Speaker 1: accompanies Katie Fang News. But we'd love your support on
Speaker 1: both and all platforms. But thanks for tuning in. As
Speaker 1: I noted on social media, as I teased today's sidebar,
Speaker 1: we have so many headlines to cover. I decided that
Speaker 1: we would launch today's show by talking about the smorgasbord
Speaker 1: of stupidity that is going on across our country. If
Speaker 1: you notice, you like that alliteration, folks. Smorgasbord of stupidity.
Speaker 1: It is a day ending in Y in the Trump administration.
Speaker 1: We will get to the absolute latest very soon in
Speaker 1: my lawsuit against Todd Blanche. I know you're all interested
Speaker 1: in that. But let's start with this headline. If you
Speaker 1: can believe it, allegedly.
Speaker 2: Allegedly.
Speaker 1: The Trump Department of Justice is considering its own form
Speaker 1: of chasing accountability against this ICE agent you see on
Speaker 1: your screen right now. His name is Christian Castro. And
Speaker 1: if you are a subscriber here at Katie Fang News,
Speaker 1: you will know that I interviewed Minnesota Attorney General Keith
Speaker 1: Allison just the other day. And we were talking about
Speaker 1: the lawsuit that he has brought against Texas Governor Greg
Speaker 1: Abbott to be able to get that ICE agent, Christian Castro, extradited.
Speaker 1: back to Minnesota to face four felony counts of assault,
Speaker 1: as well as falsifying a report to the police. Basically,
Speaker 1: he shot into an occupied home. He injured a man
Speaker 1: in the leg. The bullet lodged in the home of
Speaker 1: a child, excuse me, in the room of a child.
Speaker 1: And he lied to the FBI about being under attack
Speaker 1: by this poor migrant that actually was shot in the leg.
Speaker 1: He got busted when it came out through video surveillance
Speaker 1: and other witnesses that the guy was a lying sack
Speaker 1: of shit. And so as a result, he got arrested.
Speaker 1: And well, he hasn't been arrested yet, although he's in
Speaker 1: custody in Texas. But the reason why I wanted to
Speaker 1: start with this is if this is the case and
Speaker 1: we look at these headlines and the Trump DOJ is
Speaker 1: considering charging this ICE agent. in the false lies he
Speaker 1: made and the shootings that he did in January, then
Speaker 1: this maybe is the beginning of some measure of justice.
Speaker 1: But folks, I see you there. I'm holding my breath too,
Speaker 1: because I don't know if that ish is going to happen. Why? Well, look,
Speaker 1: we haven't seen the Trump Department of Justice provide cooperation
Speaker 1: to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. That is the
Speaker 1: investigative agency in Minnesota that has been investigating the murders
Speaker 1: of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Preddy. As we know,
Speaker 1: the federal government has been throwing up obstacles in the
Speaker 1: sharing of evidence and information with Minnesota state authorities who
Speaker 1: are investigating the murders of those two innocent people. They
Speaker 1: have also, they being the feds, have also facilitated the bye-bye,
Speaker 1: where did you go, of the CBP and ICE officers
Speaker 1: that were involved in those two murders. And so I'm
Speaker 1: not holding my breath. And as we know, what do
Speaker 1: I like to say here? The devil's in those details, right?
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the timing of these headlines because I
Speaker 1: find them to be incredibly suspicious. They look like they're
Speaker 1: good headlines. Exclusive, Justice Department considers bringing charges against ICE
Speaker 1: officer in Minneapolis shooting. The other headline, Sidney, Feds consider
Speaker 1: criminal charges against ICE officer accused in January shooting a
Speaker 1: Venezuelan immigrant in Minnesota. Looks like they're trying to get
Speaker 1: that to happen, right? Let's go to Texas. As I mentioned,
Speaker 1: Keith Ellison, fantastic attorney general of Minnesota, filing that lawsuit
Speaker 1: against Grant Abbott. He had to go to court today.
Speaker 1: He had to go to court today because he had
Speaker 1: to argue to a Texas federal judge. that they should
Speaker 1: not release this ICE agent, Christian Castro, into the public
Speaker 1: because he's a flight risk. I mean, he did a
Speaker 1: crime in Minnesota and then they found him in Texas.
Speaker 1: So you would think if the feds are thinking of
Speaker 1: charging this guy, you would think that there also would
Speaker 1: be the feds telling Texas Governor Greg Abbott to get
Speaker 1: the hell out of the way and to make sure
Speaker 1: that he either extradites this guy, Christian Castro, to Minnesota,
Speaker 1: as Governor Walz has asked, or that maybe he would
Speaker 1: sit on him and hold him so that the feds
Speaker 1: could come in and do something. Oh, but no, that's
Speaker 1: not the case. Look at this. This is a filing
Speaker 1: that was done by Governor Abbott in that lawsuit that
Speaker 1: was brought. It's an opposition motion or response, excuse me.
Speaker 1: And I want to get into some of the details
Speaker 1: of this. You want to know why? Because this is
Speaker 1: the position that that the governor of Texas is taking.
Speaker 1: Are you ready? I'm just going to share a little
Speaker 1: bit of the language because I think it's important for
Speaker 1: you to hear. Greg Abbott is stating that one month ago,
Speaker 1: he directed the secretary of state in Texas to investigate,
Speaker 1: that's his own language, to investigate whether Christian Castro is
Speaker 1: even a fugitive based on public and reports and a
Speaker 1: preliminary investigation indicating that he, as in Castro, the ICE agent,
Speaker 1: was ordered to return to Texas by ICE. The governor
Speaker 1: has serious doubts that Castro qualifies as a fugitive, but
Speaker 1: he hasn't received that report from the Secretary of State,
Speaker 1: so he can't make a decision as to whether or
Speaker 1: not he wants to grant Minnesota's request for extradition. He says,
Speaker 1: as in Abbott, No state may short circuit the Constitution's
Speaker 1: protection simply because it wants to claim its pound of flesh.
