Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Getty and he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 3: They don't necessarily fear in Israeli strike that many belief
Speaker 3: could still happen. What they do fears that all this
Speaker 3: could continue to balloon into some sort of wider crisis
Speaker 3: or armed conflict here in the Middle East that could
Speaker 3: in the end pit Iran directly against the United States.
Speaker 3: And one of the things that we've actually been able
Speaker 3: to do is we've actually been able to travel through
Speaker 3: a substantial part of the northern part of the country.
Speaker 3: When you go into the cities there, you do see
Speaker 3: a lot of billboards and posters hanging around professing loyalty
Speaker 3: to Hezbolah. One of the big things that you see
Speaker 3: there is flag saying his Bola is alive, obviously playing
Speaker 3: on the fact that so many of the Hisbolah leaders
Speaker 3: have been killed.
Speaker 4: That's interesting. That was from CNNA lead yesterday. Iran not
Speaker 4: so worried about an Israel strike, They're worried about war
Speaker 4: with the United States. Well, good, that's what deterrence is.
Speaker 4: And there hasn't been enough.
Speaker 2: Goal, don't escalate.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there hasn't been enough people worried about us escalating.
Speaker 4: So it sounds like maybe Iran is Benjamin Nett and
Speaker 4: Yahoo with a message to the people of Lebanon. Yesterday,
Speaker 4: any who in Bremmer tweeted out a dramatic shift in
Speaker 4: war goals from the Israeli Prime Minister. It went from
Speaker 4: pushing back Hesbela from the border and returning the Israelis
Speaker 4: to their homes. Sixty thousand Israelis that have had to
Speaker 4: leave their homes and have been away for a year.
Speaker 2: That's crazy, can you imagine.
Speaker 4: No, the goal is now removing Hesbla from power, the
Speaker 4: most serious escalation from Israel since the war in Gaza began.
Speaker 4: This is the biggest escalation announced escalation since the whole
Speaker 4: thing began. Our goal is now to eliminate Hesbela.
Speaker 1: So you have to keep in mind they're a political
Speaker 1: party with an army, which is crazy by American standards, certainly,
Speaker 1: but Hesbela is enormously influential in Lebanese politics.
Speaker 4: So going through some of the information that came out yesterday,
Speaker 4: Iran warned a whole bunch of golf country countries that
Speaker 4: any use of their airspace by Israel or the United
Speaker 4: States against Iran, they will face retaliation.
Speaker 2: Okay, fine, they're either scared or they're not.
Speaker 4: The US State Department said yesterday that they support Israeli
Speaker 4: ground operations in southern Lebanon and do not support any
Speaker 4: kind of ceasefire between Israel and Hesbela, with statements earlier
Speaker 4: by Hisbel officials calling for a ceasefire. So I thought
Speaker 4: that was interesting. Hesbola came out yesterday if you weren't
Speaker 4: paying attention and said, okay, we want to cease fire now,
Speaker 4: and our State Department actually said nat no ceasefires.
Speaker 2: I was surprised by that. It's a head spinnerbout this.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you know good.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you know Amos Yadlin, former major
Speaker 4: general in the Israeli Air Force as well as the
Speaker 4: former head of the Israeli military intelligence. So like that,
Speaker 4: you know they're d And I set on CNN yesterday
Speaker 4: the Israeli attack on Iran will be something that has
Speaker 4: never been seen since seen in the Middle East. Okay,
Speaker 4: so that sounds big. This also from os I in
Speaker 4: t that's open source intelligence According to US officials, the
Speaker 4: United States has discussed options for joining Israel's retaliation against Iran,
Speaker 4: including very limited strikes against targets inside of Iran, targets
Speaker 4: against Iranian naval assets, as well as targeting of the
Speaker 4: Revolutionary Guard core sites in Syria and Yemen. These though
Speaker 4: these are seen as less likely as a just intelligence sharing,
Speaker 4: Like we would help them with the important intelligence you
Speaker 4: would need to pull that Off's opposed to like actual
Speaker 4: US planes or anything like that. But we're going to
Speaker 4: help them out, but not with well, I'll read this.
Speaker 4: According to two US officials who spoke to NBC, Israel
Speaker 4: is still not yet brief the United States on their
Speaker 4: response to the ballistic missile attack, Despite officials telling Israel
Speaker 4: that they would possibly support them with intelligence and additional strikes,
Speaker 4: US officials do not believe that Israel has made the
Speaker 4: final decision. So the big New York Times story yesterday
Speaker 4: that we referenced but I hadn't read yet, which has
Speaker 4: got like ten different writers on it, including David Sanger,
Speaker 4: who is probably the best writer on this sort of stuff,
Speaker 4: says that Israel doesn't have the capability to take out
Speaker 4: those nuclear sites. The United States does. Israel doesn't. So
Speaker 4: that's why France and Great Britain made the announcement yesterday
Speaker 4: they will not aid the United States in any trying
Speaker 4: to or Israel in any trying to take out those sites.
