Pavel Chekhov has accessed your web page. A certain Camel Cardinal likes to do things like that just to make sure folks are paying attention. Yes, it does.

You're absolutely right. For the have a show and two-thirds on me. Yeah, one of these. A ginormous Ramalama Ding-Dong. You're absolutely right. Lee, thank you. with a reminder. And, well, let me, I'm just looking here real quick, checking, making sure I didn't miss

anything rolling through on the, in the email earlier today. No, I didn't. So, at any rate, we've got a lot to talk about this Friday on the front porch. And let's start with the password, shall we? Boxers or boxer. I don't know if it's boxers or briefs, but ah, you can't make this up. It's Friday. We need a little giggle.

Down in North Carolina, there's a little hamlet there called Mooresville, M-O-R-E-I-L-E, where they have a maggot mayor. Yeah? And, well, being a maggot

he of course is interesting his name is Chris Carney and while the story actually occurred in 2024 it got legs and it

won't go away by the way Moresville calls itself Rice City USA because they're really really really into cars that go fast and turn left they've got some sort of long affiliation

with NASCAR. The Wall Street Journal picked up this story earlier today. I don't know, slow news day there at Roe P's Old Straight Channel. It turns out that three former employees of the town of Moresville are suing the, well, the city and some of its officials. because they tried to preserve video footage and do a little investigating because the aforementioned mayor of Mooresville, Chris Carney,

and my, what a hunk of hunk of burning love he is, well, Mayor Carney back in 2024 was caught in the town hall there uh inflagrante delicto which in this case is latin for without pants on he'll be mayor until 27 but yeah it was 2024 when uh someone um found mayor carney and a local lady journalist um in the town hall together after ours. You gotta haul out your Andy Griffith accent for this one, after ours. And, well, Mayor Carney didn't have no pants.

And no one really knows where those pants are to this day. Because Maga. You know, Maga, only Sanculot. That's French for with us. out pants, I think. Mm-hmm. And people are trying to get Carney out of office. I can understand why.

Hoo-hoo! Mm. Saw his photo again. Sound of slamming doors. And the thing is, there's a... There is. There's a video. It's video of it.

Not that Mayor Carney, good maggot that he is, wouldn't like to make it go away. Because that's why the story won't go. away. Mayor Carney apparently and some of his cronies, presumably wearing pants, have harassed city employees for trying to preserve the video

because there's video. Commissioners in Mooresville, North Carolina passed a no-confidence vote earlier this month, encouraging Mayor Carney to quit and take his pants with him if he knows where they are. And last week, a judge ordered the town to release the video, and the town, where Carney is, of course, still mayor,

tried to head that off at the past by filing an appeal day before yesterday. And the town is absolutely a buzz. Commissioner Eddie Dingler, really, speaking to the Wall Street Journal said, you know, it never goes away. It's distracting. I'd say so. 71-year-old retired UPS driver, Dave Holmick,

speaking to the Wall Street Journal, said, it's an insult to the city. He put himself in that position. He's got to pay the price. It's just kind of, maybe they know more than they let on to the Wall Street Journal. I haven't seen any other reporting on exactly what position he was in, just rather a matter of his patslessness, which he describes as an innocent visit to town hall.

And he said he was having a bad reaction to alcohol and medication that eventually made him vomit, and he done took in his pants off to clean them. You know what a bad reaction to alcohol is otherwise known? Yeah, wasted. Oh, dear God, make this stop. I ain't got nothing left to throw up. But my balls are a lot.

Sorry, I know. This is fapid and vacuous, but it's Friday, and we wander through these god-forsaken swamps of filth and corruption and degradation. and once in a while, I think we get to just sit back and laugh at a maggot mayor who was found without his paints. The thing is, though, I mean, anybody who hasn't seen the video is asking the obvious question, and hence the password, boxers or briefs, or I suppose, commando, who we? Yeah, what's that bit from Saturday Night Lives of Old? It was one of the Sprockets bits with Mike Myers,

and in this case, Dana Carvey playing James Stewart, Jimmy Stewart. And Carvey did a great Jimmy Stewart, speaking to Mike Myers' Dieter character. It reminds me the time we were in, Mexico. I'd been living with this 16-year-old prostitute drinking this stuff called

Chow Chow. When I woke up in a puddle of my own sack, I called this poem Rocking Chair, My Rocking Chair. Oh, well. Not the burning issue of the day, but, well, Never mind.

Shame on me. I guess. I don't know. He's got to pay. I love that line. They done it, and he's got to pay. Get a rope. Ah, yeah.

On a not nearly as funny basis, well... Oh, dear. Royce White, whom we have mentioned in the past, former not real great NBA player is apparently a gift that keeps on giving in Minnesota politics. He is, of course, a maggot. And the Minnesota Star Tribune reported, quote, Judge Kristen Martilla issued an order in February, an order that he have no contact with his wife.

and their son, and wrote that White's ex-wife, who divorced him in 2015 and lived with him from 2022 until August of last year, gets a little confusing, is utterly at a loss for how else to gain peace from him. This is the third protective order that White's ex-wife has obtained against him, but the first time he's been ordered to stay away from his son. They also share a daughter together, who he is allowed to continue seeing.

Oh, dear. and so the protective order is for two years based on allegations that he routinely abused her and their son she said it's been escalating towards me and our children making me scared for all of our safety the Minneapolis paper said she said white threatened her in public hit her in private and traumatized their children with his behavior

Judge Martilla found that several of the allegations were true, including incidents where White abused his son at high school basketball practice. Jesus. And the guy is a real Lulu. The last we heard of him was 2024 when he was running against Amy Klobuchar. At one point. I mean, the stupid is funny. The domestic abuse is not, but it's hard not to giggle.

when, among other things, he posted a map of drinking fountains, water fountains in Minneapolis, claiming it was a map of hot spots for crime. Yeah. Well, Tina Smith is retiring from the Senate, and she's a Democrat. The two people with the greatest likelihood of getting in are the two Democrats, Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan and Representative of Angie Craig, who were both vying for the nomination. Why? Why are these maggot men this way? Well, I suspect that it has something to do with the autocratic nature of the maggot structure. Lee in New York said, bad reaction to alcohol, I forget, is the correct term connected to Kavanaugh, Patel,

or Hegseth. Yeah. Mayor Carney, too, now. And in fact, the brutal mocking of Trash Patel, FBI director, has risen to the level that bless his heart, even Chris Hayes,

made mention of the allegations of what an absolute drunk trash Patel is so much so that in last night's edition of All In, he opened with it. As scrutiny mounts on Donald Trump's hand-picked FBI director Cash Patel,

some people have started calling him, not me, Jay, Edgar Boozer. We're getting stunning new reporting in the New York Times. The Bureau launched investigation into one of the Times' own reporters last month after she broke a story about Patel, quote, using Bureau personal to provide his girlfriend with government security and transportation.

The FBI told the Times response, quote, while investigators were concerned about how the aggressive reporting techniques crossed lines of stalking, the FBI is now pursuing a case. After the story broke, Cash Patel went on Fox News to get himself hantitized. Well, that sure doesn't sound like you. I'm reading that they're going after you, that you use the FBI because you didn't like a story about your girlfriend. And is there any truth of that?

Because I've known you a long time. It just doesn't sound like you. Absolutely not. The reality isn't, thanks, Sean, is that this same reporter delivered a baseless story, which caused a direct threat of life to my girlfriend. We are going to protect not only me and my loved ones, but every American that is threatened. Christopher O'Hillary is an MSN, now National Security Intelligence Analyst, serves as an FBI special agent for many years.

He joins me now. It's good to have you here. So first, just the sort of substance of reporting here is, there's reporting on the fact that Patel is, you know, using Bureau resources and the plane, right, to have his girlfriend travel, to travel to be with her. And then the New York Times reports that the reporter who wrote that was then investigated within the FBI for possible criminal stalking charges until people either inside the DOJ or FBI were like, you can't do this. What's your reaction on that? The reaction is this was most certainly a directive from FBI headquarters.

There's no special agent in the field that's going to initiate this investigation on their own. Number one, special agents who join the FBI, join it because it's a vocation. It's not a profession. It's a calling. It's something that they do for the country. And they swear to protect and defend the Constitution, not violate some basic concepts of freedom of the press or freedom of speech, which Director Patel seems to do comfortably. The other issue is if an agent in a field office would have opened this investigation, it would not have gotten past their chief division counsel. It never would have gotten to DOJ. Right. So.

Right. It must have come from the top down. 100%. And the other issue that he's having is this is not the New York Times, the only people are reporting this information. This story has been out there. He has acknowledged that she has a security detail, which is completely inappropriate. And frankly, it's fraud, waste, and abuse of government resources.

We're in tax season now. Our taxpayer dollars for four specialization. agents to pay for their billet, their salary, administrative costs and operational costs, they're GS-13. So it's roughly $250,000 apiece. So just for four incredibly capable agents are dedicated to this. We're talking a million-dollar baseline, but also at what cost, what are they not working? What are the other national security priorities that the FBI is supposed to be dedicated to and these resources of being, you know, used to protect his girlfriend. Listen, she might have threats against her. Yeah. And I'm sympathetic to the fear of that for sure.

Higher private security. It's not a spouse. She doesn't live in the same city, doesn't live in the same state. Right. And at the end of the day, he's abusing his 15 minutes of fame. Yeah, it's a good point that the underlying facts here are that there is a FBI detail that he's acknowledged. And also that she's been flying on the plane. He's been flying on the plane, which, again, is just publicly available information if you have the tail number of plane. Like, that's also not a fabricated. Now, the other reporting that we've had that has him in trouble is from that Blockbuster Atlantic story. Patel has said it's, not only has said it's false, he's sued for defamation. He's seeking $250 million in compensation. One of the, and again,

he says it's complete. Yeah, that part we're pretty much up to speed on. But I can't help wondering, you know, who was it the other day? Oh, yeah, Laura Looney, who got, her case bounced out of court because the federal judge noted that she hadn't provided any any supporting evidence of reputational harm

or loss of income or anything like that. And I wonder if this terrible, bad, really no good, awful pettigur that Trash Patel has, I wonder if

I wonder if he's planning on pulling together any evidence or no no no what are I talking about that would be real lawyering this guy's a pettifogger there's he just expects like I

noted before that the Atlantic will roll over and say well we don't want to make daddy dad's daddy mad so we'll just give him a quarter of a million dollars okey dokey and then you know trash Patel can quit his job and

I don't know how How long will a quarter of a million, or quarter of a billion, not quarter of a million? How long will a quarter of a billion dollars last in terms of keeping his can't-re-music star girlfriend happy? As Lee pointed out, his girlfriend, her safety is at such high risk. She's been moved to an undisclosed airplane. Release all the Epstein files. Yes, release them all. Jay Edgar Boozer.

And while it's a matter of a visual, and that means talking about it on the radio is like dancing about architecture, well, let's dance. I ran across something earlier. I reposted it on Blue Sky, if you want to go and find it. A picture of the dudes who were in the cabinet dudes, who, you know, every time I say dude, You know who I hear? I hear Lee Marvin. I hear Lee Marvin in the 1962 classic, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Let's see here, dude.

