WEBVTT - The Whiplash/The Griping 0:00:02.240 --> 0:00:06.480 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:10.560 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:10.560 --> 0:00:17.640 Arm Strong and Jack Katie and he Armstrong and Yetty. 0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:26.680 All of this comes as it is really unclear where 0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:30.800 diplomatic efforts to end this war now stand. Secretary of 0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:34.040 State Marco Rubio told lawmakers yesterday that a deal quote 0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:36.760 could happen today, it could happen tomorrow, it could happen 0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:39.479 next week, but he cautioned there's no guarantee that it 0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:42.680 would be acceptable to the Senate or the American people. 0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:44.960 And the President was asked in an interview about the 0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:47.519 weeks of whiplash and why he seems to be changing 0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:50.960 his stance on Iran so often, Trump saying, quote, it's 0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:53.680 just the way I am. 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:55.040 That's a funny thing to say. 0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:57.960 Donald Jay was on the Miranda Divine podcast. We're going 0:00:58.000 --> 0:00:59.960 to play you a couple of clips of the heck 0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:02.840 up in a couple of minutes, including a minute or 0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:08.120 so including being asked about his alleged obscenity laced. 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:10.920 Call with bb Net Yahoo. But she said, you're crazy. 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:13.840 You'd be in jail if it wasn't for Mela, is 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:15.959 there a rift between the two sides. 0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:22.920 And again pointing out that each president, like four or 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:26.160 five presidents have had that relationship with BB Netanyahu and 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:29.400 had that sort of conversation with him, so it's not unique. 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:31.560 Yeah at times. 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:31.880 Sure. 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:36.280 The US and Iran exchanged heavy fire overnight after the 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:38.360 US struck an empty oil tanker that it said was 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.360 attempting to breach the blockade. That set off a string 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:43.720 of attacks by both sides, with their on firing ballistic 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.959 missiles at US bases and later launching drones that struck 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:52.160 Kuwait's airport, leaving one person dead and temporarily suspending air traffic. 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.240 But despite the heavy fire, US Central Command said Tuesday 0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:58.160 night that the tenuous ceasefire. 0:01:57.760 --> 0:01:59.600 Was still ongoing. 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:03.200 Man, the fact that these other countries have held back 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:08.160 is really something. Iraq has been hit. So seven, eight, 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:11.480 nine different countries have been hit by Iranian rockets and 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:15.919 missiles and have mostly held back. Yeah, yeah, mostly, although 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:18.160 we are finding out the EUA has been much more 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:22.520 active than was previously understood. Uh So that's what happened 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.000 to most recently. Let's let's get to Miranda, Divine and 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:26.520 Trump and see what they had to say. 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:27.000 Now. 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:30.280 Axios reported that you had a phone call with BB Netanya, 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:32.840 who's the Prime Minister of Israel, in which you were 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:35.520 angry with him. You said, are you effing crazy? What 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:40.080 are you efing doing? I helped you stay out of jail. 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:42.639 Is that true? Did you speak to him in those tides? 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:45.240 Did I always say angry? I was a little bit 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:51.799 perturbed at his uh constantly fighting with Lebanon. 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:55.400 You know, at some point, as would be be, we 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:58.320 got to step this, we gotta stap it. But I 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:01.760 have a very good relationship with and well done well together. 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:05.160 He always says we could never have done it, but 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:07.480 everybody knows that we could have never done it without 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:08.440 the United States. 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:11.480 But we've I've worked very well together. I like bab 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:11.880 a lot. 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:16.120 Yeah, I'm a little troubled by that whole You're constantly 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:17.320 fighting with Lebanon. 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:20.680 He's fighting with Hespelaea, which is. 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:24.320 An armed political party that Lebanon would pay whatever it 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:26.639 took to get rid of if they possibly could. It's 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:30.200 a long and complex story, but yeah, that was a 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:32.480 little troubling. I don't know if he truly misunderstood it, 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.440 or if he was just kind of shorthanding it next. 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:38.680 Clip, And are your tactics where you say something and 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:40.840 then change it and then do a piece deal and 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:43.200 then break the seas. 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:43.720 Fire or whatever? 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:48.240 Is that all about trying to keep the Iranians off balance? 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.920 Are you sort of messaging to them? No, because people 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:56.320 at home sometimes I think you're anxious and confused. 