WEBVTT - NOT JUST A RE-POST: TRUMP SAYS BIDEN WAS "CLONED," "EXECUTED" - 6.2.25 0:00:04.795 --> 0:00:24.835 Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. Trump 0:00:25.035 --> 0:00:30.235 believes Biden was cloned and then executed five years ago. 0:00:32.355 --> 0:00:34.235 Get out the guys with the butterfly, and that's the 0:00:34.235 --> 0:00:38.435 President's brain has finally jumped the shark quote. There is 0:00:38.475 --> 0:00:43.395 no Joe Biden executed in twenty twenty. Biden clones, doubles, 0:00:43.515 --> 0:00:49.035 and robotic engineered, soulless, mindless entities are what you see. 0:00:51.115 --> 0:00:54.115 If you hear or read that this was Trump reposting 0:00:54.235 --> 0:00:57.555 something that some other lunatic wrote on Trump's social media site, 0:00:57.875 --> 0:01:00.875 or that this was Trump trolling, or this was Trump 0:01:01.035 --> 0:01:05.755 owning the libs, this is incorrect, and more importantly, it 0:01:05.875 --> 0:01:12.955 minimizes the severity of Trump's accelerating complete mental breakdown. He 0:01:14.075 --> 0:01:19.115 believes this, or at least he believed it when he 0:01:19.235 --> 0:01:22.555 posted it shortly after ten pm Eastern Saturday night, Because 0:01:22.595 --> 0:01:25.915 if you parse this post of his on his social 0:01:25.995 --> 0:01:30.715 media site, a dangerous exercise in the best of circumstances, 0:01:30.995 --> 0:01:36.035 it is clear he did not simply repost something put 0:01:36.035 --> 0:01:38.995 out earlier in the day by another lunatic with the 0:01:39.035 --> 0:01:45.795 handle llijh. Most accounts and even Fox News and The 0:01:45.835 --> 0:01:48.355 New York post had no choice but to write up 0:01:48.395 --> 0:01:53.635 this disqualifying bout of madness. Most accounts suggest Trump himself 0:01:53.675 --> 0:01:59.515 added no comment to the original this is incorrect. Unlike 0:01:59.595 --> 0:02:04.995 the original, Trump's version of this includes a photo he 0:02:05.595 --> 0:02:10.275 has added. The photo is the avatar from the original 0:02:10.595 --> 0:02:15.875 Lligh account, a retouched black and white shot of Trump 0:02:16.115 --> 0:02:19.995 with his current head and its overtone of melting plastic, 0:02:20.675 --> 0:02:23.955 but with what his eyes looked like forty or fifty 0:02:24.035 --> 0:02:27.435 years ago. He is also shown giving a V signal 0:02:27.715 --> 0:02:33.635 with two fingers. The photo in the original post. It's 0:02:33.675 --> 0:02:36.755 the same photo, but it's in a tiny circular thumbnail, 0:02:36.835 --> 0:02:40.195 maybe half an inch in diameter. The photo on Trump's 0:02:40.275 --> 0:02:45.875 version is square and full sized. Trump added to the 0:02:45.915 --> 0:02:51.035 original post added a photo. If you repost something on 0:02:51.075 --> 0:02:54.555 Trump's site, the avatar does not automatically blow up to 0:02:54.595 --> 0:02:57.795 full size like this. This was deliberate. This was done 0:02:57.875 --> 0:03:02.675 at Trump's end of the equation. Trump did this. It's 0:03:02.715 --> 0:03:07.875 not just somebody calling themselves l LJH so lost in 0:03:07.915 --> 0:03:11.715 the quicksand that is the lunatic right that they added 0:03:11.755 --> 0:03:14.835 to their fever dream of clones and doubles and robots, 0:03:15.395 --> 0:03:21.035 seventy hashtags and forty five different account handles, including the 0:03:21.115 --> 0:03:28.995 hashtags sports and MSNBC. This is not somebody else's work. 0:03:29.235 --> 0:03:33.715 This is Trump seeing somebody else's work and adding his 0:03:33.955 --> 0:03:37.595 own photo to it, with his fingers raised in what 0:03:37.755 --> 0:03:44.755 could be a victory signal. Trump's inability to separate fantasy 0:03:44.835 --> 0:03:48.355 and wish fulfillment and lies and all the rest from 0:03:48.435 --> 0:03:52.115 reality comes in all possible forms and flavors, and runs 0:03:52.195 --> 0:03:55.675 on parallel tracks twenty four hours a day. There are 0:03:55.755 --> 0:03:59.355 things about which he is always crazy, and things about 0:03:59.355 --> 0:04:02.475 which he is only periodically crazy, and things he can 0:04:02.555 --> 0:04:05.355 be crazy about one minute and then forget the next, 0:04:05.835 --> 0:04:09.075 and things he's crazy enough to not actually believe himself 0:04:09.355 --> 0:04:14.515 but wants others to believe. This tends to diminish the 0:04:14.555 --> 0:04:19.315 fact that all of it is like Trump himself crazy. 