Trish Regan analyzes CNN's impending layoffs and Warner Bros. Discovery's plan to split the network into Global Networks by mid-2026, attributing financial struggles to alleged liberal bias and low viewership that threatens anchors like Anderson Cooper and Stephen Colbert. She defends Donald Trump regarding falling egg prices while criticizing NPR and PBS for "woke" partisanship, specifically citing their refusal to cover the Hunter Biden laptop scandal. Ultimately, Regan frames these corporate shifts as consequences of ideological drift, dismissing a Wall Street Journal report linking Trump to Jeffrey Epstein as tawdry distraction from genuine media accountability.

Big Media Layoffs and Cost Cutting00:10:00
We're live with a lot of media news today.
Big media, big layoffs, you guys.
Welcome to the Trish Regan Show.
I am Trish.
Make sure you subscribe, share, like, all that good stuff.
This is the future, right?
But you look over at what's going on over at CNN, over at CBS.
Stephen Colbert, he is out.
There are major layoffs.
Top talent bracing for this at CNN.
Meanwhile, what's going to happen to the Wall Street Journal?
Donald Trump is suing him.
Going totally nuclear over a report he says is totally fake.
Rupert Murdoch, founder of Fox.
Watch out.
Lots going on here today on the Trish Regan Show.
Make sure you subscribe, share, like, all that good stuff.
Great to have you here.
I want to start here on CNN, for goodness sakes, as well as CBS preparing for a storm.
We've talked about this a lot, right?
The media industry is changing.
And as a result of that, some of these big networks, some of these big cable companies, they're not quite keeping up with the times.
And it's caused some financial issues along the way.
And it's also caused a lack in viewership, et cetera, et cetera.
It's quite obvious when you look over at CBS or you look at something like a CNN right now, it's hard for them to keep up.
with this changing media landscape, on top of which they just have their own sort of, well, how do we say, extreme liberal bias.
And that extreme liberal bias is costing them both in terms of viewers and also in terms of goodwill, shall we say, vis-a-vis the administration.
So it all complicates the situation.
We're looking at a restructuring as we speak at CNN.
The company, the parent company, is trying to kind of figure its way forward in this new landscape.
And what it's realized is that the cable assets are like dead weight.
You know, you get all the Anderson Coopers and Jake Tappers and other ones running around and they're costing you a lot of money and they are not helping to bring in any kind of profitability.
So, you know, push comes to shove, what are you going to do?
You're going to fire them or you're going to cut their salaries if they're willing.
So CNN right now, the overpaid talent now, they are bracing themselves for some deep cuts.
The story first appearing in the Washington Free Beacon, I'm hearing from sources internally.
Well, you know, I know a lot of people in the media, shall we say, and they are very scared and they are very nervous and they are looking around.
because they're trying to figure out where else they can go.
The salaries that they were once paying, they just don't exist anymore.
Or if they do, the company's paying the price for it.
It just doesn't make sense.
If you look at this story that came out recently, it was talking about how Warner Brothers Discovery, which is the parent company, of course, of CNN, was making the announcement that CNN and other declining, declining television assets would be split off into a new company that they're calling Global Networks.
You see, because Global Networks is the declining business now, while the conglomerate is promising.
Assets such as Warner Brothers film Studio and the HBO MAX streaming service will form another company, the streaming service.
You see, another company that investors are going to be a whole lot more excited about.
The breakup is expected to take place mid 2026, so sometime next year.
But in the meantime, CNN and its celebrity anchors if you can call them that they are uh, they're in for a rude awakening again, according to this report.
I believe this was in puck.
What they're saying here is that There's going to be a lot of cost cutting.
So they've got to try and prepare for the future.
Well, how do you do that if you've got all these really expensive anchors running around town?
Well, you can lower their salaries.
You can get rid of them.
I don't know why you're paying so darn much to have a teleprompter reader like Anderson Cooper on the payroll.
I mean, I get he was a Vanderbilt and this, that, and the other.
But here's a nice, interesting little nugget here I want to share with you.
Again, as I said, Dylan Byers of Puck is predicting that it's going to get a lot worse for CNN employees, many of whom have yet to come to terms with the industry.
Inexorable decline, layoffs going to be significant, budgets going to be slashed, yet offices that are going to be S-H-I, idiot, and familiar perks will disappear.
This one cracked me up.
So I like this.
This is the Washington Free Beacon writing.
They said former CNN hack, Oliver Darcy, and believe me, this guy's a total hack, not worth your time of day.
