1 00:00:04,795 --> 00:00:27,995 Speaker 1: Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. For 2 00:00:28,035 --> 00:00:30,995 Speaker 1: the first time in more than a decade, the far 3 00:00:31,195 --> 00:00:36,875 Speaker 1: right and the far left and everybody in between is 4 00:00:36,955 --> 00:00:43,035 Speaker 1: in full agreement. None of us knows what the hell 5 00:00:43,875 --> 00:00:49,635 Speaker 1: is wrong with Trump, for sometimes when a cult leader 6 00:00:49,755 --> 00:00:53,275 Speaker 1: goes crazy, it actually can be a negative for the cult, 7 00:00:53,795 --> 00:00:58,195 Speaker 1: like oh now ish when the cult realizes that while 8 00:00:58,235 --> 00:01:00,875 Speaker 1: they usually love it when Trump goes crazy, this time 9 00:01:00,915 --> 00:01:07,075 Speaker 1: he's gone crazy for somebody else and crazy against them. 10 00:01:08,795 --> 00:01:13,675 Speaker 1: Trump was so smitten with Mayor Elect Zoran Mamdani of 11 00:01:13,715 --> 00:01:18,155 Speaker 1: New York that the disturbingly sincere looking grin on his 12 00:01:18,275 --> 00:01:21,795 Speaker 1: face Friday and the tone of sure, call me a 13 00:01:21,835 --> 00:01:26,035 Speaker 1: fascist friend in the Oval office was just the start 14 00:01:26,075 --> 00:01:29,955 Speaker 1: of it. By Saturday, he was dressing like Mam Donnie, 15 00:01:30,155 --> 00:01:34,955 Speaker 1: a neat black overcoat that fit him and a scarf 16 00:01:34,995 --> 00:01:39,795 Speaker 1: that enveloped his neck, and hair combed with something other 17 00:01:39,835 --> 00:01:44,155 Speaker 1: than a garden claw, and the overall appearance of somebody who, 18 00:01:44,195 --> 00:01:47,115 Speaker 1: for the first time in his life, had actually asked 19 00:01:47,195 --> 00:01:52,995 Speaker 1: somebody else for their advice about the overall appearance and 20 00:01:53,115 --> 00:01:58,355 Speaker 1: actually listened to the advice. Mom Donnie was somehow so 21 00:01:58,675 --> 00:02:01,755 Speaker 1: appealing to Trump that from Trump's point of view, he 22 00:02:01,835 --> 00:02:06,035 Speaker 1: might as well have been I don't know, Jeffrey Epstein. 23 00:02:07,995 --> 00:02:11,875 Speaker 1: Remember some far right commentators, not all, to be certain, 24 00:02:11,995 --> 00:02:16,955 Speaker 1: but some as close to sanity as say the Newsmax 25 00:02:17,155 --> 00:02:21,395 Speaker 1: level of Hell had almost expected that when Mayor elect 26 00:02:21,395 --> 00:02:23,755 Speaker 1: mam Donni arrived at the White House, he would be 27 00:02:23,795 --> 00:02:28,795 Speaker 1: greeted by Trump and Tom Homan and hooded ice Gestapo 28 00:02:28,915 --> 00:02:32,595 Speaker 1: agents on horseback who would fabricate some story about Mam 29 00:02:32,635 --> 00:02:35,555 Speaker 1: Donny lying on paperwork, and they would seize him, and 30 00:02:35,595 --> 00:02:38,075 Speaker 1: they would expel him or at least put him in 31 00:02:38,155 --> 00:02:42,795 Speaker 1: a prison somewhere. They are still all the way over 32 00:02:42,875 --> 00:02:47,355 Speaker 1: there in a probably chemically induced fantasy, a world cobbled 33 00:02:47,355 --> 00:02:51,435 Speaker 1: together from graphic novels and the worst streaming sci fi. 34 00:02:52,915 --> 00:03:02,595 Speaker 1: Trump instead thought he was Nito. At the same hour, 35 00:03:02,955 --> 00:03:07,115 Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Green was in a fact excommunicated by Trump. 36 00:03:07,315 --> 00:03:11,675 Speaker 1: She announced her quote resignation unquote from Congress effective in 37 00:03:11,755 --> 00:03:15,395 Speaker 1: January because a she realized Trump would not support her 38 00:03:15,395 --> 00:03:18,075 Speaker 1: and therefore the cult would not support her, and she 39 00:03:18,195 --> 00:03:21,635 Speaker 1: felt Trump had lost his way and done nothing but 40 00:03:21,755 --> 00:03:25,915 Speaker 1: to make America worse. The role of Marjorie Taylor Green 41 00:03:26,035 --> 00:03:29,635 Speaker 1: will now be played by Laura Lumer, and Laura Lumer 42 00:03:29,715 --> 00:03:32,955 Speaker 1: was so aghast about Mam Donnie that she asked why 43 00:03:32,995 --> 00:03:37,115 Speaker 1: she or any other maga should even bother to vote 44 00:03:37,115 --> 00:03:39,835 Speaker 1: in the midterms next year, to which I reply with 45 00:03:39,995 --> 00:03:47,195 Speaker 1: a manly supportive hurrah, you go girl. They do not 46 00:03:47,435 --> 00:03:53,115 Speaker 1: know what's wrong with Trump. Trump's malfunctions are usually a delight. 47 00:03:54,355 --> 00:03:59,995 Speaker 1: They are their joy, they are their reason debtre Yet 48 00:04:00,035 --> 00:04:03,155 Speaker 1: this makes no sense to them. Big strong men coming 49 00:04:03,195 --> 00:04:06,915 Speaker 1: up to Zorn Mamdanie and saying, sir, I like your coat. 50 00:04:07,355 --> 00:04:09,755 Speaker 1: Where did you get that coat? You mean? They can 51 00:04:09,795 --> 00:04:13,075 Speaker 1: actually make a coat bigger or smaller, so it doesn't 52 00:04:13,075 --> 00:04:15,315 Speaker 1: look like it was dropped on you by a company 53 00:04:15,355 --> 00:04:22,715 Speaker 1: that makes tents and bouncy houses. The fascists are so confused, 54 00:04:22,915 --> 00:04:26,515 Speaker 1: so bereft, that not even the thrill of Trump advocating 55 00:04:26,555 --> 00:04:30,275 Speaker 1: for the hanging of the Democratic senators and representatives who 56 00:04:30,355 --> 00:04:34,595 Speaker 1: reminded the military they are obliged to not obey illegal orders, 57 00:04:34,755 --> 00:04:40,555 Speaker 1: not even that, not even that warm glow could last. 58 00:04:41,435 --> 00:04:45,115 Speaker 1: It's almost as if he never meant it. Where are 59 00:04:45,155 --> 00:04:49,995 Speaker 1: the construction cranes with Democrats swinging from the hooks like 60 00:04:50,075 --> 00:04:54,555 Speaker 1: the Taliban or the Iranian lunatics to it. The far 61 00:04:54,675 --> 00:04:57,795 Speaker 1: right hates the Taliban and Iran, but they got to 62 00:04:57,875 --> 00:05:02,275 Speaker 1: hand it to them. You and I should not forget 63 00:05:02,275 --> 00:05:06,995 Speaker 1: the Trump threat. Representative Hulahan didn't forget the Trump threat. 64 00:05:07,195 --> 00:05:10,355 Speaker 1: She told Greg Sergeant. She actually filed a threat report 65 00:05:10,395 --> 00:05:12,795 Speaker 1: with the Capitol Police. And in the place where he's 66 00:05:12,795 --> 00:05:16,635 Speaker 1: supposed to write who threatened you, Hulihan wrote, quote the President. 67 00:05:18,075 --> 00:05:21,675 Speaker 1: She thinks some of her colleagues in that video, whom 68 00:05:21,675 --> 00:05:25,515 Speaker 1: Trump then threatened with hanging for sedition, also filed complaints 69 00:05:25,515 --> 00:05:30,355 Speaker 1: with the Capitol Police. On Trump and Trump, he just 70 00:05:31,195 --> 00:05:36,715 Speaker 1: drifted off. He just drifted off from the whole topic again. 71 00:05:37,875 --> 00:05:40,435 Speaker 1: He drifted off metaphorically to the edge of a river. 72 00:05:41,475 --> 00:05:45,275 Speaker 1: It's a wide river, to be certain, there's no indication 73 00:05:45,355 --> 00:05:47,755 Speaker 1: that there's any real way over to the other side. 74 00:05:47,835 --> 00:05:49,875 Speaker 1: But on the other side of that river there is 75 00:05:49,915 --> 00:05:53,075 Speaker 1: a land in which Trump resigns the presidency so he 76 00:05:53,155 --> 00:05:58,035 Speaker 1: can join the Zoran Mamdani administration as the ninety seventh 77 00:05:58,075 --> 00:06:01,755 Speaker 1: Building Commissioner of the City of New York, and they 78 00:06:01,755 --> 00:06:06,515 Speaker 1: give him an office and legos and blocks and a 79 00:06:06,555 --> 00:06:09,315 Speaker 1: big model of Manhattan, and you can move the buildings 80 00:06:09,355 --> 00:06:15,075 Speaker 1: all around and shit. They thought Mamdanni would leave the 81 00:06:15,115 --> 00:06:21,555 Speaker 1: Oval Office in chains. Instead Trump left the Oval Office 82 00:06:22,475 --> 00:06:28,515 Speaker 1: in love. I am not suggesting for a moment Trump 83 00:06:28,555 --> 00:06:31,035 Speaker 1: has been pacified, or he's mellowed, or he's not a 84 00:06:31,115 --> 00:06:33,675 Speaker 1: danger to every living thing on this planet every moment 85 00:06:33,675 --> 00:06:36,595 Speaker 1: of every day. I am, however, suggesting that between whatever 86 00:06:36,715 --> 00:06:40,235 Speaker 1: is wrong with him and now accelerating into an active 87 00:06:40,275 --> 00:06:44,315 Speaker 1: stage and this kind of second giddy childhood we saw 88 00:06:44,435 --> 00:06:47,835 Speaker 1: Friday with Mamdanni and a slightly new strategy from some 89 00:06:47,915 --> 00:06:50,795 Speaker 1: of his opponents, among all that there has been a 90 00:06:50,835 --> 00:06:55,435 Speaker 1: noteworthy change in the vibe. Mamdani obviously played Trump like 91 00:06:55,475 --> 00:06:58,595 Speaker 1: a two dollars ban Joe, and the sooner the Democrats 92 00:06:58,595 --> 00:07:01,795 Speaker 1: figure out exactly what he did in there, and basically 93 00:07:01,835 --> 00:07:04,235 Speaker 1: that was he flattered Trump by telling Trump that he 94 00:07:04,275 --> 00:07:07,915 Speaker 1: was often right and insightful and even he's seeming enemies 95 00:07:08,075 --> 00:07:12,315 Speaker 1: like many of Trump's ideas. The sooner the Democrats figure 96 00:07:12,355 --> 00:07:16,035 Speaker 1: that out and bottle it, the better for them and 97 00:07:16,155 --> 00:07:20,075 Speaker 1: for us. There was also a new strategy offered by 98 00:07:20,115 --> 00:07:23,515 Speaker 1: ABC and Disney. He attacked their reporter Mary Bruce during 99 00:07:23,515 --> 00:07:27,955 Speaker 1: the Mohammed Bin Salman photo op disaster dressing her down 100 00:07:28,315 --> 00:07:30,755 Speaker 1: when he barely knew who the hell she was, made 101 00:07:30,795 --> 00:07:33,155 Speaker 1: her the focus of his hatred of all media, and 102 00:07:33,315 --> 00:07:37,195 Speaker 1: at that moment, of ABC, perhaps because they are first alphabetically. 103 00:07:37,795 --> 00:07:40,355 Speaker 1: He then went on a series of tirades about Jimmy 104 00:07:40,435 --> 00:07:44,195 Speaker 1: Kimmel again, even though the last time he did that 105 00:07:44,635 --> 00:07:47,355 Speaker 1: he suffered one of the few, no doubt humiliations of 106 00:07:47,395 --> 00:07:52,595 Speaker 1: his presidency of intimidation. ABC and Disney and Bob Eiger 107 00:07:52,715 --> 00:07:57,955 Speaker 1: then tried something new. They ignored all of it. They 108 00:07:57,995 --> 00:08:00,995 Speaker 1: made a bland statement defending their news but not Mary 109 00:08:01,035 --> 00:08:04,075 Speaker 1: Bruce by name. She took the hit, and their network 110 00:08:04,115 --> 00:08:07,835 Speaker 1: and their staate. They defended them, but not Kimmel. Kimmel 111 00:08:07,835 --> 00:08:11,075 Speaker 1: then turned it into a joke Trump, I'll go when 112 00:08:11,115 --> 00:08:18,275 Speaker 1: you go. Otherwise, ABC ignored Trump, and again Trump moved 113 00:08:18,315 --> 00:08:24,835 Speaker 1: on while his cultists simmered where are the construction cranes? 