Speaker 1: Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. Firstly,
Speaker 1: I apologize to President Vladimir Zelenski and the people of
Speaker 1: Ukraine on behalf of the people of the United States
Speaker 1: of America, the real people of the United States of America,
Speaker 1: not the half brained Russian stooges and assets. Our sense
Speaker 1: of shame and regret is today immeasurable. Ours the real
Speaker 1: people of the United States of America. We are almost
Speaker 1: always generous, We are largely well intentioned, and when we
Speaker 1: are neither, when we are at our most self centered,
Speaker 1: at least we are heretofore smart enough and willing enough
Speaker 1: to let other people fight our fights for us, as
Speaker 1: Ukraine is, and let others die battling fascists and dictators
Speaker 1: and scum like Putin instead of us. Forgive us, President Zelenski,
Speaker 1: for having inflicted this idiot animal trump upon you, and
Speaker 1: for permitting him and his little worthless idiot bitch vance
Speaker 1: to ambush you that way, and for admitting to your
Speaker 1: meeting a reporter from TASS, the Russia propaganda source vaguely
Speaker 1: dressed up as a news organization, and for harboring this
Speaker 1: South African stoner. Credit grabbing idiot and permitting him to
Speaker 1: taunt you as you left the White House, and as
Speaker 1: you departed the White House, to return the sum of
Speaker 1: all the human dignity in the White House right now
Speaker 1: to zero. We will never let Trump forget what he
Speaker 1: did to you today. We will make him a t
Speaker 1: own and all those who serve him and do not
Speaker 1: resign and disassociate themselves from him immediately just out of
Speaker 1: sheer embarrassment over being so wrong, so loudly, and being
Speaker 1: in the service of such a moron as Trump. They
Speaker 1: have from this day forfeited their legitimacy as quote leaders
Speaker 1: unquote of this nation. As the pack of diuretic farm
Speaker 1: animals Trump calls a cabinets has also from this day
Speaker 1: forward forfeited its legitimacy as our government. And to that point,
Speaker 1: Trump must now lose power. We the people of the
Speaker 1: United States of America, will not live in a kleptocracy.
Speaker 1: We the people of the United States of America, will
Speaker 1: not live in an idiocracy. We the people of the
Speaker 1: United States of America, will not live in a muskocracy.
Speaker 1: Today there was a twenty four hour consumer boycott, poorly publicized,
Speaker 1: poorly covered by our increasingly stenographic media until it was
Speaker 1: about halfway over. Now after today, we must have a
Speaker 1: twenty four day consumer boycott, then a twenty four month
Speaker 1: consumer boycott. If this is about businesses rushing to back Trump,
Speaker 1: let's break these businesses in half and starve their billionaire owners.
Speaker 1: Today we witnessed the most disgraceful and Unamerican act by
Speaker 1: any president in our history. And I include Nixon and
Speaker 1: Watergate and Bush and Iraq and everything Trump has previously done.
Speaker 1: Now we must consume his presidency and force it to
Speaker 1: do nothing else henceforth but to defend this disgusting, pre
Speaker 1: planned act on behalf of Putin and Russia. To defend
Speaker 1: it every hour and every day and every week, and
Speaker 1: do nothing else, and accomplish nothing else until we force
Speaker 1: him to resign the presidency. On President's Day, the fifty
Speaker 1: to fifty one movement fifty states fifty protests one movement
Speaker 1: protested in Washington and in state capitals. Now we must
Speaker 1: protest Trump and his attempt of which today's shameful attack
Speaker 1: don Zelenski was a part to install himself permanently in power.
Speaker 1: And we must do it every day in every city
Speaker 1: until nothing else in this country matters, and nothing else
Speaker 1: in this country happens in the sixties and before, and
Speaker 1: in decreasing measures since we mobilized on the streets to
Speaker 1: protest and stop the degradation of our citizens of color
Speaker 1: and the murder of our citizens of every color via
Speaker 1: the Draft and the Vietnam War. Now we must have
Speaker 1: protests that recognize that at this moment, all of us,
Speaker 1: you and me are being reshaped by Trump and his
Speaker 1: terrorist gang into the equivalent of the victims of segregation
Speaker 1: and of the draftees sent to Southeast Asia to be slaughtered.