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:56.920 It's good. 0:03:57.240 --> 0:03:59.800 It's good if they're confused and the Iranians are confused. 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:02.600 I don't think the people at home are paying attention, 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:03.760 is what I think. 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:04.680 Now. 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:08.200 I'm looking up at TV NBC News leading the hour 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:10.560 with it, but I don't think the average person is 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:14.200 thinking much more than oh, it's still going on, gas 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:16.200 is still expensive the end. 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:21.080 Unfortunately, scanning my memory banks to think about when anybody's 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:24.680 brought it up to me in real life recently, I 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:26.520 can't come up with anything well, and it still ends 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:31.040 up being evening newscasts often like the fourth story after 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:35.360 weather and a video of a guy getting knocked down 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:39.760 by a deer, and you know whatever else they I 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:43.200 do enjoy a good deer knocking down, and so let's 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:46.760 move on to other fair since perhaps this is not 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:49.240 fair that people care about it anyway, I did. 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:49.800 Want to mention this. 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:53.320 I watched a little Marco Rubio testifying before Congress yesterday, 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:57.040 and they lean a lot on that whole we've destroyed 0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:00.280 the Iranian navy. You're overlooking that their navy is at 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:03.280 the bottom of the sea. Ran no longer has a navy. 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:05.880 And I didn't even think of it until some other 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:09.080 pundit I like pointed it out. Whoever talked about the 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:12.040 Iranian navy or was worried about the Iranian navy? How 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:14.760 big a role in world politics was the Iranian navy. 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:20.440 Uh So, it's a little bit of a headfake to 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:23.599 me to keep bragging about we've sunked their navy. 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:25.160 All right, they've. 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:27.919 Got those those fast boats, those harassing boats. 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:33.119 But yeah, issue, you didn't launch this saying we've got 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:36.279 to do something about the Iranian navy and nobody's willing 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:36.760 to do it. 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.960 Yeah, right right. Ah, So what you're about to hear 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:45.640 is restraint. There's a lot of talk that Marco clearly 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:48.400 now has the edge for twenty twenty eight. I hope 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:52.400 so that Trump and company have had to arrange advents 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:55.920 in easy with the social media. Stop doing that. They're 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:58.120 getting a little annoyed with them. That's all I'm going 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:01.440 to say. I'm going to move on. I find this 0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:05.280 so interesting. Ultra processed food is the new sitting, which 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:08.400 was the new smoking apparently, or sitting around and eating 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:11.280 ultra processed food is certainly the new like smoking two 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:13.080 cigarettes at once of health. 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:14.720 There is a new. 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:19.360 Study sitting and smoking, yes, while eating a bag of doritos. Oh, 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:22.600 you're as good as dead, practically committing suicide, right, yeah, 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:24.600 just throw yourself off a cliff and save the rest 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:30.520 of us the trouble. So I approach these studies with caution. 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:36.640 Because in some questions of health, it's difficult to tease 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:40.080 out one variable. As if you paid attention in high 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.599 school science class, you know that's the scientific method. You 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:45.279 can't introduce three variables and then guess at which one 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:50.960 did want. And if you are a coke snorton, you know, 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:55.880 motorcycle racer who eats ultra processed foods, and those people 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:58.880 tend to die sooner, you can't tell me. Hip it's 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:01.640 the ultra process foods, if you know what I mean. 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:04.760 So I'll just get to the study. Eating a diet 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:08.680 high in ultra processed foods is associated with a serious 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:13.040 increased risk of dementia, according to new research, adding to 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:15.640 the growing list of health problems linked to such packaged 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:19.560 foods as packaged cookies, hot dogs, and chips, and I 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:20.920 also mentioned bacon. 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:22.239 I love hot dogs. 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:26.880 Bacon, Yes, bacon, aw man, I. 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:29.160 Can say bacon as many times as you like. 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:30.720 It's a the least buddy. 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:33.160 I don't put bacon in the same category normally. In 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:36.520 my mind, is like a bag of Doritos ultra processed food. 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:40.000 The study involved more than fifty three hundred US adults 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:42.440 age fifty and older followed them for almost nine years 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:43.200 on average. 