Head-ON With Robyn Roxanne Kincaid - Head-ON With Roxanne Kincaid, 8 April 2026, Still-In-the-Woods Wednesday

Episode Date: April 9, 2026

Nitwit Nero got played by Iran like the real Nero's own fiddle; so much so that poor ol' Alex Jones (blessizhart) had another meltdown.  They're gonna hafta hit that poor feller in the neck with a Thorzine dart. The Iranians now have a toll booth on the Straits of Hormuz, even as Izrull does its dead level best to squirrel the deal. Sen. Ed Markey explains to a cluelessly young CNN anchor why Congress must now debate whether the U.S. approves of a nuclear first strike. Nazi MAGAT in FloriDuh runs his flag up the pole in his alleged race against another racist, Randy Fine.

Yes. Where to begin? I mentioned in the showpost that Micah put up over at Blue Sky at headon. Live on Blue Sky. Thank you, Micah. The world's cortisol levels must be probably further past the moon than the Artemis II mission got. I'm glad that. I've got a therapy appointment tomorrow.

I've got plenty to talk to my therapist about. Because I didn't, you know, doing this every day, it's, you know, pretty much, and every day for going on 23 years, just kind of take for granted that we deal with the ebb and flow of the news cycle, psychotic though it has, increasingly psychotic,

though it has become. But there's something special about waiting to find out if you're going to be the generation. No, not that sees Jesus come back, but that sees a nuclear holocaust. And it reminded me of a professor I had way, way, way back at Harvard on the Mon. His name was Virgil Peterson. And he taught in the English department. He was a fantastic professor. I had so many that were so good.

I was fortunate in that regard. But Dr. Peterson, among other things, taught a class in journaling. Not journalism, journaling. And it was based on a system developed by a Jungian psychologist named Ira Progoth and I think his system is still in use but in one of the introductory

classes one of the first few classes of the semester Dr. Peterson mentioned that he had had an on and I don't know if he ever did anything with it

but an ongoing project he was collecting he was collecting nuclear holocaust dreams. He wanted to know what the effect was of people who were living under the threat of potential nuclear annihilation.

And that was the entire world at the time. It was 1983, 1984. Every student in that class had grown up with the threat or the threat, or the potential for nuclear annihilation, a nuclear holocaust. And I think it was Dr. Peterson's theory that it had a negative impact on people's lives. And I thought about him earlier today when I was just thinking about what we've been through. What was it last week when the light went on for me, and I realized that Tangerine Tiberius was having nuclear fantasy.

and other people pretty quickly caught up, you know, because here we are at the horn, little tiny, itty-bitty internet radio station that just happens to be so far out ahead of the curve. It's like we're on straight road. Yeah. And I just wonder what the upshot of it all is on the world psyche, the collective world psyche,

if there is such a thing. and of course the first thing I did was go and take a look at the stock market now earlier today nitwit Nero went over to tripe social and triped a big day for world peace Iran wants it to happen they've had enough likewise so has everyone else the United States of America will be helping with the traffic buildup

in the Strait of Hormuz there will be lots of positive action. Big money will be made. We'll be loading up with supplies of all kinds and just hanging around in order to make sure that everything goes well. I feel confident that it will. Just like we're experiencing in the U.S., this could be the golden age of the Middle East, President Donald J. Trump.

And apparently the simpletons in the market bit. That's why the password was Mark. Oh my goodness gracious, the Dow Jones closed up 1,325 points today. The NASDAQ closed up 617.14 points. Yeah. And the S&P closed up 165.96 points. Yay, hooray, everything's okay. Everything is not okay.

And, you know, for last night's upload of the podcast, I said, it's Taco Tuesday, hold the Armageddon. But the thing is, he's still Trump, and he is still madder than the March Hare. He is still a dangerous psychopath, and he still needs to be removed from office, preferably by means peaceful. and legal. But he's also a dumbass. Notice that he sees this alleged ceasefire

as a money-making opportunity. And America's armed forces, thousands of which he has moved into that area of Asia, Western Asia, are just hanging around.

Well, they're not just hanging around. They're on duty, and they have been sent there at tremendous cost to the people of the United States. This is not going to impact this alleged ceasefire. It's not going to affect gas prices. I mean, like we talked about the world's supply of heat. and the impact that this madness is going to have on that. But it's going to affect so many other things, so many chemicals are extracted from oil. And then, of course, that famous word from the graduate, plastics.

And then there's the actual ten-point plan that Iran says that it agreed to, and that the United States agreed to, or that nitwit Nero said was, a workable basis on which to negotiate. Oh, God. And it seems pretty easy, it seems pretty simple to say, but he got his lunch eaten. The great negotiator.

The Wall Street Journal pointed out that the 10-point plan that Iran put forward was as follows. The U.S. must fundamentally commit to guaranteeing non-aggression. You know, because we're the aggressors. We were the ones who pulled the sneak attack. We are the ones who dishonored ourselves, dishonored the flag, dishonored the Constitution,

dishonored everything it is to be American. Two, continuation of Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz. Well, apparently, according to his... tripe that they're going to do that and we have news today that iran actually started charging tolls today when five weeks ago or so traffic was moving through the straits of hormuz without problem until nitwit nero created one three acceptance that iran can enrich uranium for its nuclear program what 4. Removal of all primary sanctions on Iran.

5. Removal of all secondary sanctions against foreign entities that do business with Iranian institutions. 6. End of all United Nations Security Council resolutions targeting Iran. 7. End of all International Atomic Energy Agency resolutions on Iran's nuclear program. 8. Compensation payment to Iran for war damages. Christ, that's going to cost a lot. Nine, withdrawal of U.S. combat forces from the region, and ten, ceasefire on all fronts, including Israel's conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon, which Israel refused to do. And to the point that Iran said earlier, listen, if you don't stop this invasion of Lebanon,

we're going to do to Tel Aviv what y'all are doing to southern Lebanon. And, of course, the propaganda machine there in Tehran has just been punking the shit out of nitwit Nero and the DUI hire, Whiskey Pete Kegbreath. This is so embarrassing. We started a war and just lost it. Not that there was anything to be proud of in winning it. there was no this he's too stupid

to understand the concept of a Kobayashi Maru but it was a no-win situation and that's why for 47 years no president was ever as stupid as me the AP in its reporting on the ceasefire said

Iran in the Farsi language version of its 10-point ceasefire plan included the phrase acceptance of enrichment for its nuclear program, something that was missing in English version, shared by Iranian diplomats to journalists. It wasn't immediately clear why that term was missing. Going all the way back to God, the 13th and 14th centuries BCE, there has always been an acknowledgement that those near eastern countries were far better at negotiations and business dealings

and that you would wind up without your shirt or socks having thought that you had just gotten theirs. What Nero was, to use a term, be clowned. They bragged about it. The maggot hoar, I mean, White House. Let me just give you a couple of types. here. Peace through strength, Operation Epic Fury,

Epstein furry, crushes Iranian threat as ceasefire takes hold, with a quote from the DUI hire. From the strike that took out Kossam Soleimani to tearing up the disastrous Obama-Rand deal to the precision campaign that obliterated Iran's nuclear sites in Operation Midnight Hammer to the decisive military victory. We just achieved in Operation Epstein Ferry.

No other president has shown the courage and resolve of this commander-in-chief. President Trump forged this moment. Iran begged for this ceasefire, and we all know it. It's the and we all know it part that lets you know that they know they're lying. Jesus. Oh, and then there's General Raisin. Oh, I neglected to mention that the fundraising deficit here on this prayer meeting Wednesday is at $1,540. That means an entire week is unfunded, plus $40.

It takes, $40 finishes off the first day of April. No, no, General Raisin. They said, On February 28th, who are, the president of the new 90 states, ordered the joint force to execute Operation Epstein Ferry, with the direction to accomplish three distinct military objectives, who are, destroy Iran's ballistic missile and drone capabilities. We didn't do that, who are, destroy the Iranian Navy.

We kind of did that, but not really. And destroy, although we did commit some war crimes, Who, ah. I mean, we left a bunch of Iranian sailors to drown in the water, which is where most people drown. Right after we sank their ship that didn't have no weapons aboard it. Whoah? And destroy their defense industrial base to ensure that Iran cannot reconstitute the ability to project power outside their borders. And we ain't done that either, really.

over the course of 38 days of major combat operation, the Joint Force achieved the military objectives as defined by the president. As if nitwit Nero could define what is is. You know, if General Raisin had the honor and dignity of some warriors, because I love to use that word warriors, some warriors of the past, he would have put on a white robe, gotten a short sword and opened up his guts and played with him and ended himself for the shame that he brought upon himself general raisin jesus and meanwhile the uh the office of uh jimmy dick bowman or jady egg advance whatever they're calling themselves then uh advancing the united states hungry

bilateral partnership Mm-hmm. Okay. They're trying to bribe the electorate. They're in Hungary to let Victor Orban's fascist party remain in power.

And then, I mean, this was just kind of a flood today. Media advisory, first lady melanoma Trump makes a statement. Melanoma Trump's going to make a statement Thursday, April 9th, 2026 at 2.30 p.m. Eastern time. Oh, goody. No real clue about what the statement's going to be. I have decided to divorce Donald Trump. Blah! Yeah. Turning and turning in the widening jire.

The falcon cannot hear the falconer. But yeah, he got, uh, nitwit, Nero got thoroughly roasted, toasted and, yeah. a political strategist named Simon Rosenberg on blue sky said Trump's a Titanic fuck-up and will be known as such for all time there's no possibility of redemption then Michael McDonald he's got such a long way to go such a long way to go no Michael McDonald a political science professor at the University of Florida said quick someone shoved granite and gold fixture choices

for the ballroom bathrooms in front of Trump and then the evergreen, Are you tired of winning yet? From a Rutgers University professor, Matthew Buckley. Only the people who pick their teeth with their toenail clippings are thinking this is any sort of a win for the United States. Jesus.

And again, congratulations to Christina Koch aboard the Artemis 2, having become the woman to travel the furthest away from the clutches of Donald J. Trump. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Oh, and just because we've been keeping up with them, our little nutmeg in Kelly, of course, Santa Claus is white lady. I use the term loosely. At first, she was all ready to turn the entire country of Iran into a nuclear waste dump. Yeah. And we had the clip, what, yesterday of her saying that every time I think about Democrats, all I can think about is those unattractive people in Minneapolis. Well, now she's different, mad.

