OH BTW - WE'RE AT WAR WITH CHINA - 9.14.26
Summary
Keith Olbermann argues that China is effectively at war with the US by providing Iran with satellite data that led to American troop deaths, while Russia threatens NATO borders. He criticizes Trump’s failed Iran strategy, his inflammatory comments on Irish reunification, and the $5,000 voter bribe scheme, noting that disaffected Trump voters staying home is hurting the GOP. The episode also covers the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool’s contractor admitting to faulty workmanship and Olbermann’s dream about his late colleague Tim Russert.
