Speaker 1: Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. We
Speaker 1: will see Jack Smith's evidence on Trump's attempt to foment
Speaker 1: the violent overthrow of the government of the United States
Speaker 1: before the election. Thanks to Judge Tanya Chutkins rulings, we
Speaker 1: are likely to get a mini trial at which Mike
Speaker 1: Pence might be compelled to testify, or his previous sworn
Speaker 1: statements could be made public. That's right, Mike Pence might
Speaker 1: metaphorically get to hang Donald Trump out to dry. At
Speaker 1: least we will read about it, or at least much
Speaker 1: of it, or at least the gist of it. The
Speaker 1: Supreme Court's corrupt ruling on the bogus concept of presidential
Speaker 1: immune notwithstanding, Judge Chutkin and she should pose for the
Speaker 1: statue now. To save time, has scheduled a series of
Speaker 1: deadlines for the Justice Department and for Trump's legal whores
Speaker 1: to file briefs and motions and responses. And the schedule
Speaker 1: starts three weeks from yesterday and it ends two days
Speaker 1: after the election. And there is absolutely no guarantee that
Speaker 1: the paperwork about immunity will include the evidence against Trump.
Speaker 1: But consider for a moment what the documents would have
Speaker 1: to look like if the filings about what is eliminated
Speaker 1: by presidential immunity and what isn't doesn't contain any examples
Speaker 1: of what is eliminated by presidential immunity and what isn't,
Speaker 1: each of those documents would then be one word long,
Speaker 1: should or shouldn't Pence and whether he can testify or
Speaker 1: his previous testimony is erased by the immunity fix. It
Speaker 1: was clear at the hearing yesterday this is central to
Speaker 1: the idea of the mini trial that Chutkin is now
Speaker 1: going to undertake. The evidence against Trump will be in
Speaker 1: the public hands for whatever that is or isn't worth
Speaker 1: to some degree. Beginning on the twenty sixth of this month,
Speaker 1: with the first Smith opening brief on the issue of immunity,
Speaker 1: Trump must supplement his motion to dismiss on statutory grounds
Speaker 1: a week later, on Thursday, October third. Two weeks after that,
Speaker 1: Trump replies to the initial Smith filing and Smith replies
Speaker 1: to the Trump motion to dismiss. Smith replies to that
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, October twenty ninth. Smith has another reply to
Speaker 1: on Halloween. So if you want an October surprise, pick one.
Speaker 1: It could come early in three weeks or on the
Speaker 1: third of October, two chances on the seventeenth, another on
Speaker 1: the twenty ninth, Happy Halloween. Since there is every chance
Speaker 1: we will not know the electoral winner on November fifth,
Speaker 1: or maybe not even November sixth, the last of the hearings.
Speaker 1: Trump's answer to the Smith Halloween reply comes with the
Speaker 1: ominous time stamp of Thursday, November seventh. I will not
Speaker 1: wade too deeply into the legal cesspool here. I am
Speaker 1: not qualified to, and unlike almost everybody else talking about it,
Speaker 1: I admit that. But Trump lawyer John Laura's fixation on
Speaker 1: having chut can rule now and forever on what did
Speaker 1: Mike Pence say and when did he say? It decodes
Speaker 1: this for those of us who are legal illiterates. Laura
Speaker 1: yesterday insisted the ruling needs to be made immediately because
Speaker 1: this is a quote sensitive time for Trump. That is,
Speaker 1: it's the election quote. If your honor decides, and your
Speaker 1: honor may very well decide that the information relating to
Speaker 1: Vice President pens is not only presumptively immune, but immune,
Speaker 1: then that indictment has to be dismissed. Huge mistake, cheap mouthpiece.
Speaker 1: Chutkin did not like that term sensitive time at all,
Speaker 1: she said quote I said before, and I say again
Speaker 1: that the electoral process, timing of the election, and what
Speaker 1: needs to happen before shouldn't happen for election is not
Speaker 1: relevant here. This court is not concerned with the electoral schedule.
Speaker 1: I hope you notice the wonderful irony here. We are
Speaker 1: where we are because Trump's lawyers and his concierge Supreme
Speaker 1: Court have been so successful at delaying. Now no more delay.
Speaker 1: They want an urgent ruling, and Chutkin will not give
Speaker 1: it to them. As Shakespeare wrote, hoist with his own petard.
Speaker 1: And if anybody who has ever lived deserves petard to
Speaker 1: be used in its colloquial meaning, it's Trump, it's colloquial,
Speaker 1: of course, being flatulence. Of course, depending on the answer
Speaker 1: to my next question, all this Chutkins stuff could be academic.
Speaker 1: I have asked it before, and based upon his performance
Speaker 1: at the New York Economic Club of New York, I
Speaker 1: will ask it again. Is Trump dying or something? Among
Speaker 1: other highlights in his speech, is that the right word
Speaker 1: for it. Trump began to call immigrants quote illegal aerials.
Speaker 1: He rarely got above a mumble. He was helpful enough
Speaker 1: to drag his Arlington National Cemetery scandal back into the spotlight,
Speaker 1: and in so doing, he said that the gold Star
Speaker 1: families there were quote celebrating, and he said that the
Speaker 1: event happened four days ago, when it happened ten days ago.
Speaker 1: But no, he's not dying or something. What makes you
Speaker 1: think that.
Speaker 2: With a legal are aliens pouring in from countries all
Speaker 2: over the world. They came in from countries that nobody
Speaker 2: ever heard the name of that country. Those countries from
Speaker 2: their prisons and jails. There is a difference and the
Speaker 2: Arab nations. And we're very honored to have some of
Speaker 2: my friends here with us today from that part of
Speaker 2: the world. But they're working very hard despite being here
Speaker 2: that I not be your president. They don't like me. Meanwhile,
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris can't bring down the price of anything because
Speaker 2: their energy policies are driving up. The cost of everything
Speaker 2: is up, way up. By the way, we lost thirteen
Speaker 2: incredible soldiers. I got to know the families very well,
Speaker 2: spent a lot of time with them. Four days ago
Speaker 2: in Arlington Cemetery. Three years ago they were celebrating three years.
