WEBVTT - HOW MUCH TIME DOES TRUMP HAVE LEFT AFTER EPSTEIN ACCUSATION? - 11.13.25 0:00:04.795 --> 0:00:25.515 Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. How 0:00:25.595 --> 0:00:32.635 much time does Trump have left? Because from beyond the grave, 0:00:33.315 --> 0:00:37.035 Jeffrey Epstein has accused Trump and there is a smoking gun, 0:00:38.075 --> 0:00:42.355 maybe four of them. And now Trump and his Republicans, 0:00:42.795 --> 0:00:45.595 especially Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, and his magaan 0:00:45.755 --> 0:00:49.755 nablers and his Fox News whores, are complicit in an 0:00:49.755 --> 0:00:55.995 extraordinary disgusting cover up again, a cover up of pedophilia, 0:00:56.275 --> 0:00:59.755 a cover up of corruption at Pam Bondi's doj, a 0:00:59.835 --> 0:01:03.155 cover up of Epstein's crimes, a new cover up right 0:01:03.195 --> 0:01:06.595 now playing out in real time as Trump tries to 0:01:06.795 --> 0:01:11.995 blackmail Republicans into burying the Epstein files, and most of all, 0:01:12.155 --> 0:01:18.755 a cover up of Trump's guilt of the allegations that 0:01:18.795 --> 0:01:23.075 one of Epstein's female victims quote spent hours at Epstein's 0:01:23.115 --> 0:01:27.275 house with Trump, unquote, that Trump was quote that dog 0:01:27.355 --> 0:01:31.315 that hasn't barked and quote has never once been mentioned. 0:01:31.955 --> 0:01:36.075 Those specific allegations made by Jeffrey Epstein in twenty eleven 0:01:36.755 --> 0:01:43.195 and acknowledged by Galaine Maxwell minutes later by email. Trump 0:01:43.395 --> 0:01:48.475 is guilty. In an unusual twist, we will find out 0:01:48.555 --> 0:01:53.595 what he is guilty of later, but Epstein has provided 0:01:53.635 --> 0:01:58.235 the evidence that almost everything Trump has said about Epstein 0:01:58.395 --> 0:02:06.235 and him is not true. And now, if Trump follows 0:02:06.275 --> 0:02:08.715 the path he has been on for several months and 0:02:08.875 --> 0:02:13.715 pardons Maxwell or commutes her sentence, it could very easily 0:02:13.755 --> 0:02:18.515 cost him his presidency because a pardon or commutation for 0:02:18.675 --> 0:02:24.515 her would be his confession. And now, as Trump panics 0:02:24.635 --> 0:02:29.275 and twice insists it's all a hoax while his enablers 0:02:29.475 --> 0:02:32.755 urgently meet in the White House, we must ask what 0:02:33.035 --> 0:02:37.515 is next? What is in the Epstein files that the 0:02:37.555 --> 0:02:40.835 Republicans in the House who have been blocking their release, 0:02:40.915 --> 0:02:43.075 and those in the Senate who will try to what 0:02:43.475 --> 0:02:46.715 is it that they are so terrified by if it 0:02:46.955 --> 0:02:50.755 wasn't what was released yesterday? And we must ask, now 0:02:50.755 --> 0:02:54.355 that Epstein has managed to convict Trump of at least 0:02:54.475 --> 0:02:58.795 a decade's long cover up, to what lengths will Trump 0:02:58.835 --> 0:03:01.795 go to stop the release of the files? And we 0:03:01.915 --> 0:03:06.035 must ask when will Trump's role in the Epstein crimes, 0:03:06.155 --> 0:03:09.035 in his past cover ups of them, in his current 0:03:09.155 --> 0:03:11.675 cover up of them, in his cover up of whatever 0:03:11.755 --> 0:03:15.875 he is guilty of. When will the true horror of 0:03:15.955 --> 0:03:20.515 Trump's guilt become so overwhelming, so disqualifying, that Republicans will 0:03:20.555 --> 0:03:23.195 have to make the choice between covering up for Trump 0:03:24.075 --> 0:03:27.835 or saving themselves, because that and that alone is the 0:03:27.835 --> 0:03:30.875 moment at which those who have enabled Trump for the 0:03:30.955 --> 0:03:35.155 last decade will become those who will remove Trump, the 0:03:35.235 --> 0:03:42.315 moment at which his public survival means their extinction, or, 0:03:42.475 --> 0:03:45.315 if you prefer to put it this way, their public 0:03:45.395 --> 0:03:52.915 survival means his presidential extinction. How much time does Trump 0:03:52.955 --> 0:04:01.435 have left before Epstein destroys him? To analyze what was 0:04:01.515 --> 0:04:04.395 released yesterday by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, there 0:04:04.395 --> 0:04:07.115 could be, in fact as many as four smoking guns, 0:04:07.155 --> 0:04:10.635 the first one obviously damning more because it is Epstein 0:04:10.795 --> 0:04:15.355 questioning with evident astonishment in twenty eleven, four years before 0:04:15.395 --> 0:04:19.435 Trump even considered running for president, astonished that Trump's name 0:04:19.475 --> 0:04:23.955 had not yet come up related to Epstein's circle. His 0:04:24.075 --> 0:04:28.515 phrase the dog that hasn't barked, That is from Sherlock Holmes. 