Podcasts about Tim Russert

There are few others with as much experience covering the Supreme Court, Department of Justice, and Homeland Security than Pete Williams. He served as an NBC News Correspondent in Washington, DC for 29 years, and last year was named the inaugural Journalist in Residence at John Carroll University. The late Tim Russert, longtime host of NBC's Meet the Press and namesake of John Carroll University's Russert Department of Communication, inspired Williams to engage with John Carroll.rnrnBefore joining NBC News, Williams was an aide in the US Senate and House of Representatives. In 1986 he joined the staff of then-Congressman Dick Cheney as press secretary and legislative assistant. In 1989, when Cheney became Secretary of Defense, Williams was confirmed by the Senate as Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 116: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: I want polling on a special, emergency, extra-constitutional Presidential Recall Vote. I know there isn't going to BE a Presidential Recall Vote. I know we're not going extra-constitutional, we're not REPUBLICANS dammit. But they are always making up laws (inside the Supreme Court and outside of it) on the premise that the people really want it, so after this week of unprecedented insane unnecessary failure on the part of Trump and his Team of Imbecilic Rivals, I want to know where we stand. Because the moment we get 10 Republicans in the House and 14 in the Senate to believe that if Trump stays in office, their careers are over, he's gone. Half of them think he's nuts already and a quarter have had doubts. They need to be pushed and I don't want to wait until the mid-terms for them to get the damned message I want SOME pollster - independent, news-related, hired by the Democrats, SOMEBODY - to ask these questions: 1) if the election were re-run today would you vote for Trump or a Democrat. Or another Republican. Or a fairly intelligent farm animal. 2) would you support a special recall vote to potentially reverse the outcome of the 2024 presidential election. 3) would you describe the current financial panic and the upcoming tsunami of inflation and unemployment as a national emergency. 4) do you think Donald Trump has lost his mind. 5) do you think Donald Trump is mentally fit to run the country. 6) do you think Donald Trump is acting to destroy the United States on behalf of a foreign country. 7) do you think it is necessary to act outside the constitution if necessary to save the United States of America FROM Donald Trump. 8) if the midterm elections for the Senate and the House were tomorrow would you vote Republican or Democratic? WHATEVER the percentages are they could easily scare the crap out of 10 House Republicans and 14 Senate Republicans and the day they do, Trump vanishes. You doubt me? Ask Richard Nixon. Ask Abraham Lincoln, whom they were ready to get rid of seven months before Lee surrendered at Appomattox because they thought he wasn't going to be re-elected. Also is it possible the Democrats are listening to me? Obama emerges to spout sense, as I've asked. The DNC Chair founds "The People's Cabinet." All we need now is POLLING ON A PRESIDENTIAL RECALL VOTE. B-Block (31:28) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The Pittsburgh Pirates rip a Roberto Clemente memorial off their outfield wall to make room for an ad for seltzer, a Republican influencer insists there are no tariffs on Russia because we don't import anything from Russia (we import $2.5 Billion a year from Russia), and the Secretary of the Treasury wants YOU to buy American while he buys British. (41:28) SPORTSBALLCENTER: Alexander Ovechkin DOES have more goals than Wayne Gretzky now, but no, that's still not the big league hockey record (and Gretzky managed to throw himself out another window during the celebrations) and the date of the first American, maybe the first human, to be photographed giving the finger to the cameraman has to be pushed back from 1886 to 1882 after a discovery this weekend about baseball Hall of Famer Old Hoss Radbourn. C-Block (55:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: I have been asked by a listener to expand on last week's news that Chuck Todd not only does not realize that his news career is over but he thinks investors are going to give him $2,000,000,000 to go buy a news organization now. The answer to the question "Chuck Todd: Why?"See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 73: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Is Elon Musk going to buy MSNBC and turn it into pro-Trump propaganda channel? And, if not Musk – could somebody else? I may be asking the question backwards. Is there anybody to STOP someone, Musk or not, from buying MSNBC and turning it into pro-Trump propaganda? Well – who stopped Musk from doing that to Twitter? Who stopped Warner BROS Discovery from buying CNN and doing that incompletely but sufficiently enough to render CNN irrelevant in television news? We don't know for certain that MSNBC is for sale. Companies like Comcast take assets like MSNBC – which by itself has made a profit of something around five or six billion dollars since I made it into “the liberal news channel” in 2006 – and spin them off into another separate company they also own, and throw in CNBC and Oxygen and The Golf Channel and USA Network and half a dozen other assets and do it so hastily they don't even have a name for the new company and they're just calling it “SpinCo” – companies like Comcast do that all the time and never sell the new separate company oh no I'm being informed they never do that. Musk and Trump Junior have now had a "joking" exchange about it online but it underscores that this is exactly what Musk did to twitter and there's nobody and nothing to stop him from doing it here. This comes as The Wall Street Journal reports how corporations are seeing Musk as the new portal to Trump - and so is China. And as a purported old friend of his is insisting Musk has lost control of himself. This did not begin with the Joe Scarborough Trump disaster last week (though his audience in the "advertiser demo" is down to 51,000 people). It didn't even start with Trump. It pre-dates even my arrival there in 1997. MSNBC and NBC News and NBC and NBC's corporate owners have been at loggerheads continuously since long before the first newscast in 1996. To understand what's happening now, you have to understand what's happened already. B-BLOCK (31:35) SPECIAL COMMENT 2: This is not MSNBC's first existential crisis. The pre-Comcast corporate ownership at GE was ready to not merely sell the then-newly profitable network in June 2009, it was ready to shut it off and shut it down, just because the mother of the chairman of GE was a Fox fan and Bill O'Reilly was insulting her son. What happened then, and what happened with my departure in 2011, again forms a straight line with the sudden spin-off and the Musk "joke." C-BLOCK (48:00) THE OTHER WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The Philadelphia police department thinks a burned body may be "suspicious" (no; it happened naturally). Pete Hegseth once insisted it couldn't be rape if she was too drunk to refuse consent. And Nancy Mace and her chest are attacked by her former Communications Director. It's all part of life's rich pageant.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A study exclusively reported on by EWTN News reveals religious institutions and dioceses are spending big dollars to help pay off the student loan debts of their priests and religious – Montse Alvarado reports on the details and we delve into the topic with The Labouré Society's John Flanagan and Sr. Josephine Garrett, CSFN. Roselle Reyes examines how work visas and green cards can be a stumbling block to the U.S.' reliance on foreign-born priests serving in parishes. Athletes, missionaries, and a former Olympian are bringing the light of Christ to the 2024 Paris games – Mark Irons reports. We sit down with Luke Russert, author of “Look for Me There”, to hear how he leaned on his Catholic faith amid the sudden loss of his father, broadcast legend Tim Russert.

