1 00:00:04,795 --> 00:00:22,315 Speaker 1: Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. The 2 00:00:22,355 --> 00:00:26,675 Speaker 1: Special Council. Jack Smith has in effect dared Sam Alito 3 00:00:26,795 --> 00:00:29,715 Speaker 1: and Clarence Thomas and John Roberts and the rest of 4 00:00:29,755 --> 00:00:35,715 Speaker 1: the Federalist Society terrorist organization to rule right now, right here, 5 00:00:36,315 --> 00:00:40,035 Speaker 1: that a president can commit any crime and no one 6 00:00:40,075 --> 00:00:44,915 Speaker 1: in the world can prosecute them for it. More importantly 7 00:00:45,035 --> 00:00:48,595 Speaker 1: and practically, perhaps Smith has dared them to answer the 8 00:00:48,675 --> 00:00:53,275 Speaker 1: rhetorical question if Trump is right and this concept of 9 00:00:53,835 --> 00:00:57,315 Speaker 1: presidential immunity which he has summoned out of thin air, 10 00:00:57,475 --> 00:01:05,875 Speaker 1: actually exists, Why did Gerald Ford pardon Richard Nixon? Why 11 00:01:06,115 --> 00:01:10,355 Speaker 1: did Nixon's toady Alexander Haig try to get Ford to 12 00:01:10,555 --> 00:01:14,435 Speaker 1: promise a pardon before Nixon would agree to resign. Why 13 00:01:14,475 --> 00:01:21,195 Speaker 1: did Nixon contemplate pardoning himself before resigning. Why did if 14 00:01:21,235 --> 00:01:25,475 Speaker 1: dementia j Trump himself is to be believed. Why was 15 00:01:25,595 --> 00:01:29,715 Speaker 1: he told that he could have pardoned himself before he 16 00:01:29,795 --> 00:01:32,955 Speaker 1: left office three years ago? Next month, I was given 17 00:01:32,995 --> 00:01:37,195 Speaker 1: an option to pardon myself, he told NBC three months ago. 18 00:01:37,235 --> 00:01:39,955 Speaker 1: This Thursday, he said in the same interview he would 19 00:01:39,995 --> 00:01:44,995 Speaker 1: still have the option to pardon himself if he regains power. 20 00:01:46,275 --> 00:01:52,675 Speaker 1: Why if there is presidential immunity, why would Trump need 21 00:01:52,715 --> 00:01:57,795 Speaker 1: a pardon? Why did Nixon negotiate for a pardon? Why 22 00:01:58,475 --> 00:02:03,475 Speaker 1: did Ford give Nixon a pardon as a piece of 23 00:02:03,515 --> 00:02:09,435 Speaker 1: memorabilia and setting aside that fundamental principle of the quality 24 00:02:09,475 --> 00:02:12,315 Speaker 1: of all Americans before the law. There is another part 25 00:02:12,355 --> 00:02:14,835 Speaker 1: to this that may be much more important than any 26 00:02:15,195 --> 00:02:20,795 Speaker 1: pesky legalities to Alito and Thomas and Roberts and Gorsich 27 00:02:20,835 --> 00:02:24,875 Speaker 1: and Kevanaugh and Muffy Bronwin Cony Barrett and their owners 28 00:02:24,875 --> 00:02:28,235 Speaker 1: and operators like Leonard Leo and Harlan Crowe and the 29 00:02:28,235 --> 00:02:33,475 Speaker 1: Federalist Society terrorists. If there is presidential immunity, even just 30 00:02:33,675 --> 00:02:38,035 Speaker 1: enough to stall the prosecution of Dementia J Trump, what 31 00:02:38,235 --> 00:02:43,915 Speaker 1: happens to Trump's entire twenty twenty four campaign that he 32 00:02:43,995 --> 00:02:48,995 Speaker 1: will put Biden in prison? What does Trump do for 33 00:02:49,155 --> 00:02:52,875 Speaker 1: an act if the court now wipes out the only 34 00:02:53,035 --> 00:02:56,635 Speaker 1: actionable promise he has made. What if the te for 35 00:02:56,955 --> 00:03:01,555 Speaker 1: Vendetta campaign has to go on without the vendetta? What 36 00:03:01,795 --> 00:03:06,395 Speaker 1: is vengeance in mind Saith the Fat Guy? If there 37 00:03:06,435 --> 00:03:10,875 Speaker 1: is no vengeance? A heavy choice for mister Leo and 38 00:03:10,915 --> 00:03:14,675 Speaker 1: mister Crow and the Federalists to make. I'm sorry for 39 00:03:14,835 --> 00:03:18,195 Speaker 1: Alito and Thomas and Chief Justice Roberts to make. Of course, 40 00:03:19,315 --> 00:03:21,195 Speaker 1: what will it profit a man if he gains the 41 00:03:21,195 --> 00:03:25,555 Speaker 1: whole completely fictitious, utterly fabricated law but forfeits his only 42 00:03:25,635 --> 00:03:31,715 Speaker 1: campaign catchphrase. Incidentally, none of that is quoted from Jacksmith's 43 00:03:31,755 --> 00:03:34,315 Speaker 1: writ assert to the Supreme Court. I don't think he 44 00:03:34,435 --> 00:03:38,475 Speaker 1: mentions Leonard Leo, or Nixon or anybody named Bronwyn. His 45 00:03:38,635 --> 00:03:44,035 Speaker 1: argument was legal and obviously strategic. And I'm not sure 46 00:03:44,115 --> 00:03:48,035 Speaker 1: if jack Smith is cutting to the chase scene or 47 00:03:48,075 --> 00:03:50,035 Speaker 1: heading him off at the pass, but he has a 48 00:03:50,195 --> 00:03:55,435 Speaker 1: minimum stolen dementia j Trump's trump card in Trump's game 49 00:03:55,475 --> 00:04:00,795 Speaker 1: of stall your way to not guilty. The risk, of course, 50 00:04:00,875 --> 00:04:03,235 Speaker 1: is that the Court will have the audacious dishonesty to 51 00:04:03,315 --> 00:04:05,675 Speaker 1: rule that Trump did not make this, that Nixon was 52 00:04:05,675 --> 00:04:08,595 Speaker 1: not prosecutable, that Trump did not need to pardon himself, 53 00:04:08,715 --> 00:04:10,635 Speaker 1: and that we do not now, nor have we ever, 54 00:04:10,715 --> 00:04:15,315 Speaker 1: lived in even a shadow of a representative government. Because 55 00:04:15,315 --> 00:04:18,515 Speaker 1: if a president cannot be prosecuted for anything he does 56 00:04:18,635 --> 00:04:23,755 Speaker 1: as president, ever, we do not live under a representative government. 57 00:04:23,795 --> 00:04:26,395 Speaker 1: And the Supreme Court is beyond redemption, and that would 58 00:04:26,395 --> 00:04:28,395 Speaker 1: mean we would have to go figure out a way 59 00:04:28,515 --> 00:04:32,195 Speaker 1: to get rid of it. And if you think that's 60 00:04:32,235 --> 00:04:35,235 Speaker 1: all on impossibility, just for the history of what I've mentioned, 61 00:04:35,715 --> 00:04:38,835 Speaker 1: Sure Trump said three months ago he was advised by 62 00:04:38,875 --> 00:04:42,675 Speaker 1: attorneys to pardon himself. But sure Nixon was pardon But 63 00:04:42,795 --> 00:04:46,435 Speaker 1: so what because remember the rest of that sentence. So 64 00:04:46,555 --> 00:04:52,755 Speaker 1: what I'm sam Alito. Alito yesterday chimed in in a 65 00:04:52,875 --> 00:04:57,035 Speaker 1: solo descent to a case about Biden administration contacts with 66 00:04:57,075 --> 00:05:01,355 Speaker 1: social media firms, about them trafficking and literally fatal disinformation 67 00:05:01,595 --> 00:05:04,995 Speaker 1: about COVID and election fraud and for some pas raison 68 00:05:05,035 --> 00:05:07,435 Speaker 1: the government wanting to protect people from something that is 69 00:05:07,475 --> 00:05:12,915 Speaker 1: as deadly as cancer. Our democratic form of government is undermined, 70 00:05:13,355 --> 00:05:17,035 Speaker 1: Alito wrote, who is an expert in undermining federal forms 71 00:05:17,035 --> 00:05:21,955 Speaker 1: of government? Our democratic form of government is undermined. Alito wrote, 72 00:05:21,995 --> 00:05:24,795 Speaker 1: like the good little political and judicial prostitute he is 73 00:05:25,595 --> 00:05:29,035 Speaker 1: if government officials prevent a candidate for high office from 74 00:05:29,355 --> 00:05:34,635 Speaker 1: communicating with voters, and such efforts are especially dangerous when 75 00:05:34,675 --> 00:05:38,395 Speaker 1: the officials engaging in such conduct are answerable to a 76 00:05:38,515 --> 00:05:46,075 Speaker 1: rival candidate. You know, nobody has exactly sewed Trump's lips 77 00:05:46,115 --> 00:05:52,435 Speaker 1: together or sealed his mouth closed with epoxy. Regardless, this 78 00:05:52,595 --> 00:05:56,395 Speaker 1: little indicator suggests Alito may be shouted down by Roberts 79 00:05:56,435 --> 00:05:58,635 Speaker 1: and one or two other fascists on the Court who 80 00:05:58,635 --> 00:06:01,795 Speaker 1: do not want to see their commutes to work inconvenience 81 00:06:01,835 --> 00:06:04,955 Speaker 1: by rioting in the streets. But he is willing to 82 00:06:04,995 --> 00:06:08,515 Speaker 1: tell Trump any shit Trump wants to hear from him. 83 00:06:10,355 --> 00:06:14,275 Speaker 1: Alito over here. Eight Supreme Court justices, maybe seven, maybe 84 00:06:14,275 --> 00:06:17,115 Speaker 1: Thomas won't be able to contact Harlan Crow in time 85 00:06:17,195 --> 00:06:20,355 Speaker 1: to get his instructions, But seven or eight of them 86 00:06:20,355 --> 00:06:23,475 Speaker 1: will get hung up on that whole entire history of 87 00:06:23,475 --> 00:06:25,875 Speaker 1: the country and the presidency thing. But Alito, he will 88 00:06:25,875 --> 00:06:29,395 Speaker 1: find some way to prove his loyalty to Trump and say, no, no, 89 00:06:30,355 --> 00:06:33,435 Speaker 1: Gabby j. Trump is right. This thing that definitely did 90 00:06:33,435 --> 00:06:37,715 Speaker 1: not exist in September exists now. Also, I decree that 91 00:06:37,755 --> 00:06:40,675 Speaker 1: Trump is forever six foot three, two hundred and fifteen pounds, 92 00:06:40,955 --> 00:06:47,795 Speaker 1: and he can fly. At least, the Court protected its 93 00:06:47,835 --> 00:06:51,955 Speaker 1: remaining sliver of superior legitimacy, a primacy over other courts 94 00:06:51,995 --> 00:06:56,235 Speaker 1: It has lately resembled, namely Judge Judy and Judge Matthis 95 00:06:56,235 --> 00:07:01,115 Speaker 1: and Maury Povich's paternity court. The Supreme Court did not 96 00:07:01,235 --> 00:07:04,395 Speaker 1: say it won't even listen. It granted a hearing on 97 00:07:04,435 --> 00:07:07,435 Speaker 1: the as the business day ended yesterday. Trump has until 98 00:07:07,435 --> 00:07:10,875 Speaker 1: four pm a week from tomorrow to respond. And won't 99 00:07:10,875 --> 00:07:12,955 Speaker 1: he be surprised when he finds out that he can't 100 00:07:13,315 --> 00:07:20,075 Speaker 1: get that deadline stayed by appealing to the Supreme Court 101 00:07:20,155 --> 00:07:25,395 Speaker 1: of the United Federation of Planets based on the capital 102 00:07:25,795 --> 00:07:32,835 Speaker 1: of the planet love Tron. Jack Smith's petition is eighty 103 00:07:32,875 --> 00:07:35,075 Speaker 1: one pages long, and there are no punches pulled, and 104 00:07:35,075 --> 00:07:38,035 Speaker 1: he accurately frames this as a question that quote presents 105 00:07:38,035 --> 00:07:41,035 Speaker 1: a fundamental question at the heart of our democracy, whether 106 00:07:41,075 --> 00:07:44,715 Speaker 1: a former president is absolutely immune from federal prosecution for 107 00:07:44,795 --> 00:07:49,475 Speaker 1: crimes committed while in office, or is constitutionally protected from 108 00:07:49,515 --> 00:07:53,955 Speaker 1: federal prosecution when he has been impeached but not convicted. 109 00:07:55,755 --> 00:07:59,755 Speaker 1: Plus there's an easter egg. Smith signed this filing, His 110 00:07:59,875 --> 00:08:03,675 Speaker 1: deputy JP Cooney signed this filing. His deputy James Pierce 111 00:08:03,835 --> 00:08:07,795 Speaker 1: signed this file. And Michael Drebin signed this filing. And 112 00:08:07,875 --> 00:08:10,995 Speaker 1: until he did, nobody knew that Michael Dreeban was working 113 00:08:11,035 --> 00:08:14,355 Speaker 1: with the Special Council's Office. And all he is is 114 00:08:14,395 --> 00:08:19,675 Speaker 1: the former Deputy Solicitor of the United States under Clinton, G. W. Bush, Obama, 115 00:08:19,755 --> 00:08:22,755 Speaker 1: and Trump. And in that role, all he did was 116 00:08:22,795 --> 00:08:28,115 Speaker 1: supervise for twenty five years all the cases the government 117 00:08:28,195 --> 00:08:31,355 Speaker 1: took to the Supreme Court, and he even argued a 118 00:08:31,395 --> 00:08:36,875 Speaker 1: few of them himself. One hundred and five He argued 119 00:08:36,995 --> 00:08:41,395 Speaker 1: one hundred and five cases himself before the Supreme Court. Oh, 120 00:08:41,435 --> 00:08:44,675 Speaker 1: and he was detailed to Robert Muller's office, and his 121 00:08:44,835 --> 00:08:48,235 Speaker 1: job was to keep defeating all the cases brought to 122 00:08:48,235 --> 00:08:53,395 Speaker 1: try to shut that Special Council's investigation down. Dreaban did 123 00:08:53,435 --> 00:09:00,155 Speaker 1: his job, so no, the Supreme Court could overturn American 124 00:09:00,195 --> 00:09:05,235 Speaker 1: presidential history ranging from nineteen seventy four through lul literally 125 00:09:05,355 --> 00:09:07,595 Speaker 1: ninety days ago. But it's going to have to do 126 00:09:07,675 --> 00:09:11,835 Speaker 1: it to Drebin's face, because evidently he is going to 127 00:09:12,035 --> 00:09:15,715 Speaker 1: argue this thing before them, and they'll all say, hi, Dreab, 128 00:09:17,795 --> 00:09:22,795 Speaker 1: And that's Drebin, not Dreben. Dreben was the Leslie Nielsen 129 00:09:22,875 --> 00:09:26,595 Speaker 1: character from The Naked Gun and Polease Squad. All right, 130 00:09:26,675 --> 00:09:30,475 Speaker 1: move on, nothing to see here, please disperse, nothing to 131 00:09:30,555 --> 00:09:37,595 Speaker 1: see here, please, and don't call me Shirley. 132 00:09:38,315 --> 00:09:39,155 Speaker 2: I know I know different. 133 00:09:39,155 --> 00:09:42,155 Speaker 1: Film Day one of the damage's assessment. In the Rudy 134 00:09:42,195 --> 00:09:45,275 Speaker 1: Giuliani trial, he already admitted he lied about Ruby Freeman 135 00:09:45,315 --> 00:09:47,755 Speaker 1: and her daughter Shaye Moss. Legally, we already know what 136 00:09:47,875 --> 00:09:51,035 Speaker 1: Rudy is. We're just arguing about the price. His lawyer 137 00:09:51,075 --> 00:09:55,475 Speaker 1: said Juliani should be assessed nothing because he didn't personally 138 00:09:55,555 --> 00:09:59,715 Speaker 1: make any of the death threats against them. Rudy has 139 00:09:59,715 --> 00:10:02,795 Speaker 1: already undercut his own case. Actor day one, he told 140 00:10:02,835 --> 00:10:05,755 Speaker 1: reporters that he's going to testify. I improve the quote. 141 00:10:05,875 --> 00:10:08,555 Speaker 1: When I testify, you'll get the whole story and it 142 00:10:08,595 --> 00:10:15,235 Speaker 1: will definitely clear what I said was true. His attorney 143 00:10:15,235 --> 00:10:18,395 Speaker 1: had said it wasn't true. He had in fact filed 144 00:10:18,395 --> 00:10:21,275 Speaker 1: that it wasn't true. His attorney also said in court 145 00:10:21,315 --> 00:10:24,515 Speaker 1: that the requested verdict forty three million dollars against Juliani 146 00:10:24,555 --> 00:10:27,955 Speaker 1: would be the quote civil equivalent of the death penalty, 147 00:10:28,075 --> 00:10:33,795 Speaker 1: and quote it would be the end of mister Giuliani. Okay, 148 00:10:34,995 --> 00:10:37,475 Speaker 1: well it will be the end of him, or something 149 00:10:37,555 --> 00:10:39,755 Speaker 1: Rudy does to himself will be Just get. 150 00:10:39,635 --> 00:10:40,155 Speaker 3: It over with. 151 00:10:41,155 --> 00:10:47,395 Speaker 1: Enough of this, this this penis with glasses. Update on 152 00:10:47,595 --> 00:10:51,395 Speaker 1: Trump's mental trip downhill and the question from Glenn Beck. 153 00:10:51,515 --> 00:10:56,435 Speaker 1: Remember Glenn Beck. Do you think Trump's faded cognitively? The 154 00:10:56,555 --> 00:10:59,155 Speaker 1: answer quote, Yeah, I do. There's no question Trump has 155 00:10:59,155 --> 00:11:02,675 Speaker 1: lost a step, multiple steps. He is confusing Joe Biden 156 00:11:02,715 --> 00:11:05,595 Speaker 1: for Obama. I know he's now saying he intentionally did that. 157 00:11:05,755 --> 00:11:08,955 Speaker 1: Go back and look at the clips. It wasn't intentional. Look, 158 00:11:08,995 --> 00:11:10,635 Speaker 1: any of us can have a slip of the tongue. 