SEASON 3 EPISODE 104: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN
BULLETIN: Firstly I apologize to President Volodomir Zelensky and the people of Ukraine, on behalf of the United States of America.
The REAL people of the United States of America, not the half-brained Russian stooges and assets. Our sense of shame and regret is immeasurable. OURS, the REAL people of the United States of America - almost always generous, largely well-intentioned, and when we are neither, when we are at our most self-centered, at LEAST smart enough and willing to let other people fight our fights for us, and die battling fascists and dictators like Putin instead of us.
We will never let Trump forget what he did to you do today. We will make him atone. And all those who serve him and do not resign just in sheer embarrassment over being so wrong so loudly and in the service of such a moron as Trump – they have from this day forfeited their legitimacy as quote “leaders” of this nation, as the pack of diarrhetic farm animals Trump calls a cabinet has from this day forfeited ITS legitimacy as a government.
And to that point, Trump must now lose power.
Today was a 24-hour consumer boycott, poorly publicized, poorly covered by our increasingly stenographic media. Now we must have a 24-day consumer boycott. Then a 24-month consumer boycott.
Today we witnessed the most disgraceful and un-American act by any president in our history and I include Nixon and Watergate, and Bush and Iraq, and everything Trump has previously done. Now we must consume his presidency and force it to do nothing but defend this disgusting, pre-planned act on behalf of Putin and Russia every hour and every day and every week until we force him to resign the presidency.
On Presidents Day the 50501 Movement protested in Washington and in state capitols. Now we must protest Trump and his attempt, of which today’s shameful attack on Zelensky WAS a part, to install him permanently in power, and we must do it every day, in every city, until nothing else in this country matters and nothing else in this country HAPPENS.
In the ‘60s and before and after we mobilized on the street to protest and stop the degradation of our citizens of color and the murder of our citizens of EVERY color via the draft and the Vietnam War. Now we must have protests that recognize that at this moment, all of us, you and me, are being shaped by Trump and his terrorist gang into the equivalent of the victims of segregation and the draftees sent to Southeast Asia to be slaughtered. Civil disobedience, tax strike, general strike.
Today, CNN, Politico, The Washington Post and others downplayed what Trump did and positioned it as a "scolding" or a "shouting match" as opposed to a deranged attack by a deranged man. Now, these news organizations must either stop pandering to an immoral dictator or lose as he will.
Because Trump crossed his Rubicon today.

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. Firstly,
I apologize to President Vladimir Zelenski and the people of
Ukraine on behalf of the people of the United States
of America, the real people of the United States of America,
(00:29):
not the half brained Russian stooges and assets. Our sense
of shame and regret is today immeasurable. Ours the real
people of the United States of America. We are almost
always generous, We are largely well intentioned, and when we
(00:49):
are neither, when we are at our most self centered,
at least we are heretofore smart enough and willing enough
to let other people fight our fights for us, as
Ukraine is, and let others die battling fascists and dictators
and scum like Putin instead of us. Forgive us, President Zelenski,
(01:16):
for having inflicted this idiot animal trump upon you, and
for permitting him and his little worthless idiot bitch vance
to ambush you that way, and for admitting to your
meeting a reporter from TASS, the Russia propaganda source vaguely
(01:37):
dressed up as a news organization, and for harboring this
South African stoner. Credit grabbing idiot and permitting him to
taunt you as you left the White House, and as
you departed the White House, to return the sum of
all the human dignity in the White House right now
to zero. We will never let Trump forget what he
(02:01):
did to you today. We will make him a t
own and all those who serve him and do not
resign and disassociate themselves from him immediately just out of
sheer embarrassment over being so wrong, so loudly, and being
in the service of such a moron as Trump. They
(02:22):
have from this day forfeited their legitimacy as quote leaders
unquote of this nation. As the pack of diuretic farm
animals Trump calls a cabinets has also from this day
forward forfeited its legitimacy as our government. And to that point,
Trump must now lose power. We the people of the
(02:45):
United States of America, will not live in a kleptocracy.
We the people of the United States of America, will
not live in an idiocracy. We the people of the
United States of America, will not live in a muskocracy.
