ted. We've never had an American pope. And I heard some people who know what they're talking about say that in the past when they considered American candidates to be pope, the cardinals decided that they didn't want to make it look like America owned everything. America has the biggest military, has the biggest economy, and they didn't want it also to look like it was leading the Catholic Church.…

So by complete coincidence, toddling around getting ready to go to bed early as I like to do, and I had Fox News on. There was one of the Fox News contributors, I guess maybe contributor is the right word, Cameron Kinsey. She's 24 years old. She's got long blonde hair if you've seen her before. And I don't know the host. The Fox News host was not familiar to me. So he wasn't one of the name brand famous ones. He looked like he was a fill-in kind of host who does the weird hours or something.
The Fox News host gives her a question and I'm sort of half paying attention while doing other things. And she starts to answer the question and then all of a sudden she just stops talking in the middle of her answer which of course caused me to look at the screen to see what was happening. And all of a sudden, and this is nothing to laugh at because we don't know if she's okay yet, I think she is but we don't know, she simply goes and just falls off her chair on the floor right next to the host.
How many of you saw that? You may have seen the clip this morning but if you saw it live it was super unsettling. But it got even more unsettling because of the way the host handled it. So that's the funny part. Now again there's nothing funny about this if she has some real medical problem but I think the fact that we haven't heard an update probably means it was just some kind of ordinary fainting attack and that she's fine.
So she's laying on the floor. We still don't know if she's okay. It looked like one of the technical people ran in to see what was what. And so the host immediately calls for help. He goes "Oh we need some help here." Immediately, just as he should. But then the host doesn't know what to do because they're still on air and he's got another guest that he has a question for while his colleague is laying on the ground next to his feet. And he's probably thinking to himself "How do I play this? Do I just stop the show?" And he decides that his best way to play it is to just throw a question to the next guest. Which I'm no expert in these things. I'm no medical doctor nor am I a TV show host. But I'll tell you what the wrong answer was. The wrong answer was to throw a question to the next guest while she's lying on the floor next to his feet.
And again there's nothing funny about it if anything bad happened to her. So I'm hoping that I can make fun of the host of the show without any of that disrespect going to her because we don't know what happened. It could be worse than it looked. I don't know.
But then you could almost hear the producers. So he starts to just go on with the show while she's still laying there on the floor. You couldn't see her but you knew that she had to be laying there because of where the chairs were. And then he goes "Oh I guess we're going to a commercial."
So in case this ever happens to you, and by the way I was trying to imagine if any other host on Fox News would have played it the same way. And I'm trying to imagine Hannity, if that happened on a Hannity show, he would take his earpiece out. He would say we got a problem here. He would have immediately gotten out of his chair and he would have been on the ground even if the camera couldn't follow him. And he would have probably said while he was doing it "cut to commercial." He would have just taken charge. And you could put in a bunch of other hosts of Fox News who would have played it the same way. But the right answer is to immediately stop the program. There's no second way to play that. You immediately get

down on the ground and see if you can be useful or at least find out what's going on. And if the producers want to go to a commercial, well let them go to a commercial but that's not your problem right now. So that's my advice. All right. So that weird thing was happening. And then a little bit later, like almost the same time, I switched to CNN and I learned that Judge Jeanine from Fox News, you…
