The password is curb. 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 discussin, with America's only liberal transvilly elitist right here, right now, on the head-on radio network. Brought to you in part by Cole River Mountain Watch,

who invites you to be part of the uprising against Mountain Tides, removal, CRMW.net. And now, from high in the hills of West by God, Virginia, here she is. Roxanne Kincaid. Well, howdy. And here we go, off and running on this Titanic Tuesday, the 13th day of October, 2006. This is the horn.

Head on. Dot Live is where you'll find us on the interweb tubes. That's where you go. if you'd like to be part of the Mary Wacky Zany Real-Time Madcap Multimedia, extravaganza. That is the horn chat room, the old holler tree. We sublet from the Keebler elves, which you can easily access by going to head on.org and clicking on chat room.

And, well, there you are. So feel free to pop by. Ralps is waiting. Thank you, Ralphs, for serving as the welcoming committee there in the chat room. Thank you so kindly. And, of course, if you're listening to the podcast, well, thank you so much for sharing a precious finite time with us that way. We are approaching a mere 30,000 downloads to get us to that millionth pod bean download.

Not much chance of that happening between now and the Horn's 21st birthday, but we'll keep plugging away. Yeah, so thanks for downloading. If you can take a moment and leave us a remark or review, a comment, it sure is helpful when You know, when the algorithms get that interactivity, they crave. So if you can do that, and thanks to those of you who do. Much obliged, much obliged indeed. Every program here at the Horn begins with gratitude, and this program is no different.

So thanks go out to our 13th Day of the Month subscriber and contributor. And let's see here. I hate it when these updates roll out. It's a pain in the butt. But thank you to Gary and Gaia in Oregon. Thank you so much for being partial sponsors of the program. Thanks to a kind anonymous friend who answered Ralph's challenge from yesterday. So thank you for that.

And thank you, Ralph, for the challenge. And got a note as well, you know, we've been talking about don't assume. that your right to vote is locked down and secured. You need to check with your local elections office and make sure that no one's screwed around with your registration.

Jeremy pointed out something that happened with him. And, well, in this case, News Ninja Gene said, it took me about five days, but I finally got the ballot into the

county correctly, and my vote will be be counted. Good for you, News Ninja Gene. Good for you, indeed. It's worth checking into so that there are no last minute surprise, well, it's October. It's a month for surprises, isn't it? At least if you're, you know, a Republican, they love their October surprises. Sheesh. It's infuriating. Probably also illegal, but that's never stopped a Republican before now, has it? No, no. and so where do we stand the funding deficit at present with the challenge that having been met and Ralph says thanks everyone we are at 1385 that's the funding deficit that's the funding deficit 1385 that's all of today

all of yesterday, all of Friday, all of Tuesday, and $185 of last Monday. So we're well over a week behind. And honestly, it's a little scary right now and depressing. But the one thing is, nobody else talks about this the way I do, but it's always been important that people know that this is not some means to a, a pecunius end no this is about staying alive and keeping the program on the air and they're a

crap ton of bills one of which is more important than well they're all important because they in one way or another wind up with shit being turned off including potentially your humble hostess you know we had

the story about well it wasn't really a story it's just i got a note from my health insurance what to call them syndicate syndicato in which they told me that my health insurance will be going up in January to oh something around five hundred dollars a month which basically is unsustainable but i'm trying to hang on to it at least through the end of the year and so if we could bring down a chunk of that well let's see $185 for last Monday and then well it'd be $4.85 to knock down

Monday and Tuesday you can do the math far better than I but that's that's where things stand and they are desperate circumstances so again thanks to any of you who can help out because it's scary to be uninsured. It just is. And I know there are people in this community who know exactly what that fear is.

Oh, juvenile delinquent number two, shut up. Don't lie, we know damn well now that Jim and Tammy are both gone. You've taken over all the plane strains and automobiles they've owned, and gas ain't cheap. That's damned lie, juvenile delinquent number two. because we all actually know that who took all that over was fat dead now Jerry Falwell. Not sure what Jerry Falwell Jr. did with it. He may have used the plane to fly the pool boy up from Florida so that he could have sex with Becky. Oh, you know, over there tied to a chair, gimp mask, ball gag.

Oh, Becky, a ballw. Yeah, good times, right? Jim and Tammy, Jesus. You people. Yes, I, you people do. Jeremy. Oh, God, Miss Micah, if only, shutting you down, you didn't pay the AI bill for the alleged virtual Roxanne? Yeah, that's exactly what.

But anyway, we've got a, it's Titanic Tuesday, and for, well, 21 years or so, almost, we have taken Tuesdays to celebrate, if that's the word, more than 21 years, because it goes back to my days in America's fifth smallest radio market, where the morning monotone would come on air every day and talk about what I talked about the night before. And his mouth-walking, knuckle-breathing, followers would call in and bark and grunt and fling poo. One of them one day called in and said, Steve, how come it is that there is seashells in the rocks in West Virginia.

I've seen him in when I was in the coal mines, They ain't nowhere near the beach. To which the morning monotone responded, Well, caller, that's because of the movement of the Titanic plates. I don't tell that story so often anymore, but it's worth it to drag it out into the light once in a while, just to remember a zanier, perhaps simpler time. So that's the movement of the Titanic plates,

and, well, the Titanic plates were aboard the Tower, on the Titanic table in the Titanic dining room, on the Titanic dining deck, and it's all at the bottom of the ocean down there next to what's left of the libertarian death thermos. Time does fly, doesn't it? Yeah. It does.

It really does. Still no word, however, the whereabouts of the Titanic potato riceer. But that's why Titanic Tuesday is Titanic Tuesday, and that's why every Tuesday here seems to be perhaps a little bit zanier than others. Let's check in out in Nebraska stand, shall we? Kearney, Karni, Nebraska? Yeah.

Where, of course, they vote regularly and routinely for MAGA. They love them, they love them some nitwit Nero out there. Orange Jesus is their Jesus. and, well, things are getting a little, well, things are getting a little tight out there. In fact, older Americans in Nebraska, soon coming to a state near you, I hope not, but here we are. Out in Nebraska, a pair of senior living facilities have closed. and almost 100 people, 100 Nebraskaans have been kicked to the curb. 93 seniors, many of whom have either Alzheimer's or dementia, were told back in August,

you've got to find somewhere else to live. I don't know how you get that message through to someone with dementia or Alzheimer's. I simply don't. And, of course, many of these care homes are run by care facilities or run by ginormous corporations. But the maggots voted to, they voted for this. And the maggot Congress and the maggot executive branch stole Medicaid money

the flat water free press reporting in August Marsha Doty learned she had 30 days to pack up her belongings and find a new home the assisted living facility she had been staying at for several months in Carney

was being shut down by its parent company the Colorado-based Bethes the Foundation and would be sold to a real estate developer. Gee, I wonder if they're putting together a parcel for a great big, ginormous data center. Ms. Doty said, she's 77. She said, I could hardly believe it. It was traumatic for me. And there were 40 other people who called Cambridge Court home.

people were so horrified, so saddened, so traumatized that they even quit coming down to the dining hall for dinner. She said they were depressed. It became more quiet and people didn't connect. They were in their rooms more than anything. And, well, there's no real answer. Because Medicaid reimbursement rates in Nebraska, aren't matching the inflated cost of health care

and so boom, facilities close. And of course, well, the people being hit the hardest are underserved communities and some MAGA folks are having the, are welcoming their elderly parents back into their home. the Bethesda Foundation says it's leaving Nebraska completely they're going to shut down their assisted living home in Omaha as well that'll kick another 50 elderly people to the curb and you know as to Ms. Doty well she's been diagnosed with Alzheimer's long before coming to the facility she stayed at home with her husband who was her

caregiver, you know, in sickness and in health till death do us part. But then Mr. Doty started going downhill and became frail, and the decision was made to send Ms. Doty to an assisted living facility, and she said, I just accepted it. I can get confused too easily. But hey, well, I wonder what kind of ads or running in Nebraska stand for the upcoming elections. I'll bet Senator Ricketts isn't running ads about keeping assisted living facilities open. No. You know the kind of ads they're running.

The same kind of ads they're running everywhere. And by the way, uh, Ralphs has a challenge on the table for the evening. There's a, well, there, there's a new White House, uh, spokescreep. Yeah, she's being referred to as a Timo attorney, uh, Katie Zakaria. And oh my gracious, her, uh, maiden voyage behind the podium was a word salad for the ages. And so Ralphs has the Timo attorney challenge on the table, $25 if somebody will kick in $25.

She will match that, Ralph's will. Thank you. And that'll get us down to 1335 if someone can jump in on that. And thank you so much if you do. Like I said, things are dire here. but yeah the uh

the uh uh uh... uh... uh... Katie is the Timo attorney hire because she claims to be a lawyer and that she

and and it with Niro well he was answering questions that uh... outside the outside the hoar i mean white house and it went a little something like this you said she passed the bar exam in

she said she's an attorney where did she pass the bar exam which state you said she's an attorney where did she pass the bar exam what state at which point nitwit Nero sort of gulumpfically pivots turning toward

uh well Timu Kiti and deferers to her And then she went, I practiced in China. Hence, Timo attorney. And she is certainly not terribly practiced in the art of spokescriepery.

No, no, no. I don't, honestly, you know the standard for the standard for White House spokescrieps is measured in mooches named after Anthony Scaramucci. And, well, I don't know how many mooches Timu Kady has entered. Let me make abundantly clear. This audio has not been changed. edited, processed. No, this is Katie Zakaria.

I guess you'd say in the wild. Get the hockey puck and the duct tape. Because this is going to make you, or else you may just bolt right out the door and the next thing you know, you're eating dirt and running rabbits. The idea of not spending evenings with my kids, kids are is completely unacceptable so my president or excuse me my husband that's a good one

okay i mean there's some piano music behind it but that's just atmospheric my president i mean my husband blast from the past i'm i'm so old i can remember another time when a uh servant of another Republican president said my husband I mean my president it was the exact opposite and that of course was

kind of sleazy rice goes great with kind of sleazy chicken describing her relationship with a dim leader back in the day I told my husband I mean the president and so now it's

and so the president I mean my husband my president I mean my husband Excuse me, my husband. That's a good one. And something President Trump is delivering on, just like he delivers on every promise. In addition to that, we will be, we will be, we will be, he...

