SEASON 3 EPISODE 130: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) BREAKING NEWS: A Reagan judge, an Obama judge, and a Trump judge walk into a courtroom and rule Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs - which not only crashed our economy but that of the entire world's - are not a legal use of the 1977 laws empowering him to take actions in the event of an economic emergency. This is not just any court. It's the United States Court of International Trade. Trump already appealed. Stephen Miller already called it a "judicial coup." The fact that America's corporations simply went along with Trump's crap when it knew - as the court knew - this was executive overreach - is its own problem. The halt on the tariffs will itself probably be halted by the appeals. So the re-shaping of the market will be re-re-shaped by the judges, and re-re-re-shaped by the further litigation. That, of course, is not Trump's problem. His only job is to break stuff. SPECIAL COMMENT: Now it's Governor Gretchen Whitmer has learned the lesson - twice. Never appease Trump, never negotiate with Trump, never cooperate with Trump, never support anything Trump wants, never do anything Trump wants. All that registers with him is: you are easier for him to destroy. She sucked up to him. She worked with him. He tricked her into appearing at his photo-op. She hid her face behind a folder like it was a perp walk. Now, he says he's looking into PARDONING THE TERRORISTS CONVICTED OF TRYING TO KIDNAP HER. There is only one way Gretchen Whitmer is going to SURVIVE Trump, Governor. Apple is going to SURVIVE Trump, Tim Cook. There is only one way Columbia is going to SURVIVE Trump, Claire Shipman. There is only one way the White House Correspondents are going to SURVIVE Trump, Eugene Daniels. If you haven’t figured it out yet, I’ll spell it out. Doing what he wants only tells him you will DO WHAT HE WANTS. So he comes back and gives you ANOTHER list of what he wants. He’s a blackmailer. He’s a crooked businessman. He’s a bully. There is only one way to SURVIVE Trump and that is to DESTROY Trump. In a world of White House Correspondents, be the PENTAGON Correspondents. In a world of Apples, be Wal-Mart. In a world of Columbias, be a Harvard. Put your hands on Trump’s shoulders and knee him in the groin. Stand up to him and you can then own HIM, like the Harvard newspaper op-ed writer who has proposed settling the disputes between her school and Trump by challenging Secretary of "Education" Linda McMahon, the wife of the wrestling slime bag, to a Steel Cage Match. ALSO: TRUMP CONFESSES to operating on Russia's behalf and to protecting Putin. HE LEARNS for the first time of the Wall Street analysts mocking him with the tariff acronym "TACO" ("Trump Always Chickens Out") and he chickens out. Turns out Tom Homan also worked for the top Private Prison company. A woman who contributed a million to Trump gets a pardon for her jailbird son. Anybody remember Rudy Giuliani's alleged boast he could sell you a pardon for two million, to be split between him and Trump. And a past president's grandson has died. The president he was the grandson of, left office in... 1845. B-Block (33:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Kristi Noem and the camel she rode in on. Jesse Watters and Rep. Tim Burchett try to make fun of men using straws not remembering there's a photo of Trump at Yankee Stadium using a straw. And boy did THIS sound familiar: Rupert Murdoch just buried a New York Post reporter who followed all the rules and instructions Murdoch's minions had laid out for him, because somebody didn't like the story... Just like in 2001 Rupert personally fired ME for doing exactly the same thing (C-Block 43:00 THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL). The punchline is the reporter's name is Josh Kosman and last September he was the guy at The Post who called and told me they were about to update the RFK Jr/Olivia Nuzzi sexting story by claiming I had lived with Olivia. So I busted his scoop and put the story out immediately. Now we're in the Rupert Isn't A Journalist Club. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Well if there is one thing we learned from Jeffrey Goldberg's sensationalized story in The Atlantic is that this trump team is unified and working as a team. How Goldberg got into the chat is still tbd, but let's be honest fist emojis and calling out Europe for not pulling its weight is not top secret as Goldberg implied. As most liberal hacks, it's just another attempt to show a chink in the armor of Trump or his cabinet members. There are no better guests to give us a deep dive on liberal media hacks than Michael Duncan and John Ashbrook from the Ruthless Variety Progrum. It was John Ashbrook that represented Ruthless in the White House's new media seat as the eye rolls from state run media outlets dashed across the room. Ashbrook poignantly asked about how the media was missing the mark when it came to the border. President Trump is the most colorful president of our generation and deserves color commentary from the Ruthless team or other innovative media outlets than the likes of SV Dáte or the press pool team that has been traveling with the president. Duncan and Ashbrook unpack the brackets for this year's Hack Madness. It's much like the NCAA March Madness but gives Liberal Media Hacks a chance to really shine and make a run for biggest hack of the year. The season is not over yet and with categories like fake news, the establishment, liberal activist and way-too-online, the Liberal Hack Champion has yet to be crowned. The guys walk us through some of the lesser known contenders as they go up against top seeds like Margaret Brennan and Eugene Daniels.