159 00:11:10,675 --> 00:11:13,475 Speaker 1: But it's happening to him repeatedly, the reference of how 160 00:11:13,515 --> 00:11:15,715 Speaker 1: somebody is going to get us into World War two, 161 00:11:16,515 --> 00:11:20,235 Speaker 1: confusing countries, confusing cities where he is in, and it's 162 00:11:20,235 --> 00:11:25,715 Speaker 1: happening more and more. End quote the speaker Megan Kelly, 163 00:11:26,355 --> 00:11:29,475 Speaker 1: and I have no use for Megan Kelly. But the 164 00:11:29,515 --> 00:11:33,435 Speaker 1: premise is an ultra right witch who looks like she 165 00:11:33,635 --> 00:11:35,915 Speaker 1: just stepped out of a remake of the nineteen seventy 166 00:11:35,955 --> 00:11:41,795 Speaker 1: five film classic Ilsa she Wolf of the SS notices 167 00:11:41,875 --> 00:11:47,275 Speaker 1: that Trump has lost multiple steps. That means other ultra 168 00:11:47,515 --> 00:11:51,475 Speaker 1: right wing witches who look like they stepped out of 169 00:11:51,555 --> 00:11:55,835 Speaker 1: Ilsa she Wolf of the SS have also noticed. And 170 00:11:55,955 --> 00:12:00,315 Speaker 1: remember when voters think both Trump and Biden a maybe 171 00:12:00,315 --> 00:12:03,515 Speaker 1: are too old, maybe have lost steps. When they think 172 00:12:03,635 --> 00:12:07,115 Speaker 1: both of them are like that, Biden sweeps that demographic 173 00:12:07,155 --> 00:12:10,555 Speaker 1: group by sixty one percent to thirteen. My old man 174 00:12:10,595 --> 00:12:16,675 Speaker 1: can beat up your old man, Ilsea she Wolf of 175 00:12:16,755 --> 00:12:20,075 Speaker 1: the SS go look it up and tell me if 176 00:12:20,075 --> 00:12:25,315 Speaker 1: my analogy is incorrect or unfair, because it's not. Meanwhile, 177 00:12:25,315 --> 00:12:27,835 Speaker 1: as I mentioned last week, Trump's self proclamation that he'd 178 00:12:27,875 --> 00:12:30,875 Speaker 1: be a dictator but only on his first day, he swears, 179 00:12:31,755 --> 00:12:34,875 Speaker 1: is the kind of obvious nonsense that still cuts through 180 00:12:35,235 --> 00:12:39,515 Speaker 1: and shocks people. Saturday night, Trump defended his remarks, denying 181 00:12:39,555 --> 00:12:41,435 Speaker 1: he said he wanted to be a dictator. Quote. I 182 00:12:41,475 --> 00:12:43,155 Speaker 1: didn't say that. I said I want to be a 183 00:12:43,195 --> 00:12:47,515 Speaker 1: dictator for one day. Yeah, and I only want to 184 00:12:47,515 --> 00:12:50,075 Speaker 1: be immortal for one day. But that's going to be 185 00:12:50,115 --> 00:12:54,115 Speaker 1: a hell of a long day. The dictator remarks cut 186 00:12:54,115 --> 00:12:58,075 Speaker 1: through so profoundly that even Peter Baker of the New 187 00:12:58,155 --> 00:13:02,955 Speaker 1: York Times heard them. When a historian wrote an essay 188 00:13:02,995 --> 00:13:05,275 Speaker 1: the other day warning that the election of Trump next 189 00:13:05,355 --> 00:13:08,915 Speaker 1: year could lead to a dictatorship, Baker somehow wrote and 190 00:13:08,995 --> 00:13:13,195 Speaker 1: managed to slip past Times editors poised with their portable 191 00:13:13,275 --> 00:13:19,075 Speaker 1: deflavorizing in this Ohio dinerizing machine. One of mister Trump's 192 00:13:19,115 --> 00:13:22,555 Speaker 1: allies quickly responded by calling for the historian to be 193 00:13:22,675 --> 00:13:26,635 Speaker 1: sent to prison, then lapsing into the official point of 194 00:13:26,715 --> 00:13:29,195 Speaker 1: view of the press corps that it still probably will 195 00:13:29,235 --> 00:13:32,195 Speaker 1: never happen. But how dare Trump make me work on 196 00:13:32,235 --> 00:13:35,795 Speaker 1: a weekend to address the minute chance that it will happen? 197 00:13:36,515 --> 00:13:39,955 Speaker 1: Peter Baker added, quote, it almost sounds like a parody. 198 00:13:40,235 --> 00:13:43,995 Speaker 1: The response to concerns about dictatorship is to prosecute the author. 199 00:13:45,915 --> 00:13:48,755 Speaker 1: To be fair to Baker, he eventually revealed who the 200 00:13:48,795 --> 00:13:52,955 Speaker 1: ally was, the nit witted Senator JD. Vance of Ohio. 201 00:13:53,035 --> 00:13:57,195 Speaker 1: Of course, the president has even tried out attacks on 202 00:13:57,275 --> 00:14:00,955 Speaker 1: the dictator line at a major fundraiser and la and 203 00:14:01,035 --> 00:14:04,235 Speaker 1: it goes without saying he needs to do this in 204 00:14:04,275 --> 00:14:08,275 Speaker 1: public every week, every day, every hour. The other day 205 00:14:08,875 --> 00:14:12,675 Speaker 1: mister Biden said he said he would be a dictator 206 00:14:12,795 --> 00:14:19,155 Speaker 1: only one day, thank god, only one day. It is 207 00:14:19,315 --> 00:14:23,235 Speaker 1: fascinating that the swaggering boastful if it were actual humans 208 00:14:23,235 --> 00:14:25,515 Speaker 1: saying this, you would assume they were drunk or stoned. 209 00:14:25,755 --> 00:14:29,955 Speaker 1: Trump aids and adherents and deputy feurers and other cultists 210 00:14:30,355 --> 00:14:33,875 Speaker 1: have shot off their big bazoos about dictatorship and everything 211 00:14:33,915 --> 00:14:37,195 Speaker 1: else evil they want to do so much that one 212 00:14:37,235 --> 00:14:40,315 Speaker 1: of the people postulated as a key player in a 213 00:14:40,395 --> 00:14:44,155 Speaker 1: Trump dictatorship co signed a statement to the media that 214 00:14:44,275 --> 00:14:52,555 Speaker 1: amounted to icknay on the dictatorship day conversation quote, let 215 00:14:52,595 --> 00:14:55,715 Speaker 1: us be very specific here. Unless a message is coming 216 00:14:55,715 --> 00:14:59,075 Speaker 1: directly from Trump or an authorized member of his campaign team, 217 00:14:59,595 --> 00:15:04,235 Speaker 1: no aspect of future presidential staffing or policy announcements should 218 00:15:04,235 --> 00:15:09,515 Speaker 1: be deem official. The problem is the problem is because 219 00:15:10,155 --> 00:15:13,475 Speaker 1: the message is coming directly from Trump, and it came 220 00:15:13,515 --> 00:15:15,755 Speaker 1: from Trump when Hannedy gave him a chance to lie 221 00:15:15,875 --> 00:15:18,595 Speaker 1: to everybody and say he'd never be a dictator, and 222 00:15:18,635 --> 00:15:23,115 Speaker 1: he of course said, well, I would be on day one. 223 00:15:23,275 --> 00:15:25,555 Speaker 1: By the way, that message I read was co signed 224 00:15:25,595 --> 00:15:29,915 Speaker 1: by Susie Wiles, and you may know she is the 225 00:15:29,955 --> 00:15:34,115 Speaker 1: person who first pretty much got Rick Scott elected to 226 00:15:34,195 --> 00:15:38,915 Speaker 1: office the first time. But maybe more importantly, Susie Wiles 227 00:15:39,715 --> 00:15:44,875 Speaker 1: emerging as the possible chief of staff, chief Trump spokesperson 228 00:15:45,075 --> 00:15:50,515 Speaker 1: something like that. Susie Wiles is the daughter of Pat Summer, 229 00:15:50,595 --> 00:15:57,515 Speaker 1: all proving you never know where the next Nazi is 230 00:15:57,555 --> 00:16:05,955 Speaker 1: coming from. Also of interest here, American Patriots are meeting 231 00:16:05,955 --> 00:16:10,995 Speaker 1: with President Zelenski. Republicans, formerly an American political party, now 232 00:16:11,035 --> 00:16:13,595 Speaker 1: the fifth column they always warned us about, are meeting 233 00:16:13,635 --> 00:16:18,235 Speaker 1: with representatives of the Hungarian dictator, Victor Orbon and members 234 00:16:18,435 --> 00:16:22,755 Speaker 1: of a more dangerous group still a Heritage Foundation, and 235 00:16:22,875 --> 00:16:26,635 Speaker 1: all of them are scheming about how to do Putin's 236 00:16:26,715 --> 00:16:31,435 Speaker 1: work for him. Just like in nineteen forty, the Republican 237 00:16:31,475 --> 00:16:36,835 Speaker 1: Party is appeasing dictators, and surprise, surprise, there is a 238 00:16:36,955 --> 00:16:41,355 Speaker 1: way for this country to go around the Republican fascists 239 00:16:41,435 --> 00:16:45,795 Speaker 1: and the Heritage terrorists and the Hungarian bullies. And it 240 00:16:45,835 --> 00:16:50,635 Speaker 1: would be worth about three hundred billion dollars for Ukraine. 241 00:16:50,715 --> 00:16:53,355 Speaker 1: That's next. This is an all new edition of Countdown 242 00:16:53,995 --> 00:16:58,275 Speaker 1: with singing, singing about Shohei Otani. 