[SPEAKER_05]: It's political.
[SPEAKER_07]: Thank you, radical.
[SPEAKER_05]: Shotsmith, Pearson, Jody Hamilton.
[SPEAKER_14]: Hey, Jory!
[SPEAKER_14]: Hey, Sean!
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, good, lower, girl.
[SPEAKER_11]: It is Friday.
[SPEAKER_11]: It is really, really hot.
[SPEAKER_11]: It was like a hundred and ten hundred and twelve heated decks here in the DC part of the bar earlier.
[SPEAKER_13]: I'm so sorry.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, you know, hot and sticky, which is why a Trump did, but he always does.
[SPEAKER_11]: Trump chicken out ran away, ran to Scotland or something where he's got to go.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, my people have been trolling him.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, I hope so.
[SPEAKER_11]: I hope so.
[SPEAKER_03]: I hope so.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, no, they said.
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, they said.
[SPEAKER_11]: Uh, they said.
[SPEAKER_11]: Uh, they
[SPEAKER_11]: with us on this Friday.
[SPEAKER_11]: Even at thank you for coming in from wherever you happen to be, whether that is WCPT AMA-Twenty in Chicago, or hey, have an AM-Nine-Fifty Minneapolis Saint Paul, or maybe you're losing on America one radio in Atlanta, or D to or talk radio in Tennessee, or progressive, or voices radio worldwide, or hey, maybe you're one of those future people, in which case?
[SPEAKER_11]: Future future future.
[SPEAKER_11]: Thank you for listening on the podcast future people.
[SPEAKER_11]: Thank you for subscribing and remember you can get the podcast ad free at the politics bar dot com.
[SPEAKER_11]: All right, Jodie.
[SPEAKER_11]: So yeah, a hot ugly and sticky week and not just talking about the news has been some, you know, I mean, especially some of the content out there, but it has been the story is sticking as far as the abstine story.
[SPEAKER_03]: I know it's because it's delicious and that's the only region.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think it's some of it, but I still honestly, my, my feeling, especially from some of the Trump loving people that I know, the maga people that I have known, they really truly feel betrayed.
[SPEAKER_11]: they really feel.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, yeah, but I mean, it is, it's interesting to note who is getting it right and who is not as far as the commenting on that kind of thing.
[SPEAKER_11]: Doesn't surprise you that Pete Buttigieg former Secretary of Transportation, and hopefully someday president will, that doesn't surprise you that he is getting it right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Of course, it doesn't surprise me.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's Pete Buttigieg.
[SPEAKER_11]: He was on a podcast here.
[SPEAKER_11]: The people's cabinet with Dan Co.
[SPEAKER_11]: I was able to grab this, put this on the DVR, and let me get this up for you here.
[SPEAKER_11]: Hang on.
[SPEAKER_09]: The Epstein thing is an issue.
[SPEAKER_09]: He campaigned on.
[SPEAKER_09]: He made this big deal about, I'm going to come in and we're going to release these on day one.
[SPEAKER_09]: There's that event with Pam Bondy waving around the binders.
[SPEAKER_09]: I don't know the hose in these binders, but they went so much further than just saying like, oh, yeah, I'll do the right thing on that.
[SPEAKER_09]: The same way he's saying like, I'm going to
[SPEAKER_09]: bring peace to the Middle East or whatever, I don't know, maybe even as supporters did actually believe him on that.
[SPEAKER_09]: But on this, I think they believed him because he said he would create that paper trail for that.
[SPEAKER_09]: And that whole world view is based on this idea that there are powerful people who were involved with Jeffrey Epstein and he was going to fight them.
[SPEAKER_09]: But we all know for a fact that there were powerful people who were involved with Jeffrey Epstein, and he was one of them.
[SPEAKER_09]: This is not a controversial or it's complicated fact.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's a devastating statement.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, it's not just footage them like having their picture taken together someplace.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's footage of them like ogling with it and dancing.
[SPEAKER_09]: You know, so you add all that together, and I think, and then his response to the response has revealed how gullible he wants to think his own base is.
[SPEAKER_09]: And I think a lot of people look at that and say, wait a minute, this is not just like you insulting the lips, which you, you know, some of the supporters thrilled to.
[SPEAKER_09]: It's just a supporter saying, wait a minute, you're insulting me.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_09]: That's a whole different thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: Pete Buttigieg is right.
[SPEAKER_03]: President Pete eventually.
[SPEAKER_11]: Eventually.
[SPEAKER_11]: Look, he was he's a hundred percent.
[SPEAKER_11]: I used to be more worried that he was a little bit more corporateist.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I think being in the Biden administration at transportation.
[SPEAKER_11]: He definitely picked up a lot of the Biden and Obama education.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I don't just mean, you know, I don't think that he was dumb before, but there's a certain way of doing things that is very much more organized and progressive.
[SPEAKER_03]: Why did you think he was corporateist?
[SPEAKER_11]: There's certain things that he's done certain he used to work with.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, God, who is the consulting agency?
[SPEAKER_03]: There a bunch of... When he was the mayor of prior to that.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think it was prior to when he was mayor.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I mean, you know, you're working corporate America.
[SPEAKER_11]: You're right.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: And look, and the whole thing is as we all grow and change as we get older and quite frankly, I think with, you know, his being mayor and then being secretary of transportation, which he is much better than the current secretary of road rules.
[SPEAKER_03]: How many crashes were today or yesterday?
[SPEAKER_03]: And I have to fly in a month.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, my God.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm redoing my will soon, by the way, just because I'm getting on a plane in a month.
[SPEAKER_11]: Sad, but unfortunately, you're not the only one that's on that kind of thing.
[SPEAKER_11]: Anyhoo.
[SPEAKER_11]: So, Pete is right.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think the reason that they are mad is because they
[SPEAKER_11]: It, they're being insulted and rightfully so.
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, look, yeah, look, at least those of us on the left who thought they were stupid about politics were honest about saying that we thought they were stupid about politics.
[SPEAKER_11]: And we've said that we thought they were stupid about politics long before they came onto the scene with Donald Trump.