She can't read her script. There is $54 billion tied to the Alaska LNG pipeline. He had a historic one-day war, and now we have a booming economy, and a great relationship with Venezuela. To Venezuela. Oh, honey, I don't think she's a too, I don't even think she's a too mooch.

Be part of this incredible journey together. And with that, I will take your questions here in our new media seat. Yeah, those, those bechy waves, can't cover. up. She's a lawyer? A lawyer? Sure she is. Actually, she claims to have. But again, journalism, various journalism outfits and platforms have looked high and low. She's not a lawyer in California where she's from. She's not a lawyer in Texas where she worked. Judd Legham of popular information who does a heck of a great job with his research. She passed the bar when she moved to China.

Now, what that means, I don't know. I don't know what's required to practice law in China. She got a law degree. There's no doubt about that. But she appears on the law. No bar role in any of the 50 states or Washington, D.C., according to Jud Legham. After graduating from law school in 2011, Zakaria moved to China, where she worked at Zhonglun, a large Chinese law firm. It's quite plausible for a law school graduate who has not admitted to practice law in any state to work for a firm in China,

since the work may not involve American courts. But Zakaria has claimed that while in China, she served. as outside counsel to both the World Bank and the International Finance Corporation. The World Bank and the IFC employing a recent law school graduate of little to no experience as outside counsel is, as Judge Legham puts it, delicately less plausible. You can translate that as not a chance in hell. To be clear, he continued, there is zero chances of, Caria took the Chinese bar exam, she doesn't speak Chinese, and only Chinese citizens can take it.

And apparently her command of the English language based on that clip is not exactly top-notch. But there's another joker in the deck, namely that she's in a tiny, cramped little space, because former UFC, I don't want to get corrected on that again, former UFC hype man, Stephen have another tub of Lard Chung,

refuses to give up his office space. I'd say he's still a little bit pissed that he doesn't get to be the White House spokesbabe. According to CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs earlier today, the current occupant of the large office in the White House, House West Wing traditionally occupied by the press secretary. I think she's missing an adjective.

It should read the current large occupant of the large office in the point. Yeah. So Katie, who is much smaller, is in the small corner office of that suite of rooms. Gosh. nitwit Niro meanwhile refers to Stephen Tub of Lard Chung As in

Have another tub of lard Eat it with a big spoon Maybe Maybe Hairless Hadrick Stephen Miller will share his mayonnaise with you Nitwit Nero calls Chung

My sumo wrestler As well as calling him Luca Brom Does he even know what happens to Luca Brazi in The Godfather? No, he just knows it's a mob reference, and he loves mob references because he fancies himself America's ultimate dawn. See what I did there? Yeah, don't try this at home. Yeah, it means Luca Brazi sleeps with the fishes.

He also, what Nero does. He says that Stephen Chung is a more biased. version of Kim Jong-un. Yeah. Again, UFC hype man. He was hired to be rude and disgusting. Apparently,

and unnamed White House official said after that stunning word salad there at the podium said, she got off on the wrong foot. She needs to get much better,

fast, otherwise she'll break Scaramucci's record. uh one mooch by the way equals 11 days leaving for alaska orange jesus said i say she's very good and uh well let's uh let's check in on a couple of emails um elderly housing issues jeremy said just bring back workhouses i mean we now jail people in some states for medical debt problem solved. Work. Work will set you free after all. Oh, oh. And from Sylvie, home sweet home. Home again. That's wonderful. Now you can rest, says the nurse. Rest. Ha! First chore, lug out all the two-week-old food, or should I say X food from the fridge. Today's task, order from DoorDash, the food replacing the

wiltage, shriveled moldy, or otherwise enhanced inedibles. Other than that, I'm dealing with my broken right hind paw. I'm fine. Love you all. Just treat it gently. Please. No. I'm sure you have a, I'm sure you, I'm sure you're a superwoman. But give yourself a fighting chance, lady. Pretty please. Republican solution, Lee in New York says, well, if you're a senior citizen with dementia, just get a job to get health care. Simple, right? Uh, remind me again, says Lee, about who was screaming about death panels. Yeah, those, those how can days of the, uh, unintellectual stylings of Godzilla from Wasilla,

Caribou Barbie. Democrat death panels. Mm-hmm. Jesus. Lee said, of course she spoke in word salad. How else could nitwit nacho Niro understand her? Yeah. And speaking of word salad, this is Funsies. Let's see, he was in Youngstown, Ohio last night.

Again, nitwit Niro going to states he shouldn't even have to go to. And this word salad came out of his mouth yesterday evening. By the way, a woman showed up to that rally, that clavern, wearing a Release the Epstein Files t-shirt, a man turned around and punched her out and had to be dragged off of her. Now, Release the Epstein Files, let's remember,

is a topic that a vast majority of Americans want to see happen, but the cops came and pulled him off. They dragged her out and didn't arrest the guy who beat the shit out of her. I wish I was kidding. I'm not kidding. But at that clavern, he said, and I quote, Could you imagine 15, 20 years ago, I'd be up here saying,

we will not mutilize your children, the transgender mutilization of your children. You know, in six states, they're crazy what they do. They take your kids. it away, they send them him back, you don't even know what you're getting. It's the craziest thing. Minnesota

is one of those places, by the way. Mutalize. I could have used that as the password, but you all would have been, what? She's slipping? Mutalize. His brain is

decaying daily. Perhaps hourly. maybe even by the minute and they've got him so jacked up on speed or whatever else just to try to get him through these things that his brain

just can't 15 or 20 years ago let's see 26 16 Okay, that's 2011. 20 years ago was 2006, and he was not anywhere in Ohio. He's lost contact with reality.

And of course, there were oodles of empty seats last night in Youngstown. and Caitlin Collins trolled him. She aired footage of all the empty seats and putting the lie to his claim a week earlier that, I've never had an empty seat and I never will. This event was at the Covelli Center. Well, here's the segment from CNN. today.

Hard to know how much you can read into this, but when you even just look at the audience tonight, we have a team of reporters and photojournalists on the ground in Ohio. They show that there were roughly, you know, 400 seats there in that arena. There were some empty seats, as you can see when you look over at the top of that. There isn't a question of, if that's an indication, Karen, of course, and whether or not there's less momentum or fervor for the president or, you know, hard to know. But he is one who's saying there are these big overflow rooms. Oh, yeah, there's thousands.

I can't get in here, right? I mean, he's trying to play this off as though this were the 2016 campaign again or the 2024 campaign and the suggestion that there are all these people on the outside who are dying to get in. Look, I say keep him out there because he is mobilizing Democratic voters. He is doing more for our base, frankly, that particularly given that our candidates are so dramatically outspent. I mean, the crypto industry alone is spending millions of dollars.

I think they just dumped another 10 million in support of Houston in Ohio. So, you know, in many ways when he is showing up, I think that it feels like they're trying to figure out where he can do the least harm and kind of keep his spirits up. But at the same time, it is having an impact on our votes. And look, it reminds independent voters. It may not mean that Republican voters come over to vote for Democrats, but it may mean that out of frustration, they decided to stay home. and it certainly reminds independent, but particularly in the heartland, as Mark was talking about. This guy is the reason that your prices are so high. This guy is the reason that your farm is struggling.

We're also seeing this a huge issue, frankly, in Arkansas, where we're seeing big issues with farmers there. I mean, we're sort of having an issue on the Democratic side. I wish our donors would open their wallets and put more money in because I'm looking at places like Mississippi and Kentucky where we have really strong candidates where I think if we had more resources, we could actually really be in the fight a lot harder. As we look at the midterm elections overall, and obviously the Iran war has had a massive impact on this, just in terms of the numbers. We'll see what it bears out with the votes.

But, Brett, there was something today that stood out where the Washington Post had reported last month that the Pentagon was inaccurately counting the number of troop deaths during the Iran war. They were underreporting it. Heggseth responded to that. The secretary called it disgusting. and fake and said it was not true, that it was a lie. The official death count has been updated now, and it is higher than what it was. When you look at how that's being handled for something that is so

sensitive, and obviously, you know, one of the biggest impact things that a president has to deal with, I wonder what you made of how they've handled it. Yeah, I mean, I think the secretary's comments there probably should have been toned down a little bit, and so we're going to get to the bottom of this, and obviously we have full transparency. Tone down. a little bit from folks I really trust, not on the political side at all. We've had 18 combat deaths, and every death is tragic, but 18. And then there's been two or three more non-combat deaths,

and kind of how you report them, that's actually always an issue. There was an Iranian rocket attack in Western Iraq in 2021, and a U.S. contractor died kind of a heart attack. Is that not from Shrapnel? How that's reported, you always refer to the Pentagon on that? but there's that seems to be what happened here i think the answer from the pentagon particularly sector of defenses in the chain of command is look we're going to full transparency uh you know nobody's hiding anything but it doesn't it doesn't look good

but my understanding we've had 18 combatant deaths and there's been these other been two or three more uh that were not in combat but other means but we got to get full transparency facts on the table that's my understanding yeah alissa as someone who worked at the pentagon i wonder how you see how that played out yeah brethex was tracks and probably where the facts are, but I think it's the response from Pete Heggseth that is problematic and what's frustrating to the American public. This is a man who has scant qualifications for the job. He was somebody who never should have been confirmed in the first place. And at every turn, he uses an opportunity to politicize the military to try to pick

fights with the media rather than to just have ample transparency. American taxpayers deserve to know what their tax dollars are paying for, who we are losing in the war, how many people we have. simply just having an answer. I mean, I dealt with this when I was at the Pentagon. Oftentimes, we would get initial casualty reports and they could change over time. All you need to say is we're going to look into this and we're going to have maximum transparency. But instead, it became picking a fight with the media and, you know, beating your chest. And that's Hegset's default. I don't expect anything different at this point. Liz Phara Griffin, Brett McGirk, Mark Short, Karen Finney. Great to have all of you here tonight.

