Head-ON With Robyn Roxanne Kincaid - Head-ON With Roxanne Kincaid, 1 April 2026, Prayer Meetin' Wednesday

Episode Date: April 2, 2026

This evening, after the program was over, I stepped outside and saw the moon through skating clouds. Full and round, she shone down on these hills and I saw her as I hadn't seen her in decades. As I looked up, I remembered a child-me, looking at the moon and saying "We're on our way!"

The password is Rasp. It's showtime. Here we go, live from behind the cornbone curtain. It's head-on with Roxanne Kincaid. Three hours of cussin and discussin 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.net. And now, from high in the hills of West by God, Virginia, here she is, Roxanne Kincaid. Well, howdy. And here we go, off and running on this first day of April, 2006. It's April Fool's Day. You'll get none of that for me. I don't go in for that kind of thing. I saw yet another, yet another trans. woman posting her. Well, I'm going to detransition post.

And I'm like, no, no, no, no, not going to do that. And besides, we have enough, we have enough foolery to last a lifetime of late, hereabouts. Yeah. Oh, quick program note, we have and have had for about an hour and a half. now thunderstorms rolling through the hills and hollers of almost level west by cold trump jinnia stand and the power's been doing the blinky blinky thing and the internet's been doing the blinky blinky thing so uh just supposedly they're going to uh diminish or dissipate or end after another half an hour or so.

But, you know, the standard disclaimer applies. Oh, hi, I'm Roxanne. The standard disclaimer applies, if the program should suddenly disappear, your humble hostess has not thrown a fit and stomped her dainty little feminine feet and run off into the mansion for some unknown reason. No. No, it'll be the weather. Yeah.

But it is. It is a prayer meeting Wednesday, and the first day of April. Yeah. No, no, no one's detransitioning, Micah. It was an April Fool's prank by a lady who is recently, well, who is presently recovering from her. SRS and it was like yeah no you're not you kind of can't now but no there's

the only the only the only pranks I'm worried about right now I know Micah no time for that shit no apparently the goddess of irony had brunch with the great big bearded juvenile delinquent in the sky and

and she apparently convinced him to start Passover on April Fool's Day. So we've got that. We've got that going for us. Yeah. I mean, whatever. But, again, thunderstorms and poor little shadow. Poor little fella.

Poor big fella. I mean, he's big. You need more than 100 pounds. but when the thunder comes, he's just a scared little puppy. And so he runs into Auntie's room and curls up on the bed next to Auntie. And Auntie tells him that everything's going to be okay. It's just thunder. It's all right.

And he gets petted and loved. I think it makes him feel better. The treats, sir, certainly do. Apparently cheese makes thunderstorms bearable. I'm sorry, you know, I'm besotted. I'm besotted with the golden one. And it's like, it, hmm.

You just, oh, who, yeah. Yes. Yeah, that is. is Micah. But, well, it is the first day of the month. That means Bruce and Karen's memorial challenge is on the table. And if we can raise $300, we will get our fundraising goal down to fundraising deficit, down to $1,000. And every program here at the Horn begins with gratitude. This program is no different. Oh, well, that's sweet.

I just got a note from Victoria. It's kind of cute, really. She is very, very hesitant. She loves Resident Evil, the video game, but she's hesitant to play it when I'm not there. And so I just got a note from Victoria saying, I'm listening to the show to come. comfort me while I explore the horrors of Resident Evil 8.

My little sweetheart. Then from Reverbo, there are times when you might think, you know, my dog isn't getting enough cheese. And, well, if you ask the golden one, he will tell you that that is a perpetual state. But as I said, every program here at the Horn begins with gratitude.

And so thanks go out for this first day of the month to our day one of the month subscribers and contributors via PayPal. That means thank you to Khalil and thank you Joseph. And thank you Mark and Tom in Sunny San Rafael. Thank you all for being partial sponsors of the program. And thanks to, well, of course I told them Victoria. It's adorable. You're adorable. I think it's terribly, terribly sweet.

And if I were there, I would be sitting right next to the screen. Look out! No, you don't need me doing that. But thank you so very kindly to Charlie at APS Radio News. Charlie took us all the way down to a... to the month of March finishing at only $1,000 deficit.

That's just three and one-third days unfunded. And that's profound. So add to that the 300 for today, $1,300. But if we meet Bruce and Karen's Memorial Challenge, we're only $700 bucks away. So that's

so helpful. And Charlie, your notes just touch me so deeply. You're so kind, and your expressions of what this program means are just so moving. They really do. They touch me, and they mean a lot to me. But make no mistake, when Charlie is feeling snarky,

he can do that too. Charlie sent a note off to one of the stations that runs the program of the life support system for a haircut, you know, the Hannity job, and issued a rather cutting remark. To whom it may concern, I think I am mystified. Over the years, Mr. Hannity has been a cheerleader for various wars. and now, of course, he is a vigorous cheerleader for the U.S. and Israel's attacks on Iran. May I make this suggestion? Although his age is advanced for such things, may I suggest that Mr. Hannity enlist in the armed forces?

If his age is such that he would disqualify for armed service, surely Mr. Hannity could fulfill some role in the military. And concerning policies of Spain, et cetera, may I suggest that Israel's and the U.S.'s attacks on Iran have constituted violations of international, law. I'm sorry that the FCC does not revoke licenses on the basis of lack of balance and the basis of pervading false and stupid perspectives as well as pervasive lives. Signed, disgusted listener. Way to go, Charlie. Way to go. Punch back. Yes, you're right. An energetic ramalama ding-dong for Charlie. Yes.

And let's see, checking Lee in New York, Resident Evil. The game's not as bad as Resident Evil White House. That's true. Apparently it's okay to work toward the demise of the creepy hellbeasts, you know, in Resident Evil.

Yeah. and as to Passover, Lee adds, It has not started yet. Sunset! It starts for me before it even starts in your area. The Yellow Cap Coke is kosher for Passover. Now, when I was buying kosher for Passover, Coca-Cola, back in the go-go late 80s in Atlanta,

it just had a regular red Coke top on it, but you knew it was made with cane sugar and not high-fructose corn syrup. I didn't know. Is that an April Fool's thing? Are you playing with me, Lee? Are you telling me that they put yellow? Because, I mean, the Israeli flag is blue and white.

But then again, those colors are kind of toxic right now, too. Yellow caps? I really do. I kind of hope that's an April Fool's thing, Lee. because it seems like that yellow denoting anything Jewish probably has a negative connotation about it you know what went on 92 years ago and all I don't know though I could be wrong

and um from from Sylvie resident evil shouldn't that be president evil? It would be, you know what, it'd be a lot of fun if somebody would come up with a hacked version or a parody version of Resident Evil and call it President Evil and, and, and, and, have a, no, I don't want to take, I don't want to take that much of a run at dinner in the Eastern Daylight Time Zone quite yet. I mean, I've already been critiqued by Dave in the Blind in the last couple of days.

that our efforts at ruining dinner were substandard. Well, apparently Lee was not April Fool's pranking me. So, yeah, those are the kosher for Passover Cokes. I'll be dipped. I wonder when they started doing that. Because, like I said, I don't remember them having yellow caps back in the late 80s. Oh, I was probably, it was probably deeply insensitive, of me, but I would buy several cases and just stack them in the closet of my apartment because

I hate high-fructose corn syrup, and I have for a long time. And it was nice to have the real thing. I mean, it's their marketing motto, slogan, what have you. Yeah. And, well, thank you. Thank you, Ralph. uh... ralps is one of the sponsors of bruce and terran's memorial challenge and she just added an extra twenty five bucks uh... for uh... well this is fun

mike johnson caves on senate's dh s deal jacko johnson always chickens out uh... after after trying to get some nice old-fashioned stochastic terrorism going against john thune in the senate uh... for having to be a good-huh the temerity to pass a bill through the Senate that would get TSA workers working again. Well, yeah, upstanding God fear and Southern Baptist ordained minister, brother, pastor, Mulla, Moses, Mike Johnson,

having declared the DHS funding bill a crap sandwich, well, today he knuckled under, gave in, and gave up, and so the bill will presumably become law. About the, let's see, other program notes real quick. You know, the launch of the Artemis II rocket is supposed to take place at approximately 6.24 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, I think, which is about an hour from now. With your kind indulgence, I'll take the audio of it, because I think probably most of us are going to watch it, especially those of us who grew up in the golden era. of America's space age. So I'll try to pick the audio up for that

a few minutes before launch. Don't let me get caught up in a filler oxster and forget. And I'm sorry I'm such a... I'm sorry I'm such a pessimist. I'm just really, really hoping that this band of incompetence, twits, and fools doesn't fuck this up because, well, this is a launch by committee. Jeff Bezos' Dick Rocket Company has had a hand in it.

Leon Scum's Dick Rocket Company has had a hand in it. Boeing's Dick Rocket Division has had a hand in it. I mean, it's kind of a billionaire vanity project. And I worry about the souls who are probably, at this, point in time already in the vehicle running through pre-launch and stuff they had their they had their last meal i mean breakfast uh earlier today and uh spent today preparing um so we'll we'll check in we'll check in on that uh all arlo fresh christopher in Oregon says royal prince arlo's entourage arrived today in the grooming van

to pamper him with the full spa treatment. He is very clean, fresh, and smells pleasantly florable. Happy prayer meet and Wednesday, Horn family. And all the best to our brave Artemis astronauts today, here, here. And Sylvie notes, and I wish all my observant friends at Guthpessach, Chagpessach, Samach, sorry, not one of my stronger language pronunciations. But yes, I concur.

And by the way, after the program last night, I had a message from Sylvie. I don't know what happened to it. I wanted to share it because it was really, really good. Let me drill down for a minute. There it is. Since it is prayer meeting Wednesday, and Sylvie sent this along last night just shortly after airtime closed. A Prayer for Orange Jesus.

our furor who farts in depends hollowed be thy frame thy kings revealed Epstein files unsealed online as they are in Congress grift us this day our daily dread

and forgive our trepidation as we forestall your moves against us lead us not to end this nation but deliver us from your evil for to whine is your power your fake kingdom and lawsuits endure forever. Amen. Quality stuff that, Sylvie.

Yeah, and let's see. Well, about the password. Rasp. Well, that refers, of course, to the voice of the regrettable United States Solicitor General. I'm speaking, of course, about Hacksaw Jack Sauer, whose vocal stylings, the members of our most puissant, dread sovereign, supreme Catholic majesties,

had to endure today. The only thing that could make listening to Jack Sour worse is if he was being translated by whalehead, dead bear, brainwarm lamprey. If that were the case, I think my ears would have started bleeding by the end of proceedings today and in an extremely unusual move and in an attempt to try

to intimidate the court I mean I think you could make a colorable charge if the court had not given nitwit narrow blanket immunity from criminal prosecution during his presidency don't worry they'll change that as soon as he's out of office

he probably could have been charged with trying to intimidate the court. Because he showed up for the Barbara case today, wherein the justices heard the arguments and vocal stylings of the rasping of hexawed Jacksauer, as he tried to explain why the 14th Amendment doesn't say what the 14th Amendment says. and there was a lot of blathering about a previous case in which the court was crystal clear that anyone born on the United States soil is an American as long as they're subject to the jurisdiction thereof

and counsel for the plaintiffs did an excellent job just completely deconstructing Hacksaw Jack and making him sound like the idiot that he is. But yeah, Nitwit Niro was there. I wonder if he got a front row seat. I cannot express how unusual it is to the point of this being

a one-off for the President of the United States to, well, to ditch the dignity of the office and go to watch oral arguments in the Supreme Court. He was trying to project the idea that his branch, the executive, is superior to that of the judiciary. But in the end, all he succeeded to do it, all he succeeded in doing,

was to diminish the presidency. It was disgusting. and after Hacksaw Jack had completed his presentation and had been questioned pretty brutally by the justices well lo and behold

he scampered off yes he scampered no sooner was Hacksaw Jack done and he got up and waddled out of the out of the courthouse because among other things none other than

old balls and strikes Chief Justice John Roberts put a shot right across Hacksaw Jack's bow because well Hacksaw Jack is another filthy, racist, fascist piece of shit doing the bidding of his filthy racist piece of shit daddy

and he he argued to the court we're in a new world where 8 billion people are one plane right away from having a child who's a U.S. citizen responding to him old balls and strikes look at him and said

it's a new world it's the same constitution and nitwit Niro got up and clattered out on his dainty little feet with the lifts in his shoes. What a stupid argument to make?

We're in a new world where 8 billion people are one plane right away from having a child who's a U.S. citizen. So I take that to mean that he's saying that 8 billion people

is the population of planet Earth and apparently they're all women and they're all pregnant and they're all just itching to get to the United States of Merca. It did not go well for Hacksaw Jack today. Among other things, Frat boy Neil offered up a question to Hacksaw Jack,

asking, Do you think Native Americans are birthright citizens under your test? To which Haxaw Jack responded, I think so. I have to think that through. I have to think it. Yeah. A guy, someone named Reb Maisel, who is a lawyer, posted in response to the quote, arguing in front of James Cameron about shipwrecks.

Is the Titanic a shipwreck? It's a trick question. I was not aware you would ever bring this up. The analogies are quite sparkling. Showing up. And this was Billy Binion, Reason magazine. Showing up to oral arguments

unprepared for a Gorsuch question on Native Americans is like going to Costco for paper towels and being shocked. You leave $300 poorer with a vat of mayonnaise the size of a small child. We all saw this coming. I mean, another

Eric Michael Garcia, the DC Bureau Chief at the Independent and a columnist for MS. Now said, how the hell you're going to not come prepared for a question about natives when Justice Gorsuch is on the court, and the best possibly. He answered this like a server answering the question,

do you have soy milk? Yeah, it's worth hearing in real time, if only because I had to listen to Hacksaw, Jack, and so do you. Do you think Native Americans today are birthright citizens under your test and under your friend's test? I think so. I mean, obviously, they've been granted citizenship by statute. Put aside the statute. Do you think they're birthright citizens? No, I think the clear understanding that everybody agrees in the congressional debates

is that the children of tribal Indians are not birthright citizens. I understand that's what they said. But your test is the domicile of the parents. And that would be the test you'd have us applied today, right? Yes, yes. So a tribal Indian, for example, gives up allegiance to... born today, birthright citizens? I think so on our test. They're lawfully domiciled here.

I'm not sure. I have to think that through, but that's my reaction. I'll take the yes. That's all right. Jesus Christ. This gang of contemptible incompetence,

fascists, all kinds of discussions today about use solace and you sanguine and this was all settled God

146 years ago but well they have a reason and as I sat there listening to these proceedings because of course you can't see the Supreme Court

I always raise this issue because it just pisses me on You can't see our most puissant dread sovereign supreme Catholic majesties in the act of doing what they do. No, it's as though they get to hide behind a curtain just like the Wizard of Oz. Silence! Yeah. But as I listened to this all, I began sort of considering it all, in pari materia with other things this vulgar maladministration is doing.

Like, for instance, the argument being made by mayonnaise-mouthed Stephen Miller, that he wants 100 million less people in America. Or he wants 100 million deportations. 100 million out of 350 million Not quite a third But close enough to make us wonder Well gee How is he going to keep the economy going that way

With a hundred less million less people In the country Working Making the country go And then I figured it out What all this birthright citizenship bullshit is? is a workaround. It's a workaround because their real target

is the 13th Amendment because babies who are born here and do not have birthright citizenship are essentially stateless. Mexico has birthright citizenship. If you are

born in Mexico, you're Mexican. Canada has birthright citizenship. If you're born in Canada, you're Canadian. In fact, Mexico's birthright citizenship may actually go back further than ours does. Ours was officially established by the 14th Amendment, Section 1, but it was a codification of Mary Oldie English common law going back to the Middle Ages. Lots of talk today about the sovereign and sovereign states and whatnot, but it's worth remembering what it actually means.

For instance, consider Bishop Willard Romney. Well, his daddy was a Mexican. Because of Mexican birthright citizenship, Willard Romney's daddy, having been born in Mexico, was a Mexican citizen, and when his Mormon family crossed back into Arizona from Mexico, they were, well, what does this gang call them? Invaders!

But we won't talk about that because the Romney's are nice white people. But yeah, the Mormons went back and forth across the Mexican border. They were Mexican, and they said, no, we're American now. And then there's John McCain. We had to craft a legal fiction for John McCain because John McCain's father, John McCain, an admiral in the United States Navy,

was actually posted to the United States Canal Zone when John was born. The only problem was he was not born in the Canal Zone. He was born on Panamanian soil. and his father was not a diplomat. And Barack Obama had the common decency not to raise the issue. We talked about it here. But that's probably what inspired Nitwit Niro.

And by the way, if you're wondering, you know who he was thinking about, Tangerine Tiberius as he sat there in the Supreme Court? He was thinking about Barack Obama, because he is still convinced that Barack Obama, that Barack Obama is not a born citizen of the United States and part of this whole thing is a sick desire to reanimate the birth certificate question

and the he's really a Kenyan question the irony being totally lost on nitwit Nero that his mother was actually illegally in the country when she got knocked up with little Donnie because she had entered the country illegally in the first place on a vacation visa. And she was never on vacation. She was looking for work and looking for a hobby.

And she found it in the form of that disgusting racist clansman, Fred Trump. Mitwit Niro's three eldest children were all conceived, before melanoma Trump became a citizen. Yeah. And she, of course, entered the United States fraudulently on a genius grant

when she was a genius girlfriend to Jeffrey Epstein. So that's part of it. But the biggest part of it is the workaround is to get at the 13th Amendment and turn America back into a slave nation again. Because a stateless baby with no citizenship,

well, then you imprison them for being illegally here. And the 13th Amendment says you can then impose upon them involuntary servitude upon conviction of a crime. that's what this is about and the racist whining about 8 billion people I didn't know we had an aircraft that held 8 billion people

goddamn runway it'd have to be the the combined length of Missouri and Kansas width perhaps and so by the way Bill Will Rick says front row seat

yes nitwit Nero had a front row seat, he entered the courtroom through a side door accompanied by Jojo Blondie and Howard Nutlick. That's disgusting. All you had to do is say that, and suddenly dinner in the Eastern Daylight time zone is in profound jeopardy. And Jeremy says melanoma is only mother to big old boron, not the other two youngest. Are you Well, no Right, right, right

No, I understand Yeah, that's But IWankah wasn't a citizen either I mean, Ivana, Ivana When she bore Those three spawned It's all a ginormous fuck-up Because Trump himself is a ginormous fuck-up

Yeah Micah said, yeah, make them stateless, Imprison them, and boom, legal slaves under the 13th. What do I win? You win a really big surprise on 420, Miss Micah. That's what you win. And, by the way,

Victoria said, Hacksaw Jack, R.FK. Jr.? Who are strangling? Who's strangling these people? They're not trying hard enough. Please, God, there better not be any surprises then. No, Micah, it'll, uh, it'll, it'll, it's just kind of surprising.

when you kind of wake up and go. Oh. And by the way, somewhere around the week of looking at the calendar here, somewhere around the week of the 27th, 28th, 20th, 30th, and 1st of May, your humble Ostice will be broadcasting live from Columbus, the Buckeye State. I'll be hanging out with Ms. Micah

and Ms. Riley. Big day of coming. From Sylvie, RFK is only partly right. No, 8 billion people are only 8 billion people. That was actually Hacksaw Jack Sauer, but Sylvie

points out, no, 8 billion people are only a plight and right away from spreading a contagious disease. Get vaccinated. Now. and I do need to go and check and see if there's a COVID vaccine available because it's been a while and I would really like to not get this latest variant that he apparently even has the ability to jump immunities that suck

Dave in the blind pointing out not only is this the beginning of Passover it's the high holy day for comedians the gods of humor and the gods of tragedy, rejoice today. Roxanne, it's April Fool's Day. And we're all living with enough for April's to give us the fantastic motion for blonde. And your text to speech was a little less than spot on there, Dave. P.S., the shop will be moving to Winchester, Indiana soon. That's good news.

Hopefully, we close within a week. Now back to your regularly scheduled merriment. Pass the toilet paper. Yeah. There is nothing funny about April. Now, if, say, a year from now, and I'm proven wrong about January the 21st, 2027, if he, well, okay, let's just examine this as a hypothetical. If nitwit Niro acceded to the wishes of nature, and got called home to hell on April 1st of any year,

how many of us would believe it? It's got to be in April fools, right? You see what a conundrum that could create? Cynthia says, I got my COVID booster about two weeks ago, so there's something out there to be had. Well, you live in civilization. I might have to get permission from whalehead, dead bear, brainworm, lamprey, and fatty, Patty the pill,

pushing Trent and Troll. Big difference between California and poor little West Virginia. But I'm glad you got your booster, Cynthia. I really am. And apparently the severe thunderstorms will be passing here in the next, oh, 10 minutes or so. And that gives us a fighting chance. A lot of the Supreme Court watchers are feeling a little bit, well, upbeat about today's Supreme Court arguments.

Some even going so far as to say, I wonder how close to 9 to nothing this is going to get. Well, come on. Clarence pubes on the Coke can Fappy Thomas and Sammy Badbreath are always there. Frat boy Neil may vote against nitwit Nero. And the handmade mite too. It doesn't seem like the Chief John. justice is terribly receptive.

