Starting point is 00:02:56 of the algorithms and the magic whereby mostly right-wing controlled platforms de-emphasized liberal and progressive programming sure would be helpful. So thanks in advance, and thanks to those of you who already do. This is also the last day for the old chat room,
Starting point is 00:03:19 where, if you're listening live, I'm glad to be in your good company, and, well, gathered there for this last day of the old chat room are Ralphs and Squeaky and Theo. Hey, gang. Excuse me, too much gin on the corn flakes at dinner. All capably moderated by Horn Chief of Gras. Chief Mathematician, Bud Tremmer emeritus, and Zimmergist extraordinaire. Really? The hiccups? I don't know. Maybe my mom's got something to do with it. This would have been her 101st birthday. Hi, Mom. Miss you. Fabian.
Starting point is 00:04:10 But, yeah, Horn Chief Agronomous, Chief Mathematician, and Bud Tremor Emeritus, Roger. in Oregon is handling the moderating duties for this final day of the old chat room and Roger posted a note earlier when you go over to the Discord you want to click on the horn logo

But, yeah, she was born on this day.
Starting point is 00:05:40 I feel bad for my grandma, my grand. My mother was born on this day in 1925. See if we can do something about these damn hiccups. and just for for the record I guess it probably was a record for around here my little mama my sweet little mama
Starting point is 00:06:11 was 13 pounds on the day she was born and just so happened that my mom remained the baby of the family I don't I think she I think my mom may have broken the packaging in which she arrived because my grand never had another child.
Starting point is 00:06:32 My mother was the youngest of three. They're all gone. And it's also, curiously enough, the Trans Day of Visibility. So those two intersect every year and leave me with much, much to think about. But before we get too far into things, things. Every program here at the Horn begins with gratitude, and this program is no difference. So thanks go out to our 31st Day of the Month subscribers and contributors via PayPal. And what that means is thanks so very kindly to Charlie over at APS Radio News.
Starting point is 00:07:23 Thank you, Charlie. And thanks as well to... as well to Jessica. Jessica says, $50 challenge, the Horn family congregation matches my 50, and I'll give Raxan another 50. Here's your chance to raise an easy 150 bucks for our humble
Starting point is 00:07:53 ostus. This is in observance of, and the message cuts off. Let me see if I can find this in email, so I don't mess up. Look on it. We're off to a roar and start.
Starting point is 00:08:19 Yeah, this is, that's what I thought, Jessica. This is in observance of the International Transgender Day of Visibility. All around the country, people who are trans who have or are transitioning, post photos of themselves on this day, just as an encouragement. and as a reminder to those, and I've been through a few of these in the before time, to those who haven't or can't transition, that they are seen, that they are loved,
Starting point is 00:08:59 and that they're valid, and that we're just waiting for them when they finally find their liberation. So, if somebody kicks in 50 bucks, Jessica will kick in another 50 and will be down to only $2,000 to go to finish the month of finish the month of March fully funded
Starting point is 00:09:24 and gosh it couldn't come at a better time paid the power bill today it's damnedest thing don't use much in the way of electricity but well doesn't mean that Appalachian power didn't want a horse-gagging a lot of money just the same
Starting point is 00:09:42 Yeah Yeah Yeah Lee exactly Lee saying your mom After giving birth to a 13 pound baby I would not be surprised to find out that your grandmother said I am never going through that again
Starting point is 00:09:59 Cherish the good deeds and stories And they are many So many memories to cherish On this day Never bothered What does that make her What does that make my mama's astrological sign? I didn't check.
Starting point is 00:10:23 I know at the middle of April, that's when Taurus kicks in, because, well, and that's a Taurus. No doubt about that. But, yeah, it's really cool. We've got one of those panoramic photos that were so terribly popular back at the beginning of the 20th century, where the camera moved on a tripod, on a motorized tripod. and it made it possible. Aries. Thank you, Micah. Aries.
Starting point is 00:10:52 Okay, my mom was a ram. Bob Ram you. Bob Ram you. Yep. To your fleece, your herd be true. But, no, there was a panoramic photo taken of the Ramsey leg reunion. I think I've mentioned this before. I used to stare at it for ages when I was a kid
Starting point is 00:11:15 because there are hundreds of people. in it. The Ramses and the legs and, well, they're all related to me. My great-grandmother Kincaid was a Ramsey. And you can see like the Model T cars in the background. And also in the background, you can see that there's been a pickup game of baseball organized. And they're in, they're right there in play.
Starting point is 00:11:57 And the only two people out of that vast family, I mean, that was a huge, I mean, we're talking about 1925. A lot of family. The two most, the two family members who were not there were my mama and her mama, because nobody was getting out of the house that day. I think my grand was laid up for months after giving birth to my mom, and my mom, of course, was sickly, barely survived. Later on, they would go on to expect her not to make it through the night with a case of the member and this croup.
Starting point is 00:12:41 And a man drove like the devil himself was on his heel, heels to get to town and get whatever remedy it was that my mother needed to get her through the night. They expected her to die, but she did not. She had a strong will to live, and she would demonstrate that over and over again through the years, especially late 1972. I went everywhere with my parents. Babysitter? What babysitter? and so my father and I sat in the doctor's waiting room in an office there in Florence, Alabama, while my mom went in to be checked, and later on that day, because they basically treated me like a little adult.
Starting point is 00:13:45 And they explained to me that mama was sick. Mama was going to have to have an operation. Mama had breast cancer, malignant, in 1972. And it wasn't something that a lot of women survived, but she did. And there are photographs of her during that Christmas season of 1972. Just acting like nothing's wrong, knowing full well that she was about to go under the knife and could die on the table, but she still pulled Christmas dinner together, not just for my family, but for my uncle and his wife, and their two kids who, I guess, decided to visit that Christmas season,
Starting point is 00:14:50 which, interestingly, their particular brand of Christianity forbade them to observe. But those two little boys, my cousins, had their first Christmas season. ever that year. And shortly thereafter, in January of 1973, she would have a radical mastectomy of her right breast. And Robilladiktu, they took out all of her lymph from under her arm, a great deal of her musculature,
Starting point is 00:15:29 found that the cancer had not metastasized into her lymph, so that meant that Mama would live. and then they I mean those were barbaric days they basically nuked her with cobalt radiation until she was fried to a crisp in the hopes of getting all of the
Starting point is 00:15:57 cancer ultimately that cobalt treatment would end her life but it would be many years after about 25 because the radiation the radiation eventually killed her bone marrow's ability to produce red blood cells
Starting point is 00:16:25 and that led to her end she passed away at the age of 72 1997 oh I cried and I was with her and I recited the 23rd Psalm to her as she passed just as she had had recited it to me when I was sickly as a child,
Starting point is 00:16:49 and she wasn't sure if I was going to make it through the night. And she died with me holding both of her hands and reciting the 23rd Psalm, and I had had her for a total of 34 years. And now, now I've been without her for 29, and I sure could have, well, both her and dad had given anything just to talk to them sometimes, especially over the course of the last five years. almost six but yeah
Starting point is 00:17:29 happy birthday mom wherever you are or aren't uh oh oh goodness that's a way to shift the conversation
Starting point is 00:17:52 hey says Cynthia do you think it'd be all right if I stood outside of the Idaho border and publicly pissed over it into Idaho I wouldn't mind spitting across the border too I'd just like to turn Idaho into a very public restroom.
Starting point is 00:18:08 Kind of already is, isn't it? We'll probably get to that story later in the later in the course of the program. And of course, today, I mentioned the password, Connie. Oh, let me do some thank yous. Thank you to Ralph's.
Starting point is 00:18:34 Jumping in and meeting half of Jessica's Challenge, $25 more. And then, ooh. Well, Jessica's challenge is met and then some. Thank you. Anonymous friend.
Starting point is 00:18:56 Thank you so much. And then on top of it all, goodness me. Thank you, Charlie, at APS Radio News. Jessica's challenge has met. we are down to 2050 and now this takes us down Charlie just took us down to
Starting point is 00:19:21 16.5, no 1625 I better jot that down 1625 that's tremendous we're just a little short of one a little more than one week unfunded thank you
Starting point is 00:19:36 thank you thank you I cannot thank you enough we do so appreciate it Thank you, Charlie. And by the way, yes, in addition to my mom's birthday, happy birthday to Miss Micah. Miss Micah celebrates her birthday today, and I'm awfully glad that she's celebrating it with us. And a lot to look forward to in the coming year, Micah,
Starting point is 00:20:14 and I look forward to sharing these miles. stones with you let's see everything just seems to happen all at once let me take care of this my son just told me that and you know it's just another day in west virginia over in the greater beckley area where he and his partner and their three precious children my grandchildren live uh they don't got no running water so yeah we have sometimes we have have a hard time maintaining our for-profit potable water systems. And so Ferg said, yeah, no water tonight. And so, and he hates it when the dishes piled up in the sink because he says,
Starting point is 00:21:20 I won't be able to, I won't be able to do dishes. So that means they'll have to deal with it tomorrow if the water's back on by tomorrow. But hey, what a great reason to build more data centers in West Virginia that will consume more fresh water that the good people, the rate payers of West Virginia will cover yeah
Starting point is 00:21:46 they already are our for-profit water system a subsidiary of American water has decided they desperately need rate increases to service their poor
Starting point is 00:22:04 bedraggled shareholders because well they come first before the water does. Right? Yeah. Oh, what's that for the hiccups? A remedy? Huh.
