WEBVTT - TRUMP PLANS 2020 ELECTION INDICTMENTS, SHOW TRIALS - 1.22.26

0:00:04.795 --> 0:00:26.835
<v Speaker 1>Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. Donald

0:00:26.915 --> 0:00:30.755
<v Speaker 1>John Trump cannot continue as president of the United States.

0:00:31.355 --> 0:00:37.915
<v Speaker 1>He is at this moment having a full scale psychological breakdown. Obviously,

0:00:39.635 --> 0:00:46.075
<v Speaker 1>so we're agreed good. However, lost in this quicksand of

0:00:46.115 --> 0:00:49.835
<v Speaker 1>this latest Trump full length, complete and total seventy two

0:00:49.995 --> 0:00:52.795
<v Speaker 1>hours of delusion of something just this side of a

0:00:52.835 --> 0:00:56.395
<v Speaker 1>fugue state, Trump has let it slip. He has provided

0:00:56.515 --> 0:01:00.395
<v Speaker 1>enough clues to suggest that his next insane scheme may

0:01:00.435 --> 0:01:06.395
<v Speaker 1>be a rollout of an absolutely fabricated, amazingly intricate, high octane,

0:01:06.515 --> 0:01:10.555
<v Speaker 1>full volume cell of the conspiracy theory that the twenty

0:01:10.635 --> 0:01:13.635
<v Speaker 1>twenty presidential election was not only fixed, but that it

0:01:13.715 --> 0:01:20.675
<v Speaker 1>was fixed by Nicholas Maduro of Venezuela. And that's why

0:01:20.715 --> 0:01:27.635
<v Speaker 1>we renditioned him. You heard me, Trump revealed intentionally. I

0:01:27.675 --> 0:01:31.395
<v Speaker 1>think he had a question planted at that putinesque multi

0:01:31.435 --> 0:01:36.835
<v Speaker 1>hour dissociative episode only with reporters present, that they may

0:01:36.875 --> 0:01:40.515
<v Speaker 1>be about to start an attempt to gaslight and sainwash

0:01:40.595 --> 0:01:44.155
<v Speaker 1>at the same time some sort of Maduro confession to

0:01:44.275 --> 0:01:47.875
<v Speaker 1>fixing it for Biden and then pardoning Maduro and prosecuting

0:01:47.915 --> 0:01:50.235
<v Speaker 1>Biden and Who knows if Trump takes it further and

0:01:50.275 --> 0:01:53.235
<v Speaker 1>tries to apply whatever this is supposed to mean to

0:01:53.475 --> 0:01:58.395
<v Speaker 1>the midterms or to this continuing quixtic anti constitutional belief

0:01:58.435 --> 0:02:01.235
<v Speaker 1>that he's entitled to a third term. Who knows if

0:02:01.275 --> 0:02:04.035
<v Speaker 1>his brain will not have oozed out his ears by

0:02:04.115 --> 0:02:07.155
<v Speaker 1>then by next week. But I think the first part

0:02:07.195 --> 0:02:09.835
<v Speaker 1>is true. I think they are really going to try

0:02:09.875 --> 0:02:12.395
<v Speaker 1>the first part. They're going to try to draw all

0:02:12.475 --> 0:02:16.195
<v Speaker 1>the imaginary lunatic threads together and make them into one

0:02:16.515 --> 0:02:21.955
<v Speaker 1>giant imaginary lunatic plot to quote prove quote Trump quote

0:02:22.075 --> 0:02:28.475
<v Speaker 1>one quote the twenty twenty election. Thanks to Maduro. This

0:02:28.515 --> 0:02:32.275
<v Speaker 1>has been the holy grail down at the flat earth

0:02:32.435 --> 0:02:36.955
<v Speaker 1>spontaneous human combustion. There wasn't a moon landing end of

0:02:37.035 --> 0:02:40.155
<v Speaker 1>the Trumpest spectrum. And I don't know why this came

0:02:40.235 --> 0:02:43.595
<v Speaker 1>up this week unless Trump has decided that he has

0:02:43.595 --> 0:02:47.835
<v Speaker 1>no way out of Minnesota except letting Ice slowly just vanish,

0:02:48.155 --> 0:02:50.555
<v Speaker 1>the way he had to let the war on California

0:02:50.675 --> 0:02:54.835
<v Speaker 1>slowly just vanish. And that even Trump knows Greenland is

0:02:55.115 --> 0:02:58.355
<v Speaker 1>petering out. And now it's obvious he has lost all

0:02:58.395 --> 0:03:01.795
<v Speaker 1>interest in Iran, and now his cult is getting really

0:03:01.835 --> 0:03:04.555
<v Speaker 1>bored with the Nobel Peace Prize stuff since he already

0:03:04.555 --> 0:03:11.595
<v Speaker 1>got one, even though it's you know, used, Trump shortly

0:03:11.675 --> 0:03:14.515
<v Speaker 1>will be trying to sell and expecting the congressional and

0:03:14.595 --> 0:03:19.195
<v Speaker 1>senatorial whorees he owns to endorse. One of the favorite,

0:03:19.315 --> 0:03:22.915
<v Speaker 1>albeit dumbest conspiracy theories about the twenty twenty election that

0:03:22.995 --> 0:03:28.395
<v Speaker 1>it was fixed for President Biden by software design created

0:03:28.555 --> 0:03:34.235
<v Speaker 1>financed a shot by Nicholas Maduro of Venezuela. In reality,

0:03:34.355 --> 0:03:37.955
<v Speaker 1>Nicholas Maduro is a man who struggles to successfully zipper

0:03:38.035 --> 0:03:42.395
<v Speaker 1>his own windbreaker. But since long before the twenty twenty election,

0:03:42.595 --> 0:03:45.635
<v Speaker 1>the Trump gang has been pushing this nonsense that somebody

0:03:45.715 --> 0:03:49.395
<v Speaker 1>or some company or some magical force in Venezuela fixed

0:03:49.435 --> 0:03:53.115
<v Speaker 1>all the voting machines, because for six years now it

0:03:53.195 --> 0:03:56.595
<v Speaker 1>has been evident that nothing in Trump's damaged mind is

0:03:56.755 --> 0:04:03.475
<v Speaker 1>capable of processing the reality that he's lost Those around

0:04:03.555 --> 0:04:07.275
<v Speaker 1>him had large he tamped down the Maduro rigged that election,

0:04:07.395 --> 0:04:10.315
<v Speaker 1>you know delusion, But of course in the last year

0:04:10.755 --> 0:04:14.235
<v Speaker 1>those who could tamp him down have lost all influence

0:04:14.275 --> 0:04:16.555
<v Speaker 1>on him. He weeded out those who were good at it,

0:04:16.875 --> 0:04:19.835
<v Speaker 1>and has previously noted Trump's metal incapacity and his utter

0:04:20.035 --> 0:04:22.155
<v Speaker 1>certainty that he is right and the rest of us

0:04:22.195 --> 0:04:26.155
<v Speaker 1>are wrong grows by the hour. And then at that

0:04:26.235 --> 0:04:29.875
<v Speaker 1>news conference, Trump really spilled the beans on this. He

0:04:29.955 --> 0:04:31.955
<v Speaker 1>didn't do a lot, he didn't do it for a

0:04:31.955 --> 0:04:35.395
<v Speaker 1>long time. But if you were listening carefully amid all

0:04:35.515 --> 0:04:40.115
<v Speaker 1>of the truly delusional, nonsensical, no line of thought drek,

0:04:40.195 --> 0:04:45.275
<v Speaker 1>there were two gems on the pile of Trump shaped dung.

0:04:47.195 --> 0:04:50.875
<v Speaker 1>There is an alternative way to interpret this country's extra

0:04:50.955 --> 0:04:54.355
<v Speaker 1>legal kidnapping of the dictator of Venezuela on the pretext

0:04:54.355 --> 0:04:58.155
<v Speaker 1>of leaving his deputy in charge of that country, when

0:04:58.195 --> 0:05:01.515
<v Speaker 1>in fact she was the one our own anti drug

0:05:01.555 --> 0:05:06.515
<v Speaker 1>trafficking agencies were focused on, not him blowing up the

0:05:06.595 --> 0:05:09.475
<v Speaker 1>Venezuelan fishing boats and the Venezuelan fishermen and going in

0:05:09.515 --> 0:05:14.435
<v Speaker 1>and renditioning another leader might have had some vague connection

0:05:14.515 --> 0:05:18.155
<v Speaker 1>to the international drug trade. But this alternate theory, which

0:05:18.195 --> 0:05:22.235
<v Speaker 1>makes just as much lack of sense, it was that

0:05:22.275 --> 0:05:24.275
<v Speaker 1>it was in reality to accomplish this one thing, to

0:05:24.315 --> 0:05:27.595
<v Speaker 1>get Maduro into a US prison, to get him under

0:05:27.635 --> 0:05:31.795
<v Speaker 1>Trump's control, and then get him to confess or confirm

0:05:31.995 --> 0:05:34.755
<v Speaker 1>or invent some story in which no Biden didn't win

0:05:34.795 --> 0:05:37.435
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty. Trump really won in twenty twenty, and

0:05:37.475 --> 0:05:45.075
<v Speaker 1>he Nicholas Maduro and his Venezuelan mastermind somehow used in

0:05:45.435 --> 0:05:49.875
<v Speaker 1>space lasers, probably to change Trump votes to Biden votes

0:05:50.595 --> 0:05:56.715
<v Speaker 1>by the billions. If you can still hear me over

0:05:56.755 --> 0:06:01.515
<v Speaker 1>your own laughter or uncontrollable tears, let me remind you

0:06:01.595 --> 0:06:04.395
<v Speaker 1>of Trump's phone call from July twenty fifth, two thousand

0:06:04.475 --> 0:06:10.035
<v Speaker 1>nineth to the then non household name president of Ukraine,

0:06:10.875 --> 0:06:17.195
<v Speaker 1>Voladimir's Zolensky, which was in essence an extortion attempt, whereby

0:06:17.195 --> 0:06:19.835
<v Speaker 1>Trump would supply Ukraine with weapons he was already obligated

0:06:19.875 --> 0:06:22.795
<v Speaker 1>to supply by treaty in exchange for a little favor

0:06:22.835 --> 0:06:25.475
<v Speaker 1>in which Zelensky would provide or producer, simply make up

0:06:25.515 --> 0:06:28.395
<v Speaker 1>evidence that fifteen months ahead of the twenty twenty election,

0:06:28.795 --> 0:06:33.155
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden was being investigated in Ukraine for corruption. It

0:06:33.195 --> 0:06:36.395
<v Speaker 1>was a simple and itsself corrupt trade. Trump would extort

0:06:36.875 --> 0:06:41.075
<v Speaker 1>fabricated slander against his leading likely opponent in twenty twenty

0:06:41.315 --> 0:06:44.155
<v Speaker 1>in exchange for the weapons with which Zelensky might save,

0:06:44.475 --> 0:06:48.555
<v Speaker 1>you know, the lives of his people. It's a hostage

0:06:48.595 --> 0:06:52.835
<v Speaker 1>situation in any event. You might remember Trump got impeached

0:06:52.835 --> 0:06:57.595
<v Speaker 1>for it. Maybe you read about that the first impeachment

0:06:57.835 --> 0:07:00.755
<v Speaker 1>of the two. Well, already you can see what Trump

0:07:00.875 --> 0:07:03.955
<v Speaker 1>learned from all that. A simple one to one agreement

0:07:03.995 --> 0:07:07.635
<v Speaker 1>with another press that it is insufficient and in fact dangerous.

0:07:07.995 --> 0:07:11.235
<v Speaker 1>A box of phony documents smearing Biden would have been

0:07:11.555 --> 0:07:15.555
<v Speaker 1>insufficient and dangerous in anyways, Zelenski didn't share Trump's gift

0:07:15.635 --> 0:07:18.595
<v Speaker 1>for corruption. What Trump realized at the end of this

0:07:18.835 --> 0:07:24.635
<v Speaker 1>that he needed needs was something more dramatic and seemingly unanswerable,

0:07:24.755 --> 0:07:30.795
<v Speaker 1>like a prison cell confession from Nicholas Maduro, drug kingpin,

0:07:32.275 --> 0:07:37.795
<v Speaker 1>victim of oh US army gallantry, a confession for Maduro

0:07:37.875 --> 0:07:41.515
<v Speaker 1>that he fixed the twenty twenty election for Biden because

0:07:41.515 --> 0:07:43.795
<v Speaker 1>we've never had an explanation on how it was done,

0:07:43.955 --> 0:07:47.555
<v Speaker 1>and this guy would say anything. It's Nicholas effing Maduro.

0:07:49.195 --> 0:07:51.315
<v Speaker 1>And whether or not they pull this off, whether or

0:07:51.315 --> 0:07:53.795
<v Speaker 1>not it gets far enough for them to devote all

0:07:53.835 --> 0:07:56.355
<v Speaker 1>of the resources of the United States of America to

0:07:56.595 --> 0:08:00.355
<v Speaker 1>selling you this bullshit, whether or not they can convince

0:08:00.355 --> 0:08:03.795
<v Speaker 1>people it's real. Trump on Tuesday made two comments that

0:08:03.915 --> 0:08:08.755
<v Speaker 1>confirm he sure as hell is going to try comment

0:08:08.875 --> 0:08:12.235
<v Speaker 1>number one unsolicited so rigged election.

0:08:12.315 --> 0:08:15.155
<v Speaker 2>Everybody knows that now and by the way, numbers are

0:08:15.155 --> 0:08:17.355
<v Speaker 2>coming out that show it even more plainly.

0:08:18.075 --> 0:08:20.195
<v Speaker 3>We caught him, We caught.

0:08:20.075 --> 0:08:27.795
<v Speaker 1>Him, We caught them now. Trump is incapable of not lying,

0:08:28.315 --> 0:08:29.995
<v Speaker 1>so he could have said that at any time. But

0:08:30.035 --> 0:08:33.275
<v Speaker 1>the key to interpreting and understanding Trump's lies is to

0:08:33.275 --> 0:08:37.155
<v Speaker 1>remember that he sells them so well because he has

0:08:37.315 --> 0:08:41.235
<v Speaker 1>convinced himself that they are not lies. It may be

0:08:41.355 --> 0:08:46.475
<v Speaker 1>only temporary, but he believes that's true. Maybe he believes

0:08:46.475 --> 0:08:48.835
<v Speaker 1>it for half an hour, half a day. Who knows,

0:08:50.715 --> 0:08:53.395
<v Speaker 1>and what he needs is and it may be only

0:08:53.475 --> 0:08:57.275
<v Speaker 1>a temporary, fixed, temporary support, but inevitably he needs somebody

0:08:57.355 --> 0:09:01.915
<v Speaker 1>saying something to him about the subject, or he sees

0:09:01.955 --> 0:09:04.955
<v Speaker 1>something on Fox News, or he reads a post or

0:09:05.355 --> 0:09:08.755
<v Speaker 1>more importantly, looks at a meme on truth Social because

0:09:08.795 --> 0:09:12.435
<v Speaker 1>I'm not fully convinced he's literate, and that supplies him

0:09:12.435 --> 0:09:15.195
<v Speaker 1>anew with the bullshit. He needs to turn around and

0:09:15.235 --> 0:09:18.635
<v Speaker 1>try to sell these fantasies to the marks out there,

0:09:19.715 --> 0:09:24.315
<v Speaker 1>his supporters. So what happened here, or more correctly, who

0:09:24.435 --> 0:09:28.315
<v Speaker 1>lied to him and said something had happened with Maduro?

0:09:28.715 --> 0:09:32.755
<v Speaker 1>And that translated in his diseased dissolving cortex into we

0:09:32.875 --> 0:09:36.795
<v Speaker 1>caught them. That was also provided Tuesday by one of

0:09:36.795 --> 0:09:39.755
<v Speaker 1>those propaganda plants who have replaced about one third of

0:09:39.795 --> 0:09:43.115
<v Speaker 1>the journalists who are trotted in to read pre written

0:09:43.195 --> 0:09:46.515
<v Speaker 1>quote questions unquote, which are designed to get Trump to

0:09:46.595 --> 0:09:49.315
<v Speaker 1>remember that it is now time to roll out a

0:09:49.395 --> 0:09:54.835
<v Speaker 1>conspiracy theory slowly in advance, before later detonating the whole

0:09:54.915 --> 0:10:00.595
<v Speaker 1>megaton package of bullshit. This plant, and nobody yet connected

0:10:00.635 --> 0:10:04.475
<v Speaker 1>to the Trump disinformation complex, has ever been better described

0:10:04.515 --> 0:10:07.835
<v Speaker 1>by that word plant in all of its meetings. This

0:10:07.995 --> 0:10:11.755
<v Speaker 1>plant is named Kara Castro Nuova, and she is an

0:10:11.955 --> 0:10:15.915
<v Speaker 1>X boxer, not an IFC fighter, A real old fashioned

0:10:16.115 --> 0:10:20.035
<v Speaker 1>punch you in the face, cross eyed woman boxer whose

0:10:20.115 --> 0:10:24.155
<v Speaker 1>journalistic resume runs the entire gamut. I mean, listen to

0:10:24.275 --> 0:10:29.595
<v Speaker 1>this series of great experiences in news. She's gone from

0:10:29.755 --> 0:10:34.835
<v Speaker 1>NBC's Dieting Show, The Biggest Loser, to voice artistry work

0:10:34.875 --> 0:10:38.115
<v Speaker 1>on the video game Grand Theft Auto to her current

0:10:38.155 --> 0:10:43.955
<v Speaker 1>position White House correspondent for the Mike Lindell News TV

0:10:44.195 --> 0:10:52.195
<v Speaker 1>Network Pillow Talk. Laugh all you want, but this background,

0:10:52.395 --> 0:10:58.835
<v Speaker 1>with this background, Kara Castro Nueva is like, only two

0:10:58.875 --> 0:11:04.075
<v Speaker 1>notches down on the journalistic scoreboard from Barry Weiss and

0:11:04.195 --> 0:11:09.755
<v Speaker 1>only one notch down from Stephen A. Smith. Still, when

0:11:09.795 --> 0:11:13.275
<v Speaker 1>it was time for missus castro Nuova to deliver her

0:11:13.395 --> 0:11:16.675
<v Speaker 1>line about Maduro, to read it off a card in

0:11:16.715 --> 0:11:19.075
<v Speaker 1>front of her face or off of her phone, it

0:11:19.115 --> 0:11:22.275
<v Speaker 1>was hard to tell which. For somebody who could actually

0:11:22.875 --> 0:11:26.395
<v Speaker 1>go into Madison Square Garden and hit somebody else in

0:11:26.435 --> 0:11:30.355
<v Speaker 1>front of people in the face, she sure was terrified.

0:11:30.715 --> 0:11:33.675
<v Speaker 4>Thank you so much, President Trump. Kara Kastronova from Glyndell TV.

0:11:33.955 --> 0:11:37.635
<v Speaker 4>And you spoke earlier about the twenty twenty election. Now

0:11:37.715 --> 0:11:41.195
<v Speaker 4>that Maduro is in US custodying he was criminally charged,

0:11:41.435 --> 0:11:43.795
<v Speaker 4>has any more information emerged that you could share with

0:11:43.875 --> 0:11:48.315
<v Speaker 4>us regarding Venezuelan election software and Venezuelan ties to tampering

0:11:48.435 --> 0:11:51.275
<v Speaker 4>with the twenty twenty election? And would you consider speaking

0:11:51.315 --> 0:11:55.155
<v Speaker 4>to Maduro personally in prison in New York to get

0:11:55.155 --> 0:11:57.875
<v Speaker 4>some answers on Venezuela's involvement with the twenty twenty election.

