“480 Minutes” - The 937 - Hello, Dayton!

Sep 26

Questions for members of congress, the Supreme Court, federal judges, & all government officials — where does this madness end? Trump to U.N.: “Your countries are all going to hell.” Also at the U.N.: Trump gave quack medical advice about acetaminophen & couldn’t even read the word off a teleprompter. This is not a new drug, it is the most commonly used pain & fever medication in the U.S. & Europe & has been around since the 1800s. This man is beyond embarrassing & dangerous.

When will this sprint away from truth & justice & reality, this bear-hug embrace of our worst impulses, become sickening enough for you to make it stop. You have all of the moral high ground. You have the power. You have the authority. You have the backing of the vast majority of Americans & the world. Are you really putting your own short-term comfort ahead of the Constitution you swore to protect, ahead of democracy, fiddling despite the coming civil & global wars this is leading to?

You know that eventually this evil will come for you, no matter how deep you bend the knee. Get on it.

I hate to beg but 2025 has been a very down year for donations. From January through August contributions were down untenable 50% from 2024 & so far September has been even worse. Whatever the reason (my surgery/rehab time away, economic turmoil, people not enjoying hearing some uncomfortable truths, too much TedAir™, other), we really need those of you who can to start donating or to perhaps increase your monthly donation. We are not expecting anyone to donate who is not in a financial position to do so, & if your donation level is what you can do now the “increase” suggestion does not apply to you. Anyway, if you can, please help keep us on the air & commercial-free make a (U.S.) tax-deductible donation and/or buying stuff from our merch store, specifically our Objective Reality series, like the BAGeL Radio “Why Protest?” crossbody bag, perfect for those No Kings marches:
