Head-ON With Robyn Roxanne Kincaid - Head-ON With Roxanne Kincaid, 29 June 2026, Great American Moran Monday

Episode Date: June 30, 2026

Nitwit Nero's pet SCOTUS sends him home with E. Jean Carroll's judgment against him intact and unchanged. Even they know he's a sexual predator. OTOH, they also upended a hundred years of precedent to let Cankles Caligula fire agency officials will-ye-nil-ye. Cool. Firing MAGATS is gonna be big fun in a few years! 

The password is linguistics. 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 transvility elitist right here, right now, on the head-on radio network. Brought to you in part by Cole River Mountain Watch,

who invites you to be part of the uprising against Mountain. top removal, CRMW.net. And now, from high in the hills of West by God, Virginia, here she is. Roxanne Kincaid. Well, howdy. And here we go, off and running on this 29th day of June, 2026. 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 merrywacky's any real-time Madcap Multimedia Extram. extravaganza, extravaganza, that is the horn chat room, a three hours in which this program is live, Monday through Friday, 5 to 8 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, 2 to 5 p.m., Pacific Daylight Time, all time zones in between and the Great Globe round, and whatever time it is when you're listening to the podcast,

if you are, in fact, a member of the podcasting contingent of the Horn Family Community Congregation, well, please feel three to pop on by. the old holler tree can be found under the chat room tab at headon.com. Ralphs is in the aforementioned chat room waiting for the arrival of the usual suspects. So pop by, have a good time. And, well, for the podcasting contingent, gosh, if you could take a moment to leave us a remark or review, a comment, wherever you download the podcast, it's always helpful in building engagement with the platform and the algorithms and the whatever's. They say it's helpful.

I love seeing your comments during the hours when this program isn't live. Hi, I'm Roxanne. It's Monday, a brand new broadcast week. And the last two broadcasts of June today and tomorrow, and then we enter July. uh it's uh after after an uh an unseasonably cool june it looks like we're going to go into july with uh fangs bared uh it is uh well the golden one went outside went out walkies and when he came in just um he he jumped up on the bed to sit in front of the air conditioner and i was just sitting there petting him and my goodness gracious his his His coat was hot.

It's probably a rough time of year to be a golden retriever. But, well, nice to see the warm weather, and it ain't raining, so not raining's a real bonus right now, so that things being such as they are. For those of you keeping up with the Dremah, I knew. I absolutely knew that the minute I stepped away from the phone, I would get the cup.

So here's what happened. On Saturday, I went into my local big box home improvement store, in this case, unpaid product placement. It was Lowe's. And good God, what did they put this? Trying to get my water bottle open. There we go. It was on with extreme prejudice. There we go.

I walked into Lowe's and asked around, you know, you know anybody does roofs? and a young lady took my name, my number, address, and said someone will contact you Monday or Tuesday. So I waited all day and I knew I was going to be away from the phone for a little bit of time. Well, I had to hold the call. And I saw the message they left and it was like, Daggummit, Taswell, Virginia. Now, Taswell, Virginia is. every bit of... I'd be better

off trying to find somebody in Charleston. That's an hour away. Taswell's two. Oh, so, never a dull moment. Keep plugging away.

Right. But every program here at the Horn begins with gratitude. And this program isn't a difference. So, thanks go out to our 29th, 28th, and 27th day

of the month, subscribers and contributors via PayPal. And by the way, I've had an absolutely delightful frenzy of bill paying. Thank you so, so much. But, yes,

thanks go out to Mark. Thank you, Mark, and thank you to Sue Munn. And thank you to Charlene and Rogues Island. Thank you Sharon. Thanks as well to Daryl in Houston. And Kim.

Thank you, Kim. thank you all for being partial sponsors of the program and helping to keep this long-running conversation on the air. I can never thank you enough. So, like I said, we've got two days of fundraising free radio, and I couldn't... It just makes me so happy. Oh, it makes me so happy not to interrupt the program with that. We'll get back to it on July 1st. Let me, I saw a couple of notes already coming in.

Randy Radar wanted to know who put your metal roof on. A guy who doesn't put roofs on anymore. He's long since retired. Not even sure he's still alive. But there's that. From Lee in New York. How about a summer trim? We've talked about that.

But his mama is. is not in favor and frankly uh... uh... uh... we'll be doing the thank you's for patria on the last day of the month which is tomorrow thank you for the reminder jeremy uh... i mentioned it and i think she's probably right because he would not

we'd probably have to knock him out to give him a summer haircut he wouldn't like that and it would take him a while to sober up and I just, he wouldn't be happy. So we'll just, we make sure he stays cool.

And he's got a couple of air conditioners to hang out in front of and lots and lots of cold water to drink. So, yeah, that. But, yeah, I know. It's a thought. It's a thought. But then again, I don't know what he would look like with a haircut. Because he's so, he's so majestic and his floof is so floofy. Yeah.

But anyway, anyway. Let's get the password out of the way. Because never a dull moment. I see, yeah, I'm screaming. Thank you. Yeah, Jeremy. Tomorrow is the last day of June, honey. Tomorrow is not the first.

of July. This is June 29th, Monday. Tomorrow is June the 30th, Tuesday. Wednesday is the first. Thursday is the second. The third day, the third is Friday. July the 4th is on Saturday. I can't believe that

Jeremy, has it been a long day, honey? Or are you just channeling your inner juvenile delinquent trying to see if you can get my brain to glitch? Either way. No, tomorrow will not be too late. Tomorrow is the last day of June. 26th, Friday, 27th, Saturday, 28th, Sunday.

Today is the 29th. You know how I know? TMI, I guess, but... Oh, Jeremy says, yes, long day. Sorry, my bad. No, just listen, it happens. It's happened to me. But two years ago, two years ago, this evening,

Victoria and I had our first date. So it's kind of a special day and it sticks in my heart and my mind. So that's how I know. But now at least, thank you, thank you, Jeremy, because now it's firmly fixed in my mind that I have to remember to do the Patreon thank yous tomorrow because we always do that on the final day of the month. No, there's a lot of momentous stuff. More Supreme Court news today, some that looks worse than others.

Oh, we're going to start the week with puppy pictures because it's Ferdinand's world. Hello, little Ferdinand. Oh, you are such a hate. handsome little boy. Oh, Ferdinand and the Melda are the fur babies of Matt and his husband. Yes, it is Ferdinand's world, Matt. Oh, my goodness. He looks positively regal there in the Bay Area sunshine.

That's just sweet. Oh, and I mean, that's big good news, too. said, and this is not fundraising, but Ralph said, I'm going to put up a $25 challenge for the Supreme Court rejecting nitwit Nero's appeal of the judgment that

E. Jean Carroll got against him. So the $25 go home, let's call, how do you think, Ralph's. Let's call it the $25 go home, you sexual predator challenge is on the

table if anybody does want to jump in with $25. By the way, Ralph's your challenge from Friday did get met over the weekend, the last $15 of it. Thank you so much. So, yeah, that's 50 more dollars to the good if somebody wants to answer with 25 or a couple of people want to do 10 and 15 or 5 and 5 and 5 and 5 and 5, and 5, et cetera.

because that is uh uh that is indeed one of the things that happened today oh my god you're vicious camel cardinal last day of the month jeremy might play holier than now and make fun of others for day drinking but we've never heard him

deny his barbiturate habit jesus fuck that juvenile delinquent and the snowmobile he rode in on oh my god asa merciless you kids play nice you too spy um brutal but then again

the brother the brother the brother deacon can be a a mite on the caustic side but yeah the Supreme Court today among other doing other things told Nittwit Nero to go home that they were not going to hear

his appeal of the judgment that E. Jean Carroll got against him for being a sexual predator, a sexual abuser, and, you know, a perpetrator of defamation of character. E. Jean Carroll has won. Now, I'm sure he'll continue to pay some godforsaken pettifogger to continue to lie. and continue to file frivolous pleadings, but it's, uh, it's over. He's busted, just like I said all along, and nobody cut him any slack. He can't sue anybody ever again for saying that he was adjudicated a sexual predator in the United States District Court by a judge and a jury.

the verdict was upheld on appeal to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court of the United States told him to fuck right off. Now go home and write that... Well, somebody will have to write it for him because, you know, he's dying. I'm more convinced than ever.

And, you know, for a long time, we've been talking about, and not we've been, but other people have been talking about, the measma that surrounds him. Shit and cosmetics and urine and... Right. Well, now we've got another...

We've got an idea. Why? Because that GLP3, you know, the current class of weight loss and diabetes drugs are called GLP-1s, that means they work on one of the three channels. These are GLP-3, this thing he's on, There's only one person in America who's on it, and it's him, GLP3, because it almost as a medical miracle, works on all three channels.

And if it ever, you know, if it survives its clinical trials, it could be a genuine game changer. It's not going to be his, it's not going to be that much of a game changer for him, though. He's too far gone. But among other things, explosive diarrhea is one of the side effects that has been noted from this GLP3. Right? Yeah. And what's her name, Natalie Harp, the girl who sends him little mash notes, telling him how much she adores him.

she was seen carrying a ginormous gear bag it kind of looks like well it looks like a great big adult diaper bag and he may have raged today about the decision regarding mail-in ballots and whatnot we'll get to that but you know damned good and well he was raging

about the fact that he is now forever and an non an adjudicated sexual predator Micah little Miss Cynic says call me when he faces

you know actual consequences is having to write a check to E. Jean Carroll for all of those tens of millions of dollars not a consequence this fucker lives lives and breathes

for the acquisition of cash and he turns it loose not at all willingly but now he has to that or he can try to declare bankruptcy again you know we got a saying here in the hills and that

saying is I'd rather die owing you than beat you out of it well at this point that's his only alternative so Micah sis that's a consequence the real kind and the kind that will make it that will absolutely eat whatever is left

slopping around between his ears and Micah is not getting up call me when he actually writes it she caches it and it clears. It won't even be covered in the news probably not but anyway apparently Natalie Harp carries his diaper bag y'ch

uh... Jeremy says it wouldn't surprise me in the least of this fat orange fuck whereas a portable oxygen maker went in private along with a cocktail of pills and liquid drugs to stay alive. And Jeremy adds, truth be told, new insulin was started today, and I was late because of traffic. I'm in a mood. Is it a mad mood?

Well, Jeremy, if you're in a mad mood and you have it with a little ice cream, it'll be a mad mood a la mode. Mm-hmm. Yep. Yeah, it's not just the cost of doing business, though. that's what happens, Micah, when you're doing business. This is the cost of being Donald Trump. This is the cost of trying to defame a woman that you sexually abused.

That doesn't go in the books as cost of doing business. But anyway, back to the password. Oh, Lee says the E. Jean Carroll decision. Now he should pay up. Oops, he left his checkbook in another presidency. He'll get back to you when he finds it. Can he settle in crypto? No.

No, I have a feeling that Robbie Kaplan, E. Jean Carroll's damn good lawyer, will insist on certified funds. And now that it's all over, see, that's the other thing. She can start taking action to collect on the judgment. And who knows where?

will she start at Maga Loco? Will she start at Trump Tower? Will she start at one of his tacky golf hotels? There's no telling. But wherever she starts, it's going to hurt. Whatever is left of his brain, it's going to hurt. Jeremy says, I gave up ice cream. It doesn't make any difference.

It was a funny little joke. It was an addiction. It was going to kill me seriously. I was a pint of night, even two, for almost 20 years. years. I know how that can go. And I guess since you quit, your best stay quit. But that Rebel brand is more expensive than Hagenaws or Ben and Jerry's still very good. And it is not, diabetics can pretty much eat it all day long, twice on Sundays. because sugar is replaced with substances known as sugar alcohols. They clear through the liver just like booze,

and it doesn't do anything to your blood sugar. But it's probably, you know, that's like me suggesting that, you know, someone who recovered from alcohol or is in recovery from alcohol, well, you know, you can have a non-alcoholic beer. No, no, no, no, no, no. Now, just stay away, but still, it's true. If you're in a mad mood and you have it with ice cream, it's a mad mood a la mode. Tough crowd.

