WORK SONGS: Rev. Davis was washed in the blood of the lamb!

TUESDAY, JANUARY 28, 2025

Campos-Duffy keeps playing with fire: The workers were swinging their nine-pound hammers quite early this past Sunday morning.

Their work songs help make the hours pass as they perform their labors. Some are paid millions of dollars per year for the eight hours of labor, per week, they provide for The Man:

Fox News Channel Work Song Gang, 1/26/25
Rachel Campos-Duffy: co-host, Fox & Friends Weekend
Charlie Hurt: new co-host, Fox & Friends Weekend
Jason Chaffetz: former congressman (R-Utah); Fox News contributor

This past Sunday, at 6 a.m., all three seemed highly convicted. As field work goes, the pay is quite good. It's the blinding stupidity which makes this "cable news" program such a compelling watch.

The workers agree that they'll all sing the songs handed down by the bosses. No prescribed lyric will be left behind. 

Starting at 6:04 a.m.—on a Sunday morning, no less!—this giant clown call was heard:

CAMPOS-DUFFY (1/26/25): Pete Hegseth, congratulations! He's out. And some of the senators who didn't vote for him voted for Rachel Levine. 

It's just kind of incredible if you really think about it. If you remember Rachel Levine from HHS. Thinks—he thinks she's a woman. He thinks he's a woman, I guess.

CHAFFETZ: Yeah! They voted for Fauci! They voted for a lot of these people, and then— Their support is just mystifying to me, because I think they made a great case. 

Also John Ratcliffe, excited to have him as the CIA director. He's out and in that position and then immediately releases a report that I found fascinating and I know we're going to talk about a little bit later.

CAMPOS-DUFFY: Yeah! I guess it did— It did come out of the lab!

CHAFFETZ: Yeah! And the CIA—that was the CIA under Biden. That's what they came up with!

CAMPOS-DUFFY: I didn't even—I didn't need to be in the CIA to know that one! [Laughs]

HURT: Exactly. They have a firm grasp of the obvious.

CAMPOS-DUFFY: Yeah. [Laughs]

HURT: This is a great CIA we have here. But it is kind of interesting...

And so on from there. You'll have to look up Dr. Levine for yourself. She's a recurrent figure of ridicule among field hands of this type.

To watch that performance, you can just click here. Let's set the scene a bit further:

Hurt may be the dumbest mofo in the whole Fox News Channel stable. Campos-Duffy is extremely genial, even at 6 o'clock on a Sunday morning, just so long as she's with her own.

You can see the claptrap, and hear the delighted laughter, just by clicking that link. The claptrap continued all morning. 

The program runs for four hours. It's the sheer stupidity of this "cable news" show which makes it such a compelling watch. 

Question: Were there confirmation votes for Dr. Fauci at any stage in his long career? 

We don't know the answer to that. We do know what the workers were talking about with respect to that new CIA report.

Singing one of her usual songs, Campos-Duffy said she'd known it all along! That said, the CIA itself doesn't claim to know what's true about the origin on Covid-19. Politico headline included, here's what the new report said:

CIA now says Covid-19 is more likely to have originated from a lab leak

The Central Intelligence Agency said Saturday that it’s more likely a lab leak caused the Covid-19 pandemic than an infected animal that spread the virus to people, changing the agency’s yearslong stance that it couldn’t conclude with certainty where the pandemic started.

The agency made its new assessment public two days after former Republican lawmaker John Ratcliffe was sworn in as its new leader.

“We have low confidence in this judgement and will continue to evaluate any available credible new intelligence reporting or open-source information that could change CIA’s assessment,” an unnamed CIA spokesperson wrote in an email sent to reporters Saturday.

The statement didn’t include any additional details about what led the agency to change its assessment and whether it had intelligence that would add weight to the theory that the virus had leaked from a research lab in Wuhan, China.

The “CIA continues to assess that both research-related and natural origin scenarios of the Covid-19 pandemic remain plausible,” the statement said.

