you know, set the table for him to take over that show to some, it feels, I think, you know, I've talked to people, it feels like they really rushed Tony into this position.

Maybe that wasn't his fault entirely, but the executives didn't have much of an option.

You know, it became clear that they wanted to get rid of the previous anchors of the show, John Dickerson and Maurice Dubois.

And so those two quit.

And so they really had nowhere to go.

So they, they put Tony in this position and he, he,

doesn't really have the same reps that someone like Tom Yamas did before he took over the NBC Nightly News.

I think even if people weren't trying to rewrite history, it's important for us to remember history.

the horrors of what happened on January 6th, the fact that this did happen at the citadel of our democracy.

But because the president and those in power are trying to whitewash and lie about

the actions that happened, their supporters took on January 6th to attack the U.S.

Capitol and stop the democratic process.

It's even more important for shows like the CBS Evening News to remind people what really took place that day.

And the fact that the CBS Evening News would only spend a few seconds on this, and the fact that they would then, both sides,

this issue is frankly shameful, Don.

I can't imagine a scenario, if I were an anchor, where that script were given to me, where I would not only read it, but say, this is okay.

I would be pretty upset that that would be turned into me.

I can't compute how Tony could go on the air and think that was the way to commemorate this day.

You know what's really weird too, Don, is that this is the issue that gets both sides on CBS Evening News, but when they're interviewing Pete Hegseth, notably there's not a second take to that side of the story.

When they're talking to Kristi Noem, there really isn't a second critical voice.
