1 00:00:04,795 --> 00:00:25,515 Speaker 1: Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. How 2 00:00:25,595 --> 00:00:32,635 Speaker 1: much time does Trump have left? Because from beyond the grave, 3 00:00:33,315 --> 00:00:37,035 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein has accused Trump and there is a smoking gun, 4 00:00:38,075 --> 00:00:42,355 Speaker 1: maybe four of them. And now Trump and his Republicans, 5 00:00:42,795 --> 00:00:45,595 Speaker 1: especially Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, and his magaan 6 00:00:45,755 --> 00:00:49,755 Speaker 1: nablers and his Fox News whores, are complicit in an 7 00:00:49,755 --> 00:00:55,995 Speaker 1: extraordinary disgusting cover up again, a cover up of pedophilia, 8 00:00:56,275 --> 00:00:59,755 Speaker 1: a cover up of corruption at Pam Bondi's doj, a 9 00:00:59,835 --> 00:01:03,155 Speaker 1: cover up of Epstein's crimes, a new cover up right 10 00:01:03,195 --> 00:01:06,595 Speaker 1: now playing out in real time as Trump tries to 11 00:01:06,795 --> 00:01:11,995 Speaker 1: blackmail Republicans into burying the Epstein files, and most of all, 12 00:01:12,155 --> 00:01:18,755 Speaker 1: a cover up of Trump's guilt of the allegations that 13 00:01:18,795 --> 00:01:23,075 Speaker 1: one of Epstein's female victims quote spent hours at Epstein's 14 00:01:23,115 --> 00:01:27,275 Speaker 1: house with Trump, unquote, that Trump was quote that dog 15 00:01:27,355 --> 00:01:31,315 Speaker 1: that hasn't barked and quote has never once been mentioned. 16 00:01:31,955 --> 00:01:36,075 Speaker 1: Those specific allegations made by Jeffrey Epstein in twenty eleven 17 00:01:36,755 --> 00:01:43,195 Speaker 1: and acknowledged by Galaine Maxwell minutes later by email. Trump 18 00:01:43,395 --> 00:01:48,475 Speaker 1: is guilty. In an unusual twist, we will find out 19 00:01:48,555 --> 00:01:53,595 Speaker 1: what he is guilty of later, but Epstein has provided 20 00:01:53,635 --> 00:01:58,235 Speaker 1: the evidence that almost everything Trump has said about Epstein 21 00:01:58,395 --> 00:02:06,235 Speaker 1: and him is not true. And now, if Trump follows 22 00:02:06,275 --> 00:02:08,715 Speaker 1: the path he has been on for several months and 23 00:02:08,875 --> 00:02:13,715 Speaker 1: pardons Maxwell or commutes her sentence, it could very easily 24 00:02:13,755 --> 00:02:18,515 Speaker 1: cost him his presidency because a pardon or commutation for 25 00:02:18,675 --> 00:02:24,515 Speaker 1: her would be his confession. And now, as Trump panics 26 00:02:24,635 --> 00:02:29,275 Speaker 1: and twice insists it's all a hoax while his enablers 27 00:02:29,475 --> 00:02:32,755 Speaker 1: urgently meet in the White House, we must ask what 28 00:02:33,035 --> 00:02:37,515 Speaker 1: is next? What is in the Epstein files that the 29 00:02:37,555 --> 00:02:40,835 Speaker 1: Republicans in the House who have been blocking their release, 30 00:02:40,915 --> 00:02:43,075 Speaker 1: and those in the Senate who will try to what 31 00:02:43,475 --> 00:02:46,715 Speaker 1: is it that they are so terrified by if it 32 00:02:46,955 --> 00:02:50,755 Speaker 1: wasn't what was released yesterday? And we must ask, now 33 00:02:50,755 --> 00:02:54,355 Speaker 1: that Epstein has managed to convict Trump of at least 34 00:02:54,475 --> 00:02:58,795 Speaker 1: a decade's long cover up, to what lengths will Trump 35 00:02:58,835 --> 00:03:01,795 Speaker 1: go to stop the release of the files? And we 36 00:03:01,915 --> 00:03:06,035 Speaker 1: must ask when will Trump's role in the Epstein crimes, 37 00:03:06,155 --> 00:03:09,035 Speaker 1: in his past cover ups of them, in his current 38 00:03:09,155 --> 00:03:11,675 Speaker 1: cover up of them, in his cover up of whatever 39 00:03:11,755 --> 00:03:15,875 Speaker 1: he is guilty of. When will the true horror of 40 00:03:15,955 --> 00:03:20,515 Speaker 1: Trump's guilt become so overwhelming, so disqualifying, that Republicans will 41 00:03:20,555 --> 00:03:23,195 Speaker 1: have to make the choice between covering up for Trump 42 00:03:24,075 --> 00:03:27,835 Speaker 1: or saving themselves, because that and that alone is the 43 00:03:27,835 --> 00:03:30,875 Speaker 1: moment at which those who have enabled Trump for the 44 00:03:30,955 --> 00:03:35,155 Speaker 1: last decade will become those who will remove Trump, the 45 00:03:35,235 --> 00:03:42,315 Speaker 1: moment at which his public survival means their extinction, or, 46 00:03:42,475 --> 00:03:45,315 Speaker 1: if you prefer to put it this way, their public 47 00:03:45,395 --> 00:03:52,915 Speaker 1: survival means his presidential extinction. How much time does Trump 48 00:03:52,955 --> 00:04:01,435 Speaker 1: have left before Epstein destroys him? To analyze what was 49 00:04:01,515 --> 00:04:04,395 Speaker 1: released yesterday by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, there 50 00:04:04,395 --> 00:04:07,115 Speaker 1: could be, in fact as many as four smoking guns, 51 00:04:07,155 --> 00:04:10,635 Speaker 1: the first one obviously damning more because it is Epstein 52 00:04:10,795 --> 00:04:15,355 Speaker 1: questioning with evident astonishment in twenty eleven, four years before 53 00:04:15,395 --> 00:04:19,435 Speaker 1: Trump even considered running for president, astonished that Trump's name 54 00:04:19,475 --> 00:04:23,955 Speaker 1: had not yet come up related to Epstein's circle. His 55 00:04:24,075 --> 00:04:28,515 Speaker 1: phrase the dog that hasn't barked, That is from Sherlock Holmes. 56 00:04:29,195 --> 00:04:32,435 Speaker 1: That is about a dog that should have reacted negatively 57 00:04:32,595 --> 00:04:35,435 Speaker 1: to some stranger coming in to steal the horse, only 58 00:04:35,475 --> 00:04:39,235 Speaker 1: he didn't bark. Therefore, the conclusion was the guy who 59 00:04:39,315 --> 00:04:42,915 Speaker 1: stole the horse was not a stranger. The dog knew him. 60 00:04:43,195 --> 00:04:47,755 Speaker 1: That's the dog that hasn't barked. The part about the 61 00:04:47,955 --> 00:04:52,515 Speaker 1: hours with the redacted victim's name, that's almost less important 62 00:04:52,515 --> 00:04:55,835 Speaker 1: here because that is probably Virginia Guffrey. The Republicans are 63 00:04:55,915 --> 00:04:59,635 Speaker 1: loudly proclaiming it's her, and she also did once claim 64 00:04:59,675 --> 00:05:02,875 Speaker 1: Trump had been gentlemanly towards her, So the relevance of 65 00:05:02,915 --> 00:05:06,555 Speaker 1: that seems to be more about Trump being in Epstein's 66 00:05:06,635 --> 00:05:12,195 Speaker 1: home with any of his women victims. There is, however, 67 00:05:12,315 --> 00:05:15,955 Speaker 1: this line from another email an Epstein offered to a 68 00:05:16,075 --> 00:05:19,595 Speaker 1: New York Times reporter quote, would you like photos of 69 00:05:19,675 --> 00:05:24,995 Speaker 1: Donald and girls in bikinis in my kitchen? There is 70 00:05:25,075 --> 00:05:27,755 Speaker 1: no doubt that Donald is Trump. There's a reference in 71 00:05:27,795 --> 00:05:29,995 Speaker 1: the same thread with the New York Times reporter to 72 00:05:30,115 --> 00:05:33,155 Speaker 1: quote my twenty year old girlfriend in ninety three that 73 00:05:33,275 --> 00:05:38,355 Speaker 1: after two years I gave to Donald What did he 74 00:05:38,395 --> 00:05:44,315 Speaker 1: give to Donald? Photos or the girlfriend? There is a 75 00:05:44,355 --> 00:05:48,635 Speaker 1: thread about Epstein recounting his interactions with the Russian foreign 76 00:05:48,635 --> 00:05:54,155 Speaker 1: minister and thug Sergei Lavrov, trying to help Lavrov understand Trump, 77 00:05:54,555 --> 00:05:58,235 Speaker 1: serving as some sort of consultant to the Russians about 78 00:05:58,275 --> 00:06:01,075 Speaker 1: how to deal with Trump, which extends the scandal into 79 00:06:01,155 --> 00:06:04,435 Speaker 1: yet another area that may, in fact, long term proof 80 00:06:04,835 --> 00:06:09,515 Speaker 1: are more deleterious to Trump than the Epstein per se 81 00:06:09,875 --> 00:06:14,355 Speaker 1: sex ring and crimes. And then there is the fourth 82 00:06:14,555 --> 00:06:18,195 Speaker 1: smoking gun, one that some readers are really hyped up 83 00:06:18,275 --> 00:06:21,795 Speaker 1: about Mary A. Lago Epstein notes to author Michael Wolfe 84 00:06:21,795 --> 00:06:24,715 Speaker 1: in another email quote, Trump said, he asked me to resign. 