1 00:00:04,795 --> 00:00:21,155 Speaker 1: Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. I 2 00:00:21,355 --> 00:00:27,955 Speaker 1: think this phony FBI whistleblower Alexander Smirnoff is flipping the 3 00:00:28,075 --> 00:00:31,515 Speaker 1: key to the Hunter Biden fabricated smear, the key to 4 00:00:31,555 --> 00:00:35,795 Speaker 1: the entire Barisma fabricated story, the key to the entire 5 00:00:35,955 --> 00:00:40,515 Speaker 1: Joe Biden fabricated impeachment, The key, it now turns out, 6 00:00:40,955 --> 00:00:43,875 Speaker 1: to the blowing up of the Hunter Biden plea deal, 7 00:00:44,075 --> 00:00:48,675 Speaker 1: the key to the entire network of Republican politicians owned 8 00:00:48,835 --> 00:00:53,475 Speaker 1: and operated in this country by Vladimir Putin and Russian intelligence. 9 00:00:53,715 --> 00:00:59,515 Speaker 1: Trump included this guy, Smirnoff. I think he's flipping the 10 00:00:59,555 --> 00:01:02,195 Speaker 1: guy they arrested last week for lying to the FBI, 11 00:01:02,475 --> 00:01:05,715 Speaker 1: the guy they immediately announced had told him that he 12 00:01:05,755 --> 00:01:08,395 Speaker 1: had made up the story about the Bidens and the 13 00:01:08,475 --> 00:01:11,115 Speaker 1: bribes and the this and then that, And this was 14 00:01:11,315 --> 00:01:15,955 Speaker 1: days after the same prosecutors had been convinced he was 15 00:01:16,075 --> 00:01:20,475 Speaker 1: the key to the prosecution of Hunter Biden. The guy 16 00:01:20,995 --> 00:01:23,875 Speaker 1: who day before yesterday is then quoted as saying the 17 00:01:23,955 --> 00:01:28,515 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden information was being trafficked by people associated with 18 00:01:28,635 --> 00:01:37,035 Speaker 1: Russian intelligence. Smirnoff, Alexander Smirnoff, I think he's flipping. Now 19 00:01:37,075 --> 00:01:43,115 Speaker 1: I see one thin, frail read of evidence supporting my hunch. 20 00:01:43,715 --> 00:01:46,915 Speaker 1: And still I'm just reading between the lines here, and 21 00:01:46,955 --> 00:01:49,355 Speaker 1: I could be completely wrong. And even if I'm right, 22 00:01:49,475 --> 00:01:52,875 Speaker 1: Is he flipping against Trump? Is he flipping against James Comer? 23 00:01:53,355 --> 00:01:57,155 Speaker 1: Is he flipping against that scumbag Jim Jordan? Probably not. 24 00:01:57,755 --> 00:02:02,635 Speaker 1: If he's flipping against anybody, it would likeliest be flipping 25 00:02:02,755 --> 00:02:06,635 Speaker 1: against whoever he meant in that one sentence in that 26 00:02:06,715 --> 00:02:12,075 Speaker 1: bombshell FBI report. During his custodial interview on February fourteen, 27 00:02:12,235 --> 00:02:17,515 Speaker 1: Smirnoff admitted that officials associated with Russian intelligence were involved 28 00:02:17,555 --> 00:02:22,715 Speaker 1: in passing the story about Hunter Biden. Because if he's 29 00:02:22,755 --> 00:02:28,155 Speaker 1: not flipping, why did he admit that his case is 30 00:02:28,235 --> 00:02:33,235 Speaker 1: now being prosecuted by the same guy who they had 31 00:02:33,315 --> 00:02:36,195 Speaker 1: just made the special counsel in the Hunter Biden case 32 00:02:36,595 --> 00:02:41,515 Speaker 1: that just fell apart. Alexander Smirnoff is now being prosecuted 33 00:02:41,555 --> 00:02:45,715 Speaker 1: by David Weiss, and days ago, David Weiss still thought 34 00:02:45,755 --> 00:02:50,675 Speaker 1: Alexander Smirnoff was his star witness. Wah near my star witness. 35 00:02:50,715 --> 00:02:53,395 Speaker 1: Oh I scratch that. Now I'm sending you to prison. 36 00:02:55,275 --> 00:03:01,555 Speaker 1: And Smirnoff then confesses to David Weiss that the centerpiece 37 00:03:01,595 --> 00:03:05,115 Speaker 1: of the entire story, the entire Republican and Russian plot 38 00:03:05,235 --> 00:03:08,955 Speaker 1: against the Bidens, the smears against Hunter Biden were being 39 00:03:09,075 --> 00:03:14,155 Speaker 1: spread by Russian intel or people who were adjacent to 40 00:03:14,275 --> 00:03:20,195 Speaker 1: Russian intel. And Weiss puts that confession from Smirnoff in 41 00:03:20,235 --> 00:03:24,955 Speaker 1: Smirnoff's detention memo on the record right at the front 42 00:03:24,955 --> 00:03:29,035 Speaker 1: of the document. Smirnoff is already facing twenty years in 43 00:03:29,115 --> 00:03:32,275 Speaker 1: jail for the lie to the FBI, and now he's 44 00:03:32,355 --> 00:03:36,835 Speaker 1: confessing that the lie came from Russian intelligence. It may 45 00:03:36,875 --> 00:03:41,275 Speaker 1: have an international component. Why is he doing that. He's 46 00:03:41,315 --> 00:03:44,715 Speaker 1: adding to his confession, He's adding to his crime. He's 47 00:03:44,755 --> 00:03:50,755 Speaker 1: adding to his jail time. Unless he's confessing because he's flipped. 48 00:03:53,555 --> 00:03:58,515 Speaker 1: And look the other guy who has clearly already flipped 49 00:03:58,795 --> 00:04:05,315 Speaker 1: metaphorically anyway, is this man, David Weiss, the Hunter Biden counsel, 50 00:04:06,155 --> 00:04:13,475 Speaker 1: because his ass is in an even tighter sling than Smirnoff's. 51 00:04:13,635 --> 00:04:19,835 Speaker 1: Is he got fooled, used, played, manipulated, railroaded, bamboozled and 52 00:04:20,075 --> 00:04:26,315 Speaker 1: rolled by Smirnoff, by Smirnoff's officials associated with Russian intelligence, 53 00:04:28,035 --> 00:04:32,115 Speaker 1: by the Russians by the Republican politicians and Republican media 54 00:04:32,155 --> 00:04:36,635 Speaker 1: whores who are associated with Russian intelligence themselves, James Comer, 55 00:04:36,795 --> 00:04:40,715 Speaker 1: Jim Jordan, Marjorie Taylor, Green, Chuck Grassley, Sean Hannity and 56 00:04:40,715 --> 00:04:45,635 Speaker 1: of course the team of Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump. 57 00:04:47,755 --> 00:04:54,435 Speaker 1: So David Weiss is trying to save himself. Now nothing 58 00:04:54,515 --> 00:04:59,635 Speaker 1: moves justice and truth forward to the glimmering light on 59 00:04:59,675 --> 00:05:05,435 Speaker 1: the horizon, like some guy who's afraid that otherwise he's 60 00:05:05,475 --> 00:05:12,235 Speaker 1: going to wind up in the big house. We can't 61 00:05:12,315 --> 00:05:15,355 Speaker 1: let David Weiss save himself. Of course, we need a 62 00:05:15,515 --> 00:05:20,675 Speaker 1: special prosecutor from the Department of Justice in on this tomorrow, 63 00:05:20,715 --> 00:05:25,755 Speaker 1: and we need a Senate investigation. Senate Judiciary would probably 64 00:05:25,795 --> 00:05:28,555 Speaker 1: be right. So go somebody wake up Chairman Durbin and 65 00:05:28,595 --> 00:05:33,115 Speaker 1: tell him we need the Senate Judiciary Committee to subpoena 66 00:05:33,715 --> 00:05:37,635 Speaker 1: the Hunter Biden special counsel, David Weiss and this guy 67 00:05:37,755 --> 