And so before we dive into the proceedings of the evening, every program here at the horn begins with gratitude, and this program isn't a difference,

so thanks go out to our 25th day of the month, contributors and subscribers via PayPal. And that means thank you, Peter. Thank you ever so kindly, and thank you to Charlie over at APS Radio News. Thanks so very much for jumping in. And hey, look at us. We are almost fully funded for this evening, even as the program gets started.

So thanks. Thank you very much. And what's that, what's that, Ralph? And by the way, we've got three days left in a month, and that's, I know that works out to about 900 bucks. if we want to get started on that and have some fundraising free radio to close the month, that would be just awesome. And from Ralph's, this is, oh, it's, it is, well, what, bitingly, tragically funny. A rare photo of Trump's legal defense team. Of course, it's a photograph of old balls and strikes Roberts

and the Clarence Pubes on the Coke Can Fappy Thomas and Sammy Bad Breath Alito and Frat Boy Neil and beer boof and blah blah blah blah brat, of course not pictured with brat are his law clerks squee and quiff. And then, of course, rounding out the six. the handmaid who never makes a decision without permission from her hubby

because she's a good submissive wife just like the Bible says to be and that's how she got to be known as the handmade she and her husband were really part of a cult a weird weird weird weird cult complete with the creepy sexual stuff and her title as a

as I guess a mid to upper level manager of the cult was handmade. Behold the handmaiden of the lard. Thank you, Ralphs. So if somebody wants to jump in with $25, Ralphs will double it. We'll be finished with fundraising for today, and we'll get a little start on Monday, which is a lovely way to move toward the end

of the broadcast month. So that's where things stand. Contempt, of course, was the password. And, well, lo and behold, the nitwit Nero maladministration has been held in contempt, not just one count, but three. three court orders that they willfully and wantonly with malice of forethought violated and it's not just any judge who did it it was a maggot judge appointed by nitwit Nero

of course he thinks that he hired them and they're there to do his bidding and well pursuant to the graphics that Ralphs sent along there are at least six members of the Supreme Court who agree because of course we've got to deal with their assault on the right to vote. They really don't like voting very much, those six vile, filthy, vulgar fascists, at least one, two, three, four of whom deserve to be, five, six, deserve to be impeached and removed from office and barred from ever holding an office of public trust again. in the in the contempt case however um U.S. District Judge Stephanie Gallagher

made a specific finding that the maggots violated her court order of November 2024, her court order of April 2025, and her court order of July 2026 when it when it abducted

and kidnapped a 19-year-old asylum seeker at E-L-A and sent him down to that shithole concentration camp in El Shittholidor against her order and against her will. No word yet of anyone going to prison. They should. in her order Judge Gallagher told these

dirtbag fascists to bring ELA back and refrain from executing any final removal order against him and that order will stay in effect until immigration officials

make a final judgment on his asylum application or until the settlement protecting him times out. She also told the government to give back his shit because they stole his stuff because, of course, we have an executive branch comprised

of foot pads, highwaymen, cut purses, ditched dwellers, and those who lurk in alleys and dark corners, and by October 2nd, they have to report on whether the young man wishes to return. They tortured him, of course. They kidnapped and deported him in March. They brought him back on August the 7th. Then they flew him out again on September 1st while he was waiting for a psych evaluation.

And the Todd Blanchie DOJ, and of course the Jojo Blondie DOJ said, We have an error in communications. Bullshit. This is the same DOJ that had in it for a time. One of Nitwit Niro's legal eagles, namely Emil Beauvais, accent grove on the E. who said, you know, sometimes you just have to tell a judge to get fucked. Mm-hmm. How's that working out?

Well, I'm sure that they will run, just as they always do, they will run to the D.C. Circuit, and then they'll run up to the six members of his legal defense team, yelling, emergency! Emergency! Uh-huh. and there's some statistics out. And those statistics indicate that that cry of emergency works really well. Because in 80% of the times that the pedigoggers have run squalling that to our most puissant, dread, sovereign, supreme Catholic majesties,

80% of the time they have sided with the goons yelling, Emergency! Yeah. Good Lord. But hopefully, hopefully, someone will eventually face consequences for this. Maybe Judge Gallagher has inspired and, well, emboldened. you might recall

God but not forgotten. Bossman Wayne used to say that the word emboldened was a translation from the old Serbian meaning to give balls emboldened other federal judges to

act similarly when they are treated with contemptuous behavior by this most contemptuous maladministration. Oh, and thank you, Ralph's, challenges, and then some. So we are now down to, well, we're done with Friday's fundraising. And we are started on Monday.

Thank you very kindly. Yeah, you're right. Oh, I love paella. And thank you very much. I've got a paella pan that fits nicely on the acorn. commado that I have never never even broken in because it's kind of hard to get the

the good seafood makings for paella around here I'd have to go down to Charleston to the seafood although there's a guy who now drives to the east coast and brings back crabs and all kinds of shellfish and stuff like that you have to pre-order though and who it's pricey

but it would be fun oh that bump yeah thanks for reminding me and so Ralph's challenge is met and that means we're fully funded and then let's see we take that down to we have $235 to go for Monday which means $835 to go

to finish the month of September. Thank you very kindly the extraordinary roundtable I mentioned I've only been using that term for old 15, 20 years. Jeremy says, there's nothing ordinary about this lovely group of misfits. Ordinary is boring.

That's why it's the extraordinary ordinary roundtable. Yeah. A couple of things of note. Since we are on the courts, might as well stay there. It has become a... abundantly obvious that we have a captive and entirely corrupt, illegitimate Supreme Court. Earlier today, the news came down that our most puissant dread sovereign Supreme Catholic

Majesty said, in fact, told the maggots to go ahead and use their federal database of voters to try to suppress the vote on a federal level in every state. What do you want to bet that vote will be suppressed most often in states where maggots are more likely to lose in their House and Senate races? Yeah, yeah. And, of course, it was another emergency. I'm so sick of that. and thanks for meeting the challenge Ralph says

and thank you very much indeed I don't know if you want your name mentioned or not so you can just let me know the database itself is deeply flawed probably highly inaccurate and has only one purpose to try to save nitwit Niro's bacon so that he won't

so that he won't lose the house in the and have to resign from office long about January the 21st, 2007. And among other things, they're using Social Security numbers and other identifying information to check voter eligibility. And, well, I'm sure there'll be, you know, just like was in the case of ELA that I mentioned a few moments ago, there will be problems with communication

and that will lead to difficulties in allowing people to vote and it'll be people who well

women LGBTQ plus people at Democrats in general That's in general. Yeah. It's absolutely, suffice to say, sickening fascist behavior, God.

And so there's only one answer to that. And that is to be so pissed off that we vote in record numbers. That we vote like our lives depend upon it because they do. And of course, Nitwitner has been meeting with Xi Jinping, which turned out to be just a ginormous

waste of time and monumental fuck-up because he's, well, he's suffering from frontotemporal dementia, among other things, and even before that, ah, he was a piece of shit. And speaking of contempt, yeah, CNN was told to go away

when they showed up for nitwit Niro's state TV made for TV state dinner with a lot of people saying harrumpf the whole big affair was put on for Xi Jinping and Kristen Holmes reporting on CNN she's their senior White House correspondent said

this was a pre-credentialed media event before the state dinner we submitted our credentials our names for credentials last night and at the gate they said oh no you can't just send somebody with a notebook you can only send a camera and audio people not a correspondent not a reporter not a producer

yeah here's everything that she had to say on the moment sounds like someone's going to have to be going back in front of Judge Timothy Kelly and perhaps on a motion for contempt for you now CNN was just denied access to cover the arrivals for the state dinner for Chinese leader Xi Jinping. CNN senior White House correspondent, Kristen Holmes is at the White House. Kristen, this is the latest chapter in this battle over not only media access at the White House,

but the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Tell us what happened. Yeah, and I do want to be clear here. This was not a pool event. This was a pre-credentialed media event before the state dinner. We submitted our credentials or our names for credentials last night. We didn't hear back shortly before the actual event. We did hear from the White House asking for names of who would be attending.

Like all of the other TV pool networks, we are doing the exact same thing that they are doing, which is sending an editorial presence, but not a camera presence. That is what we have been doing. That has been part of all of the TV networks banning together. And all of the other TV networks were submitting or sending either correspondence or producers, no cameras. When we walked to the top of the line to get inside, they told us that we were to talk to the press office, specifically Stephen Chong, and that we were only, that our allowance for going into the event was only to be a camera and audio, no editorial presence. Again, the arrangement that all of the networks have right now is that we are only sending in an editorial presence, not sending in the camera because of what we know is happening with the pool and CNN being taken. out of the pool rotation, they again said that we were specifically denied access and that they

were not letting in the CNN editorial presence. I'm sure Xi Jinping looked at Nithwaite here and said, you know, in my country, we would simply have their skin flayed from their bodies and dumped in the Yalu River. I wish I could do that. Well, I mean, that's, so it becomes even more clear. That's the choice come November. We can have the Constitution. We can begin the process of its restoration because we are in a state of constitutional collapse made obvious, among others, by our most puissant, dread sovereign, Supreme Catholic, Majesty's.

Or we can have that. Suppression of free speech, suppression of media. Leah in New York says, putting the importance of voting in simple terms, we can explain the choice this way. vote for Democratic candidates or expect two years of consuming mystery meat and explosive diarrhea lettuce and no First Amendment and no due process. Hell, no Constitution. It really couldn't get much simpler. And by the way, last night, maybe she knew what was coming today from her brethren and sister on the court.

Justice Kachanji Brown Jackson, by far, I think, the most intelligent woman on the court, she should probably be the next chief justice if we can just get the universe realigned. She was speaking last night at the University of the District of Columbia's Law School, and while there she offered up some comments on the emergency docket. And she didn't mince words about the credibility that the court is hemorrhaging almost on a day-by-day basis, know almost about it. Speaking, she said, we cannot expect the public to have faith in our judicial system if without clear explanation, we are consistently green-lighting harmful acts that do real damage to litigating plaintiffs.

and she went on to note that the court had previously back before it was completely captured by fascism that it had been more restrained

in granting emergency relief on controversial matters she said if we're not careful they're not being careful and it's not being careful, Madam Justice, with all respect. It's not about them being careful. It's about them doing the bidding of their Orange Master and fulfilling dreams that the Federalist Society has fostered and held dear for decades.

You know, Leonard Leo and that gang of punks and thugs. It is a jurisprudential vandalism that they're about. She said, if we're not careful, the emergency docket can and will become an end run around the standard review process, a special avenue that certain privileged litigants can use selectively. New York Times quoting her there. She asked, why is it that one party should get a fast pass to the Supreme Court of the United States when so many other parties are queued up waiting patiently for the court's attention? And there is no irony at all in the fact that at the very very...

same time, the very instant, the very moment that Justice Jackson was delivering those remarks, well, the handmaid and beerboof and Babbabab, Brat Kavanaugh, his law clerk squee and quiff, as well as old balls and strikes John Roberts, were swanning around the made-for-TV state dinner and hobnobbing with the likes of the authoritarian fascist dictator

of Jaina. Uh-huh. They were specifically invited to the event by Daddy, and... Well, Daddy wants us to come, we better go. So, I mean, good on Justice Jackson. I hope she can... I hope she can hold the line,

along with Justice Sotomayor and Justice Kagan, until we can... restore the republic because well we're not okay we are far from being okay the monkey business seems never to let up in minnesota yesterday a veteran prosecutor in the u.s. attorney's office there in minneapolis sherry mecklenburg quit she had been the lead prosecutor on what was called the Broadview 6

I'm sorry not not not Minnesota Chicago Illinois she was working under Illinois Northern District of Illinois U.S. Attorney

Butros and Andrew Butros he's as crooked as a dog's hind leg and Ms. Necklenburg quit

actually she didn't that's not how she framed it she said she was retiring under protest because well Attorney General Todd Blanchie had thrown her

under the bus it's a little bit complicated in a few days US District Judge April Perry will host arguments on the question of a special counsel to investigate Andrew Butros,

Ms. Mecklenburg, and others, because among other things, Ms. Mecklenburg said, yeah, she pursued charges and brought charges that should never have been brought against the Broadview Six. Those were mere protesters

against Operation Midway Blitz. And in her letter, she said that she had wanted to defend herself. in court. And initially, her boss, Andrew Boutros office, said there was no problem with her citing a justice department manual. And then turned around and in her letter, she said, a short time later, however, that same official informed my counsel that he had consulted with the front office,

that's Boutros's leadership team, who advised that as a current DOJ employee, I am prohibited from filing anything to defend myself and will be disciplined and or terminated if I do so. Wow. I therefore am retiring under protest, effective immediately, because retirement is the only way to preserve my continued health care benefits earned over decades of service. This is not a voluntary departure.

Preventing me from defending myself is particularly reprehensible given the office's failure to adequately defend me. The office did not fully present the fact supporting my conduct. It now seeks to prevent me from presenting those facts myself because it wants someone to throw to the wolves. More particularly, Andrew Butros wants someone to throw to the wolves, lest he wind up wearing orange. In her letter, she said, I withdrew from the case in February.

