1 00:00:04,835 --> 00:00:17,915 Speaker 1: Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. Here 2 00:00:17,915 --> 00:00:21,395 Speaker 1: the Monday Countdown headlines. There is a day in each 3 00:00:21,595 --> 00:00:26,075 Speaker 1: failed presidential campaign where the losing candidate wakes up with 4 00:00:26,195 --> 00:00:30,075 Speaker 1: his chances of becoming presidents still intact, but goes to 5 00:00:30,155 --> 00:00:35,595 Speaker 1: bed with them irrevocably destroyed. I think for Trump that 6 00:00:35,755 --> 00:00:40,475 Speaker 1: day was yesterday. The viability of his candidacy has largely 7 00:00:40,515 --> 00:00:45,755 Speaker 1: depended on his growing support among Latinos. This was Trump's 8 00:00:45,955 --> 00:00:49,755 Speaker 1: warm up act yesterday at the rally at Madison Square Garden, 9 00:00:49,915 --> 00:00:50,435 Speaker 1: New York. 10 00:00:50,755 --> 00:00:53,715 Speaker 2: These Latinos they love making babies too. Just know that 11 00:00:54,635 --> 00:01:00,875 Speaker 2: they do. They do. There's no pulling out, they don't 12 00:01:00,875 --> 00:01:03,075 Speaker 2: do that. They come inside, just like they did to 13 00:01:03,115 --> 00:01:10,235 Speaker 2: our country, Republicans of the Party with a good sense 14 00:01:10,275 --> 00:01:12,435 Speaker 2: of humor. I don't know if you guys know this, 15 00:01:12,555 --> 00:01:15,835 Speaker 2: but there's literally a floating island of garbage in the 16 00:01:15,835 --> 00:01:17,235 Speaker 2: middle of the ocean right now. 17 00:01:17,715 --> 00:01:18,075 Speaker 3: Yeah. 18 00:01:18,235 --> 00:01:19,515 Speaker 2: I think it's called Puerto Rico. 19 00:01:21,235 --> 00:01:26,875 Speaker 1: That is a self described, inaccurately self described comedian named 20 00:01:26,995 --> 00:01:34,235 Speaker 1: Tony Hinchcliff. It is literally possible that Tony Hinchcliff just 21 00:01:34,595 --> 00:01:41,035 Speaker 1: clinched the election for Kamala Harris hours earlier, ABC News 22 00:01:41,075 --> 00:01:44,235 Speaker 1: had reported polling, while giving the vice president a national 23 00:01:44,355 --> 00:01:47,315 Speaker 1: lead of four points among likely voters, that her support 24 00:01:47,395 --> 00:01:50,515 Speaker 1: among Hispanic voters had been twelve points fifty five to 25 00:01:50,555 --> 00:01:53,475 Speaker 1: forty three at the start of this month, but that 26 00:01:53,595 --> 00:01:57,315 Speaker 1: it had now grown to sixty four percent to thirty 27 00:01:57,355 --> 00:02:02,195 Speaker 1: four percent, thirty points over Trump, the lead nearly tripling 28 00:02:02,515 --> 00:02:06,875 Speaker 1: in three weeks before or that idiot said what he said, 29 00:02:07,635 --> 00:02:12,755 Speaker 1: and Latinos or Hispanics, or more accurately and respectfully, the 30 00:02:12,835 --> 00:02:16,555 Speaker 1: various groups that make up a diaspora of connected heritages 31 00:02:16,995 --> 00:02:21,475 Speaker 1: are hardly a uniform voting block, but this moron Hingecliff 32 00:02:21,875 --> 00:02:26,915 Speaker 1: managed to offend them all and single out Puerto Ricans. 33 00:02:27,915 --> 00:02:32,755 Speaker 1: Four hundred and fifty thousand residents of Pennsylvania self identify 34 00:02:32,835 --> 00:02:35,675 Speaker 1: as Puerto Rican, one hundred and twenty seven thousand, one 35 00:02:35,755 --> 00:02:38,795 Speaker 1: hundred and fourteen of them in Philadelphia, thirty three thousand, 36 00:02:38,835 --> 00:02:41,195 Speaker 1: five hundred and thirty one of them in Allentown. One 37 00:02:41,275 --> 00:02:44,715 Speaker 1: hundred thousand residents of North Carolina identify as Puerto Rican, 38 00:02:44,875 --> 00:02:48,795 Speaker 1: sixty five thousand in Wisconsin, fifty thousand Michiganders, to say 39 00:02:48,835 --> 00:02:53,235 Speaker 1: nothing of one million Floridians and a quarter million Texans. 