1 00:00:04,795 --> 00:00:24,275 Speaker 1: Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. What 2 00:00:24,835 --> 00:00:29,715 Speaker 1: is the exact nature of Donald Trump's health crisis? Is 3 00:00:29,715 --> 00:00:35,715 Speaker 1: he dying? Is he well? Is he sick? Is he fine? 4 00:00:36,875 --> 00:00:41,075 Speaker 1: Is there some acceptable explanation for his swollen face and 5 00:00:41,275 --> 00:00:46,355 Speaker 1: narrowed eyes, last shown publicly on Friday? And what does 6 00:00:46,635 --> 00:00:50,715 Speaker 1: the enlarged left hand mean? And what does the bruised 7 00:00:50,795 --> 00:00:55,595 Speaker 1: right hand covered in makeup mean? And are those ballooned 8 00:00:55,875 --> 00:01:00,675 Speaker 1: and gorged ankles as benign as claimed by his latest doctor, 9 00:01:01,395 --> 00:01:06,755 Speaker 1: Captain Barbarabella. Is the President of the United States, whoever 10 00:01:06,835 --> 00:01:09,395 Speaker 1: he is, whatever we think of him, the most important 11 00:01:09,395 --> 00:01:12,515 Speaker 1: man in the world. Is the President of the United States? 12 00:01:12,595 --> 00:01:18,035 Speaker 1: Gravely ill? Would they tell us if he were? Would 13 00:01:18,075 --> 00:01:26,275 Speaker 1: they tell him? No? It's all just chronic veinous insufficiency. 14 00:01:28,275 --> 00:01:32,315 Speaker 1: And behind these questions, these literally life and death questions, 15 00:01:32,595 --> 00:01:36,955 Speaker 1: why is the national news media still giving the clear decline, 16 00:01:37,555 --> 00:01:42,555 Speaker 1: the accelerating decline in Trump's appearance and clarity, and likely 17 00:01:42,595 --> 00:01:46,515 Speaker 1: in his physical health, less attention than they are giving 18 00:01:46,675 --> 00:01:51,995 Speaker 1: right now to the irrelevancy that is Biden's cognition levels 19 00:01:52,155 --> 00:01:58,115 Speaker 1: from last year lost in the Trump's Stein cover up. 20 00:01:58,275 --> 00:02:03,355 Speaker 1: The Gallaine Maxwell hostage video, Trump's planned terrorism in Chicago, 21 00:02:03,755 --> 00:02:06,955 Speaker 1: the John Bolt raid. Lost in all that, Trump on 22 00:02:07,035 --> 00:02:09,835 Speaker 1: Friday looked like he had just changed out of a 23 00:02:09,875 --> 00:02:14,315 Speaker 1: hospital gown. Face so puffy even for him, that his 24 00:02:14,435 --> 00:02:19,475 Speaker 1: eyes looked like slits, barely open. Right hand with a contusion, 25 00:02:19,715 --> 00:02:22,235 Speaker 1: some sort of clear tape on it, but it could 26 00:02:22,235 --> 00:02:25,475 Speaker 1: have been traces of blood near the fingers, running from 27 00:02:25,515 --> 00:02:28,595 Speaker 1: the thumb through the middle finger and then up under 28 00:02:28,595 --> 00:02:34,315 Speaker 1: the shirt sleeve, badly covered in smeared makeup. That was 29 00:02:34,355 --> 00:02:37,675 Speaker 1: the right hand. The left hand so swollen it looked 30 00:02:37,715 --> 00:02:41,075 Speaker 1: like something they would draw for a cartoon character. The 31 00:02:41,115 --> 00:02:44,795 Speaker 1: base of those fingers forty or fifty percent larger than 32 00:02:44,835 --> 00:02:47,915 Speaker 1: the ends of those fingers, and his ability to use 33 00:02:47,995 --> 00:02:52,355 Speaker 1: that hand clearly impaired enough to make him hesitate as 34 00:02:52,395 --> 00:02:57,235 Speaker 1: he turned a photograph around. And we didn't see the 35 00:02:57,275 --> 00:03:00,395 Speaker 1: ankles this time. We saw them when he was in 36 00:03:00,435 --> 00:03:04,035 Speaker 1: Alaska with Putin, and they were wider than his feet. 37 00:03:06,155 --> 00:03:08,635 Speaker 1: It's not like this is something new. Middle of July, 38 00:03:08,915 --> 00:03:11,755 Speaker 1: a bruise on his hand, some kind of sticker or 39 00:03:11,875 --> 00:03:16,475 Speaker 1: tape on it, makeup atop bat, too much handshaking, the 40 00:03:16,515 --> 00:03:19,355 Speaker 1: White House said, knowing that no one from a major 41 00:03:19,395 --> 00:03:23,555 Speaker 1: news organization would even imply that this was a ridiculous 42 00:03:23,795 --> 00:03:28,395 Speaker 1: and insulting excuse that was more transparent than whatever they 43 00:03:28,395 --> 00:03:31,515 Speaker 1: had put on his hand after they detached what must 44 00:03:31,515 --> 00:03:33,755 Speaker 1: have been a line for a blood draw or an 45 00:03:33,795 --> 00:03:36,635 Speaker 1: ivy or a transfusion or something else in which the 46 00:03:36,715 --> 00:03:39,515 Speaker 1: veins on the top of the hand are accessed because 47 00:03:39,515 --> 00:03:41,755 Speaker 1: the ones at the inside of the wrist or the 48 00:03:41,795 --> 00:03:47,275 Speaker 1: elbow can't be isolated or are insufficient. And then it 49 00:03:47,355 --> 00:03:50,915 Speaker 1: was the middle of February, meeting with Emmanuel Macron. Same hand, 50 00:03:51,235 --> 00:03:58,475 Speaker 1: same plastic cover up, same makeup, same journalistic indifference. In 51 00:03:58,595 --> 00:04:03,195 Speaker 1: his first term, Donald Trump lied about everything health wise 52 00:04:03,235 --> 00:04:06,555 Speaker 1: from a COVID infection and serious enough that his physicians 53 00:04:06,595 --> 00:04:10,875 Speaker 1: were ready to ventilate him to a routine colonoscopy that 54 00:04:10,955 --> 00:04:13,235 Speaker 1: he didn't want revealed so he would not have to 55 00:04:13,315 --> 00:04:19,355 Speaker 1: transfer presidential power, even temporarily to Mike Pence. For a 56 00:04:19,355 --> 00:04:22,035 Speaker 1: couple of hours, the President of the United States was 57 00:04:22,155 --> 00:04:28,915 Speaker 1: unconscious with a rubber hose up his ass. Actually, that's 58 00:04:28,955 --> 00:04:34,355 Speaker 1: an improvement. His personal physician before the first election made 59 00:04:34,355 --> 00:04:36,955 Speaker 1: a statement insisting that Trump might as well have been immortal. 60 00:04:38,235 --> 00:04:43,035 Speaker 1: He later admitted Trump dictated that statement. Trump lies about 61 00:04:43,035 --> 00:04:46,675 Speaker 1: everything else. He and those around him lied blatantly and 62 00:04:46,715 --> 00:04:50,435 Speaker 1: almost nonchalantly about his health once when his life was imperiled. 63 00:04:51,515 --> 00:04:54,795 Speaker 1: We didn't get answered about the shooting last year for hours. 64 00:04:54,915 --> 00:04:57,315 Speaker 1: We still haven't gotten most of the answers about the shooting. 65 00:04:58,795 --> 00:05:01,955 Speaker 1: So there is a history of deceit on this topic, 66 00:05:01,995 --> 00:05:04,115 Speaker 1: and there is also a history of bad health. And 67 00:05:04,235 --> 00:05:07,835 Speaker 1: nobody he is asking these questions ahead of all the others. 68 00:05:08,915 --> 00:05:13,795 Speaker 1: What is the exact nature of Trump's health crisis? Why 69 00:05:14,115 --> 00:05:20,195 Speaker 1: can't he fully open his effing eyes? What is wrong 70 00:05:20,275 --> 00:05:24,115 Speaker 1: with him? Is it circulatory? Is it cardiac? Is he 71 00:05:24,155 --> 00:05:26,875 Speaker 1: getting enough blood to his brain, or maybe more correctly, 72 00:05:26,955 --> 00:05:28,955 Speaker 1: is he getting even less blood to his brain than 73 00:05:28,995 --> 00:05:31,675 Speaker 1: he has for the last seventy years? Is he dying? 