Summary
EPISODE 101: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN
A-Block (1:43) SPECIAL COMMENT: Be as righteously indignant as you want, Democrats. But do NOT attempt to block the seating of George "If That Is Your Real Name" Santos. No matter which way Kevin McCarthy turns, Santos will be his undoing, so just shut up and invest in popcorn. As a Republican District Attorney opens a probe of his campaign and his cornucopia of lies, Santos is still doubling down and dismissing as "nitpicking" those recoiling at his lies about his religion, family, the Holocaust, the Pulse Nightclub, 9/11, his finances, jobs, education, time spent in Brazil, time spent in Russia, possible criminal records, buildings he does or doesn't own, and lies about a DOG RESCUE. This is not a man even approaching the building that contains the hallway that leads to step one of the 12-Step Program for compulsive liars. It's so bad one Republican ex-Congressman is openly hoping they can seat Santos, then talk him into voting for McCarthy for Speaker, and only then resigning!
B-Block (19:45) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Maltipoo Honey in New York (20:53) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: I'm running for CEO of Twitter, the health of Jamie Raskin, the Bill Cosby Comeback-And-Spiked-Drink Tour (22:54) IN SPORTS: The Raiduhs Quarterback must go down and he must go down hard (24:38) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The New York Times can't stop itself: now it's hyping books written by three correspondents who held news back from The Times in order to get book deals. Plus Elon Musk, and Mayor Eric Adams endorsing turning New York over to "Big Brother."
C-Block (29:12) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Because I found the cassette recently, please enjoy the first professional sportscast I ever did, on July 10, 1979, plus sportscasts from Disco Demolition Night and the retirement of Catfish Hunter. Or don't. I won't hold it against you if you don't listen to 43-year old sportscasts!

| 0:00.0 | Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of I Heart Radio. |
| 0:17.2 | George Santos matters because Kevin McCarthy matters because if Kevin McCarthy oust George |
| 0:24.0 | Santos, Kevin McCarthy may never become speaker of the house because George Santos will not be |
| 0:28.8 | there to vote for him. But if Kevin McCarthy protects George Santos, Kevin McCarthy then |
| 0:34.8 | owns George Santos for the rest of his natural life. Which is why, strategically, the Democrats |
| 0:42.4 | should not try to prevent George Santos from being seated in the new Congress. Either way, |
| 0:47.6 | McCarthy plays it, he will lose. Let Santos hang from the collective Republican neck as long |
| 0:54.2 | as possible, dividing them and overshadowing their agenda and utter cutting their |
| 0:59.2 | farcical investigations of corruption while congressman catch me if you can, sucks all the air out |
| 1:06.3 | of the capital. Especially since the Republican district attorney of Nassau County, New York, |
| 1:13.1 | the center of the district that elected this Charlotteson announced late yesterday she is investigating |
| 1:19.2 | Santos. His lies, she says, quote, are nothing short of stunning. If a crime was committed in this |
| 1:26.4 | county, we will prosecute it. Yes, do that. If a Republican DA is going to investigate a Republican |
| 1:33.5 | congressman tied to the leader of the Republicans in the House for wholesale scale, lying to get elected |
| 1:38.5 | Democrats, get out of the Republicans way, shut up and invest in popcorn. |
| 1:44.8 | All of which is why a former Republican congressman went on the Newsmax propaganda feed |
| 1:52.2 | late yesterday and suggested in passing the most Kevin McCarthy way out of this imaginable. |
| 1:58.8 | Get George Santos to vote for McCarthy for Speaker and then get him to resign from the House. |
| 2:06.1 | The problem with that genius scheme, of course, is that there is not the slightest sign that this |
| 2:11.0 | con man is ready to admit he has lied at all. Never mind the slightest sign that he would be willing |
| 2:16.5 | to quit before or after he is sworn in. As of his most recent public interview, it is now infamous |
