Keith Olbermann (8:51)
Brandon Nimmo is from Cheyenne, Wyoming, and Francisco Lindor is from Caguas in Puerto Rico. I wonder if we can figure this mystery out. Trump broke up the Mets. Actually, that might be his only significant accomplishment of his first term. I'd like to congratulate Susie Wiles on single handedly ending the just forming prosecution of Jack Smith and the vowed prosecution of Anthony Fauci and the already moribund prosecutions of James Comey and Letitia James and Adam Schiff and, and, and, and all those cases will be thrown out of court, all of them. Because Susie Wiles is on tape saying, quote, I don't think he, Trump wakes up thinking about retribution, but when there's an opportunity, he will go for it. And about Comey specifically, quote, I mean, people could think it does look vindictive. I can't tell you why you shouldn't think that. Unquote. Trump's chief of staff, current chief of staff, not ex chief of staff, not off the record, not through sources, not in a biography that comes out in the year 2034 affirming its retribution. And it's on tape. And on tape, retribution means selective prosecution. And selective prosecution is illegal. And you not only get the case thrown out, if you've had to defend yourself and spend money or your reputation has been hurt, you can sue the government and the prosecutors. And it's on tape. And what Wiles said to chief of staff historian Chris Whipple about retribution, did I mention it's on tape? May also be enough for people who merely been fired or threatened by Trump to demand a court stop him and restore them to their jobs or get damages out of him or his government or completely shut down his government by vendetta and its efforts against them. That's 465 other Trump victims this year alone. Everybody from Jerome Powell to Jimmy Kimmel, all of whom may now have some kind of legal case against Trump and his drowning arguments because Pat Summerall's daughter couldn't keep her big bazoo shut and just let John Madden's child do all the talking. And if this was not enough for the 470 victims counted by Reuters to sue or get their cases dismissed or to bury Trump's minions for selective prosecution and damages, Wiles actually somehow made it worse. She not only confirmed on tape that Trump was, quote, score settling, but also that she got him to agree to a loose agreement to stop it after his first 90 days in office. And also also that Trump reneged on that. That is called guilty foreknowledge. She knew it was wrong. And Trump having agreed to limit it, means he knew it was wrong. And now you're looking at potential criminal charges for everybody who tried to enact vengeance for their Dracula in the white House. Have fun in prison. Alina Haba. Good luck getting your hair done there. Lindsey Halligan in the big house. Thanks. Susie Wiles. It's on tape as we begin the third consecutive day that Trump will have shocked even those numbed him by now by not again firing Susie Wiles. The more important issue behind this may be why she thought she could get away with talking to this man. She told Mr. Whipple for vanity Fair not only that Trump has, quote, an alcoholic's personality, but that she's seen the Epstein files and when Trump said there was evidence Bill Clinton visited Epstein island, he was not telling the truth. She also insists she tried to convince Trump not to pardon the most violent insurrectionists of January 6, insisted the deportations needed more work to prevent mistakes, and said there was an attempt to delay the tariff con job. My words. Because his advisors had a huge disagreement over tariffs. And if you missed it, she leveled far more than just Trump. Wiles dismissed JB Vance as having, quote, been a conspiracy theorist for a decade whose reasons for going from seeing Trump for what he is to whoring himself for him. Those reasons were not principled, but, quote, sort of political. Wiles says when Attorney General Timu Blondie was given the Epstein files to handle, she, quote, completely whiffed and that the budget director and 2025 Reich Marshall Russell Vogt is, quote, a right wing, absolute zealot. Couldn't tell that from Project 2025, which he largely wrote, could you? And to Wiles, Elon Musk is, quote, an avowed ketamine user whose actions often leave her, quote, aghast and are not always, quote, rational and who often tweets, quote, when he's microdosing. Susie Wiles, you have unsuspected depth. Okay, why does she think she'll get away with it? First off, she immediately issued a non denial denial that she turned into lies about the Trump administration succeeding when it is repeatedly and spectacularly drowning, hitting icebergs, blowing up over New Jersey and detonating like a SpaceX Musk rocket. Already accomplished leadership and vision of Trump, relentless pursuit of blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Not one quote denied, not one. Just the typical context was disregarded. Okay, Susie, what the hell is the context when you say Trump has the personality of an alcoholic? And you know that because your father was an alcoholic. So damage control must have always been her fallback. But why put herself in that position in the first place? I mean, Vance and Marco Rubio and Caroline Levitt and Stephen Miller all posed and so did Wiles for vanity photographs In Vanity Fair, happily, no sketch artist drew any of them nude. But for the other four, especially the evil Miller and the hapless Rubio, this was the chance to obtain the first presentable photographs of themselves in their lives. But Wiles doesn't care about that. She's not in it for fame. She's the daughter of Pat Summerall, the sportscaster, the longtime partner of John Madden. And from him she not only knew the carcinogenic personality effects fame threatens you with, but she also learned the hard way how to make a judgment. Judgment on Trump, like that most searing one. But Trump has an alcoholic's personality. Her dad was one. Quoting her again. High functioning alcoholics, or alcoholics in general, their personalities are exaggerated when they drink. And so I'm a little bit of an expert in big personalities. Trump doesn't drink, but acts like he does the alcoholics personality, complete with again quoting a view that there's nothing he can't do. Nothing. Zero, nothing. So she's not doing it to make herself the Susie Wiles. Don't get me wrong, she's one of the lead villains. She's on the list of Trump enablers. I hope they've all broken the law so they can all be prosecuted later, especially at the state level. Her beliefs are repugnant, her goals more so. But this isn't J.D. vance, political prostitute. And this isn't somebody as amazingly unqualified as Patel or Bongino or Duffy or Bondi, or as incredibly stup as Caroline Levitt. I assume that concept of her own status could be at the core of her tea, spilling