Countdown with Keith Olderman is a

0:06

production of iHeartRadio.

0:21

Judge Tanya Chuckchin must revoke

0:23

Trump's bail in the election subversion

0:26

case in Washington and order him

0:28

to jail. Somebody somewhere

0:31

has to begin to use the law against

0:35

Trump rather than continuing

0:37

to enable him to use it

0:39

against America. Trump

0:42

has now violated his gag order

0:44

in the Washington case, and he

0:46

has violated the terms of his release on

0:49

bail in the Washington case. And

0:51

he has confessed he did

0:53

too want to go watch his militias

0:56

attack the capital on January

0:58

sixth. He

1:01

can't talk about witnesses, quote,

1:03

concerning their potential participation

1:05

in the investigation or in this criminal

1:08

proceeding, which is exactly

1:10

what he did do in Manitawac,

1:12

Wisconsin, as he first called

1:14

Cassidy Hutchinson crazy, then

1:17

claimed she changed her testimony

1:19

about how he tried to convince the Secret Service

1:21

to take him to the capitol on January sixth,

1:23

and then admitted he did try to

1:25

convince the Secret Service to take

1:27

him to the capital on January sixth,

1:29

meaning he has been

1:32

lying all this time. The

1:34

gag order and bail violation first.

1:37

Instead Davy I want to go down

1:39

These people are crazy.

1:41

And then I think she changed your testimony.

1:43

You heard that because the people testified that

1:45

none of this stuff happened. Now these

1:47

people are crazy.

1:48

And Trump confesses to the meaningful

1:51

part of Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony

1:54

that as his scum organized

1:56

to try to sack the capital and

1:59

kill legislators and maybe the vice

2:01

president and begin his coup attempt,

2:03

he wanted to be

2:05

there to watch. I

2:08

sat in the back, and you know what

2:10

I did say.

2:11

I said, I'd like to go down there because I see a lot

2:13

of people walking down They said, sir, it's better

2:15

if you don't.

2:16

I say, we I'd like to add.

2:17

Better off you don't. All right, whatever you guys think is funny.

2:19

There can be no further evasion

2:22

of this while under threat

2:24

of imprisonment. If he violates

2:26

the gag order in the hush money election interference

2:29

case in New York. He has

2:31

now violated the gag order in the election

2:34

subversion case in Washington. Judge

2:36

Chutkin has no further

2:39

excuses revoke his bail.

2:42

Somebody, for once, for God's

2:44

sake, for America's preservation,

2:47

draw the line in the sand,

2:50

put Donald Trump in jail

2:53

now. Trump

2:57

had not given a rally since his rage fest

2:59

in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, on April

3:01

thirteenth. And if you are wondering why

3:03

not these little issues

3:05

of violating his bail and violating

3:08

the gag order and confirming Cassidy

3:10

Hutchinson's testimony, if they do not provide

3:12

sufficient explanation, here's

3:16

why not. He has gone

3:18

absolutely nuts. Can't

3:20

talk, can't pronounce things,

3:23

can't tell up from down, and

3:26

can't subtract the number three

3:28

from a number four.

3:30

Three years ago, we

3:32

were a great nation and we will soon

3:34

be a great nation again.

3:36

Vagan restaurant supposed to be really good.

3:39

I'm not into the Vagan stuff, I must

3:41

say.

3:41

But I'm gonna have to try this.

3:44

When we come here in a short period

3:46

of time until Milwaukee, We're going to come

3:48

and try that Vagan food. With the GOP

3:50

growth plunging by more than fifty

3:53

percent, one point two trillion dollars

3:55

for their fake infrastructure.

3:57

Share power, ah, Yes,

4:00

the good old days. Once again, we

4:02

return to Trumps

4:05

Infra structure parrot

4:08

week, infra struck

4:11

sure parrot. And

4:15

by the way, I am

4:17

kind of agnostic about the campus

4:19

protests. But if anybody involved

4:21

in them or sympathizing

4:23

with them really thinks Trump

4:26

would be a better option for

4:29

Gosins, or for Palestine,

4:31

or for those of Arab descent or

4:33

Muslims or Jews,

4:36

or basically anybody except

4:38

pasty white guys, you

4:40

are nuts.

