1
00:00:04,835 --> 00:00:20,675
Speaker 1: Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. I

2
00:00:20,715 --> 00:00:23,595
Speaker 1: think there can no longer be any doubt that as

3
00:00:23,635 --> 00:00:27,875
Speaker 1: the last weekend of the campaign hits, the Trump internal

4
00:00:27,995 --> 00:00:33,235
Speaker 1: polls are telling his handlers that he is losing, and

5
00:00:33,355 --> 00:00:37,435
Speaker 1: losing by enough that, however close the popular vote might

6
00:00:37,555 --> 00:00:42,355
Speaker 1: turn out to be, he will lose handily and decisively

7
00:00:42,595 --> 00:00:46,595
Speaker 1: in the electoral College, and his only chance now is

8
00:00:46,635 --> 00:00:51,995
Speaker 1: to foment another insurrection, whether by violence or via the

9
00:00:52,155 --> 00:00:55,635
Speaker 1: machinations of that little shit eating weasel Speaker of the

10
00:00:55,675 --> 00:01:02,475
Speaker 1: House Mike Johnson Axios. It's Mike Allen reporting this possibly

11
00:01:03,115 --> 00:01:08,475
Speaker 1: the most gullible and easily led man in the history

12
00:01:08,555 --> 00:01:15,155
Speaker 1: of American journalism, and I include Bill Hemmer and everybody

13
00:01:15,155 --> 00:01:20,315
Speaker 1: else who's ever worked at Fox News. Mike Allen, possibly

14
00:01:20,395 --> 00:01:23,395
Speaker 1: the most gullible lan in journalism or whatever he's actually

15
00:01:23,475 --> 00:01:29,355
Speaker 1: in presented this as a scoop. I quote a new

16
00:01:29,515 --> 00:01:34,555
Speaker 1: internal memo by Tony Fabrizio, chief polster for all three

17
00:01:34,635 --> 00:01:38,875
Speaker 1: of Trump's presidential campaigns, tells the former president he's in

18
00:01:38,875 --> 00:01:42,195
Speaker 1: a radically better position than he was right before the

19
00:01:42,235 --> 00:01:45,875
Speaker 1: twenty twenty election. Mike, this is not a scoop. It's

20
00:01:45,875 --> 00:01:49,235
Speaker 1: a press release. Why it matters. The memo reflects the

21
00:01:49,315 --> 00:01:54,435
Speaker 1: exuberance that Trump staffers and allies exude in interviews and

22
00:01:54,515 --> 00:01:58,075
Speaker 1: behind the scenes conversations. The optimistic framing could make it

23
00:01:58,115 --> 00:02:01,315
Speaker 1: even more difficult for Trump followers to accept a loss

24
00:02:01,395 --> 00:02:05,395
Speaker 1: as legitimate. Mike has just hit the lead there at

25
00:02:05,395 --> 00:02:08,995
Speaker 1: that end of that sentence and hasn't even noticed might

26
00:02:09,155 --> 00:02:11,955
Speaker 1: make it even more difficult for Trump followers to accept

27
00:02:11,955 --> 00:02:15,715
Speaker 1: a loss as legitimate. But back to his scoop. The

28
00:02:15,835 --> 00:02:20,715
Speaker 1: memo addressed to capital letters only Team Trump has the

29
00:02:20,755 --> 00:02:26,715
Speaker 1: subject line President Trump is on the verge to some degree.

30
00:02:26,795 --> 00:02:29,315
Speaker 1: It is terrifying, and not just for the fact that

31
00:02:29,355 --> 00:02:32,435
Speaker 1: this guy Allen has founded two of the larger news

32
00:02:32,515 --> 00:02:36,555
Speaker 1: organizations and two of the newer successful news organizations in

33
00:02:36,595 --> 00:02:40,875
Speaker 1: this country in the last fifteen years. It's terrifying because

34
00:02:40,915 --> 00:02:44,195
Speaker 1: it sounds like they have internal data that suggests they're winning,

35
00:02:44,235 --> 00:02:48,475
Speaker 1: and then we discovered what actually happened here. Quote Fabrizio

36
00:02:48,635 --> 00:02:53,995
Speaker 1: draws on real clear politics polling averages to argue that

37
00:02:53,995 --> 00:02:58,195
Speaker 1: Trump's position nationally and in every single battleground state is

38
00:02:58,315 --> 00:03:02,275
Speaker 1: significantly better today than it was four years ago. I

39
00:03:02,355 --> 00:03:06,035
Speaker 1: point this out not to stoke over confidence or complacency,

40
00:03:06,315 --> 00:03:08,915
Speaker 1: but to illustrate just how close this election is and

41
00:03:08,955 --> 00:03:15,355
Speaker 1: that victory is within our reach. The Polster ads they

42
00:03:15,395 --> 00:03:19,795
Speaker 1: needed to plant this somewhere, and somebody said plants, like

43
00:03:19,915 --> 00:03:26,675
Speaker 1: in ferns plants. Oh, of course, Mike Allen, Let me

44
00:03:26,795 --> 00:03:32,075
Speaker 1: explain real clear politics for a moment. Real clear politics

45
00:03:33,075 --> 00:03:38,595
Speaker 1: is the Rasmussen made up numbers. And remember the Rasmussen organizations.

46
00:03:38,595 --> 00:03:43,035
Speaker 1: There's now two different sets of Rasmussen poles. The Rasmussens

47
00:03:43,075 --> 00:03:47,035
Speaker 1: are the people who invented ESPN and then sold it

48
00:03:47,075 --> 00:03:54,115
Speaker 1: for like eighty seven dollars. That's where they started. Somebody

49
00:03:54,115 --> 00:03:57,355
Speaker 1: who got fired as a local sportscaster in Hartford, Connecticut

50
00:03:57,915 --> 00:04:01,515
Speaker 1: invented ESPN and gave it away for nothing. They're now

51
00:04:01,515 --> 00:04:04,435
Speaker 1: in the polling business, except they don't do real polls.

52
00:04:04,755 --> 00:04:08,835
Speaker 1: They just produced numbers that Republicans like. So real clear politics,

53
00:04:08,875 --> 00:04:12,995
Speaker 1: the real clear politics average is the Rasmussen made up

54
00:04:13,115 --> 00:04:18,115
Speaker 1: poll plus some disreputable ones. As I have been saying

55
00:04:18,155 --> 00:04:21,915
Speaker 1: for a month, October would be devoted to various organizations

56
00:04:21,915 --> 00:04:25,795
Speaker 1: you have never heard from or heard of before, issuing

57
00:04:25,875 --> 00:04:30,035
Speaker 1: polls showing Trump leading by ten Trump leading by seventeen

58
00:04:30,275 --> 00:04:36,435
Speaker 1: in Michigan, Trump leading in Wisconsin, Trump ahead uncatchably in Pennsylvania.

59
00:04:36,475 --> 00:04:41,195
Speaker 1: Maybe in some state, Trump leading four million, three hundred

60
00:04:41,195 --> 00:04:43,995
Speaker 1: and twenty seven two hundred and sixty one votes to nothing,

61
00:04:44,715 --> 00:04:47,955
Speaker 1: things like that. So the Rasmussen numbers are the more

62
00:04:47,955 --> 00:04:52,195
Speaker 1: reliable ones, and the real clear politics result is there

63
00:04:52,555 --> 00:04:56,315
Speaker 1: solely to make Republican voters think they are winning and

64
00:04:56,435 --> 00:05:01,235
Speaker 1: to set up another Trump insurrection, to stoke the idea,

65
00:05:01,875 --> 00:05:05,155
Speaker 1: if it were not stoked enough by this site path.

66
00:05:05,315 --> 00:05:09,955
Speaker 1: Every time he opens his orange blow up sex doll mouth,

67
00:05:10,115 --> 00:05:12,995
Speaker 1: as we saw in the shots of him from Wisconsin

68
00:05:13,275 --> 00:05:15,835
Speaker 1: in the orange vest. And I'm sorry for the imagery,

69
00:05:15,955 --> 00:05:18,795
Speaker 1: but the imagery is way worse than me talking about

70
00:05:18,795 --> 00:05:22,155
Speaker 1: the imagery. It's worse than every time he opens his

71
00:05:22,275 --> 00:05:26,875
Speaker 1: mouth and that stuff comes out. Because here it is

72
00:05:26,915 --> 00:05:30,275
Speaker 1: in print, it must be true. It's real clear politics.

73
00:05:30,515 --> 00:05:35,395
Speaker 1: We know that's good because it says real clear. Trump

74
00:05:35,435 --> 00:05:39,315
Speaker 1: has been questioning the vote in Pennsylvania for a week now.

75
00:05:39,675 --> 00:05:42,835
Speaker 1: Has been threatening legal action, has been threatening to get

76
00:05:42,835 --> 00:05:46,315
Speaker 1: people arrested, has been insisting there has been fraud, has

77
00:05:46,355 --> 00:05:49,155
Speaker 1: been insisting that there have been ballot stolen and there

78
00:05:49,235 --> 00:05:54,155
Speaker 1: were ballots stolen by Republicans has been insisting it's all fixed.

79
00:05:54,195 --> 00:05:58,275
Speaker 1: In Pennsylvania, it's already happening. And there's only one possible

80
00:05:58,355 --> 00:06:03,755
Speaker 1: explanation for that. He knows, or somebody knows looking at you,

81
00:06:03,875 --> 00:06:09,675
Speaker 1: Tony Fabric, that the internals, particularly in Pennsylvania, and the

82
00:06:09,795 --> 00:06:13,875
Speaker 1: early voting particularly and in Pennsylvania are bad enough to

83
00:06:14,035 --> 00:06:20,755
Speaker 1: cost him that pivotal Keystone state. And here's the evidence

84
00:06:20,795 --> 00:06:26,275
Speaker 1: of it from Politico, which still occasionally occasionally runs an

85
00:06:26,315 --> 00:06:30,875
Speaker 1: actual news story as opposed to something planted by the GOP.

86
00:06:32,155 --> 00:06:35,475
Speaker 1: Trump is lagging Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania early voting with

87
00:06:35,515 --> 00:06:42,675
Speaker 1: a critical and once reliable Republican constituency, seniors in Pennsylvania,

88
00:06:42,715 --> 00:06:45,715
Speaker 1: where voters over the age of sixty five, Holy crap,

89
00:06:45,795 --> 00:06:48,155
Speaker 1: that would be me, have cast nearly half of the

90
00:06:48,235 --> 00:06:53,315
Speaker 1: early ballots. Registered Democrats account for about fifty eight percent

91
00:06:53,355 --> 00:06:56,795
Speaker 1: of votes cast by seniors, compared to thirty five percent

92
00:06:56,875 --> 00:07:01,555
Speaker 1: for Republicans. That's despite both parties having roughly equal numbers

93
00:07:01,595 --> 00:07:06,635
Speaker 1: of registered voters aged sixty five and older. I will

94
00:07:06,675 --> 00:07:09,875
Speaker 1: point something out to you that sounds shocking if you

95
00:07:09,915 --> 00:07:12,635
Speaker 1: are not sixty five or older, but once you get

96
00:07:12,675 --> 00:07:15,955
Speaker 1: to sixty five, as I am suddenly becomes well to

97
00:07:16,075 --> 00:07:20,395
Speaker 1: use a phrase, real clear, you do tend to think

98
00:07:20,435 --> 00:07:23,155
Speaker 1: in terms of if I get this done now, it'll

99
00:07:23,155 --> 00:07:26,755
Speaker 1: be done in case I die suddenly. Like voting in advance,

100
00:07:26,835 --> 00:07:28,875
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I get a two week advantage. My

101
00:07:28,995 --> 00:07:31,795
Speaker 1: vote will still count even if I'm dead, or if

102
00:07:31,835 --> 00:07:36,275
Speaker 1: I die on election morning. It's not morbid. It's not

103
00:07:36,795 --> 00:07:40,275
Speaker 1: prophesying your own death. It's not doubting you're gonna make it.

104
00:07:40,275 --> 00:07:44,795
Speaker 1: It's just you know, planning, Like while you're out and

105
00:07:44,795 --> 00:07:46,595
Speaker 1: you're near a post office and you get a whole

106
00:07:46,675 --> 00:07:51,595
Speaker 1: row of stamps. I'm not going to use them all today.

