Speaker 1: Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. Hi
Speaker 1: for one, welcome our new insect overlords, and I welcome
Speaker 1: them the same way Russian state television did by showing
Speaker 1: naked pictures.
Speaker 2: Of Milania Milania tramp, I will Milania.
Speaker 1: If you don't speak Russian, that's Russian for do you
Speaker 1: have any nude photos of your wife? Would you like some?
Speaker 1: Thanks to Julia Davis, the invaluable Russian media monitor of
Speaker 1: The Daily Beast, I think that underscores something. I think
Speaker 1: that underscores that Putin is running president halfwit and choosing
Speaker 1: his cabinet for him. That same Russian state TV channel
Speaker 1: reported neither Mike Pompeo nor Nikki Haley would be in
Speaker 1: that cabinet, long before Tucker Carlson did, and long before
Speaker 1: Trump himself announced it. But moreover, I think the photos
Speaker 1: are the final reminder to Trump that Trump no longer
Speaker 1: has any claim on Putin, nor influence on Putin, nor
Speaker 1: should he expect anything from Putin accept demands and instructions.
Speaker 1: Two months and nine days before he again seizes power,
Speaker 1: Trump is a lame duck, and while he and his
Speaker 1: supporters here will certainly try to get him an unconstitutional
Speaker 1: third term a it will be quite a feat, even
Speaker 1: for fascists and a corrupt judiciary. And b Putin, who
Speaker 1: did not called to congratulate Trump but waited until Trump
Speaker 1: called him yesterday or Saturday, is obviously expecting that by
Speaker 1: the end of twenty twenty eight, Trump will be dead
Speaker 1: by then, Thank you, Nancy Faust, I would assume if
Speaker 1: Putin hasn't already selected Trump's successor maybe the name rhymes
Speaker 1: with squeal On Tusk, maybe it rhymes with JV. Prance,
Speaker 1: maybe it rhymes with Tucker Carlson. Whatever it is, he's
Speaker 1: working on it now. If it's Trump's job to now
Speaker 1: end birthright citizenship, that could work both ways, couldn't it.
Speaker 1: If he finds a way to say you're not an
Speaker 1: American just because you're born here, your parents were born here,
Speaker 1: surely he can find a way to say you are
Speaker 1: an American even if you weren't born here. Elon, whoever
Speaker 1: Putin's choice is, his wife does not have nude photographs
Speaker 1: that can be run by Russian state television as part
Speaker 1: of its news coverage of their election. Talk about rubbing
Speaker 1: your face in it. It even appears Russia and the
Speaker 1: Republicans have largely backed away from Robert F. Kennedy Junior
Speaker 1: and dashed his hopes of becoming anything in the Trump
Speaker 1: Reich more important than Secretary of Masturbation. Side show. Bobby
Speaker 1: thought it was his time to shine now, from dead
Speaker 1: bear cubs to whaleheads to brain worms. The day after
Speaker 1: the election, he even laid out his vision. And remember,
Speaker 1: his vision does not necessarily include anything that can actually
Speaker 1: be seen, because it does not necessarily include anything that's
Speaker 1: really happened. Chap has asked me to do three things.
Speaker 1: Clean up the corruption in our government health agencies, return
Speaker 1: those agencies to their rich tradition of gold standard evidence
Speaker 1: based science. Make Merica healthy again by ending the chronic
Speaker 1: disease epidemic. This is being said by a man who
Speaker 1: looks two hundred and six years old. The problem it
Speaker 1: also looks like he didn't clear that post or the
Speaker 1: MSNBC interview clip that it plays with Trump or with Russia.
Speaker 1: As Kennedy went even further and threatened to eliminate all vaccines,
Speaker 1: the Trumpists finally realized that, like Musk, Kennedy is not
Speaker 1: there to help the old Man, but to supplant him
Speaker 1: inside Trump's camp. CNN Now reports questions have been raised
Speaker 1: about whether Kennedy could get confirmed or obtain a security
Speaker 1: clearance necessary for a cabinet level position, and even if
Speaker 1: he could, they doubt Kennedy would want to go through
Speaker 1: those processes. Quote, if you dump a bear in Central
Speaker 1: Park and think you're above the law, you don't want
Speaker 1: to have to go through that gauntlet of political correctness,
Speaker 1: said a former Trump official briefed on the discussion. Trump
Speaker 1: obviously wants the fewer connections to Central Park as can
Speaker 1: be arranged. On the other hand, if if Bob has
Speaker 1: to go back to his world of FaceTime, at least
Speaker 1: he can focus on getting the nation to come together. No,
Speaker 1: the election was not stolen, not in the way you're
Speaker 1: thinking anyway. We Democrats and Liberals just never did fully
Speaker 1: understand how much into how many people to phrase the
Speaker 1: economy only meant supermarket prices and household budgets. And by
Speaker 1: the way, unlike everybody else telling you what went wrong,
Speaker 1: I did not know this a week ago, or you
Speaker 1: know I would have mentioned it. Also, the Democratic Party
Speaker 1: is not dead. That was not a landslide, and that
Speaker 1: was not a disaster. As Bill sure, the Politics editor
Speaker 1: of the Washington Monthly noted Democrats, after losing by two points,
Speaker 1: our brand is in ashes. We need a complete overhaul.