It's the worst-kept secret in Washington: Being in Congress isn't as glamorous as it seems from the outside. But what is life really like on Capitol Hill? What do members privately think about their colleagues? How do they know it's time to hang up their spurs? And what are the things the rest of us really don't get about the pressures they face? POLITICO's Ben Jacobs asked them. And he joins chief Playbook correspondent Eugene Daniels talk about what he heard. Plus, President Donald Trump puts a muzzle on DOGE, and our Eugene bids farewell to our listeners after four years at Playbook.

President Donald Trump's tariff regime is blooming before our eyes. That may delight his MAGA base, but it's causing agita in the broader electorate, as Americans face the near inevitability of higher prices for the foreseeable future and businesses struggle to keep up with the head-spinning turn of events. Is there a point at which the political reality will overwhelm Trump's tariff ambitions and cause him to at least reconsider the path he's chosen? White House reporter Megan Messerly joins chief Playbook correspondent Eugene Daniels to talk through the possibilities.

As the Trump administration takes control of the 100 year-old media pool system, Eugene Daniels, President of the White House Correspondents' Association shares concerns about government transparency and who now gets access to the President.

In his joint address to Congress last night, President Donald Trump gave a red-meat speech that lauded his culture war victories, denigrated his political opponents, and, oh yeah, ran until 11pm. But for all the noise in the speech, many of the headlines this morning are about Democrats, who responded to the aggressive and partisan speech in kind. Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) was dramatically ejected from the chamber for shouting that Trump had “no mandate,” and Democrats slowly but steadily walked out of the speech, leaving their side looking threadbare. Playbook managing editor and author Jack Blanchard breaks it all down with chief Playbook correspondent Eugene Daniels and Capitol bureau chief and senior Washington columnist Rachael Bade.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 103: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: There is an alternate, rogue religious theory about an afterlife. It goes like this: "Hell" is not some place deep in the earth or anywhere else with eternal torture and fire. In fact, what we call "life" - THIS is hell. There is considerable new evidence this week that this theory is probably correct. The Washington Post had already been proving that its slogan "Democracy Dies In Darkness" was not a warning but Jeff Bezos's game plan. Now he's made it official: Op-eds are out; pro-Trump "liberties" and "free markets" are in. Other opinions need not apply. Bezos is a fascist. And he's only the third of three media disasters this week. To my surprise, Rachel Maddow DID say something about the Racist Purge at her MSNBC. Unfortunately, it wasn't the truth. She gave out the corporate cover story that Joy Reid "left" and "went out the door" and and and... she was FIRED. I guess I should've known. Rachel also didn't tell the truth when I left. I had kept her in my confidence as I negotiated my exit in 2010 and 2011 and the night it happened she was on Maher's show and though she knew everything, when he asked her about the breaking news - a few hours after my last email to her suggesting "this is it" she answered "This is the first I’m hearing about any of this. I know nothing about it.” And Trump's response to MSNBC throwing Reid into the volcano as a human sacrifice? He's threatening to sue them all anyway. And change the laws. And then there's the White House Correspondents Association. It did nothing about Trump trying to rewrite the Associated Press's stories. So now he's told them they will no longer select the pool reporter. But don't worry, the WHCA's cowardice won't go unpunished. Its president will be one of the new MSNBC hosts who can get sacrificed in the Trump Bottomless Bit later. B-Block (35:38) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Welcome to political scrutiny, Stephen A. Smith. Musk loves Trump - now. 2020? Called him an effing idiot. And this is how bad it is: Trump put one of my exes on the Kennedy Center board. C-Block (44:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: She's in the news and we need the laugh, so once again, the saga of my two dates with Laura Ingraham, one of the last times I thought "this might be the night I die."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer is in Washington today to meet with President Donald Trump. On the surface, the two leaders couldn't be more different. But as Playbook author Jack Blanchard tells chief correspondent Eugene Daniels, the Trump-Starmer relationship is, indeed, special. They dig into what's on the agenda today and what deliverables Starmer wants to leave with.

