1 00:00:04,795 --> 00:00:21,435 Speaker 1: Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. Trump 2 00:00:21,995 --> 00:00:26,435 Speaker 1: is an anti Semite, always has been an anti Semite, 3 00:00:26,635 --> 00:00:30,115 Speaker 1: always will be an anti Semite, and he has now 4 00:00:30,155 --> 00:00:35,275 Speaker 1: doubled down on his latest appalling, disqualifying anti Semitism. 5 00:00:35,755 --> 00:00:38,315 Speaker 2: I think that the Democrats have been very, very opposed 6 00:00:38,355 --> 00:00:41,195 Speaker 2: to Jewish people, That's true, and to Israel. All you 7 00:00:41,235 --> 00:00:43,115 Speaker 2: have to do is look at Senator Schumer. What he 8 00:00:43,155 --> 00:00:46,115 Speaker 2: did with Israel is a disgrace and I think Israel 9 00:00:46,155 --> 00:00:47,955 Speaker 2: will probably not forget it very soon. 10 00:00:48,275 --> 00:00:51,235 Speaker 1: That was late yesterday, This was Monday. Why do the 11 00:00:51,235 --> 00:00:54,035 Speaker 1: Democrats hate Bibi and Natanyahu? 12 00:00:55,075 --> 00:00:57,875 Speaker 2: I actually think they hate Israel. Yes, I don't think 13 00:00:57,915 --> 00:01:00,435 Speaker 2: they hate it. I think they hate Israel and the 14 00:01:00,515 --> 00:01:03,595 Speaker 2: Democrat Party hates Israel. I really believe they hate Israel. 15 00:01:03,795 --> 00:01:09,355 Speaker 2: Any Jewish persons that votes for Democrats hates their religion. 16 00:01:09,835 --> 00:01:13,195 Speaker 2: They hate everything about Israel, and they should be ashamed 17 00:01:13,195 --> 00:01:15,475 Speaker 2: of themselves because Israel would be destroyed. 18 00:01:15,755 --> 00:01:17,595 Speaker 1: And this was twenty nineteen. 19 00:01:18,035 --> 00:01:21,355 Speaker 2: In my opinion, you vote for a Democrat, you're being 20 00:01:21,475 --> 00:01:26,235 Speaker 2: very disloyal to Jewish faithful and you're being very disloyal 21 00:01:26,555 --> 00:01:27,115 Speaker 2: to Isael. 22 00:01:27,755 --> 00:01:31,675 Speaker 1: It is the fundamental trope of anti Semitism, and it 23 00:01:31,755 --> 00:01:34,275 Speaker 1: is always the first excuse for everything on the scale, 24 00:01:34,275 --> 00:01:37,915 Speaker 1: from gentlemen's agreements to Paul Gram's to the Holocaust. It 25 00:01:38,035 --> 00:01:41,755 Speaker 1: is the baseline belief Trump has shown throughout his life 26 00:01:42,435 --> 00:01:46,195 Speaker 1: that Jews are loyal not to their country, but do 27 00:01:46,315 --> 00:01:51,835 Speaker 1: something or somewhere else Judaism or Israel or both. And 28 00:01:51,995 --> 00:01:54,715 Speaker 1: last September it was Trump at the fake Union rally 29 00:01:54,715 --> 00:01:58,355 Speaker 1: in Detroit telling them and his social media cult joined 30 00:01:58,395 --> 00:02:02,875 Speaker 1: the ultimate strike against the globalist class. And in twenty 31 00:02:02,915 --> 00:02:05,235 Speaker 1: twenty two it was Trump saying that American Jews quote, 32 00:02:05,395 --> 00:02:08,155 Speaker 1: have to get their act together before it is too late. 33 00:02:09,195 --> 00:02:11,075 Speaker 1: And on Hanakah at the White House it was Trump 34 00:02:11,155 --> 00:02:14,555 Speaker 1: telling the crowd about your country, and the crowd was Americans, 35 00:02:14,555 --> 00:02:17,515 Speaker 1: but Trump meant Israel. And in twenty eighteen it was 36 00:02:17,555 --> 00:02:20,635 Speaker 1: Trump telling General John Kelly that Hitler did good things. 37 00:02:21,515 --> 00:02:23,875 Speaker 1: And it was in nineteen ninety that Evanna Trump told 38 00:02:23,875 --> 00:02:26,955 Speaker 1: her lawyer that Trump kept a book of Hitler's speeches 39 00:02:27,235 --> 00:02:30,395 Speaker 1: in a cabinet by his bed, and Trump got all 40 00:02:30,435 --> 00:02:32,995 Speaker 1: flustered and confirmed he had the book and he kept 41 00:02:33,035 --> 00:02:34,835 Speaker 1: it by his bed. But it's not like he bought 42 00:02:34,875 --> 00:02:36,955 Speaker 1: it and of course he never read it, even though 43 00:02:36,955 --> 00:02:40,755 Speaker 1: he has now introduced new Hitler ploys as recently as 44 00:02:40,755 --> 00:02:45,795 Speaker 1: this past weekend, the whole January sixth hostages. That's just 45 00:02:45,835 --> 00:02:48,835 Speaker 1: a replay of how Hitler used to talk about Nazi 46 00:02:48,835 --> 00:02:52,555 Speaker 1: Party members who had been jailed and his reverence for 47 00:02:52,635 --> 00:02:56,235 Speaker 1: Ashley Babbitt. That's just a replay of Hitler's constant invocation 48 00:02:56,755 --> 00:03:00,675 Speaker 1: of horsed vessel shot by the Communists and the idea 49 00:03:00,675 --> 00:03:05,995 Speaker 1: of having a second national anthem that only he plays. 50 00:03:07,475 --> 00:03:11,075 Speaker 1: That's just the coanthem of Germany until nineteen forty five, 51 00:03:11,435 --> 00:03:18,075 Speaker 1: the horsed vessel song. I don't know how this could 52 00:03:18,075 --> 00:03:23,435 Speaker 1: be any clearer, whatever the deeper psychology of Trump, from 53 00:03:23,475 --> 00:03:28,195 Speaker 1: being a disturbed and apparently homicidal child, through adulthood and 54 00:03:28,275 --> 00:03:31,995 Speaker 1: now into old age, when some deterioration has been added 55 00:03:31,995 --> 00:03:36,315 Speaker 1: to this fatal mix. There is a simple through line. 56 00:03:36,395 --> 00:03:40,315 Speaker 1: He craves money, He craves power. He does not feel 57 00:03:40,315 --> 00:03:44,755 Speaker 1: alive without both everything and everyone else he pretends to 58 00:03:44,995 --> 00:03:47,635 Speaker 1: like and love. He does so because he believes it 59 00:03:47,755 --> 00:03:51,955 Speaker 1: or they can get him money and power. There are 60 00:03:52,035 --> 00:03:57,795 Speaker 1: no other genuine emotions. There are no restraints, There is 61 00:03:57,875 --> 00:04:01,595 Speaker 1: no consciousness of guilt. There is no remorse, there is 62 00:04:01,635 --> 00:04:06,355 Speaker 1: no fear of getting caught. If Trump could win this 63 00:04:06,475 --> 00:04:11,235 Speaker 1: election by imprisoning America's Jews, he would do it. If 64 00:04:11,235 --> 00:04:16,035 Speaker 1: he could win the election by forcibly converting the Gentiles 65 00:04:16,795 --> 00:04:21,515 Speaker 1: to Judaism, he'd do that. And therein lies the ultimate 66 00:04:21,595 --> 00:04:25,155 Speaker 1: danger of Trump's particular version of anti Semitism. It is 67 00:04:25,435 --> 00:04:28,435 Speaker 1: a moral He can switch it on or off as 68 00:04:28,475 --> 00:04:32,475 Speaker 1: the moment requires. Today he is defending Jews and claiming 69 00:04:32,515 --> 00:04:36,555 Speaker 1: his political opponents are attacking them and endangering their country. 70 00:04:37,075 --> 00:04:40,115 Speaker 1: Tomorrow he will again be insisting that they are endangering 71 00:04:40,195 --> 00:04:46,795 Speaker 1: him by being loyal to their country. Of the thousand 72 00:04:47,075 --> 00:05:11,635 Speaker 1: different madnesses of Trump, this may be the most dangerous one. 73 00:05:11,755 --> 00:05:15,515 Speaker 1: We now know. Trump's argument to the Supreme Court defending 74 00:05:15,555 --> 00:05:21,875 Speaker 1: his fabrication of this fantastical nonsense that is presidential immunity, namely, 75 00:05:21,955 --> 00:05:27,075 Speaker 1: you cannot prosecute a former president because nobody ever has 76 00:05:28,675 --> 00:05:30,595 Speaker 1: dress it up with a lot of legal jargon at 77 00:05:30,635 --> 00:05:34,195 Speaker 1: fifteen hundred dollars per billable hour, all you want, but 78 00:05:34,275 --> 00:05:37,755 Speaker 1: that's what it is. Quote from seventeen eighty nine to 79 00:05:37,835 --> 00:05:41,795 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three begins John Sowers, fifty one pages of 80 00:05:41,835 --> 00:05:45,675 Speaker 1: extremely creative writing submitted last night to the Supreme Court. 