The following is a transcript of a secret meeting at Fox News headquarters in New York, held on Saturday, December 5:
Roger Ailes: Okay, people! Pipe down. Mr. Murdoch would like to have a word. Mr. Murdoch?
Rupert Murdoch: Thank you, Roger. And good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us today. What I have to say is of great import, and it is good that you're all here to take part.
Sean Hannity: Thank you for asking us, sir. It is my...
Roger Ailes: Shut up, Hannity! You trained ape. Speak when you're spoken to.
Rupert Murdoch: Thank you, Roger. Let us begin: We are at a crossroads if you will, and, as Roger is so fond of saying, "It's time that we scorch the earth."
Rudolph Guiliani: Excuse me, Mr. Murdoch, but we're out there en masse, pointing out how the police who committed the murders are the heroes and the black victims are the thugs. We've established the social divide we were looking for sir.
Bill O'Reilly: I've got to say that I agree with Rudy, Rupert. This is working better than the Gipper's old, 'welfare queens in mink stoles, driving Cadillacs'. (everyone laughs) God bless Ronald Reagan. He made the red states red. What more can we do?
Rupert Murdoch: If you gentlemen will allow me time to explain, I think you'll understand. We all agree that we here at Fox have helped to maintain and even broaden Reagan's great divide. We've vilified the victims, all that, yes, but we need to do something more, something very different, and that's why I've called you all here. I want you to consider this: A hundred years ago, there was a rabble-rousing uppity black bastard named W.E.B. Dubois who argued that what black people needed to do if they wanted to rise up in society was to educate the most talented 10% of their population, in arts, sciences, music, math, and law. In that manner, he argued, this 10% could serve as role models for the rest of their race to follow up the ladder.
Mike Huckaby: How is that a problem, sir?
Rupert Murdoch: Good question, hillbilly Mike. I'll tell you how it's a problem. Dubois' ideas didn't work, not for a long time. But in the past few years, somehow, they've begun to take hold, and we've got to do something about it. Oh, we've maintained our segregation and the servant class, but something began to happen, slowly but surely, from the 1950's onward, slowly integrating, until we finally struck back and established the great divide in the 80's. But when we weren't looking the tide began to turn on us again. They got this goddamned Obama, and with him came the idea that anything is possible. That's the problem. Now, as I look around, everything is going straight to hell. It's no longer the divide we need to worry about, boys. We've got half the whites hating so much, we barely need to lift a finger to stir them up. It's the head we now need to worry about, the role models who show the way. And it's not just Obama and politics we need to attack, it's other areas, like science and sports and entertainment. Take this basketball player, Lebron James.
Megan Kelly: He's the greatest player of all time, no doubt about that. But excuse me sir, black people have ruled basketball since the 1950's, when schools began to integrate.
Rupert Murdoch: Point taken, eye candy. But I'd really rather look at your perfect ass than listen to you talk, okedoke? You're missing the fact that this Lebron is teaching the other darky players that the idea is to pass the ball. He's a team player, fundamentally perfect, not a one-on-one, dribble and jump like a kangaroo stereotypical black ball player like that Jordan boy was. Jordan was perfect for our purpose with his me-first dribble and shoot attitude and his little Nike logo and all his millions, keeping the boys on the playgrounds jumping, dribbling, smoking crack, dreaming of Jordan's shoes. We've got to keep them wanting those shoes. This James fellow is dangerous. When they watch him, they learn to work together. And in golf? Oh my God, how far we've fallen back. 70 short years ago a colored boy couldn't even play golf at Augusta National Golf Club. Oh, the good old days. We've got to get them back. Now the old boys at Augusta have had to restructure their grand old course to try and stop this Tiger Woods. Do you know how many darkies use that Woods boy as a role model? He's our worst nightmare. Even the liberal white boys who whine about social injustice root for him. It's a problem. I'm telling you all. It's the Dubois nightmare come true: the darkies are following Obama and James and Woods, and in no time...
Bill O'Reilly: And in no time, they'll pass us by. My God, sir, you are right. I hadn't thought of it that way. The divide is no longer our primary worry. It's cutting off the head. We've done our best to destroy Obama, and yet he perseveres, a dark knight for them all, and now, with his immigration charade....
Sean Hannity: With his immigration charade the beige animal spics are going to turn on us and vote Democratic forever...the divide will no longer work.
Roger Ailes: Shut the hell up, Hannity. If I want my pet monkey to talk, I'll pull your chain.
Rupert Murdoch: Thank you, Roger. And Sean, Reagan's divide is here to stay. It's in our rear view. What I'm talking about is cutting off all the various heads of the beast so the others have no one to follow. Cut off Obama and this James and Woods and how about that Denzel Washington? Far too hoity toity. Do you remember that whipping scene in "Glory"? I could feel in my bones 10 million coloreds, rising up like some black nightmare, as they watched the angry, powerful look in Washington's eye. It makes me shiver, just thinking of it. We want them watching the dumb stuff, those Tyler Perry "Madea" movies. That's one way to cut off the head. Divert them to the dumb stuff.
