Head-ON With Robyn Roxanne Kincaid - Head-ON With Roxanne Kincaid, 7 April 2026, TACO Tuesday, Hold the Armageddon

Episode Date: April 8, 2026

Nitwit Nero doubles down on his threats of genocide (then backs down). The world shudders. The feckless MAGATS in the Congress utter nary a peep. 

The password is mic drop. Here we go, live from behind the corn phone curtain. It's head-on with Roxanne Kincaid. Three hours of cussin and discussing with America's only liberal transbilly 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 mountaintop 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 seventh day of April, 2006. This is the horn. Head on. Live is where you'll find us on the interweb tubes.

That is where you go. In order to, for all your podcasts, needs as well as if you'd like to be joining the conversation and Mary Wacky Zany Real Time Madcap Multimedia Extradiganza that is the horn chat room now part of the

If you're listening live, well, the folks over at the aforementioned Old Holler Tree will be terribly happy to see you and by that well I'm firing it up now that would be squeaky and Ralphs and Sylvie and too much hutch

uh too much hutch greetings to the merry wacky zanies all yes I have a feeling there's going to be some conversating going on in the old holler tree this afternoon this evening Hi, I'm Roxanne. It is Titanic Tuesday. Ordinarily, we set that, set Tuesdays aside to take note of particular instances of Titanic maggot intellect, you know, the sort that says flank speed toward their iceberg will take it out. you tried to kill my daddy but today well today's a little bit different isn't it I don't know how your day has gone but we talked about this extensively last night

and no amount of Mexican gasoline would clear the existential dread in my being and woke up this morning to more existential dread. But before I get there, every program here at the Horn begins with gratitude,

and this program is no different. So thanks go out to our PayPal subscribers and contributors for the seventh day of the month. And that means thank you ever so kindly to an anonymous individual who took the fundraising goal down to $1,240. bucks just noting Jesus resurrection remembrance made my money right thanks Jesus thanks Jesus see you later Jesus yeah anyway thank you and thanks as well to Ralphs thank you Ralphs and thank you to James thanks to each and every one of you who helped keep this independent liberal progressive broadcast conversation unlike any other on the air.

Thank you. Thank you. Because we talk about things here that don't very often make it to the four multimillionaire for-profit media. Oh, Randy Radar, our thoughts go with you. Randy Radar said my mom, who died in 2023, would have been 93 years old today. I miss her. I know you do. And it's not consolation, but it never really goes away, Randy Radar.

As I noted, my mama's birthday, it would have been her 101st, was, well, a week ago today. And next year, she will have been gone 30 years. And, well, still miss her. My sympathies and that of the Horn Family Community Congregation go out to you, Randy Radar. They do. They really, really do. So, well, this is a certain sort of a first draft of history broadcast and archive. So we may as well start with how most of us.

started our day with another insane tripe on tripe social from nitwit Nero. A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, we probably will. However, now that we have complete and total regime change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen. Who knows? We will find out tonight one of the most important moments

in the long and complex history of the world. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death will finally end. God bless the great people of Iran. Literally the first thing I saw when my eyes opened this morning. And knowing what we talked about all the, for three hours yesterday, Oh, it seemed he was eager to get his nuclear holocaust on. He threatened to murder 90 million people. Murder!

They're not 90 million legitimate military targets in Iran. Wow. And so it felt like everything we had talked about in yesterday's program was about to come true. And may yet, there are desperate attempts to stop him in his efforts to, well, you get the idea. He's intimated the fact that he knows he's not long for this earth. And people like that in leadership positions are dangerous, extremely dangerous. Because if they're not going to be here, what do they care? that's why for instance

indigenous people in the Americas have a what is known as the seven generations philosophy where they do not make decisions without taking into account its impact seven generations down the line white Europeans

never never had anything like that or done anything like that but, well, he's got nothing to lose. As Louis XIV said, "'Apre me, le deluge. And that may be how he feels. But having stewed in this madness for a few hours, I began to, it occurred to me, wait a minute,

this is exactly what he wants. The entire world with its arms, eyes on him. I mean, this is peak malignant narcissist. And the story that we had in yesterday's program from the psychologist who said, hey, he gets off on it. He's addicted to it. He likes terrifying and killing people. This is the joy of the sadism that a narcissist feels.

And so, in the midst of all of this existential dread, I began to consider, wait a minute, it's time to recall how he got his start in showbidness, namely, Rasslin. you know that entertainment medium where mostly grown men leap around a boxing ring in tiny spandex panties while children watch

as they perform simulated violence upon one another and nitwitnero even did it in a in a grudge against Vince McMahon and he has loved every minute in front of the camera that he has had since he was a young mentally defective real estate broker dealer whatever in Gotham and here we are now and tigers don't change their stripes and neither do skunks but you can't just say ah that's that's just trump because a madman with access to nuclear weapons you can't discount him when he starts raving about obliterating an entire civilization and to someone who um it dallied with anthropolization anthropology and archaeology for a while.

You know, the fact remains, he can't destroy that civilization. It's going to be there. In what was then Persia, a chymid Persia, the remains of the capital at Soussa, S-U-S-A, remain today, and it was always at one of my bucket list things

to see those ruins. That's all. Well, it's not on the bucket list anymore. That sort of ended in 1979, and then if there was any doubt about it, I put paid to it in 2020. But they're still there. And Sousa went from being a going concern to ruins after a drunken party by Alexander's Macedonian. barbarians. And make no mistake, they were barbarians. The dominant cultured civilization of the time was not Greece, it was Persia. And in the modern

parlance, the ancient Greeks were the terrorists of the day. And so by the time Alexander comes along and decides to attack Persia, well, he crosses He crosses the Hellespont from Europe into Asia where eventually Constantinople would rise now Istanbul and marched

down the Levantine coast and eventually turned eastward chasing the Persian great king defeating the vast armies of Persia in a series of fierce battles and having taken the Persian capital at Susa well his boys got all liquored up

and went on a raping and pillaging spree I mentioned earlier they were well barbarians and Alexander is said to have wept at the ruins of Susa because he did a lot of weeping when he got to the Indus River Valley and his men finally said, listen, we're going to chop your fucking head off if we don't go home.

Well, Alexander wept again because there were no more worlds to conquer. Horset. He damn near died fighting the peoples there in the Indus River Valley. but he wept for there were no more worlds to conquer and he turned around and headed back for Babylon. A lot of his cohort did not make it because they had a hell of a hard time getting home. And this may seem like a long diversion, but the bottom line is he can't destroy what he did not create. He cannot destroy a civilization that in many ways invented the very idea. And of course, the number of American citizens who know any of what I have just mentioned is infinitesimally small.

We know it here, but we are not a representative sample of the lumpen proletariat of the New 90s. of America, the greatest country in the history of the world on earth now today, forever in the universe under God. Amen. No, not at all. But the whole, he's got what he wanted. The entire damn world fixated on 8 p.m. this evening. And the world can't help, but take him seriously, again, because he has a nuclear arsenal. he cannot destroy a thousands of years

old civilization with conventional weapons I was reading earlier today that he's used bunker busters moabs that won't destroy that civilization either so among other countries

Pakistan is taking him at his word and the prime minister of Pakistan Shibaz Sharif running over to what used to be Twitter, said, diplomatic efforts for peaceful settlement of the ongoing war in the Middle East are progressing steadily, strongly, and powerfully,

with the potential to lead to substantive results in the near future. To allow diplomacy to run its course, I earnestly request President Trump to extend the deadline for two weeks. Pakistan, in all sincerity, requests the Iranian brothers to open the Strait of Hormuz for a corresponding period of two weeks as a goodwill gesture. We also urge all warring parties to observe a ceasefire everywhere for two weeks to allow diplomacy to achieve conclusive termination of war in the interest of long-term peace and stability in the region. Asked about this. Caroline, real poo-poo, leave it alone. The Christian liar speaking to Fox News, TV, Radio Rwanda, said,

President Trump knows about the offer. A response will come. Well, he can't let the Pakistanis negotiate broker of ceasefire. You have to get inside. It's a nasty place, but you have to get inside his head and realize that what he's thinking right now is, well, if that prime minister, shoebox sheriff gets away with this, then I'll never get the Nobel Peace Prize. and I started this because I didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize in Greenland. But there are a lot of very, very nervous people. As of, well, just before airtime, there was a running count of some 20 Democrats

who were calling for the 25th Amendment, his removal from office, the list as follows. Representative Yasmin Ansari of Arizona She said Trump is escalating a devastating illegal war threatening massive war crimes and targeting civilian infrastructure in Iran In the last 48 hours alone The rhetoric has crossed every line

Pete Hegsseth is complicit I've called for the 25th Amendment and am introducing articles of impeachment against Hegsith Good for you, ma'am Oh God, we're going to have to do the civics thing again for the first time in a very long time we took a few minutes in yesterday's program to go through section four of the 25th amendment whose Byzantine intricacy makes it all but a nullity and ultimately if the president doesn't say yep I'm nuts and step down and let the vice president take over and go from acting president to president of the United States. states, then it takes a two-thirds vote in both the House and the Senate, where impeachment only takes a two-thirds vote in the Senate and a majority vote in the House. So good for you,

Representative I'm sorry. There's Ilhan Omar. This is not okay. Invoke the 25th Amendment, impeach, remove. This unhinged lunatic must be removed from office. I guess they're afraid to speak the obvious. Rashida Klaib After bombing a school and massacring young girls, the war criminal in the White House is threatening genocide. It's time to invoke the 25th Amendment. This maniac should be removed from office.

I have to ask the question. Who are they talking to when they say invoke the 25th Amendment? This is one of those act in haste, repentant, and leisure kind of moments. Because when the 25th Amendment was ratified, it contained a mechanism whereby Congress could establish a commission, independent of the White House, independent of Congress, to keep an eye on presidential sanity. And that amendment is only slightly younger than me. And at no time has the Congress seriously considered taking up that issue. Why?

Entropy? On we? I don't know. But as it stands, his Lick Spittle Cabinet is in charge of whether the 20, and, you know, Jimmy Dick Bowman, the J.D. Egg, whatever they're calling themselves these days, is in charge of whether or not to trigger the 25th. And before he does so, he has to cobble together a majority of the cabinet. And they simply aren't there.

