The password is Conifian. 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 mountaintop removal, CRMW.net. And now, from high in the hills of West by God, Virginia, here she is. Roxanne Kincaid. Well, howdy. And here we go, off and running on this 14th day of May, 2006.

This is the horn head-on. Live is where you'll find us on the interweb tubes. That's where you go. If you'd like to be part of the Merry Wacky Zany Real-Time Matcat Multimedia Extravaganza, that is the horn chat room in the old holler tree in the three hours in which this program is live, Monday or Friday, 5 to 8 p.m., Eastern daylight time, 2 to 5 p.m. Pacific daylight time, all time zones in between, and the Great Globe round, and whatever time it is when you're listening to the podcast. Thanks for sharing your time. Listening to the podcast, if you remember the podcast and contention of the Horn family community congregation. Again, I appreciate it, and we all enjoy being in your good company.

And if you could take a moment, leave us a remark, a review, a comment, wherever it is you download the podcast. Depending on what your platform lets you do, it sure is helpful. And thanks to those of you who are already doing it, it means a very great deal indeed. Hi, I'm Roxanne. If you're listening live, well, feel free to pop over to the aforementioned old holler tree. It's easily accessed there on the chat room page at head-on.com. And I'm sure folks will be happy to see you. It's an extension of the Discord server that we use for Friday on the front porch and so forth.

And so, you know, it's there 24 hours a day, seven days a week, not just the three hours when the program is live. But at any rate, yes, it is thorn in the side. Thursday here and we've got a million things to delve into, not the least of which is the fact that Nitwit Nero did exactly what I expected that brain dead

aggregation of petty jealousies and ignorance and well brain damage to do he's selling out Taiwan and

you know for the community here it's kind of personal because one of our longest standing members of the community is a dear friend Horst there and Horst is an expat American in Taiwan and I'm worried. I'm worried for Horst and his family. Every norm is shattered, you know? I don't mean to start this on a downbeat, but I was talking with Chris in Germany messaging earlier and I told her. I said, I'm morally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually exhausted. And she agreed. I mean, I think we all are.

Maybe that's part of the downturn in engagement here. I know Matt and San Francisco's talked about exhaustion and just not, and I feel it. I really, really do. So, you know, big sympathies. I just feel like I have to stay on top of these things so that I won't be surprised by the next round of horrors, criminality, you know, whatever it is that these monstrosities get up to next. It's a lot.

And I had a very lovely note after the program. yesterday from Steve in Georgia stand all-around great guy who said that yesterday's program was damn good headed out of the park

driving in my lane Robin I've been screaming on the back porch for a month now where the fuck is Tom Cain Jr. And Steve also said I love thee there is no left segment preach

that phrase is about as phony as the left-wing media it does not exist i do not know if it ever really did well it's entirely a creation of the fascist right and to them anything anything to the left of uh the jenghis khan is wild-eyed marxism that's how goddamn dumb they are uh in point of fact and something else steve pointed out i wasn't aware of it. So I'm really grateful that he told me.

We closed out talking a little bit about Epstein. And Steve said, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee held a field hearing in West Palm Beach this week to hear testimony from survivors. Nobody covered it. Not C-SPAN, nobody. It's on YouTube, and I caught it. It's brutal to behold, but we are witnesses. to the first draft of history and it might be worth

your time to look for it on YouTube. Shame on the media outlets that ignored it. You know, really. And of course, every program here at the Horn begins with gratitude, and this program

isn't a difference, so thanks go out to our 14th day of the month subscribers and contributors via PayPal. And that means thank you. Thank you, Ralphs. And thanks to Matt in San Francisco. Thank you both for being partial sponsors of the program.

Thank you so much, Ralph, and thank you, Matt. And I had some more correspondence between yesterday's program and today's. Among other things, Auntie Kat wrote in and said, I'm putting forward a $300 glad the puppy liked destroying the Trump doll challenge such a good boy good luck

he is a very good boy but I tell you what he worked over that Trump toy like nothing I mean I've seen him he can tear up some toys he is what they call a heavy chewer golden retrievers often are but I mean he he he he he worked it over like he hated it I mean you can tell the toys that he's affectionate toward

because you know he walks around he carries them in his man he's got you know he's a retriever he's got a very soft mouth oh but not that one oh hell no he ripped into it like again like he hated it like it was something evil like it was something that he had to defend his family against. Our fur babies, no. They do know. So thank you for the challenge, Auntie Kat. Thank you very kindly indeed. And hopefully, well, hopefully that challenge will get met.

And more good news. I also had a note from Vince regarding one of the stories in yesterday's program. Vince said, good afternoon, Roxanne. Good afternoon, Vince. I hope all's well, or at least as well as this timeline will permit. Ain't that to truth? My schedule has been chaotic lately, and as a result, I haven't been able to listen to the program in a while.

On the day I return to listening to the podcast, I'm greeted the story not only from my beloved home state of Wisconsin, but from the high school I graduated from. Oh, my God. The little wonders that transpire on this. program. Yeah, Watertown High, class of 2014, fuck the goslings.

They're the goslings? I missed all. Okay. But fuck the goslings. I attended that beshitted institution of undereducation. Tell us how you really feel, Vince. Alongside classmates and a few teachers telling every manner of racist jokes and terrified of catching the gay, I'm heartened to hear about the wall.

walk out in the general solidarity. Maybe this current crop of students and faculty has improved since my time there. The school board clearly has not. I did a quick search of Sam, what's his dick? Perfect. From the school board, and based on his official Facebook where he posts about boys and girls' locker rooms and the CRT, I can assure you that, in fact, you do not want to see his browser history. Oh, no, no, no.

I get that, man, so I would have to be like, I'd have to have like a total, you know, moon suit containment unit on just to even fire that thing up. And I can imagine you probably showered in bleach once you were done. I remember some years back, Vince continues, you covering a story about the Nazi students at Baraboo High in Wisconsin, giving the stiff arm salute and thinking, dodged a bullet. Yeesh, that was a close one.

Well, here it is. I knew if I listened to the program long enough, the day would come. I love my home state, and in these days of 113 degrees, I pine for it mightily. Throughout my life I've had to deal with the fact that a state I love is beset by backwards-ass racist, homophobic, xenophobic motherfuckers, a problem with which I know you are well acquainted.

I'm even perhaps fluent in it, thence. Not in the, well, you know what I mean. Every program here is an exercise in these horrid people that somehow take up residence in my psyche. But Vince continues and says, Having grown up in a pro-labor progressive family, yay. I started hearing about the Wisconsin idea practically from the crib, and I weep for what my state was and what it has become.

I've long struggled to understand the duality of Wisconsin's progressiveness and white-wing backwardness, but then again, I could be speaking about the entire country. Well, amen to that. I'm cautiously optimistic that with recent winds in the state, the pendulum may be swinging back. There are a lot of progressives, even in Watertown. However, they frequently get drowned out by the aforementioned racist, backward-ass rednecks. And that's always the case, because it's always a noisy plurality.

In that story yesterday, for instance, three parents held out their children from playing in a symphony, the school symphony, three out of somewhere near 40 students, because their parents didn't want them playing none of that queer music. Wrong accent, I know. But those three, like I said, I'm sure are the ones who started beating the drums, and then they had, I'm sure, also some 501C3 tax-exempt grift to jump in alongside and amplify and catapult. the propaganda as

dim leader once said he tried to kill my daddy fuck him we're taking out you damn he he like I said the things live in my head but that's how these things

happen they're a minority they are dumber than a bag of hair and yet they get amplified they get the attention so I guess that

kind of explains it, but Vince closes saying, I was also concerned to hear about the funding struggle. That's a hell of a deficit. I'd like to put forth a $500, fuck the Watertown School Board Challenge. I'll match every dollar sent into the program

until the end of the week. Well, that means we have today and tomorrow. And so we have $300 courtesy of Auntie Cat. We have $500 courtesy events

and we still have Ralph's challenge from yesterday for a grand total of $825 worth of challenges which would

and this is kind of wild to consider which would wipe out the deficit from April and that's profound because the deficit from April is somewhere around the call sign of one of the old radio stations where I worked,

1450, or not the call sign, but the frequency. And so if we meet these three challenges, that will in turn wipe out the April deficit and get us fully funded for the first day of May. And more importantly, allow for some rather critical bill paying. So thanks in advance, and hopefully we can have an absolute flurry of challenge responses. This is a chance for you to turn any amount of money up to $825 into $1,6,150. But 5 becomes 10, 10, 20, 20, 40, et cetera.

But that would get us down from the current deficit of $4,000 to $4,000. $150, well, down under the, well under the half a month unfunded level. So, fingers crossed. And thanks so much, Vince. And thanks so much, Auntie Kat. And thanks, Ralph's. Thank you all for helping to keep this going and providing encouragement for others to jump in on keeping progressive liberal broadcast. independent, non-commercial, non-capitalist,

yeah, broadcasting alive and afloat. And signed much love, Vince in Arizona, Stan. Yeah, the 113 degrees was kind of a giveaway. But, yeah. But I tell you what, not to talk, not to be like an old coot talking about the weather or anything, but you know how warm it got here today? I'm done saying Mother Nature's offer men.

I just, I want to have a word with Mother Nature. It may be send her to the Grippy Sock Hotel. I don't know. 48 degrees was the high today, and with the winds it felt more like 39, after Mother's Day. We may have a frost tonight. Well, you know, there we are. Because there's no such thing as climate change. I don't know if you're seeing these stories, but they're saying there's a substantial likelihood of a real mega nasty El Nino coming later this year,

which would mean massive rains for Southern California. Here in Appalachia, drier than usual, over the coming... I don't want to talk about the coming winter, damn it. I can scarcely even stand to say it. But, yeah. And of course, it's driven by... uh rising water temperatures in the uh tropical areas of the uh well the tropical and central pacific and i'm sure that has nothing whatsoever to do with oh yes it does

fucking dug bergoom yesterday uh can we also add into that uh that china is the world's largest emitter what do you care i thought i thought y'all said climate change wasn't real But, well, that was yesterday. We have a whole new raft of idiocy to get into today. Ah, Jesus. I'm not kidding. Thank you, Sylvie. Sylvie says, please tell listeners that some of us are bleeding,

but even so we're giving what we can. Please help. Sylvie asks you to stand where I cannot. Sylvie, we love you. Thank you. and we will hopefully do exactly as what you suggested. And from Charlene and Rogue's Island, 100. Thank you, Charlene.

I've got a story in the stack. There must be something really special about Rogue's Island. I mean, I know there is. You know, Rhode Island, well, not introduced, but cultivated Ted Turner's love of yacht racing and introduced him to the high seas, I guess. And you've got a pair of good senators there. Must be nice. And then, well, let's just jump into it.

