Host / other voice“She was like, wait a minute, the same person who was like literally leading cancel culture before it was a thing trying to get people fired for their political views is now saying that you should not try to get people fired for their political views.”
Host / other voice“Bari Weiss has no experience in journalism at all. Like she's never committed. She's like an opinion writer or whatever for the New York Times. She's not a journalist. Like never written a freaking story in her life. And she's dumb.”
Host / other voice“I think the thing that everybody sort of immediately noticed about this statement is not that just that she's including Alan Dershowitz in her sort of a team of sort of reasonable thoughts, but that she's saying that she's called him charismatic.”
Host / other voice“Barry gets to utilize this moment to portray the New York Times as sort of beholden to, as you said, young wokes, not very interested in free inquiry, free speech.”
Host / other voice“When Bari Weiss comes along and says, hey, we're going to be fair to the right. We're going to characterize it accurately.”
Host / other voice“to do that, to prosecute this pathetic political campaign, he's prepared to risk one of our iconic companies leaving the state with all the jobs that go with it. This is just so, they're so out of touch with reality.”
Host / other voice“showed off passes that they had received, according to the New York Post, from Mayor Zorn Mamdani's administration. And they got press passes, apparently for their content following the Mangione trial. But they're pretty clear, these so-called reporters, about their beliefs about Mangione, which is that he was justified in murdering allegedly Brian Thompson, who are Rojas and Weissbrot making that case.”
Host / other voice“When Bari Weiss came into CBS, and she began to say, there's a whole part of America that's not listening to us, and we need to approach how we cover the news and the opinions we share on a broader spectrum.”
Host / other voice“if they're going to shut him down, if you can shut down a famous person with a platform, you can shut down any of us. And for what it's worth there, if that's what we're talking about, we should all be far more concerned about Bari Weiss and CBS News than we should be about Stephen Colbert and The Late Show.”
Host / other voice“supposedly Bari Weiss is this conservative in the Ellison's own CBS, and it's getting better, and now she's going to, there's a story in the New York Post, she's going to clear out 60 minutes, get rid of some of those Pablin pukers.”
Host / other voice“I think you're seeing what you're seeing with like Bari Weiss at CBS or something is just, you know, that the drumbeat of war and seeing a party that seems totally incapable of understanding, maybe it's our obligation to be making the arguments against this war.”
Host / other voice“the Bari Weiss thing, which I don't know if I asked you about that last week, because if the timing was right, but, you know, she got in this dispute with 60 minutes, I think it was 60 minutes, right? CBS's thing, right?”
