[SPEAKER_11]: We went to a compadre in West Hollywood with my friends.
[SPEAKER_04]: How was that?
[SPEAKER_11]: Was the staff mostly the same or the... They seemed similar, but what was funny was, two of my very English friends were also there at the same time, and I didn't even see them.
[SPEAKER_04]: really.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, they took pictures.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm like, is it just like a big enough place.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's that big a place and they were in another part of the restaurant at the same exact time that we were.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's cool.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm like wait, what time are you typing?
[SPEAKER_11]: What time were you there?
[SPEAKER_04]: And they're like, oh man, you're like, hey, at the same time I was.
[SPEAKER_11]: We left at 7 p.m.
[SPEAKER_11]: And they're like, no, we were there from 5.30 to 8.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I'm like, dude, we were totally there at the same time.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's pretty cool.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh goodness.
[SPEAKER_04]: I got a little sleep that I didn't necessarily want to.
[SPEAKER_04]: I need more sleep than I get.
[SPEAKER_04]: Don't we all?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: True.
[SPEAKER_04]: Jody is right.
[SPEAKER_04]: But, um, I just, I had to take an app Sunday afternoon.
[SPEAKER_04]: I just my, my, my, literally I could not keep my head up.
[SPEAKER_04]: I understand.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: I get it.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: I was gone for a couple hours.
[SPEAKER_11]: So that's a good nap.
[SPEAKER_04]: not a bad nap, not a bad nap.
[SPEAKER_04]: Usually I try to keep him around, you know, 25, 30 minutes.
[SPEAKER_11]: So I can, you know, I can't even fall asleep in that time period.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, but I just, I had to, had to do what I had to do.
[SPEAKER_04]: So, you know, I want to take care of you.
[SPEAKER_04]: I got I've got to get I got to get a haircut my hair is not the way I know you've been messing with your hair before you went on I'm like how do you usually me that mess is my hair I don't usually mess with it but my hair is longer than I'd like and you know I couldn't connect up with my barber probably won't connect up this week so probably to be next week it's just yeah you know

[SPEAKER_04]: You know, Pertsker this afternoon, he did, he did a presser, said things a little bit more.
[SPEAKER_04]: He was, he was animated.
[SPEAKER_04]: You could tell.
[SPEAKER_04]: He was a little bit, a little bit frustrated, but, you know, slam the Trump thuggery.
[SPEAKER_04]: And really, that's what it is.
[SPEAKER_04]: It is.
[SPEAKER_04]: Trump has decided
[SPEAKER_04]: And I'm very glad so far that there have been some some really good judges and some really good lawyers and really good protesters and people They have a lot of people a lot of places punching back and punching them in the face not literally we don't we'll talk about political violence and what it has to do with Stephen Miller a little later
[SPEAKER_04]: But metaphorically punching these, you know, Nazis in the face, and that's what you should do.
[SPEAKER_04]: And that's what that's what you, that's my recommendation of what you should do with Nazis, not literally, but figuratively speaking.
[SPEAKER_11]: I just did it today, I voted yes on Prop 50.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, woohoo!
[SPEAKER_04]: That was exactly what people should be doing.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, I'm profiting.
[SPEAKER_04]: By the way, last check, the polls are somewhere above 60% 60, 65% in favor of Prop 50 in California.
[SPEAKER_04]: So that's good news.
[SPEAKER_04]: I thought it was only 51.
[SPEAKER_11]: So it's, if it keeps going on.
[SPEAKER_04]: Look, act like, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, you may have seen different polls.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I did.
[SPEAKER_04]: But I'm going, there's, there's no, I mean, it's a simple thing.
[SPEAKER_11]: It says, hey, we're going to do this until 2031.
[SPEAKER_11]: And then we're going to go back to normal.
[SPEAKER_04]: the one thing that I wish that Democrats would do, whether they're anywhere in this country, is call the Republicans for the cheaters that they are.
[SPEAKER_04]: And that's not necessarily Republican voters, but their cheaters, their liars, their frauds, their chisters, as my granddad would call them, and that's the bad word.
[SPEAKER_04]: Still a bad word, still a bad word.
[SPEAKER_11]: But the thing is, the prop 50 is very easily.
[SPEAKER_11]: We would not be doing this if we're not for Texas, basically.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's in the prop.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: Like if you, it's the easiest ballot I've ever had.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's just one thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, well, in California, especially because you guys have usually like three or four or five pages.
[SPEAKER_11]: So it was just one thing.
[SPEAKER_11]: And it basically says, we're not for Texas redistricting.
[SPEAKER_11]: We would not be doing this.
[SPEAKER_04]: which is fine and that's and and it's actually it's temporary if Republicans would play fair exactly that that's the whole whole shutdown thing too and and what will we'll get to talk about that too um the the attacks on Portland and on uh... chicago though um first of all the attack on Portland uh... federal judge who trump actually appoints yes it's a lady person right
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, she had to smack him not once, but twice over the weekend.
[SPEAKER_04]: The judge's name here.
[SPEAKER_04]: Let me get to this here.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's Karen Emergut's trauma pointed by Trump during his first regime.
[SPEAKER_04]: She literally said the Trump administration had overstepped its authority and was not allowed to deploy Oregon's National Guard to Portland.
[SPEAKER_04]: So then Steven Miller said, Oh, well, if we can't use Oregon National Guard, then we'll pull from California and Texas and it literally ended up in court like 24 hours later, she was so pissed off wasn't like midnight.
[SPEAKER_04]: It was it was was the first time it was late and then then then the next time it was a little bit earlier in the day, but she was just like what the hell she was so mad and and and and she basically she said to the DOJ lawyer for for for the Trump folks she basically was like, who the hell do you think you are trying to get around my ruling my I made my ruling very clear that there was nothing going on in Portland.
[SPEAKER_04]: that needed the National Guard that this was overstepped.
[SPEAKER_04]: She cited the different things in the federal law and said, there's no reason for this.
[SPEAKER_04]: You come back to me a day later, less than a day later, with this BS, uh-uh, no.
[SPEAKER_04]: So she said, there can be no National Guard from anywhere in the U.S.
[SPEAKER_04]: That will be going to Portland right now.
[SPEAKER_04]: They're not all horrible that have gotten through some of them actually, you know, and that's That's one of the reasons why I do think that there needs to be it's something that's in the law It's called judicial review and they don't do very often, but I think that's that there's there's a piece that we've got in the news on tap today Try and remember where I put this particular one it does happen to be I believe in the third section talking about justice and injustice from Jason Lincoln's
[SPEAKER_04]: And he talks about how stopping and reversing the massive damage done by the Supreme Court and really a lot of the installation of these Trump judges.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's going to require some radical strategies.
[SPEAKER_04]: And one of them I do think is that we're going to need judicial review for every judge over the last, say, 15 years.
[SPEAKER_04]: I agree.
[SPEAKER_04]: And basically, every single one would have to go through and have their rulings judged by a broad variety of people who aren't necessarily ideologically aligned with them.
[SPEAKER_04]: And if there seems to be a very significant, you know, offset trend, where you're constantly ignoring the law or ignoring precedent, then you have to be questioned and you could lose your job, you could lose your position as a judge, and I think every single one of them needs to go through that.
[SPEAKER_04]: because of the fact of some of them are, you know, look because they're biased because they're, they, they, they swear of an oath internally to Trump, not to the constitution.
[SPEAKER_04]: Some of them are probably, you know, they have Donald's problem.
[SPEAKER_04]: They're a little too old.
[SPEAKER_04]: They, they've probably been there a little too long.
[SPEAKER_04]: But all of them need to go through it.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I think it should be something it should be done, probably every couple of years.
[SPEAKER_04]: That way it's, you know, look, we're putting in the robot system in baseball to judge in baseball to judge the judges to judge the empires to judge the officials because we can't trust the officials anymore.
[SPEAKER_04]: So, I see no reason that we shouldn't find some way of having a system.
[SPEAKER_04]: And yes, that's kind of radical.
[SPEAKER_04]: But, you know, it's the old thing for me of just like with unions.
[SPEAKER_04]: Some people are like, well, I don't like unions.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm like unions exist because corporations are corrupt as hell.
[SPEAKER_04]: If you weren't so corrupt, there wouldn't be a need for unions.
[SPEAKER_04]: But since you decide not to play by the rules, the rest of us have to do something else.
[SPEAKER_04]: So that's you know that's that's but the it was judge judge Karen ever got was was pretty pretty hard on this and then in Illinois today this morning uh... they they also filed suit to block Trump's national guard deployment to the Chicago area which is great uh... you know a prince girl was on over the weekend he was on earlier this afternoon but uh... he was also over the weekend he was uh... hum pucking
[SPEAKER_04]: to Jake Taffer.
[SPEAKER_04]: Here, let me play this from the DVR.
[SPEAKER_05]: Remember, this judge is a Trump appointed judge.
[SPEAKER_05]: This judge actually said what I think should be said about all of what Donald Trump is doing, which is it's untethered from the facts.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's what the judge said.
[SPEAKER_05]: That what the government is doing, what Trump is doing is untethered from the facts.
[SPEAKER_05]: that's the case he was claiming that the you know it's mayhem on the grounds of on the streets of Portland he's saying that you know Chicago is a war zone none of that is true they're just making this up and then what do they do they fire tear gas and smoke grenades and they make it look like it's a war zone and they
[SPEAKER_05]: you know, get people on the ground are frankly incited to want to do something about it.
[SPEAKER_05]: Appropriately, I mean, if you were on the ground and you're being having tear gas pellets fired at you as they have been doing in Broadview, Illinois, you know, you want to, you want to react, you want something to happen.
[SPEAKER_05]: And unfortunately, they're using every lever at their disposal to keep us from maintaining order.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yep, Governor Pritzker is right.
[SPEAKER_11]: And we'll talk to Karen about it on Friday.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, we absolutely will, because I was, uh, I was, uh, you know, connecting with people online, uh, over the weekend.