Speaker 1: Civil disobedience, tax strike, general strike. Trump must go in
Speaker 1: some respects today, Trump did the world a favor. Trump
Speaker 1: did America a favor. Trump did you and I a favor.
Speaker 1: Do not mistake what happened in the Oval Office today.
Speaker 1: That was not Trump losing his temper or giving way
Speaker 1: to his only recognizable kind of human instincts, violence and vengeance.
Speaker 1: That was an ambush. Vance was there. Vance was only
Speaker 1: there to demand z Lensky personally thanked Trump, to personally
Speaker 1: kiss Trump's ass, because that's what creatures like Vance exist
Speaker 1: to do to service snakes like Trump, to pleasure snakes
Speaker 1: like Trump, because even Trump knows you cannot yourself in
Speaker 1: public demand that someone else kiss your ass in thanks
Speaker 1: to create some diaphanous cover of possible legitimacy, to pretend
Speaker 1: that the other person should be grateful to you and
Speaker 1: for you. That claim must be made by a third party.
Speaker 1: It must be done for you. It is why Vance
Speaker 1: is vice president. He has no scruples and no shame.
Speaker 1: He was there to read a script, as usual. He
Speaker 1: read it poorly, but in Trump's addled, diseased mind, JV.
Speaker 1: Vance served his purpose. Even a mediocre dracula with bad
Speaker 1: teeth still has to have a ren Field, and Vance
Speaker 1: is Trump. No, it was not spontaneous, but many will
Speaker 1: think it so, and even those who don't will have
Speaker 1: seen the real Trump, the Trump he has so frequently
Speaker 1: tried to hide, especially on the campaign trail last year.
Speaker 1: I think the world has yet to fully process the
Speaker 1: real meaning of Trump's bizarre remark years ago that he
Speaker 1: could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue outside his own front
Speaker 1: door and not lose any support. The real meaning was
Speaker 1: hinted at today in the Oval office. He has thought
Speaker 1: about shooting people. Not a fantasy, not a theory, not
Speaker 1: a what if he has thought about shooting people, he
Speaker 1: had thought through the ramifications of shooting someone on Fifth Avenue.
Speaker 1: And when he said what he said, he had just
Speaker 1: realized that for whatever cataclysm in our society, the calculus
Speaker 1: had changed and he could now get away with it.
Speaker 1: Saying he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue was in
Speaker 1: fact saying that sooner or later he would shoot someone
Speaker 1: on Fifth Avenue or at the White House. And if
Speaker 1: not literally, then figuratively. And that person, no doubt, on
Speaker 1: Putin's instructions, was Voladimir Zelenski. And everybody who already hated
Speaker 1: Trump and recognized the mortal danger he faces to the
Speaker 1: world now hates him anew and with freshened vigor, and
Speaker 1: everybody who thought he could be contained and directed and
Speaker 1: exploited now sees they were again diluting themselves. And then
Speaker 1: there are those in the middle who could never really
Speaker 1: picture until today what it would look or sound like
Speaker 1: if the President of the United States was insane, was
Speaker 1: the worst person in the world, was a racist, murderous, psychopathic,
Speaker 1: quasi human who isn't even smart enough to realize he
Speaker 1: is attacking Zelenski, the man who would save him. On
Speaker 1: behalf of putin the man who would destroy them both
Speaker 1: those people in the middle. And maybe there are a
Speaker 1: million of them, maybe there are one hundred million of them.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't care. They have now seen
Speaker 1: and heard exactly what Trump the animal is, or they
Speaker 1: will see and will hear it, or they must see
Speaker 1: and must hear it, or we must show it to
Speaker 1: them every day for the rest of the Trump dictatorship.
Speaker 2: I'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that's going to
Speaker 2: end the destruction of your country.
Speaker 3: Yes, but if you present with respect.
Speaker 2: I think it's disrespectful for you to come into the
Speaker 2: Oval Office to try to litigate this.
Speaker 3: In front of the American media.
Speaker 2: Right now, you guys are going around and forcing conscripts
Speaker 2: to the front lines because you have manpower problem.
Speaker 3: You should be thinking, the president for everybody to bring
Speaker 3: it into this country. You have been to Ukraine that
Speaker 3: do you say what problems we have?
Speaker 2: I have been to come on, I've actually I've actually
Speaker 2: watched and seen the stories, and I know what happens
Speaker 2: is you bring people, you bring them on a propaganda tour.