0:11:58.115 --> 0:11:59.795
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't think I would be doing that.

0:11:59.875 --> 0:12:02.835
<v Speaker 3>I think my lawyership very unhappy.

0:12:01.515 --> 0:12:08.035
<v Speaker 1>If yeah, they've learned, they've learned something, So would Trump

0:12:08.075 --> 0:12:11.275
<v Speaker 1>go and talk to Maduro personally in jail about the

0:12:11.275 --> 0:12:15.635
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty election, like Jack Ruby wanting to meet with

0:12:15.675 --> 0:12:20.115
<v Speaker 1>the Supreme Court justices after the Kennedy assassination. No, no,

0:12:20.195 --> 0:12:24.955
<v Speaker 1>of course, not. Have Trump's scumbags already gone and talked

0:12:24.995 --> 0:12:29.435
<v Speaker 1>to Maduro personally about the twenty twenty election. Sure, and

0:12:29.515 --> 0:12:35.555
<v Speaker 1>Trump says they've learned some things. And as you heard earlier,

0:12:36.555 --> 0:12:41.275
<v Speaker 1>we caught them. It's not hard to construct the rest

0:12:41.275 --> 0:12:43.275
<v Speaker 1>of this in your own mind. You don't really need

0:12:43.355 --> 0:12:46.955
<v Speaker 1>me for this part. They proceed with the prosecution of Maduro,

0:12:47.555 --> 0:12:50.195
<v Speaker 1>and then Trump produces a few more shots across Joe

0:12:50.275 --> 0:12:54.355
<v Speaker 1>Biden's bow. He hinted at prosecuting Biden last week for

0:12:54.475 --> 0:12:59.195
<v Speaker 1>what he suggested was illegally being president, and he's hinted

0:12:59.275 --> 0:13:02.115
<v Speaker 1>again this week. Quote Biden and the radical left thugs

0:13:02.115 --> 0:13:04.835
<v Speaker 1>that surrounded the resolution desk in the Oval Office, and

0:13:04.875 --> 0:13:07.235
<v Speaker 1>of course the illegal use of the auto pen. They

0:13:07.275 --> 0:13:13.355
<v Speaker 1>should be in jail, as we know, those posts and

0:13:13.635 --> 0:13:18.035
<v Speaker 1>memos to Pam Bondi are interchangeable. And oh, by the way,

0:13:18.035 --> 0:13:20.395
<v Speaker 1>it's the resolute desk, Grandpa.

0:13:20.555 --> 0:13:25.075
<v Speaker 3>We are thousands of miles away, separated by a giant ocean.

0:13:26.515 --> 0:13:28.795
<v Speaker 3>It's a war that should have never started, and it

0:13:28.835 --> 0:13:32.835
<v Speaker 3>wouldn't have started if the twenty twenty US presidential election

0:13:32.955 --> 0:13:35.675
<v Speaker 3>weren't rigged. It was a rigged election. Everybody now knows

0:13:35.715 --> 0:13:40.075
<v Speaker 3>that they found out. People will soon be prosecuted for

0:13:40.155 --> 0:13:45.275
<v Speaker 3>what they did. It's probably breaking news, but it should be.

0:13:45.435 --> 0:13:48.115
<v Speaker 3>It's a rigged election. Can't have rigged elections.

0:13:48.555 --> 0:13:51.875
<v Speaker 1>So first he softens up the field with some more

0:13:52.195 --> 0:13:56.075
<v Speaker 1>not so veiled threats against Biden and his administration. Then

0:13:56.075 --> 0:13:59.515
<v Speaker 1>at some point there is a bombshell leak that Maduro

0:13:59.635 --> 0:14:03.675
<v Speaker 1>is ready to confess that he has information vital to

0:14:04.715 --> 0:14:08.115
<v Speaker 1>and the QAN on about the twenty twenty election, and

0:14:08.195 --> 0:14:11.355
<v Speaker 1>a wave of panic sweeps through magaland that they're gonna

0:14:11.395 --> 0:14:15.035
<v Speaker 1>epstein him in present, and by epstein, I mean suicide him,

0:14:14.995 --> 0:14:17.115
<v Speaker 1>I don't mean Trump breaking the law and covering up

0:14:17.155 --> 0:14:19.835
<v Speaker 1>all the Maduro documents that he was required to release

0:14:19.835 --> 0:14:23.275
<v Speaker 1>a month ago, like all the Epstein documents. And then

0:14:23.275 --> 0:14:27.515
<v Speaker 1>there's some kind of in jail interview. Martha McCallum would

0:14:27.515 --> 0:14:31.355
<v Speaker 1>be okay, Tony de Koppel would be better. Of course,

0:14:31.395 --> 0:14:35.795
<v Speaker 1>he might be working for Mike Lindel TV by then anyway,

0:14:35.795 --> 0:14:38.955
<v Speaker 1>finally there is a congressional hearing. James Comer would be nice,

0:14:39.035 --> 0:14:42.315
<v Speaker 1>Jim Jordan would be better, and then presto chango. Maduro

0:14:42.355 --> 0:14:45.955
<v Speaker 1>either gets pardoned. Remember the joke when they kidnapped him.

0:14:46.115 --> 0:14:48.835
<v Speaker 1>Maduro should just go into court the first minute and

0:14:48.875 --> 0:14:52.315
<v Speaker 1>say what are the charges? Then say I plead guilty,

0:14:52.555 --> 0:14:54.715
<v Speaker 1>then say, in the same breath, Okay, so I'm a

0:14:54.795 --> 0:14:59.315
<v Speaker 1>drug dealer, where's my pardon? Trump? Maduro gets pardoned, or

0:14:59.355 --> 0:15:02.235
<v Speaker 1>his sentence gets reduced to time served, or they give

0:15:02.275 --> 0:15:06.555
<v Speaker 1>him his own island somewhere, or or this is the

0:15:06.555 --> 0:15:15.795
<v Speaker 1>CBS Evening News with Nicholas Maduro. Okay, I maybe getting

0:15:15.835 --> 0:15:20.435
<v Speaker 1>carried away here, but this is the next scam. Whether

0:15:20.555 --> 0:15:23.755
<v Speaker 1>it is of any practical use or not is debatable,

0:15:24.115 --> 0:15:26.395
<v Speaker 1>But no matter the answer, it is essential that Trump

0:15:26.435 --> 0:15:31.195
<v Speaker 1>convinces everybody he really won because of yet another version

0:15:31.235 --> 0:15:37.235
<v Speaker 1>of our old friend Annosagnosia. The thought that somewhere somebody

0:15:37.275 --> 0:15:40.835
<v Speaker 1>believes he lost. Truly, two hundred and fifty two hundred

0:15:40.835 --> 0:15:44.995
<v Speaker 1>and seventy five million Americans believe that at least, but

0:15:45.035 --> 0:15:48.835
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't believe that either. The thought that anybody believes

0:15:48.835 --> 0:15:51.995
<v Speaker 1>he's a loser, that they laugh at him about twenty twenty.

0:15:52.155 --> 0:15:58.035
<v Speaker 1>This is intolerable to Trump still forever it is unfixable.

0:15:59.835 --> 0:16:02.395
<v Speaker 1>He will die and his last thought will be about

0:16:02.395 --> 0:16:07.275
<v Speaker 1>the twenty twenty election. But the point now to our

0:16:07.315 --> 0:16:09.595
<v Speaker 1>purposes right now is that no matter what Trump has

0:16:09.595 --> 0:16:13.555
<v Speaker 1>accomplished in the last year of hell, and as impossible

0:16:13.595 --> 0:16:16.555
<v Speaker 1>as this sounds, there is some comfort to the reality

0:16:16.595 --> 0:16:21.115
<v Speaker 1>that his hell has been worse than ours because he

0:16:21.275 --> 0:16:26.835
<v Speaker 1>is so deeply mentally disturbed, and the thought that people

0:16:27.355 --> 0:16:32.195
<v Speaker 1>repudiated him, that he did not defeat an opponent, that.

0:16:32.195 --> 0:16:42.195
<v Speaker 5>He lost an election is always there, waiting to blank

0:16:42.275 --> 0:16:45.035
<v Speaker 5>out the vision of life in front of him. It's

0:16:45.155 --> 0:16:51.195
<v Speaker 5>always there to ruin even his most evil fun And

0:16:51.235 --> 0:16:56.555
<v Speaker 5>so we had the Zelensky bullshit of twenty nineteen, and

0:16:56.635 --> 0:16:58.875
<v Speaker 5>I think what we learned this week is we are

0:16:59.035 --> 0:17:03.555
<v Speaker 5>probably going to have the Maduro bullshit of twenty twenty six.

