“Welcome to Costco. I love you.” Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian & Liam – with BFF of the BFE: Synthia beaming in from the not-so-distant future as we crack open the absurd, prophetic, and depressingly accurate Idiocracy (2006). We're trading shark-infested waters for Gatorade-irrigated crops and President Camacho in our 289th episode as we ask: Was Idiocracy always this smart, or has the world just gotten that dumb? We explore how a film that bombed at release has somehow become the most referenced dystopia not named Orwell. What does it say about society that Mike Judge's lowbrow future doesn't seem that far off? Synthia breaks down the subtle and not-so-subtle satire—and why this film still hits different in a post-algorithm world. Ian wonders whether the comedy lands… or whether it's just too bleak to laugh anymore. Liam confesses which part of the film made him physically cringe (hint: it's not just the opening montage). We talk about the difference between satire and smugness, and where Idiocracy walks that tightrope. Is the film's central conceit plausible… or offensively oversimplified? With the film's conceit being that everyone is stupid, are we allowed to get frustrated with the tone for being too stupid? Why Terry Crews as President Camacho might be the most pitch-perfect casting choice in a dystopian comedy ever. What modern products or trends Idiocracy weirdly predicted (we're looking at you, reality TV and clickbait). And finally, whether Idiocracy is the Best Film Ever—or just the most important film people still haven't seen. Become a Patron of this podcast and support the BFE at https://www.patreon.com/BFE.

Hop aboard the Brolita Express! Find a seat between Orwell and Borges. We're stopping in Austin and London on our way to Hive, a mysterious Greek island run entirely by women, ruled by a masked queen, where only the manliest men are sometimes invited. Jack Mason (The Perfume Nationalist) and Yeerk (Bistro Californium) are on the list. And so of course is my old friend Garin Hovannisian, illusionist and author of the must-read new novel HIVE, which I urge you all to read while summer is with us. The audio in Austin in the first half is low, so please raise your volume then adjust as we cross the pond   For twice the feature length adventures, and regular smoke-break mini eps on topics of the day, subscribe to the show at patreon.com/filthyarmenian   If you joined us IRL in LA or Austin or NYC or London, it was lovely to see you.

Was George Orwell the socialist hero we thought he was? Spoiler: absolutely not. Juliet Corbett joins me to discuss Wifedom by Anna Funder, which reveals shocking truths about Orwell's treatment of his first wife, Eileen O'Shaughnessy. Turns out Eileen was crucial to his best work but has been systematically written out of his story by biographers. We dig into the disturbing details of Orwell's behaviour - from putting Eileen's life at risk to his predatory conduct with women.  The book structure itself is also fascinating - blending biography with memoir + showing how Orwell's biographers colluded in erasing Eileen. Plus, it's a superb look at the gap between what he preached about equality + how he actually lived. Fair warning: your opinion of Orwell might never recover. Look for more Book Huddle episodes.

“Cada linha de trabalho que escrevi foi escrita, direta ou indiretamente, contra o totalitarismo”. É comum encontrarmos essa citação de George Orwell por aí. Porém, com frequência a segunda parte da frase é omitida. O britânico escreveu, sim, para combater o totalitarismo. Mas não só. O olhar para a própria obra está no ensaio “Por que escrevo”, de 1946. E a citação completa é essa: “Cada linha de trabalho sério que escrevi desde 1936 foi escrita, direta ou indiretamente, contra o totalitarismo e em prol do socialismo democrático”. Orwell, vocês sabem, é autor de “1984” e “Animal Farm”, que aqui cito com o título original por razões que vocês entenderão ao longo do podcast. Não só isso. Também escreveu dezenas de ensaios que nos ajudam a compreender como a sua visão de mundo foi sendo forjada de acordo com as próprias experiências. É um dos autores mais citados e lidos do século 20. Também é dono de uma das biografias mais desprezadas e das obras mais deturpadas desse período. Há muitas interpretações tresloucadas sobre a literatura de Orwell por aí. Para entender melhor quem foi esse cara e quais são os caminhos legítimos para interpretar a sua obra que convidei Débora Tavares para um papo. Débora é professora e idealizadora da Livre Literatura, plataforma que nasceu em 2020 com o objetivo de divulgar e democratizar o conhecimento produzido na universidade pública. Vou deixar o caminho do Instagram para vocês na descrição do episódio, recomendo que acompanhem o trabalho dela lá no Livre Literatura. Débora é também mestre e doutora em literatura pela USP, onde pesquisou a obra de George Orwell e a sua relação com a História. *** A coletânea de Brecht que menciono, organizada por André Vallias, saiu pela Perspectiva, não pela Parábola. ** O caminho para o instagram do Livre Literatura: https://www.instagram.com/livre_literatura * Aqui o caminho para a newsletter da Página Cinco: https://paginacinco.substack.com/

