the hollywood reporter is reporting that here comes honey blueblood t_l_c_
actually received equal ratings too
bill clinton's speech at the d_n_c_
we all know they also tried to work with congressional republicans
on health care debt reduction and new jobs
they worked out so well
so what's the go good use
it's capping drying
and that's the hand and return
see you next
like a silica kathy highly caffeinated soda and a and an energy for yes as the
senate republican leader said in a remarkable moment of candor
truphone years before the election
they are number one priority was not to put america back to work
they want to put the president have more
three
developed very fast
tunes
but
yes
now before we continue with this conversation i want to make sure that
they give you guys a huge disclaimer
when we're talking about these ratings were comparing t_l_c_ to c_n_n_
specifically however if you look at all the networks at the d_n_c_ coverage
you'll realize that
d_n_c_ actually got more ratings that your company to but still more people
are watching
t_l_c_
a during bill clinton's speech
then they were watching c_n_n_ and at that time it with your company too
little depressing yeah socially e look
it makes it may still though the better that it c_n_n_ which historically we
don't have very high expectations for the ratings unfortunately uh...
but yeah i think it's not like
they got better ratings in like the eighteenth of twenty five demographic
adds up to forty nine years old the after forty eight year old men sit
around watching a little girl but yall on caffeine rather than watching
and inspiring amazingly delivered speech by a former president in the lead up to
an extremely influential inconsequential election
when i was reading this and i saw this and and as you said there's a disclaimer
but
i think that this is one of the signs that i may be getting older that i a m
now and convince as so many older people in generations past where that i think
that we are
breeding in encouraging stupidity
but not to be free to watch whatever you want right but i think that
we are creating or we live in the continuation of a culture that
encourages people to
and wanted to not want to better themselves and for cells just watched
that
the worst elements of humanity america that my thoughts and many people are
pretty clear based on data and video we did recently about how i think it's it's
horrible to exploit this little girl like that and you were encouraging her
to have to wait it she's acting and i don't like it i think it's destructive
uh... but at the same time here's the good news ok during bill clinton's
speech
here comes honey bubble actually experienced a twenty-percent ratings
dropped from previous episodes
bailey had to a point
million viewers
that's actually very depressing you know you guys can sense my sarcasm
you know what
i don't know if it has to do with your getting older i think that people are at
this point obsessed with escapism pain
everything is so catastrophic you watch the news everything is depressing the
economy is bad uh... climate change
over spending more money on prisons and eyes occasion i mean how many depressing
stories do we do on a daily basis
and once in awhile all catch myself watching reality shows because
as my intern migraine o
quite often it because after a full day of covering stuff that literally mason
want a lock myself in a closet and cry like the reality shows and give me an
opportunity to shut my brain off and just
focus on the lighter side of life right
but at the same time it is harmful
when you're trying to run head
democracy when you're trying to get people to participate in
political activism but
they're distracted by all these crazy shows it on t_v_ right now and they're
still unbelievably successful
well i i will say first of all i want to give people the impression that from
what i was saying before that i was like at home playing the violin or sculpting
no i i watch archer and went on editing to light c_d_i_ watching their children
which is a bit of new rochelle i'm wasting my time with reruns from the
late eighties and early nineties
so i'm not saying that i'm in the end of this art was raised in the same cultural
criticizing
um... but i think that as part of our job we do try to expose it information
going on in america and around the globe that
will expand your horizons wall so having a little bit of fun
right uh... ait when you said the two point four million viewers
them into a little bit better because that it's a lot of people but it's
obviously very small portion of the american population at large
but the same time what we're only three or four million people watching bill
clinton this is the d_n_c_ we have an election coming up it should be fifty
million people watching a major speech by former president in the lead of the
election and they promise while i'm not saying to the d_n_c_ like this a
person's running
to rule the country
do you think that has to do with apathy
or our people just disillusioned and discouraged about the other things
yeah i think that he has a large part of it but i think people are also just
kinda tired i have to be completely honest i was very fired up during the
two thousand eight elections
it's very difficult for me to be as inspired and excited about the elections
this time around
and it you know i'd care i'm not happy about it but at the same time it's like
alright obama say that he's gonna do a d_n_c_ he's probably not
here's ronnie used to saying he's gonna destroy the economy
uh... give give the wealthiest at tax cuts
danielle probably do that if he gets elected
so it's
uh... it's not something that you get excited about i think people are also
discouraged about our political system you know that and they feel like you
have to vote for the lesser of two evils and that's
partners like you know it kind of goes into the escapism argument
but watch many people we don't have to think about it
