Better Woman Spokesperson
Hey friend. I know how this feels, waking up exhausted after multiple trips to the bathroom and feeling embarrassed by sudden leaks. I used to be constantly on edge searching for a restroom whenever I was out. Then I discovered Better Woman. I was skeptical at first, but two months in, everything changed. I experienced improved bladder control. No more heart stopping moments when I laugh or sneeze, less urge to go deeper and more restful sleep. I finally felt like myself again, confident and in control. Better Woman is natural, effective, clinically tested and trusted by Women for over 25 years. Ready to take back your control?

Podcast Host
Countdown with Keith Olbermann is a production of iHeartRadio. Donald Trump is the greatest president of all time at losing support in the polls as fast as humanly possible. He has Hemorrhaged approval. He has turned his honeymoon into a divorce, and he is setting up a Democratic landslide next year, if only the Democrats would try. And the evidence went by so fast. The real report card on the first hundred days, well, 102 days, it went by so fast, almost nobody noticed. Elliot Morris, the last king of fivethirtyeight. Com, now in charge of strength in numbers, calculated the change in Trump's approval, the depth of his sinking underwater since day one to day 100. And it is the worst in American polling history, dating back to 1953. Worse even than Trump's own first term. He was a net worth plus nine at the time of his inauguration, and he is at minus ten now, plus nine to minus ten in a hundred days. And the minus ten is itself a presidential record. The move from positive territory to gurgle, gurgle, you're drowning, is a record. The dispelling of the notion that he might be okay this fast is a record. He is the most worst president of all time. As Morris notes, only Gerald Ford is even in Trump's league. And even after Ford pardoned Nixon and shed half his support, Ford was still a net plus and a net plus 24 at 100 days. Carter was a net plus 55. George W. Bush was a net plus 27. Trump is is a net minus 10. He is drowning. He is losing an average of one approval point every five days. At this rate, by early August, he would be at net minus 30. I mean, this is worse than the economy. That's how bad these numbers are. Trump only wasted 7% of the value of the stock market in the first hundred days, and gross domestic product only shrank 3. 10 of a point when it was supposed to continue the huge growth it had under Biden. Trump went from net plus ten to net minus ten in a hundred days. And that's just the start. The Republican internal polling may be even worse than that, if that is mathematically possible. This is from Punchbowl News. Trump's approval rating is underwater, NRCC Chair Richard Hudson told House Republicans during a private meeting on Capitol Hill. This is the Republican Congressional Committee to Elect Republicans to Congress. Their poll, conducted April 13th to 18th in competitive House seats, has 46% of respondents approving of Trump's performance, 53% disapproving. This is roughly in line with public polling data. Trump is seven points underwater in vulnerable House seats, many of them now held by Republican congresspeople. Aggressive Democratic campaign focused on freedom, democracy, Trump's psychosis, Trump causing prices to rise. Trump Threatening SS and Medicare. Trump trying to kill small businesses in favor of monopolies and cartels. Trump abducting Americans. Trump running a child trafficking gang. Trump threatening the Constitution. Trump constantly denying reality. Trump threatening judges. Trump threatening you. Trump causing your costs to go through the roof. That could lead to a Democratic landslide next year. And you can run on every kitchen table issue you want and against Trump and for democracy in the same sentence. Happily, the Democrats are poised to take advantage of this polling opportunity to. Who the hell am I kidding? This is a simple fix. You just have to not be Chuck Schumer anymore. Chuck Schumer, who is somehow in charge, did say something yesterday at a Senate hearing about how Trump, quote, doesn't deserve to be president. Schumer says he is planning to maintain his current strategy in the Senate, which is do nothing but try to negotiate more bipartisan appropriations bills with Republicans when Republican voters are headed for the lifeboats. About Trump in winnable congressional districts and winnable Senate seats, Schumer says he thinks he can chip away at Trump's popularity. Trump's popularity, the one thing they can let Trump take care of himself. But back to the good news, boy, is all of these Poland stuffs pissing Trump off. The polls from the fake news are like the news itself, fake. We are doing great. Better than ever before. As I noted the other day, Trump's rage is fueled in part because those around him have learned to lie to him to keep him controllable. They are telling him the polls are fake. Did you see the televised Cabinet meeting yesterday? A series of ever increasing lies about how wonderful and gorgeous he is. And they told him this. And he raged before the Fox News poll, which not only showed how far he was underwater personally, but pointed out and measured how close the individual sharks are to him. Border security, there he is ahead. He's above water, 15%. Everything else, not so much. Underwater on immigration by a point. Underwater on deportations by 4 points underwater on guns by 3. Underwater on foreign policy by 14, underwater on taxes by 15. On the economy by 16. On tariffs by 20. On inflation, 33% approve, 59% disapprove 100 days in. And Trump, who guaranteed to lower prices, is 26 points underwater on inflation. The White House response to this? A disaster at every turn except border security. From the Ministry of Truth, Stephen Miller says to John Roberts on Fox News, it is our opinion that Fox News needs to fire its pollster more. Miller on Fox News is also our opinion that I have long, flowing, luxurious blonde hair and Fox News needs to fire its cameras. On the other hand, Trump did have success in one poll, the Canadian election. On Inauguration Day, Trump's Inauguration Day, the Conservatives of Canada led the Liberals in polling 45 to 22. Monday, the Liberals won. Conservative leader Pierre Poilvre first lost his ass, then he lost his seat. He's out of Parliament, although he can try to coerce some SAP who got elected to resign and hand him his seat or hand him his ass. The American right wing response to this it would be easier to invade Canada with the Liberals there in charge. Or you can look at it this way, it would be easier for Canada to invade the US with a guy who hates