Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:01:45,606 --> 00:01:49,610
But if this is the last time
2
00:01:51,153 --> 00:01:54,698
Make up your mind
3
00:01:55,991 --> 00:01:58,453
I've waited a lifetime to live
4
00:01:58,536 --> 00:02:01,248
Camera 3, give me Lizzy. Taking camera 3.
5
00:02:01,790 --> 00:02:04,376
Donny, I need a wide.
Get a wide camera. Wide shot.
6
00:02:04,459 --> 00:02:07,337
I'm making a fire
7
00:02:11,132 --> 00:02:14,802
- Where should I put the coffee?
- Wait, where is Brett? Coff... What?
8
00:02:14,885 --> 00:02:16,638
Chip said I should ask you
where to put it.
9
00:02:16,721 --> 00:02:21,225
I know a place we can start
10
00:02:23,186 --> 00:02:28,483
But if this is the last time
11
00:02:28,567 --> 00:02:30,901
Make up your mind
12
00:02:30,985 --> 00:02:34,990
Congratulations on everything, Stella.
Getting Alex back was masterful.
13
00:02:35,073 --> 00:02:36,133
I've waited a lifetime to live
14
00:02:36,156 --> 00:02:38,742
- Ratings last night…
- Yes, hell of an interview.
15
00:02:38,826 --> 00:02:39,995
Thanks so much, Gerald.
16
00:02:40,078 --> 00:02:44,039
It's time to ignite
I'm making a fire
17
00:02:56,468 --> 00:02:59,305
- What... Go up there? Oh, Jesus. God.
- Go up and talk to Dave.
18
00:02:59,930 --> 00:03:04,436
Oh, my gosh, you guys.
The Foo Fighters. You guys… What?
19
00:03:04,519 --> 00:03:06,104
I love you, Dave!
20
00:03:06,187 --> 00:03:08,230
- I know every single song.
- It's a new song.
21
00:03:08,314 --> 00:03:11,067
Nobody's really heard it yet.
Comes out summer 2020.
22
00:03:11,151 --> 00:03:13,444
It was my daughter Violet's idea
to play it, actually.
23
00:03:13,527 --> 00:03:16,239
Yeah. I said, you know,
Alex should get a world premiere.
24
00:03:16,323 --> 00:03:18,199
- I love her. She's my favorite.
- She's cool.
25
00:03:18,283 --> 00:03:20,492
I mean, I love you guys, too, but…
26
00:03:20,576 --> 00:03:23,747
All right, ladies and gentlemen,
the Foo Fighters. That was amazing.
27
00:03:26,248 --> 00:03:27,667
We're out. Back in two minutes.
28
00:03:27,751 --> 00:03:29,920
- You doing okay?
- Dave, I'm so good.
29
00:03:30,002 --> 00:03:31,462
- Are you happy?
- Yeah.
30
00:03:31,545 --> 00:03:32,379
- Yeah?
- I'm happy.
31
00:03:32,463 --> 00:03:34,382
- You seem happy.
- Thank you for doing this.
32
00:03:34,466 --> 00:03:36,050
- You guys are the best.
- Thank you.
33
00:03:36,134 --> 00:03:37,843
The number two trending story is
34
00:03:37,927 --> 00:03:40,639
the president announcing
his budget proposal today,
35
00:03:40,722 --> 00:03:44,350
which is expected to include
steep cuts to Medicare and Medicaid
36
00:03:44,433 --> 00:03:46,770
and increase spending on a border wall.
37
00:03:46,853 --> 00:03:50,649
But the top trending topic
this morning is…
38
00:03:51,274 --> 00:03:52,275
It's Alex Levy.
39
00:03:53,944 --> 00:03:55,694
- It's Alex Levy.
- Come on. Wow!
40
00:03:55,778 --> 00:03:57,656
- Oh, my gosh.
- I've arrived, guys.
41
00:03:57,739 --> 00:03:59,490
- Yes, you can quit now.
- No, no.
42
00:03:59,574 --> 00:04:01,909
- No, don't... don't quit.
- Wait.
43
00:04:01,992 --> 00:04:04,621
- She just got back.
- The people are saying,
44
00:04:04,704 --> 00:04:07,748
"Thank goodness Alex Levy's home.
Coffee doesn't taste right without her."
45
00:04:07,831 --> 00:04:10,919
- True. It did taste different today.
- That's very sweet.
46
00:04:11,002 --> 00:04:13,629
"OMG! So great to see Alex
and Bradley together.
47
00:04:13,712 --> 00:04:16,298
Bradley without Alex is
like Rose without Jack."
48
00:04:16,382 --> 00:04:18,300
- Adorable.
- Oh, my gosh. Thank you.
49
00:04:18,384 --> 00:04:21,096
- Yeah.
- Twitter user @Crvcrab says,
50
00:04:21,178 --> 00:04:22,514
"Alex Levy, modern day hero."
51
00:04:22,596 --> 00:04:24,266
Yeah. "Hashtag feminist god."
52
00:04:24,975 --> 00:04:25,975
Okay, that's enough.
53
00:04:26,059 --> 00:04:28,144
I think we've heard enough of this.
Come on, Ty.
54
00:04:28,228 --> 00:04:30,564
Just keep hitting her
with those brutal tweets.
55
00:04:30,646 --> 00:04:33,817
We're thrilled to have you back.
You're family here on The Morning Show.
56
00:04:34,733 --> 00:04:37,946
Yanko, just a heads-up.
Someone reposted your Groundhog Day thing.
57
00:04:38,028 --> 00:04:39,029
That's cool.
58
00:04:39,697 --> 00:04:42,408
Yeah, actually,
it's what I said the other day.
59
00:04:42,951 --> 00:04:45,495
They don't like that you call
something your spirit animal,
60
00:04:45,579 --> 00:04:47,079
so that's why they reposted it.
61
00:04:47,163 --> 00:04:48,999
- Oh, please. Is it... Is that it?
- Yeah.
62
00:04:49,081 --> 00:04:50,082
Let me see that.
63
00:05:01,636 --> 00:05:03,096
Crap. Thanks.
64
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:04,723
It's okay.
65
00:05:05,514 --> 00:05:07,934
Brava!
That's what I call a show, girlfriend.
66
00:05:08,018 --> 00:05:10,896
- L-E-V-Y, what does it spell?
- I love you.
67
00:05:10,978 --> 00:05:13,856
- Congrats. I'll see you upstairs.
- Thanks, honey.
68
00:05:13,939 --> 00:05:17,444
- Alex, great to have you back.
- Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
69
00:05:19,528 --> 00:05:21,531
- Hey, good show.
- Thank... Thanks.
70
00:05:23,158 --> 00:05:26,745
- I think it went well.
- I gave Stella your best political stuff.
71
00:05:26,827 --> 00:05:30,040
So hopefully this will get us moderator.
72
00:05:30,122 --> 00:05:31,707
Yeah, I hope so too.
73
00:05:31,790 --> 00:05:34,877
People still stop me on the street
about that de Blasio interview.
74
00:05:34,961 --> 00:05:39,507
- Are you going somewhere?
- Yeah. I have a meeting.
75
00:05:40,175 --> 00:05:42,802
- You have a meeting?
- I booked it myself.
76
00:05:42,886 --> 00:05:44,596
I'll call you in a couple hours.
77
00:05:46,014 --> 00:05:49,808
- We did it.
- You've done it, like, a million times.
78
00:05:49,893 --> 00:05:52,353
I know.
But, like, a million lifetimes ago.
79
00:05:53,146 --> 00:05:55,540
Could you imagine if they paid me
all that money and I just sucked?
80
00:05:55,564 --> 00:05:58,860
- Well, you didn't have to come back.
- I know, but I did.
81
00:06:00,153 --> 00:06:01,446
Is it good?
82
00:06:01,528 --> 00:06:06,367
Oh, gosh. Oh, man.
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
83
00:06:06,451 --> 00:06:07,451
- Mom?
- Yeah?
84
00:06:07,535 --> 00:06:11,122
- You all right?
- Yeah, I'm good. I'm good.
85
00:06:11,206 --> 00:06:13,458
Lizzy, you wanna go check out
the spread in the kitchen?
86
00:06:13,540 --> 00:06:15,543
- See if your mom wants some food?
- Yeah.
87
00:06:18,963 --> 00:06:21,007
Okay. Okay.
88
00:06:22,050 --> 00:06:26,096
- Okay. Sorry.
- Last night's interview played great.
89
00:06:26,805 --> 00:06:28,348
I mean, yes, you were nervous.
90
00:06:28,430 --> 00:06:30,475
But it turned out great.
91
00:06:30,559 --> 00:06:32,185
- The ratings were great.
- Yeah.
92
00:06:32,269 --> 00:06:34,396
First show back, smashing success.
93
00:06:35,939 --> 00:06:37,774
- Relax.
- I hear you.
94
00:06:37,856 --> 00:06:40,569
Okay. I know, right? I need to relax.
95
00:06:40,651 --> 00:06:42,653
Good.
Now, we do need to talk about the debate.
96
00:06:42,737 --> 00:06:45,406
The DNC needs their list of moderators,
and it's just...
97
00:06:45,490 --> 00:06:48,033
We gotta book the travel
and hotels, Vegas, all that stuff.
98
00:06:48,117 --> 00:06:51,036
Yeah. Yeah. No. No.
99
00:06:51,745 --> 00:06:54,040
The last thing I want right now
is more exposure.
100
00:06:54,124 --> 00:06:57,252
Is there a part of you that feels
you should do it? As a show of good faith.
101
00:06:57,334 --> 00:06:58,627
No.
102
00:06:58,711 --> 00:07:01,964
You mentioned what a generous deal
they made for you,
103
00:07:02,048 --> 00:07:04,384
and they obviously didn't do that
for nothing.
104
00:07:04,466 --> 00:07:06,887
They know you can bring home the bacon
and fry it up.
105
00:07:06,970 --> 00:07:08,762
You'll bring 'em a huge audience.
106
00:07:08,846 --> 00:07:10,348
It's win-win.
107
00:07:10,432 --> 00:07:11,850
I have to take it. It's Doug.
108
00:07:11,932 --> 00:07:13,018
Alex…
109
00:07:15,019 --> 00:07:16,021
you should do this.
110
00:07:16,646 --> 00:07:19,231
- Should do this?
- Yeah.
111
00:07:19,315 --> 00:07:20,649
You know what you should do?
112
00:07:21,735 --> 00:07:24,862
Yeah. Right. Okay. Still... Still doing it.
113
00:07:26,072 --> 00:07:28,699
And you know that comes
with all the love in my heart.
114
00:07:29,283 --> 00:07:33,622
Hey, Doug. Yes, I did.
I got all of your flowers.
115
00:07:38,293 --> 00:07:41,170
Okay, now, when you're doing
your interview, remember,
116
00:07:41,254 --> 00:07:44,173
law professors do not need to be ambushed.
