"It is a scientific fact that these macaques, like all other primates, including humans, are communicating. They communicate in much the same way we do - facial expressions, vocalizations, body postures, those kinds of things." - Jeff Kerr Jeff Kerr is PETA foundations Chief Legal Officer. I asked him to come on the show to talk about one of PETA’s current lawsuits against the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Nathional Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). PETA is arguing that the monkeys being tested on in a government run facility are capable of communication (or “are communicating”). And that we have a constitutional right under the First Amendment to receive their communications. This could be a game changer in allowing us to see what’s really going on in labs that are funded by taxpayer money, and which have so far been censored from public view. PETA’s lawsuit follows years of NIH’s attempts to deny Freedom of Information requests banning PETA executives from its campus and illegally censoring animal advocates’ speech on NIH’s public social media pages. Through the lawsuit, PETA is seeking a live audio-visual feed to see and hear real-time communications from the macaques who have been kept isolated, used in fear experiments, and had posts cemented into their heads. Anthropologists and other scientists have studied macaque and other primate communications for decades and know that the monkeys communicate effectively and intentionally through lip smacking, fear grimaces, body language, and various cries and sounds—all of which constitute speech under the law. Primatologists can analyze that speech on a deeper level to share their stories with the world.…

1 Dimwits, Dipsh*ts, Dufuses, and Dullards (Ep. 22); Mike Johnson and How Hunger Is a Policy Choice 32:59
Neo-fascist Ned Flanders and some of his creepy worldviews.
Album: London Calling Artist: The Clash Release Year: 1979
One of the biggest controversies involving Nancy Pelosi—though whether it qualifies as a “scandal” depends on political perspective—centers on allegations of insider trading or conflicts of interest related to stock trading by her and her husband, Paul Pelosi. Let’s break it down, then look at it through an anarchist lens.…
1 Dimwits, Dipsh*ts, Dufuses, and Dullards (Ep. 21); Karoline Leavitt's Lies and Trump's Nazism 33:45
The House has narrowly passed President Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill," and leave it to Karoline Leavitt to lie about it. I also discuss Trump's longstanding history of Nazism, his prominent anti-Jewish supporters, and why he only cares about student protesters allegedly being "antisemitic."
My list of books and stories I plan to read. It's a literary wish list!
Today we’re diving into a controversy involvin one of the most talked-about films — The Brutalist, directed by Brady Corbet. This 2024 epic, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival and nabbed Corbet the Silver Lion for Best Direction, has sparked a heated debate. Not over its cinematography. Not over its acting. But over AI.…
This is the tale of The Shaggs, a group often called the worst band of all time. But hold that thought — because their story is a whole lot more interesting than a punchline.
Today, we’re going deep on "The Return of Godzilla" — released in 1984 and known in Japan simply as Gojira. This isn’t just another sequel. This is a reboot — a resurrection — and a sharp tonal shift that kicks off the Heisei era of Godzilla films.
1 CWT444: Obedience & Orthodoxy: Faith, Nation, and the Machinery of Control (AKA: Who Gets to Tell You What’s Good?) 7:50
There’s a line we hear often in political speeches. “The Bible says...” or “One nation under God.” Those phrases are meant to stir something in us — pride, unity, a sense of higher purpose. But really, they’re just fusions of religion and nationalism designed to secure one thing: obedience.
Today we’re talking about a band that’s carved their name into the flesh of the modern metal scene — a band that doesn’t just play music, they build horror movies in sound. This is the blood-spattered world of Ice Nine Kills. Photo credit: Lyndsey Byrnes.
A hard truth: how can we live in a time of abundance while millions suffer from hunger, homelessness, and war?
She didn’t just enter the punk scene. She wrote its poetry. Today, we’re talking about Patti Smith — artist, icon, disruptor. She’s been called the "Godmother of Punk" and the "punk poet laureate" — and not without reason. Her work helped define an entire cultural movement, fusing raw sound with literary fire.…
Today’s topic? Some people have claimed Bohemian Rhapsody is… the worst rock song of all time.
1 Dimwits, Dipsh*ts, Dufuses, and Dullards (Ep. 20); RFK Jr says ‘people shouldn’t take medical advice from me’ 23:10
When asked by Representative Mark Pocan whether he would vaccinate his children against measles, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. responded hesitantly, stating he "probably" would but emphasized that people should not seek medical advice from him. He similarly avoided direct answers regarding vaccinations for chickenpox and polio.…
Today, we’re cracking open a familiar fairy tale... and peeling back the fantasy to reveal the brutal social realities underneath. Because the story of Cinderella? It’s not just about magic slippers. It’s about what happens when wealth disappears, protection fails, and a girl is left to fend for herself in a world stacked against her.…

1 CWT438: 🎙️ Carrie Underwood's 'America the Beautiful' = an Ugly Distraction That Muted the Moment 8:47
January 20, 2025. Donald Trump is inaugurated for a second term — a presidency that split the country down the middle. The inauguration is indoors this time, thanks to freezing temperatures. But the cold wasn’t just in the air — it was in the mood. Protesters lined the streets. Tensions were high. And yet, what stole the spotlight wasn’t politics, but a performance.…
Today, we’re looking at Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis — a 2022 biographical drama that’s less of a history lesson and more of a high-voltage rock opera.
Today we’re talking about Blackbird—a 2019 drama directed by Roger Michell, based on the 2014 Danish film Silent Heart. Blackbird follows Lily, played by Susan Sarandon, a woman dying of ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) who invites her family for one final weekend before she plans to end her life on her own terms.…

Today we’re heading into Sherwood Forest… ALF-style.

1 Dimwits, Dipsh*ts, Dufuses, and Dullards (Ep. 19); Keir Starmer & US Media Sell US/UK Trade Deal 31:02
Despite mounting global condemnation of the United States for its support of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza—widely characterized as genocidal by legal scholars, human rights groups, and the International Court of Justice—the UK government under Prime Minister Keir Starmer has chosen to deepen its ties with the U.S. through a new trade agreement. This decision comes as evidence accumulates of the U.S. enabling large-scale civilian killings in Gaza via military aid, while also perpetuating human rights violations domestically through its Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency.…
Today’s topic? One that sits right at the edge of mystery and science: Reincarnation. And more specifically — can claims about past lives ever be proven? Or is it just the mind playing tricks, or a deliberate scam?
Today, I'm talking about A Bronx Tale — the 1993 crime drama that marked Robert De Niro’s directorial debut and gave us one of the most powerful coming-of-age films in the genre.
What we saw on that cold January day was more than an inauguration. It was a message: This is who runs America now. Not the voters. Not the institutions. But the billionaires who sit on the dais — and the policies that follow their money.

In a move that has sparked controversy, the United States and Ukraine have signed a bilateral agreement granting the U.S. access to Ukraine's critical mineral resources. Also, another scandalous Trump family member and how Reagan's biggest scandal verifies anarchist critiques of state power and violence.…

"Elvis is Everywhere" is a song by Mojo Nixon & Skid Roper, released in 1987 as part of their album "Bo-Day-Shus!!!" It's a fun little tune!

Ever hear the one about the black car that stole children off the street? Possibly no license plate (at least in some versions). No trace. Just black paint, white rims, and a sense of dread. Today we’re digging into one of Eastern Europe’s most chilling urban legends: The Black Volga.