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks about Stephen A. Smith's disastrous interview with Democratic Minority leader Hakeem Jeffries, who proved that the Democratic Party has learned nothing about its 2024 loss, as he doubled down on failed talking points; Rep. Jasmine Crockett's NSFW response to Elon Musk; White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announcing that Eugene Daniels and the White House Correspondents' Association will no longer control which media outlets are allowed to participate in the White House press briefing; Brian Stelter telling "PBS NewsHour" why the move threatens press freedoms, while forgetting that he advocated for the removal of Fox News from White House press briefings a few years ago; Kash Patel launching an investigation into former FBI director James Comey's plot to use "honeypot" female agents to entrap Donald Trump; Tulsi Gabbard telling Fox News' Jesse Watters what was really happening in the explicit NSA chatrooms; Scott Jennings telling CNN's Abby Phillip why Trump's unconventional way of bringing an end to the Ukraine War may surprise even his critics; Donald Trump's announcing a new gold card for wealthy immigrants willing to spend $5 million to become citizens; Kathleen Kennedy retiring from Disney's Lucasfilm after destroying the Star Wars franchise, and much more.

A month after the Luka Dončić trade, the Dallas Mavericks traveled to Los Angeles to face off against the Lakers. Jason and Steve Kim point out that despite the Lakers' 107-99 victory, the Mavericks showed signs of dominance — even with Anthony Davis still recovering from injury. During the game, many Lakers fans started a “Thank you, Nico” chant, referring to the Dallas Mavericks' general manager, who is widely blamed for greenlighting the Doncic trade. But should he really take the fall? In other news, President Trump has extended an invitation to the Philadelphia Eagles to visit the White House. WNBA star and surefire Hall of Famer Diana Taurasi has officially retired from basketball. But if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around, does it make a sound? Meanwhile, sports gambling has spiraled out of control, and NIL has created a breeding ground for widespread corruption. Yet the media refuse to address it — because they're in bed with the sharks. On the non-sports side, Zaya Wade, the transgender son of NBA legend Dwyane Wade, graces the cover of Seventeen magazine. Joy Reid has been fired from MSNBC, and the network doubled down on DEI-driven minority hires with the likes of Eugene Daniels and Symone Sanders. Texas Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett's profanity-laced tirade and Stephen A. Smith's latest desperate grab for relevance wrap up the show. Lastly, Shemeka Michelle joins us to share her take on today's cultural topics.

President Donald Trump's election helped turbocharge an already surging bull market in the U.S., sending stocks and cryptocurrencies to even higher records. But, some on Wall Street are sounding the alarm that the fast times can't last. POLITICO capital markets reporter Declan Harty joins chief Playbook correspondent Eugene Daniels to explain what potential market turbulence could mean for Trump 2.0. Plus, the three-year anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and all the rest of the news you need to know today.

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis has an independent streak and a big job leading the National Governors Association.

Day in and day out, the most consequential stories in Washington right now seem to include two key players. One is obvious: President Donald Trump. The other is Elon Musk, the world's wealthiest man and Trump's largest political benefactor. As their partnership remaps power in Washington, journalists on the frontlines scurry to crack the biggest story in the nation's capital — and figure out what we perhaps misunderstand about the dynamics driving both Trump and Musk. National politics correspondent Adam Wren talks it through with chief Playbook correspondent Eugene Daniels. Plus, despite a curveball from Trump, the Senate's vote-a-rama is still on … for now.

