1 00:00:04,795 --> 00:00:25,555 Speaker 1: Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. While 2 00:00:25,675 --> 00:00:31,635 Speaker 1: he's here, you know what, Let's arrest Putin. There's an 3 00:00:31,715 --> 00:00:35,435 Speaker 1: arrest warrant for him from the International Criminal Court. Sure 4 00:00:35,435 --> 00:00:38,995 Speaker 1: we're not a member country, because well, Trump and his 5 00:00:39,275 --> 00:00:44,395 Speaker 1: co conspirator Dictatorship are criminals. That would be awkward. And 6 00:00:44,435 --> 00:00:46,635 Speaker 1: whether you want to call it collusion or conspiracy or 7 00:00:46,675 --> 00:00:51,115 Speaker 1: simple ownership, Putin still runs Trump. But while he's here, 8 00:00:51,235 --> 00:00:55,675 Speaker 1: let's arrest Vladimir Putin. The one and twenty five member 9 00:00:55,755 --> 00:00:58,875 Speaker 1: states of the International Criminal Court have been looking to 10 00:00:58,915 --> 00:01:03,595 Speaker 1: put Putin away, most recently for kidnapping thousands of Ukrainian 11 00:01:03,715 --> 00:01:07,235 Speaker 1: children and forcing them to speak Russian and pretending they 12 00:01:07,235 --> 00:01:10,995 Speaker 1: are without homes or they've been abandoned or their refugees 13 00:01:11,195 --> 00:01:14,195 Speaker 1: literally the sick joke about killing the parents and then 14 00:01:14,275 --> 00:01:17,835 Speaker 1: claiming what's left over is orphans. The one hundred and 15 00:01:17,835 --> 00:01:20,355 Speaker 1: twenty five member states that have a series of arrest 16 00:01:20,395 --> 00:01:24,195 Speaker 1: warrants for Russia's monsters for all kinds of war crimes 17 00:01:24,195 --> 00:01:30,475 Speaker 1: in Ukraine include the rest of our continent, Canada, and Mexico. 18 00:01:32,395 --> 00:01:34,795 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not gonna happen, but it sure would 19 00:01:34,795 --> 00:01:37,795 Speaker 1: be nice to see the Canadian military move across its 20 00:01:37,835 --> 00:01:42,435 Speaker 1: border into Alaska and take Putin. Who knows, maybe Vladimir 21 00:01:42,515 --> 00:01:45,795 Speaker 1: would hide behind Trump is a human shield. You have 22 00:01:45,835 --> 00:01:52,395 Speaker 1: to admit Trump would make a giant double XL human shield. Finally, 23 00:01:52,435 --> 00:01:58,835 Speaker 1: something useful. Of course, Trump is already a giant double 24 00:01:58,875 --> 00:02:03,675 Speaker 1: excel human shield for Putin. Figuratively, you will recall it 25 00:02:03,715 --> 00:02:06,395 Speaker 1: was Trump who did nothing as Putin and Russia became 26 00:02:06,555 --> 00:02:11,115 Speaker 1: ensconced in Crimea and the don Bas. During Trump's first junta. 27 00:02:11,555 --> 00:02:15,835 Speaker 1: You will recall Trump's asinine campaign promise to settle Russia's 28 00:02:15,835 --> 00:02:20,115 Speaker 1: invasion of Ukraine in one day. I believe we're at 29 00:02:20,155 --> 00:02:24,755 Speaker 1: two hundred and four different one days since since seizing 30 00:02:24,835 --> 00:02:28,835 Speaker 1: power again, Trump has given Putin two weeks to observe 31 00:02:28,875 --> 00:02:31,995 Speaker 1: a ceasefire. When Putin ignored that, Trump gave him another 32 00:02:32,035 --> 00:02:35,275 Speaker 1: two weeks. Then he said he was disappointed in Putin. 33 00:02:35,595 --> 00:02:38,195 Speaker 1: Then he gave him fifty more days. Then he said 34 00:02:38,195 --> 00:02:40,075 Speaker 1: he wondered if Putin was lying to him or what 35 00:02:40,075 --> 00:02:42,915 Speaker 1: had happened to Putin. Then he gave him ten days. 36 00:02:43,315 --> 00:02:46,195 Speaker 1: Then when those ten days ran out, he offered to 37 00:02:46,355 --> 00:02:50,875 Speaker 1: meet with Putin. Not Putin, and Zelenski just Putin, and 38 00:02:50,915 --> 00:02:53,755 Speaker 1: when the small problem of where to meet came up, 39 00:02:53,955 --> 00:02:56,275 Speaker 1: Putin would be arrested in nearly all of those one 40 00:02:56,355 --> 00:03:04,875 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five ICC member nations. Trump volunteered our house, Alaska. 41 00:03:06,235 --> 00:03:10,275 Speaker 1: This asshole lies to Trump about Ukraine five times that 42 00:03:10,315 --> 00:03:15,115 Speaker 1: we know of, and Trump responds by inviting this butcher. 43 00:03:15,515 --> 00:03:22,755 Speaker 1: This would be Stalin into our country unless you brought 44 00:03:22,835 --> 00:03:26,315 Speaker 1: him here to drop twenty tons of shit on his head. 45 00:03:27,195 --> 00:03:35,595 Speaker 1: Fu Trump. Also, Trump's special envoy dealing with Russia is 46 00:03:35,715 --> 00:03:41,315 Speaker 1: either a moron or deliberately stalling for Putin, or both. 47 00:03:42,275 --> 00:03:46,275 Speaker 1: This is that clown Witkof, not that clown Lutnik or 48 00:03:46,315 --> 00:03:50,355 Speaker 1: that clown Huckabee or that clown Kellogg or that clown Vance. 49 00:03:51,595 --> 00:03:55,715 Speaker 1: The German news outlet Build reports that Witkof is such 50 00:03:55,755 --> 00:03:59,755 Speaker 1: a nitwit that, when he met with Putin, demanded as 51 00:03:59,835 --> 00:04:04,435 Speaker 1: a starting point for any ceasefire negotiations the starting point 52 00:04:04,835 --> 00:04:10,315 Speaker 1: that Ukrainian forces be withdrawn from those parts of Ukraine 53 00:04:10,395 --> 00:04:16,035 Speaker 1: Putin falsely claims are his. Witkoff promptly decided that what 54 00:04:16,075 --> 00:04:20,115 Speaker 1: Putin had said was he was offering to withdraw Russian 55 00:04:20,195 --> 00:04:26,115 Speaker 1: forces from those parts of Ukraine. Honest to God life 56 00:04:26,155 --> 00:04:29,635 Speaker 1: in prison. I thought you said life out of prison. 57 00:04:32,555 --> 00:04:35,395 Speaker 1: The Wall Street Journal has since confirmed this German report. 58 00:04:35,435 --> 00:04:37,555 Speaker 1: In fact, Whitkof has now told at least three different 59 00:04:37,675 --> 00:04:41,995 Speaker 1: versions of the phony Ukraine peace deal from Russia, one 60 00:04:42,475 --> 00:04:46,075 Speaker 1: or two or all three of which are the nonsensical 61 00:04:46,115 --> 00:04:50,155 Speaker 1: basis for inviting this scumbag Putin here to our country 62 00:04:50,475 --> 00:04:56,955 Speaker 1: without a plan to detain him. Here's what Murdoch's paper wrote, quote. 63 00:04:57,035 --> 00:05:01,555 Speaker 1: The European counterproposal concludes a week of frantic diplomacy triggered 64 00:05:01,555 --> 00:05:05,915 Speaker 1: by Putin's overture to Whitkof. After the two men met 65 00:05:05,955 --> 00:05:09,715 Speaker 1: at the Kremlin, Trump summoned a call with select European 66 00:05:09,795 --> 00:05:13,835 Speaker 1: leaders and Zelensky to brief them on the proposal. On 67 00:05:13,875 --> 00:05:17,595 Speaker 1: the call, Trump suggested that Russia would be ready to 68 00:05:17,635 --> 00:05:22,995 Speaker 1: withdraw from the southern region of Zapparizia and Kherson in 69 00:05:23,075 --> 00:05:30,035 Speaker 1: exchange for full control of Dunnetsk. That's the first version. However, 70 00:05:30,355 --> 00:05:33,915 Speaker 1: here comes the second version. Witkoff walked back that claim 71 00:05:33,995 --> 00:05:36,715 Speaker 1: the next day in a call with the chief aids 72 00:05:36,835 --> 00:05:41,795 Speaker 1: of European leaders, suggesting that Russia would both withdraw and 73 00:05:42,555 --> 00:05:48,475 Speaker 1: freeze the front line. It's two different things. The third one. 74 00:05:48,675 --> 00:05:52,195 Speaker 1: On Friday, European officials demanded a third call with WITCOF 75 00:05:52,435 --> 00:05:57,155 Speaker 1: to clarify the growing confusion about what Putin actually proposed. 