Head-ON With Robyn Roxanne Kincaid - Head-ON With Roxanne Kincaid, 19 March 2026, Thorny Thursday

Episode Date: March 20, 2026

"We must endure the unendurable." Only Nitwit Nero could confess doing a Pearl Harbor in front of the Japanese Prime Minister.   

The password is Torah. Here we go, live from behind the corn phone curtain. It's head-on with Roxanne Kincaid. Three hours of cussin and discussing with America's only liberal trans-billy 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 19th day of March, 2006. This is the horn. Headon.com. Live is where you'll find us on the interweb tubes. That's where you go.

He'd like to be part of the Merry Wacky's Any Real-Time Madcap Multimedia extravaganza that is the horn chat room in the third. three hours in which this program is live, Monday through 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. If you're a member of the podcast and contingent of the Horn Family Community Congregation, well, first of all, let me thank you for sharing your precious finite time with us in that manner. It really does mean a lot. I love to know that you're out there. and if you could take a moment, and some of you do, if you could take a moment, I know I say this every evening, but you never know, maybe this will be the program or something goes, you know what, that was great.

That show was just great. I got to leave a comment. But if you do, if you leave comments and the like, wherever you download the podcast, it's really, really helpful in terms of getting traction with the various and sundry algorithm. whether it's Pod Bean, Podcast Republic, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. It really does help. And so thank you to those of you who already do. And thanks if you decide to do so yourself. And, of course, if you're listening live, well, over at the aforementioned Mary Wacky Zaney,

Squeaky and I are hanging out as well as Horn Chief of. Agronimus, Chief Mathematician, Bud Tremmer, Emeritus, and Zimmergist extraordinaire, Roger, in Oregon, and others, I'm sure, will be wandering by at one point or another. Oh, hi, I'm Roxanne, and every program here at the Horn begins with gratitude, and this program is no different. So here, for this 19th day of the month, we say thank you to Darlene in Connecticut, and to David in Oregon. again. Thank you both so much for being partial sponsors of the program. The funding deficit stands here on this Thorn in the side Thursday. There's Ralphs. Hey, Ralphs. The funding deficit stands at 1225, $1,225. That means that it's all of this week plus $25.25.002.00. That means that it's all of this week plus $25. remaining from last Friday on the front porch. If we could knock that out, at least knock out last Friday, then we'd only be a week behind going into Friday on the front porch tomorrow.

So thanks in advance for everything you do to keep independent, progressive, liberal broadcasting, afloat and on the air. Thank you so very much. The PayPal button's over at headon.com.

And for a $10, you know, when you jump into the tune of $10, you're setting yourself back about, golly a half the the the the the price of a little less than half a stick of chewing gum at wriglies the good stuff per per program cheap yeah there's theo popping by the uh the chat room hey theo how are you and so like i said it's thorn in the side thursday and it's well I think to say the very least, it's thorny. Mercy, you know, merciful heavens. Well, let me explain the password.

No, no, the password had nothing to do with Holy Scripture. Torah, as in Torah, Torah, Torah. We might as well start here because it makes as much sense as anywhere else because nothing much makes any sense. These days, we live in a really stupid, screwy timeline. It's a hot mess. But that having been said, well, the Maggot Hort, I mean, White House hosted the Prime Minister, Japan today, literally a real partner in peace, friends that we have made since the close of the Second World War, and not to put too much emphasis on it, but Sylvie, just one letter,

yikes. I'm paying bills today. I read the header on one site and just about plots. To make Bill paying easier, set up an autopsy. autopsy meek i know they take bills out of my hide but this is terrifying i leaned in closer oh auto pay almost faints with relief what a difference one tiny letter makes oh i know i know that that would that would have given me uh it would have started me on on the road toward a full-on coneption and i've i've been i've been connipionating pretty much all week long not worth mentioning But, yeah, we have a, the Japanese people, the Japanese government, we, we, in a big way, that was Douglas MacArthur, we wrote the Japanese constitution for them after the unconditional surrender of the Empire of Japan,

aboard the USS Missouri in 1945, the summer of 1945, August. and we made it clear that the Japanese would never be a belligerent maker of offensive war ever again. And that's held pretty pretty, it's held out fairly well over the years. Of course, there are people in Japan, and particularly Okinawa, who aren't terribly fond of having our troops all over the place there. But I suppose it's good for the economy and every now and then

the Marine will just get a little rapy and no, I'm not diminishing it. It's a horror. But the relationship has been pretty good and pretty steady over the decades. But the, well, there's a relatively famous movie

about the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor called Tora, Tora, Torah, Torah, attack, attack, attack, um, hence the password. And when this filthy, misbegotten, dirty, underhanded, disgusting war, well, when Nitwit Niro started it, because Bibi told him to and, well, what Bibi wants, Bibi gets. from daddy. I said that it was dirty and filthy and underhanded in a sneak attack. And I think the first broadcast, the Monday broadcast after he started his war of choice on Saturday, I think, if I recall correctly, I paraphrased FDR's speech to the Congress

on December the 8th, 1941, you know, a day that will live in infamy. And so, I mean, please, no, there's no gratification to the realization that I was right again. But sitting there in the tacky-ass White House with the stupid Amazon gold decor all over the place, because, well, nitwitnero has the taste of a pimp, which is not surprising given the fact that his grandfather was one, and a draft dodger, just like his grandson would be. Yeah, if I recall correctly, that the former Friedrich Drumpf died in the flu pandemic of 1918.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Actually, it happened to a lot of nicer people. My grandmother's fiancé, as a matter of fact, I would not be here had that not happened. She was going to marry a man named Leg, L-E-G-G-G, a very prominent name. in that community. But she married a Concade instead. Stand by. I can't tell.

There's something crawling up the curtain here, and it's, well, it's probably a wee tiny spider, but it's wee tiny, and I'm hoping it's not a wee tiny tick, but, well, we're close to the first day of spring. Give me a second. I hate to kill them, but if it's a tick, it's going to die. Stand by. No, it's a spider, so I'll just keep an eye on it and escort it, escort her outside after the program's over. But anyway, anyway, to get back to my previous point, yeah, he has the taste of a pimp, bordello operator.

I mean, it's so gross, and he's got his tacky-ass little toy airplane down there on the coffee table in front. and the Prime Minister of Japan is just sitting there, and she is smiling pleasantly. And I can't help but wonder if in her head was playing. The first recording, of course, she's younger. She was not alive to hear it when it happened, but I suspect everyone in Japan knows about this. when the for the very first time ever the Japanese people heard the voice of their emperor

saying that in the aftermath of the war that Japan would have to endure the unendurable and and she's smiling and I can't help wondering if in in the back of her mind she's hearing that quote again yeah I'm the prime minister of Japan and here I am in enduring the unendurable again sitting next to this filthy pedophile. But like I said, with the news out that nitlit Nero wants $200 billion, you know, we're, we're what, $13 billion in the hole for this stupid war. As of now, we're running about a billion dollars and change per day. And now he wants

$200 billion more. And intrepid pixel-stained wretch asked why. Almost over. Why is the Pentagon going to ask Congress for an additional $200 billion? Well, we're asking for a lot of reasons

beyond even what we're talking about in Iran. This is a very volatile world. And the military equipment, the, the, the, power of some of this weaponry is unthinkable. You don't even want to know about it. Oh, you could end this thing in two seconds if you wanted to,

but we are being very judicious, but we want to do, don't forget. Yeah, so he kind of telegraphed his intentions, didn't he? There are some very powerful weapons. You don't know we could end it in two seconds? the last time we ended a war in two seconds. It was not actually two seconds. It was two separate bombings, and it was fat man and little boy, and it was Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

I would say that in the Japanese mindset of dignity and decorum, that's not a nice thing to talk about in front of the Japanese prime minister. one could say it was well downright rude oh god but there's even more and it's the whole sneak attack thing and the and mentioning it this is this is because he's he has profound and ongoing brain damage he is literally a mental defective and so we got this Mr. President, do you intend to lift sanctions on Iranian oil and do you intend to potentially put U.S. troops or more troops in the region? No, I'm not putting troops anywhere.

If I were, I certainly wouldn't tell you, but I'm not putting troops and we will do whatever is necessary to keep the price as well. actually thought when I did this, look, the Dow just hit 50,000 a couple of weeks ago. They said that couldn't happen for four years. It wouldn't happen in my term. It's such an outrageous thing because I said it would happen. I didn't know it was going to happen that fast, but it just hit 50,000. And we did that in one year, not four. S&P. So he, yeah. And if I did, I wouldn't kill you. what it what it what it just what a shitty little piss in jesus crime so you know bear in mind that

whenever whenever he says something like yeah he uh he's he's he's he's in a bind he's in a bad bind as some wag i noted earlier said it took us 20 years in Afghanistan to replace the Taliban with the Taliban. But, well, it's only taken nitwit Niro a couple of weeks to replace Ayatollah Khomeini with Ayatollah Khomeini. Jesus, craminy. I mean, but as far as the bombing thing is concerned and the reference to Japan, Jesus cramini. Japan and you are a very good friend. But one question, why...

Now, bear in mind, this question is coming from the Japanese press. And he notes Japan is a good friend. The embarrassment. The sense of shame I feel, profound and abiding, deep and broad shame, is almost inexpressible. I don't know about y'all, but that's how it is for me. Japan and U.S. are a very good friend. But one question, why didn't you tell U.S. allies in Europe and Asia like Japan about the war before attacking Europe?

Fair question. Why didn't you tell your allies in Europe and Asia about the coming war? It's not like they were going to run out and tell the Ayatollah, but they could have. have taken steps to make sure that the economic chaos that spreads from it could be, well, mitigated. Well, one thing you don't want to signal too much. You know, when we go in, we went in very hard, and we didn't tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Okay? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor? Okay. Right?

He's escrowby. Do you believe in surprise? I think much more so than us. You motherfucker. You filthy, deranged, perverted, sickening piece of shit. The Japanese people have been committed to peace since 1945. And they've been the best friend that we've had in the region.