[SPEAKER_04]: Obviously, social media and stuff trying to keep updated as to what was going on.
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, ice literally shot tear gas at the Chicago Police Department.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, police officers.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, there, there were, there were reports of, you know, of legitimate journalists there of neighbors coming out and helping the CPD.
[SPEAKER_04]: Now, I don't know why this, why CPD Chicago Police Department did not go after the ice monsters, because I sure is hell would have if I was CPD.
[SPEAKER_11]: They were basically told not to intervene at all.
[SPEAKER_11]: That was it.
[SPEAKER_04]: If somebody does something illegal, especially like shooting, you know, tear gas at me and I'm a cop and my job is to, and there's no reason to shoot to, you know, No, there wasn't.
[SPEAKER_11]: I know that that that stuff was happening there and that CPD wasn't going to help the ice monsters.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right, but the same as the neighbors, neighbors were coming out of their houses to help CPD because of the ice monsters attacking.
[SPEAKER_04]: And the ice monsters, number of them had cameras, Juliet Cayam, who, you know, we know, she's a natural security person.
[SPEAKER_04]: She has a lot of stuff in different places.
[SPEAKER_04]: She noted, because she saw some pictures.
[SPEAKER_04]: She noted on her social media that there were pictures that they were cameras, both in Portland and Chicago.
[SPEAKER_04]: They're doing all this for propaganda and beer roll footage, that's what the ice monsters are doing.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's all a show folks, and unfortunately people can actually get hurt in this kind of show.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes, can't stay, baby.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yep, see?
[SPEAKER_04]: Jody's right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Look, we've got all kinds of news on tap.
[SPEAKER_04]: Some of it is, you know, tough to deal with.
[SPEAKER_04]: Some of it is a little bit easier to deal with.
[SPEAKER_04]: We've got a great drink of the day.
[SPEAKER_04]: It is, in fact, the goat of drinks of the day.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's one way to say it.
[SPEAKER_11]: I love you, look at that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Look, we also have to have a Brooklyn dad to fire coming in a little bit later.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's a Monday night, hang on.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right back, after we pay some bills at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_04]: Monday night here at the politics bar you got you Jody Hamilton you got you me Sean's been fierce and we got you as well Also, we are Brooklyn dad to find coming in as we imagine gonna be a good week John Feekel single actually be in tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_04]: He well.
[SPEAKER_04]: I know that'll confuse some of them
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, uh, Joe, Joe from Jerry, she'll be in later this week, Bob Cesca, both Karen and Anita, and potentially, uh, someone else.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, well, well, see, look, it's, uh, it's a, it's a Monday night.
[SPEAKER_04]: We're just here at the beginning of the week.
[SPEAKER_04]: And we're still on shutdown, by the way.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Thanks, Tiny Johnson.
[SPEAKER_04]: I am not impressed with him at all.
[SPEAKER_04]: He is a very small man and literally and figuratively speaking.
[SPEAKER_04]: And so his Trump about this kind of thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: House Democrats, by the way, had a caucus meeting this afternoon.
[SPEAKER_04]: The House Republicans, they're not even in DC.
[SPEAKER_04]: Nope.
[SPEAKER_04]: Center Republicans, by the way, had a fundraiser at a really swanky golf resort down in Georgia this weekend.
[SPEAKER_04]: So they were not around as well.
[SPEAKER_11]: And they're blaming the Democrats for not, wait, I'm confused.
[SPEAKER_04]: They're losing the messaging war.
[SPEAKER_04]: Most people still seem to be understanding that the primary deal on the shutdown is this.
[SPEAKER_04]: There are three asks.
[SPEAKER_04]: We told you guys here in the bar about this.
[SPEAKER_04]: There are three basic asks.
[SPEAKER_04]: Look, the first ask is, don't be a welcher.
[SPEAKER_04]: Don't try to cheat me, don't lie.
[SPEAKER_04]: Don't be a lion, P.O.S.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's the first one.
[SPEAKER_04]: Democrats are asking that, and Republicans are saying, cross the board, nope, we want a lion cheat.
[SPEAKER_04]: So Democrats don't want you to lion cheat.
[SPEAKER_04]: Republicans want to lion cheat.
[SPEAKER_04]: The media says, but we can't say that Republicans want a lion cheat.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, yes, you can.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, you can.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's really easy.
[SPEAKER_04]: You say Republicans want to lion cheat.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_04]: You know what?
[SPEAKER_04]: That's true.
[SPEAKER_04]: because they want to go back in and they want to use resisions.
[SPEAKER_04]: They want Democrats to agree to let them cheat so that whatever is passed automatically, they can go back in and cut things out that they don't like.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Jodie, if I made a deal with you and then, and the moment the deal was done, I went back and I changed the rules on the deal.
[SPEAKER_04]: Would you think very well of me?
[SPEAKER_04]: No.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, rightfully so.
[SPEAKER_04]: And yet that's what Republicans want to do.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's the first ask.
[SPEAKER_04]: The second ask is Democrats want the ACA subsidies back so that people can afford to that Charles Gabba who we had in here last week, week before.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think it was last week, yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Great data guy.
[SPEAKER_04]: Uh, he's he's put out more stuff over at his site, ACA signups.net.
[SPEAKER_04]: And he's also going to place there where you can donate to Democrats who are running for office if that's what you would like to do.
[SPEAKER_04]: And he doesn't make the money off of it.
[SPEAKER_04]: That actually goes to them.
[SPEAKER_04]: So which we love you, Charles.
[SPEAKER_04]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_04]: But um the the whole deal with with this shutdown.
[SPEAKER_04]: Even Republicans, there is a Republican insurance commissioner in
[SPEAKER_04]: And he's agreeing, the reason why Democrats are pushing so hard is that the ACA subsidies need to be extended because open enrollment starts November 1st.
[SPEAKER_04]: Which means you're getting your notices if you haven't gotten your notice already about there may be a change to your health insurance.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, mine's going to go up like a couple hundred dollars a month.
[SPEAKER_04]: which sucks and a lot of people's is and a lot of people's is going to go up a couple hundred dollars or more someone couple thousand dollars or more and at the same time the care will go down so the level of care goes down the cost goes up which is insane but people say I want to look for something new maybe maybe they're on the open market which I I thought Republicans were all for open markets I thought they they they liked markets don't they they they say you know let the market decide
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, right.
[SPEAKER_11]: Remember that.
[SPEAKER_04]: I forgot.
[SPEAKER_04]: I thought Republicans might actually care about other people.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I'm not talking about some of your Republicans out there who, you know, your, your, you know, non-Trump folks and that kind of thing, you know, the, the maga folks who believe whatever Donald says, they really, I got issues with them.
[SPEAKER_04]: Mm-hm.
[SPEAKER_04]: For most people, you want to pay less on your health insurance, they, you know, the, yes, the ACA is not perfect.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's still a clutch.
[SPEAKER_04]: But it's a way for you to go out on an open market and compare plans.
[SPEAKER_11]: Because prior to that, trying to get on a different plan, you couldn't.
[SPEAKER_04]: It was it was ridiculously hard to do, especially if you were not in like employer provided insurance.
[SPEAKER_11]: I tried.
[SPEAKER_11]: I tried before the ACA to get on the different plan and they were like, well, you have high blood pressure and you have, I can't get you on.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, those were the existing conditions.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_04]: That was one of the great things that the ACA got rid of is, nope, sorry.
[SPEAKER_04]: You can't have those, which is gay, I mean, that's fantastic.
[SPEAKER_04]: The thing is, if people are going to be switching, they need to be able to start making their decisions as of November 1st.
[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: That means the subsidies need to be there because if they make their decision between November 1st and when the window closes and I believe it's early December, I believe so.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's like a month.
[SPEAKER_04]: and then Republicans change the rules on them.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's not just Republicans screwing Democrats in Congress.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's Republicans screwing you and potentially meaning that in January, you would then have to resign from your health care plan.
[SPEAKER_04]: And then you wouldn't be able to get another plan.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, it's also messing up the insurance companies because they're relying on that.
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, I don't like them, but they are relying on that subsidy.
[SPEAKER_11]: True.
[SPEAKER_11]: As well.
[SPEAKER_11]: So as much as I do, like that they make a profit, they're still relying on that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Everybody for millions and billions, there's a millions of people.
[SPEAKER_04]: It messes up billions of dollars, yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: So even Republicans, some of them are agreeing that yes, the ACA subsidies need to be taken care of and needs to be done now before open enrollment.
[SPEAKER_04]: And then the third ask of Democrats.
[SPEAKER_04]: So we have the first two asks.
[SPEAKER_04]: We have the, you know, stop being a cheater.
[SPEAKER_04]: And then we have the second one, which is fix the ACA stuff, fix the ACA subsidies.
[SPEAKER_04]: And the third one, which is give back the money that you stole from Medicaid and Medicare.
[SPEAKER_04]: That was in the big ugly bill.
[SPEAKER_04]: And Republicans are like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
[SPEAKER_04]: They, of course, they don't even want to talk about the big ugly bill now.
[SPEAKER_04]: They have no desire.
[SPEAKER_11]: They have to rename it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, it didn't work very well, but are they all Rick Scott now because he was stole from Medicare?
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh my god.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: The worst fraudster for Medicare that there is.
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe they, maybe they have the same problem that Donnie does.
[SPEAKER_04]: Did you hear some of this ridiculousness?
[SPEAKER_04]: So celebrating the Navy is 250th anniversary over the weekend when he shut the government down.
[SPEAKER_04]: He can't even remember the name of his own book.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm kidding.
[SPEAKER_00]: Watch your summer bin Laden, and the fake news would never let me get away with that statement, unless it was true.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I said, one year before to Pete Hanks had, I said, one year before, whispered in the book, I wrote, whatever the hell that title I can't tell you.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I can't tell you there's a page in there devoted to the fact that I saw somebody named Osama bin Laden, and I didn't like it, and you get
[SPEAKER_04]: He can't even remember the name of his own book that I mean, admittedly, it was ghost written by somebody else, but he didn't actually write the book, but this is a book that he's been promoting for what 25 years, 30 years.
