Thank you all for being partial sponsors of the program. Thanks as well to Tom in Sunny San Rafael. And thank you, Scott. For jumping in. I was at the post office earlier today. Thank you, Billable Rick.

Really, sincerely, whatever way you use to help keep this program on the air, thank you. Thank you so very much. Because it all goes toward something that, well, the community values in which we don't sell. We give it all away, and you make it possible to give it all away. Thank you. Now, about that their password. Camel Cardinal, you bite me.

You'll see that's re-aractant. What happened? Did a spider scare you into starting the show on time today? That's why I said, bite me. No, no, no, no, it's a much happier story than that. The young, young Herr Kyle Rottenhouse was hospitalized. Gee, I hope it didn't hurt too little. He apparently got bitten by a venomous spider.

So naturally, in the hospital, he ran over to X and posted an excrement all over it saying, Oh, the communist couldn't take me out, and I'll be damned if I let a brown recluse take me out. Disappointed, I'm not Spider-Man now. Dude, you'll never know you aren't unless you try. I suggest you, you know, go up about 70 stories and leap and see if you can shoot a spider web out of your wrist to swing you onto the building, you know, on the other side. Yeah. But, well, I don't want to seem too unserious about this. I hope the spider's okay.

Yeah. Oh, one comedian said, according to sources, the brown recluse that bit Kyle Rittenhouse has acquired the superpowers of a witless, irrelevant, in-cell. Yeah, maybe Kyle could shoot it with his freedom protector. And by the way, is Rudy Giuliani still fighting for his life? I don't know, but, gee, I hope it doesn't hurt too little. A little schmuck. Oh, well, that's just how it goes. It's the least that karma could do.

And the communists couldn't take me out. There were no communists. You murdered a couple of ordinary people, Kyle. You committed homicide. regardless of what the jury said. A homicide is a homicide is a homicide. And you are a committer thereof. And Ralph's jumping in said,

I'll put up a $25 challenge for the Brown recluse. So the get well soon brown recluse challenge is on the table. Thank courtesy of Ralphs. Thank you very, very kindly. That's very kind of you indeed. So maybe somebody will kick in, and we will get the fundraising deficit down to, because I didn't mention it, we'll get the terrifying fundraising deficit down to $3,540.

Yeah, actually $3,440, taking the mailbox into account. And again, thank you. Well, what else? Good news. Good news. I've been waiting all day for a notification on the results of my echocardiogram yesterday. I never got a notification. But just on a lark, I decided to check, and lo and behold, there it was. Drummer, please.

My heart's just fine. I got a little bit of, I think, mitral valve regurgh. But apart from that, everything is in good shape where my ticker is concerned. And considering I was a 43-year smoker and I'm a six-year non-smoker, I take that as good news, indeed. Probably need to shed a few pounds if I get right down to it, be a little more active. But, oh, program note. I don't think I'll be on the air for the full three hours this evening, just because I'm exhausted. I've been at it since early morning, and only came through the door here about a half an hour, 45 minutes before airtime.

I've been rowed hard and put up wet, and juvenile delinquents know there's nothing nasty about that, so don't even start the blue e-mail. please. But no, my heart's in good shape. I still have the nuclear stretch test next week just to make sure everything's in good form. But that was a great weight off my shoulders. Thanks for your concern about what I was describing with the anxiety and the vertigo and stuff. And thanks to Scott for jumping in on the fundraising. Have you noticed these attacks happened right after anything with gluten, bread,

pasta? I blame mine on glyphosate. Everything we eat, even our animals are fed with GMOs. I remember as a kid, they said we could feed the world with these new advances in gene splicing. I also recall we didn't have kids with ADHD, a few special ed-down syndrome, but not ADD. It seems the amount of my anxiety also fluctuates from year to year, maybe depending on the amount of chemicals they use. Heavy bug infestation, they use more. Why would they use more if they didn't eat it? And I don't know what that drug is, but Scott says that works for me.

I don't think it's diet related I don't know I'm still checking things out I need to see the ear, nose and throat guy sometime if I can ever get he's the only one for miles and miles around so that'll take a little while to get in and I need to have my eyes checked

and of course even though it would be diabetic care I'm battling with the insurance company and they're like no you need to pay for that out of your pocket you don't have any vision care it's not vision care dumbass it's diabetes care but here we are but thanks thanks for caring scott i really appreciate it um leon new york rudy and his leaking hair they're recovering uh rudy guliani was visited by a priest for last rites after falling ill with pneumonia following a parish trip nine lives less than a year ago guliani was seriously injured in in August 2025 car accident in New Hampshire.