His Commerce Secretary is Howard Nutlick. you think he's going to turn on daddy acting attorney general Todd Blanchie his defense lawyer who got him hung out to dry for 34 felonies no whiskey Pete keg breath if you think whiskey Pete's going to turn on him

you're drunkard than whiskey Pete is and on and on down the line but they're still saying these things Ed Markey of Massachusetts said Donald Trump must be removed from office Not only is he waging an illegal war, he is threatening war crimes. Congressman Markey, or Senator Markey, he's already committed war crimes. And so has every salute-snapping general and admiral who has carried out his illegal orders.

One reporter asked nitwit Nero, how would it not be a war crime to strike Iran's bridges and power plants? His answer, They're animals! It's not a far leap from animals to vermin. The man's been working out of the Nazi manual for his entire so-called political career. Senator Markey? I mean, Representative Shreith Anadar of Michigan,

Trump just threatened to slaughter 100 million people. It's clear he's unfit to be president. The 25th Amendment must be invoked. Vance Rubio and the others continue to be spineless cowards. Congress must do everything. possible to stop Trump in this war. How are you going to do that? You're going to retroactively take his money away?

You're going to zero out the Pentagon budget? But I guess his heart's in the right place. Diana DeJette of Colorado, Donald Trump is openly threatening war crimes against the entirety of Iranian civilization. 25th Amendment proceedings must begin immediately, but if the cabinet is too cowardly, the House should begin the impeachment process now.

She's been in the House for a while. She's a real veteran. There's the answer. Impeach now. Impeach yesterday. Representative Sidney Comlager Dove of California, I'm sick to my stomach. The fate of millions of innocent civilians now depends on the whims of a sick and demented man.

This is pure evil. Republicans, if there were ever a time to stand up, it's now. We must invoke the 25th Amendment before it's too late. Madam, you do not have the jurisdiction nor the public. power to invoke the 25th Amendment. You have one remedy. Impeachment, period. Congressman Pocan from Wisconsin. 25th Amendment, right now, Trump is too unhinged, dangerous, and deranged to have the nuclear codes. Summer Lee of Pennsylvania, this is sick and twisted from anyone, much less the

president of the United States. Trump's genocidal language and indiscriminate warfare cannot be normalized or accepted. He should be removed from office. Representative Delia Ramirez, Illinois, Trump's unhinged threats of violence and genocide are inexcusable. He's a warmonger escalating the conflict for his own profit and consolidation of power. My Republican colleagues can't keep turning a blind eye. He must be stopped and impeached. Julian Andreon. I'm sorry, no, that's the tweeter.

Representative, oh, there she is, Sarah McBride. in a political career defined by grotesque statements this president's horrifying, illegal, and genocidal threat this morning is among the most dangerous and appalling. Among? You can't shout fire in a crowded theater and president cannot be allowed to threaten genocide with the United States military.

Threats of war crimes and disregard for human life must be met with accountability under the law. Trump must go! And Republicans, whether in the cabinet or Congress, must join Democrats in use. any and all constitutional powers at our collective disposal to end this illegal war and take the gun out of this madman's hands. Melanie Stansbury, a real light in the Democratic caucus,

a young, a new member. This man is threatening mass killings and more crimes on social media posts. When will enough be enough? This is why the 25th Amendment and impeachment were created. These aren't policy difference. He's threatening crimes. he it's time to invoke the 25th see i told you she's a sharp one but we can't do it alone well congresswoman stands where you can't do it at all we need our republican colleagues to do the right thing for this country in the world you're republican colleagues rocana of california we need to invoke the 25th amendment and remove trump we again threatening war crimes is a blatant violation of our constitution in the geneva conventions

I mean, don't get me wrong. Congress has a role to play once he transmits a letter to the President Pro Tem of the Senate and the Speaker of the House saying, I'm not neither good cuckoo bananas. Woo-hoo, woo-hoo! Then there has to be a two-thirds vote in both houses to remove him. This is like a roll call of anything resembling decency. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts. This is not normal.

not just Trump being Trump. This is an insane man who's unfit for office and needs to be removed immediately. Maxwell Frost of Florida, Donald Trump is an unhinged warmonger and war criminal using violence for personal gain and profit while innocent people pay the price. We must stop this war immediately. Every

member of Congress must stand up to these threats and put an end to this before more lives are lost. Congress must reconvene to pass the war powers resolution. The 25th Amendment must also be invoked. Congress has to do our damn job war powers and impeachment. from Massachusetts, Ianna Presley.

This is a horrifying threat of genocidal war crimes. The lives of civilians and service members alike are at stake here. Congress must stop this war and remove Trump from the White House. Johnny Olshevsky of Maryland. Reckless, dangerous rhetoric from the most powerful office in the world, this isn't leadership. This is a threat to end millions of innocent lives, which would lead to catastrophic results for America and the world.

Congress should pass a war powers, resolution, and if there's any indication President Trump will follow through on this threat, the cabinet must invoke the 25th Amendment. Julie Johnson of Texas, Trump is acting recklessly. His war with Iran has already cost American lives. This is a serious conflict, not a reality show. Ah, she gets it. We need steady diplomatic leadership.

You're not going to get that from a little Marco. What we're seeing now is insane behavior from a deranged president. It's time to invoke the 25th Amendment. Sarah Jacobs of California The president just threatened genocide The Joint Chiefs of Staff Must disregard any such military orders That violate federal and international law

Republicans in Congress can't hide anymore We must consider all options Including impeachment to stop Trump Show of hands Does anybody Does anybody expect General Raisin To do anything but

Snap a salute and say Whoah! When Niro said let him up. Bonnie Watson, Coleman of New Jersey, that's it. Time to use the 25th Amendment. In just 48 hours, the president has gone from threatening war crimes to threatening genocide. He's clearly unstable and must be set aside.

Latifah Simon of California Democratic, well, there we go. The President of the United States threats this morning calling for an entire civilization to die, are chilling and sickening. Trump has already violated the Constitution. by waging war without authorization of Congress. His announcement now of intent to commit genocide puts him squarely in violation of the UN Genocide Convention, the Geneva Convention, and the Rome Statute. A sitting president cannot announce his intention

to commit these crimes and remain in office. A sitting president who puts our service members in danger is not fit to be commander-in-chief. A sitting president who has gleefully floated the death of millions of civilians and the destruction of a civilization with thousands of years of history is not fit to hold the powers of the presidency. I voted twice to advance articles of impeachment. We cannot wait. Congress must convene immediately and begin proceedings to remove the man from office for the safety of our nation, Americans, and the world. Are you noticing a pattern here?

Have you heard the word Republican once? Representative Robert Garcia of California, Donald Trump has lost his mind and his threats to wipe out the Iranian people. should be taken seriously. He's out of control in his cabinet, and those around him must be loyal to the Constitution and invoke the 25th Amendment. He must be removed. Shelly Pengree of Maine.

I'm not on this platform much anymore, so sharing my blue sky post from Sunday. The president spent Easter on social media openly talking about committing war crimes like he's live posting a sporting event. This man has the nuclear codes. The cabinet and Congress must confront the obvious. Time for the 25th Amendment.

Rob Menendez of New Jersey. The 25th Amendment needs to be invoked. He's threatening demise in an entire country. This is beyond acceptable. This shows that the President is unfit to serve. This is not a partisan issue. This is about all members of Congress, all Americans, raising our voices to stop the President from the dangerous course he has put our country on.

If the President refuses to de-escalate the situation, the Vice President and the Cabinet, must act to invoke the 25th Amendment. That is where we are and there's no way around it. We cannot sit idly by while we watch an unhinged, erratic president drag us deeper into wars and conflicts that do not serve the interests of the American people. The time to act is now. Representative April McLean Delaney of Maryland, Donald Trump, saying a whole civilization will die tonight is beyond reckless, it's inhumane.

No leader should speak about human lives of this kind of indifference. America should stand for peace, dignity, and responsibility, not threats that put innocent people at risk. Threatening to destroy an entire civilization is both morally indefensible and effectively a declaration of war, something a president has no authority to initiate without congressional approval. Such a blatant and unethical overreach of executive power is grounds for impeachment, which I'm calling for. Representative Nekima Williams of Georgia. Donald Trump is unfit to serve as the leader of the free world. why I've co-sponsored H. Res. 939 articles of impeachment to remove him from office.

Representative Steve Cohen of Tennessee. Trump's proposed attacks on civilian infrastructure in Iran tonight must be stopped. Calling for the end of Persian civilization is a call for genocide, and any decent human being must oppose it. Representative Joaquin Castro of Texas, the president is threatening genocide and possible use of nuclear weapons against Iran. It's clear the president has continued to decline and is not the president. it to lead, the members of his cabinet must invoke the 25th Amendment immediately. AOC, this is a threat of genocide, and merits removal from office. The President's mental faculties are collapsing and cannot be trusted.

To every individual in the President's chain of command, you have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat. And finally, finally. Well, you'll notice Don Bacon, who we had a clip of being clueless in yesterday's program, Republican from Nebraska. He ain't there. Neither is any other Republican member of the House or Senate. And among the Democrats in that list, it probably could be updated. Maybe it has only one senator, only one Democratic senator, Senator Markey of Massachusetts. has said anything.

But then, then this. Former Representative Marjorie Taylor Green. All caps. 25th Amendment. Not a single bomb has dropped on America. We cannot kill an entire civilization.

This is evil and madness. And lo and behold, the responses to Marginal Trailer Queen are as unhinged as Donald Trump himself. Make no mistake. there are people in this country with a taste for genocide.

Anyone who takes this literally is dumb. People still don't understand this man. No one knows the meaning behind his statement except Trump. He says things and is so not literal a lot. He is also literal a lot. No one knows what this means except Trump. And then there's Melinda Ann. how ignorant are you

the good people of Iran will finally live in peace just stop talking already you continue to make yourself look dumb how are they going to live in peace when they're fucking dead Melinda Ann Mullah Moses Mike Johnson will gleefully watch mushroom clouds sprout as though they're real mushrooms after a warm spring rain all over Iran and he will do so looking at to the heavens, waiting for the return of Jesus Christ.

