SEASON 3 EPISODE 128: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump wants – and his Republican Whore House of Representatives could give him, as early as today, more likely tomorrow – a LAW letting him not only ignore the courts and their injunctions or temporary restraining orders - but immunize himself and his minions from even BEING subject to CONTEMPT CITATIONS. The law, cutting the legs off every judge in this country including all of them on the Supreme Court, is sitting deep in the MAGA multi-trillion dollar budget bill, curled up like a snake ready to attack and poison the judiciary. At Trump’s sole discretion. Any court issuing a T-R-O against Trump or his pack of wolves with titles decimating safety regulations or firing tens of thousands of essential government employees; any court issuing an injunction against Trump kidnapping and renditioning people off the street; any court doing anything Trump doesn’t like could rule whatever IT likes but when it came to the only teeth such orders have – the threat of putting somebody who ignores them, IN jail, FOR contempt, would be GONE. The gist of this is the Trumpists found another loophole, about a cash bond requirement if you seek to enjoin the government. It’s normally set by the judge at Zero Dollars. This bill would make any such Contempt of Court findings or Injunctions set at zero… unenforceable. SO ICE has accelerated the renditions, now dismissing old charges that are currently being ajudicated and seizing the defendants at the courtrooms and putting them on flights to South Sudan or Libya or wherever because, if there's no Contempt of Court, who's going to stop them? ALSO: Kristi Noem having no idea what "Habeas Corpus" is? That was the SMART part. She also doesn't think "suspend" means "enact." Why is Trump investigating Andrew Cuomo? So if he gets elected Mayor of New York they can blackmail him into selling OUT New York. CBS is warned by Senators that its "settlement" with Trump may be a criminal bribe. And the bad news for CNN is, it's become a 24/7 Shopping Channel selling Jake Tapper's crap book. The good news is, they'll be televising George Clooney's live Broadway show about Murrow, "Good Night And Good Luck" so at least there'll be some pretend journalists on the network. B-Block (40:27) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Musk's "Grok" thinks Kristi Noem was talking about the WNBA. The guy Jeopardy fired as host after a week is now running Ben Shapiro's Propaganda Channel. And karma gets Bill Maher back for praising Trump and dissing Larry David: his "uncancellable" podcast studio? Cancelled. C-Block (52:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: The arrival of a piece of the fabric roof ripped off Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg last October by Hurricane Milton has inadvertently reminded me why I do this podcast, because it reminded me of the day nearly half a century ago when my dad the architect warned me not to go into an arena with another fabric roof that he (correctly) predicted was about to come off because of bad weather.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Did you miss anything from a LOADED Friday show?

We found out this morning that Tropicana Field (where the Rays typically play their games) is cursed? Well, apparently the property is on Native American burial grounds... and it could cause some bad luck!

You know the Tampa Bay Rays. If you're a baseball fan, you follow the wins and losses. But if you're a taxpayer in St Petersburg or Pinellas County, the ongoing stadium saga may grab your attention.The city of St Petersburg is fixing the damaged roof of Tropicana Field. Across the Bay in Tampa - the team plays its home games at Steinbrenner FieldBut here's the question you - and a lot of your neighbors - really want answered once and for all: Will the team stick around long-term after the one-point-three billion dollar deal to redevelop the stadium collapsed? WUSF's Steve Newborn, and Tampa Bay Times reporter Colleen Wright stopped by Florida Matters to help get you caught up with the latest twists and turns with the Rays and why this story reverberates far beyond the Trop. “The [St. Petersburg] mayor [Ken Welch] won't work with this ownership group,” Wright added. “I know that that sentiment is the same, also at the county level, they feel the same way, and they also feel like, if the Rays couldn't make it work with 700 plus million dollars in public funding, would it ever work? I don't know.” Newborn said negotiations on a new stadium go back decades. “This was pitched by Mayor Welch as a way to right what he views as an historical wrong. He had relatives who grew up in that old Gas Plant neighborhood which was bulldozed back in the 1980s to build this [Stadium], you know, which was by no means a sure thing. It was kind of ‘build it and they will come', right?” “So all this was seen as basically spurring a development that would create new taxes in the area around the stadium, right, that would make it profitable.”

Maybe we spoke too soon. Dr. Elizabeth Strom, a professor of urban politics and policy at The University of South Florida and an editor at DRays Bay, a Tampa Bay Rays blog on SB Nation, returns to our podcast this week. Two years ago, Episode 143 to be exact, Dr. Strom appeared to discuss what then looked like a solid deal for a new ballpark in St. Petersburg. A lot has happened since - most of it not good for Rays fans, at least Rays fans that want the team to stay in the Tampa/St. Pete area. Dr. Strom spills the tea and brings us up to date in this episode.You can support Hooks & Runs by purchasing books, including books featured in this episode (if any were), through our store at Bookshop.org.

Send us a textWith TV absent for this week's recording, EstoBro made a call to the bullpen to bring in Tampa Bay Tay as a special guest for the episode. They open the show by discussing the controversial fashion choices made by the MLB this year with new baseball caps (1:15). The pair laugh well over the jokes made all over the internet, followed by formal introductions. Tampa Bay Tay is one of the biggest Tampa Bay Rays fans alongside her dedicated fanship to other Florida-based teams. EstoBro engages her with the ongoing dramatics that have taken place with the team and their home stadium at Tropicana Field (17:30). The primary issue focuses on the Rays playing at Steinbrenner Field for the 2025 season and the politics ownership is facing after Hurricane Milton destroyed the roof of the Tropicana Field. As the pair focuses on the positives the Rays will face for the season, it is rather apparent that the entire baseball universe wants Rays' owner Stu Sternberg to sell the team to a well-rounded group that can move the Rays in the right direction. After the bulk of the show focuses on that topic, the pair also dissect the Rays' season and how they will fair based on predictions (51:00). With new roster additions and some major players coming back from injury, they show their optimism that the Rays can play above expectations and possibly return to the playoffs. With the Tokyo Series taking place this week, EstoBro and Tampa ay Tay also look at the outlook of the rest of the league (68:15), including anticipation for the World Baseball Classic taking place at the start of next season. Theme song made by iamRavedadInteract with the Gents of the podcast on the following social media platforms:X (Formally known as Twitter) YouTube InstagramBlog/websiteJoin the Discord serverSubscribe to the official playlist of the podcast

TKras was joined by former Rays manager Joe Maddon on The Drive, what does he think of the Rays right now, Tropicana Field and Stu Sternberg?

Pat and Aaron dive into a new proposal that has the Rays renovating Tropicana Field so that the Rays have a home in St. Pete for the next decade.

The Rays have proposed a deal to renovate Tropicana Field that would cost $600M dollars. The Rays would be responsible for 1/3 of that money. Nick asks listeners if they would vote for this new deal.

There is another new plan in place for Rays baseball and Tropicana Field, do you like it?

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): The mini-series continues as Gordo, Sammy, and Pat take a look at the team in the AL East who maybe has been flying under the radar in the Tampa Bay Rays. Is everyone sleeping on the Rays and how much of a factor will not playing at Tropicana Field will be? Also, Tampa has always leaned on their pitching and they will be getting their ace Shane McClanahan back along with young studs like Shane Baz in their starting rotation. And, Junior Caminero provides a thump in the Rays' lineup, but is that big enough to intimidate the Red Sox and others?
