Head-ON With Robyn Roxanne Kincaid - Head-ON With Roxanne Kincaid, 13 August 2026, Thorny Thursday

Episode Date: August 14, 2026

An epic three-hour FiliRoxster! OMG, grumpy Grampy MAGAT is back on the steam catapults . . . even as AMERICAN SAILORS are trying to kill themselves just to get away from hell-on-earth aboard one of the gems (germs?) of the fleet. Never mind the sailors. Daddy wants to rip the guts out of the Ford to install technology we used in WW II. That high-pitched distant sound on the wind that you hear? That's Trump's handler, Pooty, giggling in pure glee.  Karoline "Real Poo-Poo" Leavitt deciding to bounce because Marcus Whorelius left her as missile fodder in favor of his Diaper Nanny rather pales in comparison. Still, it was enough to make her bail.

The password is jilted. It's showtime. Here we go, live from behind the corn phone curtain. It's head-on with Roxanne Kincaid. Three hours of cussin and discussing with America's only liberal transvilly elitist right here, right now, on the head-on radio network. Brought to you in part by Cole River Mountain Watch,

Hi, I'm Roxanne, and it is Thorn in the Side Thursday here. This was another one of those get up and go, go, go, go, go, go kind of days. And, well, I can happily report that I had an entirely boring wellness visit with my position earlier today. Got there early, they got me in early, got me out early, it was a good deal. So I'll take boring any day of the week.

So that was nice. But we are approaching, we will hit the halfway mark of August on Sunday. And, well, God, it's flying by. I'll be freezing in the dead of winter before I know what I know what's hit me. Oh, well, you know, whatever. Oh, look at me, a little ray of sunshine. But every program here at the Horn begins with gratitude, and this program is no difference, so consequently,

thanks go out to our 13th day of the month subscriber and contributors via PayPal. hell. And that means thank you ever so kindly to Gary and Gaia. And thanks as well to Cecilia. I wish I could do more, but so many progressive organizations and candidates are pleading for money, take good care. Oh, thank you, Cecilia, for what you do. Thank you so kindly. and I know election years are tough because there are a lot of candidates out there that are asking for a lot of money

so they can turn it around and give it to corporations that hate progressive people it's just the nature of a capitalist electoral system and a capitalist economy that's run by billionaires who don't want anything at all progressive in our lives

but hey, thank you seriously Cecilia, thank you, because, well, if nothing else, as long as we continue to exist, the horn will always be a poll star of progressive intent and progressive concern and progressive values. And consequently, well, let's see where the fundraising deficit stands. We are at $1875, $1,875 is the deficit. That's basically six days behind. If we could raise $375 bucks today, well, we would stay at the weak behind level and not be headed towards some fearsome nightmare.

Somewhere north of two grand, maybe three, sometimes as much as four or five. So fingers crossed, and the bills, they wait a pay in. Thank you, one and all. You can help out at PayPal. You can go to Patreon, if you wish, and become a patron. Venmo works, cash app works, and so too does the United States Postal Service. so there are many ways to help out and look you know when you share the word of of what's going on here and what this long lasting conversation has been and continues to be that in itself has tremendous value so if you repost you know when i when i post the uh when i post the podcast uh on various social media sites uh when you repost it to your own own page, whether it be Facebook or Blue Sky or

even Twitter. It does. It really, really helps. And thanks very kindly to the barefoot count who reposts often reposts the podcast. Over on Blue Sky, thanks so much. Thank you so much. Thank you so much indeed.

Now, where do we begin? well you heard the password it jilted it's becoming evident or has become evident in the last day or so since the

earth-shattering news that a professional liar has decided to flee the sinking Trump vessel namely Caroline real poo-poo leave it alone you know I guess the multimedia for-profit

multi-millionaire for-profit media enjoys stories about that because in a way it's a story about themselves because the White House Press Secretary is the most immediate liaison between the Maggot Hore, I mean White House and the cosseted press corps and so it becomes interesting to them. Even if they don't necessarily like the press secretary, it's a good. it's a big story, but the fact that the matter is, reporting that I've seen over the course of the past day or so, is that nitwit Nero's, some of Nittwit Nero's inner circle are,

and this is a complicated political science term, fucking pissed, at having been made bait for the phony baloney Iranian threat that Bibi Netanyahu told that, told orange julius geeseer that he had just i've just heard about it mr president uh yeah and and that's you know if you think about if you think about psychobibi it's a way for him to uh for him to get at trump because trump being trump has of course treated psychobie uh like a little like a little like a little pile of dog shit from time to time.

Calling him out and saying, I saved your ass. You got to work with me. And then Baby turns around and says, no. And so this is a way to, and I think it would be wise if we all look at it this way. The whole, the big bad mullahs are going to get you with their anti-aircraft missiles over Turkey, which would... I mean, can you imagine what would have happened if that had happened? Then it would have been a real war.

Because that would have been an attack over Turkish airspace. And the Turks don't take kindly to that kind of thing. It makes no sense whatsoever, but... Well, this is an administration who actually thinks they can play three-card Monty and win. You see what I'm getting at? It's all a dodge. But, yeah, senior staff are said to be hot, as Tracy would say, hotter than fish grease over the fact that Canckel's Caligula hung them out there

to possibly be turned into their most essential molecular structures somewhere in the airspace over, I don't know, Calicchio. or Hattusa. Sorry, I'm still lost in the late Bronze Age. Can't help it. And one of those, I suspect, was Caroline, real poo-poo, leave it alone. There she was, having heroically returned to the White House after pushing out a little spawn on May the 1st,

Yeah, only to have daddy leave her aboard the plane while he took his diaper nanny with him on the safe plane. Yeah. Again, that doesn't make any sense, because why not shoot down, if you're a wrong, why not shoot down the safe plane just to show Orange Jesus that you can get to his? Right?

Yeah. Mm-hmm. I imagine, and frankly, I think, The diaper nanny angle really pissed her off because it means that, well, the diaper nanny, I think the diaper nanny is younger. Natalie Harp. She's younger than Caroline Real Pooh-Poo leave it alone. And so Caroline knows that now that she's north of 30, that she's no longer even remotely attractive to Julius Gieser. Of course, the fact of the matter is, over 18, over 17 is really no longer attractive for Marcus Horalius, you know. Speaking of which, he attended the Patriot Games, and there's a photo that's been making the rounds.

I know, it's a radio program, kind of hard to talk about photos, but there's a photo making the rounds of Nitwit Niro actually. awake as he watches a little girl compete in his hunger games. And by little girl, I mean little girl. I mean, maybe nine and maybe ten, maybe eleven years old. Right in his pedophile sweet spot. Yeah, he was awake and watching over in B. Buckeye State. And, of course, his entire maladministration is its sweat condition alpha. In fact, here's a true moment in maggot stupidity.

Lord God, this is so dumb. via 19 News W-O-I-O-I-O Dateline Harper's Field, Ohio there was a desperate scene at a McDonald's

in Harper's Field, Ohio Tuesday morning. He was attending the Patriot Games Tuesday evening. It's Ashtabula County, Ohio. And a delivery driver was operating a white sprinter van at the Harper's Field McDonald's. Yes, I guess he was going through the drive-thru or something, maybe hungry, you know, whatever. So, the sheriff of Ashtabula County, William Neamy, N-I-E-M-I,

the deputy saw the delivery van. White, no windows. I don't know if Tom Petty's American girl was playing at the moment, but, well, some of you will get the reference. And so the deputy, for no apparent, reason, apart from the fact that it's a white sprinter van, walked up to the driver and used a cell phone translation app because the driver didn't speak English. Well, this then, because nitwit Nero was nearby at the Spire Academy, whatever the right-wing

grift that is, well, this triggered sweat can. condition alpha. Mm-hmm. And so, because the driver didn't speak English, W-O-I-O-O-O is not clear on whether he spoke one of them scary languages, you know, never mind. Well, next thing you know, the Lake County, Ohio Bomb Squad, canine unit

was sent to the McDonald's there in Harper's Field and that noble and faithful canine companion alerted on the van

so then they shut down local businesses and roadways as they had a shit hemorrhage and then the hard-working deputies eventually figured out that there was no threat, no danger, and the driver in question had actually just finished delivering a load of, no, really,

confetti cannons to the Patriot Games, the Hunger Games. Uh-huh. I guess maybe confetti cannons have a little gunpowder charge in it in them to make the confetti go poof and rain down all over wherever, making a mess for the maintenance staff to have to clean up later. And of course it was extra scary because the driver, well, was from Staten Island, New York,

but then again, Staten Island, New York, that's Trump country, y'all. But here's the thing he was from, she said, looking side to side carefully. Ukraine. This is a terrified, cowardly... I don't know, I got somebody here speaking some kind of scary language. It don't sound... I mean, anything that ain't English, it's scary, but, I mean, this don't even sound like any of the less scary.

when you know like that like that Mexican what the MS-13 talks or the trend to Iragua they talk that Mexican too this didn't sound like no Mexican it sounded like a record album of playing backards get out the canine unit bring bring a bring a old Dan down here and might be a wild cat in the back of that their van I'm honestly surprised that the ice goons weren't called. Jesus. But back to the chicken flight. Nitwit Nero

at one point joked with reporters aboard Air Force One before he scampered off. Nah, come on, he can't scamper. Before he glumped into the catering container. Well, I'll be the one who goes first if we get attacked. And speaking to Brian Karam

of of raw America one high-ranking maggot staff member said apparently not he got off the plane and left us there we were potential sitting ducks in the event of a missile attack and

Karam went on and said when reporters asked Secretary of State a little bitting Marco Rubio this week about the ruse, Mark Rubio turned to gave a slight grin and then left the room with a disgusted expression on his face. And another one of those nameless senior staff members said, well, how would you feel if you were cannon fodder?

Well, asshole. Extend that sentiment to, oh, maybe U.S. naval vessels bobbing around there at the mouth of the Straits of Hormuz. Two other members of the press, and this is where it gets a little dodgy because it's always sketchy when the press reports on the press. It's like writing a story about yourself. But two members of the press corps told Karam, they said, well, next time I have to travel in the press pool, I'm going to make sure I've got my affairs in order. Senior staff are saying to Karen, what does it say that our president cares so little for those around him? Are you just figuring that out, sunshine?

