Starting point is 00:01:55 whenever it is that something catches your ear, as it were. And if you could take a moment to leave us a comment or a remark or a review on whatever podcasting platform you use, it sure would be helpful as some other members of the community are doing. If everybody did it, we'd probably go way the hell up in the algorithm rankings. So fingers crossed, and again, thanks to those of you who are our people. already commenting from from from show to show to show to show thank you so much now let's see oh if you are listening live well feel free to pop by the old holler tree the aforementioned mary wacky zany where some of us hang out during the three hours in which this program is in fact live
Starting point is 00:02:52 you'll be welcomed by those who are there. I do from time to time see y'all when you're around and about in the room. So, yeah, it's great to be in your company this afternoon. It's been a beautiful day here in the hills and hollers of almost level west by Cold Trump-Genia Stan. I mean, gorgeous. This is one of the best. I don't think this one is the best. but this is one of the best days that we've had in a while.
Starting point is 00:03:28 So, well, it'd be nice to have a string of them, honestly. Getting out and getting a little bit of sunlight. I'm not talking about just going out and treating the sun like my own personal tanning bed. But just, yeah, it'd be nice to have several days of it. And I'm not sure exactly what we're. we're looking at over the next few days. Yeah, we've got, we've topped out at 71 degrees today. Tomorrow's going to be perfect.
Starting point is 00:04:06 Probably going to be really pretty on Saturday and Sunday, too, so I'm looking for, ooh, Sunday looks promising. High of 79, goodness gracious. We're not quite too naked radio yet, but I'm glad. I imagine many of you are absolutely tickled pink, but we're not because you don't want to have to think about that sort of thing. Great. Hi, I'm Roxanne, and it is Thornin' Inside Thursday,
Starting point is 00:04:33 and we've got plenty of them. We always do, don't we? But every program here at the Horn begins with gratitude, and this program is no different, so thanks go out to our ninth day of the month's subscribers and contributors via PayPal. so that means thank you ever so kindly to Ralphs, thank you Ralphs, and thank you to James. Thank you so kindly. Where we stand in terms of trying to keep the program funded?
Starting point is 00:05:06 Well, we did manage to finish last Wednesday, the first day of April. So the first day of April is fully funded. We are working on getting the second day of April funded. that's about 240 bucks. The overall deficit is $1,740. So hopefully we take a bite out of that. I really don't want to cross the $2,000 barrier tomorrow to end the first full week of April. So anything we can do to bring that down is much appreciated and is most helpful.
Starting point is 00:05:44 Jewish holiday update, courtesy of Lee in New York. Passover ends at sunset. set. So is there a, I don't know, Lee, I'm not being, I'm not, I'm not being obtuse. Does it end with a bang? Does it, is there a special ending to it, or is it just, huh, we don't have to do, I mean, is, is it like, you know, like other major holidays where you go, ha, we don't have to do that for another year? yay I sincerely do not know
Starting point is 00:06:22 but for those who celebrate I hope you had a joyous is that right Passover? Yeah I can't imagine Mary or I don't know
Starting point is 00:06:38 I'm just that dumb where these things are concerned but at any rate thank you for the information Lee where to begin well we might as well begin at the beginning with the password
Starting point is 00:06:52 false false there I was having planned today's program and then I saw a notification and I realized oh wait
Starting point is 00:07:07 yeah I got a spam from the White House even mentioned it on there that melanoma Trump was going to a rest the nation from the White House today. And she did. I had no idea.
Starting point is 00:07:26 And the spam that came from the White House. It didn't say what the topic was, but I can't imagine that Nitwit Nero isn't looking at her going, What the fuck were you thinking? We're trying to get the Epstein's house
Starting point is 00:07:45 off the news, not back on but they really are not very good at the whole messaging thing there in the horror I mean White House no no no
Starting point is 00:08:00 they're getting their ass handed to them by Iran in the propaganda wars we'll probably get to that in a minute and now it turns out that they they screwed up melanoma's denial of
Starting point is 00:08:17 ever having non yefrey esteen mm-hmm so well let's check in
Starting point is 00:08:30 she wore a she wore a she wore a glen plaid gray suit thingy and
Starting point is 00:08:42 issued a complete denial of ever Well, basically She proved that she can plagiarize someone else besides Michelle Obama I'm saying I did not have sex with that man
Starting point is 00:09:00 Jeffrey Epstein No Really Must be getting really Bad inside the White House What you believe His images and stories Are completely false
Starting point is 00:09:18 I'm not a witness or a name witness in connection with any of Epstein's crimes. My name has never appeared in court documents. She's not a weakness? Is she a strength? I don't know. I really don't care, do you? Positions, victim statements, or FBI in interviews surrounding the Epstein matter. I have never had any knowledge of Epstein abuse of his victims.
Starting point is 00:10:00 I was never involved in any capacity. I was not a participant, was never on Epstein's plane, and never visited his private island. I have never been legally accused or convinced of a crime in connection with Epstein sex trafficking, abuse of minors, and other repulsive behavior. The false smears about me from mean-spirited and politically motivated individuals and entities looking to cause damage to my good name to gain financially and climb politically must stop. Really? Must I? Okay, okay, Melanoma. The false smears will stop.
Starting point is 00:11:05 Did she write it herself? Or did the goddess of irony write it? The false smears must stop. How about the true ones? that is not photograph of me standing with Jeffrey Epstein and my husband Donald. That is, that is, that is, that is clever AI body double. That is sure, honey. I got a note from Joy in Ann Arbor before the program.
Starting point is 00:11:47 Joy just trying to get out in front of the, things. I'm making a public declaration right now that I did not know Jeffrey Epstein or Gisley Maxwell and I did not commit any crimes with them. Yeah. Convinced. Captain, it was terrible. They put things in our ears.
Starting point is 00:12:11 Brother Deacon Asa, the Camel Cardinal, think, convinced? Yeah, convinced. She speaks five languages, don't you know? Mm-hmm. Yeah Hey sailor Ola, Naota Bonjour
Starting point is 00:12:28 Oh Bonjour Marineais I don't do Russian Sailor in Latin is Naota as well
Starting point is 00:12:47 Salway Naota She is after all Undead She was probably around during the Roman Empire That's four That's the genius
Starting point is 00:12:59 It it's pathetic false smear okay but the reals the the the true smears can stand like all of those photos of her
Starting point is 00:13:14 partying one of them at least with her bleary-eyed and fucked up out of her mind and meanwhile the rest of the country went I really don't care do you and But like I said, it was yesterday or the day before that we had the spam from the White House that she would be giving some remarks.
Starting point is 00:13:42 Well, once upon a time, being the First Lady, she could have given them from the East Wing of the White House, which was the purview of the First Lady, but, well, that's gone. I have never been legally accused or convicted, convinced of a crime in connection with Epstein's extract. trafficking, abuse of minors or other, repulsive behavior, legally accused. See, it's the adverbs that'll really bust your ass. The adverbs are where the... Well, that's... The adverbs are the goddess of irony's own personal playground. My attorneys and I have fought these unfounded and baseless lies with success,
Starting point is 00:14:36 and will continue to maintain my sound reputation without hesitation. And then, well, trying, she then said, Now is the time for Congress to act. Epstein was not alone. Just a general reminder, this is entirely unactionable, the following statement. melanoma Trump is the only presidential spouse in the entire
Starting point is 00:15:22 history of this nation not the 250 year history of this nation we will not be 250 until let's see 2037 that's the anniversary of the ratification of the Constitution of the United States but they're counting on
Starting point is 00:15:42 they're counting on most Americans say 4th of July well you know close enough yeah whatever but anyway she is the first presidential spouse in the
Starting point is 00:16:05 239 year history of this nation to ever remove her clothing and appear naked in photographs
Starting point is 00:16:23 for the sexual gratification of total strangers in exchange for money. You see that every word of that, not shaming sex workers, not saying she was a sex worker. But everything I just said
Starting point is 00:16:48 is factual and can be proven not only by a preponderance of the evidence or clear and convincing evidence, but by evidence beyond a reasonable doubt. Because, well, if she was to try to sue over something like that,
Starting point is 00:17:08 well, then something would happen. Discovery! And the jury, the jury would get to see those naked pictures. And the deposition would be brutal and brief. But she would be. wants Congress to suddenly she wants Congress to hold hearings
Starting point is 00:17:32 oh cangerine Tiberius must have loved this part too each and every women should have her day to tell her story in public if she wishes and then her testimony should be permanently
Starting point is 00:17:51 entered into congressional record then and only then will will have the truth. I don't know why, but my terrible melanoma impression is sounding more and more. Like she's the festrunk sister. Remember the festrunk brothers?
Starting point is 00:18:11 Well, here's the festrunk sister. Mm-hmm. And nobody bought it. Adjectives and adverbs. They'll get you every time. The false smears have to stop. Was there nobody that? there, not one lawyer?
Starting point is 00:18:33 Not one English major? To say, you might want to take that adjective out in front of smears, honey. Ah, guess not. And why now? What book is about to come out? You got to wonder. Well, Harry Enton over at CNN,
Starting point is 00:19:02 He's their data dude. He had some bad news after melanomas stirring non-denial denial. Because that's, you know, remember, that's a Watergate term, non-denial denial. I'm saying that the false smears must be right. Because she knows the photographs, they're there of her partying with Epstein and cancels Caligula and Gislane. That one where she's just wasted out of her mind
Starting point is 00:19:38 is just astonishing. But, well, and I love the fact that the goddess of irony is making sure that her first term, I really don't care to you, Jacket, is coming back to bite her in the ass. And, well, that's what Harry Enton
Starting point is 00:19:56 was pointing out on CNN. Seeing and setting the table for what is about to happen or not. That was really interesting. New, we also have some new polling that is out showing public perception of First Lady Melania Trump talking about First Lady Melania Trump and how pulling about her shifting. Seenance Harry Anton is running the numbers on this and he is here. Good morning, my dear. What are you seeing about Melania Trump and how her polling is shifting? Yeah, I would say that the American people really don't care for Melania Trump. Take a look at this.
Starting point is 00:20:30 All right, let's take a look at Melania Trump. net favorable ratings. Look at this. The lowest ever. We're talking about now 12 points underwater. If you go back a little bit more than a year ago, she was three points above water. You go back at this point, about this point in term number one for Donald Trump. Look at that. She was 30 points above water. So at this point, historic lows for Melania Trump, these numbers are absolutely awful. One of the questions is why, why the shift now, but also, I guess, just looking. Yeah, that's a valid question. And I, I have a,
Starting point is 00:21:02 I think I haven't. Well, let's just put it this way. How bad is Nitwit Nero's war that he and Psycho Beebe started? How bad is it going when he would rather have the Epstein files in the news than that? Ooh, mother. You need to look at this always in the historical context of how does she line up against other first ladies. Yeah, okay. if we look at this historically, the worst ever, the worst ever at this point in term number two.
Starting point is 00:21:38 Look at this. We got her at 12 points underwater. Look at the rest of these first ladies on the board right here. They're all way above water, 42 points above water for Michelle Obama, 46 above water for Laura Bush, 25 points above water for Hillary Clinton, who was not always the most popular, and 50 points above water for Nancy Reagan. And I even looked at Joe Biden's numbers at this point in that presidency, That was term one. She was above water as well.
Starting point is 00:22:04 So this is the worst at this point in a presidency as well. Melania Trump breaking records in the way that you don't want to break records. Historically awful. She is. The American people really don't care for her. And you also, I'm saying you have new. And I love the fact that he had to get in a dig at Hillary, because, of course. And yet nobody who doesn't, nobody who doesn't.
Starting point is 00:22:38 pick their teeth with their toenail clippings, even remotely bought a minute, a second of this. But, you know, there is so much more. There really, really is. We'll get to it after we're done having our fun with this. No, no, no, honey, go ahead. Bring up the Epstein files. Anything's better than another Lego AI video.
Starting point is 00:23:08 from Iran I thought it was funny when I did the AI video of me in a fighter jet bombing American citizens with poo but some reporting says that folks in the in the West Wing were
Starting point is 00:23:34 blindsided how were they blindsided the announcement of her remarks came out of the white house comms chop shop I've never been friends with Yefrey Epstein. Uh-huh. Donald and I were invited to same parties as Epstein from time to time,
Starting point is 00:24:06 since overlapping in social circles as common in New York City and Palm Edge. But be clear, I never had a relationship with Obstain or his accomplice, Maxwell. My email... The off-handed... The offhanded confession that she had emailed with Jislane. My email replied to Maxwell cannot be characterized as anything more than casual correspondence. Mm-hmm. Well, apparently, at least according to Jake Taylor over at MS now,
Starting point is 00:24:48 the White House was caught off guard. How? No, really, how? Blindsided? Yeah, okay. And then there's the response from the wider Internet universe. The spokesperson, the actual spokesperson, Tommy Vitor for President Obama, went to what used to be called Twitter and said, What the fuck was that Maladia statement?
Starting point is 00:25:24 And Aaron Rupar, the journalist, said, I'm not sure why Melania decided to make a statement about Jeffrey Epstein seemingly out of nowhere today. But if the idea was to put the ongoing cover up in the rearview mirror, it'll backfire spectacularly. No, Mr. Rupar, as I've just said a few moments ago, the Iran War is such an unmitigated disaster that anything was better than that. a research paralegal and progressive commentator named R.J. Riley, also on that platform that used to be known as Twitter, said, again, no one asked if you were Epstein's victim. That's a deflection. The actual question is why you and your husband were, at minimum, embedded in the same elite party circuit as a known predator for years, praised him publicly, and only distanced himself after Epstein became radioactive. That's not chance. So no, a sense. So no. Aston. self-written book isn't evidence, it's cleanup. Over at the National Scottish Publication, Paul Kavanaugh said, In today's edition
Starting point is 00:26:31 of, you couldn't make this shit up, Malaya Trump is talking about Epstein in order to distract from the Iran war. Yes, the Scott understands it. In order to distract from the Iran War, her husband started in order to distract from Epstein. Oh, what a day. What a day.
Starting point is 00:26:55 And that's the answer. It really is. But that takes us to why it's going so badly. And here's the answer. Mm-hmm. Marking. I got this in a message earlier today. This is real.
Starting point is 00:27:23 It's, yeah, and the use of Lego. Well, I guess Lego is beloved the world. over even to bloody, brutal, fascist, religious maniacs. Well, breaking fuck the news, there is a new Lego video with a new song.
Starting point is 00:27:42 Hey, Orange Pigs. America first. Oops. Oh, boy, that was the slogan you stole. But Bibby's pulling strings and your voters getting cold. We're not just fighting for Iran. Here this is clear. Your people reached out to us. Yeah, we got the DMs here.
Starting point is 00:27:58 If one nation, going stand against the Epstein regime's fear It's us till the last breath We've been doing it for years We're standing here for everyone Your system ever wronged They've known all along The enemy was always you
Starting point is 00:28:10 The real threat war-suit and sung a patriotic song While selling their own citizens And calling it strong stealing from your own people Making them bleed First you screamed America first Now you put losers first Make Israel great again
Starting point is 00:28:28 Your government is run about pedophiles They ordered you to die for Dye for Israel's Files the planet would shake from the level of filth and the crimes in your weight. No wonder Jeff called you the worst, you degenerate snake. Um, you claimed you never set foot. You went 40 plus time.
Starting point is 00:28:51 You sick bastard. You cook. We stepping up to the plate. Epstein regime got a fall. You fake Christian elite sacrificing the ball. Demon. You talk real big for a man with tiny hands. Tiny hands, tiny things, tiny everything.
Starting point is 00:29:03 We saw everything. And word got out, the smallness kind of expands. No wonder all those rage tweets, all those desperate rants. Overcompensating bully always causing the scene. You said you love losers. Well, look at government is run by. Your government is run by better. Well, breaking fuck the news, there is a new league of it.
Starting point is 00:29:34 Yeah. We are, as the hip kids say, we are so cooked where this is concerned. The idea, the very idea, that a hateful regime that despises democracy, really does hate freedom can take the moral high ground because the president of the United States is a lying pedophile turd and the the visuals of him chasing nitwit Niro as a Lego creep chasing little pink-clad girls down a hallway. It's really nothing to laugh about. It's pathetic that these filthy animals have put us in this position. And it's wild how every one of these characters rendered as Legos can be recognized for who they are.
Starting point is 00:30:54 I mean, a few of them are labeled like Rubio. Psycho Beebe is immediately recognizable. but you know Saudi princes I mean damn I remember years ago uh oh she's remembering again I remember years ago
Starting point is 00:31:24 and as Micah says you really need to see the video the visual oh wait what that's different now the visuals on this are amazing the visuals are quite good says Micah and a meme Malania Trump says she was not a victim of Jeffrey Epstein I was not a victim I was predator
Starting point is 00:31:59 Kim I have no idea who the performer is in that video it's AI generated that's that's the Iranian propaganda department putting together videos and I think it's I think that's
Starting point is 00:32:20 I don't think there's necessarily a performer no idea no idea Kim just some it's some voice inside a computer generated by AI who knew the Iranians had a well well and there are back references all over the place
Starting point is 00:32:45 you know, people in rooms that are covered in frost and icicles. There's even a George Floyd reference in this. A George Floyd Lego with a cop's boot on his neck. It's certainly better than the AI videos, like I said, of nitwit, Nero, flying a jet and bombing America with poop. And of course they're propping up the notion that somehow they have the power to reach places like Paris, and they wouldn't but red square. Curious that the only people not being represented in this are, well, Jaina.
Starting point is 00:33:44 I wonder if they used Jaina's AI for this. Oh, and there's even a scene. There's a scene of lined up American bodies in flag-draped coffins with Mitwit Niro saluting the Israeli flag. Another scene of Nitwit Niro sexually assaulting Glotamir Zelensky. Whew, wow. You know, thank you. You've got the... Yeah, you're right, Kim.
Starting point is 00:34:17 That's scary, but it's damn. catchy at least the audio is yeah you know Americans looking at their bills as they go higher and higher another American getting disgusted and slamming a gas pump nozzle on the ground but Jeremy is culturally competent where I am not and says sounds a lot like AI is trying its best to use Eminem's voice in styles it's painfully clear and then cleared it up a bit and said I should have said it's been sampled
Starting point is 00:34:53 well look we know because there are lawsuits underway in various parts of this country we know that AI can be used to nearly perfectly mimic other voices an NPR individual
Starting point is 00:35:13 not a reporter but a host suing over exactly that, having his voice mimicked, sampled by AI, and used in the stream of commerce. Scenes in this thing of nitwit, Nero, standing on top of a pile of a mountain of dead American military personnel and planting an Israeli flag in the top of it, make no mistake, this is anti-Semitic,
Starting point is 00:35:46 because, not, No, it's anti-Israeli is what it is. Because we have no reports out of Iran that Iran is slaughtering its Jewish population, you know, that's been there. Oh, 2,700 years or so. But, yeah, it's, it's astonishing quality. And we apparently are helpless to counter it. and considering how vastly unpopular this stupid war that he started is what could possibly counter it
Starting point is 00:36:28 nobody's sitting around going oh gosh i wish we were ruled by the mullahs fuck no uh-uh but they've got the corruption of this regime nailed just absolutely nailed uh let's see You can find the source that I played this from over at Instagram.
Starting point is 00:37:01 Who is King, W-H-O-I-S-K-I-V-V-V-V-V-V-E-V-V. It starts out with Newt, Nero, looking at a newspaper that says ceasefire with Iran. This is, I mean, at the end of the day, this is embarrassed. really but it won't end until he's gone i mean i know we've we've speculated and it's useless and meaningless at this point in time we speculated about what would happen if the uh if jimmy dick bowman the jade egg whatever were to become president but i can't help remembering the words of Gerald R. Ford, our long national nightmare is finally over. But there's, oh, there's so much more to go into this evening. There really is. Lee pointing out Iranian AI, the Stone Age
Starting point is 00:38:17 technology that Potus believed Iran is using post-war must be from the bedrock quarry and gravel company, Fred and Barney worked there. It must be an AI startup taken over by Mr. Slate. You know, he'd believe it. Yeah. Mr. Slate. Well, Ma! I mean, this AI thing, well, Dick, it's got a great beat and you can dance to it.
Starting point is 00:38:47 Jeremy suggests a reporter should get the courage up and ask, if we've truly bombed all of their industry and technology and such, how are they still producing full-length AI music videos? On an almost daily basis. Yeah. But that's a nice catch, Jeremy. It does sound like Eminem. And Micah asking, I wonder if they use American data centers to do that.
Starting point is 00:39:18 Oh, the irony. But like I said yesterday, we're not out of the woods yet. He's desperate and terrified to the point that even talking about the Epstein Files was better than talking about his humiliation. Bullshit on the idea that this White House was blind. Oh my aching back, please. Yeah. But that's not all there.
Starting point is 00:39:49 That's not all there is on the, on that phrase. Now this is, this one is not, oh dear. That's for Joy in Ann Arbor. I almost said melanoma was Epstein's sloppy seconds, but more accurately sloppy 70 seconds. Elle. Uh, uh, I watched the finale of shrinking.
Starting point is 00:40:16 last night, Victoria and I did. And I learned I learned a new gesture. It takes both hands. And no spoilers. I want y'all to just,
Starting point is 00:40:31 that show has been so good. I don't know if this was the end of it, but it's the end of season three. Oh, it's so good. Just what, it's the, it's basically, It's got the same vibe as Ted Lassau only in Pasadena.
Starting point is 00:40:55 I guess we're going to have a couple of musical interludes this evening. By the way, tomorrow during Friday on the front porch, as we come to the close of it, probably about the last half hour of Friday on the front porch, we'll probably be following the return to Earth of Artemis II. It is due to splash down somewhere off San Diego. Wonder which carrier is going to go pick them up. It used to be the SOP.
Starting point is 00:41:26 We'd send one of our aircraft carriers to pick up, splash-down capsules. Do we have any? Well, not really, do we? I mean, the Ford, the Lincoln. Remember, it was the Lincoln, wasn't it, that, that Dim Leader used for his stage prop for his mission accomplished failed PR stunt
Starting point is 00:41:59 I don't know but they'll splash down at about 8.07 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time 5.07 p.m. Pacific Daylight time off the coast near San Diego and the cool little fact that I learned as Artemis re-enters, the atmosphere around the vehicle will reach temperatures about half the temperature of the surface of the sun. And fighter jets with test pilots aboard will be racing along trying to capture data as to how the heat shield's holding. up because one of the things they learned with the Artemis 1 launch was that the heat shield cracked.
