Pratt and Hilton Closer to Runoff, and CBS News WAR Between Pelley and Bari Weiss, with Adam Carolla | Ep. 1331

27:43They get out of college, their first job isn't very good, and they have no choice but to move to a community that may not be at the top of their list for their long-term living, but they go someplace where they can afford it and build themselves up. And if you happen to fall on hard times in LA and you lose your job and you can't get another one, you could either live off the public dime forevermore because that's an option for you, or you could go to a community that's a little bit more reasonable. You don't actually have to go right to the street as she would like to pretend. Here's a guy, this is making the rounds online.

28:16Something you said about Karen Bass reminded me. His name is Doug Allen, and he's the producer behind the hit show Entourage on HBO, which is based on Ari Emanuel's role as a crushing mega agent and his stars who he represents. And here's what he said just yesterday. It's at six. The L.A. Times gaslighters. It's weird. One of 15 cameras that I now have at this house. Two German shepherds, three legal guns. Five years ago, didn't lock a door here. But you know what happened? two animals invaded my house. And no, I'm not racist because they were wearing masks. I don't know if they were white. I don't know if they were Jewish.

28:53I don't know if they were fucking rabbis. I know they were animals because they invaded my house. I know I don't care what their excuses are like a lot of you fucking care. I know invaders of homes should get 20 years. But I'm not paranoid, so I don't believe your bullshit about the stats and the crime because everyone in my neighborhood has got the same problem. They're fucking all putting cameras and hiring security guards because we're all getting broken into. It's not made up. It's not false. And this city has collapsed in the last five years. There is no fucking denying it unless you have an agenda.

29:24And I don't know what that is. So right now you're putting people in the same position that you did with Trump, who I did not vote for, by the way. You put them in by making sure we had no fucking options. OK. Yeah. Amen. Right. Sing it. But I'm sure he speaks for a lot of frustrated left-leaning people in L.A. and California. I got to say, I was at Pratt's party last night and I ran into a ton of people. First off, it's weird being in L.A. and having a bunch of people who agree with you in the same place because that's very rare for me. When you're you. When I'm me. And I always am. but I ran, it was a weird thing.

30:11I was like, there was a lot of black people. There were a lot of Hispanic people. They're all like, I agree with you a hundred percent. We got to get Pratt in there. This is nuts. And I was like right in the middle of Hollywood basically. And I was like looking around, I spoke and I won't say who their husbands were because they were, they'd asked me not to say, But I ran into multiple women whose husbands were very prominent comedians and entertainers and household names, legendary type names. And they were all in on Pratt. They voted for Trump. They disagree with their husbands insanely. And there's a whole group of them.

30:53And they're on text threads with other wives and other. And I'm like, I can't even believe you people exist. And they're like, oh, yeah, there's a lot of us. We're not down with any of this. And I'm like, oh, it's like some kind of quiet, secret underground Murano thing going on. And I couldn't believe it. I'd never seen it before. But there are a lot. And that number is growing. I'm not surprised because I think moms care about safety. That is one issue that can unite left and right. We want our kids to be able to have safe schools, safe travel to and from schools. We do not want them getting attacked by criminals in their beds or their homes.

31:38Or when they get off the school bus, to have to step over zombies holding hypodermic needles that they might get stabbed with. I mean, no mother wants that. And, you know, while the dads are the protectors of the family, the moms are mama bears over the children and will fight most dangers that they can identify. And in L.A., it's tough to miss. Like, listen to that guy, Doug Allen, what he was saying. So I'm sure they're feeling it, even though abortions always at the top of the list. They know that's taken care of in California. They know they're not going to lose their right to abortion if Spencer Pratt becomes mayor.

32:12That's not something a mayor controls. So, yeah, why wouldn't you? You might. I think there's probably a secret Pratt vote. Same way there was a secret Trump vote or reluctant, you know, where they don't tell the pollsters. They don't tell anybody, but once they get in there, they pull the lever. Yes. You mentioned his party last night. Here was his final messaging going into or or was it today? Actually, you know, it was when he found out that he was in the second place position as of now. Anyway, well, let's hope he stays there because that'll move him on to the general. Here's five. Obviously got one in five more months of me exposing all the failures of our mayor.

32:52So it's going to be a fun ride. I hope she's ready. Are you ready? I mean, I was born for this, clearly. All right. So he's right. God wanted it. And let's just check in with how Team Democrat is doing. And Karen Bass, who decided to spend her final hours on this race with Kathy Griffin. And see if any of this messaging is familiar to you at all in Democrat politics. Adam, Here we go. South seven. I really think a lot of the adversity comes your way because you're a black woman. It seems like the city council can be hostile towards you as well as L.A. Sheriff's Department and LAPD. What it's like dealing with such maybe non-diverse groups as law enforcement, although they are diverse.

33:43But there's maybe some white nationalism in law enforcement is my opinion. think the greatest misunderstanding though is the fact that there's no way a city or a state or a county has power over the federal government. People would like for me to make LAPD arrest ICE officers, but what they don't understand, it's not that LAPD is giving me a hard time. LAPD does not have the power to do that. It's very important that I do everything I can to protect our immigrant communities, but it's also important for people to understand what I can do and what I can't do. All right. Bunch of thoughts. Bunch of thoughts.

34:28Yeah, please. Okay. This thing where, first off, people need of color when you're being called, you know, all this race hustling is going on and they're calling LAPD racist or white nationalists or something. Stop nodding to say no, that's, That's not the case. It's majority minority. Stand up for them. Yes. Why do every, all the black politicians are like when they're going, the country's built on racism and slavery and they just go, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah. It's like it's bobblehead night at the Obama library. I don't know what the reference was, but stop it. Just say, no, you know what? That's not a situation.

35:13I'm black. I was voted in as mayor. So I don't know what racism you talk about. But listen to me. Tom Bradley is black. Tom Bradley was the mayor of Los Angeles when 1973, before you were born, Megan, before you were born, my dear. Don't argue with me. I got eyes. Before you were born, we had a black mayor in 1973. 73, over 50 years ago. And Tom Bradley was mayor from 73 to 93. He was mayor. I mean, I was literally like in the fourth grade, maybe the third grade when he became mayor. By the time he got out of there, I was like working on a construction site with a beer and a cigarette in each hand.

