Episode Date: February 11, 2026

Rough day for the ReichsUnterFuhrer.  More, please. 

The password is mortal. Here we go. Live from behind the corn phone curtain. It's head-on with Roxanne Kincaid. Three hours of cussin and discussing with America's only liberal transvilly elitist right here, right now, on the head-on radio network.

Brought to you in part by Cole River Mountain Watch, who invites you to be part of the uprising against mountaintop removal, CRMW. and now from high in the hills of west by god virginia here she is roxan kincaid well howdy and here we go off and running on this tenth day of february two thousand twenty six this is the horn head on dot live is where you'll find us on the interweb tubes that's where you go if you'd like to be part of the merry wacky zany real-time madcat multimedia extravaganza that is the horn chat room

in the three hours in which this program is live, Monday through Friday, 5 to 8 p.m., Eastern Standard Time. Only a couple of more weeks of having to say standard time. Then we get back to normal. I know. City in Illinois, setting on a dryer. Right. But, yeah, Monday through Friday, 5 to 8, 2 to 5, whatever time it is when you're listening to the podcast. And if you remember the podcast and contention of the Horn family community congregation,

Well, first of all, say a big howdy and thank you to Brother Deacon Asa, who got the program loaded, uploaded yesterday evening. Thank you very kindly, Camel Cardinal. Much appreciated because your humble hostess. Well, she forgot to hit the record button yesterday. But I did hit the record button today. I know where all my little devices are and everything's set up and ready to roll. Well, it is now. I know I was late again.

Please don't give me hell. I was late because am I the only one who despises Windows 11? Because I do. We had some technical difficulties in yesterday's program. So this time I decided I would start a brand new fresh boot everything. And I'm happy to say it appears that everything works, but when I shut the laptop down

and went to start it back up at about 10 minutes until 5, well, it wouldn't start. Press the power button, nothing, bupkus. We wound up having to unplug every blessed thing that's plugged into it, the Ethernet cable, the power cable, the USB that connects it to the Road ProCaster 2, a couple of dongles and an external hard drive. And then it finally started again. And then I had to plug everything back up, plug the power back in, and we are, in fact,

plugged up in charging, so that's good. So I'm here. I don't know what it makes it go to sleep that way. Maybe it's the, maybe it's the Knuton valve misaligning with the Usha. You never know. But hi, I'm Roxanne, and if you are listening live, well, pop on over to the aforementioned Mary Wacky Zaney,

where Darrell and Houston and Ralphs are holding forth. Ron was there a little bit ago and of course everyone is capably moderated by Horn Chief Agronomist Chief Mathematician Bud Trimmer Emeritus Zimmergist extraordinaire and

stuffed pepper creator genius Roger in Oregon Hi Roger Hi gang And well we'll

Sorry about the little diatribe about when this laptop does it sometimes and and there's no rhyme or reason to it and it's just as the hip kids say annoying a f but every program here at the horn begins with gratitude and this program is no different so thanks go out to our 10th day of the month PayPal subscribers and contributors that means thanks ever so kindly to Joe and thanks to Smitty and thanks as well well that's that's it that's it thank you very kindly for being partial sponsors of the program i thought there was one more person in there but i was wrong but thank you very kindly the fundraising goal is it fifteen hundred dollars that's um five full unfunded days of broadcasting that's today

yesterday, Friday, Thursday, and Wednesday. And I think there's a little bit of a two Monday left over, too. But there are two challenges still on the table from yesterday, namely Stephen almost, well, Stephen Columbus's $10 challenge and Ralph's $25 challenge. Thank you both for that.

I knew it would draw a comment. Lee in New York. Daylight Savings Time. Saving daylight is normal? A radio host in my area mocks daylight saving time by people thinking that they can get more daylight by changing the time on our clocks. He recommends getting five-gallon water bottles covering in reflective tape to capture the sunlight for the dark winter days. Yeah, I know. There's that old indigenous saying, only a white man would think you could cut the bottom off a blanket and sew it to the top of the blanket and have more blanket. But nonetheless, I do like the days where you get a little more daylight at the end of the day instead of at the beginning of the day when, you know, I'm not awake to enjoy it.

I'm a night owl. What can I say? But today, well, for as long as I've lived in Appalachia, which is most of my life, I've noticed that every winter there will be, and it usually happens in the, you know, and it usually happens in the. the last half of January or the first half of February, there's one magic day. One magic, warm, bluebird, blue sky day. And today was that day. We got up to 60. Still plenty of snow on the ground. But I knew it was that day when I was coming back from taking Victoria to work and driving through the little neighborhoods here, I saw a fella out in his yard wearing, you know, gym shorts, you know, the long ones that come down to close your knees, and a sleeveless top,

and he was shoveling snow. Yep, yep, this is that day, though it certainly is. I popped by the local and incredibly convenient Aldi, unpaid product placement, love Aldi, where I saw a couple of women walking around in shorts. And it was like, yep, here we are. But look, don't get too excited. It's not going to last. So, yeah, we got 60 today.

And a week from Thursday, low of 46 and a high of 66. Stop it, Roxanne. You're not the weather girl. But no, today it was nice. And where I'd scattered salt, the ice is melted, especially in front of our doorway. Because there was a little mini glacier there that had me, every time I looked at it, it was like, there's a broken hip in that. so it's clear

and a few more days of this warmth and it'll be like it never snowed once that billable wreck Roxanne stop telling us that we're going to hate you because you're late did you forget to check the canuton valve you said that just as I was typing that word the horn hive mind goes on and on

Windows 11 Flavio says it's still Windows the last Windows I had was Windows XP. I gave up Windows in 2007 and never looked back. I use Linux Mint Debian edition. I don't have time to learn an entire new operating system, and God only knows where I would find the streaming software for it. Flavio says if you don't trust Linux, he might consider getting Macintosh ever since Mac OS10.

It uses Unix on which Linux is based. And I hear people like Macs, but it's proprietary, and Tim Apple. Apple, I mean, Cook, was the guy that gifted Trump that gold statuette. So still glad I don't use any of those products. Ugh, yours ever, Flavia. Well, for starters, I mean, I love Apple products. I love my iPad. I love my iPhone.

It's just the easy. But it doesn't extend to computing, you know, actual, you know, machine in front of me computing because of what I call the Apple tax. the laptop that I'm using here would cost probably three times as much in a MacBook Pro or a Macintosh. So that's kind of out. Yeah. Just checking to see if. No.

Okay. Randy Radar told me there's a new news channel called Raw America, Tom Hartford. Hartman's on there. I imagine that's an offshoot of Raw Story. Bless their hearts, they've been around as long as we have. And I think Tom has a long-standing relationship with Raw Story. They publish his op-eds and tuck them away behind a paywall. But anyway, yeah, thanks for that, Randy. Now, as to, this is so gross. That's not. Best of luck to Gene and Ann, News Ninja Gene. Anne's due home from hospital tomorrow.

We both had neurovirus. Yuck. Y'all stay healthy. Please try harder. And please give our best to Ms. Ann. You too. And so both of those challenges, Steve's and Ralphses are met. and that that actually gets us down to 1430 and I don't have my brown paper bag or my little ballpoint pen so I'm having to do this all in my head

that's never a good sign but we are we're down to 1430 and we've got a fighting chance that I don't know maybe knocking out of days funding if we could pretty please but as to the password sometimes you see something and it just it breaks your heart down in takes ass this is that's who they are police in prosper Texas no idea where it is are investigating the shooting of a woman named lucy harrison and it's kind of a cold case because it goes back to january 2025 um she was british lucy harrison was and witnesses at the inquest well one of was her boyfriend, Lucy Harrison's boyfriend, Sam Littler, who told an inquest over on the Septred Isle that Lucy had a big tiff with her father, a guy named Chris Harrison, about, come on,

here we are, about Canckel's Collegula. She'd flown all the way to Texas. to see her daddy and they had an argument and she asked her maggot daddy how would you feel if i was the girl in that situation and i'd been sexually assaulted her father responded chris harrison well he responded i have two other daughters who live with me so it wouldn't upset me that much at that Miss Lucy went upstairs because she was distraught, and her boyfriend said, I remember running into the room, and Lucy was lying on the floor near the entrance to the bathroom, and her father was just screaming just sort of nonsense. Dad said he had gone upstairs to, you know, after this brazen, disgusting insult, and he did say that he had had about a half a liter of one. so he may have been in the bag, but he'd done moved to take, sass,

so of course he went and bought a good for a sense of security. He said, as I lifted the gun to show her, I suddenly heard a loud bang. I did not understand what had happened. Lucy immediately fell. Sure.

I'm sure that's exactly how it happened. He was just going to show her the gun, and blew her away instead. Merca, greatest country in the history of the world on earth now today, forever in the universe under God, amen. And, of course, as we've noted on this program from time to time, the gun just went off. The gun can't just go off if there's not around in the chamber.

I wonder what kind of gun it was. Is it a semi-automatic? a wheel gun maybe maybe since he was trying to fish in with the coach yeah maybe he bought himself an AR-15 don't know just don't know and Prosper Texas according to Ralph's serving as the horn ad hoc Prosper Texas Research Department says it's somewhere north of Dallas Okay dokey then. So let's see. Dad becomes a maggot.

Moves to take sass because they got the freedoms. Daughter comes to visit. Dad blows daughter away. Meanwhile, in Prosper, Texas, ain't nothing happened. Well, you know, only not... Well, look, what did that noted American martyr of the White Wing say about situations like that? Sometimes you're just going to have some random shootings, and that's worth it to have the Second Amendment. Of course, most of us realize now that Charles James Kirk was wrong by a long shot.

