1 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 3 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty and he Armstrong and Yedty. Good evening. 4 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 3: It has been a tradition here at the Late Show 5 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 3: since yesterday that the major party candidates sit down with 6 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 3: me for an interview. In October, we invited Kamala Harris 7 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 3: to be our guest this evening, and she accepted that 8 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 3: interview in a moment. In the interest of fairness, we 9 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 3: also invited former President Donald Trump. 10 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 2: To go himself. He declined. Our author show the Wow. 11 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 2: Michael mentioned before the show we should hear the opening 12 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 2: of Stephen Colbert last night, who had Kamala Harrison as 13 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 2: the guest. You know, for better or worse, and I 14 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 2: think it's for worse. This is the direction we've gone 15 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 2: with our culture, where it would have been beyond unheard 16 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 2: of to take that point of view as a talk 17 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 2: show host back in the day. You just you would 18 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 2: not make your preferences that open, no, because it was 19 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 2: seen bad for business. It was bad for business, and 20 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 2: I think also just seen as not the correct way 21 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 2: to do things. 22 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: You're right, it's on gentlemanly and overly aggressive and just 23 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: mean to other Americans who disagree with you. 24 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,320 Speaker 2: But if you want to be successful, now, I suggest 25 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 2: you do what Stephen Colbert does because he gets great 26 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 2: ratings with that. And so that leads us to this 27 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 2: and the point that Kamala Harris, while doing a media 28 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 2: blitz outside of sixty minutes where she was pressed somewhat 29 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 2: certainly more than she normally gets, she's doing she's going 30 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 2: to all friendly venues. I mean only to the point 31 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 2: that she did Oprah Winfrey. Oprah Winfrey spoke at her convention. 32 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 2: She did Kristin Welker. Kristen Welker had come out and 33 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 2: said she endorses her. Howard Stern endorses her. She's gone 34 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 2: on Howard Stern. She went on the View. Of course, 35 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 2: the views all in love with her, and she went 36 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 2: on Colbert, and you just heard how Colbert handled it. 37 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 2: On The View yesterday, she was asked a question, is 38 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 2: there anything you would do different than what Joe Biden didn't? 39 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 2: She passed on that. She said no, which seems crazy. 40 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 2: Has the change candidate? Yes, it's crazy, And then Colbert 41 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 2: asked the same question last night. 42 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 3: Polling shows that a lot of people, especially independent voters, 43 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 3: really want this to be a change election, and that 44 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 3: they tend to break for you in terms of thinking 45 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 3: about change, you are a member of the president administration 46 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 3: under a Harris administration, what would the major changes be 47 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:54,959 Speaker 3: and what would say the same? 48 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 4: Sure, well, I mean I'm obviously not Joe Biden, and 49 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 4: so that would be one change. But also I think 50 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 4: it's important to say with you know, twenty eight days ago, 51 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 4: I'm not Donald Trump. 52 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 2: Okay, so she decided not to answer the question again. 53 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 2: We got a little more coming up here, but that 54 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 2: is interesting. Mark Cowpern made the point in his newsletter 55 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 2: that you generally you get these big opportunities to be 56 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 2: on big shows and get a big audience. This is 57 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 2: your gonna get their message out. Here's we're going to 58 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 2: score some points, move the ball down the fields. It's 59 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 2: an opportunity to get your message out without having to 60 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 2: spend a ton of money. You got all that money 61 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 2: that you're having to spend on advertisements to try to 62 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 2: say something. Here you get to say it for free. 63 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 2: And she had the opportunity to say something, and she 64 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 2: chose not to. And as he wrote yesterday, one they're 65 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:57,119 Speaker 2: making no news with all these interviews, So why do them? 66 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 2: I mean, they're not making any news unless your only 67 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 2: point is to be able to say, oh, we've done 68 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 2: lots of interviews, which might be their only point, but 69 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 2: they're making no new suspect that may be, but go on, 70 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 2: they're making no news, So it would seem that their 71 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 2: goal is to not f up. Their only goal is 72 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 2: to get out of there without doing damage, which is 73 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 2: a hell of a way to be a candidate. I 74 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 2: can't think of any winning candidates that have done that. 75 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 2: Maybe Joe Biden, but that was that weird COVID year, 76 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 2: so it was slightly different. I'm not sure it would 77 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 2: have worked if it hadn't been for COVID. Well, he 78 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 2: had that convenient excuse. 79 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So he was never peppered with the why 80 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: don't you talk to anybody who's gonna ask you any 81 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 1: hard questions? Because eventually I think journalists will get there. 