81 00:05:46,275 --> 00:05:49,915 Speaker 1: No former or current president faced criminal charges for his 82 00:05:49,955 --> 00:05:55,635 Speaker 1: official acts for good reason. This same logic proves that 83 00:05:55,675 --> 00:05:59,675 Speaker 1: we can never have a woman president because there's never 84 00:05:59,715 --> 00:06:02,115 Speaker 1: been one. For that matter, we can never have a 85 00:06:02,235 --> 00:06:09,475 Speaker 1: Republican president serve non consecutive terms because we've never had one. 86 00:06:09,715 --> 00:06:13,435 Speaker 1: There is a reason no ex president has faced criminal charges, 87 00:06:13,475 --> 00:06:17,755 Speaker 1: and the reason is Ford pardoned Nixon. They both knew 88 00:06:17,755 --> 00:06:21,315 Speaker 1: he was liable for indictment at prosecution. Nixon tried to 89 00:06:21,475 --> 00:06:24,435 Speaker 1: rationalize actually going to prison by saying, a lot of 90 00:06:24,475 --> 00:06:29,155 Speaker 1: great writing has been done there. Once our nation crosses 91 00:06:29,195 --> 00:06:33,795 Speaker 1: this rubicon, every future president will face de facto blackmail 92 00:06:33,835 --> 00:06:37,435 Speaker 1: and extortion while in office, and will be harassed by 93 00:06:37,515 --> 00:06:42,315 Speaker 1: politically motivated prosecution after leaving office over his most sensitive 94 00:06:42,395 --> 00:06:47,715 Speaker 1: and controversial decisions quote, even though none of that has happened, 95 00:06:48,235 --> 00:06:51,875 Speaker 1: not to Ford, who followed Nixon, not to Carter, who 96 00:06:51,875 --> 00:06:56,195 Speaker 1: followed both of them. We have a thirteenth Amendment because 97 00:06:56,235 --> 00:07:01,075 Speaker 1: Abraham Lincoln, as he finished winning the Civil War, feared 98 00:07:01,075 --> 00:07:04,195 Speaker 1: that many of his emergency acts during that war, including 99 00:07:04,235 --> 00:07:07,355 Speaker 1: the Amana Patient of the slaves, might in peacetime be 100 00:07:07,595 --> 00:07:12,875 Speaker 1: overturned by the courts, but so what it sounds good. 101 00:07:13,955 --> 00:07:17,715 Speaker 1: Trump believes in no laws. He hires lawyers who get 102 00:07:17,755 --> 00:07:21,755 Speaker 1: paid whether he loses or not, I mean Alina Habba, 103 00:07:22,835 --> 00:07:26,315 Speaker 1: and he is confident he has hired Supreme Court judges 104 00:07:26,315 --> 00:07:30,315 Speaker 1: who owe him so like every other Republican, just more loudly, 105 00:07:30,915 --> 00:07:34,515 Speaker 1: and like every other Republican, just more baldly, and just 106 00:07:34,635 --> 00:07:38,715 Speaker 1: like every other Republican, just more dangerously. Trump decides on 107 00:07:38,795 --> 00:07:43,755 Speaker 1: the outcome he wants and then makes up whatever rationale 108 00:07:43,755 --> 00:07:48,315 Speaker 1: he needs based on voluminous information available to President Trump 109 00:07:48,475 --> 00:07:52,155 Speaker 1: in his official capacity. Reads a part of page five 110 00:07:52,395 --> 00:07:57,275 Speaker 1: of the Immunity Imagination Brief, the election was tainted by 111 00:07:57,315 --> 00:08:06,395 Speaker 1: extensive fraud and irregularities. Unquote voluminous information, not fact. Doesn't 112 00:08:06,395 --> 00:08:12,115 Speaker 1: say factual, just says voluminous, just big thick Manila folders 113 00:08:12,115 --> 00:08:17,155 Speaker 1: of information. Like nine days before he was inaugurated, those 114 00:08:17,275 --> 00:08:20,035 Speaker 1: Manila folders stacked high on the table in front of 115 00:08:20,115 --> 00:08:23,315 Speaker 1: him at his press conference, full of all those documents 116 00:08:23,315 --> 00:08:26,955 Speaker 1: he had signed turning over all his business interests to 117 00:08:27,195 --> 00:08:32,435 Speaker 1: all his sons, which he hadn't signed because there weren't 118 00:08:32,435 --> 00:08:36,435 Speaker 1: any documents because he didn't turn over his businesses, and 119 00:08:36,475 --> 00:08:39,875 Speaker 1: he wouldn't let anybody look inside the Manila folders because 120 00:08:39,915 --> 00:08:46,315 Speaker 1: the pages were blank, but the information was voluminous. And 121 00:08:46,395 --> 00:08:50,035 Speaker 1: I continue to think that the best answer to the 122 00:08:50,195 --> 00:08:55,035 Speaker 1: entire presidential immunity bullshit is to remind the justices that 123 00:08:55,115 --> 00:08:58,955 Speaker 1: they would be turning the president into an untouchable monarch. 124 00:08:59,755 --> 00:09:02,915 Speaker 1: And at the moment they issued such a ruling, Joe 125 00:09:02,915 --> 00:09:06,355 Speaker 1: Biden could arrest any of them he didn't like, and 126 00:09:06,475 --> 00:09:10,555 Speaker 1: arrest Trump, and arrest any Trump supporter he didn't like, 127 00:09:10,875 --> 00:09:14,035 Speaker 1: and jail them all indefinitely and cancel the election. And 128 00:09:14,115 --> 00:09:16,835 Speaker 1: as long as he could make it happen, he could 129 00:09:16,875 --> 00:09:22,635 Speaker 1: always get away with it. Try that out at fifteen 130 00:09:22,715 --> 00:09:27,555 Speaker 1: hundred dollars per billable hour. Oh and there's a new 131 00:09:27,595 --> 00:09:30,235 Speaker 1: Trump court case, and I think I already see the 132 00:09:30,235 --> 00:09:32,435 Speaker 1: outcome of this one. It has been filed, it has 133 00:09:32,475 --> 00:09:35,835 Speaker 1: been publicized, the Trump thugs have threatened lives about it. 134 00:09:36,115 --> 00:09:38,755 Speaker 1: And the last time you will hear about this case 135 00:09:38,995 --> 00:09:45,595 Speaker 1: is maybe this weekend, or maybe right now. It will 136 00:09:45,715 --> 00:09:49,635 Speaker 1: vanish without a trace, and then it will be like 137 00:09:49,675 --> 00:09:55,315 Speaker 1: those twenty seventeen Manila folders. Oh right, he did do 138 00:09:55,515 --> 00:10:01,795 Speaker 1: that most people fell for it. He has sued ABC 139 00:10:02,555 --> 00:10:09,395 Speaker 1: and George Stephanopolis defamation because during Nancy Mace's implosion on 140 00:10:09,475 --> 00:10:14,195 Speaker 1: this week, Stephanopoulos said Trump had raped Egene Carroll. The 141 00:10:14,275 --> 00:10:18,515 Speaker 1: Trump defense remains, to paraphrase, that Trump was not found 142 00:10:18,555 --> 00:10:25,795 Speaker 1: guilty of penetrating her with his penis, only with his finger. Trump. 143 00:10:25,875 --> 00:10:27,995 Speaker 1: That may not be the flex you think it is, 144 00:10:28,795 --> 00:10:33,155 Speaker 1: especially since it implies that she was unable to physically 145 00:10:33,235 --> 00:10:47,395 Speaker 1: tell the difference. And now that rarest of events, wherein 146 00:10:47,675 --> 00:10:51,195 Speaker 1: I thank Trump for giving me a fresh news hook 147 00:10:51,395 --> 00:10:52,875 Speaker 1: on an old story. 148 00:10:55,755 --> 00:10:58,315 Speaker 2: Oh, I couldn't care us. I couldn't care us. We 149 00:10:58,395 --> 00:10:59,035 Speaker 2: need pages. 150 00:10:59,155 --> 00:11:01,715 Speaker 1: We need strong people in our CUTCHA. We need strong 151 00:11:01,755 --> 00:11:03,755 Speaker 1: people in this cut you. We don't need a weak people. 152 00:11:04,035 --> 00:11:07,075 Speaker 1: Trump late yesterday finally reacting to his own vice president, 153 00:11:07,115 --> 00:11:09,315 Speaker 1: saying he is not going to support him. And the 154 00:11:09,355 --> 00:11:13,075 Speaker 1: short version is Mike Pence's comments are a shock because 155 00:11:13,115 --> 00:11:16,915 Speaker 1: typically when Trump tries to defame another Republican, or destroy 156 00:11:16,995 --> 00:11:22,195 Speaker 1: another Republican, or get another Republican killed, they end up 157 00:11:22,275 --> 00:11:25,835 Speaker 1: endorsing him. The long version is a little bit more 158 00:11:25,835 --> 00:11:32,155 Speaker 1: important because of the Stalin Rule. The Stalin rule is 159 00:11:32,235 --> 00:11:35,475 Speaker 1: rule number six out of the seven Rules for dealing 160 00:11:35,475 --> 00:11:39,715 Speaker 1: with Autocrats and their Enablers by Trig v Olsen of 161 00:11:39,795 --> 00:11:43,075 Speaker 1: Viking Strategies, and I am indebted to mister Olson for 162 00:11:43,235 --> 00:11:47,035 Speaker 1: letting me read his rules verbatim here. He developed these 163 00:11:47,075 --> 00:11:50,195 Speaker 1: for his international work, deploying around the world to train 164 00:11:50,395 --> 00:11:55,635 Speaker 1: activists fighting for democracy in places like Belarus and Vilnius, 165 00:11:55,635 --> 00:12:01,115 Speaker 1: in Ukraine and Georgia and parts of Central Asia. And 166 00:12:01,155 --> 00:12:03,555 Speaker 1: if we don't stop Trump, trig v Olsen will be 167 00:12:03,595 --> 00:12:07,435 Speaker 1: training activists to try to restore a democracy here. So 168 00:12:07,595 --> 00:12:11,515 Speaker 1: listen carefully and in your mind. By Mike Pence a drink, 169 00:12:11,915 --> 00:12:14,035 Speaker 1: you can always kick him in the nether is later. 170 00:12:14,915 --> 00:12:19,195 Speaker 1: Seven rules for dealing with Autocrats and their Enablers by 171 00:12:19,235 --> 00:12:23,195 Speaker 1: trigvy Olsen. Rule number one. Play the game you are in, 172 00:12:23,555 --> 00:12:27,555 Speaker 1: not the one you wish or want to play. This means, 173 00:12:27,555 --> 00:12:31,035 Speaker 1: when one side is playing the zero sum illiberal game, 174 00:12:31,475 --> 00:12:34,435 Speaker 1: there is no win win to be played. You will 175 00:12:34,475 --> 00:12:39,555 Speaker 1: either win and democracy survives, or you lose to the 176 00:12:39,595 --> 00:12:45,275 Speaker 1: autocratic forces. Rule number two. Always speak truth to power 177 00:12:45,515 --> 00:12:49,475 Speaker 1: because you never know the tipping point. You must confront 178 00:12:49,515 --> 00:12:52,835 Speaker 1: the big lies of illiberal forces by speaking truth to 179 00:12:53,035 --> 00:12:57,435 Speaker 1: their base of power the people. There is a tipping 180 00:12:57,515 --> 00:13:05,195 Speaker 1: point where your truth or the big lies prevail. Number three. 181 00:13:05,275 --> 00:13:08,555 Speaker 1: Don't hand the autocrats battering rams with which to beat you. 182 00:13:09,915 --> 00:13:12,515 Speaker 1: The game you are in. The battle you are fighting 183 00:13:12,635 --> 00:13:17,035 Speaker 1: isn't about policy or ideology. They will use what you 184 00:13:17,115 --> 00:13:20,835 Speaker 1: say to divide you from your allies, who you need 185 00:13:20,875 --> 00:13:25,715 Speaker 1: to win the battle for democracy. Editor's note he wrote 186 00:13:25,715 --> 00:13:28,915 Speaker 1: this before Ian Bremmer clutched his pearls about Trump's blood 187 00:13:28,955 --> 00:13:34,435 Speaker 1: bath remark. Rule number four. Understand authoritarians must live in 188 00:13:34,475 --> 00:13:39,555 Speaker 1: a truth free present. The past presents truths about the 189 00:13:39,595 --> 00:13:45,955 Speaker 1: big lies and fear the illiberal forces. Use the future 190 00:13:46,115 --> 00:13:50,155 Speaker 1: for autocratic forces only matters for maintaining power. At the moment, 191 00:13:50,515 --> 00:13:58,795 Speaker 1: they only care about keeping slash gaining power. Rule number 192 00:13:58,835 --> 00:14:05,795 Speaker 1: five practice zero sum judo. Use their tactics against them, 193 00:14:06,595 --> 00:14:14,115 Speaker 1: big truths, marginalization, make them dependent, mock the disinformation, divide 194 00:14:14,155 --> 00:14:18,075 Speaker 1: and conquer their power structure. Use their desire for the 195 00:14:18,195 --> 00:14:26,795 Speaker 1: legitimacy of democracy against them. Rule number six the Stalin rule. 196 00:14:27,395 --> 00:14:32,315 Speaker 1: This is the Pence part. Stand together with anyone who 197 00:14:32,395 --> 00:14:37,715 Speaker 1: will join you to disturb, disrupt, and diminish the illiberal structures, 198 00:14:37,995 --> 00:14:41,395 Speaker 1: even if you share nothing in common beyond a love 199 00:14:41,515 --> 00:14:44,795 Speaker 1: of democracy and how much you loathe their politics. In 200 00:14:44,875 --> 00:14:50,275 Speaker 1: normal times, you fight side by side with them. It's 201 00:14:50,275 --> 00:14:54,795 Speaker 1: the Pence part. We have already seen it accomplished in 202 00:14:54,835 --> 00:15:02,515 Speaker 1: the Liz Cheney part. Rule number seven of seven. Wake 203 00:15:02,795 --> 00:15:07,355 Speaker 1: up every day thinking where can the vertical power structure 204 00:15:07,435 --> 00:15:13,875 Speaker 1: be exposed, confronted and destabilized. Each of us and all 205 00:15:13,955 --> 00:15:17,475 Speaker 1: of us on Team Democracy must wake up every day 206 00:15:17,515 --> 00:15:20,515 Speaker 1: and ask what can I do to be on the 207 00:15:20,595 --> 00:15:30,595 Speaker 1: side of restoring faith and confront the fear they use. Ultimately, 208 00:15:31,675 --> 00:15:34,635 Speaker 1: writes Olsen, I am an optimist when the fear of 209 00:15:34,715 --> 00:15:38,955 Speaker 1: the illiberal autocrat erodes because people show they are not afraid. 210 00:15:39,915 --> 00:15:44,315 Speaker 1: Faith takes hold and others want and will join the fight. 211 00:15:45,395 --> 00:15:48,435 Speaker 1: It is one we must win in America. It is 212 00:15:48,475 --> 00:15:52,555 Speaker 1: one we will win because more Americans stand for democracy 213 00:15:52,635 --> 00:15:56,355 Speaker 1: that has made us great than for an autocrat who 214 00:15:56,395 --> 00:16:05,875 Speaker 1: is constantly tearing us apart and down. Thank you, Trick 215 00:16:05,955 --> 00:16:11,675 Speaker 1: v Olsen, Thank you Main Street Research Polls. The good 216 00:16:11,715 --> 00:16:17,435 Speaker 1: news is, and I've deliberately put this last, this might 217 00:16:18,235 --> 00:16:23,195 Speaker 1: be the start of the run on the polling bank. 218 00:16:24,835 --> 00:16:28,715 Speaker 1: Biden forty seven, Trump forty five. New poll from Main 219 00:16:28,875 --> 00:16:33,555 Speaker 1: Street Research and Florida Atlantic University last Thursday through Sunday. 220 00:16:33,595 --> 00:16:37,035 Speaker 1: Their previous poll was February third, and it had been 221 00:16:38,155 --> 00:16:42,915 Speaker 1: Trump forty five, Biden forty one. Now Biden forty seven, 222 00:16:42,955 --> 00:16:47,355 Speaker 1: Trump forty five, six points, moving not from Trump to 223 00:16:47,435 --> 00:16:54,315 Speaker 1: Biden six points, moving from undecided to Biden, exactly as 224 00:16:54,315 --> 00:16:58,875 Speaker 1: the Biden campaign had predicted once Trump locked up the 225 00:16:58,915 --> 00:17:04,715 Speaker 1: Republican nomination. Biden forty seven, Trump forty five. That's the 226 00:17:04,755 --> 00:17:07,955 Speaker 1: good news. The bad news. The five thirty eight Polster 227 00:17:08,035 --> 00:17:15,395 Speaker 1: rankings has Main Street FAU as the eighty fifth best 228 00:17:15,435 --> 00:17:18,795 Speaker 1: poll of the nation. The good news, that's eighty five 229 00:17:18,835 --> 00:17:22,875 Speaker 1: out of two hundred and seventy seven. As we did 230 00:17:22,995 --> 00:17:25,075 Speaker 1: our best to not make too much out of the 231 00:17:25,155 --> 00:17:28,635 Speaker 1: very recent mind numbing bad polls, so too should we 232 00:17:28,715 --> 00:17:32,355 Speaker 1: not make too much of the even more recent, heartwarming 233 00:17:32,515 --> 00:17:36,515 Speaker 1: good polls, unless this is the start of a new wave, 234 00:17:36,555 --> 00:17:46,435 Speaker 1: in which case you heard it here first. Also of interest, here, 235 00:17:46,475 --> 00:17:49,155 Speaker 1: a liberal New York Times columnist tells a crowd that 236 00:17:49,195 --> 00:17:54,035 Speaker 1: the paper does not have enough conservative columnists, and no, 237 00:17:55,075 --> 00:18:00,275 Speaker 1: the crowd was not in this Ohio diner, and the 238 00:18:00,355 --> 00:18:04,195 Speaker 1: latest done Rupert Burdock's fabricated story about me and Trump. 239 00:18:04,395 --> 00:18:07,395 Speaker 1: And if you're tired of me talking about stochastic terrorist 240 00:18:07,475 --> 00:18:12,715 Speaker 1: death threats, sorry, now I got one. That's next. This 241 00:18:12,995 --> 00:18:40,955 Speaker 1: is countdown. This is countdown with Keith Olberman still ahead 242 00:18:40,995 --> 00:18:44,675 Speaker 1: of us on this initiative countdown. Hey, it's Trump's anniversary, 243 00:18:45,715 --> 00:18:48,715 Speaker 1: not exactly, but Saturday will be one year since his 244 00:18:48,875 --> 00:18:55,555 Speaker 1: latest wave of terrorist threats began, directed stochastically at first 245 00:18:55,955 --> 00:18:58,835 Speaker 1: towards the District Attorney of Manhattan County here in New York, 246 00:18:58,915 --> 00:19:03,715 Speaker 1: Alvin Bragg. The threats have gradually expanded to well, anybody 247 00:19:03,715 --> 00:19:06,315 Speaker 1: who's thwarted him. I mean, he is a psychopath. He 248 00:19:06,395 --> 00:19:08,915 Speaker 1: has standards he is expected to live up to as 249 00:19:08,955 --> 00:19:12,875 Speaker 1: a psychopath. And now they have extended by extension to 250 00:19:13,035 --> 00:19:18,755 Speaker 1: me again. Details on that, and instead of things I 251 00:19:18,795 --> 00:19:20,835 Speaker 1: promise not to tell, it's things I need to remind 252 00:19:20,875 --> 00:19:25,795 Speaker 1: you about. Next. First, still more idiots to talk about. 