0:04:21.075 --> 0:04:24.235 No matter what your explanation for this is, or mine, 0:04:24.395 --> 0:04:27.395 or Foxes or his enablers, this country cannot have a 0:04:27.475 --> 0:04:32.715 president who promulgates theories that his predecessor or anybody else 0:04:33.235 --> 0:04:38.755 was a clone, or a body double or a robot. 0:04:39.475 --> 0:04:44.875 The dynamic tension keeping someone this damaged and disturbed from deciding, Hey, 0:04:45.395 --> 0:04:49.195 now's the right moment to nuke the world, because don't worry, 0:04:49.315 --> 0:04:53.675 the people I like won't be affected. That dynamic tension 0:04:53.795 --> 0:04:57.315 is the same as the dynamic tension keeping a badly 0:04:57.355 --> 0:05:02.195 built bridge upright. It can hold in place for years 0:05:02.315 --> 0:05:08.315 or decades, and then one minute it collapses and kills everybody. 0:05:09.315 --> 0:05:13.275 And do not assume Trump couldn't possibly actually firmly believe 0:05:13.355 --> 0:05:17.395 these QAnon theories that he so happily pedals and profits off. 0:05:18.155 --> 0:05:22.955 Hell this creature. Trump reportedly actually believed Elon Musk when 0:05:23.035 --> 0:05:26.435 Musk promised to slash one trillion dollars from government spending. 0:05:26.875 --> 0:05:30.395 The Wall Street Journal now quotes unnamed administration officials who, 0:05:30.915 --> 0:05:34.395 as they all finally succeeded in chasing the unstable Musk 0:05:34.475 --> 0:05:37.395 out of the White House, who heard Trump ask about 0:05:37.515 --> 0:05:44.475 Musk's promises, quote, was it all bullshit? Of course, it 0:05:44.515 --> 0:05:50.315 was all bullshit. Musk is bullshit for a moment. Put 0:05:50.355 --> 0:05:56.195 aside the Biden clone body double robot posts. If a 0:05:56.315 --> 0:06:03.755 president is lost enough to have actually believed Elon Musk's 0:06:03.795 --> 0:06:09.715 promises weren't bullshit, he is not fit for office nor 0:06:09.795 --> 0:06:12.275 for being out in public, except if he is on 0:06:12.355 --> 0:06:18.075 a leash or in a cage. There is another telling 0:06:18.155 --> 0:06:21.475 excerpt from this subtle verification by The Wall Street Journal 0:06:21.475 --> 0:06:24.155 that even it knows Trump is nuts. I will quote 0:06:24.195 --> 0:06:29.035 the paragraph Trump disliked how critical Musk was toward cabinet 0:06:29.075 --> 0:06:32.915 secretaries and his public attacks on Trade advisor Peter Navarro, 0:06:33.035 --> 0:06:36.955 who Must called a moron and said was dumber than 0:06:36.995 --> 0:06:40.755 a sack of bricks. White House officials said Trump was 0:06:40.995 --> 0:06:45.675 surprised at how nasty Musk was in one cabinet meeting 0:06:45.915 --> 0:06:53.435 toward other members of his administration. Again, if you don't 0:06:53.515 --> 0:07:01.155 recognize Musk's default state bullshit. If you are surprised he's nasty, 0:07:02.795 --> 0:07:09.075 you are crazier than he is. The issue then becomes 0:07:09.075 --> 0:07:13.755 whether you are also more incontinent than he is. Musk 0:07:14.035 --> 0:07:19.275 was reportedly peeing his pants NonStop during the election campaign. 0:07:20.235 --> 0:07:24.835 I don't mean metaphorically, I mean peeing his pants. The 0:07:24.875 --> 0:07:30.395 story has leaked out. Let me quote the New York 0:07:30.435 --> 0:07:34.315 Times from Friday about a text Musk reportedly sent a 0:07:34.355 --> 0:07:38.915 close friend a year ago, last month, May twenty twenty four. Quote. 0:07:38.955 --> 0:07:41.795 Around that time, mister Musk told people that his ketamin 0:07:41.915 --> 0:07:47.035 use was causing bladder issues, According to people familiar with 0:07:47.075 --> 0:07:53.235 the conversations, where's the goddamn Jake Tapper book about this. 0:07:54.995 --> 0:07:58.755 Between this and Trump's revelation that Biden wasn't cognitively challenged 0:07:58.795 --> 0:08:01.315 last year, he was dead and cloned and a robot. 