0:04:29.195 --> 0:04:32.435 That is about a dog that should have reacted negatively 0:04:32.595 --> 0:04:35.435 to some stranger coming in to steal the horse, only 0:04:35.475 --> 0:04:39.235 he didn't bark. Therefore, the conclusion was the guy who 0:04:39.315 --> 0:04:42.915 stole the horse was not a stranger. The dog knew him. 0:04:43.195 --> 0:04:47.755 That's the dog that hasn't barked. The part about the 0:04:47.955 --> 0:04:52.515 hours with the redacted victim's name, that's almost less important 0:04:52.515 --> 0:04:55.835 here because that is probably Virginia Guffrey. The Republicans are 0:04:55.915 --> 0:04:59.635 loudly proclaiming it's her, and she also did once claim 0:04:59.675 --> 0:05:02.875 Trump had been gentlemanly towards her, So the relevance of 0:05:02.915 --> 0:05:06.555 that seems to be more about Trump being in Epstein's 0:05:06.635 --> 0:05:12.195 home with any of his women victims. There is, however, 0:05:12.315 --> 0:05:15.955 this line from another email an Epstein offered to a 0:05:16.075 --> 0:05:19.595 New York Times reporter quote, would you like photos of 0:05:19.675 --> 0:05:24.995 Donald and girls in bikinis in my kitchen? There is 0:05:25.075 --> 0:05:27.755 no doubt that Donald is Trump. There's a reference in 0:05:27.795 --> 0:05:29.995 the same thread with the New York Times reporter to 0:05:30.115 --> 0:05:33.155 quote my twenty year old girlfriend in ninety three that 0:05:33.275 --> 0:05:38.355 after two years I gave to Donald What did he 0:05:38.395 --> 0:05:44.315 give to Donald? Photos or the girlfriend? There is a 0:05:44.355 --> 0:05:48.635 thread about Epstein recounting his interactions with the Russian foreign 0:05:48.635 --> 0:05:54.155 minister and thug Sergei Lavrov, trying to help Lavrov understand Trump, 0:05:54.555 --> 0:05:58.235 serving as some sort of consultant to the Russians about 0:05:58.275 --> 0:06:01.075 how to deal with Trump, which extends the scandal into 0:06:01.155 --> 0:06:04.435 yet another area that may, in fact, long term proof 0:06:04.835 --> 0:06:09.515 are more deleterious to Trump than the Epstein per se 0:06:09.875 --> 0:06:14.355 sex ring and crimes. And then there is the fourth 0:06:14.555 --> 0:06:18.195 smoking gun, one that some readers are really hyped up 0:06:18.275 --> 0:06:21.795 about Mary A. Lago Epstein notes to author Michael Wolfe 0:06:21.795 --> 0:06:24.715 in another email quote, Trump said, he asked me to resign. 0:06:25.155 --> 0:06:28.515 Never remember Ever, of course he knew about the girls, 0:06:28.595 --> 0:06:32.915 as he asked Glane to stop. Sure, he is damning sounding, 0:06:32.955 --> 0:06:36.715 But what if knowing about the girls meant that Trump 0:06:36.835 --> 0:06:42.155 knew about Epstein recruiting women from Mary Lago, as Trump 0:06:42.195 --> 0:06:46.755 has claimed, and that he asked Maxwell to stop recruiting 0:06:47.275 --> 0:06:50.555 from Mary Lago. So that one, I think is too 0:06:50.635 --> 0:06:52.875 vague to have much meaning. The other three are not. 0:06:54.275 --> 0:06:59.635 But then again, all of this is one cube off 0:06:59.675 --> 0:07:03.595 the tip of the proverbial iceberg. By midday yesterday, Trump 0:07:03.635 --> 0:07:06.555 had panicked so much that he had twice posted again, 0:07:06.875 --> 0:07:11.075 calling I guess the entire pedophilia scandal and all of 0:07:11.075 --> 0:07:16.515 the crimes and his cover up of it, Trump's cover 0:07:16.635 --> 0:07:19.355 up of the Epstein files. He called it the Jeffrey 0:07:19.395 --> 0:07:25.875 Epstein hoax. Say that twenty more times in public, and 0:07:25.995 --> 0:07:29.835 you will lose what remains of Maga. And last night 0:07:29.955 --> 0:07:33.715 Nick Fuentes, whose words I ordinarily would give no value 0:07:33.755 --> 0:07:39.475 to whatsoever, declared that Maga is dead. After this, it 0:07:39.555 --> 0:07:41.955 had also been revealed by midday yesterday that Trump had 0:07:41.995 --> 0:07:46.955 personally pitched Lauren Bobert on Tuesday to take her name 0:07:47.075 --> 0:07:51.235 off the discharge petition that will now force the vote 0:07:51.275 --> 0:07:54.475 compelling the release of the Epstein files. The House vote 0:07:54.915 --> 0:07:57.875 we have been hearing so much about the one that 0:07:58.075 --> 0:08:01.195 the shutdown was really about to keep Adelie A. Grijalva 0:08:01.875 --> 0:08:05.115 from being registered as an official member of Congress and 0:08:05.155 --> 0:08:10.435 being the two hundred and eighteenth name on the discharge petition. Yesterday, 0:08:10.555 --> 0:08:14.755 they ratcheted this up when Trump's phone calls to Bobert 0:08:14.795 --> 0:08:16.915 to try to get her to remove her name did 0:08:16.915 --> 0:08:21.675 not work. There was a crash meeting with Lauren Bobert 0:08:22.075 --> 0:08:27.475 in the White House in the Situation Room. The Situation room, 0:08:27.955 --> 0:08:31.675 you know where President Obama and his key cabinet members 0:08:31.715 --> 0:08:35.835 watched the taking out of Osama bin Laden. This time 0:08:36.275 --> 0:08:41.035 it was Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, 0:08:41.395 --> 0:08:45.235 FBI Director Cash Patel a group that two years ago 0:08:45.275 --> 0:08:48.475 would have been a bad night's panel on a Hannity Show, 0:08:49.635 --> 0:08:53.675 Patel evidently taking time off from flying to boink his 0:08:53.795 --> 0:08:59.435 country singer girlfriend on Our Dime. Obama monitored the death 0:08:59.515 --> 0:09:04.395 of Bin Laden in the situation room. Trump's enablers monitored 0:09:04.435 --> 0:09:07.875 in the situation room whether they could convince a congresswoman 0:09:07.995 --> 0:09:12.795 whose husband allegedly exposed himself to females and was caught 0:09:12.915 --> 0:09:18.875 on film manipulating a constituent during the play, whether they 0:09:18.915 --> 0:09:21.755 could convince her the Epstein thing wasn't all that bad 0:09:23.635 --> 0:09:26.715 and it didn't work any Cardian of The New York 0:09:26.755 --> 0:09:29.755 Times reported quote by understanding is that the relentless pressure 0:09:29.795 --> 0:09:34.195 campaign that has included carrot stick, good Cop, Bad Cop 0:09:34.475 --> 0:09:38.035 has made her even more dug in, suspicious, and convinced 0:09:38.035 --> 0:09:45.235 there's a conspiracy at play. So, unlike Lauren Bobert, they 0:09:45.275 --> 0:09:51.275 didn't pull it off. Next. Republican leadership has warned the 0:09:51.275 --> 0:09:54.195 White House to prepare for the deluge when the vote 0:09:54.235 --> 0:09:56.995 forced by this discharge petition takes place. The number of 0:09:57.035 --> 0:09:59.675 House Republicans who will vote for it and thus vote 0:09:59.675 --> 0:10:03.755 against Trump will be per Politico sources, in the dozens 0:10:04.875 --> 0:10:11.715 quote possibly one hundred or more. Now it is hardly 0:10:11.715 --> 0:10:15.515 among the foremost atrocities in this disaster. But Attorney General 0:10:15.555 --> 0:10:19.235 Bondi looks like even more of an idiot now with 0:10:19.355 --> 0:10:22.635 her little white notebooks that did not include any of 0:10:22.675 --> 0:10:28.155 this good stuff. At her deputy, mister Todd Blanche, who 0:10:28.155 --> 0:10:31.075 would have had access to all of these emails released 0:10:31.155 --> 0:10:33.995 yesterday and yet, based on the transcripts, never asked anything 0:10:34.035 --> 0:10:36.235 remotely close to being about them when he went to 0:10:36.275 --> 0:10:39.715 see Gullane Maxwell in her Florida penitentiary right before they 0:10:39.755 --> 0:10:42.595 moved her to Club Fed in Texas. Mister Blanche now 0:10:42.755 --> 0:10:46.675 sure sounds like a candidate for disbarment sometime in the 0:10:46.715 --> 0:10:51.875 near future. As I mentioned earlier, what matters most now 0:10:51.955 --> 0:10:55.915 is what's next in the files, in the upcoming public 0:10:55.955 --> 0:10:58.715 battle over the files. In whatever Trump tries next to 0:10:58.755 --> 0:11:03.835 stop the files, he cannot win. Clearly there is something 0:11:03.915 --> 0:11:07.755 worse in there, and he knows that, or he would 0:11:07.835 --> 0:11:11.595 last night have called an immediate press briefing, explained what 0:11:11.835 --> 0:11:14.515 was meant by those emails that had just been released 0:11:14.515 --> 0:11:17.915 by those hoaxing Democrats, and he would have said that 0:11:17.955 --> 0:11:21.595 he was perfectly content with everything else in the Epstein 0:11:21.675 --> 0:11:24.875 files being put out right now, and hell, why not 0:11:25.035 --> 0:11:29.355 make it unanimous in the House by acclamation? And he 0:11:29.435 --> 0:11:33.915 didn't do that. So if the contents are released, he screwed. 0:11:35.035 --> 0:11:38.355 But if they're not released, he's also screwed because he 0:11:38.395 --> 0:11:41.595 will have to maintain a constant effort to make sure 0:11:42.155 --> 0:11:45.675 they are not released, a new cover up, if you will. 0:11:46.155 --> 0:11:50.315 Every effing week, the story not only becomes his one 0:11:50.315 --> 0:11:54.075 point eighty from campaigning promising to release these files to 0:11:54.275 --> 0:11:58.035 serving in office dedicating himself to do everything he can 0:11:58.115 --> 0:12:06.155 to not release them, it becomes that every day. The 0:12:06.195 --> 0:12:10.715 one quality to Watergate that no scandal that Trump has faced, 0:12:11.315 --> 0:12:15.315 the one quality Watergate had that nothing Trump has faced 0:12:15.475 --> 0:12:22.995 has yet developed, was that every day element, this could 0:12:22.995 --> 0:12:27.075 be it, we could have started, This could be day 0:12:27.115 --> 0:12:33.115 two of every day with the epstein Gate files. Now, 0:12:33.155 --> 0:12:35.395 if you are wondering how it is possible that even 0:12:35.435 --> 0:12:39.195 a deranged, morals free, sundowning person like Trump could have 0:12:39.235 --> 0:12:43.555 so loudly promised to release everything in some files if 0:12:43.595 --> 0:12:47.235 he knew they included him and would incriminate him and 0:12:47.355 --> 0:12:50.675 perhaps be fatal to his presidency, there are two outside 0:12:50.715 --> 0:12:55.715 factors to consider. First and biggest he had to get 0:12:55.755 --> 0:13:01.155 himself elected last fall. He had to. His other option 0:13:01.315 --> 0:13:03.715 was to go to prison for life. If he had 0:13:03.755 --> 0:13:07.155 determined that he could have guaranteed him self election by 0:13:07.235 --> 0:13:12.195 campaigning on a promise to, once in office, prosecute himself, 0:13:13.035 --> 0:13:17.395 he would have made that promise. And something that's less 0:13:17.515 --> 0:13:23.075 political science fiction, it is possible. Trump originally, when he 0:13:23.115 --> 0:13:27.795 made that promise last year, did not know, and his 0:13:27.875 --> 0:13:30.835 lack of imagination and surfeit of ego did not let 0:13:30.915 --> 0:13:34.155 him consider the possibility that even just what came out 0:13:34.235 --> 0:13:38.995 yesterday was in there. I don't know how many lawsuits 0:13:38.995 --> 0:13:43.235 and depositions he's been involved with. Hundreds, certainly, maybe it's 0:13:43.275 --> 0:13:47.115 more than a thousand, who knows. I imagine at that 0:13:47.675 --> 0:13:53.275 rate they blur after a while. I did one deposition 0:13:53.555 --> 0:13:56.835 in one lawsuit in my life. It was two days 0:13:57.195 --> 0:14:02.595 in twenty thirteen, and I remember nearly every detail, often 0:14:02.795 --> 0:14:08.115 in nightmares, and it went really well for me. I 0:14:08.195 --> 0:14:10.515 thought I knew what the other side would have found 0:14:10.675 --> 0:14:14.075 in its search of my emails, and for the most part, 0:14:14.115 --> 0:14:16.955 I was right about that. On the other hand, here 0:14:17.035 --> 0:14:18.995 is an anecdote that might give you an idea of 0:14:18.995 --> 0:14:21.875 how easy it is to be wrong about that. Their 0:14:21.955 --> 0:14:26.115 lawyer asked me about one subject heading and some of 0:14:26.115 --> 0:14:28.755 my emails to my manager, my agent, and my attorney. 