Speaker 1: Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. Heir
Speaker 1: of the Countdown Monday headline. Republican candidate domestic Jay terrorist
Speaker 1: has now broken the record for the most sharks jumped
Speaker 1: in a single day. Electric sharks with fricking laser beams
Speaker 1: on their heads, no less. Trump now claiming he was
Speaker 1: the target of another assassination attempt in which none of
Speaker 1: it happened nearer than four hundred yards away from him,
Speaker 1: and there's no video, and the preliminary ID of the
Speaker 1: suspect shows a career criminal who was posting about his
Speaker 1: dream ticket Nikki Hailey and Vivek Ramaswami. And within minutes,
Speaker 1: Trump was fundraising off the event and trying to erase
Speaker 1: the memory of a post he had made earlier in
Speaker 1: the same day, in which he declared, without context or rationality, quote,
Speaker 1: I hate Taylor Swift unquote. Meanwhile, his running mate JV
Speaker 1: Vance has convassed on national television that he quote creates
Speaker 1: unquote stories like this lie about a city in the
Speaker 1: state he represents in the Senate, a lie that has
Speaker 1: led to the evacuation of schools there, of a hospital,
Speaker 1: of a university and city offices and if he cannot
Speaker 1: be forced to resign his office, there must be at
Speaker 1: minimum on the Senate floor today a motion to expel
Speaker 1: or at least censure JD. Vance oh and Kamala Harris's
Speaker 1: lead over this procession of train wrecks, so many train
Speaker 1: wrecks that some of them wrecked while still at the station,
Speaker 1: some of them wrecked while still in the train sheds.
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris's lead has extended to six points among likely voters.
Speaker 1: Trump first, and for once, it is not me dropping
Speaker 1: the T word on him. It is his niece Mary.
Speaker 1: Quote Donald J. Trump is a domestic terrorist unquote fact check.
Speaker 1: I thought we had established this in twenty sixteen hens
Speaker 1: the bombitas in Springfield, Ohio.
Speaker 2: I don't know what happened with the bomb threats. I
Speaker 2: know that it's been taken over by illegal migrants, and
Speaker 2: that's a terrible thing that happened. Springfield was this beautiful
Speaker 2: town and now they're going through hell.
Speaker 1: The correct answer to any question sounding like do you
Speaker 1: denounce the bomb threat is yes. Trump is of course
Speaker 1: incapable of that. Therefore he is now an accessory to
Speaker 1: whatever happens in Springfield, Ohio. But of course, if somebody
Speaker 1: is seen with a gun near his golf course while
Speaker 1: he is playing on it, And how could they have
Speaker 1: ever known when Trump would be playing golf. That is
Speaker 1: an assassination attempt, according to Trump, and he is a martyr,
Speaker 1: and this was ordered by the Pope or somebody, and
Speaker 1: Laura Loomer will be rushing to the scene to serve
Speaker 1: as an almost human shield and stop any bullets with
Speaker 1: her six inch thick application of makeup or his. It
Speaker 1: will never ever ever dawn on any of these people
Speaker 1: that this is the America they wanted, and that this
Speaker 1: is the America they have gotten. Spend a decade telling
Speaker 1: people in not so veiled words to commit acts of
Speaker 1: political violence, and you can't suddenly announce. But I didn't
Speaker 1: mean acts of political violence against me. Twice now somebody,
Speaker 1: I'll note again the first guy was another MAGA Republican
Speaker 1: gun nut who just wanted to shoot somebody. Twice. Now
Speaker 1: somebody wanted to shoot Trump. And still not one of
Speaker 1: them will entertain the thought of just banning those kinds
Speaker 1: of weapons. The shooters had AK forty seven, this time,
Speaker 1: apparently four days ago in Tucson, Trump literally praised AK
Speaker 1: forty seven's as if they were beautiful women. There is
Speaker 1: literally no sin in his or their brains that could
Speaker 1: tie statements like that to what happened or, more correctly,
Speaker 1: what didn't happen yesterday. There is also no synaps in
Speaker 1: their brains that could correctly answer the question, would you
Speaker 1: rather ban just AK forty seven's in AR fifteen's and
Speaker 1: the like just those, or would you rather let somebody
Speaker 1: else try to shoot at Trump with one of them
Speaker 1: for a guy whose cheese whiz is sliding off his
Speaker 1: ritz cracker with ever increasing speed. Trump had an amazingly
Speaker 1: busy Sunday. The I Hate Taylor Swift post is actually real,
Speaker 1: actually fueled by something in his brain that thought it
Speaker 1: was somehow a good idea. It was followed exactly twenty
Speaker 1: minutes later by the failing New York Times is a
Speaker 1: true threat to democracy, which was either about the Times
Speaker 1: peace on John Roberts customizing Supreme Court rulings to Trump's
Speaker 1: life kings, or Trump has just joined our cause and
Speaker 1: was complaining about the latest in this Ohio diner. Times
Speaker 1: both sides this nonsense, or and I confess, for just
Speaker 1: a second I dreamed things that never were and asked
Speaker 1: why not and thought maybe he's referring to a letter
Speaker 1: to the editor in The Times, the one with the
Speaker 1: headline held involuntarily in a psychiatric hospital, which continues to
Speaker 1: be the best possible compromise here. That will never be
Speaker 1: because early yesterday morning, Trump also posted, the Democrats are
