It's Friday, May 16th, 2025. A Friday five-pack of what's trending, including a casual incitement of violence against President Trump.

A congressman pleads for some fiscal sanity and ask or tell me anything next on the AM update.

Made it through another week. May 16th, I can't believe it's over halfway through may i don't know

about you but seems like this month has just shot by so far as always i'd ask if you enjoy the a m update

wherever you listen whether it's it's itunes for most of you Spotify for any more of you

wherever you're listening, whatever podcast platform,

give me a five-star review, and just thank you for listening.

As I said, over halfway through the month of May, so far this year, there have been 100 weekdays.

100 weekdays, I have just on this platform, on this channel, I have published 119 items

of content. So 100 weekdays, and that's counting federal holidays as well, and other holidays,

and I've published 119 pieces of content, almost 50 hours of content so far this year, just on this platform.

You know, I was asked a couple of weeks ago, hey, who actually chooses the ads that run on

iTunes? And I said a ferret on meth, because that is who chooses. If you are on iTunes and

you're sick of the ads,

five bucks a month,

you can subscribe to the premium edition of the AM update

and get rid of those ads.

If they just drive you nuts,

as I'm sure sometimes they do.

So appreciate your support.

Nevertheless, just by listening.

Let's get into it.
