For those MB readers who canโt watch videos at work, hereโs the transcript for Stephenโs post below. Let me just highlight another Matthews mix up:
MATTHEWS: Iโm not going to continue with this interview unless you answer what that thing is. What did Chamberlain do in โ39? Tell me, in โ38. What did he do? What did he do?
And thisโฆ
MATTHEWS: You are talking about a critical point in American history, in European history, and you canโt tell me what Neville Chamberlain did in Munich. What did he do in โ39, โ38?
More datesโฆ
MATTHEWS: I have been sitting here five minutes asking you to say what the president was referring to in 1938 at Munich.
And finished with this:
MATTHEWS: You donโt know what youโre talking about. Your problem, Kevin, is, you donโt know what youโre talking about.
And the problem is, you donโt understand thereโs a difference between talking to the enemy and appeasing. What Neville Chamberlain did wrong, most people would say, is not talking to Hitler, but giving him half of Czechoslovakia in โ38. Thatโs what he did wrong, not talking to somebody.
At least Matthews got his dates right at the end. But as Stephen pointed out, still clueless on the Cole.
