Head-ON With Robyn Roxanne Kincaid - Head-ON With Roxanne Kincaid. Wednesday. Yeah, definitely Wednesday, 8 July 2026

Episode Date: July 9, 2026

We.Are.Impervious! <grin> Been raining all day, but the roof is tarped. And, Do Jesus, Dill Harris, but what a day! Nitwit Nero on the loose in NATO. Graham Platner's campaign corkscrews into the dirt. And then, and thennnnnn . . . a new birth of crazy. 

The password is impervious. It's showtime. Here we go, live from behind the corn phone curtain. It's head-on with Roxanne Kincaid. Three hours of cussin and discussing with America's only liberal transvilly elitist right here, right now, on the head-on radio network. Brought to you in part by Cole River Mountain Watch,

who invites you to be part of the uprising against mountaintop removal, CRMW.net. And now, from high in the hills of West by God, Virginia, here she is. Roxanne Kincaid. Well, howdy. And here we go, off and running on this eighth day of July, 2026. This is the horn head-on. Live, is where you'll find us on the interweb tubes.

That's where you go. If you'd like to be part of the Merry Wacky's Annie Realtime Madcap Multimedia, extravaganza that is the horn chat room in the three hours in which this program is live Monday through Friday, 5 to 8 p.m. Eastern daylight time, 2 to 5 p.m., Pacific daylight time, all time zones in between, and the Great Globe round, and whatever time it is when you're listening to the podcast, if you're a member of the podcasting contingent of the Horn Family Community Congregation, well, thank you so very kindly for joining us in that fashion. I love hearing from you throughout the day.

Whenever you do hear the program and something strikes your, well, not someone strikes you fancy, but something moves you to communicate. I am. I love hearing from you. And if you're listening live, I'm terribly glad to have you alongside so that I'm not howling into the void, and we can enjoy the interchange of information in real. time. Here, let's just deal with the password right

quick, impervious. Probably has multiple applications this evening, but in my case, it refers to the fact that it has poured the rain here all day long and not a drop has entered the studio. Nope, not a drop

because the TARP guys, and this why I wasn't on air yesterday, for those of you who didn't see the notices that I posted all over social media. Yeah, I was... The TARP guys were here, and they worked for a couple of hours, and it would have been impossible to do the program

because you would have heard, boom, boom, boom, boom, you know, as they strode back and forth across the roof. And then there was the... bam, bam, bam, bam, of them installing the tarp. And, you know, I had gone and bought the tarps. I had one tarp left over. I am so stinking happy.

Because, you know, you never know when you're going to need one. So I've got an extra. Yay. But we are impervious to the rain here in the fabulous horn studios, the magnificent Kincaid Mansion. And it is an absolutely lovely 69 degrees here in the, aforementioned studio. Did I do the hi I'm Roxanne part yet?

Hi, I'm Roxanne. And, well, it's prayer meeting Wednesday here. We've got a Jim Dandy prayer meeting story. And by that, I mean, it's absolutely disgusting and horrifying. But beyond that, we've got other things to go into. Nitwit Niro is out and about in the world, and nobody really knows. what's going on with his brains.

I know, I know, I know, Miss Micah. Be careful of words and declarations like that, she says. We call those Murphy invocations for a reason. I'm well familiar, but it's just so nice to not be terrified that the whole thing's going to fall apart. I had a, you know, I dream rather vividly. and I had a I had a dream because this has been terribly stressful for me

I don't I don't mean to make it sound like it but it has been it's been kind of awful so I had a dream a little while back I was here in the studio I was doing the program and

the wall of the studio just went boom and then the other wall went And then the other wall behind me went, and I was basically just broadcasting in the great outdoors. My subconscious is sometimes problematic. Jeremy, really, Robin, do you think our memory is so short that you had quite a few programs at Victoria's apartment and just said, sorry when there was a noise and carried on.

Yeah, that was not the same sort of noise. This was noise. you know, that was a little noise here and a little noise there, and then it was gone by the first half hour of the program. And it's nice to know that when the lads start to barkin, Brother Deaconesa said, you all not really hear that. That's nice. But, yeah, this was not that.

The juvenile delinquents, I tell you what, they get started early with every program. but I'm getting ahead of myself. Every program at the horn begins with gratitude, and this program is no difference. So thanks go out to our 8th and 7th day of the month subscribers via PayPal. And that means thank you, Marsha, so very much. And thanks as well to Ralphs.

And thank you, James. Thank you all for being partial sponsors of the program. let me tell you where we stand relative to July. It's the first time we've been in a good place in a very, very long time. No, not that way, not the good place like that. I love that show. That's one of those shows Victoria turned me on to, and it was like, ah. No, that was great.

We are in a good place, though, because we have half of July to fund, and we have more than half of July to fund. it in. So the remainder of July, $3,000 to finish July fully funded. And if we just keep plugging away, well, if we met the daily funding goal today, tomorrow, Friday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, we'd be on track for some serious

fundraising-free radio to close the month. And I would love that so very much. Thank you, a kind anonymous friend. Thank you very much. So I'm going to get the fabulous Horn Studios cute little pink pen out. And we will just write here. Okay. Uh-huh.

There, there, there. And strike that and there. There, there, and there. And so we are at 29-8. to finish the month of July fully funded. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. And Lee says it was not a Murphy's invocation. A Murphy's invocation is always a future reference.

Classic examples, it can't get worse. It's smooth sailing from here. Your statements were past and present. So it would be lovely if the goddess of irony and Mr. Murphy left me alone. I would be absolutely. delighted with that so that that that's all of that so 2980 to finish July fully funded and the lupine pest is off pestering someone else for the time being we'll have a nicely and my god it's just the editorial comment I'm just curious here I sometimes I do things you know on on the fly on the program just to see because I get a... Let's see here.

Huh. Some of the gun. They're still selling that Ondura trash. And when the guys got up there, they were like, what's this stuff? And I said, well, that's called on Dura. It's some sort of nylon or vinyl over asphalt. And it was supposed to last a lifetime.

and he looked at me and said well I guess this roof paid to that one I was like yeah I know and where do I file the warranty claim because parts of it parts of it he just well he pushed off the roof with a with a broom yeah it was mm-hmm Yeah. Oh, Jesus. Billable Rick, you cannot be regressing into your juvenile delinquency. Stop it.

See what you guys do? Come on, Kincade. Stop concocting reasons for not working. We all know you played hooky yesterday with the workmen installing the tarp on the roof. You bought the rock gut, rot gut tequila up to the roof, and you all term sipping the tequila out of the swirly straw. How does your hangover feel today? by god billable i'll have you know i am fine as frog's hair split four ways for shame and it was gin it was ngronies if you must know

i'm kidding i'm kidding but at any rate yeah uh and uh let's see i have been absolutely bedeviled by the weather um hell are high water uh some smoking to do and that's I got two porch holders and and a brisket to do before I head to Parker's work on Saturday so that that's a thing I can enjoy that I was weed eating and well I did a lot of weed eating and mowing yesterday and I was doing some more today and then the thunderstorm came along and I decided to well I decided to go inside because standing out in the yard in the middle of the lightning event whilst swinging a lightning rod is not conducive to the well-being of humble ostesses anywhere now where to start another lie detected frogs don't have hair

so you can't split them therefore the hangover must be killed no that's the thing is that's the thing jeremy fine as frog hair and yes they do it's extremely fine split four ways it can't get much finer than that do i have to explain everything around here. Sheesh. Let's see here. Okay, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll. There, scrolling. There. Golly Moses. On my former filthy morning habit, and this goes to the great big ginormous hoopla and I'm not trying to under-emphasize the issue but

by calling it hoopla but the the Graham Platner matter I'm feeling more and more like I got it right you know Dr. Christine Blasey Ford did not hide when she came out and leveled her accusations against beer boof and

Buhbubbibb a brat Kavanaugh and his lifelong buddies squee and quiff and of course she was subjected to a hell on earth concocted by the maggots well

earlier earlier the reporter who broke the story one Adam Wren of Tiger Beat on the Potomac Politico Charles Pierce coined that phrase

Charlie Pierce and he's he nailed it he's the co-author Adam Wren and in what I think was a strategic decision they decided to let Mika interview him

and I I swear you watch this interview clip and he looks like he's, the guy is squirming more than, well, he looks like he's trying to hold that, hold back a really, really prodigious fart. This is of evidence. So you've got conversations with her therapist and people who she confided in. Any conversations with Graham Platner at the time of it where she said, because apparently, as part of this story, she says she even confirmed to him that this was not consent. Do you have that? What do you have that actually connects this literally? Graham Plotner to raping this victim?

Yeah, she reached out to him the day after via Instagram and essentially, you know, told him that, you know, she didn't want to hear from again. She told him that morning as well. And, you know, we, we looked at messages that she had sent to others in the months after this happened through social media. But you were able to see those DMs? she tried to recover those DMs we did not we were not able to to review those DMs but she described them to us we also long before he was a public before he was a political candidate we saw her essentially explain to others that he was quote in her words consensually careless end quote and right but do you were you able to see the interactions between Graham Platner and this alleged victim, did you actually physically

to uncover them, she, but was unable to? So what are some of those corroborating pieces of evidence? So you've got conversations with her therapist and people who she confided in. Any conversations with Graham Platner at the time of it where she said, because apparently as part of this story, she says she even confirmed to him,

that this was not consent. Do you have that? What do you have that actually connects this literally? Graham Plotner to raping this victim? Yeah, she reached out to him the day after via Instagram and essentially told him that she didn't want to hear from again. She told him that morning as well. and, you know, we looked at messages that she had sent to others in the months after this happened through social media.

But you were able to see those DMs? She tried to recover those DMs. We were not able to review those DMs, but she described them to us. We also, long before he was a public, before he was a political candidate, we saw her essentially explained. to others that he was, quote, in her words, consensually careless. Consensually careless is not right. Right. Were you able to see the interactions between Graham Platner and this alleged victim?

Did you actually physically see them? Did she produce them for you? Squirm. She attempted to uncover them, but was unable to. So what are some of those corroborating pieces of evidence? So you've got conversations with her therapist and people who she confided in. Any conversations with Graham Platner at the time of it where she said, because apparently as part of this story, she says she even confirmed to him that this was not consent.

Do you have that? What do you have that actually connects this literally? Graham Plotner to raping this victim? Yeah, she reached out to him the day after via. Yeah, it keeps looping, but can someone please tell me what consensually careless means? Now, I want it understood. I'm not caping for this dude. He gave me the, he has long made my spidey sense tingle. Let's put it that way.

and that's why I said day before yesterday, charge him. Take it to a grand jury. You can you can enter, you can, you can elicit all the hearsay evidence in the world you want in front of a grand jury. You could bring her in. You could elicit, you could, you could elicit testimony about the hearsay testimony about the therapist. and it, well, it wouldn't, it wouldn't be illegal. Really? And then, as Flavio reminded me,

there was Lawrence O'Donnell, who himself addressed the issue on the seventh day of July, namely yesterday, with this. And up next, after this break, I will do my very first segment on this program on Graham Platner's campaign for Senate in Maine. This will be the first time I have anything to say about his candidacy in Maine. That's next. Because the United States military has been sent to war in Iran, by Donald Trump. And because Donald Trump is waging war on democracy in America every day,

and because Donald Trump is using the Trump Justice Department in an revenge campaign that we have never seen before, a revenge campaign of attempted false prosecutions, and because Donald Trump's federal invasion forces have tried to take over American cities and shot and killed American citizens who did absolutely nothing to deserve even a single shot fired in their direction. And because of the ongoing worldwide humanitarian disaster created by Donald Trump, destroying the United States Agency for International Development, leaving babies, children of all ages, their parents and grandparents to starve to death. And because also through the destruction of you,

Donald Trump has taken life-saving medication away from people in a program that had already saved 25 million lives in Africa, a program created by a Republican president. This hour of television obviously does not have enough time to cover the details of every political campaign this season and this year. And so we've been very careful about what can campaigns we have focused on here. And the reason that this program never once covered the Graham Platner campaign for Senate in Maine is that those other stories are more important and that that candidate did not appear to me to be the kind of candidate who could make it all the way to November.

