1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: South Park targeting President Trump of the Epstein Files in

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: their new episode. I don't know if you've seen it.

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: You probably haven't seen it. I watched it, and it's

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 1: typical south Park satire. It's called Sermon on the Mount.

5
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: It is their season debut. There's season twenty seven. It

6
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: was their premiere, and the episode comes as south Park

7
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: just agreed to a five year, fifty episode, one point

8
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: five billion dollar deal with Paramont. Of course, Paramont owner

9
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: of CBS, and they just had that shake up with

10
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, and Paramount reportedly paid Donald Trump sixty million

11
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: dollars dollars to settle that lawsuit. And now the FCC

12
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:51,319
Speaker 1: has approved sky Dan's acquisition of Paramount, so you know,

13
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: Parker and Stone, they got the deal done and then

14
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: released this episode, which is well, getting Donald Trump okay.

15
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 2: So that's why it's fascinating that the people are like,

16
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 2: they just gave Trump that money over to approve the merger.

17
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 2: They fired Colbert so the government will approved the merger.

18
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous. The south Park guys just went ballistic on Trump.

19
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 2: As my understanding, I haven't seen the episode yet, but

20
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: they got rid of Colbert because the thing was losing

21
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 2: money and they had horrible viewership period. They settled with

22
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 2: Trump because while they probably could have won the case,

23
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: dragging it out just wasn't worth it to them. And

24
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: that's it. That's the long and that's the long and

25
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 2: short of it. Okay, So what was it? Eight billion?

26
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: Was that the price of the merger? The tag the

27
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: price tag on the sky Dancer?

28
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was. It was up there.

29
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: That seems like a lot of money. Although, and so

30
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 2: then it comes back to the conversation. Obviously paramounts a

31
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 2: part of it, right, but CBS is sort of the

32
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 2: big fish in all of this, and it comes to

33
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 2: the conversation that we've had over the last week or so,

34
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: which is how much is broadcast television still worth in

35
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 2: an era where everybody has access to anything they actually want,

36
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: regardless of where the platform is.

37
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting you say that because I know, you

38
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: can watch the south Park episode on Paramount Plus and

39
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: I can get logged in, I can't find it whatever.

40
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 1: I just pulled up on Twitter and the whole episode

41
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: was right there on Twitter. So I didn't pay anything

42
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: to watch it. You know.

43
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 2: The south Park guys are a great example. It's interesting

44
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 2: it's kind of going on with the same company, because

45
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 2: the South Park Colbert thing is a great example of

46
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: where we're at in our world, and that is the

47
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: South Park guys go after everyone. They don't they don't

48
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 2: pull any punch. Is I think they're actually libertarian and

49
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 2: their political ideology.

50
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: I don't know.

51
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 2: It's been many years since I've seen those guys do

52
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 2: an interview. It's been actually many year since I've even

53
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 2: watched an episode of South Park. But if they're still

54
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: to the same, you know, sort of truth that they

55
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 2: used to used to star, they used to walk towards.

56
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 2: They just dislike everybody equally. They don't funny is funny.

57
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: If you're an idiot, you're an idiot. If you're lampoonable,

58
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 2: we're gonna lampoon you, right versus Colbert in which, first

59
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: of all not even funny, but second of all totally

60
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: bias and partisan and unlikable in the way he would

61
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 2: present his program. And thus why these guys have was

62
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: a one point five billion?

63
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: Was that the number?

64
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: That's why they have one point five bill and you're

65
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 2: you're out of a job.

66
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: Skin, Yeah, it does seem like they're equal opportunity offenders.

67
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: They write and produce their shows in just days. They

68
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: said that there's nothing even on the whiteboard for their

69
00:03:55,240 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: next episode. It hasn't even been written yet. And I

70
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: noticed that a lot of the well like MSNBC's of

71
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: the world were reporting how upset everybody in the White

72
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: House is and how Donald Trump is just very angry

73
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: about all of this. I mean, Donald Trump should really

74
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: just come out and say, oh, I thought it was funny,

75
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: and then it goes away. It's like they want the

76
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: rage from him.

77
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, yeah, no, of course of course they do.

78
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 2: But this is this is where we're at in our society,

79
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 2: which is people. I mean, it used to you're old

80
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: enough to remember, this funny used to be a pip

81
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 2: artisan thing, right, no matter who the president was. It

82
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 2: was cool for the late night guy, whether it Lenno, Letterman,

83
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 2: Carson before that two to point out obvious, you know,

84
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 2: ridiculous behavior from those people Saturday Night Live, whether it

85
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: was you know, Ford or Carter, you know, the early

86
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 2: heyday of Saturday Night Live, and then and then rag,

87
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 2: I mean even all the way through Bush. You know,

88
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 2: it's like it didn't matter Republican Democrat who's in there,

89
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 2: they all do stupid stuff. It's okay to laugh at it,

90
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 2: it's okay to point it out. And you can as

91
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 2: a Democrat laugh at how goofy your guy is, and

92
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 2: as a Republican you can laugh at how good. Now

93
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 2: it's just so politicized that people are just like petrified

94
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 2: to laugh at the guy on their side of the eye.

95
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: Well, I'm sure after twenty seven seasons you've seen the

96
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: program at least once. You may not be a regular viewer, right,

97
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: you're talking about South Park, Yeah, is Yeah, you've seen

98
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: it before. I've seen it before. I haven't watched it

99
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: in years, though, However, I returned to see what everybody's

100
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: talking about. And that's the whole point. I think many

101
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 1: people have been doing that, mister president. A lot of

102
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: your supporters are starting to turn against you. I tell

103
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: them to take a rest, So can you please talk

104
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: to them. They're really riled up. God give me that eye.

105
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: We last good
