Speaker 1: Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio quote.
Speaker 1: It will be very unfair in the future when they
Speaker 1: don't have Trump to fight for them unquote. That quote
Speaker 1: might be the biggest headline Trump has made this year,
Speaker 1: and it's sailed right past the American news media almost
Speaker 1: in its entirety yesterday. What the hell did he mean
Speaker 1: by that? And more importantly, why did he suddenly acknowledge
Speaker 1: there is an end? Maybe soon? Do I get my
Speaker 1: choice of dates? The president is still unwell, and the
Speaker 1: president is still unhinged, and the media is still not
Speaker 1: talking about it. But in a bizarre twist, now Trump
Speaker 1: himself may be talking about it. It would have been
Speaker 1: so ordinary from anybodybody else that nearly everybody else missed
Speaker 1: it in the second and third sentences of an otherwise ordinary,
Speaker 1: self obsessed social media post yesterday morning, here it comes.
Speaker 1: Let me read the quote again with a little more context.
Speaker 1: The fake spin is so bad for Republicans that it
Speaker 1: is hard to believe that we win. It will be
Speaker 1: very unfair in the future when they don't have Trump
Speaker 1: to fight for them unquote. When they don't have Trump
Speaker 1: to fight for them. This may actually be Trump's first
Speaker 1: admission of his life that he is not immortal, eternal,
Speaker 1: and in charge forever. It certainly is the first time
Speaker 1: he's admitted it to his base. And do not underestimate
Speaker 1: the ability of his base to convince themselves of the
Speaker 1: impossible they ascribed to QAnon. Half of them thought JFK
Speaker 1: and JFK Junior weren't really dead, aren't really dead, or
Speaker 1: we're dead. But they got better when they don't have
Speaker 1: Trump to fight for them. By Felicia, the phrase he
Speaker 1: used it about Republicans will shock his cult to its court,
Speaker 1: will be very unfair in the future when they don't
Speaker 1: have Trump to fight for them. Who is he telling
Speaker 1: to prepare for that future? Because the wanton disregard for
Speaker 1: the Constitution and the laws that protect America from people
Speaker 1: like them has seemingly snapped completely off the likes of
Speaker 1: Christy Nome and Tom Holman and JV. Vance and harm
Speaker 1: Meat Dylan and heg Seth and all the others who
Speaker 1: have apparently forgotten the laws of well law. And think
Speaker 1: of Stephen Miller, broken, unstable, terroristic, fueled by revenge fantasies,
Speaker 1: hoping for bloodshed, paranoid. Then that was before this weekend,
Speaker 1: when he got way worse and seemed to be trying
Speaker 1: to convince the craziest in his group to take action
Speaker 1: violent vigilante action right now, stochastic terror is the definition.
Speaker 1: It was as if somebody had just told him for
Speaker 1: the time that one day soon they won't have Trump
Speaker 1: to kick it around for them anymore. Quoting Trump, it
Speaker 1: will be very unfair in the future when they don't
Speaker 1: have Trump to fight for them. Huh, Moron Miller in
Speaker 1: a moment. But first to the fat tub of goo
Speaker 1: in the White House, after being mia for five days,
Speaker 1: no live public viewing of him, just one video that,
Speaker 1: according to White House time stamps, took more than two
Speaker 1: hours to produce, even though it only required him to
Speaker 1: try to speak for a minute and ten. He emerged
Speaker 1: with what was even for him such an utterly bizarre
Speaker 1: and especially vulnerable admission. He was out of you for
Speaker 1: five days. Five from that bizarre please clap speech in
Speaker 1: front of the generals at Quantico on Tuesday, the Pete
Speaker 1: Hegseth International Day of Military Haircare Symposium and product sampling,
Speaker 1: he was out of sight through yesterday morning, when he
Speaker 1: managed to stagger out of the White House blast a
Speaker 1: series of non sequiturs of the press pool then go
Speaker 1: to another military celebration for which we have the money,
Speaker 1: even in the middle of his shutdown of the government,
Speaker 1: and make almost no sense whatsoever. Even for him, nobody asked,
Speaker 1: how have you been? Where have you been? What are
Speaker 1: they treating you for? What did that post about the
Speaker 1: future mean? Because, again, as in the week he went
Speaker 1: mia at the beginning last month, nobody had a clue
Speaker 1: what would take a man with compulsive talking disease and
Speaker 1: an ego so large it has its own zip code
Speaker 1: from appearing in front of crowds and cameras for five
Speaker 1: days voluntarily. It is absolutely plausible that it is just
Speaker 1: exhaustion and old age finally catching up to him, catching
Speaker 1: up to him and pinning him to the ground. To
Speaker 1: be precise, he is seventy nine with no record of
Speaker 1: having ever gotten a nutrition diet or any exercise or
Speaker 1: good food or good night's sleep or an actual medical exam,
Speaker 1: as opposed to paying a doctor to issue something about
Speaker 1: his immortality this and his greatest life ever that or
Speaker 1: there's something else in play? What's that disease called where
Speaker 1: you seem comparatively functional on day one and then by
Speaker 1: day four you sound like your battery charger broke. And
Speaker 1: then you have to rest all day and not be
Speaker 1: seen or recorded live by any outsider on day five,
Speaker 1: or on day six, or on day seven, or on
Speaker 1: day eight or on day nine, and then on day
Speaker 1: ten you can stand up again and present not normality,
Speaker 1: but what the artists call very similitude, where your sentences
Speaker 1: are the same length as a normal person's and the
Speaker 1: same cadence as a normal person's, and your head movements
Speaker 1: are the same as a normal person's. But what you're
Speaker 1: saying makes very little sense at all. What's that disease called?
Speaker 1: I'm not being snied here, I'm literally asking, what's that
Speaker 1: disease called? Where you can power through for three or
Speaker 1: four days, provided it's almost total seclusion for the next
Speaker 1: five days. Veris similitude? Trump, when he got to the
Speaker 1: Naval Academy yesterday kind of sounded like he was speaking human.
Speaker 1: I hope you're sitting down.