And so I didn't want to waste this audience's attention on a candidate who might not even be there on election day. And at the same time, the Platner campaign was getting a tremendous amount of coverage everywhere else. And so it didn't really matter in the least whether we covered that campaign here or not. And no one noticed that we didn't. Whenever a new unknown candidate who has never been vetted in any way suddenly surges and creates pundit excitement, I always, from experience, just stay quiet and wait for the vetting. And I knew with a candidacy like Graham Platner that the vetting would come from the news media.

And so it has. And every stage of that vetting, every stage of it has been disturbing. I, for one, did not find any of Graham Platner's answers to questions about a Nazi tattoo or previous sexist social media comments or accusations by women who had relationships with him, all of which he denied to be credible at all. I didn't think any of his answers were credible.

And I'm in no position to say who is telling the truth in stories now told about Graham Platner by people who knew him, women who were alone in a room with him. I don't know what happened. But I know, and I've always known, that I cannot believe him. And saying that I never believed Graham Platner is simply a statement about his own credibility as he addressed these controversies. But his credibility problem for me was always much wider ranging than all of that scandal detail in the reporting about him. The image created by him and by the image created by the. Eager news media was of a humble, roughly educated oyster farmer in Maine who decided he was just

mad as hell and couldn't take it anymore. And he was going to step up and save Maine from Donald Trump and Susan Collins. And he could do it because he knew the struggles of the working people of Maine who were being ignored by the Republican policies of Susan Collins and Donald Trump. But he didn't. He's never known those struggles. His most obvious credibility problem to me from the start was saying, quote, I'm a working class guy that lives a working class life. He also said, I've never been close to money and power. And that was a lie. He's graduate of a private high school and his father is a rich lawyer, rich enough to give the maximum contribution to a Democratic senator, Ruben Gallego, who endorsed Graham Platner and who

who has now retracted that endorsement like every other senator who endorsed grand Plattner. Platner's grandfather was Warren Platner, who the New York Times describes as a celebrated architect who designed the dining room of windows on the world, the storied restaurant atop the the World Trade Center and offices for the Ford Foundation building. Before Mr. Platner was born, his grandfather also designed an expansive family estate in Connecticut that he said was inspired by a chateau in the Waugh Valley of France. Warren Platner is best known for a namesake line of furniture, including mid-century modern

easy chairs that today are priced starting at $15,000. And the oyster farmer thing is true, but it's not exactly the struggling version of oyster farmer. His mother owns a restaurant and is the biggest customer for his oysters. And here's what Graham Plattner knows about the affordability of housing. The New York Times reports property and tax records show he bought the home for $205,000 and received a $200,000 mortgage loan from his father. So his father bought him a house and his mother. buys his oysters. I found it very, very difficult to take Graham Platner's claims about himself

seriously after reading those facts about him, publicly available facts. But the enthusiasm kept building and building. And when the New York Times reported that he was really a rich kid, the image of honest oyster farmers somehow just miraculously held. Then came the women accusing him of being abusive and they were ignored by the Platner supporters and endorsers because Graham Platner denied the accusations. Then Monday, a woman offered detail of an encounter with Graham Platner that she said was non-consensual. And yesterday, that woman told Politico about a night in 2021 when Graham Platner was, quote, deeply intoxicated and forced himself on her while she repeatedly told him to stop. She said she cut off contact with him after telling him the encounter was not

consensual. I remember him grabbing my pelvis and being really forceful of me. She said, I remember the specific moment where I thought to myself like, this is no longer my choice. Have you ever seen a product that transformed? ads and skip. And that did it. That report in Politico, using the woman's name, was the breaking point in this story. And here is the big, big problem with that. That same woman had already been an unnamed source in other reporting about Graham Platner's abusive conduct with women.

and she thought what she had said as an unnamed source was clear enough about his aggression with women. But she was ignored. And so the very same person decided that she needed to go public on the record with her name, including in a video interview, and tell the story, tell her story with all the details of what she says, happened to her. And only then did the people who ignored her the first time take her seriously this time, even though Graham Platner once again denied her accusations.

And so it's over tonight. And Graham Platner is clinging to the wreckage of his campaign mercilessly and foolishly, dragging out the day and the hour on which he will announce that he cannot find a path forward for his candidacy. And the lesson of it all could not be simpler. It is just one word. And sometimes it's the hardest word for many of us.

Patience. It's all it is. When the new exciting candidate emerges, who no one knows anything about always, just wait, find the patience to wait for the vetting. The vetting isn't perfect, but vetting is the safest way

to place your bets. And when someone has already run for elective office and won and then maybe run for another office and one or lost that one, that person has, to some degree, been vetted at least by the news media, repeatedly.

The first time I ever saw Barack Obama was when he was a Senate candidate and he appeared on the stage at John Kerry's presidential nominating convention in Boston in 2004. And I heard that man give a speech for the first time. And I said on television that night that I had just seen the first black president. And I also knew that he had been vetted to some degree already. He ran for Congress and lost and went through some vetting in that campaign. And then he ran for state legislature and won and went through more vetting in that

process. And now he was running for the United States Senate and going through vetting in that process. And prior to that, he appeared to have lived a careful life graduating from Columbia University and then from Harvard Law School, where he served as the president of the Harvard Law Review. That proves to you that he was a hardworking, very serious law student in the hardest law school in America. And so this appeared to be a very serious person aiming his life in a very serious direction. But during his presidential campaign, something terrible could have come out about Barack Obama because he had never been vetted at the presidential level.

But nothing bad ever did come out about him. And he was fully vetted as a presidential candidate, not just by his own campaign, but by the Republican campaign that was desperate to try to find something negative to use against the new bright star, the Democratic Party, who turned out to be the real thing, the real bright star that everyone was waiting for or everyone was hoping for on that side of our politics. But when a candidate emerges like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has never run for anything and is working as a bartender, it's an exciting campaign to watch, but the vetting could maybe turn up something very harmful in her social media history

somewhere. But when it's a woman candidate, it's probably not going to be sexual abuse. And when Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won and became a member of Congress, she was then vetted every single day and continues to be vetted every single day by Republicans trying to tear her down. And it turns out that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was also the real thing, that bright, shining star from out of nowhere, never vetted before, who runs for office and wins, and who is who she says he is. She is, a real, hardworking bartender who's now a hardworking member of the United States House of Representatives. Graham Platner was trading on the positive feelings generated by truly great candidates

for the offices they were running for, like Barack Obama and Alexander. Andrea Ocasio-Cortez, a familiar feeling for Democrats. That's what he was trading on. And he abused that feeling in people. He abused that goodwill, extended to him by the people of Maine. And in his video statement last night, he said that he was humbled. Over the last 10 months, I have been deeply humbled by the faith Mayors have put in me. And that is Graham Platner's.

one and only appearance on this program. And I firmly believe that he was lying when he said that. Aplause does not humble people. That is a cliche politician's lie. I am deeply humbled by your adoration. To find a path forward in his life, Graham Platner is going to have to be finally, deeply humbled, possibly for the first time in his life. Failure is an opportunity.

Disgrace is an opportunity. It is an opportunity to rebuild. It is an opportunity to look within through humility to find your way forward in life. Graham Platner tonight is still not deeply humbled enough to find a way forward in life. to find his way out of his campaign. After this break, we will be joined by the Democrat. Solid. Solid.

As to patience, the Camel Cardinal, Brother Deacon Asis says, Patience, if you're a rapist, your only path to the offices is if you run under the Repugger ticket. That's all. And that's true. I've seen countless remarks

by countless maggots barking and grunting and hooting and trying to find a way to spin this story without a lot of success because every time they open their mouths the same response comes

namely shut the fuck up and sit down you still support a guy that even the Supreme Court says is a rapist fuck off yeah flavio says o'donnell is incisive and devastating i think we can all agree he reminds me so much of morrow and cronkite and all the greats of american journalism i agree i do and you know that was not so much a report of the news on grand platner as a crushing brief against him and that's fine the nazi tattoo the nazi tattoo the nazi tattoo the nazi tattoo the nazi tattoo the nazi tattoo the nazi tattoo mika observing uh oyster farmer You could say he's poached, or shocked, even.

And, hey, aye, yay. The bottom line is that the salvation of this country runs through Maine. And at this point in time, he's got to get out, and there's a very narrow window of time in which, oh, that was Ryan, not Micah. You could say he's poached, shucked even. Yes. but Micah says she agrees with the llama I do too

and the funny thing I think the most central part of what Lawrence O'Donnell said is where was the vetting really where was it I'm looking right now at a photograph of Bernie holding hands with Graham Platner in front of an American flag in front of adoring cheering crowds yesterday Bernie said

got to get out i've spoken with graham platina about the best path forward for main in light of these very serious allegations i have recommended that he step aside and then uh rubin gayago did the same thing even though daddy gave him a bunch of money and uh let's see uh david castello says if brought platinum withdraws he's back in He came in third with a whopping, I think, single digit of the vote total. He was talking a lot of the same things that Platner was, but Platner somehow mesmerized the voters. I mean, he was so far back in the pack that some opinion polls didn't even list him.

Stephen King at first said he needs to stay in, and then quickly turned around and said, uh if he committed rape then he should bow out of the race you almost got it steve but but king also noted meanwhile the abuser in chief just keeps on keeping on apparently right we know who he was talking about then the sierra club bowed out well the sierra club's thoughts are with jenny rancico for courageously sharing her story victims of sexual violence must be listened to and provided our caring and our caring and support. Their lives are not for political gamesmanship. That was the political director of the Sierra Club, Sarah Burton. And Tim Walls, governor of Minnesota, said, got to go. These allegations are deeply disturbing. He should drop out and make way for a candidate who can defeat Susan Collins in November because that, I hate to say it. That is what matters. Beat Susan Collins.

When in Kentucky, when in Iowa, when in Texas, there's an opportunity here that is not going to come again. And a House and Senate, both controlled by Democrats, can at least slow the momentum of nitwit Nero in the final two years of his presidency, assuming that he fulfills it. and while he had been a big, big fan earlier, Zoran Mamdani, who actually went to Bowdoin College in Maine, where Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, the hero of Little Roundtop in 1863, matriculated and taught, Zoran Mamdani said,

got to go. I believe that it's time for him, to drop out of the race. I think that the focus of today should be to respond to the gravity of what so many of us have read, and I think that the only appropriate respond is for the campaign to end. Rashida Talib said she was withdrawing her endorsement and said that he should be replaced by a progressive fighter who will deliver for the people and help win back the Senate. the group founded by Bernie Sanders

Our Revolution said the allegations are too serious to treat as a distraction from the campaign or the issues whoever leads this movement forward must be someone who has actually lived the fight Graham Platner ran on a record with working people with unions against corporate money already tested and trusted

by the same base that delivered this result you know I didn't know any of the business about his mommy and his daddy and his daddy and he's grandpappy. But Jesus, and then it's Maine, of course. Gosh, there's another town in, that Kenny Bunkport. He sounds like a bush. If faith, he does.

