So much happening in Washington. We don't want 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:27.720 to let anything go uncovered. There was a hearing that 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:33.120 was taking place and it has to do with Joe Biden, 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:36.399 his brother. The catastrophe that ensued as a result of 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:40.760 his failed policies. And Senator Ashley Moody from my free 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:44.120 state of Florida, former Attorney General of Florida, watched the 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:48.480 Biden administration put the safety of American families at risk. 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:52.240 And here is what she says. She uncovered, And. 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:56.480 As I pursued litigation, a judge said, Biden and his 0:01:56.560 --> 0:02:00.760 administration has turned our border into nothing more than a 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:04.880 meaningless line in the sand. And when there were warnings 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:07.840 that our border would be overrun when Title forty two 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:12.440 was expiring, Florida uncovered documents saying that their grand plan 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:16.920 was to step back and let it be overrun. And 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:20.840 in my litigation as Florida's Attorney General, I uncovered that 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:23.480 not only were they pushing more and more and more 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:27.320 and more and more historic numbers into our country, unvetted 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:31.920 that they established quote US every day to make sure 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:35.280 that border patrol pushed a certain amount of numbers into 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:38.919 our country that was barely vetted. So, as Attorney General, 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:41.680 when I had sheriffs from all over my state calling 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:45.920 me to say that the Biden administration was canceling detainers 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:48.519 on criminals in their jails and telling them to release 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:49.919 them back into the communities. 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:53.320 I was horrified, all right, Senator Ashley Moody from Florida 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:55.920 joins us. Now, Senator, can you give us more details 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:59.040 about this? We know that they lied when they repeatedly 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:02.040 said the border's clubs, the border secure, the border's closed, 0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:06.800 border secure. It infuriates me beyond words that all of 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:09.960 these people that have been murdered and raped and victims 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:13.720 of violent crime, the Democrats never talk about them. They 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:17.679 are putting the rights of so called rights of illegals 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:20.640 over the safety of Americans. That infuriates me. But let's 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:22.760 get to the specifics of what you uncovered. 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:27.280 Yeah, and this is why I am so not only 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:32.440 honored but really passion driven in the Senate now to 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:36.600 be able to use my background as Attorney General and 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:41.280 everything that I saw happening under the Biden administration and 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:43.880 bring it to the forefront, make sure the people know 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:47.160 what their government was doing to them, to their communities 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:52.520 on purpose. And it has really been just an incredible 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:56.040 six months as the newest United States senator. But you're right. 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:58.840 We had a hearing this week and it was to 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:03.800 show what Biden did intentionally to the border and pushing 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:07.680 people here into our communities that were unvetted, knowing that 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:10.400 many of these were criminals and pushing them into our 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.880 communities and to be able to shine a light on that. 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:16.680 And you know, Sean, we're seeing this all over the 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:20.640 place with agencies right now in terms of the real 0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:23.760 intentions of what the government was trying to do. And 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:25.840 now we're uncovering it now that we have a new 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:28.279 administration in here, and they're going back and saying, wait 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:30.000 a minute, not only. 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:30.320 Was this. 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:35.360 Moral, it was downright illegal. We see that happening in 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:38.560 so many different levels right now. I think it's important 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:43.119 that we stay on this immigration hunt, if you will, 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:48.479 because majoritist was brought before Congress on numerous times, and 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:50.719 like you said, he said, the border is secure, the 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:54.080 border is secure, the border is secure. Meanwhile, those hearings 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:58.359 were conducted while the government agencies under Biden were holding 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:02.159 on to all of the documents disproved what he was saying. 