Thank you very much indeed. uh as to the fundraising deficit well uh to get us out of the month of june fully funded is a truly horrifying number 5,815 dollars um that's not quite an entire month but it's close enough to be uh horrifying as we and you know especially in contemplation of you know the next month being similar and the next thing you know we're unfunded for two months three months and it's not good for the soul no quick update um i did i knocked off early yesterday and went across the

went across the river down to the settlements for tarping provisions and uh got some tarps and did some preliminary work today on trying to get uh the the the roof over the fabulous horn studios um water impervious. It's a work in progress. I've never done this before. So I'm hoping I don't screw it up. I've been watching some YouTube videos and whatnot. You know, apart from everything else, Mrs. Lincoln, how is the play?

Yeah. I said we would be spending time on the our most puissant dread sovereign supreme catholic majesties and we will these are i i'm i'm struggling for words honestly uh for just how vile how filthy how ugly how vulgar how fascist the majority of this supreme court is awful. I mean, you'd be hard-pressed to compare them with, say, the judicial system of the Third Reich and come away with anything, but, well, hey, look, that Venn diagram is just a circle. And the thing is, what's that, Jeremy?

Are we trying to drive the program into the gutter before the program's even a half an hour old? Oh, the juvenile delinquents, yeah. Sorry. Don't have any of those around here. And yes, I understand the archaic meaning of the, mm-hmm. It ain't my mind that's in the gutter, Jeremy. I don't know. True, true.

Brother Deacon Ace is saying, I've never done this before. Do yourself a favor and take Brother Bishop Steve, all around great guy from Georgia Stan's advice, and call the guy. Well, I would. But there's this little problem right now of $5,815. Because the bills, they're awaiting payment. And I would call the guy,

but the first thing the guy would tell me would be I'll do it for this much this much coin and I'd say okay I'll call you back when I've got that coin because we ain't got that coin I'm all in favor of calling the guy I'd like to just get the whole roofery done

and you know I'm watching I'm sorry for even talking about this but I'm watching the weather and going, please don't rain, please don't rain, please don't rain, please don't rain. And, you know, I'm looking back 30 years ago when we were putting an Andura roof on this house and the other house as well. I did our house over in the country, a few counties over, and my lovely parents said, hey, that looks pretty good. We'll get it done here too.

And in both cases, it turned out to be crap. You can't just use, Andorra was what it was called, and it was some sort of like fibrous nylon sprayed over an asphalt core. It looked like corrugated roughing, metal roofing, but it wasn't metal. And you could only install it with their proprietary coated nails, which were long, and they kind of had backwards. barbs trigger warning for anybody who loves their fur babies because i was thinking about this yesterday as i was headed over tarp shopping long before the golden one was ever even an idea in

uh annette's mind or mine he is her he is her doggy but him auntie love him very much we had a and I've mentioned her before she lives in memory just sweet sweet sweet sweet dog we had a yellow lab I was a prosecutor

at the time and I thought I was giving her a Shakespeare name and then when I'd take the puppy around take her to work with me and whatnot they'd say well what's what's the puppy's name when I said Miranda and they went

ah that's great uh a prosecuting attorney with a dog named Miranda I love it was like oh shit I wasn't even thinking about that I was naming her after

the the character in Shakespeare's the tempest but we had the at the house there we had the uh Hondura roof put on with these proprietary

nails I think you know where this is going. And one day, we were out walking in the yard. She was a very, very good girl. I mean, she walked right beside you, and she'd heal, and she knew all of her commands. I think her grandfather was a certified bomb-sniffing dog

at, like, Miami International or so we were told. She certainly had the intelligence in Yellow Lab. are wonderful. But we were walking in the yard one day, and all of a sudden she squealed and cried out. And the asshole, who had installed the roof there and also installed the roof here,

by the way, fuckers dead, hadn't cleaned up properly after himself, and my poor doggy had stepped on one of those godforsaken nails, and it ran straight up. She didn't run through her paw. ran straight up her paw and like i said it was kind of had backward barbs on it so you couldn't take it out

and we lived deep in the country uh when uh when when when our family was growing and the cravings would hit um i remember one time the three hour round trip to go and get shrimp uh for a net because that's what she wanted and by God that's what I wanted her to have. And, you know, getting down, you know, when the kids were in diapers, getting down to diaper crisis, that was a two-hour round trip. I mean, we lived in the country. You know, West Virginia has a lot of places like that. Long before food desert or diaper desert or shrimp desert was even a concept.

So I had to pack poor little Miranda into the seat of my truck and somehow get the seat belt around her and drive, oh God, 70 miles one way to the vet in Ripley. and the vet kindly gave her some happy meds and asked me how it happened and I explained and I said if I ever set eyes on that son of a bitch again he's going to wish I hadn't and so Miranda came home with a a pretty

pretty bickly bandaged paw and she was so good she didn't even need the cone of shame. She was so smart. And, you know, she lived with us. Yellow Labs aren't known for their long lifespan, but she lived with us for 15 years.

And died in my arms. Roxanne, you little ray of sunshine, you. But she was, and so these same nails are, what is ostensibly holding down what remains of the Andura here. The main body of the house is metal, metal roughing. But didn't have the money way back when we replaced that after the Direcho blew that off.

And this is, you know, we've sort of done what we could to keep it going. And now we're at the point where, you know, we can't. Thank you, dear anonymous friend. Thank you so much. We are, we're not, so we won't be a goose egg this evening, and we are down below $5,800. We're down to $5794. Thank you so, so much.

But anyway, at some point, I'm going to call the guy, Brother Deacon. I really am. as soon as I have the wherewithal so to do and probably take all of that nasty shit up and just put more metal roofing down on it. So fingers crossed. But you gave me a giggle with the take Steve's advice, call the guy.

Hi Steve, I don't know if you and Ms. Karen are out there, but hi. Thinking. You know, over the years, we've called the guy. It's not about the cat. There have been some real moments. Scott with his monkey doing arithmetic. Yeah. But anyway, like I said, it's thorn in the side Thursday,

not nail in the paw Thursday. And it's thorny. And so to that end, yeah, we need to get to exactly what our most puissant supreme, most puissant dread sovereign, supreme Catholic majesties did today. And just a heads up, you know, we're almost out of June, and these fuckers are doing it again. And I swear, I think I would call these fuckers these fuckers to their face,

especially Sammy Bad Breath and Clarence pubs on the Coke Can Fappy Thomas. They're just disgusting. And they proved it in spades today. But when I said they're doing what they always do, They're waiting. Everybody is waiting with bated breath on tenter hooks for the 14th Amendment ruling. And, you know, we've made the argument here from time to time that there's always some horse trading going on up there in the spring court building. I don't know if I, I don't know if I feel confident about that at this point. but today was awful

and justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson appear to have had just about all they can stand but again the baited breath and the tenter hooks were waiting on the 14th Amendment decision to find out if they are going to take the citizenship away

from children born in the United States and honestly I don't feel good about it because if they were just if they were just going to tell nitwit Nero no they could have done it any time during this term but once again it looks like they're going to announce their decision and then scamp her off

look he scamp it off the justices ran away away oh we didn't yeah what's that Matt in San Francisco, Miranda, made me think of a doggy girl I had back in the day when I lived in the Mission District. She was a husky mix. Oh, I was going to name her Puta.

Then I thought better of it, picturing myself roaming around the predominantly Hispanic neighborhood calling out Pouda! Puda! I settled on naming her Jezebel. Good call, Matt. Good. And I know she must have been a wonderful girl. I love Huskies. They're so conversational and so dramatic. I'm so glad you made the choice you did. Matt, you could have gotten cut. But no, it was nasty.

Just in terms of Supreme Court decision, of their tradition, the author of the decision will often read the decisions and then read the dissent. And, well, Sammy Bad Breath got visibly red in the face. Good. I hope it didn't hurt too little. Just to set the stage, the decisions in question today were all fascist majority decisions. They were all white supremacist decisions. They were all gun, well, there was one gun-humper decision.

First of all, and it was Monsanto Company. Remember we were talking about Monsanto and being bought by Bayer and all that? Because the word Monsanto had become so toxic because it was associated with Roundup. and God alone knows how many people have gotten cancer. Well, today, our most puissant, dread sovereign, Supreme Catholic majesties ruled that, no, people that Monsanto poisoned with Roundup can't sue, especially the people who were poisoned by Roundup and got cancer. Can't sue.

And they went further, though, and said, The federal pesticide... Wait a minute. I got to do my Sammy Bad Breath of voice. Yeah, your federal pesticide law blocks states from requiring cancer warnings on labels. Are we going to take the labels off cigarettes now, too? I know. It's not directly a pesticide, but I'm sure that any number of pesticides are used in tobacco patches and plots and fields and acres.

all over the country now. God. So, got cancer? Well, even if you know for a goddamn fact that Monsanto and Roundup gave it to you, tough shit, say our most puissant dread sovereign Supreme Catholic majesties. Then there was Wolford versus Lopez.

that was six to three. And that's the gun-humper law. Hawaii, prudently, in my opinion, passed a law in which they said that the owner of, that it would be the general law of the state of Hawaii that anyone who wanted to concealed carry a freedom protecter had to get the express permission of the private property owner in order to concealed carry on their property.

And, you know, these sick bastards, for whom enough, not enough blood has yet been innocent, blood has yet been shed in the United States, said, uh-uh. So in stores, restaurants, hotels, it is now the law of the land that the default setting is that anybody, any gun-humper with a concealed weapon can carry it anywhere they like, absent a sign telling them they can't. and since they're carrying it concealed, there's no way to know if they're even following the goddamn rule. Those two were bad enough, but then we got the real nasties.