Hopefully he's running out. Don't fear the Reaper, Rudy, nor the wind and the sun and the rain. Blue-oasted. More cowbell. Yeah. And, well, whatever else is happening in the world today, I feel the need to mention something because it hit me kind of hard this morning. I'm not going to joke.

Just a second, please. Okay, things I had to take care of. Sorry. Jeremy, the doctors are lying. It's a fungus in your gut. It's sure. Probably need to drink some mushroom coffee to neutralize one fungus with the other fungus. Oh, Jesus, please.

Let's not go down that road yet. From Bill of Lerick. Oh, actually, and stop telling the juvenile delinquents not to send you blue emails. How about silver or gold emails is in the bad company song? What I want to know is did you sing, did you, did you, did you, did you, did you, did you, did you, did you, did you, did you, did you, did you, uh, did you, uh, did you, did you, uh, did you, uh, did you, uh, yeah, that's all I want to know. But no, just to get back to what I was saying, um, the news today, God, please, let's try this one more time. Uh, parenthood. Um, no, I, I woke up this morning to the news of the passing of Ted Turner. Robert E. Ted Turner, who legitimately was one of my heroes.

CNN went on the air in June of 1980. A year later, I would be graduated from high school. My high school annual starting my senior year contained, you know how you go and get all your classmates signatures and stuff. One of my best friends wrote, Can't wait to hear you on CNN in a couple of years working for Ted Turner. It turned out to be true. Took about from Grant.

It took about five years, six maybe. But he was, he was, he was larger than life. And he seemed to be getting stuff right. He had an ego the size of Montana, which he went on to own a big chunk of and load dearly. restored bison to the Great Plains. Captain Planet was dedicated to

educating a largely ignorant public about the threats that the environment faced from us created the United Nations Foundation with a billion dollars of his own money you know

there's such a and it's justified there is a there's a sort of disgust for billionaires these days and they've earned it

but he was a reminder that not all bad billionaires or not all billionaires or bad billionaires he tried to make the world a better place with his money and to work for CNN

and for such a visionary I got his autograph every two weeks, rain or shine. It felt more like a calling or a profession than a job. And we'd see him swanning around CNN. First, I signed on the CNN when they were still at the old country club building

on 1050 Techwood Drive in Atlanta. And shortly thereafter, he funded the renovation of what was then the Omni and turned it into the fabulous CNN Center and I don't think anyone has ever worked in a better broadcast facility I was in the radio division in most of the

obituaries today all of the obituaries that I read it mentioned CNN what went on to become CNN2 and then was renamed Headline News which is no longer with us. CNN International that plays in airports and

in parts of the world that aren't the United States. I mean, I was kind of there during the heyday. When there were real bureaus, there was a Beijing bureau and a London bureau and a

hill. We had a Havana Bureau. It was something. I was there when the 24-hour news cycle really showed itself for what it was with the story of little baby Jessica down the well in Midland, Texas, and the attention of the world was riveted on CNN. It was something. There was a pub in CNN Center.

It was set up as sort of a British affair. It was called Reggie's, and it had a pith helmet for a logo. I'd get off work at like 10 o'clock on a Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. And it was mostly the Fridays, but I'd walk into Reggie, and there would sit the boss. And we chatted a couple of times. He was an amazing man. and then, lo and behold, because, you know, everything he touches goes to caca, nitwit Nero had to post something on the passing of Ted Turner.

He said, Ted Turner, one of the greats of all time, just died. He founded CNN, sold it and was personally devastated by the deal because the new ownership took CNN, his baby, and destroyed it. It became woke, and everything that he is not all about. Maybe the new buyers, wonderful people. That would be Larry Ellison and his Nepo baby son. We'll be able to bring it back to its former credibility and glory. No, they'll drive it into the dirt.

Regardless, however, one of the greats of broadcast history and a friend of mine, whenever I needed him, he was there, always willing to fight for a good cause, President Donald J. Trump. You sorry sack of liquid dung. Ted Turner was more of a man, a man in full, than nitwit Nero has ever been able to dream of being. And part of the reason I so respected Turner was because of what his background was. he was born in Cincinnati.