76 00:05:57,595 --> 00:06:01,275 Speaker 1: In that call, WITCOF clearly stated that the only offer 77 00:06:01,315 --> 00:06:05,275 Speaker 1: on the table was for Ukraine to withdraw unilaterally from 78 00:06:05,355 --> 00:06:13,435 Speaker 1: Donetsk in exchange for a ceasefire. Vance, Rubio, and Kellogg 79 00:06:13,635 --> 00:06:16,995 Speaker 1: attended some of the calls, which is of course the 80 00:06:17,035 --> 00:06:21,275 Speaker 1: same thing as Vance, Rubio, and Kellogg not attending any 81 00:06:21,275 --> 00:06:24,715 Speaker 1: of the calls. There are a lot of stupid people 82 00:06:24,755 --> 00:06:28,195 Speaker 1: working with Donald Trump. He surrounds himself with the best 83 00:06:28,235 --> 00:06:30,515 Speaker 1: of the stupid people. In fact, he looks for people 84 00:06:30,515 --> 00:06:34,915 Speaker 1: who are stupider than he is. To paraphrase Rodney Dangerfield, 85 00:06:34,995 --> 00:06:37,155 Speaker 1: if you want to look smart, surround yourself with a 86 00:06:37,155 --> 00:06:43,555 Speaker 1: bunch of wit Coffs, Vance's, Rubios and Kellogg's. But whit 87 00:06:43,635 --> 00:06:50,795 Speaker 1: Cooff may be the stupidest outstanding work. Trump a moron 88 00:06:51,235 --> 00:06:56,155 Speaker 1: actually found to negotiate for him, to negotiate for us, 89 00:06:56,195 --> 00:07:02,115 Speaker 1: theoretically to negotiate for Ukraine an even bigger moron. And 90 00:07:02,275 --> 00:07:07,235 Speaker 1: based on this guy's moronity, we are admitting Putin to 91 00:07:07,355 --> 00:07:11,955 Speaker 1: this country. Hey call that hitler guy see if he 92 00:07:11,995 --> 00:07:16,635 Speaker 1: wants to come to By the way, Putin actually did 93 00:07:16,835 --> 00:07:21,395 Speaker 1: offer a concession in these negotiations, not to Ukraine, not 94 00:07:21,555 --> 00:07:24,995 Speaker 1: to achieve peace, but he offered a concession to Trump. 95 00:07:25,035 --> 00:07:31,075 Speaker 1: And what is that concession to meet him in Alaska? 96 00:07:31,435 --> 00:07:37,235 Speaker 1: To go to Alaska? Going to Alaska? Is the concession Alaska? 97 00:07:37,315 --> 00:07:40,835 Speaker 1: Or is the Russians call it Russian America. That's the 98 00:07:41,035 --> 00:07:45,875 Speaker 1: win he's giving to Trump to condescend to come to 99 00:07:45,995 --> 00:07:50,035 Speaker 1: our country and not get arrested, because he knows Trump 100 00:07:50,315 --> 00:07:54,635 Speaker 1: desperately needs something he can pretend is a win, a triumph, 101 00:07:54,755 --> 00:08:02,675 Speaker 1: a deal statesmanship, something other than Epstein. So when this 102 00:08:02,795 --> 00:08:08,755 Speaker 1: meeting happens and Putin pitches something like who knows Ukraine 103 00:08:08,875 --> 00:08:12,755 Speaker 1: is just erase from all maps tomorrow? And Trump endorses it. 104 00:08:12,795 --> 00:08:17,555 Speaker 1: Because Trump so desperately wants a Nobel Peace Prize, or, 105 00:08:17,635 --> 00:08:21,115 Speaker 1: as Caroline Levitt calls it, the Nobel Peace Prize, Trump 106 00:08:21,155 --> 00:08:25,115 Speaker 1: will endorse anything that might get a Nobel Peace Prize 107 00:08:25,115 --> 00:08:28,955 Speaker 1: for him. When Trump endorses it and Zelenski rejects it, 108 00:08:28,995 --> 00:08:32,995 Speaker 1: Trump will start hating Zelensky again and blaming him, because 109 00:08:32,995 --> 00:08:39,235 Speaker 1: this is about Trump getting a prize he hosted Azerbaijan 110 00:08:39,315 --> 00:08:43,275 Speaker 1: and Armenia last week because he wants a prize. He 111 00:08:43,315 --> 00:08:49,875 Speaker 1: didn't know what an Azerbaijan is. He just wants a prize, 112 00:08:50,195 --> 00:08:53,835 Speaker 1: a major prize, a major prize. Like the father in 113 00:08:53,875 --> 00:08:56,515 Speaker 1: the movie A Christmas Story wanted a major prize. He 114 00:08:56,635 --> 00:09:00,275 Speaker 1: just wants a major prize, a nice glowing mesh stocking 115 00:09:00,355 --> 00:09:09,955 Speaker 1: leg lamp to put in his window, A noble leg prize. 116 00:09:10,915 --> 00:09:13,075 Speaker 1: I take back what I said about arresting Putin while 117 00:09:13,075 --> 00:09:16,835 Speaker 1: he's here. Arrest Putin and Trump and this buffoon witcoff 118 00:09:17,435 --> 00:09:46,675 Speaker 1: own Caroline Levitt to the idiot. So the Vice president 119 00:09:46,875 --> 00:09:49,915 Speaker 1: is covering up a secret conspiracy meeting that was held 120 00:09:50,555 --> 00:09:53,995 Speaker 1: to cover up the secret conspiracy Trump cover up of 121 00:09:54,275 --> 00:10:00,835 Speaker 1: Trump Stein got it? You will recall that somebody leaked 122 00:10:00,835 --> 00:10:04,275 Speaker 1: that Advance was supposed to host Vance evidently taking a 123 00:10:04,315 --> 00:10:06,595 Speaker 1: day off from his exhausting schedule of back to back 124 00:10:06,635 --> 00:10:10,635 Speaker 1: to back vacations. Vance was supposed to host for dinner 125 00:10:11,155 --> 00:10:15,475 Speaker 1: at the Vice President's residence last Wednesday. White House Chief 126 00:10:15,515 --> 00:10:20,395 Speaker 1: of Staff Susie Wiles, Attorney General Blondie FBI director Keep 127 00:10:20,435 --> 00:10:23,555 Speaker 1: Your Eye on the Ball Patel, and Deputy Attorney General 128 00:10:23,595 --> 00:10:29,755 Speaker 1: Todd Blanche visibly to discuss the ongoing Trump Epstein crisis, 129 00:10:29,795 --> 00:10:33,195 Speaker 1: specifically what to do with the tape and the transcript 130 00:10:33,235 --> 00:10:38,315 Speaker 1: of Trump's first deal with Glaine Maxwell, where he flew 131 00:10:38,475 --> 00:10:41,475 Speaker 1: Todd Blanche to her prison cell and Blanche gave her 132 00:10:41,475 --> 00:10:44,795 Speaker 1: immunity for two days and then Presto chaninjo she wound 133 00:10:44,875 --> 00:10:48,075 Speaker 1: up being moved from that prison cell to a club 134 00:10:48,235 --> 00:10:54,035 Speaker 1: fed jail camp in Texas. Release the tape, burn the tape, 135 00:10:54,555 --> 00:10:58,555 Speaker 1: claim the tape is missing a minute, do something about 136 00:10:58,555 --> 00:11:01,955 Speaker 1: whatever crisis it presented, depending on whatever it was that 137 00:11:01,995 --> 00:11:06,075 Speaker 1: Maxwell revealed about Trump or threatened with or whatever during 138 00:11:06,115 --> 00:11:10,635 Speaker 1: that meeting. Vance and the others immediately denied there was 139 00:11:10,675 --> 00:11:14,515 Speaker 1: such a meeting. It was fake news. It was they lied. 140 00:11:15,995 --> 00:11:18,195 Speaker 1: It now turns out that to make it technically not 141 00:11:18,275 --> 00:11:21,115 Speaker 1: a lie, they had the dinner all right with all 142 00:11:21,235 --> 00:11:23,875 Speaker 1: those people and talked about Epstein. They just did not 143 00:11:23,995 --> 00:11:27,715 Speaker 1: have it at the Vice President's residence at the Naval Observatory. 