JOE SCARBOROUGH: You always talk about how we always put a dreamer out there, and we always believe, but in the end, machine always beats the man, John Henry always dies at the end --

SCARBOROUGH: The railroad always win.
MATTHEW: Ugh, you're breaking my heart with my own story. It's a heartbreaking story. It's a heartbreak.
MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Bringing tears to his eyes!
SCARBOROUGH: This morning, is it not the case, this morning, Wednesday morning on January 30th, can we not say with certainty that once again the dreamer has died and the machine has won?
MATTHEWS: [Long pause punctuated by audible sigh.]
BRZEZINSKI: Wow! He's gonna cry!
