Birthday: Xi Jinping (born 1953)** — President of China and General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party. This Day in History: 1991— Mount Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines, one of the largest volcanic events of the 20th century, with global climate impacts. --- The Rage That Was (or not…) Welcome to the new Monday format as today we will talk about the week that was and how it affected all of humanity for generations to come. --- Lincoln Memorial Reflection Pond $14,000,000 dollars later we have an algae fully renovated monument for America’s 250 anniversary and the people are a crying to the high hills about: the cost, what could we have used the money for, etc… Meanwhile I ask myself: * Did my water bill change? * Is your commute easier? * Did your dog care? --- UFC 317 (Freedom 250) The White House lawn is in “Are You Ready” mode for America’s 250th and President Trump’s birthday bash! In typical Trump fashion the nation will witness the first ever UFC event on the front lawn of our nation’s capital. TDS enthusiasts are having an absolute meltdown over the audacity that Trump has used this opportunity to throw a party not only for himself but the nation they so fervently hate (seems like). Meanwhile I ask myself: * Did my paycheck change? * Is my mortgage lower? * Did this improve my golf score? --- Karmelo Anthony Verdict Half the country is furious and the other half is furious for the opposite reason, and most Americans only learned about this case 3 days ago. Meanwhile I’m wondering if the egg salad sandwich in my lunchbox doesn’t have enough mayonnaise on it! --- Pride Month People celebrating, people protesting, people boycotting and writing Bible verses on their Pride Night baseball caps or not wearing the caps at all! Meanwhile I’m trying to keep my lettuce from bolting in the hot weather, keeping my tomatoes alive and avoiding 3-putts. --- ELON MUSK IS A TRILLIONAIRE ($1,000,000,000,000) And You Thought Data Centers Were Huge! Just wait till Elon starts building his enormous vault to store each and every one of his precious dollar bills! Breaking News! Elon Musk's net worth has reportedly reached one trillion dollars. Sources confirm he has begun construction on a 47-state-wide storage facility to hold all the cash. Experts estimate: * 10,000 accountants needed just to count it. * 4,000 forklifts required to move it. * Every mattress in America is being recalled to make room underneath it. * The Federal Reserve has asked him to stop ordering pallets of $100 bills. Meanwhile, half the internet is furious that a guy who builds rockets, electric cars, satellites, AI companies, payment systems, and tunnels ended up rich. Apparently the new American Dream is: "Anyone can become successful... ...just not THAT successful." The real mystery isn't how much he's worth. The real mystery is why somebody else's success makes complete strangers so angry. ---- SHOW CREDITS: Thank you to my co-host, Ken Madden of MaddK Studio [https://the-weatherd-view.captivate.fm/maddk-studio] Audio credits and Producer Jason Radosevich Horrible Designs [https://the-weatherd-view.captivate.fm/horrible-designs] Cast: Kate the Duchess of NJ and John Jamingo of theBoomer Bunker [https://the-weatherd-view.captivate.fm/boomer-bunker] Aaron of I had to Say it [https://the-weatherd-view.captivate.fm/i-had-to-say-it] Boomer Bob of the Boomer Bob Show [https://the-weatherd-view.captivate.fm/boomer-bob] Lorenzo from Misanthrope Radio 2.0 [https://the-weatherd-view.captivate.fm/misanthrope-radio-2-0] Cody the Beard as the Last Word.

Birthday: George H. W. Bush (1924–2018) — 41st President of the United States and World War II veteran. This Day in History: 1987 — President Ronald Reagan delivered his famous “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” speech at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. Barn Bummer (Not the Bee) Beloved Culver's Barn Destroyed By Wisconsin Storm. The bright blue landmark, located about an hour from the original Culver's in Sauk City, proudly proclaimed graƟtude to the farmers of the Midwest from the side of US-151. And it didn't just fall, it got absolutely yeeted by Wednesday's storms aŌer already taking a beaƟng from a tornado back in April. Michael Zimmerman, who's had the place since 1976, was home when it happened. He had plans to repaint it in July; instead, he's now contemplaƟng how to get "back to the same place we were," whatever that means. Culver's launched a “Thank You Farmers Project” back in 2013, painƟng barns across the heartland in that unmistakable shade of blue. Ol’ LeŌy Lobbed (Fox News) Phil Mickelson is no longer welcome at a course he's played at for decades, according to a new bombshell report containing serious accusaƟons against the six-Ɵme major champion. According to Golf Digest, a female employee at The Farms Golf Club in the San Diego area accused Mickelson of making inappropriate contact with her before a round of golf this spring. The Farms confirmed in a statement that Mickelson is no longer a member of the club. Mickelson allegedly approached the female employee at the clubhouse and made nonconsensual and inappropriate physical contact with her. The employee reported the incident to the supervisors of the club aŌer rejecƟng the alleged advances aŌer Mickelson returned to the golf course. Bass Brother BaƩle (New York Post) Karen Bass’ awkward response to her brother suing her for losing his $2M home in Palisades Fire. Karen Bass could not flee fast enough as she was quizzed about her older brother suing the City of Los Angeles aŌer his luxury Malibu home was destroyed in the Palisades fire. The mayor, who is seeking re-elecƟon, repeatedly refused to discuss the lawsuit and ducked into her blacked-out chauffeured-Suburban when politely approached at World Cup soccer event on Thursday. Bass was asked three Ɵmes about the city being sued by her older sibling Kenneth Bass, 78, but refused to respond on each occasion. “We’re not talking about that!” a raƩled Bass assistant said as she tried to prevent her boss from being asked quesƟons about the suit filed by her big brother and his wife, Cindy, 70. Her brother’s suit, filed in May, shows he and wife, Cindy, are joining a class acƟon against the city over the deadly fire. Part of the blame, according to the suit, is that the Santa Ynez Reservoir located in the Palisades was leŌ empty – meaning there was reduced water supplies for firefighters to use.---- SHOW CREDITS: Thank you to my co-host, Ken Madden of MaddK Studio [https://the-weatherd-view.captivate.fm/maddk-studio] Audio credits and Producer Jason Radosevich Horrible Designs [https://the-weatherd-view.captivate.fm/horrible-designs] Cast: Kate the Duchess of NJ and John Jamingo of theBoomer Bunker [https://the-weatherd-view.captivate.fm/boomer-bunker] Aaron of I had to Say it [https://the-weatherd-view.captivate.fm/i-had-to-say-it] Boomer Bob of the Boomer Bob Show [https://the-weatherd-view.captivate.fm/boomer-bob] Lorenzo from Misanthrope Radio 2.0 [https://the-weatherd-view.captivate.fm/misanthrope-radio-2-0] Cody the Beard as the Last Word.

