Ep 250 | The REAL Reason Showtime Canceled 'Desus & Mero' | Nancy Pelosi’s Stock Tips
from Fearless with Jason Whitlock · host Blaze Podcast Network
You’re being bamboozled. After four lackluster seasons, Showtime’s "Desus & Mero" is being canceled. If you listen to the media reports, most crafted by the network’s public relations team, the show is falling victim to “creative differences.” Just like your favorite band, Desus and Mero are parting ways to pursue solo projects. Jason gives us the real reason the show was euthanized. “No one watched. 'Desus & Mero' couldn’t build an audience because the alleged comedians weren’t funny, smart, profound, or bold. They were a stereotype. They cursed, said the N-word, giggled like they were high, and spewed the left-wing and Alphabet Mafia talking points Showtime handed them.” The 2020 debut episode with Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez reeled in 150,000 viewers, the high-water mark for the program. Despite a left-wing who’s who, including Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Denzel Washington, Chris Rock, Lil Nas X, Stacey Abrams, and Megan Rapinoe, the show never gained any traction. "Fearless" contributor Steve Kim joins the show and shares his "Desus & Mero" approval rating. The Pelosis are Pelosing. Paul purchases millions of tech stocks just before Nancy is set to vote on a bill that would send billions to the industry. Former Pennsylvania Senate candidate Kathy Barnette stops in to spotlight the shady stock trading in Congress and to discuss the stranglehold that the Democratic Party has on the black vote. Finally, Maj Toure joins the show to discuss the good guy with a gun that stopped a mass shooter in Indiana. Shout Out from Jason: Do you love gifts?