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:44.440 The researchers from. 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:47.640 The HARVD tv Chan School of Public Health and other 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:51.120 institutions aimed a home in on the impact of ultra 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:54.000 processed foods by accounting for range of other factors that 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:59.400 affect health, including education, income, smoking, physical activity, and alcohol use, 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:00.800 et cetera, et cetera. 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:02.280 Blah blah blah. 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:05.040 These results to add to a body of scientific evidence 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:07.600 linking diets high in ultra processed foods to health problems 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:11.480 including obesity, cardiovascular disease, type two diabetes. 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:12.040 And more. 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:14.760 How about the bacon like they that they have at 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:18.520 the butcher counter? You know, it's not in the plastic packaging. 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.400 Is that different or is that the same thing? You know, 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:23.280 they don't really drill down into bacon. 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:27.640 I know, it's like smoked and cured and salted and 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:30.560 whatever else. I've got to admit, I think of that 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:33.240 very differently as you're saying that, say a pack of chips, 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:39.040 oreos horrendous pizza puff thingy ye that you heat. 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:42.240 But it's all lists matter. 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:43.760 I'm not going to eat any I'm not going to 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:46.200 eat one stick less of bacon the rest of my 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:47.080 life because of this. 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:48.880 So well, I even don't discuss it. 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:51.360 But you'll forget you made that vow so you might 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:53.920 stop eating bacon, So who knows? 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:57.959 Who knows because of my dementia from eating processed food exactly. 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:00.160 Yeah, it's kind of self correcting in a bizarre and 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:01.199 tragic way. 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:03.840 So okay. 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:07.120 They think one likely explanation for the link between ultra 0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:11.960 processed foods and dementia is that diets high income are 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:15.959 associated with obesity, type two diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, and 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:18.480 those illnesses raise the risk of dementia. 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:21.439 So it's yeah, you're right. 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:24.640 Yeah, you know, you could argue that I mean, because look, 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:28.560 don't we all have our principles in general, but we 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:29.240 have cheats. 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:32.640 Sure, and your cheat is bacon. 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:36.000 Fine, you're not gonna guzzle down pizza puffs, but by God, 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:37.960 when you have an eggs, you're gonna have a little bacon. 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:41.959 I can respect that.

Since Tom Petty, it's the 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:19.480 same world. Terrible. Yeah, say I'm fired. 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:24.000 Yes, you're fired, Scott. 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:28.640 Nobody likes you. You want me to go more on 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:30.160 that and other stuff all the way. Stay here. 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:41.120 It's disappointing to find out that Scott Pelly if sixty 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:46.640 Minutes has been fired. Oh I'm sorry, I'm all wrong. 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:48.920 It wasn't disappointing. I was very happy about it because 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:53.440 I found him insufferable. It's funny that the last interview 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:55.960 that aired with Scott Pelley on sixty Minutes was the 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:58.880 one he did with Ben Sass, Remember, and I liked 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:01.559 that topic of stuff. Ben Sas said, but it came 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:03.640 in the next morning on Monday and said, that was 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:05.959 the most pompous Scott Pelly there's ever been. 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:07.120 I mean that one was. 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:10.640 That was him taking it to like an snl skit 0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:13.640 level of leaned back in his chair and that look 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:16.679 on his face of smugness and wisdom and the glasses 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:18.880 in his teeth. I mean, he is just such an 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:22.400 act in his slow voice. But that matters to you, 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:26.440 doesn't it. Mister Sas just oh God, nobody's ever been 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:29.800 more pleased with themselves than Scott Pelly. And apparently he 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:32.400 thought he could big time the new boss at sixty 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:34.720 Minutes when they had that big meeting the other day 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:37.040 and lecture him when he walked in the room and 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:40.120 the boss said, all right, you're not gonna embarrass me 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:42.240 in front of these people. It ain't gonna work. Enjoy 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:44.319 the Bagels got up and left and then fired him. 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:45.200 Twenty four hours later. 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:49.280 Yeah, As the new executive producer was introducing himself and 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:52.200 launching into look, I have so much respect for the 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:53.480 show and all of you. 