Late-night host Stephen Colbert seemed surprised when his audience burst out laughing following his assertion that CNN did “objective” reporting.  CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins was a guest on the show Monday night. As expected, they spent the time discussing the upcoming presidential election, including the changing strategy Republicans have taken now that the Democratic candidate switched from President Joe Biden to Vice President Kamala Harris. Not even NYC lefties buy CNN as objective. @colbertlateshow audience laughed when Stephen #Colbert asserted: “I know you guys are objective over there, that you just report the news as it is” @KaitlanCollins: “That supposed to be a laugh line?” Colbert: “It wasn’t supposed to be” pic.twitter.com/IfqNEDPrfa — Brent Baker ?? ?? (@BrentHBaker) August 13, 2024 “Trump has kind of been thrown on his heels by this and he’s not really sure how to go after Vice President Harris,” said Collins. “He knew his attack lines on President Biden. He really has struggled with how to go after someone who’s twenty years younger than him, who is a different gender, a different race… it’s kind of been this moment where he has not been able to coalesce around a single attack line.”  WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI “I know you guys are objective over there, that you just report the news as it is,” Colbert said of CNN, which spurred the audience to erupt into laughter. Colbert turned toward the audience, seemingly surprised by the reaction. “No, I know, CNN makes a, uh, I know this…” he stuttered as they kept laughing. “Was that supposed to be a laugh line?” Collins asked the late-night host. “Ah, it wasn’t supposed to be, but…I guess it is,” Colbert replied. “Umm…..” Then he quickly changed the subject, asking if Collins could have predicted that Biden would drop out of the race. Social media users were quick to react to the clip, which started circulating on X. “I absolutely loved the joke about CNN being objective. It was a great moment between you and the audience,” an X user wrote, addressing Collins.  “That was hilarious, even the woke crowd knows,” another replied, referencing how most of Colbert’s audience in New York City was likely to be liberal.  

A brief trip back to my native Britain the other week was a depressing experience. There has been widespread rioting in cities across England following the murder of three young girls in Southport at a Taylor Swift dance class. A large number of Brits, I think it is fair to say, are extremely agitated about uncontrolled (often illegal) immigration. Tens of thousands of migrants have been allowed to flood into the country on small dinghies from France. 1 in 27 people now living in Britain arrived in the past two years. 4 in 10 foreign-born people in Britain have arrived in the past decade.  There is a palpable sense that nothing in Britain runs the way it should, least of all the criminal justice system. The number of recorded rapes in England and Wales in 2023-24 was three times higher than in 2013-14. A recent investigation discovered that across much of the country, the police had not identified a single suspect for neighborhood crimes over the previous three years. Only a few weeks before the unrest erupted, the authorities announced that even violent offenders would be released from prison after serving a mere 40 percent of their sentences. Then came the riots, and the authorities suddenly discovered that it is possible to arrest and prosecute criminals after all. Prosecutions that would normally take months to come to court were undertaken within a few days. That, plus the return of British rain, seems to have dampened the spirits of the troublemakers. Instead of clamping down on immigration, or addressing some of the underlying concerns about Muslim integration (or lack thereof), the authorities seem to find it easier to clamp down on free speech, prosecuting people for obnoxious opinions about either immigrants or Muslims expressed online. The most senior official in charge of public prosecutions in Britain declared that he has a team of “dedicated police officers scouring social media” to arrest people for posting things that are “insulting” or “abusive”. He even threatened to extradite people to the UK for sharing such material online. All of this has helped contribute to the now widely held idea that Britain has a “two tier” criminal justice system. Having cheerfully announced that they would be letting violent criminals out of prison after completing less than half their sentences a few weeks before, the authorities now threaten people with jail time for expressing idiotic views. In Cheshire, the police boasted of arresting a woman for what they called “an inaccurate social media post”. In order to fully understand why Britain is in such a sorry state it is essential to appreciate what has gone wrong with the country’s judiciary. Mass immigration has become an explosive issue in Britain because judges have routinely thwarted attempts by successive governments to control it. In 2010, 2015, 2017 and 2019, Brits voted repeatedly to end mass immigration. It has not happened because judges have systematically prevented elected governments from controlling the country’s borders. British judges only ever seem to rule in favor of those who enter the country illegally being able to remain, ruling on the basis of what they think the law should be, not the laws Parliament has passed.   Britain, a once orderly, high-trust society has become increasingly lawless because judges have routinely failed to apply sentences that ordinary Brits would regard as just. It is so commonplace for violent robbers and rapists to be given community sentences, rather than go to prison, it is seldom even reported anymore. Why are British judges so awful? Because they are unaccountable to the public. In Britain, judges are appointed, not elected. Until 2006, at least the appointments were made by an elected minister, meaning there was a degree of democratic oversight.   