A really well, at least somewhat encouraging update 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:13.679 to the whole CBS News Tony de couple a ton 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:20.360 of Hashi coats flap and that that awful skin crawling 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:24.400 afraid of their own staff meeting that we played to 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:25.639 the audio for yesterday. 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:27.440 A little update on that story. 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:31.360 A couple of stories worth just touching on, at least briefly. 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:37.400 Taiwan's new leader has taken office and made a speech 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:44.360 saying essentially Taiwan Well. He reasserted his stance on Taiwan's 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:48.640 sovereignty and that Beijing had no right to represent it 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:49.280 or claim it. 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:51.160 But he also called. 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:58.040 Yeah, Taiwan is determined to maintain piece and stability across 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:05.600 the Taiwan straight and achieve global security and prosperity. Taiwanese 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:08.120 security officials said this week that they expected China to 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:11.800 launch new drills in response to the speech, regardless of 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:17.480 what the leader said. Chinese military said it's drills in 0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:22.640 May were a strong punishment for separatist acts, to which 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:25.760 I would be tempted to reply, um. 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:32.480 Were separate is the thing? Lii I said. 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:34.840 The People's Republic of China has no right to represent 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:43.679 Taiwan in Beijing. Mao Nang, spokeswoman for China's communist totalitarian 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:49.360 Foreign Ministry, shot back at president lie quote. Taiwan has 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:51.760 never been a country and will never be a country, 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:56.520 she said during a regular daily briefing. Wellly, she's way 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.240 better than KGP because you understand what she's trying to say. 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:10.040 That is a flashpoint totalitarian biash. Moving along headline from 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:13.480 the Wall Street Journal, Companies are scrapping or rolling back 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:19.400 DEI grants, pullback an aid for black and Hispanic owned 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:23.400 businesses follows litigation from activists. They made a commitment, it 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:26.919 went away. That's some of the activists talking about it. 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:33.800 But yeah, the companies, the universities, the state of California. 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:38.240 There's a big program in San Francisco that's gotten a 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:42.800 lot of scrutiny too recently. They are all flagrantly violating 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:46.040 federal law through racial preferences. 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:49.000 Well, that's one of the great examples of the difference 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:54.320 you get between a a Republican or Trump led white 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:59.240 House and Kamala Harris DEI continues to be out there 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.080 and grow if Kamala's in the White House, or at 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:03.880 least that's what I should be trying to pull off, 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:05.520 and it runt if Trump's. 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:05.720 In the white House. 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:09.160 Yeah, and it's I get I suppose they are activists 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:11.239 in a way that people who are fighting against this stuff. 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:14.159 But to say, hey, federal law says says this, and 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:17.200 you're violating it like all the time, does that make 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:22.760 me an quote unquote activist? I suppose am I active 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:25.080 in this scenario? I think you know what I'm driving at. 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:28.400 Don't don't portray me as some sort of you know, 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:32.760 is zealot for wanting federal law that's voted upon and 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:35.839 judged by the judges. And we have elections and you're 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:38.760 familiar with the whole thing. Let's go ahead and follow it. 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:41.919 Says me, But anyway, corporate America is waking up to 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:45.919 the fact that their desperate attempts to seem woke so 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:48.320 nobody would tear them down the way could George Floyd 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:51.799 went badly awry, both in terms of law and ethics 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:54.320 and race and everything else. Now this is when you 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:58.919 can sink your teeth into jack Porch. Pirates are stealing 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:02.719 AT and T I fies delivered by FedEx. Thieves appear 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:05.080 within minutes or seconds to grab packages. 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:08.080 Police say the heists. 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:12.520 Use tracking numbers the key to these swift crimes. Investigators 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:14.520 say the thieves are armed with tracking numbers. 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:15.000 It's funny. 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:17.200 I'll bring this up because I was just about to order. 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:19.680 I decided I was just going to order the sixteen 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:22.440 promacs and have it shipped to my house through Best 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:23.160 buy or whoever. 