Summary

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, veteran correspondent Scott Pelley has accused CBS News executive Bari Weiss of ‘murdering’ 60 Minutes. “She was brought in to kill it, and she’s been doing exactly that,” Pelley said of his boss at a heated meeting Monday. Pelley reportedly deplored the “catastrophic” changes Weiss has made to the “CBS Evening News,” a show he hosted from 2011 to 2017. Also audio from Scott Pelly breaking down an interview with former Acting Direcor of the FBI Andrew McCabe discussing what we have come to know as the Russian hoax, and hilarious headlines from the Babylon Bee.
