Starting point is 00:00:03 The password is slippage. It's showtime. Here we go, live from behind the corn phone curtain. It's head-on with Roxanne Kincaid. Three hours of cussin and discussin with America's only liberal transvillity elitist right here, right now,
Starting point is 00:00:39 on the head-on radio network. Brought to you in part by Cole River Mountain Watch, who invites you to be part of the uprising against mountaintop removals. CRMW.net. And now, from high in the hills of West by God, Virginia, here she is. Roxanne Kincaid. Well, howdy.
Starting point is 00:01:15 And here we go, off and running on this 28th day of April, 2006. This is the horn. Head on. Live is where you'll find us on the interweb tubes. That's where you go. If you'd like to be part of the Merry Wacky Zany, Real Time, Madcap, Multimedia, extravaganza. that is the horn chat room in the old holler tree that's easily accessed on the chat room page at headon. Live, yes, indeed.
Starting point is 00:01:42 And if you, well, if we're listening to the podcast, well, thank you very kindly for sharing your time with us this little community that way. Please make sure you liked and you've subscribed and all that. and give us a comment or remark or review wherever you download the podcast. It really does help, especially when you begin interacting with other people who are leaving comments. It gets us a little bit more notice. By the way, somewhere, oh, in the next year or so, it's no big deal for the, you know, people like Joe Rogain, who are jacking off and just asking questions. But we're going to pass our millionth download on Podbean, and Podbean,
Starting point is 00:02:26 I've only been doing pod bean. I mean, it's been several years now, but it's certainly not the entirety of the program. But we'll pass our millionth download on Podbean sometime in the coming year. And that'll be a big deal. And we'll get there faster when you leave comments and interact and that kind of thing. And, you know, maybe make new friends, which would be flipping awesome. Yeah. Hi, I'm Roxanne.
Starting point is 00:02:54 and if you're listening live, well, like I said, the aforementioned Mary Wacky Zaney is around over there for you. Pop by, you'll be welcomed by the early arrivers. And, well, don't be shy about,
Starting point is 00:03:09 just because it's a new chat room, don't be shy about joining in and using it. It's quite user-friendly. And, well, the more the merrier, basically. But,
Starting point is 00:03:27 Every program here at the horn begins with gratitude, and this program is no different. So thanks go out to those of you who have contributed or subscribed as of the 28th day of the month. And that means thank you ever so kindly to Charlie. Thanks, Charlie. And thank you to Sharon. Thank you, Sharon. And thank you to Charlene in Rokes Island. and to Mark, thank you, and to Sumon.
Starting point is 00:04:02 Thanks everybody for helping to keep this little independent broadcasting effort afloat and on the air. Now, I would be lying if I said that it's a little bit nerve-wracking right now simply because, well, the funding deficit, the funding deficit for April is terrifying. It is $447.45, $4,457.45. That means we are $1,457.457 away from being fully funded for the first half of April, up through April 15th. This is the 28th. That was 13 days ago.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Cyphering on the fly. Look at me. Anything we can do to bring that number down makes it more likely. Because, you know, this program has existed literally on a shoestring from month to month to month to month. Over, well, we're in our 23rd year. And this is as hard as our existence has ever been. So if you haven't ticked in in a while or if you're new to the program, this community makes the program
Starting point is 00:05:26 I mean nothing nothing is for sale here we have never sold anything we have never charged for access to the program in any form whatsoever we're running counter to the trend this is
Starting point is 00:05:43 one does not have to pay for access to the program or to be heard on it either in e-mail or message form or even phone calls. So that makes this program extremely special. I thought I'd get us started today with the arrival of King Chuck at the White House in what can only be described as an ill-advised visit by the British vass.
Starting point is 00:06:23 monarch. Chuckles the third. If you can't tell, I have no real regard for any monarchies. I'm decidedly. Well, the idea of royal blood just disgusts me.
Starting point is 00:06:42 But before we jump in, Lee in New York says, bad pun warning. My, how your pod bean downloads have grown. I warned you. Yeah. And, well, the poor little llama, Rama the Lama, just started rolling in the grass, trying to just get that bad pun out of her poor little llama brain. And, you know, I think, I was watching, this is apropos, nothing, but I was watching a documentary.
Starting point is 00:07:25 series on the people we call Inca. That was not what they called themselves. And I noticed that the grave goods for a little Inca mummy-mified Inca boy included tiny little llamas for him to take into the afterlife. And you know what? Those little tiny silver llamas wore a striking resemblance to Rama the llama, who I'm holding and looking at even now. She's a sweet little llama, Rama is, but it's kind of a connection to the past.
Starting point is 00:08:15 She's right here for every program, and she really, really does not appreciate terrible puns. Ah, well, thank you, Jeremy, for getting us started. I guess you thought I was getting a little too comfortable with those 45 cents. So here we are, down to $4,400, $52.28. Yeah, that's right. That's right. Pick on your humble hostess, Jeremy, as we struggle to pay all the bills for the month of April.
Starting point is 00:09:16 But there we are, yep, 44, 5228. And hopefully that's the beginning of something. Hopefully you got something started there, Jeremy. But as I said, I thought we would start the program with King Chuck. arrival in D.C. at the White House, where nitwit Nero was a hot mess. Mm-hmm. Yeah. And there was a formal welcome ceremony for him outside before he was scheduled to speak to a...
Starting point is 00:10:02 Okay, the stoners can giggle. Joint session of Congress. and the password was slippage because it would seem that his dentures are not fitting too well these days grandpa groper and the speech itself was terrible I guess he had more things on his mind than the British monarch and you know things like Jimmy Kimmel we'll get to that in a minute but yeah I Here he is in all of his slippage. In a few hours, his majesty will stand in the heart of the United States Capitol as the very first British king ever to address a joint session. Addressed.
Starting point is 00:11:07 Yeah, he stumbled over the word address. of the United States Congress so he's going to be addressing Congress that I'm going to be watching I was thinking of going but they said I don't know that might be a step too far I would love to go
Starting point is 00:11:26 yeah dumbass you don't go unless you're invited you know protocols and whatnot it's not supposed to be protocol but I would love to be with you well you know there was another time when he promised that he too he would go to congress it was january the six
Starting point is 00:11:43 twenty twenty one and his frothing at the mouth proud boys and free percenters and oafkeepers and various and sundry Nazis and skinheads and whatnot many of whom were armed you can get rid of the magnetologists they don't want to hurt me
Starting point is 00:11:59 Jesus crudely I'll be right there I'm going to get my walking shoes on and I'll be right there I'm going to I'll be right there with you I'm going to the capital. We'll hang Mike Pence. Adrist. Yeah, a drist.
Starting point is 00:12:21 And his speechifying didn't go over particularly well, people calling it a mess. And, of course, he's tacky and classless. And on the White House lawn, he did the same thing he did to chuckles his mama. he barged on ahead of him as Chuckles was trying to shake hands with people like
Starting point is 00:12:56 and you know Jimmy Dick Bowman or whatever they're calling themselves these days you were shaking hands with little Marco Rubio I'm sure you had to kind of stoop to do that there's two
Starting point is 00:13:16 years separating King Chuck from nitwit Nero but you wouldn't know it to look at them because well Chuckles looks healthy and at one point in time
Starting point is 00:13:39 the King of Mary Oldie England stuck his hand out to shake hands with somebody else and nitwit Niro cut him off and just sort of left the King of England standing there looking sort of what
Starting point is 00:14:01 bemused it's it was a thing to behold but by saying a thing to behold doesn't mean that it was a good thing to behold and melanoma was there
Starting point is 00:14:26 in a sort of cream-colored suit wearing another one of those hats that made her look either like a flamenco dancer or a, well, a freestanding lamp. Jesus, the embarrassment. Oh, the embarrassment. And then, of course, there was the address to Congress. And, well, apparently he offered up some rather, well, indirect commentary called Netwitner.
Starting point is 00:15:15 house. Oh, thank you. Thank you so much. Kind anonymous friend. Round numbers cause less headaches. Amen.
Starting point is 00:15:32 So, well, here we are at 4427. $4,4,427 even. Thank you so much. for helping your umbeloastus that way. Now, they did some analysis over to CNN.
Starting point is 00:16:15 I enjoy it. I don't know how much longer CNN is going to even exist, you know, once Larry Ellison and his sleazy nepo son finalized getting their hands on it. But CNN heard, the panel at CNN heard things, that maybe everybody else might not have. David Chalien, the senior vice president, Washington Bureau Chief, and political director for CNN in particular,
Starting point is 00:16:42 offering his commentary. A response, rather, to the address by King Charles III in a joint meeting. There he is, greeting he and his wife, the queen, greeting the chairman and members of the joint chiefs of staff, as well as members of the U.S. Supreme Court. there he is saying hello to former Justice Stephen Breyer. A very rousing speech. No booze.
Starting point is 00:17:08 No booze, as opposed to other speeches we hear in that chamber sometime by Americans. Let us get some reaction. David Chalien, there were some items in that speech that I think it's fair to say were included that, you know, I wouldn't call them zingers against President Trump, but points of disagreement. and did not hide from them at all. I mean, I think a speech that was putting democratic values, the rule of law, the power of alliances, even a specific on the support of Ukraine's defense, these stand in complete opposition. And in fact, some of them are the very things that Donald Trump sort of rails against when he's...
Starting point is 00:17:53 Yeah, and it's all lost on nitwit Nero, because there's nothing. nothing left upstairs there. King Charles could have made a reference to him being a sexual predator and a pedophile and a rapist. Wouldn't have landed. Complaining about Europe or the UK specifically. Now, King Charles doesn't come in here itching for a fight on it. He comes in with his position to be above it a bit and in his, you know, very British, stiff upper lip kind of way. It's not that he was trying to get in that's fight with President Trump, but he couldn't have seized the opportunity more to really stand clear on the importance of these things with a value system underneath it that is in contrast to a lot of what Donald Trump has been presenting on the world stage as it comes to these alliances. Jamie?
