EPISODE 243: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN

A-Block (1:43) SPECIAL COMMENT: It's COMEUPPANCE DAY!  The ENTIRE Republican Hunter Biden/Jo Biden fairy tale has burst and collapsed to the ground, pinning Jamie Comer and Chuck Grassley and Lindsey Graham and Fox News under the rubble. And the fascists’ pretend-FBI plant they swear was behind January 6th has decided to sue Fox and maybe Tucker Carlson separately.

The so-called “Missing Hunter Biden Witness” doesn’t have evidence of Chinese bribes of the Bidens -- he turns out to be a Chinese spy who was bribing a member of the Trump Transition Team. The so-called “Biden IRS Whistleblower” whose entire life consists of swearing the Attorney General refused to grant a U-S Attorney the authority to prosecute Biden, has been completely contradicted BY the U-S Attorney who says the Attorney General GRANTED him the authority to prosecute Hunter Biden anywhere in the country. And the attorney for the so-called “stage manager of the insurrection” around whom Tucker Carlson built a short-lived career but a long-lived conspiracy says the four month grace period is up and he is preparing the lawsuit against Fox.

It’s COMEUPPANCE DAY!

B-Block (18:54) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Hours after Turkey said it wouldn't support Sweden's NATO admission until the European Union admitted Turkey, Turkey suddenly supported Sweden's NATO admission. Inscrutable even for the Kremlin: Putin met with WHO? And the Taliban endorses Twitter (21:39) IN SPORTS: The New York Times Sports Department was right! The New York Times Sports Department no longer exists! (25:02) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The graphic that actually appeared on cable tv, and NOT on Fox, describing GOP impeachment plans for Hunter Biden. If you want stupid, it's Representative Nicole Malliotakis and Maria Bartiromo. And serial sex abuser Larry Nasser is stabbed in prison.

C-Block (29:30) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Morty in Brooklyn (31:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Stop throwing around the prospect of Anthrax at the White House because there was some Cocaine at the White House. At least until you've had real anthrax sent to you. Or even fake anthrax. Like I was. Four times.

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. The
entire Republican Hunter Biden Joe Biden fairytale has burst and

(00:27):
collapsed to the ground, pinning Jamie Comer and Chuck Grassley
and Ron Johnson and Lindsey Graham and Fox News under
the tons of rubble, and the fascists pretend FBI plant
the man they swear was really behind January sixth has
decided to sue Fox and maybe Tucker Carlson separately. The

(00:50):
so called missing Hunter Biden witness doesn't have evidence of
Chinese bribes of the Bidens. He turns out to be
a Chinese spy who was bribing a member of the
Trump trans position team and maybe others. The so called
IRS whistleblower, whose entire life consists of swearing that the

(01:13):
Attorney General refused to grant a US attorney the authority
to prosecute Biden, has been completely contradicted by that US
attorney who says the Attorney General granted him the authority
to prosecute Hunter Biden anywhere in the country. The attorney
for the so called stage manager of the insurrection, around

(01:34):
whom Tucker Carlson built a short lived career, but a
long lived conspiracy. Says the four month grace period is
up and he is preparing the lawsuit of Ray Epps
versus Fox. It's come up and stay. He'll start with
the missing witness, and now we know why he was missing.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Goal.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Looft fled the country in February to avoid arrest on
federal charges filed against him then but only unsealed last night.
That quote. For years, he and others known and unknown,
engaged in multiple international criminal schemes, including the scheme to
act within the US to advance the interests of China.

(02:19):
There's bribery, there's arms dealing, four separate arms dealing charges.
There's failing to register as a foreign agent. There's violating
the Iran embargo. There's his status as in Israeli spy,
a lieutenant colonel who was moonlighting as a Chinese spy.
There's literally a maximum sentence on all counts of one

(02:39):
hundred years your witness, chairman, comer quote. Luft agreed to
covertly recruit and pay on behalf of Principles based in
China a former high ranking US government official, including in
twenty sixteen while the former official was an advisor to

(03:00):
the then president and de lect Tim Miller of The
Boward and a couple of other reporters suggest they know
who that is, and it's a surprise. Miller writes, if
you are to believe the goll Luft video, it seems
like the person getting the payments was former CIA director
James Woolsey, who ended up quitting the Trump transition team
in early twenty seventeen. In short, the bombshell witness who

