| 0:00.0 | Hey, it's Mark Simone. This is the bonus segment of the podcast for all you podcast listeners. |
| 0:06.2 | We give you a little extra bonus segment. So, hey, don't forget this coming week, the end of |
| 0:11.1 | Stephen Colbert. He'll be gone. Thursday night's the final show. That'll be the end of him. |
| 0:18.7 | I was going to say we won't have to see him again, but I don't know where |
| 0:22.5 | he'll turn up. You notice, first of all, everybody will tell you, the left-wing media will report. |
| 0:28.5 | He's being thrown off the air because of pressure from the Trump administration. He's being |
| 0:32.7 | thrown off the year because he loses 40 or 50 million a year. In fact, you want to talk about partisan stuff. |
| 0:39.1 | The fact that they kept him on losing 40 or 50 million a year is a little partisan. |
| 0:43.3 | So he'll be gone. |
| 0:46.0 | You'll notice it was announced a long time ago that he was being fired. |

What's that show? He does? He interviews people for a half hour. Although, Letterman, despite all of his nonsense, still has a certain charm. He's a comedian. Colbert, you wouldn't really call a comedian. |
| 1:29.9 | He's more of an angry, nasty, nasty guy. |
| 1:33.2 | So I don't know. |
| 1:34.7 | So Seattle now has a crazy Mamdani-type mayor running Seattle, liberal, woke, hates billionaires, hates business. You know, if you're running a |
| 1:46.1 | city, you got to have a downtown, even a small town. If you're running a city, you've got to have |
| 1:52.5 | businesses. If you opened any kind of a city and nobody opened any businesses, what would you |
| 1:57.8 | do? Where would you get jobs from? Where would you get jobs from? |
| 2:02.5 | Where would you get services from? |
| 2:03.6 | Where would people be able to buy? |
| 2:08.8 | So the businesses are your best customers. |