144 00:11:27,755 --> 00:11:31,515 Speaker 1: They moved it to the White House. That way. When 145 00:11:31,595 --> 00:11:34,235 Speaker 1: they said they sure as hell were not meeting about 146 00:11:34,235 --> 00:11:38,715 Speaker 1: Epstein Advance's residents, they weren't lying. They were meeting about 147 00:11:38,715 --> 00:11:44,595 Speaker 1: Epstein at Trump's residence. We still don't know what happened, 148 00:11:44,795 --> 00:11:47,675 Speaker 1: except for the fact that the lead has been buried 149 00:11:47,715 --> 00:11:50,195 Speaker 1: by those who broke that story, and then those who 150 00:11:50,195 --> 00:11:53,555 Speaker 1: broke that story that the venue was changed, and by 151 00:11:53,595 --> 00:11:56,755 Speaker 1: those few news organizations that have brought it up since 152 00:11:56,995 --> 00:12:02,955 Speaker 1: the lead is why we're vance Wiles, Bondi, Patel, and 153 00:12:03,035 --> 00:12:09,635 Speaker 1: Blanche meeting about Epstein, about Gallaine Maxwell without Trump being there? 154 00:12:11,235 --> 00:12:14,835 Speaker 1: Where was Trump? Why would they meet about Epstein and 155 00:12:14,875 --> 00:12:19,475 Speaker 1: not have Trump there? Because whether there's a picture of 156 00:12:19,515 --> 00:12:22,475 Speaker 1: Trump on every page if the Epstein files, or there's 157 00:12:22,515 --> 00:12:25,755 Speaker 1: literally sworn testimony in them from every victim saying Trump 158 00:12:25,835 --> 00:12:30,155 Speaker 1: was not involved, the Trump conspiratorial mob's interest in the 159 00:12:30,155 --> 00:12:36,755 Speaker 1: Epstein case is Trump period. So it wasn't like he 160 00:12:36,875 --> 00:12:43,515 Speaker 1: wasn't there because he was golfing at Sunset. We are 161 00:12:43,555 --> 00:12:47,915 Speaker 1: all left speculating. Seems to me pretty clear they needed 162 00:12:47,915 --> 00:12:53,195 Speaker 1: to figure out what to do about Trump whenever whatever 163 00:12:53,355 --> 00:12:57,275 Speaker 1: was in the files or whatever was in Maxwell's conversations 164 00:12:57,315 --> 00:13:00,515 Speaker 1: with Blanche got out, or how to keep it from 165 00:13:00,595 --> 00:13:03,915 Speaker 1: getting out, or how to keep Trump from finding out, 166 00:13:04,875 --> 00:13:07,715 Speaker 1: or who to get in as the new president of 167 00:13:07,835 --> 00:13:10,195 Speaker 1: what was in there about Trump was really really bad. 168 00:13:11,715 --> 00:13:15,195 Speaker 1: I mean it's a cover up. It's obviously a cover up. 169 00:13:15,595 --> 00:13:19,235 Speaker 1: That's not a conclusion. Trump keeps saying it's a cover up. 170 00:13:19,795 --> 00:13:22,715 Speaker 1: He keeps saying he has to protect people who would 171 00:13:22,755 --> 00:13:28,675 Speaker 1: be hurt by the truth. He meanders around that basic line. 172 00:13:28,675 --> 00:13:31,555 Speaker 1: But that's what he's saying, again and again. We can't 173 00:13:31,595 --> 00:13:36,235 Speaker 1: release it because innocent people may be hurt. Innocent meaning 174 00:13:36,515 --> 00:13:40,275 Speaker 1: him and his relatives. That is the definition of a 175 00:13:40,395 --> 00:13:44,115 Speaker 1: cover up. We have the information, we're not going to 176 00:13:44,195 --> 00:13:51,915 Speaker 1: tell you. Cover up. Let's talk cover up. Make sure 177 00:13:51,955 --> 00:13:54,995 Speaker 1: Trump is not there? Why not? Well, the cover up 178 00:13:55,075 --> 00:14:00,035 Speaker 1: is about him. Happily, just as those of us still 179 00:14:00,075 --> 00:14:02,475 Speaker 1: paying attention to Trump's steen were worrying that it might 180 00:14:02,515 --> 00:14:06,355 Speaker 1: be losing steam as a news story, here comes JV. Vance, 181 00:14:06,835 --> 00:14:09,835 Speaker 1: not on vacation for the second time in a week. 182 00:14:09,915 --> 00:14:14,075 Speaker 1: What is there an asteroid about to hit the earth? JV. 183 00:14:14,275 --> 00:14:17,555 Speaker 1: Vance goes on Maria Bartiromo's Sunday Fox Show. And by 184 00:14:17,555 --> 00:14:20,355 Speaker 1: the way, he's wearing more makeup and eyeliner than she is, 185 00:14:21,275 --> 00:14:23,995 Speaker 1: and she wears a lot. And how in the hell 186 00:14:23,995 --> 00:14:26,315 Speaker 1: has he gotten away with this for a year as 187 00:14:26,355 --> 00:14:28,955 Speaker 1: the number two person in the Let's kill all the 188 00:14:29,075 --> 00:14:33,115 Speaker 1: drag Queens party. I mean, I'm opposed to this. I 189 00:14:33,155 --> 00:14:36,235 Speaker 1: have nothing against drag queens, but at some point are 190 00:14:36,315 --> 00:14:39,715 Speaker 1: any of these cultists going to come down from whatever 191 00:14:39,835 --> 00:14:44,995 Speaker 1: drug they are all high on. We hate drag queens. 192 00:14:46,235 --> 00:14:50,475 Speaker 1: What's that on Vance's face? Anyway? JV goes on with 193 00:14:50,515 --> 00:14:53,715 Speaker 1: Bartiromo and says, quote, we know that Jeffrey Epstein had 194 00:14:53,755 --> 00:14:56,835 Speaker 1: a lot of connections with left wing politicians and left 195 00:14:56,875 --> 00:15:01,355 Speaker 1: wing billionaires. Democrat billionaires and Democrat political leaders went to 196 00:15:01,395 --> 00:15:04,395 Speaker 1: Epstein Island all the time. Who knows what they did, 197 00:15:05,595 --> 00:15:09,355 Speaker 1: which raises two points JV. One, if that's how you 198 00:15:09,435 --> 00:15:13,035 Speaker 1: read it, boy, why haven't you released the files? If 199 00:15:13,035 --> 00:15:17,635 Speaker 1: this is a treasure trove of details about Democrat billionaires 200 00:15:17,675 --> 00:15:21,115 Speaker 1: and left wing billionaires and Democrat political leaders and left 201 00:15:21,155 --> 00:15:23,995 Speaker 1: wing politicians going to Epstein Island and who knows what 202 00:15:24,075 --> 00:15:27,755 Speaker 1: they did? Isn't this the kind of stuff you MAGA 203 00:15:27,875 --> 00:15:32,955 Speaker 1: scum make sure goes public even when it doesn't really exist. 204 00:15:33,395 --> 00:15:40,355 Speaker 1: Why are you suddenly covering up for them? The second point, 205 00:15:40,395 --> 00:15:43,955 Speaker 1: of course, is that throughout the Epstein era, one of 206 00:15:43,995 --> 00:15:49,155 Speaker 1: those left wing politician, left wing billionaire Democratic billionaire Democratic 207 00:15:49,155 --> 00:15:57,395 Speaker 1: political leaders registered Democrats was Donald Trump. Oh, I get it. 208 00:15:58,315 --> 00:16:01,115 Speaker 1: That second point I just made there that explains my 209 00:16:01,235 --> 00:16:06,435 Speaker 1: first point. That's yeah, what we are seeing is clearly 210 00:16:06,475 --> 00:16:10,275 Speaker 1: the outcome of dinner with JV and Susie Wiles. When 211 00:16:10,315 --> 00:16:15,915 Speaker 1: Trump does something new, suddenly, irrationally. That's my next item 212 00:16:15,955 --> 00:16:18,475 Speaker 1: about this nutso demand that the homeless move out of DC. 213 00:16:18,675 --> 00:16:20,915 Speaker 1: Thank you for your attention to this matter, because all 214 00:16:20,955 --> 00:16:24,755 Speaker 1: homeless people have the truth social app When he does 215 00:16:24,795 --> 00:16:27,475 Speaker 1: something out of the blue, there's always something in the 216 00:16:27,515 --> 00:16:32,555 Speaker 1: background that has actually just thrown him, something