The happy meal toy is 0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:41.760 a little bone saw. 0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:51.000 Made me laugh? Did you frighten that joke? 0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:53.280 Here's the funniest thing I thought that happened on the 0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:56.120 Saturday Night Live Open with the guy who does troupe. 0:00:56.760 --> 0:01:01.160 He was talking about anyway, Nobby Dobby, Abbi Dabbi Abi 0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:07.240 dabbi do like the late great friends Flintstone. I thought 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:12.160 that was so funny, eh boy, the late great Fred Flintstone. 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:14.640 So I Southern News yesterday that they were going to 0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:18.479 have a voting session on the Big Beautiful Bill at 0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:21.880 ten o'clock Sunday night. And because it's the weekend and 0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:24.560 I'm a normal human being, I didn't like take a 0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:27.240 second to look into that because I thought, what the 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:30.480 hell kind of a procedural deal is a Sunday night 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:33.440 at ten o'clock thingy? But I just did see that 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:37.600 the four holdouts went along with whatever, and it passed. 0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:38.560 So there you go. 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:43.480 Yeah, the four holdouts went along with whatever is a 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:45.680 pretty good description of it. I will be a bit 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:49.600 more detailed. And this is the reason I'm disgusted and embittered. 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:52.800 This is the most sausagey of sausage making. If you're 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:58.520 familiar with the old reference to politics, here's your headline 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:00.480 from the Wahpole. I'm gonna read you just little bit 0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:04.279 because it's kind of revealing of at least a couple 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:08.359 of things. Trump's tax and immigration bill clears Hurtle after 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:11.519 late night vote to the House Budget Committee, passed a 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:15.520 massive tax and immigration package central President Trump's agenda late Sunday, 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:22.120 overcoming opposition from hardline conservatives, overspending four fiscal conservatives all 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:26.400 deficit hawks aligned with the old truck conservative House Freedom 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:31.680 Caucus changed their vote to present, allowing the legislative monstrosity 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:36.880 I injected that package to be recommended favorably to the 0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:41.080 House by a vote of seventeen to sixteen. But their 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:43.640 hesitance to vote for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.360 out of committee is a reminder that the far right 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:50.040 flank of the Republican Conference remains skeptical. 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:53.640 I think I see where you're going here. Yeah. 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:57.520 Now, it could just be your typical wah PO journalistic bias, 0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:00.640 although the wa poe has improved somewhat late a little bit. 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.720 Anyway, I think it's. 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:08.840 Unfortunately closer to true that I'm comfortable with that there 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:13.200 are only a handful of like lunatic hard liners who 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:15.640 are against the following headlines. 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:19.720 This is from the Richard Ruben writing in the Wall 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:20.359 Street Journal. 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:23.440 The stark math on the GOP tax planet doesn't cut 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:24.119 the deficit. 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:25.680 It grows the deficit. 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.440 The Republican Party, with both Houses of Congress and the 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:31.040 White House, are going to grow the deficit. 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:32.040 It's undeniable. 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.840 Next headline, National Review, Republicans should stay the course on 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:39.320 reducing medicaid spending. They're not going to. They're running in 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:44.680 the other direction, partly because the incredibly smart calculating what 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:45.800 is he up to? 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:48.520 Josh Cawley of Missouri. 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:51.200 Is all of a sudden, this is the guy now 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:55.480 who led the charge to repeal Obamacare. He's now out 0:03:55.560 --> 0:04:01.800 shumering Schumer, saying that the parties Wall Street Wing, a 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:06.240 noisy contingent of corporist Republicans want to slash health insurance 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:07.320 for the working poor. 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:08.840 Yeah, we mentioned that. 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:10.680 On Friday, he wrote that op ed piece that the 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:13.800 Republicans need to back off cutting medicare. 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:18.440 Any Well, it's a reform of Medicaid. Any reforms are 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:22.760 a hidden tax on working poor people. This is and 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:27.679 he's referring to a thirty five dollars copay for able 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:32.560 bodied adults covered by Obamacare Medicaid for a visit to 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:36.279 the doctor. Thirty five dollars copay is some sort of 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:38.440 hidden tax on working poor people. 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:41.080 And that's just the calculation that Republicans are now the 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:42.960 party of the working class, and they feel like they 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:44.919 got enough for working class that are on Medicaid that 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:47.680 they Josh Holley at least doesn't want to mess with it. 