No jokes. No satirical asides. Just an iconic show abandoning its core principles to praise Donald Trump\u2019s opponent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI literally remember saying this, \u2018what the [bleep] did I just watch? Where\u2019s the punchline?\u201d says Concha, who leaned on those memories while writing his new book.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B09T3JHJ5L\/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Come on, Man! The Truth About Joe Biden\u2019s Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Presidency<\/a>\u201d does more than skewer the 46th Commander in Chief. Concha, a regular presence on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/person\/c\/joe-concha\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/author\/joe-concha\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TheHill.com<\/a>, slams pop culture for propping up the elderly leader.<\/p>\n<p>The right-leaning Concha started the book eager to make the case that Biden\u2019s first two years were \u201cterrible, horrible.\u201d He sent along the final draft further convinced of his theory.<\/p>\n<p>A leader framed as a moderate poured gasoline on the cultural fires, early and often.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were sold otherwise,\u201d says Concha, similarly aghast at raging inflation rates, a sieve-like border and cashless bail policies spiking crime rates nationwide. The man tasked with uniting the country called half the nation \u201csemi-fascist,\u201d \u201clike the Diet Coke of fascism,\u201d Concha cracks.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\u201cLess than a month ago in these pages I warned that President Joe Biden\u2019s dangerous rhetoric, calling American citizens semi-fascists, and MAGA extremists was very likely to lead to political violence. And here we are.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/29tPyU8PsL\">https:\/\/t.co\/29tPyU8PsL<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 David Marcus (@BlueBoxDave) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BlueBoxDave\/status\/1574717478063804416?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 27, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The news media has done all it can to distract Americans from Biden\u2019s radicalism and wobbly mental state. So, too, have comedians eager to keep taunting Trump no matter what Biden does or says.<\/p>\n<p>Like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/wheres-jackie-biden-seeks-lawmaker-walorski-who-died-august-2022-09-28\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">calling for a deceased Congresswoman<\/a> at an event near and dear to her heart.<\/p>\n<p>The late night comedians of yore, Concha says, would have feasted on the gargantuan gaffe. Instead, outgoing host <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/entertainment\/trevor-noah-mocks-biden-for-looking-for-dead-congresswoman-at-least-he-noticed-she-wasnt-there\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trevor Noah brought it up<\/a> without the kind of energy he reserves for a GOP miscue. Noah\u2019s competitors couldn\u2019t be bothered to pounce, or seize, on it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLate night hosts have become activists serving at the pleasure of their party,\u201d he says, one reason Fox News\u2019 \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/gutfeld-ratings-gen-z-millennials\/\">Gutfeld!\u201d is leading the pack<\/a> with \u201cone-tenth the resources.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s found his niche audience \u2026 half the country,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n<p>Concha pines for a time when late night comics would tease and torment world leaders but still share a laugh with them when the cameras went dark. It\u2019s how \u201cSNL\u201d legend Dana Carvey treated the gig, mocking President George H. W. Bush on screen and, later, joking with him at the White House.<\/p>\n<p>Compare that, Concha says, to Alec Baldwin\u2019s \u201cmean-spirited\u201d take on Trump for five relentness years.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the late night landscape brims with<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/noah-fallon-colbert-kamala-harris\/\"> lectures over laughs.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t tell the difference between [Jimmy] Kimmel and [Stephen] Colbert,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Comedy in general is under attack, both from progressive scolds and a woke mindset that considers Identity Politics the prime directive. \u2018<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou will never see the show \u2018Friends,\u2019 or anything like it, ever again. Six straight white people? There would literally be boycotts,\u201d he says. \u201c\u2018Seinfeld,\u2019 the greatest comedy of all time, didn\u2019t have a lot of minority characters. No one talked about it at the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Concha wouldn\u2019t be at home on MSNBC or \u201cThe Young Turks,\u201d but he bristles at being dismissed as a conservative pundit. He\u2019d rather be known as the sole member of the Pragmatic Party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t spend what you don\u2019t have \u2026 is that conservative? I think it\u2019s common sense,\u201d he says. \u201cDo I want more police on the street? Yeah, it\u2019s not a conservative position. I\u2019m just a dad and a husband.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration is encouraging people to break the rules, he says, pointing to the porous U.S.-Mexico border as one stark example.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy wife\u2019s a doctor. Her hospital is overrun, and half the time [patients] don\u2019t have ID on them. It\u2019s not \u2018conservative\u2019 [to object],\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s just common sense things I want to be fixed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joe Concha and Rob Schneider have something in common.