Starting point is 00:18:49 Yeah. So to your point about booze, I may have lost count, but I think six or seven standing ovations, including. I thought she was going to say somebody in the audience was loaded. to your point about booze. A very long one. It's been a long time since I think in that chamber we have seen this kind of enthusiasm. Just to add to what David said
Starting point is 00:19:15 about something that, you know, President Trump doesn't like to talk about a lot, King Charles talked a lot about the environment and nature. And he said from the depths of the Atlantic, So he was talking about NATO, but he even worked in the words to the disastrously melting ice caps of the Arctic. And he brought it back over and over again. The other things that I would say is just on a lighter note, he was absolutely charming throughout the whole thing. He talked about his five-times great-grandfather, King.
Starting point is 00:20:00 George, he talked about the mad king. Just to be precise about which king we're talking about. You know Jake, have a little class. No, George III you know, the one who lost
Starting point is 00:20:17 the colonies, who? But sire, these are carpet tax. Well, they're tea tax now. Oh, oh! Oh! Oh! Ha! Ha! Ha! Or maybe by referring to the mad king, well, okay.
Starting point is 00:20:36 And about, he said, I'm not part of some rear guard action. 250 years later, after we beat the Brits, yes, making sure we don't think he's a sleeper cell. Oh, my God, they're so droll there on the CNN set, aren't they? Yeah, that's there. We beat the Brits. Right, Jake. You know, we... With the French in our pockets.
Starting point is 00:21:14 Oh, by the way, thank you, Lee. Serving as the Horn Ad Hococonauts who have addressed the Congress Department. December 18th, 1874. King Kalakua. I don't know. King of Hawaii. April 3rd, 1952.
Starting point is 00:21:34 Queen Juliana of the Netherlands. the 12th, 1959, uh, King Baduin, the king of Belgium, uh, April 28th,
Starting point is 00:21:45 1960, King Mahendra of the kingdom of Nepal. June 29th, 1960, King Bohemibo Adelijed Adelidj. Kingdom of Thailand.
Starting point is 00:22:00 It's tough. Um, June 2nd, 1976, King Juan Carlos I of Spain, April 21st, 1982, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, May 16th, 1991. Oh, there she has her better own self, mother of King Charles, is Queen Elizabeth I. Then King Hussein of Jordan in July 26th of 1994, and then March 27th of 2007, King Abdullah, the 2nd,
Starting point is 00:22:36 bin al-Husain of the Hashemite kingdom of Jordan. What sort of robes is he wearing, my son? He's wearing the robes of the Hashemite Benisalim. Is he Benisalem? No, father, he is English. Very good son. Yeah, Lawrence of Arabia. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:23:11 By all that signed, Lee, senior researcher in New York City. Thank you, Lee. And from Stephen New York, gee, I can't understand why I don't take Jake Tapper seriously. Yeah, I know. Tis a puzzlement. Right?
Starting point is 00:23:37 Yeah. Lee in New York says, did someone say booze? Asked by Patel, hegsus, and that woman collecting bottles at the White House Correspondents Association dinner. Yeah, it's going to be one embarrassment after. And meanwhile, you know, the loyal subjects of his royal highness over in the Scepred realm on turf island.
Starting point is 00:24:04 I'm sure, I'm sure they've just about cringed themselves into the, into the channel. Well, who is it, the Labor Party? or liberal Democrats. The head of the liberal Democrats in Parliament. I told you! I told you he should have, the Prime Minister should have told him not to go.
Starting point is 00:24:34 He should have forbidden it, which of course Keir Starmor could have done. But when the, one thing worth noting, when whoever that commentator was on CNN said that he talked about the tragically melting Arctic ice ice. caps. That was a response to something Nittwit Nero had said. What, a week? Two weeks ago?
Starting point is 00:24:58 Well, if I was going to tell them what they needed to do in the UK, I'd tell them to get rid of those goddamn windmills and open up drilling in the North Sea. Yeah, because, you know, the planet's not hot enough yet. We haven't made it too hot for human beings to live yet. Ah, yeah. Carpet tax asks Leah in New York. York getting the joke.
Starting point is 00:25:27 Do you want Clyde to fail American history? You might grab it. You might. From Yankee doodle bugs. And little Clyde studying for his American history exam. Exactly. I'm so glad that we've got some hardcore Warner Brothers fans out there in the Horn family community congregation.
Starting point is 00:25:56 And, well, we've got a lot of places. to go. We got the James Comey news, monumentally stupid. Not James Comey, but the DOJ. Because Todd Blanchie is going to do what Daddy wants.
Starting point is 00:26:17 Well, this one ought to get bounced out pretty damn quick, too. Yeah, the indictment of James Comey this time, having previously had the other indictment thrown out with prejudice well this time they came back and decided to
Starting point is 00:26:49 indict and by the way this is under wine box Janine Piro's jurisdiction in D.C. Stephen New York noting to me yesterday evening late when we were talking about the trial of the White House Correspondents Association dinner, well, Cole Thomas, Steve sent me a very simple statement.
Starting point is 00:27:26 Think about this. Janine Piro is the U.S. attorney handling the case. Why do I think she'll screw it up? I don't think you think she'll screw it up, Steve. I don't think you even believe she'll screw it up. I think you know she'll screw it up. because she's a, you know, perpetual screw-up. So over at CNN, Caitlin Palance, got hold of the indictment
Starting point is 00:27:52 and read it on air earlier this afternoon. It doesn't take a lot of time to read this indictment, no. You know, related to that social media post, that would be a completely different thing than a perjury, or false statement obstruction of Congress charge that Comey faced in the Eastern District of Virginia. Casey, the one thing I will say, though, is that you're very likely to see, as this case moves forward, some of the same arguments Comey was making in that previous indictment where he won the dismissal. In this case, one of the things that had been on the table in the Eastern District of Virginia last year
Starting point is 00:28:35 and was never ruled on by the judge was Comey's argument that Donald Trump, liked him so much that he was singled out for indictment unfairly, that it was unconstitutional, and that he was being pursued for his First Amendment free speech rights. That's the sort of thing that is very possible to come from his attorneys. But I've checked a couple times today. There's nothing that they have to say yet, and we're still waiting to even see if Comey personally has been informed of this case against him. Casey? All right. Caitlin Polance, Kristen Holmes, thank you both very much for being here. My panel is here in the arena. National Affairs correspondent Jeff Zellini, co-host of the interview podcast from New York Times,
Starting point is 00:29:14 CNN contributor Lulu Garcia Navarro, former DNC Communications Director, CNN Political Commentator, Sochi Junoosa, and former DHS spokesperson and a former senior advisor to Vivek Ramoswami's presidential campaign. Tricia McLaughlin is here in the arena, and we're also joined our former U.S. Attorney, Michael. Thank you all very much for being here as we cover this breaking news. And Michael, let me just start with you to kind of pick up where we left off there with K. Lynn. Can you, kind of help us understand what the dynamics might be at play here? And I think it's worth just noting that, you know, the president back in September of last year, specifically called for people to be prosecuted, called on Pam Bondi, the then attorney general.
Starting point is 00:30:00 And he said, what about Comey, Adam Schifty Schiff, Letitia, and called them all guilty as hell? Yeah, well, I'm glad to be with you. This is one of the most ridiculous things. things I've seen out of the Department of Justice in a long time. This is not prosecution. This is simply Todd Blanche pandering to a jury of one, and that is Donald Trump. I mean, if you, if you want to see a job interview in action, just look at this indictment, because this is complete nonsense. I mean, frankly, the case and the charges that have been brought, if in fact, they are simply dealing with seashells, will wash away pretty quick. I think the judge will look at it as an issue of First Amendment rights, protect the...
Starting point is 00:30:41 speech, not to mention the fact that there's just simply no intent that he intended for any message of harm, physical harm, to come to Trump. I mean, he simply uses a code number for something to be removed, which can be voting out of office. And I was sort of encouraged to hear that you had a judge who had some experience and tenure coming from a George Bush appointment. And I think that we'll make pretty much pretty short work of this. There will be a very short work of this. great arguments as it relates from the defense to selective prosecution, vindictive prosecution, targeted prosecution that were made in the prior case. Okay. I do want to go back to Caitlin Polance because she's got some breaking news, some new information about what these charges
Starting point is 00:31:27 actually are. Caitlin? Casey, our team of reporters here, Justice Beat, have secured a copy of the indictment. It is short. It is three pages long. It's approved by a grand jury. It's signed by a prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia, or of North Carolina. And there are two counts against James County, both relating to that Instagram post depicting seashells arranged in a pattern to spell out 8-6-4-7. The two counts. One is threatening the president. That's the first one.
Starting point is 00:31:59 And the second one is a threat of interstate communication. So transmitting something across state lines that could be perceived as a threat. And, you know, just as we noted with Nitwit Niro's remarks regarding Cole Allen, he opened himself to being called as a witness. Well, in this case, they're saying this is a threat against the president, but it was perceived as a threat against the president. Oh, my God, please. I mean, it's not that I'm a call me fan girl,
Starting point is 00:32:45 but please take this to trial. Please. And put Nitwit Niro on the stand and cross-examine him, and the minute he opens a door, walk through it. Oh, so you thought that that meant that James Comey wanted you killed?
Starting point is 00:33:08 That's what 86 means. We can have expert testimony on the meaning of 86 in common American English. And Nittweb Nero will look like the idiot that he is. Oh, again, for all the times that we have played the clip here, this will be Captain Quig on the stand in the Cain Mutiny. And he'll do, Trump will do one of two things, or maybe both.
Starting point is 00:33:43 You know, Terry's clothes off and start playing with himself in the courtroom. Or start talking about the strawberries and the spare key and where, Where did the seashells come from? Yeah, yeah. Those were definitely anti-fossed seashells. Everyone knows it. Oh, please. This is so dumb as to arguably require,
Starting point is 00:34:14 I think it would probably support a bar complaint against that line prosecutor in North Carolina Stan. and against Todd Blanchie. And anybody else involved with this. The federal rules of professional conduct have an entirely separate section for prosecutors. And everyone associated this with this has just trashed a whole bunch of those rules. Jesus. Back to King Chuck, though, for just a minute, because this is.