No, Ralph's, the asshole, has not been charged. He has not in the least. And since we touched on Charles James Kirk, well, we didn't touch on it. Oh, gross. But since I brought up his name, that, of course, infers his organization, Toilet Paper USA. And the headliner of their pitiable halftime show, namely Bob Ritchie, who sings songs about, I mean, if you can call it singing, about wanting to have sex with underage girls

and pretty obviously was lip-syncing his ass off at the at the Toilet Paper USA show is now declining or not decline is now claiming that no he did not lip-sink after all because well and by the way it wasn't live it was pre-taped i've seen some video of it and god it's pathetic

but he showed up on uh box news tv radio rwanda yesterday where he said that uh what it is super easy to sink it up if vocal if the vocals were pre-recorded it was very difficult for the turning point production crew who by the way i can't say enough good things about But this was very difficult for them. So, yeah, he can't say enough good things about them because there aren't that many good things to say about them. They're apparently incompetent. And he went on to say, I'm jumping around stage like a rabid monkey rapping my song and I'm taking breaths and my DJs filling in the other parts of it. I even told them when I saw the rough cut, I was like, you guys got to work on that sink.

It's off. So it was just a sinking issue that they had. And I know they tried to get it right. It was very difficult. So let's see. Bad Bunny worked live. Bob Richie, who was neither a kid nor a rock, couldn't work live. And the viewership for it is still minuscule compared to the halftime show at the actual Super Bowl.

And so when the goons at Fox asked him to critique them. Bad Bunny's performance, who was not jumping around like a little dipshit. He said, like most people, I didn't understand any of it. I saw there's a lot of dancers. He said he wanted to have a dance party, and it looks like you had one. Bad Bunny's just not my cup of tea. I don't fault him for doing the Super Bowl getting in front of a global audience. I fought the NFL for putting him in that position and turning,

point for having to come out and having alternative for people to watch. You know, it's just poor kid. Save your sympathy, Bob. He's beloved around the world and, well, you're a piece of white trash who sings about wanting to have sex with little girls. I know in whose company I would rather be. And you know what? Saying you didn't understand any of it,

That's not the flex that Bob thinks it is. It's like he's proud to be barely monolingual. Hey, Bob Ritchie, quick. What's it, Jaron? No, no answer? Hey, Bob, what's a dependent clause? Anything? No?

Hmm, how about that? Yeah, but, well, and this is a free one. There's no challenge on the table. anything but you know fuck bob wretchie although not really jesus only god only knows what you might catch really one 60 degree day and there's and and and the sneezing is back yeah okay well thank you for that it thank you very kindly a rim shot courtesy of bill will rick for charles james kirk was wrong by a long shot i'll take it but since we can't seem to get over the Super Bowl half-time show. Oh, the vapidity. Well, now, the maggots in the house,

anything to, please, they're up there. Do you think it'll, it'll, it'll, uh, do you think it'll, uh, do you think it'll distract from our little, our great big Epstein problem? Well, a couple of maggots, one being Mark Alford of Missouri stand, the other being, Randy Fine, who is anything but, from Flora Dostan, are going to investigate bad bunny because it was a disgustin display. Yeah, they showed up on, or Alfred did, showed up on real America's voice this morning to decry the assault on American family values of a guy who was singing in a language that was spoken in North America, every bit of 100 years before it was, before English was.

Not saying. Just saying. Let's shift over to the bad bunny, bad performance of the Super Bowl halftime. We are still investigating this. There's a lot of information that has come out about the lyrics. I saw the halftime show and was switching back and forth with the TPUSA half-time show. He had to work in the switching back and forth part there because apparently all the maggots were watching Bad Bunny. You blame him?

I'm switching back and forth. But I don't speak. I don't speak no Spanish. The lyrics from what we have seen from Bad Bunny are very disturbing. And if it holds true that, you know, I don't speak fluent Spanish, okay? I know how to ask. You don't speak fluent Spanish? Dude.

Donde estal of little girls. Where the bathroom is, but these lyrics, if it is true, what was said on, national television, we have a lot of questions for the entities that broadcast this, and we'll be talking with Brendan Carr from the SEC about this. But this is... Yeah, they ran tattling to Brendan Carr, the little fascist over at the FCC. Uh-huh. Sure you did. this could be much worse than the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction let's put it that way

Jesus not the nipple o doom what shall we tell the children you know this program just turned 22 years old and that was one of the first great controversies that i got to address on the brand new horn back then was the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction. And God back then, the maggots were absolutely, well, I mean, they were just, they were, they were loyal bushy's back then. But they were apoplectic. My little boy's seen a, seen a nipple on TV. I wonder what he's seen in your skin mags there, loyal bushy. Of course, it's worth remembering that back then when they were having a connoption over Janet Jackson's nipple,

a bunch of them were running around with Jeffrey Epstein and seeing a lot more than nipples and seeing them that belonged to sex trafficked underage girls. At least that was a malfunction. I mean, this was apparently intentional. This was intentional, yes. And they could not have said this word in English. So just the fact that we're at a place in our... What do they think he said?

They could not have said this if it had been said in... You know, like Telemundo or one of the Spanish language channels was broadcasting it, too. Did they just bleep all over it? I haven't seen any news reports of massive bleeping on the Spanish language networks. No? You know what they're really mad about, right? They're mad that there was, well, if you recall, they threw a coneption over Beyonce a few years ago with her Black Panther themed dance crew and costumes. Oh, these maggots are such dainty, delicate, snowflakey, white people. but the thing that and I saw it

it was just a flash on the screen but it made me smile because there were a couple of dudes dancing together like yeah it's San Francisco it would have been weird if they hadn't been

and that goes hand in hand with my gratitude for the trans pride colors in the NFL logo too there so I have a feeling it'll be a while before the Bay Area gets the Super Bowl again. I see, no Minneapolis, no San Francisco, no, no Seattle. I reckon L.A. is out. Maybe Toilet Paper USA could post the Super Bowl at a small county football field somewhere in the middle of Idaho or something.

God, these clowns are a constant source of hilarious. Our country where we had a fully not understandable half-time show to English-speaking people, which is the language of this. No, a fully not understandable, the word you're looking for there, honey, is incomprehensible. Half-time show to English-speaking people. No, there were plenty of English-speaking people who understood every word because they also speak Spanish. You know, bilingual. Some people are trilingual. God only knows how many languages Flavio speaks. At last check, I think we've got English, Portuguese, Italian, Spanish, some French. Who knows, there may be a bit of German in there, too. Flavio has a facility for languages.

But she was about to say something about how English is the something of something else. Let's get that queued up so that we can get the full measure of her dipsittery. There we go. People, which is the language of this country, by the way, and that is... No, it's not. We don't have an official language in this country because that would be dumb. because, well, hundreds, if not thousands of indigenous languages were spoken here before the first unwashed white colonizer covered in diseases arrived on these shores. Before that crook, Christophoro Colombo, kidnapped and raped his first indigenous girl.

And, of course, he was speaking Italian. His crew of criminals were probably speaking maybe Spanish, maybe some Portuguese. Yeah. And English wouldn't be spoken here. Well, and then, you know, long before Columbus, of course, there was whatever that early Scandinavian tongue was spoken on this kind. continent. And you don't have anybody really speaking English much at all until 1607. I think, I think, I think, I think, I think Swedish was being spoken in Delaware, Delaware before then. Delaware? Really, Roxanne?

It is that grotesque is, it's just really disturbing. And here's the ironic part, Dr. Gina. Yeah. The NFL purposely won. Wait, she's a doctor. That's Dr. Gina. That is not the Gina to whom we dedicate every program, by the way. Wanted a Hispanic star basically to perform at halftime because they're trying to attract more of a Latin America audience. Yeah, I mean that you mean marketing? I mean, there were clips during the pregame of people watching in pubs and bars and what have you all over the world. I know, I know, Fabio said, good board, the wardrobe malfunction? That was 22 years ago.

God, I feel old. Good times. Seriously, if we ever get a serious FCC, they would go after Fox News, O-A-N, et cetera, for sewing discord and incitement. And just by way of showing off, Flavio says, In Dante's Inferno, the sowers of discord in Canto, 28 are punished in the ninth Bolgia, Bulgia ditch of the eighth circle,

reserved for those who promoted religious, political, or familial schism. They are eternally mutilated by a demon with a sword, healing only to be hacked apart again. The punishment reflects their sin of splitting people apart. That Dante, he had a, I wonder, sometimes I wonder if that was a healthy imagination or a lot of axes to grind. Lee in New York can't understand the words.

Oh, poor baby, you didn't know the words. The Bible's something you think you understand. It wasn't written in English. I heard POTUS. He's not understandable many times, signed Lee, in former New Amsterdam, where they spoke. Dutch, yeah, I left out the Dutch and the French. the Portuguese They think they understand the Bible

That's one of those Morgan Freeman narrative They did not They did not actually Understand the Bible What they deliver Yeah Trying to pull them away from the football

That they call That we call soccer Right Yeah I don't think this was a good move though Maybe check the words before that you let him sing the song Congressman Mark Alford, though, always on top of it. Thank you so much for being here. Well, shipped over to the, you know, always on top of something or someone.

So they're going to use American taxpayer dollars to investigate the lyrical content of bad bunny. If we had such a concept, that would actually be political malpractice. But we don't. and they think that it still plays with the wool hat crowd, so lots of luck. Flavio's languages. My native language is Portuguese. I subsequently learned English. Then in high school, I picked up French, and in college, French, and Spanish, I have a double major in French and Spanish.

