baldwin talk show? i d watch that. i think he s an interesting personality. the cable networks do not have hosts who are from a news background necessarily. why not alec baldwin? he s a guy who mixes it up. it could be exciting and energetic. i think it could be good. i ve interviewed him. he s very interested in politics. how he would be on a regular show, you have to book people, being a host, how the rest of the lineup feels about, this i d be interested to know how other hosts feel about him. he would get a lot of tune-in in the beginning. he s got a great podcast. if it s anything like the podcast online, it could be great, jane, paul, thanks for joining us. next, a turn to maybe the heaviest news of the week. terror threats, embassy closings an drone strikes. there was no shortage of news from yemen this week, but where was the press? hd

of a sudden i heard snoring on the air. for a split moment, i thought it was part of the entertainment. i thought that steve: he was out. he was out like sleeping. and then i looked over and i realized that his head was on the table, his arms started to shake and i knew that there was an issue. i don t know if it was my news background, but instinctively i jumped up and hit my mute switch cause i didn t want people at home to see what was happening. i started screaming for our doctor. dr. samson who was at ring side, he s there for all of the events. one of our production people at ring side, and they were immediately with jerry, brought him to the floor, security jumped over the barricades. about a half dozen men carry him to the side of the arena. put him on a stretcher and they got him to the back and thank god for dr. samson and the montreal emt s. steve: he wasn t just comments tating. he was actually wrestling. yeah. he had had a match probably 20 minutes before that.
