Fox News Owner Repeatedly Wished That Trump Was No Longer Alive

A new book by author Michael Wolff is about to be released, and it contains plenty of juicy tidbits about the inner workings at Fox News, including the disdain that the Murdoch family had for Donald Trump. At one point, Wolff says that Rupert Murdoch would repeatedly wish that Donald Trump was no longer among the living, and his son even had toilet paper at his home with Trump's face on it. And that's just one of the wild stories that Wolff tells, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

There's a new book coming out next week by author Michael Wolf that is effectively a tell-all of the downfall of Fox News. In fact, that's actually part of the title of the book is called The Fall, the End of Fox News and the Murdoch Dynasty. And as per usual, whenever you get one of these big political books coming out, you get a lot of excerpts and, you know, takeaways that get published. And we've got some pretty interesting ones to talk, uh, to talk about. Excuse me. So here's what's been revealed about this book so far. According to author Michael Wolf, one of the things that became a very common theme for Rupert Murdoch during Trump's administration was Rupert Murdoch constantly asking, how in the hell Donald Trump is even still alive, let me reach you this, this is from the book, Trump's death became a Murdoch theme. We would all be better off. This would all be solved if, how could he still be alive? How could he, have you seen him? Have you seen what he looks like, what he eats?

And I, I'm sorry, but I kind of find that hilarious because look, folks, you gotta admit to yourself, we've all thought that, right? Like, not that we are wishing him any harm or that we would do anything, just to be totally clear about that. But I know I've looked at Donald Trump and Mike, how can you at age, what, 77, 78, you know, eating McDonald's all the time. You're clearly out of shape. Your body looks rough. You're putting yourself through all this stress. You've got all the stress of the 91 felony charges against you. How have you not had a heart attack? How have you not had a stroke? I mean, honestly, like I've been sitting here doing videos sometimes, and my watch will go off like, Hey, your heart rate's getting a little up. You can't tell me that Trump's doesn't do the same thing when he is posting on true social.

'cause he's so mad. Like, how, how has your heart just not been like, I'm done bye. But he keeps on going, you know, he's better shape than me, I guess. But that was according to Michael Wolf, that was a big thing that Rupert Murdoch was like, what the hell? Why hasn't nature done its job here? And then he tells another story about how Lachlan Murdoch, Rupert Murdoch's son, and I think he's the actual president of Fox News now, um, at his home in the run up to the 2016 election, had toilet paper in all the bathrooms that features Trump's face. I'm sure we've all seen the novelty toilet paper. They do him for every politician, really. So, you know, if you're left or right, you can find somebody on toilet paper that you hate. Uh, and all the guests at Lachlan's House, according to this, they thought it was humorous and ha ha ha,

It's Trump's face on the toilet paper. Um, personally, I wouldn't want Trump anywhere near any of my bodily orifices, even if it's just a picture of him, but hey, to each their own. But then there was another story that Wolf tells that allegedly Ron DeSantis kicked Tucker Carlson's dog. So here's what allegedly happened in that incident. Tucker Carlson has Ron DeSantis over for dinner, and Tucker Carlson, I guess has dogs. It's dinnertime. Dogs do what dogs do at dinner. Anybody who has dogs, especially if you have kids and dogs, knows the dogs like to get under the table while you eat. And sometimes they can get a little, you know, antsy coming up to you thinking like, are you gonna drop something?