(03:26):
was going to blow the roof off the Hunter Biden
scandal and make it into a Hunter Biden gun scandal
and make it into a Joe Biden scandal and make
it into a the President took millions in foreign bribes
scandal and make it into a Biden China scandal, was
actually running guns and bribing the Trump team himself on

(03:48):
behalf of China. Ohen he fled to Cyprus, so he
isn't a missing witness, He's a missing Chinese spy. It's
come up and stay. Then, that was only the second half.
Have come up and stay. The US attorney overseeing the

(04:09):
Biden tax and guns and drugs case, who has repeatedly
said he was in no way limited by attorney General
Merrick Garland, in his prosecution of the President's son, finally
gave up with the low key hints and spelled it
all out in a letter to that desperate, clutching, paranoid
shamed Trump flunky Lindsey Graham that the quote Biden whistleblower

(04:33):
unquote upon whom that entire end of this fake scandal depends,
is completely wrong or worse. CNN and CBS and other
news organizations got copies of the letter, in which the
US Attorney David Weiss put fatal holes in the story
of Gary Shapley and an unnamed deputy. Weiss writes to

(04:54):
Senator Graham that he won never asked to be named
a special counsel so he could act independently of the
Justice Department, and two was never refused used authority to
act independently of the Justice Department to bring charges against
Hunter Biden wherever he wanted to. In the US quote,
I have not requested special council designation. Rather, I had

(05:18):
discussions with depart Metal officials regarding potential appointment under twenty
eight USC. Five one five, which would have allowed me
to file charges in a district outside my own without
the partnership of the local US attorney. Weis says he
was assured he could file charges quote in any jurisdiction

(05:40):
months before the October seventh, twenty twenty two meeting referenced
throughout the whistleblower's allegations your witness, Senator Graham, it's come
up and stay. The Republicans were not completely blindsided by this.
Even the Republicans saw these twin freight trains coming at
them from opposite directions. Lawyers for the anti Merrick girl

(06:04):
and whistleblower, who turns out to have been all blow
and no whistle, replied to the David Weiss letter by
cleverly answering quote. Weiss's story continues to change, and five
days ago, the alleged Chinese spy arms dealer Trump team
briber Golooft, put out a video saying he was going

(06:28):
to be arrested because he had all this evidence against
Hunter Biden see Congress and James Comer Congress and Jim Jordan,
Senator Chuck Grassley, Senator Ron Johnson, Senator Lindsey Graham. About
two dozen other Republicans won't, but they should resign hell

(06:48):
if the Biden Justice Department didn't operate from this nostalgic
view that we still live in a time when one
of the major political parties was not trying to end
representative government and replace it with a Trump dictatorship. A
lot of them would be under indictment by the end
of the week. It is clear that not only did
that overfed redneck Comber know as long ago as May

(07:10):
that his man Ghoulelooft had fled. We can't track down
the unformant, but Comer certainly knew that he was trying
to smear the President of the United States and his
son with the testimony of an international gun runner and
Chinese spy, and he knew it no later than when
Luft released his video at the end of last week.

(07:33):
Well by the way, House Republicans have scheduled a policy
meeting with Chairman Comber of Oversight, Chairman Jordan of Judiciary,
Chairman Smith of Ways and Means, and Chairman Green of
Homeland Security for the day after tomorrow to discuss quote
the Washington Examiner, the Biden investigations and oversight efforts by
House committees. They'll have a meeting, I bet they will,

(07:56):
and it will be members only. I bet it will
it's come up and stay, and already would have been
come up and stay had the Republicans Hunter Biden quote
investigation unquote not turned into a sequence of different political
Hindenburg disasters because word had already come In a New

(08:19):
York Times report that Michael Teeter, the attorney for Ray Epps,
says he did not get the retraction and on air
apology he demanded from Fox in March, didn't hear from
them at all, in fact, and so he will now
proceed to court. Quoting Teeter, that remains our intent. I

(08:39):
think you know the Ray Epps conspiracy theory. He's seen
on video egging on the January fifth crowd and then
the January sixth mob as well. But though he urges
them to march with him and enter the Capitol on
January sixth, he never goes in, and suddenly he's out
there beginning to plead for calm since prosecutors did not

(09:02):
charge him, as EPP's lawyer notes, they have not charged
him yet. Tucker Carlson concluded in twenty twenty one, to
quote The Times, that there was no rational explanation. Mister
Carlson told his audience why this mysterious figure who quote
helped stage manage the insurrection un quote had not been charged.

