Should Elon Buy MSNBC?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Okay, this is an absolutely brilliant and I mean brilliant
point by Mark on Messenger. He messaged me this actually
about an hour ago. So as I was mentioning in
my opening monologue, the ratings for whether it's CNN or

(00:20):
MSDNC or whatever it's, they're cratering. I mean, they are
crashing and burning, they are tanking. It is so bad
that CNN is now going to lay off hundreds hundreds
of employees, including a lot of their so called quote
unquote on air talent. Okay, they're non talent. Okay, there's

(00:43):
no talent at CNN. So all these blowhards that got
the election completely wrong, and we're warning about the coming
Hitler Trump dictatorship now look like absolute buffoons and fools.
MSDNC is even worse. The bottom has completely come out.

(01:03):
Scarborough and Mika Brzhinski's ratings down forty percent, joyless, joy read,
fifty five percent, in some cases for other shows sixty
seventy percent. Nobody is watching them anymore. I mentioned the
La Times they fired the entire editorial board Washington Post.

(01:25):
Bezos has now come out and said we're firing a
lot of reporters. We're bleeding subscribers. We're hemorrhaging readers. No
one is there's no revenue coming in. Nobody believes us
anymore because we've been giving one false story after another.
Now this is coming from the liberal owner of The
Washington Post. It is so bad for MSNBC. Listen to

(01:51):
this that its parent company, Comcast, wants to spin it off.
They want to sell it. You know what's holding them back?
You got to hear this, all of you. Okay, It's
like when the Boston Herald was sold off. Okay, that
Rhino rag. Nobody wanted to buy it.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
It was so bad.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
They were like, well, you're offering us pennies on the dollar.
And they're like, well that's what it's worth. You want
it or you don't want it. Take the deal or
don't take the deal. And the Herald, as you know,
was sold for a song, I mean if for a pittance. Well,
the problem now Comcast has is they say nobody wants
to buy MSNBC, so we're gonna give it away for

(02:34):
practically nothing. Then we're gonna have to basically auction it
off and will anybody even bid on it? Okay, that's
the only thing that may save MSNBC. Is it's got
such No, it's got no value. It's got such little value,
nobody wants to buy it. Listen to this from Mark,
because I think he's really onto something. Jeff, how awesome

(02:58):
would it be if Elon Musk bought MSNBC and fired
everyone there and then.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Hired all new real.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Journalists and then, as Mark says it, and only the
way Mark can say it, what a huge f you
to the mainstream media everywhere. That would be uh, laugh
out loud. They never believed for a minute what they
were saying the whole time. It was all scripted. That's

(03:36):
what's now really come out. They never believed it. The
La Times editorial board admitted, Nah, we never thought the
guy was Hitler. MSNBC, Nah, it was never Hitler. CNN, Nah,
he was never Hitler. Joe Biden, Nah, he was never Hitler.

(03:58):
You were all lied to, deceived and manipulated, all of
you Democrats and liberals. They lie to you to play
on your emotions to scare you into voting against Trump.
You were played for suckers and fools, and so the

(04:19):
Cooner Country Pole Question of the Day, because I love it.
I love this suggestion by mark sponsored by Marios Marios
Quality Roofing, siding and Windows. Should Elon Musk buy MSNBC.
Comcast says they want to sell it, they want to

(04:40):
spin it off in the business lingo. They want to
get rid of it, unload it. Should Elon buy it?
Fire every single one of them, every lunatic leftist there is,
all those lefties out and replace them, not even with conservatives,
which just real object non partisan journalists, and make the

(05:05):
news the news again.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
A yes, B no.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Should Elon buy MSNBC. I would love it. I am
for it all the way. And here's my prediction. If
Elon did buy MSNBC, and of course he's got to
get rid of Rachel, Matt cow and Mika and Joe
and joylist Joy Reid and all of these anti American

(05:33):
radical leftists they're poison and put in truth journalists. Turn
MSNBC into the truth media. He will not only make
MSNBC the biggest, most successful cable news network in the country,
he will destroy Fox News. He will bury CNN and

(05:56):
he will bury Fox News. That's just my prediction. Take
it for what it's worth. If Elon does it the
right way, there's a massive opportunity now, But I want
to hear from you.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Should he buy it? Yes? A, yes, B no.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
You can vote on our web page WRKO dot com
slash cooner. Okay, the liberal media is collapsing in front
of our eyes. Oh how sweet it is.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Ratings have plummeted. In fact, they pretty much now hit
rock bottom. Newspapers are firing editorial boards, They're laying off
journalists left, right and center. Are we now watching the
beginning of the end of the so called mainstream media?
Kathy in New Jersey, Thanks for holding Kathy, and welcome.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
Good morning, Jeff.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Hi Kathy.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
As I was listening about this episode orchestrated by a
pr episode I should say, straighted by the gold standard
of the fake news media, it reminded me of a
poem that President Trump used to recite many many times
along the campaign trail at many different rallies. The poem