74 00:05:33,395 --> 00:05:36,955 Speaker 1: Is he in fact in heart failure? Is his condition, 75 00:05:37,075 --> 00:05:42,675 Speaker 1: whatever it is, manageable or is it debilitating? Is he 76 00:05:42,755 --> 00:05:48,515 Speaker 1: debilitated right now? Is whatever going on the cause of 77 00:05:48,555 --> 00:05:56,435 Speaker 1: Trump's cognitive loss? Or is that something separate seventy nine 78 00:05:56,555 --> 00:05:59,035 Speaker 1: years of age? This could be anything. It could be 79 00:05:59,315 --> 00:06:05,755 Speaker 1: chronic venus insufficiency plus something else in one hand and 80 00:06:05,875 --> 00:06:09,755 Speaker 1: the need for IVS or blood jaws from the other hand, 81 00:06:09,995 --> 00:06:14,235 Speaker 1: and a face swollen enough to forcibly close his eyes. 82 00:06:16,475 --> 00:06:19,115 Speaker 1: But anybody who has seen congestive heart failure in a 83 00:06:19,195 --> 00:06:22,315 Speaker 1: relative or friend knows that none of this, especially the 84 00:06:22,395 --> 00:06:28,315 Speaker 1: swelling at the extremities, is inconsistent with that diagnosis. But 85 00:06:28,435 --> 00:06:30,875 Speaker 1: the point is The New York Times tried to break 86 00:06:31,075 --> 00:06:33,475 Speaker 1: Joe Biden a year ago because he would not prove 87 00:06:33,595 --> 00:06:38,275 Speaker 1: to them he wasn't slowed. Where is the Times musing? 88 00:06:38,715 --> 00:06:43,275 Speaker 1: Are Trump's quadruple excised ankles and hands healthy in this 89 00:06:43,315 --> 00:06:49,155 Speaker 1: Ohio diner? These cardiologists don't think so. Where's the Washington 90 00:06:49,235 --> 00:06:53,795 Speaker 1: Posts sidebar nestled behind? It's now constant praising Trump with 91 00:06:53,955 --> 00:06:57,355 Speaker 1: faint damnation about his lower legs, looking like he was 92 00:06:57,395 --> 00:07:02,955 Speaker 1: preparing to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Where is the Jake Tapper 93 00:07:03,195 --> 00:07:11,275 Speaker 1: instant book? What is the exact nature of the President's 94 00:07:11,675 --> 00:07:23,755 Speaker 1: health crisis? Would they tell us? Would they tell him? 95 00:07:23,795 --> 00:07:54,115 Speaker 1: Would he believe them? Trump's latest terrorist invasion is now planned. 96 00:07:54,155 --> 00:07:58,195 Speaker 1: It is of Chicago, a couple thousand Red State National 97 00:07:58,275 --> 00:08:02,515 Speaker 1: guardsmen and or active troops. This is about the Governor 98 00:08:02,555 --> 00:08:06,515 Speaker 1: of Illinois, JB. Pritzker, Just like La and Ice and 99 00:08:06,555 --> 00:08:10,115 Speaker 1: the illegal usurpation of the California National Guard was about 100 00:08:10,115 --> 00:08:14,195 Speaker 1: the Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, just like DC was 101 00:08:14,235 --> 00:08:17,715 Speaker 1: about an entire democratic government led by a mayor who 102 00:08:17,755 --> 00:08:20,835 Speaker 1: responded to the first attack against her and her city 103 00:08:21,035 --> 00:08:23,995 Speaker 1: with the stupid assertion that maybe there was a silver lining, 104 00:08:25,155 --> 00:08:28,915 Speaker 1: which served only to show Trump her vulnerability. Just like 105 00:08:28,995 --> 00:08:32,875 Speaker 1: New York, when it comes, will be about Zoran Mamdani, 106 00:08:33,115 --> 00:08:35,595 Speaker 1: either to screw up his election or to give him 107 00:08:35,595 --> 00:08:39,315 Speaker 1: a crisis on his first day as mayor. This is 108 00:08:39,395 --> 00:08:45,395 Speaker 1: all designed now to dirty up Key Democrats and to 109 00:08:45,475 --> 00:08:48,235 Speaker 1: show the fascist cult that he will do it, and 110 00:08:48,315 --> 00:08:50,715 Speaker 1: to warn his opponents that he will do it, and 111 00:08:50,795 --> 00:08:53,555 Speaker 1: to dare somebody to stop him. And guess what, nobody 112 00:08:53,675 --> 00:08:59,115 Speaker 1: is stopping him. Fake a crisis, build a giant, dangerous 113 00:08:59,155 --> 00:09:02,395 Speaker 1: photo op out of threats of terrorist violence by the government, 114 00:09:02,795 --> 00:09:05,675 Speaker 1: then later say things were so bad in Illinois, I 115 00:09:06,275 --> 00:09:12,075 Speaker 1: your savior had to step in. It is the complete 116 00:09:12,315 --> 00:09:16,235 Speaker 1: road map on how to turn a democracy into a dictatorship. 117 00:09:18,115 --> 00:09:21,275 Speaker 1: Trump using troops and federalizing the National Guard and fabricating 118 00:09:21,315 --> 00:09:27,395 Speaker 1: an emergency is unconstitutional. It is a sweeping violation of 119 00:09:27,435 --> 00:09:31,715 Speaker 1: the possecommatatis Act, it is not a Title thirty two 120 00:09:31,875 --> 00:09:36,635 Speaker 1: exception to section five oh two pertinent to the Possecommatatis Act. 121 00:09:38,315 --> 00:09:40,795 Speaker 1: Title thirty two allows a president to let the federal 122 00:09:40,835 --> 00:09:46,435 Speaker 1: government pay for the more extensive training of state National 123 00:09:46,475 --> 00:09:50,955 Speaker 1: guardsmen so the states don't have to pay. It does 124 00:09:50,995 --> 00:09:54,395 Speaker 1: not let him do this, and the insistence that there 125 00:09:54,435 --> 00:09:57,275 Speaker 1: is precedent for Trump doing it, that it's a well 126 00:09:57,435 --> 00:10:02,595 Speaker 1: established precedence that dates all the way back to twenty twenty, 127 00:10:03,355 --> 00:10:06,435 Speaker 1: when Trump gassed protesters outside the White House so he 128 00:10:06,475 --> 00:10:09,035 Speaker 1: could pose with the first Bible he had ever held 129 00:10:09,235 --> 00:10:12,395 Speaker 1: at a church he'd never been inside. In other words, 130 00:10:12,955 --> 00:10:15,755 Speaker 1: building a photo off out of threats of terrorist violence 131 00:10:15,755 --> 00:10:17,755 Speaker 1: by the government, and then later saying things were so 132 00:10:17,835 --> 00:10:22,515 Speaker 1: bad during the Black Lives protests, I your savior had 133 00:10:22,515 --> 00:10:28,995 Speaker 1: to step in. That's what Chicago will be. That's what 134 00:10:29,035 --> 00:10:32,515 Speaker 1: the new side threats against Mayor Bowser are. Mayor Muriel 135 00:10:32,515 --> 00:10:36,115 Speaker 1: Bowser must immediately stop giving false and highly inaccurate crime 136 00:10:36,155 --> 00:10:41,475 Speaker 1: figures where bad things will happen. What are you gonna do, asshole? 137 00:10:41,715 --> 00:10:46,475 Speaker 1: Have her hit by lightning? The response to this none. 138 00:10:47,555 --> 00:10:50,355 Speaker 1: The response you must give a creature like Trump, who, 139 00:10:50,395 --> 00:10:54,155 Speaker 1: at his peak at his best is a psychonic narcissist. 140 00:10:54,635 --> 00:11:00,675 Speaker 1: The response must be hey, old man, f you, and 141 00:11:00,715 --> 00:11:04,155 Speaker 1: she still won't do that. So now on Friday he 142 00:11:04,195 --> 00:11:07,235 Speaker 1: comes back another threat to quote, get her act straight, 143 00:11:07,555 --> 00:11:10,795 Speaker 1: or she won't be mayor very long because we'll take 144 00:11:10,835 --> 00:11:19,315 Speaker 1: it over the hell you will. The threats against the 145 00:11:19,315 --> 00:11:23,995 Speaker 1: mayor of the nation's capital city are mirrored now by 146 00:11:24,035 --> 00:11:27,715 Speaker 1: threats against the state of Colorado. Not the governor, not 147 00:11:27,955 --> 00:11:33,715 Speaker 1: a mayor, there everybody in Colorado unless they release from 148 00:11:33,715 --> 00:11:38,235 Speaker 1: prison the corrupt county clerk Tina Peters, who let election 149 00:11:38,355 --> 00:11:42,635 Speaker 1: deniers have access to the actual Colorado state voting equipment 150 00:11:43,755 --> 00:11:46,675 Speaker 1: and got her ass sentenced to nine years in jail. 151 00:11:48,395 --> 00:11:51,675 Speaker 1: Trump is now demanding she be freed. Quote. If she 152 00:11:51,835 --> 00:11:55,675 Speaker 1: is not released, I am going to take harsh measures again. 