00:05:44,235 Speaker 1: smearing off and Comer and Jordan and Grassley and Hannity 68 00:05:44,995 --> 00:05:48,835 Speaker 1: and Trump, because this isn't just false info, This isn't 69 00:05:48,915 --> 00:05:51,155 Speaker 1: just one guy lying to the FBI. 70 00:05:51,315 --> 00:05:52,395 Speaker 2: This is the. 71 00:05:52,475 --> 00:05:58,675 Speaker 1: Russian Federal Assembly and Vladimir putin organizing the attempted impeachment 72 00:05:58,715 --> 00:06:01,475 Speaker 1: of the President of the United States in an election 73 00:06:01,635 --> 00:06:04,955 Speaker 1: year via the Republican Party. And we need a couple 74 00:06:05,035 --> 00:06:09,835 Speaker 1: of dozen of these Republicans to die in prison because 75 00:06:09,875 --> 00:06:16,715 Speaker 1: of this, because this is treason, not adjectival treason, not 76 00:06:17,155 --> 00:06:22,195 Speaker 1: figurative treason. Look up the statute and the point is, 77 00:06:22,555 --> 00:06:25,555 Speaker 1: and my hunch is based on the fact that clearly 78 00:06:26,555 --> 00:06:30,275 Speaker 1: I am not the first person to recognize all of this. 79 00:06:30,275 --> 00:06:35,075 Speaker 1: This idiot Smirnoff clearly realizes it. This sucker David Weiss 80 00:06:35,075 --> 00:06:39,715 Speaker 1: realizes it. And do not be fooled. Even some of 81 00:06:39,755 --> 00:06:44,755 Speaker 1: the Russian Republicans now realize it. Do not be fooled 82 00:06:44,755 --> 00:06:49,915 Speaker 1: by Jim Jordan yesterday shoving past reporters, still in shirt sleeves, 83 00:06:50,235 --> 00:06:54,235 Speaker 1: still searching for the only sport code he has ever owned, 84 00:06:54,475 --> 00:06:57,515 Speaker 1: that he lost five years ago and still can't find, 85 00:06:57,875 --> 00:07:00,595 Speaker 1: try to tough it out, and insisting the fact that 86 00:07:00,635 --> 00:07:04,355 Speaker 1: the man who was his entire case against Hunter Biden, 87 00:07:04,475 --> 00:07:07,195 Speaker 1: and thus his entire case against Joe Biden, that that 88 00:07:07,315 --> 00:07:10,035 Speaker 1: man was arrested for making it all up. And on 89 00:07:10,115 --> 00:07:14,195 Speaker 1: top of it, he just confessed to contact with Russian intelligence. 90 00:07:14,755 --> 00:07:18,195 Speaker 1: Jim Jordan, insisting, oh, if that changes nothing, don't be 91 00:07:18,435 --> 00:07:23,315 Speaker 1: fooled by Jim Jordan, the rape adjacent congressman from Ohio. 92 00:07:23,755 --> 00:07:28,235 Speaker 1: Jim Jordan realizes it, only he has no idea how 93 00:07:28,435 --> 00:07:34,515 Speaker 1: to fix it, but David Weiss does. David Weiss's career 94 00:07:34,795 --> 00:07:39,155 Speaker 1: now depends on fixing it. And the only way you 95 00:07:39,195 --> 00:07:42,635 Speaker 1: could fix this would be if you've flipped, or if 96 00:07:42,635 --> 00:07:47,315 Speaker 1: you've already flipped this guy Smirnoff. And that's why I 97 00:07:47,315 --> 00:07:51,195 Speaker 1: think what I think. That one admission tying all of 98 00:07:51,235 --> 00:07:53,835 Speaker 1: this to Russian intelligence says to me that mister Weiss 99 00:07:53,835 --> 00:07:58,235 Speaker 1: and mister Smirnoff have had a little come to Jesus 100 00:07:58,395 --> 00:08:02,835 Speaker 1: meeting and they have understood how badly they now need 101 00:08:02,955 --> 00:08:10,915 Speaker 1: each other. And mister Smirnoff is flipping. And there actually 102 00:08:10,995 --> 00:08:12,795 Speaker 1: turns out to be a whisper of evidence that I 103 00:08:12,875 --> 00:08:15,795 Speaker 1: might be right. The Huffington Post had a little story 104 00:08:15,875 --> 00:08:19,395 Speaker 1: yesterday about Jim Jordan sending an interview request letter to 105 00:08:19,475 --> 00:08:25,555 Speaker 1: a former State Department official named Amos Hochstein. Almos hostein 106 00:08:26,195 --> 00:08:29,355 Speaker 1: turns out to be a potential witness in the Jim 107 00:08:29,435 --> 00:08:35,355 Speaker 1: Jordan Whoreror House impeach stunt against Biden and in their 108 00:08:35,435 --> 00:08:38,235 Speaker 1: letter to mister Hoxtein, there was a paragraph that referred 109 00:08:38,275 --> 00:08:41,635 Speaker 1: to Alexander Smirnoff. The letter that was apparently sent to 110 00:08:41,675 --> 00:08:47,035 Speaker 1: mister Hostein yesterday, and then an hour later, what happens 111 00:08:47,035 --> 00:08:51,435 Speaker 1: to appear in mister Hostein's mailbox but a second interview 112 00:08:51,475 --> 00:08:55,035 Speaker 1: request letter from Jim Jordan. And guess what In this 113 00:08:55,275 --> 00:09:03,515 Speaker 1: second interview request letter, the paragraph about Alexander Smirnoff is gone. 114 00:09:03,715 --> 00:09:10,955 Speaker 1: Smirnoff Smirnoff who Hoffo got a statement from Jim Jordan's 115 00:09:10,955 --> 00:09:15,835 Speaker 1: office saying this was just a clerical error. A clerical error, 116 00:09:15,995 --> 00:09:21,955 Speaker 1: my ass, a clerical error that requires a special prosecutor. 117 00:09:22,915 --> 00:09:26,435 Speaker 1: Because there was one other new development yesterday in this 118 00:09:26,555 --> 00:09:30,635 Speaker 1: putrid mess, this invasion of our government by Russians, this 119 00:09:30,835 --> 00:09:35,435 Speaker 1: invasion of our country by Russians using proxies called Republicans. 120 00:09:36,315 --> 00:09:40,155 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden's lawyers said yesterday, we may think we know 121 00:09:40,235 --> 00:09:42,395 Speaker 1: what we are dealing with here, but in fact there 122 00:09:42,475 --> 00:09:46,275 Speaker 1: is much more. Remember the day that Hunter Biden went 123 00:09:46,315 --> 00:09:49,675 Speaker 1: into the courtroom to take the plea deal on taxes 124 00:09:49,715 --> 00:09:52,475 Speaker 1: and gun purchases and no trial, and then all of 125 00:09:52,515 --> 00:09:56,315 Speaker 1: a sudden, the judge blew it up. In their new 126 00:09:56,355 --> 00:10:00,315 Speaker 1: court filings, Hunter Biden's lawyers say it all blew up 127 00:10:00,395 --> 00:10:06,155 Speaker 1: because suddenly there were new allegations or more specific versions 128 00:10:06,155 --> 00:10:14,235 Speaker 1: of previous allegations against hunter Biden, allegations made by Alexander Smirnoff. 