0:14:29.395 --> 0:14:31.475 He asked me to estimate how many times I use 0:14:31.555 --> 0:14:35.675 this one phrase as the subject line in an email 0:14:35.715 --> 0:14:38.315 to those three people. I told him I had no 0:14:38.515 --> 0:14:41.755 good idea. He said he was not expecting a precise answer. 0:14:42.195 --> 0:14:44.595 He would not be holding me to it. He was 0:14:44.755 --> 0:14:47.395 just looking to establish a threshold. Was it this many? 0:14:47.475 --> 0:14:50.035 Was it more than that many? He finally got me 0:14:50.115 --> 0:14:53.835 to agree to his estimate when he said between seventy 0:14:53.835 --> 0:14:57.035 five and one hundred. I said, I thought that sounded right, 0:14:58.275 --> 0:15:02.995 And then I thought I heard my manager laugh involuntarily 0:15:03.075 --> 0:15:07.235 and very faintly. When we broke for lunch, maybe an 0:15:07.275 --> 0:15:09.275 hour later. As soon as we got far enough into 0:15:09.275 --> 0:15:11.555 the hallway for nobody else to hear, my manager and 0:15:11.595 --> 0:15:16.395 my attorney burst into laughter. Oh my god, the subject 0:15:16.435 --> 0:15:20.955 line number, my manager said. My lawyer laughed again. Seventy 0:15:20.995 --> 0:15:24.675 five and one hundred. The correct answer is you used 0:15:24.675 --> 0:15:31.395 it one thousand, two hundred and forty three times. So no, 0:15:31.955 --> 0:15:38.395 he might not have known. He knows now, And what 0:15:38.475 --> 0:15:41.435 he does know is that of all the pitfalls facing 0:15:41.515 --> 0:15:44.395 him right now. The foremost of them is Glaine Maxwell. 0:15:45.355 --> 0:15:50.435 This is a convicted child sex offender, and that is 0:15:50.475 --> 0:15:53.795 the nicest way to put it. Yet, after she gave 0:15:53.835 --> 0:15:56.755 Todd Blanche the answers that he wanted, she was not 0:15:56.835 --> 0:15:59.955 only rescued from that prison in Florida, she was basically 0:15:59.955 --> 0:16:05.715 transferred to a motel. Congressman Jane Ee Raskin is quoting 0:16:05.715 --> 0:16:10.115 a whistleblower who says customized meals are delivered to her cell. 0:16:10.795 --> 0:16:13.595 She has her own private exercise area she can use 0:16:13.635 --> 0:16:17.435 after hours. She has allowed trips out. She has private 0:16:17.475 --> 0:16:21.275 meetings with visitors, and snacks are provided by the prison 0:16:21.355 --> 0:16:24.715 and the guests can bring in their computers, meaning Maxwell 0:16:24.755 --> 0:16:32.235 has unmonitored communications with the outside world, including interviews with reporters. Oh, 0:16:32.275 --> 0:16:36.675 and she has a service puppy and a service warden. 0:16:37.635 --> 0:16:40.035 She is writing an appeal to Trump for a sentence 0:16:40.075 --> 0:16:46.115 commutation and the warden is helping her, and if Trump 0:16:46.155 --> 0:16:49.675 does commute the sentence or worse, pardons her, he will 0:16:49.715 --> 0:16:54.555 inherit the wind Epstein's email about wanting the recipient to 0:16:54.675 --> 0:16:59.155 realize that the dog that hasn't barked is Trump to 0:16:59.315 --> 0:17:02.395 realize how Trump spent hours with a victim in Epstein's 0:17:02.395 --> 0:17:06.315 home to realize that Epstein is surprised he has never 0:17:06.355 --> 0:17:09.675 been mentioned. That was sent to Galaine Maxwell, and her 0:17:09.675 --> 0:17:15.395 response was I have been thinking about that. There are 0:17:15.435 --> 0:17:20.315 two key answers to two key final questions, what's in 0:17:20.355 --> 0:17:25.915 the files that's worse? And what does Maxwell know about Trump? 0:17:26.755 --> 0:17:31.595 And the answers to both of those questions are probably 0:17:32.675 --> 0:17:43.835 exactly the same. Briefly, there's also, as ever context, MAGA 0:17:43.875 --> 0:17:48.435 has been disenchanted yet again by of all things, a 0:17:48.555 --> 0:17:53.075 Laura Ingram interview with Trump, one SoundBite in particular, in 0:17:53.115 --> 0:17:57.355 which Ingram insists that H one B visas, which fast 0:17:57.355 --> 0:18:00.835 track immigrants with special work skills, can't be a priority 0:18:00.835 --> 0:18:03.875 for Trump's administration, and he says, you also do have 0:18:03.915 --> 0:18:07.435 to bring in town, and in her best xenophobic tone, 0:18:07.435 --> 0:18:10.875 she reminds him we have plenty of talent, and he 0:18:10.995 --> 0:18:15.075 dismissively says, no, you don't know, you don't, and she 0:18:15.195 --> 0:18:20.475 replies with astonishment, we don't have talented people here. This 0:18:20.595 --> 0:18:24.595 is not exactly Trump calling Americans untalented, but it's close enough. 