114 00:08:27,195 --> 00:08:29,595 Speaker 1: It can be argued correctly, I think that, of course 115 00:08:29,675 --> 00:08:32,955 Speaker 1: ABC ignored Trump this time. Bob Iger had already tried 116 00:08:32,955 --> 00:08:38,075 Speaker 1: everything else, Bribing that didn't work, capitulating that didn't work, 117 00:08:38,275 --> 00:08:43,115 Speaker 1: Suspending Kimmel that didn't work, defying Trump that didn't work, 118 00:08:43,475 --> 00:08:47,355 Speaker 1: and frankly, Iigers out of ideas. They were just too 119 00:08:47,475 --> 00:08:50,475 Speaker 1: tired to actually try anything this time. Well, at least 120 00:08:50,515 --> 00:09:00,515 Speaker 1: occasionally apparently that works. I cannot describe to you diving in, 121 00:09:00,715 --> 00:09:03,475 Speaker 1: not wearing my best shoes as I have done this, 122 00:09:04,235 --> 00:09:08,875 Speaker 1: diving into the right wing streams. I cannot describe to 123 00:09:08,875 --> 00:09:14,275 Speaker 1: you how disoriented this has left his cult. Charles Gasparino, 124 00:09:14,435 --> 00:09:18,075 Speaker 1: the Fox Business commentator with the shortest fuse in the world, 125 00:09:18,475 --> 00:09:21,555 Speaker 1: watched the Mamdani event and wrote, I really think the 126 00:09:21,595 --> 00:09:27,835 Speaker 1: wheels are coming off the Trump presidency. Wow. Countless right 127 00:09:27,875 --> 00:09:31,755 Speaker 1: wingers were appalled when this Moscow composed twenty eight point 128 00:09:31,795 --> 00:09:35,995 Speaker 1: plan for Ukrainian victory that merely requires Ukraine to give 129 00:09:36,075 --> 00:09:40,995 Speaker 1: up everything turned out to be Moscow composed not just that, 130 00:09:41,115 --> 00:09:46,755 Speaker 1: but composed in Russian clumsily translated into English, complete with 131 00:09:46,875 --> 00:09:57,115 Speaker 1: backwards Russian conjugation, backwards conjugation. Rusky and then Marco Rubio 132 00:09:57,195 --> 00:09:59,875 Speaker 1: first told some Republican senators that this was not the 133 00:09:59,915 --> 00:10:02,555 Speaker 1: Trump plan at all, but the Putin plan written in 134 00:10:02,755 --> 00:10:06,355 Speaker 1: Moscow suggested deliver by the Russians. And then he said, no, 135 00:10:06,435 --> 00:10:09,675 Speaker 1: he didn't, he didn't say that when he called to 136 00:10:09,715 --> 00:10:13,075 Speaker 1: tell these senators that, they say he literally said that, 137 00:10:13,515 --> 00:10:15,235 Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, no, he never did that. He 138 00:10:15,355 --> 00:10:19,875 Speaker 1: meant it was a plan that recognized Russian desires. And then, 139 00:10:20,435 --> 00:10:24,035 Speaker 1: and then, and then Marco might as well have paused 140 00:10:24,035 --> 00:10:26,155 Speaker 1: for a moment and then run off camera again to 141 00:10:26,275 --> 00:10:32,115 Speaker 1: chug a small water bottle of Poland spring or vodka. 142 00:10:34,235 --> 00:10:39,755 Speaker 1: Apart from the implications heads Russia winds tails, Oh oops, no, 143 00:10:39,915 --> 00:10:43,435 Speaker 1: it's a two headed coin. Tails is also heads Russia wins. 144 00:10:44,435 --> 00:10:47,075 Speaker 1: Apart from the implications, the State Department and the entire 145 00:10:47,115 --> 00:10:50,315 Speaker 1: Trump foreign policy and operation looked like idiots, not just 146 00:10:50,475 --> 00:10:54,235 Speaker 1: internationally but within MAGA. And just to round it out, 147 00:10:54,235 --> 00:10:57,315 Speaker 1: when MAGA thought Trump had finally destroyed Ukraine and this 148 00:10:57,515 --> 00:11:00,715 Speaker 1: was final, he has come back with more of a stall, 149 00:11:00,995 --> 00:11:04,995 Speaker 1: this appeasement of Putin, who can no longer afford to 150 00:11:05,155 --> 00:11:09,755 Speaker 1: pay his own Russian troops. Trump says that's not his 151 00:11:09,755 --> 00:11:17,275 Speaker 1: final answer. Shrug emoji. Meanwhile, while they wanted Trump to 152 00:11:17,355 --> 00:11:21,035 Speaker 1: actually hang Mark Kelly or Chrissy Hulahan or the others, 153 00:11:21,235 --> 00:11:25,635 Speaker 1: the US military apparently did issue illegal orders last week, 154 00:11:25,755 --> 00:11:29,035 Speaker 1: and a bunch of military contractors went and put up 155 00:11:29,315 --> 00:11:34,635 Speaker 1: keep out signs marked National Defense Area three where the 156 00:11:34,715 --> 00:11:39,035 Speaker 1: Rio Grande River dumps into the Gulf of Mexico, and 157 00:11:39,075 --> 00:11:42,875 Speaker 1: that's hardly like ordering Pete kaboom hegseth to blow up 158 00:11:42,915 --> 00:11:48,355 Speaker 1: some mythical Antifa city Oregon. But it did become another 159 00:11:48,395 --> 00:11:50,515 Speaker 1: problem for MAGA when it turned out the signs had 160 00:11:50,555 --> 00:11:54,555 Speaker 1: been put up in Mexico, not in the United States. 161 00:11:54,595 --> 00:11:57,675 Speaker 1: And once again the entire Trump foreign policy and military 162 00:11:57,715 --> 00:12:05,115 Speaker 1: operation looks like idiots. Looks like idiots to MAGA. Could 163 00:12:05,155 --> 00:12:09,035 Speaker 1: it get worse? Oh? Why yes, yes it could. Remember 164 00:12:09,075 --> 00:12:14,635 Speaker 1: the outrageous twenty billion dollar bribe to Argentina. Re elect 165 00:12:14,635 --> 00:12:18,155 Speaker 1: that FOP president Wolverine or whatever his name is, and 166 00:12:18,195 --> 00:12:21,155 Speaker 1: we'll pay your way out of the financial collapse he created. 167 00:12:21,955 --> 00:12:26,515 Speaker 1: That's gone. Now scaled it back a little, did we now? 168 00:12:27,595 --> 00:12:34,315 Speaker 1: Maybe Trump will pay Malay maybe four billion to help 169 00:12:34,395 --> 00:12:40,275 Speaker 1: him with his debt payment in January. Maybe even the 170 00:12:40,315 --> 00:12:43,795 Speaker 1: domestic terrorism thing seems to have petered out. Cash Bettel 171 00:12:43,875 --> 00:12:47,795 Speaker 1: is now the subject of more investigations than he is conducting. 172 00:12:48,595 --> 00:12:52,395 Speaker 1: The latest The Times report that he sent SWAT teams 173 00:12:52,435 --> 00:12:58,115 Speaker 1: to protect his girlfriend the country quote singer unquote, presumably 174 00:12:58,195 --> 00:13:03,875 Speaker 1: to defend her against people who have heard her sing. Meanwhile, 175 00:13:03,835 --> 00:13:06,355 Speaker 1: a group of European has built a kind of Wikipedia 176 00:13:06,515 --> 00:13:11,155 Speaker 1: of ice raids and tactics and agent identifications. It is 177 00:13:11,315 --> 00:13:17,155 Speaker 1: in Europe. So who's Christyinome gonna arrest? The EU will 178 00:13:17,195 --> 00:13:19,955 Speaker 1: simply tell her Fu and the horse you rode in 179 00:13:19,995 --> 00:13:25,555 Speaker 1: on Christy. Moreover, the Guardian reports the FBI infiltrated a 180 00:13:25,635 --> 00:13:29,515 Speaker 1: signal chat of anti ice organizers in this country, and 181 00:13:29,555 --> 00:13:32,715 Speaker 1: nobody in Maga could object to that, except they got caught, 182 00:13:33,915 --> 00:13:37,235 Speaker 1: and they had to shut down the infiltration because they 183 00:13:37,275 --> 00:13:42,475 Speaker 1: got caught, and worst of all, worse than you can 184 00:13:42,595 --> 00:13:47,555 Speaker 1: possibly imagine, worse from the Maga point of view. Their 185 00:13:47,755 --> 00:13:54,795 Speaker 1: dream of dreams sending the military or ICE or Seal 186 00:13:54,995 --> 00:13:59,635 Speaker 1: Team six or somebody into New York City to be 187 00:14:00,035 --> 00:14:02,955 Speaker 1: the real rain that will come and wash all this 188 00:14:03,315 --> 00:14:12,275 Speaker 1: come off the street. Yes, they're not getting that. No 189 00:14:12,435 --> 00:14:17,555 Speaker 1: ice raids in New York, no military in New York. Maga, 190 00:14:17,835 --> 00:14:21,955 Speaker 1: you are getting the undiscussed, too terrible to contemplate, but 191 00:14:22,155 --> 00:14:26,115 Speaker 1: very real possibility that instead of the trumpest destruction of 192 00:14:26,235 --> 00:14:33,635 Speaker 1: Sin City, you will be getting Trump Attending Zoraan Mamdani 193 00:14:33,715 --> 00:14:37,155 Speaker 1: swearing in shortly after midnight on January first, Good to 194 00:14:37,195 --> 00:14:39,595 Speaker 1: see you see do you mind. I wore one of 195 00:14:39,595 --> 00:14:43,035 Speaker 1: your plain black suits and white shirts and them skinny 196 00:14:43,075 --> 00:14:47,195 Speaker 1: black ties. You know that Olberman guy used to dress 197 00:14:47,275 --> 00:14:52,955 Speaker 1: like that. Remember the wheels really are coming off. Charlie 198 00:14:52,955 --> 00:14:59,795 Speaker 1: Gasperino better hitch. I keep harping on Trump and Mam 199 00:14:59,915 --> 00:15:03,555 Speaker 1: Donnie's appearance, and this is not idle. Yes, Trump is 200 00:15:03,595 --> 00:15:06,155 Speaker 1: an endless front run and kiss ass. And he really 201 00:15:06,195 --> 00:15:10,875 Speaker 1: did even once write me a fan letter a year 202 00:15:10,915 --> 00:15:13,755 Speaker 1: before he declared me an enemy of the people because 203 00:15:13,795 --> 00:15:16,355 Speaker 1: I lived in one of his buildings and he used 204 00:15:16,355 --> 00:15:22,115 Speaker 1: to watch me on ESPN. He does that. There's no 205 00:15:22,195 --> 00:15:26,715 Speaker 1: such thing as time or consistency. Better still, for Mam Donnie, 206 00:15:26,715 --> 00:15:29,755 Speaker 1: Mam Donnie is somebody who literally cannot become what Trump 207 00:15:29,795 --> 00:15:32,675 Speaker 1: has become president, So he's no real threat to Trump. 208 00:15:33,355 --> 00:15:37,595 Speaker 1: But there's something else, appearance wise that I noticed last week, 209 00:15:37,635 --> 00:15:40,395 Speaker 1: and it's really weird. But I've been thinking a lot 210 00:15:40,435 --> 00:15:50,355 Speaker 1: about this, Mam Donnie, Muhammad, Ben Salmon, jd Vance, guys 211 00:15:51,515 --> 00:16:00,395 Speaker 1: with beards, beards. Trump defers to guys with beards, full 212 00:16:00,715 --> 00:16:06,355 Speaker 1: prominent beards, big heavy beards. Think about this is not unanimous. 213 00:16:06,355 --> 00:16:09,835 Speaker 1: He sure didn't defer to Jack Smith's beard, and it 214 00:16:09,875 --> 00:16:12,955 Speaker 1: has to be a big beard. Not the beat Nick 215 00:16:13,035 --> 00:16:18,755 Speaker 1: fringe style that President Zelensky favors. Looks good on him. 216 00:16:19,155 --> 00:16:21,635 Speaker 1: But once you make a list of big beards that 217 00:16:21,715 --> 00:16:23,995 Speaker 1: Trump defers to, it's kind of hard to unsee it. 218 00:16:24,275 --> 00:16:33,835 Speaker 1: Vance Nbs, ma'm Donnie Howard Lutnick Russell, vote, Brad Barscale, 219 00:16:33,955 --> 00:16:39,315 Speaker 1: Trump's crazy dead doctor, Harold Bornstein, ma'm donnie owen uh 220 00:16:39,435 --> 00:16:46,675 Speaker 1: Beard's Donald Trump Junior. Which brings us back to the 221 00:16:46,715 --> 00:16:51,435 Speaker 1: great MAGA disillusionment. Steve Bannon doesn't have a beard. He's tried, 222 00:16:51,635 --> 00:16:55,715 Speaker 1: it didn't work, And right now Steve Bannon has the sads, 223 00:16:56,235 --> 00:16:59,875 Speaker 1: and not just because he doesn't have the beards. Late 224 00:16:59,955 --> 00:17:04,235 Speaker 1: Saturday night, Bannon reposted a screenshot from somebody calls themselves 225 00:17:04,315 --> 00:17:10,515 Speaker 1: Free be Speaker. It is a creed tour. Creed to 226 00:17:10,595 --> 00:17:14,035 Speaker 1: something Kerr means heart, ain't no heart in MAGA, and 227 00:17:14,155 --> 00:17:16,955 Speaker 1: this thing, whatever it is, sums it up. Right now 228 00:17:17,155 --> 00:17:21,275 Speaker 1: the Trump castle has collapsed and they know it. It is, 229 00:17:21,515 --> 00:17:28,235 Speaker 1: in essence, a note to Steve Bannon from freeb Speaker. Steve, 230 00:17:29,435 --> 00:17:32,555 Speaker 1: please let President Trump know what he must already know 231 00:17:32,635 --> 00:17:35,875 Speaker 1: that many of US MAGA supporters are heartbroken these days 232 00:17:36,275 --> 00:17:40,555 Speaker 1: watching him squander that powerful electoral mandate we gave him. 233 00:17:42,875 --> 00:17:45,875 Speaker 1: He won forty nine percent of the vote freeb speaker, 234 00:17:47,635 --> 00:17:50,875 Speaker 1: on which he executed so magnificently in the first months 235 00:17:50,875 --> 00:17:55,035 Speaker 1: of his term. Those are the golden years, the first 236 00:17:55,075 --> 00:17:58,035 Speaker 1: few months making nice with the vile Mandan. He is 237 00:17:58,115 --> 00:18:00,715 Speaker 1: probably understandable at this stage, but don't think many of 238 00:18:00,795 --> 00:18:03,435 Speaker 1: us fathom a Ukraine plan that puts the US on 239 00:18:03,435 --> 00:18:06,995 Speaker 1: the hook for that corrupt country security and enforcement, a 240 00:18:07,075 --> 00:18:11,435 Speaker 1: bizarre congratulatory meeting with the ISIS terrorist dictator of Syria, 241 00:18:11,595 --> 00:18:14,955 Speaker 1: an executive order barring every American state from protecting its 242 00:18:14,955 --> 00:18:18,035 Speaker 1: own citizens against the worst hours of AI, while he 243 00:18:18,155 --> 00:18:21,995 Speaker 1: enthusiastically promotes AI freedoms and subsidies and cozies up to 244 00:18:22,075 --> 00:18:25,955 Speaker 1: big tech CEOs who'll abandoned him in a nanosecond. His 245 00:18:26,075 --> 00:18:30,315 Speaker 1: seeming blindness through remaining america destroying immigration flaws like the 246 00:18:30,715 --> 00:18:33,995 Speaker 1: H one B VISUS scam you've exposed, and the flood 247 00:18:33,995 --> 00:18:37,195 Speaker 1: of Chinese student workers still in the US, all to 248 00:18:37,355 --> 00:18:44,075 Speaker 1: such cruel detriment to American workers. This guy's on a 249 00:18:44,075 --> 00:18:48,195 Speaker 1: bridge somewhere, any not to mention the seemingly endless delays 250 00:18:48,275 --> 00:18:50,875 Speaker 1: in justice for the worst the Deep State has done 251 00:18:50,955 --> 00:18:54,835 Speaker 1: to him and this country, although we cling to remnants 252 00:18:54,875 --> 00:19:02,435 Speaker 1: of trust in his overworked, understaffed DOJ. Yeah, overworked traveling 253 00:19:02,475 --> 00:19:09,075 Speaker 1: to see cash Betel girlfriend the quote singer unquote, I 254 00:19:09,115 --> 00:19:13,715 Speaker 1: doubt I'm alone after believing in his uniquely heroic intentions 255 00:19:13,755 --> 00:19:17,235 Speaker 1: for this country and supporting him since twenty sixteen, struggling 256 00:19:17,355 --> 00:19:21,515 Speaker 1: now to understand so much of what he's doing. It's 257 00:19:21,595 --> 00:19:24,435 Speaker 1: like I said, now they don't know what he's doing. 258 00:19:25,195 --> 00:19:28,795 Speaker 1: Without question, the political and social alternative is certain death 259 00:19:28,875 --> 00:19:34,355 Speaker 1: for this country. Yeah, they've been predicting this since twenty fifteen. 260 00:19:34,955 --> 00:19:37,195 Speaker 1: Hasn't even come close to happening yet. But go on, 261 00:19:37,795 --> 00:19:40,515 Speaker 1: But how can he expect his average MAGA voter to 262 00:19:40,555 --> 00:19:43,195 Speaker 1: stay warmly close to him when he appears to be 263 00:19:43,195 --> 00:19:46,435 Speaker 1: pushing him farther and farther out into the cold. And 264 00:19:46,515 --> 00:19:49,715 Speaker 1: if he doesn't remain the herculean mainstay of this country's 265 00:19:49,755 --> 00:19:53,675 Speaker 1: MAGA reforms, how can the feckless, cowardly GOP expect to 266 00:19:53,755 --> 00:20:00,075 Speaker 1: keep hold of Congress narrator? They couldn't. And how can 267 00:20:00,115 --> 00:20:03,515 Speaker 1: we navigate our way through the nasty GOP MAGA infighting? 268 00:20:03,755 --> 00:20:07,475 Speaker 1: Now Gurgley to the Service at the same time, we 269 00:20:07,635 --> 00:20:12,355 Speaker 1: put not our trust in princes. By the way, that's 270 00:20:12,395 --> 00:20:16,395 Speaker 1: a quote from Confederacy President Jefferson Davis. We put not 271 00:20:16,555 --> 00:20:20,315 Speaker 1: our trust in princes, but we have trusted that Almighty 272 00:20:20,395 --> 00:20:24,195 Speaker 1: God empowered Donald Trump to do the good, near impossible 273 00:20:24,275 --> 00:20:29,075 Speaker 1: things this country needs to survive. Please, Lord continue to 274 00:20:29,155 --> 00:20:34,235 Speaker 1: be with him. Well, they embraced Zamba and them zam 275 00:20:34,235 --> 00:20:38,155 Speaker 1: DONI didn't that indicate the Lord is doing his miraculous 276 00:20:38,155 --> 00:20:45,315 Speaker 1: works through Trump. Ah, that's where they are. They don't 277 00:20:45,395 --> 00:20:48,355 Speaker 1: understand what's happening. It's their turn. May they live the 278 00:20:48,395 --> 00:20:52,515 Speaker 1: rest of their lives not understanding what went wrong with Trump? 279 00:20:54,995 --> 00:20:59,595 Speaker 1: And sorry about your last point, freeb speaker. The Lord 280 00:20:59,675 --> 00:21:03,955 Speaker 1: cannot find Trump right now because Trump is busily trying 281 00:21:03,955 --> 00:21:35,635 Speaker 1: to find out if Zorn Mamdani plays golf. Remember a 282 00:21:35,675 --> 00:21:37,915 Speaker 1: couple of episodes back when I asked if it's actually 283 00:21:37,955 --> 00:21:40,075 Speaker 1: possible that when Trump said he did not know what 284 00:21:40,195 --> 00:21:42,515 Speaker 1: part of his body they had scanned in his MRI 285 00:21:42,795 --> 00:21:46,315 Speaker 1: last month, that he wasn't lying that he wasn't not 286 00:21:46,435 --> 00:21:49,155 Speaker 1: paying attention. I mean, how could you literally not know 287 00:21:49,235 --> 00:21:52,835 Speaker 1: which part the MRI was for. I mean, if you 288 00:21:52,875 --> 00:21:58,315 Speaker 1: were unconscious or sedated. Even after that, when they were 289 00:21:58,315 --> 00:22:01,275 Speaker 1: telling you how great your score was on your MRI, 290 00:22:01,635 --> 00:22:03,995 Speaker 1: like that's a thing, and how it was the greatest 291 00:22:04,155 --> 00:22:09,075 Speaker 1: MRI ever recorded, you'd probably just figure out what party 292 00:22:09,155 --> 00:22:12,475 Speaker 1: part it was, even unintentionally, How how how could that 293 00:22:12,555 --> 00:22:20,675 Speaker 1: not have? I forgot entirely about anosognosia ironic because basically 294 00:22:20,675 --> 00:22:30,195 Speaker 1: anopsygnosia is sophisticated, medically explained forgetting stuff. I have discussed 295 00:22:30,235 --> 00:22:32,635 Speaker 1: this before. What if he doesn't know what the MRI 296 00:22:33,075 --> 00:22:37,755 Speaker 1: was for, because whatever it was, he has anosgnosia about it. 297 00:22:38,755 --> 00:22:41,875 Speaker 1: In brief, this is the disease that makes it impossible 298 00:22:41,875 --> 00:22:45,555 Speaker 1: for you to recognize that you have a disease or 299 00:22:45,595 --> 00:22:49,795 Speaker 1: an injury, or that you've had a stroke, or that 300 00:22:49,835 --> 00:22:52,955 Speaker 1: you have, say just to pick one at random, Alzheimer's. 301 00:22:54,075 --> 00:22:58,555 Speaker 1: It is a brain injury. It is caused by a 302 00:22:58,635 --> 00:23:03,995 Speaker 1: variety of things, often by stroke, but other things cause 303 00:23:04,075 --> 00:23:09,395 Speaker 1: it too. Trump may not have had any idea that 304 00:23:09,475 --> 00:23:13,595 Speaker 1: he has some kind of cognitive illness and that they're 305 00:23:13,635 --> 00:23:16,515 Speaker 1: testing him for it. And even if somebody around him 306 00:23:16,555 --> 00:23:18,715 Speaker 1: had had the courage to tell him, he would a 307 00:23:19,035 --> 00:23:22,595 Speaker 1: not believe them, or he would instantly forget that they 308 00:23:22,595 --> 00:23:25,595 Speaker 1: had just told him, like if he had an MRI 309 00:23:25,795 --> 00:23:28,675 Speaker 1: of his brain to see if new Alzheimer's drugs are working, 310 00:23:29,075 --> 00:23:35,155 Speaker 1: he'd only remember the letter's MRI. The immortal David Dunning 311 00:23:35,315 --> 00:23:38,915 Speaker 1: of Dunning Krueger Syndrome once wrote the easiest to digest 312 00:23:39,035 --> 00:23:46,035 Speaker 1: example defining anosagnosia quote, an anosognosic patient who is paralyzed 313 00:23:46,475 --> 00:23:49,275 Speaker 1: simply does not know that he is paralyzed. If you 314 00:23:49,315 --> 00:23:51,315 Speaker 1: put a pencil in front of them and ask them 315 00:23:51,435 --> 00:23:54,395 Speaker 1: to pick up the pencil in front of their left hand, 316 00:23:54,755 --> 00:23:59,115 Speaker 1: they won't do it. And you ask them why, and 317 00:23:59,195 --> 00:24:03,555 Speaker 1: they'll say, ah, I'm tired, or I don't need a pencil. 