And then she heard about a hearing on May the 21st in Judge Perry's courtroom only by reading about it in the news. and in that hearing, the judge read the riot act to Andrew Boutros for just gross misconduct before the grand jury. Then Boutros turned around and dropped the remaining charges and took responsibility in the Broadview Six case. Sherry Mecklenburg then said, since I was not present, I was a convenient target to be scapegoated and publicly vilified. You recklessly agreed in court that I had committed misconduct without even asking for my account, fully reviewing the record or briefing the law.

That evening, you sent an office-wide email laying responsibility at my feet for a felony prosecution that you personally directed over my objection that the case was better suited to misdemeanor charges. So, it sounds like she might have sort of tried to do. She knew she was doing wrong. but she wanted to keep her job and that's the thing that's how fascism works keep your head down if the headsman comes with his axe for you just bend over and let him do his work and hopefully they won't hurt your family as for butros's office well uh and the the justice Department of General.

Well, the claim that Mecklenburg proposed a misdemeanor and was told to instead file a felony charge is false. Mecklenberg's recommendation in writing to the supervisory chain of the U.S. Attorney's Laws included a conspiracy felony as the strongest charge. And back on October 29, 2025, Todd Blanchie said, well, no one is above the law, no one has the right to obstruct it. because they were accused with impeding an ice goon or a CBP thug or some other fascist piece of shit outside the immigration hellhole in Broadview, Illinois. Jesus.

And the case bears some watching. Because if an independent counsel is appointed, that independent counsel can potentially investigate where they wish, up to and including Todd Blanchie, or perhaps even at the time, Jojo Blondie. It kind of makes you wonder if maybe

someone like that might be helpful in maybe Minneapolis in finding the murderers of Alex Prattie and the murderer of Renee Good. Then again, if we can just rest control of the government back beginning in November, there might be a whole bunch of independent councils. Earlier I mentioned the state dinner,

and it was quite the affair for Xi Jinping. and standing and at the dinner the authoritarian dictator of China actually issued a rather humiliating warning to his demented octogenarian orange host referencing the Thucydides trap

once again. We've talked about that before. The Thucydides trap can be overcome. and the U.S. and China can coexist in peace and keep our competition within bounds. He was warning nitwit Niro not to fuck with China or China will find will fuck back. The Daily Beast noting Donald Trump spent Thursday lavishing praise on Xi Jinping

while the Chinese leader used his visit to the White House to deliver a power move with a warning for America to stay in its lane In other words, when they decide to invade Taiwan, we had best not utter a goddamn peep. And, of course, he won't. Because even now, members of the United States Senate are pressing nitwit Nero. These are maggot senators, including Senator Roger Wicker of Mississippistan, demanding that aid that Congress has already appropriated for Taiwan be released to them. And then there's

Laura Looney, who by the way, got big mad at Xi Jinping for not putting his hand over his heart for the United States National Anthem, which he was in no wise obliged to do, and it would have looked really stupid doing, and of course, Nitwit Niro stood there

with his black glove on his hand and looking for all the world like nothing so much as an alligator puppet, sock puppet trying to eat his head. He should have had his hand over his heart. Laura Looney said nothing about that.

But then, Looney went on and posted an excrement saying, China stole the election from President Trump. So can someone please explain to me why China hasn't been held accountable for this and why their communist dictator is being treated like a king on U.S. soil today? I know.

I know. It just gets so wearying and exhausting. But we were once again humiliated on the world stage. And, well, I was up early and caught a little bit of my former filthy morning habit. I can report that they did another segment on Tommy the Tuber, and Joe repeated his Tim Curry sweet transvestite joke again and he just loves doing that. I resisted the urge to run over onto X

and post at him suggesting that maybe it might benefit because he gets the issue somewhat correct regarding trans athletes in sports but at the end of the the day when he's making jokes comparing trans people to Dr. Frank N. Furtter, well, it shows that he's still got a long way to go. But beyond that, they also discuss the whole business with the trashing of the First Amendment. You know, this applies to the multimillionaire for-profit media,

specifically to MS now, where, of course, Joe and his morning zoo crew originate. And one story they mentioned pointed up just, well, how out of it, nitwit Nero is? A couple days ago when we had said that banning media outlets would only hurt the president. I mean, here's a perfect example of it. He had some hero shots that he could have had coming out of the White House video, great video, you know. Blitzy. Yeah, state dinners, the ballroom. Red car.

Yeah. But it just hasn't happened. And it hasn't happened because, well, he banned the media. Yeah, his impulsive decision a few days before not consulting with AIDS to ban three media outlets. But AIDS didn't want him to do that, right? No, because they understand that, first of all, he needs the media like he needs oxygen. So he would be the one to miss it. In fact, even yesterday, I am told he was asking AIDS, where are the cameras?

Because there was no pool camera. And here's why. Just a refresh memory. So yesterday, we woke up to the news that the judge had ruled that the CNN, MS now and Politico should have access restored to the White House. And it took a few hours for that to happen. But then eventually, yes, the White House defied the court order throughout the morning. They were not allowing people to go in throughout the morning. They claim it's just because the process takes a while to restore access, turn on the badges and the like.

When they're taking badges away, that seems to be proactive instead of more active. Here, CNN person, give me your bag. Yeah, the Secret Service confiscated the badges of those who tried to get yesterday. Who gave them that order? Because whoever gave them that order should go to jail. I mean, that's contempt of court. There's an order out there. I really want to know what happened yesterday morning.

And I'm not saying this for an isolated reason. There will be a time when justice will be done for people in this administration ignoring court orders. There will be a time when the masks will be taken off of ICE agents. And justice will be done for every person that they beat, for every person that they jailed, for every person that they starved, for every person that they tortured. That time is coming. So I want to know. I want somebody to take note in the White House of the White House who gave those Secret

Service agents who defied a court order. Who gave them that order to defy a federal judge? Because when you defy a federal judge, you're in contempt. And it keeps going. And we just see it over and over again. So it's time to start writing this down. and it's time to start preparing for that day when Donald Trump is not there to protect you. And is this called retribution? No, no, no, because we don't do retribution in America.

What this is called is following, I have a word I want to use, I'm not going to use it. Following the blanking law. That's what it's called. And they're not doing it. No, they didn't yesterday morning, and then they didn't again last night. So access was eventually restored to these outlets in the early afternoon, right around noon time. Right. And they were all on the White House campus for the rest of the day.

But then that evening, as part of the state dinner coverage, MS now and CNN were both denied access to the event where they could have seen the Chinese president arrive. Right. And they were then asked, you know, they were denied. Our colleague, Laura Barone Lopez, one of our White House reporters, was not able to come in. She asked what's going on, was told to talk to Stephen Chung, who's the communications director at the White House. Is it Stephen Chung who needs... Perhaps so. Well, Stephen Chung did not respond to any...

Is it Stephen Chung who is ordering people that... I don't know. I don't even know Stephen Chung. But is Stephen Tubba Butter Chung? Is that who... I mean, this is helpful. Maybe that's who Judge Kelly needs to have come trundling before him. And, you know, maybe spend a little time.

in federal stir until he figures out that you don't thumb your nose at Article 3, United States District judges who have that kind of power. And that, no, no. Chong, the guy who is ordering these people. Yeah, yeah, the wrestling hype man, Joe, Stephen Chung. To be in contempt of a federal. judges order federal judges order by the way that donald trump appointed i want to know who is saying ignore a federal judge's order because it sounds a lot like watergate to me

so so chung never responded we did get a tweet last night on the white house's like rapid response account claiming that this was a different sign up that you had to have a specific request to attend this event that your hard pass wasn't enough to get in that's unclear if that's true Yeah, but we've already had the clip from CNN saying they had signed up separately for this event. I mean, huh. Even Chung is one of the people who is behind this Twitter account. He abuses it sometimes. So there you have it.

Still, they're in defiance last night. We're not in. I love the people that lie every day for a living. Literally lie every day for a living can still all these years later, you see words, quote, fake news. When they have been caught lying through. their teeth repeatedly, well, over the past decade. So, but we'll see what happens this morning when our colleagues try to access the White House again.

But to your point, the president himself, I'm told during the day, asked for where the TV pool was, was told, well, they're not going to be there because at that point in the morning, the ban had not been lifted, so therefore out of solidarity, the networks were not going to pool that event. That's why we're not showing footage today. So he's deprived of those hero shots, but maybe it's a blessing, Joe, because we're also deprived of seeing some of the other scenes that he had yesterday in the White House when he went on at length showing Xi Jinping the type of stone that was used for the helipad.

And I would have liked to see that. And when he walked the colonnade there beyond the Rose Garden, because he now has the presidential Hall of Fame up. And he showed, as you see here, because I did tweet it, a picture of him showing President Xi Jinping the auto pen that is the image of the auto pen that he has for President Biden, which is obviously an embarrassing move from the president. Shee Jinping had a number of meetings with President Biden, said he respected him greatly. National Reviews, Charles C.W. Cook said this, T.J.

Start to say, T.J. takes it down. Joe Biden was an American president. She is a communist dictator. Head of a foreign state, yeah. I imagine that Xi Jinping actually did have a better and more meaningful relationship, working relationship with Joe Biden, simply because Joe Biden did not have front of frontal temporal dementia, despite the barkings and hootings and howlings of an offended George Clooney in the summer of 2024. Oh, we were at a party and he didn't even recognize me. I'm George Clooney.

And he didn't recognize me? He's obviously not okay to be president. He didn't recognize me. George Clooney. Yeah. Well, I really do. Maybe. Maybe I'm just being mean, but I do.

I want to see Stephen Chung waddle into Judge Kelly's courtroom and get a good upbraiding. Flavio asks, what power do judges really have? In the United States, what power do they have to compel miscreants to comply? I know in Brazil they put the coup-plotting president in jail. Is it a lack of power or an unwillingness to exercise that power? judges don't like to use contempt because if you use it a lot then it loses some of its force

but literally Flavio if it turns out that the former Rasslin hype man Stephen Chung was the one orchestrating the contemptuous behavior the judge can find him

can find the White House and can in fact order Stephen Chung off to jail. In American jurisprudence, Flavio, there is a saying that in contempt, the contemnore always holds the keys to his own cell. And that is that upon being jailed, the contemnore can come forward and promise to do what he was ordered to do that he had previously shown contempt for the court for and be released. And the judge can keep him in jail for up to a year. And you know, it might be good for Stephen Chung.

He might, I don't know, you know, once he was in federal custody, gosh, we the people might pay for a GLP one for him. Uh-huh. and now of course with that fear hanging over him as Ralphs tells me CNN, MS now and Politico have returned to the White House after the legal fight but there was some serious contempt going on yesterday evening and the fact that they are back does not mean that the contempt has necessarily been remedied

and now I just got a spam from the White House saying that it went Nero will be giving remarks at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington, D.C. tomorrow. I'm sorry, Tuesday, September 29th. I'm sorry, I misread that. And that media may request credentials by 5 p.m. on Sunday, September 27th. Late requests will not be accepted. Once approved, you will receive additional logistics in a separate email.

Credentials are non-transferable. Oh, he wants his cameras back. Taking the cameras away from elderly Mike TV. That makes him very upset. I want to share a note that I just got a little bit ago from Cynthia in the Bay Area. Wishing us happy Dolly Parton Day. Because it's 925 Dolly Parton Day, yeah. Just back from Costco, Cynthia says.

From buying chicken drumsticks, I'll smoke for a neighborhood get together tomorrow. We will have a nice day here for it. Ooh, those will be yummy. Marinate, marinate, marinate, marinate, marinate, marinate, Cynthia. But, she adds, after I finished putting everything in my car, a fellow sitting in a nearby car asked me why I was wearing a mask and then tried to engage me in all this anti-VAC shit. He was trying to tell me that measles never killed anyone, but that the vaccine does.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. That COVID vaccine shouldn't be given and all kinds of that shit. Nothing I told him... Durn it? Nothing I told him... Even registered in his brain. Then he started getting into religion. They always do.

Creationism and Jeebus. I think one of the worst things he said was that all the stuff Jesus said, including in Matthew 25, was for Christians only, which I find, I'm adding this editorially, I find interesting, because there was no such thing as Christianity at the time. They were all very happy, very observant Jews. Due unto others only meant to do unto Christians. I ended up telling him his God is a psychopath. I could tell that hit a mark with him, though I'm sure it only pissed him off,

even as he held his feelings in check. As I left, he said he would pray for me. I told him, don't bother, and left as I wanted to get my frozen Milton's veggie pizza into the freezer rather than stand there arguing with him and let it thaw. But to be sure, I was glad to have the argument with him. It gave me a chance to at least get some of the stuff off my chest to one of those people. And that's a perfect segue, Cynthia, to what I've got next. You may recall we have talked in the past about the maggot congressional candidate. down in takes ass, Brandon Herrera.