I mean, I don't know about you, but I am sick of the shit. I'm just, I'm sick of it. Can he just behave like a normal human? I mean, honestly, like the president, I, at 3D, chest. No, no, that's yesterday. Well, apparently earlier today, well, she's, she's just, uh, um, still mad at daddy. Yeah.

Oh. God, I hope it doesn't make anything happen to you with all that anger, nutmeg. And then, of course, there's Alex Jones, who has put us all in a strange, strange world insofar as, well, we, for all the wrong reasons, he turned out to be right in this instance. No, I'm not talking about the human jellyfish monkey hybrids of the wet markets of old Calhoun or the chemicals in the water transing the frogs. A concept he holds in common with whalehead dead bear brainworm lamprey. No, this. A Savage Nation on X Michael Savage.com.

Heavily attacked and censored, obviously, as the things he says. He was on not the last time, the time before or last, he was talking to top Israeli generals and intelligence, former intelligence heads. And obviously they're not anti-Israel. And they said, no, you know, he's out of control. He's bit off more than he can chew. Israel has a terrible rating in the Gallup poll. And they're not going to defeat the Muslims right now.

And they've already defeated the ones that were surrounding him. So just stop. And stop trying to get us into a full war with Iran. He called it. In fact, I'm going to find that part of the interview. and have it added in this in post. We posted on Rumble. Savage.

That's today from the live interviewer watching it. 12.07 central standard time. But I wanted to get him on at this historic moment, and I really appreciate him giving us the time. I've done to do a lot of other interviews to talk about this, and then talk about the midterms, Trump's approval rating plunging, where we're going. Mark Levin, who is the brains, really, the guy that writes everything that,

the wallhanger, as he calls him, Sean Hannity. I'm not trying to mean to Sean. He's literally retarded, though. But Mark Levin is the brain behind him. And then Mark Levin completely tricking out, calling for a nuclear war. And, but admitting this is a big defeat so far for the U.S., the problem is we keep staying in there, in my view. It only gets worse because the Iranians are not vertically integrated. They are parallel.

and they've got thousands of people that are related to Muhammad that can be the mullah and each one you get worse than the next and Trump keeps saying oh I've got people I can work with now and then of course he oh Jesus Alex is just figuring out what we knew long ago it's Ayatollahs all the way down can and now the ceasefire is falling apart and so this is a disaster in my view and and you know you can almost see nitwit Nero saying it Wait, somebody told me they called their leaders Moolahs. Does that mean they got it out of money? Yeah. Highest oil, $150 a barrel. Trump says it's over. Drops the biggest drop in history, $52 in one night.

Now they've closed this trade again. Oh, if it wasn't such a goddamn tragedy, it would be hilarious. And those poor simpletons in the market. those poor marks those poor experts in the great game of three card monti yeah this is all to drive prices up

sell high buy low god damn it's breathtaking yeah let's finish the clip this is disastrous As I predicted this morning, it's all off and this is a fiasco. It's like watching a Three Stooges movie, but they got nuclear weapons.

So that's my take. That's my intro. Yeah, that's enough, Alex. Take your meds, honey. He's so angry. He's waited for this moment, waited for this moment, waited for this moment, waited for this moment, and he found out it was a really stupid moment. Yeah, un-lady. So that's my take. Well, you know, it just might be that you might be in the same spot as you say that Sean Hannity's in.

But more importantly, that cognitive defect will use something sciencey instead of that awful word, nitwit narrows that way too. And he always has been. and it hasn't been helped by becoming a speed freak. Just hasn't. From Palmer Bob, yesterday's show is so exciting. Titanic Tuesday became Taco Tuesday. Mm-hmm.

America. And by the way, he also found time to threaten CNN, CNN World, for post- a response from the Iranian government and threatening criminal charges. Yeah. Over on tripe social, he triped.

The alleged statement put out by CNN World News is a fraud, and CNN well knows. The false statement was linked to a fake news site from Nigeria, and of course immediately picked up by CNN and blared out as a legitimate headline. the official statement by Iran was just released and posted on truth below. Well, Iran said they had achieved a great victory over the United States and that they forced Trump to give in knuckle under, taco, and lift all the sanctions.

Authorities are looking to determine whether or not a crime was committed on the issuance of the take CNN world statement, or was it a sick rogue player? CNN is being ordered to immediately withdraw this statement with full apologies for their, as usual, terrible reporting. Results of the investigation will be announced in the near future. Well, I guess CNN pushed back a little bit with a hard-hitting video journalist Jake Tapper, the guy who said, oh, of course Iran is evil. Every last person, even the little girls who got bombed right out of life.

Yep, they were evil, weren't they, jakey? Well, here we go. Put out by CNN World News is a fraud, as CNN well knows. The false statement was linked to a fake news site from Nigeria. Authorities are looking to determine whether or not a crime was committed on the issuance of the fake CNN World statement, or was it a sick, rogue player? CNN is being ordered to immediately withdraw the statement with full apologies for their, as usual, terrible reporting, unquote. Before I go on, let me just say, none of that is true.

None of that is accurate. Then, Federal Communications Commission, Chairman. Oh, poor little Jake. For once in your life, can you just say none of that's true? They're all lies because he's a liar? No, Jake, he can't do that. And Brendan Carr tweet. quote, Iran put out an official statement that simply cannot be squared with the one CNN's false headline attributes to them.

Time for change at CNN, unquote. Hold that thought on Brendan Carr's statement. By 1139 p.m., President Trump, still not over it, claiming that CNN invented the statement. Not true. And wrote, quote, it was totally made up and posted as a headline for purpose of perhaps inflaming a very delicate situation. CNN just got caught cheating a very dangerous thing to do, unquote. Again, None of that's true. None of that's factual. None of that's accurate. He's a liar. Iranian officials made that first statement. It was reported on multiple Iranian state media outlets and by other news outlets all over the world. CNN also received the statement from specific official Iranian spokespeople who are known to us. Chairman's car

Chairman Carr's attack on CNN that quote Iran put out an official statement that simply cannot be squared with the one CNN's false headline attributes to them unquote is quite revealing but it doesn't reveal anything about CNN

if you've been paying close attention you know that the Iranian government frequently speaks out of both sides of its mouth some faction of the regime will put out a statement that is hardline propaganda for its base for want of a better term, a different faction of the regime releases a more measured statement. This is not a bug, it's a feature. It's clearly what happened here.

In fact, today, both the Secretary of Defense and Caroline Levitt alluded to such thing. What we know is that Iran is going to say a lot of things. A lot of people are going to say a lot of things, claim a lot of things. What has been agreed to which has been stated is the street is open. What Iran says publicly or feeds to all of you in the press is much different than what they communicate to the United States, the president and his team, privately. No argument with either of them.

The issue boils down to this. The statement from Iran's Supreme National Security Council, which claimed victory for Iran, did not fit the messaging that the Trump administration wanted to project. And instead of calling out the Iranian regime for its conflicting statements or explaining how Iran does this all the time, President Trump attacked CNN by falsely claiming we made it up. By lying to you, we didn't make it up.

Or did we present any of Iran's narratives as fact. We simply presented what the statement said in the context of the rest of the war. And that is our job as journalists to report on what is happening in a war. Our job is not to try and please the president or only report the statements he likes. We're going to tell you what's going on. And we're going to keep doing that no matter how many lies this administration or the Iranians tell. CNN has live team... Ooh, he'll get fight.

the suits upstairs will not be happy, especially now that, you know, Warner is being bought by the Allison's. Yeah. Coverage Clarissa Wards in the region. She's in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Kristen Holmes is at the White House. Clarissa, what are you seeing in the region now? What are you seeing that could impact the ceasefire? This morning, the region woke up to a palpable sense of relief, but, you know,

Now there is a growing sense of concern and unease. That this ceasefire is looking increasingly fragile. We have seen attacks taking place. Yeah. Fragile? Friable. From a plea in New York, inconsistent statements like POTUS in consecutive sentences.

Exactly like that. Oh, yeah. Good heavens. But here we are. God bless America Well at least he said lied And Even CNN noticed

Nutmeg And her I don't know about you But I'm sick of this shit I'm just I'm sick of it Can he just behave like a normal human No

I mean honestly Like the president is playing 3D chess Shut up Shut up Fuck Shut up fucking shot up About that check Um

So over at CNN And they brought on a Republican strategist named Kevin Madden to explain the meltdown taking place in Maggotland. Some America. All right, my panel is back. But before I talk to them about this, I want to play one more person who you might recognize talking about the language that the president used when he talked about wiping out an entire civil. in Iran, and that's Megan Kelly. Let's watch what she said. Well, we've heard this, but I don't know about you, but I am sick of this shit. I'm just, I'm sick of it. Can he just behave like a normal human? I mean, honestly, like the president, I, at 3D, chess, shut up.

Fucking shut up about that shit. You don't threaten to wipe out an entire civilization. Oh my God. Wait a minute. There's the news. news story, CNN played all the fun words on their air. We're talking about civilian. That's a direct challenge to Brendan Carr, by the way. Just casually in a social media post. This is completely irresponsible and disgusting. Quite something.

Who would like to take this one? When you lose Alex Jones, Laura Lumer and Megan Kelly, it is not a good day for Donald Trump. I also think it's fessing because we're also, they're public figures, but also the MAGA base is angry and divided about this. They were angry that he got into the word. Now it seems they feel nothing was achieved. We've always thought that Donald Trump would hold his base no matter what.

I'm really interested when we face the midterms. Will people stay home? Will this have an impact on those midterms? Kevin, where do you come down on this? Because there have been a number of different perspectives from the Republican that sits in your chair on this set every day, including some who argue that the Republican base is really more still traditional, what the Republican base has always been.

They've been with the president, but they're actually more with him on a run than some of these loud, mega media voices that we hear. What do you think? Well, I think he still has very strong support amongst his base, and he still commands and can mobilize his base very quickly. But does he, is he losing a faction of it? Yes.

