| 0:00.0 | Welcome, everybody. |
| 0:08.3 | Hope you had a good weekend. |
| 0:09.8 | We have a real paradigm shift happening in political media right now. |
| 0:13.9 | Stunning new ratings numbers show that MSNBC and CNN are collapsing. |
| 0:19.5 | There's really no other word. |
| 0:20.5 | It is a total and absolute freefall. Since the election, |
| 0:24.4 | MSNBC's prime time audience has been cut in half, down 53%. CNN almost as bad, 47% drop. These |

| 1:25.1 | And for many people, the reaction has been, I'm just going to stop following politics |
| 1:28.8 | altogether at least for now. |
| 1:32.2 | It's not that they're suddenly happy with the direction of the country and they go, I don't |
| 1:36.9 | need to pay attention. |
| 1:37.8 | Things are going so well. |