Will wonders never cease? This is a heck of a note. A federal district court judge, a maggot appointment, in Rose Island, Judge Mary McElroy, absolutely dropped a hammer on this entirely corrupt criminal, unethical DOJ, as currently run by that legal eagle, that noble pleader Todd Blanchie, so good at his job that he got his own client

hung out for 34 felonies. But Judge Mary McElroy, again, appointed by Donald Trump himself, absolutely blistered the hide off of the DOJ on Wednesday evening yesterday, citing appalling conduct by the DOJ, it all turned on a tranche of subpoenas. Writing over the course of 24 pages, Judge McElroy quashed with extreme prejudice, I'd say.

Well, prejudice, I don't know. But no, she quashed a living shit out of a DOJ subpoena fishing expedition against Brown Health's Rhode Island Hospital. You can probably guess what they were after. They wanted all the records of all the patients receiving gender affirming care and or surgery at that facility. and they wanted the actual personal information of the patients. And Judge McElroy was having absolutely none of it. Among other things, she said, the discrepancy between the honorable conduct expected of federal prosecutors

and DOJ's tactics in this case is unsettling. Now, when a U.S. District Court judge uses language like unsettling, that means she's disgusted. She said, the United States Department of Justice possesses immense prosecutorial authority and discretion. As citizens, we trust that federal prosecutors, when wielding this awesome power against a state, a company, or certainly against vulnerable children, will play fair and be honest with its counterparts. and the judiciary. DOJ, ooh, I'm sure as soon as he gets back from

Janie, nitwit Niro will probably post a tripe social tripe about this judge because she said DOJ has proven unworthy of this trust at every point in this case. And then she went point by point

and not only nailed them but countersunk the nail. because they wanted the records of every minor patient who got gender affirming care at Rhode Island Hospital going all the way back to 2020 and they didn't just want you know person number one

no they wanted the names the addresses the phone numbers they wanted the social security numbers the clinical histories the diagnoses and the families information So the family information could include, oh, what, non-trans siblings in whom the federal government has no interest whatsoever, and in its effort to somehow justify this disgusting conduct, this fascist conduct, the DOJ said, oh, we need this because we're looking into possible violations of federal drug laws because of off-label prescribing of puberty blockers and hormone therapy. And Judge McElroy looked at that and said, no, fuck that too.

She said federal courts, including the first United States Circuit Court of Appeals, have recognized for eons that doctors legally prescribed FDA approved drugs for off-label uses. there's all kinds of them. I mean, gosh, I'm so old that I can remember when the pharmaceutical companies researching blood pressure issues accidentally developed a pill that gave dirty old men erections. Tadda!

Instead of them accepting their bodies as they are and accepting that God didn't want them getting those anymore. Judge McElroy said the off-label prescribing conduct at the core of the DOJ's theory is not illegal under the Federal Food and Drug and Cosmetic Act. Not at all. And this subpoena lacks a congressionally authorized purpose and was sought for an improper purpose in bad faith. That's getting perilously close to sanctions for Todd Blanchie and his gang of ugly little petty foggers. but she decided to go beyond the boundaries of the subpoena itself and went into the actual conduct and behavior and arguably the ethicality of the DOJ

and said that DOJ attorneys had concealed information from the court, that's a big no-no, had misled opposing parties, and had tried to steer the case, down to takes ass and Judge Reed O'Connor who is one of the most offensive federal district judges in the country he's never met a woman he doesn't hate

he constantly fetishizing the little fetuses and Judge McElroy said oh and by the way y'all tried to sneak this down to Texas without even letting the hospital know from the opinion she said this omission leads the court to conclude this request was a subterfuge to prevent Rhode Island Hospital from realizing that DOJ had decided to go to Texas for an order compelling production of the very records that they had been discussing for months and if you stop to think about this this it's utterly ridiculous asking a court in Texas to issue a subpoena for records in Rhode Island island where that court has nothing even remotely resembling jurisdiction?

She even went so far in a footnote as to sort of nail Reid O'Connor's ass up on the wall. She said, he's previously referred to the Justice Department as a frequent forum shopper, and it's clear that the DOJ has done so here. And then she leaned into the lawyers themselves about why they wanted enforcement of the subpoena in Texas instead of Rhode Island. During the hearing, she said to these miserable affronts to the idea of the rule of law, you chose Justice O'Connor in Texas. Just be honest enough to admit that. among other things

the DOJ lied and said that Rhode Island Hospital hadn't communicated with the government since February 2026. Judge McElroy, however, said that's clearly misleading, if not utterly false because DOJ

lawyers were in correspondence with the hospital all the way into late April. She said this reckless disregard for the duty of candor owed to a federal court is appalling. and if it's appalling

it might just be sanctionable and beyond that it might be fodder for a well-crafted bar complaint and then she went after the leadership she said that you know the senior attorneys were way out of line when they sent like a

lamb to the slaughter, a lawyer who had only been practicing for six months, six months of legal experience. David, in Oregon, you want to chime in on this one here in a little bit? No, they took a DOJ lawyer who had all of six months experiencing practicing law at all, not just six months at the DOJ at all, and sent this lawyer into the courtroom to opine. on DOJ policy. And they did that because they were afraid themselves to show up and get the pranging that she was going to deliver. And then she delved into Nitwit Niro's jihad against trans people generally.

The administration has publicly characterized gender-affirming care for minors as abuse, directed the DOJ to bring its practice to an end, and celebrated when hospitals curtailed such programs as a result of this subpoena campaign. And she noted that seven other federal courts, under similar circumstances, have reached the same conclusion. And then she started talking about the actual rights of transgender patients, and in particular adolescence. And ultimately, she said, DOJ's request for intimate medical details from one of this country's most vulnerable populations constitutes a drastic overreach of its investigative authority.

And then in the open hearing, she noted that these shit-eating pettifoggers had confessed that once they got the information, they were going to track down the children and their parents or caregivers and Hector and hound them. Ultimately, she said, the long-standing judicial presumption that DOJ could be trusted with little doubt about its intentions and stated purposes no longer holds it is regrettable that this is now the case i read that earlier today and honestly i'm still kind of dumbstruck by it

again this is one of his own appointees thoroughly vetted no doubt by the federalist society but it is a but it's a giant neon flashing light that even for someone like that this behavior is so odious and so illegal and so vile, vulgar, hateful and ugly

that she had no choice but to drop a rock on them. It is honestly astonishing and hopefully it remains the wind that it is holy cow thank you reggie reggie just jumped in

firm democrat love the show reggie thank you so much so that gets us down $142 into the challenge thank you Reggie and thank you Gary

$167 and thank you, Terry, $267. So we're $333 away from Auntie Kat's Good Boy tear up Donald Trump Chew Toy Challenge And then we can get going on fences So thank you, thank you, this is ever so helpful And once we finally reach that,

number, I'll actually do the ciphering and figure out how much we've knocked down. But there are so few wins out there that this story, regardless of who it's about, what group it's about, shines a light on just how far gone this gang of fascists passing themselves off for a Department of Justice are, is. Yes, it was, Ralphs. Thank you. So, Ralph's, and now cats, Auntie Katz, and then Vince's, so, yes, thank you. Now, what's that, Jeremy? I stopped talking like an old coot about the weather. You know what?

I brought that one on myself. So there we are. And, like I said, that's just a beginning this evening. God, there's a lot more out there going on, but. But, well, here, let's go to something less serious, but far more stupid, but also sort of tracking along the same line of inquiry. Leon Scum may have run off to Jaina with his orange daddy, but he still has time to bark and grunt and bray about, you know who.

But also Matt Walsh, Matt Dysphoria Beard Walsh, jumping in, too. The subject, of course, being, oh, God, here we go again. I'll put it, I'll put it simply. Christopher Nolan's take on The Odyssey opens on, I think, July the 17th. and it's been a while since I was really kind of stoked about a movie, but I'm kind of stoked about this. He's pulled together a hell of a cast. Let me...

Here, unpaid product placement. Let's just check in with this. I mean, the trailer is quite compelling. It pops right up. This is the official new trailer that launched nine days ago. I think it launched on the cold... on Stephen Colbert's show. A wife?

And then what? Help me go home. Ron Christopher Nolan. Waiting for master. I want you to choose me. He's coming back. No, he's not. He came back here and found all these suitors in his house.

You're pining me for a daddy. You didn't even know. Like some sniveling bastard. Looking after your wife and son. Do you see? My dad is coming home. And he even. I need everyone in his party dead.

I can still save them. You're a man who needs to control his fate, but you cannot control this. The world is gone. I love that. I think it's asleep. No, it's not asleep. But, and this is just radio. The visual is incredibly compelling. And of course, the maggots, the lead king maggots, well, Leon Scum, of course. and Matt Dysphoria Beard Walsh, who is the broadcast partner of Little Benny Drywife Shapiro,

have had a connoption, multiple connoptions, really, because while the cast features people like Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Matt Damon, on Charlize Theron, well, Christopher Nolan has asked. actors with whom he works. And he has worked in the past with Elliot Page. And Elliot Page is in this cast. Elliot Page being, of course, someone who very publicly transitioned from female to male. And is a fine actor.

But it doesn't matter how good an actor is. But don't worry, it's not just about the trans angle. Oh, no, no, no. the world's going to shit we're losing a war with Iran that we started I mean shades of shades of the ancient world indeed Peloponnesian war anybody

Athenian Empire we're getting our asses handed to us by China there's more Ukraine news in the stack this afternoon but Leon Scum and Matt Dysphoria Beard Walsh are upset about a movie about a mythical war. Mm-hmm.

It apparently started when an anchor over at NewsMuck by the name of Rob Finnerty did a segment over there on that unwatchable platform, and they focused first on Elliot Page because the rumors are swirling, that Elliot Page will play Achilles. And this, of course, is being described as woke! Oh, God, it's woke! So, Finnerty, being the shit-weasel that he is, started out by misgendering and dead-naming,

Elliot Page, opining, wait for it. The most famous warrior in all of history, not just Greek history, Achilles, is about to be played, by a transgender woman in a brand new movie. Dumbass. Elliot Page is not a trans woman. I am a trans woman. Elliot Page is a trans man.

God damn they're dumb. But he continued to misgender Elliot Page calling him she and her. And never mind the talent of this actor. It doesn't matter. Finnerty. goes on to say, and I'll take this all apart piece by piece,

that Achilles was described throughout history as a superhuman warrior and deadly on the battlefield. First of all, Achilles isn't really even in the Odyssey except sort of in the Help Me, Obi-Wan, you know, the ghost Obi-Wan that you get. in things like the Empire Strikes Back, right? Achilles appears to Odysseus in, I don't know, in dreams, or as a ghost. You know, if you think about the way that George Lucas lifted elements from all over the world of myth to create the Star Wars universe, that may be where he got the idea of Ghost Obi-Wan. but I'm getting ahead of myself.