over the course of 11 interviews on tape. She believes herself to be above these purely political frontmen who want the power and the glory and the glam shots in Vanity Fair. This may convey to her as false sense of security, or it may have. Or she may have been confident because he already excommunicated her once and then brought her back. Or bluntly, she may have inherited more from her father than his succinctness. Asked by the Times about her comment on musk and ketamine, she said, quote, that's ridiculous. I wouldn't have said it and I wouldn't know. Whereupon Vanity Fair played a tape of the interview and Wiles said every word of it. So maybe she was micro somethinging her own self. Lord knows your father did. But I think it's likeliest that Susie Wiles, like many in this White House, figured she could get away with this because they are beginning to write Trump off because he is drowning not only because it's nearly 2026, and at best his shelf life is three years and a month from now. And she insisted not even Trump is serious about illegally running again or staying in office, that he just says it to enrage opponents. It's not just that the tick, tick, tick, tick, tick in the Oval gets louder every day. It's that she's got to believe Trump will never actually see the article in Vanity Fair, or never actually see the actual quotes from it, will never read her say he's got, you know, the personality of an alcoholic, even though he supposedly agreed with her on that. Or we'll never understand those quotes because if anybody knows Trump's brain is fading to black, it would have to be his chief of staff, Susie Watts. Or she thinks Trump will see them and somehow will understand them, and then suddenly he will make her an ambassador to someplace warm. And now, to the tipping point of this remarkable week, the moment the water began to rise around Trump. The Rob Reiner Post. I hope you heard my bulletin on this Monday afternoon. It was my favorite philosopher, the 2nd century Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, out there trying to rule the decaying empire from deep in the woods of Germany, who wrote in what amounted to his diary, you always own the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can't control. These things are not asking to be judged by you. Leave them alone. It's hard to do that. I'm example a But it's harder to do that if, like Trump, you've never even heard of Marcus Aurelius. It was kind of encouraging to see how many of his sheep were still appalled by what Trump wrote. But there are always a few of the dumber ones who had to find a way to also ignore Marcus Aurelius and shitify themselves trying to rationalize Trump's irrationality. Like who else? Laura Loomer? Rob Reiner was a loser, Naturally. His son was also a loser and he got addicted to drugs and allegedly murdered his parents. Looks like Rob should have spent more time parenting and less time spreading Russia conspiracy hoaxes about President Trump. I stand with President Trump. And of course she puts the chef's kick on this or kiss and says that this is a legitimate tweet. Rob Reiner, Until Trump goes to prison, I will no longer be posting on Twitter. I have had it with the insults and put downs f all of you MAGA assholes. It's of course a fake tweet. Everybody knows it's a fake tweet. It doesn't look like a real tweet. It's been identified as a fake tweet. It's also dated January 20, 2020. And by the way, for me, that would be like a B minus in terms of number of obscenities used about Trump. The Reiner tweet was of course a fake, just like Laura Loomer's face. By the way, Trump announced on social media that Laura Loomer is engaged. Engaged in what exactly? Then, of course, there were reminders that creatures like Laura Loomer aren't quite human. Those were preceded by the premature jocularity the night before Trump disqualified himself from being president. Again, the right was completely holier than thou again. Jack Posobic. You won't see people on the right celebrating the horrific murder of Rob Reiner and his wife compared to the left's reaction to Charlie Kirk's murder. 11:28pm Sunday night Bret Weinstein Notice that the American right is not celebrating Rob Reiner's murder. I see post after post honoring his remarkable contribution to our culture despite his strident embrace of progressive lunacy in his later years. This is America displaying our common humanity. May his memory and his remarkable body of work be a blessing to us all. 12:59am Monday Very nice. And then Trump celebrated Rob Reiner's murder. So no matter who on his side did not, the lead guy did as Lumer suggested. Trump's disgusting touchdown dance on my friend Rob's grave and his wife's grave. And Loomer and the even dumber versions of Loomer needing something, anything to try to justify what Trump did. I even saw them use screencaps of one of my tweets, particularly the one that read Burn in Hell, Sinclair next to Charlie Kirk. This was after Sinclair Broadcasting tried to get Jimmy Kimmel fired because he didn't pretend Charlie Kirk was Jesus Christ while consoling the family and condemning the killing anyway. And they wanted Kimmel not only to lose his job, but also to pay a bribe to some kind of Charlie Kirk memorial seine washing fund. I'll say it again. The killing of Charlie Kirk was indefensible then. It is indefensible now. It will be indefensible later. The killing of political commentators is indefensible. I believe this firmly. I may believe it more than you do since I'm a political commentator. But you know what else is indefensible? Charlie Kirk and his cult of hatred and violent fantasies and racism and complete disregard for anybody who wasn't exactly like him. Him he called for public executions and to force kids to watch them. I'm sorry if the people who thought they knew him never actually read the Bible. It's clear in page after page that the evil, those who are evil like Charlie Kirk are going to hell. Sorry, unless you right wingers are saying the Bible isn't literally correct. Also, how are you comparing Charlie Kirk who contributed nothing to this country, to Rob Reiner? But I've got a worse comp even bigger than that when the far right goes and says it's all right for Trump to have celebrated Rob Reiner's murder because I said Charlie Kirk was going to hell. So so, so my comments and Trump's comments are of equal importance. Somehow I, I I carry the same influence as the President of the United States. I am in some way as important as him. I suddenly begin to suspect that I am under. Also of interest here. Laura Ingram doesn't know what country Canada is. No, I'm not kidding. And just when I thought the pecking order had become clear of which of my exes was the most self destructive, Laura is moving swiftly round the clubhouse turn and down the stretch they come.