Author, educator, and motivational speaker Leo Buscaglia was an immensely popular figure in the 1980s, seeding the American psyche with a message of love and humanity.

SEASON 2 EPISODE 193: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: I have no use for Merrick Garland, in large part because he is one of those people who would never think to do this, and never realize that his Republican counterpart would do it in a heartbeat. Found in Contempt of Congress for ignoring a subpoena, as rammed through by Jim Jordan, who BEGAN to ignore a Congressional subpoena two years and a month ago? Garland should get a grand jury to indict Jordan TODAY. LET THE ASS-KISSING BEGIN: Trump goes to Capitol Hill for the first time since his attempted coup. Just to ratchet up the imagery, he'll be at the Capitol Hill Club, which is where the still undiscovered terrorist left one of his/her pipe bombs the night before.  COULD SCOTUS DECIDE TODAY? It is to issue decisions today and tomorrow. One of them may be about Trump's imaginary "Presidential Immunity." Or not. Or maybe they'll keep it a secret. Or run it up a flag poll to see who'll salute. Another bid to make them follow SOME rules has been vetoed by Lindsey Graham. AND IN MEMORY OF MY FRIEND HOWARD FINEMAN: There is a tiny silver lining in Howard's story, which he honored me by sharing with me since his diagnosis and prognosis 18 months ago. He was with me from literally the HOUR my political career began through last Wednesday when his "intro" to the B-Block last ran. He was brilliant, supportive, honest, indefatigable, funny, beloved, and I will tell you why his fight made our sadness just a little easier to endure. B-Block (25:14) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: So she felt she had to tell everybody to stop calling Jill Biden "Hunter Biden's mother" because she wasn't his biological mother. Someone wrote - and I could not find a clip to confirm this - that she then implied that when the President referred to his wife, and to Hunter as "their son" it was a sign of dementia. So we need to talk about what's wrong with Katy Tur. We'll start with the fact that Katy is herself the step-mother to two children. I have known that families and motherhood have been issues for her since we met in 2006, even before we lived together. But to drag this onto the air - onto news coverage - is unforgivable. It's time for MSNBC to find somebody else. C-Block (45:02) GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCKSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As a child, Luke Russert would grab a mic and narrate his surroundings, a habit that was not surprising given his parents' profession. His early exposure to journalism, growing up on sets and around politics, laid the foundation for his future career.  Luke joins Sophia to share his experience growing up in the world of journalism and the impact the loss of his dad, Tim Russert, had on him. He opens up about delivering a eulogy to a room full of presidents and senators, forging his own career path, dealing with comparisons to his father, and the surprising advice he received that made him decide to walk away from the world of news for a while. He also talks about his journey of self-discovery and coming to terms with grief which led to his book, "Look for Me There: Grieving My Father, Finding Myself," available now. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Back in 1999 when Donald Trump was flirting with a presidential run, he was pro-abortion rights. In an interview on Meet the Press with NBC's Tim Russert, the New York real estate developer said he didn't like abortion, but he wouldn't ban it.Fast forward almost two decades, and Trump was running for the republican presidential nomination, and he had a very different stance on abortion, even suggesting in an MSNBC town hall meeting that women should be punished for seeking abortions.Trump ultimately won the presidency with the support of white Evangelical voters, many of whom wanted to see Roe v. Wade overturned. Six years after he won, the Supreme Court justices Trump appointed helped deliver exactly that.Now as Trump mounts another run for the White House, abortion rights are on the ballot and winning. And Trump has once again evolved his stance on abortion.

