Speaker 1: Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. How
Speaker 1: much time does Trump have left? Because from beyond the grave,
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein has accused Trump and there is a smoking gun,
Speaker 1: maybe four of them. And now Trump and his Republicans,
Speaker 1: especially Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, and his magaan
Speaker 1: nablers and his Fox News whores, are complicit in an
Speaker 1: extraordinary disgusting cover up again, a cover up of pedophilia,
Speaker 1: a cover up of corruption at Pam Bondi's doj, a
Speaker 1: cover up of Epstein's crimes, a new cover up right
Speaker 1: now playing out in real time as Trump tries to
Speaker 1: blackmail Republicans into burying the Epstein files, and most of all,
Speaker 1: a cover up of Trump's guilt of the allegations that
Speaker 1: one of Epstein's female victims quote spent hours at Epstein's
Speaker 1: house with Trump, unquote, that Trump was quote that dog
Speaker 1: that hasn't barked and quote has never once been mentioned.
Speaker 1: Those specific allegations made by Jeffrey Epstein in twenty eleven
Speaker 1: and acknowledged by Galaine Maxwell minutes later by email. Trump
Speaker 1: is guilty. In an unusual twist, we will find out
Speaker 1: what he is guilty of later, but Epstein has provided
Speaker 1: the evidence that almost everything Trump has said about Epstein
Speaker 1: and him is not true. And now, if Trump follows
Speaker 1: the path he has been on for several months and
Speaker 1: pardons Maxwell or commutes her sentence, it could very easily
Speaker 1: cost him his presidency because a pardon or commutation for
Speaker 1: her would be his confession. And now, as Trump panics
Speaker 1: and twice insists it's all a hoax while his enablers
Speaker 1: urgently meet in the White House, we must ask what
Speaker 1: is next? What is in the Epstein files that the
Speaker 1: Republicans in the House who have been blocking their release,
Speaker 1: and those in the Senate who will try to what
Speaker 1: is it that they are so terrified by if it
Speaker 1: wasn't what was released yesterday? And we must ask, now
Speaker 1: that Epstein has managed to convict Trump of at least
Speaker 1: a decade's long cover up, to what lengths will Trump
Speaker 1: go to stop the release of the files? And we
Speaker 1: must ask when will Trump's role in the Epstein crimes,
Speaker 1: in his past cover ups of them, in his current
Speaker 1: cover up of them, in his cover up of whatever
Speaker 1: he is guilty of. When will the true horror of
Speaker 1: Trump's guilt become so overwhelming, so disqualifying, that Republicans will
Speaker 1: have to make the choice between covering up for Trump
Speaker 1: or saving themselves, because that and that alone is the
Speaker 1: moment at which those who have enabled Trump for the
Speaker 1: last decade will become those who will remove Trump, the
Speaker 1: moment at which his public survival means their extinction, or,
Speaker 1: if you prefer to put it this way, their public
Speaker 1: survival means his presidential extinction. How much time does Trump
Speaker 1: have left before Epstein destroys him? To analyze what was
Speaker 1: released yesterday by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, there
Speaker 1: could be, in fact as many as four smoking guns,
Speaker 1: the first one obviously damning more because it is Epstein
Speaker 1: questioning with evident astonishment in twenty eleven, four years before
Speaker 1: Trump even considered running for president, astonished that Trump's name
Speaker 1: had not yet come up related to Epstein's circle. His
Speaker 1: phrase the dog that hasn't barked, That is from Sherlock Holmes.
Speaker 1: That is about a dog that should have reacted negatively
Speaker 1: to some stranger coming in to steal the horse, only
Speaker 1: he didn't bark. Therefore, the conclusion was the guy who
Speaker 1: stole the horse was not a stranger. The dog knew him.
Speaker 1: That's the dog that hasn't barked. The part about the
Speaker 1: hours with the redacted victim's name, that's almost less important
Speaker 1: here because that is probably Virginia Guffrey. The Republicans are
Speaker 1: loudly proclaiming it's her, and she also did once claim
Speaker 1: Trump had been gentlemanly towards her, So the relevance of
Speaker 1: that seems to be more about Trump being in Epstein's
Speaker 1: home with any of his women victims. There is, however,
Speaker 1: this line from another email an Epstein offered to a
Speaker 1: New York Times reporter quote, would you like photos of
Speaker 1: Donald and girls in bikinis in my kitchen? There is
Speaker 1: no doubt that Donald is Trump. There's a reference in
Speaker 1: the same thread with the New York Times reporter to
Speaker 1: quote my twenty year old girlfriend in ninety three that
Speaker 1: after two years I gave to Donald What did he
Speaker 1: give to Donald? Photos or the girlfriend? There is a
Speaker 1: thread about Epstein recounting his interactions with the Russian foreign
Speaker 1: minister and thug Sergei Lavrov, trying to help Lavrov understand Trump,
Speaker 1: serving as some sort of consultant to the Russians about
Speaker 1: how to deal with Trump, which extends the scandal into
Speaker 1: yet another area that may, in fact, long term proof
Speaker 1: are more deleterious to Trump than the Epstein per se
Speaker 1: sex ring and crimes. And then there is the fourth
Speaker 1: smoking gun, one that some readers are really hyped up
Speaker 1: about Mary A. Lago Epstein notes to author Michael Wolfe
Speaker 1: in another email quote, Trump said, he asked me to resign.