so big 217 00:16:32,715 --> 00:16:36,035 Speaker 1: that it got through that haze of mirrors that he 218 00:16:36,155 --> 00:16:39,155 Speaker 1: holds around his own face, so you can always see 219 00:16:39,155 --> 00:16:43,395 Speaker 1: how handsome and beautiful he is. Now, this could be 220 00:16:43,955 --> 00:16:47,275 Speaker 1: a Yugov poll for The Economist, showing that his approval 221 00:16:47,275 --> 00:16:51,555 Speaker 1: among conservatives, while still wildly above water, is not as 222 00:16:51,715 --> 00:16:54,275 Speaker 1: wildly above water as it was just a month ago. 223 00:16:54,475 --> 00:16:58,435 Speaker 1: He was a net plus eighty among conservatives in July, 224 00:16:58,635 --> 00:17:06,155 Speaker 1: and he's a net plus sixty five in August. Reading 225 00:17:06,195 --> 00:17:08,875 Speaker 1: conservative poll numbers is always a risky business, but a 226 00:17:08,875 --> 00:17:11,595 Speaker 1: lot of pole analysts look at the interior numbers in 227 00:17:11,675 --> 00:17:13,955 Speaker 1: this Yugo of Economist poll and they see most of 228 00:17:13,995 --> 00:17:18,915 Speaker 1: his slippage coming over the brutality of ice and much 229 00:17:18,955 --> 00:17:26,355 Speaker 1: more significantly about how they're handling Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Who 230 00:17:26,515 --> 00:17:31,995 Speaker 1: mister katur, mister Katur, I know who net plus sixty 231 00:17:31,995 --> 00:17:37,515 Speaker 1: five is net plus sixty five. But he loses that 232 00:17:37,675 --> 00:17:42,715 Speaker 1: much support among conservatives every month, an admittedly crazy idea 233 00:17:42,755 --> 00:17:45,275 Speaker 1: by itself, But if he loses fifteen points a month, 234 00:17:45,355 --> 00:17:50,195 Speaker 1: by January, he would be underwater among conservatives at minus five. 235 00:17:50,595 --> 00:17:54,995 Speaker 1: So dropping fifteen points in a month is not a 236 00:17:55,035 --> 00:17:59,795 Speaker 1: big one, but it's an iceberg. That's what Susie and 237 00:17:59,915 --> 00:18:03,275 Speaker 1: JV were meeting about, because if he drops five points 238 00:18:03,275 --> 00:18:06,795 Speaker 1: among conservatives every month, by next November, he'll be at 239 00:18:06,995 --> 00:18:12,595 Speaker 1: minus ten among conservatives. And guess what next November is 240 00:18:14,635 --> 00:18:23,395 Speaker 1: now it rhymes with schmid schmerms. Trump is obviously in 241 00:18:23,435 --> 00:18:27,475 Speaker 1: the Epstein files the way Gatsby is in The Great Gatsby. 242 00:18:28,875 --> 00:18:33,955 Speaker 1: So you release none of it, but you keep saying 243 00:18:34,875 --> 00:18:39,795 Speaker 1: maybe you will, and when you do, it'll implicate Nick 244 00:18:39,915 --> 00:18:55,955 Speaker 1: Carraway and especially that meer wolfsheime guy. Trump tried to 245 00:18:55,995 --> 00:18:59,795 Speaker 1: spend his weekend teasing a big press conference for today 246 00:18:59,835 --> 00:19:03,075 Speaker 1: about seizing control of the district of Columbia. But of 247 00:19:03,115 --> 00:19:08,155 Speaker 1: course he couldn't shut up. As I hinted earlier, that's 248 00:19:08,195 --> 00:19:11,395 Speaker 1: his big surprise, to try to break your attention from 249 00:19:11,435 --> 00:19:15,715 Speaker 1: Epstein and the disaster that is his mishandling of Ukraine. 250 00:19:16,315 --> 00:19:17,955 Speaker 1: But by yesterday we knew it was going to be 251 00:19:17,995 --> 00:19:20,915 Speaker 1: an attempt to sweep up the homeless and any suspected criminals, 252 00:19:21,115 --> 00:19:24,195 Speaker 1: like the trash left over from the birthday parade Trump 253 00:19:24,275 --> 00:19:26,955 Speaker 1: threw for himself in Washington. Speaking of which, you want 254 00:19:26,955 --> 00:19:29,515 Speaker 1: to sweep up criminals in d C. Don hope you 255 00:19:29,555 --> 00:19:34,235 Speaker 1: start with the Trump cabinet and your family. The first 256 00:19:34,715 --> 00:19:39,275 Speaker 1: slime who should be rounded up is Howard Lutnik, the 257 00:19:39,355 --> 00:19:44,035 Speaker 1: impossibly skilled Trump ass kisser. Howard used to be a 258 00:19:44,115 --> 00:19:48,875 Speaker 1: sympathetic figure. Catter Fitzgerald was his firm. He was chairman. 259 00:19:49,435 --> 00:19:52,595 Speaker 1: Six hundred and fifty eight of his employees died on 260 00:19:52,675 --> 00:19:57,235 Speaker 1: nine to eleven and thereafter, including two of my college classmates. 261 00:19:58,955 --> 00:20:02,715 Speaker 1: He helped organize fundraising recovery care for the families, treatment 262 00:20:02,755 --> 00:20:07,955 Speaker 1: for the nine to eleven cancer victims. Now now what 263 00:20:07,955 --> 00:20:11,235 Speaker 1: they're rite on his tombstone was he kissed the ass 264 00:20:11,235 --> 00:20:15,235 Speaker 1: of a dictator who just cut sixty four million dollars 265 00:20:15,275 --> 00:20:23,315 Speaker 1: in federal funding for terrorism prevention funding in New York City. Howard, 266 00:20:23,715 --> 00:20:26,675 Speaker 1: you've apparently forgotten this now that you found a new 267 00:20:26,715 --> 00:20:30,115 Speaker 1: life lying on television in service of the devil. But 268 00:20:30,395 --> 00:20:35,435 Speaker 1: New York City is where Canter Fitzgerald and the World 269 00:20:35,515 --> 00:20:41,595 Speaker 1: Trade Center was. I do have a practical suggestion about 270 00:20:41,595 --> 00:20:45,915 Speaker 1: Trump's planned treatment of the homeless in DC, which may 271 00:20:45,955 --> 00:20:48,955 Speaker 1: turn out to rival Putin's treatment of the stray dogs 272 00:20:48,995 --> 00:20:53,355 Speaker 1: in Sochi during the twenty fourteen Winter Olympics. This monstrous 273 00:20:53,515 --> 00:20:57,195 Speaker 1: ninety thousand square foot pile of shit Trump plants to 274 00:20:57,235 --> 00:20:59,555 Speaker 1: put next to the White House, then spray it with 275 00:21:00,195 --> 00:21:05,555 Speaker 1: gold plate and call it a ballroom. Move all homeless 276 00:21:05,595 --> 00:21:09,235 Speaker 1: in there, although I can understand if they are reluctant 277 00:21:09,275 --> 00:21:12,515 Speaker 1: to go in because of the rustolium seven seven one 278 00:21:12,635 --> 00:21:16,275 Speaker 1: zero eight three zero. But Trump is now sprayed on 279 00:21:16,395 --> 00:21:22,075 Speaker 1: everything in the area, including Milania. Just because one is 280 00:21:22,115 --> 00:21:24,955 Speaker 1: homeless does not mean one ceases to have taste and standards, 281 00:21:24,995 --> 00:21:34,035 Speaker 1: which would invariably be better than Donald Trump's. And then 282 00:21:34,035 --> 00:21:36,995 Speaker 1: there's the most underrated story and most underrated villain of 283 00:21:37,035 --> 00:21:40,355 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five Columbia University and my former friend and 284 00:21:40,475 --> 00:21:44,275 Speaker 1: colleague gets co chair and Acting President Claire Neville chamberlainshipman 285 00:21:45,715 --> 00:21:53,355 Speaker 1: her cowardice. Her university's cowardice has inspired cowardice copycats everywhere 286 00:21:53,395 --> 00:21:58,155 Speaker 1: in academia. Everything you ever thought bad about a teacher 287 00:21:58,235 --> 00:22:01,515 Speaker 1: or a professor turns out they went into the management 288 00:22:01,595 --> 00:22:07,035 Speaker 1: of our major universities. Trump is now trying to find 289 00:22:07,075 --> 00:22:14,795 Speaker 1: a way to invalidate patents held by Harvard because because 290 00:22:14,835 --> 00:22:18,555 Speaker 1: this is a dictatorship, and he wants a billion dollars 291 00:22:18,595 --> 00:22:21,475 Speaker 1: from UCLA, or he will cut off research grants to 292 00:22:21,555 --> 00:22:26,475 Speaker 1: UCLA because this is a dictatorship. And he has now 293 00:22:26,555 --> 00:22:32,635 Speaker 1: gotten pen to cancel its equal opportunity scholarships because this 294 00:22:33,075 --> 00:22:38,275 Speaker 1: is a dictatorship. On the other hand, as usual, it 295 00:22:38,395 --> 00:22:41,795 Speaker 1: is the students at these places showing most of the guts. 296 00:22:42,315 --> 00:22:46,435 Speaker 1: The newspaper, The Stanford Daily is suing the Trump administration. 