Starting point is 00:35:01 This is too precious not, too. Thank you, Kim. Behold, a royal visit. Presenting his most royal majesty, the king. Of Nottingham, in gratitude for your faithful servers, I shall knight thee. Your most gracious majesty. In the name of my most royal majesty, I knight thee. Rise, sir, Lord.
Starting point is 00:35:56 loin of beef. Arise, Earl of Clothes. Arise, Duke of Brittingham. Arise, Baron of Munchalzen. Arise, essence of mere, magnesium, quarter of ten. You are too kind. Got lots of stamina. London Bridge is falling down. Falling down, falling around. London Bridge is falling out. London Bridge is falling down And smack dab
Starting point is 00:36:36 Into the cake You know, bugs Bakes faster in that Than some of these cooking reels that I watch Online Thank you Kim Thank you Quothel of 10
Starting point is 00:36:55 That's the one that can Earl of cloves and quarter of 10 Just slays me Oh God, that's so good And so representative of how stupid this timeline is What else? Okay, let's go ahead and do this. You know, yesterday we talked about
Starting point is 00:37:29 Melanoma's war on Jimmy Kimmel. Well, today, they sicked, Brendan Carr, that pathetic little licks-spiddle, toe-sucking functionary on ABC, the FCC announcing they would review the licenses of ABC affiliates that are actually owned by ABC, you know, not the ones owned by Sinclair and whatnot. No, no, not that.
Starting point is 00:38:05 But in his monologue, Jimmy Kimmel addressed, you know, the demand by melanoma and her orange dementia patient spouse. Yeah. Sometimes you wake up in the morning and the first lady puts out a statement demanding you be fired from your job. We've all been there, right? You've been there, right, Guillermo? Yeah, sure. What a day.
Starting point is 00:39:00 As you know, they had to cancel the White House correspondent's dinner in Washington on Saturday night after a man with multiple guns and knives crashed the party and may have shot a Secret Service officer. Fortunately, the guy was wearing a bulletproof vest and is okay. They're not sure exactly what happened, but they got the guy. He was charged today. No one was hurt, thank goodness. A lot of people were shaken up on a night that is supposed to be lighthearted.
Starting point is 00:39:27 The White House correspondent's dinner, if you don't know, It used to be an annual event before Trump showed up, but every year they'd have a comedian roast the room, the president, the vice president members of the press, everybody got roast. I did it once. I hosted it. It was a lot of fun. But this year, they said, no comedian, we're bringing in a mentalist instead. So on Thursday, three days before the event, in order to keep that cherished tradition alive, I did my own version of the correspondence dinner on my show. I put on. Stand by. About that mentalist. Oz Perlman?
Starting point is 00:40:02 Is this your cord? Is he about to be relegated to the Ted Nugent and Kid Rock circuit? Will anybody ever hire him anywhere else ever again? Is this your job? On a tuxedo, we pretended we had, an audience of luminaries. We used old footage of the Trumps of Pete Heggseth, J.D. Vance, Kid Rock, Vanilla Ice, all the members of his cabinet. And we made it seem like they were all together in a room.
Starting point is 00:40:39 We had a little roast. Again, this was Thursday, and there was no big reaction to it until this morning when I greeted the day facing yet another Twitter vomit storm. And a call to fire me from our first lady, Melania Trump, saying I should be fired. Because of a joke I made, again, five nights ago, it was a pretend roast. I said, our first lady, Melania is here. Look at her so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you'll have a glow like an expectant widow, which obviously was a joke about their age difference and the look of joy. We see on her face every time they're together.
Starting point is 00:41:18 It was a very light roast joke about the fact that he's almost 80 and she's younger than I am. It was not by any stretch of the definition a call to assassination. and they know that. I've been very vocal for many years speaking out against gun violence in particular, but I understand that the First Lady had a stressful experience over the weekend, and probably every weekend, is pretty stressful in that house.
Starting point is 00:41:41 And also, I agree that hateful and violent rhetoric is something we should reject. I do, and I think a great place to start to dial that back would be to have a conversation with your husband about it, because I also should point out Donald Trump is allowed to say whatever he's wants to say, as are you, as am I, as are all of us, because under the First Amendment,
Starting point is 00:42:08 we have as Americans, a right to free speech. But with that said... With that said, I'll posit a theory that if they indicted James Comey for a seashell message on the beach, 86-47, claiming that that was a call to assassinate a thin-skinned, even thinner-brained near octogenarian he's probably got a U.S. attorney out in California. Todd Blanche is
Starting point is 00:42:47 probably going hammer and tongs right now trying to get that indictment in. I am sorry that you and the president and everyone in that room on Saturday went through that. I really am. Just because no one got killed doesn't mean it wasn't traumatic and scary. We should come together
Starting point is 00:43:05 and be best. We really should. But if If you want us to believe that a joke I made three days before this dinner had any effect on anything that happened? Well, and maybe someone should look into this psychic lady, too. This speech tonight will be classic Donald J. Trump. It'll be funny. It'll be entertaining. There will be some shots fired tonight in the room. You know who's going to be furious when she hears that? White House Press Secretary Carolyn Levin will be furious.
Starting point is 00:43:39 This is like deja vu for me, too. with all the news channels talking about this, Brian Stelter of CNN noted, incorrectly, I think, that no one from the White House was specifically calling from my head. This is this morning, I guess the First Lady doesn't count. But whatever the case, the President cleared that up pretty quickly. The administration's calling out Kimmel trying to pressure ABC,
Starting point is 00:44:00 but they're being careful, I think, not to explicitly demand that ABC punish him. Despite their rhetoric, that sometimes becomes very incendiary from the White House, and yes, is also incendiary from the White House, incendiary from the left, these stress tests have been passed, and we've not seen demands for silencing be followed through by government censorship. Well, Brian, just as we were speaking, the president actually put out a note demanding
Starting point is 00:44:25 that Jimmy Kimmel be fired by the BBC. Well, in that case, forget everything I just said. Brian Stelter, it should be noted, is not so far out ahead of the curve. It's like he's on straight road. In fact, if Brian Stelter was on straight road, he'd be veering back and forth between the lanes thinking he was driving a curving mountain highway. That's how not good he is at his job. It really is a shame because there was a time not so long ago back in 2010 when, believe it or not, we sent our man, Yahya, to a Samsung promotional event in New York, where we learned that Donald Trump was a very big fan of mine. Mr. Trump, how are you, sir?
Starting point is 00:45:19 What are you doing here? Well, I'm here to support Samsung and their 3D plasma television. Do you want to... But I'm also here to support Jimmy. Because I love Jimmy. Okay, you want to come here? Hi, how are you? Nice to meet you. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:32 Nice to meet you. You want to being in my show? Well, you know what? I happen to love Jimmy. Let's do it. Oh, come on. Well, no, no, no. Sadly, his love for me went the way of the Samsung 3D plasma television.
Starting point is 00:45:46 Anyway, what happened on. Saturday at an event supporting the First Amendment, by the way. It was so crazy to watch. After the gunman was captured, there were so many well-known people in a room together, and there were cameras on everyone at all times. All the journalists, everybody grabbed their phones, immediately went into a reporter mode. It was like a reverse Clark Kent. Like, he goes, but the dinner was filmed by more different iPhones from more different angles
Starting point is 00:46:13 than the Torah portion of a bar mitzvah. This is video of the Secret Service moving Stephen Miller and his wife out of the room, followed by RFK Jr., getting whisked away while his wife, Cheryl Hines, is in the proverbial dust. That's right. He cut out of there like he saw a raccoon penis on the side of the road. But not everyone was in panic mode, while most of the attendees were taking cover, one guy who turns out to be Wolf Blitzer's agent, Watch him in the bottom left corner of your screen.
Starting point is 00:46:48 And the journalists all in the house seated very quietly watching this. And remember who is in the room. Secretary Pete Hagsett is in that room. You've got Scott Bessent in that room. You have Tulsi Gabbard in that room. You, of course, have J.D. Vance in that room. Naturally, the President of the United States. And as John mentioned, the White House correspondence dinner is where we are presently broadcasting from.
Starting point is 00:47:12 Stuff in his face. That would be a great commercial for Hidden Valley Ranch. Get that agent and agent. And while salad was being scarf, this woman was, I don't know, stocking up for the hotel room. I don't know what property was. I think Cash Patel just found a new assistant. Me and Cash Patel, you know, Cash Patel is ahead of the FBI. But somehow we wound up outside afterwards.
Starting point is 00:47:42 I don't know, calling his Uber driver, trying to get his mom to come pick him up. He seemed kind of lost. A lot of people were just lost. They didn't know what to do for a while there. It was unclear as to whether the dinner would be canceled or not. People were just waiting around. And finally, the president of the White House Correspondents Association took the stage to say, yes, the dinner is canceled and get to work.
Starting point is 00:48:04 The president will be having a press briefing at the White House in 30 minutes. That is not a joke. The only thing that aren't jokes anymore are jokes, okay? It was very strange seeing all the news people who were at the event, then reporting on the story in their tuxedoes and ball gowns. It's like if a basketball player wore his jersey and shorts to dinner after the game. The president, one thing about Donald Trump, there's nothing he can't turn into a real estate opportunity.
Starting point is 00:48:36 He immediately turned this into an argument in favor of his ballroom. He wrote, this event would never have happened with the militarily-top. secret ballroom currently under construction at the White House. I hate to be the bearer of bad news. I'm afraid that top secret ballroom is no longer top secret. If it was, he'd be storing it the shower. I have to admit something. I don't believe for one second that the reason he decided to build this ballroom is for security.
Starting point is 00:49:08 But this was a pretty good argument for building. I might be pro ballroom now, weirdly. now weirdly after this. That way, if anything terrible ever happens, at least they can dance. Less than 24 hours after calling on Americans to resolve our differences and praising
Starting point is 00:49:25 the warmth he shared with the press on Saturday night, Trump sat for an interview slash future $80 billion lawsuit with Nora O'Donnell in 60 minutes where he was asked about this manifesto his would-be attacker wrote. He also wrote this. I'm no longer willing to permit a pedophile,
Starting point is 00:49:41 rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes. What's your reaction to that? Well, I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would, because you're, you're horrible people. Horrible people. Yeah, he did write that. I'm not a rapist. I didn't rape anybody.