Speaker 1: The court should deny emergency relief and ultimately dismiss the
Speaker 1: lawsuit brought by Minnesota in its entirety. As we heard
Speaker 1: from Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison when I spoke to
Speaker 1: him here at Katie Fang News just a couple of
Speaker 1: days ago, he said, it's not discretionary. The federal law
Speaker 1: and the state law requires that when the extradition request
Speaker 1: is made by by the governor of Minnesota to the
Speaker 1: governor of Texas. It must be complied with. And so
Speaker 1: this is just a whole lot of grandstanding and bullshit
Speaker 1: from Governor Greg Abbott, who clearly wants to protect an
Speaker 1: ICE agent who likes to be gun and trigger happy
Speaker 1: and likes to lie to law enforcement about what happens.
Speaker 1: Check out this. This is the response from Ellison, Attorney
Speaker 1: General Ellison. It was filed today. This is their reply
Speaker 1: in support of the restraining order that they're seeking. And
Speaker 1: it says on the very first page, Minnesota filed this
Speaker 1: lawsuit on August 18th after making dozens of inquiries about
Speaker 1: the status of Castro's extradition. Abbott never responded to the inquiries.
Speaker 1: And for the very first time, he's now claiming that
Speaker 1: he's investigating whether Castro is a, quote, fugitive for purposes
Speaker 1: of the extradition clause and the extradition act. The sheriff
Speaker 1: who currently has Castro in custody says, does not oppose
Speaker 1: what Minnesota is seeking and confirms that he will not
Speaker 1: release Castro if otherwise ordered by the court. But the
Speaker 1: court should not be fooled by Abbott's investigation into Castro's
Speaker 1: fugitive status. There is a real risk that if Castro
Speaker 1: is released, he will flee. He is a flight risk.
Speaker 1: And that is the reason why the court should grant
Speaker 1: Minnesota's ask to make sure that Abbott signs that extradition
Speaker 1: request and he gets turned over to Minnesota authorities and
Speaker 1: not released to the public. As I said, I interviewed
Speaker 1: Attorney General Ellison. I want to play a little bit
Speaker 1: of sound of what he had to say about this
Speaker 1: because this is a very important thing, folks. There is
Speaker 1: a 90-day window that is ticking that expires tomorrow, August 26th.
Speaker 1: And that is the reason why Minnesota was forced to
Speaker 1: go to Texas to file an emergency motion to get
Speaker 1: help from a federal judge because Governor Abbott in Texas
Speaker 1: wants to harbor a fugitive in Texas. But take a
Speaker 1: listen to what A.G. Ellison had to say. Look, this
Speaker 1: 90-day window is really important because the window runs on
Speaker 1: August 26. And for people who are following along here,
Speaker 1: once that 90 days is up, the guy, Christian Castro,
Speaker 1: who's currently being held by the sheriff, he will be released.
Speaker 1: And so what are you seeking from a court? Because
Speaker 1: I saw you filed in federal court in Texas in
Speaker 1: Brownsville Division. So what are you asking the court to do?
Speaker 3: We're asking, we have two things. One, we're saying don't
Speaker 3: release him to the sheriff. We want the court, we
Speaker 3: want the judge to issue a court order to tell
Speaker 3: the sheriff not to release him. And we have a,
Speaker 3: and our motion is to make the governor sign the
Speaker 3: warrant to release him to Minnesota. So if that happens,
Speaker 3: they may appeal, they may not. If they don't, he's
Speaker 3: on his way back to Minnesota. If they do, then
Speaker 3: that's gonna be in the Fifth Circuit. That's why we
Speaker 3: need the court, the jail to hold onto him. Then
Speaker 3: if the Fifth Circuit rules, upholds the district court judge,
Speaker 3: which we believe will rule in our favor, then he's
Speaker 3: coming back. If they don't, then we got to go
Speaker 3: to Supreme Court for an emergency writ. So we've gained
Speaker 3: this thing out. And I'm telling you this, Mr. Castro
Speaker 3: will face justice in Minnesota, period.
Speaker 1: Hail to the yeah. I mean, that's the type of
Speaker 1: energy we need, don't we? So, like I said, people,
Speaker 1: don't hold your breath. I don't know if the feds
Speaker 1: are going to do anything. But look, we just got
Speaker 1: this exclusive latest from Attorney General Elson. This is a
Speaker 1: statement that just came out. They went to court today.
Speaker 1: They argue that Abbott has no discretion in the matter
Speaker 1: of Castro's extradition. If Abbott does not execute his legal
Speaker 1: and constitutional duty to return Castro to face justice here,
Speaker 1: Minnesota will suffer irreparable harm if Castro is set free
Speaker 1: and allowed to flee the country. The court said it
Speaker 1: hopes to issue a written order by tomorrow. I look
Speaker 1: forward to Castro's mandatory extradition in Minnesota to face the
Speaker 1: criminal assault charges the state has laid against him here
Speaker 1: for his actions during Operation Metro Surge. You really think
Speaker 1: that he got sent to Texas because of his job?
Speaker 1: You really think that? Or maybe it's just conveniently closer
Speaker 1: to the Mexican border. How ironic. Alrighty, so that is
Speaker 1: something we are watching carefully. We'll make sure that we
Speaker 1: report to you at Katie Fang News what happens, but
Speaker 1: I wanted to make sure you had the details because
Speaker 1: like we do here, we go beyond the headlines. Let's
Speaker 1: move on to the next important topic in the smorgasbord
Speaker 1: of stupidity. Once again, Donald Trump, convicted felon Donald Trump
Speaker 1: has decided to piss off one of our great neighbors.
Speaker 1: That is Canada. Here's the latest when it comes to
Speaker 1: the tariff war that we are in with Canada. Because
Speaker 1: talks on Friday, between Canada and the United States failed,
Speaker 1: we now have a dollar for dollar match by Canada
Speaker 1: to any of the tariffs that are being imposed by
Speaker 1: the United States. Now, Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada
Speaker 1: announcing that we are now at war, as in Canada,
Speaker 1: with the United States because of convicted felon Donald Trump's
Speaker 1: attack on that country with his illogical and stupid and
Speaker 1: absolutely draconian tariffs that he's trying to impose. Take a
Speaker 1: listen to Canadian finance minister, Francois-Philippe Champagne. What a name, folks.
Speaker 1: Francois-Philippe Champagne. Listen to what he had to say about
Speaker 1: these tariffs.
