Radio Public|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) The Mighty KITM Worldwide Multiplex has battery backup! Nothing can stop us now! David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are charged up and ready to go: If only John Boehner Republicans were in charge there would be no immigration concerns, mass shootings or racism. If George W. Bush was in charge the world would be a progressive utopia. Ah, but Republicans had that former guy come in and ruin it all, aka “William of N...

Radio Public|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) How about politicide? No, not “political genocide”… but literal “political suicide” —  an opposing political party united in an actual deadly suicide pact of their own choosing. Not the entire population of the party, mind you, but precisely focused, so that the more entrenched their ideology, the tighter they will all grip as they leap off the cliff together... It’s a fantasy, of course, as it would be impossib...

Radio Public|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Happy Tax Day! (Traditional) David Waldman starts off Thursday with a lightning round list of Republicans being Republicans: In Florida, Matt Gaetz’ former colleagues want to check out some high school genitalia.  Gaetz’ former classmates will tell you Matt hasn’t changed a bit since high school… maybe even junior high. Kristi Noem will make undocumented immigrants feel about as unwanted as Native Americans in h...

Radio Public|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Are vaccines breaking the pandemic wave? Oh, so close — Maybe, maybe not, but it does feel more close every day. Even so, who would want to go back to work with the people you used to work with? Or back into public with them for that matter? You can get a lot more done at home, anyhow. For instance, check out David Waldman and Greg Dworkin. Whether working from home or at the studios in KITM World Headquarters...

Radio Public|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) It has been days now since David Waldman received his second vaccine shot and yet he still doesn’t feel bad at all! (He feels a bit ripped off, to be honest.) He still has a chance though, and we here all hope he feels lousy soon.  Nothing marks the end of a pandemic like people getting back out and shooting each other, and themselves. Did your gun shoot your neighbor? Your child? Maybe it gave you a bullet, r...

David Waldman, Greg Dworkin and the rest of the staff here at KITM World Headquarters got all our shots for all 19 Covids and we’re raring to tear into the news this week: The Derek Chauvin trial continues, as the examples of why these trials are needed multiply. Minnesota police shot and killed Daunte Wright after detaining him for air fresheners on his mirror. More protests, more teargas and rubber bullets. ...

Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez, Owen Wilson and Luke Wilson, all those Hemsworths, David Waldman and… David isn’t saying. But, it is whomever’s birthday! Happy birthday! While we’re celebrating, thank you to all you out there sending in recurring contributions! We find that we rarely have to call you defectors to keep you in line. Stay healthy, keep the money coming, and never take the drug Ivermectin unless...

Radio Public|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Who is it? Dave? Dave’s not here, man... Who? Oh, David Waldman? Yeah, he and Greg Dworkin are over on the couch contemplating the ceiling and national politics: Who would have guessed that the US War on Drugs spawning generations of poverty, crime, and corruption throughout Latin America might eventually lead to problems for us? Joe Biden’s going to take our guns! Well, your homemade guns, and the ones yo...

Radio Public|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) David Waldman spent the night tracing the roots of his family tree until he slipped and fell down a genealogy rabbit hole. He discovered that similar names might go with dissimilar people, but sometimes that just doesn’t matter. David has wanted the Senate filibuster dead for years. Now that it’s either the filibuster or democracy, others are catching up. The Senate parliamentarian will let Democrats bypass th...

Radio Public|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) David Waldman handcrafts yet another small-batch KITM, lovingly prepared once daily in our World Headquarters’ kitchen. Joan McCarter joins us with an exquisite water ganache, and her usual political acumen.  President Joe Biden keeps moving his own goalposts…  And he’s still scoring!  Now, all US adults will be eligible for the Covid vaccine on April 19. Saying Boris Johnson is “smarter than Trump” is like sa...

Radio Public|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) David Waldman wishes us all a happy Canadian Easter Monday, regardless of nationality or religion, except for Orthodox Christians, who have boiled their eggs way too soon. Greg Dworkin hauls in two rafts of stories, giving us a lot to talk about. Are we safe from the pandemic yet? No, but we are much safer. Will herd immunity stop the disease? No, but we in the herd will be much more secure. Yes, we still ha...