Speaker 1: Republicans after losing by four and a half points, Let's
Speaker 1: run the same guy again. For the sake of exactitude.
Speaker 1: It is looking like that final loss number may come
Speaker 1: in at around one and a half points, which would
Speaker 1: make Trump's the fiftieth biggest or if you prefer, fifth
Speaker 1: smallest popular vote margin of all time. But you get
Speaker 1: the idea, So burn it down, no, retire a lot
Speaker 1: of people. Yeah, maybe not necessarily looking at you, Chuck Schumer,
Speaker 1: because there is actually something bigger to face than a
Speaker 1: complete overhaul or what if it was stolen? Bigger but
Speaker 1: happily at least in one sense, more fixable. And let
Speaker 1: me state this again. The election was not stolen. The
Speaker 1: numbers do add up. There aren't discrepancies. Kamala Harris got
Speaker 1: more votes than Jackie Rosen did in Nevada, and Rosen
Speaker 1: got elected and Kamala didn't. Yes, the Russians did make
Speaker 1: bomb threats to keep polling places in the swing states. Yes,
Speaker 1: the Biden administration is going to do nothing about it,
Speaker 1: even though they should just turn off the electricity grid
Speaker 1: in Russia. They're going to do nothing about it, just
Speaker 1: as the Obama administration did nothing about that in twenty sixteen. Yes,
Speaker 1: Merrick Garland should be fired live on pay per view,
Speaker 1: and they should re enact the humiliation scene after the
Speaker 1: court martial of the Chuck Conners character in the ancient
Speaker 1: TV series Branded Only. Instead of the commander breaking the
Speaker 1: guy soared over his knee, he should break Garland's glasses.
Speaker 1: But as somebody who still to this day wants to
Speaker 1: know why they really locked down the vote count in
Speaker 1: Warren County, Ohio on election night two thousand and four
Speaker 1: on a laughable claim that al Qaeda was planning to
Speaker 1: attack Warren County, Ohio, the election was not stolen, not
Speaker 1: in the way you're thinking. It was stolen in the
Speaker 1: sense that the fascists and the anti democracy billionaires have
Speaker 1: been running a series of illicit, hidden, disguised pro Republican
Speaker 1: advertisements twenty four seven, three sixty five for at least
Speaker 1: thirty years. They have been bombarding the underachievers of this nation,
Speaker 1: the in cell, the morons, the idiots, the bros, and
Speaker 1: now the social media addicts of America with a series
Speaker 1: of easy to digest, sweet tasting conspiracy theories that you
Speaker 1: cannot trust the government, that you cannot believe the news media,
Speaker 1: that you cannot think the Democrats can keep you safe.
Speaker 1: That the economy is disastrous, that they are eating the
Speaker 1: cats and they are eating the dogs. That whatever these
Speaker 1: people might be afraid of or angry at at the moment,
Speaker 1: that is the fault of the Democratic villain of the moment,
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton, the Dixie Chicks, Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, me
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and this commercial has been poisoning
Speaker 1: and addicting the gullible twenty four to seven, three sixty
Speaker 1: five via the latest technology, dating back to when the
Speaker 1: latest technology was satellite radio and cable to today when
Speaker 1: it's streaming and gaming and sports talk shows that aren't
Speaker 1: actually about sports. Every day, this is fed to them
Speaker 1: by literally dozens, probably hundreds of twenty four to seven
Speaker 1: spigots that look like television news operations or sound like
Speaker 1: talk shows or podcasts or Twitch game commentary. There's right
Speaker 1: wing Fox News and further right Newsmax and sneaky further
Speaker 1: right Sinclair and Crazy Lindell, Pillow TV, and dark subhuman
Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk TV and Steve Bannon TV and Nick Fuente's TV.
Speaker 1: And if you are most susceptible to a bunch of
Speaker 1: text bros talking about it, they are there to sell
Speaker 1: it to you. And if no, you need to hear
Speaker 1: it from a black man, there's Larry Elder, And if no,
Speaker 1: you need to hear it from a black woman, there's
Speaker 1: Candice Owens. And know if you need to hear it
Speaker 1: from a sitting senator, there's Ted Cruz. And if none
Speaker 1: of that is enough, there is a Sea PAC convention,
Speaker 1: or a Conservative Women's conference, or an American Greatness Leadership
Speaker 1: Summit every other weekend. And finally, if no, that's still
Speaker 1: not enough, you need to be totally drowning in it,
Speaker 1: if you need this to be injected directly into your veins.
Speaker 1: If twenty four seven, three sixty five just isn't enough,
Speaker 1: Elon Musk bought Twitter and now we know why. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: the Democrats have Oh, MSNBC, You're welcome MSNBC except in
Speaker 1: the mornings where the anti Trump guy used to be
Speaker 1: the most virulently pro Trump guy, and except for middays
Speaker 1: where it's my ex making excuses for Trump and nighttime
Speaker 1: when the shows are startlingly dull, and the icon of
Speaker 1: the network vetoed the return of the founding icon of
Speaker 1: the network because she is consumed by Peak. There are
Speaker 1: some pushbacks Midas Network, promising Lincoln Project some podcasts, but
Speaker 1: the New York Times and Washington Post are dead so
Speaker 1: blinded by the sheer volume of right wing bullshit that
Speaker 1: they have been reduced to try to see which one
Speaker 1: of them can bend over further backward to pander to Trump.
