collins oh trump's right again about uh air force one no what'd you say she was doing an interview
00:00:45.580
and a clip went viral she said uh yeah it's really hard to be on air force one with trump because uh
00:00:50.120
as a journalist he doesn't cover what he's doing he didn't sleep so he wants to talk to someone
00:00:53.700
his staff hey go wake him up i want to talk to him it's the whole flight and he sleeps like three
00:00:57.900
hours so he's just constantly waking people up incredible love it i freaking love it my playing
00:01:03.200
my rules but let me tell you though that is why he is who he is he goes at a pace and everybody has to
00:01:11.380
go match his pace and it's not an easy job if you remember the first term a lot of people couldn't
00:01:16.380
hang this time around rubio's hanging latnik's hanging vance is trying to hang with goff's
00:01:23.600
hanging kushner came out of retirement and he's hanging right he got a bunch of bunch of different
00:01:27.720
people that are it's a beast yeah but last point do you have that clip do you have that clip rob
00:01:32.820
about uh uh abc and what happened with the jd vance of stepanopoulos and what trump said to that
00:01:38.360
maybe let's wrap up with that let's wrap up with that why didn't the lawyers just help alex
00:01:42.800
no rob go go to the vance interview first and distribute it yeah so here's a good question
00:01:48.060
here's here's vance talking to stepanopoulos okay and stepanopoulos is not letting him finish
00:01:55.420
his points just watch it folks go ahead rob if this is the one go ahead i don't know what tape
00:02:01.280
you're referring to george i saw media reports that tom homan accepted a bribe there's no evidence of
00:02:06.840
that and here's george why fewer and fewer people watch your program and why you're losing credibility
00:02:12.640
because you're talking for now five minutes with the vice president united states about this story
00:02:17.940
regarding tom homan a story that i've read about but i don't even know the video that you're talking
00:02:22.680
about meanwhile low-income women can't get food because the democrats and chuck schumer have shut
00:02:28.420
down the government right now we're trying to figure out how to pay our troops because chuck schumer
00:02:32.560
has shut down the government you are focused on a bogus story you're insinuating criminal wrongdoing
00:02:38.340
against a guy who has done nothing wrong instead of focusing on the fact that our country is
00:02:44.020
struggling because our government's shut down let's talk about the real issues george i think
00:02:48.760
the american people would benefit much more from that than from you going down some weird left-wing
00:02:53.780
rabbit hole where the facts clearly show that tom homan didn't engage in any criminal wrongdoing
00:02:58.500
it's not a weird left-wing rabbit hole i didn't insinuate anything i asked you whether
00:03:02.600
tom homan accepted fifty thousand dollars as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the fbi
00:03:07.640
in september 2024 and you did not answer the question thank you for your time this morning
00:03:12.380
no george i said that i don't up next we'll be right back wow okay so you cut off the vice
00:03:19.560
president and you don't let him come back there is a guy who works at this thing called the white
00:03:24.940
house off of pennsylvania avenue that saw that clip and here's what he did go ahead rob
00:03:28.760
questions from the news and i'm sure they'll be extremely non-hostile and friendly like jd went
00:03:37.060
through a very friendly interview with george slopodopoulos who is nice enough to pay me 16
00:03:42.480
million dollars the last time we came he had to pay 16 million dollars to me which was good it was
00:03:48.220
worth it it was worth having somebody lie if you get 16 million dollars that's good but jd had a very
00:03:55.680
nasty person interviewing him and we can't let that happen just as inappropriate to cut off a
00:04:02.300
highly respected vice president of the united states mid-sentence it was i guess it's one way to
00:04:08.520
win an argument that was the only way he was going to win the argument so it was pretty inappropriate i
00:04:12.540
want to tell you that i love that i love backing up your guys i love you know doing a message like
00:04:20.160
that how do you process this yourself pom well the uh the number one thing that's running through the
00:04:24.320
white house's loyalty you see this across every single one of them they're all loyal to him he's
00:04:28.200
loyal to them uh and i think that they knew going into this that they learned from the first term that
00:04:33.000
they were going to be attacked every single day non-stop and the only way to get through it is you
00:04:36.920
got to lock arms and take it on head first so i think that's that's one big lesson but the other
00:04:40.840
thing is uh actually in a weird way it's good for jd that he got cut off because now everyone goes and
00:04:49.360
watches the clip of him basically making his point because part of the thing that people forget is
00:04:54.040
like a lot of folks don't watch these shows correct so the clip is where the attention so
00:04:59.760
whatever george asked him for 20 minutes or 10 minutes or whatever before nobody has any clue
