[SPEAKER_07]: It's political.
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you, ridicule.
[SPEAKER_00]: You think it's a part where we won the politics march.
[SPEAKER_07]: Shotsmith, Pearson, Jody, Hamilton.
[SPEAKER_04]: Shuddy!
[SPEAKER_04]: Sean?
[SPEAKER_04]: How you doing, girl?
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm okay with kitty.
[SPEAKER_04]: You have a little cute kitty sitting in your lap.
[SPEAKER_04]: Which is good!
[SPEAKER_04]: We allow kitties, we allow puppies.
[SPEAKER_04]: We allow small human beings if they don't curse.
[SPEAKER_04]: And if they do, well,
[SPEAKER_06]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, it is a little rude, but we are going to have rude in the bar today.
[SPEAKER_04]: We'll be here and Jared Rizzi is coming.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yay.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, this is a good group of people hanging with us today, including your folks hanging with us from wherever you happen to be coming in.
[SPEAKER_04]: Whether that is WCPT AM at 820 in Chicago.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's a little bit cold there.
[SPEAKER_04]: Sorry.
[SPEAKER_04]: And what you're hanging out in Georgia now, radio.
[SPEAKER_04]: Look, it's cold down on the ATL as well.
[SPEAKER_04]: D2 were talking to Tennessee.
[SPEAKER_04]: You got chills there and AM850.
[SPEAKER_04]: Many Apple St. Paul, you are cold there.
[SPEAKER_04]: Or maybe you're listening somewhere else.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's actually kind of chilly in a lot of the U.S. Seattle, Northern California, whatever.
[SPEAKER_04]: So, but thank you if you're listening also on progressive voices, radio, or you're one of those magical future people listening on the podcast.
[SPEAKER_06]: we love you guys.
[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: We love all y'all.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's great.
[SPEAKER_04]: Now I realize yesterday, I was a little worked up and I'm still a little worked up today because obviously, I mean, you know, this is
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I'll just I'll say this right off the bat.
[SPEAKER_04]: So Shannon over on an Instagram.
[SPEAKER_04]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_04]: She was like she says literally she's she's here in the bars over there.
[SPEAKER_04]: She says Oh my god Sean is justifiably matter than I've ever seen him and I just told her I said look Yeah, I was that bad yesterday.
[SPEAKER_04]: I still him by the way.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's not just a line from a Marvel movie When somebody says to me and my wife does occasionally she's like God you're mad all the time
[SPEAKER_04]: kind of like the Hulk.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I'm like, mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's, yeah, I'm, but.
[SPEAKER_04]: But if you look around at all of the crap that's going on, that didn't have to go on because people could have stood in thought, people could have gotten off their asses.
[SPEAKER_04]: People could have voted for the black woman.
[SPEAKER_04]: And none of these bad crap would have been happening.
[SPEAKER_04]: So you probably understand why I'm a little bit pissed.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I guarantee U.S. Francis and Angela of Angela, you ask them, ask them if they are angry all the time.
[SPEAKER_04]: They will tell you they are angry all the time, justifiably so for the same reason.
[SPEAKER_04]: So yeah, I was angry.
[SPEAKER_04]: And look, there are a few things that make me more angry than betrayal by the people who are in your family, in your friends, those you trust, those in your political party that you trust.
[UNKNOWN]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Especially, it pisses me off when that kind of betrayal.
[SPEAKER_04]: Crap's on the work of other people who did work so hard.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_04]: This is something I know you know very well, Jodie, because this is endemic.
[SPEAKER_04]: If you've worked in entertainment, if you've been in entertainment, help if you've done a high school play, you will understand this if you're sitting in the bar.
[SPEAKER_04]: You work rest or you're on a team.
[SPEAKER_04]: You're just more just eating.
[SPEAKER_04]: Football team, you're on a basketball team, you're on a baseball team, you're on a soccer team.
[SPEAKER_04]: You bust your ass.
[SPEAKER_04]: You work really hard.
[SPEAKER_04]: You guys get to the semi finals.
[SPEAKER_04]: You're kicking ass.
[SPEAKER_04]: The show's coming in.
[SPEAKER_04]: The people are coming in.
[SPEAKER_04]: thoughtlessly, stupidly, does something really bad and it f's things up for everybody.
[SPEAKER_04]: Am I wrong?
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, that's not, no, it's accurate.
[SPEAKER_06]: I think that, I mean, we were talking about that on Bob's show today.
[SPEAKER_06]: And this is his happy, crappy thing, saying, well, there's no guarantee that the house will pass this.
[SPEAKER_06]: And if they don't pass it, then the denser life
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, and then the Dems, you know, go, hey, we tried.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's when you go, wait, hold the phone.
[SPEAKER_06]: Because my John's is saying he's not going to bring, he's not saying it at this point that he's not going to bring the ACA changes to the floor.
[SPEAKER_06]: He's not going to bring it to the floor.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: He is he is specifically not saying that he will bring the vote for the ACA subsidy enhancements to the floor.
[SPEAKER_06]: In what three weeks is what Thun is suggesting?
[SPEAKER_04]: Well Thun is saying that the Senate will the Senate will actually hold a vote in.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't like food for a whole lot of reasons, but at least on that, I do think he's an honest broker.
[SPEAKER_04]: I do think he says he's going to have it before the end of the second week.
[SPEAKER_04]: I believe.
[SPEAKER_04]: I find a way to, you know, find a way to cram it in because that's just, that's how that's how food is.
[SPEAKER_04]: It is on his checklist to do by the end of the second week in December, he will check that box.
[SPEAKER_04]: It will be done.
[SPEAKER_06]: So that makes them look like they were honest brokers.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, but more importantly, it makes Thoon look like he's an honest broker.
[SPEAKER_04]: It also makes Thoon look better than Schumer, because Thoon will be able to control his caucus and get that vote, whereas Schumer, well, I mean, he'll get the vote.
[SPEAKER_06]: It'll be voted down, but he'll get the vote.
[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, he promised to vote.
[SPEAKER_04]: He didn't promise a successful vote.
[SPEAKER_04]: He just promised to vote.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Schumer, on the other hand, the stories that keep coming out, and there are, they're coming from different,
[SPEAKER_04]: Sorry, it frustrates me.
[SPEAKER_04]: You guys can look in the news on tap today.
[SPEAKER_04]: There is some stuff obviously.
[SPEAKER_04]: We have the first round, which is the winding down the Republican shutdown section and the second round, still cleaning up the cave in.
[SPEAKER_04]: They're both related.
[SPEAKER_04]: There were a couple of stories you and I had and I didn't stick them in there because they were from different directions and you can tell sometimes when somebody in the DC area of the bar is leaking something.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: And it is clear that Schumer's people are trying to clean up his mess and cover his ass.
[SPEAKER_04]: And it's also clear that the folks that surround the Trader caucus are also trying to clean up their mess.
[SPEAKER_04]: And there's, well, we informed Schumer, well, he knew, but he didn't know, but he didn't know.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: But.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, the reporting that I read was that Schumer did at least hold them off for the two weeks so that the election would happen and the subsidy debacle would be out there.
[SPEAKER_06]: So if that is true, okay, at least he held them off for two weeks.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, that's a more basic thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's a what in football is known as block and tackle.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Very, very simple for those of you who don't understand block and tackle the opposing person to someone on the other team has the ball.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: You tackle them.
[SPEAKER_04]: This is, this is not rocket science.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's how the game works.
[SPEAKER_04]: So Schumer was saying, if you're going to try something like this.
[SPEAKER_04]: You damn well, but are not doing before the election because if this had happened before the election that would have been a debacle you would have seen democrats all over the country immediately say you're number one and not with their pointy finger and they would have refused they would have suddenly you would had nobody at the polls it would have collapsed.
[SPEAKER_04]: You got a lot of Democrats out there who are pissed.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, not just me, Shannon.
[SPEAKER_04]: A lot of people around here in the bar and around the country are pissed off at those trader terms.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I'm still seeing which doesn't surprise me in the mainstream media.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, it was Democrats.
[SPEAKER_06]: Now it's the Republicans that did the A.
[SPEAKER_06]: It was seven Democrats, and like Stephanie argued federalman doesn't really count, um, uh, he's, he's, look, I still, I still chalked that up to his day and branch.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, brain damage from the stroke, which, look, it happens.
[SPEAKER_06]: I guess you have to have day and branch to, uh,
[SPEAKER_06]: support Donald.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, I'm, but.
[SPEAKER_04]: Jodie is right.
[SPEAKER_06]: He, so let's, let's be, okay, say, seven Democrats.
[SPEAKER_06]: Fetterman was voting with the GOP this entire time.
[SPEAKER_06]: So that wasn't a surprise.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I think King who was voting with them too, a couple of times.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I was going to say, King did a couple of times, too.
[SPEAKER_04]: So I'm not, I'm not, you know, they weren't surprised votes.
[SPEAKER_04]: It was the other, the other, it's one of the reasons that some people in
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I know.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's, look, you act like a dingus.
[SPEAKER_04]: You can be called a dingus.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's just how that goes.
[SPEAKER_06]: So.
[SPEAKER_06]: His argument about it, about the shutdown giving Donald more power, no, ending it the way you guys ended it, gives him more power to threaten starving people again, to get what he wants done.
[SPEAKER_04]: A lot of what people don't realize is a lot of politics is about framing and messaging.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's why the media is such a big part of politics these days.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's why even going back to the start of the Republic that the media has been more of a factor in American politics than in a lot of other political systems around the world.
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, we started with hand bills and people were like, wait a minute, what, you're actually campaigning door to door.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, people did not actually do that in other places, but that's an American thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: So if you've seen Hamilton, you should know that already.
[SPEAKER_04]: But the whole point is, uh, yes, it's a messaging war.
[SPEAKER_04]: And yes, we're absolutely pissed at the Trader Dems and you should be pissed at the people who are trying to cover for them and say, oh, we never would have won.
[SPEAKER_04]: You don't know that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: I hate the people who do that, they bother me, the most of all the people who are in our caucus, who are writing our democratic, our broad left-leaning bus, is the people who play E-or.