And Megan Kelly's sort of sentiment, if that's shared by 15, 20, 25 percent of that MAGA coalition, that's problematic when you're heading into a 2026 election environment where base motivation is a huge part of how you calculate victory. Because if you added in, I mean, and also one other thing I'd say, this didn't start with Iran. Second Amendment voters and Fourth Amendment voters because of what happened with the immigration enforcement in Minneapolis, they had a lot of sort of clamoring

and sort of grumpiness with the president. So this is sort of a little bit of a trend that the White House has to be very careful about because also right now, if you look at numbers with independence, were going to be the swing part, and that's why they call them battleground districts, that's good, you know, the president's support with those voters, which he actually did pretty well with in 2024, has been declining. So there is a very real political...

Sounds like a giant uh-oh to me, but the thing is it's already bearing fruit. For instance, Let's talk about Wisconsin. Trump carried Wisconsin by tens of thousands of votes in 2024. But Wisconsin had a Supreme Court election yesterday. And the Democrat, Chris Taylor, one going away by some 20 percentage points. And then in a maggot-leaning suburb, Alicia has,

Halvinsleben, also a Democrat, won that mayoral race. And while Sean Harris lost in the special election runoff in marginal trailer Queens District, the margin of the maggot margin of victory got knocked down by 25 points. Over Politico, they wrote the story up and they spoke to an unnamed GOP strategist. who was pissed. Everyone involved should be docks, tarred, and feathered, and run out of Wisconsin politics.

The electorate is so different now. GOP voters don't show up for spring like they used to. Meow. Oh, pork baby. Another guy, Brandon Schultz, who left the Republican Party in 2021, but had been a strategist, said, Republicans ought to be sitting down tonight and going, okay, we just screwed up another race.

What are we going to do in November? Well, obviously, they've got to keep people from voting. That seems fairly simple. They're having a very bad day. And then a Nick Anderson cartoon for Raw Story, radio transmission from Earth, Artemis, what do you see on the dark side of the moon? And Artemis flying by.

there's a great big pile of boxes on the far side of the moon marked Epstein files um okay nitwit Nero fucked up the war and he fucked up the piece can we get back to the Epstein files now yeah and one of the things that I mentioned last night toward the end of the program was that we're not back to normal and everybody who was clamoring for impeachment

or the 25th Amendment, shouldn't go silent. The fact that a crazy man didn't do a crazy thing doesn't mean he's any less crazy. But I also understand that the Democrats on the hill will probably sit on their hands until a new Congress comes in if we get better results in November

if people are allowed to go to the polls and vote, and then maybe they'll talk about it. Ed Markey showed up on CNN, talking to anchor Pam Brown, to explain why he still wants Mittwit Nero impeached for threatening genocide. Alexander Ed Markey, Ed Markey, Edmastich. They're nice to have you on. So you call for President Trump to be removed from office for threatening war crimes. What is your reaction to those comments from Secretary Huggseth? And are you willing to consider this was just a negotiating tactic on the president's part?

What Trump and Hexeth were planning was a war crime. It was a promise to destroy a civilization, to commit a genocide, to wipe out the capacity for that country, its civilians to be able to operate. It was a war crime that had been planned, and it was about, to be perpetrated and Hegeseth is saying that they were ready to push the button to do it. That is a morally bankrupt policy that Trump was seeking to put in place. We had already lost 13 service person. A hundred Iranian students had been killed, but yet on top of that, they were planning

an actual genocide, an actual destruction of a civilization. That's why Trump should be impeach. That's why Democrats should file impeachment articles against Trump. That's why the 25th Amendment to remove him should be invoked. Obviously, Senator, the president did not kill an entire civilization last night. Is impeachment really a productive or even feasible tool at this point with Republicans in control of Congress? Democrats must proceed with the filing of the impeachment. impeachment articles. We need to work as hard as we can to put the Republican Party, which is

morally bankrupt, which is spineless, which wants to be in a witness protection program, even as moral atrocities are being planned in their name. We must proceed towards the goal of removing Donald Trump from office, and we must do this now, and that has to be the democratic agenda. But just to follow up on the question, how is this a feasible or even productive tool at this moment, particularly when Democrats are still in the minority? The goal that we must have is to put this on the table, to press it as hard as we can. And to ask the questions, are we better off today than we were 40 days ago? No, a morally bankrupt policy was put in place. The strait of Hamos is now in control, is controlled by the Iranian army that's

going to turn it into a toll road that is going to raise prices around the globe. The uranium is still under the control of the Iranian army. The people in Iran are not free. This has been a complete and total failure militarily, but it has also been. a moral failure for our country, and the Democrats must push in order to ensure that we have this impeachment proceeding begin in the House of Representatives. GOP, Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, opted a Trump ally, told the Wall Street Journal yesterday that the president, quote, loses me if he attacks civilian targets like infrastructure. Does it give you any comfort that some of your Republican colleagues share your perspective

on this issue? The problem is that the Republican... Not really. majority was silent for 40 days. And maybe there were a few voices at the very end, but it wasn't enough. The Republican Party right now needs to grow a spine. They need to stand up against Donald Trump. They need to take control of the agenda of their party because they are going to otherwise pay a tremendous price this fall, because the voters are going to be coming with pitchforks

for the Republican and House Senate members who have allowed for Trump to engage in these policies that harm us internationally and harm us domestically on a daily basis. And there is a big bill that's going to come due and it's going to be the Republican House and Senate members who pay it at the ballot box. this November. We'll see how that plays out. I want to ask you what Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said. He says that Congress should ultimately approve.

Really? Lindsay Graham had time to say anything. Lady G. He's just weeping and grieving because he didn't get to see no mushroom clouds and stars and gauders. And it's just my little ladybugs. You don't mind, do you? Any proposal to end this war? Do you agree with that assessment? We should, we've been having votes on whether or not this war should even start. And the Republicans, led by Lindsay Graham, have voted not to invoke the War Powers Act, not to give the Congress any role in this. Oh, say it out loud, Ed.

Lindsey Graham has never seen a little Iranian girl that he didn't want to be bombed into it into her molecular constituent parts. Bloodthirsty little, well, you know, the closet will do that. The closet will make you mean. A conflict whatsoever. So they've had chance after chance after chance in order to vote to have Congress. with a role. If they want to have a vote, let's have a vote on the first use of nuclear weapons because Trump was threatening to use nuclear weapons in this conflict.

Well, Pete, and no president. The White House said that's not true. And Pete Huggseth also said that they had certain targets, infrastructure targets. He did not indicate that they were going to use a nuclear bomb, just to point that out, Senator. That is not the very strong impression, which J.D. Vance left yesterday. He left a completely different impression that nuclear weapons were on the table for use, and that's why we need to debate in Congress immediately the no first use of policy for nuclear weapons. The use of nuclear weapons cannot be part of the madman theory of negotiation in a modern nuclear era,

and it's time for Congress to assert its authority that no nuclear weapons can be used without the express consent of Congress if we are not being attacked with nuclear weapons. And the White House had said that it was not going to use nuclear weapons, but of course there was that true social that went out saying that he would destroy an entire civilization, leaving many questions. Senator Ed Markey, thank you so much. You know, downtown Pamela Brown, It might help if you actually had a little bit of lifetime under your belt, you know, say 10 years' worth or so. It might help downtown Pamela Brown if you were to perhaps take note of the fact that nitwit Nero said, What's the point of having nuclear weapons if you can't use them?

It might help downtown Pamela Brown of the millionaire, multi-millionaire for-profit media. if you would take note of the fact that he wanted to nuke a hurricane, the very idea that the Congress would need to debate a first-strike nuclear policy is insane. It has long been the policy of the United States that we do not do first-strike nuclear altercations. but then again she's a young

and probably thinks that history began the day she was born oh well but good on you Ed Markey see if you can cobble together a coalition of decent human beings otherwise known as Democrats

I mean maybe Kirsten Mansion might even sign on to the idea that we don't use nuclear weapons in a first strike capacity. And honestly, I would love to hear love is the wrong word. But I would be most interested to hear

the justifications from people like Lindsay, Lady Bugs, Graham, as to why we should not make it the official legal policy of the United States never to use, nuclear weapons in a first strike capacity? What's the rationale?

Anybody want to help? Anybody want to give me a proposed scenario in which a nuclear first strike is justified? I mean, and no fair sighting August of 1945. Because we're the only country that's ever used nuclear weapons in a first strike capacity. good Lord. Randy Radar says America has a lot of citizens wandering around with depressed serotonin levels and also lacking dopamine and that is why we're doom scrolling, which partially replenishes those. But people would actually have to know something about brain chemistry to know that

and that sort of thing is never on any legacy news. Well, I opened the program Randy Radar talking about worldwide cortisol levels. And that's the kind of stuff that disregulate. a person. But yeah, Ed Markey mentioned it. I've mentioned it. Six weeks ago, freighter traffic was transiting the Straits of Hormuz without a problem.

And now, well, now... Now we've got an Iranian toll booth there. Dagum it. Half an hour. Right, so we got to start working fast. Now, you men start working on the dummies. Jim and Mongo come with me. I got an idea

that'll slow them down to a crawl. All right, let's go. Come on. Head of a crewway. Now, what loud ass old thing come next? Is anybody got to die? Somebody's got to go back and get a shitload of dyes. I hurry up, speed it up,

we ain't ever going to get the rock reach. Come on, move them. Somebody go back and get a shitload of times. Oh, that's not on me. That's on Joy in Ann Arbor. She asked me a minute ago, is the new Hormuz toll for all ships or only U.S. and Israeli ships, somebody needs to go back and get a shitloaded times?

And I knew immediately what she was talking about. Oh, God. That's precious. But here we are. God, what a stupid timeline. What a monumentally dumbass timeline. What a timeline replete with ignorance, shitheadedness,

venality, vulgarity, homicidality, and perhaps even global suicidality. Somebody go back and get a shitload of dimes. I needed that laugh, Joy. I needed it badly. Okay. I asked the question.

Jeremy answers. Nuclear first strike, if some strange bearded man comes floating down from space on a flying carpet, strike then. He's not Jesus. Well, if that happens, he's probably immune to nuclear weapons, too. Has nobody seen Independence Day or the fifth element? And from Leah, New York, big bills to pay? If the feeble financial fumbler cared about numbers, his businesses would not have gone bankrupt. He doesn't math the math real good.

