Summary
An audio recording of the most explosive staff meeting we’ve ever heard was leaked to several news outlets. In the recording, there is a heated exchange between former Evening News anchor and ’60 Minutes’ correspondent Scott Pelley and newly appointed Executive Producer Nick Bilton. We go over the jaw dropping back and forth which included Pelley telling Bilton he and Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss aren’t qualified for their positions. We’ll also explain why Bari Weiss herself chose not to be at the meeting.

| 0:06.0 | Hey there, folks. It is Tuesday, June 2nd. |
| 0:09.1 | And apparently that clock ticking at the beginning of every 60 minutes episode is attached to a time bomb. |
| 0:17.5 | And it appears this sucker is about to go off after a, what's described as an explosive meeting between the staff and the new boss of that show. |
| 0:29.3 | And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and T.J. These are meetings, robs. We have been in plenty over the years. Never seen one quite go like this. |
