[SPEAKER_08]: Good evening, Jody.
[SPEAKER_04]: Good evening, sir.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's Friday.
[SPEAKER_08]: We made it.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's been a long week.
[SPEAKER_08]: And of course, you know, it's one of those things your cat is here hanging out.
[SPEAKER_04]: She's demanding to, you know, tension because she wants to step on the computer that's recording the podcast version of the show.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, no, no, kitty.
[SPEAKER_08]: No, don't, don't, don't, don't step on that stuff.
[SPEAKER_04]: She's watching us now.
[SPEAKER_04]: She can see us on the computer right now and she's like,
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, well, that's good.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm glad we're gonna be able to be seen on computers.
[SPEAKER_08]: We'll get the video thing very very soon.
[SPEAKER_08]: We still have a couple hoops.
[SPEAKER_08]: We have to jump through.
[SPEAKER_08]: By the way, thank you for all of you who are listening on our radio affiliates from wherever you happen to be.
[SPEAKER_08]: Whether that is WCPT AMA 20 in Chicago.
[SPEAKER_08]: Maybe you are listening on AM-950 Minneapolis Saint Paul.
[SPEAKER_08]: Maybe you're listening to the detour talk in Tennessee or Georgia now in Atlanta.
[SPEAKER_08]: Hi, Georgia.
[SPEAKER_08]: Hello, Georgia.
[SPEAKER_08]: Or maybe you're listening on progressive voices radio wherever you happen to be or maybe
[SPEAKER_08]: maybe you are one of those future people in which case thank you for subscribing to the podcast however it is whether it's on your phone or maybe you're paying to subscribe six bucks a month real cheap at the politics bar.com
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay, Joni, we've been kind of teasing this and put stuff out on socials for a while.
[SPEAKER_08]: They dated a huge day today because among other things, we have Karen and Anita, which, you know, that's always, it's a big day when they come here because we always love to hang out there.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're amazing.
[SPEAKER_08]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_08]: But we also have to have this guy.
[SPEAKER_08]: He's a friend of a number of friends that I've had.
[SPEAKER_08]: He's a well-friend of yours.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think the best thing to do is just let him introduce himself for the little piece that he did here just the other day.
[SPEAKER_10]: So the big guy in the White House, if he would take some personal advice, you've got to realize, sir, that you are the biggest
[SPEAKER_10]: And Sarah, you stop there.
[SPEAKER_10]: You stop listening to all these people around you.
[SPEAKER_10]: These sick offens who are encouraging you to be your non-human self, right?
[SPEAKER_10]: Get in touch with that humanity.
[SPEAKER_10]: Stop fussing with your hair.
[SPEAKER_10]: Don't worry about your pile.
[SPEAKER_02]: She's talking about me.
[SPEAKER_10]: End up straight and speak clearly, not from your throat.
[SPEAKER_10]: Speak from your heart.
[SPEAKER_10]: and start being human.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's what you were made for, not golf.
[SPEAKER_10]: So there you are, Mr. President.
[SPEAKER_10]: We're all doing respect, sir.
[SPEAKER_08]: He's the best.
[SPEAKER_08]: Martin Schene, aka President Bartlett's, yes, he will be here a little bit later this evening.
[SPEAKER_08]: So that's pretty cool.
[SPEAKER_08]: He's got a brand new podcast coming out of this.
[SPEAKER_08]: MSW Media, who also does our podcast.
[SPEAKER_04]: They do, so we are very, we are very, we are very, we are.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm glad they were all hooked up together.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, it's very cool.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's Martin and his daughter Renee, and all kinds of fun stuff.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, he reads poetry and talks about his life.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's a whole, I mean, I listen to him read the phone book, but yeah, exactly, I mean, I would do.
[SPEAKER_08]: But, you know, in his kind of reflections on things, and I'm sure kind of his, I mean, he's not hiding who he is.
[SPEAKER_08]: He's always been a very outspoken liberal.
[SPEAKER_08]: He has been arrested.
[SPEAKER_08]: What did I see?
[SPEAKER_08]: I look this up 66 times in the move.
[SPEAKER_04]: Now the first when the when we all were in Hollywood when the Iraq war started, right?
[SPEAKER_04]: He was at the front of the line.
[SPEAKER_04]: I was way back.
[SPEAKER_04]: I was did not know him yet.
[SPEAKER_08]: I was in the way back of the line, but he was in the front of the line with the banners, you know, and it was like, dude, you know, he's he's not, I mean, he doesn't he isn't shy about that, but it's also some of some of the characters that he's played have not exactly been him.
[SPEAKER_08]: See the dead zone.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yes, that's exactly the one I was thinking of.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, that particular that that president in the dead zone, which it's it's a great Stephen King story, but he did great.
[SPEAKER_08]: Pretty good job of that and that guy is a lot like Trump obviously.
[SPEAKER_08]: Martin is nothing like that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Not at all.
[SPEAKER_04]: He's just I've had the pleasure of hanging out with him a few times and he's just a deer.
[SPEAKER_04]: So it's just lovely bride and his daughter.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know
[SPEAKER_08]: And we will we will get to talking about the no kings rallies, which we're very, very glad.
[SPEAKER_08]: We're very glad that, you know, we've been working with the invisible folks getting that information out there to you guys.
[SPEAKER_08]: You know, obviously we'll talk about that and of course the, you know, Trump Republican shutdown and his.
[SPEAKER_08]: ugly attacks on the country although there's a lot of good news in there that a lot of people have been fighting back and it's been interesting so we'll get to all of that but obviously since Martin's going to be here when i talk a little bit about what he's doing and and you have said that you you've called him uncle martin before
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, it became that, okay, so when I first met Martin Sheen and his lovely bride Janet Sheen, I drove to their house with a manuscript of Malcolm Nance's book because Uncle Martin was going to write the forward.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: And so my plan was just to drive to their house, drop it off and then head home.
[SPEAKER_04]: And they're like, no, no, no, come in.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I want to have later.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm heading home.
[SPEAKER_04]: And his there, just the sweetest humans.
[SPEAKER_04]: And they're like, eat, munch.
[SPEAKER_04]: You think they're Italian.
[SPEAKER_04]: And
[SPEAKER_04]: But if he's got Irish, he's Irish, yes, and so, and that's the first time I met Renee, she was coming in and I nice to meet you, you know, is leaving.
[SPEAKER_04]: And so that was the first time I met them, and then I had still difficult.
[SPEAKER_04]: Aunt Jan, it's phone number in my phone.
[SPEAKER_04]: okay and so she takes me okay every now and then political stuff whatever and she texted me about six or seven months ago and it was a picture of my mom and Julie Andrews and I said oh that's my aunt Julie she goes, is that your biological aunt?
[SPEAKER_04]: I said no no no she's just my mom's best friend and blah blah blah and she was like well then why don't you call me aunt Janet and Martin Uncle Martin
[SPEAKER_04]: because I kept calling them Mr. Mrs. Sheen because that's how I was raised.
[SPEAKER_08]: We've talked about that before.
[SPEAKER_04]: Did you get your manual?
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, it was like, I can't, he wants, he and his wife are like, please, I can't do it.
[SPEAKER_08]: We're very respectful.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think people, we tend to, which is why sometimes when there's a lack of respect for somebody like Trump, I mean, we notice.
[SPEAKER_04]: I can call him Donald every.
[SPEAKER_04]: To go to the moon.
[SPEAKER_08]: We go back usually.
[SPEAKER_08]: We do not usually call him pressy.
[SPEAKER_08]: I didn't like Bush.
[SPEAKER_08]: I definitely didn't like Dick Cheney.
[SPEAKER_08]: No, it's like all I'm getting.
[SPEAKER_08]: But there are times when I would still call him president Bush, of course, you'd still respect there's nothing absolutely nothing that I respect by Donald Trump same nothing so I don't have that and I know you don't have that either.
[SPEAKER_08]: So it's it's it's a lack it's some sometimes people don't necessarily you know understand.
[SPEAKER_08]: But yeah, so it's one of those things people don't necessarily know because like, okay, and my wife's family, especially.
[SPEAKER_08]: So my wife from basically Illinois, Chicago, somewhat, that's where a lot of her family's from.
[SPEAKER_08]: In her family, depending on the age and who you knew, you were an anchor, Uncle Lord Cousin.
[SPEAKER_08]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_08]: And her family name is Miller.
[SPEAKER_08]: and but her dad's mom had sisters and they got married to what at least one of them to another guy who was named Miller.
[SPEAKER_08]: So there were multiple people there named with last name of Miller, but they were not biologically, right, right.
[SPEAKER_08]: And then they had another friend I believe in her last name was Miller as well.
[SPEAKER_08]: So you're going
[SPEAKER_04]: Who the hell is related to whom?
[SPEAKER_04]: Is Stephanie related to that?
[UNKNOWN]: Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh my god.
[SPEAKER_08]: Ha ha ha ha ha.
[SPEAKER_08]: What the whole thing is that you don't know.
[SPEAKER_08]: I, so when I was, you know, getting to know my wife's family, she would be like, well, that's Andrew Uncle and I'd be like, okay, how are they related?
[SPEAKER_08]: You're trying to figure out this, this person you're dating.
[SPEAKER_08]: You're trying to figure out who's in their family tree.
[SPEAKER_08]: And I eventually just gave up.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm like, they just, they all know each other.
[SPEAKER_08]: I kind of, they're anti-nucle and something.
[SPEAKER_08]: And then the other ones that are younger than their cousins, even though I'm like, whatever.
[SPEAKER_08]: I just, I give it up, I give it up.
[SPEAKER_08]: Y'all, I figured out this, this out is.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, and with my parents, Aunt Julie is my mom's best friend.
[SPEAKER_04]: which makes sense.
[SPEAKER_04]: And so they didn't want us calling her julek as children because that's not respectful, right?
[SPEAKER_04]: So it became Aunt Julie, like Lucille Ball was Aunt Lucie.
[UNKNOWN]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, my uncle Jim was my godfather, so uncle Jim.
[SPEAKER_04]: But it's just kind of how we were raised.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's, there's nothing wrong with it.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's a good thing.
[SPEAKER_08]: That is the kind of of thing that,
[SPEAKER_08]: There's a certain level of respect, I think, that should be shown to people who are in certain positions unless they've shown that they don't deserve it.
