The password is encore.
Here we go, live from behind the corn phone curtain.
It's head-on with Roxanne Kincaid.
Three hours of cussin and discussin
with America's only liberal transbilly 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.com.
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 midweek prayer meeting Wednesday, the 30th, 30th?
Roxanne, please.
20th day of May, 2006.
This is the horn head-on.com.
Is where you find us on the interweb tubes.
That's where you go.
If you'd like to be part of the Merry Wacky's any real-time.
Madcap Multimedia Extravaganza.
That is the Horn chat room in the old holler tree that we sublet from the Keebler-Els,
and where we gather each and every program to cuss and discuss along the way as the program goes on.
If you're a member of the podcasting contingent of the Horn Family Community Congregation,
well, thank you for joining us in that way.
And, well, it's always good to hear.
from you throughout the day.
I genuinely enjoy that, and thanks for the interaction, and thanks for sharing your time with us that way.
If you're listening live, however, feel free to check out the aforementioned Mary Wacky Zaney.
It's right there under the chatroom tab at head-on.org.
There's Sylvie this afternoon.
Hi, Sylvie, and hopefully more will be wandering by in due time.
But, yeah, here we are, the 20th of May, and midweek.
Got some prayer meet and Wednesday stuff.
But it's actually, actually, well, we've got some that's gross and some that's not gross.
But every program here at the Horn begins with gratitude.
And this program is no different.
So thanks go out to our PayPal contributors and subscribers for the 20th day of the month.
And that means thank you to Vince out in Arizona.
Thank you.
And thank you to Armand.
Thank you to Dr. John down in Alabama.
Thank you, Reverbo.
And thank you, Routes.
Thank you all for being partial sponsors of the program.
Thank you also to David in Oregon.
And thanks to Charlie at APS Radio News.
Thank you all most kindly.
And so that leaves the funding deficit for this.
uh 20th of may at uh 3,600 and, uh, $3,600.
And, uh, $3605.
3605.
Uh, we'll just keep plugging away and hope that we can take care of all the bills this month.
Keep everything going.
So there we go. As to the password, yeah.
It's sort of a, uh, here we.
go again kind of thing. You remember how we attacked Venezuela on the flimsy legal pretext that it was
not a military operation, but that it was instead a law enforcement operation because we were
asserting jurisdiction over, we were asserting United States legal jurisdiction over the country
of Venezuela. Remember that? And we went in and kidnapped Nicholas Maduro on a flimsy pretext of drug trafficking.
Well, yeah, same shit, different day. Oh, hi, I'm Roxanne. And I just saw this right before airtime,
and I figured it should probably rocket to the top of the staff.
simply because, well, it's sort of presages.
I mean, he's in a war he can't win.
He's in a war he's already lost by him.
I mean, of course, Tangerine Tiberius, and I mean Iran.
And now that he's realized that he is stuck,
he'll try anything to get unstuck, to divert anyone.
one's attempt because this is one long attempt at attention diversion operation
Epstein fury was to divert our attention from Jeffrey Epstein well it didn't work and
now we're in a we're in a shitstorm of our own making well yeah of his making we
didn't do it I didn't know anything you you didn't do it don't feel bad
So I guess we need a new diversion.
Headline from the Miami Herald, only moments ago.
U.S. indicts Raul Castro for Cuba's 1996 shootdown of two civilian planes from Miami.
Holy shit.
So now we're claiming legal jurisdiction of the airspace over Cuba.
colonize much god almighty and you know these weren't just a couple of civilian aircraft that
had wandered off their flight path no sorry smoke alarm going off and there's no smoke
I mean there was a little bit ago but I made grilled the grilled tomato cheese sandwiches
and that set it off but there's nothing going on now I don't know what's happening
Jesus.
Anyway, these two civilian aircraft were actually anti-Castro organizations.
They belonged to a Cuban exile organization called Brothers to the Rescue.
And again, 1996.
Let's see. Who had a chance to Clinton's Justice Department?
W.'s Justice Department.
Obama's Justice Department.
But none of them were stupid enough to think that the United States could assert jurisdiction, legal jurisdiction, over Cuban airspace.
Raul Castro, meanwhile, turns 95 next month.
and the
the
maggot
U.S.
attorney who brought
the indictment
is Jason
Redding Cignones
who just happens to be
the U.S. attorney
for the Southern District
of Florida
doing his master's bidding.
Of course,
Kenyonez didn't make the announcement.
No, after his
shitty star turn
yesterday in the Congress,
Todd Blanchi,
that modern
day Clarence Darrow, not, made the announcement in D.C. I'm sorry, rather, no, at Miami-Dade College's
Freedom Tower to honor the victims of the shootdown. We were announcing an indictment charging
Raul Castro and several others with conspiracy to kill U.S. nationals. My message today is
clear. The United States President Trump does not and will not forget its citizens. He does not
forget the families, the loved ones, and the friends who've carried grief and heartache for 30 years
because their relatives were fucking dumbasses and tried to fly into Cuba.
Oh, I added that last part.
God damn dummies.
So, I don't know.
Let's see, this is Wednesday.
Will we attack and abduct, attack Cuba and abduct Raul Castro on Saturday?
Randy Radar, I have no idea what you.
you're talking about there. So don't be surprised. I mean, Raul Castro, 95, really? I mean,
when this happened in 96, he was 66? There were 65? Yeah. They indicted Castro,
five other defendants, and a ham sandwich for conspiracy to kill those U.S. nationals.
Really? Which is different from U.S. citizens?
Todd Blanchie said citizens?
Were they citizens or were they not citizens?
Well, Cuba was always a special, got special treatment, Cubans did.
The dry foot policy, if you could just get one foot on dry land, you could get citizenship if you were from Cuba, but not from the Dominican Republic, not from Haiti.
not from Jamaica
not from the Turks and Caicos
not from St. Lucia
not from Grenada
Trinidad and about
just Cuba
let's see
they also charged Castro
with destruction of the aircraft
and four counts of murder
regarding
the people in the plane
to wit Armando Alejandro
Mario de la Pena
Carlos Costa and Pablo
Morales
They also charge the
Cuban Air Force pilots who shot the planes
down
Lorenzo Alberto Perez Perez
Emilio Jose Palacio Blanco
Jose Fidel Quaalbarsaga
Raul Sima Manka Cardinus
and Luis Raul
Gonzalez Paro Rodriguez
Only one of those is in custody
He tried to get into the country in 2017
was charged with immigration fraud.
What does this mean?
I'm sorry, I'm just trying to look back
because there's something
that's making my brain itch.
Didn't we shoot down
an entire airliner
full of Iranians at one point?
Not a
couple of little piss-a-s-a-sessna's, an entire jumbo jet? Yeah. Didn't we do that?
I feel like I remember them doing that. Yeah. Because Todd Blanchie, feeling all butch, said,
Nations and their leaders cannot be permitted to target Americans kill them and not face
accountability. President Trump is committed to restoring a very simple but important principle.
if you kill Americans, we will pursue you no matter who you are, no matter what title you hold,
and in this case, no matter how much time has passed, and let's not forget, even if there was no crime committed.
At this point, I mean, we're a pariah state, y'all.
It's tough to stomach, but we are. We're a paria state. Jesus.
For Cuba's part, their president, Miguel Diaz-Cannel, said, hey, we acted in legitimate.
legitimate defense. They were in our airspace. February 24th, 1996,
Cuban-Mig fighter jets shot down two crummy Cessna's that were operated by the
Brothers to the Rescue, which was probably a CIA front organization, please. They claimed
that their mission was to search for Cuban rafters at sea. Yeah.
the international civil aviation organization investigated said it happened over international waters.
But this was no, you know, this was no innocent elyomocinnery organization.
They had also overflown Cuba and dropped leaflets.
And for their part, the Clinton administration, it was 1996 after all, after complaints from Cuba,
tried to get this bullshit organization to stop doing it,
to stop deliberately needling the Castro regime,
and tried to ground the brothers to the rescue.
Man, they had to go on a deep dive to find this excuse, didn't they?
1996.
That's so long ago.
Nitwit Niro might not have even been shitting himself back then.
and well
the
relatives
of the idiots
who did this
said
Marlina Alejandra
Triana
said
my father was a Vietnam veteran
and I'll bet
and it's very important for me that the country
that he called his home gives him the respect
and the justice he deserves
as well as the other three men
Armando Alejandra
as sister, aunt to the woman who gave the previous quote, said,
we'll see what happens next.
It's a bit more of the justice that we are seeking.
We've been working for this day since day one because we not only wanted to go after the pilots
who actually shot down the planes, but also those behind it, and this is certainly the head
of the Cuban armed forces.
We're very pleased, and we're not going to stop.
Jesus.
Oh, well.
I wonder if we'll get our ass whipped in Cuba, too.
Because, frankly, unlike Venezuela, they haven't been waiting.
Venezuela had not been waiting for an American attack for 47 years like Iran had and preparing for it.
But Cuba's got a leg up on Iran.
They've been preparing for this attack since the last attack, to wit, the Bay of Pigs, and every Cuban.
on the island is ready to resist with all their might.
Unfortunately, Cuba doesn't have a straits of Hormuz.
Yeah.
Well, that certainly is stupid.
And the indictments are thick with detail,
so that means the Department of Justice will have to prove everything that's in it,
including allegations of Cuban spies in South Florida.
Now, thank you.
Flavio, serving as the Horn Ad Hoc.
which Iranian jet did we shoot down in research department.
July 3rd, 1988, Iran Air Flight 655, a civilian airbus A-300,
was shot down over the Persian Gulf by two surface-air missiles fired by the U.S. Navy guided missile cruiser, USS Vincennes.
All 290 people on board, including 66 children, were killed in the tragedy.
The crew of the Vincennes misidentified the ascending civilian passenger jet as an attacking Iranian Air Force F-14 Tomcat fighter aircraft.
Curiously, we built the F-14 Tomcat fighter aircraft.
You would think they would have been able to tell the difference between that and a gigantic, god-damned airliner.
And Iran sued the United States and the International Court of Justice in 1989 and 1990.
the two nations reached a settlement in which the U.S. agreed to pay a paltry $61.8 million in compensation to the families of the Iranian victims, though it never formally admitted legal liability. Disgusting. So we can do it, but others can't.
Well, at this point in time, sorry, I do. I fully expect to wake up Saturday morning and look at my phone, and the first thing I'm going to see is that the bold salutes.
snappers like, you know,
Bradmorel Cooper that we heard
from yesterday
will be grudding
and braying about
the heroism of going
in and kidnapping
a 95-year-old man.
Somebody find Lee Greenwood.
I'm proud to be an
market
where we think we own the world.
Sickening.
Just sickening.
embarrassing too and they're even going to
the Miami Herald article
notes that Fidel Castro told Time magazine in 1996
that his brother Raoul, the Cuban defense minister at the time of the
downing of the planes, was part of the chain of command that decided to target the
brothers to the rescue aircraft.