Starting point is 00:42:53 You really don't want to have that happen in an environment that's half the temperature of the surface of the sun. The fact that we can manufacture something that will withstand that is pretty freaking amazing. But no, from Iranian AI to... to back here at home. Well, here's a new song from the Jack Nicholson band that really does sort of capture the moment. By the door on a rusty old nail. A symbol of pride in a small town town town.
Starting point is 00:43:52 I wore it through fields, through rallies. Did you turn? But now it just carries a shadow of shame. So I'm burning. Watchin' Did you turn in your red hat? Well, there's an anthem for the people walking away from nitwit Nero now. Okay, this one's for billable, Rick.
Starting point is 00:44:43 The reentry of Artemis II, Splashdown, given the shortage of U.S. aircraft carriers in the Pacific, I understand that NASA is planning to land Artemis 2 as close to the shore in San Diego as possible so that the astronauts can swim ashore. As long as nitwit Niro is not there, at least maybe Christina Koch can feel safe as well as Captain Glover. Oh, I heard something mentioned. I think we talked about this the other night that, yeah, nitwit Nero. and I forget who's real I saw that but this individual said
Starting point is 00:45:27 I think he's not long for this world he went to he went to Grace Land and it had a kind of a make a wish feel about it of course Elvis would have been big when nitwit Niro was an adolescent and they let him sign a guitar
Starting point is 00:45:46 probably got thousands of them but even his signature he had a hard time signing the guitar and even his signature didn't have that usual clan hoods at a rally panache. What interesting times we find ourselves living in. These are very creative times, you know. Well, true, Cynthia in the Bay Area saying, The lying bitch!
Starting point is 00:46:23 Sorry, but I wouldn't believe anything malaria says. and asked, should I be chilling that bottle of champagne? Well, I mean, do you have a basement or a cellar, Cynthia? Because cellar temperature is about 54 degrees Fahrenheit. But if you've got room in the fridge, just kind of keep it, you know, don't, not vertical, kind of keep it laid down,
Starting point is 00:46:52 keep the cork moist, you know. And you should be able to have it on hand in the event that the Blessed Day arrives. Jeremy pointing out, Nitwit Nero, glitched when talking to the crew of Artemis a few days ago. I didn't see that as a glitch so much as a refusal of the crew to speak to him, because if you saw the video, I talked about it on the program, they just let the mic hang there floating in zero-g and kind of, you want it?
Starting point is 00:47:25 Do you want it? No? No. Oh, dear. Deacon Asa, the Camel Cardinal, regarding Billable Rick and swim to shore. Not the case at all, Billable. NASA has agreed to have them picked out of the suit by Jeff Bezos's throbbing 450-foot dick yacht. Ah!
Starting point is 00:47:48 Well, they could also maybe use Larry Ellison's Musashi, you know, the one named after a Japanese battle ship that tried to kill Americans from Sylvie. Y'all are good tonight. Y'all always are. Astronauts in danger. Swimming ashore, for God's sake, don't let ice know. It'll be impossible to debrief them in El Salvador. Oh, I got just the thing for you,
Starting point is 00:48:28 Cynthia. This is from Joe Moteril. with the hashtag, what would John Prime do, a song for ice? And in particular, the guy who murdered, uh,
Starting point is 00:48:44 yeah, a mom of three and is good. Here we go. When he found a chance for a domestic tour, he thought he would re-enlist. He saw a 37-year-old mother of three, and he shot her in the face in her SUV. And by way of explanation said,
Starting point is 00:49:04 what a fucking big. He's a bonafide, country wife. He snatches us inside our homes and offices. He fell after me like Guadonimo and Abu Grave. He got used to putting people into unmarked graves and the question why unpatriotic slander. Now this old bald eagle is gone blind too and he can't see his chickens coming home to roost.
Starting point is 00:49:44 What's good for the goose? It's good for the propaganda. Yes, he's a bona fide countrywide, and he keeps us safe, watches us inside our homes and offices. So if you see a masked and marauding man who's chiseled and tall and perfectly tan, well, you can bow your head and you can clap your hands, and you can praise the Lord we've got them, because if your neighbor squeals and your grandma gripes and your dad and sister show their stripes, well, you can rest easy tonight. Because he won't stop until he's shot him.
Starting point is 00:50:31 He's a bona fides. Think it with me, country-wide. That's right. He's a genuine America's safe and snatches us inside our homes and offices. He's a genuine... We missed the very beginning. Now, here are the opening lines. Well, we taught him how to kill on the streets of Iraq,
Starting point is 00:51:02 and he'd been missing that job since he came back, so when he found a chance for a domestic tour, He thought he would re-enlist. He saw a 37-year-old. Yeah, that's just, I just wanted to make sure we got the front end, too. Cynthia says few houses around here have basements, and I have a cement slab foundation, but indeed, we'll put that bottle on its side in the fridge, ready to go.
Starting point is 00:51:28 Yes. Now, Leah in New York says it could be the USS Abraham Lincoln. Oops, old article. Okay, USS N. Nimitz maybe? Well, we'll find out tomorrow evening. After 10 days in space, I just hope we have an aircraft carrier that has, you know, flushable toilets. And this article is from, wow, 2024. It's a mess. Like I said, interesting evening. And from RELPS, and by the way, just a reminder. We're into the second hour of the program.
Starting point is 00:52:14 We are at $1,740 in the hole. If we could get something rolling and maybe knock down the second day of the second day of April. That would be $240. It sure would be helpful. But from Ralph's and the onion,
Starting point is 00:52:35 oh my God. Swollen RFK Jr. warns Americans not eating enough bees. Kennedy vows to end war on stinging insects diets. Got it. Oh, yeah. After manually prying his eyelids open to read from a report he had prepared on the matter, a badly swollen, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gave a speech Tuesday in which he warned that Americans were not eating enough bees.
Starting point is 00:53:04 In our survey of American dietary habits, we were alarmed to find that the vast majority of respondents reported eating fewer than two. two bees in an average day, said the wheezing health and human services secretary, who stopped speaking for several seconds to reposition his grossly distended tongue in his mouth before suggesting that breakfast cereals could be fortified with live bees. To help address bee deficiency in the broader population, the human body needs wing nutrients antennae, and especially stinger venom in order to function properly.
Starting point is 00:53:46 But processed foods have many of these essential. B components stripped out if they were even there to begin with powdered bumblebee supplements can help in situations where live bees are hard to come by though I personally believe Americans should be chomping into a loudly
Starting point is 00:54:03 buzzing beehive every morning with breakfast. In fact, I urged President Trump to sign an executive order providing American children with a fresh carton of bees in their school lunch so they can get all the histamines of growing body needs. Kennedy later returned to the podium with quills sticking out of his face to add that Americans also weren't eating enough porcupines.
Starting point is 00:54:27 God love the onion. Thank you, Ralphs. That's delightful. But then there's some actual real live, no kidding. Whalehead, dead bear, brainworm, lamprey news today from the Department of Oops. Yeah, Robin, stop being stingy with the bees. Okay, Emilio. By the way, Lee in New York said,
Starting point is 00:55:01 Letting the mic hang there, you did not expect a mic drop. No, it was a mic float. Hard to do that in space. Mike drop. Oh, wild. As to Orion. Miss Micah said, Orion's return trajectory plan for Artemis 2
Starting point is 00:55:25 was altered after the heat shield and Artemis 1 experienced unexpected char and material losses during atmospheric reentry. Now, rather than hitting the atmosphere head on, well, thanks for the plug there, Micah. Orion will perform what's called a lofted re-entry dipping down into the atmosphere briefly before delving back down for its final descent
Starting point is 00:55:48 similar to a stone skipping once across a pond before sinking beneath the water. Let's just hope it doesn't sink. beneath the water, please. We need this thing to be a complete and total success. But, no, really, from the Department of, whoops. I've mentioned, Jeremy, you and Billable and Emilio play nicely amongst yourselves, okay?
Starting point is 00:56:20 Now, I've mentioned in the past that whalehead dead bear brainworm lamprey essentially tormented his second wife. into suicide it's repulsive because he's a monster well there's a new book coming out a book by isabel vincent it's called r fk junior the fall and rise isabel vincent is an investigative journalist and back in uh 2013 she was at uh an Upper East Side Manhattan restaurant when she found a plastic shopping bag containing several diaries on her chair. It had been almost a year gone by
Starting point is 00:57:22 since Mary Richards and Kennedy, an architecture, an architect by training, had hanged herself in the barn of the family home there in Bedford, New York. And what was in that plastic bag were several diaries spanning 1999 to 2001, given to her by a trusted source who knew the family well. They were, in fact,
Starting point is 00:57:53 whalehead, dead bear, brainworm lampreys, diaries, yeah, over that period of time. And in it, he writes about his how much he missed his father I knew daddy was watching me and that he loved me but I also felt I was disappointing him yeah I'd guess that heroin bust would be disappointing Bobby yeah
Starting point is 00:58:20 he writes about his heroin addiction and then what he describes in the journal as his lust demons and then because he's a creep and a monster and he went on to list the people he'd had sex with with a rating system from 1 to 10 with 10 meaning that he had fucked the individual. Mary Richards and Kennedy ran across the journals
Starting point is 00:58:57 and took them and gave them to that trusted family friend saying, use these when it becomes necessary. Well, one gets the idea that Isabel Vincent is a day late in a diary short. Again, she got hold of these things in 2013 and said not shit about them for 13 years. But now there's a chance to cash in now that whalehead. dead bear brain worm lamprey has inserted himself into the american body politic over at the department of health and human services where he's doing everything in his power to bring on the next
Starting point is 00:59:57 pandemic yeah isabel vincent says people don't really know who this man is and it's excerpted in people magazine. Isabel Vincent said she called Whalehead Dead Bear Brain Worm Lamprey in 2013. I think it was September 2013, she said, and I told him I've seen your diaries, and I wanted to ask you about these women, and there was silence on the phone. He said, you can't possibly have seen them. And I said, I did. He said, I'm going to call my lawyer.
Starting point is 01:00:32 And nothing ever happened after that. As recently as 2023 on Vlad T. he said he was journaling like that was my own way of trying to live and examine life isabel vincent says he definitely gaslit her and told her she was crazy and that her accusations about other women were fantasies she said that she knew that mary richards and Kennedy had read the diaries in many ways she said she was trying to reassure herself that he had been married that she had been married to a chronic philanderer for nearly 20 years, but she tried desperately to hang on to her marriage,
Starting point is 01:01:22 but she couldn't keep up with his fling with Cheryl Hines. She was found dead, aged 52 years old, on May 16, 2012. She interviewed a number of people close to Whalehead, Dead Bear Brain, Worm, Lamprey, and said, people told me she was the love of his life, the diaries help me get into his head and Mary still occupies a very important part of his life even though she's dead yeah I mean it's worth remembering
Starting point is 01:01:59 that the whole concocted story about the brainworm came from a hearing in which she was trying in which Mary Richardson Kennedy was trying to get him to fulfill his financial obligations to her and he under oath said, well, my earning capacity is significantly diminished
Starting point is 01:02:28 because I had this worm get into my brain and it ate part of my brain. And so everybody went, ah, give me Bobby Kennedy has a brainworm. And sort of blew right past the fact that he used that to defraud his wife and make her financially desperate, eventually driving her to hang herself. Motherfucker.
Starting point is 01:02:55 And I suppose this is as good as time as any to mention something. I've told the story many times about how aboard the Libboat Cruise, whalehead, dead bear brainworm lamprey, reached over and onto my plate and said, Could I try some of that veal I really wanted to order it? But the animal rights people would have had my ass if it got out. I said, you know, what do you do?