107
00:07:51,755 --> 00:07:54,515
Speaker 1: Remember what the idea here is and why Trump has

108
00:07:54,555 --> 00:07:59,435
Speaker 1: been continually talking about Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is the key, but

109
00:07:59,555 --> 00:08:02,395
Speaker 1: not because Trump is going to win in Pennsylvania. Because

110
00:08:02,795 --> 00:08:06,075
Speaker 1: all that, from what I can tell, the internal polls

111
00:08:06,195 --> 00:08:10,675
Speaker 1: inside the camp at Harris HQ suggests the other that

112
00:08:10,715 --> 00:08:12,835
Speaker 1: they are going to win, That all their trends in

113
00:08:12,835 --> 00:08:16,075
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania are positive, that they have been positive and ever

114
00:08:16,195 --> 00:08:20,435
Speaker 1: more so positive since she took over the nomination in July,

115
00:08:20,795 --> 00:08:23,995
Speaker 1: and that they've been moving incrementally one tenth of one

116
00:08:24,075 --> 00:08:28,235
Speaker 1: percent a day every day since then in every category

117
00:08:28,315 --> 00:08:33,635
Speaker 1: except nazis that they might win the state of Pennsylvania

118
00:08:33,715 --> 00:08:37,155
Speaker 1: by more than Biden did. That they might get to

119
00:08:37,395 --> 00:08:39,635
Speaker 1: six figures. They might win the state by one hundred

120
00:08:39,715 --> 00:08:43,755
Speaker 1: thousand votes. That would be a comparative landslide. That they

121
00:08:43,875 --> 00:08:47,075
Speaker 1: might win all the swing states, seven swing states, by

122
00:08:47,115 --> 00:08:52,795
Speaker 1: a total of four hundred thousand votes. We'll take it, because,

123
00:08:52,795 --> 00:08:55,755
Speaker 1: of course, what the result would be in the electoral

124
00:08:55,755 --> 00:08:57,795
Speaker 1: college is the same as if you won each of

125
00:08:57,795 --> 00:09:01,755
Speaker 1: those swing states by ten million votes. But remember the

126
00:09:01,795 --> 00:09:05,675
Speaker 1: Trump idea here. If there is no ille electoral path

127
00:09:05,755 --> 00:09:10,395
Speaker 1: to victory, you force a contingent election. And again just

128
00:09:10,435 --> 00:09:12,675
Speaker 1: to go over that, that is one in which for

129
00:09:12,715 --> 00:09:18,675
Speaker 1: some reason there are not enough electors, there are not

130
00:09:19,515 --> 00:09:26,555
Speaker 1: a clear majority being presented, and the electoral decision is

131
00:09:26,595 --> 00:09:29,835
Speaker 1: made by the House of Representatives. One vote per state,

132
00:09:30,435 --> 00:09:33,675
Speaker 1: and obviously that would be like at the conventions. There's

133
00:09:33,715 --> 00:09:36,795
Speaker 1: one vote per state, the majority in that state in

134
00:09:36,875 --> 00:09:39,755
Speaker 1: terms of the electoral college, in terms of the House

135
00:09:39,795 --> 00:09:43,755
Speaker 1: of Representatives, group would get the one vote. Most of

136
00:09:43,795 --> 00:09:50,435
Speaker 1: the states are Republican. Therefore Trump would win thirty seven

137
00:09:50,435 --> 00:09:55,955
Speaker 1: to twenty three. But you can't accomplish that, as we

138
00:09:55,995 --> 00:09:58,915
Speaker 1: heard earlier this week in the Peace in the Washington

139
00:09:58,955 --> 00:10:02,835
Speaker 1: Post by professors Lawrence Tribe, Neil Buchananda Michael Dorf, you

140
00:10:02,875 --> 00:10:05,755
Speaker 1: can't do that simply by holding up the Pennsylvania delegation.

141
00:10:06,195 --> 00:10:08,595
Speaker 1: That's where you start. You say, oh, there's something wrong

142
00:10:08,635 --> 00:10:11,955
Speaker 1: with the Pennsylvania delegation. What you would need to do is,

143
00:10:11,955 --> 00:10:14,475
Speaker 1: depending on the margin of victory for Kamala Harris, you'd

144
00:10:14,515 --> 00:10:19,395
Speaker 1: either need to hold up two other states Pennsylvania and

145
00:10:19,595 --> 00:10:23,355
Speaker 1: Arizona and Wisconsin. Say if she won all three of those,

146
00:10:23,515 --> 00:10:26,075
Speaker 1: and then suddenly Trump would have the majority of the

147
00:10:26,115 --> 00:10:29,115
Speaker 1: available votes at the Electoral College and he would be

148
00:10:29,155 --> 00:10:32,835
Speaker 1: the winner, with the other ones being recorded as zero votes.

149
00:10:33,995 --> 00:10:36,715
Speaker 1: The other option is, of course, to try to get

150
00:10:36,755 --> 00:10:39,835
Speaker 1: an alternate vote of electors in there, no matter what

151
00:10:39,915 --> 00:10:44,515
Speaker 1: the outcome is, if Trump indeed loses Pennsylvania, you somehow

152
00:10:44,595 --> 00:10:48,355
Speaker 1: get a second set of electors. The twenty twenty Eastman plan,

153
00:10:48,595 --> 00:10:51,115
Speaker 1: the alternate electors. You just have been planning it and

154
00:10:51,195 --> 00:10:53,835
Speaker 1: working on it and refining it and making it legal

155
00:10:53,875 --> 00:10:56,955
Speaker 1: and lining it up with the judges four years in advance,

156
00:10:57,155 --> 00:11:00,755
Speaker 1: four years of groundwork to this point, the idea that

157
00:11:00,835 --> 00:11:03,355
Speaker 1: came to them far too late to actually work in

158
00:11:03,395 --> 00:11:09,235
Speaker 1: twenty twenty has been percolating ever since. So that's the idea.

159
00:11:10,155 --> 00:11:13,675
Speaker 1: Keep selling the idea that he is winning and has

160
00:11:13,715 --> 00:11:18,635
Speaker 1: had it stolen from him, and take your chances with

161
00:11:18,795 --> 00:11:23,155
Speaker 1: violence or with Mike Johnson and the little secret that

162
00:11:23,155 --> 00:11:26,395
Speaker 1: they have going for them. It is either a coup

163
00:11:26,795 --> 00:11:31,355
Speaker 1: by murder, which again can be responded to by tanks,

164
00:11:32,235 --> 00:11:36,635
Speaker 1: or a coup by Mike Johnson. And you just have

165
00:11:36,715 --> 00:11:38,755
Speaker 1: to ask yourself, if you're a president of the United

166
00:11:38,755 --> 00:11:42,075
Speaker 1: States and Mike Johnson tries to steal the election, what

167
00:11:42,115 --> 00:11:45,875
Speaker 1: do you do. My advice to President Biden would be, Hey,

168
00:11:46,435 --> 00:11:49,515
Speaker 1: the other idea works well here too. Mike Johnson tries

169
00:11:49,555 --> 00:12:01,515
Speaker 1: to steal the election, get the tanks out anyway. Yeah,

170
00:12:01,515 --> 00:12:04,235
Speaker 1: he would respond the way the guy did at Tiananman Square.

171
00:12:04,795 --> 00:12:10,515
Speaker 1: Oh stop, anybody see Mike Johnson around here anywhere? Well,

172
00:12:10,635 --> 00:12:17,595
Speaker 1: check the pavement. He may be down there somewhere. Crazily enough,

173
00:12:18,235 --> 00:12:21,475
Speaker 1: all of what I am postulating in Pennsylvania and elsewhere,

174
00:12:21,515 --> 00:12:24,715
Speaker 1: and this idea that Trump at least is being told

175
00:12:24,795 --> 00:12:29,315
Speaker 1: that he is winning so he can sell them is

176
00:12:30,435 --> 00:12:34,195
Speaker 1: part and parcel of a larger idea to make it

177
00:12:34,275 --> 00:12:39,795
Speaker 1: look to the Trump crazies that they are well ahead

178
00:12:39,835 --> 00:12:44,835
Speaker 1: and having the stolen from them. It would match what

179
00:12:44,915 --> 00:12:48,795
Speaker 1: otherwise would look like the Trump campaign deliberately trying to lose.

180
00:12:49,595 --> 00:12:51,515
Speaker 1: The things that have been done in the last week,

181
00:12:51,595 --> 00:12:56,035
Speaker 1: including with the availability of a little perspective of time,

182
00:12:56,315 --> 00:13:00,795
Speaker 1: including the Madison Square Garden event a week ago Sunday,

183
00:13:01,875 --> 00:13:05,275
Speaker 1: could be attempts simply to gin up that race his base,

184
00:13:07,155 --> 00:13:10,755
Speaker 1: because they continue to pull out all the stops to

185
00:13:10,995 --> 00:13:16,075
Speaker 1: fire up those people, the white supremacists, the white supremacists.

186
00:13:16,115 --> 00:13:18,435
Speaker 1: After all, if you go look at the videotape from

187
00:13:18,515 --> 00:13:21,915
Speaker 1: January sixth, these are the people who being told Trump

188
00:13:21,955 --> 00:13:23,675
Speaker 1: is winning and there has been fraud, and that it

189
00:13:23,675 --> 00:13:26,115
Speaker 1: has been stolen from them. They are the ones most

190
00:13:26,275 --> 00:13:28,835
Speaker 1: likely to have the guns and the most likely to

191
00:13:28,915 --> 00:13:33,555
Speaker 1: have fun storming the castle. Again, remember the other night,

192
00:13:34,555 --> 00:13:39,275
Speaker 1: the attempt to turn garbage into a pro Trump message,

193
00:13:39,355 --> 00:13:42,395
Speaker 1: Trump and the garbage truck, Trump and the garbage man's

194
00:13:42,515 --> 00:13:45,675
Speaker 1: orange outfit, and the previous reference to the blow up

195
00:13:45,755 --> 00:13:53,315
Speaker 1: sex doll Trump garbage force one. In one of those

196
00:13:53,355 --> 00:13:57,315
Speaker 1: speeches in Wisconsin, Trump said Harris even though she didn't

197
00:13:57,315 --> 00:14:00,315
Speaker 1: say it. Biden said it, and he didn't say it.

198
00:14:00,395 --> 00:14:05,115
Speaker 1: He was quoting the guy Tony race Bait, whatever the

199
00:14:05,155 --> 00:14:09,395
Speaker 1: name of the former comedian is. He said it. But

200
00:14:09,555 --> 00:14:13,635
Speaker 1: Trump said Harris had insulted two hundred and fifty million Americans,

201
00:14:13,675 --> 00:14:16,875
Speaker 1: and setting aside the facts of who said what about

202
00:14:16,915 --> 00:14:19,355
Speaker 1: garbage for a moment, where does that number come from?

203
00:14:19,635 --> 00:14:22,635
Speaker 1: Where does two hundred and fifty million Americans come from?

204
00:14:22,715 --> 00:14:25,355
Speaker 1: I mean, even Trump can't get that wrong. That's not

205
00:14:25,475 --> 00:14:28,835
Speaker 1: the population of the United States, and that's not his base,

206
00:14:29,275 --> 00:14:32,675
Speaker 1: that's not his voting total. We are at, depending on

207
00:14:32,715 --> 00:14:36,035
Speaker 1: the count, three hundred and thirty six million or nearly

208
00:14:36,075 --> 00:14:38,355
Speaker 1: so in this country as of the beginning of this year,

209
00:14:38,635 --> 00:14:42,955
Speaker 1: probably three forty five. Now, there were eighty one million

210
00:14:42,995 --> 00:14:46,235
Speaker 1: Biden voters in twenty twenty, seventy four million Trump voters

211
00:14:46,235 --> 00:14:50,035
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, So that's eighty five, one hundred and

212
00:14:50,035 --> 00:14:52,955
Speaker 1: fifty five million. Where does two hundred and fifty million

213
00:14:52,995 --> 00:14:59,475
Speaker 1: come from? Well, sir, per Statista, resident population of the

214
00:14:59,555 --> 00:15:05,755
Speaker 1: United States by race, Black or African American forty five million,

215
00:15:05,795 --> 00:15:09,435
Speaker 1: seven hundred sixty thousand. They have American, Indian, and Alaska,

216
00:15:09,475 --> 00:15:14,475
Speaker 1: and they over here, what's this white two hundred and

217
00:15:14,515 --> 00:15:19,915
Speaker 1: fifty two million, seventy thousand, Why that's a coincidence. Two

218
00:15:19,995 --> 00:15:23,235
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty two million. So Trump was actually being

219
00:15:23,275 --> 00:15:26,115
Speaker 1: conservative when he said she had offended two hundred and

220
00:15:26,115 --> 00:15:32,555
Speaker 1: fifty million people. He means white people. He means racist

221
00:15:32,555 --> 00:15:35,555
Speaker 1: white people. And thank god, it's not two hundred and

222
00:15:35,555 --> 00:15:40,715
Speaker 1: fifty million racist white people. But there's a lot. I

223
00:15:40,715 --> 00:15:44,035
Speaker 1: don't know if you'd noticed that. Now, the two hundred

224
00:15:44,075 --> 00:15:48,235
Speaker 1: and fifty two million in the Statista number includes and

225
00:15:48,315 --> 00:15:50,835
Speaker 1: this is a clunky and if it is an offensive term,

226
00:15:50,915 --> 00:15:53,915
Speaker 1: and I would think it would be, I apologize. You

227
00:15:54,035 --> 00:15:59,795
Speaker 1: know what is meant by this white Hispanics, non African Hispanics,

228
00:15:59,915 --> 00:16:09,115
Speaker 1: Hispanic African Americans. That's the number. It's Caucasians plus white Latinos,

229
00:16:09,515 --> 00:16:12,835
Speaker 1: and you get the point. The point is the number,

230
00:16:13,555 --> 00:16:16,075
Speaker 1: and Trump thinks he's got them, and so Trump is

231
00:16:16,155 --> 00:16:20,835
Speaker 1: referencing them as America and everybody else can go to hell.

