IT'S GETTING TO BE A VERY
SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP AT THIS

00:02:31,192 --> 00:02:31,651
POINT.

ALL THAT BADNESS IS FINALLY
BEHIND US, AND WE'RE OFF TO A
34
00:02:37,490 --> 00:02:39,158
FRESH START WITH A RAGING
PANDEMIC, AND A PRESIDENT WHO'S
35
00:02:39,158 --> 00:02:41,494
TRYING TO STEAL THE ELECTION.
36
00:02:41,494 --> 00:02:44,664
TURNS OUT, 2020 IS DROPPING SOME
BONUS TRACKS!
37
00:02:44,664 --> 00:02:49,669
CASE IN POINT: YESTERDAY, WE GOT
A HOT NEW RECORDING OF A
38
00:02:49,669 --> 00:02:53,173
JAW-DROPPING PHONE CALL BETWEEN
THE PRESIDENT AND GEORGIA
39
00:02:53,173 --> 00:02:56,801
SECRETARY OF STATE, AND MAN
TAPING A HOSTAGE VIDEO FROM A
40
00:02:56,801 --> 00:03:01,014
LAQUINTA, BRAD RAFFENSPERGER.
41
00:03:01,014 --> 00:03:02,682
AS SECRETARY OF STATE,
RAFFENSPERGER OVERSAW GEORGIA'S
42
00:03:02,682 --> 00:03:05,351
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, AS WELL
AS ITS RECOUNT, AS WELL AS THE
43
00:03:05,351 --> 00:03:09,898
RECOUNT OF THE RECOUNT, EACH OF
WHICH VERIFIED THAT BIDEN WON
44
00:03:09,898 --> 00:03:12,859
THE STATE.
45
00:03:12,859 --> 00:03:17,196
SO, SATURDAY, THE PRESIDENT
GOT HIM ON THE PHONE TO CONVINCE
46
00:03:17,196 --> 00:03:19,866
HIM THAT NUH-UH!
47
00:03:19,866 --> 00:03:24,829
NOW, BUCKLE UP, BECAUSE THIS
CALL IS LIKE IF WATERGATE AND
48
00:03:24,829 --> 00:03:31,044
THE UKRAINE SCANDAL HAD A
BABY ON THE "ACCESS HOLLYWOOD"
49
00:03:31,044 --> 00:03:31,753
BUS.
50
00:03:31,753 --> 00:03:35,381
WHEN YOU'RE A STAR, THEY LET
YOU.
51
00:03:35,381 --> 00:03:40,386
THE PRESIDENT BEGAN THE CALL
WITH HARD DATA: RALLY!
52
00:03:40,386 --> 00:03:44,182
>> IF WE COULD JUST GO OVER SOME
OF THE NUMBERS, I THINK IT'S
53
00:03:44,182 --> 00:03:46,225
PRETTY CLEAR THAT WE WON.
54
00:03:46,225 --> 00:03:50,396
WE WON VERY SUBSTANTIALLY IN
GEORGIA.
55
00:03:50,396 --> 00:03:53,191
YOU EVEN SEE IT BY RALLY SIZE
FRANKLY.
56
00:03:53,191 --> 00:03:57,403
WE'D BE GETTING 25-30,000 PEOPLE
A RALLY.
57
00:03:57,403 --> 00:04:00,073
>> STEPHEN: OKAY, THAT IS A LOT
OF PEOPLE.
58
00:04:00,073 --> 00:04:04,243
ONE PROBLEM: RALLY SIZE DOES NOT
DECIDE AN ELECTION.
59
00:04:04,243 --> 00:04:10,583
THAT'S WHY ON THE 20TH, WE WON'T
BE SWEARING IN PRESIDENT BTS.
60
00:04:10,583 --> 00:04:16,214
MY FELLOW AMERICANS, THE STATE
OF OUR UNION IS--
61
00:04:16,214 --> 00:04:25,473
♪♪♪
NOT SURE -- I KNOW WHAT THIS IS.
62
00:04:25,473 --> 00:04:26,265
THAT'S A HEART.
63
00:04:26,265 --> 00:04:27,934
THIS IS A HEART, AND THEY DO
THAT.
64
00:04:27,934 --> 00:04:28,267
I'VE MET THE GUYS.
65
00:04:28,267 --> 00:04:29,936
VERY NICE.
66
00:04:29,936 --> 00:04:30,603
LOVELY FELLAS.
67
00:04:30,603 --> 00:04:32,271
THEY DON'T DO THIS, THOUGH.
68
00:04:32,271 --> 00:04:33,398
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WAS DOING.
69
00:04:33,398 --> 00:04:36,442
BUT HERE'S THE THING --
HE MAKES A GOOD POINT.
70
00:04:36,442 --> 00:04:41,155
BIDEN, FOR SOME REASON, HELD
VERY FEW IN-PERSON RALLIES.
71
00:04:41,155 --> 00:04:44,659
BUT THE PRESIDENT'S EVENTS WERE
SO BIG THEY WENT VIRAL!
72
00:04:44,659 --> 00:04:47,787
NOW EVERYONE HAS MAGA FEVER!
73
00:04:47,787 --> 00:04:53,126
EVEN THOUGH THE PRESIDENT KNOWS
HE WON, HE ALSO KNEW EXACTLY HOW
74
00:04:53,126 --> 00:04:56,587
MUCH HE LOST:
>> THE CURRENT MARGIN IS ONLY
75
00:04:56,587 --> 00:05:00,842
11,779.
76
00:05:00,842 --> 00:05:07,306
SO, LOOK, ALL I WANT TO DO IS
THIS: I JUST WANT TO FIND 11,780
77
00:05:07,306 --> 00:05:09,517
VOTES, WHICH IS ONE MORE THAN WE
HAVE.
78
00:05:09,517 --> 00:05:12,812
>> Stephen: THAT'S ALL HE
WANTS.
79
00:05:12,812 --> 00:05:16,315
HE JUST WANTS
THEM TO "FIND" EXACTLY HOW
80
00:05:16,315 --> 00:05:20,653
MANY VOTES HE NEEDS TO WIN BY
ONE!
81
00:05:20,653 --> 00:05:21,821
NOTHING FISHY ABOUT THAT.
82
00:05:21,821 --> 00:05:26,993
WHO AMONG US HASN'T FOUND
SOMETHING IN AN OLD SUIT POCKET:
83
00:05:26,993 --> 00:05:30,997
"HEY, HONEY!
84
00:05:30,997 --> 00:05:32,165
WHIN'S THE LAST TIME I WORE THIS
SUIT?
