1 00:00:04,795 --> 00:00:22,275 Speaker 1: Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio Dementia. 2 00:00:22,395 --> 00:00:26,035 Speaker 1: Jay Trump's dementia is so obvious now that, in one 3 00:00:26,075 --> 00:00:31,955 Speaker 1: of the most remarkable, unexpected, startling, counterintuitive pieces of polling data, 4 00:00:32,075 --> 00:00:36,475 Speaker 1: I have ever seen, the future of democracy, the future 5 00:00:36,515 --> 00:00:40,555 Speaker 1: of the nation, the future of planetary climate may depend 6 00:00:41,195 --> 00:00:46,835 Speaker 1: on convincing as many voters as possible. As unbelievable as 7 00:00:46,835 --> 00:00:50,075 Speaker 1: this sounds, it may all depend on convincing as many 8 00:00:50,155 --> 00:00:55,195 Speaker 1: voters as possible, not that Joe Biden isn't too old, 9 00:00:55,995 --> 00:01:00,675 Speaker 1: but convincing as many voters as possible that Biden and 10 00:01:00,835 --> 00:01:05,835 Speaker 1: Trump are both too old. In other words, the Biden 11 00:01:05,955 --> 00:01:10,955 Speaker 1: campaign slogan should literally be my old man can beat 12 00:01:11,035 --> 00:01:15,155 Speaker 1: up your old man. Because, buried in the New York 13 00:01:15,195 --> 00:01:18,515 Speaker 1: Times article the first one there to acknowledge that Trump's 14 00:01:18,595 --> 00:01:23,195 Speaker 1: cheese whiz is actually rapidly and alarmingly sliding off his 15 00:01:23,315 --> 00:01:27,315 Speaker 1: cracker and now down a flight of stairs, there is 16 00:01:27,515 --> 00:01:32,355 Speaker 1: polling that indicates that forty three percent of American voters 17 00:01:32,555 --> 00:01:39,115 Speaker 1: believe they are both too old. Yet those people who 18 00:01:39,195 --> 00:01:44,235 Speaker 1: believe they are both too old intend to vote for 19 00:01:44,515 --> 00:01:50,435 Speaker 1: Joe Biden in a landslide. I will give you the background, 20 00:01:50,595 --> 00:01:53,755 Speaker 1: including the fact that Trump has just shown he doesn't 21 00:01:53,795 --> 00:01:57,515 Speaker 1: know where he is nor when it is. Plus the 22 00:01:57,635 --> 00:02:00,875 Speaker 1: by itself startling realization that dementia j Trump's dementia is 23 00:02:00,915 --> 00:02:03,595 Speaker 1: now so obvious that even The Times has sat up 24 00:02:03,595 --> 00:02:06,355 Speaker 1: and taken notice. And I will explain how a proxy 25 00:02:06,475 --> 00:02:08,995 Speaker 1: court battle over what is likely to happen to Trump 26 00:02:09,035 --> 00:02:12,475 Speaker 1: when he really violates the newly reinstated chut Can gag 27 00:02:12,595 --> 00:02:17,035 Speaker 1: order has ended in in court violence and the immediate 28 00:02:17,195 --> 00:02:20,635 Speaker 1: jailing of the defendant, and how that is also terrible 29 00:02:20,635 --> 00:02:26,195 Speaker 1: news for Trump. But first, this mind blowing polling. It 30 00:02:26,235 --> 00:02:30,995 Speaker 1: is in paragraph fourteen, in a watershed moment in the 31 00:02:31,035 --> 00:02:35,395 Speaker 1: Times herculean eight year effort to maintain the both sides, 32 00:02:35,475 --> 00:02:41,355 Speaker 1: This nonsense that Trump's brain isn't defective, that false narrative 33 00:02:42,035 --> 00:02:47,155 Speaker 1: has apparently actually lost in some kind of mono amano 34 00:02:47,155 --> 00:02:51,395 Speaker 1: combat inside the Times newsroom against its both sides, this 35 00:02:51,595 --> 00:02:54,955 Speaker 1: decree that if it writes about Biden in age and 36 00:02:55,115 --> 00:02:58,995 Speaker 1: mental alacrity, the Times of damn well better rite about Trump's. 37 00:02:59,875 --> 00:03:02,955 Speaker 1: And that's when the Times found out that the Associated 38 00:03:02,995 --> 00:03:07,475 Speaker 1: Press conducted a national poll in August but did not 39 00:03:07,595 --> 00:03:10,595 Speaker 1: report this result, and The Times piece is apparently the 40 00:03:10,635 --> 00:03:13,355 Speaker 1: first time this poll has seen the light of day. 41 00:03:14,395 --> 00:03:17,915 Speaker 1: How many American voters feel both Biden and Trump are 42 00:03:17,995 --> 00:03:21,035 Speaker 1: quote too old to effectively serve another four year term 43 00:03:21,075 --> 00:03:26,195 Speaker 1: as president. According to this August AP poll, forty three percent. 44 00:03:27,275 --> 00:03:30,635 Speaker 1: And what are they going to do about that? Among 45 00:03:30,715 --> 00:03:34,235 Speaker 1: this huge swath of the voting public that thinks they 46 00:03:34,275 --> 00:03:38,755 Speaker 1: are both too old, sixty one percent said they planned 47 00:03:38,755 --> 00:03:41,715 Speaker 1: to vote for Biden. Thirteen percent said they planned to 48 00:03:41,755 --> 00:03:45,435 Speaker 1: vote for Trump. I hate the cliche, let that sink in, 49 00:03:46,035 --> 00:03:49,075 Speaker 1: but for God's sake, let that sink in sixty one 50 00:03:49,955 --> 00:03:55,275 Speaker 1: to thirteen. Biden leads Trump sixty one to thirteen among 51 00:03:55,275 --> 00:03:58,875 Speaker 1: those who think they are both too old. Biden is 52 00:03:59,035 --> 00:04:04,115 Speaker 1: winning the too old vote. Biden is cleaning Trump's stopped 53 00:04:04,275 --> 00:04:07,835 Speaker 1: claw in the too old vote. Biden's age is not 54 00:04:07,875 --> 00:04:11,035 Speaker 1: only not a negative, it is in the context of 55 00:04:11,075 --> 00:04:13,555 Speaker 1: people who think they are both too old and absolute 56 00:04:14,235 --> 00:04:19,755 Speaker 1: unmistakable asset. It could be the decisive issue in the election. 57 00:04:19,995 --> 00:04:23,355 Speaker 1: The more people who believe both Biden and Trump are 58 00:04:23,435 --> 00:04:28,875 Speaker 1: too old, the likelier a Biden win. The closer it 59 00:04:28,955 --> 00:04:32,675 Speaker 1: gets to fifty percent, sixty percent, one hundred percent, the 60 00:04:32,835 --> 00:04:37,875 Speaker 1: likelier a Biden landslide, because this is not the first 61 00:04:37,875 --> 00:04:41,755 Speaker 1: time this almost unbelievable conclusion has shown up in polling. 62 00:04:42,155 --> 00:04:45,955 Speaker 1: The Franklin and Marshall poll last week had Biden and 63 00:04:45,995 --> 00:04:49,995 Speaker 1: Trump tied in Pennsylvania. But the number of voters in 64 00:04:50,035 --> 00:04:53,555 Speaker 1: Pennsylvania who think they're both too old is the same 65 00:04:54,155 --> 00:04:57,355 Speaker 1: as the number in the AP national poll forty three percent. 66 00:04:58,355 --> 00:05:01,875 Speaker 1: And in Pennsylvania it's the same damn thing, only more so. 67 00:05:02,315 --> 00:05:05,275 Speaker 1: Sixty six percent of the both too old voters are 68 00:05:05,315 --> 00:05:10,995 Speaker 1: going Biden, eleven percent going Trump. The insight here the 69 00:05:11,115 --> 00:05:16,835 Speaker 1: advice the shaping of strategy, again counterintuitive though it might be, 70 00:05:17,515 --> 00:05:21,955 Speaker 1: It's not exactly complicated. If you can get the they 71 00:05:22,035 --> 00:05:25,955 Speaker 1: are both to old number in Pennsylvania, just in Pennsylvania, 72 00:05:26,035 --> 00:05:29,755 Speaker 1: to go from forty three percent to forty four percent, 73 00:05:30,435 --> 00:05:34,435 Speaker 1: you have just converted one percent of the vote. And 74 00:05:34,555 --> 00:05:37,435 Speaker 1: I know statistically it's not this simple, but this is 75 00:05:37,475 --> 00:05:42,355 Speaker 1: still somewhat valid. You have just converted one percent of 76 00:05:42,395 --> 00:05:46,555 Speaker 1: the vote from a fifty to fifty split two at 77 00:05:46,635 --> 00:05:51,435 Speaker 1: minimum sixty six thirty four Biden. Now bear with me 78 00:05:51,475 --> 00:05:54,595 Speaker 1: a little on the back of the envelope. Math here 79 00:05:54,795 --> 00:05:57,955 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty presidential vote total in Pennsylvania was six million, 80 00:05:58,235 --> 00:06:00,955 Speaker 1: nine hundred and fifteen, two hundred and eighty three votes. 