CBS Suddenly RETREATS After Stephen Colbert Attack Backfires Spectacularly

0:00 Steven Colbear has now said goodbye to the late uh show uh you know the show if not the format. We'll see where he ends up going. But um but is he worried going forward about Trump's seemingly endless petty need for revenge against him for the crime of telling jokes? Take a look. >> I don't have any fear of the administration doing anything to me. I mean how silly would it be? How silly would it be? I mean, listen, my present situation aside, like the ending of the show aside, which people can speculate all they want, and I can't argue with their speculations, you know, but we're clowns. How much does it diminish the office of

0:46 the presidency to even notice what we say? You know, that guy needs to know how to pick his battles. I mean, metaphorically and literally. >> Yeah, I I I agree with all of those points. It does and has diminished the presidency that he is so clearly destroyed nightly by what Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyer, Steven Cobear, the cast of SNL say about him. He has neither the strength or the the ego, the self assuredness to weather the criticisms or even like the the mental wellness to just not consume it in the first place. He can do neither of those things. Uh and he does need to learn to pick his battles. He won't he's never going to

1:32 learn another thing in what remains of his life. But but I wish both in these sorts of battles and I don't know the wars that he starts. In both cases, I think he could do much better. The only thing I could potentially disagree with Stephen Gobar there is like should he be worried? Like if Steven goaran does goes off and does something else, why would we believe that Donald Trump wouldn't follow him there and try to harass him? Like if he just posts on YouTube, if he posts on Twitter, Donald Trump seeks out the things that trigger and destroy him. He always has. It's a terrible flaw and one that he seems incapable of getting past. And by the way, he's not the only one in this particular case. CBS did what they had to do. We can speculate about they gave in to the Trump administration. They canned Steven Coar. That's what they did. But now they seem

2:19 to be following him, too. So, Matthew Keys tweeted, "Just one day after ending the Late Show on CBS, Steven Colbear returned to TV to host a public access show with Jack White in Monroe, Michigan. Jeff Daniels came on. Eminem, Steve Bushi. a public access TV show and it got copyright struck by CBS. Now, importantly, no CBS intellectual property is in this show. Steven Colbear is in the show, but last I checked, CBS doesn't own Steven Colbear's face or his tie or whatever. He's just sitting on a public access couch talking to people. And yet, they tried to shut it down. Now, like if if I'm trying to be overly

3:05 reasonable, I think it got automatically flagged in some way, but again, none of their music was used, none of the footage was used. It couldn't have been flagged automatically. Somebody chose to flag it. Now, after criticism, they did back off, but it's a strange move to make in the first place, and hardly their only one. Interestingly, the day after the final late show, which by the way got massive ratings and all that, CBS Mornings did not mention it one time and Puck News said they were told that the ghosting was a specific directive from the president of CBS News. So, there's clearly some hurt fee fees on CBS's side. Donald Trump has a terminal case of hurt fee fees. So, look, I think

3:52 Steven Cobar is going to go off and do whatever he wants to do. He seems fairly fearless, Gabe Edwards. But I am a little bit worried about him going forward. What do you think? >> Uh I I don't know. I don't know if I'm worried for Steven Cobear. I kind of think Donald Trump only cares about the things that are that he watches and consumes. I think he's a man who still watches TV. He still watches cable. And so I don't know. Is Donald Trump scrolling YouTube? I don't think so. I think that's why we've been relatively safe on this platform because Donald Trump's just not here consuming what we're making. Uh, but I will say that it's interesting to me that Republicans and uh, billionaires are trying so hard to control what Americans consume and they're succeeding. I mean, CBS is owned

4:37 by a right-wing billionaire now, but it hasn't materialized in ratings. In fact, Americans are like, "Oh, okay. That's what you want us to watch. We're going to watch something else." So, we still have a decision about whether or not we watch these programs. And it's actually been quite hopeful to see that sure, you can buy Tik Tok, you can buy CBS, you can buy CNN, but if you change it, then Americans aren't going to watch it and they'll go somewhere else. So, go ruin CBS. Go ruin CNN. Go buy something else. Ruin it. We'll make something else that's better that people actually want to watch somewhere else. >> Yeah. Yeah. I I agree. I I I will just briefly note there are in some cases there are levels of resources that some of these legacy media have to do certain

5:23 types of investigations particularly internationally that I hate to see lost. Like CNN used to do lots of great you know foreign reporting on like conflicts and stuff like that. And if you kill CNN, like there's there's lots of great independent journalism and some of it is internationally, but generally you're going to want to go to primary sources from those countries because independent people on YouTube don't generally have the resources to do international work. I can think of only a couple that do like, you know, Hassan can travel to Cuba and stuff like that or go to China or something like that. There's lots of great commentators. We don't have those resources. And so I think to some extent the regime feels like we just kill those things. They can fail, whatever. And it would be great if there were there was no journalism. There was nobody watching, you know, over their shoulders and stuff like that. So that's one of my

6:09 concerns, too. You know what TYT has always been about? Taking on the corrupt, greedy establishment. For us, it's the corporate media. We've been fighting that fight for over 20 years.
