[SPEAKER_06]: We will have a very good drink of the day kind of a A dark and more fun drink of the day little devilish if you might say yes.
[SPEAKER_07]: You might say that.
[SPEAKER_07]: Also since it is Thursday It's Thursday's with Thuba Fang through the thing who we thought is definitely more towards the day
[SPEAKER_07]: exactly.
[SPEAKER_07]: We'll have job because later here at the bar of course we've got the news on tap for you as well.
[SPEAKER_07]: Thank you by the way everybody coming in to the bar tonight from wherever a little whatever location you happen to be coming in where you're coming in from the tour talk in Tennessee or WCPT AMA 20 Chicago.
[SPEAKER_07]: Maybe you were listening on AM950 Minneapolis April or maybe you were listening on Georgia now radio in Atlanta.
[SPEAKER_07]: Or maybe you're listening to progressive voices radio worldwide, or every avenue, or maybe maybe you are one of those magical future people, future people, future people, future people.
[SPEAKER_07]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_07]: In which case, thank you very much.
[SPEAKER_07]: We appreciate whenever you listen.
[SPEAKER_07]: Whatever time it happens to be, because of course, the time change is coming up this weekend.
[SPEAKER_07]: Things you need to note, if you don't have these on your calendar already.
[SPEAKER_07]: A, the time change is coming up this weekend, unless you're in Arizona or Hawaii.
[SPEAKER_07]: airs on our Hawaii or other places on the planet that don't do the whole damn time shift like we do in the US.
[SPEAKER_07]: Also, by the way, next Tuesday is election day.
[SPEAKER_07]: So if you can vote early, you damn well better vote now.
[SPEAKER_07]: And if you can't, you damn well better vote next Tuesday and you should be voting hopefully in the most entails in matter possible.
[SPEAKER_09]: And if there are any people poll watchers that intimidate you, don't let them do that.
[SPEAKER_09]: Stay in line if there's a line and get your
[SPEAKER_07]: Hey, man, Jodie is right.
[SPEAKER_09]: Don't let them intimidate you.
[SPEAKER_09]: It can Jersey or in California.
[SPEAKER_07]: The big ones that we're looking at, that we want to remind you of, obviously.
[SPEAKER_07]: Of course, Prop 15, California.
[SPEAKER_07]: Are we vote, Jodie?
[SPEAKER_07]: I voted, yes.
[SPEAKER_07]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_07]: Maine, Prop 1, you want to vote, no.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: Because you like being able to vote from home.
[SPEAKER_07]: So vote no and Maine on that one in New Jersey and in Virginia.
[SPEAKER_07]: Please vote democratic all the way down the ballad every single one of those and don't argue with me about it Just do it.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's a smart thing because otherwise these idiots are all gonna do what trump wants and then you're not actually voting for somebody who ran for the election You're voting for whatever trump wants would actually means you're voting for whatever president Steven Miller wants Just say
[SPEAKER_07]: So there you go.
[SPEAKER_07]: Also Pennsylvania, make sure to keep the state Supreme Court Democratic, because that would be really smart.
[SPEAKER_07]: Also there's a mayoral election in the Twin Cities.
[SPEAKER_07]: Uh-huh.
[SPEAKER_07]: That debate about you.
[SPEAKER_07]: You can vote over.
[SPEAKER_07]: You want on that.
[SPEAKER_07]: Just make sure to smart vote on that.
[SPEAKER_07]: There are lots of elections around the country.
[SPEAKER_07]: So look, make sure you're registered.
[SPEAKER_07]: Make sure you vote.
[SPEAKER_07]: Don't be an idiot.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_09]: All right.
[SPEAKER_09]: So how's your third day, Johnny?
[SPEAKER_09]: So far so good.
[SPEAKER_09]: Little tired?
[SPEAKER_09]: Little.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, I, because, because I have the boy, the dog, you can't see him, but he's free.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_09]: Hello, little one.
[SPEAKER_09]: His name is Eno.
[SPEAKER_09]: And so we, because it's more comfortable for me to sleep in our,
[SPEAKER_09]: pool house.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's a bigger bed, right?
[SPEAKER_09]: So we try to make it into this part of the compound into the big house between raccoon sightings.
[SPEAKER_09]: So.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, around 2 a.m. We walk back in and usually the raccoons aren't there at least this week.
[SPEAKER_09]: So far, hopefully that'll hold through Sunday because it's a little it's hilarious because they'll be out at like midnight or 10 p.m. And I'm out to the world.
[SPEAKER_09]: But my phone does ding when there's the cameras go off.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, interesting.
[SPEAKER_09]: And so, like, if I hear it at like one dish, I'll be like, who's out there?
[SPEAKER_09]: You're now, please don't.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, they don't do the reckons in your neighborhood don't do any damage, really, do they?
[SPEAKER_09]: No, but I don't want the dog going out because he chased them and they'd win.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's totally understandable.
[SPEAKER_07]: Totally understandably.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, you want it.
[SPEAKER_07]: You actually want to try and keep the piece and you don't want to, you know, create unnecessary and stupid conflict where, you know, nobody's actually going to win.
[SPEAKER_07]: You mean like unlike Donald Trump.
[SPEAKER_09]: nuclear bombs maybe going on.
[SPEAKER_07]: That whole thing.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh my God.
[SPEAKER_07]: We got all of that in the news on tap today.
[SPEAKER_07]: Judging wants to start out with the big one.
[SPEAKER_07]: So that is where we'll start off.
[SPEAKER_09]: With the mushroom cloud, which is maybe he could thought about the mushroom because of whip stormy.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean it's entirely possible.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean he likes a little teeny tiny mushroom, baby.
[SPEAKER_09]: What's the biggest?
[SPEAKER_07]: He does like tiny things.
[SPEAKER_07]: Just ask Mike Johnson.
[SPEAKER_07]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_07]: And Nihoo, uh, look.
[SPEAKER_07]: We will start a little bit further down.
[SPEAKER_07]: We'll start in the third round in this section.
[SPEAKER_07]: Kegbreaths war on the military.
[SPEAKER_07]: So freaked out a lot of people last night.
[SPEAKER_07]: Trump ordering the Pentagon to begin testing nuclear weapons quote immediately on quote.
[SPEAKER_07]: And here's a key quote quote on an equal basis and quote with Russia and China.
[SPEAKER_09]: They're not doing that.
[SPEAKER_07]: Once the last time, by the way, that Russia were China tested nukes, I don't know if you do, but I don't know.
[SPEAKER_09]: I know we did in 1992.
[SPEAKER_09]: That was the last time we did.
[SPEAKER_07]: Correct.
[SPEAKER_07]: That is right.
[SPEAKER_07]: Last time China tested, July 29th.
[SPEAKER_07]: That was 1996.
[SPEAKER_07]: I believe it was, and Russia last did it in 1990.
[SPEAKER_09]: So, okay, so China was the most recent outside of North Korea.
[SPEAKER_07]: By the way, all three nations signed onto a nuclear test band treaty both in the 60s and another one in 1996.
[SPEAKER_07]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_09]: Right after China did that.
[SPEAKER_09]: So, and they're about to expire again, so this is bad.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, there's there are other things that are going on with this.
[SPEAKER_07]: But here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_07]: Trump thinks that Russia is testing nuclear weapons.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's not.
[SPEAKER_09]: As much as I hate Putin, that's not the truth.
[SPEAKER_07]: Donald is testing nuclear powered drones.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's different.
[SPEAKER_07]: Nuclear powered delivery device.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's different.
[SPEAKER_07]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: There's, there, there is an absolute difference.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's, it's the difference between taking gasoline and putting it into a bottle and throwing them all off cocktail and taking gasoline and putting it into your vehicle.
[SPEAKER_07]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_07]: One makes the vehicle go.
[SPEAKER_07]: Now, yes, I mean, there are ways to make it blow up in your, in your vehicle and we don't want to do that.
[SPEAKER_07]: But one of these is an actual weapon and one of them isn't, and yet they both use gasoline.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's the same concepts.
[SPEAKER_07]: only for some reason, whoever is around Donald, you know, whoever is running Donald today, whether it's Stephen Miller or Christy the Nome or whoever, nobody seems to be able to explain this simple concept to the dumbass.
[SPEAKER_07]: So somebody says nuclear and he goes nuclear, oh, okay, we'll do it too.
[SPEAKER_09]: This he actually pronounced it right.
[SPEAKER_07]: He actually, I believe, I'm like George Delby.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, he didn't, I was always just every time you say new killer.
[SPEAKER_09]: I would be like, it's an easy word to pronounce.
[SPEAKER_09]: As I go with people say, jewelry, instead of jewelry, jewelry.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, okay, I get that.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, because it's jewelry.
[SPEAKER_07]: It bugs me.
[SPEAKER_07]: Look, although we were joking about this yesterday, I love my wife dearly, but she says things like orange or RNG as it was spelled that way, orange as opposed to orange and she and I joke about that also she she says crayon crayon crayon crayon and I go right and I say like raspberry like crayon raspberry she's like no crayon and I'm like yeah raspberry you right with that you know I want to write with it
[SPEAKER_07]: And I'm right with cranberry's cool.
[SPEAKER_07]: She's gonna slap me for saying this.
[SPEAKER_09]: Did she listen to the show?
[SPEAKER_09]: Because if so, you're in a lot of trouble, did.
[SPEAKER_07]: She listens occasionally to the things that I do, and then she just shakes her head and she's like, okay, whatever.
[SPEAKER_07]: We've been together 30 years, thankfully, so you know, let's
[SPEAKER_07]: She's put up with me for that long.
[SPEAKER_07]: Woo hoo!
[SPEAKER_07]: She's up for saying it, I get it, anyway.
[SPEAKER_07]: But back to the orange moron.
[SPEAKER_07]: So the whole deal is, there was even military official today.
[SPEAKER_07]: Navy Vice Admiral Richard Correll.
[SPEAKER_07]: He was testifying to the Senate's Ken Rwitch
[SPEAKER_07]: committee it was, but it was this confirmation hearing today.
[SPEAKER_07]: He's a set to become the head of U.S. strategic strategic command, Stratcom, or as we folks in Nebraska call it, often air force base, same place anyway.
[SPEAKER_07]: And he literally said today that Trump tweeting this out about the nuclear weapons.
[SPEAKER_07]: He's like, I wouldn't presume that Trump's announcement will be,
[SPEAKER_07]: Effectively, he stumbled his way through it and basically said, yeah, Trump's little comment didn't mean squat I mean when to take a few years if we're gonna do underground especially I mean does he want to do above ground stuff cuz that's dangerous?
[SPEAKER_07]: There are yeah if he wanted to do at what they call atmospheric testing that would violate God is the half dozen treaties that we have in other things and they could hit us with trade stuff and then there's issues we'll talk about there But here's another big thing
[SPEAKER_07]: He said he wanted the defense department to test nukes.
[SPEAKER_07]: Who test nukes, Jodi?
