1 00:00:04,835 --> 00:00:21,355 Speaker 1: Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. No 2 00:00:21,395 --> 00:00:25,515 Speaker 1: one in this world, so far as I know, and 3 00:00:25,595 --> 00:00:28,875 Speaker 1: I have searched the records for years and employed agents 4 00:00:28,875 --> 00:00:32,835 Speaker 1: to help me, has ever lost money by underestimating the 5 00:00:32,835 --> 00:00:37,555 Speaker 1: intelligence of the great masses of the plane people. Nor 6 00:00:37,595 --> 00:00:41,635 Speaker 1: has anyone ever lost public office. Thereby, the mistake that 7 00:00:41,755 --> 00:00:45,675 Speaker 1: is made always runs the other way. Because the plain 8 00:00:45,835 --> 00:00:48,675 Speaker 1: people are able to speak and understand, and even in 9 00:00:48,715 --> 00:00:52,435 Speaker 1: many cases to read and write, it is assumed that 10 00:00:52,515 --> 00:00:56,595 Speaker 1: they have ideas in their heads and an appetite for more. 11 00:00:57,195 --> 00:01:03,915 Speaker 1: This assumption is a folly. Hl Menkin September nineteen twenty six, 12 00:01:04,435 --> 00:01:08,475 Speaker 1: attributed to Barnum, or even movie mogul Louis b. Mayor 13 00:01:08,995 --> 00:01:12,995 Speaker 1: or now to Trump. The shortened version of that, of course, 14 00:01:13,075 --> 00:01:15,795 Speaker 1: is nobody ever went broke under estimating the intelligence of 15 00:01:15,835 --> 00:01:19,915 Speaker 1: the American public. I apologize to you. I should have 16 00:01:19,955 --> 00:01:23,355 Speaker 1: seen this coming Sunday night when I tripped over that 17 00:01:23,595 --> 00:01:28,155 Speaker 1: Time's Siena poll from last month of Hispanic voters. Trump, 18 00:01:28,555 --> 00:01:32,475 Speaker 1: who can now lay claim to being the Grover Cleveland 19 00:01:32,635 --> 00:01:38,235 Speaker 1: of our time, runs on anti immigrant nativism and hate, 20 00:01:38,715 --> 00:01:42,795 Speaker 1: anti Hispanic, anti Latino, anti Mexican anti Puerto Rican, anti 21 00:01:42,955 --> 00:01:47,875 Speaker 1: Latin American, clearly has plans for internment camps, clearly has 22 00:01:47,915 --> 00:01:53,875 Speaker 1: plans for retroactively changing the status of citizenship, including of 23 00:01:54,035 --> 00:01:57,515 Speaker 1: kids who were born here. People who today are fully 24 00:01:57,795 --> 00:02:02,915 Speaker 1: and legally here will not be tomorrow. And asked by 25 00:02:02,955 --> 00:02:06,635 Speaker 1: the pollsters from Sienna, when you hear about this, do 26 00:02:06,675 --> 00:02:11,955 Speaker 1: you think he's talking about you? About how bad immigrants are, 27 00:02:12,035 --> 00:02:16,275 Speaker 1: how bad Mexicans are, how bad Hispanics are, how he's 28 00:02:16,315 --> 00:02:19,715 Speaker 1: going to get them all removed, that they're poisoning the bloodstream. 29 00:02:19,995 --> 00:02:22,315 Speaker 1: When asked by the pollsters, when you hear this, do 30 00:02:22,355 --> 00:02:24,475 Speaker 1: you think he's talking about you? Two thirds of Latino 31 00:02:24,555 --> 00:02:28,875 Speaker 1: said oh no, which is short for oh no, He's 32 00:02:28,875 --> 00:02:32,835 Speaker 1: not going to eat my face. For those under thirty 33 00:02:32,915 --> 00:02:36,035 Speaker 1: in this demographic, the number was what seventy one percent? 34 00:02:36,115 --> 00:02:39,235 Speaker 1: Oh no, He's not talking about me. He means other Latinos. 35 00:02:40,955 --> 00:02:43,715 Speaker 1: Trump won Latino males by eleven points. And I have 36 00:02:43,755 --> 00:02:46,915 Speaker 1: two words to say to them, and they are on 37 00:02:46,995 --> 00:02:50,875 Speaker 1: behalf of the Trump administration, and the words are, by now, 38 00:02:51,875 --> 00:02:55,435 Speaker 1: he will deport people from the same place you or 39 00:02:55,475 --> 00:02:58,875 Speaker 1: your folks are from. He will deport people who have 40 00:02:58,915 --> 00:03:03,075 Speaker 1: the same names you do, he will deport your relatives 41 00:03:03,075 --> 00:03:06,275 Speaker 1: and friends. And when when he runs out, he will 42 00:03:06,475 --> 00:03:11,395 Speaker 1: change the laws and he will deport you and your 43 00:03:11,435 --> 00:03:19,795 Speaker 1: parents and your children. Because he's nuts, because he employs 44 00:03:20,035 --> 00:03:26,555 Speaker 1: a lunatic named Stephen Miller who violently, irrationally, homingly hates 45 00:03:26,795 --> 00:03:29,235 Speaker 1: Hispanic people. You know who I'm talking about, the guy 46 00:03:29,275 --> 00:03:33,235 Speaker 1: with the face that looks like a tiny penis. He 47 00:03:33,355 --> 00:03:37,195 Speaker 1: was turned down by a Hispanic girl for a date 48 00:03:37,275 --> 00:03:39,915 Speaker 1: in high school, or a girl he liked went out 49 00:03:39,955 --> 00:03:43,235 Speaker 1: with a Hispanic guy instead. I can't remember the details 50 00:03:43,235 --> 00:03:46,155 Speaker 1: of the story. A fella I know who went to 51 00:03:46,195 --> 00:03:48,715 Speaker 1: school with him told me once it's one of those 52 00:03:48,755 --> 00:03:52,555 Speaker 1: two things. This originates from all of that. So he 53 00:03:52,675 --> 00:03:58,835 Speaker 1: hates Hispanics exactly the way Hitler hated Jews, and Trump 54 00:03:58,875 --> 00:04:03,355 Speaker 1: who hates them, but less