And then Senate Majority Pack, via spokesperson Lauren French, said Monday, Senate Majority Pack is redirecting resources away from the main Senate race in light of the latest allegations against Graham Platner. Hold the phone, Senate Majority Pack. Give Maine a chance to get a viable candidate in there. One of the names being floated is an actor from, and honestly, we all know about my television illiteracy. One of the names being floated is a guy who was deemed to be devastatingly handsome,

who played on Gray's Anatomy. and whom the thinking is could, well, you know, have some name recognition without the rape. Both Chuck Schumer and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Chair, Kirsten Gillibrand, I wonder she still has her NRA membership and keeps that loaded rifle under her bed. I don't know. she said we can't beat Susan Collins as long as he's on the ticket both of them speaking together said Grand Platner needs to immediately withdraw as the Democratic nominee for Senate

and allow Maine Democrats the opportunity to choose a new candidate you know and that's act in haste repent in leisure but Janet Mills who had successfully governed governed Maine. Also filed and ran for that Senate seat, that nomination. But everybody was too busy fangirling and fanboying Graham Platner for her campaign to get any traction. She didn't have any money and she didn't have any support. Imagine that coming from the sitting governor, the incumbent, the former incumbent, who far more so than Graham Platner had looked, nitwit Nero in the eye and said,

I'll see you in court, motherfucker. Okay, minus the motherfucker, but you get my meaning. Let's see, and Citizens United and Planned Parenthood Action Fund bailed on him, and one Democrat in Maine, who had previously been in Platner's camp,

said, I'm ashamed of been quiet this long. There are at least 100 Maine Democrats who was substantially more policy-making experience, and moral rectitude than our current nominee for the U.S. Senate. That was State Representative Adam Lee of Auburn, Maine. We spent 10 years watching Republicans bend themselves into a pretzel to justify their support for a charismatic yet morally bankrupt person

who has been credibly accused of sexual assault, and I refuse to do that. Good for you. Good for you, Representative Lee. So I want to, but let's see, a couple of times. of emails. Fabio said what was striking to me or

maybe not so striking, the woman that reported on Platner anonymously was not listened to until she came out publicly. And if it's a woman who came up hard scrabble into public office with honest intentions and a clean resume and passed, will nonetheless be continually vetted. Scrutinized under an electron microscope

and her vetting will never end. Ever. Ever. You might want to ask Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris about that. Do you remember the sleazebag maggots impugning Kamala Harris's private sexual history? Because I do. I really, really do.

Oh, Jesus, Matt! Oh, it's a visual, so I can't really share it with. you, but oh my God. Mitch McConnell in his fetching hospital gown, a doing of the boogie. Yeah. Subject line, tart with a tarp. I feel called out.

Graham needs to go brush his hair. He done. Yes, as the hip kids say these days, he's cooked. And you know, This is, yeah, it's thriller. It is, Micah. Nike says, oh, I saw that. It's thriller.

Yeah. Ha, yeah. Clever, billable Rick, most clever. Roxanne, how did we not see this coming with Platner? Do you remember when I wrote you a couple of months ago expressing doubts about Platner when the sexting scandal came out? I suggested that Mills be the candidate instead, but the Dems need some young blood to contrast with geriatric Susan. Collins? Yeah, yeah, I do. And you'll notice nobody's mentioning her name. That means that somebody has probably already reached out to her and she said, nope, nope, I ran. Y'all didn't want me. I want to

win. Oh, and if you want to see the Moscow Mitch doing the thriller dance, Mike is going to put it up on the Horn's Blue Sky account at head on. Live over a blue sky. Thank you, Micah. The Nazi tattoo was enough for me. I mean, Jesus, the DUI hire Whiskey Pete Kegbreath. He's got a Crusader cross tattooed on his right tit. Graham Platner had a sure enough swastika. Wasn't it? Wasn't it a swastika? Yeah. But, well, as Lawrence O'Donnell pointed out, People can get overwhelmed by their emotions and their feverish desire to believe in someone. I don't, what was it that Tweedy, Chris Matthews, once said about George W. Bush that he sent a tingle down his leg.

Am I remembering that correctly? Yeah. I don't need a political candidate who makes a tingle run down my leg. Generally, if something runs down my leg, I'm probably on the way to the bathroom. But no, no. Yeah, and Lee says, thinking of Al Franken, I see too much of a repetition of Franken's stupidity. Al Franken was ousted by Democrats demanding that he leave.

Regardless of the accusations, why do Democrats fight this out in public? but maybe they are Democrats. Argue this behind closed doors. They apparently didn't want to do that, Lee. There was smoke and smoke and smoke. And the people who wanted so desperately to believe said, well, it's just smoke. That doesn't mean there's a fire somewhere.

And again, apparently, Ms. Rascoco was among those accusers who was simply not believed. out of hand. Ah, it was a toten copf, a death's head. A toten copt tattoo. Flavio reminds us, which he claimed he didn't know

was a Nazi symbol. Liar! How do you not? What, do you think it was a Punisher skull? Yeah. And Jeremy, meanwhile, said, yeah, I was a toten cop. But what Al Franken

was pilloried for, was absolute parsecs away from what's going on here. It absolutely was because Al Franken didn't do well anything. Jeremy says this is why we lose.

We will eat our own at the drop of a hat. Okay, or a few at this point. They don't. When will we take a page out of their book and play their game on equal footing? Also, they'll use this to keep spouting how disorganized we are and can't be trusted with power. they can say anything they want to

Jesus Christ, Jeremy, they're saying that Democrats Democrats didn't care when he was a Nazi They only cared when it was a rape allegation Again, that's not a great argument Right? Yeah And I guess the Dumers are already out there

If Platner goes, I've already heard Lee says It's Biden Harris again The people are not choosing the candidate will we get Collins because of concerns? No, I think we're going to get Collins. I mean, if Collins stays, it'll be because the people of Maine were conned by a guy who was not who he said he was. He waved the blood.

The first thing is anybody who comes into a political race, waving the bloody shirt, immediately raises questions in my mind. That's how it started. And then the Nazi tattoo. And, oh, I didn't know it was a Nazi tattoo. Let me have that covered up right quick. Act in haste.

Repent. Well, repent in leisure. Yeah, tattoos are not always well chosen. Again, acting in haste and often intoxication, repent in leisure. What ink I have, I have given long thought to, and I'm very happy with. it. But yeah, Lee sends along a photo of a tattoo on a forearm. No regerts. Yeah. One of my tattoos is actual Japanese script, and I entered into that with extreme trepidation. I vetted those characters over and over and over again. But it turned out I was right, and I'm happy with it.

so all of the above but meanwhile Cynthia out in the Bay Area says okay he should drop out now I was all I was worried it was all just a right wing hit job but it looks like I've been wrong drop out now we need a candidate who can

and will kick Collins to the curb I agree and see the thing is this isn't this isn't Biden Harris all over again the campaign season traditionally begins at Labor Day and there's time if they pick the right candidate. And if, because remember,

Graham Platner has enough money at this point in his war chest very likely to burn a sop and wet herd of soap and wet elephants with sop and wet hundred dollar bills. And that's got to go somewhere. You know, this isn't a case of him getting Gary Harted. Gary Hart didn't do anything. She leapt onto her. his lap, they took the picture, and the rat fucking was on. As far back as 1972 or 1971. Edmund Muskie didn't do anything. They just made up some

tawdry shit. Maine. Maine. Again. Maine. In that case, it was the Canuck letter, saying that it was a simpler time, mind you. It was saying that slur to describe people of French-Canadian origins in Maine of whom

there are no small number and that's a fair question Flavio why are the American people

so easily bamboozled and the Brazilian people the French people the English people Brexit et al

because there is a hunger for that a craving even for that man of the people, hard scrabble, up from humble roots.

And Graham Platner played every bit of that. And he needs to go. He just needs to go. Right or wrong, he needs to go. And then, if what she says is not true, he can sue her. She could counterclaim and fight it out in the courts. or if she's interested and a prosecutor is willing, again, off to the grand jury.

Is it that hard? But yeah, especially in the United States, Flavio. I mean, I don't know if there are any log cabin mythologies in Brazil, but everybody wants that up from nothing story, or at least man of the people, or someone I can have a beer with. So I hope, and there's Maine again, as Billable Rick reminds us, remember the Maine, the fraudulent pretext for the Spanish-American War.

It exploded and sank in Havana Harbor. February 15th, 1898. Blast ripped through the ship's forward gunpowder magazines, killing 266 sailors. And what did William Randolph Hearst say? you give me the story I'll provide the war something like that

upon which Theodore Roosevelt would then go on in his imperialist charge up San Juan Hill to build and he was filthy rich but to build his reputation as a

straight shooting hard riding the rough and tough yeah but he he puts you know he put some meat on those bones

and when he became president became an incredibly racist imperialist purveyor of American military muscle and power abroad check out Mark Twain for instance and how

Mark Twain felt about the slaughters in the Philippines. I think in the history of armaments, the Colt Company developed the Colt 1911 service 45-calibre or 45-calibre semi-automatic pistol in response to the need to more effectively kill brown people. in the Philippines. My history may be off. That's okay. Back to Chris Matthews, courtesy of Matt in San Francisco. I think he got to thrill up his leg regarding listening to Obama. I think he wanted to have a beer with Bush. Something to be grateful for since he's been off air.

I've never found myself wondering what Chris has to say about anything. Isn't that the truth? God, he would drone on and on and on about Tipo, Neil and how he and Ronald Wilson Reagan, old 666 himself, who would roll up their sleeves and get down to the bipartisan business of, well, fucking my generation out of five years of Social Security. Gee, thanks. That would be your generation, too, Matt.

Our generation, yeah. But there's another story out there, and it's quite interesting. It comes out of Idaho, and it features a woman, a mother, named Andrea Shaw. And initially you read the story, and they're like, oh, it's a tragedy. Andrea Shaw had a pair of 18-month-old twins, and in May of 2025, she ran screaming to the media that vaccines killed her twins. Oh, yes. Because you see,

Andrea Shaw had been for rather a while deeply involved with children's health defense. That's the griff that

whalehead dead bear raccoon penis brainworm lampery had concocted in his ongoing anti-vaccine crusade. And she said the twins died after she had them vaccinated. And in May of

2025, she showed up on the Children's Health Defense show. I said, I found them dead in their bedroom. Days after they got vaccinated for the flu and other diseases,

they'd got their shots at the same time by two nurses at the same time. What's more or she's also a plaintiff in a lawsuit brought by Children's Health Defense. Against who? Against the American Academy of Pediatrics. They filed the lawsuit this past January in federal court in Washington and says that the American Academy of Pediatrics engaged in racketeering because of its, quote, central role in an enterprise that it is,

has defrauded American families about the safety of the childhood vaccine schedule for several decades. The lawsuit describes Shaw as a mother whose children died following routine vaccinations administered according to American Academy of Pediatrics Guidelines. Well, back in April, the American Academy of Pediatrics filed a motion to dismiss in federal court saying that this is the latest missive in a campaign targeting the academy and its use of science-backed evidence in vaccine policy. Yeah. So now we get to the Paul Harvey part of the program. And now you know the rest of the story. Well, Andrea Shaw has been indicted.

She's been indicted on two counts. of murder. According to the indictment, according to the indictment, she smothered those two 18-month-old little twin girls to death. Let that sink in. She's got a

petty fogger. It doesn't say that he's a public defender. Joe Philisetti said, she denies anything and everything. The state can't prove the criminal charges. We'll defend her with wholeheartedness. With wholeheartedness? Yeah, okay. The charges, by the way, are two counts of first-degree murder.