[SPEAKER_07]: Is it defense or is it energy?
[SPEAKER_07]: I would go with energy.
[SPEAKER_07]: Jodi is right.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_07]: The energy department actually handles the nukes.
[SPEAKER_07]: Why?
[SPEAKER_07]: because we still use nukes with energy.
[SPEAKER_07]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_07]: They are an option for the military, but they're like the absolute last resort because if we use it, then everybody dies and everything ends.
[SPEAKER_07]: Generally speaking.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh.
[SPEAKER_07]: I saw the day after.
[SPEAKER_07]: But yeah, that's why we don't do that, folks.
[SPEAKER_07]: So yeah, that all of his nuclear stupidity is just ridiculousness.
[SPEAKER_07]: And of course people you know freak out just like when people uh here last week we're going Steve Bannon says he's gonna make a third term.
[SPEAKER_07]: Dude, he ain't gonna live that long.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't know, what was it, who was it today?
[SPEAKER_07]: I think it was somebody on Steph's show, actually.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm trying to remember, it's been a long day for me too.
[SPEAKER_07]: Then I was thinking, there've been multiple people said this, I think I heard Franchalists say it too.
[SPEAKER_07]: He's not gonna live that long.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't think he's gonna live through this term.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, I don't think so either.
[SPEAKER_07]: He's not well.
[SPEAKER_09]: He's not well.
[SPEAKER_07]: He doesn't.
[SPEAKER_07]: It doesn't mean that I'm sitting there saying killed man.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm just saying God.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, he's not healthy and again, I believe I read that it would take three to five years at least three years for us to be capable of doing underground nuclear testing again, so it would not surprise me.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, that's the end of his term.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I
[SPEAKER_07]: these are a lot of the things that they do and a lot of our friends in the media still have not figured it out even after a decade that when Donald Trump says whatever he says or his people go ah, fact of matter is not so much.
[SPEAKER_09]: I think it's just another distraction against the Epstein files because eventually Grahalva has to be seated and if not, I'm going to sue.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, at this point, I'm getting ready to sue Mike Johnson.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, I mean, you know, look, I would, I would be perfectly fine to see you throttle to have that tiny job.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, you know, that came out wrong, I'm sorry, now I didn't.
[SPEAKER_09]: I would, you know what, I would do if I lived in her district and voted for her, would
[SPEAKER_09]: And for anybody that lives in her district, who's district?
[SPEAKER_09]: Garhava's.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: And do a class action lawsuit because she should have been seated a month ago.
[SPEAKER_07]: The Arizona AG is already soon.
[SPEAKER_09]: I bet on behalf of all the people who are in her district.
[SPEAKER_09]: Okay, so it's not quite a class action, but I would start a class action suit too.
[SPEAKER_07]: Just to be like, That's a thought.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's a thought.
[SPEAKER_09]: Because they have standing.
[SPEAKER_07]: I just look at the whole thing and go, it's all dumb, and he's going, it's going to be sooner than later, because as we do know, at the top of the news on Tap Today, dozens of farm St. Republicans are finally reaching their breaking point, and they're talking with Democrats about this, and they're doing it in the open, so that way journalists actually can see it.
[SPEAKER_07]: So the shutdown, the end of it is coming sooner than later, and that, of course,
[SPEAKER_07]: Donnie Johnson's going to have to swear in Adelaide Grahalva, he gets where her in today.
[SPEAKER_09]: There's no need for them to be in session.
[SPEAKER_09]: He gets where her in today.
[SPEAKER_07]: Hell, technically he could do it tonight.
[SPEAKER_07]: He could go open the house and swear in.
[SPEAKER_07]: Look, we will talk more about the news of the day.
[SPEAKER_07]: As we mentioned, John Fugle saying, coming in tonight, he's got news on his tour.
[SPEAKER_07]: And yes, we have that drink of the day.
[SPEAKER_07]: All of that and more, it's a Thursday night.
[SPEAKER_07]: You got you, Jody, you got you me?
[SPEAKER_07]: We got you.
[SPEAKER_07]: Fresh it up, you drink, and come on back.
[SPEAKER_10]: For another round, here at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_07]: It is a Thursday night.
[SPEAKER_07]: Here at the politics bar, thank you very much for coming in and hanging out with us.
[SPEAKER_07]: Wherever you happen to be, remember, we are on all of your favorite social media platforms, and even the ones you hate.
[SPEAKER_07]: So we are out there on Blue Sky and Substack.
[SPEAKER_07]: Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and yes, we're on Twitter as well.
[SPEAKER_07]: You can find us at any of those places at...
[SPEAKER_07]: the politics mark of course you can also give us a call on that bar line like some of you have stop using the hamburger phone no please two one three eight seven seven seventy two fifty eight two one three six seven seven seven seven two five eight is the bar line here leave a message and you know if it's a good thing if you leave a good question maybe we'll bring you back in for the conversation it's just simple two one three six seven seven salt like in your
[SPEAKER_07]: All right, Thursday night here at the politics bar, day in into that news on tap, pulling around off of that.
[SPEAKER_07]: And the shutdown, as you know, is still going on, I have not checked, I knew that earlier today.
[SPEAKER_07]: There's a judge, federal judge who basically, she got pissed about the whole snap thing.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I haven't seen if her ruling has came out yet.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'll have to double check here, maybe the next break or so.
[SPEAKER_07]: but she basically made it clear that she is indicating she will intervene and force the Trump regime to give in.
[SPEAKER_07]: And, and, and.
[SPEAKER_09]: money's allocated it's there.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's ridiculous.
[SPEAKER_07]: There are actually multiple funds.
[SPEAKER_07]: There is a I believe there's a five million dollar default backup fund.
[SPEAKER_07]: And then there is like 19 million in another fund.
[SPEAKER_09]: I thought it was billions not millions, five million we cover people, five billion.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right, sorry, you're right, billions to the million, right.
[SPEAKER_07]: But anyway, the point is the money is there.
[SPEAKER_07]: The money is there that see and even even the Republicans who are saying, well, there's there's five in the
[SPEAKER_07]: that that won't get you through november okay planning on saying close to the november exactly so that's fourteen billion dollars and
[SPEAKER_07]: Right, back in on the system again, it is it's insane the the comments that the Republicans are making on this type of stuff and it's easy to see why the farm state Republicans are getting this back.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, Donald claims he says in this quote unquote deal with China, we'll talk about that a little bit that China is now committing to buying US soybeans again.
[SPEAKER_10]: We'll see.
[SPEAKER_07]: anything on paper.
[SPEAKER_07]: If it ain't on paper and the lawyers haven't seen it, basically it's the old, uh, kind.
[SPEAKER_07]: I had a, um, old teacher used to say this and they blood on paper.
[SPEAKER_09]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_07]: When somebody would say it's done, he'd say blood on paper.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, yeah, I mean, an oral contract isn't worth the paper.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's written on.
[SPEAKER_07]: very good and also correct.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, it's an oral contract, which I won't even go there.
[SPEAKER_07]: I won't go there.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'll be really good.
[SPEAKER_09]: I know my mom with her first agent, they never had paper between them and they were together for 30 years.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, there's other wrong with it.
[SPEAKER_07]: If it works, there are states, there are legally, there are states where it's called oral is written, which if you have a contract and both people agree and blah blah blah, then yes, it's, you know, it is as enforceable, so long as both parties agree that the things were said that were said that were in the agreement.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's why you record it.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, but long and short, most people in most contracts, and especially when you're dealing with things like international trade, everybody wants it on paper.
[SPEAKER_07]: But the farmers, they've made this pretty clear.
[SPEAKER_07]: This is getting really hairy for them.
[SPEAKER_07]: And that's why you're seeing some of these farm state Republican members of Congress getting there.
[SPEAKER_07]: By the way, for those of you wanting to know the cost, the cost of this wonderful escapade by congressional Republicans is $7 billion a month.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's primary cost.
[SPEAKER_07]: That isn't secondary.
[SPEAKER_07]: Because remember, for example, with the snap phones,
[SPEAKER_07]: You're not giving the money to the families of the kids who are suffering.
[SPEAKER_07]: But then they buy groceries with them, so then everybody at the grocery stores is also not getting that money.
[SPEAKER_07]: So then they will may have to pull back on who they're employing and the hours that they're giving those folks and then those folks aren't going to be spending the money elsewhere.
[SPEAKER_09]: And believe it's a dollar snap returns at least a dollar 50 back to a dollar 80 back.
[SPEAKER_07]: Leave something like that.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: So I think it used to be $1.39.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's closer to $1.50.
[SPEAKER_07]: But yeah, I think it goes up to $1.70.
[SPEAKER_07]: $1.80.
[SPEAKER_07]: I think you're right.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, so that's a great return on one's investment.
[SPEAKER_09]: Huge.
[SPEAKER_07]: Huge.
[SPEAKER_07]: You cannot get investment returns like that in a guaranteed way in any stock market.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, God.
[SPEAKER_09]: No.
[SPEAKER_09]: $7.50 to 70% return on your investment.
[SPEAKER_09]: Are you kidding me?
[SPEAKER_07]: Hmm.
[SPEAKER_07]: But, you know, this is this is.
[SPEAKER_07]: They're the dirty poor people.
[SPEAKER_09]: which are their constituents.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, and most people, I said this earlier, work at Walmart, Target, McDonald's and other things, and they're we're subsidizing those companies because they're not paying.
[SPEAKER_09]: So we're paying for Walmart employees to eat instead of Walmart giving them a decent wage so that they don't need the food stamps.
[SPEAKER_07]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_07]: We are paying for them to deal with this.
[SPEAKER_07]: In fact, actually tiny Johnson was on CNN earlier today, caught this and here I got this on the DVR because he admitted the problem actually is that Republicans are the ones who are fusing to fund SNAP because it would reduce pressure on the Democrats, which if you're the one applying pressure, that means you have power and control.
[SPEAKER_00]: But the reality is that this has been a stalemate for 30 days, and it's not just Democrats.
[SPEAKER_00]: You also have one of the most conservative Republican senators, Josh Hawley, who says, at least please move money around to feed people.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why not consider that?
[SPEAKER_04]: Because if you deviate from the goal of reopening the entire government, Chuck Schumer, and the radicals over there will continue to play games with people's paychecks, their livelihoods.
[SPEAKER_04]: And if you do just part of this, it will reduce the pressure
[SPEAKER_09]: then he's it he's absolutely admitting to the fact that they have the control correct.
[SPEAKER_07]: They have the control he's admitting it and what's again he's an idiot and we know this.
[SPEAKER_07]: This is one of the reasons we keep saying look we call him tiny Johnson because he's a small person and because he's impotent and many other reasons but this is you know and he's doing it to himself and notice somebody pointed it on I think on Stephanie
[SPEAKER_09]: during Joe Biden's presidency, he had a very slight margin in the Senate and a slight margin in the House.
[SPEAKER_09]: And still there were no shutdowns.
