Speaker 1: Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. Okay,
Speaker 1: Clearly the compromise here on the debate microphones is Trump
Speaker 1: gets to keep the mics muted, but his mic has
Speaker 1: to be muted for the entire debate. Problem solved. We'll
Speaker 1: get back to the debate and why Trump's transparent attempt
Speaker 1: to back out of it again seems to have surprised
Speaker 1: the political media industrial complex again. But first, that rare
Speaker 1: day when the polling really is startling, the full Reichstag
Speaker 1: fire level propaganda site Red State may have commissioned certainly
Speaker 1: got first access to a pole showing Kamala Harris leading
Speaker 1: Trump fifty two to forty five among likely voters seven
Speaker 1: points fifty to forty six among registered voters. That is
Speaker 1: outside the margin of error according to the head of
Speaker 1: the firm, the firm which is so right wing that
Speaker 1: the polster's pinned tweet is about how in two thousand
Speaker 1: and eleven he predicted that Trump would become president someday.
Speaker 1: The polling was completed Saturday, and the piece at Red
Speaker 1: State is so filled with caveats that it's just this
Speaker 1: side of the Polster self flagellating and yet Harris, with
Speaker 1: everything going in her favor, is still not pulling away
Speaker 1: from Trump, writes Doug Kaplan, who try as he might,
Speaker 1: cannot escape his own numbers. She is on an incredible
Speaker 1: winning streak right now. They also did favorability scores. They
Speaker 1: claim Harris is at fifty to fifty and Trump is
Speaker 1: only eleven points underwater. The biggest factor, writes Kaplan, strategies
Speaker 1: helping Harris is how she has neutralized the immigration issue.
Speaker 1: In both polls, immigration was the fourth most important issue,
Speaker 1: or rather only ten percent told us it was their
Speaker 1: number one. I think you have the gist of this.
Speaker 1: Now he keeps telling the fascists what the numbers actually say,
Speaker 1: then he offers them excuses for those numbers. There is
Speaker 1: even a vaguely worded detail about what impact the RFK
Speaker 1: Junior endorsement will have on Trump's numbers going forward, which
Speaker 1: is kind of weird because their poll was in the
Speaker 1: field Friday, when Kennedy accepted Trump's bribe, and Saturday, the
Speaker 1: day after he endorsed him. Kaplan claims his poll shows
Speaker 1: twenty percent of likely voters were more likely to vote
Speaker 1: for Trump based on a Kennedy endorsement, which could mean anything,
Speaker 1: because a he already endorsed him, and b. Kaplan is
Speaker 1: not saying twenty percent of undecided voters are saying this,
Speaker 1: just twenty percent of all voters, which would include people
Speaker 1: who were already likely to vote for Trump, in which
Speaker 1: conceivably could consist only of people who were already likely
Speaker 1: to vote for Trump. Also on polling, the weekly update
Speaker 1: from Morning Consult has shown no convention bump for Harris,
Speaker 1: or maybe just a continuation of all the previous bumps.
Speaker 1: It is unchanged same as last week Harris forty eight,
Speaker 1: Trump forty four, but remarkably there are signs of a
Speaker 1: Tim Walls bump. His favorability in Morning Consult was at
Speaker 1: thirty nine percent and plus three before the convention. It
Speaker 1: is at forty two percent and now plus six after it.
Speaker 1: The poles continue to be so uniformly bad for Trump,
Speaker 1: even the cooked ones are bad for Trump that today
Speaker 1: the Trump campaign begins rolling out TV ads for him
Speaker 1: on Fox, MSNBC, CNN, and a few others on cable.