[SPEAKER_11]: Didn't Kenny Loggins do a fake song.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know what was Kenny, but somebody did a fix on.
[SPEAKER_04]: I know that I know that Steph has that.
[SPEAKER_11]: What's Kenny Loggins?
[SPEAKER_11]: And it was a whole... It actually was Kenny Loggins.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, it is.
[SPEAKER_04]: Kenny Loggins.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's funny.
[SPEAKER_04]: That is hilarious.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_04]: I saw that Steph was back this morning, which was good.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's a good thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, for that.
[SPEAKER_04]: By the way, did you see something else that was really good for one of our friends?
[SPEAKER_04]: This one is down in the entertainment section of the news on Tap today.
[SPEAKER_04]: Who is Bob Saskus favorite rock band of all time?
[SPEAKER_11]: Rush.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, the remaining members get a lead out of life.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, so there's only two left and getting an Alex are going on a 2026 reunion tour.
[SPEAKER_10]: Did you see the video of it?
[SPEAKER_10]: It's so sweet.
[SPEAKER_04]: No.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's with them talking about it.
[SPEAKER_10]: It's just so sweet.
[SPEAKER_04]: Now, I was going through the entertainment news for us and I saw that and I was like, oh, I bet when Donna Halper, who, as you know, helped, you know, discover Russia, whatever, when she tells Bob all the details, he'll go nuts.
[SPEAKER_04]: And of course, Donna was like, I'll be there soon, I'll tell all the details.
[SPEAKER_11]: Bob, of course, was like, like, like, like, like, like, like, no, the video that I saw, I think was on Facebook or something earlier today.
[SPEAKER_11]: It was just so sweet.
[SPEAKER_11]: The two of them talking about Neil.
[SPEAKER_11]: Who's the songwriter of the band, by the way?
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, he was the guy.
[SPEAKER_04]: Part of the band, yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: But they have a lady drummer.
[SPEAKER_04]: Really interesting.
[SPEAKER_11]: And he was like, oh, I love her.
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't remember her name because she's going to be great.
[SPEAKER_11]: She, she, she and like.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's cool.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's great.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm trying to remember.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'll find it.
[SPEAKER_04]: Because I don't say there are several really good female rock drummers out.
[SPEAKER_11]: I really I really dig that that some of the bands are art are and me can niles are kneels and I L Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, she's gonna be the drummer and that she's got some big shoes to fill because I mean kneel is like
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, but it's nice, it's nice to see that, you know, they're broadening and broadening out the opportunities and you go, that's the way it should be, you know, so that'll be fun.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's a good thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: By the way, for those of you who missed it over the weekend, Tigers Dodgers, Blue Jays and Brewers all won their first game, oh, oh, oh, by the way, I have to say this.
[SPEAKER_04]: We got a message from Julie on Substack.
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, uh, she says, uh, she, you know, she's good luck to you in the Dodgers.
[SPEAKER_04]: Jody, she says, but she has to cheer for the Milwaukee Brewers.
[SPEAKER_04]: Cause she's in Milwaukee.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, that's okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: Mark, that's fine.
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, whatever your team is, they need we don't do things like, you know, like with Maga, where they say you have to root for Donald Trump or we'll kill you.
[SPEAKER_04]: and literally some of them do say that.
[SPEAKER_04]: We'll talk about that political violence a little bit later.
[SPEAKER_04]: But no, no, no.
[SPEAKER_04]: We're like, you know, you want to root for whoever you want to root for.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's fine.
[SPEAKER_09]: Toronto is the Go Yodgers.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, on the other side, on the other side of the bracket, Toronto thumps the Yankees yesterday, 13 to 7.
[SPEAKER_04]: So, Toronto is up on New York by two games.
[SPEAKER_04]: And Seattle Mariners took game 2 so that even the series against the Detroit Tigers has been interesting that one has been more interesting than I thought it would be so I'm like Okay, and going on probably as you're listening right now this evening.
[SPEAKER_04]: I believe that the Dodgers game is going on now.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think against the Phillies.
[SPEAKER_04]: Go to yours.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm with you on that one.
[SPEAKER_04]: I, you know, look, when it's when it's a sports bracket or a movie bracket or a music bracket where I don't have any skin in the game, I try to pick a team of, you know, it's like, oh, like, whatever.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I'm like, yeah, as you can see, I'm wearing a nice, dodger blue shirt today.
[SPEAKER_04]: Adam Mano, there you go.
[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, plus the judges have just been, you know, kicking ass left and right, so it's kind of fun to watch.
[SPEAKER_04]: So they have kind of can't remember the name of their, their closer young guy, new guy, and he just absolutely did fantastic.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, this weekend.
[SPEAKER_04]: So it's kind of nice.
[SPEAKER_04]: So it's different.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's a little pullaway from some of the political news because political news has been just so awful.
[SPEAKER_04]: Although, although we haven't talked about Chicago a lot.
[SPEAKER_04]: And, you know, one of our favorites, the idea of a Pope Bob.
[SPEAKER_11]: I love Pope Bob so much.
[SPEAKER_04]: Pope Bob is great.
[SPEAKER_04]: He actually, so we've got a clip up that's in the free news on tap.
[SPEAKER_04]: He actually criticized Trump.
[SPEAKER_04]: And he's urging Catholics to help immigrants like those Trump and the ICE agents are attacking.
[SPEAKER_11]: Because he believes in jibis.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: He believes in, you know, helping the stranger.
[SPEAKER_11]: you know like jibis.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm like come on folks.
[SPEAKER_11]: This is.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's not that hard.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, literally right now on on one side, you've got the good people of every kind and background and every faith.
[SPEAKER_04]: We've even got the pope on our side.
[SPEAKER_04]: We have on our side, we have Democrats, independents, some Republicans, some unregistered folks.
[SPEAKER_04]: We have citizens and immigrants and like I said and the Pope and the the new head of the Anglican Church Who is a woman?
[SPEAKER_04]: Don't write so we okay, this is one side on the other side you have people like Steven Miller Who threatens Democrats with violence and then got mad over the weekend because a judge in South Carolina
[SPEAKER_04]: her and her husband who is a former sophomore on a state center democratic state center had their house burned to the ground.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, they did with their family and it and their family had to to go to the hospital and and he millers mad because well, you're you're accusing me of political violence.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, not using you directly political vines, but we're accusing you of of.
[SPEAKER_04]: Filming it.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, phomenting.
[SPEAKER_04]: Good word.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I realized that that did work somewhat with Elon Musk, so maybe we should try calling him president Miller because it will get under Donald's skin.
[SPEAKER_04]: And it's pretty obvious that that that's the attacks on Chicago, the blackhawk helicopters, the trying to attack the people in Portland who were just, you know, putting like donuts on the end of fish hooks.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, come on.
[SPEAKER_04]: Here copy copy copy copy copy.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, you know, that's just haunting.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's not.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, it's that's, but, but Steven Miller was, and he was in his social media was using violent words.
[SPEAKER_04]: And you go, you know, as we said before, the left in general has not been the one in political violence, the right of the world.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, and the right has overwhelmingly been responsible.
[SPEAKER_04]: And they are again.
[SPEAKER_04]: And as as Governor Pritzker said in that cut we played here a little bit ago, he said that they are, they're trying to get people to respond.
[SPEAKER_04]: And they're trying to get people, and that's one thing you guys got to watch for.
[SPEAKER_04]: They want you to respond with violence.
[SPEAKER_09]: They do.
[SPEAKER_04]: Don't do it.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Violence.
[SPEAKER_04]: Don't play that game.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's an easy time.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's so easy to just bring somebody in or something like that.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: Wait, the right wing guy that got arrested in Portland was pissed off because he got arrested because he was agitating as I did.
[SPEAKER_11]: Don't agitate her.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'd say, I'd say, uh... Bobby, a Coke.
[SPEAKER_04]: But, you know, we just haven't, we have the drink of the day coming, so.
[SPEAKER_04]: How about that?
[SPEAKER_04]: We, we will talk about that.
[SPEAKER_04]: The drink of the day does involve the cubs and the tigers.
[SPEAKER_04]: And since it's October, it involves a little bit of scary stuff, too.
[SPEAKER_04]: Look, stick around, we got the drink of the day coming up next.
[SPEAKER_04]: Here, at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_08]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar.

[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: No question on that one.
[SPEAKER_04]: Look, it is spooky season.
[SPEAKER_04]: So you know, I'll talk about curses, talk about, you know, ghosts, and black cats, and all those kind of things.
[SPEAKER_09]: And my black cat is a beautiful little boy.
[SPEAKER_09]: He looks like Batman.
[SPEAKER_04]: OK.
[SPEAKER_04]: I, you know, some people are like, you know, how are you?
[SPEAKER_04]: They're saying bad things.
[SPEAKER_11]: whether you like it or not black cats are considered kind of you know which is in Halloween and spooky stuff not anymore after the movie flow was it People are starting to adopt more black cats now because of that movie.
[SPEAKER_11]: Did you see it?
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, that's a not a Pixar movie, right?
[SPEAKER_04]: Is it so good?
[SPEAKER_11]: No, it's not a Pixar film.
[SPEAKER_11]: Um, no.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's is it animated?
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes, it is.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, but that's what I'm talking about.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I knew I knew it was an animated movie.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's really really good
[SPEAKER_04]: I saw a little bit of life not seen it.
[SPEAKER_11]: I should see it so good and we'll make you cry, but it's a good cry.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_11]: We'll see you in a bit of sweet movie.
[SPEAKER_04]: My pop is a little black pop, so it's perfectly fine.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's great.
[SPEAKER_04]: But the drink of the day today, it involves, well, not a pop or a kitty.
[SPEAKER_04]: It involves a goat.
[SPEAKER_04]: It does.
[SPEAKER_04]: what is what is the drink of the day and what is it what what is it inspired well it's called the Chicago cocktail okay and it's inspired by the curse of the billy goat which happened today in nineteen forty five yes this dates October six nineteen forty five
[SPEAKER_04]: All the game when Greek immigrant will you see on us will you see on us purchased a bar originally called the Lincoln tavern You know where the Chicago stadium used to be Yeah, whether it was a big indoor home of the bulls and the the black ox and I guess this bar was right across from it.
[SPEAKER_11]: It was
[SPEAKER_04]: there's a story we have we have some of this linked in the drink of the day i guess uh... nineteen forty four the republicans had uh... their big annual convention there and he specifically said that no republicans could come in the bar so the republicans came into the bar and they all sat down and said well you're just gonna have to service and he said well okay if you're gonna buy beer or whatever i guess i'll have to serve you
[SPEAKER_04]: He was well known for basically housing people but in a fun way to try to make more money is a very good businessmen and he would do things like hang out with his goat yeah okay so you're like really what he is he had a pet goat name Murphy he did and he he changed the name of the Lincoln tavern to the billy goat tavern
[SPEAKER_04]: Right, right, in honor of his coach and in honor of the fact that he was also called Billy.
[SPEAKER_11]: So right.
[SPEAKER_11]: So, okay.
[SPEAKER_11]: So, according reports, Sianas was wieldor, okay.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm going to go back a little bit further.
[SPEAKER_11]: Sianas handed the usher to
[SPEAKER_04]: as if there was one, uh, yeah, Philip K. Riggly of Riggly field.
[SPEAKER_11]: There you go, Riggly.
[SPEAKER_11]: And Riggly come, I remember that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Same guy, yes.
[SPEAKER_11]: So he wouldn't let him bring Murphy back to the stadium.
[SPEAKER_11]: And Susiana said one at the go, and he says, because the goat stinks, and then you're going to lose.
[SPEAKER_11]: This world series here are never going to another world series again.
[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly, exactly.
[SPEAKER_11]: Because you were chosen by goat.
[SPEAKER_04]: Billy Cihanna's brought his goat, bought a ticket for it.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, and he tried he tried after that.
[SPEAKER_04]: I guess there were a lot of things that they tried to break this Opposite curse, but on this day, October 6, 1945, the Cubs were playing the Tigers.
[SPEAKER_04]: And after Cyanus said what you said, you're never going to win the World Series again of the Cubs.
[SPEAKER_04]: They had been up in the series two to one.
[SPEAKER_04]: They lost the game of the Tigers.
[SPEAKER_04]: Then they lost the
[SPEAKER_04]: then they didn't get back to the world series for 71 years after the initial curse.
[SPEAKER_04]: We've we've got the whole story there.
[SPEAKER_04]: You guys should check it out.
[SPEAKER_11]: And there's lovely pictures of said goat.
[SPEAKER_04]: Now you have to remember, in 2016 the Cubs curse was said to be vanished when they defeated your L.A.
[SPEAKER_04]: died.
[SPEAKER_12]: I know just of that.
[SPEAKER_04]: I know, but the Cubs did go on win the world series against Cleveland.
[SPEAKER_04]: Now the Guardians, which I kind of like the Guardians.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's a good it's a better name.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_04]: Here's the trick though, that some people have, you talk to certain people who are politically related and you know, we're in the politics bar, so I guess that kind of.
[SPEAKER_04]: Some people say the cost of ending the Cubs curse was actually the loss of Hillary Clinton who is a Cubs fan to Donald Trump in 2016.
[SPEAKER_04]: So if you're wondering why all this is held for those of you who dislike the Cubs, you can in fact blame this on the Cubs.
[SPEAKER_04]: I know.
[SPEAKER_11]: We're not blaming the red socks when John Kerry was running and that was supposed to be him winning the election.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: So, you know, the people have superstitions of all different kinds, but regardless of your superstitions, this is a good drink and it's a Chicago cocktail and I'd like Chicago.
[SPEAKER_04]: I will let Chicago.
[SPEAKER_09]: I will let Chicago.
[SPEAKER_04]: I went to boot camp there.
[SPEAKER_04]: I went to a school there.
[SPEAKER_04]: I have friends there.
[SPEAKER_04]: Parker Maloy, who is one of our friends who's been here before.
[SPEAKER_04]: She's there and she's a couple's fan.
[SPEAKER_04]: So I do not blame her for it in no way.
[SPEAKER_04]: She definitely wanted Hillary Clinton that year as opposed to Donald Trump.
[SPEAKER_04]: If you had to choose, she was like, oh, yeah, duh, no question.
[SPEAKER_04]: So obvious.
[SPEAKER_04]: But
[SPEAKER_04]: Anyhow, we do have a drink just to if nothing else celebrate Chicago and what is in the Chicago cocktail.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_11]: What you're going to need is a mixing glass.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay, ice.
[SPEAKER_04]: Got it.
[SPEAKER_11]: A Nick and Nora or Kuplas pre-chilled.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_11]: Two ounces of brandy or cognac.
[SPEAKER_04]: Good stuff, right?
[SPEAKER_04]: Got it.
[SPEAKER_11]: A dash of quantro.
[SPEAKER_11]: Just a wee little bit.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's a dash.
[SPEAKER_11]: A dash of angostorra.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm getting better at that bitters.
[SPEAKER_11]: Maybe better at that than I used to be.
[SPEAKER_11]: So in Champaign or other sparkling wine to top it off.
[SPEAKER_11]: So what you need to do is you add the brandy or cognac quantro, the angostorra bitters to the mixing glass, add ice and stir gently, but thoroughly.
[SPEAKER_04]: And then you don't want to shake it because you're bruised.
[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_11]: You want to just lightleaster it and then you strain it into the cocktail glass and you top it with champagne or another sparkling wine and go joggers.
[SPEAKER_04]: Joe, he's always got to get that in there.
[SPEAKER_04]: And look, I'm rooting for the Dodgers this time.
[SPEAKER_04]: So I'm with you on that, Joe.

[SPEAKER_04]: More news on tap today.
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, so the Supreme Court is back.
[SPEAKER_11]: It is the first Monday in October.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it is.
[SPEAKER_11]: Um, they do it both like it.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I mean, they, they did do at least one thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: They, they, they finally, we can honestly say that this is kind of like, um,
[SPEAKER_04]: opening day for baseball season and before everybody plays on opening day before the games are played.
[SPEAKER_04]: Everybody has a winning record one way to put us to go.
[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, look Supreme Court got into session today and the first thing they decided they got one correct.
[SPEAKER_04]: One correct.
[SPEAKER_04]: So the Supreme Court rejects the Julia Maxwell's appeal of her criminal conviction today.
[SPEAKER_04]: given how crappy they are.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, at least six of them got it right because it only takes forward to bring a case up.
[SPEAKER_04]: So yeah, well, we'll have to see if we can get, uh, Ellie, Mistal or Chris Gidener in and maybe give us a preview of, uh, how many cases the Supreme Court is going to get wrong this time, including that one about, uh, concealed carry and, and having that in Hawaii because on private property, because that's insane to me.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's just dumb.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's, it's your private property.
[SPEAKER_04]: If you don't want to have guns on your private property, you should be able to not have guns
[SPEAKER_04]: I, and you.
[SPEAKER_04]: So yeah, I'll also, um, uh, speaking of the Epstein stuff.
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, some of the Trump officials want to commerce secretary Howard Lutt and sideline.
[SPEAKER_04]: They don't want to do in TV anymore.
[SPEAKER_04]: They called him a quote, Effing Domass.
[SPEAKER_04]: because, you know, he says things like, hey, there are tapes.
[SPEAKER_04]: Which, there are.
[SPEAKER_04]: Thanks, a pant load for that one there, Mr. Nud.
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, I mean, Ludnik.
[SPEAKER_04]: Sorry, I, Sean Louise.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, well, it happens sometimes.
[SPEAKER_04]: You say his name, and it just kind of, you know, flips out like that.
[SPEAKER_11]: Tripingly off the tongue.
[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: There is negotiation still going on between Israel and Hamas, although I thought this was kind of funny.
[SPEAKER_04]: So Hamas agreed to the deal, the peace point in deal over the weekend, and then Trump told Israel to stop bombing because Hamas says, okay, we're willing to deal.
[SPEAKER_04]: And Israel tells Donnie, yeah, if you, and they kept bonding anyway.
[SPEAKER_10]: Of course.
[SPEAKER_04]: And then Donnie got really mad and said, no, I don't think you want to stay at stop
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I, you know, I don't know how, I don't know how anybody thinks that we're more respected with Trump in because when you literally have, BB Netanyahu giving him the finger like that and going, whatever, I don't have a listen to you when you got Macron and the Albanian Prime Minister laughing at him.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yep, there was that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Although McCron's got some issues right now in France.
[SPEAKER_04]: So there, there have been some major protests.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, there's a system of government is a little bit different than ours.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes, it is.
[SPEAKER_04]: And they have a president and a prime minister.
[SPEAKER_04]: The president is above the prime minister.
[SPEAKER_04]: So they got a new prime minister here.
[SPEAKER_04]: Was it so weak ago, two weeks ago, something like that?
[SPEAKER_11]: Something like that, yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: I believe he picked a new government, you know, picked the people for the agencies he wanted.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think he did that on Saturday.
[SPEAKER_04]: And then on Sunday, he resigned.
[SPEAKER_04]: which gets rid of the whole government there and.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, so they they they're having some real trouble in France, which I mean, it concerns me because we don't want the we don't want the fascists to get to gain any more foothold.
[SPEAKER_12]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: But it seems like overall the French people,
[SPEAKER_04]: They right now almost seem like Puerto Rico.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: They seem to be evenly divided between the people who are kind of left of center, the people who are kind of fascist nut jobs, and the people who are like whatever, I don't care.
[SPEAKER_04]: Give me my baggots and my soccer and whatever.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I'm like folks, you got to participate.
[SPEAKER_04]: You got to be involved.
[SPEAKER_04]: So.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_04]: No.
