1:14
a question about your framing here. You're
1:17
sort of implying that Donald Trump and
1:19
Joe Biden are the same and we
1:21
both know that Donald Trump tells
1:24
his followers a lot of lies. He
1:26
encouraged the insurrection on January 6th. He
1:28
told them it would be wild. He
1:31
constantly undermines both democracy and the
1:33
rule of law. Thank
1:38
you, Molly Young-Fast. You get today's Eric Boulding Award,
1:41
calling out both sides. Do it both in the
1:43
media. Thank you. Can we get her on? And
1:45
you guys can bond over famous mother stuff. Who's
1:48
your mother? Erica Young. Fear
1:51
of flying. Okay. Hi, good morning,
1:53
Chris. I haven't read that. I'm sorry. We
1:55
mostly, let's review what we've mostly, why
1:58
do I have a paper boarding pass? instead of
2:00
just on my phone. And I
2:02
told you, A, I'm old. I did that in
2:04
the paper version. But
2:06
also because the guy that owns the show has
2:08
an uncanny knack for calling me right when
2:10
I'm going through security. Okay, checking that you're
2:13
at the airport. And you know we have
2:15
sexy liberal Minneapolis tomorrow, correct? Yeah.
2:18
If they're reading your boarding pass at that
2:20
moment, let it go to voicemail and call
2:22
him from the jetway. Now, then sometimes
2:24
you're paying attention. You gotta be a code
2:26
back in, whatever. I
2:28
have just Angela B. Sheldon, I have my
2:30
boarding pass. I'm mostly passed.
2:35
You were trying to decide your fashion
2:37
choices for Minneapolis in April. Right,
2:39
it's Minneapolis in April. And two weeks ago there was
2:41
a snowstorm, but it's gonna be like 75 tomorrow. So,
2:44
I, Jodi says velvet's okay,
2:46
and Jodi is the fashion plate of the Stephanie
2:48
Miller show. No, no I'm not. No,
2:51
you are. Okay. Why don't we ask
2:53
David Minneapolis? Oh, good idea, David Minneapolis. He
2:55
wore Daisy Dukes and a halter top to
2:57
the left sexy liberal. Sure,
3:00
he was playing Marcus Bachman, but you know, he's
3:02
a little suspect. Maybe you could go to- He
3:04
shops for clothes at the Harmar. Maybe you could
3:06
go to the Burlington Coat Factory at the Harmar
3:08
to pick up a nice spring dress. Okay,
3:12
all right. Hey, to Molly's point, let's get
3:14
her on and talk mommy issues. But
3:18
Viva La Vermin on Twitter says, I
3:20
know this sounds nuts, but I listen
3:22
to Stephanie Miller and podcasts
3:24
Monday through Friday, that's it. I don't watch mainstream
3:26
media. I listen to
3:28
Bob Sesca, Frangela Muller, she wrote during the week
3:31
as well, but that's it. I've never felt less
3:33
crazy. Thank you. This is the show, you
3:36
think that you're taking crazy pills watching
3:38
the rest of the media about this.
3:40
We're all crazy. Well, yeah, that
3:42
goes without saying, but that's because we have saved
3:44
other people's sanity, so we had to sacrifice our
3:47
own. Sure. Okay. This
3:50
is where I go for my jock
3:52
tweets. This is where I go for my sanity.
3:55
I'm going to have to understand the moment we are in. This
3:57
is... What
4:00
we're dealing with. Psychotic dementia layered over
4:02
low IQ, layered over long-term
4:05
drug abuse, layered over malignant narcissism,
4:07
layered over homicidal sadism, layered over
4:10
unquenchable blood loss, layered over a
4:12
life of crime, layered over treason, layered over
4:14
a complicit GOP. Thank
4:17
you, Jesus. Jock on Twitter. Thank
4:19
you. And that's just O.J. Simpson. We
4:27
know that he's talking about Trump. However,
4:30
you know, someone, this is Gordon on Twitter
4:32
actually said, all I have to say about
4:34
O.J. being dead is that Nicole Brown Simpson
4:36
was the tragic and unwitting pioneer of believe
4:38
women. No one keeps
4:40
photographs of bruises sustained at the hands
4:42
of their abuser in a safe deposit
4:44
box because they're overreacting. May he, her
4:47
and Ron Goldman memories continue to be a blessing. Yeah,
4:51
this broke during the show yesterday and all
4:54
I've tweeted or texted to my friends is
4:56
I hope Johnny Cochran's overcharging him in hell. Okay,
4:59
that would be my moment in sympathy.
