Head-ON with Roxanne Kincaid – May 5, 2025
“America’s only liberal transbilly elitist” is back with fiery commentary, fundraising updates, listener calls, and blistering takedowns of Trump-world.
Health & Travel: Roxanne shares an emotional update on her recovery from facial surgery, with an early CT scan scheduled at Duke. Facing a possible second surgery, she details her solo travel plans and worries — and underscores why listener support is vital.
Fundraising: May’s goal is $550. Cat in Ohio kicks off a $50 matching challenge, joined by Jeremy and Jude. Funds cover show costs and essential travel for medical care.
Stalker Alert: Roxanne reveals disturbing threats from a cisgender woman spewing transphobic vitriol and death wishes. The host, no stranger to hate since her transition, took legal action — now involving the WV State Police. The incident is a raw look at how hate and misogyny collide.
The MAGAT Menagerie:
Trump, aka “Nitwit Nero,” comes under sharp attack for a string of bizarre moments:
-
An AI image of himself as the Pope,
-
Confusing Harvard with Harlem,
-
Misrepresenting Supreme Court rulings,
-
Suggesting American kids only need 2 dolls,
-
Flubbing Civil Rights Act history,
-
Praising his own wall that doesn’t exist.
Roxanne and listeners shred MAGAT lies, from calling Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett “low IQ” to defunding general officers in a Stalinist purge. Also on blast: Marjorie Taylor Greene (the “Trailer Queen”), Pam Bondi (“Pam Blondie”), and their dangerous rhetoric toward judges and migrants. Ryan Goodman joins via clip to analyze the twisted legal maneuvers.
Economy & Reality Check:
Clarence, a trucker and long-time listener, calls in with real-world insight: freight is down, MAGAT hats are disappearing, UPS is laying off workers, and the economy is cracking — especially for small owner-operators. He rips Trump’s empty promises on manufacturing and salutes Kamala Harris for pension protections.
Law, Cops & Queer Bars:
Coverage of a disturbing raid on Ptown Bar in Pittsburgh during a drag show links today’s police overreach to Stonewall and Compton’s Cafeteria. Roxanne sees echoes of the past — but also resilience. The mayor pledges a review, and the queens didn’t back down.
Immigration & Lies:
The administration’s plan to pay undocumented migrants $1,000 to leave is mocked. Rep. Crockett claps back with real data. MAGAT disinfo from Steven Miller gets dismantled.
Pop Culture & Sarcasm:
-
A Met Gala mention.
-
Snarky reading of People magazine’s puff piece on Caroline Levitt’s May-December marriage.
-
Trump’s “human battery” theory of exercise sparks laughs and concern.
-
A literary quote from The Great Gatsby becomes this month’s challenge.
Bottom Line:
Resilience, reality, and resistance. Roxanne faces medical hurdles and real threats, but refuses to back down. MAGATs get exposed, listeners show up, and the truth gets a mic.
