WEBVTT - TRUMP IS DROWNING - 12.18.25 0:00:04.795 --> 0:00:20.795 Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. Trump 0:00:21.355 --> 0:00:28.315 is drowning. Trump's presidency is drowning. Yesterday, Republicans forced a 0:00:28.395 --> 0:00:33.915 vote to extend Obamacare subsidies against Trump's will. Yesterday, thirty 0:00:33.955 --> 0:00:37.435 eight percent approval in the Marist poll. Monday, his Rob 0:00:37.475 --> 0:00:41.035 Reiner tweet that appalled even the worst of Mega Tuesday, 0:00:41.195 --> 0:00:46.355 Susie Wiles Friday the Epstein Files, proving no history doesn't 0:00:46.355 --> 0:00:52.515 repeat itself. But yes, sometimes it literally rhymes so much failure, 0:00:52.835 --> 0:00:57.715 so many el's, so little time to cackle. Sometimes the 0:00:57.835 --> 0:01:00.835 shit comes down so heavy. As my late friend Bill 0:01:00.915 --> 0:01:03.635 Hurt said in the movie Body Heat, I feel like 0:01:03.715 --> 0:01:08.035 I should wear a hat. Only Trump doesn't have a hat. 0:01:08.875 --> 0:01:12.155 He went to wag the dog in Venezuela and nobody 0:01:12.235 --> 0:01:16.155 even noticed. And when he screwed that up too, insisting 0:01:16.195 --> 0:01:21.235 an American armada had entirely surrounded Venezuela and setting aside 0:01:21.275 --> 0:01:25.115 that unauthorized act of war, you really want to call 0:01:25.155 --> 0:01:28.475 it an armada like the Spanish armada that crashed and 0:01:28.595 --> 0:01:31.595 burned instead of taking over England in fifteen eighty eight, 0:01:31.795 --> 0:01:35.355 And Spain hasn't been a world power since, and did 0:01:35.395 --> 0:01:40.435 you say your armada had entirely surrounded Venezuela. Does that 0:01:40.515 --> 0:01:43.355 include the thirty two hundred miles of the Venezuelan border 0:01:43.355 --> 0:01:46.675 that is on land. Did you park a battleship on 0:01:46.755 --> 0:01:52.155 the border with Brazil, Donnie, you flatulant moron. Also, this 0:01:52.275 --> 0:01:58.075 is about narco terrorism, whatever the f that is. No, 0:01:58.355 --> 0:02:02.035 it's really about oil. It's about stuff they stole. It's 0:02:02.395 --> 0:02:05.075 nuh uh for the first but not the last time. 0:02:05.115 --> 0:02:09.275 Today we turned to Susie Wiles for the it's a 0:02:09.315 --> 0:02:12.075 strange word to use about the Trump administration, but here 0:02:12.115 --> 0:02:16.675 it is about the truth. Quoting her, he wants to 0:02:16.795 --> 0:02:21.635 keep on blowing boats up until Maduro cries uncle, and 0:02:21.795 --> 0:02:27.035 people weigh smarter than me on that say, he will unquote. 0:02:27.795 --> 0:02:31.395 So it's regime change. And of course there is that 0:02:31.635 --> 0:02:34.835 other reality that never occurred to Trump as he drowns 0:02:35.075 --> 0:02:38.715 well as you're armada. Now, if he and Rubio and 0:02:38.755 --> 0:02:41.915 these other political whores can declare that they can take 0:02:41.995 --> 0:02:45.635 Venezuela's oil, and more importantly, they can try to force 0:02:45.795 --> 0:02:50.395 regime change in Venezuela, Guess what that means That Venezuela 0:02:50.515 --> 0:02:54.715 is entitled to try to force regime change in America, 0:02:55.115 --> 0:03:03.155 Stop Don't come back. Trump is drowning on dry land. 0:03:04.715 --> 0:03:08.435 The Marist Poll Commission for NPR and PBS thirty eight 0:03:08.555 --> 0:03:12.915 percent approval thirty eight He's cracked the bottom forty, his 0:03:13.035 --> 0:03:18.075 worst number this term, worst overall since twenty eighteen, and 0:03:18.195 --> 0:03:20.955 thirty eight percent is better than the interior numbers in 0:03:20.995 --> 0:03:24.075 this poll. Approval on the economy is thirty six percent. 