Achilles, in the origin story, was dipped by the heel in what? The river sticks? I'm a little sketchy here. To grant him immortality in battle, but the part that stayed dry, that heel, was still quite capable of being wounded and, in fact, could bring about his death. and indeed in the Iliad does so. Mama should have turned him over as a baby. It wouldn't have been hard. And just grabbed him by his little hair and then dipped him the other way so that everything was covered.

But, well, that's how mythology works. There has to be fuck-ups. And so there was this Chud Fennardy losing his shit. We've gone from Brad Pitt. to a girl who dresses as a guy who's 5-1, 118 pounds. That's the person who's going to be playing the greatest warrior in history, because to the left, that's normal. And we're back to yesterday's program and the left.

How about if it was just a casting decision, dumbass? Or, and let's make this even we're going to have to do a little bit of a dive. I think I mentioned in the past that because of this film, I'm sort of re-educating myself with that story, and having in the last year read 1177 BC the year that civilization collapsed, about the collapse of the Bronze Age, the late Bronze Age, and how familiar it looks to the modern era, if one bothers to take a little peep.

Well, there are, for instance, there's a reference in the trailer that I just played. There's a visual reference to the Trojan horse. The Trojan horse is not in the Iliad because there are multiple epics which we really don't have in full that were considered to be part of the overall, we'd call it a cinematic universe today.

Think of the Trojan War as a sort of Marvel universe. for the ancient world. So the Trojan horse comes from another part. It's not in the Iliad. And there are also epics that deal with, you know, by the time we get into the Iliad, sorry, this is so nerdy, I apologize, but there's a point. The Iliad begins in the 10th year of the Trojan War. And things are not going well for the Greeks who are actually Misenaean.

note the word Greek does not appear in the Iliad. Achaeans, Danes, Argyles, Endives, I don't know. And Paris, who runs away with Helen, is also known as Alexandra. It's Alexander spelled out in Greek with an Omega at the end instead of an OS at the end. It's archaic Greek. But how Achilles came to be Achilles, it was covered in another epic, and don't anybody tell Leon Scum and that dysphoria beard Walsh and this Rob Finnerdy goober. But a big part of young Achilles' story arc has to do with.

Achilles, well, living and dressing as a girl for a while. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Apparently liked it. And in fact, it may have been he and Patrickliss both, his cousin. You're my cousin, you're my cousin, you're my cousin. Oh, God. Like I said, it's thorn in the side Thursday. It doesn't get much more stupidly thorny than this.

Jeremy what? I may lose my shit if you tell us that Caesar dressing doesn't show up in Oldy Greek. Well, get busy looking because you're going to have to find it because you're going to have to lose it. And here's the fun thing. Nobody actually knows who Elliot Page is playing. He only shows up for like two seconds in the trailer and his face is all covered in filth. Dennis, there's some lovely filth down here. But they weren't done.

No, no, no. Because Rob Finnerty is also mad about the casting of Helen. Was this the face that launched a thousand ships and topped the towers of Iliam? That is not Homer, by the way? Oh, no, no, no. that's Elizabethan. Christopher Marlowe, to be precise. So Helen, quite the beauty.

There's a backstory there. Helen was the actual royalty. Helen was a Mycenaean princess. We're treating her as if she was real. Kind of like, you know, Moses and Jesus. But because these were holy books to the ancient Greeks. They were guides to life. And, well, Helen was a Mycenaean princess, and Menelaus married Helen, and that's how he accessed the kingship.

He was an upstart. He was a jump-up. He was the baby brother of Agamemnon. But he did not have his own crown until he married Helen. and so when Helen took off with Paris that put his hold on the crown in jeopardy which meant that he had to go to it

because they also took a lot of a lot of valuable shit with them too because this is all remember this is all before the development of coinage there was no money it was all more or less trade goods

So again, this finity creep got the transphobia out of the way and then he moved on because these are right-wingers to racism because Lupita Njango has been cast as Helen. The woman whose face launched a thousand ships

whose beauty was unparalleled a woman who was definitely white is going to be played by Lupita Njango? I got nothing against Lupita. Yes, you do. You're a fucking racist, you piece of shit. But I do have a problem with the complete rewriting of history. Helen of Troy was not black.

The rewriting of history. It ain't history. Who's going to tell him that Macbeth ain't history either? Or that Oedipus Rex isn't history. Hmm? or for that matter that the Cecil B. DeMille version of Ten Commandments isn't history. Helen of Troy was not black. This is reminiscent of previous connoisseons that these right-wing assholes have thrown over.

Oh, who, Idris Ildba? Yeah. James Bond cannot be black. But Helen of Troy was not a real person, neither was Achilles, neither was Agamemnon, neither was Menelaus, neither was Nestor, neither was Hector, Andromache, Astyanax, neither was Talfibius, because your humble Ostice once upon a time when she trod the boards, played in the Trojan women by Euripides, which is just a heartbreaking,

horrifying telling of what became of the women, of Troy after Troy's fall. And Talfibius, at least according to Euripides, Euripides, was the herald of the Greeks. I played Talfibius. I know, this is a fun little diversion, but we had to have a little Astyanax. A styanax was the crown prince of Troy,

the son of Andromache, Hector and in spoiler alert in the Trojan women Euripides confirms that in the aftermath of the fall of Troy Talthybius came and

took little Estionax and went and threw him off the walls of battlements of Troy thereby forever ending the Trojan line. No Trojan jokes.

Juvenile delinquents behave. And when we auditioned little boys for this, they put me in my costume. It was a hell of a costume. Big old shaggy wig, glued on beard. Anyway, that was pretty scary. I'd give anything for a photo

from back then. But when we auditioned little boys, to play a styanax the one who got cast was the one who the minute he walked on stage next to me took one look at me and began bawling and the director said there's our styanax

this kid knows that that that that that that that that that that that that hmm that that that that that that that hmm and it was a tearjerker every night we even did a command performance of that play before the governor of the state of west virginia down cultural center in Charleston in October of 1983. But anyway, these are all fictitious characters.

But try explaining that to some outraged right-wing chud that, and the Greek gods weren't real either. And Lupita Nyango doesn't just play Helen. She plays her sister, Quitamnestra. And this, in turn, brought Matt Dysphoria Beard Walsh, shrieking out from behind the baseboards. Shrieking... Oh, God.

They're so stupid. So monumentally stupid. Not one person on the planet actually thinks that Lepidiniango is the most beautiful woman in the world, but Christopher Nolan knows that he would be called a racist if he gave the most beautiful woman role. to a white woman. Nolan is technically talented, but a coward, too afraid to do anything even slightly challenges

the spirit of the age. The spirit of the age? Just to be clear, we're talking about probably somewhere around the 13th century BCE. So that would put us 33, 3,400 years

ago. nobody really knows what the spirit of the age was good lord he's it it's just so comically perfect that these chuds are losing their minds over absolute fiction right also uh she can't she can't be helen sizzly in new york and and also santa claus is white absolutely damn lutely but that wasn't all oh no no not all at all because they had more stupidity yet in them. And then Leon Scum got involved, of course, because it's almost impossible for him not to. And he's no smarter than Matt Dysphoria Beard Walsh. And just to put a bow on all this moranity, Leon Scum responding to Matt Dysphoria Beard Walsh said,

It's true! and then went all transphobic on Elliot Page. And then there's, well, yeah, Homer may not even have been real either. There are ruins and there was a Troy or something where the ancients believed Troy was, and it was destroyed by fire. Heinrich Schliemann fucked a lot of that up going forward because of his, greed and general dishonesty. But, oh my God, it never ceases to amaze me.

From Jimmy in the Great Northwest, black or white, Othello. How many white men played Othello? Almost all of them? Every Othello was white when he's clearly not. And then there's Heathcliff, Wuthering Heights, who is described in the novel, as well

she describes him as everything but outright black and some of the palest human beings in all of the actors' craft have played Heathcliff oh well as to the Trojan horse Lee in New York says

nitwit Nacho Niro will insist that the Trojan horse would have been a more convincing gift if it was gold Lee signed Lee in New York City not Troy New York and just a little trivia point for those interested. If you read the novels of Kurt Vonnegut, he sets a lot of it in upstate New York, Troy, New York,

but he changes the name of Troy, New York, to Iliam, because Ilium was the other name for Troy. And in their own language, we think that they referred to themselves as Willus. And there used to be a digrama that makes the W sound in front of Ilios. And in archaic Greek, it was Wulusa. And that becomes ilusa, and then it just becomes Ilios, and then Ilium, once it gets romanized. I know. I'm a nerd.

I'll do better. Homer may not have been real. I should have expected this one. I've watched The Simpsons. Stop it, Roxanne. Next you'll tell me that Maggie should. should have grown up by now. More fake news.

Oh, wait till I tell you about mash in the length of the Korean War? That's going to be a real problem. From Dave in the Blind, Elliot playing Achilles. That rocks. Literally, Page is a great actor he can play. Whatever the Hell. He won Whenever the Hell. He won Roaster, how the YouTube world was surprisingly mobile.

I think that was the ancient world. having African descent would not surprise me at all. Ask Mr. Page, can we have him slip a spear into this chud's ribs? I'm asking for an allegorical friend, your buddy Dave in the Blind. This is why I love you so much, Sylvie. Schleeman? Heinrich Schleeman was a glorified pot hunter, but he did, in fact, discover the ruins of Troy. Yeah, and also Mycini.

But God, to read his backstory, con man from start to finish almost to the point that you wait and when I was reading about this I was saying you know could we do like a family history and see if he's related to the drumps because his entire

life was a lie was a lie was fraud and he technically discovered what we now recognize as Troy but he did tremendous damage because he dug

right past Troy destroyed God knows how much actual evidence until he got down to where he thought that the artifacts themselves looked like they would be

Trojan and yeah he was a pot hunter Troy's Priam's treasure and the death mask of Agamemnon that kind of shit be decking his young, really young wife in those artifacts. It was brilliantly satirized, I think in the 1970s, in a book called Motel of the Mysteries.

If you've never seen it and you love archaeology, it's worth finding. It's hilarious. Troy, as we understand it, is Troy 6. or seven and Schleeman went way down to like Troy one, two, three, because there were multiple civilizations piled one on top of another. It's not at all surprising to see because it was common in the ancient world. Okay, scouts honor, says Jeremy, I won't make any jokes about you slipping into a play about the Trojans.

Also, I wasn't a scout. No, you're not a scout. You're a scamp. that's what you are, Jeremy, a scamp. And somehow or another, we find ourselves in the second hour of the program. We have $33 to go. We've matched Routes' Challenge. We've got $33 to go to match Auntie Katz Challenge.