He's got some little newsletter out now.
Anyway, he reports that starting next month, CNN employees, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, they're going to have to start submitting expenses when they submit their expense reports.
They're actually going to have to submit receipts.
I don't understand how on earth, how on earth you have a network where nobody has to actually turn in receipts.
I mean, like, doesn't every business have to do that?
Well, employees, they are freaking out.
My God, they're going to have to turn in receipts.
Whoever heard of such a thing?
Frankly, I've worked at a lot of different media companies throughout my career, and I got to tell you, I've never heard of not turning in receipts.
That's just absolutely bizarre, bizarre, bizarre.
But here's the reality, guys.
You know what?
It's a garbage network that puts on garbage TV every single day and night.
And you know what?
The ratings reflect that.
But even if the ratings were awesome, it almost doesn't matter because it's not the future.
The future is here.
Make sure you subscribe, share, like, comment, all that good stuff.
But here, look at the garbage, the garbage that they keep putting on.
It's like, it's hard to watch, but watch.
We don't know if they were looking for someone.
We don't know if they arrested anybody.
But clearly, whoever they were looking for, there was no one there but kids.
Well, I think this is the challenge I have with even talking about this.
We are normalizing a government agency disappearing people.
We are normalizing.
We're talking about it like it's no big deal that they are kidnapping people and transporting them to concentration camps, both domestic and foreign.
That is not.
I think that's kind of insulting to.
I think it's insulting what they're doing.
It is not insulting to Jewish law.
I find it insulting that you could even fix your mouth to defend this.
Are there gusting gas stubborns at these?
It's not a death sentence.
It's a concentration camp what they're doing.
It doesn't matter.
No, you're disappearing people claiming it.
Okay, so I don't need to torment you, but you get the idea.
This is what they're putting on TV, and they call that TV.
There's no value add in there.
They just have these wild fights because somehow they feel like they can channel the view or something.
Just low, low grade television.
Justin M., thank you so much for your generosity.
It's great to have so many viewers here.
Just wonderful.
You know, we're coming up.
Guys, we are coming up on a million, which is just incredible because you know what?
There's been no advertising.
I got to get a website together.
I'm going to put my son in charge of that, okay?
I got to get a website together.
We got to do all these things.
I got to get a newsletter together for you.
I do have 76 research.
Make sure you subscribe.
Code word dollar.
It's going to make you money, so.
Hopefully.
Please make sure that you go and do that.
You can cancel anytime you're just out of dollar.
Anyway, Justin, thank you.
Let's see how well socialism works with their networks.
I mean, I hear you.
They've all got TDS.
It's TDS on steroids.
And, you know, it is another example of it here the other night.
They're blatantly irresponsible.
This woman, I used to actually work with her at Fox, Julie Rodzinski.
Then she sued Fox.
Anyway, she's not the brightest, shall we say?
Like, I mean, I'm just, you know, and it's not just because she's a Dem, but it's because none of these people understand economics, which drives me, yours truly.
who started in finance on Wall Street at Goldman Sachs, absolutely bonkers because nobody actually understands what Econ 101 is.
And then they think they can do something like, oh, let's look at egg prices over the course of the last year instead of since Donald Trump has become president because let's just blame all of Joe Biden's inflation on him.
I do think the panic over this report today is unwarranted, but I do think data is worth watching every month.
But it's not panic.
But it seems like a lot of panic for no reason.
You're getting matched reports every month.
It's not panic when we were promised on August 15th of last year that the price of eggs, that the price of bacon, that the price of eggs is down 69%.
Actually, eggs year over year are up 27%.
They're down.
Since we took office, they're down.
But if you're over here, you're over here.
He promised when he took office they would go down.
Hold on.
Let's not fight about statistics here.
She's right.
Year over year, they are up significantly.
Month over month, they've gone down, but that's from their high, which occurred partly due to bird flu and other things.
So let's be very clear.
He promised three things the price of eggs, the price of bacon, and the price of apples were going to go down.
I can quote him.
It was on August 15th of last year.
He said they're going to go down almost immediately when I become president.
All of them are up.
They're up year over year.
And that's a fact.
And these, you know, you think it's hysteria or whatever you called it.
People are suffering.
You know how I know this?
Because I heard all about that from you last year when I would debate you, and you kept talking about how the price of eggs is really high.
Well, guess what?
It's much higher now than it was when you and I were debating.
People are literally lying about the eggs.
Wait, excuse me.
They are.
No, whoa.