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:03.599 He was being deceit. 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:07.159 But Senator, isn't it bigger than documents? I mean, I 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:10.599 was documenting all of it in real time by showing 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:14.280 the videos of wide open borders and the thousands of 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:19.320 and thousands of unvetted illegals pouring across that border. It 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:22.599 was self evident to anybody with eyes to see. What 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:25.839 we didn't know exactly at the time is that known 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:29.080 terrorists were among those people that entered our country illegally. 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:32.919 We have Iranian assassination squads in the country. We know 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:36.200 we have murderers and rapists and other violent criminals and 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:38.800 cartel members and gang members and drug dealers in the 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:42.000 country too. We don't even have an exact number. It's 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:45.480 an estimate anywhere between what ten, twelve and twenty million 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:47.960 people that they allowed into this country unvetted. 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:50.760 Yes, yeah, And I think what I'm trying to get 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.960 at is you are absolutely right. The American people could 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:57.799 see with our eyes, and you accurately and repeatedly reported 0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:01.040 what was happening. But what the what they did at 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:03.800 share with us was that in month one, when he 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:06.800 was putting out his plans and policies and executive orders, 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:10.479 his own administration said, if you do this, the border 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:13.320 will be overrun. We will not have the ability to 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:16.000 contain this, and we will not be able to control 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:19.560 who's coming into the country. They knew it intentionally. They 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:22.120 went ahead and broke down the borders we only got 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:25.760 those documents a week before when we were forcing them 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:28.479 to trial. They held on to them until they release 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:31.400 them to us. And I think what that shows is 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:34.599 there was app is this time and time again when 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:38.359 they said the border is secure and we are not 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:43.839 jeopardizing this country and we're not releasing criminals. We have 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:46.159 been able to show that they not only were telling 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:49.320 sheriff to release people into the community the witness testified 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:52.880 at the hearing this week, we're also able to show 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.720 that they took prisoners out of the federal prisons that 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:59.120 were here only because they committed crimes and pushed them 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:02.120 back into our community these as opposed to deporting them. So, 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:05.560 you know, really getting down to the intention of that 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:09.320 administration and what they were purposefully doing to this country 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:12.520 and to families and communities, I think is so important. 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:15.280 And I think John Cornyn and other members of the 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:18.400 judiciary who joined me in highlighting that deception. 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:22.320 I have been saying that they have blood on their hands, 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:25.120 and I also have said that if God forbidden, I 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:27.760 pray to God I'm wrong. I think it's a matter 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:30.480 of when, not if, that these terrorists that they led 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:33.000 into the country. We know that they're plotting, planning, and 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:36.040 scheming an attack on our homeland. They'll have more blood 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:38.480 on their hands. Let me ask you this, if you 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:41.880 are one of the families that thousands of families where 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:45.200 you had a loved one that was murdered or raped 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:48.400 or victims of violent crime, and they were sitting there 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:52.560 knowingly lying to us, is what you're saying, Is there 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:55.880 any legal recourse? You know? I mean you were the 0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:57.320 Attorney General of Florida. 0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:59.600 Absolutely, I mean you're already seeing it in some of 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:03.720 these other things that were uncovering, were referring to the 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:08.640 FBI and to DOJ cases where people might not have 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:11.520 been truthful with Congress. I mean, I believe that my 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:15.720 Orcis lied to Congress, and I don't think at the 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:16.480 time when. 