And then we'll start on Vince's, and we've got a chance to dig our way, part of the way, out of this hole. So thank you to everybody who's jumped in. And thank you if you'd choose to jump in, and you haven't yet. it's a great opportunity to double a whole bunch of money uh from jimmy going back to othello the only black man to play othello is lawrence fishburn that i know of i think in the modern era that's that's for certain and the rest of them were white guys in blackface and yago what an ass and to uh get back into the actual news of the day well apparently it's a little bit the uh the uh the uh

the maggot delegation is a little bit tense. The Daily Beast had a story about a hot mic moment there in the great hall of the people as both sides sat down for talks. Let's see if the audio comes through. No, no, get the fuck out of it. No, move.

They're so disordered. Please put on the earpiece for the simultaneous interpretation. Thank you. They're so disordered. No, no, no, no, get the fuck out of here. I want to know whose voice it was, because we're getting our asses handed to us. For those of us of a certain age,

we're familiar with the old saw. Only Nixon could go to China. and I remember the visuals, the film footage of Nixon meeting with Maltzedong and Joe Inlai, and you didn't have anything like this. No, no, get the fuck out of here. No, move, got to move. Oh, okay, going back to Othello, you never know where this program's going to go. Clarence says the great Paul Robson played Othello.

Oh, I didn't know that. I don't know if Jimmy knew that. Thank you, Clarence. Thank you. What these clowns did in Beijing was nothing short of shameful. Because among other things, Xi Jinping showed up and the Chinese were prepared. We were lost balls in high grass. Xi Jinping, as I think Dean Blundell pointed out, has studied nitwit Niro and has read him like a cheap paperback novel and came in and read the riot act to Nittwit Niro and made him like it.

God, it was embarrassing and shameful. I'm looking for it here. But among other things, Orange Julius Gieser went to China and was not asked, was not negotiated with, was told straight up and China told us that we and China will have clashes and even conflicts if we don't roll over and play dead on Taiwan. because of course Xi Jinping has watched as Nitwit Niro completely sold Ukraine down the river

she told Nitwit Niro the Taiwan question is the most important issue in ties between Beijing and Washington and this came directly from the readout issued by the Chinese foreign ministry according to the statement

she said directly to Orange Jesus Taiwan independence and cross-straight peace are as irreconcilable as fire and water. In other words, we're going to have to roll over and let China roll over Taiwan doing as they wish, or else we cannot have peace with China. And of course, Nitwit Niro went there reeling from his ginormous fuck-up in Iran. in which we have depleted our missile capacity, our interceptor capacity, our patriot capacity, by more than half in some instances, while Iran still has half of their capacity.

She went on, according to the readout, and said, if it is handled properly, the bilateral relationship will enjoy overall stability. Otherwise, the two countries will have clashes and even conflicts putting the entire relationship. in great jeopardy. Meanwhile, Marco Rubio trying desperately to be butch for daddy, said,

our policy toward Taiwan is unchanged, but it would be a terrible mistake for China to take Taiwan by force. U.S. policy on the issue of Taiwan is unchanged as of today. Sure it is. And it would not surprise me at all,

given the massive incompetence of not just nitwit, Nero, but his lick spittles, whether it's Marco Rubio or the DUI hire Whiskey Pete Kegbreath or Hung Cow, his assistant is now acting secretary of the Navy. It wouldn't surprise me at all if China moves because they know that we are at this point in time and until we write this ship we're a paper tiger. We are as the great golf, the great golf. for Chichi Rodriguez once was prone to remark,

we are big boots, big hat, no goddamn cattle, the embarrassment, the shame. And of course, in the background, there's all this business about Chinese investment of a trillion dollars in the United States. And, of course, the maggot administration was helpless and clueless. Can't forget the clueless part.

No. I'm looking here for just a second. Yeah, here's the... Talk on it. I had it, but... Needless to say, Dean Blundell pointed out blow by blow exactly how pathetic this was. The story just crossed my feed from the Guardian headline. Trump delights in his deference to Xi, his strongman fantasy, made flesh. The Chinese leader appears to be in the driving seat.

as the unusually polite U.S. President ignores questions in Taiwan, noting he was far better behaved in one of the world's most repressive regimes than when he shows up in Europe's democracies like a human wrecking ball. Yeah. He didn't talk to reporters on the flight across to Beijing. Of course, he may have been passed out. He hasn't posted or triped about it. And he almost seemed nervous,

like a boy picking up his date at the prom, fiddling with his jacket and whatnot, when he landed. And the language, Oh, when I get there, she's going to give me a big fat hug. But instead, she wasn't even there to greet him when he landed. And he ooed and awed over children who had been taught to repeat phrases by rote,

saying, and, well, you take this in the context of the Epstein files, and it takes on a different meaning, doesn't it? I was particularly impressed by those children. They were happy. They were beautiful. We're squoed. In a big, big way.

And then there's the people who were covering the Beijing trip. For instance, Tony Docapill at C. BS News. And his cameraman, what a way to get out of such a shameful experience. He was trying to introduce the summit. This is, oh my God. And finally tonight from Taiwan, as President Trump and China King prepared to meet, you will hear a lot about American decline and the rise of a powerful new China.

The Chinese certainly, is he okay? Hello guys, welcome back. So CBS evening news goes for so fair during a live broadcast from Taiwan. After a shocking medical emergency happened behind the scenes. We're going to take a quick break. We have a medical emergency here. Meanwhile they're showing a doctor. Meanwhile they're showing B-roll footage of just scenes from China. so i'm going to sign off for tony de copo who's been reporting in taiwan we're going to go to break we'll be right back and car tony dopo will quickly

jesus christ what a gang of monumental fuck-ups see bs news oh and uh this is uh separate and entire but it's it's a back reference to something that uh well at least you know we would it We're still playing where in the world is Tom Kane, but 83-year-old Frederica Wilson, a Democrat Florida, hasn't been voting for several weeks either. And, of course, unlike Kane, the maggots have been, oh, she's dead, she's dying.

Turns out she had eye surgery. and she's definitely running for re-election. She's not retiring. Still no sightings of Tom Cain. And even ordained Southern Baptist minister, pastor brother, Mullah Moses Mike Johnson has no idea where Kane is or says he doesn't.

Ralph says, What the fuck happened to Tony DeCopal? Well, his cameraman, and passed out or you know stopped being conscious and so

they they punted that's of course yeah Katie Terrible's hubby right yeah somewhere Walter Cronkite rolls in his

grave couldn't even handle a basic stand-up from Sylvie medical emergency oh nothing trivial i hope oh it's the cameraman so kind of feel sorry for him he's just trying to keep a job you know working for larry ellison and his nepo baby son and back to archaeology for a minute sylvie notes early archaeology

in the early 1800s archaeologists did not use brushes and tweezers to unearth relics they shleiman included used dynamite blowing up higher levels and oblitering whole blocks of overlay Zahi Hawass to say nothing of Howard Carter and others would be furious at such tactics today obligatory Downton Abbey reference the estate used as the Downton Abbey is in fact the estate of the Earl of Carnarvan

descendant of the man who funded Carter's expedition to find Tutankham's tomb. It's rumored that some of the artifacts from the tomb were and possibly still are housed in the castle. Pot hunters! And I guess it's well Well, we'll leave that one be. And what's this?

Oh, this is disgusting. Well, we've had another trash Patel sighting. I trust that we all understand that out in Pearl Harbor, the sunken USS Arizona, is still a commissioned warship. She was never decommissioned because she was still in action when she sank. And it's also a grave site, hallowed ground, no less than, say, Gettysburg. There are more than 900 sailors' remains that sank with the ship, Marines as well. These monsters will desecrate anything and everything.

Trash Patel was given, and I'm sure this involved, the cooperation and collaboration and collaboration, of, of course, the DUI hire, keg breath. The Navy gave Trash Patel, I mean, talk about pot hunters. This is such a sickening desecration. The Navy gave Trash Patel

what they called a VIP snorkel. He took an underwater snorkeling tour of the grave that is the USS Arizona. When asked, the spokescriep for the FBI, wouldn't say shit. He was attending national security engagements. The Navy, on the other hand, said,

Yeah, it happened, but we can't figure out who initiated it. National Park Service said, we weren't involved. One guy, Hack Albertson, a marine vet. He dies the Arizona annually as part of a a very special group from paralyzed veterans of America said it's like having a bachelor party at a church, it's hallowed ground, it needs to be treated with the solemnity it deserves.

And generally speaking, the only people who go underwater there are marine archaeologists, the National Park Service crews, who keep an eye on the condition of the sunken vessel. And every now and then, a diver will go down and take the remains. I mean, it used to happen.

It doesn't happen much anymore because there's so few left, if any. But a diver will sometimes take the remains of an Arizona crewman's, crewman and respectfully place those remains aboard the Arizona so that that sailor may rest with his shipmates. And, of course, the FBI never said a goddamn word about it. And it was part of Jesus, this itinerary. He claimed to be having meetings with Honolulu, the Honolulu Field Office, and having meetings with the local constabulary.

And then after his initial stop, he came back to Hawaii and went snorkeling around in the graves of those noble sailors and Marines. and then he jetted away to Las Vegas. Partay. It never ends. The reprehensible behavior. The disgusting conduct. I guess they'll claim, I don't know, what are we going to say? Well, I took a bottle of my cash bourbon and left it down there as a salute to the sailors.

like a libation to the gods. See and Valhalla brothers. Oh, and Ralph's asked earlier, were Donnie's kids on the trip to China? Yes, they were part of the Gryft. Of course, it's worth remembering that I-Wanka, I-Wank a-Maddy-Trump Kushner. Well, she still holds a number of licenses

and the like from China for among other things, manufacturing caskets. Jesus. Oh, and thank you, Billable. Billable Rick says Chi Chi Rodriguez. Give yourself a Ronald Lama Dingong for that comment. I've heard Chi Chi's name referenced for years. Thank you, Billable.

And, well, the number of people who know about Chi Chi Rodriguez through WKRP, Les Nesman, golfer Chai-Tai Rodriguez. Yeah. And I said we'd have some Ukraine news. It ain't good. Oh, no, it's not.

Last night in Kiev, they withstood one of the worst nights of missile and drone attacks in the history of that filthy war started by that barbarian in Moscow. The Russians killed at least 12 innocent people. in an apartment house in Kyiv or an apartment block. At least two of them were children. Bodies pulled from the rubble with rescuers searching for 20 people still feared missing. The Ukraine Emergency Services Organization said 45 people, including two children, were injured, and tomorrow will be a day of mourning in the city.

and knowing that nitwit Niro is in Pudi's pocket, the last three days have been sheer hell in Q. Last night's barrage was 670 drones and 56 missiles. They hit more than 180 sites across Ukraine. 50 of those were residential buildings because civilians don't matter to a piece of shit like Vladimir Putin. Now, I mean, who was it the other day in Congress talking about Ukraine being on the bleeding, cutting edge of technology for drone and missile warfare? Well, Mother Russia sent more than 1,560 drones since Tuesday evening.