Speaker 4: Those tariffs will have real consequences for Canadian workers, businesses,
Speaker 4: and communities across our nation. Canada must respond. And today
Speaker 4: we are in a proportionate, targeted, and strategic way. Today
Speaker 4: I'm announcing that Canada will match the United States tariffs
Speaker 4: dollar for dollar, rate for rate. Effective September 8, Canada
Speaker 4: will impose counter tariffs of up to 15, 25, or
Speaker 4: 50% on $ 27. 6 billion in imports from the United States
Speaker 4: of America. For each product, our tariff would match the
Speaker 4: American tariff on the same type of Canadian good.
Speaker 1: How dumb do you have to be to pick a
Speaker 1: fight with Canada? I just want us to stop for
Speaker 1: a second and think about the stupidity of felon Trump.
Speaker 1: That of all the countries that we want to be
Speaker 1: picking a fight with, they're going to pick it with Canada.
Speaker 1: I mean, we share a fucking border with Canada, but
Speaker 1: this is what we're going to do. So think about this. Carney... said, quote,
Speaker 1: we have recognized from the start that America has changed.
Speaker 1: We recognize that sometimes its signature is written in pencil.
Speaker 1: But let's talk about the details, folks.
Speaker 2: Ready?
Speaker 1: Canada says that their retaliatory tariffs will be as high
Speaker 1: as 50 percent beginning on Tuesday, which is today. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Excuse me. September 8th. The tariffs that we just heard
Speaker 1: from the Canadian finance minister, 50, 25 and 15 percent
Speaker 1: will be in about 700 products. The most significant is
Speaker 1: a doubling of the tariffs already. American steel and aluminum,
Speaker 1: that will be 50% tariffs. Many of the American products
Speaker 1: Canada will now tax will mirror the Canadian exports that
Speaker 1: are being hit with these new U.S. tariffs that have
Speaker 1: been imposed by Trump, including clothing, forestry products, tools and electronics,
Speaker 1: including smartphones. But Canada, Canada is tagging the U.S. on
Speaker 1: Canadian tariffs. for things like dishwashers, washing machines, and stoves.
Speaker 1: The new tariffs account for $ 20 billion of the $ 382
Speaker 1: billion of the products that Americans bought from Canada last
Speaker 1: year and cover a wide array of goods from, ready,
Speaker 1: fake mustaches to dog leashes. But again, we are now
Speaker 1: in a war between with Canada because of Trump's dumbass tariffs.
Speaker 1: Take a listen to Ontario Premier Doug Ford and his
Speaker 1: message to Fallon Trump.
Speaker 2: Did the prime minister tell you to ask you to
Speaker 2: tone it down a bit? No, he didn't. I'm not
Speaker 2: going to comment, but he wasn't against that. And I
Speaker 2: have a lot of real estate on my ass, so
Speaker 2: he has a lot of room to kiss my ass.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, man, the Canadians, they got some balls.
Speaker 1: So this is also the reaction that came from felon
Speaker 1: Trump to this war with Canada. You would think that
Speaker 1: maybe perhaps cooler heads would prevail. Maybe he would listen
Speaker 1: to the counsel of some smarter people. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: if they exist in this cabinet that would say, you know,
Speaker 1: President Trump, this is not smart to be picking a
Speaker 1: tariff war with our neighbor, Canada. Instead, look at this headline.
Speaker 1: What is he trying to do? Trump is now announcing
Speaker 1: he is giving serious consideration to renaming Lake Ontario, Lake America.
Speaker 1: In an attempt to rename that lake like he did
Speaker 1: to the Gulf of Mexico, to the Gulf of America,
Speaker 1: he posted on Truth Social an altered map of the lake.
Speaker 1: And he said that the lake is now called Lake Ontario.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's my point, right, folks? That is how
Speaker 1: this petulant child toddler in chief is reacting to this
Speaker 1: war with Canada for tariffs. Y'all, let me know in
Speaker 1: the chat. what the hell is going on and whether
Speaker 1: or not you're going to start feeling the impact of
Speaker 1: this starting September 8th, because I suspect it is going
Speaker 1: to be not so great for us as we continue
Speaker 1: to tick every day, dollar for dollar, $ 100 billion plus
Speaker 1: for the illegal war with Iran, which yes, if you
Speaker 1: were not paying attention, we are still in that illegal
Speaker 1: war with Iran. Let's move on. In the next headline
Speaker 1: in the smorgasbord of stupidity today, measles. Check out this headline.
Speaker 1: Two unvaccinated people have now died from measles in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania is reporting its first measles death in 2026. Two
Speaker 1: unvaccinated people in Pennsylvania have died after contracting measles. These
Speaker 1: are the first deaths that have been reported in the
Speaker 1: United States this year. Those two people are from Lancaster County.
Speaker 1: If any of you are from Pennsylvania and you want
Speaker 1: to add a little bit to what's happening here, please
Speaker 1: chime in and let us know in the chat. So
Speaker 1: Lancaster County has a large Amish population, a community there.
Speaker 1: It's the first measles-related fatalities in 35 years and is
Speaker 1: part of a larger outbreak that is happening in that state.
Speaker 1: Right now, Pennsylvania has more than 390 cases of measles
Speaker 1: across 28 counties. all in people who were not fully vaccinated.
Speaker 1: A third of those affected are under 18 years of age,
Speaker 1: and nearly half are coming from this county in Pennsylvania, Lancaster.
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro made it clear that the illness
Speaker 1: and death are preventable because we have the tools to
Speaker 1: protect the people. Now, here's the crazy thing. The United
Speaker 1: States declared measles to have been eliminated more than 25
Speaker 1: years ago. But now, courtesy of HHA Secretary RFK Jr.
Speaker 1: and his brain worm, we now have declarations as recently as,
Speaker 1: I don't know, last week, that you don't need the measles, mumps,
Speaker 1: and rubella vaccination. You'll recall last week here at Katie
Speaker 1: Fang News, we had the amazing Dr. Vin Gupta to
Speaker 1: talk about why you need vaccinations for your children, especially.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the kids because this is very important.
Speaker 1: In 2025, the U.S. recorded its Highest number of cases
Speaker 1: in a single year since 1991. This July, we have
Speaker 1: already surpassed the 2025 total for measles cases. So far,
Speaker 1: as of now, August 25th, the CDC has reported more
Speaker 1: than 2,700 cases of measles so far this year. Measles
Speaker 1: is highly contagious. It can lead to pneumonia, brain swelling,
Speaker 1: and other short and long-term health problems.
Speaker 2: People.