Speaker 2: Please remember I wrote about Osama bin Laden exactly one
Speaker 2: year ago, one year before he blew up the World
Speaker 2: Trade Center, and I said, you gotta watch Osama bin Laden,
Speaker 2: and the fake news would never let me get away
Speaker 2: with that savement unless there's true. But I said one
Speaker 2: year before Tipete Hegseth, I said one year before Wispy.
Speaker 2: In the book I wrote, whatever.
Speaker 3: The hell the title, I can't tell you, but I
Speaker 3: can tell you there's a page and they're devoted to
Speaker 3: the fact that I saw somebody named Osama bin Laden
Speaker 3: and I didn't like it, and you gotta take care
Speaker 3: of him.
Speaker 1: Ironically, the part about him and bin Laden is not
Speaker 1: the crazy part. He actually mentioned bin Laden in a
Speaker 1: book in two thousand that he can't remember the title
Speaker 1: of as some passing and probably not real threat. It's
Speaker 1: the other stuff in there, And I don't really know.
Speaker 1: I can't really count how many different years he just
Speaker 1: conflated there. He's got twenty twenty four in there, exactly
Speaker 1: one year ago, and he's got exactly one year before
Speaker 1: nine to eleven, which will be two thousand. And he
Speaker 1: told Pete Heggsith about bin Laden twenty five years ago,
Speaker 1: and he made up the part about doing anything to
Speaker 1: bin Laden that's supposedly in his book. And then there's
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen and the rigged election of twenty sixteen. Oh no,
Speaker 1: that was twenty twenty All right. I didn't play the
Speaker 1: part about the election for you yet.
Speaker 2: I was president in twenty sixteen, and then they rigged
Speaker 2: the election on me, and.
Speaker 1: Then we caught him.
Speaker 2: Didn't the way we caught him, but you know, we
Speaker 2: had to run it again.
Speaker 3: I'd rented again, and I got two fifty, and I
Speaker 3: got the World Cup and I got the Olympics.
Speaker 1: Can you believe all of it? And oh yes, here's
Speaker 1: the part of the disease where before that, what year
Speaker 1: is it? What year was it? Where am I? Who
Speaker 1: am I? Here's the part of the disease where you
Speaker 1: talk unsupervised to the press and you start revealing that
Speaker 1: your dreams or rumors you read online, or what Stephen
Speaker 1: Miller told you while he was frothing at the mouth,
Speaker 1: or just your trade dreams have now replaced reality completely
Speaker 1: in your mind. And Portland, which is not on fire,
Speaker 1: is on fire. And Judge Karen Immergut, who you appointed,
Speaker 1: is not only somebody else's fault, but she is a man.
Speaker 4: I appointed the judge and he goes like that, So
Speaker 4: I wasn't served. Well, obviously I don't know the judge,
Speaker 4: but if he made that kind of a decision, s
Speaker 4: Portland is burning to the ground. You have had, you
Speaker 4: tell your interrectionist. All you have to do is look
Speaker 4: at that, Look at the television. Turn on your television.
Speaker 4: Breaking newspapers be burning to the ground. The governor, the man,
Speaker 4: the politicians, a petrifice for their lives. Yeaha be gut ought.
Speaker 1: To be a change of the There's your problem right there.
Speaker 1: See there, it is right there. The cleverer of Trump's
Speaker 1: enablers might say, of course he didn't appoint judge Immergut.
Speaker 1: He appointed some guy named Immergut. And here's this woman
Speaker 1: judge whose fault is that not? Trumpies. Still the second
Speaker 1: most alarming event of the last week of our second
Speaker 1: game of Where's Waldo? Trump? Second only two? It will
Speaker 1: be very unfair in the future when they don't have
Speaker 1: Trump to fight for them. Is this business of the
Speaker 1: Friday video about the Middle East and Hamas and Israel.
Speaker 1: At Friday at four thirty five pm Eastern, carol Ian
Speaker 1: Levitt tweets a photo quote behind the scenes as Trump
Speaker 1: responds to Hemmes's acceptance of his peace plan. There's a
Speaker 1: camera on a tripod, and behind it there's a teleprompter
Speaker 1: and here's a pro tip by the way, spend the
Speaker 1: two dollars and put the teleprompe to write in front
Speaker 1: of the camera, or put the teleprompter in the camera lens.
Speaker 1: Put these together. That's how it's done. And it doesn't
Speaker 1: make the reader look shifty eyed, shiftier eyed, and anyway.
Speaker 1: In these pictures that Levitt put out, Trump is recording
Speaker 1: a video at six point fifty four Eastern Friday. That'd
Speaker 1: be two hours and nineteen minutes later. The rapid response
Speaker 1: forty seven account, a title not apparently meant ironically or sarcastically,
Speaker 1: tweets out a seventy second long video of Trump's stumbling
Speaker 1: through something about a deal being close seventy seconds a
Speaker 1: minute ten now of a minute ten video Trump could
Speaker 1: have realistically done with generous rest periods, anything from fifty
Speaker 1: to one hundred and fifty takes in that time, even
Speaker 1: if there were technical problems, even if there was editing
Speaker 1: in there, that isn't a parent on the video, even
Speaker 1: if it had to be stitched together by somebody with AI.
Speaker 1: Even if I'm way off and half of that two
Speaker 1: hours or a nineteen minute presidential gap is editing, phone calls,
Speaker 1: actual presidential stuff. The camera is in there at four
Speaker 1: thirty five PM, and Levitt is the source and her
Speaker 1: post refer to her talking to him, so he didn't
Speaker 1: take a nap. Something is very wrong in Trump Land
Speaker 1: with Trump and whatever it could be, from old age
Speaker 1: to serious illness. It presents in such a way that
Speaker 1: he's fine, you know, fine for him for two three
Speaker 1: days in a row at a fairly grueling schedule, and
Speaker 1: then they have to go and hide him somewhere where
Speaker 1: nobody is allowed to see him live for four or
Speaker 1: five days. What in the hell is wrong with Trump's health?