Trump in charge. And remember Canadians, you could, to borrow a phrase of somewhat recent vintage, you could be greeted as liberators and you might get help from Americans. A few of us like 300 million or more. The latest on the abduction and human trafficking scam. Judge Zinnis yesterday denied the ICE and Department of Justice Gestapo a long term delay in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, but gave them de facto small delays by seeing a series of deadlines in the next three weeks for sworn statements and testimony. This might have had something to do with Trump making the fateful and possibly fatal mistake of confessing that yes, he could get Mr. Abrego Garcia back from El Salvador with one lousy phone call. He did this by saying one of the few non ambiguous things of his presidency in that sit down interview with Terry Moran of abc, quote, I could, I could, unquote, Moran asked him if he could use that phone on the Resolute desk and get Abrego Garcia back. I could, I could, was the response. And I know this will be a controversial interpretation of what Trump said there, but I believe that when he said I could, I could. That could be read as meaning he could. He could. Trump then added, and if he were the gentleman that you say he is, I would do that. Trump then lost even more people who still think he is sane by insisting that the tattoos on Abrego Garcia's knuckles, wrongly identified as representing the gang ms.13 actually read ms.13 like M is on the pinky and then S and then there's a dash, then one on the forefinger and then three on the thumb. He really thinks that's what it says. He really thinks that's on the man's fingers. Trump then inadvertently confessed because the ABC interview was not with George Stephanopoulos or David Muir. He was expecting more TV fellatio from Terry Moran, apparently unaware that Terry Moran has been savaging him online and on the air for a decade. Trump he had MSN 15 on his knuckles, tattooed. Moran that was photoshopped. Trump Terry, they're giving you the big break of a lifetime. I picked you, but you're not being very nice. In other words, Trump just assumed the ABC interviewer would join him in lying to the world about the man he had abducted and renditioned to an authoritarian country. Also the big break of a lifetime. Terry Moran is 64 years old. I know he looks youthful, but he's 64. If he hadn't gotten his big break long before now, Trump, you did not give it to him on Tuesday night. Meanwhile, Trump's employee who runs El Salvador for him completely blew the whole thing, as Trump was finally admitting. Yes, he can get Abrego Garcia home in an instant. President Bukele said, no, no, no, you can't. As the New York Times put it, quote, yesterday, the Trump administration recently sent a diplomatic note to officials in El Salv to inquire about releasing a Salvadoran immigrant whom government officials have been ordered by the Supreme Court to help free, according to three people with knowledge of the matter. But the authoritarian government of Nayib Bukele, the leader of El Salvador, said no. 2 of the people said the Bukele administration claimed the man should stay in El Salvador because he was a Salvadoran citizen. According to one of those people, that would have been exactly the statement Trump needed to bolster his phony baloney case here if he hadn't pre contradicted it in the ABC interview by saying, yes, I can get him back right now. He could be here for dinner. No, Moran wasn't very nice and as usual, Trump wasn't very sane on the others. As you know, the leader of the Columbia protest, the student Mohsen Madawi, was ordered released by a court yesterday after he had been kidnapped and detained. Madawi is wrong. He's hurting the Palestinian cause more than Netanyahu is. I think he's an idiot, but if you want to prosecute him for something, we have laws and you follow them and you go to a judge. That's why we have laws and judges, assuming we still do. I have nothing new on the Honduras girls, including the four year old with cancer. The hearing on the girl, the two year old identified as VML and the others, is two weeks from tomorrow. You will recall though, Tom Homan's defense was if they didn't sell Ms. VML with her mother when they renditioned her mother, we would be complaining about his Gestapo separating families. Well, it turns out they're doing that as well. ICE sent a woman named Heidi Sanchez from a routine immigration check in in Tampa back to Cuba without her daughter. Her one year old daughter. Her one year old daughter who is still breastfeeding. We really need to make sure Homan and Noem and ICE agents and Pam Bondi are tried at the International Court of Justice at the Hague. They are the peacetime equivalent of war criminals. Then there are the new victims. Javier Salazar of Texas, age 19, was picked up shackled on a bus heading towards rendition, probably to El Salvador. When the Supreme Court ordered no further abductions to other countries, he Too was declared MS.13 by the Trump fascists because there was a photo of him in his social media standing next to another kid and the other kid had a water pistol, a squirt gun. The squirt gun in the other kid's hand was enough for ICE to mark Salazar down as a member of Ms. 13. There is not just the immorality of the entire process here. There is also the amazing stupidity and the slovenliness and the shoot first, ask questions later with a squirt gun quality of each individual case. They are trying to kill kids by proxy, using as evidence photos of a different kid holding what is not a gun. Turns out ICE is also lying about its arrest totals. This is from Aaron Reichland Melnick of the American Immigration council. He writes ICE clarifies that the 151,000 arrest figure put out by the White House is not internal arrests, as Caroline Levitt and DHS have implied. The figure likely includes all CBP encounters, including people with visa issues at airports. The actual ICE arrest number is 66,500, high, but not historic. On March 13, he writes, ICE said the agency had conducted 32,809 arrests in its first 50 days. That would be an average of 656 arrests per day. So now they're averaging 665 arrests per day. If ICE manages to keep up this level of arrests, it would reach a level last seen in the first Obama term. 665 arrests a day on average would be 243,000 arrests for the year. ICE reported 322,000 arrests in fiscal year 2011, which is still the record. In other words, all of this, all of this nightmare, all of this destroying of the fabric of the American consciousness and the American conscience, and they have to lie to make the arrest totals look big. They're not even doing their evil. Well, up