fervently because hating them takes 55 00:04:03,355 --> 00:04:08,395 Speaker 1: time away from talking about himself. He listens to Stephen Miller, 56 00:04:09,035 --> 00:04:12,675 Speaker 1: and he hears more votes. And not only does he 57 00:04:12,715 --> 00:04:15,075 Speaker 1: get elected president while his brains are draining out his 58 00:04:15,115 --> 00:04:18,155 Speaker 1: ears like a running yeast infection, but the very people 59 00:04:18,195 --> 00:04:22,475 Speaker 1: he is going to torture and deport vote for him. 60 00:04:23,155 --> 00:04:29,755 Speaker 1: Oh no, he's not talking about me. No one in 61 00:04:29,795 --> 00:04:31,515 Speaker 1: this world, so far as I know, and I have 62 00:04:31,595 --> 00:04:34,275 Speaker 1: searched the records for years and employed agents to help me, 63 00:04:34,315 --> 00:04:37,315 Speaker 1: has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the 64 00:04:37,315 --> 00:04:42,355 Speaker 1: great masses of the plain people. Or you can quote 65 00:04:42,355 --> 00:04:45,195 Speaker 1: the George Carlin line ran into Bob Costas on Fifth 66 00:04:45,235 --> 00:04:49,475 Speaker 1: Avenue Tuesday. Bob quotes our friend George. Remember what he 67 00:04:49,515 --> 00:04:52,035 Speaker 1: said about the intelligence of the average American. Think how 68 00:04:52,155 --> 00:04:55,675 Speaker 1: stupid the average American really is, and then remember that 69 00:04:55,795 --> 00:05:02,995 Speaker 1: fifty percent are more stupid than that guy Latino males 70 00:05:02,995 --> 00:05:06,235 Speaker 1: plus eleven for Trump. It would be funny if it 71 00:05:06,235 --> 00:05:09,395 Speaker 1: weren't true. So if you voted for him and you 72 00:05:09,435 --> 00:05:16,715 Speaker 1: aren't a white guy, two words by now. I actually 73 00:05:16,755 --> 00:05:20,115 Speaker 1: had one belly laugh since election night, and I have 74 00:05:20,155 --> 00:05:22,835 Speaker 1: the belly to prove it. There's a guy, Tim Carney 75 00:05:24,315 --> 00:05:27,395 Speaker 1: fitting name writes for the Washington Examiner, which is a 76 00:05:27,435 --> 00:05:31,515 Speaker 1: fascist propagandist rag which means it's headline writers are more 77 00:05:31,515 --> 00:05:33,995 Speaker 1: honest than the ones that the New York Times are. 78 00:05:34,835 --> 00:05:37,555 Speaker 1: And this is what Tim Carney wrote before the election. 79 00:05:38,675 --> 00:05:42,435 Speaker 1: Though I'm not voting for Trump, I might be rooting 80 00:05:42,595 --> 00:05:45,995 Speaker 1: for him, though one never knows until one checks one's 81 00:05:46,035 --> 00:05:49,835 Speaker 1: own heart as the results start coming in. But the 82 00:05:49,835 --> 00:05:52,875 Speaker 1: top two reasons I'd be happy if he wins are 83 00:05:53,315 --> 00:05:58,395 Speaker 1: One then he won't try to overturn the result. Two, 84 00:05:59,035 --> 00:06:05,915 Speaker 1: then he can't run again. Oh, the upbeat positive approach. 85 00:06:06,315 --> 00:06:11,715 Speaker 1: The dictator is half full, not half empty idea brilliant. 86 00:06:12,315 --> 00:06:14,835 Speaker 1: Thank god we elected Trump so he won't try another 87 00:06:14,995 --> 00:06:19,275 Speaker 1: coup and kill people. Yes, that's worth four years of 88 00:06:19,315 --> 00:06:23,275 Speaker 1: hell or however long until Trump dies, which has to 89 00:06:23,315 --> 00:06:26,435 Speaker 1: be soon. He's been acting like a melting statue and 90 00:06:26,475 --> 00:06:30,355 Speaker 1: looking like one for months. And then, of course we 91 00:06:30,395 --> 00:06:33,995 Speaker 1: get President Vance and during Trump's funeral, while they're standing 92 00:06:33,995 --> 00:06:37,995 Speaker 1: there saluting dead Trump while they're playing the anthem or 93 00:06:38,115 --> 00:06:41,995 Speaker 1: YMCA by the village people. While they're doing that, while 94 00:06:41,995 --> 00:06:46,155 Speaker 1: they're standing there, footin simultaneously strikes Poland and Chechia, and 95 00:06:46,195 --> 00:06:51,235 Speaker 1: while Vance literally pees his pants. That video will make 96 00:06:51,275 --> 00:06:53,275 Speaker 1: George Bush on nine to eleven look like Attila the 97 00:06:53,355 --> 00:06:59,155 Speaker 1: Hunt planning war games. Anyway, the second half of what 98 00:06:59,275 --> 00:07:02,035 Speaker 1: this guy Carnei wrote shows that the he won't eat 99 00:07:02,155 --> 00:07:07,835 Speaker 1: my face mentality transcends political division. Conservatives can't get their 100 00:07:08,075 --> 00:07:11,475 Speaker 1: heads out of their asses long enough to see the 101 00:07:11,635 --> 00:07:19,035 Speaker 1: world clearly, even for like thirty two seconds. Of course, 102 00:07:19,395 --> 00:07:21,755 Speaker 1: soon to be dead. Trump, if he doesn't stroke out 103 00:07:21,995 --> 00:07:24,475 Speaker 1: or his heart doesn't attack him first, is running in 104 00:07:24,555 --> 00:07:27,315 Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight. I mean, it may be a stunt 105 00:07:27,435 --> 00:07:30,875 Speaker 1: election because he might have eliminated the real ones by then. 106 00:07:32,115 --> 00:07:36,395 Speaker 1: But that's the point. He can't leave office, whatever happens 107 00:07:36,435 --> 00:07:40,435 Speaker 1: to these charges against him. If he