We're actually going to start with our main story tonight,
which concerns Trump's relationship with the press.
It's always been antagonistic.
And this week, we got yet another reminder
when he was asked a perfectly reasonable question
about reports that he planned to accept
a luxury jet from Qatar.
REPORTER:
You're ABC Fake News, right?
It's only ABC.
Well, a few of you would.
Let me tell you.
You should be embarrassed asking that question.
They're giving us a free jet.
It's not a gift to me,
it's a gift to the Department of Defense.
And you should know better,
because you've been embarrassed enough,
and so has your network.
Your network is a disaster.
ABC is a disaster.
That is pretty hostile, though I actually agree
that ABC should be embarrassed.
Just not for that entirely legitimate question,
but for the fact that, as of taping,
they still haven't renewed Doctor Odyssey for season two.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
What the fuck are you doing, ABC?
It's sexy ER on a boat.
It's The Pitt with sharks.
It's got, and I'm not even going to try
and beat their tagline on this,
"big deck energy."
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
In its pilot episode alone,
it featured a water slide injury,
someone overdosing on shrimp,
and this.
DR. MAX BANKMAN: What happened?
It... It broke.
He's in shock.
What broke, Mr. Harrington?
Is it a bone?
(AUDIENCE GROANS)
DR. AVERY MORGAN: Penile fracture.
Are you not entertained?
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
How is ABC renewing shows called The Rookie
and Will Trent,
whose premise is apparently just,
"Despite being dyslexic,
-he's become a special agent... -(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
...in the Georgia Bureau of Investigation"?
What?!
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
But they haven't renewed the only show
brave enough to answer the question,
"What if sick, but boat?"
I shouldn't complain about the other shows.
I shouldn't care that a show called and about a rookie
is returning for its premise-defying eighth season.
And I don't begrudge any audience members
for sticking around to find out
if their favorite characters will or won't Trent.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
All I'm saying is ABC's The View has been on since 1997
and "Dr. Hot Boat" is still in limbo.
You're a disgrace, ABC!
Your network is a disaster.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
The problem is,
Trump clearly only likes when people are nice to him,
and the press,
by covering the things he says and does
and the way he says and does them,
is, in his opinion, being mean.
Back in his first campaign,
he attacked journalists constantly,
calling Jake Tapper "Fake Tapper,"
Maggie Haberman "Maggot Hagerman,"
and Katie Tur "Little Katie,"
which compared to the others is just lazy.
Little Katie sounds like a doll from the 1970s
that was discontinued for giving children lead poisoning.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
But in his second term,
Trump's administration has escalated
those attacks on the press,
from making it easier to subpoena journalist records,
to detaining a Tufts University student
after she'd co-authored an op-ed on Gaza,
to Trump calling for Republicans to defund NPR and PBS,
calling them "radical left monsters
that so badly hurt our country."
And in March, he even went to the DOJ
to issue this chilling announcement.
I believe that CNN and MSDNC,
who literally write 97.6 percent bad about me,
are political arms of the Democrat Party.
And in my opinion,
they're really corrupt and they're illegal.
What they do is illegal.
And it has to stop. It has to be illegal.
Okay.
"What the press does has to be illegal"
is obviously extremely bad, but I also want to talk
about that 97.6 percent real quick,
because I'm genuinely surprised that he knew
that made-up number would sound more authentic
if he added a decimal point.
-A decimal... -(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
...just feels more like a real number,
even if it isn't.
If I tell you 20 percent
of Taco Bell ground beef is actually horse,
you're like, "No way, number's too round."
-But... -(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
...if I say 21.6 percent is horse, you'd be like,
"Mmm, he wouldn't make up a number that specific."
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
Now, to be clear,
I wouldn't say either of those numbers, though,
because we all know that the real number
is significantly higher, but apparently, legally,
-I can't say that, so I won't. -(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
And unfortunately,
even as Trump's aggression has gone up,
some owners of press outlets have gotten more submissive.
During Trump's first term,
a lot of outlets positioned themselves
as "fierce watchdogs for truth."
The Washington Post, for instance,
adopted the slogan, "Democracy dies in darkness."
But this time, even before the election,
they seemed noticeably gentler.
The Post's owner, Jeff Bezos,
killed the paper's endorsement for Kamala Harris.
He also ordered that its op-ed page
focus purely on the importance
of personal liberties and free markets.
Bezos has seemingly gone out of his way
to cozy up to Trump
with his company paying 40 million dollars
to license a documentary on Melania,
the most Amazon has ever spent on a documentary,
and even standing behind Trump at his inauguration.
And come on,
that's not just bending the knee,
that's bending both knees,
arching your back, and relaxing your holes.
(STUDIO AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
Bezos isn't the only media owner making notable concessions.
JONATHAN LEMIRE: The billionaire owner of the Los Angeles Times
has reportedly asked the paper's editorial board
to, quote, "Take a break"
from writing about President-elect Donald Trump.
Patrick Soon-Shiong has reportedly required editors