5:03
Well, we didn't even
5:05
get a chance to talk about it a lot because
5:07
we're here in LA. We're here in the epicenter. But
5:09
a lot of people have also said there's a straight
5:11
line from that coverage to where we are today
5:13
in cover of this sensationalism. Absolutely. I mean, we
5:16
lived in the thick of it. Oh, I forgot
5:18
to confess that I said the dumbest thing ever
5:20
in the O.J. coverage because I was just a
5:22
baby. Just a baby talk show
5:24
host that I wasn't even remember. I came from
5:26
music radio. That was your first talk talk
5:28
show. Yes. I'm KFI. I go to
5:30
music radio. I'm going to do a couple
5:32
of jokes with again. Here comes Melissa. That
5:35
was it. So I've been doing like talk
5:37
for like a minute and the O.J. is
5:39
still broken. So I'm covering it with Terry
5:41
Ray Elmer, the newscaster of KFI and John
5:43
and Ken and Bill Handel. And
5:46
like we're covering a live Bronco chase and like,
5:48
you know, you're trying to fill time. And I'm
5:51
I don't know what to say. And I think I said
5:53
something like, well, we know if he
5:56
shoots himself or we hear it. I said
5:58
something stupid and everybody looked at me. I was like. I'm
6:01
just I'm a music DJ. I don't know. I'm just filling time
6:04
they got somebody had a gun to his head
6:06
You were like, okay. Well, it's like well,
6:08
I think we'll see blood or something
6:11
They got bill handle to drive into the studio Long
6:15
time ago. Okay. I don't know if
6:17
he was there. I can't remember. I know it was tea ray
6:19
Yeah, cuz I know it was right. I can't
6:21
remember what time it was. I was during my
6:24
time, right? Yeah, and so I don't know how
6:26
to hung out coverage of the Bronco chase anyway
6:29
Yeah, and I was telling the story yesterday about that
6:33
The verdict came down when I was on the
6:35
set for my disastrous late night TV
6:37
show in 1995 And we were in
6:39
down in that tiny window of time that you yes Imagine
6:42
that yes 12 weeks that you were there

7:58
You so weird We all were such
8:01
a tight cast and crew. We all loved each
8:03
other. And we were in
8:05
hair and makeup. And I remember that
8:07
moment, all the white people were like,
8:09
oh, and all the black people cheered. And look
8:12
at me. I'm like
8:14
little lame ass liberal. How many times have I
8:16
been called a race traitor and stood up
8:18
for people of color and civil rights?
8:22
And so I was not even aware of. But
8:25
somebody was putting in context that was
8:28
right after Rodney King, where you're like,
8:30
how did those racist motherfucker get away
8:32
with this? You understand, as Frandalo talks
8:35
about, it's a lifetime of
8:37
seeing it in equal justice. But I remember
8:39
I was saying at the time, Chris, I'm like, justice
8:41
isn't black or white, it's green. OJ
8:43
was able to buy enough reasonable
8:45
doubt. And also, a couple
8:48
of black friends of mine said the same
8:50
thing. I was thinking at the time, they're
8:52
like, OJ totally rejected the black community. He
8:54
only dated white women. He only wanted to
8:56
be at white country clubs golfing with white
8:58
guys at clubs that didn't allow black people.
9:01
I'm like, where did he earn all this
9:03
loyalty from the black community? I mean,
9:06
also, did I mention he's a scumbag double murderer? I
9:08
just thought I should mention that. He
9:10
was adjudicated that way in a civil court. about
9:13
the floundering, oh, and the floundering
9:16
prosecution team. And I'm like, OK, I
9:18
get it, Marsha Clark is a personal friend of
9:20
mine. They were not floundering.
9:22
They had a mountain of evidence.
9:26
That's not what this was about. Are you
9:28
kidding me? People were like, do you think
9:30
people have been executed on 1, 25th of
9:32
the evidence they had against OJ? I
9:34
mean, ah, and it's just, I
9:37
remember Dan Abrams, he hired
9:39
us for our equally even
9:41
shorter stint. On MSNBC?
9:45
He says he feels guilty about his career
9:47
being made off of that. Off of the depths
9:49
of two people. But he talked about,
9:51
could they get more despicable? Did you
9:54
see what Alan Dershowitz said? Yeah. He
9:56
said, oh, I feel bad for Ron
9:58
and Nicole. They've called me, first
10:01
I would have represented them. Oh
10:03
my God, way to admit that you have
10:05
absolutely no principles of any kind. It
10:07
was like, okay, well they didn't, so I
10:10
represented the double murderer instead. Oh,
10:12
he's always been a despicable piece of ... Anyway,
10:15
always my point. I have no idea. Oh,
10:18
it's the Dan Abrams said, he was talking about ...