[This blog will always be free to read, but it's also how I pay my bills. If you have suggestions or feedback on how I can earn your paid subscription, shoot me an email: cmclymer@gmail.com.]Yesterday, I watched host Kristin Welker get absolutely steamrolled by Rep. Elise Stefanik on “Meet the Press” in what was certainly one of the most embarrassing interviews I've ever seen on a Sunday talk show. In a long segment replete with unrelenting pro-Trump propaganda, Stefanik refused to commit to certifying the 2024 election results, implied President Biden is attempting to get Trump removed the ballot (there is zero evidence of this), claimed the federal government is being “weaponized” against conservatives (again, no evidence of this), and referred to the terrorists involved in the Jan. 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol as “hostages,” among other asinine and deeply irresponsible statements.Stefanik, the Chair of the Republican House Conference, appeared to be auditioning to be Donald Trump's running mate, since the former president, at this point, seems to be a lock for the GOP's presidential nomination. It was a particularly shameless and self-serving performance, even for Stefanik, who has become a punchline in D.C. circles over the past six years for the way she has transparently sold her soul for power.Welker, meanwhile, sat there and weakly pushed back against the tirade, almost seeming apologetic at times when attempting to correct the Congresswoman. At several points, Welker appeared to attempt interjecting during long-winding vomits of disinformation by Stefanik, only to stay silent and let it continue.It was all the more frustrating given that Welker, just over a week ago, on New Year's Eve, offered a closing statement of commitment for what the show hoped to accomplish in the new year, which included this:“…to build upon the great tradition of this show, which is about accountability and earning your trust. Meet the Press has always been a place for diverse voices and challenging conversations. It is essential to our democracy and who we are as a country.”Again, that was the previous week. Just seven days prior.When Welker was first announced as the replacement for Chuck Todd, I was quite optimistic. I felt Todd had long been an abysmal steward of “Meet the Press” and completely unsuited for what this moment in history requires of a proactive and honest political media. I felt Welker would be a substantial improvement.Welker had demonstrated a talent for obliquely cutting through b******t in a manner that might make the interviewee feel less attacked. This was on display during her first show at the helm, when she scored a few points for integrity while interviewing Donald Trump, in itself a widely-criticized booking decision.The decision to book Trump, of course, immediately proved to be a net negative, but I had hope that she was playing the long game: mollifying some on the right by signaling that she would be a fair interviewer even to the most nasty interviewee.At various moments since then, I have found her approach somewhat effective, perhaps getting into a more confident mode of challenging obvious nonsense with clarity and common sense.Yesterday's interview has blown that notion apart. “Meet the Press” now seems to mostly exist for the benefit of politicians and journalists who are seeking to build their personal brands. It's a great place for a rightwing extremist to achieve legitimacy in the eyes of viewers who don't know any better.Because the Sunday shows—Meet the Press (NBC), Face the Nation (CBS), State of the Union (CNN), and Fox News Sunday—so often shape the week's agenda on the Hill and its surrounding discourse, a lot of folks in politics will continue to watch them to stay ahead of the conversation, myself included.But if you don't work in politics, there's little benefit to be found here. These shows are really no longer about serving the public so much as they're mostly geared toward being a live-action LinkedIn for those participating.That's a tragedy. We really could use someone like Tim Russert right now.Because there's no way in hell he would have let Stefanik force-feed him that b******t.Charlotte's Web Thoughts is a reader-supported publication.