232
00:16:20,955 --> 00:16:23,555
Speaker 1: Two hundred and fifty million Americans and the rest of

233
00:16:23,595 --> 00:16:28,675
Speaker 1: you are sol Now, it is possible he's just being

234
00:16:28,755 --> 00:16:31,995
Speaker 1: fed what he wants to hear by his handlers, just

235
00:16:32,075 --> 00:16:35,435
Speaker 1: as his voters are being fed what they want to hear.

236
00:16:36,035 --> 00:16:38,515
Speaker 1: I would never use the term victim when it comes

237
00:16:38,515 --> 00:16:42,635
Speaker 1: to Trump, but it is clearly possible that he has

238
00:16:42,715 --> 00:16:46,635
Speaker 1: long since lost the ability to process this or lead

239
00:16:46,795 --> 00:16:50,635
Speaker 1: this campaign, and he is simply being fed material by

240
00:16:50,715 --> 00:16:54,115
Speaker 1: the Stephen Millers and this guy from the beginning here

241
00:16:55,035 --> 00:16:59,995
Speaker 1: that was this name, Tony the polster. Fabrizio smells bad

242
00:17:00,035 --> 00:17:04,475
Speaker 1: in here sprits some Fabrizio around the room. It is

243
00:17:05,595 --> 00:17:13,195
Speaker 1: either Trump's last again wrong term, intellectual gasp, or it's

244
00:17:13,195 --> 00:17:17,035
Speaker 1: being what he is being told. But clearly he has

245
00:17:17,115 --> 00:17:21,235
Speaker 1: been told go heavy on the whole white people thing,

246
00:17:22,195 --> 00:17:26,235
Speaker 1: especially the white males. So now we have attack the

247
00:17:26,315 --> 00:17:32,275
Speaker 1: minorities even more like the other Tony at Madison Square Garden.

248
00:17:32,555 --> 00:17:36,715
Speaker 1: And don't forget to attack women, because women, as we

249
00:17:36,835 --> 00:17:39,995
Speaker 1: keep hearing, women who don't vote the way their husbands

250
00:17:40,075 --> 00:17:43,675
Speaker 1: tell them to, are going to hell. That message has

251
00:17:43,755 --> 00:17:48,755
Speaker 1: been pushed through forout the last week. But so go

252
00:17:48,835 --> 00:17:55,075
Speaker 1: after the independent women and say extraordinary things like He's

253
00:17:55,115 --> 00:17:58,795
Speaker 1: going to protect women whether they like it or not,

254
00:18:00,195 --> 00:18:04,035
Speaker 1: whether they like it or not, whether they like it

255
00:18:04,155 --> 00:18:07,795
Speaker 1: or not, women, whether they like it or not. Why

256
00:18:08,675 --> 00:18:11,275
Speaker 1: that sounds like what a rapist might say.

257
00:18:11,395 --> 00:18:13,195
Speaker 2: I want to protect the people. I want to protect

258
00:18:13,235 --> 00:18:15,835
Speaker 2: the women of our country. I want to protect the women. Sir,

259
00:18:16,235 --> 00:18:19,075
Speaker 2: Please don't say that. Why they said, we think it's

260
00:18:20,075 --> 00:18:22,355
Speaker 2: We think it's very inappropriate for you to say. So

261
00:18:22,755 --> 00:18:24,755
Speaker 2: I'm going to do it, whether the women like it

262
00:18:24,875 --> 00:18:26,315
Speaker 2: or not, I'm going to protect them.

263
00:18:26,555 --> 00:18:34,275
Speaker 3: I will comment on the former President Donald Trump's remark

264
00:18:34,555 --> 00:18:40,755
Speaker 3: about women and whether they like it or not, and listen,

265
00:18:40,915 --> 00:18:45,115
Speaker 3: it's just it actually is, I think very offensive to

266
00:18:45,395 --> 00:18:49,275
Speaker 3: women in terms of not understanding their agency, their authority,

267
00:18:49,595 --> 00:18:52,835
Speaker 3: their right, and their ability to make decisions about their

268
00:18:52,875 --> 00:18:56,515
Speaker 3: own lives, including their own bodies. And this is just

269
00:18:56,595 --> 00:19:00,995
Speaker 3: the latest on a series of reveals by the former

270
00:19:01,035 --> 00:19:02,555
Speaker 3: president of how he thinks about.

271
00:19:02,315 --> 00:19:06,475
Speaker 1: Women, whether they like it or not. That would fit

272
00:19:06,515 --> 00:19:10,715
Speaker 1: in with the entirety of Donald Trump's life on this earth. Now,

273
00:19:10,755 --> 00:19:13,115
Speaker 1: they have not given up on getting women to vote

274
00:19:13,155 --> 00:19:17,235
Speaker 1: for him. Trump's ads, particularly the ones that ran during

275
00:19:17,275 --> 00:19:18,995
Speaker 1: the World Series, and I'd like to point out that

276
00:19:19,035 --> 00:19:21,755
Speaker 1: the increased ratings in the World Series were largely due

277
00:19:21,795 --> 00:19:24,835
Speaker 1: to the fact that viewers in New York and California

278
00:19:24,875 --> 00:19:28,915
Speaker 1: were watching two of the bluest states there are, so

279
00:19:29,115 --> 00:19:32,475
Speaker 1: any Trump ad being shown to the large audience in

280
00:19:32,635 --> 00:19:37,115
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York City. Total waste of money.

281
00:19:37,515 --> 00:19:41,635
Speaker 1: But all of those ads were about women needing to

282
00:19:41,675 --> 00:19:46,475
Speaker 1: be afraid of minority men, especially immigrants. And just in

283
00:19:46,515 --> 00:19:49,195
Speaker 1: case you missed the point and it was too subtle

284
00:19:49,235 --> 00:19:52,235
Speaker 1: for you, with the bunch of old ladies sitting around

285
00:19:52,315 --> 00:19:54,835
Speaker 1: the diner saying they were spat on while taking their

286
00:19:54,915 --> 00:19:59,795
Speaker 1: dog for a walk, Rudy Giuliani decided enough of this

287
00:19:59,995 --> 00:20:03,195
Speaker 1: subtlety and nuance. I'm just going to come out and

288
00:20:03,275 --> 00:20:09,115
Speaker 1: get this close to use the terms bunny and jungle

289
00:20:09,715 --> 00:20:14,355
Speaker 1: in the same sentence. The years ago, they just.

290
00:20:14,315 --> 00:20:16,395
Speaker 2: Shouldn't have been taken out of the jungle and placed

291
00:20:16,395 --> 00:20:19,075
Speaker 2: in the middle of a small town America.

292
00:20:19,155 --> 00:20:22,475
Speaker 1: That's ridiculous, or be town America for that matter. There

293
00:20:22,595 --> 00:20:26,395
Speaker 1: is still time to bet on whether Trump or one

294
00:20:26,395 --> 00:20:34,195
Speaker 1: of his surrogates drops the N word before Tuesday. I mean, Rudy, Jungle,

295
00:20:35,515 --> 00:20:42,755
Speaker 1: You're so close, you're getting there. Rudy's back, baby. More

296
00:20:42,795 --> 00:20:47,115
Speaker 1: signs they're trying to gin up outrage, any outrage. You

297
00:20:47,155 --> 00:20:52,355
Speaker 1: may recall the plan to immunize the police. Policeman shoots

298
00:20:52,355 --> 00:20:55,715
Speaker 1: some innocent bystander up. You can't prosecute him, you can't

299
00:20:55,795 --> 00:20:58,115
Speaker 1: sue him, you can't fire him. And who does he

300
00:20:58,155 --> 00:21:00,915
Speaker 1: have to thank for that? Donald Trump? Therefore, who does

301
00:21:00,995 --> 00:21:04,955
Speaker 1: every policeman in the country work for? Donald Trump now

302
00:21:05,875 --> 00:21:09,235
Speaker 1: plans once again to take over the police force by

303
00:21:09,875 --> 00:21:17,555
Speaker 1: defunding the police as Trump protests correction, as Trump promises

304
00:21:18,075 --> 00:21:21,915
Speaker 1: the largest mass deportation of undocumented immigrants in US history

305
00:21:22,195 --> 00:21:25,795
Speaker 1: if re elected, his team is considering withholding federal police

306
00:21:25,835 --> 00:21:29,435
Speaker 1: grants from local law enforcement agencies that decline to take

307
00:21:29,515 --> 00:21:33,195
Speaker 1: part in the deportations. Three sources close to the Trump

308
00:21:33,235 --> 00:21:38,155
Speaker 1: campaign told NBC News tried it last time. But the

309
00:21:38,235 --> 00:21:41,955
Speaker 1: point is, if the cops are immunized and they see

310
00:21:41,955 --> 00:21:44,995
Speaker 1: there's no funding, and they work for Trump and the

311
00:21:45,035 --> 00:21:49,515
Speaker 1: cities try to stop the mass deportation and killing of

312
00:21:49,675 --> 00:21:53,955
Speaker 1: immigrants and people who will defend them, why the cops

313
00:21:53,955 --> 00:21:57,675
Speaker 1: can then turn around and be used against the leaders

314
00:21:57,915 --> 00:22:01,675
Speaker 1: of the local cities. So, for instance, here in New York,

315
00:22:02,035 --> 00:22:07,435
Speaker 1: immunized conservative cops in this city who live on Long

316
00:22:07,475 --> 00:22:10,835
Speaker 1: Island for the most part, or Staten Island, could be

317
00:22:10,995 --> 00:22:14,675
Speaker 1: used to arrest Mayor Eric Adams. And what a miscarriage

318
00:22:14,715 --> 00:22:18,555
Speaker 1: of wait A minute. I'll get back to you on

319
00:22:18,555 --> 00:22:25,075
Speaker 1: that idea. More comically, the website Red State, which may

320
00:22:25,115 --> 00:22:28,195
Speaker 1: be bought by the Onion simply because the content on

321
00:22:28,275 --> 00:22:32,035
Speaker 1: red State is far more satirically funny than even the

322
00:22:32,035 --> 00:22:35,395
Speaker 1: best of the revivified Onion. Plus, if they merged, it

323
00:22:35,395 --> 00:22:40,595
Speaker 1: would be the Red Onion breaking another Mike Allen scoop

324
00:22:40,635 --> 00:22:42,835
Speaker 1: at Red State. Oh no, he doesn't work there for

325
00:22:42,915 --> 00:22:48,635
Speaker 1: the moment breaking. Trump sues CBS News for gigantic sum

326
00:22:49,075 --> 00:22:52,635
Speaker 1: over sixty minutes fiasco. Well, I don't know. I got

327
00:22:52,635 --> 00:22:56,835
Speaker 1: a story coming up later about Russia suing Google for

328
00:22:56,915 --> 00:23:00,115
Speaker 1: more money than there is in the world. Trump sues

329
00:23:00,115 --> 00:23:04,075
Speaker 1: CBS News for gigantic sum over sixty minutes fiasco. It

330
00:23:04,155 --> 00:23:07,115
Speaker 1: was the journalism fail heard round the world. Well, no,

331
00:23:07,155 --> 00:23:10,675
Speaker 1: it was on CBS. CBS News is long running show

332
00:23:10,715 --> 00:23:15,835
Speaker 1: sixty minutes. Interview Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harrison early October,

