1 00:00:04,795 --> 00:00:21,755 Speaker 1: Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. The 2 00:00:21,835 --> 00:00:25,315 Speaker 1: former President of the United States of America, Donald John 3 00:00:25,435 --> 00:00:28,435 Speaker 1: Trump has been indicted by the United States of America 4 00:00:28,675 --> 00:00:31,275 Speaker 1: on a series of felony charges, and he has pleaded 5 00:00:31,315 --> 00:00:37,515 Speaker 1: not guilty in federal court. Wait, who wrote this? We 6 00:00:37,595 --> 00:00:42,755 Speaker 1: did this story already, I swear last month, six weeks ago. 7 00:00:42,875 --> 00:00:46,555 Speaker 1: Maybe we did this can I got a producer in here. 8 00:00:46,555 --> 00:00:49,555 Speaker 1: It's some quality control so we don't get out of 9 00:00:49,635 --> 00:00:55,075 Speaker 1: date scripts again, Trump indicted. We did this story already, 10 00:00:58,235 --> 00:01:01,475 Speaker 1: Bill Murray Saturday Night Live Death of Pope John Paul 11 00:01:01,515 --> 00:01:06,195 Speaker 1: the first nineteen seventy eight. Sorry, had to there's a 12 00:01:06,235 --> 00:01:10,235 Speaker 1: point to this coming up. First. There are two headlines, 13 00:01:10,355 --> 00:01:14,395 Speaker 1: actual headlines from this one substantial one symbolic, and the 14 00:01:14,435 --> 00:01:18,995 Speaker 1: substantial one is really substantial. The timeline that the court 15 00:01:19,075 --> 00:01:23,195 Speaker 1: imposed and imposed is the exact word. They hit Trump 16 00:01:23,235 --> 00:01:26,315 Speaker 1: over the effing head with it. You've heard that phrase 17 00:01:26,355 --> 00:01:30,435 Speaker 1: from court's rocket docket. The judge demanded a brief from 18 00:01:30,555 --> 00:01:34,235 Speaker 1: Jack Smith's office proposing a trial date and its estimate 19 00:01:34,235 --> 00:01:36,155 Speaker 1: of how long the trial will take, and she wants 20 00:01:36,195 --> 00:01:39,835 Speaker 1: it Thursday, and then Trump's lawyers have to file a 21 00:01:39,915 --> 00:01:43,595 Speaker 1: response to that the Thursday after that, the seventeenth, and 22 00:01:43,675 --> 00:01:48,275 Speaker 1: the presiding jurist, the Judge Roy Bean of the January 23 00:01:48,275 --> 00:01:52,955 Speaker 1: sixth insurrection, Tanya Chutkin. We'll pick the trial date at 24 00:01:52,995 --> 00:01:56,275 Speaker 1: ten am August twenty eighth, that's three weeks from Monday. 25 00:01:56,995 --> 00:02:02,155 Speaker 1: Rocket docket. This is the Saturn five of schedules, the 26 00:02:02,355 --> 00:02:10,475 Speaker 1: Lunar thirteen of law, the javel and rocket of jurisprudence. Seriously, 27 00:02:10,515 --> 00:02:14,235 Speaker 1: there is no doubt, no doubt whatsoever that Smith and 28 00:02:14,355 --> 00:02:17,835 Speaker 1: maybe even Merrick Garland have realized they are working against 29 00:02:17,835 --> 00:02:21,195 Speaker 1: the clock, and that democracy is working against the clock, 30 00:02:21,595 --> 00:02:24,195 Speaker 1: and that it is imperative to put him on trial 31 00:02:24,275 --> 00:02:27,835 Speaker 1: not just before the election, but well before the election. 32 00:02:28,475 --> 00:02:30,555 Speaker 1: That it was intriguing to see one of the CNN 33 00:02:30,635 --> 00:02:33,235 Speaker 1: analysts who has had pretty good sources on this. I 34 00:02:33,315 --> 00:02:37,355 Speaker 1: worked with her at NBC, Jamie Gangel, quote her contacts 35 00:02:37,395 --> 00:02:43,155 Speaker 1: as uniformly identifying the takeaway of indictment day as how 36 00:02:43,475 --> 00:02:48,355 Speaker 1: pared down and concise. This case against Trump is compared 37 00:02:48,355 --> 00:02:51,435 Speaker 1: to the now forty counts in Florida, and they all 38 00:02:51,435 --> 00:02:53,435 Speaker 1: took the same guess as to why to give the 39 00:02:53,515 --> 00:02:56,395 Speaker 1: judge and any other judges Trump tries to drag in 40 00:02:56,435 --> 00:03:00,395 Speaker 1: to mess up the timeline. Absolutely no excuse to not 41 00:03:00,635 --> 00:03:05,115 Speaker 1: start this trial asap, maybe even before the first of 42 00:03:05,155 --> 00:03:09,155 Speaker 1: the year. We can have no idea if Garland or 43 00:03:09,195 --> 00:03:12,475 Speaker 1: Smith or Trump or anybody else saw the polling on 44 00:03:12,635 --> 00:03:15,915 Speaker 1: this by Reuter's ipsos that came out yesterday, but it 45 00:03:16,035 --> 00:03:21,435 Speaker 1: is intriguing, if not conclusive. Forty five percent of Republicans 46 00:03:21,995 --> 00:03:23,955 Speaker 1: say they would not vote for Trump if he has 47 00:03:23,995 --> 00:03:27,555 Speaker 1: been quote convicted of a felony crime by a jury. 48 00:03:27,995 --> 00:03:33,315 Speaker 1: Forty five percent of Republicans. I'll caveat that. One they 49 00:03:33,395 --> 00:03:37,115 Speaker 1: say that now, and two they may be saying that 50 00:03:37,275 --> 00:03:39,755 Speaker 1: now because the assumption on the right is that Trump 51 00:03:39,795 --> 00:03:43,795 Speaker 1: canstall all these trials indefinitely. I really wonder if the 52 00:03:43,875 --> 00:03:47,315 Speaker 1: number would look different if the polling was done after 53 00:03:47,355 --> 00:03:52,595 Speaker 1: this Justice Express docket had been released. There was considerable 54 00:03:52,595 --> 00:03:55,475 Speaker 1: reporting from inside the Prettyman Courthouse that Trump looked really 55 00:03:55,595 --> 00:03:59,955 Speaker 1: honked off about something yesterday, especially compared to his demeanor 56 00:03:59,995 --> 00:04:03,035 Speaker 1: at the Florida arraignment. And a really good guess would 57 00:04:03,035 --> 00:04:07,515 Speaker 1: be this the court day, it's the SpaceX of sentencing. 58 00:04:08,955 --> 00:04:13,835 Speaker 1: That was the substantial headline, the symbolic one that photo 59 00:04:14,155 --> 00:04:18,795 Speaker 1: of Trump at the airport for the return flight to Bedminster, 60 00:04:19,635 --> 00:04:23,995 Speaker 1: New York, times alone getting out of just another suv, 61 00:04:25,395 --> 00:04:30,675 Speaker 1: looking down carrying his own umbrella, with a stunned expression 62 00:04:30,715 --> 00:04:33,835 Speaker 1: on his saggy face and looking like a sack of 63 00:04:33,995 --> 00:04:39,875 Speaker 1: wet spit, and his near incoherence in his brief statement, 64 00:04:40,355 --> 00:04:45,315 Speaker 1: unable to focus on himself for the first time in 65 00:04:45,395 --> 00:04:50,195 Speaker 1: his life, and instead going off on worldwide television about 66 00:04:50,195 --> 00:04:55,555 Speaker 1: how horrible the graffiti was in Washington, and knowing he 67 00:04:55,635 --> 00:04:58,995 Speaker 1: had blown it, suddenly remembering he was supposed to say, 68 00:04:59,555 --> 00:05:02,675 Speaker 1: this is a persecution of a political opponent. This was 69 00:05:02,715 --> 00:05:06,915 Speaker 1: never supposed to happen in America, by which, of course, 70 00:05:06,955 --> 00:05:08,555 Speaker 1: he meant this was never supposed to happen to him 71 00:05:08,795 --> 00:05:12,795 Speaker 1: in America, because he ran on persecuting his political opponent. 72 00:05:12,835 --> 00:05:15,715 Speaker 1: In twenty sixteen, he told Hillary Clinton to her face 73 00:05:15,755 --> 00:05:17,835 Speaker 1: at a debate that he would put her in prison, 74 00:05:18,195 --> 00:05:20,275 Speaker 1: and then as president, he tried to get the president 75 00:05:20,315 --> 00:05:24,355 Speaker 1: of Ukraine to fabricate evidence with which to persecute Joe Biden, 76 00:05:25,315 --> 00:05:28,035 Speaker 1: something his goblins on Capitol Hill like Jamie Comer and 77 00:05:28,075 --> 00:05:31,435 Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy are still trying to do. And we're supposed 78 00:05:31,435 --> 00:05:35,315 Speaker 1: to forget that, and for once, with cameras rolling, Trump 79 00:05:35,355 --> 00:05:39,795 Speaker 1: could not pull off his only trick being martyred Trump 80 00:05:39,915 --> 00:05:44,115 Speaker 1: or fearless Trump or vengeful Trump or something Trump. He 81 00:05:44,195 --> 00:05:52,355 Speaker 1: came off as damp, limp chump Trump. And kudos to 82 00:05:52,515 --> 00:05:57,035 Speaker 1: CNN and MSNBC, among other networks for cutting away from 83 00:05:57,035 --> 00:06:00,555 Speaker 1: the live feed from the tarmac as dementia Jay started 84 00:06:00,555 --> 00:06:07,155 Speaker 1: to talk. Somehow somebody learned something. BBC News, sadly worldwide, 85 00:06:07,235 --> 00:06:11,195 Speaker 1: did not. They carried that nonsense live. On the other hand, 86 00:06:11,235 --> 00:06:14,555 Speaker 1: CNN also had a reporter in a car chasing the 87 00:06:14,595 --> 00:06:18,155 Speaker 1: Trump motorcade and who were duly rewarded with the audio 88 00:06:18,395 --> 00:06:20,755 Speaker 1: or the video going out on every hit from the 89 00:06:20,755 --> 00:06:24,195 Speaker 1: correspondent and the rest of the time they got a 90 00:06:24,235 --> 00:06:26,635 Speaker 1: shot of the car right ahead of them that Trump 91 00:06:26,915 --> 00:06:32,115 Speaker 1: also wasn't in notes from inside the Prettyman Courthouse. And 92 00:06:32,155 --> 00:06:35,075 Speaker 1: there are competing reports as to who stared Daggers at home, 93 00:06:35,115 --> 00:06:38,915 Speaker 1: and in fact whether Daggers were even stared. While The 94 00:06:38,915 --> 00:06:41,675 Speaker 1: New York Times insisted Trump never made eye contact with 95 00:06:41,755 --> 00:06:45,075 Speaker 1: Jack Smith's, CNN reported Smith stared at Trump or at 96 00:06:45,115 --> 00:06:49,635 Speaker 1: least won the staring contest. ABC reported that quote Trump 97 00:06:49,675 --> 00:06:53,715 Speaker 1: could be seen staring right towards Smith, knocking his clasped 98 00:06:53,755 --> 00:06:57,915 Speaker 1: hands on the table in a tense way. It's not 99 00:06:57,955 --> 00:06:59,795 Speaker 1: really news, of course, it was a tense way. He's 100 00:06:59,795 --> 00:07:02,755 Speaker 1: a psychopath. They get tents when the people who can 101 00:07:02,795 --> 00:07:09,035 Speaker 1: destroy them are not scared away their loud noises. Also, 102 00:07:09,155 --> 00:07:12,915 Speaker 1: Trump pleaded not guilty in his own voice, was asked 103 00:07:12,915 --> 00:07:15,155 Speaker 1: to confirm he understood he had the right to remain silent, 104 00:07:15,195 --> 00:07:19,195 Speaker 1: claimed he understood that. He doesn't understand that, And probably 105 00:07:19,235 --> 00:07:22,355 Speaker 1: the only unexpected development of the whole day came in 106 00:07:22,395 --> 00:07:25,755 Speaker 1: the traditional barrage of self pitying, self martyring social media 107 00:07:25,795 --> 00:07:30,155 Speaker 1: posts by Trump in which he spelled the word stolen 108 00:07:30,795 --> 00:07:37,915 Speaker 1: correctly sto just one l e M. World financial markets 109 00:07:37,995 --> 00:07:41,475 Speaker 1: crashed due to the result uncertainty among investors that there 110 00:07:41,515 --> 00:07:43,835 Speaker 1: was anything on this earth that could still rely on 111 00:07:46,355 --> 00:07:50,395 Speaker 1: two associated headlines. He may be only unindicted co conspirator 112 00:07:50,475 --> 00:07:55,675 Speaker 1: number two, but he's still unindicted sucker number one. John 113 00:07:55,715 --> 00:08:00,635 Speaker 1: Eastman still doesn't get it. As my old friend Steve 114 00:08:00,675 --> 00:08:05,635 Speaker 1: Bogart's dad said to Mary Astor, your take the fall. 115 00:08:06,795 --> 00:08:11,595 Speaker 1: Eastman's lawyer repeats, he's not flipping and he's not guilty. 116 00:08:11,635 --> 00:08:15,715 Speaker 1: Of anything, and they are sending prosecutors a memo. Oh good, 117 00:08:15,795 --> 00:08:19,675 Speaker 1: another Eastman memo, arguing that Eastman was acting quote as 118 00:08:19,715 --> 00:08:23,195 Speaker 1: an attorney advising a client that the advice was lawful 119 00:08:23,195 --> 00:08:25,715 Speaker 1: and that Eastman should not be indicted. Somebody needs to 120 00:08:25,755 --> 00:08:29,075 Speaker 1: wake them up and remind them. Trump's argument is that 121 00:08:29,155 --> 00:08:31,915 Speaker 1: he was listening to that advice and that he's not 122 00:08:32,035 --> 00:08:37,195 Speaker 1: guilty because Eastman is the other note. If you were 123 00:08:37,195 --> 00:08:40,075 Speaker 1: again disappointed by the lack of a mug shot of 124 00:08:40,155 --> 00:08:45,875 Speaker 1: the defendant, good news everyone. Fulton County Sheriff Patrick Lebat 125 00:08:45,955 --> 00:08:48,475 Speaker 1: has told The New York Times that if Trump is 126 00:08:48,515 --> 00:08:52,315 Speaker 1: indicted in Georgia, he would get treatment identical to any 127 00:08:52,435 --> 00:08:56,075 Speaker 1: other suspect being booked quote unless someone tells me differently. 128 00:08:56,115 --> 00:09:01,835 Speaker 1: The sheriff said, he plans to follow normal practices. We'll 129 00:09:01,915 --> 00:09:06,275 Speaker 1: have mugshots ready for you. Can I get one in 130 00:09:06,315 --> 00:09:09,155 Speaker 1: a size thirty eight by seven hundred and forty four 131 00:09:09,195 --> 00:09:17,715 Speaker 1: feet big picture. Year ago first episode of this series, 132 00:09:17,835 --> 00:09:21,595 Speaker 1: I suggested that the House January sixth committee obviously served 133 00:09:21,635 --> 00:09:25,475 Speaker 1: a real time purpose, but that ultimately didn't matter even 134 00:09:25,475 --> 00:09:27,795 Speaker 1: if it had really only been created exclusively for an 135 00:09:27,795 --> 00:09:33,515 Speaker 1: audience of one Merrick Garland sure enough huge traffic yesterday 136 00:09:33,515 --> 00:09:36,595 Speaker 1: on air and online about the Liz Cheney Committee, which 137 00:09:36,595 --> 00:09:38,115 Speaker 1: is how it will be remembered, even though she was 138 00:09:38,115 --> 00:09:40,795 Speaker 1: not the chair, Benny Thompson was. All of it was 139 00:09:40,835 --> 00:09:43,955 Speaker 1: deserved praise for the efforts and the straight line that 140 00:09:44,035 --> 00:09:48,035 Speaker 1: history will draw between what it did and yesterday's indictments. 