1
00:00:04,795 --> 00:00:22,915
Speaker 1: Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. Donald

2
00:00:23,075 --> 00:00:28,915
Speaker 1: Trump is the greatest president of all time at losing

3
00:00:29,075 --> 00:00:34,675
Speaker 1: support in the polls as fast as humanly possible. He

4
00:00:34,795 --> 00:00:39,595
Speaker 1: has hemorrhaged approval. He has turned his honeymoon into a divorce,

5
00:00:40,115 --> 00:00:42,595
Speaker 1: and he is setting up a Democratic landslide next year

6
00:00:42,675 --> 00:00:46,715
Speaker 1: if only the Democrats would try. And the evidence went

7
00:00:46,835 --> 00:00:50,035
Speaker 1: by so fast, the real report card on the first

8
00:00:50,035 --> 00:00:52,675
Speaker 1: one hundred days, well one hundred and two days, It

9
00:00:52,755 --> 00:00:57,115
Speaker 1: went by so fast almost nobody noticed. Elliot Morris, the

10
00:00:57,235 --> 00:01:00,755
Speaker 1: last king of five thirty eight dot com, now in

11
00:01:00,875 --> 00:01:06,395
Speaker 1: charge of Strength in Numbers, calculated the chase in Trump's approval,

12
00:01:06,675 --> 00:01:11,155
Speaker 1: the depth of his sinking underwater since day one to

13
00:01:11,275 --> 00:01:14,715
Speaker 1: day one hundred, and it is the worst in American

14
00:01:14,835 --> 00:01:19,195
Speaker 1: polling history dating back to nineteen fifty three, worse even

15
00:01:19,235 --> 00:01:23,315
Speaker 1: than Trump's own first term. He was a net plus

16
00:01:23,435 --> 00:01:26,355
Speaker 1: nine at the time of his inauguration, and he is

17
00:01:26,435 --> 00:01:32,315
Speaker 1: at minus ten now plus nine to minus ten in

18
00:01:32,315 --> 00:01:35,955
Speaker 1: one hundred days. And the minus ten is itself a

19
00:01:35,995 --> 00:01:41,195
Speaker 1: presidential record. The move from positive territory to gurgle, gurgle,

20
00:01:41,275 --> 00:01:44,675
Speaker 1: You're drowning is a record. The dispelling of the notion

21
00:01:44,795 --> 00:01:48,075
Speaker 1: that he might be okay. This fast is a record.

22
00:01:48,315 --> 00:01:54,195
Speaker 1: He is the most worst president of all time. As

23
00:01:54,315 --> 00:01:59,275
Speaker 1: Morris notes, only Gerald Ford is even in Trump's league,

24
00:01:59,555 --> 00:02:03,195
Speaker 1: and even after Ford pardon Nixon and shed half his support,

25
00:02:03,515 --> 00:02:06,635
Speaker 1: Ford was still a net plus and a net plus

26
00:02:06,675 --> 00:02:09,595
Speaker 1: twenty four at one hundred days. Carter was a net

27
00:02:09,635 --> 00:02:12,795
Speaker 1: plus fifty five. George W. Bush was a net plus

28
00:02:12,835 --> 00:02:18,995
Speaker 1: twenty seven. Trump is a net minus ten. He is drowning.

29
00:02:19,515 --> 00:02:23,435
Speaker 1: He is losing an average of one approval point every

30
00:02:23,435 --> 00:02:27,075
Speaker 1: five days. At this rate, by early August, he would

31
00:02:27,115 --> 00:02:31,675
Speaker 1: be at net minus thirty. I mean, this is worse

32
00:02:31,715 --> 00:02:34,875
Speaker 1: than the economy. That's how bad these numbers are. Trump

33
00:02:34,955 --> 00:02:37,355
Speaker 1: only wasted seven percent of the value of the stock

34
00:02:37,395 --> 00:02:40,355
Speaker 1: market in the first hundred days, and gross domestic product

35
00:02:40,395 --> 00:02:42,475
Speaker 1: only shrank three tenths of a point when it was

36
00:02:42,475 --> 00:02:44,995
Speaker 1: supposed to continue the huge growth that had under Biden.

37
00:02:45,595 --> 00:02:49,515
Speaker 1: Trump went from net plus ten to net minus ten

38
00:02:49,875 --> 00:02:54,275
Speaker 1: in one hundred days. And that's just the start. The

39
00:02:54,355 --> 00:02:58,875
Speaker 1: Republican internal polling may be even worse than that, if

40
00:02:58,915 --> 00:03:03,075
Speaker 1: that is mathematically possible. This is from punch Bowl News.

41
00:03:03,315 --> 00:03:08,035
Speaker 1: Trump's approval rating is underwater, and our CC chair Richard

42
00:03:08,075 --> 00:03:12,515
Speaker 1: Hudson told House Republicans during a private meeting on Capitol Hill,

43
00:03:12,835 --> 00:03:18,035
Speaker 1: this is the Republican Congressional Committee to elect Republicans to Congress.

44
00:03:18,315 --> 00:03:22,635
Speaker 1: Their poll, conducted April to thirteenth to eighteenth in competitive

45
00:03:22,635 --> 00:03:26,475
Speaker 1: House seats, has forty six percent of respondents approving of

46
00:03:26,515 --> 00:03:30,675
Speaker 1: Trump's performance fifty three percent disapproving. This is roughly in

47
00:03:30,755 --> 00:03:35,435
Speaker 1: line with public polling data. Trump is seven points underwater

48
00:03:35,755 --> 00:03:39,235
Speaker 1: in vulnerable House seats, many of them now held by

49
00:03:39,435 --> 00:03:46,195
Speaker 1: Republican congress people. Aggressive democratic campaigning focused on freedom, democracy,

50
00:03:46,515 --> 00:03:51,715
Speaker 1: Trump's psychosis, Trump causing prices to rise, Trump threatening SS

51
00:03:51,715 --> 00:03:55,595
Speaker 1: and medicare, Trump trying to kill small businesses in favor

52
00:03:55,595 --> 00:03:59,915
Speaker 1: of monopolies and cartels. Trump abducting Americans, Trump running a

53
00:03:59,995 --> 00:04:05,115
Speaker 1: child trafficking gang, Trump threatening the constitution, Trump constantly denying reality,

54
00:04:05,315 --> 00:04:10,355
Speaker 1: Trump threatening judges, Trump threatening you, Trump causing your costs

55
00:04:10,395 --> 00:04:13,315
Speaker 1: to go through the roof. That could lead to a

56
00:04:13,355 --> 00:04:17,515
Speaker 1: democratic landslide next year. And you can run on every

57
00:04:17,675 --> 00:04:22,235
Speaker 1: kitchen table issue you want and against Trump and for

58
00:04:22,435 --> 00:04:29,915
Speaker 1: democracy in the same sentence. Happily, the Democrats are poised

59
00:04:29,915 --> 00:04:33,875
Speaker 1: to take advantage of this polling opportunity to who the

60
00:04:33,915 --> 00:04:39,155
Speaker 1: hell am I kidding? This is a simple fix. You

61
00:04:39,395 --> 00:04:43,955
Speaker 1: just have to not be Chuck Schumer anymore. Chuck Schumer,

62
00:04:44,795 --> 00:04:49,355
Speaker 1: who is somehow in charge, did say something yesterday at

63
00:04:49,395 --> 00:04:52,795
Speaker 1: a Senate hearing about how Trump quote doesn't deserve to

64
00:04:52,835 --> 00:04:56,755
Speaker 1: be president. Schumer says he is planning to maintain his

65
00:04:56,835 --> 00:05:03,595
Speaker 1: current strategy in the Senate, which is do nothing but

66
00:05:03,835 --> 00:05:09,475
Speaker 1: try to negotiate more bipartisan appropriations bills with Republicans when

67
00:05:09,555 --> 00:05:13,635
Speaker 1: Republican voters are headed for the lifeboats about Trump in

68
00:05:13,715 --> 00:05:20,995
Speaker 1: winnable congressional districts and winnable Senate seats, Schumer says he

69
00:05:21,035 --> 00:05:26,595
Speaker 1: thinks he can chip away at Trump's popularity. Trump's popularity

70
00:05:26,635 --> 00:05:30,155
Speaker 1: the one thing they can let Trump take care of himself.

71
00:05:33,915 --> 00:05:36,995
Speaker 1: But back to the good news, boy, is all of

72
00:05:37,035 --> 00:05:42,795
Speaker 1: these poll and stuffs pissing Trump off? The poles from

73
00:05:42,795 --> 00:05:45,835
Speaker 1: the fake news are like the news itself fake. We're

74
00:05:45,915 --> 00:05:50,475
Speaker 1: doing great, better than ever before. As they noted the

75
00:05:50,475 --> 00:05:53,115
Speaker 1: other day, Trump's rage is fueled in part because those

76
00:05:53,195 --> 00:05:55,875
Speaker 1: around him have learned to lie to him to keep

77
00:05:55,955 --> 00:06:00,355
Speaker 1: him controllable. They are telling him the polls are fake.

78
00:06:01,155 --> 00:06:06,195
Speaker 1: Did you see the televised Cabinet meeting yesterday, a series

79
00:06:06,235 --> 00:06:10,915
Speaker 1: of ever increasing lies about how wonderful and gorgeous he is.

80
00:06:13,315 --> 00:06:16,915
Speaker 1: And they told him this, and he raged before the

81
00:06:16,995 --> 00:06:20,435
Speaker 1: Fox News poll, which not only showed how far he

82
00:06:20,635 --> 00:06:25,195
Speaker 1: was underwater personally, but pointed out and measured how close

83
00:06:25,235 --> 00:06:31,235
Speaker 1: the individual sharks are to him. Border security, there he

84
00:06:31,395 --> 00:06:36,435
Speaker 1: is ahead. He's above water fifteen percent. Everything else not

85
00:06:36,595 --> 00:06:41,595
Speaker 1: so much. Underwater on immigration by a point, underwater, on

86
00:06:41,715 --> 00:06:47,555
Speaker 1: deportations by four points, underwater, on guns by three, underwater,

87
00:06:47,675 --> 00:06:51,915
Speaker 1: on foreign policy by fourteen, underwater on taxes by fifteen,

88
00:06:52,195 --> 00:06:57,315
Speaker 1: on the economy by sixteen, on tariffs by twenty. On

89
00:06:57,555 --> 00:07:03,155
Speaker 1: inflation thirty three percent approved, fifty nine percent disapprove one

90
00:07:03,235 --> 00:07:07,835
Speaker 1: hundred days in and Trump, who guaranteed to lower prices,

91
00:07:08,195 --> 00:07:13,875
Speaker 1: is twenty six points underwater on inflation. The White House

92
00:07:13,915 --> 00:07:20,115
Speaker 1: responds to this a disaster at every turn except border

93
00:07:20,155 --> 00:07:24,595
Speaker 1: security from the Ministry of Truth. Steven Miller says to

94
00:07:24,715 --> 00:07:28,795
Speaker 1: John Roberts on Fox News. There is our opinion that

95
00:07:28,835 --> 00:07:30,995
Speaker 1: Fox News needs to fire its polster.

96
00:07:32,915 --> 00:07:33,115
Speaker 2: War.

97
00:07:33,235 --> 00:07:35,795
Speaker 1: Miller on Fox News is also our opinion that I

98
00:07:35,835 --> 00:07:39,875
Speaker 1: have long flowing luxurious bond hair, and Fox News needs

99
00:07:39,875 --> 00:08:10,875
Speaker 1: to fire it's cameras. On the other hand, Trump did

100
00:08:10,955 --> 00:08:17,955
Speaker 1: have success in one poll, the Canadian election on inauguration Day,

101
00:08:18,355 --> 00:08:21,915
Speaker 1: Trump's inauguration Day, the Conservatives of Canada led the Liberals

102
00:08:21,915 --> 00:08:28,955
Speaker 1: in polling forty five to twenty two Monday, the Liberals won.

103
00:08:30,115 --> 00:08:34,835
Speaker 1: Conservative leader Pierre paulev first lost his ass then he

104
00:08:34,915 --> 00:08:38,275
Speaker 1: lost his seat. He's out of parliament, although he can

105
00:08:38,355 --> 00:08:41,515
Speaker 1: try to coerce some sap who got elected to resign

106
00:08:41,795 --> 00:08:45,435
Speaker 1: and hand him his seat or hand him his ass

107
00:08:46,315 --> 00:08:48,635
Speaker 1: The American right wing response to this, it would be

108
00:08:48,715 --> 00:08:52,355
Speaker 1: easier to invade Canada with the Liberals there in charge.

