I had this idea of a perfect life.
I get a feeling your daughter's hiding something.
-Why were you there that night?
>> START THE CLOCK.
>> Bill: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I APPRECIATE IT, THANK YOU.
SPARSELY POPULATED PEOPLE, I
APPRECIATE IT.
OUR LAST SHOW -- I APPRECIATE
THAT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND DOING
WHAT YOU HAD TO DO TO GET IN
HERE, IT IS OUR LAST SHOW OF THE
SEASON ENDED HAS BEEN 17 DAYS
NOW SINCE THE ELECTION --
>> IS STILL BEHAVING LIKE A
PSYCHO BEAUTY PAGEANT QUEEN WHO
WILL NOT LET GO OF THE TIARA.
THIS IS ALSO THE LAST TIME I
WILL SEE ANYBODY PUBLICLY BEFORE
THE HOLIDAYS SO MERRY AND
HAPPY -- IT'S BEEN THAT TYPE OF
YEAR.
THANKSGIVING WAS ALWAYS WHEN YOU
PIGGED OUT AT TWO IN THE
AFTERNOON, PASSED OUT ON THE
COUCH -- NOW EVERY DAY THIS YEAR
WAS THAT.
FROM NOW ON, I'M GOING TO BE
REFERRING TO THIS.
AMERICAN HISTORY BECAUSE WE NEED
A NAME THIS AS THE FUCKENING.
WE HAD THE GREAT RECESSION AND
THE ECONOMIC EXPANSION AND THIS
IS THE FUCKENING, THAT'S WHAT WE
ARE IN NOW.
I WAS IN A STORE THE OTHER DAY,
THE BIG HOT NOVELTY TOY ITEM
THIS YEAR FOR THE HOLIDAYS IS
ELF ON THE VENTILATOR.
I DON'T GET THIS COUNTRY, THE
TRUMP PEOPLE DON'T WANT ANYONE
TO WEAR A MASK BECAUSE THEY SAY
IT'S ALL ABOUT CONFORMITY, THESE
ARE THE SAME PEOPLE WHO WANT
EVERYONE TO KNEEL -- FUCK THAT
JOKE.
THEY WANT TO KICK YOU OUT OF THE
COUNTRY -- FORGET IT.
DO YOU GET WHAT I WAS TRYING TO
GET THERE?
IT'S THE LAST SHOW OF THE
SEASON, I'M LOSING IT.
THEY CAN ALL JUMP IN A LAKE
BECAUSE DEMOCRATS WHO ARE ALWAYS
PREACHING WEARING THE MASKS,
THEY KEEP GETTING CAUGHT DOING
WHAT WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DO.
NANCY PELOSI DID, LORI
LIGHTFOOT, NOW GAVIN NEWSOM.
DID YOU SEE THIS?
HE WAS IN A BIRTHDAY PARTY
INDOORS, I HAVEN'T EATEN INDOORS
PUBLICLY SINCE MARCH WITHOUT A
MASK AND AT THE TABLE, THERE
WERE LOBBYISTS FROM THE
CALIFORNIA MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.
THAT'S LIKE GETTING SHIT FACED
WITH MOTHERS AGAINST DRUNK
DRIVING.
THEY SAY THERE ARE TWO NEW
VACCINES COMING JUST IN TIME FOR
THE HOLIDAYS, THIS IS BIG NEWS.
THEY SAY THEY ARE ALMOST
IMPOSSIBLE TO GET AND THERE IS
ABOUT A 90% CHANCE OF THEM
WORKING.
MAYBE I'M THINKING OF
PLAYSTATION FIVE.
THE PRESIDENT IS IN THE HOLIDAY
SPIRIT, HE HAD A SCREENING LAST
NIGHT OF HIS FAVORITE HOLIDAY
MOVIE "HOW THE GRINCH STOLE
PENNSYLVANIA."
DID YOU SEE WHAT TEAM LUNATIC
WAS --
WAS PUTTING FORWARD THIS WEEK?
RUDY GIULIANI WAS OUT THERE,
HE'S HAVING QUITE A THIRD ACT.
WHEN HE'S NOT LOOKING FOR HIS
DICK IN HIS PANTS, HE'S OUT
THERE -- HE'S OUT THERE AS
TRUMP'S LEAD LAWYER BECAUSE ALL
THE REGULAR LAWYERS HAVE QUIT
AND HE'S GOT A NEW THEORY ABOUT
WHO FIX THE ELECTION, VENEZUELA.
APPARENTLY HE SAYS DOMINION,
THAT'S THE VOTING MACHINE
COMPANY, THEY'RE ACTUALLY OUT OF
CANADA BUT THEY ARE OWNED BY
ANOTHER COMPANY WHICH IS FUNDED
BY A VENEZUELAN ASSOCIATE OF
HUGO CHAVEZ WHO IS DEAD.
AT THIS POINT, MSNBC JUST CUT
AWAY TO A CUCKOO CLOCK.
WAIT, THAT'S NOT ALL -- SPAIN IS
INVOLVED!
VENEZUELA, THEY MAKE THE
MACHINES, ZOMBIE HUGO CHAVEZ, HE
MAKES -- BUT THEN THE VOTES GOT
SENT HE SAYS TO BARCELONA,
SPAIN, WHERE THEY WERE FIXED FOR
BIDEN AND SENT BACK TO THE U.S.
AT THIS POINT, HE JUST KNEELED
DOWN LIKE JAMES BROWN AND TWO
HANDLERS CAME OUT AND PUT A
STRAITJACKET ON HIM.
AND THEN THE JUDGE SAID "ORDER
IN THE COURT!"
AND RUDY SAID "TANQUERAY AND
TONIC, PLEASE."
AND THEN THINGS GOT WEIRD.
I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU A PICTURE
NOW BUT ONE INCOME OF THE
FOLLOWING MAY BE DISTURBING TO
SOME VIEWERS, VIEWER DISCRETION
IS ADVISED.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
DRACULA GETS OUT OF A COFFIN TOO
EARLY IN THE DAY.
THAT'S HIS HAIR DYE, YOU KNOW
THE TRUMP PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS
SAYING THESE COLORS DON'T RUN --
SOMETIMES THEY DO!
EVEN JEFFREY TOOBIN WAS LIKE
GOD, THAT'S EMBARRASSING.
JEFFREY TOOBIN?
NEVER MIND.
WE'VE GOT A GREAT SHOW, THE LAST
SHOW OF THE YEAR.
ALEX WAGNER AND JON MEACHAM ARE
BUT FIRST, HE'S A
DISTINGUISHED PROFESSOR OF
AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDIES AND
ETHICS AT VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY
AND AUTHOR OF "LONG TIME COMING:
RECKONING WITH RACE IN AMERICA":
MICHAEL ERIC DYSON.
LIKE JAMES BROWN, I DID THAT FOR
YOU.
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
>> I'M PRETTY FAIR FOR A SQUARE.
>> Bill: THANKS FOR GOING
THROUGH ALL THE STUFF YOU HAD TO
DO, YOU CAN JUST IN TIME, I
THINK WE ARE CLOSING DOWN SOON.
>> SHUTTING DOWN ON THE CURFEW.
>> Bill: I THINK WERE GOING
OFF THE AIR, IT WILL BE BETTER
NEXT YEAR.
I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT THIS
YEAR, YOUR BOOK, GREAT BOOK, I
READ IT QUICKLY, IT'S A QUICK
READ.
SERIOUS STUFF OF COURSE, BUT THE
YEAR 2020 -- 2017 WAS THE YEAR
OF HARVEY WEINSTEIN AND THAT
ME TOO MOVEMENT AND IT SEEMS
LIKE EVERYTHING CHANGED TO A
DEGREE WITH GENDER STUFF -- ARE
WE GOING TO LOOK BACK AT 2020
THAT WAY WITH RACE?
>> THAT'S A GREAT PARALLEL.
I THINK SO IN THIS SENSE, GEORGE
FLOYD OPENED THE MINDS AND EYES
OF SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE.
THOSE OF US WHO HAVE BEEN
VICTIMIZED BY IT HISTORICALLY
AND CONSISTENTLY, SOME AMONG US
SAID I GUESS YOU MISSED THE
SLAVERY PART AND THE JIM CROW
PART AND YOU MISSED THE OTHER
STUFF.
BUT I GO WHENEVER PEOPLE WAKE
UP, THEY WAKE UP, WHENEVER THEY
BECOME AWARE, THEY BECOME AWARE.
WE WERE ALL AT HOME, THOSE OF US
WHO COULD AFFORD TO STAY-AT-HOME
WITH THE PANDEMIC AND WE ARE
LOOKING AT OUR SCREENS ANYWAY
AND WHEN GEORGE FLOYD'S IMAGE
FLASHES ACROSS THE HORIZON OF
MANY OF THESE DEVICES, IT WAS
ASTONISHING.
AND MANY WHITE BROTHERS AND
SISTERS SAID WAIT, SO BLACK
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAKING CLAIMS
AND WE'VE BEEN LIKE OKAY, YOU
MUST'VE SAID SOMETHING YOU MUST
OF ACTED OR MISBEHAVED BUT MY
GOD, WE CAN SEE HERE PROSTRATE
ON THE GROUND, A BLACK MAN
MEANING HARM TO NO ONE BEING THE
RECIPIENT OF DEREK -- HIS NECK
BEING SQUEEZED AND ASPHYXIATED
FOR NO GOOD REASON AND I THINK
THAT SHOOK AMERICA TO ITS CORE
AND NOT JUST AMERICA, PEOPLE ALL
OVER THE WORLD WERE RESPONDING.