Oh, well, thank you, Lee. Ramalama Ding Dong for your special one, Victoria. A first date, second anniversary acknowledgement. Well, thank you. That's very sweet. Only show is there so we could celebrate it today. But instead, I'm going to go in. I'm still looking for a conundice.

contractor. No, Randy Radar. I wish that guy was still alive, especially if I could count on him to be like, you know, sober. It's a tough call getting worked down and done around here anymore. No, no, we don't need one of those, Randy Radar. Mostly just need a roofer. But thank you. Thank you. Okay, we're going to get back to the password story yet. linguistics. The world is going to hell. There's a couple of stories like this. The world's going to hell. And by the way, I was so in hopes that Japan went into the half today up 1-0 over Brazil and I'm like, yeah, get them. And they wound up losing 2 to 1. But a darn, darn good effort by the Japanese side. Seriously, Roxanne, it's Moran Monday, and you're being the Moran here. Get to the story.

Anyway, well, we all know how much we love third way, Mugwumps. You'd think that they would know better than to do something like this. They don't. Years and years and years ago, uh,

Learoy Newton, Gingrich, amateur paleontologist and this was back in the late 80s, early 90s, promulgated and circulated a list among Republicans of the day of words not to use and how to use certain words like Democrat Party

emphasis on the RAT. It's stuck like glue and it remains a It remains an infuriating misapplication of language to this day. We have a new word list. The assholes at Third Way, who are just Republican light, have promulgated a list that they want Democrats to stop using. They say that, I'm not going to scream.

Not going to scream, Roxanne's not. I'm not going to screen. They've got a list of words they say are too woke. Well, there's a word I want, I want third way to stop using. I want that term to just disappear, that misappropriated racist use of a term that came up out of black culture that was turned around and turned into a weapon word against, against the very idea of being aware of the vile and vulgar racist history of this country.

Yeah, they've got to list. No more woke words. That's true. Kim says, I get where Mike is going with this. There's another lawsuit yet to come, which challenges the amount of judgment. I'll try to get a look at that other story in short order, Kim. looks like the head of Social Security Administration has been infected by Trump's undivestest in the world disease.

How pathetic. Let me open that. When we know that the maggots want more than anything else to just zero out Social Security and make every... I don't know. At this point in time, I used to say they wanted to put it on Wall Street. Now they may just want to put it on Calci or Polymarket or whatever. Why does that not want to open?

There it is. Social Security Administration delivers best performance in history. Commissioner Frank J. Bisignano said, Before I arrived, we're going to do this with a nitwit, Nero voice. Before I arrived, SSA had four different leaders in five months and was an agency in turmoil. Customers endured a failed service model under President Trump's leadership we're protecting

and strengthening Social Security. We're transforming SSA into a model of excellence, a digital first agency that meets and exceeds customer expectations for timely accurate service where they want to be met. In the last year, blah, blah, blah, blah, they sent a letter to the chairs of the House and Senate Appropriations Committee. There's no bottom to this stuff, Kim. And to go back to nitwit Niro's, the amount of the judgment thing. Yeah. But it's going to be hard for them to attack that when they've already upheld the underlying findings.

So we'll wait and see. Maybe I'll be wrong. I don't know. Back to the third way assholes. I'm going to do this story or bust in the process. The story comes from Politico, you know, whom Charlie Pierce refers to as Tiger Beat on the Potomac, and it reads that way. Democrats seem to think they can talk their way out of the political wilderness. Listen closely and you can hear it through the din of their all caps, Trumpian X-Speeds,

their hours-long Manosphere podcast interviews, and they're more frequent swearing. Really? We're going to get upset. Oh, dear. Since when did Politico become mismanors? Well, this is a made-for-print story because in a new memo shared exclusively, exclusively with Politico, the center-left think tank third way. There's your first cue that that is an outright lie. There's nothing center-left about third-way. God-dam, Joe Mansion,

Joe to the Mansion born was a third-way Democrat. And nobody's ever going to accuse him of having been center-left. Bologna. But they've come up with a list of words that third way suggest people simply do not say, yet they hear them from Democrats. And there are six categories, from therapy speak to explaining away crime, and the authors of this memo say that it makes Democrats sound like the extreme divisive, elitist and obfuscatory enforcers of wokeness.

obfuscatory you have the nerve to use a word like obfuscatory and you're telling other you're telling left-leaning democrats who are actually just centrist in the rest of the world not to use other certain words good god enforcers of wokeness well i hope to hell that we get woke if we can get a president into the into the white house in january of twenty twenty nine Of course, I think we all feel the same way

about a general Domnato Memorii executive order from day one. More on that in a minute. Let's see. What does Third Way not want Democrats to talk about? They don't want Democrats to talk about privilege. Third Way says that to please the few, we have alienated the many,

especially on culture issues where our language sounds superior, haughty, and arrogant. It's not their language. How dare you use the first person plural possessive pronoun? Our language. Fuck you, third way. How's that? Is that non-infuscatory enough third way? Fuck you with a red-hot poker and follow it up with a 15-foot-tall desiccated cactus.

Fuck you, third way, you bunch of mugwumps, you Republican light, pukes. So, Democrats are no longer supposed to use the word privilege, as in white privilege, male privilege. Uh-huh. Cis privilege. Heterosexual privilege. We're not supposed to use violence if it's got an adjective in front of it, like environmental violence. when just about everything being done to the planet under this godforsaken maladministration

is environmental violence I heartily invite the shitheads from Third Way to come on down here to southern West Virginia and let me show you a mountaintop removal site that will take 300,000 years to become a viable part of an ecosystem again if then. And let them tell me what language to use.

Let them tell me what language to use except besides environmental violence for what happens when entire neighborhoods get the same kind of brain cancer that only happens one in 100,000 people otherwise. Come on down, third way. Let me pour you an ice-cold glass of coal sludge. And then we'll talk about better ways to say environmental violence. We can't say that we're dialoguing. I'm not, we're dialoguing.

I can do without that. But it's not some sort of symptom of wokeness. It's a symptom of using Faulknerian language instead of Hemingway-esque. We're talking. We're discussing. What else? othering. We can't talk about othering anymore when this has been so far not quite two years of nothing but othering. What do you think Stephen Miller does every goddamn day of his miserable, best part of him ran down his mama's life, life, leg, life, besides othering? What is it when you say that you want a white America?

What is it when you say, the Haitians are eating the dogs, they're eating the cats? We can't say microaggression anymore, according to Third Way. We can't hold space for anymore. And, you know, I don't see that as being democratic language. That just sounds like, to me, that that just sounds like, No offense, millennials speak. Maybe latex speak. I don't know.

But holding space for, I mean, I've used it. Language constantly changes. Language evolves. And the school marms over at Third Way, tutting, about how we talk. Bullshit. You know what? You want to find out how people, what kind of language wins third way?

and this is the real problem, you know. They hear how the so-called democratic left, otherwise known as the unfortunately named Democratic Socialists, talk and how it reverberates, and the fact that there are progressive Democrats who are beating third way, middle of the road, go along to get along, bipartisanship

the milk-sop Democrats is what's really scaring them we can't say body shaming anymore Jesus I keep feeling like I'm gonna go further into this list and say

we should be saying retard more Politico has the nerve to mention Manosphere podcasts when this list is nothing but a list of words that people like Joe Rogain and Nick Fentes and

Little Benny Drywife Shapiro and Matt Dysphoria Beard Walsh and the rest of the Manosphere creepazzoids complain about all the time Why, hey, third way, why don't you turn that Manosphere shit off for a few minutes and listen to how people talk in America? We can't talk about subverting norms anymore.

Well, how else do you want to talk about completely disassociating. assembling the government of the United States and putting it through a fucking garbage disposal. Systems of oppression. We can't talk about that anymore. You know, this list could be... This list could easily have been lifted from a testicle-toasting Tuckio Rose Carlson broadcast. What do we do?

What's going on? What does it mean? Systems of oppression. Does that even mean anything? cultural appropriation. Can't talk about that anymore. Oh, goodness me, I guess Thirdway wants to put on their

feathered indigenous headdresses and go dancing around the room because that's cultural appropriation. But gosh, I remember when, what, the Oklahoma, was it the governor of Oklahoma's daughter who went

out in, I guess you'd call it redface? Yeah. We can't describe things as existential threats anymore. When that's practically everything that's wrong with the world right now are existential threats. Do the Neo-Mexi zoom dwebys at Third Way even know what existential means? and therefore what an existential threat is? Oh wait, I bet they could use it in a sentence, don't you?

Huh. All these progressive victories are an existential threat to our ability to be corporate middle of the road Mugwump, the Milk'sop Democrats. Radical transparency, that's out. Stakeholders are out. Can't talk about people who actually have a stake in the decisions that are made about their lives.

No, can't do that. Funny, we managed to talk about stakeholders during the Obama administrations with no collapse of the culture. We can't talk about the unhoused. No, because everybody in America just has a lovely home to live in, don't they, third way? You know, even if Even if it's a tent under an overpass Right, third way?

We can't talk about food or housing insecurity. Can we talk about hunger? Can we talk about homelessness? Third way? Or do we just want to pretend that those people don't exist? Oh, I think they're all for pretending people don't exist because we can't say cisgender anymore. to describe people who are perfectly happy with the sex that they were assigned at birth.

We can't... Oh, there's a big one. I think we know who's really running third way, don't we? Heteronormative and patriarchy. Oh, we can't use those anymore. Especially the women folk. The women folk definitely can't use patriarchy. We can't be saying, down with the patriarchal.

or the patriarchy makes everybody suffer. I don't know, maybe it makes the people in those patriarchal religions feel a little bit oaky. Heteronormative? To publish this list during Pride Month and say we can't say heteronormative anymore? Aw, are the straights okay? Do they want to be included in pride? Oh, and here's a fun one. uh this will uh this will this this will crawl all over uh certain members of this community

your humble osis included uh like fire ants democrats must never talk about dead naming so you know a woman who transitioned her name is let's say julia but if somebody wants to call her Fred well we're not allowed to complain about the fact that she's being dead named oh look they're erasing the queers oh well we can't even talk about LGBTQIA plus and we also can't talk about bi-pac

which are just convenient concentrations I mean, do the third way assholes really want us every time we talk about the queer community? Do they really want us to say, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asex, asex? Because I'm pretty sure that would send them right up a tree. Well, where's Tracy when I need her? Are you out there, Tracy? because I'd really prefer it if instead of the palest lady in radio talking about this,

I need somebody else to talk about how infuriating it is to have a bunch of privileged white, heteronormative cis people telling black folks, brown folks that they can't. use bi-pac, black indigenous people of color anymore. Oh, we can't talk about allyship anymore. That's the rule. That's the goal now. So if you are an ally to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual plus communities or a friend to the black, indigenous people of color communities.

Because we have to say the whole thing now, if you are an ally, you can't call yourself one anymore. See, that opens up the big tense so that the people who hate everybody can be allies too. We can't talk about incarcerated people. What does Third Way want us to call them? Jailbirds? Or maybe the Third Way people would just like for us to forget about them.

Yeah. We can't talk about the fact that the ice goons are disproportionately rounding up Bipak people. Oh, Christ Almighty. We can't talk about involuntary confinement. Matt Bennett, third way's executive vice president of public affairs, who really needs to spend some time in the real world, maybe working at a 7-Eleven. We're doing our best to get Democrats to talk like normal people

and stop talking like they're leading a seminar at Antioch. What we think language is one of the central problems we face with Normie voters. Normie? Normie? Matt Bennett? You little neo-maxizum dweeby? Normie? You used Normie after coming up with a list like that?

signaling that we're out of touch with how they live, think and talk. And the article goes on, or actually Matt Bennett went on and said, Well, in recent weeks, this has become a bit of a thing with comedians like Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman, highlighting how insane Dems can sometimes sound. Also elected officials like Sarah McBride and Andy Bashir are begging their colleagues to just be normal again. Oh, can't you please be straight? Can't you please not be trans? Can't you please be white?

