Seen it was radio. I'm Brian Schuk. President Trump won't
give insight on any possible deals he may have in
mind when he meets with Russian President Putin in Alaska tomorrow.
Reports have been rampant regarding Russia Ukraine land swaps. FBI
Director Cash Bettel says forty five arrests were made in Washington,
(00:24):
DC overnight. According to his social media post from the
FBI director, President Trump's increased federal law enforcement presence led
to twenty nine immigration related arrests, as well as sixteen
tied to the violent crime surge. The president is celebrating
the ninetieth anniversary of the Social Security Act. Speaking from
the Oval Office, Trump touted his efforts to protect and
(00:47):
improve the program.

All right, Good evening, ladies and gentlemen from San Bernardino, California,
to the Gulf of Mexico to the beautiful state of Alaska,
from the east coast Washington, d c. Full of troops,
to the California Republic which has gotten rid of the troops,
(07:18):
to the entire world. This is The Reformer. I'm your host,
Alan Bartleman. Welcome to Truth in Radio, Truth in Podcasting Tonight.
The podcast is devoted not only to the truth, but
to the lies of Donald J. Trump and mister Trump.
(07:43):
If you want to sue the Reformer, you just call
up CACAA and to be happy to give you my
home address for service of process. Sue me. Please, let
me get you into a deposition. Let me get you
into a deposition, you lucky loser. Which brings me to
(08:06):
my first book. Tonight, I want to recommend to you
by winners of the Pulitzer Prize, Resputiner and Susan Craig,
the book Lucky Loser. It's available everywhere in your favorite
bookstore or wherever you buy your books now. This book
(08:35):
is meticulously footnoted and Donald J. Trump tried to get
pre publication censorship on this book Lucky Loser, all about
him and his lies, and the courts denied him. And
since the time of the publication of this book, which
(08:58):
was the first edition twenty twenty four. He has not
yet sued Russ Putner or Suzanne Craig or The New
York Times, claiming that any of these statements about him
in here demonstrable lies are in fact false. And so
(09:22):
we'll be going through that tonight. A couple of other books.
I want to recommend to you, those of you who
can read and are willing to put in the time.
One of my heroes in my life was Smedley Butler.
Spedley Butler is an obscure character. He was a United
(09:44):
States Marine during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.
He was a marines marine. He was such a marine
that he's the kind of bravery I think he won
the Congressional Medal of Honor twice. He's the kind of
(10:06):
bravery that they teach marines about in boot camp. Of course,
they exaggerate his story and make him out to be
well a little bit more of the hero than he
actually was. But they do say. One good thing about
him is that the reason that Smedley Butler never became
(10:28):
comment doant of the Marine Corps was because he was
too much of a marine's marine, and the way they
pitch it to us in Marine Corps boot camp as well.
He would have he was promising beer and Broad's in
the barracks if he became comman Doant of the Marine Corps.
(10:50):
That's not quite right. Actually, Smedley Butler wrote a book
called I Was a Gangster for Capitalism. Very small and
short book, but it reveals how he realized, after having
been sent to fight in Cuba in the Spanish American War,
(11:12):
having been sent to the Philippines to fight the Filipinos,
that essentially he was being used by the McKinley administration
as a gangster to extend American lazzi fair capitalism around
the world. Sound familiar. McKinley was the president who defended
(11:37):
upon tariffs. I thought that tariffs were the answer to
our problems. We have learned since that tariffs are not
the answer to our problems if we want to run
an efficient and regular government, which apparently this administration doesn't
want to do at any rate. Gangsters for Capitalism is
(11:59):
an great book for you to read. Another one is
American Midnight by Adam hawk'schild, and American Midnight talks about
the World War One era when we were just coming
out of the McKinley era, yet we were involved in
(12:22):
World War One, the First World War, and the loss
of freedoms that we have. Many of you may have
seen the movie Reds with Robert Redford in the lead,
and it's about an American journalist played by Robert Redford
(12:44):
and an immigrant from Russia, Emma Goldman. Emma Goldman was
quite a radical when she was here in the United States,
and she made so many comments against the United States
per anticipation in World War One that she was actually
arrested under sedition laws and deported for her speech. And
(13:10):
the movie reads tells a very fictionalized, very pretty version
of that. But that's exactly what this Trump administration is
trying to do by silencing who it perceives to be
its enemies. And its enemies are anyone who tells the truth,
such as National Public Radio or Public Broadcasting or CBS, Colbert,
(13:38):
all the major networks, NBC, ABC, CBS, you know they
all have they all tell the truth about Trump. The
only one that Trump believes that his listeners believe is
Fox News. I want to ask you that those of
you who believe in Donald Trump, which is more likely
(14:00):
that everybody in the world has a grudge against Donald J.
Trump and therefore lies about him. Everybody in the world
is a liar except Fox News? Or is it more
likely that Donald J. Trump is a liar and these
(14:21):
networks are telling the truth about him. Think about that
for a minute. You know, every time this guy gets
in a jam, he claims, Oh, well, that's a lie,
that's not true, that's fake news, But he never puts
up to the evidence to show it's fake news. So
(14:42):
now in DC, while he has federal agents running around
chasing a pot smoker and apparently a couple of federal
agents going in with guns drawn into a gay bar
looking for crime, he's distracting from the big question, what
(15:09):
about you and Epstein? Donald tell us about you and Epstein?
What was your relationship? He's doing everything he can to
distract from that. If Washington, d C. Was so crime
ridden and so terrible, why didn't he invade it on
day one? Why does he wait till now, till it's time,
(15:33):
till the Epstein scandal comes up again, right in his face?
And why not just release the Justice Department files? Release
the Justice Department files, unaltered, uncensored, unredacted. Let's see if
(15:53):
Donald Trump isn't named by some of the victims in there,
if he's not fine, if he is well, like Dizzy,
Ernest is Lucy, you got some splaining to do. I
think Donald J. Trump has a lot of splaining to
do about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and his relationship
(16:16):
with underage girls. We've heard him make you know, comments
about women before, and you know, you could grab him
by the genitals, do anything he wants. He can get
away with it because he's a big star, and who's
(16:36):
to think that he didn't get away with it. I
think he's got a lot to hide, and that a
lot of people not going to settle for his half
baked explanation. So I invite callers to call in tonight
here to Kseyaa with your questions or comments, and our
(16:59):
listener lines are nine oh nine three eight three eight thousand,
nine nine three eight three nine thousand. If you have
a question or comment or want to learn something about
Donald Trump's lies or whether you want to defend Donald Trump,
give the Reformer a call and let's talk. Uh, let
(17:20):
me put on my earphones here so I can listen
and Eric, apparently we have a caller online online one caller,
go ahead? Please?
Speaker 5 (17:34):
Is that me?
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Uh? Go ahead?
Speaker 14 (17:40):
What does the reform I think is actually Trump's most
dangerous lie? Hmm?
Speaker 4 (17:49):
What's Trump's most dangerous lie?
Speaker 10 (17:52):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Let me throw it to you. Do you have an
opinion of what's what's his most dangerous lies? Let me
think about it a second, because I have several that
come to mind.
Speaker 14 (18:04):
I would say the climate change hope is actually the
most dangerous lie. That there's so many lives to choose them.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Yeah, I agree with you. That's you know, lying that
trying to say that climate change is a hoax is
just absurd, especially in the face of it. You know,
we look around at the growing wildfires in this country
and in Europe, and uh, you know, that's clear evidence
(18:39):
of climate change. We never had fires like this before.