333
00:23:15,915 --> 00:23:18,595
Speaker 1: but presented two different versions of her answering a question

334
00:23:18,635 --> 00:23:21,235
Speaker 1: about Israel. Clearly one of those answers had to be

335
00:23:21,315 --> 00:23:28,635
Speaker 1: deceptively edited. Clearly, some overwork bastard in the edit room

336
00:23:29,075 --> 00:23:31,595
Speaker 1: put the wrong answer with the wrong cutaway of the

337
00:23:31,595 --> 00:23:35,235
Speaker 1: wrong question. I don't know how many times I saw

338
00:23:35,275 --> 00:23:37,355
Speaker 1: this happen. I don't know how many times I saw

339
00:23:37,395 --> 00:23:41,275
Speaker 1: it happen at my college radio station. Now Trump is

340
00:23:41,315 --> 00:23:45,235
Speaker 1: taking action and suing the network for a staggering ten

341
00:23:45,435 --> 00:23:50,115
Speaker 1: billion dollars in damages, stating the network practiced deceptive conduct

342
00:23:50,355 --> 00:23:53,515
Speaker 1: for the purpose of election interference. In its interview with

343
00:23:53,595 --> 00:23:58,475
Speaker 1: Vice President Kamala Hears, Trump attorney said the complaint comes

344
00:23:58,555 --> 00:24:02,795
Speaker 1: due to CBS's partisan and unlawful acts of election and

345
00:24:02,875 --> 00:24:07,995
Speaker 1: voter interference through malicious, deceptive, and substantial news distortion calculated

346
00:24:08,035 --> 00:24:13,835
Speaker 1: to confuse, deceive, and mislead the public. Confuse, deceive, and

347
00:24:13,875 --> 00:24:15,875
Speaker 1: mislead the public. Isn't it the motto of the Trump

348
00:24:15,915 --> 00:24:22,275
Speaker 1: campaign translated into into pig Latin. Trump attorneys also argue

349
00:24:22,275 --> 00:24:24,835
Speaker 1: the edits were done in an effort to attempt to

350
00:24:24,875 --> 00:24:29,635
Speaker 1: tip the scales in favor of the Democratic Party. Wait

351
00:24:29,675 --> 00:24:32,475
Speaker 1: a minute, somebody wrote democratic instead of Democrat. Fire him.

352
00:24:33,195 --> 00:24:36,955
Speaker 1: As the heated twenty twenty four presidential election, which President

353
00:24:36,955 --> 00:24:42,275
Speaker 1: Trump is leading, approaches its conclusion, and what was the

354
00:24:42,275 --> 00:24:45,915
Speaker 1: reaction to this at CBS and CBS News. Well, of

355
00:24:45,995 --> 00:24:49,235
Speaker 1: course they were delighted because this is the first time

356
00:24:49,275 --> 00:24:51,715
Speaker 1: anybody has suggested that there were enough people watching to

357
00:24:51,795 --> 00:25:00,955
Speaker 1: influence the election. Ooh, also of interest here, thank you

358

Speaker 1: for your kind words about my rescue pup be Kit

359
00:25:05,435 --> 00:25:08,355
Speaker 1: and the changes that I am going to enact in

360
00:25:08,435 --> 00:25:11,315
Speaker 1: this As you may have heard, for principally now the

361
00:25:11,355 --> 00:25:14,795
Speaker 1: script is ad libbed. The promotional efforts for this podcast

362
00:25:14,875 --> 00:25:17,435
Speaker 1: are down to a minimum because I want to spend

363
00:25:17,515 --> 00:25:19,515
Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks with Kit before he has

364
00:25:19,555 --> 00:25:22,115
Speaker 1: his surgery, which has now been scheduled. We've gotten an

365
00:25:22,155 --> 00:25:25,395
Speaker 1: extraordinary surgeon to do it, and the situation is much

366
00:25:25,395 --> 00:25:28,155
Speaker 1: more hopeful today than it was yesterday. And thank you

367
00:25:28,235 --> 00:25:31,675
Speaker 1: for the kind messages of support and the prayers. And

368
00:25:31,795 --> 00:25:34,595
Speaker 1: Kit continues to scratch me in the face just to

369
00:25:34,635 --> 00:25:41,355
Speaker 1: say hello. I'll keep you updated on Kit and still

370
00:25:41,395 --> 00:25:45,835
Speaker 1: ahead of us here. In Worse Persons one of my

371
00:25:45,995 --> 00:25:51,075
Speaker 1: favorite Worst Persons stories in years, One of my favorite

372
00:25:51,555 --> 00:25:59,715
Speaker 1: in years. It's not only ridiculous, stupid, nonsensical, hilarious, but

373
00:25:59,835 --> 00:26:05,555
Speaker 1: it involves Tucker Carlson. Tuck Kerk Carlson and says he's

374
00:26:05,595 --> 00:26:10,595
Speaker 1: been mauled in his sleep by demon monochronk guy at

375
00:26:10,675 --> 00:26:16,875
Speaker 1: CBS News. That's next this has come down. This is

376
00:26:16,955 --> 00:26:42,595
Speaker 1: countdown with Keith Olberman still ahead on this ediative countdown.

377
00:26:42,635 --> 00:26:44,995
Speaker 1: If this is the last weekend before the election, there

378
00:26:45,035 --> 00:26:48,395
Speaker 1: can be only one Thurber with which to leave you,

379
00:26:49,475 --> 00:26:54,915
Speaker 1: the one where he saw the Advent of Trump, which

380
00:26:54,955 --> 00:27:00,315
Speaker 1: he wrote in nineteen thirty one. The ending is the

381
00:27:00,315 --> 00:27:03,835
Speaker 1: best part. First, there are still more new idiots to

382
00:27:03,875 --> 00:27:06,355
Speaker 1: talk about. The day roundup of the miss Grants, morons

383
00:27:06,355 --> 00:27:11,915
Speaker 1: and Dunning Krueger effect specimens who constitute today's worst persons

384
00:27:11,915 --> 00:27:16,275
Speaker 1: in the world. The bronze the worst the government of Russia.

385
00:27:16,515 --> 00:27:21,755
Speaker 1: This is an epic headline from BBC News. Russia finds

386
00:27:21,955 --> 00:27:26,835
Speaker 1: Google more money than there is in the entire world.

387
00:27:28,555 --> 00:27:32,475
Speaker 1: Russia media outlet RBC reports the fine on Google relates

388
00:27:32,475 --> 00:27:37,315
Speaker 1: to the restriction of content of seventeen Russian media channels

389
00:27:37,635 --> 00:27:45,475
Speaker 1: on YouTube. A Russian court has fined Google two Undiscillian

390
00:27:45,795 --> 00:27:51,475
Speaker 1: rubles that's a two, followed by thirty six zeros for

391
00:27:51,635 --> 00:27:57,875
Speaker 1: restricting Russian state propaganda channels. In dollar terms, that means

392
00:27:57,995 --> 00:28:04,355
Speaker 1: Google owes the government of Russia twenty commas zero zero

393
00:28:04,435 --> 00:28:09,715
Speaker 1: zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero

394
00:28:10,435 --> 00:28:15,635
Speaker 1: zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero

395
00:28:15,795 --> 00:28:21,475
Speaker 1: zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero

396
00:28:21,795 --> 00:28:27,835
Speaker 1: zero dollars and ninety eight cents I made up the

397
00:28:27,915 --> 00:28:31,555
Speaker 1: last part that is much more. According to the International

398
00:28:31,595 --> 00:28:36,115
Speaker 1: Monetary Fund, then there is money in the entire world's

399
00:28:36,315 --> 00:28:41,635
Speaker 1: gross domestic product, which is allegedly, according to the IMF,

400
00:28:41,835 --> 00:28:45,715
Speaker 1: the Impossible Missions Force, one hundred and ten trillion dollars

401
00:28:46,195 --> 00:28:48,355
Speaker 1: as in a sign, how come every time we refer

402
00:28:48,475 --> 00:28:51,435
Speaker 1: to and they do it on the business channels hourly,

403
00:28:51,715 --> 00:28:55,715
Speaker 1: the International Monetary Fund, the IMF, how come nobody ever says,

404
00:28:55,835 --> 00:28:58,875
Speaker 1: what about Peter Graves and the Impossible Mission Force? If

405
00:28:58,915 --> 00:29:03,955
Speaker 1: you decide to accept this, Greg Morris will explode. The

406
00:29:04,035 --> 00:29:07,915
Speaker 1: fine has reach these gargantuan levels, according to the BBC,

407
00:29:08,795 --> 00:29:12,595
Speaker 1: quoting Tasks the Soviet News Agency, which is somehow still

408
00:29:12,635 --> 00:29:17,915
Speaker 1: in business. It's because it rapidly increases all the time,

409
00:29:17,955 --> 00:29:22,395
Speaker 1: because it doubles every day, and it's been doubling every

410
00:29:22,475 --> 00:29:25,435
Speaker 1: day since the year twenty twenty. According to Task, the

411
00:29:25,515 --> 00:29:30,195
Speaker 1: Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Preskoff admitted that he cannot even pronounce

412
00:29:30,235 --> 00:29:33,835
Speaker 1: this number. Well, of course, if that's the definition of

413
00:29:33,835 --> 00:29:36,395
Speaker 1: a lot, there's an awful lot of things that Dmitri

414
00:29:36,475 --> 00:29:40,555
Speaker 1: Preskoff and the Russian government can't pronounce. Google management should

415
00:29:40,555 --> 00:29:45,715
Speaker 1: pay attention. So it's more money than there is in

416
00:29:45,755 --> 00:29:50,675
Speaker 1: the entire world. Two undecillion rubles. Now. The bad news

417
00:29:50,715 --> 00:29:54,715
Speaker 1: for Russia is, of course, that's how much Trump owes

418
00:29:54,755 --> 00:30:00,435
Speaker 1: it too. Runner up worser Elon Musk. If you haven't

419
00:30:00,475 --> 00:30:04,395
Speaker 1: noticed this, Elon Musk has gone full Nazi. There's a

420
00:30:04,715 --> 00:30:09,155
Speaker 1: le Nazi account called im yes you are no that

421
00:30:09,275 --> 00:30:12,075
Speaker 1: wrote we live in a society of double standards and

422
00:30:12,315 --> 00:30:17,275
Speaker 1: posted wiki entries for black pride and white pride, indicating

423
00:30:17,315 --> 00:30:19,675
Speaker 1: that black pride is a good thing and white pride

424
00:30:19,835 --> 00:30:27,315
Speaker 1: is you know. Musk answered this to his whatever two

425
00:30:27,355 --> 00:30:30,195
Speaker 1: hundred million followers, what was the number in the Russian case?

426
00:30:30,715 --> 00:30:37,235
Speaker 1: To undecillion replies? Is the Anti Defamation League still pushing

427
00:30:37,275 --> 00:30:42,715
Speaker 1: this too? Hello anti Semitism. You can take the South

428
00:30:42,795 --> 00:30:48,035
Speaker 1: African drugged up intellectual thief out of the apartheid state,

429
00:30:48,675 --> 00:30:51,915
Speaker 1: but you can't take the apartheid state out of the

430
00:30:51,955 --> 00:30:56,355
Speaker 1: South African drugged up intellectual thief. The good news, though,

431
00:30:56,475 --> 00:31:01,355
Speaker 1: is Musk has bought a compound in Texas for his

432
00:31:01,475 --> 00:31:05,035
Speaker 1: various women and children, so he's going the full David

433
00:31:05,115 --> 00:31:10,675
Speaker 1: Koresh evidently, So get those tanks ready, everybody. I'm telling

434
00:31:10,715 --> 00:31:13,435
Speaker 1: you this is just a piece of advice from an

435
00:31:13,475 --> 00:31:17,235
Speaker 1: old man. Put him out of business. I'm not saying

436
00:31:17,275 --> 00:31:21,675
Speaker 1: harm him. I'm just saying, remove him from our society

437
00:31:21,795 --> 00:31:25,115
Speaker 1: as quickly as we can. Or one day he's going

438
00:31:25,155 --> 00:31:28,395
Speaker 1: to press a button somewhere and all of his self

439
00:31:28,515 --> 00:31:33,915
Speaker 1: driving cars will attack us. Actually, what harm would that

440
00:31:33,995 --> 00:31:36,435
Speaker 1: do if he pressed a button for all the self

441
00:31:36,555 --> 00:31:41,875
Speaker 1: driving cars to do anything? They just stall out or explode.