129 00:10:16,595 --> 00:10:21,755 Speaker 1: It was Alexander Smirnoff who convinced, presumably David Weiss, and 130 00:10:21,875 --> 00:10:25,555 Speaker 1: Smirnoff and David Weiss suit presumably convinced this Judge Mary 131 00:10:25,555 --> 00:10:28,995 Speaker 1: Allen Norika, and the plea deal blew up. And by 132 00:10:29,035 --> 00:10:30,955 Speaker 1: the way, you also do not want to be Judge 133 00:10:30,955 --> 00:10:34,555 Speaker 1: Mary Allen Norika right now. And you even more don't 134 00:10:34,595 --> 00:10:37,555 Speaker 1: want to be anybody who led Judge Norika into this 135 00:10:37,755 --> 00:10:40,915 Speaker 1: trap in which she blew up a plea deal with 136 00:10:41,075 --> 00:10:48,075 Speaker 1: allegations manufactured in the Kremlin. And if you think David 137 00:10:48,115 --> 00:10:51,355 Speaker 1: Weiss is motivated to get Smirnoff to flip and to 138 00:10:51,475 --> 00:10:55,515 Speaker 1: save all of their sorry asses, well this Judge Norika 139 00:10:55,715 --> 00:11:01,475 Speaker 1: is twice as motivated. And now just stretch the whole 140 00:11:01,515 --> 00:11:07,715 Speaker 1: picture out to its widest dimensions. This is Russia again, 141 00:11:08,715 --> 00:11:11,875 Speaker 1: and the Republicans again, and Trump again, and the right 142 00:11:11,875 --> 00:11:16,195 Speaker 1: wing media again, and the attempt to fix our elections 143 00:11:17,715 --> 00:11:21,275 Speaker 1: and the attempt to rip this nation apart from the inside, 144 00:11:21,875 --> 00:11:24,875 Speaker 1: and the attempt to run another coup against a duly 145 00:11:25,035 --> 00:11:28,155 Speaker 1: elected government of the United States of America, which if 146 00:11:28,235 --> 00:11:33,915 Speaker 1: it was done by a group of agents, spies, Russian nationals, 147 00:11:34,235 --> 00:11:38,475 Speaker 1: we would shoot and kill them. But it's not just 148 00:11:38,595 --> 00:11:42,555 Speaker 1: another coup attempt by Russia using not guns but Republicans. 149 00:11:43,195 --> 00:11:47,755 Speaker 1: It's also another part of the last coup attempt. And 150 00:11:47,835 --> 00:11:52,155 Speaker 1: if this one weasel liar Smirnoff can turn the Special Council, 151 00:11:52,195 --> 00:11:56,555 Speaker 1: the Republican investigating Hunter Biden into the Special Council suddenly 152 00:11:56,555 --> 00:12:00,835 Speaker 1: investigating Alexander Smirnoff and James Comer, what's the rest of 153 00:12:00,915 --> 00:12:04,995 Speaker 1: this story? What have we not found under the rock yet? 154 00:12:05,795 --> 00:12:09,315 Speaker 1: What else does Smirnoff link to? Does he link to 155 00:12:09,395 --> 00:12:12,155 Speaker 1: Trump's conversation with Zelensky and I just need you to 156 00:12:12,195 --> 00:12:14,915 Speaker 1: do me a favor though, Does he link to Russia's 157 00:12:14,915 --> 00:12:18,595 Speaker 1: efforts to infiltrate the Trump campaign or the Trump campaign's 158 00:12:18,635 --> 00:12:22,395 Speaker 1: effort to utilize Russian intel or both in twenty sixteen 159 00:12:23,235 --> 00:12:28,755 Speaker 1: or twenty twenty or both. What other cancers will track 160 00:12:28,835 --> 00:12:33,395 Speaker 1: directly back to Alexander Smirnoff's admission about officials associated with 161 00:12:33,475 --> 00:12:38,035 Speaker 1: Russian intelligence. Hell Josh Marshall from TPM has said this 162 00:12:38,075 --> 00:12:40,115 Speaker 1: for years, and he said it again yesterday, and God 163 00:12:40,155 --> 00:12:42,595 Speaker 1: damn it. Of course he is right. And I'll quote 164 00:12:42,635 --> 00:12:44,555 Speaker 1: him not just because he's right, but because he has 165 00:12:44,595 --> 00:12:51,595 Speaker 1: phrased it poetically quoting Josh. The fabled Hunter Biden laptop 166 00:12:51,795 --> 00:12:55,955 Speaker 1: was obviously the product of a Russian influence operation. The 167 00:12:56,035 --> 00:13:01,035 Speaker 1: story was absurd on its face. Somehow Hunter Biden decided 168 00:13:01,595 --> 00:13:05,995 Speaker 1: in a drugged up fugue that he needed to take 169 00:13:06,115 --> 00:13:11,555 Speaker 1: his laptop to a computer repair shop. He then forgot 170 00:13:11,595 --> 00:13:15,515 Speaker 1: about it. The legally blind owner of the repair shop 171 00:13:15,755 --> 00:13:18,915 Speaker 1: decided to crack it open and look at the files, 172 00:13:19,315 --> 00:13:23,675 Speaker 1: as one does, of course, and then somehow managed to 173 00:13:23,755 --> 00:13:33,595 Speaker 1: get the contents to Rudy Giuliani and Steve Bannon unquote. 174 00:13:34,635 --> 00:13:39,795 Speaker 1: So what else is under the Smirnoff rock Everything Rudy 175 00:13:39,795 --> 00:13:45,395 Speaker 1: Giuliani did, Attorney General Barr whitewashing Trump and the Muller 176 00:13:45,475 --> 00:13:48,075 Speaker 1: report that should have led to Trump's arrest for acting 177 00:13:48,115 --> 00:13:50,595 Speaker 1: on behalf of a foreign government and against the government 178 00:13:50,635 --> 00:13:55,235 Speaker 1: of the United States. How many officials associated with Russian 179 00:13:55,275 --> 00:13:58,955 Speaker 1: intelligence have been involved? Mister Smirnoff can you give us 180 00:13:58,995 --> 00:14:05,555 Speaker 1: their names and addresses? As soon as I read this, 181 00:14:05,795 --> 00:14:09,995 Speaker 1: Smirnoff admitted that officials associated with Russian intelligence were involved story. 182 00:14:10,035 --> 00:14:13,715 Speaker 1: Tuesday night, I posted that Comer had to resign from Congress, 183 00:14:14,275 --> 00:14:16,835 Speaker 1: and Chuck Grassley from the Senate and Hannity from TV. 184 00:14:17,195 --> 00:14:19,675 Speaker 1: I'm happy to say Congress and Eric Swalwell has picked 185 00:14:19,675 --> 00:14:21,995 Speaker 1: this up in a more formal setting being a member 186 00:14:22,035 --> 00:14:24,755 Speaker 1: of the House. And yesterday Swalwell posted that Comer must 187 00:14:24,835 --> 00:14:27,315 Speaker 1: resign because quote, for the last two years he has 188 00:14:27,435 --> 00:14:31,195 Speaker 1: done the work of Russia's intelligence services to falsely attack 189 00:14:31,235 --> 00:14:38,115 Speaker 1: President Biden. There must be accountability, correct, but accountability not 190 00:14:38,235 --> 00:14:39,915 Speaker 1: just in the form of the loss of a seat 191 00:14:39,955 --> 00:14:44,515 Speaker 1: in the House prosecution. James Comer needs to die in 192 00:14:44,555 --> 00:14:49,595 Speaker 1: prison and this needs a Senate investigation and as special prosecutor, 193 00:14:49,715 --> 00:14:52,795 Speaker 1: And once again, Jesus, please give me an excuse to 194 00:14:52,835 --> 00:14:59,275 Speaker 1: get Merrick Garland fired if he hesitates special Prosecutor in 195 00:14:59,395 --> 00:15:05,835 Speaker 1: the Comer Smirnoff scandal. Because j James Comer is in 196 00:15:05,875 --> 00:15:10,515 Speaker 1: effect a Russian agent, and yes, he needs to resign 197 00:15:10,595 --> 00:15:14,235 Speaker 1: from the House. And Jim Jordan is in effect a 198 00:15:14,315 --> 00:15:16,795 Speaker 1: Russian agent and he needs to resign from the House. 