318 00:24:05,475 --> 00:24:09,035 Speaker 1: And presidents have been studied for this exact behavior before 319 00:24:09,315 --> 00:24:16,995 Speaker 1: presidents and their pencils as latter day experts used new 320 00:24:17,075 --> 00:24:20,835 Speaker 1: medical knowledge a few decades ago to study the stroke 321 00:24:20,915 --> 00:24:24,555 Speaker 1: that Woodrow Wilson suffered while on his cross country tour 322 00:24:24,795 --> 00:24:27,195 Speaker 1: to try to sell the League of Nations to America 323 00:24:27,515 --> 00:24:31,475 Speaker 1: over the heads of a disapproving Senate. While all of 324 00:24:31,475 --> 00:24:34,435 Speaker 1: that has been studied and studied and studied, the conclusion 325 00:24:34,435 --> 00:24:37,275 Speaker 1: has now become widespread that whether or not he'd had 326 00:24:37,315 --> 00:24:42,595 Speaker 1: it earlier after the stroke in nineteen twenty, Wilson showed 327 00:24:42,715 --> 00:24:47,515 Speaker 1: all of the signs of anosagnosia. In the nineteen seventies, 328 00:24:47,555 --> 00:24:52,715 Speaker 1: the neuropsychiatrist Edwin Weinstein was granted access to Woodrow Wilson's papers, 329 00:24:52,755 --> 00:24:56,755 Speaker 1: and he wrote quote, following his stroke, the outstanding feature 330 00:24:56,795 --> 00:25:01,075 Speaker 1: of the president's behavior was his denial of his incapacity. 331 00:25:01,355 --> 00:25:07,595 Speaker 1: Denial of illness or ANO literally lack of knowledge of disease, 332 00:25:08,395 --> 00:25:11,995 Speaker 1: is a common sequel of the type of brain injury 333 00:25:12,035 --> 00:25:16,555 Speaker 1: received by President Woodrow Wilson. In this condition, the patient 334 00:25:16,635 --> 00:25:22,275 Speaker 1: denies or appears unaware of such deficits as paralysis or blindness. 335 00:25:23,635 --> 00:25:29,155 Speaker 1: To casual observers, anosygnosiac patients may appear quite normal and 336 00:25:29,235 --> 00:25:33,435 Speaker 1: even bright and witty when not on the subject of 337 00:25:33,475 --> 00:25:36,715 Speaker 1: their disability. They are quite rational, and tests of their 338 00:25:36,715 --> 00:25:42,955 Speaker 1: intelligence may show no deficit unquote, who in the hell 339 00:25:42,995 --> 00:25:48,275 Speaker 1: does that sound like? I don't know why they gave 340 00:25:48,315 --> 00:25:54,435 Speaker 1: me an MRI. Unfortunately, when on the subject of his disability, 341 00:25:54,475 --> 00:25:57,355 Speaker 1: President Wilson was anything but rational. His Secretary of State, 342 00:25:57,435 --> 00:26:00,915 Speaker 1: Robert Lansing, summoned the cabinet to a meeting to discuss 343 00:26:00,955 --> 00:26:04,115 Speaker 1: the crisis in Wilson's illness. And Wilson, or more likely 344 00:26:04,155 --> 00:26:07,955 Speaker 1: missus will Wilson forced the Secretary of State Lancing to resign. 345 00:26:09,355 --> 00:26:13,635 Speaker 1: Doctors who challenged President Wilson were dismissed. People who knew 346 00:26:13,675 --> 00:26:16,715 Speaker 1: Wilson before his stroke were eased out or denied access 347 00:26:16,755 --> 00:26:20,075 Speaker 1: to him. Wilson insisted until his death that while he 348 00:26:20,195 --> 00:26:23,555 Speaker 1: had had a stroke, it only affected his walking and 349 00:26:23,675 --> 00:26:28,595 Speaker 1: only a little. How the hell could you not know 350 00:26:28,915 --> 00:26:34,195 Speaker 1: what they stuck you in the mritube four? Well you 351 00:26:34,315 --> 00:26:38,195 Speaker 1: did know, but whatever is wrong with your brain immediately 352 00:26:38,235 --> 00:26:40,835 Speaker 1: erased it. Like a dream you try to remember as 353 00:26:40,875 --> 00:26:43,835 Speaker 1: you wake up, and it slips away from you, like 354 00:26:43,995 --> 00:26:47,155 Speaker 1: mercury on the floor, or like somebody was closing and 355 00:26:47,195 --> 00:26:51,955 Speaker 1: locking a door, keeping your dream away from you. So, 356 00:26:51,995 --> 00:26:54,915 Speaker 1: in addition to needing to worry about Trump having had 357 00:26:54,915 --> 00:26:58,955 Speaker 1: a stroke or flew into phasia or Alzheimer's or god 358 00:26:59,075 --> 00:27:02,355 Speaker 1: knows what, we also have to worry about him having 359 00:27:02,395 --> 00:27:04,435 Speaker 1: an illness that makes it impossible for him to ac 360 00:27:05,035 --> 00:27:07,795 Speaker 1: or even remember that he'd had a stroke, or fluent 361 00:27:07,875 --> 00:27:10,995 Speaker 1: aphasia or Alzheimer's, or even just the MRI to test 362 00:27:11,035 --> 00:27:17,555 Speaker 1: for it. No, the MRI was for my toenails. I 363 00:27:17,595 --> 00:27:21,955 Speaker 1: have ingrown toenails and not really bad ones. I got 364 00:27:21,955 --> 00:27:28,115 Speaker 1: a great score on my ingrown Toenail MRI and so 365 00:27:28,275 --> 00:27:31,235 Speaker 1: now in some for the first time in his dictatorship, 366 00:27:31,395 --> 00:27:36,875 Speaker 1: none of us haters, lovers, supporters, Mam Danny's, none of 367 00:27:36,955 --> 00:27:41,355 Speaker 1: us know what the hell is wrong with this guy Trump, 368 00:27:44,635 --> 00:27:48,755 Speaker 1: And if he has annosagnosia, he does know what's wrong 369 00:27:48,795 --> 00:27:59,795 Speaker 1: with him. But he just forgot it again, and yet 370 00:27:59,835 --> 00:28:04,515 Speaker 1: he remembers he likes Mom Daddy. I can also guess 371 00:28:04,515 --> 00:28:07,555 Speaker 1: that he did not read this weekend's worth of Olivia Newsy, 372 00:28:07,635 --> 00:28:10,595 Speaker 1: Ryan Lizza, Robert F. Kennedy Junior News, because if he had, 373 00:28:10,635 --> 00:28:14,635 Speaker 1: even Trump would have fired Kennedy by now already today, 374 00:28:14,915 --> 00:28:17,795 Speaker 1: because Kennedy is now a clear and present danger to 375 00:28:17,955 --> 00:28:22,595 Speaker 1: Trump's presidency, because Kennedy is scandal plagued and sloppy and 376 00:28:22,755 --> 00:28:26,475 Speaker 1: nuts and he is in some way involved with a 377 00:28:26,515 --> 00:28:33,635 Speaker 1: woman who may be nuttier than he is. If you 378 00:28:34,315 --> 00:28:37,555 Speaker 1: read the updates on my ex over the weekend, I 379 00:28:37,555 --> 00:28:40,475 Speaker 1: hope your stomach has settled down. I am not going 380 00:28:40,515 --> 00:28:47,555 Speaker 1: to even reference the Kennedy love poetry to Olivia about 381 00:28:47,595 --> 00:28:52,675 Speaker 1: his uh, well, what was it? Sterling Hayden called it 382 00:28:52,715 --> 00:28:58,755 Speaker 1: in Doctor Strangelove his life essence, Man Drake the purity 383 00:28:58,795 --> 00:29:01,955 Speaker 1: of his life essence. I deny them my life essence. 384 00:29:02,795 --> 00:29:05,315 Speaker 1: What I am going to reference, though, is the important part, 385 00:29:05,555 --> 00:29:09,715 Speaker 1: which is Ryan Lizz's assertion no evidence yet presented that 386 00:29:09,795 --> 00:29:14,595 Speaker 1: Olivia Newsey ran catch and kill operations to barry scandals 387 00:29:14,875 --> 00:29:18,435 Speaker 1: about Robert F. Kennedy Junior while she was employed by 388 00:29:18,475 --> 00:29:21,955 Speaker 1: New York Magazine for more than a year before the election, 389 00:29:24,275 --> 00:29:27,755 Speaker 1: and Liz's further insistence that Newsy told him that if 390 00:29:27,755 --> 00:29:31,475 Speaker 1: anybody found out about her and Kennedy quote, I'm afraid 391 00:29:31,595 --> 00:29:37,355 Speaker 1: Bobby will kill me. You can skip this next half 392 00:29:37,355 --> 00:29:40,435 Speaker 1: hour update after the break, you can proceed directly to 393 00:29:40,515 --> 00:29:47,875 Speaker 1: the C block and Worse Persons. If not, get a 394 00:29:47,995 --> 00:29:50,675 Speaker 1: drink and pull up a chair and join me. It's 395 00:29:50,795 --> 00:29:55,315 Speaker 1: the news of Newsy and it's a doozy that's next. 396 00:29:55,555 --> 00:29:57,515 Speaker 1: This is Countdown. 397 00:29:58,515 --> 00:30:00,955 Speaker 2: Among his other credits, Moe used to host a TV 398 00:30:01,075 --> 00:30:06,195 Speaker 2: show called Things I Hate About You. I'm sure I've 399 00:30:06,235 --> 00:30:10,995 Speaker 2: seen that program, only I believe it's now called Countdown 400 00:30:11,075 --> 00:30:12,315 Speaker 2: with Keith Overman. 401 00:30:20,275 --> 00:30:24,035 Speaker 1: Still ahead, Worse Persons and Ted Turner's dream used to 402 00:30:24,035 --> 00:30:26,435 Speaker 1: be when I worked for him one hundred and fifteen 403 00:30:26,515 --> 00:30:30,075 Speaker 1: years ago was to buy CBS News, in fact, buy 404 00:30:30,115 --> 00:30:34,035 Speaker 1: all of CBS and merge it into CNN to show 405 00:30:34,075 --> 00:30:38,115 Speaker 1: television that in nineteen eighty two cable was already boss. 406 00:30:38,995 --> 00:30:42,755 Speaker 1: Now it's Larry Ellison's dreamed by CNN and merge it 407 00:30:42,795 --> 00:30:46,235 Speaker 1: into CBS to show the world that Trump is boss 408 00:30:46,555 --> 00:30:51,075 Speaker 1: and decides who's on CNN and who isn't, holding anchors 409 00:30:51,155 --> 00:30:56,315 Speaker 1: hostage ahead in Worse Persons, But first postscripts to the news, 410 00:30:56,915 --> 00:31:06,075 Speaker 1: some headlines, some updates, some snark, count down podcast, and 411 00:31:06,115 --> 00:31:10,915 Speaker 1: these are the places where there's news. Dateline, the Department 412 00:31:10,915 --> 00:31:13,475 Speaker 1: of Health and Human Services, The New York Times with 413 00:31:13,595 --> 00:31:17,075 Speaker 1: bad timing Friday night, putting out a story that was 414 00:31:17,195 --> 00:31:21,435 Speaker 1: at least a week in the making about Liza Newsy 415 00:31:21,715 --> 00:31:25,675 Speaker 1: and RFK Junior and that character who gets killed in 416 00:31:25,715 --> 00:31:30,715 Speaker 1: the first scene me and Liza getting up in Newsy's busy. 417 00:31:31,715 --> 00:31:35,875 Speaker 1: And three hours after they posted the article, Ryan Liza 418 00:31:35,955 --> 00:31:39,035 Speaker 1: dropped part two of his expose on his ex fiance, 419 00:31:40,115 --> 00:31:43,835 Speaker 1: making the Times peace completely outdated and more importantly, turning 420 00:31:43,835 --> 00:31:49,675 Speaker 1: this from a grotesque but tremendously entertaining saga of a 421 00:31:49,795 --> 00:31:54,795 Speaker 1: disturbed woman I used to live with and the rapidly 422 00:31:54,955 --> 00:32:00,115 Speaker 1: disappearing schmuck she used to live with and serially cheat 423 00:32:00,155 --> 00:32:04,195 Speaker 1: on with politicians as old or older than I am 424 00:32:05,075 --> 00:32:12,915 Speaker 1: transforming that lighthearted enterprise into something that should eventually put 425 00:32:13,035 --> 00:32:16,755 Speaker 1: Robert F. Kennedy Junior in prison, and should more immediately 426 00:32:16,795 --> 00:32:21,555 Speaker 1: precipitate an investigation of New York Magazine. If what Ryan 427 00:32:21,635 --> 00:32:26,195 Speaker 1: Liza writes is true, don't worry. There's lots of gossip 428 00:32:26,395 --> 00:32:30,595 Speaker 1: gold to review, and I will. And if this is 429 00:32:30,635 --> 00:32:32,875 Speaker 1: not your cup of tea, feel free to hit stop 430 00:32:33,275 --> 00:32:36,675 Speaker 1: or scoot forward. Worst persons is after the next break. 