[SPEAKER_04]: You know what I'm talking about when I say E-or?
[SPEAKER_09]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, not everybody does.
[SPEAKER_04]: E-or, the donkey friend of Winnie the Pooh, remember E-or, the one who's always everything sucks, and we're never gonna win.
[SPEAKER_04]: And it's all bad.
[SPEAKER_06]: He was always sad for E-or.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, and you're like, dude, it's your birthday.
[SPEAKER_04]: You just won the power ball.
[SPEAKER_04]: You have every single person that you love hanging out with you and everything that you could want.
[SPEAKER_04]: And they go, yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: But it's only 72 and I really wanted to be 75.
[SPEAKER_04]: Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
[SPEAKER_04]: You just make makes you wanna reach out sometimes and be like, shut up, seriously.
[SPEAKER_04]: Get hold of yourself, man.
[SPEAKER_04]: Come on, snap out of it.
[SPEAKER_04]: But there are yours more of them I think on our side than on the other side.
[SPEAKER_04]: And they do say, well, you know, we never would have gotten this.
[SPEAKER_04]: What do we say?
[SPEAKER_04]: But what do we do?
[SPEAKER_04]: What was a Elizabeth Warren's phrase?
[SPEAKER_04]: You don't get what you don't fight for?
[SPEAKER_06]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's like what I say when you want to win the lottery.
[SPEAKER_06]: You got to buy a ticket first.
[SPEAKER_04]: Joe, he's right.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, I mean, the thing is as though like we have now figured out or been informed on what the agreements are besides the whole being able to sue.
[SPEAKER_06]: if you were investigated.
[SPEAKER_06]: But regardless of that, which they're going to lose those losses if they even bother a file them.
[SPEAKER_06]: But yeah, it's just ridiculous.
[SPEAKER_06]: And the thing is is that we've got the promise, at least by the Senate, to do a vote in a few weeks, for the case.
[SPEAKER_06]: Then tiny Johnson, but then everything else is only good through January, except for SNAP benefits, which Donald's going to try to steal again anyway.
[SPEAKER_04]: now benefits in military building right because he did when they cut stuff this last year already they made the biggest snap cuts in history.
[SPEAKER_04]: Big ugly bill.
[SPEAKER_06]: So he's going to want to steal that money and give it to the stupid ballroom or something.
[SPEAKER_06]: But in January this is going to start all over again which is I think what was stupid about the republics can's agreeing to such a short timeline.
[SPEAKER_06]: Why didn't they just agree until next November?
[SPEAKER_06]: Well they can no agree past September because of
[SPEAKER_04]: But as they've got, we've talked about this before, remember.
[SPEAKER_04]: The problem lies with the fact that Johnson has at least 50 people.
[SPEAKER_04]: Tiny Johnson has at least 50 people in his caucus who say, F the poor, they can starve.
[SPEAKER_04]: Who say, I don't care if the TSA agents and the air traffic controllers get paid, F them shut up and go to work.
[SPEAKER_04]: Take care of me.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, that's Donald, too.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's who these people are in his caucus.
[SPEAKER_04]: And he has to get them to agree to some kind of bill.
[SPEAKER_04]: So they're like, well, fine.
[SPEAKER_04]: We'll get you past the holidays.
[SPEAKER_04]: You people find you whatever.
[SPEAKER_06]: They could still vote it down.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, match might vote it down now because the ACA stuff hasn't been fixed.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, they only need the Democrats only need a few people for the Republicans to say no.
[SPEAKER_04]: exactly this this this is far from done yet folks so y'all best get them congressional numbers up we will we will give those congressional numbers out later this evening because look you don't get what you don't fight for right so and we are in the fight because that's what we do here we're fighters not folders here to politics bar all right jota you and i have
[SPEAKER_04]: We've got Jared Rizzie coming in a little bit later.
[SPEAKER_04]: We've got a really good drink of the day.
[SPEAKER_04]: Happy Veterans Day by the way.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm a veteran and thank you for your good wishes on that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Veterans Day is happy and we will talk about that as well.
[SPEAKER_04]: So, refreshing up your drink.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's a Tuesday night here at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_04]: We got the root pond at coming in next.
[SPEAKER_04]: Hang on.
[SPEAKER_08]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_04]: Tuesday night here at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's two for Tuesday.
[SPEAKER_04]: Why?
[SPEAKER_04]: Because we got two guests tonight.
[SPEAKER_04]: Jared Rizzy coming in hour or two.
[SPEAKER_04]: But right now, the one the only root bond is coming in the bar.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, man.
[SPEAKER_04]: You've been a lot of places to talk to you last season.
[SPEAKER_04]: You were Europe, you know, performing for people.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I wasn't going to make on stage.
[SPEAKER_02]: I wasn't performing.
[SPEAKER_02]: I.
[SPEAKER_02]: I had a show that was that I wrote and directed.
[SPEAKER_02]: That was at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
[SPEAKER_04]: So how did that go?
[SPEAKER_02]: It went well.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was a great experience.
[SPEAKER_02]: I loved it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought about going back again this year because it was exhausting.
[SPEAKER_02]: I saw just with in addition to doing, you know, to being there and helping out with 20 plus performances of my own show, I saw 40 plus shows in the month I was in the three three and a half weeks of the festival around 24
[SPEAKER_02]: 24 days.
[SPEAKER_06]: So that's a lot of shows a day.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the most I think I ever did was not counting my own, not counting my own.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I once saw four in a day.
[SPEAKER_04]: But saw four other shows and did your show.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_06]: yes yes friend of my name the enus worth she's been there several times and she wrote a show the first show that she did that got there was called i miss communism and so it's a one woman it's a very good show because she lived in what used to be yoga slavia before it changed and so it's to play about that it's a very interesting it's a heart it's her story and it's it's one it's a wonderful show
[SPEAKER_04]: Nice.
[SPEAKER_02]: That sounds fun.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Look, it's good when you have a good group of people to hang with friends, you know, that you tried.
[SPEAKER_02]: I did.
[SPEAKER_02]: There were two actors in the show.
[SPEAKER_02]: Both of them.
[SPEAKER_02]: They were terrific.
[SPEAKER_02]: Both are actors in London.
[SPEAKER_02]: But they're Americans living in London.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's a play that takes place in Nashville.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, but they were both terrific.
[SPEAKER_06]: You're going to have British actors come to Tennessee to do it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think so.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think so, but Catherine Miesus and Bizzline just to give them a shout out.
[SPEAKER_02]: Nice.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just amazing people.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it was actually, we never got sick of each other.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, that's nice.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, we, you know, we lived together for nearly a month in a, in the dorms of the University of Edinburgh, we had our own, we had our own apartment and nice room.
[SPEAKER_02]: But, and it was all to ourselves, but it was a, it was in the dorms.
[SPEAKER_04]: Wow, definitely, that, that, that's definitely not like the old fashioned dorm living.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, that's, that's a, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
[SPEAKER_02]: Man, it's not who knows where to go.
[SPEAKER_02]: Who knows, it's not.
[SPEAKER_04]: Over 80s.
[SPEAKER_04]: And the 90s.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: That now.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, you know, that that is actually a perfect leading.
[SPEAKER_04]: Because we are going to talk about the the trader Dems who did kind of f their solos.
[SPEAKER_04]: I pretty much the rest of us as well.
[SPEAKER_04]: God, I know you've been keeping up on this whole thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: Look, I've mentioned this before on the show many times.
[SPEAKER_04]: I've mentioned it elsewhere.
[SPEAKER_04]: I can't remember if I mentioned it where you've been around, rude, but I've said before that for all of us who work, who comment, who publish in the National Political Media, it is as though we work in a metaphorical single office building.
[SPEAKER_04]: And unfortunately, more often than we like, so many like Jake Tapper, or Katie Turner, will come over and take a gigantic turn on our desk.
[SPEAKER_04]: And then we spend a day, two days, three days, a week, two weeks, cleaning up this damn mess that they left and they're like, well, but I don't you know how important I think I am.
[SPEAKER_04]: And we're like, hey, jackass, you've just screwed this up for a whole bunch of people you realize everybody else in this corner of the office smells that do you understand what you just did and they get mad But don't you know how important I am and we're like no and this was the same thing with the trader dams who screwed everybody and then try to go but but I was doing the right thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no you are.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I wrote something where I said the if forced at gunpoint.
[SPEAKER_02]: to defend it.
[SPEAKER_02]: And the only thing I could think to say, it would be to say that the president in the United States is an effing psychopath.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he is surrounded by effing psychopaths.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's got six effing psychopaths on the Supreme Court, and a legislative branch that is run by effing psychopaths.
[SPEAKER_04]: I believe that that's a piece that we link to, I think, in the news on tap today.
[SPEAKER_04]: except not crappy.
[SPEAKER_04]: You are of course the root funded, but you know, we're in the name broadcast.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, so yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, so, but the idea of saying, look, you're never going to, you know, they, they, they were taking pleasure.
[SPEAKER_02]: in causing this much pain to, to even their own voters.
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's the psychosis of it, is that pain can be already right.
[SPEAKER_02]: That there was no way that Trump was enjoying the power that he had over whether or not people eat.
[SPEAKER_02]: The idea that you would go to the Supreme Court to ask to be allowed to continue to starve people means that you like what you're doing.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's one of those really like, what kind of monster are you seriously?
[SPEAKER_02]: What the hell, man?
[SPEAKER_02]: And you know, the Democrats had everything.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, honestly John Stewart did a really great job last night, just by the serating it.
[SPEAKER_02]: But you know, the other thing that he didn't that that he didn't point out and something that I get to is we were behind them.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we were ready.
[SPEAKER_02]: We were ready to defend them, we were ready, and a lot of people who were suffering were ready to say, hey, let's have this fight, we have to have it.
[SPEAKER_02]: And the idea that, and that we had the, the no kings protest that was so hugely successful and everybody coming together and going, wow, I'm not alone.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then the elections on last, last a week ago, just a week ago.
[SPEAKER_02]: And the fact that it was not just, I mean, I know we focus on Virginia and New Jersey and New York, but it was across the country.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was in a red state, too.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it was beautiful.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it was like, we have this moment going here and the Republicans were really falling back on their heels on this.