[SPEAKER_11]: He thinks they're stupid.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's where that's the betrayal is.
[SPEAKER_11]: He was supposed to be the guy that would get in there for them and tell the elites.
[SPEAKER_11]: No, you're the dumb ones and we know what's going on.
[SPEAKER_11]: No, no, no, no.
[SPEAKER_11]: He lied to them, said, I like you.
[SPEAKER_11]: Got in there and then said to the other elites, can you believe these pelucas?
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, he did like the poorly educated.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, well, there's a reason for that, obviously.
[SPEAKER_11]: Thing is, they, they know there's something more with all of this stuff.
[SPEAKER_11]: Obviously, Donald Trump, W. S. J. We have a link to it in the news on tap today, came out and said the Trump's name was discovered in the contributor list for the Epstein birthday book.
[SPEAKER_11]: Now, so it was Bill Clinton and a bunch of other real wealth.
[SPEAKER_03]: That is just, it is what it is.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.
[SPEAKER_03]: I want, I want the victims to talk.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, actually, some of them are one of them last night.
[SPEAKER_11]: Any farmer, she was on MSNBC and she did like a whole two part thing.
[SPEAKER_11]: We got the first parts.
[SPEAKER_11]: We got that video clip in the news on tap today.
[SPEAKER_11]: There are other, I've seen one on scene.
[SPEAKER_11]: And today I saw one on, um, kind of, was it spectrum or Bloomberg today?
[SPEAKER_11]: Multiple victims are stepping forward and saying, we want to see everything.
[SPEAKER_11]: And we go through that.
[SPEAKER_11]: And they're saying, we do not believe if G'sline Maxwell comes forward and says the Trump did nothing, nobody seems like on any side is going to believe that she was telling the truth.
[SPEAKER_11]: Nobody is going to believe she comes out and says, you know, just like Trump said nothing to see here because everybody knows the only motivation that she's got.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's to get out of jail.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's to get out of jail free card.
[SPEAKER_11]: Once again, Jody is right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Again, and the thing is, first off, she's a norm purgerer.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, yeah, exactly.
[SPEAKER_11]: So I mean, you know she's a liar.
[SPEAKER_11]: You know that she has committed sexual assault on multiple individuals.
[SPEAKER_11]: You know that, yes, and whether whether or not she herself had it happened or the fact that she did, there was no doubt that she didn't in my mind.
[SPEAKER_03]: But she also did other people.
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's what happens.
[SPEAKER_03]: The cycle of abuse continues.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's what happens.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: Doesn't excuse you from doing it though.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, no, she has no excuse.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I'm sad that she was probably a victim, but you know what you had some choices as an adult and you made those choices.
[SPEAKER_11]: And she made very bad ones.
[SPEAKER_03]: Really, really bad ones.
[SPEAKER_03]: And the thing is, is there's a thousand FBI agents that also know.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, there's all of that keeps going on.
[SPEAKER_03]: We only got ten or twelve.
[SPEAKER_03]: We don't need all of them.
[SPEAKER_11]: I was surprised the New York Times finally got a, a, they got something that Allison Gil didn't have, which I'm like, well, that's nice.
[SPEAKER_11]: We're only a big major, you know, or news organization, you should be able to do that.
[SPEAKER_11]: But we have a gift length for that as well.
[SPEAKER_11]: We do get flinks a lot.
[SPEAKER_11]: I know.
[SPEAKER_11]: You know, we, hey, I find them.
[SPEAKER_11]: You find them.
[SPEAKER_11]: We put them in there.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's what we do.
[SPEAKER_11]: Um, but there is a piece in there from the New York Times talks about how the, um, the Trump administration has, uh, they were scouring the Epstein files for a lot longer than people thought it didn't go back.
[SPEAKER_11]: It goes back before May.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: Basically as soon as they got in, it was let's bury this stuff.
[SPEAKER_11]: And the funny thing is, as you noted, and as of course, we heard from Allison earlier this week.
[SPEAKER_11]: There's a whole lot of people who know stuff that's out there.
[SPEAKER_11]: So anytime they try to bury this stuff, there's going to be a whole bunch of people like these other Epstein victims coming forward, you know, just make copies of the fight, whatever.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, there's there's a whole bunch of stuff.
[SPEAKER_11]: So Trump is he's failing at trying to get away from Epstein.
[SPEAKER_11]: He's failing at hiding the Epstein thing.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: he's also failing in the polls.
[SPEAKER_11]: Harry and who bless his heart.
[SPEAKER_11]: He's he's he's he's he's he's he's he's good sometimes he's bad sometimes if they let him do his job he's fine if he gets threatened then he does whatever the the folks in the executive office is say which unlike whatever but.
[SPEAKER_11]: He's got some good numbers well at least good for us not so good for Trump I got this I got this from CNN let me get this on the DVR here.
[SPEAKER_01]: So during the Biden administration I think there's a lot of thinking that that may be.
[SPEAKER_01]: enough focus wasn't being paid to the affected inflation had on people's thinking.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it may very well be that inflation's playing a bigger role in opinions than we recognize.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, so inflation in my mind was what cost Joe Biden presidency more than any other factor.
[SPEAKER_08]: And it brought him down.
[SPEAKER_08]: But guess what, Donald Trump at this point, his net operating on inflation among independent.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's actually worse than Biden's was a year ago.
[SPEAKER_08]: Biden was way, way on the water.
[SPEAKER_08]: But look at Trump and the average of polls on inflation.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh my goodness gracious.
[SPEAKER_08]: Mine is forty five points.
[SPEAKER_08]: I never thought I'd see the day, especially this early on in the Trump administration.
[SPEAKER_08]: The issue that in large part got him elected is that this point, the issue more so than any other that is dragging down.
[SPEAKER_08]: If this is what we have on midterm day come twenty twenty six.
[SPEAKER_08]: I can promise you this.
[SPEAKER_08]: The Republican majority in the House.
[SPEAKER_08]: You can wave audio semigos.
[SPEAKER_08]: Goodbye to it.
[SPEAKER_08]: because Republican simply put camp win with this number.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now I want to bounce my boobies because it's Friday.
[SPEAKER_11]: You know, oh, I know, I know, look, I heard that New York accent.
[SPEAKER_11]: I thought of Randy too.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I do hope that Randy is doing well.
[SPEAKER_11]: You know, I haven't heard from her lately, but she's going through some stuff.
[SPEAKER_11]: And she's busy trying to, you know, get healthy.
[SPEAKER_11]: So, you know,
[SPEAKER_11]: We send our best out there.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, always do.
[SPEAKER_11]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_11]: I do want to note, Harry and a lot of the media said, oh, the issue was inflation.
[SPEAKER_11]: It wasn't the issue was not inflation because inflation was not high under Biden.
[SPEAKER_11]: That is a BS live, but it was the appearance of inflation.
[SPEAKER_11]: It was the idea of inflation, which, by the way, was put there by lazy as people who are in the mainstream media.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's what we're talking about.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, well, and unfortunately, even in this case, like Harriet and seeing it, it wasn't inflation.
[SPEAKER_11]: It was the idea of inflation.
[SPEAKER_11]: But yes, the idea of inflation was scary.
[SPEAKER_11]: There is actually now starting to be more inflation, more actual inflation.
[SPEAKER_11]: And that's because Trump's choice is suck because he and Republicans don't have a government.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, in twenty twenty-one mind you, after we all started to come out of our shelves from COVID, there's a gas station about half a mile from my house.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: They were charging seven dollars in some change.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's surprised me.
[SPEAKER_03]: But the gas station by my house was doing it at six in some change.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: So because that place is more community and not offer freeway and not
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, and look, I mean, and there, there are, that's why there are laws and rules about gouging.
[SPEAKER_11]: That was why Kamala Harris, if she had been president, wanted to, you know, push through even more harsh restrictions on gouging to basically stop corporations and even smaller businesses who try to screw people.
[SPEAKER_03]: The windfall tax.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, look, all these kinds of ideas, but, you know, some people just couldn't get off their asses and go vote.
[SPEAKER_11]: So crazy idea about that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Eggs.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was all about eggs.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: We will look we will not talk about frying eggs on a sidewalk even though it is a hundred and hot out there.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm so sorry.
[SPEAKER_03]: I am eating.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's happy right now you have no idea.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm glad it is I'm glad it is nice at the LA end of the bar.

[SPEAKER_11]: So indeed, I know look Karen and I know are coming over tonight to hang out with us here at the bar, but the fun thing is
[SPEAKER_11]: We can hang it with our friends in a bar and talk about news and politics and this is our job.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's a good job.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, that's my thoughts.

[SPEAKER_11]: Plus, you're helping us eat.
[SPEAKER_11]: And that's a good thing.
[SPEAKER_11]: Lovely fighting.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: I have cats to feed children.
[SPEAKER_11]: I got a pup who likes to eat, too.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes, he does.
[SPEAKER_11]: Something that the the magas are doing or the, I don't know what you call it anymore because are they magas or they just trump people.
[SPEAKER_11]: They're having a magas civil war.
[SPEAKER_11]: They are eating their eating each other alive.
[SPEAKER_11]: House Republicans are a pistic Pam Bonnie.
[SPEAKER_11]: Trump, as I've mentioned, I've been saying this, and I haven't seen a whole lot of media pick this up.
[SPEAKER_11]: And then I saw a piece in notice, NOTUS.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's some other former people, Evan McNorris Santoro, who's done a lot of, he's been a number of places.
[SPEAKER_11]: He's one of their big people.
[SPEAKER_11]: Sure enough, notice, they've got some people in there, and they put out a piece.
[SPEAKER_11]: And we put it in the news on tap today that the Hexeth signal scandal is wearing on Trump officials.
[SPEAKER_11]: Some of her even openly saying they expect Hexeth to be shown the door.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's what I said.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think yesterday on, I don't know what show I do show.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, you and I, you and I have been, you might have, I think you might have said on Bob's, I think you said it here too in the bar.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but DOD is going after him now.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, we've been, we've been talking about this.
[SPEAKER_11]: You and I, and we've been talking about this here at the bar with the folks who've come through here over the last, I don't know, well, week ten days.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: And a lot of the rest of the mainstream is ignored it.
[SPEAKER_11]: And it's their piston.
[SPEAKER_11]: They're even more pissed because signal gates had came back and they're like, damn it.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's biting them in the butt.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I can say ask.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's biting them in the ass.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes, you can say ass on the radio.
[SPEAKER_11]: Ass is a perfectly fine word to say.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's only mine was shorter and higher and had a bubble, but still.
[SPEAKER_11]: I wasn't going to describe your ass.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, it's long going to like a paper plate.
[SPEAKER_03]: So there's that.
[SPEAKER_11]: This is another one of those moments where Bob Cesca would go, I am not getting into that conversation.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's in that one.
[SPEAKER_11]: The right is also having war on good government, the Trump regime here in the DC area of the bar.
[SPEAKER_11]: This is awful there.
[SPEAKER_11]: So they're going to close anywhere from two to four buildings, completely empty them, not know what to do with them.
[SPEAKER_11]: Basically, shattering the USDA, like they've been, they talked about doing it in the first regime and they got fought down by courts.
[SPEAKER_11]: And now, because the stupid ass illegitimate Supreme Court, whatever,
[SPEAKER_11]: basically they're going to try to move, uh, distribute if you will.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's the word.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, that's that's that's what they're saying, except what they don't consider is these twenty five hundred people who work at the Department of Agriculture and multiple buildings around the DC Metro area.
[SPEAKER_11]: They have spouses.
[SPEAKER_11]: They have partners.
[SPEAKER_11]: They have boyfriends from girlfriends and children.
[SPEAKER_11]: They go to school and parents that live here now because maybe they moved them here because they decided to make a life here.
[SPEAKER_11]: And they're like, Oh, well, we'll move you somewhere cheaper.
[SPEAKER_11]: But they're not necessarily picking up all the tabs on all those things.
