and give it some chili pepper. advertising is based on one thing, happiness. is there any taboo that you wouldn t break? not if there was a funny idea. what is wrong with you? there s so much different storytelling, and so many different stories being told about so many different people. i don t think dramatic series television has ever been stronger. there s no longer this theory of what popular entertainment must be. incoming! who are the heroes? the people who watch this show. this is the week when the major broadcast networks unveil their full lineup of shows. and every executive in hollywood knows how well the sopranos is doing on cable, which is a network problem. i think hbo altered everything for this reason alone, is there were no commercials. we are dependent on sponsors. right. there is so much we can do in terms of language, in terms of violence, and in terms of sex. to a large degree, a lot of executives were just sanding off the edg
in news, it splinted largely along political lines. you re watching fox news, real journalism. roger wheels had the brilliant idea of creating a network for conserves, fox news. the controversy over john kerry and vietnam war medal it s gotten worse. ms nbc kind of stumble i do not the idea of a liberal county part. people watch fox news think thinking there s news, the conspirator theorists and pin heads. there was no longer a shared factual basis for political views, we didn t all go home and watch walter cronkite. on fire. on the left, james car vel and paul. on the right, robert novack and tucker carlson. in the cross fire. i remember when john stewart went on cross fire, it was 2024 john kerry was the democratic presidential nominee facing george w bush and i thought
leading republican kari lake by two points with 68% of precincts reporting. we have democratic stat jazz and cohost of the war room politics james car vel former aid to the george w. bush e lease jordan and simone sanders. joe we hear applause but a lot of the applause is not democrat versus republican. it s voter versus election denier. or voters saying no to trump and no to insurrections and no to crazy. yes, we need our rights back. you know the thing is, again, we ve talked about how important it is to have political athletes to have good candidates. candidate quality counts. donald trump really undermined the republican party but having the issues on your side. we talk when the issues come up
giving the speech. up until james car vel consultants were never seen or heard from. they ran ted cruz s campaign, put him in the final home run, the homestretch, but he never went out publicly. bannon was a guy who grabbed the microphone who did want the spotlight. i don t think that s in the best interest of any politician. i ve used consultants and they re always best in the background. most politicians don t like competition in the spotlight. you miss the point a little bit when you think about this is a thinly veiled attempt on behalf of donald trump and perhaps his administration and campaign to use that ten-foot pole to distance themselves from people who are making statements that would be in support of why the mueller investigation exists. so if you have somebody who has largely been the champion and heralding all throughout that this is fake news there are is not an actual this is a witch hunt or variety of phrases he s used now he s saying well the magnifying glass was
away with a paddy wagon with candy on the side. he was daring for people in alabama not to vote for him and the people took him had up on the dare. i would agree with this. you think about james car vel he started wearing blue jeans everywhere he went and suddenly every consultant for the next 10 years wore blue jeans. so they like that outsider kind of hip look. but i think the substance of the matter is he picked the wrong candidate. he should have done proper opposition research and saw this guy was sitting on an explosion and that s what happened. there was another gop congressional source saying his credibility is shot. do you think that s true or too broad? i think it took a hit. anytime you lose that will take a hit but as we know many political consultants lose many times and aren t out of the game. i think there will be an audience for bannonism and its