[SPEAKER_08]: Like, like, these Republican congressmen turns out now not only were there these Republican chats, hateful racist, sexist, misogynists, Nazi-filled chats,
[SPEAKER_08]: But there's dozen, 15 Republicans, members of the house, who had swastika flags sent to them.
[SPEAKER_08]: And well, one of them just happened to be caught by a journalist walking by, because I guess there was an open door on the cubicle of one of the workers of one of these Congress leaders.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think the staffer was actually doing a Zoom chat and they caught a picture of him behind her.
[SPEAKER_04]: Which is just, you're like, that's not okay.
[SPEAKER_08]: Don't put it up.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right.
[SPEAKER_08]: They're like, well, we were sent it.
[SPEAKER_04]: Didn't why put it up.
[SPEAKER_04]: You broke.
[SPEAKER_08]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's every other, every other Republican as far as I know did not put it up on their bulletin board.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, if all of them were, we're, remember, there are what?
[SPEAKER_08]: 217, something, 15, something like that.
[SPEAKER_08]: Republicans, if, if 12 to 15 admit that they were sent it, maybe the rest of them were sent it too, but nobody else, everybody else either must have gotten rid of it or hit it a much better.
[SPEAKER_04]: Don't just play it and I didn't that GOP representative say it was an optical illusion.
[SPEAKER_04]: You couldn't really see it.
[SPEAKER_04]: I've seen it.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, you can see it.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's kind of like kind of going nothing to see here.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's not here.
[SPEAKER_08]: Nothing to see.
[SPEAKER_04]: It was just like his excuse is just done.
[SPEAKER_04]: Why did you put it up?
[SPEAKER_08]: because that's who they really are.
[SPEAKER_08]: As those chats exposed, that is who they really are.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, you know, there's children.
[SPEAKER_04]: They're just children.
[SPEAKER_08]: 32 year olds are not children.
[SPEAKER_04]: I listen to Francis and Angela today and they're like, oh,
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, oh, they were, they were great.
[SPEAKER_08]: God, it's so great to have them here in the bar of this week.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was.
[SPEAKER_08]: We have had so many fantastic people here in the bar of the week.
[SPEAKER_08]: And next week, of course, we got a few surprises for you.
[SPEAKER_08]: And at least one that we've already let you know about the Tim Ross is going to be here, actor Tim Russ, which we always dig that when we can talk a little bit of entertainment, a little bit of something that isn't necessarily politics.
[SPEAKER_08]: Now, of course,
[SPEAKER_08]: You know, obviously some of the inspirational stuff, but I'm certain there's gonna be some politics there Because he is political Yes, there's nothing wrong with it.
[SPEAKER_08]: No all these all these people who you know, oh my god If you if you look on any of these clips of Martin or of Mam Danny and he go down You look in the comments or you're looking clips like on a blue sky or Twitter or whatever and it's ridiculous how you're seeing these trolls
[SPEAKER_08]: And especially with Martin, the whole thing is just shut up and act.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, I'm like, um, no, no.
[SPEAKER_08]: And the nice thing with his podcast is going to be he'll be able to bring him his whole person because it's him and Renee who are doing the podcast.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, and Renee is, she's just the sweetest human and she's been working so hard.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I email her.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm like, I know how hard this is.
[SPEAKER_04]: I know you're in a lot of pressure.
[SPEAKER_04]: You're not your king care of talent who also happens to be your father.
[SPEAKER_04]: So there's added pressure.
[SPEAKER_08]: And she was very sweet.
[SPEAKER_04]: You go, say, how did you know that?
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm like, dude.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, my mom had her own business.
[SPEAKER_08]: I was a consultant for my mom at one time, and I know you've pressed for you've worked for your mom.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's a lot of pressure when you work with family like that.
[SPEAKER_04]: So it's especially when they're at this level, you know, but even that, even when my mom just had a small store in the rest of it, she's at that level.
[SPEAKER_08]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, because anybody else in the town had it issues it exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, it's it's uh, a Renee is done.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's such a great job I wish she was going to be on with her dad today, but she was like, no, oh, well It's okay.
[SPEAKER_08]: We can have her back to the bar some other time.
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't know big deal.
[SPEAKER_08]: So look
[SPEAKER_08]: Here's what we're going to do.
[SPEAKER_08]: We got a cleanup couple glasses from the first round.
[SPEAKER_08]: We're going to have Martin Sheen in here.
[SPEAKER_08]: We're going to talk about his podcast.
[SPEAKER_08]: We will get to the news on tap for the day.
[SPEAKER_08]: We will get you the drink of the day as well.
[SPEAKER_08]: It is a very presidential.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, exactly.
[SPEAKER_08]: You know, we lean a little bit to the west way.
[SPEAKER_08]: Shall we say.
[SPEAKER_08]: Look, fresh and heavy drink, come on back.

[SPEAKER_08]: It is Friday night here at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_08]: You know, we've been telling you we've been hitting it this for a few days.
[SPEAKER_08]: And we actually finally have him here.
[SPEAKER_08]: The one, the only martin machine in the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_08]: We are so honored to have you here, sir.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yes, we are.
[SPEAKER_08]: How's your week been?
[SPEAKER_10]: And that's about, we just got back from New York.
[SPEAKER_10]: We were over in New York last week for the Comic Con.
[SPEAKER_10]: And then I was honored to do a Nicole Wallace's podcast.
[SPEAKER_08]: Great.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right.
[SPEAKER_08]: She's great.
[SPEAKER_08]: We'd love to have her here too.
[SPEAKER_08]: She's fantastic.
[SPEAKER_10]: We saw the whole crew and all our heroes from MSNBC.
[SPEAKER_10]: Nice.
[SPEAKER_10]: Rachel Maddo.
[SPEAKER_10]: I've never met her before and so I was I was very very taken by all that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, I bet.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, we are never met her.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, I've not.
[SPEAKER_04]: I want to meet Dr. Maddo very badly.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm a huge fan.
[SPEAKER_04]: I would totally feel and grow loud on her.
[SPEAKER_04]: So.
[SPEAKER_08]: I've talked to her dad a lot of times.
[SPEAKER_08]: I used to work for Randy Rhodes for on and off for 15 years.
[SPEAKER_08]: I worked for Bill Press for a while and her dad listens to all of the left painting shows.
[SPEAKER_08]: I have talked about on the phone any number of times.
[SPEAKER_08]: So yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: Good people.
[SPEAKER_10]: Uh, yeah, I just they only disappointed she's only on one day a week.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: So I know.
[SPEAKER_10]: I like I could I could go with, you know, two, two and a half.
[SPEAKER_10]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_10]: But in fact, the night, I think she's, yes, pretty narrowing a documentary on, uh, a great, uh, entry young.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: Young the civil rights champion.
[SPEAKER_10]: So yeah, I think she's going to introduce it tonight.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, I think so.
[SPEAKER_10]: I think you're right.
[SPEAKER_04]: So sir, you have a new podcast out.
[SPEAKER_04]: Tell us.
[SPEAKER_04]: Tell our listeners all about it.
[SPEAKER_10]: Where's that piece of paper?
[SPEAKER_10]: Renee is standing here with a switch Renee as the best my daughter is our producer and we've been at this for quite a while some months now we recorded a story and.
[SPEAKER_10]: poems and open mics and interviews.
[SPEAKER_10]: And so we're all set to go on Sunday, October the 26th and we're very excited and and trevidacious.
[SPEAKER_10]: We've never been in this territory before.
[SPEAKER_10]: I think I'm the only guy in California that didn't have a podcast to come up with.
[SPEAKER_08]: It does seem like that everybody has a podcast these days, but I think you're just going to be something different from what you know.
[SPEAKER_08]: Not too long, 20, 30 minutes, I guess.
[SPEAKER_08]: And focused on a lot of your wisdom, your observations, and your poetry that you love.
[SPEAKER_10]: A lot of poetry that I've learned over the years, some of it classics, some of it modern, but all of it resonates with me personally.
[SPEAKER_10]: A lot of romantic stuff, a lot of funny stuff.
[SPEAKER_10]: Charlie recorded one of the favorite baseball poems of all time in the case of the bat.
[SPEAKER_10]: And so be hearing that from Charlie.
[SPEAKER_10]: And I'll put a little interview as well.
[SPEAKER_08]: So cool.
[SPEAKER_08]: I know that I know you used to be friends with Daniel Barrigan.
[SPEAKER_08]: So that's why I know when you say you love both the modern and some of the classic stuff to go on.
[SPEAKER_08]: I believe is the other one.
[SPEAKER_08]: I can't remember how many times I've seen clips of huge, huge parts of a letter country awake.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, yeah, and that's a to go or poem.
[SPEAKER_10]: Like I learned that in India when I was there doing Gandhi.
[SPEAKER_10]: And Roscoe Lee Brown taught it to me.
[SPEAKER_10]: He was visiting us and yeah, it's, it's my favorite poem.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's,
[SPEAKER_10]: I had a volume while he was teaching at Harvard in 1938 or 1939.
[SPEAKER_10]: He died in 1940, isn't it, man?
[SPEAKER_10]: Right.
[SPEAKER_10]: The year I was born, then, because you're interested in it.
[SPEAKER_10]: So you're interested in it?
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, so there's a lot of faith, hope, love, and politics.
[SPEAKER_10]: Great concern about the human condition, about the lack of it, and certain spheres these days.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_10]: So that's our main concern is about how we remain
[SPEAKER_10]: You know, connected to our humanity so that we can be a compassionate to others, and particularly those that are under attack these days, and suffering greatly for just being immigrants, which I need to remind people is not a crime, nor is being undocumented crime.
[SPEAKER_10]: Amen.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's not even a misdemeanor.
[SPEAKER_10]: And so we want to focus on immigration at this time.
[SPEAKER_10]: We start our very first one is the emeralizerist poem that I say is tattooed to the leg of the lady dancing in the harbor with one hand.
[SPEAKER_10]: Waiting for it.
[SPEAKER_10]: That sucks.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's our homage to Bob Dylan.
[SPEAKER_10]: And then we go and talk about immigrants because both of my parents were immigrants and they had well my mother had 12 pregnancies 10 survived nine boys one girl and both of their country suffered civil wars and great devastation in their lifetimes in the last century and so I I comment about that and how that
[SPEAKER_10]: that didn't force them to stay in the United States, but they realized what an opportunity America offered.