Before launching our next great season with amazing guests, we are taking a listen back to some of the highlights of Season 8. This episode features Luke Russert, a storytelling virtuoso. With a pedigree that's as steeped in journalistic history as his, you could even say that it's in his DNA. But the crushing weight of those very expectations are what sent him on a captivating journey to the furthest corners of the world. Luke Russert is an award-winning journalist, bestselling author and son of the late Tim Russert, famed host of NBC's Meet the Press. In his debut memoir, Luke chronicles his three-year quest to self-discovery. Not only did it take him to nearly 70 countries around the globe, it helped him define who he was beyond his fathers shadow…while grieving - and honoring - the legacy he built.Website: https://www.harpercollinsfocus.com/9780785291817/look-for-me-there/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lukerussert/?hl=en Twitter: https://twitter.com/lukerussert?lang=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LukeRussertNBC/

Grief is something we'll all experience. But almost no one talks about it. That's one of the reasons why Luke Russert is sharing his story. Luke is a journalist, author, and former correspondent for NBC News. He is known for his work covering Capitol Hill and the 2008 presidential election. He's also the son of the late Tim Russert, a renowned journalist and former moderator of NBC's "Meet the Press." Luke Russert's book, Look for Me There: Grieving My Father, Finding Myself, explores his personal journey of grief and healing after the loss of his father. Some of the things he talks about are how to honor the memory of a loved one, the process of grief and how it helps us heal, and the steps that helped him confront grief to move forward.