leaves office, they 108 00:07:40,555 --> 00:07:43,715 Speaker 1: prosecute him. Did you see anybody in the mainstream press 109 00:07:43,795 --> 00:07:49,195 Speaker 1: write this yesterday? Even now, they're still just rewriting the 110 00:07:49,235 --> 00:07:51,875 Speaker 1: press releases. Oh, he's only going to serve the one 111 00:07:52,555 --> 00:07:58,475 Speaker 1: term because he can't serve the conservative carnie. They're all carnies, 112 00:07:59,795 --> 00:08:03,475 Speaker 1: doesn't know. All the other conservatives are getting their arguments 113 00:08:03,515 --> 00:08:06,795 Speaker 1: ready that the two term limit will not apply to 114 00:08:06,955 --> 00:08:11,635 Speaker 1: Trump because well, let's make up some bullshit. How about 115 00:08:13,155 --> 00:08:18,475 Speaker 1: the twenty second amendment means two consecutive terms. That was 116 00:08:18,515 --> 00:08:20,795 Speaker 1: a popular one they were floating around at the beginning 117 00:08:20,835 --> 00:08:24,875 Speaker 1: of the year. It's two consecutive terms, and then you 118 00:08:24,915 --> 00:08:27,595 Speaker 1: can't serve again. But you had two non consecutive terms, 119 00:08:27,755 --> 00:08:31,195 Speaker 1: could you could follow the second one with a third term? 120 00:08:31,595 --> 00:08:35,635 Speaker 1: I'm sure that's what they meant, right, Alito, and of 121 00:08:35,715 --> 00:08:39,395 Speaker 1: course the Supreme Court will rubber stamp that. That's what 122 00:08:39,515 --> 00:08:44,235 Speaker 1: Alito is there for. That and the insurrectionist wife's collection 123 00:08:44,395 --> 00:08:50,595 Speaker 1: of anti American flags. Danny can't run again, moron, I 124 00:08:50,675 --> 00:08:53,955 Speaker 1: have to tap the sign one more time. Yale historian 125 00:08:54,035 --> 00:08:58,635 Speaker 1: Tim Snyder. Trump is in the classic dictatorial position. He 126 00:08:58,795 --> 00:09:02,875 Speaker 1: needs to die in bed holding all executive power to 127 00:09:03,075 --> 00:09:05,355 Speaker 1: stay out of prison. This it means that he will 128 00:09:05,395 --> 00:09:08,715 Speaker 1: do whatever he can to gain power, and once in power, 129 00:09:08,995 --> 00:09:11,915 Speaker 1: will do all that he can to never let it go. 130 00:09:12,515 --> 00:09:17,355 Speaker 1: This is a basic incentive structure which underlies everything else. 131 00:09:17,475 --> 00:09:25,595 Speaker 1: It is entirely inconsistent with democracy. Unquote. Oh, and about 132 00:09:25,675 --> 00:09:28,315 Speaker 1: the charges against him, it's not enough that Trump now 133 00:09:28,435 --> 00:09:31,635 Speaker 1: owns the Justice Department and will have the new attorney general. 134 00:09:32,595 --> 00:09:36,875 Speaker 1: I believe that's going to be silk fire Jack Smith. 135 00:09:37,875 --> 00:09:40,955 Speaker 1: Jack Smith is reportedly now trying to wind down his 136 00:09:41,115 --> 00:09:45,475 Speaker 1: prosecution of Trump for you know, treason. I believe that 137 00:09:45,595 --> 00:09:48,355 Speaker 1: there's actually a good legal reason for Jack Smith to 138 00:09:48,435 --> 00:09:51,715 Speaker 1: do this himself, rather than to stand there and say, 139 00:09:51,795 --> 00:09:57,355 Speaker 1: don't tread on me. That if he can withdraw wind 140 00:09:57,595 --> 00:10:00,195 Speaker 1: down the prosecution, he may be able to preserve the 141 00:10:00,355 --> 00:10:03,755 Speaker 1: charges for four years from now. I'm not sure about that. 142 00:10:04,075 --> 00:10:06,995 Speaker 1: I haven't seen anything definitive about that anywhere, and I 143 00:10:07,075 --> 00:10:11,195 Speaker 1: went looking. I am now as MENCN is looking for 144 00:10:11,315 --> 00:10:14,915 Speaker 1: the guy who went bankrupt underestimating the intelligence of the 145 00:10:15,035 --> 00:10:19,035 Speaker 1: plane folk. I'm now joining him in my endless quest 146 00:10:19,115 --> 00:10:24,035 Speaker 1: for information that I cannot find. In any event, what 147 00:10:24,315 --> 00:10:27,155 Speaker 1: Smith is or is not doing, what Trump will or 148 00:10:27,195 --> 00:10:30,875 Speaker 1: will not do to Smith is insufficient for Trump's henchman 149 00:10:31,275 --> 00:10:35,235 Speaker 1: and his old Attorney General, Bill Barr. That's right. I 150 00:10:35,275 --> 00:10:37,635 Speaker 1: had Bill Barr is my attorney general, and then later 151 00:10:37,835 --> 00:10:40,315 Speaker 1: Silk from Diamond and Silk. I wanted them both, but 152 00:10:40,435 --> 00:10:46,595 Speaker 1: Diamond is dead. Bill Barr wants the charges against Trump 153 00:10:46,835 --> 00:10:51,355 Speaker 1: formally dropped because whatever Trump has got on Bar, it 154 00:10:51,515 --> 00:10:56,355 Speaker 1: still works. I mean, he issued a statement yesterday. Listen 155 00:10:56,435 --> 00:11:01,115 Speaker 1: to this. It's like eight thousand words. American people have 156 00:11:01,195 --> 00:11:03,995 Speaker 1: rendered their verdict on President Trump and decisively chosen him 157 00:11:04,075 --> 00:11:05,875 Speaker 1: to lead the con for the next four years. They 158 00:11:05,955 --> 00:11:08,075 Speaker 1: chose him to lead us with full knowledge of the 159 00:11:08,115 --> 00:11:10,755 Speaker 1: claims against him by prosecutors around the country. I think 160 