0:03:24.555 --> 0:03:27.875 Who do you trust to handle the economy? Republicans thirty 0:03:27.915 --> 0:03:33.195 three percent, Democrats thirty seven percent. Economic disapproval of Trump 0:03:33.235 --> 0:03:37.235 by group, Rural residents forty nine to forty three disapprove, 0:03:37.675 --> 0:03:41.115 White women who didn't go to college forty eight percent disapproved, 0:03:41.275 --> 0:03:49.075 to forty one suburbs. The suburbs OI sixty percent disapprove 0:03:49.315 --> 0:03:53.155 on the economy to thirty three. Who approve and the 0:03:53.195 --> 0:03:56.835 strength of your opinion about him? Of registered voters ask 0:03:56.955 --> 0:04:00.075 if they approve or disapprove of him, half say they 0:04:00.315 --> 0:04:05.435 strongly disapprove, half and six out of ten of us 0:04:05.435 --> 0:04:08.035 say the economy isn't working for us. Six out of 0:04:08.035 --> 0:04:10.475 ten of us are pessimistic about the year ahead. He's 0:04:10.515 --> 0:04:15.075 even lost five percent of Republican approval in just the 0:04:15.195 --> 0:04:22.635 last month, Trump is drowning. They did not ask about 0:04:22.675 --> 0:04:27.795 the Trump Memorial ballroom and ego storage airplane hangar, which 0:04:27.835 --> 0:04:31.155 he first said would cost only one hundred million, Then 0:04:31.195 --> 0:04:34.195 it was two hundred, then two hundred and fifty, all 0:04:34.235 --> 0:04:37.915 of it paid by donors, then three hundred then Tuesday night, 0:04:38.035 --> 0:04:41.435 four hundred million dollars. And he can't believe he was 0:04:41.475 --> 0:04:44.515 sued over it. I mean, it's only four hundred million dollars. 0:04:45.075 --> 0:04:48.355 And oh, by the way, it opens in late twenty 0:04:48.395 --> 0:04:52.035 twenty eight, and I hope the new president immediately tears 0:04:52.075 --> 0:04:56.115 it down put that on pay per view. By the way, 0:04:56.155 --> 0:04:59.715 Trump says it will have five inch thick windows and 0:04:59.835 --> 0:05:05.355 be totally impenetrable, five inch thick and totally triple Hey, 0:05:05.475 --> 0:05:10.675 just like Trump. Last indication of Trump drowning, then we'll 0:05:10.675 --> 0:05:14.035 figure out why Susie wils just ended the prosecutions of 0:05:14.315 --> 0:05:17.835 Jack Smith and James Comey and James and the others. 0:05:18.275 --> 0:05:22.395 The last indication of Trump drowning is a sports story. 0:05:23.435 --> 0:05:26.515 I don't particularly like the former New York radio host 0:05:26.635 --> 0:05:30.795 Mike Francesa. This goes back to only nineteen eighty nine. 0:05:30.955 --> 0:05:34.475 I don't respect him, but I do respect his sources 0:05:34.715 --> 0:05:37.995 and on his podcast, he told tales of the collapse 0:05:38.075 --> 0:05:40.675 of the twenty twenty five New York Mets, and he 0:05:40.715 --> 0:05:44.155 gave insight into what happened to send them plummeting from 0:05:44.235 --> 0:05:47.635 five games up with nearly twice as many wins as 0:05:47.715 --> 0:05:51.635 losses in the middle of June to thirteen games out 0:05:51.675 --> 0:05:53.755 at the end of the season, and the team's top 0:05:53.795 --> 0:05:56.475 two stars being allowed to walk away by a free 0:05:56.515 --> 0:06:00.635 agency last week, and popular outfielder Brandon Nimo being traded 0:06:00.675 --> 0:06:04.555 to Texas for an aging infielder. According to Frances's Go, 0:06:05.355 --> 0:06:10.155 Neimo and star shortstop Francisco Lindor had a problem in 0:06:10.195 --> 0:06:14.435 the clubhouse. This is explained by Frances's source and the 0:06:14.555 --> 0:06:19.995 source I'm sorry, Francessa pronounces it sauce. The sauce says 0:06:20.035 --> 0:06:23.995 the problem was that one of them liked Trump and 0:06:24.155 --> 0:06:30.875 the other didn't like Trump. HM. Brandon Neimo is from Chyenne, 0:06:30.995 --> 0:06:36.355 Wyoming and Francisco Lindor is from Caguas in Puerto Rico. 0:06:36.795 --> 0:06:39.915 I wonder if we can figure this mystery out. Trump 0:06:40.315 --> 0:06:44.315 broke up the Mets. Actually, that might be his only 0:06:44.315 --> 0:07:04.675 significant accomplishment of his first term. I'd like to congratulate 0:07:04.835 --> 0:07:08.755 Susie Wiles on single handedly ending the just forming prosecution 0:07:08.875 --> 0:07:12.355 of Jack Smith, and the vowed prosecution of Anthony Fauci, 0:07:12.635 --> 0:07:16.555 and the already moribund prosecutions of James Comy and Letitia 0:07:16.675 --> 0:07:22.595 James and Adam Schiff, and all those cases will be 0:07:22.795 --> 0:07:27.035 thrown out of court, all of them because Susie Wiles 0:07:27.195 --> 0:07:31.635 is on tape saying quote, I don't think he Trump 0:07:31.915 --> 0:07:35.395 wakes up thinking about retribution, but when there's an opportunity, 0:07:35.595 --> 0:07:39.435 he will go for it. And about Comy