85
00:05:32,165 --> 00:05:38,046
IT TURNS OUT I'M PRESIDENT!"
THE PRESIDENT GOT MORE DESPERATE
86
00:05:38,046 --> 00:05:39,255
FROM THERE:
>> SO, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO
87
00:05:39,255 --> 00:05:39,839
HERE FOLKS?
88
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:40,506
I ONLY NEED 11,000 VOTES.
89
00:05:40,506 --> 00:05:44,969
FELLAS, I NEED 11,000 VOTES.
90
00:05:44,969 --> 00:05:47,180
GIVE ME A BREAK.
91
00:05:47,180 --> 00:05:49,390
>> STEPHEN: OH, YOU'RE GETTING A
BREAK ON JANUARY 20!
92
00:05:49,390 --> 00:05:50,349
A LONG ONE!
93
00:05:50,349 --> 00:05:53,853
YOU'LL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO
FIND THE VOTES!
94
00:05:53,853 --> 00:05:56,856
MAYBE THEY'RE WITH BARACK
OBAMA'S LONG-FORM BIRTH
95
00:05:56,856 --> 00:05:58,316
CERTIFICATE.
96
00:05:58,316 --> 00:06:02,779
BUT THE PRESIDENT DID HAVE SOME
EVIDENCE: IF BY "SOME" YOU MEAN
97
00:06:02,779 --> 00:06:03,988
"NONE."
98
00:06:03,988 --> 00:06:06,574
>> DO YOU THINK IT'S POSSIBLE
THAT THEY SHREDDED BALLOTS IN
99
00:06:06,574 --> 00:06:07,366
FULTON COUNTY?
100
00:06:07,366 --> 00:06:10,703
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE RUMOR
IS.
101
00:06:10,703 --> 00:06:12,914
>> STEPHEN: SO, THE
COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE UNITED
102
00:06:12,914 --> 00:06:14,707
STATES, A MAN WHO HAS THE
WORLD'S GREATEST
103
00:06:14,707 --> 00:06:18,711
INTELLIGENCE APPARATUS AT HIS
DISPOSAL, IS NOW JUST CALLING UP
104
00:06:18,711 --> 00:06:21,714
TO GAB ABOUT RUMORS.
105
00:06:21,714 --> 00:06:24,383
THAT EXPLAINS THE NEW
PRESIDENTIAL COMMISSION
106
00:06:24,383 --> 00:06:26,761
INVESTIGATING "IF YOU EAT POP
ROCKS AND SODA, DOES YOUR
107
00:06:26,761 --> 00:06:28,596
TUMMY EXPLODE?"
IT DOES.
108
00:06:28,596 --> 00:06:30,264
IT DOES.
109
00:06:30,264 --> 00:06:33,935
DON'T DO IT, KIDS.
110
00:06:33,935 --> 00:06:34,227
DON'T.
111
00:06:34,227 --> 00:06:35,269
DON'T.
112
00:06:35,269 --> 00:06:36,395
THE PRESIDENT ALSO HAD A
CONSPIRACY THEORY ABOUT THE
113
00:06:36,395 --> 00:06:38,731
VOTING MACHINES USED IN GEORGIA
MADE BY A COMPANY NAMED
114
00:06:38,731 --> 00:06:40,233
"DOMINION."
115
00:06:40,233 --> 00:06:41,484
>> THAT'S WHAT THE RUMOR IS.
116
00:06:41,484 --> 00:06:46,239
AND ALSO THAT DOMINION TOOK OUT
MACHINES.
117
00:06:46,239 --> 00:06:50,743
THAT DOMINION IS REALLY MOVING
FAST TO GET RID OF THEIR, UH,
118
00:06:50,743 --> 00:06:52,245
MACHINERY.
119
00:06:52,245 --> 00:06:54,872
DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT?
120
00:06:54,872 --> 00:06:58,251
BECAUSE THAT'S ILLEGAL, RIGHT?
121
00:06:58,251 --> 00:06:59,460
>> THIS IS RYAN GERMANY.
122
00:06:59,460 --> 00:07:04,757
NO, DOMINION HAS NOT MOVED ANY
MACHINERY OUT OF FULTON COUNTY.
123
00:07:04,757 --> 00:07:07,093
>> BUT HAVE THEY MOVED THE INNER
PARTS OF THE MACHINES AND
124
00:07:07,093 --> 00:07:10,304
REPLACED THEM WITH OTHER PARTS?
125
00:07:10,304 --> 00:07:14,559
>> NO.
126
00:07:14,559 --> 00:07:16,352
>> STEPHEN: IF HE WANTS TO STEAL
AN ELECTION, HE REALLY NEEDS TO
127
00:07:16,352 --> 00:07:21,774
SOUND LESS LIKE YOUR GRANDPA
COMPLAINING ABOUT HIS PHONE.
128
00:07:21,774 --> 00:07:23,484
"THERE USED TO BE A BUTTON ON
THE BOTTOM, NOW IT USES MY FACE.
129
00:07:23,484 --> 00:07:27,655
WHAT DID THEY DO WITH THE
BUTTON?
130
00:07:27,655 --> 00:07:28,781
DID THEY HIDE IT WITH THE
BALLOTS INSIDE THOSE VOTING
131
00:07:28,781 --> 00:07:30,658
MACHINES?"
GOD, I HOPE THEY DON'T HIDE MY
132
00:07:30,658 --> 00:07:34,078
FACE.
133
00:07:34,078 --> 00:07:37,623
NOW, THE PRESIDENT ALSO RE-UPPED
THE THEORY THAT DEAD PEOPLE
134
00:07:37,623 --> 00:07:42,962
VOTED, AND RAFFENSPERGER HIT HIM
WITH A REAL-TIME FACT CHECK:
135
00:07:42,962 --> 00:07:44,630
>> THE OTHER THING, DEAD PEOPLE.
136
00:07:44,630 --> 00:07:51,470
SO, DEAD PEOPLE VOTED, AND I
THINK THE NUMBER IS CLOSE TO
137
00:07:51,470 --> 00:07:52,138
5,000 PEOPLE.
138
00:07:52,138 --> 00:07:54,307
>> THE ACTUAL NUMBER WERE
TWO.
139
00:07:54,307 --> 00:07:55,099
TWO.
140
00:07:55,099 --> 00:07:58,769
TWO PEOPLE THAT WERE DEAD THAT
VOTED.
141
00:07:58,769 --> 00:07:59,770
SO, THAT'S WRONG.
142
00:07:59,770 --> 00:08:06,444
>> STEPHEN: YEAH, THAT'S A
PRETTY BIG DIFFERENCE.
143
00:08:06,444 --> 00:08:10,406
IMAGINE IF "THE SIXTH SENSE"
WENT LIKE THIS:
144
00:08:10,406 --> 00:08:17,455
>> I SEE DEAD PEOPLE-- BUT JUST
TWO!
145
00:08:17,455 --> 00:08:19,665
>> STEPHEN: RAFFENSPERGER ALSO
CAUTIONED THE PRESIDENT NOT TO
146
00:08:19,665 --> 00:08:23,336
BELIEVE EVERYTHING HE READS ON
THE INTERNET:
147
00:08:23,336 --> 00:08:27,006
>> MR. PRESIDENT, THE PROBLEM
YOU HAVE WITH SOCIAL MEDIA,
148
00:08:27,006 --> 00:08:27,882
THEY-- PEOPLE CAN SAY ANYTHING.
149
00:08:27,882 --> 00:08:29,383
>> OH, THIS ISN'T SOCIAL MEDIA.
150
00:08:29,383 --> 00:08:31,886
THIS IS TRUMP MEDIA.
151
00:08:31,886 --> 00:08:33,804
>> STEPHEN: YEAH, HE'S NOT
GETTING IT FROM SOCIAL MEDIA!
152
00:08:33,804 --> 00:08:39,894
HE'S GETTING IT FROM RELIABLE
SOURCES, LIKE
153
00:08:39,894 --> 00:08:45,691
EAGLE-FLUFFER69@PARLER.BIZ!
154
00:08:45,691 --> 00:08:49,654
EAGLE FLUFFER HAS SOME SHOCKING
REVELATIONS.
155
00:08:49,654 --> 00:08:52,698
( LAUGHTER )
BECAUSE RAFFENSPERGER SEEMED
156
00:08:52,698 --> 00:08:55,701
HESITANT TO UNDERMINE DEMOCRACY,
THE PRESIDENT GAVE HIM SOME P.R.
157
00:08:55,701 --> 00:08:56,827
ADVICE.
158
00:08:56,827 --> 00:09:02,041
>> THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH
SAYING, YOU KNOW, UM, THAT
159
00:09:02,041 --> 00:09:07,380
YOU'VE RECALCULATED.
160
00:09:07,380 --> 00:09:09,674
>> STEPHEN: YES, STEALING AND
RECALCULATING ARE TOTALLY
161
00:09:09,674 --> 00:09:10,549
DIFFERENT!
162
00:09:10,549 --> 00:09:12,218
JUST LIKE THAT SCENE IN "PULP
FICTION!"
163
00:09:12,218 --> 00:09:16,931
>> EVERYBODY BE COOL, THIS IS A
RECALCULATION.
164
00:09:16,931 --> 00:09:21,102
>> STEPHEN: AT ONE POINT, THE
PRESIDENT GOT SO DESPERATE
165
00:09:21,102 --> 00:09:23,729
HE EVEN RESORTED TO FLATTERY
WITH RAFFENSPERGER'S LAWYER,
166
00:09:23,729 --> 00:09:26,816
RYAN GERMANY.
167
00:09:26,816 --> 00:09:28,067
>> WHY DON'T YOU WANT TO FIND
THIS, RYAN?
168
00:09:28,067 --> 00:09:30,361
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?
169
00:09:30,361 --> 00:09:32,905
I HEARD YOUR LAWYER IS VERY
DIFFICULT, ACTUALLY, BUT I'M
170
00:09:32,905 --> 00:09:33,739
SURE YOU'RE A GOOD LAWYER.
171
00:09:33,739 --> 00:09:35,741
YOU HAVE A NICE LAST NAME.
172
00:09:35,741 --> 00:09:39,078
>> STEPHEN: FIRST OF ALL, I'LL
REMIND YOU, THE GUY'S NAME IS
173
00:09:39,078 --> 00:09:40,079
"GERMANY."
174
00:09:40,079 --> 00:09:41,205
THE PRESIDENT, OF COURSE, IS A
BIG FAN OF GERMANY.
175
00:09:41,205 --> 00:09:45,418
HE BELIEVES THERE WERE VERY FINE
LAWYERS ON BOTH SIDES.
176
00:09:45,418 --> 00:09:49,922
SECONDLY, HE EVIDENTLY THINKS
YOU'RE GOOD AT YOUR JOB IF YOUR
177
00:09:49,922 --> 00:09:51,132
NAME IS SOMETHING HE LIKES.
178
00:09:51,132 --> 00:09:55,261
EXPLAINS WHY HIS NEW PHYSICIAN
IS DR. ONIONRINGS MCJIGGLEJUGGZ,
179
00:09:55,261 --> 00:09:57,638
M. DOUBLE-D.
180
00:09:57,638 --> 00:10:04,061
THROUGHOUT THE CALL,
RAFFENSPERGER AND GERMANY WERE
181
00:10:04,061 --> 00:10:07,106
EXTREMELY PATIENT WITH THE SAD
LOSER.
182
00:10:07,106 --> 00:10:09,650
AT ONE POINT, GERMANY TRIED TO
EXPLAIN THAT PEOPLE WHO HAD
183
00:10:09,650 --> 00:10:14,739
MOVED OUT OF GEORGIA WERE, IN
FACT, LEGALLY VOTING IN THE
184
00:10:14,739 --> 00:10:15,823
STATE, FOR A VERY SIMPLE REASON:
>> EVERY ONE WE'VE BEEN THROUGH
185
00:10:15,823 --> 00:10:20,953
ARE PEOPLE THAT LIVED IN
GEORGIA, MOVED TO A DIFFERENT
186
00:10:20,953 --> 00:10:21,912
STATE, BUT THEN MOVED BACK
TO GEORGIA LEGITIMATELY.
187
00:10:21,912 --> 00:10:25,958
AND IN MANY CASES--
>> HOW MAY PEOPLE DO THAT?
188
00:10:25,958 --> 00:10:27,293
THEY MOVED OUT, AND THEN THEY
SAID, "AH, TO HELL WITH IT, I'LL
189
00:10:27,293 --> 00:10:28,502
MOVE BACK."
190
00:10:28,502 --> 00:10:32,757
YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE
A VERY NORMAL-- YOU MEAN, THEY
191
00:10:32,757 --> 00:10:35,843
MOVED OUT, AND WHAT, THEY
MISSED IT SO MUCH THAT THEY
192
00:10:35,843 --> 00:10:39,555
WANTED TO MOVE BACK IN?