253 00:19:25,795 --> 00:19:28,075 Speaker 1: The daily roundup of the miss Grants, morons and Dunning 254 00:19:28,115 --> 00:19:32,995 Speaker 1: kruegriffect specimens who constitute two days worst persons in the world. 255 00:19:34,075 --> 00:19:38,235 Speaker 1: First the bronze worse, Mark Levin. Mark Levin is that 256 00:19:38,515 --> 00:19:41,955 Speaker 1: high pitched sound you may hear on some deluded relatives 257 00:19:42,075 --> 00:19:46,475 Speaker 1: radio or on the weekends on Fox. He looks like 258 00:19:46,515 --> 00:19:50,235 Speaker 1: he hasn't slept since nineteen seventy three. He sounds like 259 00:19:50,275 --> 00:19:53,235 Speaker 1: he's been ignoring advice to get his deviated septum fixed 260 00:19:53,275 --> 00:19:56,275 Speaker 1: since at least that far back. Poor Mark Levin is 261 00:19:56,315 --> 00:20:01,955 Speaker 1: the standard fascist blusterer, except periodically, he says the funniest things, 262 00:20:02,235 --> 00:20:06,235 Speaker 1: the most revelatory things, without knowing he's done it, and 263 00:20:06,315 --> 00:20:10,915 Speaker 1: he's done it again. Why are there no Republican multime billionaires, 264 00:20:11,395 --> 00:20:15,555 Speaker 1: he asked on Nazi Twitter, offering to lend President Trump 265 00:20:16,355 --> 00:20:18,635 Speaker 1: the money to file the funds to file his appeal 266 00:20:18,675 --> 00:20:21,675 Speaker 1: in the outrageous case in New York State, And none 267 00:20:21,715 --> 00:20:24,115 Speaker 1: of them liquid enough to help or join with others 268 00:20:24,155 --> 00:20:29,235 Speaker 1: to help. This is an outrage. There are so many 269 00:20:29,355 --> 00:20:33,115 Speaker 1: unconscious confessions here, it's hard to know where to start. 270 00:20:34,195 --> 00:20:39,235 Speaker 1: First of all, wait, isn't Trump a Republican multi billionaire. 271 00:20:39,715 --> 00:20:44,275 Speaker 1: Doesn't he have this money? Like his attorney said a 272 00:20:44,315 --> 00:20:47,555 Speaker 1: month ago that he had the money. Then there's the 273 00:20:47,595 --> 00:20:51,075 Speaker 1: fact that Mark thinks he's asking a rhetorical question here 274 00:20:51,115 --> 00:20:54,755 Speaker 1: when he's not. Why are there no Republican multi billionaires 275 00:20:54,955 --> 00:20:59,435 Speaker 1: offering to lend Donald Trump four hundred and sixty five 276 00:20:59,475 --> 00:21:04,835 Speaker 1: million dollars to lend him that much money. Maybe Mark, 277 00:21:05,115 --> 00:21:11,195 Speaker 1: because they don't think he would pay them back lend Oh, 278 00:21:11,235 --> 00:21:13,835 Speaker 1: Mark Levin, you crack me up. Thank you. I needed 279 00:21:13,835 --> 00:21:17,395 Speaker 1: the laugh today The runner up worser CNN and good 280 00:21:17,395 --> 00:21:21,395 Speaker 1: old David zaz laugh. Some good news for cable TV 281 00:21:21,515 --> 00:21:24,395 Speaker 1: news viewers. CNN is going to air one hour less 282 00:21:24,755 --> 00:21:28,355 Speaker 1: of its weekend Drek. The bad news is that's because 283 00:21:28,395 --> 00:21:32,235 Speaker 1: it's going to instead play reruns of the Bill Maher 284 00:21:32,435 --> 00:21:36,795 Speaker 1: Show starting this Saturday. Bill Maher's Show, which, in case 285 00:21:36,835 --> 00:21:40,355 Speaker 1: you're saying, oh, I remember Bill Maher, He's still on 286 00:21:41,235 --> 00:21:44,235 Speaker 1: it runs live on HBO on Friday nights. It will 287 00:21:44,235 --> 00:21:47,835 Speaker 1: now run as well, a day late and thus a 288 00:21:47,915 --> 00:21:52,075 Speaker 1: full day out of date with commercials inserted somehow, on 289 00:21:52,195 --> 00:21:57,075 Speaker 1: CNN at eight pm Saturday. This is clearly the result 290 00:21:57,115 --> 00:22:01,115 Speaker 1: of Mar's signal ratings triumph during the Chris lickt era 291 00:22:01,195 --> 00:22:04,795 Speaker 1: at CNN, when they took Mars online post show h 292 00:22:05,115 --> 00:22:08,755 Speaker 1: panel discussion and aired it on CNN on Friday night 293 00:22:08,795 --> 00:22:11,755 Speaker 1: at about eleven thirty. That started last year about this 294 00:22:11,835 --> 00:22:13,515 Speaker 1: time of year, and all I could find out about 295 00:22:13,515 --> 00:22:16,115 Speaker 1: how it did in the ratings was that on April seventeenth, 296 00:22:16,475 --> 00:22:20,995 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, every other hour on Fox and MSNBC 297 00:22:21,235 --> 00:22:25,035 Speaker 1: that night drew at least one million viewers per show. 298 00:22:25,315 --> 00:22:30,035 Speaker 1: Every other hour CNN Friday Night at eleven, the Bill 299 00:22:30,115 --> 00:22:33,515 Speaker 1: Maher hour two hundred and seventy seven thousand viewers two 300 00:22:33,555 --> 00:22:37,675 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy seven thousand, and that was for a 301 00:22:37,715 --> 00:22:41,435 Speaker 1: show from the same night, recorded literally minutes earlier and 302 00:22:41,515 --> 00:22:47,875 Speaker 1: not previously seen on cable TV. The real motivation for 303 00:22:47,955 --> 00:22:50,275 Speaker 1: doing this is actually a little bit more cynical than oh, 304 00:22:50,315 --> 00:22:52,875 Speaker 1: I'm sure this will work. God, something's got to work. 305 00:22:54,475 --> 00:22:57,315 Speaker 1: Even though all the CNN executives who tried Bill Maher 306 00:22:57,475 --> 00:23:01,195 Speaker 1: last year are working elsewhere this year. The upper managers 307 00:23:01,235 --> 00:23:04,675 Speaker 1: of that company and I forget what it's called zaz 308 00:23:04,795 --> 00:23:07,435 Speaker 1: lav Land, they know they are not going to draw 309 00:23:07,635 --> 00:23:11,395 Speaker 1: flies with a day old political insight and comedy show 310 00:23:11,435 --> 00:23:14,355 Speaker 1: based on what Bill Maher read this week in the 311 00:23:14,395 --> 00:23:18,435 Speaker 1: columns of Barry Weiss and Maureen Dowd and George will 312 00:23:18,955 --> 00:23:21,075 Speaker 1: In other words, they're not going to get any ratings 313 00:23:21,115 --> 00:23:23,835 Speaker 1: from a political insight and comedy show without any comedy 314 00:23:23,835 --> 00:23:27,355 Speaker 1: and without any insight. They're doing it because they inexplicably 315 00:23:27,435 --> 00:23:31,155 Speaker 1: just re signed mar to a two year contract extension 316 00:23:31,475 --> 00:23:34,435 Speaker 1: and putting his rerun on at eight pm on Saturday 317 00:23:34,515 --> 00:23:38,715 Speaker 1: nights on CNN is called amortizing, even if it literally 318 00:23:38,835 --> 00:23:42,515 Speaker 1: draws like two hundred and fifty viewers. The point is 319 00:23:42,595 --> 00:23:46,155 Speaker 1: the costs at CNN for the eight pm Saturday hour 320 00:23:46,515 --> 00:23:50,835 Speaker 1: have just been reduced from like a million dollars at 321 00:23:50,915 --> 00:23:53,915 Speaker 1: least to however much it costs to pay the guy 322 00:23:54,075 --> 00:23:59,235 Speaker 1: who presses that one Bart button that reads play. I 323 00:23:59,275 --> 00:24:01,275 Speaker 1: got an idea for CNN and zaz Lab. Maybe they 324 00:24:01,275 --> 00:24:05,155 Speaker 1: could get this Don Lemon new online interviews series like 325 00:24:05,195 --> 00:24:10,515 Speaker 1: that one with the Elon Musk, Partheid, Clyde Ketamine Gene 326 00:24:10,835 --> 00:24:15,595 Speaker 1: run them Don Lemon interviews on Saturday at eight pm. Wait, 327 00:24:15,715 --> 00:24:17,875 Speaker 1: there's a flaw somewhere in that idea. I just can't 328 00:24:17,875 --> 00:24:21,435 Speaker 1: put my finger on. But our winner the worst, Nick 329 00:24:21,555 --> 00:24:25,755 Speaker 1: Christoff of the New York Times editorial columnist, very earnest, 330 00:24:26,475 --> 00:24:29,435 Speaker 1: very earnest guy, and like the rest of them, he 331 00:24:29,595 --> 00:24:34,035 Speaker 1: is receding slowly from reality into that hiding place, that 332 00:24:34,195 --> 00:24:38,955 Speaker 1: craven haven, that news organizations that have lost the plot go. 333 00:24:39,675 --> 00:24:42,035 Speaker 1: If everybody hates us, we must be doing it right. 