0:08:01.515 --> 0:08:08.155 What does Jake Tapper do now? Bladder issues last may 0:08:08.995 --> 0:08:11.715 maybe not just last maybe maybe not just last year, 0:08:11.755 --> 0:08:14.475 maybe not just on the campaign, the Department of Government 0:08:14.595 --> 0:08:18.675 Efficiency or the Department of Government p efficiency? Am I 0:08:18.755 --> 0:08:24.715 right to again quote The Times? Mister Musk's drug consumption 0:08:24.875 --> 0:08:28.795 went well beyond occasional use. He told people he was 0:08:28.795 --> 0:08:32.555 taking so much ketamine, a powerful anesthetic, that it was 0:08:32.595 --> 0:08:40.035 affecting his bladder, a known effect of chronic use. Now 0:08:40.075 --> 0:08:43.115 what kind of effect could it have on somebody's bladder? 0:08:46.035 --> 0:08:51.755 I think your bladder's on the fritz. Elon, please point 0:08:51.755 --> 0:08:55.115 yourself in the other direction. We know from the Wall 0:08:55.155 --> 0:08:58.395 Street Journal article from January twenty twenty four that the 0:08:58.435 --> 0:09:02.955 Tesla board had been worried about well, to paraphrase The Times, 0:09:03.115 --> 0:09:06.635 Musk being high as a kite. The menu, the Journal 0:09:06.675 --> 0:09:10.475 recounted seventeen months ago now included not just ketamine, but 0:09:10.555 --> 0:09:17.755 also mushrooms, cocaine, ecstasy, and LSD onping and peeing and 0:09:17.795 --> 0:09:20.555 peeing and being to again quote The Times, the Food 0:09:20.595 --> 0:09:23.835 and Drug Administration has formally approved the use of ketamine 0:09:23.875 --> 0:09:27.795 only as an anesthetic in medical procedures. The drug has 0:09:27.835 --> 0:09:32.835 psychedelic properties and can cause dissociation from reality. Chronic use 0:09:32.875 --> 0:09:39.955 can lead to addiction and problems with bladder pain and control. 0:09:43.595 --> 0:09:45.915 A quick thought experiment for you, say this is in 0:09:45.955 --> 0:09:50.395 the New York Times about anybody close to Biden or 0:09:50.435 --> 0:09:57.115 to Kamala Harris, anybody ron Klain, John Podesta, especially John Podesta, 0:09:57.555 --> 0:10:01.435 or broaden the scope, famous people vaguely connected to Biden, 0:10:01.955 --> 0:10:06.195 far less than Musk is connected to Trump, who are 0:10:06.235 --> 0:10:08.475 suddenly declared three times in one article in The New 0:10:08.555 --> 0:10:11.515 York Times as being so strung out they wet their diapers. 0:10:13.475 --> 0:10:16.955 Think of this as being about Taylor Swift after she 0:10:17.155 --> 0:10:23.035 endorsed Kamala Springsteen, de Niro, Cuban, Mark Cuban. There's a 0:10:23.155 --> 0:10:31.635 near comp with Musk. I mean anybody connected to them, anybody, me, anybody. 0:10:32.395 --> 0:10:36.075 The thought experiment, that story breaks about Biden or Harris 0:10:36.155 --> 0:10:40.915 and anybody. What happens next? It depends. 0:10:42.675 --> 0:10:42.755 Now. 0:10:43.035 --> 0:10:46.195 The question is when did the Fox News News Max 0:10:46.235 --> 0:10:50.155 Bench Buro, Joe Rogan Tucker Carlson NonStop coverage. And the 0:10:50.195 --> 0:10:53.595 answer is it didn't. It's still going. It's going now, 0:10:53.755 --> 0:10:57.275 It'll be going on for weeks. I should probably stop 0:10:57.315 --> 0:11:01.915 saying going. Moreover, whenever it did stop, it would only 0:11:01.955 --> 0:11:05.635 be a pause. This story about a Democrat would resurface 0:11:05.875 --> 0:11:09.235 before the midterms, and then as the twenty twenty eight 0:11:09.275 --> 0:11:13.995 Democratic hopefuls emerged, it would start again. An urgent, burning, 0:11:14.395 --> 0:11:18.835 uncontrollable need to go connect the urinary distress of somebody 0:11:18.835 --> 0:11:21.195 who is not the president or would be president to 0:11:21.315 --> 0:11:24.075 the president or would be president, and make it into 0:11:24.115 --> 0:11:27.315 a story about the judgment of the president or would 0:11:27.315 --> 0:11:32.955 be president. In short, top Democratic advisor pease his pants 0:11:33.115 --> 0:11:39.635 all the time. Back to the real story, which is 0:11:39.675 --> 0:11:44.195 not treated in that way. Top Trump advisor pees his pants? 0:11:44.435 --> 0:11:50.515 Why did Trump select him? What's wrong with Trump? Quote? 