Recently, on Fox News’ “The Five,” tensions flared during a segment discussing the presidential campaigns of Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump. Co-hosts Jesse Watters and Jessica Tarlov found themselves in a heated exchange when Watters offered his views on the Biden administration.
Watters highlighted various challenges facing Biden’s campaign, incIuding dissatisfaction among Americans with the current state of the economy. Additionally, he criticized Biden for seeking endorsements from cultural figures like Taylor Swift, characterizing it as a sign of desperation.
Referencing a New York Times report on Biden’s reelection strategy, Watters remarked, “Nothing to do with each other. I read this article in The New York Times, this is the Biden reelection strategy, are you ready? Don’t run on ‘Bidenomics’, leave the White House more than once a week, ask Bill and Barack to raise money for you and hope a pop star endorses you. Jessica, this is not the reelection strategy of a winning campaign.”
In response, Tarlov brought up the E. Jean Carroll controversy invoIving Trump. She referenced a recent New York jury decision ordering Trump to pay over $83 million in damages to Carroll for defamation related to her se**al assault accusations.
Watters countered by expressing his desire for Swift’s endorsement, adding, “I love that you ignored what I just said. Because that was the news from the weekend on that side. And then Joe Biden was 15 minutes—“
The panel continued to spar, with TarIov pressing Watters on the Carroll case verdict. Trump, meanwhile, voiced his disagreement with the jury’s decision, stating his intention to appeal the case and criticizing what he perceived as a politicized legal system.
“Absolutely ridiculous! I fully disagree with both verdicts, and will be appealing this whole Biden Directed Witch Hunt focused on me and the Republican Party. Our LegaI System is out of control, and being used as a Political Weapon. They have taken away all First Amendment Rights. THIS IS NOT AMERICA!” Trump remarked regarding the legal proceedings
I Love This Bar by Toby Keith
If you are a fan of country music, you might be familiar with the song “I Love This Bar” by Toby Keith. It is one of his most popular and successful songs, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart in 2003. But do you know the story behind the song and what inspired Keith to write it?
According to Wikipedia, Keith wrote this song with his friend and fellow songwriter Scotty Emerick. They were inspired by a bar they visited in Syracuse, New York, where they saw a diverse crowd of people having fun and enjoying themselves. They decided to write a song that celebrates the bar culture and the sense of community it creates.
The song describes various characters that frequent the bar, such as bikers, yuppies, college kids, soldiers, and farmers. Keith sings about how he loves the bar for its atmosphere, music, drinks, and friendly staff. He also mentions some of the features of the bar, such as a jukebox, a dance floor, a pool table, and a big TV screen.
The song’s title also inspired a chain of restaurants owned by Keith named Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar & Grill. The restaurants feature live music, memorabilia, and southern-style food. The first one opened in 2005 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and since then more than 20 locations have been opened across the US.
You can listen to the song on Spotify or watch the official music video on YouTube. You can also read more about the meaning behind the song on this website.
