Speaker 1 (00:04):
Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. Donald
Trump is now getting into bed with a convicted pedophile, figuratively.

(00:32):
Donald Trump has already cut a deal with a pedophile,
a two day deal to protect a pedophile, to protect
Glane Maxwell from being prosecuted. And I don't care if
that's standard for people in jail for twenty years for
the sexual abuse of children. It's two days of immunity.

(00:55):
It's immunity. It is immunity, and the direction of Donald Trump. Immunity.
What may be a precursor to a deal, what may
be a precursor to a pardon, what may be a
precursor to her walking out of jail any time earlier
than the year two thousand and thirty seven. The latest

(01:18):
from the Trump's teen disaster is Donald Trump is figuratively
getting into bed with a pedophile. You're not making a
deal with You're not giving brief immunity. Two. You're not
maybe pardoning a Paul Manifort for vague financial crimes that,
as bad as they are, you have to look them
up because the only vibe you get is vague financial crime.

(01:41):
You are not pardoning Denesh Desuza for being stupid while Republican.
You're not commuting the sentence of Rod effing Bologoyevitch or
promising to pardon Pete Rose even though it's three months
and he still hasn't pardoned Pete Rose. So if you
bet the under you lose. This is sending the Attorney
General's deputy, previously one of your own personal scumbag sleezebag

(02:08):
Trump shill lawyer mouthpieces to meet with a convicted sex
trafficker and child rapist who is not eligible to be
released until she is seventy six god damned years old,
and giving her two days worth of temporary immunity in
which she can't be further prosecuted for anything she said

(02:32):
to him. Trump, you have already cut a deal with
a pedophile. You, Todd Blanche, You are already figuratively in
bed with a pedophile. You, Donald Trump, are already figuratively
in bed with a pedophile. And you Trump supporters and

(02:57):
blind Maga cult slaves and Republicans in the House and
the Senate, you are all already figuratively in bed with
a pedophile. Two weeks ago, two weeks ago today, one

(03:18):
of Trump's other personal scumbags sleezbag Shill lawyer Mouthpieces. The
now Solicitor General of the United States, John Sour told
the Supreme Court to reject Glaine Maxwell's appeal of her
twenty year sentence. Trump's attorney reminded the Supreme Court that

(03:38):
the former prosecutor had said, Gallaine Maxwell is guilty of
one of the worst crimes imaginable, facilitating and participating in
the sexual abuse of children. That was two weeks ago.
But sure, make a deal. Art of the deal. Trump's
the great deal maker. Make the deal with the rapist
of children, of the woman who essentially held the girls down.

(04:06):
Make the deal with the woman who sold the children
to the rapists. Make that deal, Trump, deal maker. And
you know Trump what that deal is called. It is
called selling your soul to the devil. If you had
any soul left to sell you, Donald Trump and all

(04:35):
of you who support him, stand on the precipice. This
is not the effing access Hollywood tape. This is not
even the January sixth Pardons. You are figuratively getting into

(04:56):
bed with Gallaine Maxwell, and by extension, with Jeffrey Epstein.
You are figuratively getting into bed with pedophiles right now.
You are figuratively getting into bed with the process of

(05:18):
covering up pedophilia. Your shoes are already off. I don't
care who under prosecuted this in the past and which
political group demanded prosecutions when and then went silent as
MAGA did. This is about now and today and now

(05:43):
and today. Trump has already made a deal with a
pedophile about pedophilia, and Trump's deputy attorney general has already
made a deal with a pedophile about pedophilia, and Trump's
supporters have thus already made a deal with a pedophile
about pedophilia. There is now no way out of Trumpstein

(06:05):
for Trump. The only question remains is there a way
out of Trumpstein for Trump's supporters? And this will only
get worse because if Trump tries to hide behind Gallaine
Maxwell in some way, Gallaine Maxwell lying or Gallaine Maxwell fabricating,

(06:27):
or Gallaine Maxwell telling the truth, Trump becomes pro pedophilia.
We who abhor him always have to remind ourselves to
treat Trump as if he is carry White from the
movie Carrie dead and buried and still reaching out to

(06:50):
try to drag Amy, irving to hell with her. He
could have some plan we can't see, it's the only
thing he's good at. He could have some plan. We
can't see, some plan to use Elaine Maxwell in some
way that clears him and implicates I don't know Jerome Powell.

(07:12):
But if not, all Trump will get out of Todd
Blanche's two day trip to see her is a whole
new series of octopus tentacles, or to stick to just
one analogy, here a whole new set of Carrie's arms
reaching up from hell to take Trump with her. And

(07:33):
even if he has some plan, he is his administration
is right now on Gallaine Maxwell's side, and anything from
here other than totally repudiating her is Trump walking blindfolded
through a live minefield. Because, apart from the court of law,

(07:54):
uselessness of Gallaine Maxwell, so useless that one expert remarked
that we're Jeffrey Epstein, still alive and trying to defend
himself today, and Maxwell was I's going to help him
defend himself. His lawyer would never let her testify. She
isn't just damaged goods, but legally she is burnt to
a cinder goods. She is a proven perjurer. But this

(08:20):
is not a court of law. This is Trump's existential
trump Stein crisis unlike anything he has been through in
at least the last ten years. It could dry up
this week, it has still done damage to him that
nothing else previously has done, not even January sixth. This

(08:44):
is Trump's existential crisis and his desperate effort to win
back any any of the eighty three percent of Americans
who are not approving how he is handling trump Stein.
And it blows up those landmines, blowho up. Trump blows

(09:06):
himself up with these simple truths, the first of them
underscored yesterday my Michael A. Cohen, not the ex Trump lawyer,
the guy from the Center for Strategic Studies at Tufts.
Michael A. Cohen notes, if Gleainne Maxwell had had any
information that could have reduced her sentence for child sex trafficking,

(09:29):
why didn't she provide it before they prosecuted her, before
they convicted her, before they sentenced her to twenty years,
before she eliminated herself as a possible witness in Epstein's defense,
before Epstein saw no other way but suicide. Oh, I'll
just hold this other information back and go to the

(09:52):
penitentiary for three years. Three years. Last Friday. By the way,
I'll just wake them all out. That'll show them I'm
playing the long game. Three years in the big house,
much better than telling somebody what I know that could
keep me out of the big house. She has nothing