And then speaking further on the topic, L'nai Erickson, really, Leney? I know trans girls who have chosen names that sound more normal than Lene, and believe me, we have our fair share of trans girls choosing names that ain't normal. People can't relate to something unless it has some edge about it. And we had shaved off all of our edges in an attempt to never make anyone, upset about anything. Oh, Lanay, honey.

That's not about shaving off edges. That's about making sure people are included in the goddamn dialogue. Oh, but don't worry, there's a caveat in the memo. We will never abandon our values

or stop doing things to protect those who need help, encouragement, trust. Second chance acceptance, a fair shake, and the opportunity to pursue life, liberty, and happiness. But as the catastrophe of Trump 2.0 has shown, the most important thing we can do for those people. Jesus, say those people does.

Those people and causes is to build a bigger army to fight them. Communicating in authentic ways that welcome rather than drive voters away would be a good start. Okay, is it okay if I start using motherfucker for people like third way because

I don't know you might want to check in with the Bipak community and they might be sitting there going these motherfuckers meanwhile the authors say we're not out to police language ban phrases or create our own form of censorship

truth be told we have published pipers that have used some of these words as well but when policymakers are public facing. That's one of the words, you dipshits! The language we use must invite,

not repel. Start a conversation, not end it. Provide clarity, not confusion. By the way, in case you were wondering, and I know you weren't because you already know this, you know where most of Thirdways money comes from? Come on.

Come on. Yeah, Republicans. I bet you Joe to the mansion born has given some money the third way. So I bet you so too has Kurtzian Kirsten Cinema. And then they said this, and this takes a lot of nerve. The Democratic Party brand is toxic across the contrary at this point. Why too many people? Enough that there's no way for us to win a governing majority without changing that.

I think that was, let me check here if that was the... Yeah, that was Lene Erickson again. or I don't know, perhaps it's pronounced Lanai, only misspelled, you know, the Hawaiian word for veranda, which is somebody else's word for porch. Well, it is more and Monday, isn't it? But is the Democratic Party brand toxic across the country? I mean, the Democratic Party brand as it relates to, the only thing in the middle of the road are yellow lines and dead armadillos

outfits like third way yeah they are toxic because they get nothing done guess who's not toxic look at the polling data and by the way none of this palaver I wonder if I can say palaver none of this palaver has been subjected to any focus grouping or polling, any sort of real world testing.

You know what this is? This is an attempt to do, this is an attempt to encourage Democrats to go on that fool's errand. You know the one. Where Democrats are supposed to go out and scratch their ass and pick their nose and pull their maga hat back and stretch the place where the hair is thin on their pointy little heads and bring Maga back into the fold. You know who doesn't have any, who doesn't have a hard time talking to working people? I don't have to agree with him 100% of the time. I don't know of any politicians that I do, but Bernie can go down into the most fevered maggot swamps of Alabama.

he's done it here in West Virginia and even with his thick northeastern accent he can get folks looking at him going well hell everybody told me you was a communist

you sound like my grandma and grandpa used to sound like when they talk politics might that be a clue Lanai Eric said part of the problem is that we were using words that literally no normal people used. So anybody who ever used BIPAC is abnormal, right, Leni Erickson? Anybody who ever used LGBTQ+, is not a normal person, right, Lani Erickson?

I wonder what kind of words you use at the swanky little cocktail parties you attend. I wonder if you've ever opened a bottle of beer with your own little hand. We were using words that literally no normal people used that were sticking to messages. We were sticking to messages that were so overly scripted that they basically sounded like nothing. Oh, well, I guess we know who they're in favor of. You know, I started the program on Friday with the story about that disgusting swat attack against Pete Buttigieg. Well, Thirdway has some favorites. They like Ruben Gallego.

Lanai Erickson. I wonder if she's kind of Eric Erickson of Red State. I don't know. Ruben Gallego is doing a great job talking about economic success. He goes into communities and he's like, I want you to have a big ass truck if that's what you want. Well, God knows. Those are the real problems America faces,

is the ability to have a big-ass truck. I'd like to go into communities and say, I'd like you to have a big-ass dinner every day if that's what you want, because that's what we need. You know, we're smack dab in the middle of something that my grandmother told me about when I was a wee one. The Republicans promised us three meals a day,

and they delivered. Oatmeal, skip a meal, and miss a meal. Big ass truck. I don't know who this Lenai Erickson is, but I'm guessing the last time she sat down to a bowl of rice and beans. Well, I'm guessing that's probably never, unless it was in some swanky restaurant that she had to pay $45 for it. Over at Third Way, they're also fond of Pete Booty Judge. Linai Erickson said Pete's doing a great job of going into spaces

that are maybe not hostile but unusual spaces for him to be in and having real conversations about complicated topics like transgender people in sports the last time I checked Pete Buttigieg basically threw trans athletes under the fucking bus and saying

you know I think you should have empathy toward people that are figuring this issue out for the first time and you should have empathy toward transgender kids and their families, but he's not afraid to say those things, and he's getting yelled at. He's getting yelled at, Lanai, because he's throwing transgender people under the bus, and he's a gay man, and he doesn't have the first fucking foggy clue about what it is to be trans.

Is first fucking foggy clue plain English enough for you, Lanai Erickson? And Andy the Shear of Kentucky, she says, is getting this so exactly right, talking about how these terms aren't even what those communities used to call themselves. Really? She said, I remember him talking about the fact that justice involved individuals

is not a thing that any justice involved individual would call themselves. They would call themselves incarcerated. Well, you can't say incarcerated. It's in your goddamn list, Linae! or they would call themselves convicted, or they would call themselves a whole lot of other things. But that's not what they or their families would call themselves.

So inventing terms that the people were talking about and trying to protect don't even use, and then enforcing that that's the only way you can talk about these people, is crazy. Bini, sweetie, nobody's saying that you have to use those terms. Those terms are available for people who use them. And things like carceral state, incarcerated persons,

pregnant persons are primarily used in specific specialized circumstances and nobody's using it out on the hustings you're beating a straw man half to death one eye but you got to understand the slant from a macro wrapper like politico

because in some ways third way is reaching the same political conclusion vice president J.D. Vance arrived at during his interview with Fox News's Laura Engram this week. I mean, look, the autopsy for the Democrats, some free political advice from the president of the United States is stop sounding like crazy people.

You couch fucker! Oh my God! You poor little trans girl so far in the closet, you're riding a lion through Narnia, Jady. Stop talking like crazy people? What is it when your orange Jesus daddy talks about, they're eating a dog, they're eating the cats.

What's that, Jady? Huh? What is it when your orange Jesus says words like Bigley and Cofifefe? Huh? What's that, Jimmy Dick? Good Christ. This shit's so exhausting.

See, they're not interested. Let's be clear. Pete Buttigieg, and I well, I welcome the input of the gay community, because I'm way too early in the process to opine broadly on it, but I don't think America, in light of the fact that Pete Buttigieg just got swatted for being alive and having children and being married to another man, I don't think America's, and I hate to say ready for, but I don't think America's, and I hate to say ready for, but I don't think, I don't think Emery and Marvelline are going to run out and

vote for Pete as much as I like Pete. And I would give anything to sit down and talk to Pete and give him a little bit of an education about trans people in sports, especially trans girls. And maybe mention along the way that none of these chuds

over on the right wing ever talk about trans guys in sports because trans guys are invisible. The maggots, the The maggots think a trans guy is a trans woman. It's wild. I really would.

I'd love a chance to educate him. And Andy, sure, Andy, you won the governor's election. I'm proud of you. You vetoed anti-trans legislation, but of course you live in the Commonwealth at Kentucky, where a mere simple majority will override your veto, and you knew it. You knew there was no political cost when you vetoed that legislation, because you knew was going to go through anyway. You know, if I was Andy Bashir, Ruben Gallego, or Pete Buttigieg,

I would denounce that entire article, because if nothing else, that is damning without, damning with faint praise. This is an effort to find somebody, they want a responsible Republican. You know, if they could reanimate the corpse of John McCain, they would do that. Jesus. And Reverbo nailed it. Oh God, just more of the maggot attempt to eradicate all their detractors.

Everyone who calls them out for who they are and what they want should just go away. They're so Sonsative. Oh, right, you are. A little long-eared friend. To Sonsetav. Sorry. A little long-eared pal. Jim Bacchus

is the genie. Smokey, front and center. Normal, says Reverbo. That's their new spin word. Well, you want to be like normal people, don't you? Even a cretan who dropped out of the fifth grade understands that. Otherwise, we'll think you're abnormal like progressives and liberals. I mean, where's somebody like me when they publish this crap

talking about sounding normal? Y'all? Normal is only a setting on a dryer or a town in Illinois. Not a mighty, but spot on, Rever. as ever. And Micah said, what makes me upset about this whole thing is they were all in the vote blue no matter who thing to force progressives to vote for candidates who they didn't agree with. But they very obviously had no intention of reversing that if we ever started gaining traction.

It's the primary reason why I'm pretty much done with the concept. The bad faith infuriates me, and there it is. And I will never vote for those people. And if that costs the election, well, then they can deal. If we don't get to live in peace, why should anyone else? No justice, no peace. I bet we can't say that anymore, can we, Micah?

I don't mind the ally business. Too many allies like to say that for the political capital, but then they want to scoff when it's time to do ally shit. Meanwhile, from Rye regarding motherfuckers, I already am. And yeah, Pete Buttigieg did throw trans people under the bus. That's why they like him. Also, why I will never cast a vote for him. Okay, fine, he could get an education, but till he does.

And, you know, I've thought about that from time to time. I'm not going to do anything about it, but it just... I've actually got the experience, the age, the education. I've thought about maybe trying to find a job on Capitol Hill as a senior policy advisor on trans issues. I don't have all the answers, but I think I could definitely put a dent in the stupidity because it's, I mean, here with a heat dome

coming down over the entire North American continent. It's not, as Burns Lawler once said, it's not the heat. It's the stupidity. Oh, how nice to hear from you. A note from Paul from Parts Unknown. I know it's been a while. I've been buried by work and life.

I finally got a little time off and can call in this week. Well, you know what? Paul, you can call in any time you want, and I don't care if it takes one hour or three. You are more than welcome and always have been. And I'd love to catch up on what life has been doing for you. You know, I've kind of taken, not taking it in vain, but I've name-checked you a couple of times because I'd just like your perspective on the various and sundry disease. diseases, illnesses, etc.

that are out there, and just how nervous we should all be. So anytime this week. Today's probably not great, Paul, just because I've just burned up an hour and 15 minutes being mad at Politico for being idiots. That's like being mad at a rattlesnake for having... rattles. Hey, Ralph, Ralph said I'm back from my errand in my head I was saying

normal's only a setting on a dryer. I know. I don't think, I mean, Third Way is one of the classic case of having more dollars than cents and I don't think they understand how cosmically comical they are.

Does anyone take them seriously? I mean, I'm sure there are some, you know, people inside the Beltway in D.C. who wear their, you know, creepy old men who wear their shirt collars open with a little chest hair poking out and some gold chains and talk with their tooth clunged. But in the real world, because I keep seeing, I keep seeing progressive candidates who do go out of their comfort zone and do talk in places where people are struggling, where people are hanging on by their fingernails. and their message resonates.

Mamdani is succeeding beyond his wildest expectations in New York City. And he celebrated the opening of public pools by jumping into the pool in his mayor and business suit and the maggots lost their mind and screamed, he's not appropriately dressed. Again, it's more and Monday, you know. Um, okay.