Speaker 4: So it's basically telling the United States, you do this,
Speaker 4: you're completely on your own. We realize if this happens,
Speaker 4: it's going to be you United States, not Israel, and
Speaker 4: we're not.
Speaker 2: Okay with it. That's basically what that announcement was.
Speaker 1: Yeh, or even we want the world to know it
Speaker 1: wasn't us could be yeah, because they have, you know,
Speaker 1: similar capabilities, maybe not as good, but similar.
Speaker 4: While much of the public discussion is focused on the
Speaker 4: fact that Iran could almost certainly ramp up enrichment to
Speaker 4: produce bomb grade uranium in a matter of weeks, the
Speaker 4: more relevant fact is that it would take Iranian engineers
Speaker 4: months or maybe a year to actually fashion that fuel
Speaker 4: into a deliverable weapon.
Speaker 2: I thought that was good to know.
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, Iran has stepped up production of Iranian and rich
Speaker 4: to sixty percent purity, just shy of bomb grade, and
Speaker 4: it now has enough of that fuel for three or
Speaker 4: four bombs, experts believe, and getting it to bomb grade
Speaker 4: at ninety percent would just take days. So I guess
Speaker 4: getting the uranium the bomb grade is something that they
Speaker 4: can do in a couple of days. Actually fashioning it
Speaker 4: into a weapon they could deliver anywhere is months or
Speaker 4: a year.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was reading about the the mechanics of the
Speaker 1: triggering mechanism for nuclear arms, and it's much more complicated
Speaker 1: than I'd imagined. It's very, very sophisticated.
Speaker 4: Technically, We're the only ones that have these thirty thousand
Speaker 4: pound bombs that are necessary to reach these Iranian facilities
Speaker 4: that are way underground. Israel doesn't have that we do,
Speaker 4: and the planes necessary to actually drop them. But I
Speaker 4: thought this was interesting if you, just like me, have
Speaker 4: a tendency to call Joe Biden a do nothing chicken.
Speaker 2: President George W.
Speaker 4: Bush turned aside Israel's demands to give its air force
Speaker 4: the United States biggest bunker busting bombs and the B
Speaker 4: two bombers that are needed to deliver them. Those weapons
Speaker 4: would be essential in any effort to take out four
Speaker 4: Toho and some of the other facilities. Bush said no.
Speaker 4: That decision touched off an argument inside the White House.
Speaker 2: Back in the day.
Speaker 4: Vice President Dick Cheney embraced the idea of a strike
Speaker 4: no shock, but Bush held fast, arguing that the United
Speaker 4: States could not risk another war in the Middle East,
Speaker 4: probably thinking this whole Iraq thing has gone, so well,
Speaker 4: how about let's not fight Iraq and Iran at the
Speaker 4: same time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was just going to say that the circumstances
Speaker 1: were very different, but there you go.
Speaker 4: Ahud Barak, who was Prime minister and Israel's highest ranking
Speaker 4: uniformed officer at one point, gave an interview back in
Speaker 4: twenty nineteen that said Bush's warning did not really make
Speaker 4: any difference for US as of the end of two
Speaker 4: thousand and eight. He said Israel did not have a
Speaker 4: plan for attacking Iran. They didn't have the capability, but
Speaker 4: so Bush turned down giving them the stuff to do it.
Speaker 4: So it's not the first time we've said, nah, we're
Speaker 4: not all in on taking out those facilities.
Speaker 2: I'm not exactly sure why. Oh, and then I wanted
Speaker 2: to play this.
Speaker 4: So this is oppositeosition to what's the prime minister up
Speaker 4: in Canada, the pretty boy what's his name?
Speaker 2: Trudeau?
Speaker 4: So yeah, justin Trudeau. This is the opposition to Trudeau.
Speaker 4: He was asked if.
Speaker 2: He garf model Justin Trudeau.
Speaker 4: This guy was asked if he would support a strike
Speaker 4: on Iran's nuclear bomb facilities and if Israel were.
Speaker 5: To stop that genocidal, theocratic, unstable government from acquiring nuclear weapons,
Speaker 5: it would be a gift by the Jewish state to humanity.
Speaker 4: That's a pretty tough talk out of a Canadian, but
Speaker 4: I would agree. You've got that that great pier pula Vera.