Today there was a twenty four hour consumer boycott, poorly publicized,
(03:10):
poorly covered by our increasingly stenographic media until it was
about halfway over. Now after today, we must have a
twenty four day consumer boycott, then a twenty four month
consumer boycott. If this is about businesses rushing to back Trump,
let's break these businesses in half and starve their billionaire owners.
(03:35):
Today we witnessed the most disgraceful and Unamerican act by
any president in our history. And I include Nixon and
Watergate and Bush and Iraq and everything Trump has previously done.
Now we must consume his presidency and force it to
do nothing else henceforth but to defend this disgusting, pre
(03:59):
planned act on behalf of Putin and Russia. To defend
it every hour and every day and every week, and
do nothing else, and accomplish nothing else until we force
him to resign the presidency. On President's Day, the fifty
to fifty one movement fifty states fifty protests one movement
(04:22):
protested in Washington and in state capitals. Now we must
protest Trump and his attempt of which today's shameful attack
don Zelenski was a part to install himself permanently in power.
And we must do it every day in every city
until nothing else in this country matters, and nothing else
in this country happens in the sixties and before, and
(04:50):
in decreasing measures since we mobilized on the streets to
protest and stop the degradation of our citizens of color
and the murder of our citizens of every color via
the Draft and the Vietnam War. Now we must have
(05:11):
protests that recognize that at this moment, all of us,
you and me are being reshaped by Trump and his
terrorist gang into the equivalent of the victims of segregation
and of the draftees sent to Southeast Asia to be slaughtered.
Civil disobedience, tax strike, general strike. Trump must go in
(05:39):
some respects today, Trump did the world a favor. Trump
did America a favor. Trump did you and I a favor.
Do not mistake what happened in the Oval Office today.
That was not Trump losing his temper or giving way
to his only recognizable kind of human instincts, violence and vengeance.
That was an ambush. Vance was there. Vance was only
(06:03):
there to demand z Lensky personally thanked Trump, to personally
kiss Trump's ass, because that's what creatures like Vance exist
to do to service snakes like Trump, to pleasure snakes
like Trump, because even Trump knows you cannot yourself in
public demand that someone else kiss your ass in thanks
(06:26):
to create some diaphanous cover of possible legitimacy, to pretend
that the other person should be grateful to you and
for you. That claim must be made by a third party.
It must be done for you. It is why Vance
is vice president. He has no scruples and no shame.
He was there to read a script, as usual. He
(06:49):
read it poorly, but in Trump's addled, diseased mind, JV.
Vance served his purpose. Even a mediocre dracula with bad
teeth still has to have a ren Field, and Vance
is Trump. No, it was not spontaneous, but many will
(07:09):
think it so, and even those who don't will have
seen the real Trump, the Trump he has so frequently
tried to hide, especially on the campaign trail last year.
I think the world has yet to fully process the
real meaning of Trump's bizarre remark years ago that he
could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue outside his own front
(07:32):
door and not lose any support. The real meaning was
hinted at today in the Oval office. He has thought
about shooting people. Not a fantasy, not a theory, not
a what if he has thought about shooting people, he
(07:52):
had thought through the ramifications of shooting someone on Fifth Avenue.
And when he said what he said, he had just
realized that for whatever cataclysm in our society, the calculus
had changed and he could now get away with it.
Saying he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue was in
fact saying that sooner or later he would shoot someone
(08:15):
on Fifth Avenue or at the White House. And if
not literally, then figuratively. And that person, no doubt, on
Putin's instructions, was Voladimir Zelenski. And everybody who already hated
Trump and recognized the mortal danger he faces to the
world now hates him anew and with freshened vigor, and
everybody who thought he could be contained and directed and
(08:37):
exploited now sees they were again diluting themselves. And then
there are those in the middle who could never really
picture until today what it would look or sound like
if the President of the United States was insane, was
(08:58):
the worst person in the world, was a racist, murderous, psychopathic,
quasi human who isn't even smart enough to realize he
is attacking Zelenski, the man who would save him. On
behalf of putin the man who would destroy them both
those people in the middle. And maybe there are a
(09:21):
million of them, maybe there are one hundred million of them.