[SPEAKER_07]: Not only were there no shutdowns, Joe Biden and Kamal Harris and the Democrats during the first two years accomplished so much.
[SPEAKER_07]: One of the only administrations that got, I mean, they got almost as much done in some ways as FDR did during one of his terms.
[SPEAKER_09]: And they didn't have the margins.
[SPEAKER_09]: No.
[SPEAKER_09]: FDR had some serious wind in his sales, same with President Johnson.
[SPEAKER_09]: They had a lot of, they had huge margins, big Johnson's.
[SPEAKER_09]: They both had huge margins in the House and Senate, so it was easier to pass their legislation
[SPEAKER_09]: Phil Buster proof, especially that those days, the Phil Buster I think was 67, so it was that proof and that for Joe Biden and Barack Obama to get done what they got done with ten to ten little margins kind of incredible work.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, but you know it we never hear about that in the media.
[SPEAKER_07]: We have been hearing about the ACA and I'm very glad that the ACA point is getting through and it's getting through even didn't you say you heard somebody on like Fox or something be like, oh yeah, you know, it's getting it's getting through.
[SPEAKER_09]: It did.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, I don't think they said it, but I think that because they're talking about how the Democrats want to expand and they're saying it's for undocumented immigrants, but which is
[SPEAKER_09]: which is not true.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's for the Medicaid stuff.
[SPEAKER_09]: But even the AC, it's just not true.
[SPEAKER_09]: But regardless they're saying, yeah, they want to bring the subsidies back.
[SPEAKER_07]: They want to keep the subsidy.
[SPEAKER_07]: They want to bring what Democrats keep up.
[SPEAKER_07]: What we have right now, the subsidies we have now are set to expire at the end of this year.
[SPEAKER_07]: December 31st, poof, happy new year, subsidies go away.
[SPEAKER_07]: All the Democrats are saying is, let's continue to keep the subsidies that we already have.
[SPEAKER_07]: Let's, let's, let's do what we're already doing without screwing people over.
[SPEAKER_07]: And even though that would actually hurt Democrats more politically, Democrats are still doing it anyway because it's actually better for the people than they represent.
[SPEAKER_07]: So that's kind of the job.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, the meme that's going around social media right now is yeah, the Republicans say we'll give you the snap money as soon as the Democrats agreed to get rid of your ACA subsidies right no food for you until the Democrats let us take away your health care which.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I know that's getting through as much as Johnson and others want to say it's a soon yesterday was so mad.
[SPEAKER_09]: He was so mad.
[SPEAKER_07]: He was doing such a performative tantrum.
[SPEAKER_07]: John Thun was on it.
[SPEAKER_07]: Look, I've I lived in South Dakota for a year.
[SPEAKER_07]: I've been familiar with some of these folks like Thun and Nome from there longer than I'd liked to be.
[SPEAKER_07]: Thun has to get really really worked up to get worked up.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, the man is is, you know, if you're looking for a replacement on Mitch McConnell as far as excitability and personality wise man, they met that turtle by our real low right there, just flat, but the fact is it was performative nonsense and yet the mainstream media is ran with it, which is stupid.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, I mean, the funny thing is is they basically the Democrats had a bill and I don't even think he allowed it to the floor of the Senate.
[SPEAKER_09]: So, that's on him.
[SPEAKER_07]: Democrats have tried multiple different ways to try to get bills in through the Senate because obviously we know tiny Johnson's keeping a house close to say, look, we'd like to pay for the snap stuff.
[SPEAKER_07]: We'd like to keep doing the snap stuff like we done before.
[SPEAKER_07]: We'd like to pay for the military if you're going to keep in the, we'd like to do this and Republicans haven't let them.
[SPEAKER_07]: And Republicans are saying, well, you've voted down our stupid bill 13 times.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, because it's exactly the same stupid bill each time.
[SPEAKER_07]: The bill that says, we're going to keep everything the same except we're also going to be allowed to screw you over and screw over all the people who need the ACA subsidies.
[SPEAKER_07]: All right.
[SPEAKER_07]: Democrats go, no, I'm not going to move for that, no.
[SPEAKER_07]: But that is something you and I talked about earlier is, so the media is getting it on number one.
[SPEAKER_07]: They're even getting it on number three, or pardon me.
[SPEAKER_07]: Uh, let me get this straight so everybody knows again.
[SPEAKER_07]: Thing number one, the Democrats want.
[SPEAKER_07]: Remember, no vaccines, no resisions, no cheating.
[SPEAKER_07]: Make a deal stick with it.
[SPEAKER_07]: Thing number two, we want the ACA subsidies.
[SPEAKER_07]: Keep things subsidized the way they are now.
[SPEAKER_07]: Till further notice, long time in the future.
[SPEAKER_07]: Thing number three, give us back the Medicare and Medicaid money that the Republican stole in the big ugly bill.
[SPEAKER_07]: Those are the only three things.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's Democrats' demands.
[SPEAKER_07]: They must get number one, they'll probably get number two, they hang on, get number three, but it's nice that they're fighting for it anyway.
[SPEAKER_07]: The media mainstream media seems to be getting numbers two and three.
[SPEAKER_07]: And oftentimes especially if you're on the right wing, they're like, ah, get back to Medicare and Medicaid, stupid poor people, which you're like, okay, that's literally your viewers, but anyway.
[SPEAKER_07]: But they all seem to be missing thing number one, which is still the fact that you make a deal,
[SPEAKER_07]: And that's it and part I think the reason a lot of the mainstream media voids that is because if they would say it that way
[SPEAKER_07]: Then, first of all, it paints the Republicans as evil and stupid as they are with this with respect to this.
[SPEAKER_07]: And be everybody goes, well, duh, make a deal.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: You stick to the deal that you make.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: Why would I, you know, why would I love that Jack?
[SPEAKER_09]: Why would you know, negotiate with somebody that you know is not going to live up to the deal.
[SPEAKER_09]: Why would you do that?
[SPEAKER_09]: I've said that to people that disagree with me.
[SPEAKER_09]: This one other guy that I went to high school with.
[SPEAKER_09]: And he's like, I said, here's where the problems.
[SPEAKER_09]: He goes, oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: I wouldn't negotiate with that either.
[SPEAKER_07]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's not rocket science, you know, it's it's the old thing of of why are you hitting yourself?
[SPEAKER_07]: Which is what Republicans are trying to say Democrats and Democrats are like I'm not hitting myself.
[SPEAKER_07]: You want me to But I'm not going to because that would be dumb.
[SPEAKER_07]: Speaking of dumb and speaking of agreements so we skip the second round we'll go down a little bit to some of the trade stuff because the trade stuff is it is interesting.
[SPEAKER_07]: So Trump and she met Whatever Trump got played
[SPEAKER_07]: Trump got played on on that particular thing.
[SPEAKER_07]: I am kind of surprised at how easy it's been.
[SPEAKER_07]: They met basically for 90 minutes.
[SPEAKER_07]: Trump was leaving the Asian Pacific Summit.
[SPEAKER_07]: She was coming in.
[SPEAKER_07]: They made a one year deal.
[SPEAKER_07]: And remember, by the way, that 90 minutes that they were meeting, there's a lot of translation.
[SPEAKER_07]: So really, it's about like a 45, 50 minute.
[SPEAKER_09]: At the longest, right?
[SPEAKER_07]: Basically, an hour, hour meeting, as far as effectively, they have a one-year deal.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's a one-year suspension of China's holding off on things, so we can still get the rare earth metals for technical stuff and computers and all that.
[SPEAKER_07]: Trump dropped the tariff 10%.
[SPEAKER_09]: Just dropped it from what it was by ten percent from fifty seven to forty seven.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, although remember when we started the year I think we were around two.
[SPEAKER_07]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_07]: So if anybody anybody questioning um forty seven bigger than two.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes Trump also is claiming China will begin to buy US soybeans again, but again as we mentioned that ain't on paper.
[SPEAKER_07]: So
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, I mean, that's the other thing with all these stupid tariffs.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's like, he keeps changing his mind.
[SPEAKER_09]: So how can companies plan right exactly that need these materials?
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't know how much he's going to cost the whole agreement that he did.
[SPEAKER_07]: It brings the US mostly back to the pre-liberation day thing except the tariffs are almost 50% higher than they were before his quote unquote liberation day this spring.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_07]: Almost everything else is now pretty much back to the way it was six months ago.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: So all of this drama, all of this ridiculousness.
[SPEAKER_07]: And we're no better often than in fact, we're a little worse off.
[SPEAKER_09]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, and again, he's terrifying countries and not specific things like Reagan did.
[SPEAKER_09]: And other people have done in the past.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's a strategic terror.
[SPEAKER_07]: No.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's taking it and just trying to use it as a hammer.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, it's just that's not how...
[SPEAKER_07]: No, I know.
[SPEAKER_07]: I know.
[SPEAKER_07]: You want to swear, but look, we're not going to swear.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay, we might swear in the break.
[SPEAKER_07]: But we swear when we come back, we won't swear.
[SPEAKER_09]: There are so many words I say in the break.
[SPEAKER_07]: We are going to get together that drink of the day and get that to you because, you know, it is a devilishly good drink.
[SPEAKER_07]: And we want to share it with you next Thursday night here on the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_07]: Hang on for another round.

[SPEAKER_09]: It's my friend's birthday.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, who?
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, a few friends actually.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's my one of my cousin's birthdays.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's Lonnie's old base players birthday.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, my neighbor's son.
[SPEAKER_09]: It was his birthday yesterday.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's a cool happy birthday to whoever if it's your birthday happy birthday.
[SPEAKER_07]: It is also by the way, I believe they're celebrating it if you're in Des Moines, if you're in Iowa somewhere, it's beggars night, beggars night was always good.
[SPEAKER_07]: I learned about that on the Obama Biden campaign when we were doing that back in 2008, and I was like, what the hell is beggars night?
[SPEAKER_07]: So we'll explain that here, it is part of the drink of the day.
[SPEAKER_07]: Of course, it is also a devilish holiday known as Devil's Night.
[SPEAKER_07]: Devil's Night, yes.
[SPEAKER_07]: Chody, what is the drink of the day?
[SPEAKER_09]: it's called a devil's own cocktail, which is inspired by a devil's night, which is historically the night before Halloween, just like the day of the dead is the day after Halloween, when you honor the dead, which I do, it's a wonderful celebration.
[SPEAKER_09]: It really is.
[SPEAKER_09]: Especially here, I mean, I hope they're going to do a nice one down on all the Ferris Street, but another ISIL probably show up so there's that.
[SPEAKER_09]: Um, yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, uh, you know, we'll talk about that too and about how they attacked our friend cat Abigail Zayla.
[SPEAKER_07]: Um, we're seeing she can come back to the bar and, uh, you know, you can talk to her now.
[SPEAKER_07]: She can take crap.
[SPEAKER_07]: She's tough.
[SPEAKER_07]: She's damn tough, but I still don't like it.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I want to do nasty things to them.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't want to do the things that were in the Crow though.