40 00:02:53,275 --> 00:02:56,955 Speaker 1: And of course there's that other issue. Twelve percent of 41 00:02:57,235 --> 00:03:02,195 Speaker 1: likely voters nationwide are Hispanic and by the way, about 42 00:03:02,195 --> 00:03:06,115 Speaker 1: that one million in Florida. Within four hours of this 43 00:03:06,275 --> 00:03:10,035 Speaker 1: bonehead Hinchcliff's career ender, and I mean career ender for Trump, 44 00:03:10,275 --> 00:03:15,435 Speaker 1: Miami Congresswoman Maria Salazar and Florida Senator Rick Scott repudiated 45 00:03:15,515 --> 00:03:21,395 Speaker 1: Hinchcliff and the joke and the insult. Rick Scott, Voldemort's 46 00:03:21,555 --> 00:03:25,715 Speaker 1: less well known brother. Even Rick Scott realized what a 47 00:03:25,715 --> 00:03:29,355 Speaker 1: disaster this was for Trump and MAGA and the Republicans 48 00:03:29,435 --> 00:03:33,675 Speaker 1: and this election. As to everybody who is not Hispanic, 49 00:03:34,195 --> 00:03:39,435 Speaker 1: don't worry. Trump hates you too. You are still part 50 00:03:39,475 --> 00:03:44,355 Speaker 1: of the enemy within which he mentioned yesterday again and 51 00:03:44,395 --> 00:03:47,275 Speaker 1: again and again and again. You are part of that group, 52 00:03:47,275 --> 00:03:51,475 Speaker 1: along with the Latinos and Blacks and Jews and Muslims 53 00:03:51,555 --> 00:03:56,155 Speaker 1: and transgendered and Democrats and injured military and media and 54 00:03:56,195 --> 00:04:00,435 Speaker 1: critics and judges. Because the final masks all fell away 55 00:04:00,555 --> 00:04:04,795 Speaker 1: yesterday and they all reveled in their racism, and the raging, 56 00:04:04,915 --> 00:04:08,515 Speaker 1: murderous hate came pouring out in a way that would 57 00:04:08,515 --> 00:04:13,755 Speaker 1: have shamed the previous American Nazis who soiled the stage 58 00:04:13,835 --> 00:04:17,395 Speaker 1: at the previous Madison Square Garden in nineteen thirty nine. 59 00:04:17,635 --> 00:04:23,155 Speaker 1: America is for Americans and Americans only. That was Stephen 60 00:04:23,235 --> 00:04:29,435 Speaker 1: Miller Gurbels without hair, Trump's personal fountain of hate, screaming 61 00:04:29,635 --> 00:04:32,875 Speaker 1: America is for Americans and Americans only. Had this been 62 00:04:32,915 --> 00:04:36,475 Speaker 1: true in nineteen oh five, when Stephen Miller's ancestors were 63 00:04:36,475 --> 00:04:40,995 Speaker 1: trying to escape Paul Grom's in Russia, yearning to breathe free, 64 00:04:41,115 --> 00:04:45,635 Speaker 1: they would have died tempest, tossed, or at the Cossacks sword, 65 00:04:45,915 --> 00:04:50,395 Speaker 1: and Stephen Miller would never have existed. Incidentally, America is 66 00:04:50,435 --> 00:04:54,475 Speaker 1: for Americans and Americans only. Stephen Miller just called for 67 00:04:54,515 --> 00:05:00,035 Speaker 1: the deportation of Milania Trump, of Elon Musk, of exsuming 68 00:05:00,115 --> 00:05:03,715 Speaker 1: and removing Trump's dead mother, oh On. Just to make 69 00:05:03,755 --> 00:05:07,275 Speaker 1: sure everybody was a speaker made a joke about for Halloween, 70 00:05:07,515 --> 00:05:12,435 Speaker 1: how African Americans were carving not pumpkins but watermelons, and 71 00:05:12,475 --> 00:05:16,195 Speaker 1: the music they've played right before introducing Congressman Byron what 72 