431 00:32:37,275 --> 00:32:40,715 Speaker 1: But here's the real headline deep in part two of Liza, 432 00:32:40,715 --> 00:32:43,475 Speaker 1: which you put behind a paywall. See if you hear 433 00:32:43,515 --> 00:32:47,915 Speaker 1: the headline as it goes by quote. I have never 434 00:32:47,955 --> 00:32:52,675 Speaker 1: been able to convey Olivia's near total obsession with Bobby properly. 435 00:32:53,075 --> 00:32:55,555 Speaker 1: What I can say with authority is that it seeped 436 00:32:55,635 --> 00:33:00,435 Speaker 1: into every corner of her life, affected every relationship she had, 437 00:33:00,715 --> 00:33:04,435 Speaker 1: and drove every decision she made in late twenty twenty 438 00:33:04,475 --> 00:33:08,715 Speaker 1: three and all of twenty twenty four, including her catch 439 00:33:08,795 --> 00:33:13,355 Speaker 1: and kill operations on his behalf, the campaign strategy memos 440 00:33:13,355 --> 00:33:16,795 Speaker 1: she wrote him and the other journalistic transgressions that have 441 00:33:16,915 --> 00:33:20,115 Speaker 1: still not been disclosed. For me, it was like waking 442 00:33:20,195 --> 00:33:22,795 Speaker 1: up and learning she was a heroin addict or had 443 00:33:22,915 --> 00:33:24,995 Speaker 1: joy Way Way Wait wait wait wait wait. 444 00:33:24,875 --> 00:33:25,595 Speaker 2: Wait wait. 445 00:33:27,595 --> 00:33:31,675 Speaker 1: Say that part again, heroin addict? No no, no, no no. 446 00:33:32,075 --> 00:33:36,435 Speaker 1: The part about catch and kill, Oh yeah, drove every 447 00:33:36,475 --> 00:33:38,115 Speaker 1: decision she made in late twenty twenty three and all 448 00:33:38,155 --> 00:33:41,955 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, including her catch and kill operations on 449 00:33:41,995 --> 00:33:50,395 Speaker 1: his behalf. Catch and kill the way the Weekly World 450 00:33:50,555 --> 00:33:52,875 Speaker 1: Pro Trump News or whatever it was called, used to 451 00:33:52,875 --> 00:33:57,435 Speaker 1: buy stories to either use to blackmail on Trump's behalf 452 00:33:57,635 --> 00:34:02,795 Speaker 1: or to keep Trump from getting bad publicity during the campaign. 453 00:34:03,835 --> 00:34:09,395 Speaker 1: That kind of catch and kill. Olivia did this with 454 00:34:09,475 --> 00:34:15,315 Speaker 1: whose money? She did catch and kill operations in twenty 455 00:34:15,315 --> 00:34:17,955 Speaker 1: twenty three, late twenty twenty three, he says, and twenty 456 00:34:17,995 --> 00:34:20,995 Speaker 1: twenty four, all of twenty twenty four, he emphasizes. All 457 00:34:21,035 --> 00:34:23,435 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty four. She was still employed by New 458 00:34:23,515 --> 00:34:27,115 Speaker 1: York Magazine until the story broke in September of twenty 459 00:34:27,115 --> 00:34:32,435 Speaker 1: twenty four. That's not good for New York Magazine. They were, 460 00:34:32,475 --> 00:34:37,795 Speaker 1: at best an unknowing base of catch and kill operations 461 00:34:37,835 --> 00:34:41,795 Speaker 1: on behalf of Robert F. Kennedy Juniors, presumably still his 462 00:34:41,835 --> 00:34:46,195 Speaker 1: presidential campaign. They published an article which in retrospect is 463 00:34:46,275 --> 00:34:51,235 Speaker 1: clearly designed to help him and authenticate him. We know 464 00:34:51,355 --> 00:34:54,195 Speaker 1: that now just from reading it. You could see it then. 465 00:34:54,515 --> 00:34:57,475 Speaker 1: And the other part of this is Ryan Lisen knew 466 00:34:57,515 --> 00:34:59,795 Speaker 1: about this. I mean, he doesn't come out and say 467 00:34:59,875 --> 00:35:02,715 Speaker 1: I knew about this, except he does say he did 468 00:35:02,795 --> 00:35:04,875 Speaker 1: live with her, and it seeped into every corner of 469 00:35:04,915 --> 00:35:09,155 Speaker 1: her life. And and he kept this secret for in 470 00:35:09,155 --> 00:35:11,115 Speaker 1: some cases, let's seen late twenty twenty three, it's not 471 00:35:11,315 --> 00:35:13,355 Speaker 1: late twenty twenty five, so some of this is two 472 00:35:13,435 --> 00:35:16,875 Speaker 1: years old. Ryan, And and you kept this secret as 473 00:35:16,915 --> 00:35:21,395 Speaker 1: he ran for president and and and affected some of 474 00:35:21,435 --> 00:35:24,075 Speaker 1: the voting patterns as they developed in the twenty twenty 475 00:35:24,075 --> 00:35:28,835 Speaker 1: four election, and then was named to destroy a vaccine 476 00:35:28,875 --> 00:35:32,595 Speaker 1: safety in this country and generally put as many crackpot 477 00:35:32,915 --> 00:35:36,715 Speaker 1: ideas in an attempt to restore the medical stature of 478 00:35:37,075 --> 00:35:40,875 Speaker 1: medieval barbers from the fifteenth century this Ky and you 479 00:35:41,355 --> 00:35:43,595 Speaker 1: and you kept it secret so you could charge us 480 00:35:43,675 --> 00:35:50,035 Speaker 1: eight dollars to read about it later. It's not good 481 00:35:50,035 --> 00:35:55,555 Speaker 1: for you, Ryan Lizzon. My complaints about him actually have 482 00:35:55,835 --> 00:35:59,635 Speaker 1: like are one percent to do with the fact that 483 00:35:59,635 --> 00:36:03,115 Speaker 1: that relationship followed my relationship with her. I think that's human. 484 00:36:03,395 --> 00:36:08,395 Speaker 1: Ninety nine percent of it either precedes my knowing Olivia Newsy, 485 00:36:08,595 --> 00:36:11,475 Speaker 1: and it's just about how bad and overrated a journalist 486 00:36:11,475 --> 00:36:14,675 Speaker 1: he was. And I'm in a perverse way glad to 487 00:36:14,675 --> 00:36:18,275 Speaker 1: see that it has been restored that my opinion of 488 00:36:18,315 --> 00:36:23,275 Speaker 1: him was correct. No, I know about this terrible situation 489 00:36:23,395 --> 00:36:25,995 Speaker 1: in which people are catching and killing bad stories about 490 00:36:26,075 --> 00:36:28,515 Speaker 1: Robert F. Kennedy Junior. And I'm not going to tell 491 00:36:28,555 --> 00:36:31,595 Speaker 1: anybody till after the election, a year into his role 492 00:36:31,915 --> 00:36:35,235 Speaker 1: as the head of the Department of Health and Human Services, 493 00:36:36,075 --> 00:36:39,475 Speaker 1: as he slashes millions of dollars from cancer research that 494 00:36:39,675 --> 00:36:42,555 Speaker 1: is in fact going to lead probably to the death 495 00:36:42,555 --> 00:36:47,075 Speaker 1: of his fatally ill cousin, the mother of two small children. 496 00:36:50,195 --> 00:36:54,675 Speaker 1: And you apparently knew. Here's something else, a little bit 497 00:36:54,755 --> 00:36:59,315 Speaker 1: lighter than that quote. As she left, I said something 498 00:36:59,315 --> 00:37:03,835 Speaker 1: that would have enormous ramifications going forward. People are going 499 00:37:03,875 --> 00:37:06,355 Speaker 1: to ask me what happen, I told Olivia, and I'm 500 00:37:06,355 --> 00:37:11,475 Speaker 1: going to tell the truth. I was faced with a 501 00:37:11,515 --> 00:37:14,555 Speaker 1: similar question, by the way, and I said, people are 502 00:37:14,595 --> 00:37:16,035 Speaker 1: going to ask me what happened, And I'm not going 503 00:37:16,115 --> 00:37:22,355 Speaker 1: to say shit, and I didn't for nine years. There 504 00:37:22,355 --> 00:37:25,715 Speaker 1: have been questions about my commenting at all about this story. 505 00:37:26,355 --> 00:37:30,035 Speaker 1: You did not know that I had a relationship with 506 00:37:30,075 --> 00:37:32,995 Speaker 1: olbya Newsy let alone that she lived with me from 507 00:37:33,035 --> 00:37:36,515 Speaker 1: the time she was I think it's fair to say 508 00:37:36,595 --> 00:37:39,435 Speaker 1: almost like within weeks of her nineteenth birthday was when 509 00:37:39,435 --> 00:37:42,395 Speaker 1: she kind of started to move stuff in. She lived 510 00:37:42,395 --> 00:37:48,275 Speaker 1: with me from ages nineteen through twenty three. You know 511 00:37:48,515 --> 00:37:54,635 Speaker 1: she'd already turned twenty four. Yeah, twenty three. I'm sorry, 512 00:37:54,675 --> 00:37:58,275 Speaker 1: I got that number wrong. Nineteen to twenty three and 513 00:37:58,315 --> 00:38:00,875 Speaker 1: I didn't tell anybody anything until the New York Post 514 00:38:00,875 --> 00:38:02,755 Speaker 1: called and said, we understand you used to date, at 515 00:38:02,755 --> 00:38:04,115 Speaker 1: which point, well, I'm not going to let the New 516 00:38:04,195 --> 00:38:06,875 Speaker 1: York Post scoop me on this story. The cat's out 517 00:38:06,915 --> 00:38:09,155 Speaker 1: of the bag. I'm not going to let somebody else 518 00:38:09,195 --> 00:38:13,115 Speaker 1: have the cat, as it were. And then I didn't 519 00:38:13,115 --> 00:38:16,715 Speaker 1: bring myself into the Liza mix. He put me in 520 00:38:16,795 --> 00:38:20,875 Speaker 1: his sub stack story. Anyway, people are going to ask 521 00:38:20,915 --> 00:38:24,475 Speaker 1: me what happened I told Olivia, and I'm not gonna 522 00:38:24,475 --> 00:38:27,395 Speaker 1: say shit, that's not what Ryan Lizzie says here. People 523 00:38:27,395 --> 00:38:30,395 Speaker 1: are going to ask me what happened, Ryan Liza told Olivia, 524 00:38:30,475 --> 00:38:33,835 Speaker 1: and I'm going to tell the truth. She seemed paralyzed 525 00:38:33,875 --> 00:38:37,435 Speaker 1: with fear, he writes, and frankly, I didn't understand why. 526 00:38:38,195 --> 00:38:39,915 Speaker 1: It was only later, when we were deep into what 527 00:38:39,915 --> 00:38:42,515 Speaker 1: would become weeks of conversations about every detail of what 528 00:38:42,595 --> 00:38:45,915 Speaker 1: transpired between her and Bobby, who had told her that 529 00:38:45,995 --> 00:38:50,955 Speaker 1: he demanded discipline and fearlessness and at times total submission, 530 00:38:51,315 --> 00:38:56,275 Speaker 1: that she explained her terrified reaction that August morning. If 531 00:38:56,315 --> 00:39:00,875 Speaker 1: anyone ever finds out, Olivia told me quote, I'm afraid 532 00:39:01,075 --> 00:39:07,715 Speaker 1: Bobby will kill me unquote. Two things. I'll remind you 533 00:39:07,795 --> 00:39:12,795 Speaker 1: that she told me in probably twenty fourteen, yes, maybe 534 00:39:12,835 --> 00:39:15,275 Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, that whenever she would go to Washington, this 535 00:39:15,315 --> 00:39:18,915 Speaker 1: guy Ryan Wizza was stalking her. I don't think whatever 536 00:39:18,955 --> 00:39:22,515 Speaker 1: he did actually qualified as stalking. She later clearly used 537 00:39:22,515 --> 00:39:24,995 Speaker 1: the same term about me to him, and what I 538 00:39:25,035 --> 00:39:28,195 Speaker 1: did to her did not come remotely close to stalking. 