He's dead
and at least
nominally we still have rules about how to deal with hearsay
it's certainly not a statement by a party opponent
God of mighty.
And the United States, well, they didn't issue any warnings to the two Cessna's.
How much warnings did we give to the Airbus A-300?
But, you know, nitwit Nero desperately needs whatever allies he can find.
And, you know, the Cuban expat community in South Florida has always been useful.
for whipping up into a right-wing frenzy at a moment's notice.
At one point in time, there was some thought that attitudes were changing with the younger generations.
Maybe not.
I wonder how many American service personnel will have to die for this mistake.
I wonder if Bradmerle Cooper has an answer for that, or would he do?
Well, I find that distinct decidedly inappropriate.
Piss off.
Lee and New York
ridiculous sequence of events
My wild imagination foresees this
U.S. captures Ravel Castro
Raul Castro is replaced by his more extreme
child. Ice waits around the hearing
room Castro is nabbed and deported.
That's worthy of Joseph Heller, Lee.
That really, really is.
And surveillance state, says Jeremy.
As well, I've noticed more and more
cop cams appearing here on Vermont roads.
None were voted on by the people
as far as I can read. They're intended to monitor areas where deadly crashes have occurred.
And, oh, and yes, generate revenue with automatic speed tickets, of course.
Of course.
You know, those are called what, flock cameras?
And flock is not particularly the law enforcement.
It's just that we'll sell the data to law enforcement.
Or are these directly owned by the cops up there?
Mm-hmm.
And smoke alarm?
Cynthia says, I had one go bad on me at about 3 a.m. and went off and said all the networked photo alarms ringing with a screech that about made me go death.
Yes, it got me up. There was no smoke, no fire. And the manufacturer replaced the defective alarm, no charge. I guess if nothing else, if I really had a fire, the system would have worked. I flew out of bed with one hell of a start. And leave Cuba alone. And Cynthia adds, so Trump is all but hurt over the people killed in the plane way back when, but killing people is something Trump does all the time.
premeditated murder maybe Trump should indict himself and I kind of have that memory of us
shooting down an airline or two under sunny boy Bush as I seem to recall no it was under
old six six six himself Ronald Wilson Raygun 1988 Jesus so we've got that going let's see here
yeah how about uh I have a feeling there's going to be a rom-lama ding dong involved with
this, she may be on her way out the door. She's not going quietly. I'm talking about Jasmine
Crocket. She's fierce. And in a hearing today, oh my God, she brought, she brought the heat
and made some maggots, well, squirm. The maggots had called the case, had called the hearing,
and titled the hearing,
The Southern Poverty Law Center Manufacturing Hate,
it was, of course, convened by Jim Jacketoff Jordan,
who, let's recall,
when he was told that,
when he was an assistant coach in Rasslin
at the Ohio State University
and was told that the team doctor was fucking the boys,
well, he just looked the other way.
They call it pulling a paterno in the Big Ten.
The Southern Poverty Law Center is entirely a manufactured, well, it's done for an audience of one.
But Jasmine Crockett was not going to sit there and just let them get away with it.
No.
You know she was ready with the receipts.
Well, well, well.
You know, it is so hard to sit here and listen to this.
That's one reason I watched the majority of this and didn't actually sit in this room
because I'm sure my faces would have told everything that I was thinking.
Is there anyone that finds it odd?
Well, can we start here?
I'm going to start with the entire panel.
Are the proud boys a white supremacist organization?
Yes or no?
starting with Ms. Wiley.
It is my view they are.
It depends on how you define it.
I have a book.
Okay, never mind.
It depends on how you define it.
It's a yes or no.
Proud boys, how they define themselves.
Are they white supremacists, yes or no?
I have not read a description of how they define themselves.
Okay, that's fun.
I'm not on their mailing list.
I don't know.
So are you only on the mailing list of?
I'm not like the SPLC.
I don't fund organizations that I'm making.
Oh, it just seemed like you were saying,
because you haven't received their mail, you only receive the mail of white supremacists.
But go ahead.
Oh, my God.
I love her.
I don't know where she's going after she's done with Congress, but I want to follow her career.
Because she's going somewhere.
She's going somewhere big.
And by the way, in case you're wondering, the white dude who's, oh, no, I'm not on their mailing list trying to be cute.
Well, that, that, y'all, was Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council of Louisiana Stan.
Told you we had some prayer meeting stuff.
Little old blue-haired ladies and little old blue-haired men and the little old blue-haired, well, not necessarily old.
Enbees outdid themselves in the Fellowship Hall kitchen this evening.
A cherry-crumb pie.
and vanilla ice cream was the dessert and I want to tell you the deacons all the deacons went after it with a will
they were they was a might slow trumbling their massive bulk up the stairs there and out into the
parking lot where they were smoking with the centers as I myself once did but we got them into the
we got them into the sanctuary here and they're waiting and they're taking up collections as they
as they roll in but uh no it it Tony Perkins Norman yes mother Bates
Tony Perkins and I don't know if I don't know if Congresswoman Crockett knew this
but Tony Perkins bought his first mail mailing list when he started his 501c3 tax exempt
grift he bought his I mentioned this in the past he bought his first mail.
list from, come on, everybody, David Duke and, you know, the Grand Wizard of the Klan.
Uh-huh.
That, Tony Perkins.
Witness.
No, they're not white supremacists.
And you know what?
I do believe that y'all believe that.
Let's try another one.
Neo-Nazis.
Ms. Wiley.
Well, yes.
Neon Nazi.
Nazis is in their name.
Neon Nazis, Dr. Swain.
Is the question still about the Pratt boys or is it about the neo-notsis.
We have moved on.
Neo-Nazis are hate groups and I have a book, 2002, about hate groups that I suggest that you all read.
I'm reclaiming my time.
I'm reclaiming my time.
Neo-Nazis.
Are they white supremacists?
Tony Park.
Neo-Nazis, are they white supremacists?
Yes or no.
What's that?
Yes or no?
They're certainly anti-Semitic, which I would join with any member of the Democratic Party.
Mr. Nadler early was talking about standing after the Jewish freedom.
Okay, reclaiming my time, Nick.
Yes, they're white supremacists.
Oh, thank God.
Jesus Christ, I didn't think we were going to get there.
Oh, my gosh, let me be clear.
Proud boys are freaking white supremacists.
Neo-Nazis are too.
And this president, who loves to coddle white supremacists,
has decided that they should be given checks.
the reasons that I pointed to those particular organizations is because you can go and read,
I don't know how many articles as Dr. Swain wants people to read up.
I'm going to be clear.
I've read my fair share of books.
I do have my fair share of degrees.
It is clear that neo-Nazis as well as Powell Boys joined in on January 6th.
Yet this slush fund that they keep talking about is specifically to give them money.
So how dare this majority sit here and try to lecture this organization about money?
Now, we're not talking about taxpaying dollars as we are in that slush fund,
but you're telling me the $2 billion in the same country that I'm sure some of y'all would struggle with whether or not the enslavement of black people was good or bad.
I'm not even going to go there and ask you all the question because y'all struggle with defining that these people were white supremacists.
But this country still hasn't thought that reparations made sense for black folk in this country.
But at the same time, they've decided that people that are in organizations that are absolutely white supremacy organizations should get our tax dollars because they decided to tear apart or attempt to tear apart our democracy.
They are being rewarded.
These are people that went through our criminal justice system.
When people on that side of the aisle claim that they love law and order, they went through it.
They either entered pleas of guilty or they were found guilty.
And this president on day one, his priority was not around racism.
It was around doing things like letting them go and now putting money in their pockets.
We haven't had one hearing on white supremacy.
Yet when we look at things like the killing of Amad Arbery, George Floyd, Brianna Taylor,
the nine worshippers who were murdered at the Mother Emmanuel AME Church,
the 23 people murdered in 2019 during a shooting at Walmart and El Paso,
the 10 people murdered during the 22 shooting at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York.
All of these were murdered by white supremacists who were empowered by the Republican Party's racist rhetoric and policies.
This is the same party that wants to drag us back to the Jim Crow era.
Some say that there aren't poll taxes, and I guess it's because they're not listing the amount of money,
but when you tell somebody that they've got to go and pay for something, say, like a passport that costs over $100 in order to be able to vote,
that looks like a poll tax to me.
Some of y'all need to read up on your history books, the very same ones that the Republicans have decided that people should not hear about,
because you don't want real history taught in our schools, because you don't want real history taught in our schools,
because you're afraid that it's going to hurt people's feelings to know that their ancestors were so savage that they would enslave black folk.
You don't want them to understand why the 14th Amendment mattered then and it matters today.
You don't want them to understand that when they draw these racist lines and tell black folk that they shouldn't have representation in this country that it is against the Constitution.
You want them to be ignorant so that they can sit up here and be your token for your mission.
Well, you can't yield because you don't run out of time.
Jesus.
Well, you can't yield because you don't run out of time.
Wait a minute.
Do they actually talk like that over there in the Buckeye State?
Because that was Jim Jacket off Jordan,
sounded like he'd just got back from a fish fry down to the Alabama.
Oh, you can't yield because you done run.
out of time
from Frank
just wondering
do these Cuban indictments mean that it'll be
30 years before any indictments come down
on Jeffrey Epstein's co-conspirators
30 years
100
then again
maybe just maybe
if we could get our shit together
and get a Democrat
and preferably one with
some spine in office on January the 20th,
20, 29. Maybe it wouldn't be 30 years, Frank. I mean,
call me an optimist.
Going back to Flight 655, George and Coors Gold,
hi, George. In Southern California,
on News Radio 1070, CBS, the National Security
reporter at the time, Andy Lightbody, went
for days defending the shootdown of the Iranian jet claiming no evidence that it was a hoax
by Iran. They claimed they filled the plane with mannequins which were pulled from the water.
Very lifelike, very much bleeding mannequins, I suppose. Yeah. Well, you know, that was 1988.
And, Alex Jones had to, had to, Alex Jones didn't invent the whole idea of tormenting the victim.
and claiming they weren't real.
Andy Lightbody in 1988 when Alex was, you know, probably,
well, he may have even sounded like a human being,
a real live living little boy back then.
Thanks, George.
I appreciate the detail.
Cynthia points out, my memory is faulty.
Oh, no, I'm misremembering.
They're almost through my kitchen, though, and I might even be able to smoke some chicken drumsticks for a block party on Sunday.
Well, that is, if I can remember how.
Oh, just message me.
We'll walk you through.
You haven't forgotten.
You'll do just fine.
And, uh, ooh, marinate those drumsticks.
Buttermilk.
Buttermilk.
Mm-hmm.
And from, uh, Lee, you can't yield because you don't run out of time.
I was listening to Jasmine Crockett.
Nothing she said sounded like yielding.
Well, at the end, he cuts off her mind, and she says, and I yield.
Well, you can't you.
Because, you know, a chud like Jim Jordan always has to have the last word because, well, we can't be letting the women folks have the last word.
