1
00:00:04,795 --> 00:00:22,075
Speaker 1: Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. Okay,

2
00:00:22,235 --> 00:00:26,955
Speaker 1: Clearly the compromise here on the debate microphones is Trump

3
00:00:27,035 --> 00:00:31,475
Speaker 1: gets to keep the mics muted, but his mic has

4
00:00:31,515 --> 00:00:37,675
Speaker 1: to be muted for the entire debate. Problem solved. We'll

5
00:00:37,675 --> 00:00:40,395
Speaker 1: get back to the debate and why Trump's transparent attempt

6
00:00:40,395 --> 00:00:43,355
Speaker 1: to back out of it again seems to have surprised

7
00:00:43,355 --> 00:00:47,795
Speaker 1: the political media industrial complex again. But first, that rare

8
00:00:47,915 --> 00:00:52,875
Speaker 1: day when the polling really is startling, the full Reichstag

9
00:00:52,995 --> 00:00:57,875
Speaker 1: fire level propaganda site Red State may have commissioned certainly

10
00:00:57,915 --> 00:01:02,395
Speaker 1: got first access to a pole showing Kamala Harris leading

11
00:01:02,435 --> 00:01:07,315
Speaker 1: Trump fifty two to forty five among likely voters seven

12
00:01:07,355 --> 00:01:12,195
Speaker 1: points fifty to forty six among registered voters. That is

13
00:01:12,355 --> 00:01:15,635
Speaker 1: outside the margin of error according to the head of

14
00:01:15,715 --> 00:01:19,035
Speaker 1: the firm, the firm which is so right wing that

15
00:01:19,115 --> 00:01:22,875
Speaker 1: the polster's pinned tweet is about how in two thousand

16
00:01:22,955 --> 00:01:26,795
Speaker 1: and eleven he predicted that Trump would become president someday.

17
00:01:27,595 --> 00:01:30,315
Speaker 1: The polling was completed Saturday, and the piece at Red

18
00:01:30,355 --> 00:01:32,755
Speaker 1: State is so filled with caveats that it's just this

19
00:01:32,875 --> 00:01:37,035
Speaker 1: side of the Polster self flagellating and yet Harris, with

20
00:01:37,115 --> 00:01:40,035
Speaker 1: everything going in her favor, is still not pulling away

21
00:01:40,035 --> 00:01:43,715
Speaker 1: from Trump, writes Doug Kaplan, who try as he might,

22
00:01:43,795 --> 00:01:47,195
Speaker 1: cannot escape his own numbers. She is on an incredible

23
00:01:47,235 --> 00:01:51,635
Speaker 1: winning streak right now. They also did favorability scores. They

24
00:01:51,635 --> 00:01:54,515
Speaker 1: claim Harris is at fifty to fifty and Trump is

25
00:01:54,555 --> 00:02:00,355
Speaker 1: only eleven points underwater. The biggest factor, writes Kaplan, strategies

26
00:02:00,435 --> 00:02:05,475
Speaker 1: helping Harris is how she has neutralized the immigration issue.

27
00:02:05,835 --> 00:02:09,915
Speaker 1: In both polls, immigration was the fourth most important issue,

28
00:02:09,995 --> 00:02:13,595
Speaker 1: or rather only ten percent told us it was their

29
00:02:13,715 --> 00:02:17,675
Speaker 1: number one. I think you have the gist of this.

30
00:02:17,835 --> 00:02:22,075
Speaker 1: Now he keeps telling the fascists what the numbers actually say,

31
00:02:22,675 --> 00:02:26,635
Speaker 1: then he offers them excuses for those numbers. There is

32
00:02:26,715 --> 00:02:29,915
Speaker 1: even a vaguely worded detail about what impact the RFK

33
00:02:30,155 --> 00:02:34,235
Speaker 1: Junior endorsement will have on Trump's numbers going forward, which

34
00:02:34,235 --> 00:02:36,915
Speaker 1: is kind of weird because their poll was in the

35
00:02:36,955 --> 00:02:41,595
Speaker 1: field Friday, when Kennedy accepted Trump's bribe, and Saturday, the

36
00:02:41,715 --> 00:02:45,235
Speaker 1: day after he endorsed him. Kaplan claims his poll shows

37
00:02:45,275 --> 00:02:47,595
Speaker 1: twenty percent of likely voters were more likely to vote

38
00:02:47,595 --> 00:02:50,995
Speaker 1: for Trump based on a Kennedy endorsement, which could mean anything,

39
00:02:51,475 --> 00:02:56,115
Speaker 1: because a he already endorsed him, and b. Kaplan is

40
00:02:56,115 --> 00:02:59,075
Speaker 1: not saying twenty percent of undecided voters are saying this,

41
00:02:59,315 --> 00:03:02,955
Speaker 1: just twenty percent of all voters, which would include people

42
00:03:02,995 --> 00:03:05,515
Speaker 1: who were already likely to vote for Trump, in which

43
00:03:05,555 --> 00:03:09,315
Speaker 1: conceivably could consist only of people who were already likely

44
00:03:09,355 --> 00:03:13,515
Speaker 1: to vote for Trump. Also on polling, the weekly update

45
00:03:13,555 --> 00:03:17,035
Speaker 1: from Morning Consult has shown no convention bump for Harris,

46
00:03:17,675 --> 00:03:21,355
Speaker 1: or maybe just a continuation of all the previous bumps.

47
00:03:21,715 --> 00:03:24,835
Speaker 1: It is unchanged same as last week Harris forty eight,

48
00:03:24,915 --> 00:03:29,235
Speaker 1: Trump forty four, but remarkably there are signs of a

49
00:03:29,435 --> 00:03:33,715
Speaker 1: Tim Walls bump. His favorability in Morning Consult was at

50
00:03:33,715 --> 00:03:37,635
Speaker 1: thirty nine percent and plus three before the convention. It

51
00:03:37,715 --> 00:03:41,155
Speaker 1: is at forty two percent and now plus six after it.

52
00:03:42,435 --> 00:03:45,595
Speaker 1: The poles continue to be so uniformly bad for Trump,

53
00:03:45,635 --> 00:03:48,475
Speaker 1: even the cooked ones are bad for Trump that today

54
00:03:48,635 --> 00:03:52,195
Speaker 1: the Trump campaign begins rolling out TV ads for him

55
00:03:52,195 --> 00:03:56,635
Speaker 1: on Fox, MSNBC, CNN, and a few others on cable.

56
00:03:56,835 --> 00:04:03,435
Speaker 1: In West Palm Beach, Florida. It is hard to tell

57
00:04:03,475 --> 00:04:05,955
Speaker 1: if the campaign is seeing more of those hints that

58
00:04:06,035 --> 00:04:09,435
Speaker 1: we saw last week that Harris really is kind of

59
00:04:09,555 --> 00:04:13,915
Speaker 1: moving towards being competitive in Florida, Or if this ad

60
00:04:13,915 --> 00:04:16,995
Speaker 1: buy is just to calm their candidate down at Mari

61
00:04:17,115 --> 00:04:20,315
Speaker 1: Lago as he continues to act as if he's been

62
00:04:20,355 --> 00:04:24,155
Speaker 1: suffering a mini stroke once an average of every eight

63
00:04:24,195 --> 00:04:27,355
Speaker 1: hours and twenty seven minutes, or so, hey, look on

64
00:04:27,355 --> 00:04:31,195
Speaker 1: the bright side. Maybe it's both. While we are here

65
00:04:31,275 --> 00:04:34,475
Speaker 1: in polling land Echelon, the only Polster is ever to

66
00:04:34,635 --> 00:04:38,875
Speaker 1: complain when I complimented their work has Trump ahead nationally

67
00:04:38,955 --> 00:04:43,515
Speaker 1: forty nine forty eight tip a less red meat Republican