82 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 2: Trump asked answers questions, hard questions all the time. Obama, 83 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 2: did Bush? Did Clinton? 84 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: Did? 85 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 2: They go on these shows and they would make news, 86 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 2: they'd say things, they'd promote their thing. She is in 87 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 2: full prevent for corners defense all the time, which is 88 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 2: really interesting. And then again, what Mark Alpern wrote today 89 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 2: was and he was mystified as to why she didn't 90 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 2: take these opportunities to separate herself when asked both on 91 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 2: the View and on Colbert. If these were prepared answers 92 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 2: on which she executed, heaven helped Wilmington. That's the home base, 93 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 2: that's where her campaign is based out of. If these 94 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 2: were ad libbed answers, heaven help Wilmington. Either way. If 95 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 2: this was your strategy, oh my god. If this was 96 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 2: not your strategy, oh my god. 97 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 4: Yeah. 98 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: If you gave us ten minutes to sit in a 99 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: room and come up with half a dozen plausible, sexy 100 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: answers to that question, I'm confident I could do it. 101 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 2: I could certainly come up with three or four. 102 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 1: I was out trying. 103 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 2: I would start with, well, if you haven't spent four 104 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 2: years at a job and not learned something, you're not 105 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 2: doing it right. And here's what we've learned. And then yeah, 106 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 2: you know, I had a couple of things makes. 107 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: Exactly or even I mean, this is unfair, but it 108 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: just popped into my head. One thing I would change 109 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: is we had believed Republicans would work with us on 110 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: securing the border, and they didn't. In fact, just as 111 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 1: we were at a deal, they backed out of it. 112 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 1: That's why we had all those millions of people pour 113 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 1: across the border. So one thing I've learned is don't 114 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: trust the Republicans to be bipartisan. I mean, that's unfair, 115 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: it's bull crap, it's dishonest, but at least it's an answer. 116 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, God helped Wilmington. She's utterly incapable of 117 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: even the most hackneyed stock political you know, buckets of 118 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: bull crap. 119 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 2: Well, her first swing added on the View yesterday was 120 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 2: this one. 121 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 5: Well, if anything, would you have done something differently than 122 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 5: President Biden during the past four years. 123 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 4: There is not a thing that comes to mind in 124 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 4: terms of and I've been a part of most of 125 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 4: the decisions that have had impact. 126 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 2: So that is incredible. Yeah, that is incredible. There's not 127 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:02,119 Speaker 2: a thing that comes to mind. So again, they either 128 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 2: went over this because this is an obvious one. I mean, 129 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 2: this is absolutely an obvious question. So they either had 130 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 2: not thought of it, which means they're it's malpractice, or 131 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 2: they did and she's incompletely incapable of remembering what our 132 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 2: answer was right. Those are your only two choices, I think. 133 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: And it's not that she was unable to come up 134 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: with something on the fly, because again, it's such an 135 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: obvious question, you'd have to be prepared for it. 136 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there are only two options. They didn't prepare, 137 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 2: which would be crazy. They did prepare and she couldn't 138 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 2: remember it. 139 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: Or even something like, well, remember when we took office, 140 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: it was still the time of the pandemic, and so 141 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: obviously our policies were tailored towarding pandemic time when the 142 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: economy is struggling. Now that we have gotten inflation under control, 143 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: we're going to be much more growth oriented anything like that. 144 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: And instead, I can't think of anything. 145 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a terrible, terrible answer. So back to Colbert. 146 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 2: So last time in Colbert she's asked the question again, 147 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 2: she basically says, no, I can't think of anything, and 148 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 2: then she goes into this is this is classic Kamala 149 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 2: Harris right here. And so when we. 150 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 4: Think about the significance of what this next generation of 151 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 4: leadership looks like were I to be elected president, it 152 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 4: is about Frankly, I love the American people, and I 153 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 4: believe in our country. I love that it is our 154 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 4: character and nature to be an ambitious people. You know, 155 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 4: we have aspirations, we have dreams, are we have incredible 156 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 4: work ethic and I just believe that we can create 157 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 4: and build upon the success we've achieved in a way 158 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 4: that we continue to grow opportunity and in that way 159 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 4: grow the strength of our nation. So, for example, my 160 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 4: economic policy is I think of it and I have 161 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 4: named it as creating an opportunity economy. 162 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 2: Man, I believe Americans have maps.

