Episode 588 – I Thought Walls Were Bad?

The new CEO of the network is gutting it to improve their ratings and he’s warning that he’s not done.

Joe Biden is taking another vacation in Delaware again but he has good reason.

And corruption is corruption no matter who does it.

 

The News

Here’s some news:

  • Just in: Anthony Fauci, head of the NIH, has announced he is leaving in December of this year. I guess he realizes he’s not going to make much money making bad decisions about monkey pox.
  • A judge ruled that the Department of Justice must release the affidavit.
    • This was the same judge, Judge Bruce Reinhart, who signed the warrant.
    • He said this was a historic, unprecedented action that has national attention and it must be released.
    • The judge will allow the DOJ to redact material.
    • The DOJ must send the sealed and redacted affidavit by Thursday.
    • We might be able to see this thing by next week, depending on the negotiation with the redactions.
  • Finally, Education Secretary, Miguel Cardona, said there would be a decision of student loan forgiveness by the end of the month.
    • Of course, it isn’t loan forgiveness. It’s paying off their loans with tax payer money.
    • This will raise college fees and that’s called inflation.
    • This is not a popular policy because it is seen as providing for the upper class while putting on the backs of the working class.

Goodbye, Good Luck and Good Riddance

CNN is in big trouble. Their viewership is in the toilet. The Home and Garden Network has higher rating than CNN and that’s not an example. One of the reasons they are having so many problems is because they are a slanted news network that has always sold itself as non-partisan news network. They are anything than that.

Next problem they had was Donald Trump. Not because he did anything but because he left office in 2020. It appears fairly obvious that Trump was keeping people listening to the network. With Trump gone, no one cares and no one is watching. In fact, I would bet they are all secretly praying that Trump gets re-elected in 2020.

Finally, the corruption.

  • The Jeffrey Toobin disaster.
  • The lies which were pushed by Jeff Zucker.
  • The problems with Don Lemon grabbing men.
  • The problem of Chris Cuomo working with his brother.
  • Jeff Zucker having sex with coworkers.
  • And, of course, Brian Stelter looking way too much like the Stay Puff Marshmellow Man.

Well, they didn’t help themselves last week.

Gas prices have been going down over the last month. It’s dropped a dollar a gallon, which is something the President has been touting. Mind you, he blames everyone else when something goes wrong, but takes all the credit when things go in the right direction. CNN decided to go with their bot and doubt how everyone is getting a $100 raise or a $100 tax deduction.

Needless to say, this is the dumbest, most partisan thing they could come up with.

  • First off, gas prices were at $2.38 a gallon when Biden took over.
  • Gas prices went up to $5.00 a gallon.
  • Now, they have dropped to $3.53 a gallon. Still a dollar over what we were paying under Trump. Gas prices are still high.
  • In California, gas prices dropped about a dollar but still remain at over $5 a gallon. Some stations are still at $6.20 a gallon. That’s from $2.50 a gallon before Biden took over.
  • Let’s not forget another thing. Break, dairy, meat, energy, rent, cars and housing is all up!
  • That $100 raise or tax deduction doesn’t seem like that much especially since he has decided to raise taxes!

Needless to say, people blasted CNN.

Financial analyst Gordon Johnson tweeted:

“Next time you stop at a gas station remember prices are STILL up ~90% since @POTUS took office, you are paying in after-tax dollars, and the draining of the SPR in the U.S. ends in Oct, just in time for mid-terms, which will contribute to gas prices going RIGHT BACK UP.”

Psychologist Geoffrey Miller responded:

“Next time you read anything @CNN says, think of it as shameless propaganda for the @DNC.”

Ted Cruz tweeted:

“Orwellian. Next, CNN is going to try to convince you that 2+2=5. In the meantime — since truth still matters — gas prices are UP nearly 65% since Biden took office.”

Yep. No one believes this crap. I wonder what CNN is going to say when unemployment goes up within the next couple of months? It’s going to happen. The biggest retailers including Target, Amazon, Walmart and Tesla have all taken losses in the last quarter and have the benefit of an addition 25% tax put on them. What do you think they are going to do? Well, guess what, they think laying off people is the way to handle it too. More on this later

Here’s the thing, CNN doesn’t believe in this crap either.

The new CEO, Chris Licht has been on fire.