[SPEAKER_11]: What they're going to end up doing is what has happened in other government agencies around here where the people here just say, you know, what's screw you?
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm going to go do something else.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm going to stop.
[SPEAKER_11]: So they will lose an enormous amount of intelligence and wisdom and experience from the Department of Agriculture.
[SPEAKER_11]: And they'll put them into buildings that if they do it like they've done around here where the building is not equipped properly, doesn't have enough
[SPEAKER_11]: Internet doesn't have enough spaces for parking doesn't have anything nearby for launches doesn't have anything for transit.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, we'll just throw them in Fort Collins and Salt Lake and somewhere in Indiana Indianapolis I think maybe but
[SPEAKER_11]: Anyway, they're, they're dumb as hell about this because they're like, well, you can just do your work wherever and like some department you can.
[SPEAKER_11]: There is a department.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, I'm the buildings that they want to get rid of here.
[SPEAKER_11]: Department of Agriculture building.
[SPEAKER_11]: They want to get rid of they do research.
[SPEAKER_11]: They have this whole area where they grow plants and things outside.
[SPEAKER_03]: You need the, yes.
[SPEAKER_03]: You need the place to do the research.
[SPEAKER_03]: You can't do that remotely.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: No, the look on your face of confusion and frustration is, you're not wrong.
[SPEAKER_11]: You're not wrong.
[SPEAKER_11]: Jody is right.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's why we say this a lot.
[SPEAKER_11]: But look, the fact is
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, they're doing this.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, the IRS thing.
[SPEAKER_11]: You and I both had had pieces that we saw on this.
[SPEAKER_11]: So the Trump regime is considering eliminating non-English language tax services to comply with Trump's executive order claiming that English is the official language.
[SPEAKER_03]: It is not technically the official language of this country.
[SPEAKER_11]: Jody is right again.
[SPEAKER_11]: Look, here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_11]: What?
[SPEAKER_11]: I saw, I've seen several people say this about executive orders.
[SPEAKER_11]: Executive orders apply to people who work in the executive office.
[SPEAKER_11]: They don't apply.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's not a Trump says it or whoever's in the presidency says it and boom, it's a law.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's not how executive orders work.
[SPEAKER_11]: And he's saying this and saying, well, English is the visual language.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, actually, no, there are multiple laws that say that the IRS is required to put out information in multiple languages.
[SPEAKER_03]: I remember Arizona tried to do that in the late eighties.
[SPEAKER_11]: California has tried, I think, more than once as well.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I voted that down.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a right.
[SPEAKER_11]: And they have ended up getting their asses kicked because there are plenty of laws that say because we had laws because what has happened in the past, what happened was?
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, has this happened?
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: What has happened was that in the past,
[SPEAKER_11]: People have had things, for example, with taxes, where the government says, well, we're only going to do it in some state governments as we're only going to do it in English.
[SPEAKER_11]: And so they decide to go after person X, who speaks, I don't know, Cantonese, let's say.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: And they go after them in the person Cantonese, and I try to reach out to them.
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't speak English.
[SPEAKER_11]: They refused to communicate with me or help me.
[SPEAKER_11]: Or help me, and I couldn't get the answers.
[SPEAKER_11]: So, F, and the court says, you know what?
[SPEAKER_11]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's on the government.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's not on the person.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's on the government to communicate properly correctly in a mode that the person can understand.
[SPEAKER_11]: Now, the person has to be wanting to try to reach out, but if they try to reach out on the government, it can give you the finger.
[SPEAKER_11]: Guess what?
[SPEAKER_11]: It's on the government.
[SPEAKER_03]: And by the way, I don't live in other countries, by the way, because I live here.
[SPEAKER_03]: But I assume in Germany, in France, in Japan, in China, in other places where if you don't speak German or French or Cantonese or Mandarin, and you only speak English, and you live there, they're going to accommodate you.
[SPEAKER_11]: There are, you know, a lot of in most first world nations, do you want to call it that?
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_11]: They work on accommodations because of the fact that they understand the same thing, which the same rule is, if the government is commanding you to do something, you need to understand.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's, it's like the idiots who go, I'm just going to yell at them in English louder.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh no, I used to date a guy from Germany.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm seeing some people here in Laf and you know, you know that people love it because everybody does that.
[SPEAKER_11]: You know, why don't you understand me?
[SPEAKER_03]: I literally tried to call a friend of mine who was living in Germany at the time.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I called his house.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was God in the eighties.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: And his lovely grandparents answered the phone.
[SPEAKER_11]: And there's an asked German.
[SPEAKER_03]: Is Maddie there?
[SPEAKER_11]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, my Tias.
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's all they knew.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then they started yelling in German louder to me.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I said, I don't spark as you doish.
[SPEAKER_03]: And they're like, oh, spark as you English.
[SPEAKER_03]: No.
[SPEAKER_11]: Nine.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're good.
[SPEAKER_03]: Bye.
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, it was a full-on buy, but they were trying to help.
[SPEAKER_03]: They really were their sweet.
[SPEAKER_11]: And that's nice.
[SPEAKER_11]: Look, I have, I have communicated with people in all kinds of languages.
[SPEAKER_11]: When I, when I used to work, so this is when I was still at the University of Nebraska, getting my, my broadcaster in Alexandria, and I worked at the computer shop.
[SPEAKER_11]: They had a shop where they, they sold Max and PCs and, you know, Linux machines and whatever, for all kinds of stuff.
[SPEAKER_11]: And it became known in the disability community that they would come in on days when they knew I was working.
[SPEAKER_11]: because they knew whatever their disability was, I'd work through it because I'm care.
[SPEAKER_11]: When my mom had her, her business, she used to sell baby furniture and accessories.
[SPEAKER_11]: Her business partner at the time, she, she has matured, but at the time, I had some issues with a little iffy with LGBTQ people and she was a little, you know, got a little scared of them.
[SPEAKER_11]: And my mom was not scared of it all.
[SPEAKER_11]: My mom was a nurse for most of her life, but my mom couldn't care less.