[SPEAKER_02]: And Trump was going to be a psycho, no matter what, because that's who he is, but he's never up for election again.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, supposedly.
[SPEAKER_06]: No matter what.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's never up for election again.
[SPEAKER_04]: He had so- Yeah, for election again.
[SPEAKER_02]: The Republicans in Congress, there was a chance to maybe get through to them and get through to their voters.
[SPEAKER_02]: and we just blew it and and then it depresses all of us who are ready to say they if they have said go to the barricades at this point we were so hyped up on our democratic winning stream now we had hell yeah we're going to go to the barricades for you exactly exactly we were just talking about that yeah I mean it's it's you know I first off we need to remember that it's one independent
[SPEAKER_06]: Technically seven Democrats, but as Ms. Miller said this morning, we can't count on John Federman.
[SPEAKER_06]: Right.
[SPEAKER_06]: He's no longer a Democrat.
[SPEAKER_04]: So a relative handful of Democrats.
[SPEAKER_06]: A very tinnitus, tinnitus, little number of people.
[SPEAKER_06]: So I'm not going to blame the entire caucus.
[SPEAKER_06]: We'll see what happens when the vote gets to the house, but I have a feeling hockey him is going to hold the caucus together.
[SPEAKER_06]: And might be able to coax a couple of Republicans devoted down, and then the Democrats and the Senate go, hey, look, we tried.
[SPEAKER_06]: Now they can walk away.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, in the Senate, they've already moved on to saying what the cost will be to get the Obamacare subsidies extended and they've said we want to tighten abortion restrictions.
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's not only the, uh, oh, what's his name's rule that that a whole bird rule.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, not the bird has a lot on abortion.
[SPEAKER_02]: The one on abortion.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, hi to amendment.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, the five amendment.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, that we want to to to to more rigorously enforce it.
[SPEAKER_02]: So that not only it's not federal money, but they want to say that if.
[SPEAKER_02]: If you use state funds, if the state provides funds for abortion care, then in some way that is tied to federal money because the federal government doesn't want money to stay any money, they don't want any money spent on anything, anything to do with abortion, essentially by any government.
[SPEAKER_06]: So states rights are out the door.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I'm always at the door for our stuff.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's very true.
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, like, you know, uh, you know, gun right in second class in a sentence and, you know, we can black and brown people second.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, no, they, they want states rights for that.
[SPEAKER_04]: But for actual civil rights and, you know, actual decent uses.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, they don't want any of that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, so there you go.
[SPEAKER_02]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the that that net they've already decided that's their price that they would not and and and already the the anti abortion groups have been coming out and saying yes, there's no way we could that that we would a we would support any extension of those ACA subsidies on even for a year if unless it had tighter anti abortion they're so polite.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah, I do have, it's, it's nothing it was in the news, but I have heard from a few people who say that the, the anti-abortion people have pretty much pushed past their limit, especially regarding with some of folks that are actually closer to Donnie, probably including Stephen Miller, who are like, look, y'all.
[SPEAKER_04]: We're not going to completely ban abortion.
[SPEAKER_04]: We're not going to make a six week national ban.
[SPEAKER_04]: We're not going to because of many things, including the political cost.
[SPEAKER_06]: So you all need to sit your asses down and shut up because I mean if they did that, you think that there's going to be a blue wave.
[SPEAKER_06]: in November of next year.
[SPEAKER_06]: That would just be insane.
[SPEAKER_04]: I have this.
[SPEAKER_04]: So when I produced for EWTN, I was filling in for a friend who used to produce for the the Bill Press show.
[SPEAKER_04]: But she went over and was their morning show producer, whatever.
[SPEAKER_04]: And her mom was sick.
[SPEAKER_04]: So I she asked me if I would fill in, I said, sure, I did.
[SPEAKER_04]: There were two people anti abortion people.
[SPEAKER_04]: They had them as guests.
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, I was whatever.
[SPEAKER_04]: I was helping out of friend.
[SPEAKER_04]: I didn't really, you know,
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, behind the scenes, he end is that an event, jellicle.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's the right wing Catholic radio.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, we're.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: The one they also do the TV, where you have the none who's been dead for like a decade.
[SPEAKER_04]: And they still.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, she just comes out there and scowls at you for an hour or more.
[SPEAKER_02]: The fight corpse just sits there.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a two until where you'll never masturbate again.
[SPEAKER_04]: Talk to Mike Johnson.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's correct.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's correct.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's correct.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's correct.
[SPEAKER_04]: hey look it's it's one of the reasons why I continue referred to him as tiny Johnson and I say the Republicans have an impotent tiny Johnson because he can't get a he's proved over the last eight weeks that he can't get anything done and then Republicans get mad when we point in life and say look at your impotent tiny Johnson but you look as when I do that you know that's up to you but so more of a lava layer Mike you're saying.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well played well played you get a day that one that's awful.
[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_04]: That was that EW to you.
[SPEAKER_04]: And they're they're these two anti-bortion guests there.
[SPEAKER_04]: And there is a split on their side because some of them understand where the in pinball terms.
[SPEAKER_04]: Everybody here remembers pinball.
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, you can go tilt you can go too far and some of the anti-bortion folks realize that they are at the edge of tilt.
[SPEAKER_04]: They have gone too far.
[SPEAKER_04]: And the argument between these two off of Mike, one was basically saying we're getting close to the edge and the other one was FU, we won't stop until no abortion anywhere.
[SPEAKER_04]: And that's the argument that is on that side of the house.
[SPEAKER_04]: And those are the people I am 100% sure who are pushing and saying fine, you guys want re-open the government, well we're going to have no abortion anywhere.
[SPEAKER_04]: And the other anti abortion people are like, I'm not on board with you on that.
[SPEAKER_04]: So there, there is some, that's just one of the many fractures that they have on their side.
[SPEAKER_04]: And Jody and I were talking about this earlier, read that the people on our side who are pretending to be like EOR.
[SPEAKER_04]: Everything sucks.
[SPEAKER_04]: We're going to lose no matter what.
[SPEAKER_04]: They're the ones who are are capping for these trader dams, who are going, well, we weren't going to win anyway, so there's just no point in fighting.
[SPEAKER_04]: And those people make me want to screen.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, and and the other thing about that is one thing if there's anything that we should have learned from Republicans from the last, you know, two decades plus is that losing constantly as long as you keep hammering the issue.
[SPEAKER_02]: That is what rallies the base.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you keep on you keep on bringing it.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know I so yes, there were battles there were battles that were gonna lose because of the position We're in but if we keep say if we if we have the fight and we show we're having the fight Then losing becomes something more noble and a way of showing of highlighting the issue even more and saying look
[SPEAKER_02]: Because frankly, we should have asked for a ton of things in order to agree to a budget.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: That requires you to ask for, you know, for stopping the ice rays, they should have asked for that Trump would have to follow whatever laws the Congress passes, you know, when it comes to budget at least.
[SPEAKER_04]: Or at least at least that Russ Vaughn would be caught completely out of this.
[SPEAKER_04]: You kind of out of it.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Completely.
[SPEAKER_04]: That vote, sorry.
[SPEAKER_04]: But he would not be that Russ would, you know, go sit back at OMB and pull his heels.
[SPEAKER_04]: But yeah, we've got more to talk with you about.
[SPEAKER_04]: Can we hang you around for another round?
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, he's a bar after all.
[SPEAKER_04]: So, yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'll have a drink.

[SPEAKER_04]: All right, Roode.
[SPEAKER_04]: So obviously, there is the the mess that the trader dams and I keep referring to them as trader dams.
[SPEAKER_06]: As you should.
[SPEAKER_04]: It just sounds like the worst store.
[SPEAKER_02]: The box has always had that thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: Let's run by a bunch of E-ors.
[SPEAKER_04]: So obviously, I mean, there's that, there's the shutdown.
[SPEAKER_04]: People, some people are like, when's it going to get back?
[SPEAKER_04]: It takes, uh, being here in the DC corner of the bar, uh, it's going to take five to ten days for things to get somewhat back.
[SPEAKER_04]: Some things are going to take weeks.
[SPEAKER_04]: And because it's happening this time of year, some stuff isn't going to get back until like mid January.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's just, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I got to fly next Friday.
[SPEAKER_02]: I fly.
[SPEAKER_06]: So is it a non stop somewhere I hope?
[SPEAKER_02]: It's always non stop.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: At this point, I just refused to I'm with you on that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: But how is how is LaGuardia these days?
[SPEAKER_02]: LaGuardia LaGuardia is beautiful these days after the remodel.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a gorgeous.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's it's a pleasure to go to LaGuardia and believe it or not.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's beautiful.
[SPEAKER_02]: It has it has the beautiful atrium areas.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's got tons of restaurants.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's actually a further proof that things can change.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I fly a lot out of Newark.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just because it's convenience.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_04]: They still have, they still have the old picture of Cory Booker up on the wall there.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: They don't I mean you know now when you fly I'm not flying internationally as time and now when you fly in now You get a scowling Donald Trump greeting you when you come back to America.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because welcome back.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, holes Every time I fly back and you have something in your phone.
[SPEAKER_02]: We don't like Every time I come back I keep hoping they'll say no we're not letting you back in and I can just go all right
[SPEAKER_04]: around and say where am I going to go it's entirely possible the delays I shot the shot you this and I note earlier today Jody flight delays began five days ago there has been 36,000 delays 9,000 cancellations
[SPEAKER_04]: According to the FAA.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, Mindy was delayed last Thursday to go to the luncheon thing and she made it just in time.
[SPEAKER_06]: Uh, so.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, no, I saw Tom Papa.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if we're related or not, if anybody knows Tom.
[SPEAKER_02]: Please ask him for me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: He actually, I saw him in Newark and he said that he barely made it because his flight was canceled out of L.A. to get to Newark.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: Even celebrities are inconvenience.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's why we're opening things back up because wealthy people couldn't travel.
[SPEAKER_02]: they couldn't, they were upset.
[SPEAKER_02]: They were, they were going to start shutting down.
