SERIES 2 EPISODE 118: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN

A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: His whores in the House of Representatives led by Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Elise Stefanik have inadvertently admitted that Trump HAS been DISQUALIFIED from being president under the language of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. They have introduced a bill in the House declaring that Trump did not engage in insurrection and J.D. Vance did the same in the Senate and why does that sound SO FAMILIAR?

Oh, right! The final sentence of the 14th Amendment!

"Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.” 

No they’re not CALLING it that; they may not even understand that THAT is what it IS, but they have just introduced measures in the House and the Senate to legally or symbolically enact the Congressional override OF The Disqualification Clause of the 14th Amendment AS PROVIDED IN the The Disqualification Clause of the 14th Amendment. 

And to DO that you are admitting, explicitly or tacitly, that the 14thAmendment APPLIES TO TRUMP. Why declare him “not an insurrectionist” if it doesn’t matter whether anybody CALLS him an insurrectionist?

And the only reason you would actually INTRODUCE such a bill is if you A) were just told that the Supreme Court may very well agree that the Constitution is clear and Colorado is right and Trump is ALREADY disqualified and you had damn well better at least TRY to legislate him OUT of disqualification… OR – more likely - B) if you had just become convinced that all the other phony-baloney arguments saving Trump from disqualification like “he’s not an OFFICER” were falling apart and that this battle – in the Supreme Court, or in the legislature of every state of the union – is going to revert back to, is going to BOIL DOWN to, whether or not Disloyalty J. Trump “engaged in insurrection or rebellion or given aid or comfort to the enemies” and you need to give your master something – anything – a fig leaf, a cheeseburger, with which to cover himself for the battle to come.

Maybe a diaper.

ALSO: The DC District Court not only voted unanimously against Trump's hallucination that there is "presidential immunity" but took 57 pages to tell him, thus leaving the Supreme Court almost no way to overrule them. The trial now could start as early as June 1 and should be done no later than October 20. 

House Republicans aren't just schmucks they're fail-schmucks. When they couldn't impeach DHS Secretary Mayorkas Greene blamed the Democrats for "hiding" their votes because of course nobody knows how many Democrats there are in the House. And President Biden did exactly what I suggested, pointed to the border deal, said the Republicans blew it up merely to serve Trump. And then, Nikki Haley agreed with him. 

B-Block (26:25) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Laura Ingraham and Speaker Mike Johnson openly laugh at the idea of paying the members of the Border Patrol more. What WAS Marjorie Taylor Greene doing in the House Men's Room? Tucker Carlson is interviewing Putin because he thinks no other American reporters bothered to. Does this asshole know who Evan Gershkovich is?

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. His
whores in the House of Representatives, led by Matt Gates,

(00:24):
have inadvertently admitted that disqualified Jay Trump has been disqualified
from being president again under the language of Section three
of the fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Oops,
this idiot Gates Buttthead from Beavis and Butt heead gets

(00:45):
up there at a news conference after the district Court
has ruled against Trump, but before the impeachment of majorcas
has completely collapsed, but after the impeachment of Biden has collapsed,
and after Biden does exactly what I said yesterday he
should do. Then goes and pins the border deal collapse
and all future problems at the border on Trump and
what am I Joe Scarborough, and all of that deserves

(01:07):
further analysis and each component we'll get it here presently.
But this Gates admission about Trump's ineligibility flew right over
the heads of nearly everybody, and perhaps understandably, because what
everybody there saw was panic so abundant that the panic

(01:27):
was thicker than the moose in Matt Gates's hair.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
We are here today to authoritatively express that President Trump
did not commit an insurrection, and we believe Congress has
a unique role in making that declaration. It's not the
job of the States, and especially not the job of
some bureaucrats in Colorado to make this assessment and interfere
with the rights of voters to cast their vote for
the candidate of their choice.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
We have sixty three co.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Sponsors to the resolution that mister Fonnica and I will
be filing today to express the sense of Congress that
President Trump did not commit an in I want to
express my gratitude to Senator Vance for filing the companion
legislation over in the.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
Senate, a bill in both houses to declare Trump did
not engage in insurrection. Why does that sound so familiar? Hm?

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Oh right.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
The Fourteenth Amendment, Section three disqualification from holding office. Quote,
No person shall hold any office civil or military under
the United States who, having previously taken an oath to
support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged
in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid
or comfort to the enemies thereof. But there's always a butt.

(02:51):
But Congress may, by a vote of two thirds of
each House, remove such disability. So Gates and his fellow
conspirator is just introduced a bill in each house to
remove such disability. No, they're not calling it that, They

(03:15):
say it's a sense of the House resolution. They may
not even understand that that is what it is. But
they have just introduced measures in the House and in
the Senate to legally or symbolically enact the congressional override
contained in the disqualification clause of the fourteenth Amendment, as
provided in the disqualification Clause of the fourteenth Amendment. And

(03:38):
to do that you are admitting explicitly or just tacitly,
that the fourteenth Amendment applies to Trump. Why declare him
not an insurrectionist? If it doesn't matter whether anybody calls
him an insurrectionist. And the only reason you would actually

(04:00):
introduce such a bill is if you a had just
been told the Supreme Court may very well agree that
the Constitution is clear and the state of Colorado is right,
and Trump is already disqualified, and you had damn well
better at least try to legislate him out of disqualification, or,

(04:20):
more likely b if you had just become convinced that
all the other phony maloney bullshit arguments saving Trump from disqualification, like, well,
the president is not an officer. We're falling apart, and
that this battle in the Supreme Court or in the
legislature of every state is going to revert back to

(04:43):
is going to boil down to whether or not disloyalty J.
Trump engaged in insurrection or rebellion or given aid or
comfort to the enemies engaged in And you need to
give your master something anything, a fig leaf, a cheeseburger,
a diaper with which to cover himself for the battle

(05:04):
to come over, whether or not he is an insurrectionist.
Let me just say this again to be clear. The
fourteenth Amendment says the House and Senate can vote to
remove the disqualification for insurrection for anybody. So Gates and
the rest of the clown Car Caucus introduce a measure

(05:24):
in the House, and Jdiliner Vance introduces one in the
Senate to declare Trump is not guilty of insurrection, Which
means they are suddenly buying into the fourteenth Amendment and
now they are hoping to overcome it not by typical
Trump legal bullshit, but on the actual factual merits. So

(05:46):
add to their panic over Trump's loss on presidential immunity
and the collapse of the impeachments, and how the border
bill sabotage has blown up in the Republicans' faces. Add
to all that the possibility that they know more about
how the Supreme Court case may actually turn out than
the rest of us. Do say nothing of the reality

(06:07):
that if the fourteenth Amendment applies to defendant Jay Trump,
it also applies to them, that it applies to all
of them who showed up yesterday to just coincidentally, at
this particular time, just coincidentally, to try to pass a
bill in each House to remove such disability, all of

(06:33):
them who were there. Matt You're sixteen, You're beautiful, and
your mind gates. Marjorie Barney, Rubbell Taylor, green Elease, the
woman from the Doctor Rick Insurance commercial, Stephanic Lauren all
hands on deck Bobert, and the hypnotizing exotic dancing of

(06:54):
Anna Paulina Luna and her lunatics. As they stood there,
you could see it, you could almost smell it. They
dissolved into full fledged, unmitigated panic. And it was wonderful.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
When they came to Washington and protested all of you
called it an insurrection. And then when Joe Biden was
inaugurated and this entire Capital complex was surrounded with thirty
thousand National Guard troops, none of you stood there and
called that an insurrection. Oh no, you all stayed silent.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
If brains were dynamite, Marjorie Taylor Green would not have
enough to blow her nose.

Speaker 4 (07:40):
Democrats and dishonest people in the media every single day
accused President Trump of waging and insurrection and accuse many
of us of waging an insurrection. And you're doing nothing
but lying and selling the lies of the Democrats offer
campaigns and elections. Shame on every single person that has

(08:02):
done that.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Shame on you.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
Same shame if you know a story that Arnold Diaz
should investigate called one eight seven, shame on you. That's
one eight seven seven four two six three six six eight. Sorry,
I couldn't I couldn't resist. She made me think of
the consumer reporter from Channel two here, Arnold Diaz, who

(08:26):
just passed away. God is she stupid? And so is
Gates and Bobert and Luna and Stefanic and jd Vance
in the Senate and the six pasty white guys in
the back who look like comer but aren't comer because
they have just introduced a measure that they've dressed up
as a sense of the House resolution. But if the

(08:48):
Democrats and the other anti Trump pro democracy people handle
it right, this can simply be a House and Senate
referendum on whether Trump gets the two thirds vote he
needs to wash away his disqualification under the fourteenth which
was just acknowledged by Gates and Bobert Lunans the phonic advance,

(09:09):
and he won't get it. He will not get the
two thirds required to clean his hands. Gates, Bobert, Lunance,
the phanic advance. They all just admitted it. They just
set him up to lose, to be called an insurrectionist. Gates,

(09:30):
Bobert Lunist, the phan advance. Oh and the and those
pasty boys too, our new trunk legal theme. More about

(10:00):
it later. First the news the DC District Court's ruling
to defended j. Trump shorter version go f yourself unanimous
three zip vote. There is no such thing as presidential immunity.
The judges dissed him with the most epic put down
a narcissist could receive. Quote. Former President Trump has become

(10:22):
citizen Trump. You have until Monday to appeal to the
Supreme Court. Do not pass, go, do not collect eighty
three point three million dollars only. Their ruling is fifty
seven pages long, and each page is a new variation
on Trump. Go f yourself quote. Trump's stance would collapse

(10:46):
our system of separated powers by placing the president beyond
the reach of all three branches. Presidential immunity against federal
indictment would mean that, as to the president, the Congress
could not legislate, the executive could not prosecute, and the
judiciary could not rear you. We cannot accept that the

(11:07):
office of the presidency places its former occupants above the
law for all time thereafter. We cannot accept former President
Trump's claim that a president has unbounded authority to commit
crimes that would neutralize the most fundamental check on executive power,
the recognition and implementation of election results. Nor can we

(11:31):
sanction his apparent contention that the executive has carte blanche
to violate the rights of individual citizens to vote and
to have their votes count. They use the word cannot
thirteen different times. Cannot presume, cannot result, cannot accept defendant

(11:51):
Jay Trump already says he'll go to the Supreme Court
if he can't find another sucker lawyer to do it
for him by Monday. That's it. The Appeals Court has
essentially blocked the ordinary follow up stall of taking it
to the full Appeals Court for a rehearing. It's Supreme
Court or go home. Trump is still somehow clinging to
the idea that everybody from Andrew Hamilton to Richard Nixon

(12:14):
and Gerald Ford to these three justices ruling yesterday are
wrong and the voices in his head are right. This
decision would terribly injure not only the presidency but the
life comma breath, comma and success of our country. This
shithead is so stupid, so addled, so demented, so desperately

(12:37):
needing an editor, that he no longer knows or never knew,
that the phrase is life's breath, not life comma breath.
Honest to God, It's like the Fascists and the Republicans
and the Russians and every stupid and hateful failed voter
in this country managed to elect a trained Seal as president,

(13:01):
and trained is doing a lot of heavy lifting in
that description. A nation destroying ruling like this cannot be
allowed to stend. A president will be afraid to act
for fear of the opposite party's vicious retribution, he said, again,
threatening not merely Obama and Biden and Clinton and Bush

(13:21):
for that matter, but more importantly, again threatening the Supreme Court.
Seems to me that when you are obviously going to
lose a case in the Supreme Court which you only
launched to stall, and there is going to be a
second case in the Supreme Court that they may actually
hear and they may actually disqualify you under the Constitution,

(13:44):
the last thing you should be doing right now is
threatening the Supreme Court. But then, I'm not a brain damaged,
criminally insane, clinically narcissistic, terroristic, murderous, congenital liar who, in
a perfect storm of misinformation and hatred and stupidity was
somehow elected president. Well I'm not that yet anyway. Oh,

(14:09):
there I go, scarboroughing again. The aces at just Security
dot Org. Ryan Goodman and company have war gamed the
revised trial timeline. And there are five timeline scenarios, only
one of which gives Trump what he wants. If the
court hears his appeal Monday and grants him the stay
the freezing of Jack Smith's case against him and grants

(14:31):
it to him indefinitely. It would be two months at
least before the Court would have to do anything, and
that could theoretically delay the start of the trial until October,
given the strength of the Appeals Court's language. Though Scotus
watchers think this is really really unlikely. They also think
it's really really unlikely that on Monday, the Supreme Court