00:05:16,235 --> 00:05:20,435 Speaker 1: the FM I doing here? Donald's it was Dixie, the 73 00:05:20,475 --> 00:05:24,995 Speaker 1: Civil War anthem of the Confederacy. The most racist lines 74 00:05:25,115 --> 00:05:29,435 Speaker 1: in the most racist song of the nineteenth century, there 75 00:05:29,475 --> 00:05:37,395 Speaker 1: are no more masks. It is an absolute fact that 76 00:05:37,595 --> 00:05:43,195 Speaker 1: each losing presidential candidate has an expiration day. Often it 77 00:05:43,275 --> 00:05:46,835 Speaker 1: is election day itself, obviously, sometimes days or weeks after 78 00:05:47,235 --> 00:05:51,755 Speaker 1: ask Al Gore or Governor Sam Tilden from eighteen seventy six. 79 00:05:52,475 --> 00:05:55,955 Speaker 1: Sometimes it won't be identifiable for weeks or months until 80 00:05:55,995 --> 00:05:59,195 Speaker 1: after it happens. Mitt Romney made his remarks about the 81 00:05:59,235 --> 00:06:04,155 Speaker 1: forty seven percent on May seventeenth. David Korn published the 82 00:06:04,195 --> 00:06:08,195 Speaker 1: tape on September seventeenth. Romney still seemed viable as a 83 00:06:08,235 --> 00:06:14,475 Speaker 1: candidate on October seventeenth, No, he was done on May seventeenth. 84 00:06:14,595 --> 00:06:18,875 Speaker 1: McCain lost on September twenty third, when he inexplicably suspended 85 00:06:18,875 --> 00:06:21,715 Speaker 1: his campaign in a stunt in which he claimed he 86 00:06:21,755 --> 00:06:23,915 Speaker 1: had to instead go deal with the two thousand and 87 00:06:23,955 --> 00:06:27,115 Speaker 1: eight fiscal crisis, as if he were not confident enough 88 00:06:27,115 --> 00:06:29,995 Speaker 1: to do both at the same time. The same day, 89 00:06:29,995 --> 00:06:33,995 Speaker 1: he bailed out of a free hour of one on 90 00:06:33,995 --> 00:06:38,515 Speaker 1: one network TV publicity with David Letterman and lied to 91 00:06:38,595 --> 00:06:41,395 Speaker 1: Letterman about what he was doing instead, and wound up 92 00:06:41,435 --> 00:06:44,675 Speaker 1: watching in horror as Letterman could find only one other 93 00:06:44,795 --> 00:06:48,195 Speaker 1: political guest at what was literally the last minute before 94 00:06:48,195 --> 00:06:54,355 Speaker 1: the taping started, and that guest was me if Yesterday's 95 00:06:54,555 --> 00:06:57,915 Speaker 1: was Trump's swan song, It came with the most bitter 96 00:06:57,995 --> 00:07:01,595 Speaker 1: of ironies, although that too is part of the tradition of, 97 00:07:01,635 --> 00:07:04,835 Speaker 1: to paraphrase the film the sweet smell of success. Your 98 00:07:04,915 --> 00:07:09,155 Speaker 1: campaign is dead, son, get yourself buried the ironies Here 99 00:07:09,715 --> 00:07:13,675 Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, a two minute Trump commercial during the telecast 100 00:07:13,755 --> 00:07:16,955 Speaker 1: of the Eagles football game seen by all of those 101 00:07:16,995 --> 00:07:20,875 Speaker 1: Puerto Ricans who live in Philadelphia. That two minute commercial 102 00:07:20,955 --> 00:07:23,795 Speaker 1: was about how the country had gone to hell under 103 00:07:23,835 --> 00:07:27,315 Speaker 1: Biden and Harris and their presidency. The video was of 104 00:07:27,395 --> 00:07:32,915 Speaker 1: protests during the Trump presidency and the irony back at 105 00:07:32,915 --> 00:07:40,555 Speaker 1: the garden. Trump didn't really say anything unusual for him, 106 00:07:40,595 --> 00:07:47,955 Speaker 1: didn't say anything outlandish, didn't say much noteworthy, probably didn't 107 00:07:47,995 --> 00:07:52,035 Speaker 1: say the worst