153 00:11:57,235 --> 00:12:00,795 Speaker 1: He did this the sitting president because a she was 154 00:12:00,835 --> 00:12:04,235 Speaker 1: convicted on state charges, so he cannot pardon yet another 155 00:12:04,315 --> 00:12:08,275 Speaker 1: in soer directionist. And b because after the election, the 156 00:12:08,315 --> 00:12:13,195 Speaker 1: governor of Colorado, Jared Polis, tried to appease Trump, and 157 00:12:13,275 --> 00:12:16,715 Speaker 1: as mayor, Bowser just discovered you do not flinch when 158 00:12:16,715 --> 00:12:18,955 Speaker 1: he does something like this. If you flinch, he will 159 00:12:18,995 --> 00:12:21,795 Speaker 1: be back for more from you. You do not flinch. 160 00:12:21,995 --> 00:12:25,035 Speaker 1: You kick him in the nuts. The son of a 161 00:12:25,075 --> 00:12:30,155 Speaker 1: bitch threatened the Commissioner of Baseball yesterday, because the Commissioner 162 00:12:30,155 --> 00:12:33,755 Speaker 1: of Baseball has not put statutory rapist Pete Rose in 163 00:12:33,795 --> 00:12:36,795 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame yet, and now Trump also wants 164 00:12:36,875 --> 00:12:39,515 Speaker 1: Roger Clemens in the Hall of Fame, presumably in the 165 00:12:39,555 --> 00:12:44,355 Speaker 1: same wing, even though the Commissioner of Baseball does not 166 00:12:44,435 --> 00:12:46,715 Speaker 1: decide who goes into the Baseball Hall of Fame, and 167 00:12:46,755 --> 00:12:48,875 Speaker 1: there has not been a Baseball Hall of Fame vote 168 00:12:48,995 --> 00:12:52,955 Speaker 1: since Trump made his demand about Pete Rose, but the 169 00:12:52,995 --> 00:12:55,875 Speaker 1: Commissioner has not said no to Trump as long as 170 00:12:55,915 --> 00:12:59,475 Speaker 1: Trump has been going to games, going to games using 171 00:12:59,555 --> 00:13:03,515 Speaker 1: free tickets, I might add, supplied to him by the 172 00:13:03,515 --> 00:13:11,555 Speaker 1: New York Yankees, because billionaires can't afford baseball tickets. The 173 00:13:11,635 --> 00:13:15,035 Speaker 1: threats Trump carries out are against the individuals and entities 174 00:13:15,075 --> 00:13:18,355 Speaker 1: that do not fight back. When I say fight back, 175 00:13:18,435 --> 00:13:23,435 Speaker 1: I don't mean destroy him, usurp him. They don't have 176 00:13:23,515 --> 00:13:26,115 Speaker 1: to destroy him, they don't have to depose him, they 177 00:13:26,115 --> 00:13:28,115 Speaker 1: don't have to damage him. They just have to say no, 178 00:13:29,315 --> 00:13:33,195 Speaker 1: and he goes away because it's easier to find somebody 179 00:13:33,195 --> 00:13:37,635 Speaker 1: over in the next county who won't say no. The 180 00:13:37,675 --> 00:13:41,915 Speaker 1: Pentagon's Internal Intelligence Agency did not say no. It issued 181 00:13:41,955 --> 00:13:45,755 Speaker 1: its assessment of Trump's photo op attack on Iranian nuclear facilities. 182 00:13:45,875 --> 00:13:50,475 Speaker 1: It correctly said those facilities were not obliterated. He criticized them, 183 00:13:50,755 --> 00:13:53,955 Speaker 1: they did nothing. He has now purged the head of 184 00:13:53,995 --> 00:13:59,555 Speaker 1: the intelligence agency and two other veteran a political military 185 00:13:59,595 --> 00:14:04,915 Speaker 1: leaders who did not fight back. That's what the jets 186 00:14:04,955 --> 00:14:08,635 Speaker 1: are about. That's why Trump is stalling for Putin on Ukraine. 187 00:14:09,115 --> 00:14:11,915 Speaker 1: Change your position one hundred times and give Putin two 188 00:14:11,915 --> 00:14:16,595 Speaker 1: weeks to respond to each new position, and two times 189 00:14:16,635 --> 00:14:22,835 Speaker 1: to claim four years will pass. Send out your eyeliner 190 00:14:22,915 --> 00:14:27,715 Speaker 1: to buffoon JV vance to explain on meet the press 191 00:14:27,875 --> 00:14:31,315 Speaker 1: and not be challenged that. Of course, Zelenski has to negotiate. 192 00:14:31,435 --> 00:14:35,435 Speaker 1: All wars end in negotiation. World War two ended in negotiation. 193 00:14:35,795 --> 00:14:39,235 Speaker 1: Oh you remember that, right, Hitler and Mussolini and Tojo 194 00:14:39,795 --> 00:14:44,555 Speaker 1: meeting with FDR and Truman, just before Hitler killed himself 195 00:14:44,595 --> 00:14:47,995 Speaker 1: and they burned his body, just before they hung Mussolini 196 00:14:48,075 --> 00:14:51,915 Speaker 1: upside down from an s O filling station, and just 197 00:14:51,955 --> 00:14:59,795 Speaker 1: before they dropped two nukes on Tojo. Those were negotiations. 198 00:15:02,595 --> 00:15:05,075 Speaker 1: That's why they are going to the mats with killmar 199 00:15:05,195 --> 00:15:09,075 Speaker 1: Abrado Garcia. First he had to be out of the 200 00:15:09,075 --> 00:15:12,115 Speaker 1: country immediately a terrorist threat. Then he had to be 201 00:15:12,155 --> 00:15:16,435 Speaker 1: returned to the country immediately to stand trial. Now that 202 00:15:16,515 --> 00:15:18,675 Speaker 1: a court has ruled that he cannot be kidnapped and 203 00:15:18,715 --> 00:15:22,795 Speaker 1: disappeared to l Salvador and he can go free on bail, 204 00:15:22,835 --> 00:15:25,315 Speaker 1: Suddenly they had threatened to deport him again, this time 205 00:15:25,315 --> 00:15:31,755 Speaker 1: to Uganda unless he accepts deportation to Costa Rica. And 206 00:15:32,635 --> 00:15:34,555 Speaker 1: what happened to the part about how he had to 207 00:15:34,595 --> 00:15:38,515 Speaker 1: be returned here immediately to stand trial on all those 208 00:15:38,555 --> 00:15:44,515 Speaker 1: things they said he did. They're willing to lie, to 209 00:15:44,595 --> 00:15:47,435 Speaker 1: destroy this man, to destroy his family, to destroy the law. 210 00:15:48,755 --> 00:15:51,555 Speaker 1: They're willing to change their own story, change it again, 211 00:15:51,675 --> 00:15:55,235 Speaker 1: change it a third time, blackmail this man. All because 212 00:15:55,275 --> 00:16:00,195 Speaker 1: Trump cannot be wrong, cannot be challenged, cannot be seen 213 00:16:00,235 --> 00:16:04,635 Speaker 1: as anything but omniscient and omnipotent, and also can I 214 00:16:04,795 --> 00:16:07,795 Speaker 1: be seen as so sick that he can't fully open 215 00:16:07,835 --> 00:16:13,555 Speaker 1: his own damned eyes. Trump has become convinced that he 216 00:16:13,595 --> 00:16:18,115 Speaker 1: gets to decide everything and that everything you have is 217 00:16:18,155 --> 00:16:23,435 Speaker 1: a gift from him. Stock market went up. He did that, 218 00:16:24,075 --> 00:16:27,475 Speaker 1: stock market went down Well fears that he wasn't in 219 00:16:27,515 --> 00:16:32,715 Speaker 1: sufficient control of the stock market. This is not just 220 00:16:32,835 --> 00:16:37,395 Speaker 1: evil and insane and probably exacerbated by serious, profound physical illness. 