1
00:00:04,795 --> 00:00:27,555
Speaker 1: Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. I

2
00:00:27,595 --> 00:00:30,755
Speaker 1: don't care if Trump puts the Pope in charge of ICE.

3
00:00:31,235 --> 00:00:35,755
Speaker 1: It ends, it disbands, it is defunded, shut the whole

4
00:00:35,835 --> 00:00:39,155
Speaker 1: government down if necessary. I don't care if they offer

5
00:00:39,275 --> 00:00:42,795
Speaker 1: body cams you cannot turn off. And I don't care

6
00:00:42,795 --> 00:00:45,675
Speaker 1: if they offer un observers on every raid. I want

7
00:00:45,755 --> 00:00:49,115
Speaker 1: ICE gone. I want its gestapo gone. I want its

8
00:00:49,155 --> 00:00:51,595
Speaker 1: headquarters torn to the ground. I want to go there

9
00:00:51,595 --> 00:00:52,675
Speaker 1: in the middle of the night, and I want to

10
00:00:52,675 --> 00:00:55,515
Speaker 1: build a memorial to Renee Good and Alex Pretty and

11
00:00:55,635 --> 00:00:58,795
Speaker 1: Keith Porter Junior and all the others on its ashes.

12
00:01:01,355 --> 00:01:05,435
Speaker 1: The greatest threat to the continuation and the of this

13
00:01:05,595 --> 00:01:11,035
Speaker 1: democracy right now this week is Chuck Schumer. Because Chuck

14
00:01:11,075 --> 00:01:16,235
Speaker 1: Schumer still thinks that somewhere, somehow, like my poor friend

15
00:01:16,315 --> 00:01:20,795
Speaker 1: Joe Biden thought, somewhere, somehow, the government of this country

16
00:01:20,875 --> 00:01:24,435
Speaker 1: was just gonna snap back into its old form, and

17
00:01:24,475 --> 00:01:26,675
Speaker 1: he could trade a little of this for a little

18
00:01:26,675 --> 00:01:29,235
Speaker 1: of that, and it would never be perfect. But we

19
00:01:29,475 --> 00:01:32,955
Speaker 1: just keep chugging along until the next Senate recess and

20
00:01:33,035 --> 00:01:36,875
Speaker 1: the next trip to the Hamptons, and Chuck Schumer is

21
00:01:37,035 --> 00:01:41,475
Speaker 1: still the guy who will hear de escalation and investigation

22
00:01:41,755 --> 00:01:45,395
Speaker 1: and reset, and he will make the unforced, tragic, and

23
00:01:45,515 --> 00:01:49,195
Speaker 1: fatal error of assuming that the people saying those words

24
00:01:49,355 --> 00:01:57,915
Speaker 1: are not goddamned liars. Democrats elected democrats, elected Democrats who

25
00:01:57,955 --> 00:02:00,715
Speaker 1: have been there for more than ten years all still

26
00:02:00,835 --> 00:02:05,235
Speaker 1: want it to just go back to normal, as if

27
00:02:05,235 --> 00:02:07,795
Speaker 1: the only people who could possibly make anything like that

28
00:02:07,915 --> 00:02:12,035
Speaker 1: happen were still operating with the slightest glimmer of good faith,

29
00:02:12,395 --> 00:02:14,875
Speaker 1: the good faith and trust that kept this country's form

30
00:02:14,915 --> 00:02:17,715
Speaker 1: of government alive for two hundred and thirty nine years

31
00:02:17,835 --> 00:02:21,715
Speaker 1: until Donald Trump started strangling it to death in twenty fifteen.

32
00:02:24,035 --> 00:02:30,195
Speaker 1: They are not. There are no good faith Republicans. There

33
00:02:30,275 --> 00:02:35,915
Speaker 1: is no maga to trust. There is no de escalation,

34
00:02:36,435 --> 00:02:40,115
Speaker 1: there is no investigation, there is no reset, and there

35
00:02:40,195 --> 00:02:46,075
Speaker 1: now must be no deal, no deal on ICE the

36
00:02:46,235 --> 00:02:55,915
Speaker 1: art of the no deal. There still is no pivot.

37
00:02:56,675 --> 00:03:02,395
Speaker 1: Trump threatened Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry and the Constitution again yesterday.

38
00:03:03,955 --> 00:03:07,355
Speaker 1: ICE and Patrol have just established a base at the

39
00:03:07,515 --> 00:03:10,635
Speaker 1: Army Reserve Center at Fort Snelling, down the street from

40
00:03:10,675 --> 00:03:15,275
Speaker 1: the Minneapolis Saint Paul Airport. Someone in Trump's invasion force

41
00:03:15,315 --> 00:03:18,875
Speaker 1: in Minnesota leaked to memo to Ken Klippenstein from late Monday,

42
00:03:19,115 --> 00:03:23,475
Speaker 1: reading that the deployment quote is steady state and expected

43
00:03:23,515 --> 00:03:29,155
Speaker 1: to continue as planned. They continue to threaten people filming them.

44
00:03:29,435 --> 00:03:32,275
Speaker 1: They continue to threaten them with arrest, even though it

45
00:03:32,355 --> 00:03:36,315
Speaker 1: is entirely legal to film them in Maine. They went

46
00:03:36,355 --> 00:03:38,515
Speaker 1: to the homes of people who have been filming them

47
00:03:38,595 --> 00:03:43,075
Speaker 1: from a distance. The only investigation remains focused on what

48
00:03:43,275 --> 00:03:46,835
Speaker 1: laws they can pretend that Alex Pretty broke and what

49
00:03:46,995 --> 00:03:50,315
Speaker 1: groups Renee Good and her wife were associated with, and

50
00:03:50,395 --> 00:03:53,195
Speaker 1: they might they might expand it to see if the

51
00:03:53,315 --> 00:03:59,435
Speaker 1: agents violated protocol when they murdered them, and that might

52
00:03:59,515 --> 00:04:02,435
Speaker 1: resolve in them being severely punished for the rest of

53
00:04:02,475 --> 00:04:06,715
Speaker 1: their lives by being forced to take several days off

54
00:04:07,955 --> 00:04:14,755
Speaker 1: with pay on administrative leave, which is where they put them. Finally, yesterday,

55
00:04:15,395 --> 00:04:19,675
Speaker 1: there is no reform, there is no regret. There is

56
00:04:19,715 --> 00:04:23,235
Speaker 1: no deal to make with these scumbags. The only thing

57
00:04:23,355 --> 00:04:27,315
Speaker 1: Trump wants is better public relations and more money for

58
00:04:27,435 --> 00:04:30,475
Speaker 1: Ice and for this to all go away. And the

59
00:04:30,515 --> 00:04:33,515
Speaker 1: only thing a deal by Schumer and Senate Democrats can

60
00:04:33,555 --> 00:04:36,635
Speaker 1: create is better public relations for Trump and more money

61
00:04:36,635 --> 00:04:38,595
Speaker 1: for Ice, and for all of this to go away,

62
00:04:39,515 --> 00:04:46,675
Speaker 1: no deal, no Ice. Moreover, the Trump administration is in

63
00:04:46,755 --> 00:04:52,475
Speaker 1: its greatest crisis yet, and for once, the Democrats cannot

64
00:04:52,595 --> 00:04:59,075
Speaker 1: give them a lifeline. Trump has reignited Iran to distract

65
00:04:59,075 --> 00:05:02,195
Speaker 1: from Ice, just as he reignited Ice to distract from Epstein,

66
00:05:02,555 --> 00:05:05,755
Speaker 1: just as he reignited Epstein to distract from Venezuela, just

67
00:05:05,795 --> 00:05:09,195
Speaker 1: as he reignited Venezuela to distract from Epstein and Ice.