That turns it into 6.3, and it becomes a question of how drunk beer boof and brat and his law clerks squee and quiff are when it comes time to tally the votes in their deliberations. But Andrew Weissman is one of those optimists over at MS now. Those same conversations with this committee. That failed, Eastman and others involved. disbarb. That is the ultimate ignomity for a lawyer, and yet he is the one pushing these fringe arguments heading towards the Supreme Court tomorrow. I'm joined by Andrew Weissman, former FBI General Counsel, Mueller prosecutor, and former federal prosecutor. Welcome, Andrew. There's the link here as a way to think about it, because Eastman's embrace of this argument tomorrow was so

fringe that, as I mentioned, I want to read a little more of what Bill Barr said, that Trump cited Eastman to Barr, quote, someone who had this great idea about how you could eliminate birthright citizenship. I told him that was wrong. Trump kept invoking Eastman. I asked Eastman to come over to my office and explained to me, and he did a very good job of it. This was at a time where people were testifying about that crime spree. We all lived through it. does it matter and is it revealing that it's this kind of figure pushing this tomorrow? You know, it's one of those things where it could matter if there was any merit to this, but I love the way that you phrased this because, you know, I hate to go out on a limb and predict

what's going to happen, but let's just say widely, widely within the legal community, the question is, how close to 9-0 will this decision be against the administration? And it's a real sign of where we are that something that, as you correctly said, was so fringe, is now in front of the Supreme Court. Every single judge, every single one that has had this issue, including judges appointed by Republican and, Democratic presidents have rejected it. The first judge, I believe, to hear this, asked the DOJ lawyers, where were you when someone came up with this idea? Where were the lawyers in the room to say, you've got to be kidding me? This really is the kind of thing that, you know, the first year of law school, you would be able to look at this and go, that's not going to win.

And so it is correct to really think about why we are here. And more than that, why would somebody want to push this idea? In other words, who are you appealing to by taking this position? So when you're going to go to part two, I'll let you speak to that. But we'll put this back up on the screen, which is part one. When it says all persons born here are citizens, for a country like the United States, which was founded by immigrants and has this policy, there's no mainstream or counter precedent that all persons born here are citizens

doesn't mean what it says. I mean, some language changes over time, but this is pretty clear cut, Andrew. And then go on to your point two, please. Sure. Well, I want to make sure people understand what the administration's saying. One of the things that they are saying is that even if your parents are legally here, let's say they are here and they have green cards. and they're in graduate school just to put it in an academic setting, so I feel comfortable.

And while they're here in school studying math or law, and they have a child, they're saying, no, no, no, that doesn't work because it's temporary. And so it means that even though the child is born here, that the Constitution somehow you should read into it language that does not exist. And so it's not just saying that if someone came to the country illegally and had a child here that they shouldn't have citizenship, although the language of the Constitution is they do. If you're born here, you're born here, period. It doesn't matter how your parents got here. And so this is one where I actually am viewing this very much as a litmus test for the Supreme Court justices to see, are there any justice?

who are going to be so enamored of the Trump administration that they're willing to actually say that this position is lawful, because it is one that has never, ever been accepted by any court, ever in the history of this amendment. We don't do a lot of predictions, but when I look to past cases, Thomas and Alito have been quicker to embrace, losing fringe arguments, even to their own legal disrepute for whatever their reasons are. I don't know, as you say, whether this is enticing to them. But more broadly, the Trump administration seems intent on pushing these things to send their messages, even when they know it's losing. I'll also mention that the ACLU has said, I'm just looking at this note,

that they view this as an effort to change the demographics of the U.S. to really get more, if they were to win it, to get more control racially, is the allegation, at least from the ACLU. Yeah, and even if they were to not prevail, because I don't think they will, I agree with the ACLU that that is a perfectly legitimate theory as to why this is happening. but even if they don't prevail, it is still signaling that kind of xenophobia and racism to appeal.

Yeah, and it is. That's the problem. This is a racist, fascist, Nazi, or at least Nazi-adjacent administration, and they're going to do Nazi or at least Nazi-adjacent things. Yeah. Flavio pointing out, You Solis, my two youngest siblings were born in East Lansing, Michigan

when my father was getting his doctorate at MSU. Does that make them no longer Americans? Ridiculous. It absolutely is. But you have to remember, racists are, you know, isn't it funny that any time you hear about white supremacy and you see a white supremacist,

there is absolutely nothing supreme about them? they're the most idiotic, toxic, stupid, ugly chuds ever to disgrace a camera lens? Yeah! I mean, they wear those hoods. The clansmen wear those hoods because they're so inbred ugly. But there's no doubt that they are terrified of the browning of America, these maggots. Because deep down, they're absolutely convinced that if the people that, white people have tormented for generations ever get power that they're going to torment right back,

and that is such utter and absolute undeniable horseshit. Yeah. From Cynthia, me too. And I hear you about living in a superstitious less than third world and developed a backward state. Unfortunately, there's a lot going on of that going around, and it'll always be beyond my understanding why. I mean, hey, we've been to the moon, and it wasn't praying that God. us there, let alone anti-vax shit, and for anyone watching the Artemis coverage, you could not help but notice that the launch crew interacting with the astronauts were all wearing masks. Like hell, they want to get any of them sick when they're out in space.

They've been, yeah, Cynthia, they've been in quarantine for a week, for good reason. I know that it seems like they're on every street corner, but I'm pretty sure Leon Scum hasn't put a CVS in CVS in. space yet. And from Gino, booster. I got the booster last week in Utah, no questions asked, very much in contrast to September when I needed a prescription and had to fill out a bunch of forms.

I think it's really loosened up. Unfortunately, the present formulation doesn't appear incredibly effective against the new variant. But it's something. Well, yeah, it is something, and the new variant isn't the only variant that's going around, right, Gino? I also

suggest prophylactic doses of good quality brown liquor, Gino. It's always a good time to remind folks that for all of its Ballyhoo over all the Ballyhoo over Pappy Van Winkle. Old Weller Antique 107 uses the same Mashville. so it's man just keep that in your hip pocket geno yeah not a prank I'll be darned the full moon that's rising

this evening with the launch approaching is in fact a pink moon and every time I see pink moon I think of the late great musician Nick Drake

who wrote a song called Exactly That I don't think we'll be seeing the pink moon here because of cloud cover that's what you get when you live in a temperate rainforest a lot of clouds and rain but I am

monitoring the NASA feed to see what's going on with the launch let's check in real quick. Take a look at all the people there, getting ready to witness history together. It's something really special to be able to witness something like this together.

Yeah, you know, we've heard from celebrities and officials and kids. And, you know, it's just, it's amazing. People from all around the world came here today to Florida to watch. So it's, it's something, it's hard to put into words, just how much support for this mission we're seeing today. And great news, too. remember the team was tracking an issue with the launch of board system battery they appear to have they appear to have cleared that issue so we are go for launch yes it's exciting good lord the chat screen to the right center here huntsville alabama waving to the artemus two crews sitting right there inside of all over the world inside of 20 minutes from the opening of our launch window and right now we are targeting the top of that launch window so we could be launching here in about 19 minutes Nicole.

Wow, I... Okay, I just saw one of the astronauts log into his iPad and they actually showed him inputting his passcode into the screen. Maybe that wasn't such a great idea. Yeah. I think people need something to believe in that speaks to human ambition. And I so sincerely hope that the maggots don't fuck this up. Cynthia asking, do you think Trump's watching, given the woke DEI crew?

Well, the crew and the ground crew as well. I mean, there's at least one woman like us, Cynthia, who's very deeply involved in the launch. Let's check. I mean, we're getting quite. Close. About 18 minutes to launch now. Let's check back into the audio. Got them there today. So proud of them. We love them. We're excited for them. And we cannot wait to see what they see. Just leveraging everything we've learned so far as an agency,

taking us from Apollo. Now to the launch pad here, 39B with Orion and SLS poised to again fly us into the history books. And before we leave you now, here at the hostess to get back into operations. We just wanted to answer one question for you guys. We asked you earlier on today, what are you most excited for? And we asked you to go vote on Instagram and Twitch. Instagram, you guys said launch, Twitch, you guys said lunar flyby. So I think you guys will all be very excited since we are now about 17 minutes from the opening of our launch window today. And so with that, as we approach terminal count, let's send it back to Darryl now in firing room one. Daryl.

All right. Thank you, Megan and Nicole, and I just want to give you update on the launch abort system that you just reported that they cleared. They believe, they're convinced. This is an instrumentation failure. So there are two batteries on the last. The last, of course, and with the help of my two-year-old sons model rocket, Daniel said I could use this, so it's okay. The last is right here. It's the tower above Orion. Orion, Orion, California, capsule is inside of here. It's used to pull Orion off the rocket in case the rocket is something going on with a rocket, either on the pad or in flight. Two batteries are bad. Well, I'm sorry, one of the two batteries reported an out-of-family temperature, and it was very much out-of-family.

And so they checked their data going back into the vehicle assembly building where they recharged the batteries and worked on them. And they have good, solid data, they reported, that tells them that this is an instrumentation failure, that there's something wrong with the sensor. And so they took it before the mission management team, which has to accept the risk, any changes to launch commit criteria, which this would be one, and they all fully accepted it. So now we are clear as far as that constraint is concerned. And one quick thing, as we count down now, we are getting into the final minutes before liftoff. There's a two-hour window. We haven't quite set the T0 yet, but this is a list of the cutouts.

There are 150 cutouts that are included for this two-hour launch window. And that's important. They're in very small print. That's important because there's basically 16 minutes inside this window that they cannot launch. And these are because of small things flying in orbit. There's a lot more things in orbit than there were back in Artemis 1 when we had 35 to 40 cutouts. out. So that, for that reason, because of these 156 cutouts, they're going to be managing the launch window as we go forward. So they may have to wait out one of these cutouts. They range in time

between two seconds to 23 seconds. But you'll hear the NASA test director talk through that. We're getting ready to merge that loop from NASA test director. Jeff Spalding. Oh, and one other little observation. Nitwit Nero is going to address the nation tonight at 9 p.m. supposedly about the Iran war, his war against, his war of choice against Iran.

Curious he would choose, one, April Fool's, and two, the date of our attempt to return to the moon, my God, every, he always has to have the attention on him. I got better ratings than our moon like. What do you think he's going to do? Is he going to declare victory and leave?

Or is he going to say that we've already invaded Iran? Sickening. Back to mission control. NASA test director Jeff Spalding confirming communications with his team. There will be two polls that will hear. One from Spalding, the NASA test director, confirming the ground system. and the launch team are ready to proceed.

At this point, we have a clear board, no constraints, but we need confirmation from each individual on the NASA test director team. So we'll hear him poll his team. The other poll that we're waiting for is the poll from launch director Charlie Blackwell Thompson, who will take that final status from NASA management before giving the go to come out of a hold. And you're seeing the clock count down at L-1-1-C-C-L-E-C-L-E-C-L-E-S-L-L-E-R-E-S-L-O-T-R-E-E-R-S-L-E-R-S-L-E-R-S-L-E-R-S-L-E-R-S-L-L-E-E-R-S-L-LV-E-E-R-E-E-R-E-E-Lves are being closed at this time. Integrity, copies.

N-G-D-LP. Go. Yes, I have a discussion with CI and with MER manager regarding the observation the CI's had a few minutes ago. They were able to confirm the BCI photos of the condition that they observed has been there since 2025. MIR manager has been 57 years since I've been this excited. From either a CIS or MIR manager perspective.

Okay. Copy all. Anoninale instructor entity, do you copy? Yes, sir. I copy that's good news. OTC, CCL212. OTC. ARIRS primary loop isolation valve configuration is complete.