109
00:08:52,915 --> 00:08:55,475
Speaker 1: Or you can look at it this way, it would

110
00:08:55,475 --> 00:08:59,515
Speaker 1: be easier for Canada to invade the US with a

111
00:08:59,555 --> 00:09:03,835
Speaker 1: guy who hates Trump in charge. And remember, Canadians, you

112
00:09:03,875 --> 00:09:08,035
Speaker 1: could to borrow a phrase of somewhat recent vintage. You

113
00:09:08,115 --> 00:09:12,235
Speaker 1: could be greeted as liberators, and you might get help

114
00:09:13,315 --> 00:09:19,635
Speaker 1: from Americans, a few of us, like three hundred million

115
00:09:20,675 --> 00:09:24,995
Speaker 1: or more. The latest on the abduction and human trafficking scam.

116
00:09:25,115 --> 00:09:28,435
Speaker 1: Judge Zennis yesterday denied the ICE and Department of Justice

117
00:09:28,435 --> 00:09:32,675
Speaker 1: GESTAPO a long term delay in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case,

118
00:09:33,035 --> 00:09:36,715
Speaker 1: but gave them de facto small delays by seeing a

119
00:09:36,795 --> 00:09:39,635
Speaker 1: series of deadlines in the next three weeks for sworn

120
00:09:39,715 --> 00:09:42,715
Speaker 1: statements and testimony. This might have had something to do

121
00:09:43,195 --> 00:09:46,875
Speaker 1: with Trump making the faithful and possibly fate ole mistake

122
00:09:46,955 --> 00:09:50,435
Speaker 1: of confessing that, yes, he could get mister Abrago Garcia

123
00:09:50,555 --> 00:09:55,755
Speaker 1: back from l Salvador with one lousy phone call. He

124
00:09:55,835 --> 00:09:58,515
Speaker 1: did this by saying one of the few non ambiguous

125
00:09:58,555 --> 00:10:01,395
Speaker 1: things of his presidency in that sit down interview with

126
00:10:01,475 --> 00:10:07,555
Speaker 1: Terry Moran of ABC quote, I could, I could unquote.

127
00:10:08,395 --> 00:10:10,315
Speaker 1: Marian asked him if he could use that phone on

128
00:10:10,355 --> 00:10:13,875
Speaker 1: the resolute desk and get Abrego Garcia back. I could,

129
00:10:14,115 --> 00:10:16,275
Speaker 1: I could, was the response. And I know this will

130
00:10:16,315 --> 00:10:19,795
Speaker 1: be a controversial interpretation of what Trump said there, but

131
00:10:19,915 --> 00:10:23,595
Speaker 1: I believe that when he said I could, I could,

132
00:10:23,875 --> 00:10:27,675
Speaker 1: that could be read as meaning he could he could.

133
00:10:29,075 --> 00:10:31,715
Speaker 1: Trump then added, and if he were the gentleman that

134
00:10:31,755 --> 00:10:36,915
Speaker 1: you say he is, I would do that. Trump then

135
00:10:36,995 --> 00:10:39,235
Speaker 1: lost even more people who still think he is saying

136
00:10:39,275 --> 00:10:42,955
Speaker 1: by insisting that the tattoos on Abrego Garcia's knuckles wrongly

137
00:10:42,995 --> 00:10:48,435
Speaker 1: identified as representing the gang MS thirteen actually read MS

138
00:10:48,635 --> 00:10:51,395
Speaker 1: one three like m is on the pinky and then

139
00:10:51,595 --> 00:10:55,315
Speaker 1: s and then there's a dash, then one on the forefinger,

140
00:10:55,395 --> 00:10:57,875
Speaker 1: and then three on the thumb. He really thinks that's

141
00:10:57,995 --> 00:11:02,675
Speaker 1: what it says. He really thinks that's on the man's fingers.

142
00:11:04,835 --> 00:11:08,195
Speaker 1: Inadvertently confessed because the ABC interview was not with George

143
00:11:08,195 --> 00:11:12,995
Speaker 1: Stephanoppolis or David Muhre, he was expecting more TV fillatio

144
00:11:13,075 --> 00:11:16,435
Speaker 1: from Terry Moran, apparently unaware that Terry Moran has been

145
00:11:16,475 --> 00:11:20,395
Speaker 1: savaging him online and on the air for a decade.

146
00:11:20,955 --> 00:11:25,195
Speaker 1: Trump he had MSN fifteen known his knuckles tattooed Moran.

147
00:11:26,155 --> 00:11:29,435
Speaker 1: That was photoshopped. Trump, Terry, they're giving you the big

148
00:11:29,475 --> 00:11:32,355
Speaker 1: break of a lifetime. I picked you, but you're not

149
00:11:32,395 --> 00:11:37,155
Speaker 1: being very nice. In other words, Trump just assumed the

150
00:11:37,195 --> 00:11:41,315
Speaker 1: ABC interviewer would join him in Lyne to the world

151
00:11:41,595 --> 00:11:45,395
Speaker 1: about the man he had abducted and renditioned to an

152
00:11:45,435 --> 00:11:51,395
Speaker 1: authoritarian country. Also the big break of a lifetime. Terry

153
00:11:51,395 --> 00:11:54,875
Speaker 1: Moran is sixty four years old. I know he looks youthful,

154
00:11:55,915 --> 00:11:59,115
Speaker 1: but he's sixty four. If he hadn't gotten his big

155
00:11:59,155 --> 00:12:01,515
Speaker 1: break long before, now, Trump, you did not give it

156
00:12:01,515 --> 00:12:06,155
Speaker 1: to him on Tuesday Night. Meanwhile, well, Trump's employee who

157
00:12:06,235 --> 00:12:09,995
Speaker 1: runs Al Salvador for him, completely blew the whole thing.

158
00:12:10,515 --> 00:12:13,475
Speaker 1: As Trump was finally admitting yes, he can get Abrego

159
00:12:13,515 --> 00:12:17,475
Speaker 1: Garcia home, in an instant, President Bucell said no, no, no,

160
00:12:17,555 --> 00:12:20,515
Speaker 1: you can't. As The New York Times put it quote yesterday,

161
00:12:20,755 --> 00:12:24,395
Speaker 1: the Trump administration recently sent a diplomatic note to officials

162
00:12:24,475 --> 00:12:28,635
Speaker 1: in L Salvador to inquire about releasing a Salvadoran immigrant

163
00:12:28,755 --> 00:12:32,035
Speaker 1: whom government officials have been ordered by the Supreme Court

164
00:12:32,115 --> 00:12:35,395
Speaker 1: to help free, according to three people with knowledge of

165
00:12:35,475 --> 00:12:39,075
Speaker 1: the matter, but the authoritarian government of Naid Bukela, the

166
00:12:39,155 --> 00:12:41,635
Speaker 1: leader of L Salvador, said no. Two of the people

167
00:12:41,675 --> 00:12:44,875
Speaker 1: said the Bukela administration claimed the man should stay in L.

168
00:12:44,955 --> 00:12:48,435
Speaker 1: Salvador because he was a Salvadoran citizen. According to one

169
00:12:48,475 --> 00:12:52,555
Speaker 1: of those people, that would have been exactly the statement

170
00:12:52,675 --> 00:12:56,835
Speaker 1: Trump needed to bolster his phony Bolgoni case here if

171
00:12:56,835 --> 00:13:02,075
Speaker 1: he hadn't pre contradicted it in the ABC interview by

172
00:13:02,115 --> 00:13:04,955
Speaker 1: saying yes, I can get him back right now here

173
00:13:04,995 --> 00:13:11,195
Speaker 1: for dinner. No, Moran wasn't very nice, and as usual,

174
00:13:11,795 --> 00:13:16,155
Speaker 1: Trump wasn't very sane on the others, As you know,

175
00:13:16,235 --> 00:13:19,315
Speaker 1: the leader of the Columbia protests. The student Mosenne Madawi,

176
00:13:19,715 --> 00:13:22,555
Speaker 1: was ordered released by a court yesterday after he had

177
00:13:22,595 --> 00:13:26,955
Speaker 1: been kidnapped and detained. Madawi is wrong. He's hurting the

178
00:13:26,995 --> 00:13:31,155
Speaker 1: Palestinian cause more than Netanyahu is. I think he's an idiot.

179
00:13:31,195 --> 00:13:33,675
Speaker 1: But if you want to prosecute him for something, we

180
00:13:33,795 --> 00:13:37,235
Speaker 1: have laws and you follow them and you go to

181
00:13:37,315 --> 00:13:41,075
Speaker 1: a judge. That's why we have laws and judges. Assuming

182
00:13:41,115 --> 00:13:46,195
Speaker 1: we still do. I have nothing new on the Honduras girls,

183
00:13:46,235 --> 00:13:49,035
Speaker 1: including the four year old with cancer. The hearing on

184
00:13:49,115 --> 00:13:52,075
Speaker 1: the girl, the two year old identified as VML and

185
00:13:52,155 --> 00:13:56,155
Speaker 1: the others is two weeks from tomorrow. You will recall,

186
00:13:56,195 --> 00:13:59,755
Speaker 1: though Tom Holman's defense was if they didn't sell Miss

187
00:13:59,875 --> 00:14:03,915
Speaker 1: VML with her mother when they renditioned her mother, we

188
00:14:03,955 --> 00:14:08,755
Speaker 1: would be complaining about his Gestapo separating families. Well, it

189
00:14:08,795 --> 00:14:11,515
Speaker 1: turns out they're doing that as well. ICE sent a

190
00:14:11,515 --> 00:14:15,915
Speaker 1: woman named Heidi Sanchez from a routine immigration check in

191
00:14:15,915 --> 00:14:20,435
Speaker 1: in Tampa back to Cuba without her daughter, her one

192
00:14:20,515 --> 00:14:23,195
Speaker 1: year old daughter, her one year old daughter who was

193
00:14:23,235 --> 00:14:28,795
Speaker 1: still breastfeeding. We really need to make sure Homan and

194
00:14:28,915 --> 00:14:33,755
Speaker 1: NOME and ICE agents and Pam Bondi are tried at

195
00:14:33,755 --> 00:14:37,835
Speaker 1: the International Court of Justice at the Hague. They are

196
00:14:37,915 --> 00:14:42,355
Speaker 1: the peacetime equivalent of war criminals. Then there are the

197
00:14:42,395 --> 00:14:48,475
Speaker 1: new victims. Xavier Salazar of Texas, aged nineteen, was picked

198
00:14:48,515 --> 00:14:51,595
Speaker 1: up shackled on a bus heading towards rendition, probably to

199
00:14:51,715 --> 00:14:55,355
Speaker 1: El Salvador. When the Supreme Court ordered no further abductions

200
00:14:55,715 --> 00:14:59,995
Speaker 1: to other countries, he too was declared MS thirteen by

201
00:14:59,995 --> 00:15:04,395
Speaker 1: the Trump fascists because there was a photo of him

202
00:15:04,755 --> 00:15:07,675
Speaker 1: in his social media standing next to another kid, and

203
00:15:07,715 --> 00:15:12,755
Speaker 1: the other kid had a water pistol a squirt gun.

204
00:15:13,555 --> 00:15:17,075
Speaker 1: The squirt gun in the other kid's hand was enough

205
00:15:17,275 --> 00:15:20,875
Speaker 1: for ICE to mark Salazar down as a member of

206
00:15:21,155 --> 00:15:26,195
Speaker 1: MS thirteen. There is not just the immorality of the

207
00:15:26,355 --> 00:15:30,395
Speaker 1: entire process here, there is also the amazing stupidity and

208
00:15:30,475 --> 00:15:34,955
Speaker 1: the slovenliness and the shoot first, asked questions later with

209
00:15:35,115 --> 00:15:38,715
Speaker 1: a squirt gun quality of each individual case. They are

210
00:15:38,755 --> 00:15:44,035
Speaker 1: trying to kill kids by proxy, using as evidence photos

211
00:15:44,075 --> 00:15:48,035
Speaker 1: of a different kid holding what is not a gun.

212
00:15:49,475 --> 00:15:52,795
Speaker 1: Turns out ICE is also lying about it. Its arrests totals.

213
00:15:52,915 --> 00:15:57,195
Speaker 1: This is from Aaron Reichlan Melnick of the American Immigration Council.

214
00:15:57,595 --> 00:16:00,275
Speaker 1: He writes, Ice clarifies that the one hundred and fifty

215
00:16:00,275 --> 00:16:02,955
Speaker 1: one thousand arrest figure put out by the White House

216
00:16:03,075 --> 00:16:07,675
Speaker 1: is not internal arrests, as Caroline Levitt and DHS have implied.