Speaker 1: In West Palm Beach, Florida. It is hard to tell
Speaker 1: if the campaign is seeing more of those hints that
Speaker 1: we saw last week that Harris really is kind of
Speaker 1: moving towards being competitive in Florida, Or if this ad
Speaker 1: buy is just to calm their candidate down at Mari
Speaker 1: Lago as he continues to act as if he's been
Speaker 1: suffering a mini stroke once an average of every eight
Speaker 1: hours and twenty seven minutes, or so, hey, look on
Speaker 1: the bright side. Maybe it's both. While we are here
Speaker 1: in polling land Echelon, the only Polster is ever to
Speaker 1: complain when I complimented their work has Trump ahead nationally
Speaker 1: forty nine forty eight tip a less red meat Republican
Speaker 1: polster has Harris ahead in Michigan by two, but it
Speaker 1: has Alyssa Slotkin ahead in Michigan by ten in the
Speaker 1: Senate race. The Republican dark money group Read Eagle commissioned
Speaker 1: to poll in which claims Trump is ahead in Pennsylvania
Speaker 1: by one. The Washington Post average of swing state poles
Speaker 1: has her ahead in Pennsylvania by two. Also, that's a
Speaker 1: head in Michigan by one in the Washington Post average,
Speaker 1: ahead in Wisconsin by three, trailing by one in Arizona
Speaker 1: and North Carolina, trailing by two in Nevada, trailing by
Speaker 1: three in Georgia. In each of those states. The Post
Speaker 1: average of polls shows in the five weeks since the
Speaker 1: president stepped out of the race, a swing to Harris
Speaker 1: of between two point eight points and three point nine points. Again,
Speaker 1: these are from an average of the polls in the
Speaker 1: swing states, not just a Washington Post poll. The other
Speaker 1: news here. The Wisconsin Supreme Court says Jill Stein can
Speaker 1: say on the ballot there, so the Kremlin is happy,
Speaker 1: and Tulsey Gabbard has endorsed Trump, so justifiably panicky trumpists
Speaker 1: can now pretend Gabbard as a Democrat or a Liberal.
Speaker 1: What I must mention I am not seeing yet and
Speaker 1: really want to see, is actual concrete results about whether
Speaker 1: or not the Kennedy endorsement is playing at all in
Speaker 1: the polling. I mean that four percent or so has
Speaker 1: to go somewhere, and the state and national polling to
Speaker 1: this point has been utterly contradictory. In many swing states
Speaker 1: Kennedy had been hurting Trump, but nationally it seemed as
Speaker 1: if he was taking away somewhere around two and a
Speaker 1: half points from each of them. There were other states
Speaker 1: in which it appeared he was hurting Harris. I really
Speaker 1: want to see poles in which Kennedy's supporters are asked
Speaker 1: about the dead Central Park cub and the dead dog,
Speaker 1: and now the dead whale, and the story his daughter
Speaker 1: tells of him driving to cut off the head of
Speaker 1: that dead whale where a chain saw and strapping it
Speaker 1: to the roof of their car from a five hour
Speaker 1: drive home, and how quoting her whale juice would pour
Speaker 1: into the windows of the car. We all had plastic
Speaker 1: bags over our heads with mouth holes cut out, but
Speaker 1: that was just normal day to day stuff for us.
Speaker 1: By the way, those quotes were in naturally Town and
Speaker 1: Country magazine, which is leading this month's issue with how
Speaker 1: to make your hands look younger. Don't pick up a
Speaker 1: goddamned whalehead. That's one way anyway. I guess until we
Speaker 1: have some Kennedy specific polling, he will simply remain Trump's
Speaker 1: cross to bear, Trump's cross to bear this thing on. Hello.
Speaker 1: Trump is back trying to back out of the presidential debate,
Speaker 1: and he's not even doing it well, and the American
Speaker 1: political media is, as always astonished. As soon as Harris
Speaker 1: replaced Biden, Trump claimed all debate agreements were off. Now
Speaker 1: he is enraged because she wants the mics always open,
Speaker 1: not muted, not because he objects to the mics not
Speaker 1: being muted, but just because she wants it. Let me
Speaker 1: summarize this. Trump is trying to back out of the debate.
Speaker 1: He is hoping to be able to back out and
Speaker 1: blame her. He did this exact same thing with Biden too,
Speaker 1: starting late last year. He is using as an excuse
Speaker 1: now an objection to something he agrees with. What is
Speaker 1: Harris doing? Harris bluntly is effing with him, and rather successfully.
Speaker 1: The Harris team has already proven to be the most
Speaker 1: successful anti Trump entity in this fertile field of effing
Speaker 1: with him and the media. They are making noises like
Speaker 1: sea lions over this. Like all this started yesterday morning.
Speaker 1: In fact, it started at ten pm Eastern Sunday night.