4:42

Crooked Joe is now reportedly planning

4:44

this is wonderful news for you people in

4:46

Wisconsin to bring massive

4:48

numbers of Gosins from the Middle

4:50

East or

4:53

alive to your American towns, your

4:55

towns and villages under no circumstance

4:58

issue. We bring thousands of refugees

5:00

from hamas control terrorists

5:02

epicenters like Gaza to America.

5:05

On day one of the Trump presidency,

5:07

I'm restoring the travel band, suspending

5:10

refugee admissions.

5:12

Muslim ban, and no gasen refugees

5:15

Donald Trump's policy. Every

5:18

day, we continue to permit depraved

5:21

Jay Trump to participate

5:23

in our national political discourse.

5:26

We play with fire

5:29

because somebody is lying,

5:32

and somebody is crazy,

5:35

and somebody is racist, and

5:37

somebody is violating every

5:40

law on the books, and somebody

5:43

is an existential threat

5:45

to our lives. And

5:49

it's Trump and

5:55

is the Wall Street Journal reporter Evan

5:57

Gereshkovich still being

5:59

held prisoner by the Russian

6:01

government because Putin and

6:03

Trump maid some sort of deal to

6:06

keep him there, or perhaps

6:08

because Putin told Trump that

6:10

he was going to keep him there to try to improve

6:12

Trump's chances of election in the fall. And

6:15

as Trump just let that cat

6:17

out of the bag about some kind

6:20

of sick, demented deal that keeps

6:22

an American journalist, an American citizen,

6:24

an American hostage in Russia

6:27

and thwarts this nation's efforts to

6:29

free him. We

6:31

know that via proxies,

6:34

Nixon helped stall the Vietnam peace talks

6:36

in nineteen sixty eight until after that election.

6:39

And we know that via proxies,

6:42

Reagan made sure American diplomats

6:44

remained hostage in Iran in nineteen eighty

6:46

until after that election. And we know Trump

6:49

has a team in the field today

6:51

worldwide conducting illegal

6:54

shadow diplomacy, reassuring

6:56

our enemies to ignore the actual

6:59

American government. And this disloyal

7:01

conspiracy by Trump and his minions

7:04

is power full enough and influential

7:06

enough that far right Polish president Dudah

7:08

met Trump in Manhattan a week ago, and

7:11

the Hungarian fascist Orbond was

7:13

at marri Lago in March, and even the

7:15

former failed British Prime Minister

7:17

now Foreign Minister David Cameron went

7:20

there and fed the narrative that Trump

7:22

cares about any other country

7:25

longer than it would take him to assess whether

7:28

or not that country will help him get power, get

7:30

money and get out of going to jail. Here

7:34

and then there is the ever consuming

7:37

unsolved issue of Trump's role

7:40

with Putin. Is Trump

7:43

the blackmail victim? Is

7:45

he the marionette?

7:47

Is he the Rubles recipient? Whichever

7:50

way it finally proves Trump

7:52

has been compromised by Russia,

7:54

it would seem the manipulation of the life

7:56

of one poor guy who is

7:59

just reporting on the Wagner Group wouldn't

8:01

be that heavy a lift for Trump

8:04

or Putin to manipulate further.

8:07

But the slip Trump has now made

8:09

it was buried in the extraordinary mountain

8:11

of horrors. In the Time magazine

8:13

interviews with Eric Cordlessa, It's

8:16

just so odd that

8:18

if and when you hear Trump bring

8:20

up the Biden administration's inability

8:23

to get the Wall Street Journal's reporter released

8:26

and start campaigning on it, you will

8:28

know that that's just the back end

8:30

of another big Trump putin

8:33

fix It starts

8:35

with this salient reality. If

8:37

not a Biden failure, this certainly

8:40

is not a Biden's success. For

8:42

Trump's crowd, this is an easy to digest

8:45

story among journalists. It is understandably

8:48

a cause celeb which

8:50

they will give the benefit of the doubt to. And Trump

8:53

has tried to own the subject

8:55

of American hostages in the past.