Hey, what happened?
Guys, stop.
Okay, Scott, before you accuse her of lying, I literally just went over this.
She is correct that year over year, the president.
Since Donald Trump took office, what happened to the eggs?
Oh, my God.
Do you not understand that the difference between.
Who was the president last year at this time?
Scott.
And there were a lot of people who were like, I'm sorry, but like, why is this okay to be looking at year-over-year prices?
You see the moronic attitude just because they want some number to fit their statistics.
Here you go, ladies and gentlemen.
Price of eggs since Donald Trump became the president of the United States.
And take a look at that.
We are down big time.
Okay, so when you tell me they're up 27%, for goodness sakes, come on.
You guys are just gross.
That is just unbelievable to me because the reality is you are cherry-picking those numbers and he wasn't even in office.
Unbelievable stuff.
Super chat from Justin M. Thank you so much.
How hilarious is it that the supposed working class people are trying to twist, twist statistics to try to trick their base into believing that Trump is not actually doing better than the last zombie?
I mean, it's awful, okay?
It's irresponsible.
It is not journalism.
It is not journalism.
You know what?
I can promise you one thing here.
Scary Bad CNN Ratings Explained00:12:31
You are going to get the truth and nothing but the truth.
And sometimes you won't even like it.
But I'll always present both sides and I will always be fair.
And I will never twist numbers like that.
That is just gross.
They deserve it.
all to be fired.
I'm sorry.
Just get rid of all of them because the company is suffering and you got idiots like that on television.
You know, he's doing a good job.
He's doing a really, really, really, really good job.
Do I have Tapper?
Because you know Tapper's going to be out of a gig pretty soon.
I bet you, you look at the talent that's most at risk right now and I'm thinking off the top of my head, it's probably Tapper and it's probably Anderson Cooper only because Anderson is making some god-awful, ridiculous amount of money.
If you believe the reports, $15 million for just reading a teleprompter.
There's not a lot.
going on upstairs in the Anderson Cooper brain department and certainly not in the Tapper department.
Tapper is, well, if you ask me, a spokesperson for Deep State and nothing more.
He does exactly as told when he's told to do it.
I love how he came out with a book saying, oh gosh, you know, Biden was in really, really bad shape.
Tapper, you were part of that.
You were the one that wouldn't actually report on what bad shape he was in.
And then when Scarborough asked you, like, what did you see?
We got this.
If you're around a guy for hours and hours and hours, I guess the question is, what's the takeaway here?
What did you learn?
Because did you pick it up in real time?
So, well, I saw what everybody else saw, right?
I saw what everybody else saw, the stumbles in front of the camera.
So, if you saw what everybody else saw, then why wouldn't you report on that?
Why would you actually tell us we were all crazy when we did report on it?
Because I saw all those too, and I told you guys about it, and I said, this is not normal.
Like, this is not normal.
And we all knew that.
And yet, Tapper would sit there with a straight face and actually attack anybody who actually brought this up, including one, Lara Trump.
You remember this?
I'm going to show you.
Every time he comes on stage or they turn to him, I'm like, Joe, can you get it out?
Let's get the words out, Joe.
You kind of feel bad for him.
How do you think it makes little kids with stutters feel when they see you make a comment like that?
First and foremost, I had no idea that Joe Biden ever suffered from a stutter.
I think what we see on stage with Joe Biden, Jake, is very clearly a cognitive decline.
That's what I'm referring to.
It makes me uncomfortable.
You are of no absolute.
It's so amazing.
It's so amazing to me that.
And try and figure out an answer.
A cognitive decline.
You're trying to tell me that what I was suggesting was a stutter.
I think that you were mocking his stutter.
Yeah, I think you were mocking his stutter.
And I think you have absolutely no standing to diagnose somebody's cognitive decline.
I would think.
I'm not saying that somebody in the Trump family would be more sensitive to people who do not have medical licenses diagnosing politicians from afar.
Plenty of people have diagnosed your father from afar, and I'm sure it offends you, your father in law from afar.
I'm sure it offends you.
You don't have any standing to say.
I'm not diagnosing him.
What I'm saying, Jim, is that Joe Biden is the one who's been at times on stage, and it's very concerning to a lot of people that this could be the leader of the free world.
Okay.
That is all I'm saying.
I genuinely am so sorry for Joe Biden.
I appreciate it.
I'm sure.
Yeah.
That's the guy.
That's the guy who somehow thinks that, you know, he knew it all, all along.
