>> James: WELCOME BACK, OUR FIRST GUEST IS AN EMMY
AWARD-WINNING BROADCASTER, COANCHOR OF CBS THIS MORNING AND
HOST OF THE SIRIUS/XM SHOW GAYLE KING IN THE HOUSE, WE LOVE HER
HERE AT THE "LATE, LATE SHOW."
THE ONE, THE ONLY GAYLE KING JOINS US THIS EVENING.
HELLO, GAYLE, HOW ARE YOU.
>> HI, JAMES.
>> James: IT IS SO NICE TO SEE YOU.
>> I'M SO GLAD TO BE HERE.
I'M SO GLAD TO BE LEER WITH YOU SWRZ IT IS LOVELY, NOW YOU LIKE
ME, YOU'VE BEEN DOING YOUR SHOW IN YOUR APARTMENT.
I'M DOING MY SHOW IN MY GARAGE.
ARE YOU ITCHING TO GET BACK TO THE STUDIO?
HAS ANYONE TOLD YOU WHEN THAT MIGHT BE?
>> NO, I'M STILL WAITING AND I-- LISTEN, TO BE HONEST WITH
YOU, I THOUGHT THAT WE WOULD BE HERE A MONTH MAYBE, MAYBE SIX
WEEKS AT THE MONTH EIGHT WEEKS.
SO I'M HERE.
I FEEL, I DON'T WANT TO SAY TRAPPED LUKE A RAT BUT I FEEL
TRAPPED LUKE A RAT WITH ME, MYSELF AND I.
THE OTHER DAY I SAID HEY, GAYLE, HOW ARE YOU DOING?
OH, GOOD.
I'M SICK OF ME-- JAMES, I EVEN MISS THE PEOPLE I DON'T LIKE,
THAT TELLS YOU SOMETHING.
>> James: I CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK TO, WITHOUT.
I WAVE AT THE BIRDS, HI BIRDSK GAYLE, I WILL BE HERE TOMORROW.
BUT LISTEN, I WILL SAY THIS, I'M HOPING WE HAVE A JOB I REALLY
LOVE, I HAVE A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE, SO I AM NOT GOING TO SIT
HERE AND HAVE AN OH WOE IS ME PARTY, BUT I DO MISS IT.
>> James: NOW LAST NIGHT YOU HOSTED THE MOST BRILLIANT
SPECIAL WHICH WAS KIND OF PULLED TOGETHER BY THE ENTIRE CBS NEWS
TEAM, A SPECIAL CALLED JUSTICE FOR ALL.
WHICH IF YOU MISSED IT FOR ALL WAS AVAILABLE ON CBS ALL ACCESS.
AND I THOUGHT THE SHOW WAS FANTASTIC.
IN A WORLD OF INCREDIBLY SAD NEWS, I FOUND THE SHOW
INFORMATIVE AND RESPECTFUL, ALSO.
WHAT WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF MAKING THE SHOW LAST NIGHT?
>> WELL, THE THING THAT GOT TO ME IS WE STARTED WORKING ON THAT
FOUR, MAYBE FIVE DAYS AGO.
IT WAS REALLY ALL HANDS ON DECK WITH "60 MINUTES," CBS THIS
MORNING, CBS EVENING NEWS, EVERYBODY, 48 HOURS.
SO HE WITH WANTED TO DO A HISTORICAL PIECE BUT WE WANTED
TO LET YOU NO HE WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW AND SEE-- THAT IS
WHAT I THOUGHT WAS SO AMAZING.
AND THAT WE TOLD THE STORIES THAT ALL SORT OF HUNG TOGETHER.
I THINK WHAT IS MOST AMAZING TO ME IS THAT PEOPLE ARE TALKING.
PEOPLE ARE HUNGRY, PEOPLE WANT THIS INFORMATION.
THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF PAIN AND A LOT OF SADNESS.
YOU LOOK AT THE HISTORY AND YOU SEE WHY PEOPLE ARE PROTESTING,
MARCHING IN THE STREETS.
YOU SEE WHY THEY ARE SO ANGRY, FRUSTRATED AND SAD.
SO THAT TO ME WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.
THAT YOU HAVE PEOPLE MARCHING SHOULDER TO SHOULDER, BLACK AND
WHITE IN HUGE NUMBERS THAT SAY ENOUGH, ENOUGH, ENOUGH.
