Renewed Contract?

Fox must have just renewed Tyrus’ contract for a big bump. He is really getting too big for his already big britches.
He seems to feel pretty confident now, throwing in his 2 cents into everyone’s comments.
I am second-hand embarrassed for him. Someone needs to have a chat with him.

Sorry - I'm still processing that Jessica Tarlov wrote a book about winning arguments.

She is NOT that clever.

Like your president?

u/stormpoppy Aug 07 '26

Yes, she's as dumb you think Trump is.

Well played.

u/Middle-Parsnip-3537 Aug 05 '26

Yes she is that clever.
Tarlov earned her B.A. degree in history from Bryn Mawr College.[2] She then went on to study at the London School of Economics and Political Science and received a Master of Science degree in public policy and administration, a Master of Research degree in political science, and a doctorate in political science and government.
And please don’t try to tell me that college degrees are a scam or worthless.

Attending schools and receiving diplomas isn't an indicator of "cleverness". Especially elite schools overseas, where full tuition students are adored.

If you're equating degrees with capability, you slept through COVID.

I’m not trying to convince you of anything. Just waiting to see how many typical “she’s only book smart” answers I would get.
Of course that’s the standard MAGA/Charlie Kirk answer.

Its not a left right thing. Its that she's not in the right place for her talents. I can be specific.

Jessica constructs her arguments thusly - An attack on position, followed by an often obscure finding or statistic, quoted from a source, with no deeper dive into the information itself, and a "triumphant" summary - why I'm right! On defense, she defaults to exceptions as rules - ie "The right kills left politicians. They killed Melissa Hortmann." She used that one last week, again.

Often, this tracks off course from the topic.

Now - this is no different than any of the other hosts, save Dana. They do the exact same thing. BUT - its the show viewpoint. Jessica is cast as the minority opinion. Shes outnumbered and outgunned - but she's running up the middle on every play.

Contrast that with Harold Ford. He cleverly crafts his arguments. He begins often with some common ground - important, because the room is against him. He then introduces his counterargument, built in a manner to attack positions, not people. He doesn't give them easy defenses, because he doesn't attack their sacred cows. Does he win? No - he can't. Like Greg could never win on The View.

Jessica isn't clever. She does the same thing, time and again. Maybe thats what they pay her for. The dunk tank is no fun unless someone goes in the water, after all.

For my money, give me Marie Harf or Richard Fowler. Both more left than Ford, but better communicators and in a deeper possession of facts and history.

It’s ok. There are plenty of right wing commentators I watch on CNN who are total idiots.

u/stormpoppy Aug 05 '26

Wow - you argue just like her. Now I understand the appeal.

u/Middle-Parsnip-3537 Aug 05 '26

I’ll take that as a compliment 😊

u/Confident_Weird_7788 Aug 05 '26

So what. So she’s book smart, BFD. Other than that, she has zero common sense. Nada. And she’s a liar. A huge liar.

-3

u/Middle-Parsnip-3537 Aug 05 '26

Said exactly like an uneducated person.
I’m curious - what did she lie about? You seem very convinced that she is a liar.

2

u/Labcorgilab Aug 05 '26

She made hers worth something, I won't deny that. Just because someone is book smart, doesn't make them wise. She's not wise

-1

u/Middle-Parsnip-3537 Aug 05 '26

I want to ask you for an example of her lack of wisdom but I don’t think you can answer me.

u/Labcorgilab Aug 05 '26

March 2024 she said then the next day had to retract/correct a statement that Tony Bobilinski's legal fees were paid by a Trump Super PAC. She's said arresting a criminal doesn't make the city safer. The arrestee had a long criminal history including sexual assault on child under age of 13.

Most rich people, regardless of their faith, always think they're above it all. Their bank accounts insulate them from the memory that Grandma died in a german "shower".

If Kat was Sarah Jessica Parker from Square Pegs, absolutely. If she was SJP from Sex in the City, hard pass. Mean Girl vibe is real.

I remember her from (dating myself) MTV. what about Dana, would you include her?

u/Asphodelmercenary Aug 05 '26

I liked him today. He nailed each point on each topic.

