Speaker 1: Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. Which
Speaker 1: is worse? Which is worse? That Trump is running a
Speaker 1: protection racket presidency and bribed one Senator to vote for
Speaker 1: his big, beautiful, soak the poor budget bill while metaphorically
Speaker 1: bumping off another Senator who wouldn't vote for it. Or
Speaker 1: that Trump threatened Israel, threatened the government of Israel, threatened
Speaker 1: funds for Israel if Israel's courts won't do what he wants,
Speaker 1: and nobody here noticed that. Which is worse? Well, it's
Speaker 1: a trick question because these are actually just two versions
Speaker 1: of the same story. It is a protection racket. There
Speaker 1: are just two parts of the protection racket. There is
Speaker 1: the domestic operations of the protection racket and the international
Speaker 1: operations of the same protection racket. Trump is trying to
Speaker 1: take over control of everything in the world. Tom Tillis,
Speaker 1: the vaguely responsible Republican senator from North Carolina, refused to
Speaker 1: let Trump politically rape him Saturday night and would not
Speaker 1: vote to advance the budget bill. Trump had been threatening
Speaker 1: him for weeks months, then accelerated it finally began to
Speaker 1: ask online for volunteers to primary Tillis Tillis then announced
Speaker 1: yesterday he will retire from the Senate at the end
Speaker 1: of his term next year. So much for mister Tillis.
Speaker 1: So much for somebody, anybody in the Republican Party say
Speaker 1: saying I owe this country something. I'm staying I'm going
Speaker 1: to fight this son of a bitch. I don't care. No,
Speaker 1: he's taking the noble way out. He's going to just retire.
Speaker 1: Retire to hell, you coward. So much for the thought
Speaker 1: that when the country is up against it and the
Speaker 1: breaks are beating, the boys tell them to go out
Speaker 1: there with all they got and win, just one for
Speaker 1: the Tiller. I don't know where I'll be then, but
Speaker 1: I'll know about it and I'll be happy. Well, I
Speaker 1: know where Tom Tillis will be. He'll be back home
Speaker 1: in Cornelius, North Carolina, or somewhere, presumably drinking heavily reflecting
Speaker 1: on how he represents the utter moral and ethical decline
Speaker 1: of the already near bankrupt and nearly totally declined Republican Party.
Speaker 1: Tillis began by refusing nine years ago to vote on
Speaker 1: o Obamba's Supreme Court nominee in an election year, a
Speaker 1: made up rule that violated the Constitution, and we'll send
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell to hell, do not pass, go, do not
Speaker 1: collect two hundred dollars. Immediately, Tillis went from that to
Speaker 1: calling the Access Hollywood tape indefensible and then defending the
Speaker 1: man who's on the Access Hollywood tape, to co authoring
Speaker 1: legislation to protect the Robert Muller Special Council role, to
Speaker 1: voting with Trump anyway ninety percent of the time, to
Speaker 1: one last gasp from inside the Borg collective about what
Speaker 1: was right and what was wrong, to what he did
Speaker 1: the next morning, running the f away. So now the
Speaker 1: Republicans will nominate somebody worse than Tom Tillis, somebody who
Speaker 1: doesn't even stand up for twelve hours before running away,
Speaker 1: somebody who walks in with a big sign already hanging
Speaker 1: around his or her neck, a homemade sign reading political prostitute.
Speaker 1: The ideal choice would be Tim Scott, but of course
Speaker 1: he's already the Republican senatorial political prostitute from North Carolina.
Speaker 1: I can't elect him twice. I think, yes, that's right,
Speaker 1: We've elected Tim Scott again. He's now two senators from
Speaker 1: North Carolina. They might try somebody from the North Carolina
Speaker 1: delegation in Doctor Tungue's three D House of Representatives, but
Speaker 1: the seat will probably be up for grabs next year.