(14:54):
will just say it's not even gonna hear Trump's appeal
and that he's lost. I mean, they do owe him something,
and if they forget that, he will tell them. The
three other timelines are far likely. The Court could sit
on the case for ten days after Monday, then throw
it back to district court, a win for Jack Smith.
In that scenario, trial begins around June first, ends around

(15:16):
September first, or on Monday. The court could treat the
hearing itself as a kind of built in petition for
cert just decided already, and you could have a Supreme
Court ruling before the middle of April. The trial could
start before the middle of July. The trial could end
around October fifteenth. In the third likely scenario, there's a
little bit more paperwork, and the trial now starts after

(15:39):
July nineteenth and ends after October nineteenth. Shorter version the
three biggest options. Trial begins by June first, July fifth,
or July nineteenth. Trial ends by September first, October fifth,
October twentieth, not fallid in California. Your mileage may Bury
member FDI C no guarantee of a Perry Mason moment,

(16:01):
which may only be made by prospectus. Yeah, that's the
new Trump legal theme, as created by Brian Ray and
John Phillip Scheneil. Now, yesterday and today our theater has
been jammed with newspapermen and hundreds of photographers from all

(16:23):
over the nation, and these veterans agreed with me that
the city has never witnessed the excitement stirred by these
youngsters from California who call themselves TKO Brothers. Now tonight
you're going to twice be entertained by them. Right here
and again in second half of our shoe ladies and gentlemen,
we will play the full legal theme. They call it
ninety one trombones at the end of the podcast. Now,

(16:52):
in what would have been the lead story if a
couple of things had or had not happened. Not only
are the Republicans in the House schmucks, but they're fail
schmucks who failed last night to pass their Israel only
bill that Biden would have vetoed anyway, and they failed
to impeach their year long target Homeland Security Secretary Majorcus.

(17:13):
They got it to two fifteen two fifteen, and all
they had to do at that point was talk one
of the nays into voting for it, and they held
the vote open for several minutes beyond the five minute deadline,
and nothing. Fail schmucks. Three Republicans voted against Gallagher Wisconsin,

(17:34):
Buck of Colorado, McClintock of California, Blake Moore of Utah
switched his vote from yes to no in a Roberts
rules of Order procedural move which you'll remember if you
took Roberts rules of Order, and which will allow them
to bring the bill back later so they can get
their asses kicked again hit one of these.

Speaker 5 (17:55):
Votes that they had. So was this something that people
would see? Is that something that.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
Helped I'm glad. I'm glad you asked that, because well,
we can basically look like look at this as a
game unfortunately, and their strategy and they hid one of
their members waiting to the last minute watching to see
our votes, trying to throw us off on the numbers
that we had versus the numbers they had. So yeah,

(18:21):
that was a strategy at play tonight.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
Yeah, because the number of Democrats serving in the House
of Representatives is a secret that's not publicly known how
many Democrats there are voting. I was tell there would
be no math, and no English and no science. Guess
croth fit. I was told there would only be crot fit.

(18:43):
A lot of theories as to why the Republicans couldn't
even pull off this stunt, but mine is those three
no's just could not face the reality of the list
of the eleven planned impeachment managers for the MAJORCIS circus.
Those impeachment managers were to include Congressman Fluger, that really

(19:05):
weird looking Hageman who beat Liz Cheney and Wyoming Barney,
Rubbell Green, and Clay De's ghost Busses Higgins. I think
the problem was Speaker Johnson had not lined anybody up
to translate what the impeachment managers would have said into
human language. Excuse me, I'd demand to speak to the

(19:27):
impeachment manager. The other thing that could have happened and
changed the lead story would have been if two dozen
Republicans had the guts to stand up to Trump and
crush him, it could still happen. I mean we had three.
In the case of two dozen, the president of the
United States the real one would have been the lead

(19:48):
story by gently and quietly squashing the cowards over the
border deal, back of Joe Biden's hand to those who
thought he would roll over for the Republican terrorists to
deliberately blow up the border deal, to sabotage America, fix
the election for Trump, and profit off of all of
it professionally and possibly financially.

Speaker 6 (20:07):
But if the bill fails, I want to be absolutely
clear about something. American people are going to know why
it failed. I'll be taking this issue of the country
and the voters are going to know that is not
just a moment, just at the moment. We're going to
secure the border and fund these other programs. Trump and
the Magaan Republicans said no because they're afraid of Donald Trump.