But 168 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 2: if she loses, people will start pointing fingers and we'll 169 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 2: hear pretty quickly. Yeah.

It's amazing. Anyways, 187 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 2: go ahead. 188 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: So we were talking about the CBS story in both 189 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: Hours two and three where Tony Decouple dared to ask 190 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: some difficult questions of ton of easy Coats about his 191 00:10:55,720 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: new book, and the woke CBS newspeople freaked out about 192 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,839 Speaker 1: it because she showed bias. The fact that he asked 193 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: difficult questions of a liberal showed bias, when CBS is 194 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: just absolutely stemmed to stern packed full of bias. 195 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 2: In digging into. 196 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: This through multiple sources in the audio we came up 197 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: with and the rest of it, I'd missed one aspect 198 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: of it. One CBS reporter Jan Crawford, who's been their 199 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: CBS chief Legal correspondent since two thousand and nine, which 200 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: she said, I am now a huge Jan Crawford fan. 201 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,559 Speaker 2: Oh really can't wait to bring that to cool among 202 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 2: other things. And Tesla has just unveiled their version of 203 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 2: a ROBOTAXI remember they're the they're the ones that made 204 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 2: electric cars even somewhat viable. Maybe they'll make robo because 205 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 2: the whole training dogs thing didn't work out. 206 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: Weird. 207 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 2: They getting weird fast. Stay here. I will read the 208 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 2: new Bob Woodword book, which comes out in five days. 209 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 2: I think jd Vance told me he was a hack. 210 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,599 Speaker 2: I won't read it. He's definitely not a hack. The 211 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 2: hack thing that happens with Bob Woodward books is the 212 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 2: leaks that come out to promote it, which are always 213 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 2: very misrepresentative respirat. They don't represent well the book in 214 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 2: its totality when it comes out. But probably talk more 215 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 2: about that when the book does come out next week. Also, 216 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 2: Benjamin Netton, Yahoo, who Joe Biden. That's that's interesting they're 217 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 2: talking today. So one of the blurbs from the new 218 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 2: Woodward book is that behind the scenes. Biden calls Net 219 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,319 Speaker 2: and Yahoo regularly that effing a hole refers to him, 220 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 2: so does not like a liar, although I think Benjamin 221 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 2: Natanya was probably fairly thick skinned for a variety of reasons. 222 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,559 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, as all politicians are. But they're going to 223 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 2: speak together for the first time in weeks, Biden and 224 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 2: Net and Yahoo as Israel tries to figure out to 225 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 2: what extent they're going to attack Iran's I'm sure that 226 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 2: will be one of the topics came across this. There's 227 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 2: a big Tesla event tomorrow. Elon Musk gonna announce a 228 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 2: few new things to his regular cars, and then also 229 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 2: the cyber Cab, which is going to be a vehicle 230 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 2: that they deploy sometime between the next month and the 231 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 2: next year. They're not exactly sure how long it'll take 232 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 2: the roll out, but it's like we've heard of some 233 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 2: of these other self driving cars and a new version 234 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 2: of that, the cyber cab. He has also brought up 235 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 2: the possibility of Tesla owners letting their cars run as 236 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 2: robotaxis when they're not in use. I don't feel like 237 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 2: I'm going to like when I'm in sleep at night, 238 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 2: gonna let my car be running around town with drunk 239 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 2: college kids in it.