Speaker 2: Mister president, are do you disagree that you've had problems
Speaker 2: bringing people in your military.
Speaker 3: And do you think that I expect Alan to come
Speaker 3: to the Oval Office.
Speaker 2: In the United States of America and attack the administration
Speaker 2: that is trying to trying to prevent the destruction of
Speaker 2: your comany.
Speaker 4: A lot of a lot of questions. Let's start from
Speaker 4: the beginning, sure Hills to wall. During the war, everybody
Speaker 4: has problems, even you. But you have nice otion and
Speaker 4: don't feel now.
Speaker 3: But you will feel it in the future. God bless you,
Speaker 3: God bless You're not blessed. You don't know.
Speaker 5: You got to Don't tell us what we're going to feel.
Speaker 5: We're trying to solve a problem. Don't tell us what
Speaker 5: we're going to feel. I'm not telling you because you're
Speaker 5: in no position to dictate that.
Speaker 3: Remember this, you're in.
Speaker 5: No position to dictate what we're going to feel.
Speaker 3: You're willing to feel very good, feel influenced. We're going
Speaker 3: to feel very good and very strong. It will feel influenced.
Speaker 5: You're right now not in a very good position. You've
Speaker 5: allowed you to be in a beginning.
Speaker 3: From the very beginning of the war, and not in
Speaker 3: a good position. You don't have the cards right now
Speaker 3: with us.
Speaker 5: You start having going car right now you don't wear
Speaker 5: You're gambling with the lives of millions of people.
Speaker 3: See you're gambling with World War three. You're gambling with
Speaker 3: World War three.
Speaker 5: And what you're doing is very disrespectful to the country,
Speaker 5: this country.
Speaker 3: Far more than a lot of people said they should have.
Speaker 3: Have you said thank you once a locker of times.
Speaker 2: No, media, you said, you went to Pennsylvania and campaigned
Speaker 2: for the opposition in October. Offer some words of appreciation
Speaker 2: for the United States of America and the president who's
Speaker 2: trying to save your country.
Speaker 3: That meeting, No, in this entire.
Speaker 2: Meeting, you said things you went to Pennsylvania and campaigned
Speaker 2: for the opposition in October, offers some words of appreciation
Speaker 2: for the United States of America and the president who's
Speaker 2: trying to save your country.
Speaker 3: Please, you're saying that if you will speak very loudly
Speaker 3: about the war. He's not speaking loudly. He's not speaking loudly.
Speaker 3: Your country is in big trouble. No, no, can.
Speaker 5: You've done a lot of talking. Your country is in
Speaker 5: big trouble. I know you're not winning. You're not winning this.
Speaker 3: You have a damn good chance of winning out.
Speaker 4: Okay, because of the president, we are staying Nawa country,
Speaker 4: staying strong. From the very beginning of the war, we've
Speaker 4: been alone and we have sample.
Speaker 3: I said, thanks, you haven't been scipping it.
Speaker 5: He gave you, stupid president, three hundred and fifty billion dollars.
Speaker 3: You will. We gave your military equipment.
Speaker 5: You you met up bredict, but they have to use
Speaker 5: our military one of you.
Speaker 3: If you didn't have our.
Speaker 5: Military equipment, you didn't have of our military equipment, this
Speaker 5: war would have been over in two weeks.
Speaker 4: In three days, I heard it from Putin in three days.
Speaker 3: This is how maybe less in two weeks. Of course, yes,
Speaker 3: it's gonna be a very hard thing to do business
Speaker 3: like this. I'm gonna tell you to say thank you.
Speaker 4: I said it, except for America, except that there are.
Speaker 3: Disagreements, and let's.
Speaker 2: Go litigate those disagreements rather than trying to.
Speaker 3: Fight it out in the American media. When you're wrong,
Speaker 3: we know that you're wrong. What if Russia brings the
Speaker 3: cease fire? What if anything? What if the bomb drops
Speaker 3: on your head right now? Okay? What if they broke it.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 5: They broke it with Biden because Biden didn't respect him.
Speaker 5: They didn't respect Obama, they respect me. Let me tell you,
Speaker 5: Putin went through a hell of a lot with me.
Speaker 5: He went through a phony witch hunt where they used
Speaker 5: him in Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia.
Speaker 3: You ever hear of that deal?