Speaker 1: Speaking of that, in case you didn't hear the altercation
Speaker 1: wherein Trump's staffers interrupted the celebration by man handling a
Speaker 1: woman's staffer at Arlington National Cemetery physical violence atop our
Speaker 1: most hallowed ground. The thing Trump just insisted never happened
Speaker 1: and was made up personally by Kamala Harris and the
Speaker 1: military is lying. NPR, which first reported the fight, has
Speaker 1: now identified the two staffers who verbally abused the woman
Speaker 1: at Arlington and the one who shoved her, and one
Speaker 1: of the main lines back to January sixth quote. The
Speaker 1: two staffers, according to a source with knowledge of the incident,
Speaker 1: are Debt campaign manager Justin caparral and Michelle Picard, a
Speaker 1: member of Trump's advance team. Caparrale is a one time
Speaker 1: aid to former First Lady Milania Trump, who left the
Speaker 1: White House to work for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis before
Speaker 1: returning to the Trump campaign. He was also listed as
Speaker 1: the on site contact and project manager for the Women
Speaker 1: for America first rally on January sixth, where Trump urged
Speaker 1: the crowd to stop the steal before some of them
Speaker 1: stormed the capitol. Arlington National Cemetery rules, NPR continues that
Speaker 1: had been made clear to the Trump campaign in advance
Speaker 1: say that only an official Arlington photographer can take pictures
Speaker 1: or film in section sixty. When an ANC employee tried
Speaker 1: to enforce the rules, she was verbally abused by the
Speaker 1: two Trump campaign operatives. According to a source with knowledge
Speaker 1: of the incident, Picard then pushed her out of the way.
Speaker 1: According to Pentagon officials, the card did it insert the
Speaker 1: gif of Sir Patrick Stewart face palming on Star Trek.
Speaker 1: The NPR story also includes a non denial denial now
Speaker 1: from Trump's spokesliar Stephen Chung, and no, they have not
Speaker 1: released the video they say proves it didn't happen. And
Speaker 1: know I'm still waiting for somebody to file to get
Speaker 1: the security video from Arlington National Cemetery so we can
Speaker 1: see what happened and what happened and who should go
Speaker 1: to prison for it. But now back to Trump's latest
Speaker 1: mental day off. What you heard there about the celebration
Speaker 1: at Arlington came on the heels of a televised moment
Speaker 1: Wednesday night in which you could see panic actually flare
Speaker 1: in his eyes as he spoke and dance across his
Speaker 1: vision before his animal instincts kicked in and he managed
Speaker 1: to suppress that I was genuine surprised Fox did not
Speaker 1: edit this clip out or at least paper it over
Speaker 1: with a wide shot or a cartoon without mentioning his name.
Speaker 1: Trump clearly began to say that the Democratic nominee right
Speaker 1: now is Joe Biden.
Speaker 3: I can't imagine New Hampshire voting for him. Anybody in
Speaker 3: New Hampshire because they're watching right now. But anybody in
Speaker 3: New Hampshire that votes for Biden and Kamela.
Speaker 1: How, if you're Fox, do you let that clip run?
Speaker 1: He clearly thinks he clearly defaults to Biden. Any who Fox? Thanks.
Speaker 1: Trump did manage to get his wits about him, well,
Speaker 1: wit his one wit in time to do a zoom
Speaker 1: speech yesterday to a group calling itself the Republican Jewish Coalition,
Speaker 1: in which he once again repeated the anti Semitic trope
Speaker 1: that Jews are all loyal to Israel, not to the
Speaker 1: United States or wherever they happen to live. He again
Speaker 1: said of Democrats, quote, if you had them to support
Speaker 1: and you were Jewish, you have to have your head examined.
Speaker 1: And just for laughs, he notched it up a little
Speaker 1: bit by saying that if Kamala Harris becomes president Israel
Speaker 1: quote will no longer exist. Well, it will no longer
Speaker 1: exist for Trump because his only interest in Israel is
Speaker 1: to get votes From the topic of Israel. Back to
Speaker 1: the New York Economic speech yesterday, Trump also indicated something
Speaker 1: a little bit more subtle that suggests he's not there anymore,
Speaker 1: that he no longer can tell the difference between ideas
Speaker 1: that will gain him votes and those that will clearly
Speaker 1: lose him votes. He wants, he says, a sovereign wealth fund,
Speaker 1: you know, like the dictator of Saudi Arabia has or
Speaker 1: the dictator of Russia has, with which to make investments,
Speaker 1: presidential investments, steel companies from opponents, give money to supporters,
Speaker 1: or just keep the money for himself. This is a
Speaker 1: softball for Vice President Harris in the debate next Tuesday.
Speaker 1: That is so slow that she can start her swing
Speaker 1: now if she wants to. And if that were not enough,
Speaker 1: there was also this. Trump has now promised a government
Speaker 1: efficiency panel to save money run by quick Think, the
Speaker 1: least qualified person for this in the world. A government
Speaker 1: efficiency panel to save money run by Elon Musk. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you want money efficiency, you do turn to Elon Musk.
Speaker 1: Think of what he did in paying forty four billion
Speaker 1: dollars for Twitter, and now it's worth twelve billion. How
Speaker 1: much more efficiently can you count and manage just twelve
Speaker 1: billion rather than that big, big, unmanageable pile of forty
Speaker 1: four billion. Musk, by the way, now mainstreams into the
Speaker 1: continuing Russian stooge gait. The Justice Department's indictment of two
Speaker 1: Putin propagandists accused of buying MAGA influencers with ten million
Speaker 1: dollars to spread Kremlin talking points, to sew division in
Speaker 1: this country, and to try to get conservatives to kill liberals.
Speaker 1: You will recall that although the DOJ did not name
Speaker 1: the Tennessee company that was the front for spending the
Speaker 1: dough here, about two hundred and six American news outlets
Speaker 1: did name it, Tenant Media te n et now looky
Speaker 1: here from eleven days ago a tweet by Tenant Media
Speaker 1: with one of those videos Russia paid to infect the
Speaker 1: American bloodstream with Tenant Media eight twenty five, twenty four
Speaker 1: NASA's DEI trainings, including engineers vocalizing they feel shame for
Speaker 1: being white and for taking part in white supremacy Culture
Speaker 1: responded to buy elon Musk with two exclamation points. By
Speaker 1: the way, Glenn Beck fired his employee, Tenet Media co
Speaker 1: founder Lauren Chen, and his company insists that she was
Speaker 1: just quote independent contractor and that independent contract has been terminated.