specifically, quote, 0:07:39.595 --> 0:07:43.475 I mean people could think it does look vindictive. I 0:07:43.675 --> 0:07:47.675 can't tell you why you shouldn't think that, unquote Trump's 0:07:47.875 --> 0:07:51.235 chief of staff, current chief of staff, not ex chief 0:07:51.275 --> 0:07:54.515 of staff, not off the record, not through sources, not 0:07:54.635 --> 0:07:56.955 in a biography that comes out in the year twenty 0:07:57.035 --> 0:08:02.755 thirty four, confirming its retribution, and it's on tape, and 0:08:03.035 --> 0:08:10.435 on tape. Retribution means selective prosecution, and selective prosecution is illegal, 0:08:10.795 --> 0:08:12.995 and you not only get the case thrown out. If 0:08:13.035 --> 0:08:16.075 you've had to defend yourself and spend money, or your 0:08:16.155 --> 0:08:20.555 reputation has been hurt, you can sue the government and 0:08:20.635 --> 0:08:25.075 the prosecutors and it's on tape. And what Wiles said 0:08:25.515 --> 0:08:30.395 to Chief of Staff historian Chris Whipple about retribution, did 0:08:30.435 --> 0:08:33.195 I mention it's on tape? May also be enough for 0:08:33.315 --> 0:08:37.115 people who've merely been fired or threatened by Trump to 0:08:37.235 --> 0:08:41.395 demand a court stop him and restore them to their jobs, 0:08:41.675 --> 0:08:44.395 or get damages out of him or his government, or 0:08:44.475 --> 0:08:48.475 completely shut down his government by Vendetta and its efforts 0:08:48.475 --> 0:08:52.355 against them. That's four hundred and sixty five other Trump 0:08:52.475 --> 0:08:57.035 victims this year alone, everybody from Jerome Powell to Jimmy Kimmel, 0:08:57.515 --> 0:08:59.435 all of whom may now have some kind of legal 0:08:59.515 --> 0:09:04.395 case against Trump and his drowning arguments because Pat Summerle's 0:09:04.435 --> 0:09:08.195 daw couldn't keep her big bazoo shut and just let 0:09:08.275 --> 0:09:13.475 John Madden's child do all the talking. And if this 0:09:13.715 --> 0:09:16.715 was not enough for the four hundred and seventy victims 0:09:16.715 --> 0:09:20.315 counted by Reuters to sue or get their cases dismissed, 0:09:20.835 --> 0:09:24.675 or to bury Trump's minions for selective prosecution and damages, 0:09:25.235 --> 0:09:28.595 Wiles actually somehow made it worse. She not only confirmed 0:09:29.035 --> 0:09:33.915 on tape that Trump was quote score settling, but also 0:09:33.995 --> 0:09:36.515 that she got him to agree to a loose agreement 0:09:36.555 --> 0:09:39.875 to stop it after his first ninety days in office, 0:09:39.915 --> 0:09:43.155 and also also that Trump renegged on that that is 0:09:43.235 --> 0:09:47.275 called guilty fore knowledge. She knew it was wrong, and 0:09:47.355 --> 0:09:50.595 Trump having agreed to limit it means he knew it 0:09:50.675 --> 0:09:54.435 was wrong. And now you're looking at potential criminal charges 0:09:54.475 --> 0:09:58.075 for everybody who tried to enact vengeance for their Dracula 0:09:58.195 --> 0:10:01.675 in the White House. Have fun in prison, Alina Haba, 0:10:01.755 --> 0:10:05.115 good luck getting your hair done there, Lindsey Halligan in 0:10:05.555 --> 0:10:14.035 the Big House. Thanks Susie Wiles. It's on tape as 0:10:14.075 --> 0:10:16.835 we begin the third consecutive day that Trump will have 0:10:16.915 --> 0:10:20.755 shocked even those numbed him by now by not again 0:10:21.355 --> 0:10:25.875 firing Susie Wiles. The more important issue behind this may 0:10:25.915 --> 0:10:29.755 be why she thought she could get away with talking 0:10:29.875 --> 0:10:34.235 to this man. She told mister Whipple for Vanity Fair, 0:10:34.595 --> 0:10:38.315 not only that Trump has quote an alcoholics personality, but 0:10:38.355 --> 0:10:40.955 that she's seen the Epstein files and when Trump said 0:10:40.955 --> 0:10:44.955 there was evidence Bill Clinton visited Epstein Island, he was 0:10:45.035 --> 0:10:48.715 not telling the truth. She also insists she tried to 0:10:48.755 --> 0:10:51.955 convince Trump not to pardon the most violent insurrectionists of 0:10:52.075 --> 0:10:58.115 January sixth, insisted the deportations needed more work to prevent mistakes, 0:10:58.435 --> 0:11:01.235 and said there was an attempt to delay the tariff 0:11:01.315 --> 