Chance has officially hit the credits of Death Stranding 2 and has almost nothing but nice things to say about it. It is hard to argue with shirtless hand to hand guitar battles. Alex is catching up on the Final Fantasy games that he never played. This week it is XIII, a game that still looks good and whose writing is still bad. And Chamberlain has returned to his gaming comfort zone: 7/10 games with obvious flaws and a lot of heart. Karma is a walking sim crossed with Orwell by way of Inception and Somber Echoes is a metroidvania with a good map, and sometimes that is all that is required.

With a fresh multi-trillion-dollar bill that Trump wants signed on July 4th—because of course—the dollar's tanking, the debt's exploding, and inflation isn't done with us yet. Ray Dalio's math says we're headed for “big painful disruptions.” Gerardo and Nick explain why that's bullish for gold, copper, and popcorn (seriously—$89 buckets are coming).Market Takes - Copper's still above $5, lithium is quietly waking up, and platinum just had its best monthly move in 40 years. The NASDAQ and S&P are calm, but don't confuse quiet indices with a healthy economy. Gerardo and Nick are eyeing the real signal. “It's not a complicated thesis,” Gerardo says. “You just have to know what you own.” A new copper deal is dropping next week. Nick and Gerardo walk through the behind-the-scenes work it took to secure an unusually favorable structure: strategic investors, a 12-month lock-up, over $100M in potential partner funding, and a massive land position in Australia's Macquarie Arc. This is the kind of deal where legends like Rick Rule are writing checks—and it's coming to subscribers first. Join Private Placement Intel to participate in the deal next week.

Nick also drops a righteous rant on local politics, semantics, and why Spokane's city council should stop serving hot dogs and calling them hamburgers. Gerardo weighs in on the Lia Thomas ruling and says what most people are thinking but too afraid to say: you can respect someone's identity and still want fairness in women's sports. Nick breaks it down with Pew poll data, Orwell quotes, and a reminder that logic is not bigotry. “You're born either male or female. That's not politics—it's biology.”Premium Portfolio Picks - For paid listeners only.

Amid starvation and horrifically escalating atrocities in Gaza, Israel announces plans to build a giant concentration camp on the ruins of Rafah, an evident preparation for forced "transfer" of the Palestinian populatin from the Strip entirely—an idea Trump enthusiastically embraces. On the West Bank, amid growing settler attacks, more Palestinian land is enclosed behind separation walls built to protect Israeli settlements. And amid all this, Benjamin Netanyahu (wanted for war crimes by the ICC) meets with Trump in Washington to openly discuss the "transfer" plan—and announces that he has nominated the American president for the Nobel Peace Prize. In Episode 286 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg argues that Trump could in fact get get the Nobel prize while facilitating genocide in Gaza and instating a mass detention state in the US—a fitting inauguration of the fascist world order.

"You could sit at home, and do like absolutely nothing, and your name goes through like 17 computers a day. 1984? Yeah right, man. That's a typo. Orwell is here now. He's livin' large. We have no names, man. No names. We are nameless!" HACKERS hit theaters in 1995—and mostly flatlined. But before it became a cult phenomenon, it was a risky production that blended cutting-edge visual effects, rave culture aesthetics, and a sincere belief that the digital frontier was worth fighting for. In this episode, we dive into the making of the film, the marketing missteps that doomed its initial release, and the slow rise of HACKERS as a touchstone for cyberpunk cinema and internet culture. We'll also share our own thoughts on its uncanny prescience, its unforgettable style, and why it still resonates with audiences today. Suit up, grab your laptop, and join us as we trace how Hackers went from box-office flop to a beloved artifact of the wired age. Want to support the show?

Margaret Atwood—author of more than 60 books in almost every conceivable genre, recipient of more than 100 literary prizes—is a global icon. Like Kafka and Orwell before her, she and her writing have become part of the public discourse, wherever we live and whatever our age. Her intelligence is that vital and exacting, her wit that mischievous, her concerns – feminism, environmentalism, dystopian societies – that urgently relevant. The author is fond of quoting a Polish resistance fighter from the Second World War who once told her: “Pray that you will never have the occasion to be a hero.” As it's turned out, in her long and singular literary career, Margaret Atwood has indeed had the occasion to be a hero, numerous times, and always risen to the moment. After receiving the 2024 Sun Valley Writers Conference Writer in the World Prize, she spoke to Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Ayad Akhtar about her life, her work, and some of the wonders and terrors of the world we are living in.

En este episodio os hablaremos de 1984, de George Orwell, una novela distópica que retrata un mundo totalitario donde el Estado vigila y controla todos los aspectos de la vida. La historia sigue a Winston Smith, un trabajador del Partido que comienza a cuestionar la realidad impuesta por el Gran Hermano. En Oceanía, la libertad de pensamiento está prohibida y el lenguaje es manipulado para eliminar la disidencia. Orwell construye una crítica feroz a la censura, la vigilancia masiva y la manipulación ideológica. Publicada en 1949, 1984 sigue siendo una advertencia inquietante sobre los peligros del poder absoluto y la erosión de la verdad. ⚠️ Si este programa te ha gustado: comenta, dale a me gusta, compártelo.

Now we know why the Trump administration was declared the “peace presidency,” because those optics were necessary to escalate global conflict to emergency levels as part of a larger agenda that involved regime change in Iran. From the July, 2024, assassination optics, to the head of Palantir saying the next month in August that the US will fight a 3-front war against Russia, China, and Iran, to the second assassination attempt in September of that year, to the $100-million Mariam Adelson gave Trump beginning in July, it was all part of a build up that culminated in OpenAI winning a $200 million defense contract and Palantir obtaining a $1.3 billion contract from the Pentagon just weeks before the Israeli attack. Now we have learned that despite what American spies said, or US Agencies, or the Director of National Intelligence, or what even the misquoted IAEA said - “no credible indications of ongoing, undeclared structured nuclear programme” in Iran - that Palantir's MOSAIC counterinsurgency-AI was responsible for the Israeli attack, and now the American attack on June 21, 2025. This technology was also employed in Ukraine and Gaza, and is set to be used in the United States. Pretty convenient what Karp had predicted back in August, 2024. It's also pretty convenient that a largely Jewish company had the evidence to justify initial and future attacks that produce, if there wasn't before, a threat and an enemy.Palantir, OpenAI and Meta have also had executives appointed to the US military by the Trump administration in recent days.What's even more telling is that the attack on Iran by US forces occurred the summer solstice, a three day festival historically, and on a waning moon, the phase of Hecate, the goddess of witchcraft and the underworld, to help protect the B-2 bombers. This plays well with the Israel attack on Friday 13 at 3:30am, the witching hour, and the Jewish holidays that corespondent to the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and Libya. The initial Israel attack also occurred with Mars, god of war, in Leo, the lion, corresponding with both astrology and the biblical lion as the operation was called Rising Lion. The Summer solstice also aligns with the story of Samson and his solar hair, itself used as the name of Israel's not-so-secret nuclear weapons plan to destroy the world before the government falls. October 7, 2001, was the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, and the day the Bush administration initiated operations in Afghanistan; March 20, 2003 was the Jewish holiday of Purim, and the day Operation Iraqi Freedom began with preemptive airstrikes on a country that did not posses WMDs; October 20, 2011 was the Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret, and day Libya was officially overthrown with the death of Muammar Gaddafi; September 22, 2014, was the first day of Rosh Hashanah, and also the day the U.S. officially intervened in Syria against ISIS under Operation Inherent Resolve; October 7, 2023, the date when Israel allowed Hamas to attack them giving rise to the current onslaught, was also a celebration of Shemini Atzeret and a transition of Saturn “returns” through Pisces.Few stop to question the rhetoric of “Iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear bomb,” or “but they chant death to America.” Israel can have secret bombs with no international inspections, though, and the only reasoning given why Iran can't is they would destroy Tel Aviv and maybe an American city because they hate Americans. But you do not need such a bomb to do that, as hypersonic missile have demonstrated in Tel Aviv. And, of course, just like the burning of Bush effigies in Iraq what is the reasoning for this blind hatred. Depending on the context, it varies, but the most recent case of this occurred when the Iranian parliament burned an American flag in protest of the US being pulled out of the “Iran deal” for it being too lenient, i.e., no regime change as far as Israel was concerned. And now we are at war again, based off of WMDs 2.0, i.e., AI algorithms predicting nuclear bombs like we have been sold since 1984 at least when the program was “entering its final stages.” In iconic Orwell fashion, too, Trump referred to entering the war that Israel started as “THE TIME FOR PEACE” - WAR IS PEACE. Virtually his entire base, and even political opponents, are finding justifications for the war as to not lose face, too, another version of IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH. An administration of peace cannot threaten countries that want peace, countries that want to try war criminals, and refuse to agree to any kind of peace plan. And we also know that Benjamin Netanyahu was and remains under investigation in his own country for criminal charges ranging from obtaining and leaking top secret documents, protocol tampering, and blackmail, all things shelved on October 7, 2023. Now a few days before the attack on Iran, cross-examination of Netanyahu was about tog begin.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