>> HAVE BEEN BROADCASTING FOR A LONG TIME, I ALWAYS THINK YOU
HAVE AN INCREDIBLE PERSPECTIVE ON HOW THE COUNTRY IS REALLY
FEELING AT CERTAIN TIMES, YOU KNOW, IN AMONGST THE BUBBLES
THAT SO MANY OF US CAN LIVE IN.
DO YOU FEEL LIKE WE COULD BE IN A MOMENT OF ACTUAL CHANGE?
>> YOU KNOW JAMES, THAT IS THE $64,000 QUESTION.
BUT EVERYBODY I KNOW FROM CONGRESSMAN JOHN LEWIS WHO WAS
THERE, IN THE VERY BEGINNING IN pTHE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT TO
BARACK OBAMA WHO SAYS HE FEELS HOPEFUL FOR THE FIRST TIME, THIS
FEELS DIFFERENT AND WHY?
BECAUSE WE SAW THIS MAN, GEORGE FLOYD BEING MURDERED, REALLY
RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES BY A POLICE OFFICER WHO WAS SO
CAVALIER AND SO CALLOUS, WHAT IS DIFFERENT IS THAT THEY KNOW
GEORGE FLOYD'S NAME IN LONDON, IN GERMANY, IN PARIS.
THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE.
AND YOU HAVE TEENAGE WHITE CHILDREN THAT ARE SAYING TO
THEIR PARENTS, HEY, THIS IS NOT OKAY.
THIS IS NOT ALL RIGHT.
AND I THINK, SO IT IS STARTING A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THE R
WORD WHICH STANDS FOR RACE.
IT MAKES SO MANY PEOPLE UNCOMFORTABLE BUT YOU KNOW,
WE'VE GOT TO LEAN INTO BEING UNCOMFORTABLE.
LEAN INTO THE DISCOMFORT BECAUSE NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE AND
THE POLICIES HAVE GOT TO CHANGE.
>> THE MORE I THINK ABOUT IT, AS WE'VE ALL BEEN THINKING ABOUT
IT, SO MUCH AND TALKING ABOUT IT, AND TALKING WITH FRIENDS OF
MINE LIKE I SPOKE WITH A FRIEND OF MINE THE OTHER DAY WHO SAID
YOU KNOW, HE LEAVES IN LONDON.
POLICING IS DIFFERENT BUT THERE ARE STRANDS THAT ARE THE SAME.
AND HE SAID WHICH MANY MANY BLACK PARENTS DO, YOU THINK
AROUND 11, 12, 13, 14, THEY HAVE A TALK WITH THEIR CHILDREN ABOUT
WHAT TO DO IN THIS INSTANT-- INSTANCE.
AND THE THING HE SAID THAT HE COULDN'T SHAKE WAS THAT WATCHING
THE VIDEO OF GEORGE FLOYD WAS THAT HE WASN'T, WHAT HE ALWAYS
SAID TO HIS SON, DON'T RESIST ARREST.
YOU JUST-- AND HERE WAS A MAN NOT RESISTING ARREST, AND STILL,
STILL, YOU KNOW, HIS LIFE BEING ENDED IN SUCH A BRUTAL WAY.
I MEAN HOW DID YOU, WHEN YOU ARE BROADCASTING THE NEWS EVERY DAY
LIVE, HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR COMPOSE SURE IN ALL OF THIS.
>> WELL, THIS IS THE THING, JAMES, I DON'T ALWAYS KEEP MY
COMPOSE SURE BECAUSE I SAY LISTEN, CBS JUST THE FACTS,
NOTHING BUT THE FACT, YOU DON'T COME TO HEAR MY OPINION, I GET
IT.
SO I'M VERY COGNIZANT OF THAT.
BUT THERE ARE SOME DAYS BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT A ROB THE, THAT IT
JUST HITS YOU.
AND THAT VIDEO OF GEORGE FLOYD FOLLOWED BY, WE HAD JUST SEEN
THE CENTRAL PARK BIRD GUY WHO WAS A BLACK GUY LOOKING AT BIRDS
IN CENTRAL PARK.
AND A WHITE WOMAN WEAPONNIZED HER WHITENESS TO SAY THERE IS A
BLACK MAN THREATENING ME, AND WE CAN SEE THAT IS NOT WHAT IS
HAPPENING.