68
00:05:10,595 --> 00:05:13,875
Speaker 1: They threw the Ice murderer and his accomplices on administrative

69
00:05:13,955 --> 00:05:16,675
Speaker 1: leave yesterday. They threw them under the bus, and they're

70
00:05:16,675 --> 00:05:18,675
Speaker 1: going to try to do not another damn thing. But

71
00:05:18,755 --> 00:05:21,475
Speaker 1: they did throw them under the bus. And Trump is

72
00:05:21,475 --> 00:05:24,155
Speaker 1: now running out of distractions and he can only get

73
00:05:24,195 --> 00:05:28,395
Speaker 1: new ones if Chuck Schumer gives them to him. Because

74
00:05:28,435 --> 00:05:32,195
Speaker 1: the Trump field marshals and the Trump commandants are this

75
00:05:32,395 --> 00:05:36,675
Speaker 1: close to staging a night of the Long Knives, they

76
00:05:36,715 --> 00:05:40,835
Speaker 1: are out to get each other. They threw Bovino under

77
00:05:40,835 --> 00:05:45,355
Speaker 1: the bus Tuesday. Thankfully he was short enough to roll

78
00:05:45,435 --> 00:05:49,275
Speaker 1: right under it. No damaged. Then Boveno or somebody threw

79
00:05:49,355 --> 00:05:52,555
Speaker 1: Nome under the bus, thankfully, what with all the plastic

80
00:05:52,675 --> 00:05:57,075
Speaker 1: she just bounced. Then Nome threw Stephen Miller under the bus.

81
00:05:57,875 --> 00:06:01,195
Speaker 1: He's not carbon based. He never noticed. Then Miller threw

82
00:06:01,275 --> 00:06:04,235
Speaker 1: Customs and Border Patrol under the bus. Then Trump threw

83
00:06:04,275 --> 00:06:07,795
Speaker 1: his Second Amendment people under the bus. Then Roger Stone

84
00:06:07,835 --> 00:06:11,435
Speaker 1: threw Cory Lewandowski under the bus and said Nome quote

85
00:06:11,515 --> 00:06:16,835
Speaker 1: is so busy taking bribes through Lewandowski, She'll never notice. Now.

86
00:06:17,355 --> 00:06:21,435
Speaker 1: The under Secretary of Hair Extensions at Homeland Security, Tricia

87
00:06:21,555 --> 00:06:25,275
Speaker 1: McLaughlin through the troops on the ground under the bus,

88
00:06:27,515 --> 00:06:31,195
Speaker 1: calling Alex Pretty an assassin, insisting that he went there

89
00:06:31,195 --> 00:06:35,515
Speaker 1: to quote massacre law enforcement, actually saying the man they

90
00:06:35,515 --> 00:06:39,635
Speaker 1: had just murdered had committed an active domestic terrorism, insisting

91
00:06:39,715 --> 00:06:46,035
Speaker 1: Pretty went there to assassinate agents. Nome told someone who

92
00:06:46,075 --> 00:06:50,395
Speaker 1: told Axios, probably on her instructions, quote everything I've done,

93
00:06:50,755 --> 00:06:54,075
Speaker 1: I've done at the direction of the President and Stephen

94
00:06:56,875 --> 00:06:59,635
Speaker 1: Miller then told the media on the record any early

95
00:06:59,715 --> 00:07:02,155
Speaker 1: comments made were based on information sent to the White

96
00:07:02,195 --> 00:07:07,955
Speaker 1: House through Customs and Border Patrol. A part of the

97
00:07:07,995 --> 00:07:13,475
Speaker 1: Maga Wall of bullshit is caving in on itself. For

98
00:07:13,475 --> 00:07:18,955
Speaker 1: God's sakes, let it cave. They are not only fighting

99
00:07:18,955 --> 00:07:21,715
Speaker 1: with each other, they are fighting with their entire understanding

100
00:07:21,795 --> 00:07:26,235
Speaker 1: of the fictional world Trump has fabricated for them. Suddenly,

101
00:07:26,315 --> 00:07:32,075
Speaker 1: Trump and his ice devils are the ones threatening MAGA guns,

102
00:07:32,155 --> 00:07:36,275
Speaker 1: threatening to kill MAGA if they bring guns to a

103
00:07:36,395 --> 00:07:42,595
Speaker 1: protest protests like at the Michigan Capitol or Black Lives

104
00:07:42,635 --> 00:07:47,235
Speaker 1: Matter with the fat Family from Saint Louis or January sixth,

105
00:07:49,595 --> 00:07:52,715
Speaker 1: and it's still deeper than that. I gotta be honest

106
00:07:52,755 --> 00:07:55,435
Speaker 1: with you, said Senator Tammy Duckworth of Illinois. When I

107
00:07:55,475 --> 00:07:58,035
Speaker 1: talked to a few of my colleagues, they had not

108
00:07:58,155 --> 00:08:01,635
Speaker 1: even seen the videos. It's almost like they put blinders on.

109
00:08:02,235 --> 00:08:07,195
Speaker 1: They're uneasy. Unquote damn right, they're uneasy. And it's exactly

110
00:08:07,275 --> 00:08:10,395
Speaker 1: like they put blinders on because they've seen the videos

111
00:08:10,435 --> 00:08:13,475
Speaker 1: now and the videos alone were enough to put a

112
00:08:13,555 --> 00:08:19,515
Speaker 1: hole a mile wide through MAGA fantasyland. They didn't look

113
00:08:19,595 --> 00:08:23,715
Speaker 1: at the videos of the paramilitary street execution of Alex Pretty.

114
00:08:24,035 --> 00:08:27,155
Speaker 1: They never look at the videos. They never look at

115
00:08:27,195 --> 00:08:31,035
Speaker 1: Trump's posts, they never listen to his threats. When they

116
00:08:31,075 --> 00:08:33,955
Speaker 1: say they haven't seen it, they haven't read it, they

117
00:08:34,035 --> 00:08:36,555
Speaker 1: haven't heard it. That is the only time they are

118
00:08:36,595 --> 00:08:43,635
Speaker 1: not lying. They do this to avoid any responsibility, any

119
00:08:44,155 --> 00:08:48,955
Speaker 1: internal understanding. They do it so they can sell the

120
00:08:49,115 --> 00:08:55,595
Speaker 1: Sergeant Schultz bullshit. I know nothing, and it's easier to

121
00:08:55,795 --> 00:09:00,755
Speaker 1: know nothing when you've seen nothing. They knew in their

122
00:09:00,875 --> 00:09:04,355
Speaker 1: heart because Trump told them this world he has created

123
00:09:04,475 --> 00:09:07,475
Speaker 1: is real and not simply a scam he is pulling

124
00:09:07,515 --> 00:09:11,835
Speaker 1: on them. They knew in their heart that anybody shot

125
00:09:12,315 --> 00:09:16,555
Speaker 1: by proxy, by extension by Trump, that person had to

126
00:09:16,595 --> 00:09:22,355
Speaker 1: be the guilty one. Not your noble Ice agents selected

127
00:09:22,355 --> 00:09:29,155
Speaker 1: from the cream of law enforcement and militia and proud boys.

128
00:09:31,235 --> 00:09:34,355
Speaker 1: But the idea that they are noble and anyone who

129
00:09:34,395 --> 00:09:37,475
Speaker 1: attacks them must be a terrorist. That is the core

130
00:09:37,675 --> 00:09:41,555
Speaker 1: of the Trump world of lies. The lies not to

131
00:09:41,595 --> 00:09:45,235
Speaker 1: the public, not to other people, the lies these people

132
00:09:45,675 --> 00:09:53,395
Speaker 1: give to themselves, what Christy Nome tells herself, That is

133
00:09:53,395 --> 00:09:56,955
Speaker 1: the essence of the cult. Why do you need to

134
00:09:56,995 --> 00:10:00,635
Speaker 1: look at the video when you already know that they

135
00:10:00,675 --> 00:10:07,195
Speaker 1: are automatically guilty and we are automatically innocent. The Magas

136
00:10:07,355 --> 00:10:11,555
Speaker 1: have been thrown under the bus by reality, and Chuck

137
00:10:11,595 --> 00:10:20,755
Speaker 1: Schumer's only job right now is to rent more goddamned buses. Chuck,

138
00:10:20,795 --> 00:10:22,315
Speaker 1: you want to make a deal in which ICE is

139
00:10:22,355 --> 00:10:25,075
Speaker 1: shut down and replaced by something else that actually does

140
00:10:25,795 --> 00:10:34,475
Speaker 1: immigration control intelligently, efficiently, humanely under bipartisan supervision. Make that deal,

141
00:10:34,555 --> 00:10:37,955
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer. You can even bargain your way back to

142
00:10:38,955 --> 00:10:44,915
Speaker 1: reforming ICE. Because even the in house terrified anti liberal

143
00:10:45,035 --> 00:10:49,915
Speaker 1: Democratic Searchlight Institute sent a polling memo to Democratic senators

144
00:10:49,955 --> 00:10:53,915
Speaker 1: yesterday and it's about Ice. And it's a poll of