Thank you for joining us to start the show. Up next, the home today of one of the president. Yeah. But the fact of the matter is there was some genuine 200-proof irony involved in showing up in Youngstown yesterday. The fact of the matter is, he drew, according to one news source, 2,500 to 3,000 people, and WFMJ Youngstown noted that

tarps covered 25% of the seating in the arena and the crowd never filled in more than two-thirds of the open seats left and here's the hilarity it was 2017

when Nitt Nero stood there and said all right don't anybody here sell your homes they're going to go way up in value because the factories are going to fill back up and of course this was roughly the same time period when he was saying here in almost level west by coal trump genie stand oh the coal is coming back And he mimicked shoveling coal while wearing a stupid hard hat at the Civic Center in Charleston, West Virginia. I'm going to bring coal back. Well, coal never came back because, you know, it's a finite resource and all that. But, yeah, don't sell your homes.

That was 2017. because, well, for instance, the Lourdes Town plant for General Motors, which was the biggest employer in the entire region, it shut down in 2019. Is there good news out of all of this? Well, apparently Sherrod Brown, my friends, that African-American senator, Sherrod Brown, my friend,

Oh, yeah, flush flimball. Thought. Sherrod Brown was a black dude. No, really. Moron? Dead moron. Same moron. No, Sherrod Brown is out ahead of John Husted. Heasted.

I've seen Husted, Hoosted, Houston, I don't care. He's a creep. And again, let's remember, he's taken more money from people on the Epstein list than any other politician in the United States, possibly with the exception of, well, you know who. But Sherrod Brown's lead in these final weeks leading up to the election is, outside the margin of error. The CNN poll released showing a 6% 49 to 43

among those so-called likely voters. And Amy, throw the trans kids in the trash acting, is actually up eight points on Wiiwick Ramalama Ding-Dong. in the race for governor in the Buckeye State and make no mistake I want her to win and then I want her to get educated

a lot yeah oh don't sell your homes they're going to be worth so much more when the factories get filled back up yeah and then I love seeing stories like this

because they do remind me that we struggle mightily just to survive, we get so much right. And so now, with us having done analysis of nitwit Nero's behaviors

and done so alongside the 25th Amendment, well, here's former Maga lawyer, George Conway, who how about that he's got a new podcast too psychopolitics

he had a conversation with Jim Acosta and Acosta well we don't have time we don't have time but just the pull clip Acosta said to Conway

after having played the clip that we talked about yesterday of nitwitneros saying i could i could say the stupidest things and you would clap to which the poor little brain-dead maggots then clapped and uh jimicosta then said that well the fact that his mental his his his his mental uh deterioration is quote staring us in the face and said it's a 25th Amendment crisis. I don't know how I'm, you know, we said constitutional crisis long before the multimillionaire for-profit media noted it was such.

And of course, since then, we have moved into constitutional collapse because the norms, norm are not holding. but Acosta asked what do we do with the president of the United States who's unstable and in serious decline? It's just staring us in the face at this point and the more he does the rallies I think the case becomes crystal clear

that we have a 25th Amendment crisis on our hands this is the guy who is giving Vladimir Putin the store when it comes to Ukraine and it is stunning what Ukraine did when they took out that Russian data center and bot farm. The numbers of bots that are offline now are truly stunning. And the bot handlers, well, they're not getting that extra turnip every evening like they were counting on.

And, well, hurrah for you, Vlomir Zelensky. You may have done more good for the American people in that one attack than, than, than just about anything else going on right now. And the way, I've done a little reading, the way that the bots work, if you've ever gone into your local TV news comment section, you will see it, they're all just polluted with right-wing bullshit. Well, those are bots.

that are attacking those news sites, and then they build up more, what, experiential value, and then move into places like what used to be Twitter. I'm so old I can remember when Leon Scum Space Nazis said, oh, I'm taking, I'm going to buy Twitter, and I'm going to get rid of all the bots. Instead, it turned into just a bot clearinghouse for right-wing filth, and his traffic is down. Traffic is down across the internet, just from taking out one shitty Russian data center.

Micah says Reddit is overrun with the fucking things. I think everything is overrun with them, Micah. Jim Acosta went on to say that he feels sorry for the little monkeys who are clapping for him when he tells them they're so stupid they'll clap for anything. It's almost like they feel sorry for him, like he's the last kid picked on the football team or something. Yeah, or something. Or maybe they get that dopamine hit from him. Jesus. Oh, and back to the Timo lawyer.

The Camel Cardinal says, Shame on you for comparing this lightweight little asshole with the great front-stabbing Anthony Scaramucci, that proud son of the great administrative region of Umbria, Italy. And yes, one, Scaramucci is the equivalent of ten days and thirteen hours. Well, the clock is ticking between the Liz Truss head of lettuce and the Scaramucci. Oh, I think this attack blonde is... she may not be up to the up to the job no and it leaves me kind of eager to see what

what comes next and of course there was some grim news earlier today oh wait Cynthia and and still the stupid support the bastard Cynthia says and I bet these stupid people would drink the actual Kool-Aid if Trump asked them to. Jim Jones would be jealous. Yes, but let's remember because we like to be factually accurate here, says,

it was flavor aid. Jim Jones was a cheap son of a bitch. That was the off-brand Kool-Aid. Flavor aid. Yeah. But like I said, some

not great news. Pope Leo, the first American Pope, went in for a little surgery to have a nodule removed from his lung. He's 71 years old. And they turned out they just removed the entire

lower lobe of his right lung because when they got in there they found cancer I mean look Leo Francis they had a bit of reform about them

he has a bit of reform about him but you know he's still out there barking and grunting about how just pick any misogynistic POS issue and

the Roman Catholic Church will be on the wrong side of it. But the official diagnosis is lung adenocarsinoma. It's a fairly, and it's weird to describe it this way, a fairly common kind of lung cancer. Pre-op test gave to the surgeons an idea that that's what they would find. Surgery was about 90 minutes long. and he recovered normally after surgery and is recovering in the hospital.

Yeah, Ralphs keep J.D. away from Pope Leo. Well, hasn't he already met him? I think JD's 2 and O on trying to kill somewhat liberal popes. It's a non-small cell lung cancer. and Leo said when he announced it because he's, unlike this president, who must always be the most physically fit individual, he's candid about his health, and said, I thank you for your spiritual closeness and entrust myself to your prayers.

Well, Leo, if I were you, I would entrust myself. to the surgeons, but weird that way. And this story just kind of grabbed me earlier. What's that, Jeremy? Fun fact about MAGA, Justin Eichorn, the former state senator who coined the term Trump derangement syndrome, or TDS, has pled guilty to child solicitation and is now in prison. Way to go, MAGA. Oh, there's one a day of those.

We can't even keep up here. Used to try, but you can't keep up, no. As to the flavor raid, Cynthia said, P.S., I'm sure Trump would use that too, and he'd make them pay for it first as well. The grift never ends. You are so right. But, like, okay, so everybody knows that I'm a proud daughter of Harvard on the Mon, otherwise known as West Virginia University.

At one time, a pretty great institution of higher learning. At one point in time, we had turned out more Rhodes Scholars than any other university, including the Ivy League. And, of course, Harvard on the Mon is located in Morgantown, West Virginia, Monongalia County. The Monong in question is the Monongahela River. It's the Monongahela River, but Monongalia County. Because way back when the county came into existence

and a delegation was sent from Morgantown to Richmond to file the paperwork, well, we didn't spell real good back then. So what should have been Menongahela County became Mongalia because of a misspill. But anyway, Morgantown is not a big city. It's lively, it's vibrant, it's a college town. Football Saturdays, at least when the mountaineers don't suck, can be absolutely electric. But of late, Morgantown has become more famous for its flock cameras than for its football team. and there have been extremely contentious meetings of the county commission and the city council there in Morgantown

because people, and we're not talking about, I mean, sure, maybe some students too, but we're talking about the people who actually live in Morgantown are making their voices heard in no uncertain terms that they want those goddamn things out of their city. And so now, courtesy of WBOY TV in Clarksburg, this newly obtained network audit logs revealed that over a period of nine months, you're going to be doing some ciphering here. You probably can't help it. You don't necessarily need to. But over the course of nine months, 3,900.

18 separate organizations sent 3,049,590 searches to Little Biddy Morgantown, West Virginia's flock camera clusters. Imagine that. 3,918 organizations over 3 million searches over nine months. that's kind of breathtaking. And if that's for a city the size of Morgantown, what must it look like in big maggot cities? And the story just gets more bizarre. Starting in January 2026, this is some great reporting.

I give props to a local outlet like WBOI for getting this. starting in January 26 the three most likely groups searching for flock camera data from the Montengalia County Sheriff's Office the top three

are in where else takes ass the Texas Department of Public Safety the Houston Police Department and the Dallas Police Department West Virginia law enforcement agencies aren't even in the top 20. And the funny thing is, on an official basis,

Montenegalia County shares its flock data with only 14 organizations, but that didn't slow down the 3,918 organizations who sent searches through. And, of course, somewhere along the way, flock gets paid, for your data. And of course, Fox says, oh, we never coordinate with law enforcement.