221 00:16:37,955 --> 00:16:43,715 Speaker 1: It is messianic. And a Messianic dictator would start a 222 00:16:43,795 --> 00:16:50,595 Speaker 1: nuclear war and destroy everything rather than be found out, 223 00:16:51,395 --> 00:16:57,835 Speaker 1: rather than be proved evil by something like whatever is 224 00:16:57,875 --> 00:17:10,075 Speaker 1: in the Epstein files, the Epstein files which apparently were 225 00:17:10,155 --> 00:17:19,195 Speaker 1: hidden in John Bolton's pants, in John Bolton's house or 226 00:17:19,355 --> 00:17:23,515 Speaker 1: John Bolton's house, is that where they're transferring Glaine Maxwell next. 227 00:17:25,435 --> 00:17:29,155 Speaker 1: Every step that Trump's criminal conspiracy posing as a government 228 00:17:29,715 --> 00:17:32,835 Speaker 1: tries to hide the truth makes his cover up even 229 00:17:32,875 --> 00:17:35,795 Speaker 1: more important than whatever it is he is trying to 230 00:17:35,835 --> 00:17:38,835 Speaker 1: cover up, and boys he trying to cover it up. 231 00:17:41,395 --> 00:17:44,475 Speaker 1: And so you do not have to rank highly knowing 232 00:17:44,515 --> 00:17:47,715 Speaker 1: the truth about the organized perversions and crimes of Epstein 233 00:17:47,795 --> 00:17:51,355 Speaker 1: and Maxwell and Trump's involvement or non involvement to actually 234 00:17:51,395 --> 00:17:55,795 Speaker 1: care about the cover up, but to believe that Trump's 235 00:17:55,795 --> 00:18:00,715 Speaker 1: Stein is somehow resolved or Trump's somehow cleared by what 236 00:18:00,835 --> 00:18:07,115 Speaker 1: is almost literally a hostage video by Glaine Maxwell, proven liar, 237 00:18:08,515 --> 00:18:15,475 Speaker 1: proven child sex trafficker, to believe that she has somehow 238 00:18:15,555 --> 00:18:18,235 Speaker 1: cleared him as a corner of MAGA, and nearly all 239 00:18:18,355 --> 00:18:21,395 Speaker 1: of the Republican Party now says it does believe. Is 240 00:18:21,435 --> 00:18:25,035 Speaker 1: to say, in essence, sure Glene Maxwell is a liar, 241 00:18:25,875 --> 00:18:28,395 Speaker 1: and sure I AM going to pick and choose which 242 00:18:28,395 --> 00:18:31,995 Speaker 1: of her seven hundred and fifty lies I believe and 243 00:18:32,075 --> 00:18:34,115 Speaker 1: which seven hundred and forty nine of them I do 244 00:18:34,195 --> 00:18:40,035 Speaker 1: not believe. They believe her when she lies to the 245 00:18:40,075 --> 00:18:42,955 Speaker 1: Deputy Attorney General, who eight months ago was still Trump's 246 00:18:42,995 --> 00:18:45,835 Speaker 1: personal lawyer, that Trump never did anything wrong in her 247 00:18:45,875 --> 00:18:50,675 Speaker 1: presence and was always a gentleman. Do they believe her 248 00:18:50,715 --> 00:18:53,195 Speaker 1: when she lies to him that Epstein did not kill 249 00:18:53,275 --> 00:18:57,595 Speaker 1: himself in prison? Do they believe her when she lies 250 00:18:57,635 --> 00:19:00,155 Speaker 1: to him that there was no client list or black 251 00:19:00,195 --> 00:19:03,235 Speaker 1: book or records? Do they believe her when she says 252 00:19:03,235 --> 00:19:07,075 Speaker 1: that a picture of herself, Virginia Geffrey, and Prince Andrew 253 00:19:07,155 --> 00:19:12,035 Speaker 1: is a fake?

It was 330 00:25:18,835 --> 00:25:21,835 Speaker 1: so bad that players were threatened with being banned for 331 00:25:22,075 --> 00:25:26,675 Speaker 1: life if they did not read these Special Instructions, then 332 00:25:26,835 --> 00:25:30,675 Speaker 1: sign a document saying they had read them and would 333 00:25:30,715 --> 00:25:34,355 Speaker 1: obey them, and then give the document back Because there 334 00:25:34,355 --> 00:25:38,115 Speaker 1: were so many curse words printed in it that technically 335 00:25:38,475 --> 00:25:43,955 Speaker 1: the Instructions to Players was considered legally obscene, and anybody 336 00:25:43,955 --> 00:25:46,515 Speaker 1: who tried to send it by the US Post Office 337 00:25:46,555 --> 00:25:51,515 Speaker 1: would be arrested next as we do a crossover between 338 00:25:51,555 --> 00:25:57,275 Speaker 1: Sportsball Center and Things I promised not to tell. I 339 00:25:57,315 --> 00:26:00,555 Speaker 1: don't think you'll believe this was real. For a long time, 340 00:26:01,035 --> 00:26:07,475 Speaker 1: baseball historians didn't think. So that's how bad it really is. 341 00:26:09,115 --> 00:26:11,115 Speaker 1: First believe it or not, there's still more new idiots 342 00:26:11,155 --> 00:26:14,075 Speaker 1: to talk about. The roundup of the miscrants, the morons, 343 00:26:14,115 --> 00:26:17,875 Speaker 1: and the Dunning Kruger effects specimens who constitute today's other 344 00:26:18,715 --> 00:26:30,955 Speaker 1: worst persons in the effing world. Lebron's worse Blondie, Pam Blondie. 345 00:26:31,395 --> 00:26:35,155 Speaker 1: It's not just that she is evil and without morals 346 00:26:35,275 --> 00:26:37,915 Speaker 1: and she should be the one being deported to some 347 00:26:38,035 --> 00:26:42,475 Speaker 1: other planet. It's not just that she was the backup 348 00:26:42,595 --> 00:26:48,595 Speaker 1: choice when they couldn't get that grunge Matt Gates past 349 00:26:48,755 --> 00:26:53,715 Speaker 1: the Grunge Magas. It's not just that her previous biggest 350 00:26:53,755 --> 00:26:57,875 Speaker 1: case was putting the baseball player Dwight Gooden behind bars 351 00:26:58,195 --> 00:27:01,915 Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks. It's not just that she's 352 00:27:01,915 --> 00:27:05,355 Speaker 1: incompetent at her job. It's not just that she sounds 353 00:27:05,635 --> 00:27:09,075 Speaker 1: like a guy trying to do an impersonation of a woman. 354 00:27:09,355 --> 00:27:12,635 Speaker 1: It's not just all of those things it's also that 355 00:27:12,715 --> 00:27:18,675 Speaker 1: she is a complete idiot. In one of her occasional 356 00:27:18,675 --> 00:27:23,155 Speaker 1: appearances on Fox News, and by occasional iamine, she was 357 00:27:23,195 --> 00:27:26,915 Speaker 1: once on something like seventeen consecutive week nights as the 358 00:27:26,955 --> 00:27:30,355 Speaker 1: Attorney General of the United States. In one of her 359 00:27:30,395 --> 00:27:35,435 Speaker 1: occasional appearances last week, she decided to praise Trump. While 360 00:27:35,515 --> 00:27:40,315 Speaker 1: that's a shock. She decided to praise Trump and this occupation, 361 00:27:40,635 --> 00:27:45,675 Speaker 1: this illegal terrorism against the residents of the District of Columbia. 362 00:27:45,715 --> 00:27:50,235 Speaker 1: And she decided to praise the members of the National 363 00:27:50,235 --> 00:27:56,315 Speaker 1: Guard who have been illegally turned into super cops, robocops, 364 00:27:56,475 --> 00:28:00,275 Speaker 1: cops with military grade weapons being carried around on the 365 00:28:00,275 --> 00:28:04,435 Speaker 1: streets of Washington, which was a city improving in terms 366 00:28:04,475 --> 00:28:09,915 Speaker 1: of its criminality and its ordinary downtown issues. And of course, 367 00:28:09,955 --> 00:28:12,955 Speaker 1: they didn't send any of the members of the military 368 00:28:13,075 --> 00:28:16,035 Speaker 1: to the troublesome areas where all the crimes are committed, 369 00:28:16,595 --> 00:28:20,035 Speaker 1: like say, the White House. They sent them to places 370 00:28:20,075 --> 00:28:24,395 Speaker 1: where the public and visitors would see who was in 371 00:28:24,515 --> 00:28:30,715 Speaker 1: charge in this dictatorship. So Pambondi decided to praise them 372 00:28:30,755 --> 00:28:34,355 Speaker 1: on Fox News and she said, quote, the Metro Dade 373 00:28:34,475 --> 00:28:38,595 Speaker 1: police are over the moon that they have this help 374 00:28:38,795 --> 00:28:44,875 Speaker 1: from the President the Metro Dade Police, and there isn't 375 00:28:44,915 --> 00:28:47,315 Speaker 1: really such an outfit, but if there were, they would 376 00:28:47,355 --> 00:28:51,915 Speaker 1: be in Metro Dade, in Dade County, which is part 377 00:28:51,955 --> 00:28:56,235 Speaker 1: of the municipality we know as Miami. Metro Daid police 378 00:28:56,275 --> 00:28:59,435 Speaker 1: would be in Florida, which is where Pambondy used to 379 00:28:59,435 --> 00:29:02,355 Speaker 1: be until she became Attorney General of the United States 380 00:29:02,395 --> 00:29:06,955 Speaker 1: in January. It is now late August. She should have 381 00:29:07,195 --> 00:29:12,915 Speaker 1: some idea where she is. She doesn't. She thinks she's 382 00:29:12,915 --> 00:29:17,795 Speaker 1: still in Miami, or possibly she thinks that Miami and Washington, 383 00:29:17,875 --> 00:29:23,755 Speaker 1: DC are the same place. That's the Attorney General of 384 00:29:23,835 --> 00:29:29,035 Speaker 1: the United States of America. A