  Speaker 1: Hey, it's Mark Simone. Welcome to the Bonus segment. Just
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: for you podcast listeners, we give you an extra show
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: every week. So a lot of stuff happened this week.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: You know, CBS has a new boss, CBS News, Barry Weiss,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: and everybody thought there'd be a lot of changes at
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: sixty Minutes house cleaning. Well, it was our bloodbath this week,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: and a good one. Get rid of these fake news people,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: these slanted, biased fake news people. So they even went
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: all the way to the TAPA sixty Minutes the executive
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: producer Tanya Simon, daughter by the way of the old
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: sixty Minutes correspondent Bob Simon. But she's out. She's the
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: executive producer. Her number two is out. They've started to
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: get rid of a lot of the staff, some of
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: those correspondents. But the how's her name, Sharon Alphonsi. Anyway,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: she's been there for years, and that one when she left,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: put out an angry press release. Don't think this is
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: a normal transition. This is tampering. This is so they're
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: all in dignant CBS News that are all going crazy,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: and they'll yell and scream that why there was no
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: reason to fire anybody at sixty minutes. And the ratings
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: were even up nine percent this year. Yeah, okay, they were,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: but they've been down fifty percent since the good old days.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: But there was You had to get rid of these people.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: It's sixty minutes. It's supposed to be a news show,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: supposed to be down the middle. It was so slanted,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: so biased. You remember that famous Leslie Stall Trump interview
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: where she says there's no evidence of that there was
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: surveillance at Trump time. Of course there was, it was proven,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, just misleading the audience. And then there was
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the Trump lawsuit against sixteen minutes for some fake story.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: There's too much fake news. They got to clean it up.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: So Barry Weiss, the new boss, got rid of these people.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: She put a new guy in charge of sixty Minutes
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: that she worked with at the New York Times. He's
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: got a lot of experience in writing journalism, documentaries. He's
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: been a big documentary a producer of Netflix and other places.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: So at CBS, all these old fake news people are
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: yelling and screaming. This guy has no broadcast experience. Well, okay,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: but his experience is doing documentaries. What is sixty minutes
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: it's three documentaries. That's the show. That's the whole show.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: It's three that's the pieces that they run, three of them.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: They're little mini documentary. So if the guy's an expert
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: in documentaries, sounds to me like he's qualified. It's not
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: like the good old sixty minutes where it was our
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: old buddies, Mike Wallace and Morley Safer and Harry Reisner
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: and who else, Bob Simon, what's his name? Who's the guy? Oh,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I'm forgetting everybody's name. But then of course at the
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: end it was Andy Rooney who was do that little
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: piece at the end. There's nothing like it anymore. It's
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: just not the same. But you look back at the
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: old CBS News and most of those guys, we're probably
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: a little the left. Even the Charles Carlt and Eric
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Severaid and all, they were probably a little left, but
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: they were professionals. They capped at quiet when they were
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: on the air. Hey, Walt Disney Disney Company, you know
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: they own ABC. They're now trying to claim the View
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: is a news program with a bunch of clucking hens.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: It's a news program. They filed a petition with the
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: FCC to have it actually declared a news program, which
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: would The reason is it'll be exempt from the FCC
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: rules about having to give equal time when they have
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: a candidate on and so, in other words, if you
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: have Donald Trump on. In other words, if you have
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: somebody running against Donald for let's say, during the race
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: for president, had Biden on, then you would have to
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: have Donald Trump on. So they want to be declared
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: a news show like Face the Nation or Meet the Press,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: so they don't have to do that. But it's a
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: silly thing to fight for, because, first of all, it's
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: absolutely preposterous to ever even try to think that that
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: crazy gossip show is a news program. But also, let's
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: say you were forced to have Donald Trump on. Let's
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: say we're forced to have Jim Jordan on. Let's say
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: we're forced to have James Comer. What's the problem. These