36:09Like that's how long this guy. But L.A.'s racist. But the voters are racist and the city council's racist still. And that's why there's been any blowback on Karen Bass. Right. And everyone liked Tom Bradley. He was a Democrat. He was competent. He was a Democrat in the old school version of a Democrat, which is sensible and pragmatic. And he ran the city and it was fine. And nobody said nobody said a word about his color ever. So that's number one with this stupid race hustle, which is insane. Also, we got our first female black mare, and it didn't work out. Her name is Karen Bass. We did the experiment.

36:56Great. Check the box. We had our first female black mare. She sucked and ruined the city. Now let's move on to the guy with the British accent and see if we can get something done or Spencer Pratt. Yeah, those two guys. I like, I mean, on the statehouse level, I like how it's looking. I'm thrilled that Steve Hilton appears, at least as of now, to be securely in the top two. And that Tom Steyer doesn't look like he's going to make it. Thank God, despite his plea that he would, his promise that he would ride the D. I mean, by the way, that's not all. This is the other thing. So that was his closing message.

37:33And then on top of that, TMZ got its hands on video of him singing with a bunch of drag queens in West Hollywood. the night before the election. Look at Satvor.

38:12I'm so embarrassed for him. You can't say you're going to ride the D and sing with the trannies and actually try to tell us that you're not going to back down and you're tough. These things are incongruous. Voters understand there's a lie happening here on like a visceral level. And I actually am kind of encouraged that he's been rejected, God willing. I mean, the vote's not done, but I think as of now he's been rejected. that's a good sign, Adam. You know, like this isn't working. This particular lane has been defeated as a viable way to win election, even in California. Yeah, Tom Steyer's like a chicken in every pot and a dildo in every nightstand.

38:56He's a weirdo. He's a billionaire. Let me tell you something. If I was a 70-something-year-old weirdo billionaire, I would just go buy Epstein's Island and call it a life. You know, just call the life. What are you doing? Same. Me too. I'd be sitting on the beach at St. Bart's, you know, watching the boats roll in. I would not be dancing with a bunch of trannies, which is just a naked, you know, attempt at pandering to a certain crowd in California. And I love that it's been rejected. He, so far, God willing, it's been rejected. Sadly, it was not rejected in the case of the vile, reprehensible, disgusting, weirdo Scott Wiener, who did manage to advance in the primary for Nancy Pelosi's soon to be vacated seat.

39:52He's a state representative right now, and he's managed to advance to the general election for that seat. And that's very unfortunate because he is truly a devil. I can't stand this guy. Here he is in May 2026. Could be could be a Tom Steyer event. If you look at this soundbite. Sodate.

40:20It's an enormous tranny. I think we're doing about him.

40:30Darius a wiener is a girl's best friend. There may come a tag girl who spends all his millions of fun people. All right, we get it. We get it. This is an expansion campaign event. That's enough. I got it. But for the listening audience, it's yet another tranny who's in baby clothes. It's like the trans baby is a thing now where he's got like the little pink ruffled, like little pants. You put on a girl, like a toddler in a dress. And they love to infantilize themselves so that people want to, what? I don't know. Like they're promoting pedophilia and trans. I don't know what they're doing. I know it's sick.

41:12Scott Wiener is sick. He's sick. And he's going to win that seat, Adam. I just imagine like reanimating John Wayne and Charlton Heston and going, let me tell you guys what's going on in your city in 2026 and your state. And they'd go, what is it? I go, well, most of the democratic politicians are talking about the trans issue. And they'd be like transportation. Good idea. Finally going to widen that four or five. No, no, this is something you guys never heard of. This is dudes who tuck their junk between their legs and mints about, and they're fighting so they can do it in front of five-year-olds.

41:56And they'd be like, what the hell is going on over there? And I'm like, they all went nuts. I don't, again, I don't know how big a constituency there is for the trans. Like how, you act like these people are 80 % of the country or something. Like these are, it's a small number of mental patients who want to terrorize kids in libraries. Why is this your hill to die on? I have to say, though, on the subject of whether we've made real progress on this front, notwithstanding Scott Wiener and the way Steyer spent his final days, we are making some progress on the LGBTQ fight. I'm all for the LGs. I don't really believe in the Bs.

42:47If you're a B, you're really just an L or a G. but whatever. I'm for the L's and the G's. Fine. But the TQs, it's a different matter. And for the first time in years, we're seeing very little on the pride front as we celebrate Pride Month, because it's not enough to be like cool with somebody being gay or lesbian. There's a certain faction of this group that wants us to really celebrate, as Roger Ailes used to say, where you put your pecker. You have to celebrate it. Like, I'm so thrilled you put it there. It's a no. I don't need to be celebrated for my choices in the bedroom, and I don't need to celebrate anybody else's.

43:31Now, GMA, Good Morning America, apparently didn't get the message, and that's no surprise because, of course, this is a Disney property. It's the Disney family over there at ABC. And so while we've had good things like Target, for once, not really leaning in. The tuck-friendly bathing suits with extra crotch coverage that they had back in 2023, that's not really taking over anymore. So that's good. It appears that they've calmed down. Now, Good Morning America, different story. Hold on a second. I think we've got an example. Here's SOT24. We're kicking off Pride Month with Tori Johnson and two business owners that we love.

44:20Jason Wu, the founder of Jason Wu Beauty, and Christian Siriano, the founder of Runway. Two incredible products that we're featuring today, Tor. Oh, yeah. And so we're starting with this is not just like a celebrity brand. This is like the real deal, clean and effective results that you're going to see and feel. Chris McMillan, right, making his product debut here.

44:46Okay, now we're doing like Pride Salsa. All right, all right. Welcome back to GMA. That was an amazing performance. So let's take a look at our GMA Pride camera. It's Ezra Sosa from Dancing with the Stars. And here's his message. Hey, Ezra. What's up, Pride Salsa? It's Ezra Sosa from Dancing with the Stars. And I have a very special message for you guys. Wait, Ezra, why are you doing that? Why don't you just come out and tell us in person? Come on out, Ezra. Come out, Ezra.

45:21So I wanted to donate$10 ,000 for you guys.

45:29For Pride Salsa. You know how many butt plugs you can buy for$10 ,000? It's a lot. By the way, I forgot to tell you, over at Target, on their homepage, on day one of Pride 2026, They have a USA section with straight, white, blonde people who are all part of the same nuclear male-female-led family front and center. So that's my evidence that Target has gotten the message since the days of the Tuckett bathing suit, which appear to have disappeared, at least as far as we could find or tell. So that's Target, but GMA and Disney, different story. Pride Salsa, 10 grand. I don't know what that's going to do.

46:16You know, I hate all of this stuff. I hate all the, you know, black month, the gay month, the trans month. I don't want any of it. I don't like any of it. I think it always sends a message that we need to fix things that don't need to be fixed. Like every single Martin Luther King Day speech since I've been alive has always been, you know, we've made a lot of progress, but there's still a lot to go. Like we still need every single you can see it every single year into modern times. They go, we've come a long way, but we got a long way to go. And it's like, tell us specifically what you're talking about in terms of a long way to go, because that says to me, like, you're still like kind of Jim Crowey, you know, and maybe some of you can vote.

47:11But you'll never get there. You'll never get there. And also at this point, who's holding you back? Whitey? The government? Like, you tell you have the long way to go is your families are effed up. That's what's in your culture screwed up. And you need to work on that. Somebody needs the honest conversation you want to have around race is that conversation. Not a long way to go to get past racism. A long way to go. Well, look, I mean, every time you take one step forward, it does feel a little like two steps backward. I would not be talking about this person if she didn't put her out there. But J-Lo has got a child who is female who now was, quote, non-binary, which, again, is not a thing.

47:56and now has come out as fully trans. So now she wants us to call her a him and a he, and J-Lo's down for it. Here's her message about her, about, well, Pride Month, SOT30. Hi, beautiful people. It's Jennifer Lopez, star of Office Romance, and I am here to wish you a very happy Pride Month. Let's be honest, you deserve all 12 months of the year, so make sure this one is extra, extra special. In fact, you officially have permission to skip work. Just tell your boss, Jennifer Lopez said it was okay. I am sure they'll understand. But in all seriousness, I hope all of your months are filled with love, laughter, joy, and chosen family.

48:41And if you're not out yet, that's okay. We're here and we're waiting for you whenever you're ready. No rush, no pressure, just love. Now let's get loud and proud this month. I love you. Happy Pride. Oh, OK, so here's the problem, Adam. J. Lo has spent far too much time in front of the camera looking for accolades, snaps, actual snaps with, you know, camera lenses and snaps like you go, girl, and far too little time at home. Otherwise, she wouldn't have this problem with her daughter, who is now so desperate for attention that she's declared she's no longer going to be Emmy, J-Lo's daughter. She's going to be someone named Oscar Muniz and will officially become, quote, a man, which is not possible.

49:26This is an 18-year-old twin daughter of hers. It's not accidental, if you ask me, that her ex, Ben Affleck, is having the same exact issue with his daughter, who's pretending to be a man. Yeah, this is like they need to go home and spend time with their children who are clearly desperate for attention. Your thoughts. All right. Million. First off, she says pride should be all year round. Yeah, that sounds awesome. That'd be awesome. Pride month, which is pride year. And then it just rolled into the next year. How about we alternate? Like, I'll give you guys pride year and then the next year gets to be straight dude year where you guys shut the fuck up for 10 minutes.

50:08and just leave us alone and don't make us look at you. Okay. And by the way, we got to get loud and proud. Oh, believe me, you're loud. I hear you in my sleep. So enough of that. Check. Check that loud box. So as far as this goes, a couple of rules I'd like to institute because we used to have trans. We had cross-dressers. We had pre-op. We had a bunch of different labels. So we knew where everyone was at. So like, I'll give you an example. When the New York times talks about Robert De Niro's daughter, they say he, because he, she decided she was a, he, so they want to respect that. So when the New York times writes the article, they go, Robert De Niro's son decided he would trans and, and cross.

51:06And I'm like, well, now I'm confused. Is it his son? Very. His son? No, his daughter, you idiots. Trant. His daughter became his son. But stop saying his son. Because now when you say, like, we go, they'll write an article. Go, J-Lo's son transitioned. I'll go, oh, so now it's a girl? Right. So we got to have some ground rules because I'm swimming here in your transing going on. She's a dope. She did a whole Super Bowl halftime show that was going to be dedicated to getting kids out of cages at the border. Remember that? And all she did was shake her fat ass the entire halftime show. So shut up.

51:48She needed to be thinking about her kids back at home. More with millionaire and true Hollywood star Adam Carolla after this. Don't go away.

53:06back with me now Adam Carolla he's host of the Adam Carolla show which you can find over at adamcarolla.com and on all podcast platforms and on the Megan Kelly channel on Sirius XM 111 in the mornings okay so we've got to get into the drama happening over at CBS news because they're imploding over there. And when things are going poorly in the ratings, that's when everything falls apart. You know, I mean, it's no accident that there's so much infighting right now and all these firings, because if they were at the top of the ratings heap, they'd be getting along and nobody would be finger pointing, but they're failing.

53:47And I'm sorry, but they're failing because CBS is a dinosaur that doesn't understand new media or what people want. And And then the person they brought in to fix it knows nothing about broadcast journalism. Nothing. Literally nothing. Barry Weiss knows nothing about broadcast journalism. She's never worked in television. So I'm sorry. You may think she's great. You may love the free press. That's not the person to fix a television news outlet. And only the Ellisons, who don't seem to know much about television news either, would be so misguided as to think somebody who is not of TV, in TV, or has any familiarity with it would be the one to fix it.

54:29On top of that, it's been very clear to yours truly from the beginning that CBS of all outlets would never accept an outsider. It has to be somebody from within their ranks that is the most insular group within television news. You couldn't find one more insular. That would be more averse to an outsider being parachuted in and dropped in at the top. And you can say all day long, oh, screw them, the talent. Who do they think they are? They're not the executives. They don't own it. Fine. You can say that. But what is your news organization? Unless you're going to fire them all, you're going to have to find a way to get buy-in from the ones who are there.

55:09And it's just not going to work to shove it down their throats and tell them that they have to like it. And it hasn't been working. The ratings are in the basement. They've never been worse, literally never been worse. For the morning show and the evening news show, they're both failing mightily. And 60 Minutes is now in trouble and has never seen so much turmoil. So what's, and just for the record, back in December, this is December 11th of this year, I predicted that Barry Weiss, who was newly installed over there, would wind up firing Scott Pelley. I knew that she would fire him. I knew this would not work out.

55:47I also said at the same time that they would eat her alive from within, which is happening. But this is what I said about Scott Pelley December 11th of 25. Scott Pelley now gets honored for the very report itself. And this will be him at the awards with his glasses down at the end of his news. I was right all along. I'm better than you. and we all know that because I host 60 Minutes. And if Barry is the woman I think and believe her to be, she will fire his ass before we are halfway through 2026. That's my prediction. He's fucking out of there. Look forward to that news. And it came. It came today.