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:25.360 But so they have a way to track it. 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:29.080 Another factor that makes packages from AT and T particularly 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:32.160 vulnerable is that AT and T typically doesn't require signature 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:32.760 on delivery. 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:35.080 Yeah, I don't want the signature. I'll never get my package. 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:36.120 That makes me so angry. 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:40.600 Let me know, I know, I know it. I agree 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:44.520 with you completely. If you work during the day, what 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:47.920 are you supposed to I don't know. At the same time, though, 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:54.440 I ordered rather a zoomy MacBook Pro for music recording purposes, 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:56.040 and they just dropped it on the porch. 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:58.160 Now I live in a hood where it's okay, But well, 0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:00.960 I like it as an option. Yeah, that's an option. 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:03.560 I've had it before where you can't get out of it. 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:04.280 It's very manding. 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:11.240 So doorbell video cameras show the thefts in New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virginia, Michigan, Georgia, Florida, Texas. 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:14.040 In short to the United States, the details are similar. 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:16.520 A FedEx driver drops off a box with an iPhone 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:18.840 from at and t that a person walks up, sometimes 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:22.560 wearing an Amazon delivery vest, and plucks the package off 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:23.640 the front step. 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:24.200 Wow. 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:26.280 The heightst can be so quick that in some videos 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:30.480 the FedEx driver and thief cross paths. Wow, they know 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:35.800 what's getting delivered in location. According to detective in Massachusetts, 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:38.840 they meet the delivery driver at the front door and 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.280 take it. But I still don't get how are they 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:44.400 getting the tracking numbers or how are they knowing because 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:46.040 that seems like the root of the problem. 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:48.560 You got to keep that private more privately. 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:51.640 Yeah, the two companies are say they're working with law 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:56.400 enforcement to investigate. Declined to disclose how many packages have 0:08:56.640 --> 0:09:05.600 been stolen. Uh, it's not clear to me where they're 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:10.000 getting these tracking numbers inside information. 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:13.240 I think it's Apple themselves that won't let you order 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:15.920 anything without doing that. And I had something I got 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:19.120 for my son and they delivered it. I wasn't home, 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:21.679 of course, and I called them and said, no, that's 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:22.760 the only way we do it. And I said, well, 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:24.360 then I can't purchase from you, and they said, well, 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:25.640 I don't know what to do about it. I said, okay, 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:28.199 we'll send it back. I'll buy it somewhere else. There 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:31.280 was no getting it delivered without right right and the 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:32.760 hole You got to be home and it's going to 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:34.720 come between eight in the morning eight at night. 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:38.720 Sure, that's my lifestyle.

Or or kids are running them around. 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:46.439 They mentioned that signatures are legally required for shipments of alcohol, 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:53.480 dangerous goods, hazardous materials, and pharmaceuticals. For other types of goods, 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:56.520 shipper typically decides whether it offer the signature option, which 0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:59.679 costs the shipper seven dollars and fifteen cents extra per 0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:03.199 deliver right, darn so. Chris Brown, who's a lieutenant with 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:06.480 the cops in Deer Park, Texas, said the suspects were 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:10.080 armed with inside information AT and T parcel tracking numbers. 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:11.439 They're working with AT and T. 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:14.240 To investigate how the suspects got that information. 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:15.360 That's the key to the whole thing. 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:20.079 Yeah, they've got We have no evidence of a breach 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:23.840 or a hack, said AT and T. Two teens who 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:26.439 they busted in Texas, a seventeen year old boy and 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:29.280 an eighteen year old woman. A seventeen year old serial 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:32.320 thief is not a boy, rented a car and spent 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:35.360 hours circling neighborhoods around Houston. Video from the dash can 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:37.160 of the reunld car viewed by the Wall Street Journal 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:39.560 shows a young woman picking a package, jogging back to 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:41.560 the car, driving away over and over it over. 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:42.160 Wow. 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:45.640 And those are like fourteen hour dollars apiece. Yeah wow, 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:47.800 and easy to sell. I'm sure. 