Speaker 1: Quote it will be very unfair in the future when
Speaker 1: they don't have Trump to fight for them. Unquote. You
Speaker 1: bet your ass to twist a White House phrase. Steven
Speaker 1: Miller should self institutionalize again. If you were Steven Miller
Speaker 1: and they told you recently, hey, if you want to
Speaker 1: go in and kiss Trump's asked, do it now. He's
Speaker 1: not going to be here much longer, literally or figuratively.
Speaker 1: They told you that you might melt down like Stephen
Speaker 1: Miller did on Saturday when those pesky pillars of democracy
Speaker 1: called judges again thwarted Reichs Marshall Miller first when the
Speaker 1: sentence was passed on the transitioning woman who called nine
Speaker 1: one one asking police to please stop them because their
Speaker 1: fantasy about killing Justice Kavanaugh was out of control and
Speaker 1: they were two near Kavanaugh's house basically turning themselves in,
Speaker 1: and the sentence she got was eight years. Miller responded, quote,
Speaker 1: it was a man, and the only just punishment for
Speaker 1: attempting to assassinate a justice is the sentence of death.
Speaker 1: A He used just and justice in the same sentence,
Speaker 1: which is the sign of somebody writing while I impaired two,
Speaker 1: I'll refer you back to the scoreboard theory of one's
Speaker 1: self hatred to explain why Steven Miller is so obsessed
Speaker 1: with gender identity and gender fluidity. But let me add
Speaker 1: ICE's claim. Member Ice is still occasionally believed in MAGA
Speaker 1: circles that it had been boxed in by protesters in Illinois.
Speaker 1: Time to bring in the nukes. Miller's quote, this is
Speaker 1: domestic terrorism and seditious. It's erection. Then came the ruling
Speaker 1: against Trump on using the troops in Oregon, and at
Speaker 1: one fifty nine Steve Reno and Craig Cray, the issue
Speaker 1: before us now is very simple and clear. There is
Speaker 1: a large and growing movement of left wing terrorism in
Speaker 1: this country. It is well organized and funded, and it
Speaker 1: is shielded by far left Democrat judges, prosecutors, and attorneys general.
Speaker 1: The only remedy is to use legitimate state power to.
Speaker 3: Dismantle terrorism and terror networks.
Speaker 4: I'm not crying, you're crying.
Speaker 1: I'm not crying. Then came the big one at nine
Speaker 1: twenty six Saturday night, after he had had seven hours
Speaker 1: to cool down over Portland legal insurrection. The president is
Speaker 1: the commander in chief of the armed force, is not
Speaker 1: an Oregon judge. Portland and Oregon law enforcement, at the
Speaker 1: direction of local leaders, have refused to aid ice officers
Speaker 1: facing relentless terrorists assaultant threats to life. There are more
Speaker 1: local enforcement officers in Oregon than there are guns and
Speaker 1: badgers in the FBI nationwide. This is an organized terror jack.
Speaker 4: On the federal government's officers, of the deployment of troops
Speaker 4: and of necessity defender personnel.
Speaker 1: Our lawyers are government public corner. The Republicans held mommy, mommy, mommy,
Speaker 1: Mommy hates me. The terrorism, of course, is by Trump himself,
Speaker 1: with little irrelevancies of men like Stephen Miller who are
Speaker 1: willing to do anything, and I mean anything, to glom
Speaker 1: onto some of Trump's power. Again, if even Trump is
Speaker 1: failing and beginning to acknowledge it, Stephen Miller is in
Speaker 1: way too deep to get out. He really should take
Speaker 1: advantage of the favorable conditions and check himself in somewhere.
Speaker 1: I've never heard of people who tried to overthrow our
Speaker 1: form of government being prosecuted after they had voluntarily institutionalized themselves.
Speaker 1: But Miller, of course, is more than just a creep
Speaker 1: who looks like a flaccid penis that gained the ability
Speaker 1: to speak sort of remember who these people are. September fourth,
Speaker 1: quote from the Washington Examiner. A judge temporarily blocked the
Speaker 1: Trump administration from accessing the sensitive information of millions of
Speaker 1: South Carolina voters. Circuit Court Judge Diane Goodstein issued a
Speaker 1: temporary restraining order Tuesday, stemming from a loss suit challenging
Speaker 1: whether the South Carolina Election Commission can give voters data
Speaker 1: to the Department of Justice. Harmei Dylon, the flatulent, lapsitting scumbag,
Speaker 1: former personal attorney to Tulsey Gabbard, now Assistant Attorney General,
Speaker 1: then wrote on Twitter x this Justice Department's civil rights
Speaker 1: will not stand for a state court judge's hasty nullification
Speaker 1: of our federal voting laws. I will allow nothing to
Speaker 1: stand in the way of our mandate to maintain clean
Speaker 1: voter rolls. One citizen, one vote, and then an emoji
Speaker 1: that shows her face all screwed up like in real life.
Speaker 1: So what happens yesterday? I'll quote a Twitter post liberal
Speaker 1: South Carolina judge Diane Goudstein. Why that's Diane Goodstein's name.
Speaker 1: Diane Goodstein's home is burning to the ground after an explosion.
Speaker 1: South Carolina Law Enforcement Division is investigating as arson and
Speaker 1: refer attack as Judge Goudstein had been receiving multiple threats.
Speaker 1: Her husband, a former state senator, is in the hospital.
Speaker 1: It will be very unfair in the future when they
Speaker 1: don't have Trump to fight for them, say Trump administration, flunkies,
Speaker 1: he's talking about you. A couple other notes, Why did
Speaker 1: ABC reverse on Kimmel's sudden awareness of the threat and
Speaker 1: all of the goodness inside of Bobb? I maybe maybe not.
Speaker 1: The Independent reporter Marisa Cabis has a more practical explanation.