Now, Brandon Herrera, among other things, is a just absolutely wildly insane misogynist. He's the one who at one point in time, we played clips of him talking about how sperm tastes and then went on to describe young girls, young women as, and I'm sorry. Sorry. Come trophies. Yeah. Well, now we, and this guy's got a decent chance of getting into the Congress. And what with Cynthia mentioning the anti-vaxxer she ran into.

Well, this was from July 2022 on a podcast called Slightly Offensive from some slub named Elijah Schaefer. about a year before he first, Herrera ran for Congress the first time. You'll recall, he became the frontrunner when Tony Gonzalez, sex pest, resigned from Congress, Tony Gonzalez, who was the useless as tits on a bull member of Congress when children were slaughtered in Evaldi. And naturally, on this slightly offensive podcast,

They decided they were going to talk about, well, race in dating. And then, of course, because their shitheads, they got into questions of obesity. And this guy is probably going to go to Congress. Oh, come on. I'm saying literally when I look at white men typically like a large portion. So it's not like it's one racial side anyways. The black woman preferred black men over white men, and white men preferred white women over black women over black women.

No, black men like fat black women. Like a, like a, I wonder if they're solving for all variables here, because like there's also like an obesity epidemic in the female black community. So it's like, okay, well, maybe did you just, did you show them like a hundred random black women and they just maybe don't like obese people? I don't. Like, I don't. Yeah.

I am canceling. We're arresting all obese. I'm calling for the immediate cancellation and the arrest of obesity. I did those implicit Harvard bias test where you like hit the buttons on your keyboard. And like for all races and everything in Keeneback negative for fat people, it was off the charts. Like I was like the most biased person against fat people ever. I think it's because like they were mean to me when I was young. That's what it was.

Dude, I was like I was five, ten. And 10 and 107 pounds. I'm 140 now, okay? So like I'm 510, 10, 107 pounds in like eighth grade. And the fat girls were like, you're so skinny. It makes me sick. And they were mean. I wrote a letter to Oprah saying you always talk about fat people.

I did. I was like, I swear to God, I was like, you always talk about fat people. I just want to note here, this is what the maggots sit around and talk about. And by the way, you know, it. Brandon Herrera is an entire iceberg. Among other things, in that podcast, he's sitting in front of a wall of machine guns, semi-automatic assault rifles, the like. He thinks it's funny when veterans commit suicide.

He reenacted the assassination of Dr. King, made jokes about the Holocaust. and said that a submachine gun utilized by the Nazis was, quote, the original ghetto blaster. But that's not the point of this clip. My fat girls? Yes, of course I hate them. So I was like, fat women are the worst, too. It never occurred to you that maybe they just hated you because there wasn't enough of you to eat?

Honestly, it was terrifying. It was my eighth grade teacher's daughter, too. What's her name? Trinaki. What I don't forget. I don't remember her name was. Anyway, she cornered me in the bathroom. It's like, you're just skinny.

It makes me sick. I'm like, push me. And I was like, that's what I learned to be tough. Why didn't you tell her? You're so fat it makes me. I did. I did. Oh, listen, it's me.

Okay? Of course I did. But, but like, I don't, I like, I hate fat people. I especially fat women. I hate them. I know that that's, like, wrong. Like, like I said, all these people of bias tests were neutral. But like...

Behold Millennial Right Wing comedy. You know, you can tune in Kill Tony or the Joe Rogaine experience and hear this is, this is the comedic intellectual heft

of the maggots. They're gross, right? Like, you, I'm older now. Like, things aren't settling where they're supposed to settle, right? Stop putting food in your mouth. Like, it's not that hard. most undisciplined, freaking disgusting people ever.

I don't care. You pick on people that are thinner than you. And you know what? They're always like catty. It's always that passive-aggressive stuff. Can you just be aggressive, aggressive, and say whatever your problem is, you fat-ass? Like, I don't like them. I don't like them.

So I don't care what ratio is if you're fat. Stay away from me. Sorry. Tell me how you really feel. Tell me how you really feel. Brandon's like, shit. This is not helping my life. I'm not.

No, no. I'm here for it. dude, I'm of the opinion, COVID wasn't bad enough because if you had something that just unfairly targeted fucking fat people, I'm here for it. I would have wore my mask nowhere. That guy come January may very well be sworn in

as a member of the House of Representatives from, of course, takes ass. And when confronted about these just entirely repulsive, disgusting, filthy, vulgar remarks. What did the Southern Baptist

minister, who is the Speaker of the House, Mullim Moses Mike Johnson, what did he say? Well, he's run a very effective campaign. That was, you know, when he was calling women come trophies, God, I hope

my son's porn monitor didn't just go off on me. When he did that, that was just his online persona. They have no morals. They have no basic, common human decency. And I don't know who that woman

was. I don't know who any of those chuds are in that video, except for Brandon Herrera. But my God, it's not even a matter of political correctness. It's a matter of being a decent human being and recognizing that there are myriad factors that play into how one stores and processes, fats, things like that, matters of metabolism, the endocrine system, hormones. But Brandon Herrera thinks that COVID didn't kill enough people.

good God. And it will tell us, I mean, as if we didn't know. It will tell us so damned much about his congressional district down in Texas, which includes Yuvaldi, if they let this man go to Congress. Uvaldi where children were slaughtered, sending a man who thinks COVID didn't kill enough people to the Congress. I mean, I can say it, and we'll all agree, but I don't want to, I don't ever want to hear any goddamn maggot talk about their fucking morals, their goddamn values ever again, because we know what their values really are. Oh, Cynthia, great point I didn't think of. Christianity didn't exist yet. I wish you were there with me. Ah, the stuff we could have told him with time to do it.

Yeah, but we wouldn't want... You know what, Cynthia, you could have left me and gone home and got your pizza into the freezer and then come back and gotten me. That would have been big fun. And I could have enjoyed some of those chicken legs. Mm, gnommy. And from Brother Deacon Asa, re-rasslin hype man.

Shame on you for diminishing Stephen Chung's role. in society calling him a rassling hype man. When you know damn well, he was part of a much more serious consequential organization. Stephen Chung, I'll have you know, was in fact a UFC carnival barker and not a wrestling hype man. You make his contribution sound so cheap. I'm sorry, UFC Carnival Barker.

Mm-hmm. Well played, brother Deacon. Well played. And Cynthia says, I would have done that. Of course. Yeah, partner. Partners in crime.

And you'd be the wheel girl. And from Dave in the Blind, who told me that, by the way, I hope I'm not telling tales out of school, our dear friend Christine had to make an emergency trip to the ER. They got her stabilized, but it was an emergency basis with pneumonia. So I hope things have stabilized and improved for her, Dave.

Do let us know. Dave says Trump's six girls. I know there's such a thing as a little black dress, Roxanne. But tell me, does that sex offender-in-chief pimp out the six on the Supreme Court as his personal low-slaves? And that's why they give him everything he wants because he's going to put the beat down on them. If not, say, fuck the Supreme Court, fuck Donald Trump, and fuck every fucking maggot in the fucking U.S. They're considering to transfer Christine to nursing home for rehabilitation. She's not in any danger.

They're just monitoring her for potential blood clots. Oh, mercy. I hope she gets adequate and appropriate care. And as to the Supreme Court? Yeah, they kind of are his hose, aren't they? Well, wait a minute. We're in the wrong room, y'all. uh we're supposed to be on the front and back porch not in the head-on super friends that's the interview channel

that's the channel that uh terra and i use jeremy you're the moderator how are you in the wrong room i'm in the right room there's jeremy uh it gets squeaky on over here too let's see here okay hey jeremy how are you how are you i'm okay i'm grateful for the the coming weekend. It was a beautiful day here today. But it was cold. Before I forget about it, I was going to mention, it's been said nauseam to people, but you really should check your voter registrations. Yes, absolutely.

I want to say during COVID, I was able to select to have mailing ballot sent to me forever without having to select it again. And I voted in the primary, went in person to it because I never got my ballot, and I thought maybe just a fluke. Well, I went on and checked two weeks ago expecting it to come automatically to me, and I had to select mail in by voting again. It was unselected for me randomly. I never made that choice. I can see that I had missed a primary somewhere, but that shouldn't matter.

I had selected vote by mail permanently with no questions asked. So even people who are registered perfectly normally, they're fucking with us one way or I don't know if that was done on a federal level. I don't know if it was done locally. I don't know why it was, but I can assure you I had checked a different box last time I did that. Well, and I think I've mentioned here before, and yes, I agree with you wholeheartedly. Don't assume your voter registration is okay. I mean, you live in a blue state.

I live in a maggot state, especially if you live in a MAGAT state check. But wherever you are, check your voter registration and make sure. because when I went to vote in the primary this past May, you know, you sign on the, at least here, you sign the voter book, the voter roll, and I had voted since my name change, my legal name change, and lo and behold, when I went to vote in May,

there was my dead name signature with an I instead of a Y and my old dead last name and I had never changed it. I'd never done a damn thing. And somehow and of course a signature that doesn't match is a for sure way

to invalidate a vote. And thank you for reminding me because I need to go over to the county clerk's office and make sure that that's squared away because I objected at the time but I don't know if they got it right to this day

so point well taken I'll be waiting anxiously should be sent out the next I would expect a couple weeks I should get it around the 14th and as soon as I get it I will pilot that day and put it in the mailbox about the mailbox but I will drive down to the town clerk's office put it in the mailbox

next to the police station with a camera looking at it so I'll know it be safely put away. I'm going to think, what else? Oh, it made national news in the last week before. It might have been during my vacation. I think it was during my vacation, maybe about a month ago now, so two or three weeks. There was a large number of clergy who protests at the federal building here, 12 or 13. Normally it's a misdemeanor, trespassing, blah, blah, blah.

the state usually turns it down. The state was pressured by the federal government to prosecute these people this time. Clergy for trespassing at Iceville. So even in a semi-blue state, federal government is still having pressure, pressuring local DAs. Jesus.

And again, this is, I saw the story last night, just commented everyone, this is just a distraction. They're trying to project power, which they know they're losing rapidly. Don't get distracted. Vote like it matters because it fucking does. So, I'm trying to think anything else.

Now it's been a relatively quiet week, nothing major. I'd update my phone because my phone is dying, so I signed away three years of my life in advance. But you do what you get to do, so I'll do that. Other than that, not a real lot today, other than the clergy story. And you mentioned you did tell the story about Egan or Eaton. Sorry, I mentioned it a couple times. I wasn't sure.

I must have missed it when you said it, so I apologize for that. Oh, no worries. I'm trying to think anything else that I've seen. Nope, it's been a rather lovely week so far, perfectly clear at night. It's been great weather for May. It's my hobby. But we're going to catch the outer band of the Nor'easter this. weekend. It's not going to hit us directly. It's going to hit the coast.

But I can see the bands forming here in the sky tonight. You can see them hanging up there. So it's won't touch me, but it's coming. Other than that, I don't have a lot. So I'll just turn over to Roger, and if I hear something, I'll chime in. Okay. And by the way, anybody else wanted to jump into the conversation?

Don't be shy. We love the exchange and the free for all conversation. Hey, Roger, how are you? Well, I'm doing all right. It's been a busy week with some canning classes and the rest of it. And today is a little busy because we just put up 19 quarts of tomato sauce. So, okay busy.

What kind of tomatoes did you use for your sauce? Well, Cherokee Purple is an Italian paste tomato. God, I love Cherokee Purple's. But anyhow, what I found really kind of amusing is that it came out with one of the reasons that Trump kicked out MSNBC and CNN and Republicans was because, according to him, they had leaked some details about the security. of his ballroom. But then, G, the Chinese leader, shows up and gets two personal tours of the new ballroom construction. Now, how can a news agency make a report on the building of the bunker underneath and the ballroom and then

up goes and gives a personal tour to the head of state of a communist country. Jesus. And of course, he's not going to be impressed by that. I mean, he's got the great hall of the people. He's got Tiananmen Square.

And then the other one that was kind of interesting. Apparently Tammy Duckworth as put a fly in the ointment. Oh, yeah. In that the Archie Trump, when it was just an arch, was cleared by the FAA, FAA, and now that it's a drone platform,

all of a sudden that FAA saying it wouldn't hamper flights, now that it's going to be a drone launching site, it's going to be another number like that helicopter airliner crash that killed a shipload of people because even though it's height's not a problem when you start launching drones off of it they're going to launch right into the flight path of landing at Reagan National

how just how stupid how big a fuck up is he yeah I know to support somebody that is throwing caution to the wind and creating problems for our commercial aviation industry. Anyhow, those are the two things that came to my mind this week as I was trying to avoid the news stations. Understandable. But other than that, you know, we've had a few rains come through, don't need to irrigate the garden any.

more. Still no ears of corn on the corn. So I don't think I'm going to get any corn off of it this year. We'll see what happens next year. I plant in a different spot and deal with stuff. Life's good. Yeah. Now, you mentioned Tammy Duckworth, Roger,

and I honestly thought you were going to mention something else. because I generally hold significant respect for Senator Duckworth but I saw a story earlier this week that gave me pause and that's P-A-U-S-E, not P-A-W-S, I don't want to get Tommy Tuverville all upset. The story I saw was that Tammy Duckie,

Senator Duckworth has said that when Democrats regain control of the Congress, they should not impeach anyone. And I'll confess it made me want to eat dirt and run rabbits. Because if we continue to let this outlaw behavior go unpunished, then as bad as this already is, is something even worse will come this way. Now, was that her just posturing during election time? Does she want to be seen as being regretfully dragged to an unpleasant task that must nonetheless be accomplished? I don't know. But when I see something like that, it's like, well, shit.

