Kagro in the Morning - July 5, 2019
July 05, 2019 16:30 - 1 hour - 53.2 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) But… Did. They. Get. Off? The rain was almost… almost like a “sign” from above that yesterday’s greatest show in history would be the hugest lesson in irony. In that, it did not disappoint. David Waldman takes us through Donald Trump’s history lesson on ramming the ramparts at airports during the Revolution. If you think Trump sees history in a strange way, wait until you hear how he sees himself. Profi...
Kagro in the Morning - July 4, 2019
July 04, 2019 16:45 - 1 hour - 53.3 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Just in: President Donald J. Trump is still dead. We hope to update this throughout the day. Justin Amash pronounces the party of Trump dead, and leaves the party. Meanwhile, The Trump administration frantically attempts to resuscitate their citizenship question for the 2020 Census. Or, like as in Trump’s case, they will just pretend it’s alive and hope to fool as many people as long as possible. David Wald...
Kagro in the Morning - July 3, 2019
July 03, 2019 16:24 - 1 hour - 53.2 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Donald Trump is dead, to begin with. Probably. That recent tweet with Pence’s skull (“I love braiiinnns!”) could have be made at any time. That doesn’t mean we can’t have a huge and beautiful wake. We already sold the tickets and bought the fireworks. The whole gang shows up today. David Waldman welcomes Greg Dworkin, Armando and Joan McCarter, all here to pour one out before tomorrow’s interment: Greg say...
Kagro in the Morning - July 2, 2019
July 02, 2019 17:10 - 1 hour - 53.3 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) At the behest of the Shah of America, tanks have been rolling onto the National Mall in preparation for this week’s Jingo-Cosfest 2019. Only the inner circle have been invited to the inner circle. Those outside of that… well, don’t worry, Donald Trump has been noticing you for a while now and will be addressing you in his 2nd, etc. terms. Presently, Donald’s well-muscled eyes are focused on eliminating the 2020 ...

July 01, 2019 15:47 - 1 hour - 53.2 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) We enjoyed great, pre-recorded KITMs last week while David Waldman was out... unfortunately right during the two Democratic Presidential debates. But now David’s back, ready to offer up insightful analysis on all Marianne Williamson-related issues. Might as well cut to the chase, really. Why, even Steve KG Bannon couldn’t pick a more disruptive President. Wait, wasn’t Donald Trump supposed to be “the disruptor”...
Kagro in the Morning - June 28, 2019
June 28, 2019 15:00 - 1 hour - 54.6 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) David Waldman continues his embargo on Democratic debate takeaways, but he didn’t skimp on providing an ALL-NEW Kagro in the Morning! Sure, some of it is from vintage 2015 recordings, but they remain new to us! Anyhow, if you had heard back it then, you’d have no idea how prescient it is right now: Back in 2015, with Hillary Rodham Clinton soon to be elected as the the first female President in US history, re...
Kagro in the Morning - June 27, 2019
June 27, 2019 15:00 - 1 hour - 54.6 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) The first debate for the 2020 Presidential election! Who won? Who lost? What were the defining moments? Surprises? Fails? Triumphs? Takeaways? What were the takeaways? We need the takeaways! Just don’t ask David Waldman for them. Oh, go ahead and ask, but it’ll probably go to his answering machine; this is a travel day for him. Instead, enjoy this special Kagro in the Morning, chockablock with exactly what s...
Kagro in the Morning - June 26, 2019
June 26, 2019 15:21 - 1 hour - 53.2 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Yay! It’s Wednesday, and you know what that means! David Waldman, Greg Dworkin, and Joan McCarter... and it actually does mean that, as Joan McCarter finally returns from having fun without us, back to having fun with us: Coming up tonight: The first Democratic primary debate! What political dynamics should you look for? Well, here’s some dynamics for you—Elizabeth Warren will visit a Florida prison camp j...