For which, should she be convicted, Idaho will have the option of killing her in the name of the state of Idaho. Now, I don't want anybody to come to the wrong conclusion. Whalehead, dead bear, raccoon, penis, brainworm, lamprey has not been affiliated with children's... defense since December of 2024. Remember, the lawsuit was filed in January 2025. You know, one of the things you don't do with a high-profile lawsuit,

you don't decide to file the high-profile lawsuit, say, oh, on New Year's Day with a hangover on January 1st, 2025. And again, this organization was entirely the creature of whalehead, dead bear, raccoon, penis, brainworm lamprey. So if this thing doesn't get dismissed, I would imagine that, well, the aforesaid, Kennedy, how would you not depose him? Because, see, we were talking about vetting earlier, and how Graham Platner wasn't vetted.

What happens when somebody isn't vetted? And then they allegedly smothered their teeth. precious little 18-year-old twin girls to death. I suppose that this Joe Philocetti creature plans to try to put vaccines on trial. I wonder, because like I said, none of the coverage I've seen of this story says that he's a public defender.

Maybe he is, maybe he isn't. I think it's relevant because, well, if that lawyer is being paid for by children's health defense or some creepy-ass millionaire or billionaire associated with them. Well, that's just a piece of the puzzle, isn't it? And then, well, but imagine that. You've got two dead year-and-a-half-olds

and you're going on internet TV shows to talk about how the vaccines killed them. I don't think that the prosecutor there in Boise brought this without some degree of investigation. I mean, if the vaccines killed those precious little children, there would be some indication that it had. And moving on from there, Leah New York mentioned Schrodinger's Turtle. Since he went into the hospital, no one has said anything.

Is he alive? Is he dead? My guess is that, like Shrodinger, Rode Enger's cat looking will mean the cat is dead. It is reported that his loving wife is in China. Why would she not want to be by her husband's bedside? She said it was business. Tell Addison I always liked him. It was only business.

It's been suggested, Lee, says that Mitch McConnell's actual health status will be revealed when it is too late to have a special election. Well, there's also the question of an appointment. And Micah says, it is business, the business of rat fucking this country. And I think I said on Monday, I would not be the least bit surprised to find out that Moscow Mitch had scripted this down to the last word. and it's so bad that even the Louisville Courier Journal on its opinion pages

published a piece by an opinion writer with that paper namely Joseph Guth remember the Louisville Courier Journal was owned by Gannett which is not known for its hard-hitting journalism these are the same folks who bring you Usa today and

Gerth wrote a lengthy piece in which he said among other things this isn't like the case of Republican Representative

Tom Kane Jr. New Jersey who missed nearly four months this year without offering any explanation. He said forget baseball

antiquing and staking and stamp collecting most popular pastime among Democrats these days seems to be trying to figure

out what's going on with Senator Mitch McConnell and his health. I don't care. I don't mean that in a mean way. I'm glad he clarified.

But then he went on and did, in fact, clarify. He said the specifics of what is or isn't wrong with Mitch McConnell don't matter much to him. He said, we don't need specifics of his condition like we would, you know, we don't need constant updates on. one of 100 senators the way we would with the President of the United States but what he wants to know is where's Elaine

he then recounted for the readers of that estimable publication that paramedics showed up at Mitch McConnell's home they performed CPR on an unconscious person on June the 14th you know

we played the 911 audio here EMS with ALS Advanced Life Support A rolling emergency room and well the aforementioned

bidness Elaine had zoomed off to Jainna to meet with Chinese Vice President Han Zhang she left on June the 12th

Moscow Mitch had his massive coronary on March 4th, on June 14th. Did I say March? I meant June. And then she had a meeting with the Vice President of China, Han Shang, on the 17th of June. She was, in fact, in Shanghai, when the EMS call went out.

She did come back on July the 7th. That would be yesterday. After the conspiracy theories had already blossomed,

the dateline got a little bit mixed up because, well, some people, and I think I may have been one of them, said that she had flown off after the event. She did not. She flew away before it. Marginal trailer queen, you know, despite her rehabilitation to her, you know, she's still the same creep she was.

TMZ in New York City. New York City, I thought she hated New York City. TMZ caught up with Marge and asked her a question. thoughts on the Mitch McConnell situation. He's been hospitalized for weeks. Other than that, we don't really know what's going on. What do you think about it? I think it's extremely serious, and I'd like to say shame on the Republican Party

for just basically staying silent while such a powerful Republican senator is basically laying in a hospital like a vegetable. And his wife flew to China and met with the vice president of China just days out. after he basically died and they brought him back with CBR and took him to the hospital. But you know what? It doesn't surprise me from the establishment because this is what they support. They support people holding on to power until they're practically dead or do die in office. And this is why the state of our country is so pathetic. So do you want Republican senators and leadership to be speaking out against this? Like, what do you want from them exactly if they don't know what's going on with him?

Yeah, Mitch McConnell had a stroke on television. I think it was last year. And that was the earliest signs. But none of these elected officials, Republican, Democrats, congressmen, senators should ever stay in office until they're ailing in health. Joe Biden is another one. He was the president while he said. Told you. Joe Biden was out there delivering Fourth of July addresses, you silly bitch.

Yeah. And, you know, people don't just have heart attacks at 84, Marge. It could happen to you, too. But fortunately, you stayed in the Congress just long enough to get that sweet, sweet, sweet congressional health care for the rest of your unnatural born days. Along with the, uh, uh, uh, pension. Yeah, that's pensioner marginal trailer queen. Yes. He had dementia and was clearly failing on the world stage.

But no, shame on every single person in Washington, D.C. that doesn't call this out and demand that Mitch McConnell's family step up and announce his resignation and take care of their family member. Because there needs to be a new election held in Kentucky where they can... Dummy? If he's not conscious, he can't resign. Elaine can't resign for him. And far be it for me to be the Moscow-Mitch McConnell Defense Department, I'm afraid I'm not going to be very good at that at all.

But goddamn the stupid. We have a functioning person serve as a senator. And then also, you know, I want to call this out. This really irritates me. The Republican Party is all campaigning against communism right now. What about Elaine Chow? Elaine Chow flew to China. Oh, here we go.

President, just a few days after Mitch McConnell practically died and went to the hospital. So where are we going to call out a possible communist Chinese spy right there? You're calling his wife a possible Chinese spy. Yes, yes, I am. And, you know, my orange daddy, who isn't my daddy anymore, I'm still sad.

he said that Elaine Chow's daddy was a Coke dealer. Yes, yes, 100%. What woman leaves her husband's side while he is dead or dying in the hospital, flies to China and meets with the vice president? Answer me that. I wanted to get back to one of the things that you previously mentioned about the potential open Senate seat if you were to pass away or resign. I mean, what do you make of that?

Who do you think might run for that? How do you think that just all going to shake out if it does become available? I have no idea who would run for it, but I'd love to see Thomas Massey run because that man, they ran an Israeli operation on him with three billionaire Israeli donors, and they totally stole that seat from Kentucky. And you know what they did that was really disgusting? They broke the law and actually created a fair. make AI campaign ad, showing him supposedly some sex trio with AOC and Ilhan Omar.

That was wrong. And, you know, they broke out. You know, the funny thing was, is she would have been completely in favor of that if they'd done that with AOC and Ilhan Omar and, you know, Oh, Kamala Harris or anybody with a D behind their name. Yeah? That's how they treat them, but I think Thomas Massey would make a great senator. and anybody that rejects APEC money. I know you're pretty close with Massey.

I mean, has he said anything about potentially running for the seat? No, we were talking about fishing the other day and talking about the beach. I just want to kiss, my fish. Oh, never mind. But you know what? There may even, look, sometimes you find a diamond in the dung. That may be what has them so potentially upset. The idea that there's already a campaign underway for his seat,

I presume there's a Republican nominee and a Democratic nominee. Has Kentucky had its primary yet? Anybody want to fill me in on that? But, well, if it were to become public that Moscow Mitch has shuffled off this mortal coil and gone to the great very, very, very hot beyond, Thomas Massey could upset a lot of apple carts. But Elaine Chow is back in the United States, and one presumes that Elaine is his medical power of attorney.

And then there's Scott Jennings over at Chicken Noodle News. Why they continue to write him a paycheck, I will never, ever know. He had a segment with Casey Hunt a day or so ago where this transpired. Senator McConnell, we're told it was hospitalized. Have you heard any word on him? I have. I spoke to him yesterday, and he was in good spirits. I mean, he was paying very dialed in, paying attention to what's going on,

and indicated that he'll be back soon. That was the Senate Majority Leader, John Thune, just days after Senator Mitch McConnell. was admitted to the hospital. It has now been three weeks since McConnell was admitted. We still don't know why he's there. Today, spokespeople for both Leader Thune and the GOP whip, John Barrasso, said the senators recently spoke to McConnell about a variety of topics. McConnell's office says he's recovering,

but they've not provided any details about his condition, which has left room for rampant speculation, even prompting some MAGA voices to say, McConnell's team needed to provide proof of life. Joining us now in the arena is Al Cross. He's a political columnist for the Northern Kentucky Tribune, Professor Emeritus at the University of Kentucky, long-standing dean of the press.

Sometimes I love how the goddess of irony helps out here. You heard that term, proof of life. Just moments ago, I got a note from Billable Rick saying, proof of life for McConnell, I don't understand why the GOP can't produce proof of life, to Mitch McConnell. What does it have to appear? I thought that turtles lived for hundreds of years.

Uh-huh. Yeah. And so, again, the clip begins with John Thune. Oh, yeah, we were sitting, I talked to him. We were talking about baseball and the World Cup. I mean, we were just, we were just shooting the breeze, Mitch and me. Yeah. Or in Kentucky and his...

And then, of course, there's the fact. that the memes are all over the place of, you know, John Thune talked to Mitch McConnell, and there's the meme of the Ouija board and the little pointer moving to, no. The same has been done for anybody else who said they've had contact with him. Yeah, it's pretty good. Robert McConnell for a long time. But I actually do, Al, want to start with, I know, our mutual, I know you know, Scott Jennings quite well. from your time because Scott.

We're with the news. Scott has the news. Exactly. You spoke with Mitch McConnell today. What did you talk about? What did he say? Yeah, he called me this morning before I did my radio show. What did he call you, Scott? He talked a lot about the situation with Iran.

Talked a little bit about Ukraine and what's going on in Europe. I told him I'd been to the Teddy Roosevelt Library. We talked a little bit about the history of the vice. See, Scott Jennings has known. Moscow Mitch since Scott was 16 years old or something. Mm-hmm.

Told him been to tell you Roosevelt Library. Yeah. We talked about it. Iran and Ukraine. Hey, Scott, did you talk about how much he hates your orange Jesus? Did you talk about that, Scotty?

Presidency and how Roosevelt had transformed that in the modern presidency, a little history of the Blink once for yes, Senator Pike. Blink twice for no. Because that memes out there, too. Moscow, Mitch, and the Captain Pike chair.

Senate, I mean, it was a, you know, it was a wide-ranging conversation. I talked to him often. I hadn't talked to him since he'd been in. I'd gotten a few text messages from him, but I hadn't spoken to him. So it was good to hear his voice. Voice sounded strong and it sounded like he was keeping up with the news to me. Did you ask him how he was feeling? Yeah.