81 00:06:01,155 --> 00:06:04,075 Speaker 1: One percent of that is sixty nine thousand, one hundred 82 00:06:04,075 --> 00:06:08,715 Speaker 1: and fifty three votes. Right now. There is some group 83 00:06:09,275 --> 00:06:13,595 Speaker 1: totally one percent of all Pennsylvanians that is going at 84 00:06:13,595 --> 00:06:16,235 Speaker 1: this point thirty four thousand, five hundred and seventy six 85 00:06:16,275 --> 00:06:19,315 Speaker 1: for Biden thirty four thousand, five hundred and seventy six 86 00:06:19,315 --> 00:06:25,715 Speaker 1: for Trump. If you can convince that one percent that 87 00:06:25,755 --> 00:06:30,235 Speaker 1: they're both too old, all of a sudden how they 88 00:06:30,275 --> 00:06:33,915 Speaker 1: will vote will change. They become instead a minimum of 89 00:06:34,395 --> 00:06:37,315 Speaker 1: forty five thousand, six hundred and forty for Biden and 90 00:06:37,435 --> 00:06:40,875 Speaker 1: a maximum twenty three thousand, five hundred and thirteen for Trump. 91 00:06:40,955 --> 00:06:45,315 Speaker 1: You just moved twenty two thousand votes from Trump to Biden. 92 00:06:47,555 --> 00:06:50,275 Speaker 1: If you could get the percentage of people in Pennsylvania 93 00:06:50,275 --> 00:06:53,075 Speaker 1: who believe they are both too old from forty three 94 00:06:53,115 --> 00:06:56,275 Speaker 1: percent to just forty eight percent, if you could grow 95 00:06:56,275 --> 00:06:59,595 Speaker 1: it by just that five percent, you would swing a 96 00:06:59,755 --> 00:07:04,075 Speaker 1: minimum of one hundred and ten thousand votes from Trump 97 00:07:04,115 --> 00:07:11,115 Speaker 1: to Biden. In twenty twenty, Joe Biden won Pennsylvania by 98 00:07:11,195 --> 00:07:16,835 Speaker 1: eighty thousand votes. This is worth one hundred and ten thousand. 99 00:07:18,035 --> 00:07:21,235 Speaker 1: It is literally true that the reelection of the president 100 00:07:21,355 --> 00:07:25,595 Speaker 1: of the United States, and thus the preservation of American democracy, 101 00:07:25,995 --> 00:07:30,195 Speaker 1: and thus the continued criminal prosecution of Trump and his cult, 102 00:07:30,795 --> 00:07:33,755 Speaker 1: and thus the potential saving of the planet because the 103 00:07:33,795 --> 00:07:37,315 Speaker 1: critical climate decisions would be made not by a madman 104 00:07:37,475 --> 00:07:41,915 Speaker 1: like Trump but by Biden. All of that could rest 105 00:07:42,515 --> 00:07:49,315 Speaker 1: on simply convincing as little as five percent of American voters. 106 00:07:49,555 --> 00:07:54,515 Speaker 1: Not that Joe Biden is miraculously younger than he seems, 107 00:07:56,355 --> 00:07:59,075 Speaker 1: not that he's fit as a fiddle, not that eighty 108 00:07:59,155 --> 00:08:02,115 Speaker 1: one is the new sixty one, but simply that both 109 00:08:02,195 --> 00:08:08,275 Speaker 1: Biden and Trump are too The entire Biden age issue 110 00:08:08,315 --> 00:08:13,195 Speaker 1: is irrelevant. It's the Biden and Trump age issue, and 111 00:08:13,235 --> 00:08:17,875 Speaker 1: therefore the Trump age issue that is decisive, and that 112 00:08:18,035 --> 00:08:21,675 Speaker 1: target is moving rapidly for dementia j Trump, albeit off 113 00:08:21,715 --> 00:08:26,195 Speaker 1: a cliff because it is fair to ask if Trump 114 00:08:26,755 --> 00:08:30,475 Speaker 1: could still understand any of this, since in the last 115 00:08:30,475 --> 00:08:34,115 Speaker 1: forty eight hours he has literally not known where he 116 00:08:34,195 --> 00:08:42,315 Speaker 1: is nor what year this is. We begin in Sue City, Iowa. 117 00:08:42,835 --> 00:08:45,755 Speaker 2: Very big, hello to a place where we've done very well. 118 00:08:45,795 --> 00:08:52,515 Speaker 2: Sue Falls, Thank you very much, Sue Fallesome, thank you. 119 00:08:52,555 --> 00:09:00,235 Speaker 1: Oh it's so Sue City. Did you hear it? Did 120 00:09:00,235 --> 00:09:06,755 Speaker 1: you hear the guy whispering you're in Sue City? He 121 00:09:06,835 --> 00:09:09,435 Speaker 1: could have told him he was in Sue Sue studio. 122 00:09:10,115 --> 00:09:14,275 Speaker 1: That's Trump not knowing where he is. This is him 123 00:09:14,435 --> 00:09:18,835 Speaker 1: not knowing when. It is twelve forty two am Eastern yesterday. 124 00:09:18,995 --> 00:09:21,915 Speaker 1: Why didn't they file the lawsuits and indictments against me 125 00:09:22,035 --> 00:09:25,435 Speaker 1: three years ago seven thirty two am Eastern yesterday, as 126 00:09:25,435 --> 00:09:27,995 Speaker 1: if he'd forgotten the one seven hours earlier? Why didn't 127 00:09:27,995 --> 00:09:32,075 Speaker 1: they start the indictment in court cases three parentheses three 128 00:09:32,315 --> 00:09:35,915 Speaker 1: years ago seven thirty nine am Eastern yesterday, as if 129 00:09:35,955 --> 00:09:39,115 Speaker 1: he'd forgotten the one he'd written seven minutes earlier, and 130 00:09:39,235 --> 00:09:42,435 Speaker 1: if they started the highly political indictments three years ago? 131 00:09:43,435 --> 00:09:47,355 Speaker 1: Three years ago was October thirty first, twenty twenty. It 132 00:09:47,475 --> 00:09:52,635 Speaker 1: was a Saturday. The nearest holiday was Halloween later that day. 133 00:09:53,035 --> 00:09:57,555 Speaker 1: The president was anybody remember who the president was? Three 134 00:09:57,635 --> 00:10:04,195 Speaker 1: years ago? Today? Trump? The election, which Trump could still 135 00:10:04,275 --> 00:10:08,235 Speaker 1: legitimate he claim he had not yet lost, was three 136 00:10:08,315 --> 00:10:11,835 Speaker 1: days away. The inauguration was eighty two days away. And 137 00:10:11,875 --> 00:10:16,515 Speaker 1: Trump either does not know when all that was, or 138 00:10:16,555 --> 00:10:21,395 Speaker 1: he does not know when today is, or he can 139 00:10:21,475 --> 00:10:28,315 Speaker 1: no longer handle big math problems like two twenty three 140 00:10:28,435 --> 00:10:35,635 Speaker 1: minus three equals what Donald or all of the above, 141 00:10:37,315 --> 00:10:41,755 Speaker 1: and this finally is no longer just wishful thinking on 142 00:10:41,915 --> 00:10:47,715 Speaker 1: our part. Whatever threshold the Sioux City mess crossed, it 143 00:10:47,875 --> 00:10:51,875 Speaker 1: opened the spigot at The New York Times quote it 144 00:10:51,955 --> 00:10:55,035 Speaker 1: was strikingly similar to a fictional scene that mister Trump 145 00:10:55,075 --> 00:10:58,515 Speaker 1: acted out earlier this month, pretending to be mister Biden, 146 00:10:58,635 --> 00:11:03,475 Speaker 1: mistaking Iowa for Idaho and needing an aid to straighten 147 00:11:03,555 --> 00:11:09,115 Speaker 1: him out. Yeah, except this one actually happened. The Times 148 00:11:09,155 --> 00:11:12,515 Speaker 1: then went on to empty its Trump gaff file. It 149 00:11:12,555 --> 00:11:15,195 Speaker 1: has actually cited Trump telling his voters not to bother 150 00:11:15,275 --> 00:11:19,875 Speaker 1: to vote, and Trump twice claiming he won election over Obama, 151 00:11:20,715 --> 00:11:25,435 Speaker 1: and Trump praising Hesballah and Trump slamming Israel, and Trump 152 00:11:25,475 --> 00:11:27,435 Speaker 1: saying we were on the verge of World War II, 153 00:11:28,635 --> 00:11:31,035 Speaker 1: and Trump claiming he was leading Obama in the twenty 154 00:11:31,035 --> 00:11:34,475 Speaker 1: twenty four polls, and Trump not only praising Hungarian dictator 155 00:11:34,595 --> 00:11:39,435 Speaker 1: Orbon but claiming he was Turkish dictator Orbon, and all 156 00:11:39,475 --> 00:11:45,795 Speaker 1: the times Trump's called humas hummus. Times left out the 157 00:11:45,835 --> 00:11:49,075 Speaker 1: speech in which Trump forgot why FDR gave his speeches 158 00:11:49,115 --> 00:11:52,435 Speaker 1: sitting down, and when he concluded he was the first 159 00:11:52,435 --> 00:11:56,875 Speaker 1: person to realize that the letters you and S could 160 00:11:56,915 --> 00:12:03,235 Speaker 1: spell us or us. But the Times put pretty much 161 00:12:03,235 --> 00:12:06,595 Speaker 1: everything else in there. And I read it, and for 162 00:12:06,635 --> 00:12:10,275 Speaker 1: a second I felt like crying and saying I reported 163 00:12:10,275 --> 00:12:17,675 Speaker 1: all that too. I thought I was alone. I'm not alone. 