WEBVTT - WHILE HE'S HERE, LET'S ARREST PUTIN - 8.11.25 0:00:04.795 --> 0:00:25.555 Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. While 0:00:25.675 --> 0:00:31.635 he's here, you know what, Let's arrest Putin. There's an 0:00:31.715 --> 0:00:35.435 arrest warrant for him from the International Criminal Court. Sure 0:00:35.435 --> 0:00:38.995 we're not a member country, because well, Trump and his 0:00:39.275 --> 0:00:44.395 co conspirator Dictatorship are criminals. That would be awkward. And 0:00:44.435 --> 0:00:46.635 whether you want to call it collusion or conspiracy or 0:00:46.675 --> 0:00:51.115 simple ownership, Putin still runs Trump. But while he's here, 0:00:51.235 --> 0:00:55.675 let's arrest Vladimir Putin. The one and twenty five member 0:00:55.755 --> 0:00:58.875 states of the International Criminal Court have been looking to 0:00:58.915 --> 0:01:03.595 put Putin away, most recently for kidnapping thousands of Ukrainian 0:01:03.715 --> 0:01:07.235 children and forcing them to speak Russian and pretending they 0:01:07.235 --> 0:01:10.995 are without homes or they've been abandoned or their refugees 0:01:11.195 --> 0:01:14.195 literally the sick joke about killing the parents and then 0:01:14.275 --> 0:01:17.835 claiming what's left over is orphans. The one hundred and 0:01:17.835 --> 0:01:20.355 twenty five member states that have a series of arrest 0:01:20.395 --> 0:01:24.195 warrants for Russia's monsters for all kinds of war crimes 0:01:24.195 --> 0:01:30.475 in Ukraine include the rest of our continent, Canada, and Mexico. 0:01:32.395 --> 0:01:34.795 I mean, it's not gonna happen, but it sure would 0:01:34.795 --> 0:01:37.795 be nice to see the Canadian military move across its 0:01:37.835 --> 0:01:42.435 border into Alaska and take Putin. Who knows, maybe Vladimir 0:01:42.515 --> 0:01:45.795 would hide behind Trump is a human shield. You have 0:01:45.835 --> 0:01:52.395 to admit Trump would make a giant double XL human shield. Finally, 0:01:52.435 --> 0:01:58.835 something useful. Of course, Trump is already a giant double 0:01:58.875 --> 0:02:03.675 excel human shield for Putin. Figuratively, you will recall it 0:02:03.715 --> 0:02:06.395 was Trump who did nothing as Putin and Russia became 0:02:06.555 --> 0:02:11.115 ensconced in Crimea and the don Bas. During Trump's first junta. 0:02:11.555 --> 0:02:15.835 You will recall Trump's asinine campaign promise to settle Russia's 0:02:15.835 --> 0:02:20.115 invasion of Ukraine in one day. I believe we're at 0:02:20.155 --> 0:02:24.755 two hundred and four different one days since since seizing 0:02:24.835 --> 0:02:28.835 power again, Trump has given Putin two weeks to observe 0:02:28.875 --> 0:02:31.995 a ceasefire. When Putin ignored that, Trump gave him another 0:02:32.035 --> 0:02:35.275 two weeks. Then he said he was disappointed in Putin. 0:02:35.595 --> 0:02:38.195 Then he gave him fifty more days. Then he said 0:02:38.195 --> 0:02:40.075 he wondered if Putin was lying to him or what 0:02:40.075 --> 0:02:42.915 had happened to Putin. Then he gave him ten days. 0:02:43.315 --> 0:02:46.195 Then when those ten days ran out, he offered to 0:02:46.355 --> 0:02:50.875 meet with Putin. Not Putin, and Zelenski just Putin, and 0:02:50.915 --> 0:02:53.755 when the small problem of where to meet came up, 0:02:53.955 --> 0:02:56.275 Putin would be arrested in nearly all of those one 0:02:56.355 --> 0:03:04.875 hundred and twenty five ICC member nations. Trump volunteered our house, Alaska. 0:03:06.235 --> 0:03:10.275 This asshole lies to Trump about Ukraine five times that 0:03:10.315 --> 0:03:15.115 we know of, and Trump responds by inviting this butcher. 0:03:15.515 --> 0:03:22.755 This would be Stalin into our country unless you brought 0:03:22.835 --> 0:03:26.315 him here to drop twenty tons of shit on his head. 0:03:27.195 --> 0:03:35.595 Fu Trump. Also, Trump's special envoy dealing with Russia is 0:03:35.715 --> 0:03:41.315 either a moron or deliberately stalling for Putin, or both. 0:03:42.275 --> 0:03:46.275 This is that clown Witkof, not that clown Lutnik or 0:03:46.315 --> 0:03:50.355 that clown Huckabee or that clown Kellogg or that clown Vance. 