199 00:15:16,955 --> 00:15:20,155 Speaker 1: And Marjorie Taylor Green is in effect a Russian agent, 200 00:15:20,355 --> 00:15:23,195 Speaker 1: and she needs to resign from the House. And there's 201 00:15:23,235 --> 00:15:28,435 Speaker 1: a Texas Congressman named Pat Fallon who accused the Democrats 202 00:15:28,475 --> 00:15:31,555 Speaker 1: of denying that the Smirnoff FBI file even existed or 203 00:15:31,635 --> 00:15:34,275 Speaker 1: was legitimate, and the media of lying about it, and 204 00:15:34,315 --> 00:15:37,315 Speaker 1: he is in effect a Russian agent, and he needs 205 00:15:37,355 --> 00:15:41,355 Speaker 1: to resign from the House. And Chuck Grassley is in 206 00:15:41,395 --> 00:15:45,155 Speaker 1: effect a Russian agent, and he needs to resign from 207 00:15:45,235 --> 00:15:49,195 Speaker 1: the Senate. And Ted Cruz has spent a year spreading 208 00:15:49,235 --> 00:15:54,795 Speaker 1: these lies on his podcast, The Senator from podcast Land, 209 00:15:55,395 --> 00:15:58,395 Speaker 1: and he is in effect a Russian agent, and he 210 00:15:58,475 --> 00:16:01,755 Speaker 1: needs to resign from the Senate. And Sean Hannity is 211 00:16:01,755 --> 00:16:04,395 Speaker 1: in effect a Russian agent, and he needs to resign 212 00:16:04,435 --> 00:16:07,915 Speaker 1: from Fox. And Maria Bartiromo is in effect a Russian agent, 213 00:16:08,075 --> 00:16:11,195 Speaker 1: and she needs to resign from Fox. And David Weiss 214 00:16:11,715 --> 00:16:14,315 Speaker 1: is in effect a Russian agent, and he needs either 215 00:16:14,395 --> 00:16:20,435 Speaker 1: to resign from the DOJ or flip. And Donald Trump 216 00:16:22,395 --> 00:16:27,955 Speaker 1: is a Russian agent and he needs to withdraw from 217 00:16:27,995 --> 00:16:33,555 Speaker 1: the presidential race. If any of what Alexander Smirnoff has 218 00:16:33,555 --> 00:16:37,515 Speaker 1: told investigators is true any of it this time, then 219 00:16:37,555 --> 00:16:41,635 Speaker 1: Alexander Smirnov is admitting to being part of a cabal 220 00:16:41,915 --> 00:16:47,115 Speaker 1: of actual Russian agents who found willing victims or accomplices 221 00:16:47,595 --> 00:16:52,595 Speaker 1: or clients in the Comer Jordan Green, Grassly, Hannity Trump, 222 00:16:52,795 --> 00:16:57,395 Speaker 1: end of the GOP anti America cesspool. If any of 223 00:16:57,395 --> 00:17:01,595 Speaker 1: what Smirnoff has told investigators this time is true, these 224 00:17:01,755 --> 00:17:04,675 Speaker 1: people also need to be in jail, and I don't 225 00:17:04,475 --> 00:17:07,235 Speaker 1: particularly care how we put them there or what happens 226 00:17:07,275 --> 00:17:09,435 Speaker 1: to them when they get there, but first they need 227 00:17:09,435 --> 00:17:14,595 Speaker 1: to disappear from public view. And no, I am not 228 00:17:14,915 --> 00:17:20,235 Speaker 1: expecting these things to actually happen, at least not the resignations, 229 00:17:20,435 --> 00:17:24,475 Speaker 1: because to resign you must be capable either of shame 230 00:17:24,755 --> 00:17:30,115 Speaker 1: or fear. Comer is too stupid, Grassley is too superannuated. 231 00:17:30,795 --> 00:17:33,715 Speaker 1: Hannity and Bartiromo are too convinced that they are not 232 00:17:33,875 --> 00:17:37,755 Speaker 1: idiots but oracles and sober. And of course Trump is 233 00:17:37,795 --> 00:17:41,675 Speaker 1: a Russian agent, so why would he stop? This is 234 00:17:41,715 --> 00:17:45,475 Speaker 1: what he is here for. Anybody noticed by the way 235 00:17:45,515 --> 00:17:47,835 Speaker 1: that Laura Ingram asked him the other night about vice 236 00:17:47,875 --> 00:17:50,755 Speaker 1: presidential possibilities and named six of them he thought would 237 00:17:50,795 --> 00:17:54,435 Speaker 1: be good in one of them out of nowhere, someone 238 00:17:54,435 --> 00:17:57,195 Speaker 1: who had vanished from public life for months or for 239 00:17:57,275 --> 00:18:00,515 Speaker 1: a year or more, who was off all radar screens. 240 00:18:00,595 --> 00:18:03,315 Speaker 1: One of them suddenly back in the mix as Trump's 241 00:18:03,355 --> 00:18:10,395 Speaker 1: possible vice president is it is Tulsey effing Gabbert. Do 242 00:18:10,515 --> 00:18:15,035 Speaker 1: you get the feeling that his boss Putin maybe has 243 00:18:15,475 --> 00:18:23,835 Speaker 1: contacted Donald Trump recently, maybe made a couple of VP suggestions. 244 00:18:23,875 --> 00:18:28,195 Speaker 1: Because the reality is, and it is perfectly clear, the 245 00:18:28,275 --> 00:18:33,275 Speaker 1: Republican Party is not loyal to this country, and worse yet, 246 00:18:33,475 --> 00:18:37,595 Speaker 1: is not even worried anymore about being loyal to it. 247 00:18:37,595 --> 00:18:42,595 Speaker 1: It has been infiltrated, It has been subsumed by Russians 248 00:18:43,115 --> 00:18:48,235 Speaker 1: through compromat or payoffs, or simple Republican lust for power, 249 00:18:49,115 --> 00:18:53,475 Speaker 1: or a combination of all of them. And we are 250 00:18:53,595 --> 00:18:57,115 Speaker 1: living in the real life version of the John Lecarine 251 00:18:57,315 --> 00:19:02,075 Speaker 1: novel and TV series and movie Tinker Taylor's Soldier Spy, 252 00:19:03,195 --> 00:19:07,355 Speaker 1: where the guys who are actually getting manipulated by, and 253 00:19:07,475 --> 00:19:10,715 Speaker 1: hosed by and prostituted by the Russians. These guys are 254 00:19:10,755 --> 00:19:15,035 Speaker 1: so smug and vain and stupid and greedy that they 255 00:19:15,875 --> 00:19:21,195 Speaker 1: think they are manipulating the Russians, and worse, yet the 256 00:19:21,235 --> 00:19:24,475 Speaker 1: people who are supposed to be the watchdogs for moronic 257 00:19:24,635 --> 00:19:29,715 Speaker 1: disloyalty like this watchdogs, like the news media, they are 258 00:19:29,875 --> 00:19:33,835 Speaker 1: asleep at the switch. The New York Times put the 259 00:19:33,875 --> 00:19:46,395 Speaker 1: Smirnoff Russian intelligence confession yesterday on page sixteen. But again 260 00:19:46,435 --> 00:19:50,435 Speaker 1: the saving grace. There is nothing like a terrified man 261 00:19:50,715 --> 00:19:55,195 Speaker 1: who knows the truth and sees the prison cell door 262 00:19:56,235 --> 00:20:00,835 Speaker 1: this sleezebag. Smirnoff is in deep trouble in at least 263 00:20:01,035 --> 00:20:05,395 Speaker 1: two different countries, and the one in which he is 264 00:20:05,475 --> 00:20:07,395 Speaker 1: less likely to be pushed out a window by the 265 00:20:07,435 --> 00:20:11,755 Speaker 1: government is this one. So I think he's flipped. And 266 00:20:11,835 --> 00:20:15,035 Speaker 1: this other sleeves back, David Weiss, he is in even 267 00:20:15,155 --> 00:20:18,595 Speaker 1: deeper trouble in this country, and for all intents and purposes, 268 00:20:18,635 --> 00:20:24,235 Speaker 1: I think it's clear he has already flipped. The Republicans 269 00:20:24,875 --> 00:20:29,475 Speaker 1: have been trying to impeach the President of the United 270 00:20:29,475 --> 00:20:34,395 Speaker 1: States in an election year, with the help of Vladimir Putin. 271 00:20:36,395 --> 00:20:43,755 Speaker 1: May they all burn in hell, But thank God, right 272 00:20:43,835 --> 00:20:47,435 Speaker 1: now there are two terrified men who can put all 273 00:20:47,475 --> 00:20:50,955 Speaker 1: of them at least out of their treasonous business. And 274 00:20:51,035 --> 00:20:54,235 Speaker 1: if we're lucky, he can also put them Jordan and 275 00:20:54,355 --> 00:20:58,515 Speaker 1: Hannity and Comer and Trump and the others in jail. 276 00:20:59,115 --> 00:21:06,875 Speaker 1: Senate Judiciary Investigation today special counsel to day. Our nation's 277 00:21:07,235 --> 00:21:11,555 Speaker 1: life depends upon it. 278 00:21:16,115 --> 00:21:16,515 Speaker 2: Okay. 279 00:21:17,515 --> 00:21:21,875 Speaker 1: Also of interest here went over to iHeart headquarters here yesterday. 280 00:21:22,275 --> 00:21:26,155 Speaker 1: We have selected the space.