In last night's interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity, President Donald Trump and Elon Musk tried to rehab Musk's image and reinforce that Trump runs the show. Beyond that, not much else happened. As White House reporter Irie Sentner tells chief Playbook correspondent Eugene Daniels, it was the lack of significant news that made the hour memorable. Plus, the Senate eyes vote-a-rama, and all the rest of the news you need to know today.

The biggest story in Washington today isn't even in Washington. Today, top officials from the U.S. and Russia will meet in Saudi Arabia to talk about a future peace plan for Ukraine. But, officials from Ukraine will be missing at the table. National security reporter Robbie Gramer joins chief Playbook correspondent Eugene Daniels to discuss how this is playing with Europe and the weekend's Munich Security Conference.

President Trump indicates his loyalty to Elon Musk by firing as much of the federal workforce as he can, and his administration's statements about Ukraine show how Trump views the war and Russia. Join moderator Jeffrey Goldberg, Eugene Daniels of Politico, Stephen Hayes of The Dispatch, Theodore Schleifer of The New York Times and Nancy Youssef of The Wall Street Journal to discuss this and more.

Where is the Democratic “resistance” for Trump's second term? Chief Playbook Correspondent Eugene Daniels asks Rep. Jamie Raskin, a longtime nemesis of President Trump's and the current House Judiciary Committee ranking member, why the Democrats have been slow to counter the president's aggressive governing, and what the plan is going forward to rebuild the party and its message.

On the agenda? Tariffs, immigration and the future of the global balance of power. POLITICO's Washington-based China correspondent Phelim Kine breaks it all down with chief Playbook correspondent Eugene Daniels. Plus, it's a make-or-break moment for the House GOP's budget plans.

As soon as tomorrow, Tulsi Gabbard is likely to sail through confirmation as Director of National Intelligence. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s confirmation is likely to follow later this week. Just weeks ago, it felt like a stretch that either would be confirmed. So, what changed? Congress reporter Jordain Carney joins chief Playbook correspondent Eugene Daniels to talk through President Donald Trump's evolving relationship with the Senate. Plus, what we learned from Trump's pre-Super Bowl interview with Bret Baier. All that, and the rest of the news you need to know today.

Join moderator Jeffrey Goldberg, Michael Scherer and Anne Applebaum of The Atlantic, Eugene Daniels of Politico and Asma Khalid of NPR to discuss this and more.

As Elon Musk wages war on the bureaucracy, federal workers face a time for choosing: At midnight tonight, the self-styled “early buyout” offer to federal employees expires, marking a potential hinge point in the so-called Department of Government Efficiency's work in Washington. How did we get here and what happens next? National political reporter Holly Otterbein joins chief Playbook correspondent Eugene Daniels to go over the details. All of that, plus the rest of the news you need to know today.

Donald Trump is President of the United States. Again. His inaugural address Tuesday wasn't quite as dark as the ‘American carnage' speech he gave eight years ago. This time around, Trump promised the beginning of a “golden age of America” before reading off a laundry list of policies he plans to pursue during his presidency that will, almost certainly, not usher in a golden age. Standing behind Trump were some of the richest men in the world: Tech CEOs Sundar Pichai of Google, Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, Amazon's Jeff Bezos, and X's Elon Musk. Longtime D.C. reporter and friend of the pod Todd Zwillich helps us break down Trump's inauguration speech. Later in the show, Eugene Daniels, White House correspondent for Politico, walks us through the many executive orders Trump signed Tuesday.And in headlines: Joe Biden spent his final hours as president issuing a bunch of preemptive pardons for members of his family and Trump's political enemies, Vivek Ramaswamy may leave DOGE, and China said it's open to selling TikTok.Show Notes:Check out Eugene's work – politico.com/staff/eugene-danielsSupport victims of the fire – votesaveamerica.com/reliefSubscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