No, uh so, I don't know. I 243 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 2: just I do not see this ever happening. I really don't, 244 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 2: at least not for a very long time, any sort 245 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 2: of robotaxi thing where there are no human beings involved 246 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,839 Speaker 2: just because of vandalism. I don't see how you get 247 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 2: around that. 248 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, and robberies and that sort of thing, as we 249 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: discussed yesterday. 250 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't either. 251 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: I just don't know that there is a way to 252 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: circumvent evil people, and everything human beings do must be 253 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: designed to circumvent evil people. We've got a couple of 254 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: stories we haven't gotten to on that, just the how 255 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: the online community is coaching everybody on how to rip 256 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: off stores on fake returns, and how that's billions and 257 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: billions of dollars. I have another one about the rampant 258 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: fraud going on to New York City now with the 259 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: mobs and the various ethnic gangs and faking up accidents 260 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: because it's a no fault insurance state, and they're ripping 261 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: off the insurance companies so much the insurance company is 262 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: going to pull out of New York City completely. All 263 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: human systems and politics must be designed to recognize. 264 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 2: There are evil doers and predators. 265 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: Among us, and anybody who thinks otherwise, and they can 266 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: just they only do it because they're poor, or this 267 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: set because they're the wrong race, or that's the only 268 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: reason there's crime, and. 269 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 2: You're a fool and an idiot. Yeah, And it would 270 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 2: seem that many of us will indulge our worst impulses 271 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 2: if we can get away with it to an extent, 272 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 2: we might not even realize ourselves. Luckily, I haven't been 273 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 2: put in that situation to fully realize what I might 274 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 2: be willing to do. If nobody was watching her, I 275 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 2: couldn't get caught, but plenty of people will. Yeah, And 276 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 2: like you said, everything's got to be built around that 277 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 2: element of human nature. Video here on the New York Post. 278 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 2: New York Post is where you go to for sometimes 279 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 2: really great journalism, some amazing opinion pieces, and the dumbest 280 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 2: of clickbait stories like they fired me because I'm too hot. 281 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 2: You know, lots of. 282 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: Those They said, my preasts are too big to be 283 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: a flight attendant. 284 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 2: Right, well, jeez, she must have enormous press. Then I 285 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 2: better click on this story. Don't do it, you moron. 286 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 2: Here's one video shows drunk dad dragged under car while 287 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 2: allegedly teaching nine year old son how to drive, and 288 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 2: they've got a video. I haven't watched it yet because 289 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 2: I gotta watch a commercial. It's too long. You're drunk 290 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 2: showing your nine year old how to drive. And it's 291 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 2: not out in the country like my kids were driving 292 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 2: when they were nine on our farm. Absolutely, thank you're 293 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 2: call in the county. But his nine year old and 294 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 2: it's into like a suburban street and he's hammered and 295 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 2: he ends up underneath the car. 296 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: This is that's really a terrible idea, numb nut. So 297 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: one CBS staffer stood up like a hero and protested 298 00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: against the woke onslaught against poor Tony Dicoppel. Her heroic 299 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: speech coming up next, love It. 300 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty. 301 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 5: We will still, I want to be clear, We will 302 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 5: still ask tough questions. We will still hold people accountable. 303 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 5: That's part of our job too, but we will do 304 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 5: so objectively and that means very plain, we have to 305 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,719 Speaker 5: check up bias and opinions at the door, and that 306 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 5: applies to every single point. We are not here to 307 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 5: represent any viewpoint. We are here to tell stories and 308 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 5: I say this a lot. We are here to report 309 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 5: news without fear or faith. 310 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,640 Speaker 1: That is Adrian Rourke, who's one of the higher ups 311 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 1: at CBS News, lecturing the whole news crew on not 312 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: having bias because a conservative dared to ask some difficult 313 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 1: questions of a progressive author and everybody freaked out. 314 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 2: It is utterly hilarious. 315 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: It is expository, meaning they've exposed themselves. It's frustrating because 316 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: she sounds sincere. 317 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 2: Right, which leads me to believe that all this bias 318 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 2: that we're seeing, especially around these debates, is they believe 319 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 2: they're being fair. They think they're being fair moderators and 320 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 2: treating both sides equally. It's just a one side's evil 321 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 2: and one side's good, so we don't need to fact 322 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 2: check them. They actually believe it. No, no my sides 323 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 2: telling the truth. What would I fact check? 