I can't do a Lee Marvin. Nasty. I mean, just classic villain. But the dudes and, you know, Dr. Oz and Howard Nutlick and Whalehead, Dead Bear, Vash, Bear, brainworm lamprey and a couple other weirdos all gathered around behind trump yes the image has been modified it has but not that much but nitwit nero's just sound asleep and walled over uh in his chair there and uh someone on blue sky named jesse hawkins said this looks like

those old west photos of the texas rangers posing with the corpse of the outlaw they killed I shared that with joy And she immediately discorporated Yeah Hey, we got to laugh I'm sorry, we just do, we got to laugh Because if we don't, well You know

But one of the things that They're getting, moving away from the From the decidedly Unserious Stuff the comedic stuff, if you will. Well, how about this? I ran across this

just after airtime last night. And lo and behold, it has to do with old balls and strikes John Roberts. You remember, yeah, the Chief Justice who perjured himself in his confirmation hearing back in, what, 2004? After William Rehnquist had shuffled off this mortal coil and gone to his long home.

I hear they call that long home hell. Yeah. Well, we know, for those of us who have familiarized ourselves with the long and sleazy career of old balls and strikes, we know that he's corrupt. What are you going to say about somebody who cuts their legal teeth in their first government job trying to make it harder for people, particularly people of color, to vote in this country.

But it's so much worse than that. You know, we were disgusted, outraged when we found out about Clarence Pubes on the Coke Can Fappy Thomas and his dear, dear friendship with, Har Har and Leigh, Har Har Crow and Leigho, and how Har Har Haraw would take Fap and Jin Jin on wildly expensive vacations because they were such good friends. Well, it turns out that this whole time, going all the way back to 2004, old balls and strikes has been raking it in pretty good.

and it turns out he's another one of those that when the time comes that he himself shuffles off this mortal coil, they'll have to go to an equipment rental center and get an auger to screw him into the dirt because he's too crooked to Barry laying down. A substack article by Christopher Armitage, the Existentialist Republic, notes the Chief Justice and his wife took $20 million from firms he rules on I'm filing for his disbarment

today well you go for it Mr. Armadage he writes over 16 years of federal financial disclosure forms Chief Justice John Roberts mischaracterized more than $20 million in

household income from law firms appearing before the Supreme Court he concealed his wife's equity stake in her employer for three consecutive years he failed to recuse for more than 500 cases argued at the Supreme Court by law firms that had paid his household millions in commissions god damn who knew that the chief justice of the Supreme Court of the United States worked on commissions so gone good work if you can get it i reckon

he failed to recuse from yeah he architected the court's first ethics code and designed it to be unenforceable

this is a course of conduct stretching across two decades connected by a single through line the belief that the rules that apply to every other federal judge do not apply to him Christopher Arndage cites 28 U.S.C. Section 455

that applies, he notes, to every federal judge, including his honor the chief justice, and said that there are three subsections, and only one of which will trigger a recusal. He explains, subsection A says a judge shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned, That's the appearance of impropriety standard. There does not have to be any actual bias, but merely the perception thereof.

Well, you couldn't perceive any bias, because I hid it. I hid the money. Then there's section B4 that says he should disqualify himself where, quote, he or his spouse or a minor child residing in his household has a financial interest in the subject matter in controversy or in a party to the proceeding or any other interest that could be. substantially affected by the outcome. Yeah. Then there's a judge shall disqualify

where a spouse is known by the judge to have an interest that could substantially be substantially affected by the outcome of the proceeding. That subsection covers situations where the financial interest runs through the spouse rather than through the judge directly. For instance, recently

we have seen, of all people, Sammy Badbreath recused from cases in which he or his wife had a stock position in one of the companies. He is, Roberts, that is, in a word, dirty as hell.

And Mr. Armitage refers to Bennett Gershman, who's an ethics professor at Pace Law School. Oddly enough, that's where, at one point in time, whalehead, dead bear, Vosh Bear, brainworm lamprey ran, I think, the legal clinic.

Well, we're not going to let that prejudice us against Pace. And he said that even under the narrowest reading of financial interest, a reasonable person knowing the law firm had paid Jane Roberts, hundreds of thousands of dollars in commissions, would question John Roberts' impartiality in a case the firm argued before him. He's a crook.

And there's a whistleblower involved. Kendall Price, the former managing director at Major Lindsay and Africa, the legal recruiting firm where Jane Sullivan Roberts worked from 2007 to 2014. Price filed a federal complaint in December 2022 with the House and Senate Judiciary Committees and the Department of Justice. He attached internal company spreadsheets, his own sworn affidavit, Jane Roberts' 2015 arbitration testimony, and Gershman supporting legal memoranda.

This court is... Not dirty. This court is filthy, disgusting, corrupt. To the point of making the word corrupt seem wholly ineffective and meaningless. Let's see. Jane Roberts earned $10,323,842. And 70 cents. in commissions over seven years on $13,309,433

in attributed firm revenue. She was the highest earning recruiter in the entire company by a wide margin. She got a job for former Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to Wilmer Hale. She got a job for Robert Bennett at Hogan Lovells. Former U.S. Attorney Neil McBride went to Davis Polk, New York Federal Reserve General Counsel Michael Held went to Wilmer Hale,

and she placed lawyers, she testified, at up to $3 million a year. Then, damningly, a former MLA managing partner, the firm where Jane Roberts worked, said when asked by Politico, that he had hired Jane Roberts because he hoped to benefit it from her being the chief justice's wife. And as Armitage points out, this goes across the entire docket of the Supreme Court. And let's see, Seth Waxman of Wilmer Hale,

aforementioned, has argued more than 85 Supreme Court cases across his career. Hogan Lovels argued eight Supreme Courts in 2024 alone. he's represented nearly 10% of the court's entire docket in recent court terms. All told, over the time, the 22 or thereabouts years, that old balls and strikes has been on the court, well, firms paying his household and commissions

have appeared more than, 500 times in 500 cases before him. And not once, not even once, has he recused. Jane Roberts left that firm previously, MLA, and moved to the McCray firm. She opened the Washington office of the firm, and since 2015, not a penny of her earnings,

which I'm sure are quite, substantial have ever been reported in any ethics disclosure. This is repulsive. And I assume because he is so prominent on the Senate committee

on the judiciary, I assume that Sheldon White House has seen this. What I'd like to know is why this isn't being shouted from the rooftops. And by the way, it's not just ho-hom, no harm, no foul.

The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is arguably a criminal, a crook. Willful false disclosure is a civil violation that can cost you up to $50,000, whereas knowingly making false statements on a statement to the federal government is a felony that can get you five years in the federal Grey Bar Hotel. And every one of these laws applies to that crooked old

bastard at the head of the Supreme Court of the United States. Who we discussed earlier this week, I believe, as having eagerly abused what is

commonly referred to as the shadow docket to do the bidding of corporate litigants before the court. Who knows, maybe one of which, or several of which, were represented by firms that were

actively providing money to the Roberts' household. It's just a little cabin in the woods. There's old CJ out there in the morning, his brow dripping and his his biceps rippling as he splits wood in the morning to keep the far going through the cold, cold, I presume Maryland winters. And so, well, hopefully Armitage's hearing, or his complaint, bar complaint,

at least gets treated with the gravity that it deserves. and it even extends further back than his tenure on the court. Armitage notes, in December 2000, Roberts flew to Tallahassee at his own expense and met privately with Governor Jebja Bush to advise on the governor's role in assigning Flora does electors to George W. Nobody disclosed the meeting during his 2005 confirmation hearings. A December 2000 email from Bush to Roberts, which surfaced. a decade later through the governor's gubernatorial correspondence, thanked him for his input in this unique and historic situation.

The advice concerned scenarios in which the Republican-controlled legislature could assign electors directly bypassing the popular vote and the ongoing recount. The guy is just repulsive. The more so because he sits there with some sort of look of stayed stodgy neutrality, which we all know is a fraud. Armitage

notes that the D.C. Bar accepts disciplinary complaints from any member of the public against any of its admitted attorneys. John G. Roberts, Jr. is admitted to the D.C. bar and I'm filing a complaint against him today after this article goes live. The complaint alleges that Roberts violated

D.C. Rule of Professional Conduct 8.4. C across 16 annual federal financial disclosure filings from 2007 through 2022 by mischaracterizing, holy shit, what a number, by mischaracterizing at least $10,323,842, and there's those 70 cents again. In documented commission income from law firms appearing before the court as salary, with unreported commission income across an additional eight filings from 2015 through 2,000, 2022, estimated at a floor of $11.8 million. Jesus. And we wonder why the American people have no confidence whatsoever in the Supreme Court.

And, of course, Roberts being as dirty as he is, he's certainly not going to lift a finger to his other dirty colleagues on the court. Fappy. Sammy Bad Breath. beer boofing brat and his law clerks squee and quefe and that little old mortgage

that just got made to disappear and that little old credit card debt that just got made to disappear and those little old baseball ticket debts and hot dogs and whatnot and beer all this beer that were made to disappear all made to disappear

most likely almost certainly by none of other than that dear, dear, dear friend of Clarence Pubes on the Coke Can Faffy Thomas, namely Leonard Leo. Armitage suggests people send a letter to the D.C. Bar Office of Disciplinary Council at 515 Fifth Street, Northwest, Building A, Room 117, Washington, D.C. 2,000, 2001.

No, 2. A lot of zeros there. They kind of run together. 2.001. Now, two, uh-huh. And in your own words, complain to the bar that Chief Justice John G. Roberts

am mischaracterized, or, you know, lied about his wife's income by failing to disclose it and didn't recuse himself for more than 500 cases. that the very rules themselves suggest he had a legal obligation to recuse himself from. My God, root and branch, root and branch. What's that, Emilio?

Five years? Robin, Robin. Crimes are just for the little people. Yeah, it's like the guy yesterday, the master sergeant who cleared a cool $400,000 on a $32,000 bed on the arrest, I'm sorry, abduction, of Nicholas Maduro. He doesn't get to do those things. His betters, on the other hand, like old balls and strikes, well, that's just, uh,

oh, it's just business, Muffy, just business. And just because someone has paid my family doesn't mean I'm necessarily going to rule in their favor. You know what would be interesting? A statistical analysis of those 500 cases. And which way he ruled? anybody want to bet that it will be overwhelmingly in favor of well his financial benefactors well not to worry no no because as of today acting attorney general Todd Blanchie

that noble pleader so qualified and so good that he got his own client the current president of the United States hung out to dry for 34. That's 34 felonies related to nitwit Niro's abject corruption and sexual abuse. Yeah. Today, Todd Blanchie announced, Oh, the prior administration failed in its duty. He said duty. to protect the American people by refusing to pursue and carry out the ultimate punishment

against the most dangerous criminals, including terrorists, child murderers, and cop killers. Under President Trump's leadership, the Department of Justice is once again enforcing the law and standing with victims. What he was getting at is that he's saying that the Department of Justice will pursue executions by firing squad. Huh. Yeah. Curiously, there was no hue and cry for firing squads.

I suspect the real problem here is that horizontal crucifixion has proven to be problematic, to say the least, because, well, horizontal crucifixion, you require drugs that most of the manufacturers, now will not provide to any political entity seeking to use them to murder people in the name of the state. At least, well, at least we know it's there if certain convictions ever, you know, you know, come down. Do they still put the little red spot over the heart for the firing squad to aim at? I don't know But I don't know

Does Todd Blanchie Want to pull the trigger too? Ralph's asking So does Todd Blanchie want to execute the SPLC The Southern Poverty Law Center? Yeah, that's been Taking up a lot of pixels lately It's just a lawsuit against the SPLC

And God knows they've been sued Over and over and over and over and over again Because they are a thorn in the side of bigots and racists and homophobes and transphobes and xenophobes and every other kind of odious right-wing P-O-S. But to answer your question, Ralph, I'm sure he'd love to because it would make his orange daddy so, so happy. The courts corruptly, and New York simply observes, it's not a bug, it's featured. Uh-huh. Oh, and we talked about Trash Patel earlier.