(10:15):
both new and true. The second truth, as mentioned two
weeks ago, Trump's DOJ argued against her appeal Trump's DOJ
two weeks ago to the Supreme Court two weeks ago.
The third truth. She is convicted of committing heinous crimes

(10:36):
against children. The official Department of Justice records dating back
to the first Trump administration brand her a perpetrator of
sexual crimes against children. These people are by definition not
just no longer credible. Nobody wants to be in the
same room with them. The fourth truth. In her own defense,

(11:01):
Gallainne Maxwell refused to even entertain the possibility of testifying
against anybody else. Suddenly she's entertaining that Trump's critics will
put holes through her on this point alone. She put
holes through herself about this, And guess what happens to

(11:24):
Trump if he's standing behind somebody like that. The fifth truth,
She has already repeatedly lied under oath perjury. Why on
earth would anybody believe she would not lie while not
under oath. On top of the moral degeneracy of just

(11:49):
Trump sending somebody to meet with this scum, apart from
the moral degeneracy of Trump immunizing her even just for
two days, she has no credibility even within the Q
and on trump Ist circles. She is not just one
of humanity's villains. She is not just one of reality's villains.

(12:13):
She is one of the q andon fantasy world's villains.
She doesn't improve Trump's case, she manages somehow to tarnish
Trump's already human garbage reputation. But go ahead, jump into
bed with her. Trump, You should figuratively jump into bed

(12:37):
with this child rapist as many times as you can.
Good call that Trump will certainly stop the Trump's Steen scandal. Now,

(13:12):
this doesn't even factor in the reality that in each
of his desperate attempts to change this subject, Trump has
managed to incriminate himself in some other way Before he
left for Scotland. While trying to clear himself by incriminating
others in the pedophilia end of the Trumpstein scandal, Trump
managed only to clear others in the cover up end

(13:35):
of the Trumpstein scandal and incriminate himself in the cover
up end of the Trumpstein scandal. How how did nobody
else hear this SoundBite and not say wait, Trump is
not only admitting there is an Epstein list, and he

(13:58):
is admitting he has this Epstein list, and he is
boasting that he could easily release this Epstein list, and
that he is boasting he could give it to you
right now. And he is incriminating himself in the cover
up by implying he will not give you this Epstein
list that he confirms exists. You know, you should focus

(14:18):
on Clinton. You should focus on the president of Harvard,
the former president of Harvard. You should focus on some
of the hedge funds. Guys. I'll give you a list.
These guys lived with Jeffrey Epstein. I sure as hell did.
Thank you. I'll give you a list. There's a list.

(14:41):
I'll give you a list. I mean, forgive me for
going out on a limit inferring things here. But when
he says I'll give you a list, that makes me
think there's a list. And when he says I'll give
you a list, that makes me think he can give

(15:01):
me that list. And when he says I'll give you
a list that it makes me think he's not giving
me the list. And that is the essence of the
trumps Steen gover up to which he just confessed guilty.
There's a list, I'll show you a list. I'll give

(15:22):
you a list. I won't give it to you. This
is my point. This slob can't move. He is so
guilty in so many different ways in this one story
that as he tries to de incriminate himself in one

(15:43):
part of this continent sized quicksand pit, he only manages
to sink deeper into a different part of the same pit.
And whichever illegal, immoral move he makes with Glaine Maxwell,
he will only multiply his game of choose your adventure
and guess what he can't survive, and of the adventures,

(16:08):
And on top of all that, something else that seems
to have gone by unnoticed, the details of what there
is of Trump in the Epstein files. Excuse me, in
the Epstein list, Trump confirmed last Friday exists and he
could give it to you. The details of where he

(16:29):
is in them are being leaked out so methodically and
at such regular intervals that I am beginning to suspect
this has all been planned, that somebody is torturing Trump
with this drip drip drip of pedophilia and child trafficking

(16:49):
and Epstein and Galaine Maxwell and blackmail and a Trump
conspiracy to cover all of it up, the cover up
which he has to admit to in hopes that you'll
only think about other people on the list and not
the fact that he has the list and is covering

(17:10):
up the list. This has to have been planned. Somebody
is doing this to him. It's too well organized. Who's
torturing him? On one level? Who cares? Give him a

(17:30):
Nobel Peace prize? See if anybody shows up to claim it.
But if you had to guess who was that? On
June fifth of this year, who tweeted time to drop
the really big bomb. Trump is in the Epstein files.

(17:50):
That is the real reason they have not been made public.
Have a nice day, DJT, who on July sixteenth called
Trump's actions about the files quote a cover up obviously,
who wrote on July twenty second that Speaker Mike Johnson
sent the House of Representatives home before in Epstein vote

(18:10):
for quote only one reason. Who the next day, the
twenty third, responded to the refusal of Trump's Department of
Justice to unseal the Epstein grand jury testimony by writing
a one word accusation, Why and who had almost unfettered

(18:31):
access to every computer in every branch of government every
day for four months, including all of them at the
Department of Justice. Who had a small group of computer
nerds and hackers slavishly devoted personally to him, accessing everything.

(18:57):
Who had Trump's ear Who seemingly had control of many,
if not most, of the tools of Trump's administration, And
I do mean tools until they broke suddenly and dramatically,
like psychopathic narcissists always eventually do break. Who has been
overtaken by waves of embittered, irrational, uncontrollable revenge, not just once,

(19:23):
but after he tried to clean up the first one,
a second one, a second wave. Who could have walked
out of the White House with anything the Department of
Justice had on Epstein, without Pam Blondie or Donald Trump
ever knowing that it was gone. Who could have walked
out with all the Epstein stuff and oh, all the

(19:44):
Epstein trump Stein stuff. Two First Axios reports that Trump's
administration has done a one tot eighty. There's no list
Epstein killed himself, sorry QAnon July sixth, five months after
Bondi said the was a list and it was on

(20:05):
her desk at that moment. At that moment, the DOJ
releases its video of the Epstein suicide minute to prove
he killed himself. That was July seventh. Countless reporters are
tipped to the oopsie in that that video is missing
the Epstein suicide minute. The dog then has to explain

(20:29):
all of its tapes are missing that particular minute of
the day, all July seventh. Trump is then so rattled
he attacks his own supporters for asking about Epstein on
July eighth. On July eleventh, sources tell Wired Wired is
a computer and tech magazine that now the DOJ tape

(20:51):
it's actually several tapes edited together, and that the metadata
on the tape says metadata that stuff computer people traffic
in that the original one doesn't have one minute missing,
it has two minutes in fifty three seconds missing, like
the Watergate gap. July fifteenth, somebody at ABC News, Catherine Falders,

(21:15):
knows enough to ask Trump in a gaggle on the
lawn about everything else, to ask him just randomly out
of the blue, if Pam Bondy told him in a
briefing that he is in the Epstein files. Just out
of nowhere. She thought of that question. She's a good reporter.