(07:17):
called the Snake. So I believe Trump knows exactly what
he's doing. He knows the evil that he allowed into
his home by inviting Mika and Joe, but he knows
what his next move is. And yeah, that's my that's

(07:37):
my take on this show.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
So Kathy, you don't think he's being fooled or bamboozled
or seduced by them in any way.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
Correct, absolutely not.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
He knows the next steps and the next moves he
has to take.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Kathy, I'm just curious. I mean, would you ever have
the face or I guess the lack of face. You know,
the hootspa as the Jews call it. You call someone
you know publicly on the air hundreds and hundreds of
times a racist, as comeback, a Nazi, a hitler. He's

(08:11):
going to get all women killed. He's going to put
everybody in death camps and in tournament camps.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
And then you just.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
Show up at that person's home and say, dono hold
president elect, come here my body, and you give him
a hug and you shake his hand and thank you
for having us over to your beautiful abode. Could you, possibly, seriously,
could you ever do that? Revile someone like that repeatedly

(08:39):
and then when they win, just do a complete one
eighty and act like you're there, you're their best friend.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Could you ever do that?

Speaker 3 (08:46):
Kaffy not in the way that they treated him. And
I think they are that stupid that they don't realize
that he realizes that.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Kathy, do you think because obviously for them, it's all
about self interest, So it's about power, it's about status,
and it's about their ratings, because that's all these people
care about. Now, do you think this is going to
help resurrect their show? Is this going to throw them
a lifeline? And people say, well, hey, hey, you know
Joe and Nika have Trump's ear. We better start watching

(09:23):
them because they're in the know now you know, they're
on the inside. Do you think this is going to
help boost their show or do you think, Jeff, they're dead.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
They don't even know.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
It, and they don't even know it.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
Interesting, Kathy, thank you very much for that Call's you know,
that's Grace's take as well. We're talking about that last
night and she said, Jeff, this is not going to
turn around their plummeting ratings. I mean, they think it will,
that's why they did it. But if anything, they look ridiculous.
They look so opportunistic, honestly, so sin coal, so immoral,

(10:02):
so shifty. You know, as the poem says, they look
like two snakes, because that's what two snakes would do. Agree, disagree?
Russ in Boston. Thanks for holding Russ and welcome.

Speaker 4 (10:19):
Good morning, Jeff, I have toury First. I wanted to
get to the question at hand. Is before the break
you said, should should mock buy ad scene? I say absolutely,
stop the bidding at one dollar, just to give them
some something to buy.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
That, right, So you're saying yes, now honestly all kidding aside, Russ,
would you make a serious bit if you were a Musk?
I mean, he's gonna have to throw some money on
the table. I don't know what it's going to be,
but you know, I mean, the Herald was sold for
a million. The MSNBC is clearly worth more than the Herald,
so you know, I don't know how much it's going

(10:59):
to be, but it's not going to be much in
terms of media terms. But he is going to have
to shell out whatever it is. You know, it could
be one hundred million or two hundred million or three
hundred million dollars, which, believe it or not to buy
a cable news outfit is actually very low. It's it's peanuts.
I mean, do you think musks should shell out that

(11:20):
kind of cash to buy it? Or really should it
be at an absolute bargain basement price?

Speaker 4 (11:29):
Interested he'll pay the market price whatever that is. He'll
overpay for it. But it doesn't matter. He's got zillions
of dollars. And look what positive impact he had on
buying Twitter. So I think those things are great, But
to the more important points, Yes, I disagree with you
on the Brazinski Twins. I think it was great that
Trump let the men. I think as you, I disagree

(11:52):
with you. I don't believe they've been lying for years.
I believe that they believe every word they've said and
they haven't changed their mind. But they said this, They said,
watch this, We're gonna go down there. They probably had
CNN with cameras out in the parking lot saying, this
guy's gonna turn us away and we're gonna be able
to tell you just like we've been saying, he's the
devil and he's the dictator. And the door opens and

(12:15):
they just went, oh no, now what are we gonna do?
And I think that's how it went down. Trump is
I think he's pretty sharp, as you'll last call he said,
So I think that's how it went down. And one
more thing, if I may, has anybody seen the photograph
of the Trump cruse sitting at the table on plane
eating the McDonald's.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
Oh that was priceless. Rust.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
I haven't stopped laughing since I saw it. That look
on Robert F. Kennedy's face. Right, you've got Elon enjoying
his McDonald's, Trump enjoying his McDonald's. You've got Don Junior
holding up McDonald's fries, and Trump pulled ourfk. I want
you to eat that big mac. You gotta eat that
big mac. And our FK is just holding that Mac

(13:00):
box and he has this look on his face. Is
this what I gotta do to be HHS Secretary.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Russ?