Speaker 1: Never remember Ever, of course he knew about the girls,
Speaker 1: as he asked Glane to stop. Sure, he is damning sounding,
Speaker 1: But what if knowing about the girls meant that Trump
Speaker 1: knew about Epstein recruiting women from Mary Lago, as Trump
Speaker 1: has claimed, and that he asked Maxwell to stop recruiting
Speaker 1: from Mary Lago. So that one, I think is too
Speaker 1: vague to have much meaning. The other three are not.
Speaker 1: But then again, all of this is one cube off
Speaker 1: the tip of the proverbial iceberg. By midday yesterday, Trump
Speaker 1: had panicked so much that he had twice posted again,
Speaker 1: calling I guess the entire pedophilia scandal and all of
Speaker 1: the crimes and his cover up of it, Trump's cover
Speaker 1: up of the Epstein files. He called it the Jeffrey
Speaker 1: Epstein hoax. Say that twenty more times in public, and
Speaker 1: you will lose what remains of Maga. And last night
Speaker 1: Nick Fuentes, whose words I ordinarily would give no value
Speaker 1: to whatsoever, declared that Maga is dead. After this, it
Speaker 1: had also been revealed by midday yesterday that Trump had
Speaker 1: personally pitched Lauren Bobert on Tuesday to take her name
Speaker 1: off the discharge petition that will now force the vote
Speaker 1: compelling the release of the Epstein files. The House vote
Speaker 1: we have been hearing so much about the one that
Speaker 1: the shutdown was really about to keep Adelie A. Grijalva
Speaker 1: from being registered as an official member of Congress and
Speaker 1: being the two hundred and eighteenth name on the discharge petition. Yesterday,
Speaker 1: they ratcheted this up when Trump's phone calls to Bobert
Speaker 1: to try to get her to remove her name did
Speaker 1: not work. There was a crash meeting with Lauren Bobert
Speaker 1: in the White House in the Situation Room. The Situation room,
Speaker 1: you know where President Obama and his key cabinet members
Speaker 1: watched the taking out of Osama bin Laden. This time
Speaker 1: it was Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche,
Speaker 1: FBI Director Cash Patel a group that two years ago
Speaker 1: would have been a bad night's panel on a Hannity Show,
Speaker 1: Patel evidently taking time off from flying to boink his
Speaker 1: country singer girlfriend on Our Dime. Obama monitored the death
Speaker 1: of Bin Laden in the situation room. Trump's enablers monitored
Speaker 1: in the situation room whether they could convince a congresswoman
Speaker 1: whose husband allegedly exposed himself to females and was caught
Speaker 1: on film manipulating a constituent during the play, whether they
Speaker 1: could convince her the Epstein thing wasn't all that bad
Speaker 1: and it didn't work any Cardian of The New York
Speaker 1: Times reported quote by understanding is that the relentless pressure
Speaker 1: campaign that has included carrot stick, good Cop, Bad Cop
Speaker 1: has made her even more dug in, suspicious, and convinced
Speaker 1: there's a conspiracy at play. So, unlike Lauren Bobert, they
Speaker 1: didn't pull it off. Next. Republican leadership has warned the
Speaker 1: White House to prepare for the deluge when the vote
Speaker 1: forced by this discharge petition takes place. The number of
Speaker 1: House Republicans who will vote for it and thus vote
Speaker 1: against Trump will be per Politico sources, in the dozens
Speaker 1: quote possibly one hundred or more. Now it is hardly
Speaker 1: among the foremost atrocities in this disaster. But Attorney General
Speaker 1: Bondi looks like even more of an idiot now with
Speaker 1: her little white notebooks that did not include any of
Speaker 1: this good stuff. At her deputy, mister Todd Blanche, who
Speaker 1: would have had access to all of these emails released
Speaker 1: yesterday and yet, based on the transcripts, never asked anything
Speaker 1: remotely close to being about them when he went to
Speaker 1: see Gullane Maxwell in her Florida penitentiary right before they
Speaker 1: moved her to Club Fed in Texas. Mister Blanche now
Speaker 1: sure sounds like a candidate for disbarment sometime in the
Speaker 1: near future. As I mentioned earlier, what matters most now
Speaker 1: is what's next in the files, in the upcoming public
Speaker 1: battle over the files. In whatever Trump tries next to
Speaker 1: stop the files, he cannot win. Clearly there is something
Speaker 1: worse in there, and he knows that, or he would
Speaker 1: last night have called an immediate press briefing, explained what
Speaker 1: was meant by those emails that had just been released
Speaker 1: by those hoaxing Democrats, and he would have said that
Speaker 1: he was perfectly content with everything else in the Epstein
Speaker 1: files being put out right now, and hell, why not
Speaker 1: make it unanimous in the House by acclamation? And he
Speaker 1: didn't do that. So if the contents are released, he screwed.