Copy. And CGLS NTD, cancel pending please. TLSC copies and that's complete. All right, and for all personnel, we got a little bit more work to do before we pick up the clock and we're about a little over a minute from getting to T minus 10 minutes, but we've canceled the resume time there and then we'll pick it up after we get through all of our work and anything else that we need to do to get through the remainder of counts. So we'll continue working that to get to our TZRTZE.

to get to our T-0 today. 10 of the longest minutes on Earth. So when we get to about 50 seconds from now, we'll extend that hold. CVS EOTC. What did John Glenn say in 1962? I realized I was sitting on top of a giant bomb that had been built by the lowest bidder. Someone to start the CMA-2 streaming. Copy.

NPD COSE hold requested. Copy that. I have an LCC violation of O-C-T-0-004 S-band Transpander anomaly. This was a transient LCC violation, so transponder 1 had a demodulated SNR estimate that went down to 2, DBM. When it should have been between 10 and 13, it is now back up to 12, but we did lose that for just a moment. It does not appear that we lost our BITSink or carrier lock, which would be indicative that we

lost our lock with the vehicle. So at this point, recommendation would still be go. However, we do have a pre-planned contingency procedure if we want to look at that. But again, this is transient, so we're back in a nominal range. All right, let's see LPE NTD. Yeah, we're not seeing that hit. So I guess a question for COIC. Was that less than three samples? Does that be low our persistence? Stand by. Let me look. It did look like it did persist for several seconds online, but let me take a look at the number of samples. Could I get a

repeat on the affected LCC, please. Yes, ma'am, that's going to be O-C-T-004. Thank you. By the way, the head of the fire control team in the launch room is a trans woman. Don't tell Mitt Witt Nero. You know, compared to 57 years ago, the Saturn 5 rocket was so pristine and beautiful and white. And I understand why... Yeah, I'm taking a look at the data right here.

I understand why the rocket has that oxidized coating on it. I get it. Same thing with the New River Gorge Bridge. It's protective. But Artemis kind of looks like something we built from a junkyard. Sorry. And COSC, while we're doing that, these are 1-10th-hertz measurements, correct? So we would have had to lose it for over 10 seconds to get a second sample? Yes, sir, that's correct. It is 1-10th hertz. Yeah, so from our perspective, the allowance is effectively up to, you know, 30 seconds, up to three samples based on the 1-10th Hertz.

This is not an LCC violation, I believe. Yes, sir. I would agree with that at this point. To copy that. Check in with KUS and 232, I don't think they have 212 access. We're trying to verify, but it sounds like they have a loss of lock as well. About two seconds. And I guess for both KUS and COSC, do we have lock now?

That's affirmed. We do have lock for COSE. Yeah, so from the integration console perspective, we did have a temporary loss there within the allowings. there within the allowable and per the requirement, let's go. And this Houston Flight. We have lock and we have good telemetry here in GSE. And KUS is reported to they have good lock now. So with all of that OSCE then are we in a go configuration per your LCC?

Yes sir. Recommendation would be go. All right. LPE you concur with that? Yes sir. LPE concurs go. And Launch Director. Yes, sir. And Launch Director concurs go. All right and I'm going to go ahead and just verify everybody has everything. everybody has everything else complete launch director and if we do we'll be ready to pick up the poll at that time

unless there's something else that you're aware of no sir let's verify all our work is complete and I would like one last check of our constraints list all right let's see OTC are you still waiting for Com config or are you that is a firm sir okay you only open item yeah OTC this CVA that four and step 290 is complete copy okay so OTC you're complete with all your work Looking at launch control and there's not a crew cut in the room. STC is complete. And GTC? GTC is complete.

Okay, excellent. All right, and LPE, I just want to verify we have no open constraints at this time. No open constraints. We have a clear board, sir. Okay, tracking the same here. And launch director, with that, we are clear and ready to pick up the launch readiness poll with your go. All right, sir, I am go for the poll. All right.

And for all personnel, this is the NPD conducting the Artemis 2, launch readiness check. Verify ready to resume count and go for launch. OTC. OTC is Go. STC. STC is Go. GTC. MCO.

CIO is Go. Safety Consul is Go. LPE. LPE is Go. RTD. RTD.D. R2D. Houston Flight.

Houston Flight is Go. Rock. Rock is go. And CDR. Copy that. Thank you, Reed. And launch director, NPD. Our launch team is ready to proceed at this time. All right, NPD. I copy all. At this time I'll perform my poll. Attention on the net. This is the launch director performing the final poll for launch, verify no constraints, and go for launch. EGF, EGS, program chief engineer.

All the Ms. Chief Engineers or go. Copy. Thank you. EGF. Chief Engineer. G.S. Chief Safety Officer. The Artemis CSOs are GO. Happy, thank you, Range Weather. Launch weather is GO. Thank you, LWO. And Artemis, MMT Chair. MMPT is GO.

Thank you, John. And Integrity, Launch Director. LPLT. Thank you, Charlie. This is Victor. We are going for... This is Christina. We are going for our teammates.

MS2. MS2. This is Jeremy. We are going for all humanity. The Artemis 2 crew is go for launch. Full I copy that. Read, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy.

On this historic mission, you take with you the heart of this Artemis team, the daring spirit of the American people and our partners across the globe, and the hopes and dreams of a new generation. Good luck. Godspeed, Artemis II. Let's go. Why am I crying? An NTD and launch director. Go ahead, launch director. Yes, sir. You have a go to proceed with countdown. Copy that. I'll put it in work. CDR, NTD, figure risers, and initiate short purge

per your reproach 10.1.1, steps 8 and 9. 1.189 going to work. Copy. CBSC, NPD. Start and verify recordings of our Orion cameras. Copy. Okay. Well, there you heard it.

RSR, N-T-D. R-S-R-S-R. They're getting ready to start terminal count. NARMotation enable at this time, please. It's currently a T-minus 10 minutes. Once we wrap up this last bit of... At least I'm not alone. Reverbo said I am too.

To start that clock. Thank you. You heard an issue, worked in real time with telemetry lock on the Orion. It was transitory. It was very short. They checked the data, confirmed that they had a good lock. This was with the S-Ban transmitter on the Orion, worked through that issue, looked at the data, and cleared it. All with the world watching.

impressive work by the launch team. So we have a two-hour window, which starts in just a few minutes at 6.24 p.m. Eastern time and goes until 8.24 p.m. Eastern time. And ECL NTD will be waiting for your verification on the short purge. E.C.L. copies. And for all personnel, once we get that short purge verification, we'll verify that we are clear to go, and then we'll proceed with the terminal count. time estimate. About a minute. Copy. So we're going into the launch window,

but not by much, it looks like. Sylvie, I went to YouTube and I am on the official NASA channel. NASA's Artemis 2 crew launches to the moon, official broadcast. Ask for the ground launch sequencer operator to go ahead

and start the clock. The ground launch sequencer is an application software. It runs on top of the launch control system in the firing room. Acts like a conductor of an orchestra, executing hundreds of commands in precise order and timing. It's all autonomous. Entity, CCL-212, short purge, initiations verified.

All right, copy that, and we're verified. Cynthia says, don't ask me what my heart rate is. It's way up there. I got tingles. I got tingles. I know, especially for those of us of a certain age who last we watched this sort of thing. All right, and we're clear from cutouts.

And with that, we're going to resume the clock momentarily. And CGLLS, you can resume the clock on your mark. And Clarence says NASA launch, I remember pictures of launch control in the 60s. The room was full of white men. Today I'm getting chills and thrills listening to the diversity in the launch control room. The launch director is a woman. There's hope for humanity. And that begins terminal count.

Our new T-Zero is 630. P.m. Eastern time. 6.35 p.m. Eastern time. We are now counting down to lift off of Artemis 2. And who is the ABC guy back in the day? Not Jules Verne, not Jules Pfeiffer, but Jules Somebody. I bet you Lee will know. Directly managing the launch team.

And Alex Bendellos, the GLS operator who closely monitors the software, he has the ability to stop and restart the countdown. A lot of people ask about whether there's a launch button or certainly is not. And UDFlight and Rock, our new T-Zero is 22, 35, 12. Houston Flight, copies. 22, 35, 12. Affirm. There you heard confirmation of the exact T-0, 635 and 12 seconds p.m. Eastern time.

Again, our T-0 is 635 and 12 seconds p.m. Eastern time. But as I was saying, there's no launch button. autonomous, but there is a button that keeps you from launching, and that button allows the GLS operator to pause the countdown outside of terminal count and during terminal count and submit a hold to the next holding point. God damn it. Somebody shoot that buzzard. If there's an issue, we'll go to the next stable holding point. This is how GLS configures the rocket around systems to a fucking rocket. They can stop the countdown if that's needed. But right now, we are counting down Our next big milestone looking to retract the crew access arm.

DLS's go for crew access arm retract. And there you see the crew access arm moving away. It's real now, crew. That's the path that the astronauts took to ingress into the rocket. Until this point, that was their way off the pad if they needed to evacuate. But now with that arm retracting, the backup transitions to a launch abort system. and they'll begin arming that shortly. Of course, the launch abort system,

great shot there of the crew access arm, retracting away. The launch abort system is the tower at the top, and that's what would pull Orion and its crew off the top of the rocket in case of an emergency, whether it's on the ground or in flight. This is critical safety hardware that protects the lives of the astronauts.

I love that we still have the groovy 70s NASA logo. The GLS will start bringing that and other high-energy systems online, starting with core stage pressureization. Thank you, Kim in New York. Jules Bergman, thank you. I was going crazy here. Weather is 90% go, the range is go, all systems are go. GLS is go for core stage tank pressurization. That means the replenish valve for the liquid hydrogen tank has now closed.

and that tank is beginning to pressurize to flight levels because that hydrogen is naturally boiling inside the tank. We'll get the liquid oxygen tank a little later in the count. Now the team is waiting for verification that, if needed, the Artemis 2 crew could use the launch abort system to pull Orion safely off the top of the rocket in an emergency. Let's listen in for that call. GLS verify his last capability available.

And CDRD, you copy? CDR copies last available. That's great news, and you heard the NPD verify that with the commander of the mission. TLS is GO for FTS ARM. Now work is being done to arm the flight termination system. This is so the range safety can send a flight termination command if the rocket flies too far off track. There is a brief built-in delay so the launch abort system has time to pull the astronauts safety first. flow bleed check. All right, the high flow bleed check. That's so the cryo team gets

verification that the RS-25 engines, all four of them, are in the proper temperature range for launch. GLS is go for core stage APU start. Core stage APU start. Those are auxiliary power units, high-speed turbines which provide pressure to hydraulic pumps that steer the RS-25 engines. We're going to see a gimbal test a little later at T-minus two minutes and 30 seconds. This is what allows that to happen. Coming up in about 20 seconds, we're listening to Go for Purge Sequence 4. That's a helium purge of the four core stage engines downstream of the propellant valve. This gets all the air and moisture out of there.

GLS is Go for Perge Sequence 4. Moving through the milestones. All is looking good. Coming up in just a few seconds, we're going to get that thrust vector control actuator test. This is a gimbling of the engines. There are the four RS-25s, three of them. Shuttle Heritage, one of them built from shuttle parts. And there you see them moving.