I INTERVIEWED HIM, THE BIRD MAN, CHRISTOPHER COOPER, SISTER IS NO
JOKE, SHE PUT UP THE VIDEO.
>> James: THAT IS HOW I SAW IT.
>> YEAH, SHE IS THE ONE THAT DID THAT, HAS OVER 40 PLUS MILLION
VIEWS.
SHE SAID IF THINGS HAD GONE DIFFERENTLY, THE WHITE
POLICE-- IF A POLICE OFFICER HAD ARRIVED AND HE HAS A CHOICE
BETWEEN A HYSTERICAL WHITE WOMAN AND HER BROTHER, WHEN YOU LOOK
AT HISTORY, HER BROTHER IS IN THE ONE DOWN POSITION, SO SHE
SAID I LOOKED AT THAT AND I THOUGHT MY BROTHER COULD HAVE
BEEN A GEORGE FLOYD.
AND THERE IS WHAT IS SO UPSETTING.
I HAVE A SON THAT IS 33, LIVES IN L.A
I THINK YOU COULD BE WALKING YOUR DOG AS HE OFTEN DOES AND
THINGS CAN GO LEFT SO QUICKLY.
AND IT COULD ESCALATE SO QUICKLY.
SO I'M A NERVOUS RECOGNIZE.
I SAY DOND WEAR YOUR BLACK BANDANAS, WEAR THE PINK AND
YELLOW AND GREEN ONE T LOOKS FRIEND LEE ARE.
AND THIS WHOLE THING IS WHY SHOULD THAT MATTER, OH, BUT WELL
IT DOES, IT DOES MATTER.
AND SO, THE OTHER GUY, DID YOU SEE CHRIS COOPER WHEN HE TOOK
OFF HIS GLASSES.
HE SAID AS A BLACK MAN, YOU KNOW, IF I HAVE ON THESE NERDY
GLASSES PEOPLE THINK I'M SAFER.
I MEAN IT'S CRAZY.
IT'S CRAZY.
nd AND I THINK PEOPLE HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THAT.
BUT YOU SEE BLACK PEOPLE NAVIGATING WALKING THAT LINE ALL
OF THE TIME.
AND SO WHEN YOU SAY HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR COMPOSE SURE ON THAT
PARTICULAR DAY, I REALLY COULDN'T.
BECAUSE WE HAD GEORGE FLOYD WHO AT THE TIME, WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW
HIS NAME, HE IS THE BLACK MAN UNDERNEATH THE CAR, ACCORDING TO
HER EYES BY A WHITE POLICE OFFICER WHO DIDN'T SEEM TO GIVE
A CRAP.
YOU HAD THE CENTRAL PARK BIFERRED PERSON, AND THE WEEK
BEFORE YOU HAD AHMAUD ARBERY, IT WAS THE SERIES OF THAT, AND IT
REALLY GOT YOU TO SAY WHAT IS HAPPENING TO US IN THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA.
THIS IS NOT NEW, RACISM ISN'T NEW, WHAT IS NEW, IS ST ON
VIDEOTAPED.
AND THANK YOU JESUS, JESUS, FOR THE VIDEO TAPE, THANK YOU FOR
THAT.
>> James: YOU SEEM WELL-KNOWN FOR A LONG TIME, BUT IN YOUR
LIFE DID YOU EVER FEEL RACIALLY PROFILED?
>> WELL, I MEAN LISTEN, I HAVE BEEN PROFILED, CERTAINLY YOU GO
TO THE STORE, A NICE SHE SHE STORE AND I FEEL I'M DRESSED
OKAY AND YOU CAN TELL THAT PEOPLE ARE FOLLOWING ME.
I HAVE HAD TO TURN AROUND AND SAY YOU KNOW, CAN I HELP YOU.
THIS WAS BACK IN THE DAY, BEFORE I WAS QUOTE A NAME, BEFORE
PEOPLE KNEW MY FACE.
BUT I HAVE GONE TO CVS AROUND HERE, 2 OR 3:00 IN THE MORNING
AND I KIND OF SCARED MYSELF TOO.
I WAS GOING IN THERE TO GET SOME KIND OF MEDICATION.