0:03:51.595 --> 0:03:55.715 The German news outlet Build reports that Witkof is such 0:03:55.755 --> 0:03:59.755 a nitwit that, when he met with Putin, demanded as 0:03:59.835 --> 0:04:04.435 a starting point for any ceasefire negotiations the starting point 0:04:04.835 --> 0:04:10.315 that Ukrainian forces be withdrawn from those parts of Ukraine 0:04:10.395 --> 0:04:16.035 Putin falsely claims are his. Witkoff promptly decided that what 0:04:16.075 --> 0:04:20.115 Putin had said was he was offering to withdraw Russian 0:04:20.195 --> 0:04:26.115 forces from those parts of Ukraine. Honest to God life 0:04:26.155 --> 0:04:29.635 in prison. I thought you said life out of prison. 0:04:32.555 --> 0:04:35.395 The Wall Street Journal has since confirmed this German report. 0:04:35.435 --> 0:04:37.555 In fact, Whitkof has now told at least three different 0:04:37.675 --> 0:04:41.995 versions of the phony Ukraine peace deal from Russia, one 0:04:42.475 --> 0:04:46.075 or two or all three of which are the nonsensical 0:04:46.115 --> 0:04:50.155 basis for inviting this scumbag Putin here to our country 0:04:50.475 --> 0:04:56.955 without a plan to detain him. Here's what Murdoch's paper wrote, quote. 0:04:57.035 --> 0:05:01.555 The European counterproposal concludes a week of frantic diplomacy triggered 0:05:01.555 --> 0:05:05.915 by Putin's overture to Whitkof. After the two men met 0:05:05.955 --> 0:05:09.715 at the Kremlin, Trump summoned a call with select European 0:05:09.795 --> 0:05:13.835 leaders and Zelensky to brief them on the proposal. On 0:05:13.875 --> 0:05:17.595 the call, Trump suggested that Russia would be ready to 0:05:17.635 --> 0:05:22.995 withdraw from the southern region of Zapparizia and Kherson in 0:05:23.075 --> 0:05:30.035 exchange for full control of Dunnetsk. That's the first version. However, 0:05:30.355 --> 0:05:33.915 here comes the second version. Witkoff walked back that claim 0:05:33.995 --> 0:05:36.715 the next day in a call with the chief aids 0:05:36.835 --> 0:05:41.795 of European leaders, suggesting that Russia would both withdraw and 0:05:42.555 --> 0:05:48.475 freeze the front line. It's two different things. The third one. 0:05:48.675 --> 0:05:52.195 On Friday, European officials demanded a third call with WITCOF 0:05:52.435 --> 0:05:57.155 to clarify the growing confusion about what Putin actually proposed. 0:05:57.595 --> 0:06:01.275 In that call, WITCOF clearly stated that the only offer 0:06:01.315 --> 0:06:05.275 on the table was for Ukraine to withdraw unilaterally from 0:06:05.355 --> 0:06:13.435 Donetsk in exchange for a ceasefire. Vance, Rubio, and Kellogg 0:06:13.635 --> 0:06:16.995 attended some of the calls, which is of course the 0:06:17.035 --> 0:06:21.275 same thing as Vance, Rubio, and Kellogg not attending any 0:06:21.275 --> 0:06:24.715 of the calls. There are a lot of stupid people 0:06:24.755 --> 0:06:28.195 working with Donald Trump. He surrounds himself with the best 0:06:28.235 --> 0:06:30.515 of the stupid people. In fact, he looks for people 0:06:30.515 --> 0:06:34.915 who are stupider than he is. To paraphrase Rodney Dangerfield, 0:06:34.995 --> 0:06:37.155 if you want to look smart, surround yourself with a 0:06:37.155 --> 0:06:43.555 bunch of wit Coffs, Vance's, Rubios and Kellogg's. But whit 0:06:43.635 --> 0:06:50.795 Cooff may be the stupidest outstanding work. Trump a moron 0:06:51.235 --> 0:06:56.155 actually found to negotiate for him, to negotiate for us, 0:06:56.195 --> 0:07:02.115 theoretically to negotiate for Ukraine an even bigger moron. And 0:07:02.275 --> 0:07:07.235 based on this guy's moronity, we are admitting Putin to 0:07:07.355 --> 0:07:11.955 this country. Hey call that hitler guy see if he 0:07:11.995 --> 0:07:16.635 wants to come to By the way, Putin actually did 0:07:16.835 --> 0:07:21.395 offer a concession in these negotiations, not to Ukraine, not 0:07:21.555 --> 0:07:24.995 to achieve peace, but he offered a concession to Trump. 0:07:25.035 --> 0:07:31.075 And what is that concession to meet him in Alaska? 0:07:31.435 --> 0:07:37.235 To go to Alaska? Going to Alaska? Is the concession Alaska? 