Speaker 1: The Democrats have some candidates, so punch Bowl News is
Speaker 1: reporting buzz about the nrc SA chair Richard Hudson, and
Speaker 1: the RNC chair Michael Wattley, and a local gal from
Speaker 1: Wilmington named Lara Lee Yanaska, though you may know her
Speaker 1: by her married name Lara Trump. And if you'd like
Speaker 1: to t the protection racket analogy and go instead with
Speaker 1: the crime family analogy, there you go. For all I know,
Speaker 1: Tillis is running away because he didn't get the Murkowski
Speaker 1: and so much for that ass clown two. I don't
Speaker 1: want to hear about what she might be able to
Speaker 1: do defend off Trump. I don't want to hear about
Speaker 1: her ethical wrestling matches. I don't want to hear about
Speaker 1: her Susan Collins concerns only with less kabuki theater makeup
Speaker 1: than Collins wears. She saw what Trump's big beautiful crush
Speaker 1: the middle class, increase the debt by Trillion's bill and
Speaker 1: raise your electricity bill thirty percent bill would do to her,
Speaker 1: and she knew the difference between right and wrong wrong
Speaker 1: would have been missing her opportunity at a Trump bribe
Speaker 1: from the Times quote, a new provision allowing individuals in
Speaker 1: a non contiguous state to be exempt from enforcing new
Speaker 1: work requirements imposed on snap formerly known as food stamps,
Speaker 1: appeared aimed at mollifying Miss Murkowski of Alaska. Her state
Speaker 1: would be hit with billions of dollars in nutrition assistance
Speaker 1: costs as a result of the legislation, and she had
Speaker 1: cited the provision as one of her chief concerns. She's
Speaker 1: very concerned. The bill also includes new health provisions designed
Speaker 1: to benefit Alaska, as well as new tax benefits for
Speaker 1: fishermen in the state. Waters of any guesses Alaska. Well, congratulations,
Speaker 1: Senator Murkowski. You successfully sold out three hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: million Americans to benefit the seven hundred and forty thousand Alaskans,
Speaker 1: and cleverly you did it without checking first with the
Speaker 1: Senate parliamentarian, who promptly ruled at the how to buy
Speaker 1: Alaska's vote. Proviso violates the Bird Rule, which prohibits extraneous, well,
Speaker 1: among other things, extraneous bribery from budget reconciliation measures in
Speaker 1: the Senate. Sorry Murkowski, you sold your soul for nothing.
Speaker 1: There will be no Murkowski carveout, and there will be
Speaker 1: no refund. Of course, now we have to watch to
Speaker 1: see how soon before Trump starts to threaten the Senate parliamentarian,
Speaker 1: or if the Senate Parliamentarian vanishes. I'm not even going
Speaker 1: to mention the name of the Senate Parliamentarian. I'll just
Speaker 1: mention they have been praised in the past by John
Speaker 1: Thune and John Cornyn, and they have served under the
Speaker 1: last four Ping pong administrations democratic, Republican, democratic, and of
Speaker 1: course the most recent one fascist dictatorial. Oh and about
Speaker 1: threatening Israel. Trump is both so out of control but
Speaker 1: also so gone in the head that he posted two
Speaker 1: startling things, startling even for him on his crapshack social
Speaker 1: media site. One was evidently some kind of private thank
Speaker 1: you note intended for somebody named Jamie, which he somehow
Speaker 1: for some reason posted instead on quote truth it's a
Speaker 1: brand name, unquote social Now, Jamie could have been JD. Vance.
Speaker 1: I mean, we don't really know how many different names
Speaker 1: he's had in his past. We think it's just these three,
Speaker 1: but he could be Jamie, could have been Jamie Fox,
Speaker 1: could have been Jamie Fox. Because maybe Trump thinks Jamie
Speaker 1: Fox and Fox News are the same thing. Who knows
Speaker 1: the other thing that he posted was an attempt to
Speaker 1: take his protection racket presidency and extend it to bullying
Speaker 1: and owning the courts in other countries. Who is the
Speaker 1: John Roberts of Israel? Who is the Elito? Who is
Speaker 1: the Clarence Thomas quote? It is terrible what they are
Speaker 1: doing in Israel to bb nothing Yahoo, He is a
Speaker 1: war hero and a prime minister who did a fabulous
Speaker 1: job working with the United States Brakes greats and says
Speaker 1: got her into dangerous nuclear threat in a ret By
Speaker 1: the way, they didn't get rid of the dangerous nuclear
Speaker 1: threat in Iran. They're going to be enriching the uranium
Speaker 1: within a month. Importantly, he is right now in the
Speaker 1: process of negotiating a deal with a MAS which has
Speaker 1: been negotiating since October of twenty twenty three, which will
Speaker 1: include getting the hostages back. Yeah. How is it possible
Speaker 1: that the Prime Minister of Israel can be forced to
Speaker 1: sit in a courtroom all day long over nothing? Cigars, bugs,
Speaker 1: bunny doll, et cetera. It is a political witch hunt
Speaker 1: very similar to the witch hunt that I was forced
Speaker 1: to endure this travesty blah blah blah blah blah, interfere
Speaker 1: with bother of blah blah, bah bah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: The United States of America spends billions of dollars a year,
Speaker 1: far more than on any other nation, protecting and supporting Israel.