141 00:09:48,635 --> 00:09:51,875 Speaker 1: And some of it went almost shockingly further than that 142 00:09:52,595 --> 00:09:55,915 Speaker 1: Congressman Brendan Boyle of Philadelphia, who has been in the 143 00:09:55,955 --> 00:10:01,035 Speaker 1: House exactly two hundred and fourteen days letter rip quote, 144 00:10:01,115 --> 00:10:04,675 Speaker 1: thank you, Speaker Pelosi for creating the House January sixth Committe. 145 00:10:05,395 --> 00:10:08,915 Speaker 1: If it were just up to the week and feckless 146 00:10:09,315 --> 00:10:13,995 Speaker 1: Merrick Garland and Lisa Monaco, then today would have never happened. 147 00:10:16,195 --> 00:10:20,395 Speaker 1: It's only shocking because it's true, and that brings up 148 00:10:20,435 --> 00:10:24,075 Speaker 1: another point. If you're not old enough to appreciate this, 149 00:10:24,395 --> 00:10:28,915 Speaker 1: I apologize. But from the day John Glenn went up 150 00:10:28,955 --> 00:10:32,075 Speaker 1: in Friendship seven when I was three, until the night 151 00:10:32,115 --> 00:10:34,755 Speaker 1: when I was ten when Neil Armstrong got moondust all 152 00:10:34,795 --> 00:10:37,435 Speaker 1: over that nice clean spacesuit of his, there was a 153 00:10:37,435 --> 00:10:41,755 Speaker 1: building crescendo of excitement over the years as we got 154 00:10:41,795 --> 00:10:45,395 Speaker 1: closer and closer to the moon launch and the landing, 155 00:10:45,555 --> 00:10:50,155 Speaker 1: and then I just had to go look up online 156 00:10:50,395 --> 00:10:54,075 Speaker 1: who was on the mission between Armstrong and Aldron and 157 00:10:54,115 --> 00:10:56,635 Speaker 1: Collins on Apollo eleven that landed on the Moon and 158 00:10:56,675 --> 00:11:00,475 Speaker 1: got out, and Lovell, Hayes and Swigert driving home the 159 00:11:00,635 --> 00:11:04,915 Speaker 1: junk bus that was thirteen. I had no memory of 160 00:11:04,955 --> 00:11:09,035 Speaker 1: Apollo twelve. And that deflation of the excitement was by 161 00:11:09,115 --> 00:11:12,755 Speaker 1: all accounts universal in this country. And thus it is 162 00:11:13,515 --> 00:11:16,955 Speaker 1: sadly with Trump indictments. The silliness of the opening of 163 00:11:16,995 --> 00:11:21,515 Speaker 1: this episode. Notwithstanding, there was a point to it as valuable, 164 00:11:22,115 --> 00:11:26,155 Speaker 1: essential as yesterday was to our declining chances of preserving 165 00:11:26,275 --> 00:11:29,155 Speaker 1: representative government in this country. There was an astounding sense 166 00:11:29,195 --> 00:11:35,195 Speaker 1: of anti climax. We've seen this before. This time there 167 00:11:35,235 --> 00:11:40,035 Speaker 1: weren't even any interesting looking Trump lunatics outside and him, 168 00:11:40,235 --> 00:11:44,395 Speaker 1: as I said before, Wow, way to underdeliver. Donnie got 169 00:11:44,395 --> 00:11:48,555 Speaker 1: a roll of stamps and mail it in. That's because 170 00:11:48,595 --> 00:11:50,835 Speaker 1: obviously it is time to get off the pot and 171 00:11:50,875 --> 00:11:54,395 Speaker 1: put him in the can. I could not be happier 172 00:11:54,395 --> 00:11:57,395 Speaker 1: that the judges in Washington have decided to kick his 173 00:11:57,635 --> 00:12:00,675 Speaker 1: ass with this high speed calendar. But the secret value 174 00:12:00,715 --> 00:12:03,515 Speaker 1: to the high speed calendar is. It gives us frequent 175 00:12:03,635 --> 00:12:07,395 Speaker 1: changes to the narrative and the excitement levels to carry 176 00:12:07,475 --> 00:12:09,715 Speaker 1: us through to the next hearing. And we need that 177 00:12:09,875 --> 00:12:13,195 Speaker 1: as a nation to fight back against Trump till the 178 00:12:13,235 --> 00:12:17,395 Speaker 1: next hearing or maybe the next indictment Fani, maybe the 179 00:12:17,435 --> 00:12:21,395 Speaker 1: next indictment Jack, because as repetitive as some of these 180 00:12:21,475 --> 00:12:24,915 Speaker 1: are as spectacle, we want him so indicted that he 181 00:12:24,995 --> 00:12:29,035 Speaker 1: can't pass gas without violating a court order. We want 182 00:12:29,075 --> 00:12:38,155 Speaker 1: him so indicted. Wait, so indicted, so indicted. I feel 183 00:12:38,155 --> 00:12:39,355 Speaker 1: a song coming on. 184 00:12:40,195 --> 00:12:47,435 Speaker 2: Oh Nancy, I'm so indicted and I just can't fight it. 185 00:12:49,275 --> 00:12:52,475 Speaker 2: I'm about to go to jail in America likes it. 186 00:12:53,635 --> 00:12:55,035 Speaker 1: I'm so indicted. 187 00:12:55,955 --> 00:13:00,595 Speaker 2: My defense he are tightened, and I know, I know 188 00:13:00,715 --> 00:13:06,835 Speaker 2: the unindicted co conspirators can bite it it, think you, 189 00:13:06,995 --> 00:13:08,315 Speaker 2: Nancy Faust. 190 00:13:09,195 --> 00:13:12,955 Speaker 1: We need to put out an album not of music. 191 00:13:15,555 --> 00:13:17,555 Speaker 1: I would like to point out that in a one 192 00:13:17,875 --> 00:13:23,675 Speaker 1: two week span, I anchored a presidential inauguration and the 193 00:13:23,715 --> 00:13:30,555 Speaker 1: super Bowl. There are related non Trump headlines to duck 194 00:13:30,555 --> 00:13:33,355 Speaker 1: in here and first on our quick trip to Shelbyville 195 00:13:33,435 --> 00:13:36,675 Speaker 1: and the Other America, and the lead story last night 196 00:13:36,715 --> 00:13:39,635 Speaker 1: at the Pretty Good barometer. That is the Washington Examiner, 197 00:13:39,995 --> 00:13:43,635 Speaker 1: not the Trump indictment, not even the Devon Archer transcript, 198 00:13:43,635 --> 00:13:46,235 Speaker 1: which they seem to have dismissed as the dud. It 199 00:13:46,515 --> 00:13:52,475 Speaker 1: was no this quote, Youngkin would beat Biden in Virginia. 200 00:13:52,635 --> 00:13:57,955 Speaker 1: New poll finds. Youngkin would beat Biden in Virginia, newpole 201 00:13:57,995 --> 00:14:01,275 Speaker 1: find If that name does not ring a bell, Youngkin 202 00:14:01,515 --> 00:14:04,395 Speaker 1: is the governor of Virginia who may yet step into 203 00:14:04,395 --> 00:14:07,995 Speaker 1: the grace once they send in Ron DeSantis's mommy to 204 00:14:07,995 --> 00:14:12,115 Speaker 1: go get him and bring him home, which could be today. 205 00:14:12,195 --> 00:14:15,315 Speaker 1: Ish quote came out Wednesday, I guess, but it only 206 00:14:15,315 --> 00:14:19,115 Speaker 1: started a steamroll yesterday. DeSantis cannot help himself and cannot 207 00:14:19,155 --> 00:14:21,675 Speaker 1: stop himself, and cannot save himself. On a tour of 208 00:14:21,675 --> 00:14:24,755 Speaker 1: New Hampshire, he issued the now standard, I ensure the 209 00:14:24,835 --> 00:14:27,315 Speaker 1: woke agenda ends up and then does been in history. 210 00:14:28,155 --> 00:14:30,675 Speaker 1: But then he added something new, And apparently this is 211 00:14:30,795 --> 00:14:34,515 Speaker 1: why they have him keep going back to woke, woke, this, 212 00:14:34,715 --> 00:14:38,315 Speaker 1: woke that, because when he tries something else, this happens. 