0:11:50.835 --> 0:11:55.715 Musk traveled with a daily medication box that held about 0:11:55.755 --> 0:11:59.475 twenty pills, including ones with the markings of the stimulant 0:11:59.715 --> 0:12:03.075 adderall according to a photo of the box and people 0:12:03.075 --> 0:12:06.595 who have seen it. It is unclear whether mister Musk 0:12:06.675 --> 0:12:09.795 fifty three, was taking drugs when he became a fixture 0:12:09.795 --> 0:12:11.835 at the White House this year and was handed the 0:12:11.875 --> 0:12:15.715 power to slash the federal bureaucracy. But he has exhibited 0:12:16.155 --> 0:12:21.715 erratic behavior, insulting cabinet members, gesturing like a Nazi and 0:12:21.795 --> 0:12:26.955 garbling his answers in a staged interview. And that's gesturing 0:12:27.915 --> 0:12:34.555 like a Nazi with the arm rigid as a you know, salute, 0:12:35.195 --> 0:12:41.035 and the fingers of the right hand held together, not 0:12:41.235 --> 0:12:44.155 like Corey Booker, whom the right is trying to claim 0:12:44.195 --> 0:12:46.795 did the same thing over the weekend. Booker's fingers were 0:12:46.835 --> 0:12:49.795 spread apart and his arm was bent at the elbow. 0:12:49.875 --> 0:12:56.235 This is what scientists using technical jargon call a quote 0:12:56.755 --> 0:13:05.795 wave goodbye unquote. Moreover, the Democrats correctly Joe Biden out 0:13:05.795 --> 0:13:10.555 of running for reelection in July for far less serious issues, 0:13:10.595 --> 0:13:13.875 certainly far less self induced issues than anything in this 0:13:13.995 --> 0:13:17.195 Elon Musk revelation. And now the Republicans want to stage 0:13:17.235 --> 0:13:21.475 investigations of the Democrats for not doing it fast enough. 0:13:22.235 --> 0:13:26.275 And they have seized upon the auto pen as if 0:13:26.315 --> 0:13:33.835 the auto pen were something alive out of Harry Potter 0:13:34.875 --> 0:13:37.195 that had a life of its own and just hopped 0:13:37.195 --> 0:13:40.755 out of a box and started signing Biden's name without 0:13:40.795 --> 0:13:48.915 his knowledge. And is the autopen a clone two Trump. 0:13:51.235 --> 0:13:56.475 None of the top Trump advisor piece his pants story 0:13:57.475 --> 0:14:03.595 has yet stained the Trump presidency, none of it. Because 0:14:03.595 --> 0:14:05.555 we have somehow reached a point in this country where 0:14:05.675 --> 0:14:08.915 if you are crazy all the time and drugged up 0:14:08.955 --> 0:14:12.875 all the time and losing control of your eliminatory functions 0:14:12.955 --> 0:14:17.875 all the time, it's not news anymore, is it. Trump 0:14:17.955 --> 0:14:23.515 is so gone mentally, and God knows about his bladder. 0:14:24.115 --> 0:14:26.835 The diaper rumors have stunk up the White House for years. 0:14:27.115 --> 0:14:29.435 The whole thing could in fact bring an entirely different 0:14:29.475 --> 0:14:34.355 meaning to the phrase pe tape. Anyway, Trump is so 0:14:34.435 --> 0:14:37.315 gone mentally and physically that NBC could report that in 0:14:37.355 --> 0:14:40.755 part of the my God, he's really this nuts collision 0:14:40.795 --> 0:14:45.195 with reality that others like Dan Bongino have encountered. Trump's 0:14:45.315 --> 0:14:49.515 national I have no discernible intelligence Director Telsey Gabbard has 0:14:49.595 --> 0:14:57.835 realized Trump cannot read, won't read, cannot focus long enough 0:14:57.875 --> 0:15:03.115 to read. Has taken in so far just fourteen of 0:15:03.155 --> 0:15:08.115 the president's daily briefings. You know, the pdbs, the things 0:15:08.115 --> 0:15:10.795 that would have told Bush about bin Laden months before 0:15:10.875 --> 0:15:13.715 nine to eleven. But Push also didn't read, and he 0:15:13.795 --> 0:15:17.075 knew everything anyway, And three thousand Americans died because of 0:15:17.115 --> 0:15:23.355 that from NBC. Gabbard has solicited ideas from current and 0:15:23.395 --> 0:15:26.915 former intelligence officials about steps she could take to tailor 0:15:27.075 --> 0:15:33.915 the briefing to Trump's policy interests and habits. One idea 0:15:33.955 --> 0:15:37.675 that's been discussed is possibly creating a video version of 0:15:37.715 --> 0:15:40.755 the PDB that's made to look and feel like a 0:15:40.835 --> 0:15:44.795 Fox News broadcast. Four of the people with direct knowledge 0:15:44.835 --> 0:15:50.675 of the discussion said, how much is it supposed to 0:15:50.675 --> 0:15:53.035 look and feel like Fox News? I mean, is it 0:15:53.115 --> 0:15:57.075 going to be true or like Fox News? Is it 0:15:57.115 --> 0:16:01.315 going to be full of shit? Is it going to 0:16:01.315 --> 0:16:05.475 be presented to him as a Fox News broadcast? Are 0:16:05.475 --> 0:16:08.795 they gonna get Hannity to read it? Maybe David Assman? 