EPISODE 231: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:43) SPECIAL COMMENT: Obviously President Biden must fire Attorney General Garland and Deputy Attorney General Monaco and not merely because neither of them can possibly continue after yesterday's revelations in The Washington Post just as none of US can possibly continue holding our breaths wondering WHAT about the Trump and January 6th prosecutions they will screw up NEXT. Two years and nearly six months after the first attempted coup and Garland and Monaco still do not understand that this is about SELF-DEFENSE: of Justice, of Democracy, of America. If that ISN'T your attitude about the response to Trump and the coup attempt that was and the coup attempt that WILL be get out. But especially if you are in the Justice Department and you don't understand that the point WAS and WILL BE to eliminate YOU; if you don't understand that the ultimate goal of Trump and the creatures around him is to take the limitless finances they have been given, and the limitless TIME they have been given - BY YOU - and walk into the Department of Justice or whatever white shoe law firm you have escaped to, and hand you a piece of paper bearing a fascist order signed by a fascist judge convicting you of being an official Trump-brand enemy of the people and authorizing the Trump Police to HANG you - get out. Because, then, you will have rendered this nation – at its time of greatest peril - defenseless just as the coalition of Hate gears up for another attack. Because, then, you will have nowhere to hide from them because the rest of us, whom you have left without defense, will be fending for ourselves. And Merrick Garland and Lisa Monaco have to go, first. Because I don't know what's LEFT for them to screw up here but I'm sure Garland will find something in his style book for the Department of Justice that says that unless you deliver the subpoenas by Pony Express, you can't move against a criminally insane ex-president unless you make sure you wait just long enough that there's no way any of the verdicts can be rendered until after the election that might put him back in office, upon which he will have the charges withdrawn or will pardon himself or will simply ignore ALL the laws ALL at once and tell you to take you to take him to the Supreme Court. B-Block (22:30) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: If you're the president of MSNBC and you are asked 'If Trump were interested, would you put him on MSNBC in a live town hall format' and your answer is not "HELL NO" you must be fired. And if her answer was not "HELL NO" and you're one of the MSNBC hosts whose primetime show was spun off from mine all those years ago (Maddow, O'Donnell, Hayes) and you do not use your power to push back against the network's president and her journalistic perfidy, you have forfeited your credibility and reduced yourself to the status of Check-Cashing Talking Head. C-Block (48:00) SPECIAL COMMENT REDUX (Note: this is repeated from Monday's Episode 230) Special Counsel Jack Smith may be readying an indictment against Trump for illegally attempting to coerce Mike Pence to defy his legal duties in the Electoral College count? Ryan Goodman from “Just Security,” whom I cite here frequently though I don't know him and only because he knows this stuff, told Bill Kristol's podcast that he thinks Jack Smith quote “going to indict Trump for the False Slate of Electors scheme” – and with Goodman saying the odds Fonny Willis indicts on False Electors and election interference in Georgia are 90 percent, Trump could face twin federal and state cases on overlapping topics. And then Goodman adds something that took my breath away. Indicting Trump for False Electors, “AND quite probably/possibly the pressure campaign against Mike Pence.” Wait – what? Goodman sets the odds on Jack Smith indicting Trump ABOUT PENCE… at 60 to 70 percent. Pressuring the Vice President, Goodman says, quoting him again “is independent of whether or not he thought he won the election. He can think he won the election, doesn't matter. But you can't try to coerce a public official to defy their legal duties – which is just to count the votes.” Goodman doesn't mention that, but you will remember that Stewart Rhodes and other Oathkeepers were prosecuted for – and convicted of – interfering with Congress's ability to complete its legal duties. Ponder for a moment the prospect of Smith indicting Trump, running for the Republican nomination, for attempting to coerce PENCE, running for the Republican nomination. Oh and necessarily having Pence TESTIFY AGAINST TRUMP either before Trump is nominated or before the election. I'm beginning to think we may have WILDLY under-estimated how many MORE things Jack Smith is about to indict Trump for. There is reason today to believe that the number of separate indictments OF Trump BY Smith could be as many as FOUR. Maybe even FIVESee omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to All Souls Witchy Women Episode 7: The T Word, our Time’s Convert review. We discuss what we loved, our favorite quotes, and what made us go hmmmm. We veered a bit off course from our usual podcast thematic format to do a review of Deborah Harkness’ new bestseller, Time’s Convert. The short version is WE LOVED THIS BOOK! But that would be a rather short podcast wouldn’t it? So here’s breakdown of what we discuss: our favorite quotes, what we liked about the three interwoven storylines (with some delicious background information from Deb’s book tour stop at the Georgia Center for the Book in Decatur, Georgia, which Ashley and Nikki were lucky enough to attend), and then we end the podcast with some bits from the book that made us go hmmmm. We hope you enjoy the podcast and would love to hear your comments too. What were your favorite parts of Time’s Convert? Housekeeping details: We’ve read the whole All Souls Trilogy and will try to stay on topic if we say a particular show is going to only cover A Discovery of Witches, but we may forget or digress or whatever so consider yourself warned if you’ve only read one of the books. For the record, this particular podcast seems to be fairly safe for those who’ve only read ADOW. Also this podcast is labeled explicit because we sometimes swear and we’re going to talk about sex because, well, there’s sex in the books. So that’s why we gave it the explicit rating. You’ve now been officially warned Show notes: Each episode we bring you a note about wine because red wine is a main form of sustenance for vampires when they’re not drinking, you know. blood. Oh, and we like wine…a lot. Usually our weekly wine notes come to us compliments of our resident sommelier, Bayard, who knows what he’s talking about because he’s a founding partner at Crafted Brands. This week Bayard discusses madeira because it was a drink popular during the American Revolution and is mentioned in Time’s Convert. Check out our Episode 7 Madeira wine note to learn more about this 18th century drink.

