SEASON 2 EPISODE 66: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN

A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Aileen Cannon, Trump's Personal Concierge Judge, is poised to delay his trial for stealing, stashing, stacking, and sharing secret documents and US war plans - at least until after the primaries and probably until after the election, possibly as early as today. Her excuse will be: he traitor so much that the court schedules are just too crowded with traitor trial stuff. She will first delay by giving him rights to see secret documents he does not have the right to see. She will then use the delay she's fabricated to say that NOW she has to delay everything because the Florida Documents trial schedule is colliding with the Washington Election Subversion trial schedule.

That'll be her excuse. The reality is that three years ago a week from Monday, she was still just one of 6300 Assistant United States Attorneys and it was Trump who made her a judge for the first time. Happy Anniversary, Concierge Judge.

THE DEMENTIA J. TRUMP SCHEDULE: More insomnia, more crazy threats against judges, and then one of the all-time lulus. On a video designed to inflame the cult, he tells them it's "Your chance to take a stand against tyrants that support the one and only movement the can save our country and Make America Great Again." In other words, for some reason, Trump is saying that you must FIGHT THE TYRANTS THAT SUPPORT MAGA. It's either a Freudian slip, or syphilis.

AND THE MIKE JOHNSON MOTHER LODE continues to produce unbelievable and damaging gold. The new speaker a) doesn't understand deficits and offsets b) has claimed he has not had a bank account since at least 2016 and c) was once a major player in forced Conversion Therapy for gay teens. 

WHAT'S in his closet? My guess is, the first thing is, the doors to several MORE closets.

B-Block (23:47) IN SPORTS: The Diamondbacks never led once, not one inning, in the last three games and Texas polished them off 5-0 to win their first World Series. The TV ratings are likely to be the worst ever, by 20% or more. The San Diego Padres had to borrow $50 million in September to make payroll. And Bobby Knight has died. I'll neither mourn nor mock him but I will tell you of the day 30 years ago he tried to get me fired from SportsCenter (36:05) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: A crazy bulletin from Fox News; How HBO used burner accounts to criticize the critics; the GOP Pennsylvania Senate candidate who thinks he could fight a bear - and win.

C-Block (43:40) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: From The Desert To The Sea To All of California: the story of one of the most remarkable newscasters I ever worked in the same market with.

The Doggie previews Game 5 of the World Series as the Diamondbacks are down 3-1 clinging to life.

The Doggie made it to Arizona for Game 3 of the World Series. No one is keeping me out of the World Series

The Doggie previews the World Series matchup between the Texas Rangers and Arizona Diamondbacks and because these are "flawed" teams, this has a chance to be a very competitive series.

The Doggie returns after a very, very brief "retirement" and explains how this all happened.

I feel for @partylikearochkind but @astros fans leaving in the 6th inning of a #game7 hurts. 2019 all over again lose 4 in a row at home.  Though you were 39-42 @minutemaidpark this #mlb season.  Need a new #manager too.  #dustybaker reportedly done.  
#bobmelvin not available & @makiaris @padres let go of another good skipper. @sfgiants gain is the #padres loss.  Maybe #ajpreller needs to have a change of scenery.  First Game 7 ever tonight in @phillies franchise history.  Can’t lay an egg tonight like they did vs @dbacks last night. 
 #mnf @49ers got outplayed by @vikings & #kirkcousins got his #top10 chain after the win.  
Lot of bashing @umichfootball but why would #connorstalions purchase tickets for 11 games using his own credit card?  If you’re stealing signs I would think it would be a clandestine operation.  Now @ohiostatefb will go with the argument they were beaten unfairly the last two years.  Just going to have to beat them three straight.  
@huskervb outdrew @huskerfootball on @bigtennetwork better product. 
 8 months of #nba starting tonight.  Look forward to @nuggets beating up on @lakers all season long.  
RIP @georgetownwbb coach #tashabutts #cancersucks 
Keep putting #pridetape on your #hockey stick @arizonacoyotes @travisdermott it’s a great cause.

In this episode CJ and Spilly breakdown the critical and awful call in the Rangers - White Sox game at home plate. Gerrit Cole has no patience for nonsense vs. the Mariners as sparks fly in the Bronx. 

The Book of Joe Podcast begins with the Phillies and Astros in the World Series. Hosts Tom Verducci and World Series Champion Joe Maddon discuss the mentality of both teams and how different they are.  Joe likes the Philly 'vibe' right now and Tom thinks they're a club that's playing with very little pressure after making the postseason.  Bryce Harper's home run was a historic moment for him and Tom walks us through how it happened. Joe explains why manager needs to 'play' through the game before it even happens to know what he's doing in every situation. Looking back at the Yankees season, it's easy to say what needs to be different but you can't just change a team's identity in one series. Find out what Joe says isn't just 'nearly impossible' but just impossible for a team to do. Now we're ready for the games, Joe recalls managing Kyle Schwarber and reveals the impact the outfielder can have on a team and even a teammate like Bryce Harper. Bruce Bochy is back in the game and Tom wonders what it would take for Joe to return to the dugout. We wrap up with Bruce Springsteen and Tom's favorite selection from The Boss.