Speaker 1 (13:12):
I gotta tell you that was an absolute pr masterstroke.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
What did you think?

Speaker 4 (13:20):
Yes? One more thing though, Notice Mike Johnson standing behind
the table kind of in the dock and looking over
the buffet and I and I had two thoughts about him.
Number one, he's not chewing on this food, which means
they didn't give him any. And number two, he's got
his footstuck in the dock and this over there and

(13:43):
his probabiest fingers crossed behind his back. He gotta watch
that one. If there's any sakes at the table, it
was him.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
Oh, I'd watch him. I'd watch him like a hawk.
I completely agree with you, Russ. Russ, thank you very
much for that call. For those of you that didn't
see it. So they they all went to Madison Square
Gardens Saturday night and they watched UFC three oh nine.
By the way, the cooner man, I went to Patriot
Place and I saw it on the big screen, and

(14:12):
I was there to see the Stepe Mioshitch, who's a
Croatian American by the way, legendary heavyweight fighter go up
against John Jones pound for pound, the greatest MMA fighter ever,
by the way, John Jones one in a third round knockout.
But let that go. So and there was a really
nice undercard. Okay, anyway, long story short. Who's there at

(14:32):
Madison Square Garden to watch this incredible fight, this mega fight.
Well there's Dana White, who owns the UFC, and right
beside him Donald J.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
Trump.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
And who's beside Trump, Elon Musk. And who's behind these
two men one after another? Robert F. Kennedy Junior, tol C. Gabbard,
Don Junior, Eric Trump, I mean, Mike Johnson. They're all there,
all there, and you know, and all the fighters were

(15:03):
kidding around with Trump and pointing their finger at him
and bantering with him. It was a Trump love fest. Anyway,
after that fight, it ended at about one thirty. The
whole cart ended at one thirty. So they all get
back on Trump's private jet and they're flying back. Well,
you know, it's the middle of the night. People are hungry.
Last time they ate was like six o'clock, and you know,

(15:25):
they've been a Madison Square garden watching the fights, cheering
and yelling and screaming and you know about bantering and
having a good time. So there they are all on
Trump's plane and Trump is sitting at a booth. It's hilarious.
And so he's right there, he's on the far end.
You've got Elon right beside him, and then across is

(15:47):
you know, Don Junior, and there's RFK. It's the four
of them sitting at a booth. And then there's Mike Johnson, Meager. Mike,
he's not sitting with them, but he just kind of
like intrudes his head. You just see his head as
they're taking a group photo, and it's almost like he
wants to be like part of the team, like desperately

(16:10):
trying to be part of the inner circle. And there's
meager Mike sticking his head in and they're all leading McDonald's.
But I swear the funny part is you've got RFK
just holding that box with a big Mac in it,
and the other three are just laughing because you can
see Rfk's face like this is poison. I don't want

(16:30):
to eat this. I've never eaten this, I never will
eat this. So anyway, but I guess they said, come on, Bobby,
come on, just hold it up for the camera.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
Hold it up.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
So anyway, people are wondering, did he actually eat the
big mac? Six one seven two six six sixty eight
sixty eight is the number. Michelle in Arlington. Thanks for
holding Michelle, and welcome.

Speaker 4 (17:00):
Hands the nurse Michelle a long time.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
I'm good. How are you, Michelle?

Speaker 4 (17:05):
Good? Thank you to Thanks. No, I don't think we
should go.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
On, Michelle. You've got a very bad connection. We're going
to try to get back to you, okay, Michelle, and
let's see if we can re establish connection. Let's go
try again, Mike. Okay, Michelle in Arlington. Can you hear
us now?

Speaker 5 (17:26):
Yes, sir, the first time. How's it going?

Speaker 2 (17:29):
Very good? Michelle? You're coming in loud and clear go ahead.

Speaker 5 (17:33):
So no, I don't think you should go on any
main liberal media. It's apparent now that the mainstream libert
the mainstream media is completely imploding and it's about time.

Speaker 6 (17:47):
So that's good.