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:50.480 Oh. 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:53.000 I'm looking at all the videos of this because they 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:56.920 have all sorts of porch videos, surveillance videos, and I 0:10:57.080 --> 0:10:59.160 just I really want to take a ball back to 0:10:59.240 --> 0:10:59.760 these people. 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:03.840 It's maddening. The whole delivery thing though, depending on what 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:04.520 your neighborhood is. 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:06.280 I like, I guess, but I've seen it before where 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:10.280 there's like it's constant a UPS truck and an Amazon 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:12.280 truck and then there's a fed X and the I've 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:15.360 had door dash people walking past an Amazon person, you know, 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:16.960 on the sitewalking right. 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:18.360 It's just it never ending. 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.400 Yeah, Katie, you had a package thief incident, didn't you, 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:23.360 not too long ago? 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:26.720 Oh yeah, it just got it got snatched because they 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:28.480 take the picture and it shows you it was delivered 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:30.400 and so it was obviously on my doorstep and then 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:33.960 no longer. But so at least I know with Apple products, 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:37.679 if you report it's stolen, Apple can actually make that 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:42.280 phone so it can't be used. So I don't know 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.200 how much benefit they would have from me. I don't 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:46.680 know much about Android, but I don't know the benefit 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:49.400 of stealing any Apple product and then trying to resell it. 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:49.920 Interesting. 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:53.440 Yeah, I want if I haven't yet received the phone, 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:56.160 I could give the order number, I suppose, and they 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:58.439 would have that information at Apple. 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:00.440 But I wonder how cumbersome that is. I don't know. 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:03.000 Yeah, I ran into that problem buying a phone off 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:06.079 of Craigslist like an idiot, and when I picked it 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:08.079 up and tried to activate it, they said, we're sorry, 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:08.840 this phone's stolen. 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:12.040 I was like, oh, ohodh. 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:16.720 At the risk of coming off as an angry lunatic, 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:18.400 oh we're running a little late, aren't we. I was 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:22.400 gonna say, if you've ever done any reading about why 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:25.600 they hanged people for stealing horses in the Old West, 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:29.120 because you need your horse, because your horse is really important, 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:31.160 and it's really really easy to steal you. 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:33.760 You just climb on them and they ride you away. 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:38.400 It's your own escape, your getaway vehicle, right, And it's 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:41.720 such a good deterrent to be hung for that. Well exactly, Yeah, 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:45.480 they made the punishment so draconian people wouldn't wouldn't do it. 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:50.160 Do I want to hang people for stealing iPhones off torches? Yes, 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:54.319 but I'm not going to say so how loud. Maybe 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:57.600 how how you have order in a society is known. 0:12:57.920 --> 0:12:59.520 This is not a mystery. 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:03.480 One of the few Sharia things that I'm into. You 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:04.560 didn't have to go there. 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.640 If you're going to take a hand, I think twice 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:09.640 before grab my iPhone. 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:13.240 We're a ball bat. Let's let we can talk over 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:14.640 the various possibilities. 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:19.520 Barbaric thought I was over the top, all right, who. 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:22.320 Had solved the problem? Though there's no getting around that. Okay, 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:27.160 more on the way, Hi, y'all doing. 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:30.240 Glad the hurricane wasn't worse, but it does take it 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:34.120 off the table as a presidential issue. I thought it 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:36.200 was going to be really, really bad. It might be 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:40.199 the thing for next week or so. I'm sure some 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:43.480 other stupid, stupid topic will end up being the thing 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:46.559 that we they talk about in political circles for the 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:51.760 rest of the presidential election. But Kevin McCarthy, former Speaker 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:56.280 of the House, Republican and Californian, who is the same 0:13:56.360 --> 0:14:00.240 age as us in Kamala Harris and came up through 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:03.400 the ranks in California politics the same time as Kamala Harris, 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:06.480 so he knows her well even though he's a Republican 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:11.240 and she's a Democrat, was on Greg Gutfeld the other 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:14.840 night on Fox and they were Greg Guttfeld was asking 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:18.240 him about you know, you know Kamala Harris, you know, 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:22.280 how smart is she or whatever, and he had a 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:25.520 variety of things to say that we found amusing, including this. 