Well, I have seen that brought up, but with a caveat, and that was one should. Let's assume that everything changes hands on January 3rd or whatever the House has a totally different majority. The first thing they should do is not file the impeachment resolution. The first thing they should do is to open up some investigations and get it into the congressional record on this stuff before they filed the impeachment proceedings. In other words, don't just start with the impeachment proceedings and go to an impeachment hearing. They should go after, you know, like call RFK Jr. in there and show his incompetence. use the power of subpoena to get testimony against HECF and the asshole cash Patel over the FBI. In other words, gather testimony and evidence being brought out by a budgetary request or something of this sort,

and get these folks on the record of screwing up, and then come with the hand. on the impeachment proceedings. That was the way I thought being presented. If you simply start out with the impeachment hearings, and all of a sudden, if everybody gives testimony, they know it's impeachment hearing, they're giving testimony out. Whereas if it's dealing with Cash Patel over at the FBI and the number of people they fired and why they were fired

and this kind of thing, all of the people all of a sudden that can lead into a deeper dive during an impeachment hearing. You've already got the fact submitted into the congressional record that people were fired not properly. Does that make sense? Yeah, it does. It does. There's one little wrinkle in this, however, and that is, you know, the reason that Mullah Moses Mike, the Southern Baptist Minister Speaker,

I always want to reinforce the fact that he's a Southern Baptist minister because it does not reflect well on the Southern Baptist Convention. A little gentle reminder along the way. Before he became Speaker, at one point in time, Mike was all set to become the dean of a brand-new law school, I think, down in New Orleans, that was going to be named after an evil gelical divine of some sort. had never quite got off the ground, but the old pervert was actually a pedophile.

And they were going to name the law school after him, and Mike Johnson was going to be the dean. Anyway, neither here or there. The reason he turned Congress loose was because Thomas Massey made him. Thomas Massey made Mike Johnson turn tail and run and show what a cowardly is because Thomas Massey filed a privileged resolution which meant that it had to be heard in two legislative days and it was a bill of impeachment against Whiskey Pete Kegbreath and Johnson dismissed the House

with one day to go before having to hear it So theoretically, when the House comes back on November 9th, well, they'll have to deal with that impeachment resolution. And they've got every Democrat on board, and they've got Massey, and they may be able to pass the bill of impeachment without a hearing. because the allegations are within or are contained within the bill of impeachment and then it would go to the Senate where it would be the business of the Senate to try it and depending on what the outcome of the Senate elections have been

that could get interesting rather quickly and as to the difference between hearings versus impeachment well, the easiest comparison to make for impeachment under the Constitution, it's a political process. We know this. It is not a criminal process. It's not even a civil process. It is a political process. But in terms of looking for an analog for it, the best comparison is to that of a grand jury. a grand jury merely hears the evidence and votes on two questions. Is it more likely than not that a crime was committed?

And if the answer to that is yes, is the person charged the one who more than likely committed the crime? More than likely being 50% plus 0.000-0-0-0-0-0-1. And so if the House is serving in that capacity, then they could take the bill of impeachment, filed. by Thomas Nassie, vote on it, and the DUI hire would stand impeached. And then if the Senate did nothing with it, well, that's a problem for the Senate. Does that make sense? Yeah, it makes sense. But in that case, the House of Representatives simply heard an allegation, voted on it, and passed it on the Senate.

to do the full investigation and the trial, assuming that they would do what they're supposed to do, which the Republican Senate won't. But if they go to hearings first and develop referrals to the Department of Justice based on evidence from the hearing, then they will have gathered a lot of the evidence that the Senate could not ignore.

in a just world. The Senate could ignore anything they want. But anyway, that was the, that's my understanding of the idea regarding hold hearings and gather testimony before you file the formal impeachment articles. Anyhow, we'll see what pans out. I'm not there, you're not there. and I mean, I can write letters until my hands fall off to my local members of the House of Representatives,

my local member for the House of Representatives, but it's not going to change what the full House is going to do. Only people in the House can deal with that. Right, and the thing is, Massey may actually have the votes to render that bill of impeachment, unless he were to withdraw his resolution. I don't see Massey withdrawing any resolution. No, he's still pissed. He's got a hard-on so hard for Donald Trump that he doesn't need any testosterone from Pegg Breath.

Yeah, I was going to say, Kegbreath doesn't need to give him the hard-on questionnaire. Oh, by the way, I have a solution to anybody that's got a problem waking up with a Woody. Get prostate cancer and get radiation. He'll never have a Woody in the morning again. That seems like a... Well, I'll... I'll just withhold. Yeah.

Not a good time. Anyhow, I see Tristan's here and Squeaky's here, so one of them can pop in. Squeaky error takes his microphone off mute. Yeah, it's always nice to see Squeaky in the room. Wait a minute. Let me go to somebody else, but I've got a message from Steve from Georgia's gym. I'll have to dig it up and then I'll read it. Okay, well, let me check in with Tristan.

Hey, Roxanne. Can you hear me all right? You sound like you're sitting right here next to me. Oh, that's fantastic. Can you hear my screen reader? I hope not. No, no, I don't so far. That's good.

No, I'm attempting to use a different setup. I have you going through my hearing aids and the microphone doing what the microphone does. So I just wanted to see if that worked because it's a lot easier to hear. with my hearing aids, surprisingly enough. So, yeah, but life is good. Hope you're doing well. It was, like I said, it was an absolutely lovely, although cool day. We've blown right past the transition between summer and autumn.

It's just autumn now, but there's still a little bit of green left, so that's nice. Oh, yeah. Yeah, apparently down where my mom lives in South Pierce County, Last I heard, there was a storm, knocked the power out, and my brother's girlfriend is waiting for the hospital to call her so that they can induce. Oh, my goodness. Yeah. Well, here's hoping she doesn't go into labor before they get a chance to induce. Well, I would hope so.

I guess it does happen sometimes. Apparently, my mom didn't. I guess they induced her when I came out, and it happened at the movies. So. Oh, my. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, it's a baby girl and not really sure what her name's going to be. I've given my brother some options, but I don't know if he's going to take them.

You want to share the options you've provided? Let's see. Um, Siena, Serafina. I'm trying to think. Well, I did tell him that you should name the kid Morgan, but that's just because that's his name. So I wasn't actually serious about that, but I like those two names. I was bullied, in third grade, I was bullied by a little, a little girl named Morgan, who bullied me saying that Robin was a girl's name. Damn.

Yeah. A little girl named Morgan. Oh, Morgan's also a boy name. My brother, Morgan Freeman. He's a guy, obviously. At least as far as I know. You guys have a Morgan from West Virginia. He's no longer with us, but Morgan Spurlock.

He's from West Virginia. And, of course, the founder of Morgantown, home of Harvard on the Mon, my beloved alma mater, was Morgan Morgan. Parents weren't terribly creative. No. And now there's a law firm called Morgan and Morgan that's advertised on all the big YouTubers. But I just wanted to make... And by the way, that son of a bitch is just a wild-eyed maggot piece of shit, by the way.

Yeah, yeah, he is. And I don't understand why people... Well, it's mostly the right-wing fuckers who are getting sponsorships from him. but also some apolitical people or so-called apolitical people. But I just wanted to make a correction. Roger said pro-publica got kicked out of the White House. It wasn't ProPublica. It was Politico. Yeah, it was Politico.

Yeah. I don't know if, I don't think the White House, especially under Trump, would let ProPublica near them because they'd be decimated. Oh, there's that decimated word again. decimated. Is that a new word that you're using? No, the dairy lady that we've been playing her reels, her clips, used it two or three times in her complaining video that we played yesterday.

I remember. Yes, yes, no, I remember. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Stab! Yeah. One, two, three, three, three. four, five, six,

seven, eight, nine, hack. One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight, nine, spear. Uh, yeah.

To kill, to kill one in ten members of a century or a legion. Yeah. Yeah. Well, it's just,

it doesn't really surprise me that we have so many people who aren't able to connect the dots, given the, the video that I made this morning about

they're trying to dismantle. Well, Doge has successfully gotten rid of several people who worked in the

National, what was it, National Council on Education Statistics or something? They're the ones Yeah, we're no longer, we're no longer measuring

how shitty our test scores are for our kids. Exactly. And, and, And they seem to think it's a win. They seem to think that that is going to help. And, you know, like I've said before, it's, they want people to be broke and unhealthy and not know how they got that way.

Well, yeah. And, of course, this is the same theory from the same nitwit, Nero, who said, Well, if we don't count COVID numbers, we won't have COVID deaths. exactly exactly yep if we don't count bad test scores

and we don't have bad test scores exactly of course I don't think I don't think kids should be measured by test scores anyway but that's a separate issue but it's just

interesting you need to find a way to mess with your drin for your video viewership you seem to attract some of the dumbest motherfuckers

I've ever heard in comments I swear to God. I know. I know. I forget what it was. This week or last week, the one about presidential shootings and stuff like that. You know, it's something I blatantly put up a meme that showed all the presidents that been killed by people, said they've all been shot by Democrats. Not a single one of our presidents been shot by a Democrat. None of them.

No. Yo, it's Facebook. Well, I mean, arguably, Jeremy, arguably, John Will. Wilkes Booth was probably a Democrat. He was a Southern pro-slavery Democrat. Yeah, but I don't count them as Democrats. The party switched. He's really a Republican. Yeah, he would be a happy member of the Republican Party today, but yeah. Absolutely. But I guess on a technical level, you're probably, technically he would have been considered Democrat, but you don't have been getting it.

Sure. The fuckhead who shot James Garfield. He was kind of insane, though, wasn't he? I don't think he had any political agenda. The Garfield, the guy, yeah, no. Actually, he was aligned with Garfield's own party. Garfield was a Republican, and he was nuts because he thought that he, what was his name, Gatro? Yeah. Gytro.

He thought he was entitled to a federal patronage job. He thought he'd be seen as a hero, too, in a God complex. I think that might be the guy who shot McKinley, Jeremy. Is that the one that the Netflix did this series on wherever it was? Was that McKinley? No, that was Garfield. Well, the guy I'm talking about, I thought he had a God conflict with the way he acted. But he also thought he'd be seen as a hero and loved by the public.

He thought he'd break into acting or something, weirdly. Oh, no, he was a genuine, brass-bound, bona fide weirdo. he had spent time at a free love colony in upstate New York and left disillusioned from there because none of the people who were doing the free love wanted to free love on him and so he kind of creeped he just creepered around looking at the other people while they were you know copulating at least that's what the

that's what the series on Netflix portrayed what was it lightning something something lightning I didn't mean to break in. Go ahead, Tristan. I'm sorry. I just want to comment on your review. Go ahead. No, that's okay.

I wanted to thank you, Tristan, for sending me that delightful little piece of correspondence the other day. I thought it might make for a lovely little interlude here on this Friday on the front porch, because God knows we need a giggle. So let me... This is from a group called Fear and Loathing closer to the... The Edge. They are a comedy and satire group, and this is some magnificent stuff. It's simply called My Dearest Peter. And let me get the music going. My dearest Peter, I just wanted to write and tell you how incredibly proud I am of you. I know you've been terribly busy with the war in Iran,

the Department of War and your groundbreaking initiative to ensure that America's fighting men wake up each and every morning with erections. Your father and I couldn't be more delighted. Other defense secretaries have concerned themselves with aircraft carriers, nuclear deterrence, and geopolitical strategy. You've had the courage to look beyond these conventional priorities and ask the question nobody else was brave enough to ask. Are our boys getting hard in the morning?

That's my Peter, always thinking outside the box. I watched your high-key Department of War announcement, sweetheart. What a magnificent achievement. For generations, American military leaders have relied on ammunition, intelligence, logistics, and battlefield experience. You've introduced something far more fundamental, testosterone. I can only imagine the confidence our our outstanding, allies must feel knowing that the United States is finally addressing this critical dimension of national security.

NATO should consider adopting your program. A fully erect alliance is a formidable alliance. And your commitment to physical appearance? Peter, you've always understood that presentation matters. A clean, shaven soldier with a properly maintained waistline sends a powerful message to our adversaries. Imagine being an Iranian general in discovering that the American Secretary of Defense personally cares whether his troops have shaved and experienced spontaneous morning erections. The psychological impact must be enormous. I wouldn't be surprised if the entire Iranian military surrendered upon receiving the screening questionnaire. I understand President Trump has described the war as small potatoes.

