0:00.0	The left's institutional control is falling apart. They thought they had the government and then President
0:04.9	Trump won and the Republicans won. And they thought they had the media as well, more than anything,
0:09.4	they thought they had the media. But last night, that magical world is all before their very eyes
0:14.6	as CBS News fired longtime 60 Minutes anchor Scott Pelly, making clear that no longer would that show
0:20.3	be an adjapop outlet for the left.
0:22.6	But without institutional control, what happens to the left? What do they do next? The answer?
0:26.9	They move even further to the left. We'll get into all of that. Plus, Megan Kelly on Sean Ryan,
0:31.8	and Marco Rubio destroys, and a lot more. This is The Ben Shapiro Show.
0:43.3	Music and a lot more. This is The Ben Shapiro Show. Well, folks, it looks like another ex-legacy journalist is joining Substack.

1:22.4	That's the reason why the left is angry the changes are being made today.
1:25.3	If it were objective and Barry Weiss made changes, they would not be so upset. They saw this as their institutional preserve. And now that preserve has been violated. Like a naturally beautiful piece of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is being touched by human hands. It must not be. Also, they've been promoting this notion that Barry Weiss is some sort of flaming
1:44.3	right-winger. That's crazy. I'm sorry, that's nuts. I'm friends with Barry. Barry is not right-wing
1:49.5	on a huge number of issues. She is pro-LGB, obviously. She is pro-choice, obviously. She used to
1:56.0	describe herself as a center-left person. If you went back about 25 years, should be a moderate Democrat.