117
00:07:44,257 --> 00:07:47,218
This is to establish
how Italian law sometimes has a...
118
00:07:47,302 --> 00:07:48,302
Yeah, yeah.
119
00:07:49,721 --> 00:07:51,932
By "yeah, yeah, yeah,"
do you just want me to shut up?
120
00:07:52,014 --> 00:07:54,683
- She wants me to shut up.
- I'm just trying to focus right now.
121
00:07:54,768 --> 00:07:56,269
Okay. I get it.
122
00:07:56,353 --> 00:07:58,103
I get it. I totally get it.
123
00:07:59,939 --> 00:08:01,315
We could rehearse.
124
00:08:02,149 --> 00:08:03,860
I could play the professor.
125
00:08:03,944 --> 00:08:07,988
You could play Paola Lambruschini,
documentary filmmaker.
126
00:08:08,865 --> 00:08:12,786
Actually, Fido could play the professor.
127
00:08:13,327 --> 00:08:14,387
- He's very professional.
- Yeah.
128
00:08:14,411 --> 00:08:19,625
He's got one of those jackets with patches
on the elbows, the whole thing.
129
00:08:19,709 --> 00:08:21,336
Yeah? Wanna do that?
130
00:08:25,382 --> 00:08:26,716
You're gonna do great.
131
00:08:35,432 --> 00:08:37,600
I know it's early in the day
for the Donner Party,
132
00:08:37,686 --> 00:08:40,355
but Plus sent over a cut
of the Forlorn Hope finale.
133
00:08:40,437 --> 00:08:42,730
- You want to watch it now?
- Oh, yes. God, yes.
134
00:08:46,027 --> 00:08:47,111
You know…
135
00:08:48,738 --> 00:08:51,908
for someone in the closet,
you sure know your way around.
136
00:08:51,991 --> 00:08:55,036
I'm not in the closet.
I'm just not actually a lesbian.
137
00:08:56,495 --> 00:08:58,623
Well, you're something.
138
00:08:59,249 --> 00:09:00,375
You're something.
139
00:09:03,461 --> 00:09:05,880
- I better go.
- You have to?
140
00:09:05,964 --> 00:09:08,884
Yeah, I gotta go to Cory's office.
141
00:09:08,966 --> 00:09:11,135
I'm gonna walk in there,
and I'm gonna tell him
142
00:09:11,219 --> 00:09:13,804
that I'm not fucking leaving
until he gives me moderator.
143
00:09:15,599 --> 00:09:17,558
- What?
- So sorry. I didn't mean to laugh.
144
00:09:17,642 --> 00:09:19,852
It just sounded funny, so combative.
145
00:09:19,936 --> 00:09:21,730
It's not combative. It's honest.
146
00:09:21,812 --> 00:09:25,942
Is that how you two communicate,
with unvarnished truths and ultimatums?
147
00:09:26,025 --> 00:09:28,528
I can tell you,
I've known Cory a long time,
148
00:09:28,611 --> 00:09:30,739
and he wouldn't let just anyone do that.
149
00:09:30,822 --> 00:09:32,615
- It's complicated.
- I'd like to hear.
150
00:09:35,243 --> 00:09:36,244
I guess…
151
00:09:37,662 --> 00:09:41,582
Okay, well,
on the day of Alex's last show...
152
00:09:42,125 --> 00:09:44,336
Actually, it feels gross calling it that.
153
00:09:45,544 --> 00:09:47,755
On the day Hannah died.
Did you know Hannah?
154
00:09:47,838 --> 00:09:51,634
- No, but I know who you mean.
- Well, so much happened that day.
155
00:09:51,717 --> 00:09:54,803
And after it all,
the board actually fired Cory.
156
00:09:55,721 --> 00:09:58,225
- Please don't tell anybody I said that.
- I won't.
157
00:09:58,307 --> 00:09:59,683
I mean, they never announced it.
158
00:09:59,768 --> 00:10:03,562
They fired Cory, they put Fred on leave,
and they suspended me.
159
00:10:03,647 --> 00:10:05,065
Alex took off.
160
00:10:06,106 --> 00:10:08,652
So Cory and I got really close.
161
00:10:08,735 --> 00:10:11,278
We really showed up for each other and…
162
00:10:12,697 --> 00:10:15,491
- Are you sure you want to hear this?
- Where's it going exactly?
163
00:10:16,076 --> 00:10:20,496
As friends, I was just…
My heart broke for him.
164
00:10:20,580 --> 00:10:24,000
- He was really vulnerable.
- Yeah, he doesn't lead with that.
165
00:10:24,083 --> 00:10:25,918
No, but... But then a couple days later,
166
00:10:26,001 --> 00:10:30,090
I got up in front of the board,
and I just fucking unloaded on them.
167
00:10:30,173 --> 00:10:34,385
And I told them that Fred had to be fired,
and that Cory was the guy to replace him,
168
00:10:34,469 --> 00:10:37,389
and I really didn't think
I was getting through to them.
169
00:10:37,471 --> 00:10:40,350
But then a day later,
he came down to my room,
170
00:10:40,432 --> 00:10:42,769
and he said that they made him CEO.
171
00:10:42,851 --> 00:10:45,480
And as his first act,
he was lifting my suspension.
172
00:10:46,355 --> 00:10:49,734
At that point,
he and I were, like, best friends.
173
00:10:50,610 --> 00:10:52,611
And I was a really good friend to him.
174
00:10:55,155 --> 00:10:56,533
Anyway, fuck him.
175
00:11:01,745 --> 00:11:03,599
You know they're talking about
replacing him, right?
176
00:11:03,623 --> 00:11:04,916
Wait, what?
177
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,500
UBA is in third,
178
00:11:06,585 --> 00:11:10,462
which wouldn't be such a big deal
if it didn't go hand in hand with scandal.
179
00:11:11,089 --> 00:11:13,383
I mean, it doesn't matter
that he's had success for them.
180
00:11:13,466 --> 00:11:14,717
People's memories are short,
181
00:11:14,801 --> 00:11:17,303
and at the end of the day,
it just comes down to money.
182
00:11:17,386 --> 00:11:20,890
And he's investing
just massive amounts in UBA+,
183
00:11:20,974 --> 00:11:23,851
which doesn't launch for another month,
and it needs to perform.
184
00:11:23,934 --> 00:11:28,023
And, I mean, another streaming service?
185
00:11:28,105 --> 00:11:30,625
- They should be illegal.
- I guess you could just not subscribe.
186
00:11:30,649 --> 00:11:31,650
At this point,
187
00:11:31,735 --> 00:11:37,448
UBA's balance sheet basically looks like
a hemophiliac's used Band-Aid.
188
00:11:38,158 --> 00:11:39,533
You should talk to him.
189
00:11:40,576 --> 00:11:43,330
That's what I'm gonna do.
That's how this conversation started.
190
00:11:43,913 --> 00:11:46,308
But you should reconcile with him,
even if it's just for show.
191
00:11:46,332 --> 00:11:48,125
The network is your partner.
192
00:11:48,710 --> 00:11:50,586
And he's your CEO for now.
193
00:11:51,379 --> 00:11:53,298
Make them your ally, not your foe.
194
00:11:54,341 --> 00:11:56,051
Your career will thank you.
195
00:12:12,399 --> 00:12:15,403
- Wow, you got a lot of stuff.
- I'm used to it.
196
00:12:17,614 --> 00:12:20,283
- What will you do while I'm in it?
- What am I going to do?
197
00:12:20,366 --> 00:12:23,327
- Practice my singing…
- Uh-huh.
198
00:12:23,411 --> 00:12:24,620
…with some Italian music.
199
00:12:25,205 --> 00:12:26,538
Ready?
200
00:12:26,623 --> 00:12:28,582
Uno, duo, tre, quatro!
201
00:12:28,667 --> 00:12:32,504
When I was a boy
Just about the eighth-a grade
202
00:12:32,586 --> 00:12:34,129
Mama used to say
203
00:12:34,213 --> 00:12:38,634
"Don't stay out-a late
With the bad-a boys
204
00:12:38,717 --> 00:12:41,554
Always shootin' pool, Giuseppe
You gonna flunk-a school!"
205
00:12:42,764 --> 00:12:43,847
Idiota.
206
00:12:43,932 --> 00:12:45,432
You talking to Giuseppe?
207
00:12:47,476 --> 00:12:48,562
You know, Giuseppe…
208
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,442
I'm not really used to people helping me.
209
00:12:55,860 --> 00:12:56,860
So…
210
00:12:58,488 --> 00:12:59,822
So thank you.
211
00:13:02,616 --> 00:13:03,618
Prego.
212
00:13:05,327 --> 00:13:06,620
What's-a matter you?
213
00:13:06,705 --> 00:13:08,248
Hey! Gotta no respect?
214
00:13:08,331 --> 00:13:09,331
Stop it.
215
00:13:09,416 --> 00:13:13,419
What-a you think you do?
Why you look-a so sad?
216
00:13:13,503 --> 00:13:16,673
It's-a not so bad
It's-a nice-a place
217
00:13:16,755 --> 00:13:19,216
- Keep it down!
- Ah, shaddap-a you face!
218
00:13:29,184 --> 00:13:30,854
Hey, Paige, is everything okay?
219
00:13:30,937 --> 00:13:35,317
No, everything is not okay.
Kelly Daykin just called me.
220
00:13:35,399 --> 00:13:37,152
I didn't know you two talked.
221
00:13:37,235 --> 00:13:38,695
It wasn't a good call.
222
00:13:38,778 --> 00:13:43,408
Someone tried to plant a nasty story
in the Daily News about Hannah Shoenfeld.
223
00:13:45,451 --> 00:13:46,620
Did she say what it was?
224
00:13:46,702 --> 00:13:48,288
She spared me details.
225
00:13:48,370 --> 00:13:50,664
Apparently it paints her
as pretty fucked up.
226
00:13:50,749 --> 00:13:52,750
You said, "tried." "Tried to plant."
227
00:13:52,834 --> 00:13:55,128
- So, they're not printing it?
- They're not.
228
00:13:55,836 --> 00:13:57,254
Why did she call you?
229
00:13:57,338 --> 00:13:59,090
I think the implication is clear.
230
00:13:59,173 --> 00:14:02,052
Oh, my God, Paige,
you don't think I'm behind this?
231
00:14:02,134 --> 00:14:04,763
- Who do you think I am?
- The kids don't need this.
232
00:14:04,846 --> 00:14:06,347
It was not me.
233
00:14:06,431 --> 00:14:08,682
That poor girl doesn't need this.
234
00:14:08,767 --> 00:14:11,311
- Paige.
- I don't wanna hear it.
235
00:14:11,394 --> 00:14:14,688
I did my duty.
I hope you're enjoying Italy.
236
00:14:26,784 --> 00:14:29,620
When he arrived, he was starving.
237
00:14:29,703 --> 00:14:32,164
I'd seen that look so many times
these last five months.
