WEBVTT - MUSK ATTACKS TRUMP - 6.5.25 0:00:04.795 --> 0:00:25.035 Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. Musk 0:00:25.435 --> 0:00:30.515 has attacked Trump. Musk had already ghosted Trump. Now Musk 0:00:30.675 --> 0:00:34.435 is attacking Trump. At this point it is still passive aggressive, 0:00:34.715 --> 0:00:39.075 but it is unmistakable an attack by Musk on Trump. 0:00:40.195 --> 0:00:43.515 How is that possible? Who could have ever foreseen that? 0:00:43.595 --> 0:00:49.755 Relying on a chemicaled up, psychologically impaired, persistently overpromising, compulsive 0:00:49.995 --> 0:00:52.955 sperm donor who may have been the victim of a 0:00:53.035 --> 0:00:56.755 botched penile implant. Who could have ever foreseen that could 0:00:56.755 --> 0:01:00.555 be a bad thing? But he's exactly like my oldest son. 0:01:02.195 --> 0:01:06.795 Musk has ghosted Trump. More importantly, Musk's money is going 0:01:06.795 --> 0:01:10.235 to ghost Trump and bluntly, without Musk's money two hundred 0:01:10.235 --> 0:01:12.355 and seventy five million dollars in the election, thank you 0:01:12.395 --> 0:01:17.115 Citizens United and Floyd Abrams. Without Musk's money and musks 0:01:17.235 --> 0:01:20.395 tech bro vote and musks we'll be on maus next 0:01:20.395 --> 0:01:25.315 week vote and Musk's white supremacist apartheid vote, Trump probably loses. 0:01:26.115 --> 0:01:30.795 Musk has ghosted Trump and is starting to attack Trump, 0:01:31.635 --> 0:01:35.595 and Trump can't say a word because unless Musk bank 0:01:35.715 --> 0:01:38.195 rolls it, Trump will not be able to subvert the 0:01:38.275 --> 0:01:42.115 Constitution and run for a third term. And unless Musk 0:01:42.235 --> 0:01:45.275 bank rolls it, a Trump successor will never get off 0:01:45.275 --> 0:01:48.595 the ground. And unless Musk bank rolls it, the Republicans 0:01:48.595 --> 0:01:50.755 will lose the House next year and maybe the Senate too. 0:01:51.275 --> 0:01:55.075 All Trump has been able to do thus far is 0:01:55.155 --> 0:02:01.115 the really sad site of publishing without comment. A screenshot 0:02:01.835 --> 0:02:06.435 of a Musk tweet thanking and praising Trump, and the 0:02:06.475 --> 0:02:12.395 tweet is from May twenty eighth. Musk's response was to 0:02:12.435 --> 0:02:15.795 pin to his feed a tweet from an expert. It's 0:02:15.835 --> 0:02:18.075 from a woman in Vegas who shows herself in a 0:02:18.115 --> 0:02:24.035 string bikini grilling burgers. So next Trump Supreme Court justice nominee. 0:02:24.115 --> 0:02:27.755 It encourages conservatives to go to the comment sections at 0:02:27.795 --> 0:02:33.275 Fox News and quoting this magic chef. Almost every comment 0:02:33.515 --> 0:02:37.635 is in agreement with Elon. To see so many vehemently 0:02:37.675 --> 0:02:44.355 disagreeing with Trump is wild. Then there are screenshots, screenshots 0:02:44.395 --> 0:02:49.835 of comments, not burgers or buns. It is a passive 0:02:50.035 --> 0:02:54.955 aggressive attack on Trump by Musk. Ya a second party 0:02:55.715 --> 0:03:00.915 with burgers and buns and screenshots. But make no mistake, 0:03:01.155 --> 0:03:10.315 it's an attack and this is the best part. Trump 0:03:10.395 --> 0:03:14.795 cannot trash Musk in return as much as he wants to, 0:03:14.875 --> 0:03:18.395 no doubt, as much as Musk attacks the House for 0:03:18.515 --> 0:03:20.835 Trump's budget bill and it's two point four trillion dollar 0:03:20.955 --> 0:03:24.795 add to the deficit without mentioning Trump, even though it's 0:03:24.835 --> 0:03:27.515 Trump's bill and those idiots in the House like Mike 0:03:27.595 --> 0:03:31.195 Johnson are just Trump's slaves, as much as Musk is 0:03:31.235 --> 0:03:35.875 still protecting Trump from himself. In this manner, Trump has 0:03:35.955 --> 0:03:38.835 to do the most difficult thing in the world for him. 0:03:39.395 --> 0:03:46.555 Shut himself up, keep his mouth closed and his fingers 0:03:46.875 --> 0:03:53.275 off the phone. Trump may yet snap, he may lash 0:03:53.315 --> 0:03:56.235 out at Musk. Lord knows, there's never been anybody else 0:03:56.355 --> 0:04:00.355 Trump has ever been betrayed by, or even insufficiently supported by, 0:04:00.595 --> 0:04:03.955 that he hasn't lashed out at. But strategically, the entirety 0:04:03.995 --> 0:04:07.555 of Trump World has got to be focusing itself on 0:04:07.755 --> 0:04:12.195 pouring fresh buckets of ice water over Trump every twenty minutes, 0:04:12.235 --> 0:04:16.955 because if he comes back at Musk, Maga is suddenly broke. 