Oh my Jesus! He's never given a tinker's damn about anybody but himself throughout the long and miserable 80 years of his sojourn upon this planet

in which every atom of oxygen he has breathed has been a goddamn waste. Karam then reached out to Joe Lockhart who was press secretary under Bill Clinton. We were talking yesterday about the last time we had a guy in the press secretary position. Well, Joe Lockhart was one of them, and Lockhart said,

there's simply no reason why we should accept that behavior, and the reporters and the staff who were left behind to have every reason to be upset. The president's life is paramount, but that's not an excuse for forgetting everyone else. You know, I'm so old that I can, can remember when fat dead rush limbaugh threw a connipion when bill clinton went to a funeral of one of his uh one of his uh one of his uh cabinet members help me with the name it's been a long time

but limbaugh went off for months you have to see the video my friends look at Bill Clinton he's there at the funeral and he's smiling and laughing with someone else as if no one ever smiles or laughs at a funeral I guess I guess

Steve Christie formerly of Pittsburgh area radio where rumors still persists that he was busted for gay pandering back in the day in the 80s. I guess that he'd never seen that iconic episode of the Mary Tyler Moore show where she broke up and kept breaking up in helpless laughter at the death of Mr. Fee Fy Fy Foe, a clown on a children's show there on the local. TV station where she worked as a producer.

He was wearing a peanut costume when he was crushed by an elephant. It may very well be the funniest episode. But I guess Flush Flambal never saw that, but he had a connoption. I mean, he was, he hammered away at that story for three hours a day, five days a week, for weeks, and in fact, probably months. Because he saw it. He saw it. is such a sign of what a

shitty human being Bill Clinton is my friends what will we tell the children well what do you tell the children about a president who leaves a brand new mother of an infant

only only three months old to possibly be mistled out of the air while he takes his new diaper nanny with him on a secret plane to save his own miserable, orange, corpulent, oleagenous hide. So we've got that, but there's another angle to the whole Caroline Real Pooh-Poo, Leave It Alone saga. Oh, a couple of things.

Ralph's has a challenge for us. Thank you, Ralphs. I'll offer a 21 plus 4 challenge for the Walter Santee video I sent you YouTube channel in Turkey that has 18 outdoor cats and three indoor cats. Oh my goodness, kitties. A super hot day with 21 cats, 10 plus 8 plus 3. Let's see if there's any audio to go. with it. So far we just see the blazing Turkish sun. That's the wrong button. On super hot days like this,

everyone finds a shady spot. Front yard gang. Oh, a bunch of kitties in the shade. Oh, kitties. Miao. Porthos Pamuk, mommy. Rusgar means wind, I guess, in Turkish. Well, there's a kitty of leisure that's Pamook where do you find these things for Alps those are so sweet there's little there's princess the little calico oh please let there be a tortie in there somewhere yeah this goes oh there's Vasat the lynx yeah it goes on for about 12 minutes they're all over the place And they hide well like the little wannabe jungle panthers that they are. Yeah.

Thank you, Ralph. So there's a challenge on the table for those kitties on a hot day. 25 bucks that'll get us down to if someone's got 25 bucks. That will knock down the fundraising deficit to 1825. Jeremy's already said he'll knock it down by 10 bucks after work Thank you Jeremy, thank you so much So Yeah

So 1865 We can get down to 1815 That'd be very helpful in our effort to Get to just a week behind Yeah, chuckles the clown Chuckles bites the dust What was Mr. Yeah, Mr. Fifi Foe

was his nemesis maybe, sidekick, yeah, wearing a peanut suit and crushed to death by an elephant. Oh, wow. Yeah. But like I said, there's another angle to the whole Caroline Real Poopoo, Leave It Alone business. I guess she's afraid that someone might put her under oath or something and try to get her to say something once she's out of office. and over at MS now, I think it was. Yeah. Alicia Menendez with her panel talked about the new Todd Blanche memo

that says that everything anybody anywhere says to Nitwitnero is privileged communication. It's an expansion that, well, it was in the works all. already and he just had to get confirmed first because that might have even gagged oh john cornholio or that paragon of virtue bill cassidy because it's it uh it bends the idea of executive privilege past the breaking point we've already talked about that uh that here but um alicia menendez and her panel today noted that it has ramifications for the exit stage far right of Caroline, real poo-poo, leave it alone. One of President Trump's fiercest defenders is leaving the White House at the end of this month. The news of Caroline Levitt's departure as White House Press Secretary comes the same week that the DOJ issued a memo, arguing the president can assert executive privilege not just over communications with White House staff,

but with private advisors outside of government too. And the president confirmed Leavitt will be exactly that. An outside advisor, Amanda Timmadio, and Lisa are all back with me. Okay, you have made the argument to me that the timing of this memo had everything to do with Boris Epstein and pending legal cases. And you and I have been talking about the fact that while that may be true, it begins to open the aperture of protections for others. Do you think it could apply here? Absolutely. I mean, I think it could apply with respect to honoring the memo.

The memo is not a legal document. It is the department's own interpretation of its policy. And it remains to be seen whether a court will say that its construction of who's entitled to executive privilege is valid or not. But at least as DOJ considers it, is Caroline Leavitt an outside advisor when she leaves the president's, the presidential administration and continues to talk to Trump on the phone and give him advice? Absolutely. because that memo defines the term private advisor in a breathtakingly broad way. It's basically anyone that the president calls or anyone that even his direct staff calls and solicits advice from can be a private advisor to the president.

It doesn't matter what like walk of life you come from. You could be an academic. You could be a union leader. You could be a titan of industry. One of the examples in the memo is literally a conversation between a president and J.P. Morgan himself. So I heard Jake Sherman on our air the other day talking about, well, this doesn't apply to the corporations that have been bestowing massive gifts on the president's pet projects. Actually, by its plain terms, it does. That's what they wanted to cover.

They want it to cover any time the president picks up the phone and says, hey, Alicia, what do you think about that? Right. Part of what is so tricky is, like, it's very common for people to go from these roles to being outside advisors. I think what is interesting to me is the fact that it is happening in the shadow of this memo, where now it feels a little bit like that Oprah moment, you got a car, you got a car, you got a car, and now it's like, you're a private advisor, you're a private advisor, you're a private advisor, because they now have a legal shielding that they did not previously have. I mean, let's just talk about how absurd it is to think that anybody the president talks to or seeks advice from is protected by executive privilege.

You know, by my understanding that is supposed to cover like sensitive matters, like national security, legal advice. But what Trump is trying to do here and through this OSCE memo is shield any kind of accountability that may come later. I view this as a kind of preemptive strike against any accountability that might come after the midterm elections. He wants to shield all his communications from anyone he's successful. Think about the universe of people. And then you add on top of that the idea that he is monetizing the White House and vast new innovative ways. Just look at his cryptocurrency schemes. I mean, this is the kind of dark money that we have never seen before. There are people you can be sitting on your laptop anywhere in the world dumping money into

Trump family accounts while at the same time receiving favors like pardons, regulatory favors. And so what if he just says all these crypto investors are advisors on this new currency. Protected? No, there's absolutely no way we should accept that. Here's where I want to lace all of this together, which is Caroline Levitt has defended all of that, and she has done it with a smile on her face, and that is why she has well regarded by the President of the United States. Take a listen to the President lauding her.

Fine, be replaced. Huh? That's up to you, sir. It'll never happen. Nobody wants to stay up for me. It's a great job. Thank you, Kate. And those lips, they move like a machine gun, right?

Who wants this job? I mean, given the fact that it is an open, to monetize your career in any way you'd like. Now, I don't read a lot into Caroline Levitt leaving and this OLC memo coming out. I think it's coincidence, but it's a huge incentive for people to go in the White House, serve a short time and have that open door to President Trump, because if you are protected for all your communications and they are trading on everything, I mean, you look at the prediction markers. I mean, the corruption coming out of this White House is unlike anything we have ever seen before. And that is what this OLC

memo is about is trying to shield all those communications so it's a lockbox so we never find out what they're doing speaking of lockbox you know it is interesting to listen to that sound of the president where he's like no one does it better than hers is never going to leave because a lot of times what she did was simply not say anything at all take a listen to that if there were peaceful protests on saturday for the military parade president Trump would allow that of course the president supports peaceful protest what a stupid question you're a biased reporter with a left-wing opinion what do you want me to do Yeah, because you're a left-wing hack. You're not a reporter.

You're posing in this room as a journalist. And it's so clear by the premise of your question. And you and the people in the media who have such biases, but fake, like you're a journalist, you shouldn't even be sitting in that seat. It's an attack dog. That is not a press secretary. If she were to be shielded from congressional investigation by this claim of executive privilege, how much more difficult does that make the job of, let's say, Robert Garcia,

should Dems win the House back in November? he holds the gavel on House Oversight Committee come January. How much more difficult doesn't make his job? You know, I think it does, but she's not really the example that I'm most concerned about. I mean, she's someone who was actually in the administration and was serving in an official role, what is, was advising the president. And I could see the argument as to why someone that role should be protected. So I'm not so much concerned about that.

That to me is more in the traditional kind of scope of the privilege. But the concern becomes, I would say, twofold. One, if the American people have no way of getting into how the president is getting information, right? So you have all these sources coming in, the private sector, all that, and that's all protected. There's no transparency. And then the coupled with that is if you have an administration that does not believe in preserving records. So, for example, you have President Trump, who may be receiving a text message from someone. They're not preserving these things.

You have Secretary Hexseth, who's on Signal talking about war plans, not being preserved. So now when you couple that together, communication is now being preserved and a privilege, which is almost a belt of suspenders of an ability to then go into that, you have a population. We don't know how our leaders are making decisions, what's informing them, why they're doing that, and we're left out. Doodeo? Thank you so much for being. Will you come back, please?

It's so fun to have you on set Lisa Rubin. As always, my everyday girl. Thank you. You know, the phrase that caught my ear was, was what most corrupt administration ever? It would have been nice to have had a little flesh on those bones. I know they've got to work. They've got to work within time constraints.

You know, they've got to get to the next ad. But when you put some punctuation on that, you know, this is the most corrupt presidential administration. administration ever and then you say and when you take ronald reagan and richard nixon into account that's really saying something and that's without going back to warren gamaliel harding yeah yeah so goodbye caroline you'll be gone at the end of august here and well i'm sure that even though she needs to spend more time with her family. Maybe she'll find a gig where nobody's going to make her, you know, bait to be fish food.