things said all day. But there is 108 00:07:52,075 --> 00:07:56,075 Speaker 1: a danger when you change the background, when you alter 109 00:07:56,235 --> 00:07:59,435 Speaker 1: the colors, when you swap out the venues, when you 110 00:07:59,555 --> 00:08:03,675 Speaker 1: in effect improve the lighting. For nearly a decade now, 111 00:08:03,715 --> 00:08:06,115 Speaker 1: the Trump rallies have got less and less shocking each 112 00:08:06,155 --> 00:08:08,435 Speaker 1: time because to the majority of America, why would it 113 00:08:08,435 --> 00:08:11,595 Speaker 1: still be shocking that Trump could fill the stage behind 114 00:08:11,675 --> 00:08:16,195 Speaker 1: him with hateful trash in Tupelo or prayer to Sheen 115 00:08:16,275 --> 00:08:21,355 Speaker 1: Wisconsin or zebulon North Carolina. After a while, the parades 116 00:08:21,395 --> 00:08:24,835 Speaker 1: of local politicians who have prostituted themselves to touch the 117 00:08:24,875 --> 00:08:29,435 Speaker 1: hem of Trump's garment all blend into one. Of course, 118 00:08:29,475 --> 00:08:35,475 Speaker 1: they did that They are racists now, racists tomorrow, racists forever. 119 00:08:37,155 --> 00:08:40,315 Speaker 1: But just as the German American Bund discovered in nineteen 120 00:08:40,355 --> 00:08:43,155 Speaker 1: thirty nine when they paraded the swastika into the old 121 00:08:43,195 --> 00:08:46,835 Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden, here there is something about parading Trump's 122 00:08:46,875 --> 00:08:51,115 Speaker 1: backed up sewer of hateful has beens where people can 123 00:08:51,275 --> 00:08:58,515 Speaker 1: see them. Hulk Hogan is still alive, elon Musk, Doctor 124 00:08:58,835 --> 00:09:04,315 Speaker 1: Phil Tucker Carlson. You brought them into the heart of 125 00:09:04,315 --> 00:09:08,915 Speaker 1: bright blue New York City to scream their filth. Somehow 126 00:09:08,915 --> 00:09:13,515 Speaker 1: that contexts that location underscores that they not only believe this, 127 00:09:13,955 --> 00:09:16,635 Speaker 1: They not only see a future only for white people 128 00:09:16,675 --> 00:09:20,595 Speaker 1: and others who have been approved by white people. They 129 00:09:20,635 --> 00:09:23,155 Speaker 1: not only think they are a majority. They not only 130 00:09:23,195 --> 00:09:26,435 Speaker 1: think Trump is beloved. They not only think the tens 131 00:09:26,475 --> 00:09:29,675 Speaker 1: of millions of us who repudiate their best reality and 132 00:09:29,715 --> 00:09:32,955 Speaker 1: their hatred and their racism are somehow just pretending to 133 00:09:32,995 --> 00:09:36,835 Speaker 1: repudiate these things. But most of all, worst of all, 134 00:09:37,195 --> 00:09:41,195 Speaker 1: these scumbags think they're going to get away with it. 135 00:09:42,555 --> 00:09:46,355 Speaker 1: I mean they got away with it last night, police protection, 136 00:09:46,475 --> 00:09:49,955 Speaker 1: private protection, guns and not what would have happened otherwise, 137 00:09:49,995 --> 00:09:52,915 Speaker 1: Thank goodness, not one of them was dragged off the 138 00:09:52,955 --> 00:09:56,915 Speaker 1: stage by New Yorkers and beaten senseless or better yet, 139 00:09:56,955 --> 00:10:00,795 Speaker 1: gently escorted to Bedlow's Island and chained there overnight with 140 00:10:00,835 --> 00:10:03,595 Speaker 1: their eyes taped open so they would be forced to 141 00:10:03,675 --> 00:10:07,355 Speaker 1: read Emma laz poem in the pedestal of the Statue 142 00:10:07,435 --> 00:10:12,075 Speaker 1: of Liberty. The essential point is, because of the context, 