| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the show. |
| 0:09.0 | A reporter told the truth about Donald Trump and he has now lost his job. |
| 0:16.0 | This is what the media environment looks like under Donald Trump. We're talking about Terry Moran, who has now |
| 0:23.1 | been fired by ABC News. He's been there nearly 30 years. Why was he fired? Because on his |

| 1:37.4 | ABC News chose to fire Terry Moran. |
| 1:41.6 | Now, let's look at the tweet in question just to remind ourselves what Terry |
| 1:45.7 | Moran posted on June 8th was, quote, the thing about Stephen Miller is not that he's the brains |