442
00:31:42,515 --> 00:31:46,115
Speaker 1: The winner though the worst. Speaking of Elon Musk, speaking

443
00:31:46,115 --> 00:31:53,195
Speaker 1: of Donald Trump, speaking of Russia. Tucker Carlson. He went

444
00:31:53,235 --> 00:31:57,195
Speaker 1: on a podcast called Christianities. I believe this is a

445
00:31:57,235 --> 00:32:01,595
Speaker 1: combination of the term christian and inanity, although they don't

446
00:32:01,635 --> 00:32:05,675
Speaker 1: realize that perhaps the subject was good good versus evil.

447
00:32:05,715 --> 00:32:10,275
Speaker 1: There is a conservative writer named Rod Dreyer who says, yeah,

448
00:32:10,275 --> 00:32:14,675
Speaker 1: this is all true. Carlson told this story a year ago. That,

449
00:32:14,755 --> 00:32:16,915
Speaker 1: of course, is about the time that Carlson began to

450
00:32:16,995 --> 00:32:20,635
Speaker 1: fully lose his mind. And also those pains began and

451
00:32:20,675 --> 00:32:23,555
Speaker 1: the mark started showing up on his body. You think

452
00:32:23,555 --> 00:32:25,915
Speaker 1: I'm kidding about that, Let me just read you some

453
00:32:25,995 --> 00:32:28,075
Speaker 1: of this. After all, this, he said he had an

454
00:32:28,235 --> 00:32:32,635
Speaker 1: urge to read the Bible. Asked about good versus evil

455
00:32:32,635 --> 00:32:34,995
Speaker 1: and the manifestations of evil in society by the host,

456
00:32:35,115 --> 00:32:40,035
Speaker 1: mister religious psychopath of the day, I had a direct

457
00:32:40,075 --> 00:32:44,555
Speaker 1: experience with it. Tucker Carlson says, in the milieu of journalism,

458
00:32:44,635 --> 00:32:50,035
Speaker 1: He's asked, who says milieu, there's a guy wearing a

459
00:32:50,115 --> 00:32:54,355
Speaker 1: monocle when he said this in the milieu of journalism, No,

460
00:32:54,955 --> 00:32:58,275
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson answers, in my bed at night, and I

461
00:32:58,355 --> 00:33:01,595
Speaker 1: got attacked while I was asleep with my wife and

462
00:33:01,675 --> 00:33:08,555
Speaker 1: four dogs and mauled physically. I'm just gonna as a

463
00:33:08,555 --> 00:33:11,995
Speaker 1: as an aside, step aside here and just ask if

464
00:33:12,035 --> 00:33:16,635
Speaker 1: you woke up mauled in your bed at night by

465
00:33:18,275 --> 00:33:21,515
Speaker 1: evidently some sort of outside force. That's your first conclusion.

466
00:33:21,555 --> 00:33:26,795
Speaker 1: It's by some sort of spiritual evil, and your wife

467
00:33:26,835 --> 00:33:28,715
Speaker 1: and your four dogs are there. I mean, I have

468
00:33:28,795 --> 00:33:33,555
Speaker 1: four dogs and occasionally I'm joined by well, wife is

469
00:33:33,595 --> 00:33:38,075
Speaker 1: too strong a term. I'm occasionally joined, and and if

470
00:33:38,075 --> 00:33:42,075
Speaker 1: I woke up mauled, I would suspect one of them.

471
00:33:42,235 --> 00:33:44,315
Speaker 1: Some of the past, some of the exes, I would

472
00:33:44,355 --> 00:33:46,715
Speaker 1: suspect them first. Some of the dogs, I would suspect

473
00:33:46,755 --> 00:33:50,515
Speaker 1: them first too. I mean little kid, who I love

474
00:33:50,595 --> 00:33:54,915
Speaker 1: and and and as you know, changing the format of

475
00:33:54,915 --> 00:33:59,555
Speaker 1: this podcast for little kid likes to throw hands. Little

476
00:33:59,635 --> 00:34:01,755
Speaker 1: kid comes over and gives me kisses and then punches

477
00:34:01,795 --> 00:34:04,515
Speaker 1: me in the face. And he's pretty good at it too.

478
00:34:04,715 --> 00:34:07,195
Speaker 1: He's got a good left and right. So I'm just saying,

479
00:34:07,235 --> 00:34:10,315
Speaker 1: if you wound up whoever you are, if you wound

480
00:34:10,355 --> 00:34:13,755
Speaker 1: up in the middle of the night, where you got

481
00:34:13,915 --> 00:34:17,955
Speaker 1: mauled with scratches all over your body, particularly if you're

482
00:34:17,995 --> 00:34:23,475
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson, I'm suspecting the wife. So anyway, the host

483
00:34:23,555 --> 00:34:27,275
Speaker 1: asks in a spiritual attack by a demon, and his

484
00:34:27,395 --> 00:34:30,635
Speaker 1: monocle pops out as he asked that question. Yeah, Tucker,

485
00:34:30,635 --> 00:34:35,155
Speaker 1: Carlson says, by a demon or by something unseen that

486
00:34:35,355 --> 00:34:41,115
Speaker 1: left claw marks on my sides. The guy says, so

487
00:34:41,155 --> 00:34:44,475
Speaker 1: it left physical marks, and the monocle pops back in.

488
00:34:45,515 --> 00:34:48,195
Speaker 1: Carlson says, oh, oh they're still there. Yeah, yeah, a

489
00:34:48,275 --> 00:34:49,835
Speaker 1: year and a half ago. All right, I like that.

490
00:34:51,235 --> 00:34:57,395
Speaker 1: So you got cut up by your wife, probably maybe

491
00:34:57,435 --> 00:35:00,315
Speaker 1: in her sleep, just as a manifestation of her frustration

492
00:35:00,355 --> 00:35:02,555
Speaker 1: all these years to being married to one of the

493
00:35:02,595 --> 00:35:06,515
Speaker 1: biggest assholes in human history, or by one of the dogs,

494
00:35:06,715 --> 00:35:10,395
Speaker 1: because dogs know good people versus bad people. And I'm

495
00:35:10,395 --> 00:35:13,155
Speaker 1: honestly surprised he's got four dogs and they haven't killed

496
00:35:13,195 --> 00:35:16,275
Speaker 1: him and eaten him yet. Every once in a while,

497
00:35:16,355 --> 00:35:18,395
Speaker 1: my dogs look at me and go, well, we think

498
00:35:18,395 --> 00:35:21,915
Speaker 1: you're a good guy. But we have had meetings about this,

499
00:35:24,235 --> 00:35:28,435
Speaker 1: and there's still physical marks. Tucker Carlson is still has

500
00:35:28,475 --> 00:35:31,955
Speaker 1: got physical marks that were inflicted a year and a

501
00:35:31,995 --> 00:35:36,035
Speaker 1: half ago, and he hasn't like like seen and bought

502
00:35:36,115 --> 00:35:39,155
Speaker 1: some bac teene and put it on there, some neosporin,

503
00:35:39,995 --> 00:35:42,795
Speaker 1: a couple of band aids. I mean, I worked in

504
00:35:42,875 --> 00:35:45,595
Speaker 1: the same place with Tucker Carlson for nearly three years,

505
00:35:45,995 --> 00:35:50,995
Speaker 1: and he is legitimately that great gap between what you

506
00:35:51,115 --> 00:35:53,635
Speaker 1: think your IQ is and what it really is. His

507
00:35:53,795 --> 00:35:56,675
Speaker 1: might be as large as Trump's. He believes his IQ

508
00:35:56,875 --> 00:35:59,675
Speaker 1: is up around two hundred, it's actually closer to two.

509
00:36:01,075 --> 00:36:06,955
Speaker 1: There is no more self satisfied, self convinced, never doubting

510
00:36:07,155 --> 00:36:09,515
Speaker 1: person in the history of the world. Go back and

511
00:36:09,555 --> 00:36:12,275
Speaker 1: look at the interview with John Stewart, who I also

512
00:36:12,355 --> 00:36:15,035
Speaker 1: do not support. Go back and look at John Stewart

513
00:36:15,035 --> 00:36:20,275
Speaker 1: interview on CNN's Crossfire years ago, where John Stewart canceled

514
00:36:20,315 --> 00:36:24,035
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson and the show Crossfire by saying what damage

515
00:36:24,075 --> 00:36:26,915
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson was doing to society? And it's not until

516
00:36:26,915 --> 00:36:30,355
Speaker 1: the very last moment after John Stewart has left a

517
00:36:30,395 --> 00:36:33,915
Speaker 1: series of marks on Tucker Carlson's side, until the last

518
00:36:34,035 --> 00:36:37,955
Speaker 1: moment that Carlson realizes he's being cut up and left

519
00:36:38,115 --> 00:36:45,235
Speaker 1: for roadkill and start, I'm not joking the early version

520
00:36:45,275 --> 00:36:52,795
Speaker 1: of the psychonic laugh. That's him, Tucker Carlson. Maybe John

521
00:36:52,875 --> 00:36:54,995
Speaker 1: Stewart left these marks in the middle of the night,

522
00:36:56,235 --> 00:36:58,075
Speaker 1: although he would have filmed it and run it and

523
00:36:58,115 --> 00:37:02,155
Speaker 1: then said I'm really good. Okay, back to the conversation

524
00:37:02,635 --> 00:37:07,155
Speaker 1: on Christianity. Oh they're still there. Yeah, yeah, year and

525
00:37:07,195 --> 00:37:11,995
Speaker 1: a half ago, the interlocutor says, was your wife terrified?

526
00:37:12,035 --> 00:37:17,435
Speaker 1: I know you were. I wasn't. I was totally confused,

527
00:37:18,635 --> 00:37:21,475
Speaker 1: like that's an uncommon feeling. I woke up and I

528
00:37:21,515 --> 00:37:23,755
Speaker 1: couldn't breathe, and I thought I was going to suffocate,

529
00:37:24,035 --> 00:37:26,915
Speaker 1: and I walked around outside and then I walked in

530
00:37:26,955 --> 00:37:29,635
Speaker 1: and my wife and dogs had not woken up, and

531
00:37:29,675 --> 00:37:32,995
Speaker 1: they're very light sleepers. And then I had these terrible

532
00:37:33,075 --> 00:37:36,315
Speaker 1: pains on my rib cage and on my shoulder, and

533
00:37:36,355 --> 00:37:39,315
Speaker 1: I was just in my boxer shorts, and I went

534
00:37:39,395 --> 00:37:41,355
Speaker 1: and flipped on the light in the bathroom and I

535
00:37:41,395 --> 00:37:45,315
Speaker 1: had four claw marks on either side, underneath my arms

536
00:37:45,555 --> 00:37:49,355
Speaker 1: and on my left shoulder and they're bleeding. Well, this

537
00:37:49,475 --> 00:37:50,475
Speaker 1: alarm's monocle.

538
00:37:50,515 --> 00:37:50,755
Speaker 2: Boy.

539
00:37:51,595 --> 00:37:57,115
Speaker 1: Wait, they were bleeding, Carlson says they were bleeding. Yeah,

540
00:37:57,635 --> 00:38:00,475
Speaker 1: no actual claw marks. And I sleep on my side,

541
00:38:00,515 --> 00:38:04,195
Speaker 1: so I wasn't clawing myself. Again, I'm going to step

542
00:38:04,195 --> 00:38:08,115
Speaker 1: aside from quote to ask this question. You wake up

543
00:38:09,155 --> 00:38:14,515
Speaker 1: suddenly apparently not feeling anything, no pain, no attack, no

544
00:38:14,595 --> 00:38:18,835
Speaker 1: presence of any other force living dead or trump in

545
00:38:18,915 --> 00:38:22,555
Speaker 1: the room. You feel nothing, and suddenly you wake up

546
00:38:22,555 --> 00:38:25,635
Speaker 1: and you're bleeding from claw marks on the sides. And

547
00:38:25,795 --> 00:38:30,155
Speaker 1: your first thought is to say, have I been clawing myself?

548
00:38:31,035 --> 00:38:36,555
Speaker 1: Because of course everybody sleeps like that, dragging somehow, razors,

549
00:38:36,555 --> 00:38:42,555
Speaker 1: sharp fingernails, or I don't know, gardening tools against your

550
00:38:42,635 --> 00:38:46,275
Speaker 1: rip cage while you sleep, because that's perfectly normal. And actually,

551
00:38:46,315 --> 00:38:48,555
Speaker 1: the more I think about it, I think maybe I

552
00:38:48,595 --> 00:38:51,315
Speaker 1: heard something like that with Tucker Carlson, that he keeps

553
00:38:51,315 --> 00:38:54,115
Speaker 1: gardening tools in bed with him and claws himself every night.