Speaker 1: We're not going to stand for this. We just had
Speaker 1: a great victory with Prime Minister net and Yahoo at
Speaker 1: the Helm, and this greatly tarnishes our victory. Let bb go.
Speaker 1: He's got a big job to do. I've read a
Speaker 1: lot of political analysis of this, domestic and some international,
Speaker 1: and not once do I see anybody telling it to
Speaker 1: co sell you briefly, like it really ease. That's a threat.
Speaker 1: That's a threat by the President of the United States
Speaker 1: against the State of Israel. That is a threat against
Speaker 1: Israel to cut American funding, to cut the billions of
Speaker 1: years llians of dollar a year. That's a threat if
Speaker 1: the courts don't do what the president wants. Not the
Speaker 1: president of Israel, the president of the United States, which
Speaker 1: is a different country now ordinarily throughout our history, and
Speaker 1: Israel's an American president publicly threatening Israel. That would be
Speaker 1: the moment, we said, and that's when his political career ended.
Speaker 1: But of course Trump's support of Israel isn't about Israel
Speaker 1: or Jewish people. He doesn't like either of them. It's
Speaker 1: about the evangelicals here and their apocalyptic vision of the
Speaker 1: end of the world. How Netnyahu fits into the rapture.
Speaker 1: If an Iranian mulla suddenly swapped hairstyles and headgear and
Speaker 1: pronounced that Mike Kakabee is absolutely right and God had
Speaker 1: just told him so, Trump would support the mulla to
Speaker 1: replace Netnyahu. Immediately he threatened Israel and just to make
Speaker 1: this a little worse, it seems like it may have worked.
Speaker 1: Remembering the law of A and then B that B
Speaker 1: is not always caused by A from the Reuters reporter
Speaker 1: in Jerusalem quote. The Jerusalem District Court canceled this week's
Speaker 1: hearings in Prime Minister Netanya Who's long running coruption trial,
Speaker 1: accepting a request the Israeli leader made, citing classified diplomatic
Speaker 1: and security grounds. It was unclear whether a social media
Speaker 1: post by US President Trump influenced the court's decision. Trump
Speaker 1: suggested blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, Where's Chuck
Speaker 1: Schumer on this? Where's Chuck Schumer, whom Trump keeps calling
Speaker 1: a quote Palestinian. Where's Chuck Schumer standing up for once
Speaker 1: in his life and saying, I am a Palestinian. You
Speaker 1: fat You just threatened to cut funds from Israel, just
Speaker 1: threatened to cut off American funds from Israel. You anti
Speaker 1: Semite bastard. Where is Kristin Gilibrand? Where's Kristin Gilibrand calling
Speaker 1: Trump an anti Semite or at least anti Israel. Where
Speaker 1: is she? Kristin Gilibrand, who, by the way, has now
Speaker 1: done exactly two things since assuming her Senate office in
Speaker 1: two thousand and nine and becoming the most inert Democratic
Speaker 1: senator in history. She went nuts on radio on NPR
Speaker 1: Live for Christ's sakes, repeating every maga lie about the
Speaker 1: Democratic candidate for mayor of New York, which is in
Speaker 1: the state of New York, which apparently Senator Jilibrand does
Speaker 1: not know, every maga lie about Zoran mom Donny, who
Speaker 1: is not an Tai Semitic and has not praised the Intifada,
Speaker 1: and he is bronx. He's a lot of other things too,
Speaker 1: but he's bronx. In fact, he's Bronx science, which makes
Speaker 1: him more American than I am, because I didn't actually
Speaker 1: go to school in the Bronx. I'm just from the Bronx.
Speaker 1: Kristen Gillibrand now adds to being the first to move
Speaker 1: to force out al Franken from the Senate for something
Speaker 1: that would now be deemed insufficient to get him into
Speaker 1: the Trump administration. Al Franken, who was a thousand times
Speaker 1: the Senator Gillibrand would be if she served one thousand years.