Speaker 1: It could be easily remedied. I want to actually share
Speaker 1: this with you because public health experts are worried because
Speaker 1: we have now begun the school year and children are
Speaker 1: now going to be having more opportunities to spread measles
Speaker 1: as a virus amongst unvaccinated children. Earlier this month, as
Speaker 1: I mentioned, Trump made these obscene, stupid lie and this
Speaker 1: claim that when you give the MMR vaccine at the
Speaker 1: same time, that it's going to be lethal. And of course,
Speaker 1: RFK Jr. and his brain worm did not correct that,
Speaker 1: did not help that. In fact, they continue to spread
Speaker 1: misinformation about vaccines. This is interesting. RFK Jr. reached out
Speaker 1: to state officials in Pennsylvania this morning to say that
Speaker 1: we'd like to send staff to help you control the outbreak.
Speaker 1: Governor Shapiro said, no, thank you. I was very, very
Speaker 1: blunt with him. According to Governor Shapiro, I made very
Speaker 1: clear your actions and the rhetoric that comes from you
Speaker 1: and this administration are having a negative impact on communities
Speaker 1: across America. particularly in Pennsylvania. Now listen, roughly one in
Speaker 1: five unvaccinated people in the U.S. who contract the virus
Speaker 1: will end up in a hospital. And the virus is
Speaker 1: especially dangerous for children. Up to three out of a
Speaker 1: thousand children will die from measles due to the respiratory
Speaker 1: and neurological complications that they have. So while our kids
Speaker 1: are going back to school, we now have the highest
Speaker 1: number of measles that we've had since I don't know
Speaker 1: how damn long. And you guys know I struggle here
Speaker 1: in Florida because I'm in Florida. Check out the headline
Speaker 1: that just happened today. Florida, and that man on your
Speaker 1: screen is our Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo. He's fucking crazy.
Speaker 1: He now says that the state wants to remove four
Speaker 1: immunizations from entry requirements for children to enter from pre-K
Speaker 1: to grade 12 at both public and private schools. The
Speaker 1: Florida Department of Health is proposing a rule to remove
Speaker 1: hepatitis B, varicella, commonly known as the chickenpox virus, type B,
Speaker 1: influenza type B, and pneumococcal conjugate vaccines in order to
Speaker 1: be able to go to school. As we know right now,
Speaker 1: you have to actually have those vaccines for entry into
Speaker 1: the public schools. There is a religious vaccine exemption right
Speaker 1: now if the immunizations conflict with the religious tenets and
Speaker 1: practices of the child's parent or guardian. But they want
Speaker 1: to just get rid of the need for vaccines, chickenpox people,
Speaker 1: to be able to go to school, both public and private,
Speaker 1: lest you were wondering if that was going to happen
Speaker 1: to you in private schools. Listen to what Dr. Ladapo
Speaker 1: had to say about vaccines. This is what he said
Speaker 1: last September. He said we have to roll back all
Speaker 1: vaccine mandates in the state of Florida. Quote, every last
Speaker 1: one of them is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery.
Speaker 1: Who am I to tell you what your child should
Speaker 1: put in their body? I don't have that right. Your
Speaker 1: body is a gift from God. Shit, you know. In response,
Speaker 1: the American Academy of Pediatrics president, Dr. Susan Cressley, said
Speaker 1: the move will put children at risk of getting sick.
Speaker 1: The AAP believes every family should have access to immunizations
Speaker 1: to keep their community healthy. Schools are an important part
Speaker 1: of that community. We are living in an upside down
Speaker 1: world of craziness that this is happening right now, that
Speaker 1: people are actually dying from measles in 2026. You want
Speaker 1: to know how stupid the smorgasbord is? Take a listen
Speaker 1: to some Trump supporters talk about vaccines. Totally against vaccines.
Speaker 1: You're against vaccines? Absolutely, 100%. All vaccines? Well, every single
Speaker 1: one of them. They're poison. All vaccines are poison?
Speaker 2: Yes, they are.
Speaker 1: What about polio? Polio vaccine? There hasn't been a case
Speaker 1: of polio in how many years? Since 1960? Since the vaccine. Yeah.
Speaker 1: You can't fix stupid, can you? I can't cure stupid.
Speaker 1: I can make sure you don't get measles. Right? But
Speaker 1: I can't cure your stupid. And this is why we
Speaker 1: have This asshole in the White House, right? This, that,
Speaker 1: what you just saw. I mean, it's just the stupidity
Speaker 1: is profound. And please don't come to me and say,
Speaker 1: we can reach those people. We can't reach those people.
Speaker 1: They're beyond, they're beyond reaching. Some good news in the
Speaker 1: Sporgas Board of Stupidity. Do you remember I covered here
Speaker 1: at Katie Fang News yesterday that the father of a
Speaker 1: USS Lincoln sailor who had been taken into immigration detention
Speaker 1: custody by CBP and ICE while his son is working
Speaker 1: 12 hour plus shifts for a 250-day deployment on the
Speaker 1: USS Lincoln that his father had been arrested. A handyman
Speaker 1: in Key West who had been in the U.S. for
Speaker 1: 19 years, who hadn't committed any crimes, and was here
Speaker 1: on a work visa that he got picked up on
Speaker 1: the way to the mechanic with his car. Not in
Speaker 1: a drug den, not committing a crime, not killing anybody,
Speaker 1: not doing any violent crime, driving his car to the mechanic.
Speaker 1: Guess what? He got released from immigration custody. Here's the latest.
Speaker 1: Father of Navy sailor aboard USS Lincoln released from immigration custody. Now,
Speaker 1: here's what's interesting. His son, and thank you for your service,
Speaker 1: Joshua Aviles, posted today on social media that his father
Speaker 1: was released from federal immigration custody. An immigration judge dismissed
Speaker 1: the case just yesterday on Monday against Luis Manuel Aviles.
Speaker 1: and this was just hours after he was booked into
Speaker 1: a detention center here in Miami, an immigration attorney for
Speaker 1: military families, Margaret Stock, telling the news that the rapid
Speaker 1: succession of filed and dismissed charges is, quote, super unusual.
Speaker 1: I'd like to think that because we covered it here
Speaker 1: and because you made such a big public uproar about it,
Speaker 1: that maybe that helped contribute to the case being dismissed.