68
00:04:43,555 --> 00:04:46,275
Speaker 1: polster has Harris ahead in Michigan by two, but it

69
00:04:46,315 --> 00:04:49,075
Speaker 1: has Alyssa Slotkin ahead in Michigan by ten in the

70
00:04:49,115 --> 00:04:53,755
Speaker 1: Senate race. The Republican dark money group Read Eagle commissioned

71
00:04:53,755 --> 00:04:56,595
Speaker 1: to poll in which claims Trump is ahead in Pennsylvania

72
00:04:56,715 --> 00:04:59,955
Speaker 1: by one. The Washington Post average of swing state poles

73
00:04:59,995 --> 00:05:04,715
Speaker 1: has her ahead in Pennsylvania by two. Also, that's a

74
00:05:04,755 --> 00:05:07,755
Speaker 1: head in Michigan by one in the Washington Post average,

75
00:05:07,955 --> 00:05:11,835
Speaker 1: ahead in Wisconsin by three, trailing by one in Arizona

76
00:05:11,875 --> 00:05:14,795
Speaker 1: and North Carolina, trailing by two in Nevada, trailing by

77
00:05:14,835 --> 00:05:18,875
Speaker 1: three in Georgia. In each of those states. The Post

78
00:05:18,955 --> 00:05:21,835
Speaker 1: average of polls shows in the five weeks since the

79
00:05:21,875 --> 00:05:24,795
Speaker 1: president stepped out of the race, a swing to Harris

80
00:05:25,195 --> 00:05:31,395
Speaker 1: of between two point eight points and three point nine points. Again,

81
00:05:31,595 --> 00:05:34,875
Speaker 1: these are from an average of the polls in the

82
00:05:34,875 --> 00:05:39,595
Speaker 1: swing states, not just a Washington Post poll. The other

83
00:05:39,675 --> 00:05:42,595
Speaker 1: news here. The Wisconsin Supreme Court says Jill Stein can

84
00:05:42,635 --> 00:05:45,035
Speaker 1: say on the ballot there, so the Kremlin is happy,

85
00:05:45,395 --> 00:05:49,515
Speaker 1: and Tulsey Gabbard has endorsed Trump, so justifiably panicky trumpists

86
00:05:49,715 --> 00:05:52,315
Speaker 1: can now pretend Gabbard as a Democrat or a Liberal.

87
00:05:53,395 --> 00:05:55,875
Speaker 1: What I must mention I am not seeing yet and

88
00:05:55,995 --> 00:05:59,635
Speaker 1: really want to see, is actual concrete results about whether

89
00:05:59,715 --> 00:06:03,675
Speaker 1: or not the Kennedy endorsement is playing at all in

90
00:06:03,715 --> 00:06:06,715
Speaker 1: the polling. I mean that four percent or so has

91
00:06:06,755 --> 00:06:09,875
Speaker 1: to go somewhere, and the state and national polling to

92
00:06:09,915 --> 00:06:13,515
Speaker 1: this point has been utterly contradictory. In many swing states

93
00:06:13,875 --> 00:06:17,955
Speaker 1: Kennedy had been hurting Trump, but nationally it seemed as

94
00:06:17,995 --> 00:06:20,395
Speaker 1: if he was taking away somewhere around two and a

95
00:06:20,475 --> 00:06:23,595
Speaker 1: half points from each of them. There were other states

96
00:06:23,635 --> 00:06:27,595
Speaker 1: in which it appeared he was hurting Harris. I really

97
00:06:27,635 --> 00:06:31,395
Speaker 1: want to see poles in which Kennedy's supporters are asked

98
00:06:31,435 --> 00:06:35,035
Speaker 1: about the dead Central Park cub and the dead dog,

99
00:06:35,395 --> 00:06:39,675
Speaker 1: and now the dead whale, and the story his daughter

100
00:06:39,795 --> 00:06:42,635
Speaker 1: tells of him driving to cut off the head of

101
00:06:42,635 --> 00:06:46,635
Speaker 1: that dead whale where a chain saw and strapping it

102
00:06:46,675 --> 00:06:48,955
Speaker 1: to the roof of their car from a five hour

103
00:06:49,115 --> 00:06:53,955
Speaker 1: drive home, and how quoting her whale juice would pour

104
00:06:54,115 --> 00:06:57,275
Speaker 1: into the windows of the car. We all had plastic

105
00:06:57,355 --> 00:07:00,755
Speaker 1: bags over our heads with mouth holes cut out, but

106
00:07:00,915 --> 00:07:03,755
Speaker 1: that was just normal day to day stuff for us.

107
00:07:05,235 --> 00:07:08,235
Speaker 1: By the way, those quotes were in naturally Town and

108
00:07:08,395 --> 00:07:12,315
Speaker 1: Country magazine, which is leading this month's issue with how

109
00:07:12,355 --> 00:07:16,915
Speaker 1: to make your hands look younger. Don't pick up a

110
00:07:16,995 --> 00:07:21,395
Speaker 1: goddamned whalehead. That's one way anyway. I guess until we

111
00:07:21,435 --> 00:07:26,195
Speaker 1: have some Kennedy specific polling, he will simply remain Trump's

112
00:07:26,835 --> 00:07:54,395
Speaker 1: cross to bear, Trump's cross to bear this thing on. Hello.

113
00:07:55,595 --> 00:07:58,195
Speaker 1: Trump is back trying to back out of the presidential debate,

114
00:07:58,235 --> 00:07:59,955
Speaker 1: and he's not even doing it well, and the American

115
00:07:59,995 --> 00:08:05,075
Speaker 1: political media is, as always astonished. As soon as Harris

116
00:08:05,075 --> 00:08:10,035
Speaker 1: replaced Biden, Trump claimed all debate agreements were off. Now

117
00:08:10,115 --> 00:08:13,555
Speaker 1: he is enraged because she wants the mics always open,

118
00:08:13,675 --> 00:08:16,875
Speaker 1: not muted, not because he objects to the mics not

119
00:08:16,995 --> 00:08:20,435
Speaker 1: being muted, but just because she wants it. Let me

120
00:08:20,435 --> 00:08:24,115
Speaker 1: summarize this. Trump is trying to back out of the debate.

121
00:08:25,035 --> 00:08:27,155
Speaker 1: He is hoping to be able to back out and

122
00:08:27,355 --> 00:08:30,315
Speaker 1: blame her. He did this exact same thing with Biden too,

123
00:08:30,755 --> 00:08:34,275
Speaker 1: starting late last year. He is using as an excuse

124
00:08:34,395 --> 00:08:39,435
Speaker 1: now an objection to something he agrees with. What is

125
00:08:39,475 --> 00:08:46,795
Speaker 1: Harris doing? Harris bluntly is effing with him, and rather successfully.

126
00:08:46,955 --> 00:08:48,835
Speaker 1: The Harris team has already proven to be the most

127
00:08:48,875 --> 00:08:52,755
Speaker 1: successful anti Trump entity in this fertile field of effing

128
00:08:52,795 --> 00:08:56,875
Speaker 1: with him and the media. They are making noises like

129
00:08:56,995 --> 00:09:00,155
Speaker 1: sea lions over this. Like all this started yesterday morning.

130
00:09:00,355 --> 00:09:03,195
Speaker 1: In fact, it started at ten pm Eastern Sunday night.