Speaker 1: But if they're not released, he's also screwed because he
Speaker 1: will have to maintain a constant effort to make sure
Speaker 1: they are not released, a new cover up, if you will.
Speaker 1: Every effing week, the story not only becomes his one
Speaker 1: point eighty from campaigning promising to release these files to
Speaker 1: serving in office dedicating himself to do everything he can
Speaker 1: to not release them, it becomes that every day. The
Speaker 1: one quality to Watergate that no scandal that Trump has faced,
Speaker 1: the one quality Watergate had that nothing Trump has faced
Speaker 1: has yet developed, was that every day element, this could
Speaker 1: be it, we could have started, This could be day
Speaker 1: two of every day with the epstein Gate files. Now,
Speaker 1: if you are wondering how it is possible that even
Speaker 1: a deranged, morals free, sundowning person like Trump could have
Speaker 1: so loudly promised to release everything in some files if
Speaker 1: he knew they included him and would incriminate him and
Speaker 1: perhaps be fatal to his presidency, there are two outside
Speaker 1: factors to consider. First and biggest he had to get
Speaker 1: himself elected last fall. He had to. His other option
Speaker 1: was to go to prison for life. If he had
Speaker 1: determined that he could have guaranteed him self election by
Speaker 1: campaigning on a promise to, once in office, prosecute himself,
Speaker 1: he would have made that promise. And something that's less
Speaker 1: political science fiction, it is possible. Trump originally, when he
Speaker 1: made that promise last year, did not know, and his
Speaker 1: lack of imagination and surfeit of ego did not let
Speaker 1: him consider the possibility that even just what came out
Speaker 1: yesterday was in there. I don't know how many lawsuits
Speaker 1: and depositions he's been involved with. Hundreds, certainly, maybe it's
Speaker 1: more than a thousand, who knows. I imagine at that
Speaker 1: rate they blur after a while. I did one deposition
Speaker 1: in one lawsuit in my life. It was two days
Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen, and I remember nearly every detail, often
Speaker 1: in nightmares, and it went really well for me. I
Speaker 1: thought I knew what the other side would have found
Speaker 1: in its search of my emails, and for the most part,
Speaker 1: I was right about that. On the other hand, here
Speaker 1: is an anecdote that might give you an idea of
Speaker 1: how easy it is to be wrong about that. Their
Speaker 1: lawyer asked me about one subject heading and some of
Speaker 1: my emails to my manager, my agent, and my attorney.
Speaker 1: He asked me to estimate how many times I use
Speaker 1: this one phrase as the subject line in an email
Speaker 1: to those three people. I told him I had no
Speaker 1: good idea. He said he was not expecting a precise answer.
Speaker 1: He would not be holding me to it. He was
Speaker 1: just looking to establish a threshold. Was it this many?
Speaker 1: Was it more than that many? He finally got me
Speaker 1: to agree to his estimate when he said between seventy
Speaker 1: five and one hundred. I said, I thought that sounded right,
Speaker 1: And then I thought I heard my manager laugh involuntarily
Speaker 1: and very faintly. When we broke for lunch, maybe an
Speaker 1: hour later. As soon as we got far enough into
Speaker 1: the hallway for nobody else to hear, my manager and
Speaker 1: my attorney burst into laughter. Oh my god, the subject
Speaker 1: line number, my manager said. My lawyer laughed again. Seventy
Speaker 1: five and one hundred. The correct answer is you used
Speaker 1: it one thousand, two hundred and forty three times. So no,
Speaker 1: he might not have known. He knows now, And what
Speaker 1: he does know is that of all the pitfalls facing
Speaker 1: him right now. The foremost of them is Glaine Maxwell.
Speaker 1: This is a convicted child sex offender, and that is
Speaker 1: the nicest way to put it. Yet, after she gave
Speaker 1: Todd Blanche the answers that he wanted, she was not
Speaker 1: only rescued from that prison in Florida, she was basically
Speaker 1: transferred to a motel. Congressman Jane Ee Raskin is quoting
Speaker 1: a whistleblower who says customized meals are delivered to her cell.
Speaker 1: She has her own private exercise area she can use
Speaker 1: after hours. She has allowed trips out. She has private
Speaker 1: meetings with visitors, and snacks are provided by the prison
Speaker 1: and the guests can bring in their computers, meaning Maxwell
Speaker 1: has unmonitored communications with the outside world, including interviews with reporters. Oh,
Speaker 1: and she has a service puppy and a service warden.
Speaker 1: She is writing an appeal to Trump for a sentence
Speaker 1: commutation and the warden is helping her, and if Trump
Speaker 1: does commute the sentence or worse, pardons her, he will
Speaker 1: inherit the wind Epstein's email about wanting the recipient to
Speaker 1: realize that the dog that hasn't barked is Trump to
Speaker 1: realize how Trump spent hours with a victim in Epstein's
Speaker 1: home to realize that Epstein is surprised he has never
Speaker 1: been mentioned. That was sent to Galaine Maxwell, and her
Speaker 1: response was I have been thinking about that. There are
Speaker 1: two key answers to two key final questions, what's in
Speaker 1: the files that's worse? And what does Maxwell know about Trump?
Speaker 1: And the answers to both of those questions are probably
Speaker 1: exactly the same. Briefly, there's also, as ever context, MAGA
Speaker 1: has been disenchanted yet again by of all things, a
Speaker 1: Laura Ingram interview with Trump, one SoundBite in particular, in
Speaker 1: which Ingram insists that H one B visas, which fast
Speaker 1: track immigrants with special work skills, can't be a priority
Speaker 1: for Trump's administration, and he says, you also do have
Speaker 1: to bring in town, and in her best xenophobic tone,
Speaker 1: she reminds him we have plenty of talent, and he
Speaker 1: dismissively says, no, you don't know, you don't, and she
Speaker 1: replies with astonishment, we don't have talented people here. This
Speaker 1: is not exactly Trump calling Americans untalented, but it's close enough.
Speaker 1: His supporters are not that bright. Any nuance, any space,
Speaker 1: any wiggle room between those two statements doesn't exist for them.
Speaker 1: On top of the fact that they are getting killed
Speaker 1: at the grocery store and everywhere else. And after they
Speaker 1: show their government, I'm allowed to buy popcorn id now
Speaker 1: they have to find out that it's not America. First,
Speaker 1: after all, Christy nom followed that Trump comment to Ingram
Speaker 1: yesterday with a boast that there are more immigrants than
Speaker 1: ever becoming citizens. And clearly, unsurprisingly, considering they're all idiots,
Speaker 1: the magas in office have lost the plot. They have
Speaker 1: forgotten that they were elected to demonize and expel foreigners period. Secondly,
Speaker 1: the full blame has yet to land exclusively or permanently
Speaker 1: on Trump associated press and Nork with a new pole.
Speaker 1: His approval is thirty six percent, a record low but
Speaker 1: not terminal. However, in March, forty three percent of the
Speaker 1: country approved not of him, but of how Trump was
Speaker 1: managing the government. That was the phrase used, managing the government.
Speaker 1: Forty three percent approval is not a lot, but in
Speaker 1: retrospect it looks like a landslide, because in the new
Speaker 1: poll from this month it's down to thirty three percent
Speaker 1: and just thirty eight percent among independents. In other words,
Speaker 1: two thirds of the country do not think he is handling, managing,
Speaker 1: controlling his own government. Well, Trump is not on his
Speaker 1: last legs, but the real life version of the Emperor's
Speaker 1: New Clothes seems to be reaching its final chapter, if
Speaker 1: not its final pages. And now we have these Epstein
Speaker 1: emails and whatever we don't have yet, And so I
Speaker 1: ask again how much time does he have left before
Speaker 1: Epstein destroys him? A couple of updates on Trump's accelerating
Speaker 1: dementia or dementia like illnesses or illness if you missed it.
Speaker 1: He now wants to move troops into a place in
Speaker 1: America that does not exist. Quote. The Miracle Mile shopping
Speaker 1: center in Chicago, once considered our nation's best, is ready
Speaker 1: to call it quits unless something is done about murder
Speaker 1: and crime. Call in the troops fast before it is
Speaker 1: too late. Just the news. Unquote. There is no Miracle
Speaker 1: Mile shopping center in Chicago. It's possible Trump just dreamt
Speaker 1: it or hallucinated it, or who knows. There is the
Speaker 1: so called Magnificent Mile shopping district in Chicago around the
Speaker 1: Hancock Center and the Wrigley Building In the pre eighteen
Speaker 1: seventy one fire water Tower. But it's not a shopping center,
Speaker 1: and it's never been called a shopping center except by Trump.
Speaker 1: Apart from his conflation of the words magnificent and miracle.
Speaker 1: Ask him to repeat those words in the next cognitive
Speaker 1: tests scheduled already for next April. There it is a
Speaker 1: Miracle Miles shopping center in Monroeville, PA. And there's a
Speaker 1: Miracle Mile shopping center in Vegas, and there's one in LA.