Starting point is 00:22:25 Here's how you do it, says Reverbo. Take off your shoes and put your feet in two paper grocery bags. The hiccups will be gone shortly. And I bet I know why, too, for the same reason that if you've got a stitch in your side and you bend over and you pick up a rock and you spit on the bottom of the rock and put it right back where it was, the stitch in your side will disappear. magic. But no, I said the password was Tony, Roger
Starting point is 00:22:56 Tony, for a couple of reasons. A truly disgusting ruling from the Supreme Court of the United States today. Most of their rulings are these days, but this one seemed particularly odious because Sonia Sotomayor
Starting point is 00:23:13 and Elena Kagan decided to go along with their fascist brethren and sister in the ruling in which they said that the free speech rights of a Christophascist
Starting point is 00:23:34 therapist was more important than the well-being of children in Colorado. The case arose out of Colorado because the legislature of the state of Colorado decided that it didn't want Colorado's children to be tortured anymore
Starting point is 00:23:53 and so they passed a ban on so-called conversion therapy, also known as reparative therapy, also known as torture. There are plenty of adult Americans even who have been through that, either because they were trying to torture the gay away or torture the trans away. and so this one woman, a therapist, she's a Christian. Filed suit claiming that Colorado was trouncing her free speech rights
Starting point is 00:24:38 and her rights of conscience. I wouldn't say all of them, Micah. But, yeah, her, and the court said, well, it's only talk therapy. I mean, it's, I mean, it's, I mean, It's not like she's going to do electroshock therapy or lobotomize these little trans kids. She's just going to talk to them and get them to appreciate their gender and their sexuality. Pardon me.
Starting point is 00:25:19 If your humble hostess getting a bit upset about things bothers you, this is your trigger warning. Four, three, two, one. Fuck that bitch! Oh, really. Imagine being trained as a therapist. I doubt she is. She's probably got a therapy counseling degree from like Jerry Falwell University or some other gospel shop. I mean, I remember, I've told this story before.
Starting point is 00:25:57 I remember when I was first getting started. I knew I was going to have to have letters from therapists in order to pursue all the transition goals that I had. And so I reached out to our local mental health facility. In this case, it's Fayette, Mercer, Raleigh, and Summers, FMRS. And I said, hey, you know, I'm trans. I'm going to go through transition. and I need to be in therapy. So they're like, okay, that's great.
Starting point is 00:26:35 We'll be happy to set you up with a therapist. And they gave me this woman's name. And I don't know why I just did this, but I looked her up and I was like, oh, no. This woman not only had a degree in counseling from Jerry Falwell University, she got her master's degree in it there. And I was immediately back on the phone, this ain't going to work. And fortunately for me, they were more than accepting and more than understanding and more than accommodating.
Starting point is 00:27:08 We'll get you somebody else. And there's somebody else they got me. I've been doing therapy with for over five years now. And she's a wonderful therapist. And we've both learned so very much over the course of these years. But, you know, that's the kind of therapist that this ruling was written for eight to one. Eight to one. And, yeah, her free speech rights are more important than the well-being of kids.
Starting point is 00:27:46 Now, you don't, now listen, I am not going to call you by some girly name, Robin. That's not really your, oh, it really is your name. Oh, how unfortunate your parents named you that. Oh. Yeah, I'm not going to call you by your preferred name, and I'm not going to use your preferred pronouns, you little freak. You put your boy clothes back on and be a man, or we'll send you off to a boy's masculinity camp. You know, those things exist. Camps for young boys to make them alpha males?
Starting point is 00:28:29 First rule of alpha males, alpha males never have to tell you they're an alpha male. Second rule of alpha males is there's no such thing as alpha males. It just hyper-masculine chuds hiding their insecurities behind a wall of grime and filth and refusal to do basic hygiene.
Starting point is 00:28:57 It's been a while since I did that joke. But to her credit and she will go down in history as a visionary and I'm talking about Justice Katanzi
Starting point is 00:29:24 Brown Jackson who delivered her usual Jeremiah ad Oh, where to go I had the story right in front of me there it is
Starting point is 00:29:38 yeah frat boy Neil Gorsuch authored the eight to one decision in which Sonia Sotomayor Elena Kagan decided to play Quisling, and he blathered on about this woman's free speech rights
Starting point is 00:30:08 and how Colorado's conversion therapy ban violated her First Amendment rights because of her sincerely held religious beliefs that she should be able to torture and scream at little trans kids. and so curiously enough, Gorsuk was the same one who wrote the bullshit opinion in 2023, 303 Creative versus Alainis. That also came up out of Colorado. That was the one where the plaintiff invented an entire case claimed that someone had tried to do. business with her who didn't even exist in going so far as to name a name and when and when someone some enterprising pixel stained wretch reached out found the guy by the name and he's like i don't know why they're even talking about me i'm straight and i'm married to a woman and i have no bit i've
Starting point is 00:31:23 i've never even heard of this woman and so the entire case is based upon a fraud practiced upon the court but here we are according to his opinion today, frat boy Neil said that we were, he was stopping censorious governments. But I want to give massive props to Justice
Starting point is 00:31:55 Katanji Brown Jackson because she was so upset with this ruling that she delivered her descent from the bench. Among other things saying that this majority,
Starting point is 00:32:19 this 8 to 1 majority, had made talk therapy effectively unregulatable, and that the fallout could be catastrophic. I mean, yeah. Sauce goose, sauce, gander, right? Because now I suppose a therapist could say, what? You're a Christian?
Starting point is 00:32:52 What the fuck is wrong with you? You do know that that is a sick and misogynistic. religion based upon a patriarchal god whose followers have used that religion to oppress women for thousands of years, right? And you need to appreciate your own spirituality without reference to a bloodthirsty bronze age deity. And you'll never get well until you get shed of that. Mm-hmm. As she spoke from the bench after saying the fallout could be catastrophic, Justice Jackson said,
Starting point is 00:33:47 The majority got it wrong as a matter of precedent, first principles, and history. Well, then again, sooner or later, password was tawny, remember? Sooner or later, this emboldened fascist court, perhaps even with the two quizzling Sotomayor and Kagan may, and I will not be surprised when they do, finally write an opinion that states plainly a trans person has no rights which a cis person is bound to respect.
Starting point is 00:34:30 Yeah. Because that comes directly from the Dred Scott decision. No, no, Lee, you did. My mishearing, Lee in New York says, my ear heard Ramseys when you said Ramsey. Not the same. Ramsech is apparently some form of Gaelic for garlic. And in this neck of the woods, and perhaps over in Mary Oldy Engelon or wait. or where the hell ever.
Starting point is 00:35:08 Perhaps wild garlic grows there too because it grows here in profusion. It's ramp season here in West Virginia. And, well, ramps have to be gathered carefully or else you'll wipe out the patch. And they're a spring tonic. They're really strong. They're like a cross between onions and garlic and leeks. And as I've mentioned before, the great newspaper editor Jim Connoisse. who for years and years and years edited a newspaper that went all over the world called the West Virginia Hillbilly.
Starting point is 00:35:49 He thought it would be cute one time to pour a very small bottle of ramp juice into his printer's ink and used that to, it was a spring issue, and he mailed it all over the world. and postmaster general of the United States got back with Mr. Comstock and said, if you ever pull a stunt like that again, we're going to pull your mailing privileges. Just one copy of your newspaper was enough to foul thousands of pieces of mail. Just one of your newspapers in a bag. He never did it again. I imagine that would be quite the collector's item now. The ramp paper.
Starting point is 00:36:37 But, no. Not Ramsey's, but I think that's funny. But yes, as you said, so let it be written, so let it be done. Moses, Moses, Moses. Who is this Moses? I'm thinking this Moses shall have been a fool. Oh, Ramseys. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:37:03 And, well, thank you. Billable Rick, and thanks again for the challenge, Jessica. Billable Rick said $25 $15.000 Rocksand's Mama challenge in honor of your mother's 101st birthday
Starting point is 00:37:20 and your beautiful remembrance of her I'm pledging $25 and will double it to 50 upon it being matched and the llama is begging for a hearty bill for telling your mom's story. And also a hearty Ramalama Ding Dong for Charlie over at APS Radio News
Starting point is 00:37:35 and for Jessica as well. Thank you. Thank you. Her name was Margaret Faith. the namesake of my daughter, Markey. So, yeah, we can get down, we can get down to only one unfunded week. Thank you. Thank you, Billable.
Starting point is 00:38:10 I know, I know, Kim. Kim in New York. How the hell could so do my R and Kagan vote in favor of this bullshit? What on earth were they thinking? Well, they get all squishy if you bring up religious stuff. Oh, it's about religious liberty. Liberty, sit. They were,
Starting point is 00:38:32 Kim, they were engaging in collegiality on the court. Uh-huh. Interesting that Gorsuch got the opinion. That means that it was assigned to him by old balls and strikes Roberts. Because I think Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor would not have signed on to an opinion authored by Clarence Pubes on the Coke Can Fappy Thomas or his pal Sammy Bad Breath Alito Both of them
Starting point is 00:39:09 Dear, dear, dear friends of Har Har Har and Lee Lee Harlan Crow and Leonard Leo Yeah It's no, it's disgusting Kim and You know I don't often focus this closely On cases like this because while they matter a very great deal to me and to others in this community,
Starting point is 00:39:36 I always want to take care to make sure that no one thinks that we're turning this program into that kind of a show. That's not even funny. So the pogrom against trans people continues. horrifyingly. I'm trying to actually find Justice Jackson's dissent because she always writes both eloquently
Starting point is 00:40:29 and elegantly. I'm not the only one, however, who was disgusted by this turn of events. Mark Joseph Stern over at Slate was sickened by it as well. Stern said,
Starting point is 00:41:07 what's most frustrating about the court's decision in Childs v. Salazar, aside from its devastating real-world consequences for LGBTQ-plus youth, is its profound hypocrisy masquerading as principle. Justice Neil Gorsuch's majority opinion praises itself for preserving Americans inalienable right to think and speak freely by rejecting Colorado's alleged effort to enforce orthodoxy in thought or speech. But as Justice Katanji Brown Jackson explained in her lone descent,
Starting point is 00:41:41 the majority really took sides in the culture wars. It affirmed the constitutional rights of anti-LGBQ plus therapists while continuing to disregard the rights of trans-affirming doctors, abortion providers, and other medical professionals disfavored by this court, and that's absolutely true, because this case, is a howling repudiation of the case that the opinion in Scrimetti when they said that trans adolescents do not have a right to the medical care that they need and that it was just fine for Tennessee to tell them that they would have to suffer in Tennessee. and now across multiple states in the union.
Starting point is 00:42:30 But they tried to square that circle by saying, well, in Scrimetti, you know, that was like medicine, and this is just talk. So if, let's say, a 15-year-old kid has been sent to this god-awful witch doctor, child, not be disdainful of your sex. That's the kind of language they use these days. Does the child then have free speech to look at a therapist and say,
Starting point is 00:43:07 you are a monumental, sadistic piece of shit. And I don't care if my parents make me come here every day for a goddamn year. I don't have another fucking word to say to you, bitch. And I do it because of my sincerely help religious beliefs. Yeah. They're going to torture the children. You know, these sick right-wing Christians, no, it says suffer the little children to come unto me.
Starting point is 00:43:48 But they seem to think it says, Hey, come on, y'all, let's make the little children suffer. But Justice Jackson said the majority appears to have made this momentous decision without adequately grappling with its potential long-term and disastrous implications for all manner of medical regulations, which are suddenly vulnerable to a first, Amendment attack. The ruling's logic
Starting point is 00:44:12 could even prohibit states from punishing doctors who don't advise against smoking. Jesus Christ. But there is another side to this. What is to stop the state of Colorado now from simply
Starting point is 00:44:35 refusing to license horrifying torture bitches like this supposed therapist and refusing to grant them a license to practice in the state of Colorado because they have demonstrated that they wish to harm children. I hope this is not the end of it. Take that, take that, take, take that. No, I don't want to insult the practice of being witch doctors. I mean, one of my great-great-grandfathers was one. No kidding. But yeah,
Starting point is 00:45:24 Take away this philandering, not philandering, but this, this, take away this charlatan's ability to harm children. Come on, state government of Colorado. Get with it. Hey, Reverbo, you're in Colorado. How about writing a letter to that effect? And now, to be fair, Elena Kagan didn't just sign on to Gorsuch's opinion. She concurred. She said, well, they might survive a challenge.
Starting point is 00:45:59 Oh, you sweet summer child. If they are viewpoint neutral restrictions on certain topics in doctors' offices. Mark Stern was having none of that either. He said, what was such a law actually look like? Would it bar licensed therapists from any discussion of a minor sexual orientation or gender identity, meaning a counselor could neither affirm nor reject their LGBTQ plus identification? If so, why would any state want to do that? Outlawing LGBTQ affirming therapy would itself hurt children and defeat a key purpose of these laws?
Starting point is 00:46:30 and he was trying, Mark Joseph Stern was, to find a diamond in the dung of Kagan's concurrence, saying, maybe Kagan sought to prevent the majority opinion from undermining countless other state laws that restrict speech in the medical context. I mean, could Colorado pass a law that says it's illegal for a therapist to advocate, Self-harm? Well, you know, Easter's on Sunday, and well, Jesus suffered on the cross, and good Christians need to suffer like Jesus, so, honey, if you're cutting yourself, you just keep on cutting, okay? Oh, well, if she did that, if she said that,
Starting point is 00:47:34 and she had a sincerely held religious belief that self-flagellation and hair shirts and barbed wire worn around the thighs, I mean, remember, these are some of the things, the things that people like fat dead Tony Scalia did and well Clarence pubes on the Coke can Fappy Thomas apparently still do you know because remember they're they're part of that that disgusting right-wing fascist brand of Chris of Catholicism opus dee so Mark Joseph Stern said The concurrence is too cryptic to make any real conclusions, but he said maybe Sotomayor and Kagan were only willing to join the majority
Starting point is 00:48:29 if the opinion sent the issue back to lower courts instead of striking down the law outright, or if it focused on viewpoint discrimination and left content regulation as a workaround. This time around, Stern said, Kagan and Sotomayor may have sought to mitigate the damage rather than take a loss on the chin, but Jackson's pessimism gives us every reason to fear that her colleagues have crassons. a doctrine that lets them impose their own orthodoxy in the name of free expression. And this is a big win. You need to understand this is a big win for the fascists, because until recently, Colorado was held up as one of the shining gems of the Republic
Starting point is 00:49:19 in terms of being a safe place for LGBTQ plus people to exist, especially trans people. not quite so convincing now, is it? No, not at all. And I want to, we're going to stay with the Dred Scott theme for a moment here, because of course tomorrow, a far more momentous case will be argued in front of the court. For those of us who monitor the proceedings, we will have to listen to the vocal stylings of hacksaw, Jack Sauer,
Starting point is 00:50:22 as he argues that the 14th Amendment doesn't say what they say it says. Only two people. Only two justices of the court. Benjamin R. Curtis and John McLean. dissented from the Dred Scott case. Interestingly, Curtis hailed from Massachusetts, which of course was the home of much of the abolitionist thinking of the time. He served on the court for about six years.
Starting point is 00:51:43 John McLean hailed from born in New Jersey, but hailed from, hailed from the frontier having lived in what was then Morgantown, Virginia, where it sits my alma mater, Harvard on the Mon. His family eventually settling in Warren County, Ohio. And he eventually graduated from Harvard in 1806. and because he was raised in a free state, he too had anti-slavery opinions. But Justice Tawny, Justice James M. Wayne, Justice John Catron, Justice Peter V. Daniel, Justice Samuel Nelson, Justice Robert C. Greyer,
Starting point is 00:53:02 and John A. Campbell all joined the majority writing separate concurrences, Tani writing the actual controlling opinion. But that's the case where Tani penned the infamous words that will eventually be echoed by this modern Tani court in one form or another, Roger Tani said, The Negro has no rights which a white person is obliged to respect. And that racist dumbass from Maryland came from a slave and enslaving family. Thought that was going to settle the slavery question.
Starting point is 00:54:04 Once and for all, we wouldn't have to have us a civil war. But here's the problem. It's been settled law in this country from the moment that the Tani decided. decision was issued. Abraham Lincoln was downright pissed and at one time was considering how to well
Starting point is 00:54:31 throw Justice Toney in the clink but from that day to this everyone has routinely understood that that was the worst decision in the entire history of the Supreme Court of the United States but
Starting point is 00:54:54 no more because tomorrow, tomorrow in the Supreme Court of the United States, hacksaw Jack Sauer, on behalf of Donald J. motherfucking pedophile, 34 times convicted of a felony, serial sexual predator Trump, will argue that Tani was right all along,
Starting point is 00:55:21 that there are just some people in this country, the rights of whom others are not bound to respect. In this case, it's people babies who receive citizenship by virtue of having been born in the United States per the language of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
Starting point is 00:56:05 It is absolutely sickening to me to have to say that out loud. But here we are. And yes, he'll make that argument. the idea of birthright citizenship was so important that it was section one of the 14th amendment all persons born or naturalized in the united states and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the united states and of the state wherein they reside it's pretty straightforward if you're looking for reasons why somebody wouldn't be well it's the and subject to the jurisdiction thereof language that means that, let's say, his majesty's ambassador to the United States, Lord Fauntleroy Fingerbutt, let's say his lady wife,
Starting point is 00:57:17 gives birth to a child whilst he is serving, he, Lord Fauntleroy, is serving as his majesty's ambassador. That child is not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States because among other things we know that ambassadors can commit crimes in this country and not be subjected to
Starting point is 00:57:38 criminal penalties in this country under diplomatic immunity. So that's kind of what that speaks to. All persons born are naturalized in the United States are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. I mean, among other things, that means
Starting point is 00:58:04 that let's say you're oh, like that one what was his name again Justice McLean well this is before the 14th Amendment but he was born in New Jersey he was an American citizen
Starting point is 00:58:20 but he wound up with his family in Warren County, Ohio where he became since he resided there a citizen of the Buckeye state obvious one might think
Starting point is 00:58:38 but not to the fascists on this court they say instead that, and you just heard me, it's not in the 14th Amendment at all. They say that at least one parent needs to be a real live, honest of goodness, no kid in American, before the baby can be American, too. It's bullshit.
Starting point is 00:59:07 The case was settled in 1880, and for all intents and purposes, tomorrow, Hacksaw Jack Sauer will argue the 1880 case, all over again there are notes from the framers of the 14th Amendment making clear that all means all
Starting point is 00:59:34 that there's no asterisk that Congress didn't stutter when they ratified the 14th Amendment but nothing and I do mean nothing now is safe
Starting point is 01:00:03 and nitwit Niro is of course wrought over the whole thing and trying to intimidate the court. He went over to tripe social and posted a tripe in which he grunted. The birthright citizenship has to do with the babies of slaves, not Chinese billionaires who have 56 kids, all of whom become American citizens. one of the many great scams of their time Chinese billionaires with 56 kids How about a South African billionaire Who entered this country and lied on his immigration forms
Starting point is 01:00:55 And is up to something like 14 kids Who are all American citizens now Well Elon is white Oh, did I say that out loud? This is a momentous ruling Because it has been kept in relatively simple, albeit racist terms, but the potential harm is profound.
Starting point is 01:01:47 So I'll be tuned in, I'm sure many of us will. And I'm sure Clarence and Fappy. Well, let's count the votes. We know he's got Clarence and Fappy. He's got Fappy and Sammy. I'm sorry. Fappy and Sammy. Beer boof and brat and his law clerk's squires,
Starting point is 01:02:17 squee and quefe? Okay. Frat boy, Neil? Getting close. John Roberts blathers on in front of an audience about how, well, it's not fair if we make it about the personalities. You're the one making it about the personalities,
Starting point is 01:02:43 balls and strikes, you perjurer. Ah. They are literally going to argue the validity of Taney's opinion and Dred Scott is brought back to life
Starting point is 01:03:09 in front of the Supreme Court. Of course, tomorrow is also April Fool's Day. I realize that one has to, if one is NASA, one has to strike while the iron is hot and use the launch windows that avail themselves. but I feel like raw in platoon.
Starting point is 01:03:50 I got a bad feeling about this, man. I got a bad feeling. We're going to trust these shitbirds to send a spacecraft to orbit the moon. They can't even avoid shooting down our own aircraft over in the sandbox. Okay, Lee. Born in New Jersey, moved to Ohio. You got a problem with that!
Starting point is 01:04:27 It's like Thornton Wilder wrote in The Matchmakers. Huh, even the pigeons are leaving yonkers. Was it yonkers? Even the pigeons are leaving New Jersey. I can't remember. It was a long time ago I did that play. Well, no worries about that, Cynthia. That's fine.