[SPEAKER_11]: And her partner was like, why don't they scare you?
[SPEAKER_11]: My mom says because their money is as green as anyone else's.
[SPEAKER_11]: And we're here doing a business.
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't care.
[SPEAKER_11]: And her partner was like, oh, oh, my mom was like, I don't care.
[SPEAKER_11]: So when I would work at the computer shop, you would have people come in who they were deaf.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I, you know, sign.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, but I for deaf.
[SPEAKER_11]: I know a little, but I what I would do as immediately as I was.
[SPEAKER_11]: I would grab a pad of paper.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'd grab a yellow legal pad and a perfect.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I'd be like, just hold on my finger and say, wait, and I'd write and then I present it to them.
[SPEAKER_11]: Just handing it to them.
[SPEAKER_11]: They're like, oh, this is great.
[SPEAKER_11]: Fine.
[SPEAKER_11]: We have this whole conversation back and forth.
[SPEAKER_11]: And they were pointing and gestures and people would come in with other languages with voice boxes.
[SPEAKER_11]: There was a guy who would always come in with his wheelchair and had automatic voice box or whatever.
[SPEAKER_11]: And it takes a little bit of time when they got the laser next to their head and they're pointing it at the thing.
[SPEAKER_11]: Now they do it like iPads and stuff, but whatever, I didn't care if I was waiting.
[SPEAKER_11]: I made sure that while I was sitting there in a moment while they were putting their words together, that I didn't look impatient, that I didn't
[SPEAKER_11]: I was just waiting.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's it's like talking with somebody who speaks very slowly and you just you go with it because their people like everybody else is and especially if you're there at a business.
[SPEAKER_11]: Everybody's money is green.
[SPEAKER_03]: You're a helper, which is a sign for help and earn.
[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_03]: Help, per help.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes, you should, you should, if you're hearing the bar, you can see that, but yes, it's, it's very, look, it's important to be able to communicate with people and the idea that we're going to have the IRS go and give people a finger.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, that just makes literally no sense because do they want money to come in?
[SPEAKER_03]: Do they want people to file their taxes?
[SPEAKER_03]: Sorry.
[SPEAKER_11]: I can't hit that enough.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, seriously, it's like this country is not English only.
[SPEAKER_03]: And by the way, in England, I'm sure they have it in other languages for them too.
[SPEAKER_11]: Because they have the same thing.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's the same thing as my mom and her business.
[SPEAKER_11]: You want the money?
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: You figure out a way to get it.
[SPEAKER_11]: For those of you who have traveled around the world to other places, oftentimes they speak broken English.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: People say, oh, well, look, if you speak broken whatever it is and trying to negotiate with them many times, I have talked to too many immigrants and people who I have run into a spoken broken English or whatever.
[SPEAKER_11]: And they say, honestly, I would appreciate if you're showing effort, if you're trying
[SPEAKER_11]: even if you're trying badly, at least you're trying.
[SPEAKER_11]: And you're saying, you say, I'm sorry, you know, things that you need to know are things like, please, and thank you, and I'm sorry, bathroom is important, beer is always important, but, you know, as long as you know a few words in your trying, they're like, okay, this person isn't complete a whole.
[SPEAKER_11]: But if you just sit there and I'm gonna yell English at you as loud as I can.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I was in Italy, thankfully, with my family.
[SPEAKER_03]: And we were in Rome in Rome.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I was at this store.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I wanted a jacket, but not the pants.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: They came with it.
[SPEAKER_03]: She didn't speak English.
[SPEAKER_11]: She wanted half the set.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_03]: She didn't speak English.
[SPEAKER_03]: I could not speak Italian, but we both spoke enough French.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: That she sold me the coat.
[SPEAKER_11]: And she got the money and you got the coat and everybody was happy.
[SPEAKER_03]: And we hugged.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was like, oh, we understand each other.
[SPEAKER_11]: It was like, because everybody wants to be understood.
[SPEAKER_11]: Everybody, everybody wants to be understood.
[SPEAKER_11]: That is a universal thing.
[SPEAKER_11]: And somebody given somebody else the finger because you don't speak the way I'm just
[SPEAKER_03]: and mark my words in it in Italy and in France and everywhere else, they have English translations as well as Chinese or Finnish or whatever it is.
[SPEAKER_11]: For those folks who are listening down to Orleans, look, if you're down to Orleans and you are, look, you go there or you go up near Quebec, you go and you'll have a lot of stuff that is in English and French because they know their audience, they know the people, they know their customers.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's, you know, has nothing to do with
[SPEAKER_11]: You know, whether somebody is, you know, woke or not, it has to do with the fact of, do you actually give a damn about getting the money from these people?
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, you know, I mean, IRS saying no to this is like the dumbest thing ever.
[SPEAKER_11]: It is because they'll go to court.
[SPEAKER_11]: And the judge will say, did you try to the person?
[SPEAKER_11]: The person will say, I try, but they insisted on speaking English and I don't speak English.
[SPEAKER_11]: And of course, there'll be a translator to say that.
[SPEAKER_11]: And the judge will look at the IRS and say, there are rules that say you're supposed to try this and you decided not to because why?
[SPEAKER_11]: Because Trump didn't executive order and they go, yeah, and it will.
[SPEAKER_11]: So it's so funny.
[SPEAKER_11]: If so, if you could read the story, it is in the news on tap today.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's Friday night here at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_11]: Let's do that drink on tap.
[SPEAKER_11]: Let's do that.
[SPEAKER_11]: Let's talk.
[SPEAKER_11]: Let's not.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_11]: Don't give me big thumbs up.
[SPEAKER_11]: We'll do that next for you here at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_11]: Get it on the round.
[SPEAKER_11]: Hang on.
[SPEAKER_06]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's the politics bar on a Friday night.
[SPEAKER_11]: We are very glad that you are coming here into the bar that you are here with us wherever you are.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes, those of you coming in make sure to shut the door.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's not out there.
[SPEAKER_11]: We're not air conditioning the outside people.
[SPEAKER_11]: My mother used to say that all the time.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, no.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's in my brain all the time.