Uh, Jeremy sent this along. A giggle for my date mix up. If Charlie Kirk sees black people in heaven, will he assume they're DEI angels? I'm just joking. That fucker ain't in heaven. Um, and, uh, okay, check. All right, all right, you're working the word list corner, aren't you? Brother Deacon. Camel Cardinal says, uh, Jim, read Jimmy Dick, uh, also Roxanne.

couch fucker is not the preferred nomenclature futon fornicator police quality get third way on the phone find out where are those pictures I was supposed to see and from Sylvie

haven't seen Ms. Erickson's name in print so I'm wondering if it's actually spelled at La Nui Sylvie's so classy L-A-N-N-U-I L-A-N-N-U-I L-A-N-N-N-N- A.E. Sylvie.

Her parents named her after a porch. From Jimmy. The Great Northwest. More and Monday. Look, friends, stop holding back. It's okay. You can tell the family how you really feel about those people. Way to start the week. And Jimmy adds, normal. Maybe it's just me.

Normal is boring. Well, it's normal until you put your t-shirt in the dryer and set it on high. and you take it out and you could make a baby's onesie out of it. That's not so boring. It's more like infuriating. But we're into the second hour of the program. Let's run over the stress line and see who's there. Hey, welcome to the program.

A super quick double record time. I'm impressed. Well, I'm just nice that way sometimes. Hey, Jeremy. Yes. So I thought you gave you a little update. I had told you, I'm not to mention this Friday. I could mention a few weeks ago I was switching insulin.

This is an insulin store that made me mad today or heavy aggravated. So a couple weeks ago, I was down to my last vial, and I started it, and they figured based on the vial and what I'm using that amount at, when I have an appointment, which actually was July 1st. That's why I kept scraping tomorrow was July 1st. It's not obvious. So we figured that up, but anyway. So I had to go in because this is the new double-strank insulin.

And literally, so if you take 20 units for 40 carbs, if you did it with this, you'd kill yourself, basically. You could kill yourself real quick. So they had to reprogram my pump so it's accurate when it feeds me so I don't die in bed, basically, die in my sleep. So everything's fine. On the way there, I got into traffic both ways I was going, couldn't get there on nine, couldn't do this, couldn't do there. So I got there late, then I waited, but now it's all set. But what I didn't tell you Friday was when I initially filled my first pump off that vial, it failed on startup. And it's a little tiny pinhole you spurt this into through a needle.

So I couldn't get it all out. So I didn't have enough to make the extra week that they wasn't going to make it. So last day I filled up a pump and they can take 200 ML. It's probably less than that. I think it's MIL, so it's really a small amount, 200 millilit or something like that. And I'm pretty sure it had all 60 in there, if I'm lucky, because it was mostly air. So I texted the nurse this morning. I could listen.

I've got an issue. The nurse has to me Wednesday. But if it currently stands, I believe I'm going to run out tonight or tomorrow. And if I do, that means I'm going to go between 12 and 24 hours or 12th or influence my system whatsoever. That's a very bad idea. Even though I tell people, I'm not quite a type one. My body acts like one. I was diagnosed as well.

But without insulin, you go into DCA within 12 to 24 hours, which is basically your blood turns to an acid and starts killing your organs. Yeah, diabetic ketoacidosis, yes. Right. And you can die real quick from it, not knowing what's going on if you don't want the symptoms of it. So I just put that out there. Thankfully, she was able to schedule the end today. And she's just a hassle getting there. So I was a little fraggled when you get up in the back, no, I know tuberculosis.

I know what's you're talking about? Terminaloa's a fucking fruit. Oh, no, it isn't. She's right. It isn't. God, damn it. God damn it. I thought you were playing a game

crazy with me for me. I thought you should jerk my tip. What's you talking about? The note of the first, damn it. Then you explain, like, oh, God, I'm the moron. Here we go. Yep.

I'm on the barbitstuous, you're right. The barbituit. I'm the moron. Here we go. Well, since I've got you, let's share it. I can't admit when I'm wrong. Let's share, since I've got you and we're talking medication, let me share my fun little medication story.

I found out last week that and I mentioned it to A and he said my God you've got an estrogen dealer yes I got my estrogen because my insurance refuses to cover it because Merca

greatest country in the history of the world and earth now today forever in the universe under God amen I got it from a compounding pharmacy and my provider kindly messaged me last week and said, I just wanted to let you know you're not going to be able to get your life-saving medication

like you have been, so get busy, try to find another source. And, well, the short part of the story is I did, and I refilled my prescription today for half of what I was paying the compounding pharmacy for. Of course, I had to pay out of pocket, but still, bonus but here's the so but here's the punchline

to all of this and for people who have to deal with compounding pharmacies for any number of drugs that have nothing to do with gender affirming care or anything apparently there's been a new

and I don't necessarily know that it's a bad rule compounding pharmacies are having to shut down and retool and redo all of their safety and production protocols. Why, Jeremy?

Because off-brand GLP1s have become so popular and these compounding pharmacies are cranking them out so fast that apparently there are safety issues. But it's all assembly line, you know, lab stuff. so because America can't get and and these are you know i don't know if you've seen them up in vermont but hell we have them down here in west virginia the same way 10 15 years ago we had pain clinics we have weight loss clinics where you go in you pay the doctor a fee and he

provide you with GLP-1s. Only it's not Monjaro or OZMPIC or anything. It's stuff coming from compounding pharmacies. And so

the people who are you know, like well, the Magaloko face people, they're using it as basically a stand-in for

cosmetic surgery and getting cosmetic surgery, of course. have created such a demand on the system that the labs are fucking up because when I first heard about it it's like oh no this is some anti-trans shit isn't it no it wasn't it was kind of refreshing for once it was not it was a result of people abusing the system

and trying to get on the latest pharmaceutical bandwagon but again good news happy ending I got my script today, and it was half of what I was paying to the compounding pharmacy. We have several compounding places in my town. One deals with just human medication, one with animal medication, and I only know this because my mom had to get a prescription compounded for her two little dogs, and it's essentially human medication. It goes between both species.

It works the same, I guess, for something. And she tried to go to the vet compound in place. They said, oh, no, no, that's human medication. We can only do a veterinary medication. So she had you over the, or maybe it was something like that. I think it's the exact opposite. For some reason, they could do it, but they don't normally do it, but it's medication humans take, too.

I forget what it was. But anyway, that's not the point. My second part of this call, I get off, well, again, it's still about me, kind of. Is it going into today? I felt fairly confident about the Supreme. court that we were going to get a decent ruling when it comes to citizenship status for people who came here as minker babies essentially. After today, that's a shaking a bit.

We got a bunch of good rulings today. I think they're going to hammer us like a motherfucker from our horrible rules. You're not the only one who feels it because, you know, I mentioned this last week when we were talking about those horrible immigration rulings and why. Sammy Bad Breath got so upset it was because Kagan and Sotomayor had broken Omerta

and they had dared to criticize him after they had agreed to do one thing while you know but y'all are you know you all aren't going to be too mean to us while we shit on the immigrants okay so I don't

I don't know I hope I'm wrong I still have a fairly strong belief they're going to do the right thing just because it's such a big thing. But what we saw today was a bunch of fuck used to Trump. So we're going to get at least one pump tomorrow we do not like. I just hope it's not right.

Well, remember last year, was it last year or the year before? They didn't even let June 30th be the deadline. They bolted town and then they issued their decisions shortly. But it was before July 4th, but after June 30th. It's not yet necessarily guaranteed that we get that tomorrow. I have a feeling more than likely tomorrow the thumps will be the trans community. Oh, that's, yeah, they might let the 14th Amendment alone, but they're going to find a wet because, you know,

that's their favorite hobby is fucking trans people, which, curiously, is something a lot of Republicans like to do, especially Republican men, you know, while they take away our rights. I was really happy to see, I was really happy to see Eugene Carroll finally come to a good end, where he can't avoid it. And he will pay. Sure, it'll take time.

He'll pay eventually. But understand, but understand, Kim in New York is right. There's another one coming about the amount of the judge. Yes, there is. Right.

So. Well, no. That's in the $500,000 case. So the Eugene Carroll case has been settled. That one is, that one is to be paid up. The one is the big one in New York one. That was the one that was the one,

the big one that he was being held to. The 500,000 inches, that's the one that still isn't decided. Eugene Carroll is done and locked in. Are you sure? I'm almost positive. Okay. We'll have to. Pretty sure it was the year.

We'll put the horn ad hoc legal research department on that. I hope they're... You just keep A-Sat out of this, God damn it. You're watching. He's going to try, damn you, Lisa. Oh, yeah. Anyway. Yeah, I was actually messaging with Asa the other night when the Egypt versus Iran match came on.

It was in Seattle, and they played the Egyptian National Anthem. Then they played the Iranian National Anthem, and the tasteless fucks in the stand booed the Iranian team. And I'm like, you know, God damn it, act like you're somebody. Yeah, there's a lot of dumb people out there. I mean, I saw someone today in my local news story, when the Eugene Carroll story popped up, and you could tell this guy as a guy who lives in his mom's basement and why I watch his trancorn,

but he said, as a slippery hill, I wonder what evidence they have to prove what you did. I hope it isn't just hearsay. This could change a lot of things. You think it's bad now, wait until this gillic is cranked up, talking about how they're going to come after a white man for sexual. And I didn't even comment it, but, I mean, it was an automatic and magic response.

I could read things. They're like, this guy is hiding something. He's nervous. This is confess. and the open to everybody. That's what this is. And by the way, Ralph's just wrote in and said, but Roxanne, there's still the $83 million defamation case.

Yes, there is. But it's going to be awfully hard. You're talking about right now. No, this was the $5 million case. I thought the guy, I thought they all could have combined one in terms of almost $100 million with the, but I'm still fairly sure the one that's ruling the air the Trish James settlement. The judge agreed that it could be changed. It probably is outrageous to be what it was.

I think he was making more like $250 million instead of 500 or whatever it was. Whatever it was. $250 whatever it was. Yeah, that's a state court thing and it's a hell of a bigger hurdle to get from state court into the Supreme Court than it is to just go up through up the ladder from U.S. District Court to Circuit Court of Appeals to Supreme Court. And I think the $83 million defamation case is still out there. Unfortunately, I think we're going to live through this to the remainder of his term, whether it be six months, a year, four years, everything he does not like, he's going to push to the Supreme Court hoping they'll bail him out the last second. This will be his operating, whatever you call it. But anyway, I'm going to clear the airlines.

I've got to go back to work. I just thought it was a little bit cranking, a little bit confused at first. But everything's fine again. back when I need to be and hopefully this will change my blood trigger overall double the potency and they think it'll work well for me so we'll see we'll let you know what I've been a month we'll keep fingers crossed for you Jeremy you take care alright bye

Jeremy up in Vermont the idea of someday being on insulin just scares the living shit out of me it is it is more in Monday and you don't get oh this is so good I've got to find the clip. Yeah.

You know, we've remarked from time to time that it must be difficult for Pedro over there at Washington Journal to keep from just hauling a bottle of a hooch out of his bottom desk drawer and taking a swig in between calls on that program when, you know, maggots call in before the meds kick. can. Yeah. So, earlier today, Jim

from North Dakota Stan rang in on the maggot line to complain about well, I'll let Jim describe it, because it's Moran Monday

and, well, Jim's a moran. Poor Pedro. Poor Pedro. Vote for Pedro. We'll take place to celebrate the 250th birthday of our country. And you can watch along, call and give your opinion on what you're seeing.

It is a dedication of ours this July 3rd through 5th as we celebrate Independence Day. And you can follow along as well on our various platforms. But for now, we'll start with where you're at when you comes to your opinion of the United States as it stands today on its eve of its 250th birthday. Republican line in North Dakota. We'll hear from Jim. Jim, hello. What do you think of where we're at?