They don't ask people to do that over at Fox News TV Radio Rwanda. And for all I know, Mittwit Niro's previous press secretary, Oh, White Power Barbie. She may be getting a little long in the tooth now for Fox. Yeah, probably close to, dear God, 40 or something. Mm-hmm. But, yeah, she'll get tired of being a trad wife pretty quick, I think. Caroline Real Pooh-Poo will.

And earlier from Sylvie this afternoon, from the Committee for Surrealism in Everyday Life report, the Committee for Surrealism in Everyday Life reports that Sylvie was delayed in her mission to check the mailbox and go to work due to a very large bear roaming the streets near Chez-Montieu. I see what you did there. Sheaum on you. Sylvie reported that this is,

officially tops her last reason for being late to work because of a helicopter in the street. The committee concurs. Addendum, Yogi was displaced by the fires and has been contained pending removal to Jellystone Park, nerve medicine deployed. Oh my God. Which is similar to something, well, I was actually out of town when my down-the-hill neighbor contacted me and said, just wanted to give you a heads up. There's about a five, six-hundred-pound black bear wandering around the properties these days.

And I in turn let Annette know because, well, somewhere deep in the archives of this program is the night that I talked about the fact that a lion had gotten loose from a private zoo or some such not too far away. And back then that, well, L.A. was out in the back. yelling here kitty kitty kitty with an open can of a little freskeys. But yeah, we've got a bear wandering the neighborhood here too, Sylvie. So I get it. I sure do get it. I'm not sure what kind of bear yours was, but black bears are native to this area. And the saving grace with them is that they're actually rather shy,

creatures, but, well, when they get displaced, they get disoriented, and, well, I'm glad you deployed the nerve medicine. Great to hear from you, Sylvie. I know you're working and everything, but I miss your commentary. Cynthia in the Bay Area says, I keep wondering, how many more straws do we have to endure before the camel's back breaks? My anger's through the fucking roof and into outer space already. I know, and we just kind of, you know, some people meditate.

some people do yoga. Some people drink Mexican gasoline through a swirly straw. Anything to sort of bring one's somatic system under control and try to keep the cortisol levels and measurable limits. Yeah. But I guess it's infinite straws and infinite camels, Cynthia, at least until and if we get a majority in the House and the Senate and can go from there to really raise hell

or at least at the very least make these bastards lives miserable and ineffective for the next two years with investigations and hearings and such like Oh, I'm from the Department of Corrections Brother Deaconaisa telling me that Leave it alone is definitely not over 30, she's 28. I have a feeling that diaper nanny is still younger than she is.

Maybe not. You want to go ahead and look up Natalie Harp? Because she's a new flavor of the month. And I guess the heat dome is doing its heat dome. thing here. We are a balmy 87 degrees here and at the risk of ruining dinner in any daylight time zones or any snacks or anything like that. Yes we're doing some scantily clad radio. Let's just put it that way.

Sylvie, of course, wrote in a few minutes ago, and a few hours ago, actually. And of course, Sylvie is out in lovely New Mexico, the land of enchantment. Well, in New Mexico, there's a little community. It's sort of a don't blinker you'll miss it, place. Anthony, New Mexico, where ice goons attacked a family at rifle point. Yeah, this is disgusting, to say the least.

Um, mommas were recording, video recording, the fascist goons as they attacked these families. And we talked yesterday about the, uh, the shock gloves that the goons are soon going to be receiving. Uh, at one point yesterday over in the chat, and this is why you want to be in the chat, because there are, uh, there are little observations along the way Theo asked, and Theo's got a sciencey background. I'm wondering if saline solution and water balloons could mess with ice goons zappy gloves and not to their liking.

I'll betcha. Not merely a technical speculation, mind you. Yes, Theo, of course, it's a technical speculation. But one wonders, or will people begin maybe wrapping themselves in, you know, those strength bands for, you know, for isometric exercise or whatever. I just wish there was some way to close that, to loop it back and close the circuit on the goons.

Of course, then they'd just start murdering people. Wait, they've already started murdering people. What am I talking about? but the ice goons because they're a bunch of shitty cowards uh fascist animals and whatnot said that they attacked this family of women and children because of an imminent threat an officer safety my ass

they just enjoy hurting people audio's not real good let me see if I can really crank this up and get a better get a better impression this creep has a military style assault weapon pointed at innocent civilian women

all you can do at this point in time is record the bastards and hope that somewhere along the way there will be accountability imagine being such such a shitbird that you would point a gun at a child. I hope I can be forgiven for saying,

gosh, I'm aware of a time in history when other fascist goons pointed guns at children. Whenever might that have been. I think I mentioned that there's a new World War II series out, Tom Hanks, World War II. And I started watching it. TV viewing tip, it's good. And last night I watched the segment on the Blitz. And, of course, with the Blitz, Hitler and Guring sent the Luftwaffe

initially to bomb RAF installations. But when that didn't work, and the plucky RAF, some pilots flying as many as six sorties per day, that proved devastating to the Luftwaffe. Well, when attacking RAF facilities didn't work anymore, or didn't work, the Luftwaffe then turned to a terror campaign. They bombed civilian targets. They deliberately murdered.

innocent civilians bombing London relentlessly destroying what was it Coventry Cathedral and instead of breaking the resolve because that was the plan

oh the English they're so soft they will not like being the civilians being bombed it will break them aloud they will surrender No, no, no. They didn't. Instead, and partly because of the oratory of Winston Churchill, racist, they became stronger. And watching that, I couldn't help but note that the same thing is probably taking place in Iran.

Because we're admitting now what Nero does. that we're committing war crimes, bombing civilian infrastructure. He's constantly blathing and babbling about the bridges and the power plants and the desalination plants he's going to hit. And frankly, it doesn't matter if the Iranians say, well, you know, we'll do the same to the Saudi desalination plants. Them deciding to be war criminals has nothing to do with whether we are. And, of course, later in the Second World War, a British officer known as, bomber Harris, uh,

perpetrated, uh, the, well, he, he, he headed up the deliberate civilian attacks

against, uh, uh, Dresden giving rise to that tragic piece of genius that Kurt Vonnegut Jr. wrote,

namely Slaughterhouse five or the children's crusade. but we haven't broken the Iranian people because bombing civilian infrastructure doesn't do that how many millions of civilians did we kill in Vietnam that also did not break their morale but rather stiffened it and that is a measure of the idiocy of this gang of fascist thugn and criminals. They refuse to learn the lessons of history. And consequently, repeat them.

Which brings us to the United States Navy. We've been talking over the last week or so about the travails of the USS Abraham Lincoln. And we talked about the half a cup of shitty rice and a couple of rancid tortillas that are passing for chow. aboard that vessel but both the military times

and stars and stripes have reported that however bad we thought it was aboard the Lincoln it is in fact so so so much worse do you remember

years ago now when workers at the Foxcon plant in China worked under such horrifying conditions that they began leaping out of their dormitory rooms to their death rather than spend one more day on that assembly line that was just a wonder of authoritarian capitalism.

Yeah. You remember what the Chinese response to that was? To put nets under the windows so that the jumpers would be caught so that they could be sent back the next day to that mind-numbing assembly line at Foxcon. A long time ago, wasn't it? Well, everything old is new again.

Abboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, multiple members of her crew have tried to commit suicide by jumping overboard. Jesus Christ. If you look at the annals of the Navy, you'll find that, well, of course, sailors have been lost at sea. Sailors have been lost in storms. Things like rounding Cape Horn and the furious 50s and the screaming 60s. Entire ships were lost, but sometimes sailors just get swept overboard.

I presume that it happened in the Second World War, too. But I went digging around, and I didn't find a lot of information about sailors back then, especially aboard the absolute gems of the fleet, the fleet-level Essex-class carriers, trying to leap overboard because conditions aboard ship had become so intolerable. And this is just a little pissant war of choice. that we didn't even have to be in. But the sailors aboard the Lincoln

had been at sea for 200-plus days without let-up, working relentless shifts with no meaningful downtime, crap food, and according to the Military Times article, the husband of a woman named Annabelle Loma tried to jump overboard from the Lincoln

as he was presently deployed she said she'd only been allowed to speak with him a little handful of occasions Mrs. Loma lives in San Diego which is of course the Lincoln's home port and she said that he had been over-extended

time after time after time after time at his duty station in this war of choice this howling mistake this idiotic blunder and that it finally pushed him to the point of wanting to not be alive anymore speaking to the military times

she said he's scared he thinks he'll get a dishonorable discharge and just because he was burnt out his 13 year career is ruined just like that. That's not fair. That's not right. That's not what he should be worrying about right now. And she said she got one call from the ship's ombudsman, but hasn't heard a damned thing since in recent weeks. So this was some weeks back. And it was already that bad.

