SEASON 3 EPISODE 84: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:50) SPECIAL COMMENT: Happy Insurrection Day, when Republicans will certify the election of a “president” who is constitutionally ineligible to hold the office according to the 3rd clause of the 14th Amendment and the Electoral Count Reform Act of 2022 and who himself fomented the assault four years ago that ended our conceit about the peaceful transfer of power. The illegitimate president’s Republican whores and servants may in fact trudge to the capitol through a blizzard to make this prostitution of democracy official The Democrats? They won’t say anything because this didn’t TEST well as a campaign ad and their flaccid willingness to risk anything in our defense is further deflated by their perception that this is a fait accompli and since it is a fait accompli ESPECIALLY because of their own cowardice they now have to do their best to compromise, and obey in advance, a group of bandits and pirates posing as a presidential administration, whose only desire TO compromise is to compromise Democrats and the Free Press and Reality and democracy itself. These are some of those Republicans: Freshman Congressman Riley Moore – “My constituents have sent me here to this town not to work with Democrats but to destroy their agenda." “We asked everyone not to leak. Please for god’s sake do not give inside information to the enemy” that's from the LEAD Republican in the House, the CREEPIEST Republican in the House since Denny Hastert, Mike Johnson and I don’t know if by “the enemy” he means the Democrats or the media or both or the temptations of his anti-porn app, and I no longer care. This is Insurrection Day and we all KNOW what the Republicans would be doing today in the mirror version of this grim reality; if they were in charge and Trump were in office and had presidential immunity and a new president was about to sign off on putting him in jail and it would be what they actually did four years ago today only they wouldn’t bother to try to be subtle or legal about it (they’d be gassing up the tanks). AND NO, JUDGE JUAN MERCHAN IS NO HERO. He too is obeying in advance. Along with the Washington Post, squeezing out cartoonist Ann Telnaes. And Brian Stelter, covering up for Fox News. And the media soft-pedaling the Vegas bomber's hopes to see all Democrats murdered, and Congressman Tom Suozzi, and soon-to-disappear Senator Kyrsten Sinema. B-Block (29:30) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Those memorializing Aaron Brown without including the incident about his refusal to cover The Challenger explosion; Congresswoman Nancy Mace and "Gunther Eagleman" who only read the headline; and the meticulous Oliver Darcy who only gets mentioned here because he asked a question that really traumatized me: What will Olivia Nuzzi do in 2025? (42:14) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Remember dear Flaco? The majestic owl liberated from the Central Park Zoo? There is an extraordinary new book about him. And from an old book: remember the Ash Heaps in "The Great Gatsby"? They were real and you'll never believe what was built were they used to sit. C-Block (52:00) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Young Tippy needs the same surgery my new pup Kitt just got, and we need your help to pay for it. (55:30) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: It's an actors' story that invokes Trump, Orson Welles, The Odd Couple, Mike Nichols - and me? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Queen" Wen reigned ruthlessly with a smooth sail into China Open's third round, raising expectations for a deep run in her home WTA premier tournament.“女王”郑钦文轻松晋级中国网球公开赛第三轮，观众对她在此次主场举行的WTA赛事中的表现充满期待。Roared on by a capacity crowd at the Diamond Court in Beijing's National Tennis Center, red-hot favorite Zheng Qinwen started off her campaign at the WTA 1000 tournament with ease as she demolished Russia's world No 71 Kamilla Rakhimova 6-1, 6-1 in 75 minutes to cruise into the round of 32 at China Open on Saturday.9月28日，在国家网球中心钻石球场观众的助威声中，炙手可热的郑钦文在中网WTA1000赛事中轻松开局，75分钟内以6-1、6-1大比分击败了世界排名第71位的俄罗斯选手拉希莫娃，顺利晋级中国网球公开赛女单32强。It was Zheng's first match played on home soil, since her monumental win in the Olympic final in Paris, at one of the country's biggest tennis courts, where spectators cheered from the edge of their seats for each of Zheng's winners on a rainy night.这是在巴黎奥运会上历史性夺冠后，郑钦文的本土赛事首秀。比赛场地是中国最大的网球场之一，观众们在雨夜中为郑钦文的每一场胜利欢呼雀跃。After falling in the opening round to Elena Rybakina at her tournament debut last year, Zheng's much improved mental strength, underlined by her resilient gold-winning Olympic campaign in Paris, as well as her recent surging momentum have boded well for a deep run at this year's China Open, where several top contenders, including world No 1 Iga Swiatek, have withdrawn.在去年中网女单首轮负于莱巴金娜后，郑钦文在巴黎奥运会上顽强夺金的经历体现出她心理素质的极大提高，近期她的势头正猛，预示着其将在今年的中国网球公开赛上大展身手。今年中网，包括世界排名第一的斯维亚特克在内的几位顶尖选手都退出了比赛。Rakhimova, who lost in the final qualifying round on Tuesday, managed to enter the 96-player singles main draw in Beijing as a lucky replacement of former US Open champion Emma Raducanu, who withdrew due to a foot injury, yet proved vulnerable facing the ferocious attack by Zheng.24日，拉希莫娃在资格赛最后一轮失利，但前美网冠军拉杜卡努因脚伤退赛，她便以幸运落败者身份晋级中网正赛。然而，面对郑钦文的猛烈攻势，拉希莫娃无力招架。"I am really satisfied with my performance today. Hopefully I could keep going as far as I could at this tournament so that you could watch me play more," Zheng said to the rousing crowd at the Diamond Court after her win on Saturday.28日夺冠后，郑钦文对钻石球场的观众们说：“我对自己今天的表现很满意。希望这届能够打久一点，让大家能多看我一点。”"I feel like I haven't played in such a comfortable environment for a long time.

Paris 2024 women's tennis singles gold winner Zheng Qinwen of China has fueled a nationwide trend in tennis sportswear and related fashion.2024年巴黎奥运会网球女单金牌得主——中国选手郑钦文在网球运动服及相关时尚领域引发了一场全国性的热潮。As the "tenniscore" trend takes hold, sportswear and fashion brands have ramped up their focus on tennis apparel.随着“网球装”流行起来，许多运动与时尚品牌对该类服饰给予了高度关注。 Global activewear leader Lululemon has launched its 2024 Tennis Club collection, featuring retro-colored tennis dresses, skirts, shorts and tanks. The tennis series has become one of Lululemon's important product lines, the company said.全球运动服领军人物露露乐蒙推出了2024年网球俱乐部系列服装，其设计以复古色调为特色，包含网球连衣裙、短裙、短裤和背心。露露乐蒙表示，网球系列已成为该公司的重要产品线之一。 The brand first ventured into tennis gear in April 2022.该品牌于2022年4月首次涉足网球装备领域。 Wilson, a tennis-focused sportswear brand, introduced the Marta dress — a white tennis dress priced 1,690 yuan ($236) — during Wimbledon in July. The dress quickly sold out in the Chinese market.在七月的温布尔登网球锦标赛期间，网球运动装品牌威尔胜推出了玛尔塔（音）裙——一款售价为1,690元 ($236)的白色网球裙，这款裙子在中国市场被一抢而空。 During this year's 618 shopping festival around June 18, Taobao saw a 256 percent year-on-year increase in online searches for tennis skirts, with transaction volumes up by 158 percent year-on-year.

The China Open in Beijing, the Rolex Shanghai Masters, and the recent ATP Tour in Chengdu, Sichuan province, and Zhuhai, Guangdong province, alongside digital broadcasts of grand slams, have all contributed to this tennis boom.这一运动突如其来的热度与中国范围内网球赛事的大幅增多有关。北京的中国网球公开赛、上海大师赛、最近在成都和珠海举办的ATP巡回赛，以及网球四大满贯赛事的线上报道，都促成了网球领域的繁荣。 Wen Liyuan, who runs a leading tennis training camp in Beijing, noted a significant rise in interest among children and their parents. "Many kids are inspired by Zheng's win and are eager to learn tennis. Those who had previously quit are now looking to resume their training," Wen said.温丽元（音）在北京经营着一家顶尖的网球训练营，她指出孩子与家长对网球的兴趣显著增加，她说“许多孩子都受到了郑钦文胜利的鼓舞，十分渴望学习网球。一些之前退营的孩子现在也想恢复训练了”。 She also said that livestreamed tennis events have garnered numerous reviews and comments from enthusiastic fans, while some commercial real estate projects are beginning to explore tennis-related developments.她还表示，现在在网球赛事的现场直播下有许多狂热球迷的评论，而一些商业房地产项目也开始尝试开发与网球相关的项目。 Ren Jing, a sports influencer in Beijing, recently returned to the court, attributing her renewed interest to the growing popularity of tennis. "Wearing tennis apparel enhances my performance, especially in terms of agility and mobility," Ren said.来自北京的体育博主任静（音）最近重返球场，网球越来越受欢迎，这让她重新提起了兴趣。任静说：“穿网球服能让我发挥的更好，我能更加敏捷和灵活”。"Tennis-focused brands such as Wilson, Lacoste and Nike have continually updated their apparel and shoes to improve the on-court experience."威尔胜、法国鳄鱼和耐克等网球运动品牌正在不断的更新他们的服饰、球鞋，以带给人们更好的打球体验。 Ye Fei, a manager at a tennis store near the National Tennis Center in Beijing, has also observed a surge in foot traffic and sales. "In the past, customers would buy a single racket. Now, entire families are coming in, each member purchasing his or her own racket," Ye said.北京国家网球中心附近的一家网球店经理叶飞（音）也注意到了客流量和销量的大幅增长，他说：“过去，顾客只买一个球拍，现在全家人都来了，每个成员都要购买一个专属球拍”。 He also noted that children who previously practiced other sports are now keen on switching to tennis after watching Zheng's matches.他还指出，以前练习其它运动的孩子们，在看了郑钦文的比赛后，现在热衷于改打网球。Off the court, "tenniscore" has risen to prominence in the fashion world, with luxury brands eager to tap into the market. Mia Kong, a fashion influencer based in Shanghai, attributed the trend's success to its resonance with the lifestyle of middle-income families.球场外，“网球装”也已经成为时尚界的主流，许多奢侈品牌都争先进入这一市场。上海时尚博主马孔（音）认为，网球装之所以能够流行，是因为与中产家庭的生活方式产生了共鸣。 "Tenniscore is here to stay. The pleated skirt easily blends into daily wear and fits the vintage aesthetic that has dominated fashion in recent years," Kong said.马孔（音）说：“网球装正在引领新风尚，百褶裙不仅能轻松融入日常装扮，而且还与近几年主导时尚业的复古美学不谋而合”。Appareln.衣服，服装（尤指特定场合穿的服装）Pleated skirtn.百褶裙Vintagen.某优质葡萄酒的产地和年份；特定年份酿的葡萄酒adj.老式的，古色古香的，优质的
