Head-ON With Robyn Roxanne Kincaid - Moran Monday, Head-ON With Roxanne Kincaid, 23 February 2026

Episode Date: February 24, 2026

There's no bottom to the TrumpStein filth. Now, we know it reaches all the way back to Iran-Contra. One senses, however, that pieces are beginning to fall into place. Nitwit Nero will literally have to face the survivors in his SOtU on Tuesday evening. 

The password is powder. 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 discussin, 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 Mountain... top 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 23rd day of February, 2006. This is the horn. Head on. Dot 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 Aany Real Time Madcap Multimedia Extravaganza, But is the Horn chat room in the three hours in which this program is live, Monday through Friday, 5 to 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, Pacific Standard Time, All time zones in between, and the Great Globe round, and whatever time it is when you're listening to the podcast. And if you are a member of the podcasting contingent of the Horn Family Community Congregation, thanks so much for spending your time with us that way. if you could take a moment please and leave a remark or review a comment on your podcasting platform to let the algorithms know that you're listening and others are listening well it would be awfully helpful and very much appreciated and thanks so much to those few of you who do it means a lot y'all are the one and only advertising and PR department of the horn family community congregation and i thank you for the time you take to let people know that this program means something to you thank you so very much indeed hi i'm roxan it is more and monday on the horn i'm a little bit late because well the power's been blinking on and off here and it goes

it went off a little bit before airtime and took a little while to get back. So fingers crossed, but the usual disclaimer applies if you hear your humble ostus merrily yammering away, prattling on, and then suddenly, poof, she's gone in mid-sentence. Well, there's a reason. And the reason is that we've been hit by this. late February snowstorm, and it has hit with a vengeance. But I'm proud to say I didn't have a six or seven hour drive home from Parkersburg. Gosh, I miss Victoria.

Something fierce, but time here, time there. No, I got out and ran ahead of the storm all the way home. And about two hours after I pulled into the driveway here. at the magnificent Kincaid mansion, the snow began in earnest. And it snowed and snowed and snowed. I'd say we've got north of six inches of the filthy white stuff on the ground. And, well, it's still coming down and will continue so to do until about 2 o'clock tomorrow, the 24th morning. Ugh

So, yeah And in fact, Ralps sent me a photo Snowfall near her apartment up in New Jersey I'll offer a $25 challenge for the 15 to 16 inches of snow near me in New Jersey Oh my goodness, Ralphs

Oh, y'all got hit Yeah, that's a true north And that's a true nor'easter Well, we didn't get that but we got we got whacked like I said the power has been

blinking like a Christmas light and I just but for those of you who fret there is well I brought a trunk load

of propane and so let's see one two three four five six seven we've got 84 bottles of gas against the wall.

And please don't earworm yourself with that. It just, because it's been done to me, and it's no damn, 83 bottles of gas. Stop it! Roxanne! But at any rate, yeah, that's the password was powder, and this does appear to be pretty much a powder snow. Mercifully, there was no. ice, either in the

goon or the precipitation form. So we'll take our wins where we can get them. But thank you, Ralph, for the challenge, and you just stay inside and warm and safe and keep Kayla and Teigen in. I'm sure they're good sensible kitties, and no better than to want to go out romping in that misery.

But if we do that, and thanks very kindly to Charlie over at APS Radio News. Thank you very kindly for jumping in and helping out. Every program here at the Horn begins with gratitude, and this program is no different. So thanks go out to Charlie, as noted, at APS Radio News. Thank you to our buddy Dave at Mellon-Moonlet-Netto. Thank you, David, in Oregon.

Thank you, so kind. kindly. And thank you, John. Thank you very much indeed. And thank you to Felicia. Thanks so much, Felicia. And continuing onward, thank you as well. Well, that's it. Oh, thank you, Tracy, in L.A. Thank you all for helping to keep independent, progressive, liberal radio alive on the internet, going into our 23rd year yeah that's a stop

thank you where we are well we are beginning this final week of February and the fundraising

deficit is at 3,390 so a little less than $700 a day on average to finish the month of February fully funded. So I hope we can, if we could knock it down to where it's just one week, but even that's a Herculesian task.

Yeah, as Micah notes, fall spring was nice while it lasted, I guess. And I don't think that was really false spring. That's just a little, that was just an amuse-bush for the spring that will, yet find us. And we'll get there. I was talking with my

youngest daughter who's out in New Mexico earlier and she's like, I'm so ready for spring. I said me to and it's only 20, the official first day, you know, the

Vernal Equinox is about 26 days away. Sorry if I sound a little stopped up. I am. Oh, my guess is we still have fall spring number two coming up. Michigan has 12 seasons, she tells me. Actual winter, spring of deception, second but short-lived winter, full spring number two, third winter, but with an ice storm, allergy season, actual spring that lasts a week, right into summer.

It's not the heat, it's the humidity. False fall is here. Optional second summer, pumpkin spice, and spooky season. Lather rinse, repeat. Where is it just a Minnesota? Where's the reference to the mosquitoes, the size of eagles? Clapping away into the sunset with the little babies clutched in their beaks. Beaks?

Mosquitoes with beaks? Mm-hmm. Hang in there, Micah. I know. It's frustrating as hell. Now, where do we start for this? More and Monday. Oh, they have the mosquitoes in Michigan, but they aren't a statewide thing.

Okay. Oh, and my honey got up, you know, I've been driving her to work while I've been up there because we enjoy that. And she got up to drive to work and battery was dead in her car. You do have to charge, or start cars from time to time. And I don't know why I didn't think about that. But, yeah, you do have to start them during a. cold weather or well cold will sap a battery and that's what happened so she had to catch a ride now again more in monday yeah uh the more and monday

circus tent um certainly did make a stop of real significance over the weekend we'll get to it here in a second But, yeah. You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. You know, morons. Hurry, hurry, hurry, step right up. It's more in Monday on the horn. Yes, indeed, yes indeed.

Just a few steps away from the carnival midway, where only recently you were vainly tossing ping pong balls at goldfish bowls in a... In an incomprehensible hope of taking home a not exactly precious baby iguana, no, well, just steps away from there is the Moran Monday circus tent. Behind this cybernetic veil of canvas, well, we've got them all. Birthers, deathers, ninthers, tenthers, birchers, booger eaters, maggots, centrists, moderate Republicans, yes.

libertarians always there they're all there waiting for your stunned amazed disgusted gaze but as you go through the Moran Monday tent we do have an advisory for you please keep a close watch on watches purses wallets

rings bracelets necklaces even piercings let alone that precious little baby iguana you actually manage to win throwing ping-paw balls at goldfish bowls as well as European-style messenger bags because the morands, being conservatives, can get grabby. Head for the hills, you'll be up to your armpits in morands.

Uh-huh. Really? And for true. And we're going to start this evening. God knows there's a million things we could be talking about, and we will talk about some of them, not the least of which is our coping strategies for dealing with the state of disunion heading our way tomorrow. That's out there. Cash Patel getting liquored up with the U.S. men's hockey team, for which he spent 75,000 taxpayer dollars flying to see the final game.

And, well, ever so much more than that. But with that mention, and this is definitely not a more-in-Monday nomination, kudos go out to the women's U.S. hockey team, who, when invited, imagine this, women invited to knit with, Nero's White House said, you know, we'd love to. But, well, we're all doing a collective manny-pity, and our hair will be up in rollers. And, you know, we've got prior engagements and commitments,

which is all a long way of saying, we're not getting within a hundred miles of the White House, as long as that filthy fucking pedophile is in it, and no woman in her right mind ever should. So again, kudos to the U.S. women's hockey team for turning down a visit to the pedophile White House. But where I have planned to start, and this is somewhat serendipitous,

Well, early, what was it, Saturday morning? Yeah. I got a link from Brother Deacon Asa to a video interview, and it was of some length, but I realized it would be of significance because the Brother Deacon doesn't just randomly send me, Hey, you got to watch this. he sent me this link from Middle East Eye of David Hurst interviewing Saudi Shura Council

former Saudi Shura Council member Ahmed Altuwajri who has some rather interesting things to say the title of the piece if you want to find it is Abu Dhabi is Israel's Trojan horse, senior Saudi figure, tells the David Hurst podcast. And of course, David Hurst has a lovely Paul Jackson. But he also appears to know his shit.

And I watched, and it was a fascinating discussion. But at about the 50-minute mark, there came an observation. by Dr. Altu Wajri that seemed awfully familiar. Let's pick it up there and see if we can get it. Over 2 million people into tents. It has also conducted a massive pogrom in the West Bank. And just on Sunday, very recently, Israel has announced the day factor the de facto annexation of the West Bank, including increasing control of the Ibrahimi Mosque

in Hebron, the opening of the Palestinian Land Registry, so it will make it easier for settlers to identify the Palestinian owners of land so that they can seize it, and increase the speed of settlements in the West Bank. In practical terms, what can Saudi Arabia do to stop this? Saudi Arabia can do a lot. So Arabia is a heavy weight in the region. But let me first address the fact that what Israel is doing is not just a reaction to what happened in October 7th or to what may have happened in southern Lebanon or in the West Bank. As I mentioned, the Udid Union or Union Union strategy that he published in 1982

is a summary of the great Israeli ambition of their promised land that goes from the Euphrates to the Nile and from north Syria to the middle of the Arabian Peninsula. They are really implementing their strategy and their crazy dreams. And every action by Israel should be looked at in this context. I think it's time that not only the... the Arab world realize this fact and start real action to defend the Arab world from it. But I think the whole world, I personally believe Israel is not only a danger to the Palestinians. It's not a threat to Saudi Arabia or Egypt or Syria.

Israel is a threat to the whole world and in the top of the whole world it's a threat to Jews and to Judaism what Israel is has been doing and is doing is really destroying Judaism it is destroying the image of Jews everywhere and we have seen how the the world has changed in their emotions and feelings towards the Israelis and unfortunately accordingly to the Jewish people so it's this enormous threat

has to be realized in its reality and never listen to the rhetoric of Benjamin Netanyahu or the other Israeli officials Israel briefly is a threat to humanity, it's a threat to Judaism, it's a threat to

Judaism, it's a threat to Jews, and definitely it is a threat to the region and to the Arab world. In light of this, definitely Saudi Arabia will not stand still, nor any other Arab country will stand still. It's a moral, it's a human, and it's an existential responsibility to take action against this threat and to start uniting, organizing, to put an end to it. Otherwise, God knows what will happen. But in reality, the Arab League has faded in importance and folded itself into the Trump initiative. and the two are based on completely different principles.

The Arab Peace Initiative that then Crown Prince Abdullah bravely promoted was founded on the principle of land for peace. The Trump and Kushner formula is founded on the principle of surrender for survival. The Abraham Accords that they're still trying to push suppresses Palestinian statehood and in return for

a cessation of Israel's assassination attempts. But even that isn't guaranteed because we know what's happening in southern Lebanon and we know what's happening in Gaza where the ceasefire isn't being adhered to and where there are more than a thousand

infringements and over 500 Palestinians have been killed while Trump is saying, oh yes, the ceasefire still exists. So there are fundamental problems here in trying to put the whole track back onto a formula based on mutual respect and land for peace. What can Saudi Arabia do about it? This is a camera lucid. That is an advertisement, and we do not wish to hear it.

