1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,519
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Leary. Now you know this guy, he's mister Wonderful

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: from Shark Tank. He was on CNN, he's been on

3
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: CNN a lot lately, and they have this little back

4
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: and forth and he's predicting that CBS will actually fire

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert before he can finish out his contract.

6
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 2: But he got fired before Trump said a word. Forty

7
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 2: six points actually for his firing. Very sential explanation.

8
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 3: Okay, let me respond to what you said. Trump called

9
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 3: for his firing last fall.

10
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 2: Just to be clear, let's talk about what actually happened.

11
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 2: Forty six point two million dollars in losses on a

12
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 2: franchise that's forty years old. It's old, it's dead, and

13
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,919
Speaker 2: unfortunately for all of the category, people are geometrically not

14
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 2: watching late night TV anymore. Here's the problem for Colbert.

15
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: His contract is a payout contract through a transaction where

16
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 2: there's a change of control. Only a moron would tell

17
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 2: the president to f off before he gets his check. Okay,

18
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 2: So what's going to happen now, in my opinion is

19
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 2: tomorrow CBS, his boss will fire him and they will

20
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: litigate for the next five years his payout fire hostep

21
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 2: no fire this I want to go to people.

22
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: Never get us all that talking all at the same time.

23
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: That was that was entertaining.

24
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 3: It is part of a There is no hammer today

25
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 3: right now.

26
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: He's going to join us at the end of the show.

27
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 3: Okay, very good, So no next segment, so we can

28
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 3: run just a little longer. The bigger problem here is

29
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:44,559
Speaker 3: that mainstream media and I remember this conversation twenty years

30
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 3: ago when HD radio became a thing and it was

31
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 3: battling satellite radio in the time, and I remember that

32
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 3: the industry had the HD technology way before satellite became

33
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 3: a thing, and they sat on it and fought with

34
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 3: each other for a long time on how to dole

35
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 3: it out, who got the frequencies, how to do that,

36
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 3: and so that came along and took it from them.

37
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 3: What could have been theirs went to satellite radio. And

38
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 3: this is just the continuation of this where mainstream media

39
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 3: operates in some dinosaur like fashion where they're not nimble,

40
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 3: they're not able to keep up, they're not capable, and

41
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 3: thus they're just getting they're just getting replaced. He's right,

42
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 3: they don't need this anymore. You've got to give the

43
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 3: people what they want, you've got to meet them where

44
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 3: they are. Why do people listen to this radio show

45
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 3: every day? We say things, and we talk about things,

46
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 3: and we challenge people the way they're not going to be.

47
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 3: They're not going to hear it anywhere else. You have

48
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 3: to give people something they can't get anywhere else, and

49
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 3: Late Night Talk is simply not doing anything that remotely

50
00:02:58,880 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 3: resembles that