164 00:12:17,795 --> 00:12:20,715 Speaker 1: In a little too late gesture, The Times also let 165 00:12:20,755 --> 00:12:24,755 Speaker 1: his gradually vanishing Republican rivals have shots at the gaff 166 00:12:24,995 --> 00:12:29,315 Speaker 1: pinata into which Trump is rapidly transforming. It quoted DeSantis, 167 00:12:29,795 --> 00:12:32,915 Speaker 1: It quoted Nicky Haley. Let me remind you, with all 168 00:12:33,035 --> 00:12:37,115 Speaker 1: due respect, I don't get confused. Having met her, I 169 00:12:37,115 --> 00:12:41,555 Speaker 1: would not put money on that, but you get the point. So, now, 170 00:12:41,555 --> 00:12:44,995 Speaker 1: what to do with this momentum towards the realization that 171 00:12:45,035 --> 00:12:47,995 Speaker 1: Trump is falling apart faster than a three four, one 172 00:12:48,035 --> 00:12:52,115 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty nine dollars suit, relief that you not 173 00:12:52,195 --> 00:12:54,115 Speaker 1: only don't have to try to bury the fact that 174 00:12:54,395 --> 00:12:57,155 Speaker 1: Joe Biden does turn eighty one three weeks from yesterday, 175 00:12:58,435 --> 00:13:03,035 Speaker 1: and the discovery that this entire issue is yours, not theirs, 176 00:13:04,115 --> 00:13:08,715 Speaker 1: and then the the cake or the whipped cream on 177 00:13:08,835 --> 00:13:14,115 Speaker 1: the jello. There already is somebody out there on the 178 00:13:14,155 --> 00:13:19,355 Speaker 1: campaign trail emphasizing the point that Trump is rapidly unraveling, 179 00:13:19,835 --> 00:13:24,715 Speaker 1: somebody already trying to drive home what is now the 180 00:13:24,835 --> 00:13:33,315 Speaker 1: message Democracy craves, the message that they are both too old. 181 00:13:34,475 --> 00:13:41,235 Speaker 1: The messenger of this gospel is this guy. Colleges and 182 00:13:41,435 --> 00:13:46,835 Speaker 1: universities will purge the anti Semitism and pro terroritism. What 183 00:13:47,275 --> 00:13:51,315 Speaker 1: you're doing the terrorism, you know, now that I think 184 00:13:51,355 --> 00:13:55,035 Speaker 1: of it. My old man can beat up your old 185 00:13:55,155 --> 00:14:02,155 Speaker 1: man is the absolute goddamned best campaign slogan Joe Biden 186 00:14:02,235 --> 00:14:05,115 Speaker 1: could ever have this year. And you ought to grab 187 00:14:05,155 --> 00:14:08,595 Speaker 1: it and run with it. And if you know anybody 188 00:14:08,635 --> 00:14:12,035 Speaker 1: in the White House, or on the campaign or in 189 00:14:12,075 --> 00:14:15,795 Speaker 1: the hierarchy of the Democratic Party, you ought to call 190 00:14:16,075 --> 00:14:19,995 Speaker 1: or email them about this polling and about my old 191 00:14:20,075 --> 00:14:26,195 Speaker 1: man can beat up your old man today, cause frankly, 192 00:14:28,235 --> 00:14:35,915 Speaker 1: I'm not getting any younger over here. Back to Trump, 193 00:14:36,355 --> 00:14:39,795 Speaker 1: and with Tanya Chutkins, gag order reinstated the possibility that 194 00:14:39,875 --> 00:14:43,155 Speaker 1: when dementia Jay blatantly violates it, the judge will actually 195 00:14:43,155 --> 00:14:47,395 Speaker 1: put him in jail. What the impeccable Scott McFarland, CBS 196 00:14:47,435 --> 00:14:50,795 Speaker 1: News aptly describes as a proxy battle on the gag 197 00:14:50,915 --> 00:14:54,195 Speaker 1: order itself has now played out before Judge Paul Friedman 198 00:14:54,235 --> 00:14:57,355 Speaker 1: of the US District Court in DC, and they evidently 199 00:14:57,475 --> 00:15:02,715 Speaker 1: came this close to having to use a taser on 200 00:15:02,835 --> 00:15:05,795 Speaker 1: the guy who in the analogy is standing in for Trump. 201 00:15:06,795 --> 00:15:12,275 Speaker 1: Former Galladet University student Vitally gosh Zankowski had been found 202 00:15:12,275 --> 00:15:15,115 Speaker 1: guilty on several counts of assaulting police officers during the 203 00:15:15,155 --> 00:15:19,835 Speaker 1: January sixth coup attempt, and even using a taser or 204 00:15:19,955 --> 00:15:24,435 Speaker 1: similar electrical device on those officers. He was out on 205 00:15:24,555 --> 00:15:28,195 Speaker 1: bail while he awaited sentencing, and then two weeks ago 206 00:15:28,475 --> 00:15:33,075 Speaker 1: this guy began to start sending threatening and anti semitic 207 00:15:33,155 --> 00:15:36,875 Speaker 1: text messages with racist chasers, and just to push it 208 00:15:36,915 --> 00:15:40,875 Speaker 1: to eleven, a series of doxing threats to the cell 209 00:15:40,955 --> 00:15:44,955 Speaker 1: phone of one of the FBI men involved in his prosecution, 210 00:15:45,755 --> 00:15:50,795 Speaker 1: something approaching a dozen of these really horrific and I 211 00:15:50,875 --> 00:15:57,155 Speaker 1: might add horrifically written texts. Judge Friedman called Gostzankowski's texts 212 00:15:57,315 --> 00:16:00,835 Speaker 1: extremely troubling and dangerous, and in the first direct link 213 00:16:00,875 --> 00:16:03,795 Speaker 1: to what Trump could face. The judge added that rarely 214 00:16:03,875 --> 00:16:08,595 Speaker 1: is it quote people in public life themselves who pose 215 00:16:08,675 --> 00:16:11,315 Speaker 1: the threats to agents or prosecutors or judges, but quote 216 00:16:11,555 --> 00:16:17,675 Speaker 1: their followers. He then ordered Goshzankowski to jail, and Goshchenkowski, 217 00:16:17,755 --> 00:16:21,795 Speaker 1: who has profound hearing loss, began in response to emit 218 00:16:22,555 --> 00:16:27,395 Speaker 1: guttural moaning noises, and when a court officer went to 219 00:16:27,515 --> 00:16:30,995 Speaker 1: cuff him and lead him away, Goshchenkowski managed to push 220 00:16:31,035 --> 00:16:36,075 Speaker 1: the officer around, knock over a computer, topple a table. Eventually, 221 00:16:36,075 --> 00:16:38,995 Speaker 1: at least four other officers came in to subdue him. 222 00:16:39,155 --> 00:16:41,795 Speaker 1: A crowd finally got him under control, and it is 223 00:16:41,955 --> 00:16:44,995 Speaker 1: unclear if he will face additional charges for what he 224 00:16:45,035 --> 00:16:49,275 Speaker 1: did in the courtroom. Now, it would seem unlikely that 225 00:16:49,315 --> 00:16:51,795 Speaker 1: Trump would go public with the kind of anti Semitic 226 00:16:51,835 --> 00:16:54,355 Speaker 1: and racist terms mixed with threats of rape that this 227 00:16:54,475 --> 00:16:59,675 Speaker 1: scumbagg follower did. Also, if there's an altercation in court, 228 00:16:59,875 --> 00:17:02,195 Speaker 1: I don't know that it's going to take four people 229 00:17:02,235 --> 00:17:09,635 Speaker 1: to subdue Trump. However, as noted above, he is deteriorating, 230 00:17:10,555 --> 00:17:12,715 Speaker 1: and though in the immediate wake of the reinstatement of 231 00:17:12,715 --> 00:17:15,355 Speaker 1: the gag order, at dinnertime Sunday, he seemed to reel 232 00:17:15,395 --> 00:17:18,715 Speaker 1: his madness back in Briefly, it did not last long. 233 00:17:19,075 --> 00:17:22,475 Speaker 1: Yesterday morning, he called Judge Chutkin a true Trump hater, 234 00:17:23,315 --> 00:17:26,795 Speaker 1: incapable of giving me a fair trial, and quote diagnosed 235 00:17:26,795 --> 00:17:30,395 Speaker 1: with a major and incurable case of something that Trump 236 00:17:30,475 --> 00:17:37,235 Speaker 1: calls Trump derangement syndrome. A quick additional note to the 237 00:17:37,235 --> 00:17:40,035 Speaker 1: Biden campaign, I