Starting point is 01:04:58 Cynthia says, I need to take about a couple of months up from donating. Do what you've got to do. I'm spending every spare penny, Cynthia says. I have right now to remodel my kitchen into something. something far more functional for me than it is now, especially with my stiff bad back. I've been saving up for it for several years and finally have just enough money to get it done. Believe me, the pull-out cabinet drawers and lazy Susans will make it so much easier for me to get stuff out that are almost inaccessible to me now. When I'm past it, I'll donate again, though.
Starting point is 01:05:27 Just hang on until then. We will hang on and can't wait for... Well, you can send photos. Kitchen porn. I'm always up for kitchen porn. and by the way Cynthia adds those so-called conversion therapists
Starting point is 01:05:44 are not telling me who I am and I will tell those fucking rat fucking pig bastards who I am and I can sure tell them what they can do with all their conversion shit and they can sure fucking choke on it rat fucking pig bastards
Starting point is 01:05:58 I do love the way you write Cynthia and as you and I both know she adds children are already so vulnerable these rat fucking pig bastards will cause kids to commit suicide, I guarantee it. And from Darrell in Houston, sincerely held religious beliefs, sincerely held religious beliefs are not in any way
Starting point is 01:06:19 an excuse to deprive anyone of their rights, nor is upholding individual or group rights and abridgment of free speech in any way. The goddamn lie needs to be argued against at every opportunity. When the American Fascist Party loses something, they immediately start planning how they're going to abuse the gullibility, the uneducated American, and populists through lies and propaganda until they get their way.
Starting point is 01:06:44 See Roe to Dobbs. Also, the gutting of the Voting Rights Act. Democrats never refer to getting rid of the Telecommunications Act, citizens united, or any other right-wing abuse of the Constitution, nor do you ever hear of any democratic institution planning how to overturn these atrocities. Our side always chooses to go along to get along until the Democrats grow some Godzilla-sized balls. start working to restore common sense to our laws and constitution, we are doomed.
Starting point is 01:07:17 I fear, I fear you're more right than you know, Darrell adding, media self-censorship. Republicans institutionalize the accusation of liberal media bias so thoroughly that the media now polices itself on their behalf, even when the corruption on the other side is jaw-dropping, Tom Hartman. Yeah, that's something I've been saying for a long time, too. You can watch it in action. just about any time you turn on old MS now, for instance. And, of course, I'm so old, and Hartman's been on the air as long.
Starting point is 01:07:55 Both he and I can probably remember a grifter by the name of Bernie Goldberg, who wrote a pathetic tome that sold bagillions of copies and was hawked on every fascist street corner about the liberal media. In fact, he was so convincing that he inspired at least one individual to go on a murderous shooting spree at the, what, Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist congregation? Guy left a manifesto. Jim Guy Atkinson, when he went in to shoot up a children's production
Starting point is 01:08:50 at the Universalist Congregation, a children's production of Annie. And he said that Bernie Goldberg and Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh, et cetera, ad nauseum, had inspired him to go and kill because he couldn't get at Nancy Pelosi, but by God, he could kill those liberals in that church.
Starting point is 01:09:21 Interestingly, he was taken down by those self-same liberals. None of whom had a gun. Yeah. Well, thank you, Jessica, Jessica noting. It's also my sixth anniversary of coming out, so here, have another $25 to match Rick's challenge. Well, thank you, Jessica, and happy, happy sixth anniversary. I'm glad you did, and I know you're the better for it.
Starting point is 01:10:07 Meanwhile, a warning from Jeremy. If you keep this up, you're going to turn the remaining straight frogs gay, Robin. I'm not trying to turn anybody gay. I'm just, no. Wait, was it the frogs turning gay that Alex Jones was talking about, or was it, or were they trans, were the chemicals trans? the frogs. I confess, I get lost. What else? Well, given the topics that we have covered so far, my apologies, it is a trans day of observance, so I hope you'll bear with me. This one,
Starting point is 01:11:21 well, this one is just too damn good. We've known that there was something up with Krusty the nasty Nazi gnome for a while now, and remember she was still governor of the state of South Dakota Stan when her husband Brian moved out of the governor's mansion and took up separate lodging. This was when the rumors began to swirl about Krusty and her boyfriend, the serial sex pest. Corey Lewandowski. Now, this whole story
Starting point is 01:12:11 starts with two absolute birdcage liners. The Daily Mail and the New York Post. So, take it for what it is.
Starting point is 01:12:28 The Daily Mail decided to investigate Brian Nome. Um, yeah. Um, And apparently they uncovered, uncovered,
Starting point is 01:12:53 what they described as hundreds of messages. No kink shaming here. Hundreds of messages between Brian Nome and three women in what was described as the fetish scene. And the Daily Mail also got photographs that allegedly showed Brian Nome. dressed as a woman with fake breasts.
Starting point is 01:13:30 I mean, it seems like that last part is superfluous. The Daily Mail reached out to Brian Nome, and he said he did not deny the allegations of being a cross-dresser or sharing sexy time talk and conversation with the other participants in the fetish group. But he did say, I deny sharing indiscreet comments about my wife, because this is about attacking Brian Knoem, that it would have exposed Krusty to blackmail threats.
Starting point is 01:14:19 I deny the second part of that, he said. Funny, I think if anything was going to subject Krusty the nasty Nazi gnome to blackmail threats, it would be her shameless romping with a notorious sex pest. Yeah. Oh, dear. A spokescriep for Krusty said, Ms. Nome is devastated. The family was blindsided by this,
Starting point is 01:15:00 and they asked for privacy and prayers at the time. This all was relayed to the New York Post. Oh, yep, there's. the picture. Somebody has a bit of a booby pettish, but there's also pictures of Brian Nome in costume
Starting point is 01:15:43 as Uncle Sam standing next to Krusty in Lady Liberty cosplay. Good God, that's gross. I can't even laugh at this. The goddess of irony, however, has been paying
Starting point is 01:16:13 attention. It was 2022 when Krusty gave an interview to Elysian and said, We're such a transparent family. We're an open book. It's a heck of a story. Brian Nome, by the way, is not some poor little half-star of trans girl. He's made a small fortune in the insurance industry.
Starting point is 01:16:50 And apparently sent around $25,000 by a cash app and PayPal to women with big busts and said you have amazing curves one woman he said he would worship like a goddess and said to her you turn me into a girl should I put on leggings
Starting point is 01:17:17 the New York Post said but the Daily Mail spoke to national security experts who surmised her husband's alleged proclivities could have left the former DHS secretary who was fired last month vulnerable to potential blackmail. Well, apparently she wasn't blackmailed.
Starting point is 01:17:50 At least not over that. Maybe over the, you know, $220, what was it, $220 million she spent cost playing? It's a hell of a lot more than $25,000 to pay to a sex worker for saying that she'd feminize you. Funny how this is getting so much attention when, in fact, the vice president of the United States. has multiple photographs of him in drag.
Starting point is 01:18:38 To the best of my knowledge, Brian Nome has never been seen with like permanent eyeliner. But here we are. I wonder if when this story broke, though, I can't help myself. I wonder if a thrill of envy went through the J.D. Egg's soul. Yeah. Miss Nome is devastated. Yeah, sure she is. She's probably so devastated that she's riding Corey Lewandowski like a pony right now.
Starting point is 01:19:29 Eh, whinny for me, Corey, whinny for me. Cory, you want a sugar cube? Oh, that's gross. That's just gross. Stop it, Roxanne. Stop it. You stop it this instant. While he was worried about...
Starting point is 01:19:58 his 14th Amendment birthright citizenship case today nitwit Nero is even more pissed at the National Trust because they took nitwit Nero to court over his tacky-ass ballroom and they got a preliminary
Starting point is 01:20:20 injunction that halted all construction hey National Trust stoke the stroke y'all stoke the stroke yeah he triped bitterly the National Trust for historic preservation
Starting point is 01:20:39 sues me for a ballroom that is under budget ahead of schedule being built at no cost to the taxpayer and will be the finest building of its kind anywhere in the world. I then get sued by the demo with the renovation of the dilapidated and structurally
Starting point is 01:20:58 unsound former Kennedy Center now the Trump Kennedy Center. Well, all I'm doing is fixing, cleaning, running, and spursing up a terribly maintained for many years building but a building of potentially great importance.
Starting point is 01:21:13 You know, I think sometimes, especially when one is close to a former language, maybe it was because he was hanging out with Fred, you know, primarily raised by his filthy Klansman daddy who had been raised by a German immigrant
Starting point is 01:21:29 pimp, his daddy. Maybe that's why we get these strange constructions in the sentences. because, well, we all know that I've been, oh gosh, I'm 340-some, no, no, 400 and, yeah, I think 418 or 419 days into my study of German, I'm almost to the end of A2. Like Mark Twain, I've reached the point where I can walk up to the bartender and say, It's by glass bita. and like Twain's friend
Starting point is 01:22:15 I too should rather decline two drinks than one German adjective but not the the constructions are so the grammatical all Jesus a terribly maintained for many years building but a building of potentially great importance and then he griped about radical left group of lunatics who wasn't suing Jerome Pallel
Starting point is 01:22:51 for restoring the Federal Reserve. Oh, he was deeply, he was deep in tantrum mode earlier today. Or have they sued on Governor Gavin Newsom's Railroad New Scum's railroad to nowhere in California that's billions over budget and probably will never open or be used to the White House ballroom
Starting point is 01:23:13 and the Trump Kennedy Center, which are under budget ahead of schedule and will be among the most magnificent buildings of their kind anywhere in the world, get sued by a group, that was cut off by government years ago, but all of the many disasters in our country are left alone to die. Doesn't make much sense, does it?
Starting point is 01:23:35 No, Tangerine Tiberius, you don't make a lick of sense, because, well, your tertiary neurocophilus is really moving into high gear. Stoke the stroke, stoke the stroke. There's a great day of coming. and I'm not going to argue Reverbo says this is so amazing we've turned into ancient Rome Trump is the modern version of Caligula
Starting point is 01:24:17 and his supporters repulsive yeah and by the way if you were to see the tripe that he wrote about birthright citizenship you realize he did not write that tripe that was written for him it had to have been written for him
Starting point is 01:24:35 reverbo by a, well, hairless hydric, you know, mayonnaise-mouthed Miller. Oh, no, no, Michael, I'll get your point entirely. Going back to the Colorado case, Micah says, also the thing is, you cannot tell me the release of this decision on this day wasn't fucking intentional. Of course it was. The cruelty is the point. God, it, mighty. I guess Daddy has heard about the Gnome family scandal, speaking to the Daily Mail, and he said, They confirmed it?