238
00:14:32,249 --> 00:14:33,290
It was horrible.
239
00:14:33,375 --> 00:14:35,418
So where is he, Mr. Keseberg?
240
00:14:35,501 --> 00:14:38,171
Where is my son?
We will dig up every last inch of dirt…
241
00:14:38,254 --> 00:14:40,090
Kyle, who's calling on my direct?
242
00:14:40,173 --> 00:14:42,841
- Please, Mr. Eddy.
- If I have...
243
00:14:43,634 --> 00:14:44,844
Kyle, who is it?
244
00:14:46,263 --> 00:14:48,557
I didn't know if I should yell this out.
245
00:14:49,474 --> 00:14:50,558
It's Mitch Kessler.
246
00:14:53,269 --> 00:14:57,566
Okay, I'll take it. Stay off this one.
247
00:15:10,495 --> 00:15:12,913
- Hello?
- Yeah?
248
00:15:13,789 --> 00:15:15,292
I didn't know you were there.
249
00:15:16,876 --> 00:15:18,253
Most people say, "Hello."
250
00:15:18,336 --> 00:15:19,879
Something new I'm trying out.
251
00:15:19,962 --> 00:15:21,630
Groundbreaking stuff.
252
00:15:23,341 --> 00:15:26,302
I'm calling
because I thought you should know
253
00:15:26,385 --> 00:15:30,890
that someone has launched
a smear campaign against Hannah.
254
00:15:32,933 --> 00:15:33,934
Fred.
255
00:15:34,019 --> 00:15:37,688
Yeah. Daily News isn't gonna run it,
256
00:15:37,772 --> 00:15:41,735
but his tentacles run so deep
that somebody's gonna bite eventually.
257
00:15:41,817 --> 00:15:43,193
Unless you cut it off at the root.
258
00:15:43,278 --> 00:15:46,530
Yeah? What you expect me to do, Mitch?
Kill and eat him to keep him quiet?
259
00:15:46,615 --> 00:15:49,491
What do I expect you to do?
The right thing.
260
00:15:51,286 --> 00:15:53,722
Can you say that again?
It's amazing coming out of your mouth.
261
00:15:53,746 --> 00:15:55,456
Look, I'm just trying to help.
262
00:15:55,539 --> 00:15:58,335
You know, I don't have
the UBA apparatus at my disposal.
263
00:15:58,418 --> 00:16:00,378
And my money is not good
in that town anymore.
264
00:16:01,004 --> 00:16:04,048
Why don't you take a big step back
and think about this?
265
00:16:04,131 --> 00:16:06,051
This is your fault.
266
00:16:06,134 --> 00:16:08,177
You can try and pretend
like Fred's the bad guy,
267
00:16:08,260 --> 00:16:10,513
but there are no nasty stories
without you, pal.
268
00:16:10,596 --> 00:16:13,600
Well, you made
some pretty big fucking promises.
269
00:16:14,142 --> 00:16:17,394
Yeah? Fred, so bad he had to go.
270
00:16:17,479 --> 00:16:21,024
Or maybe you just wanted his job.
Well, congratulations.
271
00:16:21,106 --> 00:16:26,988
I'm glad that it is so easy for you to sit
in that big room full of straw,
272
00:16:27,072 --> 00:16:30,825
judging me, when you should be doing
what you promised and spin it into gold.
273
00:16:31,451 --> 00:16:34,245
You're the CEO.
Do what a CEO does: handle it.
274
00:16:34,328 --> 00:16:36,163
Handle the suit. Make it go away.
275
00:16:36,248 --> 00:16:38,625
Keep these awful stories out of the press
276
00:16:38,707 --> 00:16:42,461
and leave me the fuck alone
so I can live my life.
277
00:16:42,546 --> 00:16:44,548
Whatever miserable scraps are left of it.
278
00:16:56,142 --> 00:16:57,309
Hey, I need a second.
279
00:16:57,394 --> 00:16:58,394
Can it wait?
280
00:16:58,894 --> 00:17:02,106
It has waited two weeks
in quarantine in China and then some.
281
00:17:02,190 --> 00:17:04,526
What's another couple of hours?
I have to get to Stella's.
282
00:17:04,608 --> 00:17:07,409
But that's why it can't wait.
Sooner you agree, sooner you're upstairs.
283
00:17:08,737 --> 00:17:09,738
Two minutes.
284
00:17:16,496 --> 00:17:19,123
Don't worry.
You're not the topic of conversation.
285
00:17:19,207 --> 00:17:20,875
And why the fuck not?
286
00:17:20,958 --> 00:17:23,836
I want to be the topic of conversation
for once.
287
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,131
I did a lot of thinking
trapped in that little box.
288
00:17:26,213 --> 00:17:29,009
Oh, my God, Daniel.
Beijing Hilton is not a little box.
289
00:17:29,092 --> 00:17:30,903
- We've talked...
- I'm not talking about the Hilton.
290
00:17:30,926 --> 00:17:31,967
I'm talking about my life.
291
00:17:32,011 --> 00:17:34,722
I don't have a 50-minute hour.
I have two minutes.
292
00:17:34,806 --> 00:17:37,086
I'll make it quick
because I didn't come here for therapy.
293
00:17:37,808 --> 00:17:38,934
Look.
294
00:17:39,019 --> 00:17:43,606
There is a pattern of behavior
around here that, to put it kindly,
295
00:17:43,690 --> 00:17:46,526
often excuses the bad behavior
of white folks
296
00:17:46,609 --> 00:17:49,570
and disadvantages the people of color,
namely me.
297
00:17:49,653 --> 00:17:50,654
And you know it too.
298
00:17:50,739 --> 00:17:53,950
I mean, at least George Wallace had
the courtesy to tell you to your face.
299
00:17:54,034 --> 00:17:56,243
I'm done turning the other cheek.
300
00:17:56,327 --> 00:17:57,412
Okay, okay.
301
00:17:59,247 --> 00:18:00,248
Of course I know it.
302
00:18:01,499 --> 00:18:03,751
Sure it's not lost on you
that I was only put in charge
303
00:18:03,835 --> 00:18:06,314
after everything had gone to shit
and failure was damn near certain.
304
00:18:06,337 --> 00:18:07,338
So I get it.
305
00:18:07,422 --> 00:18:11,259
But look, I am... I'm…
happier to have the job in this situation
306
00:18:11,343 --> 00:18:13,636
than to be shut out
in the name of fairness.
307
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,223
And all I ask is that,
when you talk to Stella,
308
00:18:17,307 --> 00:18:19,142
you push for me to moderate.
309
00:18:20,434 --> 00:18:22,729
Okay. You're right.
I will plead your case.
310
00:18:23,688 --> 00:18:25,065
Now I have to get up there.
311
00:18:26,273 --> 00:18:28,359
There should be some Black voice up there.
312
00:18:28,943 --> 00:18:31,238
And it's not gonna come
from one of the candidates.
313
00:18:31,863 --> 00:18:32,864
I'll do what I can.
314
00:18:37,786 --> 00:18:42,457
- You're not gonna fire me over this?
- Oh, no. Come on, Yanko, no. But…
315
00:18:44,709 --> 00:18:47,086
You know,
the backlash has gotten out of hand.
316
00:18:47,170 --> 00:18:50,423
It's just one of those things.
We know you didn't mean anything by it.
317
00:18:50,507 --> 00:18:52,800
But we gotta nip
that thing in the bud, okay?
318
00:18:53,551 --> 00:18:56,136
So, you're gonna have to apologize
on the show tomorrow.
319
00:18:58,056 --> 00:18:59,473
So you want me to say I'm sorry.
320
00:18:59,557 --> 00:19:02,685
- Yeah. You gotta be.
- Okay, I still don't... I don't understand
321
00:19:02,769 --> 00:19:05,896
why it's a bad thing for me
to call something my spirit animal, okay?
322
00:19:05,980 --> 00:19:08,400
And by the way,
a whole week went by, nobody cared.
323
00:19:08,482 --> 00:19:11,528
Well, they care now, and we care.
324
00:19:11,611 --> 00:19:14,131
How am I supposed to feel sorry
for something that doesn't make sense?
325
00:19:14,154 --> 00:19:16,532
- I mean, it's not like I did a rain dance.
- Oh, my God.
326
00:19:16,615 --> 00:19:19,827
You know what? It's...
It's appropriation.
327
00:19:19,911 --> 00:19:21,121
You're not Native American.
328
00:19:21,203 --> 00:19:24,749
It's like if someone who wasn't Cuban
was appropriating Cuban things.
329
00:19:24,833 --> 00:19:27,251
That doesn't bother me. I don't care.
Look, for the record,
330
00:19:27,335 --> 00:19:30,171
I have no problem apologizing
when I believe I've done something wrong,
331
00:19:30,255 --> 00:19:33,424
but you honestly want me to apologize
for something if I don't even mean it?
332
00:19:33,508 --> 00:19:35,218
In a perfect world,
333
00:19:35,301 --> 00:19:40,682
you understand that what you did is wrong,
you learn from it, and you apologize.
334
00:19:41,516 --> 00:19:42,517
Okay?
335
00:19:45,103 --> 00:19:46,104
It's fine.
336
00:19:50,191 --> 00:19:52,568
All right, fine. I'll do it. You know, I...
337
00:19:52,652 --> 00:19:54,588
- I don't push back like this, you know.
- No, I know. I know.
338
00:19:54,613 --> 00:19:58,532
Okay, and I'm sorry to be so combative,
but it hurts to be this misunderstood.
339
00:19:58,616 --> 00:20:00,868
Thanks for... Thanks for coming in.
340
00:20:00,951 --> 00:20:03,622
I don't even think the guy
who tweeted it was Native American.
341
00:20:03,704 --> 00:20:05,582
Okay. I'll see you downstairs.
342
00:20:08,542 --> 00:20:10,670
- Oh, God.
- He means well.
343
00:20:13,673 --> 00:20:16,009
Look, can I bend your ear
about something else?
344
00:20:16,092 --> 00:20:17,551
Bend away.
345
00:20:18,595 --> 00:20:22,348
What do you think
about Daniel moderating the debate?
346
00:20:22,432 --> 00:20:24,558
Everyone and their mother's
been lobbying for this,
347
00:20:24,643 --> 00:20:26,242
like I have some sort of choice to make.
348
00:20:26,310 --> 00:20:27,979
We have to use Eric, obviously,
349
00:20:28,063 --> 00:20:30,690
and Cory's made it clear
that he wants it to be Alex.
350
00:20:31,232 --> 00:20:32,776
It should be Noorean, by the way.
351
00:20:32,858 --> 00:20:35,319
Best ratings on UBANC, warm and wonky.
352
00:20:35,403 --> 00:20:38,030
But there can't be an equal number
of candidates and moderators.
353
00:20:38,114 --> 00:20:39,865
I'm sorry.
There just isn't room for Daniel.