But he is such a god-dust. damned xenophob, such a disgusting, racist, that he thinks an entire country that has been raised on the principles of nonviolence is the same as the fascist cabal who took control of Japan in the early 20th century when nothing could be further from the truth. It's not enough anymore to say that he is the Dunning Kruger president, the president who doesn't know what he doesn't know. This is repulsive. I'm running out of words. And the look on the prime minister's face, well, she's not mad at the press for asking why the United States had not done privately and quietly what it had done in the past.

I mean, you know, when George W. Bush was trying to set up his coalition of the billing, he went to all of our friends and said, I need you to send, and need you to send some troops, because we're going to bring freedom to the people who are at, because they tried to kill my daddy. He, ha, ha, ha, fuck you damn. We're taking him out.

But there's something deeper at work here. And that is, but Nero didn't know. He doesn't know what he doesn't know. Nitwit Niro didn't know he was going to attack Iran until Bebey told him to. This is just so awful, so tasteless. And by the way, while we're at it, you know, Japan is not without flaws on, on, In one respect, Japan has had a notoriously macho culture and can be really sexist,

but they managed to elect a woman as Prime Minister, Sanai Taikiichi. Meanwhile, we have two successive, not successive, but two failed candidates for president of the United States who, on the hustings, begged the American people to please, please, please, please pay attention. And that Donald Trump was a dangerous man, unhinged. As Hillary Clinton once said, he can be enraged by a tweet. But the American people, or too many of the American people, did not listen. And so we're here. we're hemorrhaging a billion or more dollars a day

we're involved in a war that he doesn't know how to get out of and there's no end in sight the economy may fall apart i don't give a fuck what he said about well the deal costs $50,000 well it's lost all of that shit for brains and the the uncomfortable laughter in the room just nauseating Mark Jacob, who used to be the editor at the Chicago Tribune, said Trump jokes about Pearl Harbor with his guests, the Japanese prime minister. He's mentally unhinged with no impulse control or sense of what's appropriate. If no one else will say it, we have a pretty long track record of being right about things here. He is experiencing the decline that goes with a lifetime of unabated drug abuse.

He's never tried to get sober. He's been snorting this and snorting that. Probably all his life. He is unhinged. He does have no impulse control. He has no sense of the appropriate. He's a shitty old grandpa falling apart. Democratic strategist John Cooper opined.

I can't believe Trump just joked about Pearl Harbor while sitting next to Japan's prime minister at the White House. What an absolute embarrassment. Stephen Bechloss, the journalist, said, who knows more about surprise in Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor, the embarrassing idiot? In response to a Japanese reporter's question about starting a war with Iran while sitting next to the Japanese prime minister. And as another individual pointed out, you could hear the air go out of the room. somebody who goes by the term the name democracy dude said this is another leak in the cognitive dam look for increasingly racist comments in the coming weeks unless biology steps in and saves us

i have a feeling we'll hear the n-word by the midterms well again remember noel casler says that mark burnett has hours and hours and hours of footage containing nitwit nero using that word copiously frequently and freely during his apprentice days and another person said my great aunt his suck hisako was the Nagasaki survivor great uncle was a pilot brought her to US post-war we saw her regularly till her death when I was 20 sweet gentle woman first rule of the family was to never discuss the war ever, even when cancer finally killed her. The look on the prime minister's face.

And she had gone from smiling and being genial. Holy shit, what did he just say? And, well, it's not just, uh, it's not just, uh, it's not just nitwit Nero that's having trouble justifying the war. Dan Crenshaw, who will be done being a congressman come January of 27 because he got beaten by a maggot challenger from the right. Well, he may be, he may be a soon-to-be ex-congresman, but he doesn't have the, he doesn't have quite the courage that say a Thomtillis does. and so he still can't bring himself to criticize his orange daddy when he has an opportunity and a moral imperative to do so. He showed up, Crenshaw did earlier today on CNN talking to Boris Sanchez.

Oh, this is embarrassing. Let's begin Republican Congressman Dan Crenshaw of Texas. Congressman, thanks so much for being with us. I want to start by getting your thoughts on a portion of DNI Gabbard's written. remarks yesterday she said that as a result of last year strikes the iran nuclear program uh... was obliterated she said that there had been no efforts since then to try to rebuild their enrichment capability

today she tried to clarify by saying that to ron still maintain the intention to eventually rebuild uranium enrichment does that sound like this nuclear program was an imminent threat to the united before we get into his answer They still maintain the intention to someday think about maybe possibly. Are we back to program-related activity ideas again?

Sure as hell sounds like it. I'd say it's a persistent threat. I mean, everyone's really getting hung up on the word imminent. And let's be clear about the word imminent. It's a subjective word. I mean, and if having worked in intelligence, having done analysis, having done intelligence collection myself in my prior career, you're going to be careful about,

before you make a very, a very final statement on something being eminence. And so when Tulsi... I mean, after all, what does eminent really mean? I mean, does it mean like in the next two seconds or the next two minutes? I mean, what is eminent really mean? says to Congress and to the public that it's ultimately up to the president, whether it's imminent,

that's not that crazy of a thing to say. It's up to the intelligence community to provide the facts as they see them. And it is up to the political class in the White House to assess that and make decisions based upon that. So when you have the Iranians, it working, again, working to rebuild those deep down bunkers for, you know, It's kind of strange to have very deep bunkers for peaceful nuclear means, by the way. Well, is it really that strange to have deep down bunkers when you've got Israel with fangs with its fangs dripping blood within missile reach of you? Is that really that cray cray? Because I don't think it is.

intention to rebuild nuclear, but he's just yacking out of his ass there because there's no evidence of it. The only eminence was the eminence that Bebe told Daddy was there. But, you know, but, but, but, but, but Bibi is a psycho, was a psycho. and he got up every morning. It convinced that there was an imminent threat from Iran because the imminent threat from Iran was really that they wouldn't do anything bellicose and that he, Bibi, might actually finally have to face justice.

Oh, it's exhausting. So producing missiles on daily and Shahed drones daily at a rate that would completely overwhelm our ability to defend. them. I would classify that as a pretty... Yeah, but okay. So they were building defensive, not... They were building non-nuclear weapons for purposes of return strikes in the event of someone making war on them. Oh, and by the way, again, this is no defense of Iran. Iran was also building those missiles and drones, especially the drones, because they were being paid handsomely for them by daddy's dear, dear friend

Vlad Puti in Mother Russia, because the rickety Russian infrastructure really couldn't produce enough munitions to send it at Ukraine, where his barbarian hordes have been stymied. At this point, maybe a million or more Russians dead trying to subjugate a much smaller country. I wonder if Boris will ask him about any of that. Silly, Roxanne. imminent threats. I mean, heck, they've been a persistent threat, at least, since 1979. So everyone's getting hung up on this, and I'm not sure why. I don't view this conflict with Iran as just a rash decision by the president. I view it as something that was much more inevitable.

I guess, Congressman, part of the... Yeah, you know what? Dan Crenshaw, just one little observation here. given the fact that there's a neck rot running up your orange Jesus's neck, maybe don't use language like, you know, daddy watches everything. Daddy hears all. What again? So everyone's getting hung up on this, and I'm not sure why. I don't view this conflict with Iran as just.

a rash decision by the president. Oh, there's a rash all right. It is something that was much more inevitable. I guess, Congressman, part of the concern is that the president is only supposed to act unilaterally without input from Congress if there's going to be an imminent strike on Americans. In other words, if there is an immediate danger to American lives, that's... Oh, Boris Duthrot another big word at Ben Cranshaw. immediate i guess dan krenshaw didn't see that coming different than saying that iran has a persistent

threat or eventually may have the capacity to harm americans on the mainland no i don't think it's different at all i think that the you phrased the same thing in two different ways that's no no no practitioner of the art of word knowing here immediate and imminent not the same thing. But either way, daddy broke the law by not going to Congress. That's like I just having, having been looking at Iran since I was a seal in my entire time in Congress, it has been consistently a threat to Americans, killed hundreds of Americans in Iraq, constantly practices targeting our American bases in the Persian Gulf, you know,

taking our, bombing the Beirut embassy, taking our people hostage. This is not some kind of new thing. threat. And also, and here's the other thing. Oh, wait, it's not some kind of new threat, but they've never threatened the United States with a nuclear weapon. They don't even possess a missile that could reach the United States. See, this is what happens when you view your enemy as being crazy. The Iranians were negotiating in good faith, twice. And we sneak attack them both occasions.

We didn't run any sneak attacks on them when we were negotiating the JCPOA because it would have been counterproductive. And once again, because Bibi is driving all of this, Israel is more and more steadily less safe with every stupid bloodthirsty decision that cyclical. Kobe, Kewibi, Kesei, makes. What is imminent is the idea that you might have another North Korea. And so, and so you're at a point in history, again, it's just nothing to do with Trump and who's in office. You're at a point in history where you either decide that you're not going to have another North Korea or you are. And right now, the only way to prevent that the second North Korea, madman with a bomb, is to use conventional means. And that's exactly what they're doing.

Yeah, fuck off. A second North Korea. I can't help notice. And yet he describes Kim Jong bad golf pants as a madman with a bomb, and yet the madman hasn't done anything mad yet, even. That presents the counter argument that the reason that nitwit Niro, apart from the fact that Beebe told him to, attacked Iran, was because, Iran, he thought, was defenseless, was little helpless, couldn't do much against the overpowering might of the vast American military industrial complex. But now, on the other hand, we're running out of missiles. running out of munitions.

