Hosting the 1936 berlin games. cheers and applause no, that is without question my number one hitler related time travel fantasy. In fact, folks, i wrote a speculative fiction novel on this very subject entitled operation javelin. In which a time travelingeousie owens now trained as a sniper. Goes back to the critical moment where hitler is about to sign his contract with the olympic committee, raises his life el and shoots the pen right out of hitlers hand. Now obviously in the book hitler goes on to still do the other stuff but laughter but he never gets over the sting of seeing the olympic its move to baltimore. Thats justice. cheers and applause point is the point is russia turned over snowden shall this is your last warning. But folks had there is some good news out there. Weve got another political sex scandal. This time, this time involving san diego mayor bob fillner. Shocking, i know. I always thought that chicken was the mayor. laughter jim, lets hear the gorey details. Kissing, groping, lewd comments, sexual harassment, those are the allegations against long time liberal democrat, former congressman and current mayor of san diego bob fillner. Its alleged coworkers have coined specific terms like him like dirty old man and also refer to one of his alleged mos as the quote stillner head lock. Oftentimes pulling close to their face and tell them youre wonderful. Youre beautiful, i want to kiss you. And allegedly when a woman tries to evade the mayors advances, coworkers refer to it as quote the filner dance. Stephen yes, the filner dance. Because sexually harassing people gangnam style is so 2012. laughter now applause i think i sexually harassed myself. Now filner has addressed this matter completely with an internet video. I begin today by apologizing to you. I have diminished the office to which you elected me. Im clearly doing something wrong. And i have reach mood my heart and soul and realized i must and will change my behavior. Stephen see . This man reaches into heartsnd souls, and its not his fault if sometimes there are titties in the way. laughter it happens. applause now despite his admission, mayor filner has announced will not resign. And folks im not surprised. These days the public is very forgiving of politicians and sex scandals, mark sanford has been reelected to congress and right now in new york citys mayorral race, City Council SpeakerChristine Quinn and former penis selfportraitist Anthony Weiner are running neck and what i hope is his neck. Now no surprise, folks, no surprise new yorkers are willing to overlook weiners previous indiscretions. I mean if they were disturbed by seeing exposed genital those one would ride the subway. laughter but of course, the big story this week is the political comeback of former new york governor and registered lip donor Eliot Spitzer. Jim . In the race, former governor Eliot Spitzer barely has been in the race for a week and already hes leading manhattan borough president Scott Stringer 4833 percent. Stephen yes, Eliot Spitzer could very well be new yorks next comptroller. Do you have any idea what that means . I dont. Because what the hell is a comptroller . Here to tell us is candidate for new York City ComptrollerEliot Spitzer. Elliott, thank you for coming. Good to see you. cheers and applause thank you. Stephen okay, elliott, you also got a book here. I do. Stephen its call product tecting capitalism case by case. Well get to that later. Can we do that now. Stephen elliott. Yes, sir. Stephen what is a comptroller. What does a comptroller do. I thought you were going to tell me. Thats why i showed up. This is actually a hugely important position. You control or have a say in the investment of over 140 billion dollars of pension dollars that are the pensions for forming municipal wormer workers, you see overthe the budget, you see that the tax dollars are used for the purpose you seem so intent in listening. Stephen no, i do, its good to know. Given a position of this responsibility, shouldnt the job of comptroller go to someone who has shown a modicum of selfcomptrol. applause you are right. Stephen why why, why should, why should the people trust new. Based on the totality of the record. Many years as attorney general, doing things with respect to Capital Markets that relate directly to the office of comptroller. Stephen attacking wall street. Well, attacking, regulating it so it was honest and fair and transparent. And back in 2000, 2001 leading to the crisis of 2008 saying there are structural problems here that nobody wanted to admit. Regulation is the word you used. You cant be pro regulation and pro capitalism. Capitalism you have to cut the strings and fly, baby doll. That is so last century. Stephen why . Heres why. The reality is, our understanding of markets was flawed. Market does not work if you dont have annum prior. You cannot let the linesman on the Football Team call the holding penalty. You cannot leted wall street firms get away with this thing called selfregulation