the road in the administration, checking in on the Administration's alcoholism problem. The Secretary of Whiskey has killed a Defense Department program that fostered and promoted the contributions of women in the national security area. The Women Peace and Security act. Wps. Basically a back slapping thank you card kind of operation. Hegseth's announcement. WPS is yet another woke divisive social justice Biden initiative that overburdens our commanders and troops distracting from our core task. Excuse me, War Fighting Department of Defense will hereby executive the minimum of WPS required by statute and fight to end the program for our next budget. Good riddance. WPS Secretary Pete Drunk Breath has one small problem here. WPS was signed into law by President President Trump. This is a Trump program. WPS Trump in 2017 Hag Seth just killed a Trump program that was too woke. Why did Trump's numbers tank? Because he became too woke. Back then in 2017 it was championed by people who are in the new Trump administration or as we all are beginning to call it now, Titanic. More bad news for Mr. The next round is on me. An amendment to a House bill from Congresswoman Sarah Jacobs of California. Limitation on use of funds for a makeup studio for the Secretary of Defense. None of the funds made available by this title may be used to construct, sustain, outfit or maintain a dedicated makeup studio for the Secretary of Defense within the Pentagon or any other building under the jurisdiction of the Department of Defense. No response to Sarah Jacobs amendment from the Secretary of Maybelline Secretary of Defense Secretary of Defense of Maybelline Meanwhile, back in the private sector, Jeff Bezos is Trump's bitch. What does capitulating to blackmail get you Jeff? What it always gets you. More blackmail. Timeline 1 Punchbowl News reported Amazon would start noting how much more products on its site cost you because of the tariffs. 60% of Amazon sales are from the smaller businesses Trump is out to kill with the tariffs. 2 Within hours Amazon publicly denied this. 3 After that lying Caroline lying Levitt attacked Amazon. I just got off the phone with the President about this about Amazon's announcement. This is a hostile and political act by Amazon for an Amazon spokesman then denied it was ever even possibly remotely chance worthy going to be true. Tim Doyle the team that runs our ultra low cost Amazon haul store considered the idea of listing import charges on certain products. This was never approved and is not going to happen. I swear. I swear to Jesus. I swear. Turns out there was one step on that timeline we didn't know about initially. It was step one A of all people. Fox News reported it first. Jackie Heinrich how she keeps her job There, I don't know. But may the good Lord bless her and keep her Confirming reports. Sources familiar tell Fox that President Trump called Jeff Bezos this morning to complain about plans to display tariff impact on Amazon product prices. Every network in the world except the Game Show Channel then confirmed the report. Then Trump confirmed he called Bezos and Bezos fielded the problem for Trump or Ren fielded the problem for Trump. He was terrific. He solved the problem very quickly. It's a good thing Jeff Bezos destroyed the Washington Post curry favor with Trump. Trump now owns him. And of course this will not stop. As life worsens for Trump, as the net minus continues to grow, he will demand more and more from Bezos because that's what blackmailers do, especially to those victims who have lost the will to metaphorically live like Jeff Bezos obviously has. It is sad, but true if you do not already doubt every word printed in the Washington Post, and if you don't already at least look for other buying options before going to Amazon start. And this could boomerang badly for Trump. He has ordered that truck drivers now that they. Well, basically what President Ted Bundy told the truck drivers is speak English. You're in fascist America now. Another royal decree from the man who thinks he's king and believes it because Pam Bondi keeps telling him it's true. Truckers should be able to read and understand traffic signs, communicate with traffic safety, border patrol, agricultural checkpoints and cargo weight limit station officers. Drivers need to provide feedback to their employers and customers and receive related directions in English. Have we noticed this as some sort of huge problem? Have they been driving past the weight limit station officers? Have they been parking there and just staying there for days at a time because they don't speak English or won't speak English? No sir. This is not just some sort of official language proclamation, which was bad enough as it was. If you don't recognize the Trump scam and the methodology therein by now. This is a precursor to imposing English only restrictions in countless other aspects of American life. One can imagine that it will extend into government and into politics and especially into elections. Because what could disenfranchise minority voters faster than English only election data and advertisements and campaigns and. And English only polling places? Of course, here is where it rebounds against Trump. If English does become mandatory in government or in politics, what are these fots, friends of Trump, going to do for a living? Elon Musk unintelligible in any language, but especially in English, especially when he's wearing two MAGA caps at the Same time like he was at the cabinet meeting yesterday. The squeezing tightly what's left of his calcified brain. On the other hand, 2 caps is not enough. He really needs 17. Musk needs at least 17 to cover each of his personalities. What about Senator Roger Marshall? What will he do if English becomes mandatory? He still thinks the worst terrorist act in our history is pronounced 911. What about the Secretary of Insufficient Education, McMahon, who believes the chatbot she has is using A1? What about Herschel Walker? What about Marjorie stupid Green? She doesn't speak English. And of course, what about Press Secretary Lying Caroline lying Levitt, who thinks the Nazi guy was named Adolf Hilter? Adolf Hilter. And of course you have to speak English to serve in government. Well, if that goes into effect, what the hell does Trump do then? No, I'm sorry, sir. You can't come into the Oval Office. You can't say your name without getting something wrong. Also of interest here, yes, there are new developments in Bill Maher's self immolation. Thank you for asking. He did something else seven years ago that he just attacked Larry David for doing earlier this month. That's next. This is Countdown. Get in the zone. AutoZone.