I later learned Italian, but my grandfather was Italian and always wrote and spoke to me in Italian, so I knew how to read it before I spoke it. In high school, I took a year of German, but I never got to hang of German. that syntax subject object verb is murder ugh well yeah none other than mr twain commented on that no wonder the wonder they have the problems they have twain observed in german you have to listen to the whole sentence before you find out what to do about it at the very end funny thing is that's also latinate structure verbs at the end but yeah the word order is maddening and let's see Carl

in Phoenix says West Coast Hornin Ooh did you say West Coast Hornin Oh yes please if you do that I'm in Any excuse to travel to California or Oregon I'll take Oh it was filthy LOL says Tamara

But in a good way Didn't Justin Bieber just dance around And his skivies on the Grammys? Oh yeah And then I mean that was quite the dress that Chapel Rhone wore. And from Michael, what about the children? These maggots, and they're in their Reverend Lovejoy's wife's voice,

what about the children? And yet here we are covering up the names of those men who visited Epstein Island, nothing to see here, folks, while the likes of Mango Mussolini and the Sultan from Dubai, diddle teenage girls the world we live in while other countries are calling these men out the u.s republicans and maggots are like oh look a squirrel what children i know it's disgusting and uh tamara adds lyrics were garbled no one heard it i cannot emphasize enough what he's singing here obscured by beeps is if your boyfriend doesn't eat your ass he'd better fuck off and uh the theme

your Perejo Sola is an anthem Tamara says about women's rights to throw ass in the club without men creeping on them. Well, good for bad bunny then. Women should be able to dance without men being disgusting. And as two dependent clauses mentioned a little bit ago, Lee in New York says maggots know what it is. It's a clause that has not reached 18. Well, Lee, here you go. That was good. The llama is grinning from ear to ear.

And if you've ever seen a llama, that's saying something. Billable Rick tells us, L.A. has the Super Bowl next year at Sofi Stadium. By the way, what was the offensive Spanish language that Bad Bunny said during his performance? Those butt-hurt maggots are always fucking whining. Get a life, you maggots. Here, here. Okay, this is an interesting question. from Randy Radar.

I've been pondering. Why did the intelligence community supposedly do in JFK when it now tolerates President Drumpf who's also trying to derail them? I've been following John Kiriaku on Substack or the algorithm provided it for me.

And he claims that the intelligence community plans on surviving the terms of any president and keeps on operating. Using backward chaining, the symptoms may be that remotely possibly President Drumpf may be an off-ramp to surrender if our military-grade AI doesn't beat the Chinese military-grade AI, and then the surrender would just look like a continuation of American politics.

I think the Chinese are a more serious threat than the Russians are. Well, I still think that anybody who puts a great deal of faith in AI will ultimately be grievously disappointed. I mean, we already know that the Israelis were using AI to target people, and that's how members of Chef Jose Andres' crew from World Central Kitchen got murdered by our partners in peace. But who knows what the problems are inside our intel community? There have always been holes. There have always been leaks. There have always been moles. There's always been moles. There's always been double agents because after all it's spycraft but you know it's not randy radar it's not it's not by any stretch of the imagination a sure thing that the intelligence community did in

jfk there were a lot of people who wanted him dead you know among others the mob oh and uh talk about political malpractice um ralps is putting up another twenty five dollar challenge just to try to get us maybe down below 1,400 bucks before it goes up again. Thank you, Ralph. J.D. Vance can't go to the Olympics without his motorcade of at least 45 emotional support vehicles. Yeah. They've been videoing over in Milan.

They've been videoing his motorcade. And he has such an entourage that some of the Olympic athletes have damn near been late getting to their, or been late, getting to their events because, well, it's all about the JDag. There are something on the order of at least 45 different vehicles. Well, you know, his drag wardrobe alone probably takes up one. God knows where they've stuffed Usha and the children. Let's see, 17 Yamaha Tracer 7 motorcycles,

one BMW F700GS motorcycle, nine Alpha Romeo Stelvio's, one Ford Transit, nine Chevy Suburbanes, one T6 Volkswagen transporter, four Mercedes-Benz metris vans, one Land Rover, one Ford F-Series armored-looking truck, possibly a SWAT-style carrier vehicle, and one Toyota Land Cruiser. What an odd assemblage. The folks over there at Enterprise must have really had to scramble for some of those. Enterprise, they'll pick you up along with ice.

They're also desperately, the Jimmy Dick Bowman gang, desperately trying to push back against reports that they carried an entire plain load of boring American food to Italy. Italy! You know, can you imagine? He claims to be a hillbilly. He isn't. But I would glad, you know, if I were able to leave the United States, making sure that I had some you know what maybe

maybe it was daddy's doing hey D I don't want you to go hungry over there I'm sending you a plane load of Big Macs and Taco Bowls good American food you don't want to eat that communist shit they eat over there in Italy so thanks thanks for the story Ralphs

Jesus of course they got nice furniture over there I hope they they don't have to burn the couch and wherever the residence is that he's staying. And from Darrell in Houston, the CIA and intelligence establishment Eisenhower's military industrial complex had to murder JFK because he was determined to abolish the CIA root and branch. Mob is just a convenient red herring. They had the ability to carry up the deed but had zero ability to cover up the assassination. Maybe they worked together. That's the problem. Everything was nicely obfuscated from the moment the shots rang out. But, yeah, he did say things like he'd like to dismantle the CIA root and branch. So too did Harry Truman. And, well, at least Harry lived up into the 1970s. I remember how distraught my father was when give them hell hairy

passed away and from Billville Rick the variety of vehicles in J.D.'s entourage sounds like the 12 days of Christmas. Yeah, okay. Food to Italy. Lee and New York asks,

how much do you want to bet it included pasta? That's American food. It's the fact that the Italians brought pasta to America is fake news. Then who brought it? God, it just makes sure. head hurt doesn't it and while this is not earth-shattering or anything it is

it's another indication of just how shattered our norms are we have an organization in this country made up of all all the governors of the several states and I bet even the territories are involved it's called a national governors association well they're supposed to have have their annual meeting in Washington, D.C. later this month. And that meeting has always featured a dinner at the White House for all, and I do mean all the governors, Democrats, Republicans, independents back when Jesse Ventura was governor of Minnesota. Well, that's over. that's done because the Trump maladministration announced that the only governors they would invite to the White House for the dinner were the maggot governors.

You know, governors like, oh, that creep landry from Louisiana, stand, or Governor Hee-Haw, Mee-Maw from Alabama. Yeah. Or, uh, Governor Taint Reeves of Mozzi. The jackass from Tenistan, the jackass from Taliban Dianna, Governor Jethrine, Bowdeen, Sarah Hustle Buck Sandbags

from Arkansas. And the National Governors Association is surprisingly pushing back. They said, uh, when they should go to D.C. later this month, they're not going to have a meeting with daddy. And earlier today, 18 governors of 18 Democratic governors said, if the reports are true that not all governors are invited to these events,

which have historically been productive and bipartisan opportunities for collaboration, we will not be attending the White House dinner this year. Democratic governors remain united and will never stop fighting to protect and make life better for people in our states. All the more surprising because the chair at this point in time of the National Governors Association is none other than Kevin misplaced consonant stitt of Oklahoma Stan. He sent out a letter yesterday that the White House would limit the invitations to the only Republican governors. in the letters, Stitt said, because NGA's mission is to represent all 55 governors, the association is no longer serving as the facilitator for that event, and it is no longer included in our official program.

It was one of the rare, you know, bipartisan events that remained. But earlier today, Caroline, real poo-poo, leave it alone, said, it's the people's house. it's also the president's home, so he can invite whomever he wants to dinners and events here at the White House bitches. I added that part. Stitt, meanwhile, trying to save a little bit of face, said, We cannot allow one divisive action to achieve its goal of dividing us. Wait, that's some tormented English, isn't it?

One divisive action? It's not a divisive action, it's a divisive person. But you can't say that, can you, Kevin? The solution is not to respond in kind, but to rise above and to remain focused in our shared duty to the people we serve. Merck as governors have always been models of pragmatic leadership, and that example is most important when Washington grows distracted by politics. Washington is not growing distracted, Kevin Stitt, you pathetic maggot, you. it's your orange Jesus that's the problem. And see, there's a reason for all of this

because it was at last year's NGA meeting where Maine governor, Janet Mills, looked at Trump and said, cool, see you in court, big boy. And that got, that got poor Tangerine Tiberius all up in his fields. And golly dang it,

It just hurts. Another woman being mean to him. All the women are mean. Governor's meeting, Lee wants to know, was there a sign you have to be this white to enter? Oh, and I'm sorry it's still a thing within our purview, but, well, this story. centers on Jill Zarin She had a brand new gig

She was She found fame As one of the Real Housewives at New Jersey Gabba Goule and all of that I found some Gaba Gould today I stopped at the fantastic little market A few blocks away from Victoria's

Where I get the Awesome hamburger because I'm going to She wants a pot of chili, and I love an opportunity to make a pot of chili. And while there, I looked in the deli case, and lo and behold, there it was. C-A-P-P-P-A-C-O-L-A. Gabba Gould. So I had to get some, and it's absolutely delicious. But anyway, I'm sorry.

She was on, Jill Zeran was on Real Housewives of New York City, and she was supposed to join a reboot called The Golden Life. with her former co-stars, and everything was going swimmingly until Sunday. It was Sunday that Jill Zarin said that Bad Bunny's performance was, quote, The worst halftime show ever. It's 250 years that we're celebrating right now in the United States, and I just don't think it was appropriate to have it in Spanish. And then she went on and said, it was inappropriate for him to grab his crutch.

He doesn't have to be gripping himself every five seconds. Is he so insecure? Jilly, honey. Have you heard any of your boy Bob Richie Kid Rocks lyrics? You know, the ones where he raps about wanting to have sex with underage girls? You know, I think if she'd said something about that, should probably still have a job. The whole tang was a political statement because there were literally no white people in the

entire ting. I think it was a political statement, and I'm not taking aside one way or the other. I just do. I think it was an ice tang. I just think that the NFL sold out, and it's very sad because it's 75 years. Shame. Shame. What is 75 years, Jilly?

Aw, poor Jilly. Jilly's not so good with her Roman numerals, is she? Oh. Jilly, honey. It was Super Bowl LX. That would be your Super Bowl 60, not Super Bowl 75. As, uh, as Bug's Bunny Bight might note, What am I roan?

Yes, Billable, you are correct. Jilly sure sounds a lot like Bugs Bunny. We've established this little problem on this program. All my New Yorkers sound like Bugs Bunny. Sorry. I'm sure New Yorkers think that, you know, all Southerners or all Appalachians sound like Granny and Uncle Jed. Yeah.