354
00:20:39,950 --> 00:20:44,203
Daniel feels minimized on a grand scale,
you know, relegated to the breezy stuff.
355
00:20:44,287 --> 00:20:45,663
- And it...
- It's The Twist.
356
00:20:45,747 --> 00:20:47,374
The breeze makes it twist.
357
00:20:47,457 --> 00:20:50,251
Right, but it's not just the breezy stuff.
358
00:20:50,335 --> 00:20:54,422
Daniel feels like he's only asked
to report on diverse stories,
359
00:20:54,506 --> 00:20:58,801
which, if we're being honest,
don't get as much airtime.
360
00:20:58,884 --> 00:21:00,845
He thinks this is a racial thing?
361
00:21:01,721 --> 00:21:03,222
- A homophobic thing.
- You know what?
362
00:21:03,306 --> 00:21:06,433
I'm not gonna put words in his mouth,
but I'll give you my opinion.
363
00:21:06,518 --> 00:21:07,519
Okay.
364
00:21:07,602 --> 00:21:12,022
Daniel Henderson can moderate this debate
as well as anybody we have,
365
00:21:12,106 --> 00:21:14,567
and he's got
a really important perspective.
366
00:21:15,986 --> 00:21:19,364
Not everyone can be John or Paul.
Some people have to be Ringo.
367
00:21:21,199 --> 00:21:22,366
There's no shame in that.
368
00:21:22,450 --> 00:21:26,913
In my opinion, Daniel's reached the level
of his charisma,
369
00:21:26,997 --> 00:21:29,624
which, to be clear,
is hosting the nine o'clock hour
370
00:21:29,708 --> 00:21:31,750
on a major television network.
371
00:21:32,669 --> 00:21:34,296
It's not exactly an insult.
372
00:21:34,378 --> 00:21:35,462
He's really good.
373
00:21:36,088 --> 00:21:38,924
Everybody who's made it to this level
was the star somewhere else,
374
00:21:39,009 --> 00:21:42,761
but in a universe full of stars,
I don't think he has the "it" factor.
375
00:21:45,598 --> 00:21:49,019
What's most important is that
it's unique to you.
376
00:21:49,102 --> 00:21:50,353
To who you are.
377
00:21:50,436 --> 00:21:51,438
TV's, like, 90 years old.
378
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,273
The only thing you or anyone can do
that hasn't been done before
379
00:21:54,356 --> 00:21:56,567
- is offer their perspective.
- I agree.
380
00:21:56,651 --> 00:21:59,278
I think people want to know who you are.
381
00:21:59,362 --> 00:22:01,071
Hey, great show today.
382
00:22:01,573 --> 00:22:04,159
- Thank you.
- Yes. Hell of a start, huh?
383
00:22:04,241 --> 00:22:05,660
Yeah, amazing.
384
00:22:06,536 --> 00:22:08,329
- Listen…
- Yes?
385
00:22:08,413 --> 00:22:09,580
About this debate…
386
00:22:09,663 --> 00:22:11,625
I hear you don't want to do it.
387
00:22:11,708 --> 00:22:14,920
But can I just tell you
why we think it's so important?
388
00:22:15,836 --> 00:22:16,880
You... Yes.
389
00:22:16,962 --> 00:22:18,632
It's not about drawing viewers,
390
00:22:18,714 --> 00:22:21,759
because all eyes will already be
on UBA that night,
391
00:22:21,843 --> 00:22:23,595
but with all of our recent troubles,
392
00:22:23,678 --> 00:22:27,473
it's imperative to show that we can
still deliver good quality content.
393
00:22:28,642 --> 00:22:33,813
And nothing says quality more than you,
Alex, and you'll kill it.
394
00:22:33,896 --> 00:22:36,191
And you'll get a ton of juice off of it.
395
00:22:37,733 --> 00:22:38,859
You think I need juice?
396
00:22:38,943 --> 00:22:41,570
I'm not particularly saying
you need juice,
397
00:22:41,654 --> 00:22:43,781
but, you know,
who doesn't need some juice?
398
00:22:45,866 --> 00:22:48,577
I think there are other people here
with a lot more to prove.
399
00:22:49,162 --> 00:22:51,914
- We very much appreciate the ask.
- Yeah, but no.
400
00:22:51,998 --> 00:22:52,999
Okay.
401
00:22:54,209 --> 00:22:55,292
I hear you.
402
00:22:56,461 --> 00:22:59,548
But just think about it, for me.
That's all I ask.
403
00:23:01,549 --> 00:23:03,676
Gonna let you guys get back to it.
404
00:23:10,724 --> 00:23:11,809
Wow.
405
00:23:12,477 --> 00:23:16,397
I mean, who is that punk that
second-guesses every single thing I say?
406
00:23:17,982 --> 00:23:21,361
- God.
- Well, she's the president of UBA News.
407
00:23:21,443 --> 00:23:22,903
Cory clearly thinks a lot of her,
408
00:23:22,988 --> 00:23:26,782
because he paid a lot for DADA Media
to absorb it and her into the network...
409
00:23:26,865 --> 00:23:28,219
Don't talk to me like I'm an idiot.
410
00:23:28,242 --> 00:23:30,369
I mean, seriously,
where the fuck does she get off?
411
00:23:30,452 --> 00:23:32,890
I'm supposed to listen to her?
I have sweaters older than her.
412
00:23:32,913 --> 00:23:34,749
Well, age and maturity aren't
the same thing.
413
00:23:34,833 --> 00:23:36,209
Chip, that's not what I'm saying.
414
00:23:36,292 --> 00:23:38,795
She just hasn't...
She hasn't gone through enough shit.
415
00:23:38,878 --> 00:23:40,462
You know, she hasn't had enough pain
416
00:23:40,547 --> 00:23:43,299
to be bossing all of us around
who have been through it.
417
00:23:43,383 --> 00:23:44,884
You know, she just... I don't know.
418
00:23:44,968 --> 00:23:48,262
She's got this attitude about her
like she's this arbiter of morality.
419
00:23:48,346 --> 00:23:50,557
Okay, I think
you might be rushing to judgment.
420
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,809
She thought bringing you back here
was a crazy idea, which is bullshit.
421
00:23:55,769 --> 00:23:58,480
- She thinks I shouldn't be here?
- No, you should be here.
422
00:23:58,565 --> 00:24:01,609
You're missing the point.
She just doesn't get it.
423
00:24:01,692 --> 00:24:03,068
Who else thinks that?
424
00:24:04,069 --> 00:24:05,571
Nobody. Okay, never mind.
425
00:24:05,654 --> 00:24:08,866
Chip, just forget that I said it.
Please don't give it another thought.
426
00:24:09,451 --> 00:24:13,163
I was just trying to make a point
you weren't hearing fast enough.
427
00:24:16,124 --> 00:24:17,416
It looks good.
428
00:24:18,084 --> 00:24:19,461
He looks very credible.
429
00:24:19,544 --> 00:24:22,505
Okay, I will translate.
430
00:24:24,673 --> 00:24:30,512
Okay, so, here he's saying
that the criminal justice system in Italy
431
00:24:30,596 --> 00:24:33,849
was not written with women in mind.
432
00:24:33,933 --> 00:24:36,394
Of course. So, I ask him
433
00:24:36,478 --> 00:24:39,564
if there were any noteworthy examples
434
00:24:39,647 --> 00:24:42,192
of men and women
being treated differently.
435
00:24:42,275 --> 00:24:45,403
And he says, yes, of course,
there are many examples.
436
00:24:45,487 --> 00:24:46,488
And so…
437
00:24:47,529 --> 00:24:49,615
I'm bringing up Amanda Knox.
438
00:24:52,117 --> 00:24:55,163
And that just got him talking
and talking and talking.
439
00:24:55,247 --> 00:24:57,832
And, you know,
there is a lot of good stuff here.
440
00:24:58,500 --> 00:25:00,042
Yeah, that was really smart.
441
00:25:01,211 --> 00:25:04,506
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. It was.
442
00:25:05,965 --> 00:25:10,345
Okay, keep watching,
and the food will be ready soon.
443
00:25:12,806 --> 00:25:14,807
Here are the noodles.
444
00:25:16,058 --> 00:25:18,561
Here's the sauce. Enjoy.
445
00:25:19,104 --> 00:25:21,189
That's it? Really?
446
00:25:21,272 --> 00:25:23,148
- Well…
- That's where the service stops.
447
00:25:23,232 --> 00:25:26,861
Wow, you're two inches
from the finish line,
448
00:25:26,944 --> 00:25:28,363
and you're not gonna serve me.
449
00:25:28,445 --> 00:25:30,615
- Well, I made the food.
- Okay.
450
00:25:30,699 --> 00:25:31,950
That's as grateful as I get.
451
00:25:32,032 --> 00:25:36,121
Well, I am never coming back
to this establishment.
452
00:25:36,746 --> 00:25:38,748
The service is terrible.
453
00:25:38,832 --> 00:25:42,126
And you took...
Look at how much you took.
454
00:25:42,210 --> 00:25:44,253
- You left very little.
- Come here.
455
00:25:44,336 --> 00:25:45,755
- Don't do that.
- You're so...
456
00:25:49,509 --> 00:25:51,510
Here. The fork is in the drawer.
457
00:26:00,185 --> 00:26:05,191
Our campaign is thinking big
and not small.
458
00:26:05,275 --> 00:26:08,278
So we'll see you tomorrow.
Great job today. Thank you.
459
00:26:12,406 --> 00:26:13,532
Did you talk to Stella?
460
00:26:14,451 --> 00:26:17,244
I did. It's not in the cards this time.
461
00:26:19,288 --> 00:26:21,082
We've got the Phoenix debate next month.
462
00:26:21,165 --> 00:26:23,960
- If I were you, I would focus on...
- She said no? Did she say why?
463
00:26:24,044 --> 00:26:25,961
Okay, well…
464
00:26:27,588 --> 00:26:30,424
She loves you,
but the network is looking to showcase
465
00:26:30,508 --> 00:26:32,594
some other talents
at this particular moment.
466
00:26:32,676 --> 00:26:35,221
Okay, are they going
with a different Black journalist?
467
00:26:35,846 --> 00:26:37,348
A different gay journalist?
468
00:26:37,432 --> 00:26:39,183
- Hey. Good night.
- Good night.
469
00:26:41,603 --> 00:26:43,605
I actually don't think
it's what you're thinking.
470
00:26:43,688 --> 00:26:46,148
Okay. So then what is it, then?
471
00:26:46,232 --> 00:26:48,734
Stella doesn't think you have enough
of the "it" factor.
472
00:26:49,361 --> 00:26:52,697
- Enough of the "it" factor?
- I probably shouldn't be telling you this,
473
00:26:52,780 --> 00:26:57,952
but I think that Stella would prefer
you think that she's blind to your charms
474
00:26:58,036 --> 00:26:59,287
than she's a bigot.
475
00:26:59,371 --> 00:27:02,499
A person could be blind to my charms
because they are a bigot.