>> Bill: YOU THINK THIS IS
MORE ABOUT RACISM THEN POLICING.
>> THE TWO GO HAND-IN-HAND, I
THINK IT'S ABOUT THE PERSISTENCE
OF WHAT HAS NOW BECOME A TERM,
SYSTEMIC RACISM AND I THINK IT'S
ABOUT THE FACT THAT POLICE
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WAY OUT OF
CONTROL FOR TOO LONG WHEN IT
COMES TO AFRICAN-AMERICAN AND
LATINO PEOPLE.
>> Bill: GIVE ME A COMPARISON
COMPARISON -- YOU'RE ALMOST MY
AGE.
GIVE ME A COMPARISON OF 1980,
2,000, 2020.
THERE'S SOME DIFFERENCE.
>> 1980, YOU'VE GOT THE RISE OF
RONALD REAGAN IN HIP-HOP.
>> Bill: I MEAN WITH POLICING.
>> WHAT I'M SAYING -- RACISM IN
GENERAL, YOU'VE GOT LAW AND
ORDER STUFF.
YOU'VE GOT NIXON 20 YEARS BEFORE
TALKING ABOUT LAW AND ORDER AND
THEN IN 1980, THE RESTORATION OF
UN-AMERICAN SOCIETY THAT HAD
GONE OFF THE RAILS PEOPLE
PERCEIVED.
RONALD REAGAN WAS THERE TO
POLICE IT BACK IN ORDER.
YOU THINK ABOUT 2,000, WHAT
HAPPENS?
JESSE JACKSON HAS RUN A COUPLE
TIMES FOR THE PRESIDENCY, PEOPLE
HAVE SAID THERE ARE DIFFERENT
AVENUES AND POSSIBILITIES THAT
ARE NOW AWAKE TO US BUT YOU HAD
FIGHTS AGAINST AFFIRMATIVE
ACTION AND THE COURTS.
YOU THINK ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO,
IN 2010, WE ARE IN THE SECOND
YEAR OF THE PRESIDENCY OF
BARACK OBAMA AND THAT WAS A
GUTENBERG SHIFT IN THE
CONSCIOUSNESS OF AMERICAN
CULTURE THAT NOW THIS BLACK MAN
CAN BE THE FACE OF AMERICA, THE
AVATAR OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY,
THE EMBODIMENT OF THE NOBLE
ASPIRATIONS OF JAMES MADISON AND
GEORGE WASHINGTON AND
THOMAS JEFFERSON IS NOW THIS
SUN-KISSED SON OF AMERICA WHO
EMBODIES THE BEST IDEALS AND
NOBLE ASPIRATIONS BUT AT THE
SAME TIME BENEATH IT ALL YOU HAD
THIS UNDERCURRENT OF THE
MISTREATMENT OF ORDINARY
EVERYDAY BLACK PEOPLE AND THE
POLICE -- I CAN TELL YOU, I
DIDN'T WRITE MUCH ABOUT IT IN
THIS BOOK, I'VE WRITTEN ABOUT IT
OTHER PLACES -- I'VE BEEN A
VICTIM OF THAT KIND OF BRUTALITY
FOR MOST OF MY LIFE AND IT HAS
BECOME ROUTINE FOR MANY OF US,
10-2, PUT YOUR WALLET ON THE
DASHBOARD, YOU TELL YOUR KIDS --
A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE TO DO
THIS TOO BUT WE HAVE TO HAVE
SPECIAL ATTENTION PAID TO THAT,
BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL, BE
DEFERENTIAL BECAUSE WE WANT YOU
TO GET OUT WITH YOUR LIVELIHOOD.
>> Bill: WHAT I'M ASKING YOU
IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NOW
AND 20 YEARS AGO.
YOUR ANSWER MIGHT BE THERE IS
NONE, I JUST WANT TO KNOW THAT
BECAUSE --
>> I THINK THERE IS A DIFFERENCE
BUT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN
AWARENESS OF PEOPLE SEEING THAT
THE POLICE HAVE MISTREATED BLACK
PEOPLE CONSISTENTLY.
WE CAN TRACE IT BACK TO THE
1700s WHEN THE SLAVE STUFF GOT
STARTED, THE SLAVE PATROLS IN
VIRGINIA.
SINCE THAT TIME,
MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. TALKED
ABOUT POLICE BRUTALITY IN 1963,
THINGS HAVE SHIFTED IN TERMS OF
AWARENESS, POSSIBILITY OF BLACK
UPWARD MOBILITY, PEOPLE GETTING
ALONG BETTER, RODNEY KING'S
ANSWER, SOME OF US GET ALONG
BETTER IN PLACES -- THE LETHAL
PERSISTENCE OF ANTI-BLACKNESS IN
THIS COUNTRY HAS BEEN A CONSTANT
DRUMBEAT THAT HAS ACCOMPANIED
THE SOCIAL DANCE OF BLACK PEOPLE
IN MANY AREAS OF AMERICA, THAT'S
THE REALITY.
>> Bill: ONE OF THE LAST
CHAPTERS IN YOUR BOOK CALLED
WHITE COMFORT, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT THERE IS DIVERSITY IN
THOUGHT IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY.
>> NO DOUBT.
>> Bill: I ASSUME YOU'RE FOR
THAT.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> Bill: I'VE HEARD A LOT
OF -- I'VE HAD SOME OF THEM ON
THE SHOW, JOHN McWHORTER,
PROFESSOR LIKE YOU, HE TALKS
ABOUT THE RELIGION OF
ANTIRACISM.
HE WOULDN'T AGREE WITH
EVERYTHING YOU'RE SAYING, HE
SAYS WE'VE NEVER BEEN LESS
RACIST -- THAT DOESN'T MEAN
THERE ISN'T STILL RACISM, BUT
WHAT IS YOUR VIEW OF THAT VIEW?
>> JOHN McWHORTER, FRIEND OF
MINE, SMART GUY, I RESPECT ALL
THE PEOPLE YOU TALKED ABOUT,
THEY DON'T REPRESENT THE MASSES
OF BLACK PEOPLE, THEY DON'T
REPRESENT THE BASIC BELIEF OF
BLACK PEOPLE.
>> Bill: MOST BLACK PEOPLE
WANT MORE POLICING, NOT LESS.
>> BLACK PEOPLE ARE CULTURALLY
CONSERVATIVE, I DON'T REPRESENT
THE MAINSTREAM IF YOU WILL OF
BLACK THOUGHT WHEN IT COMES TO
THINGS LIKE THAT, AS AN ORDAINED
BAPTIST MINISTER FOR 40 YEARS,
I'VE SEEN SOME OF THE STUFF THAT
GOES ON IN THESE CHURCHES --
BLACK COMMUNITIES SAY WE WANT
PEOPLE TO PROTECT US, WE WANT
WHEN WE CALL THE COPS, THE COPS
NOT TO FAIL TO DISTINGUISH US
FROM THE CRIMINALS AND BLACK
PEOPLE CALL THE COPS MORE THAN
ANYBODY, IF YOU WANT TO GET DOWN
TO WHO CALLS THE COPS, BLACK
PEOPLE.
I TOLD YOU I WANT THOSE BISCUITS
BUTTERED, I'M CALLING THE COPS
ON YOU RIGHT NOW AND YOU AIN'T
DONE IT RIGHT.
THE POINT IS WHEN WE WANT --
WHEN THE COPS SHOW UP, NOT TO
DIRECT A COMMON ORDINARY
INTERCHANGE BETWEEN TWO
HUMAN BEINGS INTO SOMETHING
LETHAL.
>> WHAT DO I MEAN?
WHEN THE COPS STOPPED SANDRA
BLAND FOR A TRAFFIC SIGNAL AND
SHE'S HUNG TWO DAYS LATER,
WALTER SCOTT IN SOUTH CAROLINA,
STOPPED BECAUSE HIS LEFT TURN
SIGNAL WAS WRONG AND THE GUY
ENDS UP SHOOTING HIM, ORDINARY
INTERACTIONS END UP IN DEATH FOR
BLACK PEOPLE, A LOT OF BLACK
PEOPLE DON'T WANT THE POLICE TO
BE ABOLISHED AND I KNOW THAT
TERM, JIM CLYBURN AND OTHERS
HAVE SAID THAT'S THE DEATH
KNELL -- YOU TALK ABOUT
ABOLITION.
IN THE 1850s, MOST WHITE
PEOPLE WERE NOT IN FAVOR OF
ABOLITION OF SLAVERY, THINGS DO
CHANGE.
ARE YOU INTERESTED IN THE
COMMERCIAL OR THE PRODUCT?
I'M ALL FOR WHATEVER LANGUAGE
GETS US OVER, I'M NOT A STICKLER
FOR IF IT'S ABOLITION VERSUS
REFORM, BUT THE POLICE SEEM TO
CONSISTENTLY AND REPEATEDLY
MURDER, KILL, MAIM, HARM, WITH
BLACK LIFE WITH WANT AND
ABANDONMENT WITHOUT BEING HELD
TO ACCOUNT
AND WHEN THEY DO, THEY HAVE
QUALIFIED IMMUNITY THAT PROTECTS
THEM.