145
00:10:53,915 --> 00:10:56,595
Speaker 1: people who will be voting in the midterms just nine

146
00:10:56,635 --> 00:10:59,315
Speaker 1: months plus from now, and fifty eight percent of those

147
00:10:59,395 --> 00:11:03,355
Speaker 1: voters oppose what Trump's Ice is doing. Now, these aren't

148
00:11:03,355 --> 00:11:09,435
Speaker 1: the Democratic voters, or this is bipartisan fifty eight percent

149
00:11:10,195 --> 00:11:16,075
Speaker 1: and rising seventy percent. Bipartisan. Start with hating the simple

150
00:11:16,115 --> 00:11:20,355
Speaker 1: fact that Ice is not clearly wearing uniforms. We're deep

151
00:11:20,395 --> 00:11:23,955
Speaker 1: in the woods on training and body cams and lethal force,

152
00:11:24,035 --> 00:11:27,195
Speaker 1: and the voters are starting at the essence, at the

153
00:11:27,275 --> 00:11:30,755
Speaker 1: visceral with the fundamental rule that if the guy is

154
00:11:30,835 --> 00:11:33,835
Speaker 1: carrying a weapon and he comes up to you and

155
00:11:33,875 --> 00:11:37,355
Speaker 1: he's not wearing a law enforcement uniform, why in the

156
00:11:37,395 --> 00:11:39,875
Speaker 1: hell is it up to you to know he's a

157
00:11:39,915 --> 00:11:46,795
Speaker 1: cop and not a kidnapper. The same poll detaining US

158
00:11:46,875 --> 00:11:50,675
Speaker 1: citizens by ICE, just detaining them, not just murdering them,

159
00:11:50,755 --> 00:11:55,915
Speaker 1: just detaining them has seventy three percent opposition bipartisan three quarters.

160
00:11:59,755 --> 00:12:02,715
Speaker 1: This newest memo that they have created giving Ice cover

161
00:12:02,835 --> 00:12:07,595
Speaker 1: to break into homes without warrant opposed by seventy nine

162
00:12:07,635 --> 00:12:17,195
Speaker 1: percent of all voters, seventy nine Democrats, Republicans, lunatics, fascists, unwashed, unloved, uneducated,

163
00:12:17,595 --> 00:12:21,915
Speaker 1: seventy nine percent. The proverbial eighty twenty issue and here

164
00:12:21,955 --> 00:12:26,395
Speaker 1: it is and noo. There are Democrats willing to cut

165
00:12:26,395 --> 00:12:29,995
Speaker 1: a deal because it's no longer gestapo fascist bully Greg

166
00:12:30,035 --> 00:12:35,875
Speaker 1: Bovino in charge. It's Gestapo fascist bully Tom Homan in charge.

167
00:12:35,955 --> 00:12:38,355
Speaker 1: There are Democrats willing to make a deal to fund

168
00:12:38,675 --> 00:12:45,355
Speaker 1: because bodycams. And I will repeat my observation from Monday, Wow,

169
00:12:45,475 --> 00:12:48,715
Speaker 1: bodycams because the thought that the next time they kill

170
00:12:48,915 --> 00:12:52,395
Speaker 1: some unarmed or disarmed American citizen, there might be video

171
00:12:52,515 --> 00:12:56,475
Speaker 1: of it. That sure held Ice back from murdering Alex pretty.

172
00:12:57,195 --> 00:13:03,115
Speaker 1: It sure held Ice back from murdering Renee Good. Bodycams.

173
00:13:04,875 --> 00:13:09,075
Speaker 1: Searchlight Institute memo to Schumer and the others concluded Democrats

174
00:13:09,115 --> 00:13:15,395
Speaker 1: should quote play hardball on the shutdown because of Ice.

175
00:13:16,035 --> 00:13:22,955
Speaker 1: Play hardball, huh, And it said they should use their quote,

176
00:13:23,195 --> 00:13:29,315
Speaker 1: leverage to reform ICE. This is the dead center of

177
00:13:29,355 --> 00:13:34,315
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. Play hardball, leverage to reform ICE. And

178
00:13:34,355 --> 00:13:37,555
Speaker 1: the author adds, voters want ICE to follow the law.

179
00:13:37,595 --> 00:13:40,595
Speaker 1: There is a desire for immigration enforcement that is lawful,

180
00:13:40,795 --> 00:13:43,915
Speaker 1: reasonable and effective. And the author of this was a

181
00:13:43,955 --> 00:13:47,835
Speaker 1: top aid to Harry Reid and more recently he was

182
00:13:47,995 --> 00:13:52,315
Speaker 1: just chief of staff to John fing Fetterman. This is

183
00:13:52,355 --> 00:13:56,875
Speaker 1: not Zoran Mamdani saying play hardball on the shutdown over ICE.

184
00:13:57,035 --> 00:14:00,995
Speaker 1: This is not me saying this. This is John Fetterman's

185
00:14:01,075 --> 00:14:06,275
Speaker 1: chief of staff saying this. The memo doesn't even completely

186
00:14:06,315 --> 00:14:10,875
Speaker 1: wave Schumer off from the abolish ICE or disband ICE

187
00:14:11,355 --> 00:14:16,155
Speaker 1: or defund ICE catch phrase. It suggests voters respond slightly

188
00:14:16,195 --> 00:14:20,155
Speaker 1: better to reform ICE, but even that's almost a push.

189
00:14:20,635 --> 00:14:25,235
Speaker 1: Abolish gets nineteen percent support and reform thirty percent support.

190
00:14:26,315 --> 00:14:32,755
Speaker 1: The bottom line is the Democrats somehow own the issue

191
00:14:32,955 --> 00:14:38,155
Speaker 1: of immigration, and the fascists are wounded, and they are

192
00:14:38,195 --> 00:14:44,475
Speaker 1: responding with panic and by damaging themselves, and most importantly,

193
00:14:44,515 --> 00:14:48,595
Speaker 1: the ones on the fringes are doubting the whole thing.

194
00:14:50,035 --> 00:14:53,515
Speaker 1: This is the time not to compromise, but to get

195
00:14:53,555 --> 00:15:00,035
Speaker 1: aggressive any deal, and there has to be somebody at

196
00:15:00,035 --> 00:15:03,555
Speaker 1: the borders. But any deal should start with changing the

197
00:15:03,635 --> 00:15:07,915
Speaker 1: damn name and establishing bipartisan control and instituting a full

198
00:15:08,035 --> 00:15:11,995
Speaker 1: investigative process for any injuries inflicted by Ice, And that

199
00:15:12,115 --> 00:15:15,275
Speaker 1: starts with murder charges against the Ice scum who killed

200
00:15:15,275 --> 00:15:19,795
Speaker 1: Renee Good and Alex Pretty and establishing windows in which

201
00:15:19,835 --> 00:15:23,315
Speaker 1: no Ice or ICE successor, or Border patrol or National

202
00:15:23,355 --> 00:15:28,155
Speaker 1: Guard or Trump Nazis can be dispatched to any American city.

203
00:15:28,435 --> 00:15:32,715
Speaker 1: No Ice near polling places, no ICE in American cities

204
00:15:32,755 --> 00:15:36,715
Speaker 1: in the week of any election. No troops on the

205
00:15:36,755 --> 00:15:43,915
Speaker 1: streets at the elections. Former Washington Governor Jay Insley underscored

206
00:15:43,955 --> 00:15:47,275
Speaker 1: this yesterday. The Senate, he wrote, needs to prohibit Trump

207
00:15:47,355 --> 00:15:51,875
Speaker 1: from using Ice as a voter suppression tool. Senate Dems

208
00:15:51,875 --> 00:15:55,595
Speaker 1: need to put into their Appropriations bill a prohibition on

209
00:15:55,755 --> 00:16:00,195
Speaker 1: ICE agents being near polling places. This is a must have,

210
00:16:02,035 --> 00:16:07,835
Speaker 1: Insley concludes ominously, but with complete justification, quote last chance

211
00:16:08,435 --> 00:16:15,675
Speaker 1: to do this, and that's it. Isn't it last chance

212
00:16:15,715 --> 00:16:20,235
Speaker 1: to do this? Because if it's not done now, there

213
00:16:20,235 --> 00:16:26,435
Speaker 1: will be troops with masks standing outside every polling place

214
00:16:26,715 --> 00:16:30,795
Speaker 1: in every democratic city, in every up for grabs election

215
00:16:30,955 --> 00:16:37,355
Speaker 1: venue this November. What we saw in Minneapolis the last

216
00:16:37,395 --> 00:16:45,355
Speaker 1: three weeks has been practice for the midterms. After the

217
00:16:45,435 --> 00:16:49,355
Speaker 1: murder of Alex Predy, the Democrats grew a pair in

218
00:16:49,395 --> 00:16:51,515
Speaker 1: the Senate. It looks like just the one pair, and

219
00:16:51,515 --> 00:16:56,075
Speaker 1: they just share it and at least it's there. Then

220
00:16:56,675 --> 00:17:02,315
Speaker 1: Gnoame and Miller and Trump cracked over. Just bad press.