The ones that give me the creeps about the 14th Amendment case upcoming. You might recall that a couple of summers back, our most puissant dread sovereign Supreme Catholic majesties, declared that the 14th Amendment did not say what the 14th Amendment did not say what the 14th amendment says when it comes to politicians who seek office having previously supported an insurrection. They said

they added language. Remember? Well, unless Congress does something. It ain't there. It's as clear and as plain as day. And where the gun-humpin

decision was concerned, once again, we find out what hypocrites these fascist animals are because you might recall that for a while now whether it be a woman's bodily autonomy or carrying guns hither thither and yon

the court and frankly every other aspect of Supreme Court jurisprudence in the modern era the court said you have to rely on the history and tradition of the new 90 states of America, the greatest country in the history of the world on earth now today forever in the universe under God. Right? Well, as Justice Kagan pointed out in her dissent,

the history and tradition of the United States is replete with government limitations on people being able to carry their Second Amendment remedies on the private property, will you-nilly? But anyway, so just like judicial restraint, just like every other fraud that this court has come up with, This is just, the history and tradition of the United States is just bullshit. Just absolute crap. And they only use it, you know, originalism, when it suits them.

From Matt in San Francisco, the Supreme. Why didn't they just say we have a longstanding tradition of companies poisoning our citizens with no recourse whatsoever? They kind of did. I mean, look at the history and tradition of the United States. E.I. DuPont de Niemur began as a company in Delaware. I think they started out manufacturing gunpowder for the Young Republic, and, well, it was Katie Bar the Door and off to the races after that. Better living through chemistry.

Right. And from Sylvie, Supreme Court scampering. Every time I hear that word, I'm reminded. into the line in the film The Langaleers. You're scampering. And for anyone who's never watched this old film, go rent it now. It's a thrilling little suspenseful humdinger that will re-implant itself every time you see a power line tower. Oh dear.

TV viewing tip a la Scott in San Diego, courtesy of Sylvie in New Mexico. But like I said, the real nastiness came with two cases regarding immigration. The first was Mullen versus Al Otrolado. Again, a 6-3 decision. The court held it and held

extremely narrowly that a person seeking to enter the United States has to actually make it into the United States before they can be considered for asylum.

And then in Mullen versus Doe, you notice in a trend here, that would be Markguine, who I've got a clip here, was a real prick in Congress today. Little prick. They took on temporary protective status head on.

And they said, that in particular with regard to Haiti and Syria, brown people you know, who have been subjected to horrifying conditions at home and are

seeking asylum in the United States well, our most puissant dread sovereign Supreme Catholic majesties held that nitwit Nero can just withdraw their temporary protected status on a demented whim

and then to make sure it's extra double plus awful they said oh hey no court can review the executive branch's decision regarding temporary protected status you can see why justices

Sotomayor Kagan and Jackson were damn near apoplectic So again, going back to our password, well, we'll let the folks at CNN describe the moment as Sammy Badbreath read the opinions. Lee in New York says two SCOTUS rulings on immigration. Let me guess.

One, get out. And two, stay out. You'd be surprised just exactly how. how prescient you are. Lee, that's exactly what it is. And so, uh, Sammy Bad Breath said he had been blindsided by Justice Sotomayor. I,

you know, I, I have a feeling that these, these opinions get circulated. But, well, Sammy has to have his tantrums. And by the way, just a little reminder, I remember,

when Sammy Bad Breath was nominated to the court? Mm-hmm. Sure do. It was a tragic day for America when they were confirmed when he was confirmed.

Among other things, I remember the late and often great, Robert C. Bird talking about, and these were in the days after 9-11, it was hard to get mail through to the through to one's elected representatives, but

Senator, they ran ads. They ran right-wing 5-0-1-C-3 tax-exempt grifts, ran ads on every radio and TV station in West Virginia saying, call Senator Bird and tell him to support

the nomination of Sammy Bad Breath Alito because Sammy Bad Breath loves free speech. And lo and behold, shortly thereafter, Senator Byrd issued a statement saying, well, I have received many letters from everyday ordinary West Virginians, and I know that they're ordinary everyday West Virginians

because there's coffee cup stains on the writing paper and some random bits of doughnut sugar. And that's how I know there's written by real West Virginians. and said he would support Sammy Bad Breath nomination. And everybody who actually had any working understanding of what a monster Sammy Bad Breath Alito was then, is now. He said, oh, hell, this is going to be bad. This is going to be real bad. Because among other things, when he was just an appellate court judge on the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeal.

deals. Sammy Badreff had approved it was a drug case. You know, war on drugs. We got to throw the law out the window. We can't have no laws. We got a war on drugs here. Yeah, we got a war on drugs here. I mean, we don't got no rules for debt. So he specifically held that it was perfectly A-OK for the cops to strip search and cavity search a little nine-year old girl.

Nothing funny about it. Excuse me. But Shades of Jeffrey Epstein, right? It's horrifying. So anyway, back to CNN and their reporter Joan Biscoupic

who explained the procedural niceties of people having their lives shattered by the Supreme Court of the United States. Court, Alice, John Buscupik, John, you were inside the Supreme Court when we heard these two opinions, very significant opinions. Give us your sense.

Sure, Wolf. You know that we've had a very difficult term already with a lot of tensions between the conservative supermajority and the liberal dissenters, just one, six, three opinion after another. And today, the tension really hit a climax. And it came when Justice Samuel, Alito read three different opinions from the bench. The first one fairly routine, but the second two having to do with immigration and refugee rights, as I know your panelists have already explained to people, but what happened in the courtroom showed not just the division,

but the anger between the two sides and Justice Alito, right there from the bench, accused his liberal colleagues, Sunni Sotomayor, of blindsiding him in effect when she started to read her dissent from the bench. Wolf, as many of our viewers know, typically it's the justice who's reading the majority opinion, who's the only one who speaks. If somebody reads a dissent, in this case from the liberals, really protesting what has happened in this refugee case involving rules for along the Mexican border, Justice Sotomayor wanted to have her two cents. So what happened first? You know, the little woman wanted to speak up and, well, Sammy didn't like that. Can we stop referring to these three members of the court as the liberals?

Because they're not. I've been making this argument for 20 plus years now. There is no such thing as a liberal member of the Supreme Court of the United States. It is the difference between moderates, centrists, and outright fascists. And the outright fascists, well, they've got the bit in there. their case. ...Wolf is Justice Alito, an Niance the court's ruling with a very narrow reading of what it means for an asylum seeker to have arrived in the U.S.

It was looking at federal statute and the definition of arrival and read it in a way that makes it very hard for people who've made their way up through South America and through Mexico to try to get into the U.S. to flee some sort of persecution and claim asylum makes it very hard for them to get considered unless they are physically stepping on soil not just at some port of entry or near the port of entry and so he explains as i said a very narrow reading of that and then before he can start and give the next immigration ruling that also is very restrictive of immigration rights just as sotomayor says she wants to read her dissent from the bench and she

He talks about the consequences for anyone seeking asylum in the U.S. from this ruling. And one of the things she does right from the start wolf is to bring everyone in the courtroom, anyone paying attention back to the Holocaust. And an incident in 1939 when over 900 Jewish refugees tried to come to first Cuba and then America on a ship, for some sort of refugee asylum status and were turned away and taken back and most of them perished in the Holocaust. She details all this and then she talks about the international treaties that then were signed after that to make sure that if someone's trying to come from the U.S. fleeing legitimate persecution because of their based on their religion or some of their

protected status that the U.S. can accommodate those people and she said, This ruling today completely flies in the face of it. And she was right. The Supreme Court today abrogated, God alone knows, how many signed treaties that operate on the same level as constitutional law. But they don't care. They have a mentally defective toddler to appease. And they themselves are fascists.

and the fact of the matter remains that asylum seekers being sent back are sent back to die just like the people on the SS St. Louis. Very, very poignant reading. She was joined, she said, by justices Elena Kagan and Katanji Brown Jackson, the two other liberals,

and she gave some very harrowing examples of what happens to people along the Mexican border they get so close to the U.S. and then can't get in and are subject to all sorts of further, you know, violence and extortion. But then when she finishes, and that takes probably about 10 minutes, Wolf, then Justice Alito, who's going to read another opinion, he stops and he says, if I had known that this dissent was going to deliver that opinion from the bench, I would have said more. I would have said more about why we ruled the way we did. It was a very bitter response to what we had just heard. I think, Wolf, that usually they know when somebody is going to be dissenting, but I guess in this case he didn't.

But then after he said his words against Justice Sotomayor, he then proceeded to talk about the next six to three ruling that, as you heard today from my colleagues, has really restricted the government's use of temporary protected standards. for people from Haiti or Syria, two big wins for the administration and a further revealing of the tension among these nine justices wolf. But bear in mind, if you've got some white South Africans seeking temporary protected status, none of this shit will apply to them because they're white. And they're being imaginarily persecuted.

And just very quickly on this temporary. protected status decision from the Supreme Court. If Syrian refugees have been in the United States legally now for months, if not years, with their families or Haitian refugees, can they now be expelled from the United States by the Trump administration simply because of this decision by the Supreme Court? It depends on where they were at in their status. Well, it can be revoked. As you know, the administration has been trying to revoke this status. Oh, honey, please.

depends on where they are in their... This is a fascist gang that says that they have the right to abduct them on the streets. Abduct them taking their children to school. Abduct their children. Depends. The only depends in this matter are the ones that nitwit narrow soils on the regular. Or irregular, as the case may be. It's extended for people from Haiti and Syria because of conflicts in their home countries.

And basically what Samuel Alito said from the bench was, you know, the administration doesn't want temporary protected status anymore. And if those people were here under temporary protected status, yes, it definitely can be revoked. It depends on exactly what sort of applications they had filed, where they were at in their process. But I'm sure the administration right now is trying to figure out the parameters of all this, but it is not good news for anyone who has previously qualified for people. It's not good news. The trenchant comment coming from Matt in San Francisco. Perished? Interesting word choice.

I would have gone with killed by the Nazis, not perished in the Holocaust. I mean, you know, if you came down with the pneumonia during the Holocaust and died, you perished in the Holocaust. Murdered by Nazis! You're absolutely right, Matt. Absidam-Lutely right. And it's, it,

this, this entire affair was, well, the, how to put it, it, it was shocking, I suppose, to the, uh, one of the, uh, one of the best commentators on the Supreme Court of the United States these days. is Mark Joseph Stern at Slate hosting the Amicus podcast, and somebody at MS now had the good sense to book him to talk about all of this. And, well, he put in proper perspective, even though the person on the hosting desk was Katie Terrible, Mark Joseph Stern still did a top-notch job. This interplay between Sotomayor and Sammy Badbreath is apparently a big deal. Maybe she's trying. I hope she's trying to stoke the stroke. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Because we're in that weird and uncomfortable position where we have to hope these fascists, like Sammy Badbreath and Fappy Thomas that they're. they survive past January the 20th, 2029, and that we somehow managed to get a Democrat in the White House. I know. Dare to dream, right? And Micah, Mika, with an observation,

clear, concise, and to the point, this court has no legitimacy. None whatsoever. Zero. yet we still have to live with them and in some cases die with them because that was one of the things that pissed off Sammy Bad Breath

was when Justice Sotomayor read from the bench and mentioned the St. Louis docked in the Havana Harbor for days the Cuban government refusing to allow them to disembark sailing near the coastline of Miami but the United States government turning them away

because of country quotas and see Justice Sotomayor and this goes to what Matt said a moment ago Justice Sotomayor didn't pretty things up or use nicer words she said the ship sailed to Canada and was again turned away. It eventually returned to Europe.

Tragically, over 500 of the refugees that had attempted to flee were trapped in Western Europe under German control, and over 250 of them died during the Holocaust. Most of them were murdered in the killing centers of Auschwitz and Zobiebore, and the rest died in internment camps in hiding or attempting to evade the Nazis. See, that was what she did. She used the word Nazi. the word Nazi. She used the word murder.

And she directly implicated the legal system of the United States in those murders. And that is what crawled all over Sammy Badbreath because

nothing pisses off a fascist more than being reminded of the consequences of fascism. Supreme Court Justice has long insisted that they are impartial regardless of the president who nominated them. But the court just reached a milestone with six conservatives and three liberal justices in the bench. The court has handed down more six three decisions this term than it did in the last. It has done little to dispel public perception.

That would be six fascists and three moderates, Katie, terrible. And that this court's decisions favor Donald Trump. Joining us law professor at Vanderbilt University and former clerk for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, Brian Fitzpatrick. and co-host of the Amicus podcast for Slate, Mark Joseph Stern. So, Mark, what did the justices do today? Well, they did quite a bit. They allowed Donald Trump to cancel temporary protected status for hundreds of thousands of Haitians and Syrians without judicial review.

They allowed Trump to physically turn away asylum seekers at the border, denying them the right to seek asylum in this country. and they also struck down a Hawaii law that makes it illegal for someone to take a gun on private property without the property owner's consent. All opinions by Justice Samuel Alito, all six to three, as you noted. This is very much an earthquake in several different realms of the law that awards Donald Trump even more power specifically over immigration than he already held, and he already held a lot of it. Brian, do you see this as a win for Donald Trump or a win for something else? Well, you know, I think that this is probably a win for conservative judicial philosophy more than any one person. You know, one of the things that struck me even more than a vote today is how the ground on which the justices are fighting are the grounds that Justice Scalia set forth many, many years ago.

originalism and textualism and that's where the clip ends originalism and textualism all of which are just jurisprudential frauds tissue paper meaningless baloney in support of a judicial so-called philosophy

that's nothing more than sophistry and cruelty and fascism. The time would have been very much better served without booking that Lick-Spiddle Law professor

from Vanderbilt and just letting Mark Joseph Stern speak his peace a victory for conservative judicial philosophy more than anything. Well,

every time someone says it's a victory for originalism. Hopefully, down in hell, fat-dead Tony Scalia gets an extra serving of pineapple. Damn, nation. But to go back to what Sonia Sotomayor said, and when she writes, the three moderates on the court are far better at legal reasoning and legal writing than any of the six fascists because they're actually analyzing the case, the facts, and the law, whereas the six fascists are engaging in a sort of Machiavellian reverse engineering

in which the end justifies the means. In her dissent, Justice Sotomayor continued the majority ignores the statutory context and history, not to mention the longstanding position of the... executive branch, all of which show that any non-citizen arriving at our doorstep and seeking admission must be inspected and allowed to

apply for asylum, regardless of whether her foot has crossed the threshold. Oh, dear God. Sonia Sotomayor said her foot, not his foot. Oh, that probably pissed off Sammy bad breath, extra lots. Because the court today

blesses the executive branch's decision to slam the door shut on all who are fleeing persecution despite the detailed inspection and asylum system that Congress enacted and commands, I respectfully dissent. Justice Sotomayor, that would have been a top-notch sentence if you'd just gotten rid of that extra adverb there respectfully. But she wasn't done.

And she stuck it in Sammy Bad Breath and his. five fascist pals and gave it a twist, making sure that they know they have to live with the evil, the wickedness that they have done. The consequences of today's decision are predictable. More people will die. More people will attempt to cross the border illegally, and some will make it,

while others were not the people more people will be forced to walk along the U.S.-Mexico border in dangerous conditions trying to find a port that will inspect them more people will turn back and be subjected to violence

because of something they cannot or should not have to change about themselves such as their race, their religion, their nationality or political opinion because this is neither what Congress said nor what its words permit I respectfully dissent again respectfully no this court deserves no respect whatsoever and I'm well worn out with that whole consequence well at least you have to have respect for the office not when they're shitting all over the building really no I have no respect for fascists

and I have no regard for what becomes of them. You know, Sandra Day O'Connor is out under the sand or the rubble or whatever out in Arizona, and I suppose her, Greystone says something like First Woman on the Supreme Court, when it should say, did her damned, led dead level best to destroy democracy in the Supreme Court, the United States of America. Because whatever right decision she reached, they were all negated by her decision in Bush v. Gore.

When instead of letting the electoral process play out, she was the swing vote for installing George W. Bush in the White House. And may that forever. be a curse upon her name. And, you know, dissents have no real legal meaning. We all understand that. Except, as I have noted in the past, that history, when decisions proved to, through the lens of history, proved to have been absolutely disastrous. And this court seems hell-bent on trying to get up there with the...

Justice Tani and Dred Scott and the majority that wrote Plessy, well, Justice Sotomayor's dissent, and the ones penned by Justice Jackson and by Justice Kagan will be forever remembered. Kagan dissented in the gun case. Sotomayor dissented in the immigration cases. And Jesus, what a nightmare. But this turn of events in the Supreme Court today feels like it may have been some sort of watershed.

And I wonder if it's sort of prologue to what we can expect in the 14th Amendment birthright citizenship case. Again, at MS now, Dahlia Lithwick, another legal expert, well, she pulled no punches either. Well, I mean, Justice Kagan also says what the justices and Trump's own lawyers won't say. For Donald Trump, it's entirely racial. He doesn't want people from, quote, shithole countries, which is how he describes Haiti. Right. And you'll remember when the Muslim ban, was passed and we had this same completely fatuous debate about, oh, he didn't mean all the things he said and it wasn't really a Muslim ban. And the court twisted itself into pretzels to say

that the words that come out of Donald Trump's mouth have no significance. And this is the same problem on rocket fuel. And to have Justice Alito in his majority just batted away so much so that he won't even acknowledge it, which forces in some sense, Justice Kagan, to read it into the record, to create a dissent where she says, here are the words that were said that are emblematic of what Donald Trump was trying to do. It really tells you, again, the degree to which the gaslighting is truly, truly the thing that is making, I think, particularly today, Justices Kagan and Sotomayor absolutely incandescently angry. because the justices who choose their words carefully chose these words, I'm going to let their words do the talking. This is more from Justice Sotomayor's dissent.

Quote, what happened to the people who were turned away from the border, those turned away from the border, found themselves subject to the very persecution and crime they were fleeing. One woman who had fled Honduras after receiving death threats from gang members was beaten, cut, and knocked on consequences. by an unknown man after being turned back from a port of entry. Another asylum seeker who was turned back at a port three times was later raped in the presence of her child. Those living in migrant camps were subjected to break-ins, robberies, and assaults, facing serious harm at the hands of criminal organizations, including kidnapping, extortion, physical violence, and sexual assault. Some were murdered in Mexico while waiting for an opportunity to be processed by U.S. officials.

One couple that grew discouraged after a month of waiting in a camp near the border decided to cross the river and asked for asylum once they reached U.S. soil, that they were caught in a swift current and drowned. Andrea, sending people to their deaths is precisely what Justice Sotomayor is providing evidence to prove that today's decisions do. Yeah. By the way, Dalia Lithwick is the co-host, along with Mark Joseph Stern, over at the Amicus podcast, they're worth reading and worth listening to. Justice Sotomayor had to do what she did, because silence in the face of homicidal indifference cannot go unremarked upon, cannot go uncondemned. And of course it's not lost on me that, of course, Sammy Bad Breath is a good, good Catholic. I wonder what Pope Leo would have to say about this opinion today. I hope he does. I hope he has something to say. Honestly, I wish he would dig down deep and just chants.

his inner Chicago and just excommunicate every one of the Roman Catholic fucks on the court. You're Roman Catholic? You're out of here. You don't get buried in consecrated ground, you sons of bitches. That. Woo! That would sting. Oh, the Pope's interfering in American politics. No, the Pope's interfering. The Pope is taking charge of his flock. and when they shit all over the teachings of Jesus Christ, he's got a right to do it.

I know, I'm being silly. I'm thinking, you know, hell, I'm back in the 1130s right now. There was a time when the Pope wielded excommunication with extreme prejudice. Like after Henry II said, will no one rid us of this meddlesome Supreme Court justice? I mean, priest, priest. And then his barons set upon Thomas a Beckett and chopped him into chutney. And then, well, the Pope X communicated Henry II.

I mean, everything that... And the thing is, Sammy Badbreath was proud to read those opinions. He was proud of what he had done. He was proud of what he had accomplished in the name of his masters at the Federalist Society. And he deserves the consequences of his words, and the consequences should be excommunication. Because presumably, he takes it seriously. You know, there's nothing to be said for the Pope excommunicating a Southern Baptist or something like that, ex-communicating Jeffrey Epstein, he was never a Catholic in the first place.

But these boys? Yeah. I mean, because they're not just Catholics. They're hardcore Catholics. You know, the kind that walk around with hair, shirts, and barbed wire around their limbs and shit. I wonder what would happen if people started writing letters to the Holy Father saying, could you please I mean, you know, with the broken candles

and you are anathema and all of that stuff and some suitably impressive Latin and incense and ringing of bells and whatnot, could you throw these fuckers out of your church? Because they're not helping the cause of Christ Jesus, your holiness. But, yeah, well, there you are. Leah, New York pointing out, There are 22 Bible verses on welcoming immigrants.

Lee noting, and they tell us this is a Christian nation. Yeah, yeah. Oh, and thank you, Ralphs. Ralphs has a $25 challenge on the table. Nicole Wallace just showed Trump begging people to show up on July 4th to see him. So the $25 Donnie begging challenge is on the table. Thank you. Thank you, Ralphs. Thank you so much. I hope someone will meet that.

But speaking of challenges, oh, my great heavenly days, we have an anonymous challenge, the likes of which I do not recall, but which could prove to be the salvation of this little program and this little studio along the way. We have an offer here, and it is contingent. if we can raise $1,000

in the remainder of the Horn family community congregation if we can raise $1,000 our anonymous benefactor has said I will contribute a one-for-four

pent coupling challenge $4,000 if we can raise $1,000 it will be met with 4,000. And that will fully fund the month of June and keep this program alive for yet another month. That is astonishing.

My breath is taken. It smacks of something miraculous. So, yeah, we're past the middle of the month. Times are hard. But if we can raise a thousand, $5, $10 at a time, whatever. We will be fully funded for the month of June and caught up with May. I'm flabbergasted, speechless, and filled with gratitude.

Because then, among other things, I can, as Brother Deacon Asa pointed out, call the guy. Thank you, thank you. Our benefactor said, I'm putting my money where my cursor is. Thank you again. And so we're off and running. From Georgian Corscold, Olito et al.

Ooh, Sammy Badbreath is going to get a real nice tip from the Federalist gang. Oh my yes. That'll be a dandy. Maybe he'll get to go on another trip. And maybe him and Fappy both can go on another trip with Har Har Har Crow and Li Lo. wrong Leo Thank you so much George Let there be a miracle

Oh and release the Trump Epstein files Here here And Matt in San Francisco says I'm in for 200 And we shall see Yes Yes I will

I will Ralphs And Thank you Sylvie Sylvie saying, it's all I can do. It comes from the grocery money, but I'll make that up with the food bank. I wish it were more. Oh, God, that breaks my heart, Sylvie. Later, when my job comes through, you'll hear from me again. Come on, you guys, we can do this. And so we are at $330. 330.

$330. So that means we've got $670 to go on this matching challenge. The biggest matching challenge we've ever had, I think. So let me get the brown paper bag out and just try and work our way down. 670 to go. Thank you, Matt. Thank you, George. Thank you, Sylvie. And thank you to Texas Tea.

Thank you all. And so, like I said, everybody and anybody was talking about these decisions today. because I think everybody, the people who pay attention to the court, um, holy smokes. David, David, thank you. We have $170 to go on this most amazing challenge. Thank you, David. Thank you.

It turns out that's, it gives me hope. Ever since I walked in here a couple of nights ago and found standing water sitting next to the, uninterruptible power supplies, I confess I've been a bit of a wreck. This can make all the difference in the world. Thank you, Cynthia. My July early. Thank you, Cynthia.

145. Thank you. It's astonishing. All that Sonia Sotomayor did was take 12 minutes of the court's time, but it was enough to throw Sammy bad breath. And by extension, because everybody who signed that, who signed off on that majority opinion, has their hands in the same puddle of blood. And he must have gotten pissed for a reason. Yes, Ralph's, your challenge was met.

And thank you. And thank you, Christopher. We are now down to $45. Nothing has ever happened that quickly. Thank you. but like I said everyone who signed off on that opinion

Christopher that's so kind saying got to get in on this thank you from Micah put me down for 100 I'm driving but I'll send it later then the challenge is met and then some Micah noting earlier

if these are welcome in the Catholic Church that's just all the more reason why I want something I want nothing to do with the fucks. Yeah. Oh, Jesus. Okay. World Cup update, courtesy of the spy.

ASA is still depressed. The polite cyber deacons were beaten by the neutral Nazi gold diggers yesterday, two to one, but they still made it to the next round. The Swiss beat the Canadians. The neutral Nazi gold diggers. diggers. Emilio. Thank you.

Another anonymous contribution. The challenge is Matt. It's met. And I mean, this is the biggest miracle. This is a Thursday miracle of epic proportions. Thank you. Thank you. June is funded.

June is funded. We'll make it to another. And this will do the roof and the bills. It doesn't look like we're going to be excavating the concrete from where we filled in the Olympic-sized pancreas-shaped swimming pool, but not all that enamored of it. For all of you, that meeting that challenge that fast. And Matt and San Francisco, thank you for the reminder, Lee. We're going to give Lee a new nickname, like Miss Manners or Mr. Manners. uh don't let it go to your head says look roxanne says matt don't let it go to your head i just couldn't live with waking up to the headline trans billy hostess electrocuted while condemning trump i would prefer not to go out that way either i was pondering things like that earlier today

transbilly elite transbili elit exits this planet while climbing lie while climbing ladder to install tarp uh But, yeah, Matt, I'm right there with you. Micah saying, just tell me we still have the Gulfstream budget. I like flying it. The minute we get it back from the pawn shop, you're right behind the yoke. You and Brother Deacon Asa both. You can, I don't know, you can fight on the tarmac over who gets to go first. And from Ralph's, woo-hoo, yeah, indeed.

So here at the halfway point of the program, I just want to play one more clip. from the general sense of something just happened today. And the one thing I haven't heard, and I don't know if I'm going to hear it, is that is this a prelude because this decision being this ugly feels like a prelude to whatever is coming with regard to the 14th Amendment birthright citizenship case? Is that why Alito was so pissed off that they had worked out? it that they'd done some horse trading and they were gonna they were gonna shut down nitwit Niro's birthright citizenship argument and then Sonia Sotomayor broke

omerta is that what it was I don't know but over at the MS now again they had the best coverage frankly Lisa Rubin talked about the hissy and how you know it wasn't that big a deal. It's not like the, it's not the first time that he's been called out by a dissent being read after one of his opinions or one of his buddy Fappies. I'm not going to read all of it. She spoke very calmly, but apparently to people in the room with a ton of passion. She drew comparisons to the aftermath of World War II saying the majority had an overly narrow interpretation of arriving in. She used words like egregious and illogical. Well, so the legal issue here is whether

the term arriving in the United States prevents people who are basically stopped at the border from claiming asylum. That phrase arriving in the United States is what is necessary. It's a prerequisite to being able to claim asylum. Now, of course, the turnback policy that Fallon was referring to or what some people call metering, that precludes people from actually physically arriving in the United States so that they can claim asylum. And Justice Sotomayor's dissent is very focused on what she thinks is sort of the prevent. adverse injustice of that. If I can read from one paragraph of it, she says, the court today holds that the executive branch may circumvent all these mandatory procedures by having U.S. immigration officers stand at the border and physically block non-citizens from setting a foot onto U.S. soil. They may do so even if the asylum seeker is at the threshold of a port of entry, meaning at the border, designated to receive all non-citizens who seek entrance into the country. Even if the port of entry has ample capacity to inspect that person, including an available, asylum officer trained to process asylum applications even if the asylum seeker is certain to be

persecuted or killed if she is turned away i want to go back to what you were mentioning about justice sodomiore reading her dissent from the bench that's certainly not unusual many justices will read their dissents out loud but here there was a moment of tension between justices so to my or with her dissent and justice alito who wrote the majority opinion here our producer peggy helman who is in the court for the reading of all of these decisions said that Justice Alito said in response out loud, there's much I would have added if I had known a dissent would be read from the bench. And she said that people in the Supreme Court, in the gallery, gasped when he said that. Because this is a group of people that for

all of their differences in terms of legal interpretive methodology or even the outcome of cases, they like to make it seem as if they get along, that they are all just rowing in the same direction, trying to do their job to uphold the rule of law, even when their conceptions of what the rule of law is differs. That very obvious public fracture between the two of them was one that was surprising even to the most veteran court watchers in the room today, Antonio. Temadio, one of the reasons why in her response in her dissent, she's talking about World War two here is because she's referencing an incident in which hundreds of refugees came in five hundred of them ended up trapped. This is people fleeing the Holocaust, of course. And I think

many people know of these incidents in which people were literally fleeing and begging for safety, whether it was in the United States or other countries in that period. And 250 people died as a result of them being turned away in that incident. She's drawing that comparison to what we are doing to migrants, to refugees now. When you look at this decision and then take it in concert with what we've just discussing, what's happening with the dismantling of temporary protected status. What's left of our asylum system? Yeah, I mean, not much. Nothing.

Exactly the goal. And to be clear, asylum is a legal path to being legally president in the United States. And what they're doing here is in a sense narrowing a legal path, people who are coming to the American border and taking advantage of what Congress has said should be the law. You've not seen Congress stand up and take action and revise U.S. law. What we are seeing, though, is the judiciary who is allowing the executive to basically recreate immigration policy without changing a single word in statute and narrow what are legal paths. And I think that comparison you have is apt because, and not to get into, you know, what's

happening in South America, but I think it's clear that folks who are coming here, traveling, traversing these terrible conditions are doing so because they're facing real threats. they're doing it for their children for better life to come in for the American dream here. And what Congress is, excuse me, what the judiciary has done is disregarded all of that. Now, it's not judicial's role to enact that policy, but it is the judiciary's role to effectuate what Congress put into law, and they accept away from that. Temadio, Aganga, Williams, Lisa Rubin, Fallon Gallagher, and Alan Orr, thank you all so much. Straight ahead, the first reactions that we're getting from the White House to today's rule. never mind that have you noticed that there's one name that has not been mentioned in this entire disgusting display of fascist will to power we had a quote from him yesterday i mentioned it on the program he ran to x and posted a six-word excrement change the voters change the country that was stephen miller

a man who, like I said, I've almost come to believe as the reincarnation of Reinhardt Haydrich. To say he is a racist is to undersell the concept of racism. To say that he is genocidal is to undersell the concept of being genocidal. To say that he is a monster is an insult to monsters. He, and this goes back to something Randy Radar has been saying about, you know, who's actually running the show in the White House. Well, he's running the show where immigration, refugees, the ice goons. Mark Wayne Mullen, just like Krusty the nasty Nazi gnome before him, is a figurehead. Stephen Miller is on a Nazi rampage.

And, you know, I don't call people Nazis just because somebody brings me, an insufficiently hot cup of coffee. I'm not Alan Dershowitz. He's a Nazi. And nobody's really mentioned him in any of these clips that we have heard in the last hour and 40 minutes or so. And I sincerely don't know how you don't mention that. But he's the problem. You sure, Nitwit Niro is a problem.

He's the president of the United States. the author of this evil is a little skinhead pissant with a predilection for eating mayonnaise right out of the jar. And if I had the, if I, if I, if I got a cold shiver before thinking about being in the proximity of that man, I'm looking at it now, I'm positively nauseated. Jesus. And there's a lot more to get into. today was the first day of the great American state fair

which is of course is a contradiction in terms and it's God or yesterday was the first day the 24th you remember when when the world got a collective

case of the you know the blind shivers when Rosanne did the National Antiches them. Yeah, this is even more. Gross. But we'll get to that in good time because someone is waiting patiently on the stress line.

Let's find out who. Hey, welcome to the program. God damn, the fascist on this otherwise honorable court. Otherwise is doing a lot of work there, Dave. I know, girl, but, hey, the Constitution needs the biggest lift. she's ever had. And frankly, I'm glad

I was present to witness the miracle. As you know, things have been kind of dark around here. Oh, I know. In fact, I was thinking about you yesterday. It's like we haven't heard

from Dave in a while. You've got good news? Yes, ma'am. I do. My dad is in negotiation for a house in Muncie. A nice little three-bedroom place. One level, a ranch style built in the 50s.

And if it's everything, and if it works out, girl, I could see myself dying there. I would prefer you not see yourself doing that anytime soon. Can we stay away from me? No, I'm thinking, well, now, now, now, now, come this

Fourth of July, I don't know if I've told you all this story about the scar on my right pinky. I have a lightning-shaped scar on my right pinky that I got on the 4th of July, 1976. When Adele, my dad had set up in the front yard, slipped off its hands and pinched my fingers. My brother and I were ringing. it after our parents told us not to. And so every Fourth of July since then, I've wished my pinky scar, a happy birthday,

and he's turning 50 this year. So I don't care about Mitt Wittner's State Fair. We don't have 50 states. We got a couple of republics, a few. Commonwealth, at least one former kingdom, and the rest can call themselves state. We are the reason that the United Nations is not known as the United States, because the name was already taken. Because in diplomatic circles, countries are referred to as state, state actors, which Nick Witt Niro still

thinks she's about to get an Oscar. The beauty of it is, Roxanne. I the police has been out to the motel. And several of my neighbors are

how shall we say it, with once in one. there were 100 people living in this motel as of last week 10 of them got put out because the cops raided the place on warn I haven't heard gunfire since then

it's been a week and I feel safer but I'm still getting the fuck out of Dodge yeah I mean that that's like having oh dear I'm trying not to get in trouble here. That's like having one foot of water in your basement instead of three. Correct. Now,

do not challenge worse. You don't want the goddess of irony's attention in the wrong way. No. But, and, and my dear, I don't have enough rubber chickens to offset the, the calamity that would occur if that happened. I just don't. You know what? A gross of rubber chickens are running for these days? Oh, it's probably steep. Well, it's close to $10 per bird. I actually look at the wall of...

Hell, that's more expensive than the real birds. Yes, ma'am, it is. Is that with or without clucker? I do believe that's with clucker. But personally, I don't want to cross the goddess of irony on this one. She had an occasion to play with me over the last several months. Thank you, dear. But, yeah, I found out that one of the guys that was living in my house

is now living in my former apartment rent free for the last three months. But how long? But you had to bring. Great camp. Yeah. Because the new owner wants him to keep an eye on things and take the trash out and keep the property secured. This guy doesn't do jack shit except get up in the morning, walk to the gas station, get a cup of coffee. Franklin girl, I'm not happy.

But shall we, uh, I'm going to send, uh, something else that gives me encouragement. And I think Ruth Bader Ginsburg, wherever she is, is looking down and going, all right, Sonia,

put those little stank on it, you know. Because you know if the notorious RVG we're alive, she'd be reading her opinion from the bench. And damn, one of the words. Leo saw. Yeah, but what a prissy little bitch he is, though. Don't you?

It's like the clip. Lisa Rubin pointed out, it's nothing new to read a dissent from the bench, but when she called out and said that he and his other five buddies had their hands coated in blood, I mean, she did it in a very nice way. in a very formal and professional way. Yeah, but they knew what they were being told. And you know what? They can fucking own it.

Yeah. They were proud of their opinion until, you know, they got called out. Frankly, I don't think there are enough rosaries out there to expiate those sins, Roxanne. I don't. I don't think they've made enough rosaries over the century. to, if you prayed every one of them every day for every minute of every hour, every century, these guys would still be getting pineapples shoved up their keister. I love a good use of the antiquated word keister.

Well, I'm a literate fellow. Well, if that you are. But, you know, I know. I know things are tough in the community. I know what a rough time we've all had over the last year, but I am encouraged, Roxanne. I really am. And I'm looking for,

I'm actually looking forward to going to Moncie with the beloved ex-wife for the fourth. And the nice thing about this house is Dad gets it. It's a three-bedroom. now I have a roommate named Cliff I'm going to rent him a room but I'm going to leave the third room for when Christine comes to visit for family holidays

and such so that you know she can have a place to stay and she's contemplating having to give up to cats

so she's looking to be home the kitty because she doesn't feel she can take the proper cab anymore. So I've been helping her with that. But I don't want to do it. I'm like, yeah, but you can take your time and make sure it's done right so that they have the best chance possible. And it just breaks my heart. She loves those cats.

Now, they'll bounce all over her like a trampoline, but she's a human. That's what she's there for. Or at least that discussion going on among the cats. If I'm not right, the cats know. You may consult with your local

felines. They'll probably tell you that we're on the right track where we're not telling. Yeah. Speaking of a fuzzy butt how are the fuzzy ones in your house? Oh, they are literally fine and fat and happy. Thunderstorms and fireworks, notwithstanding.

Oh, well, now, this is the special time of gear, Roxanne. The Fourth of July is also known as Cuddle Your Pets Day, especially when the fireworks start going on. and the golden child is crawling under your chair going, he's happy to keep the boom-booms away. Oh, it was, no, he, he meaped. It's rough when that big, beautiful boy meets, but by the same token, the kitties didn't like it at all,

and little Miss Lucy tried, well, she climbed me like. a tree. It wasn't, and she was in a hurry, too. She left marks. So she wasn't particularly cautious about where her claws were at that moment? No, she was in a hurry. And she got up around my neck and draped herself around my neck like a stole. Oh, good Lord.

Poor thing. When the first, when the first shells went up, she was surprised. And I made a point of being with her when it happened. And she started stalking the room, trying to find out where the noise was coming from. And then when she couldn't find it, she's like, if I can't find it, it's bad.

And that's when she climbed me. She scaled me. Yeah, that's when she said, hey, she's tall. I can climb her and see from the, top of her shoulder. So she was playing pirate kitty. Oh, Yarr. Yeah.

Oh, okay. Well, let's see. Oh, yeah. And the third thing I love about the Fourth of July, this year, I might actually get to meet my baby sister, Jennifer. Oh. Well, I was right. But she works as a nursing home nurse, and she's a. may have already taken her a shift.

Because Bob told me he was going to call her and let her know I was coming up to the fourth and there she could take the day off. You can definitely need. So I'm hoping. I'm not depending on it, but I'm hoping. My niece Olivia, her daughter is now 13 when I'm saying, God, I'm feeling old. Yeah, that happens from time to time. I am feeling like an old man.

Yeah, I know. I know, but it beats the alternative. And I went to the hospital a couple of weeks ago. I don't know if I told you this. They gave me a buterol and morphine because I had pneumonia. Oh, dear heavens. And I can now understand. with quite distinct clarity what the attraction of opiates are.

I never, I hadn't had opium. I hadn't had morphine in over 40 years, and may I not have it for another 40 years? Jesus, they gave you opium? I mean, morphine? Wow. Yeah, in a dress. They gave me a small amount of morphine in a drip.

I was conscious during the whole thing, but, girl, I was so relaxed. I didn't have a care in the world. The world could have blown up around me, and I'd have been fine with it. And the most you would have been capable of was taking up knitting. Yeah, I think there's a Star Trek episode to that effect.

Or just doing what I did, I stretched out on the bed. I turned my phone off and I I slept for and get the five hours straight in the ER I don't I don't sleep for five hours

at a time unless I'm drunk and I sure's hell wasn't drunk they did an MRI of my chest I hate MRI I really do

Oh, yeah, in the tube? Uh-huh. I always feel like I'm a corpse about to be examined by the corner when they put me in that thing. But, yeah, they gave me a breathing mask full of a buterol that taste like shit. Thank God I have to be. Fis vile, yeah. Thank God I had the morphine drip, otherwise it had been intolerable. I couldn't breathe through my nose, so I had to breathe through my mouth.

And when I breath through my mouth, I got the full flavor. Oh, my God. Yeah, it, no, nasty, nasty. But as to going up to the months, one of the biggest treats I'm going to have, is I know my sister Kathy. Kathy and I and my brother Bob, when we were kids, mom was raising us by herself. She wasn't getting any support, child support from dad.

And so things were on kind of a shoestring. And mom would make like Frito. pie, you know, chile with corn chips, a little bit of onion, and a little bit of cheese, and then you told the kids they were eating high on the hog. Mom, why don't you have something?

I've already eaten out. Which was a bold face line, you know. And, but as a result, my sister, Kathy, looked for a really good man to marry, and she,

found them and when she cooks for people and she does this year round she overcooks for ever I mean she makes more food and they can possibly eat at that house so she'll take some down to the neighbors or she'll take some over to dad or you know something and I was teasing and Christine, I said, Chris, you know, you know what's going to happen. Kat's going to find out that you're on the way with me, and she's going to go all out, and we're probably going to be carrying food home. I mean, girl, I know you know about the plate tradition, you know. Yes.

Take a plate home. Absolutely. Take a plate home, then. And that's a very southern thing. Christine's parents were from Georgia and Tennessee, respectively. And so that was ingrained in her as a child. Even when she cooked, we used to have guests, oh, take a bowl home.

One time a friend of ours went to jail and she made a pork roast for his wife. and took it over to her. You know, and that kind of thing. You know, that's not something unusual. But with Kathy, it's more of a religious thing. My niece who's getting married in October. Asked me one time, why does she send food home every time I come home?

She sends me half a refrigerator full. of food. Back in my roommate to eat most of it, I'm like, honey, you've got to understand where your mom comes from. I said, that's her way of showing you that she loves

you. So your best bed, she's like, I wish she wouldn't do that. I'm like, hunting, your best bed is just to say, I love you, mom. Thank you. Sage advice. Because you're not going to change you.

You're not going to change her. And I explained where it came from. Now, my dad has turned into a much better man than he was back then. He was young when he got married. They were young when they got divorced. And their egos got in the way of what was best for us, kid, in my opinion. And unfortunately, the courts didn't have what they, a lot. of them do now where the court will order, you know, parenting management classes where, you know,

if you've got a conflict with each other, not to bring it in to the kids, you know, don't put the kids in the middle of it. And that's just a way for the courts to avoid things like abusive situations are violent. And, um, I understand. afraid, Laxan, I'm afraid that our humanity is being drummed out of us by these douchebags

because you have you have actual at least in the Democratic Party, you have actual primaries where different candidates

test their opinions and their policies and what they want to do with the office. And I think that's a healthy thing. I think where the Democratic Party has made a mistake over the last 40 years is they've tried to become rigging light, not quite as conservative. instead of standing up for their principles. So they're going to call you a communist. They're always going to call you a fucking communist. You could be running a billion-dollar company

and they call you a fucking communist. That's the whole point. Anybody they don't like. Right. Yeah. Well, it's like there used to be rules on the house floor. You couldn't call a fellow member a son of a bitch, which you could call them a communist

because calling your colleague a son of a bitch would be outside of the quorum but calling him a communist would be a political a political position and not a personal attack I don't know

and I think I'd take it pretty goddamn personally Yeah Especially if they're trying to use it this year. Well, and look, I mean, there's a lot of, there's a lot of ground to cover in that. Calling someone a liberal, as I noted

last year or so, they tried it on JFK and he's, and he put it back in their face and said, yeah, I am. Next. And gave a long laundry list of what that meant to him. Well, I think,

Uh, Mayor McNally, uh, did the right thing when he went to the White House. Now, now, hear me out. They were, they were sharpening their knives just waiting. Well, he was going to disrespect the president with all that crap, right? You would have thought those two hadn't seen each other in 10 years and were just catching up. So I don't know. Hold on a second. There, there's some background noise.

I had you on speaker, but now I can talk a little clearer, so there's not as much interference. But I'm wondering what I have not been able to listen the last few days. but I'm wondering how you're feeling about I'm liking some of the new blood that's coming in there I mean you've got people who have who have real bona fide's one about the the three-star admiral that

peg breath dismissed out of hand she ran in her district and if they left her alone she'd still be in the Navy and apolitical she wouldn't be running for Congress they're asking for problems but they think they don't worry about it because they think well you know we can just tar them as liberals

and, you know, they think that every state is Alabama. Okay. Roxanne, I've met a couple of flag officers over the years. Not one of them. Not one would I consider a liberal. Those are usually very by the book people. They may have some very distinct personalities, but they have a method of operating.

And, you know. Well, and flag officers. officers have and this well I'm biased because of my own experience but uh flag officers tend to think very highly of themselves but the best ones think more highly of the people they command um a naval flag officer going back probably to the to the very first people who set out in a boat a ship's captain is God almighty. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

When he's aboard and you're out there in the middle of nowhere, he is God Almighty. That's one of the reasons of the tradition of a captain being able to marry people aboard ship because you don't have an official around that could normally do it. So it became a tradition that that's what would happen. But I dealt with a couple of flat officers. It really is. Very nice people, you know, he's very polite.

And you're right that they're proud of the people they command. I've been reading some stuff on George Patton. toward the end of the war, evidently there was one incident where they captured a German general, and the German general, the German generals, would refuse to talk for days. And they went and they told Patton and Patton said, I'm going to go see him. And he walked in and it was just the general, the translator and Patton.

and Patton looked at the general and said, General, if you fought nearly as stubbornly as you refused to talk to me, then we'd probably still be fighting, which caused the German general a smile a bit. And then that started the conversation. But he was, I mean, you know, blood and guts and all.

Yes, he had that, but he also had the ability to look at an enemy or a former enemy and get right down to the heart of it. And there was another incident where some German boys, and they were teenagers who were throwing rocks at American soldiers. and he asked his officers he said how old are these. They're teenagers. He goes, you have to understand they've spent their entire lives being told we're evil

and that we're going to hurt them. So you have to understand what they've been taught because they were going, well, we need to prosecute them. And Patton was like, no. We need to confront it. We need to talk to them.

We need to talk to them down. It was basically the order that came through. So I think... And did you know that in the years after both were dead, the families of Patton and... Romel actually became dear friends? Yeah, I heard. I believe Romel's name was Manfred, if I recall correctly.

Yeah, I think you're right. Rommel, you're elegant bastard, I read your book. Yeah. No, not Manfred. Manfred Romel was a young officer who was pulled. pulled off the line and brought to his father's home right before the general showed up, giving him the option of being executed or killing himself. And I think that Donnie is definitely a tater with no dick.

He wants to throw a temper tantrum. I want, I want, I want, what was the Ravalama Dengong for? Titer with no dick. Okay. I thought that might be the case. But, you know, but, you know, these guys are still wearing their Trump-branded knee pads and the Chin Guard and the special Trump-branded polarized eyewear. Don't forget the bib. Well, no, no, no, no, no.

You don't wear a bed because you need to show all the lurkings so that every other maggot knows you've been there already. That's what that. Well, you may have been gone for a little while, but you just, you, man, you just, you just, you just put one right at midships at the dinner hour and the Mountain Daylight time zone day. Well, honey, I, I, I ruined meals all over. the world. It's a gift. It is an absolute gift and it's a burden as well. I have to do it creatively and I can't do it the same way twice. Unfortunately, I don't have your problem. I don't have

to do it backwards in heels. So, you know, there's that. I mean, we have some talented meal ruiners around the community, that in San Francisco. And I appreciate everybody taking up the slack while I've been gone. I really do. It's given me a chance to get some things done, but I don't want to disappoint you all. So I'll tell you what, Roxanne. I will let you go. and I will talk to you some time soon.

All right, you take care. And by the way, and that's the most important thing. And Ralph said that she certainly hopes that Christine finds a good home for the kitties. Well, she's talking about training more animal control, but there's certain steps that she has to do. And I said, well, they're good cats. They're very friendly, especially devoid. Well, they're like five or six years old.

They're very friendly. And you know boy kitties are cuddled bunnies anyway. Yeah, because the girls do all the work. Well, I mean, that's pretty much the feline world in general. Right. Well, see, the boys at Christine's house always snuggle mom. I mean, they have a schedule. get up in the morning, bounce on mom, wake her up, get fed, go eat, go to the box, and then go to snuggle mom.

Oh, they sound like good kitties. By the way, you just got a note from Matt in San Francisco. Dave in the Blind is a poor person's ozempic. I'm a what? You're a poor person's ozempic, you know, a GLP 1, a weight loss aid. ruining dinner. Well, you know, well, Matt, I'm not making my jokes without a license. Well, maybe I am.

But it's not like I'm practicing medicine without a license unless good humor is, well, they say laughter is the best medicine, so maybe I should just shut up before the Indiana medical boards look over me and go off. Dave, we need to have a word with you over here. A word, please. Yeah, I, yeah. Do you know how much depression you're relieving around this state and without a license? Oh, and, you know, that's all Eli Willie's money backing that up.

since they're my neighbors I got to I can deal with those assholes so oh by the way speaking of the library one last thing I

when I was in college and it's at the the Lulie Library at Indiana University is a copy of the Declaration of Independence that was printed on the 4th and published on the 5th of July 1776, under the direction of Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson.