bozo. Speaking of which 385 00:29:29,035 --> 00:29:31,915 Speaker 1: the runner up worser, Winnie Greco, part of the Eric 386 00:29:31,995 --> 00:29:34,315 Speaker 1: Adams gang that has been running this city into the 387 00:29:34,355 --> 00:29:40,355 Speaker 1: ground since Bill Deblasio finished running this city into the ground. Sure, 388 00:29:40,475 --> 00:29:43,835 Speaker 1: bring on Cromo. Now we need somebody worse than the 389 00:29:43,875 --> 00:29:47,635 Speaker 1: two of them combined. Ms Greco was at one point 390 00:29:47,755 --> 00:29:50,675 Speaker 1: Adam's top advisor and had a city hall job worth 391 00:29:50,675 --> 00:29:53,395 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand a year, and then she got fired 392 00:29:53,475 --> 00:29:55,235 Speaker 1: or she quit or something and got a new job 393 00:29:55,275 --> 00:29:57,395 Speaker 1: at city Hall worth two hundred thousand dollars a year. 394 00:29:57,595 --> 00:30:00,355 Speaker 1: She didn't have that anymore, but she remains connected to 395 00:30:00,915 --> 00:30:04,995 Speaker 1: Adams's inexplicable campaign to get re elected as a post 396 00:30:05,035 --> 00:30:08,675 Speaker 1: to finishing fourth maybe third in the election if he's lucky. 397 00:30:09,435 --> 00:30:13,835 Speaker 1: Ms Greco is in trouble again. Now. She is not 398 00:30:14,035 --> 00:30:17,395 Speaker 1: the mayor Adams advisor who was indicted and purp walked 399 00:30:17,475 --> 00:30:21,075 Speaker 1: last week. That was somebody else. Nor the donors those 400 00:30:21,115 --> 00:30:23,635 Speaker 1: were other people. Nor the fundraiser that was somebody else. 401 00:30:24,115 --> 00:30:29,995 Speaker 1: This is the Adams confidant accused of seeking cash to 402 00:30:30,115 --> 00:30:32,995 Speaker 1: get in to see Adams and also living in a 403 00:30:33,075 --> 00:30:35,355 Speaker 1: suite at a hotel that the city was supposed to 404 00:30:35,355 --> 00:30:40,075 Speaker 1: be using to help x cons transition back to regular life. No, no, no, no, 405 00:30:40,195 --> 00:30:43,955 Speaker 1: you actually have to be a convicted criminal to live here. 406 00:30:45,035 --> 00:30:48,155 Speaker 1: Ms Greco is of Asian descent, and that is relevant 407 00:30:48,155 --> 00:30:52,195 Speaker 1: only because that's how she explains what the New York 408 00:30:52,235 --> 00:30:55,675 Speaker 1: news site The City has reported about her, and what 409 00:30:55,715 --> 00:30:59,955 Speaker 1: the city has reported is quote that she attempted to 410 00:30:59,995 --> 00:31:03,035 Speaker 1: give money to a reporter from the city following a 411 00:31:03,035 --> 00:31:08,315 Speaker 1: campaign event in Harlem last Wednesday. The failed payoff a 412 00:31:08,355 --> 00:31:11,635 Speaker 1: wad of cash in a red envelope stuffed inside an 413 00:31:11,675 --> 00:31:16,715 Speaker 1: opened bag of Hers sour cream and onion ripple potato chips. 414 00:31:18,515 --> 00:31:21,875 Speaker 1: Greco and the reporter, Katie Honan, walked to the Whole 415 00:31:21,915 --> 00:31:25,075 Speaker 1: Food's next door. While inside the store, Greco handed Honan 416 00:31:25,235 --> 00:31:29,195 Speaker 1: the opened bag of chips with the top crumpled closed. Honan, 417 00:31:29,235 --> 00:31:31,795 Speaker 1: thinking it was an offer of a light snack, told 418 00:31:31,875 --> 00:31:34,315 Speaker 1: Greko more than once she could not accept the chips, 419 00:31:34,555 --> 00:31:38,075 Speaker 1: but Greko insisted that she keep them. The two parted 420 00:31:38,115 --> 00:31:41,755 Speaker 1: ways before entering a nearby subway station. Honan opened the 421 00:31:41,755 --> 00:31:45,635 Speaker 1: bag and discovered a red envelope inside stuffed with cash, 422 00:31:45,955 --> 00:31:49,115 Speaker 1: at least one one hundred dollar bill and several twenty 423 00:31:49,155 --> 00:31:52,395 Speaker 1: dollars bills. The reporter then called Greco and told her 424 00:31:52,475 --> 00:31:54,635 Speaker 1: she could not accept the money and asked if she 425 00:31:54,715 --> 00:31:57,595 Speaker 1: was still nearby so she could give it back. Greco 426 00:31:57,675 --> 00:32:00,555 Speaker 1: said she'd left the area. Honan told her she had 427 00:32:00,595 --> 00:32:02,515 Speaker 1: to take the money back, and Greco said they could 428 00:32:02,515 --> 00:32:06,235 Speaker 1: meet at some point in Chinatown. In an interview later, 429 00:32:06,555 --> 00:32:10,195 Speaker 1: the City asked Greco what her intention was in handing 430 00:32:10,315 --> 00:32:14,835 Speaker 1: money to the reporter. In response, she said she'd made 431 00:32:14,915 --> 00:32:19,475 Speaker 1: a mistake and apologized over and over. I make a mistake, 432 00:32:19,595 --> 00:32:22,835 Speaker 1: she said, I'm so sorry. It's a culture thing. I 433 00:32:22,875 --> 00:32:26,395 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't understand. I'm so sorry. I feel 434 00:32:26,395 --> 00:32:30,595 Speaker 1: so bad right now. I'm so sorry, honey. She then 435 00:32:30,675 --> 00:32:33,795 Speaker 1: called the city back, advising that we call her attorney, 436 00:32:33,875 --> 00:32:37,755 Speaker 1: Stephen Brill, and adding can we forget about this. I 437 00:32:37,875 --> 00:32:42,075 Speaker 1: try to be a good person. Please please, please don't 438 00:32:42,115 --> 00:32:46,395 Speaker 1: do in the news nothing about me. I just wanted 439 00:32:46,395 --> 00:32:49,715 Speaker 1: to be her friend. Greco added, I just wanted to 440 00:32:49,755 --> 00:32:56,995 Speaker 1: have one good friend. It's nothing. Ms Greco claims this 441 00:32:57,155 --> 00:33:00,715 Speaker 1: is the Asian way of being friends, giving people money 442 00:33:01,355 --> 00:33:05,675 Speaker 1: in envelopes stuffed into bags of hers sounder cream and onion, 443 00:33:05,755 --> 00:33:10,475 Speaker 1: rippled potato chips, or less cringy conveyances of food. And 444 00:33:10,515 --> 00:33:12,555 Speaker 1: of course, she has coined a new phrase to go 445 00:33:12,675 --> 00:33:15,475 Speaker 1: right next to WinCE. Please don't put in the newspaper 446 00:33:15,515 --> 00:33:18,715 Speaker 1: that I got it mad quoting it again. Please don't 447 00:33:18,755 --> 00:33:22,115 Speaker 1: do in the news nothing about me. But of course 448 00:33:22,235 --> 00:33:28,675 Speaker 1: Wint is a comedy writer. Ms Greco is not, we think. 449 00:33:29,835 --> 00:33:35,555 Speaker 1: Please don't do nothing in the news about me. I'm 450 00:33:35,555 --> 00:33:38,155 Speaker 1: sorry I misquoted it. Please don't do in the news 451 00:33:38,795 --> 00:33:42,195 Speaker 1: nothing about me. I actually cleaned the quote up. Please 452 00:33:42,235 --> 00:33:46,595 Speaker 1: don't do in the news. Nothing about me sounds like 453 00:33:46,635 --> 00:33:51,235 Speaker 1: a song lyric, doesn't it. But the winner is the worst. 454 00:33:51,275 --> 00:33:56,875 Speaker 1: Speaking of food, the cracker barrel protesters if you somehow 455 00:33:56,915 --> 00:34:04,195 Speaker 1: missed this, congratulations. I was last week years old as 456 00:34:04,195 --> 00:34:06,715 Speaker 1: the kids when I discovered that this was not about 457 00:34:07,075 --> 00:34:11,635 Speaker 1: craft cracker barrel cheese, which they've been selling since before 458 00:34:11,675 --> 00:34:15,715 Speaker 1: I was born, but instead it's about a series of 459 00:34:15,795 --> 00:34:20,395 Speaker 1: restaurants founded much later than cracker barrel Cheese, founded in 460 00:34:20,475 --> 00:34:25,035 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty nine. And the mag Assholes are self martyring 461 00:34:25,075 --> 00:34:28,675 Speaker 1: again because the company changed its logo from an old 462 00:34:28,755 --> 00:34:32,275 Speaker 1: white guy in overalls in an old timey chair leaning 463 00:34:32,275 --> 00:34:35,955 Speaker 1: against a barrel next to the words cracker barrel. They've 464 00:34:36,035 --> 00:34:39,675 Speaker 1: changed that logo to just the words cracker barrel in 465 00:34:39,755 --> 00:34:43,755 Speaker 1: the same font and everything. The right wing thinks this 466 00:34:43,955 --> 00:34:48,235 Speaker 1: is woke and that the liberals are getting away with 467 00:34:48,275 --> 00:34:53,395 Speaker 1: something again like the Genes ad with the actress Sydney 468 00:34:53,555 --> 00:34:57,195 Speaker 1: somebody like this is the most important issue in the 469 00:34:57,235 --> 00:35:00,675 Speaker 1: world and everybody is concerned about it, and it's like 470 00:35:01,435 --> 00:35:07,675 Speaker 1: cracker barrel cheese. Restaurants they sell just cracker barrel cheese. 