This is Countdown with Keith Olbermann. Still ahead on this edition of countdown. I saw a payphone in New York the other day. A working payphone. And memories came flooding back, including the time I literally stopped pedestrian traffic in New York on what must have been the first time anybody in the city ever saw the thing that killed off the payphone. Something lighter as comic relief. Next in things I promise not to tell first, believe it or not, there's still more new idiots to talk about. The roundup of the miscreants, morons and dunning Kruger effect specimens who constitute the latest other worst persons in the world. Don't call collect. Let me dedicate this edition to Bill Maher and advise him he did not make the cut this time. This is principally in order to give him a few days to get his wounds attended to, mostly the ones Larry David inflicted on him. But I helped. Larry called my attention to and it was my old friend Sam Seder of the Majority Report who found and clipped it this additional Bill Maher bit of hypocrisy. You will recall that Larry had turned Bill into confetti over going to the White House for dinner with Trump and falling for the Ted Bundy stuff all over again. His op ed in the Times was called My Dinner With Adolf. Bill immediately insisted that by comparing Trump to Hitler, Larry was insulting 6 million dead Jews I found clips from 2015 in which Bill compared Trump to Hitler twice on his show in a span of just four shows. I also, as I told you, remembered being on with Bill as he repudiated his previous statements that Trump was a great guy. He said Trump had fooled him. Now Trump's fooled him again because he doesn't remember anything. But it was Sam Seder who found Bill also frying Geraldo Rivera for doing the other thing that Bill Maher has done here. Doubling down, defending himself by trying to separate Trump, the power crazed demon from hell, from Trump, the glib dinner host who only orders the best burgers from McDonald's. This is Bill Maher with Geraldo Rivera excoriating Geraldo Rivera over Trump from 2018. And I have stolen this clip from the Majority Report. You know, Trump is my friend. I've known Trump for 40 years. I don't have, I don't have.

So did Trump. He didn't remain my friend when I felt he had a certain moral lapse. Well, in, in my, in my family, my wife agrees with you. She doesn't like his policies on so many things that I already listed. So she just can't stand the guy. I'm different. I can separate the man who's always been gracious to me, always been nice to my family. You know, we were on Celebrity Apprentice together. Together every day for six weeks. I've known him really through every shit. He's running the world. But what does that matter, that he was nice to you at Thanksgiving?