When it comes to public funding by legislatures, the University of Wisconsin System is already one of the least-supported in the country because of an ongoing Republican war against education. Now GOP lawmakers want to drag the UW down further. Instead of considering the requests from Gov. Tony Evers and hundreds of business leaders for an overdue funding increase, Republicans are now talking about cutting UW funding. Why? Their perpetual whining about “political correctness” has them demanding changes in how ideas are discussed. How much closer to Orwell's “Thinkpol” can they get?

In "Step 88: Rorty's Solidarity," the concluding episode of our three-part series on Richard Rorty's Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity (1989), host Ryder Richards explores Part III, Chapters 7–9, where Rorty tackles cruelty and solidarity. Rorty argues that solidarity isn't a universal human essence but a contingent creation, forged through imaginative identification with others' pain via narratives like novels. We delve into vivid examples: Nabokov's Lolita and its “tingles” of aesthetic bliss, which reveal cruelty through inattention and inspire moral empathy; Orwell's 1984, where O'Brien's intelligent cruelty underscores the fragility of liberal hope; and Sellars' “we-intentions,” showing how solidarity expands “us” through shared stories, not abstract truths.Rorty's appeal lies in his witty, pragmatic blend of literary insight and moral hope, empowering us to craft kinder worlds without metaphysical crutches. Yet, Ryder remains skeptical, critiquing how Rorty's vision has materialized but been subverted in 2025. While his liberal ironist thrives in self-creation and anti-cruelty movements, mimetic identities—adopting others' vocabularies for social gain—and weaponized solidarity, where anti-cruelty fuels division, distort his utopia. This episode traces Rorty's narrative-driven philosophy from language and selfhood to community, urging listeners to question vocabularies while imagining a broader “we.” Join us for a compelling finale to this philosophical journey, available on LetUsThinkAboutIt. 0:00 Intro 2:23 Noticing Cruelty through Narrative: Nabokov 7:18 Fragility of Liberal Hope: Orwell 11:50 Creating Solidarity: Sellars 15:48 Rorty's Legacy: subversion and capture 20:28 Outro

Hello and Welcome to Colonial Outcasts, the anti-imperialist podcast that your MAGA uncle might hate less today than he did yesterday, as that entire cult of personality is fragmenting yet again with the advent of this new Palantir deal to create a national database that is unprecedented in our history. It will include:- Tax filings- Student Debt- Social Security- Bank Accounts- Medical Claims- Immigration statusNo previous database system has ever centralized this much personal info across various federal agencies. If you, like me, are a critic of China's social credit system (totally valid to disagree with me), just know that in the Hands of Palantir, a data analysis company founded in 2003, partially backed by the CIA's venture capital arm, In-Q-Tel, the new American edition is going to be so much more repressive and targeted.

George Orwells dystopischer Roman „1984“ gehört zu den berühmtesten Büchern des 20. Jahrhunderts und wird immer dann herangezogen, wenn totalitäre Entwicklungen in der Gesellschaft beschrieben werden sollen. Ob es um Sprachpolitik, militärische Propaganda oder die öffentliche Meinung geht – immer findet man dazu eine passende Stelle in dem Klassiker aus dem Jahre 1949. Was aber lernen wir über das Wirtschaftssystem in dem fiktiven Staat? Welche Form von Herrschaft zeigt Orwell? Wo liegen die Schwächen und Stärken des Textes, der wie kaum ein anderer auch die Populärkultur prägte? Begriffe wie Neusprech oder Doppeldenk taugen noch immer, um herrschende Ideologien besser zu erkennen. In der neuen Folge von „Wohlstand für Alle“-Literatur sprechen Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M. Schmitt nicht nur über den Roman, sondern auch über ein Vorwort, das der ehemalige Wirtschaftsminister Robert Habeck zu einer deutschen Neuübersetzung beisteuerte.