What a wonderful expression. It reminds us to maintain people. perspective. Military expenditures, oil prices, diesel prices, fertilizer costs, and casualties are all matters that can be discussed through appropriate channels. But the health of our fighting men's reproductive systems deserves the immediate attention of the highest levels of government. You've demonstrated the ability to prioritize an issue that previous administration and somehow overlooked for 250 years. I hope you've considered establishing a dedicated command structure.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff could receive a weekly briefing, perhaps a color-coded readiness chart. Green for satisfactory, yellow for further evaluation, and red for immediate medical consultation. You could call it the morning readiness initiative. I'm sure the acronym would be lovely. and just imagine the annual report to Congress. Your presentation could include a magnificent bar graph.

Speaking of Congress, I hope the senators appreciate what you're doing. Some people might wonder why the Secretary of Defense is concerning himself with the spontaneous erections of hundreds of thousands of grown men. Those people simply lack your vision, Peter. They see a penis. You see a national security asset. They see a routine physiological occurrence. You see an opportunity to optimize the lethality of the greatest fighting force in human history. That's the difference between an ordinary man and my son.

I'm especially pleased that you're addressing men over 30. Your father and I know how quickly the years pass. One moment you're a young man with your whole life ahead of you, and the next you're sitting in a military clinic explaining to a physician whether you've been waking up with an erection. What a beautiful demonstration of the government's commitment to its people. I only wish your grandfather had lived to see it. He would have been speechless.

Please remember to take care of yourself, sweetheart. Eat your vegetables, drink plenty of water, and get a good night's sleep. I know the war keeps you busy, but you mustn't neglect your own health. The nation needs you rested, energized, and ready to face whatever rises with the sun. your father and I are so proud of the man you've become you've taken one of the most powerful military institutions on earth and given it a mission that is deeply personal, profoundly intimate and entirely unprecedented in the history of American warfare

keep up the wonderful work Peter America is counting on you and apparently you're counting on America wake up hard all my love mom p.S I hope President Trump gives you a medal, preferably one that stands upright.

Tristan, that was brilliant. I mean, that, that, that, hmm, fear and loathing closer to the edge there on Facebook. And you can, you can find it there. Again, fear and loathing, closer to the edge. And it's a delight. Don't you love how they just kept, they just kept jabbing him, keep up something that'll rise with the sun? Yeah, just the constant punnery. Yes.

Brilliant. And you know what those colors reminded me of that they were describing? Remember Tom Ridge? Yes, yeah. Oh, his color-coded alert system? Yes, exactly. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Green, yellow, red, immediate attention. But we need little moments like that. Ralph, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I think Ralph's is laughing herself silly up there in New Jersey. Hmm. Yeah. Well, it's been a depressing episode. weeks so

Cynthia in the Bay Area says I wonder what's next for our troops to help their war fighting methamphetamines well I mean the the Vermock tried it but it's kind of hard to stay really still

when you're trying to you know sneak ambush somebody when you're busy chewing the air gum and you know scratching the invisible bugs that are running up and on your skin. So Pete's Department of War yet made public if they're going to prosecute the eight or more members of the Abraham Lincoln that tried to commit suicide in their extended tour.

I haven't seen that, but I did see breaking news this evening just before airtime, Jeremy, from the Washington Post that said, headline, Pentagon quietly adds dozens to tally of troops wounded amid Iran war. and the subhead says with the addition of 29 U.S. sailors and eight Marines, the total number of personnel wounded since the start of hostilities has risen to 861 database shows. The thing is they're not saying anything about how those sailors and Marines got hurt. Still far, far higher than that. I mean, we lost 60 planes in this conflict.

Misadventure. tell you that in every ejection the pilot is safe that's statistically not even close to true i have no doubt uh... and let's see uh... the number is up to eight hundred and sixty one according to official figures the uh... defense casualty analysis system

still no word on whether that grieving widow uh... is going to get full military benefits for the death of her husband an air force major who was aboard a refueling tanker plane and was and she was told that well it wasn't really a war death but the thing is the uh dc as database doesn't uh doesn't explain how the 37 troops were wounded or when uh one uh someone in the navy said all of the sailors went back to duty after the unspecified injury I wonder if they ate some diarrhea, let us aboard the Abraham Lincoln. And when Navy and the Marine Corps were asked, they said,

Oh, you need to ask U.S. Central Command. And, of course, that's being run by the Bradmoral, who is an orange, well, orange-ish brown-nosed, licks fiddle for nitwit, Nero, and B.B. Netanyahu. The problem is there's no disclosure on any recent attacks that would expect. explained 37 new additions to the wounded or killed list. And the Washington Post had a story last week that more members of the U.S. military have died in the Middle East during the conflict than the Pentagon has publicly disclosed, as you noted, Jeremy. And there are as many as five military fatalities that aren't reflected in DCAS. and the military so far has refused to offer any explanation.

And when the article came out, the DUI hire Whiskey Pete, dear Peter, said, Oh, that's disgusting, man. A bunch of losers? Disgusting, yeah. I mean, we know they're still lying because as of it, what was it, three, four months ago, many overseas news agencies reporting our casualties much closer to

2,500 to 3,000. It's not 800. It's still being vastly suppressed, so we don't know how bad it is. Look at what they did to our military being. Yeah. People don't just walk away from strikes like that. It doesn't fucking happen. Yeah, I think I mean, I don't know.

But when we see the general American public, when they think drone, they think those cute little four-armed, basically, helicopters that are radio-controlled and fly over stadiums and whatnot. But we're talking about some big-ass aircraft that pack a whale of a payload of explosives. I mean, our base in Saudi Arabia, our base in Qatar, flattened. dormitories facilities not there give you a little

baseline we have a drone quote quote drone which is called like automated wingman a little smaller than an F-C because it's not man that's considered a drone

it can make decisions and protect the pilot of the plane that's flying as wingman is on its own but that's considered a drone it's not a little toy right yeah and there are shit tons of them in the air I mean a drone strike is often a massive number of these explosives to get into the subject of drones I'm going to switch to a different theater I'm going to switch to Ukraine for a second okay

what's happening in the countryside there despite the fact that Ukraine is kicking the shit out of Russia it's it's going to be an ecological disaster If you've seen any of the footage from the press that gets into areas where the conflict has died down a bit, there are tens upon thousands of miles of fiber wires stretched across all the forest. It's basically a fiber optic wire. It's how they control the drones for such great distance. We're talking miles and miles and miles from both sides. Draped over trees, all through the forest.

It's going to be disaster for decades of the come to clean that stuff up. Yeah, this is a mess. for a generation. Well, also, Ukraine has been sending drones up into the Russian Arctic and nailing their natural gas to do liquefied natural gas, their wind terminals, up in Siberia. That's, you know, thousand kilometers away they're set being able to send drones. Yeah, that's why Putin's got Trump convinced that our diesel prices and higher, because Ukraine is hitting Russia.

I'm just amplifying what Robin said that the drones that they're talking about that Iran is using and Ukraine is using, they're small radio, well, there's small fighter planes

that are remotely controlled. They're not your helicopter numbers that run on a rechargeable battery. These things are full-blown jet engine fighter planes. well, fighter bombers. Yeah, one way.

And they don't fight. They just go one way. It's a kamikaze plane without a pilot. Yes, the radio-controlled warheads, basically with the air. Yeah. They're kamikazis without the human element. Correct. Well, what was it yesterday?

The day before I had the story of the FBI being hacked. And the hackers said, no, we're not going to try to get. any money out of these people. This is strictly coercive, meaning that I think they had something more up their sleeve, but well, this maladministration could fuck up a one-car

funeral, living proof of which exists in the latest case. The Pentagon under the DUI hire, no surprise, got their personnel database breached, and, well, they exposed the social security numbers

and other personal identifying information about current and former military personnel. People described as unauthorized users got hold of the Defense Manpower Data Center server last year, about this time. Ah, there's only one problem. The Pentagon didn't find it until July

of this year. Gosh, maybe they shouldn't have purged all those computer nerd trans girls and trans guys, maybe. CNN had the story and said, yeah, they didn't even discover it or even try to

fix the problem for, let's see. Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, mm, mm. Yeah, nine months. Just remember during the last election cycle, when Biden was still in office, Trump went to, we all saw the picture. He went to Arlington and posed with a supposed grieving family. And one of the women did the white power symbol, the OK symbol in the picture. They were posed in a part of Arlington.

Photography or videotography is strictly forbidden. because the people who died there were classified members of the military no matter what branch and their family members who were still alive were put at risk to that exposure there's literally names on tombstones we should not know because of that fucking picture that other countries can find members of these families now right but nitwit Niro doesn't care they're suckers and losers right

anyhow there's a message from Steve from Georgia Stan After actively talking with neighbors, folks and stores, people I met out and about, people throughout the metro Atlanta area, here's my latest breed on the Georgia midterms. I am quite confident that John Ostock is going to retain his seat in the Senate. I am equally confident that Keisha Lance Bottoms is not going to win a head-to-head race against Rick Jackson for governor. Jackson is running a much better campaign, and, and he has considerably more funding behind his bed for the governor's feet.

I'm not going to tell you the obvious reasons why Keish and Lance Bottoms is going to lose. You already know why. Please feel free to pass this along if you want. I'm sure there are plenty of dog whistles to go with it. But I'm sure that the reason that Bottoms is going to lose is because of her skin color. Bingo. And the fact that she's female. she's one of those blah people that Rick Santorum talked about so famously.

I get it now, okay. She's got a bit more melanin than most folks. Well, as a good white person will tell you, you know, white people are minority throughout the world. Being sarcastic, of course. Well, they may even be a minority in Georgia. I don't know. Yes, but those same crazy white Christians will tell you that

the black Egyptians held the white Egyptian in bondage for 3,000 years, and we know they fucking didn't. What a bunch of asinite bullshit. Those hands, more than likely, the Egyptians were not white. No, of course not. No. Did you guys hear about the voicemail that James Talariko left on Ken Paxton's phone this morning? No, that must be good. Yeah, I mean, I think Raw Story had it.

He was just like, hey, Ken. We haven't been able to get together to debate at all, but I'll come and debate you. I'll come on Fox News and Brett Bayer can moderate us so we can hear from, so Texans can hear from both of us. We'd love to hear from you, Ken. I hope to hear from you soon. Bye. It's difficult James Talariko fashion with a smile and a handshake basically tells you that you're a fucking coward, Ken Paxton. and does it on your own voicemail yeah

oh yeah yeah I think the yeah the videos on Tala Rico's Facebook maybe Twitter I think it's on Twitter or what used to be Twitter but yeah

I mean I thought that was pretty fantastic and the Republicans have certainly got a I don't know Rocco Republicans always chicken out it's kind of seemed to be with him and who

Tommy Tube reveal. Yeah. And Mike Rogers? Yeah. Yeah, I think we're going to have to, we're going to have to start saying Rocco, no. Rocco or Rocco? Do you have a preference? Well, it's A, so you could say Racco or Raco.

Racco. Republicans always chicken out. No, that's Racco, because. Well, there's a certain, it's a certain painful reminder to about half of the species. I see. I know. I know for a fact, Robin, if you got on a plane and you saw the pilot as a furry, you jump right off. And Charlie Kirk would have approved and clapped.

Speaking of which, I have an update on that. Ralps sent this along. Thank you, Ralps. Tommy the Tuber got community noted over on his because he wasn't content to just leave it alone

and let people know what an idiot he was he wanted to double down and prove that he's an even bigger idiot he posted I know the D-Ranged Democrats don't like the fact that I call called out the insane, all caps, furry culture this week.

But the truth is, there's an alarming number of these deranged people working in our airline industry. Don't believe me, just a few months ago, pilots were meowing and barking at each other over the radio at DCA. And provided a clip of, meow, meow. Well, there's the community note. The audio of pilots meowing and barking at DCA was a long-standing aviation joke meme on the emergency guard frequency, 121.5, unrelated to furries or any subculture per reports and pilot accounts. Now, earlier this morning on my filthy morning habit, proving that, yes, indeed, somebody's paying attention, they found the post from gubernatorial candidate Doug Jones, the Democrat,

who in response to Tommy the Tubers rant there in the Senate, just posted a very simple photograph of Tommy back when he was a coach at Auburn, all snuggled up to Aubie the Auburn Tiger. A furry. I'll have you know, Robin. My mom doesn't know about them, but if she could, she would have given you a cowbell, and I told her about you saying,

Hey, Tommy, you dumb motherfucker. What do you think your team's mascot was? It's a fucking furry. She laughed pretty good about that one. Oh, yay. I was happy to get a giggle from Jeremy's mama. Hey to her. Hey to mama, Jeremy.

At least it's not a real tiger. like LSU's got. Yeah, that poor cat. I know. Well, maybe he can attack Tommy Tuberville for us. Metaphorically, I'm not suggesting literally, but... Yeah, right. And, you know, it's not just him, but a lot of these people,

they're beginning to sound more and more deranged themselves. They're sounding like... Well, they are, and that's... And that's one thing that Morning Jehoshaphat keeps pointing out, and I guess he, you know, repetition is the soul of reinforcement. He keeps calling them betas. He wants to call them beta cucks, but I don't think, I don't think Meekamouse will let him.