Starting point is 01:03:25 Yeah, sure. Get a bite. Oh, that's delicious. Well, long ago, I told this story a long time ago. And I told it one time when a dear, dear friend, Carol Baker, was on the air with me. And she said, you know, I had something similar happen. and she talked about being a girl's state delegate from Iwoeja, and how at the fancy dinner at the end of it,
Starting point is 01:04:03 Tuckles Grassley had reached over and eaten off of her plate. So we had that in common, Carol and I, having creepy old men eat off our plates. Well, I received word today that Carol Baker passed away about a month ago. And, oh, it struck me like a physical blow. Carol hadn't, we hadn't talked in quite some time. She had stepped away from a lot of the things in her life because she adopted and took on the raising of a,
Starting point is 01:04:47 little boy and was absolutely devoted to making sure he got a good a good bringing up but i'd been i had been i'd been thinking of her yeah no read the book about we're not going to no there's nothing art bell about it's just i think about i think about the members of this community and my goodness gracious carroll and i had a magnificent oh we had some we had some hellaciously good conversations talking about and this was back when I still smoked cigarettes talking about hanging out on the ledge
Starting point is 01:05:31 and flipping cigarettes at the red hat the cigarette butts at the red hat red hats below so many just golden moments on the program with Carol and so yeah I
Starting point is 01:05:50 received a message earlier today telling me that she was gone and you know god damn it she wasn't much older than i at one point in time she wrote a blog called opinionated bitch and oh she she wrote like an avenging angel
Starting point is 01:06:11 and of course i i miss her now more than i did before because like i said in thinking about her i was like you know i need to reach out and figure out a way to bring carroll on for a conversational that's not going to happen now so you know i guess there's a uh a takeaway to this and that is i i you you may not even you may not even realize it but i think about the people who have formed this community i think about them often and it's and and and most often those from whom i know longer here. And I wonder sometimes is it, you know, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, is it, was it something I said? Or is it just the overall, this overall, the thing that I've identified over the course of almost 23 years where people find the horn when they need the horn and then they go away when they don't.
Starting point is 01:07:24 Something happens here. Community conversation. and then maybe a change comes in their life and it's not as important anymore or necessary. And that's okay. But if you're still listening and you haven't reached out in a while, let me know you're there
Starting point is 01:07:52 because whether you realize it or not, I'm thinking about you. And odds are this community is. thinking about you. I message frequently with Brother Deacon Asa because you know, Brother Deacon does a lot of deep
Starting point is 01:08:11 dives into the archives and pulls up things from one two decades ago to play on the rerun stream and every now and then I'll get a message running and say, geez, I played this and
Starting point is 01:08:27 I sure do miss fill in the blank and I'll see Yeah, me too Because that list has become too long Now I go back to the great purity wars of 2016 And the people who had been Regular
Starting point is 01:08:48 And you know, Malloy and I have talked about this How people just Because of those self-same purity wars Just disappeared And that happened with several people I really cared about it. here but do do know that you are thought about you are cared about and if you hear this and you just want to make sure that I know that you're still out there shoot me a
Starting point is 01:09:18 note okay god lover she was a force of nature yeah Emilio says Carol Baker was excellent yeah she was and Tom in sunny San Rafael says I was just thinking about Carol Baker the other day. I know. Isn't it wild? And Tom, you know, you've been a member of the community as long or longer than almost anyone here, and you know what I mean when I say, you know, you don't hear names and then, yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:54 Thanks, thanks for the note, Tom. From Jude, from Jude, my deepest condolence is Robin Deer in hearing of the death of your good friend Carol Baker, tender hug, sent. Thank you. Thank you, Jude. And from Tamara, oh, I'm so sorry to hear about Sister Carol Baker.
Starting point is 01:10:18 I remember her well. Smoking on the back porch with the smoking angels, I'm sure she is. Broken heart emoji. Thank you, Tamara. Because that's the thing I've always said about this community. I don't make it.
Starting point is 01:10:35 y'all do it's the it's the gathering together of people and our energies from literally all over the world I think about the people who used to tune in it whatever the hell time it what it is
Starting point is 01:10:53 in Australia and made you a point of being there I think we we may still have someone listening from Vietnam and we used to have listeners in Japan
Starting point is 01:11:06 I mean, it's moving and it's humbling to be able to reach out and talk to and communicate with and establish a connection with someone at such profound distances. Thank you, Ralphs. Ralph said a moment ago, I'm contributing $25 for the RFK Jr. Onion Story and for the CDC saying that the COVID vaccine helps people recover from COVID-19 and regular colds. Good reminder to go and see if you can get one. I need to do that. Hopefully it's not as hard as it was when I was trying to get one at the end of the year as winter came on. Thank you, Ralphs. Thank you so much. So that gets us down to 1715, 1715 to get caught up.
Starting point is 01:12:09 As far as checking in, Tom says, on that subject, what about Albert? Wisconsin. Albert's still there. He's still being sagey. I'll run across him on Instagram or Facebook, some form of social media from time to time. He's just
Starting point is 01:12:30 he's working his ass off to stay afloat. Yeah, that's another one. The other night the Camel Cardinal mentioned a dear friend of the program
Starting point is 01:12:51 who actually called to say I'm not going to be here much longer from East Tennessee and I will I will no doubt find out more about what happened
Starting point is 01:13:12 I know a little bit but I'd like to find out firsthand if it all humanly possible and Flavio with a note about Isabel Vincent and her bio of whalehead, dead bear, brainworm, lamprey. Flavio says, Isabel Vincent's delay of 13 years.
Starting point is 01:13:42 See, that's why I despise Bob Woodward. He sat on his books, too. And, well, you can add hard-hitting CNN telejournalist, Jake Tapper, to that list as well. From Billable Rick. Carol Baker, I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of Carol. I remember many times when she joined the group on the front porch and heard her on a rerun a few weeks ago. I hope that Sister Carol is comfortably resting in a bark-a-langer on the front porch of her house,
Starting point is 01:14:12 overlooking the Ballerina Swan Lake Trailer Park and Country Club somewhere in the Great Beyond. Yeah, still make reference to the Ballerina Swan Lake trailer park and country club on Titanic Tuesday at Al. Well, that was a Carol Baker special. absolutely billable Flavio says I was thinking about driving her line and now I'll never get to do it damn it
Starting point is 01:14:39 my deepest condolences I think we'll all miss her yeah yeah I get your other point as well Flavio and that probably was a factor of some sort
Starting point is 01:14:57 it's almost impossible for it not to be and here we are Emilio pointing out yeah brother Albert Sandra Lawrence we have put together a cast of characters over the years unmatched because it wasn't scripted it was real and it is real
Starting point is 01:15:20 and it still happens so many names and of course Mr. Stress and Scott always Scott but all that being said let's run over to the stress line and check in Hey, welcome to the program. We live free, free, free, rent-free in your head. What, Jeremy?
Starting point is 01:15:47 Hello. Yeah, what? She said we live rent-free in your head. Yeah, you do. You absolutely do. I'm starting to hear about Carol. I remember listening to her many nights and actually talk on the back porch. It's unfortunate.
Starting point is 01:16:02 She was still fairly young. She's not much older than you or hearing me. So, I mean, it's still fairly young in my book. No, she's not. She was a couple of years older than me. Rest assured, she's fine. Energy can more be created or destroyed. Her essence is changing.
Starting point is 01:16:18 She's something else that she's still out there somewhere. Trust me. But since we're already down the dumps and feeling bad about that, I will tell you, told you a couple weeks ago, it was last week. I thought this medical company I'm dealing with. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:33 And I keep saying any of the prior authorization. I talked to someone last week, and, oh, yeah, we'll do it. blah blah blah. One two at all. So today I'm like, fuck it. I'm going to call my insurance company and see if anyone has requested
Starting point is 01:16:45 prior authorization. You can guess what their answer was. The first two answers do not count. At that point, I came on screw, Robin. I let off a stream of foul words almost yelling at this person
Starting point is 01:17:02 ending with, I paid $1,356 a fucking month. What the fuck is going on with you people? So I had to apologize after. I told the guy, this isn't about you. I'm not mad of you. I'm enraged by this system. So, anyway, we're going to see if it works out.
Starting point is 01:17:19 I see my undercollege tomorrow. I'm going to give them hell too the kind of the way I can. But I'm in a breaking point with this whole idea. This is the fourth round now. It's half splash when I told you about it. But now I'm going to try to build you back up. Now that we're down there we're building you back up. So two days ago, I had my first hold off me.
Starting point is 01:17:36 Every human error will have one eventually. It was good. The good news is in the end. A couple doctors came out with tears in their eyes and said, sir, I've never seen a clean a colon before. So I am good. They did remove a couple polyps. They tested them.
Starting point is 01:17:51 They're benign. So I'm good for three to ten years. That was great news. By the way, I heard what you did. I heard what you did there. The good news in the end. Come on. What's that.
Starting point is 01:18:07 Doctors come over tears in the eyes saying, sir, it's the queen's cold, whatever, come on. I'm trying to make people laugh. I know. I know.
Starting point is 01:18:13 Yeah. The better news is that I went for, my first eye appointment in six years yesterday. I have not had one since, no, five years. It's 2020. No,
Starting point is 01:18:25 it was 2019 until I saw my chart last night. Right about COVID, I stopped going to the doctor personally and kind of feared going back because as I'm getting older, my vision has changed. Everything's just a little bit off. my, I've always been
Starting point is 01:18:39 ferocated, that's still pretty good, but up close I cannot read small print and I have a hard time reading anything else I'm right next to it. So I was terrified. I had complications. Retinal failure, or, you know, something like that from blood pressure and stuff. I went in yesterday, and they built this new stuff, they didn't have to dial me at all, which is great.
Starting point is 01:18:55 They use a little puffer thing and turn your eye. It's almost like a little, almost like a thermometer. It can read your temperature with it. Pump it at your eye. It doesn't pump it. It's almost like to get a snake's tongue on it. That makes me sense. It flicks your eyes.
Starting point is 01:19:06 You can take a pressure just by barely touching. Doesn't hurt. Doesn't make you like nothing. So that was great. Went through all that. They scan your eye. You put your eyes on a special camera, and they can take a picture of your whole lens in a second.
Starting point is 01:19:18 So they did that. In about 20 minutes later, the doctor came out and got me and broke them up on his screen. And I looked down below and we kind of chuckled. I said, I see you have a gaming computer. He says, yes. He says, because because because of the graphics power of a gaming computer, it would take minutes for these pictures to come up
Starting point is 01:19:34 without the processing power. So it's just cheaper. have a game you could do so we'll kind of laugh about it. Well, anyway, got those pictures up, looked all around my eye, and he said,
Starting point is 01:19:43 we'll get back to those layers. I'm like, oh, God, the bad news is coming. So we go through all that, he does all the tests. In the end, he said, you need bifocals. He said, you don't need them
Starting point is 01:19:52 for everyday life, but they'll make their life easier. He said, I suggest you get ones that don't have lines in them. But anyway, then he pulled up my eyeball. And this is amazing to me because I am far from perfect
Starting point is 01:20:02 when it comes to self-care. Far from it. I will never say I'm the greatest person or someone to follow what I've done. I've pushed the limit quite a few times, I do believe. And he looked at my eye well and said, you have a perfectly healthy eyeball for someone your age. He said, based on your eyeball alone,
Starting point is 01:20:19 I would not be to tell you're a diabetic. That was amazing news to me. That made my day. And he said, I can prove it, and he pulled up pictures of someone who has retinal problems, and said, this is an unhealthy diabetic eye, completely different image. He said, yours is perfectly healthy.