A Way with Words — language, linguistics, and callers from all over
Right off the bat, it's easy to think of several everyday expressions that derive from America's pastime. Including right off the bat. The Dickson Baseball Dictionary catalogues not just those contributions but also more obscure terms like "pebble picker," and explains why a fastball is called a "Linda Ronstadt." Plus, as more transgender people are publicly recognized, there's a debate about which pronouns to use. And who in the world would give a one-star review on Amazon to … Herman Melville's Moby-Dick? Plus, the plural of hummus, tear the rag off the bush, to boot, synesthesia, paper stretchers, wet washes, and the verb to podcast. FULL DETAILS Right off the bat, you can probably name a long list of common idioms that come from baseball. For example, right off the bat. But how about some of the more obscure ones, like the Linda Ronstadt? In a nod to Ronstadt's song "Blue Bayou," her name is used in baseball to refer to a ball that blew by you. Paul Dickson has collected this and hundreds of other baseball terms in his comprehensive book, The Dickson Baseball Dictionary. The plural of hummus isn't easy to pin down, because although the word's ending looks like a Latin singular, it's actually Arabic. For waiters and party hosts serving multiple plates of hummus, it's not wrong to say hummuses, but plates of hummus will do just fine. The Spanish idiom, arrimar el ascua a su sardina, literally means "to bring an ember to one's own sardine." It means "to look out for number one," the idea being that if a group is cooking sardines over a fire, and each person pulls out a coal to cook his own fish, then the whole fire will go out. So the idiom carries the sense not only of being selfish, but the effects of that selfishness on the larger community. Something excellent can be said to tear the rag off the bush, or take the rag, and it likely comes from old Western shooting competitions, where the winner would shoot a rag off a bush. The Oxford English Dictionary shows examples in print going back to the early 19th century. A listener in St. Cloud, Minnesota, reports that when she first started in the printing business, new employees would be hazed with the prank assignment of finding a "paper stretcher" to make a web—the big sheet of paper that newspapers are printed on—a little larger. There is, of course, no such thing, and sending someone to find one is just one of many ways to tease newbies. Also, strippers in the newspaper business are much tamer than the common stripper—it's just a term for those who prep images and copy for the printing plates. Quiz Guy John Chaneski scoured Amazon for 1-star reviews of classic literature and turned them into a puzzle about some readers' questionable taste. For example, what novel isn't even about fishing, since a whale is a mammal? The saying to boot comes from an Old English word bot, meaning "advantage" or "remedy." It's related to the contemporary English words better and best, so if something's to boot, it's added or extra. Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. wrote, in a Supreme Court opinion no less, that "a word is not a crystal, transparent and unchanged; it is the skin of a living thought and may vary greatly in color and content according to the circumstances and time in which it is used." As more transgender people are publicly recognized, what pronouns should we use to describe them? The best thing to do is find a polite way to ask how someone would like to be addressed. Epicene pronouns like they, ze, and others have had a hard time sticking. A good starting place for exploring transgender issues is Laverne Cox's documentary The T-Word. People with synesthesia have long been known to associate sensations like sounds with others, like seeing certain colors. New research suggests that color associations with certain letters—at least for individuals born after 1967—are largely influenced by Fisher Price fridge magnets. One caller says his grandma's favorite parting phrase was See you in the wet wash! A wet wash was an old-fashioned facility for washing—though not drying—laundry. But it's anyone's guess as to why someone would allude to soaked laundry when taking their leave. We've spoken before about It'll be better when you're married, often used to console someone who just had a small scrape or cut. A Chicago-area listener wrote us to say that in such cases, her mom's phrase was Quick, get a spoon! The word podcasting is commonly used to refer to making podcasts, but it's also used by some as the verb for listening to downloading or listening to podcasts. The language around podcasts has always been tricky since the format was released—Apple initially disliked the use of pod—and practitioners like the TWiT network advocated for netcast. Every time Martha tries naming all 26 letters in the alphabet, she only comes up with 25. But she can't remember Y. The exclamation crime in Italy is a variation of criminently, or criminy, both euphemisms for Christ. In baseball, a pebble picker, or pebble hunter, is a fielder who picks up a pebble from the ground after a missed catch, as if to blame the pebble for his own error. In the world at large, the term is a jab at someone who can never admit a mistake.

The LGBT world has evolved so much over the past few years with topics such as gay marriage, transgender talks, human rights, adoption and overall acceptance that we are all one. On the heels of the interview with Diane Sawyer, Bruce Jenner publically came out as a transgender woman gaining over 30 million viewers. Daytime's "The Bold and the Beautiful" has taken on the transgender world by revealing in a shocking twist that a character is a transgender woman. Laverne Cox is leading the way with her story and Daytime Emmy win this weekend for "The T Word," a docu-series about the transgender community. Tonight, I sit down with David O'Quinn, author of "Who I Am, What I Want," to talk about his new book about transgender love along with David's very own personal story and announcement regarding this very topic. Not only is this topic important to David, but I am lucky to call David a friend. To buy David's book, be sure to click HERE and follow David on Twitter HERE.