Well, this is interesting. Trash apparently is not pure as the driven snow. And as we've noted in the past, there's nothing quite like discovery to take the starch out of a $250 million lawsuit. Uh-oh. Trash Patel, by his own admission, has been arrested twice after consuming way too much hooch. Records from the Miami-Dade Public Defender's Office, where he worked back in 2005, were released by the Intercept today. There's a letter in there that Trash wrote to himself, or wrote by himself.

at the behest of his employer at the time, Miami-Dade Public Defender's Office. He said in 2001 at the University of Richmond, he was escorted out of a basketball arena for excessive cheering and, well, you know, public drunkenness. And here's the best part. This is the director of the FBI. He was underage at the time.

He wasn't 21 yet. he was convicted on the misdemeanor and paid a fine. And then again, well, in 2005, he was in New York City and said that he spent the evening, well, I guess you could say doing a pub crawl through a few of the local bars there in Gotham. And as is the case, well, you know the old saying. You don't so much buy beer as rent it. You drink it in one place and relieve yourself of it somewhere else. In this case, in what Patel described as a gross deviation from appropriate conduct,

well, he did some public urinating. But before he could finish peeing, an NYPD roller showed up and he had to tuck it away and that's awful hard to hold and got arrested and paid a fine in the letter he wrote he assured the Florida Bar that both in its incidents

are not representative of my usual conduct of behavior you think that's going to come up in a zealous and vigorous defense against the lawsuit and now that they know it exists, well, during discovery, do you think that the defense counsel for the Atlantic will, oh, bear down on that as evidence of his significant drinking problem?

Oh, no, I quit in 2005. Oh, did you? And then that's where the little discovery harp just killed. keeps arpeggiating. Uh-huh. Note coming in from Cynthia in the Bay Area. Just how bad is Chat GPT? Josh Scott of JHS pedals puts it to the test on the history of guitar pedals. She says the video is about 30 minutes long and worth the watch.

Josh is an expert on guitar pedal history and fully knows the answers to every question he put to chat gp t and over and over again chat gpt gets it wrong and even worse will not provide the source for any info it presents even though josh asks it over and over and over again to do so and while i do not know his politics i've been watching his videos for the past several years and he's a straight shooter who tries to get everything right he has my respect and i like his humor too and full disclosure back when i said i was busy and had to go eat dinner and stuff i pinched that from and I hope you get a chance to watch it. I'll give it a...

I will. I'll give it a watch, perhaps, this evening. Well, that's true. Sylvie says, Todd Blanche will have to push his way past Whiskey Pete Kegbreath if he wants to shoot someone. Earlier today, it sounded like Whiskey Pete did, in fact, want to shoot someone. Sylvie says, never fear, I'm going to use a debt consolidation program. I'm not too far in the red and I'm being proactive, canceling my two credit cards and getting things taken care of,

but the two top expenses are my rent paying the debt consolidation company and the monthly donation to the horn. It's not much, but it stays. And the Latin you're looking for is captus en flagrato sinebracus. That does seem like, yeah, otherwise known as without no pants on. Yeah, exactly, Ralphs. Like cash drinking with the U.S. hockey team in February? Yeah, I think, well, this is just technical, but in a defamation case, such as the one filed by Trash Patel's really bad, no good, awful, terrible, pettifogger, according to the holding from New York Times v. Sullivan and its progeny,

the courts are to take a favorable view of disposal of such cases by summary judgment what is that rule 53 of the federal rules of civil procedure and that's where viewing the evidence of the plaintiff in the light most favorable to the plaintiff

if there is no issue of material fact or law goodbye goes by-bye goes the lawsuit and I have a feeling this this one this one may get bounced before it even gets there this may get bounced on rule you know rule 12 yeah excessive cheering the camel cardinal brother deacon ace that says cash spelled with a dollar sign Patel was removed from a game for excessive cheering and public drunkenness otherwise known as oh this is good Patel's cash and carry me home. Yeah. Yeah, I saw the Sanquilat thing, Flavio. And Randy Radar points out, chat GPT is junk for the same $20 price for month. A user can subscribe to Perplexity Pro

and have access to all the mid-priced AI models. Thank you, Steve. Thank you, Steve, in New York. It's Rule 56, not Rule 53. Yeah, Rule 12 is, Ralph's, Rule 12 is a motion to dismiss early on the, early on in the legal process. Thanks, Steve. Thanks, Ralph's. My email is behaving strangely. That's okay. We'll get, we'll get past it. No, I said Whiskey Pete was feeling mighty butch.

at a press conference It's really not that important, Flavio, it's just not, funny. No, he had a press conference today, and apparently someone asked him about his really awesome, super-duper, excellent war against the people of Iran and oh oh he got mad firing squad mad called people pharisees and whatnot he learned that from that preacher in Idaho that's a weirdo who thinks

women shouldn't be able to vote who showed courage who were out there exposed knew there was a threat nebulous mission the only gate that's open did not receive the kind of proper recognition they should have for their heroism so one of the early results of this afghan review is to ensure they get the due recognition and award they deserve for the heroism and courage they showed at that gate. Despite the bad decisions of this building and that administration, those Marines acted heroically, and we're going to recognize them for that. Sherry, thank you. Yeah, right here. Thank you. Michael Casey with Oakeefe Media Group. Earlier this week, James O'Kee published a story on Department of Army nuclear chief Andrew

hug, who revealed top secret national security information to a stranger he met on a dating app. James O'Kee, if that should immediately make all of our pink little ears perk right up. He's a fraud merchant. Will you defer Mr. Hugg for termination and prosecution? Yeah, he won't work here anymore. And given the revelations, will... Is it an easy one. Will any change to be made to the current anti-espionage training for all Department of War employees now, given this?

Well, we're always on the lookout for CI threats, any internal threats, anyone talking out of school about things they should not. We take leaking... And by the way, that person asking the question is sort of a pet, a sock puppet, if you will, for Whiskey Pete. Very seriously here, informally or formally, which is why some of the reporting done by some of the people in here is incredibly problematic. They're willing to publish things based on classified information that would potentially harm those in harm's way, and we think them doing so is incredibly irresponsible and unpatriotic. And it would encourage members of the press to think twice about the lives that are affecting when they publish things in their publications like the New York Times.

Yes, right here. Was the Tuesday carrying the use equipment to China? Sir, I'm sorry, the question's right here. Thank you. Ryan Morgan with the Epic Times earlier this week on that. Oh my, the Epic Times. This is going to be a doozy. topic there was a report i believe with the washington post that the pentagon had briefed congress that it could take up to six months to fully sweep the straight-of-form moves for mines i was wondering if you could comment a little bit more on the specifics of the time

now to be fair i read the same story and i think it was six weeks not six months but i could be wrong timeline the range of time that it could take and then just a general idea of how many minds have been placed. We would not speculate on a timeline. I saw that report. It was based on, again, another leak from a closed-door session, which was supposed to be classified. And apparently, allegedly, that was something that was said about we feel confident in our ability in the correct period of time to clear any minds that we identify. And we would encourage other countries to be a part of such an effort as well. but we're tracking that very closely. Mr. Chairman, do you want to add anything to that? No, sir.

I think you covered it. Right here. You've been watching a briefing from the Pentagon Defense. Jesus. He really is a prickly little asshole, isn't he? He won't work here anymore. That's an easy one. You numb skulls?

And he didn't say CIA threats, as the transcript indicates. I think he said CI threats. I didn't hear the letter A. So some of the reporting done by some of the people in here You know, that's how you can tell he worked at Fox That's straight out of the Fox News TV Radio Rwanda style book Some of the reporting done by some of the people in here is incredibly problematic It is incredibly problematic

Yes In other words, they're lost No, we wouldn't speculate on a timeline on getting them minds out of the way. But we don't know how many of they got. He's clueless. I don't know. Are he in Trash Patel drinking buddies? Stephen New York points out, DoD is leaking like a sieve and he can't stand it.

And it's probably leaking like a sieve because, well, the real threat to national security is the DUI hire, Whiskey Pete Tegbreath. I wonder how many times he's leaked and... Oh, wait, no, that was Trash Patel, the dumpster with the... Never mind. I wonder why he didn't have to... 2005, was that so far back that we weren't registering drunk dude bros who got caught pissing on dumpsters as... Sex offenders?

Because I know other people have had that done to them. I've run across those stories on multiple occasions. But speaking of Pentagon links, oh, here's one. According to the Daily Beast yesterday, a leaked Pentagon memo says that when King Chuck comes over, no, really, King Chuck, stay home. You don't want to come here. And, you know, keep Camilla with you as well.

but he wants to potentially embarrass Nero wants to potentially embarrass King Chuck by asking him if the UK really should control the Falklands Oh, what's there, what's it, what is it, what are the, what are the Argentines call it? Yeah, and apparently this is some petty

payback for the fact that, the Prime Minister of Mary Oldie Engelonde wouldn't send His Majesty's ships or whatever to help clear the Strait of Hormuz. Don't know why sailors in His Majesty's Navy should be required to help clean up the mess that Nittuette Nero started, but here we are. The Daily Beast also pointed out that, well, that sexual predator, the baby bird, brother of King Chuck, namely Prince Andy, no longer a prince, actually fought in the Falklands War

as a helicopter pilot. Yeah. And it's a nasty piece of petty. I yes. The Melvinas. Thank you, Emilio. I appreciate that.

I thought it was that, but yeah. And let's remember, nitwit Niro is bosom buddies now with that weirdo who's running Argentina. Is he still running Argentina? But even more so, the leaked memo says that Nitwit Nero and his

creeps want to throw Spain out of NATO for not doing Daddy's orange bidding. Also in the leaked memo, as Steve in New York noted, Pentagon

leaking like a sieve, uh the uh the u k has gotten wind of some of this filth and the liberal democrats the liberal democratic party in the u.k is imploring king chuck to cancel the visit sir ed davy the leader of the liberal democratic party speaking to the daily beast said any move by the president to question our sovereignty in the falklands should be met by a robust denouncement Trump is an unreliable damaging president who can't keep insulting our country. What was he saying the other day that, Well, if I was to fix the UK, what they got to do is get rid of those goddamn windmills and drill baby drill in the North Sea. One trick pony, honest, T. P.

But we're several, well, we're nearly 20 minutes into the second hour of the program. Let's go over the river and through the woods to the old holler tree and see who's hanging out and what's going on. Oh, Theo, my heart's with you. All the presurgical prep I've been doing is kind of exhausting, Theo says. I'll leave y'all's to chat and get comfy. Have a good weekend. You too. You too.

And best of luck to you. Theo, our thoughts and fondest hopes. go with you and so let's check in with uh jeremy see what's going on hey jeremy hey robin if hollywood decided to make a new james bond movie and they wanted to base cash patel and the new enemy of james bond would the title be called golden lies by any chance also since trying to kill the law let's get this out of the way cash fattel has obviously not mastered the first two golden rules and one One feeds into the other, of course.