We have to come up 284 00:21:39,795 --> 00:21:42,115 Speaker 1: with a better name for this. It takes too long. 285 00:21:44,755 --> 00:21:49,595 Speaker 1: President Biden stops talking, I start talking and and okay, 286 00:21:50,115 --> 00:21:56,235 Speaker 1: taking your questions, some of your questions. So watch it Thursday, 287 00:21:56,275 --> 00:22:03,715 Speaker 1: March seventh. Be there, Aloha back here. Also of interest, 288 00:22:03,755 --> 00:22:06,675 Speaker 1: what is the point of recognizing that the Republicans are 289 00:22:06,755 --> 00:22:10,715 Speaker 1: further serving Vladimir Putin by betraying Ukraine? If a Biden 290 00:22:10,875 --> 00:22:17,835 Speaker 1: administration spokesperson blames not Republican treachery but quote Congressional inaction, 291 00:22:19,675 --> 00:22:24,435 Speaker 1: God damn it, It's not Congress. It's the Republicans that's next. 292 00:22:24,475 --> 00:22:51,515 Speaker 1: This is countdown. This is countdown with Keith Olberman. Stelle 293 00:22:51,515 --> 00:22:59,955 Speaker 1: Aheadamus on Countdown. This has been a long day, a 294 00:23:00,035 --> 00:23:05,315 Speaker 1: long week, a long year. We're being invaded by rush 295 00:23:05,355 --> 00:23:09,675 Speaker 1: by proxy again, so I need a break from that. 296 00:23:10,555 --> 00:23:13,235 Speaker 1: Maybe you do too, And to me, nothing in the 297 00:23:13,235 --> 00:23:18,715 Speaker 1: world says break like the following two words, soccer breakdown. 298 00:23:20,355 --> 00:23:22,355 Speaker 1: If you know what I'm talking about, I hope you 299 00:23:22,435 --> 00:23:26,115 Speaker 1: are already smiling in anticipation. If not, you are about 300 00:23:26,155 --> 00:23:30,835 Speaker 1: to join the soccer breakdown society. In things I promised 301 00:23:30,915 --> 00:23:36,195 Speaker 1: not to tell, welcome first. Yes, still more idiots talk 302 00:23:36,235 --> 00:23:38,955 Speaker 1: about the daily roundup of the miss Grants, Bonds, and 303 00:23:39,035 --> 00:23:44,355 Speaker 1: Dunning Kruger effects specimens who constitute today's worst person. 304 00:23:45,435 --> 00:23:46,035 Speaker 2: In the world. 305 00:23:49,035 --> 00:23:52,275 Speaker 1: I believe I may be overperforming this episode of Countdown, 306 00:23:52,635 --> 00:23:58,035 Speaker 1: and not in a good way. Sorry, Lebron's worst Eric Huvede, 307 00:23:58,635 --> 00:24:02,515 Speaker 1: who has been preordained as the Republican Party establishment candidate 308 00:24:02,795 --> 00:24:06,235 Speaker 1: to try to take Tammy Baldwin's Senate seat in Wisconsin. 309 00:24:07,515 --> 00:24:11,115 Speaker 1: Mister Hubdy lives in California. He owns a bank. He 310 00:24:11,155 --> 00:24:14,035 Speaker 1: has a seven million dollar mansion in Laguna Beach. He 311 00:24:14,075 --> 00:24:16,995 Speaker 1: actually said that he understands the crisis of child trafficking 312 00:24:17,035 --> 00:24:20,835 Speaker 1: in Central America because he owns three homes in Central 313 00:24:20,835 --> 00:24:23,875 Speaker 1: America and he transferred his two million dollar home in 314 00:24:23,995 --> 00:24:26,915 Speaker 1: d c to his brother last August and he has 315 00:24:26,955 --> 00:24:29,715 Speaker 1: his first commercial out and in it he says he's 316 00:24:29,795 --> 00:24:32,755 Speaker 1: running for the Senate and things are terrible and this 317 00:24:32,835 --> 00:24:35,355 Speaker 1: and that, and he never says in what state he's running. 318 00:24:36,635 --> 00:24:38,795 Speaker 1: I'm guessing that's because when he filmed it, they had 319 00:24:38,795 --> 00:24:42,035 Speaker 1: not yet told him which state. That he has a 320 00:24:42,115 --> 00:24:50,275 Speaker 1: Wisconsin accent and a mustache. The runner up worser John Stuart, Yeah, 321 00:24:50,315 --> 00:24:53,035 Speaker 1: he ragged on me Monday Night, so what I ragged 322 00:24:53,075 --> 00:24:55,835 Speaker 1: on him the previous Monday Night. We've been ragging on 323 00:24:55,915 --> 00:24:59,155 Speaker 1: each other Monday Night since two thousand and three. The 324 00:24:59,235 --> 00:25:02,435 Speaker 1: problem is John Stewart returned to The Daily Show by 325 00:25:02,475 --> 00:25:06,315 Speaker 1: both sidesing Trump and Biden. In the position he is 326 00:25:06,435 --> 00:25:10,355 Speaker 1: in and with the people who watch him, John has 327 00:25:10,435 --> 00:25:13,675 Speaker 1: to be smarter than that, and I'm not sure he can. 328 00:25:14,715 --> 00:25:18,235 Speaker 1: When my old former friend Craig Kilbourne left The Daily 329 00:25:18,275 --> 00:25:21,555 Speaker 1: Show in nineteen ninety eight, one of his producers there 330 00:25:21,595 --> 00:25:24,395 Speaker 1: and he was the original host, explained they were really 331 00:25:24,515 --> 00:25:27,395 Speaker 1: lost because Craig Kilbourne had exactly what they wanted as 332 00:25:27,435 --> 00:25:30,195 Speaker 1: the host, the ability to read the jokes well and 333 00:25:30,275 --> 00:25:34,555 Speaker 1: look good without ever really understanding what the jokes meant 334 00:25:34,955 --> 00:25:38,395 Speaker 1: or what the implications of the jokes might be, but 335 00:25:38,595 --> 00:25:41,675 Speaker 1: she said she was hopeful. They thought John Stewart might 336 00:25:41,675 --> 00:25:44,515 Speaker 1: take over, and his ego was so huge that all 337 00:25:44,555 --> 00:25:48,715 Speaker 1: he ever thought about was the laughs. That's a dangerous 338 00:25:48,755 --> 00:25:52,395 Speaker 1: thing right now. Ha ha. Trump is funny, ha ha. 339 00:25:52,755 --> 00:25:57,475 Speaker 1: Biden is funny. But most importantly and unforgivably, John Stewart 340 00:25:57,795 --> 00:26:02,035 Speaker 1: trashed Mary Trump, and of all of us out here, 341 00:26:02,115 --> 00:26:06,755 Speaker 1: Mary Trump gets it more profoundly and personally and any 342 00:26:06,795 --> 00:26:09,675 Speaker 1: of the rest of us. I guess, as the saying goes, 343 00:26:09,755 --> 00:26:15,475 Speaker 1: democracy dies in discussion, John said, the audience laughed because 344 00:26:15,515 --> 00:26:20,355 Speaker 1: all John ever thinks about is the laughs. John Trump 345 00:26:20,395 --> 00:26:23,115 Speaker 1: doesn't want to have a discussion with you. Trump supporters 346 00:26:23,155 --> 00:26:25,755 Speaker 1: don't want to have a discussion with you. Trump supporters 347 00:26:25,755 --> 00:26:28,715 Speaker 1: don't want you to do anything but get in the cage. 348 00:26:29,355 --> 00:26:32,035 Speaker 1: If you continue to both sides this, we can talk 349 00:26:32,075 --> 00:26:35,035 Speaker 1: about it, you and me in the new media detention 350 00:26:35,235 --> 00:26:41,075 Speaker 1: center in North Platte, Nebraska. But the winner the worst. 