0:11:05.355 con job my words, because his advisors had a quote 0:11:05.675 --> 0:11:10.395 huge disagreement over tariffs, and if you missed it, she 0:11:10.635 --> 0:11:14.995 leveled far more than just Trump. Wiles dismissed JB. Vance 0:11:15.635 --> 0:11:19.115 as having quote been a conspiracy theorist for a decade 0:11:19.355 --> 0:11:22.115 whose reasons were going from seeing Trump for what he 0:11:22.235 --> 0:11:26.155 is to horring himself for him. Those reasons were not 0:11:26.275 --> 0:11:30.835 principled but quote sort of political. Wiles says, when Attorney 0:11:30.835 --> 0:11:34.435 General TIMU Blondie was given the Epstein files to handle, 0:11:34.515 --> 0:11:37.835 she quote completely whiffed, and that the budget director in 0:11:37.915 --> 0:11:41.995 twenty twenty five, reichsch Marshall Russell Vote is quote a 0:11:42.155 --> 0:11:46.395 right wing absolute zealot. Couldn't tell that from Project twenty 0:11:46.395 --> 0:11:50.315 twenty five, which he largely wrote, could you. And to Wiles, 0:11:50.315 --> 0:11:55.715 Elon Musk is quote an avowed ketamine user whose actions 0:11:55.755 --> 0:11:59.675 often leave her quote aghast and are not always quote rational, 0:11:59.915 --> 0:12:06.035 and who often tweets quote when he's micro dosing. Susie Wiles, 0:12:06.435 --> 0:12:11.475 you have unsuspected depth. Okay, why does she think she'll 0:12:11.475 --> 0:12:14.515 get away with it? First off, she immediately issued a 0:12:14.595 --> 0:12:17.515 non denial denial that she turned into lies about the 0:12:17.515 --> 0:12:22.115 Trump administration succeeding when it is repeatedly and spectacularly drowning, 0:12:22.395 --> 0:12:26.435 hitting icebergs, blowing up over New Jersey and detonating like 0:12:26.475 --> 0:12:32.315 a SpaceX musk rocket, already accomplished leadership and vision of Trump, 0:12:32.395 --> 0:12:37.355 relentless persuative blah blah blah blah blah. Not one quote denied, 0:12:37.515 --> 0:12:42.795 not one, Just the typical context was disregarded. Okay, Susie, 0:12:42.915 --> 0:12:44.995 what the hell is the context when you say Trump 0:12:44.995 --> 0:12:47.795 has the personality of an alcoholic and you know that 0:12:47.915 --> 0:12:53.435 because your father was an alcoholic, so damage control must 0:12:53.475 --> 0:12:56.315 have always been her fallback. But why put herself in 0:12:56.395 --> 0:12:59.475 that position in the first place. I mean, Vance and 0:12:59.555 --> 0:13:04.875 Marco Rubio and Caroline Levitt and Stephen Miller all poss 0:13:05.115 --> 0:13:10.315 and so did Wiles for vanity photographs. In Vanity Fair, Happily, 0:13:10.835 --> 0:13:15.595 no sketch artists drew any of them nude. But for 0:13:15.675 --> 0:13:19.075 the other four, especially the evil Miller and the hapless Rubio, 0:13:19.155 --> 0:13:22.835 this was the chance to obtain the first presentable photographs 0:13:22.835 --> 0:13:26.515 of themselves in their lives. But Wiles doesn't care about that. 0:13:26.715 --> 0:13:29.755 She's not in it for fame. She's the daughter of 0:13:29.955 --> 0:13:33.195 Pat summer All, the sportscaster, the longtime partner of John Madden, 0:13:33.795 --> 0:13:37.155 and from him she not only knew the carcinogenic personality 0:13:37.195 --> 0:13:40.235 effects fame threatens you with, but she also learned the 0:13:40.235 --> 0:13:42.635 hard way how to make a judgment on Trump like 0:13:42.715 --> 0:13:47.155 that most searing one. But Trump has an alcoholics personality. 0:13:47.315 --> 0:13:51.995 Her dad was one, quoting her again, high functioning alcoholics 0:13:52.075 --> 0:13:56.395 or alcoholics in general, their personalities are exaggerated when they drink. 