539 00:39:28,675 --> 00:39:32,515 Speaker 1: So the idea that somehow Bobby Kennedy was going to 540 00:39:32,595 --> 00:39:35,915 Speaker 1: kill her seems a little seems a little more consistent 541 00:39:35,995 --> 00:39:40,475 Speaker 1: with her oh exaggeration and pitting herself in a physition 542 00:39:40,555 --> 00:39:43,675 Speaker 1: in which her guy has to believe that she is 543 00:39:43,715 --> 00:39:47,195 Speaker 1: in some sort of serious danger and must rescue her 544 00:39:47,235 --> 00:39:51,075 Speaker 1: from this rather than Bobby Kennedy planned to have Olivia 545 00:39:51,155 --> 00:39:54,875 Speaker 1: Newsy killed. But quote, if anyone ever finds out, Olivia 546 00:39:54,915 --> 00:39:57,555 Speaker 1: told me, I'm afraid Bobby will kill me, which sets 547 00:39:57,635 --> 00:40:00,915 Speaker 1: up part three, which he's hinted at before, in which 548 00:40:00,955 --> 00:40:03,155 Speaker 1: he mentioned that there was a plot that he claims 549 00:40:03,195 --> 00:40:06,755 Speaker 1: Newsy engaged with to send him to prison with the 550 00:40:06,795 --> 00:40:11,395 Speaker 1: help of the Trump administration or with the help then 551 00:40:11,515 --> 00:40:16,115 Speaker 1: of the Trump people. Last year, there was a story 552 00:40:16,115 --> 00:40:18,075 Speaker 1: about her going to the FBI and trying to get 553 00:40:18,115 --> 00:40:21,915 Speaker 1: Ryan Lizza arrested for accessing her phone. That's not the 554 00:40:21,955 --> 00:40:25,595 Speaker 1: story that he tells. He claims he accessed stuff that 555 00:40:25,715 --> 00:40:29,755 Speaker 1: fell out of her book bag on the floor. Now 556 00:40:29,755 --> 00:40:33,715 Speaker 1: about the Mark Sandford story, quote, Olivia had written a 557 00:40:33,755 --> 00:40:37,315 Speaker 1: tabloid style news story about how sources in Washington, d C. 558 00:40:37,835 --> 00:40:42,035 Speaker 1: And Charleston have been buzzing recently about an unexpected romance 559 00:40:42,435 --> 00:40:45,715 Speaker 1: Mark Sandford and Olivia Newzy, who was described as one 560 00:40:45,755 --> 00:40:48,795 Speaker 1: of the most famous political reporters in America, A blonde 561 00:40:48,835 --> 00:40:52,515 Speaker 1: beauty who gained critical acclaim as a skilled profile writer, 562 00:40:52,795 --> 00:40:56,075 Speaker 1: gaining access to the powerful and the mysterious, and turning 563 00:40:56,075 --> 00:41:01,875 Speaker 1: it into pure journalistic gold. The Sanford story. When did 564 00:41:01,915 --> 00:41:04,235 Speaker 1: she go see him? Did she have a long running 565 00:41:04,235 --> 00:41:07,675 Speaker 1: affair with him? Was it one night's stand? Who knows? 566 00:41:07,995 --> 00:41:11,955 Speaker 1: He writes about it in detail. It's about as interesting 567 00:41:12,075 --> 00:41:18,675 Speaker 1: as my romantic life with her. You don't care, I 568 00:41:18,715 --> 00:41:21,155 Speaker 1: guess I care. I don't care as much as I 569 00:41:21,195 --> 00:41:25,755 Speaker 1: cared then In any event, she wrote a fake article 570 00:41:25,835 --> 00:41:29,515 Speaker 1: that he found about herself in the third person and 571 00:41:29,555 --> 00:41:33,755 Speaker 1: her I mean reading like something out of an eight 572 00:41:33,835 --> 00:41:38,835 Speaker 1: year old diary, an eight year old's diary, Olivia told me, 573 00:41:38,875 --> 00:41:40,875 Speaker 1: he goes on. She wrote the fake article as an 574 00:41:40,915 --> 00:41:43,355 Speaker 1: exercise to think through what might be the worst that 575 00:41:43,395 --> 00:41:46,995 Speaker 1: could be said publicly if the affair became known, though 576 00:41:47,035 --> 00:41:49,795 Speaker 1: that didn't really make sense to me given the pieces tone. 577 00:41:49,955 --> 00:41:54,795 Speaker 1: You think pure journalistic gold. I'm terrified someone might accuse 578 00:41:54,835 --> 00:41:58,835 Speaker 1: me of being beautiful and skilled, the most skilled profile, 579 00:41:59,035 --> 00:42:03,395 Speaker 1: the most famous political reporter in America. Her fantasizing about 580 00:42:03,435 --> 00:42:05,395 Speaker 1: what it would be like when her secret relationship with 581 00:42:05,435 --> 00:42:09,595 Speaker 1: a notorious politician finally became public would repeat itself during 582 00:42:09,675 --> 00:42:12,235 Speaker 1: her affair with Bobby. So he's now setting up again 583 00:42:12,275 --> 00:42:17,155 Speaker 1: the third episode, in which in which he reveals that 584 00:42:17,315 --> 00:42:20,075 Speaker 1: she wrote something like this about what would happen when 585 00:42:20,115 --> 00:42:25,795 Speaker 1: the Bobby Kennedy story came out again. I took some 586 00:42:25,835 --> 00:42:32,435 Speaker 1: criticism for using the neo meme, the neo gif jiff, 587 00:42:33,555 --> 00:42:39,635 Speaker 1: the gift jiff meme about what's his name Keanu Reeves 588 00:42:39,715 --> 00:42:42,875 Speaker 1: dodging bullets? Oh no, you took plenty of bullets in 589 00:42:42,875 --> 00:42:45,715 Speaker 1: that article. No no, no, no no. I meant in 590 00:42:46,035 --> 00:42:53,915 Speaker 1: you know life on my tombstone, you can write avoided 591 00:42:53,995 --> 00:43:00,955 Speaker 1: death by Olivia Newsy. Probably one thing I will say 592 00:43:00,955 --> 00:43:05,395 Speaker 1: about reading this quote that he puts in here, describing 593 00:43:05,435 --> 00:43:07,875 Speaker 1: herself as a blonde beauty, one of the most famous 594 00:43:07,915 --> 00:43:11,115 Speaker 1: political reporters in America, gained critical acclaim as a skilled 595 00:43:11,155 --> 00:43:17,115 Speaker 1: profile writer. Did you see online the links via the 596 00:43:17,155 --> 00:43:21,835 Speaker 1: wayback machine, the Internet wayback machine to her career as 597 00:43:21,875 --> 00:43:24,755 Speaker 1: a pop singer as a teenager under the name Livy 598 00:43:25,035 --> 00:43:28,635 Speaker 1: with two v's. I had never seen this, although the 599 00:43:28,675 --> 00:43:31,595 Speaker 1: photograph does look familiar. I think she showed it to 600 00:43:31,635 --> 00:43:34,115 Speaker 1: me at one point. I knew she had a singing career. 601 00:43:34,195 --> 00:43:36,915 Speaker 1: I didn't know it was pop bubblegum. I certainly didn't 602 00:43:36,915 --> 00:43:39,555 Speaker 1: know there was a song called Jailbait, for God's sakes. 603 00:43:39,755 --> 00:43:42,315 Speaker 1: But if you go and look at these captures of 604 00:43:42,395 --> 00:43:47,475 Speaker 1: what was a MySpace location for her music, and I 605 00:43:47,595 --> 00:43:49,475 Speaker 1: know I'm not going to listen to her music. No, 606 00:43:49,515 --> 00:43:52,235 Speaker 1: I'm not going to listen to it, she erased, all 607 00:43:52,355 --> 00:43:55,155 Speaker 1: this probably spent money to try to get rid of it. 608 00:43:56,155 --> 00:43:58,195 Speaker 1: But what you need to go and see is the 609 00:43:58,355 --> 00:44:01,715 Speaker 1: write up about Livy and what a force she was 610 00:44:01,795 --> 00:44:05,115 Speaker 1: and the influences that caused this, and how so you 611 00:44:05,195 --> 00:44:09,235 Speaker 1: know she had gained critical acclaim as a skilled pop singer, 612 00:44:09,555 --> 00:44:12,315 Speaker 1: gaining access to the powerful and the mysterious and turning 613 00:44:12,355 --> 00:44:17,835 Speaker 1: into pure upbeat disco gold or words to that effect. 614 00:44:17,875 --> 00:44:22,635 Speaker 1: It's the same writing she was fantasizing about being the 615 00:44:22,715 --> 00:44:27,435 Speaker 1: next what was what was the Tiffany? The next Tiffany 616 00:44:28,155 --> 00:44:31,075 Speaker 1: when she was fifteen, and she was fantasizing about being 617 00:44:31,835 --> 00:44:38,795 Speaker 1: missus Governor Mark Sandford in twenty twenty one more thing 618 00:44:38,795 --> 00:44:42,115 Speaker 1: about Sandford that he writes in a text exchange. I 619 00:44:42,155 --> 00:44:45,995 Speaker 1: also asked Olivia if she sent Mark Sandford any pictures 620 00:44:45,995 --> 00:44:48,955 Speaker 1: that might embarrass us if they became public. She insisted 621 00:44:48,955 --> 00:44:53,435 Speaker 1: that she only sent one inappropriate photo before or after 622 00:44:53,475 --> 00:44:57,595 Speaker 1: you had sex with him. I asked, after, why did 623 00:44:57,635 --> 00:45:01,475 Speaker 1: you send it? Honestly because I am, and then Olivia, 624 00:45:01,555 --> 00:45:04,755 Speaker 1: as was her, wont drops an F bomb and the 625 00:45:04,875 --> 00:45:13,035 Speaker 1: our word because I am fing rd all right, nudes 626 00:45:13,075 --> 00:45:16,835 Speaker 1: to Sanford or one nude to Sandford? There's a dispute 627 00:45:16,875 --> 00:45:18,595 Speaker 1: on that which we'll have to go to some sort 628 00:45:18,635 --> 00:45:21,195 Speaker 1: of international by maybe the UN can hold a hearing 629 00:45:21,235 --> 00:45:23,355 Speaker 1: as to whether or not she sent a nude or 630 00:45:23,435 --> 00:45:27,195 Speaker 1: multiple nudes to Mark Sandford. Liza was the one who 631 00:45:27,235 --> 00:45:30,755 Speaker 1: would originally let out the story. We believe, we believe 632 00:45:30,795 --> 00:45:32,395 Speaker 1: it was him. We don't know who the hell else 633 00:45:32,435 --> 00:45:34,955 Speaker 1: it could have been that said that there were nudes 634 00:45:34,995 --> 00:45:39,275 Speaker 1: to RFK, but they were tasteful. I can tell you 635 00:45:39,355 --> 00:45:42,835 Speaker 1: she sent me nudes and I said, look, they're great. 636 00:45:43,435 --> 00:45:45,995 Speaker 1: You take a great photo. And I am all for 637 00:45:46,115 --> 00:45:49,395 Speaker 1: freedom of expression. And you and I belong to different generations, 638 00:45:49,435 --> 00:45:51,955 Speaker 1: and I know you don't really have a concept of privacy, 639 00:45:52,155 --> 00:45:54,355 Speaker 1: and the photographs, the whole thing and the enginet is 640 00:45:54,395 --> 00:45:56,675 Speaker 1: prep But here's what I would do if you really 641 00:45:56,715 --> 00:45:59,715 Speaker 1: want to do this. I'm not going to discourage you 642 00:45:59,795 --> 00:46:02,875 Speaker 1: from this. I am a male. There is such a 643 00:46:02,915 --> 00:46:06,275 Speaker 1: thing as biology. Here's what you do. Take the photos 644 00:46:06,355 --> 00:46:09,155 Speaker 1: and print them out, or buy a polaroid camera and 645 00:46:09,195 --> 00:46:11,635 Speaker 1: take the pictures. I understand they're gonna have to be 646 00:46:11,635 --> 00:46:14,195 Speaker 1: a little bit better. You can't delete so many, or 647 00:46:14,515 --> 00:46:18,355 Speaker 1: you know, buy a little printer for your laptop or 648 00:46:18,355 --> 00:46:25,035 Speaker 1: whatever you're using your phone, and then delete everything. Delete, delete, delete, delete. 