Speaker 4: Is that how you pronounce his name? The opposition guy?
Speaker 2: He kicks ass? I love him.
Speaker 4: You got one of the worst regimes on planet Earth
Speaker 4: screaming toward a nuclear weapon. This is the best time
Speaker 4: there's ever going to be with more world support than
Speaker 4: there ever will ever be to try to take it out.
Speaker 4: And I can't believe we're not taking this moment. This
Speaker 4: is a major world decision.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: This is the opposite of the whole when's the best
Speaker 1: time to plant an oak tree forty years ago?
Speaker 2: When's the second best time today?
Speaker 1: When's the best time to cut down an oak tree
Speaker 1: forty years ago? What's the second best time before it
Speaker 1: falls on your house today?
Speaker 2: So yeah, I get that. This is a major decision. Though.
Speaker 4: If Iran ends up having the bomb a year from now,
Speaker 4: and then they use it in some horrifying way that
Speaker 4: could touch off who knows what on the planet. It
Speaker 4: will be remembered that there was a chance.
Speaker 2: To stop it.
Speaker 1: But because remember, they don't need a sophisticated missile and
Speaker 1: triggering mechanism to deliver it.
Speaker 2: They could deliver it on a boat. Right. I only
Speaker 2: know what I know.
Speaker 4: I don't know all the stuff that they know in
Speaker 4: the intelligence department about Iran's capabilities or other hotspots in
Speaker 4: the world, or whatever else is going on. One thing,
Speaker 4: from reading David Sanger's book, there are so many things
Speaker 4: you don't know while these stories are unfolding. Like one
Speaker 4: thing I came across the other day because I'm almost
Speaker 4: done with the book. Remember when Biden went to Kiev.
Speaker 4: He actually went to Kiev and walked through the streets
Speaker 4: with Zelensky in quite a show of support. We called
Speaker 4: Blinkeln called Putin and said Biden's coming to Kiev, heads up,
Speaker 4: and Putin said, got it.
Speaker 2: We actually told him ahead of time, with you better not.
Speaker 4: And I guess it was trusting that Putin would realize
Speaker 4: that's a no go. Oh yeah, clearly I thought that
Speaker 4: was very interesting because there was all this secrecy and
Speaker 4: lead up on all the reporting around it was they
Speaker 4: put him on a train in the middle of the
Speaker 4: night and snuck him into all this stuff. True because
Speaker 4: you never know about rogue bad guys. But the biggest
Speaker 4: threat of would Russia tried to take him out. No,
Speaker 4: we told him head up, heads up, ahead of time. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I'd stay away from Kiev. Biden's going to be there.
Speaker 4: So that's interesting that we have that. We don't think
Speaker 4: he's a complete mad man obviously.
Speaker 1: Oh right, yeah, yeah, that makes perfect sense to me.
Speaker 1: It's the same reason we have a phone line to
Speaker 1: you know, Russian or Chinese general is to say, hey,
Speaker 1: we're going to do some maneuvers.
Speaker 2: It is strictly training maneuvers. Nobody freak out.
Speaker 4: But my point avoid the horrific mistake. My point making
Speaker 4: there's always stuff going on that you don't know about
Speaker 4: at the time. But I gotta believe if I was
Speaker 4: president of the United States, I'd be all about attacking
Speaker 4: rand taking out those nuclear facilities while we got the chance.
Speaker 4: And the world can moan and bitch about it all
Speaker 4: they want, they'll forget about it in a month. But
Speaker 4: Irani get no damn bomb, you're neo khon.
Speaker 2: I just thought i'd throw that out there.
Speaker 1: Two very quick headlines, US frustrated by Israel's reluctance to
Speaker 1: share Iran retaliation plans. I'm not surprised they're not sharing
Speaker 1: it because Biden can't be counted on. And then this
Speaker 1: one report Biden offering Israel compensation to not hit Iranian targets, arms, money,
Speaker 1: and diplomatic guarantees. If you just hold back, We'll really
Speaker 1: take care of you.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: Interesting CBS News torn asunder by actually doing journalism.
Speaker 4: This is delicious, really enjoying it. Got more on that
Speaker 4: to come. I'm just gonna say, I remember back in
Speaker 4: the day. It's the advantage of being old. I guess
Speaker 4: I remember Bill Clinton. North Korea will not be allowed
Speaker 4: to get a nuclear weapon. Been through those a couple
Speaker 4: of times in my lifetime, and then they do. And
Speaker 4: that's what president after president has been saying about Iran.
Speaker 4: We've got more on the waist to hear merk Adams
Speaker 4: announce he's running for reelection. Awesome, Eh, go get America
Speaker 4: more on that way.
