43:46Now PlayingIt's that time of year again … Time for the Academy Awards… So let's hear from … President Trump
"The Kennedy Center has everything. Look at the Academy Awards, it gets lousy ratings now, it's all woke. All they do is talk about how much they hate Trump. But nobody likes that. They don't watch anymore. That used to have 45 million people watching. Remember The Apprentice first season. The Apprentice had 42 million people, the Academy Awards had 41 million people. We were the second show to the Super Bowl. But since then, the Academy Awards have gone down to -- I think they've gone down to numbers that are like a regular show."
That was President Trump last August.
The Academy Awards may be like a regular show – but the latest episode of C-SPAN's "Extreme Mortman" is no regular podcast.
Because we award the first ever ExMo!
The prize for best movie reference by a politician over the past year.
And who will decide which politician wins the ExMo for best movie reference?
Hint: It's the only person perfect for this role … straight out of central casting.
You're right! It IS Bob Cusack of the Washington Examiner. A political junkie – and a seasoned actor!
And which politician comes away with the first-ever ExMo awarded by Bob Cusack?
Here's another hint: You'll find out in this week's episode of "Extreme Mortman."