We have the hottest temperatures recorded for the past ten years,
every year rising and rising. So the caller is quite correct.
We've been looking at the evidence of climate change for
(19:00):
a long time, you know. Call her one of the
things that always, you know, impresses me. And I've been
involved in the accident to try and stop climate change
at least since nineteen ninety nine was Sierra Club. But
(19:20):
one of the things that bothers me is that it's
so hard to get the lay person to believe it.
It's kind of like the old story about boiling a frog.
If you put the frog into cold water and you
boil him or her very slowly and raise the temperature
(19:42):
a little bit and a little bit, the frog you'll
just kind of get drowsy and fall asleep and eventually
be boiled to death. But if you were to take
that frog and dump it into boiling hot water in
the first place, why he'd jump right out. Well, the
same is true with climate change. Climate change doesn't change
(20:05):
overnight and become boiling hot. It gets worse and worse
and worse. It comes with fires, it comes with floods.
We have unanticipated, unprecedented floods across the southern and eastern
United States. Now, even in Texas, where the Texas legislature
(20:29):
thinks it's more important to find five more seats for
Donald Trump than it is to protect the little children
who go to the camps along that river that flooded.
They've taken no action whatever to protect the people of
(20:52):
Texas because they're far too busy doing Donald Trump's bidding
a bunch of weak need losers, a bunch of cowards,
a bunch of sink of fans. That's what's in the
Texas legislature. So our governor here in California, by the way,
(21:17):
has said, bring it on. You know you want to
play that game. That's the same game that Donald Trump
played with when he got impeached with the governor of Georgia.
Please just find me three thousand more votes, remember that,
Just find me three thousand more votes, he said. And
(21:40):
that was an impeachable offense because he was trying to
alter the results in Georgia, and the Georgia courts and
the federal courts and even the Trump judges came back
and said there was nothing wrong with the Georgia election.
So Trump is trying to do the same thing with Texas.
(22:03):
Please just find me five more legislators. So you know
they are trying to ignore climate change, ignore the people
of Texas. But come on over to California, y'all, bring y'all,
bring it here. You want to play dirty California, We're
(22:28):
gonna fight back. We're gonna fight fire with fire. We're
not gonna roll over for fascists. And they're fellow travelers.
We're not going to roll over for Vladimir Putin and
the fascist dictatorship of Donald Trump. So bring it on.
(22:48):
You want, you want a jerry Mander, We'll show you
how to jerrymander. We've had fair congressional selections in this
date for the past twenty years. There has never even
been a lawsuit against the Citizens Committee that chooses the
(23:12):
redistricting in California. Do people realize that it is so
fair that by the time it finally gets done by
the Citizens Committee, no Republican objects, no Democrat objects, no
independent objects, no decline to state objects. We have a
(23:36):
fair system. We wish the rest of the states would
adopt the same system, to have a citizen's committee, do
fair redistricting based on community of interest, not based on race,
not based on anything else. We've had a fair system
(23:57):
in California for the past two elections. Are we willing
to throw that over? I am temporarily I'm willing to
throw that over and think that we ought to have
We ought to Jerrymander to stop this fascist takeover. So
(24:17):
I agree with the caller that's that's probably one of
his biggest lives let's go through and have a look
at the book Lucky Loser. Thank you caller UH for
calling in. I hope, I hope that UH answered your question,
maybe expanded a little bit of knowledge for you.
Speaker 14 (24:37):
Well, I'd like to make one more point, certainly, go ahead.
It hasn't been advertised very much that Putin has stated
that he wants the Arctic Ocean to be free of
ice sheets so that he can drive his tankers full
(24:58):
of oil on a shore route than he has to
do now. And I think Trump is accommodating him.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Sure. Yeah, Trump is basically Peutin's girlfriend. You know, he'll
do anything. He'll do anything that Peudin and the North
Korean dictator and any other dictator in the world does,
(25:28):
because those birds of a feather flocked together. It's all
in their same interests. That doesn't excuse that the United
States has been derelict for some time. We've known that,
you know, the the ice formations are melting in the
northern hemisphere, and we should have been about, you know,
(25:50):
getting icebreakers a long time ago. We don't have anywhere
in the United States where you can build an icebreaker,
to my knowledge, we have to order them from overseas.
But yeah, we're way behind. And certainly that's what Putin wants.
But what Putin wants even more is to rebuild his
(26:10):
version of the old Soviet Union. And if he can
do that, he feels like he control could control his
sphere of influence and force those countries around him. And
I think you need to read Ukraine into that. He
(26:31):
thinks he can force them to do his bidding. You know,
Trump is up there. He's going to bring this war criminal,
this indicted war criminal, Putin to the United States. Uh,
luckily he's bringing him to Alaska, not to the White House,
(26:53):
to give this criminal Putine, you know, more prominence. But
Pine indicted for the kidnapping of Ukrainian children. That is
a war crime. The International Community Criminal Court has issued
(27:13):
a warrant for his arrest. So no wonder, Pewtin won't
go to Paris for this talk, No wonder. He won't
go to London for this talk. No wonder. He won't
go to Munich for this talk. No wonder. He won't
go to Rome for this talk. No wonder, he won't
go to Barcelona for this talk. I'm running out of
(27:36):
European cities that come readily to mind, every country in
the world has a warrant out for him except the
United States because Donald Trump is his buddy. So if
you want and nothing's going to get solved at this
so called summit, you know, Taco Trump always chickens out.
(28:05):
He's going to back down again. He's going to back
down from peuden because he has no cards to play.
As Trump puts it, he's on Peudin's side. And you know,
the Ukrainians, President Zelensky is not going to settle unless
(28:28):
he's at the table, and he's certainly not going to
settle for a land swap. It's time for the Russians
to get out of Ukraine, to give back the land
they've taken, to return the children they've kidnapped. And that's
the last thing that he wants to do, is admit
defeat and to allow and whether he likes it or not,
(28:52):
Ukraine is going to become part of NATO and all
these demands that is making. He knows their non starters,
and Trump knows their non starters. What happened to this
big statement? Donald J. Trump all stopped that war in
on day one. Day one, well, day one's getting awful
(29:18):
along Donnie, Hey, fat boy, whyn't you get up off
your fat, rusty dusty and stop this war because you
can't because you're a fascist yourself, because you're trying to
bring us a fascist government. Let's talk about your history,
(29:40):
little Donald. You know, when Donnie was a little boy,
his father expected his older brother to really be the
head of Trump Enterprises, and Donald didn't like that. Donald,
being the younger brother, always then was doing things to
(30:03):
get attention from his father. Apparently his father was very unaffectionate.
The only time you would get appreciation or even anything
approaching affection from Trump's senior was when you made money.
(30:25):
You know, Trump's senior was the kind of hard working
guy developer. Nothing against him. He would actually go out
onto the construction sites and straighten out the stray nails
that he would find there and put him back in
the bin for the construction workers to use. That's how
(30:47):
tight he was with the buck. Well, Donnie inherited that
same tightness, but without the skills of a builder. So
when Donnie was a mean little boy at the table,
one of the reasons he had such hate and disdain
for his older brother was it one night when Donald
(31:09):
was acting up. His older brother took and dumped a
whole bowl of spaghetti over little Donald's head, and the
whole family, including Daddy, laughed at Little Donnie. And that
has eaten at Little Donald. He wanted nothing more than
(31:30):
to get back at his older brother, which he managed
to do when he became trustee of his niece's estate.