Speaker 1: Shouldn't really work here, and I hope you weren't fooled
Speaker 1: by that For tax purposes, Almost every on air talent
Speaker 1: on almost every video outlet, television or otherwise is an
Speaker 1: independent contractor. You get hired by your own company, and
Speaker 1: then your company loans you out or rents you out
Speaker 1: to Glenn Beck's The Blaze or other dubious outlets like
Speaker 1: you know, NBC. Thus you are not technically a Glenn
Speaker 1: Beck employee. Now, I'm not saying this is ubiquitous, but
Speaker 1: I am literally this week celebrating the thirty sixth anniversary
Speaker 1: of the first month I was an independent contractor while
Speaker 1: I was the sports director of KCBS Television Channel two
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. My contract was with me. CBS's contract
Speaker 1: was with my company. Back to the main plot, and
Speaker 1: has been noted that neither Lauren Chen independent contractor, nor
Speaker 1: her husband and co founder of Tenet Media were indicted
Speaker 1: which is usually a huge tell for what the analyst.
Speaker 1: Andrew Weisman is guessing that they had both been charged
Speaker 1: under seal quite a while ago, and that Lauren Chen
Speaker 1: may have flipped, in which case those on camera influencers
Speaker 1: who claim they are just more victims here they may
Speaker 1: want to flee. One place where old timey media still
Speaker 1: works is piecing together the nuts and bolts of an
Speaker 1: operation like Tenet Media, and Will Summer did it spectacularly
Speaker 1: well in The Washington Post, and I'm going to steal
Speaker 1: two paragraphs of his about the ten million dollars, quoting
Speaker 1: much of the money went to Rubin and Pool. According
Speaker 1: to the indictment, Ruben received four hundred thousand dollars a
Speaker 1: month for sixteen videos, plus a performance bonus and a
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars signing bonus, all for a series
Speaker 1: in which Rubin commented on dumb internet clips that often
Speaker 1: received just roughly one thousand views per episode. By contrast,
Speaker 1: countdown the podcast about one hundred and twenty five thousand
Speaker 1: downloads and views per episode. Back to The Washington Post,
Speaker 1: Tenet also proved lucrative for Tim Poole, who made one
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars per episode for a weekly show he hosted.
Speaker 1: According to prosecutors, the same month that Tenant launched, Poole
Speaker 1: purchased a skate park in Martinsburg, West Virginia, as well
Speaker 1: as other significant real estate purchases in the same area.
Speaker 1: You can take the Pool out of West Virginia, but
Speaker 1: you can't take the West Virginia out of the pool.
Speaker 1: Back to the post, Ruben and Pool initially asked for
Speaker 1: more information about where the money was coming from, prompting
Speaker 1: the Russians to invent Eduard Gregorian, a fictional Belgian banker
Speaker 1: committed to free speech. The indictment states Gregorian's name was
Speaker 1: misspelled on many documents. This assumes mister Reuben and mister
Speaker 1: Poole can read. So what's next here? This clearly is
Speaker 1: not done. Olga Lautmann, Russian intel ops specialist at the
Speaker 1: Center for European Policy Analysis, offers a speculative list. I'm
Speaker 1: going to start a thread on others. She writes, Besides
Speaker 1: Benny Johnson, Tim Poole, et cetera, who should be investigated?
Speaker 1: Are you sitting down? Olga Lautman's two be investigated list?
Speaker 1: In part quote David sachs. Oh, that's Musk's pal. Glenn Greenwald.
Speaker 1: Glenn Greenwald, really, Matt Tayebe, Matt Tayibe, that's Matt Tayebe's name.
Speaker 1: Jack posobc Scott Ritter, Patrick, Hennigsen, Alex Rubinstein, Ben Swan,
Speaker 1: Kit Clarenberg, truth in Media, George Papadoppolis, Simona Papadopolis, Western Lensman,
Speaker 1: Chuck Clesto, Wyatt Reed, Caleb T. Moupan, retired Colonel Douglas McGregor,
Speaker 1: Glenn Greenwald I mentioned him already to continue her quoted list.
Speaker 1: Tara Reid, I know the name Tara Reid from Ray
Speaker 1: McGovern and Roger Waters. Unquote Roger Waters Bluntley I always
Speaker 1: preferred the David Gilmore version of comfortably numb anyway, And
Speaker 1: speaking of Waters Fox's Jesse Waters, no relation to any
Speaker 1: other human, said on the air that he would also
Speaker 1: be happy to become a Russian propagandist for four hundred
Speaker 1: dollars a month. But by my math, that would represent
Speaker 1: a raise for Jesse of four hundred thousand dollars a month.
Speaker 1: Poor cat turd left out again. But speaking of comfortably numb,
Speaker 1: let's hear it for the Washington Post. I mentioned it
Speaker 1: can still do wonders like the Will Summer piece I
Speaker 1: quoted from. On the other hand, from a post political
Speaker 1: m bed named Dylan Wells, while picking up lunch at
Speaker 1: a diner in Eerie, Pennsylvania, I hope the place is
Speaker 1: called this eerie diner. While picking up lunch at a
Speaker 1: diner in eerie Pennsylvania, she writes, Tim Walls did not
Speaker 1: respond to a shouted question about his response to members
Speaker 1: of his family who are supporting Donald Trump. He ordered
Speaker 1: a burger, onion rings and a hot fudge milkshake at
Speaker 1: Sarah's restaurant. Damn wrong name for the restaurant at Sarah's restaurant,
Speaker 1: just over twenty four hours since his last milkshake stop
Speaker 1: on this Pennsylvania campaign swing. Dylan Wells, Washington Post reporting,
Speaker 1: I mean, honest to god, it's like something we left
Speaker 1: out of the script for my character Tom Jumbo Grumbo
Speaker 1: in BoJack Horseman. Let me do that as Tom for
Speaker 1: a second. He ordered a burger, onion rings and a
Speaker 1: hot fdge milkshake at Sarah's restaurant, just over twenty four
Speaker 1: hours since his last milkshake stop on this Pennsylvania campaign swing.
