Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. Hi for one, welcome our new insect overlords, and I welcome them the same way Russian state television did by showing naked pictures.
Of Milania Milania tramp, I will Milania.
If you don't speak Russian, that's Russian for do you have any nude photos of your wife? Would you like some? Thanks to Julia Davis, the invaluable Russian media monitor of The Daily Beast, I think that underscores something. I think that underscores that Putin is running president halfwit and choosing his cabinet for him. That same Russian state TV channel reported neither Mike Pompeo nor Nikki Haley would be in that cabinet, long before Tucker Carlson did, and long before
Trump himself announced it. But moreover, I think the photos are the final reminder to Trump that Trump no longer has any claim on Putin, nor influence on Putin, nor should he expect anything from Putin accept demands and instructions. Two months and nine days before he again seizes power, Trump is a lame duck, and while he and his supporters here will certainly try to get him an unconstitutional third term a it will be quite a feat, even
for fascists and a corrupt judiciary. And b Putin, who did not called to congratulate Trump but waited until Trump called him yesterday or Saturday, is obviously expecting that by the end of twenty twenty eight, Trump will be dead by then, Thank you, Nancy Faust, I would assume if Putin hasn't already selected Trump's successor maybe the name rhymes with squeal On Tusk, maybe it rhymes with JV. Prance, maybe it rhymes with Tucker Carlson. Whatever it is, he's
working on it now. If it's Trump's job to now end birthright citizenship, that could work both ways, couldn't it. If he finds a way to say you're not an American just because you're born here, your parents were born here, surely he can find a way to say you are an American even if you weren't born here. Elon, whoever Putin's choice is, his wife does not have nude photographs that can be run by Russian state television as part of its news coverage of their election. Talk about rubbing
your face in it. It even appears Russia and the Republicans have largely backed away from Robert F. Kennedy Junior and dashed his hopes of becoming anything in the Trump Reich more important than Secretary of Masturbation. Side show. Bobby thought it was his time to shine now, from dead bear cubs to whaleheads to brain worms. The day after
the election, he even laid out his vision. And remember, his vision does not necessarily include anything that can actually be seen, because it does not necessarily include anything that's really happened. Chap has asked me to do three things. Clean up the corruption in our government health agencies, return those agencies to their rich tradition of gold standard evidence based science. Make Merica healthy again by ending the chronic disease epidemic. This is being said by a man who
looks two hundred and six years old. The problem it also looks like he didn't clear that post or the MSNBC interview clip that it plays with Trump or with Russia. As Kennedy went even further and threatened to eliminate all vaccines, the Trumpists finally realized that, like Musk, Kennedy is not there to help the old Man, but to supplant him
inside Trump's camp. CNN Now reports questions have been raised about whether Kennedy could get confirmed or obtain a security clearance necessary for a cabinet level position, and even if he could, they doubt Kennedy would want to go through those processes. Quote, if you dump a bear in Central Park and think you're above the law, you don't want to have to go through that gauntlet of political correctness,
said a former Trump official briefed on the discussion. Trump obviously wants the fewer connections to Central Park as can be arranged. On the other hand, if if Bob has to go back to his world of FaceTime, at least he can focus on getting the nation to come together. No, the election was not stolen, not in the way you're thinking anyway. We Democrats and Liberals just never did fully understand how much into how many people to phrase the
economy only meant supermarket prices and household budgets. And by the way, unlike everybody else telling you what went wrong, I did not know this a week ago, or you know I would have mentioned it. Also, the Democratic Party is not dead. That was not a landslide, and that was not a disaster. As Bill sure, the Politics editor of the Washington Monthly noted Democrats, after losing by two points, our brand is in ashes. We need a complete overhaul.