Podcast Host
Not trying to be an asshole to you. You're a smart guy. This befuddles me. I looked up to you. Bill. I have a suggestion for you. After that. It's a one word suggestion for you. Are you ready for it? My suggestion is hiatus. Hello. Anyway, the winners in the Worst persons in the world segment, the bronze worse. Minnesota Congressman Tom Emmer, who in the House represents Trump and does not represent anybody from Minnesota, even though he was elected by Minnesota's 6th District. He is the majority whip, meaning he doesn't mind when Trump whips him, which he does if Mike Johnson is unavailable. Emmer is a fully compromised Trump whore. And the degree to which that is true has been underscored again as Emmer files an ethics complaint in the House against another member of the Minnesota delegation, the Democrat Angie Craig of the Minnesota second District. Her crime, according to Emmer, quote, misuse of public resources that erodes the trust Americans place in their elected officials and undermines the integrity of our institutions. So resources, taxpayer money. What did she do? Did she embezzle it? Oh noes. What did Angie Craig do? Did she spend taxpayer money on a makeup studio? Did she dig up the Capitol Hill lawn to put down cement and to install 100 foot flag poles? Did she buy Ben Carson's old $31,000 office desk for her own office? No, sir, since Tom Emmer wouldn't she held a town hall in Minnesota in Tom Emmer's district. Tom Emmer had had a virtual town hall in March during which he insisted that when when prices skyrocketed because of Trump's tariffs, that would make Trump more popular and everything was great out there in Minnesota, even though he wasn't there and wouldn't go there and wouldn't dare go there and wouldn't talk to anybody in public in Minnesota. And if it's possible to get booed off the Internet, he got booed off the Internet during this zoom call. He has not set foot in public in the Minnesota sixth since. So Angie Craig, being a servant of all the people of Minnesota, held a town hall in the Minnesota 6th for which Emmer wants her reprimanded by the House Ethics Committee. How dare you talk to citizens. One might think Tom Emmer would be momentarily smart about this and not call further attention to the fact that he's too much of a coward to hold a town hall anywhere in Minnesota. Or calling more attention to the other inconvenient truth here, which is that Angie Craig's second District adjoins Tom Emmer's sixth District. There's a street somewhere that starts out in the second and ends in the sixth. If Emmer isn't going to listen to voters there, Angie Craig damn well should she get a menu, a medal or a menu. She should get a menu full of medals for doing Tom Emmer's job for him. Ethics complaint for her because. Because she was. She was talking to constituents when I I'm too much of a weenie to do it myself. Hit me again, Mr. Trump. The runner up, worser Ed Martin, also whipped by Trump. Ed Martin, liar. He is the whack job Trump nominee for U.S. attorney for D.C. and he just got nailed. As Ed Martin awaits Senate confirmation, somebody pointed out he had praised the Holocaust denier and Hitler dresser upper Timothy Hale Cusinelli. Martin immediately I think this is called lied. He said he knew nothing about Hale Cusinelli's psycho views. I denounce everything about what that guy said, everything about the way he talked and all as I've now seen it. At the time, I didn't know it. Uh oh, here come the podcasts. Ed Martin not only hosted Timothy Hale Cusinelli on his podcast, on Ed Martin's podcast five times last year, just last year. But CNN also found that Martin defended the photos Hale Cusinelli took of himself pretending to be Hitler. He branded criticism of Hale Cusinelli as character assassination, called him a great guy, and when that wasn't enough, he called Hale Cucinelli an amazing guy. Well, the last part about an amazing guy, that's true. He's pretty amazing. Clearly, Ed Martin has to be withdrawn as D.C. u.S. Attorney nominee and instead nominated to be Trump's press secretary. But the winner, El Trumpo himself, President Scrooge McDuck, Ted Bundy himself. This time, the demand from Trump's education gestapo is for the University of Pennsylvania to lose $175 million in federal funding unless it restores to all female athletes all individual athletic records, titles, honors, awards, or similar recognition for Division 1 swimming competitions misappropriated by male athletes. And Penn must write a letter of apology to every female athlete involved within 10 days or, quote, risk a referral to the U.S. department of justice for enforcement proceedings. We need the 10 days so we can explain it to Pam Bondi, who's what we used to call slow. No, I'm not kidding about any of this, except the Pam Bondi part. I mean, explaining it to her. I don't know if she's slow or not. This is about Lia Thomas, the pen swimmer whose success destroyed America's favorite failure, Riley Gaines, and caused her to finish tied for fifth, rather than just fifth, or maybe tied for fourth. Tied for fifth in the only race she competed against that Thomas was in. Of course, Thomas also caused poor Riley gaines to finish 85th in the Olympic qualifying events, because once again, as I've mentioned before, any female athlete who failed, it's because of transgender surgery from some ex guy. It's not because the female athlete wasn't any damn good at her sport. It couldn't possibly be because they like you and I. And every American from you and I to Babe Ruth, had to face the day when we realized we weren't good enough or good enough anymore at sports. The day we realized if you are a first baseman who hits 1. 38 for NEMA New York Military Academy, like Trump did, you're gonna have to try something else. And I wish to God he hit 7. 38 and had been signed by the San Francisco Giants. And was still playing Major League Baseball today at age 206, or whatever he is. I wish I'd done his highlights every day on SportsCenter. Anything other than this. No, it's not that moment when you realize, I can't swim. It's not that. It's not that. For all intents and purposes, Riley Gaines can't swim. It's transgender surgery. It's their fault. It can't be my fault. I'm Riley gaines. I'm the 85th best swimmer. Because we all remember what happened when my friend Dr. Renee Richards played in the US Tennis Open starting in 1977 after being born Richard Raskin. You will remember that Renee won 30 consecutive U.S. open titles and 30 consecutive Wimbledons and 29 out of 30 French Opens. The only time she didn't win was when she had to do eye surgery on that guy and she had to drop out. It was an emergency. And you remember how Renee destroyed women's tennis. And you never heard of Martina Navratilova or Chris Evert or Tracy Austin. Oh, right. That didn't happen. None of that happened because the best Renee Richards ever did at the US Open was losing the doubles final in 1977. Because, yes, transgender athletes might have some slight biological advantages, like, as Rene points out, longer bones. And guess what? You could simply allow for that by giving the transgender athlete a slight disadvantage. What they call in horse racing a handicap. When it's match play against CIS females, you give the opponent a win in one tennis game before the match even starts, or you give them half a second in the pool before they get in the pool, and thus, this could all be resolved by next Monday. But this isn't about sports or athletes or Riley Gaines. It's about demonizing transgender athletes and transgender people. And what Penn should do is respond to this bullshit by saying Trump obtained his degree from their Wharton School of Business by fraud and suing Trump for it for $175 million. And we'll see then how fast he falls on his bullshit. Donald, I didn't obtain my degree from Wharton at penned by fraud. There was nothing fraudulent about that money. Two days worse person in the world.