324 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: That guy's lying all the time, And especially in the 325 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: wake of CBS editing Kamala Harrison, the the unforgivable one 326 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: sided moderation of the VEEP debate the other day, and 327 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: just CBS has leaned to the left for years and 328 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 1: years and years and years, the idea that she would 329 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: be bellowing and demanding no bias here in the wake 330 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: of again some difficult but fair questions being asked of a. 331 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 2: Progressive It's just it's just pathetic, it's just sad and on. 332 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: During this one sided onslaught, though, Jan Crawford, who's been 333 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 1: the CBS chief Legal correspondent since nine actually was like 334 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,120 Speaker 1: the one person or one of very few to rush 335 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: to Tony da Couple's that's the journalist and question who 336 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: ask the tough questions of tin of easy coats. Uh, 337 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: she rushed to the couple's defense, and uh, we'll start 338 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 1: with one O seven Michael. 339 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 2: So I guess we're. 340 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 5: It sounds like we're calling out one of our anchors 341 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 5: in a somewhat public setting on this call for failing 342 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 5: to meet editorial standards. I'm not even sure what. I 343 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 5: don't understand how Tony's interview or any of his comments 344 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 5: that he's made with anchors failed to, you know, meet 345 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 5: our editorial standards that obviously go back to the days 346 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 5: of Murrow and you know Cronkite, which, of course I 347 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 5: thought our commitment was too truth. And when someone comes 348 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 5: on our air with a one sided account of a 349 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 5: very complex situation, as Cost himself acknowledges that he has, 350 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 5: it's my understanding that as a journalist we are obligated 351 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,159 Speaker 5: to challenge that worldview so that our viewers can have 352 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 5: that access to the truth or a fuller account, a 353 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 5: more balanced account. And to me, that is what Tony did. 354 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,919 Speaker 5: He challenged Coast his worldview, his one sided worldview. Coast 355 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 5: got to respond, it was civil. 356 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 2: I mean, I'd have. 357 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 5: To look this up. I don't know if I'm quoting 358 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,919 Speaker 5: it exactly, but I read the Washington Post and they 359 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 5: said it was calm, and you know, artfelt. I think 360 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,399 Speaker 5: those are the words they used. 361 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 2: To a great extent. It's such an age thing. I'm 362 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 2: guessing Jane Crawford because she's been at CBS like mine, 363 00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,360 Speaker 2: tire following CBS News life, she's probably roughly my age, 364 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 2: in her fifties. I'm guessing it's just that people that 365 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 2: have been around long enough to remember when no our 366 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 2: goal is to try to be somewhat fair and just 367 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 2: to get to the truth. And then there's the new 368 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:19,120 Speaker 2: crowd that thinks, no, no, no, our goal is to out 369 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 2: the evil side and protect our side. And there's just 370 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:28,360 Speaker 2: that division there age wise, and I would guess that 371 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,120 Speaker 2: Jan Crawford didn't do her career any favors there by 372 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 2: standing up for the old version. 373 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,439 Speaker 1: God bless her, though she can walk away with her 374 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: chin up and her integrity. Intact, let's say hear more 375 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 1: from Jan. 376 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 5: I don't see how we can say that failed to 377 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 5: meet our Edit Royal standards. 378 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 2: I mean, I thought our. 379 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 5: Edit Royal standards focused on and when we announced this 380 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 5: in a public setting, which I understand, you say you've 381 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 5: addressed it with Tony, I don't know what that even means. 382 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 5: But you know, it's when we fail to or when 383 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,640 Speaker 5: we broadcast false information or we adequate, you know, don't 384 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 5: adequately verify something, which we have done in the past, 385 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 5: and we've acknowledged that. But here I think Tony did 386 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 5: the opposite. He prevented a one sided account from being 387 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 5: broadcast on our network about a deeply complex, as you said, 388 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 5: situation that you know completely was devoid of history or fact. 389 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,439 Speaker 5: And as journalists, it seems to me, that's what we 390 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 5: have an obligation to do. And as someone that does 391 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 5: a lot of interviews, including on controversial topics with public figures, 392 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 5: you know, I'm not. 393 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 2: Really sure now how. 394 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 5: To proceed in challenging the viewpoints that are obviously one 395 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 5: sided and devoid of your history. 396 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 2: Don't is what they're saying. I'm sorry, old lady. I 397 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 2: looked it up. She's exactly our age. Sorry, old lady, 398 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 2: times have changed. You're talking about a prior era, which 399 00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 2: isn't even that long ago. But times have changed. You're 400 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 2: not supposed to challenge a one sided point of view 401 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 2: if it's the same point of view that the network has. 402 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 2: That's not your joby. 403 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 1: We will be biased all day long until a conservative 404 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 1: actually asks a progressive hard questions. Then we will yell 405 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,719 Speaker 1: about how we have no bias. It is the official policy. 