Welcome to our monthly book discussion series hosted by Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) and me, Phil Svitek! This month, we dive into 1984 by George Orwell—a haunting dystopian novel that remains startlingly relevant more than 75 years after its release.We follow Winston Smith, a quiet rebel in a world where the Party controls truth, history, language, and even thought. As Winston struggles to hold onto his sense of reality and love in a society ruled by surveillance, propaganda, and fear, Orwell forces us to confront the dangers of authoritarianism and the erosion of individual freedom.In this conversation, we unpack the novel's central ideas—from Newspeak, doublethink, and Big Brother to the manipulation of memory and meaning. We also explore Orwell's personal history, his political awakening, and why this story continues to resonate with readers facing censorship, misinformation, and political polarization today.Join us as we break down Orwell's major themes, timeless warnings, and literary legacy—and don't forget to share your takeaways in the comments!Upcoming Reads:-Avatar: The Last Airbender – The Reckoning of Roku by Randy Ribay (June 2025)-TBD (July 2025)-Directed By by James Burrows (August 2025)

Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Alan Minskoff talk about Laila Lalami's dystopian novel, set in an uncomfortably near future. It's narrated by an exceptional Frankie Corzo, who voices an innocent woman incarcerated for her dreams. Much of the narrative is the protagonist Sara's thoughts, feelings, and reactions. The novel is reminiscent of Kafka and Orwell, had they lived in the Internet Age. Sara and her cohorts' mysterious plight seem frighteningly possible.

2:30 Chemtrails, mRNA Kill Shots Self-Amplifying and Aerosol      Trump's administration is fast-tracking mRNA genetic injections again — this time self-amplifying — even as a new study shows spike in all cause mortality from the previous Trump shots     And as RFKj confirms DARPA's chilling chemtrail program, a new AeroVax aerosol inhalable mRNA nanotech is nearing approval 26:39 Trump Goes Full Knucklehead with MS-13 Tattoo Tantrum Over a Photoshopped Lie          Trump's unhinged meltdown over a crudely photoshopped MS-13 tattoo exposes not only his shocking ignorance but an administration cowed into sycophancy, afraid to tell him when he forgets to wear his pants.     His administration is ignoring REAL evidence of cartel activity by the individual in question and doubling down on fake evidence out of pride and a determination to never admit a mistake.  How typical.  How telling.  How amusing and dangerous at the same time. 50:42 Trump's First 100 Days: Dark Time for Free

comments 1:18:26 King Charles' Dark Night of the Soul as He Deals with CancerUnlike past monarchs who stood in awe of the King of Kings during Handel's Messiah or humbled themselves as “sinners” at death's door as the Hapsburg Emperors, Charles clings to a dark, hopeless view of mortality, ignoring the confident expectation of Christian salvation. 1:23:56 Supreme Court's Dangerous Gamble: Funding Catholic Charter Schools Could Unleash a Flood of Taxpayer-Backed Islamic Madrassas     A Catholic church's push for a taxpayer-backed charter school threatens to set a precedent that would funnel billions to Islamic madrassas, like those run by the Gulenists, who've already siphon nearly a billion annually in Texas alone under the guise of “science and math” schools.     From secular humanism to Sharia law, this explosive case risks entangling education with government money strings 1:33:39 Treasury Report Shows The STABLECOIN CONSPIRACYTony Arterburn, DavidKnight.gold, joins    The most recent Treasury report projects explosive growth for stablecoins over the next 3 years — and why not since they'll be used to soak up treasury bonds and repos.  It's a public-private

and silver remain as true safe havens. 2:13:33 Eric Trump: “Banks Will Be Gone in 10 Years”Eric Trump is storming Dubai, hawking luxury properties and sketchy crypto schemes — Meet the New Crime