And those things are rather, they're rather sensitive to build. And they take a little bit to ramp up production to wartime levels. We've lived for a long time with the notion that, well, you know, we can just rain some death and destruction from the skies on school kids and whatnot. And then, you know, declare victory and what have you. I've been doing that for a long time. But this isn't that war. Because Orange Julius Gieser is in over his head, knows to the extent that he knows anything,

that he's in over his head. And now he wants to bomb his way out. And that business earlier about, We could end this war in two seconds. When I first heard that clip earlier today, the little hairs stood up on the back of my neck, my blood ran cold, and I realized

he's where I said he is he's a desperate cornered rat and it really doesn't matter what general raisin tells him or any of the others unless they're

the modern day version of Buck Turgitson I won't say we wouldn't get our hair must but yeah 10 million people tops 10 million mothers fathers sons daughters non-binary offspring

aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbors mechanics hairdressers doctors, lawyers, accountants, sheet metal workers yeah

I mean we could do it in two seconds because all of a sudden my mind turned backward to that time when he said well what's the point of that than nuclear weapons if you can't use them and is so utterly fucked up and wanted to see one used so badly they wanted to nuke a hurricane and that useless useless cabinet that worthless

gang of licks spittles boot licks sycophants various and sundry criminals won't lift a finger And as I've said before, I don't trust the military top brass to do so either. I want to nuke you run now. Who are? Yes, sir. Snaps a salute and boom goes the dynamite. God almighty. Well, I don't disagree with you, Cynthia. Trump is a pile of shit.

Peace is too small, she says, and absolutely Trump is a rat fucking pile of shit. and from gino i i fear you are correct dear friend clinton are we at the it depends on what the meaning of imminent is stage of the proceedings yeah unfortunately we are and america got and america was far more engaged in the great cleanest hunt than we are in the idea of standing on the brink of a nuclear holocaust. I'm just curious. Has the Union of Concerned Scientists who maintain the doomsday clock, have they changed the time settings as a result of all of this madness?

And if they haven't, why not? But yeah, Gina, that's for you. And Ralph's you're right. Yeah, Trump is Jack D. Ripper. The ice cream, man, Drake. Fluoride. and little children's ice cream the crazy is

stunning and by the way he's still we had a piece of this clip a moment ago but we didn't have the whole thing he's still stuck on the word excursion because he heard incursion and his drug and perhaps spirochete-addled brain

doesn't know the difference remember the clip earlier from the beginning of the program where he talked about the do oh it's the bullet and the atomic scientist uh thank you ralps serving as the do horn ad hoc doomsday clock um research committee and i guess the atomic scientists are more on top of things than perhaps i knew or suspected because on january the 27th of this year They moved it to 85 seconds to midnight and issued a statement. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is a publication founded by Manhattan Project scientists.

They understood that the technology that they had just created, the new age that they had really started, would necessitate a broad public conversation about the military, political, scientific, ethical issues that this new technology had created. had created. And so, with that, they said, it is now 85 seconds to midnight. A year ago, we warned that the world was perilously close to global disaster and that any delay in reversing course increased the probability of catastrophe. Rather than heed this warning, Russia, China, the United States, and other major countries have instead become increasingly aggressive, adversarial, and nationalistic.

Hard-won global understandings are collapsed. accelerating a winner takes all great power competition and undermining the international cooperation critical to reducing the risks of nuclear war climate change the misuse of biotechnology the potential threat of artificial intelligence and other apocalyptic dangers yeah it's going to be great when the ais are in charge of when to launch the nukes isn't it far too many leaders have grown complacent and indifferent in many cases adopting rhetoric and policies that accelerate rather than mitigate these existential risks. Because of this failure of leadership, the bulletin of the atomic scientists,

Science and Security Board, today, January 26th, 2026 sets the doomsday clock at 85 seconds to midnight, the closest it has ever been to catastrophe. Thanks, Ralphs. From George and Corskell, Dimwit Donnie. I heard a reference to Moscow. media openly laughing at Trump. Any Kremlin watchers or Russian language speakers out in the audience who can confirm? I imagine folks are going to work even as I read that. George, good question. Thank you.

Stephen New York says imminent. We might have another North Korea. Isn't that the definition of not imminent? Yeah. Then, well, I mean, if we had another North Korea, we couldn't push them around. and bomb them at will and try to whip the American people into a homicidal frenzy because, well, that would fuck up the neighborhood, something fierce. But like I said, in response to the question about, and we had the clip a moment ago, in response to the question about whether we would have boots on the ground, et cetera, Jesus Christ, he's so stupid. on the one hand he said, I'm not going to tell you.

And then he told the reporter. Unlike NATO. Please. Mr. President, do you intend to lift sanctions on Iranian oil? And do you intend to potentially put U.S. troops or more troops in the region? No, I'm not putting troops anywhere. If I were, I certainly wouldn't tell you. But I'm not putting troops.

They're already on the way. Do whatever is necessary to keep the price as well. I actually thought when I did this, look, the Dow just hit $50,000 a couple of weeks ago. They said that couldn't happen for four years. It wouldn't happen in my term. It's such an outrageous thing because I said it would happen. I didn't know it was going to happen that fast. But it just hit $50,000.

And we did that in one year, not four. S&P had just hit $7,000. They said that was even more. impossible than the Dow hitting 50. And we did that in one year. So it was all done. Everything was going great. The economy was great. Oil prices were very low. Gasoline was

dropping to $1.99, $1.85. We had great everything. And I saw all was happening. We had great everything. What? His goons were murdering people in the streets. We had great everything. His goons

were kidnapping people without any judicial justification or restraint. It would grade everything. I mean, really. If you had a loved one who was talking this way, wouldn't you have a quiet little chat with the other members of your family and say, hey, I think we better get Uncle. grumpy to the geriatric neurologist, he's not okay. Those are tragic conversations, heartbreaking conversations, but they take place in America and all around the world every day. And the one place that conversation desperately needs to be had is within his licksbiddle cabinet, and they aren't doing it.

generals aren't the admirals aren't uh that religious maniac and drunk or dry drunk whiskey pete kegbreath isn't neither is linda mcmahon who's much more concerned about the well the sexual predator suits against her for looking the other way while wwee employees were sexually preyed upon. Krusty the nasty Nazi gnome and sex pest Corey Lewandowski are nowhere to be found, and she's not in the cabinet anymore. Jojo Blondie threw a hissy fit yesterday in a closed-door meeting with house oversight. So she's not going to, no, there's nobody.

Little Marco Rubio? He'd squash little Marco Rubio. be oh like a bug and marco couldn't even run away because his shoes are too big the jade egg well jimmy dick bowman or whatever they're calling themselves these days doesn't want to lift a finger until at least january the 21st twenty twenty twenty seven toward the end of the program yesterday we talked about that being alluded to by old serpent head himself james carville i never thought i would see the when I would say at least during the first administration, no, but here we are, at least during the first Trump maladministration, you had people like Elaine Chow and Bill Barta prosecution,

who almost had a 25th Amendment conversation, but then decided that they would, instead of going for one last spin of the wheel, they would take their winning. and go home. And so, you know, barring Mother Nature taking a hand, one wonders how we survive all of this. But anyway, back to giving away the war plans. I ran and I said, I hate to make this excursion, but we're going to have to do it. And I actually thought the numbers would be worse. I thought that it would go up more than it did.

But we're doing this excuse. Wait, hold the fuck on. I thought the numbers would go up more than they did, but they didn't. So that just shows you what a great businessman I am. You don't know how bad it could be. That's how great I am. It could be really a lot worse. Gas could already be $5 a gallon.

But thanks to me, it's only $3.80. That's a dollar and $20 a gallon of genius that's entirely me. Is there any... and when it's completed, we're going to have a much safer world. And the prime minister agrees with me, and then she considers it to be terrible what Iran did. I think every country does. Just about every country does. Iran is a serious threat to the world. To the Middle East. Hey, shithead. That madman with a bomb, Kim Jong-bad golf pants?

He has a missile that he can put a nuclear tip on that'll reach Japan. So I might be a little careful about talking about how much the Japanese prime minister agrees with you. Police into the world, and everybody agrees with me. I think virtually every country agrees with me on that. So he had to throw that virtually in there because the UK doesn't agree with him. France certainly doesn't agree with him. Emmanuel Macron the other day saying France will chart its own course and we will be entirely independent of any of these machinations.

I wanted to put out that fire and I said, you know, we do that. Oil prices will go up, the economy will go down a little bit. I thought it would be worse, much worse, actually. I thought there was a chance to be much worse. It's not bad. And it's going to be over with it. You're not there yet. Dumbass.

Pretty soon. We've obliterated the Navy. We've obliterated their just about everything there is to obliterate, including leadership. The Navy's gone. Their Air Force is gone. Their anti-aircraft equipment is gone. We're flying wherever we want.

Pete. We have nobody even shooting at us. They have... You shit for brains? They're not shooting at us because there are much more valuable targets out there. Like other country's oil installations?

Or shooting at the people who get in bed and wallow around with you, you syphilitic old fool? I mean, and as you know, their leadership is gone. Their leaders are gone. Their leaders are gone, except for the one

who's now the head Ayatollah, he's not gone. But he's gay. They pick new leaders, they're gone. They pick new leaders, they're gone. And now they're looking for new leaders again we can take out the island if anytime we want I call it the little oil island that sits there so totally unprotected that we've

taken out everything but the pipes we left the pipes because to rebuild the pipes would take years for you know for them to do but we are I would say we are substantially ahead of schedule and I had to do this I had I called an excursion, I had to take this little excursion and do something that no other president had the courage to do. And everybody wanted to do it, but they never had the courage to do. And I don't blame them. I'm not blaming them. It was left to me, and we've done a great job. Our military is incredible. We have an incredible military. We have the strongest military in the world by far. We have the greatest equipment in the world by far. In fact, Japan buys our equipment

buys a lot of it. And we're... to go and play in the fields of history earlier. Who had the most powerful militaries in the world in 1939? Anybody? Yeah. How long did that last? Not that long, relatively speaking. I'm honored by that.