Now we're going to start moving the power from both the upper stage and the lower stage of the rocket to internal. Taking ground power away and now going to battery power. GLS is go for upper stage to internal power. All right, power is removed from the rocket's upper stage. The ICPS, and it's been switched to battery. Same milestone for the lower core stage coming up at T-minus 1 minute and 30 seconds. Right now, the four-person Artemis 2 crew is 248,000 miles away from the moon. And if all goes well, they will fly by it in six days.

TLS is go for core stage to internal power. All right, there's the rocket's core stage. which houses three flight computers is now on its own power. There's no more hold time because there's no more margin on these batteries. So we would have to recycle back to T-minus-10 to recharge if we had a hold. One minute? Right now the rocket does not know what the T-0 is, but coming up at T-minus 33 seconds,

control shifts from the ground launch sequencer to the rocket's onboard autonomous launch sequencer or ALS. The rocket will count itself down, but honor any holds that could come from the ground. Now shortly after liftoff, Houston will take control of the rocket, and my colleague Gary Jordan will take over commentary. GLS-GELF, go for your left. Great call out. The rocket is on its own,

four brave explorers, ready to ride the most powerful rocket. NASA has ever launched. Sound suppression water is flowing. And here we go. 10. 9. 8, 7. RS-25 engines. 8.4. 3, 2, 1.

Booster ignition. And lift off. The crew of Artemis 2 now bound for the moon. Humanity's next great voyage begins. Good, roll pitch. Roger, roll pitch. Houston now controlling the flight of integrity on the Artemis 2 mission round the boat.

Integrity, AMT, high. On time passing 30 seconds into the lights. Integrity passes the ultimate beacon. Target milestone. Mission control Houston's good performance and the warming engines. Space on system core stage. Integrity, three miles and altitude. Traveling more than 1,200 miles per hour. Mission elapsed time, passing one minute, approaching Max Q. On, Ponce de Lee on.

We have you loud and clear on Ponceilly on. Have you the same? No transfer confirmed as Integrity and its Krugos Supersonic. Approaching 90 seconds into the Artemis 2 mission. Integrity is 14 miles in altitude, 8 miles down range, traveling more than 2,600 miles per hour. 1 minute 50 seconds of mission elapsed time, standing by for main engine throttle down to 85% ahead of solid rocket booster separation expected at the 2 minute 9 second mark. We see throttle down, confirmed separation.

Main engines throttling up, guidance converged. The integrity, guidance converged, performance nominal, upper stage RCS ready. The SM priming complete. Two minutes, 45 seconds of mission elapsed time into the Artemis II mission. Frusters on integrity and upper stage confirmed in a ready state, head of service module faring separation. Three minutes into the flight, integrity 49 miles in altitude, 78 miles down range, now passing 5,000 miles per hour. Standing by for Launchboard System, Jettison. Houston Integrity. Good, last jettison, great view.

Copy, Jettison. Team Eco 8 plus 02. We see you a save on board, Stan. And Houston has you loud and clear on Tegras at the Carmen line. Outstanding, Stan, we have you the same. Three minutes, 50 seconds into the flight of Artemis II, Weisman, Glover, Cook, and Hansen cross the boundary to space with good com checks. GPS signals acquired after Last Jettison now working on internal checks to verify, to verify accuracy.

Flight Dynamics Officer analyzed the time of main engine cutoff, confirmed at 8 minutes, 2 seconds, time of MECO. Integrity, GPS processing. Standing stand, we see the same, and we have a beautiful moon rise. We're headed right at it. Approaching five minutes into the flight, Commander Reed Wiseman confirms he can have visuals of his destination.

GPS guidance navigation and control software finishes internal checks and sends to navigation channels. Three engine press. Three engine press. On time, now passing 5 minutes, 20 seconds of mission elapsed time into the Artemis 2 mission. At this point, three good main engines are all that's needed to carry integrity to a nominal main engine cutoff target. Though at this time, we're seeing four good engines here in Mission Control, Houston. Integrity, 75 miles in altitude, 330 miles down range, approaching 10,000 miles per hour.

You're looking good at six minutes. Same on board, stand. Good trajectory and engine performance. Booster officer will soon. report the shutdown plan to flight director Judd Friedling expected at the seven minute mark. Integrity, 78 miles in altitude, 460 miles down range. Integrity, expect, nominal, shutdown. Integrity copies, nominal, shutdown.

Six minutes, 40 seconds of mission elapsed time. Shutdown plan is as expected. Again, the time of MECA was confirmed at 8 minutes, two seconds into the flight. Seven minutes of mission elapse time. Throttling down as we approach the abort once-around option. Milestone at the 7-minute 30-second mark. Now 84 miles in altitude, 650 miles down range, traveling more than 15,000 miles per hour.

Integrity, A-O-A open. The window is now open for an abort once-round option that would target splash down in the Pacific Ocean, still following nominal assent at this time. about 10 seconds remaining until the main engine cutoff of the space launch system core stage. Standing by for confirmation of Miko and core stage separation. Well, here to that, Kim. What Cohones, Kim in New York says.

I just can't comprehend having the courage and trust to sit on top of a rocket like that. No matter how many times NASA staff might tell me all as well, I'd never be able to trust them in the process. and from Matt in San Francisco, rocket GPS. If Elon had anything to do with the GPS, I can tell you right now, that rocket will be missing the moon, just saying. Oh my, Matt. Oh, my, Matt. The way to swing around the moon.

Core stage has separated, done its job. The space launch system upper stage, the interim cryogenic propulsion stage, or ICPS, still attached to the Orion spacecraft. Nine minutes of mission elapse time, integrity, crew of Reed Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Cook, and Jeremy Hansen, now in orbit around the Earth at the beginning of their journey to the moon. Oh, and as Cynthia points out, it's a tough day for the flat Earthers. I'm sure you saw it, the view from Artemis, the Earth ain't flat.

I can imagine this is news to some people we can think of. We can head to PRM numbers so far per the pad. That's standard numbers for the pad. Capcom and Stan loves, we're now reminding the crew that the Paragy-Rase maneuver, time of ignition is as expected prior to booster ignition, that time being 49 minutes, 50 seconds of mission elapsed time. Oh, how cool. It has a solar array. I wonder if nitwit Nero knows that. Gee whiz. It's just amazing. It'll be curious. I'll be curious. Antivity. Well, the radio transmission is good so far. Better than it was in 1969.

open on the secondary. We got to the second and a halfway open. Oh, that's true, Sylvie. Sylvie says it's obvious the Earth is not flat. If the Earth were flat, cats would have knocked everything off the edges. Passing 11 minutes of mission elapsed time. Or a giant, a giant galactic golden retriever would have come and swept far of the Earth clean with its tail. That is confirmed.

Complete. We also have the visors. confirmed up. Now, past the dynamic phase of flight that is Ascent. The, uh, their launch and entry suits, uh, that provided them an extra layer of protection. Now, not as needed. They're going to raise those visors. And later in today's mission, they will, uh, begin to egress or get out of the suits to begin some of their initial tasks of activating some of the systems aboard. in the Integrity spacecraft.

It's passing 12 minutes of mission elapsed time. Again, the Perigee Reyes maneuver that's targeted near 50 minutes of mission elapsed time, 49 minutes, 50 seconds. That's what the crew is going to be working towards the Commander Reed Wiseman pilot Victor Lover. We'll focus on preparing for that milestone. In the meantime, mission specialist,

Christina Cook and Jeremy Hansen will start some of the activation of Environmental Control Lifeseman Environmental Patrol light support systems, you may hear confirmation of their activation over the Orion to Earth communication network. In the C3Ox power back in auto. Copy C3Ox and we're two minutes to maneuver. This is breathtaking. 13 minutes and 30 seconds of mission elapsed time. We're going to continue to follow the crew of the Artemis II mission.

They are beginning their journey around the moon to verify the systems that will take us to its surface. us to its surface. An incredible assent. Artemis II is underway. Reed Wiseman and Victor Glover, Christina Cook, and Jeremy Hansen begin their journey to the moon. Still milestones to come up

as we await solar array deploy and the critical burns that will get integrity. It's a high earth orbit around the earth before engines are fired to get us around the moon. We'll keep tabs on integrity and its crew. Do you have any idea how angry nitwit Nero

is that there's not only a black guy who is the pilot, But there's a woman on the mission, too. Stoke the stroke, NASA. Stoke the stroke. We just saw Artemis II lift off 14 minutes ago. And wow, what an amazing launch and an emotional one, too, as soon as the rocket lifted off.

Nicole, you had tears in your eyes. I had tears in my eyes, and we had all these people around us cheering. It was amazing. Yeah, the energy was wonderful. I mean, it was a beautiful launch. You know, we've got four friends and family members headed to the moon. It's pretty amazing. Yeah.

How does that make you feel? someone who, you know, is an astronaut as well, but also, as you said, friends. Yeah, so so proud of them. You know, man, we don't have the words in the English language to describe this kind of an event and pride, love, so many emotions. You know, they are truly breaking some barriers, and hopefully, you know, as Gary just said, they've got a long day ahead of them, so wishing them well on everything. But so far, what a beautiful launch to watch.

Yeah, to be returning to the lunar orbit and more than 50 years. Maybe they go farther from Earth than any other humans before them. Maybe they see parts of the moon that we've never seen before. I mean, what a great start to what could be all of these milestones that we break in just a 10-day mission. Yes, what a way to welcome in the Artemis Generation. Yeah, how do you feel? I mean, we saw some beautiful shots we were covering of, of course, the rocket, of course, the Earth falling away as we continued up, up, up into our sense, but also some of those crowd shots where we saw young and old, just emotional overcome by

this history-making moment. Man, we are going back to the moon for all, and we saw that today. We saw that in all the crowds. And yeah, you guys just saw that view, the sunrise or sunset, I guess they just made it over the crest of the earth, and you could see the sun peeking over, one of my favorite views from space. And I can't imagine what they're looking at now, and I can't wait to see what they're looking at in about five or six days.

Yeah. And, you know, I know a lot of people are like, you know what, I'm surprised this. launched on the first try because we know like any little thing we have to be keeping safety in mind and we want to make sure we're ready to go but we were ready to go and I think it's surprised a lot of people what a wonderful surprise on this Wednesday evening it did you know and it kind of surprised me as well but you know it's just a testament to the team here that has been working so hard on Artemis you know Artemis 1 we learned a ton of lessons we learned a ton from the wet dress for Artemis 2 we were able to go in

fix those things we even had a couple mishaps today not mishaps but a couple you know anomalies today that the team creatively came up with solutions for. It's just a testament to the teamwork that gets us to the moon. And so we can continue to watch Christina, Reed, Victor, and Jeremy on their way now to the moon in Earth's orbit and awaiting the next in-flight milestones deploying Orion's solar arrays. So why don't we get back in with Mission Control and Gary? Hey, thank you, Megan. Again, we're following along in the action. It is a long. day they have a number of procedures they need to get to immediately in their timeline. And integrity Houston, Crosstai is on board per the Etsy Dem.

