What happened with Matt Gaetz's nomination?
It kind of pings back Democrat, Republican on who they think will be better for them economically. But these companies are now distressed assets. They are melting ice cubes. I know a lot of people at MSNBC. The anchors are like pilots in the 70s. They're hugely prestigious. People like them. They're banging stewardesses. But they're pilots for Pan Am. They know their numbers are limited.
They know that in about 10 years, they're going to be flying Amarillo to Dallas for Spirit Airlines at $68K a year. These are really declining assets. They can still make a lot of money. They still get incredibly talented people. But anyways, back to this. I just think it's fucking hilarious, the idea that Elon Musk— Would buy MSNBC.
Everyone would leave or everyone of any talent would leave and you were trying to make it into something else. I don't know. I gotta be honest. I think it would be fucking hilarious. Your thoughts?
I mean, I don't know. I feel bad because I like a lot of the people at MSNBC. And I feel like having Elon Musk as your boss is the worst. And I think it's important. Listen, Fox is up. Like our viewership is through the roof since the election and the lead up to the election.
And I hope that that continues because I want to be able to pay for my kids to go to the Big Apple Circus as many times as possible. But That's called Raging Moderates. It's called podcasting. Is that what it is?
Yeah. Great. Help me out. Subscribe. You are the economic bellwether here. Right now, a 34-year-old Jess Tarlow has more options than than almost any person in media right now. And you chose a podcast with the dog. That's right. That says it all. You could have literally been primetime, and don't lie to me. You could have been primetime MSNBC, and you decided to do this Joey Bag of Donuts podcast.
Because here's the thing. We're going like this. This is me making a hand signal up. And MSNBC and even even even your good friends at Fox. I mean, they're the I used to say the tallest midget. And then I found out that all Democrats think that's hateful. You're the fastest tortoise. That's the more politically correct way to say. Yeah, you're the fastest tortoise. But anyways.
I don't mind that. But what what happens? A lot of people will leave, obviously. But I do think that there is a real problem with the psyche of the average MSNBC viewer that they're like losing their minds that Joe and Mika would even have a conversation with President-elect Donald Trump. I didn't think it was that bad.
It's insane to me. Like, don't you want any access also to the most powerful man in the world? 100%. They did the right thing.