0:04:19.155 --> 0:04:23.755 Trump is already facing Musk's Trumpean barrage of tweets the 0:04:23.835 --> 0:04:27.235 other night, thirteen of them, about as many yesterday afternoon, 0:04:27.595 --> 0:04:30.475 demanding that America vote out all the congressmen who voted 0:04:30.475 --> 0:04:33.675 for the budget bill, and guess who they are. They're Republicans. 0:04:34.355 --> 0:04:36.995 Shame on those who voted for it. You know you 0:04:37.115 --> 0:04:40.875 did wrong. Fire all politicians who betrayed the American people, 0:04:42.115 --> 0:04:47.035 and the memes of kill the bill. Despite what The 0:04:47.075 --> 0:04:49.475 New York Times posited the other night, the Democrats don't 0:04:49.475 --> 0:04:54.115 have to consider taking Musk back, whatever that means. Musk 0:04:54.275 --> 0:04:56.355 just did all we could ever ask for him. He 0:04:56.515 --> 0:05:01.155 just endorsed every Democratic congressional candidate, and before that, he 0:05:01.235 --> 0:05:04.635 endorsed every potential primary of every sitting Republican house member. 0:05:04.915 --> 0:05:08.355 And we haven't even gotten to the Senate yet. Musk 0:05:08.955 --> 0:05:12.915 just this week doubled the cost of electing Republicans next 0:05:12.995 --> 0:05:19.275 year and shut off his own money spigot. And if 0:05:19.315 --> 0:05:23.715 you're wondering about the principles involved, these are not complex 0:05:23.795 --> 0:05:27.955 matters of finance or deficit as a percentage of GDP, 0:05:28.235 --> 0:05:32.595 or the sustainability of the debt sealing system. It's simple. 0:05:32.915 --> 0:05:36.955 The rich, and especially the especially rich, all eventually see 0:05:36.995 --> 0:05:40.995 their lives ruined by the same monomania. The more money 0:05:40.995 --> 0:05:43.475 they make, the more time they waste, and the more 0:05:43.555 --> 0:05:47.435 pain they feel at having to give any of that 0:05:47.595 --> 0:05:54.755 money to anybody else, especially as part of taxes, especially 0:05:54.835 --> 0:06:01.235 as part of some kind of responsibility delio about mankind, 0:06:02.075 --> 0:06:05.435 where mankind asks for like a dollar dollar back for 0:06:05.475 --> 0:06:09.995 every million, these guys get to keep money. It's all 0:06:10.075 --> 0:06:13.675 Musk is, it's all Trump is, it's all Scott besson is, 0:06:14.075 --> 0:06:16.955 It's all all of them are. This is about them 0:06:16.995 --> 0:06:22.795 paying less taxes because at trillion dollars is not going 0:06:22.835 --> 0:06:28.155 as far as it used to anyway. Thanks ghosting, Elmo, 0:06:28.715 --> 0:06:32.635 Thanks passive aggressive Elmo for kneeing Trump in the groin. 0:06:32.675 --> 0:06:34.275 And we will get back to you if we need 0:06:34.315 --> 0:06:36.795 you at any of the Democratic events. Who in the 0:06:36.835 --> 0:06:41.355 hell am I kidding? Musk has also and more obviously 0:06:41.395 --> 0:06:45.515 ghosted the Republican Party in whole, especially the House Republicans. 0:06:45.515 --> 0:06:48.675 But the real issue is Trump who. And remember the 0:06:48.755 --> 0:06:50.715 quote is in the Wall Street Journal from the very 0:06:50.795 --> 0:06:54.035 same White House officials who got Trump to chase Musk 0:06:54.155 --> 0:06:57.915 out in the first place. Trump, who finally realized the 0:06:57.955 --> 0:07:01.275 eleven dy trillion in cuts Musk promise was another one 0:07:01.275 --> 0:07:05.755 of Musk's hallucinations, his most vivid fantasies from his most 0:07:05.755 --> 0:07:11.115 profound fugue states. Trump finally asked was it all bullshit? 0:07:12.915 --> 0:07:17.515 Oh my yes, you mean even you were too disconnected 0:07:17.515 --> 0:07:21.475 to realize it was all bullshit, that it was bullshit, 0:07:21.515 --> 0:07:25.035 that it was all bullshit, that everything Musk says is bullshit. 