And that's one of the things we'll be talking. They want to buy a lot of the military equipment. So it's just an honor to have the prime minister. We've had a tremendous relation. So to recap, I'm not going to tell you what our secret plans are because they're secret. And our secret plan is we're going to invade that little island of theirs. I'm by no means a military strategist. But if you wanted to occupy Karg Island,

Harg Island, I understand the K is silent. You might want to do it with, oh, say, 5,000 Marines. But I don't know about the range of things like our helicopters that deliver Marines to various sites. But can you keep the USS Tripoli out of the Straits? of Hormuz? Can you transit the Straits of Hormuz with the USS Tripoli and not expect to get return fire? Because sooner or later, you got to get the Marines to Harg Island. You think maybe, and again, the danger of assuming that your enemy is just crazy. Well, I mean, they've got to be crazy because if they weren't crazy, well, they'd be crazy. Well, they'd be crazy. Well, they'd be crazy.

Christians like us, right? But they're crazy. The problem with assuming that is that with that assumption comes the hubristic notion that. And he said it there, that we can act with impunity. I don't think we're there yet. Do you? We don't have any unsinkable Navy vessels. And well, if nitwit Nero is, teleghing hard island and he's not swift enough to do like a head fagging oh we're going through hugh greg island and then land a bunch of marines in downtown tehran 5,000 Marines are not enough for downtown tehran no i hope it doesn't turn out this way but you know we have had our moments in history of making grave miscalculations about the capabilities of a enemy. A little big horn comes to mind. Then there's always the Iraq war will pay for itself and American truth will be greeted as liberators in Iraq. Funny, the Iraqis didn't show up to put daisies in our machine gun muzzles. They just killed a bunch of us instead. And the ones who weren't

killed came back with horrifying injuries and perhaps more horrifying PTSD and this might be a good time to note that we have a really, really serious problem with veterans and suicide. And I think that's because when you ask our military to go and fight unjust wars of choice, the chickens tend to come home to roost not on the people who started the war but on the soldiers who prosecuted it and the nightmares that follow horrors and the terrors

not trying to fearmonger I think this is just a fearful time and this is Thursday and we have a weekend coming up and do you remember last Friday on the front porch when they boasted about having attacked Harg Island and now he feels like he's got to put boots on the ground there apparently all that our air power didn't uh didn't get the job done so i don't know

if it was general raisin or one of the other salute snappers but someone has convinced him maybe it's whiskey pete or maybe it's whiskey pete's weirdo preacher from idaho there's no way of knowing or maybe it's what what's their name um paula to go against trump is to go against god ramalama ding dong haman hamanah homana ho'mina hoa-a-a-a-ting bang i love you that yeah her but apparently there is not one sane sober individual anywhere in the executive branch who can talk sense to him anymore. As I alluded to, there's no American general calling his Chinese counterpart to say, hey, listen, if he starts talking nuclear, we're not, it's not going to happen.

He's nuts, and we know it, you know it, everybody knows it. Here's another scenario to ponder. If that all went down, would they keep the JD egg in the dark? if nitwit Nero decided to push the button. Because, you know, Jimmy Dick Bowman's previous statements on not wasting the lives of America's most precious resource, our soldiery.

Well, those clips are playing everywhere lately. Would the possibility be, the imminent possibility of Geeseer disgust us using a nuclear first strike? Would that be enough? to make Jimmy Dick invoke, what is it, Section 4 of the 25th Amendment? I mean, it's complicated. But somewhere in the archives of this program, Todd and I in multiple conversations,

well, we deconstructed it pretty well, I thought. Yeah, it's a damnedest thing. Like virtually everyone listening to this program, we grew up during some or the entirety of the Cold War. Some, older than I, went through the duck and cover drills. I remember managing the properties loft

at the University of Alabama in the theater department, and my job was to sign out costumes and, you know, props and set pieces and whatnot. And that just happened to be in the attic of the theater building where sat barrel after barrel after barrel after barrel for decontaminating water with lots, I think there were iodine tablets,

and there were literally dust everywhere, but you could read, you could, you could, you could, you could read the nuclear Holocaust information packets, and it could get pretty dull up in the property's loft, and I did. But most of us grew up during all or part, of the Cold War and with the possible exception of the Cuban Missile Crisis, you know, every time that term comes up, I think, my mother, because she was six months pregnant with me when that happened. And being as we were about 72 miles due west of Huntsville in the Redstone Arsenal, not to mention being about 18 miles due west of the single largest nuclear reactor in the in the world at the time brown's ferry everybody knew exactly what the hell

was going on everybody was glued to the tv and i only came to that realization after my mother had died and and i really i really wish i had thought about it before because i would have liked to have asked her mom what was that like but i know i got a pretty good idea what her answer would have been she would have said well i just put my trust in the lord but here we are speaking to the lord here we are in the year of our this year of our lord two thousand twenty six and there are mamas carrying babies all over this country and all over the world wondering wondering will my baby get to grow up or will that vulgar man man in the whore i mean white house get us all killed and we're approaching the halfway point of

the program maybe more than the halfway point victoria is at work and program note um when she lets me know that uh she's done um i will uh go and pick her up that may necessitate ending the program a little bit early program note um i will not be here on tuesday the 24th um victoria and i are time to go and see a little bit of live music not too awfully far from here we don't do that very often so I beg your kind indulgence in that regard but as we are approaching the halfway mark of the program I should note that we are still at 1225 1,225 dollars is our deficit and after the heroic efforts of last week week. I am loathe to press it, but we do need to at least keep up. And again, $25 bucks finishes off

last Friday before tomorrow, Friday on the front porch comes around. And Ralph's offered up a $25 challenge. Thank you, Ralph's. For Donnie being stupid enough to mention Pearl Harbor to the Japanese prime minister, as well as for a cartoon. Today's cartoon by Mike Lukovic, the great editorial cartoonist. It shows Nitwit Niro sitting around a table with some salute snap in general. And we see the back of some salute snap in Admiral. And on the right side of the frame is Whiskey Pete Kegbreath, Gaffaw. with the unconsumed portion of a bottle of liquor sticking out of his suit coat.

Luckovich titled at War Planning Meeting, and the speech bubble coming from the salute snap in general said, next time let's have one of these before we attack. That right there is a classic case of your gallows humor. Thank you, Ralphs. So we will get down to 1175 if somebody kicks in 25 bucks. And thank you in advance if you do. Thank you so very much indeed. Yeah, let's have one of these before we attack because it's pretty clear we didn't. 85 seconds to midnight.

Leah, New York notes, Unfortunately, many young people cannot read a clock with hands if we told them the doomsday clock read 1158-35. would they get that midnight is bad now now lee let's not goon on the younger generation wait that doesn't mean what it used to be sorry um let's not be hypercritical of the younger generation but that is weird we're not installing clocks with hands anymore well you know we kind of gave up on sundials too let's not be crotchety about things well thanks randy radar randy says sorry my russian is way too rusty to be of use. Jeremy,

meanwhile, says the numbers. No, no, Ron. He's saying the quiet part out loud. He knows they're lying to us about the death in our ranks. It's much, much higher than 12. Add a couple of zeros to that,

and you won't be too far off, according to much of the UK news sources. Yeah. I thought it was going to be worse than it was. And so that's the word. Okay, I get that. But he referenced. the Dow and the S&P 500 and gas prices.

Yeah. He hates the excursion. Lee in New York says, if only he'd gone on a three-hour tour, a three-hour tour. If they could survive Gilligan's mistakes and Mr. Howell being rich and little help, at least the rest of us would be better off,

signed Lee, not on Gilligan's Island. And a separate topic from Kevin in Massachusetts. Hi, Kevin. data center West Virginia's been sold out to the data center racket by our carpet bagging failure of a governor Jersey Pat Morrissey

who went all in for them as the center of his economic plan for the state oh I know and the state legislature which features a GOP supermajority which is essentially a wholly owned Cook Brothers subsidiary via Americans for prosperity yeah

data centers for thee but not for me yeah clean water Well, coal industry took most of that away. So we'll let the data centers have what's left. But of course, here in almost level West by coal, Trump, Juniastand, you can't use your EBT benefits to buy a bottle of pop anymore. I guess coal slurry it is. I understand, Tamara.

I understand. I'm here lashed to the mast. and unfortunately unlike Odysseus's crew y'all don't have beeswax in your ears couldn't take it anymore rarely do i have to just check out all together but i couldn't take any more that horrid fool blabbering his vile nonsense i'll catch up later horn fam i thought i might lose my mind no the feeling um regarding it's not as bad as i said brother deacon the camel cardinal Asa says, I believe Julius Sleaser when he says this will all be over soon. He already predicted this in his first dumpster fire.

This will all be over when the weather warms up long about April. The dictatorship in Iran is very susceptible to high temperatures. True story. I don't know quite how to read that, Aza. Is he going to use a chemical weapon? Is he going to bomb Iran with COVID? What a mighty. It could be over in two seconds.

What a day. Yes, I know. Randy Radar, I said that the clock was set 85 seconds to midnight on January 26, 2026. Randy said it's old news, but relevant. Yeah, that's why I gave the date that they did it. I'm just surprised that they haven't moved it a little forward. But then again, maybe the bulletin of the atomic scientist doesn't want to give me any ideas. He'd think it was an endorsement.

It's a nature of would. I win it all, and it goes to midnight. Well, is there any good to come out of this? Well, Maga's falling apart at the seams. That greasy, unbathed man who looks like rancid hot dog water smells had a conversation with a maggot author by the name of Brandon Weikert. And he told Stevie Three Shirts that things aren't as going as well. in Iran as we are being led to believe. And in this case, he might actually be right. I remember once,

I knew a man, his name was Herr Se. And he once showed me photographs. He was a veteran of the Wehrmacht on the eastern front. He was actually a member of the Herman Gehring division. He came to America after the war and became an insurance salesman and lived to a great age. But he showed me his photographs. And the photographs he showed me were from the early days of Operation Barbarossa when Nazi Germany invaded Russia. And he showed me one photo and he said, do you see all those tiny black spots in the distance there? Those are all people. those are all prisoners of war that they had captured.