10:20
They all knew at the time his defense team, they
10:22
all knew he was guilty. Right. They
10:24
said Johnny Cochran said privately he knew he
10:26
was guilty. Oh, it's just
10:29
the whole ... Anyway, that's when this whole
10:31
media circus started, celebrity and blah blah. Oh
10:33
my God, and I thought right to the
10:35
end, remember yesterday when this broke? Oh,
10:38
Jay tweeted not too long
10:40
ago, oh my God, a despicable liar
10:42
right to the end. He said, hospice,
10:44
hospice, I'm not dying. I'm like, this
10:47
was like a month ago. Liar. Yeah.
10:50
And to the end, and he quoted Trump in his tweet. He
10:52
said, as Donald Trump would say, fake news. I'm like, speaking
10:56
of white guys you want to golf
10:58
with and you don't ... They're just
11:00
despicable. Okay. That concludes
11:03
my OJ coverage. Okay, thanks. I am.
11:09
I mean, people, Gen Z
11:11
has no idea how massive
11:14
that thing was in the 90s. Oh my God.
11:16
Yeah. I remember being ...
11:18
That's when I met Marsha Clark at an event. Everybody
11:21
just like, steered off and was like,
11:23
oh my God. They were the first
11:26
legal ladies in the lab, Rod Mars. Yeah,
11:28
and it crossed worlds. Crossing
11:30
the entertainment. E Entertainment Television was carrying
11:33
the bird eye. Everybody was. ESPN was
11:35
carrying it. All of these
11:37
different channels were carrying it. It also was
11:39
responsible for killing the soap opera. Right. Yes,
11:42
it did. And that was the first
11:44
bit that Jay Leno ripped off from the United
11:46
States. The Simpson Bunch. We did the whole great
11:48
bunch thing. It ended up that night. Yep. Yep.
11:52
But the networks would carry it. Maybe not him, his writers. Yeah.
11:55
The networks would carry it during the day and preempt the soap opera. And
11:57
it was awful. And killed the soap operas. Yeah. I
12:00
remember at the time that we're going, it's not funny, it's
12:02
a double murder. And it's like, no, it's not. We're not
12:04
making fun of that. We're making fun of the circus around
12:06
it because it really remember the dancing eatos and it just
12:08
what it was such a. But that's what I thought. There
12:11
I understood people saying there was a straight
12:13
line that we've never sort of
12:15
recovered media wise. Um,
12:18
it gave birth to Megan Kelly. She was hired
12:20
as a, as a OJ, uh,
12:22
court watcher. Yeah. It gave birth to Dan
12:24
Abrams gave birth to Nancy grace. It gave
12:27
birth to all these people that are still
12:29
with us today. Yeah. Yeah. I
12:32
know. I mean, it was
12:34
massive created some swamp creatures. Yes. It's
12:36
still look, look, the earth
12:38
today. Yeah. Joe tweets a brief
12:41
summary of the American justice system. OJ got away with
12:43
murder. Trump got away with a coup attempt. Georgia
12:45
man sentenced after using stolen credit cards
12:47
for transaction at lows. Uh,
12:49
41 year old was sentenced to four and a half
12:51
years in prison. I mean, that's what people are talking
12:54
about. And so I understand,
12:56
you know, the whole dynamic about,
12:58
you know, black people cheering because
13:00
they're like, Oh, finally, you know,
13:03
but it just, what else did Alan Dershowitz as
13:05
if he could say anything more despicable, just shut
13:07
up. Could you load my shut up cannon? He,
13:10
um, he said something. Hang on.
13:12
Oh, please. Oh, please. I have it
13:14
here. Sorry. I was, it's, I interrupt this, this
13:16
Trump frenzy for an OJ frenzy 30
13:19
years later. Hang
13:22
on. I'm trying to get it. They do it. They do it. Oh,
13:26
hold please. Oh, what's going on over
13:28
there? For God's sake. Okay. He said
13:31
something about, Oh yes, you know, OJ, the little
13:33
done in history was something, but
13:35
then he said also like, you know, did
13:37
the police frame him? I'm like, Oh,
13:39
you know, it'll, it'll be debated forever. Did OJ
13:42
do it and did the police frame him? Will
13:44
not be debated forever. Did it. And you know,
13:46
he didn't know the police didn't frame him.
13:48
And was Mark from an erases despicable piece
13:50
of, as well. Yes. But Oh
13:52
my God. And he said, and I'll quote him for
13:54
you. I'm very sympathetic with the gold mines and
13:56
the Brown family. Shut up. I wish I could
13:58
have been on their side. You could have.
14:00
But I wasn't. And in the end, I think
14:03
history will remember OJ Simpson as someone who possibly
14:05
did it, but who the police tried to frame.
14:07
Oh my god. Shut up! Shut up!
14:09
Shut up! You shut up! Shut the
14:11
f*** up! Shut all
14:13
the way the f*** up until
14:15
you reach the top of Shut F***
14:18
Mountain where there are no more f***
14:21
ups to shut! Okay. We
