SEASON 2 EPISODE 58: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN

A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Sidney Powell has flipped on Trump in Georgia. And if she's flipped on Trump in Georgia, she has to have either flipped on him in Jack Smith's DC case, or is about to. Because otherwise anything she says on the stand in Atlanta could be used against her in federal court. And she may be, to quote Elmer Fudd, a scwewy wabbit, but she ain't going to Alcatwaz.

GOP's record 3793rd House Speaker vote, short version? Election denier denies election, loses by 22, convinces none of them to vote for him, decides to try it again anyway, is a f***ing idiot. It's so bad Lauren Boebert and Nancy Mace have made inadvertent sex jokes about it.

GAZA LATEST: Joe Biden's speech is so unequivocal and strong it was praised by a Fox News stalwart. AND the Gaza Hospital Scam gets scammier: US Intel says the death toll is 100-300, but a European intel source tells Agence France Presse that THAT'S high and it could be as low as a dozen fatalities. Amazingly, some people will look at this as bad news.

B-Block (29:05) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Governor Jim Pillen of Nebraska, CNN trying to get a Republican debate, Iowa City banning books - but not enough.

C-Block (30:29) FRIDAYS WITH THURBER: Hey, Flip My Kraken! To honor the Trump news, James Thurber's epic profile of Trump even though it was written 15 years before Trump was born: The Greatest Man In The World.
