Welcome on into the Clay Travis and 3 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:11,720 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. Your audio extravaganza begins now. Thank you 4 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 1: for hanging out with us, for joining us here New 5 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: York City, National, Tennessee, all across the country. We got 6 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: the mask situation on the planes. A little bit of 7 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: update on that one. The United CEOs as he thinks 8 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: they're never coming back. The DOJ says they're gonna challenge 9 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,239 Speaker 1: the ruling, but not clear exactly when, how, or in 10 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 1: what way do they just want the authority to mask 11 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 1: you up when they decide again to do it. We 12 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 1: will dive into that. Does Biden even know what title 13 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 1: forty two is? That's an open question. After a press 14 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: conference earlier today, who's discussing another eight hundred eight hundred 15 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: million dollars of funding for Ukraine today added to the 16 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: bill millions of dollars that has already been given to 17 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: Ukraine and weapons assistance and other material. Jensaki makes it 18 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: even more clear in a sense what she thinks is 19 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: at stake what the Left believes at stake in the 20 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 1: parental Rights Bill, that showdown between Disney and Ron de 21 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: Santis not going the way the woke libs anticipated, not 22 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: going the way they were hoping it would. That's for sure. 23 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: They are now not only on defense politically. I think 24 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 1: they're trying to avoid, Clay a political route going into 25 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: the midterms, pushed on in part by that one that 26 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 1: the issue of children education and doctrination crt the transagenda. 27 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: We've also got doctor Nicole Safire or you all know 28 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: her from Fox News. She's fantastic. She'll be joining us 29 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: talk about the latest with the CDC, the rulemaking authority 30 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: masks all the rest of it. So that is coming up. 31 00:01:55,480 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: But Clay, we just got the news. We just about 32 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: the news that I guess we are not gonna have 33 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: to worry about competing for our audience's attention for the 34 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: three hours we're on daily with CNN Plus. CNN plus 35 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: has been put out to pasture. I guess CNN Plus 36 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: has been sent to the glue factory. Actually, it is 37 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: no longer no longer with us as a network. As 38 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: of today, we've been talking about streaming Netflix. They've gotten crushed. 39 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: Big changes in the media and political landscape come as 40 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: a result of all this stuff. But I gotta say, 41 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: what was CNN thinking CNN Plus Rest in Peace shutting 42 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: down after just twenty one days, Buck, I think that's 43 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: basically the length of Kim Kardashian's marriage to Chris Humphrey's 44 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 1: back in the day. If I'm not mistaken, this is 45 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: maybe the biggest media failure of all time. I mean, 46 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,239 Speaker 1: when you consider that they have invested hundreds of millions 47 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: of dollars in the launch of CNN Plus. They said, Hey, 48 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: what America wants is more Brian Stelter. What America needs 49 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: is Don Lemmon on that wall. What you absolutely positively 50 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: will pay for is Jamal Hill and Rex Chapman breaking 51 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: down the latest in the woke universe. Buck, They got 52 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 1: an average viewership in a day of under ten thousand people, 53 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: under ten thousand people for Cnnplus. I mean, to put 54 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: that into context, I mean, we have videos on OutKick, 55 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: on our OutKick programming that do infinitely better like OutKick 56 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: is Bigger with the eight shows that we do or 57 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: whatever than CNN Plus was and Buck, they spent hundreds 58 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: of millions of dollars, hundreds of millions of dollars on 59 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: the belief that people were committed to CNN, despite the 60 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: fact that no one watches it for free on their 61 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: cable and satellite packages. By and large, this is one 62 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: of the greatest miscalculations in the history of media. I 63 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: don't remember. I mean, I know the Quibbi thing was 64 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 1: a huge mess. I think that was Katzenberg, if I'm 65 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: not mistaken. The Daily Beast. Do you remember when that launched? Actually, 66 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: the Daily Beast in its initially years of publication, I 67 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: think lost one hundred million dollars, But over the course 68 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 1: of a few years, several years, over several years, to 69 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: basically light this much money on fire, hundreds of millions 70 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: of dollars they spent on the launch, and to have 71 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: this few people respond and to shut the entire thing 72 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: down after twenty one days, effective April thirtieth, CNN Plus 73 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: will no longer exist is an unprecedented failure in the 74 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: world of media. And I got to tell you, Buck 75 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: when I saw this, when my phone blew up with 76 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: text messages because I didn't even see the news breaking 77 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: and everybody who's like CNN Plus is done, I just 78 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: had such a great smile on my face, and I 79 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: bet a lot of people sort of without even intending 80 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: to smile. I bet also a lot of people out 81 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 1: there listening to us right now also are smiling. What 82 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: do you think the over under is on when Chris 83 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: Wallace shows up on the Mass Singer or perhaps Dancing 84 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 1: with the Stars is not gonna be the Mass Singer 85 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: because that's a Fox product. Somebody tweeted me, worst decision 86 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,359 Speaker 1: and there this is fun, you know, from a career 87 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: arc perspective. Back in the day, remember Chris O'Donnell he 88 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 1: passed on the Titanic role? Was he Robin in the 89 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: really bad Batman movie? Chris o'donald. Chris o'donnald turned down 90 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: the Leonardo DiCaprio Titanic role to play Robin in that Batman. 91 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,919 Speaker 1: One of the all time worst worst Hollywood decisions. Obviously, 92 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: the Leonardo DiCaprio has become a monster star. I don't 93 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: even know what Chris O'Donnell does now. So he turned 94 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: down the role of Jack and Titanic, and somebody tweeted me, 95 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: and I retweeted, I didn't even make that choice. We 96 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: could probably get some great responses out here. Chris Wallace 97 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: joining CNN Plus to leave Fox News better or worse 98 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: decision than Chris O'Donnell becoming Robin to turn down that Titanic. 99 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: I think you got to put that to the people. 100 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: I think you got a phone a friend on that 101 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 1: one as in our audience, and put that out in 102 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: a poll because the open phone line some of you guys. 103 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 1: And there may be other things that people think of 104 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: from a career arc perspective. I mean, some people might 105 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: say Johnny Depp marrying Amber heard, given the fact that 106 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: that's been on news for the past couple of days. 107 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: But this is I think this is going to be 108 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: sort of a seismic shockwave event because some people say, 109 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: why do I care about CNN? Plus, this is a 110 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 1: sign CNN has new owners in the Discovery Time Warner merger, 111 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: and they're looking at the data now with fresh eyes 112 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: and they are saying, my goodness, to me, this is 113 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: a test of the overall value of the CNN brand 114 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 1: and how much it's liked by the people who can 115 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: sume it. And the answer is not at all. I 116 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: think there's a number of things that all come together 117 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: here that are of interest of generally. Just one is 118 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: Donald Trump broke CNN. Donald Trump almost single handedly he 119 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: and it was Jeff Zucker pushing it over there, managed 120 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: to turn what could still front as a journalism first 121 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: left leaning, to be sure. And I had a contributor 122 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: there for a couple of years when it was in 123 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: this phase, when it was still in the you know, 124 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: Callie mckinetty was over there with me. I was over there. 125 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: You know, Ben Ferguson was over there. You know, we 126 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: had conservatives that would and you know, Tucker Carlson had 127 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: his own show People Forget This at CNN for years 128 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: and years. That's where he got his start. CNN in 129 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: the Trump era went essentially full left wing activist woke 130 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: in a way that's irreparable to the perception of the 131 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: public about what the what the brand is. I do 132 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: think they're trying very hard now because it's really about 133 00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: the Ukraine. The whole channels effectively about the Ukraine War. 134 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: Right now, they've moved even away from Insurrection in January 135 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: six coverage. I think they're trying to reestablish themselves as 136 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: a news entity in the minds of the public because 137 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,679 Speaker 1: they just became a kind of more boring, less honest 138 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: version of MSNBC, which is a lib propaganda network. But 139 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: everybody knows it, you know what I mean, everyone understood. 