Sure. You let the local law enforcement do the coordinating. The larger problem, though, and this is a bit of a buried lead, when organizations sent FOIA request to the Mon County Sheriff's Department,

asking for data sharing agreements, memoranda of understanding or similar agreements with other agencies, on flock and other ALPR cameras. The sheriff's office responded that there were no responsive records. 3,918 organizations,

more than 3 million searches. And what the fuck does Texas have to do with Morgantown? It would be interesting to see how abusive the Houston PD, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and the Dallas PD are with other cities because taxpayer money goes into the personnel who send through the searches. So the American people are literally paying to be surveilled, not criminals, not sex predators

these things surveil everyone and frankly they should be illegal because if a private citizen tried to do it it would be yeah Mike and me too

fucking privacy laws when she says I'm sick of this Orwellian shit good we all should be. And just to keep up with what's barreling toward us via NBC News as of yesterday evening, in Pennsylvania, they have reported yet another measles death. I'm sure a whalehead dead bear

raccoon penis brainworm lamprey was hopping up and down mad over there at the, over at DHS. Yes. It was not a measles death. It was the measles vaccine that killed them. In this case, it was a 39-year-old woman in Franklin County, Pennsylvania. The county coroner's office said she had underlying medical conditions, although, you know, if you get right down to it, most of us do of some form or another. It's endemic to the human condition. According to the Franklin County Coroner's Office, the primary cause of death was a probable acute cardiac event due to possible complications from measles. And of course, of course, the 39-year-old woman was unvaccinated. At 39, that means that her parents, back in 1987, didn't bother to get her vaccinated.

Pennsylvania now has 1,136 measles cases as of last Friday. I guess that's down by one or, but, yeah. Two-thirds of the cases are in adults. Whalehead Dead Bear, well, never mind. We're conducting a thorough review of the reported death. And it gets worse because Dr. Paul Offutt who's a pediatrician and directs the vaccine education center at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia

said I think we're probably closer to 6,000 cases they're vastly underestimating the number of cases it's much worse two children two infants died in Lancaster County Pennsylvania you'd be careful among those English one woman was sick with measles

in August and went into labor a month early, and the baby died shortly after birth, and the other was a six-week-old with a genetic condition. Jesus. I mean, there's some good news. Less than 1% of cases in Pennsylvania have happened in people who were vaccinated. That proves the vaccine doesn't work. Sometimes having all these voices living in my head makes me feel kind of The CDC, who is also probably undercounting, says that there have been 4,080 measles cases this year, the highest since 1991. Funny how that's right there in line with a drop-off in vaccinations. Yeah, exhausting. And it's just, it's painful to watch your country willfully slip into stupidity.

Oh, thank you, Christopher. Christopher just jumped in via Venmo, saying, flocking A. Ah, see what you did there. And so we've got $15 to go on Ralph's challenge, the T-Moo Lawyer Challenge. Thank you, Ralphson. Thank you, Christopher. $15 finishes at that off, and we get down to. 1335, yeah, 1335 in this desperate attempt to keep this little program afloat.

Yeah. From Sylvie, Jim Jones' cheap date. Yes, he did indeed select flavor aid to unalive his minions. If someone decides to off me, I would insist on Verve Clico and Escorto to enable my demise. Sylvie has great taste But then I would encourage all my followers To insist on the original Rather than a cheap copy of whatever you require

For example Never settle for shampoo when washing your hair Ooh I saw this one coming Insist on real poo Yeah Why do we sell shampoo Well played Sylvie, well played

Uh Jeremy adding I suffer the long effects of all the jabs. Sorry, I mistyped that. I don't suffer from any of these shit conditions because of the child adult jabs. No, you don't. You don't.

And that's because your parents loved you and you're intelligent and they're intelligent and therefore you are vaccinated. Oh, and then there's Kimberly Gargoyle. Yeah, we're into the second hour of the program now.

And, you know, nitwit Niro must really hate her. Because they didn't just get rid of her as Ambassador to Greece after she was caught trying to wheedle $100,000 to pay off her Amex bill. No, you can just send it straight to Amex, and that's all they'll be. There won't be any paper trail or anything. Just send $100,000 to Amex. In classic form, nitwit Nero has suddenly forgotten somebody that he swaned around with on a repeated basis,

leaving today for Alaska. Ooh, they're going to have to have him big time jacked up for that. Leaving today for Alaska, what did Delaware? Idaho, Alaska. Never gets old. It was born old. Come on. No, they'll have to have him wired for sound because up there, Mary Pelotola,

who is another Democratic Senate candidate who has thrown trans people under the bus, it's a fad. All the hip young Democrats are doing it. No, they asked him on the way to Alaska about, well, Kimberly Gargoyle, who was at one point in time affianced to Don Jr. If you ever go and look up video

from January 6th, 2021, you know, they had a tent set up, the maggots did, a party tent for their Stop the Steel rally. And in video

of the party inside the tent, Kimberly Gargoyle, ex-wife of Gavin Newsom, also former district attorney, and then Fox News Radio Rwanda talking head, and again, girlfriend of Trader Tot. Well, they asked Nitwitnero about her as he headed off to Alaska to try to save that seat. and he said of

oh yeah he said of Kimberly no she wasn't a member of my family she I guess dated my son a long time ago now is that his dementia or is that just typical usual everyday garden variety

nitwit Nero she was engaged to trade her taught for three years and swaned around Magaloko and swaned around the White House. And then there was, of course, the Republican National Convention where she said, the best is yet to come. Ah, yeah. And so she was told to resign. She was told to play the Roman fool and follow.

upon her sword, which she dutifully did, and then posted online effusive praise for her orange daddy, and said, my gratitude and respect for Daddy and Marco Rubio remain unwavering, and I will be a loyal supporter forever. In other words, please don't put me on a small aircraft and kill me. Yeah, naturally. I didn't try to solicit $100,000. Because, you know, don't believe your lying eyes. Jesus.

And look, a couple of months back, we ran audio from an Oval Office thing that featured Michael and Susan Dell. and at the time it's back there somewhere at the time I talked about how she looked like a hostage in a hostage video well Susan Dell

put something like $6 billion of her money into Trump accounts we have later we have since then found out that it's those Trump accounts for children have been set up as a way for maggots to dump

worthless stock, but she put in $6 billion, and she got $9 billion back in contracts. Not exactly the kind of thing you would... I mean, it ain't exactly like she took a vow of poverty, right? But people have been hounding her, and I guess it started on TikTok. Again, this was a couple of months ago at the very least. and we did the bit and moved on but out in the internet world suddenly she has become a poster child

for bad plastic surgery and even worse makeup and generally speaking I don't I don't go in for that sort of thing of course there's a compelling argument to be made that, you know, billionaires, fair game. Anything goes.

But it has highlighted, and I've seen a number of collages and the like, of all the ladies of Magaloko, and they all have the same distorted, strange face. And frankly, having had some facework, myself, I would be irate if that's what I looked like when I recovered. Because it's so extreme and unattractive.

It is, I won't say comical. It is weird. But now they may be moving away from Susan Dell. She's a Christian. One of these days, some divine will come out and boldly say there is not a single billionaire who claims to be a Christian who is ever going to enter the kingdom of heaven. You know, Yeshua, the brown-skinned Palestinian day laborer and semi-literate itinerant rabbi who wore a dress every day of their life said exactly that without the word billionaire. It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. and the rich man asked him,

what do I need to do to follow you and enter the kingdom of heaven? And Yeshua said, sell everything you own and give it to the poor and follow me. And the only thing the Gospels offer after that is that the young man,

the man, went away for he was sad. Because there was no way he was giving up all his wealth. Anyway, enter Barbara H. Thornhill. She's been named an ambassador at large. I don't know if that requires Senate confirmation.

Assistant Secretary Riley Barnes announced it by posting an excrement over on X, welcoming her to the State Department with the brief of monitoring and combating human trafficking. Riley Barnes said, Ambassador Thornhill, welcome to the team. I'm proud to have such a dedicated leader. Join us as Ambassador at large to monitor

and combat trafficking in persons, and then they posted her official portrait. and people began asking, is that even real? Is that AI? Florida climate scientist Rebecca Jones on social media said, how do I ask this delicately? Was the woman in some kind of tragic accident or is this just an altered photograph?

Tim Miller over at the bulwark being a little bit. Caddy said, important to have someone in this role who will always keep their eyes open for potential traffickers. what can you say is she is that trash Patel's sister

cousin it's almost impossible to look at this photo and think that that has not been fucked with by AI the question is why would you put that out as an official photo I mean this is again

well like the one woman said I'm trying to be delicate here but who would allow that to go out as one's official photo you begin to wonder if these people are real Dean Blundell

I know Ralphs reads Dean every day said she looks like a human Picasso from his cubist phase as to her actual job. Well, Thomas Massey was right there and said start with Epstein's unindicted

co-conspirators. If you want to monitor and and interdict human trafficking. It's unreal.

I mean, if you're old enough to remember the movie The Elephant Man, this is reminiscent. of him. I mean, did she suffer some sort of birth trauma? Or is that just bad plastic surgery work? If it's something over which she had no control, in that case, she gets my sympathy.

But whoever took this photo, well, Uncle Jed should take him out to the woodshed and have a long talk with that boy. Susan Dell and Maga women Lee in New York says why why do these women believe these alterations make them beautiful because Daddy has told them it would

their entire sense of self-worthly is hitched irrevocably to his opinion of them it's tragic so just remember because I'm seriously curious

as to what I mean if you saw her on the street would she look like this photograph I don't know and it's Kimberly Gargoyle it's Laura Looney Susan Dell leave it alone.

On and on and on. Saying it's unreal, Jeremy says. Her photo, that is, isn't fair and quite mean to the game engine known as unreal. She's definitely real, unfortunately, for her. Leave it to juvenile delinquent number two to make a comparison between. Really, a game engine? Yeah. Well, it is.

It is curious indeed. and you gotta wonder how Kimberly Gargoyle feels now that she's been kicked to the curb. There's that, ooh, there's that password again. And, oh, thank you from Jude. A small amount from women standing. My best sent out to the horn community. Always Robin in peace, Jude. Peace, Jude, in these most unpeaceful times.

And thank you. And that leads five dollars to go on Ralph's Timo. Lawyer Challenge. Katie Zakarius. She's got a case of the, of the, a little case of Magaloko face too. And of course, she spent a lot of time on the Fox News TV radio Rwanda couch, barking and grunting about, do I even need to say the topic? I don't think so.