131
00:09:03,395 --> 00:09:05,515
Speaker 1: But of course ninety nine out of one hundred political

132
00:09:05,515 --> 00:09:08,835
Speaker 1: reporters take the weekends off and the other one only

133
00:09:08,875 --> 00:09:11,155
Speaker 1: sticks around until the Sunday shows are over, and then

134
00:09:11,195 --> 00:09:13,515
Speaker 1: it's hot and cold running mimosas for the rest of

135
00:09:13,555 --> 00:09:19,395
Speaker 1: the day. Trump posted, I watched ABC fake news this morning,

136
00:09:19,595 --> 00:09:22,195
Speaker 1: and you know it's really fake news because he capitalized

137
00:09:22,195 --> 00:09:27,755
Speaker 1: it both lightweight reporter Jonathan Carl's ridiculous and biased interview

138
00:09:27,755 --> 00:09:31,115
Speaker 1: of Tom Cotton, who was fantastic, and their so called

139
00:09:31,195 --> 00:09:34,635
Speaker 1: panel of Trump haters, And I ask why would I

140
00:09:34,675 --> 00:09:37,955
Speaker 1: do the debate against Kamala Harris on that network? Will

141
00:09:37,955 --> 00:09:42,115
Speaker 1: panelist Donald Brazil give the questions to the Marxist candidate

142
00:09:42,195 --> 00:09:45,435
Speaker 1: like she did for Crooked Hillary Clinton? Will Kamala's best

143
00:09:45,475 --> 00:09:49,475
Speaker 1: friend who heads up ABC do? Likewise? Where is little

144
00:09:49,555 --> 00:09:54,075
Speaker 1: George Slopadopoulos hanging out now? Will he be involved? They've

145
00:09:54,115 --> 00:09:56,755
Speaker 1: got a lot of questions to answer. Why did Harris

146
00:09:56,795 --> 00:10:03,075
Speaker 1: turn down Fox, NBCCBS and even CNN stay tuned? Many

147
00:10:03,635 --> 00:10:08,235
Speaker 1: strokes so Monday morning. The Harris camp then says it

148
00:10:08,275 --> 00:10:11,035
Speaker 1: agreed to fulfill the second half of the Biden Trump

149
00:10:11,075 --> 00:10:14,595
Speaker 1: debate schedule that Trump agreed to, but when they did that,

150
00:10:15,155 --> 00:10:19,435
Speaker 1: they insisted that the debate rules were still up for debate.

151
00:10:20,235 --> 00:10:24,155
Speaker 1: And then hours later Harris communications guru Brian Fallon disclaimer

152
00:10:24,195 --> 00:10:26,115
Speaker 1: we used to be in that fantasy football league together

153
00:10:26,395 --> 00:10:29,475
Speaker 1: said quote. We have told ABC and the other network

154
00:10:29,515 --> 00:10:32,555
Speaker 1: seeking to host a possible October debate that we believe

155
00:10:32,675 --> 00:10:36,475
Speaker 1: both candidates Mike's should be live throughout the full broadcast.

156
00:10:36,955 --> 00:10:40,435
Speaker 1: We suspect Trump's team has not even told their boss

157
00:10:40,475 --> 00:10:43,835
Speaker 1: about this dispute because it would be too embarrassing to admit.

158
00:10:44,155 --> 00:10:46,835
Speaker 1: They don't think he can handle himself against Vice President

159
00:10:46,915 --> 00:10:51,995
Speaker 1: Harris without the benefit of a mute button. As I

160
00:10:52,035 --> 00:10:56,995
Speaker 1: find myself asking so often here so recently, is it

161
00:10:57,235 --> 00:11:04,635
Speaker 1: loll or is it lowell? Wait, there's more lolling. Trump

162
00:11:04,915 --> 00:11:07,995
Speaker 1: on his way yesterday to using Arlington National Cemetery as

163
00:11:08,035 --> 00:11:10,835
Speaker 1: a political prop where he stood in front of soldier's

164
00:11:10,915 --> 00:11:15,595
Speaker 1: graves and smiled and gave a thumbs up. Trump he

165
00:11:15,635 --> 00:11:16,835
Speaker 1: didn't actually care about this.

166
00:11:17,195 --> 00:11:19,395
Speaker 2: Would you want the microphones mute it in the debate

167
00:11:19,395 --> 00:11:22,435
Speaker 2: whenever you're out speaking? We agree to the same rules.

168
00:11:22,475 --> 00:11:24,275
Speaker 2: I don't know. It doesn't matter to me. I'd rather

169
00:11:24,315 --> 00:11:27,355
Speaker 2: have it probably on. But the agreement was that it

170
00:11:27,355 --> 00:11:30,315
Speaker 2: would be the same as it was last time. In

171
00:11:30,355 --> 00:11:33,995
Speaker 2: that case it was muted. I didn't like it the

172
00:11:34,075 --> 00:11:36,915
Speaker 2: last time, but it worked out fine, and asked Biden

173
00:11:36,955 --> 00:11:39,875
Speaker 2: how it worked out. It was fine, and I think

174
00:11:39,915 --> 00:11:42,515
Speaker 2: it should be the same. We agreed to the same rules,

175
00:11:43,115 --> 00:11:47,275
Speaker 2: same rules, the same specifications, and I think that's probably

176
00:11:47,275 --> 00:11:49,675
Speaker 2: what it should be. But they're trying to change it.

177
00:11:49,915 --> 00:11:51,555
Speaker 2: The truth is they're trying to get out of it

178
00:11:51,675 --> 00:11:54,515
Speaker 2: because she doesn't want a debate. She's not a good debater,

179
00:11:54,915 --> 00:11:57,595
Speaker 2: she's not a smart person. She doesn't want a debate.

180
00:11:57,955 --> 00:12:00,755
Speaker 1: Trump will swing back to the ABC stuff, or why

181
00:12:00,795 --> 00:12:03,675
Speaker 1: won't she go on Fox stuff? Presently depend upon it

182
00:12:03,755 --> 00:12:06,955
Speaker 1: he wants out. If he does debate, we will be

183
00:12:06,995 --> 00:12:10,795
Speaker 1: doing another live podcast after it. I'm not making any

184
00:12:10,875 --> 00:12:13,795
Speaker 1: firm plans for that night, but as I said at

185
00:12:13,795 --> 00:12:16,195
Speaker 1: the start, he wants a muted mike. He gets a

186
00:12:16,275 --> 00:12:28,595
Speaker 1: muted mike for the entire debate. I'm not sure how

187
00:12:28,635 --> 00:12:32,035
Speaker 1: this is physically possible at this point, but as evidenced

188
00:12:32,035 --> 00:12:35,795
Speaker 1: by the mishandling of the microphone story, the American political

189
00:12:35,835 --> 00:12:41,955
Speaker 1: media is still getting worse. Gary Tuckman has been with

190
00:12:42,115 --> 00:12:45,875
Speaker 1: CNN so long we almost overlapped in the New York bureau.

191
00:12:46,115 --> 00:12:48,115
Speaker 1: I left in nineteen eighty four. He got there in

192
00:12:48,155 --> 00:12:51,075
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety. It is hard to believe they will let

193
00:12:51,155 --> 00:12:54,995
Speaker 1: him continue, at least continue in a prominent role after

194
00:12:55,075 --> 00:12:58,875
Speaker 1: this scandal over the quote undecided unquote focus group that

195
00:12:58,955 --> 00:13:02,435
Speaker 1: he did. If you have not heard this, Gary Tuckman

196
00:13:02,475 --> 00:13:06,075
Speaker 1: conducted a panel after Harris's acceptance speech at the Convention.

197
00:13:06,555 --> 00:13:11,475
Speaker 1: The panel was in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Of eight avowedly undecided voters.