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: are great interviews. You should be you should be thrilled again.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: But that's what broadcasting has become. Very very very very
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: one sided. Iran. We'll see what happens with the deal.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: You know, there's a guy, a number of Iranian terrorists,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: but there was one Mohammed bad jarrisadd Woud al Sadi's
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: thirty two. He's the one that pledged to kill Avanka Trump.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Serious terrorist and he's pledged to kill Avanka Trump. And
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: don't think President Trump and the administrations have their eye
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: closely on this guy. He's an Iraqi national. Remember Trump
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: killed Salomoni. This guy was a top Solomoni aide. But
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: they've arrested the guy. Now, they've captured this guy, arrested him.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: The Feds have this guy in custody. When they arrested him,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: on him he had a picture of a map showing
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: where Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump lived their house. In fact,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: there was a I guess he had drawn an X
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: on the house. So this is pretty chilling, this stuff.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: They've got the guy. He's in the Manhattan Detention Center
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: where hopefully he will never, ever, ever, ever get out
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Tiger Woods. You remember he was in rehab. He went
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: to Switzerland for his rehab and then all of a
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: sudden he was back. Nobody could believe it. It was
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: only there a few weeks. I think rehab takes a
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: long time. It's not three weeks. But there he was
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: back in Florida. Spotted in Florida. Well, okay, turns out
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: he came back to visit his girlfriend, Vanessa Trump, ex
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: wife of Donald Trump. You remember she announced she had
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: breast cancer. So apparently got out of rehab just to
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: come back when he got the bad news, just to
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: see her and give her support. So now he's left.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: He's back in Switzerland, back in the rehab, all right,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: So okay, that was a nice thing for him to do.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: You know that Luigi mangi own protests stuff. You see
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: these women, these wacko nut job left wing kook women outside,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: they're Luigi Mangion groupie. So there's one of them. They've
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: identified her. She's thirty two. You know, her father is
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: a big healthcare executive, works at CBS Health. I mean,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: this guy shot a healthcare executive, the healthcare CEO, because
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: you didn't like the healthcare industry. She's a daughter of
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: a healthcare executive. She's out there defending him, marching on
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: his behalf. So people asked her about it, and she said, well,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the healthcare industry is terrible. Could we better off with that?
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: It's they're just nuts, they're just completely absolutely nuts. Now
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: are you a white person, Well, by twenty fifty, you'll
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: be a minority that's right the way he is toatistics. Look,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: by twenty fifty, white people will be the minority in America.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: This is quite a change. In nineteen eighty, white people
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: were eighty percent of the population, but by twenty fifty,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: which would be seventy years later, the white population will
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: be only forty seven percent, and by twenty sixty forty
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: four percent. So if you're a white person, twenty fifty
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: is a long way off. It's like got twenty four
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: years from now. But you'll be able to say you're
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: a minority. You'll be able to get a minority loan
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: for your business and that sort of stuff. So it's
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: already happening in some states. Yeah, three states. If you're
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: in California, Hawaii, or New Mexico and you're white, you're
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: a minority, you're less than fifty percent of the population.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: But happening more and more. California obviously a total mass
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: of total disaster. You know, this crazy Gavin Newsom, and
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: they do these things just for photo ops, for to
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: look good to you know, rile up the base. He's
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: been going after Chevron. You know at the gas pump
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: prices in California are insane. You know, they've risen here
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: because of Iran, so they went up to four dollars
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: four fifty for seventy at one point. Prices are down. Actually,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: oil came down sixteen cents a barrel this week. I
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: think it's eighty six now a barrel. But in California
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: it's like seven dollars eight dollars nine dollars a barrel.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Most of that is due to Gavin Newsom and as
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: crazy Democrats. They had too many regulations on the oil.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: They shut down the refining so they don't have enough oil.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: They blocked pipelines from coming in, so it drove the
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: price of oil up. In California. They got more gas tax,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: oil tax, fossil fuel tax, more regulations than oil, so