193
00:10:39,555 --> 00:10:40,181
IT'S CRAZY.
194
00:10:40,181 --> 00:10:41,557
>> STEPHEN: IT'S NOT CRAZY.
195
00:10:41,557 --> 00:10:44,018
IT'S VERY NICE THERE!
196
00:10:44,018 --> 00:10:46,103
PEOPLE GO BACK TO GEORGIA.
197
00:10:46,103 --> 00:10:47,980
IN FACT, THEY'RE KIND OF KNOWN
FOR IT!
198
00:10:47,980 --> 00:10:52,526
OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, I CAN
THINK OF AT LEAST THREE SONGS
199
00:10:52,526 --> 00:10:56,113
ABOUT PEOPLE MOVING BACK TO
GEORGIA: "GEORGIA ON MY MIND,"
200
00:10:56,113 --> 00:10:59,533
"MIDNIGHT TRAIN TO GEORGIA," AND
"WALKIN' BACK TO GEORGIA."
201
00:10:59,533 --> 00:11:00,034
HE DIDN'T WAIT FOR THE TRAIN.
202
00:11:00,034 --> 00:11:02,787
HE WALKED!
203
00:11:02,787 --> 00:11:05,664
THAT'S NOT EVEN MENTIONING "THE
DEVIL WENT DOWN TO GEORGIA."
204
00:11:05,664 --> 00:11:09,835
AND I'M SURE YOU'RE SAYING,
"STEPHEN, SURE, THE DEVIL WENT
205
00:11:09,835 --> 00:11:11,629
DOWN TO GEORGIA, BUT HE DIDN'T
COME BACK TO GEORGIA."
206
00:11:11,629 --> 00:11:15,508
OH, REALLY?
207
00:11:15,508 --> 00:11:18,511
TELL THAT TO THE ACTUAL 1993
SEQUEL, FEATURING CHARLIE
208
00:11:18,511 --> 00:11:22,431
DANIELS, "THE DEVIL COMES BACK
TO GEORGIA."
209
00:11:22,431 --> 00:11:25,142
HE MOVED BACK TO SAVANNAH SO HE
COULD VOTE FOR BIDEN.
210
00:11:25,142 --> 00:11:26,852
YEAH, HE'S THE PRINCE OF
DARKNESS, BUT HE'S VERY
211
00:11:26,852 --> 00:11:29,980
CONCERNED ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING.
212
00:11:29,980 --> 00:11:31,982
IF THE EARTH'S ALREADY ON FIRE
HELL IS NOT GOING TO SEEM THAT
213
00:11:31,982 --> 00:11:35,277
IMPRESSIVE.
214
00:11:35,277 --> 00:11:38,823
WHEN THE PRESIDENT'S CHARM
DIDN'T MOVE RAFFENSPERGER, HE
215
00:11:38,823 --> 00:11:41,033
SWITCHED TO EXTORTION
THREATENING GEORGIA'S SECRETARY
216
00:11:41,033 --> 00:11:46,372
OF STATE WITH PROSECUTION IF HE
AND HIS LAWYER DIDN'T GIVE IN:
217
00:11:46,372 --> 00:11:49,917
>> YOU KNOW WHAT THEY DID AND
YOU'RE NOT REPORTING IT.
218
00:11:49,917 --> 00:11:54,213
THAT'S A-- THAT'S A CRIMINAL
OFFENSE.
219
00:11:54,213 --> 00:11:56,882
AND, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T LET
THAT HAPPEN.
220
00:11:56,882 --> 00:11:59,844
THAT'S A BIG RISK TO YOU AND TO
RYAN, YOUR LAWYER.
221
00:11:59,844 --> 00:12:00,553
THAT'S A BIG RISK.
222
00:12:00,553 --> 00:12:02,721
>> STEPHEN: THAT IS A BIG RISK.
223
00:12:02,721 --> 00:12:08,561
YOU COULD END UP BEING THE
PRESIDENT'S CELLMATE.
224
00:12:08,561 --> 00:12:11,897
BECAUSE THIS CALL IS PROBABLY
ILLEGAL.
225
00:12:11,897 --> 00:12:15,943
A FORMER JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
INSPECTOR GENERAL TWEETED,
226
00:12:15,943 --> 00:12:17,903
"UNLESS THERE ARE PORTIONS OF
THE TAPE THAT SOMEHOW NEGATE
227
00:12:17,903 --> 00:12:21,907
CRIMINAL INTENT, 'I JUST WANT
TO FIND 11,780 VOTES' AND HIS
228
00:12:21,907 --> 00:12:28,581
THREATS AGAINST RAFFENSPERGER
AND HIS COUNSEL VIOLATE 52 U.S.
229
00:12:28,581 --> 00:12:30,750
CODE 20511."
230
00:12:30,750 --> 00:12:34,962
ADDING, "HIS BEST DEFENSE WOULD
BE INSANITY."
231
00:12:34,962 --> 00:12:36,088
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.
232
00:12:36,088 --> 00:12:41,927
MAY I PRESENT EXHIBIT A:
>> PERSON, WOMAN, MAN, CAMERA,
233
00:12:41,927 --> 00:12:44,597
TV.
234
00:12:44,597 --> 00:12:47,933
>> STEPHEN: PERFECTLY SANE.
235
00:12:47,933 --> 00:12:50,436
SO, POTUS IS DESPERATE TO HOLD
ON TO HIS JOB, WHICH IS-- I'M
236
00:12:50,436 --> 00:12:51,270
NOT SURE EXACTLY.
237
00:12:51,270 --> 00:12:53,898
IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE HE'S
DONE IT.
238
00:12:53,898 --> 00:12:56,650
TODAY HIS ACTUAL PUBLIC SCHEDULE
READS, "THE PRESIDENT WILL WORK
239
00:12:56,650 --> 00:12:59,069
FROM EARLY IN THE MORNING UNTIL
LATE IN THE EVENING.
240
00:12:59,069 --> 00:13:03,115
HE WILL MAKE MANY CALLS AND HAVE
MANY MEETINGS."
241
00:13:03,115 --> 00:13:05,910
THAT READS LIKE WHAT A TODDLER
THINKS THE PRESIDENT DOES.
242
00:13:05,910 --> 00:13:06,994
"TUESDAY, JANUARY 5.