[SPEAKER_04]: Just how it is.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, by the way, I meant to mention this to you, Julie on Substack.
[SPEAKER_04]: She said, thanks.
[SPEAKER_04]: Thanks for the history on the curse for the drink of the day.
[SPEAKER_04]: The drink sounds great.
[SPEAKER_04]: And she will drink a toast to Murphy, who was just the goat.
[SPEAKER_11]: Animals.
[SPEAKER_04]: So yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: I know.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not the only one who can come up with the bad puns.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's us.
[SPEAKER_04]: Brickland had to find also he if you've had follow him on his social media.
[SPEAKER_04]: He has come up with some decently bad puns.
[SPEAKER_04]: He's been actually he was on a Jojo's show.
[SPEAKER_04]: She has it as a podcast and yeah, he was on the same as she was in last week.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think it was week before so any add some no bad dad jokes there too.
[SPEAKER_04]: So look, he will be in here this next week.
[SPEAKER_04]: This next hour.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, we can.
[SPEAKER_04]: Wow, my brain is already.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's only Monday, honey.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, my brain is already thinking of a weekend because I'm like, oh man, but you know, hey, at least there, there is one good thing about the government being shut down, at least they can't, no, I can't even say that, I was gonna say at least they can't do anything stupid, but
[SPEAKER_04]: I know, I know, look, I'm optimistic.
[SPEAKER_04]: I was trying to be optimistic here, you know?
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: These days it is.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's something that's harder than other.
[SPEAKER_04]: But remember, we aim to be optimistic.

[SPEAKER_04]: Here's the thing though.
[SPEAKER_04]: the problem with that is that people can't drive now on the road.
[SPEAKER_04]: So I have a distinct feeling we had flying cars.
[SPEAKER_04]: You would have people like, you know, lodging their cars in barns and in, you know, upper floors of apartment buildings.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I'm like, you know, way most scare me.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_11]: In fact, there was a way
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_11]: And Trish, both sent Lonnie a thing where there was a waymo that went crazy.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think here on a golf course.
[SPEAKER_04]: Just decided to go cross the golf course cause.
[SPEAKER_11]: And then there's cops that pulled over a waymo because it made an illegal you turn right and they didn't I saw that story.
[SPEAKER_11]: Nobody was even in the car.
[SPEAKER_11]: It was just a waymo.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: So who do we give the ticket to?
[SPEAKER_04]: I suppose that probably one of the few good things that way.
[SPEAKER_04]: I didn't do it man.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, you see that you see the cop coming and you just turn on the auto drive and you get into the the passenger side seat.
[SPEAKER_04]: The cop stops and you're like,
[SPEAKER_04]: One minute man, blame the computer man, one me.
[SPEAKER_11]: But I mean, it's like, who do you, like, with a way-mo in particular, because that's more like an Uber kind of thing, because we don't own them like a Tesla that has the auto drive, because if you own the Tesla, that's on you.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's just on you.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I suppose that's true.
[SPEAKER_11]: Uh, by the way, Mo is like a taxi, basically.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: So to me, you give it to the way Mo people.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, taxi service, like you would, yeah, that would, that would make sense to me.
[SPEAKER_04]: the future is a little bit weird.
[SPEAKER_04]: We all have to admit that the future is definitely a little bit weird and especially given the fact that the current is so absolutely infuriating in some ways.
[SPEAKER_04]: Trump's war on America, I mean he's trying to attack Chicago, trying to attack Portland, trying to attack other places, which
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, it's just, it's just stupid.
[SPEAKER_04]: His immigration attacks are still going on, by the way.
[SPEAKER_04]: Buddy lost a nice big one over the weekend.
[SPEAKER_04]: And in a major blow to the Trump administration plans, the first circuit federal appeals court ruled that his executive order ending birthright citizenship is unconstitution.
[SPEAKER_04]: Which, if you remember, this summer when Chris Guyner was here.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_04]: Great lawyer that he is over at law dork.
[SPEAKER_04]: He mentioned that fact.
[SPEAKER_04]: that this was going to be found in constitutional and sure enough it is it's it's nice when we win some of these and I really glad that we did I mean it's just kind of a good thing Supreme Court unfortunately gave a loss over the weekend on the shadow docket as well is letting the Trump administration revoked deportation protections for more than 300,000 Venezuela and migrants just yeah look if you're if you're wanting to know what the Supreme
[SPEAKER_04]: we've got in the third round of the news on tap today.
[SPEAKER_04]: You can take a look.
[SPEAKER_04]: There are five issues.
[SPEAKER_04]: You'll probably be watching a Supreme Court kicks off its term.
[SPEAKER_04]: They're going to have to deal with some of this stuff.
[SPEAKER_04]: they're gonna have to deal with some, especially like, I would not be surprised if Trump tries to take this case where he would just smack down twice out in Portland, take that up.
[SPEAKER_04]: I can put the National Guard where I want to know you can.
[SPEAKER_04]: On top of which, these National Guard troops that he's sending from wherever he's sending them, none of them are getting paid.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, not now, especially.
[SPEAKER_04]: right because of the shutdown.
[SPEAKER_04]: So think about it.
[SPEAKER_04]: Let's say you have your own business.
[SPEAKER_04]: You're in Texas, you believe in freedom and the right to do what you want.
[SPEAKER_04]: So you have your own business, but you know, you also believe in the country.
[SPEAKER_04]: So you're in the National Guard.
[SPEAKER_04]: And then Donald Trump decides to tell you that you have to temporarily close your business.
[SPEAKER_04]: So that he can grab you and send you unpaid somewhere where you're going to have to sleep on a floor at best.
[SPEAKER_04]: At best.
[SPEAKER_04]: uh... for thirty days inside the united states twenty nine days actually because he doesn't want to make sure to actually get you the bonus pay that you get if you were getting paid at all but no you're not gonna get paid and because of people like christian home and steven miller when you go to these places like they didn't shicago uh... the local businesses will shut their doors to you they don't want you for lunch they don't want you using their bathrooms they don't want you there at all so you're going to somewhere else the united states
[SPEAKER_04]: being treated like a complete foreigner and outsider.
[SPEAKER_04]: Nobody likes you.
[SPEAKER_04]: You're not getting paid.
[SPEAKER_04]: You're losing money from your own business.
[SPEAKER_04]: And this is all because Donald can't take no for an answer.
[SPEAKER_11]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: And these poor people, I mean, you know, go for it.
[SPEAKER_11]: God bless them.
[SPEAKER_11]: These poor people, I'm a, the National Guard, they, they volunteer for this.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's usually a weekend or two a month tops, right.
[SPEAKER_11]: And they, unless there's a problem in your state, you're never called up.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right, the National Guard, National Guard is not like some people are misconstruing this and saying the National Guard folks are like ice.
[SPEAKER_04]: First of all, National Guard troops are trained, but they're not necessarily trained all of them in the military.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, you get people like Governor Walls who was in the guard, who was trained on, but he was trained on munitions.
[SPEAKER_04]: He was trained on ways that governments can shoot longer range weapons.
[SPEAKER_04]: I yeah, believe W was at one time.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, there was that hole incident where he didn't show up was a wall of initiative and you know right and then they got mad about that and right.
[SPEAKER_04]: They're a whole thing But but the facts of matter is is that I mean you've had a lot of a lot of people in members of Congress You know a lot of people have been involved in the actual guard, but they are not
[SPEAKER_04]: the you know that they're not like the ice monsters right that they're not out there you know that they're they're not seals they're not trained and you'll go kill and whatever right you're you're trained to do a specific thing right like so friend of a friend
[SPEAKER_04]: Had a, this second level friend, I guess you could call it, was in the military and somebody convinced him said, Oh, well, well, you should go be.
[SPEAKER_04]: uh... in in the group of a camera which branch of military was in and there's different names for but this is the group that basically drives trucks okay all the news all the news drive trucks there they are taught how to to drive certain vehicles some of them are taught how to drive vehicles in a uh... almost like a race driver kind of a way that teamsters but basically yeah
[SPEAKER_04]: And he said, well, I want to do that because he said, I don't want to be anywhere near the military stuff, which I laugh at because that that's the oftentimes the people who are in some of the the heat of it in the truck drivers because you got to get the equipment here and there and that's the fact what he was so he was sent to like different hot so it's all over the place and that's what my friends said and he said,
[SPEAKER_04]: There's like, oh my god, whatever.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, but but the long in the short was, yes, he had some weapons training, but mostly he was just he was a truck driver.
[SPEAKER_04]: He was a well trained trucker who could do amazing things behind the wheel, but he was not trained as a militia man.
[SPEAKER_04]: He was not trained as an infantryman.
[SPEAKER_04]: He was not trained like a seal.
[SPEAKER_04]: He was trained to drive trucks.
[SPEAKER_04]: People forget that a lot of folks who are in the military when when you're trained on your specialty.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's your specialty.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's what you do.
[SPEAKER_04]: The military people, regardless of whether if they are active duty, reserveous, national guard, you have what's called your MOS, that's your specialty, that's the thing that you do.
[SPEAKER_04]: They're not all interchangeable.
[SPEAKER_04]: You can't take, you know, this person here and move them over here and because, well, they're military, we can just trade all the cards because they're all interchangeable.
[SPEAKER_04]: They all, and we all have basic trading that's the same.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's why it's called basic trading.
[SPEAKER_04]: But beyond basic trading, right?
[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: But beyond that, you have A schools, you have all kinds of secondary learning and secondary education.
[SPEAKER_04]: there's there's tons of different training that's involved.
[SPEAKER_04]: So you can't just swap these people out.
[SPEAKER_04]: So people say, oh, well, they're sending the national guard.
[SPEAKER_04]: They're like ice.
[SPEAKER_04]: National guard ice two different things.
[SPEAKER_10]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_04]: And right now, especially if you get national guardsmen who are trained as infantrymen and some are, um, they are so much better trained than the ice monsters, because ice has lowered its threshold for who they're allowing in.