0:07:26.795 --> 0:07:30.835 The new reporting on this is limited and controlled. The 0:07:31.035 --> 0:07:35.795 leak to its stenographer at Politico, dash of Burns is quote, 0:07:36.035 --> 0:07:41.075 the West Wing is perplexed, unenthused, and disappointed. You bet 0:07:41.155 --> 0:07:46.675 your ass and over on Capitol Hill. Why Mike Johnson 0:07:46.755 --> 0:07:50.595 is in shock that Lyle Lanley didn't return his calls 0:07:50.635 --> 0:07:53.675 about the new Springfield mono rail. Well, I'll tell you. 0:07:53.675 --> 0:07:55.635 I called Elon last night and then answered it. But 0:07:56.515 --> 0:07:58.155 I hope to talk to him today. I mean, it's 0:07:58.195 --> 0:08:01.235 not you know, it's very friendly and we and we've 0:08:01.315 --> 0:08:05.235 laughed about our differences on policy before we'll disclosure. Elan 0:08:05.275 --> 0:08:07.155 and I had a great conversation about a half hour 0:08:07.195 --> 0:08:11.675 long talk on Monday this week, Monday morning, and we 0:08:11.715 --> 0:08:13.795 talked about the big Beautiful bill because he made he 0:08:14.195 --> 0:08:15.515 I think he was trying to make a joke a 0:08:15.595 --> 0:08:17.675 couple of days earlier. It can't be big and beautiful, 0:08:17.675 --> 0:08:19.955 And I started the conversation, Oh yes it can, my friend, 0:08:19.955 --> 0:08:22.115 It's very beautiful. I talked to President Trump, you know, 0:08:22.275 --> 0:08:25.715 all the time, multiple times a day. Obviously we've talked 0:08:25.715 --> 0:08:28.795 about this. He's as you know, he's not He's not 0:08:28.875 --> 0:08:31.435 delighted that Elon did a one to eighty on that. 0:08:31.595 --> 0:08:34.755 But look, I don't know what happened. 0:08:34.515 --> 0:08:35.115 In twenty four hours. 0:08:35.275 --> 0:08:38.195 Everybody can draw their own conclusions about that, okay, But 0:08:38.235 --> 0:08:39.915 I look forward to talking to my friend about it again, 0:08:39.915 --> 0:08:41.755 and I'm not upset about it. 0:08:41.755 --> 0:08:47.515 All right, Mike, you fed up, you trusted musk. By 0:08:47.555 --> 0:08:52.155 the way, Mike Johnson talks and sounds like a guy 0:08:52.555 --> 0:08:56.275 who should be saying, well, traffic is backed up throughout 0:08:56.315 --> 0:09:01.875 the corridor after that explosion at the rhubarb factory. Now 0:09:02.875 --> 0:09:33.395 here are the Statler brothers. And I love the Statler brothers. 0:09:33.835 --> 0:09:37.995 Got then, King, don't tell me some other headlines. Trump 0:09:38.035 --> 0:09:41.555 says he's talked to Putin for ninety minutes, largely about Ukraine, 0:09:41.555 --> 0:09:44.275 says Putin has says he will now have to avenge 0:09:44.315 --> 0:09:46.875 the Ukrainian tax on air bases in Russia. Oh no, 0:09:46.955 --> 0:09:51.835 what's he gonna do, Donnie start bombing Ukrainian civilians. Trump 0:09:51.875 --> 0:09:57.155 is an utter fool, a Russian simp. Never mind whether 0:09:57.195 --> 0:10:00.515 Putin or Zelenski wants peace. If Trump wanted peace, he 0:10:00.595 --> 0:10:03.875 should be right now congratulating Ukraine on the best incursion 0:10:03.915 --> 0:10:08.675 into Russias Napoleon reached Moscow. He should be saying, Look, 0:10:08.715 --> 0:10:14.115 if Russia wants peace, this is simple. Remove Putin. Trump 0:10:14.115 --> 0:10:18.715 has also attacked Columbia University again. Do you see what 0:10:18.955 --> 0:10:22.995 happens when you try to appease He is now trying 0:10:22.995 --> 0:10:29.355 to get its accreditation removed, alleging discriminatory admission policies, trying 0:10:29.395 --> 0:10:32.555 to turn it into not a university. It is not 0:10:32.755 --> 0:10:38.995 too late, Claire, kill your deal. Sue him for one 0:10:39.075 --> 0:10:46.195 hundred trillion dollars. Carl Harvard, Trump's guy in charge of 0:10:46.235 --> 0:10:49.115 pardoning those who tried to overthrow democracy for him, has 0:10:49.155 --> 0:10:53.275 a new target. He wants to pardon the fake electors. 