But Jilly was bad enough that she caught the attention. of the ladies over at the view. I just can't get enough a bad buddy talking about bad buddy. I can't get enough of that performance and just the vibe that he brought. So days

after the Super Bowl, people are still losing their minds over Bad Buddy's halftime show. Now, former real housewife, who? Jill Zarin. Jill Zarin. Okay, her. It was the who

that made it art. deleted a post, a video post, where she called the performance the worst halftime show ever. Why do we care what she says? I don't know. She said there were no white people. The white people were in the audience.

White people were in the grass. There was all kind of white people there. I mean, white people were she looking at. Yes, there were white people who were in the grass. I thought Lady Gaga was right on stage. Italian white girl. That's right. And he's Italian.

And Hillbilly. Didn't recognize Lady Gaga's face. And I thought that is really... Well, that's your problem. Get some glasses. But that's also rich coming from a housewife. I think there's more plastic surgery. She was commenting...

Well, I don't mean... I mean that she was commenting that she must have gotten a facelift because she didn't recognize Lady Gaga. And I thought, that is funny because I don't recognize cast photos every time Bravo drops a new episode. Yeah. Because they all... Correct.

So I... I mean, there's that part. And her major complaint was, you know, it was in Spanish and I didn't understand any of it. Well, you know what? I'm sorry. Everybody was down with the macarena when it came out and they were all on the carnival cruises and they were doing all of this. And everybody was fine with it. You know, I think what's so interesting to me is, you know.

God, we are time traveling this evening. Talking about the nipple O. Doom 22 years ago. and here's here's sunny talking about the macarena. I had forgotten about the macaron. Whoa, macaroni. Whatever. I remember when you couldn't step outside your door without hearing that song. This country seems to be one of the only countries in the world that is so proud of being monolingual

and not being able to communicate in more than one language. And the fact of the matter is, in about 20 years, multi-ethnic, people will be the majority in this country. So if you don't understand Spanish, maybe start taking a little Duolingo course. Ooh, the folks at Duolingo loving that. I mean, it doesn't much matter when we do unpaid product placement here, but when it happens with the ladies on the view, numbers go up. Except among the maggots because Duo lingo, is that some kind of fur iner language? Oh, no, no. I just want to talk good,

American AAA so as we all can understand. English was enough for God Almighty when he wrote the Bible there and inspired that queer king to write it and shit. I just want to stick with English because I speak the English real good. Not exactly the same people. They go to the opera where they speak Italian and French, but let's not go there. Yeah.

You know, the country, in my opinion, has a misplace. set of values. I was reading in the New York Times front page today that Trump is rolling back environmental protections. He is resuming and amping up nuclear testing. All the while people are worried that people don't

understand the Spanish. Everybody takes Spanish in school, by the way. I was following it. Yeah. You know, so I mean, it's just a Yeah, me and Joey. I picked out a couple of words here and there. It was cool.

about what's important in this country. We have to worry about what this guy is doing every day. It's absolutely true. And here's the other thing. It's like, it's okay if you didn't understand what he was saying. If you didn't catch the vibe of we're proud to be here, we're happy to be American. If you didn't understand that he is American, because Puerto Rico's part of the United States. If you didn't get anything, that's okay.

All those things are okay. The truth of the matter is you're not a large majority, and that's the mistake we make. You are not a large majority. You're loud, but you're not the largest majority. Who are you talking to? I'm talking to the people who say, well, this is not an American thing.

This is not this. You shouldn't be doing this. Those are not the majority of people. The majority of people are doing the work they need to do to take care of their families, They are not snowflakean because real people don't have time to be snowflakes. Yeah. Okay. Y'all, on the other hand, you are the most snowflakey people I've ever seen.

Everything bothers you. Oh no, that's not the true. That's not the real history. We shouldn't tell the truth about... Yeah. People would be mad at us. Grow up. You know, you've coined a term snowflakian.

Yes. I like it. Yeah. It is a wonderful term because people always say, oh, you're such snowflakes. It ain't us, babe. No. Oh, nice Dylan reference too there, whoopey. It ain't us, babe.

No, no, no, no, it ain't us. But tucked away in all of this stupidity is a reality. And, you know, reference was made to the fact that we are the only country that seems to be just so damn proud of only being. able to speak one language. You heard Flavio's little rundown of the languages he learned, started out with Portuguese, learned English, then French and Spanish, Italian he was ready for, and hit a wall with German. Thank God it. Thank God it wasn't Ukrainian or Russian or Polish that might have destroyed you, Flavio. But no, there's, I've always loved foreign languages. And I've never, you know, it's part of why I say that we should at least live 500 years as human beings so that we can have the time to do everything that we need to do and not have to pick and choose among things.

And Rob Peter to pay Paul and let some things hang fire while we attend to the needs of that person from Porlock. The rest of the world, the civilized world, starts teaching their children second and third line. languages in elementary school. In the United States, you're lucky if you get to study a foreign language by ninth grade. Language acquisition skills are much stronger in younger humans, because our little brains are just waiting for the wiring for it. And learning to think in two or three different languages is profound. And I include in that, you know, the language known as mathematics, the language known as music.

They're kind of inextricably intertwined. Now, aren't they? Yeah. But we're so proud of our ignorance. And I do. I get a little rod about this because I think about going into my senior. year of high school, my Latin teacher, my second Latin teacher, my first Latin teacher had taken off to go to CIA language school for her going away present. I made her homemade Rubens and wrote

Robbins Rubens on the brown paper bag, but then the most important part was that each, since she was going to the CIA language school. Each Rubin had a pair of dark glasses and false nose on it. Yeah, CIA. I thought it was cute. Still do. But she took off to the CIA language school, which meant we had to have a new Latin teacher, and we got one, and she was exceptional.

Her name was Ruth Godwin. And I love her and my first Latin teacher to this day. because they changed my young mind. I don't mean they made me take a different attitude toward, no, they literally changed how my brain works. My first Latin teacher had us keep a derivative notebook. That's what she called it, a derivative notebook. And every time we ran across a word,

we were supposed to look up the etymology of it and find out where it came from in Latin, because she constantly reinforced that 70% of the words in English come from Latin. It's true. And so many English words have a derivation from Latin. You know, just like French, just like Spanish, just like Italian, just like Romanian, just like Portuguese. The so-called romance languages. But anyway,

for my senior year, well, Dr. Godwin, and she was a real doc, PhD, teaching little rednecks in Alabama, they had found her because she was a true linguist, and she had taught English to the Soviet astronauts over in Huntsville for the Apollo Soyuz mission. And that was back in the 70s. It was a big deal. A little thaw in the Cold War. And so she was also fluent, Barushki, if that's even close. And a bunch of us wanted to sign up to take Russian one.

Ooh, the firestorm. Ooh, the shit hemorrhage. Good, God, fear, and upstanding Bible-believing, Christ-centered evil, gelical, gun-demilist, Samu Sexual Baptists and Methodists and hard shell baptists and soft shell Baptists and Roman Catholics and Presbyterians and all of them banded together and said, We don't want our good God fear and children learning no goddamn communist language. So your obelostas didn't get to take Russian one in her senior year of high school. Instead, my senior year of high school, I took German one, which apparently, I did.

enjoy it that's why i came back to it's why i'm studying it now although i have determined that when i reach level when i complete level a two i'm going to go back and pick up my spanish again just out of necessity or just because maybe it'll piss off a maggot here or there yeah i'm not likely to get a lot of calls from people speaking german to me but i might get a call now and then from someone speaking Spanish and I'd like to be open to that. First thing I'll have to learn to say is slowly, slowly. Was it Luntamente? Yeah. But it is a failing that we do not take seriously the education of kids in other languages. Back to Kid Rock for a minute. Reverbo says, I'm sure I've weighed in on Kid Rock before, but he's a gift that keeps on making me vomit.

you didn't even have to hear or see him for a second. You just knew only a total maggot dickface would pick a nickname for themselves that's stupid. And of course, as soon as you did and hear him, your predictions were sadly confirmed. Actually, I remember when he hit the charts with that one song where he samples both werewolves of London and Sweet Home Alabama and rhymes the word, thing with the word thing and managed to to make me not able to listen to either song for rather a long time i knew even then that he was a full on dumbass and at one point in time he actually played a uh some sort of festival concert whatever just out the road from my home there in fayette county

Well, there were cars and Confederate flags all over creation, and that was one of those weekends. I just stayed close to the ranch. And Tamara, what's that? Languages, to my Mexican-Spanish ears, bad bunny is like Scottish English. I have no idea what most Glaswegians are saying either. Oh, I know. The late great Ed Rable, who loved the Cuban people. you know he had entered he had as an Emmy award-winning journalist he had interviewed

Fidel among other people and he used to in his retirement he would lead student trips to Cuba as a sort of humanitarian bridge between cultures and Ed by virtue of having covered you know Iran-Contra and been in the jungles of Nicaragua spoke Spanish fluently. But in an interview, in a conversation we had on this program years ago, Ed said that Cubans, Cubans speak Spanish like they've got a mouth full of marbles. And I think if what I understand to be correct is the same can be said of Puerto Rican Spanish. or, you know, Dominican, Spanish.

So Bad Bunny is like Scottish English. I have no idea what most Glaswegians are saying either. Well, Tamara, the Glaswegians are glad. They don't want you to know. Have you ever been to Glasgow? I haven't, but I remember Bordane doing an episode one time, and one of the segments was a Glaswegian explaining to Bordain how to properly gut stab

a foe in a fight. Yeah. Oh, thank you, Flavio, thank you so much. And lo and behold, we are now down below $1,400 bucks, we're at $1,190. Thank you, Flavio. That's so kind of you, so sweet, thank you. Randy Radar says,

You were lucky if you take Russian, and there's a good possibility that you would have been attracted, you would have attracted to spooks and you wouldn't even notice it. Nah, I don't think so. They weren't exactly crawling all over Dr. Godwin. It's a language, not a political philosophy. Politics is politics, language is language. It would have been, it might have been kind of cool to read some of the poetry.