think he can do something with this phrase, 238 00:17:40,115 --> 00:17:45,955 Speaker 1: Trump derangement syndrome, like Trump is deranged syndrome. Trump, of 239 00:17:45,955 --> 00:17:49,755 Speaker 1: course added a stochastic PostScript, as he always does, quote 240 00:17:49,875 --> 00:17:55,515 Speaker 1: this will not stand. And Trump also threatened President Biden 241 00:17:55,555 --> 00:17:58,875 Speaker 1: about prosecution, quote you're setting a bad precedent for yourself, Joe, 242 00:17:59,035 --> 00:18:02,275 Speaker 1: the same can happen to you, and called the President 243 00:18:02,355 --> 00:18:07,115 Speaker 1: my sleezebag opponent. Saturday night, Trump had attacked another likely 244 00:18:07,155 --> 00:18:11,115 Speaker 1: witness in the case, former Attorney General Barr, although the 245 00:18:11,155 --> 00:18:13,355 Speaker 1: gag order was not in effect at that moment. It 246 00:18:13,395 --> 00:18:16,795 Speaker 1: seems unbelievable that Trump could restrain himself from repeating those taunts, 247 00:18:16,875 --> 00:18:21,995 Speaker 1: or the ones against Mark Meadows, although this might provide 248 00:18:22,115 --> 00:18:26,635 Speaker 1: less fodder for jailing Trump than for boosting the They're 249 00:18:26,675 --> 00:18:30,395 Speaker 1: both too old number. The New York Post quoted Bars 250 00:18:30,475 --> 00:18:33,275 Speaker 1: saying that Trump's quote verbal skills are very limited, and 251 00:18:33,315 --> 00:18:36,795 Speaker 1: Trump promptly retorted since the New York Post went bad 252 00:18:36,915 --> 00:18:40,315 Speaker 1: on Trump, their numbers have fallen, and of course Trump 253 00:18:40,395 --> 00:18:46,995 Speaker 1: misspelled there. Truly, a sea of troubles is also rising 254 00:18:47,235 --> 00:18:49,955 Speaker 1: around Trump. Judge Chutkin will also have to decide now 255 00:18:49,995 --> 00:18:52,675 Speaker 1: in a long shot suit by several media outlets to 256 00:18:52,835 --> 00:18:57,115 Speaker 1: televise the elections subversion trial, the solicitation of opinions from 257 00:18:57,155 --> 00:19:01,595 Speaker 1: each side in this case is itself a procrustian bed 258 00:19:01,675 --> 00:19:05,515 Speaker 1: for Trump, his ego could not find possibly let him 259 00:19:05,795 --> 00:19:10,395 Speaker 1: absolutely oppose the prospect of being shown on all channels 260 00:19:10,875 --> 00:19:13,915 Speaker 1: all the time for weeks in the middle of the 261 00:19:13,995 --> 00:19:20,795 Speaker 1: campaign for free, especially while he is being persecuted and 262 00:19:20,955 --> 00:19:25,755 Speaker 1: martyred and whatever else he has convinced himself is really happening. 263 00:19:27,155 --> 00:19:31,315 Speaker 1: On the other hand, even Trump or somebody close enough 264 00:19:31,355 --> 00:19:35,315 Speaker 1: to put a symbolic gag order around him, we'll be 265 00:19:35,395 --> 00:19:38,235 Speaker 1: able to recognize that there is one fatal flaw in 266 00:19:38,315 --> 00:19:42,755 Speaker 1: pushing for a new TV crossover between The Apprentice and 267 00:19:43,275 --> 00:19:49,675 Speaker 1: America's most wanted The flaw is Trump would not control 268 00:19:49,835 --> 00:19:55,355 Speaker 1: the cameras. The Fourteenth Amendment disqualification trial is underway in Denver. 269 00:19:55,435 --> 00:20:00,115 Speaker 1: Day one was mostly preamble. The plaintiffs presented Congressman Eric Swalwell, 270 00:20:00,155 --> 00:20:03,795 Speaker 1: who was there and an officer injured on January sixth, 271 00:20:03,795 --> 00:20:06,995 Speaker 1: and not just video from the coup, but Trump's own words. 272 00:20:07,715 --> 00:20:11,195 Speaker 1: Trump's attorneys apparently decided that the best defense is a 273 00:20:11,235 --> 00:20:15,035 Speaker 1: good mockery. Quote. I don't even know where to begin 274 00:20:15,115 --> 00:20:17,955 Speaker 1: on this one, said Trump attorney Scott Gessler. How do 275 00:20:18,035 --> 00:20:21,395 Speaker 1: we cross examine any of this evidence that contains speculation 276 00:20:21,555 --> 00:20:26,555 Speaker 1: and opinion? This characterizes or exemplifies the very worst aspects 277 00:20:26,595 --> 00:20:31,555 Speaker 1: of the January sixth commission. The Guardian reports from the 278 00:20:31,555 --> 00:20:34,115 Speaker 1: Fannie Willis trial in Atlanta that while Jenna Ellis and 279 00:20:34,155 --> 00:20:36,795 Speaker 1: Sidney Powell and Kenny the Cheese got plea deals, and 280 00:20:36,875 --> 00:20:39,755 Speaker 1: as many as seven more co defendants, including Michael Roman, 281 00:20:39,835 --> 00:20:43,475 Speaker 1: may have been offered them, Mark Meadows, John Eastman Rudy 282 00:20:43,475 --> 00:20:48,195 Speaker 1: Giuliani have not been offered plea deals. On Capitol Hill, 283 00:20:48,395 --> 00:20:51,355 Speaker 1: everything's going great in the dirtying up of Joe Biden. 284 00:20:51,755 --> 00:20:56,555 Speaker 1: Chairman Jamie Flobe, comer of the House Subcommittee on Obstructing Justice, 285 00:20:56,795 --> 00:21:00,795 Speaker 1: is so happy with how his impeachment of Biden is going. 286 00:21:01,235 --> 00:21:04,395 Speaker 1: That quote, I don't know that I want to hold 287 00:21:04,395 --> 00:21:10,035 Speaker 1: any hearings, to be honest with you, Good call, FATS. 288 00:21:11,115 --> 00:21:15,515 Speaker 1: A twenty sixteen SoundBite from a then obscure congressman resurfaced 289 00:21:15,595 --> 00:21:18,595 Speaker 1: last night a Shreveport radio host. He cried that quote, 290 00:21:18,835 --> 00:21:21,755 Speaker 1: we have two morally bankrupt people, one of whom will 291 00:21:21,755 --> 00:21:25,995 Speaker 1: be our next president, to which the guest agreed, quote, 292 00:21:26,715 --> 00:21:30,955 Speaker 1: we do. The congressman who confirmed that Donald Trump was 293 00:21:30,995 --> 00:21:37,115 Speaker 1: morally bankrupt is now Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson. Surprise. 294 00:21:38,515 --> 00:21:42,275 Speaker 1: And lastly, and I think tying all this together is 295 00:21:42,315 --> 00:21:45,195 Speaker 1: the reality that from here on in Trump will have 296 00:21:45,235 --> 00:21:51,515 Speaker 1: to deal with one uncontrollable factor, one unceasing Biden asset, 297 00:21:51,875 --> 00:22:01,195 Speaker 1: Trump's own worst campaign enemy. Trump just as Rolling Stone 298 00:22:01,315 --> 00:22:04,915 Speaker 1: was reporting that Trump has insisted to his advisors that 299 00:22:04,995 --> 00:22:08,475 Speaker 1: if he again sees his power, he will fulfill his 300 00:22:08,595 --> 00:22:11,115 Speaker 1: promise of seven and eight years ago to pull this 301 00:22:11,275 --> 00:22:16,115 Speaker 1: country out of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to ineffect 302 00:22:16,275 --> 00:22:20,915 Speaker 1: kill NATO, Trump was speaking in Iowa, and in between 303 00:22:20,955 --> 00:22:25,235 Speaker 1: getting proper names wrong and geography wrong, he was reminding 304 00:22:25,315 --> 00:22:29,275 Speaker 1: us that whether paid or planted, we're just a volunteer. 305 00:22:30,035 --> 00:22:34,395 Speaker 1: He is a Russian agent. And remember the head of 306 00:22:34,435 --> 00:22:36,235 Speaker 1: a country stood up said, does that mean that of 307 00:22:36,355 --> 00:22:39,635 Speaker 1: Russia attacks my country, you will not be there? That's right, 308 00:22:39,675 --> 00:22:42,315 Speaker 1: That's what it means. I will not protect you. I'm 309 00:22:42,315 --> 00:22:46,995 Speaker 1: telling you, Biden Harris twenty twenty four, my old man 310 00:22:47,635 --> 00:22:55,675 Speaker 1: can beat up your old man. Also of interest here, 311 00:22:55,755 --> 00:22:59,955 Speaker 1: why are advertisements for the National Football League Philadelphia Eagles 312 00:23:00,035 --> 00:23:05,035 Speaker 1: appearing alongside videos of lunatic Stu Peters who have just 313 00:23:05,155 --> 00:23:10,355 Speaker 1: insisted that everybody from Catholic charities should be shot? And 314 00:23:11,595 --> 00:23:16,195 Speaker 1: speaking of spots, who told you that the World Series 315 00:23:16,355 --> 00:23:19,395 Speaker 1: was not going to draw ten million TV viewers? 