"Yes. Read today's newsletter. Right after Epstein was indicted he started emphasizing he was "not a fan" stared claiming that he threw him out of Mar-a-Lago told associates he was "a real creep" etc. Now throw in Trump's volcanic reaction to last night's big WSJ story"

"It would be easier to make the argument against greater state involvement in private industries and companies if the federal government under a Republican president wasnt sporadically embracing the idea to get what the president wants. President Trump has no principled objection to government control over private corporations; he just wants arrangements that he can tout as a terrific deal"

"Its tempting to point the finger at Stephen Colbert himself for making the show financially unworkable; press reports have put Colberts salary at $XX million per year. Whether or not that figure is accurate we know it is in the millions of dollars. But that probably means 2-4 30-second ads per night pay Colbert's salary (and a show has what 15-20 minutes of ads) If Colberts salary was really the problem CBS could let him go and hire some other host at a lower salary"

"Whether or not Trump ever engaged in illegal sexual activity with a minor around Epstein there is little doubt that Trump finds his years upon years of Bacchanalian debauchery with a notorious sex trafficker to be extremely embarrassing even for a man who can seem so shameless and wants to downplay it as much as possible. The most generous interpretation of Trumps actions in those years is that he noticed his friend the single hedonistic billionaire was always around girls who looked younger than XX but it never crossed his mind that something illegal could be going on"

We will also have fewer entrepreneurs fewer doctors fewer innovators and geniuses and fewer problem-solvers.

How many consecutive years did the makers of The Late Show think that CBS could sustain losing $XX million making the show Even if Colberts $XX million per year salary wasnt the only cost keeping the show in the red how much longer did he think CBS could continue paying him like a best-in-the-league NFL player if his shows advertising revenue kept declining"

"Our old friend Kyle Smith responded to the news that CBS was canceling The Late Show by attributing it to the hubris of Stephen Colbert. The host no doubt understood the show was losing $XX million per year. He could have led the way years ago by taking a pay cut (Colbert was making $XX million) and encouraging everyone else to do the same and looking at the budget for manageable cuts. Instead Colbert shrugged his shoulders and continued operating as usual convinced that the network valued him and his show so much they were comfortable losing $XX million per year on it. You get the feeling"