[SPEAKER_11]: mothers and fathers teaching us to make sure we don't AC the outside I get that I get that totally understandable look you know they they they they they want to have to be cool they don't want the cost to be too expensive we don't want the cost to be too expensive either that's why the subscription to the politics bar that gets you the drink of the day is only six bucks a month
[SPEAKER_11]: It's very, very inexpensive and it gets you these wonderful recipes like today's drink the day.
[SPEAKER_11]: Kind of a dackery of sorts.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's sort of is.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it's Louise Joy Brown is what's our first test tube baby.
[SPEAKER_11]: First human test tube baby.
[SPEAKER_03]: They did like I think some apes and some rangatangs first, but she was our fish and she's alive and well mind you.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, today is her birthday?
[SPEAKER_03]: I guess.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, July, July, twenty fifth.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's her birthday.
[SPEAKER_03]: And so we have a weird drink called the test pilot.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, it's it's it's
[SPEAKER_03]: make some sense, right?
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, it makes sense because you know, she was the the first one for IVF, although I'm also glad that I won't go into other other other names of the drinks that it could have been.
[SPEAKER_11]: But look, test pilot.
[SPEAKER_03]: It sounds like she was a test pilot, right?
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, for IVF, indeed, and you know, we, we like, we like people being born by IVF, however you're born, you know, I don't not hatched.
[SPEAKER_11]: Look, some of the folks that they're joking, you know, we joke about the alien, you know, whatever, but yeah, and sometimes you wonder with Donald anyway.
[SPEAKER_03]: Don't want to start and rest in an alien, but.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, yeah, we'll have to talk about that, too.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay, so drink the day today.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, so you need to use a test pilot.
[SPEAKER_03]: It is called a test pilot, so you need a chilled old fashioned glass, which we haven't used those much.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's kind of the the shorter and faster one.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, it's for whiskey drinkers mainly.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm saying a shaker with ice ice for the drink and you need it.
[SPEAKER_03]: One and a half ounces of Jamaican aged blended rum with funk.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know what that means.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's just part of the rest.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's basically you got to get Jamaican rum aged rum and if it's a little bit spiced, that's fine.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_11]: Does that make sense?
[SPEAKER_11]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's really gorgeous.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a drink.
[SPEAKER_03]: Recorded with an out of light white rum.
[SPEAKER_10]: Okay, the good stuff turtle filter.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, the quarter after the quantra or triple sec, which we talked about yesterday.
[SPEAKER_10]: Got it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Difficult.
[SPEAKER_03]: Full layer.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, lick your.
[SPEAKER_11]: I have seen it on the bar.
[SPEAKER_11]: I do not know what it is like.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's specific.
[SPEAKER_03]: So there is a link to it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: They kind of make it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Interesting.
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's a quarter ounce lemon juice.
[SPEAKER_03]: Freshly squeezed.
[SPEAKER_03]: Could be like that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_11]: And one little lime and clove in it, I guess.
[SPEAKER_03]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_11]: All right.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then one lime zest whisk which you've already done.
[SPEAKER_11]: Got it.
[SPEAKER_03]: See, you pour all the ingredients into the shaker.
[SPEAKER_03]: Shake it as we know.
[SPEAKER_03]: How to do that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Children, we've already done this.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes, teacher Jodi.
[SPEAKER_03]: We've already done this kids.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then you strain it into a ice-filled old fashioned glass because that's a new glass for us.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then express the limed twist over the cocktail and use it as garnish.
[SPEAKER_03]: And you can go.
[SPEAKER_03]: Louise Joy Brown.
[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you for being here.
[SPEAKER_11]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_11]: And thank you to all of the people born via IVF.
[SPEAKER_11]: Some of whom I am certain are subscribers to the drink of the day, which you can be to just check it out at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_03]: And by the way, Donald does not like IVF because he doesn't like abortion, which is a whole
[SPEAKER_11]: See, I was going to go into it.
[SPEAKER_11]: So one of the drinks that I used to drink in college was, Scott, was that there was one that was called a leftover abortion one that was called a brain hemorrhage.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, no, I know how to make a brain hemorrhage.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, I used to like when they had a red wolf beer.
[SPEAKER_11]: I would have a red wolf beer and a brain hemorrhage.
[SPEAKER_11]: And you could get those for five bucks at the bar that was across the street from co college and Cedar Rapids Iowa where I went from first two years.
[SPEAKER_11]: The name of the bar, by the way, was the sip and stir.
[SPEAKER_11]: Only we would always call it the slip and slur because, well, obvious.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I went to a town in North Dakota.
[SPEAKER_03]: North Dakota and there were two bars.
[SPEAKER_11]: Uh-huh.
[SPEAKER_03]: And there was one bar, and then the other one was literally called the other bar.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: And that bar closed down, and I'm very upset.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, you know, look, when you only have one choice, call it bar.
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, I get it, but that's, you know, the other bar was better, obviously.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a better title, isn't it?
[SPEAKER_11]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_03]: I miss the other bar.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was sweet.
[SPEAKER_11]: it is Friday night here at the politics bar we do have more politics going on uh... game makeup artist entry Hernandez Romero he has been freed from ccot uh... there's a whole piece about the disasters and horrors going on there and gonna run the sances down in florida has proudly announced dhs is flying migrants out of florida's out get her alcatraz he won't say where they're flying them to so maybe they're flying to ccot again we don't know
[SPEAKER_03]: I just, okay, first off I'm glad that Andre is safely out of sea caught, but he's also not safely in Venezuela.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, right, and he's going to get somewhere else at least I'm fairly sure.
[SPEAKER_03]: So I mean, his parents are so happy he's home.
[SPEAKER_11]: He can't be too close to the United States.
[SPEAKER_11]: We have another piece in the news on tap today, a man in Quebec.
[SPEAKER_11]: So
[SPEAKER_11]: For those of you who don't know your geography, that will cool back just on the other side of River in upstate New York.
[SPEAKER_11]: Dude was fishing.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: Cause you know, that's what people do when there's rivers and stuff.
