There were more than 7,000 of these various, deliberately manic screaming crazy eddie ads. They all end with that tag line, his prices are insane the guy who actually appears in those ads was not crazy. He was an actor. There was a real crazy eddie. There was a real crazy guy named eddie running the company. His name was eddie antar. I think its fair to call him crazy not just because of the name of his business but because eddie and his cousin cooked the books at that Company Really terribly. They ripped off Something Like 100 million in cash out of that company. Crazy eddie, according to court documents, he would tape wads of cash all over his body and then fly overseas and stash the money he was stealing from the company in cash in all sorts of various foreign hidey holes. They were ripping tens of millions of dollars out of the crazy eddie stores for years. In the end, the worst thing about it for crazy eddie himself, when they got found out, when their scheme was uncovered, when they got caught, eddie fled the country but his cousin did not. The cousin with whom he had been stealing all the money, the cousin stayed behind and the cousin ultimately went state evidence against crazy eddie. He also found time to do this crazy eddies crazy cousin interview on cnbc. It was one of the most successful electronic chains in the u. S. Blowout prices are insane crazy eddie, controlled by the brash eddie antar dominated the market. But there was a dark side. Built on deceit. Behind the scenes, eddies cousin sam antar was cooking the books. What i did was pure evil. Im probably going to fry in hell for many years before i get upstairs. They scammed shareholders more than 100 million. Eddie fled with the cash. Sam turns states witness. You turned around and turned on your family . Yes. I put them all in jail. He did put them all in jail, including crazy eddie himself, his cousin, who got seven years in the pokie. Now, speaking of pokey, stick a pen in that for a second. You know how Donald Trumps sister is a federal judge it hasnt really been a big point of discussion in this campaign but his sister is a federal judge. It came up a little bit during the republican primaries. He asked who he wanted to put on the Supreme Court and the first name suggested was his sister and then we all had to check to see if he was joking. He said he was joking. But his older sister is a wellregarded moderate federal judge on the Circuit Court of appeals. Donald trumps sister, the federal judge, was married to the man who was the lawyer for crazy eddie all through the crazy, crazy eddie scandal. His name was john barry. He did white collar defense and corporate litigation. Hes passed away now. But he was crazy eddies lawyer through the wads of cash, taped to crazy eddies body and the cousin narking them out and the whole thing. Crazy eddies lawyer was married to Donald Trumps sister. Crazy eddies lawyer was also Donald Trumps personal lawyer for years. And on top of all of that, john barry was also the lawyer that is freaking out the party right now. New jersey is one of those states that holds its statewide elections in off years. Their race was not in 2012. It was in 2013. The next one will be in the fall of 2017. They hold their statewide elections in odd number of years. New jersey has been that way for a long time. Virginia is the same way. There arent many states who do that. One of the consequences of being an offyear election state is when they elect their governor in these weird, odd numbered years, they dont have a lot of competition for attention, right . There are not a lot of big ticket races going on to compete for everybodys dollars and the National Parties to get involved. Just by virtue of the weird schedule. They can get a bunch of National Attention and thats what happened in 1981. So in context, that was a year after Ronald Reagan was elected to the presidency in 1980. The year after that, november of 1981, new jersey had its governors race. And in that governors race in 1981, the National Republican party newly energized from that huge win with reagan and how they took the seats in congress and the senate, Republican Party decided they had another shot to go for another big race and they decided to basically flood the zone in that new jersey governors race in 1981. The republicans flew in National Political operatives. They launched this very aggressive scheme where they challenged the registration of thousands of new jersey voters who turned up to the polls in newark, camden and trenton. And in about 75 minority heavy precincts across new jersey that year in that race, they put up these fourfoot tall warning signs. When i first saw images of these signs online and in Old Newspaper articles and stuff, i thought these were like flyers and the piece of a paper and put them on telephone poles or something. They were sandwich board posters, fourfoot tall signs that they put outside of polling areas saying, warning, this area is being patrolled by the National BallotSecurity Task force. Its a crime to violate election laws. And they were not bluffing. The rnc did actually invent something called a