And his niece we wondered, you know, did he give
his niece a fair deal in the estate, and did
(31:52):
Donald Trump ever pay his taxes? Well, his niece Mary Trump,
gave up her in tax returns that she had received
discovery from Uncle Donald when she claimed that Uncle Donald
and the aunt, who was then a federal judge were
(32:16):
not following the terms of the trust and were undervaluing
her interest in it. So she discovered his income tax returns,
and those income tax returns were given over to the
people who wrote Lucky Loser. And you could see from
(32:38):
those income tax returns a whole lot about little Donald's lies.
You know. He refused to give up his income tax returns,
claiming that, well, he was under audit, but he would
give him up as soon as the audit was over. Well,
(32:59):
it's been years. We're those income tax returns Donald. So
I made it in here tonight. I have my fact checker,
Max G. Shepherd with me, and Max, do you have
anything to say? There? You go okay. I'd like you
(33:23):
to continue to check the facts with me, Max. And
we have two possibilities for you, uh. One one of
them is let's hear let's hear that cue? Please thank
(33:44):
you Max, or your other possibility we don't get pulled again? Okay? Max?
Are you? Are you ready? Son? Are you ready? Okay?
Let me for those of you at home, Max, come, sit, sit, sit.
(34:09):
Here's some boy. Here's him boy Ah, let's get you
on the Let's get you on the radio, on the podcast.
Here's Max G. Shepherd right here. And he has a
very good nose, as most German shepherds do. He has
a great nose. And he not only not only works
(34:31):
great for me, he can smell bologney a mile away.
So let's ask Max tonight about some of these things.
And lucky loser Gee, where to start? Where? Oh, let's
(34:51):
go to his military school. I love that. Here's a
guy who claims not to be able to be fit
for military service during Vietnam. Remember he said he had
bone spurs, old bone spurs, was unfit for service in Vietnam?
(35:15):
Uh okay, how did he get found unfit? According to
Lucky Loser, a chiropractor who rented space in one of
Donald Trump's father's buildings, wrote him the medical excuse for
(35:36):
bone spurs. You think maybe there's a conflict of interest there,
or maybe he did have bone spurs. You might say,
al and I'd say, well, maybe he did. If he did,
how did he play on the baseball team at his
(36:00):
military academy? At his high school, he claimed he was
one of the star players on his baseball team, which
had a losing record. By the way, he also claimed
that you know he was going to be he had
(36:21):
the ability to be a baseball star. And he even
marched with the troops or the military school in New
York City leading the military academy. More about that in
a second. But suddenly, when it comes time to actually
(36:42):
go into combat and serve your country, why the rest
of us who went in are just suckers and losers.
Because that's how Donald J. Trump has referred to our
military men who fought while he, the big coward, dodged service.
(37:05):
I'm not so sure I would have wanted Donald Trump
in my unit anyway. He's the kind of guy that
you probably would shoot first for cowardice. I'm sure he
never would have cut it in the Marine Corps, but
(37:25):
he might have got a job in a back office
in the Army or the Navy, or the Coastguard, something
like that. But I'm sure glad I never was by
the lucky loser in combat. So what kind of other
(37:48):
lies did Donald Trump tell? Well, you know, he went
to that military academy, and according to the lucky loser,
when it came time to have their photographs taken for
their senior album or whatever it was, donald Trump borrowed
(38:14):
his commanding officers jacket and medals. So the photograph that
Donald J. Trump likes to tout with all his medals
on it aren't his at all. They belonged to the
actual young man high school boy who was the commander
(38:40):
of that unit. But suddenly the person not in command
is leading the parade down Fifth Avenue thanks to Donald
Trump's daddy. So these are some of the lies. And
(39:02):
the biggest lie right now, in my opinion, is the
Epstein lie. Donald Trump is covering up for his involvement
with Epstein in pain for parties with underage girls to
(39:24):
have sex with them. There is no doubt in anybody's
mind that if the investigative report comes out, it will
name Donald Trump. So all of his bologney about well,
(39:46):
let's release the uh, let's release the transcript from the
grand jury is bologney because the grand jury transcript had
nothing to do with Donald Trump, and he knows it.
And a grand jury transcript cannot be released except under
(40:08):
very limited legal conditions. If Donald Trump's so powerful, he
could have that released in a minute, but he doesn't
do it. He doesn't care. The grand Jerry transcript doesn't
name him, but the investigative files. Let's see what's there. Donald,
(40:30):
release the entire file, release the testimony of all the
witnesses who talk to the United States Attorney. The latest
on this is that Epstein's co defendant is going to
the Supreme Court with the argument now that she should
(40:50):
not that her conviction ought to be reversed, and some
scholars believe that she has an arguable defense. The issue
is whether or not the United States Attorney for the
District of Florida can bind all the other United States
Attorney's offices by his promise or statement not to prosecute
(41:16):
other crimes. There's a whole lot of ambiguity in the statement.
There's a whole lot of ambiguity in the law, and
we shall see what happens. But if that woman has
her part of her conviction overturned, that doesn't mean that
(41:40):
young women weren't taken in and coerced and raped. That
doesn't mean that the Donald Trump's name isn't in the file.
Why should his own attorney go down and interview this
woman in secret? Isn't there a tape of that to
(42:01):
be released? Why is this co defendant woman sent now
to a minimum security prison where she has it so easy?
I thought Donald Trump was hell on child molesters, Yet
he puts her in a minimum security holding where she
(42:27):
can play tennis and golf. Yeah, Donald, what are you hiding?
What are you hiding? Max? What's your opinion? Is Donald
Donald J? Trump guilty of something? You think? You think?
(42:52):
What do you think of it? Max? Yep? Good boy,
he's smells bs. So all of us need to be
vigilant all the time. You know, there is a fascist
(43:13):
takeover attempted in this country. One of the things we
need to have investigated is the Heritage Society. It is
the most anti American, anti democratic, small D institution I
(43:39):
have ever seen exist in America since the nineteen thirties.
They are openly racist. They are attached clearly to the
white nationalist, white Christian nationalist movement in this country. The
(44:03):
Heritage Society consists of the skeleton of the old John
Birch Society, beefed up by millions of dollars. They now
have the capacity to get away with anything they want.
(44:23):
They put three liars onto the Supreme Court, three liars
who were recommended by anti abortion factions who claimed they
weren't anti abortion. Give me a break. And then when
they testified before Congress, they willfully withheld information. And that
(44:52):
is a form of perjury. They committed perjury to Congress
by saying, pardon me, by saying, gee, I can't give
you an opinion on how I would vote if Roe v.
Wade were challenged, because that might come before me, and
(45:15):
I can't comment on a case that might come before me. Well,
that's all well and good, and then you tell us
at the same time, But I respect precedents. When you
know in your heart that you're withholding that information of
the truth from the American people that you're up there
(45:38):
for one reason and one reason only, and that is
to overturn Roe v. Wade and not replace it with
any other women's right to choose. So the first thing
these fascists did was take away women's rights in this country.
(46:03):
And now that big loser JD. Vance, the one who
claims that he's a combat hero but was not. He
never saw a shot fired in anger, He never heard
a shot fired in anger. He never commanded a combat unit.
So don't claim that you were a grandiose marine there, JD. JD. Vance. Yeah,
(46:31):
hill billy who somehow went to Yale, who somehow joined
the Federalist Society and a heritage society. You no more
hill billy than the man in the moon, which you
are as a social climber who will do anything to
(46:52):
get ahead to please your fascist master Donald Trump. So JD.
Vance and these boys are willing to do anything. Oh
and Vance's latest thing is he wants basically he doesn't
think women ought to have the right to vote. He's
(47:12):
basically gone over to the white Christian nationalist racist movement.
So all you women out there, if you think it's bad,
now that you don't have a right to your bodies.
Just wait till these fascists pass a rule that keeps
you naked and pregnant and chained to the bed. Because
(47:36):
they've already legalized rape and incest in several states, effectively,
that's what they've done. By not prosecuting it, by not
allowing abortions for any reason, they allow incestuous people to
go free. So that's an open invitation to all of
(47:58):
you down there with with no tea having sex with
your daughters and your cousins. That's an open invitation to
you now to just go ahead and do what you
want to do because you can't be prosecuted for it.
And they got to be forced to have the baby,
(48:20):
and y'all won't have to pay no child support. You know,
they started with the women, and these liars are not
going to rest until they attack the rest of us.
Vance now says that women basically should not have the
(48:43):
right to vote. I remember my mom telling me about
the first time she voted. I believe it was nineteen
twenty six, first time she got the right to vote,
She said she cried walking out of that voting booth,
just knowing that she had the ability to decide her
(49:06):
own fate. And by the way, what fate did our
parents and grandparents leave to us here in California. They
left us the finest university system in America, the finest
(49:27):
public university system in the world, The University of California
and the California State Colleges cost our parents and grandparents
a bundle, but they built it into the UC and
state college system today, which has the lowest tuition and
(49:52):
the highest standards of any universities in the world. And
the lucky loser, Trump and JD. Vance and the Heritage
Society want to tear that down. They want to reverse
(50:15):
all the advances we've made and go back to some
fantasy world where tariffs supported the United States. That's just absurd.
If you take all the tariffs that they propose, it
(50:35):
still leaves multi trillion dollar loss in paying America's bills.
And where are they going to get that. They're going
to get that with tax cuts for the billionaires and
stealing our services from regular people. They've already attacked Medicare,
(51:02):
are Medicaid pardon me, They're going to attack Medicare, have
no doubt about it. They've attacked the VA. Already veterans
are reporting that they're not able to get appointments at
the VA. Yet Donald Trump says he loves veterans. He
doesn't love veterans. He has great disdain for anybody who
(51:24):
served our country. All of this, all of these rants,
all of these threats, tell you what's coming from these people,
And right now, most of it is to cover up
the Epstein scandal. Unless Donald J. Trump releases the entire
(51:53):
investigative file of the Department of Justice, including that from
the state of Florida and any others, he's obstructing justice
and he's doing everything he can now to change the subject,
lying to us about all this crime in DC. You know,
(52:15):
I was in DC a month and a half ago.
I've never felt safer in any town in my life.
There was a cop on every corner. There's bomb sniffing
dogs out in the morning, and I rode public transportation
for much of the time I was there. I take
the bus and the train. Well, I took the train
(52:38):
to get in and out of town. I took the
public bus around DC. I did not feel in the
slightest bit threatened. I was in downtown d C right
there at Congress. There was you know, there was simply
no threat. There were certainly homeless people there right in
(53:03):
front of the former Trump hotel that he ran into
the ground, by the way, there were homeless people sleeping
on the benches out there. I'd come out of the
Waldorf Astoria with my extra cuissant and cup of coffee
(53:24):
that they so kindly gave me for my expensive breakfast,
which I enjoyed, and I'd give it to a homeless
guy laying on the bench right outside the Waldorf Astoria.
Now that's about five blocks from the Capitol, five long
(53:47):
blocks and just a few blocks from the White House.
Why didn't you clean it up then, Donald, if it
was such an emergency. And what are you going to
do with this homeless sky Donald? You're gonna put him
in Uh, You're gonna put him in jail for what?
(54:08):
For being homeless? I doubt it? So, Max. What's your
overall opinion of Donald Donald Trump tonight? And are you
(54:35):
gonna be fooled again? Max? Who you're gonna vote for
next time? You're gonna vote Democratic? Tell me you won't
be fooled again? Max? Ye, good boy, good boy? Okay, Well,
(54:56):
I hope somebody has learned something from my rant. I
have a couple more minutes here tonight, but I want
to encourage everybody to get involved in this fight. If
you haven't already seen the film God and Country, shame
on you. It's streaming for free online. All you gotta
(55:24):
do is take your little phone or your little laptop
or your little PC at home and Google or Siri.
If you're and of the Apple persuasion God and Country,
(55:49):
put God and Country into your search engine. It's gonna
come up. It's free. If you have Prime, you can
go to Amazon Prime and you can find God and
Country on there. It runs about an hour and twenty minutes,
(56:14):
and it tells you how the religious right, how the
white nationalist movement, which is related to the John Birt
Society and the Heritage Society, is supporting Donald Trump because
they think that the guy is going to bring on armageddon,
(56:39):
and that at Armageddon, they, as Christians are going to
be miraculously lifted up to be Jesus while the rest
of us are destroyed. You know, I want to tell
those losers, you need to look around to see how
(57:00):
many times the end of the world has been prophesied
before you've been brainwashed. Whether you're over there at that
phony white nationalist church in Riverside supporting your fascist candidate
for governor, or whether you're at one of the other
(57:25):
many churches around this country that seem to have been
fooled into thinking that Donald J. Trump is a messenger
of Jesus. You got it wrong. You've been brainwashed, You've
been lied to. You know. I'm a white Christian and
(57:47):
I can tell you that the church I go to
does not envision a war like Jesus. My Jesus came
here as prince of peace. When you ask my Jesus,
what's the important what's the most important thing? He said,
(58:10):
love thy neighbor as thyself, not hate thy neighbor. Love
thy neighbor as thyself. And the Apostle asked him, but
who's my neighbor?
Speaker 1 (58:19):
Lord?
Speaker 4 (58:21):
And Christ told him the parable of the Good Samaritan.
As you all know, the Samaritans and the Jews were
historic enemies. And the Samaritan came upon a Jew on
the road who had been set upon by bandits, And
notwithstanding that the two of them were their tribes were enemies,
(58:46):
he took pity on this Jew as a human being.
And as the Bible teaches us, he bound up his wounds,
and he gave him shelter, and he asked nothing in return.
That's the message of Jesus Christ. Not a war like Jesus,
(59:07):
not a tough Jesus. It walks around with a nine
millimeter That's not it. So, ladies and gentlemen, I want
to leave you with that thought tonight that we're in
grave danger and if we don't get on the ball
and start to contribute to this anti fascist movement, we're
(59:28):
going to lose this country. So read for yourselves, do
what's necessary. And I want to thank the paltry sponsorship
that we've had from some Democrats, and also look for others.
And so this is Alan Bartleman, your host for The Reformer,
(59:52):
thanking you for being with us, and look forward to
seeing you again next week when we'll have a guest
host and bringing you The Reformer and the Democratic Response,
Oh Bad Down, NBC News and
Seen it was radio. I'm Brian Schuk. President Trump won't
give insight on any possible deals he may have in
mind when he meets with Russian President Putin in Alaska tomorrow.