85 00:06:25,155 --> 00:06:28,515 Speaker 1: Never remember Ever, of course he knew about the girls, 86 00:06:28,595 --> 00:06:32,915 Speaker 1: as he asked Glane to stop. Sure, he is damning sounding, 87 00:06:32,955 --> 00:06:36,715 Speaker 1: But what if knowing about the girls meant that Trump 88 00:06:36,835 --> 00:06:42,155 Speaker 1: knew about Epstein recruiting women from Mary Lago, as Trump 89 00:06:42,195 --> 00:06:46,755 Speaker 1: has claimed, and that he asked Maxwell to stop recruiting 90 00:06:47,275 --> 00:06:50,555 Speaker 1: from Mary Lago. So that one, I think is too 91 00:06:50,635 --> 00:06:52,875 Speaker 1: vague to have much meaning. The other three are not. 92 00:06:54,275 --> 00:06:59,635 Speaker 1: But then again, all of this is one cube off 93 00:06:59,675 --> 00:07:03,595 Speaker 1: the tip of the proverbial iceberg. By midday yesterday, Trump 94 00:07:03,635 --> 00:07:06,555 Speaker 1: had panicked so much that he had twice posted again, 95 00:07:06,875 --> 00:07:11,075 Speaker 1: calling I guess the entire pedophilia scandal and all of 96 00:07:11,075 --> 00:07:16,515 Speaker 1: the crimes and his cover up of it, Trump's cover 97 00:07:16,635 --> 00:07:19,355 Speaker 1: up of the Epstein files. He called it the Jeffrey 98 00:07:19,395 --> 00:07:25,875 Speaker 1: Epstein hoax. Say that twenty more times in public, and 99 00:07:25,995 --> 00:07:29,835 Speaker 1: you will lose what remains of Maga. And last night 100 00:07:29,955 --> 00:07:33,715 Speaker 1: Nick Fuentes, whose words I ordinarily would give no value 101 00:07:33,755 --> 00:07:39,475 Speaker 1: to whatsoever, declared that Maga is dead. After this, it 102 00:07:39,555 --> 00:07:41,955 Speaker 1: had also been revealed by midday yesterday that Trump had 103 00:07:41,995 --> 00:07:46,955 Speaker 1: personally pitched Lauren Bobert on Tuesday to take her name 104 00:07:47,075 --> 00:07:51,235 Speaker 1: off the discharge petition that will now force the vote 105 00:07:51,275 --> 00:07:54,475 Speaker 1: compelling the release of the Epstein files. The House vote 106 00:07:54,915 --> 00:07:57,875 Speaker 1: we have been hearing so much about the one that 107 00:07:58,075 --> 00:08:01,195 Speaker 1: the shutdown was really about to keep Adelie A. Grijalva 108 00:08:01,875 --> 00:08:05,115 Speaker 1: from being registered as an official member of Congress and 109 00:08:05,155 --> 00:08:10,435 Speaker 1: being the two hundred and eighteenth name on the discharge petition. Yesterday, 110 00:08:10,555 --> 00:08:14,755 Speaker 1: they ratcheted this up when Trump's phone calls to Bobert 111 00:08:14,795 --> 00:08:16,915 Speaker 1: to try to get her to remove her name did 112 00:08:16,915 --> 00:08:21,675 Speaker 1: not work. There was a crash meeting with Lauren Bobert 113 00:08:22,075 --> 00:08:27,475 Speaker 1: in the White House in the Situation Room. The Situation room, 114 00:08:27,955 --> 00:08:31,675 Speaker 1: you know where President Obama and his key cabinet members 115 00:08:31,715 --> 00:08:35,835 Speaker 1: watched the taking out of Osama bin Laden. This time 116 00:08:36,275 --> 00:08:41,035 Speaker 1: it was Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, 117 00:08:41,395 --> 00:08:45,235 Speaker 1: FBI Director Cash Patel a group that two years ago 118 00:08:45,275 --> 00:08:48,475 Speaker 1: would have been a bad night's panel on a Hannity Show, 119 00:08:49,635 --> 00:08:53,675 Speaker 1: Patel evidently taking time off from flying to boink his 120 00:08:53,795 --> 00:08:59,435 Speaker 1: country singer girlfriend on Our Dime. Obama monitored the death 121 00:08:59,515 --> 00:09:04,395 Speaker 1: of Bin Laden in the situation room. Trump's enablers monitored 122 00:09:04,435 --> 00:09:07,875 Speaker 1: in the situation room whether they could convince a congresswoman 123 00:09:07,995 --> 00:09:12,795 Speaker 1: whose husband allegedly exposed himself to females and was caught 124 00:09:12,915 --> 00:09:18,875 Speaker 1: on film manipulating a constituent during the play, whether they 125 00:09:18,915 --> 00:09:21,755 Speaker 1: could convince her the Epstein thing wasn't all that bad 126 00:09:23,635 --> 00:09:26,715 Speaker 1: and it didn't work any Cardian of The New York 127 00:09:26,755 --> 00:09:29,755 Speaker 1: Times reported quote by understanding is that the relentless pressure 128 00:09:29,795 --> 00:09:34,195 Speaker 1: campaign that has included carrot stick, good Cop, Bad Cop 129 00:09:34,475 --> 00:09:38,035 Speaker 1: has made her even more dug in, suspicious, and convinced 130 00:09:38,035 --> 00:09:45,235 Speaker 1: there's a conspiracy at play. So, unlike Lauren Bobert, they 131 00:09:45,275 --> 00:09:51,275 Speaker 1: didn't pull it off. Next. Republican leadership has warned the 132 00:09:51,275 --> 00:09:54,195 Speaker 1: White House to prepare for the deluge when the vote 133 00:09:54,235 --> 00:09:56,995 Speaker 1: forced by this discharge petition takes place. The number of 134 00:09:57,035 --> 00:09:59,675 Speaker 1: House Republicans who will vote for it and thus vote 135 00:09:59,675 --> 00:10:03,755 Speaker 1: against Trump will be per Politico sources, in the dozens 136 00:10:04,875 --> 00:10:11,715 Speaker 1: quote possibly one hundred or more. Now it is hardly 137 00:10:11,715 --> 00:10:15,515 Speaker 1: among the foremost atrocities in this disaster. But Attorney General 138 00:10:15,555 --> 00:10:19,235 Speaker 1: Bondi looks like even more of an idiot now with 139 00:10:19,355 --> 00:10:22,635 Speaker 1: her little white notebooks that did not include any of 140 00:10:22,675 --> 00:10:28,155 Speaker 1: this good stuff. At her deputy, mister Todd Blanche, who 141 00:10:28,155 --> 00:10:31,075 Speaker 1: would have had access to all of these emails released 142 00:10:31,155 --> 00:10:33,995 Speaker 1: yesterday and yet, based on the transcripts, never asked anything 143 00:10:34,035 --> 00:10:36,235 Speaker 1: remotely close to being about them when he went to 144 00:10:36,275 --> 00:10:39,715 Speaker 1: see Gullane Maxwell in her Florida penitentiary right before they 145 00:10:39,755 --> 00:10:42,595 Speaker 1: moved her to Club Fed in Texas. Mister Blanche now 146 00:10:42,755 --> 00:10:46,675 Speaker 1: sure sounds like a candidate for disbarment sometime in the 147 00:10:46,715 --> 00:10:51,875 Speaker 1: near future. As I mentioned earlier, what matters most now 148 00:10:51,955 --> 00:10:55,915 Speaker 1: is what's next in the files, in the upcoming public 149 00:10:55,955 --> 00:10:58,715 Speaker 1: battle over the files. In whatever Trump tries next to 150 00:10:58,755 --> 00:11:03,835 Speaker 1: stop the files, he cannot win. Clearly there is something 151 00:11:03,915 --> 00:11:07,755 Speaker 1: worse in there, and he knows that, or he would 152 00:11:07,835 --> 00:11:11,595 Speaker 1: last night have called an immediate press briefing, explained what 153 00:11:11,835 --> 00:11:14,515 Speaker 1: was meant by those emails that had just been released 154 00:11:14,515 --> 00:11:17,915 Speaker 1: by those hoaxing Democrats, and he would have said that 155 00:11:17,955 --> 00:11:21,595 Speaker 1: he was perfectly content with everything else in the Epstein 156 00:11:21,675 --> 00:11:24,875 Speaker 1: files being put out right now, and hell, why not 157 00:11:25,035 --> 00:11:29,355 Speaker 1: make it unanimous in the House by acclamation? And he 158 00:11:29,435 --> 00:11:33,915 Speaker 1: didn't do that. So if the contents are released, he screwed. 