SEASON 2 EPISODE 28: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:43) SPECIAL COMMENT: I call for the immediate arrest of Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, representative of the 14th district of Georgia, for violating 18 US code 871 – “Threats against the President and Successors to the Presidency.” Greene has posted to social media video of a direct threat to harm or kill Joe Biden, made by a man who when asked about that threat of personal violence replied “I don't regret nothing I said. I (effing) mean it, bro." Greene's own ignorance of the federal code dealing with threats against the President is no defense. 18 U-S code 871 quite clearly states that the threat does NOT have to be first-hand. Greene does not have to have said it, she merely has to have distributed the threat. Though she helpfully began her distribution and promulgation of the threat against Biden's life with her own statement: “I agree with this man.” At some point we have to break Greene - and the fascist right's - dance along the cliff-edge of political violence. Just two weeks ago she rightly complained that violent threats against her had gotten a weak three-month sentence. Now, the threat she distributed should be met by her being charged, arrested, convicted, and sentenced to the maximum of five years. Because occasionally the Justice System works. "Enrique" Tarrio broke the January 6 record with a 22-year sentence (though take the odds and bet on Trump getting more). And let's hear it for my new hero, Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro, who was born in Cuba and who accused political ignoramus and stunter Tommy Tuberville of more than even endangering national security by holding up military promotions. “For someone who was born in a communist country," said Secretary Del Toro, "I would never have imagined that actually one of our own senators would actually be aiding and abetting communists and other autocratic regimes around the world.” And there is more on the 14th Amendment, now the flavor of the month in the media. Michigan's Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson makes an interesting revelation: “Secretaries of states of multiple states are having conversations. I'm talking with folks in Pennsylvania, with the secretary of state in Nevada and even in Maine; people in Georgia of course – my colleague Brad Raffensberger – just to get a sense of what the facts are” and she added that a group of states quote “likely need to act in concert, if we act at all.” B-Block (21:10) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: I'm somewhat limited by a throat infection, but here are Anthony Rendon of baseball's Angels who can't play due to a string of injuries (it happens) but refuses to talk about it (it's inexcusable), Washington Post "Fact Checker" Glenn Kessler, and the Saudi Prince who's trying to choose our president for us and whose exports to this country we should cut off and whose assets here we should seize. C-Block (29:12) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Yesterday was the 15th anniversary of the night the Republican Party and Tom Brokaw got me fired as the co-anchor of MSNBC's 2008 Presidential Debate coverage because the Republicans told Brokaw do this or McCain won't show up for the debate you inherited when Tim Russert died and Brokaw really wanted a second career after Brian Williams had buried his first career alive and threw me under the bus even though I had welcomed him to our MSNBC campaign coverage when NBC had literally benched him for the '08 campaign.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Luke Russert is an Emmy-award winning journalist who left his career covering American politics on NBC Nightly News, TODAY, and MSNBC to travel the world. After the death of his father, the legendary journalist Tim Russert, Luke set out on a three month trip that turned into three years as he traveled to six continents covering 67 countries. He journaled every step of the way, and it was only upon returning — in his grandmother's kitchen in San Francisco — that he realized his journey was much greater than his trip. He turned his journal entries into a NY Times Bestseller, Look for Me There, which details how travel helped him process his grief and ultimately led to self-discovery. Through beautiful storytelling, Luke shares the greatest lessons he learned on his adventure around the world. From profound moments of awe in New Zealand to his travels in the birthplace of wine in Tbilisi, Georgia to the best meal he (and Melissa) have ever eaten in Uruguay; Luke shares a deeply personal, internal journey and reminds us of the power in travel.  For highlights of Luke's travel advice and more information on where to find his book, Look for Me There, see below: Luke's Travel TakeawaysDon't wait to travel because you may be able to participate in certain activities now that could become more challenging later in life due to health and physical limitations.Be curious and think critically about how new environments differ from your own.The more you travel and push yourself outside your comfort zone, the more comfortable you will become in uncertainty. This gives you the ability to explore any uneasy thoughts with more clarity. Build moments around the day to give yourself downtime, whether it's unwinding in your hotel room or enjoying leisure time in a cafe.Ensure that everyone is on board with the daily activities planned. Be mindful that what you desire may not be what your travel companion desires.Embrace spontaneity while traveling as schedules can change while on the road. Having the ability to adapt to the changes will make your trip more enjoyable.Ultize travel as a way to decompress from the constant hour-by-hour, minute-by-minute-mindset. This time will allow you to process deeper emotions. To read more about Luke's road to self-discovery, check out his NY Times Bestseller book, Look for Me There available on Bookshop, HarperCollins, and Amazon.To follow along Luke's journey, check out his Instagram @lukerussert.

He is an award-winning journalist, bestselling author and son of the late Tim Russert, famed host of NBC's Meet the Press. In his debut memoir, Luke chronicles his three-year quest to self-discovery.

ive from the Heart of America—I'm Steve Gruber— Your Soldier of Truth—the Tip of the Spear against socialists—here ready to fight for you from the Foxhole of Freedom—AND—giving you better analysis than anyone else while defending this great nation—this is the Steve Gruber Show—   Here are 3 big things you need to know right now—   Number One— John Kerry and his fellow globalist cult members are continuing to attack farming—the latest target of the so called green new deal—strange that they want to plow farms under—   Number Two— Barack Obama apparently met with Joe Biden in June and told him clearly that Donald Trump—no matter what they throw at him should not be under estimated—and could certainly win in 2024—   Number Three— I never thought I would see the day that my nation—my beloved America—founded on the greatest governing documents ever conceived would be charging politicians with crimes for giving political speeches—   It is truly a heartbreaking point in history—and one that must be put down like a rapid dog—this attack on the First Amendment by way of Donald Trump cannot stand—   It should not matter whether you are a Republican or Democrat or Libertarian—if you are not appalled by the attacks on free speech being carried out by the same guy that had convictions against the former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell thrown out by a unanimous 9-0 vote of the United States Supreme Court—then you are not paying attention—AT ALL!   Jack Smith has wandered so far afield that he is using a post Civil War statue designed to rein in the Ku Klux Klan to try to pin something on the former President—BUT the latest charges are the weakest of all—   After being arraigned in DC—President Trump spoke to a few reporters for a few moments—   Not far away—one of the Presidents attorneys laid out the strange relationship between the spreading scandals involving both Hunter Biden and now the implications that his father was taking in millions of dollars too—with the timing of charges aimed at Donald Trump—   And all of that is suspect—BUT what is really going on here?   Its time we peel away the whitewash and get to the facts of the matter—and the fact is—Jack Smith—is a political operative trying to take out Joe Bidens number one opponent in the upcoming Presidential Election—by almost making up charges out of thin air—and that comes from a long time, well respected Constitutional attorney—who is also a Democrat—    And if the First Amendment no longer covers the free discussion of ideas from politicians—that could create a whole new playing field huh?   And the man that broke the trail that made it possible for me to sit here along with others—and give our take on what is happening here and around the world—he saw this coming years ago—and this will come as no surprise—   Rush knew then—man we could use him today—and Andrew Breitbart—and maybe even Tim Russert—voices that would have a lot to say about the unprecedented attacks on a former President and leading candidate—   Boy that would be nice huh?   Getting back now to the revelations that came out this week from long-time friend of Hunter and his business partner—or is that his Partner in crime? Either way—what Democrat Dan Goldman said following the closed door hearing—well it turns out—most of it was not true at all—and the one MSM Network following the story—laid it on the line—   And the other talking point that Democrats tried to push just doesn't pass the stink test—in fact we now know that Joe Biden sat down at dinner with one of the key players from the Ukrainian energy company Burisma—   But the Media wants you to think it was just Pops checking in and doting on his kid—   Yeah, good old Super Dad—the amazing father Joe Biden—who, when he is not groping and sniffing minors—is working alongside his addict son—to coerce foreign stakeholders to pay up with giant amounts of money—to have him fix their problems in Washington—   And yet—all the attacks on Trump seem to pale in comparison to the misdeeds of the Biden Clan—at least that's what voters are apparently deciding—