The deployment began November the 21st. It's worth remembering. 5,000 sailors and Marines aboard ship The deployment was supposed to end in May But, well, Whiskey Pete Kegbreath said Well, hell, hoo-ah! We can just keep them out there as long as we want to That damn thing's nuclear-powered

So it can stay out there indefinitely And well, they need to toughen up a little bit Maybe they need some testosterone injections Beyond the incident with Mrs. Loma's husband, there was another sailor who saw one of his shipmates preparing to go overboard and he yelled to the sailor, his shipmate, before he got to him and grabbed his arms. It's interesting that the Military Times article uses they-them pronouns,

so we don't necessarily know if it was a male or female sailor. God knows we're sure it wasn't a non-binary or trans sailor because, well, they've been kicked out of the Navy. Then three other sailors heard the carrying on, and they came running. Mrs. Rodriguez said, her husband said he hadn't felt adrenaline like that in his entire life, and he was just so thankful he was able to get to the sailor in time to stop them from going overboard. But she has no idea what happened to the sailor in question. Then Stars and Stripes also had another story. And bear in mind, none of this is happening because of transparency and disclosure at the Pentagon or the Department of the Navy presently headed by Hung Cow,

who, when last we checked, was obsessed with witches at Monterey in California and was worried about whether that area was sufficiently Christian. No, really. The Stars and Stripes story said that another group of sailors on watch had stopped one of their crew members from jumping overboard. Stars and Stripes got the information relayed to them after a shipwide announcement was made. It got bad enough that Hung Cow actually went to San Diego last week. and appeared at a meeting of 200 family members. Then there was a virtual meeting later where, because I'm sure Hung Cow didn't want to be in the presence of the families of the people

he is continuing to put unnecessarily in harm's way. The families talked about their loved ones, mental health, the levels of exhaustion, safety, aboard ship. Remember, just similarly to the USS Gerald R. Ford. Toilets don't work, mold in showers

on a ship that cost how much money to build? Then there's Vice Admiral Joseph Cahill who commands naval surface forces and said, We hear you loud and clear

regarding the impact this has had on families on service members and the long-term ability of us to stand, sustain our forces health. Ah, yeah, good. You hear them. Well, Faith Without Works is dead, Admiral. All the Navy will say is we're constantly assessing sailors' psychological readiness. They're on the carrier. They've got access to counselors and chaplains and medical.

professionals and other support services when it gets this bad none of those people are worth a damn of course the navy won't say how many of the crew have tried to kill themselves because conditions aboard the ship are so ungodly horrible i wonder if anybody's told nitwit narrow about this and if they did i wonder if he considers them suckers and losers I wonder how Bob, you know, big old boron, would handle deployment like that, 200 days at sea, with no relief and no let up. Hell, in 1492, when Columbus sailed the ocean blue, when they finally came inside of land,

his crew was getting ready to either dangle him from the yard arm and turn around and go home, home. How the indigenous people must wish they had done that, or else they were going to cast him adrift in a lifeboat. Another family member, Shelby Sanders, her mom is aboard the Lincoln, said it's been incredibly difficult to reach her over the last eight months. Ms. Sanders said when she can email me, she's definitely down. I think they've had five weeks of nonstop combat operations or something like that so that makes it really tough to communicate consistently or even know if we'll be able to. It sucks.

And that young woman's getting ready to start her senior year of high school and she doesn't even know if her mama will be there at any point in time for that year or even see her graduate. She said, I don't know how to enjoy

starting my senior year when my mom isn't here. You know, will she be back before homecoming? my birthday, Christmas, I have no idea. And that's all I think about. Manuel Guivara has a son aboard the Lincoln and said, his boy said, he said his boy just sounds exhausted and down and worried. Mr. Guevara said us being out there keeps wars out of our country, but it sucks having your family away.

It makes the homecoming that much sweeter, but the uncertainty of when that day will come starts to eat away at you. Yeah, of course, once upon a time, people left their families and went away in the terms the military used for the duration. And growing up, that phrase was still accused in my home to describe any situation that had no known end. Oh, yeah, well, it's for the duration. And, you know, us being out there, bless your heart, Mr. Guevara, and I mean that.

But the crew aboard the Lincoln or any other vessel isn't keeping war from coming to the United States. The Iranians are not going to get aboard their little rubber dinghies with their outboard motors and start puttering across the Atlantic or taking the long way around through the Indian Ocean and across the Pacific. The worst anybody was ever able to do was 9-11, and, hey, that was our partners in peace, the Saudis, not the Iranians. But he's gotten to tales, Mr. Tavara has,

and he said he knows his son worries about where his next meal's coming from, or being able to actually wash his dirty clothes because, well, the laundry doesn't work much of the time. God damn, this is the kind of stuff we used to joke about the Soviets over. Mr. Guevara continued and said, I don't want to worry that the circumstances of this deployment will get the best of my son, and he doesn't make it back home. That's an unbearable burden on my heart.

And so at one point in time, they said, Oh, we're getting to USS Theodore Roosevelt's strike group ready to relieve the Lincoln, according to Hung Cow, when he wasn't worrying about witches in Monterey. But lo and behold, the next story is that, no, apparently it's not going to be the Theodore Roosevelt. It's going to be the George Washington, which has lately been steaming around the South China Sea. They'll be deployed to the Arabian Sea to relieve the Lincoln. but then the Lincoln still has to steam its way all the way across the Indian Ocean and across the Pacific

back to San Diego the announcement about the George Washington showed up today the Stars and Stripes had the story first report came from the Wall Street Journal CNN carried it as well the Washington is deployed in Japan And, of course, the Navy said, oh, well, this was part of a regularly scheduled deployment.

Really? Regularly scheduled deployments take place after aircraft carrier and their battle groups have been at sea for over 200 days. Shouldn't that have happened a little while back? And, you know, you ask yourself questions like, hmm, I wonder if they're resupplying munitions to the aircraft carrier. And if they are, why can't they get a little food aboard instead of serving the sailors a half a cup of rice and a couple of rancid tortillas? And then there's a little bit of irony that George Washington just completed a port call in Danang, Vietnam. Of course it did. But this is what happens when you let junior officers with no administrative ability and Johnson,

ginormous alcohol-fueled egos run the Pentagon. And when you let religious maniacs serve as acting Secretary of the Navy. I mean, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was a Secretary of the Navy. And, you know, that may have something to do with the success of our Navy during the Second World War. He knew what a Navy needs. And he wasn't afraid to take measures to put the leadership in place to accomplish the goals. Meanwhile, with regard to the suicide attempts, CNN quoted us a statement from the Navy. We have not observed an increase in suicidal ideations or attempts aboard the ship.

We take every service member's well-being seriously and have religious medical and mental health professionals available to, assess and address concerns as they arise. Again, when it gets to where it is, the divines ain't much help. Because sooner or later, the rubber meets the road. And although we have, the Republican administrations and 501C3 tax-exempt grifts have done everything in their power to try to weaponize religion inside the armed forces, says, sooner or later it becomes existential. And a wounded soldier on a battlefield doesn't cry out to Jesus.

They cry out for their mama. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut is absolutely disgusted. They said, there have been widespread reports of shortages of basic supplies, water contamination, plumbing issues, deteriorating mental health, deck safety concerns and disruptions in the mail system, which have caused many care packages. en route to the ship to be lost in transit for months, months, and even a maggot. Representative Marlon

Stutzman of Calabandiana said he wants a report from the Pentagon by God, written in ink and everything. At the end of the day, we know that those who are serving have to have comfort knowing they're getting properly taken care of. He said that to CNN earlier

today. Apparently the USS Georgia H.W. Bush is also in the Arabian Sea. All that firepower and somehow we can't bring Iran to its knees. Yeah.

And as we noted last week, there are at least 1,500 commercial vessels bottled up in the Strait of Formuz. where all kinds of weird, creepy, crawly, gross things are growing on the halls and potentially setting the stage for an environmental disaster.

Or, hey, how about another pandemic? Anybody, Bueller? Micah says, Okay, this is going to be a hot take, and I'm okay with it. I respect our military, and I'm grateful that there are people willing to give their life in defense of mine. I also have not served. I tried, made it as far as MIP. for the Air Force story for another time.

But what do you want to lay odds on the voting record of the average sailor aboard the Lincoln, given what we know about the voting record of the military in general? And this is after it was known in 2020 that Trump thinks of people in the military as suckers and losers. Just something to think about. I know. I know. And there is a strong urge to say, well, you get what you voted for. under neither Biden nor Obama nor Clinton. As far as I know, even George H.W. Bush.

We didn't have sailors trying to go overboard and die in the briny deep because conditions were so miserable. But then again, Whiskey Pete Tegbreath spends Pentagon dollars, tax dollars, on king crab and fancy booze and lobster tails and testosterone. Anybody surprised? Yeah, me neither. I mean, I don't, I don't think it's bad for you to say that, Jeremy. It's just the reality.

But the thing is, that's like saying, and I'm not chastising you. But that's like saying when a tornado blows through somewhere in Taliban, that they had it common because of how they voted. When we know damn good and well that the gentle rain of heaven falleth equally upon the just and the unjust, and so to tornadoes. Or when a mine explodes here in West Virginia, and we say, well, you know,

I reckon he's not going to be driving his big old $70,000 pickup truck with that Trump sticker on it anymore and he won't be part of the next Trump parade because as progressives, leftists even, we care about everybody. We don't want universal single-payer health care, Medicare for all, whatever you want to call it. We don't want it just for the good people who deserve it. We want the maggots not to die of preventable disease too so that maybe they might live long enough to recognize the error of their ways or even if they don't somehow or another be loved by their families and then there's the question of how many families have been shattered in this country

where empty seats exist around the table at thanksgiving because because families just can't stand family members just can't stand to hear the yammering of crazy old grandpa Maga as he squeals and hoots about the illegals and the transies and who's going potty where and and and who's running cross country and God. If I were a praying woman and I'm not, it would be a prayer for a healing and a national unity and a recognition. And sometimes those are awfully hard to come by. They are.

Sometimes everything has to fall. completely apart for people to have the light go on. I mean, look at the Great Depression. From the election of Warren Gamaliel Harding, all the way to the election of Herbert Hoover, this was a Republican country. And everybody was absolutely drunk on what was said to be massive. unassailable prosperity and, you know, barbers were taking out margin positions on the market. And then when the bottom fell out, well, those barbers found a new use for their straight racers.

And then they learned. And from 1932 to 1948, the American people would not let a Republican anywhere near believers of government because they had learned through their buttocks and they had learned through the rumblings of their guts and they had been promised three meals a day and the Republicans delivered oatmeal, skip a meal, and miss a meal. But just as soon, as it looked like things were going to get a little better, the Republicans came back and said, No, we'll make it all better now.

So I want a day when we can be so much better than how we are now. We're nearing the halfway point of the program this Thornin'iside Thursday. And, well, this is a conversation radio program. If you've got anything you'd like to say, feel free to say it. The stress line is 844-843-46-7-6. 844 the horn or of course you can always get into the conversation via the old holler tree there in the discord group if you're not already a member of the discord group well they great time to gine up doesn't cost anything it just means that you can more easily access the uh the conversation and of course we've got uh we've got a 25 dollar kitty cat challenge courtesy of Routes on the table. And if we could get down to...