Starting point is 01:25:42 Well, well, I feel badly for the family. If that's the case, that's too bad. I haven't seen anything. I don't know anything about it. That's too bad, but I just know nothing about it. Meanwhile, there are photographs of him sniffing behind me. the ears of Rudy Giuliani
Starting point is 01:26:07 met in San Francisco long ago straightened me out well no I didn't straighten me out but corrected me when I said Rudy Giuliani and drag and no Roxanne that is not that is not drag
Starting point is 01:26:20 that is Rudy Giuliani a man in a dress hopefully well someone is you really can't tripe that stuff that daddy over on his very own platform but you know he's been
Starting point is 01:26:34 restored over on that platform that used to be known as Twitter, people could certainly send him pictures of him and Rudy in that moment. And what kind of indiscreet comments could Brian Nome have made about Krusty? I mean, she's horrible all by herself. She's the one that wrote the book bragging about blowing away a little cricket in the gravel pit. and then that poor goat the poor goat you know just down the road from me
Starting point is 01:27:18 and I actually I was coming home a couple of days ago and I stopped the car and I just watched because it was so charming little itty bitty tiny okay so there's a sandstone rock outcrop on the hillside not far from my house and they keep chickens
Starting point is 01:27:40 and by the way Miss Myrtle has returned she's waiting for the rehabilitation of Miss Henrietta. But I stopped because there were little baby goats and they were just standing there on the tiniest little ledge of rock outcrop of that sandstone outcrop there on the hillside. And they were cavorting and jumping and bounding about and, oh, it was just so adorable. And then I started laughing because I realized what was, What was tickling my funny bone was the fact that it was like the,
Starting point is 01:28:18 it was the closest thing I'd ever seen in real life to that scene from, this is Spinal Tap, where the dwarves dance around the tiny stonehenge. In this case, the sandstone outcrop was doing stand-in work for the ginormous mountains out west where you can see a mountain goat just standing on a long. edge and the how in the fuck did you get there right but i did i giggled it was it was just so cute and since it is titanic tuesday and on titanic tuesday we do take note of manifestations of titanic right-wing intellect well how about a uh giant forehead matt it just gates work sighting.
Starting point is 01:29:42 Oh, dear. Yeah, Matt doesn't have much to do with his time anymore, so he showed up with Lil Benny Johnson on Lil Benny's monumentally stupid little webcast where Matt Gates, who never had the clearance for any of this sort of thing, declared that, well, you know how from time to time,
Starting point is 01:30:15 I'll use the phrase, they walk among us. Well, apparently, a big giant head feels the same way. Somehow I think he's one of the ones who walk among us. That is not a human noggin. No, the hell not it isn't. I think the most important information will be the biologics that are not human, that have been discovered. And like, even some of the briefings that aren't classified just need to be out in the public. I mean, I had someone come and briefed me who was in a military uniform, worked for the United States Army,
Starting point is 01:30:56 that was briefing me on the locations of hybrid breeding programs where captured aliens were breeding with humans to create some hybrid race that could engage in intergalactic communication. Really intergalactic communication? Come on. It's Matt Gates. He's thinking about intergalactic. and I'm sure he's willing to snort multiple rails of Viagra and chug lots of Red Bull so he can party all night long with the aliens. You know, I don't know if Alex Jones has heard about this, but he's liable to send a nasty Graham to little Benny Johnson telling him to cease and desist and stop working his, Alex Jones's corner. An actual uniform member of the United States Army, brief me on that.
Starting point is 01:31:47 non-human biologics, interracial alien mating? What the F is going. Wait a second. You had whistleblowers tell you this kind of thing? Do you please unpack that? Yeah, I had a guy who was uniform. He was a senior enlisted with the United States Army. He came into my office in Cresby, Florida in a non-classified setting.
Starting point is 01:32:11 I had members of my staff there. And what they... So it was a non-classified setting. So that meant that you weren't exactly taking him seriously, and you were trying to get one of your staffers close enough to see if you could smell the gin on the dude's breath. But, okay, go ahead, Matt Gates. Explained is that the military ran a very secret program where aliens that were living were enforced breeding programs with humans that had been abducted from war zones and from even the caravans of,
Starting point is 01:32:47 of migrants. And was the breeding alien? Was anybody calling him Jeffrey, perhaps? Anything to divert from the Epstein Files, the Trumpstein files, anything at this point. You know, Benny Johnson,
Starting point is 01:33:12 if you really want to work this side of the street, you're way behind the curve, honey. I mean, you haven't even gotten to the monkey jellyfish hybrids from the wet markets of old Calhoun. Now, again, I didn't verify this, but what the whistleblower was telling me is that there were, like, between six and 12 locations around the country where this happened, and what he wanted was a group members of Congress to all show up at the same time at all of these different locations so that any of those activities could not be moved. And of course,
Starting point is 01:33:51 it's a physical impossibility to get members of Congress to simultaneously show up at like eight locations at one time. And so that never occurred. What do you mean non-human biologics? Well, that was the testimony of David Grush before the House Oversight Committee, which I joined. And the testimony was that in crashes of craft that had been recovered by the CIA and through a special program that the CIA had for... Somebody's been watching Independence Day while whacked out of their mind. Remember the alien looking at President Jeff Daniels and saying, I want you to die?
Starting point is 01:34:36 Remember that? For crash recovery, that it wasn't just the hard materials. It was also biologics, but that they couldn't identify a human source of those biologics. Yeah. Interestingly, where the visual is concerned, during the entirety of this conversation for lack of a better term they've got a a a graphic up on the one hand showing a shorter gray alien and to the right of the shorter gray alien is a Caucasian a shaven-headed Caucasian appears to be female because
Starting point is 01:35:31 because the Brestuses are just out of the frame. They walk among us. But again, like I said, I mean Matt Gates, not the aliens. I think it was a lot more fun. It was a lot more fun when Kate McKinnon did it. And not only that, more believable. Don't quit your day job, Matt. And this is Special Agent Kirkpatrick.
Starting point is 01:36:31 Now, we know you've all been through quite an... ordeal. So we appreciate you making the trip to Washington on such short notice. Yes, you three experienced the first verified case of alien abduction. So naturally, you are great interest to the United States government. It's nuts, man. I mean, we're just small-town buds. You saw a UFO in the woods. I mean, now we're hanging out with the government. Okay. Now, after the blue light pulled you into the spacecraft, what is your next memory? I came to and saw a beautiful being made of like a beautiful calming light.
Starting point is 01:37:04 You, same here. That being touched my head, and I felt every emotion in its purest form. It was amazing, and I cried, sir. Okay, and you, Miss Rappertie? Wow. What floor were you guys on? I woke up in a dirty metal dome,
Starting point is 01:37:22 and 40 little gray aliens watched me pee in a steel bowl. And they took the bowl, walked out. Interesting. Were these beings also bathed in light? No, no, they were gray with big fat eyes, little mouths. They just stared while I peed. I don't think I was dealing with the top brass.
Starting point is 01:37:45 How did they instruct you to urinate? Was that telepathically? No, no, I woke up, I had to pee like a camel. So I started peeing, and one of the gray aliens slapped the wall and pointed at the bowl. So I got the hint I kind of ducked walked over, bolted in it. Yes, I see.
Starting point is 01:38:07 Now, when you all awoke were you clothed? I was wrapped in like a robe made out of warm, glowing energy. Yeah, like a blanket made out of pure love. Yeah, a little different for me. I had my shirt I came in with, but my pants were gone. So my coot-coot was out. It's full porky pig in it in a drafty dome.
Starting point is 01:38:37 Now, did you all stay on the same ship the entire time? Well, you know, my body did, but my consciousness was shown what lies beyond time and space. It was so beautiful. I'm sorry, I'm just crying about, just thinking about it a little bit. Do you need a tissue? What, no, I'm sorry, I just, I'll use my shirt. Um, the alien showed my mind the furnace of all creation, what, we would call God.
Starting point is 01:39:06 What? These fancy cats are seeing God. Meanwhile, I'm starting phase two, which is me sitting on a stool, while 40 gray aliens take turns gently batting my knockers in. Did y'all get the knocker stuff? No, no knocker stuff, sorry.
Starting point is 01:39:30 And did you feel threatened, Ms. Rafferty? No, no, no, no, no. about it they were in a line and then one by one they'd step up slap a knocker and then go to the line wait for another turn it didn't hurt it was like I'm sorry pardon me Sharon it's kind of like that no harm no foul I hurts I hurts perhaps they were collecting biological data no biologics felt super off the books I I swear to God there was one gray alien by a door just kind of... I think he was the lookout.
Starting point is 01:40:17 Look, it won my worst Wednesday night. How did the aliens return you all to Earth? Oh, I was carried down gently. I was carried down gently in a cradle of light placed into a soft bed of wallflowers. Yeah, yeah, the light laid me down like a baby in the meadow near my house. my house. I was smiling and weeping, tears a joy, sir. All right, well, now this missed me a little bit. Because my grand exit was out of what was basically like a big airplane toilet, okay?
Starting point is 01:41:04 Shoot, I dropped down seven feet onto the roof of a long John Silver's. They threw out my pants separately. They missed the roof. My slacks landed in a frickin' pine tree 30 feet away. So I had to just chill up there with my damn coot-cote and prune shooting her to the place opened up. And you got screwed. Oh, you think, Todd? Well, we'd like to take you guys for physical examinations now. Yeah, all right.
Starting point is 01:41:43 They're going to be any knocker stuff? Possibly. I'm sorry. No, no, don't be. Just be gentle because they're pretty banged up. Tell me about God. What's God's deal? I mean, I got no better explanation for where that clip from Big Giant Head came from.
Starting point is 01:42:06 When you think of head, think Big Giant Head. Just Christ. Back to Christy Known for a minute. Jeremy says, she knew all along. She's known for a long time. It was a marriage of convenience to hide who he was. I'll bet my last couple of bucks on that. Oh, I'm sure they had a.