[SPEAKER_04]: Ice is basically picking up
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, pretty much.
[SPEAKER_04]: If you're under 40, if you can kind of do some of the physical stuff, I mean, it's just ridiculous.
[SPEAKER_04]: And it's, it's embarrassing.
[SPEAKER_04]: It should be embarrassing for people who, look, I'm not a fan of ice, but for those people who are, it should be embarrassing to them that they're letting all these unqualified people use.
[SPEAKER_04]: And these people don't, they don't know the laws.
[SPEAKER_04]: They don't know the rules.
[SPEAKER_11]: Don't care either.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right, but you should care because while they we mentioned this earlier.
[SPEAKER_04]: So for those of you missed it, um, in Chicago over the weekend, I was shooting tear gas at Chicago police department and some of the neighbors in in some of these neighborhoods actually came out to try to help CPD.
[SPEAKER_04]: get away from the ice monsters, which is completely inverted from how anything should be.
[SPEAKER_04]: The public at large should not be protecting the police from the federal forces.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, absolutely just unreal.
[SPEAKER_04]: But the bigger thing that I noticed and that I kept pointing
[SPEAKER_04]: So reporters who were there at Chicago were saying that and some of them are out there important.
[SPEAKER_04]: We're saying that a lot of this what they were doing.
[SPEAKER_04]: It didn't appear like the ice monsters were actually trying to do anything serious.
[SPEAKER_04]: They were trying to make it look like they were doing something serious.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's for show guys, it's for show, it's for camera, it's for, yeah, it's for be roll.
[SPEAKER_04]: So they can take that and give that to Fox and they can say, see, there's a reason we got these big mean people here, which is just, it's absurd to me because I'm like, that's, that's not how this works.
[SPEAKER_11]: It shouldn't.
[SPEAKER_04]: It shouldn't, but obviously it's, that's how it is.
[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, speaking of somebody who knows how it is, it is,
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: How's your weekend, man?
[SPEAKER_06]: My weekend was alright.
[SPEAKER_06]: I did a lot of, lots of movies and TV shows.
[SPEAKER_04]: Did you see the new Taylor Swift video?
[SPEAKER_04]: I did not.
[SPEAKER_04]: You know what?
[SPEAKER_04]: Did you have the new Taylor Swift album?
[SPEAKER_06]: Now, look, I've given Taylor Swift many tries to get me going, and I like the thing she did to shake it off thing, that was fun, but one of my former co-workers was love Taylor Swift says, all right, let me give her a listen, and I listen, I'm the kind of guy.
[SPEAKER_06]: who, like, I'm old school, right?
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't like the whole streaming mentality, like, I don't believe in just download one song.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't want to download one song, but, you know what?
[SPEAKER_06]: But that's so back in the day, when I was, I started buying albums when I was little.
[SPEAKER_06]: When I was like, eight, nine years old, I went to the records store and I said, can I get that?
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, I started buying 45s, I started buying singles.
[SPEAKER_04]: So I don't necessarily mind buying the string.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think for me is the thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: Because I'm like, the streaming thing, I'm like, you don't even own it.
[SPEAKER_04]: I had a friend.
[SPEAKER_04]: She had like a catalog of streaming music.
[SPEAKER_04]: She'd collected for like, I don't know, 15 years.
[SPEAKER_04]: And she said, well, they changed something and I lost it on.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I'm like, and that's why you don't string.
[SPEAKER_04]: Just like, ha.
[SPEAKER_06]: Cho, he's like, so yeah, long story short.
[SPEAKER_06]: I haven't gotten bitten by the Taylor Swift bug.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, he didn't even know.
[SPEAKER_11]: She didn't even talk in memory about her.
[SPEAKER_11]: And then you will be bitten.
[SPEAKER_04]: There you go, exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: We'll talk more about music, entertainment, little sports, and of course politics.
[SPEAKER_04]: Because Brooklyn Dad Defiant is in the house.
[SPEAKER_04]: It is a Monday night.
[SPEAKER_04]: Look, we got him here, freshing his drink, come right back, all right?
[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Monday night here at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know what that dance is you're doing BDD, but if you guys are dancing, that is fine.
[SPEAKER_04]: Regardless, Jody and BDD are trying to get me to break.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not breaking.
[SPEAKER_04]: Trust me guys.
[SPEAKER_11]: My cat tried it earlier.
[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: I suck it, but and I still didn't break you as far as I can.
[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you by the way for calling in getting all of us in whatever direction you guys do Whether you're getting all of us on blue sky or on sub-stack Facebook Instagram a threads or Twitter We are there at the politics bar and remember you can always call us on the bar line 2136777258 2136777258 that's 213677 salt like in your margarito Maybe you know something you cook in there?
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know what you're doing while you're listening to us in your house.
[SPEAKER_04]: We're just glad you're hanging out with us here at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_04]: Like Brooklyn Dad Define is, you were obviously doing some cooking and some watching at movies over the weekend and you were saying that you saw the running man again, the old one with the Arnold Schwarzenegger and Richard Dawson over the weekend.
[SPEAKER_04]: Get through the chopper!
[SPEAKER_04]: You were saying that it changed your perspective a little bit now being a little bit older and focused on other things.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: So like when I first watched it, I wasn't, I was only peripherally involved in politics.
[SPEAKER_04]: I was like, how old were you when you first saw it?
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_06]: It was probably because I was probably, now it's just probably like the,
[SPEAKER_06]: the late 80s or early 90s, okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: So I was in my, like, early 20s.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: And so, you know, my involvement in politics was like, Oh, David Dinkens is going to be the first black mayor of New York.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm this that was my first vote.
[SPEAKER_06]: Actually, my first vote cast was.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: And then I was aware of presidential elections, you know, that was it.
[SPEAKER_06]: I wasn't, I was completely unaware of your world, you know, I didn't know anything.
[SPEAKER_06]: And especially this was long before I think Fox News became what Fox News was.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, then when I watched this, I,
[SPEAKER_06]: It's like, it's just weekend.
[SPEAKER_06]: I was like, I watched it with brand new eyes.
[SPEAKER_06]: I was like, oh, snap, this is what they were trying to tell us.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know what, have you, have you seen that road before?
[SPEAKER_06]: No, what's that?
[SPEAKER_04]: Have you seen the movie network?
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh yeah, yeah, I'm mad as hell, and I'm not gonna take it anymore.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, that's right.
[SPEAKER_06]: So Richard Dawson played this guy in the running man who was awful.
[SPEAKER_06]: Rolling Tansen purposes, he was the celebrity star of this reality game show in which prisoners had to basically run for their lives and had to stay alive.
[SPEAKER_06]: And they had this, do you guys remember the American gladiators show?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, where they had to go through all these kind of courses, a gauntlet of things.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: So basically that was, that was the same thing.
[SPEAKER_06]: I said, this was deadly.
[SPEAKER_06]: They had, you know, they had guys coming after them with electricity and sharpened hockey sticks.
[SPEAKER_06]: The overall story that was being sold to the public was that Arnold Schwarzenegger's character was the butcher of Bakersfield and they sold the story that first they showed us the audience, the real story in the very beginning of the movie where they show he's being directed to carry out
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, action plan alpha and he's like, but the whole, but the, the crowd is unarmed.
[SPEAKER_06]: He's sort of even the children.
[SPEAKER_06]: I would not fire upon the, you know, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that
[SPEAKER_06]: So he refused to follow orders because it was an unlawful order, right?
[SPEAKER_06]: And by the time he was, he got knocked, they knocked him out on the, on the plane, and they actually did carry out that, that killing, that massacre, they fired on, unarmed people online for food.
[SPEAKER_06]: Right.
[SPEAKER_06]: And so then they propagandized it and they put the blame on him.
[SPEAKER_06]: Of course.
[SPEAKER_06]: They called him the baker of butchers field.
[SPEAKER_06]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: So, um, butchers field, not the baker of butchers field, but that's fine.
[SPEAKER_06]: There's a very different.
[SPEAKER_06]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_11]: The baker of butchers field is a nice guy.
[SPEAKER_11]: The baker's field though on the other hand.
[SPEAKER_04]: I have heard you reference that he has nice bones.
[SPEAKER_04]: The baker.
[SPEAKER_04]: Sorry, I know, so the point of the point of the whole movie there, though, is is, you know, that things aren't always what they seem like, for example, Jody, you and I were talking earlier about that right wing propagandist out in Portland, so there was no protestors that were arrested in Portland over the weekend, not a single protestor, just this guy.
[SPEAKER_04]: But that guy, remind me who this guy actually is or Nick Sortre, yes, he is a, what a propagandist podcast.
[SPEAKER_06]: He is, yeah, he's a right wing, well, in the instance of Portland, he, you could call him a provocateur.
[SPEAKER_06]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_06]: He specifically went out there with the goal.
[SPEAKER_06]: And there's several other right wingers, as well, doing the same thing, all masked up,
[SPEAKER_06]: and trying to antagonize and instigate violence.
[SPEAKER_06]: Right.
[SPEAKER_06]: He failed, not only did he fail miserably, I'm pretty sure the dude was arrested.
[SPEAKER_06]: He was.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_06]: And he ditched about that.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't look.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's what we were talking about earlier.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's like these idiots.
[SPEAKER_04]: They don't seem to understand.
[SPEAKER_04]: They think that
[SPEAKER_04]: They think the rules apply to everybody else, but not to the thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: And so, of course, they think that they can dance around and do the things that they're calling everybody else that they're blaming everybody else for.
[SPEAKER_04]: And not get caught and not get penalized.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's really sad because if you're, if you're narrative,
[SPEAKER_06]: is that Portland is out of control, then, then let that play out.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, right.
[SPEAKER_06]: Don't try to, you know, manufacture that because now it looks bogus.
[SPEAKER_06]: And you've actually hurt your cause.
[SPEAKER_06]: You've hurt your narrative.