159 00:11:35,035 --> 00:11:38,355 Speaker 1: But if they're not released, he's also screwed because he 160 00:11:38,395 --> 00:11:41,595 Speaker 1: will have to maintain a constant effort to make sure 161 00:11:42,155 --> 00:11:45,675 Speaker 1: they are not released, a new cover up, if you will. 162 00:11:46,155 --> 00:11:50,315 Speaker 1: Every effing week, the story not only becomes his one 163 00:11:50,315 --> 00:11:54,075 Speaker 1: point eighty from campaigning promising to release these files to 164 00:11:54,275 --> 00:11:58,035 Speaker 1: serving in office dedicating himself to do everything he can 165 00:11:58,115 --> 00:12:06,155 Speaker 1: to not release them, it becomes that every day. The 166 00:12:06,195 --> 00:12:10,715 Speaker 1: one quality to Watergate that no scandal that Trump has faced, 167 00:12:11,315 --> 00:12:15,315 Speaker 1: the one quality Watergate had that nothing Trump has faced 168 00:12:15,475 --> 00:12:22,995 Speaker 1: has yet developed, was that every day element, this could 169 00:12:22,995 --> 00:12:27,075 Speaker 1: be it, we could have started, This could be day 170 00:12:27,115 --> 00:12:33,115 Speaker 1: two of every day with the epstein Gate files. Now, 171 00:12:33,155 --> 00:12:35,395 Speaker 1: if you are wondering how it is possible that even 172 00:12:35,435 --> 00:12:39,195 Speaker 1: a deranged, morals free, sundowning person like Trump could have 173 00:12:39,235 --> 00:12:43,555 Speaker 1: so loudly promised to release everything in some files if 174 00:12:43,595 --> 00:12:47,235 Speaker 1: he knew they included him and would incriminate him and 175 00:12:47,355 --> 00:12:50,675 Speaker 1: perhaps be fatal to his presidency, there are two outside 176 00:12:50,715 --> 00:12:55,715 Speaker 1: factors to consider. First and biggest he had to get 177 00:12:55,755 --> 00:13:01,155 Speaker 1: himself elected last fall. He had to. His other option 178 00:13:01,315 --> 00:13:03,715 Speaker 1: was to go to prison for life. If he had 179 00:13:03,755 --> 00:13:07,155 Speaker 1: determined that he could have guaranteed him self election by 180 00:13:07,235 --> 00:13:12,195 Speaker 1: campaigning on a promise to, once in office, prosecute himself, 181 00:13:13,035 --> 00:13:17,395 Speaker 1: he would have made that promise. And something that's less 182 00:13:17,515 --> 00:13:23,075 Speaker 1: political science fiction, it is possible. Trump originally, when he 183 00:13:23,115 --> 00:13:27,795 Speaker 1: made that promise last year, did not know, and his 184 00:13:27,875 --> 00:13:30,835 Speaker 1: lack of imagination and surfeit of ego did not let 185 00:13:30,915 --> 00:13:34,155 Speaker 1: him consider the possibility that even just what came out 186 00:13:34,235 --> 00:13:38,995 Speaker 1: yesterday was in there. I don't know how many lawsuits 187 00:13:38,995 --> 00:13:43,235 Speaker 1: and depositions he's been involved with. Hundreds, certainly, maybe it's 188 00:13:43,275 --> 00:13:47,115 Speaker 1: more than a thousand, who knows. I imagine at that 189 00:13:47,675 --> 00:13:53,275 Speaker 1: rate they blur after a while. I did one deposition 190 00:13:53,555 --> 00:13:56,835 Speaker 1: in one lawsuit in my life. It was two days 191 00:13:57,195 --> 00:14:02,595 Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen, and I remember nearly every detail, often 192 00:14:02,795 --> 00:14:08,115 Speaker 1: in nightmares, and it went really well for me. I 193 00:14:08,195 --> 00:14:10,515 Speaker 1: thought I knew what the other side would have found 194 00:14:10,675 --> 00:14:14,075 Speaker 1: in its search of my emails, and for the most part, 195 00:14:14,115 --> 00:14:16,955 Speaker 1: I was right about that. On the other hand, here 196 00:14:17,035 --> 00:14:18,995 Speaker 1: is an anecdote that might give you an idea of 197 00:14:18,995 --> 00:14:21,875 Speaker 1: how easy it is to be wrong about that. Their 198 00:14:21,955 --> 00:14:26,115 Speaker 1: lawyer asked me about one subject heading and some of 199 00:14:26,115 --> 00:14:28,755 Speaker 1: my emails to my manager, my agent, and my attorney. 200 00:14:29,395 --> 00:14:31,475 Speaker 1: He asked me to estimate how many times I use 201 00:14:31,555 --> 00:14:35,675 Speaker 1: this one phrase as the subject line in an email 202 00:14:35,715 --> 00:14:38,315 Speaker 1: to those three people. I told him I had no 203 00:14:38,515 --> 00:14:41,755 Speaker 1: good idea. He said he was not expecting a precise answer. 204 00:14:42,195 --> 00:14:44,595 Speaker 1: He would not be holding me to it. He was 205 00:14:44,755 --> 00:14:47,395 Speaker 1: just looking to establish a threshold. Was it this many? 206 00:14:47,475 --> 00:14:50,035 Speaker 1: Was it more than that many? He finally got me 207 00:14:50,115 --> 00:14:53,835 Speaker 1: to agree to his estimate when he said between seventy 208 00:14:53,835 --> 00:14:57,035 Speaker 1: five and one hundred. I said, I thought that sounded right, 209 00:14:58,275 --> 00:15:02,995 Speaker 1: And then I thought I heard my manager laugh involuntarily 210 00:15:03,075 --> 00:15:07,235 Speaker 1: and very faintly. When we broke for lunch, maybe an 211 00:15:07,275 --> 00:15:09,275 Speaker 1: hour later. As soon as we got far enough into 212 00:15:09,275 --> 00:15:11,555 Speaker 1: the hallway for nobody else to hear, my manager and 213 00:15:11,595 --> 00:15:16,395 Speaker 1: my attorney burst into laughter. Oh my god, the subject 214 00:15:16,435 --> 00:15:20,955 Speaker 1: line number, my manager said. My lawyer laughed again. Seventy 215 00:15:20,995 --> 00:15:24,675 Speaker 1: five and one hundred. The correct answer is you used 216 00:15:24,675 --> 00:15:31,395 Speaker 1: it one thousand, two hundred and forty three times. So no, 217 00:15:31,955 --> 00:15:38,395 Speaker 1: he might not have known. He knows now, And what 218 00:15:38,475 --> 00:15:41,435 Speaker 1: he does know is that of all the pitfalls facing 219 00:15:41,515 --> 00:15:44,395 Speaker 1: him right now. The foremost of them is Glaine Maxwell. 220 00:15:45,355 --> 00:15:50,435 Speaker 1: This is a convicted child sex offender, and that is 221 00:15:50,475 --> 00:15:53,795 Speaker 1: the nicest way to put it. Yet, after she gave 222 00:15:53,835 --> 00:15:56,755 Speaker 1: Todd Blanche the answers that he wanted, she was not 223 00:15:56,835 --> 00:15:59,955 Speaker 1: only rescued from that prison in Florida, she was basically 224 00:15:59,955 --> 00:16:05,715 Speaker 1: transferred to a motel. Congressman Jane Ee Raskin is quoting 225 00:16:05,715 --> 00:16:10,115 Speaker 1: a whistleblower who says customized meals are delivered to her cell. 226 00:16:10,795 --> 00:16:13,595 Speaker 1: She has her own private exercise area she can use 227 00:16:13,635 --> 00:16:17,435 Speaker 1: after hours. She has allowed trips out. She has private 228 00:16:17,475 --> 00:16:21,275 Speaker 1: meetings with visitors, and snacks are provided by the prison 229 00:16:21,355 --> 00:16:24,715 Speaker 1: and the guests can bring in their computers, meaning Maxwell 230 00:16:24,755 --> 00:16:32,235 Speaker 1: has unmonitored communications with the outside world, including interviews with reporters. Oh, 231 00:16:32,275 --> 00:16:36,675 Speaker 1: and she has a service puppy and a service warden. 