Speaker 2: You know what we haven't gotten to is that.
Speaker 1: Awfulness of the Chicago School System and the Teachers' Union
Speaker 1: and Brandon Johnson. It's one of the most egregious things
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. It's shocking, anyway. Speaking of shocking, CBS
Speaker 1: News torn asunder by the fact that some of their
Speaker 1: journalists actually did journalism and their woke staffers have freaked
Speaker 1: out over it. The behind the scenes tape is just
Speaker 1: too good to be true. We'll play that for you
Speaker 1: next segment. But the irony of it is that the
Speaker 1: self righteous lefties are saying that interview showed bias. We
Speaker 1: can't have bias at CBS News, which is just truly
Speaker 1: hilarious anyway. For example, you have the Bill Whitaker Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris interview on sixty Minutes, and we played Monday before
Speaker 1: it aired some of the preview, the excerpts that had
Speaker 1: aired Unface the Nation on Sunday, and her long rambling
Speaker 1: answer about whether Netnyao, who was listening to us or
Speaker 1: not clipped forty Michael.
Speaker 2: This is from the preview, remember, but it seems that
Speaker 2: Prime Minister Netanya who is not listening.
Speaker 6: Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted
Speaker 6: in a number of movements in that region by Israel
Speaker 6: that were very much prompted by or a result of
Speaker 6: many things in including our advocacy for what needs to
Speaker 6: happen in the region.
Speaker 1: Great Scott diagram that sentence if you dare anyway. So
Speaker 1: that's the preview. Then by the time it actually aired,
Speaker 1: because nobody watches the damn Sunday shows, but poor Jack
Speaker 1: I do. I refuse, although they are occasionally interesting. So
Speaker 1: when it actually aired sixty minutes Monday night, this is
Speaker 1: what it sounded like.
Speaker 2: But it seems that Prime Minister Netanya who is not listening,
Speaker 2: We're not.
Speaker 6: Going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United
Speaker 6: States to be clear about where we stand on the
Speaker 6: need for this war to end.
Speaker 4: Well, so let me get this straight. So the cleaned
Speaker 4: up version is what aired on sixty minutes.
Speaker 2: That's correct, the shorter, coherent version.
Speaker 4: See, I don't like it either way, but you edited
Speaker 4: it that way for the promo piece on Facinination.
Speaker 2: Okay, I get it.
Speaker 4: You're promoing your big show where the like a million
Speaker 4: people watch face the nation, tens of millions of people
Speaker 4: probably watched sixty minutes. I haven't seen the numbers yet,
Speaker 4: so I could see, you know, the little teaser, but
Speaker 4: you edited it to make her sound better for the
Speaker 4: big show. Yes, that ain't so cool at all.
Speaker 1: I wonder if they got some sort of pushback from
Speaker 1: the Face the Nation preview. Somebody freaked out, whether it
Speaker 1: was internally or from the Harris campaign or something, and
Speaker 1: they removed They took.
Speaker 4: The world the word salad out. And I would like
Speaker 4: to know if Bill Whitaker had any knowledge of that.
Speaker 2: He might not have.
Speaker 4: He may have, he may have been in charge of it,
Speaker 4: or he might have had zero knowledge. I don't know,
Speaker 4: but that'd be a good question.
Speaker 2: When the and this is not a trivial question.
Speaker 1: I don't think the big knock against Kamala Harris, right,
Speaker 1: is that she's got an empty head, right, Yes, that
Speaker 1: is her I think is that bit she is a
Speaker 1: underpaint in Jacksworth.
Speaker 4: The biggest knock is she will not do confrontational interviews
Speaker 4: because she can't handle it. If you edited it in
Speaker 4: such a way to make it look like she can
Speaker 4: handle it better, that's really really.
Speaker 1: Bad, right, Right, And again, this is the same CBS
Speaker 1: you're about to hear, who are aghast that there could
Speaker 1: be any bias when somebody makes a conservative point. The
Speaker 1: Tiffany Network, Tiffany the pop singer from the eighties. Man
Speaker 1: even with the editing, she like super whift on several questions.
Speaker 2: So huh oh, yeah, well she's incompetent.
Speaker 4: Is she going to get elected president without doing a
Speaker 4: single press conference like where she stands there and takes
Speaker 4: question after question after question like Trump has done multiple times?
Speaker 2: She will attempt to do that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Whether the American people choose to grant her that high
Speaker 1: office or not as yet to be decided. There are
Speaker 1: times I can't believe what I'm seeing.
Speaker 2: I know it.