8:57

They never would have been taken. He would have gotten

8:59

them released, He would have gotten them home safely

9:02

out o Warmbier. Notwithstanding,

9:05

and yet Trump has been stone cold silent

9:08

about Gershkovich. It's

9:10

worth reviewing the transcript of the Time

9:13

interview. Cord Alessa asked

9:15

Trump, quote, we just passed the one year

9:17

anniversary of Evan Gershkovich's

9:20

detainment in Russia. Why haven't

9:22

you called for his release? Trump

9:25

flails. I guess because

9:28

I have so many things I'm working on. I

9:30

have hundreds of things, and I probably

9:32

have said very good

9:34

things about him. Maybe it wasn't

9:37

reported. Probably

9:41

even for a man with as

9:43

profound a series of brain dysfunctions

9:46

as Trump has, that is a

9:48

remarkable word. I

9:51

probably have said very good things about

9:54

him. In

9:56

point of fact. As late as March twenty ninth, Trump

9:59

and separately his campaign were

10:01

pressed for answers about

10:03

Garshkovich's imprisonment the

10:05

Wall Street Journal. His employer

10:08

asked in print, why the silence,

10:12

Sir? Trump

10:14

did not answer. Trump's

10:16

campaign did not answer.

10:19

But back to this time interview, he

10:21

is again asked if he will call for

10:24

Geshkovich's release. The exact

10:26

question does not mention the man's name, It simply

10:29

will you do it now? Trump replies,

10:32

you're talking about Wall Street

10:34

Journal. He can't

10:36

even remember the name of the man mentioned thirty

10:38

seconds earlier in the interview. Oh, I would

10:40

certainly call I'll call for it

10:43

right now in your story if you'd like. But

10:45

I do have many many things. So

10:48

far, it's just the usual word salad and

10:51

backfill and bullshit tinged

10:53

with something that sounds reads

10:56

at least like fear, maybe

10:59

fear of saying the wrong thing from

11:01

Putin's perspective. But then

11:03

comes the slip quote,

11:06

here's a difference between me and Biden.

11:09

I'll get him released. He'll

11:11

be released. Putin

11:14

is going to release him.

11:23

However, did he come up with that? How

11:27

in the hell would Trump

11:29

know that Putin

11:32

is going to release him. How

11:35

in the hell does this man whose entire life has

11:37

been spent not giving black and white

11:39

answers to anything, whose spirit

11:41

animal is the waffle, How

11:45

in the hell does he go from

11:47

not remembering Evan Gereshkovich's

11:50

name one minute to guaranteeing

11:52

something that in the real world seems

11:54

more remote every second. I'll

11:57

get him released. He'll be released. Putin

11:59

is going to release him. And

12:03

then it gets amazing weirder.

12:06

Trump wanders into criticism of Ukraine

12:08

and then back again. Quote. I get along

12:11

very well with Putin, but the reporter

12:13

should be released, and he will be released.

12:15

I don't know if he's going to be released. Under Biden,

12:18

I would get him released. Yes, I'm

12:21

surprised with Biden. Well, I'm not surprised

12:23

with anything with Biden. But I think it's a terrible

12:25

precedent. Unquote who

12:29

knows what he means by a terrible precedent.

12:31

But you can almost hear the mice

12:34

running around in that one wheel, still

12:37

powering Trump's enfeebled mind.

12:39

He's desperately trying to figure out what to

12:42

say without saying. Putin

12:44

is holding the reporter until

12:47

releasing him. Helps Trump.

12:50

What he does say is quote,

12:52

I'm very surprised he hasn't been released,

12:55

but I will get him released if

12:57

he's not released by the time we

13:00

get to office.

13:04

So Trump gets baited into talking

13:06

about someone he has clearly been told

13:08

not to talk about an

13:11

a matter of fact, he guarantees that

13:13

Putin will release him. He then

13:15

guarantees Putin will not release

13:17

him under Biden, and finally he offers

13:20

both remaining scenarios that he Trump

13:24

will get Gershkovich released

13:26

if Gereshkovich has not been

13:29

released by the time we get

13:31

to office. In other words,

13:34

get him released in that window between

13:36

the election and the inauguration, by

13:39

which point Putin would know Garshkovich

13:42

would have no more value as a hostage

13:44

and his release would only work to Trump's benefit.

