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

1:28.8	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.