Speaker 4: It doesn't seem like it's real. It does seem like
Speaker 4: it's a TV show and not real.
Speaker 1: And done a good one either entertaining but utterly unrealistic. Anyway,
Speaker 1: the CBS behind the scenes audio, Oh I can't wait.
Speaker 2: Stay with us, Armstrong and Geddy.
Speaker 4: We will get to it again. Kamala did a couple
Speaker 4: of interviews yesterday. She did the view she did Colbert,
Speaker 4: She's doing Stern today. I think anyway, a couple of
Speaker 4: answers that are quite amazing. We'll get to that maybe
Speaker 4: hour four.
Speaker 2: She is a.
Speaker 1: Gibbering idiot in short. Anyway, I'll tell you who's not
Speaker 1: a gibbering idiot Tony Decopple of CBS News, nor is
Speaker 1: Tanaheazy Coats, the widely worshiped anti racism author, saint of
Speaker 1: the left. Unquestionably incredibly bright and creative guy. He's just
Speaker 1: wrong about a lot of things in my mind. So
Speaker 1: he's got a new book out and he went on
Speaker 1: CBS this morning to promote it. And instead of the
Speaker 1: soft ballish interview that I think everybody, including some of
Speaker 1: the staff expected, Tony Dcoppel, who's one of their folks
Speaker 1: generalist staffers, asked him some really challenging questions about the
Speaker 1: book and particularly how it is starkly, staunchly anti Israel.
Speaker 1: And to skip to the next part. This is so
Speaker 1: torn apart CBS News that there are teeth gnashing, tear stained, yelling,
Speaker 1: arguments going on behind the scenes, meetings, soul searching, the
Speaker 1: rest of it. Because Jacoppel was so out of line,
Speaker 1: it was so abandoning.
Speaker 2: CBS is principe it was biased.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine CBS being biased anyway, here's a chunk
Speaker 1: of that interview.
Speaker 2: Judge for yourself.
Speaker 7: Tanajaja, I want to dive into the Israel Palace one
Speaker 7: section of the books, section of the book, And I
Speaker 7: have to say, when I read the book, I imagine if
Speaker 7: I took your name out of it, took away the
Speaker 7: awards and the acclaim, took the cover off the book,
Speaker 7: the publishing.
Speaker 2: House goes away.
Speaker 7: The content of that section would not be out of place.
Speaker 2: In the backpack of an extremist.
Speaker 7: And so then I found myself wondering, why do is
Speaker 7: Tanahashi Coates, who I've known for a long time, read
Speaker 7: his work for a long time, very talented, smart guy,
Speaker 7: leave out so much? Why leave out that Israel is
Speaker 7: surrounded by countries that.
Speaker 2: Want to eliminate it. Why leave out that.
Speaker 7: Israel deals with terror groups that want to eliminate it?
Speaker 7: Why not detail anything of the first and the second Intifat,
Speaker 7: of the cafe bombings, the bus bombings, the little kids
Speaker 7: blown to bits? And is it because you just don't
Speaker 7: believe that Israel in any condition has a right to exist?
Speaker 8: Well, I would say the perspective that you just outlined,
Speaker 8: there is no shortage of that perspective in American media.
Speaker 2: That's the first thing I would say.
Speaker 8: I am most concerned always with those who don't have
Speaker 8: a voice with those who don't have.
Speaker 2: The ability to talk.
Speaker 8: I have asked repeatedly in my interviews whether there is
Speaker 8: a single network, mainstream organization in America with a Palestinian
Speaker 8: American bureau chief or correspondent who actually has a voice
Speaker 8: to articulate their part of the world. I've been a
Speaker 8: reporter for twenty years. The reporters of those who believe
Speaker 8: more sympathetically about Israel and it's right to exist don't
Speaker 8: have a problem getting their voice out. But what I
Speaker 8: saw in Palestine, what I saw on the West Bank,
Speaker 8: what I saw in Haifa in Israel, what I saw
Speaker 8: in the South Hebln Hills, those were the stories that
Speaker 8: I have not heard, and those were the stories that
Speaker 8: I was most occupied with. I wrote a two hundred
Speaker 8: and sixty page book. It is not a treatise on
Speaker 8: the entirety of the conflict between the Palestinians and the Israelis.
Speaker 1: That was a frank exchange of views in an intelligent
Speaker 1: and gentlemanly way. The idea that that would Royal CBS
Speaker 1: News is hilarious.
Speaker 4: There was a Tierry staff meeting, is what it was
Speaker 4: described at in New York Post. Tierry staff meeting people
Speaker 4: nearly crying, as Tony Dekoppel told staffers he regretted putting
Speaker 4: them in a difficult situation.
