He would have won it in a landslide, and he actually stole it anyway.

It's actually David Remnick, great line, uh, he said at the time, he said, "Well, and Putin stole that elections anyway, just out of habit."

Yeah.

So if we, from Animal Farm back to 1984 and double-speak and double-think.

But then when you get someone like Megan Romer, who, you know, my heart goes out to her because she's being treated like a pinata by Fox News and so many others.

And she goes on TV and she's asked by David, or she's talking to David Remnick of The New Yorker, and she's being asked, what do we do with Ukraine? And she's like, diplomacy.

We haven't done diplomacy enough.

And I'm listening to what she's saying about Ukraine.

You know, it's either been done or it's just not working at all.

I mean, you know, who knows? The only people that know if it's working for them is David Remnick and Emma.

We think everything works, of course, up to a point.

It's all wonderful and funny.

This is The New Yorker Radio Hour.

I'm David Remnick.

Now, if you're a fan of John Wilson's TV show and films, then, then you don't really need this introduction.

But if you haven't heard of him-

John Wilson's film, The History of Concrete, is in theaters September 18th.

He spoke with staff writer Andrew Marantz of The New Yorker.

I'm David Remnick, and that's our episode for today.

Thanks for listening.

... of Bibi.

I mean, David Remnick wrote a brilliant piece in The New Yorker a couple of months ago about Gadi Eizenkot, uh, after meeting him and, and, and, and trying to study his candidacy.

And he said, "That's the point.

He is everything that Bibi is not." He's-

In a way, I found myself thinking, it's very appealing to somebody like me, but it's not somebody like me he needs to win over.

In the, this is a question now I'm asking about the Israeli voter rather than about him.

Will the voters rally to a person who does lack those, the pr- uh, the politician's tradecraft, who c- who sort of does pause and who doesn't have an immediate slick answer? From what you're seeing in the campaign, 'cause we are now in the campaign, beyond commentators and David Remnick and me, are there people here who think, "Yeah, that's what we want in a prime minister"?

I'll tell you, we can, we can see.

Somebody else, I don't have his name here, Gotti, pointed out that I told what might be an untruth.

that David Remnick actually has all of his hair, according to this person.

And I want to apologize deeply to all of our viewers who've come to see us as a source of reliable information.

I went back and I checked my sources, because you know we have sources here, Gotti.

I mean, we're not just making stuff up as we go along.

We have sources, and I had a source about David Remnick's hair.

When I walked to the metro station here, there is a lady, a homeless lady on crack, and she told me that she used to be the lover of Seymour Hersh.

And I went and checked.