Speaker 1: And that's the entirety of the left wing media on
Speaker 1: the right, hundreds of outlets, some of them underwritten by
Speaker 1: the Russian government, ultimately unnecessarily so, because American billionaire after
Speaker 1: American billionaire spends money to make sure that whether three
Speaker 1: hundred thousand people watch Nick Fuentes or three hundred dew
Speaker 1: he's on all the time, with all the motivation in
Speaker 1: the world to stay on, namely all the money in
Speaker 1: the world and the coordination with the Republican Party, with
Speaker 1: the Republican candidates one hundred percent. What do you Joe
Speaker 1: Rogan need from us Trump? He'll be there, somebody else
Speaker 1: She'll be there. They'll be there. Just make sure it's
Speaker 1: at least an hour long, and then you talk about
Speaker 1: it for another ten days. Over here have some podcasts
Speaker 1: this one since we started doubling up on YouTube. Between
Speaker 1: the views and then the verified downloads of the podcast
Speaker 1: last year through yesterday, the audience is fifty three million,
Speaker 1: seven hundred and one, nine hundred and thirty four. Honestly,
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a lot or a little.
Speaker 1: I don't know how many other liberal podcasters have more
Speaker 1: in that kind of time span. I don't know the
Speaker 1: names of most of the liberal podcasters. I don't know
Speaker 1: the name of one liberal streamer. And the next contact
Speaker 1: I get from the Democratic Party or anybody in it
Speaker 1: will be the first. If George Sorows is behind all this,
Speaker 1: he's not very good at it. The next contact I
Speaker 1: get from somebody saying, could we put together at twenty
Speaker 1: four to seven streaming operation and use your podcast or
Speaker 1: or show your podcast at least for a while, or
Speaker 1: you know, since you did create MSNBC, maybe you have
Speaker 1: ideas on how we could do something. As the world
Speaker 1: of media implodes and there are a thousand outlets and
Speaker 1: like nine of them are liberal, next time I hear
Speaker 1: that that'll be the first two. I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: sell this podcast, certainly not to you, you're already listening
Speaker 1: to it. I don't need the money, and I'd like
Speaker 1: to retire. Actually that was the plan, Kamala. The plan
Speaker 1: was I got to retire last week. But we aren't
Speaker 1: just losing the media wars. We're not even fighting back.
Speaker 1: The Harris campaign spent like a billion dollars on commercials
Speaker 1: on television and online, and they spent just as much
Speaker 1: as every other Democratic campaign and Democratic leader has on
Speaker 1: the NonStop slerms spigot of streaming propaganda nothing and you
Speaker 1: know what happens. Then, if you have no new media infrastructure,
Speaker 1: grassroots or astro turf or Russian sponsored or whatever, not
Speaker 1: only can't you sell your candidate. You not only can't
Speaker 1: lie if you decide you have to or want to,
Speaker 1: but you can't tell the online audience the truth about
Speaker 1: the fascists. They hear one thing everywhere and assume that's
Speaker 1: the marketplace of ideas. We're not only not even in
Speaker 1: the marketplace of ideas, We're not only not set up
Speaker 1: at the marketplace of ideas, we don't even know where
Speaker 1: the marketplace of ideas is you go down here, make
Speaker 1: seventeen laughs, and then you're there and you know what happens.
Speaker 1: Then the New Republic Greg Sargeant got a look at
Speaker 1: the real internal Harris research quote. It proved disturbingly difficult
Speaker 1: to persuade undecided voters that Trump had been a bad president.
Speaker 1: Internal testing in all the battleground states over the course
Speaker 1: of many months yielded a result that unnerve the campaign.
Speaker 1: According to a senior Harris campaign operative who has seen
Speaker 1: the data, it was this undecided voters didn't believe that
Speaker 1: some of the highest profile things that happened during Trump's presidency,
Speaker 1: even if they saw these things negatively, were his fault. Quote.