00:11:10,795 --> 00:11:14,035 Speaker 1: Attorney General Garland and the state prosecutors should respect the 161 00:11:14,115 --> 00:11:17,955 Speaker 1: people's decision and dismiss the cases against President Trump. Now, 162 00:11:18,195 --> 00:11:20,995 Speaker 1: the Department of Justice has four years been pursuing President 163 00:11:21,035 --> 00:11:24,755 Speaker 1: Trump in cases asserting novel legal theories have already been 164 00:11:24,835 --> 00:11:28,275 Speaker 1: gravely weakened by a series of court decisions. Those claims, 165 00:11:28,355 --> 00:11:32,435 Speaker 1: like the state prosecutions plainly brought for political purposes, blah 166 00:11:32,595 --> 00:11:36,155 Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. He has the goods on me, 167 00:11:36,435 --> 00:11:39,755 Speaker 1: and they will tell everybody that I know what I 168 00:11:39,915 --> 00:11:43,395 Speaker 1: did and the name of the youth organization to which 169 00:11:43,435 --> 00:11:47,795 Speaker 1: they belonged. If I don't continue to felate Donald Trump 170 00:11:47,875 --> 00:11:53,635 Speaker 1: whenever possible. Signed Bill Barr, because yes, Bill, that's how 171 00:11:53,675 --> 00:11:58,355 Speaker 1: we settle prosecutions in this country. Hold an election. You've 172 00:11:58,435 --> 00:12:01,995 Speaker 1: been charged with attempted murder. Let's have America vote on it. 173 00:12:04,035 --> 00:12:10,395 Speaker 1: Lego is Star Search from the eighties and nineties. I 174 00:12:10,475 --> 00:12:12,195 Speaker 1: think Bill Barr, who is, by the way, one of 175 00:12:12,235 --> 00:12:16,435 Speaker 1: our greatest criminals, should be investigated by the International Court 176 00:12:16,475 --> 00:12:24,075 Speaker 1: of Justice and the International Whaling Commission. And one more 177 00:12:24,195 --> 00:12:28,435 Speaker 1: story in the no f's are given any further edition 178 00:12:28,595 --> 00:12:31,835 Speaker 1: of Countdown, the first of many. This is one of 179 00:12:31,915 --> 00:12:36,275 Speaker 1: the great examples of cowardice in American history. This is 180 00:12:36,435 --> 00:12:40,435 Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos who stood up to Trumpian blackmail eight years 181 00:12:40,475 --> 00:12:45,035 Speaker 1: ago at the cost of like a billion dollars when 182 00:12:45,075 --> 00:12:47,675 Speaker 1: they had him cheating on his wife and they said, 183 00:12:47,715 --> 00:12:50,675 Speaker 1: we won't print it, but you have to support Trump 184 00:12:50,715 --> 00:12:53,275 Speaker 1: in the Washington Post, and he went, no, I'm giving 185 00:12:53,315 --> 00:12:57,715 Speaker 1: the money to my wife instead. And then with or 186 00:12:57,795 --> 00:13:02,715 Speaker 1: without more blackmail. This year, Jeff Bezos bent over in 187 00:13:02,795 --> 00:13:05,475 Speaker 1: front of the fascists and said take me, I'm yours 188 00:13:05,875 --> 00:13:09,595 Speaker 1: and killed an endorsement of Kamala Harrison the Washington Post. 189 00:13:09,875 --> 00:13:11,915 Speaker 1: Not that it would have been decisive, not that it 190 00:13:11,955 --> 00:13:15,915 Speaker 1: would have moved twenty votes, but the point was, just 191 00:13:16,715 --> 00:13:20,155 Speaker 1: stand up. Put something once in your life ahead of 192 00:13:20,475 --> 00:13:25,435 Speaker 1: e fing money, just once, because if this is your plan, 193 00:13:25,795 --> 00:13:29,395 Speaker 1: in that last moment of consciousness before you die, you 194 00:13:29,595 --> 00:13:34,315 Speaker 1: calculate how much money you're worth, you've wasted your entire life. 195 00:13:36,475 --> 00:13:38,875 Speaker 1: And if there is some force in the universe, is 196 00:13:39,075 --> 00:13:41,395 Speaker 1: there is some intelligence in the universe, if there is 197 00:13:41,475 --> 00:13:44,275 Speaker 1: some design or creation in the universe, and that's your 198 00:13:44,355 --> 00:13:47,555 Speaker 1: last thought, I would assume you're going to hell. Jeff Bezos, 199 00:13:48,875 --> 00:13:53,795 Speaker 1: big congratulations. This son of a bitch writes yesterday to 200 00:13:53,955 --> 00:13:56,955 Speaker 1: our forty fifth and now forty seventh presidents on an 201 00:13:56,995 --> 00:14:03,195 Speaker 1: extraordinary political comeback and decisive victory. No nation has bigger opportunities. 202 00:14:03,435 --> 00:14:07,915 Speaker 1: Wishing re old Donald Trump all success in leading and 203 00:14:08,195 --> 00:14:14,275 Speaker 1: uniting the America we all love. Oh my god, what 204 00:14:14,675 --> 00:14:21,075 Speaker 1: an asshole, What a weasel asshole? Wishing real Donald Trump 205 00:14:21,395 --> 00:14:25,515 Speaker 1: all success and that he doesn't expose me or kill 206 00:14:25,635 --> 00:14:29,355 Speaker 1: me or whatever he told me he'd do to me. 207 00:14:32,115 --> 00:14:36,355 Speaker 1: Maybe Trump has something on Lauren Sanchez, like an RFK 208 00:14:36,595 --> 00:14:40,395 Speaker 1: Junior Olivia's story or something who knows only. Of course, 209 00:14:40,435 --> 00:14:44,035 Speaker 1: given Lauren Sanchez, it would have taken Trump like an 210 00:14:44,115 --> 00:14:46,475 Speaker 1: hour just to completely list all the things they would 211 00:14:46,475 --> 00:14:51,355 Speaker 1: have had on