But he keeps calling them betas saying, you know, they follow one orange man. They follow one man who, right. and he again brought out the fact that there are less than 10 NCAA trans athletes out of 550,000 in the United States. So, I mean, good, I just wish he would, I wish he could, I wish he could really learn and really comprehend all the way down to the ground. the idea that trans people and and that's the thing that's the other thing he keeps referring to trans not trans people not trans women not trans men trans and that's one that's one of those uh uh verbal ticks that just oh makes my brain itch because it's an adjective i i know he went to alabama he talks about it all the time so did i yeah

He and I are the same age, which is wild. I went to Alabama, he went to Alabama, I went to another school, he went to another school, I went to law school, he went to law school, and I know he knows what a fucking adjective is. Trans is not a noun. Now, did he actually, did he get his Latin somewhere along the way? I don't know. I don't know. But it's an adjective, not a noun. and I know nobody here uses it that way, but you might hear somebody do that and you go,

no, no, no, it's an adjective, not an out. Trans has to modify something. Person, woman, man, kid. There's even trans music. I thought that was trance. Oh, is it trance? I'm sorry. Yes.

Maybe I fucked it up. I had someone not too long ago say all these people wanting to be trans. This is a real straight person. And I looked at them and said, okay, did you choose to be straight? Like, well, no. I said, stop saying they want to be trans, you know, motherfucker. It's the same thing. We don't choose to be who we are or who we were.

Yeah, because honestly, who would choose this? I fought it for an entire lifetime. I thought the trans and the trans one. Hi, Steve. Hey, Roxanne. Oh, go ahead. Go ahead. What are we going to say?

No, I was just going to say I got a college football story for you. Oh, okay. No, when you talk about, you know, trans is an adjective. It's like, you know, you don't ever, you don't, I guarantee you, Joe does not, Joe probably has gay friends. He probably doesn't say I have a gay. Oh. Because, you know, if you walk around saying, I have a gay, people are going to make certain assumptions about you.

They're going to make certain assumptions about you. But it's like, I have a gay friend, or I have a straight friend, or I, that's, the thing that really, the thing that really bugs me about using trans as a noun is it really, it really has the effect of dehumanizing trans people. Right. It's othering language. It's, it's, it's even, it's even, it's even, it's, it's, it's, it's othering language, but it's also dehuman, it's, ultimately it's dehumanizing. A trans or a gay or a straight or, uh, you know, lowering people. Lowering people. That's, Kristen, you are 100% right. You're 100% right. No, that's 100% right. And, and you know what's even worse. Sorry, go ahead. No, I was just going to point out that there's an extension beyond that.

When you write it out, it is T-R-A-N-S space, woman, man, child, person. Because when you slam it all together into one word, you're suggesting that the person in question is something other than the noun that trans is modifying. Right. Yeah, yeah. I completely agree with you. I guess we can say it's... Go ahead, Tristan.

No, no, no. No, I was just going to say, I guess it's slightly better. What's worse than trans and my... Like, using that word that way is when people say, people with transgenderism or transgender ideology. Oh, yeah, no, I'm not a philosophy. I'm a real breathing, living, walking, talking, a human being. I am not something...

I am not an idea to be debated in the halls of government. You're a trans woman, period. I'm a woman. Period. I'm a woman, period. Any trans person to the idea that it's a lifestyle choice. That annoys the fuck out of me when they say it's a lifestyle. No, it's going to.

You fucking are. Well, careful, Jeremy, because you can get into the weeds real quick with this because there are people out there adopting the trans label who change their pronouns and their clothing and do absolutely not another thing else and they're under the umbrella they also have a way of they also have a way of talking over people who have you know gone the full route

I can think of a celebrity TikTok at this point that's doing that. It's quite annoying when I listen. I watch their videos for entertainment. They talk down to the group of people they're supposedly with and say they don't consider some trans. That's the weird part about it. Or even though they've done everything but the big bottom surge, they don't consider himself one of the group. They're just doing this because it's kind of like a fetish.

They've always wanted to do this. It's really kind of a weird way of going about things. Well, and that's another thing with Jehosephat there. two days in a row now he has compared trans people to dr frankinfurter and if you recall the line from the song i'm just a sweet transvestite from transsexual transylvania that was richard o'brien just engaging in in wordplay but you know a transvestite is ancient language um but no a cross-dressress is not the same thing as a trans woman or trans man. A cross-dresser gets a sexual thrill out of it, takes the clothing off, and then is their ordinary cisgender self the rest of the time. Tadah. My costume, my life is not a costume, and I can't take it off at the end of the day.

So, it gets complicated. and and then you know i say trans because that can be either transgender or transsexual uh transsexual is more of a disfavored term but that's the term i learned when i was as a kid when i was figuring out who i was right and it refers to uh transitioning one's sex it has nothing to do with sexuality but merely bringing one's sexual characteristics into alignment with one's innate sense of gender. So when people ask me, I tell them, yeah, I had sex reassignment surgery. I don't say I had gender confirmation surgery or gender affirmation surgery.

My innate sense of self was female from the time that I achieved consciousness. I learned very quickly to repress that and suppress that and never say it. damned word because I didn't want to wake, I didn't want to find myself the next morning floating face down dead in the Tennessee River not by my own hand. It was hard enough for the gay kids I grew up with. Um, trans kids just didn't survive. And so, I mean, just for anybody wants to know about your humble hostess, because I try to be an open book here, um, I don't even use the word anymore. I just got a note from Cynthia saying, uh, um, yeah i don't even want to label trans i want to be defined by who i am cynthia and that's it yeah i don't use trans i say woman and that's it i like that i like that i like that i like to be called i like to be called steve not gay steve right we're safe steve we don't call you that we call you f t p steve steve fuck the police steve it's a joke for about n w a n w a yep

but there is a you know there's a difference of opinion out there inside the community and oh my God

the fights and the and the the the carrying on and then you know the tranzier

than thou arguments and I happen to be of the opinion that one can leave it behind that was the whole point of transition I did not want

to walk around with the trans albatross hanging around my neck for the rest of my natural born days yeah there was a beginning middle and end yeah and it was hard and it's extra wonderful to be on the other side of that and no more dysphoria no more imposter syndrome and well you know i can i i just i go about my business. I live like most of the women here do. I don't put on a stunning cocktail frock to go to the wiggling peg or even makeup sometimes. You don't wear five-inch heels to go to the wiggling pig?

No, I would break an ankle and they'd have to come and put me down on the track, just like a horse. That's only because the X beat out of you, the urge to wear a tutu everywhere. Don't whine to us. We know the truth. You know, Jeremy, you make a joke, but there's a curse among trans women. May you be forced to live the rest of your life wearing only what you wore in the first year of transition? And for a lot of us, it's like, no, please, no. I can't tell you the last time I wore a dress. because women around here don't run around in dresses much

unless it's Sunday going to church and of course there's no churches I could or would go to around here because the deacons would probably catch fire or make some sort of rude remarked. You mean you don't go to the church of San Matrice? Yeah, no, sorry. I didn't know, I don't think we've got a branch here.

I had a friend of my, used to say that all the time. He goes, yes, I go to the church and send my trees. Cynthia said, if I wasn't on the other side of this too, I have no doubt I'd be dead. You know what? It's kind of nice to be alive. Right. And I'm enjoying my life as an old lady. And I look forward to enjoying more of it. You know, if I can just keep them from, you know, coming and sending me off to the gulag, because we do have to think about that kind of stuff. because other people are thinking about it. But that's enough of that.

It is. I told you I have a college football story for you, Steve. Yeah, I was going to say, I was just going to say, well, I remember the college football story. By the way, wasn't it, by the way, wasn't it nice to see Lane Kippen get his butt handed to him last week? Oh, that was glorious. Yes. And see the confirmation that we, that here.

in the hills we are in fact the best virginia we weren't we weren't we weren't even supposed to figure in in i mean we were big time underdogs the bookies the bookies were laughing all the way to the bank and then by the time it was over they were hemorrhaging money yay uh 37 27 27 and it was only 37 27 because the the the the scrubs let one through at the Mountaineer Scrubs let one through at the very end of the game. Tomorrow may be different.

Tomorrow is a night game, and Oklahoma State is coming into Mountaineer Field. Hooy! Going to be some drunk people in Morgantown before kickoff. Night games are a thing at Mountaineer Field, Steve. They are. But, well, I guess, I don't know if Steve Sarkees, and is trying to crawl out of the doghouse that he got himself into last week, or, you know, with the Ohio State game and his shitty behavior. But he's dropping the, he dropped the dime on nitwit Nero.

Really? Yes. I mean, I've heard he's pretty much, I've heard he's kind of a scumbag anyway. He's an asshole. Yeah. Yeah, that's what I've heard. And you know what? He should savor where he is because I'm going to tell you something.

They're not going to stay there very long. Well, I mean, the thing is they go into General Nayland Stadium tomorrow on the banks of the Tennessee River in Knoxville. And nitwit. I would love to see Tennessee beat them. Yeah. Oh, Rocky Top all the way. Yes, Rocky Top all the way. But the thing is, nitwit Nero is attending the game.

and Sarkesian got a heads up from his buddy Mario Cristobal, the head coach at Miami. You might recall that last year, Miami made a pretty damn decent showing going all the way to eventually losing to Indiana, 2721. and Miami was trying to score, even, you know, even as the clock run out. But Mario Cristobal gave a heads up to Steve Sarkeesian. The Sarkeesian talked about it at the CFP National Championship last January. Nitwit Niro was in attendance, and of course, because he doesn't really care, he just wants to be seen. And so he took off early. And what Christobal told Sarkeesian about Nittreau being in attendance in Knoxville tomorrow is that things may be game management, things like clock management, play calling, can all just be completely screwed sideways by his presence.

Now, ordinarily, when we think about him going to a game, I mean, look at the, You're there. You're in New York. Look at what a snarled up nightmare he created when he went to the Knicks game. The only Knicks championship series game that they lost. Because he's cursed. He curses anything he gets near. So, Sarkeesian said, listen, I have to prepare to not be, based on what Mark

Mario Cristobov told him, I have to prepare for not being able to communicate with my coaches in the box. And he said that because of his comings and goings, they very well may cut off the head coach's headset and the quarterback's helmet set as a matter of security. And so what Sarkeesian said was, If he decides to leave in the game early, your communication gets cut off and shut down. Last year, when Miami was playing Indiana in the National Championship, they had that drive at the end of the game.

They had no communications because Trump was leaving. And Joke Toad had a hissy, saying, are you telling me that Trump cost Miami in the final drive? Is that what Sark is saying? And a lot of other sports writers chimed in. So, you know, given the fact that, oh, trader tot and I think

Eric the dumber both are on the boards at Calci or Polly Market or both and for all I know on the boards

at some of these gambling online gambling houses they could if the game is close they could daddy could literally fuck up the outcome

of the game but well I think I'll leave now on board let's go back to the air you know Because he sundowns, too. And if he starts falling apart and, you know, talking to people who aren't there and whatnot, they have to get him out of there, in which case they have to cut off the communication between the coach and his quarterback and the coach and the booth.

How about that? Really? Wow. And tell me which game is this again tomorrow? Tennessee, Texas at Tennessee. Texas at Tennessee. Why is he going there? Of all the places to go to, why is he going to there? Because he knows that he'll get a hero's welcome in a maggot state.

Okay. But why do they have to turn off the coach's communication because he's leading? For national security. Wait a minute. Are you trying to tell me that the frequencies they're using, the communication of the secret service is being broadcast on the same frequency as the coach's communication

no they're just jamming them so no one can plot against the president inside the team on the same frequency that's all they're doing yeah they're saying they jam everything in the stadium when he's on the move when at least in theory maybe a sniper could squeeze off around or something. But my background's in radio, okay?

Yeah. The government spent a lot of money training me to know a few things about radio. There is absolutely no reason to jam all frequencies when POTUS is moving about. There's just, I mean, the only communication amongst the Secret Service is going to be on one frequency, probably scrambled, where your standard scanner isn't going to be able to pick anything up of any kind of intelligence. So what they're worried about is a spotter on a different frequency, announcing, to a sniper somewhere in the stands that slipped through the metal detectors to get into the stadium to be tipped off about what route the president is taking on some other frequency is ludicrous. Well, here is the clip of Sarcassian.

In the fourth quarter, if he decides to leave early, your communication gets cut off and shuts down. So I'm a good friend of mine is Mario Cristobal. Last year, when they're playing Indiana in the national championship, they had that drive at the end of that game. They had no communications because he was leaving early before the game ended. And so you get no warning. It just cuts out. And so you've got to be prepared for that.