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:19.320 Don't you think they all lied when they said the 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:21.320 border was secure when they knew otherwise. 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.320 When I was uncovering these documents, when the chief of 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:28.440 Border Patrol was saying, you know, we are pushing dangerous 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:30.800 people into this country and the plan was to let 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:35.199 it be overrun, and Mayorcis was saying differently, I absolutely 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:39.559 believe he deceived Congress, knowingly deceives Congress. 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:42.160 And I think well, that in and of itself is 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.840 a crime. If I go before your Senate committee and 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:46.840 I willfully lie, isn't that a crime? 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:49.480 It is a crime. I think it needs to be 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:52.000 looked at, and I do believe it will be. You know, 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:55.280 I can't understand how we have the documents that showed 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:58.720 their own people said that they would be overrun, their overrun. 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:01.600 And then he comes to Congress and says, all is well, 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:04.640 it was the biggest gas lighting of the American people 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:08.120 and the history of our country. It was an invasion. 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:11.200 What do you think the purpose of this was? Was this? 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:15.880 You know, if you if you discussed the possibility that 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:20.680 their hope was to offer something of great value, American 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:26.040 citizenship to large masses of people, that that would benefit 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:29.360 them in the long run, especially if there's close elections 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:31.959 and you have twelve million people, you give them citizenship, 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:34.640 you know, well, that's the great white replacement theory. No, 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:39.000 it's not the great white replacement theory because in favor 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:41.559 of legal immigration, and I don't care where you come from, 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:43.880 but we do need to vet you. We need to 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:46.280 know you don't have radical associations. We do need a 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:48.280 health check and we need to know you're not going 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:51.400 to be a financial burden on the American people after that. 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:54.120 I really don't care where you come from. Welcome to 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:57.720 the country, Thanks for coming in legally. So do you 0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:02.040 think this was all designed with a grand scheme to 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:08.480 offer citizenship and hence creative a voting base of grateful 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:12.000 people that you gave them free, free citizenships. 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:16.719 Well, we've talked about this before, Sean. When Biden got 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:19.160 in office and I started seeing some of these policies 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:23.400 get cranked out by executive order and the insanity to 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:28.800 the safety of this country in terms of releasing serious 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:31.440 felony offenders that are here illegally just right back into 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:35.200 the community. I mean, even democratic administrations would not have 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:40.040 done that. This was a total upheaval of order and 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:43.160 structure and safety and everything that both sides had always 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:47.800 agreed on. I started referring to it as Biden's handlers 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:51.720 pushing these crazy policies out. And I believe there are 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:56.120 people that believe that there should not be borders, and 0:10:57.200 --> 0:11:00.120 there it was a radicals wish list in terms of 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:03.640 what was pushed out as to immigration and so many 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:08.839 other things that related to policy, and as they were 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:10.920 getting put out. I pushed out, I was doing my 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:13.400 best as attorney general. Many of my colleagues around the 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:16.880 country were speaking out, and not just speaking out, fighting 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:20.760 in court to try and stop it. But I truly 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:27.480 believe that there is a subversive, almost anarchist agenda, and 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:30.079 many of those people believe there should not be borders. 