Speaker 5: There was a phony that was a phony Hunter Biden,
Speaker 5: Joe Biden scam, Hillary Clinton shifting Adam Schiff, who was
Speaker 5: a Democrat scam.
Speaker 3: And he had to go through that, and he did
Speaker 3: go through it. We didn't end up in a war,
Speaker 3: and he went through it. He was accused of all
Speaker 3: that stuff. He had nothing to do with it.
Speaker 5: It came out of Hunter Biden's bathroom. It came out
Speaker 5: of Hunter Biden's bedroom.
Speaker 3: It was disgusting.
Speaker 1: Burn in hell. Donald Trump. I would say the same
Speaker 1: for Vance, but I suspect that even he has just
Speaker 1: begun to realize that he is already burning in hell.
Speaker 1: He works for Trump. He's realizing it the way Marco
Speaker 1: Rubio clearly realized it this afternoon as he sat on
Speaker 1: that couch. And perhaps if Marco were smart and he's not,
Speaker 1: Marco calculated whether what they were all doing in that
Speaker 1: room and outside of it in the world today might
Speaker 1: actually constitute a war crime charge against him. Someday in
Speaker 1: the not too distant future. And for the record, to
Speaker 1: our still cowering news media and it's idiot billionaire owners.
Speaker 1: If you think when push comes to show of your
Speaker 1: filating of Trump will somehow save you, listen to the
Speaker 1: hatred and the venom he voiced at Zelenski. That could
Speaker 1: have been you Bezos. That could have been you Zuckerberg,
Speaker 1: and soon or late that will be you Musk. But
Speaker 1: specifically to the reporters, No Politico, your headline disaster for
Speaker 1: Ukraine in the Oval office. You and your right wing
Speaker 1: European owners are wrong again. That was a disaster for
Speaker 1: Trump in the Oval office. And if that is not
Speaker 1: apparent right now, it will be damn fast. No Washington
Speaker 1: Post your headline, Trump scolds Zelensky in Oval office. F you,
Speaker 1: F you, Jeff Bezos. If everybody who hasn't quit the
Speaker 1: Washington Post yet, Woodward and f Bernstein, if you claim
Speaker 1: to love the Washington Post, or you ever loved the
Speaker 1: Washington Post, repudiate the Washington Post now. It should be
Speaker 1: out of business by Monday. It is now a more
Speaker 1: dishonorable place to work than Fox News. Because Fox News
Speaker 1: didn't just do a one eighty and adopt their positions.
Speaker 1: The Washington Post and all those who serve it another
Speaker 1: bunch of whores. No, CNN, your headline Zelensky leaves Trump
Speaker 1: meeting early after shouting match. No, among other things, that
Speaker 1: is factually inaccurate. There was no shouting match. Zelensky did
Speaker 1: not shout. There was Trump a feral creature, a wobbling
Speaker 1: pile of human feces covered in makeup, yelling at a
Speaker 1: real president. To the media, this is your warning. You
Speaker 1: may feel the winds blowing in Trump's direction at this hour,
Speaker 1: and opposite of everything your predecessors have ever done. You
Speaker 1: may think it prudent to blow with raw, arrogant, morally
Speaker 1: indefensible power, rather than to fight against the usual role
Speaker 1: of the free press in this country when it was
Speaker 1: still free to do this. You do so at the
Speaker 1: peril of your self destruction. The rubicon was crossed in
Speaker 1: the Oval Office today. Formally, officially and legally, Trump is
Speaker 1: President of the United States. Morally, he no longer possesses
Speaker 1: the title, and his behavior will no longer be tolerated.
Speaker 1: Cheerlead for him, media, at the risk of all that
Speaker 1: matters to you, which is your money. This This was
Speaker 1: your headline, CNN, Politico, Washington Post, the others. This is
Speaker 1: your story. This is what history will record, and damn
Speaker 1: fast to faster than you could possibly imagine. This was
Speaker 1: what happened. Two of the great cowards of history set up, ambushed,
Speaker 1: and attacked the twenty first century's most courageous leader, and
Speaker 1: its most courageous leader not only took their imbecilities, he
Speaker 1: answered them calmly, decisively, inarguably. And the American people have
Speaker 1: today seen, and will every day from now on sea
Speaker 1: again and again and again, their true enemy, the true
Speaker 1: threat to this nation, the true conspiracy, and its name.
Speaker 3: Is Trump.