Speaker 5 (17:48):
And I know people are hopeful that he knows what
he's doing, but I just I think it's a waste
of time and I don't think he's going to reach
anybody like it. As you can see when you went
on Joe Rogan, that reached a lot of people that
really helped him move the ball forward. So alternative media,
that's the way to go. Second thing, on the immigration,
I just want to let you know, I'm not sure
if you viewers know in the happy town of Somerville,

(18:10):
the mayor there not only reaffirmed the sanctuary city, but
she's wait for it, going to create a no go
zone for the immigrants and keep them protected. I think
we should do a show from there.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
Well, Michelle, I would love to do a show from Somerville.
It's actually pretty close to where I do my show
from anyway, but I'd love to do one of these
shows there. Look, what the mayor is doing is beyond
criminal and it's beyond reckless. And irresponsible because if you're
saying that's a no go zone, which is what she sang,

(18:44):
then that's just going to now be a magnet for criminals, murderers, rapists, gangs,
drug dealers to pour into Somerville because they're going to think, well,
not only is Massachusetts going to protect me from these deportations,
I'm gonna have double protection because the mayor is saying
that she's gonna protect me as well. Now look, this

(19:08):
is what I think Homan needs to do, and he
is going to do this. Cut off all federal funding
everything to Somerville or to Chelsea, or to any of
these other sanctuary cities, and to cut off funding to
sanctuary states like Massachusetts, and by the way, to Chicago.
They want to be a sanctuary city, no problem. Cut

(19:31):
off all federal funding the Chicago, New York City, same thing,
New York State, Illinois, Los Angeles, California, same thing. You know,
I have family in Arizona. I love Arizona. Please don't
get me wrong, But if the governor of Arizona, Katie Hobbs,
follows through on her threat that she made yesterday that

(19:52):
they're going to wage quote unquote all out resistance to
Trump's deportation of these criminal illegal aliens. Cut off all
federal funds to Arizona and let's see how they like it.
And then the people are going to say, what are
you doing? No money for hospitals, no money for police,
no money for first responders, no money for schools, no

(20:15):
money for roads. And again, Michelle, I want you to
think about this. To protect what MS thirteen literally, to
protect murderers, drug traffickers, human traffickers, child molesters, murderers. These
are the people you want to protect, and you're willing

(20:38):
to risk federal funds. And if they continue, then I'm sorry.
They got to be arrested, every single one of them.
Slap the handcuffs, you disobey the law. You know, the
Dems kept saying this against Trump over and over again.
Now we should take that phrase and throw it against them,
use it against them. No one is above the law.

(21:02):
Illegals are not above the law. I got this is
a newsflash for liberals. Mara Healy, Gavin Newsome, Katie Hobbs,
Kathy hokel JB.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
Pritzker. They're not above the law.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
Mayor Michelle wou of Boston, Eric Adams of New York,
Johnson of Chicago. I could go on all these big city,
blue city mayors. You're not above the law. So you
want to be in violation of federal immigration law, you
want to be in violation of the people in the
voters of the United States, No problem, We'll put your

(21:39):
ass behind bars.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
That's okay.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
Now, the mere threat of cutting off federal funds and
they're going to back down. But if they won't back
down the threat of going to jail, they're all.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
Going to back down.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
So Michelle, my advice to Trump and Holman take the
gloves off, show no quarter. They've got a mandate, they've
got a short window to do what they want to
do and what they were elected to do.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
Go ahead and do it. Final word to you, Michelle.

Speaker 5 (22:12):
Interesting, Jeff, is that the good governor lives in Arlington,
and that's right next to Somerval. So I don't know
if anybody's been through David Square in Somerval. It's become
a nice sanctuary, little hangout for people, and it's really
degrading the whole towns. There's been an uptick in crimes
and assaults and batteries. But you don't see that in

(22:33):
Lington Center, that's where the good governor lives, and that's
not happening there, even though she voted again or Islington
voted to be a sanctuary town as well. The other
thing that we should do, Jeff's play the testimony. So
I don't know if anybody's heard the Lake and Riley
trial going on. It's absolutely heart wrenching. Play that testimony.
Start showing that in the no go zone. See how

(22:53):
people feel about that. Well, end up with what's right.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
Well, Smachelle, you're right, it's rivet and heartbreaking testimony. How
they let this guy in, how he had a rap
sheet as long as my arm, back from the country
that he was from, how they knew, they got warning
after warning, how he was arrested even in New York.
And by the way, they paid for everything for him,

(23:19):
The Biden Harris regime paid him, gave him checks, they
paid for his housing, they paid for his travel, they
paid for everything. And how he waited, stalked, and what
he did to Lake and Riley is it's unspeakable and
you're not gonna The sad thing is, Michelle, is that
you're going to start to see Lake and Riley's pop