Hi, Pedro. Can you hear me? I can. Go ahead. Great. Well, first of all, I remember in 1976. I was 12 years old in a little town outside Philadelphia, in a little county that was very rural then called Bucks County. Little County, very rural. I'm pretty sure in 1976, Bucks County was still pretty well to do. How did you get to North Dakota, Jim?

up in the northern part and I have a picture, an old Instomatic or one of those little Polaroid pictures that my mom took of me. All the kids, in the spring of 76, our moms made us these revolutionary war outfits and most of the moms were still home and could sew. And I had a little toy musket and a toy powder horn and I went on the bus. And imagine today if I went on the bus with a musket on my shoulder, the SWAT team would be call. Well, your social security age now, Jim, so I'm guessing, yeah, probably don't be walking around getting on public transportation with a musket, but I'm getting ahead of things here. Jim's got a lot

more to say. Also, my country at that time had 205 million people. Now we're at 300. Notice it's Jim's country now, and we just live in it. Forty-five million, and most of that has been added by third-world migration starting in the mid-90s, so it's only been about 30, 40 years of that overcrowded nation. You said 77% of the people said something, I forget what that was, Pedro, something about the founders would disagree with where we're at. They would be disappointed. That was the response from the Gallup poll, just to give you that headline. But go ahead, please. They certainly would when you...

Yeah, but it's why they'd be disappointed, because everything that they thought they were protecting against the framers. the Constitution is out in the compost heap now. But let's not get in the Jim's on a roll here. You looked at all their writings about what they felt about immigration too.

They didn't really the very first naturalization laws that they put in place in 1790 said you had to be a free white person of character to become a citizen. Yeah, dumbass. And the Constitution said you had to be a

white man in order to cast a vote. Your point, Jim? They had no intention of flooding this nation with millions of people from the third world. And the founders never, they all wrote about that. They never would have allowed this to happen, open borders. And I think they'd be disappointed. Yeah, there's one of your first clues that Jim's a dip shit. There never have been open borders in the United States.

That's entirely manufactured. was entirely manufactured by the maggots for easy consumption by the people who picked their teeth with their toenail clippings when they looked at those inner cities and things right now and um so people say pedro how horrible of a thing they must have been a bunch of white supremacists well no not actually well yes actually they were white supremacists they wrote a constitution that said that people people who were enslaved were three-fifths of a human being, Jim. Jim sounds like he's, well, yeah. Not really, Pedro, because whoever built the clubhouse decides who the members are going to be.

They founded the country. They had every right to decide who was going to come here. And they made that decision. And in 1790, the census said that we were 99% white Anglo-Saxon, and we were that. Really? We were 99% white Anglo-Saxon? I'm pretty sure by the time of that census, there was more than 1% that was Scots? That's not Anglo-Saxon. That's Celtic.

No small number of Irish. Hell, the Swedes tried to colonize Delaware. Shit ton of the... Dutch and New York gym there in North Dakota. And, well, you know, people seeking religious freedom from central Europe, Germany. You know, my ancestors. Right. Way all the way through the 1960s.

It's only in the last 40 years of Democrats flooding this country. We see all the mess, all the disunity. and it's going to only get worse without assimilation. There will be no... Well, Jim, buddy, who was flooding this country before the Democrats? Who was bringing over the slave ships on the Middle Passage there, buddy? Why did the enslaving white men have to create the three-fifths? rule. If there just weren't that, if you're just that weren't that many people who weren't

white and Anglo-Saxon. Oh, wait, Jim, I understand, buddy. They weren't people. You fucking Cleggle. Oh, no unity and we'll have no nation without people coming together assimilating into the core culture. Jim in North Dakota there. This is Victoria and Connecticut. Democrats line, your opinion of America at 250 years. Okay. Go, Linda, in Connecticut. it go okay take take the camera off pedro pedro needs a pay pedro needs a drink mm-hmm daddy drinks because jim calls years old thanks for calling go ahead yeah good morning pedro you know as a person of color i wonder how you feel now see she had not apparently gotten the memo from the third way people She's not allowed to be a person of color.

Because Third Way says normal people don't talk that way. She's obviously Abby. Abby normal. With that previous caller and how he defined America 250 years later. It's disgusting. I'm disgusted at this country. I can also remember 1976. and how that whole year it seemed like we were in celebration mode.

That's not how we are today. And why is that? Because we have a white supremacist in office who is riling up all the other white supremacists like that North Dakota calling. Like Jim, go, lady, go. This country is divided. This country is nothing like it was. 50 years ago. 50 years ago, we were on the heels of civil rights legislation that is now being repealed.

Today, we are waiting on a corrupt Supreme Court to define what birthright citizenship was. The North Dakota caller alluded to the Constitution in 1790 being for white males. there were also African-American people in this country in 1790. They were in enslavement. Okay, the caller and people like him want to return to that station in 2026. We cannot continue to sit and act like this business as usual. It's not. This 250th anniversary is on the hills of a whole bunch of division.

It is nothing like it was in 1976, and people are not celebrating. Okay. Okay. We'll go to break. Where's my drink? Somebody, somebody pour me a martini. Fuck that. I don't care.

Just give me the bottle in a swirly straw. You ever wonder about the actual politics of the people who host Washington Journal? Stephen Georgia Stan, if you're out there, did you happen to catch that live this morning? I wonder if Todd did. And by the way, Mike says, I don't want to be part of Jim Bob's culture. You know, and the funniest thing is about that culture Jim Bob was so fond of back then. Well, everything about that culture, with very few and limited exceptions

was built by people who weren't those white property-owning men. The alleged property did all the hard work. Kind of like George Washington being famous for brewing beer when he couldn't tell a scoop of barley malt from a scoop of cream of wheat. But, you know, here we are. This happened over the weekend, but it's more in Monday. and I want to make sure that we don't miss out on it. Did you see the new interior of the passport, the American passport?

This comes from the Department of You Really Can't Make This Shit Up. Oh, wow. Hey, Haley, nice to hear from you, sis. Roxanne, I'm listening live and hearing this joined in progress. This Jack Fuck Matt Bennett, remember from the third way outfit, green lighted the Michael Dukakis tank photo op in 1988, and this is from their own fucking website. How is that son of a bitch even allowed near a middle school student council election? I mean, did he also, I don't know, Haley, did he also put John Kerry in the, the sperm suit.

I was having a conversation with Micah the other day when she said something that I was saying back in 2004. Back then my ambition was I want to be a Democrat. I want to be a high-level Democratic consultant.

Because they get paid shit tons of money. And all they ever do is lose. And here we are again with third way. Haley thanks for catching that. That's God of mighty.

The Washington generals are trying to plot a campaign strategy against the Harlem Globetrotters. Me. No, going back to the passport photo, it's got the scowling picture of

nitwit, Neuro, leaning over and scowling at you with an American flag background. They had a high old time with it on MS Now earlier this over the weekend and I can't not share. Kimberly Atkins Store, David Drucker, are back with us. Okay, before we delve back into the more serious issues,

let's talk about Donald Trump's new commemorative passport. This features a picture of the president leaning over, scowling with a signature scowl, but it also has a new catchphrase on it. His message, welcome. but be good Can you welcome? You're all the passports for it. I mean sure, we should all be good whether you're coming here or not.

I don't I mean what do you do with that? But passports are for us. The passport. Does he understand what a passport does? It doesn't appear. A passport allows you to try, I mean, to leave the country. To leave the country. So that, I mean, this is a beautiful.

For me. Yes, yes, ma'am. Some of us understand that better than others because we can't get one. Can you imagine? We're all immigrants until he says we're not. So maybe that's what that's... Can you imagine? I mean, I can't imagine traveling abroad and presenting that, you know,

proudly and just wondering what the impression that I'd be making the first minute that I said. But I don't know. I'm going to see. Well, there are a lot of things that are so interesting about this presidency. And I think it makes you think of you think of... about all of the other presidents and how like the White House is small because we didn't want it to feel like a palace. The Air Force One is kind of raggedy because like it wasn't supposed to feel like a luxury cruise when you are. Right, we say Mr. President

as opposed to, you know, your majesty or something. Exactly. Like all of this was because the presidency is Article 2. The president is not supposed to be a king. He's not supposed to be alive and on money. He's not supposed to be on the passport. That's not what the role is. but I digress for now the USPS because I want to get back into that and

yeah I mean save it but it will come but be good he doesn't know the difference between a visa and a passport and neither does anyone

underneath him oh Jesus Christ this just came across my at my desk there's a new frenzy for clemency out there because apparently nitwit Nero's people are considering issuing 250 pardons for the 250th birthday

a White House official said well you know it may never reach him oh come on it'll reach him if somebody wants it to reach him And then, you know, there's... Oh, the crowds at the great American state fair. Oh, massive crowds. Obama never had anything like that.

Biden never had anything like that. I swear if it rains hard, the whole thing will collapse. His so-called arch has a pair of Reichseidler on it. and what appears to be an angel that might i don't know is it charlie kirk is it the angel maronite i i got nothing but it was tragedy tragedy did strike it's it's awful um because well part of the part of the celebration had to be uh cancelled yeah robert van winkle star turn on the great American state fair stage. It got rained out.

Yeah. It's just, well, I feel so bad for the people who showed up who were just dying to hear. Dum, doom, doom, do, do. Only it's not Queen and David Bowie. It's vanilla ice. The fair posted an excrement on excrement saying, due to inclement weather in the area,

the Freedom 250 Great American State Fair and Fifea World Cup 2026 fan zone that nobody was going to. We'll be closed for the rest of the day, Friday, June 26, 2026. The safety of our guest, staff, and partners remains our top priority. We're actively monitoring conditions, and we'll provide updates. as they become available. God says fuck no to Vanilla Ice. I don't know who this person is, but I have to follow him. Wolfgang Bauer on Blue Sky said,

Weep with me, for Vanilla Ice has canceled his Freedom 250 concert at America's State Fair. Aw. This thing is a shit show from top to bottom. And, oh, God. I mentioned earlier, Natalie Harp. But Margot Martin is another one of the young women in his orbit. Nitwit Niro said that she was,

My Most Beautiful Assistant. She shared a video on social media earlier today. It was a video of Nitwit Niro walking along with Doug Bergum in Lafayette Square, which he is am beautifying. And the people who watched the video said, Well, they must have really jacked up the drugs for him today. They had him walking on wet bricks. Remember he had to hang on Narendra Modi on dry ground.

Little Margo. Has he creepered on you yet, Margo? Would you mind? And apparently, Nitwit Niro lost his shit earlier today over the mail-in ballot case because the Supreme Court did in fact rule today, that mail-in ballots that were mailed and postmarked before election day could be counted if they arrived late they threw a fit for ruling today in regards to

the mail-in ballots and what comes next for the SAVE Act after today's ruling well because of the mail-in ballot ruling which was a little bit surprising gives people more time to vote illegally let's say but the SAVE Act is even more important. And you know, odd as it may sound, I guess you could say that there's a little bit of truth in what he said. Because down in Alabama, Senator Tomah the Tuba, who is a resident and domiciled in the state of Florida, and has not been an Alabama resident and domiciled therein for the six years required for all candidates for governor, well he he says that he voted by mail when he voted in florida back a couple of years ago so there's only one there's only two possible answers he's a floridian or he's uh he's committed voter fraud

of that clip someone called recovering journalist said if it's a weekday afternoon in america and nodding sagely and respectfully and pretending it's normal for a president to say things your family would put your uncle in a padded room with non-toxic crayons and a ball of string if he said them. But I want to take a minute with that case, the mail-in balloting. This is one of those moments where a victory may turn out to be something besides that. because our most puissant dread sovereign supreme catholic majesties are not just sitting up in their ivory tower oblivious to what's going on in the political world below no they pay attention like they're looking into a scanning electron microscope

do you recall last week the clip we played of the postmaster general saying that if the new U.S. Postal Service rule goes through, that they will refuse to deliver ballots mailed if states have not turned over their voter rolls to the United States Postal Service, something United States Postal Service has no business possessing? Well, the minute that I saw the story cross earlier today about the ruling, saying mail-in ballots could be counted if they were postmarked prior to election day and received thereafter. I mean, it just makes sense. But I immediately thought, yeah, devil's in the details.