[SPEAKER_06]: So I hope that's the end result.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, the federal judge.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, yeah, who was blocked him twice twice and she was appointed by Trump by Trump.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, oh, yeah, oh, you know, oh, yeah, the full story for those of you who missed it, it is of the news on tap.
[SPEAKER_04]: I guess that's right there in the first round, first round under Trump to clear war in America in the subsection, Trump's failed war on Portland.
[SPEAKER_04]: So the Trump appointed federal judge.
[SPEAKER_04]: handed down two rulings over the weekend.
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, uh, trying to, let me, let me see if I can find it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Wasn't the last one of the like midnight last night?
[SPEAKER_04]: It was, it was, it was late.
[SPEAKER_04]: And, and it was long and short.
[SPEAKER_04]: It was because of the fact that, you know, look,
[SPEAKER_04]: The first time around, she told them, you know, there's no reason for this, there's been no violence, there's been no concern, no worry about this, and so she would not allow the National Guard from Oregon to go into Portland.
[SPEAKER_04]: the second time around it was less than 24 hours, the DOJ because, um, and it's really Steven Miller as, as, as, as he said, you know, you mean, yes exactly, Jody is right.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm a one not calling that because basically it was Miller who who said, uh, no, no, no, we're going to grab, um, National Guard's people from California and from Texas and we're going to send him there.
[SPEAKER_04]: So she hears this, she drags this back in the court, and she's like, hell no, abs, so freaking loosely not.
[SPEAKER_04]: Actually, we have, uh, there's a clip from JB Pritzker, when he was talking to Jake Tapper over there.
[SPEAKER_05]: about this specific judge you're left with this back up on the DVR here for this judge is a Trump appointed judge this judge it actually said what I think should be said about all of what Trump Donald Trump is doing which is it's unteathered from the facts that's what the judge said that what the government is doing what Trump is doing is unteathered from the facts
[SPEAKER_05]: That's the case.
[SPEAKER_05]: He was claiming that the, you know, it's mayhem on the grounds of on the streets of Portland.
[SPEAKER_05]: He's saying that, you know, Chicago is a war zone.
[SPEAKER_05]: None of that is true.
[SPEAKER_05]: They're just making this up.
[SPEAKER_05]: And then what do they do?
[SPEAKER_05]: They fire tear gas and smoke grenades.
[SPEAKER_05]: And they make it look like it's a war zone.
[SPEAKER_05]: And they, you know, get people on the ground are frankly incited to want to do something about it.
[SPEAKER_05]: A property, I mean, if you are on the ground and you're being having tear gas pellets fired at you as they have been doing in Broadview, Illinois, you know, you want to, you want to react, you want something to happen.
[SPEAKER_05]: And unfortunately, they're using every lever at their disposal to keep us from maintaining order.
[SPEAKER_05]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, this is so late 60's right now.
[SPEAKER_11]: This is so late 60's to me, what's happening?
[SPEAKER_06]: I got to say I'm very encouraged and just flabbergasted that a Trump judge, that gives me hope.
[SPEAKER_06]: That really gives me hope at a time when, look, I just before I jumped on with you guys, this is, I do this every week.
[SPEAKER_06]: I went to the kitchen to heat up my Java because I do that about 10 times a day.
[SPEAKER_06]: And, you know, and I just saw my wife asks me periodically throughout the day, you know, how's it going?
[SPEAKER_06]: And I was like, you know, it's another one of those days.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's like, what do you mean?
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm like, you know, all I'm exposed to, I'm steeped in lies being told differently.
[SPEAKER_06]: Like, you know,
[SPEAKER_06]: from Stephen Miller lies, uh, told at the volume of 11, you know, and screeched at you.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, and there's Kevin Hassett, is that his name?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_06]: That is correct.
[SPEAKER_04]: The economic advisor for Trump right.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know if you guys saw his videos, but he's, he's got this,
[SPEAKER_06]: Feecy's eating grin on his face, yes, he threw out the whole thing, and it's just, it's bizarre.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's almost like he was drugged and hypnotized or something, because he's kind of, he's kind of like Kevin Bacon's character in animal house.
[SPEAKER_04]: But in a little bit more sane way, you know.
[SPEAKER_04]: All is well.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: And that nearly is good looking.
[SPEAKER_06]: And then Caroline Levitt, Caroline Levitt, you know, she can realize her lies like she knows she's going to get pushed back.
[SPEAKER_06]: You could see her like, she doesn't really know that she's giving them.
[SPEAKER_04]: Does it on purpose?
[SPEAKER_04]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, she doesn't on purpose.
[SPEAKER_11]: The fact that the press has yet to burn her.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's that's that's that's why I don't think I think there must be something it's not a real gross because I'm like otherwise You know, it would just burn a hole right through her.
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean she's yeah, she's just reflecting the Pope and she's a Catholic
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's so weird.
[SPEAKER_04]: But see, and this is something I saw over the weekend from a couple different people, one of which I know is involved in religion journalism.
[SPEAKER_04]: Who said that one of the things that clearly the concave thought about is the rise of right-wing authoritarianism.
[SPEAKER_04]: and especially a lot of that rise in the right wing of authoritarianism in the Catholic Church is coming from the right wing Catholics who are here in the United States.
[SPEAKER_04]: And they don't think they kind of think that the Pope isn't really the leader of their church.
[SPEAKER_04]: They're like, ah, you know, he's just a jerk.
[SPEAKER_04]: And because they don't, they don't, which, you know, as John Fughal saying says, they're not really Christians.
[SPEAKER_04]: They don't, they, they fake it.
[SPEAKER_04]: They're, they're members of the fan club.
[SPEAKER_11]: No, Pope Bob is a Christian.
[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: And Pope Bob will another thing said over the weekend that, uh, you know, look, if you're a, if you're a good person that you should be trying to help these immigrants out because that's what Jesus would do.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's what Jesus would do.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: But, but people like Caroline, she, you know, she doesn't like, she doesn't like the Pope because
[SPEAKER_04]: is she has an ideology that overrides her, what should be where her faith is.
[SPEAKER_04]: And her ideology, that's what she worships.
[SPEAKER_04]: She doesn't actually worship Jesus or God.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, no, no, no.
[SPEAKER_04]: She worships her ideology.
[SPEAKER_04]: And her ideology pretty much is white Christian nationals with a death penalty cool, abortion not cool.
[SPEAKER_11]: So, right, not a Christian.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right, exactly, that is a shorter version of what Pope Bob said, Jenny.
[SPEAKER_11]: Basically, I mean, I've always said that.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm like, if you are a pro-life, then you should be anti-death penalty.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm completely anti-death penalty on all of them.
[SPEAKER_04]: You should be against guns.
[SPEAKER_04]: You should be in favor of assistance, food assistance, especially for this assistance, food and housing assistance for the poor.
[SPEAKER_04]: You mean, all of these things, if you're actually in favor of life,
[SPEAKER_06]: these are the things that you should prenatal care taken care of the modern war regnants in a very big time in some of the way you guys are presenting this that means that we we basically all should be pro-life
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, if that if those if those values are are considered pro-life, then I guess I'm pro-life, right?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: But look.
[SPEAKER_04]: But remember, remember, the whole term of pro-life is actually a misnomer to this because it comes it comes from, you know, look, if you can always tell this on something that says pro, because is there an anti?
[SPEAKER_04]: You can't be anti-life.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to have a life.
[SPEAKER_04]: Kill everything.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Then, right, you can be pro abortion rights, and you can be anti-abortion rights.
[SPEAKER_04]: But it was a sales con job that the right did back in the late 70s when they started to lose some of their other arguments.
[SPEAKER_04]: I believe John talks about that in his book as well, separation of church and hate.
[SPEAKER_04]: George H. W. Bush was pro choice.
[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: And that's that's just it.
[SPEAKER_04]: You can be anti choice.
[SPEAKER_04]: You can be against other people having choice.
[SPEAKER_11]: There you go, water.
[SPEAKER_04]: Crouch choice.
[SPEAKER_04]: Or you can be pro choice.
[SPEAKER_04]: Wow, but you can't be anti life.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: In theory, you can, but then you're also against your own existence.
[SPEAKER_06]: So, bro, Jeff.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, they are.
[SPEAKER_11]: They like the death penalty and they like guns.
[SPEAKER_04]: So, and war.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, exactly.

[SPEAKER_04]: I know that the Major League Baseball is going on.
[SPEAKER_04]: The WNBA Vegas Aces have got a 2-0 lead over the Phoenix Mercury, which I still think Minnesota got jobbed.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's just my thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: Whatever, look, the A and 950 listeners, y'all know what I'm talking about.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think I think the links got jobed.
[SPEAKER_04]: But, you know, do you have a favorite baseball team, BDD?
[SPEAKER_06]: In that that's I do and and who are they?
[SPEAKER_06]: They are the New York Yankees and I will say I will say this.
[SPEAKER_06]: beyond talking trash now.
[SPEAKER_06]: I feel like I feel like the baseball karma.
[SPEAKER_06]: The baseball karma.
[SPEAKER_06]: God's heard me when I was when I was telling Boston to suck it.
[SPEAKER_06]: And they said, Oh, really?
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm a you suck it.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's a shit.
[SPEAKER_11]: You're from Brooklyn.
[SPEAKER_06]: But the dodges haven't been in Brooklyn for decades.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I trust me.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I know if you go to South Florida, if you go to South Florida, they will disagree with you.
[SPEAKER_04]: You'd be like, you know, how the dodges are doing?
[SPEAKER_04]: And they'll be like, I won't care about the dodges until they go, Brent, they'll Brooklyn.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm like, I'm like, I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_04]: Didn't mean to ask that out of the deli, never mind.
[SPEAKER_06]: But back in the back of the day it what the the Dodgers were the foil for for the game.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, God.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: I got to see Reggie Jackson play in the four or five of the world series in 1977.
[SPEAKER_11]: Here it is.
[SPEAKER_06]: Was that the one when he jacked all those home runs?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, that was that game.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, wow.
