There are a lot of debates about what Barry Weiss's own political leanings are, but they are very different from Tucker Carlson's.

And I think, you know, Barry Weiss is Jewish and very sort of openly Zionist, has written a book, How to Fight Antisemitism.

So I think that they disagree on some some things.

I also think there is this war happening in conservative media a little bit.

Tucker's also sort of flirting with further right elements.

And Barry, I think, is trying to court the middle.

This is sort of the line I think she would say, which is people are politically homeless.

They don't...

They don't see themselves in CNN or MS Now or The New York Times.

They see themselves nowhere.

Or The New Yorker or Public Radio.

Or The New Yorker or Public, yeah.

Her vision for CBS would be, you know, we're going to catch them all, right?

We're going to catch all those people on the center right and the center left who think Tucker is crazy and flirting with Nazis.

Mm-hmm.

And we're going to bring them in.

And, you know, there's an interesting thing.

He has sort of tapped into a criticism of Weiss that she is unqualified to run CBS News because she's never worked in a traditional news side of a newsroom.

She came up on the opinion side of The Wall Street Journal.

And at the New York Times.