The first one is, don't piss into the wind unless you're pissing the direction it's going. Number two is it's better to be pissed off than pissed on, which feeds off the first one. His history is coming back to bite him in the ass, literally. Yeah, bless his heart, Jim Crocey had to change it in Bad Bad LeRoy Brown to don't spit into the wind. Right. We know the juvenile version, which, of course, I'm going to bring up, and that's that version, but yes. Well, it is your job, after all. is my job and I don't like to displease people so I always tell my duty oh I said duty there we go

second June I'll think yeah that's our second duty of the evening sometimes we need to keep track third you said it too so a third one uh anyway I'm trying to think anything else going on exciting around here now it's had a clear night tonight but it's not looking too clear towards Oak Mansfield looking pretty much like there's going to be a big thunderstorm so we'll see but it's been good weather leaves are on the verge of coming out on

most trees quite a few already have them out so a couple more warm days and another week of rain probably all leaving here again uh well Roger was here now Roger's not here uh...

come to be any problems that's possible yeah uh come on in everybody let's get the conversation started. Steve, I saw, obviously, I saw your message earlier. If you can get in, come on in, and, well, it's been a couple of Fridays since we really were the beneficiaries of your trenchant observations. You haven't heard, you may have, I think maybe Bob Sestka said this last night,

or I heard it somewhere. I don't think it was through you directly. Evidently, the Pentagon updated the list of casualties this week. and they decreased it by 15 sailors. So, no one knows what happened to those 15. They're saying they're not talking about them anymore. Did they get Putin? No one knows. They're not saying that they've been reached for, asked for comment, they will not talk about it.

Well, I mean, the internet is forever. I presume their identities are known. Possibly. I mean, I don't know if they're actually identifying people hurt yet. That's the thing. I mean, we keep hearing from multiple sources that are not our sources, that these numbers are greatly under, underwhelmingly reported.

That would not shock me either. So, I mean, I don't know. And I guess also Trump announced yesterday, he plans to redo the Lincoln reflecting pool. Yeah, he's been blathering about that for a while. It'd be a great place if we put the Jeffrey Epstein statuary in the middle of it with water shooting out of it. That'd be awesome. We should remodel it. The public know who

he is. Curiously enough, you mentioned the Epstein files. Chris Cuomo did an interview with Anna Pavlovakuna, or whatever her name is, the maggot from Florida, who's well,

she's a nightmare. One of her claims to fame being the fact that she is alleged to have bumped boots with the big giant forehead. And that, it just gates worse. But on Thursday, she told Chris Cuomo,

they were talking about Epstein and the files. She said, well, she's never getting a pardon. The votes aren't there for that. Because rumor had it that several members of the oversight committee We were all set to ask Nitwit Niro to pardon her in exchange for congressional testimony. But then, Anna Paval Laguna, take this for what she's worth. I mean, you could buy her for what she thinks she's worth and sell her for what she is worth and never count the loss. Do you really want to know my opinion on now this?

I don't think we even actually have the full files. from what I've heard there was destruction of evidence I think it was in New York where they were housing files during the initial trial there was a cyber attack I think a lot of the blackmail was destroyed

Dan and what she's probably talking about is what happened in 2023 a cyber intrusion you know a hack job on the FBI's New York office

and in fact in 2024 in a sworn statement FBI special agent Aaron Spivak said there was a potential hack into the FBI office in New York that compromised 500 terabytes of FBI data

that included how about that Epstein information and that 500 terabytes were compromised and ultimately 100 terabytes were

just lost the Epstein files what do you think the ups and downs are that When Melania gave that speech last week, obviously it was for multipurpose. We can all speculate in someone, but I think a third one is she knows some of the countries

that are blackmailing Trump and telling him he doesn't do this or don't doing that. We're going to let it all go, which will expose her too. Because clearly, she was a friend of Jeline Maxwell. I've never written a letter to someone that said, love you in the end, who will a sparse acquaintance

just in friendly terms. Never done that. No, no. No, not me neither. me neither. I save that for people I care about. Right. So I think there's still more shoes to drop in this, multiple pairs of shoes, and I think in the end you just try to protect yourself. That's the first role of family. Protect yourself first. Well, but there's all the Andrea Ungaro business out there with her saying, I've got nothing left to lose, and I'm ready to burn it all down.

I wonder if maybe melanoma has transferred some of those millions that she got in a bribe, I mean payment for melanoma the movie which by the way has something like 10 or less percent approval on rotten tomatoes I mean it's seriously in the running for what's the what's the opposite of the Oscars

maybe the Razzies is that it the worst films of any given year maybe she took some of that money and just quietly wired it down to Ms. Ungaro Well, I know Amazon was trying to stir up excitement. Maybe it was Netflix. I think it was Amazon because they have the rights to it. Trying to stir up excitement a couple weeks ago and said,

oh, it's coming to streaming the Melania Trump documentary. Well, guess what? When I use Amazon Prime, it doesn't suggest that to me. It knows me well enough that it knows it's not a good topic. I think what they were doing, if I recall correctly, Jeremy, is they were trying to they were trying to drum up buzz for

it moving to another streaming platform like, you know, Netflix or something. Whatever it is, hasn't been advertised me yet, and I have both those platforms. Well, you couldn't you couldn't pay me to watch it. Okay, now, wait a minute, hold on, hold on. Yeah, the fundraising deficit is $4,625.

you could probably pay me to watch it. Geez. Never get that time back, but here we are. I feel there's jokes to be made there, but I'm just going to slide by it. Oh, no, no, no, there are jokes. I was considering them when I said it. We all know what I am. Now we're just negotiating the price.

I know that joke. Oh, well. Get him, Asa. Get it. Get her. The jokes will be made. Anyway, I think Roger's in here now. Yes.

He looks like he's unmuted. If you'd like to talk, Roger, go for it. Hey, Roger. How is class this week? Oh, it was great. I served up the five different smoke cheeses and had fresh samples and listen to students to get various talks, learning how to do presentations in the program and all the rest of it. And tomorrow I'm headed down to the annual Master Gardener plant sale.

fitting at the table and answering questions and whatnot. And I'm hoping that I'll find some raspberry transplants that I can pop into my garden. Not that I'm looking at making vast quantities of raspberry jam, but it'll be real nice to have some more things I can graze on in the garden during the right season. And I'll put a little raspberries on my waffle or something at the right season. and maybe end up with enough to freeze and get enough to make a batch of raspberry jam or raspberry syrup, which I really love. Oh, that's wonderful. Well, hey, here's another thing for you to possibly consider.

I just actually, Victoria's sister put me onto these things, and it's bad, it's bad, Roger. It's really bad. I've got a problem. In the frozen, what, confections part of the grocery store, there is a brand called TrueFrew, and it is frozen fruits, mainly strawberries, blueberries, cherries, and raspberries, that have been dipped and enrobed in chocolate and re-frozen. And you want, oh, my God, they're so good. it would probably be even better if you did them, Roger. Don't know how much chocolate fan you are. Well, I'm a fair amount of a chocolate fan,

but I try not to eat it because I'm still trying to keep my weight down. But, I mean, it took me so goddamn long to get down from what I was at to where I'm at now. And I'd hate to go back up. And by God, I still got to drink beer, so I've got to cut out other things and chocolate for one of them. I've kind of cut out. But the one thing that would make them better would be if you were to grow your own blueberries or your own raspberries or your own strawberries and were able to pick them and get them in the freezer within an hour or so and do it that way. Because I don't care how big the company is.

The vast majority of fruit is at least 10 to 12 hours old before it gets into the freezer from a commercial. farm. Wouldn't surprise me. It's just your own is so much better. And even if it isn't better, it still tastes better because you know you had to tend it, you had to grow it, you had to pick it,

you had to process it. But yeah, chocolate-covered fruit is great. Oh, I love it. And, oh, whatever is Kroger's out there for you all, introduce their own brand in a couple of dollars less

than the true fruit brand. But also in those true for unpaid product placement, by the way, they all are. They've got a peanut butter and banana that's dipped in chocolate. And oh heavens. Well, that peanut butter and banana would never cross our front door because Patricia has a problem with peanuts in any way, shape, or form. Be it peanut oil, peanut butter, uh peanut butter cookies just the smell of them uh causes their problems so there will never be any

peanut butter in the house okay well not even not even for the grandkids then i highly read then i go back to highly recommending the raspberry strawberries cherries and blueberries the cherries are especially good they're like the sweet queen anne cherries i imagine the bing cherries would be real good too yeah i'm i'm guessing and they're using Queen Anne's just from the color, but, oh, Bing's would be wonderful. Well, I really don't have a whole lot. I've been so goddamn busy with this training classes, except most of the day, Tuesday, all day, Wednesday, all day, Thursday, and then a bit of prep on Monday. So, I mean, I've been trying to catch MS now in the evenings.

I'm still just too swamped with information that if I spend too much time thinking about it, I get absolutely incredibly frustrated and it interrupts my sleep and et cetera, et cetera. I'm still active, still engaged in a lot of ways. But if I were to get started on the things that are bothering me, we'd probably all be here till midnight, listen to me, bitch. And nobody's around here. I understand. I understand. So let's talk about something that does matter. Tell us about the smoke cheeses. Oh, they were very well received. And I gave my presentation on how to do it and how to keep the temperatures of the smoker low and, you know, all that good stuff.

And then I also did my presentation on making beef jerky. And then I did my presentation on smoking fish. and then I participated in the discussion on freeze-dried food and how you can the quirks are to rehydrating where if you rehydrate proteins like pulled pork warm water is best and it takes a little bit of time but if you do any kind of seafood you want to do it in cold water and how you can take leftover baked potatoes. and slice them and freeze dry them. And they take about 10 seconds to rehydrate. Then you put them on a grill and you have your own home fries.

All you have to do is heat them up and brown them because they're already cooked. Yeah. Little things like that in food preservation and how long things can last in a freeze dried state or a dehydrated state. And then we made something that we call pizza leather, which is a flavored, more or less how you would flavor the tomato sauce when making a pizza, but you spread it on a dehydrator tray and turn it into what's commonly referred to as fruit leather.

And you can either munch on it that way as a dried number, or you can rehydrate it and use it on spaghetti sauce or put it on a pizza. Those are all the kinds of things I've been playing. Oh, damn, that's really novel. That sounds fascinating. for the last eight weeks. But, you know, it's a good, just as a fruit leather.

I mean, tomatoes are, in a sense, of fruit. And it's a fruit leather. And you can just munch it on it, but it has that, depending on what spices you put on it. And any fried spice can be put on it. If you want it garlic, you can put a hell of a lot of powdered garlic on it. If you're not interested in the salt, or you can use it. use garlic salt or, you know, whatever, whatever spices you want to put on it, and you can either

mix them in with the blended tomato paste and fresh tomatoes that have been canned and then dehydrate it, or you can just sprinkle the flavorings on the top, which gives you more of the intense burst of the spices, but it's not blended into the tomato. So, you know, just what I kind of have fun with. I'm hoping the weather is halfway decent this weekend, and if it is, I'm going to fire up the smoker again. That last pork shoulder came out so well. I just, oh, I want to do it again. Well, I'm hoping on Sunday to be able to get my tomatoes in. I've put in the hoops for the hot little hot tunnel because our soil temperature is still quite low.