334 00:24:42,755 --> 00:24:47,395 Speaker 1: That is rarely true. When everybody hates you, it usually 335 00:24:47,475 --> 00:24:50,355 Speaker 1: just means you are trying to appease people who will 336 00:24:50,435 --> 00:24:53,915 Speaker 1: always hate you, and you are failing the people who 337 00:24:53,995 --> 00:24:56,835 Speaker 1: want to not hate you. That's where the New York 338 00:24:56,875 --> 00:25:01,555 Speaker 1: Times is get this. Politico reports that it's something called 339 00:25:01,715 --> 00:25:06,115 Speaker 1: the Faith Angle Forum in Florida. Christoph has told the 340 00:25:06,195 --> 00:25:10,075 Speaker 1: audience there that The Times made a mistake in firing 341 00:25:10,195 --> 00:25:13,875 Speaker 1: the former editorial page editor James Bennett. If you can't 342 00:25:13,875 --> 00:25:16,835 Speaker 1: place that name, he was the bozo who gave Senator 343 00:25:16,875 --> 00:25:20,635 Speaker 1: Tom Cotton space in The New York Times to portray 344 00:25:20,715 --> 00:25:24,315 Speaker 1: the relatively minor looting that accompanied the twenty twenty Black 345 00:25:24,355 --> 00:25:30,555 Speaker 1: Lives Matter protests as lawlessness and riots that were carnivals 346 00:25:30,635 --> 00:25:35,755 Speaker 1: for the thrill seeking rich. It was racist, it was inaccurate, 347 00:25:36,035 --> 00:25:39,275 Speaker 1: and it read like the description of the action in 348 00:25:39,315 --> 00:25:43,715 Speaker 1: a Tom and Jerry cartoon, a Tom Cotton and Jerry cartoon. 349 00:25:44,235 --> 00:25:47,395 Speaker 1: And Tom Cotton topped it off by demanding that Trump 350 00:25:47,475 --> 00:25:52,235 Speaker 1: send in troops to stop the out of control violence 351 00:25:52,315 --> 00:25:54,835 Speaker 1: in New York City. What he should have done is 352 00:25:54,875 --> 00:25:57,275 Speaker 1: write an op ed demanding that Trump send in troops 353 00:25:57,435 --> 00:26:01,075 Speaker 1: to feed and teach the kids. Of Arkansas, who get 354 00:26:01,075 --> 00:26:04,155 Speaker 1: the forty third best education and the forty third best 355 00:26:04,395 --> 00:26:07,915 Speaker 1: child healthcare in the nation with Tom Cotton as their 356 00:26:07,955 --> 00:26:12,715 Speaker 1: idiot senator. AnyWho. Apart from defending the editor who let 357 00:26:12,715 --> 00:26:16,075 Speaker 1: that pile of crap published that pile of crap, Nick 358 00:26:16,155 --> 00:26:21,275 Speaker 1: Christoph also said the Times needed more right wing columnists quote, 359 00:26:21,915 --> 00:26:23,915 Speaker 1: I think it would be better off if we had 360 00:26:23,955 --> 00:26:28,315 Speaker 1: really tough, more conservative opinion pieces and letters to the editor, 361 00:26:28,795 --> 00:26:32,315 Speaker 1: adding the Times would have more credibility as a news organization. 362 00:26:33,435 --> 00:26:37,995 Speaker 1: First of all, wait, wait, wait, wait, the Times still 363 00:26:38,035 --> 00:26:43,075 Speaker 1: publishes letters to the editor, like letters to the editor 364 00:26:44,315 --> 00:26:47,995 Speaker 1: from before the Internet was invented, to provide the single 365 00:26:48,195 --> 00:26:51,235 Speaker 1: rarest thing in the America of twenty twenty four, a 366 00:26:51,395 --> 00:26:57,075 Speaker 1: place somewhere where people well informed or underinformed or just 367 00:26:57,155 --> 00:27:01,835 Speaker 1: totally uninformed can express their nit witted opinions. Because there 368 00:27:01,875 --> 00:27:04,955 Speaker 1: is no platform now for these people, no place to 369 00:27:04,955 --> 00:27:08,795 Speaker 1: make public there what should we call them their comments? 370 00:27:09,795 --> 00:27:13,915 Speaker 1: Holy cow? Letters to the editor. Does the Time still 371 00:27:13,955 --> 00:27:19,195 Speaker 1: publish a sunrise and sunset table too? Yesterday's weather details 372 00:27:19,875 --> 00:27:22,955 Speaker 1: the full results from all the horse races. I mean, 373 00:27:22,995 --> 00:27:27,195 Speaker 1: the Times killed its sports section, but it's still publishing 374 00:27:27,555 --> 00:27:35,035 Speaker 1: letters to the editor, Greta van Yonkers. Yonkers, Dear editor, 375 00:27:35,435 --> 00:27:39,115 Speaker 1: I have been reading your newspaper since the year eighteen 376 00:27:39,315 --> 00:27:42,795 Speaker 1: fifty seven, and I want to object to the recent 377 00:27:42,915 --> 00:27:50,235 Speaker 1: introduction of crossword puzzles. That's not journalism. President Buchanan will 378 00:27:50,275 --> 00:27:54,355 Speaker 1: hear about this, But of course the headline in this 379 00:27:54,435 --> 00:27:58,835 Speaker 1: story is Christoff wants more conservatives in the New York Times. 380 00:27:58,955 --> 00:28:00,515 Speaker 1: I do think we can be wrong on a lot 381 00:28:00,515 --> 00:28:04,475 Speaker 1: of things, or we can miss important arguments, like what 382 00:28:05,875 --> 00:28:08,315 Speaker 1: like how Trump should be anointed king and we shouldn't 383 00:28:08,315 --> 00:28:10,795 Speaker 1: have any more elections, like how we should send in 384 00:28:10,835 --> 00:28:16,875 Speaker 1: federal troops to reinstate sharecropping in Arkansas at gunpoint? Exactly 385 00:28:16,875 --> 00:28:20,355 Speaker 1: who do you think conservatives are today, mister christoph That's 386 00:28:20,395 --> 00:28:23,475 Speaker 1: one point The Times and most of that ever decreasing 387 00:28:23,515 --> 00:28:26,995 Speaker 1: bubble of media not threatened with imminent extinctionion the Times 388 00:28:26,995 --> 00:28:30,395 Speaker 1: has utterly no connection to reality anymore. What used to 389 00:28:30,395 --> 00:28:34,675 Speaker 1: be conservatives have split into two groups, former Republicans who 390 00:28:34,675 --> 00:28:38,035 Speaker 1: are trying hard to stop Trump at all costs, and bluntly, 391 00:28:38,075 --> 00:28:39,995 Speaker 1: most of them are trying harder to stop him than 392 00:28:40,035 --> 00:28:42,795 Speaker 1: we are. That's one group. The other group of former 393 00:28:42,835 --> 00:28:47,555 Speaker 1: Republicans are now Nazis. There's almost nobody else. At least 394 00:28:47,555 --> 00:28:51,115 Speaker 1: half of the Tea Party, the rabid dogs of twenty ten. 395 00:28:51,195 --> 00:28:53,115 Speaker 1: At least half the Tea Party is now part of 396 00:28:53,115 --> 00:28:57,995 Speaker 1: the resistance. Nikki Hayley was tea Party? You want columns 397 00:28:58,035 --> 00:29:00,875 Speaker 1: from them? Or do you want more Tom Cotton? Or 398 00:29:00,875 --> 00:29:03,275 Speaker 1: do you want a nice piece written by Marjorie Taylor 399 00:29:03,355 --> 00:29:08,995 Speaker 1: Green using a wedged into her three toed feet. The 400 00:29:09,155 --> 00:29:15,635 Speaker 1: Times lists eighteen editorial columnists, Charles M. Blow, Jamel Bowie, 401 00:29:16,235 --> 00:29:20,875 Speaker 1: Gail Collins, Michelle Goldberg, Carlos Lozada, doctor Tresi McMillan, cottum 402 00:29:21,355 --> 00:29:25,875 Speaker 1: Lydia Paul Green, and ZANEB. Chuffecki. They're pretty reliable and 403 00:29:25,915 --> 00:29:30,075 Speaker 1: informed liberals. That's eight. And there's David Brooks Ross do that, 404 00:29:31,075 --> 00:29:35,355 Speaker 1: doubt that? Doubt that? And Brett Stevens. They are flaming 405 00:29:35,395 --> 00:29:38,395 Speaker 1: conservatives who often produce columns befitting that title. They should 406 00:29:38,395 --> 00:29:43,195 Speaker 1: have been burned instead of published. David French is a conservative, okay. 407 00:29:43,835 --> 00:29:47,035 Speaker 1: Pamela Paul is an abomination, and I think her bosses 408 00:29:47,275 --> 00:29:50,195 Speaker 1: think she's kind of a liberal, and her bosses are 409 00:29:50,435 --> 00:29:54,155 Speaker 1: sure that. Thomas Friedman, Paul Krugman, Marine Daud and the 410 00:29:54,275 --> 00:29:57,475 Speaker 1: we don't have enough conservative guys, mister Christoph. They are 411 00:29:57,515 --> 00:30:00,435 Speaker 1: sure that those four are liberal. In fact, you can 412 00:30:00,475 --> 00:30:03,595 Speaker 1: no longer tell, because basically all foll of them, four 413 00:30:03,595 --> 00:30:06,315 Speaker 1: of them have fallen into this trap of writing almost 414 00:30:06,315 --> 00:30:10,715 Speaker 1: exclusively about what they wrote about in nineteen ninety nine. 415 00:30:11,035 --> 00:30:13,675 Speaker 1: I said this in a column three thousand columns ago. 416 00:30:14,115 --> 00:30:18,595 Speaker 1: And they and Ezra Kleine are the masters of showing 417 00:30:18,635 --> 00:30:21,795 Speaker 1: off just how liberal