From the Abraham Lincoln radio studio at the George Washington Broadcast Center.

The Armstrong and Gettyshow.

We got to figure a way to streamline this system.

A second man has testified that actor Jesse Smollett plotted a racist and anti-gay attack

on himself and paid him and his brother to carry it out.

Olabinjo Oson-Dero testified at Smollett's trial in Chicago that the actor gave them lines to shout and pointed out a surveillance camera.

He said would capture the hoax on video to use for publicity.

Smollett's attorney said he's the victim of a real attack and suggests the brothers lied about it so they could get money from the actor.

Did you watch Tucker Carlson last night?

I did not. I was drunkenly dancin'.

Oh, that's right. Yes. I'll tell you what Tucker is best at is snarky.

He could do. It's like the David Spade bit from Saturday night live in the 90s.

Just like snarky comments on celebrities and news of the day.

Tucker is as good as that as David Spade. He is an hilarious writer.

His entire opening was like a reminding us of the entire Smollett thing from beginning to end,

written in the way that he and his writers write it and is very entertaining.

But going back to the way, for instance, ABC bought it hookline and sinker and robber and robberts.

Remember her interview with Jesse Smollett and them crying and shimmed.

When the whole thing sounded way too convenient from the moment you heard about it for most people.

Sure, it was insane from the from moment one.

Yeah, but a bunch of news organizations taking it full-throatedly.