[SPEAKER_10]: And so I talked about immigrants and from a personal point of view.
[SPEAKER_10]: I was the first, yeah, I was the first one, and my family, to be born in the United States.
[SPEAKER_10]: The others were born and one, my oldest brother was born and
[SPEAKER_10]: Ireland and the rest of the brothers were born in Bermuda.
[SPEAKER_10]: We lost the two children.
[SPEAKER_10]: My mother lost to one in Bogotá, Colombia, and one in the United States of girl on the board.
[SPEAKER_10]: So she had 12 as I say, 10 survived and we had a baseball team nine boys.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you did.
[SPEAKER_10]: In our manager, Carmen, my sister.
[SPEAKER_10]: Now that my producer keeps handing me little things.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, this is our website, the martenshainpodcast.com.
[SPEAKER_02]: There we go.
[SPEAKER_02]: She's a smart producer.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you very much.
[SPEAKER_10]: There we go.
[SPEAKER_08]: There we go.
[SPEAKER_08]: And we do it.
[SPEAKER_08]: We do it.
[SPEAKER_15]: We do it.
[SPEAKER_15]: There we go.
[SPEAKER_10]: There we go.
[SPEAKER_04]: We do it.
[SPEAKER_10]: We do it.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, not useless at all, sir.
[SPEAKER_08]: No, matter of fact, I, you know, you focusing, you know, in the beginning of the podcast series on immigration, I bet you were pretty proud that the, that the current Pope, we jokingly call him Pope Bob has come out, has come out so strongly, and, and, you know, I love the fact that he has come out and been like, hey, y'all, you might want to consider the fact that Jesus said, welcome to Stranger, just saying that, just a little bit, he was an undocumented
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, it's very clear how we can judge our own religiosity, which we avoid doing, you know, when we talk about
[SPEAKER_10]: you know, what is it mean to be religious or spiritual or honest?
[SPEAKER_10]: And for Catholics, it's all summed up in Matthew 25s.
[SPEAKER_10]: When did we see you hungry Lord?
[SPEAKER_10]: When did we see you in prison and visit you?
[SPEAKER_10]: When did we see you naked and clothed you?
[SPEAKER_10]: And so forth.
[SPEAKER_10]: So,
[SPEAKER_10]: That's, in the final analysis, we're not going to be judged by our looks, thank God, or our lack thereof, but we're going to be judged by our love, the size of our heart, and how expansive it was, how many we included, and how many we rejected.
[SPEAKER_10]: You know, like the good Samaritan who stopped on his way and spent his whole day helping an unfortunate victim of crime.
[SPEAKER_10]: So yeah, that's, that's what it means to be human and whether you're Catholic or a practicing Protestant or Jew or Muslim.
[SPEAKER_10]: And they're all the same engulfed in the same kind of spirituality, humanity.
[SPEAKER_10]: I always say we are beautifully and a blessedly broken, the BBC.
[SPEAKER_10]: You want to call it that our business bureau, but beautifully,
[SPEAKER_10]: And blessedly broken and that's what it means to be human.
[SPEAKER_10]: I one time heard one of our heroes here in Los Angeles, and I'm sure around their countries.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, but we we covered him and that's Father Greg Boyle, who founded homeboy and homegirl industries and one time he was being interviewed and the fellow interviewing him clearly did not have a clue who he was.
[SPEAKER_10]: It was like
[SPEAKER_10]: Maybe just somebody been given a piece of paper to say interview this priest from L.A. What's his name?
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, great boy.
[SPEAKER_10]: What is the S.J.
[SPEAKER_10]: stand for that society of Jesus?
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, I see.
[SPEAKER_10]: Jesus.
[SPEAKER_10]: Jesuit?
[SPEAKER_10]: Yes, he is.
[SPEAKER_10]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_10]: Finally, near the end of the interview, the guy says, well, tell me father, how came you to be so socially involved and what made you do all the hints that I'll pay you frankly, I went into the third world and they cracked open my heart.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, that's a great phrase.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: So our third world is right in our neighbors, right at our neighbors door.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's right where we shop, right where we worship.
[SPEAKER_10]: Right where we go to the, you know, the doctor's office or, you know, sit at an event watching a ballgame or
[SPEAKER_10]: whatever we do, we can't escape our neighbor.
[SPEAKER_08]: No.
[SPEAKER_08]: They have to ask since you mentioned, since you mentioned ball games, have to ask, are you excited, Dodgers, one game away?
[SPEAKER_10]: You know, I don't wanna say this publicly.
[SPEAKER_10]: I have not.
[SPEAKER_10]: Since they left Brooklyn, yeah, I'm good.
[SPEAKER_10]: I'm still there guys.
[SPEAKER_10]: Jody and I have Jody and I have Jody and I have Jody and I have Jody and I have Jody but that before.
[SPEAKER_08]: So that's funny.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's true.
[SPEAKER_10]: I grew up a, a, a, a, a, a, a Dodger fan when they were.
[SPEAKER_10]: Brooklyn.
[SPEAKER_10]: We were.
[SPEAKER_10]: That Cincinnati Reds.
[SPEAKER_10]: They've never went to the world series in my lifetime.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, they did.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_10]: Most of the end of my lifetime.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, Jody is, Jody is a Dodger's fan.
[SPEAKER_07]: I am a Braskar region.
[SPEAKER_10]: No, I'm happy is Larry for him.
[SPEAKER_10]: Don't get me wrong.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: And they came together at the right time, right?
[SPEAKER_10]: They were struggling for a while.
[SPEAKER_10]: And they, you know, they'd be probably the best team in the next league.
[SPEAKER_10]: And the village, you know, and they did it.
[SPEAKER_10]: I mean, it was like, holy, it's like how the Yankees fell apart last season.
[SPEAKER_10]: You know?
[SPEAKER_10]: To throw out, to miss a throw out at home plate.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, that's, that's, it's got to be hard for the fillings, but, and it, and it was, and she said the guy come back and bow to the catcher saying, oh, sorry about that.
[SPEAKER_10]: But that's, we can say the back we would, you know, some over, you know, dramatic, swath of the ball or something, that's not it, just
[SPEAKER_10]: I think he was like the eighth pitcher of the game and, you know, he'd ever tried to throw anyone out at home plate, but he could have gone to first place, what have made sense?
[SPEAKER_10]: First thing was over, but, you know, and if you, who's, you know, who doesn't make mistakes under pressure?
[SPEAKER_04]: Good point.
[SPEAKER_04]: Are you going to any of the protests tomorrow, any of the rallies?
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to one of the No Kings rallies in the Valley, are you going to go?
[SPEAKER_10]: I won't go to the one in the valley.
[SPEAKER_10]: I'm hoping to go to the one in Malibu.
[SPEAKER_10]: Nice.
[SPEAKER_10]: And I was there the last time.
[SPEAKER_10]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_10]: And it's astonishingly a pretty big crowd.
[SPEAKER_04]: I know.
[SPEAKER_10]: Don't figure.
[SPEAKER_10]: You know?
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_10]: And I'm very proud to be a part of it, because there's nothing in our community, didn't ever united us more than no King's Day.
[SPEAKER_10]: And all of us were just astonished that there was such a crowd.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, when I went to the one in June by my house, it's a mile away.
[SPEAKER_04]: So we walked down there with some friends.
[SPEAKER_04]: I was expecting maybe four or five hundred people.
[SPEAKER_04]: There were thousands of people on the corner.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I was like, whoa, it went about a quarter mile, either way around the corner where it was scheduled to be.
[SPEAKER_04]: So I assume it's going to be at least that big again tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I look forward to it.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, I hope so.
[SPEAKER_10]: And if there's anyone watching in Malibu, I think it's on at the library again.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right now.
[SPEAKER_10]: Excellent.
[SPEAKER_10]: Gather and bring your signs and your hearts and your very best wishes for the survival of our constant.
[SPEAKER_04]: I still have one of your lovely brides, T-shirts about Donald grabbing our country.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's dirty spelled.
[SPEAKER_10]: Since we're in our country, we've got to, we've got to, we've got to watch that.
[SPEAKER_10]: Did you ever did you wear it?
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh yeah, I've worn it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_03]: I love that shirt.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's one of my favorites.
[SPEAKER_10]: So you might want to cherish it.
[SPEAKER_10]: And maybe you could raise funds for your favorite charity somewhere down the line.
[SPEAKER_10]: You know, I will serve anything you ask.
[SPEAKER_04]: Of course, of course.
[SPEAKER_04]: And Lonnie, by the way, my husband sends his love as well.
[SPEAKER_10]: Oh, thank you, please return it.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, we said delightful.
[SPEAKER_10]: Spend that day with you all.
[SPEAKER_10]: You were so generous and beautiful to come out and hang out with us and tell me and Janet and, you know, Renee, our daughter, how to do what you do.
[SPEAKER_10]: And so, so it's in large measure, you're a fault.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I know that AG Allison, who runs MSW media is so excited that you're on her network, you have no idea how happy she is.
[SPEAKER_10]: Okay, great.
[SPEAKER_10]: Well, we're hoping we had the good news yesterday Renee and for me that we've had two people that have bought subscriptions.
[SPEAKER_08]: Nice.
[SPEAKER_08]: Excellent.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm hoping I'm there'll be more that some of the people that we know in common, because I happen to know a couple of people that that you know other than Jody and and Lonnie.

[SPEAKER_08]: All right, Jody, in honor of Martin Sheen, what is the drink of the day?
[SPEAKER_04]: It's called a prison cocktail.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, a prison cocktail out of respect for him because, well, I mean, he's one of our favorite activists and actor who is an activist.
[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_08]: I got that phrase from Melissa, so.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's a good phrase.
[SPEAKER_08]: She's a very, very wonderful person.
[SPEAKER_08]: And I met her two times.
[SPEAKER_08]: I wish to talk to her more.
[SPEAKER_08]: But you know, it's been a crazy few years.
[SPEAKER_08]: And we've all been busy.
[SPEAKER_08]: But she does some great stuff with adjusters for vets.
[SPEAKER_08]: And help a lot of people.
[SPEAKER_04]: So she's great about that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_08]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_08]: All right.
[SPEAKER_08]: So drink is present cocktail?
[SPEAKER_08]: What is in a president's cocktail?
[SPEAKER_04]: OK, what you're going to need is a pre-chilled coupe glass.