To. The number one story on the countdown and things I promised not to tell. Which is now our humorous relief from the day to day series of nightmares from which we cannot wake. I saw something I had literally not seen in years in New York the other day. And it brought back a flood of extraordinary memories that once weren't extraordinary at all. The Thing I saw was a telephone attached to some sort of piece of metal itself, attached to some sort of pole like support coming out of the ground. There was a little hole at the top of this above the. What was it called? Receiver. That's right above the thing you. The handset, the thing you put next to your ear and talked into and listened to. There was a thing above it, a hole in which you were supposed to put. I don't know, Taffy. Oh, no. Coins. That's what it was. Okay, I'll stop. The number of memories that came flooding back to me about this payphone started with an episode this time of year, late spring, early summer, 1988, 89, 90. Maybe as late as 1991, when I emerged from Grand Central Station on an late spring, early summer day, visiting from Los Angeles on my way to see my folks. Walked out of Grand Central Station at midday, around noon, onto 42nd Street. And for only the second time in my life, I saw the Pedestrian traffic of 42nd street stop and stare. And they were staring at me because something inside the bag I was carrying had made a noise. And I had reached in and picked it out and started talking. And literally everybody stopped. I think you can guess what it was. I think you need to hear the background first to understand why it had that impact on people. The payphone had been part of my life for as long as I could remember. I used to call home from school on a payphone at Hackley School in Tarrytown, New York, to see and ask my mother if the mail had come yet. And the baseball cards I had ordered, the 1910 baseball cards, were in the mail. So I had something to look forward to when I got home, something to get me through the rest of the day. In school as a reporter, I was part of near fist fights, and actually once saw a fist fight between a news reporter from the Westinghouse all news radio station in New York, wins, and the CBS all news radio station in New York, wcbs. I actually saw them come to shoving and throwing punches. Happily. They were radio people. They missed over a payphone at a news story that I was also covering. They had to get live on the air. And that's how you did it in 1979, 1980. Hell, in 1990, the number of times, the biggest task of the day from a story I was covering in New York, primarily in radio, but even later in television, was the sprint. First off, finding where the payphones were outside the luncheon where the thing was being announced, or outside the breaking news or on the street, where was the nearest payphone? And then where was the nearest payphone after that in case there were six reporters lined up for that payphone and the sprint to it afterwards? And could you leave the press conference before it was officially over so you could get to the phone first? That's the way it was. It wasn't just a convenience of calling in, as I did on my way to the radio network every Saturday and asking my fellow employees at the Ark RKO radio network in 1981 if they wanted something because I was stopping at Arby's and I would bring in no drinks, but I'd bring in all the burgers I could carry or whatever. This time it was McDonald's one week and Burger King the next. And the reason I did this was because there were no restaurants open in Times Square on the weekend, so they couldn't go anywhere nearer than a 20 minute walk to get food. No restaurants open in Times Square. We barely had electric light in 1981. Everything was in black and white. They hadn't invented color yet. Okay. It had been with me a long time. And it emerged later on in one of the great series of practical jokes, one of which I was a victim of in 1981, no, 1982, at the football strike. I was covering it for CNN. And I walked in once and sat down because I wasn't going to have a camera crew for quite a while and found Ed Garvey, the head of the union, sitting outside the press conference that was being conducted by Jack Donlin, the Boston born guy who talked like that. The negotiator for the National Football League was holding a news conference and I sat outside with Ed because I already knew what he was saying and you could hear him through the walls. Anyway, had one of those voices, one of those South Station PA Voices. Let's go bargain. So Ed and I are talking and out of nowhere a small woman with glasses appears and says, excuse me, excuse me, my name is Jane Miller. I'm with CBS News. Does. Does either of you know where Ed Garvey, the head of the football players union, is? I was told he was going to be here. I was sitting with Ed Garvey. We shot each other looks from behind our glasses and I said, I haven't seen him. And Garvey went, I don't know where that son of a bitch is. We went on with Jane for quite a while and led her quite a merry dance about how Garvey had left for Washington. Oh, no, I just came from Washington. I'LL get fired if I don't get an interview with him and Garvey. And I took turns calling Ed, calling Garvey a liar, a manipulator, a thief, a crook and a drunk. Ed added that part. He's a drunk too. Did you know that? Finally, something, and I don't remember what it was, caused me to burst into laughter. And Ed said, I'm sorry, I couldn't resist. I'm Ed Garvey. How can I help you? I'll give you an exclusive interview. So it worked out well for Jane, and she forgave Ed Garvey immediately. She did not, however, forgive me. Several weeks later, the talks in the football strike of 1982 had moved to Hunt Valley, Maryland. Cockeysville. If you wanted to go by what it said on the map, fitting a location for the football talks that went on and on and on and on and on. Cockeysville, Maryland. The Hunt Valley at Cockeysville. The number of potential