they actually are by making sure 418 00:30:21,835 --> 00:30:26,035 Speaker 1: they write anything positive they can think of about conservatives, 419 00:30:26,235 --> 00:30:31,875 Speaker 1: whether it's true or not. Final score eight liberals, four conservatives, 420 00:30:31,955 --> 00:30:34,835 Speaker 1: one nut job. Five liberals who write like they get 421 00:30:34,835 --> 00:30:36,995 Speaker 1: an extra five bucks every time they say something nice 422 00:30:36,995 --> 00:30:40,995 Speaker 1: about conservatives, and whose columns are as predictable as well 423 00:30:41,035 --> 00:30:44,195 Speaker 1: as the sunrise and sunset tables, except when they make 424 00:30:44,235 --> 00:30:46,555 Speaker 1: fools of themselves, like the day Ezra Cline demanded the 425 00:30:46,595 --> 00:30:49,715 Speaker 1: Democrats replace Biden. And it was clear from that column 426 00:30:49,955 --> 00:30:52,995 Speaker 1: and the follow up column apologizing for that column that 427 00:30:53,155 --> 00:30:55,595 Speaker 1: neither Ezra nor any editor at the New York Times 428 00:30:55,675 --> 00:30:59,035 Speaker 1: had any idea that the actual mechanism by which Biden 429 00:30:59,115 --> 00:31:01,395 Speaker 1: could be replaced. If it had been a good idea 430 00:31:01,475 --> 00:31:04,275 Speaker 1: that that mechanism just did not exist. They did not 431 00:31:04,435 --> 00:31:09,315 Speaker 1: know this. Eight liberals, ten nonliberals of all stripes, eighteen 432 00:31:09,635 --> 00:31:14,315 Speaker 1: editorial columnists, and by the way, not one potential Hall 433 00:31:14,395 --> 00:31:19,315 Speaker 1: of Famer, not one you could not replace tomorrow. But ultimately, 434 00:31:19,355 --> 00:31:21,835 Speaker 1: what drives me nuts about what Nick Christoph has said 435 00:31:22,035 --> 00:31:25,395 Speaker 1: is the Times is not the op ed section, It's 436 00:31:25,435 --> 00:31:28,755 Speaker 1: the whole newspaper, and every day the whole newspaper, The 437 00:31:28,795 --> 00:31:32,115 Speaker 1: whole New York Times is getting not more objective, but 438 00:31:32,235 --> 00:31:38,195 Speaker 1: more timid, not more responsible but more noncommittal, not more reportorial, 439 00:31:38,275 --> 00:31:42,435 Speaker 1: but more As if they took that Twitter satirist Doug J. Balloon, 440 00:31:42,755 --> 00:31:46,075 Speaker 1: the guy who does New York Times pitchpot, and turned 441 00:31:46,115 --> 00:31:50,275 Speaker 1: the infamous Times phrase in this Ohio diner into an 442 00:31:50,315 --> 00:31:53,795 Speaker 1: emblem of The Times slowly dying under the weight of 443 00:31:53,835 --> 00:31:57,915 Speaker 1: its new overarching ambition to be everything to everyone, but 444 00:31:58,075 --> 00:32:01,275 Speaker 1: especially to the people who will never ever ever read 445 00:32:01,435 --> 00:32:04,595 Speaker 1: The Times. As if they took every New York Time 446 00:32:04,675 --> 00:32:07,875 Speaker 1: Times pitch bot tweet and printed it out and slapped 447 00:32:07,875 --> 00:32:10,715 Speaker 1: a cover on it, reading New York Times style book, 448 00:32:11,795 --> 00:32:16,035 Speaker 1: more conservative columnists, if the Times had any more conservative 449 00:32:16,075 --> 00:32:19,875 Speaker 1: columnists and editors and reporters, or at least editors and 450 00:32:19,915 --> 00:32:23,395 Speaker 1: reporters who are for some reason terrified of conservatives. If 451 00:32:23,395 --> 00:32:28,435 Speaker 1: The Times increased its conservative footprints by like two more writers, 452 00:32:28,835 --> 00:32:33,195 Speaker 1: it would have more conservatives producing the paper than reading it. 453 00:32:34,435 --> 00:32:37,275 Speaker 1: And if this were a conservative nation in the new 454 00:32:37,395 --> 00:32:39,995 Speaker 1: Nazi sense of the word conservative, I guess this would 455 00:32:40,035 --> 00:32:44,755 Speaker 1: make some sense economically and editorially. But it's not. It's 456 00:32:44,835 --> 00:32:48,235 Speaker 1: not a Nazi nation. And if it becomes one, the 457 00:32:48,315 --> 00:32:50,995 Speaker 1: first thing it's fuer Trump and all his mini feurers 458 00:32:51,035 --> 00:32:54,795 Speaker 1: will do is burn down the goddamned New York Times 459 00:32:54,835 --> 00:33:00,635 Speaker 1: to the ground. Should the Times opinion section be uniformly 460 00:33:00,675 --> 00:33:06,355 Speaker 1: to the left of say me nose. Thanks. But if 461 00:33:06,435 --> 00:33:11,075 Speaker 1: Nick Christoff thinks there aren't enough conservatives writing in the Times, 462 00:33:11,555 --> 00:33:13,715 Speaker 1: say nothing of him not getting the point that letters 463 00:33:13,755 --> 00:33:16,555 Speaker 1: to the editor stopped having any relevance at all in 464 00:33:16,595 --> 00:33:19,875 Speaker 1: about nineteen ninety nine. If Nick Christoff thinks there aren't 465 00:33:19,995 --> 00:33:22,995 Speaker 1: enough conservatives making the Times look like the Wall Street 466 00:33:23,075 --> 00:33:27,675 Speaker 1: Journal editorial page, just shut it down. Shut the paper down. 467 00:33:27,875 --> 00:33:31,035 Speaker 1: You're pissing off your readership, and worse, you are betraying 468 00:33:31,155 --> 00:33:34,235 Speaker 1: the truth and the nation. At least shut down the 469 00:33:34,315 --> 00:33:38,995 Speaker 1: opinion pages. Again, What does America need now more than 470 00:33:39,035 --> 00:33:45,035 Speaker 1: ever more opinions. Fire all those people and replace their 471 00:33:45,075 --> 00:33:49,195 Speaker 1: columns with their old columns. It would be at least 472 00:33:49,195 --> 00:33:53,275 Speaker 1: three weeks before any reader noticed. Then fold the op 473 00:33:53,475 --> 00:33:56,915 Speaker 1: ed section in the opinion section and just run every 474 00:33:56,995 --> 00:34:01,395 Speaker 1: result from every third red racetrack in America. That would 475 00:34:01,395 --> 00:34:06,635 Speaker 1: mean less horsepoop than you have now, nick, more conservatives, 476 00:34:06,635 --> 00:34:10,595 Speaker 1: and more headlines questioning Biden's age, instead of Trump's anti 477 00:34:10,635 --> 00:34:14,835 Speaker 1: semitism and threats to arrest everybody he doesn't like, including you, 478 00:34:14,955 --> 00:34:21,035 Speaker 1: Christoph two days worst person in the world in this 479 00:34:21,355 --> 00:34:42,435 Speaker 1: ohiodaland instead of things I promised not to tell. I 480 00:34:42,435 --> 00:34:45,555 Speaker 1: want to step back a year nearly. This upcoming is 481 00:34:45,595 --> 00:34:48,515 Speaker 1: from last March twenty fourth, It could just as easily 482 00:34:48,515 --> 00:34:52,115 Speaker 1: be from March twenty fourth, twenty sixteen, or any of 483 00:34:52,155 --> 00:34:56,315 Speaker 1: the other March twenty fourth. Since Donald Trump is a terrorist, 484 00:34:56,915 --> 00:35:01,315 Speaker 1: a stochastic terrorist, meaning he says something and being a 485 00:35:01,355 --> 00:35:04,195 Speaker 1: personal coward, and also really good at getting other people 486 00:35:04,235 --> 00:35:07,075 Speaker 1: to do things for him. Other people make the threats 487 00:35:07,355 --> 00:35:10,435 Speaker 1: and make the bombs. I want to go back to 488 00:35:10,515 --> 00:35:13,795 Speaker 1: Trump and Alvin Bragg and why the only answer, no 489 00:35:13,795 --> 00:35:16,755 Speaker 1: matter how long we delay answering it this way. The 490 00:35:16,915 --> 00:35:20,235 Speaker 1: only answer to this is to charge Trump with terrorism 491 00:35:20,515 --> 00:35:23,875 Speaker 1: and take him out of our society and keep him 492 00:35:23,915 --> 00:35:29,635 Speaker 1: out of our society peacefully, lawfully, non violently, but get 493 00:35:29,835 --> 00:35:34,875 Speaker 1: him the f out of here. As preface, if this 494 00:35:35,075 --> 00:35:38,635 Speaker 1: episode of the podcast has seemed a little hurried or 495 00:35:38,675 --> 00:35:42,555 Speaker 1: in some places sounded like I've been reading slowly, I've 496 00:35:42,595 --> 00:35:45,675 Speaker 1: been busy all day dealing with the aftermath of how 497 00:35:45,715 --> 00:35:49,595 Speaker 1: a fellow named Jeffrey Clark of Fox Digital started this 498 00:35:49,915 --> 00:35:53,395 Speaker 1: lie that I was somehow in favor of the assassination 499 00:35:53,555 --> 00:35:56,795 Speaker 1: of Trump, when in fact I want Trump to be 500 00:35:56,915 --> 00:35:59,915 Speaker 1: correct when he says he's been treated worse than Lincoln, 501 00:36:00,235 --> 00:36:06,275 Speaker 1: namely by dying in prison after conviction. Clark, Now, that's 502 00:36:06,315 --> 00:36:08,995 Speaker 1: an interesting coincidences. Got to be a different Jeffrey Clark, 503 00:36:10,235 --> 00:36:14,355 Speaker 1: doesn't it. Jeffrey Clark wrote his false version, and then 504 00:36:14,395 --> 00:36:18,515 Speaker 1: somebody named Snidjanna. That's how it's spelled. No clue is 505 00:36:18,515 --> 00:36:23,835 Speaker 1: the pronunciations. Nayana Farbarov rewrote the piece in the New 506 00:36:23,915 --> 00:36:25,875 Speaker 1: York Post, and they got what they wanted when they 507 00:36:25,915 --> 00:36:28,635 Speaker 1: did this. My agent's got a death threat against me. 508 00:36:29,515 --> 00:36:33,035 Speaker 1: That's the point of this. Trump introduces political violence into 509 00:36:33,075 --> 00:36:37,555 Speaker 1: this country. The Republicans shrug and thus enable it. The Democrats, oh, 510 00:36:37,595 --> 00:36:39,835 Speaker 1: they clutch pearls and do nothing about it. And then 511 00:36:39,875 --> 00:36:42,835 Speaker 1: Trump's who is at News Corp? Help hold up a 512 00:36:42,915 --> 00:36:45,675 Speaker 1: sign pointing at whoever they want to cause trouble for, 513 00:36:46,115 --> 00:36:49,155 Speaker 1: and some gutless psycho winds up directing a death threat 514 00:36:49,475 --> 00:36:54,635 Speaker 1: at the guy standing next to me. Nice work, Jeffrey Clark, 515 00:36:55,275 --> 00:36:58,995 Speaker 1: Nice work, s Farbarov, Nice work guy who left the 516 00:36:59,075 --> 00:37:03,635 Speaker 1: voicemail threat, which has a caller ID number attached to it. 517 00:37:03,835 --> 00:37:06,915 Speaker 1: If you know Don Donald, No, it's a different Donald. 518 00:37:07,315 --> 00:37:10,515 Speaker 1: If you know Donald, thank him for me for being 519 00:37:10,595 --> 00:37:14,595 Speaker 1: so stupid, because yes, as a practical matter, don't get alarmed. 520 00:37:15,035 --> 00:37:18,155 Speaker 1: My first death threat was in LA in the early nineties. 521 00:37:18,635 --> 00:37:21,595 Speaker 1: I said on KNX radio that a Dodgers outfielder named 522 00:37:21,635 --> 00:37:24,355 Speaker 1: Cal Daniels had loafed during a game. And I said 523 00:37:24,355 --> 00:37:27,275 Speaker 1: this primarily because Cal hit a ball to third base 524 00:37:27,635 --> 00:37:30,275 Speaker 1: and the third baseman bobbled it, kicked it, chased it 525 00:37:30,315 --> 00:37:33,675 Speaker 1: into foul territory, picked it up, looked forlornly around, and 526 00:37:33,715 --> 00:37:36,395 Speaker 1: then found, to his astonishment that Cal Daniels had never 527 00:37:36,475 --> 00:37:38,675 Speaker 1: run out of the batter's box. Towards first base and 528 00:37:38,835 --> 00:37:42,595 Speaker 1: was in fact walking back towards the Dodgers. Dugout a 529 00:37:42,635 --> 00:37:45,355 Speaker 1: minute after I said Cal Daniels had loafed. The phone 530 00:37:45,435 --> 00:37:47,715 Speaker 1: rang in the newsroom and they said over a minutes 531 00:37:47,715 --> 00:37:49,315 Speaker 1: for you. And a guy on the phone said, I 532 00:37:49,355 --> 00:37:51,595 Speaker 1: know where your station is, and I know when you leave, 533 00:37:51,835 --> 00:37:53,635 Speaker 1: and I'll be waiting out there to cut your tongue 534 00:37:53,635 --> 00:37:57,355 Speaker 1: out for daring to criticize the Dodgers. I told him, yeah, 535 00:37:57,475 --> 00:38:00,035 Speaker 1: be there. You got the time, right, go ahead. I 536 00:38:00,075 --> 00:38:02,915 Speaker 1: called the cops. I recorded my last show in advance, 537 00:38:02,915 --> 00:38:05,035 Speaker 1: and I left early, just to be sure that's what 538 00:38:05,075 --> 00:38:08,275 Speaker 1: you do. There was the fake antrax I told you 539 00:38:08,315 --> 00:38:10,555 Speaker 1: about the other day, and there was pretty much a 540 00:38:10,555 --> 00:38:13,595 Speaker 1: weekly threat of some kind throughout the second Bush administration. 541 00:38:14,235 --> 00:38:17,315 Speaker 1: The most recent death threat until now was when the 542 00:38:17,355 --> 00:38:19,275 Speaker 1: FBI told me a couple of years ago I was 543 00:38:19,315 --> 00:38:23,115 Speaker 1: on the honorary mentioned list in the computer of the magabomber, 544 00:38:23,475 --> 00:38:26,435 Speaker 1: the guy who painted his hair on More on that 545 00:38:26,515 --> 00:38:29,835 Speaker 1: story presently. I will say that long ago it dawned 546 00:38:29,875 --> 00:38:31,835 Speaker 1: on me that we have been heading toward the place 547 00:38:31,875 --> 00:38:36,275 Speaker 1: we are in now a long time, at least thirty 548 00:38:36,315 --> 00:38:39,115 Speaker 1: five years on this track I'm not sure how we 549 00:38:39,195 --> 00:38:42,195 Speaker 1: get back if we get back, but we have to 550 00:38:42,235 --> 00:38:45,235 Speaker 1: stop this by taking those who are causing this, those 551 00:38:45,235 --> 00:38:48,275 Speaker 1: who are exploiting it, out of our society peacefully and 552 00:38:48,315 --> 00:38:51,955 Speaker 1: non violently, but not acquiescing any longer to what they 553 00:38:51,995 --> 00:38:54,195 Speaker 1: do and what they have learned they can get away 554 00:38:54,195 --> 00:38:57,755 Speaker 1: with doing from Trump. He didn't start this, He just 555 00:38:57,795 --> 00:39:01,555 Speaker 1: figured out how to master it, and so they need 556 00:39:01,555 --> 00:39:04,435 Speaker 1: to be taught a lesson, and the lesson is Trump 557 00:39:04,795 --> 00:39:08,555 Speaker 1: goes to jail for life. The other thing I learned 558 00:39:08,555 --> 00:39:11,755 Speaker 1: about this years ago. If you're going to get a 559 00:39:11,835 --> 00:39:15,155 Speaker 1: death threat over something you said on radio, on television, 560 00:39:15,275 --> 00:39:18,795 Speaker 1: on a podcast on cable, in a movie, if you're 561 00:39:18,835 --> 00:39:22,315 Speaker 1: going to get a death threat, it's probably better if 562 00:39:22,355 --> 00:39:25,275 Speaker 1: you are dealing with it over things that matter, like 563 00:39:25,835 --> 00:39:27,755 Speaker 1: whether we're going to live in a democracy or in 564 00:39:27,795 --> 00:39:30,755 Speaker 1: a dictatorship in which the dictator ignores all the laws 565 00:39:31,235 --> 00:39:33,555 Speaker 1: and gets other people to issue death threats on his 566 00:39:33,715 --> 00:39:37,235 Speaker 1: behalf or gets other people to kill people on his behalf. 567 00:39:37,435 --> 00:39:41,155 Speaker 1: It's better if your problems with death threats are over 568 00:39:41,235 --> 00:39:46,075 Speaker 1: stuff like that. Then if they're about Cal Daniels of 569 00:39:46,155 --> 00:40:02,035 Speaker 1: the LA Dodgers. If I told you Donald Trump was 570 00:40:02,195 --> 00:40:06,795 Speaker 1: an animal who should be he removed immediately, not removed 571 00:40:06,795 --> 00:40:10,235 Speaker 1: from office, but just removed. If I told you Trump 572 00:40:10,315 --> 00:40:13,995 Speaker 1: was quote doing the work of the devil. If I 573 00:40:14,035 --> 00:40:17,275 Speaker 1: told you Trump was destroying our country, quote as they 574 00:40:17,355 --> 00:40:21,555 Speaker 1: tell us to be peaceful. If I showed you two pictures, 575 00:40:21,955 --> 00:40:24,355 Speaker 1: one of Trump and next to it one of me, 576 00:40:25,435 --> 00:40:27,875 Speaker 1: and I'm holding a baseball bat about to swing it, 577 00:40:28,315 --> 00:40:31,835 Speaker 1: posed exactly as Robert de Niro portraying Al Capone was 578 00:40:32,035 --> 00:40:34,795 Speaker 1: in the movie The Untouchables, just before he beat another 579 00:40:34,875 --> 00:40:37,795 Speaker 1: character to death with a baseball bat. If I showed 580 00:40:37,835 --> 00:40:41,595 Speaker 1: you thirty other social media posts I had made in 581 00:40:41,635 --> 00:40:44,835 Speaker 1: twenty four hours, each of them filled with threatening and 582 00:40:44,915 --> 00:40:50,195 Speaker 1: violent and hateful language about Donald Trump, what would you 583 00:40:50,315 --> 00:40:55,835 Speaker 1: think I was trying to tell you? What would you 584 00:40:55,955 --> 00:41:03,475 Speaker 1: think I was hoping you would do? Donald Trump is 585 00:41:03,515 --> 00:41:08,035 Speaker 1: a statistic tear And the Stormy Daniel's case is legitimate 586 00:41:08,075 --> 00:41:12,195 Speaker 1: but comparatively trivial, And the Jack Smith Special Council investigations 587 00:41:12,235 --> 00:41:16,875 Speaker 1: are legitimate and anything but trivial. But Trump's posts yesterday 588 00:41:16,915 --> 00:41:21,275 Speaker 1: about Alvin Bragg, the baseball bat photo post, and the 589 00:41:21,275 --> 00:41:25,075 Speaker 1: post reading quote a sorrows backed animal who just doesn't 590 00:41:25,075 --> 00:41:26,875 Speaker 1: care about right or wrong, no matter how many people 591 00:41:26,915 --> 00:41:30,595 Speaker 1: are hurt. And the post reading quote, this is the Gestapo, 592 00:41:30,755 --> 00:41:33,675 Speaker 1: this is Russia and China but worse. And the post 593 00:41:33,755 --> 00:41:40,635 Speaker 1: reading quote, who should be removed immediately? These are terrorist threats, 594 00:41:41,835 --> 00:41:46,075 Speaker 1: terrorist threats made by Donald Trump on a public platform. 