Lauren Sanchez. It is noted that after 212 00:14:51,475 --> 00:14:54,515 Speaker 1: Biden won in twenty twenty, Bezos did not congratulate him, 213 00:14:54,515 --> 00:14:59,395 Speaker 1: but in twenty sixteen he did congratulate Trump, and yet 214 00:14:59,435 --> 00:15:05,995 Speaker 1: we were all surprised when he sold out the Washington Post. Anyway, 215 00:15:06,515 --> 00:15:10,795 Speaker 1: this is not a tough fix here. Burn Amazon down 216 00:15:11,035 --> 00:15:14,395 Speaker 1: metaphorically speaking of course, I mean, if Bezos wants to, 217 00:15:14,515 --> 00:15:17,915 Speaker 1: as suggested, donate the Washington Post to a charitable trust, 218 00:15:18,275 --> 00:15:20,555 Speaker 1: along with the money to run it for X number 219 00:15:20,595 --> 00:15:25,755 Speaker 1: of years. Cool that mitigates. Otherwise F Jeff Bezos, F 220 00:15:26,035 --> 00:15:31,355 Speaker 1: Amazon I'd say we would all be best served by 221 00:15:31,395 --> 00:15:33,515 Speaker 1: looking down on him. But the little bastard is like 222 00:15:33,555 --> 00:15:37,035 Speaker 1: four foot nine as it is. Big congratulations to our 223 00:15:37,115 --> 00:15:40,835 Speaker 1: forty fifth and now forty seventh president on an extraordinary 224 00:15:40,875 --> 00:15:45,835 Speaker 1: political comeback. Christ what's next, your little shit? Your political 225 00:15:45,915 --> 00:15:49,115 Speaker 1: comeback soon to be dead Trump is more impressive than 226 00:15:49,195 --> 00:15:55,035 Speaker 1: Hitler's and Napoleon's combined. Congratulations on defeating democracy. Oh and 227 00:15:55,155 --> 00:15:59,555 Speaker 1: if you buy forty thousand Amazon brand pre fab no 228 00:15:59,755 --> 00:16:10,915 Speaker 1: assembly required concentration camps, it's free. Son of a bitch, 229 00:16:11,315 --> 00:16:16,395 Speaker 1: Son of a bitch. Jeff Bezos. A note about this podcast. 230 00:16:16,515 --> 00:16:21,155 Speaker 1: It will continue, but not right now, Gonna take the 231 00:16:21,315 --> 00:16:27,755 Speaker 1: weekend off. I do think the podcast has suffered from 232 00:16:27,835 --> 00:16:30,995 Speaker 1: being a little conservative. Needs to be a little bit 233 00:16:31,075 --> 00:16:34,595 Speaker 1: more pointed. It also needs to be not five days 234 00:16:34,595 --> 00:16:38,555 Speaker 1: a week. I'm getting old here, and probably not daily. 235 00:16:38,675 --> 00:16:42,075 Speaker 1: So let's say this. I'm still working on this. I'll 236 00:16:42,115 --> 00:16:43,915 Speaker 1: bring you at least two of these a week, and 237 00:16:44,155 --> 00:16:48,115 Speaker 1: definitely let's plan on this a new one every Monday morning. 238 00:16:48,875 --> 00:16:53,435 Speaker 1: Does that make sense? I mean, you don't want to 239 00:16:53,475 --> 00:16:56,555 Speaker 1: hear more about this anymore than I want to talk 240 00:16:56,635 --> 00:17:00,595 Speaker 1: about this endlessly. When something interesting happens something you may 241 00:17:00,675 --> 00:17:03,475 Speaker 1: not have heard, something that has struck some memory or 242 00:17:03,755 --> 00:17:06,075 Speaker 1: perhaps some insight within me. I will bring it to 243 00:17:06,115 --> 00:17:10,235 Speaker 1: you because Blutley, if the vice president had won, I 244 00:17:10,355 --> 00:17:14,395 Speaker 1: was going to retire, or at least semi retire. I 245 00:17:14,515 --> 00:17:17,395 Speaker 1: can't do that now, God damn it. I mean, I 246 00:17:17,515 --> 00:17:21,035 Speaker 1: need a nap. What I will do today is come 247 00:17:21,115 --> 00:17:23,275 Speaker 1: back with the second block, with a little more philosophy 248 00:17:23,315 --> 00:17:29,355 Speaker 1: on Trump climbing out of his crypt my lifeboat theory. Also, 249 00:17:29,395 --> 00:17:32,035 Speaker 1: I have an alternative plan here for what's ahead on 250 00:17:32,155 --> 00:17:34,355 Speaker 1: January twentieth, but I want to think it through a 251 00:17:34,395 --> 00:17:36,915 Speaker 1: little bit more. So I'm going to hold off and 252 00:17:37,035 --> 00:17:40,035 Speaker 1: i'll present that to you on Monday. With the caveat 253 00:17:40,155 --> 00:17:44,235 Speaker 1: right now that there are so many different ways to 254 00:17:44,435 --> 00:17:46,755 Speaker 1: prove that what I'm going to suggest will never happen, 255 00:17:46,955 --> 00:17:49,395 Speaker 1: but I should put it on the record anyway. And 256 00:17:49,515 --> 00:17:51,875 Speaker 1: maybe most importantly of all this, remember my story of 257 00:17:51,915 --> 00:17:55,835 Speaker 1: Little Kit, the new rescue puppy. Good news about Little Kit, 258 00:17:55,915 --> 00:18:04,195 Speaker 1: the new rescue puppy. That's next. This is countdown. So 259 00:18:04,235 --> 00:18:08,795 Speaker 1: I mentioned many many times that I'm old. I started 260 00:18:08,955 --> 00:18:14,235 Speaker 1: professionally full time in nineteen seventy nine. I mean that's 261 00:18:14,595 --> 00:18:19,035 Speaker 1: six decades worth of work. Not six decades, but in 262 00:18:19,395 --> 00:18:22,835 Speaker 1: six decades. And so the world of business that I 263 00:18:23,475 --> 00:18:27,755 Speaker 1: entered into in nineteen seventy nine is significantly different, was 264 00:18:27,875 --> 00:18:30,595 Speaker 1: significantly different than the one there is today. As bad 265 00:18:30,675 --> 00:18:35,675 Speaker 1: as it is now, as unfair, as misogynistic, as imbalanced 266 00:18:36,355 --> 00:18:39,555 Speaker 1: against women and members of minority groups as it is now, 267 00:18:40,875 --> 00:18:44,995 Speaker 1: it is much worse than my first job at UPI Audio. 