554
00:38:54,995 --> 00:38:58,355
Speaker 1: I don't have long nails and they didn't fit my

555
00:38:58,475 --> 00:39:00,755
Speaker 1: hands anyway. Well, there it is. That must be the

556
00:39:00,795 --> 00:39:05,955
Speaker 1: reference to the gardening tools and the claw marks. The

557
00:39:05,995 --> 00:39:08,315
Speaker 1: first thing he did. The first thing he did was

558
00:39:08,395 --> 00:39:11,115
Speaker 1: check to see if he had done this to himself

559
00:39:11,955 --> 00:39:21,035
Speaker 1: in an unconscious attempt to literally kill himself painfully. If

560
00:39:21,035 --> 00:39:23,755
Speaker 1: this lasts for more than three hours, see your physician.

561
00:39:24,915 --> 00:39:36,115
Speaker 1: But yeah, Tucker Carlson concludes, that happened. Tucker, you think

562
00:39:36,155 --> 00:39:45,555
Speaker 1: that was demons? No, that was that was me, Tucker Carlson,

563
00:39:45,675 --> 00:39:59,395
Speaker 1: Today's worst president in the world. Sit back and relax

564
00:40:00,755 --> 00:40:05,235
Speaker 1: it relaxes the right word for it for the greatest

565
00:40:05,275 --> 00:40:11,635
Speaker 1: man in the world by James Thurber. Looking back on

566
00:40:11,755 --> 00:40:14,515
Speaker 1: it now from the vantage point of nineteen forty, one

567
00:40:14,555 --> 00:40:17,075
Speaker 1: can only marvel that it had not happened. Long before

568
00:40:17,115 --> 00:40:20,635
Speaker 1: it did. The United States of America had been ever

569
00:40:20,675 --> 00:40:25,755
Speaker 1: since Kitty Hawk blindly constructing the elaborate Petard, by which,

570
00:40:25,795 --> 00:40:31,435
Speaker 1: sooner or later it must be hoist. It was inevitable

571
00:40:31,435 --> 00:40:33,715
Speaker 1: that someday there would come, roaring out of the skies

572
00:40:34,115 --> 00:40:38,795
Speaker 1: a national hero of insufficient intelligence, background and character successfully

573
00:40:38,835 --> 00:40:42,235
Speaker 1: to endure the mounting orgies of glory prepared for aviators

574
00:40:42,555 --> 00:40:45,755
Speaker 1: who stayed up for a long time or flew a

575
00:40:45,795 --> 00:40:51,275
Speaker 1: great distance. Both Lindbergh and Byrd, fortunately for national decorum

576
00:40:51,315 --> 00:40:55,435
Speaker 1: and international amity, had been gentlemen, So had our other

577
00:40:55,555 --> 00:41:00,075
Speaker 1: famous aviators. They wore their laurels gracefully, withstood the awful

578
00:41:00,075 --> 00:41:05,115
Speaker 1: weather of publicity, married excellent women, usually fine family, quietly

579
00:41:05,115 --> 00:41:08,715
Speaker 1: retired to private life and the enjoyment of their varying fortunes.

580
00:41:09,355 --> 00:41:14,155
Speaker 1: No untoward incidents on a worldwide scale marred the perfection

581
00:41:14,235 --> 00:41:18,035
Speaker 1: of their conduct on the perilous heights of fame. The

582
00:41:18,155 --> 00:41:23,955
Speaker 1: exception to the rule was, however, bound to occur, and

583
00:41:24,075 --> 00:41:28,555
Speaker 1: it did in July nineteen thirty seven, when Jack pal

584
00:41:29,195 --> 00:41:34,515
Speaker 1: smirch erstwhile mechanics helper in a small garage in Westfield, Iowa,

585
00:41:34,915 --> 00:41:40,515
Speaker 1: flew a second hand, single motored Presthabn Dragonfly three monoplane

586
00:41:40,675 --> 00:41:47,955
Speaker 1: all the way around the world without stopping. Never before

587
00:41:47,955 --> 00:41:50,075
Speaker 1: in the history of aviation had such a flight as

588
00:41:50,075 --> 00:41:53,635
Speaker 1: Smirches even been dreamed of. No one had even taken

589
00:41:53,795 --> 00:41:57,915
Speaker 1: seriously the weird floating auxiliary gas tanks invention of the

590
00:41:57,955 --> 00:42:01,875
Speaker 1: mad New Hampshire professor of astronomy, doctor Charles Lewis, Gresham,

591
00:42:02,195 --> 00:42:06,595
Speaker 1: upon which Smirch placed full reliance. When the garage worker,

592
00:42:06,875 --> 00:42:11,395
Speaker 1: a slightly built, surly unprepossessing young man of twenty two,

593
00:42:11,715 --> 00:42:15,035
Speaker 1: appeared at Roosevelt Field early in July nineteen thirty seven,

594
00:42:15,595 --> 00:42:20,195
Speaker 1: slowly chewing a great quid of scrap tobacco, and announced,

595
00:42:20,795 --> 00:42:25,315
Speaker 1: nobody ain't seen no flying yet. The newspapers touched briefly

596
00:42:25,435 --> 00:42:29,875
Speaker 1: and satirically upon his projected twenty five thousand mile flight.

597
00:42:30,715 --> 00:42:35,155
Speaker 1: Aeronautical and automotive experts dismissed the idea, curtly, implying that

598
00:42:35,195 --> 00:42:39,195
Speaker 1: it was a hoax, the publicity stunt. The rusty, battered

599
00:42:39,515 --> 00:42:46,835
Speaker 1: second hand plane wouldn't go, the Gresham auxiliary tanks wouldn't work.

600
00:42:47,795 --> 00:42:54,475
Speaker 1: It was simply a cheap joke. Smirch, however, after calling

601
00:42:54,515 --> 00:42:56,955
Speaker 1: on a girl in Brooklyn who worked in the flap

602
00:42:57,035 --> 00:43:00,355
Speaker 1: folding department of a large paper box factory, a girl

603
00:43:00,595 --> 00:43:05,675
Speaker 1: whom he later described as his sweet bitituty climb nonchalantly

604
00:43:05,715 --> 00:43:09,555
Speaker 1: into his ridiculous plane at dawn the memorable seventh of

605
00:43:09,635 --> 00:43:13,795
Speaker 1: July nineteen thirty seven, spit a curve of tobacco juice

606
00:43:13,795 --> 00:43:16,835
Speaker 1: into the still air, and took off, carrying with him

607
00:43:17,115 --> 00:43:22,515
Speaker 1: only a gallon of bootleg gin and six pounds of salami.

608
00:43:23,955 --> 00:43:26,555
Speaker 1: When the garage boy thundered out over the ocean, the

609
00:43:26,595 --> 00:43:29,875
Speaker 1: papers were forced to record in all seriousness that a mad,

610
00:43:30,275 --> 00:43:34,995
Speaker 1: unknown young man his name was variously misspelled, had actually

611
00:43:35,155 --> 00:43:38,355
Speaker 1: set out upon a preposterous attempt to span the world

612
00:43:38,435 --> 00:43:42,035
Speaker 1: in a rickety one engine contraption, trusting to the long

613
00:43:42,115 --> 00:43:47,435
Speaker 1: distance refueling device of a crazy schoolmaster. When nine days later,

614
00:43:47,635 --> 00:43:51,075
Speaker 1: without having stopped once, the tiny plane appeared above San

615
00:43:51,155 --> 00:43:54,675
Speaker 1: Francisco Bay, headed for New York, spluttering and choking, to

616
00:43:54,675 --> 00:43:58,915
Speaker 1: be sure, but still magnificently and miraculously aloft the headlines,

617
00:43:59,115 --> 00:44:02,635
Speaker 1: which long since had crowded everything else off the front page.

618
00:44:02,715 --> 00:44:05,235
Speaker 1: Even the shooting of the Governor of Illa by the

619
00:44:05,315 --> 00:44:10,395
Speaker 1: Valletti gang swelled to unprecedented size, and the news stories

620
00:44:10,435 --> 00:44:15,555
Speaker 1: began to run to twenty five and thirty columns. It

621
00:44:15,755 --> 00:44:20,875
Speaker 1: was noticeable, however, that the accounts of the epoch making

622
00:44:20,995 --> 00:44:26,915
Speaker 1: flight touched rather lightly upon the aviator himself. This was

623
00:44:26,955 --> 00:44:29,435
Speaker 1: not because the facts about the hero as a man

624
00:44:29,515 --> 00:44:35,755
Speaker 1: were too meager, but because they were too complete. Reporters

625
00:44:35,795 --> 00:44:38,475
Speaker 1: who had been rushed out to Iowa when Smirch's plane

626
00:44:38,515 --> 00:44:41,195
Speaker 1: was first sighted over the little French coast town of

627
00:44:41,395 --> 00:44:43,835
Speaker 1: ser Lee Lemaire to dig up the story of the

628
00:44:43,835 --> 00:44:47,595
Speaker 1: great man's life, had promptly discovered that the story of

629
00:44:47,635 --> 00:44:51,435
Speaker 1: his life could not be printed. His mother, a sullen

630
00:44:51,595 --> 00:44:54,035
Speaker 1: short order cook in a shack restaurant on the edge

631
00:44:54,035 --> 00:44:57,795
Speaker 1: of a tourists camping ground near Westfield, met all inquiries

632
00:44:57,795 --> 00:45:00,195
Speaker 1: as to her son with an angry and the hell

633
00:45:00,235 --> 00:45:04,115
Speaker 1: with him a hoppy drowns. His father appeared to be

634
00:45:04,155 --> 00:45:08,635
Speaker 1: in jail somewhere for stealing spotlights and lap robes from

635
00:45:08,715 --> 00:45:13,515
Speaker 1: tourists automobiles. His young brother, a weak minded lad, had

636
00:45:13,515 --> 00:45:16,555
Speaker 1: but recently escaped from the Preston, Iowa Reformatory and was

637
00:45:16,595 --> 00:45:19,475
Speaker 1: already wanted in several Western towns for the theft of

638
00:45:19,595 --> 00:45:24,635
Speaker 1: money order blanks from post offices. These alarming discoveries were

639
00:45:24,675 --> 00:45:27,395
Speaker 1: still piling up at the very time that Pal Smirch,

640
00:45:27,715 --> 00:45:31,835
Speaker 1: the greatest hero of the twentieth century, blear eyed, dead

641
00:45:31,875 --> 00:45:35,915
Speaker 1: for sleep, half starved, was piloting his crazy junk heap

642
00:45:35,995 --> 00:45:38,395
Speaker 1: high above the region in which the lamentable story of

643
00:45:38,435 --> 00:45:41,475
Speaker 1: his private life was being unearthed, headed for New York,

644
00:45:41,635 --> 00:45:44,475
Speaker 1: and a greater glory than any man of his time

645
00:45:44,595 --> 00:45:51,755
Speaker 1: had ever known. The necessity for printing some account in

646
00:45:51,835 --> 00:45:54,875
Speaker 1: the papers of the young man's career and personality had

647
00:45:54,955 --> 00:45:58,475
Speaker 1: led to a remarkable predicament. It was, of course, impossible

648
00:45:58,515 --> 00:46:02,475
Speaker 1: to reveal the facts, for a tremendous popular feeling in

649
00:46:02,595 --> 00:46:04,955
Speaker 1: favor of the young hero had sprung up like a

650
00:46:04,995 --> 00:46:07,875
Speaker 1: grass fire when he was halfway across Europe on his

651
00:46:07,955 --> 00:46:11,715
Speaker 1: flight around the globe. He was therefore described as a modest,

652
00:46:11,795 --> 00:46:17,675
Speaker 1: chap taciturn blonde, popular with his friends, popular with girls.

