| 0:00.0 | On TV Concierge, the Ringer staff delivers a guide to the vast streaming landscape by discussing one |
| 0:05.2 | show or movie per day, including premieres, the latest surprise Netflix hits, periodic check-ins on |
| 0:10.4 | favorite TV shows, new movies available for streaming, and the hosts favorite shows to watch right away. |

| 0:45.6 | David CNN Pundit Rick Santorum is in trouble for a marks he made in a speech |
| 0:56.0 | to the Young America's Foundation. What I want to know is who could CNN bring in |
| 1:02.8 | to replace Rick Santorum? Oh man. This seems easy right because Rick Santorum is |
| 1:11.2 | totally a replacement level cable news pundit. But yes, but the fact that Rick Santorum was the |
| 1:22.6 | best that they could do might suggest that the criteria is a little bit trickier than we give |
| 1:31.2 | it credit for. I'm not saying it should be. I think you would like to pick a better person, |
| 1:36.0 | but it's not the simplest thing in the world. No, CNN's been trying to replace Jeffrey Lord |

| 1:52.5 | then they could still be trying to replace him. Yeah. It's all the turns out. I don't think |
| 1:59.6 | people are saying no to it. Right? I mean, if you went to anybody, any conservative talking head |
| 2:06.0 | who does Fox News hits, are they going to say no to CNN at a principle? No, absolutely not. |
| 2:11.9 | CNN would say no to them. The problem is they don't want to bring in people from the Trump |
| 2:17.5 | White House. Right. So you have to find a Santorum-esque third party who's sympathetic to elements of |
| 2:25.6 | Trumpism, but isn't actually a Trumpite. And that turns out to be a really hard thing to |
| 2:33.5 | locate. It's true. It's true. Maybe they should just bring in an actor playing. This is Oscar's |
| 2:39.3 | week. Anyway, they should bring in an actor playing a Trump supporter. Of course, that person would |
| 2:45.7 | end up getting like $10 million to host a Fox News prime time show. We would try to be searching |
| 2:51.0 | for the way we try to remember whether or not this was supposed to be ironic from the start. Anyway. |
