'RED STATE' POLL: KAMALA BY SEVEN - 8.27.24 | Countdown with Keith Olbermann

SERIES 3 EPISODE 16: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN

A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: The full Reichstag-Fire-level propaganda site Red State may have commissioned, certainly got first access, to a poll showing Kamala Harris leading Trump 52 to 45 among LIKELY voters, and 50 to 46 percent among REGISTERED voters. It’s OUTSIDE the margin of error according to the head of the firm, which is SO right wing that the pollster’s pinned tweet is about how in 2011 he predicted a Trump presidency. They also did favorability scores and claim Harris is at 50-50 and Trump only eleven points underwater. “The biggest factor helping Harris is how she has neutralized the immigration issue. In both polls, immigration was the fourth most important issue, or rather – only 10 percent told us it was their number one.”

Also on polling, the weekly update from Morning Consult has shown no Convention Bump for Harris, or maybe just a continuation of the previous bumps – unchanged at Harris 48 Trump 44. But there ARE signs of… a Tim Walz bump. His favorability was at 39 percent and plus three before the convention; it is 42 percent and now plus SIX after it.

SOLUTION: MUTE HIS MIC THROUGHOUT THE DEBATE: Trump is back to trying to back out of the presidential debate and he’s not even doing it well and the American political media is, as always, astonished. As soon as Harris replaced Biden he claimed all agreements were off, now he is enraged she wants the mikes always open not muted, not because he objects to the mikes not being muted, but because she wants it. Let me summarize this: he is trying to back out of the debate. He is hoping to be able to back out and blame her. He did this with Biden too. He is using as an excuse an objection to something he agrees with. What is Harris doing? Harris, bluntly, is EFFING with him. The Harris team has already proven to be the most successful anti-Trump entity in the fertile field of EFFING with him.

MORE MEDIA MADNESS: CNN interviews eight "undecided" voters after Harris's acceptance speech. Except one of them told them in advance he was voting for Trump. Chris Cillizza tops himself. And the Times' latest self-destructive Op-Ed? "Trump Can Win On Character," written by the guy who followed the 2008 Vice Presidential Debate with the infamous masturbatory column about Sarah Palin.

B-Block (25:33) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The Covfefe of 2024 as DonOld shows more evidence of mini-strokes. Andrea Tantaros compares Harris's appearance to...Hitler's "manscaping." And Jason Miller mocks a Kamala TV political surrogate as so old he should be in a rest home. The guy is 18 months YOUNGER than Trump.

C-Block (32:25) SPORTS FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE SPORTS/THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: The former ESPN Big Show SportsCenter producer who went on to run ESPN, is succeeded by the guy who succeeded him AS the ESPN Big Show SportsCenter producer. Turns out the death of WCBS NewsRadio in New York was largely my fault. And I've found another cassette, so if you want to hear the day I was first paid to do the news (July 25, 1980, WNEW Radio, New York) you're in luck.

“Countdown With Keith Olbermann,” the landmark news and commentary program that reordered the world of cable news, returns as a daily podcast. Olbermann’s daily news-driven mix will include his trademark “Special Comment” political analysis, the tongue-in-cheek “Worst Persons In The World” segment, and his timeless readings from the works of the immortal James Thurber. The man who turned SportsCenter into a cultural phenomenon will broaden the content to include a daily sports segment, a daily call for help for a suffering dog, and a remarkable series of anecdotes covering a career that stretched from covering the 1980 Olympic Miracle on Ice a month after his 21st birthday, to anchoring the 2009 Presidential Inauguration and the 2009 Super Bowl pre-game show in a span of just twelve days, to rejoining ESPN as a “rookie” baseball play-by-play man at the age of 59.

New episodes weekly on iHeartRadio.

[carroll]

Oh my God…. the dramatic reading of the Rich Lowry’s Palin Winked At Me piece.

I’m dead.

[jeanethscott]

Keith you always make my day you was the best when you were on MSNBC the best journalist who not afraid to tells it like it is glad I found you a months ago and you are one of my go to on YouTube

[randyholt]

The Dow closed at I remember those days.... That's why I love listening to you Keith, you cover current news but you also go back in the past and pull forgotten memories from my head and I love it !!!!

[waterandafter]

Let's do this right.
Make sure we give Harris a blue Congress too.

[stevereber]

One of my favorite doonesberry strips started with a disembodied voice "Peter Jennings is on assignment, Leslie is on vacation, Robert smith is out sick, my name is Carlos and I work in the mailroom, here's the news..."

[Sassye]

And a star (Keith Olbermann) was born! Thank you for the memories.

[hermionegardener]

A president should have character, not be one.

[ckSport]

Country before Party! Curtis, 57, retired Navy and former Reagan republican.. now NEVER TRUMPER.
Harris for Democracy and decency.

[heatherallingham]

I grew up in the 60s and remember when news was purely news. Love your vintage broadcasts...they're sweetly nostalgic

[vydel]

I genuinely love your stories! 💙 20 yr old you was quite the professional! You sound like a seasoned newscaster! Now, you're a quick-witted and riveting storyteller.

[bmwloco]

0515 Dog walk. Coffee and Olbermann speaking plainly and clearly. What a way to start the day!

[thomash.larsen]

Hillary was also leading in 16
Register and go out and vote

[bjammin]

You sounded great as a 20-year old, Keith. Born to do it.

[louisapurcell]

Chicken Little Bonespurs is crying ‘the sky is falling, the sky is falling…and nobody is listening.

[jbarnes]

He has a disdain, and comtempt for Women, as proven by how he treated his dead Wife, by burying her on the back 9 of one of his Golf courses, not an honorable Funeral. It showed how little he thought of her, and how cheap he is, when it comes to others. Remember he beat his own Siblings out of their inheritance.

[nobodyaskedbut]

In a half century of voting I have never registered as a member of any party & I have never even once voted for a republican & never will. Vote BLUE up & down the ballot in November.

[LordZontar]

Wow. Listening to those Keith Olbermann broadcasts from 1980 is a reminder of how radio used to be great. WKRP In Cincinnati was airing on CBS then as well. And, sadly, that was also around the time when radio's greatness was coming to an end, beginning with the first stations going to robot radio then.

[Machistmo]

George Conway has so pissed off Trump that his campaign is now buying ad time just around Mar-a-Lago on fox news that flatters Trump to shut him up about George Conways ads.

[amfanmagician]

Thank you, Keith, that was most enjoyable. Listened to stations in other cities for many years including WNEW 1130 and WCBS 880.
