1
00:00:04,795 --> 00:00:15,555
Speaker 1: Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. This

2
00:00:15,755 --> 00:00:18,995
Speaker 1: is a Countdown bulletin podcast. And the Appeals Court for

3
00:00:19,035 --> 00:00:22,155
Speaker 1: the District of Columbia has actually stayed for at least

4
00:00:22,155 --> 00:00:26,115
Speaker 1: two weeks Judge Tanya Chutkins gag order on Trump, and

5
00:00:26,155 --> 00:00:30,515
Speaker 1: this is absolute bullshit. And the members of the three

6
00:00:30,595 --> 00:00:34,115
Speaker 1: judge panel consisting of two judges appointed by Obama and

7
00:00:34,155 --> 00:00:38,595
Speaker 1: one appointed by Biden should be impeached and disbarred because

8
00:00:38,635 --> 00:00:42,235
Speaker 1: they actually fell in a time of crisis, not just

9
00:00:42,315 --> 00:00:45,515
Speaker 1: for a pathetically weak First Amendment excuse, but for a

10
00:00:45,595 --> 00:00:50,315
Speaker 1: series of arguments based on the delusions of grandeur megalomaniacal

11
00:00:50,435 --> 00:00:54,355
Speaker 1: premise that this madman Trump believes one hundred million Americans

12
00:00:54,355 --> 00:00:58,195
Speaker 1: are somehow being deprived of their right to hear him

13
00:00:58,275 --> 00:01:01,595
Speaker 1: speak because a judge had ruled no, Trump was not

14
00:01:01,675 --> 00:01:04,635
Speaker 1: allowed to threaten the judge, and threaten the court official,

15
00:01:04,955 --> 00:01:07,715
Speaker 1: and threaten the prosecutors, and no, he was not allowed

16
00:01:07,755 --> 00:01:10,915
Speaker 1: to try to convince his cultists to try to kill

17
00:01:10,995 --> 00:01:14,995
Speaker 1: them on his behalf. He had already been given by

18
00:01:14,995 --> 00:01:17,915
Speaker 1: the judge who issued the gag order, and has received

19
00:01:17,995 --> 00:01:21,555
Speaker 1: the death threats the right to continue his insane claim

20
00:01:21,795 --> 00:01:25,635
Speaker 1: that the prosecution of his attempt to overthrow the government

21
00:01:25,675 --> 00:01:29,035
Speaker 1: to the United States and foment violent revolution in this

22
00:01:29,155 --> 00:01:33,235
Speaker 1: country and install an authoritarian regime with him as its

23
00:01:33,275 --> 00:01:36,675
Speaker 1: permanent dictator, that that was no crime, that was actually

24
00:01:36,795 --> 00:01:40,635
Speaker 1: a political vendetta personally ordered by the President of the

25
00:01:40,755 --> 00:01:44,395
Speaker 1: United States. All Judge Chutkin wanted to stop was the

26
00:01:44,475 --> 00:01:48,475
Speaker 1: continued attempt by Trump to use the social media site

27
00:01:48,555 --> 00:01:52,995
Speaker 1: he owns and the propaganda video networks that make their

28
00:01:53,115 --> 00:01:57,155
Speaker 1: only money by platforming him and the fascist rallies he

29
00:01:57,275 --> 00:02:01,315
Speaker 1: stages to say it in just the right way, to

30
00:02:01,395 --> 00:02:05,155
Speaker 1: get somebody to kill Special Counsel Jacksmith and to killed

31
00:02:05,195 --> 00:02:08,075
Speaker 1: Judge Tanya Chutkin, and to call in bomb threats to

32
00:02:08,115 --> 00:02:11,195
Speaker 1: the courtroom, and to dox the jurors the way Trump

33
00:02:11,235 --> 00:02:14,195
Speaker 1: got hundreds of his cultists to attack the Capitol on

34
00:02:14,275 --> 00:02:17,435
Speaker 1: January sixth, and the way he docksed Obama and one

35
00:02:17,435 --> 00:02:20,915
Speaker 1: of his cultists then went to Obama's neighborhood and hunted him,

36
00:02:21,275 --> 00:02:24,235
Speaker 1: with the ultimate goal of all of this being obvious

37
00:02:24,555 --> 00:02:30,435
Speaker 1: and evil, to institutionalize political violence and turn it into

38
00:02:30,555 --> 00:02:33,915
Speaker 1: the determined de factor in how this country is not

39
00:02:34,075 --> 00:02:38,955
Speaker 1: governed but ruled and how it would be ruled by him.

40
00:02:39,515 --> 00:02:45,275
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is a terrorist, a terrorist, and he has

41
00:02:45,315 --> 00:02:49,395
Speaker 1: been using terrorism by proxy to destroy the laws and

42
00:02:49,595 --> 00:02:53,595
Speaker 1: rules and norms of this country without interruption by the

43
00:02:53,675 --> 00:02:57,675
Speaker 1: law or by the courts for fully eight years. And

44
00:02:57,835 --> 00:03:00,995
Speaker 1: when the justice system finally stands up on its feet

45
00:03:01,235 --> 00:03:04,075
Speaker 1: and the courts finally stand up on their feet and

46
00:03:04,315 --> 00:03:08,155
Speaker 1: all recognize that after all of our other institutions have

47
00:03:08,475 --> 00:03:11,915
Speaker 1: utterly failed, and all of our leaders have failed to

48
00:03:11,955 --> 00:03:15,675
Speaker 1: protect this nation against domestic terrorism in the form of

49
00:03:15,755 --> 00:03:20,475
Speaker 1: Trump and his family and his enablers, when somebody finally

50
00:03:20,835 --> 00:03:25,515
Speaker 1: begins to do something about it, these assholes on the

51
00:03:25,595 --> 00:03:30,475
Speaker 1: DC Appeals Court say, well, no, maybe the legal system

52
00:03:30,475 --> 00:03:34,235
Speaker 1: of this country has been bending over backwards to protect

53
00:03:34,275 --> 00:03:36,955
Speaker 1: the rights of this man who would destroy it and

54
00:03:37,115 --> 00:03:40,715
Speaker 1: kill anybody in it he doesn't like. But we don't

55
00:03:40,755 --> 00:03:44,435
Speaker 1: see that in bending over backwards, the legal system of

56
00:03:44,515 --> 00:03:47,875
Speaker 1: this country has yet severed its own spine. So we're

57
00:03:47,875 --> 00:03:52,435
Speaker 1: going to grant an administrative stay until at least November

58
00:03:52,475 --> 00:03:56,795
Speaker 1: twentieth to prove that we are great legal scholars, and

59
00:03:56,915 --> 00:04:00,835
Speaker 1: we are fair, and we are true judges, and we

60
00:04:00,955 --> 00:04:05,635
Speaker 1: are giving Trump every opportunity to get Jack Smith killed

61
00:04:06,115 --> 00:04:09,795
Speaker 1: or to get Merrick Garland's home bombed. And why, yes,

62
00:04:10,035 --> 00:04:12,675
Speaker 1: you're right. If there had been some sort of legal

63
00:04:12,755 --> 00:04:15,555
Speaker 1: case against Osama bin Laden before us in the summer

64
00:04:15,595 --> 00:04:18,195
Speaker 1: of two thousand and one, we would have delayed the

65
00:04:18,235 --> 00:04:21,915
Speaker 1: injunction against him for two weeks. Because it's far more

66
00:04:21,955 --> 00:04:25,915
Speaker 1: important to give people bent on destroying the United States

67
00:04:26,435 --> 00:04:30,235
Speaker 1: every last ounce of their rights than it is to

68
00:04:30,355 --> 00:04:33,955
Speaker 1: protect the laws of this country, or the judges of

69
00:04:33,995 --> 00:04:38,035
Speaker 1: this country, or the representative form of government of this country,

70
00:04:38,315 --> 00:04:43,715
Speaker 1: or the citizens of this country. And if this were

71
00:04:43,755 --> 00:04:48,635
Speaker 1: not on its face infuriating enough, Trump gets at least

72
00:04:49,155 --> 00:04:55,995
Speaker 1: seventeen more days to resume his stochastic attempts to terrorize

73
00:04:56,075 --> 00:05:01,875
Speaker 1: Smith and Garland and Chutkin and Biden and democracy and

74
00:05:02,035 --> 00:05:08,715
Speaker 1: you and me. This ruling was made by Judge Patricia Molett,

75
00:05:09,195 --> 00:05:14,355
Speaker 1: appointed by Barack Obama, and Judge Cornelia Pillard appointed by

76
00:05:14,355 --> 00:05:18,635
Speaker 1: Barack Obama, and Judge Bradley Garcia, appointed by Joe Biden.

77
00:05:19,355 --> 00:05:23,835
Speaker 1: And the only explanation they offered for this atrocity of

78
00:05:23,915 --> 00:05:28,675
Speaker 1: a ruling is quote, the purpose of this administrative stay

79
00:05:28,955 --> 00:05:32,515
Speaker 1: is to give the court sufficient opportunity to consider the

80
00:05:32,595 --> 00:05:37,035
Speaker 1: emergency motion for a stay pending appeal, and should not

81
00:05:37,115 --> 00:05:41,195
Speaker 1: be construed in any way as a ruling on the

82
00:05:41,275 --> 00:05:46,275
Speaker 1: merits of that motion, which I guess translates as the

83
00:05:46,355 --> 00:05:49,475
Speaker 1: judges will sleep soundly tonight thinking that they have done

84
00:05:49,515 --> 00:05:53,235
Speaker 1: their legal duty, even though these three judges are as

85
00:05:53,315 --> 00:05:58,395
Speaker 1: guilty as every access journalist and every horse race reporter,

86
00:05:58,875 --> 00:06:02,235
Speaker 1: and every other detached figure in the American political media

87
00:06:02,315 --> 00:06:06,235
Speaker 1: industrial complex who is content to live their lives learning

88
00:06:06,435 --> 00:06:10,075
Speaker 1: all the legal words there are without ever once understanding

89
00:06:10,315 --> 00:06:13,195
Speaker 1: the meanings of any of those words, nor the actual

90
00:06:13,275 --> 00:06:16,515
Speaker 1: impact of the rulings. They don't understand that they have

91
00:06:16,635 --> 00:06:21,435
Speaker 1: constructed out of the words. They don't understand these things

92
00:06:21,675 --> 00:06:26,755
Speaker 1: have real life consequences, and these judges don't give a

93
00:06:26,875 --> 00:06:32,795
Speaker 1: damn about that. We must never live in a country

94
00:06:32,995 --> 00:06:37,395
Speaker 1: in which the only answer is the ends justify the means.

95
00:06:38,435 --> 00:06:41,635
Speaker 1: But we are now living in a country in which

96
00:06:41,795 --> 00:06:48,795
Speaker 1: one political party does live that saying, while the other

97
00:06:48,955 --> 00:06:53,315
Speaker 1: political party and almost all of the legal structure of

98
00:06:53,355 --> 00:06:58,715
Speaker 1: the nation do not, and will not even once or twice.

99
00:06:59,155 --> 00:07:03,715
Speaker 1: There are, in fact occasions in which the ends not

100
00:07:03,755 --> 00:07:07,195
Speaker 1: only justify the means, but in fact, are the only

101
00:07:07,235 --> 00:07:12,035
Speaker 1: things that matter. And if you, or Judge Millet, or

102
00:07:12,155 --> 00:07:15,955
Speaker 1: Judge Pillared or Judge Garcia think that is not true

103
00:07:16,515 --> 00:07:19,115
Speaker 1: or has never been true in the United States of America,

104
00:07:19,235 --> 00:07:21,315
Speaker 1: let me ask you and them to tell me what

105
00:07:21,395 --> 00:07:25,755
Speaker 1: you remember of what you have learned about the Civil War,

106
00:07:26,995 --> 00:07:29,115
Speaker 1: and what you remember of what you have learned about

107
00:07:29,115 --> 00:07:32,435
Speaker 1: the limitation of freedoms during the World Wars, and what

108
00:07:32,515 --> 00:07:35,795
Speaker 1: you have learned about the measures taken in the immediate

109
00:07:35,835 --> 00:07:40,915
Speaker 1: aftermaths of the Kennedy assassination. And nine to eleven generations

110
00:07:40,915 --> 00:07:43,795
Speaker 1: of Americans have proudly stated that this is a country

111
00:07:43,835 --> 00:07:46,875
Speaker 1: of laws and not men, and it is noble, and

112
00:07:46,955 --> 00:07:51,355
Speaker 1: it is inspirational, and it is superb guidance. But it

113
00:07:51,435 --> 00:07:56,035
Speaker 1: has not been it has never been consistently true. There

114
00:07:56,075 --> 00:08:00,395
Speaker 1: are threats to this country so great to the nation,

115
00:08:00,555 --> 00:08:04,355
Speaker 1: to its people, that we have reacted to defend ourselves

116
00:08:04,435 --> 00:08:08,755
Speaker 1: first and cleared up the legal niceties later. And Donald

117
00:08:08,955 --> 00:08:13,955
Speaker 1: Trump is exactly that kind of threat, a clear and

118
00:08:14,115 --> 00:08:21,155
Speaker 1: present danger to everyone in this country. And all I

119
00:08:21,195 --> 00:08:23,915
Speaker 1: am left to believe here is that Judge Millette and

120
00:08:23,995 --> 00:08:29,795
Speaker 1: Judge Pillard and Judge Garcia do not understand this, possibly

121
00:08:29,835 --> 00:08:33,115
Speaker 1: because it has not been their name on a death threat,

122
00:08:33,795 --> 00:08:36,155
Speaker 1: and it has not been their address on a doxing,

123
00:08:36,435 --> 00:08:38,715
Speaker 1: and it has not been their home to which DHS

124
00:08:38,755 --> 00:08:42,235
Speaker 1: goes to make sure it really is fake anthrax this time.

125
00:08:42,395 --> 00:08:44,515
Speaker 1: And let me tell the judges that when it is,

126
00:08:46,195 --> 00:08:48,675
Speaker 1: and judges, you have now painted your own Trump Bull's

127
00:08:48,715 --> 00:08:52,155
Speaker 1: eyes on yourselves by not just addressing this gag order,

128
00:08:52,155 --> 00:08:55,595
Speaker 1: but showing him and his thugs what they will perceive

129
00:08:55,755 --> 00:09:00,475
Speaker 1: only as your weakness. When it is your name and

130
00:09:00,635 --> 00:09:04,635
Speaker 1: your life, you will understand what Judge chutckkn all want

131
00:09:04,675 --> 00:09:08,235
Speaker 1: already knows, and what Jack Smith already knows, and what

132
00:09:08,315 --> 00:09:13,995
Speaker 1: even irrelevancies like I already know that you cannot defend

133
00:09:14,035 --> 00:09:18,675
Speaker 1: yourself and you cannot defend your nation by giving a

134
00:09:18,795 --> 00:09:25,275
Speaker 1: terrorist an extra seventeen days to terrorize everybody. You must

135
00:09:25,355 --> 00:09:30,755
Speaker 1: look at him and respond in rage and use the

136
00:09:30,875 --> 00:09:37,235
Speaker 1: legal system as a staff to strike him down legally.

137
00:09:39,635 --> 00:09:41,915
Speaker 1: Trump is not going to be impressed that you have

138
00:09:41,995 --> 00:09:45,595
Speaker 1: given the defendant the benefit of the doubt here. His

139
00:09:45,715 --> 00:09:48,435
Speaker 1: militias are not going to say, well, look at these

140
00:09:48,515 --> 00:09:53,355
Speaker 1: three judges appointed by Democrats being fair to our cult

141
00:09:53,435 --> 00:10:00,795
Speaker 1: leader bravo. The Trump cultists will now spend, as will Trump,

142
00:10:00,995 --> 00:10:04,875
Speaker 1: the next seventeen days, adding your names to their list

143
00:10:05,395 --> 00:10:09,515
Speaker 1: of who to threaten and bully and smear and abuse.

144
00:10:11,115 --> 00:10:14,355
Speaker 1: And I don't see you getting appropriately angry about it.

145
00:10:15,355 --> 00:10:18,715
Speaker 1: And worst of all, it was within your power to

146
00:10:18,875 --> 00:10:25,075
Speaker 1: do something else here to dismiss this phony, maudlin insane

147
00:10:25,155 --> 00:10:30,195
Speaker 1: appeal outright or if you truly feel the legal structure

148
00:10:30,235 --> 00:10:33,195
Speaker 1: of this country would shatter if you did not give

149
00:10:33,355 --> 00:10:36,715
Speaker 1: terrorism its day in court, you could have ordered a

150
00:10:36,755 --> 00:10:40,475
Speaker 1: hearing on it, not two weeks from Monday, but right now.

151
00:10:40,915 --> 00:10:43,995
Speaker 1: You want us to stay this gag order, Trump, get

152
00:10:44,035 --> 00:10:48,275
Speaker 1: your lawyer's asses, who you will try to avoid paying later,

153
00:10:48,875 --> 00:10:53,435
Speaker 1: get them into our courtroom three hours from now. That

154
00:10:54,555 --> 00:10:56,675
Speaker 1: is the way you balance the letter of the law

155
00:10:56,955 --> 00:11:01,635
Speaker 1: with the threat of imminent terrorism. Judge Millette, Judge Pillard,

156
00:11:01,995 --> 00:11:05,795
Speaker 1: Judge Garcia. And if you really didn't know enough about

157
00:11:05,835 --> 00:11:09,675
Speaker 1: the threat of Trump and his stochastic terrorist gang, you

158
00:11:09,795 --> 00:11:13,315
Speaker 1: could have just asked Judge Arthur Engron in New York

159
00:11:13,995 --> 00:11:17,555
Speaker 1: after weeks of taking the kind of abuse you have

160
00:11:17,835 --> 00:11:21,475
Speaker 1: just invited upon yourselves that you have just enabled on

161
00:11:21,635 --> 00:11:24,635
Speaker 1: all of us. Judge Ngron not only put in a

162
00:11:24,675 --> 00:11:28,595
Speaker 1: gag order against Trump for doxing his court clerk, but

163
00:11:28,755 --> 00:11:33,915
Speaker 1: today Engern expanded the gag order to cover Trump's ambulance

164
00:11:34,035 --> 00:11:37,475
Speaker 1: chasing lawyer mister Kiss Who, mister Kaisse, is the man

165
00:11:37,515 --> 00:11:42,395
Speaker 1: who decided to attempt to distract the media and rather successfully,

166
00:11:43,035 --> 00:11:47,355
Speaker 1: from the seeming obviousness that the Trump boys perjured themselves

167
00:11:47,355 --> 00:11:50,875
Speaker 1: in Engron's courtroom this week. So to distract from that,

168
00:11:51,115 --> 00:11:54,235
Speaker 1: Kai staged this entire side show in which he gave

169
00:11:54,395 --> 00:11:56,915
Speaker 1: En Goron no other choice but to shut down both

170
00:11:56,995 --> 00:12:01,555
Speaker 1: him and Donald Trump. But at least Ngron did something.

171
00:12:02,435 --> 00:12:06,275
Speaker 1: At least he acted on behalf of the United States

172
00:12:06,275 --> 00:12:11,355
Speaker 1: of America. Even the goddamned publishers of Mark Meadow's book

173
00:12:11,715 --> 00:12:19,115
Speaker 1: did something today. They're conservative propagandists at best, they are idiots.

174
00:12:19,435 --> 00:12:22,435
Speaker 1: At worst, they are terrorists. And yet they are so

175
00:12:22,755 --> 00:12:26,315
Speaker 1: pissed off that Meadows wrote that the election was rigged,

176
00:12:26,795 --> 00:12:29,555
Speaker 1: but is now under oath saying it wasn't rigged, that

177
00:12:29,635 --> 00:12:33,435
Speaker 1: they have sued him to get the money back. And

178
00:12:33,555 --> 00:12:38,195
Speaker 1: as venal as they are, the publishers and Meadows alike,

179
00:12:39,315 --> 00:12:42,435
Speaker 1: they did more for America today than the DC Appeals

180
00:12:42,475 --> 00:12:48,235
Speaker 1: Court did because there are supposed to be consequences, because

181
00:12:48,275 --> 00:12:52,115
Speaker 1: there are supposed to be people in charge. At Least

182
00:12:52,115 --> 00:12:56,635
Speaker 1: the publishers didn't sit back and shrug their shoulders and

183
00:12:56,755 --> 00:13:01,875
Speaker 1: say good luck America. At Least Judge Endern didn't file

184
00:13:01,915 --> 00:13:06,395
Speaker 1: a boilerplate licensed to stochastically kill to a madman with

185
00:13:06,435 --> 00:13:10,035
Speaker 1: no more concern for human life than has bubonic plague,

186
00:13:10,315 --> 00:13:13,715
Speaker 1: and then go home for the weekend while Trump dreams

187
00:13:13,795 --> 00:13:17,675
Speaker 1: up his newest rough beast to attack a fellow judge

188
00:13:17,955 --> 00:13:21,475
Speaker 1: and a dogged prosecutor. A rough beast its hour come

189
00:13:21,595 --> 00:13:25,755
Speaker 1: round at last, slouching towards marri Lago to be born.

190
00:13:27,315 --> 00:13:32,315
Speaker 1: Judge Mollett, Judge Pillard, Judge Garcia, your job is to

191
00:13:32,595 --> 00:13:36,355
Speaker 1: use the laws of this nation to kill the rough

192
00:13:36,515 --> 00:13:41,635
Speaker 1: beast in the nest, not to be its midwives. Shame

193
00:13:41,715 --> 00:13:46,555
Speaker 1: on you all. May the democracy survive your stupidity and

194
00:13:46,635 --> 00:13:55,755
Speaker 1: your shortsightedness, and good luck in your next careers. The

195
00:13:55,795 --> 00:13:57,995
Speaker 1: rest of this bullet and edition of the podcast is

196
00:13:58,035 --> 00:14:01,515
Speaker 1: a repeat in its entirety of Friday's regular edition. If

197
00:14:01,595 --> 00:14:03,795
Speaker 1: you have heard that edition already, there is no need

198
00:14:03,835 --> 00:14:06,755
Speaker 1: to do so again, although it does go into considerable

199
00:14:06,755 --> 00:14:09,915
Speaker 1: detail about the Trump appeal of the gag order, most

200
00:14:09,915 --> 00:14:15,515
Speaker 1: of which was just Trump's attorney's Lauren Boberding Trump's ego

201
00:14:15,715 --> 00:14:19,195
Speaker 1: for ten or twelve pages. It was an embarrassing and

202
00:14:19,275 --> 00:14:26,755
Speaker 1: even humiliating argument that these idiot appeals judges unbelievably swallowed

203
00:14:26,875 --> 00:14:42,755
Speaker 1: whole Judgen hits the gas. Judge Enderon hits the roof.

204
00:14:43,075 --> 00:14:46,315
Speaker 1: Judge Cannon does not hit the pause button. But let

205
00:14:46,355 --> 00:14:48,235
Speaker 1: me start at the US Court of Appeals for the

206
00:14:48,275 --> 00:14:51,635
Speaker 1: District of Columbia where dementia jade. Trump's lawyers last night

207
00:14:51,675 --> 00:14:56,715
Speaker 1: filed a thirty five page document, one or two paragraphs

208
00:14:56,755 --> 00:15:00,835
Speaker 1: of which asks that the court barred Judge Tanya Chutkin

209
00:15:00,915 --> 00:15:03,915
Speaker 1: from reinstating the gag order against Trump, the rest of

210
00:15:03,955 --> 00:15:07,635
Speaker 1: which is about how wonderful Trump is and how much

211
00:15:07,635 --> 00:15:10,155
Speaker 1: he leads in the primary polls. And it sounds like

212
00:15:10,195 --> 00:15:12,875
Speaker 1: the dialogue they gave rieda Moreno in the last scene

213
00:15:12,875 --> 00:15:17,315
Speaker 1: of the Jack Nicholson movie Cardinal Knowledge. Fourth paragraph of

214
00:15:17,475 --> 00:15:22,915
Speaker 1: page one of the introduction quote. President Trump's uniquely powerful

215
00:15:22,995 --> 00:15:26,435
Speaker 1: voice has been a fixture of American political discourse for

216
00:15:26,475 --> 00:15:30,755
Speaker 1: eight years and central to the American fabric for decades.

217
00:15:32,635 --> 00:15:37,355
Speaker 1: Now true, like Carl Arms or herpies, Page eleven, item

218
00:15:37,435 --> 00:15:42,115
Speaker 1: four quote, the gag order violates the rights of tens

219
00:15:42,195 --> 00:15:47,315
Speaker 1: of millions of Americans to receive President Trump's speech. A

220
00:15:47,435 --> 00:15:53,275
Speaker 1: restriction on President Trump's speech inflicts a reciprocal injury on

221
00:15:53,315 --> 00:15:57,955
Speaker 1: the rights of over one hundred million Americans who listened

222
00:15:58,035 --> 00:16:01,995
Speaker 1: to him about how big and strong he is and

223
00:16:02,155 --> 00:16:06,115
Speaker 1: is better, more beautiful, more powerful, more perfect, more strong,

224
00:16:06,195 --> 00:16:10,835
Speaker 1: more masculine, more extraordinary, more virile, domineering, more irresistible, and

225
00:16:10,875 --> 00:16:16,435
Speaker 1: more up in the air. I added a little something

226
00:16:16,475 --> 00:16:20,395
Speaker 1: to that at the end. Now as to the actual

227
00:16:20,435 --> 00:16:23,395
Speaker 1: election subversion trial, or any sense that any of the

228
00:16:23,395 --> 00:16:26,835
Speaker 1: many delaying tactics of Dementia Jay's legal team, or their

229
00:16:26,835 --> 00:16:30,155
Speaker 1: big motion to dismiss the whole case because it's unfair

230
00:16:30,235 --> 00:16:36,115
Speaker 1: to charge a criminal with crimes, your honor, that any

231
00:16:36,155 --> 00:16:38,795
Speaker 1: of that was going to get them anything other than

232
00:16:38,875 --> 00:16:42,315
Speaker 1: more billable hours that Trump will someday stiff them on.

233
00:16:42,955 --> 00:16:45,715
Speaker 1: That has vanished with the issuance of what in every

234
00:16:45,755 --> 00:16:48,955
Speaker 1: other trial would be just another procedural memo, but what

235
00:16:49,115 --> 00:16:52,595
Speaker 1: in this one is a metaphorical backhand slap across Trump's

236
00:16:52,675 --> 00:16:56,635
Speaker 1: pouchy face. Quote the court will use a written questionnaire

237
00:16:56,875 --> 00:17:00,955
Speaker 1: in advance of in person jury selection. Judge chuckkn announces

238
00:17:01,195 --> 00:17:04,275
Speaker 1: prosecution and defense should negotiate what's in that they should

239
00:17:04,275 --> 00:17:08,275
Speaker 1: submit it to her on January ninth, that's sixty eight

240
00:17:08,355 --> 00:17:11,635
Speaker 1: days from now, before you subtract the holidays. And if

241
00:17:11,635 --> 00:17:14,075
Speaker 1: the lawyers can't agree on the wording of the questionnaire,

242
00:17:14,315 --> 00:17:17,155
Speaker 1: they need to tell her what's in dispute. Then quote,

243
00:17:17,635 --> 00:17:20,835
Speaker 1: after review and approval by the court, the questionnaire will

244
00:17:20,835 --> 00:17:24,675
Speaker 1: be distributed to prospective jurors summoned to complete it at

245
00:17:24,715 --> 00:17:29,635
Speaker 1: the courthouse on February nine, twenty twenty four, unquote, and

246
00:17:29,715 --> 00:17:33,955
Speaker 1: that's ninety nine days from now before subtracting the holidays.

247
00:17:34,035 --> 00:17:36,715
Speaker 1: And all that means is she intends to start this

248
00:17:36,955 --> 00:17:41,715
Speaker 1: trial on the announced date, March fourth, and that's one

249
00:17:41,795 --> 00:17:45,115
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty three days from now. Judge Chutkin went

250
00:17:45,155 --> 00:17:48,435
Speaker 1: on to warn both sides that they can research potential jurors,

251
00:17:48,955 --> 00:17:51,155
Speaker 1: but if they doxs any of them, she will come

252
00:17:51,195 --> 00:17:52,875
Speaker 1: down on them like a ton of bricks. And she

253
00:17:52,915 --> 00:17:55,875
Speaker 1: ain't looking at Jack Smith when she says that, quote,

254
00:17:56,155 --> 00:18:00,595
Speaker 1: no party may provide jurors identifying information to any other

255
00:18:00,915 --> 00:18:08,795
Speaker 1: entity parenthesis eg. The defendants campaign unquote that shot across

256
00:18:08,915 --> 00:18:12,835
Speaker 1: Trump's bow is delicious. But the import of the Chutkin

257
00:18:12,915 --> 00:18:16,555
Speaker 1: ruling is that it underscores Jack Smith's message to Trump's

258
00:18:16,555 --> 00:18:21,875
Speaker 1: concierge judge in Florida, Eileen Cannon. You will recall that

259
00:18:21,995 --> 00:18:25,075
Speaker 1: on Wednesday Cannon made all the kinds of noises for

260
00:18:25,195 --> 00:18:28,275
Speaker 1: ten judges make before they are going to do something

261
00:18:28,315 --> 00:18:32,515
Speaker 1: inappropriate or biased or waking of corruption, the same kind

262
00:18:32,555 --> 00:18:36,155
Speaker 1: of dilatory time wasters that Chutkin just swatted away in

263
00:18:36,275 --> 00:18:41,235
Speaker 1: Washington without even bothering to acknowledge them. Cannon accepted tenderly

264
00:18:41,715 --> 00:18:45,315
Speaker 1: and did everything but swaddle them in baby clothes. I'm

265
00:18:45,355 --> 00:18:47,715
Speaker 1: having a hard time seeing how this work can be

266
00:18:47,755 --> 00:18:51,955
Speaker 1: accomplished in this compressed period of time, she said, well,

267
00:18:52,195 --> 00:18:55,915
Speaker 1: metaphorically beaming at the man who lifted her from among

268
00:18:56,035 --> 00:18:59,755
Speaker 1: six thousand assistant US attorneys to a judge ship. She

269
00:18:59,875 --> 00:19:03,795
Speaker 1: was totally unprepared for. She spoke to the prosecutor then,

270
00:19:03,875 --> 00:19:09,355
Speaker 1: as if he were guided, misled, miseducated. I'm not seeing

271
00:19:09,395 --> 00:19:12,675
Speaker 1: in your position a level of understanding to these realities,

272
00:19:13,275 --> 00:19:15,875
Speaker 1: and she hinted that as soon as the next day

273
00:19:15,995 --> 00:19:20,915
Speaker 1: yesterday she might be making reasonable adjustments to the Florida

274
00:19:20,995 --> 00:19:24,915
Speaker 1: Documents case pre trial schedule that could slide the start

275
00:19:24,915 --> 00:19:28,835
Speaker 1: of that trial from May fourteenth until after the primaries,

276
00:19:29,075 --> 00:19:32,275
Speaker 1: or after the convention, or after the election. And then

277
00:19:32,315 --> 00:19:35,035
Speaker 1: she sat back as if waiting overnight would reduce the

278
00:19:35,075 --> 00:19:39,515
Speaker 1: obviousness of her dual role as Trump's judge and one

279
00:19:39,515 --> 00:19:43,275
Speaker 1: of Trump's lawyers. And then overnight came and went, and

280
00:19:43,315 --> 00:19:47,715
Speaker 1: the sun rose and set, and Judge Cannon ruled nothing.

281
00:19:48,875 --> 00:19:52,115
Speaker 1: And that was because Jack Smith's team filed a brief

282
00:19:52,195 --> 00:19:55,235
Speaker 1: overnight Wednesday that explained to Judge Cannon that it was

283
00:19:55,275 --> 00:19:57,915
Speaker 1: obvious she had missed the fact that Trump and his

284
00:19:57,955 --> 00:20:01,355
Speaker 1: attorneys had pulled the rug out from under her, and

285
00:20:01,435 --> 00:20:04,195
Speaker 1: that it was obvious to everybody in the world except

286
00:20:04,235 --> 00:20:07,355
Speaker 1: her that they were all playing her like the proverbial

287
00:20:07,435 --> 00:20:12,435
Speaker 1: two dollar ban Joe. Here she was ready to postpone

288
00:20:12,555 --> 00:20:16,555
Speaker 1: delay or otherwise scring out the Florida trial on the

289
00:20:16,595 --> 00:20:19,635
Speaker 1: excuse that he had so much prep for the Florida

290
00:20:19,675 --> 00:20:21,675
Speaker 1: trial that it would crash into the schedule for the

291
00:20:21,755 --> 00:20:25,115
Speaker 1: Washington trial. But Trump had already filed not just a

292
00:20:25,115 --> 00:20:28,755
Speaker 1: motion to dismiss the Washington trial, but was filing another

293
00:20:28,875 --> 00:20:32,715
Speaker 1: motion to delay the Washington trial indefinitely until they get

294
00:20:32,755 --> 00:20:36,155
Speaker 1: every court except Judge Wapner's to rule on this thing

295
00:20:36,235 --> 00:20:41,115
Speaker 1: they made up called presidential immunity. In short, Cannon was

296
00:20:41,155 --> 00:20:45,315
Speaker 1: about to delay her trial so Trump could concentrate on

297
00:20:45,395 --> 00:20:49,315
Speaker 1: the Washington trial, while Trump was busy demanding that they

298
00:20:49,395 --> 00:20:54,075
Speaker 1: delay the Washington trial too. Quote, as the government argued

299
00:20:54,115 --> 00:20:56,355
Speaker 1: to the court Wednesday, the trial date in the District

300
00:20:56,395 --> 00:20:59,435
Speaker 1: of Columbia case should not be a determinative factor in

301
00:20:59,435 --> 00:21:02,875
Speaker 1: the court's decision whether to modify the dates in this matter.

302
00:21:03,475 --> 00:21:08,075
Speaker 1: Defendant Trump's actions and by the way, how nice is

303
00:21:08,115 --> 00:21:13,435
Speaker 1: it to hear or say the phrase defendant Trump. Defendant

304
00:21:13,475 --> 00:21:16,795
Speaker 1: Trump's actions in the hours following the hearing in the

305
00:21:16,835 --> 00:21:21,115
Speaker 1: case illustrate the point and confirm his overriding interest in

306
00:21:21,195 --> 00:21:26,235
Speaker 1: delaying both trials at any cost. Smith and jay Bratt's

307
00:21:26,275 --> 00:21:29,475
Speaker 1: filing then closes with what seems like an unfortunate typo,

308
00:21:29,795 --> 00:21:32,915
Speaker 1: but which really reads more like a Freudian slip, warning

309
00:21:32,955 --> 00:21:36,355
Speaker 1: Eileen Cannon what a fool she is making of herself. Quote,

310
00:21:36,795 --> 00:21:41,635
Speaker 1: this court should allow itself to be manipulated in this fashion.

311
00:21:42,555 --> 00:21:47,115
Speaker 1: Of course, they meant should not allow. But if you

312
00:21:47,235 --> 00:21:51,755
Speaker 1: read it as written, and that's about you, you should

313
00:21:51,795 --> 00:21:55,595
Speaker 1: allow yourself to be manipulated in this fashion. I think

314
00:21:55,635 --> 00:22:00,795
Speaker 1: it would make your cheeks burn. Wait, I am allowing

315
00:22:00,795 --> 00:22:05,715
Speaker 1: myself to be manipulated. Regardless, Cannon's risks to that filing

316
00:22:05,875 --> 00:22:10,315
Speaker 1: was nothing, nothing that we know of. Anyway, I would

317
00:22:10,355 --> 00:22:12,555
Speaker 1: still not hold out much hope that she will do

318
00:22:12,595 --> 00:22:15,835
Speaker 1: the right thing. She's still on the case, even though

319
00:22:15,875 --> 00:22:19,155
Speaker 1: if there is an in person hearing a week from Monday,

320
00:22:19,835 --> 00:22:23,195
Speaker 1: Trump's attorneys really should bring in a cake celebrating the

321
00:22:23,195 --> 00:22:30,395
Speaker 1: third anniversary of her appointment by the defendant. Still, corruption

322
00:22:30,515 --> 00:22:34,155
Speaker 1: delayed could always turn out to be corruption denied. Where

323
00:22:34,195 --> 00:22:39,475
Speaker 1: there's hope of honesty, there's life or something, or as

324
00:22:39,515 --> 00:22:43,475
Speaker 1: the judicial website above, the law dot com perfectly headlined

325
00:22:43,595 --> 00:22:47,795
Speaker 1: its story on this farse, Trump demands delay in Florida

326
00:22:47,875 --> 00:22:51,435
Speaker 1: case to accommodate delay in DC case, to accommodate delay

327
00:22:51,555 --> 00:22:57,715
Speaker 1: in dot dot dot before getting to the shreka here

328
00:22:57,755 --> 00:23:01,195
Speaker 1: in New York, in which, for once, Trump himself is

329
00:23:01,195 --> 00:23:07,155
Speaker 1: actually an innocent bystander. One more note about Eileen Cannon.

330
00:23:07,475 --> 00:23:10,555
Speaker 1: If you saw it and it was everywhere, and you

331
00:23:10,675 --> 00:23:13,835
Speaker 1: don't know that the purported Trump's social media post about

332
00:23:13,875 --> 00:23:17,195
Speaker 1: Canon was a fake. It was a fake. It had

333
00:23:17,275 --> 00:23:19,915
Speaker 1: him saying that she was the best judge since King David,

334
00:23:20,195 --> 00:23:22,715
Speaker 1: and she gets the next Supreme Court opening, and given

335
00:23:22,715 --> 00:23:26,235
Speaker 1: the bottomless pit of Trumpian corruption, it sounds utterly plausible.

336
00:23:26,835 --> 00:23:31,075
Speaker 1: But there was a series of tells. First, content, whoever

337
00:23:31,115 --> 00:23:33,955
Speaker 1: wrote it refers to quote looney Jack Smith, and he

338
00:23:33,995 --> 00:23:39,915
Speaker 1: has never called him looney. It's too endearing. Secondly, how

339
00:23:39,955 --> 00:23:42,995
Speaker 1: in the hell would Trump, who kept not a Bible

340
00:23:43,115 --> 00:23:46,475
Speaker 1: by his bed, but rather a copy of Hitler's favorite speeches,

341
00:23:46,915 --> 00:23:49,395
Speaker 1: how in the hell would he know who King David was?

342
00:23:50,795 --> 00:23:53,355
Speaker 1: Then there are the technical tells. Is it on his

343
00:23:53,435 --> 00:23:56,115
Speaker 1: social media site? And if it isn't, which it wasn't,

344
00:23:56,395 --> 00:23:59,435
Speaker 1: how come every time you see the screen shot it's

345
00:23:59,515 --> 00:24:03,595
Speaker 1: exactly the same one with the same font. Wouldn't more

346
00:24:03,675 --> 00:24:06,755
Speaker 1: than one person have said screenshotted something that would be

347
00:24:06,795 --> 00:24:09,275
Speaker 1: that stupid even for Trump? I mean, there are literally

348
00:24:09,315 --> 00:24:13,835
Speaker 1: dozens of reporters with burner accounts on Trump's site waiting

349
00:24:13,995 --> 00:24:17,155
Speaker 1: for things like that, who get alerts for things like that,

350
00:24:17,355 --> 00:24:21,235
Speaker 1: and only one of them got the screenshot. You're going

351
00:24:21,315 --> 00:24:24,035
Speaker 1: to bite on the fake ones, only bite on the

352
00:24:24,075 --> 00:24:32,115
Speaker 1: good fake ones. Also, everything including the word adjudicated, was

353
00:24:32,195 --> 00:24:37,755
Speaker 1: spelled correctly. Now to New York, it looked like the

354
00:24:37,755 --> 00:24:41,035
Speaker 1: civil fraud trial of Trump and Junior and Moron Junior

355
00:24:41,075 --> 00:24:43,835
Speaker 1: and Girl Junior was going to be highlighted by Junior's

356
00:24:43,835 --> 00:24:48,195
Speaker 1: admission that sure he signed all those fraudulent financial statements,

357
00:24:48,355 --> 00:24:51,515
Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean he's responsible for what's in those

358
00:24:51,595 --> 00:24:55,715
Speaker 1: fraudulent financial statements. Or if not that, then it was

359
00:24:55,755 --> 00:24:59,475
Speaker 1: going to be highlighted by Moron Junior, who yesterday testified

360
00:24:59,515 --> 00:25:01,915
Speaker 1: under oath that he never heard of the company's statement

361
00:25:01,915 --> 00:25:05,675
Speaker 1: of financial condition until recently, and then they showed him

362
00:25:05,675 --> 00:25:10,395
Speaker 1: an email where employees were told that he was working

363
00:25:10,395 --> 00:25:14,955
Speaker 1: on the company statement of financial condition. But then something

364
00:25:15,035 --> 00:25:18,995
Speaker 1: happened that caused Judge Arthur and Gern to literally pound

365
00:25:19,155 --> 00:25:21,915
Speaker 1: on the bench and shout, if there is any further

366
00:25:21,995 --> 00:25:25,875
Speaker 1: reference to anyone on my staff, I would consider expanding

367
00:25:25,915 --> 00:25:31,675
Speaker 1: the gag order to include the attorney's unquote more amazing Still,

368
00:25:32,475 --> 00:25:36,555
Speaker 1: what caused that had nothing to do with any of

369
00:25:36,595 --> 00:25:40,555
Speaker 1: the Trumps, but instead it was about their attorney, Chris Kiss.

370
00:25:41,435 --> 00:25:43,875
Speaker 1: He complained to the bench about the court clerk you know,

371
00:25:43,995 --> 00:25:47,635
Speaker 1: the one Trump doxed, and in that paroxysm of paranoia,

372
00:25:48,235 --> 00:25:53,435
Speaker 1: he claimed she was Chuck Schumer's girlfriend, and now she

373
00:25:53,635 --> 00:25:57,235
Speaker 1: was passing notes to the judge, and Kiss complained about it.

374
00:25:57,515 --> 00:26:01,435
Speaker 1: That's right, the judge shouted, confidential communications for my record,

375
00:26:01,555 --> 00:26:04,275
Speaker 1: absolute right to it. You don't have any right to

376
00:26:04,315 --> 00:26:08,435
Speaker 1: see it. While it would be joyful to think that

377
00:26:08,475 --> 00:26:12,555
Speaker 1: Trump has actually only hired lawyers like Alena Haba and

378
00:26:12,595 --> 00:26:15,635
Speaker 1: the other one, the one who vanished the lawyer slash

379
00:26:15,795 --> 00:26:21,115
Speaker 1: spokesmodel Christina something what never happened to her, it would

380
00:26:21,155 --> 00:26:24,195
Speaker 1: be joyful to think that he'd only hired lawyers who

381
00:26:24,235 --> 00:26:28,315
Speaker 1: are even worse at legal stuff than he is. Courtroom

382
00:26:28,395 --> 00:26:32,035
Speaker 1: observers believe that this one, mister Kiss, may have actually

383
00:26:32,075 --> 00:26:36,115
Speaker 1: pulled off a brilliant bit of performance art and actually

384
00:26:36,195 --> 00:26:39,635
Speaker 1: taken one for the team. This theory states that instead

385
00:26:39,635 --> 00:26:43,195
Speaker 1: of writing about how Eric Trump seemingly perjured himself about

386
00:26:43,195 --> 00:26:46,315
Speaker 1: the Trump statement of financial condition and the fact that

387
00:26:46,355 --> 00:26:49,515
Speaker 1: it sure looks like Eric only began to develop amnesia

388
00:26:49,555 --> 00:26:53,755
Speaker 1: about company financials in twenty twenty as the Attorney General's

389
00:26:53,755 --> 00:26:57,355
Speaker 1: investigation began, instead of that, everybody is writing about the

390
00:26:57,395 --> 00:27:01,515
Speaker 1: clerk and the gag order again, and the judge yelling.

391
00:27:02,075 --> 00:27:04,555
Speaker 1: And as a bonus, when they are writing about the

392
00:27:04,675 --> 00:27:09,755
Speaker 1: those things, they also aren't mentioning. Dementia jy Supporting this

393
00:27:09,795 --> 00:27:12,555
Speaker 1: theory is the startling realization that there could actually have

394
00:27:12,635 --> 00:27:17,195
Speaker 1: been an entire day in a courtroom somewhere in the

395
00:27:17,235 --> 00:27:21,195
Speaker 1: world in which Donald Trump's name did not come up

396
00:27:21,315 --> 00:27:26,155
Speaker 1: at all. But he can never leave well enough alone,

397
00:27:26,435 --> 00:27:28,715
Speaker 1: nor can he leave bad enough alone. For that matter.

398
00:27:29,595 --> 00:27:32,875
Speaker 1: Dementia j attacked Angern online again at midday, and then

399
00:27:32,915 --> 00:27:36,435
Speaker 1: he did something even weirder. Quote our corrupt attorney general

400
00:27:36,875 --> 00:27:40,755
Speaker 1: sits on her ass in court all day watching the

401
00:27:40,795 --> 00:27:48,035
Speaker 1: Trump family unquote. So Defendant Trump, how long have you

402
00:27:48,115 --> 00:27:54,715
Speaker 1: been obsessed by Letitia James's backside? There is one more

403
00:27:54,955 --> 00:27:57,515
Speaker 1: Trump trial. Note it was light day, only five of

404
00:27:57,515 --> 00:28:02,155
Speaker 1: them in progress. At the fourteenth Amendment disqualification hearing in Colorado.

405
00:28:02,315 --> 00:28:07,115
Speaker 1: Trump's team called as witnesses the just announced his retirement.

406
00:28:07,155 --> 00:28:11,995
Speaker 1: Representative ken Buck, the woman who organized the January sixth

407
00:28:12,075 --> 00:28:16,675
Speaker 1: rally and the chief of staff to Congressman bat Guano

408
00:28:17,475 --> 00:28:21,595
Speaker 1: Paul Gozar. Ken Bucks stumbled all over the so called

409
00:28:21,595 --> 00:28:24,995
Speaker 1: Republican evidence about the insurrection, saying the January sixth Committee

410
00:28:25,155 --> 00:28:28,115
Speaker 1: left out Jim Jordan's side of the story, which immediately

411
00:28:28,115 --> 00:28:31,315
Speaker 1: reminded the court that Jim Jordan ignored first an invitation

412
00:28:31,435 --> 00:28:34,355
Speaker 1: to testify to the committee and then a subpoena from

413
00:28:34,355 --> 00:28:40,195
Speaker 1: the committee. Jim Jordan, remember, Jim Jordan. But the part

414
00:28:40,235 --> 00:28:42,475
Speaker 1: about that that knocked me out was the part that

415
00:28:42,515 --> 00:28:46,235
Speaker 1: again supports by conviction that whatever Trump's brain problem is,

416
00:28:46,795 --> 00:28:53,075
Speaker 1: it is getting worse and rapidly so. Ken Buck testified

417
00:28:53,675 --> 00:28:59,235
Speaker 1: on Trump's behalf in court at about nine am local

418
00:28:59,275 --> 00:29:03,875
Speaker 1: time yesterday, not twelve hours earlier. Trump had written, quote,

419
00:29:04,075 --> 00:29:08,435
Speaker 1: good news for the country. Congressman ken Buck of Colorado,

420
00:29:08,595 --> 00:29:12,275
Speaker 1: A weak and ineffective super rhino, if ever there was one,

421
00:29:12,395 --> 00:29:14,395
Speaker 1: announced today that he won't be running again, which is

422
00:29:14,475 --> 00:29:18,835
Speaker 1: a great thing for the Republican Party. Bad news for

423
00:29:18,915 --> 00:29:23,715
Speaker 1: ken Buck. That's the same Trump whose subversion you defended

424
00:29:23,955 --> 00:29:27,795
Speaker 1: under oath. Worst news for Trump now. Ken Buck also

425
00:29:27,955 --> 00:29:30,435
Speaker 1: knows that if you are loyal to Trump, you can

426
00:29:30,475 --> 00:29:33,555
Speaker 1: rest assured that you can rely on him for the

427
00:29:33,595 --> 00:29:38,435
Speaker 1: rest of your life. He will never forget to not

428
00:29:38,635 --> 00:29:41,475
Speaker 1: give a damn who you are or what you did

429
00:29:41,515 --> 00:29:47,435
Speaker 1: for him. A little closer to home. This is year

430
00:29:47,555 --> 00:29:50,715
Speaker 1: twenty five of the part of my career I've spent

431
00:29:50,755 --> 00:29:54,235
Speaker 1: covering politics, and rarely do headlines surprise me anymore. But

432
00:29:54,315 --> 00:29:56,955
Speaker 1: to be fair, a hat tip to the writers of

433
00:29:56,995 --> 00:30:01,515
Speaker 1: this part of our current timeline quote us investigating whether

434
00:30:01,715 --> 00:30:05,795
Speaker 1: New York Mayor Eric Adams received illegal donation from Turkey.