Ballot Security Task force and put these guys on patrol in minority heavy precincts. Its interesting. Nobody had advanced warning that they are coming. They just showed up on election day and nobody knew to expect it. They had offduty Police Officers and Sheriff Deputies carrying walkietalkies wearing Ballot Security Task force arm bands. Many were openly carrying guns and they stalked around polling places in minorityheavy districts while they demanded that election workers strike these people off the election rolls. Several of these signs were reported at polling places at newarks fourth ward. Poll watchers, some of them offduty policemen wearing guns and arm bands were also near the polls as part of the task force set up by the republican and National State committees to guard against fraud but democrats charge it was a scare campaign to intimidate voters primarily in minority neighborhoods. Yeah, you think . Who knows how many people were blocked or intimidated from voting in that election in new jersey in 1981. But as Voter Suppression schemes go, this one clearly worked. Both parties would claim that it definitely worked. There were 3 million votes cast in that governors race. It was decided by less than 1800 votes. And the republican won. And then the democrats sued. The democrats sued the Republican Party over this Ballot Security Task force stunt. And you know who the republicans used as their lawyer to defend them in that case . Donald trumps brotherinlaw. The crazy eddie guy who was married to Donald Trumps sister. He was the lawyer for the Republican Party in that case in new jersey. And he got creamed in court. I mean, the damage was already done in terms of that governors race. The republicans won that election by this many votes, right . And the democrats werent going to be able to get that election back. But what the democrats did get was something called a Consent Decree, which bans the Republican National committee from doing this kind of thing again, from doing anything like this, that problem hib bits them from being involved in any pollwatching shenanigans that targets minority voters. And now today, in 2016, now the snake starts eating its own tail. In 2016, its not Donald Trumps brotherinlaw, its now donald trump who is losing that exact case all over again for the Republican National committee. Go down to certain areas and watch and study and make sure other people dont come in and vote five times. So important that you watch other communities because we dont want this election stolen from us. So go and vote and then go check out areas because a lot of bad things happen. When i say watch, you know what im talking about, right . You know what im talking about. Take a look at philadelphia, whats been going on. Take a look at chicago, take a look at st. Louis. Every time he says that, you can go ahead and picture Reince Priebus hiding under a desk, because thats a really dangerous path for the Republican Party to be on legally. The Republican Party is still bound by that Consent Decree from that case in 1981. That case that was lost by Donald Trumps brotherinlaw on behalf of the Republican Party. Because of that case, the Republican Party has promised they are legally bound to not do the kind of racially charged poll watching they got caught doing back in the battle days in new jersey in 1981. Theyve promised not to do it. They are legally bound not to do it through the end of that Consent Decree and that Consent Decree was put in place by one way or another since the early 1980s. It is finally set to expire next year. In 2017. The Republican Party would desperately like to get out from under that Consent Decree that they have been under since the 1980s but they will not get out from under it if they get caught violating it. They wont get out from under it if they get caught doing racially charged, racially targeted poll watching again like they used to do and that they got caught for. They will not get out from that Consent Decree if they actually do what donald trump is now asking all republicans to go do now on his behalf. Go down to certain areas and watch. Watch other communities. Go check out areas. When i say watch, you know what im talking about, right . You know what im talking about. Take a look at philadelphia, chicago, st. Louis. Or dont. Or dont. Or dont. Thanks to that old case, lost by Donald Trumps brotherinlaw in the early 80s, one of this years more unexpected freakouts within the Republican Party is now officially under way. The Republican Party has issued a special request to all rnc members to please not do what donald trump is asking them to do, to please not gather around polling places in philadelphia and st. Louis and chicago or anywhere no matter what the republican president ial candidate is saying on the stump. The National Party sent a whole the whole rnc a memo to, quote, remind you of the restrictions placed on the rnc by the Consent Decree. Quote, you are encouraged not to engage in ballot security activities even in your personal state party or Campaign Capacity if you elect to do so, please be aware that the rnc in no way sanctions