Oblivious to the fact that if the Jesus of 2,000 years ago showed up, he'd call ice on him, and probably have him murdered in the streets. No wonder he doesn't want to come back. But then again, maybe he has. Maybe this Jesus was just an avatar of other holy men and women. Maybe it's a traveling spirit. generation to generation maybe he came back in the form of Gandhi

killed him too maybe he came back in the form of Dr. King killed him too and like I said the maggots will never recognize him because he won't be a blonde-haired blue-eyed man with a neatly tailored beard

walking around in a toga with a crown on God, chilling, isn't it? As Reverbo points out, what has been so obviously clear is the Republican Party's complicity in our country's dangerous decline. Yeah. Randy Radar says he just thinks he has the nuclear football. The American intelligence community has probably rigged it

so that if he cracks it open, he'll find a Fisher-Price dialophone set inside. I mean, that's cute. But it's unrealistic. and the nuclear codes what we call the nuclear codes just being in sort of limbo is almost as terrifying as what's going on now you know I was I was about

my mom was about six months into her pregnancy with me when the Cuban Missile Crisis happened and as I said before I wish I had realized that and asked her how she felt I don't know if I would have gotten a good answer or a solid answer, but I'd like to have known

because here we are now. And this is actually more, this is more terrifying than the Cuban missile crisis because with the Cuban missile crisis, we knew that there were people on both sides who really did not want to engage

in that mutual assured destruction. And of course, we don't know what we don't know in this situation. I suspect Pouty has been really quiet, about this. Iran is an ally, but he's also the master of Krasnov. China? China's not going to issue a threat. I wonder if his buddy Kim Jong-un has given him a call and said, oh, don't do this. No, no. Randy Radar says the president is a deranged, grandiose, dark tetrad, and only I will say that.

Yeah, but you got to say it here, Randy Radar. Weeping Alexander. The Camel Cardinal, brother Deacon, A, says, Alexander was plum-civilized compared to some others who have tried. Fourteen and a half centuries later, a far more ruthless, bloodthirsty thug tried to burn it all down. He went home empty-handed. Okay.

Help a girl out. Who are you talking about? 14 and a half centuries later. So that would be, what, 1,100 of the common era? Expected, but still scary. Stephen New York points out from the bulletin of the atomic scientists. Yeah, we talked about this a week or so ago. 85 seconds to midnight, deeply unsettling.

Lee in New York asking, does Congress have an orthopedic doctor? Spines must be found to have the 25th. Amendment achieve anything. Well, we'll need to order up a set of them for the cabinet, too. And you know, the funny thing is, there are extant recordings, for instance, of Jimmy Dick Bowman or whatever their name is, talking about what a danger Trump is, and of little Marco Rubio doing the same thing, until Mitt Niro bullied him a little bit. Where are the former members of his cabinet? Are any of the for-profit media multi-millionaire outlets asking questions of, oh, what was his name? The former CEO of Exxon Mobil, Rex Tillerson?

One day you're the most powerful corporate head in the world, and the next day you're getting fired by a man who sells meat through the mail. I don't think your math is mathing, Lee, in New York. Asa said 1,400 years later after Alexander. So you have to take Alexander plus 1,400. Although Lee points out that 2026 minus 1,400 equals 626. And that would be the armies of Muhammad. Ah, thank you. There we are.

There's the answer. Jenghis Khan in 1219. Thank you, Brother Deacon Asa. You know, Alexander's forces got, his closest cohort got mad at him to the point of dangerously mad at him because they said that he was getting all sissified by them Oriental ways because eventually Alexander, who was a long-haired Greek barbarian, started oiling his curls just like the Persians did back then. Yeah, there you are. is a this is a deeply ironic rom-alama ding-dong Steve

thank god we don't have Joe Biden he was so old last night I don't know what possessed me but Victoria went along with my suggestion and we watched the old movie All the President's men

Robert Redford Dustin Hoffman God Jason Robards Hal Holbrook Jack Warden talk about I mean, they assembled one hell of a cast for that movie. And it was wild to see, you know,

and Woodward and Bernstein were basically cub reporters at the time. And what a favor Hollywood and Robert Redford did for those two guys, because neither one of them looked even remotely like Robert Redford, in the case of Bob Woodward or Dustin Hoffman

in the case of Carl Bernstein. But the difference between then and is that even those absolute criminals, some of them criminally insane, G. Gordon Liddy comes to mind, they did feel constrained by the Constitution. They were just doing insane things

in service of the rampant paranoia of their boss, Tricie Dick. From Daryl in Houston, subject line Iran, Why doesn't Iran just hack the Epstein files, if not the purged ones in the U.S., and then the ones in Israel or Russia, and release the photos of the horribly disgusting, grotesque orange pervert, and put us all out of our misery? I reckon Iran assumes probably correctly that this would guarantee a nuclear strike by the filthy creature. It might, because remember all of this is in service to trying to keep the Epstein files on the D.L. and recall that

Representative Thomas Massey, who by the way, has not tweeted anything about getting rid of nitwit Nero, said that he would look toward preferring criminal charges against Todd Blanchie should he not release the remainder of the Epstein files because Todd Blanchie said, well, we're done with all that.

And we have to be cognizant. I thought a lot about, well, Lee, that's true. The reporter did not look like Robert Redford. Really, Roxanne? What reporter looks as good as Robert Redford? I'll wait. You'll be waiting a while. That's why they were reporters.

Nerds! Nerds! As Tina Fey would declare in 30 Rock. Literally, faces and voices made for print. But it was interesting to... Jason Robarts did some... such a good job as Ben Bradley. Not a likable character.

And he, I couldn't watch it without the benefit of 2020 hindsight. It was Ben Bradley, who, along with Catherine Graham, would cave during a Ron Contra when Iran Contra's evidence against Ronald Reagan was far stronger than the evidence against Richard Nixon in the beginning of Watergate.

Lost his nerve? I don't know. But in yesterday's program, I ran that extended clip from Alex Jones, in which he babbled about being horrified by what he had heard, and this latest tripe hadn't even come out yet. And there are always accomplices. Got a clip here from Fox News TV.

radio Rwanda that'll be stomach turning. Note coming in from Sylvie, Putin's triumph. Decades ago, when the Soviet Union fell, Vladimir Putin stated, literal sense, above all, it must be acknowledged, the collapse of the Soviet Union, the largest or greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century. What is significant as this? Putin then swore that he would destroy America for what it had done. Trump is a blunt instrument in his hands. if DJT does go nuclear committing the worst war crime in the history of Earth, America as a nation,

could well be destroyed. Do not look to Putin as any kind of savior. This is playing directly into his hands and his plans. I do not, Sylvie. That's why I said, you know, the whole idea of mutual assured destruction that undergirded the Cuban missile crisis and the entirety of the Cold War is not here. nitwit Nero doesn't think there is a mutually assured destruction aspect to any of this

he thinks that Iran cannot fight back Trump TV, Balmer Bob says Trump's degenerate version of reality TV scheduled for tonight is at best his latest stock market manipulation ploy the markets went down today in advance of tonight's show that sets up a killing for insider traders who already know the show's outcome the S&P 500 is Trump's traffic light

how would you like your taco I'll take mine Bob says without Armageddon yeah and you know after an entire day and I'm not the only one

after an entire day of having my cortisol spike through the freaking roof I did begin to settle down eventually when I realized this is his whole you're getting your answer in 24 hours or 48 or whatever.

This is a ratings ploy. And you know what? The members of the multimillionaire for-profit media are probably eating it up because people are tuning in to find out if the world's going to end. And Flavio noting the for-profit media. Yeah, where is that hard-hitting, intrepid journalist Jake Tapper when we need him? Crickets.

Well, yesterday, Flavio, he was interviewing Don Bacon. and saying things like, well, of course Iran is evil. Really? Really, Jake Tapper? Those innocent little schoolgirls who were murdered? With your taxpayer dollars? They were evil, Jake Tapper? Flavio adds, though, but really more than deflecting attention from the Epstein files, all these Trump doings everything, everywhere all at once is,

I think, to distract us from the fact that Trump, his cronies and his spawn are literally fleecing us blind by the time they're done, yeah, with a graphic of a guy naked wearing a barrel, this will be the U.S.A. But what I was getting at a moment ago, in yesterday's clip from Alex Jones, we had a classic case of someone who was getting it right for all the wrong reasons. You know, it couldn't help getting in a dig at the Democrats along the way, but the Democrats aren't the ones who have ever threatened genocide. Well, we've got another example of that. And, you know, take this with a grain of salt. This is just gross. And here he is the boy who thinks it's gay for men to have sex with women.

Nick Fuentes, white supremacist. Once again, every time you run across a white supremacist, you find that they really don't have anything supreme about them. yesterday on Easter Sunday. He said, quote, Tuesday will be power plant day and bridge day, all wrapped up in one in Iran. There will be nothing like it. Open the fucking straight, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell. Just watch.

Praise be to Allah, President Trump. And I don't know about you, but I saw this yesterday. And like Marjorie Green and like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens. and everybody else. This is disturbing. It's actually sickening. And I'm not that guy. I think you know that about me.

I'm not really one to be a bleeding heart or to clutch my pearls or to be sanctimonious about this sort of thing. But it's everything about this. It's everything about it. It's bad enough that we are in a war in Iran without a reason, without a plan B, an exit strategy,

a plan, It's not enough that we're being lied to about it, that we're doing it for Israel. Americans are dying and Trump is totally flippant about that. But it's Easter Sunday. It's literally the holiest day of the year and this is what you post. Not happy Easter, not Christ is risen, nothing. You threaten to bomb Iran, which is bad enough by itself. But then it's the profanity.

Open up the fucking straight, you crazy bastards. Tomorrow we're bombing all your infrastructure. And then mocking God. And then praise be to Allah. And then mocking God in the middle of it as well. And this is when you realize Trump. Wait a minute. Is this little dipshit acknowledging that Allah and Yahweh, Allah, are the same great big

bearded juvenile delinquent in the sky. Well, you know, take your wins where you can get them. That's kind of a step forward. I wonder if this little creep is in his bunker now or something, because this is a clip about yesterday. Trump is evil. He's not a bad president. He's not surrounded by bad advisors or bad personnel or people that are disloyal or not

giving him good advice. I've been trying to say this for years. It's him. He is the problem. He has always been the problem. Really? For years? This entire time.