198
00:13:11,995 --> 00:13:15,915
Speaker 1: Having heard her speak, six of the eight immediately said

199
00:13:15,915 --> 00:13:18,795
Speaker 1: they were now ready to vote for her, the seventh

200
00:13:18,995 --> 00:13:22,075
Speaker 1: was still undecided. The eighth said he was also now

201
00:13:22,115 --> 00:13:26,595
Speaker 1: ready to vote for Trump. He's a man named Bryant Rosado,

202
00:13:26,995 --> 00:13:29,835
Speaker 1: and after some pressing, he has claimed that not only

203
00:13:29,835 --> 00:13:32,275
Speaker 1: did he go into the focus group intending to vote

204
00:13:32,275 --> 00:13:34,915
Speaker 1: for Trump, but that he told CNN and in fact

205
00:13:35,035 --> 00:13:38,355
Speaker 1: told Gary Tuckman personally, that he was intending to vote

206
00:13:38,355 --> 00:13:41,435
Speaker 1: for Trump. Tuckman, he says, approached him at a friend

207
00:13:41,435 --> 00:13:43,795
Speaker 1: at a restaurant and asked who they were voting for,

208
00:13:43,835 --> 00:13:46,795
Speaker 1: and they told him, quoting Rosato. Crazy part is that

209
00:13:46,875 --> 00:13:50,115
Speaker 1: CNN invited me knowing I was a Trump supporter. Then

210
00:13:50,155 --> 00:13:53,915
Speaker 1: they said it'll be voters that are undecided, not Democrats.

211
00:13:54,275 --> 00:13:56,235
Speaker 1: They told me to keep an open mind and to

212
00:13:56,275 --> 00:13:59,435
Speaker 1: give Kamala a chance after the speech, since she's the

213
00:13:59,475 --> 00:14:06,875
Speaker 1: new candidate after Biden. So I did hashtag Trump CNN,

214
00:14:06,915 --> 00:14:10,555
Speaker 1: which in the last two years has probably spent wasted

215
00:14:11,195 --> 00:14:14,675
Speaker 1: seventy five percent of the remaining credibility its originals and

216
00:14:14,795 --> 00:14:18,195
Speaker 1: near originals like me built for it four decades ago,

217
00:14:18,435 --> 00:14:21,395
Speaker 1: certainly did not help with a statement to the Midas Network,

218
00:14:21,395 --> 00:14:25,995
Speaker 1: which pursued this story doggedly and thoroughly, doggedly and thoroughly,

219
00:14:25,995 --> 00:14:28,315
Speaker 1: in other words, exactly the way CNN did not pursue

220
00:14:28,355 --> 00:14:33,955
Speaker 1: this story. Quoting the anonymous CNN spokesperson, mistakes included when

221
00:14:33,995 --> 00:14:37,075
Speaker 1: building the panel of voters who haven't decided on a candidate,

222
00:14:37,395 --> 00:14:40,555
Speaker 1: all participants made it clear that they indeed hadn't made

223
00:14:40,595 --> 00:14:45,075
Speaker 1: a final determination. This particular individual, who said he had

224
00:14:45,115 --> 00:14:48,515
Speaker 1: supported Donald Trump in the past, expressed to us that

225
00:14:48,595 --> 00:14:51,595
Speaker 1: after President Biden dropped out of the race, his mind

226
00:14:51,715 --> 00:14:56,155
Speaker 1: became open and he hadn't make a final decision on

227
00:14:56,315 --> 00:15:02,555
Speaker 1: a candidate hadn't make In this context, it is kind

228
00:15:02,555 --> 00:15:06,835
Speaker 1: of hard to believe that CNN actually fired Chris Solisa

229
00:15:07,435 --> 00:15:12,835
Speaker 1: rather than making him, you know, president of CNN worldwide.

230
00:15:13,795 --> 00:15:17,915
Speaker 1: At six am yesterday, Axios reminded the political world, and

231
00:15:17,955 --> 00:15:20,915
Speaker 1: I'll give them this, they are good at reminders that

232
00:15:21,075 --> 00:15:23,995
Speaker 1: Vice President Harris's campaign had committed to at least one

233
00:15:24,395 --> 00:15:28,515
Speaker 1: sit down interview before the end of this month. End

234
00:15:28,595 --> 00:15:32,115
Speaker 1: of this month is Saturday, This is August. Next month

235
00:15:32,155 --> 00:15:35,355
Speaker 1: will be September. The next major holiday is Labor Day,

236
00:15:36,315 --> 00:15:39,235
Speaker 1: quoting Axios Vice President Harris's strategy for the seventy one

237
00:15:39,275 --> 00:15:42,035
Speaker 1: day spread has built partly around try to outwork former

238
00:15:42,075 --> 00:15:46,035
Speaker 1: President Trump. Axios is Sophia Chi writes whyat matters. Harris

239
00:15:46,075 --> 00:15:48,435
Speaker 1: is packing her campaign schedule this week, starting with a

240
00:15:48,435 --> 00:15:51,555
Speaker 1: bus tour in southern Georgia. She'll also sit for her

241
00:15:51,595 --> 00:15:56,835
Speaker 1: first interview as a presidential candidate. I'll just say that again.

242
00:15:56,875 --> 00:15:59,995
Speaker 1: She'll also sit for her first interview as a presidential candidate.

243
00:16:00,475 --> 00:16:02,835
Speaker 1: They committed to it, they just haven't said where yet.

244
00:16:03,795 --> 00:16:09,595
Speaker 1: Six hours after that, your boy, Solissa umbraged, quoting It's

245
00:16:09,635 --> 00:16:12,235
Speaker 1: been thirty six days since Joe Biden dropped out of

246
00:16:12,235 --> 00:16:14,955
Speaker 1: the race and Kamla Harris emerged as the nominee. She's

247
00:16:14,955 --> 00:16:19,635
Speaker 1: conducted zero press conferences and zero sit down media interviews.

248
00:16:20,075 --> 00:16:22,715
Speaker 1: She has taken less than fifteen total questions from the

249
00:16:22,755 --> 00:16:24,235
Speaker 1: media in any format.

250
00:16:24,835 --> 00:16:25,835
Speaker 3: Unacceptable.

251
00:16:27,315 --> 00:16:30,675
Speaker 1: Twelve oh nine pm Eastern ten. I don't know which

252
00:16:30,755 --> 00:16:33,475
Speaker 1: part I like best, the fact that he has either

253
00:16:33,635 --> 00:16:38,595
Speaker 1: forgotten or ignored Harris's interview commitment, or the fact that

254
00:16:38,635 --> 00:16:41,755
Speaker 1: he has either forgotten or ignored that when Harris has

255
00:16:41,795 --> 00:16:44,955
Speaker 1: stopped for those questions. Reporters have not rushed her with

256
00:16:45,235 --> 00:16:48,715
Speaker 1: policy nuance, but instead with demands for reaction to the

257
00:16:48,755 --> 00:16:51,835
Speaker 1: noises that have followed what has seemed like Trump's latest

258
00:16:51,835 --> 00:16:58,475
Speaker 1: mini stroke. Still none of this, not the CNN uncommitted

259
00:16:58,475 --> 00:17:01,915
Speaker 1: except he's voting for Trump, nor the latest slissit's self

260
00:17:01,955 --> 00:17:05,075
Speaker 1: beclowning can top with. The New York Time has now

261
00:17:05,115 --> 00:17:08,755
Speaker 1: done another of its priceless guest op eds, which are

262
00:17:08,755 --> 00:17:12,235
Speaker 1: designed to put the satirist New York Times pitch bot

263
00:17:12,315 --> 00:17:15,715
Speaker 1: account out of business and then put the Times itself

264
00:17:15,755 --> 00:17:18,995
Speaker 1: out of business. The headline of this guest op ed,

265
00:17:19,795 --> 00:17:25,915
Speaker 1: Trump can win on character the content the author thanks

266
00:17:26,035 --> 00:17:30,555
Speaker 1: character means Trump settling on a nickname for Harris the rest.