And he's not just fencing some shit in the streets. Oh, well, he's got to be just shit in his pants right now. And you can make an argument that maggots are coming unglued a little bit all over the place. Let's go where? Of course. Florida, duh. where a maggot who's a social media influencer named Dan Bilzerian showed up on TMZ where he is apparently looking to oppose that bloodthirsty maniac Randy Fine. And, well, let's just go to it, shall we?

This fat Jew. So he's not from Israel, but you called a guy in Florida this fat Jew. How is that not anti-Semitic? Well, he's a Jewish supremacist, and he puts Israel before America, and I think that, you know, he should be tried for treason. This fat Jew is anti-Semitic, Dan. I mean, that's what you say, but how about every single time of the black Muslims? That's what I know.

I don't say it. I know it. He literally talks about how Muslims are lower than dogs. So is that Islamophobic? Yes. Yes, it is. And that wouldn't be, that's not appropriate for him to say either. If he had said that.

But he does all the time. And he tweets that and he's a senator. Are you anti-Semitic? No, I'm not anti-Semitic. I think that, you know, that's kind of a made-up term. I think the Palestinians are the real semites. Yes, because if you look at what a semi- Was Hitler anti-Semitic?

What's that? Is Hitler anti-Semitic? Like I said, the term is focused solely on Jews, but... Dumbass, when someone asks you, it was Hitler anti-Semitic, there's only one answer, unless you want to be perceived as a Nazi. And the answer is, yes, Hitler was anti-Semitic. That's not a tough one. Again, what's this clown's name?

Dan Bilzerian. But it gets worse. Actual Semites are the Arabs, and, you know, Palestinians are Semites as well. And they actually have more, you know, DNA lineage to that region than any of the Eastern European Ashkenazi Jews that have taken it from them. So, you know, I kind of have issue with that term now it's been hijacked, to only talk about Jews. So if you want to call it anti-Jewish, then you can call it anti-Jewish instead of... I'm not going to call this anti-Jewish. When you say, vet this fat Jew, you know, you could take another.

race and you could use another epithet, but you're anti-Semitic then. Dude's got a point. He does. This was, who are these two dudes doing the interview? TMZ executive producers

Harvey Levin and Charles Latabodier. Latabodier, well, you'll find out. Look, and and again this guy's a chud he's got a you should see him uh he's got a beard you could strain soup out of and he's he's got a high and tight haircut with a sort of looks like a i don't know this this poofy little rand paul looking thing on top of his head i mean the high and tight's always

is kind of a giveaway. But you could, listen, Bill Zarian, you could call him a fat ass, you could call him a lard ass. You could call him a tub of guts. And as long as you don't put Jew behind it, you're pretty safe,

you're fat shaming. That's not good either. The really best, but he's a social media influencer, which does not confer an assumption of intelligence not at all

you could in fact just say that he is wildly Islamophobic because he is we're talking about Randy Fine here and he is you know he doesn't look it's not anti-Semitic to say

that he does not represent his constituents nearly as much as he represented A-PAC, that he does care as much or more about Israel than he does the United States of America. Those are credible political arguments that you can make without being

anti-Semitic. Hate Florida Nazis. I'm not. You are. I have Jewish. I have Jewish friends. I don't take all Jews in one brush, but he paints all Muslims with one brush, and it's accepted. And for some reason in this country, it is okay to just blast

Muslims, bash them. You look at what Bill Marr said about Muslims. I mean, it's this double standard, and I don't like the double standard, and I look at him as a Jewish supremacist. He believes that, you know, Jews are better than other people, and he puts Israel before America. And so I have a few people with that. So if you're, if you've got a black friend that you don't like, do you use the N-word on him? No, I don't. Well, what's the difference when you use the word fat Jew for a Jew you don't like? Is, is, is Jew the same as N-I because that is not the same, that's not, that's not, one, One is a slur, right?

And one is describing a religion. So you can't compare the two. How can you compare those two? There's a way you say it, then, that the intent is the same. It's not the same at all. So one is a slur, one is a racial slur that I don't use. And the other one is describing an necessity. You just used it.

Well, are we adults? Can we talk about a word? Sure. It was a word so offensive that it just, you know, you can't say. We have to say the end. Dude. Dumbass. Read the room.

You got a black guy and a Jewish guy and you're a Nazi. I'm sort of that is yes. People are too sensitive. See, that's always the excuse. Oh, well, you're suppressing my free speech because you're too sensitive. And her, you know, enter Bugs Bunny.

Yeah, yeah, too sensitive. Well, that's your Republican Party, because this is the guy who says he's going to, or has filed paperwork to primary Randy Fine, if they were worthy of being pitied, the poor maggots. a choice between a pile of dog shit and a pile of cat shit shit either way and you know maggots in Florida are no different than maggots

anywhere else consider you know our little nut meggin of course Santa Claus is white Kelly who said well I don't care if Donald Trump

nuked the world I'd still never vote for a Democrat and that's how we got here. God bless America. Ponderous, man. Fucking ponderous.

Jeremy, meanwhile, has been out playing with his telescope and sent me some pictures of a galaxy. M109, NGC, 3992, the sunflower galaxy, M63, the Hercules globular cluster.

Yeah, I know. Changes your perspective, doesn't it, Jeremy? Jeremy said something different, just think this light in all cases had started its journey to my backyard before the dinosaurs were a thing. It's humbling if you have the mental capacity to be humbled. A reporter from ABC News asked a hard question of the DUI hire, Whiskey Pete Tegbreath. And Whiskey Pete was kind of falling apart at the podium. At one point he was calling another reporter Rude.

and then this happened right should they make the wrong decision at the table right here secretary louis martinez with a bcc news first a question in general canes sir in your personal opinion were the risks of the street of four moves being closed because of the conflict were they mitigated early enough

in part of the decision making process to let up to the decision to take action against the rod And in your opinion, is Iran in control of the state reform? Because we just heard the Secretary say that Iran is letting them ships through, which would imply that potentially it's not just... The Secretary also said that the U.S. that the Strait is open. You did say that, sir. But in your opinion, sir, how can the U.S. ensure, say passage?

Mr. Secretary, can you say today that the United States achieved the administration achieved the military goals that you were, you've constantly that delineated. But strategically, is that a victory because of that? And also, you said earlier that the president chose mercy. But you yourself had said three weeks ago that we will give no quarter to Iranian troops. How do you correlate those two? And do you think that your comments may have put American troops at risk? No.

I try to be nice up here, but you did listen to what I said, right? I laid out the objectives. We believe we've accomplished them, and it's a historic military victory. And President Trump has the option, as the commander-in-chief, to compel an adversary to the table, which is precisely what he did. And at the end, he chose to say, you know what, I'd rather talk to you at the table than obliterate your capability to export oil and fund your terror regime. So he did make that choice. That was his choice. Jesus, he's on the struggle bus, y'all.

He knows he was advocating. He knows he and his boss were advocating war crimes. He knows he's already committed his own by ordering, you know, shipwrecked people blown out of boats to be murdered in the water. General Raisin is in the same soup, and Nittwit Nero didn't say, you know, a blue, their war-making capacity, he said, and an entire civilization in a matter of ours. It's only one way to do that. A president of peace, and he's been willing to make those really tough calls that the American people elected him to do. Nothing we've done.

Not a single thing we've done. This is a typical, of course, it's ABC. Not a single thing we've done has put an American troop in more of a harm's way. We've only... You mean starting the war that has killed American troops? That those troops were not in harm's way by virtue of starting the war? His brain is not in a happy place. Set our troops up to harm Iranian military capabilities,

which they've done to devastating fashion and to great success. Mr. Chairman, you had a question. There's a lot in that question. I'd love to take that offline and answer it, but I'm struggling to find exactly what your question. was that that's probably me not you okay all right it's sorry it's sorry it was an indictment framed as a question so you're forgiven for understanding go ahead please no you've you've had your chance go ahead thank you very much so based on the diplomatic negotiation i believe so i believe so i believe

you sorry mr kurdor Rahim rashidi from kurdistan i'm representative kurdistan tv and kurdistan for today. I have asked two questions. Mr. Secretary, will your forces stay in the region and continue to defend and protect your allies and take the responsibility for their security? Second question is, as you mentioned, many times that you have full control of Iran airspace. do you still have this control or not? Well, thank you for the question. The chairman mentioned the UAE and Bahrain and Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, who have fought shoulder to shoulder with us, especially...

Really? Fought shoulder to shoulder with us? How many Kuwaiti pilots were put at hazard? How many Saudi pilots were put at hazard? How many Saudi troops? How many Kuwaiti troops? How many Bahraini troops? especially in defense of our facilities, of our people, of their facilities, and we appreciate that. So that coordination, of course, will continue. And then when it comes to the skies over Iran, I would just, again, I would point to Exhibit A and Exhibit B, 7 hours in the day.

Exhibit A, the shot down F-15, exhibit B, the shot down A-10 Warthog, Exhibit C, the tanker plane. What? Seven hours at night. If any foreign adversary attempted to do the same over our soil, they would have no ability to do so. Will they have a system here or there? Maybe. Do they have a network, a system that's capable of defending their skies? No, they don't. As the chairman laid out, that's been dismantled, degraded, and destroyed.

So it's a slight distinction, but an important one. Yes, right here. Go ahead. Go ahead. Is Iran-Bas of General George in the middle of a war? Excuse me. You got a question? Go ahead.

Yes, yes. Two questions, actually, for you? So during this time, is the president still, are you still encouraging civilian? Jesus, craminy. Dude's coming apart. He is. He's going to show up. You know, we've talked about how eventually Nitwit Nero will show up at the podium and tear his clothes off and play with himself. Well, Whiskey Pete's not going to do that. He's going to show up at the podium with a half-consumed handle of,

J&B Scotch or maybe Cuddy Sark certainly nothing better and start talking about the strawberries wow it's chaos all over the place seeing into the past

Lee in New York commenting on Jeremy's photos the sun is eight light minutes away Voyager 1 is almost a light day away launched almost 50 50 years ago.