213 00:14:38,635 --> 00:14:42,555 Speaker 1: As to federal bureaucracy and federal bureaucrats, Desantas said, quote, 214 00:14:42,795 --> 00:14:47,475 Speaker 1: We're going to start slitting throats on day one, you 215 00:14:47,515 --> 00:14:52,035 Speaker 1: realize how bad that is, even for fascists who relish 216 00:14:52,275 --> 00:14:56,475 Speaker 1: a good execution metaphor, that's just way too gory. That's 217 00:14:56,475 --> 00:15:01,035 Speaker 1: how bad it is. And be careful, Ronda, the throat 218 00:15:01,075 --> 00:15:06,795 Speaker 1: you slit may just have been your own doctor. Cornell West, 219 00:15:07,315 --> 00:15:10,235 Speaker 1: pissing away a career of service to this nation by 220 00:15:10,315 --> 00:15:15,835 Speaker 1: running on the let's elect Trump anyway platform turns out 221 00:15:15,875 --> 00:15:19,915 Speaker 1: to be just a little bit behind on the old taxes, 222 00:15:21,155 --> 00:15:27,595 Speaker 1: just five one hundred and forty three thousand dollars. The 223 00:15:27,715 --> 00:15:31,795 Speaker 1: Daily Beast could get no comment out of West or 224 00:15:31,835 --> 00:15:36,755 Speaker 1: his current campaign manager, Jill Stein. No, I'm not kidding. 225 00:15:41,995 --> 00:15:44,915 Speaker 1: Also of interest here, unless you saw this tweet, you 226 00:15:44,955 --> 00:15:48,635 Speaker 1: will never, never in a million years, correctly guess which 227 00:15:48,715 --> 00:15:52,875 Speaker 1: conservative tweeted one of the most horrifying Freudian slips of 228 00:15:53,035 --> 00:15:59,355 Speaker 1: all time. Quote, I highly encourage you to attend our 229 00:15:59,715 --> 00:16:09,355 Speaker 1: child trafficking training in Sarasota. God, that's next. This is countdown. 230 00:16:11,635 --> 00:16:16,035 Speaker 1: This is countdown with Keith Oberman, my crazy friend. 231 00:16:28,075 --> 00:16:34,515 Speaker 3: This is sports Center. Wait, check that not anymore. This 232 00:16:35,355 --> 00:16:39,475 Speaker 3: is countdown with Keith Olberman. 233 00:16:39,235 --> 00:16:44,795 Speaker 1: In sports Man, are sportspeople owning themselves lately? In droves? 234 00:16:45,395 --> 00:16:48,075 Speaker 1: In one case, it's folks from the usual shut up 235 00:16:48,155 --> 00:16:52,315 Speaker 1: and dribble crowd. Basketball's Orlando Magic, owned by members of 236 00:16:52,355 --> 00:16:57,035 Speaker 1: the infamous Devas family, taking huge heat from many quarters 237 00:16:57,075 --> 00:17:00,915 Speaker 1: because the franchise donated fifty thousand dollars the Czech says 238 00:17:01,075 --> 00:17:04,275 Speaker 1: Orlando Magic on it the donation was to an arm 239 00:17:04,355 --> 00:17:09,035 Speaker 1: of the Ron DeSantis campaign, right after DeSantis's latest anti 240 00:17:09,235 --> 00:17:15,155 Speaker 1: LGBTQ actions and contemporaneous with DeSantis's imbecilic remarks about how 241 00:17:15,275 --> 00:17:22,235 Speaker 1: slavery taught the slaves useful skills like blacksmithing. The Magic 242 00:17:22,275 --> 00:17:24,555 Speaker 1: then tried to claim that the team was not donating 243 00:17:24,595 --> 00:17:28,155 Speaker 1: to the campaign, but merely as a business to the 244 00:17:28,195 --> 00:17:32,595 Speaker 1: state of Florida. Then ownership claimed the check was written 245 00:17:32,635 --> 00:17:35,475 Speaker 1: before DeSantis had announced he was running, which is a 246 00:17:35,475 --> 00:17:38,635 Speaker 1: distinction without a difference, but also doesn't line up with 247 00:17:38,715 --> 00:17:41,955 Speaker 1: the date on the check. And now the Orlando Magic 248 00:17:41,995 --> 00:17:45,635 Speaker 1: have been sand blasted by the National Basketball Players Association 249 00:17:46,435 --> 00:17:49,355 Speaker 1: quote NBA governor's players and personnel have the right to 250 00:17:49,395 --> 00:17:53,635 Speaker 1: express their personal political views, including through donations and statements 251 00:17:53,955 --> 00:17:57,475 Speaker 1: the union rights and a press release. However, if contributions 252 00:17:57,515 --> 00:18:01,035 Speaker 1: are made on behalf of an entire team using money 253 00:18:01,155 --> 00:18:04,395 Speaker 1: earned through the labor of its employees. It is in 254 00:18:04,795 --> 00:18:07,875 Speaker 1: but upon the team governors to consider the diverse values 255 00:18:08,235 --> 00:18:12,755 Speaker 1: and perspectives of staff and players. The Magic's donation does 256 00:18:12,795 --> 00:18:16,555 Speaker 1: not represent player support for the recipient unquote, A very 257 00:18:16,755 --> 00:18:21,115 Speaker 1: salient point. What the NBAPA should do now, of course, 258 00:18:21,195 --> 00:18:25,155 Speaker 1: is donate some equal or larger amount to the Biden 259 00:18:25,275 --> 00:18:29,995 Speaker 1: campaign or one of the groups fighting DeSantis tyranny in Florida, 260 00:18:30,795 --> 00:18:33,955 Speaker 1: or I don't know, buy fifty thousand dollars worth of 261 00:18:33,995 --> 00:18:37,595 Speaker 1: banned books and hit them out to kids or anybody 262 00:18:37,635 --> 00:18:41,555 Speaker 1: really and do it on behalf of the Orlando Magic, 263 00:18:42,075 --> 00:18:46,835 Speaker 1: the players. And meanwhile, in golf, with the PGA Tour 264 00:18:46,995 --> 00:18:49,715 Speaker 1: selling out the sport in this country so the Saudis 265 00:18:49,715 --> 00:18:53,475 Speaker 1: can take it over completely and sportswash it's blood money 266 00:18:53,475 --> 00:18:56,395 Speaker 1: at events like the US Open and the Masters, that 267 00:18:56,435 --> 00:19:00,875 Speaker 1: would be the Prince Muhammad bin Salman Masters. Guess who 268 00:19:00,995 --> 00:19:06,915 Speaker 1: has been added to the PGA Tour policy boardd tiger Woods. 269 00:19:08,115 --> 00:19:10,795 Speaker 1: For tiger Woods, this is either a chance to redeem 270 00:19:10,875 --> 00:19:16,915 Speaker 1: his increasingly sketchy reputation or him making a complete sellout 271 00:19:16,955 --> 00:19:19,915 Speaker 1: of himself. We will see. Tiger Woods was one of 272 00:19:19,915 --> 00:19:22,995 Speaker 1: the leading opponents of the Saudi Trump Live Golf Tour, 273 00:19:23,035 --> 00:19:26,035 Speaker 1: which bought the PGA in June, and which has ever 274 00:19:26,075 --> 00:19:29,075 Speaker 1: since pretended that this is a partnership or a merger 275 00:19:29,675 --> 00:19:34,115 Speaker 1: with Woods. On the PGA board, actual players, actual golfers 276 00:19:34,155 --> 00:19:37,675 Speaker 1: now outnumber the non playing directors six to five, with 277 00:19:37,795 --> 00:19:41,515 Speaker 1: the twelfth member being the PGA's president. What it sounds 278 00:19:41,635 --> 00:19:45,395 Speaker 1: like is Tiger Woods to the rescue, stopping this farce, 279 00:19:45,435 --> 00:19:48,595 Speaker 1: which was engineered in large part by the PGA Commissioner 280 00:19:48,715 --> 00:19:53,875 Speaker 1: j Monahan. However, the first statement by Tiger Woods, in 281 00:19:53,915 --> 00:19:57,115 Speaker 1: fact his first statement since the Saudis bought the PGA, 282 00:19:58,195 --> 00:20:02,955 Speaker 1: Tiger praised Commissioner J. Monahan quote, we look forward to 283 00:20:03,035 --> 00:20:05,955 Speaker 1: being at the table with him to make the right 284 00:20:06,035 --> 00:20:09,435 Speaker 1: decisions for the future of the game. He has my 285 00:20:09,675 --> 00:20:29,235 Speaker 1: confidence moving forward with these changes.

