Three things happened at the disaster of what was called a "debate" last Thursday. 1. Biden was terrible. 2. Trump unleashed an avalanche of bullshit "the likes of which we've never seen". 3. CNN crashed and burned while Jake Tapper and Dana Bash ended their careers for all intents and purposes. What now? We discuss. Minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.co…

No way around it. Last night was a fiasco. A disgusting and incompetent and lie-filled performance by Trump should have been destroyed by his debate opponent and the moderators. Instead, we are now faced with the fact that Biden is not up to the task and must be replaced immediately. CNN has also failed again in not addressing the avalanche of bull…

Gotta love Louisiana. Thanks to their Governor signing into law there a mandate for all schools, public and private, to post the Ten Commandments in classrooms, Trump has had to deal with the issue. And Trump being Trump, went all in on the idea in front of the Faith and Freedom Conference. Now, let's take a look at those Ten Commandments and just …

The past week featured a convicted felon with dozens of still pending charges sweep into town, where they threw a mob-style welcome home party for him. This leads to lots of questions. Associating with known criminals is disqualifying for just about any job in the country, so why do we accept that these weak examples of leaders are worthy of our mo…

While we endure the period between verdict and sentence, and the GOP is out twisting itself into knots in defense of the convicted felon, Trump has some time on his hands to get back in front of microphones at rally's and interviews. And being Trump, he's making a fool of himself. We brought the receipts. minyard.minyard@gmail.com Music by David Ho…

Between now and July 11th, Judge Juan Merchan will be deciding what to do with convicted felon Donald Trump. We will hear daily predictions of "no incarceration", "home confinement", "probation", "community service" and "prison time". One thing is certain, Merchan's decision will cause half of our political populace to lose their shit. MAGA is alre…

If the big news networks can do it, why can't we? Trump goes down! minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.comDi Ken & Rick Minyard

General consensus is that if a verdict comes down this week, it's bad news for Trump. Here's hoping for a lightning fast verdict! Minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.com Music by David HortonDi Ken & Rick Minyard

OK, so now the future of the country, no, the world rests in the hands of a dozen New Yorkers, and then hopefully a Judge who will impose an appropriate sentence to the criminal. And we wait... minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.com Music by David HortonDi Ken & Rick Minyard

Ken and Rick discuss the highlights of the past week, and imagine different scenarios pertaining to the elections this year. Either way, the coming holiday season is going to be...different. minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.com Music by David HortonDi Ken & Rick Minyard

So Ken is back from his planned month-long road trip...after a week...? He'll provide a full explanation. We get all caught up on what has happened over the past two weeks in the world at large, and in Trump world of course. Minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.com Music by David HortonDi Ken & Rick Minyard

Ken is traveling for the next several weeks, and is sending us reports from the road. We follow his early progress in this episode, while discussing the much anticipated start to the first of many criminal trials of Donald Trump. Minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.com Music by David HortonDi Ken & Rick Minyard

Ken and Rick have decidedly differing views on how AG Merrick Garland has handled the Trump investigation. We debate. We also explore how Evangelical Christians have destroyed their credibility with their slavish devotion to Trump. Lawrence O'Donnell had a monologue for the ages this past week in anticipation of the trial starting in Manhattan, whi…

Last week, we explored the great American Tradition of Pitch Men, and made the argument that Trump is the greatest of all time. His grift has gotten him to the highest office in the land and convinced 70 million of our fellow voters to be convinced that he's the one to save us. Well, in this episode, we feature one more that certainly should have b…

Dating back 200 years or more, with the 'Snake Oil Salesmen', and others hawking their wares door-to-door or at County Fairs or boardwalks, America enjoys a long tradition of pitch men. We explore some of the best in the past 40 years or so, and ask where the line is between pitch men and grifter. There is no doubt that there is one who stands out …

In a wild several days including Trump obtaining both another delay in one case, and a three week warning before a Jury is set to be seated in another...we share some of the Elon Musk interview with Don Lemon that ultimately got Lemon fired on his first day on the job at the app formerly known as Twitter. Was it the questions about Musk's tolerance…

There is no disputing that America is at a place that we've not been since the 1860's. We really are two separate nations. Our differences appear to be irreconcilable. Therefore, instead of taking up arms and killing our fellow citizens over politics and whether we should convert from a Democratic Republic to an Authoritarian form of government, wh…