New Horizons is over a third of a light day away, eight and a half hours, to send a message. Yeah, that's, like I said, it's humbling. Thanks, Lee. And Jeremy pointing out, every time these fucks brag about how badly Iran's been hit and can't attack back,

we lose a base here, another base there, and a few planes. Who do they think they're fooling? It's not that they think they're fooling anyone. they have to put out the party the official party line about how they are winning the great patriotic war against big bad Iran

at some point in time they'll probably say that Iran was behind 9-11 would you put it past them but they have to put out the party line and they have to hang on to and appear to be butch and badass for the few remaining

weirdo, hardcore poor, cancerous little knot of ne'er-do wells and ditch dwellers and whatnot that remain maggot, because it's all falling apart before their very eyes. Kim in New York saying, it takes a certain type of person with chutzpah

who can lie so blatantly yet so easily. The lies in the military jargon bullshit come out of his mouth like butter, and unfortunately many will believe the propaganda. But all those parts of Yes, but how are the maggots going to respond when Kuwait and Saudi Arabia and Bahrain and Dubai and Qatar all send us bills for the repair costs? Anybody? Bueller? Well, oh, them a damn thing.

Well, yeah, we kind of do. We cause that to happen. they had a legitimate right to defend themselves. I mean, isn't that what we say when Israel gets attacked? Yeah, it is. And meanwhile, just a quick check-in, as far as the ceasefire is concerned? Well, with the ceasefire announced,

today, Psycho Beebe and his fascist cabinet launched the most intense attacks on Lebanon in years. The Israeli military proudly declared earlier today that it targeted over 100 sites in just 10 minutes. From the United Nations, they said that they recorded over 60 locations struck,

and one Al-Dazir reporter noted that this really hasn't been seen since Israel invaded Beirut in 1982 or their beeper attack of 2024 and the video has been horrifying just horrifying chaos in Beirut as Israel carries out a wave of airstrikes across the country hitting what it said were more than 100 targets in 10 minutes

and that was just one of them and of course Iran said yeah keep it up we'll do the same thing Tel Aviv which is kind of wild when you consider that Lebanon is a famously multicultural,

multi-religious nation. It is not a strictly Muslim nation. There are Maronite Christians, Druze Christians, Shia and Sunni Muslims,

and Iran? Iran gets the moral high ground to claim to be the defender of Lebanon. How bizarre and upside down and weird is all of this? Is it me, Stephen New York asks, or does Iran not act anything like a cowed or defeated country? I'd go so far as to say they're laughing at us. Oh, yes, they are laughing at us. You should see the AI videos,

that they're putting out. Rap songs in perfect English. Excuse me. Using Lego Lego Pete Whiskey Pete Kegbreath calling him everything but a child of God and using his own past against him.

You know, drunk on the couch at Fox, security risk to be in the detail that was guarding President Biden because the United States. state's army itself was afraid that he, Whiskey Pete Kegbreath, would murder Biden. I think

this was during his vice presidency Biden. And the thing is, you don't have to go looking anywhere for him. I can probably open my Instagram and find it right away.

I don't think I've shared it, but you don't, like I said, you don't have to look far. to find it. Scroll for a minute and probably one of them will probably pop up. And the thing is, the entire White House has donkey ears. So among other things, if you want to look around on Instagram, it's there. And these things, well, I mentioned the one, the AI video that showed nitwit Nero and Psycho Bebe as Jack and Rose on the Titanic.

Don't let go, baby. Don't let go. I'll never let go. God Almighty. And they're also having a connection over a parody of who? Yes. Little mayonnaise mouth, Stephen Miller. Think of that. Well, to the parody itself. Well, one thing before we go there.

At least one Iranian. And by the way, there is some reporting out that the new Ayatollah, the son of Ali Khamene, is apparently in a hospital in Kome where he's not conscious. So that means there's another Ayatollah in the wings. Look, it's just like Afghanistan. Oh, we've killed Al-Qaeda's number two! And son of a bitch, there's a brand-new Al-Aidahs number two.

wild that way. So earlier today, Iran apparently shut down the Strait of Hormuz again after that barrage of artillery and rockets and missiles hit Lebanon. Nitwit Niro complained, Well, Lebanon is never part of the C-spire agreement, and I never agreed to their 10-point peace plan. But M.B. Golibov

who is the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament issued a statement saying, as the, oh God, every time he opens his mouth, he fucks himself, Trump does. As the President of the United States has clearly stated in his truth, the Islamic Republic of Iran's 10-point proposal is a workable basis on which to negotiate, and the main framework for these talks. However, three clauses of this proposal have been violated so far. Now, the very workable basis on which to negotiate has been openly and clearly, violated even before the negotiations

began in such situation a bilateral ceasefire or negotiations is unreasonable and look I don't I try to approach this dispassionately

but his statement well that part about how are you going to negotiate while the violence is still going on it's not unreasonable he's not

crazy. He said very clearly, the deep historical distrust we hold toward the United States stems from its repeated violations of all forms of commitments, a pattern that has regrettably been repeated once again, and as I noted earlier, as the President of the United States has clearly stated in his truth, the Islamic Republic of Iran's ten-point proposal is a workable basis on which to negotiate in the main framework for these talks.

However, three clauses that the... this proposal have been violated so far. One, non-compliance with the first clause of the ten-point proposal regarding the ceasefire in Lebanon, a commitment that Prime Minister Shabaz Sharif has explicitly referred to and declared as an immediate ceasefire everywhere, including Lebanon and other regions, effective immediately. Two, the entry of an intruding drone into Iran airspace, which was destroyed in the city of Lahr in Fars province, in clear violation of the clause prohibiting any further violation of Iranian airspace.

three denial of Iran's right to enrichment which was included in sixth clause of the framework now the very workable basis on which negotiate has been openly and clearly violated even before the negotiations began in such situations a bilateral ceasefire or negotiation is unreasonable so basically we did it again we did it again this is not this is not a regime these maggots that can be trusted to negotiate in good faith but yeah the uh the maggots are deeply upset about the ballad of stephen miller sad one left to tell about a man who most would say ascend it straight from hell his disposition's roeller is an asshole he's a decent man is he were obviously really should be part of the united states yes his head and his face looks like he died He is a mean. He's a decent man. He's a third.

With his special brand, nearly just a rude to. He's a decent man. The United States of America is running Venezuela. By definition, that's true. Jake, we live in a law, or sorry, we live in a world in which you can. Oh, do shut up. That may be perfect. On Instagram, someone said, G.G. Shapiro Kulik.

Sometimes the internet delivers a masterpiece. Enter the ballot of Stephen Miller written by Bruce Kluger and Maga country music. It's the kind of folk satire that feels it was like it was forged in the deepest corners of the American sense of humor. The song tells the story of a man who appears to have ascended directly from the fiery depths with a disposition so rotten he could make a flower cry. It paints a portrait of a figure so committed to bitterness and cruelty that even the lyrics seems stunned by the level of hostility radiating off of him. And then the chorus arrives and politely clarifies the situation. According to the song, Stephen Miller is an asshole, a twad a douchebag, and a turd.

In other words, the song is simply committed to telling the truth. There's something deeply satisfying about satire that does not dance around the point. No euphemisms, no hedging, just a brutally honest folk ballad that calls it exactly as it sees it. So shout out to Bruce Kluger and Maga Country Music, or Maga County Music, or Maga County Music, for crafting what may be the most honest musical biography

ever written. If you appreciate fearless songwriting, sharp humor, and a song that absolutely refuses to sugarcoat anything, you might enjoy this one.

Play it loud. Share it widely and let the ballad travel far and wide check these guys out. At Bruce Kluger the numeral one, B-R-U-C-E-K-L-U-G-E-R,

and it is. at MAGA country music. Yes, you may, Steve, in New York. Steve said, may I nominate the artist for a Ramalama ding-dong? Yeah, big one. Randy Radar says, I saw that two weeks ago. And apparently, Ralph's, saw the AI, B-Bee-B-B-N. nitwit, Nero, Titanic parody,

they're trolling the fuck out of him. And he can't stand it. You know that he's being protected by the maggots in the White House from ever seeing it. And maybe that's a good thing, because while it would, in fact, stoke the stroke, ah, it also might cause a nuclear conflagration.

God, that was fun. some of this stuff is just plain satisfying but don't breathe too easily because at least one one person says that the nuclear threat is not over that would be Rick Wilson

and he said every taco in Trump's career has been followed by a larger escalation because the reversal itself becomes a wound he has to cauterize the pause is never the end the pause is the windup and to wind up on an Iran war, a war he chose, a war he cannot define victory in,

a war where the adversary gets a vote and the adversary is furious, is going to arrive inside a man who has spent his whole life believing the answer to any problem is to hit it harder than anyone expected. I've been thinking, Wilson continued, about the most consequential, most dangerous change that could come from this doomed and deranged war with Iran, not from where it is tonight, but from where it will be two weeks from now, when the ceasefire is rubble and Trump is cornered worse than he's ever been in his life by markets, by allies, by his own collapsing story, by the mirror. A demonstration, that's the word they'd use.

Rick Wilson continued. A clinical bloodless word, a focus group word, the kind of word that sounds like it belongs in a McKinsey PowerPoint deck, not attached to a mushroom cloud clawing its way into the stratosphere. Donald Trump, cornered by a collapsing strategic position in Iran, boxed in by markets in revolt. Oil spiking, allies fleeing by his increasingly obvious mental infirmities, a domestic political environment turning from brittle to shattered, decides to send a message.

Which goes back to what Senator Markey said, talking to downtown Pamela Brown, who apparently thinks history started the day she was born, and couldn't be bothered to note that nitwit Niro has a history of, saying he wants to use nukes, that puts more that puts more heft behind the idea that

Congress really must debate. It seems so utterly stupid to be here, but Congress really must debate first strike nuclear weapons and whether the United States would ever be justified in doing so.

And God help them if they decide it would be. Because then Russia, China, and Pakistan and India, and North Korea, all say, well, all righty then. I don't think the cortisol levels are going to get to settle down. And remember, again, Iran apparently understands American law better than this Maggot White House does. because they just pushed him further if it holds for two weeks they pushed him further toward that deadline

contemplated in the War Powers Act but as to that debate on nuclear first strikes I think I already know what one of the one of the petulant whines from the maggots would be well he's the commander in chief we ain't got no business telling him what he can and cannot do, stupid maggots,

don't even want the power that the Constitution gives them. The power to declare war, quite honestly, the most important power that the Congress possesses, and that we haven't bothered with since December the 8th, 1941. And by the way, we're approaching the third hour of the program. Two days of near goose eggs. yesterday was almost one except for a kind and generous friend

today is one so far and we are a full five days plus part of sixth unfunded $40 funds April the 1st the second the third and the 6th 7th and 8th remain

unfunded and the bills the bills bills bills bills I wonder if that was what Po actually meant to write. Well, they are awaiting. Yeah. I take Rick Wilson seriously on that one. I genuinely do. Upon my soul, I do.