Reports have been rampant regarding Russia Ukraine land swaps. FBI
Director Cash Bettel says forty five arrests were made in Washington,
(00:24):
DC overnight. According to his social media post from the
FBI director, President Trump's increased federal law enforcement presence led
to twenty nine immigration related arrests, as well as sixteen
tied to the violent crime surge. The president is celebrating
the ninetieth anniversary of the Social Security Act. Speaking from
the Oval Office, Trump touted his efforts to protect and
(00:47):
improve the program.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
In the campaign, I made a sacred pledge to our
seniors that I would always protect Social Security, and under
this administration, with keeping that promise and strengthening social Security.

All right, Good evening, ladies and gentlemen from San Bernardino, California,
to the Gulf of Mexico to the beautiful state of Alaska,
from the east coast Washington, d c. Full of troops,
to the California Republic which has gotten rid of the troops,
(07:18):
to the entire world. This is The Reformer. I'm your host,
Alan Bartleman. Welcome to Truth in Radio, Truth in Podcasting Tonight.
The podcast is devoted not only to the truth, but
to the lies of Donald J. Trump and mister Trump.
(07:43):
If you want to sue the Reformer, you just call
up CACAA and to be happy to give you my
home address for service of process. Sue me. Please, let
me get you into a deposition. Let me get you
into a deposition, you lucky loser. Which brings me to
(08:06):
my first book. Tonight, I want to recommend to you
by winners of the Pulitzer Prize, Resputiner and Susan Craig,
the book Lucky Loser. It's available everywhere in your favorite
bookstore or wherever you buy your books now. This book
(08:35):
is meticulously footnoted and Donald J. Trump tried to get
pre publication censorship on this book Lucky Loser, all about
him and his lies, and the courts denied him. And
since the time of the publication of this book, which
(08:58):
was the first edition twenty twenty four. He has not
yet sued Russ Putner or Suzanne Craig or The New
York Times, claiming that any of these statements about him
in here demonstrable lies are in fact false. And so
(09:22):
we'll be going through that tonight. A couple of other books.
I want to recommend to you, those of you who
can read and are willing to put in the time.
One of my heroes in my life was Smedley Butler.
Spedley Butler is an obscure character. He was a United
(09:44):
States Marine during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.
He was a marines marine. He was such a marine
that he's the kind of bravery I think he won
the Congressional Medal of Honor twice. He's the kind of
(10:06):
bravery that they teach marines about in boot camp. Of course,
they exaggerate his story and make him out to be
well a little bit more of the hero than he
actually was. But they do say. One good thing about
him is that the reason that Smedley Butler never became
(10:28):
comment doant of the Marine Corps was because he was
too much of a marine's marine, and the way they
pitch it to us in Marine Corps boot camp as well.
He would have he was promising beer and Broad's in
the barracks if he became comman Doant of the Marine Corps.
(10:50):
That's not quite right. Actually, Smedley Butler wrote a book
called I Was a Gangster for Capitalism. Very small and
short book, but it reveals how he realized, after having
been sent to fight in Cuba in the Spanish American War,
(11:12):
having been sent to the Philippines to fight the Filipinos,
that essentially he was being used by the McKinley administration
as a gangster to extend American lazzi fair capitalism around
the world. Sound familiar. McKinley was the president who defended
(11:37):
upon tariffs. I thought that tariffs were the answer to
our problems. We have learned since that tariffs are not
the answer to our problems if we want to run
an efficient and regular government, which apparently this administration doesn't
want to do at any rate. Gangsters for Capitalism is
(11:59):
an great book for you to read. Another one is
American Midnight by Adam hawk'schild, and American Midnight talks about
the World War One era when we were just coming
out of the McKinley era, yet we were involved in
(12:22):
World War One, the First World War, and the loss
of freedoms that we have. Many of you may have
seen the movie Reds with Robert Redford in the lead,
and it's about an American journalist played by Robert Redford
(12:44):
and an immigrant from Russia, Emma Goldman. Emma Goldman was
quite a radical when she was here in the United States,
and she made so many comments against the United States
per anticipation in World War One that she was actually
arrested under sedition laws and deported for her speech. And
(13:10):
the movie reads tells a very fictionalized, very pretty version
of that. But that's exactly what this Trump administration is
trying to do by silencing who it perceives to be
its enemies. And its enemies are anyone who tells the truth,
such as National Public Radio or Public Broadcasting or CBS, Colbert,
(13:38):
all the major networks, NBC, ABC, CBS, you know they
all have they all tell the truth about Trump. The
only one that Trump believes that his listeners believe is
Fox News. I want to ask you that those of
you who believe in Donald Trump, which is more likely
(14:00):
that everybody in the world has a grudge against Donald J.
Trump and therefore lies about him. Everybody in the world
is a liar except Fox News? Or is it more
likely that Donald J. Trump is a liar and these
(14:21):
networks are telling the truth about him. Think about that
for a minute. You know, every time this guy gets
in a jam, he claims, Oh, well, that's a lie,
that's not true, that's fake news, But he never puts
up to the evidence to show it's fake news. So
(14:42):
now in DC, while he has federal agents running around
chasing a pot smoker and apparently a couple of federal
agents going in with guns drawn into a gay bar
looking for crime, he's distracting from the big question, what
(15:09):
about you and Epstein? Donald tell us about you and Epstein?
What was your relationship? He's doing everything he can to
distract from that. If Washington, d C. Was so crime
ridden and so terrible, why didn't he invade it on
day one? Why does he wait till now, till it's time,
(15:33):
till the Epstein scandal comes up again, right in his face?
And why not just release the Justice Department files? Release
the Justice Department files, unaltered, uncensored, unredacted. Let's see if
(15:53):
Donald Trump isn't named by some of the victims in there,
if he's not fine, if he is well, like Dizzy,
Ernest is Lucy, you got some splaining to do. I
think Donald J. Trump has a lot of splaining to
do about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and his relationship
(16:16):
with underage girls. We've heard him make you know, comments
about women before, and you know, you could grab him
by the genitals, do anything he wants. He can get
away with it because he's a big star, and who's
(16:36):
to think that he didn't get away with it. I
think he's got a lot to hide, and that a
lot of people not going to settle for his half
baked explanation. So I invite callers to call in tonight
here to Kseyaa with your questions or comments, and our
(16:59):
listener lines are nine oh nine three eight three eight thousand,
nine nine three eight three nine thousand. If you have
a question or comment or want to learn something about
Donald Trump's lies or whether you want to defend Donald Trump,
give the Reformer a call and let's talk. Uh, let
(17:20):
me put on my earphones here so I can listen
and Eric, apparently we have a caller online online one caller,
go ahead? Please?
Speaker 5 (17:34):
Is that me?
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Uh? Go ahead?
Speaker 14 (17:40):
What does the reform I think is actually Trump's most
dangerous lie? Hmm?
Speaker 4 (17:49):
What's Trump's most dangerous lie?
Speaker 10 (17:52):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Let me throw it to you. Do you have an
opinion of what's what's his most dangerous lies? Let me
think about it a second, because I have several that
come to mind.