What did I say? Oh, let's find it again. Yeah, we could get down to 1815. If somebody's got $25 to match with Routes, she'll double that for you, and you will have done $50 worth of good toward keeping this constantly struggling. program on the air. But again, again, we're little, but we get so, so much right out in front of

people who were far better funded than us. Cynthia tells us, I've been on standby for jury duty all this week, including today, so I get to listen in. I'll still need to check in this evening to see about tomorrow, but oh, wouldn't I love to be on a jury for a trial prosecuting any or all of the fucking bastards? Guilty, guilty, guilty. Hey, that might get you out of jury duty, Cynthia. Your Honor, I'm really happy to serve on a jury, especially if we've got, oh, somebody who voted for Trump as a defendant. I'm ready to ring them up, Your Honor. You're excused.

Yeah And a couple of things from Jeremy Robin and Routes You're both for getting a key lesson taught by juvenile in training billable Rick It's not about the fucking cats Now now you be nice And as to the

Electro shock gloves Jeremy says just remember they're electrical And need some sort of signal to send the jolt They'll misplace a set of these gloves And someone will reverse engineer them If Israel can turn a cell phone and beepers into weapons, so can we with gloves. They'll need batteries, too. We do have more tech nerds on our side, don't we?

You're forgiven, but by Jeremy, you meant to say Micah. Okay, did I say, Jeremy? I apologize. I didn't mean to, uh, I didn't mean to besmirch anybody. Am I being? No, that's you, Micah, that's you. Look, it's hot back here. I mean, seriously, your humble ostus is schritsing. Schvitzing.

Lee pointing out to George Washington, it was protecting the airports like its namesake. Oh, dear. The airports in Japan? I suppose. And more than a few people are rather enjoying, shall we say, the exit of Caroline Real Poo-Poo Leave It Alone

Formerly at CNN and now independent Jim Acosta On the latest episode of His show Offered up A A What a

A valedictory For the Real Poo-Poo Caroline Levitt The White House Press Secretary She says Apparently Donald Trump said She's leaving that she's resigning as White House press.

I don't know, was Caroline given a choice in this? Maybe she was given a choice. Maybe she's doing this on her own volition. But, and we could go through a highlight route. This came on so suddenly, I think it says 3.40 p.m. So right before we came on. So I didn't get a chance to assemble a highlight reel. I will issue this appeal to the viewers out there and the subscribers.

If you do have your favorite Caroline Levitt lie, please send it to us on this program. and we'll try to put together maybe a compilation tomorrow of her best lies because as i've said from the very beginning uh you know working for donald trump is sort of like uh performing in the lie olympics um the bullshit olympics you know you really got to go for the gold uh if you're going to be you know held in high regard in trump world and we saw sean spicer i mean you thought sean spicer was sort of like the uh the the the you know i don't know mark spitz of uh of uh of uh of uh of of liars under Donald Trump. But then Sarah Huckabee Sanders came along.

And then she said, no, no, I'm the, I'm the biggest liar of all time. Well, and then I, and then Carrie, Kaylee McInacheney, let's not forget Kaylee McInanity. White Power Barbie. He was also going for the gold. You know, somebody's asking, is Buzzard girl replacing her? I did, you know, do we have that video? I might have sent this to my guys, but I might have overloaded them with too many requests. Buzzer girl, yes.

The zapper and the napper. Is that what our viewers are talking about? There was this young lady sitting behind or standing behind Trump the other day, and she was rubbing her stomach. And then whenever she rubbed her stomach, Trump would snap awake. And I was thinking about calling that the napper and the zapper. But apparently she went on social media and said that she's pregnant, and that's the reason why she was touching her belly.

So we have to dispel that. By what? But I guess, I guess this was yesterday. But I guess Jim Acosta hadn't found out that, she got that Caroline real poo-poo leave it alone got left for missile meat on Air Force 1 too he recently posted over on what used to be Twitter light a candle for Caroline Levitt as she leaves the job of White House press secretary is perhaps the biggest liar of all time for Trump way to go

and then he noted Trump Mago White House goons bots now flooding my comments in the last several hours this comment count just skyrocketed a reminder that they can create ratios that aren't really ratios. I don't know, honestly, and this is just an aside, I don't know why anybody fools

with what used to be Twitter. All it is is a, all it is a Leon scum bot farm entirely. And there's other stuff out there banging around this evening, just you'd shake your head, but why? Apparently, Nitwit Nero has a new tariff in mind.

You know, computer chips? Chinese electric vehicles. Indian pharmaceuticals. French wines and cheeses? No. Canadian whiskey? Nope, no, no, no. According to David Moy at the Huffington Post,

well, he writes, it's a tough time to be a horn player in America, and shame on the copy editor, who wrote the headline, Trump's latest proposed tariffs make it a bad time to be horny in America. Oh, sometimes they can't resist, I guess. The White House is attempting to declare imported trumpets, tubas,

and trombones, as, wait for it. National security threats. A notice that came out last week from the Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security said brass wind musical instruments and their parts and accessories will now be added to imports that are subject to national security. tariffs under section 232. God damn. And here's

the rationale, if you can call it that. This would make Aristotle shriek and run screaming naked through the streets and not in a good way like Archimedes did.

Erethra. So if manufacturers of brass wind instruments use imported metals to make those instruments. It reduces demand

for American-made stuff and will reduce the critical supply international emergency. They're trying to hide something here, aren't they? for fans of like wing shooting or skeet target shooting involving shotguns you know that shotgun shells come in a couple of different varieties high brass and low brass and I guess you could say that maybe a tuba and a trombone or low brass because they're on the they're on the base clef never knew that until I met Victoria

No, a 25% tariff on imported brass instruments. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ah, Jesus Christ. They're just casting about for anything they can do to make... But the bottom brass, in addition to making tubas and trumpets, and... Well, you know, there was that Herb Alpert, and you all know that he had something called the Tijuana brass, and, well, that's your Mexicans and all.

And, well, hell, Stephen Miller with a mouth full of mayonnaise. We'll spray it across the room if he hears the Herb Alpert Classic a taste of honey. Maybe it needs to be remade as a taste of mayo. John Mlinazat, Milnecach is the president and CEO of the National Association of Music Merchants. I love music stores. They're so fun. He said, there's absolutely no national security risk with musical instruments. In fact, the opposite is true.

Music making has been one of the most culturally uniting activities for thousands of years. Well, there we are. We can't have any cultural uniting. We've got to preserve Western civilization. And the ancient Greeks didn't have no brass music. musical instruments, they just plucked away on harps and liars and shit. I imagine liars are particularly popular with this bunch of goons and freaks in the white house.

But I guess there, no, brass is important in other contexts. It resists corrosion. so it's handy in naval seagoing uses. I suppose there's no small amount of brass maybe in all of those various missiles and projectiles that we've wasted on Iran. Apparently we're probably going to have a saxophone shortage and, well, damn. Ed Cross speaking to Huffington Post said it's going to jack up the price of new saxes which are already too expensive

and they all get manufactured in France or Japan and Taiwan because well I guess we can't do that anymore. Jesus Christ. Just another day in paradise. And I guess somebody out there... Okay, wait, what? Kim in New York? No, but seriously, right? Roxanne. What the hell is the reasoning behind these tariffs? I mean, it's clearly not national security. So what the hell else might it be? Who's coming up with this bullshit? Well, it's the department of bullshit in the old executive office building there in D.C. I'm sorry, I'm being facetious. No, it's brass. And God knows how much of it we've wasted in this stupid war. And they want brass to be manufactured.

in the United States because, well, we've probably already fucked ourselves where brass is concerned. Does that make any sense, Kim? Let me know. We probably have a shortage. You know what else is made out of brass? Fermenters. In Belgium, there is a brewery that has been in operation since 10,000. 64, two years before the Norman conquest.

And when the Germans marched through, the name of the brewery is a phlegum, A-F-F-F-L-I-G-E-M, and when the Germans marched through in the First World War, they confiscated their fermenters and melted them down for the Kaiser's war effort because he needed He needed brass for shell casings. Because shell casings are usually made of brass. It's worth considering. Tariffs again, says Clarence. Yep.

John Phillips Sousa would be devastated. Kind of hard to play Stars and Stripes forever without any brass. Right, Clarence? Good call. A little Rommel on a ding-dong for you there, Clarence. Clarence adds brass uses. Brass is also used in multiple five. firefighting systems, sprinkler systems come to mind?

Yes, absolutely. Hmm. As silly as the story seems on its face, it might be an indication that we are once again in worse shape than anybody in this den of vipers, vipers and nest of liars are willing to let on. And from the department of, oh my God, this is silly. the maggot whore white house is absolutely obsessed with finding someone to prosecute for vandalism on the mall and so they now claim that they're investigating

an incident of terrorist terrorist bubbles somebody dumped laundry detergent in the fountain at the World War II Memorial it looks like a well it looks like what way too much laundry detergent looks like it in water and somebody put up some neon graffiti that said clean hands dirty money well that sounds like the work of some

some creative person laundry detergent clean hand dirty money yeah I'm sure juice box Janine is being called in on the carpet even as we speak and then this because it's gross someday we as a country will get well and we'll start the show and we'll talk about great recipes and our favorite flowers to plant in the spring.

But God, his ginormous, monumental ego, knows no bounds. and so it is that the Kennedy Center board, which is made up entirely of orange-nosed maggots, has now voted to put his name back on the Kennedy Center despite an order of the court to take it the fuck off. Yeah. There would be an inscription underneath the Kennedy Center sign in addition to

closed for renovations saying renovated by Donald J. Trump and so they're setting up a direct challenge to the court and the order that the court issued regarding that performing arts center

restored and renovated by President Donald J. Trump and then if they can get to a hundred million dollars a third line will appear endowed by the Trump Kennedy Center Fund. Well, whoever named the

Trump Kennedy Center Fund, don't they need the permission of the Kennedys to intermingle that name with that of the disgusting tribe from Jamaica, Queens?

