Summary
EPISODE 149: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN
A-Block (1:43) SPECIAL COMMENT: Free advice for Rupert Murdoch: Fire Tucker Carlson - now. And Ingraham. And Hannity. Because between how the January 6 Video Gaslight Gambit failed and backfired and self-owned, and Round 3 of the Dominion Lawsuit Document Dump, it's gonna be him or them and history has proven again and again that it's ALWAYS him.
Carlson's fraud was so bad, and angered so many, that Senator Thom Tillis said "It's bulls**t" and Mitch McConnell said Fox News made a mistake and half a dozen other Republicans ripped the network. And internally, no other Fox host said ANYTHING supportive, on the air or off, until Laura Ingraham finally hit McConnell back at 10 PM last night.
And the Dominion 3rd Tranche may be the killer. Not only is there now a paper trail to Murdoch sharing info - maybe even a copy - of Biden's commercials with Jared Kushner. But in a phrase you will soon see on every political billboard everywhere, there's Carlson texting a Fox producer on January 4 2021: "We are very very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can't wait. I HATE HIM PASSIONATELY."
How much would you pay to charity for the privilege of showing Trump that text?
B-Block (21:0) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Why are TVs in the US Capitol required to be tuned to Fox 'News?' Trump's genius plan to solve Ukraine: give it to Russia. Marjorie Taylor Greene talks about women who take testosterone what was that about every Republican accusation being an admission? (24:21) IN SPORTS: For the third time, the NHL (The National Hypocrisy League) has screwed up Pride Night. Is this a Russian problem? (28:52) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Before signing a deal to become "Sister Cities" make sure the other one exists. The UK's Prime Minister touts the nation's Modern Slavery (?) And poor Musk thought he was just mocking the differently-abled. Actually he was confirming he owed somebody $100 million.
C-Block (35:00) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Four poor pups in Dallas (36:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: A lot about Russia and Ukraine in this episode so time to tell the tale of my musical genius Great Grandfather. Ever heard the story of the guy who gave away the name "General Motors" for free? That was my Ukrainian Great Grandpa, Antony Zelensky, whose saving grace was: he TOLD that story on himself every day of his life!

| 1:29.0 | We're just light a match near him. He'll explode probably on the air last night. He sounded impaired because between this and dominion, rupert, it's either going to be them or it's going to be you. |
| 1:41.0 | And history is proven again and again. It's never you. |
| 1:46.0 | Because if you didn't notice, rupert first, none of your other stars, not even Hannity, the man who puts the gas in gas lighting, fully followed Tucker Carlson down the QAnon video rabbit hole. |
| 1:59.0 | And then rupert two hours before Carlson round two, you got hit over the head with dominion documents round three. |
| 2:07.0 | January 4th, 2021, Tucker Carlson texts Fox producer Alex Fyfer. |
| 2:14.0 | Quote, we are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can't wait. I hate him passionately. |
| 2:27.0 | Unquote soon to be appearing on a political billboard near you. Tucker Carlson says of Donald Trump. I hate him passionately. |
| 2:39.0 | I'm Joe Biden and I approve this message. |
| 2:45.0 | As this $1.6 billion lawsuit is unfolding and Fox is being eaten alive by the company it slandered, Tucker Carlson plowed ahead with his two night January 6th video gas lighting gambit anyway. |
| 2:57.0 | The cliff loomed, yet Tucker hit the gas lighting. |
| 3:04.0 | If this was the Republican reaction to Carlson, if this was said by a Republican senator on the record as it was you rupert your headquarters is on fire and your hindquarters are in a sling. |
| 3:18.0 | I think it's bullshit. I was here. I was down there and I saw maybe a few tourists, a few people who got caught up in things, but when you see police barricades breached, when you see police officers assaulted. |
| 3:32.0 | All of that or you had to be in close proximity to it. I just don't think it's helpful. Senator Tom Tillis, Republican of North Carolina, not exactly a moderate, not exactly an enemy of Fox quote news unquote and he thinks it's bullshit. |
| 3:47.0 | And after the Capitol police chief Tom manger wrote his officers an email in which he excoriated Tucker Carlson raising the question of how much Carlson was lying when he said the Capitol police had vetted and approved the use of the video. |
| 4:01.0 | Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader in the Senate held up a copy of manger's letter. So everybody could get a photo or a video of him holding up manger's letter. |
| 4:13.0 | And McConnell promptly used the word quote mistake and the name quote Fox News in the same sentence. It was a mistake in my view for Fox News to depict this in a way that's completely had variance with what our chief law enforcement official here at Capitol. |
| 4:37.0 | Carlson's on air reply to that was to make of course a race based insult about McConnell's wife. Others, Senator Mike rounds, Republican of North Dakota. That was no sightseeing tour. Quote. I thought it was an insurrection at that time. I still think it was an insurrection today. |