143 00:10:12,155 --> 00:10:15,435 Speaker 1: there was an actual surprising quality to that thing. Yesterday, 144 00:10:15,915 --> 00:10:19,955 Speaker 1: a corporate ethics expert once noted as Rupert Murdoch and 145 00:10:19,995 --> 00:10:23,355 Speaker 1: his board of directors and executives and other whores publicly 146 00:10:23,395 --> 00:10:27,275 Speaker 1: tried to avoid all responsibility for Rupert's hacking of the 147 00:10:27,355 --> 00:10:32,835 Speaker 1: voicemails of a murdered child. The corporate ethics expert said, 148 00:10:33,195 --> 00:10:39,235 Speaker 1: I don't think they realize we can see them. Ever 149 00:10:39,275 --> 00:10:43,355 Speaker 1: heard of Charles Lindbergh. Charles Lindbergh was the first man 150 00:10:43,395 --> 00:10:46,475 Speaker 1: to cross the Atlantic in a solo flight from the 151 00:10:46,555 --> 00:10:49,355 Speaker 1: day he landed at Le Bourge Airfield in Paris on 152 00:10:49,435 --> 00:10:52,475 Speaker 1: May twenty first, nineteen twenty seven. He was the most 153 00:10:52,555 --> 00:10:56,795 Speaker 1: popular man in America and probably in the entire world. 154 00:10:57,635 --> 00:11:00,875 Speaker 1: Even as he began to speak out defending Nazism in 155 00:11:00,915 --> 00:11:03,675 Speaker 1: the late thirties, he was still in the top five 156 00:11:03,795 --> 00:11:08,595 Speaker 1: most popular at least. And then he went to Madison 157 00:11:08,635 --> 00:11:12,115 Speaker 1: Square Garden on October thirtieth, nineteen forty one, and he 158 00:11:12,275 --> 00:11:15,715 Speaker 1: insisted the only threat to America was the Jews and 159 00:11:15,875 --> 00:11:20,195 Speaker 1: their large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, 160 00:11:20,355 --> 00:11:25,115 Speaker 1: our radio, our government. And Lindberg insisted there was no 161 00:11:25,315 --> 00:11:29,915 Speaker 1: true threat to America by any foreign power. And thirty 162 00:11:30,035 --> 00:11:33,595 Speaker 1: nine days later the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, and four 163 00:11:33,675 --> 00:11:36,195 Speaker 1: days after that, Hitler declared war on us. And when 164 00:11:36,275 --> 00:11:40,155 Speaker 1: Charles Lindbergh died, first off, there was applause and cheers, 165 00:11:40,635 --> 00:11:44,115 Speaker 1: But secondly, the obituaries were all about his Nazism first 166 00:11:44,715 --> 00:11:49,555 Speaker 1: and the airplane thing. Second. You know whose obituary is 167 00:11:49,555 --> 00:11:57,555 Speaker 1: going to read like that, Elon Musk's. Lindbergh's hate was 168 00:11:57,555 --> 00:12:00,915 Speaker 1: not born that night at Madison Square Garden, October thirtieth, 169 00:12:00,995 --> 00:12:03,075 Speaker 1: nineteen forty one, and it was not born in nineteen 170 00:12:03,155 --> 00:12:05,715 Speaker 1: thirty nine when the German America and Bund went to 171 00:12:06,035 --> 00:12:09,635 Speaker 1: that place, And it wasn't born in nineteen twenty seven. 172 00:12:09,755 --> 00:12:13,395 Speaker 1: What was born at Madison Square Garden and what was 173 00:12:13,435 --> 00:12:16,315 Speaker 1: born at the new Madison Square Garden last night was 174 00:12:16,315 --> 00:12:20,595 Speaker 1: something that had become dulled or paved over, or maybe 175 00:12:20,635 --> 00:12:23,595 Speaker 1: we had never recognized it before, or we could no 176 00:12:23,675 --> 00:12:28,595 Speaker 1: longer see it because the background was bluntly somewhere you 177 00:12:28,675 --> 00:12:33,635 Speaker 1: and I would never go city. What was paved over 178 00:12:33,875 --> 00:12:40,195 Speaker 1: was the shame, the shame that Donald Trump has brought us, 179 00:12:40,915 --> 00:12:50,675 Speaker 1: the shame that these perverted, warped, barely sentient racists live here. 180 00:12:51,915 --> 00:13:08,715 Speaker 1: The shame that we have to end on November fifth. Man, Look, 181 00:13:08,755 --> 00:13:13,835 Speaker 1: it's not just shame and vibes and shock and blowing. 