Bee-otch of the Day: Trump (for the Epstein mess, religious BS and defunding PBS)

In this podcast, Chuck discusses...

*Trump is trying to sweep the Epstein mess under the rug. In a recent speech, Fox News host Laura Ingraham told a crowd to applaud Trump's DOJ claiming that the Epstein files are nonexistent. They booed instead.

*Chuck reminds people that Ingraham trashed the victims of the Parkland School shooting some years ago and her sponsors dumped her, save for MyPillow.

*At a religious function last week, Trump used profanity and the crowd dug it up. In years past, those who used profanity like George Carlin were frowned on by Christian conservatives. Chuck talked about Howard Stern being fined by the FCC for using words like "blumpkin". Yet, Oprah did a show on teenage sex parties that was all made up by her staff, and she was never fined. 

*Trump's religious advisor, Paula White, is a wealthy televangelist who begs people for money although she's wealthy. She's married to Jonathan Cain, the keyboardist from the band Journey. He performed the group's most-popular song, "Don't Stop Believin'" on convicted felon Jim Bakker's program. 

*White spoke in tongues at the event. Chuck recalled his high school prom date making him go to a revival complete with tongue talking. It was the final nail in the coffin of their relationship. He also talked about a family member who lives in a trailer park who donated to the Trinity Broadcasting Network. Chuck said that those who give to televangelists aren't very intelligent.

*Trump is trying to mix church and state. Chuck pointed out how religion played a disgusting role in World War II.

*The Senate just approved $9 billion in cuts to PBS. Chuck explains how crucial PBS is. He thinks he's a better person because he watched their shows as a kid. 

*Chuck is afraid that the cuts to PBS will lead to affiliates having to sell out to someone else. Hint: these types of people have been buying failed commercial radio stations.

*Finally, Chuck gives a shout-out to a Grand Rapids radio legend whose father passed away recently.