0:17:28.035 --> 0:17:30.315
<v Speaker 5>Now I should go back to my original premise here

0:17:30.315 --> 0:17:35.835
<v Speaker 5>that he cannot continue as president once again. No shit, Keith, Well,

0:17:35.955 --> 0:17:39.235
<v Speaker 5>you really stayed up nights thinking about that one. How

0:17:39.235 --> 0:17:42.475
<v Speaker 5>to fix this when there are still only motives for

0:17:42.555 --> 0:17:45.795
<v Speaker 5>his enablers to keep him there and there are as

0:17:45.875 --> 0:17:48.275
<v Speaker 5>yet no real motives for them to get him out

0:17:48.275 --> 0:17:51.595
<v Speaker 5>of there. I still don't know. I saw a member

0:17:51.635 --> 0:17:55.475
<v Speaker 5>of the British House of Lords ask in public when

0:17:56.195 --> 0:17:59.115
<v Speaker 5>Trump's Republican supporters would turn on him. This was a

0:17:59.195 --> 0:18:06.755
<v Speaker 5>conservative British peer, the upper crust of the Conservatives, the

0:18:06.875 --> 0:18:10.315
<v Speaker 5>sons and grandsons of the guys who wanted to make

0:18:10.315 --> 0:18:15.275
<v Speaker 5>a deal with Hitler. And he thinks the Republicans will

0:18:15.315 --> 0:18:18.275
<v Speaker 5>eventually turn on Trump and are about to do it. Well,

0:18:18.315 --> 0:18:22.395
<v Speaker 5>why you turn on him? And if you succeed and

0:18:22.395 --> 0:18:26.155
<v Speaker 5>he's out of power, he can't pardon you. If you

0:18:26.235 --> 0:18:29.715
<v Speaker 5>turn on him, you lose your power, probably immediately. You

0:18:29.995 --> 0:18:32.835
<v Speaker 5>lose your seat in Congress or the Senate or wherever

0:18:32.875 --> 0:18:35.395
<v Speaker 5>else you are. If you turn on him, you lose

0:18:35.435 --> 0:18:37.955
<v Speaker 5>all the money that is being siphoned to you, all

0:18:37.995 --> 0:18:40.635
<v Speaker 5>the stock tips you get in advance, all the access

0:18:40.675 --> 0:18:43.115
<v Speaker 5>to pardons for your friends. If you turn on him,

0:18:43.235 --> 0:18:50.155
<v Speaker 5>the Epstein files are released, possibly before nightfall. So no,

0:18:50.555 --> 0:18:53.475
<v Speaker 5>I'm sorry, I don't have a fix yet. I don't

0:18:53.475 --> 0:18:56.555
<v Speaker 5>know when this became my personal responsibility, but nobody else

0:18:56.555 --> 0:18:58.955
<v Speaker 5>seems to be interested in trying to solve it. But

0:18:59.275 --> 0:19:02.275
<v Speaker 5>I do have an endless supply of analogies, and that

0:19:02.355 --> 0:19:05.035
<v Speaker 5>thing Tuesday, other than the Maduro part, was like watching

0:19:05.035 --> 0:19:08.595
<v Speaker 5>a movie length version of an all time classic Saturday

0:19:08.635 --> 0:19:11.635
<v Speaker 5>Night Live sketch that might be before your time. The

0:19:11.675 --> 0:19:19.555
<v Speaker 5>great Dan Ackroid in full six foot tall giant bosomie attire,

0:19:20.355 --> 0:19:26.355
<v Speaker 5>portraying the French chef the famed Julia Child on PBS.

0:19:26.075 --> 0:19:29.555
<v Speaker 3>Who talked like this save a Liver.

0:19:30.595 --> 0:19:35.155
<v Speaker 1>Only he portrayed her having just sliced up chicken and

0:19:35.315 --> 0:19:41.555
<v Speaker 1>accidentally cutting her wrist and bleeding unbelievably profusely and quickly

0:19:41.555 --> 0:19:44.075
<v Speaker 1>beginning to pass out from loss of blood, all while

0:19:44.235 --> 0:19:46.955
<v Speaker 1>still trying to continue her show and her cooking lesson.

0:19:48.075 --> 0:19:53.435
<v Speaker 1>Ackroyd begins to almost sing save the Liver, Save and

0:19:53.595 --> 0:19:57.395
<v Speaker 1>bounce from topic to topic to topic, and he she

0:19:58.035 --> 0:20:02.675
<v Speaker 1>ends up with, I remember when I was a little.

0:20:02.315 --> 0:20:07.435
<v Speaker 5>Girl and my mother I said to me, we.

0:20:07.395 --> 0:20:10.635
<v Speaker 2>Had a place called Creedmore Creed more than anybody know

0:20:10.755 --> 0:20:14.115
<v Speaker 2>that Creed Moore, who was a big I said, Mom,

0:20:14.995 --> 0:20:17.435
<v Speaker 2>why are those bars on the building? I used to

0:20:17.475 --> 0:20:21.635
<v Speaker 2>play little league baseball there at the place called Cunningham Park.

0:20:23.395 --> 0:20:26.555
<v Speaker 2>Who's quite the baseball player you wouldn't believe, But I

0:20:26.635 --> 0:20:30.795
<v Speaker 2>said to my mother. Mom, she would be there, always

0:20:30.835 --> 0:20:33.235
<v Speaker 2>there for me. She said, son, you could be a

0:20:33.315 --> 0:20:37.075
<v Speaker 2>professional baseball player. I said, thanks, Mom, I said, why

0:20:37.075 --> 0:20:38.915
<v Speaker 2>are those bars on the windows?

0:20:39.835 --> 0:20:43.475
<v Speaker 3>Big building, big powerful.

0:20:42.955 --> 0:20:46.795
<v Speaker 1>Building, everything but save the liver. Thank you, Julia Child. Trump,

0:20:47.795 --> 0:20:54.275
<v Speaker 1>baseball and insane asylums. By the way, exhaustive studies of

0:20:54.315 --> 0:20:57.915
<v Speaker 1>the surviving box scores from Trump's three years as the

0:20:57.955 --> 0:21:01.675
<v Speaker 1>first basement at NIMA, the New York Military Academy. He

0:21:01.755 --> 0:21:05.395
<v Speaker 1>went there instead of to reform school show that this

0:21:05.635 --> 0:21:09.035
<v Speaker 1>future Hall of famer mommy told him so had a

0:21:09.075 --> 0:21:15.275
<v Speaker 1>high school career batting average of one thirty eight. I

0:21:15.315 --> 0:21:20.875
<v Speaker 1>mean that's less than mine. The rest of Trump's brain

0:21:21.195 --> 0:21:24.235
<v Speaker 1>bleeding out, like Acroyd's version of Julia Child, was reflected

0:21:24.275 --> 0:21:27.515
<v Speaker 1>in his overnight social media dump that preceded that press conference,

0:21:27.675 --> 0:21:31.035
<v Speaker 1>leaking the text from Emmanuel Macron and NATO's Secretary General

0:21:31.075 --> 0:21:33.435
<v Speaker 1>Mark Rute and retweeting the guy who said the real

0:21:33.555 --> 0:21:36.555
<v Speaker 1>enemy is NATO and the UN and that Greenland meme

0:21:36.635 --> 0:21:39.315
<v Speaker 1>and the Greenland Canada meme and the threat to tear

0:21:39.515 --> 0:21:42.835
<v Speaker 1>French wines if Trump doesn't get Macron to pony up

0:21:42.875 --> 0:21:45.675
<v Speaker 1>a billion dollars to jump to Trump's new alternate un

0:21:45.715 --> 0:21:48.715
<v Speaker 1>the Legion of Doom or whatever he's calling it, and

0:21:48.795 --> 0:21:50.995
<v Speaker 1>his insistence that he doesn't care about the Nobel but

0:21:51.035 --> 0:21:53.755
<v Speaker 1>Norway does fix the Nobel Prizes And isn't it too

0:21:53.755 --> 0:21:56.555
<v Speaker 1>bad there are too many insane killers around you that

0:21:56.635 --> 0:21:59.915
<v Speaker 1>you can't talk to. Does he own a mirror? And

0:21:59.955 --> 0:22:03.235
<v Speaker 1>then the only one that really mattered? Whereas if we

0:22:03.315 --> 0:22:05.995
<v Speaker 1>needed a reminder that it is not that Trump does

0:22:06.035 --> 0:22:09.315
<v Speaker 1>not feel anything for other people, it is that Trump

0:22:09.435 --> 0:22:13.955
<v Speaker 1>cannot really process the idea that there are other people

0:22:14.835 --> 0:22:18.475
<v Speaker 1>on this planet and that there are things in their

0:22:18.595 --> 0:22:23.995
<v Speaker 1>lives that have nothing to do with Trump. Renee Good's wife,

0:22:24.195 --> 0:22:28.435
<v Speaker 1>per Trump, is a liar who never cared about her.

0:22:28.555 --> 0:22:31.715
<v Speaker 1>Didn't care about her as she watched her being murdered

0:22:32.075 --> 0:22:35.315
<v Speaker 1>by an ice thug. No no, no no, It was

0:22:35.355 --> 0:22:37.875
<v Speaker 1>clear because she sang like an opera singer, like a

0:22:37.875 --> 0:22:42.595
<v Speaker 1>professional opera singer, so loud, a professional agitator who did

0:22:42.635 --> 0:22:46.435
<v Speaker 1>not respond the right way according to Trump, to witnessing

0:22:46.475 --> 0:22:49.675
<v Speaker 1>her wife being murdered, didn't have the right kind of pain,

0:22:49.835 --> 0:22:53.675
<v Speaker 1>according to Donald Trump, when street thugs working for Donald

0:22:53.675 --> 0:22:59.275
<v Speaker 1>Trump killed Renee Good, but Renee Good's father he's important

0:22:59.315 --> 0:23:04.515
<v Speaker 1>here because Renee Good's father is a Trump.

0:23:05.435 --> 0:23:11.595
<v Speaker 2>When she was shot, there was another woman that was screaming, shame, shame, shame, shame. Right,

0:23:11.755 --> 0:23:17.075
<v Speaker 2>he said, so loud, like a professional opera singer. She

0:23:17.155 --> 0:23:20.395
<v Speaker 2>was so loud and so professional.

0:23:21.355 --> 0:23:21.995
<v Speaker 3>She wasn't a.

0:23:21.915 --> 0:23:25.795
<v Speaker 2>Woman that was hurt, like, oh my heart's injured. She

0:23:25.915 --> 0:23:31.795
<v Speaker 2>was a professionals. Shame shame. She's screaming, shame shap I said,

0:23:31.835 --> 0:23:35.995
<v Speaker 2>that's not a normal person. That's that's a professional. These

0:23:36.035 --> 0:23:39.355
<v Speaker 2>are professional agitators and professional people that want to see

0:23:39.355 --> 0:23:42.435
<v Speaker 2>our country do badly. I felt horribly when I was

0:23:42.475 --> 0:23:48.115
<v Speaker 2>told that the young woman who was I had the tragedy.