(21:38):
I always doubt it when a reporter just suddenly has
a light bulb go off and say, listen, let me
ask you about something that hasn't been talked about in weeks.
July sixteenth, Trump, aware that something is up, calls anybody
asking about Epstein a quote former supporter, and says he
doesn't want their support. That night, July sixteenth, the Wall

(22:01):
Street Journal reports Trump is in the Epstein file and
had composed a body letter cryptically referring to Epstein's beautiful secret.
The Wall Street Journal a paper that billionaires like to
read about themselves. In July twenty second, CNN publishes videos

(22:26):
of Trump and Epstein together and images of Epstein at
Trump's wedding with his second wife, Marla. July twenty third,
The Wall Street Journal again that would be a money newspaper,
reports Bondi did tell Trump in May that he's in
the file, eight days after somebody thought maybe I should

(22:46):
ask him if Bondi told him he's in the file.
July twenty fourth, The New York Times publishes a picture
of the Epstein birthday book and a reference to Trump
in that picture. Wherever did they get that? July twenty fourth,
Trump is so rattled he again insists that the entire
Epstein story is a Democratic plot and that as the

(23:10):
files are revealed quote, we'll see that it is another
Democratic con job, again underscoring that that can't be true,
because if it were, he should be revealing all of
it immediately because it would exonerate him and implicate the Democrats.
And last Friday, as he leaves for Scotland, Trump tries

(23:32):
to prove he is innocent by saying there is a
list of people who lived with Epstein and he could
show it to you, proving he's guilty of lying about
the list, and proving he won't release the list, which
by definition is a cover up. And then Friday, when
he gets to Scotland, he is again asked about what

(23:54):
Pam Bondi told him in their briefing in May, and
now he denies she briefed him at all. This is
not Woodward and Bernstein here. This could be random, good
journalistic work, except for two things. Two things that every

(24:16):
detail in this story has in common all the details concerned, videos,
scans of documents, scans of photographs or other stuff that
would have been in Department of Justice computers, and so
far all of it has dated to May twenty eighth,

(24:37):
or earlier. May twenty eighth, the day Elon Musk left
the White House, eight days before Elon Musk tweeted and
deleted Trump is in the Epstein files. But sure it
could be somebody else, somebody else with access to the
Justice Department computers and videos and scans and records of

(25:02):
Pambondi's briefings of Trump that are in those comput us,
and records of everything in the government up until May
twenty eighth. Could anybody with that kind of access could
be the person torturing Trump, anybody with total access to everything.

(25:26):
So it may be Musk torturing Trump over trump Stein.
And Trump is metaphorically getting into bed with a convicted pedophile.
And as Trump discovered yesterday in Scotland while announcing his
latest bullshit tariff deal with whoever the EU I guess,
as Trump discovered yesterday, trump Stein is never ever ever

(25:52):
going away. The Don's o JVC story, How you gotta
be kidding with that. No, I had nothing to do
with it. Only you would think that not had no
thing to do with this little else rises to the

(26:16):
level of trump'steen But I would be derelict in my
duties if I did not fill you in on Ryan
Walters and the basketball scoreboard theory of being a pervert
or miscreant. Ryan Walters is the superintendent of Education for
the state of Oklahoma and a class one a Bible thumping,
maga fascist nut job. He is that psycho who demanded

(26:41):
that videos be shown in all Oklahoma public schoolrooms of
him praying for Trump before the election. Ryan Walters is
the theocrat who demands the teaching of the Ten Commandments
in public schools. He's the one who demanded the use
of the Trump endorsed ninety dollars Bibles because the free

(27:03):
Bibles aren't good enough. He is the lunatic who is
screening job applicants in Oklahoma based on whether or not
they're woke. Ryan Walters is the idiot who put the
libs of TikTok Witch on his state education board. He
is the head of public education in one of the
statistically stupidest states in the Union and in the world.

(27:27):
Ryan Walters, Superintendent of Education of Oklahoma, who had porn
playing on a TV screen in his office during Thursday's
meeting of the Oklahoma State Board of Education. According to
two of its members, you should excuse the use of

(27:51):
the word members. But two members of that board tell
the media that they saw video featuring two naked women.
One says he thought he saw them on a chiropractic
table in the video playing on a TV in Walter's office,

(28:12):
the video, not the women while they were in there
attending the executive session portion of their meeting in Ryan
Walter's office taxpayer funded State of Oklahoma office space. The
story was broken by non DOC short for non doctrinaire,

(28:34):
the news outlet of the Sustainable Journalism Foundation of Oklahoma.
Non DOC quoted member Becky Walters, who was there, quote,
I was like, what am I seeing? I was kind
of in shock, Honestly. I started a question whether I
was actually seeing what I was seeing. I was like,
is that woman naked? And then I was like, no,
she's got a body suit on. It happened very quickly.

(28:56):
I was like, that is not a body suit. And
I hate to even use these terms, but I said,
those are her nipples. Yes, And then I was looking
closer and I got a full body view and I
was like, that is pubic hair. Even right now, I
couldn't even tell you what I was watching as in aside,

(29:19):
it sounds like an animated version of Trump's drawing for Epstein,
doesn't it. Back to the quote, I was so disturbed
by it that I was like, very loudly and boastfully,
like I was a parent or a teacher. I said,
what is on your TV? What am I watching? He
Walters was like, what what are you talking about? He

(29:40):
stood up and saw it. He made acknowledgment that he
saw it, and I said, turn it off now, and
he was like, what is this? What is this? So
he acknowledged it was inappropriate just by those words. And
he was like, I can't get it to turn off.
I can't figure out how to turn it off. And
I said, get it turned off. So he finally got

(30:00):
it turned off and that was the end of it.
He didn't address it, he didn't apologize, nothing was said.
The implication here is the naked women video was on
a loop in Ryan Walter's office on a TV or
monitor permanently adjusted to make sure you couldn't stop it.

