In case you're new to the podcast, Buzz was my Tuesday co-host from 2017 through 2024. Before that, he was the host of his own podcast called Buzz Burbank News and Comment. Prior to that he was a co-host on the Mike O'Meara Show, and he was the news anchor on the old Don & Mike Show where I interned for Buzz back in 1993. Today we got an update about his foray into local politics, we talked about Donald's war on American citizens, we talked about the future of late night television, – plus the government shutdown and more.

The shooting at the ICE detention center in Dallas. None of this makes sense. The Dallas ICE shooter wasn't political. We have a straight white man problem.

Disney caves to pressure. Jimmy Kimmel returns tonight! Sinclair will air a news program instead. Donald embarrasses America at the UN. "Your countries are going to hell."

We react to the death of Charlie Kirk and what might happen next as political tensions escalate in these dark times. Donald Trump's irresponsible reaction. Elon Musk, Laura Loomer, Jesse Watters, and other MAGA fire-eaters falsely claim Democrats have incited violence. There's no one in custody and we don't know whether this was political at all. The WSJ's dubious report about engravings on the bullets. Matthew Dowd fired from MSNBC. The school shooting in Evergreen Colorado. Inflation is up, jobless claims are up. National Guard documents show fear and shame over DC occupation.

This episode was recorded prior to the shooting of Charlie Kirk in Utah, an act of violence we strongly condemn. Cliff recently launched the Soundcheck fund that offers micro-grants to liberal voices who need a leg-up – funding for liberal media is something Cliff and I have talked about for decades and now it's finally happening. Blueamp.co to support his work.

The first episode of Trek Politics 2.0 is out now! John Fugelsang's book “Separation of Church and Hate” is out today! The WSJ released the image of Donald's drawing for Jeffrey Epstein. The White House's response is a nuclear annihilation of the truth. Creepy drawing of Epstein grooming children with balloons. Did Donald buy a "depreciated" woman or girl?

West coast states announced healthcare alliance. Tiny Trump blames AI for window tossing video. Florida Surgeon General announces an end to ALL vaccine mandates, including Polio!

John is one of these guys who's so insightful, empathetic, and endlessly hilarious – I'm so proud to call him a friend. More importantly, John has a new must-own book out called Separation of Church and Hate: A Sane Person's Guide to Taking Back the Bible from Fundamentalists, Fascists, and Flock-Fleecing Frauds. It's an invaluable resource for anyone who's navigating the social media wars and, in particular, those of us who've become disillusioned with Christianity. John reunites us with the woke teachings of Jesus without all the dogmatic bullshit. Seriously, buy it now. Meantime, make sure to support this podcast by subscribing at patreon.com/bobcescashow.

Keith Olbermann on Countdown gives a great dressing-down of Bob ("shut the eff up!") Costa and a great historical rationale FOR Bob to shut the eff up. Don't know if you or Buzz read this here, Bob (speak the eff up!) Cesca, but if so, disseminate the KO punch! A formidable ally.

why is it when the consequences of abortion, especially the physical and psychological, are discussed, "people" is the word used, not "women"?