476
00:27:03,124 --> 00:27:04,166
How'd you respond?
477
00:27:06,461 --> 00:27:08,755
She knows I think she's being ridiculous.
478
00:27:11,508 --> 00:27:13,425
Listen, Earl, don't overcomplicate this.
479
00:27:14,385 --> 00:27:17,105
All I need you to do is find out
what stories Fred's trying to plant,
480
00:27:17,180 --> 00:27:19,974
where he's planting them, how he's
doing it, and if we can stop them.
481
00:27:20,057 --> 00:27:22,810
But nothing extrajudicial.
482
00:27:22,894 --> 00:27:25,020
Yeah, okay. I'll get back to you.
483
00:27:51,172 --> 00:27:52,173
Bradley.
484
00:27:52,257 --> 00:27:54,968
If it isn't the pride of West Virginia
and the 15th floor.
485
00:27:55,050 --> 00:27:56,194
I don't know who's moderating.
486
00:27:56,219 --> 00:27:58,530
I don't mean to sound full of myself,
but that's beneath me now.
487
00:27:58,555 --> 00:28:00,056
This isn't about that.
488
00:28:00,140 --> 00:28:01,974
- Can I come in?
- Yeah, sure.
489
00:28:07,271 --> 00:28:08,272
Can I get you a drink?
490
00:28:08,355 --> 00:28:10,525
No, I just wanna talk for a minute.
491
00:28:11,151 --> 00:28:12,443
Something wrong?
492
00:28:12,527 --> 00:28:13,528
No, no.
493
00:28:16,196 --> 00:28:17,365
Are you gonna sit down?
494
00:28:19,116 --> 00:28:20,160
Okay.
495
00:28:25,248 --> 00:28:31,128
Look, I know
that our friendship has suffered
496
00:28:31,212 --> 00:28:33,964
over the last little bit
with everything that's happened,
497
00:28:34,048 --> 00:28:37,635
and I... I'm not okay with that.
498
00:28:38,470 --> 00:28:40,596
And I hope
that you're not okay with that either.
499
00:28:41,181 --> 00:28:43,349
No. No, I'm not.
500
00:28:43,432 --> 00:28:46,519
But, hey,
let's consider the slate wiped clean.
501
00:28:48,438 --> 00:28:50,648
- That's it?
- That's it. It was that simple.
502
00:28:51,148 --> 00:28:54,027
Well, I don't want you to say
that the slate is wiped clean
503
00:28:54,109 --> 00:28:55,528
if the slate is not wiped clean,
504
00:28:55,612 --> 00:28:58,155
because it sounds a little bit
like you're trying to shut me up.
505
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,991
Bradley, I don't know
who's moderating the fucking debate.
506
00:29:01,076 --> 00:29:02,786
This is not about the debate, Cory.
507
00:29:02,868 --> 00:29:05,181
If you're not gonna treat me like the CEO
when you're furious at me,
508
00:29:05,204 --> 00:29:07,349
please don't treat me like a CEO
when you try to make up.
509
00:29:07,374 --> 00:29:10,794
Okay, fine.
I was pissed at you at New Year's Eve.
510
00:29:10,876 --> 00:29:13,462
And I've been a little bit aggressive
and abrasive towards you
511
00:29:13,547 --> 00:29:14,548
for the past six weeks.
512
00:29:14,631 --> 00:29:17,008
And I... I wanna apologize.
513
00:29:17,092 --> 00:29:19,301
And just because I'm abrasive
514
00:29:19,385 --> 00:29:22,055
doesn't mean that I don't care about
our fucking friendship.
515
00:29:25,642 --> 00:29:28,728
All right, that wasn't any good.
I... Let me just try that again.
516
00:29:29,938 --> 00:29:32,648
And don't look at me like that
when I'm trying to do this.
517
00:29:34,567 --> 00:29:37,194
I was not thrilled with you
for the past month and a half.
518
00:29:37,988 --> 00:29:42,534
But I have come to realize that
I haven't been entirely fair about it.
519
00:29:42,616 --> 00:29:43,826
Okay.
520
00:29:43,910 --> 00:29:48,163
And I know that you're the CEO
and that my needs aren't always…
521
00:29:49,164 --> 00:29:52,376
that you can't have a direct line
to all my needs and concerns,
522
00:29:52,460 --> 00:29:54,980
- 'cause you're juggling a lot.
- I have been pretty good to you.
523
00:29:55,005 --> 00:29:57,924
But I did have a reason to be angry.
I hope that's not what you're saying.
524
00:29:58,008 --> 00:30:01,845
- I am not saying that. Absolutely.
- Can we just get the fuck over this, Cory?
525
00:30:01,928 --> 00:30:03,387
Honestly.
526
00:30:09,435 --> 00:30:12,188
Love is never being able to say
you're sorry.
527
00:30:12,271 --> 00:30:13,272
I'm sorry.
528
00:30:15,608 --> 00:30:16,942
I'm sorry.
529
00:30:19,194 --> 00:30:20,614
I really am sorry.
530
00:30:21,239 --> 00:30:23,741
Oh, fuck.
531
00:30:28,579 --> 00:30:33,292
This is it. This is just all part
of the Bradley Jackson ride, isn't it?
532
00:30:33,792 --> 00:30:35,502
You know I'm never gonna be your enemy.
533
00:30:35,586 --> 00:30:38,506
I'm never going to let that happen.
I only want what's best for you.
534
00:30:38,589 --> 00:30:41,843
And for some inscrutable reason,
you won't just trust that that's true.
535
00:30:41,926 --> 00:30:44,447
I'm not saying I didn't do anything wrong.
I did, and I'm sorry.
536
00:30:44,471 --> 00:30:46,932
But I needed you to understand
that I had my reasons.
537
00:30:47,015 --> 00:30:49,976
And if you have an issue
with me or with anybody in the future,
538
00:30:50,059 --> 00:30:53,313
if you could just try to see your way
to not assume the worst from me.
539
00:30:53,395 --> 00:30:56,900
To not channel whatever it is
that you're feeling through that
540
00:30:56,982 --> 00:30:59,836
beautiful little anger prism that lives
in your heart and makes you so exciting,
541
00:30:59,861 --> 00:31:02,071
and know that I am there
to help you solve,
542
00:31:02,154 --> 00:31:04,950
or at least help you get through
any problems.
543
00:31:07,576 --> 00:31:09,328
I'm on your side.
544
00:31:10,454 --> 00:31:11,455
Always.
545
00:31:15,794 --> 00:31:17,753
Besides, I'm too old to have enemies.
546
00:31:17,836 --> 00:31:21,383
It's weird when you're 51 years old
and you got enemies. So…
547
00:31:21,967 --> 00:31:24,009
Anger wasn't really what I was feeling.
548
00:31:25,261 --> 00:31:27,471
Anger is just what I know what to do with.
549
00:31:28,097 --> 00:31:29,098
But hurt…
550
00:31:32,059 --> 00:31:33,859
And you didn't even do anything,
specifically,
551
00:31:33,936 --> 00:31:35,646
it just hurt because it was you.
552
00:31:57,167 --> 00:31:58,377
As far as moderator goes...
553
00:31:58,461 --> 00:32:00,461
- Oh, gosh, don't...
- No, I love that you want it.
554
00:32:00,505 --> 00:32:02,798
But a lot of people want it,
and Alex just came back.
555
00:32:02,883 --> 00:32:05,426
She made a splashy return,
so that's probably gonna happen.
556
00:32:05,509 --> 00:32:07,846
And I don't see
using two straight white women.
557
00:32:10,140 --> 00:32:11,682
Thank you for telling me.
558
00:32:12,808 --> 00:32:16,395
And I really... I really appreciate
everything you just said.
559
00:32:21,151 --> 00:32:22,527
Well, you know where I live.
560
00:32:27,365 --> 00:32:28,575
I do.
561
00:32:38,667 --> 00:32:40,002
- Did you call?
- No, I didn't.
562
00:32:40,086 --> 00:32:43,798
I was excited to tell you what happened.
And you said you weren't doing anything.
563
00:32:43,882 --> 00:32:47,009
Well, then it's a good thing
I was telling the truth.
564
00:32:47,093 --> 00:32:49,346
- Drink?
- No, I'm good.
565
00:32:50,055 --> 00:32:51,932
But I wanted to tell you
I took your advice,
566
00:32:52,015 --> 00:32:53,141
and it went really well.
567
00:32:54,226 --> 00:32:56,394
It did? You're getting the debate?
568
00:32:56,478 --> 00:33:00,105
No, but we made up.
Like, we actually made up.
569
00:33:00,773 --> 00:33:02,942
- Well, that's good.
- Yeah, it's good.
570
00:33:03,026 --> 00:33:05,237
And we didn't even really talk
about the debate.
571
00:33:05,319 --> 00:33:08,280
He... You know,
he knew I was there to work him,
572
00:33:08,365 --> 00:33:10,741
but he didn't really
rake me over the coals about it.
573
00:33:10,825 --> 00:33:13,494
And he offered a little context,
but I didn't pursue it
574
00:33:13,577 --> 00:33:15,788
because I didn't want to ruin
everything with work.
575
00:33:15,872 --> 00:33:17,123
But I get it.
576
00:33:17,207 --> 00:33:21,670
There's a lot of factors at play,
you know, business stuff, optics stuff,
577
00:33:21,752 --> 00:33:25,298
and it make sense
that Alex is gonna do it.
578
00:33:25,382 --> 00:33:28,175
You know, you can't trot out
two straight white women,
579
00:33:28,259 --> 00:33:30,178
especially if Bloomberg is gonna be
up there.
580
00:33:30,261 --> 00:33:34,057
You're going to really need diversity
to ask about stop and frisk.
581
00:33:35,267 --> 00:33:37,352
Bradley,
you just called yourself straight.
582
00:33:38,686 --> 00:33:42,566
Yeah, that's because
to most of the world, I am.
583
00:33:43,692 --> 00:33:45,402
And why is that exactly?
584
00:33:46,193 --> 00:33:48,153
Because most of the time I'm straight.
585
00:33:49,447 --> 00:33:53,117
Isn't it sort of antiquated
to try and nail this thing down so firmly?
586
00:33:53,201 --> 00:33:56,162
Isn't sexually fluid a thing?
587
00:33:56,746 --> 00:33:58,289
Is that what you're saying you are?
588
00:33:59,082 --> 00:34:01,084
No, I'm not saying I'm anything.
589
00:34:01,166 --> 00:34:04,253
I don't define every single thing I do.
I'm a sexual person.
590
00:34:04,336 --> 00:34:08,047
I once had a three-way with two men.
Does that make me a...
591
00:34:08,132 --> 00:34:09,217
A slut?
592
00:34:11,677 --> 00:34:12,971
This is not funny.
593
00:34:13,054 --> 00:34:16,931
Well… it's not funny to me, either.
594
00:34:17,016 --> 00:34:18,684
Then why are you laughing?