406 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 2: It's something to watch that that liberals my whole life. 407 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 2: Like Bill Maher, Matt Tayebi, who we quote all the time, 408 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,479 Speaker 2: who's also in his fifties. Jan Crawford there, who I've 409 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 2: always was. She was a left leaning journalist. For me, 410 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 2: my whole life is now standing up. For wait a second, 411 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 2: we're not supposed to let somebody be completely one sided. 412 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 2: But man, it's interesting how much things have changed so quickly. 413 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 1: Now. Given Adrian Rourke, the News had there given her 414 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: very framing of the discussion, everything she said, the way 415 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 1: she described the issues, and their standards and what biases 416 00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 1: and their duty to their viewers. 417 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:00,719 Speaker 2: And everything she said. 418 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 1: Jan Crawford took on the argument on those terms and 419 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: to me is winning its hands down. You'll notice the 420 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 1: interesting twist at the end of this final clip. 421 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 5: I don't understand how we can say that violated CBS 422 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 5: News is editorial standards, and I don't understand if that's 423 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 5: the case, what is the objective standard for the rest 424 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 5: of us when we're doing our own interviews. Again, like 425 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 5: I said, I'm trying to just process this, so I 426 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 5: appreciate you speaking of I appreciate you bringing all this up, 427 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 5: and as I said, I know that this is a 428 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 5: lot for. 429 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 2: Everybody to process. No, it's not thing. 430 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 5: What I want to do is talk to you personally 431 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,640 Speaker 5: after this, just in the interest of letting everybody get 432 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 5: get get you on the editorial and knowing what today is. 433 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,640 Speaker 5: I'll call you right after this, or I just can 434 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 5: jump off and call you now, no, I mean, we 435 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,120 Speaker 5: have news to get through. It is a very important day. 436 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 5: I mean I know I didn't was not aware that 437 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,640 Speaker 5: people had reached out to you or Wendy. I wish 438 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 5: that I had to say a great job, Tony or 439 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,719 Speaker 5: you know, way to not allow a one sited account 440 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,880 Speaker 5: on a deeply complex issue be presented on our network, 441 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 5: which is a disservice to our viewers. I didn't know 442 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,880 Speaker 5: that that was something I needed to do, but Jef, 443 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 5: I would very much welcome the opportunity. 444 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,880 Speaker 2: To have that conversation. Thank you. We will have that 445 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 2: right after this. 446 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 5: Thank you. 447 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 1: Persolutely on industry source said Crawford has quote balls of 448 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: steel and as one of the most respected journalists that CBS. 449 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 1: He added, it's disgraceful that management chose not to answer 450 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 1: her question in front of the whole group on the call. 451 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 2: Unless you are turning the page toward the new journalism, 452 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 2: which is about advocacy, You choose a side and you 453 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 2: advocate advocate for it. That's your job. And I don't 454 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 2: know if that manager bel leaves that, but I think 455 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 2: she believes all of her young people believe it. And 456 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 2: yet she, as I said, she framed the entire thing 457 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 2: with the traditional ethics. 458 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, and then when Jan Crawford said, well the traditional 459 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 1: ethics Tony fulfilled in spades four stars. 460 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 2: I think, well we should talk privately. I see the 461 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 2: conundrum there. I guess you can't say it out loud. 462 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 2: So it is the new journalism that may take over. 463 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 2: Maybe already has most places. But maybe you can't take 464 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 2: a good decisions, son, but maybe you can't say it 465 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 2: out loud. Hanson just said in my ear that manager 466 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,679 Speaker 2: is seething right now. Yeah. When a manager says to you, 467 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 2: let's have this conversation afterwards in private, they're probably very 468 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 2: unhappy that you will. 469 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:53,199 Speaker 1: Because you've exposed me as a lying hypocrite, right and 470 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: you've exposed me as somebody not only a hypocrite, but 471 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 1: is in violation of the very principles I'm spouting at 472 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: the moment. 473 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 2: I think this is fascinating. It's happened at the Washington Post, 474 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 2: It's happened in the New York Times. You're hearing it, 475 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,120 Speaker 2: getting to hear it at CBS News. Who's gonna win out? 476 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:16,400 Speaker 2: Is it gonna be the no journalism is supposed to 477 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 2: get to the truth, or is journalism supposed to advocate 478 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 2: for a position who's gonna win out in the end. 479 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't like our chances. I just 480 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 2: want to I don't know. 481 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 1: Is there a GoFundMe for jan Crawford or can I 482 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 1: kiss her or give her a high five or a 483 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 1: buy stock or something. I just I so appreciate her 484 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: courage and eloquence in defense of the very freaking principles. 