Lee says why a lot of countries teach English. Technology is the reason many foreign countries need people to speak English. The proliferation of telephone technology meant operators needed to talk to each other. Because the technology came from an English-speaking country, operators needed English. When air travel became multinational, air traffic controllers and pilots needed one language when they fly over multiple countries. English was the choice because of the language of the people who built the airplanes. Same with technology. Snark.

AI Gore added an English-only requirement in his Internet patent. Oh, that's not AI. That's Al. I hate that font. I need capital I's to be capital I's and lower-case L's to be lower-case L's and be able to tell the difference between them on the fly. P.S. says Lee, do you remember on I Love Lucy when they were in a police station and needed five more people to translate to English? that or wasn't there a nighttime conversation

on I Love Lucy where Ricky was pointing out the utterly incomprehensible foibles that are baked into English and didn't he

eventually just put up his hands in despair and say I didn't mean, you know, and from Tamara, Scotland and Puerto Rico, been to both places. The people are lovely. No, I've never been to Glasgow. I have been to Puerto Rico. And the people were lovely. Even got a hand-rolled cigar that day.

That was the day that Ferg and I went aboard the replica HMS bounty. and it really made an impression on FERG when I explained to him that his ancestors had crossed the ocean blue on a boat not much or a ship not much dissimilar and sadly the Cuncade curse the hurricane came along I think the very next hurricane season we were there in February the very next hurricane season

a hurricane came along and they took the bounty out to sea to try to save her. And she and her captain and I think another crew member were lost. But if you've ever seen Mutiny on the Bounty, the Bounty, and I think a couple of other movies that ship was used in the filming. Wait a minute here. Ralph's thanks for that. I will save that for post-program. which reminds me this is a conversation radio program we are more than halfway through if you'd like to take part in the program feel free to jump right in the stress line is 844 843 4676 844 the horn and you can also reach the program at least for now via the discord channel if you're already a member of the old

holler tree community. Feel free to use that. Yes, the sound effects are me making the Discord channel broadcast friendly. There was an uncomfortable moment earlier today

on the podcast hosted by Joe Rogain. The spouse of Whalehead dead bear brainworm lamprey Cheryl Hines formerly of curbier enthusiasm

was Pink Shrek's guest yeah and like I said it got a little squirmy because he brought up things that Cheryl

Heinz is not supposed to talk about that if he was not in the high school girls Right. Like, if he was just into grown women who were sex workers and he ran the same operation exactly the same way, it could probably go on to this day. Yeah. And if everybody kept their fucking mouth shut and if all these guys, you know? Yeah.

I mean, look at some people that are in there. There was nothing going on. Oh. FBI concluded Jeffrey Epstein wasn't running a sex trafficking ring for powerful men file show. Oh, there you go. Oh, there you go. Who says that? What's that source?

Yeah. going around the I just found the place that was showing the headline it was going around the internet today yeah the AP is the AP reporting it yeah today oh I thought that was five I thought that was from 2005 I was like the FBI stating it today that's the gas lightiest gaslight and shit I've ever heard in my life whoa what do they think is going on just a bunch of fun bunch guys hanging out that is being fellas having cocktails talking about science they're still looking into it but they don't have any evidence.

Oh, look into it. Maybe you see, get Eddie Bravo in the case. I'm looking into it. That is. The name of a show. Look into it. Oh, it's so crazy. It's, but there's probably a lot of that that's gone forever.

Yeah. But it's true. Yesterday, it went around, made the rounds again that the FBI had concluded that Epstein wasn't running a sex trafficking ring. But what Cheryl Hines supposed to say? Yeah, I know. My husband is a sex pest and a creep who ran around with Jeffrey Epstein. That's a thing.

In the Epstein files, there's a reference to whalehead dead bear brainworm Lampery and Epstein running around somewhere. and by the way it was illegal but laws they don't need no stinking laws so they illegally entered the pine

ridge reservation because they were going hunting is there any bottom to the weirdness of Bobby Kennedy Jr. They were going hunting for dinosaur bones. Leave the animals alone little Bobby

don't make me talk to your father about this when he comes home. I'll never get over that video of JFK taking a goldfish in a bowl away from Bobby when little Bobby was sticking his hand in the goldfish bowl trying to grab the little fish in his little psychopathic fist. Here we are. And by the way, you know, measles is... Oh, that's... That's a thing. That's a thing. Yeah, that was on the list for this evening.

You know, nitwit Nero and his supporters like to use the most vile, vicious, filthy, vulgar terms to describe brown people. I mean, some of this stuff is straight out of mind conf. Words like vermin. Well, guess who it turns out is a vector of disease, namely, particularly, and to wit, the measles. And this is also a bit of a journalism moment. I'll go right to the phones in a second. I'm looking at a headline from the tabloid or something, the DC tab for actual Washingtonians, Washington News. Life begins at contagion.

DC officials, March for Life Ralliers brought measles to city. Exposures at Catholic University, Children's Hospital, and January 23rd Pro-Life March, and infected took red line to Union Station. Ah, shit. Okay, are we clear? These maggots vectored measles into the nation's capital. They brought the measles with them. These Christians, these people who are pro-life. They did. Well, it becomes more interesting. Like I said, this is kind of a journalism moment, too. Not only are the pro-life marchers. disease-bearing goons. They also get cover from publications like The Hill, which has a definite right-word slant. Max Rigo was the reporter on this story for the Hill yesterday. Now, we've already made clear that these disease-bearing maggots brought the measles with them to D.C.

I would not be at all surprised given it it's a pro-life rally, you know, seeking to further destroy women's bodily autonomy. Wouldn't be surprised if some of them came from South Carolina Stan where the measles is getting to the point that it's as common as the cold. So now that, again, just to reiterate, we know the maggots brought the measles. to DC. Compare that with this headline. March for life attendees may have been exposed to measles, DC health officials say. Well, that makes it sound like the measles were already there and some innocent little fetus fetishists just breathe the wrong air. Oopsie! Hopefully Jesus will cure them. No. Health officials in Washington, D.C., said Sunday that attendees of last month's March for Life rally may have been exposed to measles amid a nationwide outbreak of the disease. See how we're trying to cover up the disease-ridden maggots? D.C. Health said in a notice it was notified of multiple confirmed cases of measles whose carriers visited multiple locations in the district while contagious and is informing people who were at these locations that they're not.

They may have been exposed. These locations include the March for Life on the National Mall. Thousands of anti-abortion advocates fetus fetishists gathered for the event. But also the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. Various locations on the campus of Catholic University of America. National Airport on January 26th. multiple metro trains on January 26 and 27th, and the Amtrak concourse at Union Station on January 27th.

Children's National Hospital also said on its website that a Virginia resident visited its emergency department while contagious with measles on February 2nd from 1115 a.m. to 1145 a.m. What a pathetic piece of propaganda to make it sound like these disease-bearing maggots just happened to catch the measles out on the National Mall, in the train station, all over the place at Catholic University and some religious shrine? Sure, sure.

Because, you know, they couldn't just outright say that these pro-life creations don't give a good God damn who they give the most contagious disease that's common on planet Earth. If you ever wondered if these are a bunch of self-centered creeps, these pro-life people, well, there's your proof. It got me thinking, I wonder, I wonder if there were any pregnant people who were exposed to these disease-ridden maggots and how they'll feel about it because you know they love the little fetus while it's still a fetus but yeah they'll much give a fuck about it after it's born whatabs you know when another pandemic does come to the united states not if but when it'll probably come in

with a maggot you know one of those maggots who listened to bobby kennedy and he says i think my voice is all fucked up because I got the flu vaccine. No, Bobby, your voice is all fucked up because you were a heroin junkie for like 19 years. That's one of the things that it does, just like abusive stimulants makes you shit your pants, like your orange daddy there. Oh, well, dirty little maggots. There's a reason. I wonder if any of the maggots were masking.

I wonder if any of the maggots in South Carolina, where they have spread measles far and wide, I wonder if any of them are masking. I wonder if smart people, Todd, are you out there, buddy? I wonder if you're masking because you got sick maggots all over the place down there. I need to, I do, I need to check with my provider and see if I should get a measles booster. Because I had the measles, but I don't know which means. I had, and I still worry about it from time to time. Let's go over to the stress line and see who we've got. Hey, welcome to the program.

Hello. Hey, Flavio. How are you? How's it going? It's going. I love my 60 degree. I love my little 60 degree day today. Oh, man.

Here it's still 34. It's still cold. It's still. Oh, you know, 34 feels like 20 or something. You know, it's like, yeah, it's... Well, I'm getting all excited because a week from Thursday, the high temperature is 66. Nice, nice.

No, I just wanted to say that as far as, Bobby Kennedy goes, that's genetic malfunction. Because he has another, what is it, a cousin, another sister or something that has the same problem as he does. And, yeah, so it's... So it's not because he was a junkie. It's just, it's genetic. No, it's just genetic because that whole family is in bread. A. F.

Probably true, but still it doesn't reduce the disingenuity of him saying, it's probably because I got the flu shot. No, no, it doesn't. No, no, you're right there. I just wanted to say that it's documented that he has another relative who has the same issue. Okay. We should, we should, you know, be careful, you know, just saying. But what was I calling about?

I'm worried about talking about ice. Just one thing. Let me just add that it's never a bad idea to remind people that the entire health system of the United States of America is in. the hands of a partially recovered heroin addict? Oh, yeah, no, no, absolutely. And that is, yeah, no, no problem there. No, I wanted to say the entire ecosystem, I mentioned earlier, that in Dante's Infernal,

the sores of discord are perpetually rent asunder by demons in the inferno because they sow discord and

yeah no otherwise is going with this okay a future FCC has it has to put limits on so-called freedom and speech. These people are not freedom of speech warriors. They are of stores of discord.