(30:23):
The President pro Temporary of the Oklahoma Senate says, an
investigation into Ryan Walters has begun. Quote. This is a
bizarre and troubling situation that raises serious questions about the
events and what took place during Thursday's executive session at
the Oklahoma State Board of Education's meeting. Director Walters says,
everybody's lying but him. You know how this turns out.

(30:49):
You've known how this turns out before you heard the story.
I've explained previously what a psychiatric professional friend of mine
explained to me when I asked about people like this,
the public face private reality people. You know the types.
The homophobe who's a customer of gay prostitutes, the anti
abortion protester and bomber who has paid for a dozen

(31:12):
abortions in his lifetime. The say Bible thumping, anti porn
fascist head of education who has video of naked women
playing on a loop in his office during an official
state meeting of the Board of Education. I call my
friend's explanation the basketball scoreboard theory of such rationalization. If

(31:36):
you are, say Ryan Walters, there's somebody like him, and
you have decided porn or atheism or wokeness or democrats
are evil and you must fight them. And then it
turns out you collect porn and you frequent I don't know,
transgendered prostitutes, and you commit these sins in your own life,

(31:59):
and you decide you've been a bad boy, and this
makes you anti God and woke and maybe even a
democrat in your mind. In your mind, you are in
a kind of moral basketball game, and each one of
your sins is two points scored against you. So obviously
the solution is not to stop committing what you think

(32:22):
is a sin. That wouldn't work and it could never
be enough. You just must score more points on the
anti sin scoreboard. Then you give up on the sin scoreboard,
so you start shooting threes. You demand the purge of
gays and banning transgender care and banning abortion and putting
up the Ten Commandments in the schools and pimping for

(32:44):
libs of TikTok and Trump, and you point up at
that scoreboard and it's suddenly anti sin one hundred sin
ninety eight. You won, And that means you haven't committed
any sins, because the net effect of your life is
anti sin one hundred to ninety eight two points doesn't matter.
If it's two points, you can't be guilty of sin.

(33:06):
Look at all those anti sin points. In fact, my
friend went on, if you've done so much anti sin
campaigning my term again, that the scoreboard says anti sin
two hundred points, pro sin ninety eight points, you may
very well say to yourself, great, I can go out

(33:28):
and commit eighty more points of sin now, and I'll
still be anti sin. You see God, see Mommy, see Daddy,
see my own conscience. I'm still more anti sin than
pro sin. I covered the spread. Oh god, don't say spread.

(33:50):
In this construction. The Ryan Walters kind of guy just
gave up about ten pro sin points playing porn on
a loop in your office during your Board of Education
executive session. That's at least ten points. In fact, you

(34:12):
may have just blown the lead. Oh god, don't say blown.
That's another two points. Exit Ryan Walters. Also of interest
here the Colbert blowback continues, And all I can tell
you is, while you are still worried about how he's
being silenced, well how he will be silenced when his

(34:36):
show goes off the airth three hundred days from now,
by which time ABC and NBC might have already canceled
their shows. Hadn't thought of that, had you? While you're
still worried about Colbert, you may have missed that part
where CBS and the Ellisons and new boss Jeff Shell

(34:56):
of the CBS Whorehouse have committed a real Goebels level
assault on the First Amendment. They have agreed to a
point and in how censor to make sure CBS News
doesn't do anything Trump wouldn't like. Never mind Colbert, never
mind Late Night TV, never mind comedy the news f

(35:18):
Stephen Colbert. This is what we should be goddamn rioting about.
That's next. This is Countdown. This is Countdown with Keith
Olberman still ahead on this all new edition of Countdown.

(35:54):
So I worked last week with a delightful movie director
with whom I last worked in nineteen eighty seven, the
man who put me in the golf movie Dead Solid Perfect.
I think it's the greatest golf movie of all time.
But it starred Randy Quaid. I swear, and I loved

(36:21):
working with Randy Quaid. He was great our reunion as
my old friend Bobby Roth is doing a documentary on
saving democracy. Next in things, I promise not to tell.
First of all, eve it or not, there's still more
new idiots to talk about. The roundup of the miss Grants,

(36:42):
morons and Dunning Krueger effects specimens who constitute today's other
worst persons in the world. Honorable mention. I don't know
who to cite here. Did the Astronomer company pay Gwyneth
Paltrow to do their self mocking video about the cold
Play canoodling or did she pay them? She was, of

(37:06):
course married to the lead singer of Coldplay, and there
were stories about irregularities in the marriage. And once again,
if you think that the ex CEO and the x
HR person are being unfairly treated and now being unfairly
treated by their former employer, they went to a Coldplay concert.

(37:32):
Their lives were all ready over any who there goes
Chris Martin as a subscriber. The nominees runner up were
Scott McKay. Who is Scott McKay. He claims to have
a source close to high level Trump administration figures he's

(37:56):
a QAnon conspiracy theorist, So those sources could be invisible,
or they might be brownies and elves. Yatt. McKay tells
his audience, fellow morons, whatever they are. That Hillary Clinton
was executed at Guantanamo in twenty eighteen. So what you're

(38:18):
seeing now, that's a different Hillary Clinton. And there were
five or six different people portraying Joe Biden and the
quote fake Obama is going to be arrested soon. This
is the best damn news all day. Multiple Hillary Clinton's,
six Joe Biden's, extra Obamas, all of them there to

(38:39):
kick Trump's ass. Let's go the runner up. There is
a senator dumber than all the other ones, even dumber
than Josh Hawley, even dumber than Ted Cruz, even dumber
than Roger Marshall. We we have Ambry nine, dumber even

(39:02):
than the dumbest congressman or congress woman, dumber than Bobert
and Luna and Marjorie Taylor Green And how great was
that tweet with a picture of Marjorie Taylor Green and
the caption hul Cogan dead at seventy one. Dumber than
all of them, Senator Mike the Internet ate my brain