I'M ALL BUNDLED UP, YOU KNOW, HOODIE, GLASSES, BIG BOOTS.
>> AND I KNEW THAT THE GUY WAS LIKE WHO IS THIS.
AND YOU KNOW SO I COULD TELL THAT THEY WERE INSTANTLY TENSED
UP.
THEY WERE INSTANTLY PUT ON GUARD.
AND SO WE HAVE TO GET TO THE POINT AND HAVE THE HONEST
CONVERSATION, ABOUT WHAT IS IT THAT IS SO FRIGHTENING ABOUT
BLACK PEOPLE TO WHITE PEOPLE.
AND NOBODY WANTS TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION.
I WANT TO HAVE A REAL CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT.
BECAUSE HERE THE CENTRAL PARK BIRD WATCHER WENT TO HARVARD,
SHOULDN'T MATTER BUT HE DIDDER AND THIS WOMAN WUL-OF-ALL OF A
SUDDEN PLAYS THE RACE CARD, OH, SHE WENT THERE, SHE WENT THERE.
THIS IS WHAT ENCOURAGES ME, THAT PEOPLE AT LEAST WANT TO TALK
ABOUT IT.
DO YOU KNOW IN THE TOP SELLING BOOK, A PUBLISHER TOLD ME THIS
THE OTHER DAY, MOST OF THE BOOKS ARE ABOUT RACE AND THE
CONVERSATIONS, PEOPLE ARE LOOKING AT AVA DUVERNA SELMA,
AND 13, HAVE I ALL MY WHITE FRIENDS SAYING WHAT SHOULD I DO.
I WANT TO BE A HELP.
HOW CAN I BE BETTER.
OKAY, HERE SAY LIST.
HERE IS THE LIST, WHITE PEOPLE, HERE IT IS.
BUT PEOPLE ARE HUNGRY FOR THE KNOWLEDGE.
AND I AM VERY ENCOURAGED BY THAT.
>> James: THAT IS, I THINK, THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE, THAT
THERE IS AN OBSESSION, I SEE IT IN ME, MY WIFE, MY WHITE
FRIENDS, LIKE THE CONVERSATIONS I'M HAVING WITH MY SON MAX, HE'S
NINE, BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO HIM ABOUT WHAT IS
HAPPENING IN THE NEWS AND IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW.
AND THOSE ARE, THOSE ARE CONVERSATIONS THAT I THINK, I
DON'T KNOW IF MY PARENTS WOULD HAVE HAD THEM WITH ME.
I MEAN WE GREW UP IN THE MOST LOVING AND ACCEPTING HOUSEHOLD
OF EVERYBODY.
BUT I DON'T KNOW IF MY PARENTS WOULD HAVE EVER GONE LISTEN, I
NEED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT, THIS HISTORICALLY.
>> JAMES, I WILL BET YOU WILL NEVER HAVE TO HAVE THE
CONVERSATION WITH MAX ABOUT LISTEN, IF YOU ARE STOPPED BY A
POLICE, DON'T MAKE ANY SUDDEN MOVES.
MAKE SURE THEY CAN SEE YOUR HANDS.
YOU KNOW, WE LIVED IN AN ALL WHITE NEIGHBORHOOD.
I SAID YOU WILL NOT GOING TO BE GIVEN THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT
LIKE PAT RUCH AND KYLE.
PEOPLE WILL LOOK AT YOU AND SEE SMENT BEFORE THEY SEE OH, HE IS
A NICE KID, HE DOES THIS.
LOOK AT HIS BRACES, HE'S REALLY LOVELY, THEY DON'T LOOK AT THAT.
ARE YOU NOT GIVEN THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT SO DON'T MAKE ANY
SUDDEN MOVES.
ANYTHING HAPPENS, WE WILL FIGURE IT OUT LATER.
NOW WHAT IS SO FRIGHTENING IS EVEN WHEN YOU DO THE RIGHT
THING, BREONNA TAYLOR WAS SHOT IN HER OWN HOME.
>> James: YEAH.
>> SHE WAS SHOT IN HER OWN HOME.
SO WHEN YOU SAY THAT EVEN IN YOUR OWN HOUSE YOU ARE TALKING
ABOUT ACCEPTANCE, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN IN TERMS OF THE
CONVERSATIONS YOU ARE HAVING.