471 00:35:08,275 --> 00:35:11,035 Speaker 1: There's a series of restaurants in the South. I don't know. 472 00:35:11,075 --> 00:35:12,675 Speaker 1: I haven't been to one. I'm not in the South. 473 00:35:13,195 --> 00:35:16,435 Speaker 1: That's nice. I don't expect you to know the difference 474 00:35:16,435 --> 00:35:20,915 Speaker 1: between the f train and the seven Cracker barrel. Holy crap, 475 00:35:20,955 --> 00:35:24,235 Speaker 1: the company literally removed the guy and just you have 476 00:35:24,315 --> 00:35:28,275 Speaker 1: to visualize the logo. If the barrel in the Cracker 477 00:35:28,275 --> 00:35:31,955 Speaker 1: Barrel logo is the barrel, then the guy is, by 478 00:35:32,035 --> 00:35:37,355 Speaker 1: process of elimination, the Cracker. I don't know if the 479 00:35:37,435 --> 00:35:41,235 Speaker 1: actual Crackers know this, but Cracker has always been a 480 00:35:41,395 --> 00:35:47,075 Speaker 1: nickname for stupid white folks from the South. It's not 481 00:35:47,155 --> 00:35:51,035 Speaker 1: a compliment. It's so not a compliment that even the 482 00:35:51,115 --> 00:35:54,795 Speaker 1: Atlanta baseball team got rid of it as their nickname 483 00:35:55,475 --> 00:35:58,515 Speaker 1: before Atlanta got rid of much of its racism, in fact, 484 00:35:58,595 --> 00:36:05,515 Speaker 1: before Cracker Barrel Restaurants debuted. So the company, after fifty 485 00:36:05,515 --> 00:36:08,515 Speaker 1: six years, removed the part of the logo that was 486 00:36:08,595 --> 00:36:11,715 Speaker 1: the white equivalent of a minstrel show guy in blackface. 487 00:36:12,195 --> 00:36:15,635 Speaker 1: And the white guys are all kill them about it. 488 00:36:16,195 --> 00:36:22,275 Speaker 1: I swear I thought this was about cheese. It's about 489 00:36:22,315 --> 00:36:26,435 Speaker 1: their demand that we continue to call them crackers, white 490 00:36:26,475 --> 00:36:33,235 Speaker 1: trash o fays honkys. I mean, it's as if somebody 491 00:36:33,275 --> 00:36:37,715 Speaker 1: has removed all the mirrors from their world. On the 492 00:36:37,755 --> 00:36:40,395 Speaker 1: one hand, this should be a lesson to all food 493 00:36:40,435 --> 00:36:47,635 Speaker 1: and food service companies whose clientele tend to be well crackers, maga. 494 00:36:48,155 --> 00:36:51,075 Speaker 1: Whatever your product is, don't worry about it. Just change 495 00:36:51,075 --> 00:36:54,555 Speaker 1: your name to something that insults them, something that insults 496 00:36:54,875 --> 00:37:00,235 Speaker 1: your customers. Literally, waffle House should change its name to 497 00:37:01,875 --> 00:37:09,155 Speaker 1: Luftwaffa House or luftwaffle House. Any KFC south of say Kentucky, 498 00:37:09,435 --> 00:37:13,595 Speaker 1: don't bother with restoring the Kentucky Fried Chicken name or 499 00:37:13,595 --> 00:37:16,875 Speaker 1: the picture of the kernel or anything. Go directly to 500 00:37:17,755 --> 00:37:24,395 Speaker 1: Honky Fried Chicken. The waste management corporation you operate in 501 00:37:24,435 --> 00:37:29,235 Speaker 1: the South, you must therefore call yourself there White trash Management. 502 00:37:29,875 --> 00:37:34,315 Speaker 1: It's so simple. Just adopt a name insulting these people. 503 00:37:34,755 --> 00:37:37,475 Speaker 1: Then cut back on the quality of the food you 504 00:37:37,595 --> 00:37:41,875 Speaker 1: sell or the service you provide, raise the prices, reduce 505 00:37:41,955 --> 00:37:45,555 Speaker 1: the portion size, start making the waffles out of cardboard. 506 00:37:46,995 --> 00:37:51,475 Speaker 1: Just use a racist name by cracker, insulting white people, 507 00:37:51,795 --> 00:37:55,635 Speaker 1: and put some character out of the background and background 508 00:37:55,675 --> 00:37:58,555 Speaker 1: of gone with the Wind in your logo, and your 509 00:37:58,595 --> 00:38:03,395 Speaker 1: profits will double overnight because these people's minds are gone. 510 00:38:04,075 --> 00:38:08,155 Speaker 1: Hello Food's turble but it says Cracker on the outside. 511 00:38:08,195 --> 00:38:13,515 Speaker 1: So we come here, which reminds me there actually was 512 00:38:13,675 --> 00:38:17,195 Speaker 1: somebody to get the award for worst person in the 513 00:38:17,195 --> 00:38:22,595 Speaker 1: world today. This is a Twitter x count called Florida Possum. 514 00:38:22,995 --> 00:38:26,715 Speaker 1: And this I've heard the word but I've never tried 515 00:38:26,715 --> 00:38:30,795 Speaker 1: to spell it before. Award vibe is strong enough that 516 00:38:30,835 --> 00:38:33,795 Speaker 1: it could belong to Caroline Levitt. That's how dumb this 517 00:38:33,835 --> 00:38:39,475 Speaker 1: person is. Are you ready from at Florida Possum? I 518 00:38:39,635 --> 00:38:41,915 Speaker 1: have been going to Cracker Barrel for as long as 519 00:38:41,915 --> 00:38:45,355 Speaker 1: I can remember, well, that could be last week. Pal, 520 00:38:45,875 --> 00:38:49,515 Speaker 1: First you painted over the antique. Look now you've ruined 521 00:38:49,555 --> 00:38:53,195 Speaker 1: your logo. As much as I love Cracker Barrel and 522 00:38:53,315 --> 00:39:03,715 Speaker 1: as frequently as I have gone, you've ruined your ambulance. Ah, 523 00:39:03,835 --> 00:39:07,955 Speaker 1: I'll just cook it home. Farewell, my friend, r Ip, 524 00:39:09,875 --> 00:39:16,675 Speaker 1: you've ruined your ambulance. I am hoping they were going 525 00:39:16,795 --> 00:39:23,635 Speaker 1: for ambiance. We're given this stupidity. Maybe the guy meant ambient. 526 00:39:25,115 --> 00:39:28,875 Speaker 1: Maybe that's the explanation. I'm not knowing the difference between 527 00:39:28,915 --> 00:39:33,595 Speaker 1: ambiance and ambulance. And again, the lesson here is clear. 528 00:39:35,275 --> 00:39:38,075 Speaker 1: Trump should have taught us. This should have taught every 529 00:39:38,075 --> 00:39:41,915 Speaker 1: company in the world should have taught cracker barrel. No, no, no, 530 00:39:41,915 --> 00:39:45,155 Speaker 1: no no, don't don't take the cracker out of the 531 00:39:45,235 --> 00:39:49,035 Speaker 1: white the cracker barrel logo. Put two of them in 532 00:39:49,075 --> 00:39:55,795 Speaker 1: there and rename it white Cracker Barrel. The Rubes don't 533 00:39:55,835 --> 00:39:59,595 Speaker 1: care if the food is good, only if it insults 534 00:39:59,635 --> 00:40:08,275 Speaker 1: them but recognizes their red neckatude, Florida possum. You ruined 535 00:40:08,315 --> 00:40:13,035 Speaker 1: your ambulance account on Twitter x and Elon should change 536 00:40:13,075 --> 00:40:16,555 Speaker 1: the name of that again and call it Peckerwood Social 537 00:40:17,395 --> 00:40:23,155 Speaker 1: Today's other worst person and the world. 