(09:24):
Carlson decided it was because Ray Ebbs was a plant.
He smeared Ray Epps in eighteen different episodes of his
little fiction Carnoie Show based his entire attempt to exonerate
Trump on Ray Ebbs. Depicted Ray Epps as a government
plant as a federal agent, went so far as to
make a graphic in which the logo for fed X

(09:47):
had been reworked to read fed Epps and Tucker Carlson was,
according to the lawyer, planning to do yet another segment
on Epps the day Fox fired him. There is one
notable PostScript to the Ray Epps suit pending against Fox,
and I should point out this is the pre lawsuit.

(10:08):
The point of the time story is to give Fox
a little public grief on behalf of Epps's attorney, and
also to give Fox a last warning, a last off
ramp before it's filed. But nowhere in the story does
Epps's attorney specifically say he will file against Tucker Carlson,
even though Carlson no longer works at Fox. But it

(10:29):
is instructive to note that The next defamation suit pending
against Fox, the two point seven billion dollars one from
Smartmatic Voting Machines, specifically targets Fox and Janine Piro by
name as a separate defendant, and Maria Bartiromo by name
as a separate defendant and Lou Dobbs by name. Smartmattck

(10:50):
filed that suit on February fourth, twenty twenty one. Fox
fired Lou Dobbs on February fifth, but Smart Mattic did not,
has not, and will not drop Lou Daubs from the suit.
Have a nice time under oath, Tucker, because remember, not

(11:16):
only is it come up in day, but during a
multi million dollar defamation suit, it all becomes come up
and year. By the way, Jamie Comer's committee to legitimize
half baked rumors to scare stupid people, the one at

(11:39):
the center of the Hunter Biden's scandal with the totally
credible witness who oh, by the way, as a Chinese
spy who bribed somebody on the Trump team and then
ran guns and then ran away. The Comer Committee's moving
on to a new topic today. It takes on COVID,
the key witness scripts research, evolutionary biologist Christian Anderson, who

(12:00):
four months ago responded to new genetic data from the
food market in Wuhan by saying, quote, the data does
point even further to a market origin, but of course
that's not why Comer wants Anderson to testify. In January
twenty twenty, Anderson had emailed doctor Anthony Fauci and said
that some of the early knowledge of the features of

(12:21):
COVID nineteen made him wonder whether it might have been engineered.
You watch Anderson will try to talk about the new
evidence and the conclusions of three years of studying this.
Comber will try to silence him on that and force
him to talk only about the twenty twenty email, because,
among other things, Jamie Comer is too stupid to ever

(12:44):
learn anything. And in passing, I'd just like to remind
Congressman Comber that the best known of the Congressional blacklisters,
the Chairman of the House on American Activities Committee, J.
Parnell Thomas, who helped send the screenwriter Ring Lardner Junior
to the federal prison in Danbury, Connecticut, was him him

(13:04):
self convicted of fraud in a kickback scheme, and Jay
Parnell Thomas wound up in the same federal prison in Danbury, Connecticut,
down the hall from Ring Lardner Junior. One other political note,

(13:24):
Doctor Cornell West has done some extraordinary work in his life.
His staunch left wing opinions, his ceaseless fighting for racial
justice have been beacons at times. I have gotten his
greeting of comradeship. He has called me brother Olderman, and
I was very pleased to hear it. And now, to
borrow the phrase from the TV series The West Wing,

(13:46):
Cornell West is being played like a two dollars ban.
Joe West is running for president as an independent. And
if it were not obvious that he is being manipulated
by and exploited by Trump and the fascists just to
siphon off votes from President Biden, should have gotten that
message yesterday when his candidacy was endorsed by Jill Stein.