(39:22):
and my hair. Lee. Mike Lee writes, no executive branch
officer should ever harbor, much less display severe contempt for
any president of the United States. Yet j Powell clearly does.
And there is a clip of Jerome Powell undressing Trump
metaphorically thank God, at that building site last week. The

(39:44):
FED is a no executive branch officer, the chairman of
the FED. That's not part of the executive branch, Senator Lee,
the Federal Reserve is not part of the Federal of
the executive branch. That is the point of having the FED.
The other point is Mike Lee is also dumber than

(40:06):
a balding fifth grader who just flunked out of social
studies class. But the winners, the FCC chairman and those
who are still complaining about the cancelation of the Stephen
Colbert Show next May, Yeah, he silenced him. It's a

(40:27):
criminal conspiracy against Stephen Colbert. You can only say whatever
he wants for the next nine months. Doesn't seem to
me to be a very effective way of silencing somebody.
I'm not trying to defend the Trump administration on this,
but stop giving them goddamn credit for pulling this off.
This is CBS doing this and market forces. You got

(40:49):
a thousand things to complain about like this while you
are paying attention to Stephen Colbert. The FCC is not
doing anything about silencing Stephen Colbert ten months from now.
The FCC has proved the CBS sky Dance, sky Dong
Sky Paramount. Whatever the merger is, it has been approved

(41:13):
and will be run by some of the worst people
in America, the Ellisons. The degenerate ex friend of mine,
Jeff Schell, who was chairman of NBC for like two weeks,
then got fired and started to pursue a lawsuit because
he was unfairly fired, and then dropped the lawsuit without
any money. CBS, the new ownership, the Sherry Redstone Group,

(41:40):
is installing what amounts to an in house political compliance
officer inside CBS News. This is not somebody reporting to Trump.
This is somebody reporting to the board of directors of
the new CBS ownership, who'll be standing over the news saying, now,
you can't say that it's not pro conservative. Now you

(42:03):
can't say that favors them minorities. Quote The New York Times.
In recent days, sky Dance took steps to assuage FCC
chief Brendan Josef Goebel's car. Times didn't call him that
I did, telling the agency that it would install an
official at the news division to ensure fairness in its

(42:26):
journalism and committing to avoiding diversity, equity and inclusion programs
at the company. In his statement, mister Carr lauded these steps,
and by the way, mister Carr has his job because
of a DEI program which admits people with IQ's under ten.
In his statement, mister Carr lauded these steps, saying they
would begin the process of earning back Americans trust. Carr,

(42:48):
the chairman of the FCC, said in a statement that
the agency had approved the deal after receiving assurances from
Skydance that the new company would be committed to unbiased journalism,
which means, of course, Car that they will be committed
to bias journalism, pro Trump journalism, pro fascism, turn journalism,

(43:08):
pro Nazi journalism. Americans no longer trust the legacy national
news media to report fully, accurately, and fairly, mister Carr
said in his statement, it is time for a change.
That is why I welcome sky Dance's commitment to make
significant changes at the once storied CBS broadcast network. Car

(43:31):
doesn't even realize that in his statement, he's acknowledging that
after he's gotten through with it, CBS will no longer
be storied except as a whorehouse. This is CBS a whorehouse. Listen,
Josef Goebbels. You don't trust them because they have been
since the inception in the twenties, they have been reporting fully,

(43:55):
accurately and fairly. And if that is allowed to continue,
those attributes will dethrone Trump and scumbags like you Car.
And by the way, if you don't like the Gobels comparison,
maybe you should stop the Gobels stuff. Asshole Brendan or
if you prefer, call him Dolores Umbradge Car two Day's

(44:18):
other worst person to the number one story on the

(44:44):
Countdown and things I promised not to tell, and sometimes
that becomes things I am all too happy to tell,
and this is one of those. About a month ago
I got an email from a man who said he
was a documentary film producer and director and was producing
and directing a documentary film, Surprisingly Enough, about democracy, about

(45:04):
people in favor of democracy and those who had gone
to some personal effort to save democracy, Tom Morello from
Rage Against the Machine. He said he'd already interviewed him.
He'd interviewed the great environmentalist and protester Peter Coyote, also
the great actor and voiceover actor and voiceover documentarian Peter

(45:26):
Coyote and many others on a great list, and he
now wanted to interview me. And if that were not
enough for me to say yes, Bobby Roth is the
man's name. And Bobby was and remains the director of
the only motion picture I am actually in as an
actor in nineteen eighty seven. Bobby did. And this is

(45:50):
something of a conflict of terminology here a great golf film.
It is my contention that great golf films don't generally exist.
Golf is to me, not a means of conveying any
if you're playing it, God bless you. It's a great
sport and good exercise, and not too much exercise. But

(46:12):
it's a great sport if you're playing it. I never
particularly enjoyed the long game, but the putting game is
fascinating to me. I wouldn't watch golf at gunpoint in
any event. He took the wonderful story of Dead Solid
Perfect by Roy Jenkins, one of Roy Jenkins's golf novels,

(46:33):
and took it and adapted it and made it into
a film for HBO in nineteen eighty seven, and it's
the damnedest movie you'd ever want to see about golf.
A as we used to say at ESPN, moves like
a rocket. It's not like golf. There's no slow play,
it's not boring. It's not a bunch of guys contemplating
their nabels and the exact lie of the putt. It's

(46:56):
not like that. It's about golf as a competitive, cutthroat
industry with terrible people in it and some good ones
and some funny ones. And so he approached me in
nineteen eighty seven, when I was a local sportscaster in
Los Angeles and had dark hair and was twenty eight
years old, and asked me to be announcer number one.

(47:20):
I was to play a golf announcer, and this was
going to be a stretch because I was not a
golf announcer. He gave me a copy of the script.
We met at the Hollywood Masonic Temple near Channel five
in LA I got to watch him film a scene
a press conference. I got to meet the star of
the movie and a couple of the second and third leads.