0:23:48.195 --> 0:23:50.675
<v Speaker 2>It's a tragedy. It's a horrible thing. Everybody would say

0:23:50.755 --> 0:23:54.595
<v Speaker 2>Ice would say the same thing. But when I learned

0:23:54.635 --> 0:23:59.795
<v Speaker 2>her her parents, and her father in particular is like, I.

0:23:59.715 --> 0:24:01.155
<v Speaker 3>Hope he still is, but I don't know.

0:24:02.155 --> 0:24:06.315
<v Speaker 2>Was a tremendous Trump fan, was all for Trump, loved Trump,

0:24:07.675 --> 0:24:12.875
<v Speaker 2>and you know, it's terrible. I was told that by

0:24:12.875 --> 0:24:14.915
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people. They said, oh, he loves you.

0:24:14.995 --> 0:24:16.795
<v Speaker 1>He was hoped.

0:24:17.115 --> 0:24:19.355
<v Speaker 3>I hope he still feels that way. And I sorry,

0:24:19.755 --> 0:24:20.555
<v Speaker 3>hard situation.

0:24:20.675 --> 0:24:24.875
<v Speaker 2>But her father was a tremendous and parents for tremendous

0:24:25.155 --> 0:24:25.955
<v Speaker 2>Trump fans.

0:24:27.035 --> 0:24:29.315
<v Speaker 1>And so there is the true lesson of Trump's invasion

0:24:29.355 --> 0:24:32.675
<v Speaker 1>of Minnesota, his terrorism against that state and its people,

0:24:32.875 --> 0:24:37.315
<v Speaker 1>his white trash racism towards Somali Americans, the evolution of

0:24:37.355 --> 0:24:41.635
<v Speaker 1>his white trash racism towards African Americans when Trump and

0:24:41.675 --> 0:24:45.195
<v Speaker 1>his white trash father were prosecuted for it by the

0:24:45.275 --> 0:24:49.235
<v Speaker 1>Nixon administration in nineteen seventy three. There is the true

0:24:49.315 --> 0:24:53.115
<v Speaker 1>lesson of ICE's refusal to pay medical bills for the

0:24:53.155 --> 0:24:57.115
<v Speaker 1>injuries and illnesses its gestapo has inflicted on our neighbors

0:24:57.235 --> 0:25:00.915
<v Speaker 1>and our friends and our citizens, the true lesson of

0:25:00.955 --> 0:25:03.435
<v Speaker 1>the laws that were supposed to protect those people, and

0:25:03.555 --> 0:25:07.355
<v Speaker 1>usu lesson of the fact that the FBI found cause

0:25:07.435 --> 0:25:09.795
<v Speaker 1>to investigate the murder of Renee Good, but dropped it

0:25:09.835 --> 0:25:12.315
<v Speaker 1>so the Department of Justice could instead keep the focus

0:25:12.435 --> 0:25:15.555
<v Speaker 1>on trying to prosecute Mayor Fry and Governor Walls for

0:25:15.635 --> 0:25:21.435
<v Speaker 1>what they said about Ice. For what you may say

0:25:21.475 --> 0:25:24.315
<v Speaker 1>next about Ice or anything else Trump doesn't like you saying.

0:25:25.595 --> 0:25:28.555
<v Speaker 1>Therein lies the true lesson of all the horrors that

0:25:28.595 --> 0:25:30.835
<v Speaker 1>have played out, thanks holly to the madness of the

0:25:30.955 --> 0:25:34.915
<v Speaker 1>terrorist Donald John Trump, we discover that the true lesson,

0:25:34.955 --> 0:25:38.515
<v Speaker 1>the true tragedy, the true crisis, is something else altogether.

0:25:38.755 --> 0:25:44.315
<v Speaker 1>That the true victim here is Trump, because the woman

0:25:44.395 --> 0:25:47.915
<v Speaker 1>he murdered by proxy was the daughter of one of

0:25:47.955 --> 0:25:53.515
<v Speaker 1>his fans. And the unbelievable, the unbearable may now happen

0:25:54.155 --> 0:26:02.355
<v Speaker 1>to Trump. Her father may for some reason not be

0:26:02.515 --> 0:26:16.955
<v Speaker 1>a Trump fan. More in passing congrats to the Vice

0:26:16.995 --> 0:26:19.915
<v Speaker 1>President and the Second Lady of the United States, JB.

0:26:20.115 --> 0:26:24.835
<v Speaker 1>And Usha Vance. The latter, the second lady, I have

0:26:24.995 --> 0:26:28.995
<v Speaker 1>only now learned. I was this many days old when

0:26:29.035 --> 0:26:32.555
<v Speaker 1>I found out that the Vice President's wife goes by

0:26:32.595 --> 0:26:41.875
<v Speaker 1>the unfortunate acronym of slot us slowtus. How slow is

0:26:41.915 --> 0:26:48.995
<v Speaker 1>she exactly? Slottus? Who you call on a slot? Well, anyway,

0:26:49.155 --> 0:26:52.355
<v Speaker 1>my congratulations because they have a fourth child on the way,

0:26:52.635 --> 0:26:57.475
<v Speaker 1>And my congratulations particularly to missus Vance. Your couch motif

0:26:57.675 --> 0:27:06.275
<v Speaker 1>lingerie has worked yet again. Oh the pillows also of

0:27:06.315 --> 0:27:08.715
<v Speaker 1>interest here. So you'd think if you'd been on TV

0:27:08.875 --> 0:27:11.675
<v Speaker 1>doing the news for an hour or more every night

0:27:11.755 --> 0:27:13.715
<v Speaker 1>for nearly a quarter of a century, and you were

0:27:13.715 --> 0:27:16.275
<v Speaker 1>on a network that was once widely thought to be

0:27:16.355 --> 0:27:18.955
<v Speaker 1>liberal and once widely thought to be anti Trump and

0:27:18.995 --> 0:27:23.035
<v Speaker 1>once widely watched that you would not react with a condescending,

0:27:23.355 --> 0:27:28.195
<v Speaker 1>disbelieving smirk when a sitting United States Senator finally came

0:27:28.235 --> 0:27:32.115
<v Speaker 1>out and said to you, Trump is insane. You might

0:27:32.275 --> 0:27:37.515
<v Speaker 1>think that, then again, you are not Anderson Effing Cooper.

0:27:38.475 --> 0:27:42.555
<v Speaker 1>That idiot is next. This is an all new episode

0:27:43.035 --> 0:28:09.555
<v Speaker 1>of Countdown. This is Countdown with Keith Alberman still ahead

0:28:09.595 --> 0:28:12.275
<v Speaker 1>on this all new edition of Countdown. This time of year,

0:28:12.555 --> 0:28:18.275
<v Speaker 1>just forty nine years ago, and I am at LaGuardia

0:28:18.355 --> 0:28:21.955
<v Speaker 1>Airport in New York about to board a flight along

0:28:21.955 --> 0:28:24.875
<v Speaker 1>with the president of Corneill University. And that's when I

0:28:25.115 --> 0:28:30.115
<v Speaker 1>and I alone look out the window towards where the

0:28:30.155 --> 0:28:32.515
<v Speaker 1>plane is parked, and I notice they are trying to

0:28:32.555 --> 0:28:40.355
<v Speaker 1>repair the undercarriage with paper towels, paper towels that they

0:28:40.355 --> 0:28:46.155
<v Speaker 1>are stuffing up into the underside of the craft. I

0:28:46.195 --> 0:28:51.675
<v Speaker 1>swear next, in Things I promised not to tell first

0:28:51.675 --> 0:28:53.635
<v Speaker 1>of believe it or not, there's still more new idiots

0:28:53.675 --> 0:28:55.835
<v Speaker 1>to talk about. The roundup of the miscrants, morons and

0:28:55.915 --> 0:29:01.435
<v Speaker 1>Dunning Kruger effects specimens who constitute today's other worst persons

0:29:02.475 --> 0:29:08.475
<v Speaker 1>in the world's worse the NFL Buffalo Bills, Chapter one

0:29:08.595 --> 0:29:11.955
<v Speaker 1>hundred and seventeen of the punishment that is being the

0:29:11.995 --> 0:29:15.755
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo Bills. They lose their NFL playoff game thirty three

0:29:15.795 --> 0:29:19.275
<v Speaker 1>to thirty to the Denver Broncos. Then the next morning

0:29:19.395 --> 0:29:23.075
<v Speaker 1>they fired their head coach, and then the screw ups

0:29:23.155 --> 0:29:29.275
<v Speaker 1>began their posted press release begins. The Buffalo Bills announced

0:29:29.315 --> 0:29:31.755
<v Speaker 1>that Sean McDermott has been relieved of his duties as

0:29:31.795 --> 0:29:35.435
<v Speaker 1>head coach, and then they launched into the obligatory oh

0:29:35.515 --> 0:29:40.275
<v Speaker 1>but we still love him from owner Terry Pagoula and

0:29:40.395 --> 0:29:45.515
<v Speaker 1>Terry Bakula's quote is, Sean has done an admiral job

0:29:46.235 --> 0:29:50.475
<v Speaker 1>of leading our football team. Sean has done an admiral

0:29:50.675 --> 0:29:58.675
<v Speaker 1>job of leading our football team. II MATI. If your

0:29:58.835 --> 0:30:04.715
<v Speaker 1>owner thinks the adjective is admiral not admirable, the the

0:30:04.795 --> 0:30:10.755
<v Speaker 1>problem isn't the coach. And if your owner still hasn't

0:30:10.835 --> 0:30:16.315
<v Speaker 1>had the post with the typo deleted like three days later,