0:18:25.995 --> 0:18:29.435 His supporters are not that bright. Any nuance, any space, 0:18:29.475 --> 0:18:33.315 any wiggle room between those two statements doesn't exist for them. 0:18:33.995 --> 0:18:35.955 On top of the fact that they are getting killed 0:18:35.995 --> 0:18:40.555 at the grocery store and everywhere else. And after they 0:18:40.795 --> 0:18:44.355 show their government, I'm allowed to buy popcorn id now 0:18:44.435 --> 0:18:48.075 they have to find out that it's not America. First, 0:18:48.115 --> 0:18:53.275 after all, Christy nom followed that Trump comment to Ingram 0:18:53.435 --> 0:18:56.315 yesterday with a boast that there are more immigrants than 0:18:56.355 --> 0:19:02.155 ever becoming citizens. And clearly, unsurprisingly, considering they're all idiots, 0:19:02.795 --> 0:19:07.155 the magas in office have lost the plot. They have 0:19:07.235 --> 0:19:17.875 forgotten that they were elected to demonize and expel foreigners period. Secondly, 0:19:17.915 --> 0:19:20.795 the full blame has yet to land exclusively or permanently 0:19:20.835 --> 0:19:23.955 on Trump associated press and Nork with a new pole. 0:19:24.675 --> 0:19:29.435 His approval is thirty six percent, a record low but 0:19:29.635 --> 0:19:34.235 not terminal. However, in March, forty three percent of the 0:19:34.235 --> 0:19:37.835 country approved not of him, but of how Trump was 0:19:37.995 --> 0:19:41.835 managing the government. That was the phrase used, managing the government. 0:19:43.235 --> 0:19:46.155 Forty three percent approval is not a lot, but in 0:19:46.195 --> 0:19:48.595 retrospect it looks like a landslide, because in the new 0:19:48.635 --> 0:19:51.675 poll from this month it's down to thirty three percent 0:19:52.235 --> 0:19:55.635 and just thirty eight percent among independents. In other words, 0:19:57.195 --> 0:20:01.635 two thirds of the country do not think he is handling, managing, 0:20:01.875 --> 0:20:07.795 controlling his own government. Well, Trump is not on his 0:20:07.955 --> 0:20:11.675 last legs, but the real life version of the Emperor's 0:20:11.675 --> 0:20:15.475 New Clothes seems to be reaching its final chapter, if 0:20:15.555 --> 0:20:20.115 not its final pages. And now we have these Epstein 0:20:20.235 --> 0:20:25.235 emails and whatever we don't have yet, And so I 0:20:25.315 --> 0:20:30.435 ask again how much time does he have left before 0:20:30.435 --> 0:20:55.315 Epstein destroys him? A couple of updates on Trump's accelerating 0:20:55.355 --> 0:21:00.395 dementia or dementia like illnesses or illness if you missed it. 0:21:00.435 --> 0:21:03.155 He now wants to move troops into a place in 0:21:03.195 --> 0:21:08.595 America that does not exist. Quote. The Miracle Mile shopping 0:21:08.635 --> 0:21:12.075 center in Chicago, once considered our nation's best, is ready 0:21:12.115 --> 0:21:14.875 to call it quits unless something is done about murder 0:21:14.915 --> 0:21:17.835 and crime. Call in the troops fast before it is 0:21:17.875 --> 0:21:24.035 too late. Just the news. Unquote. There is no Miracle 0:21:24.275 --> 0:21:30.635 Mile shopping center in Chicago. It's possible Trump just dreamt 0:21:30.675 --> 0:21:37.035 it or hallucinated it, or who knows. There is the 0:21:37.195 --> 0:21:43.715 so called Magnificent Mile shopping district in Chicago around the 0:21:43.715 --> 0:21:46.035 Hancock Center and the Wrigley Building In the pre eighteen 0:21:46.115 --> 0:21:49.795 seventy one fire water Tower. But it's not a shopping center, 0:21:50.075 --> 0:21:54.155 and it's never been called a shopping center except by Trump. 0:21:55.155 --> 0:21:58.595 Apart from his conflation of the words magnificent and miracle. 