And Lodomier Zelensky said they took out 73 percent. of the missiles, an overall interception rate of 93% on the drones, but the ones that get through still do devastating damage. Zelensky also pointed out that they have to have more anti-ballistic systems and missiles for them. There's a massive shortage of Patriot missile systems that basically can stop Russian ballistics in their tracks. But nitwit Niro wants to ramp up the misery because he wants Pudi to achieve his goals. The EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said overnight. Another night of death and destruction.

While Russia openly mocks diplomatic efforts, we continue to strengthen Ukraine. We are finalizing a 6 billion euro drone support package, and we keep the pressure on Russia's war economy, with ever tougher sanctions. Yeah, but if you recall the clips from a couple of days ago with Whiskey Pete, well, $4 billion a month in unsanctioned oil, plying the seas from Mother Russia. Yeah, that's a lot as whoever it was that was questioning,

Kegbreath said, that'll buy a lot of drone. But Whiskey Pete doesn't give a shit about Ukraine Or about little children being pulled from rubble No more than he gives a shit about little children in Gaza Being pulled, murdered from the rubble The mayor of Kiv, Vitaliklitsko Said a 12-year-old little girl's body

Had been recovered From what remained of a nearby house And Ukraine stands defiant and brave while a coward befowls the executive mansion in the United States. One Ukrainian woman, Irina Mofchan,

speaking to media as she watched the clearance of the debris, said the entire building was shaking. It was very scary. It was so quiet lately that I thought perhaps it was time to move back completely. And yesterday and today

we had such an Armageddon in addition to the apartment buildings. The fiends in Russia also hit a veterinary clinic, a school, more residential buildings, and apparently

attacked the city's public water supply, which, incidentally, is a fucking war crime. The prime minister of Ukraine, Yulia Svirdenko, said, we've got to have help in strengthening our air defense. This is the only to save our people in our cities

and noting that nitwit Niro was busy getting on his knees in front of Xi Jinping. The Ukrainian foreign minister Andre Siba said, I'm certain that the leaders of the United States and China have enough leverage over Moscow to tell Putin to finally end the war.

The foreign minister is an optimist. Pouti owns Donald Trump. Lock, stock, and stinking cancels. And after their World War II victory celebration on May the 9th, which they had scaled back and Pouti was kind of afraid to attend, well, Pudy said,

"'The war may be drawing to close.' And then the ceasefire ended, and this. Oh, the shame. The endless shame. There's only one way out. What's that old saying? The only way out is through? Yeah.

We have to find a way to save this nation once nitwit Nero is done. On the other hand, not to put too much, well, not to give this any credit at all, but Colin Jost from Weekend Update at Saturday Night Live sat down for an interview with some streamer whose schick is doing interviews in Subways. you know, subway cars running around through New York. And Colin Joe said that he fully expects Donald Trump to have a third term as president. The interviewer, I forget his name, said, Oh, stop it, man, this isn't funny.

You're scaring me now. And Joe said, no, I'm not kidding. I don't expect him to leave. What would happen if he did that? insisted on running for a third term. I mean, I'm not talking about what would the Supreme Court do. They'd bend down and stick their six most puissant dread sovereign, supreme Catholic, majestic noses right between his cheeks. And Go Deep, Nitwit Niro may not be a fan of salads, but they'd, by God, toss his.

But I'm talking about the nation writ large. as more and more people begin to turn on this trashy well because even maggot candidates are beginning to turn against their orange daddy these are well let's see there's been there was another vote

today to call nitwit Nero to account under the the War Powers Act. The resolution failed on a 220 to 222-212 tie vote. Three maggots joined with the Democrats. A tie

is a loss for a congressional resolution. We came within one vote of passing a war powers resolution in the House with Representative Tom Barrett, a maggot from Michigan,

and Brian Fitzpatrick, a maggot from Pennsylvania, openly siding with the Democrats. Thomas Massey from Kentucky also voted yes. And that took the count to 212 to 211. You know, Dante said that the betrayers went to the lowest level of hell. The House has its own version of Kirsten Mansion, John Fetterman. His name is Jared Golden. He's allegedly a Democrat from Maine.

He voted no on the resolution. fucking traitor. Previously, that is to say yesterday, a vote of 49 to 50 took place in the Senate with Lisa Murkowski and Rand Paul and Susan Collins

voting to hold nitwit Niro to account. But of course, there was, God damn it, I mean, this is infuriating. There was Kirsten Mansion cash in his check and voting no. Otherwise, it would have been a 50-50 tie, it still would have been a loss.

But John Petterman, Jared Golden, does the name Judas mean anything to you? Basically, those two licks-spittles voted to continue to destroy the national security of the United States because this war is an abject failure. And over at Politico,

Meredith Lee Hill wrote Barrett, an Army veteran is in an incredibly competitive race in his Lansing area seat against a retired Navy SEAL who's been hammering him over the war. The campaign probably speaks to why Susan Collins, who is facing a challenge from Graham Platner, voted to hold her orange daddy to account. but of course these people can count votes and they know when they're safe and it was a safe vote if kirsten mansion and perhaps another republican had joined it would have been 51 to 50 and the measure would it have passed or does it need 60 i the senate procedure can be Byzantine and I'm not at all certain hopefully there's a reckoning and an accountability and imposition of

accountability come November, but one does not know. And I mentioned Rand Paul joining the Democratic senators in that vote. Well, I didn't know that Rand Paul, libertarian ophthalmologist, had a son who was old enough to drink, but he does. And damned if, I mean, it's weird when I read stories that mentioned places that I'm familiar with in D.C. we used to, when we were working on the Ake Act, we would sit down and sit out in front of the Tune In on Capitol Hill and talk with some of our closer supporters of the bill, a couple of members of Congress. Well, the Tune In was the scene where Rand Paul's son erupted in. to a drunken tirade

when his son decided to get up in the face of Mike Lawler of New York you know, after what happened to his daddy, you'd think Ron Paul's son might be a little more careful. Speaking to the New York Post, Lawler said, So Rand Paul's fucking son is sitting next to us at the bar and it just like chimes in on our conversation,

fucking drunk and belligerent. because he had assumed that Mike Lawler was Jewish and said, if Thomas Massey loses his primary, it was because of the Jews. Lawler said, I'm Irish, Italian Catholic, to which Ron Paul's son replied, This war, it's all about the gays and the Jews,

and I hate them both, and I don't care if they die. And then he knocked over a bar stool as he went staggering out of the bar. It might come as no surprise to note that William H. Paul's handle over on that platform that used to be known as Twitter is at Tasty Brew 1776. And he got community noted after he said, and last night I had too much to drink and said some things that don't represent who I really am. Oh, no, I'm sorry, honey, they did. I'm sorry, and today I'm seeking help for my drinking problem.

Yeah. The community note said, context needed. The specific things William Paul said while drunk concluded saying that if Representative Thomas Massey loses his primary, it would be caused by Jews, and saying that he hates Jews, Gates gaze and doesn't care if they die. You know, we've got this concept out there called the Streisand effect,

when someone ill-advisedly draws more attention to something they didn't want any attention for in the first place. I think we should call what happened here with William H. Paul at Tasty Brew 1776. Let's call that the Gibson effect. No, no, no, no, not the classic cocktail that's basic. a martini that replaces the olive with a pickled onion. No. Is that a Gibson? Who knows?

I'm not well-versed. But no, the Gibson effect for Mel, who when he got busted DUI and then turned around and began raging, that was because

of the Jews. That was all because of the Jews. No, the drink didn't make you say things that don't represent who you really are. The drink loosened up your lips so that you could say exactly who the fuck you are, William H. Paul, at Tasty Brews 1776. I wonder what his bio says. I know a little about a lot.

Digital dude. Capital Hill, Kentucky Wildcats. at Freedom Works Opinions Owned Well, it looks like it's time for you to Own some opinions, William H. Paul. Are you going to change your handle Once you get out of your obligatory stand

At the Grippy Sock Hotel? One wonders. Well, this comes as no surprise to people who know At Tasty Brew 1776. He pled out to a DUI in 2015, having crashed his big old pick-em-up truck into a parked car. And then in 2013, he was arrested on allegations that he assaulted a flight attendant and was drinking underage on a flight to CLT.

That's the airport code for Charlotte, North Carolina. Rand Paul's office meanwhile It was as quiet as a graven image The tune-in is an awesome Awesome watering hole I mean it's locals It's politicos I mean it's truly sort of A Democrats hang out there

Republicans hang out there They don't get into fisticuffs Last time I was there they had a fantastic kitchen Their lunch specials are legendary and curiously enough, it was bought by a former firefighter from where? That's right, West Virginia. So the Tune In issued a statement this morning, and it was, there were no gray areas. Morning!

This is from Tune, D.C. I.N.N. Morning. In reference to the incident that occurred a couple of nights ago, the Tune In does not tolerate or condone any of the, of the words, behaviors, or thoughts that were used. Our bar is a safe space for everyone, and we make sure of that. That person had his last drink at the tune-in that night.

He ain't just banned. He's banned forever. And someone responded to this thing. Would one call that being 86th? Asking for a friend? Jesus. Well, like son, like father. The headline from the New York Post, by the way,

because it's, well, I would not insult the guts of a dead mackerel by wrapping it in the New York Post. Senator Rand Paul's son, sorry after drunken tirade against gays and the Jews, we'll seek help for drinking problem. And the question then arises, how shit-faced do you have to be as the son of the junior senator from Kentucky stand to run your mouth like that.

I'd say you've got to be pretty fucking shit-paced. And there's a little more detail in the post article. Lawler said, he's like, wait, you're not Jewish? Lawler said, and even if I was, what's the problem? And then he got into the Middle East, and he was talking about us trying to steal Iran's land for the Jews and steal the West Bank, and I'm like, what are you talking about?

At which point he said, this war it's all about the gays and the jews and i hate them both and i don't care if they die oh somebody that's got uh homophobia that bad when they're drunky drunk hmm he thinks he doth protest too much and i guess this is some good PR for mike lawler because he's he stands a good chance of being bounced out of uh the congress in november god By the way, if you'd like to engage in a little conversation, you're more than welcome to do so.

The stress line is open. 844-843-4676-844, The Horn, checking in on a little on some messages along the way. From Cynthia, the USS, Arizona. When I visited the memorial site back in the 1980s, I couldn't help but feel the weight. that sight and the sailors who died there. My sense of that history was solemn and overwhelming. Perhaps I felt that because my family

has a long history of serving in the Navy, including my father who served at Pearl during World World War II. Or perhaps my feelings were just from being human. Patel, he's just a fucking disgrace beyond words. I think we have that in common. My dad was

a World War II sailor shipped in and out of pearl and he hardly ever mentioned the Arizona without a tear coming to his eye. From Sylvie, none of them care. Not even about little children being pulled from under billionaires. So true. So true.

We started off at a heady clip with regard to the challenges on the table. We've got $33 to go to meet Auntie Kat's Good Golden Boy Challenge. And then from Vince in Arizona a chance to take $1,000 away from the deficit

with his $500 challenge. All told, there have been $825 in challenges on the table. and it's probably a lot to ask, but if we could knock those out this evening, Vince is good until... Vince is good until tomorrow, but if we could knock those both out this evening,

your humble-ostis would breathe a profound sigh of relief. So, if you can, and you're so inclined, you have the thanks of the entire Horn family community congregation. There's some good-ish news. Earlier today, our most puissant dread sovereign Supreme Catholic majesties decided that they would continue to let the women folk have access to Mithipristone via telehealth visits and blocked the injunction coming from the 5th the United States Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans

that gang of rabid fascists. The status quo will continue with women being able to access Mipipristone through telehealth visits, while the case makes its way through the system. Apparently, the heat that the public, as well as I think the three women on the court have brought to the shadow docket shenanics, may have convinced some of the court to, at least for the time being, leave women's bodies alone. CNN noting the focus will now return to the New Orleans-based appeals court, which will decide the merits of Louisiana's challenge. Okay, well, guess what?

The decision was seven to two. You know damned good and well who the two were. That's right. Clarence Pubes on the Coke Can Fathy Thomas, a wholly owned subsidiary of Har Har-Hare Crow and Leelie Leo, as well as his buddy, Sammy Bad Breath Alito, also a wholly owned subsidiary of Har-Har-Leeley Consolidated.

And ooh, were they mad when they wrote their dissent? Sammy Bad Breath wrote it, And, well, FAPPI signed right on. Alito saying, What is at stake is the perpetration of a scheme to undermine our decision in Dobbs v. Jackson? Really? Manufacturers of the drug are obvious... I'm doing the wrong voice.

It's Sammy Badbreath. Manufacturers of the drug are obviously aware of what's going on, yet nevertheless supplied the drug and reap profits from its felonious use in Louisiana. Oh, wait, I was wrong. Fappy chimed in with his own dissent, declaring that drug manufacturers, are not a party to the case, curiously enough, are not entitled to a stay of an adverse court order based on lost profits from their criminal enterprise. More abortions now occur each month in Louisiana

than they did before Dobbs because as a result of out-of-state doctors and organizations mailing abortion pills to Louisiana women's doors. You know, Fappy, if you don't want an abortion, I don't think you should ever have to have one. But maybe your mother should have. You know, by any means necessary. Same for you.

Sammy bad breath. And it's so weird when you realize that we have to hope that those two old fuckers hang on until we can get a Democrat in the White House. Jesus, crimey. Federman Fool.

Clarence writes in and says, this morning I was listened to W-U-R-D Word, the African-American station in Philadelphia, the three-hour show was dedicated to ripping Federman to shreds. The black voters of Pennsylvania feel betrayed. Black voters rallied behind this fool during his campaign.

What a monumental letdown. Well, don't, don't, don't be too hard on the voters because he, like Kirsten Cinema, held himself out to be something that he fucking wasn't. Now, I don't know, you know, Kirsten Cinema obviously didn't

have a stroke, but she did the same thing to the people who knocked on doors and campaigned and phone banked and canvassed to put her in the Senate from Arizona, and then promptly turned into Joe Manchin. Fetterman had the stroke.

I mean, I remember when people were excited about Fetterman because he was unabashedly a proponent of basic human rights and decency. And that stroke apparently did something horrible. Not just to his brain, but to his ethics, his morals. Awful. But the question now, Clarence, is, will Pennsylvania voters find a way to replace

Fetterman with a Democrat and keep a maggot out of that seat? I guess we don't have to worry about Dr. Oz running again. And I mentioned earlier those two maggots who are pushing back on NITW

with regard to his losing war in Iran. Well, it's not just the politicians. Oh, and Chris, Christopher, thank you. Christopher just jumped in on the challenges and said, come on, y'all. And Ralph's did too. So Auntie Kat's challenges met. Ralph's challenges met. And now we started on Vince's $500 challenge, namely the fuck the Watertown School Board Challenge.

And everybody who jumps in on it gets a free fuck the Watertown School Board, courtesy of your own. humble oasis. So thank you again, Vince. And yes, fuck the Watertown Wisconsin School Board. And we now have, let's see, $482 to go on that. Christopher saying, come on, y'all. Thank you, Christopher. Thank you so, so much.

I appreciate everything you do and all the help you provide. Wait. from Jeremy I'd love to see Randy Paul's son's browser history It's always the loudest who are the problem And trying to draw attention away from their behavior Yeah

You know what It's not even necessarily his browser history Just kind of have to open his phone And find the grinder app, you know, Jeremy? Hot Wildcat stud for you Nah No, William Paul is.

I saw a picture of him. Mm-hmm. But back to disaffected maggots. I love the subreddit Leopards eating people's faces. This isn't that. This actually comes from C-SPAN.

I don't know if Todd and Steve still got up in the service, the Horn Ad Hoc C-SPAN correspondence these days, but, well, this morning on Washington Journal, otherwise known as unmedicated maggots, getting on the phone, well, Robert called in to say hi to the host for this morning, Mimi Gyrgyz.

It was a moment. Robert was apparently feeling, well, contrite. Thank you. And Robert, Cleveland, Ohio, Republican, you're on Open Forum. Well, I like to first say I apologize to all of America and all of Americans. I was a diehard Republican. I cannot believe. I drank the Kool-Aid, okay?

I am guilty. I drank the Kool-Aid of Donald J. Trump. In fact, I don't even know why we keep saying Donald J. Trump. This man is ruining the constitutional. of the United States. What's going on in these southern states, Louisiana and Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, they're taking away the vote from the black man, the fight from the black people that are part of our country. They're stealing their vote. They're making it no and mean nothing. And we need to, we need to, I don't know what we need to do, but I'm not going to vote for Donald Trump. I know that this. country if you see all the corruption the billions of dollars that the Trump family is grabbing it's a and he says it's never about the money it's all about the money the lies the lies the lies that come out of this man's mouth everything he says is

not true is exactly what is true and he just it's just I don't know what needs to be done but the Democrats need to grab the helm and lead the people what we need to do they are overwhelming the system of democracy So Robert, when you said you drank the Kool-Aid, what was it about President Trump that appealed to you initially? And what was it that made you break with him? I mean, just seeing the lies. He put us in a war. All Donald Trump wants right now is for clean face.

He wants the straight of Hormuz open. Guess what? Before he went there, it was open. And the gas prices were beautiful. I mean, everything this man touches. He's putting up gold statues of himself. I mean, when are people going to wake up? Now, I drink the Kool-Aid.

How did I drink the Kool-Aid? I can't even answer that. I don't know if there was those stupid rallies I went to, those stupid – Look, I got rid of my Make America Great Again hat, okay? I got rid of that. I can't even believe I wore that hat. So that's where I'm at. I don't know what to say anymore.

All right, Robert. All right. Okay, I got a question. I know some folks from Cleveland, Ohio. I agree with everything he said, Robert. But maybe somebody made a mistake and thought he was from Cleveland, Ohio. Because he sounded a little bit more like Cleveland, Tennessee. Which would be even more profound.

I can't even believe I wore that hat, so that's where I'm at. I don't know what to say anymore. Well, you know, we'll kill the fatted calf for you. Robert, welcome home. Try not to make the same mistake twice when they run somebody who isn't Trump. Do you think he was a plant? Do you think he was a Democrat who actually called in on the Republican line? God knows the Republicans do that all the time. Some of the language is just too perfect. How did I drink the Kool-Aid? I can't even answer that. I don't even know if there was if there was a stupid rally something. went to this. The stupid rallies. I mean, he was, honestly,

Robert was surprisingly cogent for calling into C-SPAN in the morning. But then again, it's usually the, it's usually the maggots who do the, give you the whole, so you say there's a race of men in the trees. You're for tough legislation. Thanks for calling.

I wait all night for calls like these trees. But earlier in the program, I mentioned acting Navy secretary Hung Cow, which is not the same as the fatted calf. No. Hung Cow is Vietnamese. And he had to show up before the House Armed Services Committee for the 2027 fiscal year budget request. And he got sideways of Representative Chrissy Houlihan. and things went weird real quick. Chrissy Hulahan said,

you said what we need is alpha male and alpha females who are going to rip out their guts, eat them, and ask for seconds. Those are young men and women who are going to win wars? Mr. Secretary, did you say that and do you stand by that? Absolutely, ma'am, I did say that, and I stand by it. He wants members of the military to engage in cannibalism. And, of course, he was hand-picked by Whiskey Pete. I don't know if she got into it or not, Representative Hulahan, but equally interesting was his claim that California has been overtaken by witches.

How in the, do you reach the rank of captain in the Navy, which, just to make clear, is the equivalent rank to a full bird colonel just under flag rank, believing in witch? Wiches. Anybody got a take on that? Because I'm a little lost. Witches. Mm-hmm. Witches. I'm a little curious here to see if we can find some audio of that entire exchange.

There's, yes, there's Representative Hulahan, and it looks like an interesting exchange. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Secretary Cow, you made some really interesting statements in 2024 in a debate that you had with Senator Kane. You said, what we need is alpha males and alpha females who are going to rip out their guts, eat them, and ask for seconds. Those are young men and women that are going to win wars. Mr. Secretary, did you say that, and do you stand by that? Absolutely, ma'am. I did say that, and I stand by it.

I commanded a naval diving southeast training center. we had one one standard only. It doesn't matter of your man, woman, black, or white, because the sea is unforgiving, and things like war and hardship is going to kill you the same. Perfect. My job is to make sure they live. I agree with you. Yes, ma'am.

And I'll stop you there. Mr. Secretary, it is really wonderful to hear that you're supportive of everyone serving in the military, brown, white, black women, as you mentioned, especially the alpha ones, and I agree with that as well. I was wondering if you might share that support of those kinds of people, women, included with Secretary Heggseth because it seems as though he has a very different perspective on that. Congressman, Secretary Hegsteth and I are in line that as long as you meet the standards, then you're ready to serve.

Perfect. And then my next question, Mr. Secretary, is since you are supportive, and apparently Mr. Hegset is as well of women in service or at least of gender neutral standards, I'm hopeful that you might take a look and be supportive of a bill that supports removing gender standards from service so that everyone is able to fit one standard. It's a bill called the Warrior Act. It's a bill that I've introduced and it would codify or put into law these standards of gender neutral requirements to make sure that everyone, women included, would qualify who's qualified to serve would be able to. Would you be supportive of that, sir?