243
00:13:06,994 --> 00:13:13,334
I WILL MAKE MANY CALLS AND
MEETINGS, WEAR A DADDY SUIT
244
00:13:13,334 --> 00:13:17,922
USE THE BIG BOY POTTY-- TWICE--
I AM SMART AND STRONG AND HAVE
245
00:13:17,922 --> 00:13:25,596
THE NUCLEAR CODES."
246
00:13:25,596 --> 00:13:26,972
LISTENING TO THIS CALL REALLY
MAKES YOU FEEL FOR GUYS ON THE
247
00:13:26,972 --> 00:13:29,308
RECEIVING END.
248
00:13:29,308 --> 00:13:32,019
I'M GUESSING HE KNEW WHAT WAS
COMING BECAUSE BEFORE THEY
249
00:13:32,019 --> 00:13:35,105
FINALLY CONNECTED ON SATURDAY
THE WHITE HOUSE MADE 18 ATTEMPTS
250
00:13:35,105 --> 00:13:38,984
TO CALL HIM.
251
00:13:38,984 --> 00:13:42,863
"A LATE SHOW" HAS REQUIRED AUDIO
OF THE PRESIDENT'S FIRST 17
252
00:13:42,863 --> 00:13:43,697

00:17:56,241 --> 00:17:57,242
COULD YOU CHARACTERIZE THE
LAUGH?
333
00:17:57,242 --> 00:18:06,418
IS IT A GIGGLE, MORE LIKE A --
( MANIACAL LAUGH )
334
00:18:06,418 --> 00:18:08,212
-- WITH THE FLY HANDS.
335
00:18:08,212 --> 00:18:10,923
HOW ARE YOU LAUGHING AT THEM?
336
00:18:10,923 --> 00:18:12,591
>> HYMN THINKING ABOUT THEM.
337
00:18:12,591 --> 00:18:16,095
I'M FOCUSING ON WINNING THE
ELECTION.
338
00:18:16,095 --> 00:18:16,595
THEY ARE NOT MY ISSUE.
339
00:18:16,595 --> 00:18:17,805
>> Stephen: BOOM!
340
00:18:17,805 --> 00:18:20,098
VERY QUICKLY, WHAT DO YOU THINK
OF THE PRESIDENT PUTTING THE
341
00:18:20,098 --> 00:18:22,935
PRESSURE ON RAFFENSPERGER?
342
00:18:22,935 --> 00:18:27,105
WERE YOU SHOCKED TO HEAR AT OR
IS THIS PAR FOR THE COURSE?
343
00:18:27,105 --> 00:18:28,232
>> NOT AT ALL.
344
00:18:28,232 --> 00:18:31,235
THIS IS A PERSON WHO HAS
DEMONSTRATED ABSOLUTELY NO, YOU
345
00:18:31,235 --> 00:18:34,780
KNOW, GRASP OF THE AWE GUSTNESS
OF HIS OFFICE OR THE CONTOURS OF
346
00:18:34,780 --> 00:18:43,664
THE LAW, BUT I WILL SAY
LEON-IZING BRAD RAFFENSPERGER IS
347
00:18:43,664 --> 00:18:44,623
NOT IT.
348
00:18:44,623 --> 00:18:46,792
HE'S DEFENDING THE ELECTION HE
RAN.
349
00:18:46,792 --> 00:18:50,462
AT THE EXACT SAME MOMENT HE'S
PUSHING ON TRUMP, HE'S WORKING
350
00:18:50,462 --> 00:18:54,925
HAND IN HAND WITH REPUBLICANS TO
PUT TOGETHER A LIST OF WAYS TO
351
00:18:54,925 --> 00:18:57,845
CONSTRAIN THE RIGHT TO VOTE
STARTING WITH THE NEXT ELECTION.
352
00:18:57,845 --> 00:19:01,306
I DON'T WANT PEOPLE BE
DISTRACTED BY HIS ATTEMPT TO NOT
353
00:19:01,306 --> 00:19:07,396
BECOME A LAUGHING STOCK BASED ON
WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM IN JUNE, WE
354
00:19:07,396 --> 00:19:09,898
SHOULDN'T MISTAKE HIM FOR A
VOTING RIGHTS CHAMPION.
355
00:19:09,898 --> 00:19:11,108
HE'S NOT.
356
00:19:11,108 --> 00:19:15,654
BUT A BROKEN CLOCK IS RIGHT
TWICE A DAY, AND HE'S DEFENDING
357
00:19:15,654 --> 00:19:19,324
THE RESULT BECAUSE THE ELECTION
RESULT IS THE RIGHT RESULT.
358
00:19:19,324 --> 00:19:22,536
>> Stephen: IS IT HARD FOR YOU
TO ACCEPT THAT YOU AND DONALD
359
00:19:22,536 --> 00:19:24,329
TRUMP AGREE ABOUT ANYTHING?
360
00:19:24,329 --> 00:19:27,541
BECAUSE, EVIDENTLY, BOTH OF YOU
DON'T THINK BRIAN KEMP SHOULD BE
361
00:19:27,541 --> 00:19:29,877
THE GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA.
362
00:19:29,877 --> 00:19:32,671
>> AGAIN, BROKEN CLOCKS AND
OCCASIONAL CORRECTNESS.
363
00:19:32,671 --> 00:19:35,340
I TRY NOT TO THINK ABOUT THAT
TOO CLOSELY BECAUSE I DON'T WANT
364
00:19:35,340 --> 00:19:40,387
TO HAVE TO REEXAMINE MY LIFE'S
GOALS AND MISSION.
365
00:19:40,387 --> 00:19:44,349
>> NOW, WHEN IT COMES TO THE
CURRENT SECRETARY OF STATE,
366
00:19:44,349 --> 00:19:48,478
RAFFENSPERGER DOWN IN GEORGIA,
AS YOU SAID, DON'T LIONIZE HIM.
367
00:19:48,478 --> 00:19:54,484
THIS IS BUTT COVERING FOR HIM,
IS HOW I CHARACTERIZE YOU
368
00:19:54,484 --> 00:19:57,362
CHARACTERIZING IT AND STOP ME IF
YOU WANT, BUT SINCE HE IS IN
369
00:19:57,362 --> 00:20:02,034
CHARGE OF THE ELECTIONS, WHAT
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR HIM TO DO OR
370
00:20:02,034 --> 00:20:04,244
WHAT SHOULD WE KEEP OUR EYE ON
AS VOTES ARE COUNTED FROM
371
00:20:04,244 --> 00:20:05,495
TOMORROW'S ELECTION?
372
00:20:05,495 --> 00:20:09,374
>> WELL, FIRST, WE NEED TO MAKE
CERTAIN THAT THE PROCESS WORKS
373
00:20:09,374 --> 00:20:10,334
SMOOTHLY.