0:16:09.995 --> 0:16:13.195 Will there be a weather segment? Here's today's weather? If 0:16:13.195 --> 0:16:20.315 you're president? Will he sit there going? Or Fox News? Er? 0:16:22.315 --> 0:16:26.995 He can't process anything not delivered, not just by TV, 0:16:27.115 --> 0:16:30.595 but not by Fox News liars. He can't process it. 0:16:32.755 --> 0:16:36.915 And his top advisories, at least one of them pee 0:16:36.915 --> 0:16:42.875 their pants. And Biden is a robot, but I guess 0:16:42.995 --> 0:16:46.795 robot Biden's acuity is the story for twenty twenty eight? 0:16:48.635 --> 0:16:53.115 Gotcha one more Trump story to quote from Politico Magazine 0:16:53.155 --> 0:16:56.715 by Michael Cruz quote, I'm supposed to be dead, Donald 0:16:56.755 --> 0:16:58.475 Trump said the day after he got shot at his 0:16:58.555 --> 0:17:01.475 rally last summer in Butler, Pennsylvania. I'm not supposed to 0:17:01.475 --> 0:17:03.795 be here, he said. Four days after that, but something 0:17:03.875 --> 0:17:06.555 very special happened. Let's face it, something happened, he said. 0:17:06.595 --> 0:17:08.995 Two days after that. It's an act of God, he 0:17:09.035 --> 0:17:11.395 said the month after that. God spared my life for 0:17:11.435 --> 0:17:13.315 a reason. He said in his victory speech at Mary 0:17:13.395 --> 0:17:15.555 Lago in November. I was saved by God to make 0:17:15.595 --> 0:17:18.115 America great again, he said in his inaugural address at 0:17:18.115 --> 0:17:20.835 the Capitol in January. It changed something in me, he 0:17:20.875 --> 0:17:23.155 said in his speech at the National Prayer Breakfast at 0:17:23.155 --> 0:17:27.755 the Washington Hilton in February. I feel even stronger. The 0:17:27.755 --> 0:17:31.315 title of the political article is, does Trump actually think 0:17:31.355 --> 0:17:37.915 He's God? Quoting again. Over the last ten or so 0:17:38.075 --> 0:17:41.235 months since Butler, however, and especially since his re election 0:17:41.515 --> 0:17:45.115 and the start of his second administration, Trump's outlook has shifted. 0:17:45.595 --> 0:17:52.075 His rhetoric has gone from borderline nihilistic to messianic. It's 0:17:52.115 --> 0:17:57.235 worth asking does Trump think He's God? Okay, he almost 0:17:57.275 --> 0:18:01.075 certainly doesn't think he's God. But does he think he's 0:18:01.555 --> 0:18:07.595 God likely sanctioned or inspired or empowered? Does he think 0:18:07.635 --> 0:18:11.195 he's somehow imbued with some special sacred purpose for some 0:18:11.315 --> 0:18:15.755 special sacred reason, or did he just see and sees 0:18:15.795 --> 0:18:19.595 an opportunity to stamp his world upending agenda with the 0:18:19.715 --> 0:18:27.275 ultimate justification, a mandate from God. The peace goes on 0:18:27.635 --> 0:18:35.555 longer than God, longer than Musk pees his pants, longer 0:18:36.235 --> 0:18:41.115 than Biden has been a dead clone, Yet it misses 0:18:41.155 --> 0:18:46.035 the essential starting point. Trump has always thought he's God, 0:18:47.035 --> 0:18:51.715 certainly as opposed to thinking he's just another person. He's 0:18:51.755 --> 0:18:54.475 about genetics and what you're born with, and how he's 0:18:54.475 --> 0:18:57.555 the best at everything, and this thing is the greatest 0:18:57.595 --> 0:19:01.315 ever and he alone can save and fix and he 0:19:01.475 --> 0:19:06.115 and he he he he he he. But tell me 0:19:06.155 --> 0:19:12.435 again about Biden's acuity, which the Democrats, however, late went 0:19:12.475 --> 0:19:17.235 in and fixed, while the Republicans will today go in 0:19:17.915 --> 0:19:21.955 and sit in a room with Donald Trump and reassure 0:19:22.035 --> 0:19:29.235 him he is in effect infallible and godlike to say 0:19:29.315 --> 0:19:33.875 nothing of what these same Republicans are still telling