I don't think so. I mentioned measles a little bit ago and how it's burning across the country. No, I'm sorry, juvenile delinquent number two. Have you not learned that you need to think and rethink every word? Do I not entertain you? Am I not amusing? Yeah. I mentioned yesterday, and this is at the very end of the program,

and this is probably an appropriate time to get into it. But in Jaina, people are getting quite nervous. They are people in the northern provinces that border Russia are beginning to stock food, stock supplies, make plans for trying to survive plague because it's being reported as being as being as, as, as, as, having already arrived in China. Frightening, because again, that takes me back to a time when, well, Darlene told us about it.

It was 2020, and it was an ABC Australian Broadcasting Corporation report that talked about people being welded into their homes and raw terror on the streets of Wuhan. I mention all of that by way of preface to something that happened in the United Nations. Where, of course, we are, as we so often are,

a pariah state of late. Oh, God, this is just so... wearisome. But the United Nations put a declaration up for a vote on pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response. Of the membership of the United Nations, every nation voted in favor of the declaration, save three countries. 153 to 3 with two abstentions.

It's fairly innocuous. It talks about how countries can improve how they respond to pandemics that may come along in the future specifically it speaks to creating greater ease of access to vaccines protecting vulnerable populations

strengthening coordination coordination among the family of nations. And it has no, it has, I mean, it has no teeth. It's just a statement of good common sense. But the United States, oh God. Who were the three that voted against this declaration? The United States, Israel, and Argentina.

That's the short list of our friends these days. and with friends like those New Zealand and Paraguay abstained it was supposed to have passed by consensus back in September but the United States and our ambassador

Mike Walts objected and wanted to have an up or down vote the U.S. said there's divisive ideologies that lack definitional consensus

Well, Laura Myers, who offered a lot of commentary during the COVID-19 pandemic, went on social media earlier today and said, They're going to kill us, asking, now, why would the U.S. Israel and Argentina very specifically vote no on a new global pandemic preparedness declaration? Let's think about that for a minute. But when taken in pari materia with other votes that have happened at the U.N., well it begins to make more sense it was 2021 of course when the united states and our partner in peace Israel were the only two nations the only two nations on the planet

who voted no on a resolution that affirmed that having food was a human right we can't do that They got a right to starve, too, don't they? Starve! Again, in 2024,

U.S. and Israel voted no against ending the U.S. embargoed on Cuba. In 2023, the U.S. and Israel, along with Micronesia and Nauru, voted against affirming the right to self-telects. determination of the Palestinian people.

Laura Myers is correct, and I will add to her words, MAGA is a death cult. Maga worships death, as long as it's the right people who are dying. And sometimes the right people can be their own. Sometimes the right people can be Herb Cain, because he attended a rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, got the Rona, and then went off to sing with the bleeding choir Eternal

and was quite surprised when he found out that that wasn't where he was going. I know I'm not supposed to panic, and I'm not panicking. But again, I'm going to name check our dear friend Paul from Parts Unknown, hoping that he catches up with the podcast fairly quickly, and can call in and offer some of his wisdom. as much as he did during the pandemic in regard to this latest allegation of plague. Of course, Nitwit Nero said, Oh no, I talked to Pudy, and Pudy told me he's got it all under control.

And he'd never lie to me. Jesus. Oh, and by the way, just because let's enjoy the whole schadenfreude of it. Here's the note that Kimberly Gargoyle put out after she was unceremoned. She's unanimously shit-canned by her almost father-in-law. Serving as the United States ambassador to Greece has been the honor of a lifetime. I will forever be grateful to President Donald J. Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for entrusting me with the extraordinary privilege of representing the greatest country in the history of the world on Earth now today, forever in the universe under God.

I added some of that, but she really did say greatest country in the history of the world. These accomplishments are a testament to President Trump's bold leadership, Secretary Rubio's commitment to American diplomacy, and the extraordinary men and women who serve our country every day. My gratitude and respect for President Trump and Secretary Rubio remain unwavering. Could I please have some shitty little job like you gave Krusty the nasty Nazi gnome? Meanwhile, amateur spokes creep. uh, Zakaria said, uh, we have asked Ambassador Guilfoyle to resign.

She's been a wonderful asset to the team and we wish her well. Now the day before asked about it, um, Julius Geiser replied, We're looking at it. We're not happy. What? You and that mouse in your pocket, dickhead? Oh, she was so shameless, though. It won't, it won't show up anywhere if you wire money to American Express. Honey, please. I need you to get this done for me today. She pleaded with maggot donor Eric Dieter's.

What, it cost me my marriage? he replied. And she claimed that it wasn't, of course it wasn't for her Amex bill. That was money that she was owed for speaking engagements that happened before she was even nominated to be Ambassador to Greece, saying, I will not allow false accusations to define my decades of public service. Decades? Decades? Does that include First Lady of San Francisco and First Lady of California, was Gavin married to her when he became governor? That should have been a pretty cushy assignment, shouldn't it?

Ribbon cuttings and whatnot. And all the sovlocky you can. and eat, grape leaves, whatnot. Yero! Wait, I don't know, is Yerot even Greek, or is that one of those things that got invented in America like pizza, or Chalmane? Don't know. And by the way, I should note that this is a, ostensibly a radio program for conversations. If there's anything on your mind, feel free to chime in the stress line number.

of course 844-843-4676 and we need five more dollars to finish ralpses challenge if someone can just do that as we try to save this little program and get and go limping into our 21st birthday oh we haven't done this so far this week let's check in with one of those hard-pressed and And much maligned heartland of America farmers, you know, maggot. See how he's holding up. This one is from, thank you, Jeremy. Ralph's challenge is complete. Thank you so much.

No, this particular maggot farmer is from down in South Georgia. I reckon he got some right. right smart amount of rain this past weekend when isaias barreled through. No, but before we go to him. From Bulmer Bob, special warning, correction from yesterday, special warning to Stephanie Guilfoyle. The arrest is yet to come. That is via Glenn Kirchner, former. federal prosecutor. Thank you, Volmer, Bob.

Thank you so much. As to Pouty having the plague under control, Jeremy asks, does he mean Putin means under control, just like they had Chernobyl disaster under control? It doesn't give much hope. It's true.

Yes. Oh, thank you, Clarence. Clarence popping in a la carte. And we are now down to 1310. 1310. Thank you, Clarence. Thank you. That is so helpful. So, yeah, we're about $110 for being fully funded for, not yesterday, but last Monday. So again, thank you so much, Clarence. Anyway, back to Farmer Brown there in South Georgia. Trump says, you know, be patient.

The farmer is going to be better than ever. Well, he better hurry up because we can't stand this much. That was Franz Roland, a farmer here in southern Georgia. He's been farming for more than 40 years, but he said the last year has been one of the most difficult ever. With the prices like they are today, we don't, I mean, we're not going to make any money. We just try to figure out a way to not lose so much. He doesn't blame President Trump for the economic challenges he's facing,

but he said the Trump administration hasn't helped farmers either. We've lost our market share, our trade, to China. I don't know who dropped the ball in Washington to allow these prices. It's trade to diminish like it has, but somebody dropped the ball. I think there's somebody in question there. uh... zbidi zevidae whatever somebody in question you're trying to figure out well you've got a little bit of a metal block buddy uh... because the somebody who dropped the ball didn't so much drop it as he uh stomped it

until it was completely deflated and lying flaccid on the ground placid being a condition with which the person in question is well familiar that it was your orange daddy that you voted for three times. He's the one who put you in these straits, but, well, you just can't quite bring yourself to say it, now can you? Because then you'd have to confess that, well, you signed on for all the cruelty, as long as you thought the cruelty wasn't going to be direct.

directed at you. You wanted to watch Leopards eat other people's faces. Right? Right. Somebody wouldn't look it out for us. They got to get this trade back.

We all gonna be doing that here. But many voters we talked to in Baldwin County, which President Trump won for the first time in 2024, like what they see from his first year in office. Looking at where my 401K is, I'm going to give an A. Overall, I think he was working towards

the goals and the commitments that he made. I'm tired of the United States getting pushed around, and I'm glad he's standing up. He's trying to do everything. Sometimes he tries to do a little bit too much, but I'm happy with him. That last dude was wearing scrubs and a pair of those break-apart glasses

hanging around his neck. My 401K's great. So fuck everybody else. It's about me. I wonder. I wonder how she'll feel when the bottom goes out of that one, you know, with the AI crash or whatever it is that does it. Micah asking, why is it when a Democrat's in office, it's the buck stops with Obama, Biden, insert whomever here. But now it's their team and it's somebody.

Somebody dropped the ball. There's probably Joe Biden dropped the ball. Micah says no fucking sympathy. But I tell you what, if you're Xi Jinping and Vlad Puty, This is gold for you. They're doing what Nikita Khrushchev said in, what, 1960? Bringing America to her knees without firing a shot. Jesus.

And from Sylvie. Sublaki? That's done it. My fracture boot is now filling with saliva. I love Sublaki. Now I'm jonesing for Yama's Greek rotisserie in Santa Fe, and their excellent succulent lamb suvloc. Bring on the Dolmas, the Satsiki, the Spanacopoda, and Baclavah.

Perfect recovery from two weeks of hospital food. Now dialing DoorDash. Oh, I'm jealous. I can't dial, damn it. You know what I've been craving, Sylvie? I'm about to make it worse. Eggplant musaka. Ah, God, I love that bechamel sauce.

And when they do the eggplant, just, oh, God, it's so good. Hmm, but yeah, and the Dolmas and Spani Coppita. Although I must admit where eastern Mediterranean desserts are concerned, I'm more of a fan of, and it gets pronounced different ways, but Kanatha, Kanathi, that's the shredded filo with the sweetened ricotta cheese filling, and it's covered in sugar syrup and baked really low and slow for a long time. Oh, I haven't had that in ages. God, that would be good.

But do let us know what sort of feast you order from Doordash. And what is that? Yama's Greek rotisserie in Santa Fe. I'm going to tell my daughter that if they find themselves in Santa Fe, that they must go to Yamas. Because that just sounds wonderful. Yeah. Oh, let's see here.

Entering the third hour of the program, I mentioned the effect of the data center strike. I mean, it's the most patriarchalienable. It's the most patriotic thing for the American people. And ironically, it was done by a Ukrainian president, ordered by a Ukrainian president. And Zelensky knew exactly what the hell he was doing when he hit it. When we started responding to Russia's operation against our data sentence.

And when our strikes reached Yandex data centers, it suddenly became a little easier. to breeze on many social media platforms. A lot of people, a lot of people noticed it. And there was less hate, less division and fewer provocations. Because there were fewer boats. And it's pretty clear where those boards were coming from. And if they disappeared when Yandex went offline, This proves again and again that Europe is not the source of the problems.

Europe is not the one making everything more difficult. Most importantly, we need people in America every morning. But the day in Europe is already moving toward evening to really see what is happening, to see the truth. Slava Zelensky, Slava Ukraine. It's as clear, and of course, who knows what kind of fits nitwit Nero's throwing. We already know that Leon Scum Space Nazi has had his own fit, posting, Zelensi's gone too far with Melanie DeRigo posting,

when you're mad that someone destroyed the bots driving the engagement on your platform and expose it as a right-wing propaganda machine. Well, you know, anything that makes life worse for Leon Scum Space Nazi has got to be a good thing. By the way, Cynthia says

Trump has a big bowl of flavor aid all mixed up and ready for those folks. Only 25 cents and bring your cup, though, maggots. Yeah, because he's not covering, No. You're right, Cynthia. You're just right.

And this is a little bit of a time travel thing, but it's fascinating because it's funny how it takes years to try to chase down orange Julius Gieser's various and sundry lies. I don't know if it was a slow news day or what, but lo and behold. The United States Navy, according to the Wall Street Journal, apparently wasted taxpayer money and taxpayer time, but they wanted to find the Navy, or they wanted to find the sailor, who years ago, Nitwit Niro claimed, was the inspiration for his undying hatred of electromagnetic catapults. nitwit Nero said

Well his name was Bill Jones He was a Navy catapultor And he loves the smell of steam And apparently this This mystery sailor Told him about what a pain in the ass Those electromagnetic catapults Are

And that He really loved Steam-powered catapults. And then this past August, of course, Nick Witt Nero said, And we're definitely going back to steam. We're going to gut all the catapults out of all the new carriers.

And we're going back to steam. The Wall Street Journal said, The incident sent Navy leaders searching for Jones to figure out what he said that prompted the president to demand an overhaul of one of the most expensive weapons programs in history. Silly.

Bill Jones, the catapultor is right there sharing an apartment with John Barron, his PR guy. But they wanted to find him and maybe send him to Davy Jones's locker because, well, that's nitwit Nero fucking with the Navy's money. And the cost overruns that are going to happen as a result of trying to put steam catapults back in a brand new nuclear carrier are not insignificant. The journal continued and said, they never found him

according to defense officials but they're still dealing with the consequences of the mystery sailor and his chance encounter with the president god damn it you simplet you simplet there's no bill jones there is no mystery sailor

the mystery sailor was bobbing and floating along in the thin gray settlers that slosh around between nitwit near those ears and pass for brains he's a goddamn liar He's always been a liar. Everything he says is a lie. And over at the Hudson Institute, Brian Clark, said,

it's kind of crazy that we'd be overhauling every aircraft carrier because the president had an elevator conversation with a rando sailor. the article finally getting around the Phil Jones may not exist yeah duh life would be so much simpler if every journalism outlet would simply operate from

the opening premise that if nitwit Niro's lips are moving and his voice is making noise he's lying again everything he says, don't sell your houses.

They're going to be so much more, worth so much more, because the factories are going to fill up in Youngstown. And two years later, Lordstown shuts down. And I wouldn't be surprised if you could buy a house pretty cheap in Youngstown these days.

Or what I mentioned earlier. Could you imagine 15, 20 years ago, I'd be up here saying, We will not mutilize your children. The transgender mutilization of your children. You know, in six states, they're crazy what they do. They take your kid away. They send him or her back.

You don't even know what you're getting. It's the craziest thing. You know, when he, well, when the best part of him ran down Mary, Mary McLeod Trump's leg, she didn't know what she was having either that was nineteen forty six they didn't know what they were having and a woman couldn't get reproductive health care then either can you imagine in america where mary trump mccloud trump has a miscarriage and this evil wad of protoplasm never enters the universe but again

mutilizing children steam catapults factories filling back up coal is coming back and on and on they're all just lies but our multi-millionaire

for-profit media treated obvious lies as if somehow or another they might have some reference to the truth. They don't. Brian Clark, whom I noted earlier,

added this could ultimately be a multi-billion dollar change that was resulting from largely this one sailor's interaction with the president. God damn it, Brian, he doesn't exist. This is not rocket surgery. He's not real. Trump just used that as a prop like he uses everyone else,

a prop for his own stupid ideas. This could ultimately be a multi-billion dollar change that was resulting from largely this one sailor's interaction with the president, which is kind of crazy when you think about the level of impact a single person had. Good God! Woo, I want to find Brian Clark and just look at him. What is wrong with you to pretend that this guy is real? Simon Simple and Simon Pure.

Jesus. And an NBC News report, because you may have seen this, you may have seen this because it's been circulating fairly prominently on social media. Wayne County, West Virginia, a little tiny community called Dunlow. And like the rest of West Virginia, Virginia, it went heavily for knit-lit Nero three times. And folks are having a high old time saying, huh, your food pantry is out of food and you're going hungry. Ha ha ha ha, stupid hillbillies, you should have known better.

You should have voted for that. Because that's what monolithic thinking gets you. There's no one, there's no one in Dunlow, West Virginia. who is deserving of food. And we're going to measure whether they deserve that food by how they voted. Yeah, that's sure going to win some votes for the Democrats, isn't it? Let's check in with Meet the Prestitute over on NBC. The crowds have been growing at this food pantry in Logan, West Virginia.

We're barely surviving. Everybody I work for, I talked to. I mean, it's so poor here. We're barely making it. Across the state, it's been getting harder to put food on the table. Sometimes I just sit down and cry. Like when you're looking at your bills or, yeah, and then trying to figure out what you're going to eat out of a can or something.

In Zunlow, West Virginia, Joanne Gerben is one of hundreds of people who count on this food pantry every month. At the time you pay bills and buy food and stuff, you're broke. and your stuff, you're broke. Coal mining jobs once built towns like these, but they've been declining for decades. Now, families here are also paying more for just about everything, cutting into their monthly food budgets. At the same time as demand is rising, the food pantries here say they are getting less food from the Trump administration than they did during the Biden years. Surprise, surprise, surprise. West Virginia voted for Trump three times, and many people here still back the president,

but some say their patience is wearing thin. I love Donald Trump. He shouldn't promise people things that he ain't going to do, though, you know. Trump said it wasn't going to be no wars. America was going to come down to where people be living good over here. They ain't living good. They ain't living good. I know people that's work. I mean, I love him. He lied. Everything come out of his mouth was a lie, but I love him. It's heartbreaking.

But you know the one thing that will not bring them over to the side of light, goodness, laughing at them for being hungry. I mean, hell, coming into this program, I literally did not have enough money to go and buy a carton of milk. That's how bad it's gotten. And it's getting that way for everybody. And grocery prices are insane. I was trying to think the other day, the last time I bought a pound of ground beef.

And it was every bit of two months ago. I mean, a package of... decent hot dogs. Six bucks for five, maybe six. Not the eight pack of yore. Croutin' weanies, beanie weanies. I bake my own biscuits now.

Yes, they're better than the stuff out of the can, but it takes more time. But I do it because $5 for a half a gallon, of buttermilk and $7 for a package of biscuit mix, well, that's going to give me four pans of biscuits where it would get me two cans of refrigerated biscuit dough. But I'm fortunate. I know how to do these things. one of the one of the one of the things that the multi-millionaire for-profit media who parachute into west virginia every time they need somebody they they need to point and laugh at some maggot i mean that one woman's reference to the coal industry has been declining for years no it hasn't more coal came out of west virginia during baroque obama's first term in office

been had in ages. The thing is, it didn't require very much human labor to do it. 10 or 15 cruise missiles worth of ammonium, nitrate, and fuel oil explosives, somebody who knows how to operate a drill rig, some demolitions experts, and some dump truck drivers, and you can take down 5,000 acres of a mountain

and scrape away 6 inch seams of coal and leave the earth a shattered mess and make the shareholders and the sea sweet boys filthy rich and leave people

to die where they stand hunger, disease, the erosion of an infrastructure did them vote that way, do some of that? Yeah, but they didn't. You know who they didn't vote for? Barack Obama.

And mountaintop removal went wild under Barack Obama. I'm not going to sit here and lie about it. And that's the thing. People don't know what, they don't know about West Virginia. Oddly enough, I've been able to chronicle over the 20-plus years we've been on the air here, going back to 2003, the shift. in politics here. And I attribute it to one thing.

Death. The death of the previous generations who knew better. People who were adults in 1929 and had seen the so-called prosperity of the roaring 20s and then had it all yanked out from under them in one fell swoop

and the entire state cast into despair. Well, they learned right then and there that Republicans were not their friends. And they never voted Republican again. My grandmother Kincaid passed away in 1985 at the age of 91. And she had seen it all. She literally saw the first airplane fly over her home here in Fayette County. Not much, not much, not much, not long after the Wright brothers had their,

initial flight at Kitty Hawk. She saw two world wars. She saw economies in free fall and collapse and wondered how she was going to feed her family and was the one who told me, well, the Republican said we'd get three meals a day and we did. Oatmeal, skip a meal, and miss a meal. And she did not for the rest of her life, ever vote for a Republican again. Ever. And up until 2000, West Virginia was a reliably blue state. We voted almost exclusively for Democratic presidents. But in 2000, Charlton Heston came here and at a claverne rally in Beckley, West Virginia said, you need to tell them they can have your gut you need to tell Al Gore

he can have your guns when he prize it from your cold dead fingers and all they roared and flyers went into mailboxes all around West Virginia and one other state, Arkansas showing

a Bible with a dagger through it and saying that Al Gore was going to take away people's guns and Bibles like I said said, my grand died in 1985, 15 years from that to 2000, and her generation was gone. The World War II generation was still around. Coal miners who had worked underground were still around,

and they voted happily for Bill Clinton two times, 92 and 96. But 2000 came around, and it's so sad to remember that if West Virginia, had given our five crummy paltry then electoral college votes. We've got, what, maybe four now? But if we'd given our five electoral college votes to Al Gore, Florida wouldn't have mattered, hanging chads wouldn't have mattered, there would have been no Brooks Brothers riot in Miami. Al Gore would have been president.