13:49

It stinks, and

13:52

as the disloyal treachery of Nixon on Vietnam

13:55

and Reagan on the Iran hostages

13:57

shows, it's not even unique to Trump.

14:00

It's a Republican oldie,

14:02

but goodie Trump just

14:05

no longer retains enough

14:07

control of his bodily functions,

14:10

including his brain, to not spill

14:12

the beans. So

14:15

let me ask it again. Is the Wall

14:17

Street Journal reporter Evan Gereshkovich

14:20

still being held prisoner by

14:23

the Russian government because Putin

14:26

and Trump have some sort

14:28

of agreement to keep

14:30

him there. My

14:37

thanks as always to the estimable Brian

14:39

Bouler for bringing this up in his story.

14:43

Also of interest here, Marjorie

14:48

Taylor Green wants to make the country

14:50

safe for people who proclaim

14:53

that the Jews crucified Jesus

14:58

Jesus H. Christ. That's

15:01

next. This is countdown.

15:05

This is countdown with Keith

15:07

Alberman. The

15:29

procession is endless once

15:32

again, still more new

15:35

idiots to talk about. Yes,

15:37

it's the daily roundup of the miss Grants, morons

15:39

and Dunning Kruger effect specimens who constitute

15:42

today's wor worst best

15:45

persons in the world, World Lebrons

15:49

worse. Do you like

15:51

watching the sports on the television? Yeah,

15:54

well, good luck. Diamond

15:56

Sports and Bally

15:58

Sports. And if you remember, these are the companies

16:01

running countless regional sports

16:03

TV networks across the country. It

16:05

went bankrupt last year and it stopped pumping

16:08

hundreds of millions of dollars into the sports

16:10

industry, and things got so bad so

16:12

fast that by September, the San Diego

16:15

Padres basically had no money left to

16:17

meet payroll, and they had to get

16:19

an emergency loan of fifty million dollars,

16:21

and then they had to trade superstar Jan Soto

16:23

to the Yankees. In bankruptcy,

16:27

Diamond Sports and Bally Sports keeps

16:30

televising all or some of the games

16:33

of fifty one different teams in baseball,

16:35

football, basketball, hockey, soccer. It

16:38

has managed to stay alive and on the

16:40

air with about eighty percent

16:42

of the nation's cable carriers, but

16:45

not with Comcast Cable.

16:48

The deal expired no new deal,

16:50

so at eleven PM Tuesday night, as

16:53

your Nashville Predators, What

16:56

a Wonderful name, began their comeback

16:58

that would end with them beating the Vancouver

17:00

Canucks to stay alive and their opening

17:03

round NHL Playoff series. Editors

17:05

fans watching on Bally Sports

17:07

South on Comcast suddenly

17:09

saw the game disappear

17:12

by Felicia, please

17:15

enjoy instead. This colorful

17:17

test pattern and no

17:19

Comcast in Bally Sports have not resolved

17:22

it. The game was, however, on

17:24

the Turner Playoff broadcast,

17:26

where the promo announcer has described

17:29

the Vancouver team as the Kanucks

17:33

really working at a turner. The Runners up

17:35

worser Jordan Conradson

17:38

and Kevin munklaw they are

17:40

right wing conspiracy theorists and political

17:42

writers and sources, and how bad are their

17:44

reputations? The lawsuit

17:46

by Shane Moss and Ruby Freeman against

17:49

the right wing conspiracy site and propaganda

17:51

outlet Gateway Pundit has

17:53

produced evidence that the director of operations

17:56

at Gateway Pundit they

17:58

have won, and their associate

18:01

editor they have one of those traded

18:03

text messages quote expressing

18:06

major concerns as to the professionalism,

18:09

reliability and honesty of several contributors,

18:11

including Jordan Conradson, expressing

18:14

concerns that a contributor engaged in plagiarism

18:17

and made claims without any sources

18:20

unquote. This is according to the newspaper

18:22

The Guardian. The Guardian does not

18:24

quote anything any kind of text

18:26

or anything else about Conradson directly,

18:28

but about the other guy, Mankla. There

18:31

is a reported text from Gateway Pundit's

18:33

lawyer. They had a lawyer to reading.

