WEBVTT - CBS Lets Trump Off The Hook In Latest Interview

0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:04.480
<v Speaker 1>It is Monday, November third. This is the morning.

0:00:05.640 --> 0:00:08.239
<v Speaker 2>One of the features of our age, and one of

0:00:08.280 --> 0:00:11.360
<v Speaker 2>the reasons Donald Trump has been able to become president,

0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:14.760
<v Speaker 2>is because of the collapse of trust between the American

0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:18.840
<v Speaker 2>people in nearly every institution you could think to name.

0:00:19.120 --> 0:00:23.520
<v Speaker 2>Trump took advantage of that collapse. He was able to

0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:27.800
<v Speaker 2>put the lie into battle against the truth in an

0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:32.120
<v Speaker 2>era where people just can't tell the difference between the

0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:36.919
<v Speaker 2>two out of a combination of laziness and difference and

0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:42.640
<v Speaker 2>the incompetence, the malice, and the deep corruption of America's

0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:46.400
<v Speaker 2>corporate news media. This is Larry Allison. He is a

0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:49.800
<v Speaker 2>man who's given tens and tens of millions of dollars

0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:53.440
<v Speaker 2>to Donald Trump. Like all of the tech oligarchs, he

0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:57.880
<v Speaker 2>is all in. He is an American fascist. His son

0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:01.280
<v Speaker 2>has never worked a day in his life. He's never

0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:05.759
<v Speaker 2>had a bad ten minutes. He has no accomplishments, he

0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:10.039
<v Speaker 2>has no skills. But in Trump's America, he has the

0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:14.680
<v Speaker 2>one thing that you really need, an oligarch father. And

0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:20.039
<v Speaker 2>so thus the unaccomplished David, a teenage stunt pilot, now

0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:25.200
<v Speaker 2>runs CBS News. He runs Paramount, where he makes movies

0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:29.480
<v Speaker 2>with Tom Cruise, and he aspires to take control totally

0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:33.960
<v Speaker 2>of CNN. His business model is simple. It has a

0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:38.800
<v Speaker 2>fascist flavor. If he pleases the leader, he knows he

0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:42.240
<v Speaker 2>can be a duke. He can do as he pleases.

0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:46.680
<v Speaker 2>And so David Allison has sought to please Trump by

0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:51.640
<v Speaker 2>taking command of the news that he watches and soft

0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 2>soaping to the American people what's going on.

0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:57.400
<v Speaker 1>Nora O'Donnell, for many, many.

0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:01.280
<v Speaker 2>Years, was a person who was respected and consider to

0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:03.120
<v Speaker 2>be a real journalist.

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:03.840
<v Speaker 1>She's not.

0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:07.760
<v Speaker 2>What she is is a model. She looks good and

0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:11.120
<v Speaker 2>therefore she got to read the news to you. But

0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:15.000
<v Speaker 2>when it came time to test her character, there was

0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:19.560
<v Speaker 2>nothing inside. Nora O'Donnell is as she appears to be

0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:25.240
<v Speaker 2>a holographic projection, empty, vapid. But she was able to

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 2>get praised by Donald Trump, which is the only credential

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:32.720
<v Speaker 2>you need these days to be considered the next Walter

0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:37.680
<v Speaker 2>Cronkite Ormorrow, at least at CBS. Let's watch the praise.

0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:39.960
<v Speaker 2>It gives you a flavor of the interview.

0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:41.480
<v Speaker 3>And you know that too normal.

0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:42.239
<v Speaker 4>I want to ask you about it.

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:43.359
<v Speaker 1>You live here, you know that too.

0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:47.440
<v Speaker 4>I want to ask you about American city difference in Washington,

0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:49.880
<v Speaker 4>d C. I think I've been working too hard. I

0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:50.880
<v Speaker 4>haven't been out and about it.

0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:51.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a fair answer.

0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:55.359
<v Speaker 4>You see, I get in my car and I don't have.

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:55.919
<v Speaker 1>To use that one.

0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:57.119
<v Speaker 3>Don't worry. Don't worry.

0:02:57.120 --> 0:02:58.360
<v Speaker 4>I don't I've been working.

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.280
<v Speaker 3>It's like, you know, the difference, like day and night.

0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:05.840
<v Speaker 2>There were no follow up questions, There was no challenge

0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:11.280
<v Speaker 2>Trump's viewed nonsense. Norah O'Donnell backed up the corrupt crypto kingpin.

0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 1>You guessed it, never heard of them.

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 4>This year, the president has pardoned or shortened the sentences

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:21.360
<v Speaker 4>of more than sixteen hundred people. The latest pardon was

0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:26.320
<v Speaker 4>for a cryptocurrency tycoon who was known as CZ. The

0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:30.600
<v Speaker 4>company CZ founded, Binance, helped boost the profile of the

0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:35.760
<v Speaker 4>Trump family's crypto firm, World Liberty Financial. He pled guilty

0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:39.320
<v Speaker 4>in twenty twenty three to violating anti money laundering laws.

0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:42.200
<v Speaker 4>The government at the time said that CZ had caused

0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:47.000
<v Speaker 4>significant harm to US national security, essentially by allowing terrorist

0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:50.680
<v Speaker 4>groups like Hamas to move millions of dollars around. Why

0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:51.560
<v Speaker 4>did you pardon him?

0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:53.360
<v Speaker 3>Okay? Are you ready? I don't know who he is.

0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:56.320
<v Speaker 3>I know he got a four month sentence or something

0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:59.040
<v Speaker 3>like that, And I heard it was a Biden witch hunt.

0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:03.760
<v Speaker 2>No questions to penetrate to the core of the issue.