316 00:23:23,075 --> 00:23:29,035 Speaker 2: That's next? This discountdown. This is countdown with Keith Olberman. 317 00:23:41,115 --> 00:23:47,555 Speaker 2: This is Sports Center. Wait, check that not anymore. This 318 00:23:48,395 --> 00:23:51,835 Speaker 2: is countdown with Keith. 319 00:23:51,595 --> 00:23:56,275 Speaker 1: Alberman in sports. Despite a baseball tradition as old as 320 00:23:56,355 --> 00:24:01,235 Speaker 1: time itself, ace pitcher Max Scherzer leaving early because part 321 00:24:01,235 --> 00:24:04,595 Speaker 1: of him stiffened up or got sore or fell off 322 00:24:04,795 --> 00:24:08,595 Speaker 1: or something. The Texas Rangers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks three 323 00:24:08,635 --> 00:24:10,435 Speaker 1: to one last night to go up two to one 324 00:24:10,435 --> 00:24:13,595 Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty three World Series. Corey Seegers two 325 00:24:13,635 --> 00:24:16,955 Speaker 1: run homer key to three run Texas third and after 326 00:24:17,035 --> 00:24:21,075 Speaker 1: Scherzer's back tightness, the Texas bullpen pitched six innings of 327 00:24:21,115 --> 00:24:24,075 Speaker 1: four hit ball. The Rangers have now won eight straight 328 00:24:24,155 --> 00:24:28,195 Speaker 1: road games, which is a very impressive streak, but which 329 00:24:28,195 --> 00:24:31,715 Speaker 1: also makes for really dispiriting ball games because obviously the 330 00:24:31,795 --> 00:24:36,755 Speaker 1: crowds are silenced early. This is all likely to be 331 00:24:36,995 --> 00:24:40,275 Speaker 1: news to you right now, because despite my dire predictions 332 00:24:40,275 --> 00:24:43,275 Speaker 1: about the TV audience and how it would not respond 333 00:24:43,315 --> 00:24:46,555 Speaker 1: to how Baseball had reduced the World Series from a 334 00:24:46,555 --> 00:24:50,315 Speaker 1: bitter grudge match between the champions of two rival leagues 335 00:24:50,555 --> 00:24:53,755 Speaker 1: that had hated each other since nineteen oh one, had 336 00:24:53,795 --> 00:24:56,955 Speaker 1: they taken that and reduced it to the end of 337 00:24:56,995 --> 00:25:01,355 Speaker 1: a byzantine playoff structure that manages to eliminate ten of 338 00:25:01,435 --> 00:25:05,595 Speaker 1: the best eleven teams in the sport, now pitting the 339 00:25:05,635 --> 00:25:09,755 Speaker 1: Texas Rangers with the seventh best record during the regular 340 00:25:09,835 --> 00:25:14,595 Speaker 1: season against the Arizona Diamondbacks with the twelfth best regular 341 00:25:14,715 --> 00:25:18,075 Speaker 1: season record, and still calling it the World Series. For 342 00:25:18,155 --> 00:25:23,795 Speaker 1: some reason, Even with that, I was overly optimistic about 343 00:25:23,795 --> 00:25:27,795 Speaker 1: how well it would do on the tube. The twenty 344 00:25:27,835 --> 00:25:29,955 Speaker 1: twenty three World Series has turned out to have the 345 00:25:30,075 --> 00:25:34,755 Speaker 1: least watched first game in history, just nine million, one 346 00:25:34,795 --> 00:25:39,795 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy two thousand viewers a rating of four 347 00:25:39,875 --> 00:25:43,915 Speaker 1: point six. The Spanish broadcast only got an additional one 348 00:25:43,955 --> 00:25:47,795 Speaker 1: hundred and eighty two thousand viewers, and Friday's game was 349 00:25:47,955 --> 00:25:52,195 Speaker 1: genuinely terrific and gripping and entertaining and back and forth 350 00:25:52,235 --> 00:25:54,755 Speaker 1: and dramatic, and even if the teams aren't really the 351 00:25:54,875 --> 00:25:58,355 Speaker 1: champions of anything, the third game last night was up 352 00:25:58,355 --> 00:26:00,755 Speaker 1: against Monday Night Football, so there's no hope of a 353 00:26:00,795 --> 00:26:04,275 Speaker 1: great rating there. The only hope for this being the 354 00:26:04,355 --> 00:26:07,715 Speaker 1: first World Series to not average fewer than ten million 355 00:26:07,795 --> 00:26:10,955 Speaker 1: viewers per game is for the series to go six 356 00:26:11,195 --> 00:26:14,075 Speaker 1: or seven games, and for that to happen that means 357 00:26:14,115 --> 00:26:17,675 Speaker 1: breaking that Texas eight game road winning streak in Phoenix 358 00:26:17,715 --> 00:26:43,515 Speaker 1: tonight or tomorrow. Thank you, Nancy Faust. If baseball feels 359 00:26:43,555 --> 00:26:47,635 Speaker 1: like somebody's watching it, it's pure paranoia, and in a 360 00:26:47,715 --> 00:26:51,115 Speaker 1: sad irony of timing, the first superstar in the history 361 00:26:51,115 --> 00:26:54,795 Speaker 1: of those Texas Rangers died yesterday. In an age of 362 00:26:54,875 --> 00:26:57,475 Speaker 1: lots of players six foot five or taller, it is 363 00:26:57,515 --> 00:27:01,715 Speaker 1: hard to imagine just how big Frank Howard seemed as 364 00:27:01,755 --> 00:27:04,515 Speaker 1: he roamed the outfield for the Dodgers and the Senators, 365 00:27:04,715 --> 00:27:07,755 Speaker 1: the Rangers and the Tigers in the sixties and the seventies. 366 00:27:08,195 --> 00:27:11,235 Speaker 1: Maybe the best image you want is one that I 367 00:27:11,355 --> 00:27:13,955 Speaker 1: always see in my mind about him. It was in 368 00:27:13,955 --> 00:27:16,115 Speaker 1: the year nineteen eighty three when he was a coach 369 00:27:16,195 --> 00:27:18,995 Speaker 1: and then the manager of the New York Mets, and 370 00:27:19,035 --> 00:27:21,915 Speaker 1: he used to frequently talk to on the field standing 371 00:27:21,955 --> 00:27:27,195 Speaker 1: alongside his fellow coach, Jim Fry. Frank Howard was six 372 00:27:27,275 --> 00:27:30,115 Speaker 1: foot seven inches and at least two hundred and fifty 373 00:27:30,155 --> 00:27:35,075 Speaker 1: five pounds. Jim Fry was five foot nine, maybe at 374 00:27:35,075 --> 00:27:38,835 Speaker 1: about one hundred and seventy pounds, and in those days, 375 00:27:38,955 --> 00:27:44,315 Speaker 1: Jim Fry was closer to average human size, as nice 376 00:27:44,355 --> 00:27:47,715 Speaker 1: and even as silly as he was towering. Frank Howard 377 00:27:47,795 --> 00:27:50,915 Speaker 1: hit three hundred and eighty two career home runs, eighty 378 00:27:50,955 --> 00:27:53,835 Speaker 1: of them in the two years of the Pitcher in 379 00:27:53,915 --> 00:27:56,915 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty seven and nineteen sixty eight before they lowered 380 00:27:56,915 --> 00:27:59,635 Speaker 1: the mound, and he had one hundred and sixteen home 381 00:27:59,715 --> 00:28:03,915 Speaker 1: runs in seven seasons at RFK Stadium in Washington, a 382 00:28:03,955 --> 00:28:08,595 Speaker 1: place where, particularly in the sixties, nobody hit home runs. 383 00:28:09,395 --> 00:28:12,555 Speaker 1: A basketball star at Ohio State before he went into baseball. 384 00:28:12,915 --> 00:28:37,875 Speaker 1: Frank Howard was eighty seven years old, still ahead on 385 00:28:37,955 --> 00:28:41,875 Speaker 1: countdown before we close out October. October is the birthday 386 00:28:41,915 --> 00:28:45,035 Speaker 1: month of one of my favorite people who ever lived. 387 00:28:45,955 --> 00:28:48,755 Speaker 1: I met him only once, but that one time was 388 00:28:48,795 --> 00:28:53,435 Speaker 1: so profound, so memorable, that when he died I shocked 389 00:28:53,435 --> 00:28:57,595 Speaker 1: myself by bursting into tears. His story ahead in things 390 00:28:57,595 --> 00:28:59,995 Speaker 1: I promised not to tell first time for the daily 391 00:29:00,075 --> 00:29:02,435 Speaker 1: roundup of the miss Grants, morons and Dunning Kruger effects 392 00:29:02,435 --> 00:29:08,675 Speaker 1: specimens who constitute today's worst persons in the world worse. 