He's one of the ones that is most at risk at this moment in time, which is, I think, in a way, why he came out with this book.
He kind of knows it.
And that's why he's trying to maybe try and court himself with the conservative media, going on conservative podcasts, trying to like talk a good game as though, oh, you know, I'm the one who called him out.
No, you didn't.
You're the one who sat there.
lied through your teeth.
Like, just be honest, people.
I'm sick of it.
And you know what?
The public is sick of it.
And this is why nobody's watching you.
I mean, CNN's ratings, they're scary bad, okay?
They're really, really scary bad.
And, you know, they deserve it.
I mean, in the meantime, you get Anderson Cooper, like I said, making 15, allegedly, reportedly, $15 million a year for reading a teleprompter.
There's never been a teleprompter this guy doesn't want to read.
I mean, he even reads the questions, for goodness sakes, off the teleprompter because, oh, when he doesn't read the teleprompter, guess what comes out?
Obscenities.
Like this.
Money for migrants, that's okay now?
No, I'm not saying it's okay.
Don't put words in my mouth.
So, would you stop that?
Would you stop that process?
Don't be a dick.
What I'm saying is the portrayal by him is just not factually accurate.
He's talking about.
Okay, so you know what?
He's one of the ones.
These are the hosts.
I'm going to correct the spelling here on our lower third the hosts that are most at risk for salary and job cuts, maybe a salary cut.
You know, Wolf Blitzer, I don't know.
What does Wolf Blitzer do for you?
I mean, he's the hardest working man in show business.
Every time I turn CNN on, he's doing like three hours of TV.
And, you know, he's got that really terrible anchor that he works alongside who really likes to read the teleprompter, including the questions from the teleprompter.
You know how I know this?
Because sometimes the guest answers the question before she even asks it.
But then she goes and reads the question.
And you're sitting there going, my gosh, the guy just said that, for goodness sakes.
If you listened, if you could do your job, you would know that.
But none of these people actually are good at their job.
I don't know how they get these jobs.
I don't know how they stay in these jobs.
But the truth is, if they were good, they'd be right here.
They'd be over here with no teleprompter.
No nothing.
No.
You know what?
There's just me and you here.
Whole different ballgame.
Make sure you subscribe, share, like.
I'll tell you, though, that industry is really, really struggling.
And, you know, it's coming at a very good time because Donald Trump is proving them all wrong over and over and over again.
And it's kind of funny.
I mean, they had to read their own poll the other day on the air.
Did you see this one?
Let me just share with you CNN having to read its own poll.
In a state of disbelief, there's this new CNN polling out today that says quite a bit.
Just 28% of Americans view the Democratic Party favorably.
And the context of that is that is the lowest mark for Democrats in the history of CNN's polling going back to 1992.
And for Democrats, they have a lot more work to do to win back favorability within their ranks, within the party, than Republicans do.
That must have killed them, right?
I mean, their own poll, for goodness sakes.
No one likes the Democrats.
No one likes CNN.
No one likes cable.
No one likes network.
Everybody is over here, and that's a good thing.
It's a good thing for me, obviously, but you know what?
It's a good thing for you because you don't have to deal with news that has been manipulated.
Manipulated by the higher-ups the networks that are trying to control everything and there's a lot of control that goes into it And there's a lot of bias that goes into it Colbert is finding out the hard way that you know his bias didn't go over so well They are getting rid of Colbert no more Stephen Colbert on a late night television They just announced they're gonna end the late show with Stephen Colbert next year on CBS Now they're saying the reason is financial.
I'm sure it is.
I mean, I'm sure that he costs too much money.
I'm sure the live studio audience with the people that tell them to clap and cheer and laugh at any given time that costs too much money The view, they're going to suffer the same fate, by the way, because they have the same issue going on.
They have way too many producers on the show.
And in an environment like this now, where this show is lagging, certainly compared to, say, Gutfeld, they don't need it.
Who needs it?
I don't need to watch this show.
Apparently the ratings were, like, okay enough, but they're still getting rid of it.
Now, why might that be?
Jimmy Kimmel, he's very upset about this over at ABC.
Oh, how dare you get rid of my buddy?
How dare you?
How dare you?
Oh, and then there were some obscenities involved, because that's where they keep going these days, f f f f, everything.
You know what, guys?
I'm over it.
Clean it up.
Okay, clean it up anyway.
It wasn't just Jimmy that was upset, you had the Atlantic freaking out.
Oh, they published a big, big article last night as this news broke.
They were quick on it.