595
00:34:18,768 --> 00:34:21,730
Because I am amazed that you have it
so easy and you make it so hard.
596
00:34:21,813 --> 00:34:23,315
I have it easy?
597
00:34:23,398 --> 00:34:25,692
What am I supposed to do,
go into Stella's office and say,
598
00:34:25,775 --> 00:34:29,737
"I'm a gay bisexual type.
I want the debate. Now."
599
00:34:29,820 --> 00:34:31,155
We're talking about a situation
600
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,159
where you being different
can work to your advantage now.
601
00:34:34,951 --> 00:34:37,411
I kept my private life to myself
because I had to.
602
00:34:38,163 --> 00:34:41,041
It was 1997, and it was painful.
603
00:34:41,958 --> 00:34:43,751
And it sucked.
604
00:34:43,835 --> 00:34:48,088
But I slowly, quietly tried to live a life
that was more truthful.
605
00:34:48,172 --> 00:34:50,425
Not with the world,
but with my inner circle.
606
00:34:51,175 --> 00:34:52,677
But people talk.
607
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:56,264
They're fascinated by who's gay
and who's not for some fucking reason.
608
00:34:56,347 --> 00:34:59,141
Next thing I know,
YDA is handing me my walking papers.
609
00:34:59,726 --> 00:35:01,644
- They fired you?
- Of course they did.
610
00:35:01,728 --> 00:35:05,731
Why would I have quit that job
at that point in my career?
611
00:35:06,815 --> 00:35:10,945
I mean, it wasn't explicit.
They didn't literally hand me a pink slip.
612
00:35:12,072 --> 00:35:16,409
But when you're not wanted,
people find a way of letting you know.
613
00:35:17,534 --> 00:35:19,286
And, I don't know,
614
00:35:19,371 --> 00:35:22,916
I have to tell you
there is something inside me
615
00:35:22,998 --> 00:35:26,961
that wants to resent you
for not being grateful for this.
616
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,757
I see someone
who is walking the same path,
617
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,302
honestly, a path I helped lay.
618
00:35:34,385 --> 00:35:39,474
And it's a little annoying,
and I'm envious. That's it.
619
00:35:41,016 --> 00:35:43,978
I lost a job for being gay.
You should embrace it.
620
00:35:44,813 --> 00:35:46,940
I mean, it's not like you would be lying.
621
00:35:48,148 --> 00:35:51,987
I'm just not interested
in using my identity like that.
622
00:35:52,070 --> 00:35:53,237
I'm just not.
623
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,490
You're not interested
in it... it being your identity.
624
00:35:57,576 --> 00:35:59,369
But you don't seem to mind…
625
00:35:59,869 --> 00:36:02,581
identifying yourself as a Southerner.
626
00:36:03,748 --> 00:36:05,000
What do you mean by that?
627
00:36:05,750 --> 00:36:07,960
I think you grew up
in a part of the country
628
00:36:08,043 --> 00:36:11,005
that didn't accept people like me
and possibly you.
629
00:36:11,672 --> 00:36:16,052
And I think that you are repressed,
if you want my honest opinion.
630
00:36:17,846 --> 00:36:19,347
You know, this was a mistake.
631
00:36:20,264 --> 00:36:21,266
Okay.
632
00:36:22,099 --> 00:36:24,619
- Go live in your delusional world...
- I'm not delusional, Laura.
633
00:36:24,643 --> 00:36:27,898
And I'm not a country bumpkin,
and I'm not fucking repressed.
634
00:36:36,780 --> 00:36:39,385
- You're gonna have to pay for that.
- Well, you better start a tab.
635
00:36:39,409 --> 00:36:42,221
'Cause I'm gonna be breaking a lot
of shit around here. I'm not repressed.
636
00:36:42,244 --> 00:36:45,539
I guess you'll have to find
some other woman's vases to break then.
637
00:36:46,958 --> 00:36:48,126
Fine. I'll start now.
638
00:37:11,483 --> 00:37:12,733
How you feeling?
639
00:37:12,817 --> 00:37:16,028
Like I'm about to eat shit
for reasons I don't understand.
640
00:37:16,112 --> 00:37:17,112
And you?
641
00:37:17,864 --> 00:37:20,532
Like I'm always eating shit
for reasons I don't understand.
642
00:37:20,617 --> 00:37:22,577
At least you're not being accused
of being racist.
643
00:37:22,661 --> 00:37:25,329
I mean, I don't think I've used
that phrase, "spirit animal,"
644
00:37:25,413 --> 00:37:26,539
before, like, a week ago.
645
00:37:26,623 --> 00:37:28,791
I thought that was just
something people said.
646
00:37:28,875 --> 00:37:30,675
People are so caught up
in their own nonsense.
647
00:37:30,751 --> 00:37:32,503
It takes up so much space in their head.
648
00:37:32,586 --> 00:37:35,507
There's no room for anyone else
unless they put 'em in these little boxes.
649
00:37:35,590 --> 00:37:39,635
I get it. But what I don't understand is
how'd they decide which box I belonged in?
650
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,304
That's the thing that's tying my brain
in this Gordian knot.
651
00:37:42,389 --> 00:37:45,307
Like, how did I become Daniel,
the guy without the "it" factor?
652
00:37:46,559 --> 00:37:48,436
Back in 30 seconds, people.
653
00:37:49,103 --> 00:37:50,271
Well, I wish I could help,
654
00:37:50,355 --> 00:37:53,858
but just about that time for Yanko,
the racially insensitive Cuban weatherman,
655
00:37:53,942 --> 00:37:55,025
to eat that shit.
656
00:38:02,701 --> 00:38:04,077
Stand by, 1.
657
00:38:04,159 --> 00:38:05,619
Take it, 1.
658
00:38:05,704 --> 00:38:07,914
Vermont senator Bernie Sanders…
659
00:38:07,998 --> 00:38:11,543
Mia, I have no clue why he called me,
660
00:38:11,626 --> 00:38:14,963
but Bernadette Peters's agent just told me
she's not gonna make it in time.
661
00:38:16,380 --> 00:38:17,840
So much for special surprises.
662
00:38:17,923 --> 00:38:20,802
Okay, let's just get a surprise at least.
663
00:38:20,885 --> 00:38:23,762
Talk to Matt. Try to wrangle somebody
who's already in the building.
664
00:38:23,847 --> 00:38:26,599
- He'll know who's here this early. Hurry.
- Got it. Got it. Okay.
665
00:38:26,682 --> 00:38:28,476
What happened to COVID-18?
666
00:38:28,559 --> 00:38:33,773
Hey, so Bullard is pre-taping
right now upstairs with Stern.
667
00:38:34,608 --> 00:38:37,193
- Shit. Yes. Brilliant. Yeah.
- Okay. Yeah. It's on 8.
668
00:38:37,277 --> 00:38:38,820
- Thank you.
- Okay.
669
00:38:39,487 --> 00:38:40,887
- What you doing?
- Vermont senator…
670
00:38:40,947 --> 00:38:43,134
I was telling her Bullard's doing
a pre-tape with Stern.
671
00:38:43,157 --> 00:38:44,838
Howard was talking about it last week, so…
672
00:38:44,867 --> 00:38:46,994
Don't undermine me with my staff.
673
00:38:47,077 --> 00:38:50,206
- …coverage tonight on UBA Evening News.
- I was trying to help.
674
00:38:50,289 --> 00:38:52,166
Then don't fucking undermine my authority.
675
00:38:52,250 --> 00:38:53,585
Do you not want me here?
676
00:38:53,668 --> 00:38:58,547
…illness caused by the novel coronavirus
that's making its way across the globe.
677
00:38:58,632 --> 00:39:00,759
COVID-19 is what they're calling it.
678
00:39:01,842 --> 00:39:05,096
And that's your update for today
in the eight o'clock hour.
679
00:39:05,179 --> 00:39:06,181
Everything okay?
680
00:39:06,264 --> 00:39:09,059
…135 people quarantined
on the Diamond Princess.
681
00:39:09,141 --> 00:39:10,143
Hunky dory.
682
00:39:10,226 --> 00:39:13,027
- Not the vacation people had in mind…
- Just need a new special guest.
683
00:39:13,063 --> 00:39:14,146
Absolutely not. No.
684
00:39:14,231 --> 00:39:16,733
Before we move on,
you wanted to say something, Yanko?
685
00:39:16,815 --> 00:39:21,612
Yes, I do. I do.
So, back on Groundhog Day
686
00:39:21,695 --> 00:39:25,115
I flippantly used
the term "spirit animal"
687
00:39:25,199 --> 00:39:28,954
to describe how I felt
about Punxsutawney Phil, the groundhog.
688
00:39:29,036 --> 00:39:33,083
And since then,
it's been brought to my attention that,
689
00:39:33,166 --> 00:39:36,168
as somebody
without any Native American heritage,
690
00:39:36,253 --> 00:39:38,045
that for me to use that term,
691
00:39:38,128 --> 00:39:40,840
that it might be considered insensitive,
692
00:39:40,923 --> 00:39:42,985
- as it misappropriates…
- Of course he said "might be." Fuck.
693
00:39:43,009 --> 00:39:45,929
…what many Native Americans,
hold to be sacred,
694
00:39:46,012 --> 00:39:47,556
culturally and spiritually.
695
00:39:47,639 --> 00:39:51,309
Those who know me best,
which I hope includes our regular viewers,
696
00:39:51,393 --> 00:39:53,478
know that I...
I'd never say something that...
697
00:39:53,561 --> 00:39:56,481
To intentionally
make light of another culture,
698
00:39:56,565 --> 00:39:58,233
and it pains me to know that…
699
00:39:58,315 --> 00:40:01,027
- That's not gonna make #YankYanko go away.
- …some of you…
700
00:40:01,110 --> 00:40:02,713
You're done going easy on your weatherman.
701
00:40:02,737 --> 00:40:05,322
- And for that I sincerely apologize.
- I'm using your office.
702
00:40:05,407 --> 00:40:09,494
And I will continue to try to learn
and do better.
703
00:40:11,663 --> 00:40:13,139
- Hey. Good morning, Cory.
- All right.
704
00:40:13,164 --> 00:40:15,041
So where do we stand
on the moderators?
705
00:40:15,125 --> 00:40:17,210
- This has to get done today.
- Eric's a go.
706
00:40:17,293 --> 00:40:19,963
So is Deena Pham from the Alt Weekly
for the local angle.
707
00:40:20,045 --> 00:40:22,215
- And?
- I'm leading with what I know.
708
00:40:22,298 --> 00:40:24,059
If you're asking about Alex,
she won't do it.
709
00:40:24,717 --> 00:40:27,219
I mean, I'll say it again, Noorean.
710
00:40:27,304 --> 00:40:31,599
But if that doesn't do it for you,
there's Daniel, Roger, Bradley.
711
00:40:31,682 --> 00:40:34,018
They've all made it clear
that they'd kill for it.