(47:42):
The star of the movie was a very good, very
nice man, a very good actor whose work I had
seen dating back to my days in high school, A
great guy named Randy Quaid, who was one hundred percent
lovely to me. This is long before things began to deteriorate,
but even after they did, he was one hundred percent

(48:04):
lovely to me. And of all the maga stuff I've
ever seen, the least explicable one is what it did
to Randy Quaid, also an extraordinarily gifted actor. And if
you don't believe me, go see the last detail. It's
Jack Nicholson's film, probably his last small part, and Randy
Quaid overwhelms him. It's Randy Quaid's film. I'll leave it

(48:28):
at that. So Bobby Roth hands me a script and says,
here are your lines, and go home and learn them,
and we'll see you at the Valencia Golf Club at
four o'clock in the morning on such and such a
date summer of nineteen eighty seven, I think July, maybe August.
I get there no sleep, having carefully learned, announce your

(48:51):
number one's lines. I'm going to be in a movie
on HBO. That's when a new HBO film was a
rarity and a big deal, and it usually would then
get a theatrical release somewhere and it live in perpetuity
on syndicated television. And it was just fun. And I
did say to him, you know, I'm not a member

(49:12):
of the Screen Actors Guild. And at that point, after
the TV Actors and TV Performers Union was not merged
with the Screen Actors Guild, you had to be in
both separately. I said, I'm not a member. We'll pay
for your initiation fee. Well, I mean they were giving
me maybe five thousand dollars to be in the film,
and the initiation fee was probably five thousand and two dollars.

(49:33):
They paid both just to get me in the film.
He really wanted me, he was a fan. And so
I show up and I've learned Announcer number one's lines,
and they introduced me to the other guy playing announcer
number one and I said, no, I'm playing announcer number one,
and they said, no, this is Don Morrow. You may
remember Don from such TV commercials as the Shell answer man.

(49:56):
Don Morrow had a perfect voice. Don Morrow was, Hey,
I'm Don Morrow. And Don used to do these commercials
for Shelle gasoline in which he would stand there on
a road with a clipboard and a white doctor's smock
down to his ankles and explain to you that you
should not drive while watching television and that you should

(50:16):
probably remember to put gas in the car and you
should use shell. That was the shell answer man or
mister A h of Akron, Ohio writes in and says
his tires are on fire. What should he do? It's
very simple. Go to here nearest shell dealer and buy
new ones. Try to put the fire out first. That

(50:39):
was the commercials. It made him a fortune, and he
did thousands of other voiceovers for commercials. That was the
one he was on camera for. But now I am
noticing a problem even though I am operating on fumes,
no sleep, and I'm terrified because I haven't acted since
high school. And here I am with a professional crew
and there are hundreds of them there at the golf

(51:00):
club at that hour of the day, and they are
awaiting the arrival of my new friend Randy Quaid, who's
due to shoot that morning and is coming in early
to visit with me. He wants to see us shoot
this scene because he's a fan of mine. But a
problem has arisen. I have learned Announcer number one's line. Meanwhile,

(51:21):
the casting agent for the film has cast another announcer,
number one, Don Morrow. I said, what do we do
about this, mister Morrow. They'll figure it out, and he
went back to reading his newspaper and drinking cup after
a coffee after cup out of coffee. Sure enough, the
second unit director comes over. She has no idea who

(51:41):
I am. She has a large nineteen eighty seven style
walkie talkie, big enough that if she hits you in
the head with it you would lose consciousness. And she says, Hi,
I'm Eileen or whatever her name was. I'm the second
unit director, and we have a little bit of a problem,
and it's our fault. Don't worry about it. But we
have two announcers number one and zero announcers number two.

(52:01):
How soon do you think you could learn the lines
for an hournounce your number two? Because apparently that was
the original intention here, and we just screwed it up.
And I said, uh, you know, in high school, we
did the odd couple and I did a couple of
ad libs with movement that occurred to me in the
moment on stage, and they got roars of laughter from

(52:24):
the crowd and the advisor, who was also the advisor
to the newspaper in the yearbook in the radio station,
took me aside afterwards and said, af the sportscasting thing,
you should be an actor. You have all the instincts
we could never teach you. And I almost went that way,
but the next time we did the show, somebody lost
their lines and froze on stage and went backstage and
started screaming and crying, and I never wanted to be
that close to it ever again. So I haven't acted

(52:46):
since then, but I was very good in nineteen seventy five.
It's nineteen eighty seven now and I haven't done any
acting in the interim, so I can probably learn announce
your number twos lines in let's see what day is,
this is Tuesday, by next Monday. And she looked at
me and smiled and went, I'll get right back to you.
And she went over and conferred with Don Morrow. How

(53:08):
soon do you think you could learn announcer number two's lines.
We'll just switch it up here and you can be
the golf expert. And he went, I don't need any time,
I can do it right. Well, we can do it
right now, and she went really but you don't even
have the lines in front of you. Well, I will
need a pair of scissors, some scotch tape, and a

(53:29):
second copy of the script, oh in a nice permanent
marker please, and every room, everybody in this room where
we were waiting this tent, because of course, Valencia, California,
in late July early August is the only place in
California at that time of year where the humidity will
go up. So it's not even light yet, and it's
probably ninety degrees and ninety percent humidity, which never happens

(53:51):
in southern California, and we are already baking, and every
face in that room is now contemplating the prospect of
having to stay even longer in this heat because they
screwed up and cast two announcers number one and no
announcer number two. And Don Morrow has just saved them
from this by saying all he needs is a pair
of scissors, scotch tape, a second copy of the script,

(54:13):
and a permanent magic marker. And I'm thinking, boy, oh boy,
I've heard of the Lee Strasburg School in the hebel
La Galienn School, And what's the thing where you inhabit
the character, and there's something a couple of other ones,
but I've never heard of the scotch tape and scissors

(54:35):
school of acting. I gotta see this. We go out
onto the set. There is Don, who's a lovely guy,
and he's got his scissors and his extra copy of
the script and his scotch tape and his marker, and
we sit on the set where we're going to do
this scene, which we are the golf announcers. It is

(54:56):
if you've ever seen a golf tournament on television, even
for a minute. They used to and it's less so
like this now, but they used to sit in one
central location out built out on the first hole or
the eighteenth or somewhere prominent on a golf course, and
it would be a small outdoor set that looked rather

(55:16):
like an election night set. It was that big, that crowded,
and full of that much crap and extra people sitting
out there keeping track of where golfers are at various places.
It's far more intricate than it looks, and to my mind,
televising that main set would be far more interesting than
televising a golf tournament, unless it was just putts okay,
I used that joke a thousand times now. So we