[SPEAKER_07]: The Crow is one of my, one of my favorite movies when I was in college, I actually took a, yes, this is another one of the things.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, Sean has a story.
[SPEAKER_07]: So I took
[SPEAKER_07]: We had this thing, you ever heard of these, you heard of J-Terms?
[SPEAKER_07]: No.
[SPEAKER_07]: So a J-Term at some schools have them, where they will do, some colleges have them, where they will do a January term.
[SPEAKER_07]: So you have the first semester, and you have the second semester, and in-between, basically is January, and through January, you do one class, and you focus on that class.
[SPEAKER_07]: like it is an in-depth drop in boom.
[SPEAKER_09]: Like a summer school kind of really intense class.
[SPEAKER_07]: And where I first started going to college, co-colleges and Cedar Rapids Iowa, they had J-school at the time.
[SPEAKER_07]: They were they had J-term at the time back and not J-school.
[SPEAKER_07]: They had J-term.
[SPEAKER_07]: And J-term is January term.
[SPEAKER_07]: So you would do something.
[SPEAKER_07]: For my first January term, I think I did
[SPEAKER_07]: because you could usually take two classes.
[SPEAKER_07]: You take one really in depth and you take one that you were like, oh, this is a blow-off class and it was not a blow-off class.
[SPEAKER_07]: So I took this film studies class and it was great.
[SPEAKER_07]: And one of the films that we studied was the Crow from 1994 with Brandon Lee and of course, that's all about Devil's Knight.
[SPEAKER_07]: And about how, you know, Scarf Ren gets killed and he gets killed and then he comes back and it's, I mean, some people think it's cheesy, but if you actually look
[SPEAKER_07]: film is done.
[SPEAKER_07]: The film is properly put together.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's actually a really well crafted film.
[SPEAKER_07]: So I, you know, I literally had to go through things frame by frame at times with the film.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's always been one of those that I kind of liked.
[SPEAKER_07]: And so, you know, that to me, I hadn't really been introduced to Devil's Night much before that.
[SPEAKER_07]: I was a cat out there.
[SPEAKER_07]: Then I really got into that.
[SPEAKER_07]: And we've even got a graphic.
[SPEAKER_07]: You can check it's in the drink of the day.
[SPEAKER_07]: uh... there's there's a whole history involved but uh... some of it is dark some of it is actually kind of fun there are uh... was it was a very late called in in England mischief night where the night before hallway and people you know taught tp people's homes put in the ring originally was in the spring originally it was it was supposed to be before mayday mayday exactly like mayday evening mischief night so it was the fun and mischievous
[SPEAKER_07]: and but that was like the 1700s in the rural areas and the people in the cities were like nothing here is mischievous everything here is dark and grimy and socks and so they moved it to the fall when things start to get dark and grimy and sucky which whatever
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, it's a here we toilet paper things, put poop on people, but then it started to get violent into Detroit in particular.
[SPEAKER_09]: And by 1986, Detroit enacted a curfew and doubles, night if you were under 18, you could not be up past 10 p.m. And it worked until the 90s, but in 2017, they ended the program.
[SPEAKER_09]: So, you know,
[SPEAKER_07]: yeah look i mean there it's things things have gotten better it is not the hell hold the Donald Trump says it is but it is kind of an interesting history for devil's night and i'm very glad that uh we got that up for you there in the drink of the day course what is in devil's own cocktail jodie cuz uh i think this one so it's
[SPEAKER_07]: pretty easy to put together.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, it is, it's not that difficult.
[SPEAKER_09]: You need a mixing glass, some ice, a bar spoon, which is one of those longer spoons.
[SPEAKER_09]: We've used them before.
[SPEAKER_09]: Pre-chilled Nick and Nora glass, one and a half ounces of gin, an ounce of driver
[SPEAKER_09]: and dash of Ganga Stura beaters, and for garnish, a lemon twist, and you add everything to the mixing glass, add ice and stir, don't shake it, just stir to chill.
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't break it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Don't break it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Strain into a pre-chilled Nick and Nora glass, and express the twist over the drinking garnish, and just enjoy.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's kind of like a martini, only a little extra.
[SPEAKER_09]: The quantro gives it some bitters, makes it different.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, makes it a little bit different.
[SPEAKER_09]: But yeah, it's a pretty drink.
[SPEAKER_09]: And then you put a clip from the crow there.
[SPEAKER_07]: What are my favorite lines from that movie?
[SPEAKER_07]: Because when people get down, and everybody does, God knows, and everybody does, especially when I do everybody does.
[SPEAKER_07]: Look, and people are like, God, it seems like it's raining all the time.
[SPEAKER_07]: I can't read all the time.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: So keep that in mind folks.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: Keep that in mind.
[SPEAKER_07]: If you missed any part of the drink of the day or any part of the show, you know what to do, go and subscribe to politicsbar.com.
[SPEAKER_07]: All right, back to the news on tap for the day.
[SPEAKER_07]: Remember yesterday when we were talking about this, and we were kind of laughing, we're like, oh, you know, maybe the Koreans, you know, knowing Korean humor a little bit, maybe they decided to, you know, have a little fun.
[SPEAKER_07]: Even Chris Hayes, Chris Hayes last night, I saw on the replay, I saw he was talking about how the Koreans gave Trump a Burger King crown and gave him his hamburger and I was laughing, I'm like, okay, I thought Chris was just having some fun, but I read this piece by Laura Bassett, who if you don't know Laura Bassett, she's a fantastic journalist, she's been a great editor,
[SPEAKER_07]: She wrote a great piece at her nightcap sub-stack and we got it linked in the news on tap Literally, there's a picture.
[SPEAKER_07]: We've got it in the graphic for today.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's no joke.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's this cheesy ass like fake crown thing that the Koreans gave him It's no joke.
[SPEAKER_07]: It looks like some expanded version of a burger king crown.
[SPEAKER_07]: It does.
[SPEAKER_09]: I saw it.
[SPEAKER_09]: It looks Do you see the menu that they gave him?
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, I didn't.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, I didn't.
[SPEAKER_07]: Effectively, they were trolling him literally with the menu.
[SPEAKER_07]: And here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_07]: Korea is known for using their state dinners to troll other nations.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: No joke about this.
[SPEAKER_07]: Laura writes this down in her piece.
[SPEAKER_07]: She goes through all the different things.
[SPEAKER_07]: How they did that to Japan.
[SPEAKER_07]: But so for example, in the menu,
[SPEAKER_07]: The first course with Donald Trump was reminiscing the success story of New York.
[SPEAKER_07]: Korean seafood meets thousand island dressing, which is Trump's favorite dressing.
[SPEAKER_07]: Basically, it was seafood drenched in thousand island dressing, which right.
[SPEAKER_07]: It gets better.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's like a filet of fish.
[SPEAKER_07]: Uh-huh.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's funny.
[SPEAKER_07]: The second course was the Korean platter of sincerity with USB.
[SPEAKER_07]: Raised short ribs featuring tender USB.
[SPEAKER_07]: Complimented by chestnuts, mushrooms, radish, and carrot.
[SPEAKER_07]: But here's the kicker.
[SPEAKER_07]: It was also served.
[SPEAKER_09]: Was it served in Argentinian plates?
[SPEAKER_07]: Here's the key.
[SPEAKER_07]: Grilled deer duck with gojo-jang ketchup plays and many beef patties with ketchup.
[SPEAKER_09]: These are adults.
[SPEAKER_07]: This is not a kids party.
[SPEAKER_07]: Burgers with right exactly.
[SPEAKER_09]: Did they have nice chocolate cake form too?
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh yeah, they had the peacemakers dessert.
[SPEAKER_07]: They had the golden citrus dessert with golden adorned brownie.
[SPEAKER_07]: They literally gave him a brownie with a little bit of gold leaf on it.
[SPEAKER_07]: And a crown like a burger king.
[SPEAKER_07]: So, so I thought, like I said, I thought Chris Hayes was joking when I saw the replay.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, no, he was he was not joking.
[SPEAKER_07]: He was a hundred percent honest.
[SPEAKER_09]: Lord, help us all.
[SPEAKER_07]: They treated him like child and Donald left and was like, the crayons are great, man.
[SPEAKER_07]: They just they love me.
[SPEAKER_09]: He knows nothing.
[SPEAKER_07]: You aren't correct, show me.
[SPEAKER_07]: He's an idiot and the fact that he got played and everybody else Everybody in the world knows that he got played except him Except him That's just where he sit there and you're like dude you got pants and you're the only one that doesn't know Yeah
[SPEAKER_07]: It's one of the reasons why I continue to make fun of him and look, for all those people who were like, oh, he would improve and he hasn't improved.
[SPEAKER_07]: He hasn't proved in decade.
[SPEAKER_07]: He will never improve.
[SPEAKER_07]: Barack Obama said, the office does not change you, it only amplifies you.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's like when you're drunk, yeah, yeah, or some other drugs, yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: But yeah, I mean, you know, when somebody is hammered, amplifies the good and amplifies the bad.
[SPEAKER_07]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_07]: Same time.
[SPEAKER_07]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: So I...
[SPEAKER_09]: If you're a mean drunk, it just means you're mean, but when you're sober, you don't let it show.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right, exactly.
[SPEAKER_07]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_07]: Donald is mean and cool, and he enjoys it.
[SPEAKER_07]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_07]: And so do the people around him.
[SPEAKER_07]: So that's, we have said this before, that they think the cruelty is the point,
[SPEAKER_07]: it is.
[SPEAKER_07]: Thankfully, though, there are other voters in other countries down to the fortifier section in the more news to drink about area of the news on tap today.
[SPEAKER_07]: Dutch voters have delivered a major set back to the far right party there, putting the center left quote unquote liberal parties name of the parties, the liberal party back on track looks like they're going to win the elections in the Netherlands.
[SPEAKER_07]: So, which is pretty good.
[SPEAKER_09]: I thought they were tied this morning, so they're ahead now.
[SPEAKER_07]: Last check they were head class check their head, so which is I mean, that's good.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, it is good.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's that's helpful.
[SPEAKER_07]: And considering that the the right wing party was like, you know, they were doing their impression of Trump.
[SPEAKER_06]: We're going to win.
[SPEAKER_06]: We're going to win everything and we're going to do.
[SPEAKER_07]: And their anti immigration stance is just got off to their their right wing extremists.
[SPEAKER_07]: They could be maggots just simply they bring them over here.
[SPEAKER_07]: Haven't speaking English.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, they're from the Netherlands.
[SPEAKER_07]: They speak like four languages anyway.
[SPEAKER_07]: but I mean yeah they no problem and they would they would fit right in to make it culture that way.
[SPEAKER_07]: Other than the fact that they probably actually would want to feed the you know poor kids.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah they're better at that we are.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's for sure.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah there's that anyway.
[SPEAKER_07]: So look you know yes the monsters are everywhere it is after all doubles night it is Halloween coming up but you can stand against the monsters wherever you happen to be and you can get some
[SPEAKER_07]: that is all we're asking you guys to do.
