Kevin O’Leary Slams Colbert: Only a Moron Would Tell the President to ‘Eff Off’ Before He Gets His Check

PHILLIP There are plenty ░░░░░░░░ people I don t ░░░░░░░░ are funny I think ░░░░░░░░ real question is should ░░░░░░░░ president of the United ░░░░░░░░ be picking and choosing ░░░░░░░░ who should have jobs ░░░░░░░░ on whether they say ░░░░░░░░ things about him or ░░░░░░░░ O LEARY Well he ░░░░░░░░ fired before Trump said ░░░░░░░░ word 46 2 PHILLIP ░░░░░░░░ Trump called for his ░░░░░░░░ last O LEARY It ░░░░░░░░ a very simple explanation ░░░░░░░░ Okay let me respond ░░░░░░░░ what you said Trump ░░░░░░░░ for his firing last ░░░░░░░░ Just to be clear ░░░░░░░░ LEARY Okay Let s ░░░░░░░░ about what actually happened ░░░░░░░░ 2 million in losses ░░░░░░░░ a franchise that s ░░░░░░░░ years old It s ░░░░░░░░ It s dead And ░░░░░░░░ for all of the ░░░░░░░░ people are geometrically not ░░░░░░░░ late night TV anymore ░░░░░░░░ s the problem for ░░░░░░░░ His contract is a ░░░░░░░░ contract through a transaction ░░░░░░░░ there s a change ░░░░░░░░ control Only a moron ░░░░░░░░ tell the president to ░░░░░░░░ off before he gets ░░░░░░░░ check Okay So what ░░░░░░░░ going to happen now ░░░░░░░░ my opinion is tomorrow ░░░░░░░░ his boss will fire ░░░░░░░░ and they will litigate ░░░░░░░░ the next five years ░░░░░░░░ payout BOYKIN Fire who ░░░░░░░░ Colbert O LEARY Absolutely ░░░░░░░░ rid of this guy ░░░░░░░░ Oh no PHILLIP So ░░░░░░░░ you re saying they ░░░░░░░░ really going to fire ░░░░░░░░ for saying mean things ░░░░░░░░ the president Todd I ░░░░░░░░ to go back to ░░░░░░░░ O LEARY He will ░░░░░░░░ get his check Todd ░░░░░░░░ something Kevin just said ░░░░░░░░ buy media for campaigns ░░░░░░░░ the country for Senate ░░░░░░░░ for House races for ░░░░░░░░ races The reason prime ░░░░░░░░ late night comedy is ░░░░░░░░ the lineup is to ░░░░░░░░ the female bias in ░░░░░░░░ time Late night comedy ░░░░░░░░ long the domain of ░░░░░░░░ young male viewer Actually ░░░░░░░░ made it the most ░░░░░░░░ day part in advertising ░░░░░░░░ since Stephen Colbert and ░░░░░░░░ Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel ░░░░░░░░ killed it it is ░░░░░░░░ the bluest part of ░░░░░░░░ nighttime television They have ░░░░░░░░ failed their one mission ░░░░░░░░ was to keep a ░░░░░░░░ audience and especially of ░░░░░░░░ men Late night TV ░░░░░░░░ become blue That s ░░░░░░░░ their job BOYKIN I ░░░░░░░░ to tell you this ░░░░░░░░ people I know I ░░░░░░░░ on TV right now ░░░░░░░░ people aren t watching ░░░░░░░░ as much anymore these ░░░░░░░░ And it s a ░░░░░░░░ s a change It ░░░░░░░░ a change that s ░░░░░░░░ going on for decades ░░░░░░░░ It has nothing to ░░░░░░░░ with Stephen Colbert and ░░░░░░░░ Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel ░░░░░░░░ it s just a ░░░░░░░░ is going on in ░░░░░░░░ world But I don ░░░░░░░░ like the idea and ░░░░░░░░ think you agree with ░░░░░░░░ too Stephen I don ░░░░░░░░ like the idea of ░░░░░░░░ president of the United ░░░░░░░░ picking who s funny ░░░░░░░░ who s not And ░░░░░░░░ think I just heard ░░░░░░░░ say Stephen that you ░░░░░░░░ t think the president ░░░░░░░░ be picking winners and ░░░░░░░░ right as well So ░░░░░░░░ how do you justify ░░░░░░░░ fact that this president ░░░░░░░░ essentially trying to do ░░░░░░░░ And he is the ░░░░░░░░ of cancel culture even ░░░░░░░░ this because the most ░░░░░░░░ example I can think ░░░░░░░░ is Colin Kaepernick Before ░░░░░░░░ Trump was this Donald ░░░░░░░░ he called for Colin ░░░░░░░░ to be fired from ░░░░░░░░ job He said Get ░░░░░░░░ S O B off ░░░░░░░░ field And that s ░░░░░░░░ happened and Colin Kaepernick ░░░░░░░░ blackballed from the San ░░░░░░░░ 49ers and from the ░░░░░░░░ because of Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ s cancel culture MOORE ░░░░░░░░ there is one late ░░░░░░░░ comedian who s really ░░░░░░░░ right now and that ░░░░░░░░ Bill Maher And Bill ░░░░░░░░ is funny I mean ░░░░░░░░ takes shots at everybody ░░░░░░░░ think one of the ░░░░░░░░ what s evolved PHILLIP ░░░░░░░░ s not on you ░░░░░░░░ he s on a ░░░░░░░░ network MOORE He s ░░░░░░░░ great ratings He s ░░░░░░░░ funny He takes shots ░░░░░░░░ everybody I think the ░░░░░░░░ people stopped watching BOYKIN ░░░░░░░░ TV is different MOORE ░░░░░░░░ s supposed to be ░░░░░░░░ Network TV is supposed ░░░░░░░░ be something that everyone ░░░░░░░░ watch BOYKIN Network TV ░░░░░░░░ dying We all know ░░░░░░░░ PHILLIP Can I just ░░░░░░░░ one more thing from ░░░░░░░░ is what Stephen Colbert ░░░░░░░░ know he s now ░░░░░░░░ this point he said ░░░░░░░░ gloves are off He ░░░░░░░░ slamming his own bosses ░░░░░░░░ their decision to cancel ░░░░░░░░ show Listen Clip starts ░░░░░░░░ How could it purely ░░░░░░░░ a financial decision if ░░░░░░░░ late show was number ░░░░░░░░ in ratings Over the ░░░░░░░░ somebody at CBS followed ░░░░░░░░ their gracious press release ░░░░░░░░ a gracious anonymous leak ░░░░░░░░ they pulled the plug ░░░░░░░░ our show because of ░░░░░░░░ pegged between 40 million ░░░░░░░░ 50 million a year ░░░░░░░░ million is a big ░░░░░░░░ I could see us ░░░░░░░░ 24 million but where ░░░░░░░░ Paramount have possibly spent ░░░░░░░░ other 16 million oh ░░░░░░░░ Oh Oh Clip ends ░░░░░░░░ LEARY That s not ░░░░░░░░ funny That s the ░░░░░░░░ with him He s ░░░░░░░░ funny And by the ░░░░░░░░ if the CBS bosses ░░░░░░░░ t want to whack ░░░░░░░░ I ll do it ░░░░░░░░ them I d fire ░░░░░░░░ guy in four seconds ░░░░░░░░ I were running the ░░░░░░░░ there Gone And then ░░░░░░░░ them litigate for his ░░░░░░░░ if he s worth ░░░░░░░░ 30 40 Let him ░░░░░░░░ 12 years through litigation ░░░░░░░░ hire his own lawyers ░░░░░░░░ guy is dumb Todd ░░░░░░░░ you know where Stephen ░░░░░░░░ PHILLIP I mean it ░░░░░░░░ interesting that KASPARIAN I ░░░░░░░░ isn t that an ░░░░░░░░ that like Trump would ░░░░░░░░ him or want him ░░░░░░░░ because he s critical ░░░░░░░░ Trump O LEARY No ░░░░░░░░ just insulted his bosses ░░░░░░░░ what is this guy ░░░░░░░░ Well he does have ░░░░░░░░ O LEARLY Whack him ░░░░░░░░ him!”