I am not a free speech absolutist. How do you feel about that? I mean... Well, I mean, if you are a... If you're fairly conversant with First Amendment law in the United States, You know that, and of other countries as well, you know, you know that there are, there's no such thing as free speech absolutism. But you have these people like, like, that's just a, you know, that's just a bullshit term that Leon Scum made up. And other countries limit what you can put online.

you cannot you cannot put false statements online it's not right it's it's it's wrong it's it's it's just like you can't do that and still live in a civil polity well and and that raises that everybody that raises another question flavio in that and i read this earlier today you know the the maggots are saying, well, it's not just an American problem. They got measles outbreaks all over the country, all over the world. I don't know why my maggot now sounds like Barney Fife. But, you know, citing European liberal. He was a good guy. He was a good guy.

Barney Fife was a good guy. That's true. That's true. But the list of countries that are dealing with a measles problem is, curiously a list of formerly liberal democracies. Now, does that make your little ears stand up? It does. Because you started out talking about Dante and sowers of discord. Well, no one sows discord like Mother Russia so's discord. It's a means of attacking liberal democracy when people will not even believe their own science that their parents and grandparents and generations before them did believe because they saw the results of letting diseases run wild.

I heard one expert say that to that extent, you know, these countries are victims of their own success. Okay. What do you mean by that? Well, that by, you know, Great Britain, along with the United States, will probably lose it's eradication status relative to measles fairly soon because they cannot

achieve and they can't achieve because they can't achieve the vaccination rates. They, they because of all the crap they spread online. Yes. And and Brazil and France

they're fighting that. Brazil is you know is fighting that tooth and nail. They're going after people that propagate that

crap, anti-vaxer crap. Yeah. And France is too. Germany to an extent. Well, and as to free speech absolutism, what I was getting at earlier is every country

has its own definitions. A lot of countries have hate crime or hate speech laws, and their people are somehow not slaves of the state. Yeah, exactly. I think a German or a Frenchman or a Canadian would tell you that they feel just perfectly free, damn it. Thank you very much. Yeah, exactly. And I don't see, you know, why a future administration, if we make it through this,

can't go after these bad actors that allow the propagation of falsehoods, I mean, verifiable falsehoods. You know, the anti-vaccine stuff is totally verifiable. But it takes you down a bit of a rabbit hole, Flavio. because Oh, how so? Well, you have to wonder, okay, look, one of the early proponents of, relatively early, of anti-vax garbage is, of course, whalehead, dead bear, brainwarm lamprey. And he started, he started that grift. And one thing he never does is use his own money.

So there is probably a money. No, the out of the deal was other people's money. Sure, that too. But Bobby, there's bound to be a paper trail of money getting to Bobby to promote his anti-vaxism. And you can almost guess right off the top of your head where that money trail ends. Not on the Bobby end, but on the front end. Yeah, Mother Russia. Sure.

I mean, I don't think it's – let me make something clear, Flavio. I don't think it's China because China is busting its ass tooth and toenail to make sure that COVID-19 doesn't happen again. Because we've always already had, you know, SARS-Cove 1, which broke out under a competent American president. And we sent the epidemiological equivalent of the Normandy invasion to China to quell that and to try to keep it relatively isolated and were successful. and then SARS Cove 2, which Nitwit Niro allowed to run rampant in the United States because they don't really scared people. You know, I'd rather be scared than dead. No, no. My point is we have to go after these people somehow.

Well, it's the somehow is the rock and a hard place. How do you mean? Well, because of the present interpretation of the First Amendment. You know, the fact that the Biden administration reached out to social media companies and said, listen, foreign operators are pushing disinformation into this country, and you need to do something about it. These are your platforms. We're not going to move in and do it. We can't.

First Amendment. But you have to. This is going to kill people. And lo and behold, it became cause celebr to the maggots and the people who picked their teeth with their toenial clippings. Joe Biden shutting down the free exchange of information, Eunish. I mean, I know you remember that, Flavio.

I do. I do. But what is a solution? Other countries that have been able to do it. I mean, Brazil did it. I know Elon Musk was pissed to the hilt, and he was not able to do anything about Brazil because they stood their ground and said, no, you can't do this.

you need to appoint a representative of your company to the country, and you need to be held viable. Yeah, to receive service of process. Sure, that's, I understand. That's SOP. And the French are out there now, and they have launched a full-scale investigation of GROC. Exactly. Because GROC has turned into a disgusting platform. For the promulgation of AI deepfakes, I mean, people used GROC.

Holocaust, denial, everything. Yeah, but people used GROC to create nudes of Renee Good. No, of Renee Good. Yeah. Renée Good. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And do you fault other countries for clamping down? You don't, I don't think.

No. But they are not limited, these countries, you know, for instance, England doesn't even have a written constitution. And they don't, these other countries don't have a constitution with the language that's in our First Amendment, which has been missing. Well, that law, see, it's not even, it's, Flavio, it's not even so much a free speech issue. It's a religious issue. and according to this repulsive court, all you have to do is claim to be a Christian and say that your Christian values have been offended or your Christian sensibilities have been offended. And then you don't have to make a website for a queer couple that you made up out of whole cloth out of your own imagination. Or you don't have to bake a pizza for a queer couple.

or you don't have to, and it's always for a queer couple, okay? Yeah, I'm always trying to wrap my head around this thing because it's just, it's just too bully for me. Honestly, it's just too woolly. Well, it's, it's, it's, it's theocracy at work. When somebody who picks, when the religious beliefs of somebody, who picks their teeth with their toenail clippings outstrips

the rest of our ability to not be inundated with bullshit propaganda about curing diseases with Ardvark antifungal. I love that. I love

Ardvark. It does wonders. It does one years, really. Just ask an Ardvark, sure. But that put you in a real spot. But what I was trying to say earlier is that every country, including this one, has taken steps in the past. And they're called prior restraints to limit speech that is of no political, artistic, legal, journalistic, merit on the front end. For instance, you know, the oldest, you know, the oldest condensation of that

concept is that you can't yell fire in a crowded theater. Justice, Oliver, when there's no fire, because people are going to stampede, people are going to get trampled, people are going to get killed. That's a prior restraint. So, too, is the prior restraint on saying that one has plans to eminently do harm to the chief executive officer of the United States. You just can't do it. I mean, this is a bullshit case, but about 45 miles south of where I am right now, I don't know if she's even made bail.

a woman made a an emotional and not well thought out statement on social media about wanting to see nitwit Nero pining for the fjords well lo and behold

next thing you know the gendarmerie are on her doorstep and she's got her picture wearing an orange, an orange jail uniform, uh, being splattered all over the country. She didn't even, I did not hear about that. She didn't, she didn't even name Trump, but by God the stormtroopers showed up. And her life is effectively ruined. I did not hear about that.

That was recently? Hmm, in the last month. Okay Let me see if I can find it real quick Okay See if I just put West Virginia Woman jailed I'm going to get a bunch of

Fentanyl busts There was one just down the road for me I actually saw it going on As I drove past Wow These are women now Three women Whom my kids all know

Wow Contemporaries of my kids There it is Woman accused of Trump Assassination Plot Appears in court Megan Morrow age 39 of Jackson County

West Virginia The county next south of Where I am Is accused of posting on social media To find someone who would take part In a plan to kill Trump The case will now be heard By a grand jury

Because they charged her With a fucking felony following a detailed investigation by deputies in the Jackson County Bureau of Investigations Megan El Morrow 39 was detained, arrested, and transported to South Central Regional Jail on Sunday night following a social media recruitment of individuals to pursue and assassinate President Donald Trump She didn't even mention his name. What she said, you know, this is just ill-informed TikTokry. The complaint, and this is from the Parkersburg News and Sentinel, this is a quote,

the complaint said these threats originated from a publicly accessible TikTok account belonging to Morrow. It said one post stated, quote, surely a sniper with terminal illness can't be a big ask out of 342 million people. The complaint said based on the context and wording of the post, that's always kind of a confession that you don't have a case. It was interpreted. We do love our passive voice at the Parkersburg News and Sentinel. It was interpreted the threats were advocating and encouraging the assassination of the President of the United States. The complaint said members of the Jackson County Bureau of Investigations, along with officers from the Ravenswood Police Department, responded to Morrow's residence where she was transported to the Jackson County Sheriff's Office for further investigation. She was read her Miranda rights and did not shut the fuck up.

During the interview, she said she authored the post. And Jackson County Sheriff Ross Mellinger said, Monday, Some of the posts were pretty graphic. She was rather proud of her work. Charged with violation of West Virginia Code 61624B of communicating a terroristic threat. She's a librarian, Flavia. She's a librarian. Wow.

I wanted to mention something. A lot of the social media posts that I see friends of my friends of mine. who somehow allow maggots on their timeline. But the tenor is that, you know, that ICE is doing good. And no, ICE is arresting American citizens, natural-born citizens, naturalized citizens, lawful permanent residence with a green card. And, well, if you're not here legally, then you need to be deported.

But if you're a lawful American citizen, natural born, naturalized... Green card, temporary protected status, asylum status, you are here legally. Yeah. I never naturalized. I am a legal permanent resident because my father obtained citizenship for all of us, not citizens, lawful permanent residence for all of us.

And I still have my green card. And yeah, I wish I had naturalized way back, but that doesn't guarantee anything, does it? now. You know. I mean, it guarantees something for like Leon Scum who entered this country illegally and lied on his application.

It matters for him. It matters for melanoma. And her chain migration parents. So my father was hired by UW University of Wisconsin and

we all got permanent legal residence but yeah i have this card and i'm like what does this mean you know yeah you better carry it every goddamn where you go yeah i know it's it's yeah i i send copies to my siblings just in case you know yeah but then again what you've got this much going for you at least where the cavana stops are concerned you're not brown oh yeah no i'm i'm not Brown. Yeah. And two, two.