Oh, there's that song again. But his family, he was moved quite promptly. His family moved to like Savannah, Georgia. And at about four or five years old, he was shipped off to boarding school, which he hated. But he was obviously a very intelligent young man. His dad wanted to get a,

him into Harvard. But instead, and it would be a momentous choice, instead, Ted Turner decided to go to Brown in Rhode Island. And I'm certainly speaking without sufficient expertise, but it's kind of hard to go to Rhode Island and not be exposed to sailing culture. and I presume that it was at Brown where, you know, in Rhode Island, where Ted Turner learned his love of yacht racing, but he didn't get to graduate from Brown because his father was an asshole. A monster who beat him,

who beat young Ted with a razor strap, a wire hanger, whatever came to hand. The elder Turner was also a raging alcoholic and prone to fits of depression. Eventually, he would blow his brains out in the bathroom upstairs. But he refused to pay for Ted's education because Ted had done the unthinkable at Brown. Namely, he had chosen to major in. in classics. You know what a role looking back at ancient history plays in this program.

It's there because I was exposed to the classics in high school. When I took Latin in college, one of my professors, my Latin professor, was a graduate of Brown. and he would have been probably contemporaneous with Ted Turner had he gotten to finish his degree in classics, but his dad pulled the money, and Ted had to come home and go to work for the advertising company. I'm trying to find the quote. His father said to him of his classics major, what are you going to do with that? Why do you want to walk around speak in ancient Greek?

Who are you going to? Who are you going to speak ancient Greek too? I don't understand why you want to run around with those filthy people. That was Ted Turner Sr. Well, the classics are their own reward. So Ted Turner was exposed to yacht racing, became fascinated with it, bought a yacht, the courageous. He would later become known as Captain Outrageous because he didn't feel any particular necessity.

to keep his thoughts to himself. And as one friend of his once said, he'll have a thousand ideas a day, and 99 of them will be garbage, but one of them's going to be a diamond. And it's a question of figuring out which one that is. At one point in time, they labeled him the mouth of the South.

And you can probably find it on YouTube. There are clips of him after winning the America's Cup race because he got beat the first time through. He came back two years later, and whipped the field and won the America's Cup. I think he was really feeling his oats in those days. But later on he said that he'd work all day and get home at 7.30, and the news would already be over,

and he wouldn't have any idea of what had happened. And that that was one of the formative ideas behind CNN. He wanted a channel that he could turn on and get the news any time day or night, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Oh, and by the way, nitwit Nero, he was a real billionaire. Not a graft billionaire.

He worked for every goddamn penny of it. You, you shambolic puddle of guts, you've never worked a day in your life. And Ted Turner

was as woke as the day is long. if that term was even applicable then. He wasn't a racist. He wasn't a sexist that I know of. He loved women. It says something that he convinced Jane Fonda to marry him. And Jane Fonda was reported to have wept big tears at the news that her ex-husband had passed.

and they both agreed that just because two people who love each other get divorced, it doesn't mean they don't love each other anymore. It just isn't, the arrangement just isn't working out. Ted Turner said he had loved two women in his life. One was Jane Fonda, and out of some sense of propriety, I suppose, he never named the other one. But he was larger than life. and he had grand ideas.

And when he sold to Time Warner, he had a seat on the board and remaining control of CNN. But then Time Warner decided to merge with the budding AOL. And to this day, that's written up as one of the most disastrous mergers in history. and they mostly forced Ted Turner to the sidelines. So he turned away from it, and he turned to those environmental causes I mentioned a little bit ago. He bought massive amounts of land in five states, including Montana and New Mexico, South Carolina, and protected those lands.

Also bought land in Argentina. Protected that. He was a conservationist. He opened up a string of restaurants. Ted Turner's Montana Grill. It was said to be pretty darn good. Never got to eat at one. And the Ted Turner Foundation now manages his remaining wealth.

His, I think, five kids make up the board. And it just feels like the passing of a giant. I have more respect for Ted Turner and his legacy. My God, he was hilarious when he bought the Braves. The Atlanta Braves were hapless in the extreme. And back then, if you worked at CNN, every employee of CNN got 20 free Braves tickets per season. That meant you and somebody else could go ten times.

Or you could throw a humongous party and get some of your other co-employees tickets, who were never going to go see a Braves game anyway, and take 100 of your closest friends to the ballpark. Does it sound like I may have done that once or twice? Does it? Yeah? Uh-huh. And most of the time, the stadium would be near empty, so it was pretty much seat yourself.

