Ed breaks down what President Donald Trump has to do at the State of the Union tomorrow night to seal the deal for his party. Trump has to show a lot of class tomorrow and not come out as nasty. The cost of a possible war in the Middle East could cost Americans tons of money. The Supreme Court struck down the way President Trump imposed broad tariffs, so those duties could be invalidated and refunded. His administration shifted to a temporary 15% tariff under a different law, meaning tariffs may continue but in a narrower or time-limited form. An Arizona couple reportedly found gloves possibly tied to a cartel killing, though details remain limited. The Russia-Ukraine war is still ongoing, with continued fighting and strained diplomatic efforts. Mark interviews columnist John Fund. John and Mark discuss what they see as questionable motives in Democratic messaging on the issue about Voter ID laws. They examine claims that voter ID requirements disproportionately impact Black voters, and question whether suggesting minorities are unable to obtain identification is itself offensive or patronizing. John breaks down the statistics often cited in the debate and explains the percentage of Americans - including minority voters - who already possess government-issued ID. John and Mark argue that identification is required for many everyday activities in the United States and around the world, and they question why voting should be treated differently.

There have been rumors circulating about President Trump allegedly falling asleep during events and press conferences. While these claims remain unsubstantiated, some Democrats believe they are true. Meanwhile, Senator Mark Kelly is facing criticism for stating that the Trump Administration is allegedly issuing illegal orders to the military. Mark interviews streaming host Bill O'Reilly. Critics of President Trump, including Democrats and anti-Trump supporters, appear to be using every possible angle to attack the president as the 2026 midterm election approaches. Additionally, the Department of Homeland Security has sent a second letter to New York Attorney General Letitia James, requesting the transfer of 7,000 convicted migrants currently held in NYC prisons. The situation raises the question: Will former FBI Director James Comey permit Letitia James to hand over these individuals? The answer remains uncertain.

There have been rumors circulating about President Trump allegedly falling asleep during events and press conferences. While these claims remain unsubstantiated, some Democrats believe they are true. Meanwhile, Senator Mark Kelly is facing criticism for stating that the Trump Administration is allegedly issuing illegal orders to the military. Mark interviews streaming host Bill O'Reilly. Critics of President Trump, including Democrats and anti-Trump supporters, appear to be using every possible angle to attack the president as the 2026 midterm election approaches. Additionally, the Department of Homeland Security has sent a second letter to New York Attorney General Letitia James, requesting the transfer of 7,000 convicted migrants currently held in NYC prisons. The situation raises the question: Will former FBI Director James Comey permit Letitia James to hand over these individuals? The answer remains uncertain. The U.S. Justice Department is reportedly considering new indictments against New York Attorney General Letitia James and former FBI Director James Comey, following the recent dismissal of charges against both individuals. Mark interviews political strategist Ed Rollins. He discusses why some believe Democrats are attempting to gain control of numerous cities across the country, including figures like Zohran Mamdani. The way people consume media may play a significant role in shaping voters' decisions in upcoming elections. California Governor Gavin Newsom could be a contender in the 2028 presidential election, and the economy should be a key issue for future candidates.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 23: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Here we go again. Trump is talking about his own mortality or career mortality or heaven or all of the above… AGAIN at the same time he’s talking about declaring insurrections and jailing more political opponents, like Mayor Johnson and Governor Pritzker and any one of a dozen judges including at least one he appointed – not prosecuting them, just jailing them - and, as if it could GET any worse, he specifically segued from the issue of wanting to prove to God that he’s been good to how great all those weapons are at his naval base. The missiles are flying, hallelujah, hallelujah. Plus he's written: “Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also." Look, you and I know it should be TRUMP in jail because he’s not only broken laws, he’s nearly COLLECTED THE COMPLETE SET of broken laws. But the process of convincing Trump that he's not crazy, that his predictions are coming true, that Portland is ablaze, is how Stephen Miller and the others manipulate him into eroding American democracy a little more every damn day. And this has worked since at least 2016 and I was told about it by Ed Rollins in 2017. It's the Trump personal feedback loop. And when the interruptors in that loop get in the way, they get bought out and destroyed. CNN first, The Washington Post, and now CBS News and the "B" stands for "Bari Weiss" who once told The Federalist Society that it was ok if it didn't believe her and her wife's marriage was legal because they all shared what really mattered: a desire for lower taxes. Let me expand upon the death of CBS News and her disastrous debut at its helm by retelling the story of the miniature version enacted at the CBS flagship station in LA when I worked there in 1991: The Mystery Of The Broken Number 3 CBS Pencils. B-Block (37:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: What is wrong with these dweeb MAGAs? Ken Paxton can't keep his pants on, every other day there's some new story causing his wife to again decide to divorce him, and he's just announced "undercover operations" against leftists. Hey, Pal, if you did anything BESIDES undercover operations you wouldn't be dismissed as a sex pest. Poor Derrick Van Orden continues his descent: now he's yelling at people for not learning how the Senate votes the way he learned about it in the 4th Grade (all of what he learned was wrong). And the Bad Bunny Super Bowl blowback reaches Marjorie Taylor Greene who demands a law making English the official language which is going to be trouble for her since she doesn't speak it. C-Block (45:00) THURSDAYS WITH THURBER: It's one of those weeks, plus my back is gone, one of my eyes is fighting me: it's time to bring back the first Thurber story I ever read aloud to an audience, the oddly soothing "A Box To Hide In."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