374
00:20:10,334 --> 00:20:12,294
SADLY, BECAUSE TO HAVE THE
PROPAGANDA AND THE
375
00:20:12,294 --> 00:20:15,380
MISINFORMATION, WE ARE CONCERNED
ABOUT ELECTION WORKERS.
376
00:20:15,380 --> 00:20:16,590
WE WANT THEM TO BE SAFE.
377
00:20:16,590 --> 00:20:20,886
WE WANT THEM TO BE ABLE TO DO
THEIR JOBS AND, HOPEFULLY, HE IS
378
00:20:20,886 --> 00:20:25,223
GOING TO WORK AS HARD AS THE
REST OF US ARE TO MAKE SURE THEY
379
00:20:25,223 --> 00:20:29,061
THEYHAVE ACCESS TO THE SUPPORT T
NEED.
380
00:20:29,061 --> 00:20:33,231
BUT WE KNOW IT TAKES TIME TO
COUNT BALLOTS.
381
00:20:33,231 --> 00:20:38,028
WE HAVE 4.2 MILLION CAST BALLOTS
ALREADY AND THE NUMBERS REFLECT
382
00:20:38,028 --> 00:20:40,405
AN EXCITEMENT THAT'S NEVER BEEN
SEEN IN A RUNOFF.
383
00:20:40,405 --> 00:20:44,534
WE NEED TO BE PATIENT AND WE
NEED TO KNOW WE MAY NOT HAVE THE
384
00:20:44,534 --> 00:20:46,370
ANSWER TILL WEDNESDAY OR
THURSDAY.
385
00:20:46,370 --> 00:20:48,205
HOPEFULLY, WE'LL HAVE IT BEFORE
NEXT NOVEMBER, BUT WE SHOULD
386
00:20:48,205 --> 00:20:51,750
HAVE AN ANSWER PRETTY QUICKLY,
BUT WE SHOULD BE PATIENT WITH
387
00:20:51,750 --> 00:20:52,834
THE PROCESS.
388
00:20:52,834 --> 00:20:56,755
>> Stephen: THAT 3.2 MILLION
PEOPLE WHO VOTED EARLY IN
389
00:20:56,755 --> 00:21:01,259
GEORGIA, HOW DOES THAT TURN OUT
TO THE TURNOUT IN THE GENERAL
390
00:21:01,259 --> 00:21:02,427
ELECTION.
391
00:21:02,427 --> 00:21:04,638
GENERAL ELECTION HAS A TOTAL
TURN OUT OF 5 MILLION PEOPLE AND
392
00:21:04,638 --> 00:21:08,308
IT'S UNUSUAL FOR A RUNOFF
ELECTION TO COME CLOSE.
393
00:21:08,308 --> 00:21:14,398
THE LAST ELECTION OFTEN WAS
2.8 MILLION PEOPLE IN 2008, SO
394
00:21:14,398 --> 00:21:15,607
WE'VE SMASHED THOSE RECORDS.
395
00:21:15,607 --> 00:21:23,782
WHAT'S MORE EXCITING, OF THE
MILLIONS WHO VOTED, 112,000 ARE
396
00:21:23,782 --> 00:21:26,451
PEOPLE WHO DID NOT VOTE IN
NOVEMBER BUT DECIDED TO VOTE IN
397
00:21:26,451 --> 00:21:29,413
THIS ELECTION, 40% ARE
AFRICAN-AMERICAN, AND
398
00:21:29,413 --> 00:21:32,582
AFRICAN-AMERICANS ONLY COMPRISE
ABOUT 30% OF THE REGISTERED
399
00:21:32,582 --> 00:21:33,792
VOTERS.
400
00:21:33,792 --> 00:21:38,296
BUT 20% ARE UNDER THE AGE OF 29,
THEY'RE 18 TO 29, AND THEY'RE
401
00:21:38,296 --> 00:21:40,132
ONLY 12% OF THE ELECTORATE.
402
00:21:40,132 --> 00:21:42,342
THAT MEANS PEOPLE UNDERSTAND
WHAT'S AT STAKE AND THEY WANT TO
403
00:21:42,342 --> 00:21:43,552
BE HEARD.
404
00:21:43,552 --> 00:21:45,429
>> Stephen: NOW, IN NOVEMBER,
YOU TOLD ME THE SENATE RUNOFF
405
00:21:45,429 --> 00:21:49,474
STRATEGY WAS "TO RAISE ALL THE
MONEY WE CAN AS FAST AS WE CAN."
406
00:21:49,474 --> 00:21:52,019
HOW DID THAT GO?
407
00:21:52,019 --> 00:21:52,519
>> YES.
408
00:21:52,519 --> 00:21:53,979
IT WENT REALLY WELL.
409
00:21:53,979 --> 00:21:56,148
WE WERE PRETTY GOOD AT IT.
410
00:21:56,148 --> 00:22:01,111
THERE'S A LOT OF INVESTMENT --
>> Stephen: BY REALLY GOOD AT
411
00:22:01,111 --> 00:22:06,324
IT, I UNDERSTAND IT'S OVER
$100 MILLION FOR EACH OF THE TWO
412
00:22:06,324 --> 00:22:07,492
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES.
413
00:22:07,492 --> 00:22:10,662
>> YES, AND MY ORGANIZATION
"FAIR FIGHT" WAS ABLE TO RAISE
414
00:22:10,662 --> 00:22:14,291
ENOUGH MONEY THAT WE WERE ABLE
TO SHARE MORE THAN $25 MILLION
415
00:22:14,291 --> 00:22:15,625
WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO MAKE
CERTAIN THAT THEY HAD THE
416
00:22:15,625 --> 00:22:20,672
RESOURCES THEY NEEDED TO SUPPORT
TURNING OUT VOTERS.
417
00:22:20,672 --> 00:22:24,801
>> Stephen: HOW ARE YOU
FEELING ABOUT TOMORROW'S
418
00:22:24,801 --> 00:22:25,510
ELECTION?
419
00:22:25,510 --> 00:22:27,846
WHAT DO YOU THINK THE ODDS ARE?
420
00:22:27,846 --> 00:22:33,518
>> IF I KNEW ODDS-MAKING I WOULD
BE IN LAS VEGAS.
421
00:22:33,518 --> 00:22:36,063
UNFORTUNATELY I DO POLITICS
INSTEAD.