217
00:16:07,955 --> 00:16:13,675
Speaker 1: The figure likely includes all CBP encounters, including people with

218
00:16:13,955 --> 00:16:19,315
Speaker 1: visa issues at airports. The actual ICE arrest number is

219
00:16:19,355 --> 00:16:23,395
Speaker 1: sixty six thousand, five hundred high, but not historic. On

220
00:16:23,475 --> 00:16:26,795
Speaker 1: March thirteenth, he writes, Ice said the agency had conducted

221
00:16:26,835 --> 00:16:29,875
Speaker 1: thirty two, eight hundred and nine arrests in its first

222
00:16:29,915 --> 00:16:32,275
Speaker 1: fifty days. That would be an average of six hundred

223
00:16:32,315 --> 00:16:35,875
Speaker 1: and fifty six arrests per day. So now they're averaging

224
00:16:35,955 --> 00:16:39,275
Speaker 1: six hundred and sixty five arrests per day. If ICE

225
00:16:39,355 --> 00:16:41,995
Speaker 1: manages to keep up this level of arrests, it would

226
00:16:42,035 --> 00:16:45,075
Speaker 1: reach a level last scene in the first Obama term.

227
00:16:45,315 --> 00:16:47,875
Speaker 1: Six hundred and sixty five arrests a day, on average

228
00:16:48,035 --> 00:16:50,315
Speaker 1: would be two hundred and forty three thousand arrests for

229
00:16:50,355 --> 00:16:53,155
Speaker 1: the year. ICE reported three hundred and twenty two thousand

230
00:16:53,235 --> 00:16:56,875
Speaker 1: arrests in fiscal year twenty eleven, which is still the record.

231
00:16:57,075 --> 00:16:59,635
Speaker 1: In other words, all of this, all of this nightmare,

232
00:16:59,795 --> 00:17:03,955
Speaker 1: all of this destroying of the fabric of the American

233
00:17:04,035 --> 00:17:10,515
Speaker 1: consciousness and the American conscience, and they have to lie

234
00:17:10,595 --> 00:17:14,195
Speaker 1: to make the arrest totals look big. They're not even

235
00:17:14,315 --> 00:17:20,235
Speaker 1: doing their evil well up the road in the administration

236
00:17:20,355 --> 00:17:24,195
Speaker 1: checking in on the administration's alcoholism problem, the Secretary of

237
00:17:24,235 --> 00:17:28,275
Speaker 1: Whiskey has killed a Defense Department program that fostered and

238
00:17:28,315 --> 00:17:31,595
Speaker 1: promoted the contributions of women in the national security area.

239
00:17:31,915 --> 00:17:37,275
Speaker 1: The Women Peace and Security Act WPS basically a backslapping

240
00:17:37,715 --> 00:17:43,235
Speaker 1: thank you card kind of operation. Hegseeth's announcement quote, WPS

241
00:17:43,315 --> 00:17:47,195
Speaker 1: has yet another woke, divisive social justice Biden initiative that

242
00:17:47,275 --> 00:17:51,035
Speaker 1: overburdens our commanders and troops, distracting from our core task.

243
00:17:51,595 --> 00:17:59,035
Speaker 1: Excuse me, war fighting. Department of Defense will hereby executive

244
00:17:59,115 --> 00:18:02,235
Speaker 1: the minimum of WPS required by statute and fight to

245
00:18:02,355 --> 00:18:06,235
Speaker 1: end the program for our next budget. Good riddence. WPS

246
00:18:08,635 --> 00:18:12,075
Speaker 1: Secretary Pete drunk Breath has one small problem here. WPS

247
00:18:12,195 --> 00:18:19,595
Speaker 1: was signed into law by President President Trump. This is

248
00:18:19,595 --> 00:18:24,475
Speaker 1: a Trump program WPS. Trump in twenty seventeen, hag Seth

249
00:18:24,595 --> 00:18:29,475
Speaker 1: just killed a Trump program that was too woke. Why

250
00:18:29,475 --> 00:18:33,955
Speaker 1: did Trump's numbers tank because he became too woke? Back

251
00:18:34,035 --> 00:18:36,675
Speaker 1: then in twenty seventeen, it was championed by people who

252
00:18:36,675 --> 00:18:39,595
Speaker 1: are in the new Trump administration, or, as we all

253
00:18:39,675 --> 00:18:45,395
Speaker 1: are beginning to call it now, Titanic. More bad news

254
00:18:45,475 --> 00:18:48,835
Speaker 1: for mister. The next round is on me an amendment

255
00:18:49,035 --> 00:18:52,835
Speaker 1: to a House bill from Congresswoman Sarah Jacobs of California

256
00:18:53,515 --> 00:18:58,235
Speaker 1: limitation on use of funds for a makeup studio for

257
00:18:58,315 --> 00:19:01,435
Speaker 1: the Secretary of Defense. None of the funds made available

258
00:19:01,475 --> 00:19:04,195
Speaker 1: by this title may be used to construct sustained outfit

259
00:19:04,355 --> 00:19:08,875
Speaker 1: or may a dedicated makeup studio for the Secretary of

260
00:19:08,915 --> 00:19:12,115
Speaker 1: Defense within the Pentagon or any other building under the

261
00:19:12,195 --> 00:19:17,755
Speaker 1: jurisdiction of the Department of Defense. No response to Sarah

262
00:19:17,795 --> 00:19:24,555
Speaker 1: Jacob's amendment from the Secretary of Mabelene the Secretary of Defense,

263
00:19:26,835 --> 00:19:40,595
Speaker 1: Secretary of Defense of Mabelene. Meanwhile, back in the private sector,

264
00:19:40,915 --> 00:19:46,315
Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos is Trump's bitch. What does capitulating to blackmail

265
00:19:46,355 --> 00:19:50,675
Speaker 1: get you, Jeff? What it always gets you more blackmail?

266
00:19:51,835 --> 00:19:56,875
Speaker 1: Timeline one punch Bowl News reported Amazon would start noting

267
00:19:56,915 --> 00:20:00,275
Speaker 1: how much more products on its site cost you because

268
00:20:00,275 --> 00:20:04,395
Speaker 1: of the tariffs. Sixty percent of Amazon sales are from

269
00:20:04,435 --> 00:20:07,835
Speaker 1: the smaller businesses Trump is out to kill with the tariffs. Two.

270
00:20:08,475 --> 00:20:13,275
Speaker 1: Within hours, Amazon publicly denied this. Three after that, lying

271
00:20:13,475 --> 00:20:17,435
Speaker 1: Caroline lying Levitt attacked Amazon. I just got off the

272
00:20:17,475 --> 00:20:20,675
Speaker 1: found with the President at death about Amazon, the announcement

273
00:20:21,155 --> 00:20:26,875
Speaker 1: that the host dial and political act by Amathon four.

274
00:20:27,275 --> 00:20:31,395
Speaker 1: An Amazon spokesman, then denied it was ever even possibly

275
00:20:31,475 --> 00:20:35,515
Speaker 1: remotely chance worthy going to be true. Tim Doyle, the

276
00:20:35,595 --> 00:20:39,835
Speaker 1: team that runs our ultra low cost Amazon Hall store,

277
00:20:40,275 --> 00:20:44,635
Speaker 1: considered the idea of listing import charges on certain products.

278
00:20:44,915 --> 00:20:48,115
Speaker 1: This was never approved and is not going to happen.

279
00:20:48,155 --> 00:20:51,795
Speaker 1: I swear, I swear to Jesus, I swear. Turns out

280
00:20:51,795 --> 00:20:54,235
Speaker 1: there was one step on that timeline we didn't know

281
00:20:54,275 --> 00:20:58,115
Speaker 1: about initially. It was step one A of all people.

282
00:20:58,315 --> 00:21:03,035
Speaker 1: Fox News reported at first Jackie Heinrich, how she keeps

283
00:21:03,035 --> 00:21:05,235
Speaker 1: her job there? I don't know, but may the Good

284
00:21:05,275 --> 00:21:10,555
Speaker 1: Lord bless her and keeper Confirming reports, sources familiar tell

285
00:21:10,675 --> 00:21:15,035
Speaker 1: Fox that President Trump called Jeff Bezos this morning to

286
00:21:15,195 --> 00:21:21,275
Speaker 1: complain about plans to display tariff impact on Amazon product prices.

287
00:21:23,715 --> 00:21:26,395
Speaker 1: Every network in the world except the Game Show Channel

288
00:21:26,475 --> 00:21:29,915
Speaker 1: then confirmed the report. Then Trump confirmed he called Bezos,

289
00:21:29,955 --> 00:21:33,675
Speaker 1: and Bezos fielded the problem for Trump, or ren fielded

290
00:21:33,675 --> 00:21:36,915
Speaker 1: the problem for Trump. Quote he was terrific. He solved

291
00:21:36,915 --> 00:21:41,555
Speaker 1: the problem very quickly. It's a good thing Jeff Bezos

292
00:21:41,595 --> 00:21:45,595
Speaker 1: destroyed the Washington Post curry favor with Trump. Trump now

293
00:21:45,755 --> 00:21:49,755
Speaker 1: owns him, and of course this will not stop as

294
00:21:49,835 --> 00:21:55,075
Speaker 1: life worsens for Trump, as the net minus continues to grow,

295
00:21:55,315 --> 00:21:58,315
Speaker 1: he will demand more and more from Bezos, because that's

296
00:21:58,395 --> 00:22:02,955
Speaker 1: what blackmailers do, especially to those victims who have lost

297
00:22:03,035 --> 00:22:07,115
Speaker 1: the will to metaphorically live, like Jeff Bezos obviously has.

298
00:22:07,995 --> 00:22:11,675
Speaker 1: It is sad but true. If you do not already

299
00:22:11,755 --> 00:22:15,555
Speaker 1: doubt every word printed in the Washington Post, and if

300
00:22:15,595 --> 00:22:19,795
Speaker 1: you don't already at least look for other buying options

301
00:22:19,835 --> 00:22:31,435
Speaker 1: before going to Amazon start and this could boomerang badly

302
00:22:31,515 --> 00:22:36,315
Speaker 1: for Trump. He has ordered that truck drivers now that

303
00:22:36,395 --> 00:22:40,635
Speaker 1: they well, basically what President Ted Bundy told the truck

304
00:22:40,715 --> 00:22:44,915
Speaker 1: drivers is speak English here and fascist America. Now. Another

305
00:22:45,115 --> 00:22:49,075
Speaker 1: royal decree from the man who thinks he's king and

306
00:22:49,155 --> 00:22:52,435
Speaker 1: believes it because Pam Bondi keeps telling him it's true.

307
00:22:53,315 --> 00:22:58,315
Speaker 1: Truckers quote should be able to read and understand traffic signs,

308
00:22:58,595 --> 00:23:03,075
Speaker 1: communicate with traffic safety, border patrol, agricultural checkpoints, and cargo

309
00:23:03,235 --> 00:23:07,035
Speaker 1: weight limit Station office drivers need to provide feedback to

310
00:23:07,115 --> 00:23:11,555
Speaker 1: their employers and customers and receive related directions in English.

311
00:23:12,995 --> 00:23:17,955
Speaker 1: Have we noticed this as some sort of huge problem.

312
00:23:18,275 --> 00:23:21,555
Speaker 1: Have they been driving past the wait limit station officers?

313
00:23:21,595 --> 00:23:23,875
Speaker 1: Have they been parking there and just staying there for

314
00:23:23,995 --> 00:23:26,755
Speaker 1: days at a time because they don't speak English or

315
00:23:26,835 --> 00:23:30,475
Speaker 1: won't speak English? No, sir, this is not just some

316
00:23:30,555 --> 00:23:33,795
Speaker 1: sort of official language proclamation, which was bad enough as

317
00:23:33,835 --> 00:23:36,955
Speaker 1: it was, if you don't recognize the Trump scam and

318
00:23:36,995 --> 00:23:40,875
Speaker 1: the methodology therein by now this is a precursor to

319
00:23:41,035 --> 00:23:46,555
Speaker 1: imposing English only restrictions in countless other aspects of American life.

320
00:23:46,715 --> 00:23:51,115
Speaker 1: One can imagine that it will extend into government and

321
00:23:51,235 --> 00:23:58,755
Speaker 1: into politics, and especially into elections, because what could disenfranchise

322
00:23:59,235 --> 00:24:06,035
Speaker 1: minority voters faster than English only election data and advertisements

323
00:24:06,075 --> 00:24:12,635
Speaker 1: and campaigns and English only polling places. Of course, here

324
00:24:12,675 --> 00:24:16,875
Speaker 1: is where it rebounds against Trump. If English does become

325
00:24:17,035 --> 00:24:22,115
Speaker 1: mandatory in government or in politics, what are these fots

326
00:24:22,435 --> 00:24:26,355
Speaker 1: friends of Trump going to do for a living. Elon

327
00:24:26,475 --> 00:24:32,475
Speaker 1: Musk unintelligible in any language, but especially in English, especially

328
00:24:32,475 --> 00:24:35,235
Speaker 1: when he's wearing two Maga caps at the same time,

329
00:24:35,635 --> 00:24:38,915
Speaker 1: like he was at the Cabinet meeting. Yesterday, the squeezing

330
00:24:39,035 --> 00:24:44,515
Speaker 1: tightly what's left of his calcified brain. On the other hand,

331
00:24:44,595 --> 00:24:48,915
Speaker 1: two caps is not enough. He really needs seventeen. Musk

332
00:24:48,995 --> 00:24:51,995
Speaker 1: needs at least seventeen to cover each of his personalities.