0:13:56.635 --> 0:13:58.635 And so I'm a little bit of an expert in 0:13:58.675 --> 0:14:02.795 big personalities. Trump doesn't drink, but acts like he does 0:14:03.035 --> 0:14:07.355 the alcoholics personality, complete with again quoting a view that 0:14:07.395 --> 0:14:14.755 there's nothing he can't do, nothing, zero, nothing. So she's 0:14:14.915 --> 0:14:19.475 not doing it to make herself the Susie Wiles. Don't 0:14:19.515 --> 0:14:21.875 get me wrong, she's one of the lead villains. She's 0:14:21.915 --> 0:14:24.515 on the list of Trump enablers. I hope they've all 0:14:24.515 --> 0:14:26.795 broken the law so they can all be prosecuted later, 0:14:26.875 --> 0:14:30.155 especially at the state level. Her beliefs are repugnant, her 0:14:30.195 --> 0:14:34.435 goals more so. But this isn't jd Vance political prostitute, 0:14:34.595 --> 0:14:39.155 and this int somebody as amazingly unqualified as Patel or Bongino, 0:14:39.355 --> 0:14:43.435 or Duffy or Bondi, or as incredibly stupid as carol 0:14:43.515 --> 0:14:48.835 Ion Levitt. I assume that concept of her own status 0:14:48.915 --> 0:14:52.315 could be at the core of her tea spilling over 0:14:52.355 --> 0:14:57.235 the course of eleven interviews on tape. She believes herself 0:14:57.595 --> 0:15:00.635 to be above these purely political frontmen who want the 0:15:00.675 --> 0:15:04.315 power and the glory and the glam shots in Vanity Fair. 0:15:05.115 --> 0:15:07.995 This may convey to her his false sense of security, 0:15:08.075 --> 0:15:12.835 or it may have or she may have been confident 0:15:12.875 --> 0:15:16.435 because he already excommunicated her once and then brought her back, 0:15:17.435 --> 0:15:20.435 Or bluntly, she may have inherited more from her father 0:15:20.515 --> 0:15:23.395 than his six sinctness. Asked by The Times about her 0:15:23.395 --> 0:15:26.515 comment on musk and ketamine, she said, quote, that's ridiculous. 0:15:26.555 --> 0:15:28.995 I wouldn't have said it, and I wouldn't know. Whereupon 0:15:29.115 --> 0:15:32.435 Vanity Fair played a tape of the interview and Wiles 0:15:32.435 --> 0:15:35.995 said every word of it. So maybe she was micro 0:15:36.275 --> 0:15:40.555 something her own self. Lord knows your father did, But 0:15:40.635 --> 0:15:44.915 I think it's likeliest that Susie Wiles, like many in 0:15:44.955 --> 0:15:48.155 this White House, figured she could get away with this 0:15:48.275 --> 0:15:53.315 because they are beginning to write Trump off because he 0:15:53.555 --> 0:15:57.395 is drowning not only because it's nearly twenty twenty six 0:15:57.435 --> 0:15:59.755 and at best his shelf life is three years and 0:15:59.795 --> 0:16:02.635 a month from now. And she insisted not even Trump 0:16:02.715 --> 0:16:05.235 is serious about illegally running again or staying in office, 0:16:05.355 --> 0:16:08.955 that he just says it to enrage opponents. It's not 0:16:09.195 --> 0:16:11.355 just that the tic tick tick tick tick in the 0:16:11.395 --> 0:16:14.435 Oval gets louder every day. It's that she's got to 0:16:14.515 --> 0:16:18.995 believe Trump will never actually see the article in Vanity Fair, 0:16:19.595 --> 0:16:23.315 or never actually see the actual quotes from it. We'll 0:16:23.355 --> 0:16:26.755 never read her say he's got, you know, the personality 0:16:26.795 --> 0:16:29.795 of an alcoholic, even though he supposedly agreed with her 0:16:29.835 --> 0:16:33.155 on that, or will never understand those quotes, because if 0:16:33.195 --> 0:16:37.195 anybody knows Trump's brain is fading to black, it would 0:16:37.235 --> 0:16:42.235 have to be as chief of Staff Susie Wiles. Or 0:16:42.595 --> 0:16:45.795 she thinks Trump will see them and somehow will understand them, 0:16:45.995 --> 0:16:49.755 and then suddenly he will make her an ambassador to 0:16:49.915 --> 0:17:00.995 someplace warm. And now to the tipping point of this 0:17:01.075 --> 0:17:04.875 remarkable week, the moment the water began to rise around Trump. 0:17:05.555 --> 0:17:09.435 The Rob Reiner post, I hope you heard my bulletin 0:17:09.515 --> 0:17:13.955 on this Monday afternoon. It was my favorite philosopher the 0:17:14.035 --> 0:17:18.475 second century Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, out there trying to 0:17:18.595 --> 0:17:22.515 rule the decaying empire from deep in the woods of Germany, 0:17:23.395 --> 0:17:27.275 who wrote in what amounted to his diary, you always 0:17:27.435 --> 0:17:32.035 own the option of having no opinion. There is never 0:17:32.155 --> 0:17:34.835 any need to get worked up or to trouble your 0:17:34.875 --> 0:17:37.955 soul about things you can't control. These things are not 0:17:38.195 --> 0:17:44.755 asking to be judged by you leave them alone. It's 0:17:44.795 --> 0:17:49.795 hard to do that, I'm example a but it's