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: that's how they got their prices up to eight dous
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: It's all his fault, but you know, Democrats don't know that,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: they won't admit that. They don't see any real news.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: So he's been putting signs all over all over the
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Chevron stations or near him, telling people to block Chevron stations,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: don't go to Chevron, and then Chevron announcing they may
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: just pull out of California. They might just leave California,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: and Chevron points out, when you attack the gas station,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: tell people not to buy Chevron at the gas station.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Chevron points out most gas stations, almost all of them
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: are small businesses. They're independently owned and operated. So you're
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: targeting a mom and pop business, a small business when
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: you go after a gas station. Chevron says, it's deeply unfair.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Can't believe politicians will do that. Fighting back on Newsom,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Newsom looks like he's slipping in the polls, looks like
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: he will go nowhere as a presidential candidate. Now, remember
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: when it comes to presidential races, we're two years out,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: two and a half years out. It's a long way away.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: And when you go two and a half years out,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: there's always some flag the pan pretty guy John Edwards
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: or Gary Hart. Theyre always look like they're going to
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: be They never ever, ever, ever get the nomination. So
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: remember Julie Andrews, Mary Poppins A Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Julie Andrews first public appearance in years. How old do
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: you think she is? Nope, ninety, she's ninety years old.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: All of a sudden, Hey, Rosie O'Donnell actually revealed big
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: secret that she had a facelift, talk about rearranging the
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: deck chairs and the Titanic. She had the cosmetic procedure.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: She said, it costs more money than she's ever paid
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: for a car. It's a lot. Your facelifts are a
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: lot of money. You're gona want the top guys, you know,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: like the top guy in New York. I don't want
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: to mention his name, but he's like one hundred and
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: fifty thousand for a facelift, one hundred and seventy five.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: They're expensive. Have you seen what she looks like afterwards?
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I no, No, she might be entitled to a refund.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Facelift is not the problem. A Ferrari announced their first
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: electric car. This is obviously ridiculous. I mean, it defeats
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the whole purpose of a Ferrari. You want to hear
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: the noise, you want to hear the power of a Ferrari.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: But they everybody's got to do this now. Some of
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: these companies, BMW, they got hybrid's electric. They're pretty good
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: at it. Obviously, probably Tesla the best electric car, but
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Jaguared So Ferrari, you have to get in on the act.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Most people to buy a Ferrari don't even know what
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: the hell it is. They're just buying it for the name.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: The way it looks, they're finally making an electric car
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: six hundred and forty thousand dollars, six hundred and forty
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars. But it looks like it's already a fail failure.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: There's not a lot of orders. It doesn't look good.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: It looks, as people point out, it looks like a
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: thirty thousand dollars Nissan. It doesn't look great now, believe
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: it or not. The problem the electric car doesn't make
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: any noise. Ferrari put in fake engine noise, so when
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: you start it, it makes some fake engine noise. That's
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: the other problem you're thinking about. Electric car makes no sound,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: which is quite annoying actually once you once you start
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: driving it. Hey remember the l IV, the Saudi Golf stuff,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: it's pretty much over. In fact, l IV Golf is
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: actually about to file bankruptcy in the United States. It's over.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: The Saudi's pulled out. It's the Saudi investment fund that
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: poured six billion dollars into it. They're done. They've decided
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: it didn't work. They're gonna pull out. It's all over.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: It's a Saudi thing. But they're deliberately coming to America
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: to file bankruptcy because the bankruptcy laws are better for
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: them in America, so though they'll file here. Meryl Streep,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: who would you picture her with? Who would you picture
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Meryl Streep dating? Who would you picture Meryl Streep with
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: in a restaurant? Kind of sitting close, kind of hugging,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: holding hands. I never would have thought this, Martin Short.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Apparently this is quite a romance. Meryl Streep and Martin
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Short on a dinner date in London, scene holding hands, snuggling.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: They're both seventy six years old. Wow, last person I
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: picture of Meryl Streep with. Hey, we're out of time,
• 13:11

• 13:13