And apparently before he came out and acted all butch in that press conference, well, at least one report from MS. Now and David Rody, there was a revolt brewing inside the Pentagon. This comes from my former filthy morning habit today. We're not going back down to $67 a barrel. I mean, we're at 94 right now. 67 is where we were before this war began. So I think we just have to temper our expectations

about what may ultimately happen, but still, you clearly have a lot of folks feeling at least better about where things are today, included they are, at least for the moment. Because they're sociopaths. I don't have to be like you do, Andrew, but I can do that math. A long way to go before prices are reduced to this, not just an oil, but across the board. Right.

To where they were before the conflict. CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin. Thank you as always. Also hard to imagine Iran agreeing to a joint toll booth scenario straight from us as or any of the other countries that use that waterway paying. Somebody go back and get a shitload of dimes. The United States. Meanwhile, Vice President J.D. Vance is still in Budapest this morning after campaigning yesterday with Hungary's authoritarian leader, Victor Orban. His appearance comes ahead of the country's high-stakes election this coming weekend.

Orban's trailing in the polls after 16 years in power. While speaking at a conference earlier this morning, the Vice President weighed in on the ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Iran. repeatedly calling it a fragile truce. If the Iranians are willing in good faith to work with us, I think we can make an agreement. If they're going to lie, if they're going to cheat, if they're going to try to prevent even the fragile truths that we've set up from taking place, then they're not going to be happy. Because what the president has also shown is that we still have clear military, diplomatic, and maybe most importantly, we have extraordinary economic leverage.

So the president has told us not to use those tools. He's told us to come to the negotiating table, but if the Iranians don't do the exact same thing, they're going to find out that the President of the United States is not one to mess around. He's impatient, he's impatient to make progress. He has told us to negotiate in good faith, and I think if they negotiate in good faith, we will be able to find a deal. But that's a big if, and ultimately it's up to the Iranians how they negotiate. I hope they make the right decision.

So David Rode, the Vice President, still in Hungary. in Hungary, despite the fact that a war was raging in the Middle East. There are also domestic elections he could be campaigning in. Instead, he's doing it for Viktor Putin's favorite European leader. I'm sorry, Vladimir Putin's favorite European leader, Victor Orban. And yesterday even Vance parroted this nonsensical talking point that it's Ukraine, Ukraine, interfering in elections rather than Russia. It is just so many people who have encountered this during the last couple of days that just reacted with disbelief. Like, really?

The vice president's over there campaigning for who? So I, Inzamam Rashid, who was on earlier from Dubai, and I was hearing from people, J.D. Vance was one of the key negotiators with Iran. It was Whitkoff, Kushner, and Vance. And there was questions from people in the region about why is he in Hungary? This is this incredible moment. The president of the United States has just threatened to destroy a civilization, but he's in Hungary.

And just hearing J.D. Vance sitting in a. in a country run by an authoritarian, lavishly praising the president, talking about the president and how tough he is. It's just unnerving to me. And just my last thought, this war was a test of how we wage war as a democracy. We are a democracy. And I feel like as a journalist, that is my core belief. And it's the most defining trait we have.

So I completely agree with you in terms of Congress, not playing a role. Part of our democracy is you have to persuade Congress. The president, you know, didn't have to do that. your point about this rhetoric that no American, our values, like it has heard us to talk about possibly wiping out a civilization. And then, you know, Secretary Higgs says saying, we had locked and loaded, we were going to take out all these bridges and that somehow the regime was profiting from bridges and power stations. You know, I had military, former military lawyers saying they were talking to current military lawyers, and these lawyers were going to resist

inside. They were not going to sign off on a target list that involved war crimes. And I can just tell you from embeds in my own time in the military, and embeds and then people I've known in the military, the United States military does not intentionally commit war crimes, period. It does not engage in that kind of warfighting. That's one of our qualities as a democracy. And so this administration... The ghosts from the lie would like a word. ...was testing that and flirting with that. We have a lot. We have a lot of... killed civilians, there's no question. We've made huge mistakes in war. But I just, you know, so I don't know how we did as a democracy. B, B, minus. You know, but here we are. And,

really, B, B minus? We're at, we're not at Gentleman's D. We are at Barbarians F. But, well, those lawyers would have been fired. And then what? Steve in New York nuclear strike, here's the deal. Even if we don't see a nuclear strike, the fact that a president has seriously considered it means we have already crossed a rubicon. We will never have real allies again.

I don't know if I necessarily agree with that, Steve. if we write this ship and if we make clear that we know that we were being that we were being led astray by a madman well maybe there's hope then Steve I know hope

and thank you Ralph's Ralph says I'll offer a $50 challenge of Victor Viktor Viktor Orban is kicked to the curb in the election Oh, I sure do hope so. I sure do hope so. Thank you, Ralph. Thank you.

And in the meantime, if we could just finish off on, if we could just finish off last Wednesday, that would be great. By tomorrow, that would just keep us six days unfunded. 40 bucks finishes off a week ago today, April 1st. An anonymous individual says, I'll put 100 bucks toward the horn. although mentioned frequently in Star Trek

the Klingon the next generation the Klingon character Kaelis first appears in Star Trek the original series along with Abraham Lincoln Kaelus was known for attacking the enemy during negotiations yeah

I can't remember in that episode does he wind up being the one who kills Lincoln tough tough for poor Abraham Lincoln by the way Abraham Lincoln the founding fathers FDR, Barack Obama,

all appear prominently in that Stephen Miller is an asshole video. The videos every bit as good as the song. Thank you, kind anonymous internet, friend. Thank you so much. We don't intentionally commit war crimes. Steve in New York says, fuck this tool. What the fuck was the Iraq war? Well, you can't talk about the Iraq war, Steve,

because we have to look. forward and not by I feel sick every time I have to do that line war crimes Jeremy says the hundreds of dead citizens men women children grandparents aunts uncles that died on the the way of death fleeing from the Iraq border that we killed as we called them troops only to later see it was a civilian cars buses trucks that would they would like a word about how we don't commit war crimes. Yeah, indeed. So let's go over to the stress line and find out who's been waiting patiently. Hey, welcome to the program. Will I make it to my 63rd trip around the Sean Rock fan?

I'd say answers point to yes. For once the cracked screen on my old Magic 8 ball. is giving something besides answer Hasey, ask again later. You put a little stank on it, did you? Oh, good. Yeah. How are you doing, lady?

I'll be quite candid. I'm not okay. That's something, that's something, that's... That makes about $330 million of this, right, Sam. I wish it was $330 million, but there are still those weird-ass maggots who are out there going, I hope he does. I hope he mooks.

Iran. You remember how John McCain was singing, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, Iran. Only a president with all the courage like President Trump's got would have the courage to bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran

and do it nuclear. Well, cadet bone spurs aside. The man failed his first leadership test when he failed to predict protect cadets under his authority from being bullied at that military

things reform school that he was sent to. So I have definite feelings about his leadership style and I use the term leadership extremely loosely. I found out something today. It seems that our dear Penel, up in being resources is been selling her venom for medical use

and making a tiny little profit at the same time. Evidently, ring octopus venom is used in the study of the human nervous system at the tune of about $1,200 an ounce.

So I say she could get plenty of groceries for that, which is good considering they're expecting new fry any time now. But Roxanne, this man is, this dip shit is out of control. He has no filter, which tells me the drugs he's done over the years, years have done their job and the maggots that are in my family which is a good number of them are still

making goddamn excuses for it. My brother started burbling about open borders the last Saturday when we were looking at the house in Winchester. By the way we did not close on that house. It was

a fucking wreck. Be this a lesson to you all that you should look at any property you intend to buy with your own two eyeballs. The floor had holes in it. The public

record said it was built on a slab, but with the holes in the floor, we shine flashlights down in there. It was bare dirt. The house was built in 1900 prior to prior to building codes.

So it's a mess. My brother touched a wall and the house moved. It was getting ready to fall in. I didn't even go all the way through the house because I was afraid I was going to fall through the floor. So let this be a lesson.

It's always always look at a house you're about to buy. You never know what you'll find. Oh, this had some terracine heaters on the big stove size, teresine heaters in the, in two parts of the house. That was what the main heating system was. There was so much paling, my dad looked over and said, that's a fire hazard, that's a fire hazard, that's a fire hazard, that's a fire hazard.

the roof needs were placed there's water damage all over the floor the ceilings are gone the toilet was dismantled there was pipes everywhere the only thing less organized is a Trump White House

okay you earned that one so that's not that's not just the Dave's 64th first birthday Alamabella will I do appreciate it?

No, that was not a mercy Rom-A-Lama ding-dong. But so where, what exactly is the status now? Well, the seller is an attorney in Atlanta.

And he bought its sight unseen. We're sending in pictures because I put $300 earnest money down and told him that we would go forward if it looked like the pictures I'd seen. It did not. And we're in the process of gathering that all up to send to him.

He's got another house, but there's a buyer in there already, but they're behind on their payments, and they're scheduled to be done on the first or out by the first and I have to be out of here by the first so I'm and he's out of the country at the moment

so I'm going to on Friday I'm going to give him all the information I've got verify the address on the other house check it out My brother and my dad have been past it, but they're not sure whether it would fit for me.

And I knew there was something wrong when the guy was asking $7 or $6.99 for it. And when I told him about all the problems, he immediately dropped it down to around 42. But it is not habitable in any way, shape, or form. the floors alone forbid it. If it had solid floors and the walls weren't separating

from the floor. If you had anything that you could hang your hat on, possibly literally, well, yeah, and I don't. My dad estimates that it would take about $80,000 to lift

the house up, put something underneath it, lower it down, get the walls structurally sound and do the basic repairs that it would need just to make it habitable. Not to make it comfortable.

Well, to say Louise, my dad asked me, he said, do you want my professional opinion? I said, yes. And the upshot of it was, run, do not walk away from this. And my dad's been doing this since like 89.