[SPEAKER_11]: The U.S.
[SPEAKER_11]: Coast Guard said, no, no, you're fishing on our waters on our side.
[SPEAKER_11]: And he's like, no, I'm on my side.
[SPEAKER_11]: Typical dispute, you know, whatever.
[SPEAKER_11]: And most of the time, it's solved by somebody saying, apologize.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'll get on my side.
[SPEAKER_11]: Whatever.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's fine.
[SPEAKER_11]: No, no, U.S.
[SPEAKER_11]: Coast Guard grabbed the guy jailed him.
[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: He's a Canadian.
[SPEAKER_11]: He was fishing in on in his waters.
[SPEAKER_03]: And by the way, normally if you're like, hey, you're in US waters, you just say get out of US waters.
[SPEAKER_11]: You don't shock people and take them is they say we believe you're in US waters and yet there's there's a whole procedure and and whatever.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, you don't just grab them and throw them in.
[SPEAKER_03]: No.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, they're claiming he bumped their boat.
[SPEAKER_11]: whatever.
[SPEAKER_11]: I. I'm sorry to him.
[SPEAKER_11]: He's Canadian.
[SPEAKER_11]: I believe him.
[SPEAKER_11]: True.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I'm sorry, but especially given all of the ridiculousness out there, I do not give anybody with CBP or even Coast Guard doing those kinds of things.
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't give them the benefit down anymore.
[SPEAKER_11]: Or a Coast East.
[SPEAKER_03]: What I hear like hardcore helicopters flying over my house.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, am I being invaded?
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not kidding.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like when Biden was in, I'm like, oh, it's a fire.
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, it's something important.
[SPEAKER_11]: There's, there's very definitely a difference of of thinking what's going on.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: With, with sounds like that.
[SPEAKER_11]: But speaking of, speaking of sounds, shifting to some entertainment news.
[SPEAKER_11]: Sad to hear Chuck Manjeeone mentioned it yesterday.
[SPEAKER_11]: We got a nice little piece up that ABC, GMA did this morning on Chuck Manjeeone.
[SPEAKER_11]: Pass.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was so good.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, well, feels so good.
[SPEAKER_11]: You know, that was his big hit, but he did a lot of other things, too.
[SPEAKER_11]: He did music for amazing.
[SPEAKER_11]: Nineteen, eighty Olympics.
[SPEAKER_11]: He was a, a, a, a some for eighty four.
[SPEAKER_11]: He did, he did all kinds of different background music stuff.
[SPEAKER_11]: It wasn't just that one pop hit.
[SPEAKER_11]: Really, the, the, the, the, the advent of what people call smooth jazz in the nineties, which, you know, Dave Cos, if you were a big Dave Cos fan, I kind of think it a lot of that started with Chuck Mangio.
[SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely, and he was apparently a really nice human.
[SPEAKER_11]: I have a friend, Josh, same guy I've mentioned before, who is the program director for Burning Man Radio, who's down in Tauce.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think he's actually a DJing, club DJing a gig tonight in Tauce, I believe.
[SPEAKER_11]: But he's fantastic, Josh is great.
[SPEAKER_11]: When he was a kid, he actually bumped into Chuck Manjoan, literally.
[SPEAKER_11]: Like I guess, his dad was doing something in a radio station, I guess his dad was a DJ.
[SPEAKER_11]: And Chuck Manjoen was there and he came around corner and just pooh, like just not ran into him.
[SPEAKER_11]: And he's like he totally smelled a pot and and patchouli and but he said, but he was like the nicest guy.
[SPEAKER_11]: And then I guess he because of of his dad and running into him like that, a ran into him.
[SPEAKER_11]: couple of other times, I guess, I mean, he's older or something and, and, you know, Chuck was always nice.
[SPEAKER_11]: He said he was always nice.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, a friend of mine is a trumpet player.
[SPEAKER_03]: And like, that's Chuck Manjani is this guy, you know, a trumpet or a fugal horn?
[SPEAKER_11]: Uh, yes.
[SPEAKER_11]: Fugal horn, although I think of it as fugal horn, because of fugal saying.
[SPEAKER_03]: Fugal saying horn.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, it's a flew horn.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's L-U, but yeah, it's, but yeah, I mean, man, John, it just, he's, he's a very good musician.
[SPEAKER_11]: So there's a magazine and it's at Aussie, him, and Malcolm Jamal, and we will not talk about Hulk because, well, look, I, you know, look, A-G posted something last night where somebody pissed her off about that and I said, and I thought it was dumb because they were attacking her because she was like, you know, don't, don't talk to me with that.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I get that.
[SPEAKER_11]: I also get the people who mourn for like we were talking about last night here in the bar, mourn for the eighties mourn for when they could.
[SPEAKER_11]: When they looked up to him, when they were like, you know, look at how, look at how many of the wrestlers who did not have good health did all kinds of, you know, bad drug steroids, coke and whatever and
[SPEAKER_11]: And we didn't know that at the time.
[SPEAKER_11]: It was fun.
[SPEAKER_11]: It was joy read had a really good piece on her newsletter, which we've got it.
[SPEAKER_11]: We still got to see we've got to keep reaching out to Joy.
[SPEAKER_11]: She's so, she's so busy, but yes, hopefully we'll get here in the bar.
[SPEAKER_11]: But she had a great piece on her newsletter that came out here.
[SPEAKER_11]: There's last night this morning, something like that.
[SPEAKER_11]: There was talking about that about how
[SPEAKER_11]: You know, there are so many people in rock and rap and hip hop, politicians and other things who were at that phase.
[SPEAKER_11]: We're, you know, we're in our fifties and a lot of the people who we grew up with, that were famous, that were infamous, have gone, have disappeared.
[SPEAKER_11]: And it is, it's a weird place to be in in life.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, so Francis Calier from Frangela.
[SPEAKER_03]: We heard daughter loved Hulk Hogan.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then she found out that he didn't like her.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think I heard that today on on-step show, yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I've known that for a while.
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's just, it broke her daughter's heart.
[UNKNOWN]: Right.
