SEASON 3 EPISODE 86: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: MAGA in disarray. While the mass deportation scheme becomes the latest casualty of having elected a bunch of incompetent egomaniacs, Steve Bannon has declared war on Elon Musk. AND Elon Musk’s toady David Sachs. AND Peter Thiel. Bannon no longer will stop at getting Musk exiled from the White House because Bannon and the rest of the nativist lunatics hate all foreigners but Musk wants to not hate foreigners who can make him more rich via the H1B Visas. Bannon now wants Musk and the others to be the first immigrants thrown out of the country. He actually told this to Italy’s most-read newspaper, Corriere della Sala: "He is a truly evil guy, a very bad guy. I made it my personal thing to take this guy down... he should go back to South Africa. Why do we have South Africans, the most racist people on earth...making any comments at all on what goes on in the United States." The point isn't whether Musk actually does kill and eat Musk. It's that they fight. Because at the same time Musk is admitting he can only cut half of the "government inefficiency" he promised to, and "Border Czar" Tom Homan is warning Republicans that Trump won't be deporting millions immediately. More like 60,000. And the Trump junta has admitted it can't unilaterally lower grocery prices, or install universal tariffs, and he's not going to dig up the Panama Canal and move it to Mar-a-Lago on Inauguration Day, he ain’t buying Greenland and coercing Canada and guess what, he didn’t “settle” Russia’s war on Ukraine in 24 hours, and his minions are hinting his attempts to turn the LA fires into an exploitable political event are going to crash. And even before re-gaining power, Trump has pre-failed. B-Block (34:55) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Joe Scarborough doubles down on his role as Marshal Petain-In-The-Ass at MSNVIchy. Politico dubs him "Elon Mush" then deletes it. And Naomi Wolf thinks victims of the Southern California firestorm aren't panicking enough. C-Block (45:20) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: It's bleak and the forecast for next week is Trump. So I need a laugh and maybe you do too. And this we bring you back to 1994 and the greatest off-air laugh in ESPN's history: Soccer Breakdown.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Inauguration Day draws near with the President-elect spending time over the weekend at his Mar-a-Lago estate meeting with Republican lawmakers, discussing how to move forward with his agenda to cut taxes and secure the border. Republicans in the House are divided on whether to pass one large reconciliation bill, or two separate bills to extend tax cuts and deliver on immigration reform. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) joins the Rundown to discuss how Congress will act on the California wildfires, how he and his colleagues will work to unify around the President-elect's plans, and touches on the heightened security surrounding Inauguration Day.  Recently, the US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy issued a new advisory calling on Congress to require labels warning consumers about the link between increased alcohol consumption and cancer. To understand the Surgeon General's recommendation, Devi E.

Donald Trump's foreign policy team is taking shape. So for today's episiode, I wanted to give listeners a deeper understanding of some of the key players that will shape US foreign policy in the years to come. My guest is Josh Keating, a senior reporter at Vox and a veteran of DC foreign policy reporting. We go through a list of key foreign policy figures in the incomming administration, discuss the distinct foreign policy traditions and personal experiences that have informed their worldviews, and explain what baggage or, perhaps more charitably, perspectives they will bring to their new roles. We then discuss how key decisions on Ukraine may determine what faction of Republican foreign policy ideology may have the upper hand in Trump's second administration.

Adrian Deveny, former Director of Energy and Environmental Policy for U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, was a key architect of the Biden-era climate policy agenda, including the landmark Inflation Reduction Act. In this conversation, we explore Adrian's perspective on what to expect from Washington, D.C., in the years ahead, as the federal government transitions to Republican control of the executive branch and both chambers of Congress.We discuss the likely fate of the climate and clean energy provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act over the next couple of years and whether there are viable pathways for new clean energy policy in the near term. Given the ambitious policies rolled out in recent years, Adrian also shares insights on the "unfinished business" he sees as critical. Spoiler alert: he believes we need to more than double our policy efforts to meet U.S. emissions targets. In this episode, we cover: [3:36] Adrian's background and  journey in the Senate[8:26] Republican trifecta's impact on climate policy[11:47] Regulatory challenges, including Supreme Court rulings[17:48] Challenges in EPA funding and appropriations[19:53] Defending clean energy tax credits under the IRA[24:08] IRA's impact on manufacturing and the EV supply chain[31:48] Bipartisan opportunities in geothermal, nuclear, and defense projects[45:28] Debates on permitting reform for energy projects[52:00] Future clean energy growth and market forces[55:12] Adrian's focus on advancing federal climate policyRecommended listening: Crafting Landmark Climate Legislation Russel Kenneth DeGraffEpisode recorded on Nov 20, 2024 (Published on Jan 13, 2025) Enjoyed this episode?