0:07:37.315 --> 0:07:40.835 Or is the Russians call it Russian America. That's the 0:07:41.035 --> 0:07:45.875 win he's giving to Trump to condescend to come to 0:07:45.995 --> 0:07:50.035 our country and not get arrested, because he knows Trump 0:07:50.315 --> 0:07:54.635 desperately needs something he can pretend is a win, a triumph, 0:07:54.755 --> 0:08:02.675 a deal statesmanship, something other than Epstein. So when this 0:08:02.795 --> 0:08:08.755 meeting happens and Putin pitches something like who knows Ukraine 0:08:08.875 --> 0:08:12.755 is just erase from all maps tomorrow? And Trump endorses it. 0:08:12.795 --> 0:08:17.555 Because Trump so desperately wants a Nobel Peace Prize, or, 0:08:17.635 --> 0:08:21.115 as Caroline Levitt calls it, the Nobel Peace Prize, Trump 0:08:21.155 --> 0:08:25.115 will endorse anything that might get a Nobel Peace Prize 0:08:25.115 --> 0:08:28.955 for him. When Trump endorses it and Zelenski rejects it, 0:08:28.995 --> 0:08:32.995 Trump will start hating Zelensky again and blaming him, because 0:08:32.995 --> 0:08:39.235 this is about Trump getting a prize he hosted Azerbaijan 0:08:39.315 --> 0:08:43.275 and Armenia last week because he wants a prize. He 0:08:43.315 --> 0:08:49.875 didn't know what an Azerbaijan is. He just wants a prize, 0:08:50.195 --> 0:08:53.835 a major prize, a major prize. Like the father in 0:08:53.875 --> 0:08:56.515 the movie A Christmas Story wanted a major prize. He 0:08:56.635 --> 0:09:00.275 just wants a major prize, a nice glowing mesh stocking 0:09:00.355 --> 0:09:09.955 leg lamp to put in his window, A noble leg prize. 0:09:10.915 --> 0:09:13.075 I take back what I said about arresting Putin while 0:09:13.075 --> 0:09:16.835 he's here. Arrest Putin and Trump and this buffoon witcoff 0:09:17.435 --> 0:09:46.675 own Caroline Levitt to the idiot. So the Vice president 0:09:46.875 --> 0:09:49.915 is covering up a secret conspiracy meeting that was held 0:09:50.555 --> 0:09:53.995 to cover up the secret conspiracy Trump cover up of 0:09:54.275 --> 0:10:00.835 Trump Stein got it? You will recall that somebody leaked 0:10:00.835 --> 0:10:04.275 that Advance was supposed to host Vance evidently taking a 0:10:04.315 --> 0:10:06.595 day off from his exhausting schedule of back to back 0:10:06.635 --> 0:10:10.635 to back vacations. Vance was supposed to host for dinner 0:10:11.155 --> 0:10:15.475 at the Vice President's residence last Wednesday. White House Chief 0:10:15.515 --> 0:10:20.395 of Staff Susie Wiles, Attorney General Blondie FBI director Keep 0:10:20.435 --> 0:10:23.555 Your Eye on the Ball Patel, and Deputy Attorney General 0:10:23.595 --> 0:10:29.755 Todd Blanche visibly to discuss the ongoing Trump Epstein crisis, 0:10:29.795 --> 0:10:33.195 specifically what to do with the tape and the transcript 0:10:33.235 --> 0:10:38.315 of Trump's first deal with Glaine Maxwell, where he flew 0:10:38.475 --> 0:10:41.475 Todd Blanche to her prison cell and Blanche gave her 0:10:41.475 --> 0:10:44.795 immunity for two days and then Presto chaninjo she wound 0:10:44.875 --> 0:10:48.075 up being moved from that prison cell to a club 0:10:48.235 --> 0:10:54.035 fed jail camp in Texas. Release the tape, burn the tape, 0:10:54.555 --> 0:10:58.555 claim the tape is missing a minute, do something about 0:10:58.555 --> 0:11:01.955 whatever crisis it presented, depending on whatever it was that 0:11:01.995 --> 0:11:06.075 Maxwell revealed about Trump or threatened with or whatever during 0:11:06.115 --> 0:11:10.635 that meeting. Vance and the others immediately denied there was 0:11:10.675 --> 0:11:14.515 such a meeting. It was fake news. It was they lied. 0:11:15.995 --> 0:11:18.195 It now turns out that to make it technically not 0:11:18.275 --> 0:11:21.115 a lie, they had the dinner all right with all 0:11:21.235 --> 0:11:23.875 those people and talked about Epstein. They just did not 0:11:23.995 --> 0:11:27.715 have it at the Vice President's residence at the Naval Observatory. 0:11:27.755 --> 0:11:31.515 They moved it to the White House. That way. When 0:11:31.595 --> 0:11:34.235 they said they sure as hell were not meeting about 0:11:34.235 --> 0:11:38.715 Epstein Advance's residents, they weren't lying. They were meeting about 0:11:38.715 --> 0:11:44.595 Epstein at Trump's residence. We still don't know what happened, 0:11:44.795 --> 0:11:47.675 except for the fact that the lead has been buried 0:11:47.715 --> 0:11:50.195 by those who broke that story, and then those who 0:11:50.195 --> 0:11:53.555 broke that story that the venue was changed, and by 0:11:53.595 --> 0:11:56.755 those few news organizations that have brought it up since 0:11:56.995 --> 0:12:02.955 the lead is why we're vance Wiles, Bondi, Patel, and 0:12:03.035 --> 0:12:09.635 Blanche meeting about Epstein, about Gallaine Maxwell without Trump being there? 