Elon Musk, 0:19:35.235 --> 0:19:40.195 besides telling him the men's room is second on the 0:19:40.315 --> 0:20:11.595 left bro A couple more headlines quote. I was new 0:20:11.595 --> 0:20:13.835 to Washington, and it was suggested that I use the 0:20:13.835 --> 0:20:17.715 Federalist Society as a recommending source on judges. I did 0:20:17.755 --> 0:20:20.315 so openly and freely, but then realized that they were 0:20:20.355 --> 0:20:24.835 under the thumb of a real sleezebag named Leonard Leo, 0:20:25.035 --> 0:20:28.635 a bad person who in his own way probably hates 0:20:28.675 --> 0:20:34.755 America and obviously has his own separate ambitions. I cannot 0:20:34.795 --> 0:20:38.555 convey to you what good news there is in this 0:20:39.035 --> 0:20:43.075 relatively anyway, what good news there is in Trump's surprise 0:20:43.195 --> 0:20:47.995 attack and an echoing condemnation of Leonard Leo by Stephen 0:20:48.075 --> 0:20:52.435 Miller on Leonard Leo, the owner and operator of sam 0:20:52.435 --> 0:20:57.395 Alito and Clarence Thomas, and especially Gorsach and Cavanaugh surprise 0:20:57.475 --> 0:21:00.715 attack to us anyway, I was unaware that one of 0:21:00.755 --> 0:21:05.075 the lawsuits against Trump's tariffs was by a group funded 0:21:05.195 --> 0:21:11.635 by Leonard Leo. As an aside, that's Leonard Leo, Cornell 0:21:11.715 --> 0:21:16.755 eighty six, Cornell Law eighty nine, and Cornell's Student Federalist 0:21:16.835 --> 0:21:20.595 Society eighty nine. And you thought I suffered because of 0:21:20.715 --> 0:21:26.475 Ann Coulter eighty four. Back to the main point, simply 0:21:26.475 --> 0:21:30.355 the Trump versus Leo, not the Pope. The Trump versus 0:21:30.475 --> 0:21:33.955 Leo thing is good news because, as Ellie Misstyle points out, 0:21:34.235 --> 0:21:38.515 Leo and the Federalist Society envision Supreme Court justices like 0:21:38.595 --> 0:21:43.515 fifty two year old James C. Ho, the Taiwan born 0:21:43.635 --> 0:21:47.915 fascist with the completely accurate last name, and forty six 0:21:47.955 --> 0:21:53.675 year old Andrew Oldham, whom George will adores. But left 0:21:53.675 --> 0:21:57.355 to his own devices, without the influence of Leonard Leo 0:21:57.435 --> 0:22:01.355 and the Federalist Society, Trump would probably pick Justice Eileen 0:22:01.795 --> 0:22:05.035 I used to cover Flamenco for the Miami Nuevo Old 0:22:05.115 --> 0:22:10.355 Cannon and best of all, Justice Janine I turned seventy 0:22:10.355 --> 0:22:14.275 four tomorrow, Tutz. But now that wine comes in boxes, 0:22:15.955 --> 0:22:28.755 you just never know, do Yeah. The Trump May Day 0:22:28.875 --> 0:22:32.995 in June parade a week from Saturday. He thinks he's 0:22:32.995 --> 0:22:36.075 being sneaky and nobody realizes he scheduled it for his 0:22:36.115 --> 0:22:40.475 own birthday, will not only do per the military's own estimate, 0:22:40.795 --> 0:22:45.835 sixteen million dollars worth of damage to the streets of Washington. 0:22:47.155 --> 0:22:50.195 Three million of that goes to metal plates that have 0:22:50.275 --> 0:22:54.555 to be installed, or the tanks trying to make right 0:22:54.635 --> 0:22:58.475 turns onto DuPont Circle or wherever will go right through 0:22:58.515 --> 0:23:04.315 the dam pavement. Trump's masturbatory parade will not only do 0:23:04.435 --> 0:23:09.195 that sixteen million dollars worth of structural damage to the 0:23:09.235 --> 0:23:11.915 streets that have to be repaired, but it will also 0:23:11.995 --> 0:23:15.715 give him yet another chance to abuse those who actually 0:23:15.915 --> 0:23:22.475 served in Vietnam. The Vietnam Vet's Memorial Fund has held 0:23:22.515 --> 0:23:27.195 an in Memory ceremony in DC since nineteen ninety three. 