You've been there so damn long. You sound, you sound like you're a born Wisconsinian and probably Norwegian. No, no, I'm actually Portuguese. Yeah, I know, but, you know, anybody who runs around saying, uffda. I know. I say that a lot. That's a common saying around here. Well, we're mostly Norwegian and German, but,

but man, I'm, yeah, yeah, I'm worried, you know. You have a right to be worried. I'm worried about that guy who runs, what is it, Managua brewing up there, who promised free beer, if you mentioned, if you mentioned his post on the day it finally happens. I love him. I, I am a subscriber. I like their brew.

scoop. They're really good. Well, I'm not a big beer drinker anymore, but I would hoist one. I'm sure it wouldn't be as good as spotted cow, but I'd hoist one. No, no, they're pretty good. They're pretty good. I just don't want a bunch of hops. I'm all hopped out. No, no.

I don't like hoppy beers either. No. I'm more of an oostabak. It's, it's, it's, it's, hops are such a, you know, 20 teens, dude bro thing. I'm an Uftabak guy. Uftabak is a wonderful, um, brew from Nugleris. And, um, I like Uhtabak. I just want to get back up there.

I just want to get back up. I, I've been saying that for 12 years. I want to get back to Wisconsin. I want to get back to Wisconsin. Wisconsin is a lovely place. Well, yeah, and there's still the running joke that the last time I was there, it was a February. And I said, you know, I just need to come back during warm weather to actually confirm that y'all have trees that have leaves on them. No, we do.

No, but Uftavak is a good brew and Hubervok. Hubervok is my all-time favorite. Box are really malty, so they don't like my diabetes. No, that's true, but, no, I don't drink beer anymore, but, um, I remember. remember going through college. Huberbach was wonderful. You could get a case of Huberbach for

$8.00. It was like amazing. And it was really good beer. It was really good. But it was only $8 for a case. Yeah, I remember, and I think this stuff came out of Pennsylvania. I don't even know if it's

brewed anymore. but back in college when we were broke there were two alternatives go to speedies on drinking with Lincoln night where a $5 bill would get you all the icy light that you wanted to drink or a green belt or

you could always go up to the Sunnyside Superette and pick up a $6 case of Stonies. And I don't know if anybody in the Horn family community congregation, community congregation even remember Stonies. But Jesus that was bad beer. Holy shit. It was just gross.

Now, grain bouts. Graemebout was good, but only if you got it from Minnesota. Otherwise, what they, they propagated. nationwide was basically formaldehyde in the can that was awesome I confess I guess we're good

man I haven't done beer porn in forever but I actually did it was Saturday and I had stopped by a secret sandwich and was just waiting for my order so I decided no I have a beer and everything that was on tap, bless their hearts, was some dude bro IPA, but in their canned selection, they had a Belgian, a Belgian triple. And I mentioned it to Brother Deacon.

It was called Greens. And it's organic. And it's made with so-called ancient grains, sorghum, millet, millet, but. barley, water, yeast. Damn stuff was delicious. And it was also 8.5% ABV. So even one can had a little bit of a wallop to it as beers go. But, you know, Europeans being all metric and shit, it was, it was a smaller can of beer.

It was not a full good God fear An American 12-ounce can of beer God damn it And because they're all You know they take recycling seriously there There was an imprint of A zipper Down one side of the can that you were supposed to pull

To take the label off for recycling Nice Yeah I thought so But it was real I mean triples are Triples are great beers. And it was fantastic. Yeah, no, I, I, but I do recommend Hewerbach.

I, I drink maybe two or three beers a year. But when I go out with friends or stuff, and, and Huberbach, or any new Gleros product, is really good. Love New Glaris. By the way, got a couple of notes since we're talking beer here.

Kevin up in Massachusetts said Schaefer bottles were our cheap beer of choice, the old thick, heavy duty flip case. Shaper from Minnesota. Shaefer. I love Shafers. Is that Shafar? No, I think this is Shafer from the East Coast.

Shafer. No, Shafers. is from Minnesota. Are you sure there's not two different Schaefer's? I can't vouch for that, but no. Shafers is from Minnesota. And Tamara says

cheap beer. You guys didn't do the glass line tanks of old Latrobe? Oh, we did the... Yes, absolutely. We drank from the glass line tanks of old latrine. Rolling Rock. The Pennsylvania one? Oh, yeah, yeah, from La Trobe,

Arnold Palmer country. God. Yeah, what a sorry thing to have to do to Arnold Palmer's legacy that now I have to remember what NITWit Nero creeping and purving on Arnold Palmer. But yeah, he was from La Trobe and, yeah, Rolling Rock from, you know, And when I was living in Atlanta and working at CNN, there was a place called Taco Mac. And this is before the prevalence of imports.

And they had the most imports of any place in Atlanta. They even had a punch card. If you could drink one of everything, I don't know, they put your name on the wall or something. but, excuse me, you know, having gone to WVU and having drank my fair share of the beer from the glass line tanks of old latrine, I got the biggest giggle out of the fact that Taco Mac had a listing for their domestic beers, you know, your PBR's, Budweiser, Miller, whatever. And then on the other side of the ledger was the imports where they listed Rolling Rock because it, I guess because it came from north of the Mason Dixie line. I don't know.

Okay, Ralph's serving as the Horn Ad Hoc Schaefer Beer Research Committee. Schaefer Beer is a brand of American beer first produced in New York City during 1842. Then they made a brewery in Brinnexville, Pennsylvania, near Allentown. And from the 50s to the 70s, it was one of the biggest selling beers in the country. In fact, I think it makes an appearance a couple of times in Madnan. So, yes, it is an East Coast beer, Schaefer. Flavio, are you back? I'm back.

Okay, so you didn't hang up in a fit of Pete? No, no, no. I don't know what happened. But yes, Schaefer started in New York and went to Pennsylvania. Okay, all right. I didn't know, but... It was at one point. Okay, so the plant in Pennsylvania was bought by Stros.

Stros was absorbed by PBR. Yeah. So thanks for the fact check routes. I was talking about the fact that they're ISIS picking up anybody. ISIS picking up American citizens, natural born. They're picking up naturalized citizens. They're picking up people with legal permanent residency. they're out of control.

Yeah, and that became clear today when Lions, L-Y-O-N-S, the maggot in charge of ice, showed up on Capitol Hill. It was not nice. The Democrats were loaded for bear and took... I saw the hearings. I saw the hearings. Yeah, took him to town. Yeah, yeah. you know, I

don't know how to respond to people that think that, oh, they're just going after the worst of the worst. Yeah, in a country where Liam Ramos is considered a five-year-old

bunny hat wearing Spider-Man backpack carrying five-year-old Liam Ramos is the worst of the worst of the worst. The worst. The worst. Yeah. you know Todd Todd Lions

did not have a great day and this is this one I've got the clip here you'll be able to hear it um yeah represent New Jersey representative La Monica McIver she she was awesome

she took him to task say thank you and I'm grateful for the job that you do General lady yields back. I now recognize the general lady from New Jersey, Ms. McGuiver for five minutes of questions. Thank you, Mr. Chairman and ranking member. Mr. Lyons, as the senior official lead in ICE enforcement, much of today's scrutiny falls on you. And it should. You have seen repeatedly, we have seen repeatedly that Republicans Trump administration, its DHS, and your agency will do absolutely anything to avoid answering for your actions. When I showed up to inspect Delaney Hall, a private prison that you contract with,

ICE tried not to give us an oversight tour. Then, instead of taking accountability for ICE's attempts to keep us from seeing this facility's conditions to know if people's basic rights were being upheld, this administration is doing all they can to try to put me in prison for 17 years. When ICE shot and killed Renee Good, Christy Noem called her a domestic terrorist. When Alex Pready, you all tried to tell us he was threatening officers with a gun, but all we saw was a phone. This administration's clear lies fell apart, not because someone had a come to Jesus moment, but because we saw these murders from every angle. You are only here because public outrage has become so unavoidable.

You are here, Mr. Lyons, because white people are getting shot in the face and chest when the cameras are rolling. because now my Republican colleagues care about optics. But when Keith Porter Jr., a black American citizen, a son, a father, and a man loved by many, was killed by an off-duty ice Asian on New Year's Eve, there were no hearings. So this is for him today. In my district, Jean Wilson Brutus, a Haitian immigrant,

a beloved family man, died within 24 hours of being in ICE custody. He is just one of more than 30 people. people who have died in ICE custody last year. This is for all of them. Every human being your rogue out-of-control agency has hurt, hunted down, imprisoned, killed, and continue to hold hostage even after they have agreed to be deported. We know this administration doesn't care about protecting people or sparing lives. We all see so plainly what you are doing, what you have been doing to black and brown folks, immigrants, people's silence in the shadows, now in broad daylight to people peacefully rejecting your cruel agenda in the streets, which is their right to do? This is the

despicable or predictable result of an agency that laughs at oversight receives billions to deploy lethal force on our neighborhoods and seems to believe that they are above the law and should be without accountability. This administration believes it can act first, explain later, or hell, never explain at all, as we see here today. You all seem to think you are the highest power who decides which people deserve dignity, protection, due process, and due process. But you are wrong. We are here for answers. We are here for accountability. And we are here because people are dying. Let me repeat that. people are dying and you don't seem to care. So, Mr. Lyons, I've heard my colleagues ask many questions over and over again and you cannot answer them. So let me ask you some questions that you may be able to answer. Mr. Lyons, do you consider yourself a religious man? Yes, ma'am. Oh, yes. Okay. Well, how do you think Judgment Day will work for you with so much blood on your hands?