243 00:17:00,635 --> 00:17:03,035 Speaker 2: This is Countdown with Keith Old. 244 00:17:10,395 --> 00:17:14,915 Speaker 1: Postscripts to the news, some headlines, some updates, some snark, 245 00:17:15,275 --> 00:17:21,435 Speaker 1: some predictions. Dateline Capitol Hill. When the Republican Party tried 246 00:17:21,435 --> 00:17:23,915 Speaker 1: to appease Hitler in nineteen forty, they were willing to 247 00:17:23,915 --> 00:17:27,995 Speaker 1: give him France, England and the Jews. Had Hitler not 248 00:17:28,275 --> 00:17:32,315 Speaker 1: then surprised even the Republicans by declaring war on this 249 00:17:32,395 --> 00:17:36,555 Speaker 1: country on December eleventh, nineteen forty one, before we were 250 00:17:36,675 --> 00:17:40,275 Speaker 1: planning to declare war on him. Had Hitler not made 251 00:17:40,315 --> 00:17:43,395 Speaker 1: that strategic mistake. The Republicans of eighty two years ago 252 00:17:43,875 --> 00:17:47,155 Speaker 1: might have held out for full support of total war 253 00:17:47,195 --> 00:17:50,755 Speaker 1: against Japan on the proviso that there would still be 254 00:17:50,835 --> 00:17:56,155 Speaker 1: no action against Europe or Germany were hitler. That's how 255 00:17:56,155 --> 00:18:02,315 Speaker 1: bad those guys were. These Republicans, they're worse. When their 256 00:18:02,355 --> 00:18:06,515 Speaker 1: philosophical and political grandchildren tried to appease Putin, they were 257 00:18:06,515 --> 00:18:11,235 Speaker 1: willing to give him Ukraine now presumably Poland, and the 258 00:18:11,435 --> 00:18:16,035 Speaker 1: entire structure of NATO. Later, the Republican response to Ukraine, 259 00:18:16,115 --> 00:18:20,675 Speaker 1: backing an anti Semite for president and successfully coupling aid 260 00:18:20,875 --> 00:18:26,835 Speaker 1: to Ukraine to quote border security, which is simply demagoguery 261 00:18:26,875 --> 00:18:33,035 Speaker 1: against brown people. That is something their ancestor, Republicans only 262 00:18:33,235 --> 00:18:37,915 Speaker 1: dreamed of. As President Zelenski came to Washington yesterday to 263 00:18:37,955 --> 00:18:40,955 Speaker 1: try to explain to delusional Bible thumpers like Mike Johnson 264 00:18:41,155 --> 00:18:44,715 Speaker 1: and Gutlass simpletons like Mitt Romney that the Ukrainians really 265 00:18:44,835 --> 00:18:47,875 Speaker 1: are fighting the Russians there, so we don't have to 266 00:18:47,875 --> 00:18:53,035 Speaker 1: fight them here. The Republicans, names still carefully concealed, were 267 00:18:53,075 --> 00:18:56,115 Speaker 1: meeting with representatives of the Hungarian strong man, Victor Orbon 268 00:18:56,515 --> 00:18:59,955 Speaker 1: in a two day seminar, and the Heritage Foundation is 269 00:19:00,035 --> 00:19:03,595 Speaker 1: brokering it. And once again, President Biden, if you want 270 00:19:03,595 --> 00:19:06,275 Speaker 1: to save democracy, you're gonna have to break a few 271 00:19:07,195 --> 00:19:11,195 Speaker 1: fascists invoking the Insurrection Act for a few hours in 272 00:19:11,315 --> 00:19:14,715 Speaker 1: order to detain and prosecute Trump and his fellow insurrectionists. 273 00:19:15,315 --> 00:19:19,675 Speaker 1: That's too strong a measure for you. I guess what 274 00:19:19,795 --> 00:19:23,915 Speaker 1: about getting this Heritage Foundation declared a terrorist group, or 275 00:19:24,075 --> 00:19:28,915 Speaker 1: least officially designated as surreptitious agents of an enemy government, 276 00:19:28,995 --> 00:19:33,595 Speaker 1: which is what the heritagers are doing for Arvan and Hungary, 277 00:19:34,075 --> 00:19:37,755 Speaker 1: who are themselves whoores for Putin and Russia, to say 278 00:19:37,835 --> 00:19:40,675 Speaker 1: nothing of what the heritages have already done to our 279 00:19:40,915 --> 00:19:44,875 Speaker 1: justice system see the A Bloc. And mister President, you 280 00:19:44,955 --> 00:19:48,555 Speaker 1: will also have to work around these American Nazis. A 281 00:19:48,635 --> 00:19:52,715 Speaker 1: columnist in the Guardian newspaper reminded us yesterday that three 282 00:19:52,835 --> 00:19:58,555 Speaker 1: hundred billion dollars in Russian assets remains frozen in western banks. 283 00:19:59,515 --> 00:20:01,115 Speaker 1: We and the British and the EU and the G 284 00:20:01,235 --> 00:20:04,235 Speaker 1: seven and lots of other governmental units froze that money 285 00:20:04,275 --> 00:20:10,595 Speaker 1: as red tribution for the latest Russian invasion of Ukraine. Well, 286 00:20:10,595 --> 00:20:15,115 Speaker 1: we're halfway to the obvious solution to two problems. We've 287 00:20:15,155 --> 00:20:21,515 Speaker 1: frozen the Russian assets, finished the job. Seize the Russian assets, 288 00:20:22,115 --> 00:20:26,595 Speaker 1: liquidate the Russian assets, liquidate that three hundred billion dollars, 289 00:20:27,235 --> 00:20:31,435 Speaker 1: and give the three hundred billion dollars to Ukraine. And 290 00:20:31,475 --> 00:20:34,995 Speaker 1: if the Republicans don't like it, let them sue somebody, 291 00:20:35,315 --> 00:20:38,435 Speaker 1: while Zelenski is taking the three hundred billion dollars and 292 00:20:38,515 --> 00:20:42,795 Speaker 1: paying Western governments. Hint, we are a Western government paying 293 00:20:42,875 --> 00:20:46,555 Speaker 1: Western governments for all those weapons with which to destroy 294 00:20:46,635 --> 00:20:51,235 Speaker 1: Russia and particularly Putin. Because if you don't do this, 295 00:20:51,835 --> 00:20:55,235 Speaker 1: the Republicans who tried to appease Hitler and who are 296 00:20:55,915 --> 00:21:02,555 Speaker 1: appeasing Putin, they will next appease Jijinping. And then you 297 00:21:02,595 --> 00:21:06,995 Speaker 1: can say farewell to Taiwan, possibly underneath a mushroom cloud, 298 00:21:07,075 --> 00:21:09,435 Speaker 1: or at least with the deadly finality of what the 299 00:21:09,515 --> 00:21:13,795 Speaker 1: Chinese have already done to Hong Kong. Or you can 300 00:21:13,835 --> 00:21:19,955 Speaker 1: wave she off by making Putin kiss his three hundred 301 00:21:19,955 --> 00:21:38,435 Speaker 1: billion dollar assets goodbye. This is Sports Senate. Wait, check 302 00:21:38,475 --> 00:21:46,915 Speaker 1: that not anymore. This is countdown with Keith Ulberman in 303 00:21:47,155 --> 00:21:53,995 Speaker 1: Sports Dateline Los Angeles. When is seven hundred million dollars 304 00:21:54,075 --> 00:21:57,715 Speaker 1: only twenty million dollars When you take sixty eight million 305 00:21:57,755 --> 00:22:02,035 Speaker 1: of it every year deferred, and you don't start getting 306 00:22:02,035 --> 00:22:05,035 Speaker 1: any of the deferred money until the year twenty thirty four. 307 00:22:05,715 --> 00:22:08,435 Speaker 1: That turns out to be show Hey Otani's commitment to 308 00:22:08,475 --> 00:22:12,635 Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Dodgers, and fittingly, this gifted athlete found 309 00:22:12,675 --> 00:22:15,955 Speaker 1: a way through not one, but two loopholes, because the 310 00:22:16,035 --> 00:22:19,555 Speaker 1: deferral means the Dodgers will not have baseballs so called 311 00:22:19,675 --> 00:22:24,355 Speaker 1: luxury tax applied on Otani's full salary of seventy million 312 00:22:24,355 --> 00:22:27,475 Speaker 1: a year only on about forty six million a year. 313 00:22:28,275 --> 00:22:31,635 Speaker 1: Plus if Otani is not living in California in the 314 00:22:31,715 --> 00:22:35,595 Speaker 1: year twenty thirty four, when that deferred doz starts rolling in, 315 00:22:36,875 --> 00:22:41,355 Speaker 1: it's not going to be taxable in California elsewhere, Yeah, 316 00:22:41,475 --> 00:22:45,355 Speaker 1: or maybe, but that means what what Otani has done 317 00:22:45,675 --> 00:22:56,435 Speaker 1: is selfless and selfish at the same time. Date line Toronto, 318 00:22:56,635 --> 00:22:59,155 Speaker 1: So what happened to the short, unhappy life of show 319 00:22:59,195 --> 00:23:04,075 Speaker 1: Hey Otani of the Toronto Blue Jays Last Friday? For 320 00:23:04,115 --> 00:23:07,435 Speaker 1: about three hours, not just Toronto, but all of Canada 321 00:23:08,035 --> 00:23:10,875 Speaker 1: rang with the kind of joy that might not have 322 00:23:10,955 --> 00:23:14,675 Speaker 1: been felt there since World War Two ended At four 323 00:23:14,715 --> 00:23:18,235 Speaker 1: oh one Eastern time Friday afternoon, Fox and MLB network 324 00:23:18,275 --> 00:23:22,115 Speaker 1: reporter John Paul Morosi tweeted that Otani was on his 325 00:23:22,275 --> 00:23:27,035 Speaker 1: way to Toronto. He caveated at this hour Otani does 326 00:23:27,075 --> 00:23:30,875 Speaker 1: not have a signed agreement with any team, which made 327 00:23:30,915 --> 00:23:34,075 Speaker 1: it only sound more like Otani had just agreed to 328 00:23:34,155 --> 00:23:37,915 Speaker 1: sign with the Jays. Somehow. The story then mutated. Then 329 00:23:37,955 --> 00:23:40,355 Speaker 1: it had become Otani is going to be touching down 330 00:23:40,475 --> 00:23:45,835 Speaker 1: imminently in a private jetted Piarson Airport in Toronto. The Jays, 331 00:23:46,115 --> 00:23:48,955 Speaker 1: the last non Yankee team to win back to back 332 00:23:49,035 --> 00:23:51,875 Speaker 1: World Series since the nineteen seventy five and nineteen seventy 333 00:23:51,875 --> 00:23:55,315 Speaker 1: six Reds, have done almost nothing in the thirty years 334 00:23:55,435 --> 00:23:58,555 Speaker 1: since they won back to back World Series. In the interim, 335 00:23:58,595 --> 00:24:01,915 Speaker 1: Canada had lost its other baseball team, the Montreal Expos. 