Since 2006, Britain’s judges have been appointed by the Judicial Appointments Commission, a body obsessed about diversity, equity and inclusion, rather than justice. Thanks to Human Rights law, judges are not merely unaccountable. They regard judicial activism as part of their job. Liberty and order in Britain are collapsing as a consequence. At some point, we must all hope a new Margaret Thatcher emerges in Britain, someone with the vision and principle to save the country from decline. On its current trajectory, Britain is drifting towards the abyss of a sectarian society. In 2001, there were one and a half million Muslims in Britain. Today there are 4 million. If even a small percentage of British Muslims adhere to the Islamist teachings of Sayyid Qutb, the Egyptian father of modern violent jihad, the country has a massive problem. Far from addressing the problem, right now Britain is a country that cannot even talk about the fact that it might have a problem. Any new Thatcher must, as she did, address an underlying British economic malaise. Thanks to net zero energy policies, extraordinary restrictive regulations, high taxes and excessive public spending, the UK has had remarkably little per capita growth over the past decade. But far more important than fixing the economy, Britain needs a state machinery capable of addressing issues of culture and cohesion. Old assumptions, and long established precedents governing citizenship, will need to change. For that to happen, the next Thatcher needs to recognize that much of the machinery of the British state is dysfunctional. Reform is overdue. Judges need to come under some sort of democratic oversight. Senior civil servants must no longer be afforded the luxury of deciding whether to implement policies that clash with their preferences. Those elected to Parliament, not unelected officials, need to be able to decide if the country can afford to cut taxes. Britain can only be pulled back from the brink by a leader that recognizes that it is time to treat the judiciary and the administrative state as Thatcher once treated the trade unions. * * * Douglas Carswell is the President and CEO of the Mississippi Center for Public Policy.

Paramount Television Studios announced Tuesday that they would be laying off 15% of their United States-based workforce over the coming months and shutting down one of its television studios. “A short time ago, we informed the team at Paramount Television Studios (PTVS) that the studio will cease operations at the end of the week,” Paramount co-CEOs George Cheeks, Brian Robbins, and Chris McCarthy wrote in a memo to the staff, per The Los Angeles Times. “This is not a decision based on how PTVS performed,” the executive team explained in the note. “This move is the result of significant changes in the TV and streaming marketplace and the need to streamline our company.” The outlet noted that the studio shutting down is the one responsible for making television shows including “Reacher” for Amazon Prime Video, “The Spiderwick Chronicles” for the Roku Channel, “13 Reasons Why” for Netflix, and “Station Eleven” for Warner Bros. Discovery. Paramount reported having 21,900 full- and part-time employees and 4,500 project-based staff members in 33 countries at the end of 2023, according to Deadline. The company cut 3% of its staff last February. These mass layoffs will help save the company $500 million by reducing the headcount by about 3,000 employees, the outlet noted. The memo further stated that Paramount will let go of certain staff members “starting today and continuing through the end of the year.” WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI “We expect 90% of these actions to be complete by the end of September,” the memo said. “The industry continues to evolve, and Paramount is at an inflection point where changes must be made to strengthen our business. And while these actions are often difficult, we are confident in our direction forward,” the entertainment execs wrote. The news comes as Paramount continues to lose money, resulting in controlling shareholder Shari Redstone deciding to offload the company her family has been in charge of for more than 35 years. A planned two-step merger is being led by Skydance Media. David Ellison’s company has plans to invest $8 billion in the takeover, which starts with an acquisition from shareholder National Amusements Inc. before a merger with RedBird Capital and billionaire Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, among others. The merger has yet to be approved by regulators, which is slated to happen later this month if no other potential buyers come forward.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said this week that he believes there is a good chance that President Joe Biden leaves office before the elections this fall. Cruz made the remarks during the most recent episode of his “Verdict” podcast with co-host Ben Ferguson while mentioning that he predicted a year ago that Democrats were going to replace Biden before the election. “So, I’m going to make another prediction, and it’s not one that I want to have happen,” Cruz said. “I’m going to put the odds at 40% that Joe Biden resigns between now and Election Day.” “I think there are going to be very serious discussions in the White House by all the partisans whose paycheck is written by continuing the regime,” he continued. “Everyone who stays in power is going to say, you know, if you say your health has reached a point that you need to step aside.” Ferguson said that doing so would give Harris a “huge advantage” in the election, to which Cruz responded: “Which is why I think they will have a very serious discussion. I think if they can bully Joe Biden into doing it, it’ll happen.” WATCH: Cruz predicted last September that Democrats were going to force Biden out of the presidential race this August. His prediction was only off by a few weeks. WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI Cruz said that Democrats would turn Biden into a hero if he announced that he was not running for re-election and that they would “immediately start carving him on Rushmore, figuratively speaking, the Rushmore of socialists.” “Joe Biden would permanently, look, he aspires to be the next FDR,” he said. “And part of how Democrats would get him to step down is by saying, ‘By doing this, you’re the next FDR; by doing this, you’re George Washington, stepping down … You’re demonstrating the ultimate statesmen principle.'”