Like I said, it's fair meeting Wednesday.
And every now and, oh, an update.
And I have a feeling this will prove highly gratifying.
to Vince out in Arizona, Stan, who last week gave us the,
uh, fuck the Middletown Wisconsin school board challenge.
Good news, Vince.
Good news out of the Manacqua Brewing Company.
Uh, you know, obviously there are maggot assholes in, uh, in Wisconsin like anywhere else.
But there's something special.
And Tristan let me know about this.
Thank you, Tristan.
Not Middletown, Watertown.
Watertown.
Why don't I keep making that mistake?
From the Monacoa Brewing Company, update to protect the Watertown Wind Symphony band director from repercussions for his bigoted school board.
We want to reiterate he had absolutely no involvement in the planning of this concert that will be performed at the Managua Brewing Company and has performed.
purposefully been shielded from knowing anything about it.
Additionally, because that's what's going to happen.
When Kirk Bangstad, the owner of the Minotqua Brewing Company, heard about what had happened
in Watertown, he sprung into action.
He's also a candidate for governor of Wisconsin, Kirk Bankstead is.
Ellen's Minnaqua Brewing Company and Managua Marketplace.
publisher of the Minnaqua Brewing Company Times.
But he did.
He swung into action and he said,
you know what?
I'm going to invite all the kids from that Watertown Symphony
to come and play the orchestral piece,
the symphonic piece,
a mother of a revolution,
at our facility.
And so in the way of explaining that, he said, no, the band director has no knowledge and no, no, nothing to do with all of this.
Additionally, any Watertown high school students, high school band alumni, and or substitute players from surrounding colleges who have agreed to play the band song, a mother of a revolution, are all performing on their own accord.
this is obviously not a school
sponsor. Lastly, the word repercussion
sounds a lot like percussion, which is funny
given the context.
This is all I've got to go on.
That plus having heard of Managua brewing
previously, but
dang.
So the post was
that was the update.
Hi folks, Managua Brewing Company owner Kirk
Bankstad here. Last week, the school
board in Watertown, Wisconsin, reenacted
the 1984 movie Footloose
and I think I said something.
something similar when we covered the story.
Reenacted the 1984 movie Footloose and forbade their high school band from playing a song that honored Marsha P. Johnson, a black transgender rights activist and Stonewall veteran.
The footage of bigoted board members raging against well-meaning parents and students quickly went viral, and after one of our Facebook followers messaged me about it last Tuesday,
I publicly invited the band to play in our Madison Tap Rooms Beer Garden and offered to sell tickets to raise money for them.
Oh, this is such a good story.
This is good news.
This is the stuff I love.
Later that day, I received an email from a parent of one of those students in the Watertown Wind Symphony.
It was also a member of the band's Booster Club.
Were you serious about your offer, he asked.
Absolutely, and I already have a brass quintet book to play patriotic songs for Memorial Day weekend in our Beer Garden on Saturday, May 20th.
Why don't you guys come and play after that and we'll make it a whole day of band music, I answered.
So now we're off to the races.
If you'd like to buy a coveted ticket for what will surely be a jam-packed show, there's the link to that.
We're guessing the event will sell out.
So we'll also be live streaming it on our social media platforms for well-wishers from around the country.
If you can't attend the show but still want to support the kids, go to the link to buy tickets and navigate to the button that says donate to the band.
but Kirk Bank's dad was not yet done.
When these hateful school board members learned that some of the kids would be playing
mother of a revolution at our place, they forbade them from using school-owned instruments
for the performance.
Jesus, how petty.
How shitty.
You can't, why, you'll turn the trombone gay!
Well, I've been assured, he continues, that the entire universe of band directors in America
is currently offering up instruments for these kids to play,
but it would be really awesome if we raised like 20 grand
so the band's booster club could buy all of their own instruments
instead of having to rely on their school district ever again.
So please buy a ticket or donate,
but also sign this petition that was created by the high school kids
in Watertown to stop Watertown schools from banning music
over its LGBTQ plus ties.
Has anybody told,
has anybody told the Watertown Wisconsin school board?
Oh, never mind.
Let's just put it this way.
I imagine Chikovsky's next because, you know, Chikovsky.
It's kind of gay.
And Bengstad said, I'm excited that so many people are working really hard to turn an ugly school board decision
into a glorious celebration of music and love.
And I'm even happier that this will all happen right before June, Pride Month.
Thanks for reading.
Thanks for sticking with the Managua Brewing Company, signed Kirk Bangstad.
And by way of following up,
they now have something on the order of $50,000 for the Watertown band boosters to buy instruments
that the perverts of the Watertown School Board can never so much as touch.
And people are so excited as a bandmom who will be with my own kid who's performing that day.
I can't wait to watch it later.
Oh, and along the way, what have we here?
Yeah.
School board vice president.
He thinks the lady doth protest too much.
that's right the vice president of the school board guy's name is sam come on you know what's coming next
yeah the vice president of the school board sam in drag you got something you want to tell us sam
keep at it honey you're no you're you're you're off to a great start so sometimes we have
happy endings here and and vince uh thank you so much
and I hope this somehow helps you feel a little bit better about your alma mater.
How far is Watertown from Madtown?
Because Manacua is in Madtown, I think.
No, I know Monaco was in Madison.
I mean, all kinds of comments saying, gosh, I wish I could be there.
Another individual said, someone should remind the Watertown members of the school.
board that it is impossible to ban a song for its notes when they are not playing the words.
If you know the words and associate words with the notes being played, then you spent quite some time
listening to the song with words somewhere else. And that's the thing. It has no words.
It's just music. But I guess these weirdos think that just music, which is a mathematical
expression when you get right down to it, can have a sexuality because they think everything has a
sexuality because they're perverts and they can't stop thinking about other people and things
sexuality uh frank says uh oh sylvie says rollover beethoven tell chikovsky the news i yeah
lean noted it too i heard a roll over beethoven reference mm-hmm but thanks tristan for
alerting me to that.
Kind of made my day.
It did. It did.
Meanwhile, more good news.
Jeremy sent this along from Fortune.
North Carolina State graduate showed up for a commencement speech.
They left with their senior year loans paid off at the Wilson College of Textiles at North
Carolina State University.
Anil Kachar, who was the commencement speaker,
announced that he'd be covering the five.
final year education loans for every graduate of that school who had taken out loans during
2025 to 2026. How about that? That takes in something like 176 bachelor's degree recipients,
another 26 master's degree recipients. And, well, good for that person. It's nice to see wealth
used in a responsible fashion as we enter the second hour of the program.
I thought this was somewhat interesting.
There's a preacher, his name's Livingston,
and this be in prayer meeting Wednesday, you know, well, why not?
Let's give a listen because he's gospel sharp,
but he seems to be a little bit different from most of the ones we run across.
Damn it. There we go.
She cannot tell the truth. She's a word of faith fanatic.
I heard her say, the Spirit of the Lord just spoke to me right now and told me that 10 people
were going to give $100,000. I heard her say, there is not a bitter difference between me
and Jesus Christ. I heard her say,
going to pray for people tonight. But I'm not going to pray for you to you. You lay an offering down here on
the altar. She's a blasphemer, a heretic, a deceiver, an apostate. And that's who he chose to help him do
his conferences. By the way, that's who your president chose to be his faith advisor. Some of you
won't look at me now. That's who the president chose to give him advice on faith. She does not
represent me. She can't tell the truth. Those big shot guys cannot tell the truth. If they're
trying to raise money constantly, they can't tell the truth. I want to tell you something,
our president needs some help. He needs some guidance. He needs help, but he's not going to get it
from that. The only help he can get is when he falls on his knees and calls him. And I know the man.
I talk to the man. The man is a friend of mine who sat in front of him as close as I am to my own
hand and said, Mr. President, you must be born again. You've got to ask God for forgiveness for your
sins. You cannot live in this kind of pride. You cannot be this arrogant. God won't let this
last very long. I know the man that told him that, but he's not going to get any direction from
somebody who doesn't even know what sound doctrine is. Wow. Not not, you know, not full on,
but, well, and that's Paula White-Cain he's talking about. We missed a couple of words early on. Let's
get the front end again.
Paula White, a heretic, blaspheming, Jezebel.
Yeah, they can't resist that Jezebel term.
But you know what?
I feel kind of good about it.
Can we have like a religious war among the Protestants?
Among the Bible bangers?
I'd buy a ticket.
Wouldn't be as fun as being at the Monacoa bandstand.
But still, Monacoa is in northern Wisconsin.
Oneida County, Fabio tells me.
They operate two tap rooms in Wisconsin, the Nauqua tap room in a historic 1930s Texaco
gas station in Monaco, and at the Madison tap room in Madison, Wisconsin.
So I presume it will be happening at the, what did he say?
But yes, it's a Manakwa comes from Ojibwe, Minuakwa, in the Anish Nabuan language.
Speaking of which, I ran across a guy, you know, I don't go on X very often at all,
but every now and then, I see one.
And this comes out, and because Minakua is an Ojibu, well, there's a lot of, well, there's a lot
of Ojibway influence in Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and up north in Canada, they were the
dominant tribal group, and I have friends among them, dear friends. So I was fascinated when I got to
learn a little bit about Ojibwe culture. Chippewa and Ojibwe are just different pronunciations,
different anglicizations of their actual name.
And so it was a few days ago.
I saw a guy and let's, okay, this guy is in Grand Rapids, Michigan, which is like, I don't know, you might call it Selma, Michigan.
No, no, no, no, no.
Selma, no, no.
This is like, well, grand.
Grand Rapids is just crawling with good, God, fear, and upstanding Bible believe in Christ-centered,
evil, jellical, gundaminalist, ammo, sexual, Christian maggots.
And so a guy named James David Dixon, a man of color, no less, black guy, and black maggot,
took a picture of a park, a park bent.
in Grand Rapids and it said and written on it is Anabawain which is a Jibwe language for a place of rest
but this chud said my Grand Rapids Christian again and not whatever this is dude lives on
stolen land lives smack dab in the middle of Ojibwe country where Ojibway people still live
and is so painfully agonizingly ignorant that he doesn't understand that Anabawan is for the
is is is is is is is is is is is is a jibway and comes from the people who first lived there the word
Michigan itself comes from the Ojibwe language.
Michigan is littered with, not littered, that's the wrong word, but there is, there are a lot
of Ojibway place names all over Michigan, its towns, its streams, just the same with
Wisconsin.
Mike Grand Rapids Christian again, not whatever this is.
Ah, most of the Ojibwe people are Christian.
I guess he'd really be bamboozled if it was a, uh,
John 316 written in the original coin a Greek.
They walk among us.
The stupid ye have always with ye.
But, yeah, Joy in Ann Arbor confirmed, Grand Rapids is totally Jesused up.
This is where, what's her name, DeVos, Betsy DeVos, and her family have a stranglehold on that community.