(20:32):
Fraid of Donald Trump. Every day between now and November,
the American people are going to know that the only
reason the border is not secure is Donald Trump.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
That's right. The Republicans sabotage the deal. The Republicans don't
give a crap about the border. The Republicans don't give
a crap about immigrants. The Republicans don't give a crap
about legal immigration or illegal immigration, or fentanyl or terrorism
or anything else they ever told you they gave a
crap about. They blew it up, the maniacs.

Speaker 5 (21:05):
You blew it up.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Because Trump told them to, and they are Trump's slaves.
And you know who agrees with that, Nikki Haley.

Speaker 6 (21:17):
He never talks about securing the border unless he's saying
stop it because I don't want it to happen until
the election.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
Meanwhile, back in the Senate, the same Republican senators from
Mitch McConnell to the actual negotiator James Langford, who caved
into the fascists and helped blow up the deal. Monday,
they've got a new idea in the Senate, a border deal,
only it's all about aid to Israel, aid to Ukraine,
and aid to Taiwan. And the border deal has nothing
to do with the border. Genius said tell us. You,

(21:49):
of course, that is where the Democrats had these negotiations
in September, and you know who, because of all of this,
had the most terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day yesterday.
Listen as Jamie Raskin treats Marjorie green Lie well like
somebody who's indictable. I yield back, well the genlemad yield

(22:11):
for a question.

Speaker 4 (22:12):
No, I will not yield to one of your stupid
questions that are always attacking me and attacking President Trump.
How about immediately, I don't want to I do not
want to question now, smart question, intelligent question. You have
no smarter intelligent questions?

Speaker 1 (22:29):
Good Lord, I know several fire extinguishers smarter than she is.
Also of interest here, Russian tool Tucker Carlson says he
is in Moscow to interview Putin because no Western journalist
has bothered to do so. Honest to God, I worked

(22:51):
with him fifteen years ago and he was just as corrupt,
but nowhere near this stupid and his material was nowhere
near this week Could a fascist get brained damage just
from being a fascist? And the premiere of the Brian
Ray John Phillip shaneil Trump Trials theme uninterrupted. That's next.

(23:18):
This is countdown.

Speaker 5 (23:22):
You know, this is Countdown with you know Keith Alberman.

Speaker 1 (23:47):
Still a head on Countdown as promised right here in
her shoe the premiere of the full length edition of
the new Countdown Trump Trial theme music, which you heard
a snippet of many show business veterans agree with me.
Brian Ray, John Phillip shaneil Tko Brothers and ninety one
Trombones uninterrupted by voiceover coming up first time for the

(24:10):
daily roundup of the miss Grants, Morons and Dunning Krug
Griffeth specimens who constitute two days worse persons in the world,
Lebron's worse Laura Ingram and house speaker Mike Johnson. That's
one mighty ugly Johnson. You have right there, Laura on

(24:30):
your show. And you and I know that they hate workers,
and they look down on unions and mock people who
don't have as much money as they do. But it's
something else altogether to hear them say it. And remember,
ten years after she made it big, Laura would not
give her mother any money. And not only that, she

(24:50):
made her mother keep working as a waitress at Willie's Steakhouse.
In Manchester, Connecticut until mom was seventy three, so Mom
could pay off Laura's college loans. When Mike Johnson thinks
he's Moses, not Moses Malone or Robert Moses or Moses Gun,

(25:12):
the actor Moses Moses. And this is still stunning to
actually hear the two of them laugh at the agents
who work on the American Mexican border, the security patrols,
the guys who take that risks, whatever you think they
are doing there. It's stunning to hear two people laugh
at the concept that maybe those people deserve living wages.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
The Border Patrol Union has said come out and said
the bill is better than the status quo.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
Does that affect your thinking on this well.

Speaker 4 (25:46):
I think it does have something to do with the
pay structure that's in the bill. I understand that they're
desperate for measures that will assist.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
Okay scumbags Mike Johnson and Laura Ingram scum bags, the
runner up worser. Why here's somebody we haven't heard anything
from lately. Marjorie Taylor, Shane Chain, shame, Barney Rubbel, trash.
Green Congressman Jim McGovern slammed her for threatening a censure

(26:14):
resolution against Congresswoman Ilhan Omar over an inaccurate translation of
remarks Omar made. McGovern said she introduced it quote because
she doesn't know how to use Google Translate. Marge made
the mistake of responding. She tweeted, Wow, that that's.