435
00:30:06,875 --> 00:30:09,515
Speaker 1: A raid at the home of his chief fundraiser was

436
00:30:09,555 --> 00:30:13,195
Speaker 1: part of an inquiring into whether foreign money was funneled

437
00:30:13,235 --> 00:30:20,755
Speaker 1: into his mayoral campaign. A search warrant shows. I wonder

438
00:30:20,835 --> 00:30:23,595
Speaker 1: how he's going to claim this was all God's doing.

439
00:30:24,795 --> 00:30:27,235
Speaker 1: Anybody who has lived in this city for longer than

440
00:30:27,275 --> 00:30:30,275
Speaker 1: twenty two minutes knows that when the mayor leaves for

441
00:30:30,475 --> 00:30:33,115
Speaker 1: Washington to try to get money for something, and when

442
00:30:33,115 --> 00:30:36,395
Speaker 1: he gets there he suddenly cancels the meetings and heads

443
00:30:36,475 --> 00:30:39,075
Speaker 1: right back to New York, that something good is in

444
00:30:39,115 --> 00:30:43,435
Speaker 1: the microwave. And then it came the news yesterday that

445
00:30:43,475 --> 00:30:46,795
Speaker 1: the FBI had raided the top donation wrangler of his campaign,

446
00:30:46,995 --> 00:30:50,115
Speaker 1: the woman who doubles as one of his key agenda operatives,

447
00:30:50,275 --> 00:30:52,995
Speaker 1: always pushing the mayor wants this, and the mayor wants that.

448
00:30:53,835 --> 00:30:59,035
Speaker 1: Finally out comes the warrant and the backstory noveled even

449
00:30:59,115 --> 00:31:03,315
Speaker 1: for this city, and it's Madame Tussaud's collection of corrupt mayors.

450
00:31:03,995 --> 00:31:07,595
Speaker 1: There is a Brooklyn construction company involved. It has ties

451
00:31:07,635 --> 00:31:11,875
Speaker 1: to Turkey. There is Bay Atlantic University in Washington which

452
00:31:11,875 --> 00:31:14,795
Speaker 1: has six hundred students but no Wikipedia page, but it's

453
00:31:14,875 --> 00:31:18,755
Speaker 1: owned by people in Turkey, and it has ties to

454
00:31:18,795 --> 00:31:22,195
Speaker 1: Mayor Adams. Then there's the mayor himself who's boasted he's

455
00:31:22,235 --> 00:31:27,835
Speaker 1: traveled six or seven times to Turkey. There are donors

456
00:31:27,875 --> 00:31:29,795
Speaker 1: who are in the Ledger books but don't seem to

457
00:31:29,795 --> 00:31:32,555
Speaker 1: actually exist or at least to have donated. And there

458
00:31:32,595 --> 00:31:36,475
Speaker 1: are allegedly kickbacks to the construction company and to Turkey.

459
00:31:36,515 --> 00:31:39,275
Speaker 1: And I will just state for the record, and mister Chairman,

460
00:31:39,635 --> 00:31:47,355
Speaker 1: don't blame me. I voted for the garbage commissioner. Lady

461
00:31:47,715 --> 00:31:51,355
Speaker 1: back to Washington trooping Johnson. Watch day nine, the new

462
00:31:51,395 --> 00:31:55,515
Speaker 1: fifth string Speaker pasted his support Israel, don't support Ukraine.

463
00:31:55,555 --> 00:31:58,675
Speaker 1: Don't you dare let the IRS investigate rich Republican tax

464
00:31:58,675 --> 00:32:02,315
Speaker 1: evators bill. He even got twelve Democratic votes for it.

465
00:32:02,315 --> 00:32:03,995
Speaker 1: It will go to the Senate where there's not a

466
00:32:04,075 --> 00:32:07,195
Speaker 1: chance in hell of passing, and Ukraine will be put

467
00:32:07,235 --> 00:32:09,675
Speaker 1: back in and the defunding of the irs that will

468
00:32:09,715 --> 00:32:13,115
Speaker 1: expand the deficit will be taken back out. But that's

469
00:32:13,155 --> 00:32:16,395
Speaker 1: not the point. The point is that once again this

470
00:32:16,955 --> 00:32:23,955
Speaker 1: Johnson's weird ejaculations. What dictionary definition of ejaculation is something

471
00:32:23,995 --> 00:32:31,795
Speaker 1: said quickly and suddenly what what this guy says about?

472
00:32:31,835 --> 00:32:35,595
Speaker 1: He's not playing politics with aid to Israel. This bothers me.

473
00:32:36,875 --> 00:32:40,355
Speaker 1: It bothers me because it's clear that Mike Johnson does

474
00:32:40,395 --> 00:32:44,275
Speaker 1: not realize that we all can see him.

475
00:32:44,475 --> 00:32:46,835
Speaker 2: And now, as Israel begins the next phase of its war,

476
00:32:47,435 --> 00:32:49,755
Speaker 2: it's been kind of disturbing to us. I've heard Democrats

477
00:32:50,315 --> 00:32:52,955
Speaker 2: suggest that there needs to be a ceasefire. Israel doesn't

478
00:32:52,955 --> 00:32:56,155
Speaker 2: need a ceasefire, needs its allies to cease with the

479
00:32:56,195 --> 00:32:59,155
Speaker 2: politics and deliver support now. And that's what we're doing.

480
00:32:59,515 --> 00:33:01,475
Speaker 2: House Republicans plan to do that. We're going to do

481
00:33:01,515 --> 00:33:03,915
Speaker 2: it in short order, and it provides Israeli aid it

482
00:33:03,915 --> 00:33:07,315
Speaker 2: needs to defend its al, free its hostages, and eradicate Hamas,

483
00:33:07,715 --> 00:33:10,355
Speaker 2: which is a mission that must be accomplished. All of this,

484
00:33:10,595 --> 00:33:14,715
Speaker 2: all of this while we also work to ensure responsible

485
00:33:14,755 --> 00:33:17,395
Speaker 2: spending and reduce the size of the federal government to

486
00:33:17,475 --> 00:33:19,995
Speaker 2: pay for that commitment to our friend in Lae. We

487
00:33:20,035 --> 00:33:22,835
Speaker 2: cannot waste any time getting Israel d eight it needs.

488
00:33:22,955 --> 00:33:23,755
Speaker 2: We're going to work on that.

489
00:33:24,195 --> 00:33:28,715
Speaker 1: Right, no politics and no delay. Other than the part

490
00:33:28,715 --> 00:33:32,475
Speaker 1: about Ukraine, which I guess is kind of relevant because

491
00:33:32,475 --> 00:33:36,075
Speaker 1: they're both wars. Oh, and the part about the Irs,

492
00:33:36,115 --> 00:33:39,315
Speaker 1: which has got nothing to do with Israel. It's pure

493
00:33:39,675 --> 00:33:43,915
Speaker 1: it's pure politics. Three year old child could see that.

494
00:33:44,395 --> 00:33:47,235
Speaker 1: Any one of my dogs could see that. There is

495
00:33:47,275 --> 00:33:53,435
Speaker 1: the terrifying prospect that Mike Johnson might not be this stupid.

496
00:33:54,035 --> 00:34:01,235
Speaker 1: He might actually believe he's getting away with it. And lastly,

497
00:34:01,275 --> 00:34:06,155
Speaker 1: speaking of Johnson's, there's Lauren Bobert and Marjorie Taylor Green

498
00:34:06,275 --> 00:34:09,635
Speaker 1: and Chip Roy in a three way war of words.

499
00:34:10,995 --> 00:34:13,355
Speaker 1: It began with a post by Roy explaining why he

500
00:34:13,395 --> 00:34:15,435
Speaker 1: moved to stop the vote to cent your representative to

501
00:34:15,515 --> 00:34:20,635
Speaker 1: leab then Barney Rubble. Marjorie Taylor Green subtweeted him, you

502
00:34:20,755 --> 00:34:22,595
Speaker 1: voted to kick me out of the Freedom Caucus, but

503
00:34:22,715 --> 00:34:27,915
Speaker 1: kept seingn Wanna be ken Buck and vaping groping Lauren Bobert.

504
00:34:28,915 --> 00:34:34,195
Speaker 1: All right, vaping groping Lauren Bobert. Sure Roy replied to that,

505
00:34:34,675 --> 00:34:38,115
Speaker 1: tell her to go chase so called Jewish space lasers

506
00:34:38,315 --> 00:34:40,395
Speaker 1: if she wants to spend time on that sort of thing.

507
00:34:41,035 --> 00:34:46,315
Speaker 1: And Green then responded, oh, shut up, Colonel Sanders, and

508
00:34:46,435 --> 00:34:49,595
Speaker 1: predicted that this would all end with him reciting quote

509
00:34:49,635 --> 00:34:54,475
Speaker 1: powdered Wig soliloquies as Americans are marched to the firing squads,

510
00:34:55,435 --> 00:34:57,075
Speaker 1: and no, that's where they lost. Man. I don't get

511
00:34:57,075 --> 00:35:01,235
Speaker 1: that reference either. Curiously silent through all this, though, was

512
00:35:01,315 --> 00:35:06,835
Speaker 1: vaping groping Lauren Bobert. Sources say she's simply sitting there

513
00:35:06,915 --> 00:35:16,035
Speaker 1: quietly trying to get a grip on the situation. I

514
00:35:16,115 --> 00:35:19,755
Speaker 1: made that last part up. Also of interest here, oops,

515
00:35:19,795 --> 00:35:22,435
Speaker 1: turns out there are more skeletons in the closet of

516
00:35:22,515 --> 00:35:26,555
Speaker 1: Dean Phillips, the Gelato king and Minnesota congressman who is

517
00:35:26,675 --> 00:35:30,275
Speaker 1: challenging Biden in the primaries. But it's just a coincidence

518
00:35:30,275 --> 00:35:36,035
Speaker 1: that Harlan Crowe has contributed to Dean's campaign, when Harlan

519
00:35:36,155 --> 00:35:41,075
Speaker 1: crow might not be your biggest problem. You've got some

520
00:35:41,715 --> 00:35:48,795
Speaker 1: closet that's next. This is countdown. This is countdown, with

521
00:35:48,995 --> 00:36:14,595
Speaker 1: Keith Olberman still ahead on countdown in the deer Dead

522
00:36:14,755 --> 00:36:18,475
Speaker 1: days of the early nineteen seventies, when an innocence in

523
00:36:18,595 --> 00:36:22,475
Speaker 1: naivete consumed us all. My dad and I were flying

524
00:36:22,515 --> 00:36:26,195
Speaker 1: to Boston for some reason, and for some reason, there

525
00:36:26,235 --> 00:36:29,915
Speaker 1: was a passenger who'd pissed us off another passenger in

526
00:36:29,995 --> 00:36:33,355
Speaker 1: the line to get the tickets maybe, and he sat

527
00:36:33,475 --> 00:36:36,275
Speaker 1: near us in the waiting room. So as we sat

528
00:36:36,275 --> 00:36:38,715
Speaker 1: there in the waiting room at LaGuardia, my dad and

529
00:36:38,755 --> 00:36:42,475
Speaker 1: I began to, on a totally ad hoc, unplanned basis,

530
00:36:42,595 --> 00:36:45,195
Speaker 1: try to scare the crap out of the guy because

531
00:36:45,195 --> 00:36:48,515
Speaker 1: he had annoyed us. I didn't think they allowed that

532
00:36:48,595 --> 00:36:52,315
Speaker 1: on planes, I began. My dad winked at me. I

533
00:36:52,315 --> 00:36:54,915
Speaker 1: didn't think they allowed anything like that on commercial flights.

534
00:36:55,635 --> 00:36:59,035
Speaker 1: He nodded me to keep going. Well, I said, I

535
00:36:59,035 --> 00:37:01,675
Speaker 1: didn't think you could put explosives on any plane in

536
00:37:01,675 --> 00:37:06,715
Speaker 1: this country. The guy sitting near us looked alarmed and

537
00:37:06,755 --> 00:37:11,035
Speaker 1: then quickly moved away, mission accomplished. I do not believe

538
00:37:11,075 --> 00:37:13,035
Speaker 1: that by that point in my life I had read

539
00:37:13,075 --> 00:37:15,915
Speaker 1: The Lady on One four to two by James Thurber.