And the board, of course, sucking the orange toe, said, oh, the center would be in financial ruin without daddy's unique stature as both an unparalleled fundraiser and world-class developer. And we support any and all of the changes. And the head of the center, Matt Flaka,

shall undertake all legal means to effectuate such recognition in two weeks. And so they apparently want to go headlong into a conflict with U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper, who previously ruled the center the enabling legislation that created the center makes crystal clear the center is to be named for President Kennedy and nobody else can be named with him he got rather eloquent Judge Cooper did he said Congress was so wary

of diluting the power of the public dedication to the slain president But when it authorized the REACH expansion in 2012, it noted that the board could acknowledge private contributions that made the expansion possible, but only in the interior of the project and not on the exterior. So there's actually law behind it. And Joyce Beatty, who being a black woman, was unceremoniously booted from the board. Well, she's the one who had his name removed in the first place, good on her. and again, everything that pisses him off loosens up that little piece of plaque a little bit more. She said this latest development is a transparent effort

to circumvent the court's ruling and flies in the face of the statutes that Congress passed. I'll continue to fight for this treasured national monument. The judge also said they couldn't shut it down too, so, well, I guess they're following the advice back when he was still a deputy attorney general at the general at the holy corrupt DOJ, the advice of Emil Beauvais accent grove over the E who said,

sometimes you just have to tell the federal judge to fuck off. You can't help wondering if anybody's told him to fuck off now that he sits on the third United States Circuit Court of Appeals. I'll bet he wouldn't take too kindly to that. But they talked about it a little bit on CNN earlier. Adam Kinzinger was on air with Pamela Burr. for a little bit of story time. So I think people are tired of it.

How big of a win is this for Trump? I think it depends on if it ends up holding up. And if he's able to go forward with it, we've seen a number of projects get held up in the courts. I'm sure that this is going to be tested as well. But I'm not surprised that they did this, actually, because I've been hearing for months from Trump allies and people around the White House about different ways,

theoretically that the president could end up getting his name on something like this. And so I think that was clearly the end goal here, regardless of this initial court order. This is what the president wants. But it also, I think, speaks to the larger, just sort of legacy aspect that this president is focused on this term. You know, I've done a lot of reporting about the president's D.C. renovations writ large. And it is something he is extremely focused on. He will be talking to lawmakers and in meetings about unrelated topics and bring. up, for example, the ballroom or bring up the Kennedy Center. He'll bring in props to show people what he's working on.

It is something that he is really obsessed with in this second term. Can I just say for a second? I agree with everything everybody said. But let's just look at the fact that the President of the United States of America, the most powerful person in the world with a failing war right now in Iran, obviously all the other issues we're talking about, is obsessed with having his name on the Kennedy Center so much that when they took his name,

down, they had to put a curtain in front of it that as far as I know still is in front of there because his ego is going to get hurt by not seeing his name on that. This is a movement, a party that claims to be movements of alpha males who don't follow people who have strength who go to these tough camps and shoot guns and do everything, and they're following a president who is obsessed with having his little name on the Kennedy Center and everywhere else. This is a party that I do not recognize that 10 years ago I would have said was 180 degrees different from this.

And now it's all about him getting his little name on something because that's what's most important. I do not understand it. Is this the right message when voters are dealing with affordability issues ahead of the midterms? I mean, I think it's a few different things, right? One, I'm not sure voters truly care about whether his name's in the county center or not. I will say from having been to the county center, I definitely need some upgrades. I think from that standpoint, most folks who've been there would agree to it.

And they have utilized the county center in a way that had not been done previously. I mean, if you look at the FIFA World Cup draw and really instead of just have it saying it's, you know, a nice opera house for people in the D.C. area, it's a place that could showcase a lot of American culture. I think they've actually really used to utilize in a smart way and the renovations make sense. And we're going to continue to do that.

As far as putting his name on, look, doesn't bother me, doesn't help me. I don't really care too much about it. I don't think most Americans do. And honestly, I know Adam's going to have a condition and probably disagree with me. I don't think the president truly cares about it. Oh, who are you? Dear God, that's Matt Mowers, the little chud at the end there.

Well, it doesn't really make a difference. Well, he used to work in the Trump White House. Most Americans don't care. Well, what about Americans who do care? What about Americans? Because, you know, you let this happen, and it becomes the Trump-Lincoln Memorial, the Trump-Washington Monument. Because the dumbass is actually trying to spray crylon gold all over Washington, D.C.

And then there's this, of course, his unspeakably tacky, Ark D. Trump. Damn. Just, damn. And from Cynthia, I had a phone call on this stuff, but, and she mentions the Kennedy Center issue, saying, I'm so sick of this fucking Trump's sycophantic bastard shoving Trump down our throats at every turn. On the day it finally happens,

I'm going to be shoving my joyful celebrations down there, goddamn throats. Well, you've got the champagne waiting. Really, though. I mean, I know you watch your money and everything, Cynthia, but you need something special to wear. I recently saw Natalie Wynne and Stacy Kay

They actually attended the memorial service for Miss Lindsay there in Washington, D.C., and put on their widow's weeds, and they're all black, and their little netting hats and everything. And apparently it was practiced for the day it finally happens. I'm still saying red dress, black fish nets, matching red pumps. might even have to go out to a local watering hole or something

that can't afford the fancy champagne. Here's a thing coming out of Philadelphia since we've heard from Clarence this evening. Luzerne County, my geographical knowledge of the greater Philadelphia area is limited, so let me take a quick peep here. and I have limited information. Northeastern Pennsylvania, Luzerne County. Not far from Joe Biden's beloved Scranton. So over the ocean to Scranton, Pennsylvania?

Never mind. There's a developer who wants to put a ginormous goddamn data center in Luzerne County. headline Data Center developer offers $10,000 for support from Pennsylvania community residents. A developer proposing to build a data center in

Luzerne County is offering $10,000 to community members who support their controversial project. Apparently Lena Tillett of NBC10 had the story. You might want to look it up. That smacks of desperation.

Thanks to Amy. for sending that long. No, no, Kim, it wasn't. The CNN clip, was that hard-hitting reporter Jake Tapper tearing Trump a new one? No. That was a hole here, let me look real quick. Give credit where it's due. But it wasn't Jake Tapper.

No. There has been speculation ever since she announced her. exit stage fascist right about who will replace Caroline real poo-poo leave it alone. Previously, I had seen an article from The Daily Beast that suggested the inside track. The inside track belonged to pottymouth Scotty Jennings, who has those imaginary conversations with his old buddy that he's known since he's, was 17 um

Moscow Mitch McConnell he has said on the other hand off air to absolutely shit all over nitwit narrow but he's a different critter when he's on air as an opinion dude

is saying that oh Caroline Leavitt has been maybe the greatest White House press secretary in the last 30 years at least she's been nothing sort of of brilliant I don't know a single Republican in the country who isn't in awe of an appreciation of Caroline tonight.

So Godspeed on your journey back to your family. You've done great stuff, Jesus, Carolina. I hope it takes you longer than Odysseus did getting home. Of course, then again, if she ran across Circe, what would surcey turn her into? Pig is too good for her. Well, your thoughts? I can't come up with an animal, disgusting enough to merit having Caroline leave it alone turned into it.

Could Circe just turn her into that pile of real poo-poo from that wonderful outcast song? But oh my God, there she is. Counsel for the parking garage, Alina, habana, habana, habana, habana. also apparently being discussed at least by the chattering class Carrie Lake has been floated by some speculators

as has been Katie get around town Miller I'm going to have to shower with bleach after this program's over there's no doubt about it well that occurred to me Micah but the dung

beetle does not deserve that kind of hate. It does the best with the life it has. Let's not hate on the poor little... No, you know what? Sitsy fly. Seetzy fly. You know, spreads plague and disease. Seems to be fitting.

Maybe she could be a whole swarm of seetzy flies. Or, maybe an Enophilies mosquito. Or one of those West Nile mosquitoes. Wait! Deer tick. Little bitty, tiny, and can just make, with one bite, a human being deathly ill.

That might fit. And from Cynthia, I'm glad you're getting to hang out at home and listen tonight. Cynthia says, I still have my little black party dress, not that I could fit into it right now, If I lost 20 or 30 pounds, I couldn't. It's really cute.

Well, far be it from me to seek it. It's okay to go shopping for a hot sister. Sometimes a girl just needs to go shopping. I bet it is a cute dress, though. From Steve in New York, turn her into a shit weasel. I mean, really, would that require any work on Circe's part, Steve? How would you know the transformation? had taken place.

No, my... Scott Jennings, yeah, okay. But honestly, who better than the diaper nanny? And apparently there is an absolute frenzy taking place over on the betting markets.

I'm not going to name them. I don't want to give them the free advertising. Cheap bastards. Write a check if you want to be named dropped. Your sons of bitches. Natalie Harp, she's considered the wild card among the gamblers, but you have to remember that there are people who leak and actually place bets. One White House official actually got booted for having been caught engaging in wagering on these slimy markets.

but the betting sites have Scotty Jennings in the lead at 29%. Anna Kelly, who is the deputy press secretary and is every bit as much of a shitbird as

Caroline Real Pooh-Poo Leave It Alone was is in second place. Alina, 17%, but right behind him, her, at 16%

then is Alina Habana, Habana, Havana, Havana, Havana, Council for the parking garage, and apparently she needs a job right now because she couldn't get confirmed as U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey. And I don't know that she really wanted the endorsement, but convicted fraud merchant and fabulous drag queen, George Anthony DeVolder Santos King Tudolaya the fourth of the Hittite Empire said of Alina Havana Havana

I freaking love her energy But yeah, there's the diaper nanny Oh wait, she's older than Caroline real poo-poo She's 35 My goodness, long in the tooth. One of the betting platforms is giving her a 5% chance. If somebody bet $100 on her and she became the press secretary,

well, that would pay out $2,000 on the 100. You know what, we're culturally doomed. A long, long time ago, there was a little low-rent country club out in the western end of the county, and I'd go there, and... slice golf balls into the next county people would actually line up to watch that happen watch this they'd say and there's and and and the golf world is chock a block with hopeless inveterate gamblers and there was a fellow there he was a local barber that's the second reference of barbers in the

program this evening. I don't know how this happens. But he was said, and I haven't thought of him in years, I guess he's dead by now. But it was said of him that he would, he and his buddies, his buddies would bet on birds

on a wire and which one would fly away first. Ah, okay, that's quality jury. Juvenile delinquent number two says, stop calling her Caroline leave it. Her new name is Caroline leaving. and on September 1st she will be Caroline done gone.

Well played. Oh. With another one of those outlier bets, we have Matt in San Francisco. This is quality. Matt says, my money is on this guy. In America, freedom to choose the way we meet the challenges of life. Freedom to compete, to risk. to fail and to succeed.