Well, we have to remember always. that Israel could have never done what it has done during the last 76 years without the support mainly from Britain, America, France and Germany, and to a certain extent, the Western General. The genocide in Gaza, which is still going on, by the way, it hasn't stopped. and it has extended to the West Bank as well. The genocide couldn't have happened without the American, the British, the German military support

and the diplomatic support. America used the veto tens of times from since 1948 until now. At the UN Security Council. Yes. uh... uh... so that this has always to be remembered it's really ironic

that those who whose hands are stained with blood the blood of uh... personians in gaza are the ones who are invited now to govern gaza and to find the solution for the Palestinians it's it's really crazy it is really crazy let's make no mistake

about that. And part of the reason for this interview taking place at all was the fact that this man, Ahmed al-Tuajri said what he said about the Arab Emirates

being the Trojan horse of Israeli ambitions. And of course, an immediate salvo was fired forth out of Israel. Oh, he's anti-Semitic. and he responded to the question, when put to him,

I am a Semite myself. But he's also a former member of the Shura Council, which advises the most noble, serene, high graciousness of the crown of Saudi Arabia. So maybe, you know, maybe, but he's speaking here just on his own behalf. He's not on the council now. So some might just say,

Well, all that business about an Israeli scholar in 1982 declaring that Israel must control the land from the Euphrates to the Mediterranean, from northern Syria, to the Nile, to parts of the Arabian Peninsula. well, you know, he's a Saudi, and, you know, that's just adjut prop. Right. I mean, this right here really was a gift from the goddess of irony. Because I didn't realize how this was going to dovetail with something that had recently occurred. You might recall, in last week's programs, we talked about how, as he tried to leave, leave Israel, not get in, leave. That testicle-toasting, Tuckio Rose Carlson, who had gone there to have a conversation with pastor, brother, minister, former governor, former presidential candidate, probably still.

Well, he can't. Yeah, of course he can. This administration is corrupt. Phony, baloney, diabetes cure salesman, Mike Huxterby of Arkansas. Tuckio Rose had gone there to interview him, and it did not go well for Pastor, et cetera, Huxterby, because after it was over, he put out an excrement storm on X of some 29 posts, talking about how, oh, he was misunderstood, or he misspoke, or he had a mouth full of bubble gun, or something, anything, to explain away what happened in the interview.

And what happened in the interview, though, was just as Tuckio Rose Carlson burned Rafaelito Eduardo Cruz, the anointed booger-eaten future King of America to the ground using Bible verses, he did the same thing on this Southern Baptist Gospel Sharp side hustling as the ambassador to Israel. And when I heard the clip, I was like, wait a minute, I just heard that a few minutes ago. Hold on. See if this blows your mind a little bit too.

Oh, wait a minute. Works a lot better, Roxanne, when you know you unmute it. There we go. You've appealed to Genesis. Genesis 15 says it's Abram, it's pre-Abraim, it's Abraham, it's Abram, receives from God the news that his descendants will inherit the land, and you tell me as the the the theologian, if I'm getting this wrong, but from the Euphrates to the Nile. I think that's right. And that would include, like basically the entire Middle East. That would be the Levant, so that would be Israel, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon.

would also be big parts of Saudi Arabia and Iraq. I'm not sure it would go that far. I mean, it would be a big piece of land, but here's the point. It would be a lot of places that are now countries. But this particular area that we're talking about now, Israel, is a land that God gave through Abraham to a people that he chose. It was a people, a place. Pardon me while I just have a little minor concern. interruption over all of this notion of the most powerful force in the universe,

being nothing more tawdry than a real estate agent. But, you know, it's more on Monday. Place and a purpose. We can look at it that way. Christian Zionism. I want to go back because that's where we started on this. I'm not going to let you off on this because you have gone in it three times that God gave this land to this people. And so it is entirely fair for me with respect.

to ask, what land are you talking about? Because I just read Genesis 15, as I have many times. And that land, I think it says, from the Nile to the Euphrates, which is, once again, basically the entire Middle East. So God gave that land to his people, the Jews, or he didn't. You're saying he did. What does that mean? Does Israel have the right to that land? Because you're appealing to Genesis. You're saying that's the original deed. it would be fine if they took it all. None of that audio has been messed with. The United States Ambassador to Israel said there, and you heard it with your own ears,

it would be fine if Israel invaded and conquered Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iraq, Jordan and a hunk of Saudi Arabia. A little bit of trivia that people who aren't necessarily into the Bible, and I know it's not Wednesday, but this is important because, you know, Nitwit Nero wants to start a war with Iran and send American sons and daughters. Of course, they'll all be cis, so the parents of trans sons and daughters don't have to worry. but going to send them to war against a country that isn't making war on us

God, that sounds awfully familiar and damned if the other country we did that too didn't start with I-R-A Iran is just a little... The N is a little earlier in the alphabet than the Q. Good, God, it's terrifying. But no, what I was going to point out is that well you have to understand a little bit about biblical scholarship and that is that for instance the portion of the old testament that makes up the Torah of course was not written by the hand of God no no finger carving on rocks like in that Cecil B. DeMille movie it's a it's a copy pasta and that is to say there are at least

three maybe four different documents that were all merged roughly about the time of the Babylonian captivity under either Artaxer the first or Artaxerxes the second and so you've got a version of

Genesis that's called J Y for J for for Yehovah you got another one called E for Elohim and

both of those were probably committed to writing after Israel and Judah had split into two countries the J document seems to come from Judah the E document seems to come from Israel

and then there's a hybrid that comes along and then finally Deuteronomy comes along and that is an entirely separate creature that was apparently created after the Assyrians about, oh what, the 8th century or so BCE got tired of putting up with the Kingdom of Israel shit and just invaded them and scattered them to the four winds.

A few refugees made it into Judah, where they were welcomed with open arms, and they began hybridizing the faith. And that was when Jerusalem became the epicenter of what we know today is Judaism. The thing is, though, the two different versions, one of them speaks of God speaking to Moses, on Sinai, while the other version says that God spoke to Moses at a place called Horeb.

Well, here's one thing we know for damn sure. Sinai sits within the territorial boundaries of who? That's right. The most serene, high, noble, gracious kingdom of Saudi Arabia. And nitwit Nero is about to try to start World War III, and frankly it would not surprise me at all for him to use his state of disunion address to announce that the bombs had already started falling. The Israelis murdered some Iranian military over the weekend. But what I want to point out is that I have been saying this here for ages, that people, like Belizeel Smotrich, who is on Psychobibi's cabinet, and Idemar Ben-Givir, another punk-ass thug,

who really was convicted under Israeli law of violations of Israel's terrorism laws. Well, both of those goons are on Netanyahu's cabinet, and they are both fervent. rabid believers in that Genesis 15 horseshit about Magna Israel, Greater Israel.

Kind of makes you wonder, you know, it's not even so much Genesis, as where they might have gotten Magna Magna Deutschland, anybody? Yeah. Israeli religious insanity

is not worth the price. of living humanity on the rest of the planet. And we have had governments, Democratic and Republican, over the years, that have humiliated the American people by bowing and scraping before the Israeli government. The American people have gone begging for access to health care, while the money we send to Israel props up universal health care there. just one of those things.

And now we stand on the brink of war. You know, at one point in the last couple of weeks, nitwit Nero said something of that, I don't necessarily want to go to war with Iran, but... And lo and behold, next thing you knew, Psycho Beebe was in the air on the way to Washington because he understands nitwit Niro probably better than anyone else, BB being a pal of Jeffrey Epstein and all,

and Epstein having worked for Israeli intelligence, you know, while he was running a pedophile sex trafficking ring. And so B.B. Psycho Bibi had to get to D.C. Oh, no, no, no, no. We're going to... Oh, Mr. President, you have to wipe Iran off the face of the map in order to be a truly great American president. Jesus, it's a scary time. The original deed, Lee in New York, says, Does Tucker read the original Aramaic? Just asking, by the way, was Gaza zoned for casinos? If it hasn't been, it will be.

And you know what? They'll say that God told them to. Yeah. And from Kim in New York. And by the way, all of you New Yorkers, I hope you're coping with the snow as best as you can possibly be helped. hopefully you've got good infrastructure to clear the roads and whatnot.

God the real estate agent, writes Kim. I wonder what God's commission for that transaction was. Kim, I don't want to gross anybody out and take a run at dinner in the Eastern Standard Time Zone, but he demanded his commission be paid in little pieces of penis. uh... kim says is a jew i'm absolutely disgusted by this so-called ambassador which as far as i know is it a religious post who wants israel to take over all of the middle east so that said ambassador and his fellow christian zionists can hurry along the second coming fuckers

and and and see the israeli government the fascists in israel are in in israel are uh... proud practitioners of practical real politic. So they say, well, you know, let them believe what they want to believe. We know it's all bullshit. But their money spends real good. Because people like Mike Huxterby do, in fact, believe

that if they can just, you know, get a perfect red heifer and get all the temple tableware together and have everything in place, then Jesus will come down in his holy rolls blast the Dome of the Rock to smithereens, declare himself the true Messiah, and then the Israelis will go, no, you're not. And the ultra-Orthodox will say,

no, you're not. You didn't meet this test, he didn't meet that test. Yeah, we're pretty sure you're not to Messiah. And this is what gets Pastor, Brother, minister, former governor, former presidential candidate, diabetes, cure salesman, ambassador, Mike, Huxterby, all in a hot and bothered lather. When that happens, Jesus gets to look at his Christian followers and say, hey, you know, you always wanted to kill you some Jews?

Here you go, boys. Get at it. They won't acknowledge me as Messiah, so they don't deserve to live. I didn't just make that up. That's how weird and sick and twisted the people who advanced. all these policies and ideas are. As Steve in New York, hopefully soon Steve from Columbus has pointed out, the early organizing document, what, 1978,

the founding document of Likud, the hard right-wing political party in Israel, actually contains the phrase, from the river to the sea, talking about greater Israel. And the river in question is the Euphrates. Because I guess some of them still have a bit of a heart on about that whole Babylonian captivity thing and having the kingdom of Israel scattered to the four winds by the Assyrians, all that early Iron Age stuff that followed on the collapse of the late Bronze Age, it's a hell of a thing.

since you ruined dinner already and Lee says God does not charge a fee Tips are appreciated Let's take a little off the top Mm-hmm And of course Cynthia pointing out There is no God to give anything to fucking anybody

Well try to Try to tell that to people with a bronze age mindset Cynthia But your point is well taken. Oh, and George and Corsegold earlier today. Today's Tom Tomorrow cartoon features

Sparky the Penguin announcing he's running for president. Get a load of his promises to remove any trace of Trump from America. I read it via Daily Coast. Domnato Memoria, y'all. I've been talking about it since January the 20th,

2025. Yay for Tom Tomorrow and Sparky the Penguin. That's where that's where it begins. Oh, and Ralph's asking me to please make sure that I had in the stack. Cash Patel

getting shit-faced with the U.S. hockey team. Did the U.S. hockey team not understand that they were trashing their own future by cavorting with the maggots?

Well, over at over at MS Now, their reporter Kandelan pointed out that there was probably some shady business going on relative to how Cash suddenly found himself going to the hockey match. FBI director Cash Patel is facing backlash this morning after celebrating with the U.S. men's Olympic hockey team in the locker room following their gold medal win over Canada. You see there, this is video sent to MS. Now. by several former FBI and Justice Department officials. And in that video, he's partying and cheering and raising up a gold medal and got a bottle of some kind of alcohol in his hand.

And man, I mean, he's yelling and screaming and carrying on it like he actually played in the game. Fucking posers, I hate him. Patel's there with the team tugging and spraying a drink into the air as one of the players. and puts a gold medal around his neck. That celebration is facing scrutiny because the FBI director flew to Milan on the FBI's private jet, on taxpayer money, on what the agency says was a business trip. MS now, Justice and Intelligence Reporter Kandelan joins us with more of his reporting. Ken, you had a back and forth.