653
00:46:18,475 --> 00:46:21,955
Speaker 1: The only available snapshot of Smirch, taken at the wheel

654
00:46:21,995 --> 00:46:24,755
Speaker 1: of a phony automobile in a cheap photo studio at

655
00:46:24,755 --> 00:46:27,675
Speaker 1: an amusement park, was touched up so that the little

656
00:46:27,755 --> 00:46:33,555
Speaker 1: vulgarian looked quite handsome. His twisted leer was smoothed into

657
00:46:33,595 --> 00:46:37,355
Speaker 1: a pleasant smile. The truth was in this way kept

658
00:46:37,355 --> 00:46:41,075
Speaker 1: from the youth's ecstatic compatriots. They did not dream that

659
00:46:41,115 --> 00:46:45,315
Speaker 1: the Smirch family was despised and feared by its neighbors

660
00:46:45,315 --> 00:46:48,355
Speaker 1: in the obscure Iowa town, nor that the hero himself,

661
00:46:48,915 --> 00:46:52,635
Speaker 1: because of numerous unsavory exploits had come to be regarded

662
00:46:52,675 --> 00:46:57,875
Speaker 1: in Westfield as a nuisance and a menace. Pal's smirch

663
00:46:58,035 --> 00:47:01,275
Speaker 1: had the reporters discovered once knife the principle of his

664
00:47:01,515 --> 00:47:05,675
Speaker 1: high school, not mortally, to be sure, but he had him,

665
00:47:05,795 --> 00:47:09,555
Speaker 1: and on another occasion, surprised in the act of an

666
00:47:09,675 --> 00:47:12,955
Speaker 1: stealing altar cloth from a church, he had bashed the

667
00:47:12,995 --> 00:47:15,915
Speaker 1: sexton over the head with a pot of Easter lilies.

668
00:47:16,915 --> 00:47:20,155
Speaker 1: For each of these offenses he had served a sentence

669
00:47:20,195 --> 00:47:25,235
Speaker 1: in the reformatory. Inwardly, the authorities, both in New York

670
00:47:25,275 --> 00:47:30,075
Speaker 1: and in Washington, prayed that an understanding providence might, however awful,

671
00:47:30,315 --> 00:47:34,755
Speaker 1: such a thing seemed, bring disaster to the rusty, battered

672
00:47:34,795 --> 00:47:38,115
Speaker 1: plane and its illustrious pilot, whose unheard of flight had

673
00:47:38,155 --> 00:47:43,195
Speaker 1: aroused the civilized world to hosannas of hysterical praise. The

674
00:47:43,275 --> 00:47:46,755
Speaker 1: authorities were convinced that the character of the renowned aviator

675
00:47:46,875 --> 00:47:49,875
Speaker 1: was such that the limelight of adulation was bound to

676
00:47:49,995 --> 00:47:54,515
Speaker 1: reveal him to all the world as a congenital hooligan,

677
00:47:54,955 --> 00:47:59,515
Speaker 1: mentally and morally unequipped to cope with his own prodigious fame.

678
00:48:00,995 --> 00:48:03,555
Speaker 1: I trust, said the Secretary of State, at one of

679
00:48:03,555 --> 00:48:07,515
Speaker 1: the many secret Cabinet meetings called to consider the national dilemma.

680
00:48:08,075 --> 00:48:13,675
Speaker 1: I trust that his mother's prayer will be answered, by

681
00:48:13,715 --> 00:48:16,675
Speaker 1: which he referred to missus Emma's Smirch's wish that her

682
00:48:16,715 --> 00:48:20,995
Speaker 1: son might be drowned. It was, however, too late for

683
00:48:21,035 --> 00:48:24,035
Speaker 1: that Smirch had leaped the Atlantic and then the Pacific

684
00:48:24,075 --> 00:48:26,995
Speaker 1: as if they were mill ponds. At three minutes after

685
00:48:27,035 --> 00:48:30,355
Speaker 1: two o'clock on the afternoon of July seventeenth, nineteen thirty seven,

686
00:48:30,515 --> 00:48:34,395
Speaker 1: the garage boy brought his idiotic plane into Roosevelt Field

687
00:48:34,395 --> 00:48:39,395
Speaker 1: for a perfect three point landing. It had, of course

688
00:48:39,835 --> 00:48:42,475
Speaker 1: been out of the question to arrange a modest little

689
00:48:42,475 --> 00:48:45,515
Speaker 1: reception for the greatest flier in the history of the world.

690
00:48:45,755 --> 00:48:48,675
Speaker 1: He was received at Roosevelt Field with such elaborate and

691
00:48:48,715 --> 00:48:54,435
Speaker 1: pretentious ceremonies as rocked the world. Fortunately, however, the warren

692
00:48:54,515 --> 00:48:58,635
Speaker 1: and spent hero promptly swooned, had to be removed bodily

693
00:48:58,635 --> 00:49:01,115
Speaker 1: from his plane, and was spirited from the field without

694
00:49:01,115 --> 00:49:04,675
Speaker 1: having opened his mouth once. Thus he did not jeopardize

695
00:49:04,715 --> 00:49:08,595
Speaker 1: as the dignity of his first reception, a reception illumined

696
00:49:09,155 --> 00:49:12,035
Speaker 1: by the presence of the Secretaries of War and the Navy,

697
00:49:12,235 --> 00:49:15,595
Speaker 1: Mayor Michael J. Moriarty of New York, the Premier of Canada,

698
00:49:15,835 --> 00:49:19,315
Speaker 1: Governor's Fannamine Groves, mcpheeley and Critchfield, and a brilliant array

699
00:49:19,355 --> 00:49:24,155
Speaker 1: of European diplomats. Smirch did not, in fact come too

700
00:49:24,235 --> 00:49:27,035
Speaker 1: in time to take part in the gigantic hullabaloo arranged

701
00:49:27,035 --> 00:49:29,675
Speaker 1: at City Hall for the next day. He was rushed

702
00:49:29,675 --> 00:49:34,115
Speaker 1: to a secluded nursing home and confined in bed. It

703
00:49:34,155 --> 00:49:36,715
Speaker 1: was nine days before he was able to get up, or,

704
00:49:36,755 --> 00:49:42,715
Speaker 1: to be more exact, before he was permitted to get up. Meanwhile,

705
00:49:42,795 --> 00:49:45,475
Speaker 1: the greatest minds in the country in solemn assembly, had

706
00:49:45,555 --> 00:49:49,795
Speaker 1: arranged a secret conference of city, state and government officials,

707
00:49:49,795 --> 00:49:53,115
Speaker 1: which Smirch was to attend for the purpose of being

708
00:49:53,155 --> 00:49:59,955
Speaker 1: instructed in the ethics and behavior of heroism. On the

709
00:50:00,035 --> 00:50:02,315
Speaker 1: day that the little mechanic was finally allowed to get

710
00:50:02,395 --> 00:50:04,355
Speaker 1: up in dress and for the first time in two weeks,

711
00:50:04,395 --> 00:50:07,515
Speaker 1: took a chew of tomacco, he was permitted to receive

712
00:50:07,635 --> 00:50:11,075
Speaker 1: the newspaper men this by way of testing him out.

713
00:50:12,355 --> 00:50:16,315
Speaker 1: Smirch did not wait for questions, use guys, he said,

714
00:50:16,955 --> 00:50:20,595
Speaker 1: and the Times Man winced use, guys can tell a

715
00:50:20,675 --> 00:50:23,595
Speaker 1: cock eyed world that I put it over on Lindbergh.

716
00:50:23,675 --> 00:50:28,795
Speaker 1: See yeah, man an as said, I'm two frogs. The

717
00:50:29,075 --> 00:50:32,875
Speaker 1: two frogs was a reference to a pair of gallant

718
00:50:32,995 --> 00:50:36,675
Speaker 1: French flyers who, in attempting to flight only halfway round

719
00:50:36,715 --> 00:50:39,995
Speaker 1: the world, had two weeks before unhappily been lost at sea.

720
00:50:40,515 --> 00:50:42,915
Speaker 1: The Times Man was bold enough at this point to

721
00:50:42,955 --> 00:50:46,595
Speaker 1: sketch out for Smirch the accepted formula for interviews in

722
00:50:46,715 --> 00:50:49,475
Speaker 1: cases of this kind. He explained that there should be

723
00:50:49,515 --> 00:50:54,435
Speaker 1: no arrogant statements belittling the achievements of other heroes, particularly

724
00:50:54,555 --> 00:50:58,795
Speaker 1: heroes of foreign nations. Ah the hell with that, said Smirch.

725
00:50:59,635 --> 00:51:02,595
Speaker 1: I did it. See I did it, and I'm talking

726
00:51:02,635 --> 00:51:07,595
Speaker 1: about it. And he did talk about it. None of

727
00:51:07,635 --> 00:51:12,035
Speaker 1: this extraordinary interview was, of course printed. On the contrary,

728
00:51:12,075 --> 00:51:15,235
Speaker 1: the newspapers, already under the discipline direction of a secret

729
00:51:15,235 --> 00:51:19,155
Speaker 1: directorate created for the occasion and composed of statesmen and editors,

730
00:51:19,515 --> 00:51:22,395
Speaker 1: gave out to a panting and restless world that Jackie,

731
00:51:23,195 --> 00:51:26,755
Speaker 1: as he had been arbitrarily nicknamed, would consent to say

732
00:51:26,795 --> 00:51:30,195
Speaker 1: only that he was very happy, and that anyone could

733
00:51:30,235 --> 00:51:33,435
Speaker 1: have done what he did. My achievement has been I

734
00:51:33,475 --> 00:51:37,995
Speaker 1: fear slightly exaggerated. The Times Man's article had him protest

735
00:51:38,035 --> 00:51:42,115
Speaker 1: with a modest smile. These newspaper stories were kept from

736
00:51:42,195 --> 00:51:45,395
Speaker 1: the hero, a restriction which did not serve to abate

737
00:51:45,515 --> 00:51:50,355
Speaker 1: the rising malevolence of his temper. The situation was indeed

738
00:51:50,595 --> 00:51:56,035
Speaker 1: extremely grave for Pale's Smirch was, as he kept insisting,

739
00:51:56,475 --> 00:51:59,995
Speaker 1: rare and to go. He could not much longer be

740
00:52:00,075 --> 00:52:02,955
Speaker 1: kept from a nation clamorous to lionize him. It was

741
00:52:02,995 --> 00:52:05,475
Speaker 1: the most desperate crisis the year the United States of

742
00:52:05,515 --> 00:52:11,475
Speaker 1: America had faced since the sinking of the Lusitania. On

743
00:52:11,555 --> 00:52:14,715
Speaker 1: the afternoon of the twenty seventh of July, Smirch was

744
00:52:14,755 --> 00:52:18,155
Speaker 1: spirited away to a conference room in which were gathered mayors, governors,

745
00:52:18,195 --> 00:52:23,115
Speaker 1: government officials, behaviorist, psychologists, and editors. He gave them each

746
00:52:23,155 --> 00:52:28,715
Speaker 1: a limp moist paw, and a brief, unlovely grin, hi

747
00:52:29,595 --> 00:52:32,915
Speaker 1: he said. When Smirch was seated, the Mayor of New

748
00:52:32,995 --> 00:52:36,435
Speaker 1: York arose, and, with obvious pessimism, attempted to explain what

749
00:52:36,515 --> 00:52:39,635
Speaker 1: he must say and how he must act when presented

750
00:52:39,635 --> 00:52:42,795
Speaker 1: to the world, ending his talk with a high tribute

751
00:52:42,795 --> 00:52:46,115
Speaker 1: to the hero's courage and integrity. The mayor was followed

752
00:52:46,155 --> 00:52:48,955
Speaker 1: by Governor Fannmen of New York, who, after a touching

753
00:52:48,995 --> 00:52:53,875
Speaker 1: declaration of faith, introduced Cameron Spottiswood, second Secretary of the

754
00:52:53,915 --> 00:52:57,835
Speaker 1: American Embassy in Paris. The gentlemen selected to coach Smirch

755
00:52:58,435 --> 00:53:02,675
Speaker 1: in the amenities of public ceremonies. Sitting in a chair

756
00:53:02,875 --> 00:53:05,595
Speaker 1: with a soiled yellow tie in his hand and his

757
00:53:05,635 --> 00:53:10,155
Speaker 1: shirt opened at the throat, unshaved, smoking a rolled cigarette,

758
00:53:10,595 --> 00:53:13,915
Speaker 1: Jack Smirch listened with a leer on his lips. I

759
00:53:14,235 --> 00:53:18,395
Speaker 1: get you, I get you, He cut in nastily. You

760
00:53:18,475 --> 00:53:21,235
Speaker 1: want me to act like a softie? Huh? You want

761
00:53:21,235 --> 00:53:25,115
Speaker 1: me to act like that? Ay, memny baby face lind

762
00:53:25,155 --> 00:53:29,555
Speaker 1: big huh? Well nuts to that. See. Everyone took in

763
00:53:29,635 --> 00:53:33,675
Speaker 1: his breath sharply. It was a sigh and a hiss.

764
00:53:34,555 --> 00:53:39,115
Speaker 1: Mister Lindbergh began. A United States Senator purple with rage,

765
00:53:39,315 --> 00:53:43,515
Speaker 1: and mister bird Smirch, who was paring his nails with

766
00:53:43,555 --> 00:53:47,315
Speaker 1: a jackknife, cut in again. Boyd. He exclaimed, Oh, for

767
00:53:47,435 --> 00:53:51,195
Speaker 1: God's sake, that big somebody shut off the blasphemies with

768
00:53:51,275 --> 00:53:54,555
Speaker 1: a sharp word. A newcomer had entered the word the room.