140 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: Everyone agrees that MSNBC is Democrat, is liberal, and CNN, 141 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: I think in a lot of ways, because it's such 142 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: a legacy media brand, insulated the thinking of various anchors 143 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: and executives over there from the reality of if you 144 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 1: have to compete in a marketplace where now people have 145 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: a lot of choices. You know, streaming is very different 146 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: from the cable news world. Cable news is very difficult 147 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: to get on, it's very expensive, and there's a lot 148 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: of incumbency protection for limited actual options. Right whereas you 149 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: can sit down on YouTube and watch anything from anywhere 150 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: from any perspective. There's three or four options at all 151 00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 1: for news if you want to sit down in front 152 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: of your television. And for people who are saying, oh, 153 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: but Buck, you know, I've got five hundred channels. Yeah, 154 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 1: but to be in the news spectrum, you have to 155 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: be in certain channels in a certain zone and have 156 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: to have a certain level of coverage in households. Anyway. 157 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: That's maybe a little inside baseball, but the point here 158 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: is this is just a massive belly flop. I mean, 159 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: it's it's stunning to watch this play out, But it's 160 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: really not surprising. Like wouldn't McClay you sold your business 161 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: to Fox, you know, built a successful business with streaming. 162 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: Wouldn't you have been shocked if all of a sudden 163 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: CNN was drawing, you know, CNN plus I mean, was 164 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,559 Speaker 1: drawing a half a million, a million viewers a night. 165 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: I mean, that would have been that would have been stunning. 166 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: It would have been stunning. And Buck, I think you're 167 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: right because what CNN not only did under Jeff Zucker 168 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: before they forced him out during the Trump era was 169 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: there are a lot of people out there listening to 170 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: us right now who had CNN pegged as the most 171 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 1: trusted name in news. Right in the context of back 172 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: in the Gulf War. I remember being a kid. You 173 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: would come home and you would turn on CNN and 174 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: they had Bernard Shaw reporting from Baghdad or Kuwait or 175 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: wherever it was they had the first television war. Was 176 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: the way that that was characterized, and you would put 177 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: it on and you trusted them to bring you the news. 178 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: And they totally gave up the decades that they had 179 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: branded themselves to turn into an anti Trump network. He 180 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: broke them, he really did. And I mean you obviously 181 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 1: have a history at CNN being again, which is amazing. 182 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,319 Speaker 1: That is like being banned from North Korea. By the way, 183 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: that is a badge of honor. You know, if North 184 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: Korea says that Clay Travis is buck Sex, they're not 185 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 1: welcome to visit again, you'd be like, oh, that's pretty cool. 186 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: But I can just from from personal experience, it give 187 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: folks a sense of from I think I first started 188 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 1: doing occasional CNN hits maybe twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen, so 189 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: be like pre Trump era. Yeah, and Jeff Zucker himself 190 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: came up once and said, I did some analysis of 191 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 1: a Russian assassination that occurred right near the Kremlin in 192 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: real time on TV, and you know had my you know, 193 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: you have a lawyer hat, I have my CIA hate 194 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: and I and he just came over. He's like, that 195 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: was such a stud analysis. They used to have me 196 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: on with their top terrors and analysts on panels when 197 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 1: there was breaking news about major terrorist attacks. I was 198 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: one of the people they would call. I mean, you know, 199 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: it would be me and Paul Crookshank and a handful 200 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: of other folks. I'm not saying I was the top 201 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: of the list, but I was one of the people 202 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,719 Speaker 1: that they would draw upon. By the time Trump was 203 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: running and I started being a pro Trump voice on 204 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: the air, I was told that there were conversations in 205 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: the control room when I'd be on air about how 206 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: they really needed to dig into my background because they 207 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: thought I never actually worked at the CIA. That was 208 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: how crazy it made them. That was how you know, 209 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: I could show them briefing photos from the Oval office 210 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: and I'm sure they still wouldn't believe it's a deep fake. Right. 