[SPEAKER_04]: We've done the gig looked cool.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, they look like the old-fashioned champagne glasses, a shaker, some eyes, two ounces of light, white, rum, specifically charcoal filtered one to four years.
[SPEAKER_08]: If you have that fine, if you don't.
[SPEAKER_04]: If you don't, just some of your top shelf light room.
[SPEAKER_04]: An ounce of orange juice, freshly squeezed, a quarter ounce of lemon juice, also freshly squeezed, a quarter ounce of moan and grenadine syrup, which is the red stuff that you put in that Shirley Temple.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right, that's the good stuff.
[SPEAKER_04]: Ready?
[SPEAKER_04]: And an orange zest twist for the garnish.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: So what you're going to do is you're going to shake it all in the shaker with ice to chill it, then you strain it into the chilled, pre-chilled coop glass and then you express the orange zest over the cocktail and use it as garnish and then hail to the chief, you know, the good ones.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, not the current.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, the drink is orange, but yeah, not that good.
[SPEAKER_08]: Just remember drink up and when you when you don't take a moment and ask yourself What's next exactly exactly if you missed the drink of the day or any part of the show You know what to do just subscribe to politics bar dot com Amen All right, Jody, so I'm still on cloud nine from our interview.
[SPEAKER_08]: He Look, I'm I he is honestly a very kind man
[SPEAKER_08]: So down to earth as you know.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, just a good guy.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's it's it's great that he and Renee which got it hats off to Renee.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it's a lot of work that she's doing.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's it's this is an easy to because she's never done it before especially.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, wow.
[SPEAKER_08]: She's got questions.
[SPEAKER_04]: She can ask us exactly which is why I'm glad I hooked her up with Kimberly Johnson and Allison.
[SPEAKER_08]: He'll probably because we would love to have both of both Kimberly and Allison and Renee.
[SPEAKER_08]: With just bring everybody here because it's a bar.
[SPEAKER_08]: We got room.
[SPEAKER_08]: Exactly, and that's kind of the idea tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_08]: The no kings rallies, the organizers, which we are still kind of, you know, a little bit over the moon yesterday from having Leah Greenberg here as well.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, that was fantastic.
[SPEAKER_08]: Look, you guys know the basic rules.
[SPEAKER_08]: You obviously should go to nokings.org.
[SPEAKER_08]: We've got a link in the news on tap today.
[SPEAKER_08]: But the basic rules be positive.
[SPEAKER_08]: Be happy like Malcolm says dance.
[SPEAKER_08]: Know your safety captains.
[SPEAKER_08]: That was some of Leah's advice yesterday.
[SPEAKER_08]: And remember if somebody does starts, you know, causing trouble attacking police, which they shouldn't do, but you sit down.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, stress down.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right away, the point at them.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, because if everybody in that area immediately around it sits down.
[SPEAKER_08]: Then it's going to be obvious who the bag guys.
[SPEAKER_08]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_08]: So that's, you know, that that's it'd be be smart about this and be careful.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, you know, if it's gets really bad.
[SPEAKER_04]: Get out of there is safely.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yes, we all hope it won't.
[SPEAKER_08]: But, you know, the idea is be your, your fellow, pro-tester, your fellow neighbors, safe keeper.
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, like I've got at least three people meeting me here tomorrow to go and we're going to walk.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's only mile in some change from my house.
[SPEAKER_04]: I have my four American flags, so enough of us, so because I gave a bunch of way last time.
[SPEAKER_04]: I live as yet I gave like three away, but no, I have American flags for us to carry in case somebody doesn't have them.
[SPEAKER_04]: Angela Shelton is one of the people that's meeting us here.
[SPEAKER_08]: Hey, we love that.
[SPEAKER_08]: Frangela.
[SPEAKER_08]: We always love having them here.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, to look at this.
[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, the people that we have had in the bar this week.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's been a very very good week.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, you know, but we have good people ever we have we've had several people by the way, comment on our social media.
[SPEAKER_08]: How many good guests that we have had lately and how they are just thrilled with all the good guests that we have, by the way, if you do want to comment on any of our social media, you guys know where we're at.
[SPEAKER_08]: Blue Sky, we're in Threads, Instagram, Facebook, Substack and Twitter at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_08]: You know, I did, there was a message on our social media was yesterday, day before, that I won't go into it too much here.
[SPEAKER_08]: But basically said that the utility of the no-kings protests,
[SPEAKER_08]: is that they undermine the fundamental basis of Trump's power.
[SPEAKER_08]: And that, as more people stand up and see that we are all standing up together, it's nearly a, I mean, it's something that we were saying yesterday.
[SPEAKER_08]: You call them the no-kings protest because that's their name, but also because no-kings is something that is so interwoven to the fabric of being American.
[SPEAKER_08]: We don't have kings, we don't want kings.
[SPEAKER_08]: Of course, Donald is claiming that, oh, he's not a king.
[SPEAKER_08]: He had an interview with Maria Bartowromo, just to hear, let me rule this quick.
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you think that the government shutdown is all about this rally that's happening this weekend, but no king is rallying?
[SPEAKER_11]: No, I mean, somebody must say they want to delay it for the king.
[SPEAKER_11]: This is one of the king, you know, they're saying they're referring to me as a king.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm not a king.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yes, you're not a king with your acting like one.
[SPEAKER_04]: He wants to be one.
[SPEAKER_08]: He wishes he was.
[SPEAKER_08]: He wishes he had the kind of, not even necessarily power but feelty, the kind of everybody kissing his ass.
[SPEAKER_04]: I remember George J.
[SPEAKER_04]: B. Bush saying it'd be so much easier just to be a dictator.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's so much easier, no way, that's, that's Bill Mum, but I remember him saying that.
[SPEAKER_08]: Uh-huh, yeah, and then then watch me hit this ball.
[SPEAKER_08]: Exactly, but that's literally, he did.
[SPEAKER_08]: He said how much easier it would be.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, because it would be.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yes, life would be easy if we, well, in theory it would be easy if you could tell everyone what to do and everyone immediately jumped to it.
[SPEAKER_04]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_08]: But history also shows that that doesn't actually happen most of the time.
[SPEAKER_04]: And it doesn't last very long.
[SPEAKER_08]: and it doesn't go so well usually either.
[SPEAKER_08]: So it's it's not it's not something that is a real thing.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's a billing the cat thing as we've talked about before.
[SPEAKER_08]: The idea that everyone will it's it's why I consistently still look at what they're doing on the right and say you guys.
[SPEAKER_08]: you got to have hope.
[SPEAKER_08]: In fact, we've got a piece that is in the news on tap today from Garrett Graff who is he's a really good writer, but you know sometimes he's kind of dark.
[SPEAKER_08]: The name of his his sub-stack is Doomsday scenario.
[SPEAKER_08]: But you know the nice thing is is that he goes through and he talks about how there are three reasons that he still has hope for America.
[SPEAKER_08]: And one of them is the fact that there are more of us than there are of them.
[SPEAKER_08]: Which there are, there's way more of us than
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, listening to Andrew Young today on Stephanie show, right?
[SPEAKER_04]: Watching, he literally watched Martin Luther King die.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Which he still has hope.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's definitely something that it's hard for some people.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's hard for people to sometimes because our brains want to go to worst case scenarios.
[SPEAKER_08]: So that way we can prefigure escape routes.
[SPEAKER_08]: We can prefigure.
[SPEAKER_08]: And the thing is you don't go to that place.
[SPEAKER_08]: Don't let yourself.
[SPEAKER_08]: If you let yourself, you're already letting them win.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_08]: You're letting the fascist win at that point.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's complying in advance, which as we know, Timothy Snyder says, first thing you don't comply in advance, letting even letting your own brain go there is complying in advance.
[SPEAKER_08]: So the first thing you got to remember is there are more of us.
[SPEAKER_08]: There are way, way more of us.
[SPEAKER_08]: Then there's the history factor.
[SPEAKER_08]: History has said, look, America's progress has been imperfect.
[SPEAKER_08]: Barack Obama used to say this all the time that we stop and we start.
[SPEAKER_08]: But as you were mentioning, Martin Luther King, the universe and bending justice, we're in that direction, but we got to keep at it.
[SPEAKER_04]: You can't, you can't give up it feels like we're in a place.
[SPEAKER_04]: where I know the pendulum swings back and forth all the time, I think it's swinging back to progressiveness, back to the Renaissance, back to, you know, where we do good, where art flourishes, where the progress continues.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, these things, you know, that feels like it.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's a third thing that's on Garrett Graff's list, actually.
[SPEAKER_08]: is it's not just the fact that there are no more of us in numbers, it's not just the fact that history says that that eventually things will go the right way.
[SPEAKER_08]: But it's an actuary.
[SPEAKER_08]: He literally titles his third point of hope, actuarial.
[SPEAKER_08]: Trump won't last forever.
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
[SPEAKER_08]: Which means Trump is a will eventually fail.
[SPEAKER_04]: It will.
[SPEAKER_08]: No matter how many people want it to be something that will continue forever.
[SPEAKER_04]: It won't
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, JD Vance cannot do what?
[SPEAKER_04]: No, but he can.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, Joe, he's right.
[SPEAKER_04]: A gray or not.
[SPEAKER_04]: Donald Trump has some weird charisma.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I don't see it, but other people do.
[SPEAKER_04]: And so I cannot argue with that.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, there's television shows that I'm like, I didn't like that, but at last in nine years, so whatever.
[SPEAKER_04]: Sign up.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm.
[SPEAKER_04]: It did not find that show funny.
[SPEAKER_04]: But anyway, everybody in it was funny, but anyway, uh, it just, it's, it's, it's this thing that JD Vance doesn't have that over the magas.
[SPEAKER_04]: Neither does Mike Johnson, neither does any of the people that are trying to be John John, John Thune, who they don't have it.
[SPEAKER_08]: Could be replaced by a wooden post and you probably wouldn't notice the different Tom cotton.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I could start naming others.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's like they just don't have it.
[SPEAKER_08]: But that's it, we could name every major person, even all the idiots who are on Fox.
[SPEAKER_08]: There is not a single person.
[SPEAKER_04]: Nobody has it.
[SPEAKER_08]: Nobody has it.
[SPEAKER_08]: And as Sherry told us here a couple weeks ago, when she was here in the bottom, a lot of those people are playing.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, God, yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: They're playing because they like their position.