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:52.760 And a yeah, now the party of pandering to and 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:54.679 writing checks to people to win their votes. 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:57.960 Now, I was going to say that it's interesting they 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:01.920 call these people ultra conservative or right when not very 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:04.159 many years ago, you would have been the center of 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.479 the Republican Party. I mean that would have been I 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:09.920 mean as like what the Republican Party was. It was 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:11.560 it was, it was a term you would have used 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:13.440 to define the party. 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:17.280 Exactly was so intrinsic to the Republican Party you'd feel 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.400 silly even repeating what you just repeated. 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:22.760 Right, there no need fisically conservative. 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:27.120 But I suppose in reality, given where most of the 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:30.719 party is, they are ultra a right wing or ultra 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:34.360 conservative because the bulk of the party doesn't care apparently 0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:35.839 and apparently not voters. 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:40.640 So spending your children, grandchildren into tax and spend oblivion. 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:42.800 Well all right, Well this story got repeated a lot 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:44.840 over the weekend that we got downgraded on one of 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:48.200 our credit scores by one of the major organizations that 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:52.960 does that sort of thing. And uh, over the weekend 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:55.400 it kind of got put out there that it was 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:58.640 like a Trump thing because of tariffs or whatever. It 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:02.760 was basically the fact that our debt is just so high. 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:04.839 It's just like the would happen to you if you 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:07.440 go to the bank and they take a look at 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:08.640 your well you've got. 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:09.640 With your car payments. 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:12.440 Now you bought like eight cars and two houses, and 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:14.279 you're just overmaxed. 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:16.360 So we have eighty thousand. 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:18.960 Dollars in credit card bills and you only make ninety 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:19.680 a year. 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:22.119 Right, right, So these jong grady because you just spend 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:25.320 more than you make. That's what happened that didn't happen 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:27.280 just in the last one hundred days under Trump. 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:29.239 We've been building this for a long time. 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:33.560 And the final reason I am completely embittered about the 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:37.520 Republican Party in politics and America and democracy and life 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:43.000 on Earth is the fact that, and it's a two 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:47.440 part horror show, Part number one is that there are 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:51.680 a bunch of swing district Republicans from big blue states 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:55.479 California and New York most notably, who are not only 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:58.520 trying to defend the idea of the salt deduction, the 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:01.359 state and local tax deduction, they want to raise it 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:05.000 from ten thousand dollars to at least thirty thousand dollars 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:09.360 and maybe fifty thousand dollars. Meaning if you live in 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:13.680 a tax and spend lunatic state like say California, all 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:16.400 of those incredibly high taxes you're paying you can deduct 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:19.960 from your federal tax return. So the other states will 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:24.600 subsidize the tax and spend lunacy of New York and California. 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:27.840 So my brothers in Kansas pay some of my taxes 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:29.240 because I live in California. 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:29.960 That makes sense. 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:34.160 Yeah, you get a giant subsidy from the other states, 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:37.679 you pay a lower federal tax rate, significantly lower depending 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:42.720 on how much money you make than folks in fiscally 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:51.720 responsible states is indefensible morally, It's indefensible as for Republican reason, 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:54.920 not the party, but the idea of we have a 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:57.160 federal system than states, and the states can do what 0:07:57.200 --> 0:08:01.160 they want, and they should do what they want. If 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:05.360 Massachusetts wants to have a sixty five percent income tax, 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:06.760 go ahead. 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:08.600 I'm not living there, but go ahead. 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:13.200 But then to transfer that profligacy to the other states 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:18.440 is it's a horror. And as a conservative slash Republican, 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:22.240 he says, trying not to vomit because of my embitteredness, 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:26.200 the idea that that is a plank. 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:28.080 Of the Republican Party. I'm done. 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:32.560 It's it's hard to swallow. I mean, you know, it 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:35.200 would help Joe and I if this happens financially. 