Speaker 1: She has now added to that an attack on the
Speaker 1: Democratic nominee in the biggest city that she represents in
Speaker 1: the Senate allegedly represents because you will never convince me
Speaker 1: she's not in the the Senate from New York as
Speaker 1: some kind of bizarre witness relocation program thingy.
Speaker 2: He does not support violent intifida? Is that fair?
Speaker 3: So, Brian, I didn't hear your exchange with him, but
Speaker 3: if I was speaking to him directly, I would simply say,
Speaker 3: that is not how the words are received, and it
Speaker 3: doesn't matter what meaning you have in your brain, it
Speaker 3: is not how the word is received. And when you
Speaker 3: use a word like is sofada to many Jewish Americans
Speaker 3: and Jewish New Yorkers. That means you are permissive for
Speaker 3: violence against Jews. It is a serious word. It is
Speaker 3: a word that has deep meaning. It has been used
Speaker 3: for wars across time, and violence and destruction and slaughter
Speaker 3: and murder against the Jews. It is a harmful, hurtful,
Speaker 3: inappropriate word for anyone who wants to represent a city
Speaker 3: as diverse as New York City with eight million people.
Speaker 3: And I would be very specific in these words, and
Speaker 3: I would say you may not use them again if
Speaker 3: you expect to represent everyone ever again, because they are
Speaker 3: received as hateful and divisive and harmful. And that's it.
Speaker 3: So I appreciate that he told you he didn't mean that,
Speaker 3: and that's great.
Speaker 2: Rat also clarifyre he was clarifying that he never said
Speaker 2: globalized the antifada. He was asked in an interview if
Speaker 2: he would denounce the phrase globalize the antifada, and then
Speaker 2: that led to this kind of conversation. You know that
Speaker 2: you were just referring to, but that he was never
Speaker 2: out there saying globalized the antifada. He was asked about
Speaker 2: other people who used it. So just just to be
Speaker 2: precise about what happened there.
Speaker 3: Yes, well, as a leader of the city of diversites,
Speaker 3: New York City with eight million people, as the largest
Speaker 3: Jewish population in the country, we should denounce it. And
Speaker 3: that's it, period. And you can't celebrate it, you can't
Speaker 3: value it, you can't lift it up. And that is
Speaker 3: what that is the challenge.
Speaker 1: She should be institutionalized. No one has ever heard her
Speaker 1: speak that fast, frenzied, nor that insane, nor addressing anything.
Speaker 1: She's completely wrong, obviously, but she's so animated about it.
Speaker 1: This is the first time Jillibrand has managed to confirm
Speaker 1: she's not some sort of plastic blow up doll, but
Speaker 1: an actual human being. And how does she do it?
Speaker 1: She does it but losing her mind and attacking very
Speaker 1: possibly the most responsible politician who happens to be a
Speaker 1: Muslim in this country, a guy who is far more
Speaker 1: of a New Yorker than she is. Resign, Get out,
Speaker 1: you're worthless, Maga parroting Albany clown. Resign. She now says
Speaker 1: she misspoke. I'll tell you when she misspoke. She misspoke
Speaker 1: when she took the oath of office. I do solemnly
Speaker 1: swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of
Speaker 1: the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. That's
Speaker 1: when she misspoke. You just carried Trump's water for him,
Speaker 1: you moronic cipher. You just carried Cuomo's water for him,
Speaker 1: and Trump's and Curtis Sliwa, you know, the Guardian Angels
Speaker 1: idiot in the stupid beret. You carried the water of
Speaker 1: all those people against the Democratic nominee in the biggest
Speaker 1: city you represent. By the way, let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: Apparently you don't know, Senator Jillibrand. You are in the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party, and you know what's going on behind the
Speaker 1: scenes here right that she played right into. I would
Speaker 1: assume she was part of this, except she's too stupid
Speaker 1: to be a part of anything planned. A New York
Speaker 1: Post financial reporter writes, quote, prominent donors are gunning to
Speaker 1: get Republican mayoral nominee Curtis Sliwa a job in the
Speaker 1: Trump administration in hopes of pushing him out of New
Speaker 1: York City's mayoral race. Source has told me the aim
Speaker 1: is to open up the GOP nomination and the nearly
Speaker 1: thirty percent of the vote someone running in that lane
Speaker 1: is expected to get four Current Mayor Eric Adams, so
Speaker 1: Adams could run as the Republican nominee against I'm Danny
Speaker 1: Adams could run pretending to be the anti anti Semitism
Speaker 1: candidate and get introduced by Sneako, and Curtis Sliwa could
Speaker 1: become Trump's new Secretary of Berets. And I was reminded
Speaker 1: that last November, the guy who isn't zoraon Mamdani, whom
Speaker 1: Jillibrand just helped. Sliwa said this on Staten Island to
Speaker 1: an Israeli reporter regarding anti Semitism. This is right before
Speaker 1: the last election.