336 00:24:02,435 --> 00:24:05,435 Speaker 1: Canada's hockey teams haven't won the Stanley Cup up since 337 00:24:05,475 --> 00:24:09,515 Speaker 1: that same nineteen ninety three campaign. The Buffalo Bills were 338 00:24:09,515 --> 00:24:11,875 Speaker 1: supposed to move at least part time to Toronto, and 339 00:24:11,915 --> 00:24:12,715 Speaker 1: that never happened. 340 00:24:13,675 --> 00:24:14,715 Speaker 2: And here it was. 341 00:24:15,155 --> 00:24:20,875 Speaker 1: Show Hey O'tani the Blue Jays, a nation believed it 342 00:24:20,915 --> 00:24:27,155 Speaker 1: had signed a free agent messiah. Then the private plane 343 00:24:27,275 --> 00:24:33,315 Speaker 1: touched down in Toronto an outstepped Robert Herjevek, who is 344 00:24:33,355 --> 00:24:39,035 Speaker 1: one of those investor guys on Shark Week or Land 345 00:24:39,075 --> 00:24:42,795 Speaker 1: Shark or no whatever that show is called, and a 346 00:24:42,875 --> 00:24:47,795 Speaker 1: nation believed it had been conned. And then at nine PM, 347 00:24:47,915 --> 00:24:51,595 Speaker 1: show Hey Otani announced on his Instagram page that he 348 00:24:51,635 --> 00:24:54,315 Speaker 1: had decided to sign with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and 349 00:24:54,395 --> 00:24:57,195 Speaker 1: all of Canada said, all at once, it's not how 350 00:24:57,235 --> 00:25:01,515 Speaker 1: you spell Toronto Blue Jays. Well, what the hell happened 351 00:25:01,555 --> 00:25:05,155 Speaker 1: with Morosi's story? He stuck to it for hours, even 352 00:25:05,195 --> 00:25:09,515 Speaker 1: after Otani's announcement, and he was extraordinarily late in apologizing, 353 00:25:09,555 --> 00:25:13,275 Speaker 1: and he is largely laid low while he has been 354 00:25:13,355 --> 00:25:17,875 Speaker 1: fricksied in every market in this country and that one, 355 00:25:18,235 --> 00:25:22,115 Speaker 1: and I assume in Japan. But all I could think 356 00:25:22,155 --> 00:25:25,995 Speaker 1: of was, I know Morosi. He didn't make this up. 357 00:25:26,435 --> 00:25:29,875 Speaker 1: He didn't mishear it, He didn't go with a dodgy source. 358 00:25:30,355 --> 00:25:35,195 Speaker 1: This wasn't wishful thinking. He's an actual reporter with actual 359 00:25:35,355 --> 00:25:39,995 Speaker 1: sources and actual bosses. He had to have been convinced 360 00:25:40,235 --> 00:25:44,915 Speaker 1: his source or sources was or were right, And what 361 00:25:45,115 --> 00:25:50,235 Speaker 1: happened was they weren't. The sources screwed this up, and 362 00:25:50,435 --> 00:25:53,315 Speaker 1: I flashed back immediately and painfully. To the spring of 363 00:25:53,395 --> 00:25:56,555 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty eight, I was leaving KTLA Channel five in 364 00:25:56,675 --> 00:26:00,835 Speaker 1: Los Angeles to succeed Jim Lampley as the sports director 365 00:26:00,875 --> 00:26:04,595 Speaker 1: of KCBS Channel two down the block. Nice move for me, 366 00:26:05,555 --> 00:26:07,555 Speaker 1: like four blocks away. They gave me seven times what 367 00:26:07,635 --> 00:26:11,235 Speaker 1: I was making. May you be the focus of one 368 00:26:11,395 --> 00:26:16,435 Speaker 1: such bidding war in your life. Anyway, I had already 369 00:26:16,475 --> 00:26:19,235 Speaker 1: been working in Channel two's building for three years. I 370 00:26:19,275 --> 00:26:22,515 Speaker 1: did the afternoons radio sportscast on the sister all news 371 00:26:22,635 --> 00:26:26,355 Speaker 1: radio station to KCBS can X ten seventy and one 372 00:26:26,435 --> 00:26:29,635 Speaker 1: day in April, I wake up and Jim Lampley, who 373 00:26:29,675 --> 00:26:32,395 Speaker 1: will be switching from sportscaster to being the lead newscaster 374 00:26:32,795 --> 00:26:34,795 Speaker 1: and with whom I will be on the news three 375 00:26:34,835 --> 00:26:37,235 Speaker 1: times every day. Come August, he has gone on the 376 00:26:37,275 --> 00:26:40,875 Speaker 1: CBS television network and announced that Larry Brown, coach of 377 00:26:40,875 --> 00:26:43,795 Speaker 1: the new National College Champions at Kansas, is going to 378 00:26:43,875 --> 00:26:46,395 Speaker 1: quit that job to go to UCLA to become the 379 00:26:46,475 --> 00:26:51,155 Speaker 1: coach there again. He had failed the job in the seventies. 380 00:26:51,235 --> 00:26:55,435 Speaker 1: It's a huge story. It's out of the blue. And Lampley, 381 00:26:55,475 --> 00:26:57,795 Speaker 1: who have recruited me to go to Channel two has 382 00:26:57,875 --> 00:27:03,675 Speaker 1: broken it for us. I'm almost with Channel two. So 383 00:27:03,755 --> 00:27:05,835 Speaker 1: I go to Canex that afternoon and there's a note 384 00:27:05,835 --> 00:27:07,875 Speaker 1: for me to go see Lampley, and Lampley tells me 385 00:27:07,915 --> 00:27:12,195 Speaker 1: the story about how he got the story, and he says, 386 00:27:12,195 --> 00:27:14,715 Speaker 1: I can't tell anybody this, but his best friend in sports, 387 00:27:14,955 --> 00:27:17,795 Speaker 1: maybe his best friend period was his source for the story. 388 00:27:17,795 --> 00:27:20,715 Speaker 1: He tells me who that was and how impeccable the 389 00:27:20,755 --> 00:27:23,315 Speaker 1: source was, and I say, yes, that is an infeccable source. 390 00:27:23,315 --> 00:27:27,195 Speaker 1: All right, congratulations lamps. So we then go watch the 391 00:27:27,235 --> 00:27:29,755 Speaker 1: press conference from Kansas which Larry Brown is going to 392 00:27:29,755 --> 00:27:31,835 Speaker 1: say goodbye and he's going to UCLA, and he says, 393 00:27:32,195 --> 00:27:35,475 Speaker 1: I'd just like to announce that I will be staying 394 00:27:35,515 --> 00:27:38,875 Speaker 1: on as coach at Kansas and then he he slaps 395 00:27:38,915 --> 00:27:43,155 Speaker 1: his hand over his mouth. I mean like that, And 396 00:27:43,195 --> 00:27:47,235 Speaker 1: then I slapped my hand over my mouth, and UCLA 397 00:27:47,795 --> 00:27:50,075 Speaker 1: slapped its hand over its mouth, and Lampley may have 398 00:27:50,115 --> 00:27:52,435 Speaker 1: slapped a baseball bat over his mouth. And guess what, 399 00:27:52,555 --> 00:27:55,355 Speaker 1: Larry Brown did not become the new coach at UCLA. 400 00:27:56,435 --> 00:27:59,115 Speaker 1: And they frick to see Jim Lampley in LA and 401 00:27:59,195 --> 00:28:02,435 Speaker 1: in all of college basketball and half the newspapers in America. 402 00:28:02,435 --> 00:28:04,315 Speaker 1: And I never felt as bad for anybody else as 403 00:28:04,315 --> 00:28:06,755 Speaker 1: I did for Lamps because, as he had told me, 404 00:28:07,075 --> 00:28:10,155 Speaker 1: his impeccable source, his best friend in sports, who had 405 00:28:10,155 --> 00:28:15,475 Speaker 1: told him Larry Brown was going to UCLA, was Larry Brown. 