Starting point is 01:42:29 I'm sure they had a grand time for a while. They probably both did like cowgirl cosplay together. And from Christopher, well, Dygummit. Doom's fake boobs! So very sad to see two people apart who deserved each other so much. Brian with his fake boobs and Krusty with her fake face, a match certainly made in the pineapple lake of fire.
Starting point is 01:42:58 So true. So true. And of course, what about the sex workers? Is there any thought for them? Okay. Maybe not. Hey, we are, we're into the third hour of the program. And we are down, let's see, what do we get to?
Starting point is 01:43:38 Gosh, we're down at the one week unfunded level as we finish this. Last program of March, $1,500. So that's amazing. And tomorrow, of course, we have Bruce and Karen's Memorial Challenge, and we can knock that down to 9, 12. Fingers crossed. Yeah, thanks for reminding me, Routes. This is just a giant WTF.
Starting point is 01:44:30 Eric the Dumber has revealed renderings of the Trump presidential library and museum yesterday over on the platform
Starting point is 01:44:54 formerly known as Twitter well Eric ran over there to X and posted his excrement over the past six months I have poured my heart and soul into this project with my incredible
Starting point is 01:45:07 team at Trump. This landmark on the water in Miami, Florida will stand as a lasting testament to an amazing man, an amazing developer, and the greatest president our nation has ever
Starting point is 01:45:23 known. Notice he doesn't mention anything about him being a great dad. These images have never been seen by the public until today. Enjoy. It's a giant glass tower overlooking
Starting point is 01:45:47 Biscayne Bay we haven't heard from wave in a while I got to wonder how will the how will the residents of the greater Miami area respond to something
Starting point is 01:46:03 that got awful and ugly it kind of looks like the tower that replaced the World Trade Center only it has Trump at the top and a an a phallic spike. These really are the tackiest people ever to be involved in American government.
Starting point is 01:46:39 And, you know, Barbara Bush thought the Regans were tacky. Or maybe Nancy thought the Bushes were tacky. It's something about a cowboy boot umbrella stand that I have somehow mercifully managed to forget. Jesus. Thanks, Ralphs. Well, perfect, Ralphs, perfect.
Starting point is 01:47:13 I think of it as the Sears Tower in Miami. Yeah, it can go bankrupt too. Big giant head, Stephen New York, says, I object. I don't see that his head is
Starting point is 01:47:31 particularly big. Now, his forehead, that's a whole different kettle of fish. Probably smells like it, too. Oh, dear. Secret Alien Hybrid Breeding Program. Good Lord. But, yeah, this is a conversation radio opinion.
Starting point is 01:48:03 I'd like to chime in. The Stress Line and the Discord line are both open. In the case of the stress line, 844-843-4676-844 The Horn. And the Discord, well, if you're already in there, You know how to get there. It's in the voice chat. Jump right in. And, oh, that's an interesting observation.
Starting point is 01:48:29 From Billable Rick. Krusty's husband, Brian, and Jerry Jr. are the same person. Oh, Becky. Oh, or. Did you notice Brian Nome sitting in the audience behind Krusty during her final congressional hearing appearances? Given that Brian knew that Krusty was a rompun. And that's a very good use of the term.
Starting point is 01:48:50 I'm proud of you. I didn't know you were studying hillbilly billable. A rompon with Corey the sex pest, and Congress members even asked questions about their adulterous relationship. It seems to me that he's a cuck, just like Jerry Falwell Jr. Barker! So has anyone ever seen Brian Nome and Jerry Jr. in the same room together? I can only conclude that Brian Nome and Jerry Jr. are the same person. you know what i'm going to treat that as uh i'm going to treat that as fact until we have
Starting point is 01:49:39 confirmation otherwise oh okay uh jeremy says no alex jones said during covid that covid and caffeine in the water returning the frogs gay oh wait a minute no i thought there was something in there about uh about uh the uh the drugs in the oh who can keep up okay a photograph from Cynthia of her in need of renovation kitchen yeah just try and get stuff out of the far
Starting point is 01:50:24 reach of this stinking cabinet especially the bottom one I can't without finding something to rake it out with oh my God you need one of those racks that hang from the hang from the kitchen ceiling and and and and and and
Starting point is 01:50:38 and S hooks and yeah okay fair enough yeah that lazy Susan right there will be the very thing for you Cynthia. I do. I get excited about kitchen renovations and things like that. I wish I could do something here. Well, that's my, no, Ralphs, that's my genuine artificial imitation theramine sound.
Starting point is 01:51:14 That's what that is. And from Dave in the Blind, Matt. Matt Gates and aliens. As we all know, Dave says, Matt Gates will only fuck the alien if she's under the age of 18 and he can pay her by Venmo. Fuck Trump and the rest of his fucking supporters. Here, here. Fuck Trump.
Starting point is 01:51:41 There's a great day of coming. Ah, geez. Bringing us back down to Earth. Jeremy notes, the administration today mentioned how they may cut senior eye care funding to help pay for the failed war. in Iran. It's
Starting point is 01:52:07 state isn't all the way down. Oh, here's a genuine horror story. It's well established here that I'm not a fan of AI. Well, here's one of the reasons why. The story is one of
Starting point is 01:52:56 50-year-old Angela Lips, L-I-P-PS, a grandma from Tennisstan. In the last few months, Ms. Lips spent five months in jail, lockdown, charged with a crime by people in, by, by, by, by, by, by, by, uh, in Fargo, North Dakota. Now, let's, uh, let's, let's be clear. Uh, Ms. Lips, Grandma Lips, had never even been. to Fargo, North Dakota.
Starting point is 01:53:54 But she was arrested in Tennessee on the 14th day of July, Bastille Day. Weeks earlier, a warrant for her arrest had issued in Fargo, over 1,000 miles away from where she lives in Tennessee, over charges of bank fraud. Well, it turns out that the ACABs in Fargo, North Dakota had used our partner agency's
Starting point is 01:54:37 facial recognition technology as an additional investigative steps independent of AI to assist in identification well they then I know nothing about North Dakota but they submitted their
Starting point is 01:54:54 report of investigation to the Cass County State Attorney's Office and they pursued extradition. Ms. Lips was arrested completely. I mean, this is Camus, the trial stuff. That was Camus, wasn't it? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:55:24 This all came from a, this information came out of a press conference recently. What a nightmare. And at a news conference, last. Tuesday. Investigator Fargo Police Department Chief Dave Zabalski said
Starting point is 01:56:07 well, the fact that we relied on face recognition technology from a neighboring agencies' AI system is part of the issue. At some point our partner agency over at
Starting point is 01:56:24 West Fargo purchased their own AI facial recognition system that we were not aware of at the executive level and we would not have allowed that to be used and it has since been prohibited. The technology
Starting point is 01:56:42 in question is by Clearview AI. They have scraped billions of photographs from the internet including social media and Clearview AI I identified Angela Lips of Tennessee as a potential suspect with similar features to whomever it was they thought they were after.
Starting point is 01:57:16 West Fargo Police shared that report with Fargo police. These two police agencies are working hammer and tongs to blame the other agency. And West Fargo didn't forward any charges, didn't have enough evidence to charge anybody for the fraud. Well, regardless of all of this, a black-robed judge in Fargo signed a warrant for Angela Lipps arrest, including nationwide extradition. They arrested her in Tennessee on the 14th day of July and held her for over three months in a Tennessee jail before North Dakota got around. to do in the extradition paperwork. And finally, in October, Tennessee law enforcement told the Cass County Sheriff's Office that they had Lips's extradition waiver.
Starting point is 01:58:26 She had charges hung on her for felony theft, felony unauthorized use of personal identifying information, among other things. Tennessee has never explained why they sat on the information for so long. Fargo police looking for somebody to blame for the love of God, said, yeah, we have been unable to determine based on available information if the length of time Ms. Lips was in jail in Tennessee before being transported to North Dakota was due to serving time for a probation violation
Starting point is 01:59:02 or if it was because she fought extradition. For her part, Ms. Lips said it was the first time I'd ever been on an airplane. I was terrified and exhausted and humiliated. Well, once she finally did get to North Dakota, she at least got a lawyer. And the lawyer showed that she had been in Tennessee, nowhere near North Dakota, during the time of the crimes. And then by December 12th, the state attorney's office there in North Dakota stands had told a Fargo gum shoe that the defense is. produced some potential exculpatory evidence. And then two days before Christmas,
Starting point is 02:00:03 the Fargo detective in question, as well as the state's attorney, and the judge who signed the fucking warrant, mutually agreed to dismiss the charges without prejudice to allow for further investigation. They turned her loose on Christmas Eve. Speaking to CNN, Ms. Lyft's lawyers, said the trauma, loss of liberty,
Starting point is 02:00:30 Reputational damage cannot be easily fixed. She said, I'm never going to go to North Dakota again. I'm just glad it's over. I'll never go back to North Dakota. Her lawyers say we believe that Angela's lengthy detention was unnecessary and should have been avoided with a proper investigation by law enforcement. Meanwhile, Chief Zubolsky there in Fargo said,
Starting point is 02:01:06 we've identified a couple of errors in our investigation, and they're trying to hang anything they possibly can on West Fargo. I suggest that the two law enforcement agencies clear a neighborhood and shoot it out on the streets. Our partner agency forwarded that information to our detectives, who then assumed wrongly that they had also sent in the surveillance photos with that photo ID.
Starting point is 02:01:49 Fargo police will no longer be sending or utilizing information from West Fargo's AI system because it's their own system. We don't know how it's run or how it's overseen. Yeah, I know. I know. Micah
Starting point is 02:02:06 just said, Chief among them that you arrested the wrong fucking person. Oh, I know, I know. I mean, the AI, I mean, it It cannot sin. It is without sin.
Starting point is 02:02:37 It cannot make mistakes. But now Fargo police say they'll work with state and federal authorities, including the North Dakota State and Local Intelligence Center. What is that, a fucking phone booth? Sorry, Kurt and John, no North Dakota slur intended there. going forward, all facial recognition identifications will be submitted to the Investigations Division Commander on a monthly basis so that we can keep a closer eye on this evolving technology. On a monthly basis?