56:30He's fired before we are halfway through 2026 and Barry let him go. And I don't blame her one bit. It was the right call. He is arrogant. He's a prick. His programming and his just narcissism and closed mindedness on the air entitled him to a firing long, long ago. So this is overdue. But having said that, the way this shit is going down is completely unprofessional and Bush league. And I'll just tell you one thing, Adam. So if all the drama spilled out into the public and the new executive producer of 60 Minutes, who's brand new there, is not respected. And nobody likes him either. He's never done any broadcast journalism either.

57:12He was from the New York Times, which is a print publication. He ran their documentaries unit and did some online videos here and there. This is not going to be respected at CBS News at 60 Minutes. Get it through your thick heads, OK? There has to be some massaging of the team of talent and producers who are there or fire them all. Do one or the other. But don't just try to say, I will parachute in somebody with zero experience and you will respect him or else. That's just not going to work. That's not how it works. Anyway, so they try to parachute this guy in. He's not respected. And he and Scott Pelley clashed.

57:50Scott Pelley wanted to know in front of the whole staff, demanded answers on why this guy and Barry fired the old executive producer and all their top, most senior correspondents last week without cause. It's been a bloodbath over there. And he's the managing editor and felt like he had the role of saying, how about some explanations? How about some answers to the rest of us here who are angry? And instead of engaging Scott Pelley at all, and trust me, I can't stand Scott Pelley, but there is a way of managing talent. And the best in the business, like Roger Ailes knew how to do it. Instead of managing him and actually trying to speak with him, it appears they just told him to fuck off.

58:32Okay, it's fine. That's fine. But you are guaranteeing yourself a media scandal. And I'll just tell you something about Roger, okay? Because I was very close with Roger. Yes, he sexually harassed me when I was young in my career, but we got past it and we were very close for my tenure at Fox. And I watched him and I was his sounding board for many, many big decisions at Fox News. And he would almost never fire anyone. The only people he would really fire were people who tried to hijack him, who were like, I want you to double my salary or I'm out of here. I'm going to MSNBC. And he would say, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

59:10By the way, I have the same policy. Anybody who tries to hijack me and or else, bye, everyone's replaceable, get out. I will never be hijacked. But what he would do with talent he cared about or producing staff he cared about who had to be moved out of their position because they weren't making it in the ratings or their show was failing for whatever reason is he would make them think, that they had gotten something close to a promotion. He would give them a better title and he would usually give them a raise, even though they were getting a demotion. And you know what that did? It kept them quiet.

59:45I can count on one or two fingers the number of times that we had like an open talent war that spilled out into the news media in any big, huge way while I was at Fox. And it's because Roger knew how to manage talent. And Adam, it's not because he, Roger absolutely could have ruled with an iron fist. He was the most powerful man in news. Everybody at Fox News knew he was the only man in charge. He was it, not the Murdochs, him. And so we all had ultimate fealty to Roger, but he still took the effort to manage us because he knew it was bad for Fox to have the entire staff fired or the top people quit in a fit.

1:00:29And so even the ones who he didn't personally love and whom he was demoting, he would make them feel special, valued and cared about for the good of the organization. What you have over at CBS News right now is amateur hour in the management ranks. And that is why we are seeing this very public dispute play out before our very eyes with Scott Pelley's confrontation of this new guy making the news. Now, Barry issues a public statement trying to claim that they worked with him. The new executive producer, this Nick Bilton from The New York Times, issues a public letter explaining how Scott Pelley wouldn't dialogue with him.

1:01:11We shouldn't be hearing any of that from him. And now Scott Pelley's firing back with his own missive, reiterating what allegedly happened in this meeting. We can get into all these details because they're interesting to us as outsiders. But that's my take on it. It's been mismanagement from a team of newbies that doesn't know what they're doing and doesn't have the confidence to act like true bosses, both for the good and the bad. and a prick, arrogant, narcissist jerk who's been in the top role at 60 Minutes for so long that he thinks whatever he says goes and has the temerity to question any editorial changes that come along with new management, some of which have been very good, honestly.

1:01:52The attempt to make 60 Minutes somewhat more fair and balanced is a good thing. It's a noble thing, but he can't have it. And that actually seems to be what he's truly objecting to. Any attempt to massage the editorial at 60, which he thinks he has total control over and he's learning the hard way, he's wrong. So your thoughts on all that. I know Barry. I like Barry. I've done some events with Barry. She is not experienced in that department. I completely agree with you on that. Scott Pelley, I watched his commencement address at Harvard or wherever it was, Brown, and he's an arrogant douchebag.

1:02:31and he's a blowhard um wake forest i wake forest i used to watch 60 minutes religiously of and then i stopped watching because they became woke and left-leaning and you know when uh leslie stall was talking to trump sir sir you can't prove that i was like okay so you're no longer it can't be verified what an idiot she is it's no longer a news organization in my mind. So I just stopped watching. Why would I, why would anyone watch it when it's so clearly leaning to the left? Now you have to know that if someone like Barry Weiss shows up to an organization like this, they're not saying let's do a little nip and let's do a little tuck.

1:03:18They're saying we need to break bones and reset them. And Scott Pelley and the rest of those types are not going to go without a fight because they're leftists. And even though they claim to be journalists, my favorite part about Katie Couric or any of these idiots is the second they go out on their own, we see just who they are after claiming their whole career to be fair and balanced. You know what I mean? And like. It'd be like me going, well, I only turned gay after the divorce. It's like, did you? You were 51. Really? Well, I was married for 22 years. Really? You weren't gay in your 40s? Nope.

1:04:02It's like, come on. So all these people. Yeah, Jim Acosta. They all magically get super leftist and super liberal and super Democrat. It's like, well, that's who you always were because you're in your 50s, 60s. when you're doing this job. So spare us this fair and balanced BS with as a journalist. I like when they go, you don't know how I vote. Yes, I do. I listened to you all day back on Trump. This is insulting. So they probably should have just hired Barry Weiss and then just cleaned house day one. Just said, look, we're not going to have internal battles, especially with the left are so righteous.

1:04:45They really look at it as their job to battle everyone who may be perceived as anything right of center. They probably should have just shaken the whole thing like an etch-a-sketch and just went, we're starting brand new. Yep. I agree. That was an option. But if you're going to stick with the current staff on air and off, then I'm sorry to inform you, they do need to be massaged. Yes, they do. Not Scott Pelley. I'm not saying exactly like go kiss Scott Pelley's ass. But for the good of the is it good for CBS News to have this fight spilling out into the papers, this nasty, petty back and forth?