211 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 1: The point is that was how much they That was 212 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: how much they were broken by the Trump phenomenon that 213 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 1: they would go even with someone like me from Wow, 214 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: this guy really knows his stuff too. Oh my god, 215 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: he likes Trump. He must be lying about everything. And 216 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: it's well said there too. And and to your point earlier, 217 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: from my background in media, what I have found is 218 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: people pay are willing to pay. I don't mean like 219 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: you pay for a cable subscription. People pay based on 220 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 1: strong brand affinity. In other words, if you're subscribing to 221 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,319 Speaker 1: something that you actually directly pay for. I mean, the 222 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: cable bundle is such an amazing business because most people 223 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: don't realize that they're paying for four hundred channels or 224 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:29,839 Speaker 1: whatever because you pay a one hundred or one hundred 225 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: and fifty dollars a month, whatever you do, and that 226 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: money gets redistributed to all the channels. When you actually 227 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 1: have to make a choice to pay for a brand, 228 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: what matters more than anything else is brand definity. Do 229 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: you like and trust that brand? And so your point, 230 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: I would have been stunned. That's if CNN plus worked, 231 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,559 Speaker 1: because I don't really believe they are that many people 232 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: who are like man, you know who I love Don Lemon. 233 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: I can't get enough of Anderson Cooper. I mean you 234 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: might not like Chris Cuomo, but I actually think he 235 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 1: had stronger brand of afinity. People aren't going to pay 236 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 1: money for Jake Tapper, right, I just don't believe that 237 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,199 Speaker 1: they are now. I think there are people in media, 238 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: whether you like her or not. People will pay for 239 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: Rachel Maddow right, they trust her. On the left they'll 240 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: pay for people will pay for Tucker, they'll pay for 241 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: Sean directly. CNN doesn't have any of that. They're kind 242 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 1: of still in the squishy middle where there isn't strong 243 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 1: brand deffinity. Nobody's paying for Brian Stelter or Jamel Hill 244 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 1: or or Rex Chapman. So I would have been stunned 245 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,439 Speaker 1: beyond belief if this worked. I did think it was 246 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: gonna last buck longer than twenty one day. I mean, 247 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: they you know, they do have some real they do 248 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: have some real journalists over there, I mean, to be fair, 249 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: and some of their anchors are more fair minded than others. 250 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: And so I wonder if now, with the massive failure 251 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 1: of CNN plus, I should say a massivefilure, Well what's 252 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: the CNN failure, but the massiffilure of CNN plus, maybe 253 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: now they try to go back to at some level 254 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: the CNN roots, if you will, of being are They're 255 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: never going to be objective folks, Okay, it's a question 256 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: of where they go on the scale. But you know, 257 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: I mean Clariss Award has done some very good foreign 258 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: foreign affairs, foreign policy reporting. She does, she does brave 259 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: stuff and knows their stuff, and she's the real deal. 260 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: And you know, they could be more in network that 261 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: at least is center, you know, center left, and I 262 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: think they may have to go on that. Otherwise I 263 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: don't know what happens. Well, they may get a bail 264 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: out because they could just go back to the anti 265 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: Trump network because I think both we both think he's 266 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: gonna run. And then they just run the Piers Morgan 267 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: interview and the Outrage and the Trump Show and continue 268 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: that for basically a couple of years. It will be 269 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: interesting to see whether they'll go and take that sugary 270 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 1: sweetness high which destroys their brand, or stick to as 271 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: your point, Hey, Clariss Award on the ground at Ukraine. 272 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: By the way, a lot of you out there getting 273 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: nervous about putting your credit cards online.

Clay just 353 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: shared this one out, this tweet from CNN Breaking News, 354 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: the streaming service hyped as one of the most significant 355 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: developments in the history of CNN. Oh my, that one 356 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: was going to be talking about that in a thousand years, 357 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 1: like the Battle of Troy, you know. Oh, CNN Plus, 358 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: what an amazing CNN Breaking News letting it be known 359 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: that the future of their network had to shut down 360 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 1: because no one would pay for it. In the break 361 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 1: I mean, there's sixty two million people who follow CNN 362 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: Breaking News, and they couldn't even get ten thousand of 363 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 1: those people to watch this programming. It's one the most 364 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 1: remarkable brand fails I think we've ever seen. I don't know, remember, 365 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 1: you know I mentioned this before Current TV, which was 366 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: Al Gore and some others funded they bought what was it. 367 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: I think they bought a channel, maybe it was it 368 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: from Al Jazero or something that they flipped over a 369 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 1: channel gave them one hundred million homes of access. Paid lunatic, 370 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: you know, guy Keith Olberman. I was gonna think of 371 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: something to remember that. They paid Keith Olberman ten million 372 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,439 Speaker 1: dollars a year to sit in what looked like his 373 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:39,120 Speaker 1: mother's basement and do this ridiculous show and it never 374 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 1: got above I think the highest that ever got was 375 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: something like five thousand viewers or whatever. The paying of 376 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 1: ten million dollars a year. Everybody that completely evaporated, like 377 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: there was nothing left of that when it was done. 378 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 1: And they spent hundreds of millions of dollars to buy 379 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 1: that channel, because buying a cable channel and flipping it 380 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,679 Speaker 1: was very expensive. So that's a pretty but everyone forgets that. 381 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: We No one even remembers that epic me that also 382 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: was a moving like twenty was it twenty one day? No, 383 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: that lasted a couple of years. I think maybe eighteen 384 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: months before they realized this is just a disaster. They 385 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: basically lit three hundred million dollars on fire. How they 386 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 1: spend so much money on something that, Like, where did 387 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 1: that money even go? I mean this is like, this 388 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: is the fire Festival of media brand launches. Like I 389 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 1: don't even know how they did this. They hired, first 390 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,199 Speaker 1: of all, a lot of people and gave them a 391 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 1: lot of money, and they probably people twelve million dollars 392 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: to Chris Wallace. You could have had somebody, you know, 393 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: more compelling and more interesting for a fraction of that cost. 394 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,360 Speaker 1: So and then they sent people all over the world 395 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,199 Speaker 1: to do this programming. Like I was reading, you know 396 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: this idiot Rex Chapman. They sent him to like three 397 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 1: different continents to do an interview show. And I don't 398 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,959 Speaker 1: know how they but the money was ridiculous. And by 399 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: the way, does Jeff Zucker avoid this on his resumetion 400 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: because it was all built by Zucker, right, I mean 401 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: the run up to this had to all be a 402 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,679 Speaker 1: Zucker decision. So when I said him being pushed out 403 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: over the it was the sexual harassment, but also the 404 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: Cuomo thing. It was kind of a number of things 405 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 1: that came together over there. But this is really a 406 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 1: this was a Jeff Zucker project, had to be. It's 407 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,439 Speaker 1: a great point. I think he probably would have they 408 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 1: would not have koted it as quickly if he were 409 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: still there would be my bet, because there's no way 410 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 1: he could stay on at CNN with this big of 411 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: a failure, right, But this way, with Discovery coming in now, 412 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: they're basically, you know, burying the dead bodies of problems 413 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: of CNN. Yeah, I mean, this is Jeff Zucker leaving 414 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: CNN is almost like you know, the guy in the 415 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: in the in the Crows that'st to whatever from the 416 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: Titanic getting fired because a cigarette break was too long, 417 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: about two minutes before it hit the iceberg, right Like, Yeah, 418 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: just sort of evades being the guy who missed the 419 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: big one here and messed it up. And it's funny. 420 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: I wouldn't think claim our lines here lit up. I mean, 421 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,919 Speaker 1: you know, producer Gray has been to shamy doesn't have 422 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: eight eight hands and eight phones and ears and everything 423 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: all at once. Because we got everyone lining up to 424 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: weigh in on this. Dave in Scottsdale, Arizona, what do 425 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: you got for us? Dave? Yes, claim Buck does CNN 426 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: plus knock New Coke from the top spot of the 427 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: biggest corporate sales of all time. There's so many that's 428 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: a great point. New coke was a disaster. You remember 429 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 1: new coke clear pepsi or was a clear coke? Was 430 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 1: it both? They had the clear version of it he 431 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 1: came out with and then SNL actually did a pretty 432 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 1: funny sketch where it was like clear gravy, like clear 433 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: you know, clear sandwich bread. So yeah, that that, by 434 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: the way. Other things for sports fans out there. Mike 435 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: Price was memorably hired as the football coach at Alabama 436 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: went to a strip club. Like everything blew up. He 437 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:57,120 Speaker 1: was the head coach of Alabama. Longer than CNN plus 438 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:02,640 Speaker 1: has lasted. Was Anthony Scaramucci, the White House communications director. 