Starting point is 02:03:24 So somebody else is going to do a month in the joint for no good reason. But, no, Chief Zubolsky said, I didn't submit surveillance photos associated with fraud cases to the North Dakota State and Local Intelligence Center in that phone booth that that Huzzy in West Virginia just mentioned. And then there's the months that... God damn, this woman needs a check for about $10 million drawn on the taxpayers of North Dakota.
Starting point is 02:04:13 In talking with Cass County and the state's attorney's office, There's not an easy mechanism for them to notify us if someone arrested on our felony warrant is into custody. We may even like have to do a daily review of the booking roster. Wow, so they don't do that? We're going to have to whittle through all of this kind of vast network of people and who's involved. And they're thinking about punishing the officers who were involved in this giant fuck-up. What I can tell you from what I know right now is that the persons involved are also very upset by this
Starting point is 02:05:01 because they pride themselves on their thoroughness No one wants to see someone detained arrested unnecessarily Ah, I knew I blew it! Damn it! The trial was Kafka! Not Camus! Camus is the stranger! Thank you, Billable! Yes. The thesis of that novel is that the authorities detained, jail, and tri-man without ever telling me what he was charged with.
Starting point is 02:05:30 A cautionary tale about the power of unchecked authoritarian law enforcement and its ability to deny people their basic rights. It would appear that Trump and Stephen Miller regard the trial not as fiction, but as a blueprint for effective law enforcement. The despicable acts committed by the authorities in the trial are not unlike those committed by ISIS in executing two American citizens on the streets of Minneapolis in January. Oh, my goodness, I'm halfway using my North Dakota accent,
Starting point is 02:05:55 just a regular talk-like. But the case is still open and active and the charges may be refiled if additional investigation supports doing so. Her lawyers, on the other hand, are saying, Officers knew that Angela was a Tennessee resident, and we've seen no investigation by officers to determine whether she traveled to or was in North Dakota at the time of the bank thefts. These are bank robberies. These aren't wire transfers. Instead, an officer used AI facial recognition as a shortcut for basic
Starting point is 02:06:44 investigation resulting in an innocent woman being detained and transported halfway across the country to answer for charges that she had nothing to do with. Oh, but, well, AI is the future, right? Right, yeah. And I, where is it? I think I just missed it. I was looking for a quote from whalehead dead bear brainworm lamprey because now I guess this this this gang of bloody-minded fascists has decided they want to kill some whales yeah and of course that that has whalehead dead bear brainworm lamprey all in a lab.
Starting point is 02:08:45 Just let me get my chainsaw. I'll be right back. There it is. Right. And speaking of North Dakota only moments ago, this has to do with Nitwit Niro's Interior Secretary, Doug Bergum, former governor of North Dakota Stan. According to the Washington Post, the Department of the Interior, wants to exempt oil and gas companies from the Endangered Species Act
Starting point is 02:09:32 when they're drilling in the Gulf of Mexico because they've got plans for a deep water horizon part dur, even bigger, batter, and more disastrous. Inside the Department of the Interior, they have a group that they call, and I'm not kidding, the God Squad. and they met earlier today for the first time in 30 years to approve
Starting point is 02:10:07 the exemption of oil and gas companies drilling in the Gulf the meeting lasted all of 15 minutes and as a result a whale called Rice's whale will face extinction
Starting point is 02:10:29 the Washington Post story says Trump official said the decision would protect critical domestic energy production at a time when global supplies are disrupted by the war with Iran. That's right. We're at war with Iran, so we got to kill the whales. No, really, I'll be right back with my chainsaw. It's the first time that an administration has sought a national security exemption since the passage of the 1973 Endangered Species Act. Seth Harp, an author who said, I'm currently working on a book project
Starting point is 02:11:21 about the Deepwater Horizon oil spill that took place 16 years ago. Please, God, do not let it suddenly become relevant to the news cycle. I guess they never saw Star Trek the Journey home, huh? Ricken they got any transparent aluminum? What the fuck is wrong with North Dakota? I mean, on Titanic Tuesday, you know, I used to do the bit at the beginning of showing.
Starting point is 02:12:02 Steve, how come it is the seashells in the rocks in West Virginia? I seen them when I was down in the coal mines. We ain't nowhere near the beach. Well, neither is North Dakota. Why should some tech bro asshole hold the fate of Rice's whale in his hands? Oh, yeah. Well, a little bit of good news earlier today. According to ABC News, the pilots, you know, I played the audio yesterday of the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter hovering by Kid Rock's southern White House as he jumped up and down like a dip shit and then saluted three or four times.
Starting point is 02:12:56 and the helicopter just hovered there next to his pool. Well, according to ABC News today, the crew who flew that helicopter have been suspended pending investigation. Well, during a press conference in the Oval Office earlier today, Peter Dushy, the Nepo Baby, from Fox News TV Radio Rwanda, asked Daddy about about the helicopter incident.
Starting point is 02:13:36 There was a viral video this week. I don't know if you saw Army helicopters hovering near Kid Rock's house in Nashville. Do you see that? I didn't see it now, but I'm sure they had a good time. Well, so if the Army just said the crews of these helicopters' defense is suspended. What do you think of that? What depends? Are they, well, they probably shouldn't have been doing it.
Starting point is 02:13:54 Yes, you're not supposed to be playing games, right? But I'd take a look at it. They like Kid Rock. I like Kid Rock. Maybe they were trying to defend them. though. Does Iran have to make a deal? Defend him?
Starting point is 02:14:08 Against what? A case of but light? Jesus. Damn. You know, there was Angela Lips kept in the joint for five months. News today
Starting point is 02:14:44 from a law firm in Utah saying that they intend to sue the U.S. government for the torment of a young Venezuelan fellow they sent him off to the shithole in El Shittholador
Starting point is 02:15:11 and said and the firm is Parker and McCuncle the lawyer is Brent Ward our client is a young Venezuelan man who came into the U.S. legally to escape threats of violence by the Venezuelan government against his family for their opposition to the Maduro regime. The young man is referred to by a pseudonym Johnny Hernandez.
Starting point is 02:15:45 Wants $56 million in damages and has no criminal record either in the U.S. or in Venezuela. Good. I hope he gets every penny. Lawyer Ward said the Trump administration knowingly and unlawfully locked up an innocent person for four months in a concentrate. camp like prison. I think you can take the like off of there. That's doing too much work. In a concentration camp prison where he suffered torture, shooting,
Starting point is 02:16:20 beatings, and solitary confinement, when the U.S. government knowingly and purposely violates the law by detaining and deporting innocent individuals on false charges and is not held responsible, the individual rights of not just legal immigrants, but all Americans are placed in jeopardy. That's fine. We'll let him...
Starting point is 02:16:39 All Americans, yes, but he needs the $56 million. Frankly, I wouldn't be bothered if he got $112. Our client suffered catastrophic injuries in Seacott from which he will never fully recover. Failing to demand accountability now places all Americans in jeopardy in the future. This all happens, and I'm sure Gina is aware of this, the ice goons want to put up a concentration camp warehouse right smack dab in Salt Lake City where they can
Starting point is 02:17:18 where they can imprison 10,000 detainees for whatever reason yeah and that's another that's the second such case another individual Leon Orengell is only looking for $1.3 million
Starting point is 02:17:48 in damages in the U.S. legally when he was kidnapped by the ice goons and sent off to El Shitt Holodor meanwhile at that concentration camp a Salvador investigative journalism outlet El Faro
Starting point is 02:18:10 they've been tormented by the El Shitt Holodorian government has reported that conditions at Seacot are so bad that at least one of their one of their sources says that the torture victims there are committing suicide out of desperation. Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 02:18:46 Somewhere along the way, I know you think I'm just an absolute polyana for this. Somewhere along the way, someone, some ones, and I think it should start with Niro need to pay in something. much more but money. Let's run over to the stress line and see who we've got there. Hey, welcome to the program. Hi, Robin. It's Jude. Hey, Jude. How are you?
Starting point is 02:19:22 Well, like so many of us, just, you know, finding complicated times. But this kind of fits in with what you've been talking about. I was listening to Hartman's program this morning, and he brought up about a two-year-old that was having medical problems down in Dilley, detention in Texas. Yeah. So it kind of was, I was working, so I didn't have the opportunity. And I just got off the phone. I had called directly Dilley's detention site down there in Texas. And although they wouldn't give me, you know, any information,
Starting point is 02:19:57 the woman did give me a website for, I think it's core civic, you know, like the GEO group that manages. And then they also gave me a telephone number. So I chose the call. And I got a really receptive gentleman that let me know. The name of that, it's called EQS. And it's an independent reporting service. And they're not, he said, you know, there's nothing specifically, you know, we can do,
Starting point is 02:20:28 but I will take, you know, your information. So I told him about Tom, you know, Tom's program, and I heard about the two-year-old. And I said, you know, I'm a retired nurse. I've done many things. and one of the one time was being in a pediatric hospital for a period of time. And I said, I've always honored and respected my licensure. And I said, hearing about a two-year-old is having medical conditions, I said, I just have to speak out.
Starting point is 02:20:54 I said, it's that old vantage that, you know, I am my brother's keeper. So we went through a series of questions, and he wrote out exactly what my concerns were. And I didn't have specifics on the name or the time, but I just, you know, it's so small things that so often people feel that were ineffective. But at the end of that, I ended up, they said you can be either anonymous to give your name. And I chose to give my name and my cell phone number and my email address. and he sent that on to core civics, which and then gave me a code. I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, Robin, but where are we? I mean, where are we right now?
Starting point is 02:21:44 Where are we? Either we make a difference or we don't. I can't be scared and frightened anymore. You know, I'm going to be 78. So, you know, I'm thinking about not just, I mean, the two-year OBS, but the parents, that they're removed from him, you know, or her in that detention site. I'm sorry I'm outside because, you know, calling in is not my easiest thing to do. But I just felt it was really important, you know, to make a statement.