422
00:22:36,063 --> 00:22:38,231
BUT WE'VE SEEN INCREDIBLE
TURNOUT FROM DEMOCRATS ACROSS
423
00:22:38,231 --> 00:22:39,316
THE STATE.
424
00:22:39,316 --> 00:22:41,985
WE HAVE SEEN A DIVERSE
ELECTORATE, THE LIKES OF WHICH
425
00:22:41,985 --> 00:22:44,529
WE HAVEN'T SEEN IN A RUNOFF, AND
WE'RE ENERGIZED.
426
00:22:44,529 --> 00:22:49,826
I WAS AT THE BIDEN RALLY TODAY,
AND THE ENERGY IS EXTRAORDINARY,
427
00:22:49,826 --> 00:22:52,579
BUT I WAS ALSO IN SMALL COUNTIES
AROUND THE STATE.
428
00:22:52,579 --> 00:22:58,418
PEOPLE WANT COVID RELIEF, THEY
WANT GOOD JOBS, THEY WANT ACCESS
429
00:22:58,418 --> 00:23:07,552
TO JUSTICE, AND THEY WANT JOE
BIDEN TO HAVE A PARTNER, NOT AN
430
00:23:07,552 --> 00:23:12,557
OBSTRUCTIONIST, AND THEY NEED
KAMALA HARRIS TO BE
431
00:23:12,557 --> 00:23:16,895
VICE PRESIDENT AND GET A TIE
BREAKING VOTE.
432
00:23:16,895 --> 00:23:19,189
I PUT MY ONE ON BLUE.
433
00:23:19,189 --> 00:23:20,899
>> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A
QUICKBREAK BUT WHEN WE COME BACK
434
00:23:20,899 --> 00:23:24,778
I'LL ASK MS. ABRAMS IF SHE HAS
ANY PLANS TO RUN FOR OFFICE
435
00:23:24,778 --> 00:23:25,570
AGAIN PERHAPS IN GEORGIA,
PERHAPS FOR GOVERNOR IN TWO
436
00:23:25,570 --> 00:23:25,987
YEARS.
437
00:23:25,987 --> 00:23:28,865
STICK AROUND.
438
00:23:39,626 --> 00:23:42,462
♪♪♪
>> STEPHEN: WE'RE BACK WITH
439
00:23:42,462 --> 00:23:43,964
STACEY ABRAMS.
440
00:23:43,964 --> 00:23:45,674
ON THE EVE OF THE GEORGIA
ELECTION.
441
00:23:45,674 --> 00:23:50,554
ONCE THIS ELECTION IS OVER,
WHAT'S NEXT?
442
00:23:50,554 --> 00:24:06,278
IS THE SUCCESS THAT Y'ALL HAVE
HAD IN GEORGI GEORGIA REPLICABLE
443
00:24:06,278 --> 00:24:07,404
OTHER STATES?
444
00:24:07,404 --> 00:24:10,782
>> WE HAVE THE MOST DIVERSE
ELECTORATE IN GEORGIA WITH A
445
00:24:10,782 --> 00:24:15,120
HIGH CONCENTRATION NOT ONLY OF
AFRICAN-AMERICAN VOTERS BUT
446
00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:16,580
LATINA AND ASIAN VOTERS.
447
00:24:16,580 --> 00:24:19,958
WHAT WE SAW IN ARIZONA IS
SOMETHING THAT COULD HAPPEN
448
00:24:19,958 --> 00:24:20,792
ACROSS THE SUN BELT.
449
00:24:20,792 --> 00:24:24,129
IT WON'T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT.
450
00:24:24,129 --> 00:24:27,465
DEMOGRAPHY SEEMS TO PRECEDE
ELECTORAL CHANGES, BUT I BELIEVE
451
00:24:27,465 --> 00:24:29,759
IT'S POSSIBLE TO BUILD THE
INFRASTRUCTURE WE'VE BUILT IN
452
00:24:29,759 --> 00:24:32,846
GEORGIA AND OTHER STATES AND
ENGAGE VOTERS WHO ARE LEFT OUT
453
00:24:32,846 --> 00:24:37,309
OF THE PROCESS IN OTHER STATES
AND IT'S POSSIBLE FOR US TO WIN
454
00:24:37,309 --> 00:24:41,146
IN OTHER STATES AS WE INVEST IN,
ORGANIZE AND MOBILIZE OUR
455
00:24:41,146 --> 00:24:42,314
VOTERS.
456
00:24:42,314 --> 00:24:43,982
>> Stephen: YOU'VE SPENT THE
LAST COUPLE OF YEARS THROWING
457
00:24:43,982 --> 00:24:47,444
ALL YOUR FOCUS AT MOBILIZING
VOTERS AND HELPING OTHER
458
00:24:47,444 --> 00:24:48,153
CANDIDATES.
459
00:24:48,153 --> 00:24:49,279
WHAT'S NEXT FOR YOU?
460
00:24:49,279 --> 00:24:52,949
ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE ANOTHER
RUN AT GOVERNOR IN 2022?
461
00:24:52,949 --> 00:24:56,453
>> I AM FOCUSED ON JANUA
JANUARY 5th, THAT IS WHERE I'M
462
00:24:56,453 --> 00:24:59,539
LOOKING AND NOT LOOKING ANY
FURTHER AHEAD BECAUSE WHAT WE DO
463
00:24:59,539 --> 00:25:01,833
NEXT REALLY DEPENDS ON WHAT WE
CAN ACCOMPLISH IN THIS RACE.
464
00:25:01,833 --> 00:25:04,127
>> Stephen: LET ME LOOK AHEAD
FOR YOU.
465
00:25:04,127 --> 00:25:09,674
OH, PAST JANUARY 5th, THERE'S
AN ELECTION IN 2022.
466
00:25:09,674 --> 00:25:11,218
DO YOU HAVE ANY INTEREST IN
THAT.
467
00:25:11,218 --> 00:25:13,136
>> I'M SORRY, I CAN'T SEE THAT
FAR.
468
00:25:13,136 --> 00:25:14,346
I DON'T HAVE MY GLASSES ON.
469
00:25:14,346 --> 00:25:16,890
>> Stephen: WANT TO USE MINE?
470
00:25:16,890 --> 00:25:17,849
THERE YOU GO.
471
00:25:17,849 --> 00:25:18,225
THERE YOU GO.
472
00:25:18,225 --> 00:25:20,519
THAT'S A YES.
473
00:25:20,519 --> 00:25:21,311
THAT'S A YES.
474
00:25:21,311 --> 00:25:23,355
I'LL MARK YOU DOWN FOR YES.
475
00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:24,606
THERE YOU GO.