(55:41):
go out there and it's a wonderfully appointed set. It's
beautifully dressed by these guys who have left no stone
where it should be. There are one hundred and thirty
four clipboards, there's seventeen monitors pointing in every direction. There's chairs,
there's extras, there's pens, there's golf clubs, there's weather maps,
there's course maps. It's just full of debris from a

(56:06):
golf tournament. And now Don asks me to sit where
I'm going to sit during the shot. And he said,
will you be leaning and when you move, just lean
as far forward as you think you're probably gonna move
during during the two shots, and I leaned. He went, okay,
got it. He now cuts out the first line of
an oouncer number two, and in the left side of

(56:27):
it writes the number one and circles it with his
magic marker. He gets out his scotch tape and he
tapes the line to a monitor which he can see
when he looks at me. It is about head high
where my head is, but behind me by about five feet.
And now on it is the first line for anouncer
number two. So when he has to give an Ouncer

(56:49):
number two's first line, don is in fact reading it
from a teleprompter that only has his first line on it.
He now tapes line number two about, oh, I don't know,
eight nine degrees clockwise of there, so that it's out
towards where I would look if I look slightly to
my left. Line number three he now cuts out and

(57:11):
marks and tapes right in front of me so that
he can sort of look at me and then look
forward towards the course, and on the monitor in front
of me is his line number three, and so on
and so on, until in like a sprinkler pattern around
this set, all of his twelve lines as Announcer number two,
which he didn't learn and I didn't learn, are in

(57:32):
an array that goes from left over my shoulder to
right over where I would be looking when I looked
at Dawn genius, I tells you, and I said, so
you've done this before? Oh? Yes, Many times I said,
have you done this before where they've screwed up and
they've changed the lines at the last minute. Many times

(57:56):
I said, I'll have to ask you, did they ever
do this? On the shell? Answer Man commercials you bet
your ass. I learned a lot about the entertainment industry
that day that I had not known. In any event,
Randy Quaid came by and said hello, and as I said,
he was one hundred percent wonderful to me and was
a fan and was delightful and had comments about some

(58:19):
of the sports casts I did and the bits that
I'd done that bordered on acting. He went, have you
ever considered being an actor? I mean, you really probably
could follow it off, I went, I'm not going down
this path again. The last time I did this, another
actor wound up screaming and crying in the back of
the set. Okay, okay, you're doing a great job. Don't
tell you, don't change anything. I'll look for you at

(58:40):
the premiere. So now I leave, and it's like, well,
that's Hollywood. I don't know how much money they have
spent to get me to play a part I was
not supposed to part a play. I don't know what
they've spent on Don Morrow. But now I've met Don
and he's become a friend of mine, and maybe now
I can start my career in the voiceover industry, which

(59:01):
he mentions in passing is kind of lucrative, and the
months go oh by, and Bobby goes and edits it,
and apparently it's going to make its premiere on HBO
sometime around Christmas, and at some point in November, the
inevitable call comes, can you make it to a sweetening session?
Sweetening session is very simply what happens when they decide

(59:22):
some of the lines in the film are not audible,
and since we shot outdoors, many of the lines were
not audible. We had to go and re record Don
and I some of our golf parlay. And I go
to this studio in North Hollywood, where I meet the
engineer who I wound up going out on a couple
of dates with. She was really nice and very pleasant.

(59:44):
And we go there and I'm waiting to see my
new friend Don Morrow, and is Randy going to be here? Now? Oh?
I like Randy, And in comes Don Morrow. Only it's
not Don Morrow, who was a substantial guy with a
great voice, a great set of pipes, but probably about

(01:00:05):
five nine, one hundred and thirty five pounds, And instead
of him, I'm introduced to the guy who's going to
do his lines for him. Hi, I'm Phil and Phil
Ish six eight three eighty and I might be understating this,
but Phil looked like two Dons standing on each other's shoulders,

(01:00:26):
And I went, how in the hell does this work?
Where's Don? Don's at his villa in Spain and I said,
done as a villa in Spain, because yes, he didn't
like the one in Switzerland the weather was too cold.
What yeah, the voiceover job. If you get the echelon
upper echelon stuff, it pays really well. I have a

(01:00:48):
villa in Paris. I was like, what the hell am
I doing? I'm doing this wrong. I have a one
bedroom in Beverly Hills and I pay too much for
that and it's in Beverly Hills. What am I doing wrong?
While I'm still doing it wrong? But that's besides the point.
Phil explains that he covers for Don when Don is

(01:01:10):
out of the country or unavailable and they need to
do sweetening or other events in which they have booked
Don Morrow or want to and he's not there and
they want the shell answer man. So now they have
contacted him. And I said, how does this work? You
do sound or nothing like Don Morrow? And he goes, no,
and Don doesn't sound anything like me. But he fills
in for me when I'm not there. Sure enough, we

(01:01:35):
go into the studio, comes time for me to read
a line. I read a line. I look over and
I go, I don't know how this could possibly work.
And Phil the Giant, the lumberjack of a man, promptly
reads Don Morrow's line as if Don were speaking through
him in some kind of esp thing, in some kind

(01:01:56):
of possession thing where he is speaking from a villa
in Spain via this guy's mouth, and he sounds exactly
it's the same. And after I get through this existentially
challenging experience, how could anybody do this impression? I said it?
And he can do you. Yes, he's probably a little
better at doing me than I am at doing him.