Speaker 1: But of course ninety nine out of one hundred political
Speaker 1: reporters take the weekends off and the other one only
Speaker 1: sticks around until the Sunday shows are over, and then
Speaker 1: it's hot and cold running mimosas for the rest of
Speaker 1: the day. Trump posted, I watched ABC fake news this morning,
Speaker 1: and you know it's really fake news because he capitalized
Speaker 1: it both lightweight reporter Jonathan Carl's ridiculous and biased interview
Speaker 1: of Tom Cotton, who was fantastic, and their so called
Speaker 1: panel of Trump haters, And I ask why would I
Speaker 1: do the debate against Kamala Harris on that network? Will
Speaker 1: panelist Donald Brazil give the questions to the Marxist candidate
Speaker 1: like she did for Crooked Hillary Clinton? Will Kamala's best
Speaker 1: friend who heads up ABC do? Likewise? Where is little
Speaker 1: George Slopadopoulos hanging out now? Will he be involved? They've
Speaker 1: got a lot of questions to answer. Why did Harris
Speaker 1: turn down Fox, NBCCBS and even CNN stay tuned? Many
Speaker 1: strokes so Monday morning. The Harris camp then says it
Speaker 1: agreed to fulfill the second half of the Biden Trump
Speaker 1: debate schedule that Trump agreed to, but when they did that,
Speaker 1: they insisted that the debate rules were still up for debate.
Speaker 1: And then hours later Harris communications guru Brian Fallon disclaimer
Speaker 1: we used to be in that fantasy football league together
Speaker 1: said quote. We have told ABC and the other network
Speaker 1: seeking to host a possible October debate that we believe
Speaker 1: both candidates Mike's should be live throughout the full broadcast.
Speaker 1: We suspect Trump's team has not even told their boss
Speaker 1: about this dispute because it would be too embarrassing to admit.
Speaker 1: They don't think he can handle himself against Vice President
Speaker 1: Harris without the benefit of a mute button. As I
Speaker 1: find myself asking so often here so recently, is it
Speaker 1: loll or is it lowell? Wait, there's more lolling. Trump
Speaker 1: on his way yesterday to using Arlington National Cemetery as
Speaker 1: a political prop where he stood in front of soldier's
Speaker 1: graves and smiled and gave a thumbs up. Trump he
Speaker 1: didn't actually care about this.
Speaker 2: Would you want the microphones mute it in the debate
Speaker 2: whenever you're out speaking? We agree to the same rules.
Speaker 2: I don't know. It doesn't matter to me. I'd rather
Speaker 2: have it probably on. But the agreement was that it
Speaker 2: would be the same as it was last time. In
Speaker 2: that case it was muted. I didn't like it the
Speaker 2: last time, but it worked out fine, and asked Biden
Speaker 2: how it worked out. It was fine, and I think
Speaker 2: it should be the same. We agreed to the same rules,
Speaker 2: same rules, the same specifications, and I think that's probably
Speaker 2: what it should be. But they're trying to change it.
Speaker 2: The truth is they're trying to get out of it
Speaker 2: because she doesn't want a debate. She's not a good debater,
Speaker 2: she's not a smart person. She doesn't want a debate.
Speaker 1: Trump will swing back to the ABC stuff, or why
Speaker 1: won't she go on Fox stuff? Presently depend upon it
Speaker 1: he wants out. If he does debate, we will be
Speaker 1: doing another live podcast after it. I'm not making any
Speaker 1: firm plans for that night, but as I said at
Speaker 1: the start, he wants a muted mike. He gets a
Speaker 1: muted mike for the entire debate. I'm not sure how
Speaker 1: this is physically possible at this point, but as evidenced
Speaker 1: by the mishandling of the microphone story, the American political
Speaker 1: media is still getting worse. Gary Tuckman has been with
Speaker 1: CNN so long we almost overlapped in the New York bureau.
Speaker 1: I left in nineteen eighty four. He got there in
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety. It is hard to believe they will let
Speaker 1: him continue, at least continue in a prominent role after
Speaker 1: this scandal over the quote undecided unquote focus group that
Speaker 1: he did. If you have not heard this, Gary Tuckman
Speaker 1: conducted a panel after Harris's acceptance speech at the Convention.
Speaker 1: The panel was in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Of eight avowedly undecided voters.
Speaker 1: Having heard her speak, six of the eight immediately said
Speaker 1: they were now ready to vote for her, the seventh
Speaker 1: was still undecided. The eighth said he was also now
Speaker 1: ready to vote for Trump. He's a man named Bryant Rosado,
Speaker 1: and after some pressing, he has claimed that not only
Speaker 1: did he go into the focus group intending to vote
Speaker 1: for Trump, but that he told CNN and in fact
Speaker 1: told Gary Tuckman personally, that he was intending to vote
Speaker 1: for Trump. Tuckman, he says, approached him at a friend
Speaker 1: at a restaurant and asked who they were voting for,
Speaker 1: and they told him, quoting Rosato. Crazy part is that
Speaker 1: CNN invited me knowing I was a Trump supporter. Then
Speaker 1: they said it'll be voters that are undecided, not Democrats.