439 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 1: Longer was the Mooch, the White House Comms director for 440 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: Trump Longer than see it. I know it's close. I 441 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,159 Speaker 1: think the Mooch lasted twelve days. Well I think he 442 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: lasted too. I'm just guessing, but I think it was 443 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 1: twelve days before he decided to call up one of 444 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,880 Speaker 1: the most anti Trump hostel reporters imaginable and go on 445 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,439 Speaker 1: a profanity lace tirade the likes of which I couldn't 446 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: even begin to tell anybody about. Ristal pepsi. According to Ali, 447 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 1: by the way, it was crystal pepsi, right, the clear 448 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: that was the clear version of pepsi, which somehow at 449 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 1: having the food coloring in it. You're like, this isn't 450 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: just sugar water that is rotting my teeth in mind? Yeah, 451 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,919 Speaker 1: which not the sodas bad Pat in Houston, Texas, He's 452 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: got some thoughts on this one, Hey, Pat, Hey cleyon 453 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: Buck guys doing a great job. Thank you. Want to 454 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: make a comment on CNN plus, I think the Boston 455 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: Red Sox are now off the hook for making the 456 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: worst decision ever the person of the Bambino with Fave Ruth. 457 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: Do you know that? Yeah? Yeah, And by the way, 458 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,120 Speaker 1: the Bookie Bets decision wasn't a very good one either. 459 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: That's more recent, letting him go to the Dodgers. But yes, 460 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: the Curse of the Band, I mean, Babe Ruth might 461 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:10,919 Speaker 1: have been a bet. They got a better value, they 462 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: didn't lose three hundred million dollars. Yeah, you know. Sylvester 463 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: Stallone turned down famously Beverly Hills Cop, which I think 464 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,640 Speaker 1: is speaking of eighties movies, one you know this true. Yes, 465 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,439 Speaker 1: it was initially going to be a very serious cop 466 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,439 Speaker 1: you know, thriller movie. You know, one of those movies 467 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: from the eighties, you know, kind of like a Patango 468 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: and Cash is obviously us that's a bucking cop movie, 469 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: but some of those, um, he'd just done I think 470 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 1: Cobra that movie, and Sylvester Stallone was gonna do Beverly 471 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 1: Hills Cop, and then they completely changed it around and 472 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: brought in Eddie Murphy, and I turned to imagine that 473 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,120 Speaker 1: movie being made without Eddie. I don't think it would 474 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 1: have been good. I mean, I think it might have 475 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: been you know, like almost stop or my mom will 476 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 1: shoot level bad. For those of you who really know 477 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: Sylvester Stallone's works, some Estelle Getty and Sylvester Stallone I've 478 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: dropped in the Action movie. I remember the knowledge I've 479 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: forgotten about that movie. I mean, were they thanking did 480 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: lethal Weapon come out before before Beverly Hills Cop? Were 481 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: they thinking that was a lethal weapon comparison film? Like, 482 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: I'm just wondering. I'd have to go and check. But 483 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 1: you know, I know, I know that he uh, I 484 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 1: know that he turned down that role. But the thing 485 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: about Sevesta Sloan is you know he had he was 486 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: already a superstar and went on to be in a 487 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: lot of other really big movies, So that's different than 488 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 1: you know, that's sad about Chris o'donald Man. My dad 489 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: actually played golf with christ o'donald the actor or maybe 490 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: ten years ago, said he was a super nice guy. 491 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,120 Speaker 1: I'm sure he's I mean, but man, what a big 492 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,719 Speaker 1: whiff on turning the entit you know, um it was. 493 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,360 Speaker 1: It was almost what was his name, Michael Michael by 494 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 1: Michael Bean was going to be an Aliens three, which 495 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: he thought would have been a real career move for him, 496 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 1: and at the last minute they wrote him out of 497 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: the script. Because I'm a big fan of his from 498 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 1: the Terminator series and also from Aliens, where he was fantastic, 499 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:52,680 Speaker 1: you know, and he was and he had a short 500 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: role as a Navy seal in The Rock. I'm just 501 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: that's funny. I'm just wondering if Chris o'donald's agent, I 502 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 1: would like to talk to O'Donnell's agent, who I'm sure 503 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 1: he walked through it. He's like, man, everybody knows how 504 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 1: Titanic ends, nobody knows how Batman and Robin ends. Like, 505 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 1: I can totally see that pitch, right. You gotta be Robbin. 506 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: You can't Nobody Jack, some random guy on the they 507 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 1: spoiler alert, the ship sinks. You gotta be Robbin. This 508 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 1: could be a huge franchise for years. Was he Robin? 