I know with the FBI spokesman about the director's trip to Italy. Break down for us what happened and what Patel and the agency are saying about it. Yeah, good morning on it. And that comment by Ben Williamson is exactly what's sparking so much controversy, because when Carol Lennox and I reported a few days ago that Patel had taken the FBI jet to Milan, Ben Williamson pushed back strongly and said, this is an official visit. We have a lot of important meetings set up. He's not going to watch the Olympic hockey game, even though he tweeted in July that he would, he planned to watch the U.S. men's Olympic hockey team play in Milan. So he sort of set this all up. But he said he had official meetings, and he did have official meetings. But when those videos began to emerge last night showing him celebrating in the locker room, that really underscored that whatever else he was doing, he definitely went there to watch the U.S. try to win and ultimately win the gold medal. And that really rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. And there was another exchange.

Patel himself screenshotsed a post by my colleague, Carol Enig, underscoring what happened, why he was at the hockey game, and suggesting that it was inappropriate to even, mention that because he also had official visits. None of this, none of this is going over well with current and former FBI officials. You tell us more about that. What are they saying? How are they viewing this? And how much did the American taxpayer end up paying for all this? Well, so it's probably $100,000 just for the flight alone. But when you consider the hotel rooms, the cost of the security detail, it could be in the millions, we are being told for this trip. And look, Cash Patel is a controversial figure. A lot of people don't like him anyway. I have never seen

the kind of disgust from current and former FBI officials, as we are hearing about and seeing in response to what they're calling his antics in the locker room. And this is from people who normally support Patel and Donald Trump, MAGA, former FBI agents I'm hearing from today, saying it's just not how an FBI director should act, especially when you're going over there paid for by the taxpayers on what are supposedly official visits. There's nothing he did that was inappropriate. People chug beer and celebrate all the time after championship wins, but not not the FBI director. That's just not how any previous FBI director has ever behaved. Some are even pointing out that technically FBI agents are not supposed to drink alcohol well on

duty. So did he violate some kind of code there? Patel, of course, is defending his conduct, as is a spokesman and saying he was proud to be there. He was invited in by his, who he called his friends. These are NHL players playing for the U.S. Men's Olympic team. Patel is an avid hockey fan and an adult hockey player, but nobody, Anna, nobody believes that Cash Patel would have been in that locker room had Donald Trump not made him the FBI director. It's not like Cash Patel is famous on his own. So he clearly used his office to get this access and the taxpayers paid for the trip. You know, our judicial system, if we ever write this ship and we want to make it to get back to work on that more perfect union, and our judicial system is going to be working overtime prosecuting these punks and thugs and crooks and shitheads.

Jesus. So, drinking on duty, lying about one. Yeah, but I really wanted to go see the hockey. You know, he is such a, what's the word for someone who desperately wishes he was white? him bouncing around in that locker room with all those pasty-faced young white boys

good God and he couldn't hell maybe he couldn't afford to go on his own dime you would have thought that he made the final goal the puck go into the net just disgusting and from

wave the warlord fucking fucks all right this whole conversation is triggering every cell in my seventh day Avengers body my life for the first time since graduation 1985 makes sense I bet heavily on Pito

Orange existentially I fucking knew this was our future and I voted and supported Dems from the start I'm going to festivals with loud techno robot music and curious party favors I'm going to have the time of my life as long as that is if you're Jan Axon watched Biff Tannen

and back to the future too If you saw the rise of Reagan and watched the Iran-Contra hearings You kind of then This is the unlikely future that could never happen But it's happening One million lies brought us here Good luck y'all I'm fixing to tie one on soon

I have to eat something to get some rest And soon go to the dark websites And warlord the fuck up then they need World War III. They've stolen billions and sold state secrets, raped and consumed children, stolen elections, and broken everything and everyone connected with America.

I might be headed to Cuba at this rate. Remember my joke about that? Remember my joke about Trump in heaven, an MLK? Barack Obama's tapping his pack of Newports right now, and as a former evangelical, Mike Huckabee. The Huckabee Room in Hell will be

Chef's Kiss. Here, here. And there's more. Someone who wants to be white, Steve in New York says, Uncle Cracker, Ralph says passing, racial identity. Cash Patel

could not pass for white in a pitch dark room. God. Billable Ricks is... Roxanne, stop telling us to hate the U.S. hockey team. We all know that Cash Patel was simply in the locker room to conduct background checks on the U.S. hockey players. Make sure there weren't any Mexican cartel members of the U.S. hockey team.

By the way, just a thought. Just throwing this out there for our general... consideration. Another one of those things that I've said all along, and I think I'm being proven right again, that prophetess is never welcome in her own land. But you remember a few times that I said that the ice goons and the CBP thugs have never, ever, at all, gone after any dangerous cartel members. And I think I got proven correct in the last 24 to

48 hours. Because if you recall what I'd said previously, I noted that if these goons were really going after Tren de Arawa or MS-13 or

Cinelloa, that those private small arms would be fighting back. No, I'm not, this is certainly not me saying that I wish they would. I don't. I don't want that violence.

But then again, I also didn't want violence against people who change the sheets in hotel rooms and work in kindergartens and hang out at Lowe's and Home Depot on good weather days hoping they can get construction work. I didn't want any of that. But, by God, the maggots did. Oh, they wanted it bad. They chanted mass deportation now at Mittwit Nero's campaign rallies, although a bunch of them now say,

I had no idea what he was going to do that. I guess they thought this country was just because, you know, they believed places like Fox News, TV, Radio, Rwanda. And is that website around that rhymes with light? and fart still. News muck, Onan, the network that spills its news upon the ground. They believed all that, and, you know, the country was just

overflowing with oozy, technine, whatever, toting gang dudes. When your average maggot would shit their pants if they saw one, and they've never seen one. But my point of contention, my thesis, was that if the ICE and CBP goons were out there going after cartel members, cartel members would start unaliving some CBP and ICE goons because they don't disrespect. And so it was over the weekend, the Mexican government with backing from the United States proudly announced that they had off. the head of the

what, new generation cartel? Yeah. What did they do? The folks from the new generation

cartel at the news that their glorious leader had been offed. They exacted retribution. In point of fact, that cartel

operates within Halisco State. That is, among other places, Guadalajara, but also Puerto Vallarta, whose praises have been sung to the high heavens, both by Tracy and by Brother Deacon Asa,

as a beautiful place, a place where one can be happy and safe, and that is an absolute magnet for the LGBTQ-plus community in the United States in Canada to go and visit and feel like they can be safe there. Well, that got shattered

because after the assassination of the head of that cartel, in what appeared to be a pre-planned, if they ever do, then we'll do this. They attacked Puerto La Jarta. And

at gunpoint made people exit their vehicles and then set fire to them and fires and explosions were heard all around Puerto Vajarta and then they disappeared back into the mountains of the

Sierra Madre Okedintal and that generally speaking is what the cartels do when you piss them off and it would piss off the cartels if the ice goons and the CBP

thugs went after their membership, their soldiers. The ice goons and the CBP thugs have not. No. They haven't. Instead, they gunned down mothers and gunned down ICU nurses. As Jeremy pointed out last week, they force people, innocent people, into situations where they die in car wrecks, they choke people to death

in their concentration camps, because those are all people they're not afraid of. They are scared, water-boweled shitless of the real cartel members. So, you know, the goddess of irony is good to me,

sometimes, and she just hands me things that let me share, it that lets me share this stuff with you, we few, we happy few, who are probably better informed than the majority of Americans, all of the maggots, and even some progressives. A couple of threads to share with you as we move into the program. By the way, we are at 3390, 3,000. $390 unfunded in this final week of February.

And that is more than half of the month unfunded with only one week to go. And as far as I can tell, the goddess of irony does not favor other programs. You only get this content here. We can't get that content if this program isn't here. It's not so much individual stories as it is a matter of connecting dots and seeing the patterns that are otherwise tucked away and not easily discerned. Thank you, Henry. Henry just jumped in, met Ralph's Snopocalypse Challenge, and so we are down from 3390 to 3315.

3,315 now. Thank you, Henry, and thank you, Routes for the challenge. Puerto Vallarta, Lee, in New York, says, didn't the loveboat go there? I mean, maybe, maybe? Oh, and thank you for your challenge from last week, Steve. Thank you. I know, I think they used to give away a lot of Puerto Vallada vacations on things like, let's make a deal, and the price is right. It's a vacation in Puerto Vallarta. And people would jump up and down and squeal when they saw the picture of lovely Puerto Vallata there on the Mexican Pacific coast. It's beautiful.

And the cartel knew exactly what it was doing when they did that. And by the way, Henry, Ralph says, thanks, Henry. Yes, indeed, thank you. So 3315. and, well, long way to go in a short time to get there. But, no, I wanted to share a couple of things with you. No one is digging as far into, well, I won't say no one, but she is doing a lot of digging. And Joy in Ann Arbor has found some disturbing stuff.

She said a couple of days ago, Saturday, Going through the files the past few weeks, I think it was when I hit upon the adrenochrome section that I really understood what Q had done. Epstein was into finding ways to retain youth. He consulted with scientists and was into all sorts of experimentation, blood, genetics, breeding. I'm not finding any evidence yet that he acted upon his adrenochrome ideas, but maybe it's in the batch of documents Bondi refuses to release. police. If it's true, I would not be surprised at this point. Absolutely nothing would surprise me in the

remaining files. I've read things that will haunt me for the rest of my life. And I haven't seen any coverage yet. This is just an aside question. Is Jamie Raskin or any of the other members of House oversight, are there any plans to invite victims of the Trumpstein? files to the state of the union and give them seats where they can stare that filthy old orange pervert right in the eye yeah just wonder i hope but uh so this is a thread and this goes way deep because everything is connected and it goes back to my youth and some of the things in this thread I remember as though they were yesterday. Names like

Adnan Khashoggi. Sorry, I don't know why that came with a Robin Leach voice. Eugene Hosenfus. The CIA built a secret weapons pipeline into Iran. Jeffrey Epstein

managed the money. When it blew up, they recycled the whole operation into a clothing company in Ohio and buried it for 30 years. The U.S. attorney who later let Epstein walk told the government he was ordered to leave it alone. That sits in 35 official files, while two United States aircraft carriers sit in the Gulf. The CIA's airline was Southern Air Transport, owned secretly for 13 years, not a contractor, not a partner.

owned a fully covert agency asset flying weapons under commercial cover. During Iran-Contra, it moved four documented loads of U.S. weapons into Iran. Same country, same region, same game. Then, on October 5, 1986, one of its planes got shot down over in Nicaragua. The survivor talked. Eugene Hassanfuss. was supposed to die in that crash. He didn't.

He was captured, put in front of cameras, and told the world exactly what Southern Air Transport was doing over Central America. The CIA's airline cover was blown publicly, globally, permanently. The network had been running weapons, moving money, and staying invisible for years. Now it needed a new identity. It found one. in Ohio. And I will add, as an aside, that a lot of this stuff came out during the Iran-Contra investigation,

and that was along about the time that Ben Bradley and Catherine Graham at the Washington Post said, Oh my, the American people can't stand another constitutional impeachment crisis this so soon. after Watergate, and besides, Ronnie Reagan is such a likable old coot. It needed a new identity. It found one in Ohio. But before the recycling, you need to understand who built the financial architecture underneath it.