The United States of America had 343 00:25:02,155 --> 00:25:07,475 Speaker 1: been ever since Kitty Hawk blindly constructing the elaborate Petard, 344 00:25:07,755 --> 00:25:13,075 Speaker 1: by which, sooner or later it must be hoist. It 345 00:25:13,195 --> 00:25:15,555 Speaker 1: was inevitable that someday there would come, roaring out of 346 00:25:15,555 --> 00:25:19,715 Speaker 1: the skies a national hero of insufficient intelligence background. And 347 00:25:19,795 --> 00:25:23,795 Speaker 1: character successfully to endure the mounting orgies of glory prepared 348 00:25:23,795 --> 00:25:27,555 Speaker 1: for aviators who stayed up for a long time or 349 00:25:27,595 --> 00:25:32,715 Speaker 1: flew a great distance. Both Lindbergh and Byrd, fortunately for 350 00:25:32,835 --> 00:25:37,315 Speaker 1: national decorum and international amity, had been gentlemen. So had 351 00:25:37,475 --> 00:25:42,035 Speaker 1: our other famous aviators. They wore their laurels gracefully, withstood 352 00:25:42,035 --> 00:25:45,955 Speaker 1: the awful weather of publicity, married excellent women, usually fine family, 353 00:25:46,795 --> 00:25:49,755 Speaker 1: and quietly retired to private life and the enjoyment of 354 00:25:49,795 --> 00:25:55,395 Speaker 1: their varying fortunes. No untoward incidents on a worldwide scale 355 00:25:55,555 --> 00:25:58,555 Speaker 1: marred the perfection of their conduct on the perilous heights 356 00:25:58,595 --> 00:26:04,435 Speaker 1: of fame. The exception to the rule was, however, bound 357 00:26:04,795 --> 00:26:09,315 Speaker 1: to occur, and it did in July nineteen thirty seven, 358 00:26:09,355 --> 00:26:15,195 Speaker 1: when Jack Pal smirch erstwhile mechanics helper in a small 359 00:26:15,235 --> 00:26:20,675 Speaker 1: garage in Westfield, Iowa, flew a secondhand, single motored Presthaven 360 00:26:20,875 --> 00:26:26,915 Speaker 1: Dragonfly three monoplane all the way around the world without stopping. 361 00:26:29,795 --> 00:26:32,075 Speaker 1: Never before in the history of aviation had such a 362 00:26:32,115 --> 00:26:35,315 Speaker 1: flight as Smirchs even been dreamed of. No one had 363 00:26:35,435 --> 00:26:40,075 Speaker 1: even taken seriously the weird floating auxiliary gas tanks. Invention 364 00:26:40,195 --> 00:26:43,355 Speaker 1: of the mad New Hampshire professor of astronomy, doctor Charles 365 00:26:43,475 --> 00:26:48,155 Speaker 1: Lewis Gresham, upon which Smirch placed full reliance. When the 366 00:26:48,195 --> 00:26:53,275 Speaker 1: garage worker, a slightly built, surly unprepossessing young man of 367 00:26:53,315 --> 00:26:56,755 Speaker 1: twenty two, appeared at Roosevelt Field early in July nineteen 368 00:26:56,875 --> 00:27:01,755 Speaker 1: thirty seven, slowly chewing a great quid of scrap tobacco, 369 00:27:01,915 --> 00:27:06,195 Speaker 1: and announced, nobody ain't seen no fly, And yet the 370 00:27:06,235 --> 00:27:11,035 Speaker 1: newspapers touched briefly and satirically upon his projected twenty five 371 00:27:11,195 --> 00:27:16,835 Speaker 1: thousand mile flight. Aeronautical and automotive experts dismissed the idea, curtly, 372 00:27:17,035 --> 00:27:20,835 Speaker 1: implying that it was a hoax, the publicity stunt. The rusty, 373 00:27:21,195 --> 00:27:27,635 Speaker 1: battered second hand plane wouldn't go, the Gresham auxiliary tanks 374 00:27:27,955 --> 00:27:36,035 Speaker 1: wouldn't work. It was simply a cheap joke. Smirch, however, 375 00:27:36,275 --> 00:27:38,875 Speaker 1: after calling on a girl in Brooklyn who worked in 376 00:27:38,915 --> 00:27:42,355 Speaker 1: the flap folding department of a large paper box factory, 377 00:27:42,355 --> 00:27:45,875 Speaker 1: a girl whom he later described as his sweet Bitituty 378 00:27:46,715 --> 00:27:51,515 Speaker 1: climbed nonchalantly into his ridiculous plane at dawn the memorable 379 00:27:51,595 --> 00:27:55,275 Speaker 1: seventh of July nineteen thirty seven. Spit a curve of 380 00:27:55,355 --> 00:27:58,875 Speaker 1: tobacco juice into the still air, and took off, carrying 381 00:27:58,875 --> 00:28:02,475 Speaker 1: with him only a gallon of bootleg gin and six 382 00:28:02,755 --> 00:28:08,435 Speaker 1: pounds of salami. When the garage boy thundered out over 383 00:28:08,475 --> 00:28:10,875 Speaker 1: the ocean, the papers were forced to record in all 384 00:28:10,955 --> 00:28:14,835 Speaker 1: seriousness that a man, unknown, young man whose name was 385 00:28:14,955 --> 00:28:19,755 Speaker 1: variously misspelled, had actually set out upon a preposterous attempt 386 00:28:19,795 --> 00:28:23,155 Speaker 1: to span the world in a rickety one engine contraption, 387 00:28:23,515 --> 00:28:27,555 Speaker 1: trusting to the long distance refueling device of a crazy schoolmaster. 388 00:28:28,395 --> 00:28:32,195 Speaker 1: When nine days later, without having stopped once, the tiny 389 00:28:32,275 --> 00:28:35,795 Speaker 1: plane appeared above San Francisco Bay, headed for New York, 390 00:28:35,875 --> 00:28:39,235 Speaker 1: spluttering and choking, to be sure, but still magnificently and 391 00:28:39,275 --> 00:28:43,715 Speaker 1: miraculously aloft the headlines, which long since had crowded everything 392 00:28:43,755 --> 00:28:46,355 Speaker 1: else off the front page. Even the shooting of the 393 00:28:46,395 --> 00:28:51,395 Speaker 1: Governor of Illinois by the Valetti Gang, swelled to unprecedented size, 394 00:28:51,715 --> 00:28:54,275 Speaker 1: and the news stories began to run to twenty five 395 00:28:54,555 --> 00:29:01,915 Speaker 1: and thirty columns. It was noticeable, however, that the accounts 396 00:29:02,035 --> 00:29:06,155 Speaker 1: of the epoch making flight touched rather lightly upon the 397 00:29:06,235 --> 00:29:11,035 Speaker 1: aviator himself. This was not because the facts about the 398 00:29:11,075 --> 00:29:14,835 Speaker 1: hero as a man were too meager, but because they 399 00:29:14,835 --> 00:29:19,355 Speaker 1: were too complete. Reporters who had been rushed out to 400 00:29:19,475 --> 00:29:22,315 Speaker 1: Iowa when Smirch's plane was first sighted over the ledge, 401 00:29:22,315 --> 00:29:25,115 Speaker 1: a little French coast town of ser Lee Lemaire to 402 00:29:25,275 --> 00:29:27,515 Speaker 1: dig up the story of the great man's life, had 403 00:29:27,515 --> 00:29:30,795 Speaker 1: promptly discovered that the story of his life could not 404 00:29:30,915 --> 00:29:35,035 Speaker 1: be printed. His mother, a sullen short order cook and 405 00:29:35,115 --> 00:29:37,595 Speaker 1: a shack restaurant on the edge of a tourists camping 406 00:29:37,635 --> 00:29:40,915 Speaker 1: ground near Westfield, met all inquiries as to her son 407 00:29:40,955 --> 00:29:44,435 Speaker 1: with an angry and the hell with him a hoppy drowns. 