Any way you want to cut it. No, this entire time doesn't mean what I think he thinks it means. Because the fact of the matter is, he was more than happy to sit down to dinner. Him and the artist known as the. down at Magaloko with the man who says he's evil and that he's been trying to warn people all this time. He was sitting there sharing an overdone bad New York strip state, probably with ketchup,

and grinning like a fox eating shit out of a wire brush. Oh no, no, historical revisionism for you, little Nick Fuentes. No, no, no, no, no. It's not the people under him. It's not the people around him. It's not people failing him. It's him. And it's him at his core.

It is because he is a completely hollow and wicked person. Who else? What other kind of person could say something like this? Jesus, you know, when the anti-Semitic, no kidding, Nazis calling you wicked and evil, well. And when he says, he's not a bad president, he's not surrounded by bad. advisors are bad personnel. Yes, he is. He's surrounded by the worst kind of bad personnel. Nialists. People who will do anything to access power. I spend way too much time thinking about this stuff. But no, I don't, because this is how we, this is how we sort this stuff out.

Because in all the 25th Amendment talk, you have to pay attention. Well, let's go back and put this in context. I have said for a long time that J.D. Vance has to get Trump to January the 21st, 2027 in order to achieve his goals. Because only after the halfway point of Trump's second term, or of a presidential term, generally, only after the halfway point does the vice president get to have two of his own terms creating the possibility of a 10-year presidency but after going through the 25th Amendment again yesterday I realized something

namely the 25th Amendment refers to the vice president supplanting the president of the United States as and they use capital A capital P acting president not the actual president of the United States. He can't be the president of the United States

until and unless two-thirds of the House and two-thirds of the Senate agree to remove the president from office. And that's fascinating in conjunction with the fact that there is a time frame set out in the second paragraph of Section 4 of the 25th Amendment. That's where the vice president and a majority of either the principal officers, etc., transmit within four days to the president pro tem of the Senate and the speaker, their written declaration the president is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.

Okay. That's after the president has written to the president pro tem and the speaker saying, no-uh, not crazy. Not crazy, he's crazy. not a puppet, you're the puppet. Well, bear in mind that Congress is not in session. So after they get the yeah he is letter in response to the n-uh-a-letter, thereupon Congress shall decide the issue,

assembling within 48 hours for that purpose, if not in session. If the Congress, within 21 days after received the latter written declaration, or if Congress is not in session within 21 days after Congress is required to assemble, so they're not in session, so it would be 21 days plus four days, that's 25 days, determines by two-thirds of both vote of both houses that the president is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. The vice president shall continue to discharge the same as acting president. Otherwise, the president shall resume the powers and duties of his office. It's not abundantly clear when,

the acting president becomes the president. But what's equally unclear is it says that there shall be a vote within 21 days after Congress is required to assemble. And I suppose that's the debate period, but one wonders if it can be strung out.

And then, well, I realized it gets, it's actually better this way for Jimmy Dick. Because if he's only acting president all the way to the end of this term, well, he still gets, he actually, it actually works out better for him than if it, then under the January 21st, 2027 scenario. Because then he just gets to run for two terms of his own running for president for the first time. And either way, you wind up with a potential 10-year presidency.

So one of the questions you have to ask is, is Jimmy Dick bold enough to finally, well, you know, when the aides of March of 44 BCE rolled around, a lot of knives went into Julius Caesar, but the killing stroke, according to the historians, seems to have come from Brutus, whom Caesar had treated like a son, hence the Shakespeare line about Et Tu Brute. this is some this is some top shelf Byzantine wrangling and it's all it's all well and good with Southern Baptist minister, pastor, brother Mullah Moses, Mike Johnson because he can just sit back on his heels and say well you know if J.D. Vance wants to do anything J.D. Vance can do something but until then I don't have anything I got to do.

Micah noting think of what the life expectancy of people who live through this era is going to look like 20 years down the line. Just the cortisol spikes alone today probably took five years off me. I'm not so worried about JD. He has the charisma of a goldfish on the way to the toilet. I don't think Micah means that the goldfish, no, the goldfish is being buried at sea. I would, I would worry. I would worry. Because the level of instability that would attain would mean that he has to fire those who opposed him and keep the ones who support him. him. But that math doesn't math. Oh, no. All you have to do is get a list of the principal officers of the executive branch. And it's hard to imagine. Well, okay, he has the charisma of a goldfish on the way to the toilet. What is a person with that kind of charisma? What kind of chance does he have of convincing the other members of the cabinet to join him? in aides of marching figuratively, not literally, knit went narrow.

Who we? What a time to be alive. Meanwhile, the rest of the world is getting a mite nervous. Well, I think it's moot too, the 25th Amendment. Mike, I do. But you've got a lot of people who actually have power in Congress saying that that's how this has to be handled. I read that list for a reason. 25th Amendment now. It was trending as a hashtag over on what used to be Twitter.

Now, Reverbo says, you've got to love how these anti-American anti-democratic ass faces try to tell us, I'm not that guy. When all they ever were is that guy. Yeah, Alex Jones, Nick Plentes. A lot of influencers ran to social media declaring, well, Crystal Ball, for instance. posting genuinely one of the most proudly evil men of all time military needs to revolt in the same country he would be immediately removed this is madness well crystal there's only a problem there's a problem here there's no mechanism for a military revolt the framers of the constitution were cognizant of that possibility and so there is nothing inside the constitution that allows that to happen so if the military revolts and gets rid of him. Guess what they get rid of at the same time, Crystal? The Constitution. Another influencer over on what used to be Twitter, Brian Krasenstein said,

This is literally a genocide. What the F is wrong with him? I warn you all about this man. Now, the words of Nekli Hassan, I do take seriously. He said that these are the ravings of a homicidal maniac and sociopath. Well, you know, I do take you seriously, sir. no not a sociopath he's a psychopath honey it's this is this is a case of people being terrified and not knowing which way to turn and not knowing how to act and well ask anybody who's ever lived under a military dictatorship how that how that feels i know the former pope francis dead pope frank said he felt terrible about how he collaborated with the

Argentine coup that was throwing people out of helicopters. Felt terrible about that. Stayed with him all his life. Mika says impeachment or bust, that or ride it out the next two and a half years. And as to people like Mullah Moses' Mike sitting on their hands, that's because at this point, it goes back to the point that they don't really have a problem with dictators so long as it's their dictator. They're starting to figure out why that it's not a good thing, though.

they're not bright enough to actually think it all the way through. All dictators suck, yes, even the ones you like, and or liked. Right, because they're dictators. Well, here we are, almost to the halfway point of the program. I hate to even bring this up. But, well, assuming we're here tomorrow, it would be great if we weren't at $1,540, meaning five unfunded days of the month of April

we're at 1240 I once worked briefly at a radio station whose frequency was 1240 on the AM dial yeah 1240

and we could that means today yesterday Friday Thursday and we've got $40 remaining of last Wednesday before tomorrow gets here. So if we can knock any of that down, it would be great.

Sorry about the pitch. But if he doesn't roast the world in the next 24 hours, we still have bills to pay here to keep this conversation going. And the whole, yeah, my dictator is better than your dictator thing. I mentioned that Alex Jones was blathering. yesterday about the Democrats ruining everything

blah blah blah blah blah blah blah well so you know he's still the same shit bird

that he was and it's pretty much across the board so here's our little nutmeg of course Santa Claus is white Kelly

who's talking about the possibility of nitwit nero starting a nuclear holocaust get the hockey puck they're crazy all i think about when i think about the democrats is those very unattractive people in minneapolis that's when i think democrat that's what i think i think i think beautiful i think them and i think crazy alissa slotkin like lecturing pete heggsett like i know i know you've done your genia flexion that's smug arrogant i'm better than you i look down my nose on you even though you've done three tours of duty.

Like, F you. I, like, that to me, I could never vote for, never. I mean, honestly, Trump could drop a nuke, and I'd still vote Republican over those people. Because they want to. In some ways, I really am. But honestly, they, what they want to do is nuke our own country. You know, it's like the open border, what they're doing to children, all that stuff is still. They would do it all if put back in power.

And I think most Republicans know that, which is why we have. that sound bite from Harry Enton. And here's a... What they would do to children? What they do to children? The Democrats? Well, remember, this is the same nutmeg who defended Jeffrey Epstein

and said, well, it's not like he was fucking children. He'd like to fuck like 15-year-old girls. And still has a job. Can you imagine if Tom Hartman said something like that? Or Stephanie Miller? They would not be on the air anymore. But, no, I okay, I am.

Trump could... I mean... Jesus Christ. I mean, honestly, Trump could drop a nuke, and I'd still vote Republican over those people. Well, and this is why America is perhaps irretrievably broken. and they never be able to get well. And we,

no, that was nutmegan Kelly, not nutmegan McCain, Micah. There's two nutmegs. As to Alyssa Slotkin, Micah says, that's my senator,

I largely agree with her, but fuck her, keep Slotkin's name out of your mouth. Yeah, this is Megan Kelly who said that it was that Jeffrey Epstein only liked to fuck 15-year-old girls, not like to fuck 15-year-old girls, not,

not five-year-old girls. Oh, yeah, y, y. And so the maggots are tearing themselves into pieces. Let's not forget testicle-toasting Tuckio Rose Carlson, who issued a stirring Jeremiad against his former daddy. Remember, testicle toasting Tuckio Rose was bounced out of Fox News TV radio Rwanda when rupee had to pay some several millions of dollars to women that testicle toasting Tokyo Rose

masculine man of masculinity, manliness, sexually harassed them. Yeah. But, well, testicle toasting Tokyo Rose has his Christianity on now. And you have to think through, like, could there be a spiritual component to what we're watching? Is it just a conventional, escalation ladder in a badly thought out war with ill-defined goals and we just wound up in this

really tough place where we face either humiliation on the one side or a nuclear, you know, a nuclear launch on the other. That's, yeah, that's part of what it is, but could it be something bigger than that? Is it possible that what you're watching is a very stealthy yet incredibly effective attack on what from a Christian perspective is the true faith, belief in Jesus. Is that what really is under attack here? Maybe that's what's been under attack for a long time.

Maybe our whole lifetime. Maybe almost everything we see is an attack on that faith. The one faith that is always attacked. Always in everywhere for 2,000 years. Many faiths have been attacked. Many religious people of different religions have been killed over the past 2,000 years. Yeah, the Jewish people in Europe of a hundred years ago would like a word. But there's been only one sustained effort to exterminate a faith.