Speaker 1: destroying our country. Reverse deportation immediately. And I spent a
Speaker 1: couple of hours on this, and not only don't I
Speaker 1: know what he meant, but I can't find anybody who
Speaker 1: does know what he meant. Reverse deportation. That would have
Speaker 1: to be forcing foreign people into this country, and that
Speaker 1: would be a policy twist for Trump that would outdo
Speaker 1: even his about face on TikTok. Or maybe reverse deportation
Speaker 1: would have to mean that the nation must stop all
Speaker 1: plans to deport anybody out of here, in which case
Speaker 1: you better look around the room for Steven Miller's head,
Speaker 1: because it presumably exploded. Trump was replying to a complaint
Speaker 1: from one of his cultists about other cities in Alabama
Speaker 1: where local leaders Republicans, by the way, also invited immigrants
Speaker 1: to come in and work jobs that incumbent Americans would
Speaker 1: not take in places incumbent Americans would not live communities
Speaker 1: like Springfield, Ohio have been reborn. It is a story
Speaker 1: of America as old as the nation itself because of
Speaker 1: the immigrants, because in the Ohio case of the Haitians,
Speaker 1: but of course Susan from Silicaga, Alabama wants the increase
Speaker 1: in her tax base, but without all them people of color.
Speaker 1: Because that is the other story of America that is
Speaker 1: as old as the nation itself, which brings us back
Speaker 1: to JD. Vance. The Ohio state representative Casey Weinstein District
Speaker 1: thirty four Akron has called on Vance to resign because
Speaker 1: Vance actually did go on national television and tell CNN's
Speaker 1: Dana Bash, who largely redeemed herself in this interview, that
Speaker 1: he had quote to create stories unquote like the non
Speaker 1: existent cat eaters of Springfield, Ohio. Create. He used the
Speaker 1: word create and then tried to back away from the
Speaker 1: word create later create stories, and then he said he
Speaker 1: would do it again.
Speaker 3: The American media totally ignored this stuff until Donald Trump
Speaker 3: and I start talking about cat means if I have to,
Speaker 3: if I have to mean create stories so that the
Speaker 3: American media actually pays it attention to the suffering of
Speaker 3: the American people. Then That's what I'm going to do, Dana,
Speaker 3: because you guys are completely letting Kamala Harris coast.
Speaker 1: The senator from Ohio, stochastically terrorizing the city of Springfield, Ohio,
Speaker 1: school and university shootings, threatened businesses, closed families, hiding indoors, migrants,
Speaker 1: and there are five thousand of them in the entire state.
Speaker 1: There aren't twenty thousand in the city or two hundred
Speaker 1: thousand in the city of Springfield. And these overcrowded schools
Speaker 1: there are in fact still below pre pandemic enrollment levels.
Speaker 1: And you have heard otherwise because JD. Vance is a
Speaker 1: remorseless propagandist and a racist who is literally willing to
Speaker 1: torch his own state and get people who voted for
Speaker 1: him killed to benefit those he really represents, the billionaire
Speaker 1: fascists like Donald J. Trump. He has no place in government.
Speaker 1: It does not appear, even has Trump's excuse of insanity
Speaker 1: setting aside for the moment the question of the election,
Speaker 1: there must be a move to expel him from the
Speaker 1: Senate today because also Springfield, Ohio is actually a dry run.
Speaker 1: In fact, it is two dry runs for things that
Speaker 1: are far, far worse. The first is Trump has now
Speaker 1: revealed the real goal here to deport not just undocumented
Speaker 1: immigrants in this country, but the ones who are here
Speaker 1: officially and fully legally. Presumably that was what Trump was
Speaker 1: supposed to write when he garbled the message and demanded
Speaker 1: reverse deportation. And they are already gearing up the next
Speaker 1: locations to try this out, in the ones in Alabama
Speaker 1: I mentioned before, and at Charleroy in Pennsylvania, where the
Speaker 1: racists true fears are being realized, where immigrants are fitting in,
Speaker 1: assimilating and by the way, working harder than the people
Speaker 1: who had already lived there and rebirthing their communities. The
Speaker 1: second dry run is more dire still. I am patching
Speaker 1: things together here, not quoting inside information. But if you
Speaker 1: wanted to see if you could get maga thugs to
Speaker 1: disrupt election day by targeting a town or a city
Speaker 1: or part of a swing state that was heavily democratic,
Speaker 1: say Atlanta, Georgia, or could be Madison, Wisconsin, could be anywhere,
Speaker 1: if you wanted to estimate now just how much of
Speaker 1: an impact you could have merely by spreading plausibly deniable
Speaker 1: rumors about immigration terrorism cat eating. If you wanted to
Speaker 1: make bomb threats well, here's your dry run. Sick your
Speaker 1: cowardly terrorists on. Throw a dart, find a map, and
Speaker 1: throw a dart oh Springfield, Ohio. Sick your cowardly terrorists
Speaker 1: on Springfield, Ohio, and see how many people they will
Speaker 1: threaten to kill and how many locations like schools, universities,
Speaker 1: public offices, locations where there will be polling stations on
Speaker 1: November fifth. Find out how many of them will have
Speaker 1: to be shut down, how loud you have to get
Speaker 1: before those idiots who believe in you will stochastically act
Speaker 1: on your behalf and terrorize a community on election day.