harder 0:17:49.835 --> 0:17:53.035 to do that if, like Trump, you've never even heard 0:17:53.115 --> 0:17:57.275 of Marcus Aurelius. It was kind of encouraging to see 0:17:57.275 --> 0:17:59.795 how many of his sheep were still appalled by what 0:17:59.835 --> 0:18:02.395 Trump wrote. But there are always a few of the 0:18:02.435 --> 0:18:05.235 dumber ones who had to find a way to also 0:18:05.315 --> 0:18:09.755 ignore Marcus Aurelius and in shitify themselves trying to rationalize 0:18:09.795 --> 0:18:16.515 Trump's irrationality, Like who else Laura Lumer. Rob Reiner was 0:18:16.595 --> 0:18:19.555 a loser, Naturally, his son was also a loser, and 0:18:19.595 --> 0:18:22.315 he got addicted to drugs and allegedly murdered his parents. 0:18:22.675 --> 0:18:25.235 Looks like Rob should have spent more time parenting and 0:18:25.315 --> 0:18:29.315 less time spreading Russia conspiracy hoaxes about President Trump. I 0:18:29.435 --> 0:18:33.595 stand with President Trump, and of course she puts the 0:18:33.755 --> 0:18:38.595 chef's kick on this or kiss and says that this 0:18:38.875 --> 0:18:42.555 is a legitimate tweet Rob Reiner. Until Trump goes to prison, 0:18:42.555 --> 0:18:44.595 I will no longer be posting on Twitter. I have 0:18:44.675 --> 0:18:47.075 had it with the insults and put downs f all 0:18:47.115 --> 0:18:50.995 of you maga assholes. It's of course a fake tweet. 0:18:51.915 --> 0:18:54.635 Everybody knows it's a fake tweet. It doesn't look like 0:18:54.675 --> 0:18:57.435 a real tweet. It's been identified as a fake tweet. 0:18:57.675 --> 0:19:01.195 It's also dated January twentieth, twenty twenty three. And by 0:19:01.235 --> 0:19:03.435 the way, for me, that would be like a B 0:19:03.675 --> 0:19:07.955 minus in terms of number of obscenities used about Trump. 0:19:09.435 --> 0:19:12.115 The Reiner tweet was, of course a fake, just like 0:19:12.195 --> 0:19:15.915 Laura Lumer's face. By the way, Trump announced on social 0:19:15.955 --> 0:19:23.875 media that Laura Lumer is engaged engaged in what exactly? Then, 0:19:23.915 --> 0:19:27.115 of course, there were reminders that creatures like Laura Lumer 0:19:27.155 --> 0:19:33.435 aren't quite human. Those were preceded by the premature jocularity. 0:19:34.235 --> 0:19:38.355 The night before Trump disqualified himself from being president again, 0:19:38.835 --> 0:19:44.435 the right was completely holier than thou again, Jack Posobic. 0:19:45.275 --> 0:19:48.355 You won't see people on the right celebrating the horrific 0:19:48.435 --> 0:19:51.235 murder of Rob Reiner and his wife compare to the 0:19:51.355 --> 0:19:55.555 left's reaction to Charlie Kirk's murder. Eleven twenty eight PM 0:19:55.635 --> 0:20:00.155 Sunday night, Bret Weinstein noticed that the American right is 0:20:00.195 --> 0:20:03.955 not celebrating Rob Reiner's murder. I see post after post 0:20:04.155 --> 0:20:07.555 honoring his remarkable contribution to our culture, despite his strident 0:20:07.635 --> 0:20:11.355 embraceive progressive lunacy in his later years. This is America 0:20:11.355 --> 0:20:14.475 displaying our common humanity. May his memory and his remarkable 0:20:14.515 --> 0:20:17.115 body of work be a blessing to us All twelve 0:20:17.195 --> 0:20:21.555 fifty nine am Monday, very nice. And then Trump celebrated 0:20:21.635 --> 0:20:25.115 Rob Reiner's murder, so no matter who on his side 0:20:25.395 --> 0:20:30.915 did not, the lead guy did. As Lumer suggested, Trump's 0:20:30.955 --> 0:20:35.675 disgusting touchdown dance on my friend Rob's grave and his 0:20:35.715 --> 0:20:39.155 wife's grave, and Lumer and the even dumber versions of 0:20:39.235 --> 0:20:43.315 lumour needing something anything to try to justify what Trump did. 0:20:44.435 --> 0:20:47.915 I even saw them use screen caps of one of 0:20:47.995 --> 0:20:52.275 my tweets, particularly the one that read burn in hell 0:20:52.435 --> 0:20:57.715 Sinclair next to Charlie Kirk. This was after Sinclair Broadcasting 0:20:57.915 --> 0:21:01.115 tried to get Jimmy Kimmel fired because he didn't pretend 0:21:01.315 --> 0:21:05.475 Charlie Kirk was Jesus Christ while consoling the family and 0:21:05.555 --> 0:21:09.435 condemning the killing anyway, and they wanted Kimmel not only 0:21:09.515 --> 0:21:12.515 to lose his job, but also to pay a bribe 0:21:12.875 --> 0:21:17.915 to some kind of Charlie Kirk memorial sainwashing fund. I'll 0:21:17.915 --> 0:21:22.075 say it again. The killing of Charlie Kirk was indefensible. Then, 0:21:22.595 --> 0:21:26.635 It is indefensible now, it will be indefensible later. The 0:21:26.755 --> 0:21:31.155 killing of political commentators is indefensible. I believe this firmly. 