The co-hosts of MSNBC's "Morning Joe"
were so eager to troll the former president and their ex-bestie Donald
Trump that they rushed to bolster the viewership of the first primetime
January 6 hearing by making a far-fetched comparison to mock the
audience of his hit NBC programs.
Thursday marked the first of several hearings being conducted by the House Jan. 6 Select Committee
to lay out what its investigation discovered looking into the events
that led up to the pro-Trump riot that erupted on Capitol Hill.
The
hearing was broadcasted live on many of the biggest networks including
ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC and CNN. Early numbers indicate that roughly 20
million viewers collectively tuned in for the political programming
produced in consultation with former ABC News president James Goldston.
On Monday, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski were overly giddy to
tout those numbers at the expense of Trump, who is known for his
fixation on the size of TV audiences.
"Mika, did you know that
about 20 million people across America watched Thursday's primetime
hearing?" Scarborough playfully asked. "And as the Times points out,
those 20 million viewers is in the ballpark with big television events
like Sunday Night Football."
"Oh, my God!" Brzezinski exclaimed.
"But I want you to compare
those 20 million viewers with the biggest ratings Donald Trump garnered
for his reality show," Scarborough said.
"Morning Joe" then pointed to numbers showing 20 million viewers
topped the "7.6 million" Trump received when he hosted the final season
of NBC's "Celebrity Apprentice"
and the "4.6 million" he earned for the final season of "The
Apprentice," all while displaying an image of Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo.,
laughing as she stands above the former president.
"Wow, so these hearings trumped that," Brzezinski said.
"I'm not very good at math… but if you look at the last season of
‘The Apprentice,’ Trump got 4.6 million and Liz Cheney got 20 million…
and then ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ that season got 7.6 million ‘cause you
know, after ’The Apprentice,' you know, only 4.6 million for a primetime
show that he said was the greatest ever, they had to start getting
celebrities like, like Gary Busey and other people on to get people
watching, right?" Scarborough said while chuckling. "Because Trump was
4.6 in primetime on a broadcast…"
"Small," Brzezinski interjected.
"Really
small, but anyway, so look at these numbers again," Scarborough said
before re-airing the stats on the screen. "It's pretty significant. So,
like, you know, if Trump said that ‘The Apprentice' was like one of the
most popular shows of all time, that's great."
The MSNBC program also went on to cite the 11.76 million viewers who
watched the final game of the 2021 World Series, the 11.78 million who
watched the NBA Finals as well as the single-digit audiences that tuned
in to "American Idol" and "Survivor," all to argue that there is a huge
public interest in the Jan. 6 hearings.
No one on the "Morning
Joe" panel acknowledged that holding up the hearing's viewership, which
aired across several networks, to the "Apprentice" programs that only
aired on a single network is far beyond comparing apples and oranges.
The last major multi-network event that had roughly as equal exposure as
the Jan. 6 hearing was President Biden's first official State of the
Union address in March, which earned 38 million viewers, trouncing the
Democrat-led committee's primetime debut. President Trump's final SOTU
address in 2020 also bested the hearing, reaching over 37 million
viewers, something "Morning Joe" would rather avoid acknowledging.
Morning Joe joked about Trump, pointing out that more folks tuned in to the January 6 hearing than to his old TV show.They were just having some fun and making it clear that the hearing was a big deal. It was their way of teasing him on live TV.
President Donald Trump has an Achilles' heel when it comes to Russia. Over the years, he's made no secret that he has a soft spot for the country and its authoritarian leader, President Vladimir Putin. Trump has proved that he is willing to reject widely held US foreign policy views and align himself with the Kremlin on everything from Russian interference in US elections to the war in Syria. Most recently, Trump has denied the veracity of US intelligence reports accusing Russia of paying bounties to Taliban fighters to kill US troops in Afghanistan. Pressed on the topic during an interview with Axios that was released on Wednesday, Trump said he did not raise the issue during a recent phone call with Putin, and continued to suggest that the reports are "fake news." During the 2016 campaign, Trump's ties to Russians were so concerning that the FBI believed there was good reason to investigate potential collusion between his 2016 campaign an...