I'M CURIOUS.
>> James: WELL, IN OUR HOUSE, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE BLACK FRIENDS,
BROWN FRIENDS, SO IT IS NEVER REALLY BEEN A CONVERSATION.
>> I KNOW, JAMES, YOU DON'T JUST HAVE ONE BLACK FRIEND, YOU WOULD
BE SURPRISED HOW MANY WHITE PEOPLE ONLY HAVE ONE BLACK
FRIEND.
YOU DO NOT HAVE JUST ONE BLACK FRIEND.
SO I GET IT.
>> James: BUT MORE THAN THAT, I THINK THE CONVERSATION THAT IS
YOU NEED TO HAVE IN OUR HOUSE IS ABOUT THE HISTORICAL NATURE OF
IT.
THE SYSTEMIC HOW DEEP IT RUNS.
AND ALSO, AND THE BIGGEST THING I THINK IS THAT, THE BIGGEST
THING I'M FINDING IS THAT OUR, IT IS THAT IT'S NOT-- I ALWAYS
THOUGHT IT WAS ENOUGH.
TO NOT BE RACIST.
I AM NOT RACIST, SO THEREFORE I'M DOING MY PART.
BUT IN TRUTH, THAT IS, WHICH IS WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT JUST LAST
MONDAY ON THE SHOW.
THAT REALLY ISN'T ENOUGH.
BECAUSE I THINK, I THINK THE-- THE BIGGEST CHANGES IS
THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME I CAN SEE, AND I'VE ONLY LIVED HERE
FIVE YEARS, IS THAT WHITE PEOPLE ARE SAYING THIS IS ACTUALLY OUR
PROBLEM TO SOLVE.
AND THIS IS SOMETHING-- YOU KNOW.
>> PLEASE PASS THE WORD BECAUSE THAT IS A DING DING DING DING
DING.
THAT'S ABSOLUTELY TRUE.
YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU HEAR IT, YOU KNOW, YOU GOT TO CALL IT OUT.
YOU'VE GOT TO CALL IT OUT.
SO PEOPLE SAY WELL, I DON'T WANT TO UPSET THE CART.
I DON'T WANT TO HURT ANYBODY'S FEELINGS.
I HAD SOME EXPERTS SAY SO YOU WOULD RATHER ALLOW THIS RACIST
BEHAVIOR TO CONTINUE RATHER THAN CALLING IT OUT.
>> IT IS UNCOMFORTABLE FOR A MOMENT OR IT COULD BE
UNCOMFORTABLE FOREVER.
YOU KNOW, AND THAT IS SORT OF WHERE I AM AT.
>> I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT DOING THE NEWS EVERY DAY.
IN AN ERA OF FAKE NEWS.
AT A MOMENT WHERE, I DON'T-- FAKE NEWS WASN'T
SOMETHING THAT ANY OF US EVEN-- IT WASN'T EVEN A SAYING
ANY OF US REALLY USED SIX YEARS AGO.
AND NOW WE ARE IN THIS ERA OF FAKE NEWS, WHERE THE PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES, YOU WILL FIND HIM ON HIS TWITTER FEED
PEDDLING STORIES WHICH AREN'T TRUE, SAYING THINGS WHICH ALMOST
CERTAINLY DON'T SEEM TO BE TRUE.
HOW DO YOU AS A NEWS ANCHOR AND A NEWS ORGANIZATION, HOW DO YOU
COMBAT THAT WHEN ARE YOU DISGUISING WHAT TO REPORT OR
WHATNOT TO REPORT.
>> WELL, I THINK OUR PRESIDENT OFTEN LIVES WITH THE TRUTH BUT
THIS IS THE THING AT CBS, WHAT WE PRIDE OURSELVES ON IS GIVING
YOU THE NEWS AND LETTING YOU MAKE YOUR OWN DECISIONS, THAT
SAID YOU HAVE TO DO YOUR OWN DUE DILL AGAINST.
IF YOU RELY ON NETWORKS FROM ONE EXTREME TO THE OTHER, AND THAT'S
ALL YOU LISTEN TO, YOU WILL HAVE A VERY SKEWED VIEW OF WHAT IS
HAPPENING IN THE WORLD.
SO I ALSO DON'T THINK YOU CAN RELY ON ONE NEWS SOURCE THESE
DAYS BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL SO DIFFERENT.