Starting point is 00:49:58 Oh, do you think he was referring to you? Excuse me. Still evergreen. General rule of thumb, you know an interview isn't going great when you have to say, I'm not a rapist and I'm not a pedophile. You should be ashamed of yourself reading that because I'm not any of those things. Mr. President, these are the gunman's words.
Starting point is 00:50:23 Excuse me. You shouldn't be reading that on 60 minutes. You're a disgrace. But go ahead. Let's finish the interview. The other thing that he wrote in the end. You're disgraceful. I guess the honeymoon with the press didn't laugh.
Starting point is 00:50:35 It was fun for 11 hours. But today, the president and first lady, welcome King Charles and Queen Camilla, who arrived at the White House that were what is scheduled to be a four-day visit to the United States, despite the obvious security concerns the King decided to go ahead with the trip. He said he'd be damned if he lets anything stand in the way of him finally get in his hands
Starting point is 00:50:56 on one of those Doritos Locos tacos from Taco And we were very hospitable. We wanted to make sure the King's visit was fun, so we went out onto Hollywood Boulevard to get opinions from folks on the street about some things Charles did while he was here, even though he hadn't arrived yet and we made all the things up.
Starting point is 00:51:16 for a special King Charles edition of Live Witness News. Can we see in a clip? King Charles is in America right now. Yeah, yeah, I've seen some stuff. Oh, yeah, that he's here on something about it got on Instagram that his wife is, what's it called, she's like some celebrity or something, and he's coming over here to Hollywood.
Starting point is 00:51:39 She's a Kardashian. Yeah, yeah. What did you think of the viral clip of King Charles cutting the line at Disneyland over the weekend? I think he needs to get to the back. of the line. Everyone needs to wait in line at Disneyland. It doesn't matter who you are. It is not your right to cut the line at Disneyland, King Charles. There's only one king at Disneyland, and that is Mickey Mouse.
Starting point is 00:51:59 But what did you think when King Charles gave Donald Trump the first ever Buckingham Peace Prize? Boy, that was bull of shit. And when you found a trick, was it something you said to the TV? Yeah, like, what the fuck? I mean, how do you think is possible? This corrupt-ass shit, he's just an orange clown. I have the right to say it no matter who is a fin. I'm not trying to offend you. I'm giving you my opinion.
Starting point is 00:52:22 What did you think of the pictures of King Charles on Venice Beach shirtless? Did you think the king would have so many back tattoos? What I think of King Charles with the tattoos, I never thought he would even have a tattoo. I don't even have a tattoo myself. Here's one with meaning. It's Calvin peeing on the 13 original colonies. Is that cool for a king to have?
Starting point is 00:52:49 sorry, that's good. Yeah. And by the way, yeah, Kim, I agree. Brian Stelter. Incendiary speech on the left. Brian Stelter, you asshole. That's just, Kim, that just, that partakes of a certain Zen perfection there.
Starting point is 00:53:10 Yeah. Brian Stelter, you asshole. Oh. Yeah, right. Flavio pointed. out from 2024, Trump posts video that shows the image of Biden tied up in the back of a truck. Yeah, play it, says Flavio. You can play it for her, you can play it for me.
Starting point is 00:53:38 Play it, sham. Let's see. Yeah, I knew there'd be an ad. There's always an ad. And, of course, you know, for thee, but not for me. That kind of usual, typical horse shit. Trump setting off a firestorm of controversy after an incendiary social media post. Trump posted a video on Friday, this one, featuring an image of President Joe Biden hogtied on the back of that pickup truck.
Starting point is 00:54:36 The Biden campaign is blasting the post as inciting political violence. CNN's Steve Contorno, joining us now with more on all of this, Steve. I mean, what is the Trump's campaign saying about this? Well, Fred, perhaps it's no surprise that they are. playing the severity of this video that Trump posted last night on Truth Social. Severeity? You can see there are two trucks, both of them sporting pro-Trump decals and flags. And on the second truck, there is this image of President Biden, as you said, hog-tied, a rather large image.
Starting point is 00:55:12 And in a statement to CNN, this Trump campaign said, quote, that picture was on the back of a pickup truck that was traveling down the highway. Democrats and crazed lunatics have not only called for despicable violence against President Trump and his family, they are actually weaponizing the justice system against him. And as you mentioned, the Biden campaign wasting no time responding to this. They said this to us in a statement. This image from Donald Trump is the type of crap you post when you're calling for a, quote, bloodbath or when you tell the proud boys to, quote, stand back and stand by. Trump is regularly inciting political violence, and it's time people take him seriously, just ask the Capitol police officers who were attacked protecting our democracy on January 6th.
Starting point is 00:55:59 And, Fred, we are used to this kind of imagery from Trump supporters at his rallies online. And yes, on the back of their vehicles, but it is still striking and somewhat different to get those kind of images amplified from a former president and someone who is seeking a return to the white. House. And Steve, just as the spokesperson exemplified in the post that there is some precedence to this in relation to Trump or his campaign stoking violence, saying incendiary things like this. But of course, you had the response from the Trump campaign saying that it's Democrats who have done this. So is there a response coming from the Trump campaign that the Biden campaign is exemplifying, you know, giving some examples just like January 6 and other times where, you know, inappropriate language like this is used and condoned.
Starting point is 00:56:56 They could certainly point to statements where there are Democrats who have said certain things about President Trump in the past. Nothing as direct as what that image itself showed. And it certainly is not coming from President Biden himself. But, you know, this. This is the kind of rhetoric that Trump has been using going back to his 2016 campaign for presidents. It's something that his supporters embraced and even some independents didn't necessarily mind from the former president at the time. However, it did wear down people as they continued throughout his presidency, and we saw
Starting point is 00:57:39 a lot of independent voters, a lot of moderates say, look, we are sick of these kinds of tweets and and this is a reminder that this is who the former president is and he continues to post this kind of stuff on truth social even though he might not do it in the public forum that yeah oh and by the way they mentioned steve chung the former wwee hype man i mentioned that long piece in the new york times yesterday imagine this if you will i talked about how Caroline Levitt was in the situation room when Nitwit Niro was pondering his filthy sneak attack on Iran. Well, guess who else was there, too? Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:58:32 Steve Chung. Guard the butter. Better yet, don't. So, hmm. Oh, God. And like I said, um, today he got his pet FCC commissioner to go after,
Starting point is 00:59:01 um, ABC thinking that ABC will just you know cave again some more right and oh
Starting point is 00:59:16 thank you thank you so much we're bringing it down a bit at a time thank you so important given where we are we are now at
Starting point is 00:59:33 4402 for the fundraising deficit. Thank you so much, Jude and women's standing. Thank you so very kindly indeed. Jude raising, and Kim in New York did too, because, well, this is repulsive. The federal government, and by that I mean, the Department of State in this instance,
Starting point is 01:00:07 has decided that they're going to put nitwit Nero's orange mug and the plan is in finalization stages they're going to put his filthy mug on U.S. passports.
Starting point is 01:00:35 Does a Japanese passport have an image of the emperor of Japan? Do British passports have a photo of, well, King Chuck? How about
Starting point is 01:00:52 there with our partners in peace, the Saudis, do they have a picture of Mohammed bin Bonesaw on their passports? Generally speaking, countries use their national symbols. I don't even think Vlad Pouti has his picture on the Russian passport. It's that old Byzantine double-headed eagle thingy. but no nitwit Nero has to be
Starting point is 01:01:35 coddled and so the bulwark publishing that there will be a radical redesign of the passport to include a representation of Tangerine Tiberius no
Starting point is 01:01:56 word yet on whether there will also be a little gyrus. in it. And supposedly it's all about celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States, which of course won't happen until
Starting point is 01:02:15 you know 2037 because that's when we became the United States by virtue of the Constitution thereof. I know, I'm just lost in the details, aren't I?
Starting point is 01:02:34 And this goes along with introducing coins with his filthy visage on it. Will it be, will it be a profile? How big would that coin have to be to get the turkey waddle in? And they also want an as large as possible commemorative gold coin. The National Park Service is putting his repulsive face on passes to the national parks and in fact word went out to workers at the parks that they are to throw out any passes that don't have nitwit Nero on it. A reporter named Brendan Keith from the from Atlanta News First said
Starting point is 01:03:43 son and I went to a national park in January and asked to buy the $80 annual pass. Rangers said they were ordered to throw out all the hard passes because they didn't have Trump's photo on them yet. It's worth remembering that during the Third Reich churches ordered clerics, and this was primarily in the Roman Catholic Church, ordered priests to celebrate Hitler's birthday every year while he was in power. Yeah, see, I don't, I don't, uh, Lee in New York. asking the image on the passport, will it also include his cancels and his hand grossness? Well, will it, I mean, if it's a profile, will it include that creepy, whatever it is, that's crawling up his neck from God knows where?
Starting point is 01:04:54 Well, and there we have it. Stephen New York pointing out, not even North Korea puts Kim Jong-un's photo on their passports. Cuba didn't put Fidel's photo on the passports Marshall Tito no in the former Yugoslavia
Starting point is 01:05:16 no just no Jude noting Trump's countenance and Trump's always repulss me but that face is his photo is his mugshot if I'm not mistaken
Starting point is 01:05:39 I think you're right Jude I think you are Jesus well in related news you know we don't we don't talk about the stock market much here
Starting point is 01:05:52 but well it was a rough day a moderately rough day on the New York Stock Exchange the Dow Jones sank by 25.86 points and NASDAQ was down
Starting point is 01:06:11 223.30 and the S&P 500 crapped out at minus 3511. On the other hand, Apple went up at 3.70.71 a share, and Google lost 1.02 on its trading today, closing at 34750. on the other hand with the news that nitwit Nero is going on the passport
Starting point is 01:06:48 futures for whiteout most notably liquid paper absolutely soared yeah for white out futures for delivery in
Starting point is 01:07:04 fiscal 2027 yeah thank you jude those are some lovely geese among some lovely wildflowers how pretty thank you
Starting point is 01:07:32 jude said ascending your way as a refined energy of support thank you where i was on Sunday outside the arborita in Seattle presented this glorious moment
Starting point is 01:07:46 oh how lovely indeed here in the hills I'm enjoying the coming of spring it's weird though I have not seen a red bud yet and usually they're my favorite flowering shrubs
Starting point is 01:08:07 of the season and it's strange that I haven't seen them blooming around here yet oh worrisome worrisome thank you Jude thank you dear
Starting point is 01:08:19 and his photo on everything Steve says, funny, where is the mark of the beast rhetoric now? Oh, I know. Well, there'll be, well, the maggots will line up to get their mark of the beast. Because remember, it says, broad is the way. Wide and broad. The road to hell.