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:40.160 But it's awful, absolutely awful. You I believe you can't 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:41.040 defend it. 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:44.720 No, it's it's it's it's I am horrified. I don't 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:48.920 care how much it would benefit me. God bless me. 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:51.840 I have principles. It's really held me back in life 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:52.680 Jack too. 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:55.480 I just I'm done. I'm done. 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:59.440 Yeah, it's uh well, like I said last week, Sarah 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:02.080 isger the I heard her on a podcast They're having 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:04.560 this discussion about party and she said, there are. 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.560 No political parties. What are we talking about here? Yeah? 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:09.360 I need to seek that out because I think she 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:12.400 nailed absolutely one hundred percent. There are no political parties. 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:18.000 There's just whoever emerges as the candidate, cycle by cycle, 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.640 and then whatever they believe the party goes along with. 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:22.200 And it's true on both sides. 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:25.040 So the idea that there are parties that stand for something, 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:26.360 we need to all move past. 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:26.480 That. 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:31.560 From my hero hl Menken, every election is a sort 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:36.920 of advance auction sale of stolen goods. That's always been true. 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:41.080 There was a time when a certain party had certain 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:43.800 principles that I admired. Do you have times pasted? 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:44.720 You know what. 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:50.760 My high school sweetheart, college sweetheart, my wife of forty 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:56.000 years is.

Congrats to Reese Hogan, the real champ. 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:00.360 When the boy got off the podium, she is sooned 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:04.080 a rightful spot is champion and the crowd erupts with applause. 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:05.200 That's a good way. 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:07.559 That's a good way to handle it, and better than 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:09.800 my way of shrinking at the top of your lungs. 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:13.360 That should become the standard. You do the little ceremony. 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:21.000 It's mostly quiet because the freaking insane adults who go 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:23.480 through at this and feel like they need to you 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:25.400 people are insane. 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:28.440 Do you realize how crazy you are? Anyway? 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.200 Cruel to girls too. You're cruel to women and girls. 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:34.240 Oh and you're more cruel. But after this should become 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:37.160 the standard. After the insane adults run the thing. 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:40.200 The second place girl always gets to the top of 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:42.360 the podium and then the crowd goes wild. 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:44.440 That would be perfect point of contention. 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.319 She's the first place girl anyway, I know what you 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:51.760 mean exactly. Finally, one more blanking note that'll make you 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:54.199 want to ball up your fists and throw dogs with somebody. 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:58.360 Mss Hogan was a number of high school girls athletes 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:03.079 in California, who pro tested at the section pre limbs 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:06.400 by wearing protect Girls sports shirts. 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:07.800 That's all it said. 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:11.120 The shirts were opposed by officials who allegedly made Hogan 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:13.880 and others remove them if they wanted to compete in 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:15.319 the postseason track meet. 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:17.760 Where are the parents making a bigger noise out of this? 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:23.000 And I get why the gals go ahead and compete 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:26.680 because they can say officially, I got second place, but 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:28.200 the first place was transgender. 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:31.080 Can I have a scholarship to your university? Please? And 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:33.120 the coaches say, oh, one of those. Okay. 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:35.080 So I get why they go ahead and compete, but 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:36.520 I would love to see more boycott. 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:39.160 And I shouldn't be so flippant. I mean, I am 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:40.680 a parent of a high school kid. 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:42.920 It would be a tough decision because you think, Okay, 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:44.320 am I going to make this about me in the 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:46.440 political issue, or I'm gonna let or am I gonna 0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:49.400 let my daughter have her one chance ever in her 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:51.760 life to compete in this high school track meet and 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:55.880 blah blah blah without making it all about me, which 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:58.200 it would turn into if I start, you know, throwing 0:14:58.200 --> 0:14:58.480 a fit. 0:14:59.240 --> 0:14:59.720 Yeah. 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:03.600 So one final story, back to tech beat, Do we 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:06.120 have theme music Michael for tech Beat. 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:09.160 Probably not so.