Less than a day remains until Minnesota lawmakers begin the 94th legislative session. And there's a lot that is still not resolved between the DFL and Republicans, whose 67-67 tie in the House of Representatives has gotten messy. Democrats lost a seat to a residency challenge, and another is in question as a court challenge is ongoing.It's not clear whether Democrats in the House will even show up on Tuesday as leaders in that chamber are at an impasse over a power-sharing agreement.MPR News senior politics reporter Dana Ferguson joined MPR News host Nina Moini with updates from the weekend including a private swearing in ceremony amongst Democrats and how Republicans are responding.

Democrats in the Minnesota House are attempting to block Republican control when the legislative session begins Tuesday. The DFLers took their oaths of office early. It's just one of the many unusual circumstances to the start of session. We broke down what it all means.It's been a year since the city of Minneapolis evicted hundreds of unhoused people from various encampments in South Minneapolis. Camp Nenookaasi organizers joined the show for an update.An organization supporting Asian American business leaders across Minnesota joins the program to talk about a $2.5 million grant they received from philanthropist Mackenzie Scott.

Send us a message! Really!This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the 2025 legislative session begins dies initii, which is not a thing but we're going to make it a thing; with hundreds of millions in TABOR Budget Cuts looming, a big bill making it easier for workers to form a union setting up a showdown with the first floor, and the same ol BS from the House GOP MiniMinority, we're in for 120 days of antics at Colfax and Sherman. Then, We dig a bit deeper into the 2026 statewide races (even though it's 2025) and see who's rumored to be running where. We also come up with a GOP fantasy ticket...sort of. Finally we check in with our 7th and 8th favorite members of Congress from Colorado, who are about as useful as you might imagine.

Neal McCaleb is a member of the Chickasaw Nation and a former George W. Bush administration official. Before his involvement in politics, McCaleb was a civil engineer and businessman. He served on the Oklahoma Indian Affairs Commission from 1967 until 1972 when President Nixon appointed him to the National Council on Indian Opportunities. He was also a member of the Oklahoma House of Representatives from 1974 to 1982, and later was a presidential appointee on Ronald Reagan's Commission on Indian Reservation Economics in the 1980s. McCaleb ran for Governor of Oklahoma in 1982 but lost the Republican primary. He was appointed Oklahoma's first Secretary of Transportation by 1987, and from 1995 to 2001 he was the Director of the Oklahoma Department of Transportation and Director of the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority. In 2001, George Bush appointed McCaleb to be the Assistant Secretary of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs. After serving in the Bush administration, McNeal served as Ambassador at Large for the Chickasaw Nation.

Six years ago on Medium, I wrote the following:The Republicans have systematically turned climate change into a partisan issue, you know, like abortion, and have done so to manipulate their gullible electorate into believing the lie that there is no such thing as man-made climate change. They spew the dumbo rhetoric any time they can, that “oh the weather changes all the time.” Or “I don't believe climate change is real — even if the planet is warming, it isn't our fault.”Yeah, it is. You dig up fossil fuels and you burn them, that warms the planet. They were buried for millions of years which, in turn, cooled the planet, making it an ideal atmosphere for all kinds of different forms of life, including us. What's coming next is uncharted territory for humanity. We have no idea how bad it's going to get. We just know it WILL be bad.I was not only furious with rage, but I was quick to blame the other side for deliberately sabotaging our noble efforts to stop the warming of the planet, as though we ourselves were not contributing to it. We acted like we could buy a hybrid here, go vegan there, recycle our plastic, and be absolved from contributing to this existential crisis we all now must face.It isn't that I don't believe the planet is warming, or that sea level won't rise, or that it is directly the fault of so many people on the planet. What has changed is that I no longer blame the other side, and I no longer see my former side as the good guys in the fight. No, I see them as hypocrites. I was a hypocrite too.I'd been in a bubble for much of my adult life because I lived online, in virtual spaces. Yes, I was raising my daughter in public schools, but those were a bubble too. We all belonged inside the same utopia. We read the same articles. We watched the same news. Our worries were the same worries. We spoke the same language, and all of us shared the belief that the biggest threat we faced was climate change and that the biggest obstacle we faced was the Republicans.And then, my daughter moved across the country, and I got a couple of dogs. Rather than fly and leave my dogs at home, I began driving across the country. Those drives changed everything for me, not just how I saw climate change but how I saw my fellow Americans. This was how people actually lived, not how we did, inside our haze of paper straws and cotton diapers.I saw the trucks driving on the interstates to deliver food and goods, the many hotels that require air conditioning and heating, the slaughterhouse trucks providing food for so many in this country, and the tiny houses in the middle of the desert with one embattled air conditioner sticking out of the window.Looking at all of this, all of these places, and all of these businesses, it was easy to see that there was no turning this thing around. There is no way to convince every state and citizen to hop aboard what is an existential crisis for the upper class. Life just isn't like that.Everyone wants things that work, cars that run, planes that fly. They want washing machines, dishwashers, flat-screen TVs, office buildings, emergency rooms, and new computers and tech support lines, to buy groceries they can afford, to get fruit in the middle of winter, to watch movies and doom scroll social media — and “every Tweet warms the planet,” as Roy Scranton once wrote.Even if we could convince every single American to accept our fixes, what would we do about Russia, India, or China? We seemed to have gone all in on fantasy but we're disconnected from reality.What we believe on the Left, or at least we used to, was climate change was Armageddon, doomsday, the end of everything. Therefore, what mattered to us isn't so much that we solve the problems to survive climate change, but that we convert everyone else to our way of thinking. If we could do that, we believed, we could start making the big changes to our country and world.The Left is still haunted by the ghosts of the past, back when we really did have the power and the opportunity to make real change. We squandered that power, and then we blamed the other side. In so doing, we could wash our hands of real solutions, whether it was gun violence, poverty, failing schools, floods, fires, or hurricanes.And now, in the perfect cocktail of high Santa Ana winds, no rain for months, and a city caught off guard, the fires rampaged through the beaches of the Pacific Palisades and Malibu and the mountains of Alta Dena and continue to burn.There were rumors of not enough water, not enough firefighters, and no way to control the speed of the flames as they ripped through the dry brush, burning one house after another as we watched the tragedy unfold on live television or YouTube.This time, the narrative swirled around California's governor, Gavin Newsom, and the Los Angeles Mayor, Karen Bass, newly elected in 2022 as the first female and second Black person to serve. Bass had left the country in January, known as the last month of the Santa Ana cycle that comes every Fall.From the University of California:The region sees about 10 Santa Ana wind events a year on average, typically occurring from fall into January. When conditions are dry, as they are right now, these winds can become a severe fire hazard.//end This is a public episode.