0:10:53.955 --> 0:10:57.675 The written analysis of the May Outlook for US agricultural 0:10:57.755 --> 0:11:00.075 trade from the US Department of Agriculture was ready to 0:11:00.115 --> 0:11:03.435 go on May twenty ninth, but it predicted an increase 0:11:03.515 --> 0:11:07.395 in the nation's farm goods trade deficit to a record 0:11:07.435 --> 0:11:11.195 no last forty nine billion. We can't have that, so 0:11:11.315 --> 0:11:15.795 Trump didn't release the written part. A redacted version was 0:11:15.835 --> 0:11:19.915 released Monday, of this week, no written part, the part 0:11:19.915 --> 0:11:22.915 with the trade deficit still has not been released because, 0:11:23.115 --> 0:11:28.675 says a USDA spokesman, it's undergoing internal review by Winston Smith, 0:11:29.715 --> 0:11:32.315 you know six zero seven nine Smith w at the 0:11:32.355 --> 0:11:40.475 Ministry of Truth. Smith six oh seven nine will also 0:11:40.555 --> 0:11:43.795 be looking at the Florida meteorologists who apologize to his 0:11:43.875 --> 0:11:46.235 viewers the other day because he would not be able 0:11:46.235 --> 0:11:48.995 to warn them anymore about hurricanes because the government isn't 0:11:49.035 --> 0:11:53.315 telling anybody what it knows about hurricanes. So good luck 0:11:53.395 --> 0:11:58.155 Florida and the Office of Management and Budget. Where the 0:11:58.195 --> 0:12:02.675 evil moron behind Project twenty twenty five, the ironically named 0:12:02.755 --> 0:12:07.315 RUSS Vote high. It is boasting on social media about 0:12:07.315 --> 0:12:10.595 the money it has cut from PBS and you know, 0:12:11.315 --> 0:12:16.675 keeping American kids from starving and quote four million dollars 0:12:16.875 --> 0:12:23.555 saved for Lagome Systems research. It helpfully attached a photo 0:12:23.675 --> 0:12:31.715 of six or seven types of legomes beans Legome Systems research. Oh, 0:12:31.755 --> 0:12:36.635 what's that sounds French? It's how to breed healthier and 0:12:36.675 --> 0:12:42.515 more durable beans and other innovations and also improving upon 0:12:42.635 --> 0:12:46.875 some past innovations like from seven thousand years ago. One 0:12:46.875 --> 0:12:52.075 of them was called corrop rotation. We are deliberately destroying 0:12:52.195 --> 0:12:56.755 knowledge so that Trump will not be so stupid compared 0:12:56.795 --> 0:13:01.475 to everybody else. And by the way, he is complaining 0:13:01.515 --> 0:13:05.115 now internally according to several reports about a the Supreme 0:13:05.235 --> 0:13:08.235 Court justice, he does not like who he thinks is weak, 0:13:08.475 --> 0:13:14.075 thinks is not upholding his agenda. Catanji Brown, Jackson, so 0:13:14.195 --> 0:13:23.595 tom Ore, Noop, Amy Coney, Barrett, Okay, who's gonna break 0:13:23.635 --> 0:13:37.675 it to him now? Story time, Nearly four decades ago, 0:13:37.755 --> 0:13:40.195 I was preparing to get back into television after a 0:13:40.235 --> 0:13:42.675 long hiatus taking care of my family. And I'm gonna 0:13:42.755 --> 0:13:45.755 leave the details of this out, which is too bad 0:13:45.755 --> 0:13:48.235 in one way, because my gratitude to the news director 0:13:48.515 --> 0:13:50.595 who took a chance on me all those years ago 0:13:50.755 --> 0:13:54.635 is endless and boundless, and I always think of him 0:13:54.635 --> 0:13:55.955 at this time of the year because it happened at 0:13:55.955 --> 0:14:00.595 this time of year. But there was one drawback to 0:14:00.675 --> 0:14:04.475 the job, and it is relevant to our current political system. 0:14:05.475 --> 0:14:08.875 The one drawback was hinted at to me by members 0:14:08.915 --> 0:14:12.195 of the sports department at this TV station long before 0:14:12.235 --> 0:14:15.395 I even signed the contract. The station had another sportscaster 0:14:15.995 --> 0:14:20.915 he did the weekends, who's described to me not just 0:14:21.035 --> 0:14:24.075 as the dumbest person any of them there had ever met, 0:14:24.355 --> 0:14:27.195 but very possibly the dumbest person who had ever lived. 