SEASON 3 EPISODE 97: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump and Musk and Vance are now clearly signaling their intent to ignore the court orders keeping Musk from pillaging the government financial computers and your personal information. It is the informal beginning of their Civil War against the government of the United States of America. We're not at Fort Sumter yet but it's visible. Yet there has been no update on the news that Trump’s minions have already been giving loyalty tests to applicants to the FBI, other law enforcement, national security, that include questions like “Yes or No: Was The 2020 Election Stolen” and “Who is your REAL boss?” No updates from Saturday’s Washington Post story and as nearly as I can tell it didn’t even COME UP during any of the Sunday shows. The question NOW becomes what happens when – and this seems increasingly inevitable – Trump and Musk defy the court orders and again access the treasury. First of all, who is there to STOP them? What do the courts who have ruled against them, and the others who are likely to rule against them THIS week, and the litigants like the 19 Attorneys General, do next? Does this go directly to the Supreme Court where the corrupt theologians can say “ah but we have precedent in this area. If you can’t prosecute an EX-President for crimes, if HE’S immune, how can you prosecute anybody for crimes ordered by a SITTING president?” in which case it’s official, it’s a dictatorship. Or TRUMP looks at the judges and say THEIR behavior is actually an attack on the country and HE invokes the Insurrection Act and rounds up the judges and the Democrats and… me. The other option is intermediate steps by the judges who really really don’t like being ignored and who while they might hesitate to pursue Trump, would probably line up to pursue Musk and the others. They could quickly order Contempt of Court orders against Musk and his employees and there are scenarios in which they move quickly enough to put them in holding cells for defying legitimate orders. Or there could be a confrontation between Court Officers and police loyal to them, and Musk’s people and police loyal to THEM. Or there could be a VIOLENT confrontation between those groups. Or this could end up the Juan Merchan route in which the courts act so slowly, so stupidly, so violating their purpose and indeed their history of blocking corruption, especially corrupt businessmen maneuvering a hostile takeover of the government, do… nothing. There IS one wild card I see here. Trump says he will have Musk look next at the Education Department and then the Army. If Musk tries to do to the Pentagon what he's done to the Treasury and goes in there, they may never find him. The rest of this episode repeats Sunday's emergency edition about Trump is having them ask candidates for jobs in his administration’s FBI field stations away from D-C what is probably the most chilling question ever asked by any government of the United States: “Who is your real boss?” This is, if you do not know, in The Washington Post’s brief, damning, almost (despite everything) unbelievable, nightmarish report posted late Saturday night. The Post is quoting applicants for the FBI and other top National Security positions – and they hint some of these are people who were IN these organizations, dismissed, and are being the opportunity to return to work. At least two FBI applicants were asked at least two questions out of George Orwell or the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany. One, you heard: Who is your real boss? If you need more, don’t worry, there IS more. Who were “the real patriots on January 6th?” We know through the Post’s reporting, of at least two other questions, asked of those being interviewed for some kind of leadership positions WITHIN the Trump national security apparatus IN Washington. They are told to answer yes or no to each. Question one: was January 6th an “inside job?” Question two: Was the 2020 presidential election stolen? At least these two applicants told their interviewers ‘no.’ Neither was hired. Just the asking of these questions alone – never mind the answers, let alone the implications that it is anything BUT political science fiction to conclude that some people have already answered YES and are moving into roles at the FBI and other law enforcement and national security organizations – just ASKING these questions, signals the end of democracy because if today you can ask candidates for FEDERAL law enforcement positions to swear personal loyalty to their “real boss” and if today you can ask candidates for those same positions to insist lies about January 6th and the 2020 election are the truth, and that the truths are lies… then tomorrow you can make it ILLEGAL to answer that the 2020 election wasn’t stolen, and then next week you can make it illegal to publish or broadcast that the 2020 election wasn’t stolen, and then the week after that you can put anybody who does in prison. We are already here. To be in law enforcement, you have to prove in advance you are willing to lie for Trump. I hope every bothsidesist reporter and whatboutist executive and bipartisan Democrat has a secret plan they've been saving for the last possible moment. Because we are at the last possible moment. PLUS: Musk is now hinting at ignoring the court ruling restraining him from further access to government computers and payroll systems. If he and Trump don't obey the rulings force of some kind will have to be applied and this entire issue of democracy versus dictatorship may come to a head faster than ever anticipated B-Block (41:42) MORE SPECIAL COMMENTS: We are at the point where I hope I've never been righter and the continuation of democracy actually does depend more on the stupidity of those trying to destroy it than it does on the efforts of those of us trying to save it. But there are measures we take - or at least our wobbling, dubious opposition party can take: deny support for anything in the House and put a personal hold on anything Trump wants from the Senate. And we need a Wartime Consigliere or if you're from this century, The War Doctor. C-Block (56:45) WRAPPING IT UP: I don't know when the next episode will be. I do know we need our own answer from Hakeem Jeffries and every other Democrat to the question of the hour: Who's Your Boss? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's story: Jimmy Carter, who died at the end of 2024, was America's 39th president. His term in office was marked by challenges, and he suffered a lopsided loss in the 1980 election. But after he left office, he founded one of the most influential global nonprofits. The Carter Center has had an extraordinary positive impact on humanity in areas ranging from peace to health to democracy.Transcript & Exercises: https://plainenglish.com/742--Upgrade all your skills in English: Plain English is the best current-events podcast for learning English.You might be learning English to improve your career, enjoy music and movies, connect with family abroad, or even prepare for an international move.