(14:11):
And if West still didn't get that message, then he
has hoared himself out to Trump and people who would
literally deny him his right to vote if they could,
based on the color of his skin. Yesterday, West tweeted
this mindless drivel quote, let us not be deceived. NATO
is an expanding instrument of US global power that provoked

(14:35):
Russia into a criminal invasion and occupation of Ukraine. We
must stop the war and embark on diplomatic talks that
should lead to a just peace. The Democratic Party is
a party of war and Wall Street targeting Russia and China.
Let us save our democracy and world by dismantling US
militarism at home, as in cop cities and abroad. Cornell

(15:01):
West can write off also of interest here today, something
really really strange happened at the NATO summit in Vilnius yesterday.
Turkey not only continued to block Swedish entry into NATO,
but its leader Errowan insisted it would continue to do

(15:24):
so until Turkey was admitted to the European Union. And
then a couple of hours later, literally a couple of
hours later, it was announced that Turkey is supporting Sweden's
admission to NATO, which means it's lock. And nobody even
mentioned that other part about Turkey and the EU. Well,

(15:46):
it was come up and stay, wasn't it. That's next?
This is Countdown Business Countdown with Keith old Woman. Postscripts
to the New OO. Some headlines, some updates, some snarts,

(16:06):
some predictions dateline Vilnius, Lithuania. Turkey has dropped its objections,
deferred its insistence on joining the European Union, and so
Sweden will now get to join NATO. Just hours earlier,
the Turkish strongman Erdiwan had said Turkey's EU membership had
to come first, and it didn't. There may be more

(16:30):
to this story. Dateline the Kremlin. There's more to this one.
He didn't want to take over the country, He just
wanted to take over Putin's schedule. Russian government spokesman Dmitri
Preskoff reveals that five days after Effgeny progosion began and
then suddenly stopped his march to Moscow and instead fled
to Belarus. He returned to Moscow to meet with Putin,

(16:53):
and he and the Wagner group pledged fealty to Russia
and Putin. While Putin was supposedly re solidifying his grip
on the nation and the traitor Progosian was supposedly in
another country. Instead, they were playing pinocle in the Kremlin
or somewhere. I don't want to be a cynic here,
but I'm beginning to doubt the first story and the

(17:15):
second story and for that matter, I'm beginning to doubt
this story. Thank you, Nancy Faust dateline Cobble Afghanistan. Anas

(17:52):
Hakani has endorsed Twitter quote. Twitter has two important advantages
over other social media platforms. The first privilege is the
freedom of speech. The second privilege is the public nature
and credibility of Twitter. Twitter doesn't have an intolerant policy
like Meta. Other platforms cannot replace it, he writes. And

(18:12):
who is Annas Hakani? He's one of the leaders of
the Taliban. Congratulations on the endorsement. Yea Elon Musk the Taliban.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
Holy this is sports Center. Wait check that not anymore?
This is countdown with Keith Alberman in sports.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
It's official. The New York Times makes it so. No more.
Sports department at the New York Times, one of the
milestone desks in American journalism, poof just as we told
you yesterday. Just today, after twenty eight of the survivor
thirty five sports writers and staffers and editors wrote a
what else nasty letter to the editor and their publisher,

(19:12):
the Times announced it will disband its sports department and
rely for sports coverage on the website The Athletic, which
the Times paid five hundred and fifty million dollars for
last year. By the way, the Athletic is a non
union shop in the finest tradition of boiler plate Pollyanna
bull Crap, Times executive editor Joe Kahn wrote, we plan

(19:35):
to focus even more directly on distinctive, high impact news
and enterprise journalism about how sports intersect with money, power, culture, politics,
and society at large. At the same time, we will
scale back the newsrooms coverage of games, players, teams and leagues. Now,
let's compare that to what the sports editor of the
Los Angeles Times wrote a day earlier as she killed

(19:59):
off the sports department. As her readers knew it. Quote,
you no longer will see box scores and traditional game stories,
but those will be replaced by more innovative reporting, in
depth profiles, unique examinations of the way teams operate, investigations,
our distinct columnist voices, elite photography, and more. Our new