0:14:28.395 --> 0:14:32.395 We eventually fired him after he mispronounced the same hockey 0:14:32.475 --> 0:14:36.315 name thirty one weeks in a row. Then after he 0:14:36.355 --> 0:14:39.635 tried to sneak some woman into a team's press box 0:14:40.595 --> 0:14:43.555 and decided the best place to stash her was the 0:14:43.595 --> 0:14:46.075 seat that in fact belonged to the general manager of 0:14:46.155 --> 0:14:48.555 that team, And they then refused to give him any 0:14:48.555 --> 0:14:52.475 more press credentials. And I believe the last I heard 0:14:52.475 --> 0:14:55.475 he had not worked in sports television since. And this 0:14:55.755 --> 0:15:00.675 was like, well again, like four decades ago. He was 0:15:00.915 --> 0:15:03.555 offered another job. I know that after about two years 0:15:03.555 --> 0:15:05.755 of unemployment, a good one, working with a guy who 0:15:05.755 --> 0:15:08.155 did a national sports cast. But the story I heard 0:15:08.315 --> 0:15:10.955 was as they were about to draw up the contract 0:15:10.995 --> 0:15:13.635 and they were congratulating him on getting the job. He 0:15:13.755 --> 0:15:16.035 had a good voice, and he looked like a Greek god, 0:15:16.115 --> 0:15:18.995 and he fits suits really well. He said, oh, by 0:15:18.995 --> 0:15:21.035 the way, I never fly business class. It has to 0:15:21.075 --> 0:15:25.915 be first. And they said, well, the guy who does 0:15:26.235 --> 0:15:29.475 this national sports cast you'll be working with, he doesn't 0:15:29.555 --> 0:15:32.635 even fly first. And this guy shrugged and I guess 0:15:32.675 --> 0:15:36.395 he's somewhere now, still waiting for them to send him 0:15:36.395 --> 0:15:42.355 the contract with the first class airfare guarantee in it. Anyway, 0:15:42.835 --> 0:15:45.595 the point he was on the air one night with 0:15:45.715 --> 0:15:48.555 the fellow who preceded me as the sports director of 0:15:48.595 --> 0:15:53.395 this station, and my predecessor was live from Chicago, and 0:15:53.435 --> 0:15:57.115 as they wrapped up the segment, the dumb guy asks 0:15:57.195 --> 0:15:58.995 my predecessor, by the way, do you have a good 0:15:59.035 --> 0:16:04.235 view of the ocean from your hotel. My predecessor realizes 0:16:04.515 --> 0:16:08.155 he's not joking, he's serious, and he looks at him 0:16:08.195 --> 0:16:13.235 like huh, And finally he says, oh, the lake, Lake Michigan. 0:16:13.515 --> 0:16:15.235 You mean, do I have a good view of the 0:16:15.395 --> 0:16:18.795 lake from my hotel? And the guy back in the studio, 0:16:18.875 --> 0:16:22.755 the dumb one says, yeah, the ocean, Lake Michigan. Ocean, 0:16:22.875 --> 0:16:29.515 Lake Michigan. I mention him, and I'm going to pretend 0:16:29.515 --> 0:16:32.675 I've forgotten his name, even though when we fired him, 0:16:32.675 --> 0:16:37.035 the entire sports department came in to the office, many 0:16:37.035 --> 0:16:41.755 of them on their nights off, for a party highlighted 0:16:41.795 --> 0:16:43.955 by the moment at which we went outside and painted 0:16:44.035 --> 0:16:48.315 over his name on his parking spot, and a mighty 0:16:48.475 --> 0:16:51.915 roar went up from the crowd, and I mention him 0:16:51.915 --> 0:16:55.275 at length because every time I read another story about 0:16:55.315 --> 0:16:58.435 Trump and this group of absolute idiots he has picked 0:16:58.435 --> 0:17:02.075 to run this country into the ground, I think of 0:17:02.155 --> 0:17:06.275 that weekend sportscaster, and I keep waiting to hear he's 0:17:06.315 --> 0:17:12.475 been nominated as Secretary of Geography or the head of 0:17:12.515 --> 0:17:16.635 the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that isn't supplying the 0:17:16.675 --> 0:17:19.915 hurricane reports anymore, or he's been elected senator from somewhere, 0:17:19.915 --> 0:17:26.755 because these people may actually be dumber than he was. 0:17:29.315 --> 0:17:32.435 What you will hear first is Senator Mark Wayne Mullen 0:17:32.555 --> 0:17:39.355 of Oklahoma. Mark Wayne one word dropped out of Missouri 0:17:39.475 --> 0:17:45.275 Valley College, but later got an associate degree in construction 0:17:45.435 --> 0:17:50.515 technology from Oklahoma State University Institute of Technology. And I'm 0:17:50.515 --> 0:17:54.035 not trying to demean construction. My dad's architectural career was 0:17:54.075 --> 0:18:00.115 intertwined with it. But that's that's some academic resume item 0:18:00.195 --> 0:18:02.875 for a guy who you will hear trying to complain 0:18:03.355 --> 0:18:07.195 to the Secretary of Lack of Education Linda McMahon about 0:18:07.195 --> 0:18:10.835 how academic standards have fallen in this country, but doesn't 0:18:10.915 --> 0:18:15.595 know the difference between the words was and were twice, 0:18:16.435 --> 0:18:18.555 He shows he does not know the difference between was 0:18:19.115 --> 0:18:21.675 and were. What was we ranked in reading and math 0:18:21.715 --> 0:18:22.715 in nineteen seventy nine? 0:18:23.395 --> 0:18:23.835 I'm sorry? 