1:05:23It diminishes Barry Weiss. It diminishes this new guy, Nick Bilton. It diminishes Scott Pelley. All of them. It makes all of them look bad. And if you were managing an organization, you would understand that's not good for the company. It's not good for the shareholders. And therefore, I might have to eat a piece of humble pie in order to maintain an outward facing humility and stability. And that is why instead of going in and trying to fire the because the one guy, Don, what was his name who left, Steve? Oh, right. Oh, Bill. It was Bill Owens. Yeah, sorry, sorry. Bill Owens left. and it was this big performative resignation and they all liked him, but they were all super sad.

1:06:10And then they put in this longtime CBS guy's daughter as the new executive producer. And she did have some support because she was like this sort of lifetimer. And really, I think it was probably Scott Pelley running 60 at that point. So they had some continuity and they had some support going internally and 60 was chugging along in the way these leftists over at CBS wanted it to chug. And what you should have done, Barry and those who are making these decisions, is if you wanted to change the makeup, if you wanted this woman out, she should have been given a promotion and ideally a raise to go run the documentary unit.

1:06:51That's where everybody goes. Okay. Whatever. Find a way of doing it. Roger was more clever than that, but you don't have to be. some way for them to save face so that you haven't humiliated women like Sharon Alfonsi. I'm no fan of Sharon Alfonsi. I thought she was an absurd correspondent. But the people inside 60 loved her. OK, the people inside 60 loved the interim executive producer. They love the other woman who got fired. So you need to manage this by letting them save face, letting them participate in where they're going next. And those people, trust me, at CBS, think that Scott Pelley is great.

1:07:31He's been there, what, like 30 years? They think he deserves some measure of respect. I don't share in that. I'm enjoying watching him twist in the wind. But that's not how they feel inside CBS. So if you have responsibility for managing CBS, you need to manage this situation in a way that it stays as relatively smooth and quiet as you can. Instead of getting your back up that he disrespected you and then issuing your public statement. And then it gets a back and forth every second of which you're losing market share and respect. So it's a management fucking nightmare. Now, back on the subject of whether Scott Pelley should have been there at all, Adam, the answer is no, no.

1:08:13He helped ruin 60 Minutes and CBS. He was no Mike Wallace. He was no Ed Bradley. This guy, I could be here all day. And we actually did this one day. We took up a whole hour showing 60 Minutes clips and what they have become. And it's absolutely shameful and a shadow of its former self. But let me just give you this one of Scott Pelley. The audience knows what I'm about to show. It is when he had on the Moms for Liberty founders, a great and noble organization, and tried to dismiss their concerns about disgusting, like, graphic sex books and LGBTQ advanced graphic books making their way into elementary school and middle school and, of course, high school.

1:09:03School libraries. Watch. Parents send their children to school to be educated, not indoctrinated into ideology. What ideology are they being indoctrinated into? Let's just say children in America cannot read. They often dodged questions with talking points. You're being evasive. 21 % of Hispanic students are reading on grade level. What ideology are the children being indoctrinated into? What is your fear? I think parents' fears are realized. They're looking at these books where sexual discussions are happening with their children at younger and younger ages. Tiffany Justice read from sexually explicit books written for older teens, but found in a few lower schools.

1:09:48Most people wouldn't want them in a lower school. But in a tactic of outrage politics, Moms for Liberty takes a kernel of truth and concludes these examples are not rare mistakes, but a plot to sexualize children. He's such a dope. Adam, a case went up to the U.S. Supreme Court not long after that, where it was acknowledged by the Supreme Court of the United States. that these books are making their way into young children's school libraries to the point where parents needed to have an opt-out option, which the Supreme Court found constitutional on religious grounds. Did Scott Pelley go back and update his reporting to apologize to Moms for Liberty for wrongfully chastising them for making these claims, which were acknowledged by the Supreme Court of the United States?

1:10:50Did he acknowledge to his audience that he had misled them? No, he didn't. And so I have zero, zero tolerance for his waxing poetic about the editorial changes coming to 60 Minutes and how they're being. It's so wrong and he doesn't want it touched. So it's like there's to me, there's no one to root for here because he's awful and was he had no business being the main anchor at a property like 60 Minutes or at least the old 60 Minutes. And the way that CBS management has handled this has been abhorrent, too. It's been wrong from the start. You know, my favorite part about all the explicit material in the elementary school library is when one of the moms tries to read one of the books that's from the library in front of Congress.

1:11:37And they tell her we don't allow that kind of language here in these in this house. And I'm like right in front of these adults, in front of these. and then average age, you know, 64 and a half. We don't allow this, but we're arguing to put it in the elementary schools. But this whole thing, it's kind of that Scott Wiener thing too. It's like, I don't know. Why do we have to have this argument at all, all the time? You know, it's like, well, the trans story hour, it's not only for the kids. There's some adults there. It's at a library. Sure. Or it's like, do we have to keep arguing this insane point that we just don't want kids exposed to graphic things at a young age?

1:12:24Can we just leave it at that? Or do we have to just keep arguing about this? Yeah, no, we do because of 60 Minutes, because of its editorial take, which, let's face it, has been in desperate need of correction for years now. So I actually, I mean, I do applaud the effort to try to right that ship, but there's a right way and a wrong way of doing it. Just because I said I would tell you what's being said, there was this open letter by this new EP to Scott Pelley, which reads in part as follows. I started this job excited to collaborate and to benefit from the wisdom and experience of the 60 Minutes veterans with you among them.

1:13:05For that reason, one of the first things I did in my new role was to call you and talk and invite you to dinner. It is a profound disappointment that you rejected that overture and chose ambush instead. Yesterday, you hijacked my first meeting with staff to disparage me, my qualifications, and my intentions with remarkable incivility and contempt. I welcome a diversity of viewpoints and respectful debate among the team, but this was nothing of the sort. Yesterday's performative display of hostility enacted in front of the staff instead of in a civil private conversation demonstrated that you have no interest in contributing to the future success of the show or approaching my new tenure with a mind open to collaboration and progress, blah, blah, blah, blah.

1:13:44I mean, this is so defensive and beneath and executive. You don't, and then he fired him. You don't do that. You say, dear Mr. Pelley, with the participation of senior management at CBS News, this is to inform you that your services are no longer required. You are terminated effective immediately. That Nick Bilton is the boss move. And it was up to your superiors because you're not his boss just because you're the EP of 60. You're not. You've been there two minutes. He's been there almost 40 years. You're not. But his superiors needed to handle him directly and never should have put these two together without somebody being there.