406 00:28:17,155 --> 00:28:19,075 Speaker 1: Larry Brown had done two things when he went to 407 00:28:19,235 --> 00:28:26,275 Speaker 1: la He met with the chancellor, signed the agreement, and 408 00:28:26,315 --> 00:28:29,915 Speaker 1: he told Lampley they may have had a snack, and 409 00:28:29,955 --> 00:28:33,955 Speaker 1: then he changed his mind. Now I am not saying 410 00:28:34,035 --> 00:28:36,715 Speaker 1: John Paul Morosi's source for the Otani story was show 411 00:28:36,755 --> 00:28:39,435 Speaker 1: Hey Otani. I doubt it, but the second line of 412 00:28:39,475 --> 00:28:41,875 Speaker 1: the tweet that caused all the trouble was quote a 413 00:28:41,955 --> 00:28:47,355 Speaker 1: representative of Otani's agent, CAAA would not comment when asked 414 00:28:47,395 --> 00:28:53,115 Speaker 1: about Otani's travel plans. It has been speculated a lot 415 00:28:53,155 --> 00:28:57,275 Speaker 1: in Toronto that CIA used the Blue Jays, and for 416 00:28:57,315 --> 00:29:01,155 Speaker 1: that matter, used John Paul Morosi the reporter, to light 417 00:29:01,275 --> 00:29:04,235 Speaker 1: a final fire under the Dodgers to get them to 418 00:29:04,395 --> 00:29:07,715 Speaker 1: seven one hundred million dollars over ten years. True or not, 419 00:29:09,595 --> 00:29:12,635 Speaker 1: his story does not make it just to Twitter, let 420 00:29:12,675 --> 00:29:17,195 Speaker 1: alone anywhere else if it's not phrased that way and 421 00:29:17,235 --> 00:29:19,515 Speaker 1: it's not phrased that way. If Morosi does not have 422 00:29:19,555 --> 00:29:24,555 Speaker 1: full confidence that his source was authoritative and correct, and 423 00:29:24,595 --> 00:29:27,555 Speaker 1: it ain't fair. And it doesn't happen all that often. 424 00:29:27,595 --> 00:29:29,875 Speaker 1: But when your source is wrong, if you are a 425 00:29:29,915 --> 00:29:36,075 Speaker 1: real reporter, your source walks away, unknown, unidentified, and unscathed 426 00:29:36,515 --> 00:29:42,075 Speaker 1: because you're taking the fall. I wonder what the odds 427 00:29:42,075 --> 00:29:45,555 Speaker 1: are that Morossi's Blue Jays plane landing in Toronto source 428 00:29:45,715 --> 00:29:56,635 Speaker 1: was Larry Brown. Oh, Nancy, I had the scoop, but 429 00:29:56,915 --> 00:30:00,755 Speaker 1: you had the contract. Then I had the story, the 430 00:30:00,875 --> 00:30:05,635 Speaker 1: plane and the hours. I wish you had signed with 431 00:30:05,835 --> 00:30:10,115 Speaker 1: Toronto Deer showy, because now my career has been sent 432 00:30:10,195 --> 00:30:15,475 Speaker 1: to the showers. Where where are you? 433 00:30:15,595 --> 00:30:15,995 Speaker 2: Do not? 434 00:30:16,955 --> 00:30:20,195 Speaker 1: How could you leave me here all alone? 435 00:30:21,555 --> 00:30:24,395 Speaker 2: I searched the world over and I thought. 436 00:30:24,235 --> 00:30:27,675 Speaker 3: Up out of towney, But you met the Dodgers and 437 00:30:28,635 --> 00:30:29,275 Speaker 3: was gone. 438 00:30:30,395 --> 00:31:00,115 Speaker 1: Fink, Nancy Faust, that was Archie Campbell from Hehaw look 439 00:31:00,155 --> 00:31:03,195 Speaker 1: it up. It wasn't Archie Campbell, obviously it was me 440 00:31:03,475 --> 00:31:09,155 Speaker 1: singing doing an homage to Archy Campbell, and you was 441 00:31:09,195 --> 00:31:12,875 Speaker 1: gone still to come on this all new edition of Countdown. 442 00:31:12,955 --> 00:31:15,675 Speaker 1: So I'm looking for a cassette and instead I find 443 00:31:15,795 --> 00:31:20,955 Speaker 1: a different cassette. This cassette had on it the sportscast 444 00:31:21,195 --> 00:31:26,595 Speaker 1: I did on my eighteenth birthday. Now it's your choice. 445 00:31:27,115 --> 00:31:29,595 Speaker 1: You can listen to it next in Things I Promised 446 00:31:29,595 --> 00:31:31,475 Speaker 1: Not to Tell and a couple of other things from 447 00:31:31,515 --> 00:31:35,515 Speaker 1: that cassette, or you can just bail out. After the 448 00:31:35,595 --> 00:31:38,195 Speaker 1: daily roundup of the miscreants, morons and Dunning Kruker of 449 00:31:38,315 --> 00:31:42,315 Speaker 1: X Specimens who constitute today's worst persons in the world worse, 450 00:31:43,515 --> 00:31:47,715 Speaker 1: vive Ramaswami went on a Twitter space with Count Dracula 451 00:31:47,795 --> 00:31:51,915 Speaker 1: and Emon Musk and Satan and Alex Jones and another 452 00:31:51,955 --> 00:31:56,555 Speaker 1: Satan and Vivek forgot to mute his mic as he 453 00:31:56,635 --> 00:32:00,595 Speaker 1: went to use the little boys room.

There is a pee tape. 456 00:32:07,235 --> 00:32:10,275 Speaker 1: First of all, I think it's the most cogent statement 457 00:32:10,315 --> 00:32:13,675 Speaker 1: I've ever heard him make. Secondly, are we sure that 458 00:32:13,835 --> 00:32:16,635 Speaker 1: was him and not just the sound of Musk pissing 459 00:32:16,675 --> 00:32:20,875 Speaker 1: away all that money he spent to buy Twitter runner 460 00:32:20,955 --> 00:32:24,275 Speaker 1: up worser all climate deniers everywhere, Just in case you 461 00:32:24,315 --> 00:32:26,595 Speaker 1: thought climate change would not be the end of the world, 462 00:32:26,955 --> 00:32:29,355 Speaker 1: Oh no, it'll be the end of the world.

Yeah, hazardous wastes underwater at best, 469 00:33:01,915 --> 00:33:04,555 Speaker 1: that would poison all the sea water.

One of the positives, though, is if 503 00:35:02,395 --> 00:35:04,675 Speaker 1: you are looking for something from your past, the odds 504 00:35:04,795 --> 00:35:07,395 Speaker 1: are about two to one that you still own it 505 00:35:07,435 --> 00:35:11,115 Speaker 1: and have it somewhere now. The negative to that, of course, 506 00:35:11,195 --> 00:35:13,475 Speaker 1: is that if you're looking for something in particular, you're 507 00:35:13,675 --> 00:35:17,195 Speaker 1: likely to find the thing that was adjacent to it historically, 508 00:35:17,395 --> 00:35:21,115 Speaker 1: not the thing you wanted, but something contemporaneous and nearby, 509 00:35:21,995 --> 00:35:24,395 Speaker 1: and that leads to where we are today. I was 510 00:35:24,395 --> 00:35:27,715 Speaker 1: looking for a cassette tape from the nineteen seventies and 511 00:35:27,835 --> 00:35:31,235 Speaker 1: found instead a cassette tape from the nineteen seventies that 512 00:35:31,315 --> 00:35:33,875 Speaker 1: wasn't the one I was looking for. What is on 513 00:35:33,955 --> 00:35:37,555 Speaker 1: this cassette tape is nothing less than about fifteen or 514 00:35:37,635 --> 00:35:42,915 Speaker 1: twenty different broadcasts of mine from WVBRFM and Ithaca, New York, 515 00:35:42,995 --> 00:35:45,635 Speaker 1: my college radio station while I was a student at Cornell, 516 00:35:46,235 --> 00:35:50,035 Speaker 1: from the last week of January nineteen seventy seven and 517 00:35:50,075 --> 00:35:54,195 Speaker 1: the first week of February nineteen seventy seven, including the 518 00:35:54,275 --> 00:36:00,995 Speaker 1: sports cast on my eighteenth birthday.

Today, a story 548 00:37:12,835 --> 00:37:14,995 Speaker 6: in the Oakland Press states that La Rams coach Chuck 549 00:37:15,075 --> 00:37:17,275 Speaker 6: Knox will leave his job with the Rams and will 550 00:37:17,315 --> 00:37:19,835 Speaker 6: take over the Detroit Lions.

Most of the problems you 643 00:41:16,515 --> 00:41:18,475 Speaker 1: hear with this broadcast are not that I didn't know 644 00:41:18,515 --> 00:41:20,315 Speaker 1: what I was talking about, but that it was six 645 00:41:20,355 --> 00:41:23,275 Speaker 1: AM and I'd probably had about ninety minutes of sleep, 646 00:41:23,355 --> 00:41:27,555 Speaker 1: if that much.

Watson had two birdies 835 00:49:37,115 --> 00:49:40,275 Speaker 6: and no bogies before the turn, while Jacqueline had three birdies. 836 00:49:39,915 --> 00:49:40,795 Speaker 2: And one bogie. 837 00:49:40,875 --> 00:49:43,795 Speaker 6: That put Watson at fifteen under par after sixty three holes. 838 00:49:43,955 --> 00:49:46,235 Speaker 6: At that point, Leelder was two back and Vic Gregalotto 839 00:49:46,355 --> 00:49:48,675 Speaker 6: four strokes off the pace. No one else seemed to 840 00:49:48,715 --> 00:49:50,715 Speaker 6: have a chance for the forty thousand dollars top prize 841 00:49:50,795 --> 00:49:52,955 Speaker 6: right now, with Watson on the fourteenth hole. The leaders 842 00:49:52,955 --> 00:49:56,275 Speaker 6: are Watson at a sixteen hunder par, Jacqueline is fourteen under, 843 00:49:56,315 --> 00:49:59,755 Speaker 6: two strokes back, Lee Elder three strokes back at minus thirteen, 844 00:49:59,835 --> 00:50:02,475 Speaker 6: and Bruce Devlin and Bill Rodgers six strokes back at 845 00:50:02,475 --> 00:50:07,675 Speaker 6: minus ten.