>> Bill: I REMEMBER DOING
EDITORIALS ABOUT THE POLICE THAT
I THOUGHT W FOR SURE WERE GOINGO
GET ME ARRESTED ON THIS SHOW
FIVE YEARS AGO AND PART OF THE
POINT I WAS MAKING WAS THERE'S
NEVER ANY REPERCUSSIONS.
NOW THERE HAVE BEEN COME YOU GO
DOWN THE LIST, LOTS OF POLICE
HAVE BEEN PUT IN JAIL, TRIED AND
FOUND GUILTY.
>> A FEW MORE.
IT'S NOT A TSUNAMI.
>> Bill: IT USED TO BE NONE.
>> THAT'S PROGRESS BUT MALCOLM X
SAID YOU CAN'T PUT THE KNIFE IN
MY BACK 9 INCHES BULLET OUT
6 INCHES AND CALL IT PROGRESS.
I'M ACKNOWLEDGING THERE IS
PROGRESS BUT DO YOU KNOW THE
OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF BLACK
PEOPLE LIVE IN FEAR.
LeBRON JAMES WHO IS A RICH GUY
WHO PLAYS FOR THE L.A. LAKERS
SAYS WE LIVE IN TERROR AGAINST
WHAT THE POLICE WILL DO TO US,
THAT'S A REALITY THAT I THINK
MANY WHITE PEOPLE HAVEN'T SEEN
UNTIL THESE SNUFF FILMS.
THE PORNOGRAPHY OF BLACK DEATH
IS REPEATED IN THE CINEMA OF
BLACK EXISTENCE AND THESE FILMS
SHOW US THAT NO MATTER WHAT --
HANDS UP, GET SHOT, HANDS DOWN
GET SHOT, SPEAK TO THE POLICE
AND A SAUCY WAY, DON'T SAY
ANYTHING AT ALL, GET SHOT, AND
THAT'S THE REALITY WE HAVE TO
CONFRONT WHEN IT COMES TO POLICE
BRUTALITY.
>> Bill: I THINK YOU ALWAYS
FOR YOUR PERSPECTIVE, I WISH WE
COULD HAVE DINNER AS WE USUALLY
DO, NEXT YEAR.
MICHAEL ERIC DYSON!
>> APPRECIATE IT.
LET'S MEET OUR PANEL.
HERE THEY ARE.
HE'S THE AUTHOR OF "HIS TRUTH IS
JOHN LEWIS AND THE
POWER OF HOPE" WHO OCCASIONALLY
JON MEACHAM.
SHE'S A CONTRIBUTING WRITER FOR
THE ATLANTIC AND THE CO-HOST &
EXECUTIVE PRODUCER OF SHOWTIME'S
"THE CIRCUS": ALEX WAGNER.
HOW YOU DOING?
I'VE GOT TO START WITH MY
FAVORITE TOPIC --
>TRUMP NOTLEAVING, IT'S 17 DAYSE
ELECTION AND THE LEADER OF THE
RULING PARTY INSISTS HE
HASN'T -- THE PESKY COURTS, WE
STILL HAVE COURTS THAT SEEM TO
BE WORKING BECAUSE THEY KEEP
SAYING WE CAN'T ALLOW THIS CLAIM
OF FRAUD BECAUSE THERE'S NO
FRAUD, LITTLE THINGS ABOUT
LEGALITY AND EVIDENCE, ALTHOUGH
JEN ELLIS, WE HAD HER ON LAST
WEEK, SHE SAID WITH RUDY THIS
WEEK IN COURT, THIS IS A QUOTE
"YOUR QUESTION IS FUNDAMENTALLY
FLAWED WHEN YOU'RE ASKING WHERE
IS THE EVIDENCE?"
RUDY SAID WHEN I WENT TO BED ON
ELECTION NIGHT, HE WAS AHEAD IN
ALL THESE STATES, HOW WAS IT WE
ALL TURNED AROUND.
FIRST OF ALL, RUDY, WE KNOW YOU
SLEEP IN THE DAY SO YOU CAN HUNT
AT NIGHT.
WE COME BACK ON THIS SHOW,
JANUARY 15TH, WHERE ARE WE ON
JANUARY 15TH?
>> YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A
CONCESSION, DONALD TRUMP IS
TRYING TO STAGE A COUP RIGHT
NOW.
>> Bill: THANK YOU.
>> HE'S TRYING TO UNDERMINE THE
RESULTS OF THE DEMOCRATIC FREE
AND FAIR ELECTION AND TRYING TO
THROW OUT LEGALLY CAST VOTES SO
HE CAN WIN, WE NEED TO BE
EXPLICIT ABOUT WHAT WE ARE
UNDERGOING AS A COUNTRY.
AND I SEE NO FUTURE IN WHICH HE
CONCEDES, I THINK HE WILL
PROBABLY AVOID HAVING TO DEAL
WITH THE WHITE HOUSE EXIT AND
TURN OVER TO JOE BIDEN AND SOME
CREATIVE WAY, BUT YOU CAN BET
THERE WILL BE A RALLY, THERE
WILL BE SOME KIND OF PUBLIC
EVENT.
THERE WILL PROBABLY BE SOME SORT
OF TRUMPIAN DE FACTO WHITE HOUSE
SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE COUNTRY.
THIS MAN IS NOT GOING TO SAY HE
LOST EVER.
>> Bill: SO WE WILL HAVE TWO
POPES, LIKE WHEN THERE WERE TWO
POPES.
>> MAR-A-LAGO MEETS AVENUE -- I
THINK THE FUTURE IS KEY TO HOW
MANY OF TRUMP'S VOTERS, ALL
70 MILLION OR SO ARE GOING TO
FOLLOW THAT.
I THINK THE REASON THAT SO FEW,
RELATIVELY FEW REPUBLICANS HAVE
SPOKEN OUT ABOUT THIS -- IT'S
SORT OF AT THE MARX BROTHERS DID
A COUP, IT'S EASY BECAUSE IT'S
SO INCOMPETENT TO MAKE FUN OF
IT, BUT THIS IS AN
ADMINISTRATION WHOSE FUNDAMENTAL
INCOMPETENCE HAD LED TO THE
DEATHS OF HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS
OF PEOPLE AND WEAKENING OF
INSTITUTIONS THAT HOWEVER FLAWED
HAVE PRODUCED BY AND LARGE A
MORE PERFECT UNION, GIVEN THE
MOST STRESS AND STRAINS SINCE
THE 1860s.
IT'S EASY TO BE AMUSED BY RUDY,
WE ARE JUST LUCKY THAT OUR
AUTHORITARIANS ARE SO
INCOMPETENT.
>> Bill: EVERYBODY IS
INCOMPETENT, IT WASN'T JUST
TRUMP THAT LED TO THOSE DEATHS,
HE CERTAINLY DID HIS PART THAT
WE ARE IN INCOMPETENT COUNTRY.
AND AN UNHEALTHY ONE.
>> I SPENT A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT
OF TIME WITH LOCAL ELECTION
OFFICIALS ESPECIALLY THOSE IN
PENNSYLVANIA, THESE ARE CIVIL
SERVANTS WHO SPENT A LOT OF TIME
AND ENERGY TRYING TO MAKE SURE
THAT THIS ELECTION CAME OFF WITH
A HITCH AND IT DID.
>> Bill: IT'S ARE ONE FEATHER
IN OUR CAP.
>> IF THAT TRUMP HAD BEEN ABLE
TO FIND ANY OPPORTUNITY TO SAY
THERE IS FRAUD, EVEN WITHOUT
IT --
>> Bill: HERE'S THE PROBLEM.
IT RUDY SAID IN HIS STATEMENT
THE OTHER DAY WHAT WE ARE SEEING
IS A MASSIVE INFLUENCE OF
COMMUNIST MONEY FROM VENEZUELA,
CUBA, AND LIKELY CHINA.
THESE ARE JUST THE BUZZWORDS
THAT HIS PEOPLE HERE.
SO THEY HAD THE MAGA MARCH ON
SATURDAY, THEY THINK TO A PERSON
HE WON THE ELECTION, THERE WILL
BE A MIRACLE WHERE HE WILL STILL
STAY IN OFFICE, IF NOT, IT'S
STOLEN BECAUSE HE IS THE
RIGHTFUL HEIR TO THE SEVEN
KINGDOMS.
HERE ARE THE STATS, 88% OF
TRUMPS VOTERS THINK HE WON THE
ELECTION, OVER 50% OF
REPUBLICANS, ALL REPUBLICANS --
WHAT DO THESE PEOPLE DO?
THIS IS LIKE 70 MILLION
AMERICANS WHICH SOUNDS TO ME
LIKE IF THEY DON'T THINK THE
PRESIDENT WHO IS INSTALLED IS
REAL, THAT'S A FIFTH COLUMN.
THAT'S A LARGE FIFTH COLUMN IN
AMERICA, WHAT DID THEY DO?
TALK ABOUT HOUSE NOT BEING ABLE
TO SURVIVE --
>> DIVIDED CANNOT STAND.
>> Bill: CANNOT STAND.
>> I THINK THIS IS THE KEY
QUESTION FOR ALL OF US, WHAT
WE'VE DONE IS WE'VE MANAGED TO
AS A COUNTRY CAN SIGN REASON TO
THE SIDELINES.