[SPEAKER_08]: They like their money.
[SPEAKER_08]: They like whatever respect, whatever that they're being given.
[SPEAKER_04]: Don't move if the money goes to another place, they're gonna go over there.
[SPEAKER_08]: absolutely they have they do not believe in what the manga people believe that's part of the reason that you're seeing these podcast bros like Joe Rogan go wait wait wait wait wait wait I thought you believed in the I thought you I thought you said you was just going to get the bad immigrants you didn't say you were going to get right old that I know right like my friend David in Alabama
[SPEAKER_08]: in Alabama.
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, he, he literally was like, he's freaking out.
[SPEAKER_04]: And it's like, dude, this is what you've uttered for.
[SPEAKER_04]: You just didn't realize it or you didn't listen.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, probably a little bit of both.
[SPEAKER_08]: Probably a little from Colomaine, a little from Colombe.
[SPEAKER_04]: And, uh, but hey, welcome to the light.
[SPEAKER_08]: exactly.
[SPEAKER_08]: You get on the bus.
[SPEAKER_08]: You can't drive.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm sure there are things that we don't know about that you can probably teach us just not necessarily in the corner of governing, but right you know exactly.
[SPEAKER_08]: All right, it's Friday nights.
[SPEAKER_08]: We've had a couple of rounds.
[SPEAKER_08]: We had Martin Sheen in the bar, which is amazing.
[SPEAKER_08]: And now we're going to have the amazing Karen and Anita from Shubu Politics coming up.
[SPEAKER_08]: And of course, more of the news on tap.
[SPEAKER_08]: Here's what you do, get yourself, dust it off, clean up your table a little bit.
[SPEAKER_08]: If you want, we'll get the glasses, whatever.
[SPEAKER_08]: And then look, you know what facilities are down the home, left, right, center, whatever.
[SPEAKER_08]: Look, you know, we aim to please, you aim to please.
[SPEAKER_08]: All right, and get your drink refreshed, and then come back for another round.

[SPEAKER_04]: And it's all, it's all very incestuous.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's weird.
[SPEAKER_08]: Kind of, except, you know, it's a little bit different.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's, you know, it's not like some of the maga voters.
[SPEAKER_08]: But by the way, uh, you know what a telephone pole, uh, another name for telephone pole is.
[SPEAKER_08]: Sean Louise.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm just saying.
[SPEAKER_08]: They are not exactly the brightest bulls.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, they're not.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's for sure.
[SPEAKER_08]: Especially if you look at some of the stories they're in the news on tap today.
[SPEAKER_08]: So in the second part of the first round, the hate-filled mega world is in disarray.
[SPEAKER_08]: Looks like as we talked about last hour, multiple Republican correct congressional offices received a flag with a Nazi swastika.
[SPEAKER_08]: There is a photo that's been discovered showing Trump backstage at either one of his rallies or something.
[SPEAKER_08]: And he was doing somebody else that became one of his rallies with some of the Republicans who were involved in this racist text message scandal.
[SPEAKER_08]: So he can't be like, oh, they were just a coffee boy, because dude, you get your armor around him.
[SPEAKER_08]: So there's that.
[SPEAKER_08]: And then of course, so that's just a couple of problems in the MAGA world.
[SPEAKER_08]: Marjorie Taylor Green is ramping things up.
[SPEAKER_08]: She's really good.
[SPEAKER_08]: I know.
[SPEAKER_08]: And she's making some comments that some of the other Republicans are, it seems like that they are not necessarily in disagreement that they don't have the guts to say.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I got to give it to her.
[SPEAKER_04]: She's got Cahones.
[SPEAKER_08]: She does she does but wasn't John who was saying that she she understands she understands the thing that we were mentioning last hour with Garrett graph Me the actuarially it's actually actuarial tables.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_08]: We've had a few.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's right.
[SPEAKER_08]: Trump's not going to live forever and she still wants to keep receipt.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, she's not stupid
[SPEAKER_08]: No, look, we we have said this before.
[SPEAKER_08]: I, it doesn't matter whether you got tiny Johnson and they they have been waving their tiny Johnson on every media organization on the right notice he doesn't go to, you know, legitimate media works for the trip part.
[SPEAKER_08]: He just, you know, pretty much stays on right when we occasionally he'll do like press the meat, meet the press, whatever you want to call it.
[SPEAKER_08]: But other than that, he's, you know, pretty pretty much stays in, you know, the Fox world.
[SPEAKER_08]: And he's, oh, they're going to be hate-filled rallies, and some of their other people are going there.
[SPEAKER_08]: They're, they, I think this is another example of how the folks at Maga World do not think ahead.
[SPEAKER_08]: So they are out there, several video clips of them now saying the breath, I hate America rallies.
[SPEAKER_08]: you realize that somebody is going to take all those times that these magma republicans have said i hate america and they're going to put them into a montage so that you have a whole bunch of republicans in a row saying i hate america right come on rocky mountain mike i know you hate requests but
[SPEAKER_08]: We're not put, we're not technically putting it in.
[SPEAKER_08]: We're just putting it out there.
[SPEAKER_08]: Just just saying Mike, you know, we know you're in a corner of the bar here, just leaving it on the bar top.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm not saying you got to pick it up.
[SPEAKER_08]: Judges not saying you got to pick it up, but it's there.
[SPEAKER_08]: if you want.
[SPEAKER_08]: So there you go.
[SPEAKER_08]: So meanwhile, in some of the other stuff that's going on in the news on tab, the Trump Republican shutdown is still going on.
[SPEAKER_08]: And this, a lot of this is just an extension of their problems they have had now for what 15 years with Obamacare.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's it's clear, but there's a good piece in the news on tap.
[SPEAKER_08]: It kind of digs into it a little bit.
[SPEAKER_08]: Thune by the way offered the news is reporting.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, he he offered it.
[SPEAKER_08]: I promise if you buy a hamburger today, I will pay you for it.
[SPEAKER_08]: Next Tuesday.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, I went pee.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_08]: Bingo.
[SPEAKER_08]: Joe, he got that reference.
[SPEAKER_04]: I know I watched Papa's.
[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: Child.
[SPEAKER_08]: Papa, I would say.
[SPEAKER_08]: Lord, man.
[SPEAKER_08]: Woo, we love Papa.
[SPEAKER_08]: But, especially me because I was a sailor.
[SPEAKER_08]: But they didn't.
[SPEAKER_08]: But yeah, of course Democrats totally blew it off and are like, are you freaking kidding me there is no way that they are going to agree to any kind of a deal because we've told you before the three conditions for what the deal needs to be.
[SPEAKER_08]: uh... first condition is you have to be able to trust republicans are not going to welch on the deal no back cease right for first condition is no back cease and uh... christ Murphy uh... believe he was on that was in ms and bc uh... today or yesterday and he's like no no no no no no no not only no back cease but we have no obligation to pay for this because you realize all his monster stuff going on were paying for it here to play this on the dvr
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a country that is falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're not a version of an authoritarian takeover, we're in the middle of it.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so for me, I'm only going to vote for a budget that fixes this healthcare problem, but also slows Trump's ability.
[SPEAKER_00]: to act unconstitutionally and try to use the IRS or the FCC or the Department of Justice to punish his political opponents.
[SPEAKER_00]: I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy and you are seeing that the President is absolutely committed to using these agencies to try to destroy the sense in this country.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that, frankly, I think, should raise the stakes for Democrats.
[SPEAKER_00]: We shouldn't be willing to unquestionably vote to fund the agencies that are then going to be used to hunt down all of us.
[SPEAKER_00]: Demi.
[SPEAKER_04]: And then Donald keeps saying he's going to defund Democrat agencies.
[SPEAKER_08]: How does it work exactly?
[SPEAKER_04]: What are those agencies exactly?
[SPEAKER_08]: When agencies are voted for, they're voted for by Democrats, independence, and Republicans.
[UNKNOWN]: Right.
[SPEAKER_08]: they are staffed by democrats independence and republicans and they assist the all the people in Alaska we had a story we got that in the news on tap yesterday on Alaska man that's just awful what happened there it keeps getting worse just that the disaster is a disaster.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right, because of what Trump and because of the government shutdown that Republicans are responsible for, but they are still doing what they can to help hundreds.
[SPEAKER_08]: I last check I heard it could be as high as, you know, a couple thousand people.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's it's bad.
[SPEAKER_08]: And then there's the second very knock on effects, which go to thousands more.
[SPEAKER_08]: But here's the thing, those people I can guarantee there are.
[SPEAKER_08]: Democrats, Republicans, independents, and unregistered non-voters.
[SPEAKER_08]: who were all there in Alaska.
[SPEAKER_04]: Would they consider the EPA to be a Democrat thing?
[SPEAKER_04]: Because I seem to recall it was Richard Nixon that started the EPA.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, it actually was Nixon who started the EPA.
[SPEAKER_08]: So I don't know how you could consider the EPA Democratic because Nixon started.
[SPEAKER_08]: So.
[SPEAKER_16]: Oh, I love that, Karen.
[SPEAKER_16]: I just popped in.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm, I made an antifall rally.
[SPEAKER_04]: I know I need my name tagged on right she pops right into the bar and first she says hello my nantifa rally yes yes this is this is the headquarters for antifa yes okay good I'm glad I'm gonna break that jerk sure so be here in a minute with the checks
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, thank God.
[SPEAKER_16]: I know.
[SPEAKER_16]: I'm a little short and grocery money.
[SPEAKER_08]: So, thanks, George.
[SPEAKER_08]: We could use that.
[SPEAKER_04]: We could use that money, Mr. Soros.
[SPEAKER_04]: Hi.
[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_08]: I do.
[SPEAKER_08]: I do still have more, more lefties that have money would invest in left me.
[SPEAKER_04]: I have yet to win big money in the lottery.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, you and me both.
[SPEAKER_08]: But if I do, you know, we're all taking care of on that one.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, gosh.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: We get a rear studio.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, yeah, well, I mean, you know, that's the point of the nice there.
[SPEAKER_08]: There's some benefits for the home studio.
[SPEAKER_08]: For example, I mean, you know, or the bar.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, you're a little dististre.
[SPEAKER_08]: But anyway, so, okay, Karen, I heard some good news today.
[SPEAKER_08]: Somewhat good news that the ice monsters in broad view took the ball down.
