[I’m currently having trouble playing it, and after trying on and off for about an hour, I’m going to post this, without time points.

Update: Okay, it’s working now. I’ve added time points. —P]

Preview:

A-Block (1:39) SPECIAL COMMENT: President Biden needs to federalize the Tennessee National Guard in order to help re-establish democracy in that state. A GOP super-majority employs sanctioned government bigotry, racism, and fascism to EXPEL two African-Americans who had the temerity to protest the slaughter of school children there. The cracker NRA members who did this did everything but call them “boy”, describe them as “uppity”, or say “what we have is failure to communicate.”

(9:59) SPECIAL COMMENT: The Senate must impanel a committee in hopes of forcing the resignation or arrest of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, our 21st Century version of Boss Tweed, a walking, breathing version of a “FOR SALE” sign.

(22:26) SPECIAL COMMENT: Alvin Bragg has a TAPE of The Defendant and Michael Cohen talking about hush money for women. [“Lordy, there are tapes!”] And Jim Jordan may just be stupid enough to conduct hearings on Bragg and Trump and Stormy Daniels and let the Democrats prosecute him day after day after day. Plus those Secret Service agents are testifying TODAY, per CBS News, to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s Grand Jury. B-BLOCK (31:24) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Biden strikes a devil’s bargain with fascists who will never stop with what he’s giving them: SOME trans athletes can be barred from high school and college sports? And Sean Spicer’s TV career is over.

(33:16) IN SPORTS: Mastering the Masters after a double-bogey on the 1st Hole. The Pitch Clock is 8 days old. The Pitch Clock will soon be sponsored.

(35:08) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Don Lemon looks really bad, Charlie Kirk and Glenn Beck are really dumb, and Travis Tritt will show those LGBTQ-friendly Bud Light people — he won’t let them give him any more free beer! [This part got cut off.] C-BLOCK (42:50) THINGS I PROMISED TO TELL [sic.]: I met my first boss Sam Rosen and future Disney chairman Bob Iger on the SAME day. When I had to write my last college English paper about an interesting character I had just met — I didn’t choose Iger.

That’s all the damage for now. Good morning, good afternoon, good night, and good luck.

EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY
