00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 2: Chipotle has announced that it will offer burritos to customers

5
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 2: and costume for six dollars.

6
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: After three pm.

7
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 3: Good news for the front of the horse, but horrible

8
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 3: news for the back.

9
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 4: I had Mexican food last night, my son and I,

10
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 4: and we both regretted it afterwards, even though it was

11
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 4: perfectly good food. It wasn't Chipotle, but you know, big greasy,

12
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 4: heavy meal. You know how it is a hot day,

13
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 4: and I've been wanting to do this for years. I

14
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,639
Speaker 4: just don't know if I could ever pull it off.

15
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 4: I would like to eat healthy well for a day,

16
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 4: it would be a good start, but like for a

17
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 4: whole week, and just see how I felt like if

18
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 4: I just ate really good light, non greasy, not fatty

19
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,839
Speaker 4: and sugary, just like healthy for a whole week.

20
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: I think it'd be shocking how good I would feel.

21
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: I assume.

22
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wish I had a nutritionist. Please don't write

23
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 3: if offering your services, I know where to find them.

24
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,199
Speaker 3: But just you know, like Tom Brady has a cook.

25
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's somebody, very fit, attractive, blonde woman offered to

26
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 4: do that for me and I I have not taken

27
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 4: her up on that offer because it just you don't

28
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 4: want to do that, trust me, you don't want to

29
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 4: get involved in my life, but trying to feed me

30
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 4: because I just I have bad I have horrible habits.

31
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 4: There's no fixing them. But there there are very few

32
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 4: super rich things I wish I could do. Like if

33
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 4: I was super rich, like I don't need a nicer

34
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 4: car or bigger house or any of that stuff, but

35
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 4: the whole haveven Like a cook nutrition thing would be

36
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 4: pretty damn cool. Somebody that crafts you a meal, snacks

37
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 4: everything around you all the time, makes it super easy,

38
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 4: takes care of all that that I would dig I

39
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 4: think I could do it then, or maybe maybe I'm

40
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 4: lying to myself. Maybe I'd be putting on a fake

41
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 4: mustache and a hat and slipping out the back door, going.

42
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 3: To the convinced indoor, brow beating them, saying, listen, damn it.

43
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,399
Speaker 1: You work for me. I don't care what I hold you.

44
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: You're making me a big Gracie bacon burrito right now.

45
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 4: Say, it'd be like one of those things we've all

46
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 4: seen in sitcoms or whatever. Okay, don't let me out,

47
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 4: no matter how hard I beg, do not let me out.

48
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 3: The young Frankenstein see it exactly.

49
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 4: It'd be one of those Okay, I'm telling you right

50
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 4: now to start the week, no matter how hard I

51
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 4: beg or threaten you or whatever, do not let.

52
00:02:58,480 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: Me eat crap.

53
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 3: Just makes the good stuff coming up later this hour

54
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 3: can't wait. A really well, at least somewhat encouraging update

55
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 3: to the whole CBS News Tony de couple a ton

56
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 3: of Hashi coats flap and that that awful skin crawling

57
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 3: afraid of their own staff meeting that we played to

58
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 3: the audio for yesterday.

59
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: A little update on that story.

60
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 3: A couple of stories worth just touching on, at least briefly.

61
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 3: Taiwan's new leader has taken office and made a speech

62
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 3: saying essentially Taiwan Well. He reasserted his stance on Taiwan's

63
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 3: sovereignty and that Beijing had no right to represent it

64
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 3: or claim it.

65
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: But he also called.

66
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, Taiwan is determined to maintain piece and stability across

67
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 3: the Taiwan straight and achieve global security and prosperity. Taiwanese

68
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 3: security officials said this week that they expected China to

69
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 3: launch new drills in response to the speech, regardless of

70
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 3: what the leader said. Chinese military said it's drills in

71
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 3: May were a strong punishment for separatist acts, to which

72
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 3: I would be tempted to reply, um.

73
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: Were separate is the thing? Lii I said.

74
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 3: The People's Republic of China has no right to represent

75
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:43,679
Speaker 3: Taiwan in Beijing. Mao Nang, spokeswoman for China's communist totalitarian

76
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 3: Foreign Ministry, shot back at president lie quote. Taiwan has

77
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 3: never been a country and will never be a country,

78
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 3: she said during a regular daily briefing. Wellly, she's way

79
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 3: better than KGP because you understand what she's trying to say.

80
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 3: That is a flashpoint totalitarian biash. Moving along headline from

81
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 3: the Wall Street Journal, Companies are scrapping or rolling back

82
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 3: DEI grants, pullback an aid for black and Hispanic owned

83
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 3: businesses follows litigation from activists. They made a commitment, it

84
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 3: went away. That's some of the activists talking about it.

85
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 3: But yeah, the companies, the universities, the state of California.

86
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 3: There's a big program in San Francisco that's gotten a

87
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 3: lot of scrutiny too recently. They are all flagrantly violating

88
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 3: federal law through racial preferences.

89
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 4: Well, that's one of the great examples of the difference

90
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 4: you get between a a Republican or Trump led white

91
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 4: House and Kamala Harris DEI continues to be out there

92
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 4: and grow if Kamala's in the White House, or at

93
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 4: least that's what I should be trying to pull off,

94
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 4: and it runt if Trump's.

95
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 1: In the white House.

96
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's I get I suppose they are activists

97
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,239
Speaker 3: in a way that people who are fighting against this stuff.

98
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 3: But to say, hey, federal law says says this, and

99
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 3: you're violating it like all the time, does that make

100
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 3: me an quote unquote activist? I suppose am I active

101
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 3: in this scenario? I think you know what I'm driving at.

102
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 3: Don't don't portray me as some sort of you know,

103
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 3: is zealot for wanting federal law that's voted upon and

104
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 3: judged by the judges. And we have elections and you're

105
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 3: familiar with the whole thing. Let's go ahead and follow it.

106
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 3: Says me, But anyway, corporate America is waking up to

107
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 3: the fact that their desperate attempts to seem woke so

108
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 3: nobody would tear them down the way could George Floyd

109
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,799
Speaker 3: went badly awry, both in terms of law and ethics

110
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 3: and race and everything else. Now this is when you

111
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 3: can sink your teeth into jack Porch. Pirates are stealing

112
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 3: AT and T I fies delivered by FedEx. Thieves appear

113
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 3: within minutes or seconds to grab packages.

114
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: Police say the heists.

115
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 3: Use tracking numbers the key to these swift crimes. Investigators

116
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 3: say the thieves are armed with tracking numbers.

117
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: It's funny.

118
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 4: I'll bring this up because I was just about to order.

119
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 4: I decided I was just going to order the sixteen

120
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 4: promacs and have it shipped to my house through Best

121
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 4: buy or whoever.

122
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: But so they have a way to track it.

123
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 3: Another factor that makes packages from AT and T particularly

124
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 3: vulnerable is that AT and T typically doesn't require signature

125
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 3: on delivery.

126
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't want the signature. I'll never get my package.

127
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 4: That makes me so angry.

128
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 3: Let me know, I know, I know it. I agree

129
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 3: with you completely. If you work during the day, what

130
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 3: are you supposed to I don't know. At the same time, though,

131
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 3: I ordered rather a zoomy MacBook Pro for music recording purposes,

132
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 3: and they just dropped it on the porch.

133
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: Now I live in a hood where it's okay, But well,

134
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: I like it as an option. Yeah, that's an option.

135
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 4: I've had it before where you can't get out of it.

136
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 4: It's very manding.

137
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 3: So doorbell video cameras show the thefts in New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virginia, Michigan, Georgia, Florida, Texas.

138
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 3: In short to the United States, the details are similar.

139
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 3: A FedEx driver drops off a box with an iPhone

140
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 3: from at and t that a person walks up, sometimes

141
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 3: wearing an Amazon delivery vest, and plucks the package off

142
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 3: the front step.

143
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: Wow.

144
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 3: The heightst can be so quick that in some videos

145
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 3: the FedEx driver and thief cross paths. Wow, they know

146
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 3: what's getting delivered in location. According to detective in Massachusetts,

147
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 3: they meet the delivery driver at the front door and

148
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 3: take it. But I still don't get how are they

149
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 3: getting the tracking numbers or how are they knowing because

150
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 3: that seems like the root of the problem.

151
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: You got to keep that private more privately.

152
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, the two companies are say they're working with law

153
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 3: enforcement to investigate. Declined to disclose how many packages have

154
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 3: been stolen. Uh, it's not clear to me where they're

155
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 3: getting these tracking numbers inside information.

156
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 4: I think it's Apple themselves that won't let you order

157
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 4: anything without doing that. And I had something I got

158
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 4: for my son and they delivered it. I wasn't home,

159
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 4: of course, and I called them and said, no, that's

160
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 4: the only way we do it. And I said, well,

161
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 4: then I can't purchase from you, and they said, well,

162
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 4: I don't know what to do about it. I said, okay,

163
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 4: we'll send it back. I'll buy it somewhere else. There

164
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,280

00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: Sure, that's my lifestyle. Perfect. Yes, have you ever heard

168
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: of a job sir? Or or kids are running them around.

169
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 3: They mentioned that signatures are legally required for shipments of alcohol,

170
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 3: dangerous goods, hazardous materials, and pharmaceuticals. For other types of goods,

171
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 3: shipper typically decides whether it offer the signature option, which

172
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 3: costs the shipper seven dollars and fifteen cents extra per

173
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 3: deliver right, darn so. Chris Brown, who's a lieutenant with

174
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 3: the cops in Deer Park, Texas, said the suspects were

175
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 3: armed with inside information AT and T parcel tracking numbers.

176
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 1: They're working with AT and T.

177
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 3: To investigate how the suspects got that information.

178
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: That's the key to the whole thing.

179
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, they've got We have no evidence of a breach

180
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 3: or a hack, said AT and T. Two teens who

181
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 3: they busted in Texas, a seventeen year old boy and

182
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 3: an eighteen year old woman. A seventeen year old serial

183
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 3: thief is not a boy, rented a car and spent

184
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 3: hours circling neighborhoods around Houston. Video from the dash can

185
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 3: of the reunld car viewed by the Wall Street Journal

186
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 3: shows a young woman picking a package, jogging back to

187
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 3: the car, driving away over and over it over.

188
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: Wow.

189
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 4: And those are like fourteen hour dollars apiece. Yeah wow,

190
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 4: and easy to sell. I'm sure.

191
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 5: Oh.

192
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 3: I'm looking at all the videos of this because they

193
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 3: have all sorts of porch videos, surveillance videos, and I

194
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 3: just I really want to take a ball back to

195
00:10:59,240 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 3: these people.

196
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: It's maddening. The whole delivery thing though, depending on what

197
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: your neighborhood is.

198
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 4: I like, I guess, but I've seen it before where

199
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 4: there's like it's constant a UPS truck and an Amazon

200
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 4: truck and then there's a fed X and the I've

201
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 4: had door dash people walking past an Amazon person, you know,

202
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 4: on the sitewalking right.

203
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: It's just it never ending.

204
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, Katie, you had a package thief incident, didn't you,

205
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 3: not too long ago?

206
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it just got it got snatched because they

207
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 2: take the picture and it shows you it was delivered

208
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 2: and so it was obviously on my doorstep and then

209
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 2: no longer. But so at least I know with Apple products,

210
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 2: if you report it's stolen, Apple can actually make that

211
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 2: phone so it can't be used. So I don't know

212
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 2: how much benefit they would have from me. I don't

213
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 2: know much about Android, but I don't know the benefit

214
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 2: of stealing any Apple product and then trying to resell it.

215
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: Interesting.

216
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I want if I haven't yet received the phone,

217
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 3: I could give the order number, I suppose, and they

218
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 3: would have that information at Apple.

219
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: But I wonder how cumbersome that is. I don't know.

220
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I ran into that problem buying a phone off

221
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 2: of Craigslist like an idiot, and when I picked it

222
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 2: up and tried to activate it, they said, we're sorry,

223
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 2: this phone's stolen.

224
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, ohodh.

225
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 3: At the risk of coming off as an angry lunatic,

226
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 3: oh we're running a little late, aren't we. I was

227
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 3: gonna say, if you've ever done any reading about why

228
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 3: they hanged people for stealing horses in the Old West,

229
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 3: because you need your horse, because your horse is really important,

230
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 3: and it's really really easy to steal you.

231
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: You just climb on them and they ride you away.

232
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 3: It's your own escape, your getaway vehicle, right, And it's

233
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 3: such a good deterrent to be hung for that. Well exactly, Yeah,

234
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 3: they made the punishment so draconian people wouldn't wouldn't do it.

235
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 3: Do I want to hang people for stealing iPhones off torches? Yes,

236
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 3: but I'm not going to say so how loud. Maybe

237
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 3: how how you have order in a society is known.

238
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 3: This is not a mystery.

239
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: One of the few Sharia things that I'm into. You

240
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: didn't have to go there.

241
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 4: If you're going to take a hand, I think twice

242
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 4: before grab my iPhone.

243
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: We're a ball bat. Let's let we can talk over

244
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: the various possibilities.

245
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 4: Barbaric thought I was over the top, all right, who.

246
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: Had solved the problem? Though there's no getting around that. Okay,

247
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: more on the way, Hi, y'all doing.

248
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 4: Glad the hurricane wasn't worse, but it does take it

249
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 4: off the table as a presidential issue. I thought it

250
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 4: was going to be really, really bad. It might be

251
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 4: the thing for next week or so. I'm sure some

252
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 4: other stupid, stupid topic will end up being the thing

253
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 4: that we they talk about in political circles for the

254
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 4: rest of the presidential election. But Kevin McCarthy, former Speaker

255
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 4: of the House, Republican and Californian, who is the same

256
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 4: age as us in Kamala Harris and came up through

257
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 4: the ranks in California politics the same time as Kamala Harris,

258
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 4: so he knows her well even though he's a Republican

259
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 4: and she's a Democrat, was on Greg Gutfeld the other

260
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 4: night on Fox and they were Greg Guttfeld was asking

261
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 4: him about you know, you know Kamala Harris, you know,

262
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 4: how smart is she or whatever, and he had a

263
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 4: variety of things to say that we found amusing, including this.

264
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 6: If you watch Kamala's history. She starts really strong on

265
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 6: a campaign. When she ran for president, she had the

266
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 6: best opening, forty thousand people in Oakland, the most people online,

267
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 6: and she never made it to Iowa when she ran

268
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 6: for US Senate and California, it's the top two. She

269
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 6: ran against another Democrat and they had to retool their

270
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 6: campaign even when the party in Doorster. When she ran

271
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 6: for attorney general, it was the one seat. On election night,

272
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 6: Republicans thought we won. We actually came close, but they

273
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 6: took up. And what I'm finding now is she started

274
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 6: strong here and you watch she's being outworked.

275
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: She can't talk to the press.

276
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 6: No way can you become the leader of the free

277
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 6: world and be afraid where a city council member takes

278
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 6: more questions than you do.

279
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just not right.

280
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought that was interesting pointing out her history

281
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 4: of running. Yeah remember her, Well, you mate probably don't

282
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 4: remember her launch. When she decided to run in twenty nineteen,

283
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 4: it was massive. I mean, she had as much winded

284
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 4: her back as you can ever get to kick off

285
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 4: a campaign and she didn't even make it to the

286
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 4: first contest.

287
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, if she ends up.

288
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 4: Being elected president, the most interesting story to history will

289
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 4: be if she'd had to go through a primary, there's

290
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 4: zero chance she would have.

291
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: Been the nominee, let alone president of the United States. Zero.

292
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 4: The only way Kamala Harris the human being, was ever

293
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 4: going to end up president the United States. Isn't some

294
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 4: weird deal like this where she's appointed the nominee?

295
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, over and over and over again, is Kevin indicated

296
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 3: she is. I'm trying to come up with the right metaphors.

297
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 3: She's like those Hollywood movie facades. If you squint your

298
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 3: eyes from the right angle, it looks really good and interesting,

299
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 3: but it doesn't bear up to any scrutiny at all.

300
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: She doesn't. Over and over again, when.

301
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 3: People get a little better look at her, they said,

302
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 3: oh boy, I'll pass she is.

303
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 4: I remember they used to say this about Hillary Clinton.

304
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 4: Hillary Clinton would go out on the campaign trail and

305
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 4: her numbers would go down in states the more she visited.

306
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 4: Kamala Harris seems to have that problem too, which I

307
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 4: suppose is why they're not letting her, you know, do

308
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 4: any press conferences or real interviews or anything like that,

309
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 4: or answering any tough questions.

310
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 3: If she were capable of answering questions. She would be

311
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 3: answering questions. She doesn't answer questions. What does that tell

312
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 3: you she's incapable of it?

313
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 4: Hey, we haven't mentioned this yet. That poor cake maker

314
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 4: in Colorado. God, dang it, he's been in the news

315
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 4: now for a dozen years. He got another three the

316
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 4: other day. You want to finally leave him alone. I

317
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 4: just wanted my cakes.

318
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: Didn't seem like that controversial choice of work. When I

319
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: started right Armstrong and Getty, I was.

320
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 4: Just watching some Erron de Santas, he's still doing a

321
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:14,479
Speaker 4: press conference right now.

322
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: Life.

323
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 4: He is so much more competent than practically anybody we've

324
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 4: had run for president in the last the quarter century.

325
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 3: Maybe I'm a fool. If I were his campaign manager,

326
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 3: I'd say, Ron, you do you don't think?

327
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: Just you do you? And we'll run twenty eight.

328
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, which I bet will happen anyway, although who knows.

329
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 3: So you may recall us talking about this yesterday, the

330
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 3: flap where Tony the couple of CBS News actually asked

331
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 3: some hard questions of Tan of Hashy coats the activists.

332
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 3: You know, a white supremacy guy, he's a genius. He's

333
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 3: just wrong about a lot of stuff. But it was

334
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 3: a great exchange of views. But it freaked out the

335
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 3: CBS newsroom that anybody'd ask hard questions of one of

336
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 3: the godheads of progressivism.

