TYT's Day Without A Woman

IT IS INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY, A DAY WITHOUT WOMEN.
THAT
IS WHY WE ARE WEARING THESE RED TYT SHIRTS.
THEY ARE AT THE
PROTEST AND ARE COVERING IT
TODAY.
CHECK OUT THE YOUNG TURKS FOR ALL THE LIVE COVERAGE.
THEY
ARE NOT HERE DOING THEIR REGULAR
JOBS.
WE ARE HURT, DON'T ASK US IF WE ARE ALL RIGHT.
IRENE IS
OUR EXECUTIVE PRODUCER AND SHE
FORBID ME FROM GOING THROUGH ALL THE WOMEN THAT WORK HERE AND
PUTTING UP THEIR PICTURES AND
NAMES BECAUSE IT WILL LOOK LIKE AN IN MEMORIAM.
AND THEY ARE NOT DEAD.
THEY ARE JUST NOT HERE FOR ONE DAY.
OUR EXECUTIVE PRODUCER ñ
ALL OF THE MAIN SHOW PRODUCERS BASICALLY.
AND ARTHUR.
TODAY ME AND JOHN AND JAYAR JACKSON ARE LIKE HOW ARE WE
GOING TO PUT THIS SHOW TOGETHER?
ROOFER IS NOT HERE, SHE PUTS THE
SHOW TOGETHER DAY TO DAY.
WE ALREADY HAVE PICTURES.
OBVIOUSLY
KASPER AND A LOT OF OUR HOSTS ARE OUT THERE.
PRODUCERS ALSO,
EDITORS.
THAT IS JUST THE L.A. CREW.
OUR CHIEF MARKETING
OFFICER IS IN DC AND SHE IS DOING
THE DC PROTEST.
I AM NOT
SUPPOSED TO SAY ALL THE NAMES.
I HAVE THREE MOMENTS TODAY WHERE I
WAS LIKE I HAVE TO SCHEDULE A REALLY IMPORTANT BUSINESS
MEETING, I WOULD NORMALLY CALL OUR CHIEF OF STAFF.
AND I
REMEMBERED I CAN'T CALL HER
TODAY.
I HAVE TO TALK TO IRENA ABOUT THE SHOW, CAN'T CALL HER.
THIS IS THE PRODUCTION MEETING SUCH AS IT IS WITH ALL THE EMPTY
SEATS.
AND THEN WE GOOF AROUND.
WE GOT FAR LESS DONE THAN WE NORMALLY DO.
LOOK HOW EMPTY IT IS.
IT TURNS OUT WE EMPLOY A LOT OF WOMEN.
THERE IS A LOT OF
EMPTY SEATS.
YOU GET THE POINT.
THERE ARE MANY DAY-TO-DAY THINGS
THAT ARE CARRIED BY WOMEN.
I DID WANT TO DO ONE OTHER THING FOR
INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY, HONOR
WOMEN IN OUR LIVES.
MY WIFE HAS BEEN A ROCK FOR ME, YADA YADA.
I'M TALKING ABOUT IN THE CONTEXT OF WORK.
THE HALF IS MY MOM, SHE
STARTED HER OWN BUSINESS BEFORE
I DID.
IT WAS IN HOME TEXTILES.
NO COLLEGE DEGREE BECAUSE SHE
DIDN'T HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO
THAT WHEN SHE WAS GROWING UP.
BUT SHE STARTED A BUSINESS
ANYWAY AND MADE THE BEST OUT OF IT.
IN THE CONTEXT OF MY CAREER,
WHICH IS MOST IMPORTANT HERE, I JUST WANT TO GIVE A QUICK SHOUT
OUT TO MJ WITT WHO WAS MY FIRST
BOSS AND TELEVISION.
ANYBODY WHO WORKS WITH MJ KNOWS SHE IS
TOUGH.
BUT SHE IS INCREDIBLY LOYAL AND TAUGHT ME THAT AS A
MANAGER AND BOSS YOU SHOULD EXPECT THE BEST FROM THE PEOPLE
WHO WORK FOR YOU AND AT THE SAME TIME YOU HAVE TO DELIVER THE
BEST FOR THEM AND MAKE SURE THAT IN EVERY WAY YOU LOOK OUT FOR
THEM, TAKE CARE OF THEM, AND NOT JUST IN THAT JOB BUT THROUGHOUT
YOUR ENTIRE CAREER.
MJ HAS BEEN THERE FOR US AND ALL THE PEOPLE
THAT HAVE WORKED AT THAT STATION IN MIAMI.
SHE SET A GREAT
EXAMPLE FOR ME AND I LEARNED
FROM HER STRENGTHS AND WISDOM.
MY MOM IS GREAT TOO.
I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT.
IS THIS
CLICH…?
I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A LOT OF REALLY CLOSE FEMALE FRIENDS.
I REALLY DO FEEL LIKE I LEARNED MORE FROM THEM.
THEY HAVE BEEN A
GREAT INFLUENCE.
IF WE ARE TALKING ABOUT WORK, IF I THINK
BACK OVER WHAT I WAS DOING BEFORE, IN UNDERGRAD AND GRAD
SCHOOL, SOME OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL PROFESSORS I HAD
WERE WOMEN.
THEY DIDN'T JUST GET ME INTERESTED IN POLITICS, THEY
TAUGHT ME HOW TO THINK ABOUT
POLITICS THE TOOLS AND THE ANALYTICAL TOOLS NECESSARY TO
THINK ABOUT POLITICS AND TO TRY TO CONTRIBUTE SOMETHING.
I WOULD NOT HAVE THAT IF IT WASN'T FOR THOSE PROFESSORS.
YOU ARE FORCING ME TO SAY ONE LAST QUICK SHOUT OUT TO MRS.
ROSENBERG.
SHE WAS MY FOURTH GRADE READING TEACHER AND I HAD
JUST LEARNED ENGLISH.
I WAS IN
THE LOWEST REMEDIAL READING CLASS AND SHE MOVED ME UP FROM
THAT CLASS TO THE VERY TOP BY THE END OF FOURTH GRADE.
SHE
SAID SHE BELIEVED IN ME AND SAID THAT I WAS GOING TO BE REALLY
GOOD AT READING AND TALKING.
THANK YOU MRS.
ROSENBERG, I
APPRECIATE IT.