Speaker 2: Hmm, that's an interesting way to phrase it.
Speaker 1: So we have through means that would make Dick Cheney blush,
Speaker 1: obtained the behind the scenes meeting audio. We have violated
Speaker 1: the laws of God and man adio.
Speaker 2: Oh he needs a car battery and in a pan of water.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, you can. Let's just leave it there. One
Speaker 1: of the voices you're going to hear here is that
Speaker 1: of what is her first name? I thought I had
Speaker 1: that all in front of me. It doesn't matter. Miss
Speaker 1: Rourke is a high up executive in CBS News. And
Speaker 1: let's just start with one hundred Michael, and we'll go
Speaker 1: from there. And I want to I.
Speaker 9: Want to take time to remind us all of something.
Speaker 9: When we step into a new room and we pick
Speaker 9: up a microphone or a cammon, when we sit down
Speaker 9: for an interview, produce a story report from the scene,
Speaker 9: or anchor show, we need to remember that we are
Speaker 9: journalists and as hard as this is, that means we
Speaker 9: set our personal feelings and beliefs aside. Our job is
Speaker 9: to serve our audiences. Without bias or perceived bias, to
Speaker 9: provide objective news that they that we know and they
Speaker 9: know they can trust.
Speaker 1: Okay, wow, well you've failed miserably at that for thirty
Speaker 1: years or so. I appreciate hearing the words, But why
Speaker 1: now I think I think I've learned.
Speaker 4: I thought I knew everything there was to know about
Speaker 4: bias and news and that sort of stuff. But I
Speaker 4: think I've learned in the last month or so, with
Speaker 4: the debates and everything, bias is ways more powerful.
Speaker 2: Than I realized.
Speaker 4: And when you have bias yourself, and then I want
Speaker 4: to look at it myself. These people actually believe they're
Speaker 4: being fair to both sides. So I got to believe
Speaker 4: that Nora O'Donnell and what's her name, Margaret Brennan the
Speaker 4: debate the other night, they actually believe they handled that fairly,
Speaker 4: and not that you fact checked one side.
Speaker 2: And let the other side say whatever they want. They
Speaker 2: actually believe it.
Speaker 1: Which is scarier than you know, them being deliberately biased. Yeah,
Speaker 1: unconscious bias. How do you fight that? I suppose educating people,
Speaker 1: But they consider themselves to be the elite of the elite.
Speaker 1: About dare we dirty their garments with our clawing hands
Speaker 1: asking them to actually be you know, fair.
Speaker 4: Because they saw this interview that we just played a
Speaker 4: chunk of and thought it was it was like a
Speaker 4: hit piece from the journalist as opposed to Both sides
Speaker 4: got to say their part right.
Speaker 1: Adriann Rourke is the head of News Gathering and editorial
Speaker 1: Manager one O two, Michael, we will.
Speaker 9: Still want I want to be clear. We will still
Speaker 9: ask questions. We will we still hold people accountable. That's
Speaker 9: part of our job too, but we will do so
Speaker 9: objectively and that means very plain. We have to check
Speaker 9: up bias and opinions at the door and that applies
Speaker 9: to every single point. We are not here to represent
Speaker 9: any viewpoint. We are here to tell stories and I
Speaker 9: say this a lot. We are here to report news
Speaker 9: without fear or faith.
Speaker 4: So that that meeting would have been great after the
Speaker 4: Trump Harris debate if it had been because who had
Speaker 4: that ABC, That would have been great to hear that
Speaker 4: after that where they just realized, well we went way
Speaker 4: too far. We fact checked one candidate ten times and
Speaker 4: the other candidate not at all.
Speaker 2: We need to.
Speaker 4: Or after last Tuesday or Tuesday's debate, the vice president
Speaker 4: if cbsn'd at that meeting. After that debate, I would
Speaker 4: have thought, oh, that makes sense. Yeah, but after this interview,
Speaker 4: here are you kidding?
Speaker 2: Rights? It's amazing.
Speaker 1: You're right. I take your point. She is being sincere.
Speaker 1: She thinks she is not full of crap. One A
Speaker 1: final clip one O three.
Speaker 9: I want to Acknowlange. There a lot of times that
Speaker 9: we do this really and then there are times that
Speaker 9: we don't, and there are times we fail our audiences
Speaker 9: and we fail each other. We're in one of those
Speaker 9: times right now, and it's been growing and now we.
Speaker 2: Are at a tipping.
Speaker 9: Many of you have reached out to express concerns over
Speaker 9: recent reporting, specifically about the CBS Morning's Coaches interview our
Speaker 9: last week, as well as comments made coming out of
Speaker 9: some of our correspondents reporting. I want to thank every
Speaker 9: single reached out for your honesty, your transparency, and.