His name was Douglas Lease, L-E-E-E-S-E. British defense contractor. He introduced Epstein to the Iran-Contra-Financial network in London in 1981. Through Lees, Epstein met Adnan Khashoggi. There's that voice again. Epstein mourned Lise's death in a personal email 30 years later. He was one of a kind.

Koshogi was the financial backbone of the entire Iran weapons pipeline, moving missiles from Israel to Iran, skimming millions. off every transaction, running money through front companies while the weapons moved. Epstein was managing his finances at the exact same time. Not adjacent to it, inside it. Quote, Koshoggi was one of several defense contractors that he knew. In the mid-1980s, Epstein traveled multiple times between the United States, Europe, and Southwest Asia. By 1991, Epstein had durable power of attorney over every financial decision Leslie Wexner made.

Sign anything, move anything, buy anything, total control over the fortune behind Victoria's Secret, Abercrombie, The Limited. A Southern District of New York prosecutor later confirmed Wexner's money was the origin of Epstein's entire fortune. The man who managed the arms dealer's money was now managing the billionaires. the network didn't collapse. It relocated. Southern Air Transport moved its headquarters from Miami to Rickenbocker Airport, Columbus, Ohio, a former military airfield.

Columbus is, of course, Wexner's home base, as we found out last week, when Democrats went to his home. to depose him and Wexner's own lawyer, you'll recall, whispered to Wexner after an answer he gave in deposition under oath, if you give another answer more than five words, I'll fucking kill you. As I noted then, lawyers generally don't speak that way to their clients, unless they're empowered by someone else to do so. The anchor client for Southern Air Transport's entire new operation? The Limited. Franklin County Sheriff Smith confirmed his office

New Epstein was the point person who brought SAT to Ohio. Two officials investigated. The inspector general was fired in 1994. His replacement quit after two months. Both are dead. No findings were ever released. Then the cocaine showed up. 1997 customs agents open a Southern Air Transport plane at Columbus inside cocaine

the airline spokesperson looked the agents in the eye and said fresh flowers from Columbia October 98 Southern Air Transport files for bankruptcy a week later the CIA releases its own report linking Southern Air Transport to contra cocaine trafficking 2008, four days before Epstein's guilty plea, Wexner emailed him, You violated your own number one rule. Always be careful. Not horrified. Careful. 2008, Epstein is finally arrested. The U.S. attorney who hands him the plea deal is Alexander Acosta.

Years later, Acosta tells Trump's transition team three things. Epstein belonged to intelligence. He was above his pay grade. Leave it alone. Nobody who gave that order has ever been identified. Nobody has ever answered for it. I think you know who I think that name was. July 8, 2019, Epstein is arrested again.

The next day, his former business partner, Stephen Hoffenberg, calls the FBI directly. He tells them Epstein committed massive securities fraud at Towers Financial, that every dollar Epstein is using for his defense is tainted. There is a civil case that will give the FBI the connection to seize everything. Epstein is dead five weeks later. Hoffenberg's call is in the official record. The CIA built a pipeline into Iran. It blew up.

They recycled it. The financier who held the whole thing together managed the arms dealer's money controlled a billionaire's fortune and walked away because someone above a U.S. attorney said so. Years later, Epstein bragged about making his fortune out of arms, drugs, and diamonds. Two carriers are in the Gulf right now, pointing at Iran. Files open. The network never disbanded. It just changed what it's pointing out, pointing at. Context, Wexner's Limited needed a direct Hong Kong cargo route for its clothing supply

chain. Southern Air Transport built its entire Columbus operation around that contract. Wexner's associate confirmed it publicly at the 1995 announcement. Epstein held Wexner's full power of attorney through the entire negotiation. The man who arranged the CIA's former airline into Ohio was the same man who'd been managing the Iran-Contra Arms middleman's finances a decade earlier. That man was Jeffrey Epstein. The limited Victoria's Secret Models Jesus Christ

Someone replying said America is just 100 pedophiles in a trench coat To me it makes sense It does Because we didn't meaningfully punish The perpetrators of Iran Contra And then when it looked like someone might face

consequences and accountability Well Who was there to say, no, let's don't. It's publicly known that Bill Barr looked at his president, George H.W. Bush, and said, don't just pardon one or two of them.

And this is the quote, in for a penny, in for a pound. He got to pardon them all. Bill Barr, who at the time, and times later, was above the pay grade of a mere simple U.S. attorney

and with someone who could tell, and Alex Acosta, leave it alone. The same writer, by the way, on threads, he is No Big D-O, N-O-B-I-G, D-E-E-Y-O. And he continued and said, while everyone argues about the Epstein files, Trump's DOJ just killed the active investigation into his co-conspirators. 50 survivors named 20-plus powerful men to the FBI. The FBI scrub their testimony in March. this is the cover-up happening right now. And separately from this thread, dated today,

a nonpartisan law and policy journal called Just Security says that the FBI appears to have issued a stand-down order to the New York Police Department, their investigators, regarding the NYPD's criminal probe into Epstein, and it came just five days after he was arrested in 2019. The existence of the supposed directive was revealed by law professor and legal scholar Ryan Goodman, who found it buried within the Justice Department's recent release of around 3.5 million files on Epstein. The directive applied to NYPD's special victims unit,

dumb dumb, the group specially trained and equipped to handle sex crimes and child abuse cases. That's from his report in Just Security. quote, at the time the Manhattan District Attorney's Office had an ongoing investigation involving Epstein's victims, the documents reveal, but the FBI assumed that would come to a halt as well, following the Bureau's directive. The email is dated July 11, 2019, sent just five days after Epstein was arrested on sex trafficking charges.

Redacted just called, FBI reached out to NYPD leadership already, and they were told that SUV has been directed to stand down, that all Epstein stuff needs to go to and through us. Gee, I wonder who the Attorney General was on July the 11th, 2019. In another email from January 29th, 2020, FBI agents confirmed the stand-down order. After our arrest was public, some phone calls were made amongst NYPD brass, and I'm pretty sure their investigation was closed and deferred. to us, I'm not totally sure of Department of District Attorney of New York's involvement into that investigation, or if they ever stopped.

Our assumption was obviously that they closed anything they had after his death. And then, of course, just last Thursday, Jojo Blondie's office said, oh, we closed our Epstein investigation at Zorro Ranch in New Mexico at the request of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern. District of New York. You'll forgive me, I hope, if I feel like I'm gone down a rabbit hole. I really do. And I didn't like it when all the creepy, weird, pervy shit was being passed around during the cucumber, those heady days of the cucumber conspiracy.

And now I find myself wondering, well, is this just... No, this is not just the same thing from the different direction. This is stuff that is drawn out of the Epstein files that has lain buried, suppressed for years, for decades. And so saying that the cover-up is happening right now, he continues and says, here's what actually happened. The Southern District of New York had an active investigation at Epstein's co-conspirators through January 2025. Nearly 50 survivors gave detailed testimony. They named at least 20 men. They described how the operation was structured, how it was financed, who facilitated it,

the same testimony DOJ used to convict Jisling Maxwell. Within weeks, SDNI prosecutors are ordered to transfer all case files to DOJ headquarters in D.C. The survivors and prosecutors are told the investigation is continuing it wasn't. March 2025 FBI scrubs the documents. They remove survivors' statements about rich and powerful men who raped them. Their memo says they did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties. This is a lie. They had testimony from 50 survivors naming 20-plus men.

They had FBI form 302s documenting everything. They had the evidence that convicted Maxwell. They just decided not to use it. Then it gets worse. July 24th to 25th, 2025, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanchie, Trump's former personal defense attorney who got him hung out to dry on 34 felonies, he's so good, meets with Jislane Maxwell for nine hours over two days. One week later, Maxwell is transferred from a low-security prison to a minimum-security country club facility in Texas. Federal policy requires sex offenders stay in at least low-security. Maxwell got a waiver.

September 16, 2025, FBI director Cash Fattel testifies to Congress. He claims there's, quote, no credible information that Epstein trafficked women to anyone other than himself. Twelve Epstein survivors issue a joint statement three days later saying they're shocked by his testimony. The same survivors whose testimony put Maxwell in prison. Now the FBI director is calling them liars and partied in the law. locker room with the American men's hockey team. Wow. February 10th, 2026, Representative Rokane and Thomas Massey review the unredacted files at DOJ. They find at least six men's names that were improperly redacted. One is billionaire Leslie Wexner, labeled by the FBI as a co-conspirator.

On August 15th, 2019, FBI documents list Epstein co-conspirators, photos of everyone except Epstein and Maxwell redacted. This isn't about what happened in the past. No Big D.O. says. This is about what's happening right now. Active federal investigation, terminated. Survivor testimony naming 20-plus men. Scrubbed.

FBI documents with co-conspirator names redacted. The only person convicted in the case, rewarded with prison transfer after meeting with Trump's deputy AG. The pattern is clear. Trump appoints his former personal attorney, deputy AG. The attorney interviews Maxwell privately. Maxwell gets a country club prison. Trump appoints an FBI director with no FBI experience. The director scrubs survivor testimony. The director calls survivors not credible. Trump's attorney general terminates the investigation,

claims no evidence exists. The evidence exists. They're hiding it. Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act demanding all documents. DoJ announced they found over a million additional documents they haven't released yet. 50 survivors gave the FBI everything. The FBI gave them nothing. The system isn't broken. It's working exactly as designed to

protect power. 30 years of elite immunity. Larry Summers, Epstein files. A married treasury secretary asked the convicted pedophile how to fuck his student. His strategy make her think

she can't get professional access without sex. And meanwhile, there's still video, there's audio. Has any video been released? Kind of hard to redact video. It can be done. But just take a moment and think about the horrors that Epstein and his pals perpetrated

and now think of them being on Epstein's private surveillance blackmail video. Jesus. at this point in time you begin to wonder does any of this have a bottom is there anywhere well I mean and meanwhile all that 1980s

are on contra stuff nitwit Nero's running around telling anybody who will listen Howard Stern included that well I consider the 1980s my personal Vietnam fighting to make sure I didn't get AIDS

in that period and those who lived through it can remember it horrifyingly well HIV AIDS was being discussed as, let's see, was it Jerry Falwell who's getting pineapples down next to Rush Limbaugh in hell now? Was it Jerry Paulwell or was it former liquor supply officer Marion Pat Robertson? Or was it both of them who said that HIV AIDS was a gay plague? and yet nitwit Niro tells Howard Stern that

the 1980s were his sexual Vietnam because he might get something that could kill him. That's kind of either syphilis or HIV. And you know how I feel about the spirochetes from Sylvie. Cash Patella, going, going, gone. He has every right to enter the dressing rooms of the players when your president owns the FBI

and when you're Trump star, they let you do it. Grab them by the puckie. What do you think the likelihood, Cynthia asked this, that Trump's classified file stuff included details on Trump and Epstein? Oh, what? 100%. Yeah? And from Reverbo, the word people like you and I and your listeners are looking for is class, as in no class.

At least at times in our past, there have been with a nod to Joe Bajent, a pretensive class, and we wanted the world to respect that. No more. We have elected, again, Al Capone, and enough voters, and the officials they elected seem to be okay with that. Amazing. Horrifying. Disgusting.

