KAMALOT! SHE'S UP BY ONE; NET APPROVAL RATING IS PLUS-4 - 7.30.24 | Countdown with Keith Olbermann

SERIES 2 EPISODE 221: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN

A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Looks like you can build a couple new towers and an extra moat at Kamalot: Morning Consult poll, which Trump still led a week ago today 47 to 45, now shows Vice President Harris AHEAD 47 to 46 and yes it is all within the margin of error; nevertheless it is a 3-point swing in ONE WEEK.

Just as importantly: FIFTY PERCENT of voters in that poll view her favorably, 46 percent unfavorably, that’s a net of +4 and in our fractured landscape that is landslide territory and nothing Biden OR Trump achieved. As Morning Consult notes her popularity score swung by twelve points since last week, driven mostly by… INDEPENDENTS. A week ago 31 percent of INDEPENDENTS viewed her favorably and now it’s 48% percent.

Kamala Harris is also killing it in the stodgier polls. FOX surveyed four swing states. Harris up by six in Minnesota. They’re TIED in Michigan and Pennsylvania. She trails by a point in Wisconsin. The new Wall Street Journal Poll: she's cut Trump's lead from six to two Harris 47.

In short, there’s simply not a more CONGENIAL spot. For happily-ever-after-ing than here in Camelot.

MEANWHILE TRUMP (WITH A NET FAVORABLE OF -16)? Of COURSE he meant if Christians voted for him now they wouldn’t have to vote again in 2028 BECAUSE he meant there wouldn’t BE elections - or maybe even more likely, there wouldn’t be elections in 2028 that HE COULD LOSE. There are a lot of reasons we can be certain of this, the easiest of which is that we all UNDERSTAND that he is running because if he doesn’t win the 2024 election and go to the WHITE HOUSE, he instead WILL go to prison, and he WILL die there. And if that is true in 2024 – guess what – it would ALSO be TRUE in 2028.

B-Block (26:40) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: RFK says he was rambunctious so yeah there may be more sexual assault charges. A woman named Amy Vandersteel thinks 0.4% is forty percent. And right wing nut job Bill Mitchell explains there's a replacement Joe Biden who is four inches taller and deliberately tanked the debate so the Democrats could complete their intricate scheme to get him out and Kamala in I WISH.

C-Block (36:20) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: MSNBC didn't make a big deal about it but they just hit their 28th anniversary on the air, and what I believe is the 19th anniversary of the day they fired Rachel Maddow, before I hired her back out of my own pocket.

Original Air Date: July 30, 2024

[traceypatis]

Rachel Maddow reads a teleprompter like someone telling a story to a close friend. Trump reads a teleprompter like a guy who needs
glasses at a doctors office reading an.
eye chart!

[deechvogt]

Good morning, good aftenoon, good evening, good night, and good luck, KO Fans!

[sgm]

Time for the traitors in Congress to start falling from their high horses. 😂💙

"It's almost impossible to believe Trump exists. It's as if we took everything that was bad about America, scraped it up off the floor, wrapped it all up in an old hot dog skin, and then taught it to make noises with its face." - Anthony Citrano

[salva_]

Hearing you mutter 'he's nuts' absolutely sent me. KEITH I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!

[Maggiecerminara]

Good morning Keith. Love the tat! He's leaping!

[sueperb]

Corporate media's inability to follow up, press issues, and fact check show severe cognitive decline, and they should step down for the good of the nation.

[shellymartin]

I needed a Keith fix and here you are. God is good. 💋

[MsMak]

Missed you!! Glad you're back. much has happened.

[traceypatis]

Trump once said that a dictator once told him that it is not about how many people vote for you, but who counts the votes.
Look into Trump planting election officials at the swing states’ small counties’ not certifying the votes in their county to cause delays

[rjsheffer]

I like that his fondness and respect for Rachel maddow is palpable... That puts two of my favorite people in a space that makes my world a better place.

[karlrenaut]

Keith: "Numbers that make your ears bleed."
Me, a math nerd: "Don't threaten me with a good time."

[earlclue]