[SPEAKER_02]: They were going to start stopping private planes from flying.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, that's the biggest thing to me is that you know, because of the people who are in the Trader Dam's caucus, you know that the people from United and Delta, they were, you know, picking up the phone and calling, you know, one of my senators here in Virginia.
[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, Tammy.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm sorry, but, you know, my
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, well, and obviously the tune Nevada senators were concerned because of Vegas.
[SPEAKER_06]: And yeah, it's understandable.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, I'm not going to begrudge them for being concerned about tourism in their state because that's how people get into Vegas mainly is flying.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, it's Californians and Arizona into the drive.
[SPEAKER_02]: Basically, I was going to say that there's only a couple places you want to bother driving there from.
[UNKNOWN]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: But yeah, it's I just it's one of those things.
[SPEAKER_04]: Although you can you can drive there from Utah and there is some good news out there today.
[SPEAKER_04]: We've got this in the election land section there of the news on tap today at the politics bar dot com.
[SPEAKER_04]: If you go down to election land, you will see that the Utah judge has rejected the Republican redistricting scheme and approved if the new voting map with a likely democratic seat around Salt Lake City.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, and that's why it could be it should be it shouldn't it should be done in a non-partisan way any everywhere I agree even in California.
[SPEAKER_06]: It wasn't California until Prop 50 right well, right?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, but Prop 50 is temporary as you said only until this has to be so 23 Texas We had talked about this route for what you two three months now when they started this this garbage in Texas
[SPEAKER_04]: and it was interesting to note because Dave Wasserman of uh... cook political reports he put out a big thing today he's still over on twitter whatever and uh... he put this thing out and he says uh... look between uh... Ohio Kansas California Virginia and now this this big winning Utah democrats have quietly strung together an impressive streak of victories over the past few weeks
[SPEAKER_04]: Republicans lead by half a seat.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_04]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_04]: Jody and I said this two months ago.
[SPEAKER_04]: if you fight, if you push it, if Democrats push it everywhere they can, yep, this is going to be a big loser for Republicans.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, I think in Texas, they're going to lose anyway because of the Latino vote is going goodbye.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the thing is they were they were anticipating that those ships that happened in 24 permanent.
[SPEAKER_02]: Continue and they have lost it all.
[SPEAKER_02]: And they, I just read something today about how the black vote shifted back in a huge way.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I think that Mikey Cheryl in New Jersey got seven more percent, seven percent higher of black vote than then Kamala Harris.
[SPEAKER_04]: And the lesson that some of the centrist are really going to hate from Mamdoni is, and I saw this, and I want to go back and read into the cross tabs and things a little bit more.
[SPEAKER_04]: But the youth vote in the last mayoral election in New York City was somewhere around 17% of the people who are like 19 to 29, and this time it was 41% of that age group.
[SPEAKER_04]: And basically, they're like, well, my God, why did the young people come out and vote for him?
[SPEAKER_04]: And they came out and voted for him because he listened to them.
[SPEAKER_04]: He went where they are.
[SPEAKER_04]: physically and also on their social media platforms, he was honest himself and most important the thing that translates across candidates across wherever you are, whether you're in the deepest red part of the United States or the deepest blue part, the two biggest things that we've been talking about the whole time we've had the bar here, affordability and accountability.
[SPEAKER_04]: If you screw people, you get caught and by God it needs to be affordable to live anywhere in this country.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll add one more there to your list and he's young.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And that attracted a lot of young people to come out and vote.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, wait, he's pretty much one of us.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: And he's got a great sense of humor.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's got a great, he's nice.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's self-deprecating.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, it's the fact that he's honest,
[SPEAKER_04]: you know how many politicians do we know local state and federal across this country from coast to coast and in all seven territories who are full of crap you wouldn't trust them to hand you the salt right and yet they somehow get elected maybe sometimes because they're the only one that runs there's that yeah
[SPEAKER_04]: And yet I'm going to comes out there and says, you know, he was out there four days after he was out there this time last year in New York in the places that used to vote blue.
[SPEAKER_04]: asking on camera.
[SPEAKER_04]: Why did you vote the way that you did?
[SPEAKER_04]: Why did you support Donald Trump?
[SPEAKER_04]: Why did you do this?
[SPEAKER_04]: And people would tell him things like, you know, I just, I don't think I can trust the Democratic Party.
[SPEAKER_04]: They've, you know, told me they were going to do one thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: It told me they were going to fight and then they folded and I just, I can't believe that.
[SPEAKER_04]: He was listening to them.
[SPEAKER_04]: He wasn't cringing.
[SPEAKER_04]: He was just, okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: I hear you.
[SPEAKER_02]: It wasn't like me saying you're just an idiot.
[SPEAKER_02]: Orange.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I would say too.
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, I would want to know.
[SPEAKER_02]: Did we vote for Biden?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I voted for Biden.
[SPEAKER_02]: Did you then vote for Trump?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: And now you're going to vote for Mombani?
[SPEAKER_02]: You're an idiot.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you're an idiot because you decided to take that turn to Trump just because you believed everything that you were told about the Biden administration.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I think you because I think all three of us, there's a lot of people who have that.
[SPEAKER_04]: You're like, are you freaking kidding me?
[SPEAKER_04]: They think, yeah, we said this before.
[SPEAKER_04]: Politics is not Burger King.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, this is not where I want two pickles, not three.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I want onions on this half of the burger, not that half.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Politics is not Burger King.
[SPEAKER_04]: You cannot get your way.
[SPEAKER_04]: This is not how it works.
[SPEAKER_04]: You take the best when you get.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's an angry chef that is cooking a tasting menu and will not let you sub to do anything.
[SPEAKER_02]: True.
[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's 100%.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: That one.
[SPEAKER_04]: But yeah, but it's it's just nice to see that further literally proof when you stand out there and you listen when you fight when you show up You know the things that the Trader Dems didn't do and so you know that's them
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, the other one is the rest of us.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And the other thing is mom, Donnie showed how it could be fun to have a campaign.
[SPEAKER_02]: He had events like a scavenger hunt.
[SPEAKER_02]: And they were expecting 500 people to show up.
[SPEAKER_02]: They had 500 lists, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: You go, and thousands of people showed up for this.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then he had this, uh, this, uh, cost of living, um, uh,
[SPEAKER_02]: It's been soccer tournament that had teams from all five burrows where so many people showed up and played and then he gave a speech just before the final match.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you know, he just made it so that it became a community around the campaign.
[SPEAKER_06]: There's a little bit of clinton-esqueness about him.
[SPEAKER_06]: Remember when clinton was running the first time there was something about him that he just like appealed to people younger than he like myself and and you know obviously his generation doi but he he was fun he had fun he played saxophone I mean all these things
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, I'm donny going and DJing, you know, I mean, these kind of things, it does, even Nixon God bless him going on laughing.
[SPEAKER_06]: That was a smart move.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's, it's, it's, it's having fun, and it's also being able to get information in while people are having.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Which, you know, we do a lot of here at the politics bar, but, but
[SPEAKER_04]: Those, those are important.
[SPEAKER_04]: You got to have fun.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, here's something that you learn and then people can go, hey dude, I was at the event for that candidate.
[SPEAKER_04]: Want to hear what I learned?
[SPEAKER_04]: because they become an amplifier in that message.
[SPEAKER_06]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_04]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_06]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, he's good.
[SPEAKER_06]: I hope he can get what he wants done or at least a lot of what he wants to get done done.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's up to the city council, obviously.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, you know, he's going.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like he's going to have to deal with that.
[SPEAKER_02]: But I also think that voters will show up to throw out some of the city council that they need to.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right, but I also think the other thing that I hope he does.
[SPEAKER_04]: And then I think, you know, we see this from Rep. AOC that she will go out and explain.
[SPEAKER_04]: There is got what is his name?
[SPEAKER_04]: He's now the Attorney General in North Carolina.
[SPEAKER_04]: He's done this, too, where Jeff, got to get him worse last name now.
[SPEAKER_04]: But because I saw him on social media, any time that something was bad when he was in the house, something would go bad and he'd pop on TikTok or he'd pop on YouTube and he'd do a video.
[SPEAKER_04]: And he'd be like, this is the thing that's going on.
[SPEAKER_04]: And, you know, this particular thing sucks.
[SPEAKER_04]: And that's kind of how this particular thing goes and you're like, okay?
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, at least I know what the hell is going on as opposed to, you know, so many of them where they're like, it's opaque.
[SPEAKER_04]: You don't need to know.
[SPEAKER_04]: So.
[SPEAKER_04]: We're so glad to hear so much.
[SPEAKER_04]: We really appreciate it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Can you back in here again?

[SPEAKER_04]: Hence, there isn't for this shirt.
[SPEAKER_04]: Although, you know, my particular one of my favorite shirts is still the Jodi's right shirt.
[SPEAKER_04]: Especially the one that looks like the Chris is wrong shirt.
[SPEAKER_04]: even though sometimes Chris is right.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, it is weird when I wear it because I'm wearing me on me and that's just weird.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, you know, it's it's self-promotion.
[SPEAKER_06]: There we go.
[SPEAKER_06]: We'll go with that.
[SPEAKER_04]: I still I still would love, I know it's almost impossible, but I would love the picture of Chris and Steph's face.
[SPEAKER_04]: If you and Lonnie where you were your shirt, the Jody is right shirt and Lonnie would wear a Chris's wrong shirt and come in on a Tuesday because that would be.
[SPEAKER_06]: When I host for Stephanie, maybe I'll do that because then Stephanie won't be there, but Chris will.
[SPEAKER_04]: Ooh, see, we've got, we've got all these plans and we know that both Steph and Chris are asleep right now.

[SPEAKER_04]: Jody is right.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'll take that.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right, guys, for those of you we will get to the drink of the day here when Jared gets in because it's more fun when Jared and Jody are able to do the drink together.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's, that's just kind of cool.
[SPEAKER_04]: We are checking in on the news on tap for the day.
[SPEAKER_04]: And there is a few other bits and pieces that we have in the news for the day.
[SPEAKER_04]: The Trump Corruption and Cool Tea, I don't know what you want to call it,
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I would call it that although there is some good news there looks like bovino and the ice monsters the DHS monsters It's it's really everybody in DHS.