268 00:18:45,435 --> 00:18:48,835 Speaker 1: I believe the total number of full time employees in 269 00:18:48,955 --> 00:18:52,715 Speaker 1: the New York office, which was headquarters, was twenty. There 270 00:18:52,795 --> 00:18:57,835 Speaker 1: was one woman she was not on the air, six 271 00:18:57,995 --> 00:19:01,555 Speaker 1: or seven newscasters, three sportscasters, and a business guy and 272 00:19:02,835 --> 00:19:05,275 Speaker 1: she was not on the air. The euro chief in 273 00:19:05,395 --> 00:19:10,715 Speaker 1: Washington was a woman. That was it. The next job 274 00:19:10,795 --> 00:19:12,995 Speaker 1: I had when I went to work for Charlie Steiner 275 00:19:13,035 --> 00:19:14,955 Speaker 1: at the RCAO Radio network when I was twenty two 276 00:19:15,035 --> 00:19:17,635 Speaker 1: years old, and this does apply to Trump. I'm not 277 00:19:17,795 --> 00:19:25,875 Speaker 1: just spewing out random information here. The second job was 278 00:19:26,035 --> 00:19:29,355 Speaker 1: much more egalitarian and forward looking and the head of 279 00:19:29,395 --> 00:19:32,355 Speaker 1: the operation, the program director, was a woman named Joe Interroante, 280 00:19:32,395 --> 00:19:35,995 Speaker 1: who was fabulous, and there were a lot of women 281 00:19:36,075 --> 00:19:39,675 Speaker 1: executives in the news on the news and great newscasters, 282 00:19:39,915 --> 00:19:43,275 Speaker 1: and young women and old newswomen, and it was really 283 00:19:43,435 --> 00:19:46,995 Speaker 1: very well balanced. But at some point somebody I knew 284 00:19:47,835 --> 00:19:50,515 Speaker 1: got a promotion. A woman got a promotion into a 285 00:19:50,555 --> 00:19:52,515 Speaker 1: department where there had not been a lot of women, 286 00:19:54,115 --> 00:19:58,035 Speaker 1: and there were two or three, I believe it was sales, 287 00:20:00,315 --> 00:20:02,675 Speaker 1: And as soon as she was promoted to running the 288 00:20:02,715 --> 00:20:08,915 Speaker 1: sales department, she fired all the other women. And I 289 00:20:09,155 --> 00:20:12,035 Speaker 1: was surprised by this, and I knew her well enough 290 00:20:12,955 --> 00:20:17,635 Speaker 1: to say to her why. She said, Look, this is 291 00:20:17,675 --> 00:20:19,395 Speaker 1: a tough business to be in. If you're a woman, 292 00:20:19,875 --> 00:20:22,635 Speaker 1: I'd certainly, of all the things, I don't need its 293 00:20:22,715 --> 00:20:28,875 Speaker 1: competition inside my own office. I was startled by this. 294 00:20:28,995 --> 00:20:32,315 Speaker 1: It had never crossed my mind as I considered the 295 00:20:32,475 --> 00:20:36,315 Speaker 1: inequalities between men and women in broadcasting and in other fields. 296 00:20:36,555 --> 00:20:39,435 Speaker 1: Now we're talking nineteen eighty one, it never dawned on 297 00:20:39,555 --> 00:20:41,875 Speaker 1: me that a woman who succeeded and moved up the 298 00:20:41,955 --> 00:20:47,435 Speaker 1: ladder would first turn their attention to getting rid of 299 00:20:47,475 --> 00:20:49,595 Speaker 1: all the other women. I thought there was some sort 300 00:20:49,635 --> 00:20:53,115 Speaker 1: of I don't think that we used the term sisterhood 301 00:20:53,115 --> 00:20:58,635 Speaker 1: at that point, but there it was. And the reason 302 00:20:58,915 --> 00:21:02,395 Speaker 1: that I tell this story is not to criticize women 303 00:21:02,475 --> 00:21:05,115 Speaker 1: and the vote and Trump, but just that it reminded 304 00:21:05,195 --> 00:21:08,555 Speaker 1: me of when I first developed my theory of the lifeboat, 305 00:21:11,275 --> 00:21:13,795 Speaker 1: and that this is about who voted for Trump and 306 00:21:13,915 --> 00:21:16,315 Speaker 1: how Trump got back into power and why we will 307 00:21:16,355 --> 00:21:18,715 Speaker 1: be paying for it. You and I will be paying 308 00:21:18,755 --> 00:21:20,155 Speaker 1: for it for at least four years, and there are 309 00:21:20,195 --> 00:21:22,915 Speaker 1: people out there who will be paying for it, you know, 310 00:21:23,035 --> 00:21:25,715 Speaker 1: for ninety five years, if there are ninety five years 311 00:21:25,795 --> 00:21:28,395 Speaker 1: left on this planet, because that's another thing we haven't 312 00:21:28,395 --> 00:21:31,355 Speaker 1: talked about yet. This is the last chance to avoid 313 00:21:31,515 --> 00:21:35,235 Speaker 1: total climate catastrophe, and the guy in charge thinks that 314 00:21:35,355 --> 00:21:41,155 Speaker 1: win mills cause cancer in birds or something, or wants 315 00:21:41,195 --> 00:21:47,635 Speaker 1: to nuke tornadoes because he saw it on TV once. Anyway, 316 00:21:47,715 --> 00:21:50,715 Speaker 1: So this is my theory of how he gets support 317 00:21:50,835 --> 00:21:54,395 Speaker 1: from people who he intends to punish and has now 318 00:21:54,435 --> 00:21:59,195 Speaker 1: a track record of punishing and torturing and destroying. How 319 00:21:59,275 --> 00:22:02,795 