Fox News host Shepard Smith just lost a bet to give White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest "every penny he will ever make" at Fox News. See? This is why I don't gamble.

Just in case you did not hear that clearly, here is a transcript of the exchange courtesy of Newscorpse: 

Earnest: We are going to have Muslim majority countries, Muslim led countries, as part of this coalition. This is not going to be the United States against ISIL. This will be the international community, including the Muslim world, against these extremists. 

Smith: Like Saudi Arabia’s going to have some boots over there, or Jordan. 

Earnest: Well, I will let the individual members of the coalition announce the commitments that they’re prepared to make. 

Smith: There will be no commitment from those two. On this I will bet every penny I will ever make at this network. 

Earnest: That’s a substantial bet. 

Smith: It is a big bet, and it is a good bet, because it’s not going to happen and the whole world knows it.

That was from last week, and now as all of you undoubtedly now know the President launched air attacks against ISIL. And the Pentagon issued this report as to who provided support in the fight:  

U.S. military forces and partner nations, including Bahrain, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, undertook military action against ISIL terrorists in Syria overnight, according to a U.S. Central Command news release. 

Wait, Saudi Arabia AND Jordan? 

But that would mean that Shepard Smith is now working for Fox News without compensation, as all of that now goes to Josh Earnest. I mean unless Smith is not a man of his word that is.

What am I saying? He works for Fox News. Those people are overflowing with integrity.

Right?
