Nick Bilton walked into the 60 Minutes newsroom four days after Bari Weiss fired the people who built the show. He tried to pretend he didn't know about the firings. Scott Pelley, in front of the remaining staff, would not let that stand.
"She loves 60 Minutes," Bilton said. "She's murdering 60 Minutes," Pelley said back. "She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it - and she's doing exactly that."
One of Weiss's lieutenants kept interrupting to say Pelley was being rude. Pelley kept going.
JVL's framing is the right one. The corrupter depends on the existing institution being too polite to say the obvious thing out loud. Christopher Wray resigned quietly to "preserve the integrity of the FBI." John Kelly gave print interviews after he left. Thom Tillis, John Cornyn, Mitch McConnell, Jim Mattis, Bill Barr - all of them saw it. All of them objected privately. None of them said it in the room where it was happening, to the person doing it, while the cameras were still running.
Pelley said it in the room. To the person's face. In front of witnesses. While he still worked there.
That is a different thing entirely. Not a memoir. Not an anonymous source in a tell-all. Not a carefully worded statement issued after the resignation letter was already filed. The true thing, said out loud, to the people who needed to hear it, at the moment it could still matter.
Authoritarianism counts on politesse. It counts on people deciding the fight isn't worth the awkwardness, the career risk, the label of being difficult. Scott Pelley decided it was worth it. The republic needs more of that calculation to come out the same way.
There are certain songs that seem to belong to everybody the moment they begin.
“Shakedown Street” has always felt that way to me.
We’re excited to share our version - recorded in Asheville alongside an incredible group of musicians and the Asheville Symphony Orchestra. Somewhere between the groove, the improvisation, and the energy in the room, the song took on a personality of its own.
“Shakedown Street” is out this Thursday, June 4.
Laur Joamets has been one of my favorite guitarists of recent years. Check out my Premier Guitar feature on him and his amazing story. From Estonia to the top of Nashville with Sturgill Simpson/ Johnny Blue Skies.

The Highwomen just dropped a surprise live album, and this official live video for “Redesigning Women” from The Gorge 2023. So cool to see my friend and Friends Of The Brothers founding keyboardist Peter Levin back there on B3. https://t.co/znIm9fLXC6
