  Speaker 2: News on CBS Good Morning Yesterday. And the guy who
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: reports is really the silver haired guy. I can't even
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: watch him, but he missed a lot of points like
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Walter Cronkite a sound bited him once, didn't talk about
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: the guy who discovered CBS Sunday Morning. And you can
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: see the inconsistency of this awful. I used to listen
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: to the eighths out of New York all the time,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: but it they're always so bad.
• 1:02

  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't want to listen to the news, but
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: I wont No.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: It's a terrible. It's terrible. It's not nothing like it was.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: It's totally biased. It's just awful. That's why they brought
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: in Barry Weiss. Maybe you can get it back. It's
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: never going to be what it was, but get it
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: back in that direction. You gotta remember, back then, television

  Speaker 1: ned millions and millions and millions of you, you know,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Walter Kronkit, twenty million people who watch them at night
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: nightly news. Now you're lucky if you get four million,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: even these Sunday shows. You know, it used to be
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: ten million, twelve million, fifteen. Now the Sunday shows are
• 1:35

  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm upset with the state. They're allowing gouging to
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: go on. Where if you remember, during COVID, they would
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: prosecute anybody for gouging, and here you have the state
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: gouging these New Jersey transit writers who have to go
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: see that soccer game or the FIFA, which I care
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: less about, But how can they get away with gouging
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: at that percentage when it would be illegal for any
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: other entity.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Well, it is New Jersey. Did you ever see your
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: government there? Did you ever see these please balls you
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: got in that legislature? You ever see who's around the governor?
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Look at the governor. I mean, you can't expect much
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: out of these people.
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: We get what we vote for. We deserve it, that's true.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, thanks for calling, Mark. Let's go to
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Ed in Allentown, Pennsylvania. How you doing Ed?
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Mark, Thanks for taking my call. You made
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: me think of a personal best friend of mine who
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: died of food poisoning. Poisoning, and he had traveled to
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: China regularly. He had some contract business over there, and
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: he swore that the Chinese poison them, not if aspoovable
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: or not.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: It has happened badly. Although if you've been to China,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: much of it is the dirtiest place on Earth. It's
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: all kinds of pollution and crap and everything in the water.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: He said he loved it.
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: He said he loved it over there.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: But one of the reasons for my call is a
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: suggestion that maybe he could bring the Coceen Jeffries over
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: his food taster with him.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, Yeah, it is pretty filthy. I mean
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: there's parts of China, even major cities like Beigeting, where
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: you can't even see the air is so thick with pollution,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: and if you drink the water every day that you're there,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: you'll probably not live much longer after that. It's really
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: polluted over there. Hey, when we come back, we'll talk
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: to the greatest columnists in the world. Michael Goodwin coming
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: up next. Lots to talk to him about right here
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: on seven to ten wor