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:56.480 This is going to be collaborative. I want your voices, 0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:59.400 Scott Pelly said, ah, I must interrupt. 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:03.080 You're punk who's never done anything, and your boss has 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:06.119 no qualifications either, and she's trying to murder. 0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:07.400 The show, and I hate all of you. 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:11.320 Well, in spite of that, Bilton Nick Bilton reached out 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:13.800 to Pelly and said, look, we got to get together 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:16.680 and talk. And Pelly essentially said to me, I have 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:22.439 nothing to say to you, and so they sk candmy, they. 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:24.880 Poop candom well immediately. 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:27.160 And what was the line he had in the meeting 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:30.680 to the guy, I'm curious as to why you would 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:32.480 come somewhere nobody wants you. 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:36.760 Yes, f you, I would think, is the new boss. 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:40.840 Pelly was making five million dollars a year just for 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:42.880 the sixty minutes program. Back when he used to be 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:45.599 the anchor, he was ten to fifteen million dollars a 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:48.439 year is rumored, so he's made a lot of money 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:52.040 in his life, so it could be just a in 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:54.200 his defense, I guess, and I find him an an 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:57.079 annoying human being, even though I'm a big sixty minutes fan. 0:13:58.040 --> 0:13:59.760 It could have been a just you know, I don't 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.000 I'm not changing the way I do things, and if 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:03.880 you think I am, you're wrong. And I got plenty 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:07.200 of money. And he probably thinks other networks are just 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:09.959 looking to grab him as quick as they can because 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:13.360 he thinks the Scott Pelly brand is ratings gold. 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:15.360 I think he's about to find out different on that, 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:17.040 right right. 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:20.200 In his subsequent note to Pelly built and called Pelly's 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:24.640 behavior at Monday's meeting a performative display of hostility, which 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:27.080 I think is a good line. And one of the 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:30.160 I think was Sharon ALFONSI, you also got canned, said 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:35.200 something absolutely hilarious, although it really does demonstrate and you know, 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:39.000 I try to take, you know, not an attack attack, 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:42.120 attacked posture all the time, because I've come to realize 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:46.440 that bubbled people don't know that they're bubbled, and they 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:51.520 have a completely different reality and you can't attack them 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:53.480 out of it. You've got to help them understand how 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:57.320 bubbled they are. But Sharon Alfonsi said something about how 0:14:57.480 --> 0:15:02.040 Barry Weiss is now interject political point of view into 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:02.800 their reporting. 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:06.680 Oh wow, And I thought, good lord, wow, you. 0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:08.640 Are in the middle of the forest and can't see 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:10.080 the trees or something. 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:11.080 It is. 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:16.480 It has been in my lifetime diminishing because all the media, 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:19.560 entire media landscape has been changing rapidly as we all know. 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:22.520 But it has been in my lifetime probably the most 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:26.760 important news outlet in the world. I mean, it has 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:30.840 broken so many stories or been the conversation piece of 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:33.640 so many big stories the next Monday morning for all 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:37.880 of our politics, like my whole adult life. And you know, 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:40.800 they went out of their way to try to ruin it. Unfortunately, 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:42.840 I still thought it was really good. 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:43.440 Often. 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:46.840 Mark Alpern writing, and Mark Alpern has really been in 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:49.360 the news business because his dad was big in government 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:51.240 and he's been in the news business his whole life. 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:55.080 He wrote, it's impossible to overstate the arrogance of those 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.360 who have worked for sixty minutes over the years, even 0:15:57.440 --> 0:15:59.840 as the program's bias and reduced quality have been on 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:03.160 vivid display. He also said there are a lot more 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:05.240 beats to play out on this story, including how the 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:07.480 rest of the program staff decides to play things. 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:11.280 Yeah, everybody, I suppose could rebold right right sure. 