538 00:40:57,795 --> 00:41:04,075 Speaker 2: This is sports Center. Wait, check that not anymore. This 539 00:41:05,035 --> 00:41:12,635 Speaker 2: is Countdown with Keith Ulberman in sports Ball Center. Well, 540 00:41:12,675 --> 00:41:15,275 Speaker 2: this is a combination of sports Ball Center and the 541 00:41:15,315 --> 00:41:17,675 Speaker 2: things I promised not to tell. And every once in 542 00:41:17,755 --> 00:41:20,115 Speaker 2: a while I like to bring this out and show 543 00:41:20,195 --> 00:41:23,955 Speaker 2: to people that this document actually exists, as I referred 544 00:41:23,955 --> 00:41:27,195 Speaker 2: to it earlier, the greatest document in the history of 545 00:41:27,235 --> 00:41:30,915 Speaker 2: the English language. In I believe the year two thousand 546 00:41:30,915 --> 00:41:35,755 Speaker 2: and seven, two of these appeared. Their small white envelope 547 00:41:35,875 --> 00:41:41,995 Speaker 2: sized printed messages from it was claimed eighteen ninety five 548 00:41:42,195 --> 00:41:46,075 Speaker 2: six seven eight something like that. That were instructions, as 549 00:41:46,115 --> 00:41:49,515 Speaker 2: the heading printed in somewhat old timey but not too 550 00:41:49,595 --> 00:41:56,435 Speaker 2: old timey type suggests special instructions players. The item was 551 00:41:56,515 --> 00:41:59,675 Speaker 2: auctioned off two copies of it, one in basically mint 552 00:41:59,675 --> 00:42:03,235 Speaker 2: condition and the other with tape on it, and sold 553 00:42:03,475 --> 00:42:08,155 Speaker 2: as the last or perhaps two of the last surviving 554 00:42:08,275 --> 00:42:12,075 Speaker 2: copies of a document that was given to each player 555 00:42:12,315 --> 00:42:15,355 Speaker 2: in the National League when that was all there was 556 00:42:15,435 --> 00:42:18,795 Speaker 2: in baseball, and they were asked to read it and 557 00:42:18,955 --> 00:42:21,835 Speaker 2: give it back. And that's why so few copies of 558 00:42:21,875 --> 00:42:24,835 Speaker 2: this exist. And it was in part of a dark 559 00:42:25,035 --> 00:42:28,475 Speaker 2: corner of baseball and sports history, and more importantly, part 560 00:42:28,515 --> 00:42:31,355 Speaker 2: of a dark corner in American history where all the 561 00:42:31,435 --> 00:42:35,635 Speaker 2: good stuff fell or was hidden, or was dropped or 562 00:42:35,715 --> 00:42:38,435 Speaker 2: was put under a pile of things by somebody who 563 00:42:38,475 --> 00:42:41,395 Speaker 2: then died, and it wasn't discovered for another one hundred 564 00:42:41,435 --> 00:42:45,275 Speaker 2: and ten years. It is so improbable, it is so 565 00:42:45,915 --> 00:42:53,035 Speaker 2: gorgeous in its obscenity, that initially collectors and baseball historians 566 00:42:53,275 --> 00:42:56,475 Speaker 2: said it could not be real. It must be a 567 00:42:56,675 --> 00:43:02,075 Speaker 2: satire produced at some point after say, nineteen seventy, possibly recently, 568 00:43:02,315 --> 00:43:05,395 Speaker 2: and just made to look somewhat aged, and it doesn't 569 00:43:05,475 --> 00:43:06,435 Speaker 2: look that old. 570 00:43:06,515 --> 00:43:10,435 Speaker 1: It could have been printed recently and kind of aged up, 571 00:43:10,555 --> 00:43:13,955 Speaker 1: dirtied up to look a little bit older. And then 572 00:43:14,035 --> 00:43:18,355 Speaker 1: I found in the Spaulding Baseball Guide for the year 573 00:43:18,475 --> 00:43:22,035 Speaker 1: eighteen ninety nine, I think a reference to the fact 574 00:43:22,035 --> 00:43:27,195 Speaker 1: that there had been special instructions to players produced by 575 00:43:27,275 --> 00:43:30,755 Speaker 1: a special committee that had been convened by the National 576 00:43:30,795 --> 00:43:35,555 Speaker 1: League to address an extraordinary problem that threatened the future 577 00:43:35,555 --> 00:43:42,195 Speaker 1: of baseball. Swearing by players, swearing by players at other players, 578 00:43:42,235 --> 00:43:48,035 Speaker 1: at umpires, at owners, and especially at fans. And there 579 00:43:48,235 --> 00:43:52,755 Speaker 1: was a story told about what happened to the players 580 00:43:52,795 --> 00:43:56,155 Speaker 1: who did this, and how bad it was, and how 581 00:43:56,355 --> 00:43:59,715 Speaker 1: many extraordinary things had to be done to stop it. 582 00:44:01,235 --> 00:44:03,555 Speaker 1: But I have teased you long enough. I will tell 583 00:44:03,595 --> 00:44:05,555 Speaker 1: that part of the story after I read to you 584 00:44:06,795 --> 00:44:14,035 Speaker 1: with some words skipped the special instructions to players. This 585 00:44:14,235 --> 00:44:18,635 Speaker 1: is legitimate, It has been verified, It actually existed, and 586 00:44:18,675 --> 00:44:25,355 Speaker 1: the problem existed. And it is magnificent and brings the 587 00:44:25,435 --> 00:44:30,035 Speaker 1: nineteenth century, not just of baseball but of America alive 588 00:44:30,355 --> 00:44:33,395 Speaker 1: in a way nothing else does. When I first read this, 589 00:44:35,675 --> 00:44:40,515 Speaker 1: the men of the nineteenth century who played baseball became 590 00:44:40,755 --> 00:44:46,115 Speaker 1: living figures for me, no longer just ancient yellowed CPA 591 00:44:46,235 --> 00:44:50,435 Speaker 1: photographs of players with bats swinging at baseballs that were 592 00:44:50,475 --> 00:44:54,115 Speaker 1: hanging from the photographer's ceiling by a string that you 593 00:44:54,155 --> 00:44:59,075 Speaker 1: could see. Oh no, they were men of flesh and 594 00:44:59,155 --> 00:45:06,155 Speaker 1: blood and a vocabulary of obscenity that would made Andrew 595 00:45:06,315 --> 00:45:19,035 Speaker 1: dice Clay rethink his life special instructions to players. In 596 00:45:19,075 --> 00:45:22,955 Speaker 1: a contest between two leading clubs during the championship season 597 00:45:22,995 --> 00:45:26,995 Speaker 1: of eighteen ninety seven, the stands being crowded with patrons 598 00:45:27,035 --> 00:45:30,115 Speaker 1: of the game, a gentleman occupying a seat in the 599 00:45:30,115 --> 00:45:33,155 Speaker 1: front row near the player's bench asked one of the 600 00:45:33,275 --> 00:45:37,035 Speaker 1: visiting players who was going to pitch for them. The 601 00:45:37,115 --> 00:45:41,435 Speaker 1: player made no reply. He then asked a second time. 602 00:45:41,915 --> 00:45:45,155 Speaker 1: The gentleman, his wife, who sat with him, and others 603 00:45:45,195 --> 00:45:49,915 Speaker 1: of both sexes within hearing distance, were outraged upon hearing 604 00:45:49,955 --> 00:45:55,955 Speaker 1: the player reply in a loud, brutal tone, oh go 605 00:45:56,595 --> 00:46:03,275 Speaker 1: f yourself. On being remonstrated with by his fellow players, 606 00:46:03,515 --> 00:46:06,515 Speaker 1: who told him there were late present, he retorted he 607 00:46:06,555 --> 00:46:10,155 Speaker 1: didn't give a damn that they had no business there anyhow. 608 00:46:11,555 --> 00:46:14,835 Speaker 1: This shocking indecency was brought to the attention of the 609 00:46:14,915 --> 00:46:17,875 Speaker 1: league at the Philadelphia meeting in November eighteen ninety seven, 610 00:46:18,035 --> 00:46:22,115 Speaker 1: and a committee was appointed to report upon this baseball crime, 611 00:46:23,555 --> 00:46:29,035 Speaker 1: define and suggest for it a remedy. In response to 612 00:46:29,115 --> 00:46:34,355 Speaker 1: nearly one hundred communications addressed to umpires, managers, and club 613 00:46:34,395 --> 00:46:39,915 Speaker 1: officials soliciting definite, positive and personal knowledge of obscene and 614 00:46:40,075 --> 00:46:44,035 Speaker 1: indecent language upon the ball field, the committee received a 615 00:46:44,115 --> 00:46:50,915 Speaker 1: deluge of information that was so appalling as to be 616 00:46:51,075 --> 00:46:56,315 Speaker 1: almost beyond belief, showing conclusively and beyond contradiction that there 617 00:46:56,475 --> 00:47:00,595 Speaker 1: was urgent need for legislative action on the part of 618 00:47:00,675 --> 00:47:06,835 Speaker 1: the Lank League. That such brutal language as you blank 619 00:47:07,315 --> 00:47:12,915 Speaker 1: sucking son of a bitch, you blank eating bastard, you 620 00:47:13,155 --> 00:47:18,195 Speaker 1: blank lapping dog, kiss my blank, you son of a bitch. 