Speaker 4: Quote.
Speaker 1: I tell the Jews all the time, I'm a gentile.
Speaker 1: It's in our DNA. You need to wake up and
Speaker 1: understand that we always blame the Jews no matter what happens.
Speaker 1: Curtis Sliwa, whom Jillibrand helped by the way President protection Racket,
Speaker 1: gave his game away about New York too yesterday with
Speaker 1: Maua Badawomo quote, whoever's mayor of New York is going
Speaker 1: to have to behave themselves or the federal government is
Speaker 1: coming down very tough on them financially. We already know
Speaker 1: this drill. Trump wants Cuomo as mayor no matter what
Speaker 1: he says about Cuomo. But Adams will do because they
Speaker 1: dropped the corruption charges against Adams and made sure they
Speaker 1: could reinstate them at any point. And they already announced
Speaker 1: the investigation of Cuomo and they could charge him at
Speaker 1: any point. So with Mayor Cuomo or Mayor Adams, Trump
Speaker 1: can blackmail them into anything, especially into letting Trump's ISIS
Speaker 1: raids continue here. And now we have the money injected
Speaker 1: into the equation by Trump, I will go back to
Speaker 1: the one solution to all this swallowed up by Trump's
Speaker 1: Los Angeles ISIS raids. The day after the solution was
Speaker 1: spoken by Gavin Newsom June sixth. Haven't heard it since
Speaker 1: for obvious reasons. But this is it. What are we
Speaker 1: going to do this? We're going to do this. What
Speaker 1: could we possibly do to stop Trump?
Speaker 5: This?
Speaker 1: This is what we can do stop Trump. Are there
Speaker 1: any solutions? It seems like every guardrail this is the guardrail.
Speaker 1: What he wrote on June sixth was the governor, Californians
Speaker 1: pay the bills for the federal government. We pay over
Speaker 1: eighty billion dollars more in taxes than we get back.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's time to cut that off. Donald Trump, it's
Speaker 1: going to reach that point. It is a protection racket.
Speaker 1: And the only thing that stops a protection racket in
Speaker 1: the absence of law enforcement, and law enforcement is part
Speaker 1: of the protection racket. The only thing is to have
Speaker 1: a greater financial gun pointed at the people running the
Speaker 1: protection racket than they have pointed at you. Let's get
Speaker 1: to it right now. Let's get it started right now.
Speaker 1: Never mind the midterms, never mind twenty twenty eight. We'll
Speaker 1: deal with them when they happen. We can deal with
Speaker 1: this now. The Blue states and their attorneys general and
Speaker 1: their tax experts and their governors should convene right now
Speaker 1: with Gavin Newsom and see what can be done to
Speaker 1: stop forwarding federal tax money to the federal government from
Speaker 1: the Blue States right now, to starve Trump into submission
Speaker 1: right now. Starve him because A it will work, and
Speaker 1: because B in our sad times, this is actually the
Speaker 1: closest thing we will see for decades to ethical. We
Speaker 1: used to split our big decisions in life fifty to fifty,
Speaker 1: or at least it seemed that way as late as
Speaker 1: when I was in college and in my twenties and
Speaker 1: in my thirties. People quit jobs on principle, or at
Speaker 1: least on the fear of getting caught. People did things
Speaker 1: and didn't say but I got paid a million dollars
Speaker 1: to do this, and everybody didn't just go, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: it's all right. Then I'm not just judging here. I
Speaker 1: took a job at Fox once, lots of reasons, lots
Speaker 1: of ancillary fact. There's the tipping point was they were
Speaker 1: going to pay me five times when I was making
Speaker 1: at NBC. I've done it. But we used to do
Speaker 1: this on a fifty to fifty basis. Half your decisions
Speaker 1: in life for you, half your decisions in life for
Speaker 1: you and everybody basically ethics or cash. Now what is
Speaker 1: it ninety nine to one? When was the last time
Speaker 1: somebody did anything, anything important, anything permanent, irretrievable, because to
Speaker 1: do otherwise was just wrong. I'll wait. Murkowski not only
Speaker 1: did she not do that, she didn't even do anything smart.