Speaker 1: I don't know the details, so I don't want to speculate,
Speaker 1: but I'd like to say That if we can channel
Speaker 1: this energy, this outrage that we have, and we can
Speaker 1: do it in a way that uplifts and hopefully be
Speaker 1: able to amplify the stories that we are seeing about
Speaker 1: these detention centers, then maybe that will help. Because this
Speaker 1: was good news. Because it was horrible news that this
Speaker 1: is how we're treating our active service members that are
Speaker 1: doing their duty and their patriotic duty over in the
Speaker 1: USS Lincoln, that we're sending them to die in this
Speaker 1: illegal war against Iran, that we're not treating them properly
Speaker 1: when they do come back because we don't give them
Speaker 1: enough veteran support, and then we're arresting their spouses. and
Speaker 1: their family members, I think that we should always try
Speaker 1: to be able to amplify their stories. Now, back to
Speaker 1: the bad side of the smorgasbord of stupidity, the latest
Speaker 1: in the Kennedy Center litigation. Shout out to my good
Speaker 1: friend and colleague, former Ambassador Norm Eisen at Democracy Defenders,
Speaker 1: who I work with. Here's the latest. According to the
Speaker 1: Trump administration, they told a federal judge today that if
Speaker 1: you don't let that $ 250 million renovation project move forward,
Speaker 1: and if you don't allow Trump's name to be inscribed
Speaker 1: to say thank you as recognition for his role in
Speaker 1: the stuff he's done for the Kennedy Center, without those efforts, quote,
Speaker 1: the center will deteriorate further into an unsafe decrepit structure
Speaker 1: that will be required to be taken down. Look at
Speaker 1: it on your screen. Without those efforts, the center, will
Speaker 1: deteriorate further into an unsafe decrepit structure that will be
Speaker 1: required to be came down with a determination to follow
Speaker 1: what to build on the site, such as a large
Speaker 1: amphitheater overlooking the Potomac river that has been proposed. Such
Speaker 1: a replacement will fail to adequately honor president John F. Kennedy,
Speaker 1: but would be simpler and more economical to build, operate
Speaker 1: and maintain. Folks, I can spot a threat from a
Speaker 1: long ways away. Would you be stupid enough to put
Speaker 1: into writing something that sounds just like felon Trump's language,
Speaker 1: and you would present it to a federal judge? Because remember,
Speaker 1: a federal judge last month said, take the damn man's
Speaker 1: name off of the Kennedy Center. I was just there
Speaker 1: for my hearing in front of Judge Sullivan about a
Speaker 1: week and some change ago, and I was staying about
Speaker 1: very close by to the Kennedy Center, and I went there,
Speaker 1: and the tarp was there, and you still couldn't see
Speaker 1: any confirmation that that asshole's name was taken off the
Speaker 1: outside of the Kennedy Center. But he ruled, this judge ruled,
Speaker 1: that Trump's name had to be taken down. And even
Speaker 1: though the Kennedy Center was appealing this decision, they have
Speaker 1: now made this filing in federal court. That is a threat.
Speaker 1: That if you don't allow his name to stay on it,
Speaker 1: that it's going to be so decrepit that you're going
Speaker 1: to tear it down. I mean, that's how they operate, right?
Speaker 1: It's a mafia. They operate like a mafia. It would
Speaker 1: be sad or unfortunate if something were to happen to
Speaker 1: your wonderful business. So you have to pay... for safety
Speaker 1: and security, right? That's what you have to pay. It's just,
Speaker 1: you know, it's just a little toll that you got
Speaker 1: to pay. The same shit, but it's wild. You wouldn't
Speaker 1: think that they'd be able to do that with a
Speaker 1: federal judge. And yet that's what they put. That's what
Speaker 1: they put in filings these days. That's how brazen they
Speaker 1: are with the corruption because they think that we either
Speaker 1: don't care. They don't think we're paying attention because there's
Speaker 1: so much of it, or they don't think that we're
Speaker 1: able to vote them out of office. They underestimate us
Speaker 1: on all fronts. So That is our smorgasbord of stupidity
Speaker 1: for today, August 25th, 2026. Two things, if you haven't subscribed, subscribed.
Speaker 1: If you haven't gone that way, look, Sydney, I'm doing right.
Speaker 1: Flash that QR code, go and pick up and start
Speaker 1: making sure that you're following us on the pod as well. Again,
Speaker 1: we're on a campaign to hit a million subscribers by
Speaker 1: the end of 2026. But now to the latest, and
Speaker 1: I suspect a lot of you are here to hang
Speaker 1: out with me for this. Let's talk about the latest
Speaker 1: in my lawsuit against Todd Blanche. We've had a flurry
Speaker 1: of activity in the last 24 hours. So here we go.
Speaker 1: As you know, Todd Blanche was supposed to produce unredacted
Speaker 1: handwritten FBI interview notes of a victim who alleges that
Speaker 1: when she was just 13 years of age, that she
Speaker 1: was sexually abused and battered by convicted felon Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: Blanche refuses to turn over those unredacted interview notes. Footnote,
Speaker 1: those unredacted interview notes made it to the internet. They
Speaker 1: were eventually taken down and put back up as redacted.
Speaker 1: But there is some confirmation that they are out there
Speaker 1: in the public ether. I am very well aware of it.
Speaker 1: I talked about it on Substack earlier today. But some
Speaker 1: weird filing made it to the docket in my lawsuit yesterday.
Speaker 1: Let's pull it up. Sydney, and show all of our
Speaker 1: great followers here. It's entitled Defendant's Notice of Appeal. Now,
Speaker 1: here's what's crazy. It says that the defendant respectfully files
Speaker 1: this notice of appeal to the United States Court of
Speaker 1: Appeals for the D.C. Circuit of this court's June 25th,
Speaker 1: 2026 order. And for those of you that have been
Speaker 1: following along, That is the order granting my preliminary injunction
Speaker 1: that ordered Blanche to do and produce a myriad of things.
Speaker 1: Now go back to that notice of appeal because this
Speaker 1: is where this is absurd. In the view of the
Speaker 1: United States, whether the district court's June 25th, 2026 order
Speaker 1: is appealable is, quote, inconclusive. Accordingly, the United States submits
Speaker 1: this protective notice of appeal to the extent that that
Speaker 1: any aspect of the order grants plaintiffs injunctive relief, it
Speaker 1: is immediately appealable under this 28 U.S.