297 00:22:47,635 --> 00:22:51,555 Speaker 1: Stanford is not suing the newspaper run by the students. 298 00:22:51,755 --> 00:22:56,235 Speaker 1: The Stanford Daily is suing the Trump administration over its 299 00:22:56,315 --> 00:23:00,235 Speaker 1: use of immigration laws to target and deport pro Palestinian 300 00:23:00,315 --> 00:23:06,035 Speaker 1: activists because international students on the staff of The Stanford 301 00:23:06,115 --> 00:23:10,075 Speaker 1: Daily are turning down news assignments related to the War 302 00:23:10,155 --> 00:23:15,115 Speaker 1: on Gaza or quote seeking removal of their previous articles 303 00:23:15,195 --> 00:23:19,915 Speaker 1: about it. The lawyers for the student papers say the 304 00:23:19,915 --> 00:23:26,755 Speaker 1: government is actively and retroactively violating the First Amendment. Unlike 305 00:23:26,795 --> 00:23:28,915 Speaker 1: the people they pay their money to and are supposed 306 00:23:28,915 --> 00:23:35,195 Speaker 1: to learn from, they are doing something. I'll say it again. 307 00:23:35,235 --> 00:23:37,795 Speaker 1: You know what would have stopped this, this particular thing 308 00:23:38,435 --> 00:23:42,755 Speaker 1: about academia if when Trump first aimed symbolic rocket launchers 309 00:23:42,795 --> 00:23:46,435 Speaker 1: at Columbia and at his own alma mater, Penn, if 310 00:23:46,475 --> 00:23:49,475 Speaker 1: Penn had said, you go girl, and then announced it 311 00:23:49,515 --> 00:23:52,155 Speaker 1: was withdrawing Trump's degree from the Wharton School at the 312 00:23:52,235 --> 00:23:56,515 Speaker 1: University of Pennsylvania. Or if Penn had merely announced that 313 00:23:56,515 --> 00:24:00,715 Speaker 1: Trump's degree was now under review, a review that will 314 00:24:00,755 --> 00:24:05,435 Speaker 1: take several years because of irregularities discovered in the admissions 315 00:24:05,515 --> 00:24:09,515 Speaker 1: office records of the time, which they had just found 316 00:24:09,835 --> 00:24:15,915 Speaker 1: while looking for DEI stuff at Penn. And you know 317 00:24:15,995 --> 00:24:23,075 Speaker 1: what else, If Penn did that now we're reviewing Trump's degree, 318 00:24:23,195 --> 00:24:26,075 Speaker 1: it will take till the year twenty thirty six. If 319 00:24:26,115 --> 00:24:30,555 Speaker 1: Penn did that now, it would completely push Trump and 320 00:24:30,715 --> 00:24:42,635 Speaker 1: his multiple assholes back on their heels today. Ultimately, of course, 321 00:24:42,835 --> 00:24:45,235 Speaker 1: we're still going to have to defund the federal government. 322 00:24:46,475 --> 00:24:49,355 Speaker 1: That might wait till after the midterms, but at minimum 323 00:24:49,355 --> 00:24:50,995 Speaker 1: going to have to do it no later than January 324 00:24:51,035 --> 00:24:55,035 Speaker 1: twenty one, twenty twenty six. We have to starve Trump out. 325 00:24:55,475 --> 00:24:57,955 Speaker 1: We have to demand he pays a billion dollars or 326 00:24:59,515 --> 00:25:01,035 Speaker 1: any of you guys know how to turn off all 327 00:25:01,075 --> 00:25:05,155 Speaker 1: the electricity to the White House in mary Lago. Worst 328 00:25:05,155 --> 00:25:10,515 Speaker 1: person's next. This is Countdown. This is Countdown with Keith 329 00:25:11,595 --> 00:25:35,635 Speaker 1: Olberman still ahead on this edition of Countdown thirty seven 330 00:25:35,715 --> 00:25:40,675 Speaker 1: years ago. Right now they were getting a press conference ready. 331 00:25:40,715 --> 00:25:44,115 Speaker 1: They were putting it together for that night, the biggest 332 00:25:44,115 --> 00:25:49,515 Speaker 1: one in the history of hockey in California, one of 333 00:25:49,555 --> 00:25:52,995 Speaker 1: the five biggest press conferences in the history of sports 334 00:25:53,835 --> 00:25:57,155 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, and as a vice president of the 335 00:25:57,195 --> 00:25:59,995 Speaker 1: Los Angeles King's hockey team said to me, it's all 336 00:26:00,035 --> 00:26:03,675 Speaker 1: your fault, you bastard. He was smiling at me though 337 00:26:03,675 --> 00:26:06,195 Speaker 1: when he said that. I think it was a smile. 338 00:26:06,795 --> 00:26:11,115 Speaker 1: The story of the greatest story I ever broke, and 339 00:26:11,155 --> 00:26:16,315 Speaker 1: how I did almost nothing to break it. I didn't 340 00:26:16,355 --> 00:26:20,315 Speaker 1: even phone it in. The sources phoned it into me 341 00:26:21,435 --> 00:26:25,355 Speaker 1: next in things I promised not to tell. It's Kretzky 342 00:26:25,435 --> 00:26:28,595 Speaker 1: Day first.

Why it's 346 00:26:41,275 --> 00:26:51,475 Speaker 1: Secretary Christy Nome, Christie Garden, Gnome CHRISTI murder your daughter's dog, Gnome, Christy, 347 00:26:52,675 --> 00:27:00,195 Speaker 1: I'm keeping an entire industry alive, Gnome, reacting to her 348 00:27:00,275 --> 00:27:04,315 Speaker 1: portrayal on South Park. And I'd like to point out 349 00:27:04,315 --> 00:27:06,475 Speaker 1: that the ball all the guardrails that have failed us, 350 00:27:06,515 --> 00:27:10,995 Speaker 1: the one last remaining guardrail, the last line of defense 351 00:27:11,115 --> 00:27:19,195 Speaker 1: surrounding democracy, maybe South Park, Parker and Stone, and that's it. 352 00:27:19,875 --> 00:27:23,395 Speaker 1: Washington Post out the window, the Courts, out the e 353 00:27:23,515 --> 00:27:30,355 Speaker 1: fing window, CBS News out the window, NBC, ABC, out 354 00:27:30,355 --> 00:27:36,555 Speaker 1: the window.

She's not happy with the portrayal, in 358 00:27:53,035 --> 00:27:56,915 Speaker 1: which I believe they kind of represented her as Michael 359 00:27:57,035 --> 00:28:02,875 Speaker 1: Palin's movie or Terry Gilliams movie Brazil portrayed one of 360 00:28:02,915 --> 00:28:09,115 Speaker 1: the characters who's facial work melted one day and they 361 00:28:09,115 --> 00:28:12,315 Speaker 1: were having problems with facial work and the faces just 362 00:28:12,515 --> 00:28:15,875 Speaker 1: melted or turned into goo. And they did that with 363 00:28:16,395 --> 00:28:21,875 Speaker 1: the Secretary Nome, who among our Western monuments, the only 364 00:28:21,955 --> 00:28:24,995 Speaker 1: faces that have had more work than Christy Nomes are 365 00:28:25,035 --> 00:28:31,235 Speaker 1: the ones on Mount Rushmore.

