Walker's Candidacy Is An Assault on Black Americans DignityWe've been doing this show for years now, right? I had my people go back through the archives and tally up the number of times the word Trump was spoken. Let's go around the table and see who can guess the number.

Our Cincinnati Bengals are now making their run again, Jerry and Jene's grandsons are getting deep into their grade school basketball teams play and Xavier has now beat the University of Cincinnati four years in a row in basketball.Jerry, looking back on your youth, what is your best sports memory? Is it when you were tossed out of the gym as the grade school announcer at a basketball game? That's a Jerry Springer classic moment.

God Bless Joe BidenPresident Joseph Biden said this election is about saving democracy. It's about the very soul of America. Trust the American people to put that notion above partisanship.

Republicans Have No Moral CompassRepublicans will vote for any Republican regardless of moral character or competence. There are no lines they won't cross if what's at stake is the next election. Herschel Walker has no more business being a United States senator than a twelve year old in terms of ability and knowledge. Georgia's election shouldn't even be close. If you're a Republican, wouldn't this be a good way to clean up the party's leadership by telling them you can't take our vote for granted, you must give us quality candidates to vote for or we're staying home. Walker is Trump 2.0.Then we'll ask Jerry about what he found when he returned home to Florida both at his home and in the community post hurricane.We play recordings of Jerry's folk duo from an old 45 record.

Bad Jerry Springer Dad Jokes Are Back In Full Form!Jerry shows up to a party too early, and tries to get soon to be expected parents to name their children Jerry Springer. Bad dad jokes are back in full form!Jerry's commentary: This is 2022. Have we learned nothing? Are we to leave our children and grandchildren a legacy of, “What were we thinking?” “How backwards were we?” ‘How could we tolerate such ignorance and bigotry? So as to defile, America at its best is supposed to stand for?” “Come on, Christian nationalism?” It is an insult to Christianity. It's a defamation to America.Musical guest: Spooky Foxhttps://www.facebook.com/spookyfoxforever/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What Would Jerry Do?A Faustian bargain never ends well. Selling one's soul for an earthly prize. So it won't end well for Republicans who have sold their soul. That is any sense of honesty, morality, the Big Lie, to the extreme right wing empowered by Trump for a momentary victory in the primaries. A younger generation, indeed a multicultural one at that, is not likely to sign on what used to be a respected political party and is now a personality worshipping loyalty demanding cult.

Jerry's Baaaaack!

Which is where Jerry was born in a subway (or tube) that was being used as a bomb shelter.The duality of the Monarchy as a symbol of racism and how it also during WWII brought England together when there was no hope for the country.

Happy Solstice Everybody!Republican Laws Are a Win-Win For Everyone; Except WomenThe "arm our teachers" movement just got worse. Supposedly moderate Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine is signing House Bill 99 into law today that changes training time for teachers to possess firearms at school from 700 hours to a mere 24 hours, and all this after a team of highly trained and armed officers hid in a hallway fearing an AR15 shooter in a Texas school.

The only replacement was when caucasians slaughtered indigenous Native-Americans. Why are some people so afraid of not being a majority in America?

Putin Will Be Removed From Office Dead Or Alive.The Russian population will eventually turn on him when the Ukraine war is over. Putin's censoring all news, so most Russians don't yet know that his assault is killing thousands and displacing millions. If a news member calls it a war they will get a fifteen year prison sentence. Is there a connection about Florida's recent bill prohibiting schools and workplace training programs from discussing racism, white supremacy, or priviledge. Instructors aren't allowed to say anything that might make people feel badly, because their race treated another race prejudicially. Both instances are covering up cases of injustice.To prepare for the possibility of Jerry and his team launching an assault on Georgia's Springer Mountain (surely named for TV celebrity Jerry Springer) to plant the Springer family flag with its historic crest, Jene made actual phone calls to a librarian in Cherokee County Georgia, the media relations department of the State of Georgia and the headquarters of Georgia Search and Rescue.

The Podcast Celebrates Its Seventh Anniversary!Ukraine gave up 1800 nuclear missiles in the Budapest Memoranda where Russia, U.S. & Great Britain promised to keep Ukraine safe. Diplomacy took a hit when Trump tore up the Nuclear arms deal with Iran. He also withdrew from the Intermediate Forces Treaty with Russia. He pulled out of the Paris Climate Agreement. All while blasting NATO and the U.N. in the process making our word meaningless on the world stage. Where does all this end if treatise and negotiated agreements have no more worth than the paper they're written on? Then Jene blames Jerry for his now being on every Republican candidate list in America. But is America actually better when people vote and donate across party lines?

Don't Let Anyone Stop You From Voting.As it happened in Georgia in 2020, if everyone votes, the anti-democracy votes and the party that supports them cannot win. This is the one task that can make the Democratic party relevant again. It is the only thing that can make Democracy survive.Jene questioned the local Arch-diocese about the Priests abusing pre-teens while on the air on a Cincinnati radio station.Jene did something Jerry does regularly: He drove to Florida, arrived at 1:00 in the afternoon, and then turned around at 5:00 and drove back home nearly a thousand miles away, and slept that night in the back of his SUV in a rest stop in Georgia. He'll compare notes with Jerry about his recent road trips.Musical guest: Cole Chaneyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q329MTX1yIk See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Lifelong Dem Jerry Springer Supports Liz Cheney With Campaign DonationJene gets us into a conversation about a new play dealing with the priest abuse scandal that's getting introduced in Cincinnati tonight. It's also getting sent to a theatre in LA that's interested in looking at it. (Remember, this situation exploded with publicity in 2002 through a series of stories by the Boston Globe but then quickly spread across the country, including in Cincinnati.)Cincinnati has a new mayor (Aftab Pureval - he traveled to his swearing in on a bicycle) that reminds us a lot of a former Cincinnati mayor, Jerry Springer.Our musical guest will be Cole Chaney, from Kentucky.

We'll Be Back Next Week! In The Meantime, Here's Our Return To The U.S. From Cuba.Jerry, Jene and Megan went to Cuba last week — in this podcast, they recap the highlights of the trip, which include: -Jerry not being recognized by many Cubans because his show isn't on there. So Casey became the star. -Where was Megan for 28 hours? And why did they almost keep her in Cuba at the very end? -Jene was the most invisible member of the delegation who said very little. (Remember, team, what is said in Cuba STAYS in Cuba!) -Jerry said to a ranking government official at dinner, “You want some?” -Jerry singing “I Saw Her Standing There” on the Malecon Wall with a crowd gathering to hear but no one knowing he's a US celebrity. He earned their love with talent. -The “ranking govt. official “ who told us at dinner about being jailed, tortured and exiled by Batista for 11 days before returning when the revolution was won and Fidel, Che, Raul and others paraded into Havana victorious, and going sleepless for 8 days among a jubilant celebration. -Realizing that music is the universal language.