Speaker 1: Scoop Slash Update Disney saw more than one point seven
Speaker 1: million total paid streaming cancelations during the period September seventeenth
Speaker 1: to twenty third. A Disney source confirms to me the
Speaker 1: total includes Disney plus Kulu and ESPN. Why I've heard
Speaker 1: of them? On Trump and the seventeen trillion he says
Speaker 1: has come in from tariffs, a surprise a White House
Speaker 1: spokesman as has essentially called Trump a liar. Congressman Robert
Speaker 1: Garcia says he wants to see the seventeen trillion. Why
Speaker 1: is the government shut down if there's seventeen trillion? Quote,
Speaker 1: if this keeps going, we're going to have to investigate
Speaker 1: where the hell thos seventeen trillion are? Garcia added minus
Speaker 1: two points from mixing on your corrections there to that,
Speaker 1: the White House spokesman basically, well, I'll just read it.
Speaker 1: This is astonishingly stupid, even for a Democrat. White House
Speaker 1: spokesman Cush Decide told The Independent. Instead of calling on
Speaker 1: the federal government to somehow appropriate trillions in investment commitments
Speaker 1: by private companies to make and hire in America, blah
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. So you're saying here that when
Speaker 1: Trump said that seventeen trillion dollars being taken in seventeen
Speaker 1: trillion dollars in money he's gotten from other countries because
Speaker 1: of the tariffs. That's not what it is. It's just
Speaker 1: trillions in investment commitments by private company. Anyone has nothing
Speaker 1: to do with the government. Did you just say Trump
Speaker 1: was a liar spokesperson? Cush cushy job, Cush de Si
Speaker 1: and another self foot shooting and rake stepping by Maga
Speaker 1: russ vote tweets. Nearly eight billion in green new scam
Speaker 1: funding to fuel the left climate agenda being canceled. More
Speaker 1: info to come from at Energy. The projects are in
Speaker 1: the following states Ca, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Huhhhi, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota,
Speaker 1: New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Vermont, Washington,
Speaker 1: will Raglan at cap Action then notes quote I count
Speaker 1: six House Republicans in toss up or lean seats that
Speaker 1: have a project that fought canceled in their district Ciscomani
Speaker 1: Arizona six, Evans, Colorado eight, Ladadeo, California twenty two, Kim
Speaker 1: twenty two, forty in California and Calvert, California forty one,
Speaker 1: and Lawler, New York seventeen. Oh, poor Lawler's s out
Speaker 1: of luck. Bye, and one more thank you to Howard Lutnick,
Speaker 1: who really should be called nut Lick for this one,
Speaker 1: and the Murdoch International idiot Miranda Divine. They did a podcast.
Speaker 1: I'll just read the New York Post version of this.
Speaker 1: When asked by Divine whether Epstein, oh would that be
Speaker 1: jeff Epstein? When Jeffrey Epstein's rich and powerful associates, including
Speaker 1: the likes of Prince Andrew and Microsoft founder Bill Gates,
Speaker 1: always the first two names I think of when I
Speaker 1: think of Epstein. Trop When asked how they could hang
Speaker 1: around with him and not see what you saw or
Speaker 1: did they see it and ignore it, Lutnick responded, they participated.
Speaker 1: People who hung around with Epstein participated. To continue Lutnick,
Speaker 1: they get a massage. That's what his mo O was,
Speaker 1: get a massage. Get a massage. And what happened in
Speaker 1: that massage room, Lutnick says, I assume was on video.
Speaker 1: The Commerce secretary went on, this guy was the greatest
Speaker 1: blackmailer ever, blackmailed people. That's how he had money. End quote. Wait, wait,
Speaker 1: let's see, I'm trying to put this all together. Howard Lutnick.
Speaker 1: You're saying that people who hung around with Epstein. Epstein
Speaker 1: would then get them into the massage room and then
Speaker 1: videotape them and then use a videotape of them getting
Speaker 1: a massage to blackmail them. Who was it again, used
Speaker 1: to hang out with Epstein? What was that one guy's name? Damn?
Speaker 1: I just can't remember. Well, so that'd interest here. So
Speaker 1: somebody is banging on your city hall office front door,
Speaker 1: demanding to use the bathroom. And she says she's from Ice,
Speaker 1: but a she says she's from Ice, And when does
Speaker 1: Ice say it's from Ice? And she's not wearing a mask?
Speaker 1: And when does Ice not wear masks? I mean, I'm suspicious.
Speaker 1: I'm not letting her in unless unless you count botox
Speaker 1: as a mask. The Christine nome I Gotta Go Poopy story.
Speaker 1: That's next. This is countdown. This is countdown with Keith
Speaker 1: Olberman still ahead on this ediative countdown. It is the
Speaker 1: exact fiftieth anniversary of the day I was assimilated into
Speaker 1: Who the Borg. Yes, the day I became part of
Speaker 1: America's greatest contribution to thought and culture in this world
Speaker 1: for profit broadcasting. Yes, October seventh, nineteen seventy five, when
Speaker 1: I became part of the team responsible for the stuff
Speaker 1: that's just there between the commercials. My first broadcast, Hey,
Speaker 1: it had an audience, it had a sponsor, and my goodness,
Speaker 1: the sponsor was an insurance company. It was a twenty
Speaker 1: minute newscast, of which I did those five minutes, the
Speaker 1: harrowing saga of the night I got there, and the
Speaker 1: trick they pulled on me in things I promised not
Speaker 1: to tell next first, believe it or not, there's still
Speaker 1: more new idiots to talk about. The roundup of the miscreants, morons,
Speaker 1: undonn Kruger VCS specimens who constitute today's other worst persons
Speaker 1: in the world. The runner up worse I gotta tie first.
Speaker 1: This Ian Miles Chong guy online posts all the fascist crap.
Speaker 1: The one of the Musk Echo Chamber guys posts all
Speaker 1: the pro white crap. Ian Miles is also unintentionally giving
Speaker 1: us a live, real time insight into how the process works.
Speaker 1: In the process known as I didn't think the Leopards
Speaker 1: would eat my face quote Don Lemon, he writes says
Speaker 1: white people are innately violent and do not know anything
Speaker 1: apart from violence. Weird. How come you rarely see whites
Speaker 1: chimping out over a dollar's worth of ketchup at fast
Speaker 1: food restaurants? Why do most people prefer to have white
Speaker 1: neighbors instead of blacks? As an aside, he's capitalized white
Speaker 1: and not capitalized blacks until it is too late and
Speaker 1: Maga turns on him, and he suddenly realizes that Ian
Speaker 1: Miles Chong will never understand whose faces Maga leopards eat.