Hell of a note. So we are down to 3315 in terms of fundraising. I don't like funding, well, the deficit. We are $315.15. away from being fully funded for the first half of February, just the first half, and that's $315 away. Then we go to work on the completely unfunded second half of February. I hope we can, because, well, trying to decide what's more important going and picking up

prescriptions or buying another flat of propane is a hell of a thing or paying you know the power bill it's rough so thanks for the help so far hopefully we'll keep it keep the momentum going if we wiped out that last 315 bucks this evening well at least we funded half of february oh and kim serving as the Horn ad hoc State of the Union Research Committee. Spotlight for Epstein survivors at State of the Union. Plans so far include sitting in silent defiance, bringing survivors as guests or showing up at alternate events. Democratic leaders in Congress have given their members leeway on how they show opposition to President Donald Trump's State of the Union address. Attend and stay silent or don't attend at all, but central to their show of force will be victims of the late section.

offender, Jeffrey Epstein. The late sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein. The late sex offender, the late pedophile, and bosom buddy of the current president of the United States, Jeffrey Epstein. That effort starts from leadership on down. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is bringing Danny Bensky, a survivor of Epstein's abuse, as one of his guests Tuesday night. And House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries will also bring a victim per a source familiar with his plans. And, of course, they get to sit down front. Representative Rokana, the sponsor of the law that mandated the Justice Department release, its Epstein-related files, will bring Haley Robson, another survivor. Representative Thomas Massey, the Kentucky Republican who joined Kana in his calls for transparency, estimated about 10 to 12 victims may attend. Haley's courageous fight is proof that this isn't about politics.

It's about exposing America's two-tiered system of justice and bringing accountability to the Epstein class involved in the horrific abuse of young girls, Kana said in a statement. Well, Massey is bringing his wife as a guest, but not a victim or a survivor. And Representative Nancy Hatchet-Face Mace, who has run her mouth a lot.

about the files, has not invited a survivor, but she supports the survivor's attendance. Well, if I was an Epstein survivor, I would not want to be the guest of Nancy Hatchet-Face Mace either, because that could damage one's credibility. On the other hand, there will be a People's State of the Union hosted by Move On and Midas Touch, Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut, Van Hollen of Maryland,

Merkley of Oregon and Tina Smith of Minnesota, as well as Representative Greg Casar of Texas, Pramala Jayapal of Washington and Melanie Stansbury of New Mexico will be in attendance on the mall, and they'll be sharing letters on behalf of Epstein survivors. And a spokesperson for Move On said there will also be people who have been targeted by immigration enforcement. Then there's another event called Defiance, the State of the Swamp, That will be attended by Robert De Niro, Mark Ruffalo, Ron Wyden of Oregon will be there. Representatives Eric Swalwell, Jason Crow, Seth Moulton, Dan Goldman, and Eugene Vindman will be there as well. Representative Laura Friedman of California said she's not going because last year's address was a waste of time.

Unless President Trump finally chooses to work with us to make life better for the American people, my time is better spent fighting for my constituents. That towering man of courage, Representative Jared Golden, says, I've been to six of these addresses, three by President Trump and three by President Biden. I'm interested in what the president has to say, but I've had my fill of pomp and circumstance. Meanwhile, John Fetterman, doing his best Joe Manchin impression, said, Well, it's up to my fellow Democrats to decide, whether to boycott.

But I hope that those who show up don't do the kinds of things that some did last year. I mean, there's just no dignity if you have paddles, if you're yelling and saying these kinds of things. And now they're doing counter-programming. I mean, that's never going to go well. Regardless of who the president is, the counter never really lands. I wonder if he still remembers the immortal words of Joe Wilson of South Carolina, whose real name isn't Joe, who yelled, you lie!

At President Obama, or the shenanigans of marginal trailer queen. The official response will be delivered by Abigail Spanberger, the brand new governor of Virginia. Senator Alex Padilla will deliver the Spanish rebuttal in a statement Padilla said Americans don't need another speech from Donald Trump pretending everything is fine Americans demand and deserve accountability stability and a government that works for them that's what I'll be discussing on Tuesday

good for you oh thanks Sylvie thank you don't apologize Steve notes Pramala Jayapal isn't going to the state of the union but she's invited several survivors to go and on

Friday I mentioned the refund letter sent by Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker demanding refunds from the federal government on behalf of taxpaying Illinoisans following the

Supreme Court opinion that struck down nitwit Niro's stupid tariffs. I haven't run across anybody yet who is in favor of the tariffs. They see their prices going up. They're not

entirely gone. They know why. But they're out there. Oh, these, the terrorists were making America great again. Yeah, sure, Cleetus. Now, go get the now, now go go, uh,

go pick those jerky pieces out from betwixt your teeth with your, uh, with one of your, uh, stack of many toenail clippings. But now FedEx is suing. Thanks, Ralphs. FedEx is suing the United States

seeking a full refund of the Trump tariff in the wake of the ruling, they actually went to court and sued. It appears to be the first suit from a major American company seeking a refund for the tariffs imposed upon it. And other companies made clear their claims

before the ruling. Costco being one of them. Costco's suit is pending at the U.S. Court of International Trade. good for Costco as for federal express in their suit papers they say plaintiffs seek for themselves

a full refund from defendants of all IEPA duties plaintiffs have paid to the United States and they're suing among others U.S. Customs and Border Protection that collects the tariffs, the commissioner Rodney Scott and the entire

United States government I hope they make it ache Lee in New York asking FedEx, are they calling it a refund or a return? They're seeking an RMA right now. So I guess it's a return. Wow. Oh, and the fallout from the murder of Renee Good continues.

We know now that the author of the cover-up was none other than Cash Patel himself. How about that? They're all filthy as hell. Patel and other senior officials were afraid that an actual civil rights investigation and a warrant

based on that would run contrary to nitwit Niro's insane blathering that Renee Good They're literally willfully and viciously ran over the ice officer. Consequences?

Consequences. Yeah, all per the New York Times, FBI agents equipped with a signed warrant prepared to document blood spatter and bullet holes in Renee Goods' SUV, received orders to stop, including from Cash Patel. The fear? A civil rights investigation would contradict Trump's claim. This is a little bit like, well, at least an aspect of this is a little bit like January 6th. if we had done what we needed to do with January 6th,

it would have required a level of human assets probably never before seen in the history of the United States. And between Epstein and Trumpstein and all the filth surrounding the assault, ordered by hairless Hadrick mayonnaise mouth Miller one wonders if the American legal system can churn out enough lawyers out of law schools to do all of this I mean go go back and look at the amount of effort that was required for Watergate and more and more it just looks like Watergate was a blip compared to the vast criminality that would follow in it so

wake. And I will be going to the phones, but I wanted to share this from my former filthy morning habit. Take a quick peep at email. No, we're good. Oh, and by the way, going way back, just pure trivia. Leah New York pointing out, Puerto Vallarda, I looked it up based on the port of Los Angeles, the ship's regular ports have called were Puerto Vallara, Akapulco, and Mazatvan.

Thanks, Lee, serving as our horn ad hoc loveboat ports of call research department. No, this clip, well, you know, my former filthy morning habit, because they're on early in the morning, the day then happens and they have to, well, they had to wait all weekend to have time to chime in on, well, the tantrum, the full ditty tantrum that it went narrow threw over the Supreme Court ruling. On the blizzard going on, but now to the Supreme Court. On Friday, remember striking down,

President Trump's sweeping global tariffs in a six to three ruling, saying the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not give the president authority to impose broad import duties. Writing for the majority, Chief Justice John Rock Robert said the framers did not vest any part of the taxing power in the executive branch.

The decision leaves open whether businesses can seek refunds on $133 billion already collected. You know, I just have to point out that nitwit Nero, and it's a question, is he too stupid or is he just being that crooked? and it's hard to guess which way one should come down. But Roberts called it what it was these tariffs. They are attacks. And when I saw that in the news reporting, because it went on all weekend, I thought back to that heady day in the summer of 2012, when John Roberts also speaking for the court then,

said that the Affordable Care Act, which had been tattooed as ObamaCare, he said that the Congress did not have powers under interstate commerce to compel people to have health care, but they did have it under the power to tax. And I thought it was a rather brilliant move at the time because basically he had just accused Democrats of

raising taxes on working Americans. 14 years later, and there's John Roberts again, only this time he said that nitwit Niro had imposed that tax on working Americans. President Trump lasted the justices in response, calling them disloyal and lab dogs, and suggesting they were corrupted by foreign influences. The Supreme Court's rule,

on tariffs is deeply disappointing, and I'm ashamed of certain members of the court, absolutely ashamed for not having the courage to do what's right for our country. I'd like to thank and congratulate justices Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh, for their strength and wisdom and love of our country, which is right now very proud of those justices. When you read the dissenting opinions, there's no way that anyone can argue against them. There's no way. You've got to do what's right for the Constitution. That's why I respect so much Justice Thomas and Alito, Kavanaugh, because they not only dissented, their dissent is so strong.

When you read their dissent, you know, a lot of times you'll read the dissent and it's like, well, you don't know, it could go either way. There's no other way. It's my opinion that the court has been swayed by. foreign interests and a political movement that is far smaller than people would ever think. I think that foreign interests are represented. All right. Well, you just get out of this. Actually, everything he is saying is wrong.

You can't just let lines continue. Everything is the opposite. I mean, literally, it's the most Orwellian thing. I can't say it's the most Orwellian thing. It's kind of like the Wall Street Journal saying that was the low point of his second term. That was a lot of. I mean, Casey could count down the hits, and this wouldn't be the top 40. We'd have to go to a year-in-100 countdown for the top 100 shocking things he said.

That one may crack the top 10. That said, foreign influences, please, please. Is this projection? Is this confession coming from the president? I mean, President Trump owes the Supreme Court an apology, says the Wall Street Journal. The individual justice he smeared on Friday, the institution itself. Mr. Trump, doubtless won't offer one. but his rant in response to the tariff defeat at the court was arguably the worst moment of his presidency.

Again, come on. If we're listening to on like Casey's countdown of the worst moments of his second term, you know, my year number 14 and then they'll come in. Maybe, maybe. But what he said about the three justices that descended, my God, they should be ashamed of themselves. They should be humiliated because as Neil Gorsuch pointed out, they had one standard for Joe Biden. and they had another standard for Donald Trump. Now, you can say the same thing for the three liberal members of the court who had one standard for Joe Biden

and one standard for Donald Trump. The three justices in the middle on this case that actually made up a majority, Gorsuch, Amy Coney-Barritt, and John Roberts, actually did something. Oh, my God, Mr. President. It's so shocking. They were consistent legally. And let me just say, I may be a poor, dumb country lawyer. There it is.

But even I understand, there was no room for dissent in this case. It was a 9-0 decision. It should have been a 9-0 decision. He clearly, clearly was abusing this process. I think more importantly than that, Frank, four, though. God, yeah, whatever. He's shocked, shocked, I tell you. And the idea that frat boy Neil and the handmade and old balls and strikes are somehow the center of the court,

those three are as right-wing as, well, if only Stevie Nix had sung just like a right-wing dove, goes ooh baby ooh said ooh but you know what jehosephat said there there is a certain degree of consistency out of Roberts at least as far as

bringing in the taxing power is concerned the only difference is the Affordable Care Act was actually produced according to the Constitution in Congress whereas everything that near did with the tariffs is strictly an attempt at executive fiat for which in former times in this country

there would have been calls coming out of Congress for impeachment, for impinging upon and appropriating the clearly delineated powers of the Congress by Trump for himself. Jesus. Well, let's We're into the third hour of the program. How did we, how did that happen? Let's run over to the stress line and see who we've got. Hey, welcome to the program.

Oh, hey. This is Kurt. Yeah, hey, Kurt. Up here in the Hindu lands here. I had to take you off the speakerphone. I had you on the speaker phone. And then I had to call you back. I don't know what happened.

