Up The Middle : But the Drag Queens / Take Him Anyway...We start with Barack Obama's Successor and one of his biggest fans, Kevin Hurley. He was one of the biggest opponents to drag queens, because apparently they "groom" young children into being gay. Well....This story of "Projection" comes to us from Adult Film Producer and FAMOUS drag queen, Chi Chi Larue. Thanks, Chi Chi!This spills into Yergz discussing "Lawfare" and the (yes, again) hypocrisy of the MAGA Right.But the drag queens....Then we discuss what the government, and the country, is coming to. And, what the government is doing to get us there. Kidnapping, Trafficking, false imprisonment and outright lying and coverups... And that's just SOME of the Department of "Justice...."Next, we realize one of the issues plaguing this "Administration" is that the "adults," as they were known during Trump 1.0, aren't in the room anymore. There is no one there to keep "President" Trump under control or in check. The only two that seem to be a repeat from 1.0 have no interest in the old status quo.Finally, we wrap up this episode with the story of a young 19-year old who was taken by ICE - mistakenly - and is still in custody. And it's NOT Abrego Garcia! But yet after being slandered and dissed by this "president," no one from the "legacy media" wants to be a real journalist and fire back.First Amendment, here come us independents!

Yergz takes 4 minutes and 20 seconds (4:20!) to update you on the future episodes that we hope you'll enjoy more than the current longer episodes.Each episode will still be recorded from a live, two-hour broadcast that will be weekdays at 11am ET, available primarily at Yergz.com for video format, and Yergz.Radio for audio-only, among other destinations. These will remain due to 1) the type of audience that prefers the live show, and 2) to continue the opportunities for the live fan interaction.But YouTube and podcast episodes will be edited for content, meaning that we'll spare you the boring stuff! That also means that each two hour episode will be, for example four, thirty-minute episodes, that you can continue to watch at your convenience and leisure.With that, we'll see you on the airwaves!Keep Talking!-Yergz