0:12:11.235 --> 0:12:14.835 Where was Trump? Why would they meet about Epstein and 0:12:14.875 --> 0:12:19.475 not have Trump there? Because whether there's a picture of 0:12:19.515 --> 0:12:22.475 Trump on every page if the Epstein files, or there's 0:12:22.515 --> 0:12:25.755 literally sworn testimony in them from every victim saying Trump 0:12:25.835 --> 0:12:30.155 was not involved, the Trump conspiratorial mob's interest in the 0:12:30.155 --> 0:12:36.755 Epstein case is Trump period. So it wasn't like he 0:12:36.875 --> 0:12:43.515 wasn't there because he was golfing at Sunset. We are 0:12:43.555 --> 0:12:47.915 all left speculating. Seems to me pretty clear they needed 0:12:47.915 --> 0:12:53.195 to figure out what to do about Trump whenever whatever 0:12:53.355 --> 0:12:57.275 was in the files or whatever was in Maxwell's conversations 0:12:57.315 --> 0:13:00.515 with Blanche got out, or how to keep it from 0:13:00.595 --> 0:13:03.915 getting out, or how to keep Trump from finding out, 0:13:04.875 --> 0:13:07.715 or who to get in as the new president of 0:13:07.835 --> 0:13:10.195 what was in there about Trump was really really bad. 0:13:11.715 --> 0:13:15.195 I mean it's a cover up. It's obviously a cover up. 0:13:15.595 --> 0:13:19.235 That's not a conclusion. Trump keeps saying it's a cover up. 0:13:19.795 --> 0:13:22.715 He keeps saying he has to protect people who would 0:13:22.755 --> 0:13:28.675 be hurt by the truth. He meanders around that basic line. 0:13:28.675 --> 0:13:31.555 But that's what he's saying, again and again. We can't 0:13:31.595 --> 0:13:36.235 release it because innocent people may be hurt. Innocent meaning 0:13:36.515 --> 0:13:40.275 him and his relatives. That is the definition of a 0:13:40.395 --> 0:13:44.115 cover up. We have the information, we're not going to 0:13:44.195 --> 0:13:51.915 tell you. Cover up. Let's talk cover up. Make sure 0:13:51.955 --> 0:13:54.995 Trump is not there? Why not? Well, the cover up 0:13:55.075 --> 0:14:00.035 is about him. Happily, just as those of us still 0:14:00.075 --> 0:14:02.475 paying attention to Trump's steen were worrying that it might 0:14:02.515 --> 0:14:06.355 be losing steam as a news story, here comes JV. Vance, 0:14:06.835 --> 0:14:09.835 not on vacation for the second time in a week. 0:14:09.915 --> 0:14:14.075 What is there an asteroid about to hit the earth? JV. 0:14:14.275 --> 0:14:17.555 Vance goes on Maria Bartiromo's Sunday Fox Show. And by 0:14:17.555 --> 0:14:20.355 the way, he's wearing more makeup and eyeliner than she is, 0:14:21.275 --> 0:14:23.995 and she wears a lot. And how in the hell 0:14:23.995 --> 0:14:26.315 has he gotten away with this for a year as 0:14:26.355 --> 0:14:28.955 the number two person in the Let's kill all the 0:14:29.075 --> 0:14:33.115 drag Queens party. I mean, I'm opposed to this. I 0:14:33.155 --> 0:14:36.235 have nothing against drag queens, but at some point are 0:14:36.315 --> 0:14:39.715 any of these cultists going to come down from whatever 0:14:39.835 --> 0:14:44.995 drug they are all high on. We hate drag queens. 0:14:46.235 --> 0:14:50.475 What's that on Vance's face? Anyway? JV goes on with 0:14:50.515 --> 0:14:53.715 Bartiromo and says, quote, we know that Jeffrey Epstein had 0:14:53.755 --> 0:14:56.835 a lot of connections with left wing politicians and left 0:14:56.875 --> 0:15:01.355 wing billionaires. Democrat billionaires and Democrat political leaders went to 0:15:01.395 --> 0:15:04.395 Epstein Island all the time. Who knows what they did, 0:15:05.595 --> 0:15:09.355 which raises two points JV. One, if that's how you 0:15:09.435 --> 0:15:13.035 read it, boy, why haven't you released the files? If 0:15:13.035 --> 0:15:17.635 this is a treasure trove of details about Democrat billionaires 0:15:17.675 --> 0:15:21.115 and left wing billionaires and Democrat political leaders and left 0:15:21.155 --> 0:15:23.995 wing politicians going to Epstein Island and who knows what 0:15:24.075 --> 0:15:27.755 they did? Isn't this the kind of stuff you MAGA 0:15:27.875 --> 0:15:32.955 scum make sure goes public even when it doesn't really exist. 