sports fans in a bar. They don't want to really
study the game that they just want to go. Now,
the Jets are gonna win. Now, the Giants are gonna win. Now,

medallions around his neck and the jogging suit. He put
up one of those pictures and pointed out that Sharpton
was a close friend. He loved me. He loved me
for years. He begged me to come to all of
his fake rallies, and I did a number of times
just to help him draw a crowd. And he goes
(04:38):

Then he points out at some point Sharpton ran into
Brian Roberts, who owned Comcasts, the big, big, mega corporation
that was buying NBC, And when they were buying NBC,
they needed help with the FCC. Sharpton helped. He went
and testified on behalf a comcast to the great the
(05:00):
racial hiring policies and all that kind of stuff, and
apparently was promised a TV show in return. That's why
he has an MSNBC TV show. Trump pointing out it's
the lowest rated show in the history of television. But
