Josh Stamberg: Bill Shine

Quotes 

• Bill Shine : The White House is furious about Beck. They're freezing out Chris Wallace from Sunday's presidential interviews.

  Roger Ailes : Fuck these people. You know what? Tell Beck we're gonna run that fucking video.

  Bill Shine : Will do.

  Glenn Beck : [later, as his show goes on the air]  The activist group with strong ties to President Barack Obama, ACORN - the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. Reform? Government-funded radicals who take your hard-earned tax dollars and hand it out like candy. In fact, we've got proof of them encouraging prostitution and covering it up so the government never knows. Let's take a quick look, and then we'll break it down. This was captured by some hard-working, brave journalists who went undercover to ACORN at great risk.

• Brian Lewis : Okay, we say Beck's views do not represent the views of Fox News or News Corp, and then we figure out what the fuck to do with him.

  Bill Shine : Have you seen his numbers? We should give him *more* airtime.

  Roger Ailes : [coming in]  What's all the ruckus?

  Brian Lewis : Beck straight-up called Obama a racist on "Fox & Friends."

  Roger Ailes : Well, he's not wrong.

  Brian Lewis : Jesus Christ, Roger. We can't just say that. Okay, we have to put out a statement. We have to get ahead of this.

  Roger Ailes : Okay, fine. But, you know, let's just not rise to the occasion when there's no occasion. Just to be clear, we're fully committed to Glenn, we're fully committed to his show.

  Brian Lewis : "Fair and balanced" doesn't mean a whole lot when one of your stars calls the president a racist. Okay, it makes it a little hard to protect the brand.

  Roger Ailes : I'll decide what the brand is. You put out the fires. I'll talk to Glenn. Racist? He just called him a racist?

  Brian Lewis : Yeah, that's what he said.

  Roger Ailes : [trying to stifle laughter]  He's a funny guy.

• Roger Ailes : [watching David Axelrod on TV]  This is bullshit. This White House hates America, hates capitalism, hates anyone who's not in lockstep with their way of thinking. We're not gonna put up with it. We're not gonna roll over for these fuckers. Every time they bring up a talking point, we're gonna counter it. They say "progressive," we're gonna say "socialist." They say "safety net," we're gonna say "welfare cheat." They say "healthcare," we're gonna say "fucking death panels." Just push the message: socialist. Muslim. Un-American. Just keep hitting those things over and over again, keep hitting them. You know, we don't even have any fucking proof that Obama is a citizen.

  Bill Shine : Did you feed that to Trump? He was just on "The View" questioning Obama's birth certificate.

  Roger Ailes : We might have had a dinner. Which reminds me, get Donald a spot on "Fox & Friends." He's always good for ratings.

  Bill Shine : You know he's been making noises about running for president again.

  Roger Ailes : Well, that makes it even better. Fuck you, Axelrod. Fuck that guy.
