THAT AN AWAY PLAYER WHO IS
UNVACCINATED CAN PLAY IN
BARCLAY’S BUT THE HOME PLAYER
CAN’T.
>> Dana: QUESTIONING THAT HAS
KEPT KYRIE IRVING FROM PLAYING
THIS YEAR.
IT IS TRUE SINCE THE BEGINNING
OF THE RULE.
>> THERE IS NO SCIENCE BEHIND
THIS.
WE KNOW THAT.
IF THEY WERE TO STICK WITH THE
RULE THE DUMBEST BASKETBALL
DECISION EVER MADE.
I ONCE BOUGHT SEASON TICKETS TO
THE KNICKS.
HERE IS THE MONEY DEAL.
I BRING UP MONEY FOR A REASON.
ADAM SILVER HAS A LOT HANGING
IN THE BALANCE FINANCIALLY HERE.
WHY?
THE NETS HAVE GONE FROM FIRST
TO -- THIS IS A MONSTER TV
MARKET AND THEY NEED THIS
MARKET IN THE PLAYOFFS FOR TV
RATINGS.
AND THEIR ONLY HOPE IF THENETS
FALL IS THE KNICKS.
THAT WON’T HAPPEN.
THEY’RE SO BAD IF YOU GET THERE
EARLY YOU CAN PLAY.
>> Bill: THEY ARE BETTER THAN
THEY’VE BEEN IN A LONG TIME.
I WANT TO GET BACK TO THE
SILVER SOUND BITE.
SO ABSURD WHAT HE SAID.
I DON’T KNOW WHY THE
COMMISSIONER DIDN’T STEP IN ON
THIS.
IF YOU ARE NOT VACCINATED AND
YOU TRAVEL TO NEW YORK TO PLAY
BASKETBALL IN BROOKLYN YOU CAN
PLAY BUT THE GUY ON THE TEAM
CAN’T TAKE THE FLOOR.
>> IT’S INSANE.
>> Bill: THAT’S ABSURD AS THE
SUPER BOWL IN THE STADIUM KIDS
WERE PLAYING INSTRUMENTS
WEARING MASKS AND ADULTS WERE SINGING WITHOUT A MASK.
SINGING WITHOUT A MASK.
>> DIFFERENT RULES THERE.
THE NETS -- IT’S HIM K.D.
YOU CAN FLY IN FROM MILWAUKEE
AND GET ON THE COURT.
WE’RE NOT TALKING SCIENCE.
ERIC ADAMS I WANT TO BRING HIM
UP QUICK.
>> Dana: HERE IS ERIC ADAMS,
MAYOR OF NEW YORK ON THIS.
>> I THINK IT’S UNFAIR.
I’M NOT SURE IF A BOSTON FAN
CREATED THIS RULE.
I DON’T KNOW.
BUT I AM REALLY, REALLY LEERY
ABOUT SENDING THE WRONG MESSAGE.
THE RULE WAS PUT IN PLACE TO
START CHANGING IT NOW I THINK
WILL SEND MIXED MESSAGES.
>> Dana: IT IS OKAY TO BE BOLD
AND TO MAKE A DECISION AND SAY
WE’RE DONE WITH THIS.
>> I WILL TALK IN BASKETBALL
TERMS.
AN AIR BALL BY ERIC ADAMS.
WHOEVER IS DRAWING UP HIS
POLITICAL STRATEGY SENDING THE
PLAYS IS DOPEY.
HERE IS THE THING.
IT WAS A RULE THAT CAME INTO
EFFECT UNDER BILL DEBLASIO THE
LEAST POPULAR MAYOR WE’VE EVER
HAD.
IF YOU’RE ERIC ADAMS YOUR JOB
IS SIMPLE.
REPEAL ANYTHING THAT HAPPENED
UNDER DEBLASIO.
PUSH BACK AGAINST ANYTHING.
YOUR APPROVAL RATING WILL GO
THROUGH THE ROOF. INSTEAD HE
HAS BEEN DEBLASIO LITE RIGHT
NOW.
>> Bill: A WELL-KNOWN REPORTER
ON THE SIDE OF NFL GAMES WITH
NBC IS LEAVING A GREAT JOB A
LOT OF PEOPLE COVET.
SHE WILL GO INTO POLITICS AND
HELP RUN A CAMPAIGN FOR
GOVERNOR OF MINNESOTA.
SHE TOLD TUCKER ABOUT THAT.
>> MY VIEW, MY MIDDLE GROUND
KIND OF MODERATE VIEWPOINT IS
NOT BEING REPRESENTED TO THE
REST OF THE WORLD.
RATHER THAN, YOU KNOW, JUST
BANGING IT OUT ON TWITTER ON
INSTAGRAM EVERY DAY I THOUGHT I
BETTER DO SOMETHING.
I FEEL LIKE FOR THE SAKE OF MY
KIDS AND BECAUSE I SO LOVE THIS
COUNTRY, I HAVE TO START GIVING
BACK.
>> Bill: I LOVE THE LINE
INSTEAD OF JUST BANGING IT OUT
ON TWITTER AND INSTAGRAM.
>> THERE IS GOOD NEWS AND BAD
NEWS, MICHELLE.
THERE IS A LOT OF BANGING IT
OUT ON INSTAGRAM AND TWITTER IN
THIS JOB.
9 TIMES OUT OF 10 IF YOU WANT
DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT --
MICHELLE IS RIGHT.
NEVER A BIGGER GAP BETWEEN WHAT
PEOPLE BELIEVE AND WILLING TO
SAY IN PUBLIC.
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SO
FRUSTRATED.
I DON’T THINK IT’S AS RISKY AS
WE THINK ONLY BECAUSE THERE IS
THIS REAL SILENT MAJORITY THAT
IS GETTING EMBOLDENED NOW AND
SHOWING UP TO SCHOOL BOARD
MEETINGS THAT REALIZES THAT
HELPLESS FEELING WE HAD IN THE
SUMMER OF 2020 IS NOT
INEVITABLE.
MICHELLE IS MAKING A GOOD MOVE
HERE ALTHOUGH IF I WAS HER
STICK TO THAT THING ABOUT
TWITTER AND INSTAGRAM.
>> Dana: SHE IS A COVID MOM,
RIGHT?
SHE IS SAYING I’M WILLING TO
PUT MY MONEY WHERE MY MOUTH IS
AND ALSO INTERESTING TO ME TO
SEE A WOMAN RISE TO THAT LEVEL
IN HER CAREER AND DECIDE TO
MAKE A CHANGE AND REINVENT
HERSELF AND GET INVOLVED IN
POLITICS.
IMPRESSIVE.
>> THAT’S GENUINE.
IT WAS CRUEL OF YOUR STAFF TO
BRING UP ANOTHER PERSON WHO
WORKED AT THE SUPER BOWL.
THEY DO IT OVER AND OVER AND