0:30:17.235 --> 0:30:27.075
<v Speaker 1>the problem isn't going to be fixed. Admiral I spoke

0:30:27.195 --> 0:30:30.795
<v Speaker 1>straight ahead. The runner up worser labor Secretary Laurie Chavez

0:30:30.875 --> 0:30:35.995
<v Speaker 1>Dureamer going down with her ship or something under investigation

0:30:36.075 --> 0:30:39.195
<v Speaker 1>by the Inspector General in her department, who is a

0:30:39.275 --> 0:30:43.955
<v Speaker 1>former Republican congressman. Now you may remember Chavez Dureamer from

0:30:43.995 --> 0:30:48.515
<v Speaker 1>her proclamation that she was elected Labor secretary. Somebody has

0:30:48.595 --> 0:30:51.515
<v Speaker 1>to explain the elections to her, and her later decision

0:30:51.555 --> 0:30:55.075
<v Speaker 1>to hang a giant Kim Jong unstyle building sized banner

0:30:55.115 --> 0:30:59.235
<v Speaker 1>of Trump from the top of the Labor Department headquarters. Well,

0:30:59.675 --> 0:31:02.075
<v Speaker 1>it turns out she's had time to do other things

0:31:03.155 --> 0:31:07.835
<v Speaker 1>like one of this is in her own office, allegedly

0:31:07.875 --> 0:31:10.155
<v Speaker 1>an affair with somebody who works for her in the

0:31:10.195 --> 0:31:16.075
<v Speaker 1>Department of Labor, and telling her office leaders to fabricate

0:31:16.195 --> 0:31:20.275
<v Speaker 1>quote unofficial or rather official unquote trips to make it

0:31:20.355 --> 0:31:24.595
<v Speaker 1>look like these gallivantings where their bow were actually listening

0:31:24.715 --> 0:31:29.715
<v Speaker 1>tours about labor issues nationally, labor issues in places such

0:31:29.715 --> 0:31:35.715
<v Speaker 1>as the Angels Strip club outside Portland. But that's not

0:31:35.875 --> 0:31:40.275
<v Speaker 1>why she's on the list. I don't judge people here

0:31:41.155 --> 0:31:43.875
<v Speaker 1>more than once a minute. I don't judge people here.

0:31:44.075 --> 0:31:47.515
<v Speaker 1>And remember, every moment that a Trump cabinet family member

0:31:48.195 --> 0:31:51.995
<v Speaker 1>is breaking his or her marital oath is one last

0:31:51.995 --> 0:31:57.315
<v Speaker 1>moment they are spending screwing the country. No, she wins

0:31:57.355 --> 0:32:01.195
<v Speaker 1>the silver because Secretary Lorie chavezder Riemer's attorney is named

0:32:01.875 --> 0:32:10.315
<v Speaker 1>doctor Nick Oberheiden. Her lawyer is doctor Nick like from

0:32:10.395 --> 0:32:15.675
<v Speaker 1>the Simpsons, Hi everybody but doctor Nick as a lawyer,

0:32:16.115 --> 0:32:20.875
<v Speaker 1>So he's half Doctor Nick and half Lionel Huts. What

0:32:21.035 --> 0:32:26.395
<v Speaker 1>could possibly go wrong? But the winner worst a tie

0:32:26.675 --> 0:32:28.675
<v Speaker 1>and it's two people who belong together as two of

0:32:28.715 --> 0:32:33.155
<v Speaker 1>the most overrated journalists of the generation. We start with

0:32:34.275 --> 0:32:37.355
<v Speaker 1>one a Jim Vanda Hih, co founder of Politico, a

0:32:37.395 --> 0:32:40.795
<v Speaker 1>co founder of Axios, and obviously already heading to hell

0:32:41.275 --> 0:32:44.315
<v Speaker 1>for those two accomplishments. But as the nation dissolves around

0:32:44.395 --> 0:32:48.475
<v Speaker 1>him and politics becomes nothing but insanity, bribery, violence, and cowardice,

0:32:48.635 --> 0:32:51.315
<v Speaker 1>Jim Vanda Hih has his finger on the pulse of

0:32:51.355 --> 0:32:57.035
<v Speaker 1>America in crisis. He posts quote Axios quiz. Nearly twenty

0:32:57.035 --> 0:33:00.915
<v Speaker 1>democrats viewed as possible twenty twenty eight contenders on trans

0:33:01.075 --> 0:33:04.915
<v Speaker 1>rights almost all ducked it. We asked, what is your

0:33:04.915 --> 0:33:07.715
<v Speaker 1>response to the question can a man become a woman?

0:33:08.555 --> 0:33:14.035
<v Speaker 1>Ram the rare dim to speak bluntly, there it is

0:33:14.955 --> 0:33:19.555
<v Speaker 1>the pressing question of our time, and I guess it

0:33:19.675 --> 0:33:22.515
<v Speaker 1>was asked simply in order to be able to write

0:33:22.635 --> 0:33:25.955
<v Speaker 1>that seeming throwaway at the end, ROM the rare dem

0:33:25.955 --> 0:33:30.595
<v Speaker 1>to speak bluntly. Rom, since you probably don't know, is

0:33:30.755 --> 0:33:36.635
<v Speaker 1>Rom Immanuel Clinton and Obama B list staffer, the forgotten

0:33:36.675 --> 0:33:39.555
<v Speaker 1>former mayor of Chicago and one of the new crop

0:33:39.635 --> 0:33:42.875
<v Speaker 1>of those like Stephen A. Smith suffering from the disease

0:33:42.995 --> 0:33:45.875
<v Speaker 1>known as sure nobody knows who the fi am, but

0:33:45.915 --> 0:33:48.035
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to be president next time. I swear I

0:33:48.115 --> 0:33:54.875
<v Speaker 1>swear president no of America. And he spoke bluntly about

0:33:55.275 --> 0:33:58.555
<v Speaker 1>the decisive issue of the twenty twenty eight primaries in general,

0:33:59.075 --> 0:34:02.555
<v Speaker 1>which is how you answer possibly the dumbest of all

0:34:02.635 --> 0:34:07.555
<v Speaker 1>the magus smeary talking points. Had to find something they

0:34:07.555 --> 0:34:10.115
<v Speaker 1>could compliment Rob Manuel about, and that's what it was.

0:34:10.715 --> 0:34:13.195
<v Speaker 1>Sharing honors with the guy who made this crap up,

0:34:13.275 --> 0:34:17.475
<v Speaker 1>Jim Vanda High. Somebody from a very rare category journalists.

0:34:17.755 --> 0:34:22.595
<v Speaker 1>Even more overrated than Jim Vanda High CNN's Anderson Cooper.

0:34:23.675 --> 0:34:27.435
<v Speaker 1>Now in year twenty five of the world's longest running

0:34:27.795 --> 0:34:32.755
<v Speaker 1>failed marketing campaign, millions and millions of dollars have been

0:34:32.795 --> 0:34:37.355
<v Speaker 1>spent by owner after owner after owner of CNN to

0:34:37.555 --> 0:34:41.835
<v Speaker 1>make him America's newsman, and he has still never won

0:34:42.275 --> 0:34:47.155
<v Speaker 1>his own time slot in cable. He still never actually

0:34:47.235 --> 0:34:51.715
<v Speaker 1>produced a commentary or even an observation that you can remember.

0:34:53.915 --> 0:34:56.475
<v Speaker 1>I admit he's gone to a lot of crises and

0:34:56.475 --> 0:35:00.275
<v Speaker 1>and done crisis porn, and his eyes have always matched

0:35:00.315 --> 0:35:05.515
<v Speaker 1>his bulletproof vest. But his greatest ac pomplishment to date

0:35:05.555 --> 0:35:08.875
<v Speaker 1>is getting drunk on New Year's even giggling. I mean

0:35:08.915 --> 0:35:13.795
<v Speaker 1>it is, Although the remark that brings him onto this

0:35:13.835 --> 0:35:16.475
<v Speaker 1>list alongside Jim Vanda I is somewhere among his top

0:35:16.515 --> 0:35:20.635
<v Speaker 1>ten failures. Are you ready? Cooper on CNN praises European

0:35:20.715 --> 0:35:24.675
<v Speaker 1>leaders for looking for an off ramp with Trump about Greenland,

0:35:25.395 --> 0:35:29.035
<v Speaker 1>and then asks Senator Reuben Diego if he really thinks

0:35:29.075 --> 0:35:32.715
<v Speaker 1>there is such an off rant and Diego letter rip.

0:35:33.315 --> 0:35:37.115
<v Speaker 1>Diego replies, quote, No, I've been very clear. He is

0:35:37.155 --> 0:35:41.635
<v Speaker 1>a madman. He is insane. He's only thinking about himself. Hey,

0:35:42.355 --> 0:35:46.075
<v Speaker 1>At which point Cooper interrupts. Cooper screws up his face.

0:35:46.675 --> 0:35:49.235
<v Speaker 1>Cooper gives him that I really need to get my

0:35:49.395 --> 0:35:52.475
<v Speaker 1>eyes examined, looked. I can't see anything with these glasses.

0:35:52.675 --> 0:35:54.875
<v Speaker 1>Is that my car on fire in the parking lot?

0:35:55.635 --> 0:36:00.555
<v Speaker 1>You know that? Look? Whereupon Anderson Cooper then says, shocked,

0:36:00.835 --> 0:36:03.715
<v Speaker 1>as if it has never occurred, not just to him,

0:36:03.795 --> 0:36:06.235
<v Speaker 1>but it has never to anybody in the history of

0:36:06.235 --> 0:36:11.595
<v Speaker 1>the world before quote, you really think he's insane? Diego

0:36:11.675 --> 0:36:16.715
<v Speaker 1>interrupts back, Yes, I'm sorry. Where are we at this

0:36:16.835 --> 0:36:19.355
<v Speaker 1>moment that we don't understand what's happening in this country.