0:18:23.875 --> 0:18:27.715 What what was we ranked nationally in math and in 0:18:27.755 --> 0:18:29.115 reading in nineteen seventy nine? 0:18:29.315 --> 0:18:30.995 We were very very low on the totem pole. 0:18:31.075 --> 0:18:41.115 We're number one in nineteen seventy nine? What was we ranked? Senator? 0:18:42.075 --> 0:18:45.955 If you wanted to emphasize educational deterioration, you could have 0:18:46.115 --> 0:18:50.475 just held up a picture of yourself. If you notice, 0:18:50.475 --> 0:18:54.315 he also got the word nationally wrong, he meant internationally. 0:18:55.035 --> 0:19:02.115 Doesn't know the difference, Mark Queen. The look on the 0:19:02.155 --> 0:19:07.315 face of Linda McMahon, who infamously said that the acronym 0:19:07.355 --> 0:19:11.515 for artificial intelligence was pronounced A one. That look was 0:19:11.715 --> 0:19:16.395 almost ineffable. It may have been produced by her realization that, 0:19:16.435 --> 0:19:20.515 for the first time ever, she was not the stupidest 0:19:20.595 --> 0:19:28.475 person in the room. After Senator, associate degree in construction Tech, 0:19:29.635 --> 0:19:33.275 I give you the endless fountain of stupidity and falsehoods. 0:19:33.275 --> 0:19:36.995 That is the press secretary with the word lie contained 0:19:36.995 --> 0:19:41.475 in both her first and last names. The centerfielder from 0:19:41.515 --> 0:19:47.155 a Division three softball program, Caroline Levitt. 0:19:47.875 --> 0:19:51.355 President Chump sounded the alarm over these reckless Biden policies 0:19:51.395 --> 0:19:54.595 for years. Law and order is back in America under 0:19:54.635 --> 0:19:58.435 President Chump. For example, just before Congress enacted the original 0:19:58.915 --> 0:19:59.795 Chump tax cut. 0:20:00.035 --> 0:20:03.955 You heard it, President Chump. I'll play it again in 0:20:03.995 --> 0:20:11.635 a moment, President Chump. Caroline Levitt is not only an 0:20:11.675 --> 0:20:15.915 amazing perpetual motion lying machine, she's rapidly also turning into 0:20:15.955 --> 0:20:19.875 a mispronunciation machine. Let's listen again to it, and then 0:20:19.915 --> 0:20:23.995 connected to her greatest mispronunciation hit when she mispronounced the 0:20:24.115 --> 0:20:26.715 name of Hitler. 0:20:27.435 --> 0:20:30.515 Chump tax cuts at the end of twenty seventeen, Adolf Hilter. 0:20:31.155 --> 0:20:40.195 What was we ranked nationally in ed ucation? Caroline? Is 0:20:40.355 --> 0:20:51.475 it okay if we all compare Chump to Hilter? What 0:20:51.675 --> 0:20:55.795 was the Harry Potter premise where they turned all of 0:20:55.835 --> 0:20:59.915 the people in charge of the government into the stupidest 0:20:59.915 --> 0:21:03.875 people in the world and they all destroyed the government 0:21:03.915 --> 0:21:09.475 by being stupid. But this required, of course, wizards and wands, 0:21:09.515 --> 0:21:14.315 And we don't need wizards and wands. We just find 0:21:14.355 --> 0:21:19.835 the stupidest people in the world and put them in charge. 0:21:19.995 --> 0:21:24.555 But the truth leaks out around the corners President jump, 0:21:30.155 --> 0:21:32.275 do you have a good view of the ocean. Also 0:21:32.275 --> 0:21:34.995 of interest, here the beat goes on. A Fox News 0:21:34.995 --> 0:21:39.075 expert says, the real story in Trump's post about Biden 0:21:39.195 --> 0:21:42.715 being clone executed and turned into a robot is that 0:21:42.835 --> 0:21:47.075 it raises the possibility that during the last administration, the 0:21:47.155 --> 0:21:55.835 nation was run by a cable of unelected officials. You 0:21:55.915 --> 0:22:02.915 heard me, she said, cable that's next. This is Countdown, 0:22:05.635 --> 0:22:07.595 George Carolin. The pleasure to have you here. Thank you. 0:22:07.635 --> 0:22:09.755 This is the best news show ever. I toilet to 0:22:09.795 --> 0:22:11.795 one of your producers, and I want you to know 0:22:11.835 --> 0:22:14.915 that I've seen them all and it's just for especially 0:22:14.955 --> 0:22:18.235 the first thirty five minutes. Thank you. It's just unparalleled. 