0:15:33.395 --> 0:15:40.355 Why are you suddenly covering up for them? The second point, 0:15:40.395 --> 0:15:43.955 of course, is that throughout the Epstein era, one of 0:15:43.995 --> 0:15:49.155 those left wing politician, left wing billionaire Democratic billionaire Democratic 0:15:49.155 --> 0:15:57.395 political leaders registered Democrats was Donald Trump. Oh, I get it. 0:15:58.315 --> 0:16:01.115 That second point I just made there that explains my 0:16:01.235 --> 0:16:06.435 first point. That's yeah, what we are seeing is clearly 0:16:06.475 --> 0:16:10.275 the outcome of dinner with JV and Susie Wiles. When 0:16:10.315 --> 0:16:15.915 Trump does something new, suddenly, irrationally. That's my next item 0:16:15.955 --> 0:16:18.475 about this nutso demand that the homeless move out of DC. 0:16:18.675 --> 0:16:20.915 Thank you for your attention to this matter, because all 0:16:20.955 --> 0:16:24.755 homeless people have the truth social app When he does 0:16:24.795 --> 0:16:27.475 something out of the blue, there's always something in the 0:16:27.515 --> 0:16:32.555 background that has actually just thrown him, something so big 0:16:32.715 --> 0:16:36.035 that it got through that haze of mirrors that he 0:16:36.155 --> 0:16:39.155 holds around his own face, so you can always see 0:16:39.155 --> 0:16:43.395 how handsome and beautiful he is. Now, this could be 0:16:43.955 --> 0:16:47.275 a Yugov poll for The Economist, showing that his approval 0:16:47.275 --> 0:16:51.555 among conservatives, while still wildly above water, is not as 0:16:51.715 --> 0:16:54.275 wildly above water as it was just a month ago. 0:16:54.475 --> 0:16:58.435 He was a net plus eighty among conservatives in July, 0:16:58.635 --> 0:17:06.155 and he's a net plus sixty five in August. Reading 0:17:06.195 --> 0:17:08.875 conservative poll numbers is always a risky business, but a 0:17:08.875 --> 0:17:11.595 lot of pole analysts look at the interior numbers in 0:17:11.675 --> 0:17:13.955 this Yugo of Economist poll and they see most of 0:17:13.995 --> 0:17:18.915 his slippage coming over the brutality of ice and much 0:17:18.955 --> 0:17:26.355 more significantly about how they're handling Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Who 0:17:26.515 --> 0:17:31.995 mister katur, mister Katur, I know who net plus sixty 0:17:31.995 --> 0:17:37.515 five is net plus sixty five. But he loses that 0:17:37.675 --> 0:17:42.715 much support among conservatives every month, an admittedly crazy idea 0:17:42.755 --> 0:17:45.275 by itself, But if he loses fifteen points a month, 0:17:45.355 --> 0:17:50.195 by January, he would be underwater among conservatives at minus five. 0:17:50.595 --> 0:17:54.995 So dropping fifteen points in a month is not a 0:17:55.035 --> 0:17:59.795 big one, but it's an iceberg. That's what Susie and 0:17:59.915 --> 0:18:03.275 JV were meeting about, because if he drops five points 0:18:03.275 --> 0:18:06.795 among conservatives every month, by next November, he'll be at 0:18:06.995 --> 0:18:12.595 minus ten among conservatives. And guess what next November is 0:18:14.635 --> 0:18:23.395 now it rhymes with schmid schmerms. Trump is obviously in 0:18:23.435 --> 0:18:27.475 the Epstein files the way Gatsby is in The Great Gatsby. 0:18:28.875 --> 0:18:33.955 So you release none of it, but you keep saying 0:18:34.875 --> 0:18:39.795 maybe you will, and when you do, it'll implicate Nick 0:18:39.915 --> 0:18:55.955 Carraway and especially that meer wolfsheime guy. Trump tried to 0:18:55.995 --> 0:18:59.795 spend his weekend teasing a big press conference for today 0:18:59.835 --> 0:19:03.075 about seizing control of the district of Columbia. But of 0:19:03.115 --> 0:19:08.155 course he couldn't shut up. As I hinted earlier, that's 0:19:08.195 --> 0:19:11.395 his big surprise, to try to break your attention from 0:19:11.435 --> 0:19:15.715 Epstein and the disaster that is his mishandling of Ukraine. 