Speaker 1: The Post also yesterday had a curious item an op
Speaker 1: ed from the publisher not of the Post, the publisher
Speaker 1: of the New York Times. And again, if you ever
Speaker 1: wondered how we got here, well we have a new
Speaker 1: first answer, which is the Russian money. That's one answer,
Speaker 1: and then the older answer, the myopia of the impossibly
Speaker 1: rich in whom we have foolishly invested morality. Ag Selzberger
Speaker 1: wrote a creed cur about the attacks on journalism by
Speaker 1: the right of the threat of a different form of
Speaker 1: government in this country, of the death possibly a freedom
Speaker 1: of the press. And it was excellent, and he concluded
Speaker 1: by reassuring the people of this country that he's not
Speaker 1: going to do an effing thing about it. Quote. As
Speaker 1: someone who strongly believes in the foundational importance of journalistic independence,
Speaker 1: I have no interest in waiting into politics. I disagree
Speaker 1: with those who have suggested that the risk Trump poses
Speaker 1: to the free press is so high that news organizations
Speaker 1: such as mine should cast aside neutrality and directly oppose
Speaker 1: his re election. It is beyond shortsighted. Salzburger continues to
Speaker 1: give up journalistic independence out of fear that it might
Speaker 1: later be taken away. I'm just gonna mention two words
Speaker 1: here as an aside ag reichstegfire. At the Times, we
Speaker 1: are committed to following the facts and presenting a full,
Speaker 1: fair and accurate picture of November's election and the candidates
Speaker 1: and issues shaping it. Our democratic model asks different institutions
Speaker 1: to play different roles. This is ours, unquote. Well, I'm
Speaker 1: sure you'll be able to memorize that final paragraph and
Speaker 1: recite it to the Trump revenge tribunal next year. The
Speaker 1: publisher of The New York Effing Times, writing I have
Speaker 1: no interest in waiting into politics would be like President
Speaker 1: Zelenski of Ukraine saying I have no interest in waiting
Speaker 1: into a fight with Putin. Mister Sealzburger, I don't care,
Speaker 1: tough shit, you are already in it. Trump invaded you
Speaker 1: and your country. Get off your high horse and get
Speaker 1: down here with the rest of us and do something
Speaker 1: about it. Or maybe not, maybe just go out of business,
Speaker 1: because what did the Times actually do for freedom of speech? Yesterday?
Speaker 1: It took two minutes of Trumpian words salad, in which
Speaker 1: he was asked about what practical measures and legislation he
Speaker 1: would take to counter the rising costs of child care,
Speaker 1: and he rambled on without pause or sentence structure or
Speaker 1: anything more specific than a vague reference to all that
Speaker 1: money he's gonna get from tariffs, and The Times wrote
Speaker 1: he said he would prioritize legislation on the issue. Clean
Speaker 1: up on Aisle nine, for Craze would be dictator nice
Speaker 1: work standing aside a g also of interest here. The
Speaker 1: problem with being Jesse Waters is that when you take
Speaker 1: a shot at Tim Walls for drinking milkshakes, you clearly
Speaker 1: have forgotten that all Donald Trump does is drink milkshakes.
Speaker 1: I drink her milkshake. That's next. This is countdown. This
Speaker 1: is Countdown with Keith Olberman still ahead of us on
Speaker 1: this edition of Countdown Fridays with Thurber. And I can't
Speaker 1: be sure who wrote the first comedic bit about well,
Speaker 1: of course, when I was a kid we had a
Speaker 1: twolf we had to walk uphill to school and then
Speaker 1: uphill home. But it might have been James Thurber. This
Speaker 1: story this week was my father's favorite Thurber story, and
Speaker 1: it is the definition of subtle hyperbole, if there is
Speaker 1: such a thing. The different approach to kids and school
Speaker 1: in the year nineteen o three, when as you will hear,
Speaker 1: James Thurber insisted that some of his fourth grade classmates
Speaker 1: had reputedly repeated the fourth grade every year since eighteen
Speaker 1: eighty three. Next, first, there are still more new idiots
Speaker 1: to talk about, the daily roundup of the miss Grants,
Speaker 1: morons and Dunning Kruger effects specimens who constitute two days
Speaker 1: worst persons in the world. I don't do a very
Speaker 1: good Yorkshire accent the bronze. You know what else isn't
Speaker 1: pretty good mid Days at MSNBC, says our Condey proprietor.
Speaker 1: It is not even six months now since the RNA
Speaker 1: Romney McDaniel incident. You remember that when Conday and his
Speaker 1: clueless minions running NBC News hired the Trump propagandist and
Speaker 1: election denier as a contributor to, among other things, MSNBC
Speaker 1: and Meet the Press, and then had to fire her
Speaker 1: two days later. The pressure to in particular, shove the
Speaker 1: network MSNBC back towards the fascist side of the spectrum,
Speaker 1: the death side of the spectrum that began in well,
Speaker 1: let me see when did I start there? October first,
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety seven. It started around October first, nineteen ninety seven,
Speaker 1: but it peaked around when did I leave January twenty eleven,
Speaker 1: around January two eve. Now today's efforts are almost matching
Speaker 1: those peak moments. I went on at length yesterday about
Speaker 1: Joe Scarborough's campaign to elect after mainstreaming Donald Trump, and
Speaker 1: then to enshrine him even after his inauguration. I have
Speaker 1: had to wade through the personally devastating sewage farm that
Speaker 1: is Katie Turrer's work on MSNBC. I have had to
Speaker 1: urge the retirement of Andrea Mitchell, whom I was once
Speaker 1: honored to meet, to work with, and to call a friend.
Speaker 1: And now there's this. Yesterday, the Department of Justice indicted
Speaker 1: two Russian propagandists in a plot to essentially let Putin
Speaker 1: and the Kremlin pay American maga online and video stars
Speaker 1: to undermine this nation, to defeat Ukraine, to install a
Speaker 1: dictator here, to imperil Europe, and to encourage right wingers
Speaker 1: to physically attack and even kill left wingers and moderates.
Speaker 1: Names were named, and as I mentioned earlier, there are
Speaker 1: a lot of obvious hints that some of the Americans
Speaker 1: on this end of the deal have flipped, and other
Speaker 1: names may be named, and that right soon and MSNBC's
Speaker 1: midday live coverage yesterday was almost entirely segment after segment
Speaker 1: after segment after segment about the court hearing for the
Speaker 1: son of the lame duck president of the United States.
Speaker 1: Whatever Hunter Biden did or did not do, it has
Speaker 1: no impact on the presidential race, It has no impact
Speaker 1: on this administration, It has no impact on the life
Speaker 1: of the average American, and certainly it has no impact
Speaker 1: on an attempt by Russia to overthrow our form of
Speaker 1: government using the freedoms of our form of government by
Speaker 1: remote control and bribery like the Russia stooge gate story.