Joy always brings a smile, though.
It's totally Jesused up, but it's never enough.
We could all be shitting pages from the Bible, and it wouldn't be enough for them.
Oh, no, it wouldn't.
Because, of course, they have to define what is and isn't Christian.
Micah, who is in fact in Michigan, said, all of our roads follow their trails.
I drive by a marker tree every time I go past.
They would make tree bends to point the safe way along.
Don't tell the maggots.
And yes, Micah adds,
stay the hell away from Grand Rapids probably wise but being as how it is
prayer meeting Wednesday got a prayer meeting Wednesday story here oh every
Micah says every time she goes past her parents yes I understand let's check
in with a a gospel sharp a minister of the saving grace of Christ
Ha, Jesus.
Alan Manning Chambers.
Oh, the goddess of irony certainly did give you a fun little middle name, Alan.
Alan Manning Chambers wrote three books about his journey from the darkness of homersectionality.
Three books he got out of it and how he found Jebus.
will.
Oopsie.
Alan Manning
Chambers has now been arrested.
I'm sure you most
likely know why.
Yeah.
Because,
well, this
leader in the
ex-gay ministry
movement
contacted a 14-year-old
boy on Snapchat
trying to have sex.
with him. And the name of Jesus, of course, an Orange County detective posed, worked undercover as a 14-year-old
boy living in Orlando. And Alan Manning Chambers is 54. He got taken down at a traffic stop.
And yes, he's the former president of Exodus International.
that tried their sole purpose in life was to pray the gay away it would appear there was more than just praying
at present he's charged with solicitation of a minor transmission of harmful materials to minors and
unlawful use of a two-way communication device he was arrested following a may 18th traffic stop
after a detective communicated for months with an online user believed to be chambers who they say
sent images of his you know we have to write this all dainty like for the for the fox 35 orlando
reading audience reading audience it's a fairly small audience but still um yeah he uh he sent dick pics
to someone he believed to be a 14 year old boy and said he sure did want to have
have some sexy time with him.
He was posing as a 50-year-old man named John David.
Well, they tracked down the IPs, and it went back to Alan Manning Chambers.
David repeatedly communicated that he wanted to meet, kiss, and have sex with the teen,
asking at one point the boy,
is it bad that I want to make love to someone who's 14?
then they
then they moved the conversation over to telegram
because they thought they had more privacy there
on that Russian-owned platform
then he sent a picture of his face to the boy
detective boy
a bald middle-aged white man
yeah and
once he was arrested
he said well I was talking to a 14-year-old boy
named Rory
and admitted to the accounts that he had
and the telegram username.
What did you talk about?
Well, we just talked about meeting.
You know?
I didn't say we're going to do anything.
And the phone number traced back to Allen M.L. Chambers Foundation.
That would be his ex-gay foundation, his Pray the Gay Foundation.
Let's see.
I mentioned he had three books.
Let's see, Alan Manning Chambers.
My Exodus from Fear to Grace.
God's Grace and the homosexual next door, reaching the heart of the gay men and women in your world.
And then I guess you'd say it was a trilogy.
Leaving homosexuality, a practical guide for men and women looking for a way.
out. Out. Get out. I'm out. He even went on Fox News TV radio Rwanda at one point saying,
Exodus is here for people who want an alternative to homosexuality. Yeah, pedophilia, apparently.
There are thousands of people like me who have overcome this. I think there's room for more than
one opinion on this subject and giving people options isn't dangerous. And now the detectives
are trying to find out if there's any more, if there are any more actual fore
14-year-old boys that he pursued.
I guess this is the point in the program where I point out,
not a drag queen, not a trans person,
nope, just a sexual predator.
He goes, asked him, he's not gay anymore.
That's the Roy Cohn defense.
Oh, I'm not gay.
I'd just like to have sex.
But Roy Cohn didn't even,
even Roy Cohn didn't say,
I like to have sex with 14-year-old boys.
And, uh,
going back to coin a greek well thank you sylvie yeah i'm a little slow with my reading greek but uh huthus grega basin i hope that
you don't want to hear me do that but yeah to coin a phrase that's john 316 thanks sylvie uh the irony
Jeremy says, how did this fuck not realize the irony of using two of the apostles as his handle
and not thinking if there was a small chance any of it was true this could come back to haunt him?
Jesus, you can't make this sick pito ex-gay fuck up.
Nah, he's real.
They're real.
All, all too real.
Yeah, and from Matt in San Francisco.
Hi, Matt.
He found Jesus.
Unfortunately, his last name was Garcia.
I would expect nothing less, Matt.
Matt and San Francisco, and of course, since we're talking, okay, San Francisco.
I got a San Francisco thing here.
And again, I don't know how good news is creeping into the program this here Wednesday.
You've done run out of time.
But there was a recent meeting of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors a hearing on reparations.
and an Asian-American woman stood up and addressed the board.
And what she said was, I'd hate to say that it was surprising, but it was refreshing.
And it bears hearing.
Okay.
Good afternoon, everyone.
My name is Aaron Kimura.
I'm a fifth-generation Chinese and Japanese-American and a fifth-generation San Francisco.
I'm here today to fully support black reparations because this is the bare-ass minimum, period, the bare-ass minimum.
History is enough of a reason.
The dehumanization that we've seen is enough of a reason for why we need redress and reparations now.
This is not an impossible reality, right?
We've seen this with the Japanese Americans in the late 1980s.
They received, on the federal level, reparations.
and the fact that black folks and our black community and our brothers and sisters are still waiting for a formal apology.
I'm just going to leave that there just to simmer.
And I just really want to note, especially as an Asian-American woman,
I would not be here if it were not for the black liberation struggle,
the black freedom fighters, culture creators, and the world builders that have fought for my liberation.
So
Thank you
Thank you
Unfortunately, they cut her off
But she got said what needed to be said
And Matt, I love your city
I can't I don't think
I can't imagine that happening
Much anywhere else
But the fact of the matter is she was entirely
She was entirely correct
Because the civil rights
Movement
never had an adject in front of civil.
It was never solely about any one group civil rights,
but living up to the standards established
and stated as law in the Constitution
and the laws of the United States.
The civil rights movement led to 1965
and something called the Hart Seller Act,
and that was the,
U.S. law that opened the door to more Asian immigration and tried to redress some of the
evils of 19th century jurisprudence and end of the 20th, for that matter, about Asian people
coming to the United States. And it's the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act
of 1965. And that gives you a sense of just how perverted, how perverse
the Supreme Court is
because
they see a zero-sum game
where anyone
experiencing
an expansion of rights
means the diminution of white rights.
Like I said,
the Calais decision
is nothing but
the Supreme Court
court affirming these existence of the entirely bullshit concept of anti-white racism.
And it's been a long time in the building.
You know, they, these maggots turned DEI into a three-letter, a three-letter, a three-letter,
a three-letter stand-in for the word that they can't say, but they really want to say, without ever even understanding that,
the beneficiaries of DEI can be white, can be female, can be disabled, can be veterans,
but they see DEI, and they see, they hear in their internal monologues, that word.
So good on this young woman.
Good on her indeed.
More like her, please.
A lot more.
Oh, and we had a couple of clips when I was talking with David in Oregon a couple of nights ago
of people getting really, really frustrated and a bit angry.
And now we have this one, a young guy who is tired of being told what a bunch of slackers
his generation are.
This is
yeah, this is pretty
profound. It's also pretty loud
so, you know, trigger warning, content warning,
I guess. I feel like
the reason all these artists are canceling their tours,
Megan Trainor, Post Malone, etc.
It's not because their music sucks. People will watch anything.
It's the same reason why movie theaters are dying.
It's the same reason why no one's having any kids.
It's the same reason why no one will ever have a house.
And it's because no one has any fucking money.
Did we just forget that? Why is there
always some think piece about, oh, why doesn't Gen Z want to do this? Why is Gen Z killing this industry?
People want to have lives. They just can't, because they don't have any fucking money.
You think we want to live like this? You think we want to own nothing? And all we have is maybe
a little subscription here and there and eat like shit? No, that's all we can do. You just
strangle us, our whole lives. And you're like, why aren't you breathing? Why don't you want to
breathe? What? You're doing this. You're talking. You're talking.
charging more and more for everything, but you're not paying more.
This whole country is a couple greedy billionaires going, give me, give me more.
But it's not enough, because it'll never be enough.
They want you to love them, too.
Oh, look, I'm at the Met Gallup.
Aren't I cool?
Fuck you!
You're the reason that we're in this shit!
You're the reason that we can't go to concerts, and we can't go out,
and we can't start a family, and we can't on a home.
But thank fucking God that we get to see you in a shitty dress
and your bald-ass head on the red carpet.
Excuse me for not paying $300 to go see Megan Trainor.
I'm sure she's fine.
I'm sure she's a great performer.
But I'm not going to see it because I fucking can't.
And I don't want to.
Bonus points for the end I don't want to.
But his point is spot on.
And it's not just Gen Z.
Although he does mention the matter of,
you know, why isn't Gen Z having babies?
And it goes back to a story from a month or more ago.
Remember the one where it turns out that when they're barking and grunting about the American birth rate going down,
the biggest reason that the American birth rate has gone down is that we've actually gotten teenagers to halfway understand, at least the girls,
that teen pregnancies aren't a good thing and that the actual decline in the American birth.
rate is mostly teen pregnancies.
So what you've actually got are these pasty-faced doughy white men,
blathering and grunting and barking about not being able to have sexy time with teenage girls.
God, they're sick.
There's no, there's no bottom to their sickness.
There's knocking coming from beneath the floor as that Russian phrase goes.
but again it's not just Gen Z.
The millennials are struggling.
Gen X is struggling.
Boomers are struggling.
And it is by design.
Because the one thing the young man got right is something that I've been saying for 20 years, you know, into various and sundry microphones.
They want it all.
You know, at the beginning of every month, we didn't make it this month, but at the beginning of every month, we have Bruce and Karran's Memorial.
real challenge and it's named for well Bruce and Karen and Bruce was a militant progressive and he used to
say to me these goddamn billionaires will not be happy until they have every last dime and the rest
of us are freezing to death in the dark and shitting in a bucket and not only was he not far off
he wasn't off at all.
He nailed it.
But the problem lies in getting people who think that they are temporarily embarrassed millionaires to realize they're not.
And then there's Jeff Bezos, whom that young Gen Xer mentioned, or Gen Zer mentioned.
Yeah.
Jeff Bezos gave an interview.
And he really should have not because everybody already hates him for good reason, but he didn't make himself any more likable.
He showed up on that CNBC program Squawk Box and proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Great Wealth does not equate, as we've so often said here, to great intelligence.
he went after Zoran Mamdani
complaining
it isn't right
for Mom Donny to stand in front of
Ken Griffin's house
he's the billionaire
CEO Citadel
and act like he's some kind of villain
Ken Griffin isn't a villain
he hasn't hurt anybody he's not hurting New York
in fact quite the opposite
and went on to say that
well
you know
taxing me more
This was the real, this was the real lulu.
