Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!
Lagging far behind ABC World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News, the CBS Evening News moves to “the center of where everything is happening” with new anchor Norah O’Donnell. Will proximity to the action in Washington D.C. save the once-great newscast?

Scott Ott attempts to drag Stephen Green and Bill Whittle kicking and screaming into the 20th century as he announces the roll-out of Bill Whittle Network on Fire TV, and Alexa. Plus, we hear that our website has virtually disappeared…because it doesn’t look like it did a year ago.
In September, President Trump told states by executive order that they can ban refugees, but as of now, not one state has taken him up on the offer. Trump capped refugee arrivals at 18,000 — down from an Obama administration high of 110,000.
Major business leader, Bob Johnson, the founder of Black Entertainment TV (BET), tells CNBC that the 2020 presidential election is Donald Trump’s to lose. No one can dominate the news cycle like Trump, and the Democratic presidential candidates have moved to far from the center to appeal to the super-majority of Black voters the Democrats require in order to win the White House, Johnson says.
At least twice during the United States’ Cold War with the Soviet Union, a massive nuclear missile launch loomed within seconds. In each case, a single man — going against military orders — saved us from nuclear annihilation.

On a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) the senior administration official who wrote last year’s New York Times “resistance” op-ed and 2019’s book, “A Warning”, said he won’t remain Anonymous forever. He also claims other Trump critics will speak out about the chaotic and dangerous president.
Stephen Green’s Lightning Round brings hot headlines to Bill Whittle and Scott Ott in a fast-paced week in review. As AOC gets solar plant workers fired, President Trump goes bigly after Black voters, and Democrats tear their party apart over billionaire Bloomberg trying to buy an election, while Elizabeth Warren attempts the same with other people’s money.
As Elizabeth Warren appears to fade, Bernie Sanders inches up, and Joe Biden startles everyone by continuing to draw breath, Pete Buttigieg and Tulsi Gabbard gain strength. Iowa looms around the bend, and Democrats still can’t decide if they prefer a socialist geezer, a moderate man-child, or some other intersectional mashup.
Douglas McKinnon writing at TheHill.com says the Democratic ticket that scares President Trump the most is Mayor Pete Buttigieg with Rep. Tulsi Gabbard. Two young, telegenic, military veterans, who can think on their feet and connect through the camera with apparent authenticity, even Bill Whittle thinks they’re the best pairing in the current field.
Scott Ott invents a new concept to help you get to know him, and Bill Whittle, and Stephen Green. He calls it “Backstage”. If this is your first time watching, that’s probably for the best.
