about

Commentary on whether we should feel sorry for Donald Trump after he contracted the covid-19 virus in October of 2020. Commentary by the author Namoi Klein from Democracy Now! Also, a couple of tongue-in-cheek pieces by a couple of youtube humorists who are pretending to be pro-Trump, and kind of making fun. The first one is named Brent Terhune and his youtube channel is here:

The name of the second fake Trump-fan we have lost track of but after that we hear commentary from Cenk Uygur of 'The Young Turks' which we have mixed with the music from The Rolling Stones song 'Sympathy For The Devil'. Directly after this, we hear the song 'When Will You DIe?' by They Might Be Giants (TMBG) which is a reprise of the cover of this song by Meri Amber.

The song When Will You Die? by TMBG is used here as an inspired and relevant cultural reference in this work, and has been telescoped by NCN in such a way as to be imperceptible to the casual first-time listener and so that we do not intrude on the owner of this song's copyright of the original song. It is our hope that if you like this song, the listeners of our program purchase the original version of it from official sources and support TMBG and her work.
