1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: If the Washington Post is not dead, it's on life support.

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: And so, to answer the question, we may now be

3
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 1: seeing the end of the Washington Post. This was the

4
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: paper that broke Watergate. This was the paper of the

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: liberal democratic establishment for over fifty years, along with the

6
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: New York Times. And yet while the New York Times despicable,

7
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: mendacious a paper that it is, it still has subscribers

8
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: and readers. The Washington Post readership has absolutely cratered, and

9
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 1: the executive editor or the former executive editor, is now

10
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: trying to blame Jeff Bezos and the latest round of layoffs,

11
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 1: over three hundred journalists have been fired. Entire sections now

12
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: have been eliminated, the sports section, which was garbage anyway,

13
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: the book section garbage anyway. A lot of their reporters

14
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: now are gone. The Post is being hollowed out. But

15
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: rather than blaming its owner Jeff Bezos, as many of

16
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: these laid off journalists are doing, these posts should be

17
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: looking at themselves in the mirror. Who pedaled the Russia

18
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: collusion hoax? They did, the Hunter Biden laptop hoax? They

19
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: did who covered up for Joe Biden's sinility and lied

20
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: to its readers and to the country day after day

21
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: after day they did. The Post lost the trust of

22
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: the American people. And on top of that, and this

23
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: is why the layoffs were necessary, and this is why

24
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: they should look in the mirror for why the paper

25
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: has failed and why it's been gutted. It was losing

26
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars a year. Let me repeat that,

27
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars a year. And Jeff Bezos concluded,

28
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: I'm not running a charity. I'm running a newspaper that,

29
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: at minimum, bare minimum, if it's not going to make money,

30
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: should at least break even. And so the fact is

31
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: that the anti Trump leftism, the fact that it was

32
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 1: a mouthpiece for the Democratic Party, that it had lost

33
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: all credibility because all it did was pedal lie after lie,

34
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: false story after false story. The Washington Post lost its way,

35
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,119
Speaker 1: lost its identity, It lost the trust of its readership.

36
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: It was seen increasingly as a joke and a Democratic rag.

37
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: And say what you want about The New York Times.

38
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: It's bad, it's left wing. It's propaganda, but at least

39
00:02:54,320 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 1: its readable propaganda. Their columnists write better, their pro is livelier.

40
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: The New York Times is actually sort of like MS

41
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: now it is at the cutting edge of left wing radicalism.

42
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: The Post, meanwhile, was stayed dry, boring, predictable. These journalists

43
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: have no one else to blame but themselves. They put

44
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: out a garbage product, and they were hemorrhaging bleeding cash,

45
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: and now they want us to feel sorry for them.

46
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: I don't think so. The Washington Post is now in

47
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: its dying days. It is now in its deathbed. And

48
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: I'll be brutally honest with you. I hope Jeff Bezos

49
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: sells it to a conservative and we get an actual,

50
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: real conservative newspaper in Washington, DC. Now, that would be

51
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: a massive blow against the face news media. The Washington

52
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: Post rest in peace. Nobody will miss you.