So, you know, box seats down the first base, down the first baseline. Not bad or right there behind home plate. And, Jesus. They were bad, but they were showing signs. And those pictures

who would eventually become household names were just, just developing. And you could see that something was coming, and I left before it got there. But in 1995, Ted Turner got his World Series trophy, and he hoisted it for the once hapless Braves. I even, well, there was an engagement party once,

and the president of the Braves attended. And I got a note, wishing a happy future. Yeah, so I have cause. I have cause just to ponder the life of and celebrate the life of and offer last respects to a man among few whom I deeply respected. Changed my life. Literally walked in the door at CNN, and they were like, you want a job? And so on nights when some of the other voiceover guys were off,

hey, come here. You want to do TBS News Watch? Sure. We got to have an opening for Larry King Live. Can you get it? On it. Need the VO for Crossfire. Right there.

In the Crossfire. Yeah, I can still do it. And that was where the joke arose that I was the only person on planet Earth who could make James Earl Jones sound like Mickey Mouse. A lot of thoughts have passed through my mind. Today, a lot of memories. And a lot of wondering. a lot of Robert Frost and the road not taken.

My little horse must think it queer to stop without a pool hall near. No, that's not how the poem goes. But, no, I just wanted to make sure that I said that. Got those words out. I'll be thinking about him for a while now. Jeremy says, Ted Turner's best invention was the now gone WCW World Championship Wrestling, which he came damn near to ending.

the WWF with, oh God, that goes all the way back to the days of WTCG, Jeremy, and Gordon Solie was the announcer. Yeah, I don't think that was his best, though. I mean, talk about memories. My pious mother and grandmother would get up on Sunday mornings to go off to the local Southern Baptist Emporium while. I would sometime later come shuffling out of my bedroom, a t-shirt, a pair of gym shorts, kind of rubbing my eyes open. And Dad and I would watch Academy Award Theater.

My father was a cinephile, even though he considered himself profoundly uneducated. Oh, God, my mom and dad were so proud when I went to work for CNN. Holy smoke. Yeah, those were special. Sunday mornings. The Camel Cardinal says, Okay, Roxanne, you can't go directly from

I've been used, rode hard and put up wet, to I have to undergo a nuclear stretch test and then plead with the delinquents to stand back and stand by. Not how this works. I understand you, he even. Billable tells us, No, I didn't sing the talking heads last night as the venue closed early and I had time to sing only one song,

Wild Horses. I would have settled with video for that, That's what I want to know is why is there no video of any of this? We want to hear your dulcet tones, billable. So, just to start. But it's prayer meeting Wednesday and, well, golly, Moses. We got some prayer meeting Wednesday stuff. Oh, here's one now.

Robert Mendez Esquivel. A gospel sharp in Idaho, well, a Nampa Catholic priest accused of raping a minor has been sent up the river for 15 years. Father Toto was what the hell the community. Father Toto, Fother Toto. There were hours of closing statements, Jesus. He was facing charges of rape. counts of sexual battery of a minor child. But he entered a guilty plea to one count of sexual battery of a minor child, and the other charges were dropped. He was a priest at St. Paul's Catholic Church in Nampa.

Ain't God good? Mm-hmm. On while we're at it being Wednesday and all. From Idaho to North Carolina stand. A man there was... known to the community for being out and about with putting up lawn signs that just said, thank you, Jesus. He entered a guilty charge, yeah, to third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor,

36 months of supervised probation, no prison time. After 24 months, it can be unsupervised probation. sure do take child sex trafficking serious like down there in North Carolina stand. Yeah. Thank you, Jesus, for the sexual predator. Amen and amen. Say, baby. Baby, baby.

Mm-hmm. And, oh, goodness, I, never, never. I mean, there have been so. some stupid stories out there, but oh boy is this one. Apparently there's a new fad that is being directed at women in which women are supposed to, and I'm sorry, content warning, trigger warning, women are supposed to enhance sexual pleasure by applying powdered tobacco to their vulvas and vaginas. No, no, no, don't. Please don't do that. That's not.