WE DON'T THINK ANY MORE, WE FEEL
FEEL.
AND THAT'S A LARGE PART OF THE
PANDEMIC TRAGEDY.
I DON'T FEEL LIKE WEARING A
MASK, I DON'T FEEL LIKE
LISTENING TO A DOCTOR, I DON'T
FEEL LIKE LISTENING TO EXPERTS.
WELL, WE DON'T REALLY CARE.
THE PURPOSE OF THE ENLIGHTENMENT
WAS THAT YOUR THOUGHTS AND THE
DATA AND THE AT LEAST HAVE A
CHANCE -- I GUESS FEELINGS AND
EMOTIONS AND PASSIONS AND
APPETITES AND AMBITIONS -- WE'VE
DONE PRETTY WELL FOR A LONG TIME
WITH THAT, NOT GREAT.
WHAT HAS BASICALLY HAPPENED
BROADLY AS 1964, A HISTORIAN
NAMED RICHARD HOFSTETTER WROTE A
BOOK, AN ESSAY CALLED THE
PARANOID STYLE OF AMERICAN
POLITICS, IT'S HIS RECURRENT
SUSPICION THAT YOU LAID OUT THAT
THERE IS A LARGER CONSPIRACY OUT
THERE OF UNSEEN FORCES BECAUSE
PEOPLE HAVE A FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN
NEED TO BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE
THESE SECRET FORCES THAT ARE
ARRAYED AGAINST THEM.
EVERY MOMENT IS ARMAGEDDON COME
EVERY MOMENT IS EXISTENTIAL,
THEREFORE COMPROMISE IS NOT
POSSIBLE.
AND WHAT HAS HAPPENED IS THE
PARANOID STYLE WHICH WAS THE
JOHN BIRCH IN 1964 HAS WHITE
INTO A HUGE SWATH OF THE COUNTRY
AND THE BIG TASK FOR ALL OF US
AND I THINK IT'S A TASK OF
CITIZENSHIP AND TALKING TO YOUR
NEIGHBORS AND JUST TRYING TO SAY
LOOK, THERE IS SUCH A THING AS
FACT.
>> IT HAS BEEN AIDED AND ABETTED
BY A CONSERVATIVE MEDIA ECHO
CHAMBER.
>> Bill: AND THE INTERNET,
JOHN BIRCH HAD TO COME TO YOUR
HOUSE WITH A PAMPHLET.
>> I SPENT THE ENTIRE FALL
TALKING TO TRUMP VOTERS, THEY
LIVE IN A PARALLEL UNIVERSE,
THEY DO HAVE "ALTERNATIVE
FACTS," THOSE FACTS ARE FED TO
THEM IN A SYSTEMATIC FOR-PROFIT
WAY BY THE MURDOCH FAMILY, BY
RIGHT WING MEDIA OUTLETS, AND BY
THE UNLEASED CONSERVATIVE ECHO
CHAMBER ONLINE.
PUTTING THAT GENIE BACK IN THE
BOTTLE IS GOING TO BE VERY HARD.
>> Bill: THE ONLY PERSON IN
THIS COUNTRY WHO HAS THE POWER
TO REALLY CHANGE THE DIRECTION
OF THIS COUNTRY IS RUPERT
MURDOCH.
TRUMP IS ALREADY TRYING TO PEEL
PEOPLE AWAY BECAUSE FOX NEWS IS
DIVIDED ABOUT HIM BUT THEY
CERTAINLY HAVE BEEN CRITICAL IN
SOME PEOPLE HAVE CALLED THE
ELECTION FOR BIDEN AND IT LOOKS
LIKE MURDOCH IS DOING IT, IT
LOOKS LIKE HE'S THROWING HIS LOT
IN WITH REALITY FOR A CHANGE.
A LOT OF THE FOX VIEWERS WILL
STICK WITH FOX -- THEY WILL BE
DIVIDED, BUT I THINK RUPERT
MURDOCH MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE
HOLDS THE FATE OF THIS COUNTRY
IN HIS HANDS, A FUCKING
AUSTRALIAN.
YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT
AUSTRALIANS, ALWAYS SLEEPING ON
YOUR COUCH AND TRYING TO STEAL
YOUR GIRLFRIEND!
>> AND THE WORLD IS FLAT.
I'M JUST SPEAKING FOR MYSELF
HERE, NOT FOR ANY TRANSITION OR
ANYTHING BUT WE DO HAVE A SHOT
HERE.
IF THE GOVERNMENT AND THE
PRIVATE SECTOR UNDER
PRESIDENT BIDEN CAN TAKE CARE OF
THE PANDEMIC, THERE'S ACTUALLY A
CASE STUDY HERE.
I'M NOT SAYING IT'S GOING TO BE
A PANACEA, BUT IF THERE IS
COMPETENCE, IF THERE ARE AND THE
VACCINE TIMETABLE, YOU MAY HAVE
A MOMENT WHERE PEOPLE WILL BE
ABLE TO LOOK AT THE INSTITUTIONS
WHICH THEY ARE SO SKEPTICAL OF
RIGHT NOW AND TO SAY THINGS ARE
GETTING A LITTLE BETTER.
THIS ELECTION WAS NOT THAT FAR
OUTSIDE THE HISTORICAL
MAINSTREAM IN TERMS OF THE
MARGIN.
>> Bill: SADLY, AMAZINGLY.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
>> LIBERALS NEED TO GET OVER
THAT, I THINK.
>> Bill: THEY NEED TO LOOK AT
WHY, SO MANY PEOPLE CONSIDER
THAT D TOXIC COM, THAT WAS MY
EDITORIAL LAST WEEK.
>> BIDEN COMES IN WITH A LARGER
PERCENTAGE OF THE POPULAR VOTE
THAN TRUMAN, KENNEDY, NIXON AND
78.
>> Bill: TRUMP ALSO WON MORE.
>> BIDEN IS AT 51%.
>> Bill: THAT'S 1%.
CONSIDERING WHAT THEY HAD TO
LOOK AT FOR FOUR YEARS.
>> I KNOW YOU LOVE THIS IMAGE,
YOU'RE PREACHING TO THE CHOIR
HERE, IT I GET THAT BUT IT IS A
51% COUNTRY.
WE KILLED 750,000 PEOPLE TO
ABOLISH SLAVERY.
WE DIDN'T HAVE A CONFERENCE AT
THE 19TH CENTURY BOOKING
INSTITUTION AND SAY HEY, LET'S
GO DO THIS.
>> Bill: WHICH WAS A
SUBSTANTIAL PERCENTAGE OF THE
WHOLE COUNTRY AT THAT TIME.
>> I GREW UP IN THE REGION UNTIL
52 YEARS AGO, WE LIVED UNDER
LEGALIZED APARTHEID AT THE
BALLOT BOX.
I'M NOT SAYING LET THIS STUFF
GO, BUT LET'S HAVE SOME SENSE OF
PROPORTION.
>> I DON'T KNOW, WE HAVE A
BATTLE RIGHT NOW AGAINST AN
UNSEEN ENEMY AND ONE SIDE HAS NO
INTEREST IN FIGHTING IT FOR
COMPLETELY PARTISAN REASONS.
THAT IS A CRAVEN -- THE
INABILITY AND DISMISSAL OF
COVID-19 IS A DEADLY VIRUS SHOWS
YOU THE ENDS TO WHICH THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY AND
DONALD TRUMP WILL GO TO PRESERVE
A PARTISAN WORLDVIEW.
MAYBE THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE
VACCINE AND GETTING OUT OF MAX
NEXT YEAR WILL HELP THINGS BUT I
THINK DONALD TRUMP WILL BE ON
THE SIDELINES CLAIMING CREDIT
FOR IF THE ENTIRE TIME, HIS
FOLLOWERS ARE GOING TO BELIEVE
THAT AND I HAVE A HARD TIME
THINKING THEY'RE GOING TO COME
BACK INTO THE FOLD OF
INSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY DESPITE
THE FACT THAT INSTITUTIONAL
DEMOCRACY WILL SAVE THEIR LIVES.
>> Bill: THERE'S BLAME TO GO
AROUND EVERYWHERE, THERE'S
POLITENESS EVERYWHERE, I'M ALSO
AMAZED AT HOW MANY PEOPLE WHO
ARE SAYING I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE
2020 TO BE OVER AS IF WHEN THE
CALENDAR TURNS OVER, THE VIRUS
WILL STILL BE HERE -- STRUNK TRL
STILL BE HERE, HE COULD BE WORSE
PISSING OUTSIDE THE TENT IN.
HE'S GOING TO BE THE ULTIMATE
KINGMAKER, HE'S GOING TO HAVE
VETO POWER, IF WE GET HIM OUT,
HE'S GOING TO HAVE VETO POWER
OVER EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATE.
ALMOST EVERYONE, IF YOU GET THE
DONALD TRUMP TREATMENT, YOU KNOW
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET THE
VOTES.
THAT'S A SCARY PROPOSITION.
>> IT'S AMERICA HELD HOSTAGE.
>> DONALD TRUMP IS THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY, WE SHOULD STOP
SEPARATING THE TWO.
HE IS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
>> Bill: I DON'T THINK WE'VE
EVER HAD SOMEONE WHO COULD DO
THAT.
THIS IS OUR LAST SHOW --
>> I ALWAYS THINK OF YOU AND
ELIZABETH THE SECOND.
