This is the hour, hour number two of the Rob Carson show on this glorious Thursday. Is it starting to warm up where you are? Because it's warming up where I am. We're above 40 yesterday. It's kind of similar. It's like when I lived in Minnesota. I lived in Minneapolis for a number of years. And you know, the winters up there are brutal. And by the way, right now, actually the worst snows. A lot of the times in Minnesota are April. That's just the way it is. It's really weird. It's really weird. But things have started to warm up. I'm holding my breath. I'm not saying anything about the weather, but it's starting to warm up. And I don't know about you, but this year I got cabin fever so bad. Been utterly, utterly ridiculous. So hopefully spring just around the corner. I think all of us could use a little spring, right? Couldn't we use a little spring right about now? So real quick, James Van Der Beek passed away. That was a real tragedy. He's 48 years old and colon cancer. Dawson Creek, I think, was a big, kind of more of a millennial show for Gen X. It was Melrose Place and Friends and all of that. But he seemed like a hell of a nice guy and I'm very disappointed. I'm sad for him. He seemed like a really good guy. So that's all I'm going to say about it. I just want to mention it because I, you know, I've seen a few episodes. I wasn't really into it. You know, Dawson's Creek, I mean, what adult man was, it's kind of a little more of a girl show. Am I wrong? Am I wrong? Whatever. Anyway, there you go. There you go. CNN has lost two thirds of its viewership since 2016. Now you would think that if you're, your numbers were that bad, you would try to investigate the reason why and you would try to make a course correction. They haven't done that. 2016 is when they really started to bed down with, with the Russia collusion hoax. And I mean without any question whatsoever, and then repeat everything that the government told them to say. There was no dissent at all. Whatever they say, you take the vaccine, mandate it. If you don't take it, you're wrong. And look at the bloodbath that's happen yet. Chris Cuomo don Lemon, let me see. There have been a whole bunch of people fired from, from seeing it. Wolf Blitzer still there, I guess. But they've lost two thirds of their viewerships. 2016. Newsmax has gone through the ceiling, by the way, since then. And one of the many reasons why Newsmax is, is done that is that Newsmax doesn't betray its, its values. And Newsmax likes to maintain some sort of level of journalistic curiosity. That's why I'm very proud to be part of, of Newsmax. And this week, I don't know if you saw that Rob Schmidt was in Venezuela. The first news organization in Venezuela since Maduro's captures a fascinating interview. Chris Ruddy was down there from Newsmax. It was fascinating to, to watch. And you know, people just get tired of being lied to. People just getting tired being lied to. If you get a chance to, you can get Newsmax on cable, streaming or download the Newsmax app or get a Newsmax plus membership. But there you go. CN thirds of its primetime viewers over the past decade. The decrease from roughly 1.3 million 2016 to 550 or 533, no, 553,000 now is fueling rumors of a possible network sale, something CNN's up for grabs. Parent company has VM and they denied, you know, they just got rid of Ms. NBC called it Ms. Now still doing the same nonsense. And it would be easy to fix. Right? It's like the Washington Post, the Washington Post, they, they're still thinking that one of their editors who was fired the other day said they're not hard enough on Donald Trump. And I'm like, no, all you have to do is be journalists. All you have to do is cover things fairly. All you have to do is, you know, everybody knows that there was something wrong with 2020. Everybody knows that we didn't need to shut the schools down with COVID Everybody knows that the southern border was wide open. Everybody knows Joe Biden's brain is made of pudding. Everybody knows that. And when you constantly go on and you, and you say that, no, no, no, the opposite is true. Or you don't report on a great economy, or you report on nonsense, or you say that, you know, ice are Nazis and whatnot, you're gonna lose your butts. And I thought it was kind of funny. Washington Post staffers tried to enter the building in protest. Now, have any of you been fired before? Okay, what generally happens when you get fired? Well, sometimes you find out the morning of when your card key doesn't work and you're like, huh, this is weird. You know, you rub it on the table and beep, beep, beep. It's still not letting me in. What the hell? And then you get a text and it says something like, hey, can you come see Terry in hr? Would you mind to come up and talk to Terry in HR after your show? And you go, oh, crap. Well, the Washington Post staffers don't realize that their jobs are gone. And they think that, like, you know, in Minneapolis, they can just go out and protest and scream and yell and holler and go into Target and, you know, all this and think that it's going to make a difference, that they'll go, oh, you know, son of a gun, you are exactly right. We should have never fired you. What were we thinking? Come on in. We'll give you your old jobs back and we'll continue bleeding the money we were paying you because nobody reads the paper anymore. So they decided to pull a temper tantrum yesterday and lead a brigade of fired Washington Post employees into the Washington Post. Here's the audio. As they enter the building, discover their key cards don't work.