0:22:18.235 --> 0:22:19.835 I got bad news between you and I. We got 0:22:19.875 --> 0:22:21.995 six minutes to completely screw that in my back. Yeah 0:22:21.995 --> 0:22:43.875 that is good. Hey, if he said that about you 0:22:43.955 --> 0:22:47.555 and your newscast, you'd keep playing it too. Sometimes it 0:22:47.675 --> 0:22:51.875 keeps me going. Doing this podcast is often like gargling, 0:22:52.155 --> 0:22:58.435 flaming chainsaws, indulgement sail ahead on this edition of Countdown. 0:22:58.475 --> 0:23:00.195 I was telling somebody the other day that I think 0:23:00.235 --> 0:23:04.835 I have now met every kind of crazy person in 0:23:04.955 --> 0:23:08.315 media management. I met the drunk who came back from 0:23:08.395 --> 0:23:11.955 lunch drunk one day and drunk fired me, mostly because 0:23:11.955 --> 0:23:15.195 I was twenty one and I wasn't drunk, and they 0:23:15.195 --> 0:23:18.715 wound up reprimanding him for being drunk and apologizing to me. 0:23:19.715 --> 0:23:22.035 I turned down a job with an executive from Madison 0:23:22.035 --> 0:23:24.755 Square Garden, who then decided to try to talk me 0:23:24.835 --> 0:23:28.715 out of turning the job down by calling me up 0:23:28.715 --> 0:23:31.555 at my home and swearing at me and threatening me. 0:23:32.235 --> 0:23:35.195 He thought this would encourage me to go work for him. 0:23:35.475 --> 0:23:38.995 But the weirdest of them all, I have decided as 0:23:38.995 --> 0:23:44.035 I approached my half century mark in this business, was 0:23:44.115 --> 0:23:48.555 the head of MSNBC, and he reached his weirdness apex 0:23:49.115 --> 0:23:54.555 twenty one years ago tomorrow, when he wanted to postpone 0:23:54.635 --> 0:23:58.875 the news so he could do an anniversary feature he 0:23:58.915 --> 0:24:03.075 had worked on all week the news he wished to 0:24:03.235 --> 0:24:07.795 postpone that Ronald Reagan had just died. Can't we talk 0:24:07.835 --> 0:24:11.115 about it later? Next? In Things I promised not to tell, 0:24:12.195 --> 0:24:14.075 And this was the guy who chased me around the 0:24:14.115 --> 0:24:17.075 studios one day and threatened to kill me. That wasn't 0:24:17.195 --> 0:24:20.195 nearly as weird as this day, the anniversary of which 0:24:20.275 --> 0:24:24.395 is tomorrow first, believe it or not, there's still more 0:24:24.435 --> 0:24:26.835 new idiots to talk about. The roundup of the mis grants, 0:24:26.915 --> 0:24:31.715 morons and Dunning Kruger effects specimens who constitute today's other 0:24:32.595 --> 0:24:40.035 worst persons in the world The Bronze. Stephen Chung, Trump 0:24:40.075 --> 0:24:46.275 spokesman and resident center of the lowest bar in spokesperson history. Honestly, 0:24:46.355 --> 0:24:49.675 sometimes I think he's a plant. I don't mean a 0:24:49.715 --> 0:24:53.075 Democratic plant. He was planted by Democrats. I sometimes think 0:24:53.195 --> 0:24:57.675 he's a house plant. Chung reposted a viral clip and 0:24:57.755 --> 0:25:01.275 added to it quote must watch. Don't believe the legacy 0:25:01.315 --> 0:25:07.995 media's biased reporting. Americans overwhelmingly support Trump's agenda. The viral 0:25:08.035 --> 0:25:11.955 clip that Chung tweeted to prove that the legacy media 0:25:12.035 --> 0:25:14.315 was biased in its reporting, and you should never listen 0:25:14.355 --> 0:25:17.435 to the legacy media. And the legacy media is biased. 0:25:17.475 --> 0:25:19.555 So don't ever believe a word you see on the 0:25:19.595 --> 0:25:22.275 legacy media. Don't ever do it. It's the legacy media 0:25:22.315 --> 0:25:24.955 there against Trump. The clip he sent it was a 0:25:24.995 --> 0:25:28.915 segment from CNN, which the last time I checked was 0:25:28.995 --> 0:25:34.795 legacy media, even though its legacy is kind of dying. 