18:37

Quote Mankla is a known fabricator.

18:39

I wouldn't touch publish anything he

18:41

produces a goddamned fraud.

18:45

Now understand what this means within

18:48

the context of far right circles.

18:50

People say, yeah, I read that, but

18:52

I read it on the Gateway pundits, So who

18:54

knows if it's true or not. I

18:58

mean, the Gateway pundit has less

19:00

credibility than the

19:05

toad turd with cat turd.

19:07

Guy cat turd looks

19:09

askance the Gateway pundit. People

19:11

at the Gateway pundit. Doubting

19:14

right wingers is like Trump

19:16

getting up one day and saying, now, this

19:18

may or may not be true, but I'm told Democrats

19:21

are in favor of mail in voting.

19:23

But take what I'm saying here with a grain of salt. But

19:27

our winner the worst Marjorie

19:29

Anti Semite Green. You

19:33

often wonder how the true scumbags

19:35

in our midst will meet their inevitable

19:37

ends. Well, we may be seeing

19:40

this playing out in real time for the Barney

19:42

Rubble of the Georgia Congressional delegation. First

19:45

Trump whacked her over Ukraine

19:48

and Mike Johnson. The Democrats

19:50

are not only helping Republicans thwart her plans

19:52

with the speaker, but they may bury her motion

19:55

to vacate the chair when she finally files

19:57

it. And now she has made

19:59

a huge mistake. It won't play it

20:01

as a huge mistake in her own district,

20:03

but it will in Yeah, most of the

20:06

rest of the country. I know

20:08

you won't believe this, but the fascists

20:10

did some stunt legislating yesterday

20:13

HR. Sixty ninety

20:15

the Anti Semitism Awareness

20:18

Act, because of course they're holding

20:20

off on another bill called the Anti Palestine

20:22

Awareness Act. Lots

20:24

of reps from both parties voted against

20:26

this for a variety of reasons, including the fact

20:28

that it's a stunt that simply lists

20:31

ten examples of anti Semitism

20:33

that it would declare, if passed, examples

20:37

of anti Semitism. We're

20:39

going to pass the sun Rises

20:41

in the East bill next week. That's gonna

20:43

be a good one. But Margie, Margie

20:46

was smart enough to publicly state why

20:50

she voted against this Anti

20:52

Semitism Awareness Act, and

20:54

her answer is not

20:56

good, Bob. Anti

20:59

Semitism is wrong, she writes,

21:01

and her deviated septum somehow comes

21:03

through even in print. But I will

21:06

not be voting for the Anti Semitism Awareness

21:08

Act today that could here

21:10

it comes ready. I will not be voting

21:12

for the Anti Semitism Awareness Act today

21:14

that could convict Christians

21:18

of anti semitism for

21:20

believing the Gospel that says Jesus

21:23

was handed over to Herod to

21:25

be crucified by the Jews.

21:31

Yeah, she only spelled Jews with onew That

21:33

was me just adding a little element

21:36

of inflection to it.

21:38

So in a stunt bill going

21:40

nowhere that no one will

21:43

remember, that will be replaced

21:45

next week by the Republicans Anti

21:48

environmentally sound stoves,

21:50

Save my Mesquite Awareness

21:53

and Barbecue Act of twenty twenty

21:55

four, Marge decided

21:57

to publicly put on the record by announcing

21:59

that she believes that Jesus

22:02

was crucified by the Jews. Therid Digital

22:05

Component, the Big Timer,

22:07

the ground zero of the Holocaust,

22:10

and all anti Semitism. Nice

22:12

work, genius.

22:14

Possibly a contemporary example

22:16

of anti Semitism, according

22:19

to this bill, could be the very

22:21

belief that we all believe in the Gospel,

22:23

if you're a Christian, is that Jesus

22:26

was handed over to be killed, and

22:28

that decision was made by the Jews.

22:30

According to that definition, that could be

22:34

could be considered anti semitism.