You’ve come to the right place, as David Waldman, and we at KITM, do not suffer fools gladly… Okay, perhaps with a little glee... The only letdown with the Matt PizzaGaetz scandal is that it’s not happening to Rand and Ted too. Other than that, GaetzGate has got everything —  party drugs, naked women hula-hooping, online payments and solicitation, condoms by the gross… which means it still has a...

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin only have a couple of hours today, but a whole month to go: Let’s start with Ted Cruz of the panhandle, Matt Gaetz. Gaetz’ Mann act adds a few new players, including a former Department of Justice official, a presumed dead Iranian hostage, Andrew McCabe, William Barr… it’s enough to make your Tuck...

Radio Public|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5! David Waldman and Greg Dworkin bring us Wednesday! Maybe Wednesday brought them… Either way, it works out for us: It’s Infrastructure Week! For real! No big trucks for President Joe to go vroom-vroom in, but some actual plans. Republicans don’t plan to vote for any of it but do plan to take credit for all of it… and talk about transgender girls. Hey, have you been vaccinated yet? Anecdotes abound suggesting r...

Radio Public|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5! David Waldman pilots the KITM’s raft of stories through Tuesday without a sandbar in sight. Hey, have you been vaccinated yet? President Joe Biden wants 90% of us eligible within 3 weeks, and the rest of us a month from now, so that we can all celebrate Get Closer to Normal Day, on July 4th! For the time being, cut out the crazy stuff! Do you want to doom us all? Speaking of, those folks who thought Covid was a...

Listen to David Waldman and Greg Dworkin on today’s KITM, then find yourself a volcano and a soccer ball and have ye a joyous Passover, arr! Giant container ship “Ever Given” finally made the long-awaited pivot to freedom, and scampered back into open water, leaving reporters misty-eyed on shore. We are still stuck with a COVID pandemic, though. Thanks to Joe, vaccines are pouring into millions of arms...

Radio Public|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) David Waldman brings us the Friday KITM morning news, traffic on the 10’s: We still have that container ship jackknifed out on the Suez, blocking northbound… well, all transit. Authorities caution that honking horns will not help the situation, and advise patience as plans are implemented. Yesterday, President Joe Biden was asked if he was throwing his hat in the ring for the 2024 presidential election. Other ...

David Waldman brings us the latest KITM news for Thursday. Greg Dworkin is first up with sports analysis: UConn beats Syracuse in the NCAA Tournament second-round game, setting up a meeting with Iowa in Sweet 16. Syracuse were worthy opponents. Next up is Joe Biden’s first press conference! Joe has some experience with journalists. ABC’s Bob Clark, who scored Joe Biden’s first interview, won’t be attending today...

Radio Public|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) You think you’re facing a crisis? How about that poor guy trying to parallel park in the Suez canal? In Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu is on his, like, hundredth election without “a clear path” (which probably still won’t get rid of him). You could be Meghan McCain. David Waldman and Greg Dworkin discuss the latest crises and non-crises, along with the latest impressions of those in the news: There is no immigra...

Radio Public|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) The pandemic might be waning, it’s nicer weather, and so mass shootings have rebounded. Shootings are again coming so fast, it’s hard to forget the last one, before a new one arrives.  Is it too soon to mention yesterday’s massacre while we are talking about last week’s? Not anymore — Everyone, from the NRA to Keith Olbermann already have their lines rehearsed and are ready to go. Also, this season we have Laure...

Radio Public|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) David Waldman makes it official, throwing out the first bag of mulch, and his back, to kick off the spring season. Greg Dworkin sails in with his jumbo raft o’stories. It’s summarizing time! Democrats that like to worry, worry that HR 1 might hurt democracy. Republicans worry that HR 1 might hurt Republicans, and make them all “former guys”. Scaredy Dems want to go back to baby steps, but big plans can carry t...