393 00:29:09,835 --> 00:29:14,955 Speaker 1: Boris Johnson, the first fascist since Oswald Moseley to get 394 00:29:14,955 --> 00:29:17,795 Speaker 1: a real foothold in British politics. The one time journalist, 395 00:29:17,875 --> 00:29:20,115 Speaker 1: one time Mayor of London, one time Prime Minister of 396 00:29:20,115 --> 00:29:23,075 Speaker 1: the UK, one time lame duck Prime Minister of the 397 00:29:23,155 --> 00:29:26,195 Speaker 1: UK after they voted him out of office, has a 398 00:29:26,275 --> 00:29:31,915 Speaker 1: new job anchor and commentator for Britain's gb News, which 399 00:29:31,955 --> 00:29:34,955 Speaker 1: is like their version of Fox, only the nineteen ninety 400 00:29:34,955 --> 00:29:37,755 Speaker 1: six ninety seven Fox where they were still pretending to 401 00:29:37,875 --> 00:29:40,635 Speaker 1: be news, and they were pretending they were not trying 402 00:29:40,675 --> 00:29:46,795 Speaker 1: to destroy their country by sewing division and racism and homophobia. 403 00:29:46,915 --> 00:29:49,995 Speaker 1: So why is Boris Johnson, famously known for a quoff 404 00:29:50,315 --> 00:29:52,155 Speaker 1: that looks like he did it with a leaf blower, 405 00:29:52,835 --> 00:29:56,875 Speaker 1: lowering himself to returning to the media. I mean it's 406 00:29:56,875 --> 00:30:00,115 Speaker 1: like George W. Bush reading sports scores on Fox Sports 407 00:30:00,155 --> 00:30:04,675 Speaker 1: one or something. Well, the answer is obvious. GB News 408 00:30:05,435 --> 00:30:12,115 Speaker 1: has its own full time hair stylist worser. South Carolina 409 00:30:12,155 --> 00:30:15,355 Speaker 1: Senator Tim Scott. Did you know he's running for the 410 00:30:15,395 --> 00:30:20,755 Speaker 1: Republican nomination for president? It's true. Tim went on the 411 00:30:20,915 --> 00:30:24,275 Speaker 1: Hugh Hewitt radio show. Hugh Hewitt, you know the man 412 00:30:24,315 --> 00:30:28,075 Speaker 1: whose family was too poor to afford three different syllables, 413 00:30:28,875 --> 00:30:31,595 Speaker 1: and Scott said, never mind the polls showing him in 414 00:30:31,715 --> 00:30:36,155 Speaker 1: fourth place. Quote, we have made the decision that it's 415 00:30:36,555 --> 00:30:40,075 Speaker 1: Iowa or Bust for us, and I'm looking forward to 416 00:30:40,115 --> 00:30:46,115 Speaker 1: being there. So, to paraphrase the sketch by Stephen Frye 417 00:30:46,155 --> 00:30:50,915 Speaker 1: and Hugh Laurie, Bust, double bust, and an extra pint 418 00:30:50,955 --> 00:30:56,595 Speaker 1: of bust for the weekend. Also, Tim Scott, he comes 419 00:30:56,635 --> 00:31:02,515 Speaker 1: from a town full of secrets and worst the Philadelphia 420 00:31:02,515 --> 00:31:06,915 Speaker 1: Eagles and the National Football along with Elon Musk and 421 00:31:07,035 --> 00:31:11,475 Speaker 1: Twitter X and the lunatic fascist commentator Stu Peters. You 422 00:31:11,555 --> 00:31:17,035 Speaker 1: know Stu pete Ers Stu pete Ers, whose only possible 423 00:31:17,075 --> 00:31:20,275 Speaker 1: excuse for his commentary on Rumble and Online would be tumors. 424 00:31:20,955 --> 00:31:23,555 Speaker 1: At a live event Saturday, Peter said that the outfit 425 00:31:23,675 --> 00:31:28,435 Speaker 1: Catholic Charities helps to quote coach illegals on how to 426 00:31:28,555 --> 00:31:32,115 Speaker 1: get admitted here. He went on to say, we need 427 00:31:32,195 --> 00:31:34,515 Speaker 1: troops on the border that will shoot people that are 428 00:31:34,555 --> 00:31:38,035 Speaker 1: trying to invade our country. That'd be a good first step, 429 00:31:38,235 --> 00:31:40,315 Speaker 1: but you know what a better second step would be 430 00:31:40,795 --> 00:31:47,835 Speaker 1: shooting everyone involved with these fake charities unquote. So this 431 00:31:48,075 --> 00:31:52,515 Speaker 1: psychotic Stu Peters is calling for the mass murder of 432 00:31:52,595 --> 00:31:58,435 Speaker 1: people who work for Catholic charities. Well, what's that got 433 00:31:58,475 --> 00:32:01,315 Speaker 1: to do with the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL. Well, 434 00:32:01,795 --> 00:32:05,555 Speaker 1: the watchdog group Media Matters reports that Musks twitter x, 435 00:32:06,155 --> 00:32:09,675 Speaker 1: which gave Peters a blue check mark. Again, that's Peters 436 00:32:09,675 --> 00:32:17,435 Speaker 1: who's advocating murdering Catholic Charities workers shooting them. A couple 437 00:32:17,435 --> 00:32:22,195 Speaker 1: of days after a mass shooting, and next to one 438 00:32:22,235 --> 00:32:25,315 Speaker 1: of his posts in which Stut Peters calls for violence 439 00:32:25,355 --> 00:32:29,355 Speaker 1: on video, Elon Musk has placed an ad for the 440 00:32:29,395 --> 00:32:33,635 Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles and the National Football League. The team and 441 00:32:33,715 --> 00:32:36,915 Speaker 1: the league has so far done nothing about that juxtaposition, 442 00:32:37,195 --> 00:32:43,035 Speaker 1: and it easily can stop advertising with Elon effing Musk 443 00:32:43,835 --> 00:32:50,435 Speaker 1: break him so until the Eagles disassociate themselves from Stu 444 00:32:50,555 --> 00:32:56,115 Speaker 1: Peters and twitter x and Elon Musk, it's Stu Peters 445 00:32:56,235 --> 00:33:03,035 Speaker 1: calling for murdering Catholic Charities workers sponsored by your Philadelphia Eagles. 446 00:33:03,435 --> 00:33:21,395 Speaker 1: Two days worst Parsons in the world. Finally, the number 447 00:33:21,395 --> 00:33:23,915 Speaker 1: one story on the Countdown and my favorite topic me 448 00:33:24,235 --> 00:33:26,715 Speaker 1: and things for my career and my life. And it 449 00:33:26,795 --> 00:33:29,755 Speaker 1: is to me amazing, even after all this time, that 450 00:33:29,835 --> 00:33:32,875 Speaker 1: you could meet somebody just once in your life, but 451 00:33:33,155 --> 00:33:37,235 Speaker 1: years later be moved to tears upon learning of their death. 452 00:33:37,875 --> 00:33:40,675 Speaker 1: Then again, the man in question was named Walter Mathowl, 453 00:33:41,355 --> 00:33:44,035 Speaker 1: and if he was not the most popular American comedic 454 00:33:44,115 --> 00:33:46,315 Speaker 1: actor of the last half of the twentieth century, he 455 00:33:46,395 --> 00:33:49,475 Speaker 1: was close to it. And maybe more importantly, he was 456 00:33:49,635 --> 00:33:53,675 Speaker 1: the most skilled, minimal touch American actor of the last 457 00:33:53,675 --> 00:33:55,875 Speaker 1: half of the twentieth century. In other words, he was 458 00:33:55,915 --> 00:33:58,275 Speaker 1: the man who, on stage or on cameras, seemed to 459 00:33:58,275 --> 00:34:01,515 Speaker 1: be doing the least amount of actual acting while still 460 00:34:01,635 --> 00:34:04,435 Speaker 1: keeping you utterly convinced that the guy you saw in 461 00:34:04,475 --> 00:34:07,835 Speaker 1: this Green, was not Walter Mathow, but was Oscar Madison, 462 00:34:08,195 --> 00:34:10,915 Speaker 1: and was not Walter Mathow but was Max Goldman, and 463 00:34:11,035 --> 00:34:14,115 Speaker 1: was not Walter Mathow but was Willie Gingrich and was 464 00:34:14,115 --> 00:34:17,515 Speaker 1: not Walter Mathow but was mel Miller. Even though mel 465 00:34:17,595 --> 00:34:20,195 Speaker 1: Miller had a Southern accent, smoked a pipe, had horn 466 00:34:20,275 --> 00:34:24,515 Speaker 1: rim glasses, and supposedly went to Vanderbilt. We all knew 467 00:34:24,675 --> 00:34:28,275 Speaker 1: Walter Mathow. It felt like we knew him personally, because 468 00:34:28,315 --> 00:34:30,795 Speaker 1: he managed a miracle. Every time he performed, it was 469 00:34:30,955 --> 00:34:33,595 Speaker 1: all him up there, and yet at the same time 470 00:34:34,115 --> 00:34:38,595 Speaker 1: it was not him at all anyway. October first was 471 00:34:38,635 --> 00:34:41,395 Speaker 1: his birthday, which is what brought this extraordinary man to 472 00:34:41,435 --> 00:34:43,755 Speaker 1: the front of my mind again. I will get to 473 00:34:43,835 --> 00:34:47,155 Speaker 1: my meeting with him first. Walter Mathow's best friends as 474 00:34:47,195 --> 00:34:49,355 Speaker 1: an adult were his partner in half a dozen films, 475 00:34:49,435 --> 00:34:52,675 Speaker 1: Jack Lemon, and my dear friend Norman Lloyd, the one 476 00:34:52,715 --> 00:34:55,075 Speaker 1: man history of Hollywood, who he lost in twenty twenty 477 00:34:55,115 --> 00:34:57,875 Speaker 1: one at the age of one hundred and six. Norman 478 00:34:58,115 --> 00:35:02,435 Speaker 1: loved Walter, and Norman loved talking about Walter, and there 479 00:35:02,515 --> 00:35:05,075 Speaker 1: was an amazing amount of things to talk about about Walter. 