Speaker 1: She sold out and it turned out she doesn't get
Speaker 1: what she sold out for till us. I have taken
Speaker 1: my stand, and now I'm going to run away and
Speaker 1: the rest of you can deal with this, cause I'll
Speaker 1: be in North Carolina. And what's not like it's going
Speaker 1: to affect me. It's not like the stochastic terrorism is
Speaker 1: ever going to affect me just because we had a
Speaker 1: political assassination in this country earlier this month, Trump, anybody
Speaker 1: named Trump, to do something right rather than for profit.
Speaker 1: Starve the federal government, Starve Maga, Starve Trump, and they'll understand.
Speaker 1: They will fold immediately because they will do what's right
Speaker 1: to protect their money. In times like this, I always
Speaker 1: think of one scene from what I think is probably
Speaker 1: the most underrated motion picture of all time. It was
Speaker 1: considered a bomb when it came out. I think it
Speaker 1: should be considered a classic. It's improved over the half
Speaker 1: a century since its release to no, that's actually very good.
Speaker 1: But when it came out, people were so disappointed because
Speaker 1: the book was so big and rich and nuanced, then
Speaker 1: layered and intricate, you couldn't have made a perfect movie
Speaker 1: out of it. This is actually almost a perfect movie.
Speaker 1: It's called Catch twenty two. This is after Lieutenant Nately,
Speaker 1: the character who's played by of all people, Art Garfunkle,
Speaker 1: gets blown up when the American generals and Lieutenant Milo
Speaker 1: Minderbinder make a deal with the Germans. The Germans will
Speaker 1: pay full value for some worthless cotton from minder Binders
Speaker 1: so called syndicate he's running the black market during the
Speaker 1: Second World War, if the Americans will bomb their own
Speaker 1: air base on behalf of the Germans. Now, if this
Speaker 1: sounds familiar to you, like it's something that's been in
Speaker 1: the news recently, well that's because Trump now claims the
Speaker 1: Iranians responded to the bombing of their nuclear sites by
Speaker 1: warning us in advance they were going to go and
Speaker 1: bomb the US base at Katar, And Trump says, they said,
Speaker 1: what time, one o'clock? And Trump says, I said, one
Speaker 1: o'clock is fine, and we let them bomb us. After
Speaker 1: the bombing run in the movie Catch twenty two, Martin
Speaker 1: Balsom says, as the bombs are following American bombs on
Speaker 1: an American base to pay off a deal with the Germans,
Speaker 1: Martin Balsom says, it's all part of the contract. Isn't
Speaker 1: that what we're fighting for? Anyway? The dialogue that I'm
Speaker 1: referring to sums up America right now today and sums
Speaker 1: up what Michael Nichols, the director, saw coming when he
Speaker 1: made the movie in nineteen sixty nine. In nineteen seventy.
Speaker 1: What Joseph Heller must have seen when he wrote the
Speaker 1: novel in nineteen fifty three and when he lived this
Speaker 1: experience in the Second World War. Nately is dead, literally
Speaker 1: blown to pieces. Yosarian is his friend, the protagonist, played
Speaker 1: to perfection in the movie by Alan Arkin. Lieutenant Minderbinder.
Speaker 1: Nately died a wealthy man, Yusrian. He had over sixty
Speaker 1: shares in the syndicate, Yosrian. What difference does that make.
Speaker 1: He's dead, minder Binder. Then his family will get it. Y'sarian.
Speaker 1: He didn't have time to have a family, minder Binder.
Speaker 1: Then his parents will get it. Y'sarian. They don't need it,
Speaker 1: they're rich. Minder Binder. Then they'll understand. That's today's Maga,
Speaker 1: that's today's Republicans. That's Tom Tillis, that's Murkowski, that's John Roberts,
Speaker 1: that's all of them. They don't need it. They'll rich.