Speaker 1: he gets the suckers to line up and pay him 320 00:22:02,835 --> 00:22:07,595 Speaker 1: for the privilege of being beaten up by him. How 321 00:22:07,675 --> 00:22:11,315 Speaker 1: does he do this? And it's this woman from the 322 00:22:11,475 --> 00:22:13,875 Speaker 1: RCAO radio network in nineteen eighty one who fired all 323 00:22:13,875 --> 00:22:16,195 Speaker 1: the other women the lifeboat theory, and here it is 324 00:22:17,035 --> 00:22:21,475 Speaker 1: all of humanity divides into two groups. You are on 325 00:22:22,235 --> 00:22:30,235 Speaker 1: the Titanic. It sinks with astonishing speed, with astonishing loss 326 00:22:30,315 --> 00:22:37,195 Speaker 1: of life, with astonishing rapidity. People who are expert on 327 00:22:38,195 --> 00:22:41,675 Speaker 1: the disaster that befell Titanic point out that the movie 328 00:22:41,755 --> 00:22:46,555 Speaker 1: itself is like five times as long as the actual 329 00:22:47,395 --> 00:22:49,675 Speaker 1: hit the iceberg. Everybody in the water or at least 330 00:22:50,715 --> 00:22:53,315 Speaker 1: realize that the ship is sinking. Everybody in the water 331 00:22:53,475 --> 00:22:58,715 Speaker 1: ships underwater, that in real time just that part of 332 00:22:58,795 --> 00:23:02,675 Speaker 1: the Titanic disaster would be about twenty twenty five minutes. 333 00:23:04,915 --> 00:23:09,275 Speaker 1: So you're in the water and up from the freezing 334 00:23:09,395 --> 00:23:12,915 Speaker 1: North Atlantic. You pop your head above water and your 335 00:23:12,955 --> 00:23:17,115 Speaker 1: shock that you're not drowned, and next to you is 336 00:23:17,195 --> 00:23:24,795 Speaker 1: an empty, fully stocked lifeboat with sixteen seats and provisions, 337 00:23:26,035 --> 00:23:29,355 Speaker 1: and all of humanity everybody who has ever lived, falls 338 00:23:29,475 --> 00:23:34,475 Speaker 1: into one of two categories. Number One, you get into 339 00:23:34,555 --> 00:23:39,035 Speaker 1: the lifeboat, You take the towel that is provided there, 340 00:23:40,115 --> 00:23:43,875 Speaker 1: and dry yourself off, and you begin to calculate quickly 341 00:23:45,235 --> 00:23:47,155 Speaker 1: how many people you can bring in there with you. 342 00:23:49,195 --> 00:23:52,035 Speaker 1: There's sixteen sets of provisions, but what if we had 343 00:23:52,635 --> 00:23:54,475 Speaker 1: how many women do I mean, with fourteen women, do 344 00:23:54,555 --> 00:23:56,435 Speaker 1: we need a couple of men, even though it should 345 00:23:56,475 --> 00:23:59,595 Speaker 1: be all women to a couple of men, because we're 346 00:23:59,635 --> 00:24:02,955 Speaker 1: going to need to row. What about kids, If children 347 00:24:03,155 --> 00:24:05,995 Speaker 1: smaller amounts, we might we could have twenty two children 348 00:24:06,155 --> 00:24:07,995 Speaker 1: and leave the adults in the water, just a couple 349 00:24:08,035 --> 00:24:10,475 Speaker 1: of adults to pull the oars with me. There are 350 00:24:10,515 --> 00:24:14,035 Speaker 1: ores here, and you're doing all these calculations while you 351 00:24:14,155 --> 00:24:17,635 Speaker 1: are reaching out and pulling people into the lifeboat with you. 352 00:24:18,115 --> 00:24:22,475 Speaker 1: That's one kind of person. Half of humanity, one would hope, 353 00:24:23,515 --> 00:24:25,875 Speaker 1: maybe more, actually one would hope it would be one 354 00:24:25,955 --> 00:24:29,035 Speaker 1: hundred percent of humanity would fit into that category in 355 00:24:29,155 --> 00:24:37,595 Speaker 1: our hypothetical lifeboat. The second type, the trump voater, bobs 356 00:24:37,595 --> 00:24:42,835 Speaker 1: into this same situation underwater, comes to the surface, there's 357 00:24:42,875 --> 00:24:46,355 Speaker 1: the lifeboat, hops in, takes two towels out, cleans them, 358 00:24:47,435 --> 00:24:49,955 Speaker 1: cleans himself with the towels, drives himself with the towels, 359 00:24:50,435 --> 00:24:55,075 Speaker 1: drapes the towels around him. Now looks at all the provisions, 360 00:24:55,315 --> 00:25:00,675 Speaker 1: calculates how many days they will last, and grabs the oars, 361 00:25:02,235 --> 00:25:04,635 Speaker 1: and as people try to join him in the lifeboat, 362 00:25:04,715 --> 00:25:09,355 Speaker 1: vote says, good, they left me these oars. Let me 363 00:25:09,435 --> 00:25:11,435 Speaker 1: make sure I kill everybody trying to get into the 364 00:25:11,475 --> 00:25:19,155 Speaker 1: lifeboat with me. That's also I think the defining feature 365 00:25:19,235 --> 00:25:24,955 Speaker 1: between quote liberal unquote and quote conservative unquote. Do you 366 00:25:25,155 --> 00:25:28,555 Speaker 1: have any actual empathy? Do you have Have you ever, 367 00:25:29,115 --> 00:25:32,395 Speaker 1: once in your life done something for somebody else at 368 00:25:32,595 --> 00:25:38,675 Speaker 1: some loss to yourself? Outside of I think most conservatives 369 00:25:38,995 --> 00:25:41,715 Speaker 1: love their children. I could point to a lot who 370 00:25:41,995 --> 00:25:48,115 Speaker 1: clearly don't like Trump, But I mean, outside of that, 371 00:25:48,235 --> 00:25:53,195 Speaker 1: would you do something for a stranger that might, in 372 00:25:53,315 --> 00:25:59,475 Speaker 1: the