So I tend to trust him on this. And sadly, I had to tell Ben the divorce lawyer in Atlanta that there was no way in hell that we could go forward with the deal. He's like, well, I've got people lining up to see it. I'm like, you might want to hold off on that. Because frankly, in all the opinions, my dad, my brother, myself, he'd be better off dropping that house and putting another structure on the lot. But I'm not going to be the one to buy it. So.

Right. Well, it sounds like you need to pay attention to your father in this instance. Yeah, yeah. But the good news is that we might have options up near Muncie, and that would move me closer to my family, although for years I've been resisting that with every ounce of my being. Yeah, I can certainly understand why. My friend Jerry insinuated that I should go over at Christine's house

and try to strike up a romance with her again, And knowing that Jerry doesn't know all the particulars about my relationship with the beloved X, a snowball has got a better chance to survive in the highest part of the 80s to my striking up another romance with the beloved X. and I told Christine about it he doesn't know me does he I'm like yeah I know I know he'd be gutshot with a hole

and then I'd have to explain to his wife why he's covering the home with a book nothing but a bunch of bloody stumps yeah I mean I don't know I don't know all the significant details but I'm guessing that's a non-star

Carter? Yeah, that's definitely a no-go there, Roxanne. That will not happen. Not in this life time? Probably not in the next one. I'm hoping for the one after that. But by then, but Christine's got a long memory.

So I don't think that. There's the outside chance that that wouldn't happen either. But that's okay. Jerry's wife is an OBJU. from what I understand, her sewing skills are pretty good. So if I can gather up the parts, I'm sure she knows a couple of good surgeons, pick and patch Jerry back together again. You know, it might actually improve the looks.

But, yeah, I've been having a good day today. So I've just been relaxing, playing around on my phone, trying to avoid any of the news because it's all fucking depressing. Hopefully, I will be able to get all this taken care of. Next week, my father turns 81. So I now know that my, my, uh, my aprils from here on have

are chock-a-block full birthdays for myself, my dad and my baby sister. Who, unfortunately for me, got my wished for birthday. But no. She was born.

I, I switch birthdays with her, but I have a feeling she won't go for that. She's been celebrating her birthday on the purse for so many years. She's kind of gotten used to it. So I don't think she's going to be willing to trade. Yeah, I'd say probably not. But now, as far as these douchebags stringing along the knuckle breathing, mouth walking, goobers who think

well don't Trump can book and run for as many terms as he wants obviously the literacy campaign that Barbara Bush advocated didn't take too well

Roxam now I applaud her effort after all we know her son George had reading issues or is Ann Richard said about George Sr.

He was born with a silver foot in his mouth. Yeah, I was waiting for that, yeah. God, I love that one. See, we need a few more Democratic politicians like her. I think they'd put the fear of the almighty into the Republicans because there's no way

they could have ever accused Anne She was coming for our guns. And she was a proud gun owner. But like a lot of Texans of her generation, the ones I grew up with as a boy, yeah, there were guns around, but by God, if you were a child and you were touching it without proper adult supervision, you'd get your backside handed to you. Oh, honey, did you drop that over there? did I drop that for you?

You know, if you could sit down the week after, you'd consider yourself quite fortunate. Without a doubt. But see, here's the problem. I mean, I'm not for physically abusing a child, but if you swat one

on the butt to get their attention when they're toddlers, you're not going to get the Donald Trump's of the world. His problem is the adults in his life when he was a young did not show him where the bright line was. So he thinks as an adult,

he can get away with anything his little mind confused of or it gets shoved into. And as far as JD spending high tea with Wicter, well, you know, with your daddy melting down as quickly as he is there, JD, you might want to come home because there might be a federal court judge looking for you, and it may not be to swear you in.

We've got a lot of cleaning up to do, Roxanne. Yeah, oh, we do. I don't think I'm going to see it. I can't help my almost hopeless propensity for trying to, you know, game this shit out a few moves on the chessboard. you know we've had stories that say that jimmy dick was one of the lone voices saying maybe attacking iran isn't the smartest thing in the world and i do not ever want to give credit to the jd egg

but you know he wasn't but he he was in liability well yeah but he he also was a a member of the uh what uh third marine fighting keyboard warriors in Kuwait at some point during the illegal war against the people of Iraq? Yes, he was. And he may... But every Marine keyboard, even a keyboard warrior in the Marine Corps is a rifleman. Yeah, and he may have shit his BDUs on a few occasions, you know, worrying about incoming. Well, he was having to sit-call for an...

infected paper cut one of the two well you know the the the the friction burns you can get from the wrong kind of sofa you know uh so take that into account but but that having been said he was he was on the let's don't do this side of things and and and then he got shuffled off with uh uh whit cough and jared and And the Iranians at one point said, can we just deal with him and not the other two chuds, please? But no. And then he got humiliated by finding out while he was in Hungary things that he'd been kept out of the loop on. I can't help wondering if he hasn't figured out some scenario if he can pull it off where this works out for him really, really well.

because as I noted yesterday if he becomes president due to the disability or death of the president he's president but under the 25th Amendment he's just acting president yeah and as long as he's acting president

he could be acting president for the rest of the term and still have the potential to run for two terms of his own right And I remember you and Dr. Bill and I had that conversation a few years back. I checked with one of my professors, I, UPI, which is now Indiana University of Indianapolis. I checked with her, and she was a retired lawyer who was also a history professor at that fine institution. and I talked to her, and she informed me of how that works,

the Votes President can serve after the last half of the president he was serving under at the time of death or resignation or incapacitation, he could share about that president's term and then run for two of his own. If it happens before the 50% mark on the term, then... He's limited. He's limited. But the thing is that as between impeachment, at which point J.D. Vance, if he were not impeached as well, would become president versus the 25th Amendment where he would remain acting president. Acting president works out better for him.

Yeah, because he doesn't... And all of these men, and all of these... He assumes the powers of the president, and he does not have the title. Well, I mean, it says specifically in Section 4 of the 25th Amendment, capital A acting capital P president. Right. So that really does work out to his advantage. But of court. But he has since gotten on board with all these war crimes, so he's impuged.

So he's impeachable too, you know, if we had a non-disfunctional Congress. And here's what I don't. Mike Tiny Johnson, I'm surprised Mike Tiny Johnson isn't trying to get them both impeached at the same time. Oh, don't think. He's an ordained Southern Baptist minister. Don't think he hasn't thought about that. Oh, and by the way, just to interrupt for a second, we have a Star Trek correction on the previous remark about Calus. Lee in New York at Memory Alpha says in the episode of the Savage Curtain, it was Colonel Green who attacked while negotiating.

Calus, like Roxanne, was good at doing other voices. Oh, so there's that. and thank you kind anonymous internet friend we are now down to 1440 and we are not a goose egg today that's most helpful and you know well thank you for keeping us for being a goose egg and maybe we'll just keep driving that downward it would be most most good uh Dave's new diggs the camel cardinal brother deacon Asa writes in

so they used the old it was owned by a very nice divorce attorney from atlantic stick on him Huh? Can you ask Dave if the sellers told him the attorney only ever used to use it to drive to his divorce law office and back asking for a friend? No, he's never actually been to the house. Oh, my. He bought it sight and seen. And my family's been buying and fixing and flipping houses since I was a child. and you always, always, always, always, always put your own eyes on any kind of purchase like that. Unless you've worked in that area and you know somebody that's still there that you trust,

then you could possibly get away with that. But the general rule is anything over 100 miles from where you live, you shouldn't buy. So I told them with his expenses Things are down south There's no way in hell I've moved to Tennessee Or Georgia or Arkansas Or anything like that

But Indiana Indiana is getting as expenses As some of the stuff in the Atlanta area And the drivers are just almost as crazy I was going to say which drivers are historically the worst in the country bullshit but

no I will put Atlanta drivers up against anybody in the country for being the worst from a pedestrian point of view simply because no matter how fast I'm wheeling across the streets of Hot Atlanta at whatever time of day or night.

There always seems to be some licensed Georgia driver ready to run my ass down. I don't know. The Bostonians might take issue. And then, you know, there's... Well, there's the Chicago drivers, but they give it when I'll run for the money. And then there's the state of Ohio. No hate. but ask any West Virginia, they'll tell you.

You can, you know, there are some parts of the, there are some parts of the interstates here where you can see two or three miles down the road. And if you happen to see a car way, way, way, way up in front of you, driving in the left lane with not another car in sight, you can bet that when you get up there, It'll have Ohio plates. Bingo. and be doing about 49 miles an hour in the left lane.

Uh-oh, not good. Have these people ever heard of mountains? Well, I think they're intimidated by them. I remember my mom was driving through the Rockies, and my dad was a cable splicer, so he'd been out in all weather in Indiana. And he woke up, mom was driving. We were driving through the Rockies, and Dad said, dear, whatever you do, do not slam on your brakes. She goes, why not?

And he said, you're on black ice. And this was high up in the Rockies where you look off the passenger side window, and you look down, you're looking down several hundred feet before you hit anything flat. So mom pulled over and she and dad switched sides because he knew how to drive on the stuff. And she didn't, and she'd been driving on it for an hour and a half. Ooh. Yeah, she had three kids in the back, a husband in the passenger side. And she's just driving along like it's a nice fall day and, well, the ice and snow had already hit some of the peaks in the Rockies and, well, there you go.

So, yeah, I understand, I understand your reference to the Ohio drivers. Not all. By God, they think they own the road. Oh, I mean, I don't want to speak in two strident terms, but, for instance, up in Parkersburg, there are a lot of Ohio plates on the roads there. in Parkersburg because it's just across the river consider where Parkersburg is, girl. Yeah, it's right across the river from Mayreta and Bell Prey.

And most of the sketchy driving I see in Parkersburg, not saying, just saying. Oh, and by the way, just something to throw out there, the Maggot Legislature in the Buckeye State has decided they would, want to start serving as the fashion police or have the police serve as the fashion police. Yeah, they're running a bill through the legislature that would ban people from appearing in public dressed inappropriately insofar as they want to judge what is feminine and what is masculine. So this opens an absolute Pandora's box.

And again, it will be weaponized against cis women, especially masculine presenting cis women, so-called butch lesbians. But regardless of what the cis woman might be doing professionally. Yeah, well, it talks in terms of performance. but the bill is written so vaguely, so ambiguously? Oh, is it one of those bills that's written to be purposely ambiguous until it's challenged in court? And the judge looks over and goes, there's no fucking way that you can enforce this? No, it's written. But it's years for it to happen?