WELCOME TO THE CROWN.
A SPOON I ALWAYS THINK OF YOU
WHEN I USE A LATIN PHRASE.
WHICH IS NOT THAT OFTEN.
I'M ALWAYS AMAZED THAT PEOPLE
HAVE SAID TO ME AND I HAD TO
KIND OF AGREE, WHAT A TERRIBLE
YEAR END AND THEY GO AND IT WENT
SO FAST.
AND IT KIND OF DID AND I THOUGHT
TO MYSELF WHEN I'M 1 100 IF I
LIVED THAT LONG, I'M GOING TO
WANT TO REMEMBER THIS YEAR.
IT WAS TERRIBLE BUT IT WAS
MEMORABLE AND WAS UNLIKE
ANYTHING ELSE.
I MADE A LITTLE VIDEO TO MYSELF
TO FUTURE ME BECAUSE WHEN I'M
100 COME I DON'T KNOW.
I MADE IT FOR MYSELF TO REMIND
MYSELF OF WHAT THIS YEAR WAS
WHEN I'M 100 BUT I FIGURED I
WOULD SHOW IT TO YOU, WOULD YOU
LIKE TO SEE IT?
THIS IS A RETROSPECTIVE, A
LITTLE VIDEO I MADE TO MY
100-YEAR-OLD SELF.
HEY THERE, FUTURE ME, IF YOU'RE
WATCHING THIS CONGRATULATIONS ON
MAKING IT TO 100.
SOON YOU'LL BE OLD ENOUGH TO
WATCH FOX NEWS.
ANYWAY, I'M REACHING OUT TO YOU
BECAUSE I FIGURE AT 100, AFTER
ALL THE POT WE SMOKED, YOUR MIND
MUST BE LIKE SOUP.
WHICH YOU PROBABLY HAVE SOME ON
YOUR SHIRT RIGHT NOW.
BUT IF THERE'S EVER A YEAR THAT
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO WANT TO HEAR
ABOUT, IT'S THE FAMOUS PLAGUE
YEAR OF 2020.
BILL - YOU LIVED THROUGH IT!
YOU'RE GONNA WANT TO REMEMBER
SOME OF THIS, BECAUSE IT WAS A
PRETTY SPECIAL TIME.
IN MARCH, WE GOT LOCKED INSIDE -
EVERYBODY COME ALL THE TIME.
WE MAY NOT HAVE HAD TOILET
PAPER, BUT WE HAD A RAW
DETERMINATION TO GET BACK ON THE
AIR.
AND YOUR INTREPID PRODUCERS CAME
THROUGH, AND PUT THE HOME BACK
IN HOME BOX OFFICE!
THANK GOD FOR BACKYARDS AND
MAN CAVES.
HE USED EVERY SQUARE INCH OF
YOUR HOME, YOUR OWN HOME
SHOOTING THE WHOLE SHOW ON
NOTHING BUT AN iPHONE.
YOU INTERVIEWED SENATORS,
CONGRESSMEN, AND MAYORS FROM A
CHAIR IN FRONT OF A CUTOUT OF
TRUMP GIVING THE FINGER AND
2 FEET AWAY FROM A STRIPPER
POLE, THIS REALLY HAPPENED.
THERE WERE LOTS OF CHALLENGES.
TECHNICAL, WHETHER, DOING YOUR
OWN MAKEUP.
BUT ALWAYS WEARING A FRESH SUIT
JUST LIKE YOU ALWAYS HAD IN THE
STUDIO SO PEOPLE UP THERE WOULD
NO FUCK YOU, VIRUS.
THE BIG ONE, HOW DO YOU DO
MONOLOGUE COMEDY WHEN YOU HAVE
NO AUDIENCE?
YOU SON OF A BITCH, YOU GOT
SUPER HIGH ONE NIGHT AND FIGURED
IT OUT!
FINALLY, AFTER FIVE MONTHS, HE
GOT BACK TO THE STUDIO, JUST IN
TIME TO SEE JOE BIDEN GET
ELECTED.
TRUMP REFUSED TO LEAVE,
SOMETHING NO ONE ADMITTED HE
WOULD DO.
>> HE'S NOT GOING TO LEAVE.
I'M THE GUY WHO'S SAYING HE'S
NOT GOOD TO LEAVE EVEN IF HE
LOSES.
HE'S NOT GOING TO LEAVE.
>> HE'S NOT LEAVING.
I DON'T THINK HE'S LEAVING.
I'M RIGHT, AND YOU WON'T LEAVE.
HE'S NOT LEAVING.
HE'S NOT GOING TO LEAVE.
I HOPE THAT TRUMP OR EVEN MORE
DREADFULLY ONE OF HIS OFFSPRING
ISN'T PRESENT WHEN YOU'RE
WATCHING THIS, MOST OF ALL, I
HOPE YOU REMEMBER HOW GRATEFUL
YOU WERE TO THE ENTIRE, INTREPID
INTREPID, UNBREAKABLE STAFF AT
"REAL-TIME" FOR PULLING MIRACLES
OUT OF THEIR ASS EVERY WEEK AND
TO FOLKS AT HOME LETTING US DO
WHAT THEY DO TO KEEP BOTH SIDES
HONEST AND GOOD TIMES AND BAD.
EVEN WHEN THE AUDIENCE WASN'T
REALLY THERE, WE KNEW THEY WERE
THERE.
AND YOU WERE THERE FOR THEM.
OKAY, WHAT A YEAR.
CRAZY.
WHENEVER WE HAVE A BREAK, WE
HAVE ONE IN DECEMBER, WE HAVE
ONE IN THE SUMMER, WE USUALLY DO
FUTURE HEADLINES, THIS IS ONE WE
DID IN JUNE, I JUST WANTED TO
SHOW YOU BECAUSE SOMETIMES THEY
REALLY COME TRUE.
SO WE'RE GOING TO PUT THAT UP
ONLINE THIS YEAR AND IT WILL BE
THERE SHORTLY.
LET ME ASK YOU ABOUT GEORGIA,
GEORGIA SEEMS TO BE THE PROXY
WAR FOR ALL THE MARBLES.
LET'S NOT EVEN GO INTO WHY
GEORGIA IS HAVING THIS RUNOFF,
THE REV 52 REPUBLICAN SENATORS,
48 DEMOCRATS, IF THE DEMOCRATS
WIN THOSE TWO SEATS IN THE
RUNOFF IS JANUARY 5TH AND THEY
GET THE SENATE, BECAUSE THE TIE
IS BROKEN UP BY VICE PRESIDENT
KAMALA HARRIS WHO TRUMP CALLS A
COMMUNIST MONSTER AND HE IS NOT
GIVEN TO HYPERBOLE.
THIS IS SUPER IMPORTANT, IS THIS
WHY SO MANY REPUBLICANS WILL NOT
BREAK WITH HIM?
IF YOU DON'T WIN THE SENATE, THE
WHOLE THING IS ALMOST POINTLESS
PUTTING BIDEN IN THERE, MITCH
McCONNELL IS GOING TO WANT TO
MAKE HIM A ONE-TERM PRESIDENT,
TANK THE ECONOMY, REDISCOVER THE
DEFICIT.
GEORGIA, IT'S ALL ABOUT GETTING
THOSE TWO SEATS IN GEORGIA.
>> ANOTHER MISSED INVESTMENT
OPPORTUNITY WAS BUYING A TV
STATION IN ATLANTA SO YOU COULD
GET THE AD DOLLARS GOING
FORWARD.
>> Bill: WHO DID THAT?
>> ANOTHER PROBLEM.
GEORGIA IS THE NEW FLORIDA.
IT'S THE PIVOT POINT, IT'S A
REALLY INTERESTING STATE.
THE NORTH PART IS PAT BUCHANAN
COUNTRY FROM WAY BACK IN 1992,
IT'S WHERE DOUG COLLINS CAME
FROM.
HOW MUCH POETRY AS THIS?
YOU HAVE THE PASTOR OF EBENEZER
BAPTIST CHURCH IN KINGS PULPIT
IN JOHN LEWIS' DISTRICT STANDING
IN A YEAR WHEN MORE PEOPLE VOTED
AND WITHOUT THAT TURNOUT --
WITHOUT BY THE WAY --
>> Bill: HE'S A DEMOCRAT
RUNNING.
>> THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON OF
2020 I WOULD ARGUE IS JIM
CLYBURN.
WITHOUT JIM CLYBURN ENDORSING
JOE BIDEN, DONALD TRUMP WOULD BE
PRESIDENT FOR REAL, NOT JUST IN
HIS OWN MIND.
>> THE THINK ABOUT THE GEORGIA
RACES IT'S GOING TO BE AN UPHILL
CLIMB FOR DEMOCRATS.
YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBERS FOR THE
ELECTION IN NOVEMBER, BIDEN WON
THE STATE BY AMASSING A BROAD
COALITION, NOT JUST THE DEMOCRAT
BASE BUT PEELING OFF MODERATE
REPUBLICANS WHO JUST WANT TRUMP
OUT OF OFFICE BUT THAT SAME
GROUP OF REPUBLICANS DID NOT
VOTE FOR DOWN BALLOT DEMOCRATS.
JON OSSOFF GOT 100,000 FEWER
VOTES THAN JOE BIDEN, RIGHT?