9-11 probably wouldn't have been. happened. We wouldn't have wasted trillions of dollars in Iraq and Afghanistan. And, you know, this is me trying to maintain the long view, the constant reminder that all of this shit did not start with Trump. Trump is just the absurdly, the absurd logical culmination of the shit that started the day that Fox News, TV, Radio Rwanda, went on the air, and media consolidation began. After the Telecommunications Act of 1996, a media landscape was peopled by disgusting slugs like flush flimball. That would be a Medal of Freedom winner Rush Flimball. And the generations that could have told, and this old fellow that, that, that, that,

It's in this clip from me to prostitute. He's up there. I imagine he's in his 60s, maybe his early 70s. That puts him a little older than me. But somewhere the transmission of intergenerational wisdom collapsed. Let's go back to him. Because I'm sorry. I'm not going to sit here and fire breathe my hatred.

because I know plenty of people who voted for Trump here. Very few of them are of the fire-breathing variety. Most of them voted for Trump because they were told by their preacher to vote for Trump. Or they were told by Fox News, Radio Rwanda, to vote for Trump. Or they voted for Trump because their neighbors were voting for Trump, and they wanted to be part of the in-group. But these are the same people. who will share their last scraps of food with each other.

And with you, if you're in hard times, people with breakdowns on the side of the road in this state don't go without help for very long. And as often as not, it's not the courtesy patrol or the cops. It's just somebody pulling up and saying, hey, you need help? And Micah points out, yeah, it's all by design. Yeah, it was. You had to break the blue states.

and see there are other aspects of West Virginia that most people never think about the people who har, har, har, they voted for this, they deserve it over on social media they don't know about the Pitson strike they don't know about

Don Blankenships' relentless efforts to break the UMWA his successful efforts to break the UMWA they don't know about how the UMWA killed it well they participated in its own demise by endorsing that very mechanized form of coal extraction that I mentioned earlier that's flattened more than 500 mountains covered more than 2,000 miles of streams in central Appalachia

and the UMWA signed right on and watched their union die The once powerful UMWA is a shadow of its former self. But then again, in 2008 and 2012, the UMWA, which had historically endorsed Democratic presidential candidates said, oh, no, I don't know if we can endorse that Negro. I'll never forget May of 2008 in the primary that Hillary, that Hillary won handily, even though she was already toast. And they interviewed a Democratic, some media outlet interviewed a Democratic voter.

A Democratic voter who said she voted for Hillary because I don't think we're ready for one of those people in the Oval Office. Decades of dumbing down people have done their work. And so, yeah, let's listen to this fella for another minute or two. And listen with, listen actively. People things that he ain't going to do, though, you know. Trump said it weren't going to be no wars. America was going to come down to where people be living good over here. They ain't living good.

Okay. They ain't living good. I know people that's working right now, barely making it. Bill Lykins runs a Dunlow pantry. Each car gets two boxes. Each car serves 700 to 800 households a month. He says in August, it received about two and a half pounds of food per household. A few years ago, he says it got 20.

Bonnie knew some a retired school bus driver used to take lichens to school. Now, she's depended on him to put food on her table. And if it weren't for this food pantry, that Bill's doing, we would be in trouble. It's an issue that extends beyond West Virginia. An NBC News survey of the largest food banks across 35 states in Washington, D.C., found that nearly three-quarters said, more people are showing up at their doors over the past year, driven by higher costs and cuts to food stamps under Republicans' so-called Big Beautiful Bill. At the same time, more than 80% said the food and funding they received through the U.S. Department of Agriculture has dropped.

Last year, the Trump administration cut nearly $1 billion in planned spending by the Biden administration to support food banks. I really thought President Trump would move right on in and take care of everything. He's disappointed me. In another corner of West Virginia. Honey, he doesn't care. You are less than the dirt beneath his cancels. You thought he was going to move right in and take care of everything?

Who gave you that idea? It certainly wasn't anyone who knew anything about his track record. It wasn't anyone who knew anything about his track record. knew about all his business bankruptcies. Maybe it was your preacher in the pulpit told you that. But when he told you that, he wasn't telling you that he was a serial adulterer and violator of the Ten Commandments, that he had le that, that he had coveted his neighbor's ass and his wife and his wife's ass, that he had cheated on his first wife with his second wife and cheated on his second wife with his second wife,

with his third wife and had cheated with a sex worker while his third wife was laid up from giving birth. Nah, they didn't tell you any of that because you don't trust that liberal media. Salt of the earth. But God. Yeah. Donna Patterino says a number of families at her pantry has doubled in the past year. While the food she gets from the USDA has shrunk. There's some months you don't get anything, but maybe some canned green beans.

And we're thankful for anything. There may be some times that you just get 48 cans of peaches. The USDA says it has not reduced the amount of food to provide. That's a lie. NBC News Meet the Prostitute lady. That's a lie. Why are you repeating that lie? Let the facts speak for themselves.

The White House says the president is uplifting Americans through tax cuts and efforts to boost jobs and business investments. There ain't going to be no jobs and there ain't going to be no business investments in southern West Virginia. The whole area is a ginormous superfund site. Oh, God. It's exhausting and heartbreaking. faith and not by side because if i'm looking i see a bunch of people in washington who are out of touch a message echoed by those patarino is there to help i mean it's just like washington's turned her back on that's just what it feels like that's because they have ma'am they have and west

Virginia told them to do it. Some of us here, we're begging West Virginia not to, but here we are. And I don't know how many of these people are starving to death, but they're going to starve with the warm knowledge that at least a 10th grade little girl can't run track with the other little girls. Oh, that'll keep you warm at night. Yeah. They just turn her back off. And Shannon, Pennypiece joins us now. Shannon, the folks you spoke to say they're disappointed with President Trump, but are they ready to voice that disappointment at the ballot box?

I mean, I think that's what we're all sort of waiting to see, Ryan, in the midterms, is, does disappointment, frustration in President Trump translate into voting for Democrats? Not in West Virginia, Shannon. Because, well, we've got one young woman running, Rachel Fetty She's running as the Democratic nominee Against Shelly Moore Capito Shelly Moore Capito probably doesn't even know her name

Democrats are talking about flock cameras Data Centers Hunger The high price of groceries, the high price of gas The lack of access to health insurance and the other side is talking about you know what they're talking about

because they can't talk about anything else but we really don't I mean we have candidates running they don't have any money I mean Riley Moa remember what was his name Riley Rattler Ricky Rattler

of the Rattlers played a clip from them a few nights back, him, and his heart-stirring lyrics about, "'baby, I'll leave you in a ditch "'because I'm drunk and I'll beat the shit out of you "'or whatever it was. "'He's going to get sent back to the House of Representatives "'even if every state in the Union gets rid of their maggots.

crazy Carol Miller who says she prays to Jesus before every vote and then turns around and votes just like Daddy Donald wants her to do because she thinks Donald's Jesus she's probably going back and the closest thing we have to political drama in this state

is whether in 2028 make West Virginia great big old Senator Jumbo Justice challenges Faddy Patty the pill rolling Trent and Troll for the governorship of this state and they're both maggots.

Yehaw! So I don't know we have some great candidates on the local legislative level will they be able to break through the noise? I don't, I sincerely do not know. And I don't know how to get through this through,

but we have if we as progressives want to ever be in the ascendant we've got to stop laughing at the funny hillbillies who talk funny and quote unquote vote against their own interests it's exhausting I keep saying that Charlie thank you so much Charlie at APS Radio News just took us down

from 1310 to 1180. And that means that last Monday is fully funded. And a chunk of $20 worth of last Tuesday. Charlie, thank you. I cannot thank you enough. Times are dire here. And we got a long way to go in a short time to get there. from Christopher out in Oregon, West Virginia voters.

Just got some stuff from the dollar tree. I double-checked, no man sperm slimes me the best I'm aware. Good for you. Happy to hear it. The sloppy Joe sauce is still cheap there. Like you said, it's terrifying getting the ground beef, even that pink slime stuff from the beefy South American oligarch is fuck all expensive. Clips you played are indeed heart-wrenching.

Then I remember they voted for the orange dirty diaper flimflam man, once, twice, three times a maggot. Yeah. And the question is why? Why, Christopher? Why did they do that? Why did a state that was, I mean, when I came here for good, which would be basically, I mean, I graduated from WVU in 1985,

went away for a couple of years, came back in 88, And from then on, I just stayed. When I came back for good, the Republican Party in this state could, if they rioted, they didn't have enough numbers to turn over a phone booth. There were still phone booths back then. And money was, dirty money was poured into this state, playing and praying on every perceived flaw, every, every perceived flaw, every, every pressure point, whether it was religion, guns, well, back in 2000, it was the three Gs, God guns and gays. And back then, they were saying the same thing about gay people, primarily gay men, that they're now saying about trans people.

Oh, they're grooming. They're grooming your children. and they're trying to recruit them to choose the gay lifestyle. It was infuriating then, it's infuriating now. But that shit, but the thing is, Republicans are always political opportunists. They will say anything, do anything to achieve political power. And then, of course, their primary focus is not on the people of the country. It's party first.

It's always been party first. and people get left behind and they're told to warm themselves in the knowledge that this outgroup or that out group is by God going to take it on the chin once they... Yeah. When people forget what Republicans do, you get Republican governments.