351 00:26:41,955 --> 00:26:46,675 Speaker 1: Adrian Watson, spokesperson for the National Security Council, Yes, Joe 352 00:26:46,675 --> 00:26:52,595 Speaker 1: Biden's National Security Council. As Russia besieged an eastern Ukrainian city, 353 00:26:52,995 --> 00:26:57,835 Speaker 1: Avdifka the Ukrainian military had to withdraw didn't have enough bullets, basically, 354 00:26:58,315 --> 00:27:01,635 Speaker 1: and Ms Watson, the spokesperson for the National Security Council, 355 00:27:01,715 --> 00:27:05,035 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's National Security Council, said quote, this is the 356 00:27:05,075 --> 00:27:12,955 Speaker 1: cost of congressional inaction. Congressional in action, Miss Watson, No, 357 00:27:12,995 --> 00:27:14,355 Speaker 1: not congressional in. 358 00:27:14,315 --> 00:27:16,915 Speaker 2: A Republican in action. 359 00:27:18,715 --> 00:27:21,955 Speaker 1: It is critical that the House approve additional Ukraine funding 360 00:27:21,955 --> 00:27:25,675 Speaker 1: without delay. Watson, at it the House, Miss Watson, that 361 00:27:25,755 --> 00:27:30,115 Speaker 1: the House approve additional Ukraine funding. No, the Republicans in 362 00:27:30,195 --> 00:27:35,515 Speaker 1: the House betraying Ukraine and our interests in Ukraine. Miss Watson, 363 00:27:36,395 --> 00:27:40,395 Speaker 1: use your words. People in the United States who have 364 00:27:40,435 --> 00:27:44,515 Speaker 1: been told by fascists and propagandists and people who work 365 00:27:44,555 --> 00:27:48,195 Speaker 1: for Putin like Jim Jordan, They've been told Ukraine is 366 00:27:48,315 --> 00:27:52,275 Speaker 1: just a scam, that Ukraine means nothing to us, that 367 00:27:52,355 --> 00:27:55,715 Speaker 1: it is not an alternative to us fighting the Russians 368 00:27:56,075 --> 00:28:01,555 Speaker 1: in Poland or London. Those people told that may or 369 00:28:01,595 --> 00:28:05,795 Speaker 1: may not ever understand how tragically stupidly wrong they have become, 370 00:28:06,395 --> 00:28:09,675 Speaker 1: but they certainly will never understand it. If you blame 371 00:28:10,115 --> 00:28:14,035 Speaker 1: the House when the issue of Ukraine funding is entirely 372 00:28:14,075 --> 00:28:19,195 Speaker 1: the responsibility of the Republicans and this weasel speaker Mike Johnson, 373 00:28:19,475 --> 00:28:27,475 Speaker 1: and this Russian asset Donald Trump, Biden, NSC spokesperson Adrian Watson. 374 00:28:27,755 --> 00:28:30,875 Speaker 1: Get your head out of your ass or get out 375 00:28:30,875 --> 00:28:34,115 Speaker 1: of this government. We have a war to win in 376 00:28:34,315 --> 00:28:38,235 Speaker 1: Ukraine and a war to win in the United States. 377 00:28:38,595 --> 00:28:44,075 Speaker 1: You are paid to be truthful, not to whitewash Republican treachery. 378 00:28:44,875 --> 00:29:02,395 Speaker 1: You are today's worst person in the world. See the 379 00:29:02,435 --> 00:29:04,635 Speaker 1: number one story on the Countdown and my favorite time 380 00:29:04,675 --> 00:29:07,835 Speaker 1: to me and things I promised not to tell. You 381 00:29:07,955 --> 00:29:14,115 Speaker 1: may enjoy this one enough to keep a copy. Soccer Breakdown. 382 00:29:15,635 --> 00:29:18,835 Speaker 1: Gary Miller was one of the backbones of Sports Center. 383 00:29:18,875 --> 00:29:22,035 Speaker 1: I had worked with him at CNN. He was strong, confident, 384 00:29:22,195 --> 00:29:27,435 Speaker 1: very loud, forceful, He hated mascots, and he had no filter. 385 00:29:28,195 --> 00:29:30,715 Speaker 1: He and Dan Patrick were great friends in Atlanta, and 386 00:29:30,795 --> 00:29:33,315 Speaker 1: then Gary and Dan left for ESPN within months of 387 00:29:33,355 --> 00:29:36,675 Speaker 1: each other nineteen eighty nine nineteen ninety. This has been 388 00:29:36,715 --> 00:29:38,435 Speaker 1: said of me, and so I say it of Gary 389 00:29:38,475 --> 00:29:42,955 Speaker 1: with affection. He suffered no fools gladly, and though his 390 00:29:43,035 --> 00:29:45,955 Speaker 1: elbows were always up, he made sure that ninety nine 391 00:29:45,995 --> 00:29:48,035 Speaker 1: percent of the time when they bumped into somebody that 392 00:29:48,155 --> 00:29:51,995 Speaker 1: somebody had well deserved it. As near as I can 393 00:29:52,035 --> 00:29:55,875 Speaker 1: piece together, Gary was doing the eleven PM Sports Center 394 00:29:55,915 --> 00:29:59,635 Speaker 1: on Friday night, June twenty fourth, nineteen ninety four. Typically, 395 00:29:59,755 --> 00:30:03,155 Speaker 1: Dan and I did the eleven Sunday through Thursday. The 396 00:30:03,195 --> 00:30:06,275 Speaker 1: story of soccer's nineteen nine four World Cup. At least 397 00:30:06,315 --> 00:30:09,275 Speaker 1: in the first week, was a preponderance of player ejections 398 00:30:09,435 --> 00:30:12,875 Speaker 1: red cards handed them by the referee. In those days, 399 00:30:12,875 --> 00:30:15,235 Speaker 1: the eleven PM Sports Center included a feature two or 400 00:30:15,275 --> 00:30:17,795 Speaker 1: three minutes long on a story that had drummed up 401 00:30:17,795 --> 00:30:20,515 Speaker 1: a lot of interest during the first show planning meeting 402 00:30:20,595 --> 00:30:24,235 Speaker 1: around three point thirty PM. It was a feature called Breakdown. 403 00:30:24,755 --> 00:30:27,955 Speaker 1: It provided long form analysis in today's when we didn't 404 00:30:27,955 --> 00:30:30,795 Speaker 1: have a lot of that could be a coach getting fired, 405 00:30:30,835 --> 00:30:34,155 Speaker 1: could be the relative credentials of Baseball Hall of Fame candidates. 406 00:30:34,395 --> 00:30:37,675 Speaker 1: Could be one fantastic play in a game. Once we 407 00:30:37,715 --> 00:30:42,635 Speaker 1: did a deadpan, serious breakdown about injuries to mascots. A 408 00:30:42,755 --> 00:30:45,875 Speaker 1: producer or the anchor himself would write the script. They 409 00:30:45,915 --> 00:30:49,195 Speaker 1: would pre record the narration and then the producer would 410 00:30:49,315 --> 00:30:51,675 Speaker 1: edit it. This is pre digital. It was done tape 411 00:30:51,675 --> 00:30:55,035 Speaker 1: to tape. It could take hours to edit it, and 412 00:30:55,075 --> 00:30:58,995 Speaker 1: the key was to track it to record that narration, 413 00:30:59,395 --> 00:31:01,995 Speaker 1: which was done in a tiny wood paneled room wreaking 414 00:31:02,035 --> 00:31:07,235 Speaker 1: of mildew that looked and smelled exactly like every suburban 415 00:31:07,475 --> 00:31:11,595 Speaker 1: basement wreck room in America circa October nineteen sixty five. 416 00:31:13,075 --> 00:31:15,915 Speaker 1: That's where Gary Miller found himself on the night of Friday, 417 00:31:15,995 --> 00:31:18,515 Speaker 1: June twenty fourth, nineteen ninety four, reading a script about 418 00:31:18,555 --> 00:31:21,355 Speaker 1: soccer players from around the world, none of whose names 419 00:31:22,035 --> 00:31:26,235 Speaker 1: he had ever seen before, let alone tried to pronounce. 