And that's the Christian faith. Could that be part of it? And is it possible that the president sees this not just in geostrategic terms and military terms and economic terms got to open the straight? Okay. Is it possible the president sees this in bigger terms? sees this as the fulfillment of something or the elevation to some higher office beyond president of the United States. That's entirely possible.

And that's not an attack, but it's also not a guess. Because at every turn since the inauguration last January, there have been religious leaders on the scene telling us, telling us out loud, most of us ignored it because we're just so secular, we're just sort of ignore it. got some sleazy Southern Baptist preacher who says whatever for money. Okay, got it. We've ignored that this could actually be real. There's something going on here.

Okay. Tuckio Rose, I'll take the bait. Maybe there's something fundamentally wrong with Christianity. And no, Christianity has not been under attack for 2,000 years. I actually know a little bit of the history about the faith. Now, make no mistake. Christians have a multi-hundred of years history of slaughtering each other.

Well, there's that little story about the two the two priests who are talking. A Dominican looks at the Jesuit and says, so you're Jesuit, why are we all founded? and he says, well, we were founded to wipe out the Protestant heresy. Looks at the Dominican, or maybe he's a Benedictine. Yeah, Benedictine.

I don't know, mine. And it says, what about y'all? And he says, well, we were founded to wipe out the Albigensian heresy. Jesuit says, hmm, okay. Benedictine says, you know what the difference is between us? Jesuit says, no, he says, don't see any Albigensians running around anymore, do you? But here in the mid third decade of the 21st century, I can open a browser every day and find yet another story of yet another priest,

yet another youth minister who's been busted fucking little boys and fucking little girls. Yeah, there's something wrong internally because they sort of, well, Christianity, once it got a bit of power about it, lost the plot. Going back to what Baltimore Bob said, how would you like your taco? I'll take mine with that Armageddon. Jimmy in the Great Northwest says, I'll take my taco with no dumb shit and extra impeachment. And from George and Corsgold, going back to Watergate, Insiders said that, Ricky Dick was desperately trying to keep secret the Bay of Pigs thing, code for the JFK assassination.

Nixon was running the efforts to overthrow or eliminate Castro for Eisenhower. And yeah, that even shows up in the script to Oliver Stone's JFK movie and was hotly contested Bob Haldeman in his autobiography, his memoir. Bob Holderman, who had a ghostwriter, said later in life that he never used the phrase, the Bay of Pigs thing, that that was a creation of his ghostwriter. So, yeah, thanks, George. That's all, yeah. Flavio agreeing with Ms. Micah says,

call me a purist, but Alyssa Slotkin voted for Christy Knoem, along with six other Democrats. I know. to their eternal shame. Now let's now let's move on to the ones who voted for Jojo Blondie, Whiskey Pete Kegbreath, or frankly any other member of Trump's cabinet.

And self-victimization. Kim in New York says, Good night, nurse. Thousands of people were killed for their religion in the last 2,000 years, mainly by who? Carlson. Christians! The fact that Christians think their religion is under attack

is almost laughable. I think he means that white Christians are endangered. Carlson feels threatened by those colored people who are becoming the majority. It is to laugh. Yes, t-he-he-he-he, Kim. It is risable. Yeah, the black plague comes to mind. When good God-fearing upstanding Bible believe in Christ-centered evil, well, good Roman Catholic Christians, slaughtered the Jews because word got around that the black plague was transmitted because the Jews were poisoning the wells.

Or that the Jews were kidnapping little Christian babies and using their blood to make matza. That's the origin of the term, the blood libel. Oh, and with Passover over, is that okay? That doesn't make, yeah, well, whatever. with Passover having passed. I was in Kroger the other day, and, you know, they used to have my Kroger a nice little ethnic food section in which they would, you know, there were jars of pickled herring and herring and cream sauce and yummy. And what, Gifiltha fish and Mazzabal soup mix?

It disappeared eons ago, but I was going to. I was leaving Kroger's the other day. On a hold, there were four boxes on the shelf of Manashevitz, Mazzibal soup, not the soup mix, just the Motsubal mix. I'm responsible for the chicken soup. I snatched up all four boxes. I haven't had good Monsabal soup in ages. But, yeah, and honestly, Christianity invents, I know it's not Wednesday,

but we're dealing with history here and testicle toasting Tuckio Rose Carlson is purporting to know things that he goes on to lie about history does not show us a lot of cases

of strictly religious warfare before the rise of Christianity anywhere anywhere. There's just not a lot of examples. The Romans

would go to war, but they went to practical people, the Romans, they went to war because they wanted other people shit. We just got done with the month of March, named after the god of war, Mars,

because it was war-making season. your yeoman freeman farmer would get his crops in the ground and then gather up his armor and his swords and his helmet a horse if he was a member of the equates and go off to join the legions and go steal go kill and rape and pillage some people and steal their shit Caesar was said to have suppressed the druids but it wasn't because they were heretical to the Roman pantheon it was because the the druids were the center of power in Celtic societies. But don't tell Tuckio Rose. Well, you heard everything he said there, and now, well, the maggots didn't like this one little bit. The maggots heard that, and one hardcore cancerous dead-ender, Ian Miles Chong, said, Tucker Carlson suggests that Donald Trump is the end.

antichrist. Everyone in the administration should be forced to respond to this. Anyone who does not condemn Tucker in the harshest terms should be fired on the spot. Top officials need to be asked on video what their thoughts are on this. Well, testicle toasting Tuckio Rose didn't bring it up. Bring it up, but, well, doesn't the beast get a mortal wound to the head from which he miraculously recovers? Isn't that somewhere in there? I feel like it is.

And, you know, we were sold this bill of goods back in the summer of 2024 that nitwit Niro had received a grievous and mortal wound to the head, but miraculously recovered. Hmm. Oh, sorry. Passover is not over, says Lee. Seven days in Israel, eight elsewhere. It ends Thursday at sunset.

Well, gosh, I hope I didn't fuck anybody over because I bought those four boxes of Mata. They were already marked down to like a dollar and ten cents a box. So I figured nobody else had any useful. Oops. My apologies. Thanks, Lee. On the other hand, there was Laura Looney, who said,

By riding people up with lies of about how President Trump is the Antichrist. Tucker Carlson appears to be trying to incite someone to physically harm President Trump. How can anyone who claims to be loyal to the president continue making excuses for Tucker? I hate Tucker Carlson. Okay, Laura. I got to admit it's kind of ironically humorous to hear a hardcore cancerous dead-ender, lick-spittal maggot complaining about stochastic terrorism

when that's what both of his presidencies have consisted of in primarily. Another creep, Nathan Livingstone, said, In 2021, Tucker Carlson called Donald Trump a demonic force, a destroyer, but he's not going to destroy us. Then in 2024, Tucker campaigned for Trump's presidency, including speaking at his rallies. Now in 2026, he's calling Trump the Antichrist. This is not a healthy person.

And from Michael, did you? ever think in however many years you've been around that you would see this i'm in my 52 years i never thought we would be here i was born during carter so i don't know much about him uh then uh you know deer reagan and i saw the farm crisis in iran contra uh bush in the gulf war clinton was the blow job in the oval office and is balancing the budget Bush at 9-11 and pissing away Clinton's balanced budget, the 2008 housing crisis, then Obama, the first president I voted for. I never thought I would see what Trump 2.0 does daily, and the Republicans are too big a

pussies to actually do anything to stop him. But by all means, keep saying Biden was sniffing little girl's hair. Fuck those fuckers. Well, they had to because there was nothing to have on Biden. Yeah, I know. I was born under Kennedy, and my political awareness started in 1968 with the murder of Dr. King. Didn't know a lot, but I knew something awful had happened. And then by the time Watergate rolled around, I was sitting right in front of that, well, we got our first color TV in 1973.

So I was sitting around the television with my mom and dad, taking it all in. And they took the time to explain to me what was going on. My father taking time to point out, yeah, that Haldeman and Ehrlichman, they're both Nazis. He may have been right. Micah points out, yeah, born under Reagan, because of course. Well, here you are. And I've been watching my notifications this whole time. You might find this interesting.

It turns out, you know, in yesterday's program we had that clip from Israel Channel 14. Well, I found out earlier today, and this wasn't from Alex Jones or anything, this was a report from the Associated Press. It was actually talking about how many times Nitwit Niro, has in fact tacoed, but I ran across this quote at the bottom of that article. On an Israeli TV station,

Channel 13, the evening newscast showed a large digital clock counting down the hours and minutes to Tuesday's deadline. Why would you do that? Just a simple question. I guess they've stopped the clock on Channel 13

because Nitwit Niro has in fact tacoed I'm looking at a report from the Guardian now. He went to tripe social and tripe the following. I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be double-sided ceasefire. It's subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the complete immediate and safe opening of the Strait of Hormuz.

It happened literally moments ago. That opens the question. did he mean was he going to do it or was this all another goddamn bluff of course overnight we slaughtered more iranians we attacked bridges rail bridges highway bridges a petrochemical plant that he said he wasn't going to yeah this may this makes him no less insane Flavio sent this along A photo of Ari Melburgh with the

banner Trump delays Iran deadline Woo! Says Flavio, the world gets a reprieve Says he spoke with Kier Starmor and Taco. Yeah, he would never give the Pakistanis Credit, I suppose. Yeah, you're right.

Micah says, dude's nuts. Yeah, he is. and nothing saying you won't do it anyway. Well, now understand, I'm saying this in the southern way. Bless the Iranians, bless the Mullah's hearts. Every time they've agreed to sit down and negotiate, nitwit Nero has run another sneak attack. We got two so far.

Religious war, Daryl, in Houston, writes, In the before Judeo-Christian times, it's my understanding that when one culture defeated another in war, the defeated populace just assumed the victors' gods must be stronger than theirs, so they switched to allegiance. After all, what difference does it make what statue you display in your hovel and make wishes to? Religious crazy-ass fundamentalism, as far as I can tell, is mostly a symptom of monotheism. Although the Hindu-Muslim spat between India and Pakistan is an exception. Admittedly, I know dooddy-squat about religious conflicts in the Far East cultures.

Yeah, they might be motivated, but it wasn't, it wasn't. wasn't the sole purpose. I mean, Lord, Hindu cultures. Oh, you've got a God? Here, here. Let me, let me move Krishna over a little bit. Okay, we're, push, push Ganesha a little bit to the other side. Good.