182 00:13:13,915 --> 00:13:17,755 Speaker 1: Whatever margins you had among the Latino and Hispanic voters 183 00:13:18,955 --> 00:13:20,915 Speaker 1: were at that easy, Trump would have been pushed on 184 00:13:20,995 --> 00:13:24,035 Speaker 1: to the next down escalator in twenty fifteen, and by 185 00:13:24,035 --> 00:13:28,635 Speaker 1: now he would have long since arrived in hell. There 186 00:13:28,635 --> 00:13:32,355 Speaker 1: are also the practicalities. The ABC IPSOS poll yesterday did 187 00:13:32,395 --> 00:13:35,635 Speaker 1: put her up by four. The Big Village poll closed 188 00:13:35,715 --> 00:13:38,835 Speaker 1: last Wednesday, Harris by seven, and I don't believe that 189 00:13:38,915 --> 00:13:42,555 Speaker 1: any more than I believe any of the Trump garbage poles. However, 190 00:13:43,715 --> 00:13:45,915 Speaker 1: as I always suggest here, and I think the theme 191 00:13:45,955 --> 00:13:49,475 Speaker 1: of the last two months follow the bouncing poles, confirms 192 00:13:49,835 --> 00:13:54,035 Speaker 1: the interior numbers of poles can be of actual value. 193 00:13:54,555 --> 00:13:59,195 Speaker 1: In the ABC poll, likely African American voters are now 194 00:13:59,275 --> 00:14:05,955 Speaker 1: hers by ninety to seven. CBS poll which came out 195 00:14:06,035 --> 00:14:09,555 Speaker 1: yesterday has her up by one nationally, despite something curious 196 00:14:09,635 --> 00:14:13,155 Speaker 1: In the very first interior number. She leads among women 197 00:14:13,555 --> 00:14:18,835 Speaker 1: by twelve points. He only leads among men by nine points. 198 00:14:19,315 --> 00:14:24,635 Speaker 1: If that difference is correct, she wins handily. And the 199 00:14:24,675 --> 00:14:27,675 Speaker 1: New York Times Siena poll a month ago, its respondents 200 00:14:27,955 --> 00:14:31,155 Speaker 1: gave Trump a thirteen point edge on handling the economy. 201 00:14:31,395 --> 00:14:35,915 Speaker 1: The edge is now six points. The Times poll also 202 00:14:35,995 --> 00:14:38,515 Speaker 1: claims that fifteen percent of the electorate is still not 203 00:14:38,715 --> 00:14:44,635 Speaker 1: fully decided. Those leaners likely's probably's Harris forty two, Trump 204 00:14:44,995 --> 00:14:49,115 Speaker 1: thirty two. I have already underscored the late decider data 205 00:14:49,315 --> 00:14:52,355 Speaker 1: from the Emerson poll last week. This just confirms it. 206 00:14:52,435 --> 00:14:57,875 Speaker 1: Late deciders are going sixty percent for Kamala Harris. Kamala 207 00:14:57,955 --> 00:15:04,235 Speaker 1: Harris is closing. Will this show up in all the polls. Probably. Not. 208 00:15:05,235 --> 00:15:07,315 Speaker 1: If it does show up, don't worry, they'll wait it 209 00:15:07,355 --> 00:15:10,435 Speaker 1: differently to make sure it doesn't show up. Will it 210 00:15:10,475 --> 00:15:14,875 Speaker 1: show up in the election? Probably, there are paths to 211 00:15:14,955 --> 00:15:18,315 Speaker 1: the electoral College in which it doesn't matter, and it 212 00:15:18,395 --> 00:15:20,835 Speaker 1: didn't happen in time, and Trump still wins. But as 213 00:15:20,875 --> 00:15:23,475 Speaker 1: I said at the start, not if enough people hear 214 00:15:23,515 --> 00:15:27,795 