We're getting, actually, we're potentially going to get a little frost night, so I can't put them out today. Saturday's booked up, so I'll put them out on Sunday and put them in their little tunnel greenhouse for about a week until the all danger of frost is passed. I'm getting back into the garden. Absolutely, and I mean, it's warm enough for me to start dreaming of fresh tomatoes. Oh, my snow peas are up. I've got my onion starts in. My garlic is doing great, but it wintered over. And I've still got some shallots to plant.

So things are progressing. So are snow peas and sugar snap peas the same thing? No, they're not. Snow peas are the very flat pod you see in Chinese restaurants. Yeah. And the sugar snap peas are an edible pod pee that you want to get them before they're really mature. The peas turn stargy. But if you get them as rather immature, you can just eat them pod and all.

Where if you order, buyer, you know, purchase, grow, something like Green Arrow or some of the other, they're more commonly known as shelling peas, you shell them out and just eat the pea. Yeah, because with the snow peas, those peas actually are underdeveloped too. Are they not? Yes, they are. Yes, they are. But they are part of that eat the pod and all as opposed. If you try to eat a variety like Green Arrow as immature and eat the pod,

you're going to get a whole lot of stringy pod left over when you drew it up. Whereas with the sugar tap, the pod doesn't have all the stringiness in it. I remember my grandmother growing them in her garden here, and she would always fix them for me, you know, southern style, a little bit of bacon, grease, and a bit of sugar, and just let them simmer. And I thought they were the most delicious things in the world. Well, but you're right. They are immature.

Sure. If you let the sugar pods go long, they'll totally fill up the pod. And if you want to save your own seed, you let them stay on the pod until they start to turn brown in the fall. And then shell them out and save the peas, dry them and replant them the next year. And you'll get your own crop. Now, I have saved snow peas that I missed. If you grow a lot of them, you're always going to miss a few peas on the vine. and when I came to come back a couple of days later to pick again, if I see one I really miss,

I'll leave it there and let it go to its full maturity and then shell it out and save the seed. But then I'm a cheap bastard. If I can save my own seed, I save my own seed. Oh, yeah, I don't think that's cheap. That's just wise. Oh, like the Cherokee purples I'm growing. I've been saving my own seed here for six, seven years now.

Oh, those are beautiful. And the Italian paste tomatoes that I've got that were heirloomed by some Italian grandmother that came over in the 1920s or so. And the family's been growing them here in the Willamette Valley ever since. I'm saving my own seed from them as well. And then I save my own onion and shallot seeds and plant them. So, and my asparagus, I've got to start some more asparagus seed because. a patch of my asparagus patch is not coming up the way it should. So I'm going to need to start some new seeds.

Fill it back in, get it back to production. Honestly, you're the first person I've ever heard mentioned growing their own shallots. Oh, there's two ways to do it. We're talking about the long sort of oblong. Yeah, but they're divided like a garlic bulb can divide when you use them. and they're milder than garlic and not as much bite as an onion. Yeah, you can grow those from seed, either seeds or you can plant the bulb divided like you do with garlic, where you just take the garlic bulb and break it into its cloves and put the cloves into the ground

and you'll get a garlic plant. And you can do the same with garlic too. Well, hard-knit garlic you can because they send up a flour. and it will seed, and then you can plant the seeds. With the shallots and garlic from seed, it's a two-year process. Oh, goodness. Well, it's ramp season around here, so there's a lot of ramp dishes in a lot of restaurants, and nothing quite like them.

Which I've never had rants, but... Not quite garlic, not quite a leak, and in many ways stronger than both. Well, every region hasn't thrown. particular foods so well I know these things these things grow naturally you know here in Appalachia but they also they grow they grow naturally

I guess they're indigenous to like places like Wisconsin because I know my friends up there absolutely adore ramp season as well means if they can grow them in Wisconsin we ought to be able to grow them here yeah they're pretty hardy they're the you know they're the first green of spring

and they've got a broad leaf to them. It's not like a green onion. And you can chop up the leaves, but the real kick your ass and make you like it part is the underground white. I'm else to put it on my list to try one of these days. Oh, I think you'd enjoy it. Anyhow. Nothing better than leaks, ramps in a bowl of brown beans.

Well, as I say, I'll keep it on the agenda. I see Chi Wu and Squeaky are both here, so I'll give them a chance. Absolutely. And thank you, Sharon. Sharon just jumped in and got us down to only $4,600 to go to finish April. So we're $1,600 away from being halfway funded for the month. And if we could even reach that, it would be miraculous. We've got four more programs.

after today to try to bring it down. Thank you, Sharon. Thank you so much. And Cynthia pointing out, yeah, and the Signalgate idiot cares about classified info. Talking about whiskey, Pete,

and we take leaking very seriously. Ask Trash Patel about the leaking. She's a fucking hypocrite. Pay you to watch the melanoma movie? It'd better be for a lot of money. You can't unsee it either. I know, Cynthia.

But, well, at this point, it would be horrible. It would, in order for me to actually watch the Melanoma movie, you'd have to do the whole Alex clockwork orange thing, you know, with a little thing of the jigs holding my eyes open so that I had no point, no choice, but to stare at the screen and watch her try on shoes. And, yeah. I confess to one bit of curiosity that the scene where she says,

someone says to her or she says to someone else, that line from Marathon, man, is it safe? And, oh, Ralph's, an altered image of a pig's butt. with nitwit Nero's mouth superimposed where the anus would be a Nella word from Donald Trump. Although I've always seen, he always looked like a cat's rear end to me, and just funny that way. And Randy Radar said when Roger mentioned raspberry syrup, if you can buy sweet raspberry syrup, an excellent combination is vanilla ice cream scoops with chunks. of orange cantaloupe on top, drizzle the sweet raspberry syrup.

Dang, that sounds so good. It'll be wonderful when the Mennonite produce starts coming in and we can get really fresh, ripe cantalopes from over in the Buckeye State. Thanks, Randy. Oh, I know. I just I just saw that story Ralphs

Ralph says a $25 challenge for Trump calling two African American people low IQ within minutes of each other the first one oddly enough

was Candio Candice Owens who was just all groovy with her former boss, little Benny, dry wife Shapiro, until she didn't tow the A-PAC line on the genocide in Gaza. He went after her today as his poll numbers continue to plummet like a paralyzed falcon, saying, Candice Owens' stock, which was never very high, has fallen a long way. Well, how can it fall a long way if it was never very high in the first place?

Her attack on the First Lady of France is despicable. I believe, in this case, without verification, she is an extremely low IQ individual. That was 3.42 p.m. Eastern daylight time. Well, at 3.49 p.m. Eastern daylight time, you get this. Hakeem High Tax Jeffries is a low IQ individual. Individuals doing a lot of hard work there. We know what he means. Who is not smart enough to be running the Democrat Party. and certainly not smart enough to be involved in running the new 90s states of America.

It's people like this who almost destroyed our nation with their high tax open borders policies. In the future, Hakeem, a fine American name will forever be known as high tax. Y. Can somebody please get great-grandpa his meds? Yeah, please. Well, in the meantime, I taxed Donnie instituted a tax called a tariff. And that tariff was initially paid by a company who then raised their prices to the American consumer.

And depending on which source you read, increased their annual cost by $1,700 to $4,000, depending on how much money they spent. And then the court comes back and says, you know, that was an illegal tax. you need to refund it. So the American people paid the tax, but the American people didn't keep the receipt for every little thing they bought whose price got raised, but the companies kept it. So now the companies are going to get refunded their tariff,

which is paid by the American taxpayer, and you and I know goddamn good and well, they are not going to lower their prices or until the amount of the money they have theoretically lost, which has been covered by the government refund for the tariffs. So the American taxpayer is getting screwed twice, once with the initial illegal tax, and now our tax money is going to get paid back to the corporations who are one way or another going to put it in their pocket, and now that they've gotten the American consumer used to the high prices,

they're going to keep the prices high and just pocket even more money. Ding, hang on. I've been, yeah, I've been thinking that myself and, right. Of course, we as American citizens should have the right to tax the people who pass those costs down to us until they have paid back a sufficient amount into the Treasury to match Donnie's claims about how much money the tariffs brought in.

Claims, you mean lies? Well, didn't he say the tariffs brought in trillions of dollars? Yes, he did. Fine, then let's raise the taxes on the people who get their tariff refunds until they have paid back in trillions of dollars. How do we ultimately get it back into the pockets of the people who really paid that, though? Unfortunately, that's impossible. We can put it in to daycare.

We can put it into food security. We can put it into education. We can return it to the taxpayers as goods. Yes. And you weren't around yesterday, but the first thing that came to mind is we can put it into hot rotisserie chicken. There's a, I mean, there's a new bill and, well,

jumbo justice and Shelley more capital, my two useless senators signed on bipartisanly with some Democrats to sort of, well, edit the SNAP benefits so that you can buy hot rotissory chicken with your SNAP

benefits. Of course, we're not, we're not going to give anybody more money. They're still going to be using those $3 a day that Brookie Rollins, the Secretary of Agriculture was talking about where you can have a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, and

a tortilla, and a snack, and Americans can eat pretty good on $3 a day. Bullshit. Of course. Oh, and by the way, Ralph's is offering up a $25 challenge for the low IQ

remarks by Nitwit Niro. So the low IQ challenge is on the table. That would get us down to 4550 for the deficit so thank you Ralphs hopefully that will be met here in the next hour or so I'm just looking to see if there's anybody that that's one thing I kind I don't know maybe the the the the deep into discord folks will be able to answer this is there any way to like raise a hand in discord you know when the conversation not like now but when the conversation gets really vibrant so that, you know, you can sort of create a stack and get to people, you know, as...

I'm just curious. But, well, I mentioned toward the beginning of the program that hilarious, slightly modified image of Nittwit Nero, surrounded by his cabinet members and the wag who said, And I just, I did, I cackled, like a hen laying eggs. This looks like those old West photos of the Texas Rangers posing with the corpse of the outlaw. They killed. Well, we've heard from him previously, Dr. Jonathan Reiner, who must need one hell of a cardiologist because he kept Richard B. Dick Big Time Cheney before he dicks you.

alive when the man didn't even have a pulse well he was a Cheney's cardiologist for almost 30 years basically through practically every heart attack he had he opined after Don Snorleone's performance

yesterday saying when a patient tells me that they can't stay awake in meetings, we do formal sleep testing to look for sleep apnea. I'm sure the White House medical team has done this, but the president continues to struggle with daytime somnolence. This is a common problem, and there are things that can be done to improve these symptoms.

And he used one of Aaron Rupar's post. Trump is about to hit REM on camera during an Oval Office event. It's just incredible. and Dr. Reiner, you know, you're obviously a very good cardiologist, but what if you take into account the statements of people over the years talking about what a crank addict, nitwit Nero was and probably still is? How does that play into daytime somnolence? He can't stay awake when he doesn't have his crank. Is that something that happens? because I feel like that's something that happens.

But there's plenty, I mean, he ain't all right. And one of these days, one of these days, oh, that red dress, that red dress, it's all saying. And, well, there's Emilio having entered the conversation, Chi Wu's there, He's still here. Anybody want to jump in? Don't everybody do what it wants. Okay. That is a whole lot of dead air.