0:21:31.395 --> 0:21:33.715 I may believe it more than you do, since I'm 0:21:33.995 --> 0:21:37.715 a political commentator. But you know what else is indefensible. 0:21:38.035 --> 0:21:41.915 Charlie Kirk and his cult of hatred and violent fantasies 0:21:42.035 --> 0:21:45.755 and racism and complete disregard for anybody who wasn't exactly 0:21:45.995 --> 0:21:50.795 like him. He called for public executions and to force 0:21:50.995 --> 0:21:55.875 kids to watch them. I'm sorry if the people who 0:21:55.915 --> 0:21:59.995 thought they knew him never actually read the Bible. It's 0:22:00.075 --> 0:22:05.795 clear in page after page that the evil, those who 0:22:05.875 --> 0:22:11.075 are evil like Charlie Kirk are going to hell. Sorry, 0:22:12.315 --> 0:22:17.315 unless you right wingers are saying the Bible isn't literally correct. Also, 0:22:17.435 --> 0:22:20.275 how are you comparing Charlie Kirk, who contributed nothing to 0:22:20.315 --> 0:22:25.475 this country, to Rob Reiner. But I've got a worse cop, 0:22:25.555 --> 0:22:27.715 even bigger than that. When the far right goes and 0:22:27.755 --> 0:22:30.315 says it's all right for Trump to have celebrated Rob 0:22:30.395 --> 0:22:33.715 Reiner's murder because I said Charlie Kirk was going to hell. 0:22:34.755 --> 0:22:41.515 So my comments and Trump's comments are of equal importance. 0:22:41.795 --> 0:22:48.195 Somehow I carry the same influence as the President of 0:22:48.195 --> 0:22:51.275 the United States. I am in some way as important 0:22:51.315 --> 0:22:57.315 as him. I suddenly begin to suspect that I am underpaid. 0:23:06.315 --> 0:23:09.475 Also of interest here, Laura Ingram doesn't know what country 0:23:09.555 --> 0:23:13.755 Canada is. No, I'm not kidding. And just when I 0:23:13.795 --> 0:23:16.915 thought the pecking order had become clear of which of 0:23:16.955 --> 0:23:20.675 my exes was the most self destructive, Laura is moving 0:23:20.715 --> 0:23:24.755 swiftly round the clubhouse, turn and down the stretch. They come. 0:23:25.875 --> 0:23:33.555 That's next. This is Countdown. This is Countdown, with Keith 0:23:33.635 --> 0:24:12.235 Olberman still ahead. On this edition of Countdown, I missed 0:24:12.235 --> 0:24:14.875 the exact anniversary, but just by a few days. It 0:24:14.995 --> 0:24:19.475 was this past Monday, this past Monday, the forty second 0:24:19.515 --> 0:24:24.435 anniversary of the morning I met and first interviewed Trump. 0:24:25.155 --> 0:24:28.315 He was almost exactly the same then, not really human 0:24:28.795 --> 0:24:32.115 and kind of drowning. The only difference we had yet 0:24:32.155 --> 0:24:35.915 to make the dumbest, most evil man on Earth president 0:24:36.555 --> 0:24:41.235 the day I met it. Next in things I promised 0:24:41.235 --> 0:24:43.995 not to tell first, Believe it or not, there's still 0:24:43.995 --> 0:24:46.835 more new idiots to talk about, the roundup of the miscreants, 0:24:46.875 --> 0:24:50.635 morons and Dunning Kruger effects specimens who constitute today's other 0:24:51.395 --> 0:24:57.835 worst persons in the world, the Bronze worse. If you're 0:24:57.915 --> 0:25:02.315 like me, you hate to see an X beginning to slip. No, 0:25:03.075 --> 0:25:10.595 not Katie, uh, not even Kirsten, No, not even Libby, Laura, 0:25:11.715 --> 0:25:15.435 Laura Ingram. Okay, So it was two dates, and one 0:25:15.435 --> 0:25:17.955 of them was really more of a hostage situation, which 0:25:18.075 --> 0:25:22.995 I was the hostage. Still, this gets posted on social 0:25:23.035 --> 0:25:27.795 media from somebody named Mark Nixon breaking doug Ford just 0:25:27.835 --> 0:25:31.035 announced billions in investment to turn Niagara Falls into the 0:25:31.115 --> 0:25:34.955 Las Vegas of the North, mega casinos, a new theme 0:25:35.115 --> 0:25:38.075 