337
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,479
Speaker 4: I'd forgotten. I don't remember if I'd heard this or not.

338
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 4: The beginning of his book that made him the most famous.

339
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 4: Do you know that whole story he tells. He tells

340
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 4: of getting into an elevator with his young son who

341
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 4: was like four or six or something like that. Oh yeah,

342
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:27,719
Speaker 4: and some older white man saying hello to him, And

343
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 4: how I saw in that person's eyes the four hundred

344
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 4: years of racial abuse and systemic racism in the way

345
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 4: he looked at my son. It all played out right

346
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 4: there on his face. The person didn't say or do anything.

347
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 4: He just like interpreted a white person saying a load

348
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 4: to his son as the centuries of white supremacy in

349
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 4: the United States.

350
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 3: Hey, ton of Haji, Why don't you look up projecting

351
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:57,360
Speaker 3: in the psychological dictionary? Look up take it down a notch. Yeah,

352
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 3: send a load to your kid. This is a part

353
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 3: of the inner the initial interview.

354
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 7: Why is there no agency in this book for the Palestinians?

355
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 7: They exist in your narrative merely as victims of the Israelis,

356
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 7: as though they were not offered peace at any juncture,

357
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 7: as though they don't have a stake in this as well,

358
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 7: what is their role in the lack of.

359
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 5: A pel have a very very moral compass about this,

360
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 5: And again perhaps it's because of my ancestry. Either apartheid

361
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 5: is right or it's wrong. It's really really simple. Either

362
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 5: what I saw was right or what's wrong. I am

363
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 5: fascist against the death penalty. What the person did to

364
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 5: get the death penalty, it.

365
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: Really doesn't matter to me.

366
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 5: I don't care if they were selling a nickel bag

367
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 5: of marijuana or if they were a serial killer.

368
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: I am against the death penalty.

369
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 5: I am against a state that discriminates against people on

370
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 5: the base of ethnicity. I'm against that. There is nothing

371
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 5: the Palestinians could do that would make that okay for me.

372
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 5: My book is not based on the hyper moralesys the

373
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 5: Palestinian people.

374
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 3: So he's against that when it's Jews, not when it's

375
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 3: Muslims or other people of color. He's conditionally outraged by

376
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 3: that sort of thing.

377
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: But that's fine.

378
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 3: It was frank exchange views, as they say, and a

379
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 3: good one. But the CBS newsroom freaked out and had

380
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 3: this just Skin Crawley meeting.

381
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: You may recall we will still want I want.

382
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 8: To be clear, we will still ask tough questions. We

383
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 8: will still hold people accountable. That's part of our job too,

384
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 8: but we will do so objectively and that means, are

385
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,360
Speaker 8: you plain. We have to check up bias.

386
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: And opinions at the door and you can bare out, Michael.

387
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 3: That was Adrianne Rourke and then the brilliant Jan Crawford said, ah,

388
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 3: he did precisely what you're talking about, and it was

389
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 3: really good reporting. And as somebody who does interviews, I

390
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 3: don't know what the hell I'm allowed to do and

391
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 3: what I can't do now you're freaking us all out.

392
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 3: And the boss lady said, yeah, I'd like to talk

393
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 3: to you privately about this. Wouldn't even answer the question.

394
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 3: So amazing cowardice. Anyway, a couple of things developments were

395
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 3: or less. Matthew Hennessy in the Journal with a great

396
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 3: piece CBS to Tony Diacoppel, you.

397
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: Can't report in the newsroom.

398
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 3: The network subjects the anchor to a struggle session after

399
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 3: he dares to commit journalism on the air. You mentioned

400
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 3: Edward Murrow's admonition of young journalists, don't tell me what

401
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 3: you think, tell me what you know. And he goes

402
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 3: through the uh, you know, the particulars of the interview

403
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 3: and forcefully but respectfully, and how it was actually just

404
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 3: really good journalism and it was an absolutely fair chance

405
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 3: for mister Coates to defend his point of view. Details

406
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 3: are scant, but it seems that some staffers complained up

407
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 3: to chain about Decouple's treatment of mister Coates. Networks Brass agreed,

408
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 3: and the revered author of the case for reparations in

409
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 3: between the World and me should not have had to

410
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 3: answer tough and fair questions. But why that should be

411
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 3: the case wasn't explained. In the call, Miss Rourke assured

412
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 3: her colleagues that a strong rebuke had been delivered to

413
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 3: mister de Copple. He was reportedly upbraided for his tone

414
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 3: and body language during the interview and apologized. It had

415
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 3: taken a week to organize the call, and Decopel told

416
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 3: colleagues on Tuesday he regretted the position he'd put them in.