How dare you.
How dare you?
The whole CBS franchise is going down the tubes because a Summoner, Redstone's daughter, wants to sell it to Skydance and in order to get her skydance merger approved.
Paramount and Skydance, Paramount's a company that owns CBS.
Well, she's going to have to go through the FCC, and that means that there's a threat of the Trump administration not approving it.
I don't actually think that has anything to do with anything.
I actually think the show's just a bad show that's costing them way too much money.
And if you talk to the CBS people, and that's the party line, right?
They're trying to say, oh, it's just too expensive.
It's too expensive.
Of course it's too expensive because you get Stephen Colbert charging you an arm and a leg.
You get a zillion producers that you don't need, and you get the live studio audience that is a complete waste of time.
I'm sorry, like, it's done.
It's over.
Those days are finito, okay?
Finito.
So we don't need these anymore.
And the Atlantic wants to make it political.
They're trying to say this is all because, you know, journalism is dead.
Oh, Colbert's journalism?
Are you kidding me?
He's a comedy show.
That's all it is, okay?
And it's not even funny.
It's totally not even funny, at least not for half the country.
So it seems fitting that the guy is toast in a moment like this, right?
Stephen Colbert, he is out.
There's a cute little montage that somebody on Twitter, May's account, which is kind of fun.
You should follow them if you can.
They put this one together.
I want to show you because it shows you Colbert through the years and how he changed and how he just got really bitter because of Donald Trump.
Donald Trump has been sworn in as president of the United States.
I know.
Listen, listen, we're just as confused as you are.
Joe Biden did it.
I sat down and just started crying with relief.
And Evie said, You never have to talk about him again.
And then I cried with joy.
After a bizarre and vicious campaign fueled by a desperate need not to go to jail, Donald Trump has won the 2024 election.
Next year will be our last season.
The network will be ending The Late Show in May.
Sweet Justice, what do you think?
Did he deserve it?
Okay, so he had TDS.
But I do actually believe that it's more than just TDS.
I do actually also believe.
That this medium is done for because there's a way cheaper way to do it and a more sort of authentic, real way to do it.
And we have discovered that here.
I mean, I'm just so happy.
I was telling someone just yesterday, they're like, do you ever regret not working for a network?
And I'm like, are you kidding me?
And then I launched into this like 20 minute thing and I'm like, sorry, you kind of got me a little triggered there.
I never regret it, not for one day, because for the first time in my career, and believe me, I've worked for a lot of networks, I have total.
control and total ownership of what I'm doing and a direct connection and relationship with all of you.
And that is where so much more.
We started this channel sort of faithfully going live every single day.
We don't even have a regular time slot.
We're working on that.
But, you know, I got a lot going on.
I got three kids and the whole thing.
And by the way, I get so excited about everything that I'm putting into the show.
Sometimes it takes a little longer than expected, but we'll work on that.
That, you know, there's New Year's resolutions that we can start in July, right?
But what I'd say is the point is we've gone live.
Every single day and we've put out content for you every single day and you guys have responded and it's just an amazing thing to see, knowing that you know what.
You trust me, I trust you and together we have built something, coming up on a million subs with no marketing and no outside influence, just what we're doing right here.
So it shows you it can be done and this is the right way, and you're getting a better quality, more authentic product than what you're gonna get say, on the late show with their scripted jokes for goodness sakes, I mean, it's not even like it's funny, for goodness sakes.
NPR, PBS, and State Media Bias00:04:52
On top of which, you know what?
It's not just this guy that's over.
It's not just CNN that's over.
It is NPR and PBS and state media in general.
And boy, oh boy, oh, they hate this over at CNN.
I mean, you'd think that CNN was PBS the way they're carrying on with their long faces.
The guy who's their, like, media reporter, oddly, he used to actually host a show, which shows you they have no idea how to pick anchors.
This is Brian Steller, and here he is.
Not happening now.
No, this is the end of a publicly funded media era.
This dates back to the days of black and white television.
You know, back in the 60s, Congress saw a value for PBS and NPR, but no more.
As a result of this rescission, radio and TV stations will have to lay off staffers and cut back on programming.
Some smaller stations will suffer more than bigger stations, right?
Popular shows like Daniel Tiger's.
Ooh, Daniel Tiger.
We're going to miss him, right?
Not.
Anyway, look.
It's done.
Guys, it's done.
You know what?
You guys, the bias was too much, and the pendulum swings.
And the pendulum is swinging back to the center.