He said, you know, he said it was feeling okay. you know, obviously well enough to call me on the phone. Notice the hesitation there. This is what we call judging the credibility of the witness. Do you ask him how I was feeling? Because, I mean, that's pretty obvious. I think that would be at the front end of I talk to Moscow, my dear, dear friend, Moscow, Mitch today,

and he said he's feeling okay. Instead, it's a minute into the conversation. Well, I mean, he said he's feeling. you know, okay. I wonder if they went out and killed some poor innocent soul to give him a new heart. I'm just curious. Do they do heart transplants at George Washington University Hospital? Or American?

I'm not sure. Was it George G.W.? Or was it American that he went to? Do they do heart transplants there? Did he get one? Did he did, did Moscow Mitch get one of those? well turtles can't leap frog that's for frogs but did he

did he turtle up to the front of the line and get a heart and before some decent human being did I don't know that's the thing nobody knows obviously well enough to talk to barasso and fune now look I'm not qualified to discuss any medical issues or give you any

information about that that's really for him or his staff which is a hilarious thing for Scott Jennings to say, given the fact that I'm not qualified to talk about medical information, but gosh, I'm so old I can remember when Scott Jennings would sit there on that very same chicken noodle news and bloviate away about Joe Biden's dementia when all Joe Biden had was a fucking stutter. And, well, cancer, part of which he's beaten. Well, that Ralph says Mitch would need a brain transplant.

Well, we don't know how much of that went the way of all flesh on the 14th of June. And I don't know if he got a heart transplant, he might actually, that could be devastating for the Republican Party because he might turn, he might turn into a decent human being. I have to do, but, you know, I talk to him from time to time, and I see him from time to time. And we had a conversation today about the things that we normally talk about, which are news of the day, political stuff. Did you come away feeling like he's still capable of serving the people of Kentucky as senator? I came away feeling that he was staying on top of the news. Again, look, his condition and why he's in the hospital or when he might come out or look, that's... Do you know why and are just saying you're not a liberty to share?

I do not know why. I only know, frankly, what has been reported or what his office has said. said. So this was, it was a personal private call, but, but I did. So it's a personal private call, but you're there blathering about it on chicken noodle news, but he didn't tell you why he's in there? Is that what you're telling us there, Scotty boy? You know, usually if you're in the hospital and somebody doesn't know, and a dear friend calls, and you're picking, well, how you doing, Mitch, old son? Well, I'm doing pretty good, I think. Had me a little, had a little, had Well, I fell and I couldn't get up.

That's what it was. And then my heart stopped. I was dead for a little bit. Didn't say any of that, though. Yeah, they're dear friends. I didn't probe him too deeply for his medical records. Would you encourage him or anyone in his position to be more transparent with his voters about his health than he's been so far? Good question.

I think that's a fair, I think that's a fair, thing to... Good question. Good question is what you always say when you really don't want to answer the question that you've been questioned to say. But on the other hand, you know, my impression of men of that age is that they're a little private when it comes to their health. Now, he's in public office and that carries a different responsibility, but it's a fair question. Can I just jump in here? Because we have been on multiple shows together where you have brought up Secretary Austin's hospitalization when I was in the administration. Oh!

Oh, this is going to leave a mark. And you were very critical of us on the handling, and the secretary of his handling and being, you were incredibly critical of him not being transparent with the American people and the public about his condition. And I find it just so interesting that you're not being critical of a sitting senator who represents the state of Kentucky not being transparent with his condition. constituents. He's been able to call Thune, Barrasso, and you,

but we have no idea why he's hospitalized. But you were so, so critical of Secretary Austin, who was, who did disclose why he was hospitalized and was for five days. We are at almost a month, and we have no idea why Mitch McConnell has been hospitalized, and you're not

being critical, you're not concerned by that? Of course not. I okay, I. Maggot. Or I okay. I. It's okay if you're a maggot. It's okay if you're a Mitch McConnell. Flavio just reminded me of this from a mutual friend over on Facebook. Someone posted, if I'm Kentucky Governor Bashir, this is an easy fix.

You make an announcement that all evidence you have shows Mitch McConnell is no longer with us. And as governor, unless proof of life and vitality is shown, you're moving forward to the special election to replace it, then do it. You don't sit back and wait until August 3rd to say your hands are tied while the GOP plays these games. Yeah, that's a great idea except for, well, the legislature of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, as Billable Rick just reminded us, the Kentucky GOP legislature has twice passed bills, while Andy Bashir, a Democrat, has been governor most recently in 2024, stripping him of the ability to appoint a successor or successor U.S. Senators when the current occupant dies in office.

The law provides that if the incumbent dies before August 7th of the election year, a special election shall be called, which will be held on election day in November, and will take office as soon as the election results have been determined. But if the incumbent dies after August 7th, the seat will remain vacant until the winner of the regular election in November assumes office in the following January. The North Carolina GOP legislature did a similar thing to limit the power of Roy Cooper to make appointments when he was governor, only because

Cooper is a Democrat. And look, like I said, I would not be at all surprised to find out that this entire scenario had been stage managed by Mitch McConnell in advance. After all,

his memoir is titled The Long Game. And if Mitch McConnell, says for the Kentucky Maggot Legislature to do something, the Kentucky Maggot Legislature does it, because there is an election coming. And right now, that election is, and thank you, Ralph's, for finding these results from the Kentucky primary of May 22nd, or thereabouts. The Republican, the maggot nominee is Andy Barr.

He garnered 60.5% of the vote. His competitor, the winner of the Democratic primary, Charles Booker, got 46.8% of the Democratic vote. Amy McGrath, panel of Stevenson, Dale Romans, Logan Forsyth, Vincent Thompson, and Joshua Blanton were all in there. But do you see now? and maybe Marge gave the game away if there was a special election why Andy Bashir

I mean not Andy Bashir why Thomas Massey might just get right in there and muddy things up right smart and make poor poor poor APAC spend more

billions of dollars to keep him out of that seat with that consideration I'm halfway inclined to say I hope it turns out that you're able to do that Thomas not a fan or anything

but he did the right thing relative to the Epstein files and then nitwit Niro called in a marker from BV and well the rest is history $3 billion for a

single house seat in Kentucky stay in? Yeah, yeah. Oh, and I'm not hammering away on this too much, but if we could do a little fundraising this evening, it would be awesome. There are no challenges on the table. Thanks to Routes' No More Holes Challenge,

we're fully funded for the first half of July, and this gives us some breathing room so that we're not sweating bullets as the end of the month comes up. So, fingers crossed. Well, this is funny. This is hilarious. Back in May and Bangor, Maine, the Secret Service blocked a woman named Amanda McGonagall

from a taxpayer-funded official work visit for the JD Egg. According to a report in The Daily Beast, Ms. McGonigal who has a history of trolling the couch fucker showed up for the event she has since sued but yeah

five five of the JD Egg's secret service detail said we know where you stand and banned her from even attending the event

she hadn't done anything at all So she's suing the executive office of the president and the Secret Service for violating her First Amendment rights, all because she runs an Instagram account called Cats on a Couch, whose purpose, she said, was to troll the current administration and have more followers than J.D. Vance. And it goes back to 2021 when the J.D. Egg. Was it 2021 or 2024 when he was derided? the childless cat ladies.

At the time, Ms. McGonigal said the entire point of this Instagram account is to troll J.D. Vance every single day because he's the human equivalent of a soggy saltine cracker. And apparently my daily roasting of J.D. Vance has hurt his feelings so badly that I've now made it onto some sort of government watch list. The ACLU is representing her. And Anahita

Sotuhi said the case strikes at the heart of the First Amendment, which protects the freedom to express political views without fear of retribution, even when done with flair and liberty. She added the freedom to mock has been a central tenet of American political discourse since the founding. The First Amendment cannot be revoked just because one of the country's most powerful people can't take a joke. And here's what got her in so much trouble. Here's the story of how I'm suing J.D. Vance or the Office of the Vice President or the Secret Service. Honestly, I'm not 100% sure who yet. Someone in this administration is about to learn what happens when you mess with a little girly pop who has time and a flare for drama. Buckle up, babes. For those of you who don't know, the entire point of this Instagram account is to troll J.D. Vance every single day because he is the human equivalent of a soggy saltine cracker. What started as a fun little mission to have more followers than him quickly turned into a community of petty legends who collectively agree that J.D. Vance is the most unlikable.

vice president in history. Let's be real, that is a title that he had to work very hard to earn. Apparently, my daily roasting of J.D. Vance has hurt his feeling so badly that I've now made it onto some sort of government watch list. Yesterday, I tried to attend an event that was publicly hyped as an official work visit by J.D. Vance in his capacity as the vice president. He was out for an event supposedly uncovering fraud. The event was held in Bangor, Maine. I thought, what better way to spend my day than reminding J.D. Vance that he is one bad poll away from becoming a trivia question. I registered for the event. It was on official White House letterhead. The confirmation on screen, also White House letterhead. The follow-up guest guidance came straight

from the office of the vice president. Every single sign pointed to this being a public event. Taxpayer funded Air Force II, Secret Service, whole production. Naturally, I showed up with my little registration in hand, ready to serve looks and side-eye. And so after standing in line for about 30 minutes, five, yes, service agents approached me. Not one. Not two. Five. For me, a girl with a cat meme account in the internet. They called me out by name, which honestly, you know my name, pulled me out of line and told me that I couldn't attend. When I asked why, considering the fact that I had registered, received confirmation, and followed all the rules, they said, it's a private event and we know where you stand. translation jd vance is scared you'll hurt his feelings in front of everybody and his ego can't take it so let's be real jd didn't want me there because he knows that i would roast him so hard he would need spf 1,000 that man is so fragile he makes a faberge egg look like a fucking wrecking ball and either

it was a public event as advertised and i was denied entry because i think jd vans is a sentient jar of mayonnaise or it was a private event and taxpayer dollars were used to fund jd vans little safe space either way it's giving lawsuit vibes and before anyone's says, maybe they saw you as a threat. Let's be real. If I were a threat, they would have cuffed me, stuffed me and dragged me out of there. Instead, they just told me that I couldn't come in because it was a private event and because J.D. Vance's ego is apparently held together with duct tape and prayer. I even tried to explain to these agents, like, you guys realize this is silly, right? Because I am just a cat account on the internet that makes fun of J.D. Vance. And like,

anyway, whether or not I have a First Amendment case is currently in the hands of the ACLU. But let me tell you this. I will be the most annoying thorn in their side. If you thought I was in sufferable before. Just fucking wait. J.D. Vance has officially unlocked Gurley Pop Petty Mode final boss and trust I've got time and a whole lot of past. So stay tuned. Oh my God.

Girlie Pop Petty Final Boss. Go, Gurley Pop, go. Oh. Oh, he's so pathetic. I'm such a sad little. closet case. I bet they'll settle. You know that? I bet they will.

Because it's a civil rights violation, and that comes with attorney's fees. And the attorney's fees go up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, the further you get into litigation. I hope Ms. McGonagall will update

when they do. Jesus. And then, well, and by the way, this is a conversation radio program. If anyone, would care to engage in saying you're more than welcome to. The stress line number is 844-843-4676-844, The Horn. And it'll get you right into the fabulous horn studios here.