221
00:17:02,835 --> 00:17:05,715
Speaker 1: They didn't head an iceberg, and they hit an ice

222
00:17:05,835 --> 00:17:12,635
Speaker 1: cube and sunk. They are down on the canvas and

223
00:17:12,675 --> 00:17:16,355
Speaker 1: looking to quit. Do not help them up. Hit them harder,

224
00:17:16,755 --> 00:17:20,995
Speaker 1: no deal, You lean completely into those guns sound bites.

225
00:17:23,195 --> 00:17:26,515
Speaker 1: Take ads in red states. Donald Trump wants to take

226
00:17:26,555 --> 00:17:29,155
Speaker 1: your guns away. Play the tape of him saying it,

227
00:17:29,355 --> 00:17:35,315
Speaker 1: no guns, you can't bring guns. This means you Red States.

228
00:17:37,515 --> 00:17:40,715
Speaker 1: That's one two back in the Senate, you get everything,

229
00:17:41,035 --> 00:17:46,435
Speaker 1: or you shut the government down. When you back up

230
00:17:48,035 --> 00:17:51,635
Speaker 1: six months from now, back up half a step, and

231
00:17:51,675 --> 00:17:56,715
Speaker 1: you give them phrases. All right, we won't defund or

232
00:17:56,795 --> 00:18:02,315
Speaker 1: disband ICE. We will reform it. Literally, reform start from

233
00:18:02,315 --> 00:18:11,195
Speaker 1: the beginning. Form it a new new image, control enterprise. Nice. Nice,

234
00:18:11,395 --> 00:18:14,515
Speaker 1: that's it. Trump wants more than that. Okay, here's more.

235
00:18:14,835 --> 00:18:19,755
Speaker 1: Government shuts down and seventy percent of Americans still oppose

236
00:18:19,835 --> 00:18:22,915
Speaker 1: him at his gestapo and that's all anybody's talking about,

237
00:18:23,075 --> 00:18:25,395
Speaker 1: because that is the cause of the shutdown. Those are

238
00:18:25,435 --> 00:18:30,875
Speaker 1: your choices. Donald. You have thirty five seconds and call

239
00:18:31,075 --> 00:18:35,715
Speaker 1: them what they are. We have the words, we have

240
00:18:35,835 --> 00:18:43,515
Speaker 1: the evidence. Embrace the language. He had a book of

241
00:18:43,595 --> 00:18:49,155
Speaker 1: Hitler's speeches, according to his first wife, on his bedside

242
00:18:49,275 --> 00:18:56,995
Speaker 1: table in the eighties. Embrace the language. Stephen Miller on

243
00:18:57,115 --> 00:19:00,675
Speaker 1: a good day is a fascist and a white supremacist

244
00:19:01,115 --> 00:19:05,875
Speaker 1: and a lunatic. Call him that. Haul him that on

245
00:19:05,955 --> 00:19:11,595
Speaker 1: the floor of the Senate. The White House is desperate

246
00:19:11,675 --> 00:19:13,955
Speaker 1: enough that they tried to take the strong but entirely

247
00:19:13,955 --> 00:19:17,115
Speaker 1: correct warning from the District Attorney of Philadelphia, Larry Krasner

248
00:19:17,275 --> 00:19:20,635
Speaker 1: and turn it into martyrdom for Ice. How dare you

249
00:19:20,715 --> 00:19:23,715
Speaker 1: call us Nazis? How dare you say DA's and Attorneys

250
00:19:23,715 --> 00:19:26,355
Speaker 1: general are going to prosecute us? How dare you threaten

251
00:19:26,395 --> 00:19:29,355
Speaker 1: to expose the identity of ice thugs? If not now,

252
00:19:29,395 --> 00:19:33,555
Speaker 1: then later, like like the whole world did with the

253
00:19:33,595 --> 00:19:37,675
Speaker 1: original Nazis in the seventy years after we destroyed your

254
00:19:37,715 --> 00:19:43,675
Speaker 1: predecessors in World War Two. Oh no, Larry Krasner called

255
00:19:43,795 --> 00:19:49,395
Speaker 1: ice Nazis. You know why, because they're fucking Nazis.

256
00:19:50,075 --> 00:19:53,995
Speaker 2: This is a small bunch of wanna be Nazis, that's

257
00:19:53,995 --> 00:19:57,395
Speaker 2: what they are. In a country of three hundred and

258
00:19:57,435 --> 00:20:03,595
Speaker 2: fifty million, we outnumber them.

259
00:20:03,635 --> 00:20:04,475
Speaker 1: And as long as we.

260
00:20:04,435 --> 00:20:09,115
Speaker 2: Stay to our values, protect our rights, make it very

261
00:20:09,155 --> 00:20:12,035
Speaker 2: clear that homicide is not okay just because you are

262
00:20:12,555 --> 00:20:16,195
Speaker 2: a federal officer. If we do that, this will end differently.

263
00:20:16,235 --> 00:20:19,315
Speaker 2: I have one final promise to you, and that is

264
00:20:19,835 --> 00:20:23,835
Speaker 2: that I, along with a bunch of other state prosecutors,

265
00:20:23,915 --> 00:20:24,715
Speaker 2: keep your eye on this.

266
00:20:24,955 --> 00:20:26,475
Speaker 1: You'll be hearing more about it tomorrow.

267
00:20:26,875 --> 00:20:29,955
Speaker 2: But I, along with a bunch of other state prosecutors,

268
00:20:30,435 --> 00:20:35,235
Speaker 2: are rallying around Mary Moriarty, who is the prosecutor in Minneapolis.

269
00:20:35,275 --> 00:20:37,315
Speaker 2: I know for a fact she is working twenty four

270
00:20:37,355 --> 00:20:40,555
Speaker 2: to seven to make sure that there is justice coming

271
00:20:40,635 --> 00:20:44,115
Speaker 2: out of what appeared to be by all indications, criminal

272
00:20:44,115 --> 00:20:47,515
Speaker 2: homicides and what appears to be by all indications and

273
00:20:47,595 --> 00:20:51,915
Speaker 2: criminal shooting of someone in the leg I want you

274
00:20:51,955 --> 00:20:54,715
Speaker 2: to understand that just as you have come together, there

275
00:20:54,715 --> 00:20:58,875
Speaker 2: are state prosecutors coming together right now to make sure

276
00:20:58,995 --> 00:21:02,395
Speaker 2: that people understand there will be accountability there will be

277
00:21:02,435 --> 00:21:06,795
Speaker 2: accountability now. There will be accountability in the future. There

278
00:21:06,835 --> 00:21:12,075
Speaker 2: will be accountability after Trump is out of office.

279
00:21:14,955 --> 00:21:18,875
Speaker 3: If we have to hunt you down the way they

280
00:21:18,995 --> 00:21:24,715
Speaker 3: hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities,

281
00:21:24,955 --> 00:21:27,235
Speaker 3: We will find you We will.

282
00:21:27,075 --> 00:21:30,635
Speaker 2: Achieve justice, and we will do so under the Constitution and.

283
00:21:30,595 --> 00:21:37,515
Speaker 1: The laws of the United States. Hunt down was too strong, Find, unmask, reveal, prosecute.

284
00:21:37,835 --> 00:21:41,715
Speaker 1: Those are fine saying hunt down again to a bunch

285
00:21:41,715 --> 00:21:43,795
Speaker 1: of people who suddenly think Donald Trump is going to

286
00:21:43,795 --> 00:21:47,795
Speaker 1: take away their guns a little strong. I don't think

287
00:21:47,795 --> 00:21:51,315
Speaker 1: you have to fix it, just skip it. But make

288
00:21:51,355 --> 00:21:55,635
Speaker 1: the ads. Let the Republicans run against the Second Amendment.