[SPEAKER_11]: I was there and I was a Dodgers fan, but I'm like, well, it's Reggie Jackson.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm not gonna.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's a magic.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's amazing.
[SPEAKER_04]: There are certain exceptions.
[SPEAKER_04]: I have to admit I have friend who is a Toronto Blue Jays fan.
[SPEAKER_04]: So I'm happy for her that they are they're beating me Yankees.
[SPEAKER_04]: They're up on two games right now.
[SPEAKER_04]: And look the the Dodgers are just kicking ass.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm I hope that continues because we all like Jody to be happy.
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, that's a good thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: There is, there is some other entertainment names besides Taylor Swift.
[SPEAKER_04]: You know Bob Sask, a BDD, don't you?
[SPEAKER_04]: Of course.
[SPEAKER_04]: OK, do you know who Bob's favorite rock band is all time?
[SPEAKER_11]: It's a three-member band.
[SPEAKER_11]: They're from Canada.
[SPEAKER_11]: They did a lot of prog rock in the 70s and late 60s.
[SPEAKER_04]: One of their members is getting Lee.
[SPEAKER_04]: the other one with Neil Pert, he passed away the other one is now his life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's life's
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, I mean, she's got like Neil Pertt is like one of the penultimate drummers on the planet.
[SPEAKER_11]: And so she is going into something that is expected of her that is going to be insane.
[SPEAKER_11]: Because his drum kit was ginormous by the way.
[SPEAKER_11]: He had little baby drums all the way up to giant drums.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I'm sure he could have done the same sounds with like four, but you know, but she tried out for it.
[SPEAKER_04]: I bet.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I'm sure she did.
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, they wouldn't have hired her.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm sure she's better than every man that ever auditioned for that pants.
[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: Jimmy's a hundred percent right on that.
[SPEAKER_11]: His first impression is in Lady and secondly, a drummer.
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, unless you're Sheila E. or Karen Carpenter.
[SPEAKER_06]: Can I say something about that because that that kind of ties in with the whole I the whole misconception about D.E.
[SPEAKER_06]: I right this it's this belief that companies and and
[SPEAKER_06]: organizations, they want to hire less qualified people to fill some kind of racial quota.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_06]: And that is just not what the intention of DEI is.
[SPEAKER_06]: The intention is to make those jobs available for all to see and then step up and present yourself, present your resume.
[SPEAKER_06]: And if you
[SPEAKER_06]: you're going to pick the best of the best, but if you're only showing those jobs to a limited pool of candidates, that's not cool.
[SPEAKER_11]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: The whole thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: When people say DEI, I prefer to say diversity, equity, inclusion, and acceptance.
[SPEAKER_04]: These are the things accessibility, that's the other one.
[SPEAKER_04]: Because of the fact that people don't necessarily, they've written it off as a
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, oh, it's D.I.
[SPEAKER_04]: whatever it is, I don't know, we like diversity.
[SPEAKER_04]: Everybody likes diversity.
[SPEAKER_04]: We like having people of different races, different backgrounds, different genders, to different life experiences.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's how you get somebody like this great new drummer that what is your name again, Joe?
[SPEAKER_04]: Monica.
[SPEAKER_11]: Monica.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, who's going to be, who's going to be, who's going to be drumming for for for rush is just the fact that the way that most of us,
[SPEAKER_04]: The way that it's still the case, the number one way that people hear about other opportunities in their employment field is people that they know.
[SPEAKER_04]: And like it or not, we all tend to know people who are more like us in some ways than others.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's just a factor, whether it's economic, whether it's racial, whatever it is.
[SPEAKER_04]: what diversity equity inclusion opens up is it opens the opportunities for those jobs up to people who aren't necessarily in your circle.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, thank you.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, and it looks, I mean, you know, there are all kinds of different entertainment that we wouldn't
[SPEAKER_04]: My wife likes to watch some of these with little videos or whatever on YouTube or people do commentary, you know, some people like it, some people not, you know, whatever and some people are better making commentary than others.
[SPEAKER_04]: So like Brooklyn Dad.
[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: I believe you.
[SPEAKER_04]: You were going to be doing some of that these days.
[SPEAKER_04]: Am I in my correct on this one?
[SPEAKER_06]: You are correct.
[SPEAKER_06]: So I have already been doing a story time with BDD, which is basically a weekly roundup on Friday nights at 6 p.m.
[SPEAKER_06]: In which I just
[SPEAKER_06]: Eastern time in which I discuss, you know, the craziest and the most impactful, dramatic, insane things that happened over the past seven days, but something else that I also enjoy talking about immensely is movies and TV shows, right, and specifically
[SPEAKER_06]: movies and TV shows that we have watched already.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm one of those guys who likes to rewatch as we talked about earlier.
[SPEAKER_06]: I rewatch the rubbing man.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, so many years.
[SPEAKER_06]: And the reason for that is that we have so much content out there right now between Netflix and HBO and Showtime and all the different streaming platforms that Hulu and each of them have
[SPEAKER_06]: Um, movies that you have seen already, movies that you haven't seen already, and new movies that, you know, maybe do I want to take a chance on this or do I want to go as something that I know I've seen already, I've already enjoyed, and if I've already knowing that I've already seen it and enjoyed it, if I happen to be scrolling on my phone during this, I'm not really missing, so I get to have my baby to go.
[SPEAKER_04]: But if you've got somebody who's kind of helping guide you through it to helping you see it in a different way like you said you saw you know running man different now That you did when you were younger when you first saw it.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah, and it's a nice sometimes to have somebody with a different perspective points up and out that you're like Hey, you hadn't necessarily noticed that, but that's right
[SPEAKER_04]: I can't tell you how many people over the last week, um, uh, the shaving thing that they were all surprised.
[SPEAKER_04]: You remember, uh, we could go when Keg breath was like, oh, we're, you know, everyone's going to have to be a clean shave.
[SPEAKER_04]: There it goes.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, no.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's no fattows right and and and it's like dude that is a very racist thing for him because Because of the fact that the the whole thing where you got a CHIT a shit for not having not being able to shave in the military Was because statistically it is significantly more likely that African-American men have this was it called Fuliculitis Yeah, follicles can raise about
[SPEAKER_04]: Right, exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: And this can get infected and all of this.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I mentioned it.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I can't remember where there was huge out of here.
[SPEAKER_04]: One of our guests who was like, oh, it was great.
[SPEAKER_04]: You mentioned it.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I was like, well, I just thought it was important because, you know, I was in the military.
[SPEAKER_04]: I knew African-American men, then some of them who had the non-shaving shit.
[SPEAKER_04]: It was something in my experience that I'm like, oh, when I saw that immediately came to mine.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I knew that Kegbreath was doing that because it was a racist thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Because of my experience, I was able to add that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, after I mentioned that, I started hearing it from a number of people who were like, oh man, that is so racist and I'm like, well good.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm glad I'm glad you white people were pointing that out, too.
[SPEAKER_04]: And believe me, there are a lot of African-American people who are very, very glad that you're pointing it out, too.
[SPEAKER_06]: Dude, I thought you were kidding when you said racist.
[SPEAKER_06]: I honestly, I didn't, I didn't put it together, and then now that you explained it.
[SPEAKER_11]: And there was an exemption for men in the military that were African-American,
[SPEAKER_04]: it's a health issue right and and he wants to try to get rid of it of course that that he also wants to get rid of women yeah me duckworth has a thing or two to say about that
[SPEAKER_04]: And I'd like her to take off her leg and, you know, I know.
[SPEAKER_11]: Don't not.
[SPEAKER_11]: Sean Lee's.
[SPEAKER_11]: I just said, educate him.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm saying.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm just saying if she wants to plan or put somewhere.
[SPEAKER_04]: Sorry.
[SPEAKER_04]: She's way too.
[SPEAKER_11]: She has too much to
[SPEAKER_04]: uh... this is true this is true we we didn't we didn't mention well we'll have to mention this in the end if if you can stick around for for after hours of i got something else we will mention we were talking about how how uh... uh... steven miller was talking about political vile president miller uh... whoo jolly let's say
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't either, but if we keep calling in president Miller, maybe he'll be booted out because we're, remember, we're saying president Musk, he got booted out, let's just speak in a speaking of Tammy Duckworth in the booth exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: But look, go back to the diversity thing, diversity is important.
[SPEAKER_04]: So like this, you know, you're, you're going to take old shows and old movies and kind of run commentary on them at the same time that you're watching them.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: And you're going to give a different perspective.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Very cool.
[SPEAKER_06]: So I don't have a name for the show yet.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm still I'm still developing it right now, but I'm very excited about it because it is something that I I could talk about TV shows and movies for hours literally new perspectives with BDD.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's a potential title.
[SPEAKER_04]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_04]: But look, I mean, yeah, we honestly would get, you know, when you were on last week with Joe by the way, who we're going to have, Joe Joe from Jersey is going to be high.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's great.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: So look, I love the fact that we all kind of, you're crossing over and, you know, we try to promote the things that our friends are doing like that because, you know, there are friends.
[SPEAKER_04]: We want you guys to succeed too.
[SPEAKER_04]: So that's it.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, no, we're going to be fun.
[SPEAKER_04]: It'll be something else fun besides, you know, people already watching what they do on Friday night with you at 6 p.m.
[SPEAKER_04]: Eastern and then, of course, they subscribe to your sub stack defined dispatches, which I think you're going to have a new one out here tomorrow the next day, maybe.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, yes, the one that I think that the last one I did was President Titford Cat.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yep, exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: And that is exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, we can mention that a little bit more any after hours as we're cleaning up.
[SPEAKER_04]: We can do that.
[SPEAKER_04]: If you don't know the after hours, you can listen to it for free at the politics bar dot com.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's where we take some things a little bit further off air.
[SPEAKER_04]: And maybe we can say things there that we can't necessarily say.
[SPEAKER_11]: We cannot speak in swear on the after hours.
[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: So look, you guys can listen to us there at the politics margin.
[SPEAKER_04]: Come tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_04]: Tomorrow.
