" Totally and completely. Blue with a crossover with I tweaking. Memorial service. -- We'll bring it -- FaceBook yet we are. Broadcasting a but it -- if you ask your choice. I retreat -- if one argued that I think you make the case is the single sweeting yet this is the single most important event probably in the last fifty years -- at 1 o'clock the memorial service and if you wanted to listen to the most important event last seventy years. Who drove us there with then menial that is true what I unique perspective starting at 1 o'clock we will be broadcasting the important parts will cut in won't cut -- won't comment you'll comment is not going to be elected to our memorial service it's gonna be you and we as the EU and us you and we. Sort of commenting on what is happening at they're not at the -- say two things for restore one. I'm incredibly proud. To be co hosting the memorial service would sort of one with Margery -- the only woman in America I mean this sincerely -- a couple of you'll -- and a who can leave the studio at 3 o'clock being against primary enforcement -- seatbelt law. Write a column an hour later. And before primary -- right this eco log -- until I admire that in ways that are almost impossible average column today I figure. The editors totally screwed this one out and read it again and well undermine."
" You know some of us are open minded since -- a little bit more reporting decided after -- left yesterday afternoon spent considerable time in doing a woman. Who has become a crusader for this because. Her daughter was killed and she persuaded me very persuasively and you should be persuaded to because you're the only white man Americans not black Hispanic people are important to the biggest victims are tickets from the Carolina died like a -- So I think if you are meant Trudy you're supposed to its post and you'd be on the family means."
" Number two. It is true the roughly seven hours I will be shivering my timbers. On the cruise and Schoen and -- report in lives. Tomorrow about our overnight or over its slumber party with -- a listener and he is aghast on the things that we ought to start dispelling cancel -- is gonna be and I'm sorry if you think it is not a huge news then. You should move to another country because this is what is happening other -- I'll tell you Jake Tapper -- is a reporter for ABC and -- is a great reporter and is great to press conferences and it's -- is about anybody who has the bigger job than -- now it's really he's generous have you but he's great he goes up to Obama this is a quote he goes up to Obama who was in Russia. And says how to Obama the question essentially is how do you feel about medical Jackson. Stealing the spotlight and Obama starts with the quote Jackson captured the public's imagination this toy fair quotes of all time this is Barack Obama on the day of the memorial he's in Russia after having signed the framework of a huge reduction of strategic nuclear weapons. Over their here's what he says this is Obama at some point people start focusing again. A -- like nuclear weapons. But obviously not today sir Hillary there Marjorie. If people wanna talk about the agreement times strategic nuclear. Well ones you can call 6178221969. If you wanna talk to us about whether Michael Graham is right there were celebrating the life of a powerful men or. If you think the media may have -- had overboard. In its coverage all the -- all the anchors out there."
" Well here is the scoop what these networks ABC CBS fox and NBC -- all airing live coverage of the event. Beginning at one of the staples staples center of the Carol has extensive. Reporting in this today. All the major network morning shows Good Morning America the early showing today have personnel in place reports they started there at 7 o'clock in the morning. And then of course the cable side we have CNN which is -- basically all Michael Jackson all time plus Fox News and plus MSNBC. Plus. TV guide network plus black entertainment TV plus TV one. Does MTV and VH one. Well I 96 not a WTKK we'll all be airing their coverage and -- those stations are not waiting to one they've already started. At 1 o'clock CBS news anchor Katie Couric hosts a special edition. A 48 hours diverted to Jackson if you haven't got enough at 10 PM to nine."
" You re you you thought your paper Disney and what -- ball way I -- just common on the record saying it was a clips. Some London paper actually got the story no disrespect of apparel and -- missed the story -- is kiddie -- going to be at the funeral doubt she's broadcasting live from the casket. Right next. To Michael Jackson numbers this 6178221969. Pound 969. From a Verizon -- so let me just say to you and for all of you people who think this is not news. We should be talking about the strategic. Nuclear weapons deal out there in Russia which is perfectly -- let me just -- the biggest event on the planet is the single biggest event on the planet and I challenge anybody who says you know I'm above this I'm not interested in this and that includes programme bless his heart to say that they're not gonna be tuning in. Between two well between one and 2:33 o'clock eastern time. It's just that is complete BS and if you're not tuning in than your does not part of what's happened and."
" Okay we have several questions that well. I think that first line -- it. Has not and admittedly were part of the problem -- we're talking about it too has the media gone totally bonkers with this covering this like it is. A presidential funeral or some massive news story that impacts all of America the messengers is the nation gone bonkers over this in the media particularly on -- openness. Sharpton --"
" Tuesday up thirty car motorcade. Is about to leave forest -- source lawn cemetery right now he's in the casket the same casket on the exact same one but a model. Casket who was buried in the same casket."
" Well apparently James Brown was buried any casket very similar a fourteen karat gold -- Cost 25000. Dollars it is made of solid rounds. And polished with an inch the flight now that I worry casket for you something missing from the casket as you know."