I don't know. I don't care. They have now seen
and heard exactly what Trump the animal is, or they
will see and will hear it, or they must see
and must hear it, or we must show it to
(09:43):
them every day for the rest of the Trump dictatorship.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
I'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that's going to
end the destruction of your country.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Yes, but if you present with respect.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I think it's disrespectful for you to come into the
Oval Office to try to litigate this.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
In front of the American media.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Right now, you guys are going around and forcing conscripts
to the front lines because you have manpower problem.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
You should be thinking, the president for everybody to bring
it into this country. You have been to Ukraine that
do you say what problems we have?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
I have been to come on, I've actually I've actually
watched and seen the stories, and I know what happens
is you bring people, you bring them on a propaganda tour.
Mister president, are do you disagree that you've had problems
bringing people in your military.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
And do you think that I expect Alan to come
to the Oval Office.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
In the United States of America and attack the administration
that is trying to trying to prevent the destruction of
your comany.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
A lot of a lot of questions. Let's start from
the beginning, sure Hills to wall. During the war, everybody
has problems, even you. But you have nice otion and
don't feel now.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
But you will feel it in the future. God bless you,
God bless You're not blessed. You don't know.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
You got to Don't tell us what we're going to feel.
We're trying to solve a problem. Don't tell us what
we're going to feel. I'm not telling you because you're
in no position to dictate that.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Remember this, you're in.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
No position to dictate what we're going to feel.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
You're willing to feel very good, feel influenced. We're going
to feel very good and very strong. It will feel influenced.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
You're right now not in a very good position. You've
allowed you to be in a beginning.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
From the very beginning of the war, and not in
a good position. You don't have the cards right now
with us.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
You start having going car right now you don't wear
You're gambling with the lives of millions of people.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
See you're gambling with World War three. You're gambling with
World War three.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
And what you're doing is very disrespectful to the country,
this country.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Far more than a lot of people said they should have.
Have you said thank you once a locker of times.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
No, media, you said, you went to Pennsylvania and campaigned
for the opposition in October. Offer some words of appreciation
for the United States of America and the president who's
trying to save your country.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
That meeting, No, in this entire.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Meeting, you said things you went to Pennsylvania and campaigned
for the opposition in October, offers some words of appreciation
for the United States of America and the president who's
trying to save your country.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Please, you're saying that if you will speak very loudly
about the war. He's not speaking loudly. He's not speaking loudly.
Your country is in big trouble. No, no, can.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
You've done a lot of talking. Your country is in
big trouble. I know you're not winning. You're not winning this.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
You have a damn good chance of winning out.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Okay, because of the president, we are staying Nawa country,
staying strong. From the very beginning of the war, we've
been alone and we have sample.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
I said, thanks, you haven't been scipping it.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
He gave you, stupid president, three hundred and fifty billion dollars.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
You will. We gave your military equipment.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
You you met up bredict, but they have to use
our military one of you.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
If you didn't have our.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
Military equipment, you didn't have of our military equipment, this
war would have been over in two weeks.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
In three days, I heard it from Putin in three days.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
This is how maybe less in two weeks. Of course, yes,
it's gonna be a very hard thing to do business
like this. I'm gonna tell you to say thank you.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
I said it, except for America, except that there are.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Disagreements, and let's.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Go litigate those disagreements rather than trying to.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Fight it out in the American media. When you're wrong,
we know that you're wrong. What if Russia brings the
cease fire? What if anything? What if the bomb drops
on your head right now? Okay? What if they broke it.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
They broke it with Biden because Biden didn't respect him.
They didn't respect Obama, they respect me. Let me tell you,
Putin went through a hell of a lot with me.
He went through a phony witch hunt where they used
him in Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
You ever hear of that deal?
Speaker 5 (13:57):
There was a phony that was a phony Hunter Biden,
Joe Biden scam, Hillary Clinton shifting Adam Schiff, who was
a Democrat scam.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
And he had to go through that, and he did
go through it. We didn't end up in a war,
and he went through it. He was accused of all
that stuff. He had nothing to do with it.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
It came out of Hunter Biden's bathroom. It came out
of Hunter Biden's bedroom.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
It was disgusting.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Burn in hell. Donald Trump. I would say the same
for Vance, but I suspect that even he has just
begun to realize that he is already burning in hell.