Starting point is 01:20:34 So that was a great uplifting thing. The last funny thing that happened last night was to celebrate, I got myself an unhealthy sub by Door Dash. And I got it around a 7.40 my time, and I'm going to do here where I am right now about 830. I can take the next building head there. Around 8.30, it kept saying, your sub is being picked up,
Starting point is 01:20:56 and the time when it was going to be delivered, we're picked up later and later in land, the point where it came to the after nine. So I went into the app, and I can see the driver picking up myself their car had not moved in over an hour, so I assume they broke down, so it sucks for them.
Starting point is 01:21:12 But it never, they never cued me out. So I called up, start with that, about a half mile from here, said, listen, I have a Doordash delivery, it hasn't moved in an hour, can I just pick it up? I did. Well, evidently, DoorDash is its own enmity.
Starting point is 01:21:29 They take care of all the charges, so they already paid to the sub for them. So I'm like, okay. I paid out of my credit card. Went to my next building and I ate it. About 40 minutes later, I got a notification from the door and I said, we cannot fulfill your order.
Starting point is 01:21:43 We cannot make it to you. We're giving you a full refund. I picked up the sum. I mean, the transaction was complete, but on their end, they thought it wasn't. So I got a free sub out of it. So yesterday was overall a pretty good day. I was going to share this all tomorrow night,
Starting point is 01:21:59 but I felt after a little bit of a downer story, maybe probably probably something good news, a couple funny stories. Absolutely. I'm happy for your good news. And maybe this is the modern day maybe we need to do a reboot
Starting point is 01:22:12 of all the cards in the Monopoly deck and this is the DoorDash error in your favor. Collect 25 bucks. And I'll say it and I'll say it again. I realize with all my little medical problems and I've got quite a few, I still
Starting point is 01:22:30 get it better and I'd say probably 99% of this roll. has it. Just being where I live. It's shitty here and things seem horrible, but we're still living better than most of the rest of the world, regardless of our administration. Never forget that. I hate them with a passion, and they're doing horrible things to people, but we still have it better than most of the rest of the developed world, most of it. Yeah. But, yeah, I agree, but, uh, one, if, if, if, if, if, if, if shit keeps up
Starting point is 01:23:03 this way, we won't be. I know we won't be, I know, because And they're, you know, they're a I'm not trying to take the starch out of your good fun, and I agree with your, I agree with you in principle, but there are forces at work inside the government and inside the law that have already established that state governments in this country
Starting point is 01:23:30 can decide which, which maladies, which conditions are worthy of treatment and which are not. I have to agree with you, unfortunately. I'm witness to it, and I'm one of those people they don't know about. So, on one way, I could say things are fine. I know they're really not. So I agree with you.
Starting point is 01:23:51 You have my sympathy. Don't worry. It's never not been that. Yeah. I mean, I feel for the whole group, but I mean, I'm in rage when I still see, when I still see stories. I mean, the other day, my local news decided to make it a decision. that was good news to spread that the administration had taken away protection in certain schools
Starting point is 01:24:10 for kids that grew up like us. And I saw a ton of thumbs up, like, love. And I just wrote simply, whoever liked or loved this post says a lot about your character. And that brought out all the creeps, all of them. Oh, good. Kids will go back to being normal now. We're just trying to protect our... Oh, I feel it too, Robin. I hear it and I see it. It hurts me, but I try to.
Starting point is 01:24:35 not to absorb it. I really try not to. It's hard not to. No, it does. It is. It's hard not to, yes. Even though I'm somewhat still secretive, I feel tired of it. I know. In some ways, in some ways, the
Starting point is 01:24:52 being hidden, for lack of a better term, makes it harder. I mean, I remember doing stories, way back. And I was always sympathetic
Starting point is 01:25:08 to, you know, when the first stupid bathroom bill came up in North Carolina, it was outrageous. And, you know, you don't have to be a member of an affected community to be outraged by it. Well, I'll go to
Starting point is 01:25:24 the grave saying that in the before times, I could hear something that guy, Bob's voice, that told me there's something here. There's something that's not being acknowledged public. I knew it. I'm sure other people
Starting point is 01:25:36 White House knew it, but we can hear the raise other people's voice. We can see it. Most of the public cannot unless they're going through it. But if they knew what it was, they'd know why you're so mad all the time.
Starting point is 01:25:46 They'd understand. And, you know. I am there 100%. And add fear into the bargain. I'm worried as hell about you. You know, you did. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:01 My help is okay. I'm going to tell you, I'm going to say, I'm sorry. I've still got my pump. I'm doing something right, like I said, 10 a half years down the road, my eyes are fine. I find that quite amazing. I have no complications, no nerve damage that I know. Other than a couple dead spots in my feet where my toes curl in because I'm flat footed.
Starting point is 01:26:19 Other than that, you wouldn't know what I'm diabetes. I'm doing okay. You know, I kind of worried myself a month or so ago. I think I brought it up on air how I, you know, because me, I stubbed my left middle toe badly when I was in Parker'sburg. And I went to the dock in a box using that insurance while I still got it. They x-rated and said, well, lucky you, it's not broken. Well, Jeremy, they blew the diagnosis.
Starting point is 01:27:00 I broke the out of that toe. But there's not a hell of a lot you can do with a broken toe, but part of the reason that I went, went ahead to the dock in a box, was because diabetic. And I don't want any parts of me lopped off. Thank you very much. They say for every,
Starting point is 01:27:20 something like every inch that they take off your body, you lose 25 years, no joke. Or it's five years for every inch to have to lop off. So if you lose your whole foot, you're looking at like 10, 15 years off your life right there, just because of the foot, just because life becomes harder, getting physical exercise becomes harder, staying in shape, all the things are complicated. That's what it is. And, you know, mowing and weed-eaten season is upon us, and I'm looking forward to getting out.
Starting point is 01:27:45 And that's one of the few electric device implements I have. I have an electric lawnmower and an electric weed eater. And I'm looking forward to getting out, and, you know, I won't be able to go wild like I used to, but. You know, 30 minutes, you know, 30 minutes, drink a Gatorade, cool off, go back out. I am. I'm really looking forward to it because cold weather and winter just makes it all so damn difficult, especially like, you know, two weeks of having the ground covered in, you know, six inches of ice. I was done with winter, Super Bowl night on my engine, went bad on my snowmobile.
Starting point is 01:28:32 referred to be not totally i'm not like you i am not a key person i do not like bugs i stay inside most of the summer i'm sheltered most of the year unfortunately i'd rather have if i can't but i'd rather have a decent like you let me feel yet at nighttime in the dark you know use my telescope or not breathing so yeah those are those were beautiful photos those are beautiful photos by the way that's astonishing how what kind of clarity you're doing well i should it's not me I have a special telescope. You call the P-star. You just go into the app on your phone or iPad
Starting point is 01:29:06 where you're using. You punch the one to look at and it just stares at that region of space. And make no mistake. It's there. We just can't see it because it's so faint. Right. But it does what a lot of scenery photographers do.
Starting point is 01:29:21 It stacks photographs. It takes a photo every 10 seconds or every 60 seconds depending what you want and stacks them. So it'll take 100, 200, photos over a course of an hour or so, and it becomes one image, and it just forms them. Yes, it's amazing. It's amazing technology. And, I mean, you said the other night, everything I've shot so far is at least 400 to 500 million
Starting point is 01:29:42 light years away, and that means the lights been traveling here since before the dinosaur existed. Our months of Earth's life existed. And that amazes me. It humbles me, too. Yeah. And knowing that, I know that no matter what they say, we cannot be the only intelligent life form of a desert.
Starting point is 01:29:59 Are they traveling here in little space? Probably not. But we're not alone. There's something else out there has to be. With all that bad space, there has to be. It's just impossible not to be. Yeah, yeah, there does. But, you know, you've got to get past E equals MC squared to build what you might call a pumpkin.
Starting point is 01:30:17 You know, because at the speed of light, everything turns into a pumpkin. And you've got to build a pumpkin-proof spacecraft. Right. And at the speed of light, if you're going at, you know, what speeds we can do, it's still a 60,000-year voyage to the next star. It's many, many generations to get there. And by the way, your brother juvenile delinquent in the Horn family community congregation, Brother Deacon Asa just had a message for you, Jeremy. And I hate it when I get drawn.
Starting point is 01:30:53 I hate it when I get drawn into this shit. Jeremy's eyeballs, tell Jeremy not to get his hopes up about his eyeballs. Doctors like to butter you up like that. It's like that hooker who swears, oh, yours is the biggest one I've ever had. You saw the same hooker, Atha? God, what's what went to that? Oh, my God. He just made an admission.
Starting point is 01:31:14 Holy shit. Don't make me pull this program over. You know I'll do it. I will. Well, you know, I'm not the person for vocal words, but that's funny. But anyway. So that's really all I had. I'm sorry about Carol Bric.
Starting point is 01:31:30 I enjoy her calls. I know there was many different reasons why she pulled away, let alone her child. But I'd enjoy what she said, what she did, and I do miss hearing her voice. I miss hearing lots of people's voice. People I won't even mention I miss hearing them because it's a different point of view.
Starting point is 01:31:47 I didn't agree with it. And despise their point of view. I like hearing it. Yeah, yeah. Oh, and by the way, I'm going to go ahead. Because our differences is what makes us stronger. Yeah, and I'm going to go ahead and throw this out there. I haven't heard from Todd since God was a baby, and I'm beginning to worry about him.
Starting point is 01:32:04 But, you know, people also have lives, and that's a part of it, too. Jeremy, you have... Maybe it's like me. Maybe he's going to have a whole fighting medical company. I don't know. Okay, you have a good night, Robin. You take care, Jeremy. Bye. Thank you, goodbye.
Starting point is 01:32:20 And I just got a message. I'm going to have to pop away for a moment or two. Brother Deacon, I'm going to need your backup recording. I just realized, but at least I'm giving you advance notice. Stand by, I'll be back in a couple of minutes. Country living, yeah. So, we have entered the third hour of the program. I'm sorry for the disappearance, but these things happened from time to time.
Starting point is 01:32:55 I wanted to share a note with you that came from Sylvie while I was talking with Jeremy. Touching noses. Having a terminal illness, I know that my sudden disappearance may be likely, which is why I always refer to the listeners and yourself, Roxanne, as my lovelies, treasures, delights, etc.,
Starting point is 01:33:15 because I know how important it is to let those who light my life know it and know that I'm living my best life. If I vanish before taco, I will be pissed as hell. But aside from that, I have zero regrets. If I do land in hell, You'd better believe I'm applying for pineapple delivery detail.
Starting point is 01:33:35 The goal in life is not to arrive all tidy and pristine. It's better to slide in sideways, disheveled, well-used up, saying, damn, what a ride! You can bet that when I go, you'll see the skid marks. Here, here, Sylvie, I really want you to enjoy that magnificent day when it comes. I really do because it's going to be a fantastic day. You know, we're past winter now,
Starting point is 01:34:08 so I had to fold up my bright red sweater dress and put it away. And so now we'll be going for the bright red spaghetti-strapped sundress. There will be a red dress on that great day, Sylvie. Maybe that should be a national thing. Everybody wear red on that great, on that great day. that great, great, great, great, great day. But we're far from done.
Starting point is 01:34:40 There's still, oh, God, there's so much. And a different kind, Dave and the Blind, ice that's bragging on the claim, they're six inches, I'd say more like an inch and a half or maybe two. Donnie grabs them by themselves because he's the president and they'll let him. Your buddy Dave in the Blind. By the way, Penelope is.
Starting point is 01:35:10 is putting online those brains of hers to gather together to figure stuff out for us, and she's putting all three of her hearts into it, too. So keep hanging in there, Carol. Yeah, absolutely. Penelope is a fine, fine, cephalopod, among the very best. No, what I mentioned earlier, twice in one week, really? I forget to hit the record button. Ah, Brother Deacon, sorry about that.
Starting point is 01:35:40 that's one more thing you don't need to deal with but thank goodness gracious you've got the backup no like i said more to yeah more yet to do and we we are at uh 1715 215 bucks and we are done with last thursday april the second 215 if we could just stay one week behind that would be and kind of keep steady at that. Yeah, we'd have a fighting chance. This is a 30-day month, of course. But, yeah, 2.15 to finish fundraising for last Thursday. We've been talking about it for a while that the maggots seem to be, well, falling apart, cracking up.
Starting point is 01:36:36 Yeah. Because they are. and someone has noticed. Yeah. Earlier today, nitwit Nero jumped on tripe social because he's, you know, he started a war that he doesn't know how to end. Shit's falling apart all around him,
Starting point is 01:37:00 and he can't figure any of it out. And so having been, having been pilloried, recently he he needs to lash out at somebody and frankly I worry about these people I don't wish death on people
Starting point is 01:37:23 but remember our most puissant dred sovereign supreme Catholic majesty said in the summer of 2024 that he can murder somebody and nobody will lift a finger because he
Starting point is 01:37:41 he's immune for official ex. But I officially needed to do it. So this is what we got earlier today via a demented old man who's turned loose. Don't we all have somebody like that in our lives? Somebody who's older even than I am. Elder boomers who really shouldn't be on social media anymore, but are yeah
Starting point is 01:38:13 well nitwit Nero tripped earlier today I know why Tucker Carlson Megan Kelly Candice Owens and Alex Jones have been fighting me for years they haven't been they haven't been
Starting point is 01:38:27 you god damn it you geriatrics patient you memory care patient they've been fighting me for years especially by the fact that they think especially by the fact it is
Starting point is 01:38:44 linguistic chaos is breaking out all over the white house think back to the beginning of the program and melanoma saying what was that convinced of instead of convicted of yeah and she was reading it off of a piece of paper
Starting point is 01:39:04 and it still came out convinced instead of convicted damn that Damn this thing. I know what Tucker Carlson, Megan Kelly, Candice Owens, and Alex Jones have all been fighting me for years, especially by the fact that they think it is wonderful for Iran, the number one state sponsor of terror, to have a nuclear weapon because they have one thing in common,
Starting point is 01:39:29 low IQs. They're stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it too. Look at your past, look at their record, they don't have what it takes, And they never did. You know what stupid people do? They call people who disagree with them.
Starting point is 01:39:52 Stupid. Stupid orange man says what? What? But, well, he, yeah. This is how he spends his days. There's nothing left. Do you ever notice that Joe Biden didn't do this? Did you ever notice that Barack Obama didn't do that?
Starting point is 01:40:13 I mean, Twitter was in existence for the Obama administration. They used it to get information out. Biden administration did too. But this constant trolling. And so the hardcore cancerous, dead-ender, tumorous knot of people who are still with him said, well, one of them, some maggot named Tiffany Verilli, really, virile Tiffany,
Starting point is 01:40:43 of Trump Media and Technology Group Corp. You know, the name like Tiffany... Wait, is that Tiffany? No, couldn't possibly be. Virile Tiffany said, Oliver Lang must be exposed. Call them all out. Go, go, go.
Starting point is 01:41:03 God bless President and Mrs. Trump. We the people love you both so much, amen. Another maggot said, They're scum, grifters, traitors, we stand with President Trump. Meanwhile, trolling right back, Martina Navratilova said, this is a big fissure in the Trump camp. Another said absolutely insane. When will the Republican Dormat Congress find their courage?
Starting point is 01:41:32 Dude! That was Fred Wellman, a Democratic congressional candidate in an army veteran. This isn't you're a congressional candidate, and you don't understand if the minority has no power? Maybe if you get elected, and can add to the, can throw the Republicans out, well, then things can happen.
Starting point is 01:41:55 Dean Blundell, whom Routts made me aware of, the Canadian radio personality and political blogger, said, I don't have any friends left. Yeah, he is. He's running out.
Starting point is 01:42:12 But it's eating what is left of the thin gray his settling that sloshes around between his ears and passes for brains. I got to confess, gee, I hope it doesn't hurt too little. But see, it's not just testicle toasting tuccio rose. It's not just our little nut, Megan, of course, Santa Claus is white Kelly. it's not just Alex Jones and his frogs that are being transed by the water. No, there's some pretty serious players who are more than a little upset by Canckels Caligula. An article in Politico reported that various and sundry executives from,
Starting point is 01:43:11 America's fossil fool industry are not in a good frame of mind. And Politico says they're reaching out to the White House Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President J.D. Vance to protest allowing Iran to charge tolls through the Strait of Hormuz as a condition of peace talks. The global oil industry
Starting point is 01:43:34 is absolutely horrified. The Politico's story says, oil industry representatives met with senior administration staff in the State Department on Wednesday morning to raise concerns. Among their points, conceding to Iran's request would add two points. Ooh, that's a lot of, hmm. You can build a lot of shallets in Stod with this kind of money. Would add $2.5 million to each shipment in tolls and higher insurance rates,
Starting point is 01:44:05 a cost that would be passed on to consumers. Of course. Giving Iran control of Hormuz could set precedent for countries like Singapore, and Turkey to charge tolls on important trade routes on the Strait of Malacca and Bosporus, and paying the toll could put companies in legal jeopardy for violating sanctions on Iranian officials. One individual said, We didn't have to do that before, and I thought we won. Any place you have access to the administration, you ask,
Starting point is 01:44:36 What are you guys thinking? What in the wide, wide world of sports is going on? Somebody go back and get... Somebody go back and get a shitload of dimes. Those poor, poor oil executives. Rex Tillerson happily retired from Exxon now with a just a whopping, whopping big old portfolio. Son of a bitch, I used to be Secretary of State.
Starting point is 01:45:06 Now this shit happened until I got fired. By a man who sells meat through the mail. God bless you, John Goodman. Bless you, sir. And it's hard to feel sorry for them, though, because they're just going to stick it to us at the pump. Here in the hills and hollers, we've passed that $4 a gallon mark.
Starting point is 01:45:34 Well, I don't... These are some of your more dedicated maggots around here, you know, low-information voters and whatnot. Joe Biden! But speaking of the oil industry, there's always climate change to talk. about environmental degradation. Here's a fuzzie.
Starting point is 01:45:57 While we've been talking about the war in Iran, the maggot administration has been at war with America. We know that. I mean, but in particular on the environmental front. Let's see. The boundary
Starting point is 01:46:12 waters, most of us know what the boundary waters are, right? One of the most visited, if not the most visited, national wilderness areas. The boundary waters are up on the Minnesota Northwoods on what? The Big Lake?
Starting point is 01:46:34 The boundary waters between Canada and the United States. Well, the maggot administration wants to open that up. Wait for it. To copper mining. Well,
Starting point is 01:46:55 Given the problems getting oil through the Straits of Hormuz, it's going to be a little bit difficult to smelt copper because you need some, oh, you need some sulfuric acid to do that. And in order to make sulfur acid, you've got to have sulfur. And the sulfur comes from the oil. Low sulfur diesel. Anybody ever heard of that? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:47:17 So there's that. And they want to accept the, they don't want to exclude the Gulf of Mexico from, from environmental concerns, and that'll, we talked about that, that'll wipe out some whales, you know, to extinction levels, right? Huh. On and on and on. One right after another. Bears' ears, Grand Staircase Escalante. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:47:52 It's, well, we, we, we. We look at what's right in front of our faces, and that affects our ability to see at a distance. And it's all over the country. There's another one I can't immediately bring to mind. But, yeah, the boundary waters, you have any idea what copper mining will do to life up there? For instance, the wild rice that grows naturally around the lakes, well iron mining in the iron range of northern Minnesota
Starting point is 01:48:35 took that out the food that grows on water and you know this idea of tolls at checkpoints goes back a long way you know you know one one civilization that sat right smack dab on one of those choke points uh-huh troy remember trojan war all that that. That may have been a resource war. Everything in the modern world can be found, or at least
Starting point is 01:49:09 has an analog in the ancient one. Sitting right there by the Bosporus. Ships that wanted to transit the Bosporus from the Aegean into the Black Sea would often have to anchor in Trojan waters and sometimes wait for weeks for the weather to clear so that they could get through that narrow strait carrying the essentials of life in the late bronze age and they didn't get to stay there for free can you imagine oil tankers just lined up in the Persian Gulf slowly going one at a time through the straits and having to pay tolls with literally a gun
Starting point is 01:50:07 a gun to their heads we need a lot of those I did that stickers for gas pumps he's losing on every front and it's eating him alive oh and by the way the Pakistani mediators of this
Starting point is 01:50:25 dispute well despite the fact that Psychobibi said that, oh, Lebanon wasn't in the ceasefire discussions, and the United States saying, yeah, what he said, well, the Pakistani mediator said it out loud, making abundantly clear that, yeah, not murdering innocent Lebanese people was indeed part of the deal. Let's see here. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:50:59 at the United Nations, the representative from Pakistan. Lebanon is a country of remarkable diversity shaped by layers of civilization and a rich cultural and historical legacy. Its people have long shown resilience in the face of adversity, preserving a vibrant social fabric rooted in coexistence among communities and traditions.
Starting point is 01:51:25 Lebanon needs a period of calm to pursue its objectives of peace and stability. The renewed escalation and hostilities are a matter of great concern. They threaten far more than infrastructure. They endanger civilian life and risk reversing the fragile political and security progress Lebanon had begun to make preceding the current crisis. In this context, allow me to make four points. First, Pakistan reiterates its full support for the sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of Lebanon.
Starting point is 01:51:55 We condemn in the strongest terms Israel's continued military, aggression in southern Lebanon, which has resulted in the death of more than 400 civilians, including at least 83 children and 42 women, and over 600,000 people displaced. Sweeping illegal evacuation orders across large parts of southern Lebanon have deepened civilian suffering. The large-scale destruction of civilian infrastructure and the blatant disregard for international humanitarian law must cease immediately. Second, the use of force must remain the exclusive prerogative of the Lebanese state through its legitimate institutions. In this regard, the Lebanese armed forces play a central role, and Pakistan supports efforts
Starting point is 01:52:39 to strengthen their capacity and operational effectiveness. Pakistan welcomes the efforts of the government of Lebanon to restore stability and strengthen state authority, including the cabinet decision of Second March to reinforce national security structures. We also note Lebanon's de-escalation initiatives, including the four-point plan advanced by its leadership to restore calm and stability. Third, Pakistan strongly condemns attacks on UN peacekeepers serving with UNIFIL, who have been injured in Israeli strikes. Peacekeepers operating under the UN flag carry out a vital mandate authorized by the Council.