Speaker 1: Then they'll understand that's today's Trump, that's today's America. By
Speaker 1: the way, for real, belly laugh. In the movie, that character,
Speaker 1: the ultimate cynic, the ultimate grifter, Milo Minderbinder is played
Speaker 1: also perfectly by John Voight. Headlines Headlines so many headlines.
Speaker 1: Number one Washington Posts the United States obtained intercepted communications
Speaker 1: between senior Iranian officials assessing this month's military strikes on
Speaker 1: Iran's nuclear program and remarking that the attack was less
Speaker 1: devastating than they had expected. Per four sources, the communication
Speaker 1: intended to be private. Did you copy? Hag seth On?
Speaker 1: This included Iranian government officials speculating as to why the
Speaker 1: strikes directed by Trump were not as destructive and extensive
Speaker 1: as they anticipated per sources. I'm waiting to hear that Trump,
Speaker 1: who has promised to sue all the news organizations who
Speaker 1: say that it was not obliteration. I'm waiting for him,
Speaker 1: after bombing Iran, to sue Iran for not saying they
Speaker 1: got really, really obliterated. Senator Roger Marshall, you remember him,
Speaker 1: the one who thinks our last great terrorist attack in
Speaker 1: this country is pronounced nine to one one. Senator Roger
Speaker 1: Marshall disagrees. He claims that Trump strikes led to total
Speaker 1: devastation of the Iran in nuclear facilities, citing my assessment.
Speaker 1: Everything I can see, I'll just add everything I can see.
Speaker 1: Senator Marshall is a gynecologist. Headline number two. Trump made
Speaker 1: up a statistic. If his budget bill were to fail.
Speaker 1: He said there would be a sixty eight percent tax increase.
Speaker 1: This is what he used against Tillis. Tillis is supporting
Speaker 1: a sixty eight percent tax increase. Made up where he
Speaker 1: got it where he saw it? I don't know. I'm
Speaker 1: assuming Jamie told him about it. There is the possibility
Speaker 1: that the President of the United States of America currently
Speaker 1: actively has an invisible friend named Jamie, which would increase
Speaker 1: his total no number of friends to one number three. Oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, we no longer have a constitution.
Speaker 4: Oops.
Speaker 1: The Supreme Court did not just rule that a federal
Speaker 1: district judge cannot stop a presidential proclamation even if it
Speaker 1: is illegal, even if it would, say, kill people. The
Speaker 1: Supreme Court said, if it's illegal, even if it could
Speaker 1: kill people, a federal judge cannot really delay it, let
Speaker 1: alone overrule it. Let's just cut right to the extreme here.
Speaker 1: Trump has already issued a presidential proclamation demanding Miles Taylor
Speaker 1: be investigated for treason and anybody associated with Miles Taylor.
Speaker 1: What if Trump now ratchets it up. I mean, he's
Speaker 1: losing his mind actively every day. There's something else that
Speaker 1: makes no sense, Jamie. What if he suddenly issues a
Speaker 1: presidential proclamation and who the hell's going to stop him?
Speaker 1: Now a judge in Israel?
Speaker 5: If he so.
Speaker 1: Suddenly declares that twenty people, including Miles Taylor, just for
Speaker 1: the sake of argument, are guilty of treason, you know,
Speaker 1: how far do you want to take this. Let's cut
Speaker 1: out the courts thing. I'm Trump. I'm now going to
Speaker 1: be the courts. I'm going to make the decisions and
Speaker 1: the outcomes and the sentences. I am both judge and judy.
Speaker 1: What if he does that, who's going to stop him?
Speaker 1: So what if it's totally illegal and Miles Taylor sues
Speaker 1: or one of the other twenty people on the list
Speaker 1: of these people are treason is decapitate them? They sue,
Speaker 1: and a federal judge issues a temporary restraining order while
Speaker 1: it goes up to the Supreme Court, and good luck
Speaker 1: up there, Miles. Oops, you other nineteen are not part
Speaker 1: of this lawsuit. You're out of luck. You remain on
Speaker 1: the kill list. That's the problem. You have to be
Speaker 1: part for a federal judge anywhere to overrule a crazy
Speaker 1: ass president doing illegal things. For a federal judge to
Speaker 1: step in and just stop it. Let alone overruling it.
Speaker 1: Just delay it for thirty days or thirty minutes to
Speaker 1: be delayed. You can only be protected by that delay
Speaker 1: if you're part of some sort of class action suit.