Starting point is 01:08:57 I did not know that. Lee in New York says, did you know that white out, liquid paper? was created by Mike Nesmith's mother, obligatory monkeys reference. I did not. I just know that it's a real bugger to get off of a computer screen. As a blonde, I know that. And our pal Matt in San Francisco has opined on that from time to time.
Starting point is 01:09:30 And from the Camel Cardinal, former WWE hype man, this is how we know you're completely out of your element, I'm not a former WWE hype man. He is, in fact, a former UFC carnival barker. Well, excuse me! Mm-hmm. Which then begs the question, if you're lying to us about the former career of President Trump's personal spokes hero, what else are you lying to us about?
Starting point is 01:10:00 Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm. That's not lying, that's just ignorance. On my part. There I was thinking he was with the WWU. but no, it turns out he's with that outfit. Again, it's still men prancing around a ring and spandex panties, but these guys kick each other in the head. Somehow it all makes sense.
Starting point is 01:10:31 But yeah, even the Iranian passport doesn't have the visage of the Ayatollah in it or on it, hasn't for years. Are you saying that it did at one point in time? Hmm. But it's pathetic. And again, so much work, so much work to do to clean up this mess. And from Cynthia talking about the passport issue, Trump's picture to go inside our passports, fuck that. I would send it back and demand one without Trump.
Starting point is 01:11:22 I'm so fucking sick of this ass-licking Trump equals America and America equals Trump. That's just one more obscenity on top of obscenity piled on top of a shit pile of obscenities. Fuck Trump. And the only picture I want inside my passport is mine. I could not agree more. How's the kitchen coming? Oh, you said six weeks to, yeah. Well, depending on what the fire conditions are where you are there, Cynthia,
Starting point is 01:11:53 you might actually want to go outside and do some cooking. I can walk you through an absolutely pitch-perfect pork shoulder if you're up for it. and from Michael, anything to save their jobs. First, it was crusty and her overspending at DHS, then it was Jojo Blondie, and now it looks like Crash is trying to save his ass, but no matter what he tries to do, he's toast. Wonder who will replace him, Matt Gates? Oh, no, they wanted Matt Gates for Attorney General,
Starting point is 01:12:24 and even the Senate of the United States said, Oh, come on! Michael also asking, why is Kid Rocket at the Pentagon? Why the fuck is Kid Rocket at the Pentagon giving a personal address? rest of the troops about the Hormuz Strait. Another one who's never served in the military giving speech
Starting point is 01:12:44 is to military personnel. Make it make sense. I can't. I won't even try. Nope. Well, I'll be dipped. Maybe this all makes more sense now. Brother Deaconasa saying, yes, Iranian passports had the Ayatollah's hologram on the inside of the cover. Well,
Starting point is 01:13:08 now we know who he really wants to be. Of course, your humble Ostis was sort of put out of the passport game a while back seeing as how I can't qualify for one by virtue of the fact that I'm not going to have somebody calling me a man when there's nothing about me that is yet you're right Micah says
Starting point is 01:13:47 this man wants so badly to have a legacy other than pedophile rapist won't ever happen for as long as I live and I will outlive that fucker you're damn right you will and you don't even have to do it to spite him and yes I do have a summer wait red dress in case anybody was wondering ooh how cool Jeremy since you worship the sun's warmth figures you'd enjoy a few photos I got Saturday in my spare time of our sun hint it's not yellow or red it's pure white but through our atmosphere
Starting point is 01:14:25 it appears red or yellow yeah it's white hot I have no doubt Ooh, you can even see sunspots. Jeremy, you've got a really cool new hobby. That's just awesome. Thank you for that. Yeah, I can't worship too much. I was walking through Wally World earlier today.
Starting point is 01:14:56 And I noticed they've got their... They're in action alley. They've got their big display of virtually every kind of sunscreen known to humanity. Maybe at some point. maybe at some point I'll have a reason to use some of it. By the way, I got my blood work done today, drove over to Somersville, and most of the numbers look pretty good. My A1C is kind of out of whack, but, you know, your umbilosis is A1C wouldn't be so bad
Starting point is 01:15:43 if she didn't occasionally succumb to temptation and open up a lot. a pint of ice cream about 11 o'clock at night. Yeah, I know, I know. And from the Department of G, I hope it doesn't hurt too little. I guess the internecine rivalry,
Starting point is 01:16:15 the Civil War inside the maggot party, maggots in disarray! Will it ever show up on a headline on the New York Times or the Washington Post or Chicken Noodle News? I somehow don't think so, but
Starting point is 01:16:33 Laura Looney, who last we checked, was busy getting her ass handed to her in a defamation suit that was bounced right out of the trial court. She
Starting point is 01:16:53 says she's going to go after Candio. I'm going to be releasing some very damning documents today that prove Candio has a lot to hide. Candio won't be able to get out of this one. And Candio, Candice Owens isn't all who she claims to be.
Starting point is 01:17:23 Oh, I can't wait. I cannot wait. Oh, please, Laura Looney, transvestigate her. Those who live in two multi-million dollar glass houses hidden in a trust fund shouldn't throw stones. And, of course, Candio fired right back because, well, this is a seventh-grade slap fight. I'm so scared, Laura. She's so upset she literally can't find anything on my family. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 01:17:59 It's, um, it Candio, I know, I know, you're, you're just a baby. And I know you think that history began the day you were born. But can I tell you about a, let me tell you a little story about a man named Gary Hart, who once was heralded as quite possibly the next president of the United States. And he had been hounded by the press. And he said, hey, follow me wherever you want to go. I got nothing to hide. Well, it wasn't too much longer after that.
Starting point is 01:18:43 And, you know, this is one of those moments of political rat fuckery. that's right up there with what was done to Edmund Muskie back in 1972. He was the frontrunner of the Democrats at that time. Gary Hart, if not the frontrunner, was very close to it. And a woman, not Fawn Hall, I don't think it was Jessica Hahn, but a woman aboard a boat called the Monkey Business plopped down and sat on Gary Hart's lap for about
Starting point is 01:19:21 a tenth of a second, just long enough for a paparazzi to catch a photo at which point in time it began. Ah, see, we caught Gary Hart. Gary Hart's a sleazy womanizer. Gary Hart barely had time to know that she was there. Well, Candio, if you tell the media that you got nothing to hide and they're free to follow you. They will follow you, and depending on which rat fucker, They are associated with, if they can't find anything, candy, oh, Bill? They'll create something.
Starting point is 01:20:08 And, of course, as we always note, when the maggots fight amongst themselves, gee, I hope it doesn't hurt too little. Well, and the real question we all want to answer, it says, Jeremy, is, did the Action Alley at Wally World offer a sunscreen? strong enough to protect you from the fridge bulb at 11 when you crave ice cream. When I reach into the freezer, I have a full moon suit on. Donna Rice, thank you, Lee. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:20:53 Donna Rice. I remembered Jessica Hahn. I remembered Fawn Hall. Fawn Hall was part of the Ollie North story. Jessica Hahn was part of the downfall of Jim. Baker and Tammy at PtL and then yes Donna Rice was the girl on Gary Hart's lap for about a split second thank you thank you Lee serving as the horn ad hoc Gary Hart's mistake research department what an evening and now trying to save his ass
Starting point is 01:21:45 Trash Patel director of the FBI who for some reason another, as noted by Jimmy Kimmel was wandering around aimlessly outside the White House Correspondents Association venue, decided to get big mad at Minnesota Governor Kim Walls. This was in the aftermath of FBI with federal state and local law enforcement is involved in court-authorized law enforcement activity as part of an ongoing fraud investigation. A DOJ spokes creep told Fox News TV Radio Rwanda. Well, Tim Walls went over to what used to be Twitter and said, raids by state and federal law enforcement happened because our state agencies caught irregular behavior and reported it.
Starting point is 01:22:39 That's how the system's supposed to work, and our agencies will keep at it, as long as there are fraudsters around to put behind bars. Well, this just got all over, Trash Patel, who somehow managed to focus both eyes on the same thing long enough to say, come again this FBI and DOJ with our DHS partners drafted and executed every search warrant today but go ahead and take credit for our work while we smoke off the fraud plaguing Minnesota under your governorship see you in Valhalla brother no I added that part I'm always going to add the see you in Valhalla brother part to anything trash Patel says funny thing was he didn't deny that state of
Starting point is 01:23:33 officials had initiated the investigation. Yeah, I know. Good times. And from the Department of Jesus Christ, this is sleazy. Word came down today that the Magid administration has reinstated Jonathan Ross, the man who murdered Renee Good in Minneapolis. According to the Daily Beast, Ross was, quote, quietly relocated to another state and sent back to work.
Starting point is 01:24:27 This is the same dirtbag who called Renee Good a fucking bitch after he murdered her. Norm Ornstein over on what used to be Twitter said, cold-butted murderer, Minnesota needs to charge him. Cartoonist at the New Yorker Mark Thompson said, gosh, here's hoping he wasn't inconvenienced. It's who they are. It's who they are.
Starting point is 01:25:03 Oh, and we're at the halfway point of the program. This is a desperate struggle for every penny. We are down to $4,402 to fully fund the month of April. There are two programs left after this. $2,200 a program? No. But, yeah, $4,402. and if we wanted to get to halfway funded for the month of April,
Starting point is 01:25:46 we'd need to raise $1,402. And even that's a mighty, mighty tall ask. I hate talking about this, you know that. But it does, well, makes life a mite complicated, to say the least. Yeah, I get that, Cynthia. and I hope your renovation is done quicker than you actually expect. I hope the inspections, inspectors don't dawdle. Yeah, point of order, says, Micah, the man who executed Renee Good,
Starting point is 01:26:37 state actor, not some random criminal. Sure enough. Holy crap, really, Sherry? Just FYI, Fawn Hall and Oliver North got married a year or so ago. Well, there's a marriage made in hell. I had no idea. I wonder, well, I wonder if the little bride and groom at the top of their wedding cake was made out of shredded documents. Sherry, thank you so much.