Big week. MAGA finally ran out the clock on Nikki Haley with the Super Tuesday results. President Biden blew away the low expectations set by both left and right by delivering a forceful State of the Union address, Eric Swalwell schools MAGA members of congress on the border bill, and Marjorie Taylor Greene told a foreign journalist to fuck off whe…

The election of 2024, and quite probably the future of American democracy comes down to a battle between two grandpas. One, a kindly and beloved man with a loving family and a history of kindness and caring, and the other a career con man who has cheated and lied his way through life, and is threatening to end our system of government. We discuss. …

This week, psychologist Dr John Gartner, formerly of Johns Hopkins University Medical School, sounded the alarm...on Donald Trump. Trump's slurring and inability to sometimes formulate complete sentences appears to be a sign of growing dementia and possible early stages of Alzheimer's. He asserts that Trump is becoming more dangerous by the day. "T…

Aside from another mass shooting at a Super Bowl celebration, a massive, multi-hundreds of millions of dollars judgement against Trump and his spawn, the assassination of the leading opposition figure in Russia by Putin a month before the elections there...did anything of interest happen this week? Minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.com Music by David Ho…

Ken has a unique look at what Joe Biden is going through at 81 years old. He can relate he says. We discuss. Also, we focus on how this election is going to have to be conducted in order to keep Trump out of the White House again. And it isn't going to be pretty. Time to get dirty. Minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.com Music by David Horton…

WE DID IT! We made it through a podcast and only devoted maybe ten minutes to Donald Trump! Instead, we discuss, at length, the most popular celebrity on the planet, and someone who strikes absolute fear into MAGA brains. minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.com Music by David HortonDi Ken & Rick Minyard

That's it! Trump has developed a highly-advanced, very sophisticated way of communicating with his cult...MAGAese! It's probably the greatest, most highly advanced form of communication ever. One that only the true MAGA devotee can fully grasp. For the rest of us, it sounds clownish, ignorant and, well...just plain stupid. But to his cult, it's a c…

The Diseased Brain of Donald Trump was on full display this week for all to see. Yet, it doesn't appear to have any effect on his cultists. We devote this episode to the words that come out of Trumps face and those of some of his supporters and lawyers. minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.com Music by David Horton…

As we see time and again MAGA elected officials and supporters make complete fools of themselves by proudly owning their hypocrisy when it comes to their dear leader, Trae Crowder aka Liberal Redneck, has boiled it down for us. "Trump is awesome, and Biden sucks." It's that simple. The mind of MAGA is no more complicated than that. Today's example …

Joe Biden launched his campaign with what many have been hoping...begging for - a case against Donald Trump that will motivate his voters. It is being compared by some to FDR and JFK. Meanwhile, in Iowa, his opponent by contrast, engaged in a series of demented rants about...pretty much nothing. We contrast the two. minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.com…

Here is the 2023 retrospective in sound. We cover most of the main topics of interest for the past year in our final podcast of the year. Sit back, laugh, cry, shout, enjoy. Minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.com Music by David HortonDi Ken & Rick Minyard

In an example of the dedication that we have...yeah, that's it, dedication...we record this episode on Christmas Day. We highlight the sounds of the past week and illustrate just what the next year might bring. Minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.com Music by David HortonDi Ken & Rick Minyard

As we enter into an election year, and our attention is on the holidays and our daily lives, there are elements aligned with the Right in this country who are promising - out in the open - to kill their enemies if the election doesn't go their way. We had better start paying close attention and prepare ourselves for the inevitable chaos and violenc…

In a week that will be hard to surpass in terms of sheer absurdity, we must stop and really pay attention to what is happening as we enter an election year. We have the MAGA world telling us exactly what they plan to do if they again take control of our government. They aren't hiding their intentions, in fact they are highlighting them. And we'd be…

The smartest man in the world has driven the final stake into the heart of Twitter by telling his advertisers to "Go Fuck Yourselves" when they objected to his anti-semitic Tweets. And Musk doesn't seem to care. Also, we expose Louisiana Senator John Kennedy as a fraud, and wonder if Donald Trump even knows his youngest son. Finally, some thoughts …

Time to stop all of the hand-wringing and pearl-clutching and do what we all know needs to be done with the Orange Menace. We should take the advice of the former head of the Republican National Committee and lock him up. Minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.com Music by David HortonDi Ken & Rick Minyard

M&M Celebrate our 200th Episode by, among other things, declaring Godwin's Law dead. Sure enough, thanks to the Hitler wannabe Donald Trump, invoking the Nazi maniac when discussing Trump is no longer taboo. It is becoming a normal comparison as well as an accurate one. We also review an example of why we justifiably hate politicians and feature wh…