1:14:23And Barry didn't show. and Scott Pelley clearly had not been managed. And now Barry tries to tell the staff at a morning meeting over there that Scott has been let go. She says, I know I speak for myself and I hope I speak for everyone here when I say, I'm only interested in working in a newsroom that's built on trust and mutual respect. We cannot do our work without it. That foundation was broken on Monday and despite our attempts to engage with Scott Pelley and find a way back, unfortunately, we weren't able to do so and we had to part ways. We didn't want it to happen, but that's the path he chose.

1:14:56That unfortunate outcome does not discount from the amazing contributions and work he's done for CBS in 60. Now he comes out. I'm saddened to see the transcript of the CBS News morning editorial meeting. Barry Weiss knows what she said is not true. In the meeting on Tuesday in which I was effectively fired, there was no effort of any kind to find a way back. As she said, at no point did anyone in the Tuesday meeting suggest that there could be steps taken by either side that would lead to a resolution. Weiss and Tom Shebrowski, that's her number two, were openly hostile from the start. Firing was raised by him in the first 15 seconds.

1:15:28No CBS executive at any time suggested a way back. To say so now is disingenuous and they know it. In fact, everyone refused to answer my questions. I asked her a number of questions about why she fired the entire senior staff of 60 Minutes a few days before and without cause. I'm not answering that question, she said. I asked why she didn't come to the 60 Minutes offices to explain her actions. I'm not answering that question. Why did she fire the executive producer? I'm not answering that question. Why did she fire Cecilia Vega? I'm not answering that question. Why fire Sharon Alfonsi? I'm not answering that question.

1:15:59Throughout the meeting, the CBS executives were abrupt, dismissive, and uninterested in dialogue. Suddenly, and to my surprise, Chabrowski declared, this conversation's over. Why, I asked. I'm happy to answer your questions. This conversation's over, he repeated, raising his voice and standing to show me the door. I'm happy to keep talking, I added. No constructive dialogue was allowed by the CBS executives at any point. I was stonewalled for about 10 minutes and then for no apparent reason. This conversation's over. I'm pained that the staff of CBS News was misled on Wednesday morning. These executives cannot gain the trust of the staff with lies.

1:16:30This is antithetical to everything we stand for and reveals contempt for what journalists do. I don't know how they get out of this now. I really don't. I don't I don't I have no love lost for Scott Pelley whatsoever. But the relevant point here is that's not the way the staff inside the building feels. So they're in the midst of a civil war.

1:19:36Our friends across the pond are in a mighty struggle, Adam, because they've decided free speech is officially a thing of the past. And so is accountability. The murder of Henry Novak has turned into something beyond one crime. This 18-year-old kid on his way home who got stabbed by a man who was Sikh and was carrying a set of knives on him, which is allowed some knives under British law, depending on how long they are. There was a real question about whether the knives he had were legal. and he stabbed Henry. And as Henry lay dying with five stab wounds in him, Vikram Digwa, the man who stabbed him, claimed that he was the victim of Henry's alleged racism, of which there is zero proof, zero evidence in the record that Henry did anything or said anything racist other than the bullshit claims of his murderer.

1:20:34And there's videotape. Henry was videotaping the moments so we would know prior to his murder. The cops show up and instead of getting Henry the help he needed as he lay there bleeding, they told him he hadn't been stabbed, they didn't call an ambulance right away, and they handcuffed a dying man and told him he was fine. The tape was released yesterday. It's the day before yesterday. It's an outrage. It's actually hard to watch. And so far, all we've seen is one of the cops involved under enormous pressure by the community, was allowed to retire. And then late yesterday, we got word that one had, quote, resigned.

1:21:13No one's been fired. No one's been charged. And by the way, if you retire or resign, you likely still get your pension and all your benefits. No one's been fired and no one has been charged with accessory, with criminally negligent homicide, with anything. We had a legal panel on yesterday that actually saw a number of crimes that they had potentially opened themselves up to. And now there is true. There's outrage over there. There were protests for most of the day yesterday. I'll just give you a flavor of some of the protests and those speaking out.

1:22:00Here's death. Yes. I'm not going to do it meanly. Justice for Henry! Justice for Henry! Justice for Henry! Justice for Henry!

1:22:17The police are getting out of numbers now.

1:22:23A little bit of police brutality. They're chucking the stuff away over the people's sergeants. There we go.

1:22:34Wow. Okay. And now, okay, so now this is actually an update. Per the constabulary that's overseeing the relevant police force, they confirmed that only one of the officers involved in the case has resigned. Okay, so the other one didn't retire. Only one has resigned, while the other three are still serving. All of them are being treated as witnesses. The force said the officer who resigned did so at the end of 2025 and not as a result of this incident. Henry was stabbed in December of 2025. So we really have zero accountability. Now they're saying that the police internal investigation, they plan to report back on it within the next three months.

1:23:22Doesn't take that long. Your eyes and ears are really all you need. And there's been a dispute breaking out between the political leadership where Keir Starmer, who said nothing about this murder, nothing. December, January, February, March, April, May, nothing. It wasn't until we finally got a verdict. He didn't even say, I'm so sorry this has happened. You know, I condemn the violence and the crime, whatever, nothing. Now he comes out finally and says something in Henry's memory. and you've got Nigel Farage, on the other hand, whose star is on the rise over there in the UK. And Starmer goes out and decides to issue a direct attack on Farage, condemning the violence which broke out at this protest in Southampton we just showed you, telling the British public that this is, quote, not the time to rage, which was a direct response to Nigel Farage, who yesterday issued an emergency address to the nation in which he said the only way Britain should respond to this killing is with pure, cold rage.

1:24:23And that's what we're seeing on the streets right now, Adam, because the British people have had enough of assuming the white man who's dying in front of the cop's very eyes must be the perpetrator and bad guy because he's white. And the brown man standing with knives and claiming he was the victim of racism might in fact be the criminal who caused this whole thing and just took a man's life, who you're watching die before your very eyes. All right. Well, lots of thoughts. To progressive people, Democrats, if you said this guy threw a racial slur at that black man, he dropped an N-bomb, so the black man stabbed him, their thought on that was, well, that guy should have never said anything.

1:25:14I mean, they actually think that it's okay to perpetrate violence upon somebody if somebody said something that was racially offensive to that group. So they're sort of down with the cause that way, which is a weird thing. Like, they'll do it all the time. And I'll go, you understand, no matter what somebody says, that doesn't justify stabbing them, punching them, pushing them onto train tracks, whatever it is. Like they look at that as a legitimate alibi. Like, yeah, I stabbed the guy. He called me something I didn't like. So and most a lot of white progressives will side with the person of color in that case.