Taxing me more won't, taxing me more won't make anybody's lives any better.
What we need to do is cut the taxes on the pores.
We already have the most progressive tax system in the world.
People sometimes say, you know, I don't pay any taxes.
Not true.
I paid billions of dollars in taxes.
You could double the taxes I pay and it's not going to help that teacher in Queens.
I promise you.
Mom, Donnie was watching.
it all happened and he responded later and said, I know a few teachers in Queens who would beg to differ.
And then he said, because they always say this kind of shit.
He said that, well, the real problem with high prices is government interference in the market.
There's way too much influence in politics from corporations, and in some cases wealthy people like you.
But then, of course, he went on and said, yeah, and the unions, and the unions,
The unions.
That motherfucker could buy a reunion in this country and never count the cost.
Jesus.
And Aaron Sorkin did the interview and asked him about the billionaire practice of buy, borrow, die,
where billionaires borrow money against their assets and lower their tax burden.
And then they wind up, you know.
Dying rich and never having done any goddamn thing worth living for.
Bezos said,
Oh, there's no truth to this buy, borrow, die thing.
I don't even know where this comes from.
I'm selling Amazon stock routinely.
Oh, Jesus.
Sorkin then said, well, what about Leon Scum?
He takes out huge loans against his stock,
and Jeff Bezos defending his,
his competitor in the Dick Rocket market.
I'm a little skeptical that that's a true loophole,
but if it is, can we fix it?
Then we should.
But still, that nurse in Queens,
it's not going to help her at all.
Nah, you know, the poor, they're just beyond help.
So you cut a poor person's taxes.
That doesn't do anything.
Not realistically.
Cutting taxes doesn't make gas prices go down.
or make groceries more affordable and the idea that most of us hold that behind every great fortune is a great crime
it's not correct on its face the way you make a billion or a hundred million or ten million or anything is you create service that people love like at in and out burger or raising cane's chicken fingers and if millions of people choose your service you're going to end up with a billion dollars just try it with a chicken franchise
Well, sure, asshole. Let's all go out and open up a chicken franchise.
I think I mentioned this. We're getting a new chicken joint in Fayetteville.
Now, it's a burr under my saddle. It's very local, but it's still just, it's emblematic of more dollars than cents.
So we've got a little hamburger row in Fayetteville right in front of the Wally World.
you can get chicken fingers at McDonald's.
You can get them at Wendy's.
Hell, you can get them at Boob Evans.
You can get them across the road at Kentucky Fried Chicken.
You can even get them at Taco Hell.
You can get them at the Sheets Convenience Store.
You can get them at Long John Silver's.
DQ.
Local grocery stores.
everybody has chicken tenders. So what did somebody with more dollars and cents do in Fayetteville?
Why, they're putting up a Huey Magoos chicken joint. They say they have the filet, the filet mignon
of chicken tenders. I say bullshit. Oh, but they got a great sauce. Yeah, well, everybody has a
sauce. You have to have a sauce. And if you're going somewhere for the sauce, no, but I guess those guys are
billionaires now because they came up with
would you ever
eat at a place called Huey Magoos
that name
just sounds like you know how it was with
Mr. Magoo you know he's
walking into a lamp post
and whatnot I don't know Jim
Backus was the voiceover artist
at a place called Huey Magoos
I feel like he'd be as likely to get a human finger
as a chicken finger. Whoopsy
so you heard it
from the mouth of
the mouth of
Jeff Bezos, everybody get busy, put in a chicken finger place.
I've noticed Jeff Bezos isn't into chicken fingers.
Can you get a Pentagon contract for chicken fingers?
And this, whoever let him schedule this interview should probably be fired.
Because he just, he took a, it's like, it's like he took an AR-15 with a hundred,
round magazine and just started dumping rounds into his own feet.
Of course, he's up to his eyeballs in AI, and he's trying desperately to try to get people
to like AI.
But if you check in with people like, oh, say that young man who was talking about, we don't
have any fucking money, he would probably tell you that he hates AI.
despises AI.
Gen Alpha and Gen Z just generally, no, they don't like it.
And, you know, the general consensus, even among the philosopher tech bros, is that AI is going to ruin a lot of jobs.
And we'll just have to figure out something to do with those proles who can't work anymore.
But not according to Bezos.
Well, I think those people are dead wrong.
What's really going to happen is it's going to elevate all of these people.
Elevate?
Hoist?
Are there petards involved?
It's going to boost productivity.
Ooh, I hate that word so much.
Productivity.
That means doing more and getting paid less for it.
Resulting in deflation across a range of goods and services,
but only if we let this technology play out and don't hamstring it with regulation
too early.
Now, the problem with AI is you either regulate it early or then it's too late.
Over at the Pew Research Center, they did some researching and found out that around 50%
of U.S. adults are like, nope, no AI thanks.
And they talk about the fact that AI steals creativity from actual humans, the data
centers that wreck communities wherever they go. Software designers and engineers are looking for
a soft place to land once AI starts doing their jobs. It's not a great moment. As to taxing the
billionaires, Mikea said, well, I'll tell you what, baldy, let's try it anyway and see.
Yeah, I mean, we certainly try anything that a billionaire comes in off the street with.
Trickle-down economics.
Anybody?
Bueller?
Let's try something that a billionaire didn't come up with for a change and see if it actually works out well.
You know what I think they're afraid of?
They're afraid that we're going to figure out, and we have long since figured it out,
that they're a bunch of dumbasses.
That money in that amount begins to make you stupid.
It makes you do dumb things.
Just not dumb enough yet.
Bezos, who, of course, thrives on H-1B visas.
AI isn't a threat to software engineers?
It just helps programmers solve problems in their
work. It's just that the work is going to be done at a higher level. It's going to be done with a
bulldozer instead of a shovel, and that's going to be a good thing. Is it really? Bulldozers are not
always better. Ask Rachel Corey. But then they got around to talking about nitwit Nero.
No, those are not the OG owners of sheets. It's S-H-E-E-T-Z, you juvenile delinquent Jeremy U,
Western Pennsylvania. I mean, frankly, I like that.
name better than I do wah-wah wah waw your tuna fish sandwich had botulism
wah-waw-waw-w-waw all right you can borrow against a life insurance policy
Randy Radar says but someone who does that may be uncomfortable moving around
looking over their shoulder well there's always the reverse mortgage how about a
timeshare but no he that Bezos started waxeses
rhapsodic about nitwit Nero it's nauseating get ready
to his first term yeah and I think he is a more mature more disciplined
version of himself than he was in his first term and you know it and so again I've
I've worked with all the presidents I will work with all the presence you know and
I hope to do that going forward if they'll have me but it's we we need our
leaders to provide input into the administration, regardless of who the president is.
I'm not on the side.
You know what?
This is, I'm on the side of America.
And I know you aren't.
That is so important.
Like, and that's where business leaders should be.
Ah, no.
You keep selling.
I ain't buying.
You're on the side of America.
And neither is Micah noting Timo.
Timu asked Lex Luthor.
Did you catch that?
He's a more mature president in this term?
What in the name?
What is Jeff Bezos on?
And I don't want any.
That's some delusional shit right there.
But the whole thing was that way.
More mature, more disciplined.
He needs to stay out of his own supply.
But then he got asked a question about the $50 million bribe he paid to melanoma.
That was fun.
No, it was a great business decision.
Really?
Really.
And wasn't melanoma just beautiful?
Oh, she was.
She was.
My ache.
She won.
One related question to all this.
And this goes to the Washington Post piece of it.
and just the influence and money piece of it.
Yeah.
And it relates to the president of the United States.
Yeah.
And there is a view among critics that say that part of what you have done or are doing is trying to placate the president with either the sort of shift in the tone of what's happening at the paper or even some of the things at Amazon, the decision to make the documentary around Melania, for example.
Yes, the Melania thing is a falsehood that will not die.
Okay.
So, you know, I see reported all the time that somehow I was involved in this, and, you know, we did this at this Mar-a-Lago dinner.
Everybody thinks that you went to Mar-a-Lago.
It's not true.
Not true.
We have denied it.
Melania's office has denied it.
It's not true.
I had nothing to do with that.
By the way, it appears it was a good business decision.
You know, it did very well in theaters.
It's done very well on streaming.
People are very curious about Melania.
Really?
Even though I had nothing to do with it.
It appears that the Amazon team made a very wise business decision.
My God, it's the Sergeant Schultz defense.
I know nothing.
I hear nothing.
I say nothing.
I know nothing.
It did very well in theaters.
I mean, I was here.
You were here.
We were here.
We were reading the stories about the people, about people staying away
from that god-awful piece of so-called documentary filmmaking directed by a sexual predator
and Ratner, and you couldn't give away tickets.
But, I mean, is this like the French millionaires who put a napkin over their head to
eat some endangered little birdie so that God won't see them doing it?
Were people putting brown paper bags over their heads and going to the movie theater?
Or were they going to, or were they paying for a ticket to one and sneaking in to see melanoma?
Try on shoes? Really?
Do you wait until, do you wait until your partner and your spouse or your friends, everything?
And you just, and you go on and you go on Amazon Prime.
I can't help it. I can't help it.
to, I got to, I'm so curious. I have to see melanoma. Really?
More mature president, Steve in New York, just, there simply aren't words. There aren't.
And you know what? That, there aren't. He is, he's not high on his own supply. He's wasted.
I mean, trashed on his own supply. Jeremy pointing out, Schindler's list.
sold more tickets than this fucking melanoma pick well schindler's list was a brilliant movie it's
one of those watch it once movies sophie's choice was that way for me too curious how the uh
subject matter is similar and from matt in san francisco melanoma the only movie i can picture her in
is cats oh god yeah man
memory all along in the moonlight
Roxanne
3605 remember and we're a goose egg so far
also had nothing to do with Project Hail Mary
which I regret because it's an incredible success
I wish I had greenlit that right but I did it
and so you know Amazon's a big company
it makes a lot of decisions
wait a damn minute so Project Hail Mary
and Melanoma the movie
are on the same
cinematic or intellectual
level
dude get away from
get away from wherever it is
you're huffing those chemicals
or don't you know
huff more
no this this idea that
you know that that somehow that is a way of buying
influence it's just not
it's just not correct
I can see what they say this
and by the way
you know
no no I bought my influence
when I contributed to the ballroom
and the and and the and the
inauguration and everything else, all that other money I've given him.
You know, when you think about Bezos's money,
a million here, a million there.
Mr. Clampett, are you carrying what you call your walking around money?
Damn it, Matt.
Oh, Jeremy.
Damn it, Matt, we agreed years ago.
This isn't about the goddamn cats.
And from Emilio.
Roxanne, by the hell, do you hate me?
Why must you always mock me?
Stop singing now.
Wait, how did that turn it?
What?
Ah.