Those was the good days. Son then and nephew then of men who had fought and died trying to stop him and his. I said, well, not so good for them, huh? No, and later on not so good for us. So the maggots are saying things aren't going well, and he's saying it to stevie three shirts

well let me let me reclaim my time director come on do you know why Israel decided to strike that infrastructure despite the fact that the president said it should be off limits I wouldn't I wouldn't speak for Israel and what do you guys know we're at war what do you guys know

and by the way the guy speaking is John Ratcliffe what does he know? No. We'll have to take that for the record. Yes. Okay. Like I said, regardless of how we got in here

and we can debate that, and I'm sure that even in the next couple days are coming up, we are where we are. We have to win, right? Now, the definition of that victory as for the President of the United States, but the President of the United States gave a very clear order

out to the public, to the country, to everybody, that Iranian infrastructure, oil infrastructure was not to be hit. These gas fields were hit deliberately. He said that he put out this true social that couldn't be more searing. Of course, he put the Iranians on notice too. You hit Qatar again. It's going to be the end of you. Brandon Weikert, I know we got a broader picture to talk about the center of gravity of this war. And the objectives are very precise, but the objectives are very tied to Tehran in Iran. Now we're in the Persian Gulf, straight her moves, Red Sea, all of it, and it's rattling whether you like it or not, whether you support President Trump or not, the reality is Brent Crude went up to 119s, back to 110, but even in 110,

it's rattling the world's economy and President Trump's economic plan. Your thoughts, sir? Well, I think that that committee hearing was stunning. I've never seen anything like it, really ever. Clearly, there is a severe breakdown in communication, not only between the U.S. and its purported allies in the region, but also between within the administration itself. And I would encourage everybody in the administration get on the same page now, because this is not going well. The American people do not understand what's going on. And a committee briefing like that only makes it worse. And then you add in these high prices. Hang on one second, but this, hang on, but this is where Centcom and the chairman, and today in his briefing, on the indices, you know, the nuclear program, the missile ballistic missile program, the industrial infrastructure, and they keep saying to project power, not internally anymore, but against neighbors like Israel and the Gulf, we're methodically going down.

I also want the audience to understand, Pete's pretty blunt. every day it's ratcheted up it's getting more intense every day today's going to be more intense than yesterday yesterday was more intense than the other day now the sorties are going to get to what well that almost like sounds like something we've been saying for years we said it during the first maladministration and then we started saying it again on january 20th 20 25 no matter how weird today is tomorrow will be weirder and no matter how much weirder tomorrow is the next day will be weirder still. Hey, I give this program away for free, Steve. But not to you, you dick. 10 or 15,000. And you're just grinding this. But that doesn't really seem like it's to the heart of what this problem is today, what the problem is now, does it?

No, it does not. And furthermore, whatever the Pentagon and Centcom and the Intel community is saying publicly, behind the scenes, the Iranians are still popping these missiles. off. You just had, I texted you shortly a while ago, that the Qatari's are saying they're going to be doing force majeure on five-year contracts, which means they're going to be turning the spigot off because they can't reliably produce oil given what's going on. You have the Saudis now, and you can talk more about this with bowling, but the Saudis announced they're selling off their gold assets now to try to fund their operations going forward because it's getting so bad. So the Iranians are still in this fight, and the Iranians are still affecting a very effective... Uh-oh.

Marcus Horalius might not want to get on the wrong side of Mohammed bin Bonesaw, because Mohammed bin Bonesaw doesn't have any compulsion or compunction against ordering extrajudicial killings. and of course by assassinating the Ayatollah nitwit Nero put a target on his own back and he did so by violating longstanding both laws, executive orders

and rules of civilized society oh well a strategy of going after the center of gravity as you and I noted last week which is the economies of the region. And you asked about Israel. And I would just say that I don't think we have any idea who is running Israel right now.

I have seen no confirmation as to whether or not Netanyahu is still alive or in command. I have seen no confirmation that anyone has succeeded him. I've been hearing rumors from people. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. That can't be the Internet slop that says he's an AI figure or anything like that. It's got to be more definitive. clearly the command structure would give some indication if the commander-in-chief of the

mess in Israel right now. It's a mess in Israel right now. I've heard that the IDF is basic. Hang on. Besides Internet slop. Uh-oh. This little dweeb talking to the man who looks like rancid hot dog water smells, Brandon Weikert has gotten sideways of.

Well, Stevie three shirts, because Stevie three shirts doesn't want to hear anything about BB may be singing with the bleeding choir eternal. I don't know if he qualifies. Or perhaps being part of the pineapple patrol in the bad place. He was rather desperate to cut him off, wasn't he? Hold on. Wait a minute. This isn't that internet slop. Why do you say that? Well, because the entire Israeli system seems to be in confusion.

You have people protesting in Tel Aviv. They're not getting water. They can't seem to get the resources to putting out fires that they need. There is clearly a problem right now. And then also you have these intelligence failures going on in Lebanon with Mossad, where they're blowing up targets that are clearly not military, and I think it's not all because they're trying to hurt people. I think they're operating off of bad intelligence because Mossad's capabilities have been degraded.

Or maybe they're targeting people with AI again because we know they did that in Gaza. Well, given the President of the United States that we talked about, the center of this war, the flip in this war was a Saturday night bombing of the oil facilities that turned into a firestorm in Tehran. That Trump did not want us to do, and the Israelis to do. And it was furious after that, right? He put it on notice.

No more, we've got to have some incentive for these people to overthrow the... Yeah, but here's the problem. We now know that while Niro bitterly complained that he... The United States had no part of the attack on that Parsley-Lapia, gaspies, no, we didn't want to do... I told them not to do that. It turns out the United States military was actively engaged in helping our partners in peace, the Israelis, with the targeting. Oops. Somebody snapped the wrong salute and gave the wrong hoo-a.

Credited demons. Part of that is that they're going to actually have some sort of economy efforts. What possessed? What do we know now? Because they're saying President Trump, listen, folks, the fight on this thing is that they're saying, Trump actually signed off on the bombing of the joint oil and gas field. I just don't think in a million years that President Trump would sign off on that. What are the Israelis saying? Well, you sad, simple son of a bitch, poor Stevie three shirts want so badly to be back

inside the walls of the White House, inside the West Wing, giving, you. It gives you. giving geyser disgust us, his brilliant analysis, and he doesn't understand that he doesn't want to be there, that nitwit Nero is far more gone than he ever was in the first maladministration. Their incentive or why did they want to go after that, that gas fuel, that is sensible to the Qatar economy. They want the, not only do they want Iran to be collapsed, like a Libya model, but they also want the surrounding Arab states to be weakened as well because they want the Greater Israel Project,

which is clearly at hand here, at least in their minds. Now, they've been getting slammed, but they're trying desperately to keep that viable. So they're going to keep goosing this thing. And we saw implications of this or hints of this in the Joe Kent resignation letter a couple days. Yeah, hold on, because this is funny. The crawler underneath this little dweeb says,

Estonia says it is ready to talk with U.S. about lending help in the Straits of Hormuz. I mean, bless your heart, Estonia. But I think before I did that, I'd be keeping a close watch on my border because the minute you turn your back, Pudi's going to be in your living room. Days ago where he explicitly said that the Israelis are basically manipulating us into a war. the Israelis are on the ground, so they're able to do more, even more than we are, in terms of kind of pushing this thing every day further down the line. But for such a dramatic, for such a dramatic, and I'm sure more details are going to come out of it. That is a very bold thing to say.

I've been someone that's saying, hey, we've got to look into this, right? We've got to get to the bottom of this. But there weren't a lot of receipts last night when Joe went on Tucker. there was some general conversation, but if you make that charge, and particularly that the President of the United States who's had your back before in your congressional campaigns and that you've, and then selected you for one of the most important jobs in the United States government and had your back, you have to have more specifics. And I realize a lot of this is classified, but we still haven't gotten down to showing the receipt. You agree.

That's the problem. That we haven't shown the receipts on that. I stand with Joe Kent. I don't have any questions for Joe whatsoever. I'm completely behind him. I think that he is the most iconic war hero of the global war on terror generation. I have nothing negative. I understand that. Hang on. Hang on. I'm not, hang on. This show and me personally have been the biggest backer of Joe Kent. No, I know. Oh, Jesus, we're going to get into a battle over who loves Joe Kent more. Dude, I mean, look, two things can be true at the same time. Dude's a Nazi, Joe Kent. had no business in that job, but it's possible he could also be right about what he said in terms of what this is doing to the country.

Because, see, if your Joe Kent, you were, oh, you were, you were, you were, you were so close to be able to just being able to just sing a rousing chorus of the horse vessel lead. you were so close to achieving your your fascist wonderland domestically you were so close to singing the future beyond belongs to us and now it's all going up in flames and the flames may be burning in Iran but it's the maggots who are getting scorched at home because the whole thing is going to peace

And, uh, yeah, Reverbo, sure, absolutely. Well, of course not. Why would anyone have thought Trump would appoint anyone reasonable to positions in his administration? And here's Mark Wayne, just waiting to be confirmed. Yet another maga shithead. You're right, Reverbo. You're right. But since the, little neo-maxie zoom dwebe mentioned Lebanon and Israel slaughtering civilians there, here's a statistic Israel has killed or wounded classrooms worth of children every day in Lebanon the peace comes from truth out Israel has forcibly displaced 350,000 children from their homes in southern Lebanon since March 2nd. the story is accompanied by a photograph from Getty images a child searches for kitchen tools inside the debris of a building that has collapsed after an IDF airstrike on March 18th, 2026 in Beirut, Lebanon.

According to the UN Children's Agency, Israeli forces have killed or wounded the equivalent of a classroom's worth of children every day in Lebanon in the past two weeks. since Israel attacked Lebanon. And by the way, the Lebanese military was doing a pretty good job of keeping Hezbollah and check. But since they started after Lebanon again in March on March the 2nd, Israeli strikes have killed at least 111 children and wounded 334. That according to Ted Chabin, UNICEF's deputy executive director speaking to Reuters. The Lebanese health ministry says 968 people have been killed in Lebanon in the past weeks. Yeah.