Speaker 1: They told me to keep an open mind and to
Speaker 1: give Kamala a chance after the speech, since she's the
Speaker 1: new candidate after Biden. So I did hashtag Trump CNN,
Speaker 1: which in the last two years has probably spent wasted
Speaker 1: seventy five percent of the remaining credibility its originals and
Speaker 1: near originals like me built for it four decades ago,
Speaker 1: certainly did not help with a statement to the Midas Network,
Speaker 1: which pursued this story doggedly and thoroughly, doggedly and thoroughly,
Speaker 1: in other words, exactly the way CNN did not pursue
Speaker 1: this story. Quoting the anonymous CNN spokesperson, mistakes included when
Speaker 1: building the panel of voters who haven't decided on a candidate,
Speaker 1: all participants made it clear that they indeed hadn't made
Speaker 1: a final determination. This particular individual, who said he had
Speaker 1: supported Donald Trump in the past, expressed to us that
Speaker 1: after President Biden dropped out of the race, his mind
Speaker 1: became open and he hadn't make a final decision on
Speaker 1: a candidate hadn't make In this context, it is kind
Speaker 1: of hard to believe that CNN actually fired Chris Solisa
Speaker 1: rather than making him, you know, president of CNN worldwide.
Speaker 1: At six am yesterday, Axios reminded the political world, and
Speaker 1: I'll give them this, they are good at reminders that
Speaker 1: Vice President Harris's campaign had committed to at least one
Speaker 1: sit down interview before the end of this month. End
Speaker 1: of this month is Saturday, This is August. Next month
Speaker 1: will be September. The next major holiday is Labor Day,
Speaker 1: quoting Axios Vice President Harris's strategy for the seventy one
Speaker 1: day spread has built partly around try to outwork former
Speaker 1: President Trump. Axios is Sophia Chi writes whyat matters. Harris
Speaker 1: is packing her campaign schedule this week, starting with a
Speaker 1: bus tour in southern Georgia. She'll also sit for her
Speaker 1: first interview as a presidential candidate. I'll just say that again.
Speaker 1: She'll also sit for her first interview as a presidential candidate.
Speaker 1: They committed to it, they just haven't said where yet.
Speaker 1: Six hours after that, your boy, Solissa umbraged, quoting It's
Speaker 1: been thirty six days since Joe Biden dropped out of
Speaker 1: the race and Kamla Harris emerged as the nominee. She's
Speaker 1: conducted zero press conferences and zero sit down media interviews.
Speaker 1: She has taken less than fifteen total questions from the
Speaker 1: media in any format.
Speaker 3: Unacceptable.
Speaker 1: Twelve oh nine pm Eastern ten. I don't know which
Speaker 1: part I like best, the fact that he has either
Speaker 1: forgotten or ignored Harris's interview commitment, or the fact that
Speaker 1: he has either forgotten or ignored that when Harris has
Speaker 1: stopped for those questions. Reporters have not rushed her with
Speaker 1: policy nuance, but instead with demands for reaction to the
Speaker 1: noises that have followed what has seemed like Trump's latest
Speaker 1: mini stroke. Still none of this, not the CNN uncommitted
Speaker 1: except he's voting for Trump, nor the latest slissit's self
Speaker 1: beclowning can top with. The New York Time has now
Speaker 1: done another of its priceless guest op eds, which are
Speaker 1: designed to put the satirist New York Times pitch bot
Speaker 1: account out of business and then put the Times itself
Speaker 1: out of business. The headline of this guest op ed,
Speaker 1: Trump can win on character the content the author thanks
Speaker 1: character means Trump settling on a nickname for Harris the rest.
Speaker 1: I'll spare you its fascist bullshit. I would really reverse
Speaker 1: my opinion of The Times if just one time it
Speaker 1: printed one of these, and instead of insulting everybody's intelligence,
Speaker 1: including the fascists, the Time simply repeated the words fascist
Speaker 1: bullshit five hundred times each. I'd frame that. Then again,
Speaker 1: I'm the guy who, when he was the editor in
Speaker 1: chief of his high school newspaper, Will Bunch was my
Speaker 1: ace underclassman news reporter. We had an editorial literally pulled
Speaker 1: off the page by the headmaster of the school. Came
Speaker 1: up to the newsroom and literally pulled the thing off.