A series of shocking videos appear to show homeless residents on Los Angeles’ Skid Row claiming they were paid to vote for Mayor Karen Bass and Councilwoman Nithya Raman. The videos after they were published Tuesday on TikTok. The footage, recorded near 7th Street and Flower Street in downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday morning, has since been provided to the Department of Justice. One man, identified as Kevin Shepherd, claimed he received $4 to vote for Bass. When asked whether he would also have been paid to vote for Raman, Shepherd claimed the answer was yes and said Spencer Pratt was not among the candidates he was encouraged to support. “They gave you an optional choice,” Shepherd claimed, alleging he negotiated for a higher payment and ultimately received $4. Shepherd further claimed he completed a mail-in ballot for Bass and deposited it in a ballot box. “Everybody said it was normal,” “They said people came through all the time.” Several residents alleged that groups regularly visited the area asking people to sign paperwork, though some acknowledged they did not fully understand what they were signing. Rene Johnson, 39, who said she lives on Skid Row, claimed she received $5 after being told to vote for Bass. When asked if she thought it was fraud, she said that it was “fraudulent behavior.” “But, you know, at the time, I didn’t know that that was going on. I was just trying to make five bucks, you know? But I didn’t do the fraud.” According to multiple residents interviewed on camera, outreach workers allegedly visited the area as often as three to five times a week before the election, with several organizations purportedly involved. Another woman, who said she was living on the street, claimed she was told to vote for Bass and received $2 in exchange. ---- SHOW CREDITS: Thank you to my co-host, Ken Madden of MaddK Studio [https://the-weatherd-view.captivate.fm/maddk-studio] Audio credits and Producer Jason Radosevich Horrible Designs [https://the-weatherd-view.captivate.fm/horrible-designs] Cast: Kate the Duchess of NJ and John Jamingo of theBoomer Bunker [https://the-weatherd-view.captivate.fm/boomer-bunker] Aaron of I had to Say it [https://the-weatherd-view.captivate.fm/i-had-to-say-it] Boomer Bob of the Boomer Bob Show [https://the-weatherd-view.captivate.fm/boomer-bob] Lorenzo from Misanthrope Radio 2.0 [https://the-weatherd-view.captivate.fm/misanthrope-radio-2-0] Cody the Beard as the Last Word.

Why is this relevant? Well, because in a resurfaced interview Lewis Hamilton, who again, is worth $500 million and dating a woman worth $2 billion, said there should be limits on what people can earn and how much money they have. Seriously "One of the things that I struggle with every day, and it's just how life is, and it's been this way for thousands of years, is that there is such a disparity between the wealthy and the poor," he responded. "When you drive around LA there's still so many people living on the streets. "You shouldn't be able to have billions, right, I think there should be a limit to how much you can have because there's enough to go around to everyone. So, somehow create a law that creates more equality and equal access for everyone." ----- AI Escort’s 6k Nookie (New York Post) [https://nypost.com/2026/06/08/business/escorts-are-charging-as-much-as-6k-per-hour-thanks-to-silicon-valleys-ai-boom/] Escorts are charging as much as $6K per hour thanks to Silicon Valley’s AI boom. Silicon Valley’s AI millionaires are paying eye-popping rates of up to $6,000 an hour — and $23,000 a day — for escorts who can discuss GPUs, artificial intelligence and the future of humanity before heading to the bedroom. A small but lucrative class of so-called “nerd-first” escorts is cashing in on the tech industry’s wealth explosion by marketing themselves as intellectually curious companions who can match clients’ obsession with AI, cryptocurrency, longevity and other futurist pursuits. While escorts on industry platforms may charge around $1,000 an hour at the high end, several women interviewed for the story reported rates between $3,500 and $6,000 an hour. Hopper said she charges $5,000 an hour, while Aella said she charges $6,000 ---- SHOW CREDITS: Thank you to my co-host, Ken Madden of MaddK Studio [https://the-weatherd-view.captivate.fm/maddk-studio] Audio credits and Producer Jason Radosevich Horrible Designs [https://the-weatherd-view.captivate.fm/horrible-designs] Cast: Kate the Duchess of NJ and John Jamingo of theBoomer Bunker [https://the-weatherd-view.captivate.fm/boomer-bunker] Aaron of I had to Say it [https://the-weatherd-view.captivate.fm/i-had-to-say-it] Boomer Bob of the Boomer Bob Show [https://the-weatherd-view.captivate.fm/boomer-bob] Lorenzo from Misanthrope Radio 2.0 [https://the-weatherd-view.captivate.fm/misanthrope-radio-2-0] Cody the Beard as the Last Word.