And on Wednesday, Israel carried out a wave of attacks overnight, including a strike that collapsed a 10-story apartment building in Bashura, a neighborhood in the heart of Beirut. They said that soldiers struck two bridges over the Latani River on Wednesday, cutting off key crossing points connecting southern Lebanon to the rest of the country. And they said earlier this week, Israel did, that they're expanding their ground invasion there. Israeli defense minister and war criminal Israel Cats stated that the goal is that hundreds of thousands of residents of southern Lebanon will not return to their homes until northern Israel is safe. I don't think a lot of those people are going to return even if Israel is safe because they got fucking murdered.

And another Israeli official said, we're going to invade southern Lebanon and we're going to do what we did in Gaza. Oh, goody, more genocide. And back in November 2024, because, you know, I guess we don't pay that much attention to it. Israeli government agreed to a ceasefire. But since November 2024 have continued to violate the ceasefire thousands of times, even though Hezbollah only launched rockets and drones for the first time and over a year on March the second, you know, when Bibi and dipshit Dominion started this war. The ones who have survived a million people in Lebanon have been forcibly displaced.

That's one in five people in the country, including 350. thousand children the Lebanese children who are dead are part of a larger number 1,200 killed across the region the greater Middle East in recent weeks according to Reuters UNICEF deputy director Chabin said children have paid a terrible price and this past Sunday is really well the IDF murdered two little boys aged 5 and 6. Their crime being in their family car in the occupied West Bank. The IDF opened fire on the car without warning and without provocation.

The little boy's parents were killed too. Two brothers, aged 8 and 11, survived. well I wonder how they're going to feel when they grow up I wonder if they're going to have a I don't know a sense of purpose

and when they shot up the car the IDF refused for a half an hour to let paramedics reach the family and render aid they also brutalized one of the surviving children while they waited for medical help

our partners in peace sickening isn't it and uh carl with a note weather i notice west virginia's starting to warm up i can't believe it's already a hundred and two here in phoenix and it's only march it was warm enough not to need the heavy coat today

uh from cynthia bevy and flowers i may need another bottle of champagne of interest, Cynthia notes, General Friedrich Paulus, commander of the German 6th Army after he surrendered to the Soviets, led an effort under the National Committee to Free Germany, encouraging German soldiers to abandon Hitler and oppose him. And to be sure, it's not that I want a military coup here, but I would sure love to see a mess of our generals, retired or not, speak out in opposition to Trump and his illegal war, if only.

Well, the retired ones are, Cynthia. And unfortunately, They're mostly drowned out in the insane cacophony coming out of the Pentagon as it is presently constituted. And from Lee in New York, an old observation about Israel. God led Jews through the desert for 40 years and gave them the only land in the Middle East without oil. Yeah, thanks for that. But don't they have some offshore platforms now that they laid claim to? I mean, it's nothing compared to the ones who do have oil, but yeah.

Thanks for nothing, Yahweh. Where else? What else? Well, by the way, this is a conversation radio program if you'd like. I've been Phil Rockstering for a couple of hours. And if you've got something on your mind, feel free to share it.

It shows nitwit Nero wearing a Vietnam-era combat helmet backwards with a, well, with some rifle ammo in the elastic strap. The reckless campaign against Iran will weaken America's president that will make him angry. Be warned, he makes a very bad loser. Operation Blind Fury. I hope I'm wrong. But he becomes more. dangerous the more cornered he is and from cynthia drowned out no wonder i'm not hearing about it not to mention that sometimes the news is all so distressed that i have to walk away from it at times

for my own sanity yeah yeah odysia remains lashed to the mast and from micah more like operation epic fuck up operation epstein furry And by the way, speaking of Jeffrey Epstein, we now know that Epstein was involved, I guess, we can say, or connected to a boarding school for troubled girls. This goes back to 2018 when a woman named Anne Rodriguez was searching for a boarding school for her daughter. and about a year before Epstein would die, Anne Rodriguez, who was described in the Epstein files as his island manager, well, she sent Epstein a list of five schools and asked him where she should put her teenage daughter. One of those schools was Wings of Faith Academy,

the private Christian boarding school for troubled girls in southwest Missouri. Epstein replied promptly. Check them out with comments, etc. Lakeland, Orlando, Missouri. First, you know, he was barely, quite illiterate, really. But it turns out Wings of Faith is part of a Missouri network of boarding schools that for years have faced allegations of abuse and even the good God-fearing-up standing Bible believe in Christ-centered evil, jellical, gundominalist, Samo,

sexual, Christian, Magazine, Missouri thought it was bad enough that they said, maybe we need some oversight. Former students there have said that they were subjected to physical and psychological abuse. It had a brother school called Agape Ranch. It became infamous in Missouri and was described as a pipeline of private boarding schools, rife with complaints. A lawyer in Kansas City by the name of Ryan Fraser said, the troubled teen industry is a hotbed of abuse.

I'm not surprised to see a Missouri boarding school in this context. He said that in a conversation and interviewed by the Independent. And Mr. Frazier's law firm has been involved in about 70 different cases against Agape Ranch, noting our state is a target for these facilities because of the lack of oversight. Wings of Faith Academy, meanwhile, to whom Anna Rodriguez considered sending her daughter, well they shuddered in 2022 for quote unquote health reasons one little girl Jordan Evans 15 years old in 2016 said she was taken out of her room by a man she didn't know she said the transporter took me out of bed early in the morning he carried a little paper that claimed he had legal guardianship and said that my mom was following in another car behind ours i thought it was dreaming so i

didn't ask so many questions. She had been at one school, but no, this wound up with her being transported to Wings of Faith Academy. Her friends, her teachers at the other school had no idea where she'd been taken. Her Ukrainian father didn't find out about it for months. And, of course, they were a Christian fascist organization, militaristic. Jordan Evans said there was a color system, so if you were cheating, you had to wear a green shirt and didn't get as much food or water as everyone else, and you had to make a much food. memorize more scripture.

Yellow meant more severe rationing, and gray was awful. I was put on gray when I first got there because I tried to run away. She got caught again because she was injured by barbed wire. I sliced my leg and my hands opened pretty good. When I got back to the school, they made me stripped down and hosed me off. They made me pour alcohol all over. As punishment, she had to face the wall all day. and could only have one small water bottle that she was allowed to fill once in the morning.

They put me on flip-flop status so that it was harder to run away. You know, when you injure your foot and they put that boot on you, I had to wear one of those. It was run by a pair of gospel sharps. Percy Bud Martin II and Debbie Martin. According to the Kansas City Star, they got their start in Tennisan, but they jumped ship a couple of times, eventually setting up in Missouri and had multiple name changes. Yeah, check out the Missouri school, says Jeffrey Epstein.

You know, here in West Virginia and other states as well, there's a crisis in foster care. We can't find a lot of children who were taken out of abusive homes. put into a foster care system that promptly lost them well it turns out that a lot of the children going to these troubled youth boarding schools were foster kids uh jordan evans said i got caught sharing my bras with another girl whose parents weren't sending her clothes so they just took all of my bras she was there for six months and it was six months of torture there was a 14-year-old girl named mollie who had a learning disability she would have she would have outbursts and night terrors and so the staff would force her to do jumping jacks for hours and hours.

During church services, the boys and girls would exchange notes, but they weren't the kind of notes that teenage boys and girls exchanged and said it was the boys sending notes to the girls saying, we're being tortured over here. They threaten us with physical violence if we don't do the manual labor they assign us. Colton Shrag was a student at Agape and said, staff members would slam you on the ground, slam you into walls, pick you up by the collar, and just slam you around. Staff members would jump on you if you resisted any. They would start

kneeing you, hitting you, just mashing your face into the tile or concrete, whatever it was. In the name of Jesus. Everywhere the name Epstein pops up, horror is always there. And then there's an unredacted email that was exposed on the house floor today. Dan Goldman was the one who brought it to light. And it had to do with a telephone conference, the email did, that involved Nitwit Niro, his attorney, Alan Garten, and a person presumed to be Brad Edwards. And Brad Edwards was a lawyer for some of Epstein's survivors.

Newit Niro's lawyer answered a question from Epstein's putty fogger Jack Goldberger. The thing was substantially redacted by the DOJ, of course. Goes back to 2009. At one point, Garten, lawyer for Trump, was asked whether Jeffrey Epstein, was ever expelled from Maga Loco. You'll recall that Nero has said that... I threw him out because he was poaching my girls. He was gross.

Well, when Garten got the question, he said, No, Epstein was not a member. May have been his guest, never asked to leave. And meanwhile, a manager at Magaloko said, Epstein was never asked to leave Mar-a-Lago. They asked Nitwit Niro about whether he had been on Epstein's plane. I've been on a lot of planes. May have been on his plane.

No young girls on plane. I may have been there with my wife. May have been children of gas, but that's it. Talking about Epstein's home. Of course, far more recently than 2009, Caroline Real Pooh-Poo, leave it alone. He said, President Trump did nothing wrong, and he kicked after he Epstein. out of Marilago for being a creep, and he was never on his plane.

Well, that's all gone now. You know, when the time comes and people like Caroline Real Pooh-Poo leave it alone are called to account if that time ever comes, one wonders how she'll try to talk her way out of it. I was only following orders. Jesus told me to lie for him. In speaking on the house floor, Dan Goldman said, Trump made false statements over the past quarter century about Jeffrey Epstein, and then he went after Jojo Blondie, saying the reason why this matters is because we don't have half of the Epstein files. We identified six million Epstein files for potential release, but they've only disclosed about three and a half million.