480 00:35:06,035 --> 00:35:08,435 Speaker 1: Norman told me that on the last of the Grumpy 481 00:35:08,515 --> 00:35:11,435 Speaker 1: Old Men movies that he and Lemon made together. I 482 00:35:11,475 --> 00:35:14,075 Speaker 1: think it was called Grumpy Old Men. Were doing this 483 00:35:14,115 --> 00:35:17,355 Speaker 1: for the money. Mathow wanted to wrap up one day 484 00:35:17,355 --> 00:35:19,835 Speaker 1: of shooting quickly. He was scheduled to film a scene 485 00:35:19,835 --> 00:35:21,635 Speaker 1: and a water slide made up to look like a 486 00:35:21,675 --> 00:35:25,755 Speaker 1: sewer through which his character was escaping. As the lunch 487 00:35:25,755 --> 00:35:28,275 Speaker 1: break was called, he said to Lemon, come on, Jack, 488 00:35:28,355 --> 00:35:30,995 Speaker 1: let's go rehearse the water slide thing. This way. We 489 00:35:30,995 --> 00:35:32,475 Speaker 1: can do it in one take. Get the hell out 490 00:35:32,475 --> 00:35:35,275 Speaker 1: of here anyway. Don't you have to wait an hour 491 00:35:35,315 --> 00:35:39,115 Speaker 1: after eating before you can shoot through a sewer. They 492 00:35:39,155 --> 00:35:42,235 Speaker 1: went to the sewer water slide set. Walter Mathow grabbed 493 00:35:42,235 --> 00:35:44,595 Speaker 1: the raft he was supposed to ride, and he jumped in. 494 00:35:45,155 --> 00:35:47,355 Speaker 1: As he went through it, he studied all the corners 495 00:35:47,395 --> 00:35:49,355 Speaker 1: and where the cameras would be, so he knew where 496 00:35:49,395 --> 00:35:52,635 Speaker 1: to make his faces, and seconds later he was shooting 497 00:35:52,675 --> 00:35:54,315 Speaker 1: out the far end of the water slide onto the 498 00:35:54,315 --> 00:35:57,595 Speaker 1: giant inflatable twelve foot square air mattress placed there to 499 00:35:57,635 --> 00:36:00,355 Speaker 1: break his fall. Or he would have been doing that, 500 00:36:00,675 --> 00:36:03,915 Speaker 1: except it was lunch and the teamsters had deflated the 501 00:36:03,955 --> 00:36:06,715 Speaker 1: mattress and moved it away because the set was on 502 00:36:06,835 --> 00:36:10,195 Speaker 1: lunch break. So Walter Mathow, then seventy three years old, 503 00:36:10,235 --> 00:36:14,115 Speaker 1: came flying out of the water slide onto the pavement. 504 00:36:15,155 --> 00:36:18,435 Speaker 1: He broke his collar bone, which is just about as 505 00:36:18,475 --> 00:36:23,155 Speaker 1: painful a thing as you can break. No, Walter Mathow screamed. 506 00:36:23,635 --> 00:36:25,915 Speaker 1: Jack Lemon raced over to him, Walter, Walter, are you 507 00:36:25,915 --> 00:36:28,795 Speaker 1: all right? No, I'm not, Jack? Call nine one one 508 00:36:28,795 --> 00:36:33,355 Speaker 1: ow ow Lemon panicked. Can I help you, Walter? Can I? 509 00:36:33,435 --> 00:36:35,715 Speaker 1: Can I get you something? Walter? Yes, Jack, get me 510 00:36:35,835 --> 00:36:41,195 Speaker 1: nine one one ow oh. Lemon continued to panic but 511 00:36:41,715 --> 00:36:44,795 Speaker 1: till they come. Are you okay, Walter? Are you comfortable? 512 00:36:45,995 --> 00:36:49,035 Speaker 1: Walter Mathow was in sheer agony, but he realized through 513 00:36:49,075 --> 00:36:52,235 Speaker 1: the fog of pain that one of the oldest jokes 514 00:36:52,275 --> 00:36:56,035 Speaker 1: in show business was actually happening to him. Finally, in 515 00:36:56,155 --> 00:37:01,155 Speaker 1: real life, Am I comfortable? I make a nice living? 516 00:37:01,275 --> 00:37:07,155 Speaker 1: Jack ow? Oh. My friend Norman Lloyd used to go 517 00:37:07,235 --> 00:37:09,635 Speaker 1: hiking with Walter Mathou in the Hollywood Hills, and he 518 00:37:09,635 --> 00:37:12,835 Speaker 1: told me that one day Walter was unusually quiet. The 519 00:37:12,915 --> 00:37:15,755 Speaker 1: two had gone a mile or so, and Mathou suddenly 520 00:37:15,795 --> 00:37:19,355 Speaker 1: stopped and grabbed Norman by the arm. Normy, did you 521 00:37:19,435 --> 00:37:22,995 Speaker 1: know at the end Beethoven was so deaf he thought 522 00:37:22,995 --> 00:37:27,235 Speaker 1: he was painting. Norman smiled, snorted, and started to say 523 00:37:27,275 --> 00:37:28,995 Speaker 1: that it was the dumbest thing he'd ever heard. But 524 00:37:29,115 --> 00:37:32,035 Speaker 1: halfway through Norman's sentence, Mathow had already turned away from 525 00:37:32,115 --> 00:37:37,355 Speaker 1: him and was back walking again. Another mile passed in silence, 526 00:37:37,355 --> 00:37:39,995 Speaker 1: and now Mathou slowed down and faced his friend Normany, 527 00:37:40,035 --> 00:37:42,995 Speaker 1: this is important. I have something to tell you, Norman said. 528 00:37:43,035 --> 00:37:45,595 Speaker 1: His heart skipped. He thought there was something wrong. What 529 00:37:45,715 --> 00:37:48,875 Speaker 1: is it, Walter? Did you know at the end Beethoven 530 00:37:48,955 --> 00:37:52,515 Speaker 1: was so deaf he thought he was painting? Now, Norman 531 00:37:52,595 --> 00:37:55,915 Speaker 1: just shook his head. As they completed their five mile 532 00:37:55,995 --> 00:37:58,995 Speaker 1: hike through the hills, Mathou stopped roughly once every mile 533 00:37:59,275 --> 00:38:02,195 Speaker 1: and repeated the same line, did you know at the 534 00:38:02,275 --> 00:38:04,475 Speaker 1: end Beethoven was so deaf he thought he was painting? 535 00:38:05,675 --> 00:38:09,475 Speaker 1: Norman told me it totally unnerved me. When we got 536 00:38:09,515 --> 00:38:11,435 Speaker 1: back to where we parked our cars, I felt like 537 00:38:11,475 --> 00:38:13,875 Speaker 1: I had to avenge myself somehow, so I bleted out 538 00:38:13,915 --> 00:38:17,675 Speaker 1: to him, Walt, did you know at the end Beethoven 539 00:38:17,835 --> 00:38:22,275 Speaker 1: was so deaf he thought he was painting? Norman said, 540 00:38:22,275 --> 00:38:25,755 Speaker 1: Mathow looked at him, screwing his great craggy face into 541 00:38:25,755 --> 00:38:29,515 Speaker 1: a resentful sneer as he did, what the hell are 542 00:38:29,555 --> 00:38:32,395 Speaker 1: you talking about? Thought he was painting. That's the dumbest 543 00:38:32,395 --> 00:38:36,875 Speaker 1: thing I ever heard, as I said. I met Walter 544 00:38:36,955 --> 00:38:40,115 Speaker 1: Mathow once when I was a local sportscaster in Los Angeles. 545 00:38:40,195 --> 00:38:42,595 Speaker 1: I was invited to host a charity event at the 546 00:38:42,635 --> 00:38:46,595 Speaker 1: Hollywood Park racetrack. I ordinarily did not do these things 547 00:38:47,075 --> 00:38:48,915 Speaker 1: because to do them I would have to take the 548 00:38:48,995 --> 00:38:53,195 Speaker 1: day off. But when the organizer said, oh, and Walter 549 00:38:53,275 --> 00:38:57,635 Speaker 1: Mathow will be there, I just asked for directions. First 550 00:38:57,635 --> 00:38:59,835 Speaker 1: time I had ever imagined what it was like to 551 00:38:59,915 --> 00:39:03,155 Speaker 1: be a sports writer or to be a sports broadcaster. 