JANET: NINE BOSTON POLICE
OFFICERS WERE INDICTED IN AN
OVERTIME SCANDAL.
IS THIS GOING TO BE A MAJOR
FACTOR OR JUST A BLIP ON THE
SCREEN?
MARIANNE, START WITH YOU.
>> THE STATE POLICE DEPARTMENT
-- YOU HAD THE SAME ALLEGATIONS.
IT HAS BEEN NOTHING, BASICALLY.
I DON’T EXPECT THIS TO BE MUCH
OF ANYTHING.
>> THE AMAZING THING IS THAT
THEY DID THIS WHILE THE STATE
POLICE OVERTIME SCANDAL
PROSECUTIONS WERE ALREADY
PUBLIC.
CREDIT HOUR U.S. ATTORNEY WITH
GOING AFTER POLICE CORRUPTION.
DEFUNDING POLICE IS NOT GOING TO
HAPPEN IN THE STATE AND THIS IS
NOT GOING TO IMPACT IT.
ED: IN OUR PANDEMIC WORLD,
SPORTS HAS ACTUALLY BEEN PRETTY
GOOD.
THE BUBBLE IN THE NBA AND THE
BUBBLE IN HOCKEY HAS BEEN
SUCCESSFUL, EXCEPT FOR A FEW
MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL HAS BEEN
SUCCESSFUL.
ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?
>> AND THE WNBA.
I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE TAMPA BAY.
THIS IS THE BIG TEST.
WE WILL SEE.
>> HAVE YOU ADJUSTED, ROB, TO
THE FACT THAT THERE WILL BE NO
FANS IN NEW ENGLAND AND MANY
STADIUMS FOR A WHILE?
>> WE ARE ALL SUSPENDING
DISBELIEF AND BELIEVING EITHER
THE FAKE CROWD NOISE.
I THINK AMERICA IS READY.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE RATINGS OF
THE NBA AND MLB, AMERICA CLEARLY
WANTS SOME FOOTBALL.
ED THE PATRIOTS START A WEEK
FROM TODAY.
IN FOXBORO.
JANET: THE PANDEMIC IS NOT OVER,
BUT BEST OR WORST WEEK?
MARIANNE, LET’S START WITH YOU.
>> WORST WEEK.
ARRIVAL OF TRUMP POLITICS IN
MASSACHUSETTS.
MARKEY SUPPORTERS, TO CHARLIE
BAKER CALLING OUT THE NATIONAL
GUARD FRIDAY NIGHT IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE NIGHT.
AND MAKING SOLDIERS AND TANKS
AND AK-47S STRAPPED ACROSS THEIR
CHEST IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS
NORMAL.
OUR DEMOCRACY AND POLITICS HAVE
TAKEN A BIG HIT.
>> WORSE.
NANCY PELOSI GOES TO A SALON IN
CALIFORNIA ILLEGALLY.
SHE IS A LAWMAKER, SO SHE IS
SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW THE LAW.
THEN SHE REFUSES RESPONSIBILITY
AND SAYS, I WAS SET UP.
TRUMP-LIKE CREDIBILITY WEEK FOR
HER.
JANET: MARIANNE, I’M GOING TO
GIVE YOU FIVE SECONDS TO RESPOND
TO THAT.
>> SHE’S GOT AMAZING HERE.
[LAUGHTER]
JANET: GOOD RESPONSE.
ED: A BEAUTIFUL WAY OF SUMMING
IT UP.
THANK YOU VERY MUC