232 00:16:37,635 --> 00:16:40,035 Speaker 1: She is writing an appeal to Trump for a sentence 233 00:16:40,075 --> 00:16:46,115 Speaker 1: commutation and the warden is helping her, and if Trump 234 00:16:46,155 --> 00:16:49,675 Speaker 1: does commute the sentence or worse, pardons her, he will 235 00:16:49,715 --> 00:16:54,555 Speaker 1: inherit the wind Epstein's email about wanting the recipient to 236 00:16:54,675 --> 00:16:59,155 Speaker 1: realize that the dog that hasn't barked is Trump to 237 00:16:59,315 --> 00:17:02,395 Speaker 1: realize how Trump spent hours with a victim in Epstein's 238 00:17:02,395 --> 00:17:06,315 Speaker 1: home to realize that Epstein is surprised he has never 239 00:17:06,355 --> 00:17:09,675 Speaker 1: been mentioned. That was sent to Galaine Maxwell, and her 240 00:17:09,675 --> 00:17:15,395 Speaker 1: response was I have been thinking about that. There are 241 00:17:15,435 --> 00:17:20,315 Speaker 1: two key answers to two key final questions, what's in 242 00:17:20,355 --> 00:17:25,915 Speaker 1: the files that's worse? And what does Maxwell know about Trump? 243 00:17:26,755 --> 00:17:31,595 Speaker 1: And the answers to both of those questions are probably 244 00:17:32,675 --> 00:17:43,835 Speaker 1: exactly the same. Briefly, there's also, as ever context, MAGA 245 00:17:43,875 --> 00:17:48,435 Speaker 1: has been disenchanted yet again by of all things, a 246 00:17:48,555 --> 00:17:53,075 Speaker 1: Laura Ingram interview with Trump, one SoundBite in particular, in 247 00:17:53,115 --> 00:17:57,355 Speaker 1: which Ingram insists that H one B visas, which fast 248 00:17:57,355 --> 00:18:00,835 Speaker 1: track immigrants with special work skills, can't be a priority 249 00:18:00,835 --> 00:18:03,875 Speaker 1: for Trump's administration, and he says, you also do have 250 00:18:03,915 --> 00:18:07,435 Speaker 1: to bring in town, and in her best xenophobic tone, 251 00:18:07,435 --> 00:18:10,875 Speaker 1: she reminds him we have plenty of talent, and he 252 00:18:10,995 --> 00:18:15,075 Speaker 1: dismissively says, no, you don't know, you don't, and she 253 00:18:15,195 --> 00:18:20,475 Speaker 1: replies with astonishment, we don't have talented people here. This 254 00:18:20,595 --> 00:18:24,595 Speaker 1: is not exactly Trump calling Americans untalented, but it's close enough. 255 00:18:25,995 --> 00:18:29,435 Speaker 1: His supporters are not that bright. Any nuance, any space, 256 00:18:29,475 --> 00:18:33,315 Speaker 1: any wiggle room between those two statements doesn't exist for them. 257 00:18:33,995 --> 00:18:35,955 Speaker 1: On top of the fact that they are getting killed 258 00:18:35,995 --> 00:18:40,555 Speaker 1: at the grocery store and everywhere else. And after they 259 00:18:40,795 --> 00:18:44,355 Speaker 1: show their government, I'm allowed to buy popcorn id now 260 00:18:44,435 --> 00:18:48,075 Speaker 1: they have to find out that it's not America. First, 261 00:18:48,115 --> 00:18:53,275 Speaker 1: after all, Christy nom followed that Trump comment to Ingram 262 00:18:53,435 --> 00:18:56,315 Speaker 1: yesterday with a boast that there are more immigrants than 263 00:18:56,355 --> 00:19:02,155 Speaker 1: ever becoming citizens. And clearly, unsurprisingly, considering they're all idiots, 264 00:19:02,795 --> 00:19:07,155 Speaker 1: the magas in office have lost the plot. They have 265 00:19:07,235 --> 00:19:17,875 Speaker 1: forgotten that they were elected to demonize and expel foreigners period. Secondly, 266 00:19:17,915 --> 00:19:20,795 Speaker 1: the full blame has yet to land exclusively or permanently 267 00:19:20,835 --> 00:19:23,955 Speaker 1: on Trump associated press and Nork with a new pole. 268 00:19:24,675 --> 00:19:29,435 Speaker 1: His approval is thirty six percent, a record low but 269 00:19:29,635 --> 00:19:34,235 Speaker 1: not terminal. However, in March, forty three percent of the 270 00:19:34,235 --> 00:19:37,835 Speaker 1: country approved not of him, but of how Trump was 271 00:19:37,995 --> 00:19:41,835 Speaker 1: managing the government. That was the phrase used, managing the government. 272 00:19:43,235 --> 00:19:46,155 Speaker 1: Forty three percent approval is not a lot, but in 273 00:19:46,195 --> 00:19:48,595 Speaker 1: retrospect it looks like a landslide, because in the new 274 00:19:48,635 --> 00:19:51,675 Speaker 1: poll from this month it's down to thirty three percent 275 00:19:52,235 --> 00:19:55,635 Speaker 1: and just thirty eight percent among independents. In other words, 276 00:19:57,195 --> 00:20:01,635 Speaker 1: two thirds of the country do not think he is handling, managing, 277 00:20:01,875 --> 00:20:07,795 Speaker 1: controlling his own government. Well, Trump is not on his 278 00:20:07,955 --> 00:20:11,675 Speaker 1: last legs, but the real life version of the Emperor's 279 00:20:11,675 --> 00:20:15,475 Speaker 1: New Clothes seems to be reaching its final chapter, if 280 00:20:15,555 --> 00:20:20,115 Speaker 1: not its final pages. And now we have these Epstein 281 00:20:20,235 --> 00:20:25,235 Speaker 1: emails and whatever we don't have yet, And so I 282 00:20:25,315 --> 00:20:30,435 Speaker 1: ask again how much time does he have left before 283 00:20:30,435 --> 00:20:55,315 Speaker 1: Epstein destroys him? A couple of updates on Trump's accelerating 284 00:20:55,355 --> 00:21:00,395 Speaker 1: dementia or dementia like illnesses or illness if you missed it. 285 00:21:00,435 --> 00:21:03,155 Speaker 1: He now wants to move troops into a place in 286 00:21:03,195 --> 00:21:08,595 Speaker 1: America that does not exist. Quote. The Miracle Mile shopping 287 00:21:08,635 --> 00:21:12,075 Speaker 1: center in Chicago, once considered our nation's best, is ready 288 00:21:12,115 --> 00:21:14,875 Speaker 1: to call it quits unless something is done about murder 289 00:21:14,915 --> 00:21:17,835 Speaker 1: and crime. Call in the troops fast before it is 290 00:21:17,875 --> 00:21:24,035 Speaker 1: too late. Just the news. Unquote. There is no Miracle 291 00:21:24,275 --> 00:21:30,635 Speaker 1: Mile shopping center in Chicago. It's possible Trump just dreamt 292 00:21:30,675 --> 00:21:37,035 Speaker 1: it or hallucinated it, or who knows. There is the 293 00:21:37,195 --> 00:21:43,715 Speaker 1: so called Magnificent Mile shopping district in Chicago around the 294 00:21:43,715 --> 00:21:46,035 Speaker 1: Hancock Center and the Wrigley Building In the pre eighteen 295 00:21:46,115 --> 00:21:49,795 Speaker 1: seventy one fire water Tower. But it's not a shopping center, 296 00:21:50,075 --> 00:21:54,155 Speaker 1: and it's never been called a shopping center except by Trump. 297 00:21:55,155 --> 00:21:58,595 Speaker 1: Apart from his conflation of the words magnificent and miracle. 