A Black Eye, a Pocket Full of Drugs, and a Trail of Carnage

A Black Eye, a Pocket Full of Drugs, and a Trail of Carnage

John broadcasts from L.A. and he talks about Trump confusing NISSAN with NIPPON as he was announcing a new deal to sell U.S. steel to the Japanese company Nippon. He also discusses the formal goodbye from Trump to Elon Musk as the White House silently released a perfectly timed insider leak to the NY Times about Elon's heavy drug use. Elon was presented with a large gold key by Trump, a thank you gift for his service overseeing the destruction of America’s most dependable and important agencies. Musk and Trump promised DOGE will continue as a part of the administration, urging congress to codify and finally make what they are doing legal. Next, he speaks with author Judy Karofsky about her new book "Dis-Elderly Conduct" which is a personal account of unmet needs in assisted living and hospice, and aims to spark discussions about new approaches for America’s aging population and family decision makers. Then finally, TV's Frank Conniff of MST3K returns to joke with John and listeners about Elon's drugs, the deaths of George Wendt and Loretta Swit, and all things Trump.