Experts worn tobacco powder has the potential to cause cancer, difficulties during delivery, and is capable of affecting the normal flow of menstruation. No surprise there on any account. But you know who most surely came up with this. Yeah, some chud in the manosphere. Dr. Gregory O'Hihoyne of Lagos, Nigeria, where I guess this is a thing, said, it is not healthy for women to apply tobacco powder to the genitals. Tobacco is associated with cancer in many parts of the body, so it's not safe. Tobacco has lots of side effects and is not healthy for women to add to their genitals.

It should be discouraged. Oh, my goodness gracious. Why? Why? wins a whole new meaning to finishing and then saying mind if I smoke? No, honey, it'll be so much better

if you just, here, just take some of my take some of my Copenhagen rub it around down there. No! No! I really, no. Yeah, let's don't and say we didn't. Oh, jeez.

Gino, shame on you, but in a good way. Tobacco. So, a new form of snuff movies. Yeah, that's exactly what. Thank you, Gino for doing that, so I didn't have to. That one's on Gino, y'all. Just want to make sure we're keeping track. It's so much, dumb God.

Oh, and a few minutes ago, the Camel Cardinal said stand back and stand by. Yeah, remember that? Oh, tobacco, Lee in New York says, may offend. I do know the saying kissing a smoker is like licking an ashtray. You guys are good. Just the best. Oh, back to Ted Turner for a second. Flavio says,

I have a hard time believing Ted Turner and Trump were friends. I suspect Turner took a dim view of Trump. Well, Turner endorsed Clinton in 2016. Yes. They were not buddies. They were not pals. They did not hang out late at night chatting on the phone as they laid their little heads upon the pillow. No.

What that was for? was an opportunity to get a dig in at CNN and send a not at all coded message to Larry Ellison and his Nepo baby son to go in and clean house and raise hell at CNN for having the unmitigated temerity to tell the truth about nitwit Niro. Tadda. And now we turn our attention. Yeah. Oh, okay. Leah in New York suggests the Ramalama Ding Dong for the long

and prosperous life and well-led life of Ted Turner. And the impact and the effect that he had on mine. Oh, what I wouldn't give for some of the reels of some of my newscast from back then. That would be lovely. Now, let's turn our... our attention to the

to the race for governor in California, CNN hosted a gubernatorial debate between the gubernatorial candidates last night. And at one point

there was a bit of a dust up as former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villarigosa accused Chad Bianco, the sheriff of what, Riverside County of being an oathkeeper. His answer was telling. No.

But you want to be the bully that you always are? No, I... You know, you're an oathkeeper. We all know that. And I'm very proud of it. Well, you should... I'm very proud of it. And guess what?

I'm going to swear a note. oath and you swore an oath, you should know what you were swearing and be proud of defending it. I don't think an oathkeeper is qualified to be governor of- I don't think you know what an oath-keeper is. Let me answer the question. I said, if an undocumented person committed murder, they should be held accountable. They should go to jail. And you keep on saying that sanctuary prevents violent criminals from being turned over. I said it prevents criminals. As I said earlier.

I said it prevents criminals. Don't lie for me. In fact, as I said earlier, thousands have been turned over since 2019. Obviously not enough. Steve Hilton, let me be clear. You know, I know you recently arrived to California. But if you've read the Bay Area Institute, the UCMersed study, immigrants, if we took them all out, including the undocumented,

it would be a $274 billion hit to the California economy. Just to follow up on what you were just saying there, and you said you're a proud oathkeeper. Are you referring to the group? I have sworn an oath three times to defend my constitution. Yes. And everybody that wants to like, again, lie and emotionally get all spun up about the oathkeeper organization. I just would, before you do that, and I know none of you have, I want you to go read the mission statement of the oathkeeper mission statement. I saw them on CNN attacking the Capitol.

And the ACLU. I saw a politician molesting kids. Does that mean you molest kids? Probably not the best thing for Chad Bianco to bring up, but that's where we are in 2026. People are, maggots are proudly aligning with the fascist brown shirts, like the Oaf Keepers.

Isn't the Oaf Keepers the one that's run by Stewart? You'll shoot your eye out kid Rhodes, who got pardoned after literally planning a full-on military assault on the Capitol. The same dumb-ass Stuart Rhodes who dropped his loaded weapon and literally shot his eye out. Yeah, that's the oafkeepers that Chad Bianco is getting so hot and bothered about. Good God. Yeah, he's proud. He's an oaf keeper.

Maybe he can be a proud boy, too. I don't know. God of mighty. Christopher in Oregon. Tobacco pleasure. So Joe Camel was really Josephine? I knew it. I knew it.