540
00:37:15,995 --> 00:37:18,595
Speaker 1: But I might have, and it might have inspired that

541
00:37:18,715 --> 00:37:23,435
Speaker 1: impromptu and really evil, practical joke at that airport. You'll

542
00:37:23,475 --> 00:37:26,595
Speaker 1: hear why next in Fridays with Thurber and the Lady

543
00:37:26,635 --> 00:37:29,115
Speaker 1: on one four to two, first time for the daily

544
00:37:29,195 --> 00:37:32,075
Speaker 1: roundup of the miss Grants, morons and Dunning Krueger effects specimens,

545
00:37:32,235 --> 00:37:37,595
Speaker 1: who constitute two days worse persons in the world worse

546
00:37:37,835 --> 00:37:42,635
Speaker 1: Congressman Dean Phillips, the Harlan Crowe funded quote Democrat unquote

547
00:37:42,755 --> 00:37:46,075
Speaker 1: who is challenging President Biden in the primaries because he

548
00:37:46,115 --> 00:37:48,955
Speaker 1: thinks Biden is too old. And remember the polling, It

549
00:37:48,955 --> 00:37:51,995
Speaker 1: does not matter if anybody thinks Biden is too old.

550
00:37:52,315 --> 00:37:55,795
Speaker 1: It only matters if everybody thinks Trump is too old.

551
00:37:56,795 --> 00:38:00,915
Speaker 1: Any who Daily Beast reports he's so rich Dean Phillips

552
00:38:01,035 --> 00:38:04,755
Speaker 1: is that he's the Talente Gelato guy, that he he

553
00:38:04,795 --> 00:38:08,355
Speaker 1: has his own secret holding company and he buys real

554
00:38:08,475 --> 00:38:11,435
Speaker 1: estate through it in order to lower his tax liability.

555
00:38:11,755 --> 00:38:14,395
Speaker 1: So his purchase of his one and a half million

556
00:38:14,435 --> 00:38:17,755
Speaker 1: dollar town home in DC it was bought not by

557
00:38:17,795 --> 00:38:23,195
Speaker 1: Dean Phillips nor by his wife, but by Anna DLLC,

558
00:38:24,355 --> 00:38:27,515
Speaker 1: which is legal except for one problem. He is a

559
00:38:27,515 --> 00:38:30,275
Speaker 1: member of Congress after all, and his financial transactions are

560
00:38:30,275 --> 00:38:33,315
Speaker 1: supposed to be transparent, except there's no record of this

561
00:38:33,355 --> 00:38:38,315
Speaker 1: one or of him owning the LLC in question. Oops,

562
00:38:39,115 --> 00:38:43,675
Speaker 1: maybe Harlan crow Ow worser a Fox News tie between

563
00:38:43,675 --> 00:38:48,195
Speaker 1: two of the true scumbags on that channel, Little Jesse Waters,

564
00:38:48,555 --> 00:38:52,355
Speaker 1: who broke in his bill O'Reilly's henchman and procureur and stalker,

565
00:38:52,835 --> 00:38:55,555
Speaker 1: and who went on Fox instead of Arab Americans who

566
00:38:55,555 --> 00:38:58,555
Speaker 1: are for some reason against all or just part of

567
00:38:58,555 --> 00:39:01,595
Speaker 1: the tragedy in the Middle East. Quote, we've had it

568
00:39:01,635 --> 00:39:03,915
Speaker 1: with them. And so if you're an Arab American in

569
00:39:03,955 --> 00:39:06,515
Speaker 1: this country, no, no, no, someone is going to get

570
00:39:06,595 --> 00:39:10,595
Speaker 1: punched in the face unquote. Apparently that someone turns out

571
00:39:10,635 --> 00:39:13,275
Speaker 1: to be at least metaphorically Waters, who was not on

572
00:39:13,395 --> 00:39:16,715
Speaker 1: either of his shows yesterday. Rumor is he's been suspended.

573
00:39:17,195 --> 00:39:19,475
Speaker 1: Then there's Mark Levin of Fox, whose voice is so

574
00:39:19,635 --> 00:39:24,635
Speaker 1: bad he sounds like somebody scraping aluminum signing with barbecue tongs.

575
00:39:25,435 --> 00:39:27,115
Speaker 1: His voice is so bad he will never get a

576
00:39:27,115 --> 00:39:29,955
Speaker 1: weeknight show on Fox, but he is on on the weekends.

577
00:39:30,355 --> 00:39:32,915
Speaker 1: And he was nice enough recently to call Jake Tapper

578
00:39:32,915 --> 00:39:36,955
Speaker 1: of CNN a quote self hating jew. And now he

579
00:39:36,995 --> 00:39:40,675
Speaker 1: says Wolf Blitzer's quote parents weren't victims in one way

580
00:39:40,795 --> 00:39:43,595
Speaker 1: or another around the Holocaust, and you can see where

581
00:39:43,595 --> 00:39:47,555
Speaker 1: this guy is going. Wolf Flitzer's parents fled Poland after

582
00:39:47,635 --> 00:39:51,315
Speaker 1: all four of his grandparents were killed during the Holocaust, murdered.

583
00:39:51,835 --> 00:39:55,355
Speaker 1: His maternal grandparents were murdered at Auschwitz. This is not

584
00:39:55,555 --> 00:39:58,635
Speaker 1: enough for Levin. And you could call Levin self hating,

585
00:39:58,715 --> 00:40:00,515
Speaker 1: but he didn't have time for that. He's too busy

586
00:40:00,555 --> 00:40:06,195
Speaker 1: hating everybody else. A truly sick and disgusting creature. But

587
00:40:06,275 --> 00:40:11,155
Speaker 1: our winners Hockey's Anaheim's Ducks Saturday, and I think you've

588
00:40:11,155 --> 00:40:13,835
Speaker 1: probably heard about this. The former Pittsburgh Penguin player Adam

589
00:40:13,915 --> 00:40:18,315
Speaker 1: Johnson died during a professional hockey game in England when

590
00:40:18,355 --> 00:40:22,035
Speaker 1: his neck was devastatingly cut by the skate of another player.

591
00:40:22,515 --> 00:40:26,715
Speaker 1: That league immediately mandated that all players in it wear

592
00:40:26,835 --> 00:40:29,715
Speaker 1: neck guards. The National Hockey League seems to be moving

593
00:40:29,755 --> 00:40:33,835
Speaker 1: towards that too. Many players around the league immediately voluntarily

594
00:40:33,875 --> 00:40:38,035
Speaker 1: began to wear them, at least in practices. But in Anaheim,

595
00:40:38,355 --> 00:40:42,435
Speaker 1: the Ducks social media team yesterday posted a slow motion

596
00:40:42,635 --> 00:40:47,155
Speaker 1: video of anaheim goon Radco Goudis with a legal mid

597
00:40:47,235 --> 00:40:51,075
Speaker 1: ice hipcheck of Arizona's Clayton Keller with the caption Beware

598
00:40:51,275 --> 00:40:56,075
Speaker 1: the Butcher. After Goodis hit Keller, both players crumpled to

599
00:40:56,115 --> 00:41:00,795
Speaker 1: the ice, and first Goodas's left skate just missed hitting

600
00:41:00,875 --> 00:41:04,515
Speaker 1: Keller's unprotected neck, maybe by a foot, and then Goudas's

601
00:41:04,795 --> 00:41:08,275
Speaker 1: right skate literally bumped up against the side of Keller's

602
00:41:08,315 --> 00:41:11,315
Speaker 1: head his helmet, missing his neck again by just a

603
00:41:11,395 --> 00:41:16,635
Speaker 1: couple of inches. Beware the Butcher and the Anaheim Ducks

604
00:41:16,635 --> 00:41:19,995
Speaker 1: decided to celebrate that play and use the term butcher.

605
00:41:20,355 --> 00:41:23,795
Speaker 1: While police in England are still investigating exactly how a

606
00:41:23,995 --> 00:41:28,635
Speaker 1: skate to the neck killed Adam Johnson on Ice six

607
00:41:28,715 --> 00:41:34,715
Speaker 1: days ago. The Anaheim Ducks, as they say, read the

608
00:41:34,755 --> 00:41:51,435
Speaker 1: effing room today's worst persons in the world do the

609
00:41:51,515 --> 00:41:54,395
Speaker 1: number one story on the countdown, and it is Friday's

610
00:41:54,395 --> 00:41:56,235
Speaker 1: with Thurber, And thus the number one story on the

611
00:41:56,275 --> 00:42:00,755
Speaker 1: Countdown is Fridays with James Thurber. Many of the great writers,

612
00:42:00,995 --> 00:42:04,515
Speaker 1: great stories, the short stories, the fables, have great me

613
00:42:05,035 --> 00:42:07,555
Speaker 1: were symbolism, and some of them are just great fun.

614
00:42:08,035 --> 00:42:10,475
Speaker 1: Let me give you one of the latter from the

615
00:42:10,475 --> 00:42:15,355
Speaker 1: Thurber Carnival. It will explain itself fairly quickly. The Lady

616
00:42:15,715 --> 00:42:21,195
Speaker 1: on one four to two by James Thurber. The train

617
00:42:21,675 --> 00:42:24,275
Speaker 1: was twenty minutes late, we found out when we bought

618
00:42:24,275 --> 00:42:26,555
Speaker 1: our tickets, so we sat down on a bench in

619
00:42:26,595 --> 00:42:30,235
Speaker 1: the little waiting room of the Cornwall Bridge station. It

620
00:42:30,355 --> 00:42:34,355
Speaker 1: was too hot outside in the sun. This Midsummer Saturday

621
00:42:34,355 --> 00:42:37,155
Speaker 1: had got off to a sulky start, and now at

622
00:42:37,235 --> 00:42:41,515
Speaker 1: three in the afternoon it sat sticky and restive in

623
00:42:41,675 --> 00:42:46,795
Speaker 1: our laps. There were several others beside Sylvia and myself

624
00:42:46,835 --> 00:42:49,795
Speaker 1: waiting for the train to get in from Pittsfield. An

625
00:42:49,875 --> 00:42:53,355
Speaker 1: older woman who fanned herself with a daily news, a

626
00:42:53,435 --> 00:42:56,435
Speaker 1: young lady in her twenties reading a book, A slender,

627
00:42:56,715 --> 00:43:01,795
Speaker 1: tanned man sucking dreamily on the stem of an unlighted pipe.

628
00:43:01,875 --> 00:43:04,235
Speaker 1: In the center of the room, leaning against a high

629
00:43:04,355 --> 00:43:07,915
Speaker 1: iron radiator, a small girl stared at each of us

630
00:43:07,955 --> 00:43:11,715
Speaker 1: in turn, her mouth open, as if she had never

631
00:43:11,755 --> 00:43:16,635
Speaker 1: seen people before. The place had the familiar pleasant smell

632
00:43:16,675 --> 00:43:20,275
Speaker 1: of railroad stations in the country, of something compounded of

633
00:43:20,355 --> 00:43:24,315
Speaker 1: wood and leather and smoke. In the cramped space behind

634
00:43:24,315 --> 00:43:28,635
Speaker 1: the ticket window, a telegraph instrument clicked intermittently, and once

635
00:43:28,755 --> 00:43:31,675
Speaker 1: or twice a phone rang, and the station master answered

636
00:43:31,675 --> 00:43:35,515
Speaker 1: it briefly. I couldn't hear what he said. I was

637
00:43:35,555 --> 00:43:37,395
Speaker 1: glad on such a day that we were going only

638
00:43:37,435 --> 00:43:40,995
Speaker 1: as far as Gaylordsville. The third stopped down the line

639
00:43:41,035 --> 00:43:44,595
Speaker 1: twenty two minutes away. The station master had told us

640
00:43:44,635 --> 00:43:47,235
Speaker 1: that our tickets were the first tickets to Gaylordsville he

641
00:43:47,275 --> 00:43:51,915
Speaker 1: had ever sold. I was idly pondering this small distinction

642
00:43:51,955 --> 00:43:55,235
Speaker 1: when a train whistle blew in the distance. We all

643
00:43:55,235 --> 00:43:57,835
Speaker 1: got to our feet, but the station master came out

644
00:43:57,835 --> 00:43:59,555
Speaker 1: of his cubby hole and told us it was not