0:23:27.235 --> 0:23:29.355 For more than a decade, it has been held on 0:23:29.395 --> 0:23:32.675 the day before Father's Day. It has always been held 0:23:33.075 --> 0:23:37.915 at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, which has slowly, unexpectedly, but 0:23:38.075 --> 0:23:43.275 unmistakably become one of the most moving and unforgettable such 0:23:43.315 --> 0:23:49.035 places in the world. Twenty twenty five in Memory ceremony 0:23:49.275 --> 0:23:55.675 was and remains scheduled four June fourteenth. It will be 0:23:55.755 --> 0:24:03.875 held at the George Washington Masonic National Memorial in Alexandria, Virginia, 0:24:03.915 --> 0:24:09.435 because the Vietnam No Memorial is on June fourteenth off 0:24:09.515 --> 0:24:21.875 limits because of Trump's jerk off parade. Two events most 0:24:21.875 --> 0:24:24.715 in the news have not connected yet. Ukraine's drone attack 0:24:24.755 --> 0:24:28.435 on Russian air bases destroyed at least forty Russian bomber aircraft, 0:24:28.475 --> 0:24:32.275 a total surprise planned according to President Zelenski for at 0:24:32.355 --> 0:24:35.795 least a year. And it turns out second half of 0:24:35.835 --> 0:24:38.835 this equation the United States did not know about this 0:24:38.995 --> 0:24:43.315 attack in advance, and you know why it worked because 0:24:43.715 --> 0:24:46.355 the United States did not know about it in advance. 0:24:48.155 --> 0:24:51.315 The timing also means that one of the reasons Zelensky 0:24:51.395 --> 0:24:53.915 was able to maintain his cool in the White House 0:24:54.675 --> 0:24:57.395 rather than you know, doing what you or I would 0:24:57.435 --> 0:25:01.555 have done, and at least headbudded that foppish imbecile JV. 0:25:01.755 --> 0:25:06.435 Vance as he and immune headmon she made Trump brow 0:25:06.555 --> 0:25:09.315 beat him about not having any cards. One of the 0:25:09.355 --> 0:25:12.235 reasons he was able to hold his cool was he 0:25:12.315 --> 0:25:17.155 was probably thinking about the drone plan. And speaking of drones, 0:25:18.075 --> 0:25:21.675 you've already heard the Senator Jonie Ernst We're all going 0:25:21.715 --> 0:25:24.955 to die town hall clip and then her follow up 0:25:24.995 --> 0:25:28.715 insult to every human whose death she has personally hastened 0:25:28.915 --> 0:25:32.915 because she is a lying holier than thou fascist. I 0:25:32.995 --> 0:25:35.955 would like to play only the part at the end 0:25:36.075 --> 0:25:40.075 of that second clip when she invites people interested in 0:25:40.275 --> 0:25:43.835 not dying to join her savior. 0:25:44.275 --> 0:25:49.675 For those that would like to see eternal and everlasting live, 0:25:50.475 --> 0:25:55.475 I encourage you to embrace my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 0:25:56.195 --> 0:26:01.635 Three notes this would ring less hollow if there had 0:26:01.635 --> 0:26:05.755 been anything in her life that suggested Ernst had actually 0:26:05.955 --> 0:26:10.915 read the words of Christ. Two, if the words of 0:26:10.995 --> 0:26:15.435 Christ and those of any religion more or less are correct, Ms. 0:26:15.595 --> 0:26:20.435 Ernst is going to hell because no, I'm sorry. Faith 0:26:20.475 --> 0:26:23.995 is not supposed to be about membership in a particular brand. 0:26:24.755 --> 0:26:32.355 It's supposed to be about selflessness and humanity. And three, 0:26:32.715 --> 0:26:35.195 if Christ heard what you have said this past week, 0:26:35.315 --> 0:26:43.795 Senator Ernst, he would kick you in the face. A 0:26:43.835 --> 0:26:46.715 programming note here, there will be an episode of Countdown 0:26:48.115 --> 0:26:57.595 tomorrow Tuesday, the third kind of compact headlines driven edition short. 0:26:58.395 --> 0:27:01.315 I want to see if, what with the new TV 0:27:01.435 --> 0:27:04.995 sports responsibilities I have, I can still add a third 0:27:05.115 --> 0:27:09.235 edition every week and not lose even more of my mind. 0:27:10.515 --> 0:27:14.155 Please listen tomorrow, because there is every chance it will 0:27:14.195 --> 0:27:18.195 be the only Tuesday edition I ever do. It's an 0:27:18.235 --> 0:27:25.675 experiment also of interest here when you call somebody too 0:27:25.755 --> 0:27:31.035 clever by half, but you misspell the word two and 0:27:31.315 --> 0:27:35.475 anybody's seen Jake. No, Biden's cognition is the real story here, 0:27:35.555 --> 0:27:39.675 not Trump's belief that Biden is a robot. Tappers Show lately. 