420 00:31:26,915 --> 00:31:33,115 Speaker 1: It was the Soccer Breakdown in all senses of the word. 421 00:31:34,955 --> 00:31:38,675 Speaker 1: The raw tape, the original version of his tracking session 422 00:31:38,715 --> 00:31:42,115 Speaker 1: for the script for Soccer Breakdown, is easily the most 423 00:31:42,395 --> 00:31:46,955 Speaker 1: beloved bootleg in ESPN's history. In fact, it is so 424 00:31:47,115 --> 00:31:50,715 Speaker 1: popular that there are several different cuts of this bootleg. 425 00:31:50,915 --> 00:31:53,315 Speaker 1: People have sat down with the original tape, which runs 426 00:31:53,355 --> 00:31:57,035 Speaker 1: nearly twenty minutes, and edited it down to only the 427 00:31:57,075 --> 00:32:01,315 Speaker 1: best or worst parts. Now I'm not going to say 428 00:32:01,395 --> 00:32:03,795 Speaker 1: I have a copy of the original. I'm simply going 429 00:32:03,875 --> 00:32:06,035 Speaker 1: to note the dam Patrick ran it on his radio 430 00:32:06,075 --> 00:32:09,675 Speaker 1: show in twenty seventeen and posted the whole segment to YouTube. 431 00:32:09,715 --> 00:32:14,435 Speaker 1: So yeah, that's where I got my copy of it. Uh, 432 00:32:14,435 --> 00:32:18,995 Speaker 1: that's my story and I'm sticking to it. I'm going 433 00:32:19,035 --> 00:32:22,875 Speaker 1: to annotate for you what happened, So let me present 434 00:32:22,955 --> 00:32:26,035 Speaker 1: this to you in three segments. It did not start 435 00:32:26,075 --> 00:32:29,715 Speaker 1: well for Gary and it got worse from there, although 436 00:32:30,355 --> 00:32:33,515 Speaker 1: mister Miller gave it its eternal title and life by going 437 00:32:33,555 --> 00:32:37,075 Speaker 1: sibilant on the s. For the word soccer, I'll note 438 00:32:37,155 --> 00:32:43,835 Speaker 1: only one thing, the acronym of International Soccer's outfit FIFA Gary. 439 00:32:43,835 --> 00:32:45,635 Speaker 1: It's pronounced FIFA. 440 00:32:46,475 --> 00:32:51,755 Speaker 3: Soccer breakdown in three two one, Fifho Soccer's governing Barty 441 00:32:52,155 --> 00:32:55,355 Speaker 3: three two one, Piphos Soccer's. 442 00:32:54,915 --> 00:32:57,635 Speaker 2: Three two one. 443 00:32:58,915 --> 00:33:01,435 Speaker 3: The red card has become the calling card for this 444 00:33:01,515 --> 00:33:02,235 Speaker 3: year's tournament. 445 00:33:02,595 --> 00:33:04,915 Speaker 2: Seven ejections for the three. 446 00:33:06,155 --> 00:33:11,515 Speaker 3: Two one witness Romania's ian Bladu against the Swiss is 447 00:33:11,795 --> 00:33:15,595 Speaker 3: or through christ Ah. 448 00:33:15,635 --> 00:33:18,635 Speaker 1: But that was the easy part. Now in the script 449 00:33:18,715 --> 00:33:21,275 Speaker 1: came the names of the World Cup stars who had 450 00:33:21,275 --> 00:33:23,795 Speaker 1: been given red card ejections in the first week of 451 00:33:23,835 --> 00:33:27,475 Speaker 1: the tournament. One was the seventeen year old star of 452 00:33:27,555 --> 00:33:31,915 Speaker 1: the Cameroon team, Rigobert's Song, often referred to by his 453 00:33:32,035 --> 00:33:36,395 Speaker 1: full name, Rigobert's Song maahanog Or as it was said 454 00:33:36,435 --> 00:33:40,835 Speaker 1: in the script Rigerbird Bahanog song. 455 00:33:41,115 --> 00:33:44,395 Speaker 2: Three two one Cameroons Rigoberg. 456 00:33:46,835 --> 00:33:54,715 Speaker 3: Vanumnog three two what Cameroons Rigelberg Byangung Zang Za Da 457 00:33:55,115 --> 00:34:02,435 Speaker 3: Da Bayangyang's song three two one Cameroon's Wriggelberg Banyang Zong. 458 00:34:09,395 --> 00:34:14,275 Speaker 1: Bayung Young song three two one three two one. By 459 00:34:14,315 --> 00:34:16,755 Speaker 1: the way, Rigobert's song is now the manager of the 460 00:34:16,835 --> 00:34:19,355 Speaker 1: Cameroon team. He's gone from being the youngest player in 461 00:34:19,395 --> 00:34:21,515 Speaker 1: the World Cup history to get a red card to 462 00:34:21,715 --> 00:34:25,275 Speaker 1: running his nation's team. I'll interject here that at the 463 00:34:25,315 --> 00:34:28,395 Speaker 1: start of this final major clip, Gary Miller says to 464 00:34:28,595 --> 00:34:32,115 Speaker 1: somebody who has currently entered that tracking room that smelled 465 00:34:32,155 --> 00:34:36,155 Speaker 1: of mildew, get out of here. Dan Patrick said that 466 00:34:36,395 --> 00:34:38,795 Speaker 1: was him. I think he's mistaken. It doesn't matter much, 467 00:34:38,835 --> 00:34:40,675 Speaker 1: but there was no reason for Dan to have been 468 00:34:40,715 --> 00:34:43,195 Speaker 1: there on a Friday night, especially if we were not 469 00:34:43,315 --> 00:34:46,595 Speaker 1: doing the show. And also there has never been a 470 00:34:46,715 --> 00:34:51,795 Speaker 1: microphone ever. But Dan has not spoken into anyway. We 471 00:34:51,915 --> 00:34:56,355 Speaker 1: have already met Rigobert Bhanog's song. Now meet my guy, 472 00:34:57,555 --> 00:35:02,995 Speaker 1: the Italian goalie John Luca Poaliucca two. Get out of 473 00:35:02,995 --> 00:35:06,595 Speaker 1: here two is guilty through it two. 474 00:35:07,155 --> 00:35:08,235 Speaker 2: How long is this tape? 475 00:35:08,635 --> 00:35:16,355 Speaker 3: Three two one on what Cameroon's Rigoberg Banyang song preventing 476 00:35:16,395 --> 00:35:21,115 Speaker 3: a breakaway from Brazil's babetto a bah God Almighty, I 477 00:35:21,235 --> 00:35:26,435 Speaker 3: hate socker. Cameroon's Rigoberg Banyanyong song. I'm gonna try that 478 00:35:26,555 --> 00:35:32,635 Speaker 3: one last lead time two one Cameroon's Rigglebirg banjung yong song, 479 00:35:34,235 --> 00:35:39,115 Speaker 3: I hate this chalcout Bolivia's Luis Cristaldo for both on 480 00:35:39,435 --> 00:35:42,555 Speaker 3: three to one. But the most notable red card of 481 00:35:42,595 --> 00:35:46,555 Speaker 3: the tournament came an Italian goaltender Jean Luca Paul Yuca, 482 00:35:46,955 --> 00:35:48,835 Speaker 3: Paul Yoka, Paul Yuka. 483 00:35:49,155 --> 00:35:51,635 Speaker 2: From the Mother three two one. 484 00:35:52,235 --> 00:35:54,515 Speaker 3: But the flurry of red cards thus far has Todd 485 00:35:54,595 --> 00:35:58,155 Speaker 3: coaches and players alike to control their play if they'd 486 00:35:58,235 --> 00:36:04,195 