Happy Monday!
It’s turned wintry, again, so the kids have two extra hours of “Executive Time” this morning. But not us! We’ve got things to catch up on. And, hopefully, Greg Dworkin to help us catch up on them.
We did get a few more presidential candidates over the weekend. And I think we held steady on the number of billionaires who lost control of their naked selfies. So that seems like a pretty good record for the past two days. In the Trump era, that’s an outright snoozer of a news cycle, to be honest. And that’s a good thing. Give me more of those.
One day soon, I’m hoping for an outright boring weekend.
Listen right here at 9:00 AM ET!
PODCAST LISTENERS: There’s a new podcast platform in town, and the big news is: this one pays! RadioPublic pays podcast producers on a CPM basis, for listens on their native app (available for iPhones & Androids), financed by pre- and post-roll ads they insert. Not a bad way to support the show, with somebody else’s money!
So if you’re a podcast listener, please consider downloading the RadioPublic app on your Android or iOS phone. Yes, you can still download directly from their site, or listen to the player embedded here at Daily Kos. But it’s listens in their app that count toward payment.
Nothing changes on our end. It’s still Greg Dworkin, Joan McCarter, and even Armando. Plus also, me. And you! As always, we still want your voice on the air with us. Sit down with your smart phone or other electronic recording device and send us your stories and commentary to share with the audience. There’s no easier way to try your hand at podcasting, without all the hassle!
Of course there’s no substitute for having your support via Patreon, or one-time contributions via Square Cash. (And hey, if you want a cool trick for donating sorta-kinda cost free, get their cash.me app and use this share code to get $5 in your account (plus $5 in mine) when you send your first $5 (to anyone)!
For now, how about one on the house? Here’s what we did last time out, on our previous LIVE show:
For those of you who prefer to listen to KITM in the nude, please, do not send David Waldman pictures in your comments. In fact, maybe you should cut that out altogether. After all, look at Jeff Bezos. The richest guy on earth didn’t keep it in his pants and now even he can’t keep it off the World Wide Web, all due to his, and this, Pecker. David presents a Pecker-packed podcast for your general decomplexification: Jeff decided not to blackmailed by the National Enquirer, and so he wrote a no thank you letter to publisher David Pecker outlining what seems a lot like extortion, and which might have been fed through hacking by a “government entity”. After all, the Saudis do keep a soft place in their pocket for the Trumps, as well as American Media Inc. Ronan Farrow is now among those coming forward, and saying “me too” about additional AMI blackmail attempts. A while back, Eric Trump pledged $20 million for St. Jude Children’s research hospital, but then Dad took the donation box and ran off. In the SOTU, Donald promised to pay it all back with interest, and taxpayer money. TSA screeners found a record number of firearms in carry-on bags in 2018… 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, and 2008. Guns attract crime, but gun stores remain protected, from prosecution, that is. Speaking of prosecution, Paul Erickson, Russian agent Maria Butina’s boyfriend, has been indicted for fraud. The Justice Department opened a probe into Jeffrey Epstein's plea deal, and playacting Attorney General Matt Whitaker avoided a subpoena, today. A pipeline of illegal workers for Trump goes back through the years and walls.