Speaker 1: People gave him a total pass because of COVID. The
Speaker 1: operative says there was frustration inside the campaign that voters
Speaker 1: turned the massive job losses into a non issue. Added
Speaker 1: a second Democratic operative, privy to internal data, unquote, same
Speaker 1: on convincing them about social security cuts to come, or
Speaker 1: even that he made social security cuts last time. Same
Speaker 1: on abortion. On abortion, they gave him a pass on
Speaker 1: appointing the Supreme Court justices who perjured themselves and then
Speaker 1: gutted Roe v. Wade. Quoting again from Greg Sargent and
Speaker 1: the internal Harris polling. That's because they didn't believe Trump
Speaker 1: himself was sincerely anti choice. These voters thought he's ambivalent
Speaker 1: about abortion because many didn't think he had core principles,
Speaker 1: so he won because he didn't have any principles. As
Speaker 1: in aside, we have now entered the era of post principles,
Speaker 1: post character, post belief, post policy presidential campaigns. Twenty five
Speaker 1: years ago, we all mocked the idea that George Bush
Speaker 1: had won because as an afterthought, he was the one
Speaker 1: you would prefer to have a beer with. Today it's
Speaker 1: the only thing in the campaign. It's only about having
Speaker 1: the metaphorical beer. You can see it in retrospect even
Speaker 1: with Obama. McCain was a grumpy old man. Romney was
Speaker 1: a grumpy younger man with a two slick by a
Speaker 1: half voice. Trump. They liked Trump from TV. They got
Speaker 1: sick of him in twenty twenty. Friends of theirs had died,
Speaker 1: but they missed his entertainment value, and they forgot about
Speaker 1: their dead friends the end, and prices were higher. If
Speaker 1: I had to pick one Democrat today as the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty eight nominee, and I couldn't Convince Taylor Swift or
Speaker 1: Missus Obama. I'd pick John Fetterman. I think John Fetterman
Speaker 1: might be crazy. I rabibly agree with John Fetterman on
Speaker 1: about thirty percent of issues. But he's a great character,
Speaker 1: perfect for the unrealistic world the election deciding part of
Speaker 1: America now lives in, and the Left is not in
Speaker 1: that world at all. Oh yeah, and if you don't
Speaker 1: have a twenty four to seven three sixty five media infrastructure,
Speaker 1: when the economy is robust and inflation is rolling back
Speaker 1: and the recovery is the best in the world, you
Speaker 1: have no way to convince anybody that that's true, and
Speaker 1: that the prices at the gas pump and that the
Speaker 1: wah wah and the sheets are happening to rise and
Speaker 1: stay risen because the corporations and billionaires like Jeff Bezos
Speaker 1: and Elon Musk and Trump, they're the ones who raise
Speaker 1: the prices and stole the money out of your household budgets.
Speaker 1: They are the guilty parties. We should be screaming that,
Speaker 1: except there's nobody here to scream. There's nobody to tell
Speaker 1: these people that the Republicans will tell them anything. If
Speaker 1: you don't have the infrastructure. You can't drill it into
Speaker 1: their heads that Trump is insane, that an outright abortion
Speaker 1: ban is coming, that he almost killed them in twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: and now he's going to try to do it again.
Speaker 1: If you don't have the media infrastructure, and the political
Speaker 1: world has devolved into media wars, you're gonna lose. All right,
Speaker 1: we lost, that's right. Different. By the way, I am
Speaker 1: not pushing this podcast as the mob for everything the
Speaker 1: left needs to do to save the country. If that's
Speaker 1: still on the table. I'm going to be sixty six
Speaker 1: in two months. God helped me a week after the inauguration.
Speaker 1: If I survived the week after the inauguration, I am
Speaker 1: too old to run this crap. I might be able
Speaker 1: to help start it, though, then retire to the old
Speaker 1: Sports Center home in Bristol, Connecticut. Yeah, A, thank you
Speaker 1: very much, Nancy Faust. I mean. In two thousand and
Speaker 1: four and two thousand and five, Liz Winstead and Al
Speaker 1: Franken and a bunch of very talented liberals launched an
Speaker 1: all liberal radio network in hopes of countering Limbaugh and
Speaker 1: Savage and Hannity and O'Reilly. And they got like six
Speaker 1: listeners and Mattow was one of the hosts, and she
Speaker 1: had so not succeeded that when Tucker Carlson MSNBC show
Speaker 1: began to die, they had to, for budget reasons, fire
Speaker 1: one of the two liberal foils they used to have
Speaker 1: on to counter Tucker Carlson, So they kept Max Kellerman
Speaker 1: and fired Rachel Maadow. Meanwhile, at MSNBC, NBC's attempt to
Speaker 1: go further to the right than Fox had failed so
Speaker 1: badly that they had fired everybody and were preparing to
Speaker 1: run the little nightly news show they had called Countdown,
Speaker 1: and then at nine pm every night turned the rest
Speaker 1: of the night and much of the day and the
Speaker 1: whole weekend over to prison documentaries, basically ten to fifteen
Speaker 1: hours a day of prison documentaries. Nobody at NBC News
Speaker 1: headquarters even bothered to watch MSNBC anymore so when I
Speaker 1: started to go anti war and anti phony terrorism warnings
Speaker 1: and anti Bush. By the time management even noticed we
Speaker 1: were a hit, and instead of throwing me in the
Speaker 1: trunk of a car, they handed me an armored car
Speaker 1: full of cash. And still I was mocked on the
Speaker 1: left as doing this for ratings, as trying to be
Speaker 1: the left's bill O'Reilly, and I was mocked for trying
Speaker 1: to launch other shows hosted by liberals on MSNBC rather
Speaker 1: than tenaciously and viciously holding on to my liberal TV monopoly.
Speaker 1: To this day, liberal media is mocked. It is territorial,
Speaker 1: It is spiteful, it is amateurish, It is tiny, and
Speaker 1: it is unplanned. And when it was unplanned in two
Speaker 1: thousand and five and MSNBC sprung out of it organically,
Speaker 1: that was a good thing. Surprise. Right now, it's a
Speaker 1: fatal thing. We don't have a billionaire supporting anything. We
Speaker 1: don't have a Joe Rogan. We don't even have a
Speaker 1: Keith Olberman, a young Keith Olderman. And you know the
Speaker 1: joke one, who's this Keith Olberman guy? Two? Get me
Speaker 1: Keith Olberman. Three, get me a Keith Olverman.