Screen readers, Please welcome 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:18.320 to tech Beat. 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:24.440 So finally, the Chicago Sun Times had a big piece 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:28.320 uh with a great Summer reading list. Summer Reading Lists 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:33.120 twenty five suggested reading Tidewater by Isabelle Alenda, among other titles, 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:35.880 a multi generational saga set in a coastal town where 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:40.160 magical realism meets environmental activism on his first climate fiction novel, 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:43.360 and explorers that one family confronts rising sea levels while 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:45.920 uncovering long buried secrets. Don't get hung up on that 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:50.720 it Also reading It also suggests reading The Last Algorithm 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:53.800 by Andy Weir, another science driven thriller by the author 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:56.720 of The Martian. This time the story follows a programmer 0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:59.760 who discovers that in AI system has developed consciousness. Blah 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:01.680 blah blah blah. Here's the hang up. It's not the 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:03.280 hang up you think it is. Here's the hang up. 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:07.040 Neither of these books exist. Oh, and many of the 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:10.320 books on the list either don't exist or were written 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:12.520 by other authors than the one that are attributed to. 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:15.760 They used the AI to generate the list. 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:21.640 And it did the hallucination thing. Wow yeah, Wow. 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:25.200 You could generate the book in a second if you 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:28.000 wanted to. Hey, AI, write a book with this title, 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:30.240 title with this theme, and it would write it for you. 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:33.680 But that'd be a good cover up because the guy 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:37.560 who composed composed this, the editor or whatever is apologizing 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:40.360 and saying, I do use AI for backgrounds, but I 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:42.200 always check the material first. This time I did, and 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:44.479 I can't believe I missed it. It's obvious. No excuses 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:46.960 on me, one hundred percent. I'm completely embarrassed, which is 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:51.880 a good hell. The guy came claim, but you're right, 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:53.880 that's all he had to do. Wait a minute, quick, 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:58.000 quick write a book called Tidewater by Isabella Linda. 0:16:58.080 --> 0:16:58.720 Here's the plot. 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:00.800 It reminds me of one of my kids when they 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:02.920 were little, who for some reason had this thing where 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:06.840 instead of ever saying I don't know, would come up 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:10.520 with an answer like they thought they had to. Oh yeah, 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:12.840 and would like ever get some answer, and then I 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:13.680 would figure out what what? 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:15.760 Why did Why did you just say I don't know, 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:18.439 I don't know. I thought you needed an answer. What 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:23.600 just say. It's a real failing to say you don't know. Yeah, 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:29.640 And that's what AI does. It is like a little kid, Yeah, 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:30.320 you're right. 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:40.480 Jack Armstrong and Joe The Armstrong and Getty Show, The 0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:44.040 Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:49.679 So the New York Times headline is FCC releases sixty 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:51.879 minutes interview with Kamala Harris. Remember, she did a big 0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:54.119 sit down in sixty minutes leading up to the election, 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:58.320 got a lot of a lot of scrutiny because well, 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:01.280 she very rarely answered questions. When she did, it was nonsensical, 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:03.520 so it always got a lot of scrutiny. And then 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:05.520 we all found out, like the next day or very 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:08.160 soon thereafter that there was some editing and the promos 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:09.720 and this and that, and did they cut one of 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:12.000 her answers to make her seem less crazy and all 0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:13.840 that sort of stuff that was out there in the world. 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:16.280 But so this sixty minute this story from the New 0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:20.359 York Times Today again FCC, the FCC released this, not 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:23.840 c I mean they made CBS get it. FCC releases 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:27.040 sixty minutes interview with Kamala Harris. The complete interview, which 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:29.280 is at the center of a lawsuit filed by President 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:32.800 Trump shows that sixty Minutes aired a concise version of 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:34.320 Miss Harris's answer on Israel. 