Starting point is 01:53:17 Their safety and security must be guaranteed at all times. Fourth, Israeli military activities in southern Lebanon, including the continued presence of forces and the establishment of positions inside Lebanese territory are illegal and unacceptable. These Israeli actions, which are in contravention of international law, are also undermining the efforts of the government of Lebanon to ensure peace and stability in the country. We call for Israel's immediate, full and unconditional withdrawal from all occupied Lebanese territories. Sustainable calm requires the full implementation of Security Council Resolution 1701. and unwavering respect for Lebanon's sovereignty and territorial integrity along the blue line.
Starting point is 01:54:04 Mr. President, we echo the Secretary General's deep concern regarding the regional military escalation since 28th February, which has gravely undermined the November 2024 Secession of Hostilities Agreement. The situation in Lebanon cannot be viewed in isolation from this broader escalation across the Middle East. heightened confrontation and unjustified attacks on several brotherly countries which Pakistan has condemned have gravely aggravated regional security and stability. At this critical juncture, dialogue and diplomacy must prevail over confrontation. De-escalation, restraint and renewed diplomatic engagement are urgently required to prevent further deterioration of the regional security environment. Only through sustained political dialogue and respect for international law can the region move towards stability and peace. To conclude, Mr. President, Pakistan stands firmly with the government and people of Lebanon.
Starting point is 01:55:06 The international community must take urgent action to prevent further escalation, alleviate human suffering, and support Lebanon's efforts to restore peace and stability across its territory. I thank you very much. You know the saddest thing about all of that? Right now the rotating presidency of the UN Security Council is in the possession of the United States. And whichever maggot Chud was sitting there chairing the meeting, there was one shot of him, and he was kind of leaning over, squinting at a document, and chomping on a piece of gum like a, cow chewing its cud.
Starting point is 01:55:55 I thank the representative of Pakistan for his statement, I now give the floor to the representative of Colombia. Yeah. But at least we know it's clear. And the deal that was the ceasefire deal that was negotiated, Israel getting to murder women and children in Lebanon with impunity was not part of that, wasn't part of it. No.
Starting point is 01:56:25 No. And, you know, kudos to the ambassador from Pakistan for not saying that Israel murdered those women and those children. Murdered those civilians. Because, of course, they did.
Starting point is 01:56:43 But when he talked about civilian infrastructure, he also didn't say, you know, which are war crimes? Because we're trying to keep this thing from getting worse. I'm not going to have. ask how much worse it can get because it can get so much worse. Good God.
Starting point is 01:57:02 Oh, note from Matt in San Francisco. Hi, Matt. Broken toe. Maybe you can fit into those sleek shoes now. I'm trying, but I think I'd have to overlap two or three toes. But don't think for a minute that I'm not motivated. Oh, I'm motivated, all right. Oh, hey, Matt, this is a...
Starting point is 01:57:27 I thought of you earlier today. I saw a story coming out of San Francisco media. Are you familiar with a coffee chain called Phil's Coffee, P-H-I-L-Z? I guess they're catching a lot of hell and deservedly so. What kind of genius executive takes down the pride flags from your business in San Francisco? because apparently that's what Phil's did. You got any background on that, Matt? That just seemed...
Starting point is 01:58:02 Woo, that seems tone deaf. Especially for a city that recently, Matt sent this video along to me. Thousands and thousands and thousands of people showed up in a park in San Francisco for the... Hunky Jesus pageant. Oh, there was one Jesus that went straight to my heart. And he, oh, he was hunky. And his cross, he was sustainability, hunky Jesus,
Starting point is 01:58:31 because the cross that he was carrying had a turban on it, like a little pinwheel. Mm-hmm. And really not much clothing at all. Nope, that was a, that was definitely a silver lame budgie smuggler there. Mm-hmm. And from Tom in Sunny San Rafael, only for,
Starting point is 01:58:54 $4 a gallon. I'm sure it won't make you feel any better, but here in San Rafael, $6 a gallon is now a low price. I've seen it over $7 in a few spots. Glad I'm not commuting anymore. Oh, here, here. And what? There's one particular, I think it's a Chevron station in the greater Los Angeles area that always has the highest gas prices in the country. and they're past $10 a gallon now do they just have those pumps there so that they can get you know photographic PR for the most I don't know because it's not like over $10 everywhere but it's approaching it
Starting point is 01:59:39 and so that that particular gas station will probably show up with oh won't be long before we see $15 a gallon gas there. And as to the boundary waters, Aunt Lee in New York said, hasn't Potus tried to build a wall there to keep the people from Atlantis out? Atlanta, Alberta, potato, potato. Yeah. And people are still struggling, you know, to understand just what the fuck was going on.
Starting point is 02:00:20 I think we have the answer. but what the fuck was going on with melanoma and her little speechifying today I was not weaked him I was perpetrator oh and by the way a little bit ago when I mentioned changing the monopoly cards Miss Micah said
Starting point is 02:00:42 ooh horn monopoly I should get on that oh dear horn monopoly yeah let's check in with Nicole Wallace who was apparently gobsmacked by melanoma earlier. Hi there, everyone. It's 4 o'clock in New York.
Starting point is 02:00:58 It has been more than 40 days since we've led this broadcast with news about Donald Trump's ties to Jeffrey Epstein or, for that matter, the Trump administration's refusal to release the Epstein files with any alacrity or consideration for the victims of sexual abuse
Starting point is 02:01:13 and child sex trafficking. Melania Trump changed that today seemingly on purpose. She summoned the White House press pool and at 2.30 p.m. today, she said this. The lies linking me with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein need to end today. The individuals lying about me a devoid of ethical standards,
Starting point is 02:01:41 humility and respect. I do not object to their ignorance, but rather I reject their mean spirit, attempts to defame my reputation. I never been friends with Epstein. Donald and I were invited to the same parties as Epstein from time to time, since overlapping in social circles is common in New York City and Palm Beach. To be clear, I never had a relationship with Epstein,
Starting point is 02:02:22 or skip a bit sister and now Nicole Wallace with an absolutely bemused look on her face those things nothing about Melania Trump was the Epstein headline that was dogging Donald Trump in the days immediately leading up to the start of the war he began with Iran will she get it right in those days it was news of a woman who alleged sexual and physical assault by Donald Trump when she was a child. That story was all over the news, including in right-wing outlets. Importantly, it's a story that Donald Trump denies.
Starting point is 02:03:00 But today, for reasons that aren't completely clear, Melania Trump grabbed the Kleglites and thrust them back, not just to Donald Trump's ties to Jeffrey Epstein, but her own with this. Be cautious about what you believe. These images and stories, and stories are completely false.
Starting point is 02:03:23 I'm not a witness or a name witness in connection with any of Epstein's crimes. My name has never appeared in court documents, depositions, victim statements, or FBI in interviews surrounding the Epstein matter. The Epstein matter. The Epstein crimes. from Lee in New York. I never a friend of Epstein. The interactions were simply business. Bell Jeffrey, we always liked him. It was only business.
Starting point is 02:04:03 Okay, here's the big mystery. Will Nicole Wallace get it right and understand why this is what it is? And by the way, all that, I never appeared in, my name has never appeared in depositions. should be followed by that you know of because millions of documents still remain hidden. I have never had any knowledge of Epstein abuse of his victims. I was never involved in any capacity. I was not a participant, was never on Epstein's plane.
Starting point is 02:04:46 Has somebody whispered to her that there's some shit coming that's going to get all over her orange hubby? I confess, it's curiouser and curiouser, said Alice. Yeah. After 13 years, I didn't. Shut up. Hate the goddamn ads. There's another one.
Starting point is 02:05:17 The question we have today is, why did she say those things? And why did I? Those questions. That breaking news is where we start today. Washington correspondent host of the weekend a.m. Jackie Alamini joins us from the Northwana of the White House. Also joining us, New York Times White House correspondent, Luke Broadwaters here. We'll be joined in a couple minutes by the ranking member, the House Oversight Committee, Democratic Congressman Robert Garcia. Jackie Alamini, I start with you.
Starting point is 02:05:45 Why did this happen and why did she say those things? Yeah, Nicole, that is the question that we're all asking today. In fact, I just got off a very quick call before we went to air with President Trump, who said he was in the in the middle of a war meeting and that he couldn't talk for very long and had to go, but that actually he had no prior knowledge to the topic that Melania, Trump, his wife, is going to be touching upon today in his statement, in her statement. He then repeated that he had to go, but before we hung up the phone, he said that she didn't know him, presumably referring to Jeffrey Epstein.
Starting point is 02:06:19 This was a really remarkable statement that we heard from. Yeah, because in all those photos, she'd been introduced. to him as Mr. Cohen. Yeah. The first lady, it was something that my colleague, Jake Trailer, when he paints some of his, one of his White House sources said that many people in the building were not prepared for this. She also called on a public hearing that's centered around Epstein's victims. This is a sea change from the message that we've been hearing from the White House,
Starting point is 02:06:51 specifically from President Trump. The last time he was asked about this, he actually scolds. did a reporter of the report. Oh my God. So Jackie Alamani asked it with Niro directly. Why did melanoma do this? Who's melanoma?
Starting point is 02:07:08 I've never heard of a melanoma. She's not like that. I'm in the middle of a war meeting. We're on the brink of a fucking nuclear Holocaust. We're still on the brink, by the way. And he's forgotten who his wife is. You mean, Ivana?
Starting point is 02:07:28 at the time was CNN's Caitlin Collins, scolded for even asking the question, and then said it was the time for the country to move on. So again, lots of questions here about the timing of this, why this is a president who in the past has preempted negative stories about him. Just a month ago, he posted very negatively about New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman, recently, actually just two days of, ago. Okay, let's skip a bit more and see if we can get to Robert Garcia.
Starting point is 02:08:09 There he is. California. He's a ranking member of the House Oversight Committee. Are you in possession of any materials that haven't been released to the public yet that suggest any of the things Melania Trump today deny, quote, I never had a relationship with Epstein, quote, I'm not Epstein's victim, quote, I'm not a witness or a victim to any crimes. I have never been accused of a crime? We're not. And I'll just start by saying that this kind of press conference that the first lady just had was pretty stunning for a variety of reasons. First is she is publicly calling for a hearing with survivors that we have been asking for four months
Starting point is 02:08:53 and have been told every time that it wasn't possible. Chairman Comer has not scheduled it. This is the same administration that is called this investigation a hoax. I mean, just a day ago, the acting attorney general, Todd Blanche, said that the DOJ was not moving forward on any part of the Epson investigation. This has been an investigation the White House has pushed aside. There have been efforts by survivors to meet with the White House, to meet with the DOJ. And so for the first lady to come out and to essentially say that she has, calling on this public hearing for survivors and to kind of put herself in the center of the
Starting point is 02:09:36 story is something that we certainly were not expecting today, but we certainly welcome and agree with her call to hear directly from the survivors. And this pushes back against all efforts the White House has been making and really distances herself from the president and his public statements in trying to end this investigation and essentially calling it a, calling it a hoax. Uh, uh, you,
Starting point is 02:10:03 the, has she been talking to her divorce lawyer? I don't know. Why did she say those things? Um, all right,
Starting point is 02:10:18 that's the, that's, that's the last of it, Camel Cardinal. Uh, for the love of whatever you consider, holy, please stop playing that nails on a
Starting point is 02:10:28 chalkboard strumpet. It's Sad enough that you put us through her John's audio clips on the... Is it... On the daily? And for that unprofessional whore to talk about ethical integrity? Bitch, please. Adding, the Camel Cardinal does.