Speaker 1: The addition that was just going to the printers. Very dramatic,
Speaker 1: very impactful. But he left our offices without telling me
Speaker 1: what to put in its place, nor did he bother
Speaker 1: to check before we actually shipped it off to the printers.
Speaker 1: So I simply printed out the word censored in big
Speaker 1: black letters, and we ran it where the editorial was
Speaker 1: supposed to be. But that's me. Anyway, I've left out
Speaker 1: the one joy of this remarkable times self own, and
Speaker 1: I might add op ed author self own, the Trump
Speaker 1: can win on character. Op ed was written by Rich Lowry,
Speaker 1: editor in chief of National Review. And if you've been
Speaker 1: with me a while, you already know what's coming next.
Speaker 1: Rich Lowry, October third, two thousand and eight, four eight pm,
Speaker 1: National Review, the day after the vice presidential debate between
Speaker 1: Senator Joe Biden and Sarah Palin who is still alive?
Speaker 1: Headline projecting through the Screen by Rich Lowry. The very
Speaker 1: wise TV executive once told me that the key to
Speaker 1: TV is projecting through the screen. It's one of the
Speaker 1: keys to the success of Sayah bill O'Reilly, who comes
Speaker 1: through the screen and grabs you by the throat. I
Speaker 1: read that in the legal papers, didn't I. Palin too,
Speaker 1: projects through the screen like crazy. I'm sure I'm not
Speaker 1: the only male in America who when Palin dropped her
Speaker 1: first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch
Speaker 1: and said, hey, I think she just winked at me.
Speaker 1: And her smile by the end, when she clearly knew
Speaker 1: she was doing well, it was so sparkling it was
Speaker 1: almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and
Speaker 1: ricocheting around the living rooms of America. This is a
Speaker 1: quality that can't be learned. It's either something you have
Speaker 1: or your don't. And man, she's got it. Now. He's
Speaker 1: writing op eds for the Times, for the systemic and
Speaker 1: possible fatal problems of the Times. All I can say
Speaker 1: is this. In that context, this from Rich Lowry was
Speaker 1: a fitting climax. Also of interest here this all new
Speaker 1: edition of Countdown. A top Trump aid complains that the
Speaker 1: Democrats had a guy on the Sunday shows who was
Speaker 1: so old he should be in a retirement home. Guess
Speaker 1: who the guy is younger than and the operational head
Speaker 1: of ESPN. The former producer of the Dan Patrick Keith
Speaker 1: Oleriman Sports Center is succeeded in his role by the
Speaker 1: other former producer of the Dan Patrick Keith Alriman Sports Center.
Speaker 1: This is either testament to how easy I was to
Speaker 1: work with or how scarred you get after working with me.
Speaker 1: That's next. This is Sports Countdown.
Speaker 2: This is Countdown with Keith Olberman, my crazy friend.
Speaker 1: Still ahead of us on this all new edition of Countdown.
Speaker 1: Not only is the former producer of the Big Show
Speaker 1: eleven PM edition of ESPN Sports Center the new operational
Speaker 1: chief at ESPN, succeeding the guy he succeeded thirty years ago,
Speaker 1: who had also been the producer of the Big Show
Speaker 1: edition of ESPN's eleven PM Sports Center. But now it
Speaker 1: turns out I me personally managed to help kill off
Speaker 1: the best all news radio station there ever was. And
Speaker 1: there is a newly rediscovered cassette of my debut as
Speaker 1: a professional newscaster, and the date is if you are
Speaker 1: sitting down, please July twenty fifth, nineteen eighty ahead in
Speaker 1: a combined edition of Sports Centers, Central and Things I
Speaker 1: Promised Not to Tell First, there are still more new
Speaker 1: idiots to talk about. The daily roundup of the miss Grants,
Speaker 1: morons and Dunning Kruger effects specimens, who constitute two days
Speaker 1: worst persons in.
Speaker 2: The world.
Speaker 1: Besides me, the bronze worse don Old. This did not
Speaker 1: seem to resonate for some reason, probably because we get it.