1:26:01Also, this isn't so different than what goes on in sanctuary cities. You know, there's always some poor person, some citizen who gets stabbed or shot or beaten by somebody who's illegal, who shouldn't be in this country. And then, of course, the politicians have to side with the person they're protecting because they're in a sanctuary city. So there's an interesting relationship. The news outlets are progressive, you know, so they have to defend these people. And then the politicians are the ones who are defending them and bringing them into their cities so they can't apologize or say anything about it.

1:26:42So if ICE shoots a white person, they have to do nonstop, endless coverage on the white man or woman that ICE shot. But if a black guy stabs a white kid, they go radio silent on it. Now, Europe is like a little foreshadowing of what we're asking for here in a lot of our major blue cities. You guys are letting in a bunch of people from bad cultures who let their knives do their talking. You've decided to treat them as victims. They catch whether it's Somalia, Somalis in Minnesota or this guy, they figured out real fast. Play the race card and you'll be protected by these politicians. So we're importing this into our country as well.

1:27:35It doesn't end good because these people come from countries that are failures because they're flawed, because their culture is a mess. And then we bring a bunch of them and we put them in any given city and then they metastasize and they start breaking off. and they take over the cities. And then of course the city is ruined, just like their country is ruined. I think this is about, this is like we're at a boiling point from how many years now of demonizing white men? Yes. That's what's causing the rage on the streets. That's why Nigel Farage says this is a moment for rage. The white man was innocent.

1:28:26He didn't say anything racist. And to your point, even if he had, it wouldn't justify his murder. It's almost irrelevant. But he didn't. There was a tape from his own phone. Believe me, if they had Henry Novak saying anything racist, we'd know. He didn't. he ran into a bad man whose skin happened to be brown and who was Sikh and who was covered in knives. And he stabbed Henry Novak. I don't know why. To this moment, I have no idea why he did it, but he did it. He wasn't sorry. He didn't tell the cops when he knew they were confused about whether Henry was in fact dying. He just let him die, which is why he's now going to go to prison.

1:29:09His mother covered up the crime and hid the murder weapon. She's also been found guilty. And the British populace understands that the police and the authorities involved in this case would be reacting very differently if the dead man who was ignored as he suffered to death in handcuffs were black or brown and the man standing over him with a bloody knife were white. They know they and the fact that they've done nothing to these cops. And now we're saying, well, in three months, we'll have a ruling for what? How does it take three months? It could take three days to investigate this. You know exactly who was involved.

1:29:52The police behavior is all on body cam. We've seen it. What do you need to investigate? You know exactly what happened here. So it's an outrage. And and the British populace is sick of this shit, Adam. They didn't investigate. the Muslim rape gangs. They didn't care that these young white girls were being brutalized in the most awful, unspeakable ways possible. They didn't care about that. They don't care about this. They've demonized white men for over a decade now. They've had it. They've had it. They proceed this way at their peril. And by the way, not for nothing, but Keir Starmer and all the others in power right now all took a knee after George Floyd made it into a huge thing immediately.

1:30:37How outrated wait for a three month investigation or a trial. Trust me. They got down on the knee immediately and started condemning racism and so on. So like all these protestations of like, there's a process, let it play out our lives. Yes. Well, listen, we just lived through four years of dopey Joe Biden saying white supremacy was the biggest problem this country face. And then his FBI director would get up there and say the same thing. We're living it as well. And, and so there's a symbiotic relationship between the politicians and the press, the politicians lay this stuff out. Like, you know, uh, less crime is committed by our immigrant neighbors and everything.

1:31:23And then all the newspapers and outlets and 60 minutes and all the other woke news agencies then also echo that. And so then if there is a situation like this, they all circle the wagons. And instead of doing their job, they try to protect themselves. So the politicians are trying to protect themselves and the news outlets are trying to protect themselves for spreading the lie initially. And then it's a two-parter. You have to sweep under the rug anytime there's a situation where black kills a white. And then if there's a situation where white kills a black, no matter what the circumstances are, even if it's self defense, you have to build that up.

1:32:10So it's kind of a seesaw. You have to depress one side of the story and then you have to search endlessly for anything that, oh, there's a, you know, there's a crazy story about five, six years ago in Oakland, a black man hung hoops on a tree at the park. So he could exercise in the park and the white female mayor of Oakland at the time announced that this was a hate crime. And the black guy said, no, no, it's not a hate crime. I put those hoops up and I hang off of those hoops. And I, that's how I work out at the park. And she said, I'm calling in the DOJ and we're going to investigate this as a hate crime.

1:32:57And the guy said, why do you have to investigate it? I already told you. And she's like, you can't make assumptions. It's a crazy story. Your audience needs to look it up. It's about five years ago. It's when Oakland, it was right when Oakland was bottoming out because you had an in and out franchise that was moving. CVS franchises were closing. The A's were moving out. All your, the Raiders, move, move, and all this. And she wants this special, a special unit to investigate a hate crime over workout apparatus at a park. So they have to find it wherever they can find it. And then they have to sweep it under the rug when it actually does happen.

1:33:41And it happens a lot. And know this insanity of like, these immigrants commit less crime. Who started that? And who believes it now? Yeah. Yeah. The messaging now coming out, I told you what Keir Starmer is saying. It's just, I mean, it's, he doesn't understand how angry people are. He doesn't understand why they're so angry. He truly is hashtag part of the problem. He really, he doesn't get it. He's like a Nancy Pelosi type. Right. A kneeler, you know, like self-flagellating. Yes. And it's just not right for the moment. He's not tapping in. like Nigel Farage is getting it and he feels and it's authentic that they're they're beyond being pacified that they're very angry and they want to see that you feel it too and Keir Starmer doesn't he doesn't feel this the way he felt George Floyd that's why he's not able to sell it and here's the home secretary in the UK Shabana Mahmood by the way this person spoke out right away after George Floyd this is what this person said after George Floyd many constituents have been in touch with me regarding protests across the USA after the murder of George Floyd.

1:34:54I share their anger at this unspeakable outrage. Hashtag Black Lives Matter. See if you can detect a switch in tone in the latest messaging from Mahmoud. His murder at the hands of Vikram Digva was a horrifying act, falsely accusing him of racism. It was an evil act. Let me also be clear about one other thing, a dangerous undercurrent that I have seen in the reaction to this awful crime. Threats against police officers are utterly unacceptable. Misinformation and inflammatory commentary is making a dreadful situation even worse. Yeah. The language police would like to chastise the outraged people about, you know, stay within the lines.