Congressman, if they meet the standards in accordance with the rules and regulations, then again, I'm not a member of this. Oh, come on, ask him about the witches. I can't support or not support? I would love it if you would take a look at that because it is not without precedence that people such as you are supportive of ideas that come out of the Congress and this Warrior Act is something that given your stance on these issues I would imagine that you would be supportive of and it sounds as though given your relationship with Mr. Hegeseth and your understanding of his belief that he should also be supportive of it as

well. Sometimes unfortunately we actually have to put things in law that are common sense and I would love it if you take a look at the Warrior Act. Similarly, I one of the things that's frustrating to me, and it's come up in this conversation quite a few times, is that it's totally true that we need to be the most lethal force in the world in order to be successful. But we have, for whatever reason, begun to undermine the fact that bronze is not enough,

that we also need to have brains to be able to be successful in the military, and that technology and STEM education and all of those kinds of things are just as important as having somebody who, strong enough to carry a person. And one of the things that I'm really frustrated by in these conversations is we have maligned education, we have maligned research, we have maligned all of the things that make it possible for us to not only have lethality in our bronze, but also lethality in our brains. Admiral, I'd love it if you talk a little bit more about the fact that you have hit now

three times during this hearing on the importance of STEM education. Well, Congresswoman, I mean, I hold four degrees myself, including a doctorate, so I am a lifelong learner and firmly believe in everything you're saying that everyone should be a lifelong learner. So STEM education is extremely important in this. And I'm always in close collaboration with our Naval Academy and the ROTC units and, of course, the other programs, OCS, and making sure that the pie chart of STEM coming into the Navy is proper. I have to tension that a bit. You know, as far as, you know, sex-based differences, you know, one of the things that really has opened that up is women and submarines and some of the other initiatives who have a preponderance of the STEM degrees. So, you know, that's an area where I think there's been a real strength in that. A hundred percent.

And I would love to continue to emphasize the importance of that and to make sure that we have career paths, clear career paths that make people feel as though they're welcome in these services, all of them. My father served in the Navy, my grandfather as well. I served in the Air Force, my brother in the Army. But I also want to make sure that we stop and knock off the nonsense of maligning places like Harvard or MIT. Those things have both come up now. We work so hard to be not just the best military in the world, but also to have the best schools in the world. And it's really, really important that we do that as well. I appreciate your time, gentlemen, and I yield back.

Well, now, that was interesting. She noted her credentials. She Navy Brat attended Stanford, got an engineering degree via an Air Force ROTC scholarship. And she's exactly who Whiskey Pete Kegbreath does not want in the military, you know, be as how she's a woman and everything. And then there's the question of the golden fleet, the Trump-class battleship. which we need, for the most part, like submarines need screen doors,

but I'm not going to, I probably shouldn't use that metaphor anymore. Analogy, simile, whatever. I shouldn't, because the next thing you know, nitwit Nero will be demanding screen doors on submarines. We're that far down the rabbit hall. Education in the military, Stephen New York notes, Hung Bovine is for this.

How long before he's fired? I mean, yeah, he said, uh, oh. But it was a tough day for Hung Cow. I wanted some, I really wanted somebody to ask him about the witches. But Seth Moulton questioned him, specifically about the Trump class of battleships. I suspect in an, in an effort, to get him to get himself in a bad way with Orange Daddy.

He was back to you. I recognize the gentleman from Massachusetts. Mr. Malton. Thank very much, Mr. Chairman. The Shacketing Secretary, thank you for your service to our country. You said that the Navy would have five unmanned naval vessels by 2027 and 63 by 2031. Now, I agree that unmanned systems are a huge part of the future of naval warfare, but what about the small autonomous sea drones that are actually doing the work in Ukraine?

Because Ukraine is producing hundreds of sea drones a month. We're nowhere near that level. Now, I thought Secretary Higseth was proud of leaning up very far forward on drones and autonomous systems. It doesn't feel like that's your department's priority. Actually, Congressman, that's far from the truth, sir. We are very invested in drones. In fact, we have the RAAS PAE that's her whole job is to look at, drones and...

Okay, so Ukraine, you say you're very invested in drones. Ukraine's standard sea drones cost about $250,000 a piece. And using those, they've pretty much destroyed Russia's entire Black Sea fleet, billions of dollars in damages. Do you think that that kind of capability might help us in the Strait of Hormuz today?

Absolutely, sir. Again, when I say the five, we're talking large ones, and we are investing a lot of the small ones, and I will turn that over to Admiral Cottle, who can tell you more about the requirements for small, unmanned Well, I'm just wondering, I mean, you're requesting $17 billion for a single battleship hull that won't be delivered until 2036. Do you know how many 250,000 drones you could buy for that one Trump class battleship?

Yes, sir, but those drones cannot carry the conventional prompt strike or have 200. Okay, just to put this in perspective, it's 68,000 drones. I think 68,000 drones when Ukraine is producing 50 to 100, actually, sorry, several hundred a month, might help us. today in the Strait of Hormuz. I just don't, doesn't not feel like a good investment. Again, sir, the drones can't get there by themselves. It's like the little turtle that sits on your fence post. You know, it's funny, the Ukrainians managed to get them there.

They barely even have a Navy. We have 55 times the coastline of Ukraine. They're not, if they can figure it out, Mr. Secretary, I'd like to think American could figure out too. Yes, sir. Mr. Acting Secretary, you told a powerful and very American story of how your family immigrated from Vietnam a few years after the, war. I'm proud that our country supported you and your family. Do you think we should do the same

for our Afghan allies who are being hunted down by the Taliban right now as we speak? Sir, before I came to this job, actually right after the fall off Afghanistan, I mean, which broke my heart. I mean, watching mothers hand babies to Marines just reminding me what happened to Vietnam. I understand. And I was there too. I felt the same way. But I'm just asking, do you think we should give the same privileges? Oh, mothers handing babies to Marines. If the babies got back here, guess who the babies then got? Well, they weren't handed to them. I wonder how many were abducted by the ice goons.

Just asking. There's opportunities to our Afghan allies that our country gave to you and your family and your friends. Sorry, I mean, anybody who comes here legally should be given the opportunity to come here. Well, I'll tell you what, you and I will disagree on a lot of things. You might even say we're political adversaries. But I'm very proud that President Ford, President Carter, President Reagan did not deport you or your family while you were working on becoming citizens. Now, Mr. Arctic Secretary, you have publicly supported Secretary Higgs-Sup proposal to ban active-duty

military members from attending Harvard. Both your official bio and your bio for the Senate campaign proudly lists your Harvard affiliation. As a Harvard fellow yourself, do you believe the education and credentials that you received compromised your ability to serve or lead effectively? Sir, we are looking at the best education for our military members. I mean, that's why Naval... Did Harvard make you too woke? Did Harvard make you too woke to be the Secretary of the Navy? No, sir, but Naval Postgraduate School allowed me to have...

You survived Harvard without becoming woke, but you don't trust your officers who get in there, who want to go there, who apply there, to be able to go there themselves and not be indoctrinated? Congressman, we need to invest into where they would best fit for the Navy. Again, going to Naval Postgraduate School, I actually got a... But you think it was a big mistake for you to go to Harvard? Because you talk about it a lot in your bio. Actually, I had mentioned it once, sir. I mean, it's just that... You think it was a mistake?

Sir, I would love my education in Naval Postgraduate School because it allowed me to learn... Yeah, but I'm asking you about Harvard. If you can't answer the question, don't take the job, Mr. Secretary. Let me ask you another question. You're the final authority for naming U.S. Navy ships. Do you think President Clinton, who dodged the draft, never served in the military, and was impeached, should have CVN 82 named after him? Sir, the convention for naming... Yes or no, Mr. Secretary?

Sorry, I mean, that's... You think... Do you think the ship should be named after President Clinton? It should be named after the United States, sir. So you support naming it after President Clinton? I have to review all the naming conventions, sir. I've not reviewed. Well, I hope that you do.

I'm the termination. I recognize. I'm the edema building up in your lower. Yeah, shut up. Um, wait, what? How did Bill Clinton get into that? What's Seth Moulton trying to accomplish there? Or was he, or was that a levity dimensional chess where,

because I'm a little, I'm a little sketchy on Seth Moulton. I don't, uh, I don't, I don't, I don't trust him much. No, for a variety of reasons. But that seemed kind of out of left field. Way out of left field. But the business about the battleship, I think you should have spent more time on that. It's just a floating target in the water. And no doubt NITWITNRA wants human beings on that thing.

And poor old hung cow was sitting there. I mean, we've got to have some way to get the drones there. Huh? And I'd feel some sympathy for him if he wasn't such a shit-eaten maggot, but, well, here we are. And it got painful. Well, he can't have enjoyed it. But Representative Sarah Jacobs from California wanted to know about the war, you know, what is it? Where is it?

How is it? Secretary Cow, the think tank CSIS estimates Operation Epic Fury cost roughly $900 million a day, about $3.7 billion in the first 100 hours, with 10 to 16 billion in munitions fired in the first four days. Your FY27 budget requests $82.6 billion for operations and maintenance from this committee. What portion of that is just buying back what we shot in Epic Fury versus funding the Navy's readiness going forward. Congressman, thank you for the question. None of this budget was built before Epic Fury,

and this is why we will require supplemental in order to pay for all the munitions and the operations and maintenance that comes with it. Okay, because, you know, with the fleet already 20,000 sailors short on sea billets, I'm concerned that this $340 billion is not actually going to be what you need in terms of buying the ships, the sailors, the magazine depth to sustain what will likely be a sustained CENTCOM presence for years in the Strait of Hormuz. So can you commit to... Ooh, is that kind of brilliant?

I don't think you've asked for enough money, have you? Deliver to this committee the department's current assessment of commercial shipping transit through the straight under U.S. escort, Iranian acquiescence, or neither. along with the Navy's forced generation plan for sustaining the presence required through FY27? Congressman, we will provide whatever information you need. Again, this is still an ongoing operation. As of yesterday, they're still launching over 100 one-way attack drones and more than three dozen, three or four dozen cruise missiles at us.

So the operations are still going on, even though there's a ceasefire, they're still firing at us, ma'am. Sure. I mean, but the president said it was over, and now you're saying it's ongoing. So you can understand why we as the committee that's trying to figure out what you're actually going to need, needs some more information from you all. Yes, ma'am, absolutely. But yes, our kinetic operations have finished. We're just protecting other people. And that's what we're doing with that. The Iranians are still shooting at allied shipping and. Then how the fuck are kinetic operations fit? if the Iranians are still shooting at you.

Because your, well, your daddy said that their military has been completely obliterated. Can't have it both ways. Mr. Cow? No, and just being belligerent, ma'am. You're, what? Mr. Cow, I think you're full of bull. With that, the Iranians are still shooting at Allied shipping and just being belligerent, ma'am. Okay, well, we would like to know what you all in the Navy are going to need to sustain either this U.S. escort presence or this blockade or, you know, whatever we're doing.