Speaker 1: He's having a series of mini strokes. We get it
Speaker 1: Friday night Saturday morning. He apparently posted on truth Social
Speaker 1: it's a brand name. It doesn't actually mean any of
Speaker 1: it's true. These are great patriots who work their hearts
Speaker 1: out to have a strong and powerful border, only to
Speaker 1: be harassed by borders. Zach Kamala Harris, who wants the
Speaker 1: that's the whole thing. These are great patriots who work
Speaker 1: their hearts out to have a strong and powerful nuns
Speaker 1: I'll spell it in a moment border, only to be
Speaker 1: harassed by borders, zar Kamala Harris, who wants the that
Speaker 1: was it? Mini stroke powerful nuns the Kofeve of twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four pow r f U l.
Speaker 4: N n z.
Speaker 1: QAnon will be able to explain that, or a good neuropathologist.
Speaker 1: They run her up. Worser Andrea Tanteraro's former host of
Speaker 1: Foxes The Five and how bad do you have to
Speaker 1: be at your job to be removed from the Five?
Speaker 1: This is where they let Dana Perino, possibly the stupidest
Speaker 1: human being alive, and Jesse Waters, who's runner up or
Speaker 1: tied out there every day to let their brains leak
Speaker 1: out of their ears on national television, brains they can
Speaker 1: ill afford to lose. I might add Andrea Tantris used
Speaker 1: to be a host of that show, and then she
Speaker 1: got removed, and it wasn't just because she filed sexual
Speaker 1: harassment lawsuits against all the schmucks like Roger Ales and
Speaker 1: Bill O'Reilly. Cheryl Atkinson, who also was once an actual
Speaker 1: news reporter for CBS, simply tweeted, Kamala looks good. Andrea Tantaros,
Speaker 1: like ten minutes later, sub tweeted her. Cheryl Andkison writes,
Speaker 1: Kamala looks good. Andrea Tantaros writes, so did Hitler. Impeccable
Speaker 1: manscaping and tailoring. You're just like the rest two things, Andrea.
Speaker 1: First of all, you've made Cheryl Atkinson look normal. You
Speaker 1: really want to be responsible for that? Then number two,
Speaker 1: man scaping referring to Kamala Harris. First of all, Man's
Speaker 1: impeccable manscaping and tailoring man scaping of Hitler? Do we know,
Speaker 1: Angela Andrea, what manscaping means these days in the popular lingo?
Speaker 1: What the kids mean when they say manscaping? Why do
Speaker 1: you know something about Hitler's manscaping? Also, I want to
Speaker 1: add something here, even if you're just talking about Hitler's
Speaker 1: haircut here, have you seen pictures of Hitler's haircut and
Speaker 1: how uneven it was? I haven't seen that lopside of
Speaker 1: a haircut since since JB. Vance. But the winner, the
Speaker 1: circular gentleman, Jason Miller, the one accused of, you know,
Speaker 1: slipping extra ingredients into his smoothies. Ron philip Kowski pointed
Speaker 1: this out on Sunday. Jason Miller still somehow a Trump
Speaker 1: advisor after all this? Well, I mean, on the ranks
Speaker 1: of how bad you have to be as a human being,
Speaker 1: he's probably only like the one thousandth worst person working
Speaker 1: for Trump out of the million. This was one of
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris's most consequential weeks in her political career. Jason
Speaker 1: Miller rights from DC look at the commies and retreads
Speaker 1: the Dems had out on TV this Sunday. I mean,
Speaker 1: he writes, what retirement home did they pull Tom Dashel
Speaker 1: out of? Former Senate Majority leader Tom Dashell was born
Speaker 1: on December ninth, nineteen forty seven. Trump, on the other hand,
Speaker 1: was born on June fourteenth, nineteen forty six. Not only
Speaker 1: is Dashel younger than Trump, but he's eighteen months younger
Speaker 1: than Trump. So the answer to the question what retirement
Speaker 1: home did they pull Tom Dashel out of? Is the
Speaker 1: one Trump should be in with young Dashel feeding him
Speaker 1: porridge with a spoon. Jason Miller two days worst person
Speaker 1: in the world. Never asked a question you don't know
Speaker 1: the answer.
Speaker 5: This is sports Senate. Wait, check that not anymore. This
Speaker 5: is Countdown with Keith Ulberman.
Speaker 1: Sports for people who don't like sports. Actually it's a
Speaker 1: common a nation. Sports for people who don't like sports
Speaker 1: and things I promised not to tell. Dateline, Bristol, Connecticut.
Speaker 3: Hello.