Speaker 2: Code.
Speaker 1: As a lawyer who has practiced for decades, I have
Speaker 1: never filed a notice that says that I don't know
Speaker 1: if I should be filing the notice of appeal. I
Speaker 1: want to remind you that the Department of Justice is
Speaker 1: the largest and most powerful law firm in the world,
Speaker 1: or at least it used to be until it was
Speaker 1: decimated by this administration. But I will tell you, it
Speaker 1: is a humiliating act of professional conduct to file on
Speaker 1: the docket a notice that says that you're not sure
Speaker 1: if you should be appealing or not. Shit, you're not.
Speaker 1: That's exactly what that says. It's inconclusive. In layman's terms,
Speaker 1: I have no idea what I am doing is what
Speaker 1: Todd Blanche is saying, but I'm going to file this
Speaker 1: notice of appeal just in case I get it right.
Speaker 1: I guess this asshole thinks he has a 50-50 chance
Speaker 1: of actually getting it right, that he should be appealing.
Speaker 1: And look, Do I think he should be repealing? It's
Speaker 1: a 60 days from the date of the event that
Speaker 1: theoretically fell on Sunday. So he had until yesterday on
Speaker 1: Monday to do it because under the rules of computation
Speaker 1: and federal court, if the deadline falls on a weekend day, right,
Speaker 1: you can do it on the next business day. But
Speaker 1: what the hell? You don't know if you should be
Speaker 1: filing an appeal. And so what has happened since then
Speaker 1: is they have done this appeal and then the DC
Speaker 1: Circuit Court of Appeals has instructed Blanche to be able
Speaker 1: to basically send things. But here's the thing. There's no stay,
Speaker 1: meaning he hasn't gotten a pause from the appellate court
Speaker 1: to comply with what Judge Sullivan ordered him to do. Sydney,
Speaker 1: can we pull up that minute order from the docket
Speaker 1: and show our folks here? On August 21st, Judge Sullivan said,
Speaker 1: in light of Katie Fang's notice of proposed order and
Speaker 1: notice regarding Hampton FBI interview notes, the defendant, Todd Blanche,
Speaker 1: shall submit a response by no later than August 27th
Speaker 1: and plaintiff, which is me, shall submit a reply no
Speaker 1: later than September 3rd, 2026. And for those of you
Speaker 1: that may not recall this happening last week, I filed
Speaker 1: a notice of a proposed order that should have Todd
Speaker 1: Blanche sign a sworn declaration as to how he went
Speaker 1: about doing a redaction log in this case. But I
Speaker 1: also filed a notice to the court that called out
Speaker 1: Blanche for being a liar about the submission or the
Speaker 1: publication of of handwritten FBI notes that had been redacted.
Speaker 1: As you recall, his lawyer, Andrew Block, came to court
Speaker 1: at that status hearing. And when asked by Judge Sullivan, well,
Speaker 1: have you published any handwritten interview notes from the FBI
Speaker 1: that had been redacted? Block said, no, I don't think so.
Speaker 1: And that was not true. In fact, we gave specific
Speaker 1: concrete examples to the tune of more than 100. And
Speaker 1: we filed that with the court. And that was the
Speaker 1: judge's response. He was pissed. He said, in light of
Speaker 1: what Ms. Fang has said, which is correcting the record
Speaker 1: because you made an affirmative misrepresentation, I need you to
Speaker 1: be able to file a response. And you got to
Speaker 1: be able to give over these notes. So I ask you,
Speaker 1: if you think you're in the right and you think
Speaker 1: you haven't done anything wrong, and if you think you're
Speaker 1: in full compliance, why are you appealing? It is more
Speaker 1: efforts to conceal, cover up, and hide. It's more efforts
Speaker 1: for them to not give what they're supposed to be
Speaker 1: doing pursuant to the Epstein Files Transparency Act. And that
Speaker 1: is a problem because until you get a stay from
Speaker 1: the court, you got to comply with the court's orders.
Speaker 1: And I don't see the appellate court entering a stay.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen them ask for a stay. And I
Speaker 1: certainly haven't seen them ask for a stay from Judge Sullivan,
Speaker 1: at least in the last 24 hours. So there's a
Speaker 1: lot of bizarre activity, like I said, happening on the
Speaker 1: docket in my case. I wanted to make sure that
Speaker 1: you had it. I haven't talked about it yet. In fact,
Speaker 1: you guys are the very first people with whom I'm
Speaker 1: having this conversation. So I wanted to make sure that
Speaker 1: I saw what was the end of this activity, which
Speaker 1: I think was the end of them doing it for now.
Speaker 1: Haven't seen an actual appeal being filed. Haven't seen them
Speaker 1: try to get an administrative stay or anything of that nature.
Speaker 1: So I'll keep you posted, folks. But for now, they're
Speaker 1: not even sure if they should be appealing in the
Speaker 1: first instance. I don't really find that to be reassuring.
Speaker 1: He's supposed to be the attorney general for the people,
Speaker 1: but he's not. Here's the other headline that's Epstein related,
Speaker 1: and this is very important. Pull this one up, please.
Speaker 1: Judge rejects Glenn Maxwell's request to overturn her conviction. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm going to pull this up for you because this
Speaker 1: is important. Judge Paul Engelmayer, who has been the presiding
Speaker 1: judge over Glenn Maxwell's criminal case from the Southern District
Speaker 1: of New York, was ruling, and this is what the
Speaker 1: denial is, on Glenn Maxwell's motion to basically overturn her conviction.
Speaker 1: And I want to read what he said. It's a
Speaker 1: long opinion in order. It's 67 pages. And I'm going
Speaker 1: to do some details of it tomorrow here at Katie
Speaker 1: Fang News. But I wanted to make sure you got
Speaker 1: this breaking news tonight. Judge Inglemayer says that Glenn Maxwell
Speaker 1: has challenged her five felony convictions, quote, all arising from
Speaker 1: her participation with the notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The judge's
Speaker 1: own words. in the sexual abuse of young girls over
Speaker 1: the course of a decade. On December 29th, 2021, the
Speaker 1: jury convicted Maxwell of those offenses based on trial evidence
Speaker 1: of her guilt that was overwhelming. It included the testimony
Speaker 1: of multiple victims recounting abuse by Epstein and Maxwell, plus
Speaker 1: extensive corroborative evidence, documentary and testimonial. On June 28th, 2022,
Speaker 1: the Honorable Allison J. Nathan, who presided over that trial,
Speaker 1: sentenced Maxwell principally to a term of 20 years of imprisonment.