Speaker 1: Does the story MSNBC Dayside ignored? Hen you baden? Because
Speaker 1: NBC executives watch MSNBC Dayside. See, that's why they do this.
Speaker 1: And the pressure to destroy MSNBC's very profitable, multi billion
Speaker 1: dollar space in the news market. And oh, by the way, Comcast, MSNBC,
Speaker 1: all of you there making that billion, You're welcome. They're
Speaker 1: doing this so that their conservative executives at Comcast can
Speaker 1: look at their Trumpest friends or maybe at a Trumpest
Speaker 1: Court of retribution next year and say, we were covering
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden, not your friend. Putin this is appalling. This
Speaker 1: is MSNBC the runner up. Senator Ron Johnson, the dead
Speaker 1: eyed Senator from Wisconsin, may be a Russian stooge, but
Speaker 1: in a larger sense, he is international. He is a
Speaker 1: stooge of the world. He is so stupid that there
Speaker 1: is no conspiracy theory he has ever heard that he
Speaker 1: does not believe, including one he apparently just heard and
Speaker 1: while regurgitating it in media. Hmm, why would he be
Speaker 1: regurgitating media anyway. Apparently he just heard this and he
Speaker 1: admits he doesn't understand it, but he's saying it anyway.
Speaker 1: Ron Johnson on WCPT Radio, The Great Depression was a conspiracy.
Speaker 1: It was planned in nineteen twenty nine, and it's going
Speaker 1: to happen again unless Trump gets elected. Joseph P. Kennedy
Speaker 1: and JP Morgan did it once and they will do
Speaker 1: it again. Okay, Ron, let's hear it well.
Speaker 4: One of the interesting revelations of creature from Jackill Island
Speaker 4: is the fact that the Great Depression is pretty well playing.
Speaker 4: You know, all the big money men were pretty well
Speaker 4: warned that they were going to finally collapse the system.
Speaker 4: They had booms and busts, but they had to finally
Speaker 4: just collapse, the system kind of start all over, So
Speaker 4: pull your money out of the market. And so again
Speaker 4: they're the big and powerful, the Joseph Kennedy's of the world.
Speaker 4: You know, the JP Morgan is in the world. They got
Speaker 4: off Scott three, they got out of the marketing time.
Speaker 4: So again I know this. I know it really sounds
Speaker 4: like conspiracy theory. I don't completely understand it, but it
Speaker 4: sure seems just in my bones, they just feel that
Speaker 4: there's a great deal of corruption and control there that
Speaker 4: the vast majority of people do not understand. And again,
Speaker 4: when you're the few people who do understand, and you've
Speaker 4: got the levers of power, bad things can happen.
Speaker 1: By the way, Joseph P. Kennedy and JP Morgan are
Speaker 1: going to do it again. Kennedy died in nineteen sixty nine,
Speaker 1: Morgan died in nineteen thirteen, and the Great Depression thirty
Speaker 1: in nineteen twenty. Unless yes, Senator Johnson means JP Morgan junior,
Speaker 1: or alternatively Johnson meant the actress, singer, and Gong show
Speaker 1: star JP Morgan. That's Jye. She was born in nineteen
Speaker 1: thirty one. So I don't think the nineteen twenty nine
Speaker 1: stock crash and the simultaneous depression were her fault. Her
Speaker 1: performance on the Gong Show was her fault. Senator doesn't
Speaker 1: understand any of this. He just feels it in his bones. Senator,
Speaker 1: that feeling in your bones is actually rickets. But our
Speaker 1: winner is speaking of never understanding it. He will never
Speaker 1: have rickets because he has no bones. Jesse Waters of Fox, who,
Speaker 1: in his rush to attack Tim Walls, has actually managed
Speaker 1: to attack instead his old boss and Donald Trump. The
Speaker 1: quote from Jesse Waters, women love masculinity, and women do
Speaker 1: not love Tim Walls. So that should just tell you
Speaker 1: about how masculine Tim Walls as. The other day you
Speaker 1: saw him with a vanilla ice cream shake. Vanilla ice
Speaker 1: cream shake is a sign of lack of masculinity. Here's
Speaker 1: the problem with that. As I've mentioned many times, Jesse
Speaker 1: Waters started at Fox as the stalker who went out
Speaker 1: and did Bill O'Reilly stalking for him when Bill O'Reilly
Speaker 1: was too busy stalking his own producers. Jesse Waters was
Speaker 1: the guy who literally followed around in a car a blogger,
Speaker 1: a liberal blogger, and told her when he finally confronted
Speaker 1: her and she thought she was being physically attacked by
Speaker 1: some strange guy, and boy is he a strange guy.
Speaker 1: She actually told her Amanda Turkle was her name, that
Speaker 1: O'Reilly had sent her him to follow her to stalk her.
Speaker 1: And he did this countless times with other people. He
Speaker 1: was Little Jesse waters Bill O'Reilly's stalker producer. The thing
Speaker 1: is that I used to have front row seats at
Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium, mostly to give the tickets away to make
Speaker 1: a wish, but I also went twenty twenty five times
Speaker 1: a year, entertained my friends, spent my money in a
Speaker 1: very conspicuous and you know, non socialist way, sitting in
Speaker 1: the front row, trying to annoy my former friends at
Speaker 1: the Yes Network by making sure that their shot of
Speaker 1: home plate had to include me in it since I
Speaker 1: was sitting there. I I'd bring my friends and we'd
Speaker 1: eat all the food and everything else. And often two
Speaker 1: people would be seated a couple of rows behind us
Speaker 1: in the free seats that they could call up and
Speaker 1: demand from the Yankees because they were too cheap to
Speaker 1: buy front row tickets or any other tickets. And they
Speaker 1: used to sit there, two friends apparently, and they used
Speaker 1: to drink nothing but vanilla ice cream shakes. To use
Speaker 1: Jesse Water's phrase, the other day you signed with a
Speaker 1: vanilla ice cream shake, which Tim Walls calls not masculine.
Speaker 1: The two friends were Bill O'Reilly and his friend Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: and the two of them used to sit there and
Speaker 1: I would look over periodically because O'Reilly is always, as
Speaker 1: you know, fascinated me. Every time he's ever seen me,
Speaker 1: he's looked the other way, and then when he thought
Speaker 1: I wasn't looking at him, he would stare at me.