(20:19):
layout highlights our best most ambitious sports journalism, distinctive work
you cannot find anywhere else. Between these two, all the
test marketed word salad buzzwords are there. High impact, intersect
n eight elite, and best of all, while the New

(20:42):
York Times only used distinctive, the La Times managed to
work in both distinctive and distinct translation to ordinary English.
Everybody's fired still ahead. So the White House cocaine story

(21:14):
has led to a panorama on mindlessness. But maybe the
dumbest thing yet is this repeated question, what's next if
a tour taking visitor had come in through that entryway,
wrote the Boston Herald Editorial Board. The Boston Herald Editorial Board,
I believe it doubles as the paper's nighttime custodial crew

(21:36):
quote and deposited their cell phone in the storage area
and then dropped a baggy of anthrax laced powder. Lay
off the anthrax. First off, best we know the last
guy who actually tried to kill people or just to
handle anthrax. He was an expert in the field of anthrax.
He managed to kill himself. Secondly, shut up until you

(21:58):
have had anthrax or fake anthrax sent to you. Just
shut up. Time again to tell the saga of the
day I was sent fake anthrax the first day, there
were three of them. Next first time for the daily
rounde up of the miscreants, morons and Dunning Kruger effects specimens,
who constitute today's worst persons in the world. The Bronze

(22:18):
to CNN News Central, one of those last stains of
the Chris Licked regime that they just can't wash out
the show, which largely consists of the anchors saying each
other's names. Victor, Brianna, Nesbit, Garfield, wilhelmina new problem during
a Capitol Hill update by Manu Raju on CNN News Central,

(22:41):
a graphic reading quote House GOP weighs impeachment proceedings over
Hunter Biden. Let me just read that one again. House
GOP weighs impeachment proceedings over Hunter Biden. Bad news for
President Hunter Biden, isn't it? The runner up Congresswoman Nickel

(23:01):
Malatokis and Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business with an explanation
it's number seven thousand, I believe for the cocaine found
in a White House visitors area. Maliatakas, who is a
nit wit, explaining to Bartiromo, who is a defendant in
a defamation lawsuit and is about to lose all the
money she's ever had, that it is linked to what

(23:22):
Maliatakas calls President Biden's quote support for drug cartels, no,
the other one President Joe Biden. She means, she means
President Joe Biden, not President Hunter Biden. I think Bartiromo's
response quote, this is just sick A Bartiromo Malaiatakas interview

(23:44):
is not exactly going to overwhelm you with more IQ
than you can handle. But our winner Larry Nasser, the
Michigan State and USA gymnastics physician sentenced to forty two,
one hundred and seventy five years in prison for sexually
abusing athletes while the infrastructure at both institutions protected him.
Oh bad news. Larry Nasser was abbed in the back

(24:05):
and the chest by another inmate at the US Penitentiary
Coleman in Wildwood, Florida. Nasar was reported to be in
stable condition and is expected to survive. Here's hoping he
enjoyed the examination by prison infirmary doctor Hannibal Lector. Larry
Nasser today's worst person in the world. Just ahead after

(24:38):
the White House cocaine story, people like Uija Jang of
CBS started throwing around questions about anthrax in the White House.
Let me tell you about actual anthrax and fake anthrax
and the threat of anthrax and maybe you'll pause before
you raise your hyperbolic panic to eleven. Next time, next

(24:58):
first time to feature another dog in need, you can help.
Every dog has its day. Where there is life, there
is hope, and there is Morty. And Morty, a medium sized,
every day white gray and black mutt, is at AMA
Animal Rescue in Brooklyn. He's a senior dog with some
kidney failure, some dementia. He lost the ability to move
his legs. With minimal treatment, though the use of the

(25:19):
legs came back, meaning he can have a high quality
of life. About a year ago, I took in a
dog with supposed dementia. I adopted him, and he's now sixteen,
and he had a little cognitive loss, he really did,
but nearly all of his problems were not dementia. They
were bad teeth. We took out all his teeth and
he's now smart enough that he takes the hard treats

(25:39):
that I give him, and he puts them in the
water bowl and then he comes back for them later
and sucks on them like cough drops. So anyway, with
that as an aspiration, AMA Rescue is doing a go
fund me for Morty to get him some more tests
and more medication and maybe some peace in this lifetime.
Morty Ama Rescue Morty, Go fund me or look for