298 00:21:59,315 --> 00:22:02,115 Speaker 1: Ask him to repeat those words in the next cognitive 299 00:22:02,155 --> 00:22:05,635 Speaker 1: tests scheduled already for next April. There it is a 300 00:22:05,715 --> 00:22:10,155 Speaker 1: Miracle Miles shopping center in Monroeville, PA. And there's a 301 00:22:10,235 --> 00:22:13,115 Speaker 1: Miracle Mile shopping center in Vegas, and there's one in LA. 302 00:22:13,515 --> 00:22:16,595 Speaker 1: And if Trump wants to send troops to Chicago to 303 00:22:16,755 --> 00:22:22,555 Speaker 1: protect Monroeville, PA, he's farther gone than we thought, like 304 00:22:23,555 --> 00:22:26,275 Speaker 1: far enough to have once again said, the Presidential Medal 305 00:22:26,315 --> 00:22:29,395 Speaker 1: of Freedom is much better than the Congressional Medal of Honor, 306 00:22:29,555 --> 00:22:32,035 Speaker 1: because if you get the Congressional Medal of Honor, you 307 00:22:32,075 --> 00:22:35,595 Speaker 1: could be dead or wounded. Only he said it last 308 00:22:35,635 --> 00:22:39,155 Speaker 1: Saturday to a local newscaster in Pennsylvania, and it went 309 00:22:39,275 --> 00:22:45,635 Speaker 1: viral on Veteran's Day. On the other hand, in a 310 00:22:45,795 --> 00:22:48,915 Speaker 1: rare development, and you may want a clip and save 311 00:22:49,075 --> 00:22:55,715 Speaker 1: me saying this, Trump was actually right about something. The 312 00:22:55,755 --> 00:22:58,155 Speaker 1: head of BBC News and the head of the entire 313 00:22:58,235 --> 00:23:03,115 Speaker 1: BBC suddenly resigned after an edit made in a news 314 00:23:03,155 --> 00:23:06,955 Speaker 1: special that aired more than a year ago, was made 315 00:23:06,995 --> 00:23:10,315 Speaker 1: into a big deal publicly in England in the edit 316 00:23:10,355 --> 00:23:14,075 Speaker 1: two separate clips from Trump's infamous January sixth warm up 317 00:23:14,155 --> 00:23:17,795 Speaker 1: speech that preceded his goon's attempt to overthrow the government 318 00:23:17,915 --> 00:23:22,915 Speaker 1: and kill congressman, senators, and vice presidents. Trump, of course, 319 00:23:23,035 --> 00:23:26,875 Speaker 1: has lived his life in that space between trying to 320 00:23:26,915 --> 00:23:29,955 Speaker 1: inspire others to commit crimes and violence on his behalf 321 00:23:30,195 --> 00:23:33,915 Speaker 1: and actually getting blamed when the crimes and violence occur. 322 00:23:34,675 --> 00:23:38,475 Speaker 1: If he has any intelligence at all, it lies in 323 00:23:38,515 --> 00:23:43,675 Speaker 1: that skill. I didn't do it. I just said it. Well. 324 00:23:43,715 --> 00:23:47,075 Speaker 1: The BBC's edit eliminated that space. And whereas that might 325 00:23:47,115 --> 00:23:49,515 Speaker 1: be a good thing from a moral point of view, 326 00:23:50,155 --> 00:23:52,395 Speaker 1: from a journalistic one, you just can't do what the 327 00:23:52,395 --> 00:23:56,515 Speaker 1: BBC did. You cannot take two statements made about fifty 328 00:23:56,595 --> 00:23:59,755 Speaker 1: minutes apart in real life and edit them together so 329 00:23:59,915 --> 00:24:03,795 Speaker 1: adroitly that it literally changes the meaning that it sounds 330 00:24:03,835 --> 00:24:06,195 Speaker 1: like he's saying he and the mob we'll now go 331 00:24:06,275 --> 00:24:09,395 Speaker 1: to the Capitol and physically fight like hell like there 332 00:24:09,435 --> 00:24:13,675 Speaker 1: was no nuance to it. You can't do that. If 333 00:24:13,675 --> 00:24:17,315 Speaker 1: I had done that with two sound bites at my 334 00:24:17,435 --> 00:24:21,515 Speaker 1: college radio station, they would have suspended me in nineteen 335 00:24:21,515 --> 00:24:25,195 Speaker 1: seventy five. You can run those two sound bites consecutively, 336 00:24:25,315 --> 00:24:29,795 Speaker 1: provided you put in something between them. It can be 337 00:24:29,875 --> 00:24:34,915 Speaker 1: an explanatory sentence, it can be an explanatory hour. It 338 00:24:34,955 --> 00:24:39,195 Speaker 1: can be just one word like later. But you have 339 00:24:39,275 --> 00:24:41,835 Speaker 1: to make the distinction even when you are quoting the devil. 340 00:24:42,155 --> 00:24:45,315 Speaker 1: It was a day one journalism one oh one mistake 341 00:24:46,315 --> 00:24:56,115 Speaker 1: or a day one journalism one oh one malfunction, dysfunction, 342 00:24:58,115 --> 00:25:02,795 Speaker 1: attempt to sneak something past the editors. That being said, 343 00:25:02,835 --> 00:25:05,355 Speaker 1: Trump's response to this was to demand a retraction of 344 00:25:05,395 --> 00:25:10,795 Speaker 1: the documentary. Again, he's right. They should do that. They 345 00:25:10,835 --> 00:25:14,355 Speaker 1: should officially retract and kill that documentary. They've already taken 346 00:25:14,355 --> 00:25:18,155 Speaker 1: it off their website. And he wants an apology. That's 347 00:25:18,195 --> 00:25:21,275 Speaker 1: the BBC's call. What I would do is the BBC 348 00:25:21,315 --> 00:25:26,115 Speaker 1: should apologize to all viewers in the world, including Trump. 349 00:25:26,155 --> 00:25:28,755 Speaker 1: If they want to say that, that to me would suffice. 350 00:25:29,075 --> 00:25:32,515 Speaker 1: We apologize to everyone who has ever lived for our 351 00:25:32,755 --> 00:25:36,595 Speaker 1: editing mistake. And of course he wants money. He wants 352 00:25:36,595 --> 00:25:39,155 Speaker 1: a bribe like he got from ABC and CBS, or 353 00:25:39,195 --> 00:25:42,395 Speaker 1: he'll sue them for a billion dollars because they damaged 354 00:25:42,475 --> 00:25:47,155 Speaker 1: his reputation. This is where the part about an update 355 00:25:47,195 --> 00:25:51,475 Speaker 1: on Trump's madness comes in. What reputation is that? Exactly, Sonny. 356 00:25:52,435 --> 00:25:55,675 Speaker 1: They made it look like you inspired the January sixth insurrection. 357 00:25:57,715 --> 00:26:02,555 Speaker 1: You did, You've boasted about it. They tried to kill 358 00:26:02,555 --> 00:26:05,675 Speaker 1: your vice president while carrying giant flag bearing your name. 359 00:26:06,595 --> 00:26:10,595 Speaker 1: Plus you're Trump. How could they damage you? How could 360 00:26:10,635 --> 00:26:13,635 Speaker 1: anybody damage you? It's like the devil suing over a 361 00:26:13,675 --> 00:26:17,955 Speaker 1: report that it's hot in hell. Plus there'd have to 362 00:26:17,955 --> 00:26:21,395 Speaker 1: be malice proven, and some indication that the program was 363 00:26:21,395 --> 00:26:25,755 Speaker 1: shown in America, which it wasn't. But I will tell 364 00:26:25,795 --> 00:26:28,115 Speaker 1: you this, it's very hard to root for the BBC 365 00:26:28,155 --> 00:26:30,955 Speaker 1: in this because it is such an odd organization. I 366 00:26:30,995 --> 00:26:33,315 Speaker 1: had my own run in with the BBC about six 367 00:26:33,395 --> 00:26:37,835 Speaker 1: years ago over a podcast. The idea that the BBC 368 00:26:38,075 --> 00:26:42,315 Speaker 1: is not perfect is deeply hurtful to the people who 369 00:26:42,395 --> 00:26:46,835 Speaker 1: run the BBC, who just are not that realistic about 370 00:26:47,835 --> 00:26:52,155 Speaker 1: the BBC. Now, for the most part, the BBC's newspeople 371 00:26:52,155 --> 00:26:55,995 Speaker 1: are brilliant, impeccable. If they are not the best in 372 00:26:56,035 --> 00:26:57,915 Speaker 1: the world, they are among the best in the world. 