[SPEAKER_04]: I've been sailing.
[SPEAKER_04]: I got hit again.
[SPEAKER_08]: today again.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I saw it on the blue sky blue she got hit.
[SPEAKER_16]: Okay, I'm going to have, okay, having been there pretty much every day.
[SPEAKER_16]: I haven't been over there in the last couple days because I am trying to get
[SPEAKER_16]: ready for a celebration of life for one of my oldest and dearest friends who passed away.
[SPEAKER_16]: Oh, I'm so sorry.
[SPEAKER_16]: So I have, but it's, it's, yeah, it was, it was, it was to do that's understandable.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah, anyway, but it first when the fence went up, I was pretty pissed off because, of course, it was just a blatant disregard by the federal government, Donald Trump specifically.
[SPEAKER_16]: you know, and putting that across a public street.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_16]: I later came to appreciate it a little bit because it was a barrier between these ice, maniacs and the protesters.
[SPEAKER_08]: Interesting.
[SPEAKER_16]: So I honestly, because even with that fence up, they were able to open it up and go out and rampage.
[SPEAKER_16]: You know, a visual like barrier being lifted.
[SPEAKER_16]: So people would have a chance to get clear out.
[SPEAKER_08]: I guess it kind of makes sense.
[SPEAKER_08]: I know.
[SPEAKER_08]: Anyway, I am helpful though that the Pritzker says that he is looking into going after some of them doing some stuff legally as far as that goes.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, that would be great.
[SPEAKER_08]: That federal judge, they're ruled that ice agents in Chicago are now required where body cameras and have them on.
[SPEAKER_16]: and so we'll see if they do it.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well sure, but then if they don't and they are ordered to do things, they've been ordered to do things so already that they're not biting by.
[SPEAKER_16]: I mean, no, I get it like here.
[SPEAKER_16]: This is this what I always say.
[SPEAKER_16]: We have to do things the right way.
[SPEAKER_16]: We have to we have to play by the rules and we have to make sure that people understand that this is the way it's
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, here's here's the thing actually Pritzker actually had a comment.
[SPEAKER_08]: He was saying I think he was on Jen Socky show and he was saying that any of these people the ice monsters or Steven Miller He's saying, you know, if they break the law doesn't necessarily mean that they're going to escape it if we don't penalize them right away.
[SPEAKER_12]: You're going to get this up of the DVR The people who serve for the president, including all the way down to ice agents
[SPEAKER_12]: can be held accountable when there's a change of administration who's willing to hold them accountable when they break the law.
[SPEAKER_12]: Now, Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law.
[SPEAKER_12]: So, you know, he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but make sure I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget.
[SPEAKER_04]: And that's right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, that's John Dean.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_08]: These ice monsters and all these little fools who think, oh, they're going to be able to do whatever they want and get away with it.
[SPEAKER_08]: No, they're not because the statute of limitations.
[SPEAKER_08]: It goes out a long ways longer than they would think.
[SPEAKER_08]: So they are going to need to watch the tongues, watch whatever.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's too late for some of them.
[SPEAKER_08]: for some of them they've already been caught on camera and now it's just a question of waiting for the DA to hammer their ass and you know my my my best thought is especially when there is a change at the top in a few years you go have a whole lot of people who their best bet will be to come in.
[SPEAKER_08]: and ask for mercy, just a suggestion.
[SPEAKER_08]: Look, Karen's here, Anita is coming in.
[SPEAKER_08]: It is a Friday night, so look, we're at a break.
[SPEAKER_08]: We have to clean up some glasses, do a few things.
[SPEAKER_08]: So here's what we're going to do.
[SPEAKER_08]: You guys freshen your drinks, we'll help you with that.
[SPEAKER_08]: And then when we come back, we will have both Karen and Anita of True Blue Poetics here on our Friday night.
[SPEAKER_08]: So, do what you got to do, come on back.
[SPEAKER_08]: Dance if you want to, because we have good music here.
[SPEAKER_14]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_08]: Friday night here at the politics bar, you know what that means.
[SPEAKER_08]: We have both Karen and Anita in the building.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's Lady's night and one man Politics well, you know, you guys take good eighties in a man like that.
[SPEAKER_15]: I'm a smart man Thank you.
[SPEAKER_08]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_08]: Look at me.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm I would if I had a red shirt.
[SPEAKER_08]: I would probably blush and right now
[SPEAKER_08]: we are thankful you guys are coming in with us by the way if you guys miss any of the show you know what to do subscribe it's your favorite podcast player get the politics bar just type it in there or you can always subscribe at the politics bar all right so we've we've covered Chicago a little bit things are not as bad as they could be but they're not as good as they could be um
[SPEAKER_08]: You know, I am glad that it seems like there was also the federal appeals court denying the Trump administration their appeal.
[SPEAKER_08]: Basically he was, you know, because they, they said that they could keep the Texas National Guard there, but they had to stay in their little temporary base.
[SPEAKER_08]: They couldn't actually be deployed.
[SPEAKER_08]: And of course, you know, Trump regime appealed it and the federal appeals court, I think it's a seventh circuit was like, yeah, sorry.
[SPEAKER_08]: They said no, yeah, which is great.
[SPEAKER_04]: one or two of those national guard from Texas being removed from their position.
[SPEAKER_04]: The middle team six.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yes, because they're not up to P like says thing standard.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, well, the, that photo came out of them and apparently Pete Higgs is saw it after you just made that speech about how they had to all be.
[SPEAKER_15]: So he immediately, they, I guess they removed them or placed them.
[SPEAKER_15]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_15]: They were an important factor.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, they sound at home.
[SPEAKER_15]: But they're going to have a hard time finding national guard members who are like, Yeah, trim and fit.
[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, because it's a, it's a once a month.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's a hard time.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's one, one weekend a month, two weeks a year.
[SPEAKER_08]: You go out.
[SPEAKER_08]: I have known a lot.
[SPEAKER_16]: Well, not do some of the ice agents.
[SPEAKER_15]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_15]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_16]: Oh, those guys.
[SPEAKER_08]: they are getting more and more there's more and more trouble in fact pro-publica has a new piece out that is linked in our news on tap today uh... pro-publica found more than a hundred and seventy u.s. citizens actual citizens i heard about that that have been held by a nice uh... people who been kicked dragged detained without access to council all of which is totally illegal and as pritzker just said here before the break they are basically what what what what governor pritzker said there
[SPEAKER_08]: is that they are taking notes and we all, we all know there are there are some private groups and private people who are taking notes, but it's nice to know that the governor of Illinois and other governors are also taking notes and saying, you know, when the time comes, we cheeks, you know, we gonna let the hammer drop for a document and everything.
[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, all those things.
[SPEAKER_15]: Everybody's taken after cameras and let me tell you, there was in California, one of these guys, these ice monsters,
[SPEAKER_15]: ramped into a truck on Corpus because this guy had filmed them or something.
[SPEAKER_15]: And then he tried to say that that guy had rammed into him.
[SPEAKER_15]: But it was on it was on video.
[SPEAKER_15]: What did they did it to the lady here that was shot by times.
[SPEAKER_15]: Right.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_15]: And they did to that ambulance, right?
[SPEAKER_15]: They threw that.
[SPEAKER_15]: That ambulance driver, because they said he tried to run into them.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_08]: And it's just stopping.
[SPEAKER_08]: Nations for those who don't know, statute of limitations on anything that is not specifically defined in federal law, statute of limitations is five years.
[SPEAKER_08]: If it is, if it is a crime that is specifically defined, then it's there, however, that long is.
[SPEAKER_08]: And those are usually something like seven, ten and 13 years.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think are like the most common 13, 15 years, something like that.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it
[SPEAKER_08]: 32-year-old children can't get away with with typing racist things out.
[SPEAKER_08]: You ain't gonna get away with run somebody in your car or drag them in the street.
[SPEAKER_08]: You're not gonna really do that so.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, it one of those by the way on the group chat was a state senator.
[SPEAKER_16]: Right from the number of her children being state senators, but no, and don't you have to be, yeah, don't you have to be just this tall to ride the fascist crime?
[SPEAKER_15]: Well, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_15]: Some of them have a short man syndrome, so.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, hey, you know, the the height limit they if I think reduced it because obviously tiny Johnson is.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, I mean, I mean, you know, it's the history is just real.
[SPEAKER_15]: It was really short men who are fascists.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right.
[SPEAKER_08]: Johnson hit.
[SPEAKER_08]: And Napoleon.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, Napoleon.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_15]: Uh-huh.
[SPEAKER_15]: Oh, Putin?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh.
[SPEAKER_04]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, man.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: So guys, I got the funniest letter from one of Stephanie's listeners, letters from the front.
[SPEAKER_04]: Mentos.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I'm going to post it, but I'm going to read a little bit.
[SPEAKER_04]: After being defeated by the naked bike riders of Portland, unfortunately, one Stephanie Miller was not there.
[SPEAKER_04]: What a sight she would have been all naked.
[SPEAKER_04]: My unit has been deployed to War-Torn Memphis.
[SPEAKER_04]: We've traveled by land, which was a benefit of my troops.
[SPEAKER_04]: Many were fat and lost weight.
[SPEAKER_04]: So Secretary of War, a drunkass headbreath couldn't fire them.
[SPEAKER_04]: A plumber arrival, the enemy quickly took upon us.
[SPEAKER_04]: Uh, and confounded my men with mathematical formulas, one plus three.
[SPEAKER_04]: What the heck is that?
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, we fought off the natural enemy called humidity.
[SPEAKER_04]: A kind of black woman explained the formula that had confounded us while she was probably Antifa.
[SPEAKER_04]: I listen.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Apparently, you choose one meat and then three sides.
[SPEAKER_04]: Usually, colored greens, for example, can cheese or if you're one
[SPEAKER_04]: Right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right
[SPEAKER_04]: Tomorrow she, we shall infiltrate Graceland.
[SPEAKER_04]: We will be without Camo and equipment force.
[SPEAKER_04]: We shall be hunting, white, and Tifa.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, he's the homefire's burning.
[SPEAKER_04]: Take care of Bella with a zeer, a Zelda with a beer, whatever the kids call it.
[SPEAKER_04]: Your husband, your loving husband, George W. And it's Bob and Sacrifice Mento and Sac Town, so I love Bob.
[SPEAKER_04]: Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob.