Speaker 2: Four?
Speaker 1: How about a young Keith Olberman five? Whatever happened to
Speaker 1: Keith Oldman? Six? Keith Houberman? Okay, a lot of self
Speaker 1: indulgence today. On the other hand, it may be unseemly,
Speaker 1: but it ain't untrue. I will sum this up. If
Speaker 1: Democrats think they can win with their media ecosystem, ooh,
Speaker 1: phone banks. If they think they can win the midterms
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six or the presidency in twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 1: This way, if there is an election, if they think
Speaker 1: we can win, we are crazy. Oh and by the way,
Speaker 1: the fascist media ecosystem I described earlier with its thousands tentacles,
Speaker 1: has already begun to support the cancelation of the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty eight election. Yeah, it began last year. They started
Speaker 1: to do this last year. Well. A twenty second amendment
Speaker 1: ononium plies two consecutive terms a third trip. If we
Speaker 1: are not ready to shoot back and win the streaming
Speaker 1: wars within a year's time, we should instead devote our
Speaker 1: energies to fleeing. Also of interest here, the good news
Speaker 1: is the Trump wresh primary and most effective opponent at
Speaker 1: the moment is the Trump Wresch. We have finally found
Speaker 1: out what is behind the push to deport immigrants. It's
Speaker 1: not to deport them, it's to detain them. Because it
Speaker 1: turns out the profits are in detaining them. And guess
Speaker 1: which industry is all ready to make those profits. And
Speaker 1: from no less an ass kissing source than Politico, Trump
Speaker 1: World has devolved into a quote dick fight for dominance
Speaker 1: between Chris las Avida and Corey Lewandowski. Now see here's
Speaker 1: where side show Bobby Kennedy could reassert himself, right, that's next.
Speaker 1: This is Countdown. This is Countdown with Keith Olberman. This
Speaker 1: is the Countdown podcast. And these are the places where
Speaker 1: there are postscripts to the news, some headlines, some updates,
Speaker 1: some snark, some predictions, par lago. This is from Politico
Speaker 1: on Thursday, and I read it altering only a couple
Speaker 1: of words, because as salty as I am, I really
Speaker 1: do believe I have an F bomb quota and this
Speaker 1: would put me way over it for like the whole
Speaker 1: year and next. And I read it in full because
Speaker 1: this is what winning looks like in the maga hellscape
Speaker 1: of our new insect overlords. Quote los Sevita's revenge. Backstage
Speaker 1: at Donald Trump's watch party Tuesday night, before the now
Speaker 1: president elect took the stage, the notoriously pugnacious Cory Lewandowski
Speaker 1: did something a bit unusual. He extended an olive branch
Speaker 1: to a foe. After being brought into the campaign fold
Speaker 1: in late summer, Lewandowski was sidelined by Trump for trying
Speaker 1: to elbow his way to the top and causing drama
Speaker 1: with the team. The man who had been Trump's first
Speaker 1: campaign manager in the twenty sixteen cycle had been locked
Speaker 1: in what a GOP official once described to us as
Speaker 1: a quote dick fight for dominance with Chris los Savita,
Speaker 1: who was running the twenty twenty four show with Susie
Speaker 1: Wiles before he left this year's campaign. Trump officials believe
Speaker 1: Lewandowski planted a slew of negative stories about los Aveta,
Speaker 1: including one in The Daily Beast that suggested he personally
Speaker 1: banked millions off Trump campaign entities over two years. When
Speaker 1: Trump saw the story, he reportedly flipped out and confronted Losaveta,
Speaker 1: who pulled up bank statements and FEC reports to argue
Speaker 1: the story was wrong. He wasn't swindling Trump that the
Speaker 1: money sent to his businesses overwhelmingly went to pay for
Speaker 1: campaign ads. By Tuesday, as Trump basked in the limelight
Speaker 1: of his election, Lewandowski apparently saw the writing on the
Speaker 1: wall and realized that he needed to make peace with
Speaker 1: a man who had won back Trump's trust and shepherded
Speaker 1: him to victory. He extended a hand to las Avita
Speaker 1: and offered a congratulations. Instead of shaking his hand, la
Speaker 1: Savita pointed to him square in the chest and tore
Speaker 1: into him. According to people familiar with the EXCHANGEF you
Speaker 1: you and F you you have f't with the wrong person.