mispronunciations and slips on the air that I avoided using. Cockeysville and Hunt Valley. I lost count after the first 2000. I was on the phone with CNN doing an Update for the 11:00 news, the 11:00 sportscast we used to do because I didn't have a camera crew, a running theme of my days at cnn. Again, we were out in the wilds of Maryland. It would be a waste of a camera crew to give me a camera crew all the time. They would just stop by when they were within an hour of the place and I would do a stand up and hope that my stand up report would somehow hold until it appeared at 11 o'clock. But that night something happened. We couldn't use the stand up. I had recorded eight hours previously. And so instead I was on the phone on a payphone and I'm talking to Fred Hickman and Nick Charles and I see Jane Miller of CBS News still burning, seething with resentment because of the joke I played on her. And I was only half of that. Garvey was talking about himself in the third person, pretending not to be him. I was just going along with it. I may have started it. Jane simply smiled at me, realized from the monitor behind the bar where we were all based at the Hunt Valley Inn in Cockeysville, Maryland. She realized that I was on the air live on that telephone, on that payphone because the monitor had a picture of me. And it said live on the phone from Cockeysville, Maryland, at the football talks. CNN Sports Keith Olbermann. So Jane Very sweetly smiled at me and reached over and I didn't know what she was going to do. She pressed the button on top of the phone and I was disconnected right in the middle of my live report on cnn. Payphones may have been important to you at some point if you were old enough and understand now you really need to be at least 45 to have used a payphone on a regular basis. Well, maybe, maybe less than that. But I think 45 is probably a good number and to have used it as an adult, to use a payphone as an adult. I don't know the last time I used one, maybe sometime around 1987 or 88. There's one other professional concern though, my point being that it's not just your use as a person to call in an emergency or just to call because you're not home and you don't have a phone with you. I mean, who's going to have a phone with them? Hell of a long cord professionally. It also is involved in one of the great blooper tapes of all time. When Pat Summerall, the famous broadcaster, football announcer and father of the chief of staff at the White House, that won't cost him any time in hell. Pat Summerall is on the phone live from Madison Square Garden, reporting on a basketball tournament in his role as the first sports director of the aforementioned CBS all news station in New York, wcbs. Pat is on the phone talking about the double header at Madison Square Garden, which they used to have all the time, college basketball being a big thing in those days in New York. Pat Summerall is talking and suddenly you hear a hiss and a pre recorded voice of the universal operator, the sweet voice of the woman going, pardon me for interrupting. Please deposit 10 cents for an additional two minutes. And then the thing would go off, the recording stopped, the anchorman burst into laughter, Pat Summerall burst into laughter. And he said, anyway, Columbia won the first game and I'll get back to you, Harvey, and, and I'll say, I'll get back to you as soon as I can get the operator off the phone. One of the great bloopers of all time. And I did not do it justice. But it's pretty funny if you remember what a payphone was. So now my own experience in making the payphone a thing of the past, and I don't know what my role was in this, I did not invent cellular communications. I did not invent invest in them when I had the opportunity to do so. But there was that story about me stopping traffic, literally on 42nd street in 88 or 89 or 90. And it started in Palm Springs, California, in 1986, my first year covering the California Angels spring training. I did that for my television station, which carried the Angels games, ktla. But I also did, by that point, the afternoon sportscasts on KNX Radio, the CBS all news radio station in Los Angeles. And to do these reports from Palm springs, I had two choices. I would cover the Angels game for KTLA and then go and do my three or four afternoon sportscasts at 4:45, 5:15, 5:45, whatever the times were. And I would either have to stay at the ballpark for a couple of additional hours and do the reports from an empty Angels stadium in Palm Spring with the leaf blowers going in the background as they cleaned up all the debris from everybody going to those games. So you can imagine how much fun that was and then finding my way back to the hotel at some point as it started to get dark in March of 1986. Or I could try to rush back to the hotel room and do the reports from there. And if I didn't make it, there wouldn't be a sportscast at 4:45pm on KNX. So by 1987, in anticipation of going and doing this again, I said to my friend, the assistant news director of knx, Roger Nadell, what about using one of these new mobile phones? And he went, what? What do you mean, mobile phones? Car phones. You don't drive. How are you going to use a car phone? I said, no, I saw something about them in the news. They'll rent you a phone and it comes in a bag and you carry it with you, and you can just use it. You just have to keep it charged. Well, sure enough, he looked into it, and for a nominal fee for that time, I don't know, $500, they loaned us a big hulking phone that looked like. Well, looked like a bowling ball in a bowling ball bag. And the warning that I got from Roger was, don't let it sit in the sun or it will start to smoke. Now we're in Palm Springs, California, in March. There's a lot of sun, so I had to be very careful about it. But it was a wonderful. For all of the overheating, all the need to recharge the thing for 16 hours a day, it eliminated all the problems. I could do the 445 sportscast from the