Speaker 1: The Second Circuit then affirmed Maxwell's conviction and sentence, and
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court later denied her petition for certiorari. Maxwell,
Speaker 1: heretofore represented by able counsel, now moves pro se to
Speaker 1: vacate her conviction and sentence. Her claims are all meritless
Speaker 1: and all or almost all are frivolous. The vast majority
Speaker 1: are procedurally barred, either because she made and lost those
Speaker 1: same arguments on direct appeal, or because she could have
Speaker 1: made these arguments on appeal but chose not to do so.
Speaker 1: And the purported new evidence, which she points to, principally
Speaker 1: materials released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, is largely
Speaker 1: irrelevant to the charges against Maxwell and does not support
Speaker 1: her claims. On the contrary, to the extent they're relevant,
Speaker 1: far from exculpating her, it actually incriminates her or reinforces
Speaker 1: the correctness of the legal rulings Maxwell challenges. The court
Speaker 1: accordingly denies Maxwell's petition. This is really important, people. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you why. For the longest of time, there
Speaker 1: was an inability to be able to access a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff that was going on with Maxwell's case file.
Speaker 1: And as I covered here last week, you heard that
Speaker 1: parts of that case file were unsealed by another judge
Speaker 1: named Loretta Preska, including grand jury records that were provided
Speaker 1: by the the SDNY, for purposes of indicting Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 1: This is now the denial of this post-conviction motion that
Speaker 1: was done by Glenn Maxwell pro se, meaning she didn't
Speaker 1: use her lawyers to do it, which she has. She
Speaker 1: did it on her own. This now is the nail
Speaker 1: in the coffin of this appeals process for her. And look,
Speaker 1: could she continue to try to do it?
Speaker 2: Sure.
Speaker 1: But when these things happen and when these types of
Speaker 1: challenges are denied, it puts a finality to it She's
Speaker 1: still serving her sentence, albeit at club fed in Texas,
Speaker 1: courtesy of Attorney General Todd Blanche. But it also means
Speaker 1: that access to this information becomes easier. Caveat, who holds
Speaker 1: this information? The DOJ. So as we learned from the
Speaker 1: unsealing of records last week, in large part to the
Speaker 1: valiant efforts of Julie Brown and the Miami Herald to
Speaker 1: get those things unsealed, the DOJ holds a lot of
Speaker 1: those records. But in this instance, can't ever say, if
Speaker 1: you're Glenn Maxwell, that you can object to more of
Speaker 1: these records being put out because you had a pending
Speaker 1: motion and that it might impact in some negative way
Speaker 1: your attempts to get relief. I hope you people understand
Speaker 1: that it may seem like this is taking a while,
Speaker 1: which it does, right? I mean, we're talking about a
Speaker 1: woman who went to trial back in 2021 and was
Speaker 1: sentenced in 2022. But we are chipping away, chipping away
Speaker 1: at this wall that they've put up around this information.
Speaker 1: My lawsuit, these types of things, the lawsuit from Julie
Speaker 1: Brown and the Herald and others, this is how we
Speaker 1: chip away at it. And the more access to the
Speaker 1: information we get, the better that we're able to cross reference, right?
Speaker 1: And sleuth on our own and put together all of
Speaker 1: this information so that you can get it and that
Speaker 1: the victims and the survivors can get it. And that
Speaker 1: we can call out the people that were complicit with
Speaker 1: Epstein Maxwell and others, because what has Todd Blanche done?
Speaker 1: He's made it clear that he's letting people self-identify as victims,
Speaker 1: either themselves or through counsel. which means we're at the
Speaker 1: point where everybody will self-identify as a victim and we'll
Speaker 1: never have anybody to prosecute or investigate, right? So this
Speaker 1: is a big, big piece of news that I'm sharing
Speaker 1: with you about Glenn Maxwell's motion being denied. Yes, we
Speaker 1: are never going to stop. We are not going to stop.
Speaker 1: What we are going to do right now is, and
Speaker 1: you're going to stay with me because I have some
Speaker 1: more news on the other side. We are going to
Speaker 1: hear from a few of our sponsors for Katie Fang News.
Speaker 1: We are grateful for them. love their products, and we're
Speaker 1: grateful that they support us because it helps me do
Speaker 1: my job. It helps me be here with you as
Speaker 1: an independent journalist to take a quick listen to our
Speaker 1: amazing sponsors of Katie Fang News. Party holding the information
Speaker 1: almost never volunteers it. That's true in a courtroom and
Speaker 1: it's true in your mailbox. So I want to be
Speaker 1: very clear about something. Most Medicare agents get paid more
Speaker 1: for putting you in certain plans over others. They have
Speaker 1: an incentive to steer you and most people have no
Speaker 1: idea it's happening. A woman in Indiana went to the
Speaker 1: company she'd worked with for years and asked for a
Speaker 1: lower price. They ran her through medical underwriting and denied her.
Speaker 1: What they never mentioned was a rule in her state
Speaker 1: that would have let her switch with no medical questions
Speaker 1: at all. A chapter advisor found it. Same coverage, about
Speaker 1: half the price. That's exactly why chapter exists. Independent Medicare advisors,
Speaker 1: the only Medicare advisors that compare every plan nationwide. They
Speaker 1: look at your doctors, your prescriptions, your life to show
Speaker 1: you what plan fits best. If you're already on the
Speaker 1: right plan, they'll tell you directly. If you're not, they'll
Speaker 1: help you switch. Seniors who found Better Fitting Plans with

Speaker 1: just wanted to close out today at Katie Fang News
Speaker 1: Sidebar Live with a tribute to Dolly Parton. You know,
Speaker 1: this year has been a challenge and this sucks to
Speaker 1: say that Dolly Parton has now left us at the
Speaker 1: age of 80. For those of you that are didn't
Speaker 1: know she was the queen of country music and somebody
Speaker 1: that had this self-deprecating humor and was larger than life,
Speaker 1: although she was tiny. I met her in the halls
Speaker 1: of Telemundo when she did a New Year's Eve special
Speaker 1: with Miley Cyrus. And she was tinier than me. And
Speaker 1: she was just jaw-droppingly beautiful. It was just one of
Speaker 1: those incredible moments. But I wanted to play... part of
Speaker 1: an interview that she did where she talked about her
Speaker 1: support for the LGBTQ plus community. I want you to
Speaker 1: listen to her own words because I feel like it'll
Speaker 1: give you some context of the kind of person that
Speaker 1: she is because she was an advocate fiercely for all
Speaker 1: the right things. Take a listen.