THAT IS EVIDENCE THAT PEOPLE ARE
SAYING GET TRUMP OUT BUT BIDEN
DOESN'T GET WHAT HE WANTS.
>> Bill: THE TRICKLE
REPUBLICANS RUNNING ARE BOTH
CRIMINALS.
MAY BE CRIMINAL AS A WORD THEY
WOULD OBJECT TO BUT ONE IS --
DAVID PURDUE WHO USED TO RUN
DOLLAR GENERAL, AND THE OTHER
ONE IS KELLY LOEFFLER WHOSE
HUSBAND OWNS THE STOCK EXCHANGE.
I KNOW THAT SOUNDS LIKE A JOKE
ABOUT RICH PEOPLE IN AN ADAM
SANDLER MOVIE BUT THAT'S A REAL
THING, HE OWNS THE STOCK
EXCHANGE.
TWO REGULAR DOWN-HOME FOLKS --
THEY WERE BOTH PRIVY IN JANUARY
TO THE REPORTS COMING OUT OF THE
GOVERNMENT ABOUT HOW BAD
CORONAVIRUS WAS GOING TO BE AND
THEY WENT OUT THERE AND TOLD THE
SUCKERS IT WAS ALL OKAY AND
DUMPED THEIR STOCK AND STUFF
THAT WAS GOING TO BE AFFECTED
LIKE CASINOS THAT WERE GOING TO
SHUT DOWN.
THAT'S NOT GOING TO AFFECT THE
VOTE?
>> IT DIDN'T IN THE FIRST PASS
AT THIS, I THINK THERE IS A REAL
APPETITE ON SOME PARTS OF THE
MODERATE TO BASE THAT'S GOING TO
BE CRITICAL IN THIS RACE NOT TO
HAVE A DEMOCRATICALLY CONTROLLED
SENATE AND WHITE HOUSE.
IT'S GOING TO BE A VERY HARD
CASE FOR JON OSSOFF AND RAPHAEL
WARNOCK TO MAKE THAT THIS ISN'T
HANDING JOE BIDEN THE KEYS TO
THE KINGDOM.
WE ALL KNOW WHAT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT TO.
>> Bill: HOW DOES THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY FUNCTION WITH
THIS COALITION NOW OF QANON
WHICH IS REALLY THE FORCE,
THAT'S WHERE THE ENERGY IS AND
CHARLES KOCH, HE SAID LAST WEEK,
HE'S VERY RUEFUL ABOUT HIS PAST
SUPPORT OF REPUBLICANS
APPARENTLY NOW.
HE'S LIKE WE MADE A BIG MISTAKE
BECAUSE APPARENTLY
FRANKENSTEIN'S MONSTER GOT OUT
OF CONTROL A LITTLE BIT.
HOW WOULD THESE TWO COEXIST?
THE GREEDY TRADITIONAL
REPUBLICAN, AND THE DEMOCRATS
EAT BABIES REPUBLICAN.
>> THAT'S A FABULOUS QUESTION
BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE RESPECTABLE
REPUBLICAN VIEW IN THE WAY THAT
THEY JUSTIFY I THINK -- I BET
THE GEORGIA REPUBLICANS DID
THIS, I BET THERE WERE MORE THAN
A FEW GEORGIA REPUBLICANS WHO
VOTED FOR BIDEN AND VOTED FOR
REPUBLICANS IN THE SENATE ON
THIS IDEA THAT SOMEHOW ANOTHER
JOE BIDEN -- WHO IS ABOUT AS
MUCH OF A SOCIALIST AS MY
SPRINGER SPANIEL'S -- THEY ARE
MORE COMMUNIST THAN JOE BIDEN IS
IS.
THIS IS THE RESPECTABLE THING,
WE WANT DIVIDED GOVERNMENT
BECAUSE WE WANT -- I JUST THINK
WANTS TO EVERY MAN A NATION
COMES A MOMENT TO DECIDE AND
THIS IS AN EXISTENTIAL MOMENT IN
AMERICAN DEMOCRATIC HISTORY AND
I THINK WE HAVE ONE MORE SHOT AT
THIS.
THE VOTERS OF GEORGIA HAVE ONE
MORE SHOT TO GET THIS RIGHT BY
SENDING THESE DEMOCRATS TO THE
SENATE.
>> Bill: BIDEN RAN ON YOUR
HURTING, HELP IS ON THE WAY.
TRUMP RAN ON EVERYTHING IS GREAT
GREAT.
AND YET I'M READING AS THE
RETURNS COME BACK AND WE GET
MORE DETAILED ANALYSIS OF WHAT
HAPPENED THE ELECTION, TRUMP WON
IN PLACES PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING
AND BIDEN WON IN PLACES WHERE
THINGS ARE GOING GREAT, IT
SHOULD BE THE OPPOSITE, ISN'T
IT?
THAT'S HOW FUCKED UP THIS
COUNTRY IS.
I DON'T THINK THAT POLICY
MATTERS ANYMORE, I DON'T THINK
THEY SHOULD ASK THAT QUESTION,
IT DOESN'T MATTER TO THEM, IS
NOT WHAT THEY ARE VOTING ON.
>> PEOPLE ARE VOTING ON MONDAY,
IF YOU ASKED THE QUESTION WHAT
IS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND
POLITE ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS
WHO ARE STILL IN BED WITH THE
PARTY THAT HOSTS CUE IN ON
SUPPORTERS, THEY ARE THERE
BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY ARE
GOING TO BE ABLE TO HOLD ONTO
MORE OF THEIR MONEY AT THE END
OF THE DAY AND THEY ARE WILLING
TO MAKE A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL
AND LITERALLY EVERY OTHER FRONT
BECAUSE THEY THINK THEIR TAXES
ARE GOING TO STAY LOW.
I THINK THAT IS THE TIE THAT
BINDS AT THIS POINT BETWEEN THE
ESTABLISHMENT UPPER-CLASS
EDUCATOR REPUBLICANS AND THE
BASE OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE JUMPED
SO DOWN FAR THE CONSPIRACY
RABBIT HOLE.
>> Bill: WE KNOW ABOUT TAXES
HERE IN CALIFORNIA, DON'T WE?
I WOULDN'T SAY WE WERE UNDER
TEXT.
>> THIS IS NOT UNORIGINAL POINT
TO ME BUT THIS COULD BE A CAUSE
FOR YOU, PARTISANSHIP HAS
ESSENTIALLY BECOME RELIGIOUS.
WE HAVE OUR OWN HOLY BOOKS, OWN
SAVIORS, OWN VIEW OF THE WORLD,
OWN COSMOLOGY, HAD PEOPLE WHO
ARE HARD-CORE, YOU HAVE PEOPLE
WHO SHOW UP ON CHRISTMAS AND
EASTER, TAX DAY, WHATEVER.
THE CMD CHRISTIANS ARE THE TAX
DAY TRUMP VOTER.
THEREFORE RATIONALITY THAT IS
WORKING THROUGH THE DATA HAS
BEEN SHELVED TO THE SIDE AND I
THINK THIS IS MUCH MORE ABOUT
CULTURE AND IDENTITY THAN
ECONOMY AND HEALTH RIGHT NOW.
>> THERE'S ALSO DEMOGRAPHIC
CHANGE OF FOOT AND I THINK WE
ARE AT A HINGE POINT
DEMOGRAPHICALLY WHERE ONE TRIBE
IS ON THE DOWN SLOPE AND AN
ASCENDED TO BROWN DRIVERS AT THE
GATES.
I THINK TRUMP HAS SUCCESSFULLY
STOPED A LOT OF FEAR AROUND THAT
CHANGE, WHICH IS HAPPENING,
EXISTENTIAL, DARWINIAN IN A LOT
OF RESPECTS AND THIS IS THE
AFTEREFFECT OF FEAR AND ANXIETY
ABOUT A CHANGE IN WHAT IT MEANS
TO BE AN AMERICAN AND WHAT THIS
COUNTRY ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE.
>> A HUGE QUESTION IS WHETHER
TRUMP IS THE LAST GASP OF THE
PATRIARCHY OR IS THERE MORE TO
COME?
>> THERE'S MORE TO COME.
>> SO HOW LONG AND WHAT HAPPENS
TO THIS BROAD ANXIETY?
HOW DOES IT MANIFEST?
>> Bill: WHAT ABOUT JUST THE
STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS WE HAVE?
JUST TO START WITH THE TOP TWO
IN MY BOOK, THE ELECTORAL
COLLEGE AND THE SENATE, WE SEEM
TO BE CONSIGNED ABOUT WHAT YOU
WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT THE WAY
THE DEMOGRAPHICS ARE CHANGING,
BIDEN IS GOING TO WIN THIS BY
7 MILLION POPULAR VOTES COME I
DON'T SEE THE REPUBLICAN
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE WINNING
THE POPULAR VOTE EVER AGAIN.
THE SENATE OF COURSE IS RUN BY
REPUBLICANS, TALK ABOUT RIGGED
BECAUSE MY PET PEEVE, THE DAKOTA
TERRITORY GETS FOUR.
AND THE CALIFORNIA GETS
40 MILLION PEOPLE GETS TWO.
WE ARE GOING TO BE CONSIGNED TO
THIS MINORITY RULE, THAT'S A
STRUCTURAL PROBLEM NUMBER ONE
TRAM.