And, okay, there's another individual. Edward. Don't think we've heard from Edward before. Well, we have another old serpent head siding. That would be James Carville. That's the nickname that his lady wife gave him. Mary Madeline, who used to fill in for Rush Limbaugh. nitwit Niro

apparently decided to try to zing old serpent head with him saying Wacko James Carville a so-called Democrat strategist wants the Democrats to make

D.C. and Puerto Rico states and most importantly back to the Supreme Court putting 13 justices on the court. If they pull off adding these two states, these country destroying sleaze bags. That's all caps, capital C, capital D, capital S. We'll

dominate politics in America. If we even have a nation left for a hundred years, terminate the filibuster. Yeah. Well, on Wednesday on his podcast, Old Serpenthead responded, speaking with Al Hunt,

saying, Well, I'll debate Donald Trump any old time. My job My job is to teach people. How many people in this country know that in the last non-presidential elections, the Democrats have won seven in the popular vote. Not very many people.

And then, and I guess this was before this stuff came out about old balls and strikes. He was talking, he talked about Sammy Bad Breaths, little fishing expedition. No, really, fishing. with the har-har or the $1.8 million land deal

that frat boy Neil made just right after he was confirmed Carville said, people don't understand what's happening to this country. And this proposal, I think, if it does nothing else, is going to have a great educational purpose. I would

I would, I would I'd be interested in a ticket to a debate between Carville and nitwit, Nero. At least one of them served honorably in the military of the United States. That would be James Carville, not Cadet Bonespurs. No. You unmuted for a minute there, Chi Wu. Did you have something you wanted to add? Not to this particular.

I'm on the train, so let me be. How many of the best people? people that Donald Trump, you know, hires. We only get the best people. How many of them has he fired? What's the status count of the current cabinet? Is there a way? I'm sorry.

Yeah, three women and one pudgy white guy. Let go? Yeah. Krusty the nasty Nazi gnome, Jojo Blondie, Phelan. the Navy Secretary. Well, the Army Secretary got shit-can, too, so there's really five. And then Lori Chavez de Riemer, who was having a little sobriety problem, if you know what I mean. And a little romping problem, too.

She's got husband problems, too, I think. I would say so, yes. So that count is sort of significant. And then, I don't know, the excurs. that we've had overseas that little you know that little tiff that we've had how long is that going to go on are we keeping receipts on the billion dollar a day a day cost of the straits of Hormouth which were open which was open and then closed because of the imaginary nuclear threat yeah because of because of this maladministration being

bunch of dumbasses yes that oh wow isn't that something and then i guess the last thing um over under cash money patel um how long and then kegbreath how long uh will they make it through the administration or what's the over under on their release i'll holla you have a good weekend too oh you too chie will chie woo and uh well you might find this interesting. Apparently, the woman who is the reporter, the woman at the Atlantic, Sarah Fitzpatrick, who has, you know, she's the reporter on the story of

trashed Patel. She says since he sued her, that she has been, and this is her word, inundated with new sources corroborating, not just her reporting, but his rampant intoxication. Yeah, that's a hell of a thing. So, I'm, yeah, between him and Whiskey Pete, it's a matter, it's a question of which one drunks his way out of the job first.

Sarah Fitzpatrick went on and said she stands by every single word of her story and says that the people she spoke to were actually frightened. by the conduct of, uh, trashed Patel. Dude, wait, we've got, wait, hold on. Yeah, we've got a, we got a button for that. I'm so wasted. Yeah. Yeah, we do. I don't come in handy later. Um, uh, on Tuesday, Trashed Patel said, I can say on a quiver, like, uh, I never listened to the fake news. mafia. When they get louder, it just means I'm doing my job. Well, Sarah Fitzpatrick said, nah, you don't scare me. My response is that I stand by every single word of this report.

We were very diligent. We were very careful. It went through multiple levels of editing, review, care. And I think one of the things that's been most gratifying after, immediately after the story published, was, I've been inundated by additional sourcing going up to the highest, levels of the government thanking us for doing the work providing additional corroborating information highest levels of government ooh that means somebody has the long knives out for trash fatale well wait a minute who could one of those highest level of government types be ah who is really really really close to nitwit nero and really really really really really really hates brown people anybody

bueller bueller bueller yeah and and she said people she spoke to felt that not only was this conduct embarrassing unbecoming but it was a national security vulnerability that americans were perhaps less safe as a result and she went on to say this isn't just every day these stories don't just pop up

she said before before this story I had never heard anything like this as a reporter and I think I spent a very long time, a very diligent amount of time checking it out because it was so explosive. And I think the fact that this was known throughout the FBI, throughout the Justice Department, that it reached the White House is because it was so alarming, and

people were really frightened. I can imagine, you know, sleep tight tonight, America and all of that. Did you happen to catch onions reveal of Info Wars and the new banner? Yes.

And how they does the sparkling and rainbow like this skyly glitter come out of it such a hilarious good on them goddamn yeah they've raised their trolling to professional levels

of course they kind of always have but I wonder if Todd Blanchie's dropping the dime I mean there could be a stampede to get to Sarah

Fitzpatrick she said they were frightened and that really stuck with me I would suspect Steve Miller. That's what I was asking earlier. Who's right close to Donald Trump and really, really, really, really, really, hates brown people.

And see, the thing is, when they start getting notoriety, nitwit Niro starts getting antsy and loyalty only runs in one direction where Nitt Witt Nero is concerned. And I would say that if anybody, and they have to have seen

it, if anybody has seen the takedown of Trash Patel as a Lego figure by the Iranian propaganda machine. Oh, my God. More people have probably seen that than have actually seen Trash Patel. So, yeah, I agree with you. It probably is Stephen Miller. It could be Susie Wiles, too.

She seems to be a working deep in the background kind of chief of staff. but I got a feeling she's got a straight razor tucked in her shoe. Well, the reason I come up with Stephen Miller is I think Stephen Miller is the most dangerous man in this entire administration. He's stealth. He's a backstabber, and he'll do anything and everything to stay in Donnie's good graces because he's more of the authoritarian racist pig and Donnie can be. And I think Donnie is in awe of him.

I think there's a substantial likelihood that you're correct. And that makes it all the more likely that his head's on the chopping block. But, of course, I had a story earlier this week. I think it was one of the days you were away. Whiskey Pete is apparently getting really antsy, too, because he's not delivering the... stunning victory that

pretty much the maladministration promised with Iran. They were supposed to knuckle under and yell uncle and welcome us as liberators. Yeah, that's yeah, I remember that from 20 years ago, 23 years ago, welcome us as

liberators. Well, Hegseth is in a really problematic place because Donnie has never truly stated what the end goal is. It was going to be a change of administration in Iran after he blew apart the previous administration. And all they did was put in the son of the Ayatollah,

who was more radical than his papy was. And instead of having an 80-something-year-old, I think an 85, 86-year-old, fellow who was about to assume room temperature. Now we've got a 50-year-old who's more radical than his daddy. Well, and not just that. He's also, his daddy had just a death grip on power, whereas Moshtaba owes his position to the Revolutionary Guard,

based on the reading that I've done. so his his grasp on power is more tenuous plus the fact that he's there's a I saw one story earlier in the week that notes that

I mean he really is he really did get beaten up in the attacks he's had like part of his leg blown away reconstructive surgery he's waiting on a prosthetic one of his hands is just

about destroyed and he only communicates via notes passed back and forth through a network of trusted couriers and notes come back to him so you know that that crown as it were may not be firmly affixed to the top of his noggin getting back to XF how How can he deliver the desired goods when his boss hasn't truly stated what he considers to be the appropriate desired goods? Well, right. There's no right answer at this point. Because this was all acting haste, repent and leisure. Well, right now, the desired goods are the straight of hormone. and Iran give up their nuclear enrichment. One, Iran is right there, and they can fire at any ship going through those straits from shore.

They don't need a Navy to cause problems there. All they need to do is blow up one oil tanker, and none of the rest of them are going to go because they can't get insurance. And they're not going to move the ships without insurance. Ex-Seth can't do a hell of a lot about that unless he tries to take out all the gun emplacements somewhere between the shore and 10 miles inland and he can't do that because they're already spending a billion dollars a day

just sitting around with their thumb up their ass. And that whole rescue the airplane pilots was a smoke screen over trying to steal the enriched uranium, which was stored very close to that airfield they were using. But we can be damn sure right now that the enriched uranium is not there anymore. It's dispersed all over the fucking country.

And we've got no way to know where it is. So Hegsef just, he simply can't deliver. Now, the other thing that has come to mind, here is when people are saying this is costing us a billion dollars a day, I like using that because it sounds bad to the rah-rah-a-go-go people. But one must realize that the only true cost to this war is actually the amount of munitions that are being expended. because those aircraft carriers simply being there in the area,

they would be somewhere else. And you can't really chalk up the salaries of the people on the boats and the aviators that are flying the planes off the aircraft carriers and all that. They'd be doing that anyhow. It's like in the Coast Guard. They say, well, this rescue costs X amount of dollars to send a helicopter. out to a ship and plucked the guy off and bring him back. But the reality is the Coast Guard would be doing training flights to get their flight hours

every month if they weren't doing an actual rescue. So the fuel that's used on the rescue and the wages of the pilots and hours on the airframe and all the rest of that would be expended anyhow. So I have a bit of a problem with the actual. cost per day of this war. It's kind of a phony number, but I'll fly with it because it makes him look worse. Sure. And, of course, you know, I presume you've seen, Roger, that we have expanded this beyond

the Straits of Formuz and the United States Navy is now committing piracy on the high seas. We're stopping and boarding tankers. that were stopping and boarding tankers in the indian ocean but those navy ships would still be somewhere in the world sure yeah or they might be or they are they or they might be docked and you know getting paint scraped but those say well the only people in the united states military today

that are not getting paid is the united states coast guard because of dhs correct right but the Senate did ram through

a DHS funding bill with no well with support from you know Kirsten Mansion of Pennsylvania they ran

through a reconciliation bill to fully fund DHS with no no modifications no reforms you know, masking and all of that evil shit still in place.

So the Coast Guard should start getting paid. But I'm really bothered by the piracy on the high seas. Arguably, the Navy would have some sort of colorable right if there was any kind of legal framework in place for us to engage in this. But there is not. There simply is not. And in fact, that that 60-day mark continues to approach, it was, what, February 28? So that'll be here with the end of April.

And he's not, you know, he's not strong. He doesn't look or seem like he's out ahead of the problem. And meanwhile, gas is going up and up and up and up. up, May 1st will be the 60th day. And at that point in time, you know, assuming the maggot Congress is even remotely interested

in obeying the laws and fulfilling the duties of the Congress, you know, under Article 1 of the Constitution, they have to do something. And honestly, I don't know what happens if they choose not to. Do you? I mean, if they just let it

blow by, that that point in time he's just what he's maximum dictator of the United States of America how's he not oh there's Steve yes how are you I'm well how are you we had a lovely day here and it was nice to

get out in the sunshine and I went down to the settlements for provisions and came back and just enjoyed a nice afternoon out good I'd hear it I'm um I'm recovering I'm finally starting to come out of the very dark place I've been in for about the past three to four weeks.

So, yeah, things are starting to come back to normal. Everyone always asks me, how's the move going? How's the move going? Well, the move is, it's sadly probably going to end up taking me longer than I ever expected it to. Moving is bad enough. moving across, moving into another state, having to pick up your entire life and then change your lifestyle, because it's going to be a significant lifestyle change between New York and Ohio. Oh, goodness me, yes.