Speaker 1: So we would have these I don't think he's looking
Speaker 1: at me, I'm going to stare at him contests. In
Speaker 1: any event, all they did they never talked, they never
Speaker 1: said anything, They never interacted with anybody. All they did
Speaker 1: was sit there chain chugging vanilla milkshakes. But apparently to
Speaker 1: Bill O'Reilly's former employee Jesse Waters, who is openly trying
Speaker 1: to get Donald Trump elected president, sorry, dictator of the
Speaker 1: United States. To Jesse Waters, the vanilla ice cream shake
Speaker 1: favored by O'Reilly and Trump is a sign of a
Speaker 1: feminine man. You heard him, Jesse, I may soon be
Speaker 1: selling milkshakes at Yankee Stadium, right. I made an Oopsie,
Speaker 1: Waters Today's worst milkshake in the world to the number
Speaker 1: one story on the Countdown, and Friday's were Thurber and
Speaker 1: I don't know when I went to Sullivan became my
Speaker 1: father's favorite Thurber story. I suspect it was in the hospital,
Speaker 1: when I was reading to him in the last six
Speaker 1: months of his life. I know I read it to
Speaker 1: him at least half a dozen times, the first five
Speaker 1: by his request. The last time he did not request it,
Speaker 1: in fact, and this is the most perverse kind of
Speaker 1: compliment I think any restriter has ever received. I read
Speaker 1: this story to him. It was the last thing that
Speaker 1: I read to him. In fact, it was the last
Speaker 1: thing he did on earth, was to listen to this
Speaker 1: story in a state of semi consciousness. He waited till
Speaker 1: the end of it. He took one deep, satisfied breath,
Speaker 1: and he died. I don't recommend this, but I think
Speaker 1: it does speak to the quality of the writing I
Speaker 1: went to Sullivant by James Thurber. I was reminded the
Speaker 1: other morning by what I don't remember, and it doesn't matter,
Speaker 1: of a crisp September morning last year when I went
Speaker 1: to the Grand Central to see a little boy of
Speaker 1: ten get excitedly on a special coach that was to
Speaker 1: take him to a boys' school somewhere north of Boston.
Speaker 1: He had never been away to school before. The coach
Speaker 1: was squirming with youngsters. You could tell after a while
Speaker 1: the novitiates shining and tremulous and a little awed from
Speaker 1: the more aloof boys who had been away to school before.
Speaker 1: But they were very much alike at first glance. There
Speaker 1: was for me, in case you thought I was leading
Speaker 1: up to that, no sharp feeling of old lost years
Speaker 1: in the tense atmosphere of that coach, because I never
Speaker 1: went away to a private school when I was a
Speaker 1: little boy. I went to Sullivant School in Columbus. I
Speaker 1: thought about it as I walked back to my hotel.
Speaker 1: Sullivant was an ordinary public school, and yet it was
Speaker 1: not like any other I have ever known of. In
Speaker 1: seeking an adjective to describe the Sullivant School of my
Speaker 1: years nineteen hundred and nineteen hundred and eight, I can
Speaker 1: only think of tough. Sullivant School was tough. The boys
Speaker 1: of Sullivant came mostly from the region around Central Market,
Speaker 1: a poorish district with many families of the laboring class.
Speaker 1: The school district also included a number of homes of
Speaker 1: the upper classes, because at the turn of the century
Speaker 1: one or two old residential streets still lingered near the
Speaker 1: shouting and rumbling of the market, reluctant to surrender their
Speaker 1: fine old houses to the encroaching rabble of commerce and
Speaker 1: become as a last they now have more vulgar business streets.
Speaker 1: I remember always first of all, the Sullivant baseball team.
Speaker 1: Most grammar school baseball teams are made up of boys
Speaker 1: in the seventh and eighth grades, or they were in
Speaker 1: my day, But with Sullivant it was different. Several of
Speaker 1: its best players were in the fourth grade, known to
Speaker 1: the teachers of the school as the terrible fourth. In
Speaker 1: that grade you first encountered fractions and long division, and
Speaker 1: many pupils lodged there for years, like logs in a brook.
Speaker 1: Some of the more able baseball players have been in
Speaker 1: the fourth grade for seven or eight years. Then, too,
Speaker 1: there were a number of boys who had not been
Speaker 1: in the class past the normal time, but were nevertheless
Speaker 1: deep into their teens. They had avoided starting to school
Speaker 1: by eluding the truant officer until they were ready to
Speaker 1: go into long pants, but he always got them in
Speaker 1: the end. One or two of these fourth graders were
Speaker 1: seventeen or eighteen years old, but the dean of the
Speaker 1: squad was a tall, husky young man of twenty two
Speaker 1: who was in the fifth grade. The teachers of the
Speaker 1: third and fourth I had got tired of having him
Speaker 1: around as the years rolled along, and had pushed him on.
Speaker 1: His name was Dana Wayeney, and he had a mustache.
Speaker 1: Don't ask me why his parents allowed him to stay
Speaker 1: in school so long. There were many mysteries at Sullivant
Speaker 1: that were never cleared up. All I know is why
Speaker 1: he kept on in school and didn't go to work.
Speaker 1: He liked playing on the baseball team, and he had
Speaker 1: a pretty easy time in class because the teachers had
Speaker 1: given up asking him any questions at all years before.
Speaker 1: The story was that he had answered but one question
Speaker 1: in the seventeen years he had been going to classes
Speaker 1: at Sullivant, and that was what is one use of
Speaker 1: the comma? The kami, said Dana, embarrassingly, unsnarling his long
Speaker 1: legs from beneath a desk much too low for him,
Speaker 1: is used to shoot marbles with Kami's was our word
Speaker 1: for those cheap ten percent marbles, in case it wasn't yours.
Speaker 1: The Sullivant School baseball team of nineteen hundred and five
Speaker 1: defeated several high school teams in the city and claimed
Speaker 1: the high school championship of the state, to which title
Speaker 1: it had, of course, no technical right. I believe the
Speaker 1: boys could have proved their moral right to the championship, however,
Speaker 1: if they had been allowed to go out of town
Speaker 1: and play all the teams they challenged, such as the
Speaker 1: powerful Dayton and Toledo Nines. But their road season was
Speaker 1: called off after a terrific fight that occurred during one
Speaker 1: game at Mount Stirling or Picqua or Zenia, I can't
Speaker 1: remember which. Our first baseman, Dana Whaney, crowned the umpire
Speaker 1: with a bat during an altercation overcalled strike and the
Speaker 1: fight was on. It took place in the fourth inning,
Speaker 1: so of course the game was never finished. The battle
Speaker 1: continued on down into the business section of the town
Speaker 1: and raged for hours, with much destruction of property. But
Speaker 1: since Sullivan was ahead of the time seventeen to nothing,
Speaker 1: there could have been no doubt as to the outcome.