373 00:26:57,915 --> 00:27:00,875 Speaker 1: But this is a company that once ran an advertisement 374 00:27:01,115 --> 00:27:04,635 Speaker 1: for the neutrality of its political coverage by having anchor Cat, 375 00:27:05,275 --> 00:27:06,995 Speaker 1: who is not one of the best in the world, 376 00:27:07,275 --> 00:27:11,115 Speaker 1: walked through the streets of Washington, passed giant graphic representations 377 00:27:11,115 --> 00:27:15,595 Speaker 1: of words like neutrality and fairness. And she was blathering 378 00:27:15,635 --> 00:27:18,715 Speaker 1: throughout this promo, insisting that the BBC had never taken 379 00:27:18,755 --> 00:27:23,595 Speaker 1: a side in any election or any war. And I 380 00:27:23,635 --> 00:27:26,155 Speaker 1: snorted milk through my nose, and I made a big 381 00:27:26,195 --> 00:27:29,675 Speaker 1: stink about this little thing. In the forties that you 382 00:27:29,755 --> 00:27:34,235 Speaker 1: might remember when when this Hitler guy was sending bombers 383 00:27:34,715 --> 00:27:39,315 Speaker 1: to London just to try to blow up the building 384 00:27:39,355 --> 00:27:43,235 Speaker 1: the BBC was in and bomb its studios and light 385 00:27:43,315 --> 00:27:46,755 Speaker 1: its newscasters on fire. And how at the time BBC 386 00:27:46,915 --> 00:27:51,555 Speaker 1: broadcasts were sending secret coded messages to the French resistance. 387 00:27:51,715 --> 00:27:54,515 Speaker 1: And I said, so, so the BBC did not take 388 00:27:54,635 --> 00:27:58,795 Speaker 1: sides in the Nazi war. To blow up the BBC, 389 00:27:59,795 --> 00:28:04,115 Speaker 1: we're supposed to believe this. I don't think I was 390 00:28:04,115 --> 00:28:07,155 Speaker 1: the only one who complaint, but they did stop running 391 00:28:07,155 --> 00:28:10,795 Speaker 1: the ads once they realized, oh, that's right, we were 392 00:28:10,875 --> 00:28:13,875 Speaker 1: rooting for our own country during the Second World War. 393 00:28:14,595 --> 00:28:19,675 Speaker 1: How unfair of us. The BBC's attitude is very much 394 00:28:19,755 --> 00:28:23,075 Speaker 1: like The New York Times combined the I'm shocked, shocked 395 00:28:23,115 --> 00:28:25,515 Speaker 1: to find that gambling is going on in here line 396 00:28:25,515 --> 00:28:29,715 Speaker 1: from Casablanca, with the arrogance of we are the BBC, 397 00:28:29,875 --> 00:28:33,755 Speaker 1: We do not make mistakes. You must be mistaken about 398 00:28:33,835 --> 00:28:37,675 Speaker 1: our mistake. And then add in a British political controversy 399 00:28:37,715 --> 00:28:41,475 Speaker 1: over funding for the BBC and the BBC's clunky inability 400 00:28:41,475 --> 00:28:46,555 Speaker 1: to handle politics at all. They somehow get and deserve 401 00:28:46,595 --> 00:28:51,155 Speaker 1: criticism for occasionally leaning towards labor, and they get criticism 402 00:28:51,235 --> 00:28:54,795 Speaker 1: for occasionally leaning towards conservatives, And now they get even 403 00:28:54,835 --> 00:28:58,155 Speaker 1: more criticism for even more often leaning towards the Fascist 404 00:28:58,235 --> 00:29:04,435 Speaker 1: Reform Party. And the BBC is reportedly considering bribing Trump 405 00:29:04,515 --> 00:29:07,435 Speaker 1: to drop the suit, even though Trump can't do anything 406 00:29:07,475 --> 00:29:11,635 Speaker 1: to the BBC in America. The BBC news viewers pretty 407 00:29:11,675 --> 00:29:15,595 Speaker 1: much consist of me and a couple of other people 408 00:29:15,595 --> 00:29:18,715 Speaker 1: in America, and a lawsuit in England would almost certainly 409 00:29:18,755 --> 00:29:22,795 Speaker 1: be kicked out of court. My god, BBC, you screwed 410 00:29:22,795 --> 00:29:27,995 Speaker 1: this up. Correct that, and remember Trump is crazy and 411 00:29:28,075 --> 00:29:32,195 Speaker 1: guilty of the underlying principle here. So this is what 412 00:29:32,235 --> 00:29:35,155 Speaker 1: you do. You issue that worldwide apology to everybody who 413 00:29:35,195 --> 00:29:36,995 Speaker 1: has ever lived. And then you tell Trump to go 414 00:29:37,115 --> 00:29:39,755 Speaker 1: f himself, and in fact you debut a show that 415 00:29:40,235 --> 00:29:44,075 Speaker 1: must run on BBC World News every night half an 416 00:29:44,075 --> 00:29:47,995 Speaker 1: hour called Donald Trump, go f yourself. And in that, 417 00:29:48,155 --> 00:29:50,875 Speaker 1: by the way, you can send coded messages to the 418 00:29:50,875 --> 00:29:53,955 Speaker 1: American resistance, just like it did in the Second World 419 00:29:53,995 --> 00:29:58,875 Speaker 1: We are with the French. You used to send messages 420 00:29:58,915 --> 00:30:03,555 Speaker 1: to Charles de Gaulle on BBC Radio. You can send 421 00:30:03,595 --> 00:30:09,995 Speaker 1: me secret messages. Otherwise, BBC you will wind up like ESPN. 422 00:30:11,595 --> 00:30:15,835 Speaker 1: ESPN on Tuesday achieved a new high and low. That 423 00:30:16,035 --> 00:30:19,235 Speaker 1: is where we saw a new Trump symptom come out 424 00:30:19,235 --> 00:30:24,595 Speaker 1: in public, saying the quiet part out loud. Trump was 425 00:30:24,635 --> 00:30:28,835 Speaker 1: the Veterans Day guest of the moronic ESPN daytime host 426 00:30:29,195 --> 00:30:33,875 Speaker 1: Pat McAfee. Why would you have someone on who insulted 427 00:30:33,915 --> 00:30:37,475 Speaker 1: a decorated veteran like John McCain because he was a pow. 428 00:30:37,635 --> 00:30:40,315 Speaker 1: Why would you have them on on Veterans Day, or 429 00:30:40,435 --> 00:30:44,995 Speaker 1: who symbolically spat on the dead at bellow Wood from 430 00:30:45,035 --> 00:30:47,475 Speaker 1: the First World War by calling them suckers and losers. 431 00:30:47,515 --> 00:30:50,595 Speaker 1: Why would you have him on on Veterans Day? Well, one, 432 00:30:51,355 --> 00:30:55,235 Speaker 1: this Pat McAfee is an imbecile. Two Pat McAfee has 433 00:30:55,235 --> 00:30:58,835 Speaker 1: never asked a difficult question of anyone, even just another jock, 434 00:30:58,995 --> 00:31:01,995 Speaker 1: in his life. And three Trump then said the quiet 435 00:31:01,995 --> 00:31:06,795 Speaker 1: part out loud. McAfee said, thanks for joining the show, 436 00:31:07,275 --> 00:31:10,515 Speaker 1: and Trump said, I'm only joining you because I hear 437 00:31:10,555 --> 00:31:13,835 Speaker 1: you say such nice things about me. When people say 438 00:31:13,955 --> 00:31:17,515 Speaker 1: nice about me, I join. When they don't say nice 439 00:31:17,515 --> 00:31:21,275 Speaker 1: about me, I take a pass. So what you had here, 440 00:31:21,315 --> 00:31:23,915 Speaker 1: in addition to Trump saying the quiet part out loud, 441 00:31:24,035 --> 00:31:32,595 Speaker 1: which you had ESPN's resident fluffer platforming America's resident he 442 00:31:33,235 --> 00:31:42,195 Speaker 1: who must always be fluffed, and by the way, not 443 00:31:42,235 --> 00:31:45,035 Speaker 1: only confessing there, but inventing yet another new phrase that 444 00:31:45,075 --> 00:31:47,035 Speaker 1: has never been used by anybody else in the history 445 00:31:47,035 --> 00:31:52,075 Speaker 1: of the world. People say nice about me, nice things 446 00:31:52,475 --> 00:31:59,995 Speaker 1: Donald people say nice about me. People say maybe they're 447 00:32:00,075 --> 00:32:02,675 Speaker 1: just not saying enough nice about him at the Miracle 448 00:32:02,715 --> 00:32:06,195 Speaker 1: Mile Mall in Pennsylvania, which is in Chicago, So send 449 00:32:06,195 --> 00:32:13,435 Speaker 1: in the troops to Las Vegas. Also of interest here, 450 00:32:13,435 --> 00:32:16,715 Speaker 1: so the latest Cash Patel scandal. His girlfriend is suing 451 00:32:17,195 --> 00:32:21,315 Speaker 1: a series of right wing podcasters for claiming that she 452 00:32:22,155 --> 00:32:24,835 Speaker 1: who Patel goes to see using a government plane at 453 00:32:24,915 --> 00:32:29,715 Speaker 1: taxpayer expense, claiming these right wing podcasters did, and she 454 00:32:29,795 --> 00:32:33,955 Speaker 1: is suing over this, the claim that she's actually a spy. 455 00:32:34,995 --> 00:32:38,755 Speaker 1: Keep your eye on the prize cash. That's next. This 456 00:32:38,875 --> 00:33:05,275 Speaker 1: is countdown. This is countdown with Keith Oldwoman. Believe it 457 00:33:05,395 --> 00:33:08,195 Speaker 1: or not, there's still more new idiots to talk about. 