While many understand the failures of the late Jimmy Carter's presidency, he is often referred to as our “best ex-president” because of his humanitarian and diplomatic efforts following his loss to President Reagan. However, the rose-colored glasses through which many Americans view his post-presidency ignore his disastrous meddling in foreign affairs and blatant antisemitism since leaving office. Despite his humanitarian efforts, Jimmy Carter was not the elder statesman his allies alleged him to be. Rather, Carter's true legacy is that of someone who wished to remain president without the constitutional fetters of the office, undermining his successors of both parties.

This week on The CJN Daily, we brought you an interview with human rights advocate Judy Feld Carr about her decades of work to rescue Syrian Jews. But her husband, Donald Carr, didn't know the full extent of it—it was only weeks before he died, in November 2024, that she felt safe enough to disclose to him the full extent of her clandestine Syrian missions over the past fifty years. Donald Carr, 96, a prominent lawyer and community leader, was also one of The CJN's most ardent supporters, acting as a longtime board member. That's why, on this first Honourable Menschen episode of 2025, obituary columnist Heather Ringel joins host Ellin Bessner to share anecdotes about the life of Carr—and four other prominent Canadian leaders we recently lost. You'll hear about Dr. Ronald Weiss, 68, of Ottawa, who was nicknamed “the Wayne Gretzky of vasectomies”, having performed a record-breaking 58,789 of them; Michael (Muki) Baum, 64, a Toronto artist who fundraised hundreds of thousands of dollars on behalf of treatment centres for people like him with multiple disabilities; celebrity chef Marty Galin, 74, who created the world's largest salad; and radio host Ethel Taylor, 99, who started her on-air career at the age of 92. What we talked about: Read Heather Ringel's tributes to our Honourable Menschen and Women in The CJN: Muki Baum, Dr. Ron Weiss, Donald Carr.

Last week, the United States Supreme Court ruled that former presidents are entitled to immunity from prosecution for “official actions” they undertook while occupying the highest office. The impact of this historic decision could shred crucial parts of the court cases against Donald Trump, as he vies for presidential election in November. Will the court decision mean he is now above the law, or, is there a good reason to protect both former and sitting presidents from prosecution?  And with conservative judges behind this ruling, did ideology play a part? Today, North American correspondent Farrah Tomazin explains what was behind the decision, and the impact it could have on Trump's upcoming trials, and even, more broadly, on American democracy.Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Alina Habba, who acts as the vocal representative for Trump's legal team, boldly asserts that the legal ruling urging the Ex-President to settle a $454 million bond in a civil fraud lawsuit will eventually be overruled. In her view, the New York Attorney General Letitia James will be forced to reconsider every boastful comment she made on social media platforms. Habba's statement came out in response to an appellate court's recent decision to reduce the bond to $175 million as part of 'Jesse Watters Primetime.' Despite the partial victory, Habba stressed that the actual triumph will only materialize when the initial decision is completely scrapped. Her statement indicated that the revocation of Attorney General James's initial route, illustrated by the onerous bond amount, almost restored her confidence in the country's judicial proceedings. Habba added that the triumph would only be real when every social media taunt James made since the controversial declaration from Judge Engoron will be invalidated. Habba further alluded to the perceived injustice of the situation, indicating that the original bond stipulation was not just a disservice to Donald Trump, but was also unfair to his supporters and the broader American populace. She noted her anticipation of the Attorney General's reactions after her victory parades on social media platforms had been abruptly halted by the recent court decision, which delivered a breather for the persona she roundly defended. The appeals court's decision resonated strongly with Habba. She expressed her relief in the sustenance of due process and the protection of property rights in the American legal system, especially in high-profile cases like this one. Habba described her firsthand experience in the courtroom, noting the observed aberrations in the usual legal conduct that shook her confidence in the build of the justice system.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on CounterSpin: About this time seven years ago, John Deere was arguing, with a straight face, that farmers shouldn't really “own” their tractors, because if they had access to the software involved, they might pirate Taylor Swift music. Things have changed since then, though industry still gets up and goes to court to say that even though you bought a tractor or a washing machine or a cellphone, it's not really “yours,” so you can't fix it if it breaks. Even if you know how, even if you can't afford to buy a new one. More and more people, including lawmakers, are thinking that's some anti-consumer, and anti-environment, nonsense. We get an update from Gay Gordon-Byrne, executive director of the Repair Association. “Former President of Honduras Convicted in US of Aiding Drug Traffickers” is the current headline. You'd never guess from the reporting that Juan Orlando Hernández was a US ally, that the US supported the 2009 coup that went a long way toward creating Honduras's current political landscape. We discuss that and more with Suyapa Portillo Villeda, advocate, organizer, and associate professor of Chicana/o–Latina/o transnational studies at Pitzer College, as well as author of Roots of Resistance: A Story of Gender, Race and Labor on the North Coast of Honduras.   The post Gay Gordon-Byrne on Right to Repair / Suyapa Portillo Villeda on Honduran Ex-President Conviction appeared first on KPFA.

Industry still argues that that cellphone isn't really "yours," in the sense that you can't fix it if it breaks. The post Gay Gordon-Byrne on Right to Repair, Suyapa Portillo Villeda on Honduran Ex-President Conviction appeared first on FAIR.