0:19:16.315 --> 0:19:17.955 But by yesterday we knew it was going to be 0:19:17.995 --> 0:19:20.915 an attempt to sweep up the homeless and any suspected criminals, 0:19:21.115 --> 0:19:24.195 like the trash left over from the birthday parade Trump 0:19:24.275 --> 0:19:26.955 threw for himself in Washington. Speaking of which, you want 0:19:26.955 --> 0:19:29.515 to sweep up criminals in d C. Don hope you 0:19:29.555 --> 0:19:34.235 start with the Trump cabinet and your family. The first 0:19:34.715 --> 0:19:39.275 slime who should be rounded up is Howard Lutnik, the 0:19:39.355 --> 0:19:44.035 impossibly skilled Trump ass kisser. Howard used to be a 0:19:44.115 --> 0:19:48.875 sympathetic figure. Catter Fitzgerald was his firm. He was chairman. 0:19:49.435 --> 0:19:52.595 Six hundred and fifty eight of his employees died on 0:19:52.675 --> 0:19:57.235 nine to eleven and thereafter, including two of my college classmates. 0:19:58.955 --> 0:20:02.715 He helped organize fundraising recovery care for the families, treatment 0:20:02.755 --> 0:20:07.955 for the nine to eleven cancer victims. Now now what 0:20:07.955 --> 0:20:11.235 they're rite on his tombstone was he kissed the ass 0:20:11.235 --> 0:20:15.235 of a dictator who just cut sixty four million dollars 0:20:15.275 --> 0:20:23.315 in federal funding for terrorism prevention funding in New York City. Howard, 0:20:23.715 --> 0:20:26.675 you've apparently forgotten this now that you found a new 0:20:26.715 --> 0:20:30.115 life lying on television in service of the devil. But 0:20:30.395 --> 0:20:35.435 New York City is where Canter Fitzgerald and the World 0:20:35.515 --> 0:20:41.595 Trade Center was. I do have a practical suggestion about 0:20:41.595 --> 0:20:45.915 Trump's planned treatment of the homeless in DC, which may 0:20:45.955 --> 0:20:48.955 turn out to rival Putin's treatment of the stray dogs 0:20:48.995 --> 0:20:53.355 in Sochi during the twenty fourteen Winter Olympics. This monstrous 0:20:53.515 --> 0:20:57.195 ninety thousand square foot pile of shit Trump plants to 0:20:57.235 --> 0:20:59.555 put next to the White House, then spray it with 0:21:00.195 --> 0:21:05.555 gold plate and call it a ballroom. Move all homeless 0:21:05.595 --> 0:21:09.235 in there, although I can understand if they are reluctant 0:21:09.275 --> 0:21:12.515 to go in because of the rustolium seven seven one 0:21:12.635 --> 0:21:16.275 zero eight three zero. But Trump is now sprayed on 0:21:16.395 --> 0:21:22.075 everything in the area, including Milania. Just because one is 0:21:22.115 --> 0:21:24.955 homeless does not mean one ceases to have taste and standards, 0:21:24.995 --> 0:21:34.035 which would invariably be better than Donald Trump's. And then 0:21:34.035 --> 0:21:36.995 there's the most underrated story and most underrated villain of 0:21:37.035 --> 0:21:40.355 twenty twenty five Columbia University and my former friend and 0:21:40.475 --> 0:21:44.275 colleague gets co chair and Acting President Claire Neville chamberlainshipman 0:21:45.715 --> 0:21:53.355 her cowardice. Her university's cowardice has inspired cowardice copycats everywhere 0:21:53.395 --> 0:21:58.155 in academia. Everything you ever thought bad about a teacher 0:21:58.235 --> 0:22:01.515 or a professor turns out they went into the management 0:22:01.595 --> 0:22:07.035 of our major universities. Trump is now trying to find 0:22:07.075 --> 0:22:14.795 a way to invalidate patents held by Harvard because because 0:22:14.835 --> 0:22:18.555 this is a dictatorship, and he wants a billion dollars 0:22:18.595 --> 0:22:21.475 from UCLA, or he will cut off research grants to 0:22:21.555 --> 0:22:26.475 UCLA because this is a dictatorship. And he has now 0:22:26.555 --> 0:22:32.635 gotten pen to cancel its equal opportunity scholarships because this 0:22:33.075 --> 0:22:38.275 is a dictatorship. On the other hand, as usual, it 0:22:38.395 --> 0:22:41.795 is the students at these places showing most of the guts. 0:22:42.315 --> 0:22:46.435 The newspaper, The Stanford Daily is suing the Trump administration. 0:22:47.635 --> 0:22:51.555 Stanford is not suing the newspaper run by the students. 