Speaker 1: Because for all the handwringing over the falsehoods about Springfield,
Speaker 1: Ohio that Governor Mike Dwine, a Republican who is retiring, made,
Speaker 1: he could not bring himself to blame Trump or the
Speaker 1: national GOP, Nor could the Republican Ohio Senate candidate Bernie
Speaker 1: Moreno or Lieutenant Governor John Houston or Attorney General Yost
Speaker 1: or Secretary of State LaRose. Because this is a dry run,
Speaker 1: because Trump's chances of winning, and increasingly Republican Senate, House
Speaker 1: and gubernatorial chances of winning are shrinking with every passing day,
Speaker 1: and Trump will, and they will resort to anything to
Speaker 1: change that. Remember, at all times, Trump's life literally depends
Speaker 1: on winning this election. His nobody else's his. He will
Speaker 1: kill you to win. He would kill jd Vance to win.
Speaker 1: Scaring people into staying home on November fifth is in
Speaker 1: fact one of the gentler and lazier of Republican options
Speaker 1: to affect the election. It is also, happily one that
Speaker 1: can be thwarted by early voting. New version of that
Speaker 1: from Brian Ray. It'll have its world premiere at the
Speaker 1: end of this bulletin. I'll play it in full. The lead,
Speaker 1: by the way, is six ABC News ipsos Harrows fifty two,
Speaker 1: Trump forty six among likely voters. And that is without
Speaker 1: a debate bump yet. And remember Nate Silver's actually useful
Speaker 1: observation that debate bumps often take weeks to show up. Interestingly,
Speaker 1: in the ABC poll, her lead did grow one point
Speaker 1: among all adults. The real polling news, the Des Moines Register,
Speaker 1: last bothered to look in June, when it was Trump
Speaker 1: fifty Biden thirty two. In polling that finished last Wednesday
Speaker 1: and was published yesterday, it is Trump forty seven, Harris
Speaker 1: forty three. That's likely voters. Among Iowa women, they favor
Speaker 1: her fifty three forty six, and the polls shows intent
Speaker 1: to vote jumps between six and ten points for various
Speaker 1: key demographics. City dwellers, women, college degree holders, and those
Speaker 1: under forty five now between six and ten points more
Speaker 1: likely to vote than they were in June. Iowa may
Speaker 1: be a swing state in Wisconsin. Insider Advantage polls a
Speaker 1: month ago, Trump by one is now Harris by two.
Speaker 1: Likely voters at Yugov and Tip Insights have the national
Speaker 1: race at Harris plus four. Born in Consult Harris plus five,
Speaker 1: ABC Harris plus six. The other headlines, Laura Loomer has
Speaker 1: threatened to sue Bill Maher for defamation from implying Friday
Speaker 1: Night that she's having an affair with Trumpey. Of all,
Speaker 1: who in the hell do I root for here? I mean,
Speaker 1: what kind of choice is this? Laura Lumer or Bill Maher?
Speaker 1: How about just a really long, painful discovery. But more importantly,
Speaker 1: there is actually a story in this. Lumer, in threatening
Speaker 1: to sue him for defamation, is claiming that claiming that
Speaker 1: somebody is having a relationship with Trump defames that person.
Speaker 1: My god, she's right about something ah, but for the
Speaker 1: previous Laura Lumer Marjorie Taylor Green, not so much. Eighth
Speaker 1: eight am. The ABC whistleblower who claimed Kamala Harris was
Speaker 1: given debate questions ahead of the debate has died in
Speaker 1: a car crash. According to news reports twelve thirty five PM,
Speaker 1: this story appears to be false and I'm glad to
Speaker 1: hear it. Whatever you say, Barnie. According to news reports
Speaker 1: from I Made This Up News, the whistleblower has in
Speaker 1: fact died in Ohio because he was eaten by cats.
Speaker 1: Those are the Countdown Monday headlines for this the including
Speaker 1: today fifty first day until the twenty twenty four election.
Speaker 1: A full edition of Countdown Tomorrow bulletins is the news
Speaker 1: warrants until then. I'm Keith Olderman. Good morning, good afternoon,