There's a room for your God. Put your God right there. Welcome your God. And the Romans were pretty much the same. The legions took, It took to, oh, what was it, the Mithras cult, like ducks to water. The ISIS cult was well-liked as well. Sibeli, which was mostly a levantine goddess.

You don't want to know how she got her priests and priestesses. We've talked about it in the past. but yeah here we go again says Michael Mango Manchild will now say look at what I did or as I say anymore it's like

it's shaking big daddy and I help me it's shaking big daddy and I help make it and I helped we all knew he would do this why surely not because of the war crimes because he's admitted to and knowing him nothing will be done about them this is Mango Man Man Child's way of making the billion

wealthier in the stock market. Yeah, because today, the last couple of days, it's tanked, so buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, and tomorrow it'll go up, up, up, up, up, up. Because the fools in the market will think that we're back to where it's all frisbys and wheat checks for everybody. Jesus. And going back to the Albigensians. I had no idea, says Billable Rick, but the Catholic Church massacred the Albigensians in a 20-year war lasting from 1209 to 1229. It was called the Albigensian crusade and marked by extreme brutality,

with estimated total deaths ranging from over 200,000 to as high as 1 million, making it one of the bloodiest conflicts in European history. Albigensians, or Cathars, were a 12th-century dualist movement in southern France who believed in two Creator gods. the good God of Spirit and an evil God of matter. They viewed the physical world as a hellish prison, advocated for severe asceticism, rejected Catholic sacraments and hierarchies,

including marriage and procreation, and pursued salvation through a ritual called the Consolamentum, a baptism of the Spirit, administered by the perfect leaders, through the laying on of hands, which freed the soul from the evil god's realm. The Catholic Church viewed the Aborigensians as heretics, who must be destroyed,

because the church saw their views as fundamentally anti-Christian, particularly in their rejection of the Trinity, the resurrection, and the humanity of Christ. But what they most objected to was the Albigenzians didn't want to fuck and make new Catholics. Because, well, and you know, they wouldn't be massacred, but they would sort of pop up in the colonies in the United States later, in the form of a sect called the Shakers. And they too disdained marriage and particularly sexy time. Because of course the psychopath Paul,

whose real name was Saul, but he changed it because he went on the run. He said, your best bet was to not fuck at all, but if you were absolutely hell bet on fucking you should get married to do it and it was that kind of thinking that led the Catholic Church in the 13th century to slaughter the Alba Genzians.

Don't see a lot of Alba Genzians walking around now, do you? I know. Billable Rick says, you beat me too. The shakers were Latter-day Albagenzians. And curiously enough, one of my favorite bread recipes, oh my God, food porn in the middle of all of this, Jeff Smith, who turned out to be really problematic because he creepered on young boys.

He went by the name the frugal gourmet. He published a recipe once for something called a Shaker Daily Loat. This is one of the best bread recipes I have ever made. Worth the effort, just kind of, well, you know, I didn't know that about him. when I was making the recipe. It's kind of like the people who drive Teslas and say, we didn't know he was a crazy little fascist bastard

and have bumper stickers on their Teslas like that when we bought it. Yeah, there's that Latin phrase, Fabio. Cadite aos, no it anem dominus qui sunt aeus. A Latin phrase reportedly spoken by the commander of the Alvagenzian crusade prior to the massacre at Bezier, on 22 July 1209. A direct translation of the medieval Latin phrases, kill them for the Lord knows those that are his.

Papal Leggett and Cistercian Abbott Arnode Almulric was the military commander of the Crusade in its initial phase and leader of his first major military action of the crusade, the assault on Bessier, and was reported by Caesarius of Histerbach to have uttered the order. Less formal English translations have given to variance, yep, that's the one,

variance to such phrases as Kill them all, let God sort them out. Some modern sources give the quotation as Necaeos omnis deus Deus woskett, evidently a translation from English back into Latin. That never works out well. Kill them all, let God sort them out. Or, as Colonel Chivington

would reportedly say, at Sand Creek in Colorado, Kill them all. Mitz make lice. I know, Kim, you are as disgusted as am I. Are we supposed to bow down and thank him for not killing a civilization? Are the Republicans in the press going to kiss his ass and exclaim what a brilliant chess-playing leader he is? I'm not a betting, lady, Kim, but if I were, well, that's how I bet.

You'll never go broke, underestimating the decency of the modern multi-millionaire for-profit media. You know what I expect, Kim? Oh, my God. I'm going to say it. I'm going to hate myself. I would not be at all surprised to see someone say, Oh. Really, Kim.

Get the hockey puck and the duct tape. Oh, that was brilliant. Now he really does deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. I keep the hockey, you know, years ago. Brother Deacon Asa sent me the hockey pucks. I keep them at hand. And apparently, Micah has a new t-shirt.

My transformation into a bitter old woman is almost complete, as to the Shaker Daily Loak and Jeff Smith being a creeper. Micah said, Buffy fan and Firefly, Joss Whedon's a creeper too. It really is a significant issue, though. You know, what do we do with? that's like one of the oldest examples of that is

is it okay to watch Chinatown truly a great film from the 1970s but theuteur who made it Roman Polansky well he who's to say I mean who's to say Jeffrey Epstein didn't know

Roman Polansky right because what Jeffrey Epstein was into would have been right up Roman Polansky's alley I wonder if anybody ever searched the Epstein Files for Roman Polansky. We talked about the character and fitness of Jimmy Dick Bowman, and he had an embarrassing little moment earlier today. Jimmy Dick, or the JD Egg, or whatever they're calling themselves these days, had been dispatched to Hungary to try to prop up the electoral fortunes

of Wichtor Orban Because he's in trouble He was at something called MTK Sport Park For a Day of Friendship In Budapest And Jimmy Dick

Standing on stage says I whipped out his phone And said I'll get a special guest That asked that I give him a phone call And started dialing his phone and said Let's see let's hope he actually answers, is this going to be very embarrassing?

And holds it up, holds the phone up to the microphone. I'm sorry, the person you were trying to reach has a voicemail box that has not yet been set up. He was trying to dial daddy. And then he tried again, at which point Nitwit Niro answered. This was today. Uh, hello, Mr. President, how are you? And Nettwit Nero said, Hi, JD, could you give me a second?

I'm just... And then he realized that he was on speakerphone and the audience roared with laughter. But then he finally gathered what's left of his wits and said, I'll tell you, he's a fantastic man talking about Orban. We've had a tremendous relationship and he does a great job. It didn't allow people to storm your country and invade your country like other people have and ruin their countries. He's kept your country good.

Yeah, the storm the capital. Yeah, that's an interesting choice. Because Mittwitt Niro invited, well, January 6th. And earlier in the day, some reporter asked him from the Washington Post, can you reach a deal with Iran? And he said, I don't, unless I have a text message from Steve Whitkoff, and then he reached for his phone and found out he did have a message from Whitkoff. Wouldn't you like to know the subject of this message, he said?

And then a reporter interrupted him and said to, oh, by the way, the U.S. is striking targets on Harg Island. And, of course, Jimmy Dick had no idea whatsoever. What an evening. Well, he won't like the nitwit Nero will not like the headline from the New York Times. Trump announces two-week ceasefire backing down from threats of imminent devastation. God damn it, the New York Times can't even say genocide. President Trump agreed to a proposal by Pakistan shortly before his deadline for Iran to agree to reopen the Strait of Hormuzer face the death of the whole civilization. Does the New York Times have any purpose at all whatsoever?

That was another thing, that was another little takeaway I had watching all the President's men last night. The New York Times and the Washington Post were once at least formidable journalism outlets. talk about a ship that sailed and sunk. Those scenes from inside a recreated Washington Post newsroom, that humming hub of activity, the clattering of typewriters and teletypes, the offices of the editors and the managers, well, we know now that it probably looks nothing like that anymore.

That room probably has an echo. minute. How's the Dallas Morning News reporting this? Trump pulls back on his Iran threats for two weeks subject to ceasefire agreements. Trump also said he has proposed a workable 10-point peace plan that could help end the war the U.S. and Israel launched on February 28th. Well, at least the Dallas Morning News has the common decency to note that the United States and Israel did start that war. But as for the war itself, according to the New York Times, in a report today, apparently General Raisin warned Trump about starting the war, that he would seriously deplete the U.S. weapons inventory. But Whiskey Pete wanted to do it anyway, so he overruled General Raisin. the New York Times report by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan said, General Kane, the man Mr. Trump liked to refer to as Raisin Kane.

They spell it R-A-Z-I-N. It should be R-A-I-S-I-N. Had impressed the president years earlier by telling him the Islamic State could be defeated far more quickly than others had projected. Mr. Trump rewarded that confidence by elevating the general who had been an Air Force fighter pilot to be his top military advisor. General Kane was not a political loyalist, and he had serious concerns about a war with Iran, but he was very cautious in the way he presented his views to the president. Yeah, because he's completely out of his depth. He has no bit...

He's a post-turtle. Remember when the post-turtle story circulated about George W. Bush? You see a turtle on a post, and you know a couple of things immediately, one of them. he has no idea how he got there and no idea how to get down well general raisin is a post turtle the article at the times went on to say as the small team of advisors who were looped into the plans deliberated over the following days general raisin shared with mr to doom to dum do dum shared... No singing. No humming even. General Kane shared with Mr. Trump and others the alarming military assessment

that a major campaign against Iran would drastically deplete stockpiles of American weaponry, including missile interceptors whose supply had been strained after years of support for Ukraine and Israel. General Raisin saw no clear path to quickly replenishing these stockpiles. Mitwit Niro did it anyway. because Bibi Netanyahu spent an hour haranguing him and is now reportedly the principal figure

urging Trump not to do a ceasefire. That's an interesting statement because it makes one wonder if a rift has opened up between nitwit Nero and Psycho Beebe. And oh my God, I've seen a couple of these things banging around on social media. Iranian propaganda shops have been doing their own AI funsies and they did one

that portrayed nitwit Niro in the Leonardo DiCaprio role Jack with Psycho Bebe as Rose on the door in the Titanic even including the scene where he's got his arms around Bebe's waist and Bebe's got his arms out

I'm flying. It was brutal. And the thing is, instead of the Titanic going down in the background, it's an American nuclear aircraft carrier. Brutal. But the whole thing about the American stockpile, I don't know how much we can replenish that in two weeks' time, but one of the things that Whiskey Pete Kegbreath was lying about in the last couple of days

was that they've fired a lot less missiles today than they ever have in the last month. And that was an absolute lie, and it was easily determined to be a lie. Iran had slacked off and fired less missiles on at least three other occasions during this stupid, bloody, foolish, idiotic, dip shit, fascist war. But there was a method to what they were doing. They were literally keeping their powder dry and just flinging up in a mess, enough missiles to make Israel and the United States waste more interceptor, interceptor missiles. Patriots. Nothing like the Patriot.

