| 0:14.1 | Well, Jake Novak, the great columnist, TV anchor, Jake Novak on Twitter. |

| 0:40.8 | years since i graduated college at mark and i still wasn't drafted by the nfl i mean when are they |
| 0:45.0 | going to pick me i mean really i i'm not i don't care about the chador sanders waiting five |
| 0:49.3 | rounds i've been waiting 33 years i would give you a really good player at a sudden why i don't |
| 0:53.2 | notice me but i love i love football but is something wrong with me? I cannot watch the draft. I don't care. I don't want to watch it. No, that means you're a normal person. These people who go to the draft and start going crazy over players, they have no idea whether they're going to succeed or not, even the ones who are highly touted. This is such a level of overkill. And my prediction is, well, I don't think anything will kill the NFL's popularity. My prediction is 20 years from now we're going to look back at these draft events and laugh at how crazy we were to make such a huge deal. I think you're just saying, Mark, that's all I'm saying. All right. Speaking of bad events, that White House Correspondents Association, so for what I hear, the big table buyers had trouble filling their tables. A lot of people don't even care about going anymore. What's going to happen with that? |
| 1:37.0 | Well, it's in huge trouble. I mean, look, after Trump, I can't imagine, I mean, it's not going to really look good if a Democrat is elected, and they suddenly make this into, they're trying to make it like the Met Gala. You know, I think they used to call it like the nerd Oscars or something like that. People would come. And it was just a way of trying to make celebrity out of people who are involved in politics, which I think is never a good thing. Like, you know, don't make them into, like, celebrities and you're hobnobbing with them. |
| 2:02.5 | I mean, that's not good. And, you know, for years, like, you know, you've been around, you remember. Like, they've always had, like, controversial comedians who come to these things. I remember Don Imus caused a huge issue years ago when Clinton was president. like why do I mean you can why do you need a comedian it's it's the white house |
| 2:00.5 | correspondence event like do they, I mean, you can, why do you need a comedian? |
| 2:18.4 | It's the White House correspondence event. Like, do something else. I just, they just don't seem to get this out of their head. And, yeah, I think it's in trouble because especially if someone, you know, if someone like J.D. Vance is elected in Exeter Marco Rubio, I can't imagine them wanting to make a big deal out of the White House correspondence |
| 2:14.5 | and then if it's someone on the Democrat side |
| 2:16.6 | aren't they going to be against all this lavishness and pomp and circumstance too? It's definitely in trouble. And I know that there's a charity involved with it. And I'm certainly hoping that that charity is worthy and gets money from other places. But I think it's time to end this. Hey, 60 Minutes last night at the end, Scott Pelley goes rogue and does a piece attacking CBS for |
| 2:59.3 | interfering in the show, forcing the producer to quit. What does this mean? Is that going to be |
| 3:03.7 | the end of 60 minutes after this? Oh, Mark, I missed the part of that last minute where he resigned. Why did he tell you so upset about the fact that things that, you know, that there's some oversight of their stories and that their executive producer resign. Why is he still on the program? That's a good point. I mean, it's still the poison tree that he just described. I don't understand that. He's not a young man. He probably |
| 3:25.0 | has made much more money than you and I have ever seen. I think he can probably afford it. |
| 3:28.9 | He'll probably make a lot of money on the speaker's circuit, too. So this is just an incredible, |
| 3:34.1 | just virtue signaling show. Look, we know the real story is. I mean, can we get to the nitty-gritty of why they got in trouble? |
| 3:42.8 | They literally took one of Kamala Harris's answers from one, the one question, and edited into another question so that she would seem less incoherent. |
| 3:50.9 | How is that journalism? |