We copy Houston, thank you. Damn, that's impressive so far. Cross Tye referring to flight controllers here, initiating a connection between some of the batteries aboard the Orion spacecraft, allowing for an even distribution of power. This is the Flight control teams that took us through Ascent of the Artemis II mission today. Right now were, as you see, passing 18 minutes of mission elapsed time. The Orion spacecraft integrity and the interim cryogenic propulsion system are maneuvering tail to sun. It is in this orientation, this attitude.

So true, Sylvie. Science flies men to the moon. Religion flies men into buildings. Ding ding ding ding ding what terrifying what is being routed to his displays aboard integrity propulsion engineer confirming that no action is needed at this time

they're pressing through with their nominal procedures to prepare for the perigy rays maneuver and of course the solar array wing deploy ahead of that the solar ring wing deploy is a critical milestone will continue to to have our coverage follow the mission until that deployment. Successful launch is just the beginning. The deployment of the solar arrays and successful confirmation. Yes, we've seen Apollo 13. Solar array wings are drawing power.

It's a significant milestone and says to the flight control teams that we will continue on today's mission. Power needs to be drawn to continue through some of the next milestones. Until then, the AOA Open option that was called up upon Ascent, the aboard once around, is the current option, and the Board to Orbit option ATO will be switched to a preferred mode at the time that the solar ray wings are deployed and latched. It gives the flight control teams a little bit more flexibility. The Integrity Houston update on Tidris handover for your pad. Give us just one minute. And Stan, you can read it like this, ready to copy. Roger. Tidro's sandover east to west expected one second earlier at 5.1 minutes, 2, 6 seconds.

Right, Stan, we copy one second earlier for 5126 Tudor's east to west, and saws are starting to deploy. Thermal knives are firing. Thank you for the report. Read back of the reports that you just heard on the Orion to Earth network. Integrity has maneuvered tailed to sun. The RL10 nozzle on the end of the ICPS is pointed towards the sun, and the solar ray deployment sequence has begun. With the deployment confirmed, it will be several minutes until they are what is called in a latched position.

Once they are latched and confirmed to be drawing power, they can switch the mode to ATO and continue along the mission. The teacher's handover at the pad, that message meant the crew was provided The crew has provided some preliminary numbers of when to expect handovers between the tracking and data relay satellites. Currently orbiting Earth in an altitude of 545 statute miles above the Earth. They are in a near-Earth network communication system, the tracking and data relay satellites, geosynchronous satellites that are stationed about 23,000 miles. Do they have to dodge Elon Space junk?

After the Abidu-rays burn, that occurs later today, The burn itself will put them in an altitude that surpasses the range of the tracking and data relay satellites, and they will transition to the Deep Space Network today. And I tell you for prompt messages, we see two temperature measurements right near the line. It's a momentary message you saw earlier. We're going to suppress those. It's CM helium heater 2T1 and heater 1T1. They're going suppressed.

Integrity, thank you. We see the same. Well, Micah just answered my question. Yes, they were talking earlier about how they had a number of pause windows in the launch sequence because there's a lot more objects in space than there were during the Artemis 1 mission. Just the Artemis 1. And Micah said, I'm glad I got to watch this with you. I'm glad we got to all watch this together.

This is after a launch that began at 530, 530. 35 and 12 seconds central time 635 and 12 seconds PM Eastern time. Right now the orientation you're seeing from our arrow visualization that translates some of the telemetry that we're getting from the spacecraft and puts it into a model so you can follow along on some of the milestones that we are following here. The RL10 nozzle that you see at the left end of your screen. Though it is currently not firing that nozzle is pointed towards the sun and the solar arrays are currently deploying.

From this visualization, they look fully stowed in a position. Integrity, we are happy to report that Jeremy has the O2 sensors on. Copy O2 sensors. Again, I come in to read Wiseman and pilot Victor Glover overseeing the deployment of the solar arrays. And we'll follow the attitude maneuver changes ahead of the first burn of the ICPS engine, the Paragy Raise maneuver. And Jessica just wrote from the Greater Rochester Metropolitan Co-Prosperity Sphere and said,

well, that's three of us. I'm ugly crying in my Honda Odyssey. And Haley reminding me, yes, Jules Bergman on ABC, because strangely that was the clearest network affiliate we could get when I was young during Apollo 13, etc. Watched in glorious black and white. Yeah, we didn't get our first color TV till all. August of 1973.

Cutout, Lee, in New York says, yes, space junk is a problem. Wow. Just wow. And, you know, gee, I'm sorry Tangerine, Tiberius, but short of announcing that you're going to nuke Iran, and

I hope you don't. You're not going to get better ratings than this. I know, Mike. Don't give him ideas. Yeah, supposedly what happens at 9 p.m. will be a... An important update on Iran. Make sure and tune in. And the speculation ranges from everything in...

Well, declare victory and get out. We just put 15,000 Marines in Iran. and have no idea how to get them home. Talk about Lost Legions. Oh, during his address, Micah says, I'll be packing and washing my hair. Yes, sounds like a lovely idea. I'll probably be cooking.

I've got a marinated pork loin that I think I'll put in the oven just for post-show dinner. Yes, Randy Radar, before launch, there were some buzzards flying around. the rocket, not just the capsule, around the rockets. Yeah. Oh, and just a few things here and there. I'm, I'm tempted to wrap things up this evening just because this was just such an emotional load.

To go back to the vileness and vulgarity of the day, it seems disrespectful. But nonetheless, yeah, Jen Shaw, you probably don't remember who she is or was, but she did time in the joint with Gislane Maxwell. Speaking to People magazine, Jan Shaw said that she was there when Jislane and Jeffrey Epstein's and Trumps and others. Les Wexner, looking at you. We're talking about what they experienced at those

monster's hands. Speaking to people, like I said, Jen Shaw said, I had interactions with her, limited interactions with her. I mean, I worked at recreation, right? And so she would come in and work at recreation, or, I mean, to work out. but her experience there is very different from anyone else as even Elizabeth Holmes and I

she's treated very differently there and honestly I chose that I chose to have very limited interaction with her but she made it very publicly known well at least to you know Elizabeth and I that there's no remorse there it was a law when the victims would be on TV and talking she was just complete disregard for them you know and this is when they're pouring their hearts out in front of Congress and for these files to be released and stuff. And to see that kind of behavior when they're real victims that you're seeing and what they've gone through and to be so dismissive of that, that just didn't sit with me the right way. Well, of course, she's a fucking monster.

She doesn't have a conscience. And her dad was a goddamn Mossad agent, among other things. Oh, and we haven't had one of these in a while. a Kimberly Gargoyle update. And by the way, if you want to talk about what we just witnessed, feel free to chime in on the stress line. 844-843-4676. Yeah, Kimberly Gargoyle was exiled to be ambassador to Greece

when Don Jr. found a new squeeze after Kimberly Gargoyle's facework didn't quite work out. well she's in Greece and I guess you could say she's pulling a crusty the nasty Nazi numb our ambassadors to Greece live at what is called

Jefferson House it is a lavish affair in Athens and among other things she asked for a $58,000 basketball court to be constructed there and she wanted a custom Jersey and a

courtside seat and guess what we the people are on the hook the daily mail reported Gargoyle has thrown herself into the city's glittering social scene receptions, court side seats and late night

parties and to document it all she's seeking to add a personal photographer to the U.S. government payroll at 25,000 euros per year according to a prospective contract that the Daily Mail obtained. And she's become chummy with the owners of the Olympiacos basketball team.

Panagiotis and Georgios Angelopoulos owned the team. And they gave her a basketball jersey with the name of a titan. See what I did in there, the Titans, ancient Greece. You can't keep me down. A basketball player named Vasili Spanoulis. And she's also been seen hanging out with Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Diane Henley and Greek American shooting guard Tyler Dorsey. Oh, Jesus.

It's all grift. She's also partying with a Greek pop idol named Constance. And they, also in their company, a ticket-selling, ticket marketing tycoon, a billionaire by the name of Eric Vassilados. And they've been seen swanning around London and Miami. Well, apparently she's not grieving too hard for Don Jr. and if he inherited any genetic aspects from daddy, I can imagine why she's not particularly grieving. And just, yeah, I made a mistake earlier talking about melanoma's kids,

and no, Jeremy corrected me. Mary Trump earlier, Ralph sent this along, said, my grandfather was an anchor baby. It turns out the best case against birthright siblings, citizenship is Donald. Another person jumped in and said let's not forget Raphael Cruz

because, well, this now administration is claiming that the parents need to be citizens before birthright is conferred upon an infant. Well, it wasn't the case for Raphaelito Eduardo Cruz, the Anointed

Booger Eton Future King of America, and then somebody else needs to self-deport too. Marco Rubio said Just because you're born on U.S. soil doesn't make you a citizen Your parents must be U.S. citizens. Marco's parents were not U.S. citizens

when he emerged from his mother's birth canal slithered or whatever he did. His parents were not citizens at all. So it's time for him to get busy. Then there's Don Jr. You're born in 1977. There's Iwanka, born in 1981, and there's Eric the Dumber, born in 1984. And, well, 77, 81, 84. Guess who didn't become a citizen until 1988?

That's right, Ivana, who may or may not be buried in the first cut of rough off the first tee at Bedmonster. Another photo of Ivana and her spawn, Anchor Baby. Ivana, immigrant, Anchor Baby, Anchor Baby. A photo of melanoma, immigrant, with boron, anchor baby.

See, these are vulgar terms, but I find utterly disgusting. But hey, these are terms that were invented by the loyal bushes and Republicans and tea baggers.

And then it turns around it turns out they turned around and voted for an anchor baby in his own right nitwit Niro could we retroactively go back and revoke any citizenship that Mary Trump had because it was fraudulently obtained yeah after he waddle stomped out of the Supreme Court today nitwit Niro immediately ran to tripe and posted a tripe on tripe social they're the only country in the world stupid enough to allow birthright citizenship. That is, of course, a lie. Dozens of countries do the same thing.

Jesus. Well, let's check here. The Artemis crew are 1,129 miles away from Earth and that filthy orange pedophile. I wonder how it feels. The solar array wings are open. Let's check back in with the audio. In Houston, integrity, we copy. Hands are pretty busy at this time.

I think we will call you back when we're ready for that. That one is not urgent. Two minutes to maneuver to PRM attitude. We are watching and concurred. 90 seconds, maybe. Pilot Victor Glover confirming that that maneuver less than two minutes, again, the point of that maneuver is to point the main engine of the ICPS, the RL10 engine,

in the proper orientation to execute that 26-second burn. It needs to point in the correct position to achieve the goal of raising the parity to 100 nautical miles. You heard some of the environmental control system activations over Orion to Earth. Jeremy Hansen activated the O2 sensors. They'll be measuring the cabin of Orion. I hope those O2 sensors weren't manufactured by Ford because that's been nothing but trouble in my car. During all of the activations here on the ground in Michigan. control Houston flight director Judd Freeling is doing a poll with all flight controllers in the room

to see if we are in a go position to go ahead and execute the Paragy raised maneuver. Once concluded, Stan Love will report it back up to the crew and we'll stand by for that. And by the way, I had a note from Brother Deacon Asa regarding, we don't go to the moon because it is easy. We go to the moon because those goddamn Ruskies. the Camel Cardinal pointing out Nothing ever changes China has announced plans to build a moon base at the Lunar South Pole by 2035

And at one point in time During the commentary I wasn't running the audio at the moment I don't think One of the commentators said We're going to the moon and we're never leaving Really? Can't come home?