I kind of got. I kind of got disconnected from you here. I'm just going to ask you, do you have your dogs and sleds ready, Roxanne? Oh, my God. Yeah. For the snow. This isn't, this isn't as bad as the January snowpocalypse, but I'm just weary of it. Right, right.

Well, especially when they're not used to it. Well, I mean, we get winter here. But, well, yeah, but it doesn't stay, though, like what we have here, go, right? I mean, you don't have snow all the time. No, but this, yeah, this stuck around for three weeks until we got that little thaw, and then, boom, here it came again. Right, right. Yeah, well, we got quite a bit of snow here now, too. We just had about 11 inches here last week.

And, yeah, we're in the heart of winter here now, for sure. The dog days of winter here anyway. But actually, it's been a fairly mild winter here. We, you know, we were cold here for a while. I think the coldest we got here was like 26 below. But it only lasted like a couple days. But back in my time, when I was younger, shit, we would have had 30, 35 below for two weeks. I can't even stand the thought of that.

But now the weather doesn't last. Huh? I can't even stand the thought of that. But then again, we had, you know, we had, we had 20 below wind chills for at least two weeks. Well, we had here, Roxanne, 55 below wind chills. here for two days. We had a north, awful wind. And, of course, the temperature here

was like around, you know, two above or five below. And then, of course, when you get the high wind, yeah, then it adds up. So I remember one time, Roxanne, I was on the road, I was on the freeway on 29. I was coming back from Fargo.

This would have been in the 90s. And it was 70 below. wind chill. I kid you not. And you could even feel the car was just numb, you know. And the heater in your car, well, it would keep it warm, but it was more like a draft. Oh, Jesus. More like a draft. So, yeah, I got to remember those days. Oh, jeepers. No, the reason I called is you and mentioned, I think it was last week about bourbon and I was starting to think

you know Roxanne, when are the American people going to start grabbing those broken Kentucky bourbon bottles and start heading for the ramparts? Haven't we had enough of this ship? I mean, you know, why can't the American people

get off their asses and let's you know, start doing something? Well, the short answer Curtis, because we are so thoroughly divided, and people have gotten off their asses and done things. I mean, my God, look at the response to the ice goons in Minneapolis. Look at the people in the street in New York. Right.

You know, people are showing up. But the thing is, yes. Yes, they are, but it seems like nothing is, you know, nothing. happening well. Yeah, I mean, we can show up and protest and scream and holler, but okay. Yeah, but the thing, but the thing is, Kurt, the people in like Minneapolis and other people who are responding to the presence of the ice goons and the CBP thugs, they're not just showing up and protesting. They were actively engaged in trying to protect their community against these monsters. Oh, well, definitely. Yeah.

Yeah, so I'm aware of that. I mean, that was open, peaceful opposition. Right. And it takes a heck of a lot of courage to do, too. Oh, definitely, definitely. And especially in the world we live in today. Oh, God, yeah. Hell yes.

But we need more of that. Absolutely. It should be happening every day, Roxanne. And that's enough. you know, I mean, people need to be grabbed by the neck and shake it up, wake up, pop out of it. I mean, what's going on? People just wandering around and looking at their phones

or their Instagrams or their Facebook. You know, Jesus, there's got to be more to this than that, isn't there? Hello, what's going on, people? Let's take it to the streets. Let's grab our broken bourbon. and somewhere, but I'm being a facetious here and out too, but I fully understand what you're saying. Yes. But I think it should be happening more often, every day.

And these senators, they should be out doing press conferences every day. Well, the Democrats largely are. Why not? They're using what pulpit they have, but it's a matter of getting the multimillionaire four profit media to pay attention. Well, yes, yes, no, you're on to that. Yeah, yeah, no, you're on something there. That's why the billionaire class are working hand in glove, hammer and tongs,

trying to get complete consolidated control of every broadcast outlet so that basically broadcast news becomes North Korean TV. Right. Right, right. Well, it's becoming Nolan Boyd now, it seems like. And by the way, you got to... But I think we also live in a day and age. I think we also live in a day of age.

We're so distracted, too. You know, that's another thing. We've got our phones. We've got our computers. We've got all our gadgets. Yeah, there's that line from many years back now. We are amusing ourselves today. On the other hand, Micah has an answer for you.

She said, say what you want, but Americans have always had one fundamental truth. If the assholes are that bad, we can vote the bums out. No one wants to start our version of the troubles, you know, in Ireland, so long as that's an option. I think people are waiting until November. Also, one-fourth of the people still think he's doing a great job. Well, there you go. Right. Right. But then my question is, who was that that said that?

Micah. Oh, Micah, Micah. Well, the problem with that is, Micah, is that do we have enough time to wait? Well, okay, here's another one. You know, that's the question. Enough enough enough. Here's another one, though. Pick it in the ass.

Will there be a meaningful November election? Well, that too. Right. Right. Then what? You know? Well, and that's when... It's going to get even more uglier.

Yeah. You know? You know, I think it's, you know, it's like that old thing about children. You've got to nip it in the butt. And if you don't, it gets worse. Right. I mean, it's crazy. Well, it, and of course, there's also the aspect of,

of enforced or perceived helplessness. This constant barrage of garbage and bullshit has a purpose. It is meant to demoralize people from standing up against this fascist onslaught. Because fascism, by the nature of its operation, says the only, way to really survive is to keep your head down. Right, right. No, I understand that, right. And it's, you know, it's disheartening, but you need to understand that.

Right, all I do. There is organizing going on in a multitude of circles. you know from the poor people's campaign Reverend Barber No Kings I just saw the notice for the next no Kings rally and I have a feeling this one will be bigger than anyone any yet because with every passing day with every passing day Kurt we find out just how

dictatorial his designs are and the thing is I think that's scheduled for about a month from now in March. And holy smokes, who knows what it will have happened by then? Right. Again, we've got two nuclear carriers bobbing around in the Persian Gulf with... Yeah, I saw that.

With thousands of oath-sworn sailors ready to snap a salute. and say, yes, sir, no matter what insane order comes down the pipeline, because all that business about not following illegal orders is just so much baloney when it comes to the matter of ones, you know, if you're like big time brass, you know, you're an admiral, you're the captain of an aircraft carrier, you're the leader of an air group on that carrier. If you say I will not follow an illegal order, you're going to be court-martialed. And the court-martialed.

And the court-martial will have to uphold your refusal, but they will also, I mean, if you are to succeed, the court-martial will have to uphold your refusal, And if you lose, your brass-bound ass at the rank of captain or rear-admiral or vice-admiral or whatever goes to Leavenworth. And not just that, you get busted, you get your rank busted down to nothing, and you lose your pension. Right, right. and under those circumstances, I can see where, you know, a guy with 30, or woman with 30 years under their belt would say, hell, it may be illegal, but I'm going to follow the order anyway because I don't think they'll come after me. We only do that to other countries.

We only did that to Germany and Japan. My country's not, and this administration isn't going to prosecute me for murder. some brown people. No, right. So the odds are in favor of going ahead and doing the illegal thing. Well, then where are these senators that, you know, that could march up to the White House? But, of course, the Republicans will never do that. But here's another thing I've often wondered.

Do you think we have a deep throat in there that's kind of like, you know, right down, shit and keeping track of life? what that fuck is going on? Some shit gets leaked out. Shit gets leaked out of the Pentagon, out of, well, I mean, you may have heard the clip from Kandelan talking about how disgusted. Some senior and rank and file members of the FBI are at the fact that Crash Patel zipped, and, you know, I haven't seen any mentioned,

but did he take his country music girlfriend with him? or was this just a boy trip but they're disgusted with the fact that he zoomed off under the pretext of oh i have a business meeting honey i'll be i'm going to italy and then you see him wearing an olympic gold medal and hopping up and down to quote to quote uh Minnesota governor tim walls uh jumping up and down like a like a little dip shit right

yeah no I heard about it I didn't see the I didn't see him there but I had I had heard about it but I did watch the gold medal game as you know I'm a hockey fan but I heard

I'm going to veer off here for just a sec here but I heard the best the best the description of hockey and I heard it today and it was on with Al Michaels, he was on with Dan Patrick. And Al Michaels, of course, you remember the miracle

on ice. I certainly remember it. I was in my first year. Do you believe in miracles? Well, the great Al Michaels was on with Dan Patrick today, and Al Michaels said he read an article off the Wall Street Journal.

and the writer in that article described hockey as this, and it's so visual, you're going to love this. He described hockey as playing croquet on a top of a fast-moving train. Yes, that's exactly what hockey. That's good. That is a good description, yes. Playing croquet on a fast-moving train on top of a fast-moving train. And I thought, yeah, that describes it wholeheartedly.

But I was in my, God, I was in my first year in college in 1980. In fact, I remember I came home that weekend because I hadn't been home, you know, for quite a while. And I came home that weekend and I was watching the game with my dad. And it was on a Sunday and I was getting ready to drive back to college. and I was just so enthrased by the whole darn thing because we just never thought, you know, these college kids, they're not going to beat these Russians. You know, they were like the Harlem Globetrotters of hockey at that time.

So it was quite a deal back then. Very much so. Oh, yes, yes. But I just wanted to share that description to it because I thought, yeah, that describes hockey to a team. You know, I remember my only experience with hockey came in junior high school, and it wasn't ice hockey. It was hockey. Oh, floor hockey.

Yeah, it was floor hockey, and we got to play it precisely once. Our PE coach taught us some basic rules, handed us our sticks, stuck a couple of people in goal. And the puck was just this little hollow rubber puck. But, God, it was probably the most fun I ever had in PE. We had to, you know, it was one of those inside days, maybe winter or rainy day or whatever. Sure. But our PE teacher was also the basketball coach. And he had just gotten the court refinished.

Oh, wow. And he took one look at what those hockey sticks did to his beloved basketball. ball court and said, that's it. We'll never do that again. I thought the puck really flew at all. Oh, it did. It absolutely did. And we, you know,

little rednecks were beginning to get the hang of it. And on rain days, we'd say, hey, coach, you know, can we have the hockey stuff back out again? No, go over there and play battle, go over there and play battle dodge ball and throw

volleyball at each other's heads. right adolescent heads were not nearly as valuable as the cost of refinishing that floor that floor right oh but it no it was great because we we had to take our shoes off for it oh sure and and right that

being so being sock-footed on a newly a newly resurface basketball court was a lot like it felt like what it must be like to be on skates yeah they're on that yeah right right we flew they're on the ice i bet you just slipped and flew all over the plate we did and we beat the shit out of each other that may have been that may have been that may have been a that i mean that may have been a secondary reason for not letting us have it again That's funny.

You know, well, you know, I played floor hockey too when I was down at the I was down at the handicapped school. But it was like we were in wheelchairs when we would play at course. And then we had a few guys that would, you know, walk and run, though, too. We had this one deaf kid. His name was Randy. I can't remember his last name. But he couldn't speak.

and he couldn't hear, but we knew sign language. And I remember sign language in him, and I told him, I said, I want you to play the wing. You play the right wing, because you were right-handed shot. And boy, could he fly. And it was funny because we had a bunch of people, it was like a combination of roller derby and demolition derby. wheelchairs flying into one

another and knocking people up to the side. It was just like rollerball, you know, but what fun it was. It was a long time. That would be a blast, yeah. Oh, yeah, no, it was a blast. Yeah, great times.