Yeah, so she managed to make her 369 00:28:45,915 --> 00:28:48,195 Speaker 1: lips move long enough to be able to say in 370 00:28:48,355 --> 00:28:52,435 Speaker 1: thou lay John constantly make fun of women for how 371 00:28:52,555 --> 00:28:56,315 Speaker 1: they look. Well, Secretary Nome, we don't just make fun 372 00:28:56,355 --> 00:28:58,395 Speaker 1: of how you look. We make fun of how you talk, 373 00:28:58,475 --> 00:29:00,755 Speaker 1: because you've had so much work done that you can't 374 00:29:00,795 --> 00:29:03,995 Speaker 1: move your mouth anymore. And we make fun, Secretary Nome, 375 00:29:04,115 --> 00:29:07,475 Speaker 1: of the fact that you are a sadist who kills 376 00:29:07,555 --> 00:29:12,355 Speaker 1: animals for pleasure and shoots puppies. And we make fun 377 00:29:12,355 --> 00:29:16,195 Speaker 1: of the fact that you're a clown. We make fun 378 00:29:16,195 --> 00:29:18,595 Speaker 1: of the fact that that you wear a variety of 379 00:29:18,675 --> 00:29:22,315 Speaker 1: action adventure dress up outfits. And pretend to be tough 380 00:29:24,155 --> 00:29:26,675 Speaker 1: and go to jails in other countries and stand in 381 00:29:26,675 --> 00:29:30,075 Speaker 1: front of bunches of nude men in cages like a 382 00:29:30,115 --> 00:29:34,435 Speaker 1: poor an actress. That's what we make fun of, and 383 00:29:34,555 --> 00:29:40,755 Speaker 1: particularly those dress up outfits. Corey Lewandowski doll sold separately, 384 00:29:42,995 --> 00:29:48,515 Speaker 1: runner up worser. Oh, it's ambassador Mike Huckabee. What's interesting 385 00:29:48,595 --> 00:29:51,715 Speaker 1: about Mike Huckabee is, of course his interest in Israel 386 00:29:52,595 --> 00:29:55,795 Speaker 1: is that it be destroyed, but destroyed the right way. 387 00:29:56,235 --> 00:30:00,035 Speaker 1: They want. The fundamentalists, like this lunatic Huckabee and his 388 00:30:00,195 --> 00:30:06,555 Speaker 1: daughter Huckster Huckabee, and his grandson huck Huckabee, they want 389 00:30:06,595 --> 00:30:09,955 Speaker 1: to see a rapture and for the rapture to happen 390 00:30:10,395 --> 00:30:14,235 Speaker 1: in this screwball version of the Bible that they have. 391 00:30:14,635 --> 00:30:18,155 Speaker 1: The Bible being somewhat dubious source to begin with, but 392 00:30:18,235 --> 00:30:22,075 Speaker 1: their screwball version of the Bible, it ends with all 393 00:30:22,155 --> 00:30:27,955 Speaker 1: of the Jews being forcibly converted to screwball Bible religion, 394 00:30:28,035 --> 00:30:35,275 Speaker 1: whichever one it is, fundamental, episca, whatever it is. And 395 00:30:35,635 --> 00:30:39,355 Speaker 1: you know what happens if you don't get converted, if 396 00:30:39,355 --> 00:30:44,155 Speaker 1: you're Jewish. Yeah, the other way to forcibly convert them 397 00:30:44,195 --> 00:30:46,595 Speaker 1: and make sure that they're all converted. Is that you 398 00:30:46,635 --> 00:30:48,755 Speaker 1: don't have any on earth who aren't converted? And how 399 00:30:48,755 --> 00:30:51,075 Speaker 1: do you do that? Yeah, well, we know how people 400 00:30:51,075 --> 00:30:55,195 Speaker 1: have tried this before. That's Huckabee's interest in Israel. That's 401 00:30:55,235 --> 00:30:58,115 Speaker 1: why he is the ambassador to Israel, to make sure 402 00:30:58,115 --> 00:31:02,115 Speaker 1: that when Israel is destroyed, it meets with his biblical approval. 403 00:31:03,795 --> 00:31:08,355 Speaker 1: The Prime Minister of Great Britain here Starmer, Sir here Starmer, 404 00:31:08,875 --> 00:31:13,355 Speaker 1: of whom I have many doubts, but Sir Kir wrote 405 00:31:13,355 --> 00:31:16,755 Speaker 1: that the Israeli government's decision to further escalate its offensive 406 00:31:16,795 --> 00:31:20,555 Speaker 1: in Gaza is wrong and we urge it to reconsider immediately. 407 00:31:20,915 --> 00:31:23,715 Speaker 1: He went on about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and 408 00:31:23,795 --> 00:31:26,915 Speaker 1: made excellent points. He did not go so far as 409 00:31:26,955 --> 00:31:29,715 Speaker 1: to pull the plug on Israel, as Germany seems to 410 00:31:29,715 --> 00:31:33,715 Speaker 1: be about to Hukkabee, and again Hekabee wants to see 411 00:31:33,755 --> 00:31:36,595 Speaker 1: Israel destroyed and all the Jews in the world forcibly 412 00:31:36,635 --> 00:31:40,275 Speaker 1: converted one way or the other. Huckabee writes, with his 413 00:31:40,555 --> 00:31:44,795 Speaker 1: false sincerity, so Israel is expected to surrender to Hamas 414 00:31:44,875 --> 00:31:48,635 Speaker 1: and feed them, even though Israeli hostages are being starved. 415 00:31:48,675 --> 00:31:51,555 Speaker 1: And by the way, remember Mike Khawkabee became famous by 416 00:31:51,675 --> 00:31:56,635 Speaker 1: selling people weight loss cures that, ultimately, as he proved, 417 00:31:57,035 --> 00:32:03,355 Speaker 1: don't effing work. Speaking of starving people, did UK surrender 418 00:32:03,395 --> 00:32:06,195 Speaker 1: to Nazis and drop four to them? Ever heard of 419 00:32:06,315 --> 00:32:09,915 Speaker 1: Dresden PM starmer? That wasn't food you dropped. If you 420 00:32:09,955 --> 00:32:13,755 Speaker 1: had been PM, then UK would be speaking German. If 421 00:32:13,755 --> 00:32:16,035 Speaker 1: you're not in the United States, I'd like to point 422 00:32:16,035 --> 00:32:18,715 Speaker 1: out that I don't know how many of us at 423 00:32:18,795 --> 00:32:22,395 Speaker 1: the moment are infected by this brainworm or the curse 424 00:32:22,555 --> 00:32:26,035 Speaker 1: or whatever it is that's caused the mass lowering of 425 00:32:26,155 --> 00:32:30,235 Speaker 1: IQ and morality in this nation. I don't know if 426 00:32:30,275 --> 00:32:33,155 Speaker 1: it's forty percent or twenty percent. They're just real loud. 427 00:32:33,355 --> 00:32:35,435 Speaker 1: But for those of us who do not have this 428 00:32:35,715 --> 00:32:40,035 Speaker 1: brainworm and or curse, I'd like to once again apologize 429 00:32:40,115 --> 00:32:43,115 Speaker 1: on behalf of all of us in real America for 430 00:32:43,315 --> 00:32:47,595 Speaker 1: things like my cuckaby, and we're guilty of not doing 431 00:32:47,715 --> 00:32:50,755 Speaker 1: enough to stop Mi Kukabe because bluntly, we're just so 432 00:32:50,875 --> 00:32:53,275 Speaker 1: goddamned happy he's not in the country at the moment. 433 00:32:55,275 --> 00:32:59,155 Speaker 1: He's one of our greatest shames. The Charlton Mike Huckabee 434 00:32:59,155 --> 00:33:01,955 Speaker 1: has any role in the United States government, and to 435 00:33:02,115 --> 00:33:05,315 Speaker 1: use his phrasing there, he of course sought the residency 436 00:33:05,515 --> 00:33:10,675 Speaker 1: ran for president in two thousand and eight. Had he 437 00:33:10,795 --> 00:33:15,435 Speaker 1: gained the presidency, we in America, we would all already 438 00:33:15,435 --> 00:33:20,275 Speaker 1: be speaking Russian. Those are the first two nominees, but 439 00:33:20,315 --> 00:33:25,955 Speaker 1: the winner the worst, Pam Blondie, our Attorney general, who 440 00:33:25,995 --> 00:33:29,955 Speaker 1: makes Mike Huckabee seem like Woodrow Wilson, who sounds like 441 00:33:30,035 --> 00:33:33,475 Speaker 1: she has failed hundreds of auditions as the co host 442 00:33:33,915 --> 00:33:40,355 Speaker 1: on late night TV infomercials. Tell me more about these vegetables. Doctor. 443 00:33:41,475 --> 00:33:44,035 Speaker 1: Apparently for a long time, we've had a bounty out 444 00:33:44,075 --> 00:33:52,115 Speaker 1: twenty five million dollars on the scumbag Maduro, the essentially 445 00:33:52,275 --> 00:33:56,195 Speaker 1: dictator of Venezuela, and calls himself, I guess a socialist. 446 00:33:56,475 --> 00:34:01,795 Speaker 1: He's a scumbag. Well, she's just doubled this. By the way, 447 00:34:01,875 --> 00:34:04,235 Speaker 1: I'd just like to point out again she does not 448 00:34:04,755 --> 00:34:09,835 Speaker 1: know how to read any thing allowed, nor does she 449 00:34:09,915 --> 00:34:13,875 Speaker 1: have any ability to modulate or control. 450 00:34:13,315 --> 00:34:17,435 Speaker 2: A volume of her voice. Today, the Department of Justice 451 00:34:17,475 --> 00:34:21,475 Speaker 2: and State Department are announcing a historic fifty million dollar 452 00:34:21,555 --> 00:34:25,515 Speaker 2: reward for information leading to the arrest of Nicholas Maduro. 453 00:34:25,995 --> 00:34:29,115 Speaker 2: Cocaine is often laced with fentanyl, resulting in the loss 454 00:34:29,115 --> 00:34:32,355 Speaker 2: and destruction of countless American lives. 455 00:34:33,115 --> 00:34:36,315 Speaker 1: Boy oh boy, pambody makes Christy Gnomes sound like the 456 00:34:36,435 --> 00:34:42,155 Speaker 1: vintage Kathleen Turner. Am I right, guys, Holy crap. But wait, 457 00:34:42,515 --> 00:34:47,395 Speaker 1: there's a fifty million dollar reward for information leading to 458 00:34:47,435 --> 00:34:51,835 Speaker 1: the arrest of Nicholas Maduro.