And, well, we'll chat. You can also get through if you're a member of the Old Holler Tree Group on Discord. You can also get through that way. iPads all plugged up and ready to roll. And then this, the humiliation of the United States, as if what Belgium did to us wasn't bad enough. You know, we talked on Monday about how nitwit Niro, who could not help it, inserted himself into the matter of the red card for the American striker at the World Cup. Well, he got to play. and by the time it was all was said and done,

I'll bet you he wished he hadn't. Jesus, what a beat down that was. I mean, Belgium didn't just beat the U.S. side. They beat him, knocked them down, curb stomped them, and then rubbed their face, and then peed on them and rubbed their face in it. And made sure that the whole world knew, it was a beautiful thing

among other things well let's see they did the Trump dance both on the field you know the one where it looks like he's jacking off two camels at the same time they did the Trump dance on the field then they did it in the locker room

and then they posted on social media overturned this and they said it in English to make sure that nitwit Nero could understand. That was bad. It got worse. So then Nittwit Nero flew off to Ankara, the capital of Turkey, which sits just a little bit north of the seat of power of the ancient Hittite Empire. they called themselves Hati

and the name of their capital city was Hattusa. Never mind. Nerd girl. Apologize. But he flew off to anchor a turkey for a NATO meeting where he has embarrassed himself time after time

after time. They insisted on a sit-down with Vlodomier Zelensky and nitwit Niro didn't have little Marco and the JD Egg or any of his other little goons around him. Nitwit Niro called him a, a difficult character, you're a difficult character. We've settled a lot of wars, and this one is the one that I thought maybe would be the easiest, but Putin's a difficult character, and this guy's a difficult character. It's not the easiest thing, and there's a lot of commitment, and there's a lot of love of the

and everything else, but I think we've made a lot of progress in the last couple of weeks, and we'll see how it all goes. So do you have any questions? President Trump, sir. And that was about as good as it got, because a little bit later, nitwit Nero asked him, would you go to Moscow? Probably called it Moscow. Would you go to Moscow? And Volodymyr Zelensky said, it's difficult.

But are a lot of Ukrainian drones there. Sick burn, Mr. President, who is not suffering from frontotemporal dementia. And in that clip you heard, he didn't laugh when Trump laughed. Difficult character. Yeah, yeah, remember, Nitwit Niro told his mouth-walking, knuckle-breathing followers that, I'll end the war in Ukraine on day wine.

But as to that, it's difficult. There are a lot of Ukrainian drones there. Let's remember Zelensky was, well, he was the Ukrainian David Letterman at one point in time, and that kind of showed there. And Ralph says kindly put a $25 challenge on the table for that. The Ukrainian drones challenge is now available. So if somebody's got $25 bucks, they'd like to, toss in. Ralps will turn it into

50 and will be down to 2930 to go in our attempt to fully fun July and not sweat bullets toward the end of the month. Not sweating bullets is so much fun. But that wasn't all. Back to the football match. Lee in New York says, sideline nitwit Niro was overheard.

He was overheard screaming, a first and ten touchdown offset penalty who's doing the halftime show signed lee who doesn't follow football yeah but this is this is going to be this is an epic embarrassment as it is every time he goes abroad uh and nicole wallace over at ms now uh in conversation with michael mfall the former u.s ambassador to russia well that they agree agreed that he ain't right. And you're here too. Xfinity, imagine that. It's 4 o'clock in the east. So the ceasefire with Iran that was never really a ceasefire

now appears to really be over. We have ended trade, all trade with Spain. And Japan is now apparently an Islamic Republic. If all or any of that is used to you, then you've been fortunate enough to have missed Donald Trump's performance on the world stage at this week's NATO summit. where in a series of bizarre press conferences, Donald Trump ran the gamut of sounding merely uninformed

to downright addled and crazy. Take a listen to some of the highlights. Is the ceasefire or done? Is the MOU dead? It's a very interesting question. To me, I think it's over. I don't want to deal with them anymore. They're scum.

I told the story yesterday we had 111 missile shot by the Islamic Republic of Japan. They were shot at the aircraft. J.C. P.O.C. What a terrible deal. I call it the Obama nuclear waste deal. I don't want anything to do with Spain. Cut off all trade with Spain, please.

Including visits. Okay, we don't want anything to do. You know who's number one of TikTok? I am. I'm number one of TikTok. Do you have a question for President Putin? What's the President? President? Do you have a question for President Putin?

for President Putin. Not to let's be putt. What would you like to ask it? Because I'm going to ask him that question. She's not sitting next to President Putin. I don't know what TicTac is. The Islamic Republic... Well, Nicole, from the Access Hollywood tapes,

a Tick-Tac is a little breathment that you put in your mouth right before you start kissing women against their will. That's what he said. said, Nicole, get a producer on it. Of Japan, came out of his mouth. Marco Ruby is going to have to start standing next to him and translating. But unsurprisingly, Donald Trump's incomprehensible, unhinged, embarrassing, uninformed, me, me, me display there.

And his approach to geopolitics has had it effect. It appears to have finally exasperated and exhausted European leaders' patience. On that, the New York Times reports this, quote, a major motif of this year's NATO summit has to do with European leaders deciding whether it's politically advantageous to at last dispense with the niceties and fight back against Trump,

as the Spanish and Italian leaders have started to do. The time when all European heads of state were playing nice with the Mercurial American president is decidedly over. An exasperation that seems only likely to grow as Donald Trump's war with Iran threatens to tank everyone's economies. The New York Times reports this, quote,

The global economy is set to slow sharply in 26 after the war with Iran disrupted energy supply chains and triggered a fresh bout of inflation. The International Monetary Fund warned on Wednesday. The forecasts reflect the damaging toll from the decision by the U.S. and Israel to attack Iran this year. Donald Trump exhausting, not just Americans' patience, but now the world, as he humiliates himself on the world stage,

is where we begin again today, with some of our favorite experts in France. Staff writer at the Atlantic, Tom Nichols is here. He's a professor emeritus of national security affairs at the U.S. Naval War College. Also joining us, Puck News, senior political columnist and national affairs analyst, John Heilman is back, and former ambassador to Russia and international affairs analyst, Michael McFall is here. Ambassador, I'm only half joking about having a translator there.

He speaks now so incomprehensibly, and I guess it's old-fashioned, but I remember when the world hung on every word that an American president and an American ambassador and American diplomat and an American spokesperson said, and now we're all supposed to look the other way when he describes Japan as an Islamic Republic and thinks he's sitting next to Putin. It was crazy. Just I'm glad you pointed it out. A lot of people don't think it's crazy anymore, right? We've gotten so used to him speaking this way. We just give him a pass on all this. But that clip you just showed, in other circumstances, just a few years ago, would have been major international crises. Today, this is just the way the president talks. And as you also said, rambling all over the place about different issues, all having to do with him personally, was also something very striking from the press conference.

But on the substance, there's another thing that's very striking. In my world, everybody is calling this a success this summit. And you know why? Because President Trump didn't walk out. He didn't blow up the NATO alliance. He didn't say he was going to leave. And that that is the bar of success, I think, also says a lot about where we are in terms of our relations with our allies today. Tom, the bar has to be lowered because world leaders have their own electorates with their responses.

too, but that the bar has been so unceremoniously lowered, like, so that it's underground. Seems like something that should get more notice among American civic leaders. I mean, this is the guy that Jeff Bezos capitulated to and stood shoulder to shoulder. This is the guy that all the fanciest law firms in New York are now doing pro bono work for his commerce department. This is the guy that universities capitulated to, and this is a guy who doesn't know that difference between Japan and Iran? It's almost like we have a relative in the room, and there's something deeply wrong with him,

and we've all agreed to not talk about it. But there is something deeply wrong with him. His friends know it. His critics know it. His staff, I'm sure, knows it. The world knows it. World leaders know it. And most importantly, our enemies know it, which is why they don't take him seriously,

which is why nobody, as you pointed out, you know, once upon a time people hung up. the word of presidents. Nobody hangs on his words. They kind of do, but mostly out of freakish curiosity to see what kind of wild thing he's going to say next, not because his words have any inherent meaning or reflect policy. I spent years teaching students that when the president speaks, it's policy, and you must pay attention to when the president speaks because nobody can contradict them. Now, you know, are we really cutting off all trade with Spain? Who knows? Maybe, maybe not.

It might have just been a stray electron, you know, caroming around inside his... It's a spirochete, Tom. But this is really dangerous, because in the middle of all this stuff, and we can laugh about, you know, the Islamic Republic of Japan and all of that. But he made several statements about an ongoing war that the United States is losing, and no one's even trying to pretend that they can make any sense of it. And I'll just add that one last thing that you just brought up. If this were any other president, this would be a national crisis.

I mean, Joe Biden got somebody's name wrong, and it was headlines. The president gets all kinds of things wrong, completely, you know, is out to lunch at an important NATO summit. And, you know. And you're here, too. Yeah, ho-hum. But thanks for the Biden reference, Tom Nichols. And, you know, Tom Nichols is a Republican.

But it's true. If Joe Biden stammered like he stammered all his life, he has a stutter that he has struggled to mightily and encouraged others with the same condition to overcome. Yeah, if he stuttered, well, the entire right-wing nuttosphere was out there screaming the R word, but it's ho-hum when he says the Islamic Republic of Japan. At least when George H.W. Bush yacked in the prime minister's lap on a visit, he didn't think he was yacking on the lap of the leader of the Islamic Republic of Japan for fuck's sake.

I mean, there's no joy in running clips of this fucking dementia. addled escapee from the from the home but god i mean just just take some of this in you know nico wallace talked about needing uh needing little marco to be the trump whisperer this is this is insane and there's more so much more it was great also and we achieved an unprecedented agreement to increase the annual defense spending, and it's the benchmark, raising it from 2% to 5% of GDP, which everybody said was impossible. And now they're all thanking me, and most of the countries have agreed to it.

We have a couple of that didn't, but I have a feeling they're going to, and pretty quickly. In fact, today they were very positive. One of them in particular was, I didn't think, a good team player. Today was a great team player. As all of the leaders understand very well, the United States, remains by far the largest contributor to NATO monetarily and maybe otherwise and the strongest military anywhere in the world. And they respect us as a country again. They didn't respect us two years ago.

They laughed at us. NATO laughed at us. Everybody laughed at us. They don't laugh anymore. There's no more laughing. This year we invested a record. $1 trillion in our armed forces, and we're going to be asking for $1.5 trillion. The only reason he thinks nobody's laughing at the United States anymore is that, well, the little weirdos around him protect him from the laughter.

And our allies are just sort of keeping it all on the down low. There's some chuckling. the Islamic Republic of Japan. I can hear the prime minister saying, Nandiska, come what iska? Oh, Jesus. But he's just prattling on. And in Europe, they're just hoping.

And our allies in Asia are just hoping that we can come to our senses and elect someone who's not a maggot. He doesn't have the power to unilaterally in trade with another sovereign nation. He's already been told that, but he's probably forgotten. Hell, he's probably forgotten what he had for his breakfast

or his midday snack. Coming up, we have the money being spent on the best equipment anywhere in the world. In the working session this morning, we discussed the progress. Other members are making toward the 5% target, and they're making great progress.

Many of these countries are very rich, by the way. We'd have to feel sorry for them. But it doesn't mean they're properly protected. It's a big difference. Some have truly answered the call, and others are making big changes and will be answering the call. I think I can say in all cases they're going to be answering.

the call and we'll be taking in over a trillion dollars a year toward defense and that's a tremendous amount of money that's a big up they were at 2%. They were actually at 1% I got them to 2% and I wanted to get them to 5 and we got up to 5 the last time and there you know just again if you could have seen the respect and the love in the room and it's love really for the country for our country. I don't want to say me because you'll say, oh, he's so conceited. He's such a conceited person. But they do. I mean, you know, they like the job I'm doing. They said, we love, sir, we love you. He's a grown people saying that. Isn't that nice? Maybe, I don't know, maybe they're trying to get to me. And in a way they did, because there was tremendous unity in that

room. What? What? Edith, huh? Oh, sir, we love you. We just love you. We just love you. These are grown people saying that to me? What, as opposed to the little girls you raped, you fuck? And I urge all nations to... All right, I'm making Casella's going to monitor that news conference there at the... Yeah, let's don't and say we didn't. Jesus. And they're all just sitting there with their hands in their suit coat pockets.