[SPEAKER_04]: They may be leaving Chicago.
[SPEAKER_04]: I find it infinitely amusing that they are running from Chicago Right after its nose.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, it's too cold.
[SPEAKER_04]: For those of you who don't know, Bovino, I believe his home base is actually seven California.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: He can leave here too.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_04]: He can leave everywhere basically anyway.
[SPEAKER_04]: But we've got a story on that that's in the news on tap.
[SPEAKER_04]: We do also have a wonderful story today, a couple of them there about the fact that it is Veterans Day.
[SPEAKER_04]: Now, for those of you who get it confused.
[SPEAKER_04]: Memorial Day's in the spring.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Memorial Day is when, right.
[SPEAKER_04]: That is when we remember Memorial Day, all of the service members who are dead.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Veterans Day is actually, you can say, and you should say, happy Veterans Day.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's perfectly fine.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's a positive kind of a thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: And it was actually really cool, because former President Obama surprised a bunch of veterans who were landing here in DC on an honor flight.
[SPEAKER_04]: literally, you just said, you know, they land the plane, they tell everybody stay seated, they got to get things connected, so they get things connected to the walkway.
[SPEAKER_04]: And then somebody kind of reaches around, you don't see the person up front, reach around, get the microphone, and I've got this on the DVR tellaries.
[SPEAKER_05]: for everybody.
[SPEAKER_05]: What?
[SPEAKER_05]: We approach veterans that I want to stop by and just say, thank you for your extraordinary service to you, your family.
[SPEAKER_04]: All these seconds.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'll be the same.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'll be the same.
[SPEAKER_05]: We'll always be honored.
[SPEAKER_05]: And we are very grateful, and we also happen to welcome you with a 70 degree day in DC, which doesn't always happen around here.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the first time I've seen a president, former or current.
[SPEAKER_01]: a great and on or flight, and that is absolutely amazing.
[SPEAKER_01]: A commander and chief, a leader, who's going to show up and tell you that your service was worth something.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's the important part, so I think it was a great thing for my work.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: And as we know, most veterans, it's in general more of a conservative group of people.
[SPEAKER_04]: There are actually there are a lot of liberal veterans out there too.
[SPEAKER_04]: They're getting there.
[SPEAKER_04]: They used to be used to be conservative.
[SPEAKER_04]: They went in and then they went.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, the armed services, the people that usually sign up are generally more conservative than people that don't sign up.
[SPEAKER_04]: But it is interesting that regardless, they were all very pleased and they were pleased because of that veteran, as she said, that this is the first time that she's ever seen
[SPEAKER_04]: or an honor flight.
[SPEAKER_04]: For those of you who don't know, honor flights are something they've been doing now for oh, God, since the late 90s, I think, where they take veterans from different areas of the country, they fill a plane with them, they bring them here, they bring them to the veterans memorial and some of the other things around DC.
[SPEAKER_04]: And, you know, it's, it is a show of respect, and it's something you should do today on veterans day.
[SPEAKER_04]: But it's just it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's,
[SPEAKER_04]: It's a nice thing, Veterans Day is the kind of thing where if you know somebody's a veteran, you salute them or you just say thank you.
[SPEAKER_04]: And you do something nice.
[SPEAKER_04]: You can do all kinds of nice things for veterans who are in your neighborhood.
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe do some later this week and say, you know, I missed it on Veterans Day, but I wanted to do it for Veterans.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, thank you and thank Randy and much of other people, you know, because I know, and Allison Gil, I mean, my cousin Jenny is one.
[SPEAKER_06]: I have my dad was in the Navy.
[SPEAKER_06]: There are a lot of, I do know a lot of veterans.
[SPEAKER_06]: I have a friend of mine as a veteran from Vietnam.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's great.
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, look, it's, it's one of those things where you don't, you don't always really, when you're 17, 18, 19, you don't freaking realize you signed the papers and you swear in twice and you don't necessarily think about the cost.
[SPEAKER_04]: You think about, hey, I get to see the world or hey, I get money for college or whatever.
[SPEAKER_04]: And there are a lot of benefits there are a lot of benefits and I don't just mean you know like VA and stuff There are a lot of benefits to having been in the service.
[SPEAKER_04]: I would not mean nearly as organized if I had not been in the service Well, yeah, I mean on his dad.
[SPEAKER_06]: He's marine and apparently he can still fit in who's uniform and he's in his 80s Nice so he's he's still pretty pretty toys.
[SPEAKER_06]: He's very fit
[SPEAKER_04]: That's good.
[SPEAKER_04]: That is a great thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: Baby girl.
[SPEAKER_04]: This is also something that's off of that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Hello.
[SPEAKER_06]: I just walked into the bay.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm trying to wrangle my cat.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm doing it, man.
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh, you know, just celebrating the hardest working and deepest, the most grateful people for which I am today.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, we were just talking about that.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, I was talking about Jodie, who does well.
[SPEAKER_04]: So I'm in the beginning.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, this is also true.
[SPEAKER_04]: This is 100% truth.
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh, that's right.
[SPEAKER_12]: That's today, too.
[SPEAKER_12]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, well as you as you hand me a drink over the bar, I'll say thank you for the Vice Trump sir That's how that looks look it is it look it's a good they we've been waiting to do the drink of the day since you got here Well next segment because we're we're getting closer to the you know well got to collect the the glasses for the next round
[SPEAKER_04]: But we are very glad Jared is here in the bar tonight.
[SPEAKER_04]: Obviously talking about the news of the day.
[SPEAKER_04]: Have to check in because we mentioned here just a couple minutes ago.
[SPEAKER_04]: There's a story to the news on tap.
[SPEAKER_04]: It looks like Greg Bavino and some of the ice monsters around Chicago.
[SPEAKER_04]: Can't handle the cold snow is the first time they get a foot of snow.
[SPEAKER_04]: Mr. Southern California Greg Bavino runs and hides and at least takes off for a little while.
[SPEAKER_04]: So how are the ice monsters down for you down in DC proper?
[SPEAKER_12]: It is remarkable how quickly we become acclimated to something vastly different than what would have been considered normal for my entire life up till now.
[SPEAKER_12]: Because I still feel that little spike of cortisol.
[SPEAKER_12]: I still feel that, oh, you know, cross the street kind of feeling of, oh, I don't really like this.
[SPEAKER_12]: I actually think free DC, the organization that's been doing, frankly, for like 50 years,
[SPEAKER_12]: has been doing organizing for D.C. Statehood and for a lot of other things.
[SPEAKER_12]: How is everybody safety stuff, too, if I remember right?
[SPEAKER_12]: Has it right?
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, and I think they have it right.
[SPEAKER_12]: They say the best way we can honor our veterans today is get the National Guard out of Washington.
[SPEAKER_12]: They don't belong here.
[SPEAKER_03]: They really don't.
[SPEAKER_04]: They don't want to be there either.
[SPEAKER_04]: They got their jobs at home.
[SPEAKER_04]: They got their families at home.
[SPEAKER_04]: They're there from other states.
[SPEAKER_04]: I guess they just extended the West Virginia people, which I'm like, the West Virginia folks are like, look, give me an hour and a half.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'll be home.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: they didn't want to be here in LA.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, it's just, you know, they don't want to do this.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's a BS job.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's a BS deployment.
[SPEAKER_12]: It breaks everything that they do that is normally quite good.
[SPEAKER_12]: You know, it's, you know, I would think about the things that we used to be really proud of.
[SPEAKER_12]: The things that we could say, oh, you know what, you, you can, you could say what you like about this country.
[SPEAKER_12]: goodness that we have.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, we all have, but I think, you know, there were some kind of unalloyed goods that we couldn't celebrate.
[SPEAKER_12]: Wherever you are on the political spectrum, and I think one of the things that's really challenging about what this administration has done with the military and not just putting the national garden places here in the United States that they don't belong, but also,
[SPEAKER_12]: You know, as a former White House reporter, you know, putting these political events where you're encouraging these guys to cheer along while you, you dump on the Democrats.
[SPEAKER_12]: Uh-huh.
[SPEAKER_12]: That is really out of line.
[SPEAKER_12]: And I think you think veterans as backdrops for processing events.
[SPEAKER_04]: right exactly.
[SPEAKER_12]: It is it is so disrespectful that I can't even imagine another president doing it, you know, and and having covered several of them at this point.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's just it's just one of the Democrats.
[SPEAKER_12]: Right.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's just one of those things that I just it just gets under my skin.
[SPEAKER_12]: I don't be with longer ten years than I.
[SPEAKER_12]: really did bulk at it.
[SPEAKER_12]: This is just not right.
[SPEAKER_12]: This is, you know, it's not, this is not who we are.
[SPEAKER_12]: There's no who we are.
[SPEAKER_12]: One of the things that we've said was not who we are is what we, this should not be who we shouldn't be right.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, right.
[SPEAKER_12]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_12]: And that's, and that's, so, you know, while we're thinking about that today, just remind yourselves,
[SPEAKER_12]: that this administration has been abusing the military as a prop.
[SPEAKER_12]: They've been sending them into communities to terrorize your neighbors.
[SPEAKER_12]: And on top of all that, they were very willing to have them starve, you know, whether they were in Germany or local or, you know, state side here.
[SPEAKER_04]: And all while they're doing things like, hey, can you send another missile and blow those fish in before me?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, you know, the thing the military would normally call murder so this is this is a really challenging Veterans day for a lot of people and I don't imagine it's gonna get better anytime soon we will need to essentially debathify which is terrible
[SPEAKER_12]: which includes, by the way, a dismantling of a lot of the ice and border patrol infrastructure.
[SPEAKER_04]: It has to demagify everything, which I am perfectly fine with demagification because it's going to be needed.
[SPEAKER_04]: because Maga, they worship Trump.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's who they're loyal to.
[SPEAKER_04]: And Americans were loyal to the Constitution in law.
[SPEAKER_12]: Something slightly higher than Donald Trump's.
[SPEAKER_04]: What does that mean?
[SPEAKER_04]: That ain't difficult to be higher than Donald Trump's.