712
00:40:35,019 --> 00:40:37,355
Jesus. God.
713
00:40:37,438 --> 00:40:41,860
All I am trying to do is
get us to mid-March in one fucking piece
714
00:40:41,943 --> 00:40:44,737
so we can launch this streaming service,
which the world is mad about,
715
00:40:44,820 --> 00:40:47,699
like we're gonna force-feed them
content to make human foie gras.
716
00:40:47,782 --> 00:40:51,369
So if I can't count on you to do this,
why did I give you the job?
717
00:40:51,452 --> 00:40:56,333
You didn't have to sell us your company.
You chose this shit. This is the job.
718
00:40:56,416 --> 00:40:59,335
You know, I've been wondering
the same thing myself.
719
00:40:59,418 --> 00:41:01,128
Why did you bring me on?
720
00:41:01,213 --> 00:41:03,797
What was the point if you weren't gonna
listen to anything I say?
721
00:41:03,882 --> 00:41:05,467
So you can parade an Asian woman around
722
00:41:05,550 --> 00:41:08,594
and get the social capital
from pretending you cared?
723
00:41:08,677 --> 00:41:10,722
Don't just pay lip service
to empowering me.
724
00:41:10,804 --> 00:41:12,766
Either really do it or let me walk.
725
00:41:12,849 --> 00:41:16,268
Alex was never my choice for anything.
If that's who you want, do it yourself.
726
00:41:16,353 --> 00:41:19,688
You are underestimating me,
and you're underestimating Alex.
727
00:41:19,773 --> 00:41:23,150
So cut that shit. Talent is talent.
728
00:41:23,235 --> 00:41:26,403
And understanding that is
an executive's only talent.
729
00:41:26,487 --> 00:41:28,572
Generational talents
on multi-year contracts
730
00:41:28,657 --> 00:41:31,909
who happen to meet your
exacting standards, good fucking luck.
731
00:41:31,992 --> 00:41:36,248
So make this work now or don't.
732
00:41:36,331 --> 00:41:37,873
And see who you're spiting.
733
00:41:37,958 --> 00:41:41,753
Got it. Everything done the same
by a young, Asian woman equals different.
734
00:41:50,887 --> 00:41:51,887
Shit.
735
00:41:56,393 --> 00:41:57,393
What?
736
00:42:06,860 --> 00:42:08,822
- Yeah?
- It's Earl.
737
00:42:08,905 --> 00:42:09,905
Well, that was quick.
738
00:42:09,989 --> 00:42:13,867
Didn't take long to see the genie wasn't
going back in to retract the stories.
739
00:42:13,952 --> 00:42:16,954
Just too many blogs,
sites, papers, whatever.
740
00:42:17,038 --> 00:42:19,248
It won't be the Times,
but someone will publish.
741
00:42:19,331 --> 00:42:21,626
People are rotten.
It's why I have a business.
742
00:42:21,710 --> 00:42:24,670
Only thing I can see doing,
the extrajudicial being off the table,
743
00:42:24,753 --> 00:42:25,797
is go directly to Fred,
744
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:27,673
which you didn't want me to do, correct?
745
00:42:27,757 --> 00:42:29,550
Yeah. Thanks.
746
00:42:38,726 --> 00:42:40,311
I'm looking forward to The Twist.
747
00:42:52,157 --> 00:42:53,157
- Hey, you.
- Hey.
748
00:42:53,240 --> 00:42:54,826
- How you doing?
- Good. Good.
749
00:42:54,909 --> 00:42:56,869
- How are you?
- Good, good.
750
00:42:56,952 --> 00:42:58,996
- Just getting through the show.
- Yeah.
751
00:42:59,079 --> 00:43:01,708
With a lot of "Welcome back, Alex"
over the top, but…
752
00:43:02,918 --> 00:43:06,253
It's gotta be a lot.
And then the debate prep is… That's...
753
00:43:06,338 --> 00:43:08,757
Oh, yeah. No, I'm...
I'm not doing the debate.
754
00:43:09,382 --> 00:43:11,981
- What do you mean? You turned it down?
- I'm not doing it. I did.
755
00:43:12,052 --> 00:43:15,554
And listen, if you want to do it,
756
00:43:15,639 --> 00:43:19,726
I would throw yourself at it right now
because she's like a dog with a bone. Sh...
757
00:43:19,809 --> 00:43:21,561
Alex, you're up in a minute.
758
00:43:22,269 --> 00:43:23,813
- To be continued.
- Okay.
759
00:43:28,193 --> 00:43:30,695
Gayle. Yeah, is Stella still here?
760
00:43:30,778 --> 00:43:32,197
I saw her a minute ago.
761
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,990
- How much longer do I have?
- About six minutes. Why?
762
00:43:35,074 --> 00:43:36,159
I'll be right back.
763
00:43:37,409 --> 00:43:39,579
Okay, we're back in seven seconds.
764
00:43:40,163 --> 00:43:42,916
What's the pianist doing?
Bernadette's not here. We killed the song.
765
00:43:42,998 --> 00:43:44,041
Camera 2.
766
00:43:45,251 --> 00:43:48,463
And we are so happy to have Alex back,
767
00:43:48,547 --> 00:43:52,509
as you can tell from all the great guests
we've had already this week.
768
00:43:52,592 --> 00:43:54,677
- Daniel, what are you doing?
- You know…
769
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:59,099
- Get back on script.
- …it's an interesting time in America.
770
00:43:59,181 --> 00:44:00,952
- What the hell is happening?
- We, the people,
771
00:44:00,976 --> 00:44:02,476
are asking tough questions.
772
00:44:02,561 --> 00:44:04,061
- The fuck?
- Our candidates…
773
00:44:04,144 --> 00:44:06,565
- Isabella?
- I had Howard Stern.
774
00:44:06,648 --> 00:44:08,315
And we're just all looking to live…
775
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,568
- Stick with it. Stick with it.
- Stick with it.
776
00:44:11,902 --> 00:44:15,907
And when I think of the American dream…
777
00:44:16,992 --> 00:44:19,159
I think of one person in particular.
778
00:44:23,039 --> 00:44:25,958
And so this song is in her honor.
779
00:44:29,503 --> 00:44:31,130
I don't see copy for this.
780
00:44:32,215 --> 00:44:37,387
Far We've been traveling far
781
00:44:37,469 --> 00:44:38,471
Good God.
782
00:44:38,554 --> 00:44:40,347
Without a home
783
00:44:40,431 --> 00:44:42,309
- Is this normal?
- No.
784
00:44:42,391 --> 00:44:45,269
But not without a star
785
00:44:46,855 --> 00:44:52,110
Free Only want to be free
786
00:44:53,027 --> 00:44:56,447
We huddle close
787
00:44:56,530 --> 00:44:59,826
Hang on to a dream
788
00:45:02,077 --> 00:45:04,581
On the boats and on the planes
789
00:45:05,664 --> 00:45:08,335
They're comin' to America
790
00:45:08,418 --> 00:45:10,503
Stella. Hey.
791
00:45:12,672 --> 00:45:13,757
I have something to say.
792
00:45:14,340 --> 00:45:16,717
Can you talk in my dressing room?
793
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,304
It won't take long.
I have to be back on air in a minute.
794
00:45:19,387 --> 00:45:21,139
- Sure. What the hell.
- Great.
795
00:45:23,182 --> 00:45:24,516
Yeah.
796
00:45:25,226 --> 00:45:26,228
So…
797
00:45:29,188 --> 00:45:31,349
- I want to talk to you about the debate.
- Oh, Christ.
798
00:45:31,398 --> 00:45:34,777
Look, I know everybody is coming at you,
and I don't need to come at you too.
799
00:45:34,860 --> 00:45:37,989
And I'm not gonna argue
my political acumen
800
00:45:38,072 --> 00:45:41,076
or my intellectual merits
or any of that bullshit.
801
00:45:41,159 --> 00:45:44,246
Quite frankly, I know that you want Alex
to moderate the debate,
802
00:45:44,329 --> 00:45:46,748
and I respect that,
and I think she would be great.
803
00:45:47,373 --> 00:45:50,626
However, I think that I can offer
804
00:45:50,710 --> 00:45:54,422
a perspective that Alex doesn't
and that Eric doesn't.
805
00:45:54,922 --> 00:45:59,719
And… this is just something
I barely acknowledge about myself
806
00:45:59,802 --> 00:46:05,641
because, quite honestly,
I just don't know how I feel about it.
807
00:46:06,226 --> 00:46:09,980
But I want to be truthful.
808
00:46:17,903 --> 00:46:19,072
I'm…
809
00:46:23,159 --> 00:46:24,159
I'm…
810
00:46:29,331 --> 00:46:32,460
from a Southern, conservative family.
811
00:46:35,088 --> 00:46:39,717
And I think it would be more inclusive
if I asked questions
812
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:43,847
from the background
of a person who comes from a…
813
00:46:45,097 --> 00:46:47,057
conservative, Southern background,
814
00:46:47,141 --> 00:46:49,853
I mean, you know,
questions they might ask.
815
00:46:49,936 --> 00:46:52,021
Today
816
00:46:52,105 --> 00:46:53,606
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
817
00:46:53,690 --> 00:46:56,985
Today, today
818
00:46:57,068 --> 00:46:58,820
Today
819
00:46:58,903 --> 00:47:01,072
Today
820
00:47:01,155 --> 00:47:03,449
Today
821
00:47:04,367 --> 00:47:07,786
My country 'tis of thee
822
00:47:08,663 --> 00:47:12,333
Sweet land of liberty
823
00:47:14,168 --> 00:47:16,378
Of thee I sing
824
00:47:16,463 --> 00:47:18,882
We should...
We should take him out for a drink later.
825
00:47:18,965 --> 00:47:21,635
Of thee I sing
826
00:47:21,717 --> 00:47:24,346
Today
827
00:47:25,387 --> 00:47:27,514
Today
828
00:47:35,148 --> 00:47:36,650
- Stella.
- Yeah? What's up?
829
00:47:36,733 --> 00:47:39,693
I sent Unilever yesterday's TMS overnight.
830
00:47:39,777 --> 00:47:41,780
- Uh-huh.
- They just made a huge buy for Dove.
831
00:47:41,862 --> 00:47:43,697
They hadn't bought since before Alex left.
832
00:47:43,782 --> 00:47:45,032
Wow. That's... Glad to hear it.
833
00:47:45,115 --> 00:47:47,827
Big week for us. Is that Daniel singing?
834
00:47:47,911 --> 00:47:51,498
But seriously, it's gonna be the best
February sweeps since I've been here.
835
00:47:51,581 --> 00:47:55,251
I think we'll get CPM up to 30%
for the foreseeable, thanks to Alex.
836
00:47:55,335 --> 00:47:56,710
Thanks to you.
837
00:47:56,795 --> 00:47:58,003
Swing by later.
838
00:47:58,088 --> 00:47:59,838
- I'll show you the numbers.