Speaker 2: I keep saying, well, if you're the fine Christian that
Speaker 2: you think you are, why are you judging people? That's
Speaker 2: God's job. We're not God. We're not judges. We're supposed
Speaker 2: to love one another. We're supposed to not judge. And
Speaker 2: we're not supposed to take vengeance on other people. That's
Speaker 2: God's job. So I, I got too much to do
Speaker 2: my own, try to do God's work too. I mean,
Speaker 2: not to, you know, to get into trying to do
Speaker 2: all that. So yeah, I have to, I suffer for
Speaker 2: everything I do. I'm not out to make any, you know,
Speaker 2: I just think that we.
Speaker 1: Should be more loving, more caring. We are who we are.
Speaker 1: If you're gay, you're gay. If you're straight, you're straight.
Speaker 2: And you should be allowed to be, you know, how,
Speaker 2: how you are and who you are. Right.
Speaker 1: Who are we to judge? I mean, it was really
Speaker 1: beautiful for her to share that sentiment. She was a
Speaker 1: huge advocate spending so much money to support causes. Just
Speaker 1: really a huge loss. Her family saying that she died
Speaker 1: peacefully today, August 25th in Nashville at the age of 80.
Speaker 1: They have not released a cause of death. She had
Speaker 1: been reportedly having some health issues, things that were causing
Speaker 1: her dehydration and dizziness, for example. She wasn't able to
Speaker 1: do her six shows in December of 2025 at a
Speaker 1: residency at Vegas' Caesars Palace. And even as recently as
Speaker 1: this year, she was an active participant in some projects,
Speaker 1: but she was unable to make some appearances. But by
Speaker 1: her own admission, she was, you know, trying hard to
Speaker 1: be able to do them. Did you know that many
Speaker 1: of her 25 number one country singles were self-penned? This
Speaker 1: woman was incredibly talented. She acted in movies. Y'all remember
Speaker 1: her from 9 to 5. The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
Speaker 1: How about Steel Magnolias? That movie, when it comes on,
Speaker 1: I will sit down and watch. It's one of those
Speaker 1: that I will never pass by. I didn't know this,
Speaker 1: but Dolly Parton was also a producer. She had producer credits.
Speaker 1: In partnership with her former manager, Sandy Gallen, she, as
Speaker 1: in Dolly Parton, launched the hit TV series, Buffy the
Speaker 1: Vampire Slayer. And the Steve Martin, Diane Keaton series, The
Speaker 1: Father of the Bride movies. Also starring my good friend
Speaker 1: BD Wong, if you'll recall him in those, as well
Speaker 1: as Martin Short. But I did not know that, that
Speaker 1: she was a producer of those movies and TV series.
Speaker 1: Her theme park, Dollywood, let me know in the chat
Speaker 1: if you actually went there at Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, not
Speaker 1: far from her rural home of Silverville. She was inducted
Speaker 1: into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1999, joined
Speaker 1: the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1986 and the
Speaker 1: Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2001. She was a National
Speaker 1: Medal of Arts honoree in 2005 and a Kennedy Center
Speaker 1: Honors recipient in 2006 when it was the real Kennedy Center.
Speaker 1: Born the fourth of 12 children in poverty. She was
Speaker 1: born January 19th, 1946. She was raised in a Pentecostal
Speaker 1: Church of God in an incredibly religious and musical family.
Speaker 1: She began performing as a child. She performed on the
Speaker 1: Grand Ole Opry stage when she was just a teenager.
Speaker 1: She logged more than half a dozen number one singles
Speaker 1: through the end of the 70s. You may recall Islands
Speaker 1: in the Stream with the great Kenny Rogers, as well
Speaker 1: as the Bee Gees with Barry Gibb producing that song
Speaker 1: And in her later years, she and her charity, Dollywood Foundation,
Speaker 1: were active in several charitable works, encouraging literacy, the Imagination
Speaker 1: Literacy Foundation that she did, and she combated the spread
Speaker 1: of HIV and AIDS. Her husband, Carl Dean, died in
Speaker 1: March of 2025, last year at the age of 82.
Speaker 1: The family has asked if you are interested to make donations, please.
Speaker 1: to her imagination library, which she said was a huge contributor.
Speaker 1: She did it because of her late father, the imagination
Speaker 1: library being something that she thought was incredibly important. I
Speaker 1: wanted to just leave y'all with a couple of quotes
Speaker 1: from the Tao of Talia, as the Rolling Stone is
Speaker 1: calling it. She said, I always count my blessings more
Speaker 1: than I count my money. I don't work for money,
Speaker 1: never did. It was the art. It was the job.
Speaker 1: I loved the work and I've done well and I'm
Speaker 1: thankful for it. She said, my dream was always to
Speaker 1: make as many people happy as I could in this life.
Speaker 1: She also said, of course, black lives matter. Do you
Speaker 1: think our little white asses are the only ones that matter? No.
Speaker 1: She also said, I look totally artificial, but I am
Speaker 1: totally real as a writer, as a professional, as a
Speaker 1: human being. A rhinestone shines just as good as a diamond.
Speaker 1: She said, I joke with God. He don't ever say
Speaker 1: nothing back. And when asked, what are your favorite names?
Speaker 1: What do you think she said? Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene.
Speaker 1: And then I'll leave you with this last one. She
Speaker 1: told Oprah, I ain't never going to be old because
Speaker 1: I ain't got time to be old. I can't stop
Speaker 1: long enough to grow old. I'm just going to be
Speaker 1: the best I can be at whatever age I am.
Speaker 1: May she rest in power, Dolly Parton. leaving us at
Speaker 1: the age of 80, the queen of country music. Folks,
Speaker 1: let's be the best that we can be at whatever
Speaker 1: age we are, and let's make sure that we do
Speaker 1: our best every day. Thanks for joining me here at
