Rational Boomer Podcast

The fact that Russia, unprovoked attacked Ukraine, a peaceful country isn't bad enough. But apparently it's not. The atrocities that the Russian military has committed  on Ukraine civilians are horrific. This is some World War II shit. Let's get into it.

Kyle Rittenhouse is feeling neglected. His 15 minutes of fame was up a year ago but he still thinks he's deserving of more attention. Not to mention an audience with President Biden. Let's get into it.

Monday will be the start of of the voting to confirm Katanji Brown Jackson to a seat on the Supreme Court. The House of Representatives will vote on Monday and they will vote to confirm. Shortly after the Senate will vote. It will be tighter than the House but she will clear the Senate. Then we will have our very first Black woman sitting on our Supreme Court. Let's get into it.

Well this is kind of an extra show. On this show I have my very first guest. Now this is a special guest. His name is Ed Jones and I've known him for some time. In fact I spent a long time working with him on the radio in the Twin Cities. He epitomizes a Rational Boomer and he's got a lot of interesting insights, stories and points of view. Give me some feedback on this show. It's likely Ed will b...

Things are going very badly for Vladimir Putin and Russia in the war with Ukraine. The question is, does Putin even know this? The theory is that his people may be afraid of giving him bad news. Afraid for their own safety. Let's get into it.

With the release of the White House logs we found out there is a big blank space in that log. Now we find out there was a call made by Donald Trump on an official White House during that time period. Which should have showed up on the log. Interestingly enough it didn't. Let's get into it.

The White House phone log from January 6th has been released. But the log is not complete. This is weird. There is a 7 hours and 37 minutes blank stretch in the log. Which is unusual given that the Insurrection was happening during that same time period. Let's get into it.

We've got some emails that we will sort through and a lot happening in the news. Two more Trumplican cult members are being referred to the Department of Justice for Criminal Contempt. A federal judge has found that former President Trump was "more than likely" guilty of Obstruction in the 2020 election. Let's get into it.

From the "slap heard around the world" on the Oscars to entitled politicians that have a problem with the truth, we are living in disconcerting times. Let's get into it.

Republican Senator proves that he has absolutely no credibility and Donald Trump showcases his oratory and intellectual skills and proves he is an utter idiot. Let's get into it.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine is not going well. They are running out of supplies and they can't break through Ukrainian defenses. So they announce the first phase of the war is over. So now they are going to focus on Eastern Ukraine more specifically the independent states that Putin identified. This isn't the next phase. This is a retreat. Let's get into it.

Simply stated, the wife of a sitt Supreme Court Justice attempts to over throw our government. Could be a little conflict of interest. Not to mention a crime. Let's get into it.

The rats are jumping the Trump Titanic. Trump endorsed Mo Brooks in his upcoming election. But when he was in third in his primary Trump pulled his endorsement from brooks and endorsed the leader. Mo Brooks got angry and started spilling the tea. Let's get into it.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine is not going well. Vladimir Putin is frustrated and embarrassed because he's losing. Republicans are doing anything and everything they can to discredit Ketanji Brown Jackson in her confirmation hearing for Supreme Court Justice. The problem is that none of the quasi lawyers in the Senate are absolutely no match Ketanji Brown Jackson. She is a brilliant jurist and a wo...

We deal with several emails from listeners and one is calling me out. Should be interesting. The Confirmation Hearing for a new Supreme Court Justice has begun. This will be an historical confirmation and this nominee is the most qualified nominee in history. Let's get into it.

Like the previous Rational Boomer Podcast this will be a departure from what you normally. Now  we will go back to our regularly scheduled programming in the next podcast. Give it a listen.

This Rational Boomer Podcast will be different than any other. I'm not going to tell you what it's about. We will leave it as a surprise. Let's get into it.

I've said that I'm neither Democratic or a Republican. So people ask me, so what am I. Here's the thing. I don't join clubs. I don't distinguish political candidates by their parties. I distinguish them by the contact of their character. To borrow a quote from Martin Luther King. Let's get into it.

Vladimir Putin is on a long streak of miscalculations and mistakes. Now he's "Jumped the Shark". A reference only we old folks will get. Anyway he's issued his own sanctions against President Biden, Vice President Harris, Secretary of State Blinken and others. The problem is those sanctions do absolutely nothing. Let's get into it.

Since invading Ukraine the problems are mounting on Vladimir Putin. It's becoming quite a burden. Now because of all the sanctions there's yet another big problem that is imminent. Russians are on the verge of defaulting on their foreign debt. Let's get into it.

Russia thought they would have an easy time when they invaded Ukraine. Much to their surprise, Ukrainians were tougher and had more resolve than they imagined. Russia is now looking for help. They are begging Belarus and even China to help out. Let's get into it.

Russia is claiming that America and Ukraine have chemical weapons plants in Ukraine. Which is absolutely a lie. But this is what they do. It's about gaslighting and projecting. When they use chemical weapons on Ukraine then he has some cover and someone to blame. Let's get into it.

The U.S. and European countries are sanctioning the hell out of Russia and it is economically crippling the country. As much as we might like to get in the fight and help the Ukrainians we can't because than we would be in World War III. That said we hold a lot of power over Russia. We could literally destroy Russia economically. With that power we need to have the courage to demand everything to...

For months we've been sitting on the precipice of a government shutdown. We've even had a couple extensions. But the House and the Senate passed a $1.5 trillion dollar budget Bill. Within that Bill that have voted for $14 billion dollars for aid to Ukraine. Let's get into it

So I got a lot of emails and one voicemail from listeners so we spend the first half of the program addressing them. I truly enjoy hearing from listeners your input is important to the program. You can always reach out to me at rationalboomer@gmail.com. Let's get into it