Speaker 1: what Trump's minion said here in New York yesterday, not 215 00:15:28,355 --> 00:15:33,475 Speaker 1: what Trump said, what that guy Hinchcliffe said, God, we 216 00:15:33,555 --> 00:15:36,235 Speaker 1: have to build him a statue here outside Madison Square 217 00:15:36,275 --> 00:15:39,675 Speaker 1: Garden at minimum, so the pigeons have something new to 218 00:15:39,755 --> 00:15:44,235 Speaker 1: crap on. I have a friend on the campaign, and 219 00:15:44,315 --> 00:15:47,635 Speaker 1: originally I thought to start this episode with a vaguely 220 00:15:48,555 --> 00:15:52,235 Speaker 1: clouded up version of his optimism and confidence at this 221 00:15:52,395 --> 00:15:55,635 Speaker 1: late date. And then I heard a clip from somebody 222 00:15:55,675 --> 00:15:57,955 Speaker 1: else in the campaign, and I was genuinely surprised because 223 00:15:57,995 --> 00:16:00,995 Speaker 1: this other person is not only one of my friend's bosses, 224 00:16:01,315 --> 00:16:03,955 Speaker 1: but this person has from the start of the campaign 225 00:16:04,275 --> 00:16:08,795 Speaker 1: been traying the Harris campaign as the underdogs, and all 226 00:16:08,835 --> 00:16:13,275 Speaker 1: of a sudden, this person has switched her tone completely. 227 00:16:13,555 --> 00:16:16,155 Speaker 3: It's very exciting the number of young people, you know, 228 00:16:16,155 --> 00:16:19,715 Speaker 3: I've begun to really point out the first time voters 229 00:16:19,715 --> 00:16:22,595 Speaker 3: who are there is now people are actually registered, and 230 00:16:23,875 --> 00:16:27,195 Speaker 3: it's very exciting, and the momentum is with us. 231 00:16:27,515 --> 00:16:33,715 Speaker 1: I know that voice from somewhere. A quick thought in 232 00:16:33,755 --> 00:16:35,755 Speaker 1: passing on the cowardice of the owners of the Los 233 00:16:35,795 --> 00:16:39,835 Speaker 1: Angeles Times in the Washington Post LA, It's the Times. 234 00:16:41,195 --> 00:16:44,315 Speaker 1: For more than half a century, this has been true 235 00:16:44,355 --> 00:16:48,235 Speaker 1: about whoever has run the LA Times. They could f 236 00:16:48,355 --> 00:16:53,755 Speaker 1: up a two car funeral. As to the Post. What 237 00:16:54,275 --> 00:16:58,035 Speaker 1: Bezos kills the routine? Nobody but Trump would have even 238 00:16:58,155 --> 00:17:02,475 Speaker 1: noticed post endorsement of Harris. Then Trump immediately gets to 239 00:17:02,515 --> 00:17:07,715 Speaker 1: meet with Bezos's rocket company. Coincidence, no doubt. I have 240 00:17:07,835 --> 00:17:11,035 Speaker 1: mentioned it many times, always in praise of Bezos, that 241 00:17:11,115 --> 00:17:14,195 Speaker 1: he resisted the attempt to blackmail him into throwing the 242 00:17:14,235 --> 00:17:17,515 Speaker 1: post towards Trump when they tried to blackmail him over 243 00:17:17,595 --> 00:17:22,835 Speaker 1: Laurence Sanchez while he was still married. See now, I'm 244 00:17:22,875 --> 00:17:27,675 Speaker 1: a pretty devious guy, at least in thought seldom indeed, 245 00:17:28,475 --> 00:17:31,795 Speaker 1: I'm kind of ashamed of that. But I have to confess. 246 00:17:32,035 --> 00:17:34,995 Speaker 1: What did not occur to me was what would happen 247 00:17:35,395 --> 00:17:43,675 Speaker 1: if Trump's cronies were still blackmailing Jeff Bezos? Are still 248 00:17:43,715 --> 00:17:50,155 Speaker 1: blackmailing Jeff Bezos? Well, he'd he'd bury a Washington Post 249 00:17:50,195 --> 00:17:57,075 Speaker 1: endorsement of Kamala Harris. Wouldn't he back with a full 250 00:17:57,195 --> 00:18:02,835 Speaker 1: edition tomorrow?