Just after dinner, 465 00:35:52,075 --> 00:35:54,315 Speaker 1: the phone rang in my office at Channel five in 466 00:35:54,515 --> 00:35:58,275 Speaker 1: La I am a viewer. I took a deep breath. 467 00:35:58,315 --> 00:36:01,155 Speaker 1: You never knew where a call that started like that 468 00:36:01,435 --> 00:36:03,955 Speaker 1: was going to end up. I just wanted you to know. 469 00:36:04,035 --> 00:36:07,235 Speaker 1: I was out golfing at Riviera at the Riviera Club 470 00:36:07,275 --> 00:36:10,315 Speaker 1: this afternoon and Bruce McNall, the owner of the kings 471 00:36:10,635 --> 00:36:13,035 Speaker 1: Well He just walked through the locker room saying, hey, guys, 472 00:36:13,115 --> 00:36:15,995 Speaker 1: if you want to buy your seasoned Kings tickets, do 473 00:36:16,115 --> 00:36:18,515 Speaker 1: it now. It just traded for Wayne Gretzky. The price 474 00:36:18,555 --> 00:36:22,075 Speaker 1: is going to go up next week. To be polite 475 00:36:22,555 --> 00:36:25,835 Speaker 1: to the viewer, I asked a few questions, but frankly, 476 00:36:25,875 --> 00:36:28,675 Speaker 1: the story was pretty stupid. This was the second week 477 00:36:28,755 --> 00:36:30,755 Speaker 1: of August nineteen eighty eight, and there was a lot 478 00:36:30,795 --> 00:36:33,555 Speaker 1: of talk that the Edmonton Oilers were going to trade 479 00:36:33,595 --> 00:36:36,755 Speaker 1: Wayne Gretzky, the most famous player in hockey, and there 480 00:36:36,795 --> 00:36:38,835 Speaker 1: was nearly as much talk that that trade would send 481 00:36:38,915 --> 00:36:42,115 Speaker 1: him to use in La. But the owner of the 482 00:36:42,235 --> 00:36:47,635 Speaker 1: Kings just telling passers by at random in a golf 483 00:36:47,755 --> 00:36:52,395 Speaker 1: clubhouse that he had just made the trade. I was 484 00:36:52,955 --> 00:36:57,755 Speaker 1: suspicious that I was being pranked. Fifteen minutes later, my 485 00:36:57,795 --> 00:37:00,395 Speaker 1: phone rang again. Hi, I'm a big fan of yours 486 00:37:00,395 --> 00:37:03,235 Speaker 1: and I watch every night. Here we go again. I 487 00:37:03,275 --> 00:37:05,035 Speaker 1: was just having lunch with a friend of mine out 488 00:37:05,035 --> 00:37:07,755 Speaker 1: here at the golf course in bel Air, and like 489 00:37:07,795 --> 00:37:10,715 Speaker 1: an hour later, freaking Bruce McNall shows up in the 490 00:37:10,755 --> 00:37:13,755 Speaker 1: dining room and asks for everybody's attention, and he says 491 00:37:13,755 --> 00:37:17,915 Speaker 1: he's just completed the deal for Wayne Gretzky, and now 492 00:37:18,315 --> 00:37:20,635 Speaker 1: I was beginning to get actually worried. I was a 493 00:37:20,715 --> 00:37:23,355 Speaker 1: lame duck as the sports director of Channel five in 494 00:37:23,355 --> 00:37:25,595 Speaker 1: Los Angeles, and for months there had been rumors that 495 00:37:25,635 --> 00:37:28,115 Speaker 1: I was moving down the street to Channel two in 496 00:37:28,195 --> 00:37:31,835 Speaker 1: Los Angeles. There had been these rumors, mostly because I 497 00:37:32,115 --> 00:37:34,915 Speaker 1: was moving down the street to Channel two. The deal 498 00:37:34,955 --> 00:37:37,675 Speaker 1: had been done months earlier. We were going to announce 499 00:37:37,715 --> 00:37:41,035 Speaker 1: it that week. In fact, as these two guys called in, 500 00:37:41,195 --> 00:37:45,435 Speaker 1: I had actually been busily packing up my Channel five office. 501 00:37:45,475 --> 00:37:48,875 Speaker 1: My thought now was that the sportscaster at the local 502 00:37:48,995 --> 00:37:53,595 Speaker 1: NBC station, who had a bit of a substance problem 503 00:37:53,955 --> 00:37:56,235 Speaker 1: and a nasty temper and a real dislike for the 504 00:37:56,275 --> 00:37:58,955 Speaker 1: fact that I was nearly as popular as he was, 505 00:37:58,955 --> 00:38:02,035 Speaker 1: was setting me up. I had once managed to mislead 506 00:38:02,115 --> 00:38:04,195 Speaker 1: him into thinking we were about to break a story 507 00:38:04,195 --> 00:38:07,635 Speaker 1: about a big LA football trade. There was no breaking 508 00:38:07,635 --> 00:38:10,155 Speaker 1: story because there was no trade, and he had actually 509 00:38:10,235 --> 00:38:13,835 Speaker 1: mentioned it on the air, having clearly stolen it from 510 00:38:13,875 --> 00:38:16,195 Speaker 1: me because I was the one who had made it up. 511 00:38:16,475 --> 00:38:19,475 Speaker 1: And oh was he furious at me for all I 512 00:38:19,555 --> 00:38:22,075 Speaker 1: knew he wanted to embarrass me. Three weeks before I 513 00:38:22,155 --> 00:38:26,155 Speaker 1: moved into direct competition with him at five, six and eleven. 514 00:38:26,515 --> 00:38:29,395 Speaker 1: This August eighth, nineteen eighty eight was in fact my 515 00:38:29,435 --> 00:38:31,915 Speaker 1: first day back after I had burned all my Channel 516 00:38:31,955 --> 00:38:35,235 Speaker 1: five vacation time, and for all I knew, this guy 517 00:38:35,275 --> 00:38:37,635 Speaker 1: at NBC had been having his staffers call me for 518 00:38:37,675 --> 00:38:40,395 Speaker 1: a week with made up sightings of McNall confirming a 519 00:38:40,475 --> 00:38:43,435 Speaker 1: Gretzky trade that frankly, I never believed was going to happen. 520 00:38:44,395 --> 00:38:46,995 Speaker 1: I mean not to get two sidetracked here, But one 521 00:38:47,075 --> 00:38:49,555 Speaker 1: day my phone rang and it was a kid who said, Hi, 522 00:38:49,635 --> 00:38:52,315 Speaker 1: mister Oberman, I'm sorry, but I'm a finalist to be 523 00:38:52,355 --> 00:38:55,755 Speaker 1: an intern here at Channel four for Fred Rogan, and 524 00:38:55,835 --> 00:38:58,595 Speaker 1: mister Rogan says I can have the spot, but only 525 00:38:58,635 --> 00:39:01,755 Speaker 1: if I call you up right now and say I'm sorry. 526 00:39:02,395 --> 00:39:03,955 Speaker 1: If I call you up and I tell you to 527 00:39:03,955 --> 00:39:06,955 Speaker 1: go f your self, the kid did not say f 528 00:39:07,675 --> 00:39:11,555 Speaker 1: To his credit, he used his real name, Bill Weir. 529 00:39:12,275 --> 00:39:15,275 Speaker 1: He later became a sportscaster for the third Network station 530 00:39:15,395 --> 00:39:18,395 Speaker 1: in LA, then a correspondent for ABC and now CNN, 531 00:39:18,675 --> 00:39:21,475 Speaker 1: and I have not let a year go by since 532 00:39:21,755 --> 00:39:25,835 Speaker 1: without reminding him of his f yourself internship phone call 533 00:39:27,435 --> 00:39:29,835 Speaker 1: he said life paid him back by making him work 534 00:39:29,875 --> 00:39:32,955 Speaker 1: with the guy for several months. Anyway, back to Gretzky night. 535 00:39:33,635 --> 00:39:36,795 Speaker 1: Two supposed listeners have called to say that Bruce McNall, 536 00:39:36,835 --> 00:39:40,435 Speaker 1: the owner of the La Kings, is apparently trapesing through 537 00:39:40,515 --> 00:39:43,315 Speaker 1: golf locker rooms and dining rooms at country clubs to 538 00:39:43,355 --> 00:39:45,595 Speaker 1: tell them he has completed a trade for the babe 539 00:39:45,675 --> 00:39:49,275 Speaker 1: ruth of hockey, Wayne Gretzky. And they're calling me because 540 00:39:49,315 --> 00:39:54,595 Speaker 1: they like me. I'm suspicious. And now the phone rings again. 541 00:39:55,355 --> 00:39:58,315 Speaker 1: This guy was playing golf at the La country Club. 542 00:39:58,435 --> 00:40:01,595 Speaker 1: Same story, McNall, by your Kings tickets, No, I just 543 00:40:01,635 --> 00:40:05,035 Speaker 1: got Gretzky. The next caller had been a yet a 544 00:40:05,115 --> 00:40:08,315 Speaker 1: fourth club, I think Wilshire or something. If this was 545 00:40:08,355 --> 00:40:11,235 Speaker 1: a prankett was a big one, and bluntly I had 546 00:40:11,275 --> 00:40:16,355 Speaker 1: begun to admire it. Finally came a fifth call. You 547 00:40:16,435 --> 00:40:18,715 Speaker 1: don't know me, but I watch you every night. I 548 00:40:18,715 --> 00:40:20,955 Speaker 1: stumbled onto a story. I think you'll want to run tonight. 