March 19, 2021 15:58 - 1 hour - 53.1 MB

Radio Public|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) TGIF! At least, for those of you who are “Friday observant”, which thanks to Joe, the flock welcomes even more each week. Atlanta police aren’t commenting on whether the killing of eight people—six of them Asian or Asian American women—was a hate crime. The spokesman for the Georgia Sheriff's Office isn’t commenting on anything anymore. Was the shooter just trying to wean himself from being enticed by women? E...

Radio Public|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) David Waldman and Greg Dworkin deliver the good news — Joe Biden really is here, the former guy isn’t, and COVID hasn’t canceled the brackets. Is the worst over for the COVID-19 pandemic? Most Americans believe it is. Experts urge caution with 15 states increasing their cases by 10 to 25 percent. It has been a little while since some Americans really listened to experts, however. Sometimes it is because actual...

Radio Public|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) David Waldman and Greg Dworkin wore green and attempted to drive the snakes from KITM World Headquarters this morning, but that’s trickier than you’d guess. Robert Aaron Long had a bad day yesterday, entering three Atlanta Georgia spas and killing 8 people, most of them Asian women, at least half of them Korean. Who did he really hate? Asians? Women? Everyone? We probably won’t need to speculate much further, ...

March 16, 2021 18:06 - 1 hour - 53.2 MB

Radio Public|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) A couple of things for your consideration today. Have you ever wondered, how did the FBI investigate accusations of sexual assault by Christine Blasey Ford against Brett Kavanaugh without ever interviewing either Ford or Kavanaugh? Well, so has Senator Sheldon Whitehouse. Mr. Whitehouse has requested that our new Attorney General, Merrick Garland, bring his attention to just that question. Then there’s our b...

Radio Public|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Beware the Ides of March, etc. What, David Waldman and Greg Dworkin worry? Never! They’re secure in the knowledge… and if you had as much knowledge as they do, you’d feel pretty good too: No one should tolerate anyone that behaves like Donald Trump, even if he’s competent and Democratic. Oh wait, Andrew Cuomo is incompetent also, along with being a sexist, sleazy, thug. Ah, but he did pay many TV salaries, for...

Let’s listen to David Waldman and the Friday KITM while we wait for delivery: Finally, the long awaited pivot we’ve waited for! Not to a new President, but to an actual President. Yesterday we began the pivot back to real lives, in a real America. President of the United States, Joe Biden’s address wasn’t just presidential, it was essential. Wow —  show some competence, e...

Senate Democrats have passed the Joe Biden administration’s, exclusively Democratic Party facilitated, American Rescue Plan, the most significant anti-poverty legislation passed in the U.S. in decades!

The Senate passed the COVID relief bill (It is NOT a stimulus bill.), and now it’s back to the House, who will also pass it, because they aren’t idiots. This is a BFD, not just because, at long last those in desperate straits will receive the aid they need and deserve, but it is at least the beginning of the very end of Reaganomic...

That, and David Waldman, Greg Dworkin, and today’s KITM: Are the calculations correct? Is this the day Trump followers have been waiting for? The day is young, but it looks like the storm might need to wait a while longer. The US House did scrap its Thursday session, but not before passing H.R.1, the most important set of democ...

Radio Public|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) David Waldman and Greg Dworkin deliver us to the hump of a not-so-chaotic and informative week. Meanwhile, Joe Biden bestows Americans with the gift of summer, by delivering enough vaccine for all of us by the end of spring! All he needs is some more good news and ‘22 and ‘24 are in the bag, right? Well, no, Democrats will need to be unanimous in passing legislation, because Republicans will be unanimous in bl...

Radio Public|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) David Waldman and Joan McCarter deliver Tuesday’s KITM as well as you’d expect. (As long as you expect perfection.) Who didn’t know that Trump knew that Mohammed bin Salman murdered Jamal Khashoggi? Governor Andrew Cuomo did remember to ask for consent before his third accused sexual harassment, but Cuomo probably should brush up on every other conceivable aspect of human interaction, perhaps on his own time...