We're going to do the whole Robert A. Hindline prison colony on the moon thing? Ah. Moon's a harsh mistress. But we will now have a space race to try to establish... Well, Newtwit Nero thinks he can own the moon. I claim this planet in the name of Mars. Jesus. Oh, and this is some disturbing news.

Coming out of Florida, Coral Springs, Florida, the vice mayor there, Nancy Mateer Bowen was found murdered earlier she was just about to announce a campaign for Congress Florida politics reporting her husband Stephen Bowen

is a suspect he's now in police custody after initially fleeing to plantation Florida where he was apprehended at the landmark towers apartment complex police responded to multiple gunshots Nancy Bowen was an extraordinary woman

among other things an environmental activist in Florida which is not easy to be she was also the first black woman and a Haitian American woman to serve as Coral Springs Commissioner she was an advisor to Kamala Harris in her campaign

vice chair of the Florida Democratic Party's Haitian American voter engagement initiative and Jared Moskowitz of Florida said, I'm in shock. I was just with her on Saturday. She just buried her brother. She was about to announce she was running for Congress. Nancy was one of the nicest people I worked with.

Always fighting for her community. Always pushing to help. She had such a future. This is terrible. Well, by all means, let's not do anything about the goddamn guns. Oh, hell no. Yeah, I knew I'd do Marvin Martian, and I'd get some response. Silly.

Where is the Kov? Boom! There should have been an earth-shattering, kaboom! Oh, delays, delays! That rabbit is stolen the Elodium Q32 exploiting space modulator. It is prayer meet and Wednesday, however, and, uh... Well, we do have an update on some good, God-fear and upstanding Bible-believing Christ-centered evil-gelical, Gundamentalist, ammo, sexual Christians, maggots. Oh, yeah.

Let's check in with the State of Maryland. Commonwealth of Maryland? Yeah, I think. State? Not sure. Dateline Baltimore. Perry Hall is a community there in Maryland, where there was a softball coach. By the name of Michael Joseph Pusatari, aged 59 of Nottingham, Maryland. and lo and behold, he's been arrested for producing child sexual abuse material, coercion, and enticement,

receipt of child sexual abuse material, and possession of child sexual abuse material. Yeah, he asked a minor to meet him at local business parking lots to engage in sex. But that wasn't enough to quite bring the child on board, so naturally, this good Christian man sent dick pics to the child. 400 phone calls between Pusateri and his minor victim. He's looking at a mandatory minimum 15 years. Unless, unless, of course,

dumbass Diocletian pardons him, Maryland is a state. Thank you to Lee serving as the Horn Ad Hoc, which states are states and which ones are Commonwealth's Research Department. Meanwhile, the FBI, oh dear, in Illinois, are asking victims to come forward after a church president based there has been busted for child pornography. Michael Moore, the president of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, Central Illinois District,

charged with making child pornography in January of 2026. Yeah, he was making child sexual abuse material. A miner found a camera disguised as a charger in a hotel bathroom. That was the day after the child woke up to see this fine servant of the Prince of Peace pounding his pud over top of them. then they got a search warrant the local authorities did and they found a storage device

I guess it's a thumb drive or something like that videos of three miners in a bathroom there was a camera disguised as a wall clock a camera disguised as a Bluetooth speaker you gotta be a real pervert to go out there looking for things like that a real

sick bastard and that's why well no that's why this guy's a Christian and uh oh while we're at it Let's go to the Badger State, where a priest there has been arrested again. This is his second one on child porn charges. Father Andrew, goddess of irony, Father Andrew showers, thought he was messaging a 14-year-old girl, but instead he was messaging a,

full-grown cop. Father Andrew Showers is 37. He told the perceived 14-year-old all about the sexy time stuff he would like to do with her and sent her, well, there we are again. Why? What is it with maggots and religious authoritarian's, and way too many men in general,

they can't resist taking photos of their dingus. Well, he was charged back in August with attempted sexual assault of a child, attempted child enticement, and attempted use of a computer for a sex crime. That was until this past Friday, when the Diocese of Madison told the world that it had gotten a note from the Wapaka County District Attorney's Office that Father Showers, Jesus Christ Father Showers now stands also charged

with two counts of possession of child pornography because they were on digital devices that were discovered after Father Shower's first arrest he asked what he thought was a 14-year-old girl about her favorite sexual positions.

God damn! And then he asked her whether she was on her period. He drove 120 miles to meet her and brought his uh brought his Viagra with him just like Rush Limbaugh

the local bishop says I am grieved beyond words he's been completely restricted from all exercise of public ministry while the investigation is ongoing well bullshit on that why isn't he rotting in prison and from

from Wisconsin ah to Cleveland hello Cleveland A 77-year-old priest in Cleveland has been arrested by the Human Trafficking Task Force and he pled guilty a week ago.

Dean Diamond Jesus Christ entered a guilty plea to an amended charge after he was busted in a statewide human trafficking sting. And here's the really disgusting part. Diamond, by the way, is a priest with the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Cleveland. Roman Catholics getting a little bit of relief here.

Yeah, he pled guilty to an amended charge. And then the judge... This is almost as disgusting as the act itself. then the judge gave Father Diamond 30 days in jail and a $250 fine and suspended the sentence in that sting operation next door

32 people were arrested on felony charges charges that included promoting prostitution compelling prostitution seeking sex with a minor and drug possession and or trafficking 103 Johns were arrested, charged with engaging in prostitution or solicitation, but Father Diamond gets a walk.

God damn, sickening. Oh, and a bit of a follow-up. We talked about Madison Page, Jones, 30 years old, back during the holiday season. She was arrested in December when it came to light that she was. was having sex with a child, including her five-year-old daughter. She worked for the Midlothian Independent School District there in Takesass. This is the woman who wore a red hat, a certain red hat, at her wedding a while back. She and her boyfriend were charged with numerous crimes involving explicit images and videos

that they shared on Snapchat. Disgusting messages the police found after they arrested the couple with the boyfriends' alleged sex fantasies involving a child. This good God-fear and upstanding Bible believe in Christ-centered evil, jellical, gundominalist, and homosexual Christian maggot is facing one count of aggravated assault of a child, two counts of indecency with a child involving sexual contact, and one counter possession of child pornography.

Texas jumped to say, oh, she's not teaching here anymore. That's like saying, well, the horses are gone, but we did close the barn door. Well, the substitute teacher is no longer employed by MISD and the district followed its required reporting procedures with the Texas Education Agency. It's almost like some of these maggots

had a pre-release copy of the Epstein files and learned how to do the things that need, It's Nero is described as having done. And, well, this is more of a warning, but, God, it's so sickening. It comes from ProPublica and has to do with an OBGYN physician, Dr. Mark Mulholland in Washington State. Example number of the Ompty Bejilience, why I will never go to a male gynecologist. he apparently enjoyed asking his patients about their level of sexual activity. I wish I was kidding.

One witness against him said, he asked about her enjoyment of sex and if she had a boyfriend, and she was getting a checkup after a hysterectomy for Christ's sakes. He eventually said to her, Do you masturbate? I want to make sure the nerves are intact. And trigger warning, then he stuck his fingers inside her and pumped his fingers back and forth.

Ew. Asking her, does that hurt? Well, the playroom's open, he said to her. Oh, my God! And by the time this woman was in the stirrups back in February 2025, the Washington Medical Commission had already received from four other women complaints from four other women since

2022 all regarding sexual misconduct God of mighty but even after the commission published its charges against Dr. Mulholland they let him keep practicing. He was seeing

patients as far into 2025 as May before he went on leave at least 84 Four women have filed suits against Dr. Mulholland or his employer. The employer was Cadillac and Providence Health System. A spokescriek for Cadillac said,

We take our patient safety very seriously and are fully cooperating with the state in this matter. Yeah, interesting way to declare you're cooperating. when there are 84 claims of sexual impropriety against the doctor. A risk management employee at Cadillac said, yeah, we received patient complaints against Dr. Mulholland. We investigated them. But his privileges were never restricted or terminated. Ladies, be careful about which doctor she choose.

Oh, and we talked about Paula White a couple of times recently. Well, I didn't realize it, but she's high. hyphenated Paula. She's Paula White Kane. And the cane she married was the keyboard player for Journey. They met in 2013 and eventually got involved in a legal dispute with the

tremendous guitarist for Journey and previously for Santana. Neil Shone because he had to issue a cease and desist letter to Paula White, mom, I'm a ding-dong, saying that she'd been pilfering Journey's own bank accounts, shown going so far as to say she's a con artist,

which goes a long way toward explaining why she's such good buddies with nitwit Nero. So I think, yeah, I am going to wrap up a little bit early. as Lee in New York points out Be careful to the doctor you choose I heard that Dr. Frankenstein is only interested in parts Okay

Ramallahama the Lama smirked at that one Lee Yeah we talked about that yesterday evening Sylvie pointing out Christy Nome's husband is a cross-dresser Yes Brian Nome was photographed wearing huge artificial breasts

Them's fake dudes And pink hot pants Yeah No kink shaming here. Hypocrat shaming? That we're much better at. Well, Sidney Whit Niro, that's a shame. I don't know anything about it.

And earlier in the program, we had a clip from Andrew Weissman talking about how close to nine to nothing this birthright citizenship case may be in terms of how badly they, the maggots lose. Well, one maggot pettifogger is absolutely horrified. Mike Davis, who nitwit Nero, tried to make U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, and even the maggot Senate went, nah, no, really. So Mike Davis has gone back to podcasting.

That's where they all start, isn't it? That or Fox News. He runs something called the Article III. project and he showed up to talk to the man who looks like rancid hot dog water smells and is

apparently not expecting big things from the court in this regard on sour I thought did a magnificent job give us your best thoughts about this fyshory ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

A man who looks like rancid hot dog water smells Thought hacksaw Jack did a great job. I mean, when progressives like me say, Oh my God, he got gutted like a carp by frat boy Neil, I don't think that falls under the broad general heading of did a great job. Yes, Trump Solicitor General John Sauer did a phenomenal job today. He made a compelling case while the fourth. 14th Amendment does not provide birthright citizenship to illegal aliens, just like it did not

provide birthright citizenship to American Indians, and Congress did that by statutes later on. So I would say this. If the Supreme Court follows the clear law here, this is a very easy case. It should be six to three, saying that birthright citizenship is not for illegal aliens, right? If the Supreme Court follows the politics, we could see a seven to two decision for

birthright citizenship for 1.5 million Chinese worth tourists and I'm a little bit nervous. Curious, they talked about those birth tourists and Hacksaw Jack said, Well, I don't know, but I

think there's a lot of them. So now Mike Davis has invented a number. 1.5 million Chinese birth tourists. That's how the yellow peril is going to get us. Ironic, of course, because, well, the determining case, which was discussed at length today in the court, had to do with that disgustingly racist, xenophobic period in American history, when the United States said,

you crazy Chinese people can't be citizens but the case arose when the Chinese people who couldn't be citizens who were domiciled in San Francisco and we're here and we're not going back

had a baby and the Supreme Court in the decision eventually said yeah of course that child's an American citizen I guess Mikey here missed that part It may be the latter. My statute.