Speaker 1: And if Trump wants to send troops to Chicago to
Speaker 1: protect Monroeville, PA, he's farther gone than we thought, like
Speaker 1: far enough to have once again said, the Presidential Medal
Speaker 1: of Freedom is much better than the Congressional Medal of Honor,
Speaker 1: because if you get the Congressional Medal of Honor, you
Speaker 1: could be dead or wounded. Only he said it last
Speaker 1: Saturday to a local newscaster in Pennsylvania, and it went
Speaker 1: viral on Veteran's Day. On the other hand, in a
Speaker 1: rare development, and you may want a clip and save
Speaker 1: me saying this, Trump was actually right about something. The
Speaker 1: head of BBC News and the head of the entire
Speaker 1: BBC suddenly resigned after an edit made in a news
Speaker 1: special that aired more than a year ago, was made
Speaker 1: into a big deal publicly in England in the edit
Speaker 1: two separate clips from Trump's infamous January sixth warm up
Speaker 1: speech that preceded his goon's attempt to overthrow the government
Speaker 1: and kill congressman, senators, and vice presidents. Trump, of course,
Speaker 1: has lived his life in that space between trying to
Speaker 1: inspire others to commit crimes and violence on his behalf
Speaker 1: and actually getting blamed when the crimes and violence occur.
Speaker 1: If he has any intelligence at all, it lies in
Speaker 1: that skill. I didn't do it. I just said it. Well.
Speaker 1: The BBC's edit eliminated that space. And whereas that might
Speaker 1: be a good thing from a moral point of view,
Speaker 1: from a journalistic one, you just can't do what the
Speaker 1: BBC did. You cannot take two statements made about fifty
Speaker 1: minutes apart in real life and edit them together so
Speaker 1: adroitly that it literally changes the meaning that it sounds
Speaker 1: like he's saying he and the mob we'll now go
Speaker 1: to the Capitol and physically fight like hell like there
Speaker 1: was no nuance to it. You can't do that. If
Speaker 1: I had done that with two sound bites at my
Speaker 1: college radio station, they would have suspended me in nineteen
Speaker 1: seventy five. You can run those two sound bites consecutively,
Speaker 1: provided you put in something between them. It can be
Speaker 1: an explanatory sentence, it can be an explanatory hour. It
Speaker 1: can be just one word like later. But you have
Speaker 1: to make the distinction even when you are quoting the devil.
Speaker 1: It was a day one journalism one oh one mistake
Speaker 1: or a day one journalism one oh one malfunction, dysfunction,
Speaker 1: attempt to sneak something past the editors. That being said,
Speaker 1: Trump's response to this was to demand a retraction of
Speaker 1: the documentary. Again, he's right. They should do that. They
Speaker 1: should officially retract and kill that documentary. They've already taken
Speaker 1: it off their website. And he wants an apology. That's
Speaker 1: the BBC's call. What I would do is the BBC
Speaker 1: should apologize to all viewers in the world, including Trump.
Speaker 1: If they want to say that, that to me would suffice.
Speaker 1: We apologize to everyone who has ever lived for our
Speaker 1: editing mistake. And of course he wants money. He wants
Speaker 1: a bribe like he got from ABC and CBS, or
Speaker 1: he'll sue them for a billion dollars because they damaged
Speaker 1: his reputation. This is where the part about an update
Speaker 1: on Trump's madness comes in. What reputation is that? Exactly, Sonny.
Speaker 1: They made it look like you inspired the January sixth insurrection.
Speaker 1: You did, You've boasted about it. They tried to kill
Speaker 1: your vice president while carrying giant flag bearing your name.
Speaker 1: Plus you're Trump. How could they damage you? How could
Speaker 1: anybody damage you? It's like the devil suing over a
Speaker 1: report that it's hot in hell. Plus there'd have to
Speaker 1: be malice proven, and some indication that the program was
Speaker 1: shown in America, which it wasn't. But I will tell
Speaker 1: you this, it's very hard to root for the BBC
Speaker 1: in this because it is such an odd organization. I
Speaker 1: had my own run in with the BBC about six
Speaker 1: years ago over a podcast. The idea that the BBC
Speaker 1: is not perfect is deeply hurtful to the people who
Speaker 1: run the BBC, who just are not that realistic about
Speaker 1: the BBC. Now, for the most part, the BBC's newspeople
Speaker 1: are brilliant, impeccable. If they are not the best in
Speaker 1: the world, they are among the best in the world.
Speaker 1: But this is a company that once ran an advertisement
Speaker 1: for the neutrality of its political coverage by having anchor Cat,
Speaker 1: who is not one of the best in the world,
Speaker 1: walked through the streets of Washington, passed giant graphic representations
Speaker 1: of words like neutrality and fairness. And she was blathering
Speaker 1: throughout this promo, insisting that the BBC had never taken
Speaker 1: a side in any election or any war. And I
Speaker 1: snorted milk through my nose, and I made a big
Speaker 1: stink about this little thing. In the forties that you
Speaker 1: might remember when when this Hitler guy was sending bombers
Speaker 1: to London just to try to blow up the building
Speaker 1: the BBC was in and bomb its studios and light
Speaker 1: its newscasters on fire. And how at the time BBC
Speaker 1: broadcasts were sending secret coded messages to the French resistance.