552 00:39:03,595 --> 00:39:05,395 Speaker 1: It was when I was nine years old and I 553 00:39:05,435 --> 00:39:09,275 Speaker 1: saw Walter Mathow portray Oscar Madison in the movie The 554 00:39:09,355 --> 00:39:11,955 Speaker 1: Odd Couple. It was exactly what I wanted to be 555 00:39:12,475 --> 00:39:15,555 Speaker 1: and where I wanted to live and how I wanted 556 00:39:15,555 --> 00:39:18,955 Speaker 1: to eat. And I wanted to get a chance to 557 00:39:19,155 --> 00:39:23,355 Speaker 1: tell him that. So at the charity dinner, I screwed 558 00:39:23,395 --> 00:39:26,075 Speaker 1: up my courage, I introduced myself. I told him all 559 00:39:26,155 --> 00:39:29,835 Speaker 1: that and he replied, I hate you. I was so 560 00:39:29,955 --> 00:39:36,035 Speaker 1: crushed I almost passed out, and clearly Walter Mathow recognized this. No, no, no, 561 00:39:36,075 --> 00:39:38,195 Speaker 1: I don't hate your work. I watch you every night 562 00:39:38,235 --> 00:39:41,315 Speaker 1: on Channel two Action News, you and Jim Lampley and 563 00:39:41,435 --> 00:39:44,595 Speaker 1: Breed Lampley and Jim Lampley. But I hate the fact 564 00:39:44,635 --> 00:39:46,635 Speaker 1: that you don't have an accent of any kind. Where 565 00:39:46,635 --> 00:39:51,475 Speaker 1: are you raised? Iowa? I did not know where this 566 00:39:51,555 --> 00:39:54,715 Speaker 1: conversation was going. I said, I was from the Bronx originally, 567 00:39:55,035 --> 00:39:58,635 Speaker 1: Is that right? I'm from Brooklyn? Could you tell the 568 00:39:58,675 --> 00:40:00,995 Speaker 1: hell kind of speech teacher? Did you have? You sound like? 569 00:40:01,035 --> 00:40:04,075 Speaker 1: Iowa explained, My father had said that if I wanted 570 00:40:04,115 --> 00:40:06,515 Speaker 1: to go into broad casting, I could not talk quote 571 00:40:06,555 --> 00:40:09,275 Speaker 1: like the rest of us. Walter looked away from me 572 00:40:09,315 --> 00:40:11,635 Speaker 1: and then back, and he said, very wise words. Your 573 00:40:11,635 --> 00:40:17,635 Speaker 1: father was a speech teacher. No, I said, architect. His 574 00:40:17,755 --> 00:40:21,395 Speaker 1: eyes flared, How in the hell does that work? I 575 00:40:21,435 --> 00:40:23,915 Speaker 1: started to explain when it suddenly dawned on me that 576 00:40:23,955 --> 00:40:27,115 Speaker 1: we were discussing this only because he said he hated 577 00:40:27,115 --> 00:40:30,915 Speaker 1: the fact that I did not have an accent. I 578 00:40:30,955 --> 00:40:34,195 Speaker 1: asked him why, no accent means I can't do an 579 00:40:34,195 --> 00:40:40,395 Speaker 1: impression of you? Well? This caused me to pause impressions. 580 00:40:40,875 --> 00:40:45,635 Speaker 1: This is nineteen ninety one. In nineteen ninety one, Walter 581 00:40:45,715 --> 00:40:49,315 Speaker 1: Mathow was one of the top five most impersonated voices 582 00:40:49,675 --> 00:40:55,315 Speaker 1: in America. Anybody who did impressions, good or bad, professional 583 00:40:55,435 --> 00:41:00,115 Speaker 1: or amateur, anybody did a Walter Mathow. You did your 584 00:41:00,115 --> 00:41:04,755 Speaker 1: Sammy Davis, your Howard Cosell, your Walter Mathow. Wait. I 585 00:41:04,755 --> 00:41:11,275 Speaker 1: said to him, you do impressions of sportscasters? Yes, he said, proudly. 586 00:41:11,555 --> 00:41:16,355 Speaker 1: Would you like to hear them? I said, I'll pay cash. 587 00:41:16,675 --> 00:41:19,195 Speaker 1: Don't normally do these, but seeing you are in the business, 588 00:41:19,235 --> 00:41:22,715 Speaker 1: I will just for you. I practiced these a lot. 589 00:41:22,755 --> 00:41:26,155 Speaker 1: By the way, twenty years later, Norman Lloyd confirmed for 590 00:41:26,315 --> 00:41:31,915 Speaker 1: me Mathout did do sportscaster impressions. He did practice them 591 00:41:31,955 --> 00:41:35,795 Speaker 1: a lot. This was not some sort of bit. Now. 592 00:41:35,835 --> 00:41:38,475 Speaker 1: Back in nineteen ninety one, Mathow cleared his throat, he 593 00:41:38,515 --> 00:41:41,315 Speaker 1: shook his shoulders. Let's start with the best, and it 594 00:41:41,435 --> 00:41:46,555 Speaker 1: sounds something like this, Hello, everybody, this is Vin Scully 595 00:41:46,555 --> 00:41:50,315 Speaker 1: at Dodger Stadium. What do you think? It sounded exactly 596 00:41:50,435 --> 00:41:55,115 Speaker 1: like Walter Mathow. Didn't sound like Vin Scully. It didn't 597 00:41:55,115 --> 00:41:58,755 Speaker 1: even sound like a bad impression of Vin Scully. It 598 00:41:58,795 --> 00:42:01,115 Speaker 1: didn't even sound like a bad impression of Walter Mathow. 599 00:42:01,155 --> 00:42:07,395 Speaker 1: It was just Walter Mathow talking. Thinking quickly, I said, uncanny, 600 00:42:07,435 --> 00:42:10,635 Speaker 1: mister Mathow, thank you. I work on Vinnie especially had 601 00:42:10,675 --> 00:42:12,875 Speaker 1: He's my favorite. Now the big mouth. Hello again, This 602 00:42:12,955 --> 00:42:15,195 Speaker 1: is Howard co Sell at ringside. How about that one? 603 00:42:15,195 --> 00:42:19,835 Speaker 1: I think I got most of the inflection. Goodness, mister Mathow. 604 00:42:19,915 --> 00:42:22,675 Speaker 1: It's like he's in the room with us. This went 605 00:42:22,715 --> 00:42:28,035 Speaker 1: on for many minutes. Kurt Goudie, Chick, hern Al Michaels, 606 00:42:28,075 --> 00:42:32,435 Speaker 1: several local LA radio announcers. I cursed myself for not 607 00:42:32,475 --> 00:42:35,235 Speaker 1: having brought a tape recorder with me. Walter Mathow did 608 00:42:35,275 --> 00:42:41,595 Speaker 1: impressions of sportscasters and they were all terrible, but he 609 00:42:41,635 --> 00:42:43,475 Speaker 1: said he couldn't do one of me because I had 610 00:42:43,475 --> 00:42:48,915 Speaker 1: no accent. I was complimented and crushed after a very 611 00:42:48,995 --> 00:42:51,475 Speaker 1: nice event, saluting his friend and neighbor in the front 612 00:42:51,515 --> 00:42:55,155 Speaker 1: row seats at the Laker Games, doctor Robert Curlin. We 613 00:42:55,235 --> 00:42:57,515 Speaker 1: called it an evening, and as everybody got up to leave, 614 00:42:57,595 --> 00:43:00,475 Speaker 1: I asked Walter Mathow to autograph my program from the 615 00:43:00,515 --> 00:43:04,275 Speaker 1: dinner my pleasure. He said, nice work tonight, but I 616 00:43:04,275 --> 00:43:06,475 Speaker 1: still don't get how your father the architect was also 617 00:43:06,515 --> 00:43:10,275 Speaker 1: a speech teacher, but never mind. In the program, he 618 00:43:10,315 --> 00:43:18,475 Speaker 1: wrote this, listen, Keith quit kidding around, No, don't, Walter Mathow. 619 00:43:19,675 --> 00:43:23,195 Speaker 1: It was lovely. And then he did something that took 620 00:43:23,275 --> 00:43:26,155 Speaker 1: my breath away, something I have tried to do anytime 621 00:43:26,195 --> 00:43:31,275 Speaker 1: circumstances permitted me to. He picked up his program, he 622 00:43:31,395 --> 00:43:38,955 Speaker 1: handed it to me, and he said, now you sign mine. 623 00:43:39,115 --> 00:43:43,435 Speaker 1: Can you believe that I only met him the one time, 624 00:43:44,275 --> 00:43:48,115 Speaker 1: but that gesture stayed with me to such a degree 625 00:43:48,235 --> 00:43:51,635 Speaker 1: that this happened nine years later. I woke up at 626 00:43:51,635 --> 00:43:53,635 Speaker 1: the crack of dawn to go host the baseball Game 627 00:43:53,675 --> 00:43:55,995 Speaker 1: of the Week at Fox Studios in LA It was 628 00:43:56,035 --> 00:44:00,315 Speaker 1: Saturday morning, July first, two thousand.

Since we're talking Walter Mathow and his impressions. 634 00:44:38,675 --> 00:44:41,875 Speaker 1: My impression of Walter Mathow my favorite line from the 635 00:44:41,915 --> 00:44:44,595 Speaker 1: movie The Odd Couple from the first day I saw it, 636 00:44:45,355 --> 00:44:47,675 Speaker 1: eight years old, and I started saying this in school? 637 00:44:48,475 --> 00:44:52,715 Speaker 1: You ready, Why doesn't he hear me?