Starting point is 01:27:21 I love little moments like that. Thank you. What a couple. Yeah, L-O-L, I know. There went. I don't think we have to worry about your humble oast is sneaking off. to the freezer and getting a pint of Hagen-Daz out of it this evening, that's for damn sure.
Starting point is 01:27:52 Damn. Just wow. No, but like I said, we're at the halfway point of the program. This is a conversation radio program after all if you'd like to engage in some of the same. 844-843-4-6-76
Starting point is 01:28:11 is the number. You can also reach the program via Discord, the old holler tree. and jump right in there. Roger in the chat room. Hi, Roger. Putting up an image of what the new passports will look like. And yet, I don't think I'm going to have so much of a peanut butter and cracker after the program at this rate.
Starting point is 01:28:47 And you know what? Jude was right. That's his fucking mugshot. A great day of coming, y'all. And a great day of coming. What else? Well, this is... Oh, no worries.
Starting point is 01:29:19 No worries, Flavio. I know how hard it is for everybody. I get it. Believe me, I do. Yeah, I know. I'm trying, Brother Deacon, I'm trying. The story coming out from ProPublica today, I can't begin to describe how repulsive this is.
Starting point is 01:30:10 Dear God. Headline. and for well uh kim in new york i know i know you'll have a take on this
Starting point is 01:30:22 because this is the world in which you work uh kim noting uh why hasn't minnesota charged johnson ross what is the hold up with indicting his ass you're a lawyer i need answers i'm not a lawyer and i don't play one on the radio but i have no i have no i have no real answer, except to say that you've got to have for something like a murder prosecution, you've got to have all the ducks in a row, and do remember that the goons moved in and declared
Starting point is 01:31:05 that they had frozen Minnesota authorities out and kept them from accessing the evidence. So that might be a part of the problem. but the story I was referencing Trump administration aims to penalize disabled adults who live with their families a rule change pushed by White House officials would slash benefits or end support for as many as 400,000 SSI recipients with Down syndrome, dementia and other disabilities whose parents or relatives receive snap benefits this is horrifying and heartbreaking
Starting point is 01:32:00 The story references a young woman named Shetaira Burton. She was a preemie, born into a family in Philadelphia that struggled to survive. When she was born, she couldn't breathe or swallow without tubes and was mostly confined to medical facilities until she was four, all of which work together to leave her developmentally disabled and intellectually disabled with an IQ
Starting point is 01:32:49 below 70. IQ being problematic, of course. But nonetheless, Shetaira busted her ass, graduated high school in their special ed program, and even went so far as to try community college.
Starting point is 01:33:14 She tried to work. She did everything in her power to be a productive member of society, you know, in the capitalist way. She finally got SSI that gives her a whopping $944 a month. She's 22 years old.
Starting point is 01:33:39 Nobody. And I mean nobody can live on $944 a month and Brookie Rollins, the Ag Secretary, I don't care how many times she says that Americans can eat and be well-nourished on a piece of chicken, a couple of pieces of broccoli, a tortilla, and something extra special for $3 a day. And this young woman's expected to do that,
Starting point is 01:34:11 and pay rent, and pay power, and pay trash, and pay utilities. Yeah, no. So that $994 helps to support her, and she lives with her daddy who brings in a whopping $2,000 a month as a sanitation worker in Philadelphia. My God. Dr. King went to Memphis, where he gave his life,
Starting point is 01:34:47 had his life taken, to support the basic dignity of sanitation workers there and in the year of oh my lord 2006 a man who makes life livable for others by hauling away their copious amounts of garbage
Starting point is 01:35:18 only makes $2,000 a month what kind of society do we live in honestly who are we I feel like we're a society whose leaders
Starting point is 01:35:41 the people in power have made us monstrous. Of course, Shetair and her daddy are black, so wealthy white Republicans, wealthy Republicans in general, Republicans in general,
Starting point is 01:36:06 couldn't give a good God damn. And now they're proving it. The White House is finalizing a rule that will take that Pissant $944 away from people like Chitira, simply because she lives in the same home with the family who loves her.
Starting point is 01:36:44 I personally know people that will be wrecked by this. And I dare say you do too. ProPublica says four federal officials, internal emails, and a federal regulatory listing confirm. the rule change, what they want to do is deduct the value of a disabled adult's bedroom from their SSI allotment, even if the rest of the family qualifies for SNAP benefits because they're poor enough. That would in turn wipe out at least a third of that whopping $944.
Starting point is 01:37:42 And of course, where did the idea come from? Well, you don't have to gas. The story says top White House officials. We know that that's Russell vote. But it's also... It was also suggested by the richest man in the world, Leon Scum. And it's the second time that these assholes have taken a run at SSI. And by the way, the amount of fraud around the SSI program
Starting point is 01:38:36 is so tiny that you'd need an electron microscope to find it. Yeah, like I said, the second time they've tried to do it last year when they got caught by ProPublica and other journalism practitioners and they pointed out that guess who's going to be hurt the most?
Starting point is 01:39:16 And we always, it's always the same answer. Working families in maggot states. Jesus Christ. What that would do in West Virginia, what it would do in Mississippi Stan is almost incalculable. People will die. ProPublica points out the likely SSI cut will affect not just younger adults with disabilities, such as Down syndrome and severe autism,
Starting point is 01:39:57 who are still living at home with their low-income parents, but also older people with health or financial. problems who have had to move in with their adult children on tight budgets. All told as many as 400,000 poor and disabled people and indigent older people across the United States could have their support cut or eliminated. And that's based on actuarial findings from Social Security Administration itself. Even the National Association of Evangelicals have gotten involved. Galen Carey is the Vice President of Government Relations for that group.
Starting point is 01:40:44 That means he's a lobbyist. He has a 35-year-old son with Down syndrome who lives at home and gets SSI. And he said, well, this is about how the faithful will be judged in our care for the most vulnerable. Oh, Mr. Carey, you don't seem to understand whom you're dealing with. Leon Scum hasn't even figured out yet through his ketamine haze or whatever. that they don't hook U-Hauls to hearses or rocket ships to Mars. Mr. Carey went on and said, knowing that they are contributing and not a burden to the family can be a source of great pride
Starting point is 01:41:43 and somewhere around 40 disability advocate organizations, Down syndrome organizations in particular, have written to the head of the Social Security Administration opposing these cuts and you talk about the devil in the details it's all tied to snap snap is hard enough to get
Starting point is 01:42:32 we make it we make it infinitely harder to be poor in the United States than it is to be wealthy in the U.S. a snap household that also has in it a person who has SSI generally has an annual total income
Starting point is 01:43:02 of about $17,000. And there's a calculus that was put forward during the Biden administration that, and again, they tried, they tried to be decent. If a household's already demonstrated its poverty via SNAP or other public assistance
Starting point is 01:43:31 programs, then the family's officially deemed unable to financially support a disabled loved one living at home. Well, the maggots are going to tear this all to pieces. Regardless of whether SNAP has already made that finding,
Starting point is 01:43:53 anybody over 18 at home who's not paying full rent will be treated as though they have such a word, a better a factor. And the maggots want to count the value of the bedroom as well as any income and assets their
Starting point is 01:44:14 family may have, and that may happen as often as every month and deducted from the SSI check. God damn, talk about swallow a mountain and gag on an act. Jesus. Now, ProPublica would not publish something like this without going
Starting point is 01:44:45 to, well, OMB, Russell, vote, with their findings, And so Rachel Colley, C-A-U-L-E-Y, if you're working in this maggot administration, let's face it, you're a piece of shit and should be unemployable for the rest of your natural-born days. Well, Rachel Collie is the spokes crepe. And she said, this story is false because it speculates about policies that have not yet been decided. I said, okay, tell us which part of it's false. And she couldn't.
Starting point is 01:45:26 She just said, well, it's trash. Over at the Social Security Administration, a spokes creep there said, Commissioner Bisignano remains committed to protecting and strengthening Social Security and serving America's most vulnerable populations. Bullshitty said the Robin, and she turned and walked away. And then ProPublica brings the receipts and interviewed multiple families that will be impacted by this. And this is noteworthy. Supplemental security income, which serves 7.5 million Americans who are unable to make a living because of severe disabilities or destitution caused by old age, has always been a huge mountain to climb.
Starting point is 01:46:27 The process takes years, and then the recipients are constantly hectored and harangued, constantly reevaluated, sent to men. medical and vocational experts to make sure they're not a ripping off the gumment. This is interesting. I said it was, you know, swallow them out and gag on an app. The overhead from constantly tormenting SSI recipients, well, the 5% of all Social Security Administration benefits is what SSI is. SSI is not technically within the Social Security so-called trust fund, but Social Security administers it. And while it's only 5% of all Social Security disbursements,
Starting point is 01:47:39 it's 35% of the agency's administrative budget. 35% of the administrative budget is spent trying to figure out ways to torment people with disabilities and people destroyed by a life. inside the miracle that is capitalism. It's a nightmare. Again, it's at propublica.org. Go and read it for yourself.
Starting point is 01:48:27 It's a horror. And Kim said, thank you for talking about the ProPublica piece. This might be the most despicable policy that this misbegotten administration has put forth when it comes to benefits. It's not about fraud. It's not about cost-saving. It's about fucking cruelty and contempt toward those who are vulnerable.
Starting point is 01:48:56 Who are we? We're the ones that elected this bastard in his administration. And we're the ones that are allowing this to continue. Well, Kim, I doubt you elected him. I certainly didn't. Nobody in the Horn family community congregation did that I know of. But we, the people of the United States, why do I bother? Yeah, that's us.
Starting point is 01:49:24 And listen, people who are. receive SSI have been demeaned for years. 30 or more years ago, people who would never have to worry about anything like intellectual disabilities or a roof over their head. Would refer to SSI as the drunk check.