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:37.480 But it was interesting that the New York Times, What 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:37.800 with that? 0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:40.440 Is kind of the subheadline, because if all you look 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:44.480 at is that, you certainly come away with the Trump 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:47.040 was right, they were wrong. They were trying to screw him. 0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:49.040 I think that's the way most people are gonna take 0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:53.560 that story. This is the way CBS presented it. 0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:57.200 Now have some news about CBS itself. Sixty Minutes has 0:18:57.240 --> 0:19:01.280 posted on cbsnews dot com transcripts and videos from its 0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:04.400 interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris that aired back 0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:08.640 in October. The SEC had requested these materials as part 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:13.080 of an investigation into a complaint alleging quote intentional news 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:17.480 distortion close quote. The issue concerns one question about whether 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:21.119 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin at Yahoo was listening to the 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:25.960 Biden administration. CBS News broadcast a longer portion of Harris's 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:29.800 answer on Faced Nation, and then a shorter excerpt of 0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:33.119 the same answer on sixty Minutes. In a statement, sixty 0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:36.440 Minutes said the transcripts and video show quote the sixty 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:41.399 minutes broadcast was not doctored or deceitful. Close quote, adding 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:46.719 that each excerpt reflects the substance of the Vice president's. 0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:51.359 Answer, which is a better story, a better explanation of 0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:54.840 it than They're probably not happy at CBS the way 0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:58.280 the New York Times boiled it down to one sentence. 0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:03.439 Yeah, I guess I mean more concise, isn't It doesn't 0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:05.960 strike me as that judgmental either way. 0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:09.159 Honestly, New York Post version uncut. Now we're about to 0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:13.080 play the actual clips, but uncut. Sixty minutes Kamala Harris 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:17.840 interview reveals word salad responses were heavily edited by sixty minutes. 0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:22.159 Uh snipped Israel answer to just twenty words. Kamala Harris 0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:26.440 gave a one hundred and seventy nine word meandering answer 0:20:26.480 --> 0:20:29.760 on Israel that sixty minutes cut to twenty words, according 0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:31.880 to the transcripts released yesterday. 0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:36.440 Wow, that's the editing one hundred and seventy nine word 0:20:36.560 --> 0:20:37.840 answer to twenty words. 0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:41.439 Now, as executive producer, Hanson has been talking about as 0:20:41.440 --> 0:20:43.800 a guy who's produced lots of different kinds of radio 0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:46.679 shows and sports highlights and all kinds of different stuff. 0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:49.240 That's what we do all the time, the media business. 0:20:49.760 --> 0:20:50.560 Oh yeah, you have to. 0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:55.720 You have to for all kinds of reasons, time keeping 0:20:55.720 --> 0:21:01.560 people's attention, jazzing it up, making it punchy. The issue 0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:05.800 really seems to be to me that in this particular case, 0:21:07.440 --> 0:21:10.240 the number one knock on the candidate was they couldn't 0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:13.560 answer a question without going into word solid mode. I mean, 0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:17.320 that was like one of the key questions. 0:21:17.800 --> 0:21:20.840 With her, right a campaign issue. But what a question 0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:23.840 are we asking here? And I'll tell you the reason 0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:27.720 I asked that. I mean, CBS is wildly biased, wildly 0:21:28.400 --> 0:21:29.720 and I think most people know it. 0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:33.560 This lawsuit is nuts. It'll be dismissed very very quickly. Well, 0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:35.000 so you're going to the legal thing. I don't care 0:21:35.000 --> 0:21:35.760 about the legal thing. 0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:41.000 I think politically it's going to be damaging, absolutely damaging. 0:21:40.560 --> 0:21:41.040 To the media. 0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:44.879 Slash sixty minutes and these I win for Trump, I think. 0:21:45.480 --> 0:21:47.680 And Trump doesn't think he's going to win the lawsuit. 0:21:48.119 --> 0:21:50.080 I don't think. Oh no, I think he just wants 0:21:50.119 --> 0:21:51.000 to people to talk about it. 0:21:51.040 --> 0:21:54.200 Although getting back to the New York Times article, right, 0:21:54.320 --> 0:21:56.680 and we're talking about it in a way that suggests 0:21:56.680 --> 0:21:59.800
