  Speaker 2: It's a story you need to hear to believe. Then
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: grab your popcorn because there is more. I almost changed
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: gears and decided to address some madness that I saw
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: on the social media, some opinion stuff regarding Michael beckw
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: the lieutenant governor, who has put himself in the position
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: of saying, hey, if you're outraged by that, don't forget
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: to click.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Which is his goal.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Michael beckw With is not interested in being a lieutenant
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: governor mi Que beck With is interested in being a
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: podcaster and a social media influencer. And every single thing
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: he has done points in that direction. In that direction only.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Just does.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: But I said, no, no, no, I'm going to I'm
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: going to stay on target. I'm going to stay focused
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: on the subject at hand, and just a real quick
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: moment about this guy, Scott Pelly. And you say to me, Tony.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Scott Pelly, I thought he didn't matter. He doesn't.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I want to share with you how the left self soothes.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Scott Pelly was.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: One of the hosts there of sixty Minutes, and Scott
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Pelly didn't like the fact that Barry Weiss would come
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: on to lead the news department, and that a new
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: guy by the name of Nick Bilton, who I know
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: nothing about, was brought on to be executive producer of
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: sixty Minutes and accused them of murdering the network and
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: destroying the show.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: And Scott Pelly told Builton.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: That he has no business doing this, He's not qualified
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: those kinds of things. And they've still tried to find
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: a way to work with Scott Pelly. And Scott Pelly
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: got fired, and rightfully so rightfully so it's not his network,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: it's not his show. Never believe your own hype. Well,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: in an interview with The New York Times, Scott Pelly
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: explained to you why he got fired because this see,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know the correct terminology in the world of psychology, right,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: is it cognitive dissonance.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Is that what we're about to hear? What is it projection?
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: You tell me, what do you hope your departure does.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: What do you hope will happen?
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: My hope is that the leadership of Paramount we'll say
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: to themselves, Okay, this isn't working. We have respect to
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: journalists saying that there is a thumb on the scale
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: for one political party over another, and there's a subtle
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: political bias that I've never seen at sixteen months before
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: or at CBS News before. We can save this. It's
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: possible to land this plane. But right now CBS News,
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: in my view, is on fire.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Barry Weise was absolutely right to fire him. I'm sorry
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: it didn't happen six months ago. You think that now
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: there's a thumb on the scale now for those of
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: us who have been the victims, if you will, using
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: in its most loose and general term of media bias,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: this is not only laughable, this is surreal and it
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: is as perfect a reason to fire Scott Pelley, because
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: that is to be disconnected from reality, completely disconnected from
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: reality and from what is true. But let's now go
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: in a different direction with this. Let us say that
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: with the Ellisons now owning Paramount and with Barry Weiss
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: now in charge, and they're going to be more Trump friendly.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: I would say two things. First, I want news to
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: be news. I want commentary to be commentary. Secondly, seems
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: to work for CNN and MS now going the other way,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: So why shouldn't CBS do it?
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Do we really need another Fox?
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: That's the question they're asking over at CBS, do we
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: really need another Fox? And my answer is, let's find out.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: I don't think pushing away from leftism is putting your
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: thumb on the scale for conservatism. But hey, if that's
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: the way CBS wants to go and actually put their
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: thumb on the scale, let's see what happens.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Maybe it'll make them a whole lot of money. Scott
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Pelly is not the arbiter.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: And I'll say it again, the reason that you don't
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: have to care about Scott Pelly is that who cares
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: about Scott Pelly? I don't care if he has a job.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Nothing matters with this guy, and it shouldn't you. But
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: there are two ways to take this. First is the
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: laughable construct that Pelly puts together here, which flies in
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: the face of everything that you see and know. And
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: then there's the other way to take it, which is, yeah, okay,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: they're doing this. It was fine versus CNN. It was
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: fine for MSNBC, which is now ms Now. If it's
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: fine for them, it's fine for CBS, it's fine. ABC
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: has done it with the hiring of George Stephanopoulos. Never
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: mind everything else they've ever done, They've done it over
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: their NBC. I'll get into the President Trump walking off
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: of Christen Welker said on Meet the Press, which Welker deserved,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: she deserved. There comes a moment where the interview is done.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: You don't understand that the California vote is absolutely being stolen.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: What proof do you have. We're watching it happen. That's
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: the proof. Every day.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: It's another batch of votes every day. Well, we can't
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: count in one day. We need to take our time.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: It's allowing votes to show up seven days, ten days
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: later and still be counted. We're watching the fraud happen
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: in real time, and people are like, you can't prove
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: the fraud.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: All right, We're done with you. We don't have to
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: talk to you.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: To quote the Jerky Boys, I don't have to talk
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: to you jerky We move on.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: By the way, who had me quoting the Jerky Boys today?
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: One?
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: No one. That's what I thought. MATC. Bear has traffic
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: on the fives and my shoes fell off. What's going on.