He works for Trump. He's realizing it the way Marco
Rubio clearly realized it this afternoon as he sat on
that couch. And perhaps if Marco were smart and he's not,
(14:46):
Marco calculated whether what they were all doing in that
room and outside of it in the world today might
actually constitute a war crime charge against him. Someday in
the not too distant future. And for the record, to
our still cowering news media and it's idiot billionaire owners.
If you think when push comes to show of your
filating of Trump will somehow save you, listen to the
(15:11):
hatred and the venom he voiced at Zelenski. That could
have been you Bezos. That could have been you Zuckerberg,
and soon or late that will be you Musk. But
specifically to the reporters, No Politico, your headline disaster for
(15:35):
Ukraine in the Oval office. You and your right wing
European owners are wrong again. That was a disaster for
Trump in the Oval office. And if that is not
apparent right now, it will be damn fast. No Washington
Post your headline, Trump scolds Zelensky in Oval office. F you,
(15:59):
F you, Jeff Bezos. If everybody who hasn't quit the
Washington Post yet, Woodward and f Bernstein, if you claim
to love the Washington Post, or you ever loved the
Washington Post, repudiate the Washington Post now. It should be
out of business by Monday. It is now a more
(16:21):
dishonorable place to work than Fox News. Because Fox News
didn't just do a one eighty and adopt their positions.
The Washington Post and all those who serve it another
bunch of whores. No, CNN, your headline Zelensky leaves Trump
meeting early after shouting match. No, among other things, that
(16:46):
is factually inaccurate. There was no shouting match. Zelensky did
not shout. There was Trump a feral creature, a wobbling
pile of human feces covered in makeup, yelling at a
real president. To the media, this is your warning. You
(17:06):
may feel the winds blowing in Trump's direction at this hour,
and opposite of everything your predecessors have ever done. You
may think it prudent to blow with raw, arrogant, morally
indefensible power, rather than to fight against the usual role
of the free press in this country when it was
still free to do this. You do so at the
(17:30):
peril of your self destruction. The rubicon was crossed in
the Oval Office today. Formally, officially and legally, Trump is
President of the United States. Morally, he no longer possesses
the title, and his behavior will no longer be tolerated.
Cheerlead for him, media, at the risk of all that
(17:51):
matters to you, which is your money. This This was
your headline, CNN, Politico, Washington Post, the others. This is
your story. This is what history will record, and damn
fast to faster than you could possibly imagine. This was
(18:16):
what happened. Two of the great cowards of history set up, ambushed,
and attacked the twenty first century's most courageous leader, and
its most courageous leader not only took their imbecilities, he
answered them calmly, decisively, inarguably. And the American people have
(18:43):
today seen, and will every day from now on sea
again and again and again, their true enemy, the true
threat to this nation, the true conspiracy, and its name.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Is Trump.

You're right now not in a very good position. You've
allowed you to be in a beginning.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
From the very beginning of the war, and not in
a good position. You don't have the cards right now
with us.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
You start having going car right now you don't wear
You're gambling with the lives of millions of people.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
See you're gambling with World War three. You're gambling with
World War three.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
And what you're doing is very disrespectful to the country,
this country.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Far more than a lot of people said they should have.
Have you said thank you once a locker of times.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
No, media, you said, you went to Pennsylvania and campaigned
for the opposition in October. Offer some words of appreciation
for the United States of America and the president who's
trying to save your country.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
That meeting, No, in this entire.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Meeting, you said things you went to Pennsylvania and campaigned
for the opposition in October, offers some words of appreciation
for the United States of America and the president who's
trying to save your country.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Please, you're saying that if you will speak very loudly
about the war. He's not speaking loudly. He's not speaking loudly.
