In a moment, CNN commentator Chris Cuomo, should he be fired over his brother's resignation? Right back with that. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress.

CNN is not going to fire Chris Cuomo. He was on last night and explained that he advised his brother to resign on and on and on and on. They won't fire him unless, of course, he refuses to get vaxed, then it'll be out of there faster than the network's ratings are falling. And Mr. Cuomo should not be sacked, simply for being a good brother.

Loyalty in America is now rare because it requires caring about another person enough to put yourself at risk. What? What's that loyalty? I can hear the millennial confusion from coast to coast. Here's how I see this. Chris Cuomo believes his governor brother is innocent of intentional misbehavior because that's what Governor Cuomo quite clearly says. And in close-knit

families, you support your siblings. Before the workplace allegations, Chris had put Andy on a CNN program a number of times and they yucked it up. Despite thousands of senior citizens dying in New York, because of Governor Cuomo's reckless COVID nursing home order. Chris might have been lifting weights when that happened because he didn't really address. it. And he should have known better to play Bud Abbott to Andy's Lou Costello. So where was CNN's management while the Andy and Chris show was flowering? Well, they were where they always are, practicing being woke. Old people, not a money demographic, unless they're trans old people. The truth is, the CNN Puba's encouraged the Brother Act, so how can they now fire a guy they

themselves allow to run wild? And what would be the reason for the termination? Violating journalistic standards? Come on. Chris Cuomo's program has nothing to do with journalism. It is designed and executed to give left-wing folks solace. Quomo isn't a bad guy. He's a pliant guy. He does what CNN tells him to do. In fact, that network is doing so poorly, it might consider a new primetime show called the Cuomo promo. Chris and Andrew would co-anchor, discussing a variety of topics such as narcissism and capitalizing on your famous name. The bros seem to have some chemistry. And maybe people would watch. Maybe not. In the end, Chris Cuomo will keep his job because his boss, Jeff Zucker, likes him. That's loyalty, too, in a somewhat twisted way.

And all this talk about standards is the biggest bologna sandwich in the world. CNN used to be a worldwide journalism concern. But that was a long time ago. Now it is in business both in the United States and around the world to promote left-wing policies and politicians. That is what CNN does every day. Summing up, the Cuomo brothers once had it all, just like bogey and becall. But now the ghost of bad karma has paid them a visit and a confrontation was harsh.

Now, the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. 23 years ago today, President Bill Clinton addressed the nation on live television to discuss his relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. After months of interviews, Avedavid's, taped phone calls, Mr. Clinton finally admitted the relationship was, quote, improper and physical.

here's the full story. News of the scandal first broke in January 1998. Editors at Newsweek, The Washington Post, and the New York Times received multiple reports of an affair between the president and an intern. Both Bill and Hillary Clinton vehemently denied the rumors. The First Lady went on the Today Show where she dismissed the accusations as part of a, quote, vast right-wing conspiracy. Remember that? President Clinton then held a president. conference, stating, I did not have sexual relations with that woman. The allegation sparked a federal probe under special counsel Ken Starr, who was already investigating a series of scandals connected to the Clintons. On August 17th, 1998, Bill Clinton became the first sitting president

to testify as a subject of a grand jury investigation. After speaking, Clinton addressed the nation and gave his side of the story. He admitted to an inappropriate relationship with with Ms. Lewinsky and said that he regretted misleading his wife and the American people when he denied the affair. The admission sparked a battle in Congress over whether to impeach Clinton. While Democrats favored censure, Republicans called loudly for impeachment claiming Clinton was unfit to lead the country. In December 1998, the House of Representatives voted to impeach, but after a five-week trial in the Senate, President Clinton was acquitted. And here's something else you might not know.

Technology played a major role in reporting the Clinton-Lewinsky affair. News of the scandal was the first major scoop to break on the recently formed Internet. The story broke as a small update on the Drudge Report just after midnight on January. January 17th, 1998. The headline, quote, blockbuster report, 23-year-old former White House intern, sex relationship with president. Back after this.