ballpark in Palm Springs, then get in the car, go back to the hotel, or even walk back to the Hotel and do the 5:15 sportscast from the hotel. It was a wonder. So when I got back to Los Angeles In March of 1987 or early April of 1987, I began to consider the possibility of buying a mobile phone. Los Angeles was filled in those days. Every day there seemed to be a new one with car phone stores. Car phones, once the elite rich symbol of those who drove Bentleys but not mere Cadillacs. The car phone was becoming a regular thing, and store after store opened. And the key thing was they would not only sell you the phone, they would install it. Because, of course, a car phone needed a car. Who's gonna have a car phone without a car? I went in and said, could they work without a car? And after the guy, the salesman stopped laughing at me, he said, well, let me get the expert out. The guy who installs them. Let me find out. And Larry came out, and Larry said, yeah, yeah, they could. I mean, you have to keep it charged. But all. The only thing that. That we really do is put a bracket in there so you can keep the phone on the dashboard and have it permanently plugged into the cigarette lighter in your dashboard. Something else that doesn't exist anymore. You could. There's a jack that allows you to plug it into a wall socket. But why on earth would you want a car phone without a car? I said, to carry it around with me on stories. I'm a reporter. Well, that's a very specific use. Nobody will ever carry around one of these. They didn't see it either. Frankly, I saw it. For me and other reporters, I never thought it would be a commonplace thing. I mean, the phone without the car cost, I don't know, fifteen hundred dollars. I thought it was a great, great investment and a tax deduction to boot. And so I bought it, and soon I was going everywhere with it and talking to my friends and calling my girlfriend on it and calling into the office to say I might be late. And calling into the office to go on the radio or sometimes the television, to the marvel of other reporters who said, what are you doing with a car phone if you don't have a car? You don't even drive. I said, well, that's what made me think of getting one without a car, because I don't drive. Needless to say, by 1988, the car phone was as attached to me as it was to any car in Southern California. I was the guy with the phone. You can always reach Keith, wherever he is. He's walking outside the Arby's here in Hollywood, if you want him to stop by and get something for you, like, this was times square in 1981. He's probably passing Arby's right now. So the first time I came to New York with a car phone, a mobile phone, nobody apparently had done this in New York. And so I got off the train in Grand Central Station, walked through it, and as I pushed past through the doors onto the brilliant, humid sunrise of midday New York bustling with street traffic, hawkers of every possible item, like the streets of Marrakesh, the phone rang and I reached into my little shoulder bag and pulled it out and went, hello? At which point about 100 people on the street on 42nd street froze where they stood and their jaws simultaneously dropped. If my pants had disappeared, not been removed, but disappeared, vanished, and I was standing there in my underwear, suddenly, they could not have been more astonished. What is he doing? I heard someone say. Is it a walkie talkie? My God, what is it? Is it a bomb? It was, in fact, a wrong number. And I hung up and looked around and literally did one of those, what moments. It's a phone. So my trip, wherever I was going, was delayed by 15 minutes, as I explained to a series of passersby. And New Yorkers are never as friendly as when they want something from you. I say this as a New Yorker who's done it himself. I had to explain to them what it was. Oh, how did you buy a car phone without a car? That question dogged me until we began to see the widespread use of cell phones in the early 90s. I was the first, apparently. I was the first person in the history of New York to publicly answer a cell phone call. I should have written the date down. I don't have that record anywhere. It's too bad. It was as historic an event as the invention of the telephone or the installation of electric light in New York City. And it was my phone, and I'm sure within minutes I passed a payphone on 42nd street, and I did not hear that as I passed it with my cell phone in my hand. I did not hear the payphone that knew what it portended, the payphone that was silently weeping. I've done all the damage I can do here, including making up that last part, but it's a wow finish, wasn't it? Thank you for listening. Brian Ray and John Philip Chenale, the musical directors of Countdown, arranged, produced and performed most of our music. Mr. Chenale handled orchestration and keyboards. Mr. Ray was on guitars, bass and drums. And it was produced by TKO Brothers. Our pithy and satirical musical comments are by the best baseball stadium organist ever, Nancy Foust. The sports music is the Olbermann Theme from ESPN2, written by Mitch Warren Davis, courtesy of ESPN Inc. The whole thing with the cell phone was so long ago that it was contemporaneous with ESPN making its second job offer to me. I only accepted the third one anyway. Other music arranged and performed by the group no Horns Allowed. And my announcer today was my friend John Dean. Everything else was, as ever, my fault. Phone for you. That's Countdown for today. Day 102 of America held hostage just 1,361 days until the scheduled end of his lame duck and lame brained term. Unless Musk removes him sooner or the actuarial tables due. The next scheduled countdown is Monday. As always, bulletins as the news warrants. Remember, impeach Trump. It won't work now. It will win the Democrats the midterms and the polling suggests they could win all the midterms. Also, I want polling on a presidential recall vote. Let's put pressure on these guys.