645
00:43:59,675 --> 00:44:04,635
Speaker 1: our train, but the twelve forty five from New York northbound. Presently,

646
00:44:04,835 --> 00:44:07,955
Speaker 1: the train thundered in like a hurricane and sighed ponderously

647
00:44:07,995 --> 00:44:10,675
Speaker 1: to a stop. The station master went out into the

648
00:44:10,715 --> 00:44:13,515
Speaker 1: platform and came back. After a minute or two, the

649
00:44:13,555 --> 00:44:18,115
Speaker 1: train got heavily underway again for Canaan. I was opening

650
00:44:18,115 --> 00:44:20,675
Speaker 1: a pack of cigarettes when I heard the station master

651
00:44:20,835 --> 00:44:25,315
Speaker 1: talking on the phone again. This time his words came

652
00:44:25,355 --> 00:44:31,075
Speaker 1: out clearly. He kept repeating one sentence he was saying,

653
00:44:31,955 --> 00:44:35,915
Speaker 1: Conductor Reagan on one four to two. As the lady

654
00:44:36,235 --> 00:44:40,675
Speaker 1: the office was talking about. The person on the other

655
00:44:40,755 --> 00:44:42,275
Speaker 1: end of the line did not appear to get the

656
00:44:42,315 --> 00:44:45,635
Speaker 1: meaning of the sentence. The station master repeated it and

657
00:44:45,795 --> 00:44:49,355
Speaker 1: hung up. For some reason. I figured that he did

658
00:44:49,395 --> 00:44:54,755
Speaker 1: not understand it either. Sylvia's eyes had the lost reflective

659
00:44:54,795 --> 00:44:56,835
Speaker 1: look they wear when she's trying to remember in what

660
00:44:56,915 --> 00:45:01,035
Speaker 1: box she packed the Christmas tree ornaments. The expressions on

661
00:45:01,075 --> 00:45:03,875
Speaker 1: the faces of the older woman, the young lady, and

662
00:45:03,955 --> 00:45:06,875
Speaker 1: the man with the pipe had not changed. The little

663
00:45:06,915 --> 00:45:11,075
Speaker 1: staring girl had gone away. Our train was not due

664
00:45:11,075 --> 00:45:13,115
Speaker 1: for another five minutes, and I sat back and began

665
00:45:13,195 --> 00:45:16,195
Speaker 1: trying to reconstruct the lady. On one four to two

666
00:45:16,595 --> 00:45:21,275
Speaker 1: the lady Conductor Reagan, had the lady the office was

667
00:45:21,355 --> 00:45:27,795
Speaker 1: asking about. I moved nearer to Sylvia and whispered, seeing

668
00:45:27,835 --> 00:45:32,075
Speaker 1: if the trains are numbered in your timetable. She got

669
00:45:32,155 --> 00:45:34,155
Speaker 1: the timetable out of her handbag and looked at it.

670
00:45:35,435 --> 00:45:38,635
Speaker 1: One forty two, she said, is the twelve forty five

671
00:45:38,635 --> 00:45:41,995
Speaker 1: from New York. This was the train that had gone

672
00:45:41,995 --> 00:45:44,795
Speaker 1: by a few minutes before the woman was taken sick,

673
00:45:45,035 --> 00:45:47,915
Speaker 1: said Sylvia. They're probably arranging to have a doctor or

674
00:45:47,915 --> 00:45:51,715
Speaker 1: her family meet her. The older woman looked around at

675
00:45:51,715 --> 00:45:54,035
Speaker 1: her briefly. The young woman, who had been chewing gum

676
00:45:54,155 --> 00:45:58,635
Speaker 1: stopped chewing. The man with the pipe seemed oblivious. I

677
00:45:58,795 --> 00:46:02,515
Speaker 1: lighted a cigarette and sat thinking. The woman on one

678
00:46:02,715 --> 00:46:06,315
Speaker 1: four to two. I said to Sylvia flatly, might be

679
00:46:06,675 --> 00:46:12,955
Speaker 1: almost anything, but she is definitely not sick. The only

680
00:46:12,995 --> 00:46:14,675
Speaker 1: person who did not stare at me was the man

681
00:46:14,715 --> 00:46:18,875
Speaker 1: with the pipe. Sylvia gave me her temperature taking look

682
00:46:18,915 --> 00:46:23,235
Speaker 1: across between anxiety and vexation. Just then our train whistled

683
00:46:23,235 --> 00:46:25,915
Speaker 1: and we all stood up. I picked up our two bags,

684
00:46:25,915 --> 00:46:28,315
Speaker 1: and Sylvia took the sack of string beans we had

685
00:46:28,315 --> 00:46:32,395
Speaker 1: picked up for the Connals. When the train came clanking in,

686
00:46:32,475 --> 00:46:37,155
Speaker 1: I said in Sylvia's ear, he'll sit near us. You

687
00:46:37,235 --> 00:46:43,075
Speaker 1: watch hoo, who will she said, the stranger? I told

688
00:46:43,115 --> 00:46:47,315
Speaker 1: her the man with the pipe. Sylvia laughed, He's not

689
00:46:47,395 --> 00:46:51,595
Speaker 1: a stranger. She said, he works for the breeds. I

690
00:46:51,715 --> 00:46:54,355
Speaker 1: was certainly that he did not work for the breeds.

691
00:46:55,155 --> 00:46:59,275
Speaker 1: Women like to place people. Every stranger reminds him of somebody.

692
00:46:59,955 --> 00:47:02,515
Speaker 1: The man with the pipe was sitting three seats in

693
00:47:02,555 --> 00:47:05,155
Speaker 1: front of us, across the aisle. When we got settled,

694
00:47:05,595 --> 00:47:09,435
Speaker 1: I indicated him with a nod of my head. Sylvia

695
00:47:09,475 --> 00:47:11,395
Speaker 1: took a book out of the top of her overnight

696
00:47:11,435 --> 00:47:15,235
Speaker 1: bag and opened it. What's the matter with you, she demanded.

697
00:47:15,995 --> 00:47:19,675
Speaker 1: I looked around before replying. A sleepy man and woman

698
00:47:19,755 --> 00:47:22,475
Speaker 1: sat across from us. Two middle aged women in the

699
00:47:22,515 --> 00:47:25,875
Speaker 1: seat in front of us were discussing the severe griping

700
00:47:26,035 --> 00:47:28,715
Speaker 1: pain one of them had experienced as a result of

701
00:47:29,155 --> 00:47:35,595
Speaker 1: inflamed diverticulitis. A slim, dark eyed young woman sat in

702
00:47:35,635 --> 00:47:40,595
Speaker 1: the seat behind us. She was alone. The trouble with women,

703
00:47:41,035 --> 00:47:45,035
Speaker 1: I began, is that they explain everything by illness. I

704
00:47:45,075 --> 00:47:47,635
Speaker 1: have a theory that we could be celebrating the twelfth

705
00:47:47,675 --> 00:47:50,635
Speaker 1: of May, or even the sixteenth of April as Independence

706
00:47:50,715 --> 00:47:54,195
Speaker 1: day if missus Jefferson hadn't got the idea. Her husband

707
00:47:54,235 --> 00:47:58,795
Speaker 1: had a fever and put him to bed. Sylvia found

708
00:47:58,795 --> 00:48:02,035
Speaker 1: her place in the book. We've been all through that before.

709
00:48:02,435 --> 00:48:06,875
Speaker 1: She said, why could the woman on one be sick?

710
00:48:08,595 --> 00:48:12,155
Speaker 1: That was easy, I told her. Conductor Reagan, I said,

711
00:48:12,355 --> 00:48:15,515
Speaker 1: got off the train at Cornwall Bridge and spoke to

712
00:48:15,595 --> 00:48:19,395
Speaker 1: the station master. I've got the woman the office was

713
00:48:19,555 --> 00:48:24,315
Speaker 1: asking about, he said. Sylvia cut in. He said, Lady,

714
00:48:25,315 --> 00:48:30,195
Speaker 1: I gave the little laugh that annoys her. All conductors say, lady,

715
00:48:30,795 --> 00:48:33,275
Speaker 1: I explained, Now, if a woman had got sick on

716
00:48:33,315 --> 00:48:36,555
Speaker 1: the train, Reagan would have said a woman got sick

717
00:48:36,595 --> 00:48:40,115
Speaker 1: on my train. Tell the office. What must have happened

718
00:48:40,475 --> 00:48:44,195
Speaker 1: is that Reagan found somewhere between Kent and Cornwall Bridge

719
00:48:44,235 --> 00:48:49,475
Speaker 1: a woman the office had been looking for. Sylvia did

720
00:48:49,515 --> 00:48:52,955
Speaker 1: not close her book, but she looked up. Maybe she

721
00:48:53,075 --> 00:48:55,275
Speaker 1: got sick before she got on the train, and the

722
00:48:55,315 --> 00:48:59,875
Speaker 1: office was worried, said Sylvia. She was not giving the

723
00:48:59,915 --> 00:49:03,795
Speaker 1: problem close attention. If the office knew she got on

724
00:49:03,835 --> 00:49:08,195
Speaker 1: the train, I said, patiently, they wouldn't have asked Reagan

725
00:49:08,635 --> 00:49:11,755
Speaker 1: to let them know if he found her. They would

726
00:49:11,755 --> 00:49:17,435
Speaker 1: have told him about her when she got on. Sylvia

727
00:49:17,475 --> 00:49:20,475
Speaker 1: resumed her reading. Let's stay out of it, she said,

728
00:49:20,595 --> 00:49:24,395
Speaker 1: it isn't any of our business. I hunted for my

729
00:49:24,595 --> 00:49:29,835
Speaker 1: chicklets but couldn't find them. It might be everybody's business,

730
00:49:30,075 --> 00:49:36,755
Speaker 1: I said, every Patriots I know. I know, said Sylvia.

731
00:49:36,995 --> 00:49:40,435
Speaker 1: You think she's a spy, Well, I think she's sick.

732
00:49:42,275 --> 00:49:45,995
Speaker 1: I ignored that every conductor on the line has been

733
00:49:46,075 --> 00:49:49,835
Speaker 1: asked to look out for her. I said, Reagan found her.

734
00:49:50,755 --> 00:49:53,475
Speaker 1: She won't be met by her family. She'll be met

735
00:49:53,515 --> 00:50:01,115
Speaker 1: by the FBI or the OPA, said Sylvia. Alfred Hitchcock.

736
00:50:01,235 --> 00:50:03,315
Speaker 1: Things don't happen on the New York New Haven and

737
00:50:03,395 --> 00:50:07,835
Speaker 1: Hartford Railroad. I saw the conductor coming from the other

738
00:50:07,915 --> 00:50:10,115
Speaker 1: end of the couch. I'm going to tell the conductor,

739
00:50:10,195 --> 00:50:12,595
Speaker 1: I said that Reagan on one four to two has

740
00:50:12,635 --> 00:50:15,155
Speaker 1: got the woman. No you're not, said Sylvia. You're not

741
00:50:15,195 --> 00:50:17,555
Speaker 1: gonna get us in mixed up in this. He probably

742
00:50:17,595 --> 00:50:23,555
Speaker 1: knows anyway. The conductor, short, stocky, silver haired, and silent,

743
00:50:23,795 --> 00:50:28,955
Speaker 1: took up our tickets. He looked like a kindly Icky's Sylvia,

744
00:50:29,155 --> 00:50:32,275
Speaker 1: who had stiffened, relaxed when I let him go by

745
00:50:32,475 --> 00:50:34,635
Speaker 1: without a word about the woman on one four to two.

746
00:50:35,675 --> 00:50:38,435
Speaker 1: He looks exactly as if he knew where the Maltese

747
00:50:38,435 --> 00:50:41,315
Speaker 1: falcon is hidden, doesn't he said Sylvia, with a laugh

748
00:50:41,355 --> 00:50:45,995
Speaker 1: that annoys me. Nevertheless, I pointed out you said a

749
00:50:45,995 --> 00:50:48,075
Speaker 1: little while ago that he probably knows about the woman

750
00:50:48,115 --> 00:50:51,275
Speaker 1: on one four to two. If she's just sick, why

751
00:50:51,315 --> 00:50:55,955
Speaker 1: should they tell the conductor on this train. I'll rest

752
00:50:56,075 --> 00:50:59,395
Speaker 1: more easily when I know that they've actually got her.