Republicans after losing by four and a half points, Let's run the same guy again. For the sake of exactitude. It is looking like that final loss number may come in at around one and a half points, which would make Trump's the fiftieth biggest or if you prefer, fifth smallest popular vote margin of all time. But you get the idea, So burn it down, no, retire a lot of people. Yeah, maybe not necessarily looking at you, Chuck Schumer, because there is actually something bigger to face than a
complete overhaul or what if it was stolen? Bigger but happily at least in one sense, more fixable. And let me state this again. The election was not stolen. The numbers do add up. There aren't discrepancies. Kamala Harris got more votes than Jackie Rosen did in Nevada, and Rosen got elected and Kamala didn't. Yes, the Russians did make
bomb threats to keep polling places in the swing states. Yes, the Biden administration is going to do nothing about it, even though they should just turn off the electricity grid in Russia. They're going to do nothing about it, just as the Obama administration did nothing about that in twenty sixteen. Yes, Merrick Garland should be fired live on pay per view, and they should re enact the humiliation scene after the court martial of the Chuck Conners character in the ancient
TV series Branded Only. Instead of the commander breaking the guy soared over his knee, he should break Garland's glasses. But as somebody who still to this day wants to know why they really locked down the vote count in Warren County, Ohio on election night two thousand and four on a laughable claim that al Qaeda was planning to attack Warren County, Ohio, the election was not stolen, not
in the way you're thinking. It was stolen in the sense that the fascists and the anti democracy billionaires have been running a series of illicit, hidden, disguised pro Republican advertisements twenty four seven, three sixty five for at least
thirty years. They have been bombarding the underachievers of this nation, the in cell, the morons, the idiots, the bros, and now the social media addicts of America with a series of easy to digest, sweet tasting conspiracy theories that you cannot trust the government, that you cannot believe the news media, that you cannot think the Democrats can keep you safe. That the economy is disastrous, that they are eating the
cats and they are eating the dogs. That whatever these people might be afraid of or angry at at the moment, that is the fault of the Democratic villain of the moment, Bill Clinton, the Dixie Chicks, Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, me Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and this commercial has been poisoning and addicting the gullible twenty four to seven, three sixty five via the latest technology, dating back to when the latest technology was satellite radio and cable to today when
it's streaming and gaming and sports talk shows that aren't actually about sports. Every day, this is fed to them by literally dozens, probably hundreds of twenty four to seven spigots that look like television news operations or sound like talk shows or podcasts or Twitch game commentary. There's right wing Fox News and further right Newsmax and sneaky further right Sinclair and Crazy Lindell, Pillow TV, and dark subhuman Charlie Kirk TV and Steve Bannon TV and Nick Fuente's TV.
And if you are most susceptible to a bunch of text bros talking about it, they are there to sell it to you. And if no, you need to hear it from a black man, there's Larry Elder, And if no, you need to hear it from a black woman, there's Candice Owens. And know if you need to hear it from a sitting senator, there's Ted Cruz. And if none of that is enough, there is a Sea PAC convention, or a Conservative Women's conference, or an American Greatness Leadership
Summit every other weekend. And finally, if no, that's still not enough, you need to be totally drowning in it, if you need this to be injected directly into your veins. If twenty four seven, three sixty five just isn't enough,
Elon Musk bought Twitter and now we know why. Meanwhile, the Democrats have Oh, MSNBC, You're welcome MSNBC except in the mornings where the anti Trump guy used to be the most virulently pro Trump guy, and except for middays where it's my ex making excuses for Trump and nighttime when the shows are startlingly dull, and the icon of the network vetoed the return of the founding icon of
the network because she is consumed by Peak. There are some pushbacks Midas Network, promising Lincoln Project some podcasts, but the New York Times and Washington Post are dead so blinded by the sheer volume of right wing bullshit that they have been reduced to try to see which one of them can bend over further backward to pander to Trump.
And that's the entirety of the left wing media on the right, hundreds of outlets, some of them underwritten by the Russian government, ultimately unnecessarily so, because American billionaire after American billionaire spends money to make sure that whether three hundred thousand people watch Nick Fuentes or three hundred dew he's on all the time, with all the motivation in the world to stay on, namely all the money in the world and the coordination with the Republican Party, with
the Republican candidates one hundred percent. What do you Joe Rogan need from us Trump? He'll be there, somebody else She'll be there. They'll be there. Just make sure it's at least an hour long, and then you talk about it for another ten days. Over here have some podcasts this one since we started doubling up on YouTube. Between the views and then the verified downloads of the podcast last year through yesterday, the audience is fifty three million,
seven hundred and one, nine hundred and thirty four. Honestly, I don't know if that's a lot or a little. I don't know how many other liberal podcasters have more in that kind of time span. I don't know the names of most of the liberal podcasters. I don't know the name of one liberal streamer. And the next contact I get from the Democratic Party or anybody in it will be the first. If George Sorows is behind all this,
he's not very good at it. The next contact I get from somebody saying, could we put together at twenty four to seven streaming operation and use your podcast or or show your podcast at least for a while, or you know, since you did create MSNBC, maybe you have ideas on how we could do something. As the world of media implodes and there are a thousand outlets and like nine of them are liberal, next time I hear
that that'll be the first two. I'm not trying to sell this podcast, certainly not to you, you're already listening to it. I don't need the money, and I'd like to retire. Actually that was the plan, Kamala. The plan was I got to retire last week. But we aren't just losing the media wars. We're not even fighting back.