0:27:39.875 --> 0:27:43.755 Anybody seen Jake Tapper and the lead recently? The answer 0:27:43.915 --> 0:27:49.995 is according to the ratings, not really. No, that's next. 0:27:50.235 --> 0:27:58.955 This is Countdown. This his countdown with Keith Oberman. Oberman 0:28:20.115 --> 0:28:23.355 still ahead on this edition of Countdown in Baseball, this 0:28:23.595 --> 0:28:28.155 is Lou Garrig Day, making Larry's impression of the longtime 0:28:28.235 --> 0:28:33.635 Yankee Stadium public address announcer Bob Sheppard entirely appropriate. Chronologically, 0:28:34.835 --> 0:28:38.835 Lou Garrig Day, the somber remembrance of the baseball immortal 0:28:38.955 --> 0:28:43.075 of the New York Yankees, cut down with frightening rapidity 0:28:43.995 --> 0:28:47.035 eighty six years ago today. He was Baseball's iron Man. 0:28:47.955 --> 0:28:52.595 Eighty four years ago today he died the first time 0:28:52.675 --> 0:28:57.755 this nation knew about als and buried. Over the decades 0:28:57.795 --> 0:29:02.555 since the disturbingly large percentage of sports writers of nineteen 0:29:02.595 --> 0:29:07.635 thirty nine and nineteen forty who just assumed Garrig had 0:29:07.955 --> 0:29:14.355 infected his teammates or was faking the illness to gain sympathy, 0:29:14.475 --> 0:29:18.955 he did not deserve the sadder side of the pride 0:29:19.115 --> 0:29:22.355 of the Yankees. Next in things I promised not to 0:29:22.395 --> 0:29:25.635 tell first, Believe it or not, there's still more new 0:29:25.795 --> 0:29:28.155 idiots to talk about the roundup of the miss Grants, 0:29:28.195 --> 0:29:32.715 morons and Dunning Kruger effects specimens who constitute today's other 0:29:34.115 --> 0:29:43.955 Weststmas persons in the world the bronze. Kurt Sicktor of 0:29:44.115 --> 0:29:52.955 town hall dot com Kurt isn't bright. This is about 0:29:53.115 --> 0:29:58.275 tariffs versus taxes. Someone wrote, if tariffs were taxes, why 0:29:58.315 --> 0:30:02.715 would we have a different word called tariffs? Our educational 0:30:02.755 --> 0:30:06.355 system not only failed about FI fifty years ago, it 0:30:06.675 --> 0:30:14.515 went bankrupt. Dan McLaughlin, who operates as at Baseball crank 0:30:14.675 --> 0:30:17.315 and is I don't know about the baseball part, but 0:30:17.355 --> 0:30:21.435 he's very much a crank, a very cranky conservative. I 0:30:21.475 --> 0:30:24.115 think most normal people, as opposed to people in think 0:30:24.155 --> 0:30:27.595 tank land, grasp that only Congress is supposed to be 0:30:27.635 --> 0:30:30.315 able to raise taxes and that it is weird for 0:30:30.395 --> 0:30:33.395 the president to be raising and lowering them on a 0:30:33.475 --> 0:30:37.915 daily basis. This is an arch conservative. This is a 0:30:37.995 --> 0:30:42.515 salute and wear shiny boots conservative complaining about what Trump 0:30:42.595 --> 0:30:50.115 is doing, to which Kurt Slocktor of town Hall writes, quote, 0:30:50.155 --> 0:30:53.315 A tariff is a tax is a too clever by 0:30:53.355 --> 0:30:56.475 half formulation that ignores the fact that a tariff is 0:30:56.515 --> 0:31:01.795 not a tax. It's a tariff two clever by half, 0:31:01.955 --> 0:31:08.595 Kurt says, only he spelled it too two, like the 0:31:08.715 --> 0:31:14.955 number it's to t ooh. That's the point of the phrase, 0:31:15.355 --> 0:31:19.755 too clever by half. It's not a numerical assessment. It's 0:31:19.875 --> 0:31:25.035 saying you're being way too smart, way too smart, too 0:31:25.115 --> 0:31:28.515 clever by half something. Mister Kurt Schlichter has never been 0:31:28.555 --> 0:31:33.115 accused of runner up worser Andrew Cuomo, having had to 0:31:33.155 --> 0:31:37.595 resign in disgrace, in fact multiple disgrace, in fact disgrace 0:31:37.795 --> 0:31:41.075 of your choice as governor of New York, now running 0:31:41.075 --> 0:31:45.155 for Mayor of New York to avoid reporters who want 0:31:45.195 --> 0:31:50.235 to ask him about I don't know scandal one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 0:31:50.275 --> 0:31:54.875 ten or eleven. To avoid reporters. The other day he 0:31:54.875 --> 0:31:58.555 held a press event. A press event in Cuomo Land 0:31:58.715 --> 0:32:01.235 is we want you to show up and give us 0:32:01.275 --> 0:32:04.675 free publicity, but don't dare ask any questions of the case. 0:32:06.395 --> 0:32:08.835 He wanted to avoid the reporters who wanted to ask 0:32:08.915 --> 0:32:12.035 him questions, so he ran out as soon as it 0:32:12.155 --> 0:32:16.275