So it's going to be, here's the funny thing is it's actually my life, my, my, my lifestyle is actually going to probably get more expensive moving back to Ohio because I will have to have a car. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So, but I wanted to ask, I've been thinking a lot about, I was listening to you and Roger talk about the Coast Guard and the, and the, I don't, I guess we should call it the, we can call it the war, because that's what it is. It's an undeclared war, but it's still a war. I was wondering, what do you think when they were, what do you think the generals or whoever told him that, that, that, that, what. what we were going to be doing and why we were going to be doing it.

What do you think that they told him? Because it seems like every, well, not it doesn't seem like it's every, every other day or every week, there's some, it's just, it's a shit show of whatever he happens to, whatever happens to catch his fancy is what he's going to be talking about or what he's going to, what he threatens to do and all that type of stuff. So what do you think, what do you think they told him, that the purpose of this war was going to be.

Steve, I don't think they were afforded that luxury. It's top down. He tells them, and they, they, I have no confidence in the, in the, in the high brass of the United States military right now, because they just snap salutes and go commit war crimes. Yeah, I agree with that. I mean, it's just like what Roger and I were talking about, you know, the United States Navy is openly committing piracy on the high seas. But I can't imagine Trump was the one who said, hey, let's go into it. Let's go attack Iran in order to do this.

No, Steve, it wasn't. And I know, you know, people may think that I'm oversimplifying things. But, you know, John Kerry at one point said, listen, I've been in this, I've been in this business for a while. Benjamin Netanyahu has tried to convince every president, whether it was Barack Obama, Joe Biden, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, Ronald Reagan. He has tried to convince every American president

to do Israel's bidding and attack Iran, and only Donald Trump was vain-glorious enough and goddamn dumb enough to take the bait. And so when you hear talking points like, well, no other president ever did this for 47 years, they didn't come up with that. That's a talking point straight from Jerusalem. And, you know, this isn't me saying, you know, the Jews. No, no, no. But Bebe has a track record.

And he knew that he could not take Iran out to whatever that means by himself. So he finally found a sucker. And so I think the decision-making process was the reverse of what you're assuming that it was, Steve. Oh, okay. Namely, Psycho-Bee-Bee-Bee-Tole. Trump, Trump told his generals, remember they're his generals, what he wanted, and because of the nature of the, because the military is constitutionally run by civilians, they snapped a salute and said, yes, sir, and they came up with a massive bombing campaign and executed it, but it was so on the fly and so harum-scarer.

that they didn't have time for an exit strategy. I mean, one of the things that reporting showed in the last couple of weeks was that they had been tasked his generals. I wonder how those career military officers feel about being referred to with a possessive pronoun as belonging to Donald Trump. Well, never mind. but one of the things that they were told to do was come up with a plan to go and take the take the enriched uranium and they came up with a plan that would take like

three to six months it would involve literally invading Iran and building an air strip I mean this is like I mean I got to thinking about what's this like what's this like what's this like it's like well during the

Second World War. We had to build an air strip right under the Japanese noses on, what, Guadalcanal? And that was a hell of a fight. And that's... The French had to do it. French had to do it, Diem. Ben-Fu. That too. And in either instance, Guadalcanal is just a little island.

Vietnam is Vietnam. God damn, Iran is huge. Huge. And they're going to build an air strip, and then they're just going to go toddling around, looking for... And the thing is that most people, and some of this is kind of a blowback from W's war against the innocent people of Iraq. You know, remember yellow cake? Uh-huh. They got some yellow cake over there, and I want their yellow cake.

And they got some aluminum tubes. They tried to kill my daddy. Fuck him. Well, this enriched uranium is actually in gaseous form. It would have to take more processing to get it to a level where it could be used in a bomb or a nuclear reactor. But it's in gaseous form. And all the experts I've read and heard talking about it say that it's basically cylinders roughly the size of a scuba tank

and then you take the then you take the numbers for how much of it they have and by the way you can't just take a whole bunch of scuba tanks of uranium what is it hydro hydro uranium gas

and put them on a C130 and fly them somewhere you know we have facilities that could deal with it in the united states but that's an unstable form what you know never mind somebody shooting it the aforementioned c130 what if it just experiences a mechanical malfunction and goes down overland in the water and you've got and you know that there's no there's there's a corrosion risk you'd have to set up some sort of facility for stabilizing it into a solid form.

Now do that in the middle of a country that wants to kill you all. Where people are, you know, teenagers who want freedom, see the air quotes, who want blue jeans and whatnot. They are lining up around the block to sign up and get a gun to be ready to defend against the invading Americans because they've been planning for this for 47 years. They've been waiting for some American president to be stupid enough to do this for 47 years. And we haven't had a 47-year plan to go over and, you know, the last thing we did was to depose Muhammad Mosadegh. and that was an entirely covert operation.

That was MI6 and the brand spanking new CIA. And we deposed the prime minister, and we installed Reza Pahlavi on the peacock throne in Tehran, who proceeded to go about the business of repressing the hell out of the Iranian people. And basically, by the time you get to the 1979 revolution, it's meet the new boss, same as the old boss. they just repressed differently. Because among other things,

the Shah's secret police, the Savak, they work hand-in-glove with the Israelis. The Israelis like the Iranians, the Iranians like the Israelis. And that all ended in 1979. And, well, here we are. So that's a long and convoluted. I don't even know if it's an answer to your question, Steve.

We have no idea what we're doing. Let's put it that way. Yeah, and I mean, I have no question about, I have no doubt about that. I just wonder what would have been the rationale or going in there. Would it be to do, when you say we, when Netanyahu pitched this to Trump, what do you think Netanyahu said? Go there to do what? BV Netanyahu has sworn up and down on a stack of Torah. for decades that Iran is three days away from a nuclear weapon.

It's like the phenomenon you see in Galaxy Quest where you find out that the timer never actually ticks down to zero. It always stops at one second. So Iran has always been three days, three weeks, three hours, away from a nuclear weapon, at which point, mushroom clouds are going to spring up around Israel like real mushrooms after a spring rain. None of it's true. It's all fucking garbage. But that's what he pitched him on.

Okay. And no, they don't. But Netanyahu doesn't believe that. No, Netanyahu's a goddamn liar and a criminal in the eyes of his own government. You know, his national security dude, what's his name, Idemar Ben-Givir, dude was convicted under Israeli law by Israeli courts of multiple counts of being a terrorist. But somehow or another, that doesn't keep you from being a member of a fascist cabinet,

because of course it doesn't. Well, when we get to Donnie Trump, Steve, what makes you think that Donnie Trump would have asked the questions of BB Netanyahu to wonder about it because we know from his activities in Venezuela and his bombing boats that are running gasoline from Venezuela to the islands of the Caribbean

and calling him drug terrorists, Johnny has no critical thinking skills whatsoever, and he loves the idea of being the one in charge of the world's greatest military because he's a bully. And when Bebeenet and Yahoo gave him a task to do that massaged his bully psyche, oh shit, I got the U.S. military, strongest in the world. Fuck, we can go do anything. Let's go bomb Iran and the people of Iran are going to rise up. and reinstall the shaw or some bullshit.

And so he did it without even thinking of the consequences, without even questioning the why or the where. It was just an excuse for him to play the bully again. And he loves being the bully. He's been a bully ever since the day he got indicted. He and his old man are discriminatory housing in New York City. You know what? You know what it is,

Roger, I guess what at my core is, I don't want to believe that somebody would, is that flippant and that cavalier about using military force. But I guess he is. He doesn't care. Sorry. He sees it as just, he just, it's a big series of boom-booms. That's what it looks like, what's what it seems like to me. Well, in order to understand the right-wing government of Israel, and it's, proclivities so many Americans have bought into

I mean we talk about the genius of the Iranian propaganda with the Lego videos and whatnot I mean they are their genius but there's been a propaganda war run in the United States since before

1948 about Israel. And it's this, every war was a war of defense. It's not true. I saw a clip from Nekhi Hassan, who went point by point, war by war by war,

and actually brought receipts and showed quotes from Israeli government officials saying, oh, no, no, no, no, we started this. We wanted more land. and then I did a deeper dive under the Ottoman Empire oh dear there she goes under the Ottoman Empire

Jews and Palestinians lived side by side in that area they lived side by side in Jerusalem they live side by side in Tel Aviv they live side by side in Ashkelon in Gaza and the way I heard it explained

was that those Sephardic Jews which means Jews who had been there all along and not Europeanized got along with the power I mean literally

worked together neighbors everything But when the European Jews came in, they immediately began treating the Palestinians like Untimension. And that's where the problems began. And then, of course, 1948, you get the Nakva, where tens of thousands, if not 100,000 or more Palestinians, were simply kicked off their land.

And it was appropriated by the largely Ashkenazic, Jewish population that had come from Europe in the aftermath of the Second World War. I hate to say it, but if you want to model for that, in many ways, the model for that was the United States. And in particular, Andrew Jackson and the so-called five civilized tribes and the Indian Removal Act, where all of the indigenous people's land was simply stolen from them, and white people moved in and set up shop and housekeeping.

It's almost one to one. And so now while there is some dissent in Israel, in fact, you can find more dissent reading Israeli media than you can reading American media because we just repeat the party line from BB now. It doesn't matter. CVS, ABC, NBC, well, you know, CBS, whatever. they all repeat the

Likudnik party line and that that fabricated history and it's Orwellian you know Oceania has always been at war with East Asia when it's simply not fucking true and to get a more broader number on the European aspect on this

when the Europeans came into South America and Africa they didn't really pay too much attention to the native peoples and how they'd been living alongside each other for years and years and years, sometimes fighting, sometimes not. They just pulled out a map

and drew up boundaries. Africa is the worst case, at least in South America, they tended to use geologic barriers. Well, in South America, they also used the line of demarcation promulgated by the Pope. Portugal,

gets this, Spain gets that. But that's still white Europeans screwing around with people. But I'm looking at Chile and Argentina, they use the ridge of the Andes. Well, there wasn't a hell of a lot of back and forth over the top of the Andes. And the peoples that were living there. Yeah, there was a little bit, but not much because the Andes are, it's like on two sides of the Rocky Mountains. I mean, you've got peaks that are snow covered, eight, nine, months of the year. So, but when you get into Africa, it's a whole different story the way they

carved up Africa. And every European nation wanted a bit. You know, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when little bit of Belgium winds up with the Congo, and it turns out to be the worst genocide up, up until the second world war, good old king Leopold. And Cecil Rhodes with Rhodes, and South Africa was that. The. wars that's the dutch yeah i mean the germans got involved in uh in uh in uh east africa and then after world war two the english and the french and the u.s and spain and spain and so much but italy they just said well we don't want the jews living next door to us we're going to carve out some land in palestine and it doesn't matter who's living there

we're going to take a pen on a map and say ah this is where the the Israelis came from originally, this is where they're going to go back to, and then supported genocide against the people that were living there. And here we are. And the one thing that's telling out of all this is that for the first time in, I think, modern polling, since 1948, more Americans, Republican and Democrat and independent have a negative view of Israel than have a positive one. the only place where that isn't true is the Congress of the United States because those sweet sweet, sweet A-PAC checks cash real good.

Well, let me put a little bit of a caveat on that. And that is a vast majority of people here in America accept the idea that Israel should exist and there should be a place for Jewish people who live and da-da-da-da-da-da. but are adamantly opposed to Netanyahu. And this is practicing Jews, my niece's husband. He still has his family living in Israel. He was born in Israel, but his parents were born in South Africa. And he is absolutely opposed to BB Netanyahu, and yet he's a veteran of the Israeli Defense Force.