Something like that, but no, it's written ambiguously because the judge in Ohio, will say, off to prison. Well, no, Roxanne, you know how this could backfire on them? You know how some judges like to dress up and little black mooos and things like that? Could their honors be arrested for such things, prancing around the courthouse and those black mou-rooms? I mean. I mean, I'm just asking for potential criminal defendant.

Yes, I know. Well, Your Honor, you can't sit in judgment in this case. You're breaking the law. You're wearing a black, a little black dress up there. May it please, the court, the court is wearing an LBD. For some reason, I don't, and see, if you make the mistake, of saying that and the judge's name

happens to be Stephanie or Patricia or something like that then you could really find yourself in a world of contempt. Yes. I mean,

am I wrong? I mean, I haven't had a cup of coffee in law school but Lachick would dictate that that would cause all kinds of trouble as to be unincorcible. There we are.

Exactly. And the judge is prancing around the courthouse is just one possibility. I mean, call coming in, Roxanne. I'll talk to you later. All right, you take care. Give our best to Christine. Hey, I really want you to find a place to land. I just really do.

We all do. I will. All right. Bye. Bye. And a note coming in from Sylvie. Going back to perusing properties. The saga of, oh shit.

Back in the 1970s, the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society, the Lasfus, LASFS, was looking for a clubhouse, having outgrown its venture a boulevard location. No, I've got that guitar riff running through my mind. Thanks, Sylvie. We found a lovely little house with a back building that had been a garage but had later been converted into a workshop. It was perfect. My late ex, not latex, husband looked at it, it was perfect. The club president looked at it, perfect. Larry Niven and Jerry

Pornel looked at it. Perfect. We closed. It wasn't until the moving day that I, skinny little 20-something that I was then, decided that while the first three walls of the back building were perfect, nobody had really looked at the fourth wall, which was very close to a tall ivy-covered fence. I shimmied back, saw the four wall and came out to where my non-latex husband was standing.

That's for the latex husband. I looked at him and said, oh, shit, and pointed, he shimmied back there, then back out, tapped Bruce on the shoulder and said, oh, shit. Bruce went back, came out, waved Larry over. Oh, shit. Larry went in, found Jerry, uh,

Elaine and the rest. In turn, seven or eight of us went back there, came out and said, ah shit the fourth wall wasn't it was semi-rotted plywood covered with a thin veneer of paint on the inside but not the outer side and had a large number of vines growing through around over all concealed by a curtain hanging inside so yeah basically we discovered that when one is buying a house check all four walls else ah shit mm-hmm Damn, Sylvie. And then some names you're throwing around there, Larry Niven and Jerry Pornel. What did they write together? Was it Ringworld or the moat in God's Eye? Been a long, long time.

Okay, so what yet remains among the stupidities? Well, Sonia Sotomayor. Let's put it this way. There's a conibption incoming, most certainly. The Supreme Court Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor put a shot not across the bow of beer buffing, Brat Kavanaugh, his law clerks squee and quiff. She put it amid ships. She was speaking at the University of Kansas School of Law, ironic,

in so far when you consider what Kansas just did relative to people's driver's licenses. But she took aim at what are now called, and he doesn't like it that they are, Kavanaugh stops, because Beirboof and Boop, B, B, B, B, Brat said that it was okay for ice goons and CBP assholes. to basically racially profile someone and said that they could be targeted based on their language, occupation, race, or presence at specific locations like bus stops. And in discussing it at the University of Kansas,

she said, I had a colleague in that case who wrote, you know, these are only temporary stops. This is from a man whose parents were professionals and probably doesn't really know any person who worked. by the hour, oh, that's going to sting. And she went on to point out that even short-term detentions can be sufficient to wreck a family, even if it's a matter of just hours when they're wrongly abducted by ice goons.

She said, those hours that they took you away, nobody's paying that person. And it makes a difference between a meal for him and his kids that night and maybe just cold supper. and I would add, or no supper at all. Life experiences, she went on, teach you to think more broadly and to see things others may not, and when I have a moment where I can express that on behalf of people who have no other voice, that I'm being given a very rare privilege. And she went on to say that Kavanaugh's stops,

relegates the interests of U.S. citizens and individuals with legal status to a single sentence, positing that the government will free, these individuals as soon as they show they're legally in the United States. Because Beer Boof and Bubbub-Bab-Brat said apparent ethnicity could be a relevant factor for the goons. And then he tried to walk it back, but, well,

the horses were out of the barn and well over the horizon by then. But she's right. He doesn't give a flying fuck about people who work for a living. He's been swaddled in privilege since the moment he emerged from his mother's birth canal. Assuming he wasn't hatched. But there's the issue of Justice Sotomayor as well. That line.

When I have a moment where I can express that on behalf of life experiences teach you to think more broadly and to see things others may not. And when I have a moment where I can express that on behalf of people who have no other voice, that I'm being given a very rare privilege. It's a pity you didn't use that fucking privilege, Sonia, when people who had no other voice, adolescents who can't even vote, were told that they could be subjected to. Conversion therapy. Torture.

A practice roundly condemned by the American Pediatric Society, the American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, the American Psychiatric Association, as being dangerous, absolutely harmful, cruel, sadistic. But Justice Sotomayor said, well, it's only talk therapy.

What could it harm? But there's a little bit of a coda to that case, namely that it's another fraud upon the court. Do you remember the 303 creative case that also came out of Colorado. Another case brought by the Alliance

demeaning freedom. That 501C3 tax-exempt grift whose only purpose is to attack the LGBTQ plus community. 303 creative was the website case where some good God fear and upstanding Bible

believing Christ-centered evil, evangelical, gun, to men, list, Samu Sexual Christian maggot, web designer, said, Oh, please Supreme Court save me. My sincerely held religious beliefs tell me that I can never make a website for a queer couple. And the Supreme Court of the United States,

our most puissant dread sovereign, Supreme Catholic Majesty said, There, there, punk, and, You won't ever have to make a website for a queer couple. there, there, it's all going, it's going to be okay. Don't cry. Poor baby. And then it turned out that she had never been even approached to build a website for the wedding of two men or two women or two non-binary people, ever.

and that in fact the person cited by the Alliance demeaning freedom, while a real person was a real straight man married to a real straight woman who had never said so much as boo to this good, god-fearing Christian web designer. Well, the Alliance Deming Freedom had the conversion therapy case too. and that good Christian therapist said, oh, my religious rights are being trampled because I don't think trans people should exist or gay people.

And when Colorado said, I can't use conversion therapy and talk therapy, they just trampled all over my religious liberty, and then they peed on it, and then they poopied on it, and then they stirred it all up. It's terrible, so harmed.

Guess what? She had never, ever, not even once done talk therapy with a trans kid, a gay boy, lesbian girl, bisexuals,

none of them, ever. But this court just blinks and says, well, sure, practice all the fraud you want on us. Because you're questions, and it's okay. for you to lie. And Sonia went along with that. Well, it's only talk therapy.

And there's every possibility in the world now that some very real kid will wind up really, really dead as a result. But that phony baloney plaintiff well, her religious liberties are still intact.

Yay, praise Jesus. I wish I could just report a story like this and say, oh, well, good for a second. No. No. That conversion therapy case was eight to one with Katanji Brown Jackson being the only person who raised a moral, ethical, and legal voice. Oh, and we'll wrap up with this. Pope Leo yesterday. It is after all, Per meet in Wednesday.

Yesterday, Pope Leo said of nitwit Niro's genocidal threat, this is truly not acceptable. Here there are certainly, I am so tempted to use my bad Chicago accent. This is truly not acceptable. Here there are certainly questions of international law, but even more than this, a question of morality for the good of people, attacks on civilian infrastructure are against international law, but it is also against

a sign of the hatred and division we are capable of. Well, the maggots got all but hurt. One maggot, Mike Cernovich, said, Has the Pope told the Council of Bishops and Catholic Charities to stop destroying my country via mass migration and welfare fraud? Has he ever stated that immigration fraud is a sin? There's no such term as immigration fraud, I don't think. Hmm.

David French at the New York Times said, This is the American that embodies our best values and ideals, not that man in the White House. Sacred Heart University professor of Catholic studies, Daniel Rober, said, truly remarkable that a guy who few heard of a year ago and never sought this has taken on the role of not just the moral voice one ought to expect of the papacy, but a national icon to whom Americans turn their lonely eyes.

Oh, and this is a funsy. You know, the J.D. Egg is flogging a new book. It's called Communion. Yes. He was flogging it online and said, I've been writing this book for a long time, and I'm honored to finally be able to share the full story with you all. Communion is about my personal journey, how I found my way back to faith.

It'll be available in June, but you can pre-order today, you know, with a link. Of course, it's worth remembering that well after his conversion to Roman Catholicism, the JD Egg, you remember the they're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats thing? Yeah. JD Egg said back then, well, it's, I mean, if I have to lie to get my point across, you're damn right, I'm going to lie. Right, Jesus? but this is all about

finding his way back to faith that faith is the Catholic Church and the little church in the wildwood that's on the cover is drum roll please the Elk Creek Virginia Methodist Church

not put too fine a point on it but the folks who attend that church probably refer to people like JD as a Mary Worshiper or a mackerel snap or suggests that he obeys the Pope at Rome, a papist. But yeah, that's a Methodist church in Elk Creek, Virginia.

It's a, looks like a lovely little structure. That, that, that, that, that person, the JD Egg, honest to goodness, could fuck up a one-car funeral. And I'm sure there are some tears shed over in the Krusty the nasty Nazi, Gnome household and it has nothing to do with her cross-dressing hubby. No. Her flying bedroom jet is to be repurposed. And of course, Krusty won't get to use it anymore.

Instead, the $70 million luxury jet will go to melanoma. I just love this new jet. but we're going to have to get new mattress is icky with Kirstie and Lewandowski on it my god heads would explode if Michelle Obama or Jill Biden had done anything even

remotely similar to this nonstop no bottom now Leah New York says don't say it looks like a lovely structure until you check that the walls are solid oh well played and speaking of which sylvie wrote back and said larry and jerry and etc members of lassfs include larry niven the late jerry pornell david mac daniel author of many man from uncle novels