Speaker 1: They eat the faces of people of color. Ian is Malaysian.
Speaker 1: I don't care. I don't think you care. I had
Speaker 1: to look this up and look at a bunch of
Speaker 1: photos to see whether or not my very unpracticed I
Speaker 1: was wrong on this. But Ian, the Magas don't like
Speaker 1: people of color, and that would be you. They would
Speaker 1: not think of you as as white capital w oh
Speaker 1: my god, capital W white, small b black. They don't like.
Speaker 3: You.
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter what you write, doesn't matter how long you try.
Speaker 1: Eventually they will turn on you sooner or later later
Speaker 1: at best. At best, they throw the people of color
Speaker 1: away or forget they exist. Ask Herman Kine, I always say,
Speaker 1: ask Herman Kine how that worked out for him? When
Speaker 1: you say quote why do most people prefer to have
Speaker 1: white neighbors instead of blacks. And you make nauseating monkey
Speaker 1: analogies about quote chimping unquote, you're just reminding the dumber
Speaker 1: mag is. Hey wait, this guy in the avatar here, Chong.
Speaker 1: What kind of Italian name is Chong? He ain't from
Speaker 1: Staten Island. The rest of the tie the US mint
Speaker 1: they're creating a Trump coin, a Trump semiquinsennial coin, designed
Speaker 1: to celebrate the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary. And by
Speaker 1: the way, the odds are still only about forty and
Speaker 1: one hundred that we get there. I think there is
Speaker 1: some confusion here. It appears this is a commemorative coin
Speaker 1: like you see on late night TV where you see
Speaker 1: Trump selling or whatever. It'll be minted at a value
Speaker 1: of one dollar and presumably sold as a collectible for
Speaker 1: how much will they grift on this? It's worth a dollar,
Speaker 1: so they'll charge nine ninety nine forty nine ninety nine,
Speaker 1: four hundred and ninety nine ninety nine. But three things
Speaker 1: were overlooking. Never mind the grift about which we should celebrate. First,
Speaker 1: the coin is valued at one dollar. Trump's own apparatics
Speaker 1: at the US Treasury have placed a value on him
Speaker 1: of one dollar. Secondly, who the hell designed this thing?
Speaker 1: On one side, the commemoration of his many accomplishments is
Speaker 1: him getting shot. I don't know if anybody who will
Speaker 1: ever hear this likes Trump, but if they did, wouldn't
Speaker 1: they want to celebrate something? I mean, I know his
Speaker 1: crowd is ultra violent and animated by bloodlust and the
Speaker 1: aforementioned mistaken belief that he is immortal. But honestly, that's
Speaker 1: what you celebrate. And here's a picture of the great
Speaker 1: President accidentally cheating death. But the real winners on the
Speaker 1: other side of the coin, the other side of the coin,
Speaker 1: that picture of him, the portrait, the profile, the side view.
Speaker 1: It's so bad. And I know they have less to
Speaker 1: work with every day, obviously, it's so bad. I thought
Speaker 1: at first it was one of those An Telnay's caricatures
Speaker 1: of him from the Washington Post before Bezos took the
Speaker 1: post fascist. As somebody who's always been on the on
Speaker 1: the stout side myself, this reminder, never let them show
Speaker 1: you in portrait, especially if you have the worst combover
Speaker 1: in world history, and you have jowls and you have
Speaker 1: all those chins. My god, one dollar Trump coin. How
Speaker 1: did they price that ten cents of chin? It looks
Speaker 1: like an Antellnay's cartoon. The runner's up worser Department of
Speaker 1: Homeland Security chief Christy Nome, bravely continuing in her post
Speaker 1: despite her midlife crisis, and her ahem, assistant assistant and
Speaker 1: boy toy, Corey Lewandowski. They both say their ISIS operation
Speaker 1: will be at the super Bowl in February. Because bad Bunny.
Speaker 1: Because when I think about undocumented immigrants in this country,
Speaker 1: especially the low percentage of them who are actually more
Speaker 1: dangerous than the average Republican or the average US born
Speaker 1: American or the average Trump. When I think of those
Speaker 1: actually dangerous ones, the first thing I think of, that
Speaker 1: bastard is going to the super Bowl, and he's going
Speaker 1: to spend the average price on a super Bowl ticket
Speaker 1: next February, which will be twelve thousand dollars a ticket.
Speaker 1: That's where we'll find them. We'll find millions of them.
Speaker 1: In fact, I think there'll be a gang banger section
Speaker 1: at the stadium in in Santa Clarice Clara, California. They're
Speaker 1: going to Santa Clara. Oh, look it's MS thirteen. They
Speaker 1: bought their own suite. You know what this is is
Speaker 1: ice at the super Bowl. You know what this is about.
Speaker 1: This is so Lewandowski a Nome can get in for free,
Speaker 1: for free. I mean Trump hasn't paid for a ticket
Speaker 1: to a ball game. So it's like nineteen sixty six.
Speaker 1: But the winner, why it's generally Simo Christy Nome. Again,
Speaker 1: you heard about this video. DHS Secretary Gnome was barred
Speaker 1: from entering the doors slammed shut on her and those
Speaker 1: inside City Hall and broad View, Illinois screamed at her
Speaker 1: during the ice raids of Chicago Land when she tried
Speaker 1: to get into City Hall and Broadview, Illinois because her
Speaker 1: excuse was she can wintin you on the time background.
Speaker 4: Actually can't.
Speaker 5: Thank you. It's interesting, that's why Governor Prisker says this
Speaker 5: co operation to keeping people, saying it was.
Speaker 1: So whyouldn't they let you in? What's been going on here?
Speaker 1: What's been going on here?
Speaker 4: Sexual?