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:29.440 If you watch Kamala's history. She starts really strong on 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:31.800 a campaign. When she ran for president, she had the 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:35.360 best opening, forty thousand people in Oakland, the most people online, 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:38.200 and she never made it to Iowa when she ran 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.920 for US Senate and California, it's the top two. She 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:43.280 ran against another Democrat and they had to retool their 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:46.080 campaign even when the party in Doorster. When she ran 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:48.720 for attorney general, it was the one seat. On election night, 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:51.480 Republicans thought we won. We actually came close, but they 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:54.240 took up. And what I'm finding now is she started 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:57.320 strong here and you watch she's being outworked. 0:14:57.720 --> 0:14:59.040 She can't talk to the press. 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:01.800 No way can you become the leader of the free 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:04.920 world and be afraid where a city council member takes 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:06.000 more questions than you do. 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:07.960 Yeah, it's just not right. 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:12.080 Yeah, I thought that was interesting pointing out her history 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:14.520 of running. Yeah remember her, Well, you mate probably don't 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:18.120 remember her launch. When she decided to run in twenty nineteen, 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:22.640 it was massive. I mean, she had as much winded 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:25.440 her back as you can ever get to kick off 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:28.840 a campaign and she didn't even make it to the 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:30.120 first contest. 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:32.680 Yeah, if she ends up. 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:37.240 Being elected president, the most interesting story to history will 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:40.960 be if she'd had to go through a primary, there's 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:42.920 zero chance she would have. 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:45.600 Been the nominee, let alone president of the United States. Zero. 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:48.720 The only way Kamala Harris the human being, was ever 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:50.640 going to end up president the United States. Isn't some 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:53.400 weird deal like this where she's appointed the nominee? 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:57.480 Yeah, over and over and over again, is Kevin indicated 0:15:57.600 --> 0:15:59.440 she is. I'm trying to come up with the right metaphors. 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:03.880 She's like those Hollywood movie facades. If you squint your 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:07.520 eyes from the right angle, it looks really good and interesting, 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:10.560 but it doesn't bear up to any scrutiny at all. 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:13.680 She doesn't. Over and over again, when. 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:15.480 People get a little better look at her, they said, 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:17.560 oh boy, I'll pass she is. 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:19.560 I remember they used to say this about Hillary Clinton. 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:22.040 Hillary Clinton would go out on the campaign trail and 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:24.960 her numbers would go down in states the more she visited. 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:30.480 Kamala Harris seems to have that problem too, which I 0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:35.320 suppose is why they're not letting her, you know, do 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:38.200 any press conferences or real interviews or anything like that, 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:40.120 or answering any tough questions. 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:45.000 If she were capable of answering questions. She would be 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:49.280 answering questions. She doesn't answer questions. What does that tell 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:51.080 you she's incapable of it? 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:54.400 Hey, we haven't mentioned this yet. That poor cake maker 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:56.800 in Colorado. God, dang it, he's been in the news 0:16:56.800 --> 0:17:00.400 now for a dozen years. He got another three the 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:02.560 other day. You want to finally leave him alone. I 0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:03.560 just wanted my cakes. 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:06.480 Didn't seem like that controversial choice of work. When I 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:11.200 started right Armstrong and Getty, I was. 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:13.480 Just watching some Erron de Santas, he's still doing a 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:14.479 press conference right now. 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:14.840 Life. 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:19.240 He is so much more competent than practically anybody we've 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:22.400 had run for president in the last the quarter century. 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:25.679 Maybe I'm a fool. If I were his campaign manager, 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:27.480 I'd say, Ron, you do you don't think? 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:30.200 Just you do you? And we'll run twenty eight. 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:35.640 Yeah, yeah, which I bet will happen anyway, although who knows. 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:38.879 So you may recall us talking about this yesterday, the 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:43.080 flap where Tony the couple of CBS News actually asked 0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:50.359 some hard questions of Tan of Hashy coats the activists. 