0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:07.240
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, where was the disclosure that Ice

0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:09.960
<v Speaker 2>rated Nora O'Donnell's husband's restaurant.

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:11.240
<v Speaker 1>That wasn't relevant.

0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:15.600
<v Speaker 2>CBS didn't have an ethical obligation to disclose out. Where

0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:20.000
<v Speaker 2>were the penetrating questions about what Trump believes? Were the

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:23.280
<v Speaker 2>questions even written by sixty minute staff or were they

0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:27.520
<v Speaker 2>handed to sixty minute staff by Barry Weiss? The interview,

0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:31.000
<v Speaker 2>if you could call it, that, enlighten the American people

0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:36.440
<v Speaker 2>about nothing, well beyond the corruption of the corporate news media.

0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 2>It is hard if you just watched television to know

0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:44.320
<v Speaker 2>what's happening in America. In fact, if you just watched CBS,

0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:49.320
<v Speaker 2>it's impossible. This is what corporate propaganda looks like.

0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:51.480
<v Speaker 4>So why was this war?

0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:55.360
<v Speaker 3>But Nora, that was Joe Biden's war, not my war.

0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:57.159
<v Speaker 3>I inherited that stupid.

0:04:56.720 --> 0:05:01.159
<v Speaker 4>Wood as the bloodiest land war in since World War

0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:02.320
<v Speaker 4>II continues.

0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 3>But I brought, I mean, just a little list of

0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:07.080
<v Speaker 3>look at this wars.

0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:10.240
<v Speaker 4>President Trump wanted to make sure we saw the list

0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:13.479
<v Speaker 4>of eight international conflicts. He says, he's been able to

0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:17.000
<v Speaker 4>end since returning to office, and you have branded yourself

0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:18.120
<v Speaker 4>the peace President.

0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:20.680
<v Speaker 3>Well, I think I did pretty good. I solved Those

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:22.679
<v Speaker 3>are eight of the nine wars I solved.

0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:23.960
<v Speaker 1>I know how I solved him.

0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:28.039
<v Speaker 3>I said in many cases, in sixty percent, I said,

0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:30.440
<v Speaker 3>if you don't stop fighting, I'm putting tariffs on both

0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:32.040
<v Speaker 3>of your countries and you're not going to be able

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:33.320
<v Speaker 3>to do business.

0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:35.720
<v Speaker 4>Why isn't that working with Putin? Uh?

0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:38.480
<v Speaker 3>It is working with Putin, I think.

0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:44.359
<v Speaker 2>And David Allison appreciates. So long as he allows this drivel,

0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:49.600
<v Speaker 2>this nonsense, to spew out, he will be unimpeded when

0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:54.080
<v Speaker 2>it comes time to use Daddy's billions to merge media

0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:59.560
<v Speaker 2>companies one after another. The people who run CBS to

0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:03.719
<v Speaker 2>corrupt people, the Sherry Redstone who sold it to David Ellison.

0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:06.960
<v Speaker 2>All of these people have made a choice. And now

0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:12.600
<v Speaker 2>Norah O'Donnell has made her choice. She is another media superstar.

0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:18.000
<v Speaker 2>On her knees. She has submitted. She is compliant whatever

0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:22.240
<v Speaker 2>it is that she is American journalist, well, at least

0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:24.360
<v Speaker 2>in the sense of the way they used to make them.

0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:27.320
<v Speaker 2>Is the one thing she is not. Here's how to

0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:31.279
<v Speaker 2>think about this. After the American people witnessed one of

0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:34.719
<v Speaker 2>the greatest World Series in the history of the sport,

0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:39.120
<v Speaker 2>the one thing that every person knows who watched that

0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:42.919
<v Speaker 2>baseball game is the Toronto Blue Jays and the Los

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:47.720
<v Speaker 2>Angeles Dodgers. They left nothing on the field. They gave

0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:52.479
<v Speaker 2>one hundred percent for their fans, for the people that

0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:59.040
<v Speaker 2>paid for the tickets. Millions watched, maximum effort, maximum assertion

0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:04.080
<v Speaker 2>of heart, of effort. What Nora o'donald did is laid down.

0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:08.040
<v Speaker 2>She threw the game. She didn't try, She didn't stand

0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 2>up for the ordinary person who's trying to figure out

0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:14.800
<v Speaker 2>what's going on. What Nora o'donald did was served the

0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:17.920
<v Speaker 2>interests of power and call it journalism.

0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.880
<v Speaker 1>What Nora o'donald did was.

0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:24.600
<v Speaker 2>Cash the check written for her by the corrupt Barry Weis.

0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:29.080
<v Speaker 2>What no o'donald did is pull out a gun, cock

0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:33.680
<v Speaker 2>it and shoot sixty minutes in the head bang she

0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:38.000
<v Speaker 2>killed it. Sixty minutes is a venerable show until the

0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:41.920
<v Speaker 2>second it wasn't. And what it became last night is

0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:46.280
<v Speaker 2>the new show that's Fox Lay. It comes on after football.

0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:50.680
<v Speaker 2>Just another thing that was worthy killed by an American

0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:56.680
<v Speaker 2>billionaire with no talent, no ethics, no credibility, no character,

0:07:57.200 --> 0:08:01.720
<v Speaker 2>no vision, just a talent for deep and daddy's money

0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:07.160
<v Speaker 2>growing high in its pile. God bless America and Wow,

0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:11.760
<v Speaker 2>thank you CBS News, the home of Edward R.

0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:12.239

<v Speaker 2>that counts, right, So today, let's conclude with words of

0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:31.360