I knew it all along. Those Humps were a dead giveaway. Josephine Camels. Lovely lady humps. Hey, yeah. Mm-hmm. Well, up in New York, more problems for

Mike Lawler, the maggot who's desperately trying to hang on to his seat, turns out he was raking in some serious dough because the advocacy and political groups he ran paid more than $720,000 to an outfit called Checkmate Strategies. Curiously, he co-founded Checkmate Strategies. strategies. He sold it last year in a report. Oh, that reminds me.

Matt in San Francisco. Them fake humps. Yeah. Have I got a story for you? This one goes right next to that story. Politico previously reported Lawler's campaigns paid his former firm $500,000 for campaign services. A new analysis of other campaign finance and lobbying record shows that in addition to those payments before entering Congress,

Lawler directed a host of organizations that paid a combined total of at least $221,515 to checkmate for its services between 2019 and 2021. Oh my God, it's a great graft. If you can, yeah, good work

if you can get it. Well, hopefully he will be gone as of November. Yeah. The graft and the corruption never end. In Maggot World. No, it doesn't. But that's true, Lee in New York pointing out,

please remember Elmer Stewart Rhodes III did more damage with his gun than the other gun-toting Elmer, namely Fudd. So true. Billable Rick. Stop telling the juvenile delinquents that you need to hear my dulcet tones. Okay, Roxanne, I'll post it on Facebook, a 60-second clip of me singing Wild Horses on my birthday last October 28th. Good man, good man.

And by the way, I'm going to wrap up early this evening because I am just slammed. Like I said, I've been going since we early this morning. But I wanted to make sure I popped by. But a story just to finish the hour, Matt in San Francisco reminded me with the them-s-fake-humps. So last night I went down to the settlements for provisions, a little snack, and it turned out that there was a pop-up kitchen at Maggie's, which was easier to access. Oh, the local Mexican restaurants were just, you couldn't get near them.

So that was out. But anyway, while I was there, a guy, a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend walked up to me and you know i don't make any bones about the i mean i came out at maggie's so i don't make any bones about my transness what whatever that is but oh god i he walks up and and he wasn't being gross or anything but it was a moment and after it was all over with i told i told victoria i said well this one goes right there and This goes in the Roxanne story file right next to the Them's Fake Boob story. We get to talk, and he said, did you ever play football?

I was like, in high school, he said, no, I was talking with some people, and they were like, yeah, she played in the NFL. No, no, no, I was, I promise, I didn't, I didn't. I said, I know where that comes from, though. You do? Where? I said, yeah. The The 1982 film The World

According to Garp John Lithgow played a former New York Giants football player named Robert Muldoon who had transitioned to become Roberta Muldoon And it was one of the first films ever to

treat a trans woman as something other than a sexual predator Or a punchline The movie just treated her as another woman And I never saw that that movie? I said, well, I never played in the NFL either. And then the conversation continued, and your hair is beautiful. Thank you. And is that your natural hair? Yeah, that's my natural hair. Because at the time I had it, I still have it in a braid. And it reaches down to almost my waist at this point.

He's like, it's just such beautiful hair. I'm like, okay. thank you Matt add to them's fake boobs um did you ever play in the NFL oh it's just

amazing what are you going to do what's that Flavio says Cash Patel has his own bourbon from the Atlantic He's distributed cash, K-A-dollar-Sign H-branded bottles of bourbon to FBI staff and civilians, including during at least one FBI event.

Multiple people in Patel's orbit tell Sarah Fitzpatrick. The bottles bear the imprint of the Kentucky Distillery Woodford Reserve, shame on them, and are engraved with the words Cash Patel FBI director, as well as a rendering of an FBI shield. Surrounding the shield is a band of text featuring Patel's title and his favored spelling of his first name, K-A-dollar-sign-H. An eagle holds the shield in its talons

along with the number nine, presumably a reference to Patel's place in the history of FBI directors. Of course, you, if you think at all, about Trash Patel, may think of him as J. Edgar Boozer. God. Shame on you, Woodford Reserve. If I was still in the bourbon buying business,

that would be enough to make me never buy another bottle of Woodford Reserve, which is a shame because it's good bourbon. But, no more. No, no, no. Lee, your fake history, now I have to ask, are you related to John Lithgow? No, no, not at all. I mean That'd be kind of cool But no
