I need to start tonight with a bit of an update.

An update on something I said on this show about Donald Trump.

Now, a couple of weeks ago, I opened this show by playing the clip of this completely bizarre moment

when Trump said that his late uncle knew the notorious domestic terrorist Ted Kaczynski,

better known as the Unabomber.

My uncle was at MIT, one of the great professors, 51 years, whatever.

He was the longest serving professor in the history of MIT.

Kaczynski was one of his students.

Do you know who Kaczynski was?

There's very little difference between a madman and a genius.

But Kaczynski, I said, what kind of a student was

the uncle John, Dr. John Trump? He said, what kind of a student? And then he said, seriously

good. He said he'd go around correcting everybody, but it didn't work out too well for him.

I mean, that clip does not get any less bizarre, and I just love watching the face of the

man next to Trump that's in the shot.

But that aside, Trump said that his uncle taught the Unabomber at MIT, and that Trump

and his uncle had talked about what a good student the Unabomber had been.

Now, at the time, I pointed out that this story was basically impossible.

I mean, for one thing, there

was no record that the Unabomber attended MIT, and Trump's uncle, who was a professor at MIT,

died in 1985, more than a decade before the Unabomber's identity even became public. None of it

made any sense. And I said at the time that all this seemed like just another example of Trump losing it.