649 00:46:25,035 --> 00:46:29,235 Speaker 1: The delete button is your friend. I'm all for freedom 650 00:46:29,235 --> 00:46:32,955 Speaker 1: of expression. I'm all for modern technology. I'm all for 651 00:46:33,235 --> 00:46:37,835 Speaker 1: pictures of you that are salacious. That's great. But this 652 00:46:37,955 --> 00:46:40,395 Speaker 1: is this is not appropriate to send to me, and 653 00:46:40,435 --> 00:46:42,915 Speaker 1: it's certainly not appropriate to send to me over the internet. 654 00:46:43,075 --> 00:46:47,035 Speaker 1: There are ways to do this without without sending me, 655 00:46:47,555 --> 00:46:50,795 Speaker 1: you know, using the internet. Don't do that. They The 656 00:46:50,835 --> 00:46:55,235 Speaker 1: most important part about this is I will survive if 657 00:46:55,275 --> 00:46:58,635 Speaker 1: you send me nude photographs. I hate to tell you this, 658 00:46:58,755 --> 00:47:02,755 Speaker 1: hon but I'm fifty whatever years old. This won't be 659 00:47:02,795 --> 00:47:05,195 Speaker 1: the first time anybody sent me a nude phote photograph, 660 00:47:05,515 --> 00:47:08,835 Speaker 1: even since when before we had an internet it happened. 661 00:47:09,355 --> 00:47:12,355 Speaker 1: I have survived all this, and I've kept them all 662 00:47:12,395 --> 00:47:16,235 Speaker 1: confidential or destroyed them, almost always destroyed them. In fact, 663 00:47:16,275 --> 00:47:18,075 Speaker 1: I can't think of an occasion in which I didn't. 664 00:47:18,915 --> 00:47:24,475 Speaker 1: But they're sent via the Internet. Guess what I think. 665 00:47:24,555 --> 00:47:27,195 Speaker 1: Almost everything on the Internet, even the stuff you delete, 666 00:47:27,635 --> 00:47:35,795 Speaker 1: exists somewhere. They will harm you. They will harm you later, 667 00:47:38,635 --> 00:47:41,435 Speaker 1: as I said, I deleted the ones she sent as 668 00:47:41,475 --> 00:47:48,275 Speaker 1: they came in. Well, a couple minutes Acada damit back 669 00:47:48,395 --> 00:47:52,555 Speaker 1: to Ryan Liza already in progress eight dollars if you 670 00:47:52,555 --> 00:47:56,955 Speaker 1: want to read it yourself. Olivia develops addictive light attachments 671 00:47:56,995 --> 00:47:59,715 Speaker 1: to the men she loves, who are generally older and 672 00:47:59,875 --> 00:48:05,715 Speaker 1: more powerful, and she pursues them until she conquers them. 673 00:48:07,875 --> 00:48:10,115 Speaker 1: I can tell you, without fear of contradiction, it had 674 00:48:10,155 --> 00:48:12,875 Speaker 1: never occurred to me until I read this and other 675 00:48:12,955 --> 00:48:14,955 Speaker 1: things that were written in the last week that she 676 00:48:15,115 --> 00:48:18,435 Speaker 1: might have pursued me. I didn't get that feeling at all. 677 00:48:20,635 --> 00:48:23,315 Speaker 1: It's not to say that's not the case, particularly if 678 00:48:23,355 --> 00:48:26,435 Speaker 1: she's adept at it or was developing skills like this, 679 00:48:26,755 --> 00:48:32,115 Speaker 1: it would explain in any event. There's a quote, now, 680 00:48:32,155 --> 00:48:35,195 Speaker 1: this is twenty twenty, so this is pre RFK Junior 681 00:48:35,675 --> 00:48:39,195 Speaker 1: and after Mark Sandford and Liziit quotes her as saying, 682 00:48:39,355 --> 00:48:41,515 Speaker 1: I'm three for three. She said to me in a 683 00:48:41,555 --> 00:48:46,875 Speaker 1: moment of levity after the affair with Mark I'm not 684 00:48:46,915 --> 00:48:52,835 Speaker 1: going to just assume that I am addictive like attachments 685 00:48:52,875 --> 00:48:56,155 Speaker 1: to the men she loves. She didn't show any addictive 686 00:48:56,355 --> 00:48:59,515 Speaker 1: like behavior towards me. It was really normal. She once 687 00:48:59,555 --> 00:49:01,355 Speaker 1: got mad at me because I didn't say I love you. 688 00:49:01,395 --> 00:49:05,555 Speaker 1: At the end of a conversation, she said, what about 689 00:49:05,595 --> 00:49:10,355 Speaker 1: saying it? I'm sorry once. There was not addictive behavior. 690 00:49:10,395 --> 00:49:13,395 Speaker 1: She didn't follow me around. She didn't place, you know, 691 00:49:14,755 --> 00:49:19,675 Speaker 1: air pods or not air pods air tags on me 692 00:49:19,795 --> 00:49:23,795 Speaker 1: to see where I was. She didn't call five minutes 693 00:49:23,835 --> 00:49:25,555 Speaker 1: before the show to make sure I was in the studio. 694 00:49:26,075 --> 00:49:31,315 Speaker 1: She didn't do that stuff others may have. So I'm 695 00:49:31,355 --> 00:49:33,395 Speaker 1: not sure that I'm three for three here, But I'm 696 00:49:33,435 --> 00:49:35,715 Speaker 1: just interested if I'm not. If it's not three for 697 00:49:35,795 --> 00:49:40,395 Speaker 1: three at the three here or not me Liza and 698 00:49:41,395 --> 00:49:44,555 Speaker 1: former governor of North Carolina as of twenty twenty. I'm 699 00:49:44,555 --> 00:49:47,915 Speaker 1: interested to him is there another politician besides RFK and 700 00:49:47,955 --> 00:49:53,395 Speaker 1: Mark Sandford. I'm wondering what he's hinting. Now. This is 701 00:49:53,435 --> 00:49:56,115 Speaker 1: a part that I don't really fully understand. Aside from 702 00:49:56,155 --> 00:49:59,435 Speaker 1: that notable moment of bragging, Olivia was mostly deeply apologetic 703 00:49:59,435 --> 00:50:02,235 Speaker 1: and ashamed. She offered to pay back our book advance 704 00:50:02,275 --> 00:50:08,155 Speaker 1: because the affair had sabotaged the project. Okay, how in 705 00:50:08,195 --> 00:50:16,075 Speaker 1: the hell did that happen? I mean, you're right. She 706 00:50:16,235 --> 00:50:18,955 Speaker 1: spiraled into self loathing and self pity about what an 707 00:50:19,075 --> 00:50:22,155 Speaker 1: f f up she was. Other times she unloaded on 708 00:50:22,235 --> 00:50:23,915 Speaker 1: me and says, listing all the ways I had made 709 00:50:23,955 --> 00:50:27,315 Speaker 1: mistakes in our relationship and insisting that she deserved another chance. 710 00:50:27,875 --> 00:50:30,435 Speaker 1: By the fall of twenty twenty two, we were engaged. 711 00:50:33,635 --> 00:50:37,275 Speaker 1: Excuse I have one. I have a series of small questions. 712 00:50:38,275 --> 00:50:43,995 Speaker 1: We go from deeply apologetic, ashamed, offering to pay back 713 00:50:44,035 --> 00:50:48,235 Speaker 1: the book advance, self loathing, self pity, unloading on him 714 00:50:48,595 --> 00:50:51,395 Speaker 1: all the ways he made mistakes, insisting she deserved another check. 715 00:50:51,435 --> 00:50:53,675 Speaker 1: By the fall of twenty twenty two, we were engaged. 716 00:50:53,995 --> 00:50:56,795 Speaker 1: Couldn't there have at least been like a graphic in 717 00:50:56,875 --> 00:50:59,955 Speaker 1: there that said later? What I mean, how do you 718 00:50:59,995 --> 00:51:04,635 Speaker 1: go from that to we were engaged? I understand, becau, 719 00:51:04,675 --> 00:51:06,675 Speaker 1: because I am one hundred and twenty seven years old 720 00:51:07,155 --> 00:51:09,515 Speaker 1: that in a relationship, if you're going to continue after 721 00:51:09,555 --> 00:51:13,355 Speaker 1: some crisis, especially the crisis of infidelity, you're going to 722 00:51:13,395 --> 00:51:16,915 Speaker 1: have to buy in completely. I understand that. But the 723 00:51:17,075 --> 00:51:21,355 Speaker 1: jump from unloading on me listing all the ways I 724 00:51:21,395 --> 00:51:24,635 Speaker 1: had made mistakes. What an f up? She was, self loathing, 725 00:51:24,715 --> 00:51:27,795 Speaker 1: self pity, insisting she deserved another chance. Jumping directly from 726 00:51:27,795 --> 00:51:35,715 Speaker 1: that too, we're engaged, like what although one thing does 727 00:51:36,555 --> 00:51:40,075 Speaker 1: does encourage me with this? I used to be sent 728 00:51:40,195 --> 00:51:42,915 Speaker 1: by a friend of mine who liked to push a 729 00:51:42,995 --> 00:51:46,795 Speaker 1: particular button posts that they would make on Facebook in 730 00:51:46,835 --> 00:51:49,675 Speaker 1: which they would you report from being in Italy or something, 731 00:51:49,715 --> 00:51:52,915 Speaker 1: and the showing the ring in such a way that 732 00:51:52,995 --> 00:51:55,515 Speaker 1: it was larger than her head, and she has a 733 00:51:55,555 --> 00:51:57,675 Speaker 1: pretty big head or his head, and he has a 734 00:51:57,715 --> 00:52:01,195 Speaker 1: pretty big head photographing it. So just you saw the 735 00:52:01,275 --> 00:52:04,395 Speaker 1: diamond on the ring. And my friend would send these 736 00:52:04,395 --> 00:52:06,435 Speaker 1: two me and go, is this the most garish thing 737 00:52:06,435 --> 00:52:08,995 Speaker 1: you've ever seen in your life? And I was like, yes, well, 738 00:52:09,515 --> 00:52:12,795 Speaker 1: at least we know that all those gushing words I 739 00:52:12,875 --> 00:52:16,515 Speaker 1: love you more every passing day. At least those things 740 00:52:16,555 --> 00:52:21,515 Speaker 1: that looked too stupid to be real were too stupid 741 00:52:21,715 --> 00:52:25,595 Speaker 1: to be real. Let me leave you with a lighter 742 00:52:25,635 --> 00:52:28,155 Speaker 1: note from Ryan lizzb I asked her to remove her 743 00:52:28,195 --> 00:52:30,995 Speaker 1: engagement ring. This is after he decided to throw her 744 00:52:30,995 --> 00:52:34,115 Speaker 1: out in August twenty twenty four, and I was surprised 745 00:52:34,155 --> 00:52:38,355 Speaker 1: by her stunned response. I'm not taking that off, she 746 00:52:38,515 --> 00:52:41,355 Speaker 1: screamed as she began sobbing. I don't want to take 747 00:52:41,395 --> 00:52:45,875 Speaker 1: it off. Well, of course not Ryan. Of course she 748 00:52:45,915 --> 00:52:49,315 Speaker 1: wouldn't take it off. She was presumably planning to keep 749 00:52:49,355 --> 00:52:52,235 Speaker 1: it and sell it, like the commitment ring that I 750 00:52:52,275 --> 00:52:57,435 Speaker 1: had bought her, which somehow, Ryan, you knew the value 751 00:52:57,475 --> 00:53:03,395 Speaker 1: of thirteen years after I bought it for her. Who knows? 