[SPEAKER_04]: When you're looking at quality and honesty, it's not difficult to be higher than that.
[SPEAKER_12]: So.
[SPEAKER_12]: Ooh.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't have more positive note.
[SPEAKER_04]: Hang on.
[SPEAKER_12]: How dare you.
[SPEAKER_12]: We're staying down here in the slums of the dragon.
[UNKNOWN]: Ha ha ha ha ha.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_04]: We already talked about EOR.
[SPEAKER_04]: We did.
[SPEAKER_04]: We'll imagine that here in the break.
[SPEAKER_04]: Look, we do have the drink of the day coming up.
[SPEAKER_04]: Jody and Jared are going to have some fun with this because it is better at stake.
[SPEAKER_04]: So we'll do a better in this drink.
[SPEAKER_04]: for that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Of course, we still have more news on tap coming up.
[SPEAKER_04]: Uh, there's some, there's some things I bet that we'll talk about in entertainment quite literally.
[SPEAKER_04]: So, look, here's what you can do.
[SPEAKER_04]: Uh, you know, you may have missed at the top of the hour.
[SPEAKER_04]: Look, good out of hall, left right center.
[SPEAKER_04]: Dude, you got to do.
[SPEAKER_04]: Remember, we aimed to please your politics bar.
[SPEAKER_04]: You aim to please.
[SPEAKER_04]: We'll be right back with Jared on a Tuesday night.
[SPEAKER_04]: Hang on.
[SPEAKER_08]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_04]: Tuesday night here at the politics bar we have a lot of fun when we are cleaning things up in the break and of course we have a lot of fun talking with you guys as well about cleaning things up in the break.
[SPEAKER_04]: You've got to do what you got to do otherwise this whole thing is going to be you know stacked of glasses and when we do the video all they're going to see is it'll look like something or a Miami vice thing like you're going through class cubes Look, thank you by the way to all of you who contact us on all of our social media platforms whether you're doing it on blue sky or threads Maybe you're getting out into us on Instagram or some stack Facebook or Twitter You know, we're at the politics bar thank you also those of you leave voicemail messages
[SPEAKER_04]: you know what the number is two one three six seven seven seventy two fifty eight that's two one three six seven seven seven seven two five eight two one three six seven seven salt like in your margarita all the uh today's three of the day not a margarita no we did that we did that last Thursday Jody when when uh uh you were having fun uh with Mindy because it was national nacho day
[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly, and I told you that she actually would find it funny, you know, the the nacho joke.
[SPEAKER_04]: The nacho problem nacho day kind of thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: And yeah, I was I was just just for the record.
[SPEAKER_04]: I was right about that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Dad.
[SPEAKER_12]: I just imagine, by the way, who among us of the three of us is the most likely to have had one of those not a traditional margarita, but one of those, you know, where you can buy them, where there's like seven feet of tubing that you just kind of drape around your neck and it's all just one beverage.
[SPEAKER_12]: I've seen this in Las Vegas.
[SPEAKER_06]: New Orleans probably as well.
[SPEAKER_12]: New Orleans for sure.
[SPEAKER_12]: I've actually, yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: Which of us not me?
[SPEAKER_04]: it's it's it's Sean it's I have I have had one of those ones yes I remember I went at even though I went to the Navy and I am a veteran I I did start my my college experience started at co college and Cedar Rapids I away four year liberal arts school where you know my my being in the Navy got me you know some extra money and that was nice but a lot of the people there a lot of people went there they were from the muffin buff crowd
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, they muffy and buffy.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, that crap.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's what I like.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I'm like, and I was like, whatever.
[SPEAKER_06]: Asked caught some polo shirts.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I was more, you know, I'm like, jean shorts and t-shirts, and you know, whatever.
[SPEAKER_04]: But I don't, you know.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I was rock and roll DJ at the school.
[SPEAKER_04]: So I mean, that's, yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: But I also, they couldn't buy and I could.
[SPEAKER_04]: So.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, so you, you would just bring the draped beverage around your neck and you would just kind of force it out.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, but occasionally you go to, you know, somebody has a party or whatever now.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, it's friend of yours are going and you go and they have that there and you're like, well, obviously somebody's parents paid for this one, but okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: We'll see who does this stupid thing first.
[SPEAKER_04]: We'll stick around.
[SPEAKER_04]: This will be fun.
[SPEAKER_12]: I think we all knew it was Sean, who had draped a rubber dress, right?
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, it's not, it's not that, it's not that, you know, I just happened to know people to do that.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's not that they were sitting on the floor.
[SPEAKER_04]: And if they jumped off the bridge, I would not, because my mother would, that ghost hand would be like, you know, off the bridge, you gonna jump off the bridge?
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't, because I don't want to get slapped, so I'll take it.
[SPEAKER_04]: all right speaking speaking of of drinks losing it up what will change will change direction a little bit there exactly it is it is the politics bar and we do the drink of the day yes please and you guys always love to play off each other when we do the drink of the day and since I'm the veteran I am going to you know sit here and watch this for a second while you guys do this well this is a loss is this is a date of celebration and remembrance and so it's a
[SPEAKER_12]: Okay, series fun, series Jared initiated activated serious sequence only.
[SPEAKER_06]: Whenever my program comes up and says activate, I'm like, Wonder Twins, I just think Wonder Twins.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, yes.
[SPEAKER_04]: I get that.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm totally about that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: Between Miami, Vice, and Wonder Twins, I'm just so desperate to get you guys like a current Netflix subscription.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, we just need this.
[SPEAKER_06]: What's the point of that?
[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, look, I got an Apple TV.
[SPEAKER_04]: I could see Palm Royale.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm good with this.
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh, by the way, speaking of Apple TV, I saw your mom, Jodie, in a preview for, what is this new show, Plerbus?
[SPEAKER_06]: She's not a Plerbus.
[SPEAKER_12]: No, you didn't.
[SPEAKER_04]: Palm Royale.
[SPEAKER_12]: No, it's Palm Royale.
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, well, I'm confused because they were showing this thing for Apple TV, and it was, it was her saying, Carol, who is the actor, who's the main character.
[SPEAKER_12]: So either there's somebody in the other show named Carol or No, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_06]: It looks like they are You see who are in place Carol, but I've seen those ads and they kind of just Mashed a bunch of different shows.
[SPEAKER_12]: Okay, then I was confused.
[SPEAKER_12]: I was like, oh my gosh Is she playing like herself?
[SPEAKER_04]: No, it's an Apple TV.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's promoting Apple TV itself Right, all their shows that when you're watching something they promote it right before it starts I just don't even understand
[SPEAKER_06]: It looks weird and so good.
[SPEAKER_12]: I haven't seen it.
[SPEAKER_12]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: They dropped two episodes the other day.
[SPEAKER_06]: Just go watch it I'm not going to try to explain it to you.
[SPEAKER_06]: Just go watch it.
[SPEAKER_12]: That's what everyone keeps telling.
[SPEAKER_12]: Okay, look, I know we said serious.
[SPEAKER_12]: However, we're just going to completely jettison that entire program and say, I have never been so intrigued by a show I've not yet seen cannot wait to watch it.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's Vince Gilligan who created Better Call Saul and and and breaking bad and then he I think I said this the other day he also wrote for the X files years ago and well that makes sense based on everything I have heard about that show and he wrote an episode called Monday that my sister Carrie was in.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's like a groundhog's day kind of show.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's really good.
[SPEAKER_06]: They got to blow stuff up downtown.
[SPEAKER_06]: It was fun.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's something.
[SPEAKER_06]: I know.
[SPEAKER_06]: We had a film company at the time and Carrie comes home.
[SPEAKER_06]: She goes, I really want to blow stuff up.
[SPEAKER_06]: She'd have to be there that day.
[SPEAKER_06]: She just drove down to, and this is downtown LA, you know.
[SPEAKER_12]: She'd bring her back just because they were blowing stuff up.
[SPEAKER_06]: If she wanted to see it.
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, to bring it back to veterans, they that's why Sean joined the Navy.
[SPEAKER_06]: He went into the list.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, no, no, no, no.
[SPEAKER_06]: He went into the swap deck, that's what I was.
[SPEAKER_06]: I joined the Navy.
[SPEAKER_04]: Can we say this?
[SPEAKER_04]: It's one for college, my head.
[SPEAKER_04]: Hey.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, no.
[SPEAKER_04]: One college money and two, one of my guys that I've known for years, long time friend of mine, whose name is also Sean.
[SPEAKER_04]: And he was like, hey, I'm joining.
[SPEAKER_04]: You want to join?
[SPEAKER_04]: Get college money.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, so it's why my cousin joined the army.
[SPEAKER_06]: She joined it for the same exact reason There you go.
[SPEAKER_04]: And she was her best shot Nice and her in her I got I got ribbons for for pistol and for for rifle when I was in so you know I'm shooting M8 and M16's man.
[SPEAKER_04]: She was good Do not so what is her what is the drink of the day today because it is veterans day?
[SPEAKER_12]: So this is Sean said I'm just going to sit back and he's like, oh, if I do that, we'll never get through it every good day.
[SPEAKER_04]: We'll never do it.
[SPEAKER_04]: He's going to run real high school right now.
[SPEAKER_04]: We're to borrow.
[SPEAKER_04]: I got it, you know, we got it.
[SPEAKER_04]: We got to stick to the, you some things, you know, we got to get some things done.
[SPEAKER_12]: So it is, it is armistice cocktail.
[SPEAKER_06]: It is.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's the armistice cocktail, which is inspired by today armistice day, which is also veterans day here.
[SPEAKER_06]: Right, and basically the armistice was the temporary peace treaty signed between Germany and the Allies during World War I.
[SPEAKER_12]: Right, and that was when Germany was filled with bad guys.
[SPEAKER_06]: Right, they were the bad guys in two world wars.
[SPEAKER_12]: And now they've really had a PR blitz.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, that's man, that was so funny.
[SPEAKER_06]: That was very funny.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, so what is in an armistice cocktail and all y'all there is the history on the website about there's some really good history about that by the way in there, but just for those of you who who are wondering, you know, today to thank and celebrate veterans, absolutely, you're more in it.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's memorial.