0:36:19.835 --> 0:36:23.275
<v Speaker 1>He is not rational right now. None of this is rational.

0:36:23.595 --> 0:36:28.035
<v Speaker 1>Everyone needs to stop pretending this is rational, so Diego,

0:36:28.115 --> 0:36:31.595
<v Speaker 1>even after being interrupted by this idiot, Anderson Cooper gives

0:36:31.635 --> 0:36:35.595
<v Speaker 1>him a perfect chance to redeem himself, to come back

0:36:35.835 --> 0:36:38.795
<v Speaker 1>and be a journalist for once, to be on TV

0:36:39.155 --> 0:36:42.675
<v Speaker 1>with some value more than a trained chimpanzee would have

0:36:43.035 --> 0:36:47.275
<v Speaker 1>reading your script for you. You should not be fungible with

0:36:47.635 --> 0:36:53.475
<v Speaker 1>well educated animals of the jungle. And yet Anderson Cooper

0:36:53.515 --> 0:36:56.955
<v Speaker 1>has afforded the opportunity to come back and respond to

0:36:57.275 --> 0:37:01.395
<v Speaker 1>everyone needs to stop pretending this is rational. Subtext Anderson,

0:37:01.435 --> 0:37:06.675
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about you. And what does he say? He

0:37:06.755 --> 0:37:09.915
<v Speaker 1>does not say Trump isn't just insane, He's having a breakdown.

0:37:10.315 --> 0:37:15.355
<v Speaker 1>He instead Anderson Cooper. He instead mumbles, Senator rimand Gego,

0:37:16.355 --> 0:37:20.075
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate your time tonight, Thanks very much, Holly crap.

0:37:20.155 --> 0:37:24.755
<v Speaker 1>That was it? When you think sometimes, why are we

0:37:24.835 --> 0:37:27.795
<v Speaker 1>in this mess? How did we get here? How did

0:37:27.835 --> 0:37:32.715
<v Speaker 1>it get worse? Where does Anderson Cooper buy his clothes?

0:37:33.155 --> 0:37:37.435
<v Speaker 1>What boys department at JC penny would sell them to him?

0:37:37.715 --> 0:37:40.635
<v Speaker 1>How did some part of the establishment not push back

0:37:40.675 --> 0:37:44.555
<v Speaker 1>against any of this? Since twenty ft fifteen. Think of

0:37:44.635 --> 0:37:49.995
<v Speaker 1>Anderson Cooper in the earliest days of year twelve, of

0:37:50.075 --> 0:37:55.955
<v Speaker 1>this Whitman's sampler of all the imagined hells. Who's looking

0:37:56.075 --> 0:37:59.355
<v Speaker 1>like he's just eating some prunes so he can dismiss

0:37:59.395 --> 0:38:02.235
<v Speaker 1>a US Senator who is actually willing to tell the truth,

0:38:02.675 --> 0:38:05.955
<v Speaker 1>and interrupt that US senator and say, you really think

0:38:05.995 --> 0:38:14.155
<v Speaker 1>he's insane? Yes, he's insane, Emma Effer, He's insane. Anderson Cooper,

0:38:14.435 --> 0:38:17.675
<v Speaker 1>get on your goddamn TV show and tell people, start

0:38:17.715 --> 0:38:19.795
<v Speaker 1>telling them at the start of the hour, and don't

0:38:19.835 --> 0:38:24.835
<v Speaker 1>stop till it's the end of the hour. Anderson, Yeah,

0:38:24.875 --> 0:38:26.835
<v Speaker 1>I really think he's insane. And you know what, Anderson,

0:38:26.875 --> 0:38:28.675
<v Speaker 1>I think you're still just the host of the mole

0:38:28.795 --> 0:38:33.435
<v Speaker 1>pretending to be a newsman. Cooper, Today's with Jim Vander

0:38:33.515 --> 0:38:44.995
<v Speaker 1>High other worst persons in the world. Things I promised

0:38:44.995 --> 0:38:48.115
<v Speaker 1>not to tell and this one is about Dale Corson.

0:38:48.875 --> 0:38:51.875
<v Speaker 1>Dale Corson was president of Corneill University when I got

0:38:51.875 --> 0:38:56.115
<v Speaker 1>there as an undergraduate in a preceding century. He served

0:38:56.155 --> 0:38:58.635
<v Speaker 1>from nineteen sixty nine to nineteen seventy seven. He had

0:38:58.635 --> 0:39:02.195
<v Speaker 1>been before that in their physics department for twenty three years.

0:39:02.395 --> 0:39:06.355
<v Speaker 1>He helped design the school's synchrotron. He chaired the physics department.

0:39:06.355 --> 0:39:08.475
<v Speaker 1>He was dean of the College of Engineering, and he

0:39:08.635 --> 0:39:14.395
<v Speaker 1>was co discoverer of asteteine, which is element number eighty five.

0:39:14.635 --> 0:39:17.275
<v Speaker 1>And okay, it's time to face this. What have you

0:39:17.355 --> 0:39:22.315
<v Speaker 1>done with your life? Dale Corson co discovered an element.

0:39:25.035 --> 0:39:28.355
<v Speaker 1>I was staring out the waiting room window at the

0:39:28.395 --> 0:39:31.795
<v Speaker 1>Allegheny airplane that we were supposed to have already boarded

0:39:31.835 --> 0:39:34.595
<v Speaker 1>on a frigid New York morning in January of nineteen

0:39:34.675 --> 0:39:39.475
<v Speaker 1>seventy seven. Allegheny, which became US Air, but was colloquially

0:39:39.555 --> 0:39:43.755
<v Speaker 1>known as Agony Airlines. These were the days when the

0:39:43.795 --> 0:39:47.315
<v Speaker 1>bus monopoly in this country meant that the flight from

0:39:47.355 --> 0:39:49.955
<v Speaker 1>New York to Ithaca, New York, cost just a couple

0:39:49.995 --> 0:39:54.155
<v Speaker 1>bucks more and was far easier than the bus did

0:39:54.515 --> 0:39:57.315
<v Speaker 1>if you didn't mind the occasional stop in the rome

0:39:57.515 --> 0:40:01.155
<v Speaker 1>Utica Airport, and the continuous feeling that we were flying

0:40:01.275 --> 0:40:03.515
<v Speaker 1>low enough that you could reach out the window and

0:40:03.555 --> 0:40:08.835
<v Speaker 1>pull fruit off the trees not an issue. In January

0:40:08.835 --> 0:40:12.675
<v Speaker 1>of nineteen seventy seven, there was just snow everywhere. These

0:40:12.675 --> 0:40:15.155
<v Speaker 1>were also the days when you boarded a small flight

0:40:15.315 --> 0:40:18.795
<v Speaker 1>upstate by first sitting in a room twenty yards from

0:40:18.795 --> 0:40:22.115
<v Speaker 1>where the large propeller plane rested, then going out a

0:40:22.155 --> 0:40:26.115
<v Speaker 1>nondescript ordinary door, and then up a staircase with wheels,

0:40:26.795 --> 0:40:30.515
<v Speaker 1>no security, no formality, and judging by the fact that

0:40:30.555 --> 0:40:34.235
<v Speaker 1>we were now twenty minutes late for boarding, no punctuality.

0:40:35.155 --> 0:40:38.795
<v Speaker 1>That's what I noticed, the two Allegheny employees skipping down

0:40:38.835 --> 0:40:42.155
<v Speaker 1>the stairs from the airplane and ducking under the belly

0:40:42.195 --> 0:40:46.555
<v Speaker 1>of the craft and pointing with cartoon like animation at

0:40:46.595 --> 0:40:52.795
<v Speaker 1>the underside. I'm fairly confident my astonishment has added this detail.

0:40:52.875 --> 0:40:55.755
<v Speaker 1>But when I picture the performance, and from where we

0:40:55.795 --> 0:41:00.555
<v Speaker 1>all sat behind soundproofed windows, they were two mimes. You

0:41:00.555 --> 0:41:04.395
<v Speaker 1>couldn't hear anything, but I swear I saw one of

0:41:04.435 --> 0:41:08.435
<v Speaker 1>them slap his own forehead and point upwards suddenly, as

0:41:08.475 --> 0:41:14.035
<v Speaker 1>if trying to act out the word Eureka. The one

0:41:14.075 --> 0:41:18.035
<v Speaker 1>guy bolted up the stairs back into the airplane, and

0:41:18.315 --> 0:41:22.275
<v Speaker 1>as I waited, wondering what he would bring down, he

0:41:22.675 --> 0:41:26.435
<v Speaker 1>trapes back down those stairs with astonishing rapidity, returning with

0:41:26.475 --> 0:41:31.635
<v Speaker 1>what seemed to be a large floppy object waving in

0:41:31.755 --> 0:41:37.795
<v Speaker 1>the cold January wind, an object maybe six eight inches high,

0:41:38.515 --> 0:41:41.715
<v Speaker 1>maybe a foot long. And it was only when he

0:41:41.875 --> 0:41:44.915
<v Speaker 1>peeled the top off of this object and handed it

0:41:45.315 --> 0:41:48.555
<v Speaker 1>to his taller colleague that I realized what I was seeing.

