at ExpressVPN.com slash Ben. All his life. Adam Schiff has just wanted to be the center of attention. That's all he's wanted. And he was always the geeky guy in school. I mean, I know. I feel it. And he always wanted to be the guy in the spotlight. He would sit there at the talent shows and think to himself, but I'm so much smarter than those stults up there playing guitar. And now, finally, Adam Schiff has got his moment to shine. And that's really what a lot of this is about, isn't it? Adam Schiff, who never could stay away from a television camera, not for three years when he was claiming he had secret information that President Trump was in cahoots with the Russians. Well, now Adam Schiff is the House impeachment manager after shepherding through an impeachment process based on insufficient evidence, evidence so insufficient that now the Democrats are forced to try and pressure Republicans in the Senate to subpoena new documents and call new witnesses. Well, now Adam Schiff is out there. And for hours on end, he is talking. Hours and hours and hours. Now, unsurprisingly, unsurprisingly, the ratings suck.

And the ratings for this impeachment, they're not good. And you can tell the American public

are extremely bored with it because the ratings are not very good. Day one, over the course

of the entire day, apparently, there are 11 million viewers. Over the course of an entire day

for an actual live impeachment. And just to put that by way of contrast, like one nightly

primetime show on the networks will get like 10 million, 11 million viewers. It's not even an

unbelievable rating. It's a fairly good rating for one prime time show in like half an hour.

Okay, to say that over the course of the entire day in terms of impeachment, you got like 11 million

viewers means that not very

many people are watching. And as Joe Concha from the Hill is reporting, the prime time numbers

from the night one impeachment coverage are really not very good. Total average viewers from 8 to 11,

total average viewers. Fox News 3.5 million, MSNBC 2.5 million, CNN 1.5 million. In other words,

basically, everybody who is already watching continued to watch and nobody else showed up.

Because guess what? Those are very similar to the numbers that you get on kind of a normal

might from these various networks. They're not up a significant percentage because the American

people just don't care very much. And I don't blame them because nothing new is happening. This is all old news. And the other part of it is that the Democrats obviously do not have the goods. If they did have the goods, then they wouldn't have to be pounding the table the way that they are. Senator Ted Cruz really summed it up yesterday. He said, listen, they don't have the facts. They don't have the law, and so they're just going to pound that table.

There's an old saying that if you have the facts, you bang the facts. If you have the law, you bang the law. If you don't have either, you bang the table. Well, this afternoon, we've seen a whole lot of table banging. and at the end of the day we're in the same spot we were in when we began the day,