Lee, in New York, melanoma, a Hail Mary project.
Did this, this got beat?
I'd like to say he's a bat.
He's like a Batman villain, but Batman villains have style?
Panash, a motivational arc.
Same thing at the Post.
You know, I want the Post's opinion section to stand for free markets, kind of what I've
been talking to about today, free markets and individual personal liberties.
I think that's those are.
Yeah, okay, that has nothing to do with why you spiked the endorsement of Kamala Harris.
causing no small number of your employees to say fuck this and leave that's not simply
incorrect bezoid founding pillars of america it's one of the reasons that america has been so
successful this i mean we have an incredible history in 1917 we had the same GDP per
capita and the same population size as argentina those two countries diverged completely
And that has what to do with the price of rice?
Nothing?
Yeah, Matt says $40 million for visas.
That's like me giving a waiter a $40 tip.
Yeah.
I mean, well, at least you're not a good Southern Baptist, Matt,
and leave a dime and a Bible verse under the coffee saucer.
Jeremy says, give Emilio and Lee both cowbells or claps, especially Lee.
this was a Hail Mary project.
Absolutely.
There's yours, Emilio.
This harkens back to F. Scott Fitzgerald looking at Hemingway and saying,
Oh, the rich are very different from you and me.
And Hemingway was the hell they are, but they want to be different.
They don't want to come across as just the pathetic money-grubbing fuckheads
who are still going to die anyway.
It takes different forms.
In Leon Scum's form, it takes the form of trying to create a, he calls it, you know,
we went over this yesterday, he calls his children his legion.
Ugh.
Well, somewhere along the way, there's bound to be one little scum who will want to be just like daddy.
Not saying what the Bolsheviks did was right, but they did figure out a way to not have a Romanov problem anymore.
because of our system.
It's the way that we have organized ourselves
to be productive.
And business can do that.
And they can be interfered with a bit.
But there's a limit.
If you interfere too much with too much regulation,
or too much, there's just the right amount, too much.
And the golden goose that lays the golden eggs
can stop laying golden eggs.
You don't want that to happen.
This is the engine.
You want to make sure everybody is sharing in that engine,
but don't hurt the engine.
Yeah, nobody, that's the thing.
Everybody isn't sharing in the engine because the billionaires have the keys to the vehicle and the garage.
And just enough regulation is functionally with these fuckwits, zero regulation.
But of course, Aaron Sorkin couldn't be bothered to try to pin him down on anything because, well, gosh, Aaron Sorkin,
would like to interview Jeff Bezos another time somewhere down the road and feel that
warm thrill of confusion, that space cadet glow.
Who listens to that and, oh, yeah, I think he's right.
I mean, it's, he, he's just clueless.
And then there's what I mentioned earlier about him trying to take a shot at Zoran
Mondani.
Ah, it's not going to stick.
A spending problem.
And that's a skills issue.
I mean, let me give you an example.
The New York City school system.
Right.
They've spent $44,000 per student.
44,000.
That's 30% more per student than other big cities like Chicago, L.A., and Boston.
And it's three times more than Miami and Houston.
And by the way, New York City doesn't get better outcomes.
So, listen, let's see.
Listen, let me just say.
If we ran Amazon the way New York City runs their school system, your packages would take six weeks to arrive.
We'd have to charge you a $100 delivery fee.
Yeah, hold on here.
And by the way, he is – oh, God, he's such a disgusting.
Dude, Studio 54 closed years ago, Jeffie.
You can take off the groovy gold chain.
And by the way, this is all being done with the backdrop of his dick rocket factory.
That's that humming and going on goings on that you hear in the background.
Because that's what he wants people to think of, his dick rockets.
And not, well, you know, if we, if we ran Amazon like New York City runs at schools,
maybe you'd, maybe your workers would be treated a little better.
A lot better.
If it was all unionized, I have a confession to make.
I had an Amazon package delivered up here.
It's not, finding, finding, finding this house is not nearly as difficult as it is finding the mansion down in the hills and hollers.
This is actually a city with, you know, laid out street addresses and everything.
And you don't have to say go past the old burned out stuff.
dump and turn left up the next holler and try to stay out of the ruts or anything.
I'm sure you're just dying of curiosity.
Christopher out in Oregon will understand.
I ordered a jar of sport peppers and a jar of that neon green mellish because I want to try
to make Chicago-style hot dogs.
It was supposed to be delivered today.
It was delivered today.
But not to this address.
and probably because the driver was all stressed out and had a buku deliveries to make
and their job or their raise or their performance review was riding on the line because we have to optimize that productivity.
I love this idea that you can measure outcomes by money spent.
New York City is a much more expensive place to live than some other cities too.
And teachers have transportation costs.
and sky-high rents and expensive groceries and expensive power bills.
New York is nowhere.
That ain't cheap to live in.
Stephen New York says run Amazon like New York City Schools.
Everybody gets free books.
Tadda.
Please don't touch him.
He's just a dragon sitting on his hoard.
Please don't touch my hoard or I'll burn this place to the ground.
And then when the package did finally arrive,
it have the wrong item in it anyway.
That's a skills issue, Andrew.
These days, it feels almost impossible to pick up a newspaper
without reading a headline about wealth in America,
about the billionaire class,
about wealth inequality and policy, and everything else.
And it's taken a uniquely critical turn, I think.
And I'm so curious, before we've been getting to everything else,
what you think about that right now.
Well, first of all, Andrew, I'm glad you're asking the question.
I think it's a really important topic.
And I think it's an important one to discuss.
And I'm definitely not going to give you a straight answer.
You see it in a bunch of places.
And I have been thinking, I have been thinking about, like, what is, what is driving this?
It does seem different from 10 years ago.
And, and I think, I think what's going.
Yeah, it is different from 10 years ago.
10 years ago was 2016.
We hadn't watched our country go down the drain yet.
And 2014, 15, 16 is when Bernie starts getting traction with his critique of the billionaire class.
People are waking up all over this country.
It's not that it's not that people have gotten an unfair or misinformed.
view of the billionaires, it's that the billionaires have under nitwit Nero really come out
and shown us who the hell they are.
I mean, Bezos and his wife, good God, she looked tacky at the Met Gala.
And you can put a tux on Jeff Bezos, but he's still going to, he's still going to look like
shit.
Yeah, it's different now because we know more now.
because the maggots led by their orange Jesus once again raided the treasury to make this guy's life
immensely better yeah sorkin and bezos Kevin in Massachusetts says millionaire
interviewing a billionaire and whatever shall we do about those horrid pores yeah you're right
right but do do do continue bezos is that it's kind of a tale of two economies so you have a
bunch of people in this country who are doing really well but you're also a bunch of people in
this country who are struggling shouldn't pay rents and groceries notice how notice the
precision of that of that intensely um scientific term a bunch
You got a bunch of people who are doing really well, a bunch of people who aren't doing so well.
No, you've got a tiny minority of Americans, and somehow it comes out, you know, the summary effect of it is different when you put it this way.
We've got a tiny little minority of Americans who are doing extremely well.
And the vast majority of Americans who ain't.
You don't run out of time.
Who are not doing well.
who struggle with everything y'all live that struggle i live that struggle i don't know anybody who doesn't live that struggle
they got a bunch of people doing well a bunch of people not doing so well so you know the people there's a bunch of people that aren't doing so well they don't like the bunch of people who are doing well
But he has to describe it that way because if you just say, hey, there's only a tiny little handful of us.
The next thing you know, you may have Luigi Mangione's coming out of the woodwork.
Because it's not a big number.
And so what's happening here is politicians are using the kind of age-old technique.
So there's this tale of two economies.
and they're using this age-old technique of, you know, picking a villain and point.
They didn't have to pick.
It's not like there was a, it's not like there was some sort of diverse harvest out there and somebody.
No, there's no picking.
That's why I coined the term villainaire.
People wind up being described as villains when they behave villainously.
Don't want people to think you're a goddamn.
villain, don't be a villain. Don't rub people's noses in your wealth. Where did he get that? Why did he
have that? In 1917, we have the same GDP as Argentina. In 1917, we entered the First World War
too and ramped up military production. And the next thing you know, we get the 1920s. What happened at the
end of the 1920s.
Anybody remember?
1917's and also
is also an interesting choice for him
because that's the year that
the Bolsheviks solved their
Romanov problem.
My God, Star Trek reference
from Micah.
My God, he's like Gold Duckett.
Can you believe that today there's not a single statute
in my honor,
Bajor?
Hey.
These guys are more dangerous than
like Batman villains. You can see Batman villains coming a mile away. Wait a minute. I blew that
reference, didn't I? Yeah, I guess I did. She's typing. Sitting here waiting to see what comes next.
Lee in New York says, a bunch of people. One bunch went to China with POTUS. Another bunch
looked at their bank balance and wondered what happened. Oh, well, we'll figure out how I screwed up
the reference in a minute. He wasn't done. He's almost done.
Yeah, okay. Yeah, the guy who ruled over Majoran, the Deep Space Night, yes.
Pointing fingers, but the problem is that doesn't solve anything.
And so, like, if you want to help the group of people who are struggling,
you have to figure out real root causes and solutions, and that takes skill.
Oh, well, okay, now we've got that all sorted out.
because it'll never
it'll it'll it'll it'll it'll it'll never help
well it'll do
it won't do the poor's any good
to give Jeff Bezos a sad
nostalgic asks Randy Radar
just raise the top marginal tax rate to what it was
you know under Dwight Eisenhower
this program's flown along
well time you know
time flies when you're
deconstructing billionaires
nowhere now
all less intelligent for having listened to that blither.
This was interesting.
U.S. District Judge John Bates recently granted a preliminary injunction that orders most of the people who work in the White House to, you know, in mind with the Presidential Records Act, preserve presidential and vice presidential records records.
that was earlier today
that doesn't seem like a
terribly difficult conclusion
to reach what was interesting
however and this whole case
came out of a challenge by the
OLC of the DOJ
the same office of legal counsel that in 1975
said well of course you can't
charge a sitting president with a crime
who
perish the thought that
got turned into what happened in
2024 with our most puissant
dread sovereign Supreme TEP
majesties.
They,
the OLC
put out a memorandum
opinion saying that
the Presidential Records Act is
unconstitutional
and violates
the separation of powers.
So that brought out several
good governance groups
like the American Historic
Association, the American Oversight, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington,
and the Freedom of the Press Foundation, all to sue together to have the DOJOLC opinion thrown the
hell out as, well, as it should be. So Judge Bates in his order said, no, no, no,
this this this law applies to you susie wiles uh you stephen miller the executive office of the president
but he held does not apply to nitwit nero or the jadig he said while the presidency is a singularly
important institution that gravity does not free it from modest constraint quite the opposite
for nearly 50 years every president, including President Trump in his first term, I mean, kind of, has complied with the Records Act, and none has challenged its facial constitutionality as to burdensome.
Then he got Shakespearean.