595 00:41:47,595 --> 00:41:54,675 Speaker 1: Arrest him now for terrorism, and his intent and his process, 596 00:41:55,235 --> 00:41:59,195 Speaker 1: and his awareness that his words will be interpreted by 597 00:41:59,315 --> 00:42:04,555 Speaker 1: the most deranged of his cultists as calls, as instructions 598 00:42:04,955 --> 00:42:08,795 Speaker 1: to kill Alvin Bragg and to kill Jack Smith, and 599 00:42:08,835 --> 00:42:12,115 Speaker 1: to kill Letitia James, and to kill Fanny Willis his 600 00:42:12,195 --> 00:42:16,795 Speaker 1: awareness of all that process is undeniable. Because Trump has 601 00:42:16,955 --> 00:42:21,875 Speaker 1: used stochastic terrorism to incite January sixth, and dozens and 602 00:42:21,955 --> 00:42:24,715 Speaker 1: dozens of the violent insurrectionists of that day who attacked 603 00:42:24,715 --> 00:42:27,795 Speaker 1: the capital said on trial under oath, most with a 604 00:42:27,835 --> 00:42:32,235 Speaker 1: sense of surprise that everybody didn't already understand this, that 605 00:42:32,275 --> 00:42:36,075 Speaker 1: they went to capture or kill senators and congressmen and 606 00:42:36,115 --> 00:42:40,515 Speaker 1: a vice president and the media because Donald Trump told 607 00:42:40,555 --> 00:42:46,635 Speaker 1: them too. Stochastic terrorism is often a vague thing. That 608 00:42:46,835 --> 00:42:50,915 Speaker 1: is why it is used. You say something, somebody else 609 00:42:50,955 --> 00:42:54,675 Speaker 1: goes and kills or mames or destroys on your behalf, 610 00:42:54,915 --> 00:42:57,835 Speaker 1: and you respond, I never told them to do that. 611 00:42:58,995 --> 00:43:01,995 Speaker 1: It is the King Henry. The second excuse? Will no 612 00:43:02,075 --> 00:43:05,955 Speaker 1: one rid me of this turbulent priest, said King Henry 613 00:43:05,995 --> 00:43:10,275 Speaker 1: about the Archbishop of Canterbury on Christmas Day eleven seventy, 614 00:43:10,795 --> 00:43:14,035 Speaker 1: and four days later Hugh de Morville, William de Tracy, 615 00:43:14,475 --> 00:43:18,595 Speaker 1: Reginald Fitzers, and Richard le Breton ran the archbishop through 616 00:43:18,675 --> 00:43:24,475 Speaker 1: with their swords. They in eleven seventy then expressed surprise 617 00:43:24,555 --> 00:43:28,355 Speaker 1: that everybody didn't already understand that their king had ordered 618 00:43:28,395 --> 00:43:34,915 Speaker 1: them or somebody to kill the archbishop. The murderers were 619 00:43:34,955 --> 00:43:38,875 Speaker 1: excommunicated and punished, and on the premise that since he 620 00:43:38,955 --> 00:43:43,275 Speaker 1: was only making a rhetorical statement, not unlike District Attorney Bragg, 621 00:43:43,355 --> 00:43:46,075 Speaker 1: is a danger to our country and should be removed immediately. 622 00:43:47,115 --> 00:43:50,115 Speaker 1: King Henry got the benefit of the doubt, and he 623 00:43:50,155 --> 00:43:55,755 Speaker 1: served another seventeen years as the King of England. But 624 00:43:55,995 --> 00:44:00,835 Speaker 1: Trump has already lost that benefit of the doubt. He 625 00:44:00,875 --> 00:44:04,435 Speaker 1: attacked the FBI last summer for executing a completely legal 626 00:44:04,955 --> 00:44:08,035 Speaker 1: warrant at marri Lago. Days later, at Trump fanatic tried 627 00:44:08,075 --> 00:44:11,075 Speaker 1: to get into FBI headquarters in Cincinnati to kill FBI agents. 628 00:44:11,235 --> 00:44:18,835 Speaker 1: That was Trump committing terrorism by proxy, stochastic terrorism. January sixth, 629 00:44:18,835 --> 00:44:22,635 Speaker 1: moodeled a series of tweets and posts and speeches and 630 00:44:22,715 --> 00:44:26,515 Speaker 1: his screeching quote that morning, if you don't fight like hell, 631 00:44:26,555 --> 00:44:29,955 Speaker 1: You're not going to have a country anymore. That was 632 00:44:29,995 --> 00:44:36,395 Speaker 1: Trump committing terrorism by proxy, stochastic terrorism. Before the two 633 00:44:36,435 --> 00:44:39,715 Speaker 1: thousand and eight midterms, Trump attacked Democrats and liberals in 634 00:44:39,755 --> 00:44:43,275 Speaker 1: a way never heard before in American politics. And Caesar 635 00:44:43,475 --> 00:44:48,955 Speaker 1: Sayok then sent pipe bombs to Joe Biden and Corey 636 00:44:48,955 --> 00:44:52,755 Speaker 1: Booker and John Brennan and James Clapper and Hillary Clinton 637 00:44:52,795 --> 00:44:56,115 Speaker 1: and Robert de Niro and Kamala Harris and Eric Holder 638 00:44:56,115 --> 00:44:58,715 Speaker 1: and Barack Obama and George Soros and Tom Steyer and 639 00:44:58,755 --> 00:45:01,635 Speaker 1: Maxine Waters. And a year later, when the FBI finally 640 00:45:01,715 --> 00:45:04,115 Speaker 1: got through Sayox's laptop, it turned out there was a 641 00:45:04,195 --> 00:45:06,835 Speaker 1: second list of targets. And I know this because I 642 00:45:06,955 --> 00:45:12,035 Speaker 1: was on that list. That was Trump committing terrorism by proxy, 643 00:45:12,515 --> 00:45:21,515 Speaker 1: stochastic terrorism. And these social media rage tweets yesterday, primarily 644 00:45:21,555 --> 00:45:24,795 Speaker 1: against Alvin Bragg, but mentioning James and Smith and Willis, 645 00:45:24,875 --> 00:45:30,515 Speaker 1: they are implausibly deniable instructions to whoever is sick enough 646 00:45:30,555 --> 00:45:33,715 Speaker 1: and violent enough and lost enough to accept them as 647 00:45:34,035 --> 00:45:39,635 Speaker 1: what they were intended instructions. Trump told me to attack 648 00:45:39,755 --> 00:45:48,275 Speaker 1: Alvin Bragg. Trump committing terrorism by proxy, stochastic terrorism. This 649 00:45:48,435 --> 00:45:50,155 Speaker 1: is going to have to stop, and it is going 650 00:45:50,195 --> 00:45:52,475 Speaker 1: to have to stop immediately. Because of all the things 651 00:45:52,475 --> 00:45:55,155 Speaker 1: that happened on January sixth, twenty twenty one, the one 652 00:45:55,195 --> 00:45:57,035 Speaker 1: we talked the least about is the fact that this 653 00:45:57,115 --> 00:46:02,675 Speaker 1: country on that day was extraordinarily goddamned lucky. Well, somebody's 654 00:46:02,715 --> 00:46:09,075 Speaker 1: lucky is going to run out, or Trump's And no, specifically, 655 00:46:09,275 --> 00:46:14,475 Speaker 1: precisely and exactly nobody should attack Trump or menace Trump, 656 00:46:14,715 --> 00:46:19,475 Speaker 1: or shoot Trump or kill Trump or any Republican. But 657 00:46:19,555 --> 00:46:22,715 Speaker 1: at the words that Trump wrote yesterday about Alvin Bragg 658 00:46:22,795 --> 00:46:27,635 Speaker 1: were written about him, what would you think the writer meant? 659 00:46:27,875 --> 00:46:34,235 Speaker 1: This is stochastic terrorism. This is not subtle stochastic terrorism, 660 00:46:34,315 --> 00:46:38,675 Speaker 1: nor vague stochastic terrorism, nor gray area stochastic terrorism. The 661 00:46:38,755 --> 00:46:41,755 Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice need 662 00:46:41,795 --> 00:46:45,795 Speaker 1: to act immediately ahead of the Special prosecutor and with 663 00:46:45,875 --> 00:46:49,035 Speaker 1: the same urgency with which one would approach the Republican 664 00:46:49,075 --> 00:46:53,075 Speaker 1: cliche of two thousand and three, the ticking nuclear time 665 00:46:53,155 --> 00:46:57,155 Speaker 1: bomb in some American city. Charge, indict and arrest Trump, 666 00:46:57,195 --> 00:47:04,075 Speaker 1: and do it today. He is a stochastic terrorist.