The Harris campaign spent like a billion dollars on commercials on television and online, and they spent just as much as every other Democratic campaign and Democratic leader has on the NonStop slerms spigot of streaming propaganda nothing and you know what happens. Then, if you have no new media infrastructure, grassroots or astro turf or Russian sponsored or whatever, not
only can't you sell your candidate. You not only can't lie if you decide you have to or want to, but you can't tell the online audience the truth about the fascists. They hear one thing everywhere and assume that's the marketplace of ideas. We're not only not even in the marketplace of ideas, We're not only not set up at the marketplace of ideas, we don't even know where the marketplace of ideas is you go down here, make seventeen laughs, and then you're there and you know what happens.
Then the New Republic Greg Sargeant got a look at the real internal Harris research quote. It proved disturbingly difficult to persuade undecided voters that Trump had been a bad president. Internal testing in all the battleground states over the course of many months yielded a result that unnerve the campaign.
According to a senior Harris campaign operative who has seen the data, it was this undecided voters didn't believe that some of the highest profile things that happened during Trump's presidency, even if they saw these things negatively, were his fault. Quote. People gave him a total pass because of COVID. The operative says there was frustration inside the campaign that voters
turned the massive job losses into a non issue. Added a second Democratic operative, privy to internal data, unquote, same on convincing them about social security cuts to come, or even that he made social security cuts last time. Same on abortion. On abortion, they gave him a pass on appointing the Supreme Court justices who perjured themselves and then gutted Roe v. Wade. Quoting again from Greg Sargent and the internal Harris polling. That's because they didn't believe Trump
himself was sincerely anti choice. These voters thought he's ambivalent about abortion because many didn't think he had core principles, so he won because he didn't have any principles. As in aside, we have now entered the era of post principles, post character, post belief, post policy presidential campaigns. Twenty five years ago, we all mocked the idea that George Bush had won because as an afterthought, he was the one you would prefer to have a beer with. Today it's
the only thing in the campaign. It's only about having the metaphorical beer. You can see it in retrospect even with Obama. McCain was a grumpy old man. Romney was a grumpy younger man with a two slick by a half voice. Trump. They liked Trump from TV. They got sick of him in twenty twenty. Friends of theirs had died, but they missed his entertainment value, and they forgot about
their dead friends the end, and prices were higher. If I had to pick one Democrat today as the twenty twenty eight nominee, and I couldn't Convince Taylor Swift or Missus Obama. I'd pick John Fetterman. I think John Fetterman might be crazy. I rabibly agree with John Fetterman on about thirty percent of issues. But he's a great character, perfect for the unrealistic world the election deciding part of America now lives in, and the Left is not in
that world at all. Oh yeah, and if you don't have a twenty four to seven three sixty five media infrastructure, when the economy is robust and inflation is rolling back and the recovery is the best in the world, you have no way to convince anybody that that's true, and that the prices at the gas pump and that the wah wah and the sheets are happening to rise and stay risen because the corporations and billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk and Trump, they're the ones who raise
the prices and stole the money out of your household budgets. They are the guilty parties. We should be screaming that, except there's nobody here to scream. There's nobody to tell these people that the Republicans will tell them anything. If you don't have the infrastructure. You can't drill it into their heads that Trump is insane, that an outright abortion ban is coming, that he almost killed them in twenty twenty, and now he's going to try to do it again.
If you don't have the media infrastructure, and the political world has devolved into media wars, you're gonna lose. All right, we lost, that's right. Different. By the way, I am not pushing this podcast as the mob for everything the left needs to do to save the country. If that's still on the table. I'm going to be sixty six in two months. God helped me a week after the inauguration. If I survived the week after the inauguration, I am
too old to run this crap. I might be able to help start it, though, then retire to the old Sports Center home in Bristol, Connecticut. Yeah, A, thank you very much, Nancy Faust. I mean. In two thousand and four and two thousand and five, Liz Winstead and Al Franken and a bunch of very talented liberals launched an all liberal radio network in hopes of countering Limbaugh and
Savage and Hannity and O'Reilly. And they got like six listeners and Mattow was one of the hosts, and she had so not succeeded that when Tucker Carlson MSNBC show began to die, they had to, for budget reasons, fire one of the two liberal foils they used to have on to counter Tucker Carlson, So they kept Max Kellerman
and fired Rachel Maadow. Meanwhile, at MSNBC, NBC's attempt to go further to the right than Fox had failed so badly that they had fired everybody and were preparing to run the little nightly news show they had called Countdown, and then at nine pm every night turned the rest of the night and much of the day and the whole weekend over to prison documentaries, basically ten to fifteen
hours a day of prison documentaries. Nobody at NBC News headquarters even bothered to watch MSNBC anymore so when I started to go anti war and anti phony terrorism warnings and anti Bush. By the time management even noticed we were a hit, and instead of throwing me in the trunk of a car, they handed me an armored car
full of cash. And still I was mocked on the left as doing this for ratings, as trying to be the left's bill O'Reilly, and I was mocked for trying to launch other shows hosted by liberals on MSNBC rather than tenaciously and viciously holding on to my liberal TV monopoly. To this day, liberal media is mocked. It is territorial, It is spiteful, it is amateurish, It is tiny, and it is unplanned. And when it was unplanned in two thousand and five and MSNBC sprung out of it organically,
that was a good thing. Surprise. Right now, it's a fatal thing. We don't have a billionaire supporting anything. We don't have a Joe Rogan. We don't even have a Keith Olberman, a young Keith Olderman. And you know the joke one, who's this Keith Olberman guy? Two? Get me Keith Olberman. Three, get me a Keith Olverman.
Four?
How about a young Keith Olberman five? Whatever happened to Keith Oldman? Six? Keith Houberman? Okay, a lot of self indulgence today. On the other hand, it may be unseemly, but it ain't untrue. I will sum this up. If Democrats think they can win with their media ecosystem, ooh, phone banks. If they think they can win the midterms in twenty twenty six or the presidency in twenty twenty eight. This way, if there is an election, if they think
we can win, we are crazy. Oh and by the way, the fascist media ecosystem I described earlier with its thousands tentacles, has already begun to support the cancelation of the twenty twenty eight election. Yeah, it began last year. They started to do this last year. Well. A twenty second amendment ononium plies two consecutive terms a third trip. If we are not ready to shoot back and win the streaming wars within a year's time, we should instead devote our
energies to fleeing. Also of interest here, the good news is the Trump wresh primary and most effective opponent at the moment is the Trump Wresch. We have finally found out what is behind the push to deport immigrants. It's not to deport them, it's to detain them. Because it turns out the profits are in detaining them. And guess which industry is all ready to make those profits. And from no less an ass kissing source than Politico, Trump World has devolved into a quote dick fight for dominance
between Chris las Avida and Corey Lewandowski. Now see here's where side show Bobby Kennedy could reassert himself, right, that's next. This is Countdown. This is Countdown with Keith Olberman. This is the Countdown podcast. And these are the places where there are postscripts to the news, some headlines, some updates,
some snark, some predictions, par lago. This is from Politico on Thursday, and I read it altering only a couple of words, because as salty as I am, I really do believe I have an F bomb quota and this would put me way over it for like the whole year and next. And I read it in full because this is what winning looks like in the maga hellscape
of our new insect overlords. Quote los Sevita's revenge. Backstage at Donald Trump's watch party Tuesday night, before the now president elect took the stage, the notoriously pugnacious Cory Lewandowski did something a bit unusual. He extended an olive branch to a foe. After being brought into the campaign fold in late summer, Lewandowski was sidelined by Trump for trying to elbow his way to the top and causing drama
with the team. The man who had been Trump's first campaign manager in the twenty sixteen cycle had been locked in what a GOP official once described to us as a quote dick fight for dominance with Chris los Savita, who was running the twenty twenty four show with Susie Wiles before he left this year's campaign. Trump officials believe Lewandowski planted a slew of negative stories about los Aveta, including one in The Daily Beast that suggested he personally
banked millions off Trump campaign entities over two years. When Trump saw the story, he reportedly flipped out and confronted Losaveta, who pulled up bank statements and FEC reports to argue the story was wrong. He wasn't swindling Trump that the money sent to his businesses overwhelmingly went to pay for
campaign ads. By Tuesday, as Trump basked in the limelight of his election, Lewandowski apparently saw the writing on the wall and realized that he needed to make peace with a man who had won back Trump's trust and shepherded him to victory. He extended a hand to las Avita and offered a congratulations. Instead of shaking his hand, la Savita pointed to him square in the chest and tore into him. According to people familiar with the EXCHANGEF you you and F you you have f't with the wrong person.
I'm going to effing destroy you. Lasavita and the RNC now appear to be teaming up to do just that. Yesterday, a lawyer working on their behalf sent a legal threat to The Daily Beast demanding the story be corrected and or retracted. In fact, they later did change the story to say the money went to the companies, not to him personally. Notably, the RNC hired Mark Garrigos, a hard hitting criminal defense lawyer whose roster of former clients includes
Michael Jackson. That's the right one to have. In the letter, Garrigos asserts the story as categorically false. Blah blah blah. But Los Savita and the RNC aren't stopping there. We're told that in the days ahead they plan to send letters to others involved in the story. And since the letter clearly points to Lewandowski for providing the publication with unreliable information in a blatant act against mister los Avita and the RNC, we can guess what's going to be
showing up in Lewandowski's mailbox soon. Meanwhile, The Daily Beast is reporting that Lewandowski personally says he won't be joining the administration. No shocker there. The campaign is over. We're focused on delivering the promises. Ah blah blah blah blah. Las Sevita declined to comment, but around the time we reached out about this tip, he tweeted a picture of
HBO's famous mob boss Tony Soprano flipping the bird. If you know why I'm posting this, then well you know, Lasavita wrote, So as we continue to watch in horror at the Democrats post mortem, hey there's too much post and not enough mortem circular firing squad, Let's just remember this sweet little image of Lasovita planning to destroy Lewandowski, and remember that this is why all the fascists are
in politics, just for that kind of bloodlust. Let's just remember that that is how they behave after they have won. Mister Lsavita, mister Lewandowski, more of this. Please. We are the Democrats. We are great at circular firing squads. But we bow to you with amazed respect that you can do it in literally the moments after a presidential election. If you need any further advice on circular firing squad logistics,
just ask. We can't do much to destroy you for two years at least, but hot dam you seem ready and willing to destroy yourselves. And this is the subject that I can get all bi partisan about Wall Street. The day after Trump's election, Stock in a company called Geogroup Inc. Rose forty one percent. Stock in its rival, core Civic Inc. Went up twenty nine percent. And because those numbers did what they did, we now know what
the old man's Trump purge is actually all about. All of the immigration issues and all of the deportation issues, and all of the roundups, and all of the camps and all the rest of the hate. What do Geogroup and core Civic do they build and run private prisons. Group already has contracts with Immigration ice to the tune of a billion dollars. I'm the editor in chief of
the Ohio Capital Journal, David DeWitt quote. To deport twenty million people a number Trump has claimed they need to build massive camps, deportation detention camps where people are concentrated. To handle such massive numbers, Brokers are speculating a nice windfall for a private prison giant on the backs of
millions of families being put in camps unquote. Apart from the obvious, the other thing that disturbs me about this is I made a joke about this last week about how if you order forty thousand prefab concentration camps from Jeff Bezos's Amazon, it'll be free delivery. Never dawned on me, even after all this, It never dawned on me. And that's sure. There's hate, treated racism and cruelty, but basically Trump is in the immigration and deportation thing because it's
another source of income. Brussels NATO headquarters, while the understandably upset members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization wonder what's next for, you know, not being overrun by a Russian war against Europe while Trump is playing with his toes. There is the reverse angle on this if you are Canada or England or France or Germany or any other
country with a halfway decent intelligence operation. After Trump's clear indebtedness to Putin became evident again and the Republican Party's subsummation by Russia, and the evidence already out in public about all the classified documents he read aloud to passers by and book publishers and stole last time, Why would you ever share intelligence with the United States of America? Again? Better yet, how could you now resist not sharing with
Trump the wrong intel? Fake intelligence, like documents showing that Putin is going to invade Uranus or something, just to see how long it would be before it's surfaced somewhere else dateline Silicon Valley now comes the revenge of the tech pros Mark Andresen, who invented something with computers? Who knows they'll never remember him who invented the flash drive? You have any idea who cares? He was a Democrat, then his net worth dropped by a million or something