549 00:40:21,835 --> 00:40:24,795 Speaker 1: I said, which golf course were you at? And he said, 550 00:40:24,915 --> 00:40:27,955 Speaker 1: excuse me. I was in my office all day, and 551 00:40:27,675 --> 00:40:31,155 Speaker 1: so was my missus. She's on the phone with me. 552 00:40:31,235 --> 00:40:34,675 Speaker 1: She works for Bruce McNall the Kings. This time, I 553 00:40:34,715 --> 00:40:37,395 Speaker 1: grabbed a pencil, Honey, why don't you take it from here? 554 00:40:37,675 --> 00:40:40,395 Speaker 1: And she did. She worked in the finance office and 555 00:40:40,435 --> 00:40:43,515 Speaker 1: she had, literally, she said, just made out a check 556 00:40:43,515 --> 00:40:46,315 Speaker 1: for fifteen million dollars to the owner of the Edmonton Oilers, 557 00:40:46,355 --> 00:40:49,955 Speaker 1: Peter Pocklington. She said, and the note memo where you 558 00:40:50,275 --> 00:40:52,755 Speaker 1: write what it's for, I was told to put in 559 00:40:53,155 --> 00:40:59,195 Speaker 1: Wayne Gretzky. She also had seen the trade contract identified 560 00:40:59,195 --> 00:41:01,035 Speaker 1: the players the Kings were going to give up with 561 00:41:01,075 --> 00:41:03,675 Speaker 1: the fifteen million to get Gretzky. They were Jimmy Carson 562 00:41:03,795 --> 00:41:07,195 Speaker 1: and Martinez Jell. There were also draft choices, but she 563 00:41:07,315 --> 00:41:12,235 Speaker 1: didn't know or didn't remember the specifics of which ones. Now, breathless, 564 00:41:12,555 --> 00:41:14,435 Speaker 1: I asked her if I could call her back through 565 00:41:14,435 --> 00:41:17,155 Speaker 1: the switchboard of the LA Forum where the Kings and 566 00:41:17,275 --> 00:41:21,035 Speaker 1: McNall's offices were, just to confirm she was who she 567 00:41:21,195 --> 00:41:24,915 Speaker 1: said she was. She said, I could, I did she was. 568 00:41:25,675 --> 00:41:27,355 Speaker 1: I believe. In fact, she turned out to be the 569 00:41:27,355 --> 00:41:29,555 Speaker 1: only person on the McNall financial team that did not 570 00:41:29,635 --> 00:41:32,915 Speaker 1: get charged with something. So now I went in to 571 00:41:32,955 --> 00:41:35,115 Speaker 1: talk to my news director and to the producer of 572 00:41:35,155 --> 00:41:37,755 Speaker 1: our newscast we were not on until ten PM. It 573 00:41:37,795 --> 00:41:41,315 Speaker 1: was now about seven. They were very excited, and they 574 00:41:41,355 --> 00:41:43,875 Speaker 1: said that given that I had exact details from a 575 00:41:43,955 --> 00:41:46,875 Speaker 1: King's source, plus the four witnesses to the owner of 576 00:41:46,915 --> 00:41:50,235 Speaker 1: the team shooting off his big bazoo at every golf 577 00:41:50,275 --> 00:41:53,275 Speaker 1: course he could reach, that we should run it, and 578 00:41:53,315 --> 00:41:55,675 Speaker 1: that we should run it as the lead news story 579 00:41:55,795 --> 00:41:58,515 Speaker 1: right at the start of the newscast that night, which 580 00:41:58,595 --> 00:42:03,355 Speaker 1: we did. The Kings would not confirm it, obviously, but 581 00:42:03,435 --> 00:42:05,675 Speaker 1: as soon as I got off the with my sports 582 00:42:05,715 --> 00:42:08,315 Speaker 1: cast the second time I reported this story, a reporter 583 00:42:08,355 --> 00:42:10,675 Speaker 1: from the Associated Press was on the phone asking me 584 00:42:10,755 --> 00:42:14,475 Speaker 1: to read him my script, which he then quoted word 585 00:42:14,875 --> 00:42:18,395 Speaker 1: for word and put out on their sports wire. It 586 00:42:18,515 --> 00:42:20,755 Speaker 1: was on the back page of the New York Post. 587 00:42:20,835 --> 00:42:23,635 Speaker 1: The next day. My friends called me from New York 588 00:42:23,675 --> 00:42:26,195 Speaker 1: to say, hey, your sports cast is on the back 589 00:42:26,195 --> 00:42:28,075 Speaker 1: page of the New York Post along with this big 590 00:42:28,115 --> 00:42:32,355 Speaker 1: picture of Wayne Gretzky. The leak caused the Kings to 591 00:42:32,435 --> 00:42:35,155 Speaker 1: move up the announcement of the deal from their original plan, 592 00:42:35,195 --> 00:42:38,635 Speaker 1: which was Thursday the eleventh, to the next night, Tuesday 593 00:42:38,675 --> 00:42:41,675 Speaker 1: the ninth, A King's vice president told me at the 594 00:42:41,715 --> 00:42:45,195 Speaker 1: press conference that The Oilers were enraged because they had 595 00:42:45,235 --> 00:42:48,795 Speaker 1: wanted to hold off until the eleventh, because the deadline 596 00:42:48,835 --> 00:42:51,915 Speaker 1: for their season ticket holders to get their deposits back 597 00:42:52,275 --> 00:42:55,635 Speaker 1: were Wednesday the tenth. The Kings were nice enough to 598 00:42:55,715 --> 00:42:58,635 Speaker 1: let me of all the TV guys interview Gretzky first Live, 599 00:42:58,715 --> 00:43:01,435 Speaker 1: and I congratulated Wayne on the move, and he actually 600 00:43:01,435 --> 00:43:03,475 Speaker 1: congratulated me on the scoop, and I said I didn't 601 00:43:03,555 --> 00:43:06,075 Speaker 1: do anything but answer the phone, and he thought about 602 00:43:06,075 --> 00:43:08,355 Speaker 1: it for a second and said pretty much the same 603 00:43:08,395 --> 00:43:11,915 Speaker 1: for me, and we've been friendly ever since. But the 604 00:43:11,995 --> 00:43:15,115 Speaker 1: laziest scoop of all time did eventually come back with 605 00:43:15,155 --> 00:43:18,875 Speaker 1: a sting for me and some payback. A year later, 606 00:43:18,915 --> 00:43:22,435 Speaker 1: we all submitted our best stories for consideration for the 607 00:43:22,475 --> 00:43:25,875 Speaker 1: local Emmy for Best TV Sports Reporting for the calendar 608 00:43:25,955 --> 00:43:31,875 Speaker 1: year nineteen eighty eight. I submitted Surprise, Surprise, the Gretzky scoop. 609 00:43:32,115 --> 00:43:34,875 Speaker 1: The Emmys were always judged by a committee of television 610 00:43:34,875 --> 00:43:37,035 Speaker 1: types from a different city, so he didn't have that 611 00:43:37,355 --> 00:43:40,875 Speaker 1: home La Bias and the guy from NBC, who I 612 00:43:40,955 --> 00:43:43,795 Speaker 1: had first thought was pranking me about the Gretzky story, 613 00:43:43,795 --> 00:43:46,875 Speaker 1: had somehow found out that the Emmys for nineteen eighty 614 00:43:46,915 --> 00:43:50,355 Speaker 1: eight would be judged in nineteen eighty nine in Ohio. 615 00:43:50,435 --> 00:43:54,915 Speaker 1: In Columbus, Ohio, I think so he managed to get 616 00:43:54,915 --> 00:43:58,515 Speaker 1: an interview with Morgana the Kissing Bandit, who was this 617 00:43:58,675 --> 00:44:02,115 Speaker 1: scantily clad, buxome woman you may remember, who in the 618 00:44:02,155 --> 00:44:04,515 Speaker 1: old days of innocence, used to bribe her way on 619 00:44:04,835 --> 00:44:08,235 Speaker 1: Major League Baseball fields and bounce out onto the plate 620 00:44:08,435 --> 00:44:10,955 Speaker 1: or the mound, and she'd go and kiss stars like 621 00:44:10,995 --> 00:44:17,195 Speaker 1: George Brent and Nolan Ryan during games.

For being chased by Morgana the Kissing Bandit, 630 00:44:49,195 --> 00:44:53,675 Speaker 1: my agent stood up and bowed my girlfriend, punched me 631 00:44:53,755 --> 00:44:56,115 Speaker 1: in the arm and said let's get out of here 632 00:44:56,115 --> 00:45:13,355 Speaker 1: and go drinking.