509 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: The George Clooney's Batman? I think so superhero movies went 510 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 1: through a phase where they were corny and bad. Right, 511 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 1: you had the great original Superman movies, and then you 512 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: went into this phase of like remember like Arnold Schwartzenegras 513 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 1: Mister Freeze. That might have been that same Batman movie actually, 514 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,959 Speaker 1: or it was one of those Batman movies, and it 515 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 1: wasn't until I think, really the X Men franchise brought 516 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 1: back superhero movies into being mainstream hits. And then of 517 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: course the Avengers became this multi billion dollar franchise and 518 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 1: well they did a great job with you know, remember 519 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,919 Speaker 1: there were a lot of debates about Marvel was like, 520 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 1: We're gonna make Ironman, and people said, oh, nobody knows 521 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 1: who iron Man is, they won't care. And then Favreau 522 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: and Robert Downey Junior the first Ironman was fab one 523 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: of the five one of the five best superhero movies 524 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: of all time in my opinion. The first Ironman movie 525 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 1: was fantastic Shoe in Wisconsin. It's got some thoughts. What's up, Sue, 526 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: Oh Man, I got an idea. You know, since Twitter 527 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: won't let Elon must buy them, maybe CNN Puss will 528 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 1: let Elon must buy it. That outfit. Oh, we've already 529 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 1: we've already talked about whether whether Elon would be willing 530 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 1: to offer forty two dollars instead of forty two billion 531 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,919 Speaker 1: dollars for CNN plus two. So we're right there with you. 532 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 1: We see it. We see it the same way. James 533 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: in Kentucky, what's going on? James? Hey, how you doing? 534 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: From a Kentucky derby capital of the world of horse racing. 535 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 1: I got a couple of things. First off, with Chris Wallace, 536 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: and this is the big second or the biggest corporate 537 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: mistake next to New Cooke just far, not just straight 538 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 1: up with the amount of money that was involved and invested. 539 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 1: But I have an idea for him where they could 540 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: save themselves. I think that they missed gendered the names. 541 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: You know, no plus actually denotes more we want more 542 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: or CNN right, Well, I think they miss gendered it 543 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: and they should call it CNN ninus. That's certainly what 544 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: it did. To thank you for the overall Discovery balance sheet, 545 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 1: there was I mean three hundred million dollars. They basically 546 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 1: live on fire here Ken in Helena, Montana. What's going on? Ken? 547 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 1: How are you? We're good?

I mean, this is actually 551 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: the second time I've heard of it. But you know, 552 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: I did hear about Chris Wallace, you know, and his 553 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: his move over there, and I think this is the 554 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 1: best thing to happen to Fox in a long time. 555 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 1: There's a lot of people that are happy that he left. 556 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: Uh no, you're right. I mean it can be. It 557 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 1: could be an awful decision that he made and one 558 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: that a lot of viewers don't really regret at all. 559 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 1: But I mean, this is they sold him on CNN 560 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 1: Plus is going to be huge. He left a platform 561 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: where millions of people were watching him for one where 562 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 1: a couple of hundred may have watched him. Yeah, I 563 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: don't think that's a crazy He got away with often 564 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 1: antagonizing most of his audience in a personal branding exercise 565 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: instead of understanding, Clay, You and I both appreciate this, 566 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: and I think this comes across to everybody listens to us. 567 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 1: I wake up every day feeling lucky to do this show, 568 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 1: do the show with you.

Elon Musk has officially let 608 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 1: it be known that he has the fund commitment to 609 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 1: be able to buy Twitter. So there's kind of a 610 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: freeze right now in terms of what's gone on. We've 611 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: been discussing the Elon Musk offer to purchase Twitter for 612 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 1: roughly forty three billion dollars. He has gotten the funds 613 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: to be able to do that now. So there was 614 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 1: a discussion out there, Oh, Elon Musk is not being serious. Oh, 615 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 1: there's not money behind this offer. No, he now has 616 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 1: put together and spent the time to put together the 617 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 1: funding that would allow him to purchase Twitter and take 618 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 1: it private. Claia, We do have an update as well, 619 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 1: important news update here from one of our VIP subscribers, Julie, 620 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: who was pointing out that Chris o'donald is in fact 621 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 1: thriving on NCIS Los Angeles, which is one of these 622 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,480 Speaker 1: shows I don't watch ed CIS. Let's say this, have 623 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 1: you ever looked at the ratings of these shows? They're great? 