Speaker 1: ESPN has named Mike McQuaid as its new executive vice
Speaker 1: president of Sports Production. Basically, he succeeds longtime executive Norby Williamson.
Speaker 1: This is the part of the movie where I came in.
Speaker 1: If you saw this story online and you saw Mike
Speaker 1: mcquad's picture, No, he's not wanted for anything. That's just
Speaker 1: how his photos always turn out.
Speaker 3: Always.
Speaker 1: There's no search for him in seventeen Western states. No,
Speaker 1: but here's the point. In nineteen ninety four, Norby Williamson
Speaker 1: was succeeded as the producer of the eleven PM Big
Speaker 1: Show edition of Sports Center by Mike McQuaid. Thirty years later,
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four, Norby Williamson was succeeded as operational
Speaker 1: chief of ESPN by Mike McQuaid. A patience is a
Speaker 1: virtue b then as now, all roads to power lead
Speaker 1: through Dan and Keith Dateline No York, New York. As
Speaker 1: I mentioned last week, the finest all news radio station
Speaker 1: in history was to go off the air at midnight Sunday, Monday.
Speaker 1: It happened. No reprieve your maniacs, You'll build up od
Speaker 1: damn God, damn you alte WCBS New York went off
Speaker 1: the air just shy of fifty seven years since its
Speaker 1: most recent newscasts started in August nineteen sixty seven, and
Speaker 1: only when the veteran anchor Wayne Cabot gave the last
Speaker 1: station ID and the station went silent for a second
Speaker 1: at midnight? Did I realize I was one of the murderers.
Speaker 1: The next thing you heard after the silence where News
Speaker 1: Radio eighty eight or eight eighty should have been was
Speaker 1: ESPN Radio, which I launched in nineteen ninety two. I
Speaker 1: mean I broke the first big story on the first weekend,
Speaker 1: which gave the thing the credibility it would then use
Speaker 1: years later to destroy the best all news radio station
Speaker 1: in history, the butterfly effect. We're still the first thing
Speaker 1: on ESPN Radio eight eighty was ESPN Radio Sports Center
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety two. When we launched the radio network,
Speaker 1: they used to call the Sports News Updates ESPN Updates
Speaker 1: or something similar to had a guy named Tony Lamonica
Speaker 1: do it? Or used to point his finger out the
Speaker 1: window of the studio and queue somebody to do something
Speaker 1: that didn't have to be cued and didn't do anyway.
Speaker 1: We called the ESPN Updates or something similar, and I said,
Speaker 1: why aren't you calling it ESPN Radio Sports Center. That's
Speaker 1: the brand name. And they said, oh no, no, no, can't
Speaker 1: do that. We don't want to dilute the brand name.
Speaker 1: And I kept pushing for it. Six seven months in
Speaker 1: they renamed it ESPN Radio Sports Center, which was the
Speaker 1: first thing you heard after WCBS went off the air.
Speaker 1: So I killed WCBS. I'm sorry, I won't do it again.
Speaker 1: All of which brings us to the number one story
Speaker 1: on the countdown and things I promised not to tell,
Speaker 1: and the broadcasting business just got a little smaller. And
Speaker 1: if you think this is it, no, sir. I worked
Speaker 1: at five different New York radio stations, most of them
Speaker 1: in my youth. Two were as part of network gigs.
Speaker 1: I did sportscasts on the RKO Radio network and I
Speaker 1: would then go upstairs to WOOR twice a day to
Speaker 1: do local sportscasts for them. Same at the ABC network
Speaker 1: and WABC. I even did news commentaries for WABC. I
Speaker 1: was a regular on WNW and WNWFM here, and I
Speaker 1: appeared a couple of times on WIONS here as part
Speaker 1: of work I was doing for its your all news
Speaker 1: station in La KFWB. Out of those five outlets, RKO
Speaker 1: doesn't exist anymore. WNW ANDWNWFM are long gone. I think
Speaker 1: they went out of business in nineteen ninety two. At
Speaker 1: least WNW did KFWB Los Angeles is gone. I think
Speaker 1: they still have the call letters, but it ain't all
Speaker 1: news anymore, hasn't been for fifteen years. And the station
Speaker 1: I really wanted to work for was WCBS. I've told
Speaker 1: that story many times, including the story of the support
Speaker 1: I got as I was starting my career from the
Speaker 1: legendary news director of WCBS, the late Lou Adler. I
Speaker 1: kind of worked for WCBS. The job I did get
Speaker 1: at the start of my career was at UPI Radio,
Speaker 1: which by the way, has been long out of business.
