Podcast appearances and mentions of Carrie Budoff Brown

SERIES 2 EPISODE 149: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) We have a curious addition to the NBC/Ronna McDaniel timeline: Trump and the RNC fire Ronna McDaniel. 2. NBC hires Ronna McDaniel. 3. NBC fires Ronna McDaniel. 4. Trump and the RNC make a martyr OUT of Ronna McDaniel. 5. RNC threatens NBC over Ronna McDaniel. Per Politico the RNC is “weighing whether to restrict NBC's access to this summer's convention…'We are taking a hard look at what this means for NBC's participation at the convention,” says a spokesperson. OK how would limiting NBC's access to the R-N-C bullshit festival HURT NBC News? What Republicans watch NBC News? They checked out 30 years ago! So why would NBC worry? Maybe because of something Judd Legum dug up at his marvelous site "Popular Information." Of all the major corporations that vowed after January 6 to never donate to election deniers again, you know which true broadcasting company has breached its promise and donated the MOST to election deniers? Comcast/NBC. $787,500. Coincidence - no doubt. Could there be any connection between this and the fact that nobody has made headlines out of the amazing poll shift: Trump and Trump-Leaning Undecideds: 50. Biden and BIDEN-Leaning Undecideds: 50. And that's in a poll so skewed towards the Republicans (the Harvard-Harris poll) that a Harvard school paper columnist wrote about it: “Harvard Should Break Up With The Harris Poll” because the university is quote “lending its name to a methodologically flawed poll that often promotes a right-wing political agenda.” The 8% undecided lean 61% Biden including 58% of independent undecideds and 41% of Republican undecideds and that is, after all, EXACTLY what the Biden internal metrics told the president's campaign months ago. Once Trump actually became the GOP nominee the fence-sitters would have their "oh shit" moment and break to Biden. Plus, in the Bloomberg swing states poll that America erupted over when Trump led in seven states, Biden has moved ahead in one, tied in two others, and has improved in three more. Funny that these poll results aren't as big deal as the pro-thump ones were. B-Block (22:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: So when they call Baltimore's mayor "The DEI Mayor" what do you think THAT'S a euphemism for? And after Larry David eviscerates Trump so Charlie Kirk has to attack Larry David and say he's a "typical kind of New York Woody Allen-type" what do you think THAT'S a euphemism for? And when a Trump-endorsed Michigan state legislator sees people getting off a plane and onto a bus with a police escort, what do you think he assumes they are? "Illegal invaders," says the guy with no neck. The correct answer is: one of the college basketball teams competing in the NCAA Sweet 16. The hatred and racism and sense of impunity with which the bigots operate was unleashed by Trump, and to stop it we have to stop him. C-Block (34:00) FRIDAYS WITH THURBER: A break from this Week of Stupid to the simpler life of a century ago at Ohio State University, when a kid with one eye is asked to draw what he sees when he looks through a microscope.