[SPEAKER_04]: And he's very funny.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's very funny.
[SPEAKER_04]: Very good.
[SPEAKER_04]: Very funny.
[SPEAKER_15]: It's not a very funny, smart stephead.
[SPEAKER_15]: There really are.
[SPEAKER_08]: There's a lot of good people on our side.
[SPEAKER_08]: And as we've joked before, the broad left as Bruce Bartlett says, we're just pretty much everybody who isn't supporting Trump.
[SPEAKER_15]: And anybody who doesn't.
[SPEAKER_15]: to the left of Killing Hall, but that's all I look at.
[SPEAKER_08]: You're not wrong, you know, these people, they're proud of being racist.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's another story that we have that's a little bit further up in the news on Tap Today at the politicsbar.com, that there's at least one, like a dozen or 15 members of Congress, or public members of Congress, that admit that they got these flags that were altered to have swaths to go on.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: What the hell and then he said it was an optical illusion.
[SPEAKER_04]: You can't really tell it's like dude.
[SPEAKER_08]: I've seen it That's like the two-year-old the optical illusion where they put their hands over their eyes and they say you can't see me No, that's not how that works
[SPEAKER_04]: It's the cat can't see you.
[SPEAKER_04]: You can't see the cat.
[SPEAKER_15]: That's what I just said.
[SPEAKER_15]: You know, these young Republicans, though, the way they were talking, I mean, this has got to be very, it's got to be more pervasive within the Republican party for them to be talking like that.
[SPEAKER_16]: When he was talking, what had crews?
[SPEAKER_16]: Ted, I know.
[SPEAKER_16]: I mean, you know, what you were telling me earlier that he was, he's always said that thing about George Stores.
[SPEAKER_15]: He said on, at least he said it on Twitter, he said, there is a lot of evidence
[SPEAKER_15]: I know, of course not and I call this office and I told him I'm very upset about this, I go, do you know what George Phillips isn't 90 something year old Holocaust survivor?
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_15]: And you would think that you guys would be a little bit more careful after that.
[SPEAKER_15]: that those young Republican messages came out about gas chambers and how I love Hitler.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right.
[SPEAKER_15]: Right.
[SPEAKER_08]: You know, they don't care though.
[SPEAKER_08]: They, they, this is who they are.
[SPEAKER_08]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_08]: That is one of the things especially.
[SPEAKER_08]: So Russ Vaughn is a monster.
[SPEAKER_08]: And we all know that.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_08]: Uh, there's a piece that's actually in the second round of the news on tap.
[SPEAKER_08]: uh... really good peace it's in pro-publica as well uh... and it talks about how rust-watt has basically become the shadow president and we've been talking about this for a while but any cruel great reporter did a really good job going through the whole thing uh... we've said this for a while now basically there are multiple people who are actually acting as president uh... uh... president-miller vote russ votes yet
[SPEAKER_08]: Steven Miller, Lady Bader Teele.
[SPEAKER_08]: Little bit of JD Teele.
[SPEAKER_08]: And Peter Teele through JD Vance, you're right.
[SPEAKER_08]: And then of course, you have your Kegbreath and gnome corner of your world.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, and those are the people who were on JD running things today.
[SPEAKER_15]: Well, in particular, but it to that.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_16]: Well, and this is a thing too.
[SPEAKER_16]: They all, you know, all of the tech bros, these technocrats, love Curtis Yarvan.
[SPEAKER_16]: And Curtis Yarvan is disappointed in Donald leaving because
[SPEAKER_16]: Yes, because he's not going far enough.
[SPEAKER_16]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_16]: He's fast enough.
[SPEAKER_15]: He's not doing a fast enough.
[SPEAKER_15]: He's fast enough.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's what he wants.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right.
[SPEAKER_08]: Which a lot of these idiots, they have this idea that they can do this.
[SPEAKER_08]: This is one of these things where you cannot do this because, especially as you're seeing more of the podcast grows, jump off from them.
[SPEAKER_08]: They won with less than 1% of code in the previous race.
[SPEAKER_08]: They have the slimmest house margin ever.
[SPEAKER_08]: Uh-huh.
[SPEAKER_08]: And that's why they are so desperate to try to steal the next election.
[SPEAKER_08]: They didn't.
[SPEAKER_15]: They didn't even win the majority in the election.
[SPEAKER_15]: No.
[SPEAKER_15]: Right.
[SPEAKER_15]: The majority of Americans did not vote for Donald Trump.
[SPEAKER_15]: Nope.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right.
[SPEAKER_08]: If you look at the people who didn't vote or voted or voted for Kabul Harris and Tim Wells.
[SPEAKER_08]: we're the majority of people.
[SPEAKER_15]: And people have voted for Jill's daughter, you know, he didn't get a majority of it.
[SPEAKER_15]: It was an ad, what it is, it's the 40% and so he didn't get, he didn't have 50% and plus is all the people that didn't vote.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right, exactly exactly there is some good election news Democrats in Maryland and Illinois are discussing new maps.
[SPEAKER_08]: So there you There's good as Republicans are still pressing forward with their redistricting.
[SPEAKER_08]: There are other states that keep pressing forward I'm sure you guys probably saw Governor Hockel in New York this week.
[SPEAKER_08]: She was you know on fire and we played that.
[SPEAKER_15]: Or she was on fire.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah
[SPEAKER_08]: It's good to see people like, um, you know, and then mom Danny.

[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, have a health pandemic.
[SPEAKER_09]: Then why would New Yorkers turn back to the governor who sent seniors to their death and nursing homes?
[SPEAKER_09]: That's the kind of experience that's on offer here today.
[SPEAKER_09]: What I don't have an experience I make up for an integrity and what you don't have an integrity you could never make up for an experience.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_09]: Jero.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, very wow.
[SPEAKER_15]: That's a mic drop, man.
[SPEAKER_15]: I guess.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, I can't listen to him.
[SPEAKER_15]: Andrew Cuomo.
[SPEAKER_15]: No more.
[SPEAKER_15]: That's why I didn't launch it.
[SPEAKER_15]: I like McDonald's, but I just...
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, I don't know what Paul was thinking.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, he didn't know.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_04]: We know that.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, Joe, he's 100% right on that.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, yeah, but that's, but that's just it.
[SPEAKER_08]: Is that there are, I'm not like some of the further left Democrats who have a Jones for basically anybody who is not as far left as they are.
[SPEAKER_08]: And even then have somewhat moderated a little bit because they're saying, hey, we're part of the broader left and we need everybody.
[SPEAKER_08]: But some of them are still very angry.
[SPEAKER_15]: Oh, I heard people, it was at least on Twitter that we're so angry and so pro Palestine that they were saying Mandoning was pro genocide because he didn't have some loss.
[SPEAKER_15]: Oh, no, I don't think that it should be that's the best to me that doesn't feel like actual hearing.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: I know.
[SPEAKER_08]: But they have a lot of followers.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm not sure about even so even so they're in real life.
[SPEAKER_08]: There are some people who are kind of that crazy, but they are the minority of a minority of a minority of a minority.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yes, absolutely.
[SPEAKER_08]: That overwhelming minority of the overwhelming majority is is understanding that
[SPEAKER_08]: for us to do what we need to do in the elections this fall in everywhere across the country.
[SPEAKER_08]: There are what is like almost 1,500 elections in local states, county federal, bringing a couple of fillings, whatever.
[SPEAKER_08]: that we need everybody.
[SPEAKER_08]: So we need everybody from David Jolly and Joe Walsh, all the way to sarm and vanity, and everybody in between.
[SPEAKER_08]: And that's what we need to do to be able to hit back the power that we meant right.
[SPEAKER_08]: And fix things.
[SPEAKER_15]: I think I think I've seen that at least from the, you know, some people on the far left to or more, you know, critical of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as far as like Gaza.
[SPEAKER_15]: But
[SPEAKER_15]: You know, what bothers me is I still hear this, they bashing of Democrats.
[SPEAKER_15]: Why are Democrats doing more?
[SPEAKER_15]: What exactly do they want them to do?
[SPEAKER_15]: We don't have any power right now.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right.
[SPEAKER_08]: And Democrats are actually doing a lot of things that we want them to do.
[SPEAKER_08]: I have to.
[SPEAKER_08]: I continually remind folks.
[SPEAKER_08]: I know, Jody, you and I both have that other things that we can still knock Schumer and Jeffries for.

[SPEAKER_08]: And that you can still win.
[SPEAKER_08]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_08]: So yes.
[SPEAKER_08]: Ask go like hell, knock on doors, make phone calls.
[SPEAKER_08]: Do what you got to do to get people out to make sure if they can still be registered and places make sure they're registered.
[SPEAKER_08]: If you can set up, if you know how people set up a voting plan, do whatever to hell you got to do to make sure that people get things where they need to be get things.
[SPEAKER_04]: I helped two friends of mine vote last year that couldn't see that well and like, okay, what do we do here?
[SPEAKER_04]: I said, well, I'm not going to tell you how to vote, but here's the information.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, and they came to my house with their absentee ballots, and they just, okay, what about, they're like, well, we want to vote for Kamala Harris.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, there's where that is.
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, you know, yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: I hope you know whatever way you can I think I think that's important.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think that's something we're going to see tomorrow with the no Kings rallies is inevitable.
[SPEAKER_08]: I guarantee so some places people are going to park there will be parking garages.
[SPEAKER_08]: You're going to have elevator.
[SPEAKER_08]: Somebody going to have a stroll or something.
[SPEAKER_08]: We'll chair.
[SPEAKER_15]: I do friends coming with walkers.
[SPEAKER_08]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, I'm going to have voter registration.
[SPEAKER_15]: I don't know, I have no idea.
[SPEAKER_08]: These events, they are depends on where you're at in the country, but a lot of them are going to have voter registration where they can.
[SPEAKER_08]: I assume downtown LA will.
[SPEAKER_08]: I would bet.
[SPEAKER_15]: I would bet.
[SPEAKER_15]: It's so hard to register voter serum because you have to be certified by.
[SPEAKER_08]: And yet I would not be surprised.
[SPEAKER_08]: So the best thing to do is check no kings dot org wherever you guys happen to be check for your local local locations ones that are closest to you and for those that can't There are going to be outlets.
[SPEAKER_08]: I know that free speech TV is going to be doing some live programming.