417
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 3: What position is that exactly proximity to real journalism? And

418
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 3: then this is the part that I like because this

419
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 3: is a journalism, a big time journalism.

420
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: Insider writing.

421
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 3: These self flagellating, penitential statements called to mind similar recent

422
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 3: staff revolts of other news organizations. Young staffers at brand

423
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 3: name outlets have hoo died it veteran colleagues for their

424
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 3: commitments to the old fashioned values of objectivity and neutrality.

425
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 3: Many gen z and millennial reporters don't think that's what

426
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 3: journalism is supposed to be. They don't want to report

427
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 3: on the world. They want to change it. The bad

428
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 3: news is too many executives are cowed by these upstarts

429
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 3: who are motivated by quasi religious fervor and convinced they're

430
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 3: on the right side of history. They're expert at stoking

431
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 3: outrage on social media and love nothing more than claiming

432
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 3: a scalp and your editors at many outlets live in

433
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 3: fear of their own staff.

434
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: I don't get that, but it's clearly the case.

435
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 3: This reminds me in an odd way of of all things.

436
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 1: It's I guess it's a thing.

437
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 4: Like I said, I don't get that, and I don't,

438
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 4: but I have seen people that seem to be scared

439
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 4: of their kids, So it must be a thing, but

440
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 4: a mindset.

441
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, that's an interesting point. You know, I'm gonna

442
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 3: I'll get back to the point I was about to make.

443
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 3: They how she paid Rourke paid lip service to CBS

444
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 3: News editorial standards than the brave Jen Crawford asked the questions,

445
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 3: uh that she asked Those in positions of power, He

446
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 3: writes in the American media should know better than a

447
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 3: cowtow to the cancel mob. If they won't stand up,

448
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 3: they should stop calling themselves journalists and stop invoking the

449
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 3: hallowed names of their predecessors. But in a weird way,

450
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 3: it reminds me of a discussion we had an hour

451
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 3: ago or whenever. It was about how the forces of

452
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 3: non escalation in American foreign policy forbade Israel time after

453
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 3: time from eliminating their enemies, their adversaries in the name

454
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 3: of negotiation and letting Hamas rule peacefully in Gaza and

455
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 3: the rest of it.

456
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: And what that has wrought.

457
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 3: And I'm quoting Douglas Murray more or less, here is

458
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 3: war after war after war because we have forbidden them

459
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 3: to win. And it's a similar sort of moral cowardice

460
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 3: that you're seeing among the brass in the newsrooms. And

461
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 3: maybe you know I haven't worked in a big time newsroom.

462
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 3: I wouldn't. I cherish the independence that we have. But

463
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 3: why don't you go ahead and stand up for what

464
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 3: you know to be right and and deal with the consequences.

465
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 3: If you're good at what you do, you'll find another

466
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 3: gig if your newsroom indeed rises up in like that

467
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 3: poor son of a go for the New York Times

468
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 3: who dared to run an editorial from a sitting Senator

469
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 3: Tom Cotton, and he got forced out.

470
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 4: I don't know, good lord, I didn't hurt Barry Wise,

471
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 4: she went from Kyle Jon to practically a household name

472
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:16,360
Speaker 4: and a hero.

473
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 1: Yeah.

474
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, love Barry and love the free press. Yeah, I

475
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 3: just that I have no truck for that sort of cowardice. Anyway,

476
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 3: this is an interesting development, and then I'll shut up

477
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 3: about this. I just I think this is so fundamental

478
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 3: to what it would take to straighten out the United States.

479
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 3: If we don't have journalists who whose greatest principle is

480
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 3: that I will tell the truth, not my truth, the truth,

481
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 3: and if the truth is kind of sixty percent supporting

482
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 3: my side, but you know the other side. As a

483
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 3: forty percent point yep, do it. I think that's the

484
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 3: only way we straighten our society. But anyway, I thought

485
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 3: this was quite the development. Sherry Redstone, who's the controlling

486
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 3: shareholder of CBS's parent company, Paramount Global, told well. A

487
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 3: source close to Redstone told the Free Press that Miss

488
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 3: Redstone thought that quote. Tony gave a great interview and

489
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 3: modeled what civil discourse should look like, and she disagreed

490
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 3: with the action the company took. She's working with the

491
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 3: CEOs to address this issue.

492
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: Love that.

493
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's great. Somebody linked this yesterday on Twitter. So

494
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 4: part of the pushback phony pushback was we should let

495
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 4: people come on with their books and just let them,

496
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 4: you know, explain what they're doing and not you know,

497
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 4: try to get in their faces about it. And somebody

498
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 4: linked this. So Gail King, who is the highest paid

499
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 4: person on that CBS Early show.