289
00:21:56,475 --> 00:21:58,915
Speaker 1: Let them have to deny every day until November that

290
00:21:58,955 --> 00:22:01,955
Speaker 1: they are Nazis because they have nothing to prove that with.

291
00:22:03,395 --> 00:22:05,755
Speaker 1: And by the way, do not demand and Christy Nomes

292
00:22:05,795 --> 00:22:09,635
Speaker 1: firing while she is still trying to get Stephen Miller fired.

293
00:22:10,835 --> 00:22:14,675
Speaker 1: Wait till one of them wins, then fire the survivor,

294
00:22:16,035 --> 00:22:20,115
Speaker 1: and most importantly, give them nothing, not a dollar until

295
00:22:20,115 --> 00:22:24,675
Speaker 1: you get full control of Trump's internal anti democracy election

296
00:22:24,875 --> 00:22:28,515
Speaker 1: fiction death squads. And you twist, and you turn the

297
00:22:28,715 --> 00:22:34,155
Speaker 1: entire stinking, sinking, futured apparatus around and you point it

298
00:22:34,275 --> 00:22:38,275
Speaker 1: back on itself, and this nightmare begins to end because

299
00:22:38,675 --> 00:22:42,035
Speaker 1: the moral corruption that is at the center of Ice

300
00:22:42,875 --> 00:23:14,035
Speaker 1: will then destroy the center of Trump's presidency. By the way,

301
00:23:14,115 --> 00:23:18,035
Speaker 1: Trump is out of his mind. Not my words, for

302
00:23:18,075 --> 00:23:23,395
Speaker 1: once out of his mind. That's Robert Fitzso, the Prime

303
00:23:23,395 --> 00:23:28,515
Speaker 1: Minister of Slovakia, as quoted by five different European diplomats

304
00:23:28,875 --> 00:23:33,475
Speaker 1: themselves quoted by Politico Europe. Let me quote the report

305
00:23:33,595 --> 00:23:38,195
Speaker 1: precisely quote. Slovakia's prime minister told EU leaders at a

306
00:23:38,195 --> 00:23:40,915
Speaker 1: summit last week that a meeting with Donald Trump left

307
00:23:40,995 --> 00:23:45,155
Speaker 1: him shocked by the US president's state of mind. Five

308
00:23:45,235 --> 00:23:49,115
Speaker 1: European diplomats briefed on the conversation said Fitzso seemed to

309
00:23:49,155 --> 00:23:52,835
Speaker 1: be quote traumatized by his encounter with Trump. One of

310
00:23:52,875 --> 00:23:57,115
Speaker 1: the European diplomats said Fiso characterized Trump as being quote

311
00:23:57,315 --> 00:24:01,635
Speaker 1: out of his mind. A diplomat said, using the words

312
00:24:01,675 --> 00:24:05,315
Speaker 1: briefed to them by their leader, who was direct involved

313
00:24:05,355 --> 00:24:14,235
Speaker 1: in the conversation, unquote Robert Fiso, a Trump supporter, Prime

314
00:24:14,235 --> 00:24:17,715
Speaker 1: Minister of Slovakia. Slovakia, ain't Ukraine. This guy has actually

315
00:24:17,755 --> 00:24:23,675
Speaker 1: addressed seapack. Fiso immediately called it all lies. Of course

316
00:24:23,715 --> 00:24:26,715
Speaker 1: he did addressed seapack. The White House called it lies.

317
00:24:28,035 --> 00:24:32,435
Speaker 1: Politico has quotes from five diplomats, five diplomats from four

318
00:24:32,555 --> 00:24:35,595
Speaker 1: different European nations, and the fifth is from the EU

319
00:24:35,835 --> 00:24:39,995
Speaker 1: organization itself. Five people briefed by those who were there

320
00:24:40,235 --> 00:24:43,395
Speaker 1: at this informal huddle part of the emergency EU summit

321
00:24:43,475 --> 00:24:47,995
Speaker 1: a week ago about Trump's threat to seize Greenland. That's

322
00:24:48,035 --> 00:24:51,835
Speaker 1: where Fizo recounted meeting Trump at Mari Lago on the seventeenth,

323
00:24:51,915 --> 00:24:56,115
Speaker 1: when Fizo decided Trump was quote out of his mind.

324
00:24:57,635 --> 00:25:01,035
Speaker 1: Fizo called him dangerous, said he was concerned about Trump's

325
00:25:01,075 --> 00:25:05,715
Speaker 1: quote psychological state, and then the money quote out of

326
00:25:05,755 --> 00:25:12,675
Speaker 1: his m word. Now, why would he ever think that?

327
00:25:16,355 --> 00:25:19,075
Speaker 1: Because Tuesday, Trump again said it was so sad that

328
00:25:19,155 --> 00:25:22,635
Speaker 1: Ice killed Renee Good because her family were such Trump fans.

329
00:25:23,875 --> 00:25:26,875
Speaker 1: Because he cannot avoid praising himself. Trump cannot risk the

330
00:25:26,955 --> 00:25:30,395
Speaker 1: chance that somebody complimented him and you don't know it,

331
00:25:32,115 --> 00:25:36,435
Speaker 1: or maybe Fizzo read New York Magazine in the long

332
00:25:36,475 --> 00:25:39,675
Speaker 1: and rather underwhelming takeout on Trump's health, underwhelming till the

333
00:25:39,715 --> 00:25:42,795
Speaker 1: author got to the billion dollar question about whatever it

334
00:25:42,875 --> 00:25:46,715
Speaker 1: is that is at this moment melting Trump's brain, and

335
00:25:46,835 --> 00:25:50,435
Speaker 1: he neatly tied it into Trump's obsession with bloodlines and

336
00:25:50,515 --> 00:25:53,875
Speaker 1: his nonsense about his uncle discovering the unibomber, and how

337
00:25:53,915 --> 00:25:56,675
Speaker 1: smart Trump has to be because he has good genes,

338
00:25:57,395 --> 00:26:00,555
Speaker 1: and the fact that Trump always leaves out what killed

339
00:26:00,595 --> 00:26:06,675
Speaker 1: his own father. Ben Terris, the author, finished the Superhuman President,

340
00:26:07,275 --> 00:26:10,515
Speaker 1: and yes, countless maga do not realize the title is

341
00:26:10,555 --> 00:26:13,515
Speaker 1: meant ironically and as a dig at the idiot who

342
00:26:13,515 --> 00:26:18,795
Speaker 1: suggested calling it that, the idiot being Stephen Miller. Terris

343
00:26:18,875 --> 00:26:22,635
Speaker 1: finished it with this, I'll quote again. Fred Trump died

344
00:26:22,675 --> 00:26:25,395
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety nine at age ninety three. He had,

345
00:26:25,435 --> 00:26:29,475
Speaker 1: Trump said, a heart that couldn't be stopped, with almost

346
00:26:29,475 --> 00:26:32,355
Speaker 1: no health conditions to speak of throughout his long life. Quote,

347
00:26:32,435 --> 00:26:35,275
Speaker 1: he had one problem, Trump said, at a certain age,

348
00:26:35,275 --> 00:26:40,435
Speaker 1: about eighty six eighty seven, he started getting what do

349
00:26:40,515 --> 00:26:45,075
Speaker 1: they call it? He pointed to his forehead and looked

350
00:26:45,075 --> 00:26:51,595
Speaker 1: to his press secretary for the word that escaped him, Alzheimer's.

351
00:26:51,875 --> 00:26:56,075
Speaker 1: Caroline Levitt said, like an Alzheimer's thing. Trump said, well,

352
00:26:56,115 --> 00:26:59,515
Speaker 1: I don't have it. Is it something you think about

353
00:26:59,555 --> 00:27:02,795
Speaker 1: at all? I asked, No, I don't think about it

354
00:27:02,875 --> 00:27:06,355
Speaker 1: at all. You know why, he said, because whatever it is,

355
00:27:06,955 --> 00:27:19,195
Speaker 1: my attitude is whatever. Uh oh, So Trump couldn't remember

356
00:27:19,235 --> 00:27:23,555
Speaker 1: the word for the brain disintegration that took his own father.