[SPEAKER_15]: You know, streaming it.
[SPEAKER_08]: So I'm probably.
[SPEAKER_08]: Probably.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: So the idea is simply, you know, look, hey, follow the Ole Mr. Rogers advice.
[SPEAKER_08]: Look for the helpers, guys.
[SPEAKER_08]: And be the helpers for other people, Lincoln.
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, Anita, I did read that Governor Abbott is sending the guard to Austin tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, I'm just Austin is that it's going to be the little.
[SPEAKER_15]: Is it going to be the heavy guys, though?
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, Austin does have good barbecue.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yes, it's a nice.
[SPEAKER_15]: I'm surprised because last time you see was sending them San Antonio and maybe Austin and Dallas, but.
[SPEAKER_15]: If he just said us, and I don't know why he would just be said, well, well, that's true.
[SPEAKER_08]: There's a lot of things that we have seen around there.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, it's going to be a big rally.
[SPEAKER_08]: Maybe they'd ordered text mex before, and this time they want more barbecue.
[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, just I don't know.
[SPEAKER_15]: Well, we have both, so.
[SPEAKER_15]: But yeah, but often we'll probably have the biggest rally.
[SPEAKER_15]: That's not because it's a capital, so they can't put away.
[SPEAKER_08]: You know, and it's also kind of a blue dot.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's very blue.
[SPEAKER_15]: Other than the pro castors like Joe Rogan and his crew.
[SPEAKER_15]: Right.
[SPEAKER_15]: The comedy scene, although those guys are kind of taking a hit, it's not as popular.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, in Austin City limits has always been, you know, that's it.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, that's the ground forever.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: But yeah, wherever people are, and if you are, if you do happen to be in a quote unquote red state, first of all, I've, I still hate that red state blue state thing because some people of, of their independence and Democrats in quote unquote red states and there are independence and Republicans, even Margaret Republicans, there are
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, that's true because it's California's a really big state and there's a lot of Democrats in Texas.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right.
[SPEAKER_08]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_08]: So.
[SPEAKER_08]: Look, that's you guys.
[SPEAKER_08]: You got to you got to get a pay attention.
[SPEAKER_08]: Those things.
[SPEAKER_08]: There are so a couple of sad notes have to point out today.
[SPEAKER_08]: We had this in the news on tap.
[SPEAKER_08]: Susan Stamberg, the founding mother of NPR, died at 87, which.
[SPEAKER_15]: Oh, how am I talking about that?
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, that's farce.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, it's good to be talking about that.
[SPEAKER_08]: How will be talking with Jodie about that tomorrow?
[SPEAKER_04]: Because she's going to be on his show tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
[SPEAKER_08]: Tomorrow on WCPT, which is very cool.
[SPEAKER_08]: By the way, for those of you who thought that Trump would not refile that suit against the New York Times, the $15 bajillion dollar suit.
[SPEAKER_08]: It would be refiled.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, refiled.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, well, that would be interesting if he actually goes to that.
[SPEAKER_08]: It'll get laughed at again because it's just, it's ridiculous.
[SPEAKER_04]: He doesn't want to be deposed.
[SPEAKER_04]: He doesn't, that's the part, no, he doesn't want to be deposed.
[SPEAKER_04]: He doesn't like.
[SPEAKER_15]: Exactly exactly what about the Wall Street Journal.
[SPEAKER_15]: He's so ridiculous.
[SPEAKER_08]: He's he's just he is absolutely ridiculous on all of this stuff and I just I don't worry about it anymore when it comes to some of the stupid there's there's so much stupid stuff They do on their side.
[SPEAKER_15]: You can't worry about Hands That's a lot more you know important to pay attention to
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, exactly.
[SPEAKER_08]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_08]: There is so much more support.
[SPEAKER_08]: One of the things that we kind of dodged a little bit talking about.
[SPEAKER_08]: So Donnie sent another few missiles into another boat.
[SPEAKER_08]: Hmm.
[SPEAKER_08]: But there's survivors.
[SPEAKER_08]: Uh-huh.
[SPEAKER_15]: The survivors now are going to have been, are they going to, how many, three?
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, I think.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's true.
[SPEAKER_08]: They're from Trinidad.
[SPEAKER_08]: Here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_08]: You're bringing into it a whole nother nation.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: And you're bringing into it other things because this is, so, you know, I mean, just, we are not the only country in the world where people from other countries come to work.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_08]: And clearly, these Trinidadian fishermen went to Venezuela to work and they were on a boat.
[SPEAKER_15]: Well, they, he also did a Columbia, one of the boats he's, they, they sunk was Columbia.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, there.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's, it's getting, there, there is a bipartisan effort.
[SPEAKER_08]: And I don't remember if this got into the, uh, into the news on tap today.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think we actually ended up cutting because there's just so many stories.
[SPEAKER_08]: But, um, uh, there is a bipartisan efforts.
[SPEAKER_08]: Uh, it failed, uh, was it last week, the week before, to rain him in.
[SPEAKER_04]: Uh,
[SPEAKER_08]: And there is a second effort coming again to rain him in because there are enough and it's in the Senate So we don't know what the house is like that's that's you know tiny Johnson So we don't even know where they are in the house.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, but in the Senate it looks like they may actually be able to pass this to say look
[SPEAKER_08]: We want to rain in the ability because the president should not just be able to whoever is sitting in there.
[SPEAKER_08]: I know.
[SPEAKER_08]: Extracted tissue.
[SPEAKER_15]: The exact.
[SPEAKER_15]: He's trying to get Venezuela to react, right?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_15]: He's got the E admitted.
[SPEAKER_15]: They want to try regime change.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah, and everything is a provocation with him.
[SPEAKER_16]: I mean, he's trying to provoke Americans, you know, into conflict and
[SPEAKER_08]: Yep, and we have to be aware of tomorrow as well.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, just just like if y'all remember, back during 2020, back during the right day, you had the black block people during the Jordan Road protest.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, I'm Roman, I'm Roman and Minnesota.
[SPEAKER_08]: So, yeah, no, I was Karen and I have been talking about this is going to be pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro
[SPEAKER_15]: They're doing that.
[SPEAKER_15]: They're training everybody.
[SPEAKER_15]: I mean, I, last time I went to this little civil, I mean, civil of shirts, the very small town outside of San Antonio.
[SPEAKER_15]: And that's where I get the protests.
[SPEAKER_15]: And they're coming out there and they're training everybody if there's any kind of problem, like you said, and the business is doing it right now.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, I'm doing it right now.
[SPEAKER_08]: One of the co-directors and co-founders of indivisible, Leah Greenberg here in the bar lesson.
[SPEAKER_08]: And she mentioned it.
[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, that is one of the primary things that indivisible does is conflict of version training.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yep, conflict, diversion training.
[SPEAKER_08]: So they are training people to make sure that these, all of these rallies, all these no kings rallies are peaceful.
[SPEAKER_15]: And know your rights, know your rights.
[SPEAKER_15]: Hey, and be careful if somebody comes up and you think, hey, look, they're trying to start something.
[SPEAKER_15]: What's going on here?
[SPEAKER_15]: Point them out.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_15]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_16]: From a point them out.
[SPEAKER_16]: I remember two of them.
[SPEAKER_16]: The one of the George Floyd protests and there was some young white dude bashing in the curb with a hammer to make chunks of concrete and a bunch of the young activists went or protested over, grabbed him and brought him right over to the police.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, there are a lot of ways to be proactive.
[SPEAKER_08]: But make sure you guys aren't doing violent things.
[SPEAKER_08]: Because that's what they're looking for.
[SPEAKER_08]: He's been looking to start a conflict.
[SPEAKER_16]: And I think, and this is what I've been telling, you know, the young primarily white kids because it could be my kids, right?
[SPEAKER_16]: Over at the Broadway Extension Center, right?
[SPEAKER_16]: That.
[SPEAKER_16]: You know, we have the Broadway police who, and I spoke with the chief of police today, he's like, call me anytime because we have a first aid tent over there to help people if they get, you know, chemical munitions, but, you know, he is so appreciative of the people that are there and our understanding of the fact that they are in a really tough situation.
[SPEAKER_16]: are there.
[SPEAKER_16]: The state police are there.
[SPEAKER_16]: And it first when they show up, yes, they have riot gear because people are like, what do they have riot gear?
[SPEAKER_16]: It seems like they're up for a provocation.
[SPEAKER_16]: Because they have to be prepared for anything, any of these provocative tours that show up.
[SPEAKER_16]: The mayor of Broadview has done an executive order.
[SPEAKER_16]: We're supposed
[SPEAKER_16]: Any other time you're subject to a rise, it is a prime predominantly black and brown community.
[SPEAKER_16]: I say, we have to respect that.
[SPEAKER_16]: You don't have to, you know, you may have some issues with it, whatever, but this she is looking out for her community.
[SPEAKER_08]: Just a little bit of a residential area too.
[SPEAKER_08]: It is.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, sure.
[SPEAKER_16]: It is like right across the street.
[SPEAKER_16]: There's a whole residential area.
[SPEAKER_16]: And they've had their streets shut down and they haven't been able to come in and out of their
[SPEAKER_16]: So it is, you know, it is something that I think that we as allies, if we truly want to be an ally to the Black and Brown community, we have to be smart, plus we don't want to play into Donald Trump's narrative, right?
[SPEAKER_16]: And that's right.
[SPEAKER_08]: There's a few groups coming back when you first come back.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah, I mean, and there are a few groups that are telling people, oh, come, we're going to be over there Saturday at 7 a.m. And I've been posting on their social media pages like no, it's 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
[SPEAKER_16]: It's a time.
[SPEAKER_16]: Really care about these communities, then you'll abide by the rule.
[SPEAKER_16]: Yeah, I guess what?
[SPEAKER_16]: You get to leave, you get to leave and you get to go back home.
[SPEAKER_15]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_15]: after curfew.
[SPEAKER_15]: Remember, you know, those people that come in there and start trouble.
[SPEAKER_15]: So yeah, what people need to leave.
[SPEAKER_15]: Yeah, yeah, leave.
[SPEAKER_15]: Follow your rules.
[SPEAKER_08]: Follow the rules.
[SPEAKER_08]: All right.
[SPEAKER_08]: We will see you guys out at the No Kings protest tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_08]: We're going to do a bit more in the after hours here because it is right.