333
00:24:52,915 --> 00:24:55,315
Speaker 1: What about Senator Roger Marshall. What will he do if

334
00:24:55,355 --> 00:24:58,635
Speaker 1: English becomes mandatory? He still thinks the worst terrorist act

335
00:24:58,715 --> 00:25:02,315
Speaker 1: in our history is pronounced nine to one to one.

336
00:25:02,475 --> 00:25:05,715
Speaker 1: What about the Secretary of Insufficient Education Jaian McMahon, who

337
00:25:05,795 --> 00:25:10,595
Speaker 1: believes the chatbot she has is using a one? What

338
00:25:10,635 --> 00:25:15,875
Speaker 1: about herschel Walker? What about Marjorie's stupid green she doesn't

339
00:25:15,875 --> 00:25:21,995
Speaker 1: speak English? And of course what about Press Secretary Lying

340
00:25:22,235 --> 00:25:27,675
Speaker 1: Caroline Lying Levitt, who thinks the Nazi guy was named

341
00:25:27,875 --> 00:25:36,355
Speaker 1: Adolph Hilter, Ladolf Hilter. And of course you have to

342
00:25:36,395 --> 00:25:40,995
Speaker 1: speak English to serve in government. Well, if that goes

343
00:25:41,035 --> 00:25:49,235
Speaker 1: into effect, what the hell does Trump do? Then? No,

344
00:25:49,355 --> 00:25:51,475
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, sir. You can't come into the Oval office.

345
00:25:51,475 --> 00:25:54,835
Speaker 1: You can't say your name without getting something wrong. Also

346
00:25:54,875 --> 00:25:58,235
Speaker 1: of interest here, yes, there are new developments in Bill

347
00:25:58,275 --> 00:26:03,835
Speaker 1: Maher's self immolation. Thank you for asking he did something

348
00:26:03,875 --> 00:26:08,275
Speaker 1: else seven years ago that he just attacked Larry David

349
00:26:08,315 --> 00:26:13,035
Speaker 1: for doing earlier this month. That's next. This is countdown.

350
00:26:14,715 --> 00:26:39,475
Speaker 1: This is countdown with Keith Oberman still had on this

351
00:26:39,555 --> 00:26:43,795
Speaker 1: initiative countdown. I saw a payphone in New York the

352
00:26:43,835 --> 00:26:51,115
Speaker 1: other day, a working payphone, and memories came flooding back,

353
00:26:51,875 --> 00:26:56,355
Speaker 1: including the time I literally stopped pedestrian traffic in New

354
00:26:56,475 --> 00:27:00,075
Speaker 1: York on what must have been the first time anybody

355
00:27:00,115 --> 00:27:05,115
Speaker 1: in the city ever saw the thing that killed off

356
00:27:05,355 --> 00:27:10,715
Speaker 1: the payphone. Something lighter as comic relief. Next in things

357
00:27:10,715 --> 00:27:13,155
Speaker 1: I promised not to tell first, Believe it or not,

358
00:27:13,195 --> 00:27:16,275
Speaker 1: there's still more new idiots to talk about. The roundup

359
00:27:16,315 --> 00:27:18,995
Speaker 1: of the mis grants, morons and Dunning Krueger effects specimens

360
00:27:18,995 --> 00:27:24,355
Speaker 1: who constitute the latest other worse persons in the world.

361
00:27:24,715 --> 00:27:28,555
Speaker 1: Don't call collect. Let me dedicate this addition to Bill

362
00:27:28,635 --> 00:27:32,035
Speaker 1: Maher and advise him he did not make the cut

363
00:27:32,035 --> 00:27:35,635
Speaker 1: this time. This is principally in order to give him

364
00:27:35,635 --> 00:27:39,235
Speaker 1: a few days to get his wounds attended to, mostly

365
00:27:39,275 --> 00:27:44,355
Speaker 1: the ones Larry David inflicted on him, but helped. Larry

366
00:27:44,435 --> 00:27:46,595
Speaker 1: called my attention to and it was my old friend

367
00:27:46,595 --> 00:27:49,435
Speaker 1: Sam Seedter of the Majority Report who found and clipped it.

368
00:27:50,555 --> 00:27:55,915
Speaker 1: This additional Bill maher bit of hypocrisy. You will recall

369
00:27:56,395 --> 00:28:00,195
Speaker 1: that Larry had turned Bill into confetti over going to

370
00:28:00,235 --> 00:28:02,475
Speaker 1: the White House for dinner with Trump and falling for

371
00:28:02,555 --> 00:28:06,275
Speaker 1: the Ted Bundy stuff all over again. His op ed

372
00:28:06,275 --> 00:28:08,675
Speaker 1: in The Times was called My Dinner with Adolf. Bill

373
00:28:08,755 --> 00:28:11,955
Speaker 1: immediately insisted that by comparing Trump to Hitler, Larry was

374
00:28:11,995 --> 00:28:16,435
Speaker 1: insulting six million dead Jews. I found clips from twenty

375
00:28:16,555 --> 00:28:20,715
Speaker 1: fifteen in which Bill compared Trump to Hitler twice on

376
00:28:20,755 --> 00:28:24,595
Speaker 1: his show in a span of just four shows. I also,

377
00:28:24,715 --> 00:28:28,715
Speaker 1: as I told you, remembered being on with Bill as

378
00:28:28,755 --> 00:28:32,195
Speaker 1: he repudiated his previous statements that Trump was a great guy.

379
00:28:33,115 --> 00:28:36,555
Speaker 1: He said Trump had fooled him. Now Trump's fooled him

380
00:28:36,555 --> 00:28:40,115
Speaker 1: again because he doesn't remember anything. But it was Sam

381
00:28:40,195 --> 00:28:45,515
Speaker 1: Cedar who found Bill also frying Geraldo Rivera for doing

382
00:28:45,555 --> 00:28:48,715
Speaker 1: the other thing that Bill Maher has done here doubling

383
00:28:48,875 --> 00:28:54,395
Speaker 1: down defending himself by trying to separate Trump, the power

384
00:28:54,515 --> 00:28:59,075
Speaker 1: crazed demon from Hell, from Trump, the glib dinner host

385
00:28:59,235 --> 00:29:03,755
Speaker 1: who only orders the best burgers from McDonald's. This is

386
00:29:03,875 --> 00:29:10,195
Speaker 1: Bill Maher with Heraldo Rivera excoriating Heraldo Rivera over Trump

387
00:29:10,435 --> 00:29:14,835
Speaker 1: from twenty eighteen, and I have stolen this clip from

388
00:29:15,195 --> 00:29:18,995
Speaker 1: the Majority Report. You know, Trump is my friend. I've

389
00:29:18,995 --> 00:29:21,995
Speaker 1: known Trump for forty years. I don't have any I

390
00:29:22,035 --> 00:29:25,115
Speaker 1: don't have He didn't Trump, he didn't go to Trump.

391
00:29:25,155 --> 00:29:28,035
Speaker 1: He tru remain my friend when I felt he had

392
00:29:28,075 --> 00:29:29,075
Speaker 1: a certain moral lack.

393
00:29:29,195 --> 00:29:33,435
Speaker 3: Well in my in my family, my wife agrees with you.

394
00:29:33,595 --> 00:29:36,435
Speaker 3: She doesn't like his policies on so many things that

395
00:29:36,475 --> 00:29:39,195
Speaker 3: I already listed. So she just can't stand the guy.

396
00:29:39,795 --> 00:29:42,235
Speaker 3: I'm different. I can separate the man who has always

397
00:29:42,235 --> 00:29:43,875
Speaker 3: been gracious to me, always been.

398
00:29:43,955 --> 00:29:44,875
Speaker 1: Nice to my family.

399
00:29:45,275 --> 00:29:47,635
Speaker 3: You know, you were on Celebrity Printice together together every

400
00:29:47,675 --> 00:29:50,355
Speaker 3: day for six weeks. I've done him really through every

401
00:29:50,555 --> 00:29:51,795
Speaker 3: shit he's running the world.

402
00:29:51,875 --> 00:29:53,635
Speaker 1: But now what does that matter that he was nice

403
00:29:53,675 --> 00:29:56,635
Speaker 1: to you with Thanksgiving? Hold, I'm not trying to be

404
00:29:56,675 --> 00:30:00,595
Speaker 1: as not trying to be an asshole to you. You're

405
00:30:00,635 --> 00:30:03,115
Speaker 1: a smart guy. This befuddles me, but it looked up

406
00:30:03,155 --> 00:30:06,715
Speaker 1: to you. Bill. I have a suggestion for you after that.

407
00:30:06,995 --> 00:30:09,115
Speaker 1: It's a one word suggestion for you. Are you ready

408
00:30:09,155 --> 00:30:16,835
Speaker 1: for it? My suggestion is hiatus Hello Anyway. The winner

409
00:30:16,915 --> 00:30:19,435
Speaker 1: is in the Worst Persons in the World segment. The

410
00:30:19,435 --> 00:30:23,995
Speaker 1: bronze worse Minnesota Congressman Tom Emmer, who in the House

411
00:30:24,075 --> 00:30:28,275
Speaker 1: represents Trump and does not represent anybody from Minnesota, even

412
00:30:28,315 --> 00:30:31,955
Speaker 1: though he was elected by Minnesota's sixth district. He is

413
00:30:31,995 --> 00:30:36,035
Speaker 1: the majority whip, meaning he doesn't mind when Trump whips him,

414
00:30:36,515 --> 00:30:40,275
Speaker 1: which he does if Mike Johnson is unavailable. Emmer is

415
00:30:40,315 --> 00:30:43,755
Speaker 1: a fully compromised Trump whore, and the degree to which

416
00:30:43,795 --> 00:30:47,035
Speaker 1: that is true has been underscored again as Emmer files

417
00:30:47,075 --> 00:30:50,715
Speaker 1: an ethics complaint in the House against another member of

418
00:30:50,755 --> 00:30:54,795
Speaker 1: the Minnesota delegation, the Democrat Angie Craig of the Minnesota

419
00:30:54,955 --> 00:31:00,635
Speaker 1: second District. Her crime, according to Emmer, quote misuse of

420
00:31:00,715 --> 00:31:05,755
Speaker 1: public resources that erodes the trust Americans place in their

421
00:31:05,795 --> 00:31:11,835
Speaker 1: elected officials and undermines the integrity of our institutions. So

422
00:31:12,235 --> 00:31:17,875
Speaker 1: resources taxpayer money? What did she do? Did she imbezzle it? Oh? Nos?