Radio Public|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Remember last March? Okay, forget last March. David Waldman and Greg Dworkin introduce us to a much better one today: Trump-who? at CPAC-what now? CPAC used to be the event Republican losers, looneys and nuts would gather at to say crazy stupid stuff. It still is, of course, but anymore that’s pretty much who they all are, and what they all say every day, and that just ruins everything. (No matter how much the...

David Waldman was away for two days, but nobody could take him being gone for six, so here he is for a Friday KITM! Greg Dworkin couldn’t pass up this chance to sail his Raft o’ Stories™ back into port either.  CPAC will never be confused with CPAP. The future of conservatism is white supremacy, bigotry, conspiracy theories, fanaticism, and Marjorie Taylor Greene. Trump is putting together a super PAC to chall...

RadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Another debate tonight! There can’t be many more of those, at least for a few of them up there. And then there’s Super Tuesday, or one of them, because aren’t all Tuesdays a little super with KITM and David Waldman? Bloomberg hates Bernie, at least at tonight’s debate. Trump loves Bloomberg, at least according to Howard Stern.  Richard Walters started at the RNC at 23 years old and in just 7 years is well ...

And today, we'll answer that question, by... playing you that recording. David Waldman and Greg Dworkin welcomed us to another episode of NKN, Nobody Knows Nothing™.  Of course, those two know some things, but check out all that people don’t know:  Bernie Sanders blew through Nevada with a “Tyson Fury” this weekend.

Radio Public|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) David Waldman and Joan McCarter! They probably talk all the time, but if you can hear it, it must be Tuesday on KITM: Merrick Garland is doing very well in his confirmation hearings, which most of us could have guessed for half a decade now. Mr. Garland humiliated Josh Hawley by citing the horror of 1/6, but really, how many Republicans couldn’t you shame by citing the horror of 1/6? The answer is, of course, ...

Radio Public|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) David Waldman warms us up for the weekend: Ted Cruz is not Donald Trump. Cruz isn’t even Joe Quimby. Ted just assumed someone would clean up the mess at home while he was gone, but Cruz somehow couldn’t guess it would follow him right onto the airplane. (He named his poodle Snowflake — take that, snowflakes!) Not quite tan and rested, Cruz quickly returned from Cancun still treading water, while people kept th...

There’s still an impeachment trial on, and if you think I’m going to be able to keep Armando off the air, you ought to be impeached! We started right off the bat with everybody’s big worry, that the decision to truncate the impeachment process might be a mistake. (Not that anybody’s looking for a miracle, here.) That set things up for Armando’s critique not only of the strategy, but of the performances of some...

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin give us a quick, 2 hour review of Trump impeachment II, Day 2: History will demand to know why we didn’t hang Donald Trump. History will discover that it’s because Republicans acquitted him. Trump is as guilty as sin, but so is the Gop, and they know that if they don’t hang together, they will hang separately. But then again, if they hang together… they might hang together, so jus...

Donald’s not in office anymore, but there will never come a day when those words aren’t sweet. David Waldman and Greg Dworkin (almost) have all the kinks worked out on KITM podcast/broadcast! (Once our tech guys figure out how to remove the kitten filter on David we’ll be all set for video.) It looks as if the Presidential Apprentice  will close out with their worst eve...

Somehow, it all feels more tackleable now. David Waldman rolls up our aggregated sleeves: House impeachment managers, Senate leadership, and even Donald Trump’s legal team have  agreed on the impeachment trial rules, so here we go again! The question is, can Donald stand trial? The answer is yes. Republicans argue this business will be a slippery slope, eventually leading to...

David Waldman, Greg Dworkin and Armando are here with last night’s game highlights, followed by 2 hours of political news and opinions: Did you catch that commercial with the old guy driving out in the winter with no roof, no hat, telling us that the place to find national unity is in the center of Kansas under a big white cross? They’ll try to sell us anything, I guess. Remember Lou Dobbs? Why bother? Lou’s ...
