Episode #122 of the Countdown podcast is up.

ALTERNATE LINK (which also links to his previous podcasts)

A-Block

(1:29) SPECIAL COMMENT: Watch the video of the torture and murder of Tyre Nichols by the Memphis police, and read what they first claimed had happened to him, and the unmistakable truth is confirmed anew: We are all hostages to the police. More directly, more urgently, more fatally — for people of color. But all the rest of us, too. Police who kill other than as a last, unavoidable act to protect the community are no longer police for any of us, and if they can be trained to kill because of race, they can be trained to kill because of politics, or sexual orientation, or because of whoever those who trained them want them to kill.

B-Block

(20:14) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Olive, the mini-pug, in Levin, NJ and on Outcast Rescue and Cuddly.

(21:38) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: A motive for FBI election tamperer Charles McGonigal: he was leading a double life; Trump’s impenetrable domes and binoculars; David DePape confesses; the ratings of CNN and MSNBC crash and burn but thank god NBC didn’t have to deal with the controversy of bringing me back!

CHRIS LICHT EATS PASTE!!!

(27:01) IN SPORTS: White Sox retain Benetti, Super Bowl set on the dumbest penalty in years, Pride Night without the Pride or the explanation.

(30:59) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: THE Associated Press insults THE French, General Ripper rides again, and the vapid CNN host (Michael Smerconish) who says the Memphis police didn’t murder Tyre Nichols.

C-Block

(38:22) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: On the subject of the cratering of cable news, did I ever tell you how Lawrence O’Donnell tried to take Countdown away from me while I was taking care of my dying father? Or how he stole two of my senior producers to run his new show? Or how he leaked a personal letter of mine to Ann Coulter? Or how his ratings are now down below where MSNBC’s were in 2003?

Well, that’s all the damage for now. Good morning, good afternoon, good night, and good luck.