" Dad's brain apparently is record one London tabloids brain's not come along for the memorial service that elsewhere in any case why would Ted Williams what the deal is the thirty car motorcade. Is going is leading forest down cemetery the beat the cemetery the stars on its way to staples. Senator for the memorial and Marjorie that you don't know this I'm so -- know this if these thirty car motorcade gets stuck in traffic in the brain was body of Michael Jackson can not make it to Staples Center in time to get -- there."
" left at the cemetery on the ticket by helicopter that's for the motorcade gets stuck."
" There helicopter in the -- body well Michael Beasley to Disney what are they doing in the cemetery during the oh yeah that would get in the coffin inches around. Announced that deserves okay so they're gonna so they had the service at the cemetery where the coffee when actually it analyst David James Brown is -- in the service."
" I don't see them praise and spotty -- to one of London tabloids on James Brown's brain I."
" No but James Brown kicked reporting on this. And other over the clear again beat there's I think that Don King actually who's looking pretty -- as there does its its large it is of these large. Variety and one of the issues as Marjorie revels in this trivia on more concerned but the bigger issues -- course wants us right brain is in the body all its."
" In the talk about nuclear proliferation. I know it ever has a big suggestions and I have. You're honest with the reverend now says that what we need United States of America 2009 in memory of Michael Jackson. Is in Michael Jackson stamp. And a national day of mourning do you agree or disagree with -- now."
" No I've been looking all morning I can't find out -- Brian Williams is broadcasting live in and Charlie Gibson is broadcasting live from the force -- Cemetery and and not clearly the case to court is if -- and his passes at the networks are definitely there you MTV could cover this. And -- want to cover it at DT no blanket and -- TD could covered it. VH one could cover it it does I think they're doing it because they -- that they don't that nobody else gonna want to stations have based can be tuned into the you know I didn't know that it. The fans in more than thirty states but not -- why. You'll be able to watch the memorial for free in theaters nationwide. This is again from the great courage and the Boston Herald about this whole thing what we're doing here we're not hooked up -- Massachusetts eaters apparently do not have -- digital cinema. Nationwide network that would allow shouldn't Massachusetts theatergoers to see this now. Everybody else or at least people who thirtieth -- can be written theaters watch this slide and here in Massachusetts. We can't."
" United States special forces team we -- thought maybe tomorrow. Election tomorrow we have to review these ceremonies we can't maybe Leno Thursday night's broadcast that. We can get to that six point 78221969. Pound 969. From a Verizon was what we know everything about this and if you were. In the camp that thinks Graham Israelis have had a file this is a disgrace not grammys don't follow but the Jackson was -- now and and or if you think Metafile or not it's a disgrace the way the media is doing wall to wall coverage that's fine too but if you answered -- to both those questions and you just wanna do water cooler discussion. About you know is the brain in Michael Jackson what do you think of the first at the 25000 dollars for a casket to its gold. Covered is them aren't aren't -- like really expensive these days is."
" I think most people don't. They kind of avoid the sales pitch by the funeral home a nickel for basic task we could play for. Well I'm sure he can for you legalism -- has become an orange shares retreated all of that she was that's right this -- twit her twins on twit. She's what we -- I was supposed to be an -- some of you won't get your calls the we're this is so excited Steve wonder Steve Stevie. As you know you're here to that this guy plays every single instrument on a huge percentage of the songs every single instrument."
" Unbelievable -- genius is a total genius rivals Michael Jackson directors of his genius is city. -- rich and dissidents in this Mariah -- you know assured. Lara -- Kobe Brian."
" Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe just because he's LA lakers star like. You doing there Jennifer Hudson who of course is the great place summer -- girls American -- John -- the other -- in the east while Jennifer Aniston. And Martin Luther King the third also you don't think there's some huge surprises -- we feel we know that Dodi rode the mother of the Jackson's children says."
" I suppose we did hear reports she wasn't actually promoted -- W he says she is the mother the Jackson children because she wants. Get them I think she's looking at I don't have much used -- I think she's has nothing do with children if they are children national -- Castro. Well -- she gave up then practically all her right to these kids."
" she's not gonna be here today and neither is Elizabeth Taylor that will be we'll be watching wealth is the -- giving sort of the star update as the."
" Okay let's be totally clear we're not just commenting. If there's somebody saying in your get a piece of it. If there's somebody speaking you'll get a piece as well you're not captain door the whole deal Richard it's sort of we're gonna bring you the best. Of the -- service -- and when we get back with a thank Graham was is hard for this. When we get back we interviewed all of America is talking about the NBC news guys interview with the keeper of bubbles the chance. That's true. Michael Jackson's best friend years ago he's abandoned him as you know since the interview with the ever all of America's been waiting for Kerry Sanders interviews. Bubbles the chip."