I'm not going to entertain that question. Oh, okay, of course not. Do you think you're going to hell, Mr. Lyons? I'm not going to end. Of course not. How many government... The gentlelady will suspend. The gentlelady will suspend. As I said, the issues we're debating here are important to ones that members feel deeply about. Thank you for me. While vigorous disagreement is part of the legislative process, members are reminded that we must adhere to establish standards of the Corman debate. The witnesses are here voluntarily. And I will continue, remind members that while oversight is important aggressively attacking those witnesses personally is inappropriate and not in keeping with the traditions of our committee. We're not quite done yet, but fuck, fuck that dude. Because he's the one who opened the door. Todd Lyons is the one who opened the door when he said,

I'm a religious man. Well, then it's fair to ask. what he expects that to result in. And the only wish I had for Representative McGuiver is that she had, instead of phrasing a question, looked at him and said, well, Mr. Religious Man, I got news. On that great getting up morning, Jesus is going to pinch your little head off and throw it down into hell for the little imps and demons to use as a fucking soccer ball, motherfucker. But like I said, we're not quite done yet.

No, no, no, no, no, stop it. All better. So, Chairman, I'm just asking the question. You all you guys are always talking about religion here in the Bible. I mean, it's okay for me to ask the question, right? But let me continue on. I got your notes. All right, the gentlelady may resume.

Thank you so much. Let me get back to my question and Mr. Chairman. Thank you. I appreciate you. How many government agency, Mr. Lyons, are you aware of that routinely kill Americans citizens and you still get funding. I'm not going to entertain that. Of course, you're not. Exactly. Exactly.

Once again, questions that you cannot answer. And that is exactly why, Mr. Chairman, and to this committee, to my colleagues and to my colleagues across the aisle, this is exactly why we should not be funding this agency. The people are watching you. They are watching you. And this is why we need to abolish ICE.

With that, I yield back. Thank you kindly. Hot damn, I wish I had the cowbell. Good on you, Representative McGuver. Yeah, and they're still going after her. Yeah, they are. But she wasn't...

She wasn't the only one. Oh, no. And God bless these women. They're the ones with the real courage. Representative Delia Ramirez of Illinois. Oh, she was fantastic. Yeah, absolutely. I got that clip too.

My mother, a Guatemalan immigrant and an American, taught me that I have a responsibility to look evil in the eye and to fight it back. Mr. Lyon, Mr. Scott, Mr. Edlil, you have used your power to perpetrate great evil. And it's about time you answer this committee for the lawlessness that you've empowered and defended in your testimony.

Mr. Lyons, I want to start with you. And I want to talk about ICE. Because under your leadership, ICE has shot and killed Silverio Villegas Gonzalez and Renee Good, violated nearly 100 court orders in January alone. You've used banned chokeholds in more than 40 cases, engaged in warrantless arrest despite of a consent decree, and you use children as bait to put 3,800 children in detention. You created traps for people at immigration court who were following the law and doing it the legal way. And you broke the law by entering to people's homes without a judicial warrant in violation of the Fourth Amendment.

Now, let's talk about you, Mr. Scott, and CBP next. Under your leadership, CBP has attempted to execute Marimar Martinez shooting her five times and not releasing the footage that you should release so that we can see the evidence, murdered Alex Prettie, used chemical agents dozens of times in Chicago after a judge ordered you to stop, conducted warrantless surveillance and racial profiling, and acted with total disrespect and disregard for the law while engaging in roving patrols, plate switching, dangerous traffic maneuvers, and observer intimidation. Again, criminals act with that total disregard for the law, and we continue to see it. You would both have us talk about respect for your mission and your agents.

But your agencies are unaccountable, paramilitary forces, and I have just as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the clanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were immoral then and criminal and so are yours. Slave patrols. She was awesome. And clan hoods. And, you know, I realize that there's a certain satisfaction to hearing these words spoken. But shame, Flavio, is something that can only be felt by a human heart.

And these people are shameless. They're every bit as shameless as Reinholde. Hedrick, gerbils, the rest of that filthy bunch. you cannot shame the shameless. Yeah. And the only real recourse to this is to eventually hang on to the case and then prosecute them and stick them in prison for the rest of their natural born days. There's one more clip here, and I think we should get to it. You said you watched the hearing, so you may know that I'm going to Dan Goldman next.

Dan Goldman was wonderful. He was absolutely merciless. And that's what the moment demanded. Let's see here. Five minutes of questions. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Lyons, what guidance have you given to your agents about asking people walking on the streets of America

to show proof of citizenship? Sir, as I stated earlier, the men and women of vice, deportation office of special agents, we conduct target intelligence-driven operation. We don't walk around on the street asking people about their American citizenship. Really? So all of those individual American citizens who have been randomly asked are lying.

Is that what you're saying? Sir, if the men and women of ICE are conducting an investigation, whether it be for Title VIII immigration enforcement or Title 18 criminal enforcement, they'll ask someone their nationality. Right, but that's not targeted because they're asking all sorts of American citizens, including off-duty law enforcement. Now, have you directed at any point your agents under the Supreme Court's racial profiling ruling

to only stop non-white people and those who look like immigrants to ask for their citizenship papers? No, sir, I haven't. Now, you are aware, of course, and there's well-documented, numerous well-documented instances, of people, American citizens, being asked to show and prove their citizenship. Do you know what other regimes in the 20th century required similar proof of citizenship? Yes, sir. What? Sir, there was various nefarious regimes that did that.

Is Nazi Germany one? Yes. But I... Is the Soviet Union one? Sir, I'm asking the questions. Is the Soviet Union one? Yes, sir. I totally, I totally, this is the wrong type of question.

No, I'll tell you what the wrong type of thing is, sir, it's Holocaust Museum is not at 14- independent, sir. If you want to go see my time, Mr. Chairman. It's not the men and women of vice that are out there doing it every day. So to say it to men and women of vice that get stopped us. Mr. Chairman, I'm reclaiming my time. I would like my time back, please. Please give me another 15 seconds because he was unnecessarily speaking.

You said in your opening statement that references to ICE as the Gestapo or the secret police encourages threats against ICE agents. The problem is you have it backwards, sir. People are simply making valid observations about your tactics, which are un-American and outright fascist. So I have a simple suggestion. If you don't want to be called a fascist regime or secret police, then stop acting like one.

But people are simply just observing what they are seeing. And that's why people are making those comments. Now, I was a prosecutor for 10 years. Prosecutor. Mob bosses, organized crime, violent criminals, the actual worst of the worst. Not a single criminal law enforcement agent that I worked with wore a mask to conceal their identity. But your department, which is a civil law enforcement agency,

is defending the use of masks by your agents because of a so-called rise in threats and assaults against your officer. Now, you said in your opening testimony that assaults against ICE officers are up by more than 1,400%, which is now even more than the 1,300% that your gaslighting spokesperson, Trisha from Ohio, has recently been citing. But here's the problem.

There are two separate, very detailed, very thorough investigative reports based on your own data that both conclude that assaults against ICE officers are up about 25%, which is far less, of course, than you assert, and far less than you would expect from an agency that has more than doubled its hiring and has an even greater increase in arrests. Now, why is that a problem, Mr. Lyons? It's a problem because the explanation that your agents are wearing masks because of fear of assaults or doxing is outright bogus. You and your untrained, unqualified, unvetted, unidentified agents are intentionally terrorizing our cities and communities all over this country to avoid accountability for their excessive force and their lawless actions.

That is why you're wearing masks. So no one can hold you accountable. And you know that the FBI is not going to because notwithstanding all of the investigations all of you say are going on, the Department of Justice and the FBI has stated they are not investigating those two murders. This is not the America that I know and love. This is not the America my immigrants came to. And it's long past time that you rein in your out-of-control agency and start following the law and the Constitution.

And I yield back. Gentleman's time has expired. Inspiring, isn't he, Flavio? He knows his shit. And I mean, from a lawyering standpoint, and I love that. It sounded like something you could hear in the archives of this program. Namely, if you don't want people to call you Nazis, don't do Nazi things. Don't be a fascist, yeah.

Seems fairly simple, doesn't it? Yeah, absolutely. Well, it's been a lovely conversation. I'm glad you called in. I have to get out of here because I have to go and pick up Victoria. from work. But thank you again for the help earlier, by the way. Oh, no, no problem.

I always try to help when I can. It is much appreciated. I wanted to say again, thank you for being there for us. Well, that goes both ways. Thank you all for being there for me. The voiceless. And have a good night. I'm going to try.

You do the same. And next time you do hoist a good glass of Nugleris, think of me, Flavio. Think of me. Absolutely. All right. You take care. Bye. Everybody, Flavio, out in Wisconsin.

So that's the program. Your humble Ostis did manage to hit the. record button this evening, so we won't have that crisis again. Thanks everybody. Thanks to each and every one of you who share your precious finite time engaging in the program in whatever manner you so choose. Thanks to our challenge makers and challenge respondents, thanks again to Steve and to Ralph's. Thank you so kindly. I think, Oh, Ralph's, your newest challenge got met by Flavia, so thank you there. We got down to, what, 130, you know, 1265, 1265.

I need to write that on my, I don't know, 1265, so tomorrow will be at 1565. If anybody on the overnight crew wants to help out, it is badly needed and much appreciated. because we're already a week behind and we're not even anywhere near the middle of February. So thank you. Thanks to our PayPal and Patreon, subscribers and contributors. Thanks to those of you who jump in via Venmo Cash App, the United States Postal Service. Thanks to our all-volunteer staff. Thank you, Roger, in the chat room.

Thank you to our NewsNinjas. Gene and Ann, I hope you both get to feeling better really soon. Please do. and thank you, Brother Deacon Asa, head on. Live. And remember, the Brother Deacon loves it when he sees remarks, reviews, comments on the podcast, and thanks to those of you who do. Thank you so much. Thanks to Emily for the intro.

Thanks to the hardest, working, bravest people I know, the folks at Coal River Mountain Watch, CRMW.net. Over a quarter century, it's a forefront of the struggle for human rights and environmental justice in Appalachia and a proud union shop. Stay safe, y'all. Stay safe. And if Todd Lyons, Todd

comes towards you on the sidewalk, babbling something, I refuse to entertain that question. I'm going to hell and I know it. Avoid him like the plague because he is. And always, always, always, Gina and Wayne, it's all for you. Be there in a couple of minutes, Victoria later.