0:22:51.755 --> 0:22:56.235 The Stanford Daily is suing the Trump administration over its 0:22:56.315 --> 0:23:00.235 use of immigration laws to target and deport pro Palestinian 0:23:00.315 --> 0:23:06.035 activists because international students on the staff of The Stanford 0:23:06.115 --> 0:23:10.075 Daily are turning down news assignments related to the War 0:23:10.155 --> 0:23:15.115 on Gaza or quote seeking removal of their previous articles 0:23:15.195 --> 0:23:19.915 about it. The lawyers for the student papers say the 0:23:19.915 --> 0:23:26.755 government is actively and retroactively violating the First Amendment. Unlike 0:23:26.795 --> 0:23:28.915 the people they pay their money to and are supposed 0:23:28.915 --> 0:23:35.195 to learn from, they are doing something. I'll say it again. 0:23:35.235 --> 0:23:37.795 You know what would have stopped this, this particular thing 0:23:38.435 --> 0:23:42.755 about academia if when Trump first aimed symbolic rocket launchers 0:23:42.795 --> 0:23:46.435 at Columbia and at his own alma mater, Penn, if 0:23:46.475 --> 0:23:49.475 Penn had said, you go girl, and then announced it 0:23:49.515 --> 0:23:52.155 was withdrawing Trump's degree from the Wharton School at the 0:23:52.235 --> 0:23:56.515 University of Pennsylvania. Or if Penn had merely announced that 0:23:56.515 --> 0:24:00.715 Trump's degree was now under review, a review that will 0:24:00.755 --> 0:24:05.435 take several years because of irregularities discovered in the admissions 0:24:05.515 --> 0:24:09.515 office records of the time, which they had just found 0:24:09.835 --> 0:24:15.915 while looking for DEI stuff at Penn. And you know 0:24:15.995 --> 0:24:23.075 what else, If Penn did that now we're reviewing Trump's degree, 0:24:23.195 --> 0:24:26.075 it will take till the year twenty thirty six. If 0:24:26.115 --> 0:24:30.555 Penn did that now, it would completely push Trump and 0:24:30.715 --> 0:24:42.635 his multiple assholes back on their heels today. Ultimately, of course, 0:24:42.835 --> 0:24:45.235 we're still going to have to defund the federal government. 0:24:46.475 --> 0:24:49.355 That might wait till after the midterms, but at minimum 0:24:49.355 --> 0:24:50.995 going to have to do it no later than January 0:24:51.035 --> 0:24:55.035 twenty one, twenty twenty six. We have to starve Trump out. 0:24:55.475 --> 0:24:57.955 We have to demand he pays a billion dollars or 0:24:59.515 --> 0:25:01.035 any of you guys know how to turn off all 0:25:01.075 --> 0:25:05.155 the electricity to the White House in mary Lago. Worst 0:25:05.155 --> 0:25:10.515 person's next. This is Countdown. This is Countdown with Keith 0:25:11.595 --> 0:25:35.635 Olberman still ahead on this edition of Countdown thirty seven 0:25:35.715 --> 0:25:40.675 years ago. Right now they were getting a press conference ready. 0:25:40.715 --> 0:25:44.115 They were putting it together for that night, the biggest 0:25:44.115 --> 0:25:49.515 one in the history of hockey in California, one of 0:25:49.555 --> 0:25:52.995 the five biggest press conferences in the history of sports 0:25:53.835 --> 0:25:57.155 in Los Angeles, and as a vice president of the 0:25:57.195 --> 0:25:59.995 Los Angeles King's hockey team said to me, it's all 0:26:00.035 --> 0:26:03.675 your fault, you bastard. He was smiling at me though 0:26:03.675 --> 0:26:06.195 when he said that. I think it was a smile. 0:26:06.795 --> 0:26:11.115 The story of the greatest story I ever broke, and 0:26:11.155 --> 0:26:16.315 how I did almost nothing to break it. I didn't 0:26:16.355 --> 0:26:20.315 even phone it in. The sources phoned it into me 0:26:21.435 --> 0:26:25.355 next in things I promised not to tell. It's Kretzky 0:26:25.435 --> 0:26:28.595 Day first. Believe it or not, there's still more new 0:26:28.635 --> 0:26:31.035 idiots to talk about, the roundup of the miss Grants, 0:26:31.035 --> 0:26:34.915 morons and Dunning Kruger effects specimens who constitute today's other 0:26:35.515 --> 0:26:41.115 worst persons in the world, the Brons worse. Why it's 0:26:41.275 --> 0:26:51.475 Secretary Christy Nome, Christie Garden, Gnome CHRISTI murder your daughter's dog, Gnome, Christy, 0:26:52.675 --> 0:27:00.195 I'm keeping an entire industry alive, Gnome, reacting to her 0:27:00.275 --> 0:27:04.315 portrayal on South Park. And I'd like to point out 0:27:04.315 --> 0:27:06.475 that the ball all the guardrails that have failed us, 0:27:06.515 --> 0:27:10.995 the one last remaining