lifeboat situation make you hungrier a couple of days 373 00:25:59,675 --> 00:26:06,915 Speaker 1: while you're on that lifeboat. That's what happened. And the 374 00:26:07,075 --> 00:26:11,195 Speaker 1: number of category number two in our lifeboat analogy, the 375 00:26:11,315 --> 00:26:15,755 Speaker 1: number of those in this country. Those are the ones 376 00:26:15,755 --> 00:26:18,195 Speaker 1: who say, oh, he's not talking about me, He's talking 377 00:26:18,195 --> 00:26:22,435 Speaker 1: about those guys. Take them. I know this is not 378 00:26:22,635 --> 00:26:25,915 Speaker 1: brilliant philosophical insight. If you'd like to see it more 379 00:26:28,715 --> 00:26:34,075 Speaker 1: startlingly clearly presented into political context, read the plot of 380 00:26:34,155 --> 00:26:36,715 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty four. Let alone all of the catchphrases in 381 00:26:36,795 --> 00:26:39,395 Speaker 1: the Ministry of Truth and everything else, all the things 382 00:26:39,635 --> 00:26:42,995 Speaker 1: the iconography of the novel nineteen eighty four. Read the 383 00:26:43,075 --> 00:26:47,355 Speaker 1: plot of it, which is, don't do it to me 384 00:26:47,555 --> 00:26:53,555 Speaker 1: do it to them. That's how this guy is back, 385 00:26:55,115 --> 00:26:57,475 Speaker 1: because we have crossed that point in human history again. 386 00:26:57,835 --> 00:27:00,115 Speaker 1: I'm sure we have been there many times before, but 387 00:27:00,235 --> 00:27:05,155 Speaker 1: we certainly are now here in this country majority of 388 00:27:05,195 --> 00:27:12,835 Speaker 1: people would take the oars and try to kill the 389 00:27:12,955 --> 00:27:16,635 Speaker 1: other people trying to get on the lifeboat. On that 390 00:27:16,835 --> 00:27:19,035 Speaker 1: happy note, let me do present you with something happy. 391 00:27:19,115 --> 00:27:24,475 Speaker 1: I told you that I had gotten a puppy with 392 00:27:24,635 --> 00:27:27,715 Speaker 1: a bad heart as a rescue and his name is Kit, 393 00:27:28,595 --> 00:27:32,755 Speaker 1: and the whole story about how he succeeds my seventeen 394 00:27:32,795 --> 00:27:37,315 Speaker 1: year old mine and Mena's name in French colloquial for kitty. 395 00:27:39,675 --> 00:27:41,955 Speaker 1: And suddenly they call up and they say, hey, we've 396 00:27:41,995 --> 00:27:47,635 Speaker 1: got a cat or a dog named Kit, And I said, well, 397 00:27:47,675 --> 00:27:49,995 Speaker 1: I think I'm supposed to take him. Then Kitty and Kit. 398 00:27:52,235 --> 00:27:55,155 Speaker 1: Then there was some indication for a while that the 399 00:27:55,275 --> 00:27:57,075 Speaker 1: surgery that Kit's going to have to have on his 400 00:27:57,235 --> 00:28:02,355 Speaker 1: heart was really risky and really dangerous, and his odds 401 00:28:02,355 --> 00:28:08,395 Speaker 1: of surviving and are not good. It turns out there's 402 00:28:08,435 --> 00:28:10,595 Speaker 1: a risk. There's always a risk. You're working on a 403 00:28:10,635 --> 00:28:15,635 Speaker 1: heart surgery on a three pound soul. It's not a guarantee. 404 00:28:15,715 --> 00:28:18,395 Speaker 1: But I ran into the surgeon and he told me 405 00:28:18,475 --> 00:28:22,195 Speaker 1: two things. One was, yeah, it's like nine and a 406 00:28:22,235 --> 00:28:25,795 Speaker 1: half out of ten survivors and they get complete recovery 407 00:28:25,875 --> 00:28:28,075 Speaker 1: for this, so we're hopeful, and the surgery will be 408 00:28:28,155 --> 00:28:32,475 Speaker 1: in a week and a half. And if spunk matters, 409 00:28:32,595 --> 00:28:35,275 Speaker 1: if vitality matters, he's got this nailed because he is. 410 00:28:37,315 --> 00:28:39,515 Speaker 1: He may be less than three pounds, but he acts 411 00:28:39,635 --> 00:28:44,635 Speaker 1: like he's about eighteen hundred pounds. But the reason for 412 00:28:44,795 --> 00:28:47,075 Speaker 1: telling the story is not just that that's good news. 413 00:28:47,155 --> 00:28:49,195 Speaker 1: And many people were very concerned about Kit when I 414 00:28:49,315 --> 00:28:53,315 Speaker 1: talked about him. He has no other symptoms, but the 415 00:28:53,595 --> 00:28:56,395 Speaker 1: surgeon who looked at him, I said, he's so small 416 00:28:56,475 --> 00:28:58,555 Speaker 1: and you're going to operate on him, and somehow it's 417 00:28:58,555 --> 00:29:01,635 Speaker 1: so it's striking to me. I've had another dog, my 418 00:29:02,635 --> 00:29:05,995 Speaker 1: other guy, Ted, had hearts surgery when he was ten 419 00:29:06,075 --> 00:29:08,795 Speaker 1: months old. But Ted was I don't know twice three 420 00:29:08,875 --> 00:29:11,315 Speaker 1: times as big as Kit. And it really struck me. 421 00:29:11,395 --> 00:29:16,395 Speaker 1: It's like he's really small. And the surgeon said, absolutely true, 422 00:29:16,515 --> 00:29:19,795 Speaker 1: he's very small. But I'd like to remind you we 423 00:29:21,515 --> 00:29:30,315 Speaker 1: do this surgery on kittens, and if Kit were a kitten, 424 00:29:31,875 --> 00:29:53,515 Speaker 1: he'd be a big kitten fingers crossed. I've bet all 425 00:29:53,515 --> 00:29:55,595 Speaker 1: the damage I can do here. Thank you for listening. 426 00:29:56,435 --> 00:30:03,155 Speaker 1: Follow me for the podcast.