He did his two years being in the military. Something Asa apprised me of, and this is one of those weird moments. I mentioned the difference between the Sephardim and the Ashkenazi. Well, the aforementioned fascist criminal, Itamar Ben-Givir, he's actually Sephardic. His parents came from Iraq to Israel. And this is a guy, I talked about the terrorism charges. it really would behove the American people to learn a little bit more about Belizal Smotrich

and particularly Idemar Ben-Gadir before the assassination of Hitchakrabin who you know as he approached what was the premature end of his life said human history is written in blood and we desperately need to find another color which I always thought was a profound statement

well my great grandparents came out of the the poland germany area as ashkanashi jews yeah well what but the thing is before his assassination edamar ben-gavir i think it was him might have been smotech i feel like it was ben-givir got close enough to rabine's vehicle. It was a Mercedes-Benz. But he stole the hood ornaments and took a picture and said, if we can get this close to him, imagine how much closer we can get. And shortly after that, Ed Chakrabin was murdered by Israelis.

And most of the fascism in Israel arises out of the illegal settlements in the West Bank, among other places. Yeah. I mean, you don't have to look very far on any given day to find video of Israeli settlers colonizers harassing some Palestinian be it a man, a woman, a girl they particularly like to pick on women

and girls. You know the story of the rape of the Palestinian man that was swept under the carpet and then they gave the rapists medals. I'm making that up. And it doesn't help that any time you say so much as

even the most tepid criticism of Israel, there's somebody out there written, God damn anti-Semite, no, no, no, absolutely not. No. Anti-fascist? Yes. And you were the one who pointed out,

Steve, that from the river to the sea appears in the founding documents of Lakud, and that's the 1970s. 177, I believe. Yeah. And by the way,

Nazi Yahoo to dump Daryl in Houston says What Nazi Yahoo said to dump is do what I want in Iran or we'll release the Mossad files on Epstein and you'll be up shit creek That's also a possibility because don't forget The Epstein files that we've seen pretty much confirmed that he was a Mossad agent And I think there's a non-zero chance that he's living it up on some beach in Israel to this day Sorry, I know that sounds a little paranoid, but the whole, you know, gap in the video, the phone call, all of that stuff,

and the one person who could make all of that happen, whether it be the murder of Jeffrey Epstein or the squirreling out of the country of Jeffrey Epstein, Bill Bard of prosecution. Someday somebody really should question him, real, real good. Well, that's maybe why the Texas Rangers always took a picture around the body of the corpse. Yeah, not proof of life, proof of death, because there was probably a wanted dead or alive poster and you get all the people involved with it

and you know how many people get to split the reward and by the way this is just this is just a little funny but it came from Sylvie earlier when I was talking about the hot rotissory chicken act I think I saw the hot rotissory chicken act in an adult bookstore the video featured a naked Republican committing unspeakable atrocities on the corpse of a freshly baked fowl who knew chickens wore corsets

nah You get a Ramalama ding-dong and a and a... For that one, Sylvie. And go ahead. What do we think... And again, I'm just asking because I don't fucking know. And I'm curious, because it sounds like you have done quite a bit of research on this. I know Roger has quite a bit of knowledge on this.

Where do you think this is going to end up? Or are we officially in a quagmire? It's just going to go on and on and on and on for months. Honestly, it depends on how much our Middle East partners are willing to tolerate. Right now, Iran's not shooting a bunch of missiles at Bahrain or Dubai or Qatar or Saudi. I mean, but they proved that they can damn well do it pretty much at will. Mm-hmm. But it ends, it ends.

I mean, if we thought the end of Vietnam was humiliating, holy shit. And the thing is, this has economic repercussions. Roger mentioned a few minutes ago the insurance business. Well, there's actually an insurance board that meets in London, and what a beautiful dodge it is. When you buy insurance on a freighter, you insure two things. you insure the physical plant, if you will, the physical ship,

you also insure the cargo. And every policy that comes out of those insurance companies says one thing specifically. This policy does not cover damages arising from war. So that means basically there's nobody out there has an insured ship right now, which means the ships don't move. You can't even bring a ship into port without insurance on it. And on top of it all, there is a wrinkle in the law that allows you to, that allows the board to say, okay, we'll write an extremely expensive policy of insurance for your vessel.

Cash on the barrelhead, please. But it's only going to be good for like five days to get you out of the war zone. well these ships can't get out of the war zone so they're double-fucked i mean it's wild no one there's no one person making those decisions because all of those large insurance policies are bought up by one of somebody will buy 10 percent of it another person 15 another person 20 whatever yeah it's the origin of lloyds of london it was a coffee house right and so So if there is a group of people that say, you know, we really ought to start insurance these because there's a lot of money to be made, they can't simply write the policy and

collect the money. They have to get a bunch of other insurance companies who agree to the terms of the contract who will agree to buy a portion of that policy. Well, all of these insurance insurers, every one of them has a seat at the table of this insurance board that sits in London. And then, of course, Roger, as you mentioned,

there's insurance, and then there's reinsurance, and then there's re-reinsurance, and then there's re-reinsurance. And they will always protect the money. Finsta, how many times have I have to tell you, not to touch the dirty money? And so everything is just parked over there.

And by everything, I mean oil. I mean, the story, about helium was horrifying to me. We're going to have a helium shortage in hospitals and helium is vital to MRIs for the next five years. The

world is going to have a fertilizer shortfall of a significant nature. And that means famine. You know, biblical famine. And, you know, oddly enough, I can remember being on air the night the story broke. I was still on

terrestrial radio. The year that America became, a net importer of food. And I said way back then, oh, this is bad. This is real bad. This means we can't feed ourselves. And it's only gotten worse.

And that whole reason for that was a government policy to create what's the right word for? Large farms, the mega farm number. And kick off the family farmers that were milking their capital. and spreading the cow manure on the field fertilizer and weren't having to buy nitrogen out of the Middle East to grow the crops.

I'm not saying they were 100% organic, but I'm saying this country has covered up so much fertile ground because the high real estate term here, the highest and best use was to convert the Silicon Valley from agriculture into industry. and houses. Sure, and the other component of that, Roger, is that, you know, the whole idea of a globally interconnected economy was that when everybody has to cooperate to make sure everybody has what everybody needs,

that was supposed to be an inducement against war. And it sort of worked. But the fly in the ointment was that all you need is one narcissistic idiot. Since you're talking about food and war and shortage, it seems like a good time to step back. I stepped off for a minute, so if I'm bringing up something you've already covered, I apologize. My fault. But in case anyone else been paying attention, our Navy ships are actually running out of food in Iran, because they're not meant to sit in one place for long terms.

They float around and get resupplied, but our least supply routes are being cut off by Iran. That's entirely possible. Not possible, true. And, of course, the vast majority of drugs, pharmaceuticals in the United States come from India. And where does India get the raw materials to make the pharmaceuticals? Ha! Look! It's the Persian Gulf again. We don't begin to know how screwed we are, and the vast majority of the American people are going,

God damn the gasoline's expensive. Honey, you haven't even begun to contemplate what's coming at you. And the thing that will... The thing that will damn us is our lack of cohesion. Because no matter how bad it gets, there's going to be some goddamn maggot out there. Oh, this is a little bonfall. My life-sustaining insulin comes out of India.

Sorry, but it does. And I'm pretty sure that some of the drugs that Kevin... going after come from in the air countries like that too we're getting fucked more than the sleeping american public no way more and we're not even there yet it won't change till it hurts the rich people which when i say rich i mean the millionaires i mean the billionaires then it'll change until then it doesn't fucking matter or just peon well and we die oh well fuck it well and speaking of millionaires i i i always like to end the end the week on a happy story and we're right at the end of the program. Just as a reminder, we go into the weekend, $4,600 in the hole for the month of April.

That's the deepest deficit we've ever faced. If anybody wants to help out or if you know a limousine liberal out there who would like to kick in a few thousand, a few thousand simoleans, poke them, nudge them a little bit because independent liberal progressive media matters. No, like I said, a happy story. This is the story of Ernie Dosio. He was 75. He's a millionaire vineyard tycoon. And he was in, he's from Lodi, California, and he's a big-time game hunter.

Boy, I tell you what, he lived. He didn't live to grow grapes. He lived to kill. animals that weren't doing a goddamn thing to do with him. So he was off on a hunt in Africa for the yellow-backed Dweaker, D-U-I-K-E-R, it's a species of antelope. He was in Gabon. And he and his great white hunter pal,

I don't know, just a professional hunter is how he's referred to. uh well they they were stomping around looking for these antelope when they surprised a uh a small gathering of five mama elephants caring for a little elephant calf god baby elephants are so freaking adorable and uh well the minute they saw the men with the guns the mama elephants well it's just like the motto goes in the Mandalorian

protect the child and the mama elephants came and stomp that 75 year old millionaire from Lodi California to the goddamn death and he and according to the story he was really hoping to bag a whole

bunch of animals while he was there in Gabon the group The group that he was hunting with Bobby Hanson safaris bragged it Dosio had killed a fantastic lion and an exceptional gems buck on his last hunt

Ernie joined us once again this season to hunt for lion and leopard He took a fantastic lion in some great plains game although Mr. Spots eluded us, that's the leopard. We had males feeding that did not return. We saw one male during the day, but we'll get you a leopard, Ernie. Oopsie. Instead, well, you know what that white squishy stuff is between an elephant's toes?

Ernie Dosio. Yeah. What a way to go. Lunch was good and drinks were free. Best $20, best $20, best $20, I've ever. spent RIP, Papa Ernie. You knew you're going to get her eventually with using all your past tense he was

and he did. You really stomp it out before we got to the end of the end. Sorry. Well, sometimes it's unavoidable, Jeremy. Good for that group of elephants protecting the young at the risk of their own lives. Good for them. Mamas are going to do that.

Yes. Mama's going to do. You don't have a mama bear. One retired hunter said, I'd rather not go into detail, but he's safe to assume it would have been quick, and he was very well-known and popular hunter in the US, and in Africa, and a very keen conservationist, and he did a hell of a lot of charity work, and he's a really good guy.

Not good enough to keep him from slaughtering animals. And, yeah, like I said, it's a happy-ending kind of story, and lo and behold, there's Cynthia in the Bay Area, who simply says, Yay, and good riddance to that psychopathic hunter filth. He won't be missed by me, and I bet he squished real good. Yeah. And going back to the inducements against war,

Darrell and Houston says, as long as there are no international entities, UN, World Court, etc., with real power, that cannot be vetoed by any single nation. There will be no real inducement against war. That's probably true. Yeah, and Randy Radar, I thought of that too. Yeah, stuck in Lodi again.

Yeah. Like I said, at least we had a happy ending. Ralph said she will extend her low IQ challenge for anybody who wants to meet it. That would get us down to 4550 for the funding deficit. Thanks, everybody. I'm sorry I didn't get to hear from Christopher. Christopher came in in the middle of the great, well, that extended conversational thread. You okay.

Hey, Roxanne. How you doing, Christopher? Hey, you too. I've been having audio problems. My laptop, I don't know what the hell is going on, so I'm on my phone now. Yeah, I noticed you came in under one avatar and then left and came in under another. I get it. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