BUT YOU CAN FIND NETWORKS THAT YOU TRUST.
YOU CAN DO YOUR OWN DUE DILL AGAINST AND DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH
AND MAKE YOUR OWN OPINIONS.
I FIND MOST VIEWERS WHO ARE WATCHING OUR SHOW ARE SMART AND
REALLY VERY INFORMED.
SO WHEN I HEAR HIM SAY THANK YOU, I JUST SIT THERE AND GO OH,
IS HE NOT TALKING ABOUT US, I NEVER FEEL THAT.
WE DOUBLE, TRIPLE CHECK.
WE HAVE HAD TIMES WHERE WE ARE ON THE AIR AND I WILL SAY BUT SO
AND SO IS REPORTING THIS, SO AND SO, WELL, WE HAVEN'T CONFIRMED
IT OURSELVES.
WE HAVE TO DOUBLE, TRIPLE CHECK AND THAT HAS SAVED US BELIEVE IT
OR NOT ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION.
I AM OKAY WITH IT, WE WITH MUCH RATHER BE RIGHT AND SECOND THEN
FIRST AND WRONG.
AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE LIVE BY.
>> James: BUT WHEN YOU SEE THE WAY THAT THE PRESIDENT, I MEAN
PARTICULARLY WITH CBS JOURNALISTS, IT WAS WEIJIA
JIANG.
>> YES AND PAULA REED.
>> James: WHEN SHE TALKED ABOUT CHINA, WHEN IT IS COMING
BACK TO YOU IN THE STUDIO, HOW DO YOU NOT JUST, WHEN I KNOW, AS
I KNOW YOUR BLOOD WOULD BE BOILING.
>> IT WAS.
>> James: HOW DO YOU DO THAT AS AN ANCHOR, DO YOU JUST ALWAYS
REMAIN SO CALM AND COLLECTED?
>> IT WAS, JAMES, I BITE THE INSIDE OF MY LIP AND JUST
CONTINUE ON.
AND THAT HAS BEEN VERY DIFFICULT.
BECAUSE I THOUGHT WEIJIA AND BOTH PAULA WERE INSULTED.
BY THAT IS WHAT HE DOES, IF HE DOESN'T LIKE A QUESTION, THEN HE
BELITTLES, HE BERATES, HE TRIES TO DEVALUE WHATEVER THE REPORTER
IS SAYING.
AND THAT IS VERY DIFFICULT, AND YOU KNOW, IT IS NOT FOR ME
TO-- I HAVE TO STAND UP FOR WEIJIA OR STAND UP FOR PAUL
BLANCA WE ALWAYS TRY TO KEEP THE GAME FACE ON, KEEP IT
PROFESSIONAL AND LET THE AUDIENCE MAKE THEIR OWN
DECISION.
AND I THINK IN MOST CASES THEY CAN SEE.
BUT IT IS VERY DIFFICULT.
A COUPLE OF TIMES I WANTED TO SAY TO BOTH WEIJIA AND PAULA,
I'M SO SORRY THAT THAT HAPPENED TO YOU.
YOU DID NOT DESERVE TO BE TREATED THAT WAY.
>> YOU KNOW, IT'S FUNNY THAT YOU SHOULD-- A COUPLE OF TIMES IN MY
HEAD THEY WILL SAY GAYLE, CAREFUL, KAYFUL.
>> James: RIGHT.
>> GAYLE, CAREFUL.
I MEAN, SO I DO STRUGGLE WITH IT BECAUSE WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS.
>> James: SURE.
>> AND SO IT BOTHERS ME BUT AGAIN, THAT IS NOT MY JOB AND
SOMETIMES I HAVE TO BE REMINDED.
PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOUR OPINION.
YOU ARE HERE TO DELIVER THE NEWS.
BUT YOU'RE RIGHT, I DO STRUGGLE WITH IT, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY
RIGHT.
>> James: WELL, WE ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE YOU ON THE AIR,
THE WHOLE CBS NEWS TEAM.
>> THANK YOU.
>> James: DOING AN INCREDIBLE JOHN UNDER EXTREME
CIRCUMSTANCES.
WE LOVE YOU BEING HERE, MORE WITH GAYLE KING WHEN WE COME
BACK.