267
00:17:31,355 --> 00:17:36,155
Speaker 1: I'll spare you its fascist bullshit. I would really reverse

268
00:17:36,155 --> 00:17:38,915
Speaker 1: my opinion of The Times if just one time it

269
00:17:38,995 --> 00:17:42,475
Speaker 1: printed one of these, and instead of insulting everybody's intelligence,

270
00:17:42,755 --> 00:17:46,715
Speaker 1: including the fascists, the Time simply repeated the words fascist

271
00:17:46,835 --> 00:17:51,795
Speaker 1: bullshit five hundred times each. I'd frame that. Then again,

272
00:17:51,835 --> 00:17:53,515
Speaker 1: I'm the guy who, when he was the editor in

273
00:17:53,555 --> 00:17:56,275
Speaker 1: chief of his high school newspaper, Will Bunch was my

274
00:17:56,395 --> 00:18:00,955
Speaker 1: ace underclassman news reporter. We had an editorial literally pulled

275
00:18:00,995 --> 00:18:04,075
Speaker 1: off the page by the headmaster of the school. Came

276
00:18:04,155 --> 00:18:08,035
Speaker 1: up to the newsroom and literally pulled the thing off.

277
00:18:08,195 --> 00:18:11,035
Speaker 1: The addition that was just going to the printers. Very dramatic,

278
00:18:11,435 --> 00:18:16,075
Speaker 1: very impactful. But he left our offices without telling me

279
00:18:16,155 --> 00:18:19,195
Speaker 1: what to put in its place, nor did he bother

280
00:18:19,315 --> 00:18:22,595
Speaker 1: to check before we actually shipped it off to the printers.

281
00:18:22,755 --> 00:18:25,555
Speaker 1: So I simply printed out the word censored in big

282
00:18:25,595 --> 00:18:28,075
Speaker 1: black letters, and we ran it where the editorial was

283
00:18:28,115 --> 00:18:32,195
Speaker 1: supposed to be. But that's me. Anyway, I've left out

284
00:18:32,235 --> 00:18:36,155
Speaker 1: the one joy of this remarkable times self own, and

285
00:18:36,715 --> 00:18:39,835
Speaker 1: I might add op ed author self own, the Trump

286
00:18:39,915 --> 00:18:45,395
Speaker 1: can win on character. Op ed was written by Rich Lowry,

287
00:18:45,755 --> 00:18:48,955
Speaker 1: editor in chief of National Review. And if you've been

288
00:18:48,995 --> 00:18:51,795
Speaker 1: with me a while, you already know what's coming next.

289
00:18:52,475 --> 00:18:57,675
Speaker 1: Rich Lowry, October third, two thousand and eight, four eight pm,

290
00:18:58,115 --> 00:19:03,075
Speaker 1: National Review, the day after the vice presidential debate between

291
00:19:03,235 --> 00:19:08,475
Speaker 1: Senator Joe Biden and Sarah Palin who is still alive?

292
00:19:09,995 --> 00:19:17,915
Speaker 1: Headline projecting through the Screen by Rich Lowry. The very

293
00:19:17,955 --> 00:19:21,515
Speaker 1: wise TV executive once told me that the key to

294
00:19:21,595 --> 00:19:25,595
Speaker 1: TV is projecting through the screen. It's one of the

295
00:19:25,675 --> 00:19:30,555
Speaker 1: keys to the success of Sayah bill O'Reilly, who comes

296
00:19:30,555 --> 00:19:34,755
Speaker 1: through the screen and grabs you by the throat. I

297
00:19:34,795 --> 00:19:39,395
Speaker 1: read that in the legal papers, didn't I. Palin too,

298
00:19:39,515 --> 00:19:43,515
Speaker 1: projects through the screen like crazy. I'm sure I'm not

299
00:19:43,635 --> 00:19:46,675
Speaker 1: the only male in America who when Palin dropped her

300
00:19:46,715 --> 00:19:51,515
Speaker 1: first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch

301
00:19:51,555 --> 00:19:55,475
Speaker 1: and said, hey, I think she just winked at me.

302
00:19:56,315 --> 00:20:01,835
Speaker 1: And her smile by the end, when she clearly knew

303
00:20:01,915 --> 00:20:05,475
Speaker 1: she was doing well, it was so sparkling it was

304
00:20:05,555 --> 00:20:12,235
Speaker 1: almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and

305
00:20:12,355 --> 00:20:16,075
Speaker 1: ricocheting around the living rooms of America. This is a

306
00:20:16,155 --> 00:20:19,235
Speaker 1: quality that can't be learned. It's either something you have

307
00:20:19,395 --> 00:20:25,755
Speaker 1: or your don't. And man, she's got it. Now. He's

308
00:20:25,795 --> 00:20:29,315
Speaker 1: writing op eds for the Times, for the systemic and

309
00:20:29,395 --> 00:20:32,275
Speaker 1: possible fatal problems of the Times. All I can say

310
00:20:32,435 --> 00:20:37,995
Speaker 1: is this. In that context, this from Rich Lowry was

311
00:20:38,035 --> 00:20:47,155
Speaker 1: a fitting climax. Also of interest here this all new

312
00:20:47,275 --> 00:20:50,035
Speaker 1: edition of Countdown. A top Trump aid complains that the

313
00:20:50,075 --> 00:20:52,155
Speaker 1: Democrats had a guy on the Sunday shows who was

314
00:20:52,235 --> 00:20:54,875
Speaker 1: so old he should be in a retirement home. Guess

315
00:20:54,915 --> 00:20:59,715
Speaker 1: who the guy is younger than and the operational head

316
00:20:59,715 --> 00:21:04,275
Speaker 1: of ESPN. The former producer of the Dan Patrick Keith

317
00:21:04,275 --> 00:21:08,635
Speaker 1: Oleriman Sports Center is succeeded in his role by the

318
00:21:08,675 --> 00:21:12,155
Speaker 1: other former producer of the Dan Patrick Keith Alriman Sports Center.

319
00:21:14,155 --> 00:21:16,235
Speaker 1: This is either testament to how easy I was to

320
00:21:16,275 --> 00:21:19,795
Speaker 1: work with or how scarred you get after working with me.

321
00:21:20,075 --> 00:21:23,435
Speaker 1: That's next. This is Sports Countdown.

322
00:21:25,555 --> 00:21:29,835
Speaker 2: This is Countdown with Keith Olberman, my crazy friend.

323
00:21:50,115 --> 00:21:52,635
Speaker 1: Still ahead of us on this all new edition of Countdown.

324
00:21:52,675 --> 00:21:55,915
Speaker 1: Not only is the former producer of the Big Show

325
00:21:56,035 --> 00:22:00,515
Speaker 1: eleven PM edition of ESPN Sports Center the new operational

326
00:22:00,635 --> 00:22:06,835
Speaker 1: chief at ESPN, succeeding the guy he succeeded thirty years ago,

327
00:22:06,875 --> 00:22:08,915
Speaker 1: who had also been the producer of the Big Show

328
00:22:09,035 --> 00:22:12,915
Speaker 1: edition of ESPN's eleven PM Sports Center. But now it

329
00:22:12,995 --> 00:22:18,355
Speaker 1: turns out I me personally managed to help kill off

330
00:22:18,915 --> 00:22:22,875
Speaker 1: the best all news radio station there ever was. And

331
00:22:22,955 --> 00:22:26,195
Speaker 1: there is a newly rediscovered cassette of my debut as

332
00:22:26,235 --> 00:22:28,955
Speaker 1: a professional newscaster, and the date is if you are

333
00:22:28,995 --> 00:22:36,835
Speaker 1: sitting down, please July twenty fifth, nineteen eighty ahead in

334
00:22:36,875 --> 00:22:40,235
Speaker 1: a combined edition of Sports Centers, Central and Things I

335
00:22:40,315 --> 00:22:43,235
Speaker 1: Promised Not to Tell First, there are still more new

336
00:22:43,275 --> 00:22:45,715
Speaker 1: idiots to talk about. The daily roundup of the miss Grants,

337
00:22:45,715 --> 00:22:49,435
Speaker 1: morons and Dunning Kruger effects specimens, who constitute two days

338
00:22:49,635 --> 00:22:51,835
Speaker 1: worst persons in.