And then he went in for the coup de grace. If the attorney general is covering up this information that she then reveals to Congress, what else is she covering up about Donald Trump's involvement in the Epstein? files. At least at press time, the White House had remained as quiet, as silent, as a graven image. Something else took place in D.C. today. Epstein's lawyer and the co-executor of his estate, Darren Indyke, went behind closed doors with the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. And over and over and over against. I didn't have anything to do with his sex trafficking stuff. I didn't know what he was doing. Politico got hold of his prepared statement in which Indyke said, Let me be clear. I had no knowledge whatsoever of Jeffrey Epstein's wrongdoings. My complete lack of

involvement in that misconduct is a matter of record. Not a single woman has ever accused me of committing sexual abuse or witnessing sexual abuse, nor claimed at any time that she or anyone else reported me any allegation of Mr. Epstein's abuse. Dead women tell no tales. My primary role was to provide corporate, transactional, and general legal services to Mr. Epstein and his companies, and I did so. Those companies were not exactly as pure as the driven snow. a claim to have cooperated with the DOJ

and said that he helped create the Epstein Victims' Compensation Program. That I did not know what my client did in his private life may be difficult for some to believe, but it is true. Because that was how Jeffrey Epstein roped everyone in and maintained control over them. Blackmail. Oh, and Cynthia says, Pam Blondie probably wishes she could have been molested by Trump is a young girl, dollars to donuts.

Maybe she was. But then again, she's, let's see, running the numbers here, Cynthia. Nitwit Nero was 19 when she was born. So that would have, let's see, she's 60, so that makes her a 1966 baby, which means that she would have started law school at that law school named after a hat, somewhere around 1988.

And of course, that's within the Epstein time frame. Oh, and just our moment of vapidness. I mentioned, I think, at the beginning of the week, that in the course of watching the Oscars on Sunday night, we saw numerous advertisements for the brand new season of the Bachelorette. Oops. ABC's pulled the plug on the new season of The Bachelorette

because the Bachelorette, Taylor Frankie Paul, apparently got in a nasty-ass fight with her ex-boyfriend, her baby daddy. By the way, they found her through Hulu's The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, video came out of her putting Dakota Mortensen in a headlock and hitting him and throwing metal chairs, one of which hit their child sitting on a sofa.

They were in a custody battle. They still are. And just this week ahead of the premiere of The Bachelorette, the domestic abuse allegations popped up. And the secret lives of Mormon wives said it was pausing production too. ABC, of course, Disney had a statement. In light of the newly released video

just surfaced today, we've made the decision to not move forward with the new season of The Bachelorette at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family. Speaking of families, well, the apple doesn't fall

far from the tree. Trigger warning, content warning. remember Josh Dugger? He's presently doing hard time for being a child rapist, a pedophile. What a sordid story that was. The Duggers, of course, come from Arkansas, where they are dear, the family is dear, dear, dear friends with the Huxterby family. I got a

I got a Sarah Hustle Buck sandbag story in the stack here too, courtesy of Routes. No, well, Josh Dugger went up the river and now his little brother is getting ready to go to, very likely.

They were members of the quiverful movement where they where men were expected to treat their wives uteruses like clown cars and the Duggers became infamous for 19 kids and counting. Hey, I mean, look, it's just statistics. If you got that many kids, a couple of them are probably going to grow up and be perverts, right?

Well, or maybe they were groomed inside one of those churches. Hmm. No, Joseph Garrett Dugger, age 31, stands charged with lewd and lascivious molestation of a victim less than 12 years old and lascivious behavior conducted by a person 18 years or older, according to the Florida Bay County Sheriff's Office. He's at present awaiting extradition to Florida to face the charges. He was arrested about 3 o'clock in the afternoon yesterday, Wednesday. The Tontie Town, Arkansas Police contacted Bay County deputies about a record of

of past sexual abuse. His victim is now all of 14 years old, and upon interview, she described numerous incidents that happened with Joseph Dugger on a family vacation to Panama City Beach, Florida, when she was nine years old. Her daddy confronted Joseph Dugger on Tuesday. and Joseph Dugger confessed to the daddy and the Tontetown detectives. The results of the interviews make fairly clear that Joseph Dugger was grooming his victim, and it went on during the entirety of this 2020 vacation, eventually molesting her. and oh my god they were pillars of christianity they were tied in with an organization a 501c3 tax-exempt grift called the institute of basic life principles i guess jose joseph dougar was just getting started because

josh douger molested four of his sisters and a babysitter and it just gets sicker and sicker and sicker because well uh jim bob douger and his wife michel said yeah we knew it was happening uh so we took him for church counseling and yeah he's in the joint for twelve and a half years josh is and it's old tax free hallelujah right oh um asa asking uh wings of faith academy wasn't that also the name of the florida pilot school where learning to land the plane was optional, asking for a friend. I don't think that was the same one, but, I mean,

I don't think you can copy, well, trademark. Don't make things more confused, Camel Cardinal. And from Gino, Utah. Utah in the news again, in such a favorable,

family-friendly light. But, you know, at least Utah. getting a break from Arkansas. And speaking of Arkansas, this is a while ago now, but does the name Red Hen raise any memories?

Does it tickle any neurons? The Red Hen was a very well-regarded restaurant in Lexington, Virginia, and at one time during the first, Trump maladministration, Sarah Hustle Buck Sandbags, otherwise known as Jethrine Bodine, decided she wanted to have a notch at that fancy restaurant down in Lexington. And she figured would it be in Lexington, Virginia, that that would be safe for her, because that's that part of Virginia where ain't nobody liberal.

Well, it turns out there were some liberals in Lexington, and they worked at the Red Hand, and, well, they were queer into the bargain. And so when she showed up to have Dendin, the staff there said, you know, you need to leave. You're filled with hate. You're a miserable human being. And you're really not welcome here. Well, it's happened again. This time, right there in Governor Sarah Hustle Buck Sandbags' own Arkansas.

Same place where the... Buggard boys committed their crimes against little girls. And Sarah's real good friends with Jim Bob and Michelle. Because she's a good Christian just like her daddy, Mike Huxterby, who endorsed the idea of Greater Israel out loud, in person, with cameras rolling. Yeah. So apparently there's a little restaurant, called the croissanterie in Little Rock, Arkansas.

And Jethrine Bodine showed up there with a couple of other moms because they ain't far from her young in school, and they was going to have some croissants. Quassant. And the staff, I guess, remembering the success of the staff at the Little Red Hen, approached her security detail. and immediately in the aftermath, Jethrine Bodine had to run over to the X

and post a big old excrement and said, Last week I was having lunch with two other moms at a restaurant when the owner approached a member of the state police executive protection detail and said, my presence made their employees feel threatened and told us to leave. Arkansasans are known for their warm hospitality, and while that restaurant didn't meet that standard,

my administration will continue to focus on lifting Arkansas's up, not tearing others down. Well, Jethrine, you were asked to leave because you're a homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, racist piece of shit. That's why. And getting the last word, Zachary Hickman at the Croissanterie, an employee there.

Apparently they all wear cute little t-shirts that say I heart croissant. And if they make a good croissant, well, that's not something easily accomplished. A lot of butter and folding and stuff that goes on with that. And so Zachary Hickman posted a picture, just a selfie of him and some of his coworkers, all of whom are smiling, said, good morning, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, tagging her. no amount of evil you send our way can ever take our smiles away i'm proud as fuck to work here i'm proud to be gay and i'm proud to be i'm proud as fuck to be in arkansas my voice matters try again that's for uh that's for zachary hickman and the croissanterie both jesus she's so awful they were persecuting me uncle jed they were persecuting me for being a christ No, they were refusing you service because you're a horrible human being that Jesus doesn't even like.

When you get to the pearly gates and you're waiting for your wings and your harp and your halo, Jesus is going to pinch your little hate off and throw it down into hell for the emson demons to use as a soccer ball. And Rush Limbaugh is going to do the play-by-play. Mm-hmm? Yes. Yeah. from Micah. Oh, get fucked, Bodine. Sarah Hucklebuck Sandbags.

I mean, really, Micah? But then again, she's a good Christian. You know, she doesn't do that sort of thing. Yeah, the, I know, Micah's. I mean, love is love, but not the Sarah Hustle Buck sandbags. There's only one way to do it, and it has to be in the dark, and everybody's got to have almost fully clothed, and it's strictly missionary position

and you're not allowed to enjoy it and you have to make a baby I know like that's like that old line well I never maybe you should and from Jude my having mentioned the cover of the economist she sent me the economist cover of the woman being assaulted

by ice goons and carried away by her hands and legs and injured and traumatized Jude said here's the photo that will be enlarged on poster board, traveling with the boots to Seattle on March 28th. The no-king stand. Take a moment to clearly view these four ice agents frighteningly carrying her. This photojournalist I need to locate and offer what a rare moment was captured.

Magazine covers, the magazines we held in our hands, a tangible wording to be placed over the personal address on cover. Donald Trump and Stephen Miller's America. Take care all. You too, Jude. And when you go to the No Kings protest, make sure you've got folks with you and you stay safe. I know, I know, I know, Emilio. Why are all the Pito's Republicans? Well, they're complicated sociological answers. Like, you know, they tend to be authoritarian, pedophiles hang out and hide in authoritarian spaces where they can use their authority to exercise undue influence. of the because they're

Republicans right and we started the program with nitwit Niro and the Japanese prime minister a little bit ago Nicole Wallace over at MS now

hauled out the hold out the I word Japan and he was a very good friend but one question why didn't you tell we can blow past this part. We heard it. It already ran off Tamara. I don't need to run off anyone else.