Really? Yeah, and it's one of four known copies, and it had a little nail hole, and evidently Colonel Willie thought that it was a fake and a couple dozen historians go, no, that's exactly what you would look for something like that. It was meant to be temporary, but

somebody took it down and kept it and it was folded up. I had to wear the cotton conservators gloves, they brought it out in the folder and I was standing next to They have two They have two

Gutenberg Bibles. Neither one is complete, but they have two different Gutenberg Bibles there, and I was standing next to them looking at this thing. And I actually touched those.

And I was like, whoa. Yeah, that's an amazing. That's an amazing experience. You mentioned Eli Lilly. So, and I know you've got to go, I won't keep you a bit of a minute more. I've talked about the bizarre dreams that I have from time to time. And, you know, it's not like I'm lobster daddy, Jordan Peterson, talking about having dreams of having sex with his grandmother.

Mine are just these weird little mind movies. And I had a dream a couple of days ago, and it was strange. I don't know what my subconscious was clearing out of the hard drive. in the defrag process. But I had a dream where Robert Redford,

who is dead, I might add, brought me shares of stock in Eli Lilly and a proxy to vote at the shareholder meeting.

Okay? That's weird enough. And it was one of those where you just wake up and go, where has my poor little mind been going while I'm sleeping what what am i up to right and and and i know it's weird but it's i'm i'm a lucid dreamer and sometimes i wake up the next morning and it's like i've been working all night because it's

well you know you remember the scene from uh clockwork orange where alex has his eyes you know just sort of pinned open and he has to watch the movies and they keep putting the eyedrops in while he's watching pornoes yeah i mean it's it's not porn but Sometimes it feels like that because I try to, you know, I go to sleep and it's like, I'm tired, I'm going to sleep. And then I wind up watching these movies in my mind all night. I don't know. Millennia ago, maybe I was a Shea woman or something.

But now I'm a dreamer. Really lucid. So if you've got just a second, I want to share something with you because you're brought up Eli Lilly. And I ran across this earlier today. It's a, well, the guy will explain himself. This is in a word wild. If it's true, and again, you know, there's a caveat involved.

If it's true, this explains so much. like I said, the guy will identify himself, and then he'll also provide the source of what he is working from. So just take a sec, not that long, but it works a lot better when your humble Ostice unmoots it before she hits play. All better now. This fat fuck has been taking an experimental weight loss drug that no one else has access to in an attempt to keep his sleep apnea, pulmonary hypertension, and congestive heart failure from killing him sooner. I'm a physical therapist with a doctor in my field and 14 years experience working in home health care, treating geriatric patients, many with sleep apnea, heart failure, pulmonary hypertension,

all the bullshit that he has. Lizzie Lawrence from Statt News has learned that Eli Lilly and the FDA have allowed one person to gain access to the drug, Reda Trutide, is its name. through the FDA's compassionate use program, a pathway that gives patients with serious and immediately life-threatening medical issues access to experimental treatments. Let me make sure you caught that. They're letting him use it because the patient has serious and immediately life-threatening medical issues. The senior clinician at the National Institutes of Health requested the drug to treat the patient for refractory obesity with obstructive sleep apnea and pulmonary hypertension, a severe version of the disease. Lawrence reached out to the White House for comment before publication. They said no comment.

After publication, they said, it's not President Trump. That's how we know. It's fucking President Trump. They are trying to address his Nussi-related sleep apnea, congestive heart failure, and pulmonary hypertension primarily through weight loss. And the reason they will go to these lengths is because this motherfucker eats shit all day long and famously hates exercise. This lets us know that he should weigh roughly 300 pounds at the least, if not for taking an experimental weight loss drug. But let me be clear, you are not looking at a classic sleep apnea patient. His sleep apnea and pulmonary hypertension is a result of his congestive heart failure. His heart is in such bad shape that has resulted in systemic disease upstream, from his heart, which is why you have the swelling in the feet and ankles. Any heart failure patients

cannot lie flat on their back and sleep because their internal organs push up against their diaphragm and they cannot take a deep enough breath to actually go to sleep and remain asleep. This is all a result of his heart being shit and they're trying to address the issue from an angle that he'll actually put up with, which is a weekly injection. At this point, he's on 62 days of borrowed time. Who did he borrow the time from? The rule of law in a America, and when his obstructive sleep apnea should have obstructed him permanently, been impeached, or they should have finished the process of invoking the 25th Amendment. Thank you for your attention to this matter. And for anybody who wants to look this guy up, his name is Ronald Thompson.

He doesn't have a whole bunch of followers, but he's got a handful of posts. He describes himself as random dude who gets triggered by the dehumanization of people through misinformation and half-truths. This is not AI. This is for real. And again, he's not simply sourcing it from... He's explaining it. Yeah. The story from stat news, let's see.

Let me go so we can Anybody wants to go and look it up Can do so There Lizzie Lawrence FDA reporter June 23rd 2026 at

Stat News And the drug Has demonstrated Bariatric surgery levels of weight loss Whoa That's like weight loss Like stomach stapling Yeah that's

like losing hundreds of pounds without, I mean, that's where you've got to change your diet and your portions and your exercise plan and everything. And you've got to change everything. And you've got a non-compliant patient who won't do any of it. Now, who do we know that is a non-compliant individual who thinks he knows better than any doctors or professionals or anything. And thinks that every human being, every living being on Earth has a finite number of heart heartbeats and takes a whole adult aspirin instead of a baby aspirin because he wants to keep

his blood extra thin. That ain't how it works. No. No, it's not. But who do we... I've heard some guy like that, Roxanne. I'm just trying to... to remember the name. Yeah. I'm having a hard time place in it though. But see what happens here, Dave? All you had to do is say

Eli Lilly. And it started with Matt and San Francisco saying that you, Dave, in the blind, are the poor man's Ozempic. And then the Cascade, the Horn Hive Mine Cascade effect kicked in. So the bottom line here,

if this guy's correct, he's one foot in the grave, and and that foot's on a banana peel and the other foot's on a banana peel. Well, you know, I think that the individual I'm trying to think of should have been dead about six months ago. Well, and it plays into something else, too, though. You know, they put J.D. Vance out there as, as, point on the so-called Iran negotiations.

Or you mean the Iran giveaway sessions? Yeah, that or otherwise known as the forest of rates. Yeah. That he keeps stepping on with such a plop. Well, what I love is when he tries to lecture Pope Leo on Catholic theology. But the thing is, he's out there. He's out there stomping around on a forest of rakes, and we thought, oh, they're sabotaging him. No, he's in the on-deck circle, and they're trying to get him to where he can get in the batters box and swing.

But it's not going well, Dave. I've got a clip here. You need to go. I'll run this after you've rung off. Hang-up. Yeah. But, yeah, this is a hell of a. thing.

He is not. He is not. Let's put it this way. He's not ready for prime time. Take care, Dave. It's so good to hear from you. Keep being careful. Yeah.

And you'll stay in our thoughts. God, I hope things work out for Dave. So, as I was saying, they, oh wait, from Sylvie, as a retired medical professional,

I wholeheartedly concur. When the report included the term refractory obesity, I knew it had to be moribund Marcus. The term refractory describes either a seriously ill or non-compliant patient or both. I can imagine his doctor is tearing their hair out as he careens off his own tangent. On his own tangent, that man reads like a Merck Manual. Well, I mean, if what that guy is saying, how long can this experimental new wonder drug continue to do what it has to do.

So that brings us to the JD Egg, who they sent off on a goodwill visit to the Nixon Library? I know, I know. Yorba Linda, California, and they handed him a microphone. He opened his mouth, and then the bats flew out. Now, if you think back to my conversation,

with Scott in San Diego, there were two things that he studied and was fascinated by the most. One was obviously the Kennedy assassination. His generation was profoundly affected by it, and it was something that he, that, well, like probably the majority of Americans, something just ain't right. The other was Watergate. And Watergate, well, I mentioned Robert Redford. See how things work around here? His role... Robert Redford is why the movie All the President's Men got made.

He felt an almost patriotic necessity to make the film and make it compelling enough to grab the public consciousness. And it did. and you know for its time an all-star cast all the way around but the story had to be told of how it happened

and what went wrong and how close we were to losing everything because we were to quote the white horse prophecy of the Mormons the Republic and the Constitution

hung by a thread and it was the break-in was unnecessary as I noted but they were so paranoid and so obsessed with concentrating

and and and well concentrating their power and control over the mechanisms of government you know Nixon's enemies list the utter corruption of John Mitchell

I mean the whole thing provides a template of what needs to happen to just about everybody who's had anything to do with this current maladministration. But here's the JD Egg who's out there flogging a book about his Christianity. Here's the first thing. If you're really a Christian, you don't need to write a book about how Christian you are. You know, faith without works is dead, let your light so shine before men, etc. the system is set up such that nobody needs to write a book

and he shows up at the Nixon Library in your Belinda and says this about Watergate get the hockey puck really a little bit backstage but I'm actually fascinated by Nixon as a character in history I think that his historical legacy

is enjoying a bit of a renaissance but I think deservedly so as I joked with Robert backstage If Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12-hour news story. The idea that it would have taken down a presidency is crazy. And by the way, if you look at the story of how the deep state took down Richard Nixon, it's not all that different from what the same groups of people, the same institutions tried to do to Donald Trump and the First Trump administration.

There is a parallel. I'll. Clap, you assholes. I also just, at a personal level, you know, okay, young senator, vice president, writes some bestselling books, is hated by the media. It kind of sounds like J.D. Vance. So I'm a little, you know, I've always liked, I've always liked Richard Nixon. But, okay, one other thing about Richard.