Speaker 1: We're having to go out and do some operations to
Speaker 1: pick up some guys with criminal convictions on them, and
Speaker 1: the city police wouldn't even let us use a restroom. Now,
Speaker 1: obviously pro tip number one, you do not let ice.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, isis in just because they say they have
Speaker 1: to use the bathroom? They're always lying, first of all. Secondly,
Speaker 1: that's a really bad excuse. Thirdly, how do you know
Speaker 1: their ice? I'm suspicious to begin with because ice iceis
Speaker 1: always refuses to identify itself and they're always wearing masks.
Speaker 1: And here's this middle aged woman not wearing a mask.
Speaker 1: I mean, is the botox gonna melt under?
Speaker 4: It?
Speaker 1: Is that the problem? No mask? Says she's Ice? Oh,
Speaker 1: she can't be Ice. Then this middle aged woman shows
Speaker 1: up in the middle of an ice raid, says she's
Speaker 1: from Ice and wants to use your bathroom. Bar the
Speaker 1: door wall, the door up. Besides which I don't get
Speaker 1: nomes raged being denied the use of a bathroom. Why
Speaker 1: didn't she just do what she always does and go
Speaker 1: shit on the American public? Christy, I have to change
Speaker 1: Colorie ninth Briton now Gnome two Day's other worst poofer.
Speaker 4: In the world.
Speaker 1: October seventh, nineteen seventy five. Where were you and what
Speaker 1: were you doing on October seventh, nineteen seventy five. The
Speaker 1: only reason I can answer that question is because there's
Speaker 1: a tape. It's fifty years ago, fifty years ago, fifty
Speaker 1: years ago, and somehow I'm still here. The number one
Speaker 1: story on the countdown and things I promised not to
Speaker 1: tell only I told this already, and I told it
Speaker 1: on October seventh, nineteen seventy five, so now you get
Speaker 1: to listen to it again. I was sixteen years old.
Speaker 1: I was in my seventh or eighth week at Cornell University,
Speaker 1: and in my second week or so of training at
Speaker 1: the student owned radio station WVBRFM, and they all played me.
Speaker 1: They all had a big joke on Keith's expence. The
Speaker 1: premise of that evening of October seventh, nineteen seventy five,
Speaker 1: was that I was going to shadow a senior sportscaster
Speaker 1: named Gary Davis, and I would sit with him in
Speaker 1: Studio B at two twenty seven Linden Am during his sportscast,
Speaker 1: and he would give me one, maybe two stories that
Speaker 1: I would read so that my first real broadcast would
Speaker 1: not be quite so traumatic. It was all a lie.
Speaker 1: It was a damned lie. I was standing at the
Speaker 1: edges of the newsroom, periodically summoning the courage to look
Speaker 1: at the copy continually and furiously and noisily disgorging itself
Speaker 1: from the United Press International teletype machine, wondering where this
Speaker 1: Gary Davis guy was. When somebody I did not know,
Speaker 1: and they were all somebody I did not know there
Speaker 1: that night came over and asked you Keith, and I
Speaker 1: nodded phone for you. Hey, kid, it's Jerry Goldberg. Jerry
Speaker 1: was the sports director of the commercial radio station run
Speaker 1: by Cornell students. He sounded exactly that laconic. He was
Speaker 1: one of the ten seniors on the staff. I was
Speaker 1: one of the two freshmen. Listen, he said, find the
Speaker 1: newscast you're Kathy, and get her to give you all
Speaker 1: the sports stories from the UPI wire and start picking
Speaker 1: which ones you're going to do At eleven fifteen. Gary
Speaker 1: Davis will be there around a quarter to eleven. Now,
Speaker 1: I know I told you that Gary was going to
Speaker 1: do the sports cast and you were only going to
Speaker 1: do a story or two. But that was just because
Speaker 1: I didn't want you to get all nervous, so I lied.
Speaker 1: It was all a lie, a danned lie. I didn't
Speaker 1: want you to get all nervous. I wondered what Jerry
Speaker 1: Goldberg thought I would be now as the clock swept
Speaker 1: towards ten PM, and I had about seventy five minutes
Speaker 1: to get the wire copy I had not seen from
Speaker 1: the newscaster I had not met, turn it into a
Speaker 1: five minute sportscast in a manner I did not know,
Speaker 1: find the studio, the whereabouts of which I did not know,
Speaker 1: with the help of a guy named Gary Davis, whom
Speaker 1: I would not recognize when he came in. Oh And
Speaker 1: although my voice was pretty deep, and I had been
Speaker 1: on my high school's radio station with my mentor, Chris Berman,
Speaker 1: I was still only sixteen, and I was the youngest
Speaker 1: of the twenty thousand or so students at Cornell University
Speaker 1: right that night, and my voice was still periodically breaking,
Speaker 1: and it would continue to periodically break through my senior year,
Speaker 1: often with disastrous and hilarious consequences. And now I had
Speaker 1: been though we did not use that term, then played
Speaker 1: it was a lie, a damned lie. I was prepared
Speaker 1: to watch, to learn, to make a cameo, even maybe thirty,
Speaker 1: maybe forty five seconds of terror reading something this guy
Speaker 1: Davis had selected for me. Instead, I was at the
Speaker 1: deep end of the pool. This newscast, that the sportscast
Speaker 1: was part of late edition had listeners and not just commercials.
Speaker 1: It had a sponsor. The sponsor was a prominent local
Speaker 1: insurance agency, the Robertus Boothroyd Agency. Your protection is their profession.
Speaker 4: This was a.
Speaker 1: Hybrid, this WVVVR. It was training station for students, but
Speaker 1: it was also one of the eight experimental licenses granted
Speaker 1: by the FCC in the nineteen thirties. We were not
Speaker 1: public radio, We were not non commercial. We sold, produced,
Speaker 1: and ran advertising. Before I was done there, I did
Speaker 1: the local commercials for the JC Pennett Penny Department stores. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I remember little of the rest of that night. Gary
Speaker 1: Davis finally showed up, said I'd made good story selections.