Speaker 1: And I said, so, so the BBC did not take
Speaker 1: sides in the Nazi war. To blow up the BBC,
Speaker 1: we're supposed to believe this. I don't think I was
Speaker 1: the only one who complaint, but they did stop running
Speaker 1: the ads once they realized, oh, that's right, we were
Speaker 1: rooting for our own country during the Second World War.
Speaker 1: How unfair of us. The BBC's attitude is very much
Speaker 1: like The New York Times combined the I'm shocked, shocked
Speaker 1: to find that gambling is going on in here line
Speaker 1: from Casablanca, with the arrogance of we are the BBC,
Speaker 1: We do not make mistakes. You must be mistaken about
Speaker 1: our mistake. And then add in a British political controversy
Speaker 1: over funding for the BBC and the BBC's clunky inability
Speaker 1: to handle politics at all. They somehow get and deserve
Speaker 1: criticism for occasionally leaning towards labor, and they get criticism
Speaker 1: for occasionally leaning towards conservatives, And now they get even
Speaker 1: more criticism for even more often leaning towards the Fascist
Speaker 1: Reform Party. And the BBC is reportedly considering bribing Trump
Speaker 1: to drop the suit, even though Trump can't do anything
Speaker 1: to the BBC in America. The BBC news viewers pretty
Speaker 1: much consist of me and a couple of other people
Speaker 1: in America, and a lawsuit in England would almost certainly
Speaker 1: be kicked out of court. My god, BBC, you screwed
Speaker 1: this up. Correct that, and remember Trump is crazy and
Speaker 1: guilty of the underlying principle here. So this is what
Speaker 1: you do. You issue that worldwide apology to everybody who
Speaker 1: has ever lived. And then you tell Trump to go
Speaker 1: f himself, and in fact you debut a show that
Speaker 1: must run on BBC World News every night half an
Speaker 1: hour called Donald Trump, go f yourself. And in that,
Speaker 1: by the way, you can send coded messages to the
Speaker 1: American resistance, just like it did in the Second World
Speaker 1: We are with the French. You used to send messages
Speaker 1: to Charles de Gaulle on BBC Radio. You can send
Speaker 1: me secret messages. Otherwise, BBC you will wind up like ESPN.
Speaker 1: ESPN on Tuesday achieved a new high and low. That
Speaker 1: is where we saw a new Trump symptom come out
Speaker 1: in public, saying the quiet part out loud. Trump was
Speaker 1: the Veterans Day guest of the moronic ESPN daytime host
Speaker 1: Pat McAfee. Why would you have someone on who insulted
Speaker 1: a decorated veteran like John McCain because he was a pow.
Speaker 1: Why would you have them on on Veterans Day, or
Speaker 1: who symbolically spat on the dead at bellow Wood from
Speaker 1: the First World War by calling them suckers and losers.
Speaker 1: Why would you have him on on Veterans Day? Well, one,
Speaker 1: this Pat McAfee is an imbecile. Two Pat McAfee has
Speaker 1: never asked a difficult question of anyone, even just another jock,
Speaker 1: in his life. And three Trump then said the quiet
Speaker 1: part out loud. McAfee said, thanks for joining the show,
Speaker 1: and Trump said, I'm only joining you because I hear
Speaker 1: you say such nice things about me. When people say
Speaker 1: nice about me, I join. When they don't say nice
Speaker 1: about me, I take a pass. So what you had here,
Speaker 1: in addition to Trump saying the quiet part out loud,
Speaker 1: which you had ESPN's resident fluffer platforming America's resident he
Speaker 1: who must always be fluffed, and by the way, not
Speaker 1: only confessing there, but inventing yet another new phrase that
Speaker 1: has never been used by anybody else in the history
Speaker 1: of the world. People say nice about me, nice things
Speaker 1: Donald people say nice about me. People say maybe they're
Speaker 1: just not saying enough nice about him at the Miracle
Speaker 1: Mile Mall in Pennsylvania, which is in Chicago, So send
Speaker 1: in the troops to Las Vegas. Also of interest here,
Speaker 1: so the latest Cash Patel scandal. His girlfriend is suing
Speaker 1: a series of right wing podcasters for claiming that she
Speaker 1: who Patel goes to see using a government plane at
Speaker 1: taxpayer expense, claiming these right wing podcasters did, and she
Speaker 1: is suing over this, the claim that she's actually a spy.
Speaker 1: Keep your eye on the prize cash. That's next. This
Speaker 1: is countdown. This is countdown with Keith Oldwoman. Believe it
Speaker 1: or not, there's still more new idiots to talk about.
Speaker 1: The roundup of the miscrants, moron and then Dunning cruder
Speaker 1: effects specimens who constitute today's other worst persons in the world.