I struggle every minute of every day with platforming him. One, I should do it all day because it shows what a profound idiot he is. But two, we were on other sides. This is a question about why didn't you read in your allies? And he says, we didn't know what our adversary was going to do. I mean, David, from, what do you even, how's your brain doing? All right. So first, there's probably no society on earth where good manners. count for more than Japan. A country that has been, and we're talking about 80 years since the end of World War II, that has been a staunch and loyal ally of the United States for 80 years,

where the warmth of person-to-person ties. But the one big cultural difference has always been the emphasis on decorum and decency and respect and Japanese culture, whereas American culture can be a little more boisterous. For the President of the United States to insult them. Now, remember, like Nicole Wallace, David From is a former Republican. and he says, you know, the Japanese are focused on decorum, whereas we can be a little more boisterous in the United States. Boisterous is doing a lot of heavy lifting there when you consider that, well, George H.W. Bush went to Japan and yacked in the prime minister's lap. And you can watch it sort of figuring out, no one is amused by what I just said.

maybe if I say it again, it'll get more amusing the second time. And what if I say, right, right, right, and give them a little jab in the ribs? Maybe it'll be funny then. And it's just horrifying. One more thing that needs to be pointed out, in this analogy that he's drawing between the United States and Japan, who's doing the sneak attack? Oh, yeah. He's comparing the United States to the Japanese sneak attack. He wanted to do a Pearl Harbor on Greenland.

Now he wants to do a Pearl Harbor on Iran. He is comparing himself to the people of Americans normally condemn. I say it here. It comes out there. They don't think the whole thing is terribly amusing. I mean, it is consistent. I don't know why I'm still trying to push Trump through any sieve of consistency.

But it's been reported that he used to amuse all the time about how much he liked the German generals. I mean, there is an admiration for that side's tactics. Yeah. I also think it reveals him to be just a crotchy old racist that's still thinking about the Japanese in terms of World War II. You know what? Yeah, but can somebody please point out that he's that he didn't get there by accident? That as it makes so abundantly clear in the musical South Pacific, that you have to be carefully taught to be a cranky old racist,

and that he had something. You can dig this up. It can be found. It hasn't been scrubbed. He is the racist he is because his father was the racist he was. And maybe that's irrelevant to some, but it's not irrelevant to me. Because the perpetuation of racism from parent to child is why we still have racism today. Maybe someday. I mean, like those internment camps, were they really that bad?

Why don't you make a joke about Hiroshima Nagasaki? while you're at it, President Trump. I mean, it's so tasteless. It's so boorish. And it's not just these things. He's not just making that, you know, it's not just an ad hominem attack. It's also as he's asking the Japanese to do us a solid and help reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Like, what could be more insulting than bringing up World War II and the trauma that inflicted on the Japanese for generations, something that honestly, like, there's still tension over it, right? In terms of U.S. Japanese relations and what we did to the Japanese, in America. Look no further than Rachel Maddow's excellent podcast on all of this. But that we're asking them to come to our assistance and this is the best he can do. What a just shameful example of both buffoonery and racism. And my heart, I mean, I watch this me a couple of times is you look at the Japanese prime minister just trying to hold it again

together as the press corps and David's so right to point this out is just mortified into silence. You rarely hear that. You always hear the cameras. Someone's shouting another question, but it's just the room fall silent. Yeah. I mean, Paul, I guess this gets back to why the video games are the safest way for Donald Trump to communicate with anybody about the war. But specifically what she means by that video games are the safest way for nitwit and era. Yeah. She's referring to, sorry about the misgender there, Nicole, it wasn't intentional.

She's talking about the propaganda efforts by the Pentagon using video game clips to propagandize this illegal shit show. I can't help wondering. Did the suits call Nicole up and say, hey, you can't be calling him an idiot. Or has there been that much of a sea change at MS now since they split from NBC? And in fact, the weirdo videos coming out of the Pentagon actually came from the private chats of Pentagon. A former, and this goes back to what Cynthia was saying about, did the, you know, where are the retired generals? Well, Joe Votel, the O-T-E-L, was CENTCOM head under the first maladministration, and he's retired now, and he can speak freely, and he said,

I don't think the performance of our men and women in uniform requires embellishment from Hollywood or computer games. They represent the American people quite well on their own, even when they're snapping salutes and following illegal orders. retired lieutenant general ben hodges who ran was in charge of american troops in europe during the obama presidency but it just seems detached from reality our allies look at this and they wonder what the hell's going on it doesn't look like we're serious and this is all without mention of the no mercy no quarter language that whiskey pete has been using you know because he's macho and butch and he's got a well he's he's got a he's got a white supremacist tattoo on his tit no mercy means

executing prisoners you know what the nazis did at the battle of the bulge when kurt vonnegut was captured and marched off the schlachthaus wunf and so the cracks are appearing you know when when you've lost joe rogain oh that's where we are here in the middle of the third decade of the 21st century. It ain't Walter Cronkite anymore. When you've lost Roagain, you've lost the war. Oh, this war is nuts. True enough, Micah, pointing out,

we haven't been a serious nation since that jackhole came down the escalator. I don't know. We could quibble, Micah. I think we became an unserious nation when his candidacy wasn't just automatically destroyed emulated

by the access Hollywood tapes you know you have to put in a tick tack in case you have to just randomly kiss a woman oh gross oh and by the way

there was a House Intelligence Committee hearing earlier today featuring none other than Secretary Skunkhead director skunkhead Tulsi Gabbard and this was a bit of a case of the dog that didn't bark. She was she she fielded a lot of questions, but it's what she didn't say as compared to what she did that made waves.

Under questioning from among others, Representative Ami Berra, California. Well, just as Jimmy Dick Bowman or J.D. Egg or whatever he calls himself these days has a history of unfortunate remarks about getting involved in foreign wars of choice. So too does, well, Director Skunkhead. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Director Gabber, we've known each other for a long time. We were both elected to Congress in 2012 and served together for a while. I may not have always agreed with your positions, but I respected the consistency of some of your positions. Director Gabbert, following the January 3rd 2020 drone strike that killed

Qasem Soleimani, you gave a speech on the House floor six days later on January 9th, 2020. In this speech that is currently in the congressional record and available for anyone to view, you stated, quote, President Trump has committed an illegal and unconstitutional act. of war pushing our nation headlong into a war with Iran without any authorization from Congress. A war that would be so costly and devastating, it would make our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan look like a picnic. On February 28th, 2026, the Trump administration, under which you are the president's principal intelligence advisor, launched an illegal and unconstitutional act of war, pushing our nation

headlong into a war with Iran without any authorization from Congress. This war has already been costly and devastating. 13 American service members have lost their lives, including Chief Warrant Officer Robert Marzin from my home of Sacramento, California. Approximately 200 service members have been wounded. The Pentagon reported that the first six days of Operation Epic Fury cost $11.3 billion. That averages almost $2 billion per day. That was the first six days, and now we're in the 19th day of this war.

that's ballooned into a regional conflict, putting the lives of Americans and our allies throughout the Middle East in danger. Director Gabbard, do you still believe that strikes against Iran that don't have congressional authorization constitute an illegal and unconstitutional act of war? Congressman, thank you for the question. The cost of war weighs very heavily upon me and... He didn't ask you anything about the cost. lady. He asked you whether it's unconstitutional and illegal. And my colleagues here, especially for those of us who have experienced and seen the cost of war firsthand. My own personal and political views, as I mentioned earlier, I was asked and required

by Congress and by the president in this role as the Director of National Intelligence to check those views at the door to ensure that the intelligence assessments are not colored by my personal views. And that's exactly what I am responsible to deliver. Do you still believe the war with the round would be so costly and devastating that it would make our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan look like a picnic? Once again, in this role, it is essential that I do not allow any of my personal views on any issues to color or bias the intelligence reporting that we deliver to you and to the president.

So that's a, well, what's the water goat term? That's a non-denial denial. I want to keep my job, so I'm going to continue to throw my previously closely held opinions and the fervent beliefs. I'm going to throw them to the wind because I kind of like the power here even. And I've got to get as much of this salary as I can because I'm going to be unemployable as soon as I'm out of this job. her. Well, shit, I may wind up, you know, in prison. I'm so old I can remember when progressives thought that, oh, that Tulsi Gabbard, I tell you what, she's, she's the real deal. And by the way, we're approaching the close of the program. Ralps has the, maybe we should have a

meeting like this before we start the war, $25 challenge on the table. We're goose egg. But we could get down to 1175 if somebody has $25 to throw in and watch it magically turn into 50. So thanks in advance. Interesting day to be a resident of Denver. Yeah. According to CBS News, Colorado, Denverians, Denverites. people who live in Denver were surprised earlier this week

when hackers I guess these would be your white hat hackers hackers took over the voice systems at crosswalks that are used for people with disabilities and they change the language

used. Let's check in with CBS News, Colorado. Democratic voice spewing hateful anti-President Trump messages out of a cross. Oh, see, that's what it means. That's CBS News. Voices in across. Hateful messages. I wonder if that came down from Barry Weiss. Hateful. Crosswalk. Your reporter in Denver, Cherston Roth has been digging into this issue for us tonight.

And Chirson, pedestrians and Denver encountered this over the weekend. The voice came out of crosswalks that are designed to help individuals who are blind or have other vision issues. Yeah, that's right. The Department of Transportation and Infrastructure say they know of two locations that were hacked along East Colfax. Although they're fixed now, it was the talk of the neighborhood over the weekend. Colfax Avenue. Here on the corner of East Colfax Avenue and Washington Street, things are back to normal. After hackers altered the audio signals to say vulgar messages about President Trump.

Vulgar messages. No, you know, no mention by C. BS News, Colorado, that Trump himself is just a walking litany of vulgarities. No, they were vulgar messages about President Trump. Well, what did the robotic voice say? Well, at the various crosswalks, the robotic voice was not failing to help out people who were visually challenged or had other disabilities that would have relied upon the audio message. They said, the walk signal is on. Fuck Trump. So it was still doing its job.

It wasn't endangering anybody. it was just, well, being more candid. Can we say that? Yeah, but the walk signal is on. But that wasn't all. Another message said, Donald Trump has murdered children or something to the effect. The Denver Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Communications,

director Nancy Coon, speaking to the Denver Post, said, oopsie, because the crosswalk buttons were new. Quote, still bagged with their factory settings that included a default password that we now have learned as easy to find online.
