EPISODE 172: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN

A-Block (1:43) SPECIAL COMMENT: The Defendant - and that's got to be his only name going forward - The Defendant blows up the only thing the GOP managed to get to stick to the Democrats in years: "Defund the police!" by insisting "Defund the DOJ and FBI!" You'd think maybe somebody in the House GOP leadership wouldn't want to reemphasize the fact that The Defendant was arrested - every day between now and next January when the trial is scheduled to start.

And contrary to everything you were told by every news organization, The Defendant was TOO charged with tax evasion. And The Defendant is now going to have to see his Vice President testify against him to the Special Counsel's Grand Jury, which is already hearing how The Defendant planned to seize voting machines even though his entire leadership team had already told him that there had been no foreign manipulation of them. The Defendant might get the benefit of a fake Democratic challenger to Joe Biden, as Steve Bannon sends out my former friend Bobby Kennedy Jr as a mindless stalking horse. And amazingly, government doesn't have to be like this. What the farewell address of New Zealand's Prime Minister could teach us - if only we bothered to learn anything in this country.

B-Block (22:06) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: (27:12) SPECIAL COMMENT: From Tuesday's special bulletin podcast: most media missed it. The Defendant wasn't just charged with falsifying business records. He was charged with ELECTION INTERFERENCE. Plus we now have the story of an apocryphal Trump Love child to cringe over).

C-Block (43:20) SPECIAL COMMENT: From Wednesday's podcast: Six hours after Judge Merchan warned The Defendant not to incite violence, The Defendant attacked the Judge, his daughter, the District Attorney, and his wife. Do not hesitate, Judge: The Defendant will just keep doing this until you put him behind bars. Put him behind bars NOW!