That is definitely something that is unique that could come up in this ballgame. Now, is he maybe trying to drive viewership? I don't think he needs to. I mean, this is going to be a big game. but what's interesting is that Kurt Signetti, coach at Indiana, weighed in on the issue too, saying, Kurt Signetti tells ESPN that the headsets in the national title game went out at around the 645 mark, which included Miami scoring on a fly sweep to Malachi Tony with 637 remaining. We couldn't hear.

Then it came back. It came back before kickoff. We both had communication from that point on. Do you think nitwit Nero would deliberately try to affect the outcome of the game if there was a shit pot of money riding on it? Yes? Of course. 100%. Of course.

This is why we can't have nice things. You know what I mean? I can tell you for a fact. Every year, Mike Pence comes here. to town about half an hour south of Middlebury. There's a lake where he goes to a hunting camp with his, every year, before and after being the vice president. When he was the vice president,

I think to some extent now, because he still has protection, when he lands in a private plane or not, especially when he was vice president, all traffic, air, ground, bound, except for, like, walking in bicycles, comes to a fucking stop until he's out of the area. I was caught on a road one. time near the airport within, you know, 10 miles of his where he was coming, and police

had traffic stopped in every direction until he passed out of the area. So saying that they jam the radio frequencies does not shock me one bit. No, and I have my own story. It was literally January the 20th, 2009. And I was flying to D.C. for a progressive radio row. I was flying out of Beckley, and of course it was a happy day because dim leader was leaving D.C. And my departure was delayed by about 45 minutes, and we had to sit on the tarmac. It was freezing cold in January.

Oh, that was a brutally cold snap. And we had to sit there until dim leaders plane, which was no longer Air Force One by designation, was out of the airspace. Everything was grounded. And so I was late getting to, I was late getting to Dulles. And that created a further night, you know, me schlepping my entire rig. broadcast rig with me everything and getting

on the bus from Dulles because the metro had not been extended to Dulles. He had to take a bus to a stop in Virginia and then get on and then get on the metro and make it on, you know, and I had to make it

to Union Station in D.C. It was a mess. So, yeah, I mean, they do things like that. But it'll be, it'll make, I'll probably be tuning into that game tomorrow evening just to see if he fucks it up. Because, well, he's a fuck-up, and he fucks up everything he gets close to.

But, Steve, I saved that story especially for you, hoping that you would pop by for this Friday on the front porch. Of course I would. Do you know what the spread is tomorrow in that game? I haven't seen, no. okay is Texas still number one I would think Texas would have to be favored yeah

where is Tennessee in terms of where are they in the rankings let's look that up yeah Texas is number one Jesus because of course sorry about the sorry about the crinkling if you can hear the crinkling no you're good Texas is number one Georgia's number two

Notre Dame is number three just for being Notre Dame Tennessee is 14 Yeah Ole Miss 4 Indiana 5 Miami 6 Ohio State 7 Bama 8 BYU 9

LSU is number 10 That maggot billionaire's Texas Tech is 11 Then USC Penn State 14 Tennessee And Tennessee's 3 and O just like Texas is Texas is

Texas is favored 65.5% of 34.5%. I wonder what the spread is. Yeah, I don't know. I have to check Kalshi, I guess. It's Marmalade. Oh, that was a good one. Thank you.

You heard that, you heard that, right, Roxanne? No. I asked what the spread was, and Tristan said it's Marmalade. Oh, okay. I have to ask, what the hell is the spread? The llama is crawl. trusting, Tristan. Thank you.

What the hell is the spread? Okay, the spread is the betting line on who will win and buy how much? Okay. Oh, like by seven or by 20 or... Yeah, so it's Texas given five and a half. Tennessee getting five and a half. so if Texas wins by more than

five and a half points you win your bet and then there's other things like the over under hmm the over under for this game interesting at 54 and a half points I never quite over said the over under can you explain that

sure the bookie sets the the odds maker sets the over under and that is the total the total scoring in the game and if you take the over that means you have to be, in this case, the total scoring has to be more than 54.5 points. If you take the under, it's less than 54.5 points.

By both teams, right? Yeah, it's combined, yeah. Okay. Now you're making me want to bet money. No. No. I think I understand. I think I barely understand, but I think I understand.

Yeah, well, if you think it's going to be a defensive struggle, you take the under. But if you think it's going to be just the defenses stay on the bus, take the over. What do you think that game's going to be? The over-under is where you always get your ass handed to you. Because if, well, like, okay, last week's Mountaineer game, you know, we were dogs. and then the and I don't know what the over

under was but the total was 64 points scored and I would bet that the if you mean bet I would not be surprised if not a lot of people

took whatever the over was because West Virginia just came out and beat the piss out of Virginia. That was fun. Snobs from Mr. Jefferson's University.

Speaking of being a piss out of them, how are how, and I'm, this is a, I'm totally on changing the subject. How are we on fundraising right now? Actually, we are, we're done for the week.

And we met, we met Ralph's finish August and save September challenge. So let's see. Yeah, we were at, I think we're at $235 for Monday. Oh, so we're ahead of the game. Yeah, it would be fantastic if we stayed that way. Wow. When was the last time that happened? Months ago. Yeah, I was going to say.

But good, I'm glad to hear that. Good deal. Good deal, good deal, good deal, good deal. Hey, happy Friday everybody. Hey, Christopher, happy Friday. Hey, Christopher, how are you? Hi, day, fun day. Oh, good, good. Hey, I learned something, and this is for Chiwu. Yeah?

Because I think he's been struggling the last couple weeks trying to get his audio problems to work. Oh, no. Now, yeah, yeah, because he'll join and then we can't hear him. So here's what I did. I opened a browser in private mode. Now you have to log in again, so you either have to have your credentials saved for Discord or type in the password. But that seems to have fixed it because when I first came in and I had a whole bunch of other tabs open,

the audio wasn't working. So I closed the browser, opened one in private window, and now it's working. So hopefully Chi Wu could try that and see if that works for him. okay doesn't there a it seems like if you use the phone the phone always works it seems the phone always works

but it's uh it's easier on the laptop for me okay but doesn't discord have an app you don't need to use a browser for discord you can use yeah i mean i'm i'm on an i'm on an i'm on an i'm on an ipad

and i'm using the discord app i'm working i'm on my work laptop so and they don't allow us to install other proprietary software. Discord, yeah. I could probably, if I made a case for it, and at work, I could probably get one of the techies to load it on my machine.

Maybe. Well, yeah, because I'm pretty sure, like I'm on my laptop now. And the Mac, you know, it's got a Discord, a Discord dedicated application. I don't have anything else open, just Discord. I bet you that would always work too. I just had to be in around the audio source or whatever. I just had to change my output and input to match the hearing aids and my microphone.

And everything seems to be wonderful. Just curious in terms of how different platforms deal with disability issues, Tristan, Is Apple better than, say, Windows, where access is concerned? I would say so, yeah, because the most revealing difference is the fact that every Mac, every iPhone comes with the screen reader already built in voice over. All you got to do is just turn it on right when you get it, and then you're good. But Microsoft does have narrator now, which can help with basic things. Like, I had to use it to install the real screen reader that I have. But it's not a full functioning screen reader like voiceover is.

And I just like Macs better. They're simpler to use. Windows is cool for certain things. One thing I've noticed because, you know, for long and long, I've wanted to move away from Windows products. but in terms of broadcasting things like and I don't mean to sound bitchy when I say this

but you know good God the Apple tax I love iPhones and iPads but when you need the computing power that I need to run this program show they have so cut back on

ports in their in their in their laptops like the new uh the new like the new ultra light macbook laptops yeah it got like one usbc port maybe two yeah you have you have to you have to have a hub in order to uh have multiple ports like that that's what that's what kind of can that's what kind of can think about Mac. And then it becomes an issue of, it would become an issue of finding, uh, uh,

finding an audio interface that would send to, uh, AC's stream server. I think the focus rate works good with the Mac. Um, it's been a while since I've used one. I mean,

hell, I have to use a, a US, uh, well, it's a USBA to lightning adapter. for my microphone right now. I just have it clipped on to the end of the USB cable, so I don't lose it. But Macs are expensive. They're, you know...

Well, that's what I mean by the Apple tax. Yeah, it's just... It's constant. And you've got to get... I mean, garage band will help you with a lot of things. But if you really want, you know... Um, you know, if you're really interested in, you know, setting up soundboards and stuff like that.

Like, you know, logic is probably your best bed. Or, well, if you're really, if you're a real nerd, you can get Pro Tools, but that's like, God, $450 or something. Or a license. Yeah. Oh, God. Pro Tools is good. Lots of musicians use it. Logic is good, too.

If I hadn't found my editing tool that I use for my. videos, I would probably have to use something like that. Thank God I don't. Well, at some point... Yeah, it's not right now, but at some point I'm just thinking about things because

the fab machine, and she's a wonderful machine. God, I can't remember how long ago I built it. She may be coming up on a decade old, and she's always on. but back when we built it it was a super-duper hot-ship processor with a ton of RAM

and it's done everything she's done everything I've ever asked her to do but she can't run Windows 11 and now Windows 10 has been orphaned of course and that's worrisome No more security updates or anything for 10, right? I don't think so, Christopher. Yeah, I think you're right. Yeah. Oh, is it a desktop or a laptop?

Oh, this is a desktop. She's a behemoth. Okay. I see. Gynormous case, fans all over the place, kick-ass video card for the time. And that's the other thing. You know, the prices of desktop,

And we built this. I built this. With FAB contributing the hardware. And it's been great. The late great Peter Godbold taught me to have fun with hardware. And I love the hardware aspect of it. But in the modern era, things like RAM and video cards, have become insanely expensive because, well, what's eating it up?

That's right. AI servers. This thing's got some sort of Nvidia card in it. And whatever it costs then, it would probably cost five times as much now. Do you think this AI deal is going to drive Peter Price is up, generally speaking? It already has, Christopher. It already has. Is he still in town?

Is he still here? I don't know. President G? What happened? Well, we got humiliated yesterday at the big state dinner, so I guess he did what he accomplished, it came to do. But I saw one news story earlier today. Let me see if I still got it in my feed. Did he shove the chocolate cake down, jeez throat?

You love my chocolate cake? They probably gave him ice cream. Asian people are usually... Oh, yeah, they don't like that. They don't like dairy. Lactose intolerant. Yeah. Well, they just find it be disgusting that you would drink something that came out of another animal's teeth.

Yeah, I doubt if I'll be able to read it because it's behind a paywall, but the economist had a headline today. America and China's leaders indulge in pageantry as crises mount. Donald Trump and Xi Jinping squandered a chance to tackle the world's gravest threats. Oh, no, I can read it. Quite possibly both Donald... Well, it's the economist, so I have got to get in... Quite possibly, both Donald Trump and Xi Jinping felt like winners at the end of their meeting in Washington. So it's over.

Each new display of pomp and pageantry, and there were many over the course of the three-day state visit, was crafted to flatter the dignity of the American and Chinese leaders. It was harder to detect substantive achievements from this party between strong men. Really? A strong man, nitwit Nero? He's not even strong enough to control his own bowels. That announced to a dereliction of duty and leaves the rest of humanity as the losers.

The list of urgent global crises and threats is long. Wars in Iran, Sudan, Ukraine and beyond are ending lives and roiling markets for energy and food. Every week brings fresh reports of AI agents breaking free of human trainers to roam digital networks in feral packs. In their respective military headquarters,

the main mission of America and Chinese commanders is to prepare to fight and win a conflict with one another, most probably over Taiwan, the democratic island that China claims to own. In such a moment, the two most powerful men on earth could have talked. They could have explored whether they're, countries are doomed to compete in every sphere, or whether some risks are so severe that America

and China are duty bound to collaborate and address them together. Given the unusual dominance that both men enjoy over their respective political systems, Mr. Trump and Mr. Shee could have agreed on a few concrete world-saving ambitions and tasked aides with delivering on them. Instead, the two leaders put selfish interests first. Mr. Trump likes a grand show with himself at the center, and he got one. Did he? I mean, I trust we have all, I trust by now we've all seen the video of him grimacing as the plane went over because his brain is so far gone that he can't process a noise like that and it creates a sense of horror as he ducked his head from his own aircraft flyover. Wow.

Jesus. You know, you know, you said that Donnie is. not a strong man right you know who does have super strength and Natalie the diaper diaper heroes yeah who hasn't figured out

that wheeled luggage exists right yeah Natalie the diaper hero I mean to lift those heavy loads like times a day wait a minute

I see what you did there heavy loads oh and by the way this is This is fun. Even as Xi Jinping was here, the Chinese have acquired a shipment of F-35 parts that was mistakenly rooted through Hong Kong, according to Bloomberg News.

The shipment now in Chinese government hands includes a cockpit canopy and a weapons bay door. What the fuck? Wait, we're ordering F-35 parts on Amazon and somehow it gets rooted through Hong Kong? I mean, okay, back in the day I ordered, I ordered some pretty trashy dresses from Wish, okay? And it would arrive with the bill of lading on the outside with all kinds of Chinese script on it. And okay, sure, but F-35 parts!