Starting point is 01:50:00 Hey, just get liquored up. You go in and say it can't work. And they give you the money. I remember being disgusted by it then and I remain disgusted by it now. and Kim says, gee, I wonder when the venerable AARP is going to come out against this policy. Oh, yeah, most SSI recipients don't purchase Medicare Advantage plans. So probably never. And, you know, I'm only two years away from Medicare.
Starting point is 01:50:33 And based on what I read, the push is to force everybody into a Medicare Advantage program, which is just a con. you know, it's a Hobson's choice. The horse by the door or no horse at all. It's the lady or the tiger, and there's a tiger behind both doors and no lady. Yeah, AARP probably, well, they don't give a tanker's damn, and you know it, and I know it, Kim. More people need to know it.
Starting point is 01:51:19 Meanwhile, Cynthia points out, and Trump will have to really struggle with just the $10 billion taxpayer dollars he wants from the IRS for Trump. heap more money on him and fuck us all. Well, and by the way, just in, by the way of a reminder, now the Congress is going to debate giving Nitwit Niro the money for his ballroom. Oh, Jesus God. Saw that one coming from a mile away.
Starting point is 01:51:57 What happened to, oh, my billionaire friends are paying for it, me. It won't cost the taxpayers as cent. Shades of the Iraq War will pay for itself with Iraqi oil, right? Yeah, I don't know either, but Flavio says, I don't know who said it, but I think it was a European statesman who pointed out
Starting point is 01:52:20 your brutes to your people. Can't remember who said it, but it's very apt. Well, you've thrown the gauntlet down in front of the Horn Ad Hoc Research Department, so we'll probably know fairly quickly. Your brutes to your people.
Starting point is 01:52:48 And Randy Radar points out, and this is why you should support the horn. You won't get this on any other media. I mean, ProPublica did put it out there. They did the legwork. I'm just talking about it. I just wonder how many other people will talk about it. But thank you, Randy Radar. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:53:14 Thank you so much. Randy Radar talking about Hurses, well, U-Hauls behind Hurses. My older sibling hasn't figured that out in neither of my colleagues. thousands. Well, most people can't even stand to contemplate their own mortality. It's a fact. Let's run over to the stress line and see who we got. Hey, welcome to the program. Jesus bleeding fucking Christ, Robin. I'm going to try not to start yelling. You can if you want, Jeremy. If anything's worth it, this is. No, I'm going to maintain my possibility of calmness, but I have a fire burning inside it right now, which
Starting point is 01:54:12 I don't often feel. I said before, I don't support violence. I don't condone it. But I understand it. I wholeheartedly understand it, especially with, like, the insurance stuff I talked about last month. I get it. I understand violence. I understand the rage.
Starting point is 01:54:25 But this one, there's a different level of anger on this one. We all know people without ever saying any names who rely on things like SSI because of medical conditions. I know people in this fucking family that rely on SSI to something. I've been fucked by the Trump administration personally. But this one's a new level of cruel. And, I mean, my mother adopted two children 42 years ago. One of them survived.
Starting point is 01:54:59 It's me. But we lived a relatively good childhood and into middle adulthood because our father, birth father fucking died when I was three and she was one and a half. my mom got that SSI on top of her income to help raise us, provide our clothes, food, school lunches, you fucking name it, came from that.
Starting point is 01:55:24 So it's not the same story, but my mom supported us with SSI because we couldn't defend ourselves as three-year-olds up until they're 18. But to say you want to take it from profoundly mentally disabled people who are struggling to get by because they still live with their parents, I have no words for them. I really have no words. Just pure rage. I'm hungry
Starting point is 01:55:51 so I'm not helping, but I'm shaking because I'm so mad right now. Well, that shows that you've got a perfectly well-functioning conscience. Take that win. You know, Micah
Starting point is 01:56:08 Micah said just a moment ago, we're a society that doesn't give a flying fuck about each other. I got mine, fuck you should be the new national motto, I think we should put it on the flag. I agree with Mike. We don't give a fuck about people once it directly involves you.
Starting point is 01:56:27 I mean, it's just and like you said, this isn't the first attempt, this is the second attempt at this. Hopefully this will get to stop deadness track, you know, to the guilty people hold people who will go on for it. But God damn, I mean, we can spend a billion plus a day bombing brown people in another country,
Starting point is 01:56:43 you know, denying our own troops deaths, but we can't support our what happened to protect the kids? I mean, yes, these people are adults, but if they're profoundly mentally disabled, they're often functioning the level of a five-year-old. Oh, Christ, they're... My daughter, Robin. I know.
Starting point is 01:57:01 I know. I know. Like I said, they go out to the most vulnerable. I mean, I've done some shitty things in my life, but this is not on this level ever. No, not even close to this. Holy Christ. I would never support this. I don't care how bad the dumb side was. and I tell people a lot of times
Starting point is 01:57:21 the support system we have out there I mean welfare stuff like that yeah I don't like the fact that some people find a way to take it in it may do any system is not perfect but god damn it in the end if I need it someday desperately enough there'll be something there for me I know that
Starting point is 01:57:34 it may not be much but it might keep me alive ever fell into that system that's why I tell people who are doing better and complain why can't you just be happy and live your fucking life don't worry about other people you're paying cents on the dollar into your taxes for this system that can your ass someday.
Starting point is 01:57:50 Try to tell them all the time. What would you do with your family? You do the same thing? And they'll button half. And after a few minutes, they have to admit, well, yes, I do the same thing. If I was put in that situation. So what's the fucking problem, hypocrite? Well, Jeremy, there's a psychosocial phenomenon.
Starting point is 01:58:11 That's the best way I can describe it. Where people, I guess they feel better about themselves by shitting on other people. And honestly, that's what years and years and years of Republican politics have gotten us in this country. You know, Republicans barked and braided about the original Social Security Act under FDR with the same sort of, you know, twisted analysis. Well, somebody's getting something for free. Why can't they work for it? And, of course, we're so, you know, we're not that far away from the 100th anniversary of Social Security. and that means that there is no one alive in this country anymore who can remember what old, I mean,
Starting point is 01:59:14 never, you know, things like SSI came along later, but we don't even have people in this country who can remember what old age destitution looked like. Getting old and being unable to work was a death sentence in this country. Back when it was still a viable, back when it was still a viable publication, the Washington Post at one point in time did a long piece on what America was like before Social Security
Starting point is 01:59:45 and why it was such an absolute necessity when FDR came into office. Yeah, before FSAI, we had poor houses and work firm where you worked off every, I mean, even if you could barely work, you worked in a fucking field in a wheelchair pulling roots or some stupid shit like that. When you couldn't do it, just to maintain your dignity. God helps those who help themselves. And you'd be surprised the number of people who think that's actually in the Bible. It's not. There's a certain security or secretary of defense who thinks that Samuel Jackson is the Bible, too, but he's not.
Starting point is 02:00:27 Well, that's true, too. God. And by the way, it's not just this story. Over at HUD, Housing and Urban, development, they've got a new rule change in mind as well. And what they want to do is overturn an Obama era rule that said that housing programs are open regardless of gender identity. And so now they want to promulgate a new rule that removes the words gender and gender identity
Starting point is 02:01:07 from the regulations and replaces them with sex, meaning male or female, and allows owners or operators of shelters that permit single-sex or sex-specific facilities to require reasonable assurances and evidence to confirm the sex of an individual seeking service. So, in other words, turn away the desperate, unhoused trans person and let them die in the streets. You know, we saw the first inklings of this coming out of Florida with that odious, law that said that based on their Christian conscience, first responders, doctors, nurses, what have you, can refuse to treat a person based on their Christian morals and let a trans person or a gay person just bleed out in the streets.
Starting point is 02:02:08 That's who they are. And so the proposed rule says, and I quote, through these revisions the rule would ensure equal access to qualifying facilities would be provided in accordance with the sex of an individual based on his or her immutable biological classification
Starting point is 02:02:27 as either male or female rather than the ever-shifting concept of self-assessed gender identity you know that's such bullshit right there immutable biological classification it's not immutable it's not immutable
Starting point is 02:02:44 there's new new studies out that show for instance that after a while on different hormones, your very cell structure itself begins to change to that which the hormone represents. And here we are. And of course, this says that there are only males or females. Well, there goes the intersex people who exist in the general population at about the same rate as pure redheads, which is not a tiny number.
Starting point is 02:03:22 The National Housing Law Project said this would force federally funded shelters, force them to deny a roof over trans people's heads and not only allow, but encourage discrimination against applicants and tenants based on sexual orientation or gender identity. It's sickening. That's what Jesus is wrong. of course. My everybody. Anyway, I'm really,
Starting point is 02:04:06 I'm a loss for words but I'm profoundly disgusted by this and I'll go back to do it when I do to pay my bills, but it makes you feel any better. But your situation right now in terms of the horn, I told you what I pay for insurance per month.
Starting point is 02:04:21 Yeah. Guess what? Today is a due day. It's a third of my pay every fucking month. And for the first time, and three years is what they fucking done to me, it's going to be three days late. So I feel your pain.
Starting point is 02:04:30 Trust me, I fucking feel it. Oh, I know. I know. And I appreciate the good humor of your loose change in the numbers. I just do it to add a little exciting to the show. It's all I do it more. I know, because it's fun to hear the wheels turn, the rusty little wheels turn in my ciphering brain.
Starting point is 02:04:49 But the reality of it is, and I'll mention it now. I have two things scheduled. in May, an echo-cardiogram and a nuclear stress test and at this point in time I can't pay my main health insurance
Starting point is 02:05:09 screening. It's where we are. It's just where we are. I just for in the medical area every second. I did get some interesting feedback today. I went to see endocrinology because my new doctor
Starting point is 02:05:25 she thinks that they could optimize my pumps. It works a little better. And I was just blunt today. I said, listen, there's nothing you can say to it to maybe change the way I eat food. I like what I like. I'm not going to be a cow. I'm not going to cut things out.