(01:02:18):
And we go home and that's the end of it.
And the next thing I see is the movie on
the premiere night. And as I said, this is really
worth your time. This film, it really is. It's a
great funny film. Jack Warden, the great actor, is in it.
The score, one of the first they ever did, was
by the group Tangerine Dream, So that score alone keeps

(01:02:40):
the movie moving. HBO ran it forever and ever, and
it was very successful. And I think it got a
couple of cable awards, and Bobby, when I saw him
last week, was really proud of it and kept wondering
why it's not being streamed. It's still funny, it's still
it's a Roy Jenkins novel. It's still wonderful, and we

(01:03:04):
go and see the film and it's hilarious. And it
has and Bobby mentioned this last week. It has not
only lots of scenes that real golfers think are really good,
but it has the scene Bobby said that for decades,
every golfer he's ever met who's found out that he
did Dead Salva perfect it said, you have the greatest scene,
the greatest individual scene in any golf movie, never mind

(01:03:29):
that crap Billy Madison or whatever the hell that Adam
Sandler film is. And Adam Sandler is a lovely guy.
But I didn't laugh once in that first film, which
I was supposed to be in but got sick and
couldn't go. And I imagine I'm not going to laugh
at anything in the second one because I'm not going
to go see it. But all the other golf films

(01:03:50):
Tin Cup not funny. There was some serious golf movie
and something about you know, a golfer with no limbs
and push shot the ball with his nose. I don't know.
This is a fun movie that happens to be about golf,
and Randy Quaid is god damned terrific in it. And

(01:04:12):
the woman playing his wife is Catherine Harold, a great
underrated actor of the eighties who is on the Larry
Sanders Show. Just outstanding from start to last. But the
one scene that all the golfers liked was with the
actress who was playing the woman. Randy Quaid's golf character
is having an affair with Krinn Borr, and the scene

(01:04:34):
sounds like nothing. In the scene, Krin Borr runs down
the hallway at the hotel that she and the Randy
Quaid character are canoodling at, runs down the hallway to
get some ice. The scene involves an ice machine, an
ice bucket, some ice, but it does not involve Kurin

(01:04:56):
wearing any clothes. Now it's shot top up, but nevertheless,
this is for twelve over fifteen second scene, quite a
dramatic thing, especially for golfers. I cannot reveal what Bobby
revealed about Corinn and Randy Quaid in real life, but

(01:05:19):
you probably can guess why the scene was so authentic.
It's a great scene, It's a great movie. Me. I
could have gotten an award from the National Association of
lumber Distributors. I am so wooden. There is no one
who did not know my work who would have seen
that film and said that guy's a golf announcer. Hell,
there's nobody who would have seen that film and not

(01:05:41):
known my work and said that guy must be a
real sportscaster. I come across as some sort of stuffed
animal who has come to life for this scene and
not very much to life. And the other thing that
I learned from this scene that we did and then sweetened,
where we went back and fixed the audio and fill
the six foot eight lumberjack did. Don's voice for him

(01:06:04):
is that I can't tell which lines are pill and
which lines are done. That's how good he was at
doing an impression of down Morrow. A limited role in
the entertainment firmament, but apparently a lucrative one. So the
film runs and it's a big hit, and I'm in it,
and I'm twenty eight years old, and by the time

(01:06:27):
the film was premiering, my first gray hair started to
come in so it is a record of me when
I still had some baby fat and all black, shiny hair.
At some point, not long after it premiered in late
nineteen eighty seven, Tribune, the company that in fact owned
the station I was working for at the time, Channel

(01:06:48):
five in LA, bought the rights to this film to
run on all of its stations nationwide, and at least
twice a year they would run it, say on a
Friday night, and then on a Saturday afternoon, and then
on a Sunday night on all of their stations. It
would get like three plays in three days. So if
you were twisting almost anywhere in the nation, you saw
this film and me. And the older I got and

(01:07:11):
the more prominent I got, And by the time I
was in Sports Center in nineteen ninety two, we were
five years removed from the recording of this thing. I
didn't look quite so much as I did in this film.
Plus I did this film without my glasses. They said,
can you do it without the glasses? And I went sure,
because I could still see you without my glasses. And
there I am with no glasses and dark hair. And

(01:07:33):
I once got a call from a girlfriend about nineteen
ninety four who saw me on a tribune station in
the Midwest and said, do you have a son? And
I said no. He goes guy. She says, I saw
some guy on TV in a movie. I swear to god,
this guy looks like your son. Do you mean you

(01:07:55):
can tell me I won't break up with you. I'll
still be your girlfriend. But what do you have a son?
An adult son? I went, no, that's that's me. How
long ago was this filmed? Like eight years? Holy cow,
have you aged? But there was a check involved in

(01:08:16):
this and it ran well into the late nineties. And
I think I last saw somewhere on cable about two
thousand and three. And Bobby Roth asks a great question
as he goes out to do his documentary. This is
now his thing. He's no longer an entertainment movie maker.
He's a documentarian, a filmmaker about democracy, and he's doing
his part to try to save democracy too. And that's

(01:08:38):
what we talked about. He asked me to introduce myself.
I said, I'm the podcaster, the original anchor of MSNBC
and a commentator, and I was the seventeenth male lead
in the movie Dead Solid Perfect. There is, as always
a punchline to this two of them, Correne Borr, the

(01:08:59):
ice bucket lady. About fifteen years after we recorded this,
I put on my TV and there's a commercial in
which a mom is driving her new car to go
pick up their kids at the school, and it's Krinborer.
And I wanted to shout at the characters in the commercial,
Hey do you know about her and the ice machine?
And soon Krin Borer, who had a lovely, kind of decent, calm,

(01:09:24):
long suffering mother face that had grown out of her
running down a hallway naked to get ice face, she
was suddenly the mother in every television commercial for maybe
ten years, ending around twenty eleven or twelve, every damn

(01:09:44):
commerce hundreds and hundreds. It's like, and there's the mother
of the nation, Corin Borer. And nobody ever brought up
the ice bucket scene would have seemed to me natural
that they gave her a job for some hotel chain
somewhere in which she runs down the aisle to get
ice fully close oh, then followed by her six children

(01:10:07):
under the age of five, but who listens to me?
And then the punchline of all punchlines, apart from the
fact that I saw Bobby Roth last week for the
first time in thirty seven years, and he was great
and we had a great time. And now I will
have been in two films, basically consecutive films, both of

(01:10:27):
them made by Bobby Roth in different centuries. The punchline
is maybe two thousand and eight or nine. I was
flying back from Los Angeles to New York, and I
thought I saw him as we sat down on the plane,
but wasn't sure and didn't want to get up and
go looking for him in the plane. But we get

(01:10:47):
to JFK Airport and I wait for the other passengers
to come off, and after a few minutes and just
about to give up and go and get my bag
and go home, there he is. And he sees me
and lets out a shout, Hey, my co star. It's
Randy Quaid. And he was already beginning to go a

(01:11:10):
little towards where he is now, and he was again
just lovely to me. And I don't know what happened.
I don't know if that's the lesson of dead solid perfect.
I tend to think maybe these bad things happened to
him because because of the current border running down the