June 25, 2019 16:43 - 1 hour - 53.3 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) KITM might be live tomorrow, it might be pre-recorded Thursday and Friday, but today David Waldman brings us news and entertainment right now, ready or not: The Trump concentration camps are actually concentration camps, but really, NOT the Holocaust. Russia supports Iran’s contention that our drone was trespassing. Iran supports our contention that the 25th amendment should be revisited. The White Hous...
Kagro in the Morning - June 24, 2019
June 24, 2019 16:27 - 1 hour - 53.3 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) We didn’t go to war this weekend! Donald Trump made a Presidential pivot during a Fox News toilet break, allowing thousands to live through the weekend and for him to make tee time. The 4th of July weekend seems like a better time for fireworks, anyhow. David Waldman also survives the weekend to start off our KITM week: Militia groups cancel democracy in their first state, beginning with Oregon. How bad ...
Kagro in the Morning - June 21, 2019
June 21, 2019 16:44 - 1 hour - 53.3 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) OMG, we almost went to war with Iran last night! Unless, maybe, it didn’t happen. Holy mackeral, it really didn’t! This really is getting to be too easy. Jerry Nadler is up in arms about emoluments, now. I wish there was something he could do. Donald Trump, who says he’s president, figures he can “win” with just his base. I guess it depends on what “win” means. Elliott Broidy is back in the news. So that’s ...
Kagro in the Morning - June 20, 2019
June 20, 2019 16:20 - 1 hour - 53.3 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Iran shot down a US drone, escalating tensions that were already at a fever pitch, ever since Fox bought their new graphics software. That stuff doesn’t pay for itself, you know. Ivanka Trump takes a number and gets in line to go to jail for the Hatch act. Hope Hicks continues to do it, by not doing it, if Donald Trump doesn’t like it. Felix Sater wishes he could do anything like Hope Hicks does it. Da...

June 19, 2019 16:42 - 1 hour - 53.3 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Joe Biden, Presidential candidate, reversed his position on the Hyde amendment, right as the House is poised to pass spending legislation. Just when you thought elected officials were subject to sacrosanct, unbending rules, David Waldman is here to explain just how wrong, and right you are, in a nuance and esoterica filled procedural dissertation on the inner workings of House rules in KITM’s second hour. B...
Kagro in the Morning - June 18, 2019
June 18, 2019 16:34 - 1 hour - 53.2 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) David Waldman’s morning set at the KITM World Headquarters’ Comedy Kitchen opened quite upbeat today, wondering “what’s the deal” with toothpicks, crazy parkers, idiot Presidents and such, but soon segued into darker territory—the moment a soon to be award-winning photographer captured that moment a "law-abiding" open-carrying good guy with a gun became none of the above. What is the deal with violence-cosplayin...
Kagro in the Morning - June 17, 2019
June 17, 2019 15:45 - 1 hour - 53.3 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Well, Donald Trump isn’t going away soon, maybe ever. David Waldman shows no signs of stopping either, and obeys no term limits: In a series of ABC interviews, George Stephanopoulos patiently offered Trump a myriad of opportunities to be a dimwit, and Donald took him up on every single one, even while working in a few of his own. Just don’t cough during a take. For some reason, Donald Trump hates that. So ...
Kagro in the Morning - June 14, 2019
June 14, 2019 16:10 - 1 hour - 53.2 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Donald Trump was worried there, for a few minutes, in 2016. At that time, being President of the United States seemed to require a lot of work, discipline, and responsibility! Eh… it used to. Now we have executive time, executive privilege, and executive LOL,YOLO nothing matters… Well, somehow it still matters to David Waldman and us KITM listeners. The President doing nothing actually destroys everything. ...
Kagro in the Morning - June 13, 2019
June 13, 2019 16:47 - 1 hour - 53.3 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) Did anyone impeach the Prince of Wails yet? How about an impeachment inquiry? Anything? Damn Donald Trump, and the system that let him slide for 60 or so years. (Foreign interference in 2016 did matter, btw) David Waldman brings us a special “Not Letting Trump Slide” KITM (Issued weekdays since 2015): Donald Trump lies. Donald said you’d “freeze action” the video of his “secret trade agreement.” You did, a...
Kagro in the Morning - June 12, 2019
June 12, 2019 15:44 - 1 hour - 53.2 MBRadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) David Waldman presents the hump day KITM, the hump caused by the shear abundance of links, stories, and things to consider. Today in malfeasance: When Chaos and corruption go hand in hand, you know it is time to invest in gravel, bananas, or anything Mitch McConnell is investing in. 22 foreign governments shop Trump. Mexican officials go to Jared. Russia’s social media campaign was far larger, vastly mor...