And we're sick of all the woke bias and the nonsense.
And it's coming to a head.
Caroline Levitt pointing out, you know what?
PBS and NPR, they're not doing anybody any good.
The CEO of NPR, she's claiming that the cuts to their network will, quote, be a real risk to the public safety of the country.
Congressman Murkowski has argued that public broadcasting stations save lives.
Could you respond to these concerns?
The NPR CEO said cutting NPR will be a risk to public safety.
I am not sure how NPR helps the public safety of our country, but I do know that NPR unfortunately has become really just a propaganda voice for the left.
Just a few examples for you.
In 2020, NPR refused to cover the Hunter Biden laptop scandal in the run up to the election.
They said their assertions don't amount to much, writing they did not want to waste the listeners' and readers' time on stories that are just Pure distractions.
That does not sound like an unbiased opinion.
That sounds like a partisan opinion to me.
And this is a taxpayer funded organization.
In 2018, that same CEO that you're talking about called the president in the Oval Office, who nearly 80 million Americans elected, she called him racist.
Shared a photo of herself wearing a Biden for President campaign hat, serves on the board of a Soros funded activist group.
In 2020, PBS's White House correspondent at the time characterized President Trump's speech then at Mountain Rushmore as a love letter to white resentment promoting the myth of America.
In 2017, PBS devoted an entire panel talking about what it means to be woke and white privilege.
In 2023, PBS's Washington Week Roundtable covered up Joe Biden's clear mental divide.
That's actually quite the clip.
I would encourage all of you to look at it.
These are not honest news organizations, these are partisan, left wing outlets that are funded by the taxpayers.
And this administration does not believe it's a good use of the taxpayers' time and money.
Thank you very much.
Couldn't agree more.
Absolutely, positively.
You know what?
They've run their course.
So they're done.
They're over and TDS killed them, but wokeism killed them and you know what.
There's plenty of other ways.
You know where would you get an emergency alert?
You'd get it on your cell phone.
You wouldn't get it from NPR.
Come on like we don't need them anymore, not with all the wokeism that they pushed non-stop.
It was really gross.
I mean, this woman, I loved this testimony.
I showed some of you guys this yesterday.
I just want to show you a quick quick quick, quick clip, because the woman who ran NPR, Catherine Moore, I mean she was just totally raked over the coals by Brandon Gill, junior congressman out of Texas, because he came with receipts.
And she is so woke.
Like, I don't know how you get more woke than this woman.
And that's the woman that's running the entire network.
A woman who, by the way, did a TED talk on how there's no such thing as truth.
Like, really?
Like, did I think there's no such thing as truth?
Okay, lady.
And then there's this.
Would you say you generally agree or disagree with the following statement?
The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles?
I would not say I agree with that, sir.
You do not.
That's good to hear.
It's interesting because a lot of your thinking, as expressed by your public statements, is deeply infused with economic and cultural Marxism.
Do you believe that America is addicted to white supremacy?
I believe that I tweeted that, and as I've said earlier, I believe much of my thinking has evolved over the last half decade.
America Addicted to White Supremacy00:01:32
It has evolved.
Why did you tweet that?
I don't recall the exact context, sir, so I wouldn't be able to say.
Okay.
Do you believe that America believes in black plunder and white democracy?
I don't believe that, sir.
You tweeted that in reference to a book you were reading at the time, apparently, The Case for Reparations.
I don't think I've ever read that book, sir.
You tweeted about it.
You said you took a day off to fully read The Case for Reparations.
You put that on Twitter in January of 2020.
God, that's good.
Okay, sorry.
I'm probably blowing out my audio right now and getting so excited.
But that was.
priceless.
Okay.
So that is the woman who was in charge of NPR where she just lost $1.1 billion because the house is going to approve this one too.
So it's game over.
State media has come to an end.
CNN is coming to its end.
Colbert has come to its end.
CBS, as you know it.
Bye I don't even know if 60 Minutes really is going to exist anymore.
Certainly not in its current form.
And you know what?
That's for the better because we're sick of this.
Okay.
We're sick of this.
And you know what else?
It's getting worse.
It's getting worse.
And I got a lot of suspicions about the next story I'm going to tell you about because Donald Trump is now taking on the founder of Fox News.
That would be the Murdoch family.
Lachlan, Rupert.
Well, you see, the Murdochs own the Wall Street Journal, and the Wall Street Journal came out with a really tawdry, disgusting report that suggests, oh, maybe Donald Trump had a little more to do with Epstein than you thought.