423
00:31:18,435 --> 00:31:21,395
Speaker 1: What did Angie Craig do? Did she spend taxpayer money

424
00:31:21,395 --> 00:31:25,555
Speaker 1: on a makeup studio? Did she dig up the Capitol

425
00:31:25,635 --> 00:31:29,195
Speaker 1: Hill lawn to put down cement and to install one

426
00:31:29,315 --> 00:31:34,155
Speaker 1: hundred foot flagpoles? Did she buy Ben Carson's old thirty

427
00:31:34,155 --> 00:31:38,995
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars office desk for her own office? No, sir,

428
00:31:40,395 --> 00:31:45,355
Speaker 1: since Tom Emmer wouldn't she held a town hall in

429
00:31:45,475 --> 00:31:50,795
Speaker 1: Minnesota in Tom Ehmer's district. Tom Emmer had had a

430
00:31:50,875 --> 00:31:53,955
Speaker 1: virtual town hall in March, during which he insisted that

431
00:31:53,995 --> 00:31:57,515
Speaker 1: when prices skyrocketed because of Trump's tariffs, that would make

432
00:31:57,555 --> 00:32:01,515
Speaker 1: Trump more popular, and everything was great out there in Minnesota,

433
00:32:02,035 --> 00:32:04,955
Speaker 1: even though he wasn't there and wouldn't go there, and

434
00:32:04,995 --> 00:32:07,475
Speaker 1: wouldn't dare go there, and wouldn't talk to anybody in

435
00:32:07,715 --> 00:32:10,475
Speaker 1: public in Minnesota, and if it's possible to get booed

436
00:32:10,475 --> 00:32:13,635
Speaker 1: off the internet, he got booed off the internet during

437
00:32:13,675 --> 00:32:16,795
Speaker 1: this zoom call. He has not set foot in public

438
00:32:16,835 --> 00:32:21,475
Speaker 1: in the Minnesota sixth since. So Angie Craig, being a

439
00:32:21,595 --> 00:32:24,875
Speaker 1: servant of all the people of Minnesota, held a town

440
00:32:24,955 --> 00:32:27,995
Speaker 1: hall in the Minnesota sixth for which Emmer wants her

441
00:32:28,155 --> 00:32:31,795
Speaker 1: reprimanded by the House Ethics Committee. How dare you talk

442
00:32:31,915 --> 00:32:37,835
Speaker 1: to the citizens? One might think Tom Emmer would be

443
00:32:37,955 --> 00:32:41,515
Speaker 1: momentarily smart about this and not call further attention to

444
00:32:41,555 --> 00:32:43,875
Speaker 1: the fact that he's too much of a coward to

445
00:32:43,995 --> 00:32:48,475
Speaker 1: hold a town hall anywhere in Minnesota, or calling more

446
00:32:48,475 --> 00:32:51,115
Speaker 1: attention to the other inconvenient truth here, which is that

447
00:32:51,235 --> 00:32:58,355
Speaker 1: Angie Craig's second district adjoins Tom Emmer's sixth district. There's

448
00:32:58,395 --> 00:33:01,155
Speaker 1: a street somewhere that starts out in the second and

449
00:33:01,275 --> 00:33:04,355
Speaker 1: ends in the sixth. If Emmer isn't going to listen

450
00:33:04,355 --> 00:33:08,875
Speaker 1: to vote, is there Angie Craig? Damn well? Should she

451
00:33:09,115 --> 00:33:12,195
Speaker 1: should get a menu, a medal or a menu. She

452
00:33:12,235 --> 00:33:17,035
Speaker 1: should get a menu full of medals for doing Tom

453
00:33:17,075 --> 00:33:22,515
Speaker 1: Emmer's job for him.

454
00:33:20,875 --> 00:33:25,755
Speaker 2: Man Man ethics complaint for her because she was she

455
00:33:25,915 --> 00:33:29,475
Speaker 2: was talking to constituents when I I'm too much of

456
00:33:29,515 --> 00:33:31,115
Speaker 2: a we need to do it myself.

457
00:33:31,675 --> 00:33:34,875
Speaker 1: Hit me again, mister Trump. The runner up worser Ed

458
00:33:34,955 --> 00:33:39,475
Speaker 1: Martin also whipped by Trump. Ed Martin lyar, he is

459
00:33:39,555 --> 00:33:42,075
Speaker 1: the whack job Trump nominee for US to attorney for

460
00:33:42,355 --> 00:33:46,435
Speaker 1: DC and he just got nailed. As Ed Martin await

461
00:33:46,555 --> 00:33:49,955
Speaker 1: Senate confirmation. Somebody pointed out he had praised the Holocaust

462
00:33:50,035 --> 00:33:55,795
Speaker 1: denier and Hitler dresser upper, Timothy Hale q Sinelli. Martin immediately,

463
00:33:56,755 --> 00:33:59,075
Speaker 1: now I think this is called lied. He said he

464
00:33:59,155 --> 00:34:02,515
Speaker 1: knew nothing about Hale q Sinelli's psycho views. Quote. I

465
00:34:02,555 --> 00:34:05,395
Speaker 1: denounce everything about what that guy said, everything about the

466
00:34:05,395 --> 00:34:08,755
Speaker 1: way he talked and all as I've now seen it,

467
00:34:09,515 --> 00:34:13,795
Speaker 1: at the time I didn't know it. Uh oh, here

468
00:34:14,075 --> 00:34:19,275
Speaker 1: come the podcasts. Ed Martin not only hosted Timothy hale

469
00:34:19,355 --> 00:34:24,275
Speaker 1: Qsinelli on his podcast on Ed Martin's podcast five times

470
00:34:25,475 --> 00:34:31,795
Speaker 1: last year, just last year, but CNN also found that

471
00:34:31,835 --> 00:34:35,355
Speaker 1: Martin defended the photos hale Qsinelli took of himself pretending

472
00:34:35,395 --> 00:34:39,355
Speaker 1: to be Hitler. He branded criticism of hale Qsinelli as

473
00:34:39,675 --> 00:34:43,755
Speaker 1: character assassination, called him a great guy, and when that

474
00:34:43,995 --> 00:34:50,635
Speaker 1: wasn't enough, he called hale Qsinelli an amazing guy. Well,

475
00:34:51,275 --> 00:34:54,115
Speaker 1: the last part about an amazing guy, that's that's true.

476
00:34:54,115 --> 00:34:57,875
Speaker 1: He's he's pretty amazing. Clearly, Ed Martin has to be

477
00:34:57,915 --> 00:35:03,755
Speaker 1: withdrawn as DCUs attorney nominee and instead nominated to be

478
00:35:04,915 --> 00:35:11,435
Speaker 1: Press secretary. But the winner worst el Trumpo himself President

479
00:35:11,555 --> 00:35:18,915
Speaker 1: Scrooge McDuck Ted Bundy himself. This time. The demand from

480
00:35:18,955 --> 00:35:23,995
Speaker 1: Trump's education Gestapo is for the University of Pennsylvania to

481
00:35:24,235 --> 00:35:27,195
Speaker 1: lose one hundred and seventy five million dollars in federal

482
00:35:27,235 --> 00:35:31,395
Speaker 1: funding unless it restores quote to all female athletes, all

483
00:35:31,475 --> 00:35:36,475
Speaker 1: individual athletic records, titles, honors, awards, or similar recognition for

484
00:35:36,595 --> 00:35:43,875
Speaker 1: Division I swimming competitions misappropriated by male athletes unquote, and

485
00:35:45,275 --> 00:35:47,755
Speaker 1: Penn must write a letter of apology to every female

486
00:35:47,795 --> 00:35:51,355
Speaker 1: athlete involved within ten days or quote risk a referral

487
00:35:51,395 --> 00:35:57,195
Speaker 1: to the US Department of Justice for enforcement proceedings. We

488
00:35:57,275 --> 00:35:59,155
Speaker 1: need the ten days so we could explain it to

489
00:35:59,195 --> 00:36:03,275
Speaker 1: Pam Bondy, who's what we used to call slow. No,

490
00:36:03,355 --> 00:36:05,515
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding about any of this except the Pam

491
00:36:05,555 --> 00:36:07,915
Speaker 1: Bondi part. I mean explaining it to her. I don't

492
00:36:07,915 --> 00:36:10,515
Speaker 1: know if she's slow or not. This is about Leah Thomas,

493
00:36:10,915 --> 00:36:18,075
Speaker 1: the Penn swimmer whose success destroyed America's favorite failure, Riley Gains,

494
00:36:19,635 --> 00:36:23,355
Speaker 1: and caused her to finish tied for fifth rather than

495
00:36:23,595 --> 00:36:28,355
Speaker 1: just fifth or maybe tied for fourth, tied for fifth

496
00:36:29,075 --> 00:36:33,115
Speaker 1: in the only race she competed against that Thomas was in.

497
00:36:34,995 --> 00:36:38,195
Speaker 1: Of course, Thomas also caused poor Riley Gains to finish

498
00:36:38,235 --> 00:36:44,035
Speaker 1: eighty fifth in the Olympic qualifying events. Because, once again,

499
00:36:44,075 --> 00:36:47,395
Speaker 1: as I've mentioned before, any female athlete who failed, it's

500
00:36:47,435 --> 00:36:51,395
Speaker 1: because of transgender surgery from some x guy. It's not

501
00:36:51,595 --> 00:36:54,715
Speaker 1: because the female athlete wasn't any damn good at her sport.

502
00:36:55,755 --> 00:36:59,075
Speaker 1: It couldn't possibly be because they like you and I

503
00:36:59,235 --> 00:37:02,435
Speaker 1: and every American from you and I to Babe Ruth

504
00:37:02,675 --> 00:37:05,435
Speaker 1: had to face the day when we realized we weren't

505
00:37:05,435 --> 00:37:10,195
Speaker 1: good enough or good enough anymore at sports. The day

506
00:37:10,275 --> 00:37:13,275
Speaker 1: we realized, if you are a first baseman who hits

507
00:37:13,355 --> 00:37:16,835
Speaker 1: one thirty eight for NIMA New York Military Academy, like

508
00:37:16,915 --> 00:37:20,915
Speaker 1: Trump did, you're gonna have to try something else. And

509
00:37:20,995 --> 00:37:24,115
Speaker 1: I wish to god he hit seven thirty eight and

510
00:37:24,195 --> 00:37:26,795
Speaker 1: had been signed by the San Francisco Giants and was

511
00:37:26,835 --> 00:37:30,435
Speaker 1: still playing Major League Baseball today at age two hundred

512
00:37:30,475 --> 00:37:33,515
Speaker 1: and six or whatever he is. I wish I'd done

513
00:37:33,555 --> 00:37:38,755
Speaker 1: his highlights every day on Sports Center, anything other than this. No,

514
00:37:39,515 --> 00:37:45,355
Speaker 1: it's not that moment when you realize I can't swim.

515
00:37:45,435 --> 00:37:49,995
Speaker 1: It's not that, it's not that, for all intents and purposes,

516
00:37:50,195 --> 00:37:54,795
Speaker 1: Riley Gains can't swim. It's transgender surgery. It's their fault.

517
00:37:54,955 --> 00:37:58,435
Speaker 1: It can't be my fault. I'm Riley Gaines. I'm the

518
00:37:58,475 --> 00:38:03,755
Speaker 1: eighty fifth best swimmer. Because we all remember what happened

519
00:38:03,755 --> 00:38:07,155
Speaker 1: when my friend Renee Richards played in the US Tennis Open.

520
00:38:07,195 --> 00:38:10,875
Speaker 1: Starting in nineteen seventy seven, after being born Richard Raskin

521
00:38:11,515 --> 00:38:15,795
Speaker 1: you will remember that Renee won thirty consecutive US Open

522
00:38:15,875 --> 00:38:19,515
Speaker 1: titles and thirty consecutive Wimbledon's and twenty nine out of

523
00:38:19,555 --> 00:38:22,035
Speaker 1: thirty French Opens. The only time she didn't win was

524
00:38:22,115 --> 00:38:24,235
Speaker 1: once she had to do eye surgery on that guy

525
00:38:24,475 --> 00:38:26,275
Speaker 1: and she had to drop out. It was an emergency.

526
00:38:26,395 --> 00:38:31,275
Speaker 1: And you remember how Renee destroyed women's tennis, and you

527
00:38:31,355 --> 00:38:33,755
Speaker 1: never heard of Martine and Nevertelova or Chris Evert or

528
00:38:33,795 --> 00:38:38,435
Speaker 1: Tracy Austin or right, that didn't happen. None of that happened,

529
00:38:38,475 --> 00:38:40,675
Speaker 1: because the best Renee Richards ever did at the US

530
00:38:40,715 --> 00:38:43,755
Speaker 1: Open was losing the doubles final in nineteen seventy seven.

531
00:38:43,795 --> 00:38:48,995
Speaker 1: Because yes, transgender athletes might have some slight biological advantages, like,

532
00:38:49,115 --> 00:38:52,715
Speaker 1: as Renee points out, longer bones. And guess what you

533
00:38:52,715 --> 00:38:57,115
Speaker 1: could simply allow for that by giving the transgender athlete

534
00:38:57,115 --> 00:39:00,875
Speaker 1: a slight disadvantage what they call in horse racing a handicap.