357
00:27:24,555 --> 00:27:27,755
Speaker 1: Then he looked at Caroline Levitt and pointed to his

358
00:27:27,795 --> 00:27:36,515
Speaker 1: own forehead, and she immediately said Alzheimer's because every Trump

359
00:27:36,675 --> 00:27:44,875
Speaker 1: accusation is a confession. Also of interest, here, you heard

360
00:27:44,875 --> 00:27:51,715
Speaker 1: Bruce Springsteen's instant protest song. You didn't, Streets of Minneapolis.

361
00:27:53,275 --> 00:28:00,035
Speaker 1: It's it's it's pretty good, it's pretty direct. He pulls

362
00:28:00,115 --> 00:28:06,195
Speaker 1: no punches. I got chills three different times, old fashioned

363
00:28:06,515 --> 00:28:12,795
Speaker 1: political protest chills. But you haven't heard it. Well, okay,

364
00:28:15,355 --> 00:28:19,075
Speaker 1: with I'm honored to say Bruce Springsteen's permission. Here it

365
00:28:19,195 --> 00:28:28,755
Speaker 1: is Streets of Minneapolis, through the winters, ass and cold.

366
00:28:29,395 --> 00:28:33,115
Speaker 4: Down the gleneaven.

367
00:28:33,795 --> 00:28:39,995
Speaker 5: A city of flame, fought fire and dice. The then occupiers,

368
00:28:40,315 --> 00:28:47,675
Speaker 5: boots King Trump's private army from the DHS, gun's belted

369
00:28:48,195 --> 00:28:54,395
Speaker 5: to the coats, came to minnieaf Bliss to enforce.

370
00:28:53,995 --> 00:28:59,235
Speaker 4: The lawn or so. Their story coast.

371
00:28:59,715 --> 00:29:11,875
Speaker 6: Against smoking rubber foods in Down's early light, citizens stood fortstice.

372
00:29:12,515 --> 00:29:17,835
Speaker 6: Their voice is ringing through the night, and if the

373
00:29:17,995 --> 00:29:27,035
Speaker 6: world bloody footprints where mercy should have stood, and to dead,

374
00:29:27,235 --> 00:29:32,515
Speaker 6: left to die on Snowfield Street, Alex pretty dry named.

375
00:29:34,675 --> 00:29:42,115
Speaker 4: Over reatlace, here your voice saying through the bloody miss

376
00:29:43,555 --> 00:29:48,835
Speaker 4: we'll take our stand for this land and the strange

377
00:29:49,675 --> 00:29:56,635
Speaker 4: out miss hearing our home they killed and long in

378
00:29:56,795 --> 00:29:59,875
Speaker 4: the winder twenty SATs.

379
00:30:00,755 --> 00:30:05,075
Speaker 7: Will remember the names of those who died on the

380
00:30:05,115 --> 00:30:16,795
Speaker 7: streets of Miniapenist trumps fooled Berg's Peter, the bone, his.

381
00:30:17,195 --> 00:30:19,715
Speaker 4: Face and his chest.

382
00:30:20,955 --> 00:30:26,515
Speaker 5: Then we heard the gun shots, and Alex readily in

383
00:30:26,635 --> 00:30:33,555
Speaker 5: the snow did their claimed silt de fancier. You just

384
00:30:33,835 --> 00:30:36,435
Speaker 5: don't be leave your flies.

385
00:30:37,715 --> 00:30:39,755
Speaker 4: It's our grand bones.

386
00:30:39,875 --> 00:30:45,475
Speaker 6: And these whistles and phones against Miller and norms, dirty laughs.

387
00:30:47,995 --> 00:30:56,235
Speaker 4: Less hear your vois cries l miss for a number

388
00:30:56,275 --> 00:31:03,035
Speaker 4: of names of those who die on the streets of Minias.

389
00:31:21,315 --> 00:31:25,075
Speaker 5: Now they say they're here to a poll the law,

390
00:31:25,835 --> 00:31:29,195
Speaker 5: but they trample along our rights.

391
00:31:30,315 --> 00:31:34,515
Speaker 6: If your skin is black or brown, my friend, you

392
00:31:34,675 --> 00:31:40,035
Speaker 6: can be questioned or to put it on side.

393
00:31:39,595 --> 00:31:42,275
Speaker 7: In our chance of nice side.

394
00:31:43,115 --> 00:31:49,795
Speaker 6: Our city's hard as soul persist soon brooking glass and

395
00:31:50,195 --> 00:31:52,955
Speaker 6: bloody tears on the streets.

396
00:31:52,475 --> 00:31:56,075
Speaker 1: Of many ass.

397
00:31:57,715 --> 00:32:02,555
Speaker 4: Less side here your face saying it. There's a lot

398
00:32:02,835 --> 00:32:06,715
Speaker 4: of missed you all.

399
00:32:07,115 --> 00:32:12,875
Speaker 5: They killed a Rond in the middle of twenty seas.

400
00:32:14,035 --> 00:32:19,195
Speaker 4: Would say, I stand for this lane on the strange

401
00:32:19,595 --> 00:32:25,835
Speaker 4: jo of miss remember the name the person.

402
00:32:25,675 --> 00:32:27,995
Speaker 6: Devil on the streets.

403
00:32:27,475 --> 00:32:36,035
Speaker 4: Of media happiness, will remember the names as one streets

404
00:32:36,075 --> 00:32:38,515
Speaker 4: of happy.

405
00:32:58,475 --> 00:33:23,555
Speaker 1: This is Countdown with Keith Olberman still ahead on this

406
00:33:23,715 --> 00:33:27,435
Speaker 1: edition of Countdown. Not the last time somebody I worked

407
00:33:27,435 --> 00:33:32,595
Speaker 1: with would threaten to kill me in the studio, but

408
00:33:33,195 --> 00:33:37,315
Speaker 1: the first time, and then an hour later he came

409
00:33:37,395 --> 00:33:40,995
Speaker 1: back and said he wanted to hire me. The story

410
00:33:41,035 --> 00:33:44,955
Speaker 1: of the morning radio legend who was no longer remembering

411
00:33:45,075 --> 00:33:50,235
Speaker 1: anything like what had happened an hour before. Ted Brown,

412
00:33:50,355 --> 00:33:55,915
Speaker 1: You're a morning man plus bonus coverage me on the

413
00:33:55,955 --> 00:33:59,435
Speaker 1: air at WNW Radio in New York in the Year

414
00:33:59,475 --> 00:34:04,195
Speaker 1: of Our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty. Next in Things

415
00:34:04,235 --> 00:34:07,435
Speaker 1: I Promise not to tell first, Believe it or not,

416
00:34:07,475 --> 00:34:10,155
Speaker 1: there's still more new idiots to talk about. The roundup

417
00:34:10,155 --> 00:34:13,475
Speaker 1: of the misgrants, morons and Dunning Kruger effects specimens who

418
00:34:13,515 --> 00:34:20,795
Speaker 1: constitute today's other worst persons in the world. The Bronze

419
00:34:21,075 --> 00:34:32,395
Speaker 1: Worse batcha Unger's Sargun Batcha as in batshit crazy, one

420
00:34:32,475 --> 00:34:35,035
Speaker 1: of the people on the train wreck they put on

421
00:34:35,035 --> 00:34:38,955
Speaker 1: on CNN every night nine o'clock. I guess no one

422
00:34:38,995 --> 00:34:42,235
Speaker 1: actually watches this show, but the volume of viral clips

423
00:34:42,315 --> 00:34:45,155
Speaker 1: is high, which is what CNN is apparently in the

424
00:34:45,195 --> 00:34:48,315
Speaker 1: business of. Now we don't want you to watch the shows.

425
00:34:48,675 --> 00:34:52,835
Speaker 1: We want you to watch these clips on social media

426
00:34:53,515 --> 00:34:58,075
Speaker 1: because we make no dollars for this. But we're all

427
00:34:58,115 --> 00:35:01,275
Speaker 1: convinced this is sustainable long term. So let's put this

428
00:35:01,435 --> 00:35:06,995
Speaker 1: show on that boosts everybody's blood pressure and makes them

429
00:35:07,235 --> 00:35:12,035
Speaker 1: enraged at these simpletons like Scott Jennings and the other guys,

430
00:35:12,035 --> 00:35:14,915
Speaker 1: all of whom look like something happened and there was

431
00:35:14,955 --> 00:35:17,995
Speaker 1: an accident where they got their heads caught in bus

432
00:35:18,075 --> 00:35:21,995
Speaker 1: doors and squeezed. Funny, funniest looking people I've ever seen

433
00:35:22,035 --> 00:35:25,635
Speaker 1: in the world. Are the conservatives on that Abby Phillips

434
00:35:25,675 --> 00:35:29,875
Speaker 1: show on CNN. Anyway, She's one of them, bat Ya

435
00:35:30,075 --> 00:35:37,235
Speaker 1: Unger Sargan Alex Pretty, she said, was obviously not murdered.