Speaker 1: If Miles Taylor and the other nineteen don't sue, the
Speaker 1: judge can save the one person who sued, or if
Speaker 1: they coordinate everybody in the class action suit. If they don't, sorry,
Speaker 1: the rest of you are dead. Obviously, this is the
Speaker 1: worst case scenario. On the other hand, Trump is the
Speaker 1: worst case scenario. The Supreme Court of the United States
Speaker 1: the worst case scenario, because the actual case will simply
Speaker 1: the one we're talking about here that precipitated all this
Speaker 1: will simply strip citizenship from people born in this country.
Speaker 1: This will happen next October. If you doubt it will
Speaker 1: happen next October, I'd like to congratulate you on waking
Speaker 1: from that coma you fell into late in twenty fourteen.
Speaker 1: It's not that we're going fascist or dictatorial. We've gone fascist.
Speaker 1: We've gone dictatorial. This asshole president is telling the courts
Speaker 1: in Israel what to do, and they're doing it. If
Speaker 1: some of the people who have citizenship stripped, and don't
Speaker 1: say that too many times too fast. If some of
Speaker 1: them sue, maybe a district court can put a hold
Speaker 1: on it. But if they're not in the suit, they're
Speaker 1: gone abreco garcia. If they are in the suit, and
Speaker 1: of course it eventually goes to the Supreme Court, then
Speaker 1: I say, oh, guess what Scotus has been bought corrupt
Speaker 1: another concierge Trump Court. He's already boasting about that.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 1: Of course, if Milania Trump did skirt the law getting
Speaker 1: her citizenship, I don't know what does that mean about
Speaker 1: Baron Trump? Does he have to spend his whole life
Speaker 1: wondering if somebody is gonna try this routine on him?
Speaker 1: Maybe he should start looking for that class action suit
Speaker 1: right now? You never know. It's spike strips thrown a
Speaker 1: few miles ahead on the road of justice, which leads
Speaker 1: us to headline number four, the human strike strike strip
Speaker 1: or spike strip in English. Stephen Miller. Stephen Miller owns
Speaker 1: between one hundred and one hundred thousand and one dollars

Speaker 1: like but they are afraid of these Guys iranian nationals
Speaker 1: with jihadist. Sympathies you let them in with a laxity
Speaker 1: THAT aoc and other radicals insisted. On and the far
Speaker 1: left is actively embracing people who are the enemy pro,
Speaker 1: hamas people who chant, globalize The, intifada The palestinian uprising

Speaker 1: advisor at meetings with other advisors during a crisis a political.
Speaker 1: Scandal while he was a newscaster allegedly covering the same
Speaker 1: scandal on the air AT, cnn he helped to whitewash
Speaker 1: his BROTHER'S covid scandals and women's scandals on the, air
Speaker 1: and when called on this conflict of, interest his solution
Speaker 1: to covering his brother's scandal was to not cover it,
Speaker 1: all to just drop the, subject rather than doing what
Speaker 1: you would do in this, situation which is to, say good,
Speaker 1: Evening I'm Chris, cuomo and this is The Chris Cuomo
Speaker 1: i'm smarter than you are, show and our first story
Speaker 1: is about my, brother the governor Of New. York so
Speaker 1: we'll cover that, now AND i will step aside and
Speaker 1: turn it over for five minutes to anybody else who works.
Speaker 1: Here that's how you cover. It that's how you avoid
Speaker 1: a conflict of. Interest you step, aside your newscast covers.
Speaker 1: It you have nothing to do with. It you can't rebutt,
Speaker 1: it you can't deal with. It that's how you cover
Speaker 1: it if you're a. Journalist happily For Chris, cuomo he's
Speaker 1: not a. Journalist he never was a. Journalist he's A
Speaker 1: tv guy and also not very good at. It he
Speaker 1: went on the air and simply solved this conflict of
Speaker 1: interest that he might say something favorable to his corrupt
Speaker 1: brother who would have to resign as governor of a.
Speaker 1: State he simply settled this by not covering the story at,
Speaker 1: all in other, words covering it. Up aocized the problem
Speaker 1: with The Democratic, party not The cuomos Or kristin Gilibrand,
Speaker 1: london but our, winner the Worst, Senator Bernie, moreno the
Speaker 1: idiot senator From ohio who replaced the previous idiot senator
Speaker 1: From OHIO Jv vance when he became the Idiot Vice