Speaker 1: WCBS used to use our reports from UPI all the time,
Speaker 1: all the time. That was the greatest validation I could
Speaker 1: get to turn on the actual radio to my radio
Speaker 1: station and hear myself, a twenty year old rookie on there.
Speaker 1: But most of my local radio stationing was done on
Speaker 1: those two wnews. And in fact, I was looking for
Speaker 1: some old clips from CBS when I was reminded that
Speaker 1: the first time I actually did news anchoring for money,
Speaker 1: it was on a Friday afternoon in July nineteen eighty
Speaker 1: when everybody else, and I mean everybody else in the
Speaker 1: news department at WNEW was outsick or on vacation or something.
Speaker 1: I mean everybody. I had done the sports reporting that morning.
Speaker 1: I'd been there at three am, and as I was
Speaker 1: leaving at maybe nine o'clock in the morning, the second
Speaker 1: of the two afternoon newscasters. They had two newscasters who
Speaker 1: worked in the afternoon. One did the top of the
Speaker 1: hour news, one at the bottom. Now, if the station
Speaker 1: has two newscasters, that's a lot. They had two newscasters
Speaker 1: on the same shift, and it was a music station anyway.
Speaker 1: The second of them, Charles Scott King, who did the
Speaker 1: bottom of the hour newscasts that were mostly sports. Anyway,
Speaker 1: he called in sick. So they then had to page
Speaker 1: the news director on his beeper to get him to
Speaker 1: approve the last option me. No audition, no tests. They
Speaker 1: just said, well, he sounds okay, I guess doing the sports.
Speaker 1: Oh what are we gonna do? Just put on the
Speaker 1: horse racing results for an hour. So there I was
Speaker 1: back at the station after a quick nap, maybe four
Speaker 1: point thirty in the afternoon. I was on the air
Speaker 1: doing drive time news on a big time, highly rated
Speaker 1: news station in the biggest market in the country. So
Speaker 1: here's what I found While looking for those clips clips
Speaker 1: hit stop now if you do not want to hear
Speaker 1: my twenty one year old voice. The first is a
Speaker 1: quick report I did for UPI from the World Pool
Speaker 1: Championship as it appeared on WCBS on August twenty third,
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty. The WCBS anchor is Gary Moore. Geene Belucas
Speaker 1: of Brooklyn has won the World Open Pool Championship.
Speaker 4: Keith Oberman reports from the competition in Manhattan.
Speaker 6: For the other women in professional pool, it is once
Speaker 6: again the same old story. Very good is just not
Speaker 6: good enough to unseat the reigning champ, Jean Belucas. The
Speaker 6: twenty one year old sharpshooter, took her second straight World
Speaker 6: Open title and kept her record intact. She's unbeaten in
Speaker 6: major tournament plays since nineteen seventy three. The finals saw
Speaker 6: Lucas run through Billy Billing, marking a high run of
Speaker 6: forty one straight balls on her way to a one
Speaker 6: hundred and twenty five victory. The champ was pleased with
Speaker 6: her showing each.
Speaker 1: Game I played, I had a good run in there,
Speaker 1: especially in the finals. At the women's game, I had
Speaker 1: two good runs in there, and I'm.
Speaker 3: Pretty proud of myself. I think this is the tournament
Speaker 3: that I.
Speaker 6: Played my best in Jean Belucas, who, besides her women's title,
Speaker 6: finished in the top third of the strong sixty three
Speaker 6: competitor men's field. Keep overmitted Pools World Open in New York.
Speaker 6: And that's the spots of WCVS All News eighty eight.

Speaker 1: twenty four presidential election, the one three hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: eighth day since convicted felon dementia Jay Trump's first attempted
Speaker 1: coup against the Democrat elected government of the United States.
Speaker 1: Use the September eighteenth sentencing hearing. If it happens, use
Speaker 1: the mental health system. You've got this. President Biden used
Speaker 1: presidential immunity to stop him from doing it again while
Speaker 1: we still can. And anti Semitic, anti immigration, gun nut
Speaker 1: Republicans please stop shooting at Trumpullremy. The next scheduled countdown
Speaker 1: is tomorrow. Bulletins as the news requires until the next
Speaker 1: one on Keith Olremman. Good Morning, good afternoon, good night,