752 00:53:03,435 --> 00:53:05,715 Speaker 1: Maybe she and Ryan and split the money on the 753 00:53:05,715 --> 00:53:13,715 Speaker 1: commitment ring. We're the engagement ring? Oh news? Anybody checked eBay? 754 00:53:14,515 --> 00:53:17,035 Speaker 1: One last note from The New York Times, which I mentioned, 755 00:53:17,075 --> 00:53:19,435 Speaker 1: which was the first to report that Vanity Fair was 756 00:53:19,475 --> 00:53:23,835 Speaker 1: reviewing its relationship with Olivia News. I'll bet it is like, 757 00:53:23,995 --> 00:53:27,795 Speaker 1: let's review how many people here should be fired because 758 00:53:27,795 --> 00:53:30,995 Speaker 1: we hired Olivia Newsy without knowing that this is a 759 00:53:31,035 --> 00:53:34,595 Speaker 1: serial thing and she has no value to us whatsoever, 760 00:53:34,675 --> 00:53:39,475 Speaker 1: except possibly as a model if we can find her eyebrows. 761 00:53:40,075 --> 00:53:43,035 Speaker 1: Is the Times reviewing its fawning profile of her a 762 00:53:43,075 --> 00:53:46,835 Speaker 1: week ago today, in which Carl Bernstein's son missed every 763 00:53:46,875 --> 00:53:52,115 Speaker 1: single news story that has dominated one corner of the 764 00:53:52,155 --> 00:53:58,635 Speaker 1: news business since I mean, frankly, sir, you are over 765 00:53:58,715 --> 00:54:03,195 Speaker 1: two hundred and sixteen their story after story after story, 766 00:54:03,715 --> 00:54:06,115 Speaker 1: even if you're just doing what The Times is now doing, 767 00:54:06,275 --> 00:54:09,315 Speaker 1: which is what I'm doing to some degree, aggregating and 768 00:54:09,355 --> 00:54:12,435 Speaker 1: commenting on what this guy keeps putting on his substack 769 00:54:12,675 --> 00:54:17,595 Speaker 1: eight dollars. Anyway, in the Times piece, which, as I said, 770 00:54:17,835 --> 00:54:20,515 Speaker 1: nobody actually read because within three hours it was all 771 00:54:20,635 --> 00:54:23,115 Speaker 1: Part two is up. It's all about Robert F. Kennedy 772 00:54:23,155 --> 00:54:29,875 Speaker 1: and his rules about oral sex. Notice I skipped that anyway. 773 00:54:30,235 --> 00:54:34,715 Speaker 1: I was in the Times article. I was quoted describing 774 00:54:34,755 --> 00:54:38,035 Speaker 1: my relationship with her with the rings, with the dogs, 775 00:54:38,115 --> 00:54:42,555 Speaker 1: with the tattoos as marriage e. It's not an elegant word, 776 00:54:42,795 --> 00:54:44,915 Speaker 1: but it was apt, and in fact I was quoting Olivia. 777 00:54:44,955 --> 00:54:48,435 Speaker 1: That was her word, what kind of marriage ee? This 778 00:54:48,595 --> 00:54:50,635 Speaker 1: is the quote that they got from her. She actually 779 00:54:50,675 --> 00:54:53,835 Speaker 1: responded to this. Ms Noozy apparently does not consider her 780 00:54:53,835 --> 00:54:57,475 Speaker 1: relationship with mister Olderman to have been marriage ye quote. 781 00:54:57,635 --> 00:55:00,755 Speaker 1: I have not ever before and will not now acknowledge 782 00:55:00,755 --> 00:55:05,035 Speaker 1: any claims made by this person, she wrote in a text. 783 00:55:05,875 --> 00:55:08,315 Speaker 1: By the way, this sums her all up.

The idea of 830 00:58:44,675 --> 00:58:47,715 Speaker 1: them buying CNN and merging it into CBS is real 831 00:58:47,835 --> 00:58:52,195 Speaker 1: enough that they are offering to essentially shoot CNN anchors. 832 00:58:52,235 --> 00:58:55,155 Speaker 1: The White House doesn't like if Trump will let them 833 00:58:55,635 --> 00:58:59,475 Speaker 1: buy the company that owns CNN and merge CNN into 834 00:58:59,555 --> 00:59:03,595 Speaker 1: CBS News. From The Guardian, senior White House officials have 835 00:59:03,675 --> 00:59:07,755 Speaker 1: discussed internally their preference for Paramount sky Dance. Those are 836 00:59:07,755 --> 00:59:13,835 Speaker 1: the Ellisons to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery. One official has 837 00:59:13,915 --> 00:59:19,915 Speaker 1: discussed potential programming changes at CNN with Larry Ellison. According 838 00:59:19,915 --> 00:59:23,275 Speaker 1: to people familiar, they come as Paramount portrays itself as 839 00:59:23,315 --> 00:59:26,155 Speaker 1: the best bid blah blah blah, because it'd be easier 840 00:59:26,155 --> 00:59:30,515 Speaker 1: to get through regulatory review. Ellison often speaks to connections 841 00:59:30,555 --> 00:59:33,115 Speaker 1: at the White House and in at least one phone call, 842 00:59:33,195 --> 00:59:36,795 Speaker 1: according to the Guardian's Hugo Lowell engaged in a dialogue 843 00:59:36,795 --> 00:59:40,875 Speaker 1: about possibly axing some of the CNN hosts whom Donald 844 00:59:40,875 --> 00:59:44,995 Speaker 1: Trump is said to loathe, including Aaron Burnett and Brianna Keeler. 845 00:59:45,155 --> 00:59:49,995 Speaker 1: The people said, now, I have no use for Aaron Burnett, who, 846 00:59:49,995 --> 00:59:53,315 Speaker 1: if you remember, on her first day as a news anchor, 847 00:59:53,395 --> 00:59:57,515 Speaker 1: after years doing business on CNBC, went on the air 848 00:59:58,395 --> 01:00:01,435 Speaker 1: during the time of Occupy Wall Street and went to 849 01:00:01,515 --> 01:00:05,275 Speaker 1: Wall Street and had herself videotaped sitting on Wall Street 850 01:00:05,315 --> 01:00:08,955 Speaker 1: and saying, oh, look, I'm occupying Wall Street and mocked 851 01:00:09,035 --> 01:00:11,875 Speaker 1: the entire concept of it, and thought she would get 852 01:00:12,235 --> 01:00:14,995 Speaker 1: some sort of Emmy award for it, or perhaps a 853 01:00:15,075 --> 01:00:18,275 Speaker 1: lifetime Emmy award for it. I have no use for 854 01:00:18,315 --> 01:00:23,635 Speaker 1: her none. I have previously called for Brianna Keeler to 855 01:00:23,635 --> 01:00:27,435 Speaker 1: be fired because she was serving the Trump interests. But 856 01:00:27,555 --> 01:00:31,075 Speaker 1: this is something else. This is now advanced to the 857 01:00:31,115 --> 01:00:34,435 Speaker 1: stage in which the White House would get to essentially 858 01:00:34,515 --> 01:00:39,595 Speaker 1: pick the personnel lineup for primetime and other times on CNN. 859 01:00:40,995 --> 01:00:43,915 Speaker 1: We have entered into a period of time in which 860 01:00:43,995 --> 01:00:47,275 Speaker 1: the best thing that could happen for CNN, and maybe 861 01:00:47,315 --> 01:00:50,035 Speaker 1: at this point for CBS News is for it to 862 01:00:50,115 --> 01:00:55,875 Speaker 1: be sold for scrap, sell the cameras to some country 863 01:00:55,875 --> 01:01:02,515 Speaker 1: that actually does the news, like Ecuador, and yet trying 864 01:01:02,515 --> 01:01:05,475 Speaker 1: to get rid of all these terrible anchors at White 865 01:01:05,475 --> 01:01:11,435 Speaker 1: House request. Jake Tapper is somehow safe. Jake Tapper tweeted 866 01:01:11,475 --> 01:01:13,955 Speaker 1: after a woman reporter asked about President Trump's name being 867 01:01:13,995 --> 01:01:17,035 Speaker 1: raised an email sent by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. 868 01:01:17,235 --> 01:01:21,795 Speaker 1: Trump snaps at her quiet piggy Jenna Ellis, remember her 869 01:01:22,475 --> 01:01:26,715 Speaker 1: the least competent besides the Kraken woman of all of 870 01:01:26,755 --> 01:01:32,515 Speaker 1: Trump's twenty twenty deniers. Jenna Ellis, assistant to Rudy Giuliani. 871 01:01:33,635 --> 01:01:38,355 Speaker 1: My god, actually retweeted this, then deleted. It isn't the 872 01:01:38,395 --> 01:01:42,035 Speaker 1: reporter's name, Peggy. Come on, Jake, at least pretend harder 873 01:01:42,075 --> 01:01:48,075 Speaker 1: to be a journalist. Yeah. I heard that too. To 874 01:01:48,155 --> 01:01:50,915 Speaker 1: be fair, On the other hand, I didn't tweet it 875 01:01:51,035 --> 01:01:55,795 Speaker 1: or say it on the air. You know, search engines 876 01:01:55,835 --> 01:02:01,915 Speaker 1: are our friend, Peggy. Peggy Ellis, Catherine Lucy was her name. 877 01:02:01,915 --> 01:02:06,315 Speaker 1: It's close close, Jenna Ellis close, speaking of close our 878 01:02:06,395 --> 01:02:12,835 Speaker 1: winners Catterird and Laura Fruitcake of the Lumer They are 879 01:02:12,875 --> 01:02:16,395 Speaker 1: not happy no matter how much Trump is happy. They 880 01:02:16,435 --> 01:02:20,715 Speaker 1: are not happy with Mayor Elect Mamdani. They are not happy. 881 01:02:21,835 --> 01:02:24,435 Speaker 1: Polymarket put out a tweet which was designed to get 882 01:02:24,475 --> 01:02:27,275 Speaker 1: exactly this response. Somebody pointed it out it was an 883 01:02:27,395 --> 01:02:31,955 Speaker 1: IQ test and guess who didn't pass. The tweet was 884 01:02:32,075 --> 01:02:35,675 Speaker 1: breaking Zora and Mamdani to require all New York elementary 885 01:02:35,675 --> 01:02:44,555 Speaker 1: school students to learn Arabic numerals. Catterd responded, that's not 886 01:02:44,715 --> 01:02:46,915 Speaker 1: far enough. He should make every school kid in New 887 01:02:46,955 --> 01:02:51,235 Speaker 1: York only speak Arabic, no English. The insane liberal Karens 888 01:02:51,275 --> 01:02:54,235 Speaker 1: voted for this complete nut. Let them reap what they sow. 889 01:02:57,555 --> 01:03:00,075 Speaker 1: And Laura Lumer, you know things are bad when you 890 01:03:00,115 --> 01:03:02,395 Speaker 1: can't tell if this is real or a joke. Dear God, 891 01:03:02,435 --> 01:03:08,755 Speaker 1: it's real, isn't it now? Laura Lumer is a child 892 01:03:09,155 --> 01:03:12,035 Speaker 1: who wears a lot of makeup, so she can perhaps 893 01:03:12,155 --> 01:03:16,475 Speaker 1: be excused for being this stupid for not knowing what 894 01:03:16,555 --> 01:03:19,675 Speaker 1: Arabic numerals are. But this guy cat Turd is in 895 01:03:19,835 --> 01:03:22,635 Speaker 1: like his like in his nineties, or he's one hundred 896 01:03:22,635 --> 01:03:25,435 Speaker 1: and ten or something. He should have found out by now, 897 01:03:25,515 --> 01:03:29,315 Speaker 1: even with the background that he has, that Arabic numerals 898 01:03:29,395 --> 01:03:34,075 Speaker 1: are one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight nine. 899 01:03:34,675 --> 01:03:39,555 Speaker 1: I believe the zero originates elsewhere, but one through nine 900 01:03:39,595 --> 01:03:49,275 Speaker 1: are Arabic numerals. Somebody added worse than all this, Madady 901 01:03:49,475 --> 01:03:52,075 Speaker 1: is also going to make sure that the City of 902 01:03:52,115 --> 01:03:58,275 Speaker 1: New York teaches non binary numbers. Lomer and cat turd 903 01:03:59,235 --> 01:04:32,595 Speaker 1: morons today's other worst persons in the world. Once again, 904 01:04:32,835 --> 01:04:35,555 Speaker 1: how could you just before you do that, how could 905 01:04:35,555 --> 01:04:37,755 Speaker 1: you not check to see if you're being set up 906 01:04:38,995 --> 01:04:42,395 Speaker 1: right next to wherever your Twitter is or your ex 907 01:04:42,475 --> 01:04:45,995 Speaker 1: or your Blue Sky or your Blue Chew or whatever 908 01:04:46,035 --> 01:04:50,875 Speaker 1: it is you're using.