Even now, the CIA's new assessment is being offered with "low confidence." Each scenario "remains plausible," the CIA now says.

The CIA was giving voice to "low confidence." But at the clown show staged by the Fox News Channel, the confidence of one multimillionaire worker was quite high. 

The wealthy field worker was swinging her axe as directed by the people who own her. As we noted yesterday, this clown car performer was soon singing such lyrics as these:

CAMPOS-DUFFY: ...Red flag? Hello! And also, the Wuhan lab was doing Covid and coronavirus studies. Like, duh? 

"I'm not in the CIA—and I knew this right way!" this undisguised circus clown said. The CIA still doesn't know—but this millionaire field hand does!

Campos-Duffy is full of true belief. She knows the words to all the songs she and her co-workers sing.

Also, as she has revealed on this program, she truly believes in "our lord and savior, Jesus Christ." (As do more than two billion other people, all around the world.)

There's nothing "wrong" with that widely held belief. But this particular believer also he also tends to play with rings of fire. 

As we noted yesterday, she likes to tell every crackpot in the nation that "Fauci," as she prefers to call him—no first name, no honorific—is directly responsible for millions of deaths.

It's much as we told you on Sunday. The late Reverend Gary Davis was happy to say that his soul had been "washed in the blood of the lamb." 

As the leading authority notes, the Rev. Davis was born "black," in rural South Carolina, in the year 1896. Given the world he was forced to negotiate, we ourselves are glad to know that he came to have the experience he describes in this stunningly compelling performance, as Pete Seeger and the very young Donovan are seen looking on.

That said, Campos-Duffy often seems eager to see "Fauci" washed in a different volume of blood. It's astounding that a person of such amazingly bad judgment is being paid millions of dollars to swing this hammer in this way on a major "cable news" program. 

It's even more astounding that, as this clown car keeps rolling along, every major news org in Blue America has agreed to avert its gaze from what is happening there.

The clown car just kept rolling on all through Sunday's four hours. We'll return to that car wreck tomorrow.

For today, we'll take you to the latest post by Kevin Drum. His post concerns the latest tweet from the sitting commander. The tweet appeared late last night:

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

The United States Military just entered the Great State of California and, under Emergency Powers, TURNED ON THE WATER flowing abundantly from the Pacific Northwest, and beyond. The days of putting a Fake Environmental argument, over the PEOPLE, are OVER. Enjoy the water, California!!!

So the (possible) madman tweeted. As you can see by clicking this link, this was Kevin's reaction, headline included:

Donald Trump: I ordered military to turn on the water in California

What in God's name is Trump talking about here?

[Text of last night's tweet]

This is beyond weird. It's hallucinatory. And even if it were somehow true that the Army TURNED ON THE WATER, California doesn't get any water from the Pacific Northwest or beyond. We get it from our very own Sierra Nevadas.

Is Trump really and truly losing it? Or does he figure he can just say anything he wants for the rubes? Or what?

So says Kevin (more below). With respect to ourselves, full disclosure:

Way back in early September, we tried to fact-check this topic. At that time, Candidate Trump had spoken in a panoramic oceanfront setting in Rancho Palos Verdes (southern Los Angeles County). 

At that time, he spoke about turning "a very large faucet" somewhere to turn all the water loose.

At that time, major news orgs let the statement go. They do that with many of the strange remarks made by this strange person. 

After wasting a lot of time, we couldn't get clear enough on the actual facts to bring his matter to your attention. But the puzzling statements have continued, with the "massive faucet" Trump wanted to turn sometimes described as a wheel.

Back in September, a CBS affiliate in Oregon eventually published a fact check concerning that very large faucet. Accurately or otherwise, here's how that fact check started:

Expert: Trump’s ‘large faucet’ that can divert water from PNW to LA doesn’t exist

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — If it were up to former President Donald Trump, Los Angeles would enjoy “more water than you ever saw” by diverting water from the Columbia River to Southern California, he suggested.