769
00:53:55,115 --> 00:53:57,555
Speaker 1: Everyone stood up, except Smirch, who was still busy with

770
00:53:57,595 --> 00:54:01,315
Speaker 1: his nails, and he did not even glance up. Mister Smirch,

771
00:54:01,515 --> 00:54:05,635
Speaker 1: said someone sternly. The President of the United States. It

772
00:54:05,675 --> 00:54:07,915
Speaker 1: had been thought that the presence of the chief Executive

773
00:54:08,115 --> 00:54:10,915
Speaker 1: might have a chastening effect on the young hero, and

774
00:54:11,075 --> 00:54:13,915
Speaker 1: the former had been, thanks to the remarkable cooperation of

775
00:54:13,915 --> 00:54:19,675
Speaker 1: the press, secretly brought to the obscure conference room. A great,

776
00:54:20,035 --> 00:54:28,555
Speaker 1: painful silence fell. Smirch looked up, waved a hand at

777
00:54:28,555 --> 00:54:35,075
Speaker 1: the President. How you coming, he asked, and began rolling

778
00:54:35,315 --> 00:54:42,995
Speaker 1: a fresh cigarette. The silence deepened. Someone coughed in a

779
00:54:43,035 --> 00:54:50,195
Speaker 1: strained way. Jesus hot, ain't it, said Smirch. He loosened

780
00:54:50,235 --> 00:54:53,475
Speaker 1: two more shirt buttons, revealing a hairy chest and the

781
00:54:53,555 --> 00:54:59,755
Speaker 1: tattooed word sadie enclosed in a stenciled heart. The great

782
00:54:59,875 --> 00:55:02,835
Speaker 1: and important men in the room, faced by the most

783
00:55:02,835 --> 00:55:08,715
Speaker 1: serious crisis in American history, exchanged worried frowns. Nobody seemed

784
00:55:08,715 --> 00:55:12,955
Speaker 1: to know how to proceed. Come on, come on, said Smirch,

785
00:55:13,275 --> 00:55:15,475
Speaker 1: Let's get the hell out of here. Why do I

786
00:55:15,515 --> 00:55:16,995
Speaker 1: start cutting in on the parties?

787
00:55:17,075 --> 00:55:17,275
Speaker 3: Euh?

788
00:55:17,875 --> 00:55:22,595
Speaker 1: And when is there gonna be this in it. He

789
00:55:22,675 --> 00:55:27,635
Speaker 1: rubbed a thumb and forefinger together meaningly. Money, exclaimed a

790
00:55:27,635 --> 00:55:33,195
Speaker 1: state senator shocked. Pale, Yeah, money, said pal, flipping his

791
00:55:33,195 --> 00:55:36,915
Speaker 1: cigarette out of the window. And big money. He began

792
00:55:36,995 --> 00:55:42,435
Speaker 1: rolling a fresh cigarette. Big money, he repeated. Frowning over

793
00:55:42,435 --> 00:55:45,555
Speaker 1: the rice paper. He tilted back in his chair and

794
00:55:45,715 --> 00:55:49,835
Speaker 1: leered at each gentleman separately, the leer of an animal

795
00:55:49,875 --> 00:55:53,515
Speaker 1: that knows its power, the leer of a leopard loose

796
00:55:53,595 --> 00:55:57,635
Speaker 1: in a bird and dog shop. Ah, for God's sake,

797
00:55:57,995 --> 00:56:01,355
Speaker 1: let's get someplace where it's cool, he said. I've been

798
00:56:01,435 --> 00:56:05,675
Speaker 1: cooped up plenty for three weeks. Smirch stood up and

799
00:56:05,715 --> 00:56:08,835
Speaker 1: walked over to an open window, where he stood staring

800
00:56:08,915 --> 00:56:13,795
Speaker 1: down into the street nine floors below. The faint shouting

801
00:56:13,835 --> 00:56:17,235
Speaker 1: of newsboys floated up to him. He made out his name,

802
00:56:17,595 --> 00:56:22,835
Speaker 1: hot Dog, he cried, grinning ecstatic. He leaned out over

803
00:56:22,875 --> 00:56:27,875
Speaker 1: the sill. You tell of babies, he shouted down, Hot

804
00:56:27,995 --> 00:56:32,075
Speaker 1: Diggity Dog, and the tense little knot of men standing

805
00:56:32,115 --> 00:56:36,555
Speaker 1: behind him, a quick, mad impulse flared up. An unspoken

806
00:56:36,635 --> 00:56:40,395
Speaker 1: word of appeal of command seemed to ring through the room,

807
00:56:40,715 --> 00:56:44,875
Speaker 1: yet it was deadly silent. Charles k. L Brand Secretary

808
00:56:44,915 --> 00:56:46,675
Speaker 1: to the Mayor of New York City happened to be

809
00:56:46,715 --> 00:56:50,435
Speaker 1: standing nearest smirch. He looked inquiringly at the President of

810
00:56:50,475 --> 00:56:56,235
Speaker 1: the United States. The President, pale grim nodded shortly. Brand

811
00:56:56,475 --> 00:57:00,115
Speaker 1: a tall, powerfully built man wants to tackle at Rutgers University,

812
00:57:00,435 --> 00:57:03,755
Speaker 1: stepped forward, seized the greatest man in the world by

813
00:57:03,755 --> 00:57:06,275
Speaker 1: his left shoulder and seat of his pants, and pushed

814
00:57:06,315 --> 00:57:10,035
Speaker 1: him out the window. My god, he's fallen out the window,

815
00:57:10,395 --> 00:57:12,675
Speaker 1: cried a quick witted editor. Get me out of here,

816
00:57:12,715 --> 00:57:15,075
Speaker 1: cried the President. Several men sprang to his side, and

817
00:57:15,115 --> 00:57:17,035
Speaker 1: he was hurriedly escorted out of a door toward a

818
00:57:17,115 --> 00:57:19,635
Speaker 1: side entrance of the building. The editor of the Associated

819
00:57:19,675 --> 00:57:22,435
Speaker 1: Press took charge. Being used to such things crisply, he

820
00:57:22,555 --> 00:57:25,515
Speaker 1: ordered certain men to leave, others to stay Quickly. He

821
00:57:25,555 --> 00:57:28,155
Speaker 1: outlined a story which all the papers were to agree on,

822
00:57:28,475 --> 00:57:30,475
Speaker 1: sent two men to the street to handle that end

823
00:57:30,515 --> 00:57:33,435
Speaker 1: of the tragedy, commanded a senator to sob and two

824
00:57:33,595 --> 00:57:37,835
Speaker 1: congressmen to go to pieces nervously. In a word, he

825
00:57:38,035 --> 00:57:41,475
Speaker 1: skillfully set the stage for the gigantic task that was

826
00:57:41,515 --> 00:57:45,435
Speaker 1: to follow, the task of breaking to a grief stricken world.

827
00:57:45,915 --> 00:57:50,555
Speaker 1: The sad story of the untimely accidental death of its

828
00:57:50,595 --> 00:57:56,995
Speaker 1: most illustrious and spectacular figure. The funeral was, as you know,

829
00:57:58,155 --> 00:58:03,115
Speaker 1: the most elaborate, the finest, the solemnest, and the saddest

830
00:58:03,155 --> 00:58:06,555
Speaker 1: ever held in the United States of America. The monument

831
00:58:06,635 --> 00:58:10,555
Speaker 1: in Arlington Cemetery, with its clean white shaft of marble

832
00:58:11,115 --> 00:58:15,355
Speaker 1: and the simple device of a tiny plane carved on its base,

833
00:58:16,275 --> 00:58:21,435
Speaker 1: is a place for pilgrims in deep reverence to visit.

834
00:58:22,595 --> 00:58:25,715
Speaker 1: The nations of the world paid lofty tributes to little

835
00:58:25,795 --> 00:58:32,155
Speaker 1: Jackie Smirch, America's greatest hero. At a given hour, there

836
00:58:32,155 --> 00:58:35,275
Speaker 1: were two minutes of silence throughout the nation. Even the

837
00:58:35,315 --> 00:58:40,115
Speaker 1: inhabitants of the small, bewildered town of Westfield, Iowa, observed

838
00:58:40,195 --> 00:58:44,075
Speaker 1: this touching ceremony. Agents of the Department of Justice sought

839
00:58:44,075 --> 00:58:48,195
Speaker 1: to that one of them was especially assigned to stand

840
00:58:48,235 --> 00:58:51,115
Speaker 1: grimly in the doorway of a little shack restaurant on

841
00:58:51,155 --> 00:58:56,715
Speaker 1: the edge of the tourist's camping ground just outside the town. There,

842
00:58:56,955 --> 00:59:01,715
Speaker 1: under his stern scrutiny, Missus Emma Smirch bowed her head

843
00:59:01,755 --> 00:59:05,595
Speaker 1: over two Hamburger steaks sizzling on her grill, bowed her

844
00:59:05,675 --> 00:59:10,115
Speaker 1: head and turned away so that the secret serviceman could

845
00:59:10,155 --> 00:59:29,715
Speaker 1: not see the twisted, strangely familiar leer on her lips.

846
00:59:31,995 --> 00:59:37,395
Speaker 1: Spoiler alert, spoiler alert who are you? Tom Broke A

847
00:59:37,595 --> 00:59:42,475
Speaker 1: spoiler alert after the fact that story is about Trump.

848
00:59:43,275 --> 00:59:44,995
Speaker 1: I mean, it's right down to the horrific look on

849
00:59:45,035 --> 00:59:49,435
Speaker 1: Trump's mom's face. I've done all the damage here. Thank

850
00:59:49,475 --> 00:59:52,675
Speaker 1: you for listening. Brian Ray and John Phillip Shaneil the

851
00:59:52,755 --> 00:59:56,115
Speaker 1: musical directors have Countdown, arranged, produced, and performed most of

852
00:59:56,115 --> 01:00:00,035
Speaker 1: our music. Mister Chanelle handled orchestration and keyboards. Mister Ray

853
01:00:00,115 --> 01:00:02,715
Speaker 1: was on guitars, bassed on drums, and it was produced

854
01:00:02,715 --> 01:00:07,075
Speaker 1: by Tko Brothers. Our tirical and pithy musical comments are

855
01:00:07,115 --> 01:00:10,195
Speaker 1: by the best baseball stadium organist ever, Nancy Faust. The

856
01:00:10,235 --> 01:00:13,675
Speaker 1: sports music is the Olderman theme from ESPN two, written

857
01:00:13,715 --> 01:00:16,995
Speaker 1: by Mitch Horren Davis Curtesy of ESPN Inc. Other music

858
01:00:17,115 --> 01:00:20,195
Speaker 1: arranged and performed by the group No Horns Allowed. My

859
01:00:20,235 --> 01:00:23,435
Speaker 1: announcer today is my friend Larry David. Everything else was

860
01:00:23,475 --> 01:00:30,995
Speaker 1: pretty much my fault, including Tucker Carlson's scratches. I feel

861
01:00:30,995 --> 01:00:33,635
Speaker 1: like playing the Looney Tunes theme whenever I talk about

862
01:00:33,675 --> 01:00:37,755
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson. That's countdown for today, four days until the

863
01:00:37,755 --> 01:00:42,235
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four presidential election, the one three hundred and

864
01:00:42,275 --> 01:00:46,395
Speaker 1: ninety sixth day since convicted felon dissociative fugue Jay Trump

865
01:00:46,635 --> 01:00:49,795
Speaker 1: got away with his first attempted coup against the democratically

866
01:00:49,835 --> 01:00:52,275
Speaker 1: elected government of the United States. Use the election, use

867
01:00:52,315 --> 01:00:55,675
Speaker 1: the mental health system, use presidential immunity to keep him

868
01:00:56,155 --> 01:01:00,115
Speaker 1: from doing it again. Well, we still have a chance

869
01:01:00,195 --> 01:01:05,435
Speaker 1: to do so. The next scheduled countdown is Monday. Have

870
01:01:05,515 --> 01:01:09,395
Speaker 1: fun spending the weekend holding your breath bulletins as the

871
01:01:09,395 --> 01:01:13,275
Speaker 1: news requires. Till then, I'm Keith Olberman. Good morning, good afternoon,

Speaker 1: good night, and good luck. Countdown with Keith Olderman is