436
00:35:37,795 --> 00:35:45,115
Speaker 1: He was in a scrum that ended in a bad shoot.

437
00:35:45,955 --> 00:35:50,755
Speaker 1: Scrum bad shoot, like this was a hockey broadcast. Oh,

438
00:35:50,795 --> 00:35:53,635
Speaker 1: he's in a scrum. No, a scrum is where a

439
00:35:53,675 --> 00:35:57,675
Speaker 1: couple of players, maybe three, maybe four, usually two get

440
00:35:57,755 --> 00:36:00,635
Speaker 1: kind of tangled up and one of them winds up

441
00:36:00,915 --> 00:36:06,075
Speaker 1: going to the penalty box for two minutes in feeling shame. No,

442
00:36:06,155 --> 00:36:08,755
Speaker 1: he wasn't in a scrum. They murdered him. He's dead.

443
00:36:09,355 --> 00:36:13,515
Speaker 1: And if that scrum reference from bat Ya Unger Sargon

444
00:36:15,195 --> 00:36:19,515
Speaker 1: was not bad enough, it ended in a bad shoot,

445
00:36:19,635 --> 00:36:22,715
Speaker 1: which either sounds like a movie gone wrong or another

446
00:36:22,755 --> 00:36:27,315
Speaker 1: hockey term. There is an AI hockey ad, an ad

447
00:36:27,755 --> 00:36:30,355
Speaker 1: about AI and how it's going to change your life,

448
00:36:30,355 --> 00:36:33,635
Speaker 1: and all the people questioning the AI expert are players

449
00:36:33,675 --> 00:36:36,355
Speaker 1: in the National Hockey League, and the last one is

450
00:36:36,395 --> 00:36:41,875
Speaker 1: a fellow named McAvoy from the Boston Bruins, who, after

451
00:36:41,915 --> 00:36:45,515
Speaker 1: these serious questions, shouts, hey, AI guy, how's it doing

452
00:36:45,555 --> 00:36:48,155
Speaker 1: a scrum? And the AI guy goes, what's a scrum?

453
00:36:48,555 --> 00:36:51,035
Speaker 1: And everybody makes fun of the AI guy, and some

454
00:36:51,155 --> 00:36:53,835
Speaker 1: of them make fun of McAvoy. But the thing runs

455
00:36:53,875 --> 00:36:57,275
Speaker 1: on hockey broadcasts usually three or four times a minute,

456
00:36:58,675 --> 00:37:03,035
Speaker 1: and evidently bat Ya Unger Sargan saw it because she

457
00:37:03,155 --> 00:37:08,035
Speaker 1: decided essentially to to characterize one of the can the

458
00:37:08,195 --> 00:37:12,835
Speaker 1: Kent State incidents of our times as a scrum that

459
00:37:13,035 --> 00:37:17,275
Speaker 1: ended in a bad shoot. If you can't get enough

460
00:37:17,315 --> 00:37:21,435
Speaker 1: of bat Ya Unger Sargun and her complete inability to

461
00:37:21,515 --> 00:37:24,995
Speaker 1: understand that that was a real person murdered by the government,

462
00:37:26,435 --> 00:37:30,115
Speaker 1: murdered by the government. If you're not getting enough of her,

463
00:37:30,475 --> 00:37:32,875
Speaker 1: she has her own show on the weekends on the

464
00:37:32,955 --> 00:37:36,755
Speaker 1: Trojan Horse Network. You may know it as News Nation,

465
00:37:36,955 --> 00:37:40,275
Speaker 1: but in fact it's the Trojan Horse Network. They claim

466
00:37:40,715 --> 00:37:44,555
Speaker 1: it's a neutral network, when in fact it's just more

467
00:37:44,995 --> 00:37:49,195
Speaker 1: effing fascism on TV. And also, I'd need to say

468
00:37:49,235 --> 00:37:51,275
Speaker 1: this because for some reason I haven't mentioned it in

469
00:37:51,275 --> 00:37:55,155
Speaker 1: the many years that I have criticized News Nation. What

470
00:37:55,195 --> 00:38:00,795
Speaker 1: the hell kind of name is news Nation? News I

471
00:38:00,795 --> 00:38:08,315
Speaker 1: mean Red Sox Nation, Music Nation. We get it. News

472
00:38:08,475 --> 00:38:17,115
Speaker 1: Nation The runner up Silver Worser Milania, the star of

473
00:38:17,275 --> 00:38:22,235
Speaker 1: perhaps the greatest box office disaster in motion pictures since

474
00:38:23,115 --> 00:38:27,275
Speaker 1: what is that Chris Kristofferson film, Heaven's Gate. It actually

475
00:38:27,315 --> 00:38:31,155
Speaker 1: is better than anybody ever thought it was, but that's

476
00:38:31,155 --> 00:38:32,915
Speaker 1: not the way it was perceived at the time, and

477
00:38:32,955 --> 00:38:38,675
Speaker 1: nobody went Plenty of good seats available for Milania the documentary,

478
00:38:39,915 --> 00:38:45,835
Speaker 1: possibly because whoever writes her tweets for her is dumber

479
00:38:45,875 --> 00:38:49,195
Speaker 1: than she is, and she is. If you had to

480
00:38:49,195 --> 00:38:53,315
Speaker 1: pick the dumbest person associated with the president and you

481
00:38:53,395 --> 00:38:58,795
Speaker 1: picked her, it's a dark horse pick. But she might

482
00:38:58,835 --> 00:39:01,235
Speaker 1: be the dumbest. She certainly might be the winner of

483
00:39:01,235 --> 00:39:05,475
Speaker 1: the Dunning Krueger competition inside the Trump family because she

484
00:39:05,675 --> 00:39:08,115
Speaker 1: thinks she is a complete genius and the rest of

485
00:39:08,195 --> 00:39:12,955
Speaker 1: us are just mice. I'll read you the tweet you

486
00:39:12,955 --> 00:39:16,235
Speaker 1: see when you hear something wrong. Milanna the film a

487
00:39:16,475 --> 00:39:22,955
Speaker 1: historic moment. I don't mean in terms of evaluative nature.

488
00:39:23,595 --> 00:39:28,035
Speaker 1: I mean an actual typo Milania the film a historic moment. Well,

489
00:39:28,035 --> 00:39:31,515
Speaker 1: it is a historic moment. It's going to make people go,

490
00:39:32,115 --> 00:39:34,875
Speaker 1: let's go watch Heaven's Gate. It can't possibly be as

491
00:39:34,955 --> 00:39:40,155
Speaker 1: bad as Milagna. I am deeply humbled to have been

492
00:39:40,195 --> 00:39:46,235
Speaker 1: surrounded by an inspiring room of friends, family, and ready

493
00:39:46,955 --> 00:39:54,315
Speaker 1: cultural iconoclasts at the White House last night. No, No,

494
00:39:54,355 --> 00:40:01,595
Speaker 1: you meant you meant icon cultural iconoclasts. Getting back to

495
00:40:01,595 --> 00:40:04,555
Speaker 1: the subject of AI, it sounds like her AI was

496
00:40:04,835 --> 00:40:09,275
Speaker 1: a scrum when it decided to write iconoclasts. There are

497
00:40:09,315 --> 00:40:12,755
Speaker 1: no iconoclasts at the White House because the Trump administration

498
00:40:13,075 --> 00:40:18,715
Speaker 1: shoots iconoclasts. But wait, there's more from Milania. Each of

499
00:40:18,795 --> 00:40:22,395
Speaker 1: these individuals each brought their unique vision to the world,

500
00:40:22,755 --> 00:40:28,355
Speaker 1: making a lasting impression. How many each is go, you're

501
00:40:28,355 --> 00:40:34,155
Speaker 1: gonna need here resting each face. But your Winner, and

502
00:40:34,195 --> 00:40:36,035
Speaker 1: I'd like to point out I think this is the

503
00:40:36,075 --> 00:40:39,155
Speaker 1: first time the worst persons in the world have all

504
00:40:39,195 --> 00:40:44,675
Speaker 1: been women. Oh no, there was that time I did

505
00:40:44,755 --> 00:40:48,795
Speaker 1: all my exes. That was two shows ago. Keith Your Winner,

506
00:40:49,515 --> 00:40:57,115
Speaker 1: Katie Miller, Steven's wife, the relationship that makes Trump and

507
00:40:57,195 --> 00:41:02,955
Speaker 1: Millenia seem normal. Steven and Katie Miller the people who

508
00:41:02,995 --> 00:41:08,595
Speaker 1: make Jeff Bezos and my former colleague Lauren Sanchez seem

509
00:41:09,635 --> 00:41:15,235
Speaker 1: non plastic. And speaking of that joke, I just did

510
00:41:15,475 --> 00:41:19,315
Speaker 1: Katie Miller, the woman with the resting kvetch face looks

511
00:41:19,355 --> 00:41:22,915
Speaker 1: like she just chugged an entire carton of sour milk

512
00:41:23,555 --> 00:41:27,915
Speaker 1: and then went back and had another one. Conservative women,

513
00:41:28,595 --> 00:41:32,675
Speaker 1: she writes, are just factually more attractive than liberal women.