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:33.040 And if you go back and read those executive orders 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:36.120 that came out in month one, when their own people 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:38.160 were saying we're going to lose control of the border, 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:41.840 there is no other conclusion to make other than it 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:45.800 was intentional. And whether that was a handler or someone 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:48.600 that had an agenda in the administration, whether that was 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:53.199 Biden himself, it was done on purpose, and it's unbelievable. 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:56.040 Well, don't me ask you one other things. Oh, we've 0:11:56.120 --> 0:12:00.880 learned from Telsea Gabbard that evidence was able to James 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:03.719 call me on Hillary Clinton and are top secret classified 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:08.760 information that he purposely didn't use. We learned that in 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:12.640 fact that the Hillary Clinton bought and paid for dirty 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:18.239 Russian dossier was in fact, you know, suspect from the beginning, 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:20.280 and they were even told not to use it. It 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:23.960 became the bulk of information for not one but four 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:26.839 PISA applications and three of them signed by James call 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:31.280 Me himself, even after it was totally debunked. If you 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:34.720 look at that, if you look at the FBI knew 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:38.280 in March of twenty twenty, they verified the authenticity of 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:41.319 the laptop and then they went out and prebunked it 0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:44.360 to big tech companies. My question is is there a 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:48.400 pattern or a grand conspiracy to put cinder blocks on 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:49.679 scales of elections? 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.440 You know, I think that what the referrals that were 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:58.120 made both by Radcliffe and Gabbard are incredibly important to 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:02.720 restoring faith in this government and bringing us back to 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:06.000 the understanding and belief that it is truly a representative 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:09.400 government of us the people, not just a government run 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:12.160 them up with its own agenda executed by a few 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:17.840 people who want to enact a partisan playbook. And so 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:21.240 you know, I am I for one, and I hope 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:25.280 all of America agrees that. Going back and looking through this, 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:30.080 and I think one of the allegations is that Brennan 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:33.839 was not truthful when he testified in terms of the 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:37.480 conclude the collusion and whether or not he thought that 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:41.360 should be included in the report. I think it should 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:43.800 be looked at and again, just as we started off 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:48.640 this conversation, if there is nothing to hide, a review 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:52.960 of all of this should concern no one but to 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:58.360 restore the American's faith in the in this system of government, it. 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:00.480 Happens, we've got to get to the bar of it. 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:03.320 I mean, it looks like deep state actors have been 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:07.120 involved in corrupting the system for a while. We appreciate 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:09.560 your diligent work and you're doing great for the state 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:13.360 of Florida. Florida Senator Ashley Moody, thank you for being 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:15.560 well us. As always, we appreciate it. 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:16.800 Great to be with a shn. 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:21.600 All right, let's stay in my free state of Florida. 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:24.440 We have Jerry checking in. Jerry, you're on the Sean 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:25.920 Hennity Show. How are you, sir? 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:31.000 Hey doing sign Thanks for the taking the call. I 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:34.000 just had the comment it's a few days old, but 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:39.160 with Hunter's profanity laced three hour podcasts, probably the only 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:41.840 thing that really rained true to me that he said 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:47.440 was just on how successful he thought his father's presidency was. 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:50.360 And after I thought about it for a second, it 0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:54.400 was very successful for Hunter and the Biden family. The 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:59.280 pardon flu mans of dollars came in riding around on 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:00.840 airport worst one. 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:05.280 So I think that's from Hunter's perspective, it probably seemed 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:06.640 pretty successful. 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:11.320 I was shocked, and I like Joe Rogan. Joe Rogan 0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:16.720 definitely isn't as political as I am, and I think 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:19.360 he doesn't really want to be involved in the political world, 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:22.880 which with probably a smart move on his part. And 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:25.400 I was shocked when he said, oh wow, I've looked 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:27.600 at this, maybe he should have run for president. I'm like, 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:30.920 do you know anything about this guy? Not a good idea. 