(23:41):
up in Somerville. That's inevitably what's going to happen. It's
going to be more Lake and Riley's and more other
victims of illegal immigrants and of MS thirteen. So if
this is the way they want to go, fine, that's okay.
It's time to start. Put these governors and mayors behind bars,

(24:04):
cut all their federal funding and if that won't do it,
maybe six months or a year in jail and maybe
that'll sober them up. Michelle, thank you very very much
for that call. Six one seven two six six sixty
eight sixty eight. Okay, you want to know why the
liberal media is completely tanking, why they are in I'm talking,

(24:26):
their ratings are cratering across the board, every outlet, whether
it's print, radio, TV, it doesn't matter. Listen out of this.
This is Sonny Haustin on the View. And this is
now two weeks later, and we've had poll after poll,

(24:47):
analysis after analysis where people who voted for Trump were
interviewed again and again and again, and they were asked,
why did you vote for Donald Trump? And the number
on one issue was the economy. And when they drilled
down and said, well, what in particular the soaring inflation,

(25:07):
the high food and grocery prices, the soaring price of
gas at the pump, my utility bills, my energy bills,
the cost of living. We just could not survive under Biden. Okay,
that was the number one reason, the number two reason.
But we're talking about now this huge influx of illegals,

(25:28):
fifteen to twenty million, unchecked, unvetted pouring into our country
and the crime that came with it, the disease, the drugs,
the fentanyl, all of it. And that was issue one,
and that was issue too. Now this is indisputable, and

(25:48):
instead of saying, hmm, you know, maybe we should change
our policies, maybe Biden Harris got it completely wrong. Maybe
they shouldn't have opened up the border. Maybe they shouldn't
have been spending trillions of dollars. Maybe they should have
really unleashed energy independence and drilling oil and natural gas

(26:12):
like Trump did instead of, for example, killing the Keystone
XL pipeline on day one. Hmmm, maybe we were Maybe
they were the architects of their own doom and demise.
No no, no, no, keep preaching that old time religion.
Maybe listen now to sunny Austin Roll cut for Mike.

Speaker 6 (26:36):
You know, I know that as a country, it's very
difficult for people to believe that racism and misogyny they're
just alive. And well, I think that we don't want
to think that about ourselves, our neighbors, our friends. But
it's my lived experience tells me that it does still exist,

(26:57):
even if your lived experience doesn't tell you that it exists.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
And you know, the facts support that.

Speaker 6 (27:03):
I think we have a graph if you look at that,
there's a clear racial divide and who voted for the
Trump as opposed to who voted for Kamala Harris.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
It's very clear.

Speaker 6 (27:18):
It's not only clear by race, but it's also clear
by education. And so the notion somehow that that is
not true. This is by education. Those who attended college
voted for her at a higher degree than those that didn't.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
Now notice the elitism, the snobbery, the arrogance that no, no, hey,
if you're a you know, working class blue collar person
who must be a racist racist, why why because you
didn't go to college. Have you looked at college campuses.

(27:57):
It is a cesspool of discusting racists and anti semites.
All they do is obsessed about race, critical race theory,
DEI supporting Hamas hating Jews, hating whites. What is this
woman talking about? That's number one? Number two again, it's

(28:19):
always race and sexism, racism and misogyny. When they lose,
you spit and the faces of the voters. Now this
coming from a woman, And I'm sorry, but i have
to go there. She opened the door. I'm going to
go through that door. I've had that lived experience. In
other words, I've been a victim of racism. Really, you

(28:41):
mean someone as stupid as you? And she really is dumb,
Sunny Austin is really dumb. And what do you make
five six, seven, maybe ten million dollars a year as
part of what four or five women co hosting a show?
You what does she talk for five minutes a show
to say the most asinine, moronic things possible? And you're

(29:04):
making multimillion dollars a year driven around in a limousine,
living a privileged, pampered life that most people could barely imagine.
And yet you're claiming you're somehow a victim of racism
and sexism. If you lived in a truly racist, sexist country,
he wouldn't be where you are today. Like, this is

(29:30):
how spoiled and out of touch these people are, and frankly,
how insulting they are. And they wonder why nobody watches
that show. That's another show. By the way, how that
thing is still on the air is beyond me. You
want to talk about tanking, ratings, ratings into toilet, that's

(29:50):
the view. But that's everything. That's ABC's George Stephanopolis this
week with Stephie. That thing has no ratings. That's NBC's
Meet Them with Kristen Welker, that shows in the toilet.
In other words, across the board CBS, they're entired, they're
new shows suck who nobody watches them anymore. So it's

(30:14):
failed ratings after failed ratings after failed ratings, because nobody