“Look for me there,” news legend Tim Russert would tell his son, Luke, when confirming a pickup spot at an airport, sporting event, or rock concert. After Tim died unexpectedly, Luke kept looking for his father, following in Tim's footsteps and carving out a highly successful career at NBC News. After eight years covering politics on television, Luke realized he had no good answer as to why he was chasing his father's legacy. As the son of two accomplished parents—his mother is journalist Maureen Orth of Vanity Fair—Luke felt the pressure of high expectations but suddenly decided to leave the familiar path behind. Instead, Luke set out on his own to find answers. What began as several open-ended months of travel to decompress and reassess morphed into a three-plus-year odyssey across six continents to discover the world and, ultimately, to find himself. Look for Me There is both the vivid narrative of that journey and the emotional story of a young man taking charge of his life, reexamining his relationship with his parents, and finally grieving his larger-than-life father, who died too young. For anyone uncertain about the direction of their life or unsure of how to move forward after a loss, Look for Me There is a poignant reflection that offers encouragement to examine our choices, take risks, and discover our truest selves. Luke Orth Russert is an Emmy Award–winning journalist who was an NBC News correspondent from 2008 to 2016, primarily covering American politics. Since leaving broadcast journalism, he is the author of Look for Me There, a travel memoir about his three-and-a-half-year journey around the world that took him to more than sixty-five countries. Based in Washington, DC, he is the son of journalists Maureen Orth (Vanity Fair) and the late Tim Russert (NBC's Meet the Press).

EPISODE 139: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:43) SPECIAL COMMENT: The Kevin McCarthy/Tucker Carlson Scandal has blown wide open as The Capitol Police Board meets to vote on whether or not to stop the Speaker from giving the Fox News Liar what Rep. Zoe Lofgren calls "a blueprint for bad guys on how to more successfully attack the Capitol." House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries convenes his caucus this afternoon to take what action it can as Jeffries calls the collusion between McCarthy and Carlson "an egregious security breach." In essence, Kevin McCarthy has STOLEN the January 6th video and handed it to Tucker Carlson, and Tucker Carlson and Fox News have already done more damage to this country than Al-Qaeda or ISIS or Atomwaffen or any other terrorist group could dream of. We're approaching the 20th anniversary of the day Geraldo Rivera, live on Fox News Channel, gave away the position and movements of the 101st Airborne Division, and was literally escorted out of Iraq by the U.S. military. This underscores the reality that Fox News has NEVER cared about the troops, about freedoms, about America. It sells a product. The product is phony patriotism. The product is a distorted picture of America. The product is hate. The product is lies. It's time to put the manufacturers of the product, Fox "News," out of business. B-Block (20:27) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Trump Georgia Grand Jury presents Hint Number 32,753; Barney Rubble's Body Double doubles down on the Red State/Blue State divorce but adds taking away voting rights for Democrats; Democrats make criminal referral on Ohio Train Disaster while Republicans hesitate to offend their corporate masters (31:20) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: an unfortunate Washington Post headline, a really dumb Oklahoma congressman, and a really disturbing Alaska state legislator who believes if an abused child is killed, "it's actually a benefit to society." C-Block (31:20) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: When I talk about Fox and its core value - evil - I'm not just repeating what I've heard. I was once fired, personally, by Rupert Murdoch, for telling the truth, and my bosses got dragged for it as well.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