I'm rolling that pack of cigarettes over and over and over. For the day that they know more than any... else is and has become inevitable. And by the way, Nitwit Niro flew his new cutter grift jet to Turkey with the incredibly tacky paint job on it and the gold stripe and whatnot, and decided that maybe he,

he's not so fond of it after all. He's going to take Air Force One back home, despite the fact that he said, Oh, my cutter griff jet is the most luxurious

plane in the world. He went to tripe social and triped To honor our brave men and women of the military, we're sending the brand new and truly spectacular Air Force

to Mildenhall Air Force Base in the United Kingdom to give them a chance to tour the aircraft. Everybody's so excited, and we thought that they should be the first. For old time's sake, we'll be taking the former Air Force One from Turkey to Mildenhall. A short trip that's totally worth doing in order to give our great military heroes

a chance to appreciate our beautiful new addition to the Air Force fleet, President Donald J. Trump. Well, there's a bunch of lies in there. One wonders. Where? Well, the independence, Andrew Feinberg posted, the most likely reason to this is that the new ex-Cuttery jet doesn't have the self-defense capabilities needed when flying from Turkey

while in a shooting war with Iran. The actual VC-25 aircraft does have those capabilities. And, of course, the mullers, put a price on nitwit Nero's head. And then Joe Biden's former Secretary of the Air Force, Frank Kendall, said, the biggest thing, and I can't say a lot about it because of classification,

will be the degree to which it has command and control capability on the aircraft. And curiously, all of this shit went down after NITWITWITNRO had declared that, the sea spires over. They're scum, they're scum, that's what they are, they're scum. As if the Iranian leadership cares what a dementia patient calls them. We don't know a lot about Air Force One, but some of the things that are known, for instance,

is that it's got missile defense systems, it has radar jammers, it's shielded against electromagnetic magnetic pulse radiation from a nuclear blast. And probably none of that's on the grift jet. Chris Murphy of Connecticut, meanwhile, as well as 12 of his colleagues in the Senate, Democrats, said a letter yesterday saying,

Americans deserve answers on how the administration has decided to spend their taxpayer dollars and ignore real national security concerns in the rushed VC-25B bridge aircraft retrofit program, all in service of delivering President Trump a pretty fancy plan. for his personal enjoying enjoyment yeah he remember we talked about the scissors the other day how he pocketed the scissors from the ribbon cutting ceremony yeah he wants to keep the jet too and in uh senator murphy's letter he noted that the air force had actually diverted money from the sentinel nuclear missile program to refit the uh

the grift jet and then this because there's so much bizarre it's kind of hard to um hard to keep up but we understand that

let me see here just have to find where I tucked it away this is a converse well we use the term conversation lightly when talking about nitwit Nero but yeah this is a conversation he had regarding

crypto AI and power generation and for once I'm sorry that this isn't a video program because standing behind Nitwit Nero during these babblings

are Michael and Michael and his wife Mrs. Dell of Dell computers big time evil gelical god-bothering It is Wednesday after all. And some little dude who's sort of obliquely behind his left shoulder, and with both of them, Mrs. Dell and Little Dude,

when you watch, you keep expecting them to blink as well. because this shit's crazy. But Mrs. Dell in particular, just... She looks like a character from a horror movie who's been told not to go into the basement, but went anyway.

And then heard the e-e-e-he noises. If you want to go and view a video later, the title on YouTube is Trump defends making money off of crypto while Americans struggle financially. via MS now. Holy shit. Because you really do want the visual for this.

Poor Mrs. Dell. And they're, you know, they're gazillionaires. Why am I saying poor Mrs. Dell? Because she really does. She looks really uncomfortable. While the little dude off of his left shoulder looks like they're probably electrodes attached to his nipples. To me, E-Cryptos are very powerful.

A lot of people using it, Bitcoin. They're using it at levels that nobody. I don't think anybody understands really how power. And if we didn't do it, China would do it in a minute. And if we let our guard down on AI, if I didn't come up with the idea for electric plants, producing plants, they become a utility. Basically, these guys producing, you might as well put them down. Paul, I think you should mark them down as you. Did you notice the pivot?

I want to go back. It's no fun listening to him except for the sort of document the madness. But the pivot. Well, crypto, it's powerful. I don't know. It's so powerful. I don't think anybody except maybe he really knows how powerful it is. And then, what?

Utilities, because frankly. Utilities? To me, crypto is a very powerful. A lot of people are using it, Bitcoin. They're using it at levels that nobody, I don't think anybody understands really how power. And if we didn't do it, China would do it in a minute. Do what? And if we let our guard down on AI, if I didn't come up with the idea for electric plants producing plants, they become a utility, basically.

He came up with the idea for electric power producing plants? has he time traveled is he is he fucking thomas edison at no sorry mr edison i know you were problematic i mean there's that whole thing with the elephant and the metal plate and everything that jesus that is god damn what what what are the spirotees trying to say these guys producing you might as well put them down paul i think you should mark him down as utilities because frankly in many ways are more impressed by their electric plants and they're building them on top of the buildings alongside of the buildings and they're steam powered none of this electromagnetic catapult bullshit and and none of these batteries and sharks

stand alone's right next door but you have to see some of the electric producing the generating plants that they're making nobody's ever seen because they're brilliant people and it's a fantastic thing But if I didn't come up with that idea, maybe somebody else would have I doubt it? Because nobody comes up with brilliant ideas but me. What idea? The power plants. The power plants would there be utilities? Mom, peepaws off his meds again.

Probably needs a change. It's too simple. I mean, it's such a simple idea. Do you know that your friends, Michael when I came up with that and I told Mark Zuckerberg, I told God, he turns to Michael Dell and Mrs. Dell just looks up like, oh no, no plea. Michael, don't say, Michael, nothing. Say nothing. I'm looking at her. Oh, Jesus. I'm looking at her and I'm hearing, I'm hearing that line from Jaws, you know, about the USS Indianapolis and the sharks and, They have dead eyes like dolls eyes and no life. She doesn't, she's not comfortable. Of course, she's standing next to a credibly accused rapist, so, you know, understood.

I told Bezos, I told all of the people, AI, Sam, Elon, told them all, I said, no, no, I'm going to let you build your own plant, and I'm going to get your fast approvals. They thought I was kidding. You know, they said, and they would submit plans without an electric plant. And I'd get calls from Lee's Eldon, who's a star, environmental, fast approvals, good approvals, but fast. And they'd call up and say, what? I mean, really, what? This isn't word salad.

This isn't word soup. This is word porridge. Sir, these plants are not taking advantage. And I call them, I said, what? They said, sir. They said, aren't you produced? They said, we thought. thought you were every one of them they thought i was kidding because they can't finish a god damn

sentence he can't finish a thought and this is broad daylight when they should have him you know medicated well maybe it is because of the medication you know what for anybody who has ever abused stimulants and by that i will include way too much caffeine you know you know you Your brain gets ahead of your mouth sometimes, and they sort of race each other to catch up. And he can't manage the competition. I can't believe it. Number one, they can't believe that they're approved

in a period of a matter of weeks, because if this was somebody else who would be 20 years before, they're all under construction. You know what? It wouldn't be 20 years, but you know why we do that? Because there are things like environmental impact statements that need to be done. You don't just go say, hey, I tell you what, build your data center on top of an old mountain top removal site. It'll be great.

It's really stable. You won't have any, it's not like the floors will be unlevel or the doors won't close right or anything. It's not like that prison in Kentucky that they called Sync Sink Sink. and you can just build a power plant right next to it and burn clean beautiful coal, clean carbon neutral coal. We do rapid approvals. And some are nuclear plants

because nuclear is now really hot and safe. You know what? Nuclear is really hot. Voyager just ran across this the other day. Voyager is so far out in space now. It's beyond the heliosphere, I think it's called, where the sun's radiation, particles, whatever, no longer have any impact.

And sometime, probably later this year, running on plutonium, a plutonium, basically a plutonium battery, which is really hot it's really hot Voyager launched in 1977 will finally be

one light day away from Earth it takes 22 hours to get a message to Voyager and 22 hours to get it back hi Steve in New York's drumph

this is worse than anything I'd heard he's farther gone than even imagined. It's terrifying, isn't it? Because you always have to add in. And this guy has control of our nuclear arsenal. You know, I was

not a huge proponent until two or three years ago. And then I saw what the, my uncle was a big nuclear guy at MIT. He knew nuclear better than anybody, I think. Anybody in the world probably. He was the smartest guy. at MIT everything has to be some sort of

superlative if it's associated with him smarties guy that knew more about nuclear than anybody in the world I haven't I know I've heard of his uncle at MIT he was apparently quite the quite the

impressive scientist but I doubt if he knew more about nuclear nuclear what nuclear propulsion nuclear energy nuclear what He probably knew a lot about it, but everybody has to be the best. It has to be the maximum mostest.

Leah, New York says, you can't just build a power plant? Really? You can build a ballroom by demolishing, and they can't stop you. You can't just build a power plant. I told them they need to build power plants, and then there'll be utilities. They could be utilities. I don't know. Make sure they're not utilities.

I'm with Steve on this one. I've heard a lot of just dumpster soup come out of this guy's mouth. But this is And again, if you watch the video,

Mrs. Dell is not well. Anybody want to start a lyric because she's not. Oh. Oh, wow. And Michael Dells just sitting there saying, oh, praise Jesus, I'm getting another few billion dollars here. Yeah, you know it.

And little dude over his left shoulder is like, cast, side-eyeing, kind of nodding at somebody. If he was a vaudeville producer, that would be the get-the-hook look. to the head for 41 years and he said to me one day he said you know nuclear is going to be the most important thing but it's also got to be watched

he's got to be plastics he said plastics I was in the swimming pool and he just leaned down and I had my goggles on and he said plastics watch very carefully because it can build the world but it can also destroy the world he said that I said uncle John that was a long time ago

but he was exactly right. He called it exactly right. But what they've done with nuclear in terms of generating energy is absolutely, you know, a submarine can run at full speed for 30 years without having to refuel. The only thing it has to do is come up every 90 days for food. They can't solve the food problem. But think of it. A submarine without having to gas up can run for 30 years.

years at full speed without stopping. I mean, who would believe a thing like that? Everybody who knows about nuclear submarines since the fucking Nautilus? Does he know that our aircraft carrier

are nuclear too? I kind of want to do a little check-in with the Horn family community congregation. Because I got a little bit of validation from Steve there. is this as crazy as I because

I mean nuts delulu elevator doesn't go all the way to the top yeah Micah says he can't even finish a single thought it's like remember when we were in like elementary school and we had to do like match the first part of the sentence with the second part it's like that but when you get them wrong god almighty

How do you not And this We're halfway through this clip, y'all We are halfway through this clip And it's not going to get any better They don't have to come up for gas The submarines just have to come up for food What do submarines eat?

Does he know that there are batteries In submarines He doesn't like batteries But fortunately we have the best technology and we have the best submarines. It's something we lead the world in by 15 years. Any other questions? I'll just go ahead.