No resource is more precious than freedom. It enriches our personal lives and the lives of those around us. And yet, it can be taken away if we allow it by the same government that can assure our personal freedom. Something to think about from the people at Trojans. from Pathological Liars Anonymous. Hello, my name is Tommy Flanagan, and I'm a member of Pathological Liars Anonymous. In fact, I'm the president of that organization.

I didn't always lie. No, when I was a kid, I told the truth. But then one day I caught stealing money out of my mother's purse, and I lied. I told her it was homework. That my teacher told me to do it, and she got fired. Yeah, that's what happened. So after that, lying was easy for me. lied about my age and joined the army.

I was 13 at the time. Yeah. I went to Vietnam, and I was injured catching a mortar shell in my teeth. And it made me a three-star general. And then I got a job in journalism running for the National Enquirer Geographic. Yeah, I was making $20,000 a month.

I won the Pulitzer Prize that year. Yeah, that's a ticket. And then my cousin died Joe Lewis and I took it hard. Maybe too hard. I tried to kill myself. Yeah. I did kill myself.

He did that for a week and a half. Yeah. And then it was a woman that brought me out of it. What is it? Indira Gandhi. Yeah, that's her one. And she told me about pathological Liars Anonymous. Oh, you'd be surprised

how many famous people belong. In fact, at one of the meetings, I met my wife, Morgan Fairchild. Yes, I'm a changed man. And it's all because of pathological Liars Anonymous. Why? I even have my picture on the cover of Newsweek magazine. Yeah, every day.

I bet it is. I mean, honestly, Matt, how can you tell the difference? Yeah, pathological liars anonymous. Jeremy, with a critique of a bit from probably, well, when Jeremy was a kid, uh shame on them putting the theme to glory in the spoof is just wrong well that's saturday night live for you although i i something occurred to me uh because the the opening of it yeah with the musical introduction uh features a fly around of the statue of liberty has riley gains transvestigated the statue of liberty yet not saying just saying that is after all

a suspiciously large woman. Thanks, Matt. The Ramalama Ding Dong is for you. Oh, goodness me. Kind of all over the place this evening, but that's because, well, the shape of the program is dictated by the day's events. And so we've had stupid stories,

frightening stories. Horrifying stories All right juvenile delinquent number two Stop looking at her very large books Her eyes are just below her crown That was not what I was looking at I was looking at her Rather masculine chiseled jawline

I mean Somebody somebody Somebody get little Benny dry wife Shapiro on it Would you? But Caroline Real Pooh-Poo Leave It Alone isn't the only one, the only other, the only, uh, maggot fleeing the sinking ship.

Well, uh, the secretary of veterans affairs, Doug Collins is bailing. Can you blame him? Uh, would you want to be in charge of the VA? When those sailors from the Lincoln and the Ford come back and start filing claims and start telling their stories, according to CNN, He's being blamed for how he tried to move a health care bill for veterans

and that he destroyed any relationship that he had with maggots in Congress as a result. Of course, he had been a maggot in Congress. Of course, the White House said, oh, no, Daddy loves Doug Collins. And if he leaves, he'll be doing so because that's what he wants to do. Oh, okay. And Ralph said, oh, please, finish my challenge. Yes, please.

And we got about 40 minutes to do that in. It's 25 bucks. Just trying to scrounge up the bills to pay. I wish I could say we were trying to get the Maybach back, but no, we're not. Just not. Oh, not that it's something that we would necessarily pay much attention to, because none of us go over to tripe social, I hope. But now Nitwit Nero is actually trying to sell early access to his tripes for $100,000.

He'll tell you what he's going to tripe before he tripes it so that you can get busy in the market and either pump and dump or buy or whatever before he drives the price up. Because people seem to think he's a brilliant trader. Oh, he's a traitor all right, only it's spelled T-R-A-I-T-O-R. But apparently Pink Shrek, the guy who's just asking questions, man, Joe Rogaine, had Shane Gillis on his program where they

where they both decided that they were really pissed off about this I mean selling his truth social needs to people and then they can bet on it what I think yeah he's selling access

he's selling access he's selling I love the fact that Joe Rogaine had no idea what Joe, water's wet. What? Joe, humans require clean air to breathe in order to live.

What? Do we really? I'm just asking questions. Faster access to his tweets, and then you can bet on it. Bet on what is the markets. Because it's literally inside a train. Wait a minute. Maybe I'm wrong.

You could fix. Wait a minute. Is that real? You get access to a tweet before he makes it, and then you could bet on that tweet. was that legal? Wait a minute, what is this? Trump sued over true social advance access

sale. I'm online in the Oval Office. Who's telling him this is a good idea? I feel like I need to be closer to a $1,000 contracts. Yeah, it's $100,000. A multi-millionaire complaining that it needs to get closer to the money.

It is to laugh. T-he, te-he. Who's telling him this is a good idea? this fuck face endorsed him in 24 but now the the ship is taking on water

and it's neck deep in the bilge and so Joe's looking for his next con you know how crazy that is a hundred thousand dollars to get early tweets that's literally crazy I must best you all so much when he tweets like truth social's parent company this

trump media announced in july it would offer subscribers to truth api who paid up to a hundred thousand dollars each month oh my god not even just a hundred thousand dollars a year each patreon month regular early access to market moving posts from trump and other people who use the platform market moving you imagine you charge one point two million a year he's just on a grab oh yeah and to get that is a Isn't it beautiful when the light goes on for the ones who live in darkness? He's just on a grab. He's...

Joey, he's just rubbing people like you. He's just rubbing your nose in it. I'm going to do every cheesy, sleazy grift and graft there is to do, and then I'm going to hand you a shit sandwich, and you're going to eat it and smile. If you're a good boy, Joe, I'll let you have it for $50,000 a month. I mean, this is his company bragging that they're openly going to engage in insider trading. And meanwhile, over at those prediction markets, they're rubbing their little hands together saying,

oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. And who sits on the board? Both of those sleazy platforms, pretty sure. Eric the Dumber and Trader Tott or one or the other Yeah This way to the egress

maggots People were like But who I just want to be in the meeting Where they go I got an idea And everyone goes to each other Let's do it

Tell them No They go look A hundred grand Fuck it I bet it wasn't even Trump It was probably some weasel Who works in the administration

It was Trump Charge of 100 grand a month And you post things And they can move the market yikes just into the form of the same shit do you ever put yourself in the place of somebody who actually pays attention to that

oh there's that word again bilge and wonder what must be going on in their tiny little maggot minds what I sure wish I had a hundred thousand dollars a month I'd give it to daddy and then there's cash Patel we haven't talked about trash in a little bit trash Patel um you know if if zombie j Edgar Hoover

ever found out about trash Patel well for one he'd hate him because he's brown but two um he'd have his g men come in and take trash off somewhere and well give him a good whacking to they're talking to you know recently trash went over to Russia and had a little

a little chit chat over there wonder why well Marcy Wheeler who of course is a brilliant a brilliant reporter on national security issues empty wheel is her blog of course

she posted yesterday that there's a new unsigned and undated letter that is being attributed to Trash Patel and as she said it's the most corrupt propaganda project yet and it's being run by John Solomon she cites the letter

Trash Patel was careful not to even use FBI stationary John Solomon is of course crook but the letter reads as you are aware I immediately disbanded the FITF the FITF is the

foreign influence task force that's the FBI unit that investigated Russian interference in U.S. government operations. As you're aware, and it kind of gives it away that it is Trash Patel writing here, I immediately disbanded the Foreign Intelligence or Foreign Interference Task Force

upon assuming the role of FBI Director, while our internal review of the FITF is not yet complete, we're investigating whether the FITF used information learned from the Round River Assessment to undermine or influence ongoing investigations by, only focusing on the subset of CHS involving the Bidens. We remain concerned that, because Biden, that defensive briefings to Congress may have been overly focused on just Biden and Ukraine rather than the balanced picture of all foreign threats.

Although these alleged activities occurred during a different era within the Bureau, my team is firmly committed to identifying, investigating, and holding accountable all abuses. and Marcy Wheeler goes on to point out that it goes back to a spreadsheet produced by none other than Madam Skunkhead, Tulsai Gabbard, now persona known grata inside the Maggot White House, that Bill Pulte put out into the body politic, and I was mistaken he didn't go to, he is going to Mother Russia, probably for a performance review. And she makes reference to an analysis written by Olga Loutman,

who said, a few weeks ago I wrote about Patel's reported upcoming trip to Moscow in St. Petersburg on October 14th and 15th, and the serious implications of such a trip. Yeah, I imagine, especially in St. Petersburg, they might just show him a few clips of some rather interesting video just to reinforce the necessity of his ongoing cooperation. You know, videos of nitwit Nero raping children, which no small number of people have said over the years that Poudi most definitely has, and for which the so-called pee-p-tap was a smokescreen.

Ogle Altman says, I asked why the FBI director needs to travel to Russia what he planned to discuss with Russia's security services. and why the trip was taking place just weeks before the midterms. If the reported trip isn't disturbing enough, yesterday, Moskowski Komsmolitz, known as MK, a Russian outlaw with a long history of publishing information and propaganda from the FSB, Russia's Federal Security Service, the successor to the KGB, ran an article speculating about Patel's relationship with Russia and what could come from his upcoming visit. It discussed everything from Russia providing compromise on Democrats and what Moscow could get in return

to Patel serving as a back channel to Putin and secret FBI FSB contacts that may already be taking place in third countries. And as Marcy Wheeler notes, they're just promising to do Russia's bidding in plain sight. But, you know, over the years, when I read this initially, over the years, we've talked about how It was an almost 100% certitude that Miss Lindsay had to have gotten some of those sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, NRA rubles in his accounts. And that probably Mother Russia had compromise on Miss Lindsay, maybe involving a... young pre-transition twink, um, doing unspeakable things to Lindsay for ungodly amounts of money, her words,

uh, while Lindsay wore red, lacey lingerie. Lindsay is long since in the ground. And there was a quick and easy explanation for his death. I'm sorry, I guess I'm getting into Alex Jones territory here. But,

hmm, one wonders, one cannot help but wonder, if Lindsay had reached the end of his usefulness. Because, of course, Lindsay was, if there's any good to be said of him, well, he never met a war he didn't want someone else to fight. And of course, Israel could never slaughter enough children in Gaza to make Lindsay happy. he probably ran a foul of puty in so far as at the time of his death ahem what was aortic dissection was the official cause of death wonder if there's anything that can cause that you know externally because of course it was it was blamed on the fact that well you know in 70,

year old fella and he'd put himself through a brutal travel schedule you know flying on a Friday to to Krakow getting on a train and riding for 12 hours to Kiev touring a weapons plant and then turning right back around going back to Krakow another 12 hours and then another 10 hours back eight to 10 hours back across the Atlantic to land somewhere around around 1130 p.m. at Dulles near D.C., and then it's about a 30-minute ride under the best of circumstances, from Dulles to wherever in D.C. Lindsay lived. A couple of people pointed out that the timeline doesn't add up, but who the hell am I? But I wonder if there's any other cause besides just a lifetime of shrimp and grits and a lot of time seated in a pressurized cabin,

exhaustion and riding the rails and maybe even getting shot at while he was in in in in in in in in recall that uh laura looney visited keve and came back and immediately repented of all the pro poody propaganda that she had vomited forth over the years saying that the people of Ukraine were facing real horrors and that they were brought about by the aggression of

mother Russia and that was, was that before or after Lindsay got all dead? No, I know, I know. Let's all shave with Occam's razor. Maybe a lifetime of biscuits and gravy and shrimp and grits and low country boils and whatnot.