He said, to adopt the government's position that the act is unconstitutional would disable Congress and future presidents from reflecting on experience in defiance of the very words engraved on the National Archives building in Washington,
and what's past is prologue.
But he wasn't satisfied,
so he also dragged out some George Orwell from 1984.
Who controls the past controls the future?
Who controls the present controls the past?
Perhaps with that lesson in mind,
Congress enacted laws to ensure that government records are created,
preserved and made available to the public.
I'm sure this will go up to the D.C. Circuit,
and then from there it will go to our most puissant dread sovereign supreme catholic
majesties who will try to find some way to placate their orange daddy who keeps writing mean things
about them it makes them very sad when daddy takes off his belt and gives them a mean tweet
and because we need another all the giggles we can get um how about a
a moment with Pink Shrek, who being the Solon that he is. No, he's not a son. The Aristotle that he is,
has now decided that the Iran War is going to cost the maggots, the Congress, this November.
Strap in for wisdom is about to speak. That's sarcasm.
oh no no no no I thought we had a clip here no we are not going to listen to no no but he said
people look at what's going on right now with the Republicans the Iran war which is extremely
unpopular very unpopular I mean what is it polling now it's something like low 30% of people
think it's a good idea so the Democrats come along you know and they win in 2028 and then you
have these ideas push forward because people want something different than what you have now.
And this was all in a conversation with, of course, a venture capitalist named Mark Andresen,
who for the entire three hours was barking and grunting about wealth tax laws being proposed in California
as well as in Washington.
And when he said that, Andresen said, yeah, yeah.
and then it just opens the door to this stuff.
Equity.
Equity.
Better watch what you say, Joey.
Try not to go and do any public appearances in, like, Utah, okay?
And Dresen kept trying to stick up for Silicon Valley.
They were talking about Elizabeth Warren,
who wants a 6% annual federal tax on unrealized gains.
And said, yeah, and they would have done it.
if Kamala Harris had got into, they would have.
This is the single most activating thing I've seen happen in politics that has people in the valley cranked up.
And that's why we're all leaving Silicon Valley and going to Nevada and Texas and Florida.
Go. Go. Don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you.
Happy hurricane, etc.
happy, happy climate change that nobody in Florida, that the government in Florida, nor Texas, believes in or acknowledges, good for you, enjoy it.
Goodbye now.
How can we miss you if you won't go away?
Can you imagine, and this is more for the California contingent of the Horn family community congregation, can you imagine a Silicon Valley free?
of tech dude bro billionaires.
Might be rough, but maybe it might be nice.
Maybe property values would get back to something resembling sanity.
Yeah, I know, Micah.
Stand not upon blah, blah, blah.
Yeah, stand not upon the order of your going, but go at once, Mark Andresen.
But the thing is, Pink Shrek pushed back and says,
If Daddy keeps fucking up in Iran, voters may not even care what Silicon Valley wants.
For us warriors of the working day, are any of us sitting around wondering what Silicon Valley wants?
Because I'm not.
I kind of doubt many of us are.
and what Silicon Valley wants, all of it.
Everything.
They want it all.
Again, I've been saying this for 15, 20 years.
And what Bruce said was right.
They won't be happy until we're all freezing to death in the dark and shitting in a bucket.
Oh, and Ralph's in an effort to save us from Goose Egg Hood has said,
I'll offer a $25 challenge for this.
Yeah.
Headline, Trump, RFK Jr., unsure whether to treat potential Ebola outbreak with really powerful light or raw milk.
And it's got a dot-a-u extension on the URL, so it's time for Crocodile Kincaid.
maker make an appearance.
As fears grow that an Ebola outbreak could spread beyond Africa,
Donald Trump and his health secretary met today
for what was described as a really productive back and forth
on potential options for a coordinated US response.
We're looking at a lot of options, Trump told journalists today.
Very powerful light, very beautiful light.
Some people are saying it could go right through the body,
right through the organs, and just clean the whole thing out.
and Robert says that raw milk showed extraordinary promise in a 2014 YouTube clip he bookmarked.
So there are a lot of good options.
Tramp said his administration was not ruling anything in or out.
Light milk, maybe both at the same time you're showing the light through the milk.
Nobody's even thought of that.
Bleach, we're looking at a national rollout of bleach.
Worms, every household gets sent a worm.
They just burrow in and eat the virus.
Nothing is off the table.
this is good.
Trump was asked whether the administration was considering any scientifically proven treatments,
but appeared not to hear.
Magnets.
We're looking into magnets.
Very powerful magnets.
I'm told, lasers are another option.
Someone should look into that.
Horse medicine.
Not a lot.
Not a lot of people are talking about it.
So you shine the laser through the raw milk.
bleach the virus
Thank you, Ralph
This has been an odd little Wednesday program
And I needed that giggle
Oh, thank you, Christopher
My vote is for raw milk
Oh, thank you, Christopher
And so we got $10 to go on Ralph's challenge
And that'll get us down to
3555
if we can do that.
Thank you, Ralphs.
Thank you, Christopher.
Ten bucks to go on that.
Oh, God.
I'm not sure who enjoys those moments more.
Y'all or me?
That's so cleansing.
Oh, and he didn't have to leave his
Governaitin of Louisiana's job to do this one,
but, you know, nitwit Nero said that,
gut wet, New Orleans,
Louisiana,
governor Jeff Landry,
who's facing,
well,
they're trying to get a recall petition going.
I don't know how,
how it's,
half a million signatures in 90 days.
It's a tough order,
but fingers crossed,
but nonetheless,
Jeffrey felt comfortable,
jetting off to,
no, really,
Greenland.
dispatched to Greenland as a goodwill ambassador for Orange Julius Gaser.
He landed in Nook, the capital of Greenland, on Sunday.
He said, well, I'm here to make a bunch of friends.
Lazy le bontomp roulet share.
He said, you're going to make a bunch of friends.
It didn't take very long, however, for Jeff Landry.
to figure out that, you know, nobody was particularly happy to see him. He toured nuke in a cold,
soaking rain, and he brought boxes and boxes of maggot hats with him, and he was trying to
offer it to children. Why am I not surprised he was trying to offer it to children? None of whom
were willing to take the hats. And then he said, well, if y'all, if you all, if you're,
If y'all come and visit me at the governor's mansion in Louisiana, they're in Baton Rouge,
well, y'all can have all the chocolate chip cookies you can eat.
One Greenlander said, Hanan said, they should fix their own country first.
Her friend Vivi Nielsen said, they need to get out.
Yeah.
Make sure on the country.
Nah, just get out.
And the following day, the prime minister, Yen's Friedrich Nielsen, said,
We have our red lines, and no matter how many chocolate cookies we get, we're not going to change them.
And they're so tone-deaf and clueless that they're in Maggot World that they didn't realize that there are merchants in Greenland who are already making a good dollar,
selling red baseball caps that say make America go away.
And once again, he's trying to act like Greenland is subject to the laws of the United States, Trump is, and he wants a forever clause for the military bases, saying that American military forces would remain on the island even if Greenland becomes independent.
Landry brought an American doctor with him, too, to assess the medical system in Greenland.
And when you ask Greenlanders, well, why don't you want to be an American?
A lot of them answer because we don't have to go into life-ending debt to try to not have a disease end our lives.
That's why.
Ralph's adding.
And Jeff Landry thought bringing a Louisiana surgeon to Greenland to evaluate the medical situation would be helpful.
Yeah, I mean, that's a Louisiana surgeon.
That sounds like a euphemism for something nasty.
Like a guy up a bayou somewhere with a rosary and a dead chagin.
I reckon.
Yeah, that's your Louisiana surgeon there.
Not hating on the folks up the bayou, fine folks.
Just trying to make a little point there.
And I've seen videos lately.
I'm not going to try to dig one up, but, and I mention it, I've seen videos of people
saying, hey, Trump, where's my damn phone?
I ordered them a year ago.
And I ain't seen them yet.
I'm afraid I ain't gone.
I think you just took my money.
Well, it turns out maybe one of the reasons that Trump Mobile isn't coming out because Trump Mobile is a train wreck.
They've actually exposed customer information.
And a journalist named Coffeezilla, whose real name is Stephen Fendizzen, said that he had experienced, as a customer,
having his personal data exposed by a security flaw, including his mailing address and email.
He also said, I flagged this to them over and over and over again.
I get nothing.
So here, I'm going public.
We've received no response from the official team.
Now, imagine this.
I know we're a nation of some 350 million people.
But still, the fact that there are 500,000.
90,000 people who are nominally adults who pre-ordered the T-1 phone.
You know, when we started this radio program, we bought a portion of like a half of a T-1 line
because we wanted a static connection that would remain stable.
Of course, it never did.
It was the beginning of a long history of Internet service providers running under the
bed with every clap of thunder and shivering under there like a chihuahua trying to pass a peach
pet. But Coffeezilla said, yeah, 590,000 rubes. I mean, people pre-ordered the T-1. That came to about
$59 million in deposits. And, well, that was the number that was reported by Trump Mobile in
order to make itself seem successful. But according to Coffeezilla, it's more like 10,000 unique
customers and about 30,000 total orders. That works out to about 5% of the numbers that are otherwise
being touted out there by a credulous media. Going back to the Louisiana surgeon for just a moment,
Matt in San Francisco says Louisiana surgeon, not sure what it is, but I know you have to squeal
like a pig while a banjo plays in the background.
Sure do you got a pretty mouth.
Ned Beatty had the hardest part.
No more singing.
Ten bucks.
Ten bucks finishes Ralph's challenge.
So I promise.
We bring in the ten bucks.
I won't sing anymore.
Otherwise, you don't know what could happen next.
So the Associated Press got called on the carpet on it.
and their spokesperson said,
uh,
our,
our original stories never,
uh,
had any such number in it,
but somehow or another,
the AI chatbots.
Wait,
oh,
there's Jeff Bezos again.
Son of a bitch.
Isn't it fun how this,
how this works?
Yeah.
No,
I think AI is going to be great.
It's,
it's,
it's,
it's going to streamline productivity and,
and,
and,
and do things on a higher level.
Like,
make shit up.
Because that,
That's 590,000 pre-orders for T1 at $59 million has spread like wildfire through AI.
And it reminds me of something.
Way back in the heady days of early file sharing, remember Napster?
Anybody still remember Napster when it would take 20 minutes to download a three-minute song, that Napster?
and there was all kinds of fulmination all over the country.
Stealing music.
Okay.
Okay.
I understand that aspect of it.
But the thing is, way back when you could notice little anomalies.
For instance, I had a thing for downloading Jimmy Buffett songs.
And so I was quite surprised.
when I saw a download of Rupert Holmes's
Pena Colada song. You know the one. You know the one. But the Pena
Colada song was listed by some soul who uploaded it to Napster as being not by
Rupert Holmes, but by Jimmy Buffett. Now, I being a real
live, honest to God,
a member of the Church of Buffett
Orthodox,
immediately said,
that was not to mention a jock,
pro jock,
you know, DJ.