[SPEAKER_04]: This is better to write.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, so what you're going to need, you're going to need a mixing glass because we're going to mix things.
[SPEAKER_06]: do a Nick and Nora or a coupe glass.
[SPEAKER_06]: I prefer the Nick and Nora just because I like the thin man.
[SPEAKER_12]: Oh, I'm just going to watch.
[SPEAKER_12]: Let's go back.
[SPEAKER_12]: Let's completely ignore this for a few moments holiday movies.
[SPEAKER_04]: There we go.
[SPEAKER_04]: We'll do holiday movies next.
[SPEAKER_12]: We want to get to this.
[SPEAKER_12]: I just want to see if I can make shots.
[SPEAKER_12]: I twitch.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's funny.
[SPEAKER_06]: Fine.
[SPEAKER_06]: Alright, so seriously, kids, this is a drink that can throw you on your butt.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's a serious drink.
[SPEAKER_06]: They're not kidding with this.
[SPEAKER_06]: You need the ice, and then you need one and a half ounces of rye whiskey, half an ounce of driver myth.
[SPEAKER_06]: As my dad used to say to his martini, just savor myth.
[SPEAKER_00]: Nice.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's how dry he liked those.
[SPEAKER_06]: A quarter ounce of looksardo, maricino liquor, so it's kind of a cherry flavored liquor.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: A quarter ounce of green shark truce, which is an herbal lecure kind of thing.
[SPEAKER_06]: Right.
[SPEAKER_06]: And two dashes, yes.
[SPEAKER_06]: Two dashes of aromatic bitters of your choice.
[SPEAKER_06]: So you can be just as bitter as I am.
[SPEAKER_06]: I was bitter in the third grade.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's amazing.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's very, very bitter.
[SPEAKER_06]: So you add all your ingredients to the mixing glass.
[SPEAKER_06]: Add the ice, stir to chill it, don't bruise it.
[SPEAKER_06]: And then you strain into your pre-chilled cocktail glass.
[SPEAKER_06]: And there is no garnish.
[SPEAKER_06]: So it's relatively simple.
[SPEAKER_04]: Straight up.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, really nice.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's really nice.
[SPEAKER_06]: And thank everybody for their service because that's that's important.
[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: I have not and let's let's not just hope for peace.
[SPEAKER_04]: Let's actually work towards it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Let's do that.
[SPEAKER_06]: Hmm.
[SPEAKER_06]: Gonna be nice.
[SPEAKER_06]: Crazy concept.
[SPEAKER_04]: So if you missed any part of the drink of the day including all the parts where Jared was like, wait, let's talk about Christmas movies.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, he said holiday movies.
[SPEAKER_04]: This is true.
[SPEAKER_04]: You did.
[SPEAKER_04]: He was there other holidays than that because I'm a liberal.
[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, you're so woke.
[SPEAKER_04]: You could subscribe to all of it at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, you know, look, so I mentioned earlier, this is down and the fifth round in the news on tap today.
[SPEAKER_04]: Pardon me, excuse me.
[SPEAKER_04]: Rest in peace first of all to Sally Kirkman.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, 84.
[SPEAKER_06]: She only went into hospice, I think last weekend.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah, it's it just the fact that she went to hospice week ago, I think, and then poof, yeah, so I mean it's obviously your health was poor, but that's kind of a bother.
[SPEAKER_04]: And WSL play off for those of you paying attention to that Gotham F.C.
[SPEAKER_04]: stunned K.C.
[SPEAKER_04]: current and the Washington spirit advanced, which is nice.
[SPEAKER_04]: If you're watching NFL last night, eagles out last the Packers 10.7, that's not surprising.
[SPEAKER_04]: The betting thing, this is the thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: So we know about the big problem that's going on in the NBA.
[SPEAKER_04]: And now with Major League Baseball, MLB is officially saying that they are announcing
[SPEAKER_04]: Do you guys know what prop bets are now what is that?
[SPEAKER_04]: Bet's on a proposition.
[SPEAKER_04]: So for example, in baseball, a proposition can be any piece of action that happens in the game.
[SPEAKER_04]: For example, the individual pitch of a ball.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's how these two pitchers who are in a Cleveland Guardians.
[SPEAKER_04]: Literally there is a report of one of them, he's sitting in the dugout on his phone.
[SPEAKER_04]: There's somebody there who's in the park, because you know, they have those in-park betting areas.
[SPEAKER_04]: And he texts him and he says, I'm going to throw out the first ball and then throw out is a strike.
[SPEAKER_04]: And then he goes out on the field and he throws a strike or it was a ball.
[SPEAKER_04]: I can't remember which was, but he told him what it was going to be.
[SPEAKER_04]: And you, you, that's not a bet that's you rigging something.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's that's different.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's fixing a game correct.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's different than Pete Rose betting on other things.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right, Pete Rose was betting on NFL games.
[SPEAKER_04]: He was not betting on Major League Base.
[SPEAKER_06]: I still don't understand why he got kicked out for that.
[SPEAKER_06]: I still blows my mind.
[SPEAKER_04]: Because back then, they were like, you know, this is betting.
[SPEAKER_04]: You, this is where we're supposed to be above this.
[SPEAKER_04]: Now, they literally have the betting organizations, sponsoring half the damn sports.
[SPEAKER_04]: And they're surprised when players go, well, hell, you don't care.
[SPEAKER_04]: So if you don't care, oh, I'll care either.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I'm just, I mean, if you bet on some other game, it's different than on your own.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, that's right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right, they are literally betting, not just on their betting on their own propositions.
[SPEAKER_04]: When I get out of the field, I'm going to run 20 steps this way.
[SPEAKER_04]: That me wrong.
[SPEAKER_04]: All you gotta do is go out there run 20 steps that way.
[SPEAKER_04]: Great.
[SPEAKER_12]: What's crazy to me about this is not only has every sports betting company just completely saturated the live broadcasts, the commercial loads, everything that I'm doing is out there.
[SPEAKER_12]: But also some of our platforms during our show right here at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_12]: What you're seeing is sorry for the sponsors, we're not going to get from Fandel.
[SPEAKER_12]: But the idea that you could have all of these bets throughout the, I mean, that is just it is debilitatingly addictive to the point where it's like every pitch, every hit, every color of a bandana like I just don't what what are we doing here right.
[SPEAKER_06]: gambling can be addictive of a friend of mine that I dated on and off for a minute.
[SPEAKER_06]: He was he was gambling addict, which led to a drinking problem because addiction was addiction, right?
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, and I mean he's sober now and he doesn't gambling but gambling was his gateway to other problems.
[SPEAKER_12]: And it fires all of the same pleasure centers of your brain.
[SPEAKER_12]: And that's why it's, that's why it's fungible.
[SPEAKER_12]: I mean, it's interesting, I don't know if you've seen this, but some of those new, what don't Trump calls the fat drugs, but you know, the, you know, the, those epic and like, we go, yeah.
[SPEAKER_12]: they've found that it's it's also somewhat a dopamine for yeah for other things that are part of that dopamine cycle it would be really fascinating to see this war that as a culture we're fighting on two fronts where we're at the same time opening up so that everyone's got to really see those and oh by the way take this medication which absolutely blocks you from being and according to Dr. Oz we're gonna have to list 400 pounds
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I think we're all going to lose 400 pounds unless it's only the 140 million people on Medicaid and then they'll each have to lose 900 pounds because it's a whole To be fair I suppose I suppose if they if it's the way that it's done in the Donald Trump regime It'll be easy for them because they won't be eating anything doesn't mean that I need to eat a lot more so I can lose the 400 pounds
[SPEAKER_04]: This is we we're gonna have to talk about this as we close out the bargain I we had last call coming up Tuesday night Jared Rizsey hanging with Jody Hamilton and me Sean Smith Pierce and of course You thank you guys very much for hanging out with us from whatever corner of the bar You happen to be hanging out in freshen up your drink and do whatever you got to do in the break I mean come on back for last call Tuesday night here at the politics class

[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, bless your heart.
[SPEAKER_04]: Actually, when I worked in Country Music, I had a, because I would come up with, you know, like I do, like I come up with new games, like Tiny Johnson.
[SPEAKER_04]: And, you know, for example, Tim McGraw, I used to call him Baldi.
[SPEAKER_04]: This is before he actually went bald.
[SPEAKER_04]: So, so this is before he got the hair transplant.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, the other hair transplant.
[SPEAKER_04]: And so, literally, I would be talking and I'd be like, you know, so, hey, did you see Faith and Baldi?
[SPEAKER_04]: They're confident it was up in Omaha.
[SPEAKER_04]: And it was funny because, I guess, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're, they're,
[SPEAKER_04]: So, you know, and you, hey, at some point we all end up that way.
[SPEAKER_04]: Whatever.
[SPEAKER_04]: I know.
[SPEAKER_12]: I was born bald.
[SPEAKER_12]: My, my barber says that this is just going to be how I am forever.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's just, it's gray.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's, it's practically white.
[SPEAKER_12]: It may be.
[SPEAKER_06]: So it's my, you just can't tell.
[SPEAKER_06]: No.
[SPEAKER_06]: Mine is exactly your color.
[SPEAKER_12]: So, but, but, but yours is like now I know what I would look like as a redhead, which there you go.
[SPEAKER_06]: Garnier R3, go for it.
[SPEAKER_12]: I have, I have thought, and I know I've said this to both, but as, as a, you know, a sis head white guy in my 40s now.
[SPEAKER_12]: With this color hair, with this, but with this color hair.
[SPEAKER_12]: I've got to make sure that people saw it.
[SPEAKER_12]: What do I do?
[SPEAKER_12]: Do I make it tealed?
[SPEAKER_12]: What do I do?
[SPEAKER_04]: a little purple maybe on the end you can do or you can do rainbow you can totally go rainbow right you know do the whole spectrum that's not a bad idea there you go I like that idea I do I do I do I do I do I do know of some bad ideas though there is a really bad one that is out there it's in the news on tap today under the third round under Trumponomics is a scam so uh
[SPEAKER_04]: which one pick one well yeah there's a lot of stuff um uh first of all Donald Trump has been saying that costs her way down and that is
[SPEAKER_04]: Daniel Dale did a fact check and in fact grocery prices are way up.