THE JUST IDIOCRACY, THE PEOPLE
GET DUMBER AND DUMBER.
IF THERE'S A GUY, TOMMY
TUBERVILLE WHO JUST GOT ELECTED
TO THE SENATE IN ALABAMA, DOES
NOT KNOW THE THREE BRANCHES OF
GOVERNMENT.
THIS IS THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL
QUESTION YOU CAN ASK ANYBODY.
IMMIGRANTS WHO TAKE THE TEST ARE
LIKE ASK ME THE NEXT ONE.
HE SAID IT WAS THE HOUSE THE
SENATE, AND THE EXECUTIVE.
AND THEN THERE'S THE KEWEENAW
AND LADY AND THE BABY EATERS WHO
ARE COMING IN -- I DON'T KNOW
HOW IF THE TEACHERS ARE STUPID
HOW THE KIDS GET SMART.
I DON'T KNOW HOW WE OVERCOME
THESE STRUCTURAL CHANGES --
>> NOT ONLY IS IT MINORITY RULE,
IT'S MINORITY RULE BY A PARTY
THAT'S SHOWN ITSELF TO HAVE NO
GOVERNING AGENDA OTHER THAN
OBFUSCATION AND INTRANSIGENCE.
>> Bill: MAKE LIBERALS CRY.
>> WHAT IS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY?
YET WE NEED TO RECONCILE WHAT IT
IS BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO PLAY
THE DOMINANT ROLE IN AMERICAN
POLITICS IN THE FORTHCOMING
FUTURE.
I DON'T MEAN TO BE THE MOST
NEGATIVE PERSON IN THE WORLD BUT
PRESIDENT OBAMA WAS TALKING THIS
WEEK ABOUT WHY PEOPLE TURN TO
AMERICA AND IT'S NOT JUST
BECAUSE WE EXPORT ALL OF THESE
WONDERFUL CULTURAL IDEAS BUT
IT'S ALSO BECAUSE WE ARE THE
LITMUS TEST FOR SELF-GOVERNANCE.
IN THIS MOMENT, THIS IS WHAT IT
LOOKS LIKE WHEN THAT EXPERIMENT
IN SELF GOVERNMENT BEGINS TO
FAIL.
>> Bill: AND WE MAKE THEIR
PHONE.
>> SELF GOVERNMENT IS AS GOOD AS
WE ARE.
THE STRUCTURE ITSELF IS
RELEVANT.
POLITICIANS ARE MIRRORS OF WHO
WE ARE.
>> Bill: ONE MINUTE LEFT, TELL
ME SOMETHING HOPEFUL, TELL ME
SOMETHING OPTIMISTIC, TELL ME
ONE OPTIMISTIC HOPEFUL THING AND
THEN I'LL SAY MINE.
I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A GREAT
QUESTION TO END THE SEASON WITH,
TELL ME SOMETHING HOPEFUL.
>> THE END OF THE YEAR IS
COMING, WE LIKE THAT.
I THINK THE FACT THAT JOE BIDEN
WON THE SAME POPULAR VOTE, MORE
THAN RONALD REAGAN, MORE THAN
CLINTON, MORE THAN TRUMAN, MORE
THAN JACK KENNEDY SUGGESTS THAT
WE ARE A 51% COUNTRY AND IT MAY
JUST BE 51%, BUT HE IS PRESIDENT
TRUMP'S ONLY PRESIDENT AND HIS
AND RUDY'S MIND.
>> Bill: A SMALL THING.
>> IT'S A BIG THING, I THINK
WE'VE LOST SIGHT OF THIS, TRY AS
WE MIGHT, ON JANUARY 20TH, A
WOMAN WHO IS A DAUGHTER OF
JAMAICAN AND INDIAN IMMIGRANTS
IS GOING TO BECOME THE COUNTRY'S
FIRST FEMALE VICE PRESIDENT.
>> Bill: AND SOON THE NEXT
PRESIDENT.
>> MAY BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT,
THE AMERICAN STORY CONTINUES TO
CHANGE.
>> Bill: MINE IS KEITH
RICHARDS STOPPED SMOKING.
I'M JUST SAYING ANYONE CAN DO
ANYTHING AT ANY TIME.
I DIDN'T THINK THAT WOULD EVER
HAPPEN.
CHANGE IS ALWAYS POSSIBLE.
NOW THAT THE POLICE
CHIEF OF MARSHALL, ARKANSAS
RESIGNED AFTER POSTING ON HIS
SOCIAL MEDIA "DEATH TO ALL
MARXIST DEMOCRATS" - SOMEONE HAS
HOW MANY MARXIST
DEMOCRATS ARE THERE ARE IN
MARSHALL?
IF THERE'S TWO, THAT'S ONE MORE
THAN THERE ARE STREET LIGHTS.
IT'S A ONE-HORSE TOWN, AND
UNLESS THAT HORSE HAS BEEN
READING THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO,
I THINK WE'RE SAFE.
NEIGHBORS OF THE
GEORGIA WOMAN WHO TURNED HER
PORCH INTO A RESTAURANT FOR
CHIPMUNKS MUST CONDUCT A
WELLNESS CHECK.
HEY, WE ALL GET LONELY DURING A
PANDEMIC BUT TURNING YOUR PORCH
INTO AN APPLEBEE'S FOR RODENTS?
ALL I KNOW IS, GET THERE EARLY
IN THE DAY CUZ DINNER IS NUTS!
THE WOMAN WHO COULDN'T
HAVE CHILDREN OF HER OWN, AND SO
HAD HER OWN MOTHER BE THE
SURROGATE MOM, MUST NEVER SAY TO
HER DAUGHTER AT BREAKFAST, "HEY,
CLEAN YOU PLATE!
GRANDMA WORKED HARD ON THOSE
EGGS!"
IT'S THE LAST SHOW, COME ON.
SOMEONE MUST TELL THE
MICHIGAN COUPLE WHO HAD A
CONGRATULATIONS!
OH, AND ALSO: STOP HAVING
CHILDREN.
IT'S A UTERUS.
NOT A SALAD SHOOTER.
SCIENCE HAS TO EXPLAIN
WHY, ONCE YOU TURN 60, EVERYONE
LOOKS LIKE A CHILD.
COPS LOOK LIKE THEY'RE 15.
MAJOR LEAGUERS LOOK LIKE THEY'RE
12.
AND, NOT TO PUT TOO FINE A POINT
ON IT, BUT THIS IS MY
PROCTOLOGIST.
AND FINALLY, NEW RULE.
HEY, IT'S OUR LAST
SHOW OF THE SEASON, SCREW THE
RULES.
TONIGHT I'D LIKE TO TELL YOU A
TALE - OF DR. WILLIAM MILLER,
THE AMERICAN PREACHER WHOSE
TEACHINGS SPAWNED THE SEVENTH
DAY ADVENTIST RELIGION OF TODAY.
IN THE 19TH CENTURY MILLER GREW
AN ENORMOUS FOLLOWING BY TELLING
ANYONE WHO'D LISTEN THAT HE
COULD - BY READING THE BIBLE AND
THEN APPLYING HIS OWN "MATH" -
PREDICT THE EXACT DATE FOR THE
SECOND COMING, JESUS' BIG RETURN
TO SHOW BUSINESS.
WHICH, GOOD NEWS-BAD NEWS, ALSO
MEANT THE WORLD WOULD BE COMING
TO AN END.
PEAKING IN THE EARLY 1840S,
WILLIAM MILLER'S RALLIES
ATTRACTED THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE,
ALL FOCUSED ON THIS ONE IDEA
THAT THE WORLD WAS GOING TO END
ON HIS PREDICTED DATE OF OCTOBER
22, 1844: THAT IS THE DAY THE
WORLD WOULD COME TO AN END.
IT DIDN'T.
CHRIST TOTALLY BLEW THEM OFF -
HE WAS SUPPOSED TO SHOW UP, AND
JUST FLAKED.
TYPICAL.
NOW, WHEN YOU STAKE YOUR WHOLE
RELIGION ON ONE ALL-IMPORTANT
PROPHECY THAT THEN DOESN'T COME
TRUE, THE LOGICAL REACTION FROM
FOLLOWERS SHOULD BE "WELL, I
GUESS THAT WAS A BUNCH OF
BULLSHIT."
BUT NO, THIS SECT DOUBLED DOWN,
AND TO THIS DAY REFERS TO
OCTOBER 22, 1844 AS, "THE GREAT
DISAPPOINTMENT."
BECAUSE OF COURSE IT'S
DISAPPOINTING WHEN THE WORLD
DOESN'T END, BUT THE IMPORTANT
THING IS THAT YOU DIDN'T LET
YOUR FAITH BE SHAKEN IN THE GUY
WHO GOT IT DEAD WRONG.
OKAY, SO BY NOW YOU'RE SAYING,
"BILL, WHAT THE FUCK DOES ALL
THIS HAVE TO DO WITH WHAT'S
GOING ON IN THE WORLD TODAY?"
WELL, RECENTLY THERE'S BEEN
ANOTHER LARGE GROUP OF PEOPLE
WHO HAD A "GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT"
AND WILL NOT ACCEPT THEIR LOSS.
AND THE CHALLENGE FOR US IS HOW
DO YOU GET PEOPLE OUT OF A CULT?