Speaker 1: Nobody was killed all of US boys were sure our
Speaker 1: team could have beaten Ohio State University that year, but
Speaker 1: they wouldn't play us. They were scared. Wayney was by
Speaker 1: no means the biggest or toughest guy on the Grammar
Speaker 1: School team. He was merely the oldest, being about a
Speaker 1: year the senior of Floyd, the center fielder who could
Speaker 1: jump five feet straight into the air without taking a
Speaker 1: running start. Nobody knew, not even the Board of Education,
Speaker 1: which once tried to find out whether Floyd was Floyd's
Speaker 1: first name or his last name. He apparently only had one.
Speaker 1: He didn't have any parents, and nobody, including himself, seemed
Speaker 1: to know where he lived. When teachers insisted that he
Speaker 1: must have another name to go with Floyd, he would
Speaker 1: grow sullen and ominous, and they would cease questioning him
Speaker 1: because he was a dangerous scholar in his schoolroom brawl,
Speaker 1: as mister Harrigan, the janitor found out one morning when
Speaker 1: he was called in by a screaming teacher. All our
Speaker 1: teachers were women to get Floyd under control after she
Speaker 1: had tried to whip him and he had begun to
Speaker 1: take the room apart, beginning with the desks, Floyd broke
Speaker 1: into small pieces the switch she had used on him.
Speaker 1: Some said he also ate it. I don't know, because
Speaker 1: I was home sick at the time with mumps or something.
Speaker 1: Harrigan was a burly, iron muscle janitor, a man come
Speaker 1: from a long line of coal shovelers, but he was
Speaker 1: no match for Floyd, who had to be sure the
Speaker 1: considerable advantage of being more aroused than mister Harrigan. When
Speaker 1: their fight started, Floyd had him down and was sitting
Speaker 1: on his chest in no time, and Harrigan had to
Speaker 1: promise to be good and to say that's what I
Speaker 1: get ten times before Floyd would let him up. I
Speaker 1: don't suppose I would ever have got through Sullivant School
Speaker 1: alive if it hadn't been for Floyd. For some reason,
Speaker 1: he appointed himself my protector, and I needed one. If
Speaker 1: Floyd was known to be on your side, nobody in
Speaker 1: the school would dare be after you and chase you home.
Speaker 1: I was one of the ten or fifteen male pupils
Speaker 1: in Sullivant School who always or almost always knew their lessons,
Speaker 1: and I believe Floyd admired the mental prowess of a
Speaker 1: youngster who knew how many continents there were, and whether
Speaker 1: or not the sun was inhabited. Also, one time, when
Speaker 1: it came to be my turn to read to the class,
Speaker 1: we used to take turns reading American history aloud, I
Speaker 1: came across the word Duquane and knew how to pronounce it.
Speaker 1: That charmed Floyd, who had been slouched in his seat
Speaker 1: idly following the printed page of his worn and penciled textbook.
Speaker 1: How you know that was duquane, boy, he asked me
Speaker 1: after class. I don't know, I said, I just knew it.
Speaker 1: He looked at me with round eyes. Oh that's something
Speaker 1: he said. After that word got around that Floyd would
Speaker 1: beat the tar out of anybody that messed around with me.
Speaker 1: I wore glasses from the time I was eight, and
Speaker 1: I knew my lessons, and both of those things were
Speaker 1: considered pretty terrible at Sullivan. Floyd had one idiosyncrasy though.
Speaker 1: In the early nineteen hundreds, long, warm, furry gloves that
Speaker 1: came almost to your elbows were popular with boys, and
Speaker 1: Floyd had one of the biggest pears in school. He
Speaker 1: wore them the year round. Dick Peterson was an either
Speaker 1: greater figure on the baseball team and in the school
Speaker 1: than Floyd was. He had a way in the classroom
Speaker 1: of blurting out a long, deep, rolling be for no
Speaker 1: reason at all. Once he licked three boys his own size,
Speaker 1: single handed, really single handed, for he fought with his
Speaker 1: right hand and held a mandolin in his left hand
Speaker 1: all the time. It came out uninjured. Dick and Floyd
Speaker 1: never met in mortal combat, so nobody ever knew which
Speaker 1: one could beat, and the scholars were about evenly divided
Speaker 1: in their opinions. Many a fight started among them after
Speaker 1: school when the argument came up. I think school never
Speaker 1: let out at Sullivan without at least one fight starting up,
Speaker 1: and sometimes there was as many as five or six
Speaker 1: raging between the corner of Oak and sixth Streets and
Speaker 1: the corner of Rich and Fourth Streets four blocks away.
Speaker 1: Now and again, virtually the whole school turned out to
Speaker 1: fight the Catholic boys of the Holy Cross Academy in
Speaker 1: Fifth Street near town for no reason at all, in
Speaker 1: winter with snowballs and ice balls, in other seasons with fists,
Speaker 1: brick bats, and clubs. Dick Peterson was always in the van, yelling, singing,
Speaker 1: being whirling all the way around when he swung with
Speaker 1: his right, or if he hadn't brought his mandle in
Speaker 1: his left and missed. He made himself the pitcher on
Speaker 1: the baseball team because he was the captain. He was
Speaker 1: the captain because everybody else was afraid to challenge his
Speaker 1: self election except Floyd. Floyd was too lazy to pitch,
Speaker 1: and he didn't care who was captain because he didn't
Speaker 1: fully comprehend what that meant. On one occasion, when Earl Baddock,
Speaker 1: a steamfitter's son, had shut out Mound Street School for
Speaker 1: six innings without a hit, Dick took him out of
Speaker 1: the pitcher's box and went in himself. He was hit
Speaker 1: hard and the other team scored, but it didn't make
Speaker 1: much difference because the margin of Sullivan's victory was so
Speaker 1: great the team didn't lose a game for five years
Speaker 1: to another grammar school. When Dick Peterson was in the
Speaker 1: sixth grade, he got into a saloon brawl and was killed.