0:21:59.315 --> 0:22:02.115 Ask him to repeat those words in the next cognitive 0:22:02.155 --> 0:22:05.635 tests scheduled already for next April. There it is a 0:22:05.715 --> 0:22:10.155 Miracle Miles shopping center in Monroeville, PA. And there's a 0:22:10.235 --> 0:22:13.115 Miracle Mile shopping center in Vegas, and there's one in LA. 0:22:13.515 --> 0:22:16.595 And if Trump wants to send troops to Chicago to 0:22:16.755 --> 0:22:22.555 protect Monroeville, PA, he's farther gone than we thought, like 0:22:23.555 --> 0:22:26.275 far enough to have once again said, the Presidential Medal 0:22:26.315 --> 0:22:29.395 of Freedom is much better than the Congressional Medal of Honor, 0:22:29.555 --> 0:22:32.035 because if you get the Congressional Medal of Honor, you 0:22:32.075 --> 0:22:35.595 could be dead or wounded. Only he said it last 0:22:35.635 --> 0:22:39.155 Saturday to a local newscaster in Pennsylvania, and it went 0:22:39.275 --> 0:22:45.635 viral on Veteran's Day. On the other hand, in a 0:22:45.795 --> 0:22:48.915 rare development, and you may want a clip and save 0:22:49.075 --> 0:22:55.715 me saying this, Trump was actually right about something. The 0:22:55.755 --> 0:22:58.155 head of BBC News and the head of the entire 0:22:58.235 --> 0:23:03.115 BBC suddenly resigned after an edit made in a news 0:23:03.155 --> 0:23:06.955 special that aired more than a year ago, was made 0:23:06.995 --> 0:23:10.315 into a big deal publicly in England in the edit 0:23:10.355 --> 0:23:14.075 two separate clips from Trump's infamous January sixth warm up 0:23:14.155 --> 0:23:17.795 speech that preceded his goon's attempt to overthrow the government 0:23:17.915 --> 0:23:22.915 and kill congressman, senators, and vice presidents. Trump, of course, 0:23:23.035 --> 0:23:26.875 has lived his life in that space between trying to 0:23:26.915 --> 0:23:29.955 inspire others to commit crimes and violence on his behalf 0:23:30.195 --> 0:23:33.915 and actually getting blamed when the crimes and violence occur. 0:23:34.675 --> 0:23:38.475 If he has any intelligence at all, it lies in 0:23:38.515 --> 0:23:43.675 that skill. I didn't do it. I just said it. Well. 0:23:43.715 --> 0:23:47.075 The BBC's edit eliminated that space. And whereas that might 0:23:47.115 --> 0:23:49.515 be a good thing from a moral point of view, 0:23:50.155 --> 0:23:52.395 from a journalistic one, you just can't do what the 0:23:52.395 --> 0:23:56.515 BBC did. You cannot take two statements made about fifty 0:23:56.595 --> 0:23:59.755 minutes apart in real life and edit them together so 0:23:59.915 --> 0:24:03.795 adroitly that it literally changes the meaning that it sounds 0:24:03.835 --> 0:24:06.195 like he's saying he and the mob we'll now go 0:24:06.275 --> 0:24:09.395 to the Capitol and physically fight like hell like there 0:24:09.435 --> 0:24:13.675 was no nuance to it. You can't do that. If 0:24:13.675 --> 0:24:17.315 I had done that with two sound bites at my 0:24:17.435 --> 0:24:21.515 college radio station, they would have suspended me in nineteen 0:24:21.515 --> 0:24:25.195 seventy five. You can run those two sound bites consecutively, 0:24:25.315 --> 0:24:29.795 provided you put in something between them. It can be 0:24:29.875 --> 0:24:34.915 an explanatory sentence, it can be an explanatory hour. It 0:24:34.955 --> 0:24:39.195 can be just one word like later. But you have 0:24:39.275 --> 0:24:41.835 to make the distinction even when you are quoting the devil. 0:24:42.155 --> 0:24:45.315 It was a day one journalism one oh one mistake 0:24:46.315 --> 0:24:56.115 or a day one journalism one oh one malfunction, dysfunction, 0:24:58.115 --> 0:25:02.795 attempt to sneak something past the editors. That being said, 0:25:02.835 --> 0:25:05.355 Trump's response to this was to demand a retraction of 0:25:05.395 --> 0:25:10.795 the documentary. Again, he's right. They should do that. They 0:25:10.835 --> 0:25:14.355 should officially retract and kill that documentary. They've already taken 0:25:14.355 --> 0:25:18.155 it off their website. And he wants an apology. That's 0:25:18.195 --> 0:25:21.275 the BBC's call. What I would do is the BBC 0:25:21.315 --> 0:25:26.115 should apologize to all viewers in the world, including Trump. 0:25:26.155 --> 0:25:28.755 If they want to say that, that to me would suffice. 