  • Jeff Zucker is gone.
  • Chris Cuomo is gone.
  • Jeffry Toobin is gone.
  • It sounds like it is only a matter of weeks before Don Lemon is gone.

Apparently, he’s gone out there and scared and angered everyone at CNN. He has openly said that the station needs to become more non-partisan like it was in the past in order to earn the trust of the viewers.

Apparently he had an all-hands meeting last week. Licht started to evaluate the hyper-partisan so-called “talent” at the network shortly after he joined CNN as he aimed to dial down the extreme partisanship that has plagued the network in recent years.

He said:

“I want to acknowledge that this is a time of significant change, and I know that many of you are unsettled. There will be more changes, and you might not understand it or like it.”

I think this is great. Not because I like CNN but because I used to love CNN. I wanted to know the news, I watched CNN. During 9/11, I watched CNN. I always liked CNN until they became a bunch of partisan hacks who tout for the Democrats. Why is Fox News doubling the ratings of the next competitor, MSNBC? Is it because they are right wing or just that they are more balanced? CNN is not balanced at all. There is one point of view. There are no debates or arguments.

It’s boring.

I also think another station that is more balanced is good for the country and the First Amendment!

What Does This Guy Give?

It’s been a slow news weekend because old Joe took another trip to Delaware again. This time he had a reason to go. He needed to inspect the new fence the government is building around his Delaware mansion.

The fence will cost $500,000 and is being paid with tax payer money. The excuse is that he’s the President and requires extra security.

I just want to remind you of a few things:

  • President Trump was in office for four years. All the rest of his life he built a business.
  • President Trump donated his entire salary to charity. He didn’t make a dime in the White House.
  • President Trump’s values went from $4 billion to $2 billion while he was President.
  • Joe Biden was first elected to the Senate at the age of 29. He’s going to be 80 years old.
  • He has never run a business, never hired and paid employees with his own money and is worth around $20 million. How’d that happen at $100 thousand a year?
  • Joe Biden does not donate any of his salary to anybody.

Think about that next time he claims to give a crap about anybody but himself.

 

Corruption Is Corruption

If this is true then it makes sense why this is done. My problem is Los Angeles, and California in general, is so corrupt that nothing would surprise me.

According to the daily Wire:

An exclusive report by RedState found that the campaign to recall Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón was unsuccessful due to the campaign’s negligence and willingness to turn in invalid petition signatures, mislead donors, and allegedly request workers to break the law. 

On August 15, LA County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk (RRCC) Dean Logan announced that the recall campaign had not successfully turned in the necessary amount of signatures. Of the more than 715,000 signatures given to Logan, over 195,000 were found to be invalid. 

“Based on the examination and verification, which conducted in compliance with the statutory and regulatory requirements of the California Government Code, Elections Code, and Code of Regulations, 520,050 signatures were found to be valid and 195,783 were found to be invalid,” Logan’s office said in a news release.

The recall effort needed to submit 566,857 valid petition signatures in order to qualify for the ballot in November. 

Wow. So the invalidated the same number that pushed them over the needed signatures? Interesting.

The article continues:

Cassandra Vandenberg was widely known as the person in charge of the committee, but an anonymous whistleblower told RedState that Vandenberg was aware signatures were being included from people who were located outside of the county or non-voters and told campaign staff to keep them on the petitions “because we need the numbers.”

RedState reportedly spoke to witnesses and examined documents that showed a large number of circulators — the people who collect the signatures — didn’t finish the attestation section correctly. The person who collected the signatures is required to attest to every page of signatures. These mistakes were not noticed by hired validation firms, the firm that collected signatures, or the campaign committee until the petitions were almost ready to be submitted on July 6, according to the report. 

Some things:

  • Red State is not a Left wing outlet. They are a Republican group. If they say there was some funny business, there might have been.
  • Two things can be true at once:
    • The recall effort was corrupt.
    • The government auditors were also corrupt.
    • Unfortunately, two negatives here don’t make a positive.

Listen, none of this is good. George Gascon needs to be recalled. He is terrible in Los Angeles. But if the petitions were corupt, it’s hard to accept that. As a Conservative, I do not buy the “ends justify the means” argument. But I still have a few problems here:

  • George Gascon escapes another recall attempt and remains one of the worst DAs in history.
  • California is still an extremely corrupt state. I still question this report.
  •  Everything is so bad in Los Angeles and, yet, nothing changes.