Concentration Camps     This sinister scheme promises 10 new U.S. cities built on public land, free from “red tape.” But don't be fooled!     With the Department of Interior and HUD joining forces to seize federal land these cities are a combination “company town” and “Smart City” 2:36:37 VISA Wants You to Give Your Credit Card to an “AI Agent” Rolling out now are AI agents with the power to carry

SEASON 3 EPISODE 120: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: We’ve all known it would come to this; we’ve all WARNED it would come to this; we’ve all PREDICTED they’d try to ease the knife in slowly, they’d take the boiling frog route, and here it comes. It’s in every piece of political science fiction from "1984" to "Brazil" to "V For Vendetta." And it is now real: if everything Trump does deserves criticism and gets criticism there is only one thing for Trump and his gang to do: prosecute criticism of Trump and claim those WHO criticize him are aiding and abetting terrorists. The ultimate Thought Crime was given voice by no less a figure than Trump's Counterterrorism Director, who, since Trump found the worst possible person to do each job (and bin Laden is dead) is Sebastian Gorka. The threat is connected to the push to send not just immigrants to rot in a For-Profit El Salvador Rendition Center, but American citizens too, especially those who standup to Trump's attempt to purge Hispanics from this country. Axios reports that one of the other potential new Orwellian crimes would be advising detainees of their rights. If that's not directed at AOC I don't know what could be. B-Block (25:20) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Derrick Van Orden attacks Wisconsin's governor because Van Orden thinks Milwaukee kids are stupid - and he misspells the word "how" in his post. Brian Kilmeade's Hegseth spoiler alert: he calls him "former secretary." And we are all very proud here that one of 'our own' has reduced Bill Maher to graffiti. Further details on "My Dinner With Adolf." C-Block (37:45) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: I had literally forgotten - until I literally worked through the neighborhood - that I made my Broadway singing and dancing debut seven years ago. I mean literally, on stage, during an actual Broadway show. If it made that much of an impression on me, imagine how bored the audience was! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 119: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: Senator Lisa Murkowski may be the most important person in the country right now. Her public confession that she too is afraid of the Trump nightmare and her HINTS at talking to Senate colleagues ABOUT her fear – could provide just enough Republican rebellion to rein Trump in. It feels as if she just got it, as if she just understood that yes Trump is Nazi-esque and yes Trump often emulates the Soviets but the closest parallel to him is O'Brien and "The Party" in Orwell's "1984" and the simple terrifying conviction that "the object of power is power." That's why I think when Kristi Garden Noem and Secretary of Defense (and Vodka) Hegseth (if he's still on the job after ANOTHER Signal chat came to light) file their report on the border to Trump this week and tell him no, they don't need to invoke The Insurrection Act, he may do it anyway because... the object of power is power. Murkowski and thirteen other Republican Senators and at most four Republican Representatives can stop this. They can save the country. They can impeach Trump or if they still can’t get over the hump, the 18 of you can use the THREAT to impeach him, to virtually fetter him, to at least control the width and breadth of his damage, to make him know the Senate WILL vote against him. She can also talk to anybody on the Supreme Court except Alito or Thomas. The other seven, in the middle of the damn night - at 1 AM Saturday - stepped in to freeze any further disappearing Americans under the phony premise of The Alien Enemies Act. And there is reason to hope that these Murkowski-led conversations might happen before the iron curtain of dictatorship descends: Later in her confession of fear, she hinted at doing exactly what I just suggested. Meanwhile, how many times can you self-destruct on this? Gavin Newsom dismisses the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case as a "distraction" and calls Democrats sheep for defending the constitution. On the other hand, Senator Ed Markey is crafting a sense of the senate resolution stating Trump cannot again be elected, and cannot again serve, as president or vice president. Damn Straight. B-Block (40:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The Musk Crappertruck Owner who claims to also be a "girl dad"; Pennsylvania congressman Dan Meuser kinda blames Governor Josh Shapiro's criticizing Trump for provoking the attempt to incinerate him and his family in the governor's mansion on Passover. And Trump DEI hire Pam Bondi lies that compulsive martyr and 85th Place Olympic Trials finisher Riley Gaines "went to the Olympics." Not unless she bought a ticket, Pam Blondie. C-Block (55:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: The renewed Trump bid to ban the Associated Press got me talking to a friend: How MANY times have I been banned, as a reporter? Do you mean this century, or in total? It's... a lot. From the LA Clippers to the ESPN Campus, I've been banned... a lot. And je ne regret rien!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