SEASON 2 EPISODE 148: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: The head of the POLITICAL unit at NBC News is now reported to have been actively working with the former Chief of Staff of the Republican National Committee to try to stir up a social media groundswell to save Ronna McDaniel's job at NBC. And she – and perhaps the CHAIRMAN of NBC News as well - were reportedly willing to throw MSNBC under the bus - specifically, willing to throw its ex-Biden-Press-Secretary, now budding star Jen Psaki, under the bus, and throw Chuck Todd under the bus, in hopes of saving Ronna McDaniel. Puck News is reporting that after Ronna McDaniel debuted on “Meet The Press” on Sunday and after Kristen Welker told the audience she had no say in McDaniel's hiring and after Chuck Todd attacked the hiring, NBC News Chairman Cesar Conde and Vice President Carrie Budoff Brown were unnerved, but both quote “seemed to anticipate the impending insurgency and frantically tried to pre-empt it. On Sunday, Budoff Brown reached out to McDaniel's aide and former chief of staff at the RNC Richard Walters, to see if there were any friends or colleagues who could speak up on her BEHALF. The two sides also discussed having those folks call attention to what they saw as a double standard – after all this was the same network that was turning Psaki… into a Maddow-adjacent prime time star. Walters later assured Budoff Brown that they'd been able to advance conservative pushback on social media against (Chuck) Todd, specifically, and that this might give NBC News some cover, for which Budoff Brown thanked him,” unquote. The report - and a similar story by The Hollywood Reporter - also highlights MSNBC President Rashida Jones's role in hiring McDaniel, and raises questions about Kristen Welker's on-air denial that she was at all involved in the hiring (it says she was AT a meeting at which Budoff Brown continued to pitch McDaniel). It's a disaster, it's still unfolding, and there's no telling how many different NBC News executives will follow McDaniel out the door. B-Block (28:19) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: First Maria Bartiromo blamed the Baltimore bridge collapse on "wide open borders." Now she wants to make sure no money is allocated to rebuild it. James Comer claims Merrick Garland and The Deep State are indoctrinating people into believing he has no evidence against Biden. And Sage Steele, with whom I once co-anchored SportsCenter, says the devil tried to keep her from speaking out against liberals by hitting her in the mouth with a golf ball. C-Block (40:30) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Okay, the still-evolving Ronna McDaniel scandal is a doozy. But this is NOT NBC/MSNBC's worst crisis ever. Let me take you back to the thrilling day of Existential Challenge when the Chairman of GE was ready to shut the network down, pay everybody off, and fire all of us, because his Mommy had seen Bill O'Reilly criticize him on Fox, because of what I said about O'Reilly on MSNBC. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SERIES 2 EPISODE 146: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANNA-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Sure, the split legal decisions in New York courtrooms matter. Trump got a brief reprieve in the business fraud case ($500 million bond reduced to $175 bond, he gets an extra 10 days grace; but his son said even a $15 million bond was almost impossible) but the Stormy Daniels election hush money case starts as scheduled April 15. But in the span five hours, Trump posted a psalm he claimed to have "received" from somebody in which he was compared to Christ, and said that he would have to sell his "babies" due to Judge Engoron, and he announced to an uncomfortable crowd of reporters "You can't have an election in the middle of a political season." He's NUTS. Besides which, I always thought he'd decide he was not Jesus but Napoleon. RFK JR'S NEVADA OOPSIE: He celebrated getting enough signatures to be a Trump stalking horse on the ballot there. Then somebody noticed that your petitions have to mention just not the presidential candidate but the VICE presidential candidate. And he's not announcing who that is until today. He has to refile all the signatures. Hopefully the likely Veep, the ex-wife of the founder of Google who wanted a divorce settlement of a billion, can front RFK Jr the cash. THE CONTINUING RONNA McDANIEL DISASTER: No, Maddow didn't stop it last night. She could've stopped it last week, or last month if she'd stood up and threatened to quit when her bosses overruled her - live on the air - and reversed her dictum that MSNBC would not carry Trump speeches live. And no, MSNBC's president did NOT say McDaniel won't appear on the network. And no, Chuck Todd didn't put himself at risk by speaking out. And no, don't even get me started about Joe Scarborough.  In the old days we used to have a more direct way of stopping such subversions of journalism. I threatened to quit, on the spot, at least twice. Rachel did it at least once. Scarborough used threats on a regular basis. Brokaw did it.  