    So I’m trying to search for that clip and I can’t find one. It’s been debunked by Reuters in 2020. Do you have anything besides your memory?

      “He was a guest on the February 7, 2011 show”

      Surely BTN or some other torrent tracker has that episode. I’ll look it up after work and report back.

        Yeah the episode exists, it’s linked in the debunk article by Reuters. He talks about running, does not say anything like the quote, that has been debunked many times.

        So if you find it let us know. I’m sufficiently convinced he did not say that (in a recording)

      I mean I have the Facebook post with the clip that we all posted and talked about that shows up in our Facebook memories every year. The clip has been removed from YouTube though, and the debunking sites all seem to reference some article that has nothing to do with the clip. I wish I had downloaded the video, but I had no idea it was going to get so thoroughly scrubbed, or even that it COULD be. The replies and comments on our Facebook all talk about the quote directly.