Trump told reporters between campaign fundraisers in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif. on Sept. 13 that, if elected, he would turn on “a very large faucet,” that he claims could send millions of gallons of water from the Pacific Northwest to Los Angeles.

“You have millions of gallons of water pouring down from the north, with the snow caps and Canada, and all pouring down,” Trump said in the press conference just after an hour into it. “And they have, essentially, a very large faucet, and you turn the faucet, and it takes one day to turn, and it’s massive … and you turn that, and all of that water goes aimlessly into the Pacific. And if you turned it back, all of that water would come right down here and right into Los Angeles.”

One of the potential problems with the Republican presidential nominee’s plan is that his system for channeling that water from the Pacific Northwest to Southern California doesn’t exist, Oregon’s state Climatologist Larry O’Neill told KOIN 6 News.

“There is indeed no such diversion system and none has been seriously proposed that I am aware of,” O’Neill said.

You can read the rest of the fact-check yourself. Last night, the faucet seemed to be back in action. Indeed, the U.S. army had turned it!

Did the commander's tweet make sense? Right there in SoCal, Drum's answer seems to be no. He seemed to say he has no idea what this nutcase is talking about.

For ourselves, we'd moved ahead to a fact check of the commander's repeated remarks about the way the United States has been ripped off by the World Health Organization:

Here's the way a recent report at the Fox News site described that allegation, dual headline included:

Trump open to considering re-entry into World Health Organization: 'They'd have to clean it up'
'We paid $500 million a year and China paid $39 million a year,' Trump told rally goers Saturday

During a rally at Circa Resort & Casino in Downtown Las Vegas, the president told those in attendance that it was unfair a country like China, with a population much greater than the U.S., was only paying a fraction of what the U.S. was paying annually to the WHO.

"We paid $500 million a year and China paid $39 million a year despite a much larger population. Think of that. China's paying $39 million to have 1.4 billion people, we pay $500 million we have—no one knows what the hell we have, does anyone know? We have so many people pouring in we have no idea," Trump told rally goers on Saturday.

"They offered me at $39 million, they said 'We'll let you back in for $39 million,' they're going to reduce it from [$500 million] to [$39 million], and I turned them down, because it became so popular I didn't know if it would be well received even at [$39 million], but maybe we would consider doing it again, I don’t know, they have to clean it up a bit."

An analysis of national contributions to the WHO from NPR found that the U.S. pays for roughly 10% of the WHO's budget, while China pays about 3%.

And so on from there. This report quoted the commander's repeated claim about the (alleged) $500 million from the United States, as compared to the (alleged) $39 million from China. 

It also cited an NPR fact-check. Tomorrow, we'll visit that astoundingly bungled attempt at a fact-check.

This is the shape of the broken world with which we the people are left. Tomorrow, we'll return to the silly work songs a clown like Campos-Duffy sings for eight hours every weekend, in unison with other hands.

The Reverend Davis said his soul had been washed in the blood of the lamb. Campos-Duffy almost seems to want to see "Fauci" washed in the blood of himself.

Two weeks ago, we asked a basic question. Quoting something the commander had said, we asked this:

In what world wouldn't a comment like that be viewed as the work of a madman?

Major Blue orgs are still ducking that question. Yesterday, the commander directed the army to turn the "very large faucet." Tomorrow, we'll visit what he keeps saying about the WHO.

 On Fox & Friends Weekend, the tired field hands—self-assured workers like Campos-Duffy—make it clear that they know the words to all of Ole Massa's songs. 

When it comes to the origin of Covid-19, the CIA still isn't sure. This one particular TV hand has been quite sure all along!

With respect to "Fauci," she insists on playing with rings of fire. Devoted to her lord and savior, she's been playing that very dangerous tune for a very long time now.

Tomorrow: Mote topics from Sunday's clown show