0:25:29.075 --> 0:25:32.515 We apologize to everyone who has ever lived for our 0:25:32.755 --> 0:25:36.595 editing mistake. And of course he wants money. He wants 0:25:36.595 --> 0:25:39.155 a bribe like he got from ABC and CBS, or 0:25:39.195 --> 0:25:42.395 he'll sue them for a billion dollars because they damaged 0:25:42.475 --> 0:25:47.155 his reputation. This is where the part about an update 0:25:47.195 --> 0:25:51.475 on Trump's madness comes in. What reputation is that? Exactly, Sonny. 0:25:52.435 --> 0:25:55.675 They made it look like you inspired the January sixth insurrection. 0:25:57.715 --> 0:26:02.555 You did, You've boasted about it. They tried to kill 0:26:02.555 --> 0:26:05.675 your vice president while carrying giant flag bearing your name. 0:26:06.595 --> 0:26:10.595 Plus you're Trump. How could they damage you? How could 0:26:10.635 --> 0:26:13.635 anybody damage you? It's like the devil suing over a 0:26:13.675 --> 0:26:17.955 report that it's hot in hell. Plus there'd have to 0:26:17.955 --> 0:26:21.395 be malice proven, and some indication that the program was 0:26:21.395 --> 0:26:25.755 shown in America, which it wasn't. But I will tell 0:26:25.795 --> 0:26:28.115 you this, it's very hard to root for the BBC 0:26:28.155 --> 0:26:30.955 in this because it is such an odd organization. I 0:26:30.995 --> 0:26:33.315 had my own run in with the BBC about six 0:26:33.395 --> 0:26:37.835 years ago over a podcast. The idea that the BBC 0:26:38.075 --> 0:26:42.315 is not perfect is deeply hurtful to the people who 0:26:42.395 --> 0:26:46.835 run the BBC, who just are not that realistic about 0:26:47.835 --> 0:26:52.155 the BBC. Now, for the most part, the BBC's newspeople 0:26:52.155 --> 0:26:55.995 are brilliant, impeccable. If they are not the best in 0:26:56.035 --> 0:26:57.915 the world, they are among the best in the world. 0:26:57.915 --> 0:27:00.875 But this is a company that once ran an advertisement 0:27:01.115 --> 0:27:04.635 for the neutrality of its political coverage by having anchor Cat, 0:27:05.275 --> 0:27:06.995 who is not one of the best in the world, 0:27:07.275 --> 0:27:11.115 walked through the streets of Washington, passed giant graphic representations 0:27:11.115 --> 0:27:15.595 of words like neutrality and fairness. And she was blathering 0:27:15.635 --> 0:27:18.715 throughout this promo, insisting that the BBC had never taken 0:27:18.755 --> 0:27:23.595 a side in any election or any war. And I 0:27:23.635 --> 0:27:26.155 snorted milk through my nose, and I made a big 0:27:26.195 --> 0:27:29.675 stink about this little thing. In the forties that you 0:27:29.755 --> 0:27:34.235 might remember when when this Hitler guy was sending bombers 0:27:34.715 --> 0:27:39.315 to London just to try to blow up the building 0:27:39.355 --> 0:27:43.235 the BBC was in and bomb its studios and light 0:27:43.315 --> 0:27:46.755 its newscasters on fire. And how at the time BBC 0:27:46.915 --> 0:27:51.555 broadcasts were sending secret coded messages to the French resistance. 0:27:51.715 --> 0:27:54.515 And I said, so, so the BBC did not take 0:27:54.635 --> 0:27:58.795 sides in the Nazi war. To blow up the BBC, 0:27:59.795 --> 0:28:04.115 we're supposed to believe this. I don't think I was 0:28:04.115 --> 0:28:07.155 the only one who complaint, but they did stop running 0:28:07.155 --> 0:28:10.795 the ads once they realized, oh, that's right, we were 0:28:10.875 --> 0:28:13.875 rooting for our own country during the Second World War. 0:28:14.595 --> 0:28:19.675 How unfair of us. The BBC's attitude is very much 0:28:19.755 --> 0:28:23.075 like The New York Times combined the I'm shocked, shocked 0:28:23.115 --> 0:28:25.515 to find that gambling is going on in here line 0:28:25.515 --> 0:28:29.715 from Casablanca, with the arrogance of we are the BBC, 0:28:29.875 --> 0:28:33.755 We do not make mistakes. You must be mistaken about 0:28:33.835 --> 0:28:37.675 our mistake. And then add in a British political controversy 0:28:37.715 --> 0:28:41.475 over funding for the BBC and the BBC's clunky inability 0:28:41.475 --> 0:28:46.555 to handle politics at all. They somehow get and deserve 0:28:46.595 --> 0:28:51.155