Speaker 5 (26:34):
Comment from the theame guy who is well known to
lay his fut jacket on the actual bathroom flying while
spending a lot of time in the thaw of the
first flung bathroom out of the Capitol. What Jim McGovern
then wrote would have killed Marge, except Marge is clearly
the undead still to quote McGovern, no idea what you're

(26:58):
talking about? What are you doing in the men's bathroom? See,
that's the best kind of insult. You know what he's saying.
I know what he's.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
Saying, but he never says it. I do wonder though,
if Marge knows what he's saying. But the winner the
worst Tucson Carlson, Well, there it is. The fired from Fox,
fired from MSNBC, fired from CNN host put out another
video from Moscow, which he mispronounced Moscow. Standing there in

(27:36):
the freezing cold and bad lighting and slathered on makeup,
Bright Brown explaining he is, in fact there to interview Putin.
Two clips from his video to play you. Firstly, Tucker
mistakenly identified himself as a quote journalist unquote. Then we're

(27:56):
in Moscow tonight.

Speaker 7 (27:57):
We're here to interview the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin.
We'll be doing that soon. There are risks to conducting
an interview, obviously, so we thought about it carefully over
many months.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
Here's why we're doing it well, because Hitler is dead anyway.
Carlson then said something that is either incredibly naive or
incredibly stupid. And I use those words because I've always
thought of Tucker Carlson as evil, conniving, snakelike, anti christ like,

(28:29):
but never as naive or stupid. I think I think
there's really something wrong with his brain. Now, as in Buddy,
get a cat scan.

Speaker 7 (28:39):
Not a single Western journalist has bothered to interview the
president of the other country involved in this conflict, Vladimir Putin.
Most Americans have no idea why Putin invaded Ukraine.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
Right you know? Vladd called me and he said, I'd
like to come on your podcast, Keith, and I said, sorry, bub,
I don't have guests. And then he went over to see.
Steve Rosenberg, the Moscow editor of the BBC, went to
his house. He brought two tape recorders and two les
a vodka and he said, please, Steve, won't you interview me?
And Steve said no, we don't have any time on

(29:11):
the BBC. We only have the forty three channels and
the seven hundred and twelve different languages. What an idiot
Tucker Carlson is. Western journalists constantly cover Russia's side of
this story and requests interviews of the Russian dictator, and
Putin denies or ignores them, or worse, Tucker Carlson needs
to learn the name Evan Gershkovich. Wall Street Journal been

(29:34):
in jail three hundred and sixteen days now because Putin
had him arrested for being a journalist. God, how I
wish Putin would arrest Tucker Carlson, or that we could
trade Tucker Carlson for Goshkovich. But that won't happen because
Tucker Carlson got his interview because Putin believes Carlson is

(29:54):
loyal to Russia and not this country. Still do a
good job, Tucker, interviewing your boss, because if you don't,
I'm just saying stay away from any windows if you
know what I mean, Babe Tucker, And why is Biden
ducking me? Carlson two days worst person? And in the

(30:33):
show close every day I always say the same thing, countdown.
Musical directors Brian Ray and John Phillip Schanel arranged, produced,
and performed most of our music. Mister Ray was on
the guitars, bass and drums, and mister Schaneale handled orchestration
and keyboards. Produced by TKO Brothers. Well, now we'll let
Brian Ray and John Phillip Shanel take the stage for

(30:56):
the Spotlight dance. Brian has been a friend of mine
for I guess about fifteen years now. He works with
this guy Paul McCoy Arth McCartney's and the Beatles. I
think in any event, he's been my friend, and he
also worked with the other guy. This was Brian's idea

(31:17):
music that he wanted to compose just for when I
cover the Trump trials and since the most annoying thing
in the world is a show that has good music,
great music, its own music. Thank you, Brian, but never
lets you hear the music, which I did in the
first segment of this podcast, ladies and gentlemen, Ray and

(31:39):
Chanel le Tko brothers themselves, and the theme from the
Trump Trials ninety one trombones.

Speaker 5 (34:29):
Ah, thank you boys, John Phillips, Chanel and Brian Ray.

Speaker 1 (34:36):
And we call it ninety one trombones. Why ninety one trombones,
one for each count in each indictment. Well, I've done

(35:00):