Speaker 1: I'm going to effing destroy you. Lasavita and the RNC
Speaker 1: now appear to be teaming up to do just that. Yesterday,
Speaker 1: a lawyer working on their behalf sent a legal threat
Speaker 1: to The Daily Beast demanding the story be corrected and
Speaker 1: or retracted. In fact, they later did change the story
Speaker 1: to say the money went to the companies, not to
Speaker 1: him personally. Notably, the RNC hired Mark Garrigos, a hard
Speaker 1: hitting criminal defense lawyer whose roster of former clients includes
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson. That's the right one to have. In the letter,
Speaker 1: Garrigos asserts the story as categorically false. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: But Los Savita and the RNC aren't stopping there. We're
Speaker 1: told that in the days ahead they plan to send
Speaker 1: letters to others involved in the story. And since the
Speaker 1: letter clearly points to Lewandowski for providing the publication with
Speaker 1: unreliable information in a blatant act against mister los Avita
Speaker 1: and the RNC, we can guess what's going to be
Speaker 1: showing up in Lewandowski's mailbox soon. Meanwhile, The Daily Beast
Speaker 1: is reporting that Lewandowski personally says he won't be joining
Speaker 1: the administration. No shocker there. The campaign is over. We're
Speaker 1: focused on delivering the promises. Ah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: Las Sevita declined to comment, but around the time we
Speaker 1: reached out about this tip, he tweeted a picture of
Speaker 1: HBO's famous mob boss Tony Soprano flipping the bird. If
Speaker 1: you know why I'm posting this, then well you know,
Speaker 1: Lasavita wrote, So as we continue to watch in horror
Speaker 1: at the Democrats post mortem, hey there's too much post
Speaker 1: and not enough mortem circular firing squad, Let's just remember
Speaker 1: this sweet little image of Lasovita planning to destroy Lewandowski,
Speaker 1: and remember that this is why all the fascists are
Speaker 1: in politics, just for that kind of bloodlust. Let's just
Speaker 1: remember that that is how they behave after they have won.
Speaker 1: Mister Lsavita, mister Lewandowski, more of this. Please. We are
Speaker 1: the Democrats. We are great at circular firing squads. But
Speaker 1: we bow to you with amazed respect that you can
Speaker 1: do it in literally the moments after a presidential election.
Speaker 1: If you need any further advice on circular firing squad logistics,
Speaker 1: just ask. We can't do much to destroy you for
Speaker 1: two years at least, but hot dam you seem ready
Speaker 1: and willing to destroy yourselves. And this is the subject
Speaker 1: that I can get all bi partisan about Wall Street.
Speaker 1: The day after Trump's election, Stock in a company called
Speaker 1: Geogroup Inc. Rose forty one percent. Stock in its rival,
Speaker 1: core Civic Inc. Went up twenty nine percent. And because
Speaker 1: those numbers did what they did, we now know what
Speaker 1: the old man's Trump purge is actually all about. All
Speaker 1: of the immigration issues and all of the deportation issues,
Speaker 1: and all of the roundups, and all of the camps
Speaker 1: and all the rest of the hate. What do Geogroup
Speaker 1: and core Civic do they build and run private prisons.
Speaker 1: Group already has contracts with Immigration ice to the tune
Speaker 1: of a billion dollars. I'm the editor in chief of
Speaker 1: the Ohio Capital Journal, David DeWitt quote. To deport twenty
Speaker 1: million people a number Trump has claimed they need to
Speaker 1: build massive camps, deportation detention camps where people are concentrated.
Speaker 1: To handle such massive numbers, Brokers are speculating a nice
Speaker 1: windfall for a private prison giant on the backs of
Speaker 1: millions of families being put in camps unquote. Apart from
Speaker 1: the obvious, the other thing that disturbs me about this
Speaker 1: is I made a joke about this last week about
Speaker 1: how if you order forty thousand prefab concentration camps from
Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos's Amazon, it'll be free delivery. Never dawned on me,
Speaker 1: even after all this, It never dawned on me. And
Speaker 1: that's sure. There's hate, treated racism and cruelty, but basically
Speaker 1: Trump is in the immigration and deportation thing because it's
Speaker 1: another source of income. Brussels NATO headquarters, while the understandably
Speaker 1: upset members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization wonder what's
Speaker 1: next for, you know, not being overrun by a Russian
Speaker 1: war against Europe while Trump is playing with his toes.
Speaker 1: There is the reverse angle on this if you are
Speaker 1: Canada or England or France or Germany or any other
Speaker 1: country with a halfway decent intelligence operation. After Trump's clear
Speaker 1: indebtedness to Putin became evident again and the Republican Party's
Speaker 1: subsummation by Russia, and the evidence already out in public
Speaker 1: about all the classified documents he read aloud to passers
Speaker 1: by and book publishers and stole last time, Why would
Speaker 1: you ever share intelligence with the United States of America? Again?
Speaker 1: Better yet, how could you now resist not sharing with
Speaker 1: Trump the wrong intel? Fake intelligence, like documents showing that
Speaker 1: Putin is going to invade Uranus or something, just to
Speaker 1: see how long it would be before it's surfaced somewhere
Speaker 1: else dateline Silicon Valley now comes the revenge of the
Speaker 1: tech pros Mark Andresen, who invented something with computers? Who
Speaker 1: knows they'll never remember him who invented the flash drive?