He was fourth within 876 00:51:16,715 --> 00:51:18,355 Speaker 6: a lap and second with six laps to go, but 877 00:51:18,395 --> 00:51:19,195 Speaker 6: he never could catch the. 878 00:51:19,195 --> 00:51:20,075 Speaker 2: Front running Ferrari. 879 00:51:20,435 --> 00:51:23,355 Speaker 6: There was one minor accident involving Frenchman Patrick Depallier, but 880 00:51:23,435 --> 00:51:27,155 Speaker 6: doctors at the track infirmary said he was not seriously hurt. Also, 881 00:51:27,155 --> 00:51:28,915 Speaker 6: in auto racing, only four of the one hundred and 882 00:51:28,955 --> 00:51:31,075 Speaker 6: ninety eight teams which started the forty fifth Monty carl 883 00:51:31,155 --> 00:51:33,035 Speaker 6: Auto Rally have dropped out of the race. 884 00:51:32,955 --> 00:51:34,115 Speaker 2: During the first night on the road. 885 00:51:34,435 --> 00:51:37,035 Speaker 6: The crews, which started from eight different points throughout Europe, 886 00:51:37,195 --> 00:51:38,915 Speaker 6: hope to reach a common point in the French Alps 887 00:51:38,955 --> 00:51:41,675 Speaker 6: early tomorrow morning, after two nights and one day of 888 00:51:41,755 --> 00:51:45,235 Speaker 6: non stop driving. Then the field will begin the rally's 889 00:51:45,235 --> 00:51:48,595 Speaker 6: second stage, consisting of special time trial sections which will 890 00:51:48,635 --> 00:51:50,915 Speaker 6: take them to Monty Carlo via the most treacherous roads 891 00:51:50,915 --> 00:51:53,755 Speaker 6: of the French Alps. Though weather conditions have been favorable 892 00:51:53,835 --> 00:51:55,955 Speaker 6: up until now, organizers say they might have to call 893 00:51:55,995 --> 00:51:58,595 Speaker 6: off the second special time trial because snow and ice 894 00:51:58,635 --> 00:52:01,755 Speaker 6: have completely closed one pass through the Alps. Although authorities 895 00:52:01,755 --> 00:52:04,115 Speaker 6: refused to clear the roads, local residents pulled their shovels 896 00:52:04,155 --> 00:52:06,635 Speaker 6: from their garage and worked all day yesterday and today 897 00:52:06,635 --> 00:52:09,115 Speaker 6: trying to make the road passable. Obviously it's worth some 898 00:52:09,155 --> 00:52:12,035 Speaker 6: money to them. The first unofficial standings will be given 899 00:52:12,075 --> 00:52:14,435 Speaker 6: tomorrow night, and rally fans already have their eyes peeled 900 00:52:14,435 --> 00:52:17,155 Speaker 6: for an Italian driver named Sandro Munari, who is trying for. 901 00:52:17,075 --> 00:52:19,395 Speaker 2: A record equaling a fourth win in the Winter Classic. 902 00:52:20,475 --> 00:52:21,075 Speaker 1: For the locals. 903 00:52:21,115 --> 00:52:23,675 Speaker 6: Over the weekend, it was a very upbeat weekend, specifically 904 00:52:23,755 --> 00:52:26,195 Speaker 6: the Cornell basketball team, which may have hit a turning point. 905 00:52:26,195 --> 00:52:28,875 Speaker 6: Friday night against Columbia, the Red fought back from a 906 00:52:28,915 --> 00:52:31,235 Speaker 6: twenty four point deficit in the third quarter, and although 907 00:52:31,235 --> 00:52:33,555 Speaker 6: they lost the game by two points score seventy six 908 00:52:33,555 --> 00:52:36,555 Speaker 6: to seventy four, they still exhibited a previously unseen game 909 00:52:36,555 --> 00:52:39,795 Speaker 6: control and enthusiasm, even when the two keys in the comeback, 910 00:52:39,875 --> 00:52:42,155 Speaker 6: Stan Brown and Jim Atkins, filed out of the game. 911 00:52:42,675 --> 00:52:44,715 Speaker 2: The enthusiasm carried into Saturday. 912 00:52:44,315 --> 00:52:46,355 Speaker 6: When the Red played Fordham at Barton Hall and did 913 00:52:46,355 --> 00:52:48,635 Speaker 6: it again, coming back from an early big deficit to 914 00:52:48,675 --> 00:52:50,755 Speaker 6: finally win in triple overtime by the score of seventy 915 00:52:50,795 --> 00:52:53,035 Speaker 6: four to seventy eight. Points from the free throw line 916 00:52:53,035 --> 00:52:55,715 Speaker 6: in the final extra period, made the difference. Ben Blewett's 917 00:52:55,715 --> 00:52:57,315 Speaker 6: team is still only three to eleven on the year, 918 00:52:57,315 --> 00:52:58,835 Speaker 6: but the season does not look to be the kind 919 00:52:58,835 --> 00:53:01,195 Speaker 6: of disaster it was developing into as of last week. 920 00:53:02,555 --> 00:53:05,075 Speaker 6: The Cornell hockey team, coming off the eleven eight ufest 921 00:53:05,115 --> 00:53:08,195 Speaker 6: with clarkson Wednesday night, walked all over Yale yesterday evening 922 00:53:08,235 --> 00:53:10,075 Speaker 6: at New Haven, winning seven to one. 923 00:53:10,355 --> 00:53:12,075 Speaker 2: Interestingly enough, Steve Napier, who. 924 00:53:12,035 --> 00:53:14,075 Speaker 6: Was pulled out of the Cornell goal Wednesday night because 925 00:53:14,075 --> 00:53:15,995 Speaker 6: coach Dick Bertrand thought he was being beaten by a 926 00:53:16,075 --> 00:53:19,195 Speaker 6: very odious kind of goal. The stuffer, as Bertrand calls it, 927 00:53:19,235 --> 00:53:21,915 Speaker 6: started in goal and was obviously successful. Against the EUIs. 928 00:53:22,195 --> 00:53:24,715 Speaker 6: Steve made thirty one saves and only allowed the one goal. 929 00:53:25,635 --> 00:53:28,075 Speaker 6: Seven different Red players scored goals, and the club really 930 00:53:28,115 --> 00:53:30,235 Speaker 6: looks to be as improved as both coach Bertrand and 931 00:53:30,275 --> 00:53:33,275 Speaker 6: leading scorer Alliance nether E stated this week on WVBR. 932 00:53:33,955 --> 00:53:37,275 Speaker 6: Ithaca College's basketball team had little trouble with Courtland last night, 933 00:53:37,315 --> 00:53:39,835 Speaker 6: winning eighty one to sixty. Joe Casey had twenty points 934 00:53:39,835 --> 00:53:42,115 Speaker 6: for the Bombers and Herb Richmond sixteen, and the bench 935 00:53:42,155 --> 00:53:43,955 Speaker 6: got a chance to play in what was a surprisingly 936 00:53:43,995 --> 00:53:46,475 Speaker 6: easy victory for IC. They were expected to have at 937 00:53:46,555 --> 00:53:48,875 Speaker 6: least some trouble with the Courtland Dragons. The only reason 938 00:53:48,875 --> 00:53:50,555 Speaker 6: the score was as close as it was was the 939 00:53:50,555 --> 00:53:52,995 Speaker 6: frequent use of the substitutes, or the frequent use of 940 00:53:52,995 --> 00:53:55,515 Speaker 6: the word was a couple of other scores from yesterday 941 00:53:55,515 --> 00:53:57,835 Speaker 6: and wrestling Ethica beat Courtland forty two to five, and 942 00:53:57,875 --> 00:54:00,355 Speaker 6: in JV basketball between the same two squads, it was 943 00:54:00,595 --> 00:54:02,555 Speaker 6: IC by the score of seventy two to fifty six. 944 00:54:02,915 --> 00:54:06,115 Speaker 6: RPI swimming beat IC sixty six forty four, Cornell fencing 945 00:54:06,195 --> 00:54:07,115 Speaker 6: top Columbia by the. 946 00:54:07,035 --> 00:54:08,195 Speaker 2: Score of nineteen to eight. 947 00:54:09,755 --> 00:54:12,435 Speaker 6: It's difficult and usually foolish to make predictions of any kind, 948 00:54:12,475 --> 00:54:14,195 Speaker 6: but I will make some predictions on the sports year 949 00:54:14,195 --> 00:54:18,155 Speaker 6: in nineteen seventy seven after this, Oh boy, As I said, 950 00:54:18,155 --> 00:54:20,835 Speaker 6: it's difficult and usually foolish to make predictions of any kind, 951 00:54:20,915 --> 00:54:22,835 Speaker 6: especially for a full year, But then I have never 952 00:54:22,875 --> 00:54:24,995 Speaker 6: been one to listen to reason anyway, So here goes 953 00:54:25,355 --> 00:54:26,155 Speaker 6: first and foremost. 954 00:54:26,195 --> 00:54:26,835 Speaker 2: At least one. 955 00:54:26,755 --> 00:54:29,755 Speaker 6: Professional sports league will disappear during the upcoming year, and 956 00:54:29,875 --> 00:54:32,115 Speaker 6: my bet is that it will be the World Hockey Association, 957 00:54:32,155 --> 00:54:35,035 Speaker 6: which will slowly and painfully drop into nothingness, much like 958 00:54:35,075 --> 00:54:37,275 Speaker 6: the American Basketball Association did last year. 959 00:54:37,435 --> 00:54:39,635 Speaker 2: That's when the ABA started in the production of as 960 00:54:39,675 --> 00:54:40,435 Speaker 2: the league's fold. 961 00:54:40,875 --> 00:54:43,315 Speaker 6: The WHA has been bouncing along since nineteen seventy two 962 00:54:43,355 --> 00:54:45,075 Speaker 6: and has yet to get the kind of national attention 963 00:54:45,115 --> 00:54:47,875 Speaker 6: any league must get in order to survive. All its 964 00:54:47,955 --> 00:54:50,395 Speaker 6: name jumpers from the NHL. Bobby Hall, Gordy Howe, and 965 00:54:50,435 --> 00:54:52,875 Speaker 6: Jerry Cheevers, for instance, are either back in the National 966 00:54:52,875 --> 00:54:55,315 Speaker 6: Hockey League already or we'll be heading back next season. 