Blake Lively says that the slander campaign against her hurt sales of her hair and beverage products. Which, it might have done. Or, people just weren't interested in her hair and beverage products. It's a bit silly, but, so is life. —Because they're kind people, Canada has sent firefighting planes to the U.S. to help scoop and dump water on the flames.  So, naturally, one of them is currently out of commission, because it hit a civilian drone doing lookie-loo nonsense. In the chat, a commenter who worked on these planes gives insight into what happened. —Well, the accidental death Rust lawsuit has ended, and Alec Baldwin is in the clear.  Which means he wants to move on with his life, right? Nope! He's going after the prosecutors, for prosecuting him. It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for him. —Trump wants to rename the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of America.  Which is hilarious. Good for him.  The Panama Canal, Greenland, this… The best part of it is: feckless Republicans go along with every one of his dumb ideas, because he's a toddler throwing a tantrum, and they're cowards.  Side note: remember “Freedom Fries?” Idiots on Parade: we mock the news, so you don't have to.

His latest book, "Fools on the Hill: The Hooligans, Saboteurs, Conspiracy Theories and Dunces who Burned Down the House", chronicles the ineffectiveness of the members of the U.S House. He makes the case that the MAGA members in the House have turned it into a dysfunctional nightmare with no interest in making policy. From Lauren Boebert to Marjorie Taylor Greene, they have turned the "conservative" party into a party that exists solely to carry out the wishes of Donald Trump. We also discuss the latest Trump press conference in which he floats the idea of changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to The Gulf of America and doesn't rule out military force to acquire Greenland. Anyone ready for another 4 years of this??

With just over a week remaining until President-elect Trump returns to the White House, his administration faces a daunting array of foreign policy challenges on multiple fronts. While headlines have focused on bold moves like reclaiming the Panama Canal and seeking control over Greenland from Denmark, the looming threats from adversaries like Russia, China, and Iran are more acute than when President-elect Trump first took office in 2017. General Jack Keane, a retired four-star General, Chairman of the Institute for the Study of War, and Fox News Senior Strategic Analyst, assesses global affairs and offers insights into how the incoming president and his national security team can confront these challenges. Democrats started 2025 losing the presidency, and Republicans currently hold a supermajority, controlling both the House and the Senate. So, as the year begins and inauguration day comes up quickly, Democrats are left questioning what went wrong. Next month, the Democratic National Committee will elect a new chairman to replace outgoing party boss Jamie Harrison. FOX News Digital Reporter Paul Steinhauser describes what the future looks like for the party and shares who the top contenders for the position are.  Learn more about your ad choices.

An Encore Presentation: President Trump's verdict is in – guilty on all 34 counts. Dr. Phil uses 15 years of trial science expertise to break down errors made by the trial judge in this historic conviction and how this impacts the country. A Trump verdict discussion like no other. Dr. Phil Primetime will focus on how this conviction is a judicial travesty. A former president, and current Republican nominee now facing up to four years in prison. And if given prison time, the ramifications are unprecedented. Dr Phil is joined by former prosecutor and The News on Merit Street anchor, Loni Coombs, and a constitutional attorney to discuss errors made by the trial judge, how this verdict is a travesty of monumental proportion and has potential catastrophic implications for the democracy.  We'll delve into why this is not really about Trump but about weaponizing the justice department to a level never seen before which has set off a series of politically motivated events that could take down the country.