Starting point is 02:05:40 I said the problem is insurance. They're saying I can only have so many pumps, you know, change per week. They want the last three days. I've got them down to two and a half days. I said I could some days change my pump every day. 200 units of insulin. I said there's nothing as a diabetic
Starting point is 02:05:59 I cannot eat. I have to match you with insulin. The problem is I can't have enough insulin to do it. They're kind of like cutting up. And so for years I've been rationing. I said it hasn't affected me yet, but at some point it will catch up. So she suggested that I try
Starting point is 02:06:14 a little technical garden. I take a normal dose of insulin. There's a strand out there which is two times it's powerful. So if you take two units, it's actually four units. So if you take 30, it's actually 60 units. I regularly give myself 10 to 15 with a meal when I really should do 25 to 30, but I'm rationing. She said, this would end that. And it would probably help bring you down more level. She said, I think you're doing absolutely awesome.
Starting point is 02:06:45 I mean, it could be better. We want you around seven. You're 7.6. She said, that's not going to cause issues. But she said, we could get you lower. So that was the interesting news I got when we tried new kind of insulin, but I might have to fight like fucking hell with my insurance him again because they do not support this insulin. They like, there's two kinds of novalogue and homilogue. Their preferred brain is novalogue. So they're going to deny it. But the diabetes specialist says she's pretty sure she can win an appeal based on my
Starting point is 02:07:14 medical charge proving how it personally affect me. So I guess that's the good news. We'll see. I mean, let's have to go buy it and pay a deductible on top of it. before I actually get the pens in my hand, but hopefully this will make a slight improvement. Other than that, but someone else come in a call and call off
Starting point is 02:07:32 and go back to work and find a meal to eat and call myself down because I'm sweating. I'm so mad right now. Oh, Jeremy, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to do that to you, but it's the world we live in. No, it wasn't you. It's just, it's just human nature for someone with morals and compassion with other people Disney actually gives a fuck. I act mean, I act tough, I pick on people, and anyone that hears me pick on you,
Starting point is 02:07:53 pick on anyone else. I said for a weird, for a long time, it's my weird way of endangerment. If I didn't like you, you wouldn't exist to me. I just wouldn't talk to you. I wouldn't mean. It's weird. That's who I am, so I'm going to go now. All right. You take care, Jeremy. We'll talk soon.
Starting point is 02:08:09 Yeah. Bye-bye. Bye. Yeah. And, uh, I mean, getting angry at something like this is okay. I think Jeremy's right. It's a sign of a functioning moral and ethical center.
Starting point is 02:08:30 And look, this has long been a, this has long been, you know, it's not a, it's not a, it's not a, it's not a, it's not a, it's not a, it's not a, it's not a public and politics. Remember the idiot, that idiot woman in, uh, what was it, Nevada who wanted to take a chicken to the doctor? Yeah. And then of course, there's RFK Jr. Dr. Oz.
Starting point is 02:09:01 I'm sure that RFK Jr. would say, all we have to do is kick these useless people off of their SSI, and I can send them to a camp upstate where they can run and play all they want to. I swear. You know, maybe it's a genetic thing with him. Remember, his grandfather, Joe Kennedy, was really, really big into appeasing the Nazis, to the point that FDR had to keep him away from any opportunity to speak kindly about that Mr. Hetba.
Starting point is 02:10:04 Maybe it skips a generation or something. And Jude says, great work, Jeremy. Focus. Signed Jude. Yeah. And Randy Radar says, I usually put a cork in my physical anger because I don't get to live otherwise
Starting point is 02:10:28 on what they call an avoidant personality. Pre-social security, Lee in New York says Charles Dickens illustrated it well in a Christmas carol. Are there no more workhouses? But if anyone, if you can find it, that Washington Post piece, if anybody still has a Washington Post subscription on pre-social security America
Starting point is 02:10:52 was genuinely great journalism. I remember talking about it eons ago with our dear friend Sandra back then. Yeah, okay, thank you. Leah, New York, serving as the horn ad hoc who said bring a chicken to the doctor research department. Sue Loudon playing with a chicken.
Starting point is 02:11:18 A Republican Senate hopeful in Nevada has been widely mocked for earlier this week, stating this was back then, Before we all started having health care in the olden days of our grandparents, they would bring a chicken to the doctor. They'd say, I'll paint your house. Kind of hard to paint a house when you... Never mind.
Starting point is 02:11:42 And I'm going to have to knock off early again this evening. I am, for those of you who are wondering, I am having a little bit of getting to play amateur Uber driver again. And it's fun. but, well, there's a couple of things we can do to wrap up. Going back to the indictment of James Comey over Seychelles, oh, please, please, please try to take that to trial. I think Todd Blanchie, he of hanging his client out to drive on 34 felony counts,
Starting point is 02:12:32 I think Todd Blanchie knows that there's no way this, thing will fly, but he can then go back and say to Tangerine Tiberius But Daddy, I tried. I did, Daddy, I tried. And besides, I'm a boy. I'm not one of those ecky girls
Starting point is 02:12:49 like Jojo Blondie. But apparently when this indictment dropped, even Jonathan Turley was a mite well, surprised by the indictment.
Starting point is 02:13:13 I can never keep the sex pests and creep straight. Back during Me Too, wasn't Jonathan Turley outed as a full-on creep? Check me on that. All right, let's bring in Fox News contributor, constitutional law attorney Jonathan Turley. Jonathan, when Comey initially posted that Instagram photo, his caption insinuated that he did not create this shell art formation in the sand. I'm curious if it matters whether, you know, he got a lot of criticism at the time. Everyone was saying, oh, we all know that you actually put that together and then photographed it. Does any of that matter in a legal sense in this
Starting point is 02:14:04 case, whether Comey is the originator of that message or whether he just walked by as he claims to have done and photographed it? Well, I have to say, I must be in a parallel universe to be talking about the shell artwork of James Comey. But the fact is that it is relevant only to the extent that he might have denied a fact that proved to be, his denial proved to be false to federal officials. Sorry to stop you, but you mean like if there was a witness or something on the beach who saw him, is that what?
Starting point is 02:14:42 Well, if he was questioned and gave false information to federal investigators, that can be the basis of a charge. I think that just showing the picture is going to be a weak case in terms of a threat. What's interesting is that the first indictment that was dismissed involved false statements under 18 U.S.C. 1,001. And that's the most used provision in terms of false statement prosecutions by the Department of Justice. What's interesting about that dismissal is that it was based on the fact that Lindsay Halligan, who was the acting U.S. attorney, was viewed as not properly in her position.
Starting point is 02:15:23 That problem has now been cured by James Hundley, who is appointed essentially by the court. Now, it's not clear if they went back and just cured that problem, they're going to reissue part of what they were pursuing under the original indictment. or whether we're talking at this point of something that is a new charge. So, Professor, we don't yet know what the contents of the indictment hold, but Kerry Urbond posits that it may be charges under 18 U.S.C. 871, which makes it a federal crime that knowingly and willfully mail or make any threat to kill, kidnapper, and inflict bodily harm upon the president,
Starting point is 02:16:02 vice president, or their successors. There may also be a charge under a trance mission clause. We now know how silly the indictment was, of course. C subsection 871. Is showing a picture of shells that say 86-47? Is that, I mean, that could be taken as a threat, but does it amount to one to you? In my view, it would very likely be viewed as protected speech if it was the basis of a criminal indictment. That alone would have a hard time standing up in court.
Starting point is 02:16:35 I've seen that reporting, and we'll have to see how they will have to see how they would. would stick that landing in an indictment, but just showing a picture like that would be a very difficult foundation, a very unstable foundation for prosecution, because right out of the gate will come a... Oh, come on, you petty fogger. Can't anybody talk about what fun it'll be to put nitwit Nero on the stand to talk about how water-boweled terrified? Wait, he's water-boweled anyway, but... No, wouldn't that be wonderful? and then just to wrap things up this evening
Starting point is 02:17:11 from the department of, yeah, sure, I wonder why this is all the way it is. We've had a sighting of Moscow Mitch McTurdle, McConnell. He sent an op-ed into the Washington Post, and they said, run it! In that op-ed, he hammered on Defense Department under Secretary Elbridge Colby. because Colby has been
Starting point is 02:17:44 delatory to say the least outright perhaps criminal in refusing to release $400 million in monies allocated and appropriated for Ukraine
Starting point is 02:18:01 in the war and of course Moscow Mitch had to find a way to blame Biden uh this is a continuation of the Biden administration of the military response to the conflict. I know other officers
Starting point is 02:18:18 who are eager to apply Ukrainians counter-dron and electronic warfare lessons to the U.S. Army's preparations for future conflicts. They can't learn from a war, however, if they can't properly observe it. The Pentagon, nevertheless,
Starting point is 02:18:35 continues a Biden administration policies significantly capping the number of military trainers authorized to assist Ukraine and witness the conflict up close. meantime, the Pentagon still won't tell us why it hasn't obligated and executed modest Ukraine investments. If we're serious about drone dominance, we shouldn't sandbag a relationship with the world's foremost drone experts. And if we're keen on remaining the world's preeminent superpower, we shouldn't let unelected defense officials undermine U.S. leadership and obstruct deepened in ties with Ukraine's innovative military and industrial base.
Starting point is 02:19:12 What gives? Well, you shit-stain, what gives is that you had a chance in 2021 to convict and tell your caucus in the Senate of the United States to convict Donald J. Trump and remove him from office no matter how few days he had left and forbid him and prevent him from ever holding office again. But you Mitch McConnell, you son of a bitch, you didn't do it. No, hell no. But that, that Mitch McConnell, is what gives. Fuck you. So that's the program. Oh, well, thank you, Jeremy.
Starting point is 02:20:05 Cowbell for Mitch is... The llama appreciates that, Jeremy. Thank you very kindly. And Kim said, I think it was Jeffrey. Tubin, not Turley, who was the sex pest, but I might be wrong. Well, I knew one. I can't keep my petty fogger straight.
Starting point is 02:20:26 And apparently, sometimes they can't either, but here we are. Thank you, Kim. And 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

By the way, Billable Rick says Mitch,
Starting point is 02:22:13 he delayed the trial until after Trump left office even though the Dems won a majority in the Senate in 2020. Yeah. Evil bastard. Thanks for the fact check there. Billable. Please stay safe.