1:35:43OK, I don't I don't remember this woman coming out and saying, maybe don't burn your city down, Minnesota's citizens in Minneapolis. Maybe, right? She doesn't care. She doesn't actually care about inflammatory rhetoric at all, only when it's on an issue that's near and dear to her heart, in which case we have to be word policed about our outrage over letting the white guy die from his stab wounds. Then she's got to step in and remind us of the decorum responsibilities. By the way, you know, you really could use George Floyd and sort of J six and maybe COVID origins to figure out how insane people are.

1:36:22Like George Floyd was a junkie who OD'd on fentanyl and was a career criminal and no other culture would embrace this guy. Now, white people don't embrace him either. They're just pretending to, but black people, this is your hero. That'd be like me going, you know who I love? Joey Buttafuoco. That guy's Italian. I'm Italian. If you watch what you say about Joey Buttafuoco, like he's a dope, he's a criminal. That's insane. You should get as much distance as you possibly can from George Floyd, whether you're in the black community or you're in the white community and you're kissing the ass of the black community who's turning George Floyd into a deity.

1:37:11That's insane. And especially that it made it across the pond and that you guys would take knees for this guy. It's totally and utterly insane to worship at the altar of George Floyd. And by the way, if you think J6 was a legitimate insurrection, you're nuts as well and lying. And if you think COVID came from a wet market and not a lab, then you're nuts and lying, too. It's three questions. We can just if you answer those three questions, I can figure out whether to believe you or not on anything. Yeah, that's so true. Whether you're a sane, honest person. Right. Well, is this person sane and honest?

1:37:54I give you Jill Biden. Yes, we're back to Jill Biden, who's still making the rounds on her view on her book. She went on The View and said the following and sought 13. And he'd given so much of himself. And to see you even saying, like, I thought he was having a medical episode. I was concerned. Was there any part of you that went into protection mode of like, Joe, you can't keep doing this. Like, this is they're taking so much from you. Doctors told me he was fine. I'm not a doctor. I mean, I am a doctor.

1:38:27Unbelievable. Great. Unbelievable. She admits it. Finally. We know. Oh, we know. All right. So everyone knew. Remember they were doing those cheap fakes. Remember they were trying to sell those shots of Joe Biden drifting off at the Juneteenth jamboree on the lawn or wherever he was doing with the thousand yard stare. And they were going, they're going, that's a cheap fake. That's a cheap fake. And I was like, I don't even understand what that means. And they're like, well, it's edited. It's a piece of videotape, but it's edited. It's not the whole tape. And somebody was trying to pass that bullshit off on me here in my studio.

1:39:12And I said, you know, the videotape of P. Diddy kicking his girlfriend in the hall of the hotel by the elevator? And they go, yeah. I go, that's an edited piece of tape. It's not the whole. the whole the whole tape is 700 hours long that's just the clip where he kicked her by that's a clip of him doing that in a surveillance tape that's on a loop 24 7 are you suggesting we needed to watch the entire year's worth of tape or can we just watch a cut of him kicking her ass for 45 seconds because that's what we're looking at with joe biden this insanity i was on bill Mars show years, you know, I don't know.

1:40:00It was like four or five years ago or something like that. And, and they said, is Joe Biden going to run for a second term? Do you think he's going to run? And I said, run, he can't walk. And everyone looked at me and I was like, you guys don't see what's going on with this guy. It's super apparent to everybody. And it now is super apparent that you are lying or to cover for him. And the fact that you're trying to wordsmith get your way around this is insulting. It really is. She's a witch. She is insulting our intelligence. Yeah, she's a bitch. And here's further evidence of it. So not only does she push this bullshit on us and expect us to swallow it, but she's out there once again, by omission, taking shots at her own granddaughter.

1:40:49Hunter Biden has a daughter by the name of Navy. We've interviewed her mother here on this program. That's hurtful to see, you know, a matriarch of a family who is supposed to bring a family together purposely exclude someone, part of that family, part of that bloodline. And that's something that someday my daughter will read and my daughter will see. It breaks my heart to know that it will break hers to read and see the things that she's going to see about being excluded. And she's going to wonder, you know, why? All I can do is, you know, be there for her when she does, when she is old enough to understand these things.

1:41:36I have to tell her, you know, I can't explain, I can't tell you why. I can't explain other people's behavior for you. All I can say is, you know, that I'm sorry. Is it true that when Jill Biden hung the White House stockings for the six grandchildren, not the seven, excluding Navy, that she also had stockings up there for the family pets, for the dogs? I actually did hear that. And so what does Jill Biden do on The View? This, Sat 18. Hunter's doing well? Hunter is, oh my gosh, Hunter is doing so great. And he's sober. He has a beautiful child. I mean, yes. Who's named Bo? He named his son after Bo.

1:42:21And Bo named his son after Hunter. So, yeah, just shows the bond. Yeah. Once again, no mention of her granddaughter, who's been acknowledged, Navy Biden, which is so hurtful. I'm sorry. Like, I'm sorry your son had a baby out of wedlock, you know, stepson, whatever. Stop punishing the little girl by erasing her from current history. I mean, she won't acknowledge this child. It's diabolical. Well, look, as we've learned, everything gets put through the prism of politics, right? I mean, everything is just someone's running all the time. And we got Graham Plattner over there, and they're all stumping for the guy with the Nazi tattoo with all the GMs to young people or young women or whatever.

1:43:20Whatever is going on. So they will pass everything through the prism of the next election. And that's all she does. Even if she's not running, even if her husband's not running. Could somebody find out who the big guy was? Could somebody ask her who the big guy was that Hunter was keeping 10 % for? That question has never been uttered on any interview. At 10 ,000 interviews, no one said, who's the big guy? Hunter, everyone else's name is on that list, their full name. And then there's the big guy. Who is the big guy? Tell us who that guy is. They don't care. They won't ask. They will never do the stories that are bad for their side.

1:44:00I would submit to the audience, that's one of the things that makes this show different from most, where we will. We will criticize both sides. When the president does something we don't like, we will say so. We may agree or disagree, but he's not immune from criticism. But if you're a leftist, that's not the rule. That's not how you roll. Adam Carolla, a pleasure. Good luck. Good luck to you as we await to see whether Spencer Pratt and Steve Hilton pull this off. We're rooting for them and you. And we're back tomorrow with Maureen Callahan. Thanks for listening to The Megyn Kelly Show. No BS, no agenda, and no fear.