Starting point is 02:10:46 I've not been accused of a crime. Seriously, melanoma? What you're doing to the English language is a hate crime. We men. All around America. And they said, Michelle. Obama was a guy. Oh, hey, Matt and San Francisco, thank you so much.
Starting point is 02:11:10 That's awesome. We're down to 1615 now, and that means only $115 to finish up funding for last Thursday. Thank you so much, Matt. That's huge. Thank you. And from Stephen, New York, melanoma? Didn't know her. She made great coffee.
Starting point is 02:11:32 Not my type. hi yeah I know and Matt tells me that was in memory of Carol Baker she was a class act I'm grateful for the horn for you for the community
Starting point is 02:11:46 I'm a better person for having heard what she brought to the table yeah and she she brought a lot to that table she was a she was an idea and information feast
Starting point is 02:11:59 she was thank you so much Matt thank you what oh there's another one of those environmental stories that i wanted to mention with this can the bald eagles be far behind we know he hates bald eagles we've seen the video mother jones had a story recently apparently the cattlemen are mad at bison so now nitwit nero's hoar i mean white house wants to eliminate protections for the American bison,
Starting point is 02:12:38 literally a symbol of the country, having appeared on the nickel at one point. Well, Mother Jones, writing, acceding to anti-bison grumbling, Jesus, who knew there was big bison out there, from cattle ranchers and Republican politicians in Montana, Interior Secretary Doug Bergum, In January, proposed canceling leases for buffalo grazing on federal land
Starting point is 02:13:08 managed by the Bureau of Land Management. At one point in time, the BLM was actually proud of the fact that it staved off extinction for the buffalo. And in fact, a buffalo is still on the official seal of the Interior Department. Now, they write, in the MAGA era with interior reversing the Biden administration's determination that conservation is a use of BLM land on par with grazing and resource extraction. Bergum has ruled that since bison here in north central Montana are not being raised for production-oriented purposes, they have no legal right to roam, wallow, or munch grass on land leased from the bureau. It would run at least 950 bison off the pastures.
Starting point is 02:13:57 where they currently graze. Just context. The buffalo, you know, where the buffalo roam, the buffalo used to roam this entire continent. There were buffalo in West Virginia. I can't imagine how it must have been easy for them, but those were some badass hillbilly buffalo. But we eventually chased them and shot them and ate them.
Starting point is 02:14:23 And sometimes just slaughtered them just to watch them die by the third. thousands, white guys would get on trains, excursion trains, and as it crossed the Great Plains, they would literally shoot bison from a moving train, literally, in the words of Johnny Cash, just to watch them die. from the South Dakota Rosebud Sue OJ.J. Seaman's senior speaking to Mother Jones said, Interior's proposed ruling would put a chokehold on us being able to increase our buffalo herds. We should not have the federal government saying only cattle get affordable BLM leases. It's just so stupid the way they're doing this.
Starting point is 02:15:13 And then the line. It's DEI for cows. Oh, Mr. Seamins, Ramamma ding-dye, DEI for cows. The level of stupidity, it rots the mind. Oh, and by the way, now the maggots, the popular influence, are pretty maggots, are coming for Paula White Kane, you know, the tongue-speaking floor. rolling snake handling Chris Go Oil Head Anointing
Starting point is 02:15:56 Prosperity Gospel Huckster. Well, Allie Beth Stucky hosts a podcast that is apparently popular. Oh, and by the way, from the Whalehead Dead Bear Brain Worm Lamprey story earlier, yeah, he's going to have a podcast
Starting point is 02:16:16 where he's going to debunk all the bad information out there. That may be where the onion got the scoop on the children eating bees story. But no, Ali, Beth Stucky, he said, We've talked about the province with Paula White's theology on this show many times.
Starting point is 02:16:39 I believe her to be heretical, and while I'm sure she's accomplishing some really good things that I as a Christian can be thankful for, really, Allie, that doesn't mean she's never said something true, but she often says things that are not true that are anti-biblical and I think we need to be able to hold those truths at the same time and call her out when she's wrong.
Starting point is 02:16:58 The comparison to the king of kings and the Lord of Lords to Jesus Christ is just unnecessary and not true. I don't even think this is the time to compliment Trump. You could have done that. You appreciate that he's hosting this. You're glad that he cares about religious freedom, which I think is true.
Starting point is 02:17:14 I think that's true without comparing him to Jesus. Let's not do that. And let's not name it. and claim it at the end. Oh, name it and claim it, dear God. Oh, these evil jellicles. Because that's not something that we have the right or the authority or the guidance to do. He's losing the evil jellicles, even, I guess.
Starting point is 02:17:37 Wow. Oh, well, thank you, Billable, Rick. Ronald, I'm a ding-dong for you. Those are some badass hillbilly buffaloes. I don't care if you're walking on four legs or two, getting up and down these steep slopes is a bugger. And Steve, Carol Baker, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn.
Starting point is 02:17:59 Didn't she coined the term Emery and Marvelline? I know she gave us the Valerina Swan Lake, trailer park, and country club, yeah. Well, Emery and Marvelline are mine, but the minute that Sister Carol informed us of the existence of the Ballerina Swan Lake trailer court and country club, we knew immediately where Emerald
Starting point is 02:18:20 and Marvelline lived and sad every day watching Fox News TV Radio Rwanda in their matching Barkal loungers. Yeah, it sucks, Steve. I found out about this
Starting point is 02:18:35 about 2 o'clock this afternoon and it was rough. What a joy she was. And somehow I missed this one. Brian Bettenker. Brian Bettenker is one of those maggot chuds who attacked the capital of the United States
Starting point is 02:18:58 on January 6th, 2021. He's one of those domestic terrorists. And, of course, he was pardoned, but he's back in the joint. Having been pardoned, I guess he thought that that was just a pass for everything. several weeks back oh god this is so weird this is
Starting point is 02:19:22 trigger warning this is just so great he was arrested after he allegedly touched multiple multiple women on the DC Metro and live streamed himself stroking their hair without consent well
Starting point is 02:19:38 that was that was one bust but WUSA Channel 9 says that now he's been accused of engaging in stalking and violating the terms of his release, you know, on the hair stroking charge. W. USA said, when he was arraigned in D.C. court on March 13th, Judge Renee Raymond,
Starting point is 02:19:59 released him under the condition he wears an ankle GPS monitor and stays away from metro trains and stations. But the judge said, if she had the basis to hold him in jail, she definitely would. In a new motion ahead of Bettencurs Wednesday hearing, this was a few days ago, prosecutors are asking a judge to hold impending trial for violating the conditions of his release the filing says in the past month he is harassed and stalked a woman in dc and a warrant for his arrest for stalking was issued tuesday yep there's those there's those j6 political prisoners and everything triggers a memory prosecutors say bettencura resident of silver spring maryland harassed the woman using telegram and x asking her about mental health, sexually explicit topics throughout 2024 and 2025, and asking her about her feet. And having read that, I immediately time traveled back to the spring of 1986, a production of The Tempest at the University of Alabama, and the cast party that I hosted at the close of that production,
Starting point is 02:21:11 wherein our card-carrying actor's equity actor who played our prospero showed up at the party shit-faced nobody had told us that he was in recovery and apparently he had decided he wasn't as well and we eventually had to barricade him into a bedroom because we couldn't throw him out didn't want to call the cops or certain substances being
Starting point is 02:21:42 all combusted you know people were smoking pot but he plop down apparently similar to young maggot and domestic
Starting point is 02:21:58 terrorist Bettenker next to a beautiful young woman freshman there at University of Alabama at the time and said lovely feet his Bettenker's harassment of the woman went so far
Starting point is 02:22:16 that he stalked her to a place an event in D.C. where she was going and gave a Nazi salute and tried to get her thrown out eventually live streaming himself wandering around
Starting point is 02:22:35 the Supreme Court building while they let him in while the court heard oral arguments about birthright citizenship last week asking where the woman was. He spent four months in jail for what he did on January 6th. And he showed up to help who? Of course, the proud boys. When police asked him what he was doing, he said,
Starting point is 02:22:59 I'm here to hand out Bibles. And he had an ankle monitor on then because he'd been convicted for breaking into an elementary school. And naturally, he was tied to. had ties to white supremacists and fantasized about being a lone wolf killer. Yeah. God. Can you undo a presidential pardon? I'm just curious.
Starting point is 02:23:27 Be nice. I guess not. And one last moment of sublime weirdness. Hunter Biden popped up today. He released a video. or a video came out with him in it, in which, yeah,
Starting point is 02:23:51 he challenged Trader Tot and Don Jr. to a steel cage death match. No, really? TMZ. Hey, guys, Hunter Biden here. I just got a call from Andrew Callahan. He asked me to come out on the Channel 5 Carnival Tour at the end of the month. I think we start in Phoenix,
Starting point is 02:24:15 and then we go to San Diego, and we end in Albuquerque. And I think he's trying to organize a cage match, me versus Eric and Don Jr. I told him I'd do it 100% in if he can pull it off, and if you can't, I'm still coming. And I think he's got a lot of other surprises up his sleeve, a lot of fun, and I hope I can see you guys out there. You can get tickets online right now, and I'll see how. got on tour. Alrighty then. Am I a complete heathen for saying that I would like to watch him beat the living shit out of Trader Tot and then Eric the Dumber?
Starting point is 02:25:02 Do those two idiots get to tag team? Can we get somebody to work alongside Hunter? Does the fight get called if it? Uh-uh. Yeah. Oh This timeline This timeline
Starting point is 02:25:24 Well at least he didn't challenge A big old boar on I guess Make sure you get paid Hunter And apparently Melan- Not Melanoma Custy the nasty Nazi gnome She's got
Starting point is 02:25:39 You know she got the new job working a Shield of the Americas Well According to published reports, in this case the Daily Mail. Sources tell us, at least four officials, who
Starting point is 02:25:57 followed Boehm from the DHS to her new role of the Special Envoy to the Shield of the Americas, were placed on administrative leave. They include former deputy chief of staff, Troop Hemingway, ex-deadie general counsel Giovanna Cinelli, and junior staffers Josh King and
Starting point is 02:26:13 Octavian Miller. As senior State Department officials told the Daily male that Nome held only one meeting this week, which was conducted virtually as her remaining staff were either dispersed throughout the main state department headquarters of working from home. Apparently it was supposed to provide a soft landing so it wouldn't look like she'd been fired when everybody with two brain cells to rub together realized she got fired. And I guess the idea that I floated at the beginning of the program is getting legs. David Rothkopf writing at the Daily Beast a columnist there
Starting point is 02:26:53 said of melanoma's appearance today there's clearly more to this story than meets the eye and it will be very interesting both to get to the bottom of it and to watch the media spend the days and weeks ahead trying to disprove the first lady's sergeant Schultz
Starting point is 02:27:09 like assertion of I know nothing wow I don't know how old Mr. Rothkopf is but is a Sergeant Schultz reference still, is it still comprehensible to, you know, the millennials and Gen Z? I don't, but comparing her to Sergeant Schultz is pretty goddamn gold. For now, Rothkoff said, we're left with an apparent choice by the president and his team to return the Epstein story to center stage, and with the abundance of evidence that their primary goal was to get people to stop thinking about the president. President's catastrophic decision to attack Iran and his despicable performance as commander-in-chief.
Starting point is 02:27:51 Unless, of course, the President was as blindsided by his wife's statement as anyone else, and we therefore must conclude the old guy is no more aware of or in control of what goes on in the White House than he is of anything else at the moment, which leaves you wondering who the hell is running the shop.