535
00:39:01,835 --> 00:39:05,115
Speaker 1: When it's match play against CIS females, I could give

536
00:39:05,155 --> 00:39:08,475
Speaker 1: the opponent a win in one tennis game before the

537
00:39:08,515 --> 00:39:10,835
Speaker 1: match even starts, or you give them half a second

538
00:39:10,875 --> 00:39:12,795
Speaker 1: in the pool before they get in the pool. And

539
00:39:12,835 --> 00:39:16,995
Speaker 1: thus this could all be resolved by next Monday. But

540
00:39:17,075 --> 00:39:20,435
Speaker 1: this isn't about sports or athletes or Riley Gaines. It's

541
00:39:20,435 --> 00:39:24,955
Speaker 1: about demonizing transgender athletes and transgender people. And what Pen

542
00:39:25,035 --> 00:39:29,275
Speaker 1: should do is respond to this bullshit by saying Trump

543
00:39:29,275 --> 00:39:31,995
Speaker 1: obtained his degree from their Wharton School of Business by

544
00:39:32,115 --> 00:39:35,195
Speaker 1: fraud and suing Trump for it for one hundred and

545
00:39:35,235 --> 00:39:38,195
Speaker 1: seventy five million dollars. And we'll see then how fast

546
00:39:38,195 --> 00:39:43,675
Speaker 1: he falls on his bullshit. Donald, I didn't obtain my

547
00:39:43,755 --> 00:39:46,795
Speaker 1: degree from Wharton at Penn by fraud. There was nothing

548
00:39:46,835 --> 00:39:55,195
Speaker 1: fraudulent about that money. Trump two days worse person in

549
00:39:55,555 --> 00:40:12,675
Speaker 1: the world, to the number one story on the Countdown,

550
00:40:12,715 --> 00:40:15,435
Speaker 1: and things I promised not to tell, which is now

551
00:40:16,355 --> 00:40:20,955
Speaker 1: our humorous relief from the day to day series of

552
00:40:21,075 --> 00:40:25,115
Speaker 1: nightmares from which we cannot wake. I saw something I

553
00:40:25,155 --> 00:40:28,035
Speaker 1: had literally not seen in years in New York the

554
00:40:28,075 --> 00:40:32,875
Speaker 1: other day, and it brought back a flood of extraordinary

555
00:40:32,915 --> 00:40:37,035
Speaker 1: memories that once weren't extraordinary at all. The thing I

556
00:40:37,155 --> 00:40:42,595
Speaker 1: saw was a telephone attached to some sort of piece

557
00:40:42,635 --> 00:40:46,795
Speaker 1: of metal, itself attached to some sort of pole like

558
00:40:47,315 --> 00:40:50,955
Speaker 1: support coming out of the ground. There was a little

559
00:40:51,075 --> 00:40:53,715
Speaker 1: hole at the top of this above the what was

560
00:40:53,755 --> 00:40:59,435
Speaker 1: it called receiver? That's right above the thing you the handset,

561
00:40:59,595 --> 00:41:02,395
Speaker 1: the thing you you put next to your ear and

562
00:41:02,475 --> 00:41:05,035
Speaker 1: talked into and listened to. There was a thing of it,

563
00:41:05,115 --> 00:41:08,675
Speaker 1: a hole in which you were supposed to put I

564
00:41:08,675 --> 00:41:14,555
Speaker 1: don't know, taffy. Oh, no, coins, that's what it was. Okay,

565
00:41:14,555 --> 00:41:19,555
Speaker 1: I'll stop. The number of memories that came flooding back

566
00:41:19,595 --> 00:41:25,035
Speaker 1: to me about this payphone started with an episode this

567
00:41:25,195 --> 00:41:32,395
Speaker 1: time of year, late spring, early summer, nineteen eighty eight,

568
00:41:32,675 --> 00:41:36,195
Speaker 1: eighty nine, ninety, maybe as late as nineteen ninety one,

569
00:41:36,755 --> 00:41:41,435
Speaker 1: when I emerged from Grand Central Station on an late spring,

570
00:41:41,515 --> 00:41:46,715
Speaker 1: early summer day visiting from Los Angeles, on my way

571
00:41:46,875 --> 00:41:51,315
Speaker 1: to see my folks, walked out of Grand Central Station

572
00:41:51,475 --> 00:41:56,675
Speaker 1: at midday, around noon onto forty second Street, and for

573
00:41:56,755 --> 00:41:59,995
Speaker 1: only the second time in my life, I saw the

574
00:42:00,035 --> 00:42:05,715
Speaker 1: pedestrian traffic of forty second Street stop and stare, and

575
00:42:05,795 --> 00:42:11,915
Speaker 1: they were staring at me because something inside the bag

576
00:42:12,075 --> 00:42:14,875
Speaker 1: I was carrying had made a noise and I had

577
00:42:14,915 --> 00:42:20,915
Speaker 1: reached in and picked it out and started talking, and

578
00:42:21,115 --> 00:42:26,795
Speaker 1: literally everybody stopped. I think you can guess what it was.

579
00:42:27,755 --> 00:42:30,475
Speaker 1: I think you need to hear the background first to

580
00:42:30,675 --> 00:42:37,955
Speaker 1: understand why it had that impact on people. The payphone

581
00:42:38,835 --> 00:42:41,955
Speaker 1: had been part of my life for as long as

582
00:42:41,955 --> 00:42:45,435
Speaker 1: I could remember. I used to call home from school

583
00:42:47,035 --> 00:42:49,835
Speaker 1: on a payphone at Hackley School in Tarrytown, New York,

584
00:42:50,235 --> 00:42:54,275
Speaker 1: to see and ask my mother if the mail had

585
00:42:54,315 --> 00:42:56,835
Speaker 1: come yet and the baseball cards I had ordered the

586
00:42:56,915 --> 00:42:59,995
Speaker 1: nineteen ten baseball cards were in the mail, so I

587
00:42:59,995 --> 00:43:02,475
Speaker 1: had something to look forward to when I got home,

588
00:43:02,595 --> 00:43:05,275
Speaker 1: something to get me through the rest of the day.

589
00:43:05,515 --> 00:43:10,795
Speaker 1: In school, as a reporter, I was part of near fistfights,

590
00:43:10,795 --> 00:43:14,155
Speaker 1: and actually once saw a fistfight between a news reporter

591
00:43:14,235 --> 00:43:17,395
Speaker 1: from the Westinghouse All News radio station in New York

592
00:43:17,715 --> 00:43:20,875
Speaker 1: wi INS and the CBS All News Radio station in

593
00:43:20,915 --> 00:43:24,475
Speaker 1: New York WCBS. I actually saw them come to shoving

594
00:43:24,715 --> 00:43:28,315
Speaker 1: and throwing punches. Happily they were radio people. They missed

595
00:43:29,475 --> 00:43:32,355
Speaker 1: over a payphone at a news story that I was

596
00:43:32,395 --> 00:43:36,395
Speaker 1: also covering. They had to get live on the air,

597
00:43:36,395 --> 00:43:39,275
Speaker 1: and that's how you did it. In nineteen seventy nine,

598
00:43:39,395 --> 00:43:44,315
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty, hell, in nineteen ninety, the number of times

599
00:43:45,395 --> 00:43:48,915
Speaker 1: the biggest task of the day from a story I

600
00:43:49,035 --> 00:43:52,035
Speaker 1: was covering in New York, primarily in radio, but even

601
00:43:52,115 --> 00:43:58,075
Speaker 1: later in television was the sprint first off, finding where

602
00:43:58,075 --> 00:44:02,195
Speaker 1: the payphones were outside the luncheon where the thing was

603
00:44:02,195 --> 00:44:05,835
Speaker 1: being announced, or outside the breaking news or on the street,

604
00:44:05,915 --> 00:44:08,275
Speaker 1: where was the nearest payphone, and then where was the

605
00:44:08,315 --> 00:44:11,635
Speaker 1: nearest payphone after that, in case there were six reporters

606
00:44:11,675 --> 00:44:15,955
Speaker 1: lined up for that payphone, and the sprint to it afterwards,

607
00:44:16,115 --> 00:44:18,715
Speaker 1: And could you leave the press conference before it was

608
00:44:18,755 --> 00:44:21,995
Speaker 1: officially over so you could get to the phone first.

609
00:44:22,195 --> 00:44:25,555
Speaker 1: That's the way it was. It wasn't just a convenience

610
00:44:25,595 --> 00:44:27,915
Speaker 1: of calling in as I did on my way to

611
00:44:27,955 --> 00:44:31,635
Speaker 1: the radio network every Saturday, and asking my fellow employees

612
00:44:31,675 --> 00:44:34,435
Speaker 1: at the RKAO Radio network in nineteen eighty one if

613
00:44:34,435 --> 00:44:37,635
Speaker 1: they wanted something, because I was stopping at Arby's and

614
00:44:37,675 --> 00:44:39,475
Speaker 1: I would bring in no drinks, but I'd bring in

615
00:44:39,515 --> 00:44:42,075
Speaker 1: all the burgers I could carry or whatever. This time

616
00:44:42,115 --> 00:44:45,035
Speaker 1: it was McDonald's one week and Burger came the next.

617
00:44:45,075 --> 00:44:47,675
Speaker 1: And the reason I did this was because there were

618
00:44:47,675 --> 00:44:51,075
Speaker 1: no restaurants open in Times Square on the weekend, so

619
00:44:51,115 --> 00:44:53,875
Speaker 1: they couldn't go anywhere nearer than a twenty minute walk

620
00:44:53,915 --> 00:44:58,715
Speaker 1: to get food. No restaurants open in Times Square, we

621
00:44:58,795 --> 00:45:01,955
Speaker 1: barely had electric light. In nineteen eighty one, everything was

622
00:45:01,995 --> 00:45:05,955
Speaker 1: in black and light. They hadn't invented color yet. Okay,

623
00:45:07,635 --> 00:45:09,715
Speaker 1: it had been with me a long time, and it

624
00:45:09,795 --> 00:45:13,435
Speaker 1: emerged later on in one of the great series of

625
00:45:13,595 --> 00:45:16,275
Speaker 1: practical jokes, one of which I was a victim of

626
00:45:17,795 --> 00:45:20,915
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty one, and I know nineteen eighty two,

627
00:45:20,995 --> 00:45:23,595
Speaker 1: at the football strike, I was covering it for CNN,

628
00:45:24,115 --> 00:45:27,035
Speaker 1: and I walked in once and sat down because I

629
00:45:27,075 --> 00:45:29,075
Speaker 1: wasn't going to have a camera crew for quite a while,

630
00:45:30,075 --> 00:45:32,555
Speaker 1: and found Ed Garvey, the head of the union, sitting

631
00:45:32,635 --> 00:45:36,155
Speaker 1: outside the press conference that was being conducted by Jack Donolin,

632
00:45:36,715 --> 00:45:41,155
Speaker 1: the Boston born guy who talked like that, the negotiator

633
00:45:41,315 --> 00:45:44,515
Speaker 1: for the National Football League, was holding a news conference,

634
00:45:44,515 --> 00:45:47,315
Speaker 1: and I sat outside with Ed because I already knew

635
00:45:47,315 --> 00:45:48,715
Speaker 1: what he was saying, and you could hear him through

636
00:45:48,755 --> 00:45:51,755
Speaker 1: the walls anyway. He had one of those voices, one

637
00:45:51,795 --> 00:45:57,835
Speaker 1: of those South station PA voices. Let's go baggin. So

638
00:45:58,235 --> 00:46:00,995
Speaker 1: Ed and I are talking, and out of nowhere, a

639
00:46:01,155 --> 00:46:04,675
Speaker 1: small woman with glasses appears, and so this, excuse me,

640
00:46:05,035 --> 00:46:07,835
Speaker 1: excuse me. My name is Jane Miller. I'm with CBS News.

641
00:46:08,035 --> 00:46:10,275
Speaker 1: Does either of you know where Ed Garvey, the head

642
00:46:10,275 --> 00:46:12,195
Speaker 1: of the Football Players Union is. I was told he

643
00:46:12,275 --> 00:46:16,155
Speaker 1: was going to be here. I was sitting with Ed Garvey.

644
00:46:16,635 --> 00:46:20,235
Speaker 1: We shot each other looks from behind our glasses and

645
00:46:20,275 --> 00:46:22,875
Speaker 1: I said, I haven't seen him, and Garvey went, I

646
00:46:22,915 --> 00:46:25,075
Speaker 1: don't know where that son of a bitch is. We

647
00:46:25,115 --> 00:46:27,675
Speaker 1: went on with Jane for quite a while and led

648
00:46:27,675 --> 00:46:30,115
Speaker 1: her quite a merry dance about how Garvey had left

649
00:46:30,115 --> 00:46:32,675
Speaker 1: for Washington. Oh, no, I just came from Washington. I'll

650
00:46:32,715 --> 00:46:34,795
Speaker 1: get fired if I don't get an interview with him.