That's enough about Richard Nixon, Jimmy Dick. Did you get that? I know you did. This is a keeper. This clip is a keeper. He said Richard Nixon was taken down by the deep state just like they've attacked his orange daddy. Richard Nixon was taken down by the rule of law. Richard Nixon was taken down when his own party finally went to him and said,

you have become indefensible. Everybody knows what you did. you've got to go, otherwise you're going to get impeached, and then you're going to lose the trial in the Senate, you're going to be removed as president, and then the criminal charges will come. And at that point, Nixon saw the many, many take Lou Farson with the unseen, with the finger riding across the wall,

and that's when he bailed. and ultimately the pardon of Nixon. I know everybody likes to say, well, Jerry Ford needed to do that so America could heal. America did not heal. Richard Nixon healed. America saw its system of governance, its idea of the rule of law, chucked out the window on a presidential pardon.

But it is so telling that the J.D.N. sees the obvious parallels between the criminality of Richard Nixon and the abject criminality of Donald Trump. Trump's criminality makes Nixon's look like a trip to the ice cream store. His historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance. If Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12-hour news story. Jady, you young dumbass. some of us were alive during Watergate. Some of us as nerdy kids sat and watched transfixed during the afternoons,

not necessarily understanding everything, but having parents who were willing to explain, and sat dumbfounded by what was going on in a government that kids like me were going to school and finding out of the best government of the whole gosh-danged planet. but was at the time a criminal enterprise in the executive branch and J.D. thinks it would be a 12-hour news story. Well, God knows they tried the multimillionaire for-profit media,

including Ben Bradley, who later became a hero, and Catherine Graham, who later became a hero. The Washington Post wanted it to go away, and the New York Times was laughing at them. for covering it. A stupid, petty burglary. Only it wasn't. It could have been a 12-hour news story.

No, there was no 24-hour news cycle, but there was plenty of news to cover. Vietnam was still a going concern. There was a presidential election, but a couple of cub reporters for all intents and purposes, who, of course, have both gone on to become incredibly wealthy men. who write books about the Trump administration, withholding information that the Republic actually needed,

until it's too late. Thank you, Ralph, serving as the Horn Ad Hoc, Jimmy Dick Bowman Research Department, or whatever they're calling themselves these days. He was born 10 years after Nixon resigned. Thank you, Ralph. It could have been a 12-hour news story, but those self-same now wealthy,

but back then, Cubs reporters, wanted something to work on besides the police blotter, and they kept pulling threads, and the threads kept yielding further unraveling until it unraveled all the way into the Oval Office. And I think that's another instructive point. The maggots are still mad about Watergate. They're still mad about Iran-Contra.

Watergate and Iran-Contra were the sole and entirely only reasons for the great cleanest hunt but around the political chattering class my goodness gracious a writer named Jim Soutretson on X said I genuinely wonder if this guy has a humiliation fetish

which reminds me there's some news out there turns out that even after he got busted and thank you Micah thank you so much sis even after he got busted Brian Nome

apparently continued to carry on apparently Krusty doesn't care then again she's got Corey Lewandowski yeah via the New York Post I know grain of salt ton of salt

Headline, Christy Dome's cross-dressing hubby Brian allegedly continued messaging Dominatrix after bombshell report. Quote, I've been a really bad boy. But anyway, speaking of humiliation fetishes. Over in blue sky, another writer, Nick Pedigrew, said, Hey, remember when actions had consequences? Crazy times. Kai Risdahl, who hosts Marketplace, he's the senior

editor there, I hear him from time to time on public radio, said, I think you have to do your Yoda voice for this. The quiet part out loud, he said. And Kevin Cruz, the historian, said, oh, he's so close to getting it. He actually compared Trump with Nixon. And what he said didn't mean what he thought he said. Good Lord. And Ray Beckerman, one of the first people,

I ever started following on Twitter has gone on to blue sky and said, good point. Nixon's corruption was infinitesimal compared to Trump's. There's an argument to be made that even though he was a red baiter and was perfectly willing to ruin lives in his ferreting out of anyone who was to the left of Jenghis Khan.

Nixon did have a patriot. There was something that, you know, Nixon tried. he did some filthy underhanded shit undermining the peace talks between the Johnson administration and Hanoi that could have saved countless tens of thousands of American lives

but he also created a little bit of a thaw in the Cold War and only Nixon can go to China or could and of course after Congress passed it he did his presidential duty and signed the Environmental Protection Agency into existence. He fucked up NASA.

He was at war criminal. Maos, Cambodia, Chile. On and on. But even with all that, he turns out to be damn near a piker compared to this maniac in the White House now. And I suppose on this miraculous day, we should at least try to end on a giggle. Nitwit Niro begging people to come to his American state fair bullshit thing. It kicked off on the mall Wednesday night, complete with an algae concentration pool. Video showed people walking away even as he was yammering.

at them. The crowd was incredible last night, packed to the brim. At least 45,000 people were there with huge television and online audience. You could have fooled me. I wouldn't have known it was going on

if I hadn't seen the write-up this morning. I wish we were able to have an even larger area, which we will be able to do on July 4th when I'll be speaking again. The airplane flyovers and music were fantastic. But, his blathering took on a rather plaintive and pathetic tone.

Ralph sent this along. Nicole Wallace showed Trump begging people to show up on July 4th to see him. He sounded really desperate and scared as the Chiron says. His celebration is off to a rocky start. He pled with everyone to show up to see their favorite president. and then said, If there are two empty seats on July 4th, the fake media will say, I couldn't fill the arena. A rocky start, though, to say the very least.

With all the artists who bailed, I mean, granted, Vanilla Ice is still doing the show. Oh, goody. In an article about him at the Atlantic, Yeah. Atlantic. Why? Last week, according to the Atlantic, the 58-year... Oh, trigger warning, content warning. Last week, the 58-year-old rapper born Robert Van Winkle...

Oh, please go back to sleep. Was giving me a tour of his mansion in Florida's Palm Beach County. Duck tape. Hockey buck. Pattering brightly and ceaselessly, he puzzled over this is not the onion this is real comes from a real live Atlantic article

not written by a satirist pattering brightly and ceaselessly he puzzled over his smart toilet quote I think it's made for a woman to have fun and enjoy yourself on it because it's got buttons that I'm just thinking

this is curious and revealed his favorite ninja turtle Raphael I love the inclusion of the Raphael bit because that immediately threw me into time travel mode. And I saw that scene from being there, what, 1979, where Chance the Gardner asks every African American he's seen, do you know Raphael? I have a message for Raphael. Never mind.

I think it's made for a woman to have fun and enjoy your experience. yourself on it. Because it's got buttons on it that I'm just thinking, this is curious. God damn. Maggot men. No wonder they're so obsessed with bathrooms. Holy. They think women are having orgies in the ladies' room.

I think this toilet is for a woman to have a good time. Because nothing says fun like a B-D-A and getting your little bottom clean. and I guess no one told Robert Van Winkle, that men too can occasionally benefit from the use of a bidet, and that it will not, in fact, turn them gay, or provide them. Then again, maybe it would provide Robert Van Winkle some degree of pleasure. God bless America.

All this time, I thought the ladies' room was just for, you know, restroom stuff. I've never heard a single moan or groan, Jesus Christ. Well, he's, anyway, he's on the bill. Yeah. And so, too,

was Cash Patel's girlfriend. That would be 27-year-old Alexis Wilkins, who is described as an assistant. aspiring country singer dating a man, Cash Patel, and jetting around the country in government jets and having an FBI security detail because Cash said she needed one. And, well, I mentioned Roseanne doing the national anthem. Alexis didn't do much better.

Yeah, so I hope you didn't put the hockey puck away This here is your national anthem Merca As one attendee noted She sounds like a dead cat Hello, DC police

I'd like to report a murder Yes, someone has viciously murdered the national anthem So what else saying Wait, wasn't Millie Vanilli available? Even Millie Vanilli either Millie or Vanilli, whichever one's still alive, bailed out too. And, of course, she got savaged, Alexis did,

because, of course, it's all agrift, and she said, I'm doing this for free. But I was invited to sing this anthem on my own accord. I'm not accepting payment for this great honor. The thing is, this thing has a massive taxpayer funding. budget. And bless her heart, Marcy Wheeler,

always good. Breaking, because Trump can't get real stars, the FBI director's side piece gets a slot. God bless America. Hmm.

Another individual, Matthew Sittman. When I heard Vanilla Ice wouldn't be participating, I had my fingers cross-sheet step in. It's a July 4th miracle. Yeah.

$80 million in federal grants for this shit show. And I guess it's more, well, it's, I have something to compare it to. I was 13 years old on our 200th birthday, kind of like Dave was talking about. All that year, CBS had a bicentennial minute. Do you remember those? And they were cool.

There was all kinds of history and facts and little known bits and pieces. a train called the Freedom Train traveled across the country. My parents, well, I got in the car and we drove to Huntsville, Alabama, and we all walked through the Freedom Train and saw copies of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and all manner of American history.

It had some sort of an impact because I still remember it. and there were a lot of crowds. We're not doing anything this time through like that, however, because we're in the business of revising American history now, much of the history of the revolution, well, it's really inconvenient. I mean, you wouldn't want to, for instance,

note that the first bloodshed in the American Revolution was that of Crispus a Tux, a black man in the Boston Massacre. No. Wouldn't want to do that. That's D-E-I. Right? Good Lord.

Lee in New York saying, singing the national anthem. Alexa, sing the national anthem. Thank God I don't have an Alexa device around here. And back to Robert Van Winkle and the toilet he doesn't understand. Of course they think bathrooms are for sex. Remember Larry Craig? Lee asks. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes. Wide-stance Larry Craig, toe-tapping Larry Craig.

Who could forget? Back in my traveling days, I even made a point just to say I'd been there. I was in the Minneapolis International Airport, had some time to kill between flights, and just went down to the restroom there to say that I had scene where Larry Craig did his tap dance and curiously enough it was not at all

difficult back then to simply use the facilities for that which they were designed and get out darned his thing something must have come over that good Christian Larry Craig well he says I remember the bicentennial