Thank you so much, Mr. President. What? I said, thank you so much, Mr. President. Jennifer Schoberger on the Trump account, SpaceX president has said that she's going to donate shares to the Trump account. Have you spoken at all with Elon Musk about further share donations as well as other corporate shares about share donations? I'm like a cheerleader for geniuses.

I love geniuses. I love high IQ people. He's a high IQ person. I love high IQ people. And I speak to Elon. I speak to Mark. I speak to Jeff. I speak to everybody.

By the way, in the first term, less so. In fact, at my first inauguration, none of them were standing behind me. They were just the opposite. And now at this later... And here we go. We're off to the races. It was about Trump account. The question was about Trump accounts.

Ha! And now we're... I love geniuses. Mother McCree! Actually, this was a couple of days ago, Billable. But... Billable Rick says, this speech about nuclear subs is as crazy

as the comment about the British bombing U.S. airports during the Revolutionary War. Yeah? And this has a side order of grievance gravy. Yeah, and the first term, not so much, but now they're all, now they're all sucking my little winky. To Mark, I speak to Jeff. I speak to everybody. By the way, in the first term, less so. In fact, at my first inauguration, none of them were standing behind me. They were just the opposite. And now at this last inauguration, every one of them was standing. and behind me. It was sort of amazing. No, I speak to all of them and I encourage them. I want them to be tremendously successful. Now, there's a thing called TikTok. Have you heard of it?

I was watching a show this morning. Maria Bordoroma, she's saying. Well, at least, see, okay, so this is another one of those moments. He's got TikTok on the brain, but by the time he got to Europe, it had become Tic Tac. There's this thing called TikTok. Have you heard of it? There are Kalahari Bushmen on the, on the, on the, on the African Savannah, who have heard of TikTok. Oh, Jesus. Only the best submarines. Christopher writes, hi Roxanne. Hi, Christopher.

Oh, you sweet summer child. What do submarines eat, really? Haven't you ever heard of a submarine sandwich? See who's got the big brain now? I want a good sub. Shame on you, Christopher. Exactly, George and Korskulled. What did Donald's mother say? What kind of a monster have we raised?

Yeah. And that was when he arguably had his faculties. That's not now. Fantastic. And on her show, they were talking about the dangers of TikTok. And Chinese, you know, a whole thing with spying and what they're doing with that. Well, except it was announced about two days ago the new numbers just came out. You know who the number one person in TikTok is by far?

Trump, me. Of course. He doesn't even remember that he threatened to shut TikTok down. but the numbers you're in and who's the number one person on tic-tuck me trump and he's so coy when he brings that and he think and steve in new york says tick-tuck have you heard of it yes says steve as have about five billion people quite literally he's fucking gone truly and by the way and i'm not being bitchy here. Apparently they have a hard time getting him to sit still to get his his pumpkin face on because again they can't get it blended to his hair line. What they need to do is actually, come on, ladies,

we've done this. You bring your hair back, you make sure your foundation is blended all the way up to your hair line and then you style your hair. Or, you know, wig cap, the headband comb, what have you. But apparently they do his hair first, and then they try to get him to sit still long enough to get his pumpkin face on, and they can't quite get the hairline. And Jesus Christ, I mean, you want to talk about submarines. He doesn't have bags under his eyes.

He has fucking steamer trunks. Nuclear submarine trunks. and it would be easy to say ah ha ha ha yeah and it's kind of like what tom nichols and those guys were saying to Nicole Wallace earlier oh yeah that's so funny he's crazy dude could blow up the world in the middle of the tantrum and I don't know maybe Jonathan Swan Maggie Haberman in a couple of years you know, will publish another book from the rubble of the nuclear wreckage and say, oh yeah, we had White House insiders telling us three years ago that he has to constantly be stopped from starting a nuclear holocaust.

Well, thanks, Johnny, thanks, Mags. I hope your book profits pay for your nuclear radiance. impervious bubble nuclear Jimmy in the Great Northwest says yes nuclear aircraft carriers he probably thinks they go under every 90 days and don't say thinks

Jimmy you don't use the word thinks in reference to Donald Trump he is no longer capable of thought again the question was about Trump accounts we got into TikTok

and then he starts talking about he's number one on TikTok in the world. Had Joe Biden done this, they would, the multimillionaire for-profit media would have been screaming for him to be put in a straight jacket

and hauled away to a nice, soft room and given a purple crayon to write on the wall with with his toes. I'm sorry, I'm not trying to elevate anyone's blood pressure, let alone my own. But this is fucking terrifying. This is more horrifying than any horror movie. This is, you know, this so far exceeds, Can you still hear the lambs, Claris?

Or, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, all of it. Chainsaws, leg, bear traps. The entire saw series of horror movies. This is nightmare fuel. I need to settle down. I'm number one. Like Taylor Swift was number 11. I'm number one in TikTok by far.

And the numbers just came out. And I said, well, you know, I'm hearing about how they influence. They're talking about their tremendous danger because they influence. But if they influence so badly, I mean, I'm saying all things like I love our country. We've got to stop communism. We've got this and that. We're going to do a lot. We're doing a lot of things.

But I'm by far number one. It was sent to me by, you know, the list comes out. Number one, number two. I was number one by a lot. So I guess maybe, I don't know. Maybe they're bad. Maybe they're not. I know one thing.

They what? They TikTok? They Trump accounts? They what? They, the people who try to blend his pumpkin face into his hairline? What? Thank you, Steve. A review.

The program is nearing the close. I need to tell you that this was a great program tonight. A definite five-star review. Well, see how I relax when the roof is impervious to rain. And I'm not afraid of getting lit up by... The batteries, the batteries down. It's the sharks and the batteries and the water. And the clip.

The clip. My dear, dear friends, the clip, still has almost a minute to go. But I'm by far number one. It was sent to me by, you know, the list comes out. Number one, number two. I was number one by a lot. Do you get that?

The list was sent to me by Dead Brain Cell. I'm number one by a lot. Who sent you? No, who sent you the list, Donnie? You goddamn geriatric, You know what? Moscow Mitch McConnell probably has more competent brain activity going on right this very instant than this fucking pedophile.

So I guess maybe, I don't know, maybe they're bad, maybe they're not. I know one thing, great American people, tremendous business people and companies bought it. I call President Xi and everyone said he was a hard know. he was a hard note but i i said you know it's a good thing for ticot but it's good for us too so that's what it is he's touting ticot because one of his maggot billionaire pals or a consortium of them are running it you uncomfortable i'm not trying to make you uncomfortable but jesus and then well coming out of

Arkansas just to wrap things up this evening Haley sent along a note she keeps track of things in Arkansas over the weekend the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senator from Arkansas who's challenging Tom Cotton

had an unannounced visitor to her home K-A-R-K NBC has the story. The candidate's name is Hallie Schaffner. And she put out a statement

earlier today. Apparently, somebody strapped up, showed up at her house over the weekend. They were looking for a member of her campaign team. The Little Rock PD

showed up efficaciously. in her statement, she said, this was a line that should not be crossed. Campaign events, town halls, community meetings, phone calls, and emails of the appropriate places to share concerns or disagreements. Not showing up unannounced at someone's home, public officials, candidates, and their family should all be able to feel safe where they live.

As a wife and mother, this is deeply disturbing and personal. My husband and our son did not choose to run for office. They deserve the same sense of safety and peace in our home that every Arkansas family deserves in theirs. The person, she said, was a menace. Political violence and intimidation have no place in our democracy. We can disagree passionately without inflicting fear and menace onto our neighborhoods or our homes. Yeah, but, well, that's Tom bobble-throated cotton between the ears' entire political existence.

Good Lord. Oh, and, okay, this is funny. and terrifying at the same time. You know how... We're the very best at cyber. Nobody does cyber like we do cyber. Well, Whiskey Pete Kegbreath, the DUI hires, the United States Army,

has had to take down a bunch of websites because hackers got into them and plastered the websites with things like the U.S. President as a pedophile and a thief. Fucking Trump and Tom Barrick. Tom Barrick is the ambassador to Turkey Yeah they did a number on those websites

And You know there's a difference between cleaning up the website And having to take it down They had to take them down Because they couldn't stop them from getting in Lord I think I think I'll knock off now

That's the program Thanks everybody Oh one last thing. Everything Trump touches dies. And there's a disaster underway in D.C. and no, it has nothing to do with

the reflecting pool. He's been barking and grunting about how I've renovated all the fountains. Well, this time it's Malcolm X. Park, known by some as Meridian Hill Park. It has a beautiful cascading

fountain. And it'll allegedly received a full restoration. But, well, as of yesterday, all the water going down it was a really nasty, thick, opaque, brown. This is the same fountain where Whiskey Pete had an event six days ago, in which he declared, you ensure that our capital is safe and secure.

That one visitor said, I think it's pretty nasty. I was literally here yesterday and it looked pretty good. It was clear. It was beautiful. Now it's brown. It's murky. There's no accountability. It's being described not just as brown, but as bright orange.

God, it sounds like acid mine drainage. Apparently the National Park Service was testing two of the upper fountains that weren't part of the beautification contract. But they turned them on and there was a bunch of filth and sludge in pipes. And it ran in with the other water

and, well, brown and stinky. Jesus Christ, don't anybody tell Secretary Whalehead, dead bear, raccoon, penis, brainworm lamprey about it or he'll take his grandchildren to wade in it. everything Trump touches dies. Oh, and I need to real quick like address the issue that I raised in the showpost over on blue sky. This story comes out of the Buckeye State, Ohio.

A federal judge there has kind of hammered a nail into nitwit Niro's attempt to freeze benefit applications for immigrants. Along the way, the judge, U.S. District Judge Algernon Marbley, said, Trump and Vance have outright hostility towards immigrants, both before and after the 2024 presidential elections. Their ire appears focused on immigrants from countries in the Caribbean, South America, Africa, and Asia. And then he started quoting Trump, including the shithole country's quote, or his claim that immigrants are poisoning the blood of the country. And he even brought up, and this is, well, this is noteworthy because this is a judge in Ohio,

they're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats. He also quoted Jimmy Dick Bowman directly saying in his repulsive memoir if I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people then that's what I'm going to do and the judge said

this general hostility to immigration contrasts with an apparent interest in and preference for the migration of white people. It ain't much but it goes in the W column. Someday, some judge will point out the fact that nitwit Nero's dear old daddy was an actual

Klansman. And no, no, no, absolutely not, Brother Deacon Asa, that's just revolting. Okay, that's the program. That really is. That's the program. Thanks, everybody. Each and every one of you who share your precious finite time

engaging in the program in whatever manner you choose. thanks to our challenge makers, challenge respondents. There's a $25 challenge on the table, courtesy of Routes. It's the Zelensky-Zinger challenge. If somebody's got $25, Routes will add $25 to it. And we'll be down to $29.30 to finish the month fully funded. We've not been ahead of the game for a very, very long time. And it would be nice if we could stay that way.

Where it goes. I don't know. Did you inhale any fumes or anything while you were working on the washing machine? Just, you're um, your umbelosis would not like to it. Okay, he took issue with Steve's five-star review earlier and said that the program was, and I quote, it was a sort of distraction from the mundane daily flow. I think that's a washing machine reference. Let's just say the program is more like Vagicil for the mind.

Ah Brother Deacon The Juvenile Delinquent Triumvirate Hey Where's Amelio? I didn't hear from Emilio today Is he Is he grieving over the spies

losing to Switzerland? Just wondering And Well, by the way, if you could take a moment And leave us a review or remark A comment on the podcast Wherever you download it, it's always helpful The more interaction