So please get that to us. General Smith, as you know, I represent San Diego, the largest military community in the country. There are many reports of strain of the strain on our Marine and Navy families across San Diego. We know Marines are trained for accelerated departure. You guys are first out. This is what you train for, but that doesn't make it any easier on the families, and especially with the lack of information on timelines. And, you know, I talked to one family support counselor who described the current situation

in San Diego as panic and worry at levels they had not seen in recent years. And honestly, the family members I talk to, they don't know what support systems are available to them while their family members are deployed. What specific resources, family readiness programs, mental health? health support, chaplain services, et cetera, are currently funded and active for the families of the 11th Mew. Ma'am, the 11th Mew has family readiness coordinators who are active duty members who support the families who are back home. And then they have a family support network, which is comprised of the spouses who are going to keep a phone tree, so to speak, to keep themselves informed. Bear in mind the whole time that this is going on, all of these fuckers are just salute snappers.

Every one of these motherfuckers is probably chargeable with war crimes. From Hung Cowell to Admiral Cottle to whoever this four stars on his shoulderboards are, the guy, he's a Marine Expeditionary Unit, Muse. They're all probably war criminals. If they weren't part of the U.S. military, if they were, say, a part of, oh, the Serbian military or the Rwandan military, they'd be in a dock in the Hague answering for war crimes charges. Damn it. And then the command has the responsibility to keep those families informed via those coordinators. Okay, well, whatever is happening is not enough.

Families are not getting what they need, and I'm glad you brought up the family readiness coordinators. I asked Lieutenant General Bowers this at a military personnel subcommittee last month, but there's been recent news that the Marine Corps is phasing out its civilian personnel and family readiness program. These positions are needed now more than ever. These coordinators work with commanders to provide insight on quality of life for Marines and their families, relay information to spouses. Can you provide an update to me on these coordinators? Have you reconsidered this decision to phase out these positions? Ma'am, I'll have to come back to you on that.

Okay. Well, I really hope that you do because we cannot make this responsibility a collateral duty for our Marines. We will undermine both missions. Our families need to get this information. They need to get this so that our Marines can do their jobs. And, you know, my community is paying the brunt of this right now. It is really, really hard on our community and on our family. So I hope that you'll do everything you can to make sure they're getting the support that they need. Mr. Chairman, I yield back. Well, Representative Jacobs, hope in one hand and, well, you know what goes on in the other one, don't you?

Meanwhile, as Stephen New York has pointed out, the Iranians are still shooting because it's a ceasefire, don't you know? Yeah. Meanwhile, in the actual real stupid war that nitwit Nero started, at the behest of you know who, Psycho Beebe. Well, Dateline Dubai, the Associated Press. Let's see. One ship anchored off the United Arab Emirates was seized and taken toward Iran, and another cargo ship near Oman sank after being attacked.

The AP says it wasn't immediately clear who was behind these incidents. I don't know Associated Press. Being towed toward Iran seems like a clue. But they happened as a senior Iranian official reiterated his country's claim with control over the waterway. It ain't a claim, y'all. It's a fact. Like Robert said when he called in to C-SPAN this morning, nitwit narrow once the streets of Hormuz opened.

but they were opened before he started his stupid goddamn war that all of those fuckers snapped salutes to while we're at it a senior Iranian official reiterated his country claim of control over the waterway and another said it had a right to seize oil tankers connected to the U.S. Well you know rights are what they say they are out there when you're engaging in lawless wars so according to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations Center The ship in question was taken by unauthorized personnel while anchored 38 nautical miles

northeast of the United Arab Emirates port of Huijira they didn't give the name of the ship but it's headed toward Iranian waters I say that's hardly cricket is it and by the way the the British government may be collapsing uh Keir Starmer

has outlived maybe ahead of lettuce but perhaps not much more and it's his own party coming for him that stings the ship that back to the Gulf of the Straits of Hormuz the ship that sank off of Oman that was an Indian

flagged cargo ship it came under attack and caught fire in route from Somalia to Sharjah. That's another port in the UAE. Yeah. All 14 Indian crew members were rescued by Oman's Coast Guard and were safe, so that sort of puts paid to the notion that the Iranians are crazy. They're not machine-gunning people in the water.

That's what, the United States of America, the greatest country in the history of the world on earth now today, forever in the universe under God does. Meanwhile, the seizure, the ship that got seized off of the UAE, that happened after, and what the fuck is wrong with him? A lot. Psycho Beebe said, uh, well, Yes, I quietly visited the UAE.

And the UAE went, uh, no, no, he didn't. He didn't never, be, be, baby, who, who? Never heard of the guy. What? And for all we know, Nitwit Niro went to China and said, Please, pretty please. Could you, could you, could you, could,

President Xi, could you pretty please tell the Iranians to open the Straits of Hormuz? I take it as a personal favor. We'll give you Taiwan. Oh, we will take Taiwan when we want it. You, you, you birthed this baby. Dumbass?

you bath it God and let's wrap up and by the way like I said we are we've got $482 to go on Vince's challenge

the fuck the Watertown Wisconsin School Board Challenge and if you'd like to help out with that it's a big one and it would knock out a whale of a chunk of this godforsaken deficit that's bedeviled us practically since the beginning of the year.

So, no, just, we'll get away from this idiotic war. And let's check in, God, I've been despising this woman for a long time. Virginia double X Fox. She's a maggot from North Carolina, and before she was a maggot, she was a tea bagger, and before she was a tea bagger, she was a loyal bushy, and hell somewhere back there, she was probably a fucking John Bircher

or a member of the Ku Klux Klan Ladies' Auxley. A 10-year-old kid, a fourth grader, as part of a school assignment, wrote a letter. This North Carolina kid in her district wrote her a letter about electric cars and climate

Well she or some shit-eating member of her staff wrote back And the letter found its way to the interweb tubes And it became infamous almost instantaneously It's oh my god the letter So nasty Thank you for reaching out to me.

That's about as nice as it got. And then she tied into this 10-year-old with, as if she was talking to an adult. It's, and by the way, the return address was marked fourth grade. It was obvious it was from a 10-year-old or so. And so she then proceeded to lecture the young man about taxes and government spending and constitutional limits on federal thwarty and the national debt. And then she doubled down and included links to opinion pieces criticizing renewable energy policy.

and, I mean, you know, the usual shitty right-wing suspects. And then she said, and why don't you go back to your teacher and ask your teacher to explain to you what propaganda is? Because teachers focus more on indoctrinating students and helping them learn critical thinking skills. She's so repulsive. I thought I had the actual letter.

Let's see. There it is. among other things she said well the national debt batters more and a tax rebate would take money out of the pockets of hard working people here's a link about the urgent crisis of the national debt

this is an urgent crisis and we must act before it is too late to turn away from this dangerous path that we're on which will lead inevitably to economic failure and bankruptcy Jesus Christ the United States can't go bankrupt we have a sovereign currency you dumbass

and this woman was a teacher no less. 2038 is only 12 years away and you and your classmates will be responsible for that debt. Incidentally, please ask your teacher to explain propaganda to you. You bitch! You absolute bitch.

You know what's even closer than 2038, Virginia double X Fox? 2029. That's the drop dead date for the climate. Yeah. And that turns out to a

been a conservative estimate. We may already be even more fucked than we knew. But Virginia double X-Fox is like a million goddamn years old. And she doesn't have to worry about it because she'll be worm food when that little, when that 10-year-old boy is trying to swim out of the holler when another Helene hits North Carolina. She represents the district that got hammered by Helene, by the way. and she's so fucking petty, she even cut off access to one of her neighbors via a road that has an easement on it.

From Darrell in Houston, Deep State. Maggots are obsessed with the Deep State, however, they drastically misinterpret it. They think the Deep State is the bureaucracy, anyone trying to make government work as well as possible, and anyone that doesn't agree with them. The real Deep State is the extreme right-wing rats that have infiltrated public service. all these people in the military promoted and given control by the fascist in chief were not recruited they were there to begin with same with the FBI CIA NSA DOG extreme court etc ooh the extreme court that's very good FAPE was in place long before dump just waiting to be able to let his fascist racist misogynist colors fly corollary there are no good Republicans they all have always known that their base included the KKK Nazis etc and that they needed them to get elected.

This is why they did not purge these scum from the party completely. They gave a cursory effort to do so in public occasionally ejecting a rat that showed his true colors, but never rejecting their voters that supported these rats. I haven't expressed the fullness of these ideas very clearly, but, well, I'm sure Roxanne can elaborate. I know, no, you have, you did, you did, Carol. Do you remember when the loyal Bushies left office and had previously, talked about how they had put sleeper cells throughout the federal government

graduates of those draw spunky back of the matchbook law schools and whatnot yeah because I do and they're still there and since you mentioned Republicans and racists well hey look

it's Jesse Waters the guy who used to stalk people for Bill Falafelman O'Reilly before he got caught trying to grope women and cost rupee a cool multi millions of dollars

well Jesse Waters went on air earlier today to bark and grunt about the voting rights act warning this is fucking disgusting there we go Canada if you were wondering where I'm talking about

they're doing a little bit of a secessionist vote I did some research on the blacks as Judge Janine so eloquently would say The solution to Hakeem's problem, the Skae Obama, is babymaking. Blacks, for 150 years, have only represented 10 to 15% of the American population. It would really make a lot more sense if this guy did it with a hood on. Okay.

That's not that much. So if they want to have more seats, they got to get in between the sheets. Spanish, they're coming north. They're having tons of kids. And at this point, they had the... The Spanish are coming north? The Spanish? Almost the same amount of house seats as blacks.

The Hispanic caucus is almost as big as the black caucus. So if you guys need to solve that problem, you know what you need to do. I'm not arguing for more black congressmen. I'm arguing just don't draw the district's advantage of part. No, you're just discriminating against whites. That was an all-black district. We want to be in that district.

We don't support segregation. I get to my kids. No, it's not a blacks only, it's whites only. We have a, you know, very diverse district now. Jillian. Jesus, goddamn Christ. Just say the word, waters. We know you're itching to and nothing.

Yeah, Ralphs, he did research on the blacks. And the thing is, he'll never be fired from Fox. because this keeps people tuned in and it makes Emery and Marvelline feel all warm and happy that warm thrill of confusion, that Space Cadet Glow. Oh, by the way, just wrapping things up. At the beginning of the program, I mentioned the case coming out of Rhode Island

and the DOJ getting its ass handed to it by a maggot judge, no less. Well, it is disturbing. News out of Canada. this is bizarre that was a case about you know the case coming out of Rhode Island was about gender affirming care a lot of the gender affirming care in Canada particularly surgeries are taken care of or done at uh done in Montreal their allegations and and Canadians are absolutely infuriated about this that students at McGill University in Montreal have been been turned away from gender affirming care with the providers in question claiming that they were declining

coverage or declining to provide care based on nitwit Nero's executive order in the United States of America because these were American students attending McGill University. Just what the hell? I'm going to try to follow up on that, but

I thought the Canadian contingent of the Horn family community congregation might want to know about that. So, that's the program. Told you it was going to be content rich.