Because, well, they could be counted if the Postal Service has delivered them, which the Maggot Postmaster General has no... intention of doing. That's one of their they've got fallback trenches after fallback trenches, after fallback trenches, after fallback trenches, after fallback trenches.

That's why this rule has been promulgated just in case they lost this case. And here we are. They're corrupt as the day is long. And look, one of the cases was more than repulsive.

The Supreme Court basically shit-canning a century of precedent under a case called Humphrey's executor and saying that the president can fire willy-nilly for any reason or no reason any member of an executive branch agency board that he sees fit with a single exception in another case

and the minority in the case wrote that this sets a dangerous precedent that it allows the politicization of agencies that were specifically designed not to be political and they're right but I'm ever one for making trying at least to make lemonade out of lemons yeah I sit down at a restaurant I never I never get soda and I don't drink any alcohol if I'm in a restaurant. And, you know, because I try to avoid sugar and whatnot, I get a glass of ice water and a nice bowl of lemon wedges and ask for some equal or, you know, some blue packet stuff or yellow packet stuff and literally make lemonade out of lemons at the table.

And it's freak. And so that was kind of the image that I had in mind when I saw this ruling come down. Okay, fine. The president can fire anybody he wants to. Let's get a Democrat in office. Let's get a Democrat in the White House in January 20th, 2029. and let's just add firing every appointee of Donald Trump to that Domnatio Memorii first executive order.

Brendan Carr, I don't care if you've got a seven-year term. You're fucking out of here. Every single maggot. I mean, this could theoretically work to do it. It's going to create chaos because everybody's going to get fired every time, every time a new administration changes, but, well, what the hell does Fappy Thomas care about that?

He's struggling to stay alive, too, and I don't think they're giving him the GLP3 drug that's making Nittwit Niro shit himself. That reminds me. I'm just curious about something. Hold on. Okay, it's not him. You know, that GLP3, that NITWITNRO is probably the only person taking.

I was wondering for a minute if it could possibly be, uh fappy thomas but he's only 78 and the the the company said it's being given to a 79 year old and course that was back before uh nitwit nero turned 80 i was just checking yeah uh george in course gold vote by mail keeps saying the ruling says ballots must be postmarked before election day i've been hearing that valid ballots include those postmarked on election day i think i was trying maybe i said it in artfully george They can't be postmarked the day after election day. But if they arrive after election day and are appropriately postmarked, they can be counted.

But the point of this rule, proposed rule, its postal service, is to undo all of that because, you know, California, Oregon, places like that, don't have their own postal systems. so that but as as billable rick and tracy and others have informed me you know there are drop boxes you can drop it you know remember when the drop boxes were attacked by the maggots they're trying to make it harder to vote but anyway to go back to the business so fire them all every every maggot in government because if you go back you remember how the loyal bushy's bragged that they had left sleeper

cells inside the government to try to hamstring Barack Obama? Well, with today's ruling from the Supreme Court, you can get rid of all of them. Every last damned one.

So again, lemons, lemonade. It would have been better, had the Supreme Court left well enough alone. During oral arguments for this case today, old balls and strikes Roberts said that, well, home for his

executor is a mere husk of a doctrine anymore. In other words, telegraphing from the bench that they were going to take it out behind the barn and beat it to death with an axe handle. Which they did. Don Fulery's arch, Jimmy in the Great Northwest, said, I looked it up again, and I'm just wondering, where will they put the golden honey buckets?

I swear, the whole thing looks like it's made out of paper mache. I don't even think when it comes time to take it down. I don't even think it'll take a bulldozer. It'll be worse than, because Victoria and I watched the documentary on this last week, it'll be worse than the last day of Woodstock 1999. The only thing is, there aren't nearly as many people at the Great American State Fair is where at Woodstock 1999 to tear down all the murals and the fences and the building and it's set fire to the stage and whatnot,

not suggesting that would be a good thing. Woodstock 1999 was a shit show. Oh, thank you, Sandy. Come to Seattle to cool down. We're having highs in the 60s to low 70s, and at night it's around 54 degrees. That's how it was for the last couple of weeks here. It was absolutely heavenly.

And then, I'll be surprised. But, you know, to get up into the 80s and 90s is absolutely crazy and unheard of, or at least it used to be. as far down as the Bay Area. That's a lovely suggestion, I was handy. From Lee in New York, mail-in ballots. Did that ballot come from a Republican-leaning area?

Send it through. Elsewhere? Give us a couple of weeks to check of it's legitimate. Sarcastically. We have to be careful. Oh, I know. I know. I know. And Ralph's, yay, for vanilla ice being canceled.

Remember, he said, Well, hell, I'll play anywhere. I just want to make the music, man. I'd play it in Pyongyang. Might have better luck there, Robert Van Winkle. He does know what a visa is, Lee says. It's an alternative to Capital One,

once in your wallet. Unpaid product placement. Thanks, Lee. Oh, what else? And by the way, this is a conversation radio program. Feel free to chime in if there's something on your mind, or I've left something out that you think needs to be addressed. The stress line is, of course, 844-843-4676, named after the immortal bill, Mr. Stress Miller.

I found, I ran across my CD of the Mr. Stress Blues Band and put that on over the weekend. Oh, my goodness gracious. Talk about an American original. But, yeah, 844 The Horn, if you want to do a little conversation radio, I'll feel absolutely free. Now, what was Miss Mika was having a giggle earlier this morning on my former filthy morning habit, the morning zoo crew talking about the coverage by Fox News TV Radio Rwanda of the Great American State Fair. You know what rhymes with state fair? Gertrude Stein.

No, not Gertrude Stein, but what she said. There's no there there. President Trump is touting crowd size at the American State Fair, claiming at least 45,000 people attended his speech, kicking off America's 250th anniversary festivities in Washington, D.C. But reports from the ground tell a different story. NBC News puts the crowd closer to 1,000 people, writing, quote, based on, there you go, estimates by our team on the ground. Nowhere near 45,000 people were present. The Washington Post reports, quote, the crowd thinly covered an area about the length of the National Museum of American History, smaller than some more outdoor movie screenings.

And the New Republic writes, quote, dozens of attendees Wednesday were seen flocking toward the exits in the middle of Trump's address, which was meant to kickstart the two-week event. Despite the poultry crowd size, one news station insisted that there were more people attending that event than met the eye. Take a look. And sometimes the pictures really don't tell the full story because if you look behind us, you see, okay, there are a couple hundred people back there. But the truth is, when you make your way over here and you're in this lot, you're in a wash of people. Oh, my God. Ouch.

Okay, so if you can see what's going on right behind me, big, open, grassy area, conservative commentator, Jonah Goldberg responded to that, writing quote, if only they had employees who knew how to operate cameras that could capture these images, he describes. Let's bring in President... Yeah, let's don't. And I got to giggle over the weekend.

I had a message from David out in San Francisco who sent me a photo of the empty national mall. All there is is that one pathetic Ferris wheel. No tilt a whirl

No nobody guessing anybody's weight. I'm sure that wasn't there for a reason. You don't want people guessing. Now you get the idea. No scrambler. No, no zipper. No bumper cars, no cotton candy, no candy apples, no caramel apples, no peanuts on the caramel apples.

No hand, we went over that last week, no hand-dipped corn dogs to cause embarrassment to Republicans who decided that they really wanted a corn dog, but, yeah, brown bananas when you want to eat a banana, but don't want to look. Never mind. You know, that reminds me, though, it's an emotional. mortal video now and it's real it's not AI there's a right wing

blue check mark over on that platform that used to be Twitter who calls himself Gunther Eagleman I may have even remarked on this in the past he's sitting apparently in like a Starbucks and somebody recognized him

and started taking video he's so again so far in the closet he's writing a lion through Narnia. He's so terrified of his own sexuality, apparently, that he can't be

seen eating a banana like an ordinary human being. And instead, he has this long, long, skinny spoon. He's got the banana peeled. By the way, he's got a blue shirt on with a pink sweater, the sleeves of which are

tied loosely about his neck. That's right. Pink. and blue on a white guy. We know what those colors are. And he's peeled the banana, and he's eating the banana with the long spoon, so no one will have to see him eating a banana like an ordinary human being. But anyway, David in San Francisco

sent me a picture of the very, very empty national mall at the Great American State Fair and channeling the memory of the memory of the... the late great Scott Marinoff said, oh, there's a lot going on down here. Oh, you made my morning, David. To which I responded, free hot dogs and balloons for the kids.

Thanks, David. That was perfect. It really is kind of pathetic, though, because what the lady from Connecticut, was her name Linda, said this morning on Washington Journalist, The juxtaposition of this shitty attempt at celebrating a Susquehicentennial is just really flat and jarring and off-key relative to our bicentennial celebration. Let's see, nitwitneros 80, something.

He was 30 years old at the bicentennial celebration. Hack, he probably didn't even know what was going on. He was probably trying to have sex with some child. Or maybe he was in the middle of another bankruptcy. Or maybe it was his first bankruptcy. He probably already run through all the money as Daddy Fred gave to him. But it was a hopeful time. We were out of Vietnam.

We had survived Watergate. Gerald Ford was a sort of nondescript caretaker president. We were in the middle of a presidential campaign in which Gerald Ford would be ousted. But it was exciting. It was fun. I remember in my hometown, every fire plug was painted red, white, and blue to look like a revolutionary soldier. Plags everywhere. There were no banners that looked like an epitaph, you know, USA 1776 to 1976. I got to take a picture of that before it's too late.

American epitaph. United States, 1776 to 2026, we had a good run. But as Reverbo says, the money was just too good. Oh, and by the way, secret message to Reverbo. Did I mention this? I did buy the Ken Steakhouse Russian dressing. I have that wonderful, ultra-thin Jewish rye. I have some pastrami.

I have some coleslaw. I have some lovely Havardi. And that is going to be a sandwich for the ages, Reverbo. Absolutely for the ages. somebody is on the stress line let's pop over hey welcome to the program yes this is uh jim from from north dakota well hi jim it's how dare you make fun of my phone call on washington urinal you know i mean you know i was thinking you know i was thinking you know i was thinking of you when I was playing that clip because I didn't say it but I just want to

remind everybody that not everybody in North Dakota is like Jim because Kurt's out there. Oh, you know, it's interesting. Why, uh, why was he even thinking about even coming here from Philadelphia? I don't know less. You're right. Buck County, right. How long has it been since that poor man? had a decent cheese steak, Kurt.

What a long time, I'd say. I mean, he's our age. Yes, right. I'm sure he is, right. Yeah, I was, let's see here, I was 15. And you're absolutely right. I remember my hometown. The flags were up, and you remember,

they used to give up those odd. They had like a little stickers. that said 76 and stuff. Yeah. And I remember, I still have one on one of my briefcases. I just stuck it on there, and I still got it from 76. It's still what's good as it ever did. That's awesome.

That's back when we knew how to make a damn good sticker. Right, exactly. Right, yes, right. No, I remember it very well. And I remember later on, Jimmy Carter became president, and yeah, I remember it very well. And all the towns, I remember all the little towns of that area, were all celebrating.

It was a different time, that's for sure. Yeah, I think I was, let's see here, I think I was a freshman in high school then. Yeah, I think I was. Either a sophomore or freshman. I was 13. I was a freshman. Oh, okay.

I think I was in seventh grade. Yeah, yeah, because my seventh grade annual had an American flag motif on the cover, my seventh grade yearbook. Oh. Oh, wow. Wow. And now, I don't know if I asked you about this before, but I've asked a few people of a certain age, namely mine, or thereabouts. Right. Do you remember the freedom train?

Yes. Yes, I do. Did it come anywhere near you? Yeah. No, no, it didn't. No. No, it went south of us. I think it went to the Twin Cities, if I'm not mistaken.

