Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: So what's going on here? Will Elon Musk buy MSNBC?
- 0:08Speaker 1: Donald Trump Junior floats funniest idea right off the bet,
- 0:12Speaker 1: I'm just gonna show. However, Comcast has said that neither
- 0:15Speaker 1: MSNBC nor CNBC is for sale. The reorganization reflects a
- 0:20Speaker 1: broader strategy to separate its traditional cable properties from its
- 0:24Speaker 1: streaming and broadcast operations. So they're talking about spinning it
- 0:28Speaker 1: off into another company. They're saying that they're not for sale.
- 0:33Speaker 1: But when you're spinning something off away from away from
- 0:37Speaker 1: the main company, away from Comcast, that can't be a
- 0:40Speaker 1: good sign, though, can it. That can't be a good sign.
- 0:44Speaker 1: You kind of get the feeling like, yeah, I mean
- 0:46Speaker 1: it might be up for sale. Somebody's got enough scratch.
- 0:50Speaker 1: It might just be up for sale. So they're saying not,
- 0:54Speaker 1: But maybe Comcast is putting MSNBC up for sale. See
- 0:59Speaker 1: it in just an massive layoffs coming. Maybe the new
- 1:02Speaker 1: owners will figure out that lying NonStop to your audience
- 1:07Speaker 1: is a lousy business model. And Donald Trump Junior said, Hey,
- 1:11Speaker 1: Elon Musk, I have the funniest idea ever. And Elon
- 1:14Speaker 1: Musk said, how much does it cost? How much does
- 1:18Speaker 1: it cost. That's a question, right, how much would it
- 1:21Speaker 1: actually cost for MSNBC. Comcast is officially saying that they're
- 1:26Speaker 1: not actually putting it up for a sale, they're spinning
- 1:28Speaker 1: it off. But again, these kind of feel like preliminary
- 1:31Speaker 1: things before a sale. So I mean, it's certainly not
- 1:36Speaker 1: a good thing, right, So let's take a look at this.
- 1:40Speaker 1: What is the value of a CNN network? So CNN,
- 1:45Speaker 1: So I couldn't find any kind of estimates of what MSNBC,
- 1:49Speaker 1: what its actual value would be in the time before
- 1:53Speaker 1: you know, I started the stream, but CNN, And here's
- 1:57Speaker 1: from the Los Angeles Times. Yeah, they've got its value
- 2:01Speaker 1: around CNN's value about four point three billion, So pretext
- 2:05Speaker 1: value is in the six billion to seven billion range.
- 2:09Speaker 2: Now, I think that CNN would.
- 2:10Speaker 1: Actually be more valuable than MSNBC because it's more global
- 2:16Speaker 1: and it's in like every airport in the world. Right,
- 2:19Speaker 1: I think MSNBC would be worth less than that. So
- 2:23Speaker 1: say say four point three billion, or say say say
- 2:25Speaker 1: six billion for MSNBC. Elon paid forty four billion for
- 2:31Speaker 1: X So I mean, I'm not saying that's like pocket
- 2:33Speaker 1: change for Elon, but you have to think that it's doable, right,
- 2:38Speaker 1: you have to think that it's doable. I mean maybe
- 2:40Speaker 1: it's worth a lot less than that. There'd be all
- 2:42Speaker 1: kinds of behind the scenes power moves to try and
- 2:47Speaker 1: avoid selling it to Elon Musk, obviously, but again, I'm
- 2:52Speaker 1: not saying it's going to happen. I think the whole
- 2:53Speaker 1: thing started off as a joke. But it's Elon, right,
- 2:57Speaker 1: it's Elon. Would you be shot if he ended up
- 3:00Speaker 1: getting it? I mean, nobody thought he was actually gonna
- 3:03Speaker 1: get Twitter, so I know, I think it's very interesting.
- 3:08Speaker 1: Let's see what else we've got in here. Joe Rogan
- 3:10Speaker 1: says he would like to have Rachel Maddow's job if
- 3:13Speaker 1: Elon Musk buys MSNBC. Rogan says he will wear the
- 3:17Speaker 1: same outfit, glasses, and we'll tell the same lies.
- 3:21Speaker 2: Let's see, how about this.
- 3:23Speaker 1: If Elon Musk and Donald Trump Junior by MSNBC, should
- 3:26Speaker 1: the hire Tucker Carlson as.
- 3:28Speaker 2: The prime time host? I wonder if.