[SPEAKER_07]: So we will talk a little bit about more about those people who are standing against the monsters like our friend Catabacasela who we love that.
[SPEAKER_07]: We're going to see if we can get her back in the bar.
[SPEAKER_07]: Of course, John Fuevel saying is coming into the bar in a little bit here and we do have more news on tap.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm sorry about the world series last night.
[SPEAKER_07]: Not my fault, not my fault, just saying.

[SPEAKER_09]: Unless you live in Russia and it doesn't really matter.
[SPEAKER_09]: Everybody's on the same time.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's all put in time there, which that's bad.
[SPEAKER_07]: But there is some good news on tap.
[SPEAKER_07]: We do have John Fuckel saying coming in in a little bit.
[SPEAKER_07]: Here, if you missed the drink of the day, we did that a little bit earlier.
[SPEAKER_07]: You should subscribe that way you don't miss it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Check it out on the podcast.
[SPEAKER_07]: All right, so back to the news on tap for the day.
[SPEAKER_07]: Trump's violent war in America is continuing.
[SPEAKER_07]: So there's a new Pentagon memo.
[SPEAKER_07]: That stating the National Guard is to form quick reaction forces for crowd control.
[SPEAKER_09]: Controls police action it is this is just Kent State is in my head right now It's unconstitutional I read a paper on Kent State in high school and it just it's still just I wrote two I wrote one for my history class and one for my English class Same one just the English class one was better because I it was just better My my final for the history teacher was my rough draft for my English teacher
[SPEAKER_07]: Both got aes, but you were using the tools you had wisely.
[SPEAKER_07]: using your resources wisely.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, and I mean, the history one was about the history of it, not how well it was written, whereas an English teacher wants it to be better written.
[SPEAKER_07]: I can see how that works, yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: OK. And so he's like, no, this isn't really good rough draft.
[SPEAKER_09]: Red line everywhere, you know, but Cindy gave me an A.
[SPEAKER_09]: He goes, that's Cindy's class.
[SPEAKER_09]: That A.
[SPEAKER_09]: My class, I'm like, thank you, Bill.
[SPEAKER_09]: You know, we could call our teachers by their first name at that school.
[SPEAKER_07]: I had a teacher who, back in the day, I think he's retired from teaching his name was Jeff Holham.
[SPEAKER_07]: He was the tennis.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm a Holham.
[SPEAKER_07]: So, you say what?
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm a Holham.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's definitely Joe D. I don't know, he literally, he's named, so this is, you know, this is the 8th and 9th and 10th and 11th grade me when we're going in.
[SPEAKER_07]: He's going to class.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, obviously he says, you know, everybody should call me Mr. Oh, I'm he's a young guy at this point.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, literally, he must have been in his 20s, right?
[SPEAKER_07]: And I come in and go, yeah, oh, what up?
[SPEAKER_08]: And how did he take that?
[SPEAKER_07]: He's just like Sean, Sean, Sean.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I'm like, yes, yes, yes, I'm here.
[SPEAKER_07]: What did you want?
[SPEAKER_07]: if you're wondering if I've always been this way.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_09]: I remember meeting my chemistry teacher at the same school where we could call everybody by their first names.
[SPEAKER_09]: There's only a couple of people where we didn't.
[SPEAKER_09]: And
[SPEAKER_09]: But at lunch, we had the students all had to either work in the kitchen, weight tables to clear them.
[SPEAKER_09]: You know, it was cafeteria style, but like once the dishes were done, you didn't have to take your dishes.
[SPEAKER_09]: Somebody bused the table and everybody had it was rotating.
[SPEAKER_09]: And so I sat down, it was the first day of school, basically.
[SPEAKER_09]: And there was always a teacher at the head of the tables, right?
[SPEAKER_09]: And so I sat down in this person sits next to me who looks like he's my age.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I said, hi, I'm Jodie, he goes, hi, I'm Brian, a very deep voice, I said, hi, what, what, what great of you, and he goes, I'm the chemistry teacher, I'm like, oh, you're in, I'll be in my teacher, because he was maybe 25 years old, that's funny.
[SPEAKER_07]: For me, for most of my early school experience, you know, it was Mr. Ms. Ms. is whatever.
[SPEAKER_07]: But once I got to know them, if I got to know them, and I did, I usually got to know my teacher's pretty well.
[SPEAKER_07]: Same.
[SPEAKER_07]: There's a certain line at which the kids would know the people who actually knew the teacher's pretty well, because those are the ones that they allowed to call them by their first name.
[SPEAKER_09]: I see.
[SPEAKER_07]: And most of the teachers that I had, by their first name, or by their nickname.
[SPEAKER_07]: And people are like, fine, it's because I just talk and then I listen.
[SPEAKER_07]: I listen to how people talk and you get to know people.
[SPEAKER_07]: that that is how it works that that's how by the way campaigning works in today's news on tab by the way in the election land section uh... new emerson picks eleven pole of the new york city mayors race came out today mem dandy holds a twenty five point and that's with all the racist adds they're putting up and and he made more racist comments today i will will last john about it because i know that he
[SPEAKER_07]: he knew Andrew back in the day and I just didn't know he's a different man.
[SPEAKER_07]: Mr. Cuomo, that is inappropriate.
[SPEAKER_07]: You're right, Joe, he's right.
[SPEAKER_07]: He's, whatever he was before, he's not now.
[SPEAKER_09]: And he's not his dad and his dad was imperfect either, but he's not his father.
[SPEAKER_09]: Definitely not.
[SPEAKER_07]: In Virginia, the Virginia House advanced the Democratic plan to counter Republicans in the National Redistricting War.
[SPEAKER_07]: So, hey.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, we got it in the commonwealth here.
[SPEAKER_07]: We're doing pretty good on that.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm pretty glad for that.
[SPEAKER_07]: Also looks like some pretty good things though, although we will remind you look next Tuesday is voting day.
[SPEAKER_07]: Especially if you are in places like California Virginia New Jersey Maine Pennsylvania, look pretty much anywhere you've got to listen.
[SPEAKER_07]: You guys got one on twin cities here.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_07]: Make sure you get yourself out and vote if you are not able to get out early.
[SPEAKER_07]: Make sure you are there on the day for God's sake.
[SPEAKER_07]: Vote and vote sensibly.
[SPEAKER_07]: Make sure that you are informed.
[SPEAKER_09]: Bring your proper IDs with you just in case.
[SPEAKER_09]: And again, if anybody there is trying to intimidate you do not let them do that.
[SPEAKER_09]: Stay in line if you're in line.
[SPEAKER_09]: Vote.
[SPEAKER_09]: Get your vote in and counted.
[SPEAKER_07]: Listen to Jody.
[SPEAKER_07]: She's smart.
[SPEAKER_07]: She knows things.
[SPEAKER_07]: Pay attention to what she says.
[SPEAKER_09]: Call the cops if somebody's intimidating.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, right.
[SPEAKER_07]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_07]: You have the right.
[SPEAKER_07]: You have your stuff.
[SPEAKER_07]: You stand in line.
[SPEAKER_07]: You can vote.
[SPEAKER_07]: You have the right.
[SPEAKER_07]: Stay there.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's what you should do.
[SPEAKER_07]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_07]: Good luck to everybody.
[SPEAKER_07]: By the way, a Joan Walsh who we've had in the bar here.
[SPEAKER_07]: We should see if we get Joan back.
[SPEAKER_07]: She has a really good piece on how Virginia Democrats are clearly working to make sure that the state's
[SPEAKER_07]: kind of gets back to its all ways of punching Trump in the face, which I'm like, hey, I'm good with that, and I have I can verify I've seen a lot of what she has seen.
[SPEAKER_07]: You should read the piece it's in there that news on tap today.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's some good news, it's some fun news.
[SPEAKER_07]: Other entertainment news, knew this kind of thing was coming, just pissed off about this.
[SPEAKER_07]: CBS Saturday morning, they're redoing the whole thing, they're getting rid of Michelle, Miller, and David Jacobson, which
[SPEAKER_07]: I like Dana Jacobson, I like Michelle Miller, I liked Jeff Glor when he was there.
[SPEAKER_07]: It was a nice way of getting the news, but not really paying attention all that much to it.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, having fun with the news.
[SPEAKER_07]: Kind of like we do here at the Paul Bay.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: But it was a nice way to kind of wake up Saturday morning and not have this is the latest thing that Trump and Republicans have done.
[SPEAKER_07]: So it's kind of cool.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, not anymore.
[SPEAKER_07]: They're getting rid of them because they, you know, they aren't right wing enough.
[SPEAKER_09]: just I just.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I may CBS's ratings find the lowest level of hell and keep going.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, a friend of Stephanie's just got fired.
[SPEAKER_07]: I heard that this morning too.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: I know who is, and she worked her ass off there.
[SPEAKER_07]: And there are a couple people who have made postings to the effect that conveniently most of the people of color are being fired from CBS paramount, but
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, she's white, so, but, uh, well still, I'm, yeah, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not discounting, and I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm certain that there are white people getting fired.
[SPEAKER_07]: Dana Jacobs, for example, but the fact of the matter is that they are, they are going to try to make this a Fox clone and, you know, fine, they wanted to be a Fox clone, fine, ban them, ban them from your life, block them out.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, yes, do I watch Fox to watch the baseball games?
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, other than that, do I watch Fox?
[SPEAKER_07]: No, people go, yeah, but that's Fox entertainment versus the Fox propaganda network.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I go, yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: And in general, if I don't have to do to deal with Fox products, I don't.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, Fox has entertainment, so I'm by Disney now.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, that's true, too.
[SPEAKER_07]: But still.
[SPEAKER_09]: I know, because the friend of mine was laid off.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, there's this.
[SPEAKER_07]: Because if they're there, and there have been a lot of layoffs, we haven't talked a lot about obviously the job numbers and things, because we're not getting them because of the shutdown.
[SPEAKER_09]: which is why the fed even though they lowered interest rates ever so slightly they're like we don't have the information to do that again in December.
[SPEAKER_07]: Thank you very well and they don't want things to get too out of hand on that.
[SPEAKER_07]: The fed did cut the reserve very one quarter of point as we have under the Trumponomics and trade war section of the news on tap.
[SPEAKER_07]: Chairman Powell made it clear that the future cuts are not lost in.
[SPEAKER_07]: Basically, he used an analogy that he said, it's like driving in fog and we are in fog right now.
[SPEAKER_07]: We cannot see what's ahead because we don't have the data because the government is shut down.
[SPEAKER_07]: And so since the Fed doesn't have the data, they're saying, OK, we know that we could do two quarter points.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right.
[SPEAKER_07]: Which is what they've done now, two months and a row.
[SPEAKER_07]: He says, not again.
[SPEAKER_07]: And he made it very clear that basically the reason why the economy is so shaky you can rock you right now is because Trump jacking all things around this trade stuff with the U.D.