EPISODE 129: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:41) SPECIAL COMMENT: The State of the Union Address has long since become an anachronism; devolving into a series of insiders talking to insiders and pointing to ordinary citizens as if they were creatures on display at a zoo; e a ritual with the meaning sucked out of it; an ever-louder arguing for resuming what President Thomas Jefferson first thought to do: to just write the damn speech and have somebody else drop it off at the House Chamber door And against that backdrop of near-obsolescence, President Joe Biden absolutely KILLED The State of the Union last night. At his finest, at his most robust, at his most combative, in his element, in the arena, throwing punches, blocking the hecklers, and unashamedly exploiting the undeniable advantage of having the only microphone in the room, he delivered a masterpiece. I don't know how many of these I have heard and how many of the claims and promises and attitudes and catchphrases and applause lines I have heard at 9:30 and forgotten by 11, but this one I'll remember: roads and infrastructure and education and insulin caps and unfair taxes and hidden service fees and cable costs and raising teachers' pay and quadrupling the stock buyback tax, and non-compete clauses for fast food cashiers and “The Talk” and “Something Good Must Come From This” and “Do Something” and “Ban Assault Weapons Now” And without one of them ever seeing it coming, he provided the coup-de-grace: baiting the Republicans into loudly and embarrassingly shouting and bleating and denying what they've all been murmuring about all week: baiting the Republicans into insisting no, they don't want to gut social security and medicare. And thank you to Marjorie Tailor Greene as Cruella deVil and Kyrsten Sinema as Tweety after the car airbags had inflated and especially Trump for choosing, of all days, the afternoon of the SOTU to accuse Ron DeSantis of "grooming high school girls." Few political speeches are great. Fewer still are masterpieces. THAT was an actual masterpiece. B-Block (13:29) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Flaco the escaped Central Park Zoo Eagle-Owl RETURNS to the zoo...and then leaves again for Wollman Rink but is scared away by the unbelievably loud P.A. system? (14:56) IN SPORTS: Aaron Rodgers doesn't know people close their blinds when they go to sleep and LeBron James once tried to get an ESPN sportscaster fired because he thought she was mean to him? (17:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: American opinion weaponizes against The New McCarthyism and Kevin McCarthy's "Weaponization" subcommittee while George Santos may bring Lee Zeldin down with him, and a London tabloid anoints a dark horse GOP presidential candidate for 2024. Or maybe it's 2022. Or maybe it's 2020. They refer to all three! C-Block (22:30) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Nigel, in New York (23:30) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Joe Biden's State of the Union last night may have been an epic all-timer. The 1998 one came at the very start of the Clinton-Lewinsky Scandal and MSNBC didn't choose an anchor for its coverage until almost the last minute. Imagine my surprise when that anchor turned out to be... ME.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Meet the Press is the longest-running television program in America. The show hosts and has hosted many of the most important world leaders of the past 70 years. Meet the Press has had 12 hosts since it began in 1947, many of which are giants in American journalism, such as Martha Rountree, Ned Brooks, Tim Russert, and Tom Brokaw. Over the years Meet the Press has been a staple for those who follow politics and world affairs, and it has had a reputation for being none-partisan, unbiased, and objective. It was a program that was trusted on both sides of the political aisle, but something has happened to the show since the death of its longest serving host, Tim Russert in 2008. The show has been rapidly going downhill since 2014 when the current host, Chuck Todd took over. It is no longer none-partisan, unbiased, and objective. It has become hostile to Republicans while pushing the agenda of the Democrats. Todd is essentially a shill for the Democratic Party. How does Todd demonstrate his bias in his recent interview with the Chairman of the Judiciary and new House Select Committees, Jim Jordan? Join the conversation and get answers to this question and more on According2Sam episode #149.

We've made it to 1994. In September, House Republicans gather on the steps of the Capitol and sign the Contract with America.