Andrew Napolitano: You're so right, Mr. Murdoch. And it's not just politics and music and sports where they've got role models, no sir, they're rising up in science. I was reading just yesterday, blacks have something like 50% of the top scientists worldwide now. There's that chemist, William M. Jackson at Cal-Davis, and that atmospheric climate change darky kook Warren Washington at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, selling his notions about global warming. My God, you are so right. They're taking over the government. There's that woman engineer at NASA, what's her name, Aprille Ericsson or something like that. The bitch was born in the projects in Bedford Styvesant, but she went to MIT, and now she's doing some sort of heat measurement in the tropics. Hells bells, this is crazy. They're leading the whites on a global warming jihad, and there are millions more, just like them. They're not just leading blacks, they're leading whites. I hadn't thought of it in this light. You're so right, Mr. Murdoch. We've got a problem.
Megan Kelly: I was watching Neil deGrasse Tyson the other night on "The Daily Show", and...
Roger Ailes: We don't say the name of that show in here, young lady! How dare you?!
Megan Kelly: I'm sorry, I was just going to say that Tyson is a problem, too, you know, because he's a physicist and all, just as the Judge was saying. Anyway, he said to Stewart something about how people vote to promote scientific literacy if they're literate or something like that, which makes me think he wants people to be literate, which seems dangerous. It was pretty complicated, but it sounded kooky and elitist, you know, like they are.
Roger Ailes: That's a girl with your fine ass and face and all. That's more like it. What a babe.
Laura Ingraham: F@#cking Obama. It's f@#king Obama who I hate. I could slice him with my chin.
Roger Ailes: Save it for the camera Ingraham, you moronic ugly anorexic viper skank! This is man talk.
Rudolph Guiliani: So don't we get to keep talking about how the cops are heroes when they kill the thugs? I like doing that. That's where I'm a Viking.
Roger Ailes: Good God. Guiliani, you befuddled tool. I'm putting you on the same leash as Hannity and Ingraham. Keep your goddam mouth shut. I'm sorry, Mr. Murdoch, please continue.
Rupert Murdoch: Thank you, Roger. It's really quite simple. And Rudy, of course, we want you to continue monitoring and supporting Reagan's divide. The cops are heroes, the victims thugs. But we're talking now about the head. We need to cut them off at the top. We've conducted our all out blitz on Obama, and we've made real progress. Just imagine where he'd be if not for us. But to cut off the rest of the collective black heads, if you will, we've got our work cut out for us. We'll begin by identifying everyone who's a threat and then set out systematically to tear them down. Just as it's now commonplace to hear things like "Obama the socialist with his Obamacare", we'll tear these scientists and athletes and actors down as well. We'll make them villains in no time. We just need a plan.
Bill O'Reilly: I'm on board, sir. How about this idea? Fat Rush the Rabble Rouser plays golf, and he's good friends with Tom Watson. If we can get Fat Rush off the couch long enough, stop him from swilling his overpriced brandy, eating potato chips, farting and smelling his own fingers, maybe we can get him to talk with Watson about making a more concerted effort to tear Tiger Woods down with a vengeance. Watson has real credibility on the tour. At least he did before the Ryder Cup. I think he might be a help.
Rupert Murdoch: There you are, mate. That's the idea, and you're on the right track. We've got to make them all look dangerous. Obama's a commie Muslim socialist who hates America, Woods is an uncivilized monkey.
(everyone laughs)
Andrew Napolitano: We can up the ante on these scientists. I'm sure men like S.E. Cupp from the Heritage Foundation and economist Nicholas Loris will lend a hand. They're both on board to shill at the drop of a hat. And they can both argue climate change with the best of them, you'd better believe it.
Rupert Murdoch: Now we're cooking. Great idea, Judge. Anyone from the Heritage Foundation is perfect for our purpose.
Bill O'Reilly: And there are others. That panty wad gas bag George Will and facist Samuelson will both chip in if we ask. But I'm concerned. What on earth do we do with Denzel Washington and Lebron James and their ilk? I don't see how we can possibly tear them down.
Rupert Murdoch: Use your imagination Bill Boy. It's simple. We plant some evidence, make up some fake videos, anything to discredit. People will buy whatever we're selling. We've got whores out in Hollywood who would love to claim that Denzel raped them. We'll go Cosby on his black ass. And we own the police department up in Cleveland. How about if a wheel barrow full of crack somehow shows up in the trunk of Lebron James's Bentley? Just use your imagination, people. The important thing is that we're all on board, working hard. We long ago won the battle to strike fear and divide. We now call that divide the Tea Party and the Red States, if I'm not mistaken. Our task now is to cut off the head, cut off that damned W.E.B. Dubois talented 10% head, put these black bastards back to the days of Reagan's 80's and 90's, when they all followed the likes of that fat illiterate low life rapper, Biggy Smalls. What a hoot. Cut off the head, boys. That's the ticket. To have white cops strangle and shoot the poor louts at the bottom is only half the battle. Now we scorch the earth: Cut off the head, boys. Cut off the head.