Remember, this is the same military that is contrast. attracting missile development to fucking companies that are printing parts out of 3D printers. If you want another laugh, I saw the other day a mischievous PC game programmer has made a game. I forget what it's called, but you're basically a giant Macamore, the rapper. And in the game, your goal is to stomp all the little red-headed edge shirons on the map. And for bonus points, there's a couple of Robert Kraft's hiding you have to get to. You nearly win when they're all killed. Oh, that's funny.

I'm going to play that. Oh, and by the way, on the way out the door, just worth mentioning, the Senate held a vote on a war powers resolution. It failed 49 to 50. I think four Republicans joined the Democrats. But, of course, Kirsten Mansion of Pennsylvania voted with the maggots because, of course, he did. Well, even if he didn't, J.D. would break the tide. Well, I mean, sure, but the thing is, at the same time that was happening, people like John Hustead, you know, Horton here's a Hustead, in Ohio.

was saying, oh, the war in Iran, the war with Iran needs to end. It really does. We got a, we got a, we got a good gas prices down. Well, will you vote to end the war? No, I won't do that. Daddy would spank me. Profiles in courage. How did Moscow stare at Mars Mitch vote?

Did he vote? I don't know. It was 50 to 49, so maybe. Maybe he was the missing one. No, I think he was there. Maybe he gave, I don't know what he's, he's walking around giving the Winston Churchill victory sign. I did, whatever. It's like frozen.

His victory sign is frozen in his fingers like that smile on his face. Yeah. It's like a big cramp. He's a big cramp in his fingers. Yeah. Dear God. He's there, but he ain't there. Yeah.

Yeah. That grim reaper. As real, the Grim Reaper second class is not going to get his scythe anytime soon, his sickle. Nope. Every time an anvil falls, a new Grim Reaper gets his sickle. He's speaking of the Anvil falling. When is that Wiley Coyote movie coming out? It's out.

I've already seen it. Oh, it's already out. Oh, it was good? Yeah, it was. It was. Well, you know, you know. You know, the only other movie you can really compare it to might be something like Who Framed Roger Rabbit, whereas that's a detective, that's a detective story. This is more like a courtroom procedural with Will Forte playing a lawyer.

And it couldn't have been an easy acting job because, you know, the coyote never speaks. Yeah. He just holds up signs. Right. It was good. And it, well, if. had a message. No spoilers since you haven't seen it, but it's worth big screen money.

Okay. Cool. I want to go see that Brad Pitt movie with the dog? Yeah. I know that's going to tear me apart. I know bring your Kleenex probably. Yeah, Victoria finally got me to watch the John Wick movies, and the first John Wick movie just went through me. Yeah, because of the...

Yeah. Because of the dog. I got bored before I went to bed Monday and I couldn't think of anything to watch so I re-watched the James Gunn the Superman and I forgot how much Crypto steals that fucking movie and he is amazing in Supergirl too Supergirl is good, don't listen to the critics

it's amazing I love Supergirl Crypto steals both those movies he is adorable I love him Yeah and by the way There's a Supergirl Barbie out and I want one. Never got Barbies as a kid. I'm just catching up.

I would never remove it from the box, though, because I'm a nerd. Yeah, I enjoyed Supergirl. And like I mentioned a couple of nights ago, the new horror movie based on the video games. Oh, what is it? Why is that? You mentioned Resident Evil, right? Yeah, Resident Evil is getting here.

huge reviews. Not just as a good video game movie, and not just as a good great horror movie, but as a great movie, which is a real shame for me, because I love great film, and I ain't going to no horror movie. It's a...

You and Michelle both. She can't handle horror movies at all. I don't, I mean, give me suspense, thrillers, I'm okay. Alfred Hitchcock, I'm fine. You know, old cheesy black and white. Yeah, sure. no problem

but rock and sauce going down the shower drain you're fine with that yeah that's okay that's suspense but

and it may be you know I had bad dreams from scary movies as a child and then when I grew up and went to work at CNN

you know we had we had raw unedited footage coming down from the bird and I saw real world horrors that would put anything that a master of the craft director could put on film to shame.

I live through this administration. All right has got nothing. Yeah. Yeah, now we've all got 11 years of Donny under our belt. So nothing really can. We've got a pretty hard tortoise shell now. But I have a feeling if we saw unedited footage. of what went down when Iran

hammered the shit out of our military bases. Again, that's the real horror. Or God knows those poor souls digging those little girls out of that school in Tehran that we deliberately targeted. Deliberately. Well, triple tapped, really. It was a double tap, yeah.

That was the work of AI. Yeah. It's only supposed to work 60% of the time in good weather, and it goes down to 30% in bad weather. Those are numbers that we should all aspire to have, aren't they? Chris wasn't wrong. It actually was technically a triple-tap. It was twice on the school, once for the girls, once for responders, and I also struck a sports complex right nearby.

Oh, that's right. That's right. That's right. Well, let's, we'll wrap things up. A reminder, the back porch will continue after the front porch goes off air. But I thought we'd close. I do love it when maggot senators get hammered. And out in Kansas, Adam Hamilton, the United Methodist minister, is making Dr. Roger Marshall's life a living hell by pointing out what a genuinely shitty human beings. being he is.

And this is just brutal. It's being described as a killer ad by a couple of different people. It's it just completely

destroys everything that Roger Marshall has said he is. I'm Adam Hamilton and I approve this message. One evening I see lights. I open the door and it's a police officer. They arrested me because I didn't make a $50 payment to Roger Marshall.

I was eight months pregnant, and I said, please, do not handcuff me in front of my two-year-old daughter. Roger Marshall prayed on the low-income families of Kansas. The health care system is broken, but not for Roger Marshall. He's absolutely profiting from it. Damn. And it's all verified. It's all true. Are you kidding? I heard there was a lot of women like that, yeah?

He's put over, I think, over 80 women in jail. Yeah. Over civil medical debt, Steve. 50 bucks here, 50 bucks there, right? It's debtor prison. It's literally a debtor prison. Yes, yes. How does he do that, though?

What law does he use to... Kansas lets you do that. Many states do. You can be arrested for an unpaid civil judgment in Alabama. Jesus. In Mississippi, Stan. Fucking Dickensian. Bullshit.

And you know what it is? You know what it is? It's fucking this goddamn Christian. This goddamn Christian Calvinism bullshit is what it is. Right. And everyone knows here that I'm a Christian. and oh my god this just it's just it's just it's just disgusting this is it's just it's fucking disgusting did i say it's disgusting i'm going to say it's fucking disgusting it's fucking disgusting

and well it gets worse steve because uh he built his image on well um i'm dr roger and i'm per he's a gynecologist i'm providing gynecological and obstetric care uh to pour rural women in Kansas. They've been putting them in jail. What's next? Is he going to dig a pit in his basement with a basket? It puts its lotion on its skin. No, it pays me the money it owes or else it

gets arrested again. And just because we've been doing this all week, let's check in with another farmer another maggot farmer who fucked around and found out shall we he met the leopard huh yeah yep yep they're gobbling up his farm so when did farmers become villains and why is that the case i had a doctor's appointment the other day in our nearest big city that's lafia about

40 minutes away and i was talking to the nurse and we were making small talks she was asking where we're from and how many kids we have and the second that i told her i was a farmer The conversation shifted completely. Her mood shifted completely. And then she started asking questions about farming. And it started gentle, how many acres? That's always the first question. What crops?

Do you have any livestock? And then she said, I've been reading a lot about how farmers are ruining the soil and that we're not going to have any soil left in 50 years. What do you think about that? And I said, I don't know. Guess I hadn't heard anything about it. I wasn't going to entertain the conversation at all. And so then we went back to something else.

and then a little bit later, she said, what do you think about the GMOs? I read all this and hear all this about farmers using GMOs in our food and it's poisoning our food system. What do you think about that? And I said, I don't know what a GMO is. I don't know. I wasn't going to entertain the conversation.

Again, there's a narrative out there that farmers are villains and what we're doing is just poisoning our entire food system. Well, Cletus, those GMOs are genetically modified organisms and if you're using Roundup to sterilize your field and then using Roundup Ready Corn Seed by Vonsanto or Bayer, I guess now, you are, you're participating in the destruction of the food system. Roger could say more on that. I really don't understand why that narrative is out there.

It's the people that are uneducated that read from the news or from Twitter or from Facebook these infactual things and they always paint farmers to be villains and I don't know why that is or when Steve did you notice those infactual things I was just going to say what is an infactual thing you may tell you what and go you know what and fuck this guy fuck this goddamn guy who

Roxanne I am so sick of this shit I'm just sick of people who who who who do shit and fuck things up up and then when people and when people say to them, hey, why are you fucking things up? They put their, they throw their hands up like, gee, I don't know, what are you talking about? I don't have any idea what you're talking about. I'm so sick of this shit. And it looks like he's wearing some sort of t-shirt with some corporate logo on it that,

I don't know, is it some fertilizer or something? I don't know. And that started, but I don't get it. It seems like you go back a generation or two or certainly three. The farmers were heroes in what they did. did. They were so hard working and they supplied the food and everything. And now it's like farmers are ruining our ecosystem,

poisoning our food system. Why is that? When did that shift happen and why did that happen? And why are the uneducated? Here's why it happened. Because you actually are poisoning our fucking system. Well, yeah, I mean, Roundup Ready Corn.

Yes, anybody? Please. A long time ago, back early in the century, a great author named Michael Pollan explained that the primary contents of the American diet were number two field grade corn and diesel fuel.

But, you know, back when Willie Nelson and John Mellon camp were putting on farmade to try to save family farms, you know, the heartland and, you know, the soul of America feeding the world, yada, yada, yada. And then, well, because, you know, he's complaining about people reading newspapers. Well, this motherfucker just listened to Rush Limbaugh

and his air-conditioned John Deere Tractor or what the fuck ever. And decided, as Bruce, I've mentioned him a couple of times this week, gone but not forgotten. As we toddled around Wisconsin, he'd pointed these farms that had Republican candidate signs. And he said, yeah, these goddamn dumbass Wisconsin farmers think that they got a little bit of change in their population. and that qualifies them as Republicans, and they don't understand that they're going to get fucked first. And here we are.

Did you vote for Trump, dumbass, Cleetus? Did you vote for Trump? Or did you just maybe not vote at all? Did you just wait for those sweet, sweet government checks to come in so that you could plant your next crop next year? But, yeah, it's... He doesn't know shit from Shinola, but it's everybody. else that's dumb. Sorry about that.

No, you're 100% right. Honestly, I'm doubting the veracity of his story. It sounds way too convenient for him. Well, I haven't heard anybody really villainizing that way. What they're being villainized for is voting for the man who

fucked them and not being able and not being willing to look up and say, listen, I got fooled, I got screwed, I got lied to, and I'm not going to do it again, and I'm going to vote for whoever the Democrats put up in my district and in my state, and for president. I mean, here's another one out of Idaho. Remember, Idaho, where if you're trans and you go to the bathroom, you can be put in prison on a goddamn felony.

Well, in Wilder Idaho, they went 72, 22, 20,000. for Trump in 2024. And here's a news story. A raid in a small town brings Trump's deportations to Deep Red Idaho. Wilder, Idaho prided itself on comedy. Don't see that word used a lot anymore. Then federal agents stormed a racetrack outside of a town in October, and the reverberations are still shaking the community.

We rely on Hispanic labor, said Chris Gross, a second-generation farmer who grows sweet corn, seed and mint in Wilder. She said, she added, nobody thought something like this could happen here. Yeah, it won't happen to us. We're white. Right? Mm-hmm.

So the question is, will you learn? And you remember when Joe Biden wanted to pay off student loans? And the Republicans said, God damn it, I paid off my student loans. Why did somebody else get their loans paid off money? That's unfair. Headline.

Life was falling. Headline, Trump administration announces $12 billion in one-time payment for farmers. That was back in December 2025. Where was the outrage then? Somebody said, the irony of farmers right now, not understanding the term, reap what you sow, is just crazy. Ouch. Yeah.

These sick people, man. Just... Oh, speaking of Roger Marshall's Kansas, here's another headline. uh from reuters republicans recoil at ice raids on kansas beef processors cattle industry groups in texas oklahoma and kansas and two republican senators said the trump administration's actions were hurting operations hurting not hurting yeah but it my goodness gracious uh i've run over uh and i know that because i just heard the golden one um bark that he had clocked me out he's a very good boy

and so that's it for the week again y'all have fun on the back porch thanks everybody thanks to each and every one of you who share your precious finite time engaging in the program in whatever manner you choose thanks to our challenge makers and challenge respondents

thank you kind anonymous friend and and Ralphs for the challenge this evening. Thank you. Thank you, Charlie, at APS Radio News. We're actually ahead. Like I said, we're actually ahead going into Monday. So if you'd like to help keep it that way and make sure that we finish as close to fully funded as we can get for the month of September, that would be awesome.

Careful about the beef you buy. Goodness. And, well, you never know what new disease is coming down the pike. And if Brandon Herrera comes towards you saying, Oh, you know, COVID didn't kill enough fat people. Well, avoid him like the plague because he is.