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:16.440 A final note on this, Nick Bilton's dismissal letter to 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:22.040 Scott Pelly was remarkably gentlemanly and emphasized again that he says, 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:24.720 I've devoted my career to While I'm new to Sixty Minutes, 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:27.720 I've devoted my career to investigative journalism and storytelling. I 0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:30.400 started this job excited to collaborate and benefit from the 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:32.920 wisdom and experience of the Sixty Minutes veterans, with you 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:35.240 among them. For that reason, one of the first things 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:36.640 I did in my new role was to call you 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:39.320 and invite you to dinner. He got the middle finger 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:43.240 every single time they hold the meeting. Yesterday, you hijacked 0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:46.120 my first meeting with staff to disparage me, my qualifications, 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:50.000 and my intentions with remarkable incivility and contempt. I welcome 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:52.440 a diversity viewpoints and respectful debate among the team, but 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:55.720 this was nothing of the sort. Yesterday's performative display of 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:58.360 hostility and acted in front of the staff instead of 0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:01.360 in a civil private conversation, demonstrating that you have no 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:03.880 interest in contributing to the future success of the show, 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:06.960 et cetera, et cetera. Uh, and then he says, I 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:11.159 therefore write on behalf of CBS News Ink to inform 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:13.680 you that your employment with CBS is terminated for cause, 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:17.120 effective immediately and closed as your formal termination letter. 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:21.080 Why wouldn't Scott Pelly, as the biggest deal at the 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:24.720 biggest news program left in television news, why wouldn't he 0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:27.320 let it play out, like get to a point of 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:32.200 tension on some story where he thinks, no, I think 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:34.920 this should be left in, and Barry Weiss or whoever's 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:36.720 you know under her says, I think it should be 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:40.760 taken out and then maybe make a stand over that 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:44.080 that you could support, perhaps publicly say they didn't want 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:46.520 me to tell you this. Why wouldn't you do that 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:48.919 as opposed to do the whole big time him at 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:51.560 the meaning thing. Well, he says, you're a day. 0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:55.800 The changes are entirely to curry favor with the Trump administration, 0:17:55.880 --> 0:18:00.440 and they're throwing sixty minutes away. Yeah, man, evidence instructed 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:04.040 me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:05.320 Give us some example of that. 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:10.000 Scott Pelly, Well, he considers any perspective to the right 0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:14.040 of Bernie Sanders to be injecting politics. 0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:16.920 I still think it'd be to his benefit to give specifics. 0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:18.280 To Armstrong and Getty. 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:21.240 The New York Knicks are going to the NBA Finals 0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:26.480 for the first time in twenty seven years, and I 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:30.280 think I can speak for the whole city when I 0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:33.240 say it's so gratifying to finally see something go well 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:34.400 for Timothy Shalloman. 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:39.639 Yeah, speaking of Witch, they say this is going to 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:43.560 be the most expensive ticket in New York history. Now, 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:45.920 of course there's always adjusting for inflation, but it might 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:48.639 be just true, flat out. If there's a Game six, 0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:51.600 which would be at home in New York, they expect 0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:55.280 those seats, the Tim Schalloway seats to be a seven 0:18:55.359 --> 0:19:01.399 figures Wait a minute, a million, No, oh, million dollars 0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:04.080 at least for a seat, even if you're even if 0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:08.359 you're Tim shallow May, John Stewart, Chris rock Rich do 0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:11.240 you drop a million dollars for a Game six, sixth 0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:12.040 next seat? 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:13.200 I don't care if. 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:15.720 I'm Elon musk rich Well, and I would. 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:17.840 I've said this many times over the years. I would 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:19.360 love to know how that whole thing works. I don't 0:19:19.359 --> 0:19:21.480 know if they if that's the way that works anyway, 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:25.040 or if the Knick's organization, or the or the network, 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:28.680 or there's all kinds of people that benefit from those 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:34.600 celebrities being there rather than anonymous businessmen who might be 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:36.680 as rich as Timothy shallow May but you've never heard 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:37.000 of them. 0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:39.919 You don't want those guys in the front row. No, No, 0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:41.120 some guy in shipping. 0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:44.200 Yeah, that doesn't make you more money or or make 0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:47.240 it more exciting anyways. Watching some New York media this morning, 0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:50.320 but you know media I was watching this morning because 0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:53.040 it's all practically all New York, uh, and them talking 0:19:53.040 --> 0:19:56.159 about how it's the most sports excitement in that city 0:19:56.240 --> 0:20:00.280 in many decades, partially because he got Yankees, man, you 0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:04.600 got Giants, Jets. There's only one really NBA basketball team 0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:06.760 that anybody pays attention to, and that the city's just 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:10.000 on fire for this whole thing. So it's going to 0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:12.159 be highly annoying. And I just can't wait for Wendy 0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:14.280