Starting point is 02:22:17 Yeah, yeah, and I was not criticizing you. I just worry about you. You know, these are the kind of goons that show up in the middle of the night and people disappear. Well, you know, I have. It's not tattooed on my arm, but I have Mikey Weinstein, who's my dear brother. I have his number memorized, and he said, if you ever need me, I'm there. But I wanted just to put out to people that there are small actions that we can do. You know, it's like coming back from the Snow King process.
Starting point is 02:22:51 It was almost like 80,000 in Seattle. And, you know, I left with a friend of mine. And I said, well, you know, that's that. But then I come back home, not being with thousands of people. You know, how do I live my life? How do I go to bed at night thinking, have I done the most I can do? You know, if I think about my little tiny, you know, great-grandchildren, if there was just one person, sorry, forgive me. I have to have pressure on.
Starting point is 02:23:26 Oh, that's okay. Yeah, not a lot of muffler laws there in the Great Northwest I take it. No, there's not. And I'm on the small road next to a high school. It's supposed to be a 25-mile-hour zone. So it's... But I would want someone, you know, to be able to step in and be a voice for if I needed someone to support one of my great-grandkids. So that was the action that, you know, that women's standing did today.
Starting point is 02:23:59 So I felt comfortable and open to be a... able to talk with you about that. Well, I'm glad you did. And, I mean, I'm glad we know. And I hope, I mean, I was okay until I heard core civic, Jude. Oh, yes, yeah. Or GEO. I mean, that's who manages the detention center here down in the tight spots of Tacoma.
Starting point is 02:24:22 You know, they tried, you know, our city council thought they wanted to expand that facility and they stopped it. And there's all these small actions so close. close to home. And I think that's where we become the most effective. It's like when we step outside or front door, what is the closest thing that I can make a difference to? And today it happened to be for that two-year-old. Yeah, absolutely. Anyway, thank you for your ongoing effort to, you know, provide a way for us to hear different things.
Starting point is 02:24:59 And for all the wonderful friends that you've connected me with. I'm so glad. And I hope you know how loved you are within this. community, Judd? I guess so. You know, I mean, that's a lovely thing to say. Like I said, I'm grateful to the few personal connections I have with people, you know, talking on the phone or texting or email addresses. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:25:33 Well, first and foremost, be and stay safe. That must have been a stirring thing. to behold going to the No King's Rally there? I mean, did you go to the one in Seattle? Oh, yes, yeah. Yeah, we were there. We were there for about five hours. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:25:52 A lot of, I was gifted with a beautiful woven scarf from Jerusalem quite some time ago. So I wear that, you know, just in solidarity. And I ran across another young man who had, he didn't have it over his head, he had around his neck and came up with just deep, a deep sense of, not gratitude, but a connectiveness. And a lot of young people, which was really encouraging, because one of the things I found at work, you know, I don't get into politics to try to, you know, challenge people. But I did ask a couple of young fellows today. I said, did you attend the protest? and the protests this weekend. One of them said protests.
Starting point is 02:26:40 What are you talking about? He had absolutely no idea. And then what really got me, he didn't even have any idea what was going on in Iran. And so I looked at him and I said, well, you know, it's a good thing that you have all the people in their lives that are trying to make changes. Yeah, I still have.
Starting point is 02:27:01 You know, I always don't want to. Honestly, I can't fathom something like this illegal filthy war and anyone being unaware of it. It's mind-boggling. I mean, it's absolutely mind-boggling. Do they buy gasoline? Do they think that gasoline just goes up to $6 a gallon for all of it? Well, you know, that's curious.
Starting point is 02:27:26 You said that because the second person I asked, well, you know, I've been wondering about gas. I said, well, maybe you better look into that, you know, do you think? Because I want, you know, I want my work to be, you know, because I'm about cleaning and cleansing, and in the midst of it, I'm afforded just this bad opportunity to be cared for and have this yin and yang flow of giving and receiving, you know, that fine balance to hold it. But then there's also times, you know, that one has to kind of step out. So I said, you know, I'll talk with you tomorrow.
Starting point is 02:28:01 And, you know, I have been reading, I have a subscription for the Atlantic. and I have also taken on the economist, and the economist was, you know, the cover a few months ago that I shared, I sent you a photo of. It was that young woman that was picked up, you know, going to a mental health screening, and they, you know, cut her seatbelt off. That photo journalist that captured that photo. Here there's four, there's five ice agents. Four of them are holding her extremities. her belly down and she's looking up, and the ice agent to the right of her holding her arm has his right arm pushing against that photojournalist trying to stop that vision. I have lots of magazine, but I would love to write to him and tell him what a capturing moment that was.
Starting point is 02:28:56 So I had that blown up into a huge poster board on both sides. The only difficulty with it when the individual from work helped me put the sign together was extremely heavy to carry. But between the two of us, my friend, we kept it going. And there were numerous individuals that had come up and acknowledged, you know, what that meant. And then as we would stand off to the side, if I would see, like, veterans' teeth, their beautiful, you know, white flight with the dove, or I would see individuals, And pretty much all of them that were holding ice signs, you know, iceouts and all of that.
Starting point is 02:29:36 You know, I would filter in and walk with them. But again, you know, I come home. Yeah, well, I come home and I come home to a home. You know, I have food and I'm safe and all of that. So it challenges me to really have, like I said, you know, when I step outside every morning, it's like what is before me and what difference can I make? you know, the closest to my home. Like so many of us, Robin.
Starting point is 02:30:06 I mean, you know, this isn't unique. My journey. No, but making a difference is a central aspect of your life, and people could learn from that. I wanted to mention one story to you. This is from a couple of weeks back. And, you know, you do live in a civilized state. Yes, yeah. I was glad to see this.
Starting point is 02:30:28 There's a guy named, you may have even seen this in the news. A couple of weeks back, he was convicted of second-degree assault and committing a hate crime for an attack he perpetrated last year against a trans woman there in Seattle, in the University District, the University of Washington area. She was walking to a Seattle Mariners, she was walking to a Seattle Mariners baseball game as this guy's started shouting insults at her, called her a drag queen, then came up and punched her in the mouth when she started recording. Witnesses said multiple attackers then punched and kicked her
Starting point is 02:31:14 while shouting anti-trans slurs. She had broken teeth, facial injuries, and a brain bleed before she finally got away to help. Well, that's a horror, and it's a horror, not just trans women, but women in general live with every day. you know, being attacked by some random man. But the bottom line is he was found guilty on the two counts. He will do prison time.
Starting point is 02:31:43 He was convicted under the hate crime. The prosecutors said that in the jail cell, Carlos said, well, if I didn't hate trans people before, I do now, absolutely. I think that Donald Trump should kill them all. Get them out of here. They're weird. So, you know, this monster believes in the death penalty for whatever he thinks is weird. But he's gotten away with the past.
Starting point is 02:32:16 He punched a transgender fare ambassador for the sound transit when he was asked to verify his fair. so now he will hopefully go to prison and the reason I bring this up is that at least the judicial system of the state of Washington wanted to try to achieve justice for the victim in this case in a state like West Virginia or Alabama he'd be given a medal
Starting point is 02:32:48 and I must say Robin I was not familiar with that And look how close, you know, that's like 34 miles to my home. I was not aware of that case. But, again, at least they're making, at least they've got a law and they're willing to enforce it. It is, you know, I am very fortunate to live in Washington. And, you know, in Oregon and California, I mean, it just is, it is a place. You know, I have a nephew, and he says, you know, Judy says, you know, maybe Canada and the West Coast had, you know, become independent. intended in its own, but I'm not about separating.
Starting point is 02:33:31 But, yeah, Washington has killed its own. You know, when Trump came in and wanted to do that Muslim ban, Purbetson, who is now a governor, who was the Attorney General, was one of the first to file suit against the administration. There's so much, and it's, you know, trying to define it, you know, again, And again, I don't mean to be redundant, but coming outside one's front door, what can we take care of close to home? And that's how we build these blocks that help, you know, kind of hopefully sustained. And it might not make any difference at all that call today.
Starting point is 02:34:12 But, you know, for me, it's not something easy. I don't, you know, I have to really prepare myself before I make steps. And, you know, because, you know, one puts themselves on the line. But, you know, I'm not in Gaza. I'm not in, you know, I'm not in Iran. You know, I'm able to talk to you freely for that. It's that old line, you know, much has been given, much will be expected. So that's kind of my mantra.
Starting point is 02:34:42 And you know what? You live it every day, Jude. You live it every day. Well, I'm so glad you went. I'm so glad you're safe. And I want you to stay that way. And you know what? I do nothing but honor.
Starting point is 02:34:56 and take pride in knowing someone with the courage that you have each and every day of your life. Well, thank you, pal. Thank you. We do it, you know, we do it collectively. You know, I listened to you. There was a period of time that I had to disconnect with everything, but, you know, I've come back to the horn the past few weeks. And, you know, I really especially appreciate that first hour when you talk about specifics. Like I wrote you yesterday about that, you know, black, you know, black cock helicopters.
Starting point is 02:35:26 that went into Kid Rock, and you already brought that up. That to me was stunning. I had some extensive dialogue with Mikey Weinstein a while back because he's inugated with just, you know, his death threats and things that go on. And, you know, we've known each other like for 20 years. Right. You know, and that's an honorable and wonderful, wonderful friendship.
Starting point is 02:35:52 And I have shared with him and Bonnie as to the difference ever have ever, if there's ever a place where there's a barricade that goes up and we have to stand, you know, I will stand right next to those that I have come to know throughout my life. And that's how, you know, how I view in the midst of such darkness that every so often there is a ray of light that comes across. So thank you for the time. And I think this is one of the more easier conversations I've been able to, from my perspective, because you've always been open and gracious. The times I've called,
Starting point is 02:36:31 sometimes I probably sounded kind of crazy or out of breath or nervous. But, you know, as I get older, I understand the responsibility. We never know when our time's going to leave this mortal coil. So I want to make sure that every day is filled with as much as I can do. and your program and the friendship that, you know, with you and an Ness that I've had for long, you know, continues on. So for that, I reside in a will of gratitude. It's a beautiful manifestation of spirit, Jude. It truly is.
Starting point is 02:37:15 And I hope you have a lovely evening. And, well, don't be a stranger. You do call in, and we do just fine. We do, I know it Cush, you know Who would have thought? I know Okay