[SPEAKER_04]: We've got the article that says both Trump doing the downplaying and Daniel bringing the facts, which is fun.
[SPEAKER_04]: But the other thing we were talking about is a bad idea.
[SPEAKER_04]: So, Trump has got this new idea has been pushing and it came from his housing guy.
[SPEAKER_04]: The same guy where a lot of the lawsuits against like Tish James and James Colmy are coming from
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, uh, Tim Pulta, I believe is this name.
[SPEAKER_06]: He's the, uh, I think it's Bill Pulta.
[SPEAKER_04]: Bill Pulta, you're right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, uh, Tim, I believe is a brother.
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, the, um, he's the administrator of the federal home housing administration thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: And, and he comes with this idea of saying, let's do a 50 year mortgage.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, exact 50 freaking year, a 50.
[SPEAKER_04]: You guys, you guys know what?
[SPEAKER_06]: indebted to the renting.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, renting basically.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's it's why why why why would you do that?
[SPEAKER_04]: You're not.
[SPEAKER_04]: You're not going to build any equity.
[SPEAKER_04]: Nope.
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, it's not before you died.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's it's it's it's it's three card Monday because you're at the same time.
[SPEAKER_12]: Remember what they did in 2017 with their tax policy.
[SPEAKER_12]: They raised the standard deduction, which means that most people unless you're.
[SPEAKER_12]: pretty wealthy are not going to be able to take advantage of a lot of the housing policy deductions that you would normally get.
[SPEAKER_12]: Right.
[SPEAKER_12]: And so your tax burden may change may have changed in the last couple of years because you're no longer qualifying for some of those deductions especially, uh, Jodie Rayser hand.
[SPEAKER_12]: especially for people who are in these states that have high state and local taxes, I'm thinking of the New Yorkers, the Californians out here, right.
[SPEAKER_12]: Let me have other people who've been yelling up and down about this.
[SPEAKER_12]: So they've done that, which is basically said, hey, if you're a, if you're doing okay, but not amazing, like, you know, not like top 1% levels,
[SPEAKER_12]: we're going to take away one of the biggest things that you get from the government, which is the mortgage tax deductions and all the stuff that goes with that by raising the standard deduction.
[SPEAKER_12]: Now they're saying, by the way, we figured out another way to screw the American consumer by we're going to make this product available.
[SPEAKER_12]: I'll probably no one was asking for.
[SPEAKER_06]: The banks don't want it either.
[SPEAKER_12]: But 50-year mortgage is the same as the tiny turkey.
[SPEAKER_12]: He's selling you a crappier product for more frankly money for, you know, per item.
[SPEAKER_12]: And pretending like it's a deal because the sticker price is, you know, lower month to month, I guess, or holiday to holiday.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's nonsense.
[SPEAKER_12]: And if I,
[SPEAKER_12]: If people are even the lowest level of financially literate and the planning of them aren't, they will see right through this.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, I mean, I've been in my house for what year is it?
[SPEAKER_06]: 32 years.
[SPEAKER_06]: I did brief I not too long ago.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, bet 52, 99, 2000 something like that.
[SPEAKER_06]: And now finally, and it's a really good market.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_06]: Tint it, Tint it, Tint it.
[SPEAKER_06]: But now finally, the principle is over the interest.
[SPEAKER_04]: Nice.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, and that's like, yay.
[SPEAKER_06]: And now, of course, the bank wants me to borrow more money because I'm interested in these things.
[SPEAKER_06]: But it's just like, I bought this house when I was a little baby person.
[SPEAKER_06]: Most people now aren't even starting to buy a house until they're in the late 30s to mid 40s depending on where you live.
[SPEAKER_04]: So I just saw it.
[SPEAKER_06]: 95, but you're finally paid off.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think it was bank rate that just said that the average age for Americans now to start buying a home is 40.
[SPEAKER_06]: 40 so 90 when you finally paid off.
[SPEAKER_06]: If you're alive.
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, and then once you're 90, you can crest into that reverse mortgage.
[SPEAKER_12]: Sorry for another sponsorship for the last couple of years.
[SPEAKER_06]: Don't want it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Tom Selick will not be on our show.
[SPEAKER_12]: 2,000, 7's hottest commodities in the radius of sponsored shit.
[SPEAKER_04]: But it is one of those things where I'm like, you're right that it is a very transparent.
[SPEAKER_04]: It is, God, it is the cheapest, shilling, the, I mean, we've all seen, you know, crummy ads.
[SPEAKER_04]: There's an ad where you're like, okay, if they did this a little bit better, this might
[SPEAKER_04]: And then there's one where you're like, okay, this was kind of like local TV, they didn't have all the stuff, whatever.
[SPEAKER_04]: Then there's the ones where you go, okay, these people are just, they're, they're cheating bastards.
[SPEAKER_04]: And they're trying to screw people over.
[SPEAKER_04]: They did it this way.
[SPEAKER_04]: They couldn't have the money to do another way.
[SPEAKER_04]: But there's just cheating bastards on this.
[SPEAKER_04]: What the hell are they doing?
[SPEAKER_04]: That is the level, it's almost even below that level.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's the, it's the, the guy in the street corner.
[SPEAKER_06]: going hey I got the box here I got the three uh... bowls what's what's what's what's what's what's what's what's what's what's what's what's exactly well and and at the other thing i heard i think i read it this morning because it was it to a clock this morning anyway um... that now dawn only sneaking of fifteen year car notes who wants a car other than me for fifteen years i'm the only one that owns a car for more than like five years the average is usually around ten yeah
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, I mean, a lot of people that have a note, it's four years.
[SPEAKER_06]: They kind of just turn it back to say.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm just saying the time that people own a car is now average of 10.
[SPEAKER_04]: Not, but you're talking a lease for that long.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's what people own a car.
[SPEAKER_04]: So they have like a three or four or five year note buying thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: They keep the car for another, you know, five to six years after that.
[SPEAKER_04]: And then they get another one.
[SPEAKER_04]: That is more common when people do that.
[SPEAKER_04]: And that's for the people who have cars.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Younger people, even in areas that are car heavy, are significantly less getting their licenses, getting their getting cars themselves because they've got Uber, they've got lift, they've got their friends, they can just text, um, but, I mean, when I grew up here in LA, you could drive pretty much by yourself at 16.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, not anymore now.
[SPEAKER_06]: Um, you have to be, you can get your license as 16, but somebody over 21 has to be in the car with you unless you're just going to school and you can't have any of your friends in the car.
[SPEAKER_06]: So what's the point of bothering and then what's your 18.
[SPEAKER_06]: There's still restrictions at that point.
[SPEAKER_06]: So a lot of kids in Los Angeles and California are like,
[SPEAKER_12]: I think the other thing, you know, I can't say the version of this that people have been using, but the end-pupification of everything in our lives, we've seen a lot of it in technology because it's like, hey, remember Google search?
[SPEAKER_12]: Well, we're going to make it worse now so that we can sell more ads because if you have to look at a second page, social media is the same thing.
[SPEAKER_12]: what we're also seeing is now these financial instruments.
[SPEAKER_12]: They're like, well, the country's basically over.
[SPEAKER_12]: So we can just kind of rent, seek wherever we can.
[SPEAKER_12]: And hope that doesn't depress everyone else because we're making quarterly money.
[SPEAKER_12]: I mean, this is where we are.
[SPEAKER_12]: And it's really gross, but it's also a great sign of things aren't that great in Donald Trump's America, because we're talking about, you know, taking out a 15-year loan on a can of beans.
[SPEAKER_04]: But basically, this is the thing that all of this tracks back to the fact that Donald Trump is corrupt as hell and the people who are around him as corrupt as hell.
[SPEAKER_04]: And we've said this before, when people do not seem to understand the concept of the fish rots from the head that whoever is at the top sets the tone, they may not put it in law, they may not say that you have to do this, but they set the tone.
[SPEAKER_04]: when Barack Obama and when Joe Biden were at the top, the tone was, you should do things the correct way.
[SPEAKER_04]: You should follow the rules.
[SPEAKER_04]: And especially, Biden Harris, we're trying to change the rules to stop a lot of the,
[SPEAKER_04]: stuff.
[SPEAKER_12]: The worst profiteering frankly.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, the cheating in the scam.
[SPEAKER_04]: And now, Trump's back and it will scams everywhere.
[SPEAKER_04]: It matters who people vote for matters.
[SPEAKER_04]: It matters because it sets the tone for your state or your city and of course your nation.
[SPEAKER_12]: And we talked about this with Carolyn Fiddler over at the Democratic Attorney's General last last week and it's today.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, and it's the same thing.
[SPEAKER_12]: It's they know that they have their work cut out for them as Democratic AG's trying to just hold back the flood of these scams.
[SPEAKER_12]: Because this is a scam president with a scam administration who wants everyone to be involved in as many scams as possible.
[SPEAKER_12]: And, uh, you know, let's see if somebody elected official can protect us from that.
[SPEAKER_12]: I still think my briefs.
[SPEAKER_04]: I still think Trump's theory is the running from the dinosaur theory, which is, you know, you don't have to be that fast.
[SPEAKER_04]: You just have to be faster than the person behind you.
[SPEAKER_09]: So there you go.
[SPEAKER_04]: Look, Jared, we'll be back with us another time or two here between now and the December holidays.
[SPEAKER_04]: But we are always glad when you are here.
[SPEAKER_04]: Mr. Rizzi found on all of your favorite social media platforms.
[SPEAKER_04]: Jody, tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_04]: I believe we got Bob Sesska, is her own?
[SPEAKER_04]: We do, and Thursday.
[SPEAKER_04]: Thursday, who do we have, Jody?
[SPEAKER_06]: We have a best-selling author named John Fuckel sang and the mayor of my little city.
[SPEAKER_04]: Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and that's good bass.
[SPEAKER_04]: It is a good bass.
[SPEAKER_04]: Come on, back see you tomorrow night.
[SPEAKER_04]: Here's the politics box.