Speaker 1: You have any idea who cares? He was a Democrat,
Speaker 1: then his net worth dropped by a million or something
Speaker 1: due to taxes. Now he's a Trumpist, and he wants
Speaker 1: nothing less than the prosecution of everybody who doesn't give
Speaker 1: Elon Musk money. I have no doubt. He writes that
Speaker 1: the orchestrated advertiser boycotts and censorship operations of the last
Speaker 1: decade have been criminal conspiracies. They all need to end
Speaker 1: right now. Everyone involved in the long standing illegal joint
Speaker 1: government university company censorship apparatus should take care to preserve
Speaker 1: their files and communications. Sunlight is coming. The orchestrated advertiser
Speaker 1: boycott against X and popular podcasts must end immediately, and
Speaker 1: restraint of trade is a prosecutable crime. Here it is
Speaker 1: send musk three dollars. Oh, you're going to be in
Speaker 1: big trouble. Date Line, Dallas. The NFL Dallas Cowboys did
Speaker 1: their Veterans Day salute a day early. They had a
Speaker 1: perfect built in honoree their first coach, the man who
Speaker 1: almost single handedly made them into America's team for owner
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones made them into America's laughingstock. Their first coach,
Speaker 1: Tom Landry, was a World War II bomber pilot who
Speaker 1: flew twenty six missions over occupied Europe, including one where
Speaker 1: they evaded the German guns but kind of ran out
Speaker 1: of gas and had to crash land in Belgium. They
Speaker 1: honored Tom Landry on the Cowboys scoreboard during the game yesterday,
Speaker 1: complete with a photo of him in his trademark coaches hat,
Speaker 1: and they misspelled Tom Landry's name. It spelled la n
Speaker 1: d r Y his old team, but Dallas Cowboys spelled
Speaker 1: it la U n d r Y Laundry. Coach Tom Laundry,
Speaker 1: We honor Tom Laundry, talk about whitewashing history. Worst Person's
Speaker 1: next new format for at least this episode. Before we go,
Speaker 1: there are still more new idiots to talk about. The
Speaker 1: daily roundup of the misgrants, morons and Dunning Kruger Effects
Speaker 1: Best Samenzo constitute today's other worst persons in the World
Speaker 1: Bronze Worse. Eric Adams, mayor of New York City Gotham
Speaker 1: Fun City, Don't blame me, I voted for the garbage Commissioner, Lady.
Speaker 1: Recent polling has indicated that seventy percent of New Yorkers
Speaker 1: now want him to resign because seven percent seven seven
Speaker 1: the number between six and eight seven percent believe he
Speaker 1: has not committed a crime. His approval ratings he doesn't
Speaker 1: have any he has disapproval ratings. He actually is at
Speaker 1: strong approval by seventeen percent of African American New Yorkers.
Speaker 1: Adams has now revealed that he has done exactly what
Speaker 1: you would do if you face the city ready to
Speaker 1: seriously reconsider Andrew Wiener or Andrew Cuomo to replace you, apologize,
Speaker 1: address the residents on TV No. He has called Trump
Speaker 1: insisted he did not discuss his own criminal case with Trump,
Speaker 1: did not say pardon me. President elect did not talk
Speaker 1: about joining the Republican Party. Can you see where he's
Speaker 1: going with this? Though? The runner up, Congressman Seth Moulton
Speaker 1: of Massachusetts. Just when you thought Tulsey Gabbard was the
Speaker 1: biggest moron to seek the Democratic nomination for president in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, there's this imbecile from the New York Times
Speaker 1: circular firing squad time Seth happily brought nail clippers. Representative
Speaker 1: Seth Moulton of Massachusetts suggests that the party should shift
Speaker 1: its approach to transgender issues. Quote. Democrats spend way too
Speaker 1: much time trying not to offend anyone, rather than being
Speaker 1: brutally honest about the challenge as many Americans face. Mister
Speaker 1: Moulton said, I have two little girls. I don't want
Speaker 1: them getting run over on a playing fee by a
Speaker 1: male and formerly mail athlete. But as a Democrat, I'm
Speaker 1: supposed to be afraid to say that. Multon who is
Speaker 1: an imbecile, promptly saw his press spokesman and top advisor
Speaker 1: resign in protest. He has since doubled down on his
Speaker 1: remarks and says he's confused because the Massachusetts State Democratic
Speaker 1: chairperson will not return his calls, his calls, including his
Speaker 1: call insisting that the way forward for the Democratic Party
Speaker 1: after the presidential loss and the House loss and the
Speaker 1: Senate loss is to become transphobic. That that's the wave
Speaker 1: of the future, that's the slogan Democrats. We now hate
Speaker 1: transgendered people. And he wants to do this because of
Speaker 1: the zero point zero zero zero zero zero zero zero
Speaker 1: zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero
Speaker 1: zero one percent chance that his little gals get run
Speaker 1: over during a sporting event by one of the what
Speaker 1: do transgender athletes in Massachusetts scholastic sports? You know what's
Speaker 1: likelier that Seth Moulton's daughters will be run over on
Speaker 1: a playing field by Seth Moulton because he's so totally
Speaker 1: lost he runs out onto the playing field. You are
Speaker 1: supposed to be afraid to say something like that, Congressman.
Speaker 1: It's hateful, barbarous, likely to get somebody hurt, indicates that
Speaker 1: you're a bigot, no moron, and since you're too stupid
Speaker 1: to understand any of that, consider it in these terms.
Speaker 1: It will end your political career. But our winner the
Speaker 1: worst Emerald Robinson. Emerald Robinson used to be a correspondent
Speaker 1: for One American News. Consider that job for a moment.