Ultimately the problem is: people paid big salaries to make essential decisions about the coverage of an election that will decide whether or not we still have a democracy next January, thought she was a GREAT HIRE. And nice as the protests from Todd and Welker and “Golly I hope they reconsider” Scarborough were, bluntly, the moment the hiring of Ronna Romney McDaniel was announced, MSNBC anchors and producers and writers, and NBC NEWS anchors and producers and writers, should have literally walked off the job. Gone on strike. Because it comes down to this: the hiring of Ronna McDaniel didn't represent some kind of political balance. It conceded – STIPULATED – that there can be some kind of balance, some kind of yes-but, some kind of bothsidesism, between the reality of the 2020 election, and election deniers and the Trumpist cult. She IS the flat earther, the climate change denier. She might as well be Q from Q-Anon. She is reality, trying to appease hallucination and mental illness in hopes of making… more… money. Her presence as an NBC News employee LEGITIMIZES the election deniers and the conspiracy theorists… and Trump. It is an act of journalistic self-defenestration and – for the future democracy in this country – an act of self-immolation. B-Block (30:50) IN SPORTS: Shohei Ohtani makes it worse: nobody has explained the money transfer to the bookie. Now the NBA has a burgeoning scandal: the fringe player who everybody placed "prop bets" on (33:40) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: The sad post-mortem for Flaco the Central Park Owl, and farewell to Bill Jorgensen. (50:50) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Rece Davis isn't actually one of them but his dry sense of humor created another mini-sports wagering mess at my alma mater. Now we know what Jeff Yass bought Trump with. And Charlie Kirk wants to use machine guns and whips at the border. C-Block (57:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Since I've asserted that the NBC News/MSNBC protest over Ronna McDaniel is tepid compared to the Him-Or-Me ones we had in the 2003-11 era, I'll tell you everything I know about them. It stars Tom Brokaw, John McCain, Scarborough, Michael Savage, Chris Hayes, Maddow, me, and a cast of thousands. Pull up a chair: it takes 27 minutes.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ronna McDaniel, the erstwhile chair of the Republican National Committee, is stepping across the aisle in a manner of speaking, now serving as a commentator for NBC and its affiliated cable network, MSNBC. This move comes hot on the heels of her stepping away from her leadership role within the Republican National Committee. It appears she will grace the NBC platform for the first time on the upcoming episode of 'Meet the Press'. Having previously functioned as the chair for the Republican National Committee, McDaniel's fresh enlistment with NBC comes in the wake of her resignation from the Republican institution this very month. NBC has publicly announced McDaniel's new position, which speaks much about the analysts that the network has been recruiting. The addition of McDaniel to NBC adds a hint of conservative insight to their team of political experts. NBC's audience can expect the she would offer informed commentary, not just on NBC but also on MSNBC, which is widely seen as a network with a left-leaning bent. This is a platform that has been criticized in the past by former President Donald J. Trump and his supporters for being a mouthpiece for the Democratic Party. Carrie Budoff Brown, the person responsible for NBC's political coverage, stressed the importance of adding someone with McDaniel's voice and perspective to the network, stating how vital it is to have her unique perspective as part of their lineup. The expectation is that she will provide a new angle, an insider's look at nationwide politics and the direction the Republican Party is headed. An interesting aspect is her involvement in the coverage of the 2024 election cycle. Chosen by the former President, Donald J. Trump, to helm the Republican Party following her instrumental role in securing his 2016 presidential election victory in Michigan, McDaniel has had an eventful tenure as the chairwoman. Her stint witnessed occasional disagreements with Trump. In particular, Trump expressed discontent last year regarding her decision to support multiple Republican presidential primary debates, one of which NBC hosted, a fact that drew attention as it featured the contenders to Trump. In the early stages of 2020, McDaniel appealed to Republicans to rally behind Mr. Trump following his win in the New Hampshire primary, a decision which met with less than warm response from Nikki Haley, considered a rival to Mr. Trump who had yet to withdraw from the race. Subsequent developments saw Mr. Trump assign his daughter-in-law and a trusted advisor to steer the Republican National Committee, further solidifying his hold over the Republican establishment. McDaniel joins a prominent roster of Republican commentators at NBC News which already features Marc Short, the previous chief of staff for Vice President Mike Pence, and Brendan Buck, who has been an influential aide to political figures such as Paul Ryan and John Boehner. Counterpart panellists bringing in the Democratic viewpoint include ex-Senator Claire McCaskill and Barack Obama's past campaign manager, David Plouffe. NBC and MSNBC have been expanding their team of expert commentators since the commencement of President Biden's tenure. Notable talent includes Jen Psaki, who performed the role of President Biden's original press secretary, and Symone D. Sanders, who has previously acted as the chief spokesperson for Vice President Kamala Harris. Eager observers are bound to be riveted by this development and its potential to shift the narration of contemporary political discourse. Undoubtedly, the vastly experienced McDaniel looks set to make her presence felt and exert a positive influence on NBC's political coverage, notably beginning with her first appearance on 'Meet the Press' this Sunday.