621 00:47:18,915 --> 00:47:22,075 Speaker 1: A dog must have blanked your mother when she made you. 622 00:47:22,795 --> 00:47:28,315 Speaker 1: I blanked your mother, your sister, your wife. I'll make 623 00:47:28,395 --> 00:47:35,195 Speaker 1: you blank my blank you blank blanker and many other 624 00:47:35,395 --> 00:47:39,675 Speaker 1: revolting terms are used by a limited number of players 625 00:47:39,675 --> 00:47:44,755 Speaker 1: to intimidate umpires and opposing players, and are promiscuously used 626 00:47:44,835 --> 00:47:48,795 Speaker 1: upon the ballfield. Is vouched for by the almost unanimous 627 00:47:48,835 --> 00:47:52,155 Speaker 1: assertion of those invited to speak and who are confident 628 00:47:52,155 --> 00:47:56,315 Speaker 1: to speak from personal knowledge, whether it be the language 629 00:47:56,395 --> 00:48:01,675 Speaker 1: quoted above or some other indecent and infamous invention of depravity. 630 00:48:01,995 --> 00:48:04,835 Speaker 1: The league is pledged to remove it from the ballfield, 631 00:48:05,155 --> 00:48:08,315 Speaker 1: whether it necessitates the removal of the offender, for a 632 00:48:08,435 --> 00:48:19,195 Speaker 1: day or for all time. Any word, sentence, or expression 633 00:48:19,435 --> 00:48:23,635 Speaker 1: unfit for print or for the human ear, whether mentioned 634 00:48:23,675 --> 00:48:28,235 Speaker 1: in these instructions or not, is contemplated under the law 635 00:48:28,675 --> 00:48:32,835 Speaker 1: and within its intent and meaning, and will be dealt 636 00:48:32,875 --> 00:48:38,915 Speaker 1: with without fear or favor when the fact is established 637 00:48:39,395 --> 00:48:47,875 Speaker 1: by conclusive proof, signed by order of the Committee, and 638 00:48:47,915 --> 00:48:56,075 Speaker 1: then in black bold print parentheses unmailable must be forwarded 639 00:48:56,555 --> 00:49:07,555 Speaker 1: by express end parentheses. Special Instructions to players from eighteen 640 00:49:07,715 --> 00:49:19,235 Speaker 1: ninety eight. I keep this relic framed. I dust it regularly. 641 00:49:19,995 --> 00:49:24,075 Speaker 1: It hangs on my wall high up so no children 642 00:49:24,115 --> 00:49:27,795 Speaker 1: could read it. Well. I can't think the last time 643 00:49:27,835 --> 00:49:34,355 Speaker 1: there was a kid in this place, and it's it's 644 00:49:34,395 --> 00:49:37,715 Speaker 1: the damnedest thing I've ever read. It seems. I understand 645 00:49:37,755 --> 00:49:43,195 Speaker 1: the doubting Thomas's and I told them to ogo f 646 00:49:43,275 --> 00:49:47,595 Speaker 1: themselves because there was evidence that this existed. And the 647 00:49:47,675 --> 00:49:50,235 Speaker 1: reason there are a few copies is a player was 648 00:49:50,275 --> 00:49:53,035 Speaker 1: then handed this by the manager of his team. So 649 00:49:53,235 --> 00:49:59,995 Speaker 1: visualize a manager, possibly a fellow player, in uniform new York, Chicago, Cincinnati, 650 00:50:00,035 --> 00:50:03,275 Speaker 1: wherever the twelve teams of the National League were in 651 00:50:03,315 --> 00:50:06,595 Speaker 1: those early days days of eighteen ninety eight, handing this 652 00:50:06,715 --> 00:50:08,995 Speaker 1: document to a player who was then supposed to either 653 00:50:09,115 --> 00:50:12,195 Speaker 1: sign it or another document saying they had read it, 654 00:50:12,395 --> 00:50:14,875 Speaker 1: and give it back to the manager to read it 655 00:50:14,915 --> 00:50:18,395 Speaker 1: in the manager's presence. And many of these players barely 656 00:50:18,435 --> 00:50:21,715 Speaker 1: could read, and somebody had to read it to them, 657 00:50:22,435 --> 00:50:24,955 Speaker 1: and then they would be returned to the National League 658 00:50:25,035 --> 00:50:28,115 Speaker 1: office and held for all time. We don't know what 659 00:50:28,155 --> 00:50:33,035 Speaker 1: happened to all the signed ones. Two of them stuck 660 00:50:33,075 --> 00:50:37,115 Speaker 1: in the back of somebody's I don't know, Spalding Baseball 661 00:50:37,155 --> 00:50:41,235 Speaker 1: Guide somewhere. Two of them we know of, still extant 662 00:50:41,275 --> 00:50:47,235 Speaker 1: and in my collection. And to me, the quotations, as 663 00:50:47,275 --> 00:50:50,315 Speaker 1: I said, bring the eighteen nineties alive in a way 664 00:50:50,315 --> 00:50:54,475 Speaker 1: that nothing else possibly could. Those were real men who 665 00:50:54,515 --> 00:50:58,595 Speaker 1: could have been standing in the middle of any street 666 00:50:58,635 --> 00:51:03,035 Speaker 1: in America an hour ago or an hour from now, 667 00:51:03,915 --> 00:51:07,715 Speaker 1: talking that way, despite the fact that there were ladies present. 668 00:51:07,915 --> 00:51:11,675 Speaker 1: That could have been almost any woman member of the 669 00:51:11,675 --> 00:51:16,755 Speaker 1: Republican Party in Congress today who was then responded to 670 00:51:16,915 --> 00:51:20,355 Speaker 1: by the men who say, lady, there are ladies present. 671 00:51:22,955 --> 00:51:26,755 Speaker 1: It is, as I suggest, the greatest document ever written 672 00:51:26,875 --> 00:51:29,635 Speaker 1: in the English language. You may think there are others. 673 00:51:30,355 --> 00:51:35,955 Speaker 1: You might have that Bible thing or Shakespeare. No, I'll 674 00:51:35,995 --> 00:51:41,235 Speaker 1: take this. So the last explanation is unmailable must be 675 00:51:41,315 --> 00:51:44,795 Speaker 1: forwarded by express. When this was printed in eighteen ninety eight, 676 00:51:45,915 --> 00:51:48,795 Speaker 1: the possession of this was not considered a crime. But 677 00:51:48,915 --> 00:51:51,635 Speaker 1: if you put it in the mail. And this has 678 00:51:51,715 --> 00:51:55,155 Speaker 1: recently come up, of course, with the efforts to prevent 679 00:51:56,235 --> 00:52:04,795 Speaker 1: sending abortion medications through the mail, the same law is 680 00:52:04,795 --> 00:52:08,955 Speaker 1: still on the books. This was considered obscene material that 681 00:52:09,115 --> 00:52:12,635 Speaker 1: could not be sent by the US Mail and had 682 00:52:12,675 --> 00:52:18,995 Speaker 1: to be delivered by Express, by Federal Express, by Adams Express, 683 00:52:19,075 --> 00:52:24,995 Speaker 1: by a guy driving a team of horses who said, Hi, 684 00:52:25,195 --> 00:52:29,075 Speaker 1: I'm here with the stack of special instructions to players. 685 00:52:29,115 --> 00:52:35,435 Speaker 1: I wonder what this is about. Holy crap, as I said, 686 00:52:36,475 --> 00:52:41,275 Speaker 1: I keep it framed. I keep it up on my wall. 687 00:52:43,195 --> 00:52:45,475 Speaker 1: Every once in a while I bring it down and 688 00:52:45,555 --> 00:52:55,915 Speaker 1: read it aloud, because nothing, nothing will ever match it. 689 00:52:55,955 --> 00:53:02,235 Speaker 1: In terms of the nearness, the almost reach out and grasp, 690 00:53:03,115 --> 00:53:08,915 Speaker 1: the nineteenth century quality, this document is as close as 691 00:53:08,955 --> 00:53:23,915 Speaker 1: you will ever get to time travel. To time travel 692 00:53:47,075 --> 00:53:48,995 Speaker 1: I've done all the damage I can do here. Thank 693 00:53:48,995 --> 00:53:52,435 Speaker 1: you for listening.