624 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 1: The NCIS gets like fifteen million people. It's crazy how 625 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 1: many people watch. So Chris o'donald's doing quite well. You know, 626 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 1: maybe maybe we'll get invited to the hospital to sometime. Yeah. 627 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 1: Not Leonardo DiCaprio. Well he didn't, you know, he didn't 628 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 1: fade off. How much different would Chris O'Donnell's career have 629 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 1: been if he had played Jack in Titanic? Also, would it? 630 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 1: How much good? I don't think that's really that's that's 631 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 1: really a sweet spot. I'm wondering how much different DiCaprio 632 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 1: made that role for everybody out there. Spoiler, Yes, the 633 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 1: Titanic sinks, but it was Kate Winslet and uh and 634 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 1: Leonardo DiCaprio, and that movie became so massive. That's still 635 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,399 Speaker 1: the most watched Oscars ever that year when Titanic won 636 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 1: Best Picture. Uh, that is the most watched Oscars that 637 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,759 Speaker 1: has ever exist. I think like nineteen ninety eight ish. Oh, 638 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 1: it was in the nineties, Clay, Yes, not the eighties. 639 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,319 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. You know, the nineties movie. For 640 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,720 Speaker 1: your your nineties movie, I think you've given short shrift 641 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 1: to the nineties movies A little bit of it's gonna 642 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:34,280 Speaker 1: throw that out there. Yes, there's nineties movies. I'm just saying, 643 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,879 Speaker 1: I've got kids now, and we don't watch that many 644 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 1: nineties movies compared to eighties movies. Yeah, well, just wait 645 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,799 Speaker 1: till facing power. In the eighties, they start wearing a 646 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 1: lot of like oversized flannel shirts. You know, all of 647 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: a sudden, they'll be they'll be they'll be watching Uh 648 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 1: what would Frazier? There you go, they've gone back, by 649 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,440 Speaker 1: the way, they're not oversized. When we were young, everybody 650 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 1: wore the oversized jeans and the saggy pants and the 651 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 1: huge flannel shirts. Nowadays, kids wear clothes so tight, you know, 652 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,319 Speaker 1: you can barely breathe. I don't know how some of 653 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,319 Speaker 1: these guys, you're still single. I don't even know how 654 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 1: you try to compete out there on the streets. I 655 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,320 Speaker 1: see these boys. I say boys because they're like sixteen, 656 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 1: seventeen years old. Their jeans are so tight. I don't 657 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 1: even know how they breathe. They play in the John 658 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 1: Stockton shorts for basketball. That's why we've got all sorts 659 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,920 Speaker 1: of issues with sperm counts. Guys can't even wear jeans 660 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:23,759 Speaker 1: anymore and be comfortable in him anymore. How did we 661 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:28,560 Speaker 1: end up talking about this exactly? What? Uh? Sal in 662 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:32,120 Speaker 1: New Orleans, he's got a sports and CNN plus take that. 663 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,799 Speaker 1: We got to hear what's up? Sal? Yeah? Remember when 664 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 1: Nick Saban because he has sold the problem and let 665 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:47,360 Speaker 1: him come here to our beloved Saints. Yes, well, I 666 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 1: think that was kind of good comparison because you know, CNN, Uh, 667 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 1: it's kids getting to the point where you cannot watch 668 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 1: it anymore. I try to be objective, you know, I 669 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 1: can't even watch watch it because, yeah, it honestly became unwatchable. 670 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:09,880 Speaker 1: I preferred MSNBC to watch in with some degree of 671 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 1: disdain but also amusement to CNN after election results and 672 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:16,440 Speaker 1: stuff would come in, you know, after Trump won. Watching 673 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 1: CNN after sorry, watching MSNBC after Trump won was one 674 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 1: of the most entertaining things that's ever occurred on television. 675 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:24,879 Speaker 1: Hopefully that's gonna be the case here in a few months. 676 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,239 Speaker 1: By the way, that's a good analogy. Everything would be 677 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 1: different in college and the NFL Nick Saban when he's 678 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins coach. Sorry Dolphin fans in South Florida who 679 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 1: are listening to us right now. They memorably signed Dante 680 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 1: Culpepper over Drew Brees based on shoulder injury issues. Drew 681 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 1: Brees goes onto the Saints, wins a Super Bowl, and 682 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: Saban bails on the Dolphins, ends up in Alabama High Birmingham, 683 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,040 Speaker 1: number one show in that market, and you guys have 684 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 1: won six titles since. Changed everything in the world of sports. 685 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:58,759 Speaker 1: Butterfly Effect just like CNN plus Sleet Travis and Buck 686 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:08,800 Speaker 1: Sexton on the front lines of truth.