Speaker 2: Your timid boy, but not the debate. You didn't mention
Speaker 2: the debate in there. Yeah that's that's funny, isn't it.
Speaker 1: Ah?
Speaker 2: So what was I going to say? Wow? Well, that's
Speaker 2: the lesson. Put it out of my head as I
Speaker 2: chased down something else.
Speaker 4: That's the lesson for all of us, is that our
Speaker 4: bias going into it is so clouding of our perception.
Speaker 4: Apparently that the things have gotten completely out of hand here,
Speaker 4: completely out of hand. Somebody presented a you that wasn't progressive,
Speaker 4: and that's crazy.
Speaker 1: For years after the death of George Floyd, CBS this morning,
Speaker 1: and not to mention all of their other plants spouted
Speaker 1: the far left, neo Marxist, anti racist, black lives matter
Speaker 1: point of view, without opposition, without opposition, Nobody was even
Speaker 1: allowed to say, Hey, you know, that's actually a Marxist organization.
Speaker 1: They're using black resentment to further their far left goals.
Speaker 1: Nobody was even allowed to say that on CBS, though
Speaker 1: it is clearly true. For years and now, poor Tony
Speaker 1: Dcoppel dares question in a very fair and gentlemanly manner,
Speaker 1: one of the paragons of sainthood of the left, who
Speaker 1: responds intelligently and forcefully and defends himself in quite a
Speaker 1: lovely fashion, even if I think he's wrong ultimately, and
Speaker 1: that is the cause of soul searching at CBS. It's uh,

Speaker 10: nose strips, and then you get it wet and peel
Speaker 10: it off and there's a whole bunch of glitter freckles
Speaker 10: so stupid.
Speaker 2: It's fine. It seems like more like something you do
Speaker 2: if you're fourteen year old.
Speaker 4: An eight year old girl, but not a thirty four
Speaker 4: year old woman.
Speaker 10: It's huge in like the rave slash Coachella.
Speaker 4: Okay, so she was stoned, that's what's going Damn hippy.
Speaker 4: She's probably probably took Exsta see where she comes.
Speaker 1: In the booth, probably so damn drug taking hippie junkies.
Speaker 2: I'm not actually hippy.
Speaker 4: I'm not actually bothered by any of the tea swizzle
Speaker 4: stuff around the football and the Chiefs. The only part
Speaker 4: of it that bothers me is her overreaction to just
Speaker 4: a mundane catch, you know, like a five yard completion whatever,
Speaker 4: second and five, you know, you get whatever.
Speaker 2: I mean, Just that's not that big a deal. People
Speaker 2: don't go Chriss.
Speaker 1: Always bothered you about her, right, She wins the seven
Speaker 1: hundred and third award of her career and acts as.
Speaker 2: If they finally love me, with their mouths wide open
Speaker 2: and everything. But yeah, but he, cause she's just enthusiastic.
Speaker 4: He catches a regular small game and she's hands on
Speaker 4: her cheeks and mouth over.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, she turns in the hug. All right.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Jack, just because you've lost your capacity
Speaker 1: for joy doesn't mean you should punish the rest of us.
Speaker 4: Maybe glitter freckles would cheer me up to Maybe it
Speaker 4: kind of a little sparkle in my life.
Speaker 2: You can't get them, they're so that's true.
Speaker 4: I'll wait till they come back into stock, or I'll
Speaker 4: get some underground dark web version somewhere.
Speaker 2: Made with lead poisoning. Yeah, Thiland, Well we got more
Speaker 2: on the way. Stay here.
Speaker 5: One of the biggest French fry factories in North America
Speaker 5: is closing because Americans are eating fewer French fries.
Speaker 2: People are eating fewer French.
Speaker 7: Fries than every Uber East driver was like, speak for yourself.
Speaker 2: I get it. I should. It's a real kryptonite food
Speaker 2: for me.
Speaker 4: I should never eat another French fry. I should never
Speaker 4: have another milkshake ever in my life. I should never
Speaker 4: eat another donut in my life. I should swear off
Speaker 4: those three things right there.
Speaker 2: In my life. Do it? I can't.
Speaker 4: Have you seen the trailer for the new Bob Dylan
Speaker 4: movie A Complete Unknown?
Speaker 2: I have not.
Speaker 4: Timothy shallow May as Bob Dylan. It's nineteen sixty five
Speaker 4: Bob Dylan right right when he's you know, launching and everything.
Speaker 2: Like that looks looks good.