0:41:48.595 --> 0:41:51.115
<v Speaker 1>What he was holding. The man had a stack of

0:41:51.115 --> 0:41:56.155
<v Speaker 1>paper towels in his hands, a stack of paper towels

0:41:56.395 --> 0:41:59.835
<v Speaker 1>that he had brought down from the airplane to where

0:41:59.875 --> 0:42:03.515
<v Speaker 1>they were looking at the underside of the airplane that

0:42:03.555 --> 0:42:07.115
<v Speaker 1>we were supposed to fly in that airplane to Ithaca,

0:42:07.195 --> 0:42:12.275
<v Speaker 1>New York. As the guy's buddy raised one hand over

0:42:12.315 --> 0:42:15.235
<v Speaker 1>his head, and then another hand over his head, and

0:42:15.235 --> 0:42:19.435
<v Speaker 1>then another hand over his head, the horror finally dawned

0:42:19.435 --> 0:42:23.115
<v Speaker 1>on me in full. There was something wrong with the plane,

0:42:23.675 --> 0:42:28.235
<v Speaker 1>something that these guys thought they could fix by stuffing

0:42:28.875 --> 0:42:35.875
<v Speaker 1>paper towels into it. Suddenly I was in a William

0:42:35.955 --> 0:42:39.755
<v Speaker 1>Shatner Twilight Zone episode. The other passengers in the waiting

0:42:39.835 --> 0:42:43.595
<v Speaker 1>room dozed, or were immersed in their newspapers, or were

0:42:43.635 --> 0:42:47.675
<v Speaker 1>simply not looking. I alone could see the gremlins guaranteeing

0:42:47.715 --> 0:42:50.995
<v Speaker 1>our doom by trying to fix a plane with some

0:42:51.435 --> 0:42:57.915
<v Speaker 1>bounty paper towels. Or perhaps George Carlin's observations about doctors

0:42:58.075 --> 0:43:03.275
<v Speaker 1>had been transposed to this scene qualitatively provably. Somewhere on Earth,

0:43:03.315 --> 0:43:06.915
<v Speaker 1>there had to be literally the word the world's worst airplane,

0:43:07.675 --> 0:43:14.115
<v Speaker 1>and we were about to get on it. I was

0:43:14.155 --> 0:43:17.595
<v Speaker 1>still a few weeks shy of my eighteenth birthday, and

0:43:17.675 --> 0:43:22.595
<v Speaker 1>I had no idea what to do. Oddly, it really

0:43:22.635 --> 0:43:26.115
<v Speaker 1>didn't dawn on me that, bottom line, I didn't have

0:43:26.155 --> 0:43:28.355
<v Speaker 1>to get on the airplane. I could let everybody else

0:43:28.355 --> 0:43:30.995
<v Speaker 1>in the room go to their doom. I didn't think

0:43:31.075 --> 0:43:34.195
<v Speaker 1>of that. I felt like I had to do something.

0:43:34.995 --> 0:43:38.875
<v Speaker 1>So I looked around at the disinterested airline staff, my

0:43:39.075 --> 0:43:42.835
<v Speaker 1>soon to be co victims, all inattentive to the mad

0:43:42.875 --> 0:43:46.275
<v Speaker 1>evidence of our impending disaster. And then I heard the

0:43:46.395 --> 0:43:49.355
<v Speaker 1>rustle of a newspaper being folded up and put away,

0:43:49.395 --> 0:43:51.915
<v Speaker 1>and appearing from behind it was a man in a

0:43:51.995 --> 0:43:57.235
<v Speaker 1>hat and old framed glasses, and I recognized him at once.

0:43:57.555 --> 0:44:00.195
<v Speaker 1>He looked a little like Leo G. Carroll from the

0:44:00.275 --> 0:44:03.355
<v Speaker 1>Man from Uncle and north By Northwest. But in fact

0:44:03.715 --> 0:44:11.155
<v Speaker 1>he was Cornell University President Dale Corson. I was never,

0:44:11.515 --> 0:44:14.315
<v Speaker 1>and since then, have never been so happy to see

0:44:14.595 --> 0:44:19.235
<v Speaker 1>an authority figure in my life. I screwed up the

0:44:19.275 --> 0:44:22.155
<v Speaker 1>courage to go over to President Corson. I checked back

0:44:22.235 --> 0:44:24.955
<v Speaker 1>over my shoulder to make certain that Laura and Hardy

0:44:25.035 --> 0:44:28.955
<v Speaker 1>were still forcing the paper towels into the Allegheny disaster Liner,

0:44:28.995 --> 0:44:33.475
<v Speaker 1>and then I spoke, squeakily and hurriedly, President Corson. You

0:44:33.515 --> 0:44:37.635
<v Speaker 1>don't know me, but I'm a Cornell student, Classes seventy nine. Hi,

0:44:38.075 --> 0:44:40.715
<v Speaker 1>I think there's something you need to see about our

0:44:40.795 --> 0:44:44.355
<v Speaker 1>plane out there, even just as a scientist, you need

0:44:44.395 --> 0:44:47.155
<v Speaker 1>to see it. And I gestured behind me a little

0:44:47.155 --> 0:44:51.475
<v Speaker 1>too wildly. I remember the amused but indulgent look on

0:44:51.515 --> 0:44:55.835
<v Speaker 1>that magnificently craggy face of his as he rose wordlessly,

0:44:56.155 --> 0:44:58.315
<v Speaker 1>and I remember just as well how quickly that looked

0:44:58.435 --> 0:45:02.755
<v Speaker 1>changed to astonishment and then anger. He put his hand

0:45:02.795 --> 0:45:05.715
<v Speaker 1>on my shoulder. You might as well have a seat.

0:45:06.435 --> 0:45:10.715
<v Speaker 1>Don't worry you and I are not getting on that plane.

0:45:12.115 --> 0:45:15.075
<v Speaker 1>I lingered just long enough to hear fragments of what

0:45:15.155 --> 0:45:18.595
<v Speaker 1>he said to the Allegheny gate attendant, and how his

0:45:18.715 --> 0:45:21.635
<v Speaker 1>voice got slightly louder in his tone, slightly crisper with

0:45:21.675 --> 0:45:25.795
<v Speaker 1>each sentence. We have students and faculty here, he said,

0:45:25.915 --> 0:45:31.115
<v Speaker 1>And if I remember correctly, your airline does some promotion

0:45:31.515 --> 0:45:35.395
<v Speaker 1>on campus. And finally something about if you'd ever like

0:45:35.475 --> 0:45:40.795
<v Speaker 1>to use our air space again. But to be fair,

0:45:40.835 --> 0:45:45.355
<v Speaker 1>my imagination may be adding that last line regardless. Within

0:45:45.435 --> 0:45:47.915
<v Speaker 1>five minutes there was an announcement that flights such and

0:45:47.955 --> 0:45:51.835
<v Speaker 1>such to Ithaca had been canceled due to equipment problems.

0:45:52.795 --> 0:45:55.595
<v Speaker 1>I chuckled at the word equipment, and I saw President,

0:45:55.555 --> 0:45:59.675
<v Speaker 1>of course in chuckling two. It wasn't equipment problems, it

0:45:59.755 --> 0:46:04.755
<v Speaker 1>was paper towel problems. We would all be transferred, the

0:46:04.795 --> 0:46:09.035
<v Speaker 1>announcement said to an alleghany jet leaving for Elmira, New

0:46:09.115 --> 0:46:12.275
<v Speaker 1>York in about twenty minutes, and then bust to Ithaca

0:46:12.555 --> 0:46:18.515
<v Speaker 1>at no additional charge. In the confusion of changing gates,

0:46:18.995 --> 0:46:22.115
<v Speaker 1>maybe even terminals, for all I know, I lost sight

0:46:22.155 --> 0:46:25.995
<v Speaker 1>of President Corson, But as I got onto our sleek

0:46:26.475 --> 0:46:31.555
<v Speaker 1>not fifty years old towel free jet to Elmira, I

0:46:31.635 --> 0:46:35.795
<v Speaker 1>saw him again seated near the front. He smiled up

0:46:35.835 --> 0:46:38.515
<v Speaker 1>at me. I thanked him for taking care of us,

0:46:38.555 --> 0:46:42.355
<v Speaker 1>and he laughed, that's what I'm here for. And then

0:46:42.355 --> 0:46:45.075
<v Speaker 1>he said, by the way, good work. And then he

0:46:45.115 --> 0:46:46.955
<v Speaker 1>asked me what my school and my major were, and

0:46:46.995 --> 0:46:53.075
<v Speaker 1>I told him communications, really, have you considered engineering? And

0:46:53.115 --> 0:46:54.915
<v Speaker 1>I told him my dad was an architect, and that

0:46:54.995 --> 0:46:57.755
<v Speaker 1>the actual math and the physics and the hard work

0:46:57.795 --> 0:46:59.835
<v Speaker 1>were the vane of his existence and I would never

0:46:59.875 --> 0:47:02.075
<v Speaker 1>do it in a million years, as well as he could.

0:47:02.115 --> 0:47:05.395
<v Speaker 1>And he hated every minute of it and laughed again,

0:47:05.435 --> 0:47:10.035
<v Speaker 1>and he said, yes, I can understand that. Well clearly.

0:47:10.115 --> 0:47:12.875
<v Speaker 1>At least you have the eye of a reporter. I

0:47:12.915 --> 0:47:29.995
<v Speaker 1>guess that's that's some consolation. I've done all the damage

0:47:29.995 --> 0:47:33.355
<v Speaker 1>I can do here. Get the paper towels. Thank you

0:47:33.395 --> 0:47:36.275
<v Speaker 1>for listening. Most of our Countdown music was arranged, produced

0:47:36.315 --> 0:47:39.275
<v Speaker 1>and performed by Brian Ray on guitars, bass and drums,

0:47:39.595 --> 0:47:42.875
<v Speaker 1>and John Phillip Schenel handling orchestration and keyboards, and they,

0:47:42.915 --> 0:47:45.875
<v Speaker 1>of course are our musical directors of Countdown. It was

0:47:45.915 --> 0:47:49.715
<v Speaker 1>produced by Tko Brothers. Our satirical and pithy musical comments

0:47:49.755 --> 0:47:52.835

0:48:03.915 --> 0:48:08.075
<v Speaker 1>announcer today, my friend Kenny Maine. This program was produced

0:48:08.515 --> 0:48:12.755
<v Speaker 1>by Ted. Everything else was as always my fault and

0:48:12.755 --> 0:48:16.675
<v Speaker 1>that's countdown for today Day three hundred and sixty four,