0:25:37.075 --> 0:25:39.955 The runner up a tie between former New Hampshire Governor 0:25:40.075 --> 0:25:44.835 Chris Sanunu, A Putts, and Abby Phillip, the CNN host 0:25:44.955 --> 0:25:48.035 of the new show Let's Let Republicans Lie for an 0:25:48.075 --> 0:25:51.395 hour hour with Abby Philip, She is now in her 0:25:51.435 --> 0:25:54.555 third year of being in totally over her head. In 0:25:54.595 --> 0:25:57.595 a segment about Trump's insane post in which it was 0:25:57.675 --> 0:26:01.675 clear he was saying Biden had been cloned, then executed, 0:26:01.715 --> 0:26:05.795 then replaced by a robot. In twenty twenty, Sununu, who's 0:26:05.835 --> 0:26:09.075 a Potts, incidentally said that everybody is to blame in 0:26:09.115 --> 0:26:13.675 this and the Democrats boost conspiracy theories to and Abby Phillip, 0:26:13.675 --> 0:26:16.235 who is down to ninety eight thousand viewers in the 0:26:16.315 --> 0:26:21.435 ad demo, then read a tweet by Trump claiming the 0:26:21.555 --> 0:26:25.915 Fake News had photoshopped a photo and thus claimed there 0:26:25.995 --> 0:26:29.035 was a fake Milania or a Milania double or something. 0:26:29.115 --> 0:26:33.675 So it's all the same. Two notes. Who photoshopped the 0:26:33.715 --> 0:26:37.195 photo of Milania? Abby? Was that Biden who did that? 0:26:37.555 --> 0:26:41.035 Or Kamala or somebody who worked for them, or the 0:26:41.035 --> 0:26:46.835 Democratic National Committee or the head of some housecroup that 0:26:46.995 --> 0:26:49.635 belongs to the Democrats, or with some random account on 0:26:49.675 --> 0:26:55.275 Twitter or on truth social that Trump found. You're using 0:26:55.395 --> 0:27:01.635 Trump's evidence to support Trump's bullshit argument. The ninety eight 0:27:01.635 --> 0:27:04.635 thousand Demo viewers is actually a shock because it's so high. 0:27:05.555 --> 0:27:09.755 The second note, even Trump wasn't saying the Democrats had 0:27:09.835 --> 0:27:15.315 done this. He said the News had done this. You 0:27:15.395 --> 0:27:18.035 as assumed it has something to do with the Democrats, abbey. 0:27:18.835 --> 0:27:21.195 The Democrats don't own the News. And you know how 0:27:21.195 --> 0:27:24.355 we know that because if the Democrats owned the News, 0:27:25.035 --> 0:27:28.235 or if Democrats or liberals owned CNN, they would have 0:27:28.275 --> 0:27:31.755 gotten rid of Abby Phillip by now, and certainly the 0:27:31.875 --> 0:27:35.555 asshole Scott Jennings would be back doing whatever he used 0:27:35.555 --> 0:27:43.115 to do, full time cooking fahdas somewhere or knishes. But 0:27:43.235 --> 0:27:47.915 the winner, Kaylee McGee white, someone from the Washington Examiner. 0:27:49.035 --> 0:27:50.715 I know, I know, I could just stop there and 0:27:50.755 --> 0:27:54.075 go to the break right there saying the names Kaylee 0:27:54.075 --> 0:27:56.555 and Washington Examiner. That's enough to win worst person in 0:27:56.595 --> 0:28:00.755 the World. Wait, there's more. That's also Kaylee McGee white 0:28:00.795 --> 0:28:05.035 of one of the American Federation of Women, Federation of 0:28:05.275 --> 0:28:09.595 Women federations and whatever. There's ten million of these fascist 0:28:09.595 --> 0:28:12.475 think tanks. They all involved the same six words, just 0:28:12.515 --> 0:28:18.635 listed in a different order. Federation Women Tank think Anyway, 0:28:18.715 --> 0:28:22.955 Fox brought her on to discuss the Trump cloned executed 0:28:23.075 --> 0:28:27.835 robot story with the anchor John Roberts. Incidentally, John used 0:28:27.835 --> 0:28:30.755 to be In addition to being a VJ in Canada, 0:28:30.995 --> 0:28:33.595 John was then a news reporter in Canada and the 0:28:33.675 --> 0:28:36.515 United States and anchored the news on CBS on the weekends. 0:28:36.835 --> 0:28:42.515 Now he's just another Trump whore reading propaganda. He read 0:28:42.555 --> 0:28:46.595 Trump's insane post and says, I know Trump's sense of humor. 0:28:46.995 --> 0:28:50.595 I'm as humor hum Oh you are, I know Trump's 0:28:50.595 --> 0:28:53.995 sense of humor. I'm sure he was just trolling. And 0:28:54.075 --> 0:28:57.795