And, of course, I'm, you know, I'm quite away from the... Twin Cities, but I do remember the freedom train, yes, it was all over. Well, my parents and I got in the car, we drove the 72 miles east on Highway 72

to Huntsville, to the Amtrak station there. There was an Amtrak station there once. And we went, we went through the freedom train. Oh, wow. And it was just a great experience. There were

you know like revolutionary military uniforms uh i saw i saw a cavalry saber from the era and good god that the you know you had to be able to use it from horseback but i guess i never really thought about it right the damn thing was two-thirds two-thirds the length of a man's height oh you you had to you had to have some and and then i saw one again a few years ago when i went up to Princeton, New Jersey. It's like, those were some strong son of a guns. Oh, yeah. Because to swim that thing around and hack away at people, oh, my God.

I mean, that thing had to weigh 10, 15 pounds. Right, right. Wow. Well, I do remember seeing it on the news, you know, because they would show it. If you remember, they would show where it was at the, you know, at that point in time, you know. Yeah. And, uh, but, but I believe that it went through the Twin Cities, I think.

Now, I could be wrong on that. Maybe it just went through, you know, maybe Southern Minnesota, too. I'm not for sure. But I do remember, uh, the freedom train. Yeah. Oh, God. Yeah. And, and, and, and, you know, there was excitement.

The vibe was wonderful. And right. And, and everything, everything with this is just. tawdry and performative. I wonder if performative is on that list that the third way people want us not to use. I didn't read the whole list, I think.

But yeah, it's just tawdry and performative. And now we're finding out that flights into and out of D.C. At National Airport, the skies are going to be cleared for 15 hours. across two days so that he can have gigantic fireworks displays. Oh, well, it's supposed to get very warm in your part of the country. We're right on the edge of the heat dome here.

We're just about 80 degrees here, but it's very muddy here. But I know that that heat dome is supposed to be moving a little more towards your way. Oh, it was. It was already fierce today. We got up 89, 90 degrees. And when it gets that hotter, yeah, it gets miserable here because when you get temperatures like that, no, it is not a dry heat. It's a, it's a downright gooey heat.

Yes, yes. Well, we have dew points up here now. We're at 79 here now. the last I checked. But the dew point here is around 71% and the humidity is around 80%. So it

feels warm even even though we're not in the 90s. Although I got a call here from a classmate of mine from high school and he's a trucker. He called me this afternoon and he's down in South East Minnesota and he said it was 93

there. Sticky. He said it's terrible down there. Yeah, and when it gets that warm, those Minnesota mosquitoes that are the size of eagles, start zooming around, don't they? Oh, yeah. Carrying away cats, small puppies, little children. Right. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, they'll grab cows even. Yeah, just flapping away with those little babies clutching their beaks. Mosquitoes, mosquitoes with beaks. Well, they're really bad, you know, don't. uh what's that nothing i got i got lost in my my uh love for the inloss lies with beaks it's really bad like along the river veins and then out out in the wooded area like here where i live it's like downtown so it's mostly cement we don't really know this you know the mesquitos but if you go in the south part of the city and southwest yeah then you you feel you feel you feel you feel

the mosquitoes even here, but we spray here, you know, quite often here in the city. So they spray, I don't know, Agent Orange or something. Well, it's not Agent Orange, but it's, what is it called? Melisoyon or something. Yeah, Malathion. And they spray. Yeah, yeah. And they spray that all over the city and stuff.

but it's very muddy here though today. Yeah, I mean, you can feel the heat. But it helps, though, to have air conditioning here, and that really does help. But I was just going to say, I was perusing around your podcast here a couple weeks ago because I haven't really been listening to you here now, live here now, for quite a while here.

I've been busy, you know, doing some recordings here. And then, of course, as you know, I'm a hockey fan, so I had to watch the NHL, you know, Stanley Cup final, which I was glad to see if Carolina win. I was listening to this one podcast, and it was with Jeremy. And I had to laugh because it reminded me of something. But he wanted me to come down and keep him. your ass. I don't know if you

remember that, but I heard that. And it threw me back to my junior college days. There was a guy when I was in my first year,

him and I had this running bag, and his name was great. I believe he was on the football team. And I didn't know him all that well. But we had this running big. And I think you'll remember this. This

was kind of a popular saying in the early 80s on the advent of you know, cable television. And of course, you know, we picked up these stations from Atlanta, you know, like WTBS. And

there was like wrestling on there. And they always wanted to wrap. Oh, yes. Yeah. And the announcer was Gordon Soli. Right, right? Well, there was a line, if you remember this. And every time we met, whether it be outside or in the school, you know, walking down the hall, he would grab his arm and he would slap his arm and he would point to me.

And I didn't know this guy, but it was kind of like a running game between us, but he would say this, you and me at the Omni. Now, you remember the Omni was at Sportsery. there in Atlanta. I worked in the Omni after it became CNN Center. Oh, really?

Oh, okay. Wow. But, I mean, they still had the arena there. I saw, God, I saw Pink Floyd there, saw Springsteen there. Oh, wow. Went to a few.

We got free tickets to see the Hawks when they were horrible. Oh, through the hawks, yeah, right. Did you ever see the flame? I was going to say, I think the flames had already decamped and headed to Calgary. Oh, okay, okay. Yeah, that probably was. Hockey in Atlanta just never made a hell of a lot of sense to me.

No, no. But it's amazing that it flies, you know, like in Carolina and Florida, you know. It's true. Well, I mean, come on, the people in Florida don't care about hockey. They're just going to get in out of the heat. I just got a note from Micah saying, it's 90 here in Michigan today. I'm so glad I got the hell out of Florida. Yeah, it doesn't matter.

Hockey, mall, massage parlor, anything to get out of the, anything to get out of the Florida heat. Right, right. although I have heard, though, that they're trying to maybe try hockey again there in Atlanta. I know they're talking now they're talking Austin, Texas is another place. They want to get another hockey team. And Kansas City, they used to have a team there at one time. They were called the Kansas City Scouts, but they didn't last too long either.

I think they only lasted by maybe five years. Well, you know, over in the UAE, they've got that ginormous indoor air-conditioned affair with a ski slope in it. So, you know, hell, maybe the, you know, the NHL will do anything for a dollar. So, you know, maybe they'll set up a hockey franchise in Dubai. Although putting stuff in Dubai, the shine may be off the row now. seeing as how, you know, seeing as how, you know, Iran might just, you know, missile.

Right, right. But do you remember that saying where they said to you and me at the Albany? And I always got to kick out of that. Oh, heck, yeah, I do. I do. Yes, yes. And he was, you know, this Greg,

he was a nice guy. Although, you know, like I said, And I didn't know him all that well. But he would say things to me like, you know, I'm going to sick a bunch of termites on your crutches. You know, because I walk with one of the crutches and say stuff like that, you know. And then I would tell them, you know, like once in a while I'd say, boy, you're lucky I'm in a good mood. Otherwise I'd have to take you out in the parking lot to show you what levitation looks like or something. like that, you know, just jokingly.

But we have this running gag, and I thought of that when Jeremy had said to you that he was going to sick me onto you to kick your ass. Come down here and kick my ass. And by the way, the name of the show was Georgia Championship Wrestling, Kurt. I just looked up Gordon. Oh, yes. I just looked up Gordon solely. Yeah.

Right, right. That's it. Yeah. But I remember that was such a popular saying. And even up here, you know, way up here people were talking. You and me at the army. I always laugh at that. But of course, that was kind of the beginning of cable television up here, too, you know, in the late 70s. I still remember some of the ads. I was, well, when I had my tire kerfuffle of two or three weeks ago, I was waiting around in Wally World and just wandering through the automotive section. And I saw the spray bottle of armor all, you know, the so-called protectant. Protested, yeah. Yeah, that stuff, I mean, that stuff would dry out your dashboard. It would crack faster.

But I remembered the jingle on what was then WTCG. No singing. We don't even have a deficit, but I'm still not going to sing. Armor All, Armour All makes your world less rotten. Wow. Yeah, that's on a brain cell. That's on a brain cell, but, you know, the quadratic, That's right.

That's right. That's right. You know, you're right about that because it would dry out, you know, the dash and all that. Yes, yes. Oh, God, yeah. I remember I used to use it on my car. The first time I had a car, that was that 73 Chevy Caprice Classic.

God, I missed that car. That was, and they were big back then. back then. Remember the big cars? But at least you have something in front of you, too. You know, if you ever got in a wreck, you know, you'd have something in front of you. But it, but you're right. That did dry out the dash and all kinds of stuff.

Although it did shine it up, but it did dry out a lot of stuff. Yeah, and God, And they weren't necessarily ready to be a national-going concern because most of their ads were for stuff in the general Atlanta area that I couldn't even get in Alabama. By the way, just to interrupt for a second, Ralph's $25 challenge, she said, come on, y'all, make me pay more.

So there's $25 bucks out there. we aren't doing fundraising, but Ralph's is out, Ralphs can't resist a good challenge. So if somebody's got $25, you know, put it in the kitty if you want to. I'm not speaking directly to you, Kurt, but, you know. No, right. And, by the, I've got to share this with you. Well, I'm so...

It's a visual, and it's so funny. Jeremy just, you were talking about Jeremy, Jeremy just sent me a graphic asking, was this ride up and working? It's a steel at $25. And it's a roller coaster. And it's AI, but it's melanoma standing in front of a roller coaster. And the signage for the roller coaster says, ride the Slovenian for $25, cash.

well that was pretty good yes and by the way you just got a note from Jude in the great northwest she said Kurt always sends forth his voice smile which then engages

my facial smile simple and good reactions the flow yin and yang grateful Jude oh Jude thank you so much oh well thank you very much June. Well, I aimed to please.

Exactly. It's a full-service radio program. Yes. Well, I was just going to say that I'm glad that you were able to whittle down that debt that you had there. Well, it was, yeah,

it was eating us alive and especially now that I'm out here trying to find a roofer. Right. Now, how's that going? Well, like I said, I knew I had to set my phone down. I had to go outside. And I knew that while I was outside, the phone would ring.

And, yeah, I got a call from a Lowe's approved contractor. But, Kurt, they're in Tasswell, Virginia. That's two hours for me. Oh, wow. There's got to be somebody around here who can do the job. Well, isn't there someone maybe private you could find? Well, I mean, I'm trying. But, you know, there's just, I mean, population decline, aging workforce.

Randy Radar was asking, Randy Radar was asking about who put the metal roof on the main part of the house. And, well, that guy's unreachable and probably not even in business anymore if he's even still alive. Well, that's another thing. You know, now it's always, it's all these big companies now that do all this stuff now. My dad used to work for restful windows. And then we had a hobby farm. We lived on a farm. And I just saw here now last year, my dad, he worked for, you know, a rustful windows.

He put up doors, onions, softened fascia, you know, shingles, and all. this stuff. And then in the 70s, he got into aluminum and steel siding. And he was blocked all the time. My dad was a workaholic a lot fan

that he just worked and worked and worked and I don't know how the hell he did it. I mean, he even sold it and he also installed it. No one does that anymore now. Now it's all these you know big companies

and then they send crews out now, you know, to do all the work. So it's, yeah, the world has really changed. I'm going to be, I'm going to be candid here. I probably wouldn't be having this much problem finding someone to do a small, it's a small roofing job, Kurt. Yeah. If the ice goons hadn't come through and rounded up all the people who actually work. Right, right, right.

And by the way, Yeah, there is that too. By the way, I just got a note from Rye. She said, I mean, it'd be that way sometimes. I remember one time I got stranded in North Dakota, and the closest tow truck to come get me was in Minnesota. Good God, that toe bill.

Jesus. Yeah, that's, I wonder where about she was. That's interesting. Wow. Well, it's been growing here. here, I'll tell you, you know, just like that goofball from, you know, from Philadelphia. I mean, we've got people here even, even, you know, since I've moved here to Grand Forks back in 88 in the summer of the 88, good God, I was what, 27 then.