t will lead to another cataclysm. What does this have to do with that, that is not the job of the comptroller why dow want this job . Because before you had your fall from grace or whatever her name was you laughter stephen before you had your fall from grace, you were the governor of the state. Right. Stephen you were the governor slaferp . Arent you one at the same time both above and below this job. Thats why thats why im trying to get right in the middle. Heres why. In the book, which you kindly held up. Stephen there it is. I make an argument that ownership trumps regulation. And what i mean by that, i know that sounds like a wonky type of thing. You cant regulation your way to good judgement in the corporate boardrooms. You cant prosecute your way to good judgement, only if the people who own the company, and thats us, its our money, our pension dollars, our mutual funds, only if they listen to us. Stephen okay. Before we go. Yes. Stephen before we go, one last question, and that is, you know, youre leading in the polls. You could win this thing. Its possible that weiner could win this thing, mark sanford had a comeback. Do you think that it seems that voters are more forgiving than they used to be . Do you think that signals progress for our country or the slow decay of our moral values . laughter wow. Wow. Thats a tough one. Stephen this eight charlie rose mother [bleep]. Come back and tell me. Come back and tell me. Eliot spitzer, candidate for new York City Comptroller. Stephen welcome back, folks. Thanks so much, folks. If you watch this show you know that as a protector of our National Moral virtue, i have long bemoaned the oversexualization of our culture. And then i bemoaned my bemoaning, because some of it sounded pretty sexy. Well for once, folksing im not the only elderly person yelling at the youngsters to get off my loin. laughter because i have got the old gray lady on my side. You see, over the weekend the New York Times published an article titled sex on campus, she can play that game too. Tearing its lid off the breaking news story that women in college, brace yourselves, enjoy the sex. laughter now ill give you i will give you a moment while your minds and only your minds are blown. laughter now as the article notes, folks, as the article notes traditional dating in college has mostly gone the way of the land line replaced by hooking up. And theres an increasing realization that young women are propelling it. Now for those not hip to the scene, the phrase hooking up is teen talk for any sex younger people are having. Evidently, using propellers. Now nation this is truly shocking. There has not been an expose like this since the front line documentary series on how wild are girls have gone. Before this New York Times exclusive story, i thought only guys had sex in college. I mean laughter isnt that what frats are for . I mean go capa alpha. I have to say, i have to say im not surprised that New York Times nailed this trend. I would expect nothing less from the paper that also nailed the shocking evidence of college sex in 2012, 2010, 2008, 1997, 1988, 1976, 1972, 1968, 1967, 1963. And in 1940 when an clucked about the sex relations between the students and coeducational colleges. Yes. applause stephen yes, yes, the sex relations. applause the sex relations, as disturbing today as it was then, because those people are now your grandparents. laughter and who, who among us can forget 1904 when actual times writer Henry Mitchell mccrocken, brother of phil mckraken, i believe, wrote a scathing expose on risk surrounding college men in big cities, namely the lowest grade of impulses from the sexual pro pension. Oh, oh my goodness. Oh goodness me. applause goodness, my billuous humors havent been so basely aroused since i glimpse that deguero type of a quick, question, a fink ture of mercury will rehabilitate my constitution. You see, you see, folks, back later were doing the macado. You see, nation n 1904 no one had deared plumb the depths of a young mans am orous proclivities mainly because the New York Times want founded until 1851 and sex wasnt invented until 1893. Well, folks, tonight i have a special treat for you. Please welcome the man who is still evidently the New York Times times trends editor Henry Mitchell mckraken. Mr. Mccraken, please. Sit down, thank you. cheers and applause stephen now henry, henry, thank you for coming. What an honor.

I am a dead marshal from the 1800s. Ryan reynolds is a modern day policeman who is recently deceased and were members of the rest in Peace Department and its our job to search out souls that are dead but they cling to life. They want to remain with us. And we cant have that. It would crowd us out. Stephen so you kill ghosts again. Yeah, you could say that, yes, yes, ghosts who refuse to die, yes. Stephen would you go so far as to say you bust ghosts in a way. In a way. Stephen a little bit, a little bit. At risk a would you say that. Okay, do you believe in ghosts . I am not sure.