So you have to ask this dispositive question for these textualist and originalist on the Supreme Court. If American Indians did not have birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment, how the hell would illegal aliens? And then you have to ask this further question. Do you think we fought a civil war to give birthright citizenship to... We? We, Mike David. What makes me feel absolutely certain that I know which side of that civil war your family was on, motherfucker?

One point five million Chinese birth tourists. Do we think that we should have over a million Chinese nationals who have American citizenship and live in China and mail in their ballots from China into American elections and take Social Security and other welfare benefits back in Beijing. See, yellow peril, right there. I don't think that's what the proponents of the 14th Amendment were trying to accomplish. Yeah, but see, there's an actual congressional record of what they were trying to accomplish, and yeah, that's what they were trying to accomplish.

If you're born here, you're a citizen, regardless of the citizenship status of your parents. use soul is not use sanguineus I don't think that's what the public understood what the 14th Amendment was trying to accomplish so I think that these Supreme Court justices should think long and hard about this decision because if they actually get birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment

to 1.5 Chinese nationals living in They're not giving them anything under the 14th Amendment they are a baby born in the United States is a citizen of the United States a baby born in the United States is not a Chinese national I mean

goddamn the racism the xenophobia and they're out in plain sight now which hopefully will make it much easier when it's time to strap them to a chair into town square and shave their goddamn heads or something Beijing, they are going to destroy, and I mean destroy the legitimacy of the Supreme Court.

Yeah, and as Steve and New York points out, Chinese birth tourists, the huge false assumption is that Chinese people would want their kids born here. In addition, that doesn't confer any benefits on their parents. Roxanne, these fucking assholes are just fucking morons. Yeah, they are. I mean, Mike Davis, obviously, if his brains were gas, he wouldn't have enough to fill up a piss-a-a-pice motorcycle and run it halfway around a B-V. They are made more stupid by their racism, by their xenophobia, by their homophobia, by their transphobia, by their misogyny. Because bias makes you stupid. And that's all these turds are.

Mean and stupid. Jesus. Oh, and Sylvie mentioned Brian. gnome still the spouse of Krusty the nasty Nazi gnome Okay here's the funnier side of this

Fox News TV Radio Rwanda had to explain something to the Otne Ute-Ipe people if you own a Huala'eimé who tune in to their entertainment

remember it's not news it's an entertainment show Yeah. Family tells the post, as you mentioned, Ms. Nome has devastated. The family blindsided. They're asking for privacy and prayers at this time. For its part, the Daily Mail report. Byron Nome doesn't deny explicit online conversations,

but says he never compromised national security while his wife served as Homeland Security Secretary. A sad story. Indeed. Well, back to you. A literally unbelievable story, Kevin. And it might be worth noting that even though this is April 1st, this is not a joke. for April fools. What a story. Thank you, Kevin.

Don't you love the fact that the idea that the maggots were saying? Well, Emery, that just can't be true. I know, Martha Leane, it's April Fool's Day. Nobody, who would ever want to do something like that? Especially if he was married to a haughty like Krusty. I went back to Stevie three shirts for a minute. Steve in New York points out, Hey, asshole, you're still not getting back under the tent.

xenophobia be damned. Ah, yeah, sarcasm. Don't you know, apparently they didn't relitigate that case closely enough today? They haven't gotten the desired outcome yet. Well, I guess they figured that if they were ever going to get away with it, they would get away with it with this court. And who knows? They might. This is the same group of most puissant dread sovereign supreme Catholic majesties who, after all,

looked at the plain language of the 14th Amendment two summers ago and said, oh, no, all that business about not being eligible to run for office if you participated or led an insurrection. That doesn't mean what it says. There's invisible ink in the 14th Amendment that says that Congress has to make someone ineligible for all.

office. Yeah. So who knows? Never compromised national security. Steve says, there we have it. Answering a question. Nobody asked. I know, Lee. Fox is entertainment? Well, they pled it in court that way. Talk about failing at the one job you have. And Lee also pointing out, no birthright citizenship for fetuses. I've never heard of a fetus deciding to come here on its own. Oh, but if it could, it would. Everybody wants to come to Merca. At least 8 billion Chinese people do. And then there's the Indians.

The Asian Indians. Not the Cherokee and the Chippewan, the Ciccassan, the Creek, and the creek, no. And Sue, Comanche, Chey, Cheyenne, and Payute. Not those. because you get the idea Mike Davis would be more than happy to say because he was sitting there trying to

well the government only made them citizens by statute well the statute is in reference to the 14th Amendment dumb dumb God almighty oh so much for me knocking off early we do still have Bruce and Karen's Memorial Challenge on the table if we raise 300 bucks in the next nine minutes,

we would knock out, well, we'd be down to 700 bucks, $1,000 tomorrow, and be getting really, really close to finishing March fully funded. It would be great if we could finish March fully funded before this first couple of days of April have passed. And I didn't realize this, but, nitwit, Nero and Vladdy Daddy's buddy, Wickedor Orban, is in political trouble? What? They were talking about this this morning on my former filthy morning habit. The telegraph just posted a new interview this morning in which President Trump says he is strongly considering pulling the United States out of NATO after it failed to join his war in Iran.

He said, quote, I was never swayed by NATO. I always knew they were a paper tiger, and Putin knows that, too, by the way. Well, note, back in 2024, President Biden signed a law that prevents any U.S. president from unilaterally withdrawing the United States from NATO without congressional approval. Perhaps Jonathan Lemire seeing this very moment coming from President Trump. Yeah, President Trump, of course, nearly, he wanted to pull the U.S. out of NATO in his first term. I was there at the Brussels headquarters of NATO in 2018, a few days before his Helsinki summit with Putin, And Trump was so angry that European members weren't paying their dues that he tried to pull out.

He was talked out of it then, but has for years railed against NATO. And, of course, now is upset. He feels they didn't come to their aid at the Strait of Hormuz. First of all, you're right. There's a law against. He can't just withdraw. This is also NATO is a treaty, so therefore the act of Congress. However, there are things he could do here to really dramatically weaken NATO.

And my colleague and I at the Atlantic wrote about this last week. One thing that European leaders are fearful of is that he could. could withdraw U.S. troops from the region. So yes, technically we'd be in NATO, but if we don't have service members at our bases, well, that sort of defeats the purpose, and Russia could look at the continent as a much more inviting target. He also could slash funding to NATO. So even if he can't truly withdraw, there are things he could do to really weaken the alliance, and that would be literally Vladimir Putin's life work would be to weaken that alliance, which was built as a bulwark against Russian aggression.

Yeah, and David Ignatius, in the moment, is a moment. about the war in Iran, the president starts a war and then he's mad at our allies for not joining the war. That's not how NATO works. That's a different conversation, perhaps. But you have Spain and Italy saying you can't use our airspace to fly over for your war. That has angered the president as well. But this is a deep-seated dislike, let's just put it, that president has for some reason for NATO. And as John said, this truly is, this is the dream of Vladimir Putin. He found a president who's willing to turn its back on NATO.

and he can continue to roll into Ukraine and perhaps further. So, Willie, if the president follows through on this talk and really pulls the U.S. back from NATO, that will be the event that will define this moment. The NATO alliance is absolutely central to U.S. security and how the world works. Europeans that I talk to already feel that they're on their own. They see a very threatening Russia. at their borders, they see the United States increasingly uninterested in working with them. And they're thinking they're going to have to beef up their militaries.

They're going to have to change the way they look at conflict. Many European leaders say to me, we think we're already at war with Russia, and we know we have to rely on ourselves. So it's going to be a different future. We say that often with Donald Trump, but nothing could be more different than this, than the effective unwinding of NATO, something that I think of Mika's dad,

the decades that he fought, to build that up, the way he saw it as crucial to defeating the Soviet Union. And here, you know, almost on a whim, it sometimes seems, Donald Trump is saying, that's it, that's it, I've had it. It's hard to imagine. It's hard to imagine.

You look through the years, from 1947 on, all of the people across the West in the United States and Great Britain, all of our allies across NATO, how much they worked to push back Russian aggression, to push back the Soviet Union, to liberate 100 million people in Eastern Europe. They did that. And now, David, you look and see the president is clearly lining up on the side of Vladimir Putin. And we could talk about NATO, what is best. for NATO is Vladimir is good for Vladimir Putin. Donald Trump knows that. Marco Rubio knows that,

but also yesterday we had Michael Weiss on, I believe, after you got off the show, and Michael Weiss had the reporting and had recorded conversations of Hungary and Russia colluding with each other, trying to do anything desperately to help Orbán survive. Of course, we heard the reports over the past couple of weeks also, that Russia was talking about the possibility of faking an assassination before the presidential election to help Orban. And so you have all of this collusion. I'd love for people to call this a Russia hoax as well. Yeah, it's no hoax.

This is happening. And so you have this very bizarre thing that would have been unimaginable to Dr. Brzynski. and people who served this country honorably for decades to see. Because I have to offer up commentary on the video aspect of this, when he brought up her father's name, Dr. Brzynski, when Jehosephat brought his name up, Mika seemed to just sort of visibly wilt a little bit. I could almost read her thoughts,

keep my daddy's name out of your mouth. The minute he met you, he said, the dumbest individual he had ever met in his life and he never changed his he never changed his opinion but wictor orban well in trouble i think that would that would note if he were defeated a significant a humongous um blow to modern european fascist and i hope it's true. Oh, Auntie Cat. Thank you so much. Guess what? Bruce and Karen's Memorial Challenge has been met. Thank you, Auntie Cat. Thank you so much. And so we're down to $700.

Thank you so much. And with that good news, we'll wrap up. What a momentous evening we were able to bear witness to. I'm so glad we could partake of it together. But we talked some about nitwit Nero's.

blathering tonight, but it's not just nitwit Nero. The Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese, is giving a rare national address. He told the folks in Oz to prepare for difficult times because of Nittwit Niro's war and told them to start using public transportation. Kier Starrmer took to the airwaves on the Scepred-Eye. earlier and said there is a looming crisis coming in the world and as others have noted it certainly seems coordinated oh dear oh dear I guess we know what we'll be talking about tomorrow oh dear but thanks everybody thanks for sharing your precious finite time

If something really, if something really, really goes sideways in this speech, at 9 o'clock. Well, I've thought about that a lot lately. That, you know, sometimes we don't wait on the news cycle.

I mean, I can think of happy occasions where I would take to the airwaves if a certain magnificent moment occurred. But there can be moments that are not magnificent when we just need the sense of camaraderie and collegiality and the good company and the warmth and comfort of community that we have here. So I don't know. We'll see.

But if Mike Davis comes towards you saying, we're going to be invaded by a million and a billion and a half Chinese fetuses. Well, avoid that. that racist piece of shit, like the plague. Because he is. And always, always, always, Gina and Wayne, it's all for you. Talk to you in a little bit, Victoria.

Later. Let's go to the moon. Fly me to the moon. No singing. Later.