And by the way, Rye says Mandan, North Dakota. Oh, Mandan. Oh, my God, that's close to Bismarck. holy both of them Jesus yeah that must have been a toll yeah that must have been a toll

yeah that's just that's just northwest of Bismarck holy Christ and how far would that be from a garage just across the state line

in Minnesota well I suppose maybe that came from brick and red Minnesota, maybe? Now, Breckenridge is the hometown of Jessica Lang. My God, I just thought of that now. That reminded me.

Maybe more had, maybe more had, too. But, yeah, that's a hell of a drive. That's like close to 200 miles. God bless them. And I thought, and I thought wait in a couple of hours. hours on a tow truck here was bad. Yeah, that's, oh my God, that's quite a waste. But you know, Bismarck is out west.

It's, it's not too far from, you know, you know where the Bakken is. It's, it's sort of, the Bakken is more northwest and west of, so that's quite a ways. but nine, God, yeah, that, I would have hit to see in that bill. Jesus. But I'm surprised that she couldn't have fallen like in Bismarck or somewhere, or even the mandan.

But maybe they were booked too. Jeez. But it's amazing, though. I mean, it's really growing here. You know, when I first moved here back in 88, the population here was around 48,000. Now it's pushing over 70 here. We got people from all over the country here.

Now, Roxanne, there's a lot of West Coasters, California, Arizona, Washington State, even from Montana. And then we have a bunch here that come up from the south also. and yeah, it just amazes me where all these people are coming from. I mean, people are flocking to North Dakota? Yeah. Flocking, I tell you.

Well, of course, you know, yeah, flocking, yes. Well, you know, it all started, though, when the blockin opened up, you know, the oil here, you know. Oh, yeah. And, you know, and that brought in a lot of people here, Roxanne. And then what they would do is, is they would, you know, if they had families, they would set them up either in Fargo or else here or, you know, like maybe my not or, you know, someplace, you know, larger where they could get like apartments and stuff. And, but of course, now they're not bringing in, you know, the oil is not bringing in.

you know, much, much traffic up here now because now they've already got done, you know, drilling. And now it's just watching the, you know, the drills, you know, the pipeline and stuff like that. So it's, but that's what brought in a whole bunch of people here, you know. Everybody was thinking they were going to get their millions, you know. And then, of course, the, you know, the prices out there in the western part of North Dakota that just went, you know, skyrocketing. Yeah, that's how the Dodge always works. You're going to make a lot of money.

Right. And we're going to charge you for all of it. Yeah, that's right. That's right. And by the way, Yeah, that's exactly how it went. Of her Odyssey and Mandan, where I said it was the middle of the night,

dead of winter. I paid $250 after insurance. Waited a little over four hours. Jeez. Oh. wow wow what year was that i wonder wow that's that's crazy well i imagine she'll probably answer

but yeah it it's pretty desolate up here in the wintertime it was 22 oh jesus holy smokes yeah in the middle of you know the night everybody closes up you know there's a few 24 hour you know places and they know that's still gold. But, uh, huh. But boy, that's a hell of a, hell of a drive.

Uh, did she say where she got the tow truck from? No, but now that you've asked. Oh. She may not remember that part. Yeah. Boy, that's a, that's a hell of a hall. No one goes over to over. But, oh, it was why too that I got rid of my car here, too, because I,

I hated to go anywhere out of town with it because it was so old. And I didn't want to be sitting somewhere either just because something, you know, goes out on it. Oh, yeah. And, of course, with, you know, what things cost now, too, you know, just a motel. She was traveling from Bozeman, Montana, back to Flint, Michigan. Oh, wow. Wow. But it doesn't remember exactly where the thing came from, the, the total. truck came from.

Oh, oh, wow. Yeah, the only thing I could think of that, you know,

maybe Moore had or else Breckenridge, Minnesota. And Breckenridge, like I said, that's where

Jessica Lange was born there, but then I believe her and her family moved to the Iron Range

in Minnesota. Well, I will have to check in with Jessica in the Greater Rochester Metropolitan

Copeland Co-Prosperity Spear and see if I just need to make sure she hasn't been carried away by one of those mosquitoes. Oh. Well, you haven't heard from her, huh? No, she liked a post at mine the other day. I just, I think she's been busy.

Hey, I was going to ask you or not asked her, but did you hear that David Clayton Thomas guy, the lead singer for blood-slet and peers.

I think I did. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, they were wonderful. Yeah, were you ever? Oh, they were fantastic. You know, the first cassette tape that I ever bought was the greatest hits of blood, and sweat, and tears. And one of my favorite songs of theirs was Go Down Gambling.

Do you remember that song? I don't think I ever heard that one. Oh, my God, that's a classic. It's hard rock. with a brass band. Great song. And then of course, they also had spinning wheel

and Heidi Hole and all these great songs. Yeah, I'm looking, I just looked him up real quick. Yeah, he was 84. Oh, my goodness. But yeah, I was kind of shocked. I thought

he had passed away sometime earlier, but I didn't realize he was still alive. They did some amazing rock and roll at their peak. Oh, God, yeah. Yeah. Oh, for sure. Yeah, they were kind of like the first band that incorporated jazz.

And then Chicago came later, you know, if you remember. Yeah, they had a trombone before trombones were cool. Yes. Right. Yes. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, David Clayton Thomas wrote Spinning Wheel, it's saying here. He wrote it. Yeah, yeah. Right, right.

Yeah, that was a great song. And my favorite will always be a cold down gambling. Just listen to that song. That rock, it's jazz, it's funk. One of their best, I think. I absolutely will. well Kurt I'm gonna roll out I'm gonna let you know

I was gonna say I was gonna roll on out of here it's lovely to hear from you if you run across Jim tell him tell him we sent our love and just and and and yeah they didn't say what town he was from

but yeah and to stay out of the bottled in bond before noon right Well, it was nice talking with you. Oh, it's always a joy, Kurt. You take care of yourself now. Okay, okay, you too.

You too. Bye-bye. Kurt is absolutely irrepressible. I love my conversations. This is Jim calling from North Dakota. How dare you? I knew if Kurt was listening the minute it was Jim from North Dakota. I just had a feeling.

I just had a feeling. and by the way, just a couple of stories on the way out the door. First of all, George and Corskell said blood, sweat, and tears, their version of God bless the child really swings. Absolutely true. And then Spirokeets talking. George notes, did you see on MS now over the weekend that when Trump was in Europe, he kept telling other leaders that his father, Fred, was born in Germany? from a real nice part of Germany

he was confusing his father with his father's father even after being corrected he kept at it he's lost it and you know what there's there's further I mean I know people are diagnosing at a distance but these are people who know what the fuck they're talking about the guy with the clip that we played a couple of times last week

talking about the the GLP 3 that he's on is absolutely convinced that he is, in that fellow's words, living on borrowed time. And then, and he's talked about the likelihood that he's had strokes or TIAs transient ischemic attacks, but even when he was trying to speak to thousands and thousands of people, there was no more than a thousand from the clip from Meekamouse,

Well, Hillary Shea is a licensed speech-language pathologist, and she pointed out some rather obvious deficits from nitwit Niro's attempt to harang the crowd in his opening address to the great American state farce. On June 24th, Donald Trump gave his speech for America 250 on the National Mall. And shockingly, he actually didn't go off script all that much, and he spoke for a little under 30 minutes. However, the number of paraphasasias or sound distortions was significant for that amount of time. And thankfully, this creator, Zeus, helped me with collecting a lot. Listen to all these words Trump struggled to say tonight.

He's losing it. He couldn't say 250th anniversary. We're in Space Museum and renovated the United States Capitol for our 250th anniversary. We are likewise... He couldn't say the word magnificent. And just across the bridge in front of Arlington Cemetery, we're building a magnificent. It's really beautiful. This is going to be something you're going to like a...

He couldn't say the words ancient ruins. The great civilizations of history did not wallow in aging ruins of the past. They built new cities. They created new monuments. He even struggled to say Los Angeles. I know everyone joins me in wishing Team USA. Good luck in their match tomorrow against Turkey and Los Angeles. And then he struggled to say the word, Horizon.

Now we are expanding the glory. of American freedom into a horizon that's really into a horizon that's never been seen before. We've never reached so high as we're reaching. Difficulties that Donald Trump has with saying specific words are consistent with dysarthria and ataxia or apraxia. They can occur after stroke. They can occur with other brain disorders and dementia. And what happens specifically with the apraxia or ataxia are phonemic paraphasias.

Phenemic parapherasias are when the motor speech required to coordinate words and syllables together are not coordinated appropriately. Example, if I wanted to say telephone but I accidentally said tephalon, that would be a phonemic parapheria because my sounds got mixed up. And that is what's happening a lot of the times with Donald Trump's speech. The coordination for the syllables in order and in connected speech, it's not just one word. does the more syllables that you have, the higher level motor coordination is required to maintain appropriate speech sound coordination. There's also something called dysarthria.

And dysarthria is kind of like weakness over time of use. So when someone is speaking and over a short period of time, they might lose their breath, their voice might go really low or their ability to kind of say the words can be problematic. He does that a lot in this speech. And I do think that is one of the newer symptoms that has happened within the last month or so where he has this dysarthria. That could be consistent with a TIA, which is a transient ischemic attack or a stroke. And what happens is he is kind of trailing off at the ends of the words. So he has this difficulty with coordinating the sounds. And then also he's kind of just losing it. So especially three syllables or more words like Los Angeles, that one was less of a of a, of a, of a

parapheria where the sounds were not quirkied properly and just he didn't really finish the word. So that would be consistent with the dysarthria and it's absolutely possible to have a mix of apraxia with dysarthria and there are a lot of neurological reasons why that might be happening. The fact that there were so many examples of these speech difficulties in one 30-minute speech means that Donald Trump is getting worse. Whatever is going on, whether it's a dementia, whether it's stroke, whether it's combination, whether it's congestive heart failure, whether it's whatever it might be, his neurological abilities are declining significantly. If you go back even two years, you will not see this many

phonemic parapherasias and other motor speech coordination issues within a 30-minute speech. I guarantee it. So his brain is declining, and it's declining quickly. And what that means for us is that we have a president who is no longer fit for office, and he's got to go. I could not agree more, but it's nice when you've got science to back that up. And then there's this as we depart the evening. I guess Maha has tried to play a big role in the great American state farce. Maybe that's why you can't get a decent corn dog. But then again, the question arises, why then aren't there undercooked steak booths and kimchi and sourcrap booths?

No hate. Love it all. But, you know, that's what Bobby Kennedy likes to eat and all the other maha goobers. Well, they had a pancake eating contest. and a Maha pancake eating contest. Yeah, that's right. Oh, God, this is so good. Naturally, Fox News, TV, Radio, Rwanda was on the spot. Maha Monday included a pancake eating contest

because nothing's great for you like pancakes. And the winner took down a stack of 10 protein pancakes. Hope they had plenty of butter, topped with berries and sauce. Later today, Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator, Dr. Oz, will hold a deep discussion on mental health. Oh, I bet it'll be deep. Marcus, this is our moment. I mean, you went over the pancakes really quick. Yeah, and they were protein pancakes.

They weren't just ordinary flapjacks, no, because everything has to be protein now. You know, it was a short clip, but I'm sure there was a. Sour crowd eating contest somewhere along the way. Sign me up for... Then again, again, Chinese hot mustard and kimchi on a hot dog. I'm just saying it's delicious. Yeah. And one dude was sitting there looking like he was...

You know, the cheeks come out a little bit. That would have been so fun. Good God. Yeah, I guess no freedom train. Pancake eating contest, Lee in New York says, I'm sure it was not at IHOP, international house of pancakes. Pancakes are strictly American. We invented a pancake.

Never mind that, you know, German has a word, vancuchen, or French crepe. Mm-hmm. You know, the Japanese make wonderful noodles, soba from buckwheat. I'll bet they've made a pancake or two. I love musho pork, musho chicken. Those come with pancakes. They turn out of American. Jesus.
