about Donald Trump? They don't like
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the way he walks, or they say that his legs
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: are swollen, or he falls asleep. They're quick to make
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: a medical diagnosis there. Right. How do you feel about
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: him coming out now?
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: The people who complain about the fact they can't keep
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: up with Donald Trump also say that he's old and tired. Look,
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: I think it's good that we're learning this, right? I
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: think sunlight's the best disinfectant. But why are we only
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: hearing this now? And why isn't he naming names? Because
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: presumably the kind of executive to censor this story. is
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: also going to censor a lot of other stories. So
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: we'd like to know, who are they? Are they continuing
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: to squelch important stories that we as a public need
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: to hear?
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: And remember, he got fired. So what's he holding back for?
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: What's more to lose? Speaking of somebody that didn't get
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: hired as president but might be trying to do it again,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Kamala Harris is at it. Has she gotten better at elocution?
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: I think you'll be the judge. She had quite a
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: few moments this week on her little tour there trying
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: to push El-Sayed's candidacy in Michigan.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Let's listen.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Shirley Chisholm talked about it. If you're not at the table,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: bring a folding chair, otherwise you might.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Be on the menu.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: They're cheating with all this redistricting that they are doing.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: They are cheating by purging voter rolls. An attack on
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: DEI to recognize diversity, equity, and inclusion is an attack
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: by definition on maternal care.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: What? I don't even know what it means. But you see,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: even El Saeed goes, did I make a mistake asking
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: her to come with me?
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: Well, the good news is we're not alone. So one
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: amazing thing about Kamala Harris is the more that people
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: see of her, the less they like her. If you remember,
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: she had a little bit of momentum when she came
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: on the scene running for president back in 2019. I
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: do remember that. 15-ish percent, and then that dip she
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: had to drop out.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Lydia Moynihan, great to see you.