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:36.240 But with that said, everyone's entitled to their opinion, right, Yeah, 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:39.000 he had the best life of anybody. He got rich 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:42.960 off access. There's not one person that is listening to 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:47.280 this show that can make millions and millions of dollars 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:53.160 acknowledging that they have no background, no experience at all whatsoever, 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:58.320 and sit on boards and go on Good Morning America 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:01.880 saying you have no experience and energy, oil, gas, coal, 0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:05.520 or Ukraine or China, none at all whatsoever. And he 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:09.360 made a fortune. Yeah, good gig for him, not good 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:14.920 for the country. And certainly we didn't exactly see much 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:18.120 progress from his father. And he's just angry and lashing 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:20.680 out and bitter. And you know, maybe he thinks he 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:24.000 sounds cool dropping an F bomb every five seconds. He 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:27.560 sounds stupid to me, and I don't know. He seemed off. 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:31.000 He sound like very angry men. All right, I appreciate 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:33.320 the call, my friend. Eight hundred nine one, Shawn, so 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:34.960 on number. We'll get right back to the phones when 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:37.160 we come back. As we continue, eight hundred and nine 0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:39.720 to four one, Sean, if you want to call, we'd 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:46.040 love to hear from you. He gives you the latest 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:50.080 breaking news when he hits the air. This is the 0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:55.640 Sean Hannity Show. It is amazing. You would think, based 0:16:55.640 --> 0:17:01.080 on the chatter that Stephen Colbert actually had a big audience. 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:05.200 He did not. We have about three times the audience 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:08.879 size that he has, or I guess he still has it. 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:13.320 And you know, the desire to blame all of this 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:16.960 on Donald Trump is just gotten way out of hand. 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:23.520 Stephen Colbert has been fired for very basic, fundamental reasons. 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:26.960 And as somebody who in October will have completed thirty 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:30.000 years on the Fox News Channel, I know a lot 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:32.960 about television and I can tell you how it works. 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:36.320 The only reason I'm still on TV is because all 0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:40.760 of you watch my show, and if you stop watching 0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:44.480 my show, you in combination would have the ability to 0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:47.080 fire me. Some of you are salivating at that thought, 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:54.080 but really it comes down to basic fundamental issues in 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:58.560 terms of in terms of radio and television, and that 0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:03.120 is audience side in reach number one and number two, 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:06.280 it comes down to revenue. He was supposed to be 0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:09.959 a late night comic and he tried to be an 0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:15.520 MSDNC anchor. He was a radical leftist who was not funny, 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:20.240 and you could see over the years, month by month, 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:24.439 week by week, day by day, the slippage and the 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:28.479 attrition of a massive audience that he inherited at the time. 0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:30.679 I mean he's down to about a third of what 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:33.919 David Letterman left him. Well, that means it's not a 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:37.000 viable show. Apparently they have over two hundred staff members. 0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:39.240 It's a lot of people to write his jokes for him, 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:42.080 and apparently none of them were particularly good at their 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:44.760 job because he wasn't funny, or I guess maybe this 0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:48.480 was based on his guidance, and so the show was 0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:52.840 losing anywhere between forty and fifty million dollars a year. Well, 0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:55.680 if you don't have ratings, you don't have audience, you're 0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:58.399 not funny, you're supposed to be a late night comic, 0:18:58.480 --> 0:19:02.720 and you'll lose in all that money. Not going to survive. Now, 0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:10.400 Stephen Colbert keeps going after CBS and their new owner's paramount, 0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:13.840 and if he thinks he's gonna make it to May 0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:18.159 of