So that then, once our stocks were depleted, Iran could fire on our Gulf allies, you know, the dumb-dums who believed nitwit Nero and thought that there was more money. See, this is the problem with Averis. Sooner or later, it'll bite you in the ass. Even the Old Testament says somewhere, the love of money is the root of all evil. But the New York Times report by Swan and Haberman goes on and says, General Kane was sober,

unlike the Secretary of Defense, laying out the risks and what the campaign would mean for munitions depletion. He offered no opinion. Way to go, Ray. reason. Whoah? His position was that if Mr. Trump ordered the operation, the military would execute. He would follow illegal orders. Both of the president's top military leaders previewed how the campaign would unfold in the U.S. capacity to degrade Iran's military capabilities. The one thing the New York Times does note was that Jimmy Dick Bowman was apparently against the whole crazy notion. Hmm But most everybody else was going

Yeah, let's do it You can imagine the response of little Marco Rubio And his little man syndrome You blow them all up in the name of Jesus They told him it would be a fuck up And he decided to fuck up anyway The Wall Street Journal reported on the same Issue

Saying that General Raisin warned Daddy On multiple occasions that Iran would likely deploy mines, drones, and missiles, and, you know, close the Straits of Hormuz, which they did. The Wall Street Journal still trying to cheerlead. Said,

It was the most consequential foreign policy decision of his two presidencies. He told his team that Tehran would likely capitulate before closing the strait, and even if Iran tried the U.S. military could handle it. Wow. It's almost like he's perpetually and professionally wrong. Sorry, New Testament, not old. I feel like it's got roots in the old one, though. Yeah, 1 Timothy 6.10, For the love of money is the root of all evil,

which while some coveted after they have erred from the faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. Yeah, thanks, Lee. Wow, I didn't know that. room. Leet adds, the New York Times has moved from one Times Square. Longacre Square was renamed Times Square because the New York Times moved there. They're now across the street from the Port Authority bus terminal.

Oh, my God. Across from the bus terminal. That's beautiful. And from Daryl in Houston. Jimmy Dick phone call. Nitwit Niro is about to say, can you hold on a minute, you damn-witted asshole? My diaper is full. But caught himself just in time.

I mean, they're little presidents. Jim, Jimmy Dick. The Wall Street Journal report went on to say, With the Strait nearly closed, the Pentagon is now concerned that any American warships escorting tankers through the strait would be targets, unless the U.S. destroys Iranian vessels

and coastal defense weapons, including drones and missiles, which we didn't. What a monumental fuck up. And see, the problem is this is, the lick spittles and ditched dwellers of the maggots in the House and Senate

really will. They'll now call him a peacemaker. Maybe Mullah Moses-Michael say, well, it says right there in the Bible, blessed are the peacemakers, and clearly President Trump is a blessed man and beloved in the eyes of the Lord. Iran may have outsmarted us again,

because that's 14 more days on the way to 60 before he has to, as a matter of law, go to Congress under the War Powers Act. And Iran has a chance to marshal some of its forces, and we don't have time to build a shit ton more missiles. In order to produce like that, you have to be on a war footing,

you know, World War II style. We aren't. We're not even on the same footing we were on in Vietnam. LBJ and Nixon both kept the U.S. economies afloat with a shit ton of defense spending. Mittwit Niro said, Oh, we can't afford child care or Medicare, those other scans, because we've got to have money for the military because he's wasted all of our fireworks. But Jimmy Dick, through all of this latest madness, has tried to be a good soldier.

After today's psychotic triping, speaking in Hungary, he said, But we feel confident we can get a response, whether it's positive or negative, we're going to get a response from the Iranians by 8 o'clock tonight. I hope they make the right response because what we really want is we want a world where oil and gas is flowing freely. I guess this is a terrible time to mention that all that oil and gas flowing freely is just a little bit more of a certainty that we are fucked in terms of climate change. Well, that's not going to happen if the Iranians are engaged in acts of economic, terrorism. Oh, so, okay. So Iran's engaged in terrorism, but when we murder little schoolgirls,

well, war is hell, ma'am, said General Sherman. So they've got to know we've got tools in our toolkit that we so far haven't decided to use. I wonder, that's certainly a reference to nuclear weapons. The president of the United States can decide to use them and he will decide to use them if the Iranians don't change their course of conduct. So I hope that they're smart. The president has set a deadline for about 12 hours from now in the United States. We're going to find out there's going to be a lot of negotiation between now and then. I wonder how the couches are in Budapest.

And then there was this moment earlier today with Fox attack blonde Martha McCallum, where Representative Rokana joined her in deba. The problem with debating anyone on Fox is that it's not a real debate because on the one hand, you can say, hey, we ought not be threatening genocide against anybody because we're the United States and we don't do that. But the other side of the debate is, you're a poopie head. That's not a debate. And you hear the pushback and you're part of it there. I guess, you know, I would just ask you where the war crime is and whether or not you think that Iran

has been guilty of war crimes, killing almost 40,000 of their own people, gunning them down in the street. Martha, obviously Iran is guilty of war crimes, but America is different. We don't go threatening genocide. We don't threaten to wipe civilizations off the face of the earth. That is what makes America different. The president doing this is destroying everything this country stands for. We're the good guys. We're the ones who defeated tyranny.

Let me ask you this. So, I mean, we've all been watching President Trump for a long time. Is that really what you see here? Or do you see this as a way to get Iran to open up the strait, to come to negotiations, and hopefully to have new leadership that won't oppress its people, new leadership that won't make children and women line up around energy sites, which is a Geneva Convention violation? You know, I think we need to look at the history of the way that President Trump

negotiate these things and to see that, you know, unless you're very clear and you have a serious, you know, stick that you're holding over this situation, you're not likely to get anywhere. Well, you don't have to threaten genocide to get Iran to open up the Strait of Hormuz. I mean, we've lost the plot here. What do you have to do? The president, the president. I mean, he has a point.

The Strait of Hormuz was just fine before B.B. Drag-Nitwit near. into this psychopathic war. But, well, try explaining that to a woman whose paycheck depends on her not understanding it. President went in to say that he wanted to free the Iranian people. Now he's talking about destroying 90 million people. I just was speaking with Nazi-Muyan, and I've spoken with a lot of Iranian activists who want this. They want him to threaten to wipe out 91 million people? I think they understand what I don't think anyone's talking about this.

This is not a New York real estate deal. He's the president of the United States. The commander-in-chief was going to kill nothing. I guess the question is, what do you suggest? I guess the question is, what do you suggest? Declare victory and come home. That idea that she's spoken to a lot of Iranian activists who want this. Those are Iranians in the United States who are in the clubs and the bars and partying

and, you know, have close ties to the current. air to the peacock throne. You know, that gang of Pilavi punks and thugs and dictatorial autocrats. But I guess bless Rokana's heart for going

on Fox News. From Baltimore Bob, is there no honor among thieves? Let's look at Trump's war crime from a criminal perspective. By that, I mean the perspective of the Gulf states who bribed Trump and his son-in-law with the luxury jet and sketchy crypto investments. What do they get in return?

A big bullseye on their backs. That's what. The longer this insane war goes on, the more oil facilities get blown up real good. Well, Bob, you're entirely correct. And let's not forget, because this has stayed with me. And it kind of goes back to Alex Jones and Nikki Fuentes. And Tuckio Rose Carlson.

they only started to disagree with this when it looked like it might have some sort of an impact on them. I object to this, and we in this community object to this stupid, filthy, bloody, illegal war on principles that do not require us to even consider our own self-interest. But there is some self-interest, like the fact that what did that one doctor say a week or so ago? The long-term effects on helium production, on access to helium in the United States, because the principal source of helium is in Qatar, will be five years getting normalized, getting back to pre-war levels. Five years.

That's 2031. and that's not just party balloons, that's MRIs. And I've got to tell you, it just makes me spidey sense, Tangle. I know this is not particularly germane, but in that delightful Apple TV series Stick, Owen Wilson, Mark Marin, others. I mean, it was a great little show, especially if you love the game of golf. But there's a subplot where the young golfer's mama,

who wants to be taken seriously and is a very intelligent woman who has been sort of, you know, well, she got cast aside by her husband, the young golfer's father, the young prodigy's father. But there's this subplot inside stick where she talks about her desire to invest in helium. I mean, I'm sure it's just a coincidence. But damned if it isn't an interesting coincidence. Because she recognizes helium as a critical market that's being underappreciated, because for the most part, people only think about helium in terms of balloons

and being able to honk some and say, I want to the Elbrick Road. So, you know, yeah, more oil facilities, Palmer Bob, helium, plastics. God knows. And Flavio pointing out, the enemy always gets a vote. From the Iranian embassy in Sofia in Bulgaria, brutal. You have to admit Iran's social media game is very on-futable. Fleak. Ooh, I haven't heard on Fleek in a few years.

Iranian Embassy releases cartoon featuring Donald Trump, and it's his corpulent body stuffed through the Straits of Hormuz with him using the final words. Jesus. I can't breathe. George Floyd. One of the fundamental mistakes is that these fools, the mad fools, have made is that somehow, well, our Iranian adversaries are all really, really dumb. You know, nitwit Nero's ancestors, well, at a time when the Persians were writing documents that have come down to us through thousands of years of history,

well, nitwit Nero's ancestors, and mine, were drawing stick figures with a shudhirt, sharp stick and a little pile of poo. Astonishing. Martha McCallum. Okay, that's good. That's good. Amelia. Iranian activist came to me with tears in their eyes saying,

ma'am. Leah, New York says, declare victory and come home. That will not work. If I ruled Iran, this would be my view. We were attacked. We cut off their suppliers. When they leave because they're losing, why would I be nice and open the straight of Hormuz? I see no benefit.