[SPEAKER_07]: tariffs and the fact that through Republicans have everything shut down.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: As much as they're trying to blame it on.
[SPEAKER_09]: on the Dems.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's.
[SPEAKER_09]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_07]: But we don't see Tony Johnson.
[SPEAKER_07]: He's the speaker of the house.
[SPEAKER_07]: He is not.
[SPEAKER_07]: He's not the minority leader.
[SPEAKER_09]: And John Thun could have brought that one bill to the floor to take Harrison at benefits if they really don't want people to starve.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean, they have control over this.
[SPEAKER_07]: they could do this, they just don't want to, which shows you exactly who they are.
[SPEAKER_07]: There is another good note there in the Trumponomics and Trade War section, as Zach McChamp over at Vox has this great piece about how the pro-democracy opposition is actually punching back economically.
[SPEAKER_07]: And he goes through the whole piece, it's actually really cool talking about, for example, when, you know, all of us dropped a Disney because of what they were doing with Kimmel.
[SPEAKER_07]: But there's some other things too, showing that if you feel like you're powerless, you're not.
[SPEAKER_07]: And if you think that we're losing, we're not.
[SPEAKER_07]: So you guys should read that.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's a nice piece.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, it's a little bit dry, but it's also helpful.
[SPEAKER_07]: And it'll, you'll be like, okay, wow, we are actually doing things.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yes, yes, we are.
[SPEAKER_07]: I realize the mainstream media is not very good at celebrating Democrats' successes, independent successes of anybody except Trump.
[SPEAKER_07]: But yes, there are lots of successes that they are really kind of losing on their site basically there are a bunch of losers on the Mogus side Which we all kind of knew, but it's nice to see the statistics bear that out.
[SPEAKER_07]: Absolutely Look John Fuckel saying is coming in He is getting here.
[SPEAKER_07]: I think he's coming in on the train day and that we will talk about his new tour Which is starting here in the DC end of the bar.
[SPEAKER_07]: We've got a link to that in the guest section of the news on tap today John Fuckel saying coming back on a Thursday night, so do

[SPEAKER_05]: So much.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, no, it's nice.
[SPEAKER_07]: Look, I, you know, seeing you live, doing comedy, doing anything is fun.
[SPEAKER_07]: It is.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's always a great experience because you do see me live, doing anything.
[SPEAKER_05]: I was just trying to get money to come home, sir.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's that.
[SPEAKER_05]: Let's go home.
[SPEAKER_07]: I was going to say, if it took that, believe me, I wish that Donnie didn't have the money to come home.
[SPEAKER_07]: But I don't wish that on the Chinese and the Koreans and, you know, God, oh my God, he just made such an ass of himself over there.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't know if you saw that.
[SPEAKER_07]: We were talking about it earlier, John, that so he thinks he did all this stuff.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, I got over on Xi.
[SPEAKER_07]: I got over on the Koreans.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, not not even close to that, not even close.
[SPEAKER_07]: Basically she walked her way with with with everything and we got when when the year started when Joe Biden and Kamal Harris were still in the White House and you know, we still had democracy.
[SPEAKER_07]: the tariff rate was I believe somewhere around like 2% and now the tariff rate is 47% Trump says I lowered it 10% but basically everything else is about the same now China says we may think about starting to buy some soybeans again and they don't have anything on paper mind you you know they didn't actually commit to it to Trump says I did it you can't prove that damn fool thing on that
[SPEAKER_05]: just watch she's body language like she she is like um she is trying to get away the way any woman called as she would be trying to get away exactly you've seen a lot of she's trying to pull themselves away from this guy and not be too close to his proximity and she is no exception to the she's you're right 100% right just watch the body language it's all you've got to see and again
[SPEAKER_05]: Trump is like this, it's just so, so thirsty.
[SPEAKER_05]: And she just ignores him and Trump is trying to, you know, say, hey, please start buying soybeans again, please, please.
[SPEAKER_05]: So I don't want to get more socialism to the farmers like I did last time.
[SPEAKER_05]: And she just has like dropped all your tariffs bitch and Trump says, yes, sir, and then it's the end of it like that.
[SPEAKER_07]: Right, just a 10% and he says, well, well, we'll, we'll do this thing for a year.
[SPEAKER_07]: Now they're going to one year deal and I'm just like, oh my God, it's,
[SPEAKER_05]: and trying to get to the all trying to get it's all the advanced thing I chips of the steel, but they're going to buy fewer soy beans from us than they did last year.
[SPEAKER_05]: And that's the deal that drunk is.
[SPEAKER_07]: But by some though, because right now they're buying none.
[SPEAKER_07]: So when she says, okay, fine, we'll buy some.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, and Trump's love.
[SPEAKER_07]: But again, yes, great.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, he's better than zero, but less than what they did last, but you have to understand like it doesn't matter because Donald Trump's not here to make things better for America Donald Trump is here to make things better for Donald Trump and he's already sold it as I won.
[SPEAKER_05]: and his uncritical base, which grovels in the most unmanly of ways, will never fact check this, they will never know.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's going to take the next generation and a 75-hour Ken Burns documentary for people to understand all this going on.
[SPEAKER_05]: Very true.
[SPEAKER_08]: Very true.
[SPEAKER_07]: But here, the funnier thing was, his dealing with Korea.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't know if you caught on to what was going on in Korea.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: So because I know you've been busy with your show and obviously you know get ready for the tour and all of this.
[SPEAKER_07]: But so Jodi and I last night here at the bar we were joking.
[SPEAKER_07]: We were like Korea got over them and we thought it was you know maybe they were we're clowning in a little bit.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, no, no, no, no.
[SPEAKER_07]: Last night, while we were doing our show, Chris Hayes was doing his show.
[SPEAKER_07]: I got the replay, and he was like, oh, my God, they gave him a Burger King crown, and they gave it a little furthers and catch up, but Burger King crown, and I was like, okay, maybe he's exaggerating.
[SPEAKER_07]: And then I saw this piece.
[SPEAKER_07]: We haven't had this on tap today from Laura Bassett, who I think you may have had her over the years on your show once your twice.
[SPEAKER_05]: I rate love Laura Bassett.
[SPEAKER_07]: I do too, she is freaking brilliant.
[SPEAKER_07]: Everybody should have a Laura Bassett in their life.
[SPEAKER_07]: And a Jardie Hamilton, because, you know, that's just how it is.
[SPEAKER_07]: But, so Laura has this great piece and she talks about literally.
[SPEAKER_07]: She goes point by point about how South Korea basically literally, even with the menu, they trolled him.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, they did with the catch-up, yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I was like, it's like, it's like an, and he can't go up with a go-shine catch-up glaze and mini beef patties with catch-up.
[SPEAKER_05]: They had it all over it, yeah?
[SPEAKER_05]: It's almost like they threw catch-up at the wall and that much landed on the menu.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: And obviously they're going to, he came away going, they love me in Korea and you're like, sure, Donnie.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, they gave him hamburgers in a Burger King crown.
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, like, again.
[SPEAKER_05]: There's three things Donald Trump cares about, money, sex, and flattery.
[SPEAKER_05]: Pray, he doesn't know how to love his parents didn't love him.
[SPEAKER_05]: His mother was sick.
[SPEAKER_05]: He was a horrible kid, right?
[SPEAKER_05]: They had to set up the military school.
[SPEAKER_05]: He was so evil.
[SPEAKER_05]: And in military school, he learned how to be more evil at a haze children.
[SPEAKER_05]: So, like, you know, this is just how it is.
[SPEAKER_05]: He has to be people around him constantly.
[SPEAKER_05]: telling him he's wonderful, but because he has the memory of a goldfish going around the plastic castle, he needs it constantly like an IV drip, and this is why he is the most pathetic man to be famous in America right now.
[SPEAKER_06]: He is.
[SPEAKER_05]: He's absolutely not going to end well.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's not going to end well.
[SPEAKER_05]: My god.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, no.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't think I don't think any of this stuff.
[SPEAKER_07]: The the whole thing the Pentagon memo his his whole violent war on on America.
[SPEAKER_07]: I reached out to a couple different people and and I got some confirmation back.
[SPEAKER_07]: So this idea that he's he's setting up National Guard quick response forces for quote unquote crowd control crowd controls police action.
[SPEAKER_07]: doing that is against possibly coming to notice it looks quite frankly like this framework might but we care because it matters and among other things every member of the national guard should care because
[SPEAKER_07]: the limit on being able to be charged.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm blanking on that right now it's late in the evening.
[SPEAKER_07]: They can charge these people for the rest of their lives.
[SPEAKER_07]: So if you actually follow through with Donald Trump's illegal order as a member of the military to take police action against somebody,
[SPEAKER_07]: for the rest of your life, you need to be worried that the U.S. federal government don't drag you up and charge your ass.
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't think a democratic administration will ever go after law enforcement that was following orders under Trump.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'd like to think of orders.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'd like to think they go for bigger fish than just the cops, all the way up to January 6th.
[SPEAKER_07]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm well, but that's what I'm saying.
[SPEAKER_07]: Those national guard members, if I were in the national guard and I knew that fact,
[SPEAKER_07]: I would think really, really carefully.
[SPEAKER_07]: I would think two, three, four, and five times about following orders that I knew were illegal.
[SPEAKER_09]: There's a woman that's running for, I want to say the house outside of Chicago right now.
[SPEAKER_09]: She's 34 years old.
[SPEAKER_09]: She's in the guard and she has stated publicly if they tell me to do something that I know as illegal, I will not do it.
[SPEAKER_07]: So you gave us that story we had that in the in the news on tap yesterday, believe you.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: And there there are more more national guards members who are simply saying, I'll do my job if you want to send me to send me to down to the islands to help out with the hurricane cleanup.
[SPEAKER_07]: If you want to send me to wherever, I'll go to those places.
[SPEAKER_07]: But if you send me especially in my own backyard, if I'm in an Illinois National
[SPEAKER_07]: I'm not going.
[SPEAKER_07]: You can suck it because that's an illegal order and I'm not going to take police action.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I think the fact that there are more of this people coming out, I think is a very good thing.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I think it should make, you know, the people who surround Donald Trump like Steven Miller kind of afraid, because more people are feeling strong enough.
[SPEAKER_07]: courageous enough to stand up and say, ah, not here, not here.
[SPEAKER_07]: So yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: Now, we'll see our friend Kat Abogazala, unfortunately, Trump's intimate DOJ isn't added her in five others for protesting, which I really hope she kicks their ass and wins, and I hope she gets into the house.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's just my personal, that's, that's, it's friend of mine, you know, I like that, but I'm glad that people are standing up more.
[SPEAKER_07]: Even though the monsters are still attacking, it's just... Trump's approval is hitting you, Lowe's people.
[SPEAKER_07]: Mike, what he's doing.
[SPEAKER_07]: People don't like what he did to the White House.