But I just thought that that description there from Al Michaels, the great Al Michaels, that was something. else. And of course, I even remember Kenny Dryden was his, was the color guy. And of course, Kenny Dryden, now is it Steve? That's a hockey fan? Oh, very much. I can't remember. Yeah, Steve. Okay. Well, anyway, I remember when Kenny Dryden played, I was a teenager then in the 70s, but I remember him playing in the late 60s. and when he was just a rookie

and I remember watching Hockey Night in Canada and at that time they would only televise the Toronto Maple Leafs or else the Montreal Canadian and they had this great announcer play-by-play guy

that did the Montreal Canadian games Morial La Canadian did I remember and his name was Danny Gallivan and when And when Penny Dryden would make a big save, he would always say, and Penny Dryden makes another scintillated save, you know,

and you don't hear this stuff anymore. It's so funny, but I just remember that. It was, God, it was a long time ago. But, yeah, it was a different world back then, they're a Roxanne. Oh, very much so. Very much so. and yet the same you're talking you talk you talk about the miracle on ice and everything with all that stuff i was talking about earlier

it's just mind warping to realize that everything that would become the trumpstein files was taking shape in that very same time frame with iran contra right iran conchran never went away it just rebranded Right, right. And I remember when Oliver North testified and lied through his ass. Oh, yeah.

You know, remember? Yeah. When he testified and, yeah. Yeah, there was a lot of shadiness going on then back then. And like you and I have said, 1980 was the beginning of the end. That's for sure. I mean, I certainly remember, you know, the 80s. But now here's another thing.

I'm very off here again, but, you know, you were talking about pop or pop culture here last week, I believe it was. And it got me thinking because I had just found out that now I'm sure you would probably remember it, but you were probably still in high school then. but this was late 70s, early 80s. And I just found out that Anthony Geary passed away. Oh, I saw that, yeah. Luke of Luke and Laura. Right, right.

And it threw me back to my early days at the junior college. But I started out at the junior college in a town that was about 45 miles south of my hometown. and I thought, God. And the reason I thought of this is that there were two schools there at the junior college. There was the junior college that was on the west side of the building, and then on the east side of the building was what was called ABTI. And in Minnesota it was called Area Vocational Technical Institute. It was more or less a trade school where you learned like, you know,

carpentry or auto mechanics or electronics. And right next to the commons area, and the common's area was like the cafeteria. It was right in the middle of both those two schools. And I remember waiting in the comments because I was waiting for my roommate to get down with class because we kind of like took turns driving to school. This is like my first or second year there. and right next to the Commons area at the ADTI was the cosmetology, you know, the department where they cut hair and they had like a salon there. And I remember the girls from the cosmetology would come into the commons area because there was a TV in the corner of the Commons area.

And right away they'd flip it over to General Hospital because that was such a big thing back then. Luke and Laura. And I remember there was like eight or nine or, you know, ten of these girls from the cosmetology department were watching this. And then, of course, the wedding. Remember how big that wedding was with Luke and Laura?

And it just brought me back to that guy. Well, yeah. Here, let me go ahead and ruin it, though. What I remember about that entire saga, and yeah, By the time I went to college, the girls were arranging their schedules so that they could be home for GH. And so were the guys. Right.

Oh, God, yes. But here's the thing, though, especially in the context that we have now. Right. You know, that whole thing begins with Luke raping Laura. on the bench floor. You are correct. Yes, yes. That's right.

I do remember that. And somehow it turned into a freaking romance. Right. Right. That's exactly right. And what was it? They said it was, I think it was, you know, at that time anyway, it was the most watched wedding of that, of that, of that time.

I think it was, what was it, 30, 40 million people watched it? Oh, it was crazy. Something like that. It wouldn't be eclipsed until the wedding of Chuck and Die. Oh, right, right. That's right. Yeah.

That's right. Yeah. But I remember what a phenomenon that was at that time. And how crazy. And everywhere you went. If you went to the grocery store, you see all the name is ease. and it was all full of this general hospital stuff, you know. It was just crazy.

And, of course, the Inquirer and the Star and all this craziness. And, of course, that was the start of Entertainment Tonight. Entertainment News started in 1980, and it was the fall on 1980. And, of course, cable television was coming in, all this stuff. But I... But I just, when I saw that he had just passed away, I just found out about it here last week, but it brought me back to that time of how crazy that watch. And I kind of thought you would probably remember that, too.

Oh, gosh. But I didn't realize he had passed away. Well, and the other thing that's, he was, you know, Jenny Francis, who played Laura. Jeannie, right, right. She was significantly younger than he, and she posted a really, a really sweet memorial to him. And he had been gone for a couple of weeks then, and I was like, I didn't know he was gone. Yeah. Right, yeah.

Yeah, yeah. No, I didn't know anything about it either up until, like I said, last week. You know, I thought. And, you know, he was in movies, too, you know, in the 60s and 70s. And he also did some television. I remember seeing him in, I think it was an episode of Canon or was it Barneyby Jones or something. It was one of those, you know, those cop shows or whatever. But, yeah, it, but yeah, I always kind of liked him.

And I remember him being, well, I think it was the whole. well, not the whole crew of General Hospital, but I do remember seeing when they were on with, oh, Phil Donahue back in the day, too. And I think they had a few of the actors on there. And it was such a phenomenon, too. You know, like I said, that late 70s and early 80s that General Hospital was crazy.

But I will tell you this, I did watch some of those soap operas back in the day. The one I always liked was another world. I used to watch that one every once in a while. And also, you know, of course, the days of our lives was also big, too, at that time. But, yeah, it was just a different time, but I thought I'd just sort of assure that with it.

Yeah, and George and Corp. I thought of that at that time when I saw that he had passed away and how crazy it was. Well, George and Corscol just pointed out Luke and Laura, and it turns out Tony Geary was gay. And now you know the rest. Right. A rest story.

Good day. Yeah, yeah. No, I found that out too. Yeah. I didn't know that. Yeah. Oh, and back to hockey for just a second. Jimmy in the Great Northwest said,

I tell the right-wingers at the bar when I'm watching the Cracken, I like hockey because I like white-on-white cracken. crime. Ha! Right. And, of course, that, that, well, especially. That classic old line, I went to a hot, I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out. Right, right.

Or like the old, what was the name, Rodney Diagefield, said, yeah, he said, I watched it into a bar and a hockey game broke out. Exactly, exactly. Well, you know, I remember. back in the 70s, hockey was brutal. I mean, it was like slap shot. I mean, I remember how violent it was. I love that movie, that Paul Newman movie. Oh, God, yes.

You know, to be, Roxanne, that was the best, well, it's still the best sports movie ever, because it also dealt with relationships and money and ownership of, sports teams and all this stuff. But it was a great, great flick. You know, I saw that movie when it first came out at a drive-in theater. I rocked at. And I just laughed my ass off with a bunch of, you know, friends of my school.

And we all just laughed because it was just so hilarious. And I always will like when Paul Newman gets up in the locker room and he turns to the Hansen Brothers. And he finally realizes, well, boys, we're going to have to use you, and he says, show us what you got. They go up, and they're just smashing everybody, you know. It's just crazy.

Oh, it's, I fell in love with it. And I don't know from hockey. I don't know the rules, nothing. But I know a great sports movie when I see one, and Slapshot is definitely that. Oh, it was just hilarious. Yes. No, I still love it. To me, it's the best sports movie ever.

Although Raging Bull comes very close to it, both. Raging Bowl. Raging Bowl, Slapshot, and I have a very broad and deep soft spot for Bull Durham. Oh, Bull Durham, sure. Right. I mean, I love the fact that the fact that the last, words spoken and it's it okay at the

begin in the the the the the Bull Durham begins with a series of still photographs of great moments in baseball history right right and it closes with the final words

of a great baseball short story and it's the title and it's also So the last words of the story. Oh, God, why can't I remember the author's name? He's an Ohio, and he was the heir apparent at the time to Mark Twain.

But the last words spoken are in the narrator voice of Annie, and she says, you could look it up. And it's a direct... You could look it up. Oh, look it up, yeah. You could look it up. And it's a direct reference to one of the photographs at the beginning of the movie. Perfect bookend.

I love little details like that in film. But, Kurt, I've got one more call I want to get to before the program ends. It's been lovely talking. Okay. Please stay warm. Oh, yes. Yes, yes. I'm always warm here.

And as far as I'm concerned, if you want to celebrate an American hockey win, celebrate the just masterclass that the women's team put on. And, you know, by the way, there were no right-wing chuds hanging out with them, and they're not going to go see the pedophile in chief, neither. So good on you, women's U.S. hockey team. Good on you. And like I said, I've got one more. we are at 3315 to finish the month of February fully funded.

$315 more dollars and were funded for the first half of February. That's one day plus $15 of the first half of February remains unfunded. And we are at a critical juncture with more bills than money to pay them. But let's run over to the, let's run over to the Discord server. are you still there? Tristan. I'm sorry, I was muted. Hello.

Oh, hi, Tristan. How are you? I'm well, sorry. I was listening to the stream, and I, because I can't, I needed to do something, and I had to hang up.

Sure. And, you know, felt Kurt was calling, so I was just like, screw it off. I had to look, I had to find my Mac charger. Luckily, I found it, so.

Oh, good. I'm doing good. How are you doing? You know, I'm depressed with this latest round of snow, but it's still winter, and, you know, we'll get through it. And I've got a bottle of gas going here in the studio, and it's a comfy 61 degrees, and I'm bundled up in my flannel Johnny Bottoms and micro-fleas top and my big fluffy robe and my little hood over it. And, yeah, don't worry, it's not a white hood. It's pink and fuzzy. so yeah

right yeah yeah well right and well and while I was in parker's part while I was getting my

$800 break job that's another reason we're in such a desperate hole here while I was getting that done I walked right next door to where Sam's Club is and just did a walkabout

through the store just to keep from sitting there you know in the garage waiting area yeah and one of the ladies was doing samples for this ready to eat

I mean well you know heat and serve Euro and I love Euro Euro and there was nobody around and she had a big pan full of it and she was just setting out cups and she said nobody's stopping

have lunch and and so I just had several of those little sample cups of the Euro with this jalapeno

feta dip on it and oh my God was it good so that sounds delicious and they had it in just the Euro

and then they had a kit I got both and so this evening after the program I'm going to go in and heat that Euro up and we're going to have Euro on Pito with fetus sauce on it. And I will be a very, very happy girl.

That sounds lovely. I'd be happy, too, if I were eating something like that, making me hungry. I found a picture of something else when I was in there and sent it to my... Oh, my daughter out in New Mexico loves pokey. You know, the tuna. dish. Yeah.

Uh-huh. And they had frozen pokey bowls. And each box had three different flavors in it. And I sent that along to I sent a picture

of it along to her. And she said, we don't have Sam's, we have Costco. And I said, lucky you. Maybe they'll have it too. Yeah, Costco's got a lot of stuff. I don't know. I don't know about those

frozen pokey bowls, though. I'm a little I'm a little wary of that. I think it'll be just fine. It's just thaw and you thaw it and you put the sauce on it and you toss it and you let it, you know, and serve it with some tortilla chips or whatever and heaven. Yeah. Yeah, this Sam's in Vienna, West Virginia, there on the bank of Ohio's River,

has, it's a boozy Sam's. The Sams in Beckley is very definitely not boogey. Is this the same place that has the, what was it, flavored, something, some kind of flavor cheese that you're talking about? Yeah, the upscale cheese. I was talking about the Truffle Gouda. Oh, it's so good. Oh, but wasn't there like a strawberry stilton cheese? Oh, yeah, the blueberry stilton and the cranberry stilton?