339
00:22:51,715 --> 00:22:52,755
Speaker 2: The world.

340
00:22:54,035 --> 00:22:59,435
Speaker 1: Besides me, the bronze worse don Old. This did not

341
00:22:59,555 --> 00:23:03,035
Speaker 1: seem to resonate for some reason, probably because we get it.

342
00:23:03,475 --> 00:23:06,315
Speaker 1: He's having a series of mini strokes. We get it

343
00:23:07,155 --> 00:23:11,715
Speaker 1: Friday night Saturday morning. He apparently posted on truth Social

344
00:23:12,035 --> 00:23:13,915
Speaker 1: it's a brand name. It doesn't actually mean any of

345
00:23:13,955 --> 00:23:18,475
Speaker 1: it's true. These are great patriots who work their hearts

346
00:23:18,515 --> 00:23:24,635
Speaker 1: out to have a strong and powerful border, only to

347
00:23:24,715 --> 00:23:27,675
Speaker 1: be harassed by borders. Zach Kamala Harris, who wants the

348
00:23:29,115 --> 00:23:31,835
Speaker 1: that's the whole thing. These are great patriots who work

349
00:23:31,875 --> 00:23:34,475
Speaker 1: their hearts out to have a strong and powerful nuns

350
00:23:35,555 --> 00:23:37,555
Speaker 1: I'll spell it in a moment border, only to be

351
00:23:37,755 --> 00:23:41,715
Speaker 1: harassed by borders, zar Kamala Harris, who wants the that

352
00:23:41,875 --> 00:23:47,355
Speaker 1: was it? Mini stroke powerful nuns the Kofeve of twenty

353
00:23:47,435 --> 00:23:50,475
Speaker 1: twenty four pow r f U l.

354
00:23:50,595 --> 00:23:51,515
Speaker 4: N n z.

355
00:23:53,475 --> 00:23:58,235
Speaker 1: QAnon will be able to explain that, or a good neuropathologist.

356
00:23:59,435 --> 00:24:02,915
Speaker 1: They run her up. Worser Andrea Tanteraro's former host of

357
00:24:02,995 --> 00:24:05,435
Speaker 1: Foxes The Five and how bad do you have to

358
00:24:05,475 --> 00:24:09,195
Speaker 1: be at your job to be removed from the Five?

359
00:24:10,195 --> 00:24:14,675
Speaker 1: This is where they let Dana Perino, possibly the stupidest

360
00:24:15,315 --> 00:24:19,475
Speaker 1: human being alive, and Jesse Waters, who's runner up or

361
00:24:19,555 --> 00:24:24,315
Speaker 1: tied out there every day to let their brains leak

362
00:24:24,355 --> 00:24:27,795
Speaker 1: out of their ears on national television, brains they can

363
00:24:27,875 --> 00:24:31,595
Speaker 1: ill afford to lose. I might add Andrea Tantris used

364
00:24:31,595 --> 00:24:33,235
Speaker 1: to be a host of that show, and then she

365
00:24:33,355 --> 00:24:36,075
Speaker 1: got removed, and it wasn't just because she filed sexual

366
00:24:36,075 --> 00:24:39,555
Speaker 1: harassment lawsuits against all the schmucks like Roger Ales and

367
00:24:39,595 --> 00:24:44,235
Speaker 1: Bill O'Reilly. Cheryl Atkinson, who also was once an actual

368
00:24:44,355 --> 00:24:52,075
Speaker 1: news reporter for CBS, simply tweeted, Kamala looks good. Andrea Tantaros,

369
00:24:53,155 --> 00:24:58,195
Speaker 1: like ten minutes later, sub tweeted her. Cheryl Andkison writes,

370
00:24:58,275 --> 00:25:02,915
Speaker 1: Kamala looks good. Andrea Tantaros writes, so did Hitler. Impeccable

371
00:25:02,995 --> 00:25:09,355
Speaker 1: manscaping and tailoring. You're just like the rest two things, Andrea.

372
00:25:09,915 --> 00:25:14,275
Speaker 1: First of all, you've made Cheryl Atkinson look normal. You

373
00:25:14,355 --> 00:25:17,675
Speaker 1: really want to be responsible for that? Then number two,

374
00:25:21,555 --> 00:25:26,195
Speaker 1: man scaping referring to Kamala Harris. First of all, Man's

375
00:25:26,235 --> 00:25:30,595
Speaker 1: impeccable manscaping and tailoring man scaping of Hitler? Do we know,

376
00:25:30,715 --> 00:25:36,915
Speaker 1: Angela Andrea, what manscaping means these days in the popular lingo?

377
00:25:37,235 --> 00:25:40,875
Speaker 1: What the kids mean when they say manscaping? Why do

378
00:25:40,955 --> 00:25:46,835
Speaker 1: you know something about Hitler's manscaping? Also, I want to

379
00:25:46,875 --> 00:25:49,235
Speaker 1: add something here, even if you're just talking about Hitler's

380
00:25:49,235 --> 00:25:53,555
Speaker 1: haircut here, have you seen pictures of Hitler's haircut and

381
00:25:53,555 --> 00:25:55,435
Speaker 1: how uneven it was? I haven't seen that lopside of

382
00:25:55,475 --> 00:26:01,595
Speaker 1: a haircut since since JB. Vance. But the winner, the

383
00:26:01,675 --> 00:26:05,115
Speaker 1: circular gentleman, Jason Miller, the one accused of, you know,

384
00:26:05,395 --> 00:26:10,995
Speaker 1: slipping extra ingredients into his smoothies. Ron philip Kowski pointed

385
00:26:11,035 --> 00:26:15,195
Speaker 1: this out on Sunday. Jason Miller still somehow a Trump

386
00:26:15,275 --> 00:26:17,715
Speaker 1: advisor after all this? Well, I mean, on the ranks

387
00:26:17,715 --> 00:26:21,115
Speaker 1: of how bad you have to be as a human being,

388
00:26:21,155 --> 00:26:23,875
Speaker 1: he's probably only like the one thousandth worst person working

389
00:26:23,915 --> 00:26:27,315
Speaker 1: for Trump out of the million. This was one of

390
00:26:27,395 --> 00:26:31,275
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris's most consequential weeks in her political career. Jason

391
00:26:31,315 --> 00:26:36,755
Speaker 1: Miller rights from DC look at the commies and retreads

392
00:26:36,795 --> 00:26:39,355
Speaker 1: the Dems had out on TV this Sunday. I mean,

393
00:26:39,675 --> 00:26:43,595
Speaker 1: he writes, what retirement home did they pull Tom Dashel

394
00:26:43,715 --> 00:26:48,155
Speaker 1: out of? Former Senate Majority leader Tom Dashell was born

395
00:26:48,235 --> 00:26:53,515
Speaker 1: on December ninth, nineteen forty seven. Trump, on the other hand,

396
00:26:53,595 --> 00:26:58,235
Speaker 1: was born on June fourteenth, nineteen forty six. Not only

397
00:26:58,315 --> 00:27:02,315
Speaker 1: is Dashel younger than Trump, but he's eighteen months younger

398
00:27:02,355 --> 00:27:06,435
Speaker 1: than Trump. So the answer to the question what retirement

399
00:27:06,475 --> 00:27:10,195
Speaker 1: home did they pull Tom Dashel out of? Is the

400
00:27:10,235 --> 00:27:14,475
Speaker 1: one Trump should be in with young Dashel feeding him

401
00:27:14,555 --> 00:27:20,675
Speaker 1: porridge with a spoon. Jason Miller two days worst person

402
00:27:21,715 --> 00:27:24,675
Speaker 1: in the world. Never asked a question you don't know

403
00:27:24,755 --> 00:27:25,235
Speaker 1: the answer.