[SPEAKER_07]: People don't like what this regime is doing, and people are standing up, and they should.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: Sorry, I've had so, so much of a needle drop on that kind of thing by hammer drop.
[SPEAKER_07]: I just, you know, I think people get down, especially as we get towards the time change, as we get towards gets darker and everything, it's easier for people to be depressed.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I'm like, don't be depressed.
[SPEAKER_07]: There's a lot to look at and be positive about it.
[SPEAKER_07]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I agree.
[SPEAKER_05]: Rand's Hall is telling the truth about America murdering people in boats or in waters.
[SPEAKER_05]: And Thomas Massey is telling the truth about how Donald Trump is covering for powerful child rapists.
[SPEAKER_05]: And Mark Wayne Mullin is telling the truth about how these tariffs are hurting Americans.
[SPEAKER_05]: And Marjorie Taylor Greene is telling the truth about how Obamacare cuts are hurting Republican voters.
[SPEAKER_05]: horseman party of four.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm looking for this frogs falling from the sky.
[SPEAKER_05]: I know.
[SPEAKER_09]: I live in the valley.
[SPEAKER_09]: I saw Magnolia.
[SPEAKER_09]: I know frogs can fly out of the sky.
[SPEAKER_09]: I know.
[SPEAKER_07]: We are we are looking but it in some ways it is ice to see some of these Republicans stepping out.
[SPEAKER_07]: There are reports now that there are more Republicans on Capitol Hill who are openly talking to the Democratic colleagues saying how can you get out of it.
[SPEAKER_07]: We've said the simple thing all you got to do is follow the Democrats three demands very simple thing number one no back seats no decisions make a deal stick with it.
[SPEAKER_07]: thing number two ACA subsidies thing number three give back the money for the ace from the Medicare and Medicaid cuts that you stole in the big ugly bill.
[SPEAKER_07]: This is not complicated.
[SPEAKER_09]: No, it's not.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's not.
[SPEAKER_07]: Too tough for the mainstream media, but.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, they're just refusing.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, I mean, like we've been saying for four weeks now, if the Republicans really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really wanted that bill to pass.
[SPEAKER_09]: the Senate could just blow up the filibuster for the bill.
[SPEAKER_05]: Use reconciliation.
[SPEAKER_05]: They could do it.
[SPEAKER_05]: Just blow it up.
[SPEAKER_09]: They don't want to.
[SPEAKER_09]: They don't like what's in it either because they know it's bad for them.
[SPEAKER_09]: And they're using the filibuster as a crutch to say, hey, it's not our fault.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's their fault.
[SPEAKER_09]: We can't get it passed.
[SPEAKER_05]: But again, we're spending too much time focusing on how Mike Johnson is Trump's amoral lackey and not enough about how Mike Johnson is essentially shutting down the House of Representatives.
[SPEAKER_05]: They've only been in 12 work days and the last I believe it's 98 days.
[SPEAKER_06]: I think you're right.
[SPEAKER_05]: And now they're not going to come back to the rest of the year and they are not in their home districts having town halls.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, they're on vacations.
[SPEAKER_05]: No.
[SPEAKER_05]: And we are paying for them to not work for month after month after month.
[SPEAKER_05]: And we're paying to bail out $40 billion to this Argentinian cook, and we're paying to murder people in boats, and we're paying to put troops and national guardsmen from one state into other cities of brown people, and we're doing all of this during a government shutdown because one party wants to throw 40 million Americans low-income and disabled humans off of health care and Medicaid because one party hates
[SPEAKER_05]: Jesus.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_05]: This is all happening because the Republican Party despises Jesus.
[SPEAKER_05]: They have another Messiah.
[SPEAKER_05]: They like a lot more.
[SPEAKER_05]: And because the Democrats can't call them out for what this really is and the evil that this really is, the mainstream media is going along with the both sizing narrative.
[SPEAKER_05]: And we're staying dumber and poor people are going to start to get hurt.
[SPEAKER_05]: And they're not going to blame the Democrats.
[SPEAKER_05]: They will blame the Republicans.
[SPEAKER_05]: Trump won't care because Trump's not on the ballot next year.
[SPEAKER_05]: And Trump probably won't be alive in five years.
[SPEAKER_07]: I agree.
[SPEAKER_07]: That is something I think that a lot of people keep.
[SPEAKER_07]: We've noted that here quite a bit, especially the Steve Bannon.
[SPEAKER_07]: Boga, Boga, Boga, Trump's going back in 2020 to 28.
[SPEAKER_07]: Dude, he's not going to be alive.
[SPEAKER_07]: He's not going to make it.
[SPEAKER_07]: His health is not
[SPEAKER_05]: That's how steep bad and gets people to talk about steep bad into some better.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: Even Roger Stone is like, no, you can't do that.
[SPEAKER_09]: Roger Stone!
[SPEAKER_05]: But in the midst of all of this, like the media is not, I don't think the media is covering a lot of the stories about how this stuff is collapsing.
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, I mean, the deportation industrial complex this week is eating itself a lot, I mean, yes.
[SPEAKER_05]: Ice and border patrol have officially entered their real housewives of DHS era this week.
[SPEAKER_05]: Like, Kristi Nome on this side with Cory Lee Wendowski, lurking behind her, you got Tom.
[SPEAKER_05]: home and taking his bribes and pounding his chest on Fox News and Todd Lyons leaking everything of the Daily Mail and Greg Tiergast Bovino is throwing canisters into suburban Chicago and it's like holy fascist feud bad man because Trump just fired half the ice leadership.
[SPEAKER_05]: OK, like it's it's a brandy place in the B.P.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, but we just spent all this money to funnel billions into ice, right?
[SPEAKER_05]: In its film, funneling billions into ice, but it turns out ice isn't racist enough.
[SPEAKER_05]: So now they're going to replace ice with border patrol guys who are more evil and that's correct.
[SPEAKER_05]: But Vino who's like border patrol's George Patton with the moral compass of a room buff.
[SPEAKER_05]: We're so not seeing he actually just got the Zota Ventress haircut.
[SPEAKER_07]: He did.
[SPEAKER_07]: Look, they're not only that, there's the whole issue of the DOJ, too.
[SPEAKER_05]: I want to talk about that.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, exactly.
[SPEAKER_07]: I want to get to that next.
[SPEAKER_07]: Look.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's the story of the week.
[SPEAKER_07]: We're going to keep John here, and you guys are going to hear about that next.
[SPEAKER_07]: Look, here's what you can do.
[SPEAKER_07]: It starts tonight.

[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, and remember, if you just want to help us out a little bit more, you can do that, too.

[SPEAKER_07]: It's all there at the politicsbar.com.
[SPEAKER_07]: John Feekelsack is here with us as he often is on Thursday nights look he's got a tour going on we've got the link where you can get tickets in the guess section of the news on tap today uh... and of course john always you know about all of the the big stories of the day but i think uh... you know we mentioned regularly around here had the mainstream media
[SPEAKER_07]: is like Swiss cheese.
[SPEAKER_07]: There's a lot that they miss.
[SPEAKER_07]: And you point out this story about the DOJ that I think I've seen a couple of different things.
[SPEAKER_07]: We have one story I believe it's in the news on tap today about it.
[SPEAKER_07]: But most of them are not talking about it on the big cable talking heads or on the other talk radio it's out there.
[SPEAKER_07]: Most people aren't talking about it.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well this I mean I was I think really the the most fascinating story of the entire week which is saying quite a bit um you know these two federal prosecutors Carlos Valdevia and Samuel White who got fired this week are like they placed on leave which is how they say we're taking out behind the barn um now it's got a bit of coverage because these guys wrote a sentencing memo for a violent criminal who who whose name Taylor Toronto
[SPEAKER_05]: And he had been in January 6th, didn't get in, it locked up for January 6th, but he was part of the mob later went on to get in trouble for something else I'll get to, but in their statement in the sentencing memo they described January 6th as a mob of rioters.
[SPEAKER_07]: What you was.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's a good description.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: We're locked out of their laptops.
[SPEAKER_05]: They were escorted out of the building, like they just leaked the new code stuff to Hamas.
[SPEAKER_05]: Now, this guy Taylor Taranto, right?
[SPEAKER_05]: He stormed January 6, the Capitol, because it trumps lies.
[SPEAKER_05]: Right.
[SPEAKER_05]: But then in 2023,
[SPEAKER_05]: there's a story a lot of folks have forgotten and this is the real part of the story that the headline didn't touch on of twenty twenty three was that time I know it seems long ago but Donald Trump publicly posted Barack Obama's home address member on his website filth social member that let's go to ranto is the douchebag who reposted it and drove there and then live street himself because he is stupid for
[SPEAKER_05]: outside the obama house with his fans full of all the guns and ammo they like we got these losers surrounded see you in hell that's what he actually said no remember that this is what they call stochastic terrorists right mask communication to insight random actors to commit violence that you can later deny responsibility for I didn't say killed him I'm just saying the randomies are the people week week week week it's like terrorism with plausible denial
[SPEAKER_05]: You know right you point the mob at the target and then when somebody show those to put a gun you say Yeah, I barely know the guy like imagine if Charles Manson or both some have been laden never actually killed anyone themselves If you can imagine that right so these guys had the gall to include those details in this memo as well First they called it a writing mob
[SPEAKER_05]: but then they said the quiet part out loud, okay?
[SPEAKER_05]: They said that Toronto's attack on Obama's home came directly from Donald Trump's post.
[SPEAKER_08]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_05]: They laid it out.
[SPEAKER_05]: He docks him, and here's where the evil gets weird.
[SPEAKER_05]: Because the U.S. attorney for DC, anybody remember?
[SPEAKER_05]: Anyone remember who the U.S. attorney for DC is?
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, Jeanine, box of wine.
[SPEAKER_05]: Block, block, block, block, block.
[SPEAKER_05]: So to the hero, apparently signed off on this without reading it.
[SPEAKER_05]: Shocker.
[SPEAKER_05]: So then the White House realized what it said.
[SPEAKER_05]: They sent Judge Janine back with the Shardinate to rewrite it to airbrush Donald Trump out of his own crime scene.
[SPEAKER_05]: So with an hours, a whole new memo gets filed, right?
[SPEAKER_05]: No mention of January 6th.
[SPEAKER_05]: No mention of the Bob.
[SPEAKER_05]: No mention of the true social doxing.
[SPEAKER_05]: The truth was scrubbed out like it never happened.
[SPEAKER_05]: And the two guys who told the truth were fired.
[SPEAKER_05]: And this is the Catholic Terrorism Main Street.
[SPEAKER_05]: You don't just incite the violence, you institutionalize the cover-up.
[SPEAKER_05]: You teach the system to protect the bad guys, not the victims, and you punish the people who name the threat, not the ones who cause it.
[SPEAKER_05]: This is not law enforcement, this is regime enforcement, and these are the people who were warning us about the deep state.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_05]: And now, they are the ones they claim to be fighting.
[SPEAKER_05]: Truth is having about violence is a fireable offense in Pam Bondi's DOJ.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, the whole thing was about the firing and they called it a mob.