00:05:04.220
all they know is george asked a question and jd vance smacked him down right and it's the
00:05:09.060
disrespect to him that ends up making it go viral later so in a weird way it's like that the
00:05:13.940
controversy actually drives the awareness of the point so in other words abc if you're looking for a
00:05:19.560
chief content creator pompliano will be willing to take that offer for a thousand bitcoins if you
00:05:24.700
want to make an offer he's here you can uh send him a message he's taking offers tom go ahead tom
00:05:30.000
no i mean it's it's so funny you've got 400 000 people watching george stefanopoulos show and then
00:05:34.900
you have 1.6 million people i'd love to know what is like you know we talk about the multiple in value
00:05:40.420
for ebitda gives you a multiple in value for purchase i'm wondering what the multiple in value for
00:05:45.660
social media is when a traditional network news network flubs like that i'd like to figure out
00:05:53.200
i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm gonna ask this guy i call you i'm saying can we figure this out
00:05:56.780
so that we do you see where i'm going pat like media makes a flub and it guarantees a 5x
00:06:02.520
circulation of what they don't want you to see well here's the you know the biggest thing right now
00:06:07.400
that it's business media for sure but i think it's happening across the country the number one thing
00:06:11.800
these guys are all trying to figure out is there's a crisis of talent go look at business media in
00:06:15.900
particular everyone is getting longer in their career so if you want that new generation if you
00:06:21.240
want the new perspective who do you go and find they're trying to figure out who to do that but
00:06:24.920
most of the people who would have been that talent they're going on the internet and said i could just
00:06:27.920
do it direct myself and so i think that i don't know about politics as much but definitely the
00:06:31.900
business media that's us remember david faber and aaron rush sorkin were the young guys
00:06:35.480
yeah now they're the uncles he's still old he's still young though oh andrew ross yeah he's got
00:06:41.760
a by the way he's got a new book that came out yesterday i think he's coming on the podcast next
00:06:44.880
week or right there isn't it rob yeah 1929 yeah 1929 just turned hold it up high something like that
00:06:51.980
yeah yeah 1929 anyways so the uh the problem with stefanopoulos and i guess the and the the lame
00:06:58.600
stream media is they're still looking for that gotcha moment they're still trying to expose uh the other
00:07:05.000
side here you have you have the you have the sitting vp of the united states yeah don't you
00:07:10.320
want to have at least a cordial relationship with someone like this because they're expecting it it's
00:07:14.920
almost like the eight mile thing it's like i already know what you're gonna say you're gonna try to get
00:07:18.920
me and i have this line ready to go and this is why nobody watches your show he was ready for that
00:07:24.540
jd and they try to he loves you know that and and and rather than than talking about the 10 million
00:07:31.180
illegal aliens whatever the number is that have come through the border when you're guarding tom
00:07:34.600
home and you want to kind of get them in this 50 000 bribe thing that jd vance has nothing to do
00:07:40.480
with and then if you look at the you know trust and media rate rankings that we talked about
00:07:44.420
recently and how that's plummeting but if you look at the big three abc nbc cbs if you scroll down a
00:07:50.580
little bit nbc has the highest quote-unquote trust rankings of the three then cbs and then abc is less than
00:07:58.040
the new york times less than new york times one of the most leftist uh red newspapers in the country
00:08:04.940
look at wapo went the other way around cnn all the way at the bottom go a little bit low rob let's
00:08:09.980
see what the atlantic is which is yeah absolutely wow even though msnbc is number two they're one of
00:08:16.220
the lowest of the lowest la times new york post interesting politico this is like uh if you go
00:08:23.300
to the top it'll give you the the exact phrase of what it is trust to me i've changed so meaning
00:08:27.720
that it hasn't changed much good for you weather channel the weather market well you know the
00:08:34.460
weather channel is the most you want to know credible source out there so uh it's fascinating
00:08:38.980
because uh news corp they've made a big play into the new uh into the weather because they see that as
00:08:44.800
one of the next big battlegrounds between the uh entire uh culture wars the politics etc is
00:08:50.420
because of climate change well interesting that's important but also if you want people to watch
00:08:56.020
the weather channel the host of the weather channel makes the weather better so you have to almost
00:09:02.660
like true it it has a little bit to do with talent of the person giving how the weather is doing
00:09:08.360
right i remember that's part of the strategy i i don't if you're targeting you single uh you know
00:09:13.020
males yeah but i mean listen in miami we know what the weather is we do a weather channel we bring
00:09:18.380
