SERIES 3 EPISODE 16: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: The full Reichstag-Fire-level propaganda site Red State may have commissioned, certainly got first access, to a poll showing Kamala Harris leading Trump 52 to 45 among LIKELY voters, and 50 to 46 percent among REGISTERED voters. It's OUTSIDE the margin of error according to the head of the firm, which is SO right wing that the pollster's pinned tweet is about how in 2011 he predicted a Trump presidency. They also did favorability scores and claim Harris is at 50-50 and Trump only eleven points underwater. “The biggest factor helping Harris is how she has neutralized the immigration issue. In both polls, immigration was the fourth most important issue, or rather – only 10 percent told us it was their number one.” Also on polling, the weekly update from Morning Consult has shown no Convention Bump for Harris, or maybe just a continuation of the previous bumps – unchanged at Harris 48 Trump 44. But there ARE signs of… a Tim Walz bump. His favorability was at 39 percent and plus three before the convention; it is 42 percent and now plus SIX after it. SOLUTION: MUTE HIS MIC THROUGHOUT THE DEBATE: Trump is back to trying to back out of the presidential debate and he's not even doing it well and the American political media is, as always, astonished. As soon as Harris replaced Biden he claimed all agreements were off, now he is enraged she wants the mikes always open not muted, not because he objects to the mikes not being muted, but because she wants it. Let me summarize this: he is trying to back out of the debate. He is hoping to be able to back out and blame her. He did this with Biden too. He is using as an excuse an objection to something he agrees with. What is Harris doing? Harris, bluntly, is EFFING with him. The Harris team has already proven to be the most successful anti-Trump entity in the fertile field of EFFING with him. MORE MEDIA MADNESS: CNN interviews eight "undecided" voters after Harris's acceptance speech. Except one of them told them in advance he was voting for Trump. Chris Cillizza tops himself. And the Times' latest self-destructive Op-Ed? "Trump Can Win On Character,"  written by the guy who followed the 2008 Vice Presidential Debate with the infamous masturbatory column about Sarah Palin. B-Block (25:33) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The Covfefe of 2024 as DonOld shows more evidence of mini-strokes. Andrea Tantaros compares Harris's appearance to...Hitler's "manscaping." And Jason Miller mocks a Kamala TV political surrogate as so old he should be in a rest home. The guy is 18 months YOUNGER than Trump. C-Block (32:25) SPORTS FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE SPORTS/THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: The former ESPN Big Show SportsCenter producer who went on to run ESPN, is succeeded by the guy who succeeded him AS the ESPN Big Show SportsCenter producer. Turns out the death of WCBS NewsRadio in New York was largely my fault. And I've found another cassette, so if you want to hear the day I was first paid to do the news (July 25, 1980, WNEW Radio, New York) you're in luck.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brooklyn, New York-based Hem arrived on the music scene not with a bang, but with a whisper. Composer Dan Messé, along with guitarists Steve Curtis and Gary Maurer, had begun working on a new band, but they needed a singer. An ad placed in the Village Voice got them a large number of responses, but none of them quite fit the hushed, gentle and melodic music they were creating. Weeks later, a self-professed non-professional singer named Sally Ellyson responded to the ad almost apologetically, sending Messé a tape of herself singing a capella lullabies that she had recorded for the newborn son of a friend. Her natural and unadorned voice fit the music perfectly, and Hem was born. The band's 2000 debut, Rabbit Songs, featured timeless string arrangements alongside traditional folk instrumentation, and their beautiful whisper caught the ear of NPR and Entertainment Weekly, as well as earning them scores of new fans. Their profile received another big boost when Liberty Mutual used a track from Rabbit Songs in a national advertising campaign. Eveningland followed a few years later and it expanded the lushness of their sound with a full symphony recorded in Slovakia. 2006s Funnel Cloud found them exploring a more “countrypolitan” sound that featured a bit more drum set. They scored a 2009 production of Shakespeare's “Twelfth Night” in Central Park and eventually began work on their most recent album, 2013s Departure and Farewell. The stark beauty of Hem's music is unparalleled in today's music scene, and we can only hope that the band doesn't make good on the title of their new album.