guardrail, the last line of defense 0:27:11.115 --> 0:27:19.195 surrounding democracy, maybe South Park, Parker and Stone, and that's it. 0:27:19.875 --> 0:27:23.395 Washington Post out the window, the Courts, out the e 0:27:23.515 --> 0:27:30.355 fing window, CBS News out the window, NBC, ABC, out 0:27:30.355 --> 0:27:36.555 the window. Appeasement after appeasement by the university system. The 0:27:36.635 --> 0:27:41.035 university's out the window. Everybody in it for themselves, Like 0:27:41.115 --> 0:27:47.555 this is France in February of nineteen thirty freaking nine, 0:27:47.955 --> 0:27:52.995 not South Park. She's not happy with the portrayal, in 0:27:53.035 --> 0:27:56.915 which I believe they kind of represented her as Michael 0:27:57.035 --> 0:28:02.875 Palin's movie or Terry Gilliams movie Brazil portrayed one of 0:28:02.915 --> 0:28:09.115 the characters who's facial work melted one day and they 0:28:09.115 --> 0:28:12.315 were having problems with facial work and the faces just 0:28:12.515 --> 0:28:15.875 melted or turned into goo. And they did that with 0:28:16.395 --> 0:28:21.875 the Secretary Nome, who among our Western monuments, the only 0:28:21.955 --> 0:28:24.995 faces that have had more work than Christy Nomes are 0:28:25.035 --> 0:28:31.235 the ones on Mount Rushmore. Anyway, she's complaining and thou 0:28:31.435 --> 0:28:35.995 anything constantly main fine of women for how they look. 0:28:37.155 --> 0:28:42.315 She said to Glenn Beck that's right, Glenn Beck. I 0:28:42.355 --> 0:28:45.875 didn't know either. Yeah, so she managed to make her 0:28:45.915 --> 0:28:48.195 lips move long enough to be able to say in 0:28:48.355 --> 0:28:52.435 thou lay John constantly make fun of women for how 0:28:52.555 --> 0:28:56.315 they look. Well, Secretary Nome, we don't just make fun 0:28:56.355 --> 0:28:58.395 of how you look. We make fun of how you talk, 0:28:58.475 --> 0:29:00.755 because you've had so much work done that you can't 0:29:00.795 --> 0:29:03.995 move your mouth anymore. And we make fun, Secretary Nome, 0:29:04.115 --> 0:29:07.475 of the fact that you are a sadist who kills 0:29:07.555 --> 0:29:12.355 animals for pleasure and shoots puppies. And we make fun 0:29:12.355 --> 0:29:16.195 of the fact that you're a clown. We make fun 0:29:16.195 --> 0:29:18.595 of the fact that that you wear a variety of 0:29:18.675 --> 0:29:22.315 action adventure dress up outfits. And pretend to be tough 0:29:24.155 --> 0:29:26.675 and go to jails in other countries and stand in 0:29:26.675 --> 0:29:30.075 front of bunches of nude men in cages like a 0:29:30.115 --> 0:29:34.435 poor an actress. That's what we make fun of, and 0:29:34.555 --> 0:29:40.755 particularly those dress up outfits. Corey Lewandowski doll sold separately, 0:29:42.995 --> 0:29:48.515 runner up worser. Oh, it's ambassador Mike Huckabee. What's interesting 0:29:48.595 --> 0:29:51.715 about Mike Huckabee is, of course his interest in Israel 0:29:52.595 --> 0:29:55.795 is that it be destroyed, but destroyed the right way. 0:29:56.235 --> 0:30:00.035 They want. The fundamentalists, like this lunatic Huckabee and his 0:30:00.195 --> 0:30:06.555 daughter Huckster Huckabee, and his grandson huck Huckabee, they want 0:30:06.595 --> 0:30:09.955 to see a rapture and for the rapture to happen 0:30:10.395 --> 0:30:14.235 in this screwball version of the Bible that they have. 0:30:14.635 --> 0:30:18.155 The Bible being somewhat dubious source to begin with, but 0:30:18.235 --> 0:30:22.075 their screwball version of the Bible, it ends with all 0:30:22.155 --> 0:30:27.955 of the Jews being forcibly converted to screwball Bible religion, 0:30:28.035 --> 0:30:35.275 whichever one it is, fundamental, episca, whatever it is. And 0:30:35.635 --> 0:30:39.355 you know what happens if you don't get converted, if 0:30:39.355 --> 0:30:44.155 you're Jewish. Yeah, the other way to forcibly convert them 0:30:44.195 --> 0:30:46.595 and make sure that they're all converted. Is that you 0:30:46.635 --> 0:30:48.755 don't have any on earth who aren't converted? And how 0:30:48.755 --> 0:30:51.075 do you do that? Yeah, well, we know how people 0:30:51.075 --> 0:30:55.195 have tried this before. That's Huckabee's interest in Israel. That's 0:30:55.235 --> 0:30:58.115