514
00:41:33,115 --> 00:41:38,715
Speaker 1: It's why more conservatives than liberals are having babies. I'm

515
00:41:38,715 --> 00:41:42,435
Speaker 1: not going to evaluate this assessment by Katie Miller. I'm

516
00:41:42,475 --> 00:41:46,555
Speaker 1: just going to say we need to establish a gofund

517
00:41:46,595 --> 00:41:52,835
Speaker 1: me to buy Katie Miller, Today's Worst Person in the World,

518
00:41:54,195 --> 00:42:19,675
Speaker 1: A mirror, I'm Dave Spencer, WNWWS and now WNAW Sports

519
00:42:19,715 --> 00:42:23,395
Speaker 1: and Commentary with John Kenner and Good.

520
00:42:23,195 --> 00:42:25,675
Speaker 8: Morning Keith Olberman for Big John Sports is brought to

521
00:42:25,675 --> 00:42:28,395
Speaker 8: you by Amtrak America is getting into training with Metro

522
00:42:28,475 --> 00:42:32,275
Speaker 8: Ironers service thirteen times every business day to Philadelphia. They

523
00:42:32,355 --> 00:42:34,795
Speaker 8: run from Penn Station And if you were there last night,

524
00:42:34,835 --> 00:42:38,115
Speaker 8: you probably heard some noise from upstairs. It was Ranger

525
00:42:38,195 --> 00:42:39,755
Speaker 8: fans celebrating the new year.

526
00:42:39,915 --> 00:42:45,355
Speaker 1: A little bit. This remains, in short, as terrifying as

527
00:42:45,515 --> 00:42:50,315
Speaker 1: anything else in my career, death threats, fake anthrax, What

528
00:42:50,515 --> 00:42:53,835
Speaker 1: New York felt like post nine to eleven, the frozen

529
00:42:53,955 --> 00:42:56,955
Speaker 1: feeling of realizing you've made a terrible, damaging mistake on

530
00:42:56,995 --> 00:43:01,115
Speaker 1: a story, even working for Rupert Murdoch. Worse than that.

531
00:43:02,795 --> 00:43:06,275
Speaker 1: Forty two years have passed since the event, and nothing

532
00:43:06,315 --> 00:43:09,955
Speaker 1: has dimmed the memory, nothing has reduced the palpable sense

533
00:43:09,995 --> 00:43:14,875
Speaker 1: of anxiety in every joint in my body. On Sunday,

534
00:43:14,915 --> 00:43:19,235
Speaker 1: December twenty first, nineteen eighty, the Oakland Raiders defeated the

535
00:43:19,235 --> 00:43:21,675
Speaker 1: New York Giants thirty three to seventeen to end the

536
00:43:21,755 --> 00:43:24,995
Speaker 1: Giant season at four wins and twelve losses, with the

537
00:43:25,035 --> 00:43:27,755
Speaker 1: most points they had given up in one year. Since

538
00:43:27,835 --> 00:43:32,475
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty six, I was the backup sportscaster at w

539
00:43:32,635 --> 00:43:36,635
Speaker 1: NEW Radio in New York. We carried the Giants game broadcast.

540
00:43:37,315 --> 00:43:39,755
Speaker 1: In fact, we had carried them since I was two

541
00:43:39,875 --> 00:43:42,715
Speaker 1: years old. I was now a month shy of twenty two,

542
00:43:43,275 --> 00:43:46,035
Speaker 1: and it being Christmas week, I reported bright and early

543
00:43:46,075 --> 00:43:48,915
Speaker 1: to the studios at forty first Street and Third Avenue

544
00:43:49,035 --> 00:43:52,595
Speaker 1: on Monday, December twenty second. My first sports cast was

545
00:43:52,635 --> 00:43:56,755
Speaker 1: at five thirty am. There was a theme song which

546
00:43:56,795 --> 00:43:59,955
Speaker 1: invoked the name of the regular sportscaster, John Kennelly. It

547
00:44:00,035 --> 00:44:03,435
Speaker 1: said sports and commentary, And my first few weeks filling

548
00:44:03,515 --> 00:44:05,475
Speaker 1: in that year, I stuck mostly to the sports, with

549
00:44:05,635 --> 00:44:09,595
Speaker 1: just an occasional commentary, but mostly a joke or pithy observation.

550
00:44:10,915 --> 00:44:13,675
Speaker 1: Well kind of pithy. But that first weekend of winter,

551
00:44:13,755 --> 00:44:16,835
Speaker 1: the giant stink was all that we could smell in

552
00:44:16,915 --> 00:44:18,875
Speaker 1: New York, and I felt I had to point it out,

553
00:44:19,435 --> 00:44:22,715
Speaker 1: pointed Lee. And so while I observed that there was

554
00:44:22,755 --> 00:44:24,955
Speaker 1: a positive they had started one in eight, but then

555
00:44:24,995 --> 00:44:27,715
Speaker 1: had actually won three of their last seven games. The

556
00:44:27,715 --> 00:44:32,555
Speaker 1: rest of my commentary was cynical, acerbic, dissatisfied. In other words,

557
00:44:32,955 --> 00:44:35,515
Speaker 1: the average day of the typical New York sports fan.

558
00:44:36,635 --> 00:44:38,835
Speaker 1: I ended my show right on time at five thirty

559
00:44:38,835 --> 00:44:41,595
Speaker 1: five AM, and to my surprise, I heard the disc

560
00:44:41,675 --> 00:44:46,355
Speaker 1: jockey skip his usual post sportscast remarks and instead simply

561
00:44:46,355 --> 00:44:48,795
Speaker 1: play the next record, which I think was Frank Sinatra's

562
00:44:48,955 --> 00:44:52,475
Speaker 1: The Way You Look Tonight. We were a big band station.

563
00:44:53,475 --> 00:44:55,435
Speaker 1: I stepped out of the booth and took the dozen

564
00:44:55,595 --> 00:44:58,195
Speaker 1: strides through the newsroom, busy even at that hour, with

565
00:44:58,235 --> 00:45:00,555
Speaker 1: eight or ten staffers, and I was sitting down at

566
00:45:00,635 --> 00:45:03,835
Speaker 1: my desk when the door from the main air studio

567
00:45:04,075 --> 00:45:07,755
Speaker 1: slammed open. In the doorway stood the disc jockey, and

568
00:45:07,835 --> 00:45:11,435
Speaker 1: he had a message for me. The message was you punk.

569
00:45:13,195 --> 00:45:16,315
Speaker 1: The disc jockey's name was Ted Brown. On the air,

570
00:45:16,355 --> 00:45:20,755
Speaker 1: he was your morning man, Ted Brown, speaking upbeat drivel,

571
00:45:21,035 --> 00:45:24,515
Speaker 1: mostly to women who loved the mellow sound of his voice.

572
00:45:24,515 --> 00:45:28,635
Speaker 1: Off the air, WNIW was his station and the morning

573
00:45:28,635 --> 00:45:32,515
Speaker 1: show was his show. He would fight for it. In fact,

574
00:45:32,595 --> 00:45:35,515
Speaker 1: he had fought at least two news reporters in his

575
00:45:35,595 --> 00:45:39,315
Speaker 1: time in the studio. While Frank Sinatra records played on

576
00:45:39,355 --> 00:45:43,075
Speaker 1: a turntable thirty feet away. Ted Brown was a big man, six'