twenty six and continue, you know, this diatribe of 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:21.680 blame and attack against the very people that are paying him, 0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:25.880 he's dreaming now. In my view, he probably is itching 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:29.320 to get fired because he thinks in his own twisted 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:33.080 mind that that'll turn him into a martyr. I would 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:38.159 argue he'll be doing a podcast someplace somewhere that not 0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:41.160 many people are ever going to care about. But here's 0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:41.720 what he said. 0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:46.000 We have just achieved a big and important win in 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:51.120 our historic lawsuit against sixty minutes CBS and paramount Paramount. 0:19:51.160 --> 0:19:56.800 CBS sixty minutes off today paid sixteen million dollars in settlement, 0:19:57.160 --> 0:20:01.920 and we will also anticipate receiving twenty million dollars more 0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:05.399 from the new owners, for a total of over thirty 0:20:05.480 --> 0:20:09.760 six million dollars. Wow, hold on, plus they're paying as 0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:11.880 legal fees. Sixteen was twenty thirty. 0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:16.359 That means by bending the knee they lost like forty 0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:17.720 million dollars this year. 0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:24.239 They better watch out. They better watch out. They might 0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:25.440 get canceled. 0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:33.840 For purely financial reasons. 0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:35.600 The present owners. 0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:40.280 The present owners are denying that additional twenty million dollars. 0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:42.359 Which I hope is true, because could you. 0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:46.560 Imagine how angry people would be? Last year Paramount laid 0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:50.840 off two thousand employees, then cut another several hundred just 0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:53.880 last month, firing that many people, and then handing over 0:20:54.240 --> 0:20:56.960 thirty six mill to a guy who's putting your neighbors 0:20:57.000 --> 0:21:00.040 in alligator camps, all because of a lawsuit that you, 0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:03.760 your own lawyer said was completely without merit. If that's true, 0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:08.000 it would make CBS look morally bankrupt, also bankrupt. 0:21:12.560 --> 0:21:16.240 Why do I think MSNBC or MSDNC is a potential 0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:19.520 home for him? Do you think that's far fetched or 0:21:19.560 --> 0:21:20.520 fake news? CNN? 0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:23.000 I mean, he's already got Rachel Maddow's glasses, so he 0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:24.000 already fits right in. 0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:27.960 It's doing great. It's right that glasses would make it work. 0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:34.960 Joyless Bejar, I mean, look, gimme Kimmel, just like Colbert 0:21:35.359 --> 0:21:37.960 and Fallon, and I've been saying it for some time 0:21:38.160 --> 0:21:43.320 or all officially on cancelation Watch. You cannot allow the 0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:49.560 type of audience decline and attrition occur and the subsequent 0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:54.399 loss of millions of dollars for your company that is 0:21:54.440 --> 0:21:59.639 employing you to occur without you at some point taking 0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:03.679 a fine angel hit and likely getting fired. They have 0:22:03.760 --> 0:22:06.800 all made a decision to be political. There's been no 0:22:06.960 --> 0:22:10.440 course correction on their part. They're not funny. They haven't 0:22:10.480 --> 0:22:14.479 been funny in a long time. It's insufferable to watch. 0:22:15.800 --> 0:22:18.200 And just like that hard hitting news show, The View. 0:22:18.800 --> 0:22:22.640 I mean, when I saw that Harris Faulkner was beating 0:22:22.800 --> 0:22:26.840 The View in the ratings, I'm like, it's close to 0:22:26.920 --> 0:22:30.639 the end. There's only so long ABC's gonna put up 0:22:30.640 --> 0:22:34.399 with this. Here's Joylis Behar announcing that The View is 0:22:34.440 --> 0:22:39.040 going on hiatus. 0:22:37.080 --> 0:22:39.960 And before we go on hiatus, only have one more 0:22:40.000 --> 0:22:40.680 show after this. 0:22:40.760 --> 0:22:45.760 I'm allowed to say that, right too late? Now, Yeah, 0:22:46.040 --> 0:22:47.040 before we go, I. 0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:50.080 Wanted to tell people that the tide is churning. 0:22:50.440 --> 0:22:54.879 The tide is churning and things are changing. No, it's not. 0:22:55.040 --> 0:22:57.199 Then she goes on to predict Fox News is going 0:22:57.280 --> 0:23:00.520 to be the ones that take down Donald Trump. I'm like, Okay, 0:23:00.560 --> 0:23:04.520 good luck with that. That ridiculous theory. I think long 0:23:04.560 --> 0:23:08.760 before Donald Trump will finish his presidency, whether they like 0:23:08.840 --> 0:23:12.040 it or not, as long as his health is, as 0:23:12.080 --> 0:23:14.119 long as he's in good health, which he is now. 0:23:14.840 --> 0:23:17.040 And I think that's just wishful thinking on their part. 0:23:17.480 --> 0:23:23.440 But they can't continue to have this attrition and audience 0:23:23.480 --> 0:23:27.239 decline and survive either. All right, let's go to our 0:23:27.240 --> 0:23:31.680 busy phones as we say hi to Robbie's in Oklahoma. 0:23:31.880 --> 0:23:33.920 Rob High, how are you glad you called, sir? 0:23:35.359 --> 0:23:38.720 Great day, mister Hannity, You're a great American patriot, sir. 0:23:38.800 --> 0:23:40.680 And Katie is a great call screener. 0:23:41.800 --> 0:23:45.040 My point and the sucking up to Katie and Linda 0:23:45.440 --> 0:23:47.359 oh Man, what is going on here? 0:23:48.800 --> 0:23:51.280 You're a lucky man. You got great, great people working 0:23:51.280 --> 0:23:52.000 for you with you. 0:23:52.960 --> 0:23:54.679