And that's not just in West Virginia. And I have long said that there will be no revolution as long as the cable stays on, but we're getting closer and closer to the cable going off. And by the way, Ralph says, yay, for all the people contributing. Yes, indeed.

Yes, indeed. Lee says 1310 to 1180 worth a cow bill for a triple-digit donation, in my opinion. Yes, it absolutely is. Thank you, Charlie. Thank you, Lee. Oh, with regard to Clarence helping out this evening,

Jude says, listening and reflecting to the flow of our horn, and yes, Clarence visits, there's a story of a semi-truck driver and yours truly today at the best food truck ever, yum, meticulous food truck with a variety of offering,

so this day at Evo, a semi-truck driver, a warehouse housekeeper meet, and Clarence offers funds. Grand alignment for tonight. Thank you, Jude. Love to know what was on that food truck. Hmm. but, you know, ever since Sylvie wrote in, I've got...

I've got eggplant musaka on the brain, and no way to... But, you know, sometimes, you know, there may even be some in the freezer. Frozen Spanacopoda. That might be a nice snack for the evening. Because we're living out of the fridge and the freezer and the canned goods that are sitting around. Let's let Shannon Petty Peace have the last word. here? Because I did hear a lot of people mention how they feel like, well, you know, they're not happy with the job the president's doing, but it's an improvement over Democrats and the economy

that they saw during Democrats. I mean, I will remind everyone, though, that in a place like West Virginia, even though President Trump won it with 70 percent of the vote in 2024, it was only a couple years ago they had a Democratic senator. And back in 2017, they had a Democratic governor. So this is a state. They had a Democratic senator. She is, of course, talking about Joe to the mansion born. He was a Democrat the way I'm the Tsarina of all the Russians. Where Democrats have controlled.

And when I talk to people about that and their feelings about the Democratic Party, they were still a lot of issues and concerns they had with Democrats about things like immigration, social issues around the, things like race and gender. But there was definitely this dissatisfaction with the president and Republicans and potentially an opening if Democrats can find that right

message and that right... Race and gender, Shannon? Really? Now see, this is another one of those moments. Why do you do their work for them? Why? Oh, well, multimillionaire for-profit media, right?

Micah had just said, I'm just eating a potato with some canned chili over it, along with some cut-up broccoli and carrots from a veggies. It's not much, but it's what I got. It's a great time to fire up mate one if you can find it somewhere. All we got in common is their misery, Joe Keeney hand used to say, and the least we can do is share it. Yeah. And from Cynthia, milk is expensive.

I quit buying the gallon size of milk a long time ago, unless it's on sale, which occasionally happens. I either buy the quart size or five bucks, which is more than a gallon used to cost or skip it all together. What does a family with kids do? Water it down? There's always powdered milk. Yeah. But, I mean, I shop sales.

And oddly enough, this just kind of dawned on me. Up at the pig, they had in their deli, they've had a, in their deli, they've had a brink. brand of American cheese. No hate. I don't want to hear about the Swiss and the cheddar and the no, just stop.

Remember, we're talking about affordability here. But it's been on sale for like 3.39 a pound. Which is actually cheaper than the stuff over in the dairy aisle that's wrapped in plastic. And I can get it cut as thick as I want

and been eating a lot of grilled cheeses. And cheese. And cheese bits. biscuits. But anyway, this stuff's about 340 a pound. And what I had usually purchased in the past was a brand called Amish Farms. I think it comes out of the Buckeye State. But I tried this corner shop brand. I hope the fuck it's not from Argentina.

I don't know. Give them cows a good milk and never mind. before you, never mind. And I was trying to, I was trying to, and it just tastes so much better than the Amish farm stuff. And then it dawned on me. A memory from far, far distant in my past. It tastes so good because it's like commodity cheese. And I know, I know there are members of this community congregation. this little family

who know exactly what I'm talking about when I say commodity cheese God bless America that stuff was delicious made the best mac and cheese you ever ever had rich and cheddary and son of a gun melts real nice

that's why I like to use it for grilled cheeses because it melts all nice and gooey and it's not all fatty and slimy like using you know Swiss or cheddar or something. But there she is. Doing the devil's work

by repeating talking points from the Maggot or White House issues of race and gender. The fuck. Candidate to position it

in a state, you know, again, that has had a history of supporting Democrats. Yeah, good for you, Shannon. I wonder if you have to actually worry about the cost of ground beef. How long has it been since you tucked into a nice steak, Shannon? These are hard times and they're going to get harder. And they're not going to get, and they won't get better immediately, even if there's a blue flood of biblical proportions on November 3rd.

We still have to live through a lame duck Congress. and whoever gets elected actually has to be seated and then for two years it will be a matter of trying to just stop the hemorrhaging and like I said it gives me the horrors those squishy middle of the road

mugwump Democrats who say I don't think we should I don't think we should impeach anybody it won't do anything anywhere would they say that if they knew I think those squishies would still be saying that even if they got 67 Democratic votes in the Senate because it's who they are.

I don't know. It's exhausting. Cynthia says, it's like I always say, I would never ever vote for a goddamn Republican ever. Get a clue, people. I wish I could fund a huge road signs all over Red State America with that. Yeah. Well, what was that clip we had earlier?

It's a pity We don't have more money. Democrats don't have more money Because we could win in places like Kentucky. Yeah. But the people who give the money determine where the money goes. Like, you know,

Marcy Kaptor in Ohio Who actually made a Republican light ad Disgusting. But here we are. Here we are. So, Hmm. I guess that's, well, no, since I was banging on the for-profit media for a minute, there's another story out there. And it has to do with C. BS News and their desperate attempt to keep 60 minutes alive.

what it boils down to is on 60 Minutes Sunday night Ted Cople 84-year-old Ted Cople has signed on as a contributor to 60 Minutes and C, BS News and Barry Weiss, but it's kind of a buried lead sort of story. Cople was brought in

and given the plum assignment, I'm sorry, not 60 minutes, CBS Sunday morning. He's a senior contributor with C.B.S. News. And I used to love CBS Sunday morning. Lovely esoteric stories, yeah. But for Sunday's CBS Sunday morning, Ted Cople interviewed, wait for it. the man who looks like rancid hot dog water smells Stevie three shirts the convicted criminal Steve Bannon

he may he may yeah he may have a pardon in his pocket but that does not obviate the conviction Coppel asked him uh

uh when he said uh The president, quite clearly, has lost a step or two. And Stevie three shirts, looking as fetching as ever, said, Oh, I don't agree with that. He's working 20 hours a day. Koppel followed by saying, Trump's lost his fastball.

He's not as quick as he used to be. Why would you say that? I say that because I see what he looks like. I don't think Americans have ever been quite as embarrassed by their president as they've been by Donald Trump. Oh, that's the media and the East Coast elite. And then Bannon's tried to play the anti-Trump bias card. Koppel eventually said at some point you have to acknowledge he's not all there.

And laughing, the man who looks like rancid hot dog water smells said, I don't acknowledge that. I would tell you, yes, that he's lost a step if I saw it. fucking liar fascist piece of shit and the question then okay coppel challenged Bannon Bannon lied Bannon's a liar why well we know why because it's C

BS News ergo skydance ergo maggot media and a little fascist fun girl Barry Weiss why would you ruin somebody's Sunday morning with Steve Bannon He was put there by Barry Weiss and others to say,

No, Donald Trump's just fine. He's not, he's not crazier in a sprayed roach. No, I'd tell you if he was crazier in a sprayed roach. And I'm kind of like shame on you, Ted Koppel, for giving legitimacy to see BS News, now that it is a deader than Pharaoh's cat. Yeah, when the history of all this is written, the servile nature of the multimillionaire

for-profit media has got to have its own chapter. Micah noting, uh, if by working, he means napping 20 hours a day. It was a puff piece. It was done for an audience of one, whether Ted Cople recognized that or not. Could you not find somewhere else to work, Ted? Anywhere? I mean, start a podcast. Coppill-Aton with Ted Cople.

see it's easy all you got to do is crawl in behind the mic three hours a night open a vein and you know right but that's the program y'all 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 a la carte contributors thanks to each and everyone who made things a little bit better today we'll keep out it let's see we got down to 1180 so we'll be at 1480 tomorrow and just keep trying I got about two more days before I'm no long well you know I've already told you but thanks and thanks to our PayPal and Patreon subscribers thanks to those of you who contribute by it via cash app thank you Christopher and I mean by Venmo and Cash App. Thank you to those of you who use the United States Postal Service. Please stay safe out there.

I did see the story a moment ago that I'd been trying to find in my vast stack of stories. There it was just a minute ago. There it is, yeah. In China, as I mentioned twice now, Well, Jan Zhang Huang, who is a senior fellow for global health at the Council on Foreign Relations, pointed out rumors floating around on what used to be Twitter, and said that posts on Chinese social media, which is far more locked down than being an authoritarian state,

and perhaps less prone to being attacked by bots, and this information was coming out after Zelensky and Ukraine took out the massive bot farm, so that adds a little bit of credence, I think, to the story. Anyway, Jan Jong-Wong said that social media posts in China have begun to appear urging residents of the three northeastern provinces to stockpile food and protective supplies with some warning of possible future lockdowns. Wong added separate anonymous claims circulating on X alleged plague cases or deaths in Shanghai and Chongqing linked to recent Russia travel.

These reports, rumors have not been confirmed. No official Chinese announcements have confirmed related cases in the northeast, Shanghai or Chongqing. Not that they would. What Mr. Wong said was brought to light by an author named Annie Jacobson, who just posted what he said with the wide-eyed emoji. Chinese commentator Wen Yun Chow asked whether the authoritarian government was going to implement lockdowns again, and meanwhile other outfits trying to be responsible.

Stay calm. Stay calm. The World Health Organization has said the risk is moderate to low in Irkutsk and low for Russia generally and very low for Europe. Curiously, no mention of China there. The thing is, it is treatable by antibiotics, but you have to have physicians trained to recognize it. and to treat accordingly. Well, anything along those lines, we do not have in the United States