Speaker 1: The bronze shared by some of the Senate Quizzlings. Now
Speaker 1: you may remember from the previous episode that I spent
Speaker 1: rather a lot of time talking about these eight fat heads,
Speaker 1: seven of whom are nominal Democrats and one is an independent,
Speaker 1: and of course there's Fetterman, who's independent of reality. But
Speaker 1: since I did the previous edition of this podcast as
Speaker 1: those eight Quizzlings defected and collaborated with the Nazis of today,
Speaker 1: let me just read you the new quotes that occurred
Speaker 1: after that. Senator Gene Shaheen on Fox and Friends. First off,
Speaker 1: you're on Fox and Friends. You're out of the club.
Speaker 1: I believe there are a number of Republicans who are
Speaker 1: going to join us in trying to address healthcare costs.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be able to continue to fight about healthcare
Speaker 1: because we're gonna have a vote in December. Hun New
Speaker 1: Susan Collins just dropped Dick Durbin. Senator Durbin went up
Speaker 1: to Leader Thun during the vote Sunday night to tell
Speaker 1: him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that
Speaker 1: eight of us are sticking our neck out, that you're
Speaker 1: gonna keep your word. I hope you will, Durban said.
Speaker 1: Thune said, I assure you. I will imagine growing into
Speaker 1: old age like Dick Durbin, and the last thing you
Speaker 1: will be remembered for is believing a Republican promise. You
Speaker 1: have this vote, then you lose it, and you're gonna
Speaker 1: claim a victory. But the best of them. Angus King
Speaker 1: on Mourning Joe, You're on Morning Joe. You're also out
Speaker 1: of the club. Standing up to Donald Trump didn't work, Angus,
Speaker 1: I have one question for you. How the f would
Speaker 1: you know about that? Exactly when in this process did
Speaker 1: you stand up to Donald Trump? You stupid, limp, flaccid
Speaker 1: old man. You know years ago there was a lawsuit
Speaker 1: over this Jack in the Box ran an ad, a
Speaker 1: TV ad that was directed towards the Carls Junior and
Speaker 1: Harta's Angus Berger and a bunch of the executives that
Speaker 1: Jack in the box were shown in this ad laughing
Speaker 1: their heads off and asking what part of the cow
Speaker 1: is the angus? Well, it turns out we have an
Speaker 1: answer to that question. What part of the cow is
Speaker 1: the angus? Well? This senator from Maine who sold out
Speaker 1: the Democrats runner up the Trump administrator, and Bill Poulty,
Speaker 1: the mortgage guy who's trying to get people prosecuted for
Speaker 1: things his own parents did two things. Paulty apparently is
Speaker 1: the one who convinced Trump to support the idea of
Speaker 1: the fifty year mortgage instead of thirties, although Trump thinks
Speaker 1: they're forties, because well, I mean, if you can get
Speaker 1: people to spend their lifetime in debt to a bank,
Speaker 1: there'll be more servile and they'll do what you want,
Speaker 1: and you can control them through things like interest rates.
Speaker 1: I will tell you this, having grown up in the
Speaker 1: period of time in which there was no question that
Speaker 1: you were supposed to grow up and own your own home,
Speaker 1: I have owned five homes around the country. I've owned
Speaker 1: condos and a beautiful house in Connecticut, and if you're
Speaker 1: going to live in the same place and you're going
Speaker 1: to live there for a year longer than your mortgage,
Speaker 1: go ahead and buy it. It makes sense. Then economically
Speaker 1: the rest of the time, you're effing yourself. Rent, don't buy.
Speaker 1: You're only going to be there twenty years. Rent, don't
Speaker 1: buy thirty year mortgage thirty years. You're going to be there.
Speaker 1: Coin toss thirty year mortgage. You're gonna live there for
Speaker 1: thirty years and six months. Okay, you can buy. Otherwise
Speaker 1: you're gonna lose money. Long term, you're gonna lose money.
Speaker 1: You're gonna lose money when you sell. Even if you
Speaker 1: make a huge profit, you're still gonna lose money. Invest
Speaker 1: in something that doesn't get other people profits, a fifty
Speaker 1: year mortgage. That's a great idea, so when you die
Speaker 1: you'll still owe money. Second point, Fanny May is going
Speaker 1: to drop its credit score minimum for mortgages. It's going
Speaker 1: to drop it from lower than six point twenty two.
Speaker 1: Mortgage Giant will instead use its own analysis of risk factors.
Speaker 1: Offici'll say they're easing barriers to borrowing. It's just the
Speaker 1: latest in a series of policy changes aimed at creating
Speaker 1: home ownership opportunities in the United States. Bullshit. It's a
Speaker 1: chance for them to make more mortgages and make money
Speaker 1: off the mortgage process. And then if you don't pay,
Speaker 1: and if millions of you don't pay or can't pay
Speaker 1: later on, we'll just go through what we went through
Speaker 1: in two thousand and eight, and all of these companies
Speaker 1: will come running to the forefront and say, the economy
Speaker 1: will crater if you don't give us the money that
Speaker 1: we wasted on all these mortgages that were there never
Speaker 1: was a chance of anybody being able to afford them
Speaker 1: because we gave them to people who didn't have not
Speaker 1: only their own homes, but their own shoes. They're setting
Speaker 1: up another two thousand and eight financial collapse. Mark it down.