your activity. I mean, right now, as it stands, the Republican Party is legally bound to not do any racially specific poll watching through next year, through 2017. If they get caught doing it, though, the Consent Decree gets extended until 2025. And the Republican Party does not want that. They really do not want that. Crazy eddies lawyer is now long gone. But it is kind of amazing that it is now his brotherinlaw, the republican nominee for president this year whos the one screwing up that big case, that john barry lost for the Republican Party back in the 80s. I mean, in the waning days of these elections, in the last two weeks, donald trump is telling his supporters that he doesnt trust the polls anymore and neither should they. He tweeted this this morning. We have not edited this in any way. See if you can figure out why im saying this. Major story that the dems are making up phony polls in order to suppress the the trump. We are going to win. Democrats are making up phony polls to suppress the the trump. Is that the the so . Anything could happen. Election day may be a hullabaloo. If they do go try to have a task force or what have you, anything could happen. But right now, the New York Times probability that the the trump will lose this election is 93 . The 538 probability is more conservative. They put it at 86 . Those are pretty high numbers. It may be that the actual drama in this case is moving down. 538 says theres a 74 chance. The democrats are going to take the senate. New york times puts that probability slightly lower at 67 . Because of those kind of numbers, democrats are thinking about long term, right . Democrats are thinking about how they can make this a big win for the Democratic Party beyond winning the white house for hillary clinton. Weve got a bunch of interesting reporting on that subject still ahead tonight, including one race that the democrats are really screwing up. On the other side of the aisle, though, republicans are also thinking long term. Republicans are looking at donald trump and thinking about what else it is that they have to lose this year besides the presidency. The republicans basically know now that picking donald trump to be their president ial nominee has almost certainly cost them the white house. What they have to worry about now is whether thats it, whether the price of choosing donald trump might actually be sort of insane. Weve got more ahead tonight. Stay with us. [ cough ] shh.

I think well have a lot of those in the next couple of weeks. I got something very, very wrong on this show a couple of days ago. Ill correct it this evening. Theres something that i think the Democratic Party is currently getting very, very wrong but in that case i have no expectation that they will correct it because i dont think they think that they are wrong. But i do. And that story is next. D didiyou say . Yes. Heed by geicos fastfactio . Anndly cims ice. Of ges huh. Oh yeah, baby. Geicos as fast and woo ndlys it gets. What bad back .

He thinks that because he has a mouthful of tictacs he can grope any woman within groping distance. Ive got news for you, donald trump, women have had it with guys like you. [cheers and applause ] and nasty women have really had it with guys like you. Yeah. And get this, donald, nasty women are tough. Nasty women are smart and nasty women vote. And on november 8th, we nasty women are going to march our nasty feet to cast our nasty votes to get you out of our lives forever. Elizabeth warren i think coining nasty feet for the first time in political history. We keep saying things are unprecedented and then we keep saying, oh, yeah, in the 1860s. I think nasty feet is first. I think that was a first. Elizabeth warren on the campaign trail with hillary clinton. This is the first time they have campaigned together in the same place since the democratic convention. As you saw there, Elizabeth Warren scorched donald trump but she saved some of her other best bolts for one of the Senate Colleagues for kelly ayotte of New Hampshire who is up for reelection who may not survive. Donald trump, call latinos rapists and murderers, trump stayed with him. Trump called them thugs and kelly stuck with them. Trump attacked a gold star family and kelly struck with him. Trump even attacked kelly ayotte and called her weak. And kelly stuck with him. I mentioned at the top of the show that the chances of the Democratic Party taking control of the senate are pretty good right now. Thats 67 from the New York Times, the highest probability the times has put on that yet all year long. And that is just one number for an overall probability that the democrats will win control of the senate. But its not just one election, right . Taking the senate doesnt happen in one fell swoop, it happens race by race and candidate by candidate. Thats why the top Campaign Events now sound like this. Marco rubio said donald trump is a con man and donald trump is dangerous. Therefore, i support whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute. How can that work . If he wont stand up against donald trump and there are plenty of republican who is are standin