753
00:51:00,995 --> 00:51:04,875
Speaker 1: Sylvia kept reading as if she hadn't heard Meileen, my

754
00:51:04,915 --> 00:51:07,355
Speaker 1: head against the back of the seat and closed my eyes.

755
00:51:09,035 --> 00:51:11,755
Speaker 1: The train was slowing down noisily, and a brakeman was

756
00:51:11,835 --> 00:51:18,315
Speaker 1: yelling can't, can't. When I felt a small cold pressure

757
00:51:18,355 --> 00:51:23,355
Speaker 1: against my shoulder. Oh. The voice of the woman in

758
00:51:23,395 --> 00:51:26,115
Speaker 1: the seat behind me said, I've dropped my copy of

759
00:51:26,155 --> 00:51:29,835
Speaker 1: Coronet under your seat. She leaned closer and her voice

760
00:51:29,835 --> 00:51:34,155
Speaker 1: became low and hard. Get off here, mister, she said.

761
00:51:34,915 --> 00:51:38,475
Speaker 1: We're going to Gaylordsville. I said, you and your wife

762
00:51:38,635 --> 00:51:43,475
Speaker 1: are getting off here, mister, she said. I reached for

763
00:51:43,475 --> 00:51:45,715
Speaker 1: the suitcases on the rack. What do you want for

764
00:51:45,755 --> 00:51:50,555
Speaker 1: Heaven's sake, asked Sylvia. We're getting off here? I told her,

765
00:51:51,075 --> 00:51:55,595
Speaker 1: Are you really crazy? She demanded, This is only can't

766
00:51:56,075 --> 00:51:58,955
Speaker 1: come on, sister, said the woman's voice. You take the

767
00:51:58,995 --> 00:52:02,075
Speaker 1: overnight bag and the beans. You take the big bag. Mister.

768
00:52:03,155 --> 00:52:06,595
Speaker 1: Sylvia was furious. I knew you'd get us into this,

769
00:52:06,995 --> 00:52:09,955
Speaker 1: she said to me, shouting about spies at the top

770
00:52:09,995 --> 00:52:14,235
Speaker 1: of your voice. That made me angry. You're the one

771
00:52:14,235 --> 00:52:17,995
Speaker 1: who mentioned spies. I told her I didn't. He kept

772
00:52:17,995 --> 00:52:21,555
Speaker 1: talking about it and talking about it, said Sylvia, come on,

773
00:52:21,675 --> 00:52:24,595
Speaker 1: get off. The two of you, said the cold, hard voice.

774
00:52:25,555 --> 00:52:28,315
Speaker 1: We got off. As I helped Sylvia down the steps,

775
00:52:28,355 --> 00:52:32,955
Speaker 1: I said, we know too much. I'll shut up. She said.

776
00:52:33,995 --> 00:52:37,595
Speaker 1: We didn't have far to go. The big black limousine waited.

777
00:52:37,635 --> 00:52:41,155
Speaker 1: A few steps away. Behind the wheel sat a heavy

778
00:52:41,475 --> 00:52:46,275
Speaker 1: set foreigner with cruel lips and small eyes. He scowled

779
00:52:46,315 --> 00:52:50,075
Speaker 1: when he saw us. The boss don't want nobody up there,

780
00:52:50,315 --> 00:52:54,715
Speaker 1: he said. It's all right, Carl, said the woman get in,

781
00:52:55,075 --> 00:52:57,435
Speaker 1: she told us. We climbed into the back seat. She

782
00:52:57,515 --> 00:52:59,515
Speaker 1: sat between us with the gun in her hand. It

783
00:52:59,555 --> 00:53:04,835
Speaker 1: was a handsome, jeweled derringer. Alice. Will be waiting for

784
00:53:04,915 --> 00:53:10,355
Speaker 1: us at Gaylordsville, said Sylvia in all this heat. The

785
00:53:10,475 --> 00:53:13,315
Speaker 1: house was a long, low, rambling building reached at the

786
00:53:13,395 --> 00:53:17,115
Speaker 1: end of a poplar lined drive. Never mind the bags,

787
00:53:17,315 --> 00:53:20,075
Speaker 1: said the woman. Sylvia took the string beans and her

788
00:53:20,075 --> 00:53:24,795
Speaker 1: book and we got out. Two huge matstiffs came bounding

789
00:53:24,835 --> 00:53:29,995
Speaker 1: off the terrace, snarling. Down Mada, said the woman. Down pedro.

790
00:53:31,115 --> 00:53:36,795
Speaker 1: They slunk away, still snarling. Sylvia and I sat side

791
00:53:36,795 --> 00:53:39,475
Speaker 1: by side on a sofa in a large, handsomely appointed

792
00:53:39,475 --> 00:53:42,475
Speaker 1: living room. Across from us, in a chair lounged a

793
00:53:42,515 --> 00:53:46,515
Speaker 1: tall man with heavily lidded black eyes and long sensitive fingers.

794
00:53:47,195 --> 00:53:49,475
Speaker 1: Against the door through which we had entered the room

795
00:53:49,955 --> 00:53:53,275
Speaker 1: leaned a thin, undersized young man with his hands in

796
00:53:53,315 --> 00:53:55,875
Speaker 1: the pockets of his coat and a cigarette hanging from

797
00:53:55,915 --> 00:53:59,115
Speaker 1: his lower lip. He had a drawn, sallow face, and

798
00:53:59,195 --> 00:54:04,195
Speaker 1: his small, half closed eyes stared at us incuriously. In

799
00:54:04,235 --> 00:54:06,915
Speaker 1: a corner of the room, a squat swarthy man twiddled

800
00:54:06,955 --> 00:54:10,115
Speaker 1: with the dials of a radio. The woman paced up

801
00:54:10,155 --> 00:54:15,555
Speaker 1: and down, smoking a cigarette in a long holder. Well,

802
00:54:15,675 --> 00:54:18,995
Speaker 1: Gail said the lounging man, in a soft voice, to

803
00:54:19,075 --> 00:54:24,195
Speaker 1: what do we owe this unexpected visit? Gail kept pacing.

804
00:54:25,395 --> 00:54:30,115
Speaker 1: They got Sandra, she said. Finally, the lounging man did

805
00:54:30,115 --> 00:54:35,075
Speaker 1: not change expression. Who got Sandra, Gail? He asked softly.

806
00:54:36,235 --> 00:54:40,995
Speaker 1: Reagan on one four to two, said Gail. The squat

807
00:54:41,275 --> 00:54:44,635
Speaker 1: swarthy man jumped to his feet all the time. Egypt

808
00:54:44,675 --> 00:54:48,435
Speaker 1: say kill these Reagan, he shouted all the time. Egypt say,

809
00:54:48,635 --> 00:54:52,515
Speaker 1: bomp off this Reagan. The lounging man did not look

810
00:54:52,515 --> 00:54:56,955
Speaker 1: at him. Sit down, Egypt, he said quietly. The swarthy

811
00:54:56,995 --> 00:55:00,995
Speaker 1: man sat down. Gail went on talking. The punk hear

812
00:55:01,075 --> 00:55:06,195
Speaker 1: shot off his mouth. He said, he was why I

813
00:55:06,235 --> 00:55:09,915
Speaker 1: looked at the man leaning against the door. She means you,

814
00:55:10,475 --> 00:55:16,395
Speaker 1: said Sylvia, who laughed. The dame was dumb. Gail went on.

815
00:55:16,715 --> 00:55:19,715
Speaker 1: She thought the lady on the train was sick. Now

816
00:55:19,835 --> 00:55:24,955
Speaker 1: I laughed. She means you, I said to Sylvia. The

817
00:55:25,035 --> 00:55:27,955
Speaker 1: punk was blowing his top all over the train, said Gail,

818
00:55:28,475 --> 00:55:32,115
Speaker 1: I had to bring him along. Sylvia, who had the

819
00:55:32,155 --> 00:55:36,595
Speaker 1: beans on her lap, began breaking and stringing them. Well,

820
00:55:36,635 --> 00:55:40,715
Speaker 1: my dear lady, said the lounging man. A most homely

821
00:55:40,795 --> 00:55:46,955
Speaker 1: little touch. What's a touch? Demanded Egypt, touch, I told him.

822
00:55:47,315 --> 00:55:50,355
Speaker 1: Gail sat down in a chair. Who's going to rub

823
00:55:50,395 --> 00:55:56,235
Speaker 1: him out? She asked. Fredae, said the lounging man. Egypt

824
00:55:56,315 --> 00:55:59,435
Speaker 1: was on his feet again. Nah nah, he shouted, not

825
00:55:59,635 --> 00:56:03,475
Speaker 1: the punk. The punk bomp off the last six seven people.

826
00:56:04,715 --> 00:56:09,275
Speaker 1: Lounging man looked at him. Egypt paled and sat down.

827
00:56:10,195 --> 00:56:13,915
Speaker 1: I thought you were the punk, said Sylvia. I looked

828
00:56:13,915 --> 00:56:18,915
Speaker 1: at her coldly. I know where I have seen you before,

829
00:56:19,195 --> 00:56:21,675
Speaker 1: I said to the lounging man. It was at Zagreb

830
00:56:21,715 --> 00:56:25,595
Speaker 1: in nineteen twenty seven. Tilden took you in straight sets,

831
00:56:25,955 --> 00:56:31,155
Speaker 1: six loves, six loves, six love. The man's eyes glittered.

832
00:56:31,835 --> 00:56:34,835
Speaker 1: I think I bump off this man myself, he said.

833
00:56:36,475 --> 00:56:40,435
Speaker 1: Freddie walked over and handed to the lounging man an automatic.

834
00:56:41,155 --> 00:56:44,035
Speaker 1: At this moment, the door Freddy had been leaning against

835
00:56:44,275 --> 00:56:48,795
Speaker 1: burst open. And in rushed the man with the pipe, shouting.

836
00:56:49,035 --> 00:56:58,435
Speaker 3: Gail Gale, Gail gaylords Ville. Gailardsville bawled the brakeman. Sylvia

837
00:56:58,555 --> 00:57:01,595
Speaker 3: was shaking me by the arm. Quit mounting, She said,

838
00:57:01,755 --> 00:57:05,955
Speaker 3: everybody's looking at you. I rubbed my forehead with a handkerchief.

839
00:57:06,075 --> 00:57:09,675
Speaker 3: Hurry up, she said. Sylvia said, they don't stop here long.

840
00:57:10,875 --> 00:57:14,595
Speaker 3: I pulled the bags down and we got off. Have

841
00:57:14,715 --> 00:57:19,555
Speaker 3: you got the beans, I asked Sylvia. Alice Connell was

842
00:57:19,595 --> 00:57:21,875
Speaker 3: waiting for us on the way to their home. In

843
00:57:21,915 --> 00:57:24,315
Speaker 3: the car, Sylvia began to tell Alice about the woman

844
00:57:24,355 --> 00:57:27,875
Speaker 3: on one four to two. I didn't say anything. He

845
00:57:28,075 --> 00:57:32,795
Speaker 3: thought she was a spy, said Sylvia. They both laughed.

846
00:57:34,035 --> 00:57:36,675
Speaker 3: She'd probably got sick on the train, said Alice. They

847
00:57:36,675 --> 00:57:38,595
Speaker 3: would probably be arranging for a doctor to meet her

848
00:57:38,635 --> 00:57:42,475
Speaker 3: at the station. That's just what I told him, said Sylvia.

849
00:57:43,955 --> 00:57:48,915
Speaker 3: I lighted a cigarette. The lady on one four to two,

850
00:57:49,755 --> 00:57:58,995
Speaker 3: I said firmly was definitely not sick. Oh, Lord, said Sylvia.

851
00:57:59,435 --> 00:58:05,075
Speaker 3: Here we go again. The lady on one fourth two

852
00:58:06,315 --> 00:58:22,795
Speaker 3: by James Thurber, Oh, how I love that one.

853
00:58:22,875 --> 00:58:25,315
Speaker 1: I have never gotten on a train since the first

854
00:58:25,395 --> 00:58:29,315
Speaker 1: time I read that one, which was probably forty years ago,

855
00:58:30,035 --> 00:58:32,395
Speaker 1: never gotten on a train in summer in the daytime

856
00:58:32,435 --> 00:58:34,995
Speaker 1: without thinking about the lady on one four to two.

857
00:58:35,715 --> 00:58:37,395
Speaker 1: I've done all the damage I can do here. Thank
