FRANK MORANO
Oh! Randy Credico is on the line! Credico is on the line? Okay. Well- So- Randy, good morning. Only two hours after our scheduled time to speak. How are you?

RANDY CREDICO
Yeah, well, you know, these are troubled times. I have a hard time sleeping, and when I do, I sleep for like a week.

MORANO
Now, Randy, we don't have very much time here, but I do want to ask you a little bit about what we're hearing-

CREDICO
I'm in big demand, by the way.

MORANO
I know you are! I know you are! First tell us-

CREDICO
You have Charles Manson on the phone, basically.

MORANO
Exactly. So, tell us first, Randy, you've interviewed on your radio show, on WBAI, Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, many times, now...you just went to visit him, for the first time. What was that like?

CREDICO
It was great. Actually, I visited him...twice. This year. The first time was in September, and then, two weeks ago, I spent two days with him. Inside the Ecuadorian embassy- It's a very quaint embassy, and the food next door in Harrods is very expensive, fish n chips, is like forty bucks, and that's what he prefers. Seafood. And orange juice. So, it's like going to Club 21 here. But they- it's nice because he's a very brilliant individual. He's the most wanted man by the intelligence community of the United States, and to get in there and talk to him- He's a brilliant, one of the most brilliant guys I've ever- individuals I have ever met. It's just- It's amazing. It's like being in with a prof- The guy's like fifteen years younger than I am. But he's very smart, and he's very resilient, and he has a lot of fortitude. And it's very impressive, I must say, he's a very impressive individual, that he continues to crank out stuff. It reminds me of, here in the [coughs] 19th century, there was a fellow in- in Missouri, by the name of Elijah Lovejoy, whose brother was Owen Lovejoy, Elijah Lovejoy was an abolitionist newspaper man, and every time he put out a paper, the Southern pro-slavery Missourians would destroy his machine. His printing press. But he continued and continued, till finally they broke it up and killed him.

MORANO
Alright. Well Randy, we only have a couple of minutes left here-

CREDICO
OH! I thought I was on till the end of the hour.

MORANO
Yeah. No no no, we only have a couple of minutes. And then we gotta run, but- let me- maybe we can get you in the studio, and maybe we'll have you for the full hour because there's a lot I want to pick your brain on, _but_ - big story in the New York Times, "Comedian" - that's you - "Subpoenaed in Inquiry on Russian Meddling" [link: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/29/us/politics/comedian-is-subpoenaed-in-inquiry-on-russia-meddling.html ], the-

CREDICO
Where's that? I didn't see that.

MORANO
Well- It was November 29th. So- So- Evidently, you have been subpoenaed to testify before the House Intelligence Committee, is that true? Did you receive the subpoena?

CREDICO
Yes. I have the subpoena, yes.

MORANO
And so-

CREDICO
It's on December 15th, I get to go, my big Christmas present.

MORANO
Wow! It's gonna be worth the price of-

CREDICO
Would you like to have half of it?

MORANO
[laughs] Naw! But- So- According to the Time article, a person familiar with what the House uh House Intelligence Committee is doing, said that you had been identified as the intermediary between Roger Stone and Julian Assange. The founder of Wikileaks. Can you tell us if that's true?

CREDICO
I can't- Uh I don't know if that's the case, if I was the Santa Claus, that went into the chimney and got all the emails of Hillary Clinton, and John Podesta, dropped them off in Miami, at Roger's abode. From the embassy. So, you know- But we'll find out. It's an interesting- interesting allegation, isn't it?

MORANO
It certainly is interesting. So, you're- you're definitely not denying, you're not saying that it's _not_ true.

CREDICO
Yes, I'm the same guy that did- whatshisname's voice, uuuuuuuh Eliot Spitzer's father. Called him up at three in the morning.

MORANO
Right. If people don't remember what Randy's talking about, Roger- [reference to when Roger Stone made a threatening phone call to Eliot Spitzer's father, and claimed that it was, in fact, Credico; despite this, the two men were reconciled enough that Credico would run as senator on the Anti-Prohibition Party ticket in 2011; the APP was established by Stone, and he ran the APP campaign of Kristin Davis for governor; audio of the phone call and a clip of Stone's voice for comparison can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDtfEK4Bzto ]

CREDICO
It takes a whole hour, Fred- uh Frankie. Takes a whole hour to get through all of this. Now, I am- They...no. I don't know, I haven't seen anything but the letter, from the...House committee. To just testify about Russia-gate. Says that I'm the guy, I don't know if you see uuuuuh Bullwinkle and- "Rocky and Bullwinkle", I'm Boris. And my girlfriend Natasha, we were in London, and we got a whole bunch of emails, and we dropped them off with our Russian agent in Miami, Florida.

MORANO
Well- So-

CREDICO
YOU GOTTA LAUGH AT THIS! C'MON, FRANK!

MORANO
I'm- [forced laugh] I'm trying. Alright, Randy, we gotta run, I'm sorry we didn't have much time-

CREDICO
Imagine if we had a full hour together, how we could play with this.

MORANO
I'm just afraid uh you know, I'm afraid to schedule it, because you- it might end up, you'll show up in the afternoon. So. We'll see what happens.

CREDICO
Well, listen, at least I did show up.

MORANO
That's for sure. That's for sure.

CREDICO
I'm sorry I wasn't there at three o'clock. But if you had...if you had a letter, with Adam Schiff's name on it, right? And all these other big shots, from the House committee, and they're very serious, all this stuff from Flynn and everything, you get one of those, it would interrupt your sleeping pattern, wouldn't it?

MORANO
That's for sure. Absolutely. Without a doubt, Randy-

CREDICO
Well, that's what it did to me!

MORANO
I gotcha, Randy. Thank you very very much, and I hope we can chat before your testimony before the House Intelligence Committee. That's Randy Credico, a satirist. Who you can hear regularly on Pacifica radio stations around the country. And who claims to now be drug free.