651
00:46:34,955 --> 00:46:39,515
Speaker 1: And Garvey and I took turns calling Ed, calling Garvey

652
00:46:40,435 --> 00:46:43,555
Speaker 1: a liar, a manipulator, a thief, a crook, and a

653
00:46:43,675 --> 00:46:46,595
Speaker 1: drunk Ed added that part he's a drunk too, Did

654
00:46:46,595 --> 00:46:50,315
Speaker 1: you know that? Finally, something, and I don't remember what

655
00:46:50,355 --> 00:46:53,675
Speaker 1: it was, caused me to burst into laughter, and Ed said,

656
00:46:53,835 --> 00:46:57,235
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I couldn't resist. I'm Ed Garvey. How can

657
00:46:57,275 --> 00:47:00,995
Speaker 1: I help you. I'll give you an exclusive interview. So

658
00:47:01,075 --> 00:47:03,675
Speaker 1: it worked out well for Jane, and she forgave Ed

659
00:47:03,715 --> 00:47:08,915
Speaker 1: Garvey immediately. She did, not, however, forgive me. Several weeks later,

660
00:47:09,555 --> 00:47:12,035
Speaker 1: the talks in the Football Strike of nineteen eighty two

661
00:47:12,035 --> 00:47:17,155
Speaker 1: had moved to Hunt Valley, Maryland, Cockeysville if you wanted

662
00:47:17,155 --> 00:47:20,355
Speaker 1: to go by what it said on the map, fitting

663
00:47:20,555 --> 00:47:24,075
Speaker 1: a location for the football talks that went on and

664
00:47:24,115 --> 00:47:29,115
Speaker 1: on and on and on and on. Cockeysville, Maryland, the

665
00:47:29,195 --> 00:47:34,755
Speaker 1: Hunt Valley at Cockeysville. The number of potential mispronunciations and

666
00:47:34,835 --> 00:47:39,355
Speaker 1: slips on the air that I avoided using Cockeysville and

667
00:47:39,515 --> 00:47:44,315
Speaker 1: Hunt Valley, I lost count after the first two thousand.

668
00:47:45,875 --> 00:47:48,315
Speaker 1: I was on the phone with CNN doing an update

669
00:47:48,355 --> 00:47:51,355
Speaker 1: for the eleven o'clock News, the eleven o'clock sports cast

670
00:47:51,355 --> 00:47:54,475
Speaker 1: we used to do because I didn't have a camera crew,

671
00:47:54,955 --> 00:47:58,915
Speaker 1: a running theme of my days at CNN. Again, we

672
00:47:58,915 --> 00:48:00,955
Speaker 1: were out in the wilds of Maryland. It would be

673
00:48:00,995 --> 00:48:02,475
Speaker 1: a waste of a camera crew. To give me a

674
00:48:02,475 --> 00:48:05,115
Speaker 1: camera crew all the time. They would just stop when

675
00:48:05,195 --> 00:48:07,235
Speaker 1: they were within an hour of the place, and I

676
00:48:07,235 --> 00:48:09,595
Speaker 1: would do a stand up and hoped that my stand

677
00:48:09,675 --> 00:48:12,835
Speaker 1: up report would somehow hold until it appeared at eleven o'clock.

678
00:48:12,835 --> 00:48:15,595
Speaker 1: But that night something happened. We couldn't use the stand

679
00:48:15,675 --> 00:48:19,035
Speaker 1: up I had recorded eight hours previously, and so instead

680
00:48:19,795 --> 00:48:22,835
Speaker 1: I was on the phone on a payphone, and I'm

681
00:48:22,875 --> 00:48:25,515
Speaker 1: talking to Fred Hickman and Nick Charles, and I see

682
00:48:25,955 --> 00:48:30,955
Speaker 1: Jane Miller of CBS News still burning, seething with resentment

683
00:48:31,395 --> 00:48:34,315
Speaker 1: because of the joke I played on her. And I

684
00:48:34,475 --> 00:48:39,195
Speaker 1: was only half of that. Garvey was talking about himself

685
00:48:39,195 --> 00:48:42,115
Speaker 1: in the third person, pretending not to be him. I

686
00:48:42,235 --> 00:48:44,275
Speaker 1: was just going along with it. I may have started it.

687
00:48:46,195 --> 00:48:51,275
Speaker 1: Jane simply smiled at me realized from the monitor behind

688
00:48:51,315 --> 00:48:53,955
Speaker 1: the bar where we were all based at the Hunt

689
00:48:54,035 --> 00:48:57,315
Speaker 1: Valley Inn in Cockeysville, Maryland. She realized that I was

690
00:48:57,355 --> 00:49:00,915
Speaker 1: on the air live on that telephone, on that payphone,

691
00:49:01,035 --> 00:49:03,395
Speaker 1: because the monitor had a picture of me and it

692
00:49:03,475 --> 00:49:07,435
Speaker 1: said live on the phone from Cockeysville, Maryland at the

693
00:49:07,435 --> 00:49:13,995
Speaker 1: Football Talks CNN Sports Keith Olberman. So Jane very sweetly

694
00:49:14,075 --> 00:49:17,075
Speaker 1: smiled at me and reached over, and I didn't know

695
00:49:17,115 --> 00:49:20,115
Speaker 1: what she was going to do. She pressed the button

696
00:49:20,195 --> 00:49:24,235
Speaker 1: on top of the phone, and I was disconnected, right

697
00:49:24,235 --> 00:49:29,555
Speaker 1: in the middle of my live report on CNN. Payphones

698
00:49:30,875 --> 00:49:33,275
Speaker 1: may have been important to you at some point. If

699
00:49:33,275 --> 00:49:37,275
Speaker 1: you are old enough and understand now, you really need

700
00:49:37,315 --> 00:49:43,955
Speaker 1: to be at least forty five to have used a

701
00:49:43,995 --> 00:49:50,195
Speaker 1: payphone on a regular basis. Well, maybe maybe less than that,

702
00:49:50,235 --> 00:49:52,875
Speaker 1: but I think forty five is probably a good number,

703
00:49:53,355 --> 00:49:55,395
Speaker 1: and to have used it as an adult. To use

704
00:49:55,395 --> 00:49:59,355
Speaker 1: a payphone as an adult, I don't know the last

705
00:49:59,355 --> 00:50:03,035
Speaker 1: time I used one, maybe sometime around nineteen eighty seven

706
00:50:03,155 --> 00:50:07,235
Speaker 1: or eighty eight. There's one other professional concern though, my

707
00:50:07,315 --> 00:50:10,475
Speaker 1: point being that it's not just your use as a

708
00:50:10,515 --> 00:50:14,995
Speaker 1: person to call in an emergency or just call because

709
00:50:15,195 --> 00:50:17,235
Speaker 1: you're not home and you don't have a phone with you.

710
00:50:17,275 --> 00:50:18,955
Speaker 1: I mean, who's going to have a phone with them?

711
00:50:19,475 --> 00:50:25,315
Speaker 1: A hell of a long cord professionally. It also is

712
00:50:25,355 --> 00:50:27,395
Speaker 1: involved in one of the great blooper tapes of all

713
00:50:27,435 --> 00:50:31,715
Speaker 1: time when Pat summer All, the famous broadcaster, football announcer

714
00:50:31,795 --> 00:50:34,715
Speaker 1: and father of the chief of staff at the White

715
00:50:34,715 --> 00:50:40,075
Speaker 1: House that won't cost him any time in hell, Pat

716
00:50:40,155 --> 00:50:43,275
Speaker 1: summer All is on the phone live from Madison Square

717
00:50:43,315 --> 00:50:46,275
Speaker 1: Garden reporting on a basketball tournament in his role as

718
00:50:46,315 --> 00:50:50,835
Speaker 1: the first sports director of the Affirmation, aforementioned CBS all

719
00:50:50,915 --> 00:50:54,195
Speaker 1: news station in New York WCBS. Pat is on the

720
00:50:54,235 --> 00:50:57,195
Speaker 1: phone talking about the double header at Madison Square Garden,

721
00:50:57,195 --> 00:50:59,395
Speaker 1: which they used to have all the time, college basketball

722
00:50:59,435 --> 00:51:01,715
Speaker 1: being a big thing in those days in New York.

723
00:51:02,235 --> 00:51:04,595
Speaker 1: Pat Smarl is talking and suddenly you hear a hit

724
00:51:05,155 --> 00:51:08,755
Speaker 1: and a pre recorded voice of the universal operator, the

725
00:51:08,795 --> 00:51:12,635
Speaker 1: sweet voice of the woman going, pardon me for interrupting,

726
00:51:13,355 --> 00:51:18,635
Speaker 1: Please deposit ten cents for an additional two minutes, and

727
00:51:18,675 --> 00:51:21,915
Speaker 1: then the thing would go off. The recording stopped. The

728
00:51:21,955 --> 00:51:25,875
Speaker 1: anchorman burst into laughter. Pat Sumrall burst into laughter, and

729
00:51:25,955 --> 00:51:28,595
Speaker 1: he said, anyway, Columbia won the first game, and I'll

730
00:51:28,595 --> 00:51:32,035
Speaker 1: get back to your Harvey, and I'll say I'll get

731
00:51:32,035 --> 00:51:33,115
Speaker 1: back to you as soon as I can get the

732
00:51:33,155 --> 00:51:35,915
Speaker 1: operator off the phone. One of the great bloopers of

733
00:51:35,915 --> 00:51:37,795
Speaker 1: all time. And I did not do it justice. But

734
00:51:37,875 --> 00:51:40,755
Speaker 1: it's pretty funny if you remember what a payphone was.

735
00:51:42,155 --> 00:51:46,275
Speaker 1: So now my own experience in making the payphone a

736
00:51:46,355 --> 00:51:48,235
Speaker 1: thing of the past. And I don't know what my

737
00:51:48,395 --> 00:51:51,915
Speaker 1: role was in this. I did not invent cellular communications.

738
00:51:52,155 --> 00:51:54,515
Speaker 1: I did not invest in them when I had the

739
00:51:54,515 --> 00:51:59,155
Speaker 1: opportunity to do so. But there was that story about

740
00:51:59,155 --> 00:52:03,115
Speaker 1: me stopping traffic literally on forty second Street in eighty

741
00:52:03,115 --> 00:52:06,835
Speaker 1: eight or eighty nine or ninety And it started in

742
00:52:06,955 --> 00:52:10,195
Speaker 1: Palm Springs, California, in nineteen eighty six, my first year

743
00:52:10,755 --> 00:52:14,715
Speaker 1: covering the California Angels. Spring training. I did that for

744
00:52:14,875 --> 00:52:19,275
Speaker 1: my television station, which carried the Angels games, KTLA, but

745
00:52:19,355 --> 00:52:22,475
Speaker 1: I also did by that point the afternoon sports casts

746
00:52:22,515 --> 00:52:25,115
Speaker 1: on kN X Radio, the CBS all news radio station

747
00:52:25,195 --> 00:52:30,275
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, and to do these reports from Palm Springs,

748
00:52:30,355 --> 00:52:33,035
Speaker 1: I had two choices. I would cover the Angels game

749
00:52:33,195 --> 00:52:36,155
Speaker 1: for KTLA and then go and do my three or

750
00:52:36,155 --> 00:52:39,555
Speaker 1: four afternoon sports casts at four forty five, five fifteen,

751
00:52:39,715 --> 00:52:43,035
Speaker 1: five forty five, whatever the times were, and I would

752
00:52:43,155 --> 00:52:45,115
Speaker 1: either have to stay at the ballpark for a couple

753
00:52:45,115 --> 00:52:48,475
Speaker 1: of additional hours and do the reports from an empty

754
00:52:48,675 --> 00:52:53,595
Speaker 1: Angels stadium in Palm Springs with the leaf blowers going

755
00:52:53,635 --> 00:52:56,635
Speaker 1: in the background as they cleaned up all the debris

756
00:52:56,675 --> 00:53:00,235
Speaker 1: from everybody going to those games, so you can imagine

757
00:53:00,235 --> 00:53:03,475
Speaker 1: how much fun that was, and then finding my way

758
00:53:03,475 --> 00:53:05,475
Speaker 1: back to the hotel at some point point as it

759
00:53:05,555 --> 00:53:09,035
Speaker 1: started to get dark in March of nineteen eighty six,

760
00:53:10,595 --> 00:53:13,115
Speaker 1: or I could try to rush back to the hotel

761
00:53:13,195 --> 00:53:15,315
Speaker 1: room and do the reports from there, and if I

762
00:53:15,355 --> 00:53:18,155
Speaker 1: didn't make it, there wouldn't be a sportscast at four

763
00:53:18,315 --> 00:53:23,555
Speaker 1: forty five pm on KNX. So by nineteen eighty seven,

764
00:53:23,635 --> 00:53:26,315
Speaker 1: in anticipation of going and doing this again. I said

765
00:53:26,355 --> 00:53:29,515
Speaker 1: to my friend, the assistant news director of KNX, Roger Nadell,

766
00:53:30,155 --> 00:53:33,875
Speaker 1: what about using one of these new mobile phones? And

767
00:53:33,915 --> 00:53:36,675
Speaker 1: he went, what what do you mean mobile phones? Car phones?