Speaker 1: Another veteran sportscaster showed up, and they escorted me into
Speaker 1: the studio exactly like I'd seen them escort every prisoner
Speaker 1: down every final mile in every prison movie. The room
Speaker 1: was so quiet that I could literally hear the second
Speaker 1: hand moving on the big clock. I think I had
Speaker 1: an out of body experience. I think I could see
Speaker 1: myself from about the perspective of that big clock up
Speaker 1: on the wall. I know for certain that Gary Davis
Speaker 1: had encouraged me to place one arm around the microphone
Speaker 1: stand and hold the ten small pieces of canary yellow
Speaker 1: wire copy with the thumb and forefinger of both hands,
Speaker 1: so that when I was finished reading the first page.
Speaker 1: Only then did it occur to me that I had
Speaker 1: to move my hands, which were frozen with fright, remove
Speaker 1: the top page out of that stack of ten pages,
Speaker 1: not drop the other one, and not knocked the microphone over.
Speaker 1: And while I was thinking of this, a red light
Speaker 1: went on and.
Speaker 5: Late edition sports Ken Griffy has scored the go ahead
Speaker 5: run on a sacrifice fly in the top of the
Speaker 5: tenth inning to give Cincinnati at fourty three wad over Pittsburgh.
Speaker 5: A red victory would clinch the National League. Pennant Tonight,
Speaker 5: Pete Rose had a two run homer in the eighth
Speaker 5: inning off pirate starter John Candelaria. Candelaria, a rookie, had
Speaker 5: allowed only one hit and struck out fourteen through seven innings.
Speaker 1: I mentioned some names that any fan would recognize even now,
Speaker 1: Ken Griffy, Pete Rose, Joe Morgan, Tom Sever Terry Bradshaw.
Speaker 1: But the first non baseball story was about last ditch
Speaker 1: efforts to save the World Football League. I did not
Speaker 1: write a word of it except my own name at
Speaker 1: the beginning and the end, and I was so scared
Speaker 1: that when it came to my own name, I mispronounced
Speaker 1: it twice.
Speaker 5: Rambling in Wittenberg Colleges remain the top small college football
Speaker 5: teams in the nation, and the latest fan caa pole
Speaker 5: that's late edition Sports. I'm Keith Oberman.
Speaker 1: Good night, Yes Oberman. That's what it said on the paper.
Speaker 1: If it had said I'm Keith green Cheese, I would
Speaker 1: have said, I'm Keith green Cheese. Now, obviously I still
Speaker 1: have this tape, but basically it's sixteen year old Keith
Speaker 1: whispers like that for nearly five minutes. The guy in
Speaker 1: the next dorm room was good enough to record it
Speaker 1: to me or for me. Jeff Holling said, I'm not
Speaker 1: going to subject you to it here, but since I
Speaker 1: have it, I will play the whole thing at the
Speaker 1: end of this program, literally after the credits. I mean,
Speaker 1: why not. What amazes me in retrospect is that nearly
Speaker 1: four years and certainly two thousand sportscasts later, on July tenth,
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine, I fell victim to the exact same
Speaker 1: trick again. When I got my first full time job
Speaker 1: at United Press Internationals Radio network in nineteen seventy nine,
Speaker 1: my boss, Sam Rosen, the one who still does the
Speaker 1: New York Rangers hockey games on TV, told me to
Speaker 1: come in at five am one morning to watch him
Speaker 1: do the morning shift. I sat in the studio as
Speaker 1: he barked out the sportscasts at six forty five and
Speaker 1: seven forty five and eight forty five, and as soon
Speaker 1: as he signed off with rum a sports task of
Speaker 1: United Press International, I'm Sam Rosan. He looked at me
Speaker 1: and said, you got it. I sure hope you do,
Speaker 1: because you're doing the nine forty five. It was all
Speaker 1: a lie, another damned lie. Back at my college station,
Speaker 1: one of my former trainees doing the midday news shift,
Speaker 1: who had had no idea I had even gotten the
Speaker 1: job at UPI went over to check the wire machine
Speaker 1: and saw an advisory from UPI Audio which read, Keith
Speaker 1: Olderman will do the nine forty five am sports cast today.
Speaker 1: She let out a scream, and so that ancient artifact,
Speaker 1: that piece of yellow wire copy printed out on the
Speaker 1: same machine from which I pulled the stories from my
Speaker 1: first sports cast four years before, still exists framed on
Speaker 1: my wall. It was yellow and it was new, so
Speaker 1: you can't really say it's yellowed with age. I may
Speaker 1: have yellowed with age. UPI is basically gone now. WVBR
Speaker 1: is still going strong. I mean, I'm proud to say
Speaker 1: the Olberman Cornelius Studios in Ithaca, New York, and in
Speaker 1: an oddity that I still enjoy My college debut was
Speaker 1: on ten to seven and my network debut was on
Speaker 1: seven to ten.
Speaker 5: Late edition Sports Ken Griffy has scored the go ahead
Speaker 5: run on a sacrifice fly in the top of the
Speaker 5: tenth inning to give Cincinnati at four to three lead
Speaker 5: over Pittsburgh. A Red victory would clinch the National League pennant. Tonight,
Speaker 5: Pete Rose hit a two run homer in the eighth
Speaker 5: inning off Pirates starter John Candelaria. Candelaria, a rookie, had
Speaker 5: allowed only one hit and struck out fourteen through seven innings.
Speaker 5: Cincinnati has just added another run in the tenth. The
Speaker 5: scoring out stands Cincinnati five, Pittsburgh three. Dick Drego came
Speaker 5: on in the eighth inning to get an inning inning
Speaker 5: double play to secure the Boston Red Sox their first
Speaker 5: American League pennant since nineteen sixty seven. Oakland scored two
Speaker 5: runs in the bottom of the eighth, but drego were
Speaker 5: leaving starter Rick Waht induced Joe Rudy to hit into
Speaker 5: a double play with two men on the Red Sox
Speaker 5: five Oakland three. The Red Sox go to the World Series.