Speaker 1: How many years would this be about in the future,
Speaker 1: like the twenty thirty two financial collapse thanks to Fannie
Speaker 1: May and Bill Poulty and Trump and a fifty year mortgage?
Speaker 1: Why out a three thousand year mortgage? Yes, I'm paying
Speaker 1: off this mortgage. My great great great great great great
Speaker 1: great great great great great great great great great great
Speaker 1: great great great great grandfather the signed up for and
Speaker 1: still is somebody worse than this our winner, Cash Yat
Speaker 1: Pramade Patel, good old Cash of the FBI, we believe
Speaker 1: it or not, is still the director of the FBI,
Speaker 1: even though he never seems to go to work, or
Speaker 1: in fact, never seems to do anything but get on
Speaker 1: government planes and fly to Nashville to see the girlfriend
Speaker 1: who is supposedly a country singer, unless you are a
Speaker 1: right wing podcaster, in which case she's and he and
Speaker 1: there's and that. I can't figure this out. Let me
Speaker 1: just read this from the Times of India, because I'll
Speaker 1: be fed if I can figure this route out without
Speaker 1: an alpenstock and a couple of Saint Bernard's. Right wing
Speaker 1: podcaster Candace Owens has now called for FBI director Cash
Speaker 1: Patel's resignation after his girlfriend Alexis Wilkins sued Elijah Schaeffer
Speaker 1: for five million dollars. Schaefer, a MAGA podcaster, we posted
Speaker 1: a thread on the viral conspiracy theory that Wilkins is
Speaker 1: a massad agent and she honey trapped Cash Patel. Shaefer
Speaker 1: did not add anything on his part to the viral thread,
Speaker 1: but posted a photo of Patel with his girlfriend. Shaeffer
Speaker 1: became the third MAGA operative to have been sued by
Speaker 1: Cash Patel's girlfriend, the other two being Kyle Sarafin, a
Speaker 1: former FBI agent, and Sam Packer, an influencer. Wilkins repeatedly
Speaker 1: dismissed these conspiracy theories about her and asserted that she
Speaker 1: has no connection with Israel, never been there, and she's
Speaker 1: been dating Cash Patel before Patel became the FBI director.
Speaker 1: As the conspiracy theory is being churned by MAGA insiders,
Speaker 1: Three Times of India continues, it is clear that Patel
Speaker 1: has been isolated inside MAGA, and now Candace Owens has
Speaker 1: openly called for Patel's resignation. Quote, Cash Pateel has to
Speaker 1: step down. This is excruciatingly embarrassing. He's a teenager in
Speaker 1: love representing the federal government. When Candace Owen thinks you
Speaker 1: are embarrassing, I'm thinking you're embarrassing. The idea is Patel
Speaker 1: is being attacked by Candace Owens and other MAGA nut
Speaker 1: jobs because the MAGA nut jobs say the girlfriend is
Speaker 1: a spy. Now, she doesn't have a biography anywhere online
Speaker 1: that I could find, but this is from Fox News.
Speaker 1: Quote her father worked for Gillette and her mother was
Speaker 1: in aerospace and pharmaceuticals. They lived in England and Switzerland
Speaker 1: before settling in fayette Vale, Arkansas. When Alexis was nine,
Speaker 1: she attended College du Lemon Lemont International School in Switzerland.
Speaker 1: All Right, England, Switzerland, Arkansas. In the same interview, Wilkins
Speaker 1: said that her father had served in the US Navy
Speaker 1: during the Korean War. He was the son of Armenian
Speaker 1: immigrants who fled genocide. My passion for veterans started through
Speaker 1: conversations with him England, Switzerland, Arkansas, Switzerland for college Korea
Speaker 1: mentor and candidate Armenia. Sounds legit to me. Just you
Speaker 1: add one twist to this. The latest podcaster to get
Speaker 1: sued Schaeffer. Schaeffer. He has now asked for help defending
Speaker 1: himself from the suit from Elon Musk. Everybody's in this
Speaker 1: party cash. Everything seems on the level to me. He's
Speaker 1: not going to suddenly disappear then turn up in Botswana
Speaker 1: having obtained political asylum. No, never, never, No, he's not.
Speaker 1: He's never gonna do that. No, Patel, Today's other worst
Speaker 1: person in the world. Candae Owens thinks you're embarrasable. I
Speaker 1: play the organ on that myself. I've done all the
Speaker 1: damage I can do here. Thank you for listening. Most