404
00:27:50,555 --> 00:27:56,955
Speaker 5: This is sports Senate. Wait, check that not anymore. This

405
00:27:57,795 --> 00:28:01,475
Speaker 5: is Countdown with Keith Ulberman.

406
00:28:01,995 --> 00:28:04,475
Speaker 1: Sports for people who don't like sports. Actually it's a

407
00:28:04,475 --> 00:28:06,635
Speaker 1: common a nation. Sports for people who don't like sports

408
00:28:06,755 --> 00:28:11,555
Speaker 1: and things I promised not to tell. Dateline, Bristol, Connecticut.

409
00:28:11,835 --> 00:28:14,275
Speaker 3: Hello.

410
00:28:15,395 --> 00:28:18,995
Speaker 1: ESPN has named Mike McQuaid as its new executive vice

411
00:28:19,035 --> 00:28:23,875
Speaker 1: president of Sports Production. Basically, he succeeds longtime executive Norby Williamson.

412
00:28:24,995 --> 00:28:28,115
Speaker 1: This is the part of the movie where I came in.

413
00:28:29,035 --> 00:28:32,435
Speaker 1: If you saw this story online and you saw Mike

414
00:28:32,515 --> 00:28:37,195
Speaker 1: mcquad's picture, No, he's not wanted for anything. That's just

415
00:28:37,355 --> 00:28:40,035
Speaker 1: how his photos always turn out.

416
00:28:40,355 --> 00:28:40,875
Speaker 3: Always.

417
00:28:41,195 --> 00:28:44,755
Speaker 1: There's no search for him in seventeen Western states. No,

418
00:28:45,355 --> 00:28:49,355
Speaker 1: but here's the point. In nineteen ninety four, Norby Williamson

419
00:28:49,435 --> 00:28:51,955
Speaker 1: was succeeded as the producer of the eleven PM Big

420
00:28:51,995 --> 00:28:56,995
Speaker 1: Show edition of Sports Center by Mike McQuaid. Thirty years later,

421
00:28:57,035 --> 00:29:00,595
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four, Norby Williamson was succeeded as operational

422
00:29:00,675 --> 00:29:07,075
Speaker 1: chief of ESPN by Mike McQuaid. A patience is a

423
00:29:07,155 --> 00:29:13,635
Speaker 1: virtue b then as now, all roads to power lead

424
00:29:13,835 --> 00:29:21,395
Speaker 1: through Dan and Keith Dateline No York, New York. As

425
00:29:21,435 --> 00:29:24,235
Speaker 1: I mentioned last week, the finest all news radio station

426
00:29:24,315 --> 00:29:28,355
Speaker 1: in history was to go off the air at midnight Sunday, Monday.

427
00:29:29,515 --> 00:29:33,195
Speaker 1: It happened. No reprieve your maniacs, You'll build up od

428
00:29:33,315 --> 00:29:39,475
Speaker 1: damn God, damn you alte WCBS New York went off

429
00:29:39,515 --> 00:29:43,195
Speaker 1: the air just shy of fifty seven years since its

430
00:29:43,395 --> 00:29:48,195
Speaker 1: most recent newscasts started in August nineteen sixty seven, and

431
00:29:48,315 --> 00:29:51,155
Speaker 1: only when the veteran anchor Wayne Cabot gave the last

432
00:29:51,155 --> 00:29:54,475
Speaker 1: station ID and the station went silent for a second

433
00:29:54,555 --> 00:30:00,435
Speaker 1: at midnight? Did I realize I was one of the murderers.

434
00:30:01,635 --> 00:30:04,235
Speaker 1: The next thing you heard after the silence where News

435
00:30:04,315 --> 00:30:07,435
Speaker 1: Radio eighty eight or eight eighty should have been was

436
00:30:08,955 --> 00:30:13,555
Speaker 1: ESPN Radio, which I launched in nineteen ninety two. I

437
00:30:13,595 --> 00:30:16,315
Speaker 1: mean I broke the first big story on the first weekend,

438
00:30:16,875 --> 00:30:20,235
Speaker 1: which gave the thing the credibility it would then use

439
00:30:20,515 --> 00:30:23,315
Speaker 1: years later to destroy the best all news radio station

440
00:30:23,435 --> 00:30:28,675
Speaker 1: in history, the butterfly effect. We're still the first thing

441
00:30:28,795 --> 00:30:33,475
Speaker 1: on ESPN Radio eight eighty was ESPN Radio Sports Center

442
00:30:34,155 --> 00:30:36,995
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety two. When we launched the radio network,

443
00:30:37,355 --> 00:30:40,675
Speaker 1: they used to call the Sports News Updates ESPN Updates

444
00:30:40,795 --> 00:30:43,475
Speaker 1: or something similar to had a guy named Tony Lamonica

445
00:30:43,515 --> 00:30:45,915
Speaker 1: do it? Or used to point his finger out the

446
00:30:45,915 --> 00:30:49,155
Speaker 1: window of the studio and queue somebody to do something

447
00:30:49,195 --> 00:30:51,835
Speaker 1: that didn't have to be cued and didn't do anyway.

448
00:30:52,275 --> 00:30:55,075
Speaker 1: We called the ESPN Updates or something similar, and I said,

449
00:30:55,115 --> 00:30:58,155
Speaker 1: why aren't you calling it ESPN Radio Sports Center. That's

450
00:30:58,195 --> 00:31:00,195
Speaker 1: the brand name. And they said, oh no, no, no, can't

451
00:31:00,195 --> 00:31:01,915
Speaker 1: do that. We don't want to dilute the brand name.

452
00:31:01,995 --> 00:31:04,515
Speaker 1: And I kept pushing for it. Six seven months in

453
00:31:05,195 --> 00:31:08,755
Speaker 1: they renamed it ESPN Radio Sports Center, which was the

454
00:31:08,755 --> 00:31:13,075
Speaker 1: first thing you heard after WCBS went off the air.

455
00:31:13,835 --> 00:31:20,875
Speaker 1: So I killed WCBS. I'm sorry, I won't do it again.

456
00:31:22,595 --> 00:31:24,555
Speaker 1: All of which brings us to the number one story

457
00:31:24,555 --> 00:31:26,675
Speaker 1: on the countdown and things I promised not to tell,

458
00:31:27,195 --> 00:31:30,475
Speaker 1: and the broadcasting business just got a little smaller. And

459
00:31:30,555 --> 00:31:34,275
Speaker 1: if you think this is it, no, sir. I worked

460
00:31:34,275 --> 00:31:37,235
Speaker 1: at five different New York radio stations, most of them

461
00:31:37,275 --> 00:31:40,515
Speaker 1: in my youth. Two were as part of network gigs.