ESPECIALLY WHEN EVERY TIME YOU
PRESENT EVIDENCE OF WHAT IS
OBVIOUS REALITY, THEY TAKE IT AS
PROOF OF YOU BEING IN ON A
CONSPIRACY TO DESTROY THEM.
AND FOR THE ANSWER TO THAT
QUESTION, WE MUST TURN TO - AND
I'M SURE MANY OF YOU HAVE
ALREADY GUESSED WHO I'M GOING TO
SAY NOW - CATHERINE OXENBERG.
YES, CATHERINE OXENBERG:
ACTRESS, STAR OF "DYNASTY,"
EUROPEAN ROYALTY, AND LADY IN
FRONT OF YOU AT WHOLE FOODS,
CATHERINE OXENBERG.
BECAUSE SHE GOT SOMEBODY OUT OF
A CULT, AND I KNOW ABOUT 70
MILLION OTHER AMERICANS I'D LIKE
HER TO TALK TO.
NOW, IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M
REFERRING TO, CATHERINE OXENBERG
WAS RECENTLY FEATURED IN NOT ONE
BUT TWO DOCUMENTARIES ABOUT A
CULT CALLED NEXIUM THAT
BRAINWASHED HER DAUGHTER INDIA.
NEXIUM WAS LED BY A CON MAN, NOW
SERVING 120 YEARS, NAMED KEITH
RANIERE, AKA "VANGUARD."
THAT'S THE NAME HE GAVE HIMSELF.
AND AS I WAS WATCHING THIS
DOCUMENTARY, I COULDN'T STOP
THINKING THAT RANIERE - I MEAN,
VANGUARD - REMINDED ME OF
SOMEONE, BUT I COULDN'T PUT MY
FINGER ON WHO.
FOR EXAMPLE, LIKE MOST CULT
LEADERS, VANGUARD HAD AN
EXTRAORDINARY NEED TO BE
SURROUNDED BY ASS-LICKERS
>> HAS YOUR BEING A PART OF MY
LIFE ENHANCE MY LIFE?
I DON'T HAVE WORDS TO TELL YOU
HOW MUCH IT HAS.
A HEARTFELT TRIBUTE TO VANGUARD,
YOU MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO
GROW OURSELVES EVERY DAY AND OF
THE PEOPLE WE WANT TO BE.
>> A VERY AMAZING MAN IN THE
MANY, MANY WAYS.
>> Bill: WHO DID THAT REMIND
ME OF?
WHO?
>> I DON'T KNOW THAT IT NEVER
BEEN MORE PROUD TO BE STANDING
NEXT TO YOU.
>> THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR
ALLOWING US TO HAVE YOU AS OUR
PRESIDENT.
>> YOU'RE LIVING UP TO
EVERYTHING I THOUGHT YOU WOULD,
YOU'RE ONE HECK OF A LEADER.
>> Bill: YEAH, THAT GUY.
THAT'S RIGHT.
THE ONE WHO WAS ALSO ALWAYS
BRAGGING ABOUT WHAT A GENIUS HE
IS.
>> I'M SMARTER THAN HIM, I'M
SMARTER THAN ANYBODY.
I'M A VERY STABLE GENIUS.
DONALD TRUMPS VERY, VERY LARGE
BRAIN.
>> Bill: GET THIS, VANGUARD'S
FOLLOWERS BELIEVED HE WAS
DEMONSTRABLY THE SINGLE SMARTEST
PERSON ON THE WORLD BECAUSE HE
TOLD THEM.
TOLD THEM HE SPOKE IN
FULL SENTENCES WHEN HE WAS ONE,
AND ALSO THAT HE INVENTED HIS
OWN MATH.
JUST LIKE DR. WILLIAM MILLER!
AND BOTH TRUMP'S AND VANGUARD'S
STATUS AS CULT LEADER SPRANG
FROM THEIR CREATION MYTHS AS
OFF-THE-CHARTS BUSINESS SAVANTS,
WHEN IN REALITY VANGUARD'S
CONSUMER BYLINE BUSINESS WAS A
PYRAMID SCHEME SHUT DOWN BY THE
STATE OF NEW YORK, AND ABOUT AS
SUCCESSFUL AS THE THREE CASINOS
TRUMP DROVE INTO BANKRUPTCY IN
THE 90S.
OH, AND THEY BOTH STARTED FAKE
SCHOOLS.
AND THEN THERE'S THE FACT THAT
BOTH MEN WERE SUCH UNREPENTANT
SEX CREEPS THAT THEY LITERALLY
COULD NOT STOP THEMSELVES FROM
>> IF WE CONQUER A WOMAN, IF WE
GRAB THE THING WE WANT TO FUCK
AND FUCK IT AND WE DO WHATEVER
WE WANT AND THEY LIKE IT.
>> WHEN YOU'RE A STAR THEY LET
YOU DO IT, YOU CAN DO ANYTHING.
GRAB THEM BY THE PUSSY.
>> Bill: YEAH, YOU DIDN'T
NOTICE THAT?
IT SEEMED RATHER PARALLEL TO ME.
LIKE ALL CULT LEADERS, THEY HAD
TO HAVE THAT ONE QUEEN BEE
AROUND THEM WHO THEY DEPUTIZE TO
RECRUIT OTHERS INTO THEIR SICK
GAMES --
VANGUARD HAD SMALLVILLE ACTRESS
ALISON MACK.
TRUMP HAS LINDSEY GRAHAM.
WHEN YOU'RE FIGHTING A CULT,
YOU'RE NOT JUST FIGHTING THE
LEADERS, BUT ALL THE ENABLERS
WHO SEE YOU AS AN ENEMY.
TRUTH IS A THREAT TO THEM.
AND THAT'S WHY WHAT CATHERINE
OXENBERG DID WAS SO INSTRUCTIVE.
YOU'VE HEARD THE PHRASE "HATE
THE SIN, LOVE THE SINNER"?
WELL, SHE PRACTICED "HATE THE
CULT, LOVE THE CULTIST."
SHE DIDN'T SCREAM AT HER
DAUGHTER THAT SHE WAS STUPID,
SHE DIDN'T CUT HER OFF - SHE
JUST KEPT TRYING TO REMIND HER
OF WHO SHE USED TO BE.
I THINK WE NEED TO TRY THAT ON
QANON.
YOU KNOW, THE ONES WHO BELIEVE
THAT RICH LIBERALS ARE RUNNING A
MASSIVE PEDOPHILE RING AND EAT
BABIES, AND IN SOME CASES ARE
REALLY LIZARD PEOPLE WEARING A
HUMAN MASK.
AND THEY WERE AS SURE THAT TRUMP
WAS GOING TO WIN RE-ELECTION AS
DR. MILLER'S FOLLOWERS WERE THAT
THE WORLD WAS GOING TO END IN
1844.
THEY WERE TOLD TO "TRUST THE
PLAN," THAT TRUMP GETS A SECOND
TERM DEVOTED TO BUSTING THIS
DEMOCRATIC SEX TRAFFICKING RING.
BUT NOW ON MESSAGE BOARDS WE CAN
SEE THEIR DOUBT AND DESPONDENCY.
, "MY FAITH IS SHAKEN.
I FOLLOWED THE PLAN.
TRUMP LOST.
WHAT NOW?"
WHAT NOW?
AN OPPORTUNITY.
TO LIFT THE SCALES FROM THEIR
EYES.
BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN
FROM MOCKING THEM OR CALLING
THEM STUPID OR MAKING SMART
REMARKS LIKE, "IF KAMALA HARRIS
REALLY IS A LIZARD PERSON, WHY
DIDN'T SHE EAT THAT FLY ON MIKE
PENCE'S HEAD?"
DON'T DO THAT, I'M SAYING DON'T
DO THAT.
REALLY.
ONE MORE AND THEN DON'T DO IT.
RATHER, IF YOU HAVE TRUMP
RELATIVES OVER FOR THANKSGIVING,
UNDERSTAND THEY'VE BEEN THROUGH
A TRAUMATIC EVENT.
THEIR SAVIOR - THE STRONGEST,
SMARTEST, MANLIEST HUNK OF
LEADER WHO EVER LIVED - JUST GOT
HIS ASS KICKED BY THE
2000-YEAR-OLD MAN.
SO DON'T GLOAT.
DON'T EVEN TRY TO ARGUE.
BECAUSE ARGUING WITH CULT PEOPLE
ONLY MAKES IT WORSE.
>> IF THERE'S HOPE, IT'S NOT IN
ANY OF THE WORDS THAT WERE
COMMUNICATED, IT'S IN HERE.
>> Bill: AND IT SO IT IS FOR
ME.
FOR ALL OF YOU IN THE AUDIENCE,
THANK YOU SO MUCH WHO PUT UP SO
MUCH FOR US TO BE HERE.
ALL THE FOLKS WHO HELPED MAKE IT
POSSIBLE TO DO THE SHOW RIGHT
NOW, AND THE CREW WHO ROLL WITH
IT SO WELL, MY BRILLIANT STAFF -
THANK YOU ALL.
AND ESPECIALLY EVERYONE AT HOME
- HERE'S HOPING FOR A BETTER
NEXT YEAR - COULDN'T HAVE GOT
THROUGH THIS ONE WITHOUT YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, THANK YOU,
JOHN, THANK YOU ALEX, THANK YOU
MICHAEL ERIC DYSON MICHAEL ERIC
DYSON, WE'LL BE BACK
JANUARY 15TH!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
