Nichelle CarrGUEST
Very political.
Michael OsborneHOST
But his politics are like, if you go through it, it gets complicated because he stumps for Hubert Humphrey in 1968, the Democratic nominee after RFK had been assassinated and LBJ had dropped out.
Michael OsborneHOST
And then in 72, he gets behind Richard Nixon and later in life has a kind of friendship with Strom Thurmond.
MartinHOST
When
AndreHOST
Strom Thurmond was like 112 or something.
RobertHOST
Currently, Senator Chuck Grassley, 92 years old, still serving in the Senate.
RobertHOST
And we do have the oldest Senate that is currently
AndyHOST
And he was definitely in the service, he definitely had the rank he purported, which was a fairly high rank.
AndyHOST
He went on to work for, uh, Senator Strom Thurmond and a number of other politicos along the way, and the book caused quite a little bit of controversy.
Eddie BuffaloHOST
Now, where did you first hear about this guy?
AndyHOST
Uh-
Eddie BuffaloHOST
Well, well, well, Donnie, I'm not too sure.
Eddie BuffaloHOST
[laughs]
AndyHOST
The thing that was, gave his book initial gravitas was that he had a forward written by Strom Thurmond-
Eddie BuffaloHOST
Really?
Mark HalperinHOST
But if Democrats win eight seats, which they can, potentially, those seats could be amongst them.
Mark HalperinHOST
And of course, Kansas has an elected Democratic senator, since Joe Biden was born, I think, and South Carolina, not since Strom Thurmond, I think, and not lately.
Mark HalperinHOST
So those are two races to watch, which we talk about and we'll continue to talk about.
Mark HalperinHOST
I have to say, I have to say the Dow dropped 628 points today.
Mark HalperinHOST
Who are the two most famous people who hail from Aiken?
Kevin WallingHOST
Well, Strom Thurmond, that's where he lived most of his life.
Kevin WallingHOST
He was from Edgeville, but claimed Aiken.
Kevin WallingHOST
Probably Strom.
Brett ErlichHOST
Prove it.
Brett ErlichHOST
If I could call him, this isn't Strom Thurmond who didn't use technology and referred to microphones as a machine.
Brett ErlichHOST
This guy is Mitch McConnell.
John IadarolaHOST
Yeah.
Rob WilliamsHOST
Not only your win percentage, but your opponent's win percentage.
Rob WilliamsHOST
How does this reflect for Strom Thurmond, who was off last night? How good are the Rebels? Really good.
Rob WilliamsHOST
We've talked about this multiple times, Smitty.
Rob WilliamsHOST
But I think, you know, Justin Hollis said it on 107.5 The Game with me last night.
Rob WilliamsHOST
Maybe Strom Thurmond's just really good.
Rob WilliamsHOST
I said, yeah.
Rob WilliamsHOST
They're awesome.
Matt SmithHOST
They go from 3A to 2A.
Dave PriceHOST
Right.
Eric WoolsonGUEST
Well, you know, I think Strom Thurmond was 99 when he passed away in the Senate.
Eric WoolsonGUEST
And Grassley served with Strom Thurmond a long time.
Eric WoolsonGUEST
So he may be interested in beating Strom Thurmond's record.
Dave PriceHOST
And we just saw Markey.
Dave PriceHOST
He's what, 80? He won his primary.
Jim JonesHOST
Welcome back to the safety of the silo
A.Ron HubbardHOST
Maybe that's her purpose, is that like, like, like Senator Thurmond's just saying like, "Well," like, "if Charlotte doesn't make it through to the other side so that we can reconstituter her or whatever, like Anna might kill herself-
Jim JonesHOST
Mm-hmm
A.Ron HubbardHOST
... and I can't have that." Like it's like it's not even important to the project or to the extent that she is the project.
speaker_0SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
When we tell ourselves such lies, start to live and believe such lies, we do the work of our oppressors by oppressing ourselves.
speaker_0SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Strom Thurmond and Hoover don't give a shit about me.
speaker_0SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
What they really want to destroy is all of us coming together and demanding this country change.
speaker_0SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Are they expecting my resignation? Some are, yes.

Gordon McNultyHOST
He does it a lot in Sing Sing as well.
Gordon McNultyHOST
That, like, it's a side of him being sort of cut down to size that...
Gordon McNultyHOST
he touches on that a few different points in this movie and every time it happens you really believe it the part where he shuts off the radio just in time for the Strom Thurmond saying he is a convicted homosexual and then it cuts off and he's sort of panicking and sort of deflecting and talking about the sandwiches and it's intercut between the flashes of his arrest and it's The sort of loss of control that he has in those moments is very powerful.
Markku YlipaloGUEST
You know, I think I counted three or four scenes in this movie where somebody turns off the radio or TV just to say something key.