Donald J. Trump's pursuit of dementia continues to accelerate, and yet he continues to step up to the microphone. This week, he rolled out a big celebrity to bring a level of class and intellect to one of his rally's. Also, there was an election this past week, and much more. Minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.com Music by David Horton…

Now we've done it. Ken is PISSED off! After seeing and digesting what Hamas did in Israel on October 7th, a large portion of the country - and world - reacts with...antisemitism? WTF? And why exactly does a large portion of the world hate Jews exactly? Also, we take a moment to consider the difficulty that this conflict poses for MAGA. After all, i…

Mike Johnson. Until a week ago, nobody would have been able to tell you anything about the Congressman from Louisiana. This is what happens when you don't do your due diligence. As Morning Joe tells us, the coup of 2024 is now in progress right before our eyes. We take a deep look at the new speaker. We also discuss another massacre in the U.S., an…

While the Mid-East burns, and the United States Congress devolves into farcical chaos, and Donald Trump tries to remain relevant while his business empire and very liberty is under increasing and imminent threat, President Biden may have had his best week yet. His steady hand, and experience in world affairs is being recognized already as playing a…

The world's collective attention span has predictably moved on from the situation in Central Europe to the situation in Israel and Gaza. We discuss. Also, the shit show that is the Republican Party continues. And Trump tries desperately to keep his face in the news. What a week. minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.com Music by David Horton…

As we record, Israel and Hamas are at war, and the only certainties are that the brunt of the horrors will be suffered by innocents on both sides. We discuss the latest as of this writing. Also, nearly a week after the Pride of Bakersfield, Kevin McCarthy, was ousted in a humiliating fashion, we can't help but pour it on. Oh, and Rick wins the bet …

Polls confirm that a strong majority of Americans want to have the winner of the popular vote named as President. Is this not the very definition of democracy? But it will never happen because it would take amending the Constitution, which Red states will never go along with. Or might it happen? There is something called the National Popular Vote I…

Ignoring the mistakes made in 2016, the American media is again approaching the 2024 election as if it's just another election cycle with the Democratic President facing a Republican challenger. They take horse race polls, report on the results, act as if these are normal times and continue to give Trump a platform to repeat and spread his lies. Le…

In this episode, we feature a Sound-O-Rama Spectacular, with mini-essays on US and world history by renowned historian Donald J. Trump. Professor Trump imparts his vast knowledge of major world events as only he can. We do this as a public service. You're welcome America. minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.com Music by David Horton…

Pillow guy Mike Lindell is being deposed in the Dominion Voting Systems law suit that promises to financially destroy his company, and video of the testimony has been released. Let's just say that Lindell isn't taking it very well. And if you want to call in to complain about his "lumpy pillows" dial 800-308-1299 and share your thoughts. We're sure…

Bill Maher, who still considers himself a liberal, is spending an awful lot of time building a strawman argument against "Wokeism", while then trying to tear it down. His latest assault came with Joe Rogan. We discuss. Also, Fox News host says that there are only two things that would cause a revolt in this country...the removal of televised footba…

Somebody opened the cellar door and dusted off none other than Sarah Palin. And when they pulled the string on her back, she started blabbing about "civil war", and "rising up to take our country back" if people didn't start leaving Donald Trump, or rather P01135809, alone. Meanwhile, on the heels of wanting us to believe that he's 6'3" and 215 lbs…

An interesting question posed by a neighbor: Would the mob have killed Mike Pence if they were to have gotten to him? We discuss. Also, quite possibly the dumbest survey taken by the media. This and more... minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.com Music by David HortonDi Ken & Rick Minyard

As their entire political reason for being has been reduced to fealty to the cult leader, Republicans are now simply cutting to the chase and threatening anyone who disagrees or threatens to hold Donald Trump accountable with death. They aren't even hiding it any longer. Is another violent outcome inevitable? We discuss. Also, is Oppenheimer the be…

With his threat 24 hours after being admonished not to engage in intimidation in the case against him, the Judge has no choice but to revoke his bail and detain him until the trial. Meanwhile, the only Trump family member to come to his aid is poor Eric. Minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.com Music by David Horton…

In the famous words of Barak Obama, "We got him". The third indictment of the criminal president is the big one. The details in the document are about as iron clad as can be. Prepare for anything now, as the MAGA movement gets desperate. We discuss. minyard.minyardpodcast@gmail.com Music by David Horton…