408 00:29:45,435 --> 00:29:48,675 Speaker 1: His father appeared to be in jail somewhere for stealing 409 00:29:48,795 --> 00:29:53,955 Speaker 1: spotlights and lap robes from tourists automobiles. His young brother, 410 00:29:54,035 --> 00:29:57,595 Speaker 1: a weak minded lad, had but recently escaped from the Preston, 411 00:29:57,675 --> 00:30:01,195 Speaker 1: Iowa Reformatory and was already wanted in several western towns 412 00:30:01,195 --> 00:30:04,155 Speaker 1: for the theft of money order blanks from post offices. 413 00:30:05,115 --> 00:30:08,555 Speaker 1: These alarming discoveries were still piling up at the very 414 00:30:08,595 --> 00:30:12,675 Speaker 1: time that Pal Smirch, the greatest hero of the twentieth century, 415 00:30:12,875 --> 00:30:17,195 Speaker 1: blear eyed, dead for sleep, half starved, was piloting his 416 00:30:17,315 --> 00:30:19,755 Speaker 1: crazy junk heap high above the region in which the 417 00:30:19,835 --> 00:30:23,195 Speaker 1: lamentable story of his private life was being unearthed, headed 418 00:30:23,235 --> 00:30:26,155 Speaker 1: for New York and a greater glory than any man 419 00:30:26,235 --> 00:30:32,835 Speaker 1: of his time had ever known. The necessity for printing 420 00:30:33,035 --> 00:30:36,115 Speaker 1: some account in the papers of the young man's career 421 00:30:36,275 --> 00:30:39,915 Speaker 1: and personality had led to a remarkable predicament. It was, 422 00:30:39,955 --> 00:30:43,555 Speaker 1: of course, impossible to reveal the facts, for a tremendous 423 00:30:43,835 --> 00:30:46,875 Speaker 1: popular feeling in favor of the young hero had sprung 424 00:30:46,955 --> 00:30:49,675 Speaker 1: up like a grass fire when he was halfway across 425 00:30:49,755 --> 00:30:52,995 Speaker 1: Europe on his flight around the globe. He was therefore 426 00:30:53,035 --> 00:30:58,475 Speaker 1: described as a modest, chap taciturn blonde, popular with his friends, 427 00:30:58,955 --> 00:31:03,835 Speaker 1: popular with girls. The only available snapshot of Smirch, taken 428 00:31:03,875 --> 00:31:06,355 Speaker 1: at the wheel of a pony automobile in a cheap 429 00:31:06,355 --> 00:31:09,515 Speaker 1: photo studio at an amusement park, was touched up so 430 00:31:09,555 --> 00:31:14,715 Speaker 1: that the little vulgarian looked quite handsome. His twisted leer 431 00:31:15,075 --> 00:31:18,915 Speaker 1: was smoothed into a pleasant smile. The truth was in 432 00:31:18,995 --> 00:31:22,675 Speaker 1: this way kept from the youth's ecstatic compatriots. They did 433 00:31:22,715 --> 00:31:26,875 Speaker 1: not dream that the Smirch family was despised and feared 434 00:31:26,955 --> 00:31:29,755 Speaker 1: by its neighbors in the obscure Iowa town, nor that 435 00:31:29,795 --> 00:31:34,395 Speaker 1: the hero himself, because of numerous unsavory exploits, had come 436 00:31:34,435 --> 00:31:37,795 Speaker 1: to be regarded in Westfield as a nuisance and a menace. 437 00:31:39,435 --> 00:31:43,475 Speaker 1: Pal's smirch had the reporters discovered once knife the principle 438 00:31:43,515 --> 00:31:46,555 Speaker 1: of his high school, not mortally, to be sure, but 439 00:31:46,595 --> 00:31:50,355 Speaker 1: he had knifed him, and on another occasion, surprised in 440 00:31:50,435 --> 00:31:53,995 Speaker 1: the act of an stealing altar cloth from a church, 441 00:31:54,395 --> 00:31:56,915 Speaker 1: he had bashed the sexton over the head with a 442 00:31:56,955 --> 00:32:01,675 Speaker 1: pot of Easter lilies. For each of these offenses he 443 00:32:01,715 --> 00:32:06,875 Speaker 1: had served a sentence in the reformatory. Inwardly, the authorities, 444 00:32:06,915 --> 00:32:09,275 Speaker 1: both in New York and in Washington, prayed that an 445 00:32:09,355 --> 00:32:15,035 Speaker 1: understanding providence might, however awful, such a thing seemed, bring 446 00:32:15,155 --> 00:32:18,875 Speaker 1: disaster to the rusty, battered plane and its illustrious pilot, 447 00:32:18,955 --> 00:32:22,435 Speaker 1: whose unheard of flight had aroused the civilized world to 448 00:32:22,515 --> 00:32:27,235 Speaker 1: hosannas of hysterical praise. The authorities were convinced that the 449 00:32:27,395 --> 00:32:30,835 Speaker 1: character of the renowned aviator was such that the limelight 450 00:32:30,875 --> 00:32:34,275 Speaker 1: of adulation was bound to reveal him to all the 451 00:32:34,275 --> 00:32:39,875 Speaker 1: world as a congenital hooligan, mentally and morally unequipped to 452 00:32:39,995 --> 00:32:44,715 Speaker 1: cope with his own prodigious fame. I trust, said the 453 00:32:44,715 --> 00:32:47,435 Speaker 1: Secretary of State, at one of the many secret cabinet 454 00:32:47,475 --> 00:32:51,915 Speaker 1: meetings called to consider the national dilemma. I trust that 455 00:32:52,035 --> 00:32:56,955 Speaker 1: his mother's prayer will be answered, by which he referred 456 00:32:56,955 --> 00:33:00,355 Speaker 1: to missus Emma's Smirch's wish that her son might be drowned. 457 00:33:01,915 --> 00:33:04,995 Speaker 1: It was, however, too late for that Smirch had leaped 458 00:33:04,995 --> 00:33:07,075 Speaker 1: the Atlantic and then the Pacific as if they were 459 00:33:07,155 --> 00:33:10,195 Speaker 1: mill ponds. At three minutes after two o'clock on the 460 00:33:10,235 --> 00:33:13,995 Speaker 1: afternoon of July seventeenth, nineteen thirty seven, the garage boy 461 00:33:14,355 --> 00:33:17,475 Speaker 1: brought his idiotic plane into Roosevelt Field for a perfect 462 00:33:17,755 --> 00:33:22,835 Speaker 1: three point landing. It had, of course been out of 463 00:33:22,835 --> 00:33:25,675 Speaker 1: the question to arrange a modest little reception for the 464 00:33:25,715 --> 00:33:28,515 Speaker 1: greatest flier in the history of the world. He was 465 00:33:28,595 --> 00:33:32,195 Speaker 1: received at Roosevelt Field with such elaborate and pretentious ceremonies 466 00:33:32,195 --> 00:33:37,515 Speaker 1: as rocked the world. Fortunately, however, the warren and spent 467 00:33:37,635 --> 00:33:41,795 Speaker 1: hero promptly swooned, had to be removed bodily from his plane, 468 00:33:41,835 --> 00:33:44,195 Speaker 1: and was spirited from the field without having opened his 469 00:33:44,275 --> 00:33:48,115 Speaker 1: mouth once. Thus he did not jeopardize the dignity of 470 00:33:48,155 --> 00:33:52,435 Speaker 1: his first reception, a reception illumined by the presence of 471 00:33:52,475 --> 00:33:55,355 Speaker 1: the Secretaries of War and the Navy, Mayor Michael J. 472 00:33:55,515 --> 00:33:59,595 Speaker 1: Moriarty of New York, the Premier of Canada, Governor's Fanamine Groves, 473 00:33:59,675 --> 00:34:03,115 Speaker 1: mcpheeley and Critchfield, and a brilliant array of European diplomats. 474 00:34:04,115 --> 00:34:07,475 Speaker 1: Smirched not, in fact come two in time to take 475 00:34:07,515 --> 00:34:10,395 Speaker 1: part in the gigantic hullabaloo arranged at City Hall for 476 00:34:10,435 --> 00:34:13,635 Speaker 1: the next day. He was rushed to a secluded nursing 477 00:34:13,675 --> 00:34:17,675 Speaker 1: home and confined in bed. It was nine days before 478 00:34:17,675 --> 00:34:20,235 Speaker 1: he was able to get up, or, to be more exact, 479 00:34:20,235 --> 00:34:25,715 Speaker 1: before he was permitted to get up. Meanwhile, the greatest 480 00:34:25,755 --> 00:34:28,955 Speaker 1: minds in the country in solemn assembly, had arranged a 481 00:34:29,035 --> 00:34:33,035 Speaker 1: secret conference of city, state and government officials, which Smirch 482 00:34:33,195 --> 00:34:37,235 Speaker 1: was to attend for the purpose of being instructed in 483 00:34:37,315 --> 00:34:42,755 Speaker 1: the ethics and behavior of heroism. On the day that 484 00:34:42,795 --> 00:34:44,995 Speaker 1: the little mechanic was finally allowed to get up in 485 00:34:45,075 --> 00:34:47,035 Speaker 1: dress and for the first time in two weeks, took 486 00:34:47,075 --> 00:34:49,955 Speaker 1: a great chew of tomacco, he was permitted to receive 487 00:34:50,075 --> 00:34:53,595 Speaker 1: the newspaper men this by way of testing him out. 488 00:34:54,795 --> 00:34:58,795 Speaker 1: Smirch did not wait for questions use guys he said, 489 00:34:59,395 --> 00:35:03,035 Speaker 1: and the Times Man winced, use guys can tell a 490 00:35:03,115 --> 00:35:07,755 Speaker 1: cock guide world. I put it over on Lindberg. See yeah, man, 491 00:35:07,795 --> 00:35:13,475 Speaker 1: an ass said, I'm two frogs. The two frogs was 492 00:35:13,515 --> 00:35:16,955 Speaker 1: a reference to a pair of gallant French flyers who, 493 00:35:16,995 --> 00:35:19,555 Speaker 1: in attempting a flight only halfway around the world, had 494 00:35:19,595 --> 00:35:23,595 Speaker 1: two weeks before unhappily been lost at sea. The Times 495 00:35:23,675 --> 00:35:25,915 Speaker 1: Man was bold enough at this point to sketch out 496 00:35:25,955 --> 00:35:29,675 Speaker 1: for Smirch the accepted formula for interviews in cases of 497 00:35:29,675 --> 00:35:32,835 Speaker 1: this kind. He explained that there should be no arrogant 498 00:35:32,875 --> 00:35:37,475 Speaker 1: statements belittling the achievements of other heroes, particularly heroes of 499 00:35:37,635 --> 00:35:42,155 Speaker 1: foreign nations. Ah the hell with that, said Smirch. I 500 00:35:42,235 --> 00:35:45,555 Speaker 1: did it. See I did it, and I'm talking about it. 501 00:35:46,955 --> 00:35:50,995 Speaker 1: And he did talk about it. None of this extraordinary 502 00:35:50,995 --> 00:35:55,275 Speaker 1: interview was, of course printed. On the contrary, the newspapers, 503 00:35:55,355 --> 00:35:58,555 Speaker 1: already under the discipline direction of a secret directorate created 504 00:35:58,555 --> 00:36:02,155 Speaker 1: for the occasion and composed of statesmen and editors, gave 505 00:36:02,195 --> 00:36:05,755 Speaker 1: out to a panting and restless world that Jackie, as 506 00:36:05,835 --> 00:36:09,475 Speaker 1: he had been arbitrarily nicknamed, would consent to say only 507 00:36:09,515 --> 00:36:12,755 Speaker 1: that he was very happy, and that anyone could have 508 00:36:12,795 --> 00:36:16,195 Speaker 1: done what he did. My achievement has been I fear 509 00:36:16,595 --> 00:36:20,555 Speaker 1: slightly exaggerated. The Times Man's article had him protest with 510 00:36:20,595 --> 00:36:25,035 Speaker 1: a modest smile. These newspaper stories were kept from the hero, 511 00:36:25,475 --> 00:36:28,595 Speaker 1: a restriction which did not serve to abate the rising 512 00:36:28,755 --> 00:36:34,155 Speaker 1: malevolence of his temper. The situation was indeed extremely grave 513 00:36:34,875 --> 00:36:39,235 Speaker 1: for Pale Smirch was, as he kept insisting, rare and 514 00:36:39,395 --> 00:36:42,875 Speaker 1: to go. He could not much longer be kept from 515 00:36:42,875 --> 00:36:45,875 Speaker 1: a nation clamorous to lionize him. It was the most 516 00:36:45,955 --> 00:36:49,155 Speaker 1: desperate crisis the United States of America had faced since 517 00:36:49,195 --> 00:36:55,195 Speaker 1: the sinking of Belusitania. On the afternoon of the twenty 518 00:36:55,355 --> 00:36:58,595 Speaker 1: seventh of July, Smirch was spirited away to a conference 519 00:36:58,675 --> 00:37:03,275 Speaker 1: room in which were gathered mayors, governors, government officials, behaviorist, psychologists, 520 00:37:03,315 --> 00:37:07,315 Speaker 1: and editors. He gave them each a limp moist paw 521 00:37:07,755 --> 00:37:14,195 Speaker 1: and a brief, unlovely grin, hi, he said. When Smirch 522 00:37:14,315 --> 00:37:16,395 Speaker 1: was seated, the Mayor of New York arose, and, with 523 00:37:16,475 --> 00:37:20,235 Speaker 1: obvious pessimism, attempted to explain what he must say and 524 00:37:20,275 --> 00:37:23,795 Speaker 1: how he must act when presented to the world, ending 525 00:37:23,835 --> 00:37:26,275 Speaker 1: his talk with a high tribute to the hero's courage 526 00:37:26,315 --> 00:37:29,555 Speaker 1: and integrity. The mayor was followed by Governor Fannerman of 527 00:37:29,555 --> 00:37:33,155 Speaker 1: New York, who, after a touching declaration of faith, introduced 528 00:37:33,435 --> 00:37:37,635 Speaker 1: Cameron Spottiswood, second Secretary of the American Embassy in Paris, 529 00:37:37,755 --> 00:37:41,755 Speaker 1: the gentleman selected to coach Smirch in the amenities of 530 00:37:41,795 --> 00:37:46,835 Speaker 1: public ceremonies. Sitting in a chair with a soiled yellow 531 00:37:46,875 --> 00:37:50,075 Speaker 1: tie in his hand and his shirt open at the throat, unshaved, 532 00:37:50,555 --> 00:37:54,835 Speaker 1: smoking a rolled cigarette, Jack Smirch listened with a leer 533 00:37:54,995 --> 00:37:58,955 Speaker 1: on his lips. I get you, I get you, He 534 00:37:59,035 --> 00:38:03,075 Speaker 1: cut in nastily. You want me to act like a softie? Huh? 535 00:38:03,355 --> 00:38:06,795 Speaker 1: You want me to act like that nemy murmany baby 536 00:38:06,915 --> 00:38:11,635 Speaker 1: face lind big huh, well nuts to not see. Everyone 537 00:38:11,715 --> 00:38:14,835 Speaker 1: took in his breath sharply. It was a sigh and 538 00:38:14,875 --> 00:38:20,915 Speaker 1: a hiss. Mister Lindbergh began a United States Senator purple 539 00:38:20,995 --> 00:38:25,355 Speaker 1: with rage, and mister bird Smirch, who was paring his 540 00:38:25,475 --> 00:38:29,635 Speaker 1: nails with a jackknife, cut in again. Boyd. He exclaimed, Oh, 541 00:38:29,675 --> 00:38:33,435 Speaker 1: for God's sake, that big somebody shut off the blasphemies 542 00:38:33,555 --> 00:38:36,395 Speaker 1: with a sharp word. A newcomer had entered the word 543 00:38:36,595 --> 00:38:39,595 Speaker 1: the room. Everyone stood up except Smirch, who was still 544 00:38:39,595 --> 00:38:42,755 Speaker 1: busy with his nails, and he did not even glance up. 545 00:38:42,875 --> 00:38:46,835 Speaker 1: Mister Smirch, said someone sternly. The President of the United States. 546 00:38:47,995 --> 00:38:49,835 Speaker 1: It had been thought that the presence of the chief 547 00:38:49,875 --> 00:38:52,875 Speaker 1: Executive might have a chastening effect on the young hero, 548 00:38:53,275 --> 00:38:56,195 Speaker 1: and the former had been, thanks to the remarkable cooperation 549 00:38:56,275 --> 00:38:59,595 Speaker 1: of the press, secretly brought to the obscure conference room. 550 00:39:00,955 --> 00:39:10,595 Speaker 1: A great painful silence fell. Smirch looked up, waved a 551 00:39:10,635 --> 00:39:14,635 Speaker 1: hand at the President. How are you coming, he asked, 552 00:39:15,555 --> 00:39:24,315 Speaker 1: and began rolling a fresh cigarette. The silence deepened. Someone 553 00:39:24,475 --> 00:39:30,035 Speaker 1: coughed in a strained way. Jesus hot, ain't it, said Smirch. 554 00:39:31,675 --> 00:39:35,635 Speaker 1: He loosened two more shirt buttons, revealing a hairy chest 555 00:39:35,715 --> 00:39:40,435 Speaker 1: and the tattooed word Sadie enclosed in a stenciled heart. 556 00:39:41,675 --> 00:39:44,875 Speaker 1: The great and important men in the room, faced by 557 00:39:44,915 --> 00:39:49,475 Speaker 1: the most serious crisis in American history, exchanged worried frowns. 558 00:39:50,315 --> 00:39:54,195 Speaker 1: Nobody seemed to know how to proceed. Come on, come on, 559 00:39:54,675 --> 00:39:57,635 Speaker 1: said Smirch, Let's get the hell out of here. Why 560 00:39:57,715 --> 00:40:00,435 Speaker 1: do I start cutting in on the parties? Eh? And 561 00:40:00,475 --> 00:40:05,435 Speaker 1: when is there gonna be this in it. He rubbed 562 00:40:05,435 --> 00:40:10,355 Speaker 1: a thumb and forefinger together meaningly. Money, exclaimed a state 563 00:40:10,435 --> 00:40:16,115 Speaker 1: senator shocked. Pale, Yeah, money, said pal, flipping his cigarette 564 00:40:16,155 --> 00:40:19,715 Speaker 1: out of the window. And big money. He began rolling 565 00:40:19,715 --> 00:40:24,955 Speaker 1: a fresh cigarette. Big money, he repeated. Frowning over the 566 00:40:25,035 --> 00:40:28,555 Speaker 1: rice paper. He tilted back in his chair and leered 567 00:40:28,595 --> 00:40:32,395 Speaker 1: at each gentleman separately, the leer of an animal that 568 00:40:32,595 --> 00:40:36,075 Speaker 1: knows its power, the leer of a leopard loose in 569 00:40:36,155 --> 00:40:40,675 Speaker 1: a bird and dog shop. Ah, for God's sake, let's 570 00:40:40,675 --> 00:40:44,195 Speaker 1: get someplace where it's cool, he said. I've been cooped 571 00:40:44,275 --> 00:40:48,475 Speaker 1: up plenty for three weeks. Smirch stood up and walked 572 00:40:48,475 --> 00:40:51,595 Speaker 1: over to an open window, where he stood staring down 573 00:40:51,635 --> 00:40:56,355 Speaker 1: into the street nine floors below. The faint shouting of 574 00:40:56,435 --> 00:40:59,675 Speaker 1: newsboys floated up to him. He made out his name, 575 00:41:00,035 --> 00:41:05,235 Speaker 1: hot dog, he cried, grinning ecstatic. He leaned out over 576 00:41:05,315 --> 00:41:10,315 Speaker 1: the sill. You tell him, babies, he shouted down. Hut 577 00:41:10,435 --> 00:41:14,515 Speaker 1: diggity dog. In the tense little knot of men standing 578 00:41:14,555 --> 00:41:18,995 Speaker 1: behind him, a quick, mad impulse flared up. An unspoken 579 00:41:19,075 --> 00:41:22,835 Speaker 1: word of appeal of command seemed to ring through the room, 580 00:41:23,155 --> 00:41:27,315 Speaker 1: yet it was deadly silent. Charles K. L Brand, secretary 581 00:41:27,355 --> 00:41:29,115 Speaker 1: to the Mayor of New York City, happened to be 582 00:41:29,155 --> 00:41:32,875 Speaker 1: standing nearest smirch. He looked inquiringly at the President of 583 00:41:32,915 --> 00:41:38,675 Speaker 1: the United States. The President, pale grim nodded shortly. Brand, 584 00:41:38,915 --> 00:41:42,555 Speaker 1: a tall, powerfully built man wants to tackle at Rutgers University, 585 00:41:42,875 --> 00:41:46,195 Speaker 1: stepped forward, seized the greatest man in the world by 586 00:41:46,195 --> 00:41:48,235 Speaker 1: his left shoulder and the seat of his pants, and 587 00:41:48,355 --> 00:41:51,995 Speaker 1: pushed him out the window. My god, he's fallen out 588 00:41:51,995 --> 00:41:54,835 Speaker 1: the window, cried a quick witted editor. Get me out 589 00:41:54,875 --> 00:41:57,435 Speaker 1: of here, cried the President. Several men sprang to his side, 590 00:41:57,475 --> 00:41:59,395 Speaker 1: and he was hurriedly escorted out of a door toward 591 00:41:59,435 --> 00:42:01,515 Speaker 1: a side entrance of the building. The editor of the 592 00:42:01,515 --> 00:42:04,395 Speaker 1: Associated Press took charge, Being used to such things cris 593 00:42:04,835 --> 00:42:07,835 Speaker 1: he ordered certain men to leave, others to stay. Quickly. 594 00:42:07,875 --> 00:42:10,115 Speaker 1: He outlined a story which all the papers were to 595 00:42:10,155 --> 00:42:12,555 Speaker 1: agree on, sent two men to the street to handle 596 00:42:12,595 --> 00:42:15,195 Speaker 1: that end of the tragedy, commanded a senator to sob 597 00:42:15,515 --> 00:42:19,875 Speaker 1: and two congressmen to go to pieces nervously. In a word, 598 00:42:20,195 --> 00:42:23,595 Speaker 1: he skillfully set the stage for the gigantic task that 599 00:42:23,835 --> 00:42:26,955 Speaker 1: was to follow, the task of breaking to a grief 600 00:42:26,995 --> 00:42:32,475 Speaker 1: stricken world the sad story of the untimely accidental death 601 00:42:32,595 --> 00:42:38,915 Speaker 1: of its most illustrious and spectacular figure. The funeral was, 602 00:42:38,955 --> 00:42:44,075 Speaker 1: as you know, the most elaborate, the finest, the solemnest, 603 00:42:44,795 --> 00:42:47,435 Speaker 1: and the saddest ever held in the United States of America. 604 00:42:48,315 --> 00:42:52,435 Speaker 1: The monument in Arlington Cemetery, with its clean white shaft 605 00:42:52,475 --> 00:42:56,515 Speaker 1: of marble, then the simple device of a tiny plane 606 00:42:56,595 --> 00:43:01,995 Speaker 1: carved on its base, is a place for pilgrims in 607 00:43:02,155 --> 00:43:06,715 Speaker 1: deep reverence to visit. The nations of the world paid 608 00:43:06,795 --> 00:43:13,075 Speaker 1: lofty tributes to little Jackie Smirch, America's greatest hero. At 609 00:43:13,115 --> 00:43:16,155 Speaker 1: a given hour, there were two minutes of silence throughout 610 00:43:16,155 --> 00:43:20,075 Speaker 1: the nation. Even the inhabitants of the small, bewildered town 611 00:43:20,155 --> 00:43:25,075 Speaker 1: of Westfield, Iowa, observed this touching ceremony. Agents of the 612 00:43:25,075 --> 00:43:29,635 Speaker 1: Department of Justice sought that one of them was especially 613 00:43:29,675 --> 00:43:32,395 Speaker 1: assigned to stand grimly in the doorway of a little 614 00:43:32,435 --> 00:43:36,595 Speaker 1: shack restaurant on the edge of the tourist's camping ground 615 00:43:36,635 --> 00:43:42,355 Speaker 1: just outside the town. There, under his stern scrutiny, Missus 616 00:43:42,355 --> 00:43:46,195 Speaker 1: Emma Smirch bowed her head over two Hamburger steaks sizzling 617 00:43:46,235 --> 00:43:50,795 Speaker 1: on her grill, bowed her head and turned away so 618 00:43:50,835 --> 00:43:55,395 Speaker 1: that the secret serviceman could not see the twisted, strangely 619 00:43:55,555 --> 00:44:02,875 Speaker 1: familiar leer on her lips.
