Summary
EPISODE 153: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN
A-Block (1:42) SPECIAL COMMENT: Wait - what?
After a lurid week of claiming the entire January 6 Insurrection was just "peaceful sight-seers" disturbed by "hooligans" and insisting that the greatest conspiracy in the history of the country had been effected to transform the country and weaponize this and lie about that, Tucker Carlson suddenly, abruptly, completely and without explanation DROPPED THE JANUARY 6TH VIDEO STORY LAST NIGHT. No Jacob Chansley. No withheld video. No punish Liz Cheney.
It's quiet. It's too quiet.
What happened? The Department of Justice released three videos implicating Chansley, putting him within feet of a Senator (probably Chuck Grassley) during mid-evacuation. A New York State Supreme Court judge let the OTHER voting machine company's defamation lawsuit against Fox proceed. For all we know, Rupert Murdoch called Carlson and said "shut your pie hole." But the sudden silence was almost universal. Seen a tweet from a Congressman lately? Even Elon Musk stopped trying to convince people - on Saturday.
B-Block (19:26) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Yes, you read right. South Carolina state representative introduces bill to institute death penalty for women who get abortions (be pro-life or we'll kill you). A (dubious) report CNN may fire Chris Licht before Labor Day (22:14) IN SPORTS: Garrapolo to Raiders; Bauer to Japan; Unknown Nicaraguan WBC star gets big league contract; in memory of Joe Pepitone. (25:43) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Wall Street Journal blames SVB failure on bank not having enough white guys; Trump talks about education, like he ever had one; and Ron DeSantis can do an interview AND throw a baseball while wearing high heels!
C-Block (34:00) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Sloane in California (35:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Sportscaster Gary Lineker beats the BBC. It ends his suspension, he keeps expressing his political opinions. Utter deja vu for me. In 2010 MSNBC suspended me for doing something I had the right to do, vowed to not pay me for months. That was Friday. By Tuesday I was back on the air and they owed me much, much more money than they had owed me on Friday.

| 0:46.2 | Today, in January 6th Conspiracy Land, it's quiet. It's too quiet. |
| 0:56.0 | No, the DOJ has not arrested Tucker Carlson for obstruction of justice, nor is it likely to, |
| 1:01.5 | but it is clear somebody in there is out to contradict him, humiliate him, and get him fired by Fox. |
| 1:08.8 | And whatever the plan is, it may be working. Something certainly has worked. Tucker Carlson has |
| 1:16.8 | completely punted on the January 6th story. Did not mention it once last night. No Q |
| 1:24.2 | shaman, no conspiracy, no withheld, no fireless, cany-no-wee-demand immediate action, like it never happened. |
| 1:32.0 | Tucker Carlson offered no explanation as he ran away, as to why he ran away. The Department of Justice |
| 1:41.1 | offered lots of explanations. Sunday, it was the release of Memorandum 689 confirming that |
| 1:46.8 | Carlson was lying on television that the Q shaman had access to all the video Carlson showed, |
| 1:53.0 | and all the video Carlson did not show because it would have destroyed his lie while he was lying it. |
| 1:59.4 | Yesterday, the release came of some of that video Carlson is hiding. Again, this release was |
| 2:07.1 | in answer to Dominic Pazola's motion to dismiss the January 6th charges against him, |
| 2:12.4 | quote, due to recent revelations on the Tucker Carlson show. This is the audio track from the |
| 2:19.6 | body cam of one of dozens of officers summoned to the Senate chamber when Jacob Chansely was told |
| 2:25.1 | to leave and he refused, and he and the other insurrectionists had to be boxed out by Capitol |
| 2:31.2 | police. And the voice you will hear is that of Tucker Carlson's mild, mannered, rail-roaded |