Speaker 4: God, admit, I like Bob Dylan too much to be
Speaker 4: able to handle a biopic.
Speaker 2: It's weird.
Speaker 4: I don't I don't feel like this about other artists
Speaker 4: when they do this, but I feel like I just
Speaker 4: I don't want you to.
Speaker 2: Do it wrong.
Speaker 4: I'm worried you're not going to handle something that I
Speaker 4: hold in such high regard correctly.
Speaker 2: It's weird. I don't usually have that feeling well.
Speaker 1: And if you're really into something, you have no need
Speaker 1: for a biopic, No, you do not.
Speaker 2: All this saw the reality of it true, but like, well,
Speaker 2: I disagree.
Speaker 4: I guess like war movies, I know exactly what happened,
Speaker 4: but to see it portrayed, it would have looked like
Speaker 4: if you were there. Oh yeah, and I'm hoping they
Speaker 4: can be okay, what was it like for him to be,
Speaker 4: you know, twenty eight years old in the coffee shop,
Speaker 4: brand new.
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah.
Speaker 4: But yeah, don't overdo it, don't make it too schmaltzy
Speaker 4: or dumb it down.
Speaker 2: I can't handle that. Well, good luck with that. That'll
Speaker 2: make me angry. Okay, you think, yeah, what did the.
Speaker 1: Folk scene actually look and sound like in New York
Speaker 1: City in nineteen sixty five?
Speaker 2: You're you're right, I'm curious about that. This is dumb.
Speaker 4: Governor of California, Gavin Newsom signed in the law banning
Speaker 4: all plastic shopping bags of grocery stores. It's not officially
Speaker 4: a law, and I noticed they'd already started to switch
Speaker 4: over at my grocery stores. Now I get completely useless
Speaker 4: paper bags that will immediately go into the trash because
Speaker 4: I can't use them for anything else.
Speaker 2: Really, and uh, there you go.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to come up with the right act of
Speaker 1: civil disobedience to defy this. A mink shopping bag or
Speaker 1: something made out of the good guts of pandas or
Speaker 1: I don't know what it would be that would be
Speaker 1: the most possible offensive. Maybe just Gavin big bags, as say,
Speaker 1: Gavin dow some sucks on the signs.
Speaker 4: One of my favorite libertarians tweeted out to that story.
Speaker 4: This is the epitome of a policy that sounds great
Speaker 4: to a small group of activists and looks perfect on
Speaker 4: a protest sign and yet it accomplishes effectively nothing except
Speaker 4: to make people's day to day lives a little more
Speaker 4: annoying performance art that is exactly right.
Speaker 2: And increases their cynicism appropriately. You're right, You're.
Speaker 4: Right for those because most of us see through it.
Speaker 4: We realize it's pointless. And all you've done is make
Speaker 4: my life a little more annoying. Not greatly more annoying,
Speaker 4: but a little more annoying for no good reason other
Speaker 4: than to a certain crowd.
Speaker 2: You made them feel better, over accomplished trying to do this,
Speaker 2: and you keep screwing it up. But that doesn't stop
Speaker 2: you from trying again.
Speaker 4: Yeah, for the second time today, I say. One of
Speaker 4: the advantages of being old is I can remember when
Speaker 4: they banned plastic bags and went all paper, or when
Speaker 4: they banned paper and went all plucks.
Speaker 2: I remember that very well. I was probably in my twenties.
Speaker 2: Save the trades, Save the trades.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, fine, Now I'll start purchasing plastic bags so
Speaker 4: that I have something to line my trash stands and
Speaker 4: pick up my dog poop as a post to using
Speaker 4: the ones from.
Speaker 2: The grocery store. No, that's banned now, and the handle
Speaker 2: breaks off your paper bag all the time.
Speaker 4: I guess I'm supposed to show up with my bag
Speaker 4: that I carry my trunk, but I'm never going to
Speaker 4: do that. Good for you if you do that, I
Speaker 4: can an understaand why any But I'm never going to
Speaker 4: do that. I'll just never get around to it.
Speaker 2: Here here, I got it.
Speaker 1: Every time I go to the grocery store, it will
Speaker 1: be with a burro who has two of those satchels
Speaker 1: on his side, that whatever you call those.
Speaker 2: Right saddle bags.
Speaker 1: I guess sure, yeah, I will lead my bureau through
Speaker 1: the grocery store, and if confronted, I will say, well,
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom is banned the plastic bags I would otherwise use.
Speaker 2: So I've brought this bourou He laughed. I laugh.
Speaker 1: I would feed the thing a lot to make sure
Speaker 1: it's you. Well, you can guess there.