500
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: There at CBS, it was.

501
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:01,360
Speaker 4: Her interviewing the father of an eight year old Israeli

502
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 4: girl being held hostage by Hamas and he was on

503
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 4: there and tearful and upset and everything like that, and

504
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 4: Gail King pushed him hard. Innocent children, Palestinian children are

505
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 4: dying too. You call your child innocent, But they're also

506
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 4: innocent Palestinian children. Should we be concerned about them?

507
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: You know?

508
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 4: So she's gonna push that guy whose whose little girls

509
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 4: being held by murderous rapists?

510
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: Right, She's given some good, strong pushback to him. Yeah.

511
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: Make sure he claims that he's heartbroken.

512
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, make sure he doesn't just get away with me

513
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 4: and all heartbroken as a father.

514
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 3: Not only that, but so In a trailer for an

515
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 3: appearance on Trevor Noah's podcast, Coats accused Dakople of comment

516
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 3: during the interview and said a couple of stupid things.

517
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 3: But then as he was praising Gail King as a

518
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 3: great journalist and great interviewer, he said, Gail came beyond

519
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 3: the stage before we went on.

520
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 1: She had gone through the book.

521
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 3: And I'm not saying she agreed with the book, but

522
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 3: she was like, I'm gonna ask you about this, and

523
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 3: then i'm gonna ask.

524
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,199
Speaker 1: You about that. So let's get this straight.

525
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 3: Writes The Free Press, one journalist is raked over the

526
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 3: calls for asking tough questions, while another journalist previews her

527
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 3: questions and faces no repercussions, which poses a few questions.

528
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: Chief among them.

529
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,959
Speaker 3: Are their different rules for different journalists at CBS. A

530
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 3: former CBS journalist told The Free Press that if she

531
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,719
Speaker 3: was showing him specific lines of questioning in advance, that

532
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 3: would violate journalistic standards. Are they going to investigate her

533
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 3: and say what she did was not in keeping with

534
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 3: CBS standards?

535
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 1: I suspect not. Well, they weren't.

536
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 4: She wasn't planning on doing a journalistic piece. She was

537
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 4: planning on doing a book promotion piece. It's like when

538
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 4: we have our friend Tim sanderfer On, we don't like

539
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 4: come up with ways to really stick it to him

540
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 4: on his book, trip him off, and so we might

541
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 4: tell him beforehand, I said, a forehand, we might tell

542
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 4: him beforehand that yeah, we're going to talk about this

543
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 4: part in this part, that's what we think would be

544
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 4: interesting to our audience.

545
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: But we're there to help him promote his book. What

546
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: she get to do.

547
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 4: But clearly that's what Gail King's intention was was to

548
00:28:59,520 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 4: help He.

549
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: Agrees with him.

550
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, as opposed to how you then you show the

551
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 4: other side of the whole Israeli Palestinian argument.

552
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 3: Well, and as coach said, I'm just here to present

553
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 3: the Palestinian side, which he's allowed to do, and Jakoppel said, well,

554
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 3: there's a lot more to it than that, and they

555
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 3: parted in a gentlemanly way. One last thing, says the

556
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 3: Free Press. Let's just say we have pattern recognition around

557
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 3: stories like this. So when two sources at CBS told

558
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 3: us that this whole dust up involved the network's networks

559
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 3: Race and Culture unit, we weren't shocked. So they have

560
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 3: a DEI anti racism unit at CBS that was deeply

561
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 3: involved in all of this.

562
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 4: Well, they're going to do some training around this. Did

563
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 4: you hear that there's gonna be DEI training for everyone?

564
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 4: Including I suppose the head guy there that did the interview.

565
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 3: Quit, Tony Quit. There are a number of outlets that

566
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 3: would be delighted to have you. You're a serious journalist and

567
00:29:59,040 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 3: a good one.

568
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 4: A special Now, so the poor cake maker in Colorado,

569
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 4: is he finally going to be left alone?

570
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: Unless?

571
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 4: In case you didn't hear how this turned out the

572
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 4: other day and a couple other things, we'll finish strong,

573
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 4: coming up.

574
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 3: Strong.

575
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 4: Well, that's groovy. That's Cage the Elephant too. I just

576
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 4: saw up on the CBS News. Apparently they got over

577
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 4: some hatred of each other.

578
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: And some other and it can be a band again

579
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: that people go out and watch. That's cool.

580
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 3: I didn't know there was hatred. I didn't know that

581
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 3: any age fans in my house, I.

582
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: Didn't know that either.