476
00:25:24,606 --> 00:25:28,818
NOW, I KNOW THAT "STAR TREK" IS
A CULTURAL HOME FOR YOU, IT IS
477
00:25:28,818 --> 00:25:32,489
FOR ME AS WELL.
478
00:25:32,489 --> 00:25:36,868
NOTHING AGAINST "STAR WARS," BUT
THIS "STAR TREK" WAS THE
479
00:25:36,868 --> 00:25:37,702
ORIGINAL FOR ME.
480
00:25:37,702 --> 00:25:39,079
IS THERE ANY STORY?
481
00:25:39,079 --> 00:25:43,708
IS THERE ANY LESSON FROM
"TAR TREK" THAT YOU COULD DRAW
482
00:25:43,708 --> 00:25:44,834
FROM RIGHT NOW?
483
00:25:44,834 --> 00:25:50,548
>> SO I'M DRAWING FROM THE
SERIES "STAR TREK" VOYAGER.
484
00:25:50,548 --> 00:25:54,678
IT WAS A SHIP ON A MISSION, THEY
GOT THROWN OFF COURSE AND WERE
485
00:25:54,678 --> 00:25:56,721
TOLD IT WILL TAKE 75 YEARS TO
REACH THEIR GOAL.
486
00:25:56,721 --> 00:25:58,974
THEY GOT THERE IN SEVEN.
487
00:25:58,974 --> 00:26:00,058
I LIKE THE ODDS.
488
00:26:00,058 --> 00:26:00,892
>> Stephen: WOW.
489
00:26:00,892 --> 00:26:04,980
IS THAT CAMPAIGN JANE WAY.
490
00:26:04,980 --> 00:26:11,069
>> THAT IS CAPTAIN JAN WAY, YES.
491
00:26:11,069 --> 00:26:12,946
DEEP CUT CAPTAIN JAN WAY.
492
00:26:12,946 --> 00:26:15,740
NOT EVERYBODY CAN DO THAT.
493
00:26:15,740 --> 00:26:16,908
>> VERY IMPRESSIVE.
494
00:26:16,908 --> 00:26:21,454
>> Stephen: ONE OF THE THINGS
THE PRESIDENT TALKS ABOUT IN
495
00:26:21,454 --> 00:26:25,083
THAT RECORDING IN THAT SHAKEDOWN

WHAT'S THE BIGGEST LESSON YOU'VE
LEARNED?
603
00:31:27,010 --> 00:31:29,721
>> IS TO KEEP AN OPEN MIND.
604
00:31:29,721 --> 00:31:33,600
I WALKED INTO THIS THING OF AN
IDEA OF WHAT DRAG IS, AND THE
605
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,060
KIDS HAVE A DIFFERENT IDEA, THEY
KEEP CHANGING IT.

KNOW.
612
00:31:58,249 --> 00:32:01,628
>> Stephen: ONE OF THE THINGS
I LIKE ABOUT DRAG IS THE
613
00:32:01,628 --> 00:32:05,089
ASSUMPTION OF PERSONA, YOU KNOW,
THE LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE THAT
614
00:32:05,089 --> 00:32:08,968
GOES INTO IT AND THE COMMITMENT,
AND PART OF THAT IS A GREAT
615
00:32:08,968 --> 00:32:10,094
NAME.
616
00:32:10,094 --> 00:32:13,640

>> UH-HUH.
630
00:32:59,143 --> 00:33:01,813
>> Stephen: IT'S DIFFICULT TO
MAINTAIN THE GLAM DURING COVID,
631
00:33:01,813 --> 00:33:03,815
FOR MANY PEOPLE.
632
00:33:03,815 --> 00:33:07,193
EVIE AND I, OBVIOUSLY, I'M
MAINTAINING THE GLAM HERE.
633

SHE CAN TIE IT SO MANY DIFFERENT
WAYS.

00:33:19,163 --> 00:33:21,374
( LAUGHTER )
WHAT'S YOUR ADVICE FOR
637
00:33:21,374 --> 00:33:24,335
MAINTAINING A GLAM LIFESTYLE
UNDER COVID?
638
00:33:24,335 --> 00:33:27,046
>> WELL, GLAMOUR, IT REALLY HAS
TO START WITH YOU, WHETHER IT'S
639
00:33:27,046 --> 00:33:31,718
A PANDEMIC OR NOT, YOU HAVE TO
ENJOY IT YOURSELF, AND THE
640
00:33:31,718 --> 00:33:36,639
NUMBER ONE THING, REALLY, IS TO
DO WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL HAPPY.
641
00:33:36,639 --> 00:33:40,351
NOW, OF COURSE, IN THESE TIMES,
WE ARE ALL VIDEO CONFERENCING,
642
00:33:40,351 --> 00:33:42,645
IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE YOUR
LIGHTING RIGHT.
643
00:33:42,645 --> 00:33:43,688
>> Stephen: OKAY.
644
00:33:43,688 --> 00:33:48,109
RIGHT NOW, I'VE GOT MY
COMPUTER FACING A WINDOW, IT'S

00:33:48,109 --> 00:33:51,362
LIGHT HERE IN CALIFORNIA RIGHT
NOW, SO THAT WORKS.
646
00:33:51,362 --> 00:33:54,115
SO ALSO I HAVE ANOTHER RING
LIGHT BEYOND THAT SO THAT THE
647
00:33:54,115 --> 00:33:55,658
LIGHT IS COMING THIS WAY.
648
00:33:55,658 --> 00:33:59,829
YOU DON'T WANT AN OVERHEAD
LIGHT, YOU DON'T WANT A SIDE
649
00:33:59,829 --> 00:34:00,663
LIGHT.
650
00:34:00,663 --> 00:34:04,167
>> Stephen: WHY NOT AN
OVERHEAD LIGHT?
651
00:34:04,167 --> 00:34:11,841
>> BECAUSE IT MAKES YOU LOOK
ERGLY.
652
00:34:11,841 --> 00:34:12,633
>> Stephen: ERGLY.
653
00:34:12,633 --> 00:34:15,720
AND THE SIDE LIGHT IS TOO
DRAMATIC?
654
00:34:15,720 --> 00:34:20,391
>> THE SIDE LIGHT ACCENTUATES
THE FOLDS AND CREASES IN YOUR
655
00:34:20,391 --> 00:34:21,017
FACE.
656
00:34:21,017 --> 00:34:21,559
>> Stephen: DON'T WANT THAT.
657
00:34:21,559 --> 00:34:22,602