due to taxes. Now he's a Trumpist, and he wants nothing less than the prosecution of everybody who doesn't give Elon Musk money. I have no doubt. He writes that the orchestrated advertiser boycotts and censorship operations of the last decade have been criminal conspiracies. They all need to end right now. Everyone involved in the long standing illegal joint government university company censorship apparatus should take care to preserve
their files and communications. Sunlight is coming. The orchestrated advertiser boycott against X and popular podcasts must end immediately, and restraint of trade is a prosecutable crime. Here it is send musk three dollars. Oh, you're going to be in big trouble. Date Line, Dallas. The NFL Dallas Cowboys did their Veterans Day salute a day early. They had a perfect built in honoree their first coach, the man who almost single handedly made them into America's team for owner
Jerry Jones made them into America's laughingstock. Their first coach, Tom Landry, was a World War II bomber pilot who flew twenty six missions over occupied Europe, including one where they evaded the German guns but kind of ran out of gas and had to crash land in Belgium. They honored Tom Landry on the Cowboys scoreboard during the game yesterday, complete with a photo of him in his trademark coaches hat,
and they misspelled Tom Landry's name. It spelled la n d r Y his old team, but Dallas Cowboys spelled it la U n d r Y Laundry. Coach Tom Laundry, We honor Tom Laundry, talk about whitewashing history. Worst Person's next new format for at least this episode. Before we go, there are still more new idiots to talk about. The daily roundup of the misgrants, morons and Dunning Kruger Effects Best Samenzo constitute today's other worst persons in the World
Bronze Worse. Eric Adams, mayor of New York City Gotham Fun City, Don't blame me, I voted for the garbage Commissioner, Lady. Recent polling has indicated that seventy percent of New Yorkers now want him to resign because seven percent seven seven the number between six and eight seven percent believe he has not committed a crime. His approval ratings he doesn't have any he has disapproval ratings. He actually is at strong approval by seventeen percent of African American New Yorkers.
Adams has now revealed that he has done exactly what you would do if you face the city ready to seriously reconsider Andrew Wiener or Andrew Cuomo to replace you, apologize, address the residents on TV No. He has called Trump insisted he did not discuss his own criminal case with Trump, did not say pardon me. President elect did not talk about joining the Republican Party. Can you see where he's going with this? Though? The runner up, Congressman Seth Moulton
of Massachusetts. Just when you thought Tulsey Gabbard was the biggest moron to seek the Democratic nomination for president in twenty twenty, there's this imbecile from the New York Times circular firing squad time Seth happily brought nail clippers. Representative Seth Moulton of Massachusetts suggests that the party should shift its approach to transgender issues. Quote. Democrats spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone, rather than being
brutally honest about the challenge as many Americans face. Mister Moulton said, I have two little girls. I don't want them getting run over on a playing fee by a male and formerly mail athlete. But as a Democrat, I'm supposed to be afraid to say that. Multon who is an imbecile, promptly saw his press spokesman and top advisor
resign in protest. He has since doubled down on his remarks and says he's confused because the Massachusetts State Democratic chairperson will not return his calls, his calls, including his call insisting that the way forward for the Democratic Party after the presidential loss and the House loss and the Senate loss is to become transphobic. That that's the wave of the future, that's the slogan Democrats. We now hate
transgendered people. And he wants to do this because of the zero point zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero one percent chance that his little gals get run over during a sporting event by one of the what do transgender athletes in Massachusetts scholastic sports? You know what's likelier that Seth Moulton's daughters will be run over on a playing field by Seth Moulton because he's so totally
lost he runs out onto the playing field. You are supposed to be afraid to say something like that, Congressman. It's hateful, barbarous, likely to get somebody hurt, indicates that you're a bigot, no moron, and since you're too stupid to understand any of that, consider it in these terms. It will end your political career. But our winner the worst Emerald Robinson. Emerald Robinson used to be a correspondent for One American News. Consider that job for a moment.