967 00:54:55,635 --> 00:54:57,275 Speaker 6: The league hasn't had a team in New York City 968 00:54:57,275 --> 00:54:59,915 Speaker 6: since early nineteen seventy four, when a monstrosity called the 969 00:54:59,915 --> 00:55:02,995 Speaker 6: New York Golden Blades packed bags for Cherry Hill, New Jersey, 970 00:55:03,155 --> 00:55:06,075 Speaker 6: and then San Diego. No pro sports league has managed 971 00:55:06,115 --> 00:55:08,035 Speaker 6: to survive without a New York club if you exclude 972 00:55:08,075 --> 00:55:10,955 Speaker 6: the Canadian Football League, and interestingly, the CFL was at 973 00:55:10,995 --> 00:55:13,755 Speaker 6: one time considering putting a team in New York. We're 974 00:55:13,795 --> 00:55:16,315 Speaker 6: already seeing the early parts of the demise of the WHA. 975 00:55:16,515 --> 00:55:19,115 Speaker 6: The Minnesota Fighting Saints, the second franchise in the league's 976 00:55:19,115 --> 00:55:22,395 Speaker 6: history to bear that burdensome name, folded last week after 977 00:55:22,435 --> 00:55:24,955 Speaker 6: selling most of their top stars to Winnipeg and Calgary. 978 00:55:25,315 --> 00:55:27,555 Speaker 6: Next to you all will probably be the Indianapolis Racers, 979 00:55:27,595 --> 00:55:29,395 Speaker 6: who are playing good hockey, but they're playing it as 980 00:55:29,395 --> 00:55:32,035 Speaker 6: a hobby that haven't been paid in several weeks. Number 981 00:55:32,035 --> 00:55:34,115 Speaker 6: three will be the Birmingham Bulls, and it's amazing that 982 00:55:34,115 --> 00:55:37,275 Speaker 6: pro hockey has lasted as long as five months in Birmingham, Alabama. 983 00:55:37,355 --> 00:55:39,995 Speaker 6: And after that it's just a matter of time. Sometime 984 00:55:40,075 --> 00:55:42,155 Speaker 6: during the summer, what is left of the WAHA won'll 985 00:55:42,235 --> 00:55:45,835 Speaker 6: merge with the NHL, but unlike last year's NBA ABA merger, 986 00:55:45,955 --> 00:55:48,875 Speaker 6: this will not be a volume deal afforded the opportunity 987 00:55:48,875 --> 00:55:51,595 Speaker 6: of stepping on some toes without threat of another league's competition. 988 00:55:51,875 --> 00:55:55,035 Speaker 6: The NHL will realize that its cancerous expansion can yet 989 00:55:55,075 --> 00:55:57,675 Speaker 6: be corrected, and it will completely revise pro hockey. 990 00:55:57,995 --> 00:55:59,195 Speaker 2: The NHL will finally. 991 00:55:58,995 --> 00:56:02,075 Speaker 6: Pull out of Pittsburgh and probably dump the financially troubled Colorado, 992 00:56:02,075 --> 00:56:07,475 Speaker 6: Cleveland and Atlanta clubs. The stronger WHA team's financially sluable Quebec, Winnipeg, Houston, 993 00:56:07,515 --> 00:56:10,395 Speaker 6: and possibly Calgary or Edmonton will be added in their place. 994 00:56:10,755 --> 00:56:12,955 Speaker 6: Remaining talent will be spread among the eighteen teams in 995 00:56:12,995 --> 00:56:15,755 Speaker 6: a dispersal draft that will immeasurably improve. 996 00:56:15,475 --> 00:56:18,395 Speaker 2: The quality of the hockey played. In the world of boxing, 997 00:56:18,475 --> 00:56:19,675 Speaker 2: Muhammad Ali will fight. 998 00:56:19,515 --> 00:56:22,475 Speaker 6: At least once more, defend his title against somebody's grandmother, 999 00:56:22,515 --> 00:56:24,275 Speaker 6: and then retire, possibly more than once. 1000 00:56:24,595 --> 00:56:26,955 Speaker 2: Football will see Joe Namath return to the New York. 1001 00:56:26,835 --> 00:56:29,595 Speaker 6: Jets, despite his Network TV statements to the contrary, but 1002 00:56:29,675 --> 00:56:31,515 Speaker 6: OJ Simpson may finally get his wish to go to 1003 00:56:31,515 --> 00:56:32,155 Speaker 6: Los Angeles. 1004 00:56:32,475 --> 00:56:33,595 Speaker 2: If Oj doesn't. 1005 00:56:33,315 --> 00:56:35,315 Speaker 6: At his sentence to Buffalo for a few more years, 1006 00:56:35,435 --> 00:56:38,115 Speaker 6: he will continue to play. Something tells me he realizes 1007 00:56:38,155 --> 00:56:41,515 Speaker 6: his acting abilities are not more than average. The lead 1008 00:56:41,635 --> 00:56:43,675 Speaker 6: is going to come off the stormy cauldron of baseball, 1009 00:56:43,875 --> 00:56:45,835 Speaker 6: and that lit of course Commissioner Buie Qun has been 1010 00:56:45,835 --> 00:56:48,275 Speaker 6: sitting on for eight years. Qune will annoy one or 1011 00:56:48,315 --> 00:56:50,395 Speaker 6: two more owners during the season, and the anti Kune 1012 00:56:50,395 --> 00:56:52,835 Speaker 6: forces will have a majority finally and will can the 1013 00:56:52,835 --> 00:56:55,155 Speaker 6: commissioner in a June meeting. On the field, the two 1014 00:56:55,155 --> 00:56:57,755 Speaker 6: new American League clubs, Seattle and Toronto will stink and 1015 00:56:57,915 --> 00:57:00,395 Speaker 6: sink rather quickly. The Yankees and the Red Sox will 1016 00:57:00,435 --> 00:57:02,555 Speaker 6: have a surprising race for the pennant in the American Leaguees, 1017 00:57:02,755 --> 00:57:04,915 Speaker 6: probably due to a critical injury to a Yankee rasgular 1018 00:57:04,995 --> 00:57:07,675 Speaker 6: such as Thurman Munson. The Indians may be involved in 1019 00:57:07,715 --> 00:57:10,315 Speaker 6: that title chase as well, and if the California Angels 1020 00:57:10,315 --> 00:57:12,355 Speaker 6: can complete a trade for an experienced catcher, they will 1021 00:57:12,355 --> 00:57:14,555 Speaker 6: take the American League West. In the National League, the 1022 00:57:14,595 --> 00:57:16,315 Speaker 6: Reds and Phillies will repeat, but the Phils may have 1023 00:57:16,355 --> 00:57:18,595 Speaker 6: a better shot at Cincinnati this time. As to the 1024 00:57:18,595 --> 00:57:20,875 Speaker 6: World Series, at this point, who knows and who cares. 1025 00:57:21,315 --> 00:57:23,795 Speaker 6: But the most interesting thing in baseball will come next November, 1026 00:57:23,795 --> 00:57:25,595 Speaker 6: when a host of new free agents will seek even 1027 00:57:25,635 --> 00:57:28,475 Speaker 6: fatter contracts for nineteen seventy eight. If the prizes get 1028 00:57:28,475 --> 00:57:30,395 Speaker 6: too staggering, look for collusion on the parts of the 1029 00:57:30,395 --> 00:57:33,795 Speaker 6: owners not to sign that is, blacklist several militant players, 1030 00:57:33,955 --> 00:57:36,275 Speaker 6: and look for those players to sue the sport and win, 1031 00:57:36,475 --> 00:57:38,955 Speaker 6: sending much of the organized sports tumbling down to the ground. 1032 00:57:39,275 --> 00:57:41,515 Speaker 6: Then Marvin Miller will become Sports Commissioner of the World. 1033 00:57:41,515 --> 00:57:44,075 Speaker 6: Howard Kossel will be without anything to comment on. And 1034 00:57:45,475 --> 00:57:47,235 Speaker 6: obviously I've gone a bit off the deep end right 1035 00:57:47,275 --> 00:57:49,595 Speaker 6: about now. That is a good que to c scorecasting. 1036 00:57:49,715 --> 00:57:51,835 Speaker 6: Let's wait and see what nineteen seventy seven really has 1037 00:57:51,875 --> 00:57:54,835 Speaker 6: for us that sports weekend. For this Sunday, January the 1038 00:57:54,875 --> 00:57:57,755 Speaker 6: twenty third, nineteen seventy seven, Jim Savage will be back. 1039 00:57:57,635 --> 00:58:00,835 Speaker 2: With more scores tonight on late edition Battle eleven. WDDRS 1040 00:58:00,835 --> 00:58:02,435 Speaker 2: Sports signed Keith hold good Night. 1041 00:58:11,675 --> 00:58:14,235 Speaker 6: Also in hockey, this evening, the Cornell JB team takes 1042 00:58:14,235 --> 00:58:15,955 Speaker 6: on the Ithaca Stars and what should be a good 1043 00:58:15,955 --> 00:58:18,355 Speaker 6: one at Lina. The two teams meet again on Monday 1044 00:58:18,435 --> 00:58:20,795 Speaker 6: night and what is in effect a home and home series. 1045 00:58:20,995 --> 00:58:23,075 Speaker 6: The Stars incidentally have set up a fifty nine dollars 1046 00:58:23,115 --> 00:58:25,715 Speaker 6: trip to Montreal for fans interested in following the club 1047 00:58:25,875 --> 00:58:28,835 Speaker 6: at the prestigious Moulson Tournament two weeks.

As a public service, 1054 00:58:47,955 --> 00:58:50,075 Speaker 6: I will now correct an error regarding mister Sanders made 1055 00:58:50,115 --> 00:58:52,995 Speaker 6: in one of Ithaca's leading morning papers today. His nickname 1056 00:58:53,035 --> 00:58:56,155 Speaker 6: is Satch, not Snatch. There is a difference, but I 1057 00:58:56,195 --> 00:58:58,755 Speaker 6: will not explored further.