That's not Jimmy Buffett, that's Rupert Holmes.
But it didn't matter.
It kept replicating over and over and over again
as the Pena Colotta song by Jimmy Buffett.
I kind of wonder now if he ever actually
got wind of it and played it in a concert or something so that there could actually be a
recording of Jimmy Buffett doing the Pena Colada song. Well, that feels like a little microcosm
when I see this story here, but it's because of AI that Trump Mobile and its T1 phone
are said to have 590,000 pre-orders and 59 million in deposits when in fact
it's 10,000 unique customers and 30,000 total orders and more like $2.7 million.
Yeah.
AI did that.
And they launched it in 2025, and this is why the maggots are angry.
And they pushed back the release date.
They said it was November.
Then they said it would be December.
and then along comes 2026 and it just disappears from the website yeah and so trump mobile earlier this one said
oh we've we've finally begun shipping the uh shipping the t-one phone course they also said it would be made
in the usa it's not it's made in jana by an outfit called wing tech and they went from
saying made in the USA to designed with American values.
Well, if there's anything resembling a happy ending to this story,
it's that those computer geniuses at Trump Mobile finally closed the vulnerability
after everybody's data, after all the marks,
roofs, I mean, customers' data, had been, you know, banging around out in the,
out in the ethosphere.
and Cynthia points out
that's the AI feedback loop that
Josh Scott talked about
in his critique of chat GPT
in that YouTube video
I saw a little bit of it
I didn't get to finish it
I apologize
but
that's exactly
it's a feedback loop
and the thing with the thing
with feedback is that
it can start small but it just gets louder
and louder and bigger and bigger and bigger
and bigger we've dealt with a little
bit of that here from time to time, the audio version. And the only way to stop it is to shut down
what's creating the feedback. You can't ameliorate it away. Turns out to be quite a little analogy,
doesn't it? And I confess I always enjoy clips like this. In this case, it's Steve Schmidt
talking about the the blatant corruption that we now see in this godforsaken nightmare kleptocracy
how about that the flag on the back of the Trump phones only has 11 stripes
Victoria just told me that but in this clip I feel like Steve Schmidt may be whistling
past a graveyard? Donald Trump's corruption has become an open fire hydrant. There are no words
to describe it. Here is the Attorney General of the United States, Trump's former personal lawyer,
testifying before the Congress. What does that mean an independent authority? It means not somebody
who's getting to pick five of the members who is the president's former personal attorney.
That would be somebody who would be independent. I'm the acting attorney general, okay? The fact that I
used to be President Trump's lawyer is just a fact, but I'm the acting attorney general. So don't say
the president's former personal lawyer will do something. The acting attorney general will do something.
Mr. Attorney General, you are acting today like the president's personal attorney. And that's the
whole problem. You've got his whole, you have a whole banner of his face hanging over the
Department of Justice and you and everybody else walks under it. And you are acting like you're
his current personal attorney. Mr. Chairman, I have no further questions. It is remarkable.
Donald Trump has just been given more than $1.8 billion by his lawyer's signature,
who's now the Attorney General, creating a slush fund for extremists,
that Donald Trump can reward them, give them recompense, give them reparations.
What could they need reparations for?
The inconvenience of their prosecutions and their arrests for.
Yeah. Yeah. Or, and this wouldn't make it any better, they get well chumped. Hi, Reverbo. And they don't get shit. But Nitwit Niro just pockets the money. That's what he spent his entire damnable career doing. It's not like either outcome is acceptable. But here we are. But good, you know, good on Chris Van Hollen for standing up to that little punk-ass.
petty fogger it needed to be done oh what's this ralps this looks fun now this is a comedy bit
unboxing unboxing the ultra mega edition trump phone all right i'm too curious not to not to run this and
find out all right maga patriots check this out look what i got today it just came i've been waiting
all day for this i'm gonna go over it with you you know what this is it's the trump phone
in the box. We're going to go over this thing together and unbox it. Let's check it out.
Oh, I wasn't expecting this. Look at that. Whoa. Look at the gold on that thing.
It's Ultramaga edition. I didn't even learn it. I bet I got one of the kind. Look at that.
Let me get the camera up close. You all to sit.
It's a visual, but it's a cordless phone. Spray-painted gold. You know, from the early 90s.
Look at the detail on that thing.
Look at that.
Ultra Magna Edition.
Look at that.
Look at the gold.
It's even got one of them LED screens.
Boy, they put a lot of detail into that.
You know what? I'm even afraid to touch it.
Look that.
Look at the buttons.
The buttons are even colored.
What the fuck?
Trump has played MAGA again.
You mean to tell me y'all ain't tired of getting played?
All right, Maga, Patriots, check this out.
Okay, thanks Ralphs.
Thank you.
I name-checked him and he appears.
Reverbo says, I love Van Hollen.
Great that he became Senator while I was still living in Maryland.
We need more like him.
I would tend to agree.
And, of course, I name-checked Reverbo because
Reverbo was the one who came up with the term well-chumped.
Oh, so many years ago.
This program has flown by.
And of course, of course, yesterday I would be remiss if I did not note that yesterday the jihad against Thomas Massey bore full fruit.
He lost his primary.
And the goons over at APEC immediately took a victory lap saying,
pro-Israel Americans are proud to help defeat anti-Israel candidates being pro-Israel is good
policy and good politics they neglected to leave out that and just asked kirsten mansion
it's a good dollar that phrase from the late great prophet bill hicks peace be upon him
uh well someone responded or the quote tweeted that and said yeah being pro israel is such good
that it took $19 million, the sitting U.S. president, the sitting leader of the U.S. military,
and several billionaires all to beat a critic of Israel in Kentucky by 10,000 votes.
And, well, this is personal and kind of close to home, but I want to congratulate Ms. Terry down in,
down in Alabama, they're in lower Alabama.
Alabama had its primary
and she is now the
Democratic nominee
for Alabama House District
96 and I could not be
prouder of her
at some point soon we'll have her on the program
her maggot
her her maggot
opponent
has a war chest with some
$40,000 in it
being a Democrat, Ms. Terry of
course barely has enough money to well she can't have she she she doesn't have a pot to piss in
or a window to throw it out of and she's going to need a lot of help and it would be awesome if she
could because this woman is a loony woohoo i mean really the first thing i noticed and and it was
kind of an upset because this this maggot beat the maggot incumbent so that means she's even
further to the right she's a book burner she's a you know she's a brown skirt but this is the thing
that kind of caught me and made me go hmm her last name and she's married and has kids
which means this is her husband's name is dugger dugger you know same name as that
19 kids and counting program where at least two of those dougar boys have proven to be
groomers and sexual predators of their own sisters good idea steve miss terry gets a romola
rim shot damn straight now i'm not sure if she's the first trans woman to run uh to have a nomination
to run for the house but well
I'm mighty proud of her.
But the thing is, this woman, Danielle Dugger, claims to have a bachelor's degree and a master's degree.
The master's degree is in history.
She has worked of late as an ACT test prep teacher, and she got her bachelors from
the University of Maryland Global, I think, is what it was called, or what it.
In other words, she never actually darkened the doorway of an institution of higher learning.
But it's University of Maryland, so it's got to have some merit to it.
And then she got her history masters from somewhere called Norwich University,
whose name, I'll bet Jeremy recognizes.
They've got a brick and mortar campus.
They're one of, if not the oldest military schools in the country,
but they've also got an online presence, and they gave her a master's degree,
and I can't wait to find out what her thesis was.
But, yeah, she's a real Lulu.
One of her postings reads,
Your child is worth it.
You research car seats.
You research milestones.
Go research vaccines.
And she describes herself, and I noticed earlier today that it's a spreading phenomenon.
The maggots, maggot political candidates have been instructed to refer them to themselves as proponents of medical freedom.
I know.
The irony is absolutely gobsmacking because, of course, Danielle Dugger here.
She's also pro fetus, and she thinks that the government should make.
decisions about women's bodies for women, which
Alabama has done with extreme prejudice.
So they're not anti-vaxxers anymore.
They are medical freedom advocates.
I guess she's a raw milk drinker because back in February of
2025, she was posting,
U.S. Senate Finance Committee voted 1413 to confirm
RFK Jr. continue to call your two U.S. senators until the Senate floor vote next week.
Oh, God. And she will have enough money to burn a sop and wet herd of
soap and wet elephants with soap and wet $100 bills. But the messages and the times may actually
be on Ms. Terry's side. I hope it is. She'd be great there in that.
embarrassing tree house that passes for a legislature down in
Alabama.
Steve says,
pro fetus,
let's stop calling them that and just starting to start calling them anti-child.
Yeah.
How about anti-woman?
Women can be anti-woman too.
There's plenty of fetus fetishists among the two-X chromosome crowds out there.
Yeah.
and uh nitwit nero attacked massy before the before the just before the polls were set to close
horrible congressman thomas massey put out an old endorsement for many years ago of him by me
long before i found out that he was the worst congressman in the history of our country
really the worst everything has to be a maximum maximal with this goon
give me a chance that I can think of several congressmen who are significantly worse than Massey
which is not to say that he's not a horrible Republican.
I endorse Ed Galrime, a true American patriot which Massey knows full well,
so the statements that he put out is fraudulent, just like he is fraudulent,
withdraw your fake statement, Massey, right now, President Donald J. Trump.
Yeah, keep poking, dipshit.
he's got several months left in the Congress in which to make your life absolutely
god-dammed miserable and I hope he does stoke the stroke
um ralps telling me that Massey clapped back at um you know one of the maggots
Indiana Congress in Indiana maggot Aaron Houchin
who also backed Ed Galrine,
said,
Happy to deliver the news to President Donald Trump
the results from the Kentucky primary
in his defeat of Thomas Massey.
Galrine said,
well done, King Trump,
congratulations, Ed Galrine.
No, she posted that.
Aaron Houchin.
Massey simply replied,
five words.
How do his boots,
taste. How indeed. Enjoy that shit sandwich. You're going to be eating it. Yeah, Steve noting
being pro A-PAC, those checks clear real good. Yeah, Ralph, I saw that, I saw her Facebook campaign page.
It's interesting, though, because she doesn't talk much about her husband, whose last name is
Dugger. Either he's related to those Arkansas Duggers, and she doesn't want to acknowledge
it or he isn't and she doesn't want people thinking about that I'd love to I'd love to
track down the connection see if there is one and I really really really want to
read that master's thesis because I've got a couple of PhD folks who know a little
history that I'd love to have read it and see if it actually passes anything
resembling muster or is it a master's degree that she got because she paid
the money from the correspondence school that she heard about on the back of a book of matches.
So that's the program.
Thanks, everybody.
Again, we got $10 to go to meet Ralph's challenge.
It'll be really helpful.
Get down to 3555.
Fingers crossed.
Thanks to each and every one of you who share your precious finite time engaging in the program in whatever manner you choose.