Speaker 14 (18:04):
I would say the climate change hope is actually the
most dangerous lie. That there's so many lives to choose them.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Yeah, I agree with you. That's you know, lying that
trying to say that climate change is a hoax is
just absurd, especially in the face of it. You know,
we look around at the growing wildfires in this country
and in Europe, and uh, you know, that's clear evidence
(18:39):
of climate change. We never had fires like this before.
We have the hottest temperatures recorded for the past ten years,
every year rising and rising. So the caller is quite correct.
We've been looking at the evidence of climate change for
(19:00):
a long time, you know. Call her one of the
things that always, you know, impresses me. And I've been
involved in the accident to try and stop climate change
at least since nineteen ninety nine was Sierra Club. But
(19:20):
one of the things that bothers me is that it's
so hard to get the lay person to believe it.
It's kind of like the old story about boiling a frog.
If you put the frog into cold water and you
boil him or her very slowly and raise the temperature
(19:42):
a little bit and a little bit, the frog you'll
just kind of get drowsy and fall asleep and eventually
be boiled to death. But if you were to take
that frog and dump it into boiling hot water in
the first place, why he'd jump right out. Well, the
same is true with climate change. Climate change doesn't change
(20:05):
overnight and become boiling hot. It gets worse and worse
and worse. It comes with fires, it comes with floods.
We have unanticipated, unprecedented floods across the southern and eastern
United States. Now, even in Texas, where the Texas legislature
(20:29):
thinks it's more important to find five more seats for
Donald Trump than it is to protect the little children
who go to the camps along that river that flooded.
They've taken no action whatever to protect the people of
(20:52):
Texas because they're far too busy doing Donald Trump's bidding
a bunch of weak need losers, a bunch of cowards,
a bunch of sink of fans. That's what's in the
Texas legislature. So our governor here in California, by the way,
(21:17):
has said, bring it on. You know you want to
play that game. That's the same game that Donald Trump
played with when he got impeached with the governor of Georgia.
Please just find me three thousand more votes, remember that,
Just find me three thousand more votes, he said. And
(21:40):
that was an impeachable offense because he was trying to
alter the results in Georgia, and the Georgia courts and
the federal courts and even the Trump judges came back
and said there was nothing wrong with the Georgia election.
So Trump is trying to do the same thing with Texas.
(22:03):
Please just find me five more legislators. So you know
they are trying to ignore climate change, ignore the people
of Texas. But come on over to California, y'all, bring y'all,
bring it here. You want to play dirty California, We're
(22:28):
gonna fight back. We're gonna fight fire with fire. We're
not gonna roll over for fascists. And they're fellow travelers.
We're not going to roll over for Vladimir Putin and
the fascist dictatorship of Donald Trump. So bring it on.
(22:48):
You want, you want a jerry Mander, We'll show you
how to jerrymander. We've had fair congressional selections in this
date for the past twenty years. There has never even
been a lawsuit against the Citizens Committee that chooses the
(23:12):
redistricting in California. Do people realize that it is so
fair that by the time it finally gets done by
the Citizens Committee, no Republican objects, no Democrat objects, no
independent objects, no decline to state objects. We have a
(23:36):
fair system. We wish the rest of the states would
adopt the same system, to have a citizen's committee, do
fair redistricting based on community of interest, not based on race,
not based on anything else. We've had a fair system
(23:57):
in California for the past two elections. Are we willing
to throw that over? I am temporarily I'm willing to
throw that over and think that we ought to have
We ought to Jerrymander to stop this fascist takeover. So
(24:17):
I agree with the caller that's that's probably one of
his biggest lives let's go through and have a look
at the book Lucky Loser. Thank you caller UH for
calling in. I hope, I hope that UH answered your question,
maybe expanded a little bit of knowledge for you.
Speaker 14 (24:37):
Well, I'd like to make one more point, certainly, go ahead.
It hasn't been advertised very much that Putin has stated
that he wants the Arctic Ocean to be free of
ice sheets so that he can drive his tankers full
(24:58):
of oil on a shore route than he has to
do now. And I think Trump is accommodating him.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Sure. Yeah, Trump is basically Peutin's girlfriend. You know, he'll
do anything. He'll do anything that Peudin and the North
Korean dictator and any other dictator in the world does,
(25:28):
because those birds of a feather flocked together. It's all
in their same interests. That doesn't excuse that the United
States has been derelict for some time. We've known that,
you know, the the ice formations are melting in the
northern hemisphere, and we should have been about, you know,
(25:50):
getting icebreakers a long time ago. We don't have anywhere
in the United States where you can build an icebreaker,
to my knowledge, we have to order them from overseas.
But yeah, we're way behind. And certainly that's what Putin wants.
But what Putin wants even more is to rebuild his
(26:10):
version of the old Soviet Union. And if he can
do that, he feels like he control could control his
sphere of influence and force those countries around him. And
I think you need to read Ukraine into that. He
(26:31):
thinks he can force them to do his bidding. You know,
Trump is up there. He's going to bring this war criminal,
this indicted war criminal, Putin to the United States. Uh,
luckily he's bringing him to Alaska, not to the White House,
(26:53):
to give this criminal Putine, you know, more prominence. But
Pine indicted for the kidnapping of Ukrainian children. That is
a war crime. The International Community Criminal Court has issued
(27:13):
a warrant for his arrest. So no wonder, Pewtin won't
go to Paris for this talk, No wonder. He won't
go to London for this talk. No wonder. He won't
go to Munich for this talk. No wonder. He won't
go to Rome for this talk. No wonder, he won't
go to Barcelona for this talk. I'm running out of
(27:36):
European cities that come readily to mind, every country in
the world has a warrant out for him except the
United States because Donald Trump is his buddy. So if
you want and nothing's going to get solved at this
so called summit, you know, Taco Trump always chickens out.
(28:05):
He's going to back down again. He's going to back
down from peuden because he has no cards to play.
As Trump puts it, he's on Peudin's side. And you know,
the Ukrainians, President Zelensky is not going to settle unless
(28:28):
he's at the table, and he's certainly not going to
settle for a land swap. It's time for the Russians
to get out of Ukraine, to give back the land
they've taken, to return the children they've kidnapped. And that's
the last thing that he wants to do, is admit
defeat and to allow and whether he likes it or not,
(28:52):
Ukraine is going to become part of NATO and all
these demands that is making. He knows their non starters,
and Trump knows their non starters. What happened to this
big statement? Donald J. Trump all stopped that war in
on day one. Day one, well, day one's getting awful
(29:18):
along Donnie, Hey, fat boy, whyn't you get up off
your fat, rusty dusty and stop this war because you
can't because you're a fascist yourself, because you're trying to
bring us a fascist government. Let's talk about your history,
(29:40):
little Donald. You know, when Donnie was a little boy,
his father expected his older brother to really be the
head of Trump Enterprises, and Donald didn't like that. Donald,
being the younger brother, always then was doing things to
(30:03):
get attention from his father. Apparently his father was very unaffectionate.
The only time you would get appreciation or even anything
approaching affection from Trump's senior was when you made money.
(30:25):
You know, Trump's senior was the kind of hard working
guy developer. Nothing against him. He would actually go out
onto the construction sites and straighten out the stray nails
that he would find there and put him back in
the bin for the construction workers to use. That's how
(30:47):
tight he was with the buck. Well, Donnie inherited that
same tightness, but without the skills of a builder. So
when Donnie was a mean little boy at the table,
one of the reasons he had such hate and disdain
for his older brother was it one night when Donald
(31:09):
was acting up. His older brother took and dumped a
whole bowl of spaghetti over little Donald's head, and the
whole family, including Daddy, laughed at Little Donnie. And that
has eaten at Little Donald. He wanted nothing more than
(31:30):
to get back at his older brother, which he managed
to do when he became trustee of his niece's estate.
