I'm not going to be here.

And I think the real question is, what happens to 60 Minutes going forward?

Is he the first big name correspondent to leave?

Or will Leslie Stahl and Bill Whitaker and Scott Pelley and others, will they follow suit soon?

I think it's a mixture of a lot of things.

I think Barry Weiss has certainly a point of view that she started her own outlet, The Free Press, with.

I think it's often misguided.

And I think her editorial philosophy, which I think really comes down to

equalizing, but it's like a false, both sides ism, right?

Like we're going to give Donald Trump his say, and we're going to give someone else their say, and people can figure it out.

And the both sides are, are maybe equal.

I think, I think that's been her philosophy.

And I think that David Ellison is, has become a big fan of hers.

And that's, according to my understanding, I'm talking to people around him.

He's a big fan of the free press and he brought her into.

i think um he i believe he thought he was going to digitally invigorate the network with someone who he views as having started a successful digital business on substack but also i think there's no doubt that they want to placate this administration and they want to curry favors so that they can get some additional deals done that require government approval

And right now you're seeing them make a hostile takeover play for Warner brother discovery, which is the parent can be a company of CNN and HBO.

And obviously one of those pictures and that deal requires government approval.

And their main argument to shareholders is we think we're the best suitor for this company because we are basically friends with the Trump administration.

So we can get this deal through Netflix, which is the company that has actually struck a deal with Warner brother discovery for some of its assets.