Your country is in big trouble. No, no, can.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
You've done a lot of talking. Your country is in
big trouble. I know you're not winning. You're not winning this.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
You have a damn good chance of winning out.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Okay, because of the president, we are staying Nawa country,
staying strong. From the very beginning of the war, we've
been alone and we have sample.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
I said, thanks, you haven't been scipping it.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
He gave you, stupid president, three hundred and fifty billion dollars.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
You will. We gave your military equipment.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
You you met up bredict, but they have to use
our military one of you.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
If you didn't have our.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
Military equipment, you didn't have of our military equipment, this
war would have been over in two weeks.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
In three days, I heard it from Putin in three days.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
This is how maybe less in two weeks. Of course, yes,
it's gonna be a very hard thing to do business
like this. I'm gonna tell you to say thank you.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
I said it, except for America, except that there are.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Disagreements, and let's.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Go litigate those disagreements rather than trying to.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Fight it out in the American media. When you're wrong,
we know that you're wrong. What if Russia brings the
cease fire? What if anything? What if the bomb drops
on your head right now? Okay? What if they broke it.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
They broke it with Biden because Biden didn't respect him.
They didn't respect Obama, they respect me. Let me tell you,
Putin went through a hell of a lot with me.
He went through a phony witch hunt where they used
him in Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
You ever hear of that deal?
Speaker 5 (13:57):
There was a phony that was a phony Hunter Biden,
Joe Biden scam, Hillary Clinton shifting Adam Schiff, who was
a Democrat scam.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
And he had to go through that, and he did
go through it. We didn't end up in a war,
and he went through it. He was accused of all
that stuff. He had nothing to do with it.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
It came out of Hunter Biden's bathroom. It came out
of Hunter Biden's bedroom.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
It was disgusting.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Burn in hell. Donald Trump. I would say the same
for Vance, but I suspect that even he has just
begun to realize that he is already burning in hell.
He works for Trump. He's realizing it the way Marco
Rubio clearly realized it this afternoon as he sat on
that couch. And perhaps if Marco were smart and he's not,
(14:46):
Marco calculated whether what they were all doing in that
room and outside of it in the world today might
actually constitute a war crime charge against him. Someday in
the not too distant future. And for the record, to
our still cowering news media and it's idiot billionaire owners.
If you think when push comes to show of your
filating of Trump will somehow save you, listen to the
(15:11):
hatred and the venom he voiced at Zelenski. That could
have been you Bezos. That could have been you Zuckerberg,
and soon or late that will be you Musk. But
specifically to the reporters, No Politico, your headline disaster for
(15:35):
Ukraine in the Oval office. You and your right wing
European owners are wrong again. That was a disaster for
Trump in the Oval office. And if that is not
apparent right now, it will be damn fast. No Washington
Post your headline, Trump scolds Zelensky in Oval office. F you,
(15:59):
F you, Jeff Bezos. If everybody who hasn't quit the
Washington Post yet, Woodward and f Bernstein, if you claim
to love the Washington Post, or you ever loved the
Washington Post, repudiate the Washington Post now. It should be
out of business by Monday. It is now a more
(16:21):
dishonorable place to work than Fox News. Because Fox News
didn't just do a one eighty and adopt their positions.
The Washington Post and all those who serve it another
bunch of whores. No, CNN, your headline Zelensky leaves Trump
meeting early after shouting match. No, among other things, that
(16:46):
is factually inaccurate. There was no shouting match. Zelensky did
not shout. There was Trump a feral creature, a wobbling
pile of human feces covered in makeup, yelling at a
real president. To the media, this is your warning. You
(17:06):
may feel the winds blowing in Trump's direction at this hour,
and opposite of everything your predecessors have ever done. You
may think it prudent to blow with raw, arrogant, morally
indefensible power, rather than to fight against the usual role
of the free press in this country when it was
still free to do this. You do so at the
(17:30):
peril of your self destruction. The rubicon was crossed in
the Oval Office today. Formally, officially and legally, Trump is
President of the United States. Morally, he no longer possesses
the title, and his behavior will no longer be tolerated.
Cheerlead for him, media, at the risk of all that
(17:51):
matters to you, which is your money. This This was
your headline, CNN, Politico, Washington Post, the others. This is
your story. This is what history will record, and damn
fast to faster than you could possibly imagine. This was
(18:16):
what happened. Two of the great cowards of history set up, ambushed,
and attacked the twenty first century's most courageous leader, and
its most courageous leader not only took their imbecilities, he
answered them calmly, decisively, inarguably. And the American people have
(18:43):
today seen, and will every day from now on sea
again and again and again, their true enemy, the true
threat to this nation, the true conspiracy, and its name.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Is Trump.