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:54.680 You know, a white supremacy guy, he's a genius. He's 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:58.240 just wrong about a lot of stuff. But it was 0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:01.119 a great exchange of views. But it freaked out the 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:04.560 CBS newsroom that anybody'd ask hard questions of one of 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:06.639 the godheads of progressivism. 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:09.479 I'd forgotten. I don't remember if I'd heard this or not. 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:12.600 The beginning of his book that made him the most famous. 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:17.159 Do you know that whole story he tells. He tells 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:19.800 of getting into an elevator with his young son who 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:24.000 was like four or six or something like that. Oh yeah, 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:27.719 and some older white man saying hello to him, And 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:30.680 how I saw in that person's eyes the four hundred 0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:34.960 years of racial abuse and systemic racism in the way 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:37.040 he looked at my son. It all played out right 0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:39.640 there on his face. The person didn't say or do anything. 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:42.720 He just like interpreted a white person saying a load 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:47.399 to his son as the centuries of white supremacy in 0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:48.199 the United States. 0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:51.880 Hey, ton of Haji, Why don't you look up projecting 0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:57.360 in the psychological dictionary? Look up take it down a notch. Yeah, 0:18:57.840 --> 0:19:00.640 send a load to your kid. This is a part 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:02.720 of the inner the initial interview. 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:06.920 Why is there no agency in this book for the Palestinians? 0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:10.520 They exist in your narrative merely as victims of the Israelis, 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:12.680 as though they were not offered peace at any juncture, 0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:14.480 as though they don't have a stake in this as well, 0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:16.400 what is their role in the lack of. 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:20.280 A pel have a very very moral compass about this, 0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:24.240 And again perhaps it's because of my ancestry. Either apartheid 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:27.040 is right or it's wrong. It's really really simple. Either 0:19:27.080 --> 0:19:29.600 what I saw was right or what's wrong. I am 0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:32.840 fascist against the death penalty. What the person did to 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:34.320 get the death penalty, it. 0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:35.040 Really doesn't matter to me. 0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:36.560 I don't care if they were selling a nickel bag 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:38.280 of marijuana or if they were a serial killer. 0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:39.800 I am against the death penalty. 0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:43.280 I am against a state that discriminates against people on 0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:45.760 the base of ethnicity. I'm against that. There is nothing 0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:48.800 the Palestinians could do that would make that okay for me. 0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:51.600 My book is not based on the hyper moralesys the 0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:52.560 Palestinian people. 0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:56.399 So he's against that when it's Jews, not when it's 0:19:56.480 --> 0:20:00.760 Muslims or other people of color. He's conditionally outraged by 0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:01.440 that sort of thing. 0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:02.240 But that's fine. 0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:05.359 It was frank exchange views, as they say, and a 0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:08.760 good one. But the CBS newsroom freaked out and had 0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:11.159 this just Skin Crawley meeting. 0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:13.840 You may recall we will still want I want. 0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:17.320 To be clear, we will still ask tough questions. We 0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:20.480 will still hold people accountable. That's part of our job too, 0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:25.840 but we will do so objectively and that means, are 0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:28.360 you plain. We have to check up bias. 0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:30.840 And opinions at the door and you can bare out, Michael. 0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:35.720 That was Adrianne Rourke and then the brilliant Jan Crawford said, ah, 0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:39.199 he did precisely what you're talking about, and it was 0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:42.760 really good reporting. And as somebody who does interviews, I 0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:44.679 don't know what the hell I'm allowed to do and 0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:47.240 what I can't do now you're freaking us all out. 0:20:47.960 --> 0:20:51.120 And the boss lady said, yeah, I'd like to talk 0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:54.040 to you privately about this. Wouldn't even answer the question. 0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:58.720 So amazing cowardice. Anyway, a couple of things developments were 0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:02.000 or less. Matthew Hennessy in the Journal with a great 0:21:02.080 --> 0:21:04.240 piece CBS to Tony Diacoppel, you. 0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:06.240 Can't report in the newsroom. 0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:10.200 The network subjects the anchor to a struggle session after 0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:14.119 he dares to commit journalism on the air. You mentioned 0:21:14.280 --> 0:21:17.280 Edward Murrow's admonition of young journalists, don't tell me what 0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:21.000