[SPEAKER_05]: They called it a mob a violent mob writing mob No, the whole thing is that Donald Trump committed stochastic terrorism and Docs Barack Obama and no one talks about it because guys That trump owns on the media now.
[SPEAKER_05]: Right.
[SPEAKER_05]: However, I think we know something Donald Trump
[SPEAKER_05]: as mistaken loyalty for obedience for a long time, right?
[SPEAKER_05]: These loyal media outlets, they're not obedient.
[SPEAKER_05]: And as soon as it's better for their ratings to turn on this guy, oh, they will.
[SPEAKER_09]: You're right.
[SPEAKER_05]: You will not find any of these mega guys in 20 years defending Trump.
[SPEAKER_05]: Stay healthy folks, it's going to be true.
[SPEAKER_05]: Stay healthy for it.
[SPEAKER_07]: No, exactly, exactly.
[SPEAKER_07]: And some of these outlets like the destruction of CBS, I mean, they are, they're getting, they're getting rid of the weekend folk CBS Saturday.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, you know, look, Michelle Miller and Dana Jacobson are about the most harmless kittens they are in the news world.
[SPEAKER_07]: And they're like, nope, you're too liberal for us.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, also Michelle Miller's black,
[SPEAKER_07]: But right now at CBS Paramount they seem to be getting rid of a lot of black people and some white people who support them.
[SPEAKER_07]: But you know, look, if they want to drag the CBS name into the absolute mud, that's fine.
[SPEAKER_07]: I will get my information a little bit late.
[SPEAKER_05]: Other places.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, that doesn't even cool bear about that.
[SPEAKER_05]: Exactly, but that's 16 million was a bribe like they added it in like like when Donald Trump sued them and we all made fun of it Because they just add a comma to Harris interview.
[SPEAKER_05]: You can't there's nothing wrong with me.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, I see showing them He sued them to give a permission structure for them to give him a bribe Yeah, then approved the Sky Dance merger and they did it all out in public now in normal times he'd be in peach for this
[SPEAKER_05]: We don't have good men and women in the Republican Party.
[SPEAKER_05]: No.
[SPEAKER_05]: We don't even have bad ones like Bob Dole who care about fairness.
[SPEAKER_05]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's just obedient lackeys, and they get to spend the rest of their lives justifying what they did.
[SPEAKER_07]: And that's nice.
[SPEAKER_05]: These are Christians.
[SPEAKER_05]: These are Christians who are fighting to do the top three things.
[SPEAKER_05]: Jesus tells you not to do all of it once.
[SPEAKER_05]: To nigh care to the poor.
[SPEAKER_05]: To nigh care to the sick.
[SPEAKER_05]: Right.
[SPEAKER_05]: And reject the stranger.
[SPEAKER_02]: The top.
[SPEAKER_05]: Three, Jesus' things in Matthew 25 that individuals and nations will be judged on.
[SPEAKER_05]: Individuals and nations.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, that's Matthew the judgment of nations, Matthew 25.
[SPEAKER_05]: Jesus gives his marching orders, and that's why Republicans never quote it, and never try to put it on in a classroom or a courthouse wall.
[SPEAKER_05]: I was a stranger and you wealth of me.
[SPEAKER_05]: I was hungry and you fed me, and Jesus gives his, Jesus says the ones who are going to hell are the individuals and nations who talk a good game,
[SPEAKER_05]: about him, but don't care for this poor care for the sick.
[SPEAKER_05]: Welcome to Stranger and care for those in prison.
[SPEAKER_07]: And those said you said well, it's almost, you should write a book.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, wait, he did.
[SPEAKER_09]: And it's a best summer.
[SPEAKER_07]: It's a best summer.
[SPEAKER_07]: Six weeks going, six weeks going, which it is a good book.
[SPEAKER_07]: It is a good night here.
[SPEAKER_07]: I, I, I,
[SPEAKER_07]: I am definitely on the train of staying healthy so that we can watch karma on you guys got to be alive for Trump's funeral folks.
[SPEAKER_05]: You got to stay alive.
[SPEAKER_05]: Please take good care of yourself.
[SPEAKER_05]: You don't want to miss Trump's funeral.
[SPEAKER_05]: You know Michelle Obama showing up for that one, right?
[SPEAKER_05]: You know she's going to be there.
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, you know Melania's bringing a date, Pete.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, you know what I mean, she's got it.
[SPEAKER_05]: You've got to be there.
[SPEAKER_07]: And you realize now with this truth, social, whatever his, his, uh, a social thing is, yes, exactly.
[SPEAKER_07]: Um, they, uh, they're starting to put betting markets on there.
[SPEAKER_07]: So I'm going to, I, I would, I am going to laugh my ass off at the, the betting market that will pop up when he drops dead about who is going, what, what Melania's day is going to be to his funeral, because that will be just hilarious.
[SPEAKER_05]: They won't run that on his site, but yeah, I mean, of course, look, these guys are going to have nickel slots in their presidential library, okay?
[SPEAKER_05]: Their whole drift is taking money from these rooms, and Trump will be taking these rooms welfare checks from beyond the grave.
[SPEAKER_09]: Now, I have a question.
[SPEAKER_09]: Since Donald can't have casinos in any of his hotels where you can have a casino because he can't pass a FBI background check, technically, how can he have gambling on his site?
[SPEAKER_05]: because he's a brand licensor, so he can license his name.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's all he does.
[SPEAKER_05]: He doesn't build things, he licenses his crappy name out.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's somebody else runs it.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, that's what he does for all of his crappy merchandise that's made in Mexico and China.
[SPEAKER_05]: He's a brand licensor.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, but he's so tells, and Vegas, the hotel in Vegas cannot have a casino because of Donald Trump.
[SPEAKER_05]: Let's wait a little, let's wait and see, shall we?
[SPEAKER_05]: You mean you think that's going to last?
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, the last time he was in office, he did a lot of laws are to be followed by man bathing.
[SPEAKER_05]: Is that what you're saying, man bathing has to obey the laws?
[SPEAKER_05]: Is that the point?
[SPEAKER_07]: Good point.
[SPEAKER_07]: I do think I do think it is fun that they are making them follow a lot more laws.
[SPEAKER_07]: They had to bovino basically had to do detention.
[SPEAKER_07]: He didn't do it though.
[SPEAKER_07]: It was over.
[SPEAKER_07]: They gave it, they paused it for one day.
[SPEAKER_07]: There was a ruling of supposed to be out like five, 30 today, obviously, you know, knowing the time that we're here.
[SPEAKER_07]: We did not, we have not seen it yet.
[SPEAKER_07]: Um, but, uh,
[SPEAKER_07]: long and short.
[SPEAKER_07]: It was only supposed to be a temporary pause and basically they were like, you know, get the rulings in, get the information in.
[SPEAKER_07]: But yeah, we'll probably let that go back.
[SPEAKER_07]: And then Bavino every day at 6 p.m. has to go to the judge and say, ma'am, here's what I did today and here's what my people did today, which is fine.
[SPEAKER_07]: I mean, I don't see any reason.
[SPEAKER_07]: You can't trust his people in Chicago anyway.
[SPEAKER_07]: So oh my god.
[SPEAKER_09]: And he's supposed to wear a body cam now, right?
[SPEAKER_07]: Uh-huh, gotta wear a body cam, gotta have the footage available of the judge, basically every day.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, which, you know, there are a lot of people who are standing up, and there are enforcements of laws in other places, happening.
[SPEAKER_07]: There's a piece that we noted earlier today, John, that Zach Bachamp over at Vox put it up about how it's not just the laws, but people themselves.
[SPEAKER_07]: Like we were talking about with CVS.
[SPEAKER_07]: Um, they got hit.
[SPEAKER_07]: Um, who was it here with the, uh, the camel thing.
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, ABC Disney.
[SPEAKER_07]: They got hit.
[SPEAKER_07]: People are finding ways to hit back.
[SPEAKER_07]: And it's actually mattering.
[SPEAKER_07]: And that's important.
[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: And I, you know, I, I'd, I'd.
[SPEAKER_07]: I am proud of the people who are standing up and standing proud for things and the law does matter and what we do matters what we do matters I know that's there are all kinds of biblical phrases for it and all kinds of phrases in other religions too but I just look at it and saying being a good person matters and it reflects on all of us and I'm glad for all those people who are standing up and doing the right thing when nobody is looking.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, by the way, we're going to go to war in Venezuela for that.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
[SPEAKER_05]: by the state of Arizona for refusing to swear in Edelead, Grahalva.
[SPEAKER_05]: Like Mike Johnson is literally keeping 800,000 Arizona's from having representation, because she is the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.
[SPEAKER_05]: He is blocking democracy to protect our nastiest secret racist, rapist club, and Arizona, friends, is the same state that gave us Barry Goldwater and Sheriff Joe Arpio.
[SPEAKER_05]: Now has a Democratic governor and Christian senators and they're like yeah, but now they have two Democratic senators and now one of them is persons and a Democratic governor and they're like you know what we're drawn the line at evangelical pedophile obstruction a turny jettable Chris Mays honest great she said Johnson is stripping Arizona's of their voice and then we saw what two dozen Democratic attorneys general sue over food stamps.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, we go.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, there's people fighting back all over the place
[SPEAKER_05]: whether mainstream media covers it or not.
[SPEAKER_09]: Well, the thing with the Arizona thing is, I just wish, because Johnson basically said, well, she can start making calls and she can't.
[SPEAKER_09]: Her office, she can't do, if she weren't to start doing any constituent work, it could be deemed you can't do it because he weren't sworn in.
[SPEAKER_07]: So she can't, and now the computer stuff, she can't even, she can't even get into the computers themselves.
[SPEAKER_05]: He is ghosting democracy.
[SPEAKER_05]: He's treating Congress like it's his own porn search history.
[SPEAKER_09]: I mean his grinder search.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_07]: Well, you know, he has tiny Johnson after all.
[SPEAKER_07]: So John, we are always glad when you are here.
[SPEAKER_07]: We know next week, you're going to be doing a few other things.
[SPEAKER_07]: But look, if people want to see you in what is it two weeks here in DC, you should be here for your tour.
[SPEAKER_07]: So check that out.
[SPEAKER_07]: We've got the link in the guest section.
[SPEAKER_07]: We are always glad to have you here.
[SPEAKER_07]: John, thank you so much, man.
[SPEAKER_05]: Thank you, sir.
[SPEAKER_05]: Have a great evening.
[SPEAKER_07]: Thank you too, as well.
[SPEAKER_07]: Tomorrow, we've got
[SPEAKER_07]: You know, when I'm celebrating Devil's Night tonight, don't, you know, don't do anything stupid.
[SPEAKER_07]: Have some fun.
[SPEAKER_07]: Be smart.
[SPEAKER_07]: Come back tomorrow and hang out with us here at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_07]: All right.
[SPEAKER_07]: We'll see you there.
