About the episode

Today on The Press Box, Joel takes over the Tuesday slot. Bryan and Joel start the show by discussing Pat McAfee’s reported extension with ESPN (01:11) before talking about Trump’s attendance at Game 3 of the NBA Finals (14:52). After that, the guys dive into the Scott Pelley–60 Minutes situation, including Pelley’s interview with The New York Times (26:02) and what Bryan would have asked Scott if he had interviewed him (40:28).

The show ends with an interview with MS NOW’s Michael Steele (54:35), where he and the guys talk about the 2024 DNC autopsy (59:04), why he hasn’t become a Democrat, why he almost became a priest (1:26:10), and so much more.

Michael Steele is the coanchor of The Weeknight, airing weekdays at 7 p.m. ET on MS NOW. Beginning Monday, June 15, Steele and his coanchor Symone Sanders Townsend will welcome Luke Russert as the newest coanchor at the roundtable.