Speaker 5: Joe Morgan of Cincinnati and Tom sever of the New
Speaker 5: York Mets have been voted National League Player and Pitcher
Speaker 5: of the Year in a poll up National League players
Speaker 5: by The Sporting News. It's the third such honor receiver,
Speaker 5: who was Pitcher of the Year in nineteen sixty nine
Speaker 5: and nineteen seventy three. He led the league this season
Speaker 5: with twenty two victories and with strikeouts with two hundred
Speaker 5: and forty three. Morgan, a second baseman, was so honored
Speaker 5: for the first time. He batted three twenty seven, with
Speaker 5: seventeen home runs, ninety four runs batted in, and sixty
Speaker 5: seven stolen bases. Turning to football, Chris Hemitur says the
Speaker 5: World Football League will begin a national marketing program in
Speaker 5: an effort to boost sagging attendance figures in the ten
Speaker 5: franchise cities. Himitter says, quote, we're going to try something new.
Speaker 5: Up until this point, the ultimate responsibility for attendance has
Speaker 5: been at the franchise level. The league will now act
Speaker 5: as a coordinator unquote. Himitter met yesterday with John Bassett,
Speaker 5: the owner of the Memphis South, and John Bessaco, owner
Speaker 5: of the Philadelphia Bell Haimitter says attendance is quote the
Speaker 5: most challenging question in our minds unquote. Quarterback Joe Gilliam
Speaker 5: is listed as a doubtful starter for Pittsburgh's game on
Speaker 5: Sunday against Denver, but Terry Bradshaw feels he'll be able
Speaker 5: to float throw again by then. Both quarterbacks were injured
Speaker 5: in Sunday's victory over Cleveland. Bradshaw received a deep cut
Speaker 5: on his right hand, while Gilliam dislocated the index finger
Speaker 5: on his throwing hand. Bradshaw worked out for fifteen minutes
Speaker 5: today admitted there was a little pain, but he said
Speaker 5: he'll be able to hold the ball normally with a
Speaker 5: smaller bandage. Gilliam and Bradshaw ranked as the AFC's number
Speaker 5: two and three passers, behind Cincinnati's Ken Anderson. Also in football,
Speaker 5: defensive back Ken Stone of the Washington Redskins underwent knee
Speaker 5: surgery today for torn ligaments. The club's physician says it'll
Speaker 5: be at least six weeks before the fourth year pro
Speaker 5: from Vanderbilt will be able to run again. On the
Speaker 5: eve of the new season, the NHL Players Association and
Speaker 5: the club owners agreed on a new five year collective
Speaker 5: bargaining agreement. The contract gives a team the right to
Speaker 5: gain compensation for a player who plays out his option
Speaker 5: and signs with another club. The same regulation, called the
Speaker 5: rizzel rule in the NFL, has been the major stumbling
Speaker 5: block to a labour settlement.
Speaker 1: In Pro football.
Speaker 5: Third period goals by Colan Campbell and Still Apps gave
Speaker 5: the Pittsburgh Penguins a forty two victory over the Washington
Speaker 5: Capitols tonight in the opening game of the National Hockey
Speaker 5: League season. Campbell's thirty five foot slap shot snapped a
Speaker 5: two to two tie at the five to forty one
Speaker 5: mark of the final period, and Apps clinched the trium
Speaker 5: with its tally. With eighty four seconds left. Rookie goalie
Speaker 5: Gord Laxton went the distance for Pittsburgh to collect his
Speaker 5: first NHL victory. The United States is expected to dominate
Speaker 5: the track and field program at the Pan American Games
Speaker 5: in Mexico City next week, despite a number of notable absentees.
Speaker 5: Among the headliners skipping the event, our Olympic Marathon champion
Speaker 5: Frank Shorter and world record holders Steve Williams, Rick Waal Huter,
Speaker 5: Dwight Stones, Dave Roberts, and Al Fureback. The NCAA announced
Speaker 5: today it will send eight of America's top college golfers
Speaker 5: to Tokyo later this year to compete against Japan's best collegiates.
Speaker 5: Rambling in Wittenberg Colleges remain the top small college football
Speaker 5: teams in the nation and the latest NCAA poll that's
Speaker 5: Late Edition Sports. I'm Keith Overman, good night.
Speaker 1: I've done all the damage I can do here. Thank
Speaker 1: you for listening. Most of our Countdown music was arranged, produced,
Speaker 1: and performed by Brian Ray and John Phillips Chanel, our
Speaker 1: musical directors of Countdown, and it was produced by Tko Brothers.
Speaker 1: Mister Ray was on guitars, bass and drums. Mister Chanelle
Speaker 1: handled orchestration and keyboards. Our satirical and fithy musical comments
Speaker 1: are by the best baseball stadium organists ever. Nancy Faust
Speaker 1: the Old Woman theme from ESPN two written by Mitch
Speaker 1: Warren Davis courtesy of ESPN, Inc. Is the sports music.
Speaker 1: I was going to do a sports segment today, but
Speaker 1: it would have boiled down to baseball has completely screwed
Speaker 1: up the playoffs. The greatest comeback in divisional history. Cleveland
Speaker 1: came back over two months to erase a fifteen game
Speaker 1: lead by Detroit, and they were rewarded by having to
Speaker 1: beat Detroit again two out of three and the only
Speaker 1: one once. So sorry, not good enough. The greatest comeback
Speaker 1: of all time. And because you'll lost one game too
Speaker 1: many in as playoff system, you're gone. That was the
Speaker 1: whole sports section, So there it is again anyway. Any who,
Speaker 1: other music arranged and performed by the group No Horns
Speaker 1: allowed in My announcer today is my friend Nancy Faust,
Speaker 1: who also did the announcing and the organ Everything else was,
Speaker 1: as always my fault. That's countdown for today, Day two
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty of America held hostage just two hundred
Speaker 1: and three days until the scheduled end of his lame
Speaker 1: duck and lame brain term unless he is moved sooner
Speaker 1: by MAGA and Jeffrey Epstein, or the pavement on his
Speaker 1: hand or a stuck escalator or a psychopathy test or
Speaker 1: tile and all, or that judge guy he doesn't like,
Speaker 1: who's actually a girl, Or if he says once again,
Speaker 1: someday soon you won't have Trump to kick around anymore,
Speaker 1: or whatever the quote was. The next scheduled countdown is Thursday.
Speaker 1: Until then, I'm Keith Alderman. Good morning, good afternoon, good night,
Speaker 1: and good luck. Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production