485 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: Do you think MAYBELD Adrian Rourke was droning on about, well, 486 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: we get an interesting text from somebody said, you guys 487 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: obviously have never been managers of large groups of people. 488 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 1: What that person is trying to do is deal with 489 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:02,239 Speaker 1: a very hostile set of employees underneath her, and you know, 490 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 1: figure out a way to get them to work together. Okay, 491 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 1: maybe I don't know. 492 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 2: It seemed like on this particular topic, you got to 493 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 2: choose a side, you got to choose a direction. You 494 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 2: can't there's no bringing it together. You're either going to 495 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 2: do journalism the way it's always been or at least 496 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 2: for the last seventy five years, or not. Yeah. 497 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: I would say to that person, I see your point, 498 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,399 Speaker 1: and I appreciate it. I get what you're trying to 499 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 1: say you have to calm things down before you solve problems. 500 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: But I don't believe that Ms Rourke was actually trying 501 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: to do that. I think she was giving into the 502 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:46,959 Speaker 1: worst impulses of her mob of you know, woke employees 503 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 1: are going to burn the place to the ground. You can't. 504 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: At some point you have to make a stand. Although 505 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: again your point is well taken. 506 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 2: So do you think Jan Crawford doesn't know that, For instance, 507 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 2: Columbia Journalism School, maybe the most respected journalism school in America, 508 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,719 Speaker 2: has decided that advocacy journalism is the new way. 509 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: Well, I think I think she's one hundred percent acquainted 510 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: with it, like I said, and that was that was 511 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: the reason I went to Pains to point out that 512 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: she used the very principles the Miss Rourke was expressing. 513 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 1: She met her with her own verbiage and challenged her. 514 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 2: Why do you think, why do you think the boss 515 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 2: didn't say it, doesn't say it out loud? Why do 516 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 2: you think places don't say it out loud? Well, if 517 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 2: that is the direction journalism is going, advocacy journalism, and 518 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 2: the young people want it that way. Just because you 519 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 2: think you'd turn off everybody over the age of forty five. 520 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: Well, keeping in mind the contribution of the texture there 521 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: we were taking Adrian and Rourke at a word that 522 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: she thinks she's being unbiased. I think that person's point 523 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: was she was just trying to defuse the young man 524 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 1: acts well and Gail although Gail King she's friends with 525 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 1: Coats and a far lefty and a racialist activist and 526 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: the rest of it. I think it wasn't just young 527 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 1: woke staffers. I think it was the very liberal heavyweights 528 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: of CBS News who are on the war path, and 529 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: she's It could be Rourke knew she was threading an 530 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 1: impossible needle, but was just trying to diffuse the anger 531 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 1: of the lefty. 532 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 2: Heavyweights because she had no other choice. 533 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 1: She couldn't win that fight. I don't know yet. 534 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 2: I'm disturbed by the state of mainstream journalism. Everything woke 535 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 2: turns to Now. A lot of you would say, oh, 536 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 2: who cares. I don't read the New York Times, I 537 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 2: don't watch CBS Evening News. I get all my news 538 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 2: from And then you would name a bunch of things 539 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 2: I've probably never even heard of. Sure, but I don't 540 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 2: know if that's gonna work force where everybody's got their 541 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 2: own sources. You don't know if that's going to work. 542 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 2: I don't. As I've often said, we'll all find out together. Yeah, 543 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 2: we will. We'll finish strong next The hurricane still has 544 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 2: a possibility to be a major factor in the presidential election, 545 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 2: depending how the relief efforts continue in North Carolina and 546 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 2: Georgia and Tennessee, and also with Milton Barren down on Florida. 547 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 2: The mayor there in Tampa, who yesterday said if you stay, 548 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 2: you're gonna die, today said, if you plan to ride 549 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 2: out the hurricane, that's a coffin you're in in your home. 550 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 1: Well, finding a new way to express it. Okay, I 551 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 1: guess so. So he's probably damn close to right, given 552 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 1: the predicted storm surge. 553 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't been paying that close attention. I don't know. 554 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 2: There are many examples, I think when they have asked 555 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 2: for these evacuations, I've always thought I'd stay, depending on 556 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 2: my lifestyle. If I got kids would be a different 557 00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 2: calculation than if I'm by myself and all that sort. 558 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 1: Of stuff, and you're eleven cats, of course, to protect them. 559 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 2: Milton expected to hit Florida with so much force. It 560 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 2: could change forever the coastline of Florida. Uh, the world's 561 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 2: worst influencer. This is a woman refusing to evacuate before 562 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 2: the hurricane who says she's okay with dying. Okay, nice, 563 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 2: I'm gonna hit tonight the hurricane is in. 564 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 1: Go an hour inland and stay at the Holiday Inn. 565 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 2: Instead of dying.
