SEASON 4 EPISODE 80: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (3:00) SPECIAL COMMENT: Nobody is at the wheel of Trump's war in Iran. Is the Strait of Hormuz open or is it closed? Are there peace talks with Iran in Pakistan TOMORROW&hellip; or nah? Is Jayvee Vance going? Is Iran going? Has Trump scheduled peace talks where we&rsquo;re the only ones there? Will it&nbsp;make any difference if we&rsquo;re the only ones there? Doesn&rsquo;t &ldquo;blowing a hole in the engine room&rdquo; of an Iranian cargo ship yesterday mean we aren&rsquo;t honoring Trump&rsquo;s own ceasefire he boasted about? Are we paying 20 billion dollars for the Iranian uranium and hostages? The same uranium and hostages Obama bought for 400 million and Trump called him a traitor? Or is that a no? Don&rsquo;t ask Trump &ndash; he doesn&rsquo;t know. But that won&rsquo;t stop him from answering anyway. Yes. Then Nope. Then Yes again. Then: All of the Above. in 48 hours he went from 13 posts congratulating himself on winning, to insisting he would stop being &ldquo;Mr. Nice Guy&rdquo; and blow up all of Iran. By the way, eactly when was he &ldquo;Mr. Nice Guy&rdquo;? We are LOSING the war in Iran and as of today a total idiot is still president and commander-in-chief. He gets questions about the pointless war he started to divert attention from Epstein and the economy he crashed, so he orders the reporters out of the Oval Office, and sits there with hapless munchkin Little Joe Rogan standing behind him, the shine off his cueball noggin blinding cameras and journalists alike. Trump has set off a chain of events over which he no longer has any control &ndash; except to withdraw and flee &ndash; and to withdraw and flee is to&nbsp;acknowledge he screwed up. And this man would jump off the roof of the White House before admitting he screwed up. The Trump &ldquo;Administration&rdquo; has so UTTERLY jumped the shark, that the truthers are coming out from inside MAGA: Alex Jones now insists Trump has done all this DELIBERATELY, because he has made a &ldquo;deal with the deep state to throw the election to the Democrats." Marjorie Taylor Greene has joined the Trump Assassination Truthers and&nbsp;Trump himself has floated a kind of conspiracy theory ABOUT himself&hellip; he wrote &lsquo;Praise Be To Allah&rsquo; on Easter morning to &ldquo;seem as unstable and insulting as possible.&rdquo; He wanted to seem as unstable as possible? MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, Trump! You&rsquo;ve finally done something you promised! B-Block (28:30) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Before the year is out, Major League Baseball will threaten to lock the players out and cancel the season in 2027 because the smaller market teams can't make enough money to compete. One of those teams just sold for $3.1 billion more than it did in 2012. New York's hockey teams support a) Trump putting his name on public buildings or b) legal funds for cops convicted of killing unarmed civilians. Vivek Ramaswamy dismisses his opponent talking about being raped as a child as her "complaining." And Lauren Boebert thinks Congress is too horny and she won't remain, uh, hands off. C-Block (45:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Netflix stock took a huge hit, supposedly after the co-founder Reed Hastings announced he was bowing out. But I think it might've been another announcement that did it. They are going into news podcasts with - Brian Williams? The story of how he imploded at NBC, while I was literally an eyewitness to his public self-destruction, and the advice I gave his bosses that could have saved him (and them) if they hadn't ignored it.See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