And his niece we wondered, you know, did he give
his niece a fair deal in the estate, and did
(31:52):
Donald Trump ever pay his taxes? Well, his niece Mary Trump,
gave up her in tax returns that she had received
discovery from Uncle Donald when she claimed that Uncle Donald
and the aunt, who was then a federal judge were
(32:16):
not following the terms of the trust and were undervaluing
her interest in it. So she discovered his income tax returns,
and those income tax returns were given over to the
people who wrote Lucky Loser. And you could see from
(32:38):
those income tax returns a whole lot about little Donald's lies.
You know. He refused to give up his income tax returns,
claiming that, well, he was under audit, but he would
give him up as soon as the audit was over. Well,
(32:59):
it's been years. We're those income tax returns Donald. So
I made it in here tonight. I have my fact checker,
Max G. Shepherd with me, and Max, do you have
anything to say? There? You go okay. I'd like you
(33:23):
to continue to check the facts with me, Max. And
we have two possibilities for you, uh. One one of
them is let's hear let's hear that cue? Please thank
(33:44):
you Max, or your other possibility we don't get pulled again? Okay? Max?
Are you? Are you ready? Son? Are you ready? Okay?
Let me for those of you at home, Max, come, sit, sit, sit.
(34:09):
Here's some boy. Here's him boy Ah, let's get you
on the Let's get you on the radio, on the podcast.
Here's Max G. Shepherd right here. And he has a
very good nose, as most German shepherds do. He has
a great nose. And he not only not only works
(34:31):
great for me, he can smell bologney a mile away.
So let's ask Max tonight about some of these things.
And lucky loser Gee, where to start? Where? Oh, let's
(34:51):
go to his military school. I love that. Here's a
guy who claims not to be able to be fit
for military service during Vietnam. Remember he said he had
bone spurs, old bone spurs, was unfit for service in Vietnam?
(35:15):
Uh okay, how did he get found unfit? According to
Lucky Loser, a chiropractor who rented space in one of
Donald Trump's father's buildings, wrote him the medical excuse for
(35:36):
bone spurs. You think maybe there's a conflict of interest there,
or maybe he did have bone spurs. You might say,
al and I'd say, well, maybe he did. If he did,
how did he play on the baseball team at his
(36:00):
military academy? At his high school, he claimed he was
one of the star players on his baseball team, which
had a losing record. By the way, he also claimed
that you know he was going to be he had
(36:21):
the ability to be a baseball star. And he even
marched with the troops or the military school in New
York City leading the military academy. More about that in
a second. But suddenly, when it comes time to actually
(36:42):
go into combat and serve your country, why the rest
of us who went in are just suckers and losers.
Because that's how Donald J. Trump has referred to our
military men who fought while he, the big coward, dodged service.
(37:05):
I'm not so sure I would have wanted Donald Trump
in my unit anyway. He's the kind of guy that
you probably would shoot first for cowardice. I'm sure he
never would have cut it in the Marine Corps, but
(37:25):
he might have got a job in a back office
in the Army or the Navy, or the Coastguard, something
like that. But I'm sure glad I never was by
the lucky loser in combat. So what kind of other
(37:48):
lies did Donald Trump tell? Well, you know, he went
to that military academy, and according to the lucky loser,
when it came time to have their photographs taken for
their senior album or whatever it was, donald Trump borrowed
(38:14):
his commanding officers jacket and medals. So the photograph that
Donald J. Trump likes to tout with all his medals
on it aren't his at all. They belonged to the
actual young man high school boy who was the commander
(38:40):
of that unit. But suddenly the person not in command
is leading the parade down Fifth Avenue thanks to Donald
Trump's daddy. So these are some of the lies. And
(39:02):
the biggest lie right now, in my opinion, is the
Epstein lie. Donald Trump is covering up for his involvement
with Epstein in pain for parties with underage girls to
(39:24):
have sex with them. There is no doubt in anybody's
mind that if the investigative report comes out, it will
name Donald Trump. So all of his bologney about well,
(39:46):
let's release the uh, let's release the transcript from the
grand jury is bologney because the grand jury transcript had
nothing to do with Donald Trump, and he knows it.
And a grand jury transcript cannot be released except under
(40:08):
very limited legal conditions. If Donald Trump's so powerful, he
could have that released in a minute, but he doesn't
do it. He doesn't care. The grand Jerry transcript doesn't
name him, but the investigative files. Let's see what's there. Donald,
(40:30):
release the entire file, release the testimony of all the
witnesses who talk to the United States Attorney. The latest
on this is that Epstein's co defendant is going to
the Supreme Court with the argument now that she should
(40:50):
not that her conviction ought to be reversed, and some
scholars believe that she has an arguable defense. The issue
is whether or not the United States Attorney for the
District of Florida can bind all the other United States
Attorney's offices by his promise or statement not to prosecute
(41:16):
other crimes. There's a whole lot of ambiguity in the statement.
There's a whole lot of ambiguity in the law, and
we shall see what happens. But if that woman has
her part of her conviction overturned, that doesn't mean that
(41:40):
young women weren't taken in and coerced and raped. That
doesn't mean that the Donald Trump's name isn't in the file.
Why should his own attorney go down and interview this
woman in secret? Isn't there a tape of that to
(42:01):
be released? Why is this co defendant woman sent now
to a minimum security prison where she has it so easy?
I thought Donald Trump was hell on child molesters, Yet
he puts her in a minimum security holding where she
(42:27):
can play tennis and golf. Yeah, Donald, what are you hiding?
What are you hiding? Max? What's your opinion? Is Donald
Donald J? Trump guilty of something? You think? You think?
(42:52):
What do you think of it? Max? Yep? Good boy,
he's smells bs. So all of us need to be
vigilant all the time. You know, there is a fascist
(43:13):
takeover attempted in this country. One of the things we
need to have investigated is the Heritage Society. It is
the most anti American, anti democratic, small D institution I
(43:39):
have ever seen exist in America since the nineteen thirties.
They are openly racist. They are attached clearly to the
white nationalist, white Christian nationalist movement in this country. The
(44:03):
Heritage Society consists of the skeleton of the old John
Birch Society, beefed up by millions of dollars. They now
have the capacity to get away with anything they want.
(44:23):
They put three liars onto the Supreme Court, three liars
who were recommended by anti abortion factions who claimed they
weren't anti abortion. Give me a break. And then when
they testified before Congress, they willfully withheld information. And that
(44:52):
is a form of perjury. They committed perjury to Congress
by saying, pardon me, by saying, gee, I can't give
you an opinion on how I would vote if Roe v.
Wade were challenged, because that might come before me, and
(45:15):
I can't comment on a case that might come before me. Well,
that's all well and good, and then you tell us
at the same time, But I respect precedents. When you
know in your heart that you're withholding that information of
the truth from the American people that you're up there
(45:38):
for one reason and one reason only, and that is
to overturn Roe v. Wade and not replace it with
any other women's right to choose. So the first thing
these fascists did was take away women's rights in this country.
(46:03):
And now that big loser JD. Vance, the one who
claims that he's a combat hero but was not. He
never saw a shot fired in anger, He never heard
a shot fired in anger. He never commanded a combat unit.
So don't claim that you were a grandiose marine there, JD. JD. Vance. Yeah,
(46:31):
hill billy who somehow went to Yale, who somehow joined
the Federalist Society and a heritage society. You no more
hill billy than the man in the moon, which you
are as a social climber who will do anything to
(46:52):
get ahead to please your fascist master Donald Trump. So JD.
Vance and these boys are willing to do anything. Oh
and Vance's latest thing is he wants basically he doesn't
think women ought to have the right to vote. He's
(47:12):
basically gone over to the white Christian nationalist racist movement.
So all you women out there, if you think it's bad,
now that you don't have a right to your bodies.
Just wait till these fascists pass a rule that keeps
you naked and pregnant and chained to the bed. Because
(47:36):
they've already legalized rape and incest in several states, effectively,
that's what they've done. By not prosecuting it, by not
allowing abortions for any reason, they allow incestuous people to
go free. So that's an open invitation to all of
(47:58):
you down there with with no tea having sex with
your daughters and your cousins. That's an open invitation to
you now to just go ahead and do what you
want to do because you can't be prosecuted for it.
And they got to be forced to have the baby,
(48:20):
and y'all won't have to pay no child support. You know,
they started with the women, and these liars are not
going to rest until they attack the rest of us.
Vance now says that women basically should not have the
(48:43):
right to vote. I remember my mom telling me about
the first time she voted. I believe it was nineteen
twenty six, first time she got the right to vote,
She said she cried walking out of that voting booth,
just knowing that she had the ability to decide her
(49:06):
own fate. And by the way, what fate did our
parents and grandparents leave to us here in California. They
left us the finest university system in America, the finest
(49:27):
public university system in the world, The University of California
and the California State Colleges cost our parents and grandparents
a bundle, but they built it into the UC and
state college system today, which has the lowest tuition and
(49:52):
the highest standards of any universities in the world. And
the lucky loser, Trump and JD. Vance and the Heritage
Society want to tear that down. They want to reverse
(50:15):
all the advances we've made and go back to some
fantasy world where tariffs supported the United States. That's just absurd.
If you take all the tariffs that they propose, it
(50:35):
still leaves multi trillion dollar loss in paying America's bills.
And where are they going to get that. They're going
to get that with tax cuts for the billionaires and
stealing our services from regular people. They've already attacked Medicare,
(51:02):
are Medicaid pardon me, They're going to attack Medicare, have
no doubt about it. They've attacked the VA. Already veterans
are reporting that they're not able to get appointments at
the VA. Yet Donald Trump says he loves veterans. He
doesn't love veterans. He has great disdain for anybody who
(51:24):
served our country. All of this, all of these rants,
all of these threats, tell you what's coming from these people,
And right now, most of it is to cover up
the Epstein scandal. Unless Donald J. Trump releases the entire
(51:53):
investigative file of the Department of Justice, including that from
the state of Florida and any others, he's obstructing justice
and he's doing everything he can now to change the subject,
lying to us about all this crime in DC. You know,
(52:15):
I was in DC a month and a half ago.
I've never felt safer in any town in my life.
There was a cop on every corner. There's bomb sniffing
dogs out in the morning, and I rode public transportation
for much of the time I was there. I take
the bus and the train. Well, I took the train
(52:38):
to get in and out of town. I took the
public bus around DC. I did not feel in the
slightest bit threatened. I was in downtown d C right
there at Congress. There was you know, there was simply
no threat. There were certainly homeless people there right in
(53:03):
front of the former Trump hotel that he ran into
the ground, by the way, there were homeless people sleeping
on the benches out there. I'd come out of the
Waldorf Astoria with my extra cuissant and cup of coffee
(53:24):
that they so kindly gave me for my expensive breakfast,
which I enjoyed, and I'd give it to a homeless
guy laying on the bench right outside the Waldorf Astoria.
Now that's about five blocks from the Capitol, five long
(53:47):
blocks and just a few blocks from the White House.
Why didn't you clean it up then, Donald, if it
was such an emergency. And what are you going to
do with this homeless sky Donald? You're gonna put him
in Uh, You're gonna put him in jail for what?
(54:08):
For being homeless? I doubt it? So, Max. What's your
overall opinion of Donald Donald Trump tonight? And are you
(54:35):
gonna be fooled again? Max? Who you're gonna vote for
next time? You're gonna vote Democratic? Tell me you won't
be fooled again? Max? Ye, good boy, good boy? Okay, Well,
(54:56):
I hope somebody has learned something from my rant. I
have a couple more minutes here tonight, but I want
to encourage everybody to get involved in this fight. If
you haven't already seen the film God and Country, shame
on you. It's streaming for free online. All you gotta
(55:24):
do is take your little phone or your little laptop
or your little PC at home and Google or Siri.
If you're and of the Apple persuasion God and Country,
(55:49):
put God and Country into your search engine. It's gonna
come up. It's free. If you have Prime, you can
go to Amazon Prime and you can find God and
Country on there. It runs about an hour and twenty minutes,
(56:14):
and it tells you how the religious right, how the
white nationalist movement, which is related to the John Birt
Society and the Heritage Society, is supporting Donald Trump because
they think that the guy is going to bring on armageddon,
(56:39):
and that at Armageddon, they, as Christians are going to
be miraculously lifted up to be Jesus while the rest
of us are destroyed. You know, I want to tell
those losers, you need to look around to see how
(57:00):
many times the end of the world has been prophesied
before you've been brainwashed. Whether you're over there at that
phony white nationalist church in Riverside supporting your fascist candidate
for governor, or whether you're at one of the other
(57:25):
many churches around this country that seem to have been
fooled into thinking that Donald J. Trump is a messenger
of Jesus. You got it wrong. You've been brainwashed, You've
been lied to. You know. I'm a white Christian and
(57:47):
I can tell you that the church I go to
does not envision a war like Jesus. My Jesus came
here as prince of peace. When you ask my Jesus,
what's the important what's the most important thing? He said,
(58:10):
love thy neighbor as thyself, not hate thy neighbor. Love
thy neighbor as thyself. And the Apostle asked him, but
who's my neighbor?
Speaker 1 (58:19):
Lord?
Speaker 4 (58:21):
And Christ told him the parable of the Good Samaritan.
As you all know, the Samaritans and the Jews were
historic enemies. And the Samaritan came upon a Jew on
the road who had been set upon by bandits, And
notwithstanding that the two of them were their tribes were enemies,
(58:46):
he took pity on this Jew as a human being.
And as the Bible teaches us, he bound up his wounds,
and he gave him shelter, and he asked nothing in return.
That's the message of Jesus Christ. Not a war like Jesus,
(59:07):
not a tough Jesus. It walks around with a nine
millimeter That's not it. So, ladies and gentlemen, I want
to leave you with that thought tonight that we're in
grave danger and if we don't get on the ball
and start to contribute to this anti fascist movement, we're
(59:28):
going to lose this country. So read for yourselves, do
what's necessary. And I want to thank the paltry sponsorship
that we've had from some Democrats, and also look for others.
And so this is Alan Bartleman, your host for The Reformer,
(59:52):
thanking you for being with us, and look forward to
seeing you again next week when we'll have a guest
host and bringing you The Reformer and the Democratic Response,