458 00:33:08,195 --> 00:33:11,075 Speaker 1: The roundup of the miscrants, moron and then Dunning cruder 459 00:33:11,155 --> 00:33:19,035 Speaker 1: effects specimens who constitute today's other worst persons in the world. 460 00:33:20,435 --> 00:33:25,395 Speaker 1: The bronze shared by some of the Senate Quizzlings. Now 461 00:33:26,035 --> 00:33:28,355 Speaker 1: you may remember from the previous episode that I spent 462 00:33:28,435 --> 00:33:31,715 Speaker 1: rather a lot of time talking about these eight fat heads, 463 00:33:32,475 --> 00:33:36,435 Speaker 1: seven of whom are nominal Democrats and one is an independent, 464 00:33:38,795 --> 00:33:43,355 Speaker 1: and of course there's Fetterman, who's independent of reality. But 465 00:33:43,955 --> 00:33:46,875 Speaker 1: since I did the previous edition of this podcast as 466 00:33:46,915 --> 00:33:53,555 Speaker 1: those eight Quizzlings defected and collaborated with the Nazis of today, 467 00:33:54,035 --> 00:33:56,155 Speaker 1: let me just read you the new quotes that occurred 468 00:33:56,155 --> 00:34:01,755 Speaker 1: after that. Senator Gene Shaheen on Fox and Friends. First off, 469 00:34:01,835 --> 00:34:03,675 Speaker 1: you're on Fox and Friends. You're out of the club. 470 00:34:04,835 --> 00:34:07,235 Speaker 1: I believe there are a number of Republicans who are 471 00:34:07,275 --> 00:34:10,195 Speaker 1: going to join us in trying to address healthcare costs. 472 00:34:10,755 --> 00:34:14,475 Speaker 1: We're gonna be able to continue to fight about healthcare 473 00:34:14,555 --> 00:34:20,275 Speaker 1: because we're gonna have a vote in December. Hun New 474 00:34:20,355 --> 00:34:29,595 Speaker 1: Susan Collins just dropped Dick Durbin. Senator Durbin went up 475 00:34:29,635 --> 00:34:33,195 Speaker 1: to Leader Thun during the vote Sunday night to tell 476 00:34:33,275 --> 00:34:36,155 Speaker 1: him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that 477 00:34:36,315 --> 00:34:38,555 Speaker 1: eight of us are sticking our neck out, that you're 478 00:34:38,555 --> 00:34:42,275 Speaker 1: gonna keep your word. I hope you will, Durban said. 479 00:34:42,355 --> 00:34:50,795 Speaker 1: Thune said, I assure you. I will imagine growing into 480 00:34:50,915 --> 00:34:53,755 Speaker 1: old age like Dick Durbin, and the last thing you 481 00:34:53,795 --> 00:35:00,755 Speaker 1: will be remembered for is believing a Republican promise. You 482 00:35:00,875 --> 00:35:03,235 Speaker 1: have this vote, then you lose it, and you're gonna 483 00:35:03,275 --> 00:35:07,115 Speaker 1: claim a victory. But the best of them. Angus King 484 00:35:07,915 --> 00:35:10,235 Speaker 1: on Mourning Joe, You're on Morning Joe. You're also out 485 00:35:10,235 --> 00:35:16,035 Speaker 1: of the club. Standing up to Donald Trump didn't work, Angus, 486 00:35:16,115 --> 00:35:19,795 Speaker 1: I have one question for you. How the f would 487 00:35:19,835 --> 00:35:24,075 Speaker 1: you know about that? Exactly when in this process did 488 00:35:24,115 --> 00:35:28,715 Speaker 1: you stand up to Donald Trump? You stupid, limp, flaccid 489 00:35:28,835 --> 00:35:33,555 Speaker 1: old man. You know years ago there was a lawsuit 490 00:35:33,595 --> 00:35:36,875 Speaker 1: over this Jack in the Box ran an ad, a 491 00:35:36,955 --> 00:35:40,475 Speaker 1: TV ad that was directed towards the Carls Junior and 492 00:35:40,635 --> 00:35:46,035 Speaker 1: Harta's Angus Berger and a bunch of the executives that 493 00:35:46,235 --> 00:35:48,515 Speaker 1: Jack in the box were shown in this ad laughing 494 00:35:48,555 --> 00:35:51,075 Speaker 1: their heads off and asking what part of the cow 495 00:35:51,195 --> 00:35:54,755 Speaker 1: is the angus? Well, it turns out we have an 496 00:35:54,795 --> 00:35:57,315 Speaker 1: answer to that question. What part of the cow is 497 00:35:57,355 --> 00:36:00,275 Speaker 1: the angus? Well? This senator from Maine who sold out 498 00:36:00,275 --> 00:36:05,675 Speaker 1: the Democrats runner up the Trump administrator, and Bill Poulty, 499 00:36:05,795 --> 00:36:08,235 Speaker 1: the mortgage guy who's trying to get people prosecuted for 500 00:36:08,315 --> 00:36:14,235 Speaker 1: things his own parents did two things. Paulty apparently is 501 00:36:14,275 --> 00:36:16,515 Speaker 1: the one who convinced Trump to support the idea of 502 00:36:16,515 --> 00:36:20,875 Speaker 1: the fifty year mortgage instead of thirties, although Trump thinks 503 00:36:20,915 --> 00:36:25,755 Speaker 1: they're forties, because well, I mean, if you can get 504 00:36:25,755 --> 00:36:29,515 Speaker 1: people to spend their lifetime in debt to a bank, 505 00:36:30,115 --> 00:36:32,875 Speaker 1: there'll be more servile and they'll do what you want, 506 00:36:32,915 --> 00:36:36,275 Speaker 1: and you can control them through things like interest rates. 507 00:36:36,915 --> 00:36:39,515 Speaker 1: I will tell you this, having grown up in the 508 00:36:40,035 --> 00:36:41,955 Speaker 1: period of time in which there was no question that 509 00:36:41,995 --> 00:36:44,395 Speaker 1: you were supposed to grow up and own your own home, 510 00:36:45,035 --> 00:36:47,835 Speaker 1: I have owned five homes around the country. I've owned 511 00:36:48,235 --> 00:36:52,515 Speaker 1: condos and a beautiful house in Connecticut, and if you're 512 00:36:52,515 --> 00:36:55,235 Speaker 1: going to live in the same place and you're going 513 00:36:55,315 --> 00:36:59,115 Speaker 1: to live there for a year longer than your mortgage, 514 00:36:59,595 --> 00:37:01,755 Speaker 1: go ahead and buy it. It makes sense. Then economically 515 00:37:01,795 --> 00:37:05,835 Speaker 1: the rest of the time, you're effing yourself. Rent, don't buy. 516 00:37:06,635 --> 00:37:08,995 Speaker 1: You're only going to be there twenty years. Rent, don't 517 00:37:08,995 --> 00:37:13,435 Speaker 1: buy thirty year mortgage thirty years. You're going to be there. 518 00:37:14,755 --> 00:37:17,315 Speaker 1: Coin toss thirty year mortgage. You're gonna live there for 519 00:37:17,315 --> 00:37:19,955 Speaker 1: thirty years and six months. Okay, you can buy. Otherwise 520 00:37:19,955 --> 00:37:22,915 Speaker 1: you're gonna lose money. Long term, you're gonna lose money. 521 00:37:23,635 --> 00:37:26,435 Speaker 1: You're gonna lose money when you sell. Even if you 522 00:37:26,435 --> 00:37:29,875 Speaker 1: make a huge profit, you're still gonna lose money. Invest 523 00:37:29,915 --> 00:37:34,155 Speaker 1: in something that doesn't get other people profits, a fifty 524 00:37:34,235 --> 00:37:37,595 Speaker 1: year mortgage. That's a great idea, so when you die 525 00:37:37,995 --> 00:37:43,195 Speaker 1: you'll still owe money. Second point, Fanny May is going 526 00:37:43,235 --> 00:37:48,715 Speaker 1: to drop its credit score minimum for mortgages. It's going 527 00:37:48,795 --> 00:37:51,275 Speaker 1: to drop it from lower than six point twenty two. 528 00:37:52,035 --> 00:37:56,115 Speaker 1: Mortgage Giant will instead use its own analysis of risk factors. 529 00:37:56,235 --> 00:37:59,635 Speaker 1: Offici'll say they're easing barriers to borrowing. It's just the 530 00:37:59,715 --> 00:38:02,315 Speaker 1: latest in a series of policy changes aimed at creating 531 00:38:02,355 --> 00:38:06,875 Speaker 1: home ownership opportunities in the United States. Bullshit. It's a 532 00:38:07,035 --> 00:38:10,835 Speaker 1: chance for them to make more mortgages and make money 533 00:38:11,035 --> 00:38:15,515 Speaker 1: off the mortgage process. And then if you don't pay, 534 00:38:15,875 --> 00:38:18,435 Speaker 1: and if millions of you don't pay or can't pay 535 00:38:18,515 --> 00:38:20,715 Speaker 1: later on, we'll just go through what we went through 536 00:38:20,715 --> 00:38:23,195 Speaker 1: in two thousand and eight, and all of these companies 537 00:38:23,235 --> 00:38:26,075 Speaker 1: will come running to the forefront and say, the economy 538 00:38:26,115 --> 00:38:28,235 Speaker 1: will crater if you don't give us the money that 539 00:38:28,315 --> 00:38:31,035 Speaker 1: we wasted on all these mortgages that were there never 540 00:38:31,195 --> 00:38:33,235 Speaker 1: was a chance of anybody being able to afford them 541 00:38:33,275 --> 00:38:35,435 Speaker 1: because we gave them to people who didn't have not 542 00:38:35,515 --> 00:38:39,435 Speaker 1: only their own homes, but their own shoes. They're setting 543 00:38:39,515 --> 00:38:43,395 Speaker 1: up another two thousand and eight financial collapse. Mark it down. 544 00:38:43,995 --> 00:38:46,755 Speaker 1: How many years would this be about in the future, 545 00:38:46,795 --> 00:38:50,675 Speaker 1: like the twenty thirty two financial collapse thanks to Fannie 546 00:38:50,675 --> 00:38:53,515 Speaker 1: May and Bill Poulty and Trump and a fifty year mortgage? 547 00:38:53,515 --> 00:38:57,755 Speaker 1: Why out a three thousand year mortgage? Yes, I'm paying 548 00:38:57,795 --> 00:39:00,715 Speaker 1: off this mortgage. My great great great great great great 549 00:39:00,715 --> 00:39:02,795 Speaker 1: great great great great great great great great great great 550 00:39:02,795 --> 00:39:07,475 Speaker 1: great great great great grandfather the signed up for and 551 00:39:07,515 --> 00:39:11,435 Speaker 1: still is somebody worse than this our winner, Cash Yat 552 00:39:11,595 --> 00:39:16,235 Speaker 1: Pramade Patel, good old Cash of the FBI, we believe 553 00:39:16,235 --> 00:39:17,915 Speaker 1: it or not, is still the director of the FBI, 554 00:39:17,995 --> 00:39:19,875 Speaker 1: even though he never seems to go to work, or 555 00:39:19,915 --> 00:39:21,755 Speaker 1: in fact, never seems to do anything but get on 556 00:39:21,835 --> 00:39:24,995 Speaker 1: government planes and fly to Nashville to see the girlfriend 557 00:39:24,995 --> 00:39:28,235 Speaker 1: who is supposedly a country singer, unless you are a 558 00:39:28,315 --> 00:39:32,315 Speaker 1: right wing podcaster, in which case she's and he and 559 00:39:32,355 --> 00:39:35,235 Speaker 1: there's and that. I can't figure this out. Let me 560 00:39:35,315 --> 00:39:38,835 Speaker 1: just read this from the Times of India, because I'll 561 00:39:38,835 --> 00:39:41,875 Speaker 1: be fed if I can figure this route out without 562 00:39:41,915 --> 00:39:46,515 Speaker 1: an alpenstock and a couple of Saint Bernard's. Right wing 563 00:39:46,635 --> 00:39:51,355 Speaker 1: podcaster Candace Owens has now called for FBI director Cash 564 00:39:51,355 --> 00:39:57,595 Speaker 1: Patel's resignation after his girlfriend Alexis Wilkins sued Elijah Schaeffer 565 00:39:58,035 --> 00:40:02,235 Speaker 1: for five million dollars. Schaefer, a MAGA podcaster, we posted 566 00:40:02,275 --> 00:40:05,275 Speaker 1: a thread on the viral conspiracy theory that Wilkins is 567 00:40:05,315 --> 00:40:10,635 Speaker 1: a massad agent and she honey trapped Cash Patel. Shaefer 568 00:40:10,715 --> 00:40:13,195 Speaker 1: did not add anything on his part to the viral thread, 569 00:40:13,195 --> 00:40:16,915 Speaker 1: but posted a photo of Patel with his girlfriend. Shaeffer 570 00:40:16,955 --> 00:40:20,595 Speaker 1: became the third MAGA operative to have been sued by 571 00:40:20,675 --> 00:40:24,595 Speaker 1: Cash Patel's girlfriend, the other two being Kyle Sarafin, a 572 00:40:24,635 --> 00:40:31,235 Speaker 1: former FBI agent, and Sam Packer, an influencer. Wilkins repeatedly 573 00:40:31,275 --> 00:40:33,715 Speaker 1: dismissed these conspiracy theories about her and asserted that she 574 00:40:33,755 --> 00:40:36,635 Speaker 1: has no connection with Israel, never been there, and she's 575 00:40:36,675 --> 00:40:40,315 Speaker 1: been dating Cash Patel before Patel became the FBI director. 576 00:40:40,955 --> 00:40:44,275 Speaker 1: As the conspiracy theory is being churned by MAGA insiders, 577 00:40:44,515 --> 00:40:46,915 Speaker 1: Three Times of India continues, it is clear that Patel 578 00:40:46,955 --> 00:40:50,555 Speaker 1: has been isolated inside MAGA, and now Candace Owens has 579 00:40:50,595 --> 00:40:54,755 Speaker 1: openly called for Patel's resignation. Quote, Cash Pateel has to 580 00:40:54,755 --> 00:40:59,075 Speaker 1: step down. This is excruciatingly embarrassing. He's a teenager in 581 00:40:59,155 --> 00:41:05,635 Speaker 1: love representing the federal government. When Candace Owen thinks you 582 00:41:06,355 --> 00:41:12,715 Speaker 1: are embarrassing, I'm thinking you're embarrassing. The idea is Patel 583 00:41:12,915 --> 00:41:16,915 Speaker 1: is being attacked by Candace Owens and other MAGA nut 584 00:41:16,995 --> 00:41:20,915 Speaker 1: jobs because the MAGA nut jobs say the girlfriend is 585 00:41:20,995 --> 00:41:25,435 Speaker 1: a spy. Now, she doesn't have a biography anywhere online 586 00:41:25,435 --> 00:41:27,475 Speaker 1: that I could find, but this is from Fox News. 587 00:41:27,555 --> 00:41:30,315 Speaker 1: Quote her father worked for Gillette and her mother was 588 00:41:30,355 --> 00:41:33,875 Speaker 1: in aerospace and pharmaceuticals. They lived in England and Switzerland 589 00:41:33,955 --> 00:41:37,955 Speaker 1: before settling in fayette Vale, Arkansas. When Alexis was nine, 590 00:41:38,115 --> 00:41:44,275 Speaker 1: she attended College du Lemon Lemont International School in Switzerland. 591 00:41:45,275 --> 00:41:48,595 Speaker 1: All Right, England, Switzerland, Arkansas. In the same interview, Wilkins 592 00:41:48,595 --> 00:41:50,475 Speaker 1: said that her father had served in the US Navy 593 00:41:50,555 --> 00:41:53,915 Speaker 1: during the Korean War. He was the son of Armenian 594 00:41:53,915 --> 00:41:58,555 Speaker 1: immigrants who fled genocide. My passion for veterans started through 595 00:41:58,595 --> 00:42:05,915 Speaker 1: conversations with him England, Switzerland, Arkansas, Switzerland for college Korea 596 00:42:06,035 --> 00:42:11,795 Speaker 1: mentor and candidate Armenia. Sounds legit to me. Just you 597 00:42:11,875 --> 00:42:14,195 Speaker 1: add one twist to this. The latest podcaster to get 598 00:42:14,235 --> 00:42:17,715 Speaker 1: sued Schaeffer. Schaeffer. He has now asked for help defending 599 00:42:17,795 --> 00:42:22,675 Speaker 1: himself from the suit from Elon Musk. Everybody's in this 600 00:42:22,795 --> 00:42:26,915 Speaker 1: party cash. Everything seems on the level to me. He's 601 00:42:26,955 --> 00:42:29,515 Speaker 1: not going to suddenly disappear then turn up in Botswana 602 00:42:29,555 --> 00:42:32,795 Speaker 1: having obtained political asylum. No, never, never, No, he's not. 603 00:42:32,835 --> 00:42:37,355 Speaker 1: He's never gonna do that. No, Patel, Today's other worst 604 00:42:37,755 --> 00:43:33,435 Speaker 1: person in the world. Candae Owens thinks you're embarrasable. I 605 00:43:33,515 --> 00:43:50,115 Speaker 1: play the organ on that myself. I've done all the 606 00:43:50,155 --> 00:43:52,275 Speaker 1: damage I can do here. Thank you for listening.