We'll do that to you. It's not outside the realm of possibility and is, in fact, entirely believable enough to make sure that you don't go looking around for any Novi Chok or polonium pellets or anything like that. Just boom, heart blows up dead. When he had the best health care in the world, presumably had been maintained like a prize heifer but sometimes

especially in spaces where certain senior senators from South Carolina have been running around screaming we've got to put more sanctions on pooty that well you just get all dead is that paranoid on my part I'm just curious

is it? And so October 14th and 15th, Trash Patel is going to go over to Moscow and St. Petersburg, Petrograd. And listen to his master's

voice. But the bottom line is that, yeah, he disbanded the organization that was looking in, that was tasked with finding Russian interference with American government. government and the heart and soul of it is the fact that that task force noted that John Solomon and none other than Rudy Giuliani, a man in address, were trying to, well, they were caught, trying to launder programs designed to trash Joe Biden in advance of the 2020 election. If we can ever get shed of this gang of war criminals, miscreants, felons, un-American, foreign actors, and really dig through everything, we're going to find that this government, our government, was hollowed out by Mother Russia.

with the willing participation of an entire political party and its leading members. Anybody remembers Sergei Lavrov beaming and smiling at the Republican National Convention in 2016 in Cleveland? Am I the only one who still remembers that he was an honored fucking guest of Donald fucking Trump back then? because I swear as much as we do and as much as we talk about the current events of the day, it feels like everything we talk about in the here and now is influenced by something that happened in the there and then.

The meeting in Helsinki where no Americans were allowed to translate the conversation between daddy and his daddy. the fact that the intelligence community had an absolute connoption after a Sergei Lavrov visit to the Oval Office that just happens to time out almost identically with what we now know about Bebe Netanyahu discovering Hamas' plans for a bloody attack in Israel. and Israeli intelligence was said to be particularly horrified by that Oval Office meeting and something being passed to the Kremlin Vylaavrov from Donald Trump. I mean, that was ten years ago now.

Nine. And in a way, looking back on it is more horrifying now than it was that. Because now we can see the effects. We can see it like a cross-section from an autopsy. And oh my God, the trouble we're in. Quibono, a stupid war in Iran. Poudi.

Take our eyes off the ball in Ukraine to fling every piece of munition that we have at Iran. Iran in an effort to break their will when, as I mentioned earlier, there is no historical precedent for massive bombing campaigns breaking the morale and will of the people being bombed. Are you fucking kidding me? And with all the attention on Iran, he gets to ramp up his merciless rape of Ukraine. and Ukraine continues to stand and refuses to kneel. And the brand of betrayer is scorched into the American hide and Kuipono Pudi. How do we even begin to fix this? Because I don't have an answer.

But the first baby steps happen in November. and now two weeks before that election we find out that the head of the FBI is going to go and bow and scrape before his masters in Moscow Jesus Christ oh and with the talk that we

with what we've discussed this evening about and that's another thing that inures to Poutis benefit our vaunted navy supposedly that rules the seas has been exposed. Our aircraft carriers can't even provide a basic essential life support

to the sailors and Marines aboard them. And now, now, according to the Wall Street Journal, nitwit Nero's disoriented, diseased, demented mind has turned back to one of his old fetishes because, again, according to the Wall Street Journal,

he has ordered as commander-in-chief of the armed forces and no one can tell him otherwise, he has told the United States Navy to rip out every electromagnetic launch system on the newest of our aircraft carriers. That's the Gerald R. Ford. The electromagnetic catapult has to be ripped out and replaced with an unreliable steam catapult,

the same sort of steam catapult. Jesus Christ, that they were using aboard fleet carriers in World War II, which is probably as far as his memory extends. and the salute snappers say, Yes, sir, this is a stupid thing to do with our carriers, but God damn it, you're the commander-in-chief. The National Security Memorandum ordering this came out today. There are three carriers being built,

and those electric systems remain. But after that, the future USS Doris Miller, and you can bet your ass that name will be changed, Toot Sweet, will run on a steam catapult. God damn. It goes all the way back to 2017 when he was interviewed by Time magazine

and he said, I want the Navy to go back to goddamn steam! Because some sailor told him that he liked the steam catapults better because he liked the whooshy steam on the flight. I don't know. last month when he was in Pennsylvania, he said, oh, the electromagnetic catapults are not nearly as good. They're too complex.

And so now this inept, treasonous, traitorous White House, I mean, you talk about too complex. This is a steam catapult system is a pretty big loop. But now the White House is saying, oh, no, we're just returning to a tried and proven previous technology. It'll result in carriers that are enabled by battle-tested

steam and hydraulic systems. It'll reactivate portions of the maritime industrial base that are easier to scale. Well, they're pissed off over at General Atomics. They're the ones who build the electromag systems. They said,

uh, daddy, this warrants careful reconsideration. It'll introduce significant cost schedule and integration risks because the USS Doris Miller, name soon to be changed, is almost half built.

Those electromagnetic systems were meant to get our aircraft in the air much faster than steam catapult systems do and much more efficiently. And by the way, the steam catapults cost about $100 million a year more than the electric

electromagnetic systems on the new Ford class Of course, we're quibbling over the catapults when we can't get the toilets to flush or the showers not to grow mold. I bet Pouti's real happy about that, too. Oh, and we talked about the confetti cannons earlier in the program. Well, this will close things up for the evening. They've been put to use earlier at the Patriot Games final,

at Spire Academy in Geneva, Ohio. They fired off those confetti cannons. As Nitwit Niro stood on the stage doing his jacking off a pair of camels dance as he stood next to a young girl holding a trophy, a golden trophy over at the Atlantic one of their writers, Matt Weiser, said that he threw 26 hours of his life away

watching the Patriot Games on ESPN, shame on ESPN. Weiser said it was Hunger Games, MAGISDile, and went on to say that it might have been the oddest festivities that Trump has ever ordered. And that's saying something, just taking the great American state farce and the UFC

uh men in near naked men in spandex running around grabbing each other contest on the White House lawn the advisor said more than anything it was a reality television style snapshot of the America that Trump most wants to see the contestants were overwhelmingly white in a country where roughly half of

children or not and many spoke openly of their Christian faith or their affection for daddy. And shame on Pat McAfee. Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame. God damn. Former Mountaineer gagged my gut. And the attendees yelled, We love you, Mr. President.

And someone said, He's got that Michael Jordan glow. Really? Michael Jordan? Daddy will be mad if he finds out you compared him to a black man And then of course on the SPN they interviewed Orange Genius I didn't know what you expect

I'm very proud of the people in this room You see the spirit and the love of the country Our great country And our country's never done better They harvested the kids out of the future farmers of America And the JROTC military families one of the kids said

I just want to say it's for the glory of God thank you Lord for this opportunity and like I said yesterday for instance the kid that was supposedly representing one of the kids supposedly representing Puerto Rico yeah he was from takes ass but then again this is the kind of thing that fascist

regimes revel in even in the last days before the fall of Berlin Hitler was out there shaking the hands of little boys who would soon be little corpses as the Soviets pressed on toward the city center he especially loved the celebration of Deutsche Kinda every day

there's another reminder of exactly who this man is, and every day Ivanka Trump's sworn testimony that he kept a copy of Hitler's speeches by their marital bed rings more true.

So that's the program, y'all. Ralph's challenge remains on the table if anybody hears this overnight. We're at 1865. We'll be over the two. $2,000 mark unless there's some sort of miracle in the interim. I'm hoping for a miracle. It's hard to do a broadcast with, you know, utilities not there.

But thanks everybody. Thanks to each and every one of you who share your precious finite time engaging in the program in whatever manner you choose. Thanks to our challenge makers and challenge respondents. Thank you, Ralphs, for always being there. Thank you so, so much. thanks to our a la carte contributors thank you

thanks to our news ninjas Thanks, Charlie, for the restream at APS Radio News. Thank you, Brother Deacon, Asa. Everything you hear here happens because of the good offices of the Camel Cardinal, who keeps the packets passing and the streams streaming because it's a series of tubes. It's not a big truck. Please, if you've got a second, when you download the podcast, leave us a remark, a comment, a review, wherever you download.

Mostly, I see the comments at Podbean. So thanks to those of you who already do. Thanks, Emily, for the intro. Thanks to the hardest working, bravest people I know, the folks at Coal River Mountain Watch, CrMW.net. Over a quarter century at the forefront of the struggle for human rights and environmental justice in Appalachia and a proud union shop, please stay safe.

Please keep a wary eye out wherever you are for the ice goons. And if they're not targeting you, create a record for that day when the accountability falls upon them like an anvil. If you can. And, of course,

if Caroline Real Pooh-Poo, Leave It Alone, comes toward you, fuming about, he left me on the plane to be missile bait while he took that 35-year-old hussy with. then. Well, avoid her like the plague because she is and always, always, always, Gina and Wayne, it's all for you. Later. Talk in a little bit, Victoria.