(26:03):
him on my Twitter and threads feeds. Morty thanks you,
and I thank you. On September twenty sixth, two thousand
and six, I opened an envelope bearing a California postmark
at my home in New York and a sticky substance

(26:26):
it looked like draino mixed with talcum powder fell out.
An accompanying note said it was anthrax, and now I
and other Liberals would get a taste of our own medicine.
Even reading those chilling words and having covered the actual
antrax letters attacks of two thousand and one for CNN,
I knew it wasn't antrax. The guy who supposedly sent
the actual anthrax was an expert in the field, and

(26:47):
even he mishandled the stuff so badly that the official
report was he gave himself anthrax poisoning and died of it.
On the other hand, what if I was wrong. My
apartment building was filled with the little old ladies who
had lived there since Roosevelt was president. I only assumed
that meant Frank Roosevelt. The odds were about one in
a trillion this was actually anthrax. But who was I

(27:09):
to dismiss this on their behalf? So I made a
phone call. Well, that made it into quite an evening.
The cops showed up, the FBI showed up. They said,
of course it's not anthrax. What we have to act
like it is. The hazmat squad came in, they set
up a command post in the building. They swept my apartment.
They said, okay, now you have to go to the
emergency room for tests. And I said, it's not anthraxs

(27:31):
you just said so. And they said if we have
to do this, you have to do this too. I laughed,
And if you don't, we can arrest you as a
threat to public health and make you do it. So
out I went into an ambulance dressed in a hazmat
suit one size too small that really chafed in the groin.
I spent the night getting checked out, and the FBI

(27:52):
called back and said, it's like draino with ivory soap flakes.
But they also said there were other letters that had
arrived that night and the night before and the week
before to people like the chairman of CBS and David
Letterman's office and Nancy Pelosi and the wrong John Stewart,
and they couldn't make me do this, but it would
really help if I did not report what had happened

(28:14):
to me on my TV show, just for one day,
because they had a lead on the guy and they
didn't want to scare him off. Naturally, I said sure.
The next day, while we were still observing the embargo
on the story, my story, which actually happened to me,
New York Post page six ran a picture of me
with the headline powder Puff spooks Keith and making sure

(28:36):
to identify me as quote can you guess a frequent
critic of President Bush's policies. It mocked me for not
just assuming it was fake anthrax and ignoring it, and
claimed I insisted the cops take me to the hospital
quote whether they gave him a lollipop on the way
out isn't known. By the way, one of the anthrax
letters in two thousand and one, the actual anthrax letters

(28:58):
had been mailed to the New York Post, and one
of their staffers contracted the anthrax poisoning, but that didn't
seem to matter anymore when it was a chance to
take a shot at me anyway. As it turned out,
there was a guy in California sending out these threatening letters,
each with fake antracks, to about a dozen people. He
sent me four of them. I soon knew the FBI

(29:19):
guys on the case by their first names, and one
day I pointed out to FBI Doug that the last
envelope had a barcode on it that maybe could track
the guy, and he said, oh, you're right, And the
next thing I knew, the FBI had videotape the suspect
mailing yet another letter to me from his home in
Woodland Hills, California, and I swear to god he actually

(29:40):
lived in his mother's basement. And FBI Doug said, do
you have your permission to pull the letter out of
the mailbox and open it? And I said sure, And
the guy wound up going to prison for like eighteen months,
but not before FBI Doug said, by the way, the
barcode you noticed it was for the post office here,
and that's where we found his address, and the fact
that he'd bought all this stuff and purchased a postal

(30:03):
money order for fifteen dollars made out to the Catherine
Harris for Florida Senate campaign, and that led us to
his online history, which is all about how she is
the most beautiful woman in the world, Katherine Harris, except
for maybe some guile named Laura something the most beautiful
woman in history, and I said, Laura, Laura Ingram an

(30:28):
FBI Doug said, Yeah, that's it, Laura Ingram. And if
that isn't ten years of my life in one sentence,
I don't know what it is. I've done all the

(30:49):
damage I can do here. Thank you for listening. Here
are the credits. Most of the music was arranged, produced