Speaker 1: Is she crazy? Yeah, very much, so hire her immediately.
Speaker 1: Did you see her last report? I did give her
Speaker 1: a raise. She's even crazier than we thought. Then they
Speaker 1: realized she was making stuff up and she was too
Speaker 1: crazy even for them, So One American News fired her,
Speaker 1: and she was hired by Newsmax for two years, and
Speaker 1: then they realized she was making stuff up and she
Speaker 1: was too crazy even for them, and they fired her.
Speaker 1: And now she's on Mike Lindell's website Frank, which they
Speaker 1: call Frank because Chairman of the Board TV was taken Lindell.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Trump's Secretary of the Department of Pillows and
Speaker 1: Homeland betting. Mike Lindell is two nuts to notice anything.
Speaker 1: So Emerald Robinson is still on there, apparently doing stuff
Speaker 1: like what she wrote about the Senate race in Arizona.
Speaker 1: It's all you need to know about this in advance.
Speaker 1: It's the Senate race somebody called a suburban black man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: in Moscow. The vote count in the Arizona Senate race
Speaker 1: between Carrie Lake R And Reuben Diego d hasn't moved
Speaker 1: in hours, and we're supposed to think this is all
Speaker 1: totally normal. Meanwhile, Trump flipped Arizona with ease. It makes sense.
Speaker 1: And she retweeted this and said it's called cheating. Now
Speaker 1: you ready for the operative part. Democrats are trying to
Speaker 1: flip the house by cheating. It's the Senate race, dimbolb
Speaker 1: Senate Diego defeating Lake was for the Senate. Has nothing
Speaker 1: to do with flipping the house. The House and the
Speaker 1: Senate are two different things. Yeah, I know, surprised me
Speaker 1: too when I was six. There's nothing to do with
Speaker 1: flipping the house or not flipping the house, or flipping
Speaker 1: the pancakes. Also, Emerald, why would the Democrats cheat to
Speaker 1: steal the Arizona Senate vote but not the Arizona Electoral
Speaker 1: College vote? You idiot? There is a reason. Emerald Robinson's
Speaker 1: Wikipedia profile begins Emerald Robinson is an American broadcaster and
Speaker 1: conspiracy theorist. Unquote like she has a freaking degree in it.
Speaker 1: I majored in conspiracy theory. Actually, we don't know where
Speaker 1: she majored or what she majored in, because her bio
Speaker 1: has no date of birth or personal data, like whether
Speaker 1: she's originally from this planet or what her names used
Speaker 1: to be. It mentions that she used to be an actress.
Speaker 1: IMDb is far more informative. It tells us she was
Speaker 1: Ruthie in You, Me and Five Bucks. I believe Laurence
Speaker 1: Olivier was in that. But her breakout role was in
Speaker 1: the twenty sixteen hit Miracles from Heaven, where she played
Speaker 1: Woman with Big Hair Emerald. That was part of the
Speaker 1: Woman with Big Hair trilogy. Woman with Big Hair, Woman
Speaker 1: with Bigger Hair, and woman whose hair was so big
Speaker 1: it crushed her cervical vertebrae. Robinson two days worst person then,
Speaker 1: don't tell anybody, But like half this episode was music
Speaker 1: done all the damage I can do here ro let
Speaker 1: the music do the damage for me. Thank you for listening.
Speaker 1: Follow me for the podcast promo videos on Blue Sky YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, x, Instagram, threads,
Speaker 1: and fred Face, but no longer on TikTok. They banned
Speaker 1: me from TikTok for sharing a satirical anti Trump meme.
Speaker 1: There'll be a camp for that soon enough. Brian Ray
Speaker 1: and John Phillips Shaneil, the musical directors, have Countdown Arrange
Speaker 1: produced and performed most of our music. Mister Chanelle handled
Speaker 1: orchestration and keyboards. Mister Ray was on the guitars, bass
Speaker 1: and drums. It was produced by Tko Brothers. Our satirical
Speaker 1: and fifty musical comments are by the best baseball stadium
Speaker 1: organist ever, Nancy Faust. And yes, that little joke at
Speaker 1: the beginning, I staged that entirely. Nancy's not mad that
Speaker 1: I know of sports music is the Olderman theme from
Speaker 1: ESPN two, which was written by Mitch Warren Davis courtesy
Speaker 1: of ESPN Inc. Other music arranged and performed by the
Speaker 1: group No Horns Allowed. My announcer today was my ever
Speaker 1: faithful friend Larry David, and everything else is pretty much
Speaker 1: my fault. That's countdown for today, just one, five hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty two days until the scal sled end of
Speaker 1: the term of lame duck President Trump. The next scheduled
Speaker 1: countdown is Thursday. Still playing this scheduling by EAR. I
Speaker 1: may do shorter ten minute editions as the news warrants,
Speaker 1: if that works for you, and then two main ones
Speaker 1: during the week. Let's see as always bulletins as the
Speaker 1: news warrants till the next one. I'm Keith Olderman, good morning,
Speaker 1: good afternoon, goodnight, and good luck. Countdown with Keith Olderman
Speaker 1: is a production of iHeartRadio. For more podcasts from iHeartRadio,