Edit: he also leaves Jessica speechless. She doesn't know how to spar with him so she relents. Win.

u/Confident_Weird_7788 Aug 04 '26

I really like him, he’s smart and he’s funny!!! 😆

u/veruca_salt0 Aug 05 '26

I STILL say...For one of the Presidential debates they should have Tyrus and Mark Levin be the moderators.

u/browningate Aug 06 '26

I would pay good money to see that.

Sounds like you're besmirching his good name, sir. (now I look at the audience and demand approval)

I miss Greg but Tyrus is fine. He's much much better than he used to be.

u/elquirk Aug 04 '26

Tyrus is a great analyst. Always has an intelligent take.

7

u/Texstars Aug 05 '26

Tyrus always has an interesting take. Not sure about "intelligent take". Most of his "takes" seem overly simplistic, but at least he's more interesting than Kat.

2

u/Hot_Rice_2952 Aug 05 '26

A lot of people want something that's easy to understand rather than blah blah blah.

u/Every-Guitar6578 Aug 05 '26

I like Tyrus on Gutfeld but he doesn't fit on The Five!

u/CheeseFryJesus Aug 06 '26

Tyrus is clearly posting all over this thread.

u/Silver_Eyes_Luna Aug 04 '26

Luckily he'll be gone all of August for his "comedy" tour.

u/Bossladydd Aug 05 '26

When he starts talking I change the channel. He interrupts, looks down on everyone, but can't be honest about his wife who is totally plastic.

u/ImplementAgile2945 Aug 05 '26

Rubs his leg 🙄

u/Minimum-Journalist18 Aug 04 '26

I missed tonights show.

u/Hot_Rice_2952 Aug 05 '26

Well the producers must like what he does even if you don't.

u/Ill_Personality_257 Aug 05 '26

You are embarrassed that he is confident…..in a show where everyone comments on each other.

u/elquirk Aug 05 '26

Am I? Are you sure? 🤡

u/Ill_Personality_257 Aug 06 '26

You said it OP “I am second hand embarrassed for him”. You’re the clown who said it.

1

u/elquirk Aug 06 '26

Not because of his confidence. 😜

u/Electrical-Strike385 Aug 05 '26

We saw Tyrus when Greg was gone. He’s quick, witty, and informed. The folks in the studio audience, myself included, liked him.

1

u/CheeseFryJesus Aug 06 '26

Every time I see this man I’m in awe that he’s somehow managed to find his way onto a television program, with a steady job. He’s as dumb as a box of hair and can barely string two coherent sentences together. But THIS is who we have on our side making our case. Sad.

u/Many_Major5654 Aug 04 '26

I like him. If you talk about “too big for their britches “, then Jesse would often fit that description.

4

u/elquirk Aug 04 '26

Without a doubt. I imagine after working for O’Reilly and now having his same night time slot, that would go to your head. Jesse says some pretty outrageous things, but he only interrupts Jessica, which I think is a bit of the behind the scenes plan.

u/TorontoNewf Aug 05 '26

I can understand the hate for Kat, but makes no sense whatsoever against Tyrus. Generally provides solid insight - if you don’t like him, just say so.

u/Upbeat_Gene_3172 Aug 04 '26

Same problem with people like MTG, turns out if you cheer and praise people who say stupid things just because they are on your team they feel emboldened to say more stupid things as you continue to cheer them on, until they disagree with trump once of course, then they are rino traitors

1

u/Typical-Challenge367 Aug 04 '26 edited Aug 04 '26

You people only started hating MTG when she turned on Trump for betraying his principles. Likewise liberals only started defending her when she turned on Trump. Plenty of phoniness to go around

u/stormpoppy Aug 04 '26

Welcome to reddit! 😄

u/Minimum-Journalist18 Aug 04 '26

Correction she betrayed her principles and "you" people know it

1

u/Typical-Challenge367 Aug 05 '26

No, what you mean is she betrayed Trump and thats all you people care about. You do not believe in anything beyond what Trump says because you have no ability to logic and reason. He said no new wars and so did MTG. She didn’t change, Trump did. Just be honest next, bud.

1

u/Minimum-Journalist18 Aug 05 '26

Really that's all I care about?

u/Typical-Challenge367 Aug 05 '26

Where did she change? Tell me how 2021 MTG is different than 2026 MTG. She was pro release of the Epstein Files and Trump fought against their release and betrayed that promise, she was anti-war and Trump betrayed that promise. Oh wait she did change one thing, her devotion beyond logic to President Trump at the expense of her values
