GLENN: On the road for 8/28. We're in Washington, D.C. You don't want to miss tonight's super, super classic TV show. Also Joe Biden, is he even in town? Because he's sure, sure, he's great. No, sure, he's great.

STU: You support him for, what, president of the world? Because you said he's great, he's a great man.

PAT: Secretary general of the UN.

GLENN: Sure, sure.

PAT: King of the world.

GLENN: So he had quite an interesting statement over the weekend.

PAT: Yeah.

BIDEN: The reports of the death of the Democratic Party have been greatly exaggerated (applause), greatly exaggerated.

STU: He is kind of paraphrasing

BIDEN: It's because of you guys. It's because of you guys.

PAT: What?

BIDEN: I'm here to tell you that on November 3rd.

GLENN: Who is he talking to?

PAT: A group of Democrats.

GLENN: A group of Democrats? What guys? Sure, sure, I got that but specifically who? We should probably look into it because he could be talking to the Center For American Progress.

PAT: Could be, could be.

GLENN: He could be talking to that evil what is that, that front group that we're not even sure that

PAT: Americans For Prosperity? Oh, my gosh.

GLENN: You heard the president say.

PAT: You don't know.

GLENN: They may be terrorist organizations.

PAT: You don't know if they are getting money directly from Osama Bin Laden himself.

GLENN: It could be from Boris, the bad guy from the Soviet Union? Remember him, Boris?

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: It could be coming from Boris.

PAT: And you are not talking about Yeltsin.

GLENN: No, I'm talking about Boris and Natasha.

PAT: From Bullwinkle.

GLENN: Yeah. Those guys, eaty feety beaty weety, and then all of a sudden Boris comes and gives them a bagful of money.

PAT: Could be.

GLENN: Could happen.

PAT: You don't know.

GLENN: You don't know. Anyway, just saying.

BIDEN: November the 3rd, the day after this coming election, there will be in Washington D.C. a Democratic majority in the House and a Democratic majority in the Senate (applause). That will be the case.

PAT: Yeah!

GLENN: Yes.

BIDEN: And we're not illegal. I make book on it. We have an economic policy and a plan for prosperity.

PAT: Get this.

BIDEN: That lay in financial instruments, credit default swaps.

PAT: Default swaps.

BIDEN: Collateralized obligation, subprime mortgages.

GLENN: Hold on just a second. Hold on. Did they change any of those things?

PAT: No. No, they continued them all.

GLENN: Sure, sure.

PAT: And by the way, did George Bush start credit default swaps?

GLENN: Sure, sure.

PAT: Did he start the subprime mortgage thing?

GLENN: Sure, sure.

PAT: No.

BIDEN: Administration had a Ponzi scheme masquerading as a vision.

PAT: Get that?

GLENN: As a Ponzi scheme.

PAT: And it was his.

GLENN: So hang on.

PAT: Some subprime mortgage crisis.

GLENN: We just found out today. The CBO came out on Friday actually and said that we have added $4.1 trillion to the debt.

PAT: Why would you spin it that way?

GLENN: What?

PAT: It's $4.4 trillion if I'm not mistaken. Nice spin on that, Glenn.

GLENN: Huffington Post has me again. $4.4 trillion. Now, what was the debt when everybody including the Republicans well, no, I can't say this. Including the people like us that were on the air saying, uh, Bush is spending us into oblivion, what was the debt? What was the debt in 2008?

PAT: Wasn't it $10 trillion? When he left office, it was $10 trillion.

GLENN: $10 trillion.

PAT: Now it's $13.3 trillion?

GLENN: Well, you've added 4.4.

PAT: So it's going up. By the end of the year I think it's

GLENN: If we had $10 trillion when he came into office, we've just added $4.4 trillion. We got a problem, gang. We're 18 months in.