Speaker 3: like to control their fate in this tournament. Holy, that 487 00:36:04,355 --> 00:36:04,595 Speaker 3: is all. 488 00:36:05,675 --> 00:36:09,715 Speaker 1: The pronunciation of Rigovert's song's name is one thing. I 489 00:36:09,995 --> 00:36:12,875 Speaker 1: was delighted by how furious Gary got at Gien Luca 490 00:36:12,955 --> 00:36:15,635 Speaker 1: Paluca of the Italian team and the expletive he used 491 00:36:15,675 --> 00:36:18,955 Speaker 1: to describe him, which you may have just heard in 492 00:36:19,075 --> 00:36:21,795 Speaker 1: the days that followed. In fact, the Italian goalie's name 493 00:36:21,875 --> 00:36:26,355 Speaker 1: became shorthand for me for that expletive in question. So 494 00:36:26,555 --> 00:36:29,555 Speaker 1: for the next three years on Sports Center, and after 495 00:36:29,635 --> 00:36:32,675 Speaker 1: that on Fox Sports News, and then on my ESPN 496 00:36:32,755 --> 00:36:36,195 Speaker 1: two show, and on Football Night in America, and then 497 00:36:36,235 --> 00:36:38,635 Speaker 1: when I returned to Sports Center in twenty eighteen, if 498 00:36:38,675 --> 00:36:41,875 Speaker 1: you heard me say John Luca Paluca while we were 499 00:36:41,955 --> 00:36:44,435 Speaker 1: showing a player making an error or arguing with an 500 00:36:44,515 --> 00:36:48,035 Speaker 1: umpire or official, I was actually implying that the player 501 00:36:48,115 --> 00:36:54,835 Speaker 1: had just said John Luca Paluca. There's another punchline to 502 00:36:54,875 --> 00:36:57,555 Speaker 1: this story. Of course, the idea to do this soccer 503 00:36:57,675 --> 00:37:01,195 Speaker 1: breakdown that so bedeviled Gary Miller, the story of red 504 00:37:01,275 --> 00:37:03,275 Speaker 1: cards in the first week of the nineteen ninety four 505 00:37:03,355 --> 00:37:08,155 Speaker 1: World Cup. The idea to do that came from Gary Miller, 506 00:37:09,555 --> 00:37:14,875 Speaker 1: never volunteer. I've never been convinced that Gary was really 507 00:37:14,955 --> 00:37:17,715 Speaker 1: happy about his immortality, certainly not in the way my 508 00:37:18,075 --> 00:37:22,395 Speaker 1: ESPN pal Steve Levy not so secretly glorious in the day. 509 00:37:22,675 --> 00:37:24,955 Speaker 1: He once tried to say that a New England Patriots 510 00:37:24,995 --> 00:37:29,075 Speaker 1: player had a bulging disc, but didn't quite get disc right. 511 00:37:30,075 --> 00:37:32,195 Speaker 1: But Gary Miller has been a good sport about this 512 00:37:32,635 --> 00:37:34,755 Speaker 1: through the end of his ESPN career in two thousand 513 00:37:34,755 --> 00:37:37,195 Speaker 1: and four and afterwards in his days at Channel two 514 00:37:37,235 --> 00:37:39,395 Speaker 1: and Channel nine in Los Angeles and most recently at 515 00:37:39,435 --> 00:37:42,955 Speaker 1: Channel two in Cincinnati. It isn't hard to understand why 516 00:37:43,075 --> 00:37:46,595 Speaker 1: this tape is so famous and the pleasure derived from 517 00:37:46,635 --> 00:37:49,915 Speaker 1: it so enduring. As John Cleese once said about the 518 00:37:49,995 --> 00:37:52,835 Speaker 1: real life hotel manager on whom he based his character 519 00:37:52,955 --> 00:37:57,555 Speaker 1: from Faulty Towers, he had this wonderful bad temper. But 520 00:37:57,675 --> 00:38:01,795 Speaker 1: there are two more things. One, this occurred exactly a 521 00:38:01,915 --> 00:38:05,555 Speaker 1: week to the day after the ojsim and car chase, 522 00:38:05,635 --> 00:38:09,435 Speaker 1: and people forget now just how disturbing that was in 523 00:38:09,635 --> 00:38:13,155 Speaker 1: an America, especially sports America like at ESPN, that with 524 00:38:13,315 --> 00:38:16,915 Speaker 1: the exception of a few of us who knew, nobody 525 00:38:16,995 --> 00:38:20,235 Speaker 1: knew how rotten a human being OJ Simpson was. So 526 00:38:20,915 --> 00:38:24,195 Speaker 1: even a week later, we all needed this laugh, and 527 00:38:24,395 --> 00:38:28,915 Speaker 1: Gary gave it to us and even larger. The essence 528 00:38:29,035 --> 00:38:31,715 Speaker 1: of soccer in every country in which it is played 529 00:38:32,075 --> 00:38:35,715 Speaker 1: is that it always allows and encourages and even demands 530 00:38:35,795 --> 00:38:40,515 Speaker 1: that its fans complain about it. And so while we 531 00:38:40,755 --> 00:38:46,475 Speaker 1: cherish soccer breakdown and three two one and Rigobert Mahananng's 532 00:38:46,515 --> 00:38:51,435 Speaker 1: song and bibbto and John Luca Paluka to me, it 533 00:38:51,555 --> 00:38:54,275 Speaker 1: is really about five words that anybody who hates the 534 00:38:54,355 --> 00:38:57,195 Speaker 1: game will say. But there are also five words that 535 00:38:57,315 --> 00:39:00,995 Speaker 1: any fan of the sport will certainly use at some 536 00:39:01,275 --> 00:39:06,555 Speaker 1: point in his life. Possibly it's some point today, And 537 00:39:06,715 --> 00:39:09,755 Speaker 1: they are the five words with which I will leave 538 00:39:09,795 --> 00:39:10,955 Speaker 1: you for now. 539 00:39:11,715 --> 00:39:15,075 Speaker 2: A bah, God almighty, I hate soccer. 540 00:39:15,795 --> 00:39:18,915 Speaker 1: Since I first told you this story, I have, as 541 00:39:18,995 --> 00:39:23,755 Speaker 1: I mentioned, rediscovered an artifact that I thought was gone forever. 542 00:39:24,595 --> 00:39:29,795 Speaker 1: Right after the Soccer Breakdown saga unfolded, an ESPN colleague 543 00:39:29,875 --> 00:39:33,195 Speaker 1: made me a copy of the original raw tape of 544 00:39:33,355 --> 00:39:36,915 Speaker 1: Gary and we put it on a cassette and I 545 00:39:36,995 --> 00:39:40,475 Speaker 1: couldn't find it. There were things on it that were 546 00:39:40,595 --> 00:39:46,355 Speaker 1: somehow lost from all subsequent copies of Soccer Breakdown. So 547 00:39:46,515 --> 00:39:49,235 Speaker 1: this is not as high depth, but I think it's 548 00:39:49,315 --> 00:39:51,315 Speaker 1: even more high comedy. 549 00:39:51,915 --> 00:39:56,915 Speaker 3: Soccer Breakdown in three two one after a nineteen ninety 550 00:39:56,955 --> 00:40:00,355 Speaker 3: World Cup mark by physical play in low scores, fifhas 551 00:40:00,435 --> 00:40:04,435 Speaker 3: Soccer's three to one after a nineteen ninety World Cup 552 00:40:04,915 --> 00:40:10,835 Speaker 3: by three two one after a nineteen ninety World Cup 553 00:40:10,915 --> 00:40:14,595 Speaker 3: marked by physical play and low scores, peiphas Soccer's governing 554 00:40:14,635 --> 00:40:16,915 Speaker 3: body send out a decree for the nineteen ninety four 555 00:40:17,035 --> 00:40:20,475 Speaker 3: Cup to be better police the result, the red card 556 00:40:20,515 --> 00:40:23,675 Speaker 3: has become the calling card for this year's tournament.

The goal more goals and 567 00:40:54,595 --> 00:40:59,515 Speaker 3: a more palatable sell to the American public.