Send your material by coal-powered locomotives. I'll give you my terms for opening the strait. And that's what they've done. Among other things, Iran is said to have told Pakistan that they want to basically put a toll booth up at the choke point of the straits and everybody has to pay. I think it was the onion. Reverbo pointed this out to me and I, and, uh, the old biker phrase. Iran adopts new policy of cash, grass, or ass,

no one transits the Straits of Hormuz for free. This is all so deadly and so dangerous and so inexorably, darkly, comically, stupid. because, of course, he is a very stupid man. Everybody's talking about how crazy he is, how dangerous he is. He's a goddamn dummy. Well, you're just stupid. Yes.

He's a dipshit. Surrounded by dipshits. Supported by dipshits. With a dipshit majority in the House and the Senate. In Iran, like I said, it's Ayatollahs all the way down. Well, in D.C., it's dipshits all the way down. These clowns couldn't pour piss out of a boot with directions on the heel. If their brains were gas, they wouldn't have enough to fill up a piss-a-sance motorcycle

and run it halfway around a BB. They're goddamn dumb. Leah, New York, awarding a rom-alama ding-dong. Please give one to Flavio for the on-fleak comment. The horn community is also on fleek. I remember when my kids were using that term. God, that was years ago. I had a note from our new friend Adi over in Oak Hill.

She wrote and said, Evil has been normalized, and that's very scary. We're witnessing a spiritual decay of America because we as humans are losing our intrinsic values and a fallen victim to anger, fear, jealousy, and insecurity. These primitive feelings have been preyed upon by the billionaire's propaganda machine. Trump and his men are made.

minions have tapped into the worst of our human nature, risen it on high, and said, this is what it means to be the righteous one. It is evil. Oh, joy. Joy in Ann Arbor. Ding-dong Daddy! Come on, y'all. We've got to get our laughs where we can.

Ding-dong Daddy has agreed to wait two weeks. She marinoffed me. It's like being picked to death by a duck. I mean, it's not funny, but it's funny. See if I can read that falling apart all in one fells. Ding Dong Daddy has agreed to wait two weeks. It's like being packed to death by a duck. She said earlier,

uh, Pakistan wants Nazi modo. There's another one. Pakistan wants Nazi moto to postpone nukes for two more weeks. I can't take another postpone nuke. I need him stop today. Going yet another two weeks, wondering if we'll be allowed to live is Susan Hayward.

I want to live style torture. and this is why I love joy so very much. I bet you. I mean, there's a lot of podcasts. There's a lot of radio shows. I'll bet you this is the only one with a Susan Hayward reference in it today. God, she's brilliant. You know, when you're facing an apocalypse,

you really do want to have a core group around you who can at least laugh darkly, grimly. at the madness of it all. Being pecked to death by a dog. From Georgian Corscould, negotiations. The Foxoast said Trump is just trying to bring Iran to the negotiating table. The Omanis had brought the sides to a negotiated deal that the Israelis blew up by fucking blowing up the Iran leadership. Yeah.

Again, we have made ourselves dirty dealers. We got harangued into being sneak attackers. The shame is unbearable. And yet, here we are bearing it. And I swear we can't go quiet on this. Of course, we've never gone quiet here. We know what the score is. We understand the assignment.

And sometime in the next 24 hours, I will retract this if it proves wrong. but at some point some godforsaken brain dead maggot really is going to say now he really does deserve the Nobel Peace Prize and I'm going to have to run out in the yard

and eat dirt and run rabbits which will scare the chickens damn it yeah radix malorum est cuputatos flavvio says it's in the prologue to Chaucer's partner's tale I love that tale the same idea was taken up by EA Poe

in the mask of the red death. I wonder if our word radish comes from Latin rhodics. I bet Flavia will figure that out. Randy Radar noted it may not take millions of dollars to disable a 20,000 drone. C.C. BS News on my TV

reports a laser weapon that can do it for $5 a shot. Well, but the problem is that's C. BS News. They are no longer a credible journalism outlet. Is there anything else out there banging around in the world that isn't the madness of Donald Trump? This is a good one. This is a blast from the past. It's from the Lincoln Project. It seems terribly relevant now.

I can find it and queue it up. Okay. More than one later. Yeah, like I said, it's a couple of years old. But now more than ever, you know. this is a riff on that old miserable Paul Harvey the horse molester bit

the Lincoln Project used AI to generate Paul Harvey's an impression of Paul Harvey's voice Good day And on the eighth day God looked down on his planned paradise and said I need a man to test the will and goodness of a free people So God made a dictator God said I need a man who failed in everything

But theft and broken promises to live in a golden palace and convince the poor he serves their needs. So God made a dictator. God said, I need a wicked man to lead the common folk with hatred and fear. So God made a dictator. God said, I need a corrupt man who is above the law and immune from justice.

So God made a dictator. God said, I need a man who will use violence to seize power. So God made a dictator. God said, I need a man whose followers will call black, white, call evil good, and call criminals hostages. So God made a dictator.

God said, I need his political. party to obey without question, and the press fear his wrath, so God made a dictator. God said, I need a cruel man who uses his power and position to punish and harm his opposition. So God made a dictator. God said, I need a man who breaks the faith of even his most godly followers, and leads them to idolatry, place him above me. So God made a dictator. And then God said, I sent this man to test you, and until you cast him down, you have failed.

So God made a dictator. The first few God-made a dictator are Hitler, Saddam Hussein, Kim Jong-un, and then the rest of it is all nitwit Nero. And then there's what happened aboard Artemis II earlier. nitwit Nero found time to place a phone call to the astronauts. What a moment. They were gathered together in a row, and he was blathering on at them. I have to say, I spoke to a very special person, Wayne Gretzky, who I think you know, the great one. And I spoke to your prime minister, and many other friends I have in Canada, they are so proud of

you and you have a lot of courage. I'm not sure if they'd want to do that. I'm not even sure if the great one would want to do that, to be honest. And this is all at the same time that he's threatening genocide against Iran. And there's a visual aspect to this. At one point, they were holding their wireless microphone, which they pass from one person to another. Their audio really has been so much better. And then as he's yacking and yapping, they just let the microphone go and let it float in space.

Zero gravity inside the capsule. But you have a lot of courage doing what you're doing, a lot of bravery and a lot of genius, but they're very, very proud of you. Notice the silence? and they just keep nudging the microphone and letting it float. I think we might have gotten cut off. It is a long distance. It's a long way. The reception has been great.

There's a little bit of about a nine-second delay, but, no, I just had a statement for, I don't know what you heard, but I was just saying they're very proud of your brilliant person from Canada on the ship. And Wayne Gretzky is a great friend of mine, and he's very proud of him. Yes, sir. Because it's about what a great friend he is of Wayne Gretzky's. So they just sit there and let him yap. Yeah, there's a delay.

But they could have picked up the microphone, and finally, well, one does. Mr. President, we heard that, and we do love our Jeremy Hansen. We love all our Canadian astronauts. Jenny Gibbons, Josh Kutrick. They're just great people, and they're such a welcome addition to our Corps. I have to say. We love our Canadians. No praise of nitwit Nero.

Zip, zilch, not a... So with that, yeah, well, thank you. Ralps, and thank you, Plavio. Yes, radishes from the Latin radix for root. Love radishes. Particularly fond of diacon. But anyway, I'm going to wrap the program up. We were a goose egg this evening,

but thank you to the anonymous individual who pre-airtime kept it from B. Yeah, got us down to 1240. Thank you. And this really wasn't a day for a lot of hardcore fundraising. I just, no, sometimes you don't. But thanks each and every one of you for sharing your precious finite time with the program and with the community.

In whatever manner you choose. I'm knocking off a little bit early because I'm going to be helping Mike, Malloy. He has, well, he just got. but his audio interface back from the manufacturer, and we have to reassign and basically set up the entire rig all over again, so I'll be doing that with Mike here in a few minutes. And hopefully it'll make his life a little bit easier. He's just been from pillar to post with his roadcaster pro two.

So that's fine. Thanks, Steve, in New York. Great program tonight. Scary, but great. You know, I'm glad we go through this stuff together. It's so much easier, or so much more bearable together than all alone. And, you know, that's a big part of this program in general. we close the distance between us, great though it may be.

So thanks to our challenge makers, our challenge respondents, our a la carte contributors, thanks to our subscribers and contributors from PayPal and Patreon, those of you who contribute by Cash App, Venmo, U.S. Postal Service, thank you all. Thanks to our all volunteer staff. Thanks to Roger and Jeremy in the chat room. Thanks to our news ninjas. Thank you, Ms. Micah, for the showpost over at Blue Sky at headon. dot live.

Follow us, please, especially if you're new to the program. Thanks, Brother Deacon Asa. Headon. Dot Live, keeping the stream streaming and the packet's passing. Thank you. Leave us a remark, a comment, a review on your podcasting platform. If you can take a couple of moments, it really does help advance us in the rankings from the algorithm. We are a tiny little operation, and every one of those really does help,

and thanks to those of you who do so. Thanks, Emily, for the intro. By the way, Lee in New York says, helping Mike. I hope you have enough string for the two tin cans. Oh, that ain't the issue. No, I wish. But thanks, Lee. Thanks to the hardest working bravest people.

I know the folks at Coal River Mountain Watch, crmw.com. dot net over a quarter century at the forefront of the struggle for human rights and environmental justice in Appalachia and a proud union shop please stay safe

what a dangerous world we find ourselves in and of course if nitwit Niro rings you on the phone and says hold on I'm in the little president's room avoid him like the plague of course because he is

oh and just a little story something I figured out last night. Sometimes, as this time of the evening approaches, the golden one will begin to bark. And I realized something last night, because he just did. This is how smart that wonderful, wonderful golden retriever is. His hearing is, of course, dog sharp. And, I mean, he can, he can. hear my car long before I'm in the driveway, that sort of thing.

But he has actually learned what the closing of this program sounds like. And when he hears me, well, one, if I am not through the studio door at a little after eight at the most, he starts barking. But he also barks when he hears what I say at the closing of the program, my God, he's so smart and so sweet. I love him so much. What a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful doggy. But I just thought I'd tell you a little bit that about it. And of course, Gina and Wayne, it's all for you. Be safe going home, Victoria.

Talk to you in a little bit. Later.