park and a plan to double tourism. And there is 0:25:38.115 --> 0:25:41.915 a picture of doug Ford at a podium announcing this, 0:25:42.515 --> 0:25:45.235 and there is all sorts of logos on the podium 0:25:45.275 --> 0:25:48.795 indicating who doug Ford is in case you don't know, 0:25:49.315 --> 0:25:55.795 And Laura retweets this, adding gambling. Ug we need manufacturing, 0:25:56.115 --> 0:26:02.355 not this. We need manufacturing, not this. Laura doug Ford 0:26:02.475 --> 0:26:09.475 is the premiere of On Tear Ontario, which is in Canada, 0:26:10.195 --> 0:26:14.515 which is a different country than ours, Unless Laura, you 0:26:14.675 --> 0:26:19.595 think Trump annexed it using only his superior mind. Your 0:26:19.635 --> 0:26:22.915 first hint should have been the podium at which doug 0:26:22.995 --> 0:26:25.795 Ford is shown speaking in the video, The podium that 0:26:25.875 --> 0:26:29.395 literally has a sign on it that says protect Ontario 0:26:30.155 --> 0:26:37.075 in two different languages, protege Ontario, which is French, which 0:26:37.115 --> 0:26:41.515 is a different language than you speak. Then again, half 0:26:41.555 --> 0:26:45.155 the time English is a different language than Laura speaks. 0:26:46.155 --> 0:26:49.355 My god. The runner up worser New York City councilwoman 0:26:49.475 --> 0:26:53.875 Vicki Palladino. She's the drama queen from Queens on the 0:26:53.875 --> 0:26:57.995 Brown University shootings, whereas these nightmares are more cynically known, 0:26:58.275 --> 0:27:01.115 the latest chance for magas, on top of everything else, 0:27:01.115 --> 0:27:05.835 to make fools of themselves, she writes Clia. Now that 0:27:05.875 --> 0:27:09.475 the attack at Brown was poipetrated by a leftist activist 0:27:09.715 --> 0:27:14.395 and targeted Republicans, the people who openly celebrated Charlie KOs 0:27:14.475 --> 0:27:20.355 mighta enmass and faced exactly zero social illegal consequences for 0:27:20.555 --> 0:27:26.915 it have been emboldened to killmaw Conservatives. Vicki Palladino actually 0:27:26.955 --> 0:27:32.355 elected by idiots in Queens. The vice president of Brown 0:27:32.475 --> 0:27:36.475 University's Republican Club, a student named Ella Cook, was one 0:27:36.555 --> 0:27:39.995 of two killed, and I mourn what happened to her 0:27:40.195 --> 0:27:44.115 and grieve for her family. The other fatality was a 0:27:44.155 --> 0:27:48.555 student from Uzbekistan who did not appear to be a Republican. 0:27:48.955 --> 0:27:51.715 Among the eleven who were injured in the shooting, there's 0:27:51.755 --> 0:27:55.275 no official list, but lots of local news reports around 0:27:55.315 --> 0:27:59.115 the country about this high school's graduate who was shot 0:27:59.315 --> 0:28:02.755 and this high school's graduate who was nearly shot, and 0:28:02.795 --> 0:28:06.515 they indicated that all the others were, you know, students 0:28:06.995 --> 0:28:11.115 in a Brown University Saturday prep class for an economics final. 0:28:11.595 --> 0:28:13.955 One of the kids was a freshman who manages the 0:28:13.955 --> 0:28:17.835 women's volleyball team, which, incidentally, if I ever have a 0:28:17.915 --> 0:28:20.515 second life, I'm going to have the presence of mind 0:28:20.715 --> 0:28:23.155 to try to do that as the freshman to be 0:28:23.715 --> 0:28:27.475 the manager of the women's volleyball team. Great idea, kid, 0:28:27.555 --> 0:28:31.235 I'm hoping you're back in play real soon. Another of 0:28:31.235 --> 0:28:34.315 the victims was just an engineering major who got stuck 0:28:34.355 --> 0:28:37.155 taking an economics class. There does not seem to have 0:28:37.195 --> 0:28:40.435 been another politically active victim, but you can't tell them 0:28:40.435 --> 0:28:44.555 that to somebody like this idiot Palldino. Very clear now 0:28:44.755 --> 0:28:48.555 it was quite petrated by a leftist activist and targeted Republicans. 0:28:49.155 --> 0:28:50.995 And I'm sorry, I can't get you a deep enough 0:28:51.075 --> 0:28:53.715 voice to really give you an indication of how she sounds. 0:28:54.715 --> 0:28:57.235 And she thinks that way because she has lost the plot, 0:28:57.875 --> 0:29:00.635 the plot of life. If there was one victim who 0:29:00.675 --> 0:29:03.875