768
00:53:37,235 --> 00:53:38,715
Speaker 1: You don't drive. How are you going to use a

769
00:53:38,715 --> 00:53:43,195
Speaker 1: car phone? I said, no, I saw something about them

770
00:53:43,195 --> 00:53:45,475
Speaker 1: in the news. They'll they'll rent you a phone and

771
00:53:45,675 --> 00:53:47,515
Speaker 1: it comes in a bag and you carry it with

772
00:53:47,595 --> 00:53:49,835
Speaker 1: you and you can just use it. You just have

773
00:53:49,875 --> 00:53:53,395
Speaker 1: to keep it charged. Well. Sure enough, he looked into

774
00:53:53,395 --> 00:53:56,075
Speaker 1: it and for a nominal fee for that time, I

775
00:53:56,075 --> 00:54:00,355
Speaker 1: don't know, five hundred dollars, they loaned us a big,

776
00:54:01,315 --> 00:54:05,795
Speaker 1: hulking phone that looked like it looked like a bowling

777
00:54:05,835 --> 00:54:08,675
Speaker 1: ball in a bowling ball bag. And the warning that

778
00:54:08,715 --> 00:54:11,115
Speaker 1: I got from Roger was don't let it sit in

779
00:54:11,155 --> 00:54:14,955
Speaker 1: the sun or it will start to smoke. Now we're

780
00:54:14,955 --> 00:54:17,435
Speaker 1: in Palm Springs, California, in March. There's a lot of sun,

781
00:54:17,475 --> 00:54:19,155
Speaker 1: so I had to be very careful about it. But

782
00:54:19,235 --> 00:54:21,955
Speaker 1: it was a wonder for all of the overheating on

783
00:54:21,995 --> 00:54:25,195
Speaker 1: all the need to recharge the thing for sixteen hours

784
00:54:25,195 --> 00:54:28,555
Speaker 1: a day, it eliminated all the problems I could do

785
00:54:28,635 --> 00:54:31,035
Speaker 1: the four to forty five sports cast from the ballpark

786
00:54:31,035 --> 00:54:33,635
Speaker 1: in Palm Springs, then get in the car and go

787
00:54:33,755 --> 00:54:35,675
Speaker 1: back to the hotel, or even walk back to the

788
00:54:35,675 --> 00:54:37,675
Speaker 1: hotel and do the five to fifteen sports cast from

789
00:54:37,675 --> 00:54:40,955
Speaker 1: the hotel. It was a wonder So when I got

790
00:54:41,035 --> 00:54:44,235
Speaker 1: back to Los Angeles in March of nineteen eighty seven

791
00:54:44,315 --> 00:54:46,435
Speaker 1: or early April of nineteen eighty seven, I began to

792
00:54:46,475 --> 00:54:52,275
Speaker 1: consider the possibility of buying a mobile phone. Los Angeles

793
00:54:52,355 --> 00:54:55,235
Speaker 1: was filled in those days. Every day there seemed to

794
00:54:55,235 --> 00:54:59,075
Speaker 1: be a new one with carphone stores. Car phones wants

795
00:54:59,115 --> 00:55:03,355
Speaker 1: the elite rich symbol of those who drove Bentley's, but

796
00:55:03,475 --> 00:55:08,635
Speaker 1: not mere Catillac. The car phone was becoming a regular thing,

797
00:55:09,195 --> 00:55:11,915
Speaker 1: and store after store opened, and the key thing was

798
00:55:11,915 --> 00:55:14,235
Speaker 1: they would not only sell you the phone, they would

799
00:55:14,235 --> 00:55:18,115
Speaker 1: install it, because of course a car phone needed a car.

800
00:55:18,435 --> 00:55:20,475
Speaker 1: Who's going to have a car phone without a car.

801
00:55:21,315 --> 00:55:25,475
Speaker 1: I went in and said could they work without a car?

802
00:55:26,355 --> 00:55:29,315
Speaker 1: And after the guy, the salesman stopped laughing at me,

803
00:55:31,195 --> 00:55:33,675
Speaker 1: he said, well, let me get the expert out, the

804
00:55:33,795 --> 00:55:36,075
Speaker 1: guy who installs them. Let me find out. And Larry

805
00:55:36,155 --> 00:55:39,235
Speaker 1: came out and Larry said, yeah, yeah, they could. I mean,

806
00:55:39,275 --> 00:55:41,595
Speaker 1: you have to keep it charged. But all the only

807
00:55:41,635 --> 00:55:44,875
Speaker 1: thing that we really do is put a bracket in

808
00:55:44,915 --> 00:55:47,475
Speaker 1: there so you can keep the phone on the dashboard

809
00:55:47,515 --> 00:55:51,995
Speaker 1: and have it permanently plugged into the cigarette lighter in

810
00:55:52,035 --> 00:55:56,035
Speaker 1: your dashboard. Something else that doesn't exist anymore. You could

811
00:55:56,155 --> 00:55:58,355
Speaker 1: there's a jack that allows you to plug it into

812
00:55:58,435 --> 00:56:01,395
Speaker 1: a wall socket. But why on earth would you want

813
00:56:01,395 --> 00:56:03,715
Speaker 1: a car phone without a car? I said, to carry

814
00:56:03,715 --> 00:56:07,115
Speaker 1: it around with me on st I'm a reporter. Well

815
00:56:07,115 --> 00:56:10,475
Speaker 1: that's a very specific use. Nobody'll ever carry around one

816
00:56:10,475 --> 00:56:14,235
Speaker 1: of these. They didn't see it either. Frankly, I saw

817
00:56:14,235 --> 00:56:16,235
Speaker 1: it for me and other reporters. I never thought it

818
00:56:16,235 --> 00:56:19,275
Speaker 1: would be a commonplace thing. I mean, the phone without

819
00:56:19,315 --> 00:56:22,995
Speaker 1: the car cost I don't know, fifteen hundred dollars. I

820
00:56:23,035 --> 00:56:25,595
Speaker 1: thought it was a great, great investment and a tax

821
00:56:25,675 --> 00:56:29,515
Speaker 1: deduction to boot, and so I bought it, and soon

822
00:56:29,595 --> 00:56:31,835
Speaker 1: I was going everywhere with it and talking to my

823
00:56:31,955 --> 00:56:35,795
Speaker 1: friends and calling my girlfriend on it, and calling into

824
00:56:35,835 --> 00:56:37,915
Speaker 1: the office to say I might be late, and calling

825
00:56:37,955 --> 00:56:39,995
Speaker 1: into the office to go on the radio or sometimes

826
00:56:40,075 --> 00:56:43,955
Speaker 1: the television. To the marvel of other reporters who said,

827
00:56:43,995 --> 00:56:45,555
Speaker 1: what are you doing with a car phone if you

828
00:56:45,595 --> 00:56:48,435
Speaker 1: don't have a car you don't even drive. I said, well,

829
00:56:48,435 --> 00:56:50,755
Speaker 1: that's what made me think of getting one without a car,

830
00:56:50,795 --> 00:56:55,275
Speaker 1: because I don't drive. Needless to say, by nineteen eighty eight,

831
00:56:55,435 --> 00:56:58,515
Speaker 1: the car phone was as attached to me as it

832
00:56:58,595 --> 00:57:01,875
Speaker 1: was to any car. In southern California, I was the

833
00:57:01,915 --> 00:57:04,995
Speaker 1: guy with the phone. You can always reach Keith wherever

834
00:57:05,035 --> 00:57:08,195
Speaker 1: he is. He's walking outside the Arby's here in Hollywood

835
00:57:09,075 --> 00:57:10,995
Speaker 1: if you want him to stop buy and get something

836
00:57:11,035 --> 00:57:13,795
Speaker 1: for you, like this was Times Square in nineteen eighty one.

837
00:57:13,955 --> 00:57:20,555
Speaker 1: He's probably passing Arby's right now. So the first time

838
00:57:20,595 --> 00:57:23,435
Speaker 1: I came to New York with a car phone a

839
00:57:23,555 --> 00:57:27,315
Speaker 1: mobile phone, nobody apparently had done this in New York.

840
00:57:27,675 --> 00:57:32,075
Speaker 1: And so I got off the train in Grand Central Station,

841
00:57:32,435 --> 00:57:35,595
Speaker 1: walked through it, and as I pushed passed through the

842
00:57:35,675 --> 00:57:42,715
Speaker 1: doors into the brilliant, humid suns rise of midday New York,

843
00:57:43,795 --> 00:57:49,995
Speaker 1: bustling with street traffic, hawkers of every possible item like

844
00:57:50,115 --> 00:57:56,195
Speaker 1: the streets of Marrakesh, the phone rang, and I reached

845
00:57:56,195 --> 00:57:58,235
Speaker 1: into my little shoulder bag and pulled it out and

846
00:57:58,235 --> 00:58:01,795
Speaker 1: went Hello, at which point about one hundred people on

847
00:58:01,875 --> 00:58:05,315
Speaker 1: the street on forty second Street froze, where they stood

848
00:58:05,755 --> 00:58:12,875
Speaker 1: and their jaws simultaneously dropped. If my pants had disappeared,

849
00:58:13,235 --> 00:58:17,555
Speaker 1: not been removed, but disappeared, vanished, and I was standing

850
00:58:17,595 --> 00:58:21,115
Speaker 1: there in my underwear, suddenly, they could not have been

851
00:58:21,115 --> 00:58:24,555
Speaker 1: more astonished. What is he doing? I heard someone say,

852
00:58:25,195 --> 00:58:27,675
Speaker 1: is it a walkie talkie? My god? What is it?

853
00:58:27,755 --> 00:58:32,475
Speaker 1: Is it a bomb? It was, in fact a wrong number,

854
00:58:32,835 --> 00:58:35,115
Speaker 1: and I hung up and looked around and literally did

855
00:58:35,155 --> 00:58:40,755
Speaker 1: one of those what moments. It's a phone. So my

856
00:58:40,875 --> 00:58:43,355
Speaker 1: trip wherever I was going was delayed by fifteen minutes,

857
00:58:43,395 --> 00:58:45,835
Speaker 1: as I explained to a series of passers by, and

858
00:58:45,955 --> 00:58:48,755
Speaker 1: New Yorkers are never as friendly as when they want

859
00:58:48,795 --> 00:58:52,275
Speaker 1: something from you. I say this as a New Yorker

860
00:58:52,315 --> 00:58:56,995
Speaker 1: who's done it himself. I had to explain to them

861
00:58:56,995 --> 00:58:59,035
Speaker 1: what it was. Why did you buy a car phone

862
00:58:59,075 --> 00:59:03,595
Speaker 1: without a car? That question dogged me until we began

863
00:59:03,675 --> 00:59:07,275
Speaker 1: to see the widespread use of cell phones in the

864
00:59:07,315 --> 00:59:13,755
Speaker 1: early nineties. I was the first, apparently, I was the

865
00:59:13,795 --> 00:59:16,315
Speaker 1: first person in the history of New York to publicly

866
00:59:16,395 --> 00:59:20,595
Speaker 1: answer a cell phone call. I should have written the

867
00:59:20,675 --> 00:59:23,995
Speaker 1: date down. I don't have that record anywhere. It's too bad.

868
00:59:24,275 --> 00:59:27,555
Speaker 1: It was as historic an event as the invention of

869
00:59:27,595 --> 00:59:31,275
Speaker 1: the telephone or the installation of electric light in New

870
00:59:31,355 --> 00:59:39,235
Speaker 1: York City. And it was my phone. And I'm sure

871
00:59:39,275 --> 00:59:46,475
Speaker 1: within minutes I passed a payphone on forty second Street

872
00:59:47,355 --> 00:59:52,555
Speaker 1: and I did not hear that as I passed it

873
00:59:52,595 --> 00:59:55,075
Speaker 1: with my cell phone in my hand. I did not

874
00:59:55,235 --> 01:00:03,115
Speaker 1: hear the payphone that knew what it portended, the payphone

875
01:00:03,315 --> 01:00:23,875
Speaker 1: that was silently weeping. I've done all the damage I

876
01:00:23,875 --> 01:00:26,115
Speaker 1: can do here, including making up that last part. But

877
01:00:26,155 --> 01:00:28,515
Speaker 1: it's a wow finish, wasn't it. Thank you for listening.

878
01:00:28,995 --> 01:00:32,755
Speaker 1: Brian Ray and John Phillip Shanelle, the musical directors have Countdown, arranged,

885
01:00:56,755 --> 01:00:58,795
Speaker 1: The whole thing with the cell phone was so long

886
01:00:58,835 --> 01:01:04,675
Speaker 1: ago that it was contemporaneous with ESPN making its second

887
01:01:04,915 --> 01:01:11,035
Speaker 1: job offer to me, I only accepted the third one anyway.

01:01:42,155 --> 01:01:45,155
Speaker 1: work now, it will win the Democrats the midterms, and

898
01:01:45,195 --> 01:01:48,755
Speaker 1: the polling suggests they could win the all the midterms. Also,

899
01:01:48,835 --> 01:01:52,115
Speaker 1: I want polling on a presidential recall vote. Let's put