Is she crazy? Yeah, very much, so hire her immediately. Did you see her last report? I did give her a raise. She's even crazier than we thought. Then they realized she was making stuff up and she was too crazy even for them, So One American News fired her, and she was hired by Newsmax for two years, and then they realized she was making stuff up and she was too crazy even for them, and they fired her.
And now she's on Mike Lindell's website Frank, which they call Frank because Chairman of the Board TV was taken Lindell. I'm sorry, Trump's Secretary of the Department of Pillows and Homeland betting. Mike Lindell is two nuts to notice anything. So Emerald Robinson is still on there, apparently doing stuff like what she wrote about the Senate race in Arizona. It's all you need to know about this in advance. It's the Senate race somebody called a suburban black man. Yeah,
in Moscow. The vote count in the Arizona Senate race between Carrie Lake R And Reuben Diego d hasn't moved in hours, and we're supposed to think this is all totally normal. Meanwhile, Trump flipped Arizona with ease. It makes sense. And she retweeted this and said it's called cheating. Now you ready for the operative part. Democrats are trying to flip the house by cheating. It's the Senate race, dimbolb Senate Diego defeating Lake was for the Senate. Has nothing
to do with flipping the house. The House and the Senate are two different things. Yeah, I know, surprised me too when I was six. There's nothing to do with flipping the house or not flipping the house, or flipping the pancakes. Also, Emerald, why would the Democrats cheat to steal the Arizona Senate vote but not the Arizona Electoral College vote? You idiot? There is a reason. Emerald Robinson's Wikipedia profile begins Emerald Robinson is an American broadcaster and
conspiracy theorist. Unquote like she has a freaking degree in it. I majored in conspiracy theory. Actually, we don't know where she majored or what she majored in, because her bio has no date of birth or personal data, like whether she's originally from this planet or what her names used to be. It mentions that she used to be an actress. IMDb is far more informative. It tells us she was Ruthie in You, Me and Five Bucks. I believe Laurence
Olivier was in that. But her breakout role was in the twenty sixteen hit Miracles from Heaven, where she played Woman with Big Hair Emerald. That was part of the Woman with Big Hair trilogy. Woman with Big Hair, Woman with Bigger Hair, and woman whose hair was so big it crushed her cervical vertebrae. Robinson two days worst person then, don't tell anybody, But like half this episode was music done all the damage I can do here ro let the music do the damage for me. Thank you for listening.
Follow me for the podcast promo videos on Blue Sky YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, x, Instagram, threads, and fred Face, but no longer on TikTok. They banned me from TikTok for sharing a satirical anti Trump meme. There'll be a camp for that soon enough. Brian Ray and John Phillips Shaneil, the musical directors, have Countdown Arrange produced and performed most of our music. Mister Chanelle handled orchestration and keyboards. Mister Ray was on the guitars, bass
and drums. It was produced by Tko Brothers. Our satirical and fifty musical comments are by the best baseball stadium organist ever, Nancy Faust. And yes, that little joke at the beginning, I staged that entirely. Nancy's not mad that I know of sports music is the Olderman theme from ESPN two, which was written by Mitch Warren Davis courtesy of ESPN Inc. Other music arranged and performed by the
group No Horns Allowed. My announcer today was my ever faithful friend Larry David, and everything else is pretty much my fault. That's countdown for today, just one, five hundred and thirty two days until the scal sled end of the term of lame duck President Trump. The next scheduled countdown is Thursday. Still playing this scheduling by EAR. I may do shorter ten minute editions as the news warrants, if that works for you, and then two main ones
during the week. Let's see as always bulletins as the news warrants till the next one. I'm Keith Olderman, good morning, good afternoon, goodnight, and good luck. Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. For more podcasts from iHeartRadio, visit the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