Speaker 1: When I go back to Columbus, I always walked past
Speaker 1: Sullivant School. I have never happened to get there when
Speaker 1: classes were letting out, so I don't know what the
Speaker 1: pupils are like. Now. I am sure there are no
Speaker 1: more Dick Peterson's and no more Floyd's unless Floyd is
Speaker 1: still going to school there. The playyard is still entirely
Speaker 1: bare of grass and covered with gravel, and the sycamore
Speaker 1: is still lining the curb between the schoolhouse fence and
Speaker 1: the Oak Street car line. A street car line running
Speaker 1: past a schoolhouse is a dangerous thing as a rule,
Speaker 1: but I remember no one being injured while I was
Speaker 1: attending Sullivant. I do remember, however, one person who came
Speaker 1: very near being injured. He was a motorman on the
Speaker 1: Oak Street line, and once when his car stopped at
Speaker 1: the corner of six to let off passengers, he yelled
Speaker 1: at Judy Davidson, who played third base on the ball
Speaker 1: team and was a member of the Terrible Fourth, to
Speaker 1: get out of the way. Choudy was fourteen years old,
Speaker 1: but huge for his age, and he was standing on
Speaker 1: the tracks taking a chew of tobacco. Come on down
Speaker 1: off of that con I'll not kip lock off, said Chouty,
Speaker 1: and what I can only describe as a sullivant tone
Speaker 1: of voice. The motorman waited until Shooty moved slowly off
Speaker 1: the tracks, then he went on about his business. I
Speaker 1: think it was lucky for him that he did. There
Speaker 1: were boys in those days. I went to Sullivant by
Speaker 1: James Thurber. The baseball team could have beaten Ohio State.
Speaker 1: I've done all the damage I can do here. Thank
Speaker 1: you for listening. We are now back to five episodes
Speaker 1: a week, starting Monday, posting nightly just after midnight Eastern
Speaker 1: as usual. I'm gonna say this again. The ones on
Speaker 1: Monday are gonna be brief, probably less than ten minutes,
Speaker 1: so I don't want to hear any complaints. You got me.
Speaker 1: I'm an old man. I've been doing something like this
Speaker 1: every day for like forty nine years now. I need
Speaker 1: a nap. I'm giving my nap up so you can
Speaker 1: have this on Monday mornings. Hush. The YouTube version goes
Speaker 1: up around five am. If you're not subscribing to one
Speaker 1: or both, and you know what, if I'm going to
Speaker 1: go and do this, you should subscribe to both the
Speaker 1: YouTube version and the podcast version. Artificial inflation of numbers online?
Speaker 1: Who to thunk it? I'm just gonna make a public
Speaker 1: appeal here. I don't have Kremlin money coming in. I
Speaker 1: don't have hundreds of thousands of dollars now, Look, I
Speaker 1: don't need any more money. If I live to be
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty two years old, I'm going to
Speaker 1: run out of cash. On the other hand, if you'd
Speaker 1: like to keep motivating me, cash is a good way
Speaker 1: of doing it. When I don't want to do this
Speaker 1: and I think, Wow, four hundred thousand dollars a week
Speaker 1: from the Kremlin, Okay, I can understand why these idiots
Speaker 1: are doing it. And I'm not asking for four hundred
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, and I certainly don't want it from the Kremlin.
Speaker 1: Four hundred thousand dollars a year from the We don't
Speaker 1: have a liberal version of the Kremlin. Four thousand dollars
Speaker 1: a month from the forty dollars a week. All right,
Speaker 1: how much you get if you got on you? What
Speaker 1: am I asking for you from you? Am I asking
Speaker 1: for four dollars a week? No, I'm not. I'm saying,
Speaker 1: just subscribe to the two things and we'll inflate the
Speaker 1: numbers that way. That'll be my motivation. Oh, there are
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty million people listening to this. Well,
Speaker 1: it's it's two hundred and fifty people and they've each
Speaker 1: described a million times. But I digress. Please share this
Speaker 1: podcast with somebody who does not subscribe. Brian Ray and
Speaker 1: John Phillip Shaneil, the musical directors, have Countdown Arrange, produced
Speaker 1: and performed most of our music. They have subscribed two
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy one times each. Mister Chanelle handled orchestration
Speaker 1: in keyboards, mister Ray was on the guitars, bass and drums.
Speaker 1: And of course when I say two hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: one times each, I'm lying. These are all principled people
Speaker 1: who have not subscribed more than once. Unfortunately, it was
Speaker 1: produced by TKO Brothers. Our satirical and pithy musical comments
Speaker 1: are by the best baseball stadium organist ever, the eminently
Speaker 1: ethical Nancy Faust. The sports music is the Olderman theme
Speaker 1: from ESPN two, written by Mitch Warren Davis, a completely
Speaker 1: ethical individual courtesy of ESPN Inc. Nothing but ethics there.
Speaker 1: That's what the E in ESPN stands for. I mean
Speaker 1: ESPN could underwrite this other music arranged and performed by
Speaker 1: Noah Horns allowed. I do have to pay for the advertisements. Now,
Speaker 1: maybe someone can underwrite the advertisements. My announcer today is
Speaker 1: my friend John Dean, and by the way, for all
Speaker 1: the joking around about ethics. When I list all the
Speaker 1: people I know with ethics, John is first, and then
Speaker 1: there's like a five hundred person spaceless gap there until
Speaker 1: we get to number two. Who is actually number five
Speaker 1: hundred and two. I have to figure out who that is.
Speaker 1: Everything else was pretty much my fault. Maybe I'm number
Speaker 1: five hundred and two of all the ethical people I know. Coincidentally,
Speaker 1: that's the five hundred and first edition of countdown for
Speaker 1: this the sixty first day until the twenty twenty four
Speaker 1: presidential election, the one thousand, three hundred and thirty third
Speaker 1: day since convicted felon dementia j Trump's first attempted coup
Speaker 1: against the democratically elected government of the United States. I
Speaker 1: don't think Trump's on that ethical list at all. He's
Speaker 1: down there below Ron Johnson use the September eighteenth sentencing hearing,
Speaker 1: use the mental health system used presidential immunity. The Supreme
Speaker 1: Theocratic Court has given it to you, President Biden. Hugh's
Speaker 1: the immunity. I mean, they've said, if it's official, it's legal,
Speaker 1: Go have fun. The next scheduled countdown is Monday. What
Speaker 1: am I doing? Bulletins as the news requires, till the
Speaker 1: next one. If I ever finished this one, I'm Keith Olderman.
Speaker 1: Good morning, good afternoon, good night, and good luck. Countdown
Speaker 1: with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. For more