Yeah. Oh, God, that sounds good, too. And a wine-soaked goat cheese. I'm not a goat cheese. cheese fan, but people who are have told me that it's fabulous. Oh, that sounds delicious. I am definitely a goat cheese person. I love the stuff. I don't care for the gaminess. Just, ugh. Yeah, well, some people don't. I mean, I, you know, I like, I like deer. I haven't had it

very often, but I like deer. I like wild boar. I like, I like all that gamey stuff. Lamb, you know. Well, you can get to gaming out of it if you prepare it correctly. Yeah, yeah, true. Definitely the wild boar I had was prepared. It was like a wild boar nochi with fennel. And, oh, my heavens. It was a wild boar with fennel and nokey. It's like $30 a plate.

Not cheap. Oh, no, that sounds, no. And I would gladly, you know, I'd at least taste it. I refuse to be a food snob. Or, well, not even a food snob, picky eater. Yeah. I mean, I've even seen, I've even, I've eaten sea urchin row and that was awfully damn good.

Never had that. Not a super big caviar guy, I got to tell you. Not, uh... Well, sea urchin row isn't really caviar-esque. Okay. It's more... It's, you know, a piece of sea urchin row is like the size of a clove of garlic. Okay.

The little eggs are in there, but they're highly concentrated. You know, Bourdain used to refer to it as marine ice cream. Or, you know, saltwater ice cream. Yeah, it's pretty damn good. Yeah, well, I was actually reading about forging the other night. A little public service announcement, Tristan. Learn something the hard way Saturday night. I wanted to take Victoria for a birthday dinner.

Nothing that fancy, but the place is always busy. So I looked them up online and, you know, got the, you know, it listed. And there was a button underneath that to reserve a table. So I used that. I picked my time out. And we showed up and they're like, who? Where did you reserve it? And I showed them and they said, well, I'm glad you can.

in because we've got a couple over here and they had the same problem we didn't even know that existed uh-huh so you know okay no reservations when you mentioned when i mentioned bourdain you know his show was no reservations and it kind of triggered right yes my brain is weird yeah yeah so i get it i get it Well, I mean, that sounds like it's a them problem, not a you problem, because they should have known. Well, yeah, I relied on it in good faith, and they just said, well, next time, just make sure you call the restaurant. Well, I'd called the restaurant, and all I got was either a phone that rang forever or a busy signal. Yeah, that's bullshit. Hopefully, hopefully next time it'll be better.

I'm not one for like asking for refunds for dumb reasons but I don't know you could you might be able to push it or not doesn't matter sometimes restaurants can be less than organized I've definitely experienced that but yeah it's frustrating oh and I don't I don't know if the winter storms on the West Coast did much, but mercy. Lee in New York, and Steve told me earlier, that they got something like 20 inches of snow. There are parts of Queens that got over two feet. Goodness. And I consider myself quite lucky.

I know people across the river here who haven't had electricity. all day long. Jesus. I wonder how Syracuse is affected. Well, it was described as Lake Effect Snow, so I imagine they got hammered, too. Yeah, probably they did. I really do not miss that, not one bit.

It's a little colder, but it's not, you know, it's typical February weather for this part of the country. Well, that was one of the colleges. I applied to and got accepted, and I'm sincerely glad I did not go. Yeah, I mean, you might have, yeah, you might have had a hard time fitting in.

That place is, in addition to being in the middle of fucking snow, it's also, it's pretty elitist. It has an unfair elitist reputation. So, you know, you live and you learn. Sure. And you're out of there. Yeah, I'm back in Seattle doing my thing, doing my videos.

Last time I talked to you, I think Jessica was from Minnesota was 13th subscriber. I'm 47 now. Awesome. And I got, I did a couple short. about Gaza. There was a Lancet study about how many people were killed in Gaza and it was a lot more than we had originally

anticipated. Oh, sure. Yeah, well, come to find out, somebody commented on my video and they said that it was, those were only the numbers in the morgue where people were accounted for. The true

number could be even worse than that. but it, you know, it got quite a number of views, almost a thousand views, it was just a short, not a full video, and had a pretty lively discussion. I was happy to be able to disseminate information to people who maybe weren't informed, I don't know, you know. And they got like six subscribers overnight. So, you know, it's something. Yeah, it's nice to be able to do these sorts of things. And, like, I do feel genuinely happy for doing it. I know a lot of people get emotionally bogged down with the news, and that happens to me, too.

But, you know, I've always wanted to talk about the news. You know, I remember listening to Tom Hartman and Ed Schultz and, you know, for all he's worth. And Mike Malloy, you know. And, like, soaking up as much wisdom as I could, the only regret I have is not starting sooner. Well, the very, you know, there's an old saying about trees. And that is, the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is right now. Yes.

So I think that counts. That applies. Oh, thank you. I agree. And, you know, there's been some interesting things going on. I don't know if you heard about this, but there's a judge just approved a new state map in Utah that take Salt Lake County, which is divided into those. There's four districts, and Salt Lake County, which is a Democratic stronghold, is divided between the four of them. And I guess this new map has it all in one district. And a judge approved it, denied the Republicans' map.

And, yeah. But we don't want to play fair. Yeah, of course we don't. And, you know, they'll probably take it up to, I think this is like, I don't. The story didn't say which circuit court was. But, you know, I guess they might be able to appeal it. I don't know. They probably will. But, you know, the Supreme Court is full of surprises, obviously.

I mean, you know, who the hell knows how they would rule on something like that. Well, they got a gun. You know, you always look for the tit for tat, the Supreme Court. Yeah, everything's a trade. And... Yeah. They will later hear

the question of whether... And I mean, it's a legit question of whether someone who at some point in time has smoked cannabis can purchase a firearm.

Really? That's one of the cases that they're taken up now? Oh, yeah, because it's truly a conflict of law's case, because on the one hand, you've got states that are saying it's legal to purchase and use for recreational purposes, but the federal law requires you upon purchasing a firearm to say, I am not addicted to or use any illegal drugs. well cannabis still remains a Schedule 1 drug just like heroin and cocaine no legitimate medical uses under on the federal level while everybody in their cousin knows that it has legitimate medical uses

because people are experiencing those legitimate medical uses and some of them are people who would like to own firearms. And so even though they're not criminals, this conflict of laws makes them potentially a criminal. You know,

C. Hunter Biden. Yep. Yep. Just another version of Republican big government. Yeah, for a party that hates big government, they sure do big government real good.

They sure do. You know, but remember, it's okay. It's okay if you get smashed every week. You know, want to get you whatever the fuck it is. Go for it. Fuck around with firearms, maybe you can accidentally shoot somebody. Yeah, hey, you want to get, you want to get jacked up out of your mind on Monster and Rockstar and Red Bull? Again, their little jingle, Red Bull gives you wings, also scans with Red Bull tastes like shit.

Yeah, you want to get chemically stimulated on caffeine and guarana and a huge loading dose of sugar or high-fructose corn syrup, whatever. Go for it. You know, because we're so stressed out, we can't get decent rest. And so people wander around needing to artificially wake themselves up and stay woke. Uh-oh, we can't do that throughout the day. five-hour energy you know meanwhile I'm hypersensitive to caffeine

if I you know if I take a couple of good sips of ice tea I'll feel it I can't imagine what it's like to go through life just wired on Red Bull or God knows in the bars the people who mix Red Bull and vodka

yep so you know it's like it's like the old saying from back in the day you know okay you're drunk i'm gonna get you some hot coffee no don't give coffee to the drunk that gets you a wide awake drunk yeah well and now they even have these like pre-packaged uh mixed cocktails that are like you know that have caffeine in them like four locos and stuff ugh oh this is this is this This is important. I just got this in toward the end of the program, but this is a big deal. An anonymous individual said, if someone will give 20 bucks, just 20 bucks, I'll kick in, I have a show on me. That's 300. So 20 bucks to get 300 and fully fund us through the first half of February.

is there 20 bucks out there because if it comes in in the next couple of minutes before the show ends I can announce it and we'll be down to we'll be down to only half of February to fund going back to going back to Utah that you mentioned the redistricting thing Tristan Geno an expert on Utah politics says actually the recent

judicial event is that the Utah Supreme Court refused to overturn the new map imposed by a lower judge weeks ago because the legislature wouldn't follow the people's law. Damn. Okay. Interesting. And so now I suppose

that'll go from, and this is weird how appeals work. When it's the final judgment of a state Supreme Court, you don't have to go through all the falterall of the United States Circuit Courts of Appeals. appeals, you appeal directly to the Supreme Court.

I see. Interesting. And, of course, we know that the way that this gang of judicial punks and thugs operates, the maggots in Utah will run screaming to D.C. You know, like, emergency! Emergency! Yeah. And they'll issue some, they can and often have, issue some sort of bullshit ruling with no rationale whatsoever and say, well, the litigation can continue to blow. But that puts them in a hard position because there's no litigation to continue below. So I don't know.

Yeah. I don't either. I guess we'll see what happens. And huge thank you, Ralph's, huge. Thank you. That 20 bucks came in, so we now qualify for... We have a show on me, and we are halfway funded, and thank you, George, and course, gold as well.

We're actually beginning funding of the second half of February here on the last Monday thereof. So, fighting chance. Thank you, George. Thank you, Ralphs. And thank you, kind anonymous Internet friend. That takes us down. I guess that gets us down to 2980, to finish the month of February. But I do have to roll out of here.

And while the electricity is still on, I'm going to try to get that Euro going in the skillet. By the way, Emilio earlier. Snobby elitist pronounces Euro correctly, just like Pol Pot. There you go. Yeah. And just one last stupid thing on the way out the door.

From the Intercept, Christy Gnome repeatedly claimed ICE deported a cannibal. It was completely made up. Oh yeah, I saw that. I saw that this morning. Good God. Oh, God.

I wonder when she's going to find the underside of the bus. Oh, I'm sure it's coming soon. Only a matter of time. Yeah, the story was from last summer about a cannibal who ate other people and began to eat himself on an deportation flight.

Well, the intercept says that three officials from federal law enforcement agencies, including DHS, say it's completely false. The claims were ludicrous. and there was no evidence corroborating. And meanwhile, a spokescrete for DHS said, Well, the secretary was simply relaying the claims of an air marshal. What fabrication of the story of the cannibal?

She was told the story on a deportation flight by one of the air marshals. Well, then somebody punked the living shit out of Krusty the nasty Nazi gnome. Seems fairly straightforward. God. Oh, this timeline. Tristan, this timeline, this timeline, this timeline, God, almighty. Makes me liver quiver. Well, yeah, I'm right there with you.

Good heavens. Well, you have a great evening. I'm glad we got a chance to talk this evening. All right, good deal. Yeah. And keep going with your YouTube channel. You'll get more subscribers. You want to give the handle out again?

Oh, yeah, it's YouTube.com slash the Megafox 101, all one word, no capitals, nothing like that. T-A-com slash... T-H-E-M-E-G-A-F-O-X. 101. One-one. Okay. Tristan, have a good night. We'll talk soon.

Yep, take care. Bye. All right. I think this program was content-rich. And, well, God, they all are, aren't they? And that's the program from Sylvie. Channeling Barbara Streisand sings. People.

Oh, Roxanne. Sylvie, you know better than to make me sing. People. People who eat people are the hungriest people in the world. Yeah, I do that, and maybe we deserve not to be fully funded. Thanks, Sylvie. So thanks everybody. Thanks to each and every one of you who share your precious finite time engaging in the program
