Summary
SEASON 4 EPISODE 65: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN
A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: We rejoin your regularly scheduled Trump-Epstein Cover-up Scandal Show, already in progress! Trump’s disastrous attack on Iran – approved by only 27% of America and barely HALF OF REPUBLICANS, so DIDN'T move the needle that Trumpstein has erupted anew in New Mexico:
The former Attorney General essentially accuses the Trump Department of Justice of SABOTAGING his investigation of Epstein’s Zorro Sex Trafficking Ranch in 2019; of telling him ‘we’ll just take it from here’ and instead burying it. They took all the evidence and simply did nothing. When New Mexico went back a year later and said 'seize the ranch, preserve the evidence' they were again ignored. And after a New York Times deep dive on all the non-sex allegations and involvements, an entire new Epstein realm has opened up: what about the thousands of Epstein's non-sex crimes and co-conspirators? Why hasn't Trump prosecuted them?
Plus, all the attack on Iran did was remind the world that if WE can try REGIME CHANGE in other countries, what’s to stop OTHER COUNTRIES from trying REGIME CHANGE? And I’ll say it again: They called it ‘Operation Epic Fury’ because ‘Operation Epstein Diversion’ didn’t sound War-fightery enough.
And media fails us yet again: CNN will now go the same Bari Weiss Way of CBS. Then again it was three-quarters dead already, and the real crisis is MS-NOW's president thought the future of her network (basically unchanged since we spun off my guest hosts Maddow, O'Donnell and Hayes to give them new shows in 2010) was...Anderson Cooper LOL.
B-Block (43:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Postscripts to the US Olympic Hockey disaster include cheap jokes about Auston Matthews' hairline. Trump flunky Alina Habba retweets a call for violence against a judge. And the Worst Persons GOAT Bill O'Reilly is back from purgatory to win for the first time in years! Right you are, Mr. Mehoffer!
C-Block (58:30) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: I told a friend the story of the day I met the incomparable actor and character Walter Matthau and how he used to do impressions of sportscasters - so I'll tell you.

| 0:42.7 | Ayatollah from 2006. One of Trump's biggest idiot supporters, Senator Mullen, thought he was the |
| 0:49.2 | Ayatollah from 1979. And the polling was so bad, 27% of Americans, only half of Republicans approved of Trump's |
| 1:00.1 | war for regime change that Trump immediately stopped calling it a war, and yesterday started |
| 1:05.9 | saying it was just about regime change, and it would be over in four weeks, while |
| 1:10.6 | Lindsey Graham started saying it wasn't about regime change, but it would be over in four weeks, while Lindsey Graham started saying |
| 1:12.0 | it wasn't about regime change, but it was a war, and they all leaked that we were talked |
| 1:17.7 | into it by the Saudis and the Israelis. It wasn't our fault. I didn't do it. And the Trumpstein |
| 1:25.4 | story still broke through Donnie's Iran-Go-boom plan in new and unexpected and powerful ways, |
| 1:36.6 | startlingly from, of all places, Albuquerque, New Mexico. |
| 1:41.7 | There, the Albuquerque Journal reveals a new Trump-Epstein scandal from the first |
| 1:47.2 | Trump dictatorship, which sure reads like Trump's 2019 Department of Justice deliberately |
| 1:53.6 | sabotaged the state of New Mexico's investigation of Epstein's Zorro Ranch outside Santa Fe, |
| 2:04.4 | which Epstein used as a base for sex trafficking and financial crimes. The paper quotes the then Attorney General of New Mexico, Hector Baldaris, |
| 2:11.1 | who says he was asked by Trump's federal prosecutors in 2019 before Epstein was dead, before he was in jail, to stop New Mexico's |
| 2:22.6 | investigation of that ranch. So they could fold the prosecution of Epstein for his operations |
| 2:28.8 | there into, quoting Balduris, a multi-jurisdictional, multi-state focus. That would prevent |
| 2:36.5 | duplicative prosecution and conflicting statements, and the feds took all of the New Mexico |