- Okay, cool.
839
00:48:02,132 --> 00:48:05,262
Today
840
00:48:08,222 --> 00:48:09,224
Today!
841
00:48:11,184 --> 00:48:17,190
Three, give me Daniel. Take 3.
Four, wide. Take it, 4.
842
00:48:20,068 --> 00:48:21,110
God!
843
00:48:22,987 --> 00:48:25,907
- Cut to Alex. Cut to Alex.
- Wow! What?
844
00:48:26,532 --> 00:48:28,867
Oh, my gosh!
845
00:48:28,952 --> 00:48:32,581
- Here comes Alex. Two, get her.
- What on earth just happened?
846
00:48:32,664 --> 00:48:35,250
- Daniel! Oh, my God! Daniel!
- For you, Alex.
847
00:48:35,333 --> 00:48:38,128
- Nice job. Stay with her.
- That was incredible!
848
00:48:38,210 --> 00:48:40,255
- Thank you for that.
- Welcome back.
849
00:48:40,963 --> 00:48:42,423
So sweet.
850
00:48:43,675 --> 00:48:47,219
I mean, God, I knew you had a voice,
but that was...
851
00:48:47,971 --> 00:48:50,431
Oh, my gosh. Are you... Bradley? Yanko?
852
00:48:52,559 --> 00:48:54,768
- Hey, great show.
- Thanks, man.
853
00:48:58,856 --> 00:49:00,567
What the fuck was that, Bojangles?
854
00:49:28,969 --> 00:49:29,971
Yeah!
855
00:49:31,431 --> 00:49:33,974
Oh, my God.
Stella, why are you doing this?
856
00:49:34,559 --> 00:49:38,230
I'm giving you the answer that you want.
I'm gonna tell Cory you tried. I promise.
857
00:49:39,481 --> 00:49:41,900
Alex, I know you have
way more experience than I do,
858
00:49:41,983 --> 00:49:43,735
but you don't know what I want.
859
00:49:43,818 --> 00:49:47,280
Because what I want in its broadest terms
has very little to do with you.
860
00:49:47,364 --> 00:49:49,282
What I want is to change things here.
861
00:49:50,659 --> 00:49:54,161
Put yourself in my shoes.
Alex. Alex, look at me.
862
00:49:54,746 --> 00:49:55,914
Yes.
863
00:49:55,996 --> 00:49:58,375
If you were me,
wouldn't you want to start fresh?
864
00:49:58,458 --> 00:49:59,960
- I suppose I would.
- Okay.
865
00:50:00,043 --> 00:50:03,338
I think we would all love to start fresh,
but we don't all have that opportunity.
866
00:50:03,420 --> 00:50:05,507
- Right.
- I am what I am.
867
00:50:05,590 --> 00:50:07,132
All right. Here it is.
868
00:50:07,217 --> 00:50:08,217
I'm young. I get it.
869
00:50:08,300 --> 00:50:10,737
- I'd be annoyed by me too, if I were you...
- No, no, no, no.
870
00:50:10,762 --> 00:50:14,014
No, that's not why I'm saying no.
Don't... Don't even...
871
00:50:14,099 --> 00:50:15,684
- Okay, just hear me out.
- Yes, okay.
872
00:50:16,393 --> 00:50:20,480
This place was a rotten mess,
and you were living in it for 15 years.
873
00:50:20,563 --> 00:50:23,023
I said it was a rotten mess. I said it.
874
00:50:23,108 --> 00:50:25,360
I know I shouldn't lump you
into the rotten mess,
875
00:50:25,443 --> 00:50:27,195
because you tried to change it. You tried.
876
00:50:27,278 --> 00:50:28,713
- Yes.
- That's the same thing I want.
877
00:50:28,737 --> 00:50:32,617
You tried. But the jury's still out
as to whether or not you've succeeded.
878
00:50:32,701 --> 00:50:34,077
And I'm here as a result.
879
00:50:34,159 --> 00:50:35,829
- I'm sorry about that.
- Excuse me.
880
00:50:35,911 --> 00:50:37,871
Wow. Yes. Yes.
881
00:50:37,956 --> 00:50:39,248
And I'm 33.
882
00:50:39,331 --> 00:50:41,793
And, you know,
I don't know the things I don't know.
883
00:50:41,876 --> 00:50:46,130
I know that. But I do know some things
that other people don't know,
884
00:50:46,213 --> 00:50:48,592
and other people don't always want
to know that.
885
00:50:48,675 --> 00:50:52,094
- You know what I mean?
- I do. Yep. No, I do. I do.
886
00:50:52,177 --> 00:50:54,556
I know you don't want to
or need to do this debate,
887
00:50:54,639 --> 00:50:56,056
but I want you to do it.
888
00:50:56,141 --> 00:50:57,893
And the reason why is because of exactly
889
00:50:57,976 --> 00:51:00,478
what you did nine months ago here
that changed everything,
890
00:51:00,561 --> 00:51:03,356
that brought me here in front of you
asking you to do this.
891
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:06,275
You earned a connection
to the women of this country.
892
00:51:11,322 --> 00:51:14,992
I'm not…
I'm not quite sure that that's true.
893
00:51:15,076 --> 00:51:17,454
It is. You mean something, Alex.
894
00:51:17,536 --> 00:51:23,083
You do. As a leader, as a feminist.
And I want you to be these things for me.
895
00:51:23,168 --> 00:51:26,128
And, by the way, if you're looking
for a brand, there it is.
896
00:51:26,670 --> 00:51:29,132
I don't know why
you don't want to take that mantle,
897
00:51:29,798 --> 00:51:34,804
because nine months ago you opened a door,
and you need to walk through it now.
898
00:51:34,887 --> 00:51:37,264
And we both know that. Okay?
899
00:51:38,391 --> 00:51:39,601
Okay.
900
00:51:40,809 --> 00:51:43,771
Anyway, it was a great show today.
901
00:51:44,521 --> 00:51:45,523
Thank you.
902
00:52:06,670 --> 00:52:08,088
Yeah.
903
00:52:08,170 --> 00:52:13,802
Hey, the professor you so kindly got me
the interview with, he just called.
904
00:52:13,885 --> 00:52:15,219
He has coronavirus.
905
00:52:16,304 --> 00:52:18,431
I was with him for a few hours.
906
00:52:19,266 --> 00:52:23,311
Now, I don't know if I did get it,
if I could have given it to you,
907
00:52:23,394 --> 00:52:25,855
but I was with you
for a few hours in a car.
908
00:52:25,938 --> 00:52:28,733
It's totally crazy. It's bad.
909
00:52:28,817 --> 00:52:31,570
There are many cases, and it's everywhere.
910
00:52:32,112 --> 00:52:33,405
Yeah. Fuck.
911
00:52:34,114 --> 00:52:36,074
They are saying we have to quarantine.
912
00:52:36,157 --> 00:52:39,661
And it's a long time to spend alone.
913
00:52:42,163 --> 00:52:44,248
We could work on the documentary.
914
00:52:45,583 --> 00:52:47,293
What do you think?
915
00:53:05,394 --> 00:53:06,396
Hey.
916
00:53:08,606 --> 00:53:10,858
I know I have a lot of nerve
showing up here.
917
00:53:13,068 --> 00:53:14,403
I got you this.
918
00:53:15,822 --> 00:53:19,617
It's a gift card. $300.
919
00:53:22,077 --> 00:53:25,373
I didn't know what to...
I... Look, I don't know who I am.
920
00:53:25,456 --> 00:53:27,958
I don't...
I know I'm a total pain in the ass,
921
00:53:28,043 --> 00:53:30,545
but I just... I want to tell you that
922
00:53:30,628 --> 00:53:33,672
because I want you to know
that I know that I am.
923
00:53:40,639 --> 00:53:42,264
Please. Please.
924
00:54:13,170 --> 00:54:16,173
I need a minute with Cybil,
if I can get you to clear the room.
925
00:54:16,257 --> 00:54:17,384
Thank you.
926
00:54:24,349 --> 00:54:28,103
Well, this is a new one on me.
I can only imagine.
927
00:54:29,436 --> 00:54:30,605
I need your help.
928
00:54:31,648 --> 00:54:35,693
Fred is planting nasty stories
about Hannah Shoenfeld in the press.
929
00:54:35,777 --> 00:54:39,614
I mean, it's gross.
I don't care if her father is suing us.
930
00:54:39,697 --> 00:54:41,365
Frankly, I understand. I...
931
00:54:41,449 --> 00:54:47,621
Look, I get it.
Losing a child is… unimaginable pain.
932
00:54:48,873 --> 00:54:53,168
But it is not our responsibility
to make it okay for this poor guy.
933
00:54:53,253 --> 00:54:56,380
And trust me,
it won't make it okay for him.
934
00:54:56,463 --> 00:54:59,050
Nothing will.
So, what do you want me to do about it?
935
00:54:59,134 --> 00:55:02,387
I want you to talk to Fred
and tell him to kill the stories.
936
00:55:02,469 --> 00:55:04,431
He's not gonna listen to me,
and you're friends...
937
00:55:04,514 --> 00:55:05,891
That guy's not my friend.
938
00:55:07,141 --> 00:55:08,684
The last time I talked to him,
939
00:55:08,768 --> 00:55:12,230
he sat me down and told me that you were
objectively the best business decision.
940
00:55:12,313 --> 00:55:15,025
Now, I really don't think so.
941
00:55:15,108 --> 00:55:19,153
You let the talent walk all over you,
if you can call Bradley Jackson talent,
942
00:55:19,237 --> 00:55:22,072
and you pushed us hard to pay out Fred
943
00:55:22,157 --> 00:55:25,619
rather than have
a truly independent investigation.
944
00:55:26,952 --> 00:55:29,998
That brings up all sorts of questions.
945
00:55:30,081 --> 00:55:32,083
Questions I don't need answered.
946
00:55:32,918 --> 00:55:35,795
This is a business, not a morality play.
947
00:55:35,878 --> 00:55:37,797
So don't lay that trip on me.
948
00:55:38,422 --> 00:55:40,717
If the stories he's planting aren't true,
949
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:44,804
then the girl's family will have
a hell of a libel case on their hands.
950
00:55:44,887 --> 00:55:48,599
The fact that you showed up here
rather than calling Fred directly
951
00:55:48,682 --> 00:55:53,103
tells me everything I need to know
about why Fred pushed so hard for you
952
00:55:53,188 --> 00:55:55,856
when he clearly hated you with a passion.
953
00:55:57,817 --> 00:56:00,277
Two shitty peas in one shitty pod.
954
00:56:00,362 --> 00:56:04,365
I guess it's time to face the fact
that actions have consequences,
955
00:56:04,449 --> 00:56:06,952
and I keep my temple clean.
956
00:56:07,034 --> 00:56:13,500
So whatever those consequences are
is really none of my business.
957
00:56:16,835 --> 00:56:18,463
Give my regards to Fred.
