Well, then you're not likely making decisions. They want to end the matter. Jesse Jones. Jesse Williams. Go. Obviously he's disgusting. He's terrible. He's a sexist misogynist. Hence, the leading candidate to take Tucker Carlson's job. Jank was right. Jesse Waters will be taking over Tucker Carlson's time slot on Fox News. In fact, Fox News just announced its prime time lineup. And Jesse Waters will be taking over

that time slot. And other people will be moved around just to give you some more information. And I think there's a lot of information on that. No, in fact, before I get to those details, Jank, how does it feel to be right about your prediction? Look, I'm not saying that hashtag Jank was right should be trending on Twitter. I'm not saying that. No one trends on

Twitter for good reasons. Well, that's true. And I often trend on Twitter. Anyways, all right. Look, in this story, I predicted that Jesse Waters things a couple of times. And I also said Greg Godfeld would get one of the shows that you're going to see that also happen. And the reason for that is you have to stop thinking like you. You have to think like the

other side. And that's a huge problem for most people. It's hard to see outside your own perspective. So as we look at Jesse Waters and Greg Godfeld, and they always make the sexist jokes, sometimes race jokes, etc. You think, that's terrible. I mean, they're probably not going to go with them. No, that means they're almost certainly going to go with them. They're trying to replace a

guy who built his career and their great ratings based on all the worst parts of the right wing, right? There are some good parts of the right wing. Am I not merciful? Right? But the bigotry, the racism, the corruption, the conspiracy theories, etc. So they wanted to find someone as close to as obnoxious as Tucker Carlson as they could. And that is going to be Jesse

Dirty Waters. My take is a little different. I mean, remember Tucker got fired. I don't think they want to replace someone they fired with someone as similar to Tucker as possible. I do. I do. Yeah, but with a giant caveat, which I think is what you're kind of getting at here, which is you do everything that Tucker did except when we tell you to heal you,

heal. Okay? So we're in charge. We own this place. You don't. So be a good boy and do as you're told, attack the other side. And when we tell you to stop or when we tell you to go forward, you listen to the Murdoch's. You get a boy and that's the speech I guarantee they had with Jesse Waters and Jesse Waters reaction was this. Yeah, I

totally get it. I told you give me the money. Give me the money. I'll do whatever you say. I just don't know if Jesse Waters is going to succeed. Like you get what I'm saying. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. So I guess we'll see. But I mean, he's a prick. And that's what the viewers on Fox. Let's be honest. That's what they like. And they already

like Greg Gutfeld. And he's another prick. They're definitely pricks. Like I'll agree with that. So let's get to the rest of the lineup. So according to a press release that was put out by Fox News, the Ingram angle will be kicking off prime time at 7 PM Eastern, followed by Jesse Waters prime time, which is moving to 8 PM Eastern, then you have Hannity remaining at

9 PM and then Gutfeld with an exclamation mark, shifts to 10 PM Eastern time. So that's a slight problem for Laura Ingram. It's not a big deal from move to 10 to 7. She was at 10. But it is a little bit of a demotion. 8 is the best. 8 and 9 are arguably the best. Okay. It's sometimes people think it's 8 sometimes they think it's

9. But then 10 and then 7. Okay. All of this stuff feels, look, I get their audience as older. So it is not antiquated when you think about it in that context. Yeah. And their their viewership. But when you think about it in the context of pretty much everyone else and how they consume media, it's just hilarious. I was like, the prime time, 10 o'clock, better

than 7 o'clock, because you know, you got to rush home and make sure you're you're there in front of a TV as soon as this show goes live. By the way, shout out to our live viewers. I love you guys. But it is an antiquated comment. So you got that plus with Fox, it's a little bit different because their audience is literally average age of 70

years old. Half the audience is above 70 years old. That's why the five does so well because it's the early bird special. So normally five o'clock is way too early to do that well in television and old media. But except at Fox, they're like, oh, five o'clock, right before we go, but before we pass out for the night, let's watch this. So, but now they're taking

Jesse Waters off the five to give him his own, but eight o'clock is as sweet as it gets. So Waters has got to be pumped. Thanks for watching the Young Turks. Really appreciated. Another way to show support is through YouTube memberships. You'll get to interact with those more. There's live chat emojis, badges. You got emojis of me and a John JR. So those are super fun.