- 3:32Speaker 1: You'd even want the job now, to be honest, after
- 3:35Speaker 1: going solo, I think he probably enjoys that more, but
- 3:38Speaker 1: who knows. Let's see, of course, if we want some
- 3:41Speaker 1: irony two years since MSNBC predicted that Elon's Twitter was
- 3:47Speaker 1: on the brink of collapse. Of course they did, because
- 3:50Speaker 1: all they do is lie. All they do is speak
- 3:53Speaker 1: the opposite of reality.
- 3:56Speaker 3: Elon Musk was supposed to be a vanguard of personal freedom,
- 3:59Speaker 3: a genius brilliance with rocket ships and electric cars would
- 4:03Speaker 3: bring Twitter to space age greatness. Instead, the microblogging platform
- 4:07Speaker 3: that once enabled regular people to speak truth to power,
- 4:10Speaker 3: the very powerful networking and organizing tool that helped to
- 4:14Speaker 3: herald in the Arab Spring and the summer of racial
- 4:17Speaker 3: justice protests, that social media network that made the world
- 4:21Speaker 3: a little smaller, is now on the brink of collapse technologically, economically,
- 4:27Speaker 3: and culturally.
- 4:29Speaker 1: Elon so completely the opposite of reality on every one
- 4:32Speaker 1: of those points, completely wrong. Are we sure that MSNBC
- 4:39Speaker 1: isn't worth like fifty cents, because really that's what it
- 4:42Speaker 1: should be worth. I assume it's losing money. I mean,
- 4:44Speaker 1: maybe carry your fees, it's earning a profit. I don't know,
- 4:49Speaker 1: maybe there's a bunch of like I don't know, like
- 4:51Speaker 1: deep state money being funneled into it to keep it going.
- 4:54Speaker 1: Because it's I think fairly well accepted at this point
- 4:57Speaker 1: that it's basically works in collaboration with intelligence agencies in
- 5:02Speaker 1: terms of the narrative control. So another example of great
- 5:08Speaker 1: work from MSNBC from Colin rugg here.
- 5:11Speaker 2: MSNBC host Joe Scarborough has.
- 5:13Speaker 1: Deleted his bloodbath tweet after getting called out by Elon Musk.
- 5:18Speaker 1: This was March seventeenth. So let's see Joe Scarborough Donald
- 5:22Speaker 1: Trump's America and he is proud of it, promised another
- 5:26Speaker 1: bloodbath if he loses again. I'm sure that everybody watching
- 5:29Speaker 1: this saw the actual clip of Trump talking about how
- 5:33Speaker 1: in fact you talking about the auto industry and how
- 5:36Speaker 1: it would be a bloodbath for the auto industry if
- 5:39Speaker 1: he doesn't get elected.
- 5:40Speaker 2: I'm sure all of us. Did.
- 5:41Speaker 1: Anybody anybody who took the time to watch the ten
- 5:46Speaker 1: seconds of the clip, who took a minute to find
- 5:49Speaker 1: the clip and then the ten seconds to watch it,
- 5:52Speaker 1: or the fifteen seconds, whatever it was. Apparently, apparently it
- 5:56Speaker 1: was a better journalist than somebody who spent half a
- 5:59Speaker 1: million dollars at Columbia School of Journalism, certainly better than
- 6:03Speaker 1: Joe Scarborough. Elon said this January sixth was not a
- 6:08Speaker 1: bloodbath by any definition, and Trump was referring to job
- 6:12Speaker 1: losses in the auto industry. When you use that word,
- 6:15Speaker 1: your post is extremely misleading. That's a nice way of
- 6:18Speaker 1: saying you're lying. Either lying or stupid or totally ignorant.
- 6:23Speaker 1: Either way, it's astonishing that that Joe Scarborough is.
- 6:29Speaker 2: What you know.
- 6:30Speaker 1: The once respected newspeople of the Western world have turned
- 6:34Speaker 1: into shocking really, but a lot of people are talking
- 6:37Speaker 1: about it would be hilarious to get Alex Jones, or
- 6:41Speaker 1: to buy at MSNBC and give it to Alex Jones,
- 6:43Speaker 1: or to get him on That would be damn funny.
- 6:47Speaker 1: But anyway, will Elon Musk buy MSNBC? I think it's
- 6:52Speaker 1: pretty unlikely, although not completely out of the realm of possibility.
- 6:56Speaker 1: There is some small chance something like that could happen
- 6:59Speaker 1: because it's Elon and if he did, that would officially
- 7:03Speaker 1: be the best thing that had ever happened in cable
- 7:06Speaker 1: news history and the most hilarious. Anyway, That's all I'm
- 7:11Speaker 1: going to say about that. Please like, share, and subscribe.
- 7:14Speaker 1: Subscribing really helps me out. I thank you for that.
- 7:17Speaker 1: I will see you next time.