583
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 4: But that's I'm glad that works out for a number

584
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 4: of bands that if there's enough dollars involved, you decide, Yeah,

585
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 4: I guess I don't hate you that much.

586
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: Let's make this m.

587
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 3: I know one of the key guys left because he

588
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 3: didn't particularly dig the touring lifestyle, but I don't know love.

589
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 4: That might be the sort of thing you say, if

590
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 4: actually blind the scenes, you don't dig the touring lifestyle

591
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 4: because you hate that guy so much, right exactly?

592
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: Touring with him because I hate him.

593
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 4: Yes, that reminds me of you ever actually listen to

594
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 4: the audio from the Eagles, like at the end of

595
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 4: their run before they broke up, and how much they

596
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 4: hated each other. Have you ever heard that? The one

597
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 4: where Glenn Fries and Uh and Uh and Felder are

598
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 4: talking about fighting each other. Oh yeah, it's hilarious and

599
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 4: it's hard to believe it's real. They're talking in the

600
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 4: mics but to each other in their ears while the

601
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 4: concert's going on about meeting each other after the concert

602
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 4: and fighting in the parking lot.

603
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: Wow, it's crazy.

604
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 4: That's how a little counseling here fellas. That's how bad

605
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 4: it had gotten with Eagles. And then they broke up,

606
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 4: and then they decided for money reasons. They did fourteen

607
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 4: years later. I think they came back and made gazillions

608
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 4: of dollars. But they were I mean Glenn.

609
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: Fryes, like in the microhone. Oh yeah, a few, a few, Yeah, Yeah,

610
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: I'll be there, you gonna be there.

611
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 4: I mean, while they're playing the guitars, like well, Joe

612
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 4: Walsh is soloing, they're talking about I'm gonna beat the

613
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 4: hell out of you.

614
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: Still playing the song though. Hey, they got a job

615
00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: to do, professionals.

616
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 3: I ran out of time for what I was gonna

617
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 3: do with my Eagle story, which was probably better anyway.

618
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 3: The Baker thing may be able to mention that during

619
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 3: the podcast, among other things, when will he tastes.

620
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: The sweet icing of satisfaction?

621
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 3: How about the sweet icing of being left alone?

622
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: Yeah?

623
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 8: Jack Clarks, Tom stop, Jack and Jose go And if

624
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 8: they don't get can they'll be back tomorrow.

625
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 4: I got another thought about the Eagles KG elephant thing,

626
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 4: but I'll put it in my final thought.

627
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.

628
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 3: Hey, let's get a final thought from everybody on the

629
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 3: crew to wrap things up for the day.

630
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: There he is, Michael Angelo leading the way.

631
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 3: Michael, Jack, I really liked the idea of a hot

632
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 3: woman living with you just to control your eating.

633
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 1: I think it's a great idea.

634
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,719
Speaker 3: She'd be great for the show, and I think you're

635
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 3: selfish if you don't do it.

636
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: She's a married person with a family.

637
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 4: But I still just didn't like the idea of just

638
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 4: you know, you're thinking you're going to take on this

639
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 4: project of helping me eat right.

640
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: You don't know what you're getting into. Indeed, it could

641
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: be a burly fellow or anybody.

642
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, come on now, Katie Green are esteemed to Newswoman

643
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 3: as a final thought, Katie, since.

644
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,959
Speaker 2: That's probably not going to happen, I do challenge you

645
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 2: to just eat clean next week.

646
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: Jack, I would like to do it for a whole

647
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: week to see how it.

648
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 2: This week, go crazy this weekend, then just do it

649
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 2: next week?

650
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: Uh Jack? Final thought for us?

651
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, So back on the cage elephant, getting back together,

652
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 4: putting their problems aside. The Eagles, Oasis did it recently.

653
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 4: Lots of bands have done that. You got artists who

654
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 4: are crazy. They're often young, which makes you more you know,

655
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 4: whatever you are when you're young, and.

656
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: Drugs or alcohols. That has a lot to it too.

657
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 1: You're out of your minds.

658
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 4: Hi, You're more likely to have a crazy argument over

659
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 4: something stupid when you're out of your mind.

660
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, agreed.

661
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 3: You know, as long as we're talking about music, my

662
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 3: final thought will be I've always said of putting together

663
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 3: and running a band, getting the music right is hard,

664
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 3: getting the people right is way harder.

665
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 4: Absolutely, it's amazing, especially when you're dealing with musicians.

666
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 1: It's not like you're some sort of troop of accountants.

667
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 4: That's what I liked about that Bono book that came

668
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 4: out last year. Year before explaining that whole thing is

669
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,520