462
00:31:40,515 --> 00:31:43,595
Speaker 1: I did sportscasts on the RKO Radio network and I

463
00:31:43,635 --> 00:31:46,515
Speaker 1: would then go upstairs to WOOR twice a day to

464
00:31:46,595 --> 00:31:50,635
Speaker 1: do local sportscasts for them. Same at the ABC network

465
00:31:50,675 --> 00:31:55,475
Speaker 1: and WABC. I even did news commentaries for WABC. I

466
00:31:55,555 --> 00:32:00,035
Speaker 1: was a regular on WNW and WNWFM here, and I

467
00:32:00,075 --> 00:32:03,195
Speaker 1: appeared a couple of times on WIONS here as part

468
00:32:03,195 --> 00:32:05,475
Speaker 1: of work I was doing for its your all news

469
00:32:05,475 --> 00:32:11,635
Speaker 1: station in La KFWB. Out of those five outlets, RKO

470
00:32:11,795 --> 00:32:16,915
Speaker 1: doesn't exist anymore. WNW ANDWNWFM are long gone. I think

471
00:32:16,955 --> 00:32:18,755
Speaker 1: they went out of business in nineteen ninety two. At

472
00:32:18,835 --> 00:32:23,555
Speaker 1: least WNW did KFWB Los Angeles is gone. I think

473
00:32:23,595 --> 00:32:25,315
Speaker 1: they still have the call letters, but it ain't all

474
00:32:25,355 --> 00:32:29,075
Speaker 1: news anymore, hasn't been for fifteen years. And the station

475
00:32:29,235 --> 00:32:32,995
Speaker 1: I really wanted to work for was WCBS. I've told

476
00:32:32,995 --> 00:32:35,995
Speaker 1: that story many times, including the story of the support

477
00:32:36,075 --> 00:32:38,355
Speaker 1: I got as I was starting my career from the

478
00:32:38,435 --> 00:32:42,275
Speaker 1: legendary news director of WCBS, the late Lou Adler. I

479
00:32:42,395 --> 00:32:45,395
Speaker 1: kind of worked for WCBS. The job I did get

480
00:32:45,475 --> 00:32:47,835
Speaker 1: at the start of my career was at UPI Radio,

481
00:32:48,115 --> 00:32:50,395
Speaker 1: which by the way, has been long out of business.

482
00:32:51,075 --> 00:32:54,555
Speaker 1: WCBS used to use our reports from UPI all the time,

483
00:32:54,875 --> 00:32:58,195
Speaker 1: all the time. That was the greatest validation I could

484
00:32:58,235 --> 00:33:01,835
Speaker 1: get to turn on the actual radio to my radio

485
00:33:01,875 --> 00:33:05,675
Speaker 1: station and hear myself, a twenty year old rookie on there.

486
00:33:06,795 --> 00:33:09,795
Speaker 1: But most of my local radio stationing was done on

487
00:33:09,835 --> 00:33:12,635
Speaker 1: those two wnews. And in fact, I was looking for

488
00:33:12,715 --> 00:33:16,675
Speaker 1: some old clips from CBS when I was reminded that

489
00:33:16,755 --> 00:33:20,115
Speaker 1: the first time I actually did news anchoring for money,

490
00:33:20,195 --> 00:33:23,915
Speaker 1: it was on a Friday afternoon in July nineteen eighty

491
00:33:24,075 --> 00:33:26,995
Speaker 1: when everybody else, and I mean everybody else in the

492
00:33:26,995 --> 00:33:31,675
Speaker 1: news department at WNEW was outsick or on vacation or something.

493
00:33:31,715 --> 00:33:35,155
Speaker 1: I mean everybody. I had done the sports reporting that morning.

494
00:33:35,155 --> 00:33:37,675
Speaker 1: I'd been there at three am, and as I was

495
00:33:37,755 --> 00:33:41,435
Speaker 1: leaving at maybe nine o'clock in the morning, the second

496
00:33:41,555 --> 00:33:45,595
Speaker 1: of the two afternoon newscasters. They had two newscasters who

497
00:33:45,595 --> 00:33:47,955
Speaker 1: worked in the afternoon. One did the top of the

498
00:33:47,995 --> 00:33:50,475
Speaker 1: hour news, one at the bottom. Now, if the station

499
00:33:50,555 --> 00:33:53,755
Speaker 1: has two newscasters, that's a lot. They had two newscasters

500
00:33:53,795 --> 00:33:57,595
Speaker 1: on the same shift, and it was a music station anyway.

501
00:33:57,835 --> 00:34:00,195
Speaker 1: The second of them, Charles Scott King, who did the

502
00:34:00,195 --> 00:34:02,915
Speaker 1: bottom of the hour newscasts that were mostly sports. Anyway,

503
00:34:03,475 --> 00:34:06,715
Speaker 1: he called in sick. So they then had to page

504
00:34:06,795 --> 00:34:10,595
Speaker 1: the news director on his beeper to get him to

505
00:34:10,635 --> 00:34:16,595
Speaker 1: approve the last option me. No audition, no tests. They

506
00:34:16,675 --> 00:34:19,515
Speaker 1: just said, well, he sounds okay, I guess doing the sports.

507
00:34:19,795 --> 00:34:21,795
Speaker 1: Oh what are we gonna do? Just put on the

508
00:34:21,835 --> 00:34:25,435
Speaker 1: horse racing results for an hour. So there I was

509
00:34:26,115 --> 00:34:29,195
Speaker 1: back at the station after a quick nap, maybe four

510
00:34:29,235 --> 00:34:31,075
Speaker 1: point thirty in the afternoon. I was on the air

511
00:34:31,395 --> 00:34:35,515
Speaker 1: doing drive time news on a big time, highly rated

512
00:34:35,555 --> 00:34:39,955
Speaker 1: news station in the biggest market in the country. So

513
00:34:40,195 --> 00:34:43,275
Speaker 1: here's what I found While looking for those clips clips

514
00:34:43,835 --> 00:34:46,755
Speaker 1: hit stop now if you do not want to hear

515
00:34:46,875 --> 00:34:50,395
Speaker 1: my twenty one year old voice. The first is a

516
00:34:50,515 --> 00:34:53,235
Speaker 1: quick report I did for UPI from the World Pool

517
00:34:53,315 --> 00:34:57,435
Speaker 1: Championship as it appeared on WCBS on August twenty third,

518
00:34:57,555 --> 00:35:03,235
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty. The WCBS anchor is Gary Moore. Geene Belucas

519
00:35:03,275 --> 00:35:06,435
Speaker 1: of Brooklyn has won the World Open Pool Championship.

520
00:35:06,555 --> 00:35:09,395
Speaker 4: Keith Oberman reports from the competition in Manhattan.

521
00:35:09,595 --> 00:35:11,795
Speaker 6: For the other women in professional pool, it is once

522
00:35:11,835 --> 00:35:14,155
Speaker 6: again the same old story. Very good is just not

523
00:35:14,235 --> 00:35:16,915
Speaker 6: good enough to unseat the reigning champ, Jean Belucas. The

524
00:35:16,955 --> 00:35:19,515
Speaker 6: twenty one year old sharpshooter, took her second straight World

525
00:35:19,515 --> 00:35:22,355
Speaker 6: Open title and kept her record intact. She's unbeaten in

526
00:35:22,435 --> 00:35:25,635
Speaker 6: major tournament plays since nineteen seventy three. The finals saw

527
00:35:25,715 --> 00:35:28,395
Speaker 6: Lucas run through Billy Billing, marking a high run of

528
00:35:28,435 --> 00:35:30,315
Speaker 6: forty one straight balls on her way to a one

529
00:35:30,355 --> 00:35:33,075
Speaker 6: hundred and twenty five victory. The champ was pleased with

530
00:35:33,115 --> 00:35:34,115
Speaker 6: her showing each.

531
00:35:33,955 --> 00:35:35,675
Speaker 1: Game I played, I had a good run in there,

532
00:35:36,595 --> 00:35:38,995
Speaker 1: especially in the finals. At the women's game, I had

533
00:35:38,995 --> 00:35:43,035
Speaker 1: two good runs in there, and I'm.

534
00:35:42,275 --> 00:35:44,875
Speaker 3: Pretty proud of myself. I think this is the tournament

535
00:35:44,875 --> 00:35:45,155
Speaker 3: that I.

536
00:35:45,115 --> 00:35:48,475
Speaker 6: Played my best in Jean Belucas, who, besides her women's title,

537
00:35:48,475 --> 00:35:50,555
Speaker 6: finished in the top third of the strong sixty three

538