[SPEAKER_03]: That he didn't like people like her and her mother.
[SPEAKER_11]: when you have when you're in a public that hurts when you think somebody's amazing and then you realize they don't like people like you your mom and dad I think must have taught you this from a time you were little about things things that things that
[SPEAKER_11]: other people who look, I didn't have anybody in my family that in my direct family who was famous or infamous who had for anything.
[SPEAKER_11]: And so I learned some of this stuff myself from my mentors and from other people and from watching people who I respected in entertainment.
[SPEAKER_11]: But that's one of the things that you learn is
[SPEAKER_11]: Don't do those kinds of things.
[SPEAKER_11]: Don't don't be a racist.
[SPEAKER_11]: If you're a racist and your famous, be a very quiet racist.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, the very quiet.
[SPEAKER_03]: When my sister Carrie, I mean, we only have a minute left.
[SPEAKER_03]: When my sister Carrie was like five to six years old.
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, she was at our grandma school, our grade school, doing a production.
[SPEAKER_03]: And she said to my mom and dad, oh, no, that's my friend, the pink dress.
[SPEAKER_03]: She happened to be black.
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh-huh, but she just said that's my friend the pink dress.
[SPEAKER_11]: Uh-huh.
[SPEAKER_03]: And my parents look at each other.
[SPEAKER_03]: They're like, we're ready to take her right.
[SPEAKER_11]: Say again.
[SPEAKER_03]: She said by mom looked at my dad.
[SPEAKER_11]: They were raising her right.
[SPEAKER_03]: We raised her right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Basically, she said that's a girl in the pink dress.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but that's it.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's I guess I missed that the first time because that's kind of exactly how I would think too.
[SPEAKER_03]: But I think it was Cindy Puthier's daughter.
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't know, but it was like- No, that's- Look, that is the right way to think.
[SPEAKER_11]: At least, at least in our book.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, she was only five, and she was like, that's my favorite thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's my favorite dress, you know?
[SPEAKER_11]: It's my girl.
[SPEAKER_11]: Look, we've got, we've got to go pay some bills.
[SPEAKER_11]: We got to collect some glasses.
[SPEAKER_11]: We've got whole, another round coming up.
[SPEAKER_11]: We have Karen and Anita coming up.
[SPEAKER_11]: We have more news on taps.
[SPEAKER_11]: Some good news for you as well.
[SPEAKER_11]: Fresh in your drink.
[SPEAKER_11]: Come back.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's a Friday night.
[SPEAKER_11]: And we are very glad you are with us here at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_12]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_11]: Friday, we got three more segments here hanging out with all these wonderful people at the bar and then we can clean up and then we can go sleep.
[SPEAKER_03]: or bounce or movies like Randy.
[SPEAKER_11]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_11]: I will I will probably be sleeping as supposed to the bouncing thing just because I'm it's been a long ass week.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, no, I have people coming over after the show for dinner.
[SPEAKER_11]: Seriously, like after tonight.
[SPEAKER_11]: So when after Karen and I come in, you got people coming in after that doing a late late dinner.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, it's not super late.
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, you know, it's kind of late, but
[SPEAKER_11]: It is Friday night at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_11]: We have more news on tap for you as well.
[SPEAKER_11]: Karen need her coming in actually Karen's already here.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, sure.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'll grab the door for no big deal because you know, we are doing.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh my god.
[SPEAKER_10]: I love your
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes, Karen.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm your South Park.
[SPEAKER_11]: Karen is, yes, she's joining us from the South Park end of a bar this evening.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we got you an early young lady.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes, with an interesting hat.
[SPEAKER_11]: I love it.
[SPEAKER_03]: I love it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Refuse fascism.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_11]: Excellent.
[SPEAKER_03]: Because it's so cold in Chicago right now.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, I'm like, you're wearing a leather jacket.
[SPEAKER_11]: Is it, is it?
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I know what actually I'm in my basement, and it's freezing down here.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is so hot outside, but you know, like we don't, we don't have zone, uh, eight, eight.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's really cold in my basement.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, that's tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_02]: Really comfortable.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's smart.
[SPEAKER_11]: That is a Midwest thing.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_11]: If you got, if you got the right house like that, then you can go down there in the summertime.
[SPEAKER_11]: That is, that is.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we don't do them here in California because of the earthquakes.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.
[SPEAKER_03]: I get that.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's Friday nights.
[SPEAKER_11]: We're hoping in there are no earthquakes or, you know, tornadoes.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, we are so overdue.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, yeah, but don't say that.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's like that's that's always like when people say about, you know, weather things and they go, oh, we're overdue.
[SPEAKER_11]: To me, that's like when somebody says, you know, it couldn't get worse.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm like never.
[SPEAKER_03]: Could be right.
[SPEAKER_11]: Never, never tempt fate like that because fate goes.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh no honey, we are.
[SPEAKER_11]: I know, but you don't, you don't have to say it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh no, you don't because when you say things could get worse.
[SPEAKER_11]: Fake goes really?
[SPEAKER_11]: Let's have some.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I don't want it to get worse.
[SPEAKER_03]: I just know that we are.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, right, but that's that's why I generally just as a, you know, one of those, it may be it's a superstition thing is, but I just when somebody says, you know, it could be worse.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, don't see that.
[SPEAKER_11]: Do you want around three times and pat your head and go outside and see the anger, the anger, the gods from the thing on high.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I know the gods are with us so far.
[SPEAKER_11]: And let's hope so, let's hope so.
[SPEAKER_11]: The guys were actually not with some of the entertainment stuff.
[SPEAKER_11]: Unfortunately, the stupid ass paramount deal went through hundreds of job cuts coming down from these folks.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's what sucks about it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, and it's there there are so many things that suck many of them that we've talked about this week.
[SPEAKER_11]: But there was a specific person who was talking about some of the stuff that sucks this week with this deal because so one of the conditions of of being allowed by the Trump regime FCC and their douchebag.
[SPEAKER_11]: FCC commissioner said basically came out and said it.
[SPEAKER_11]: He's he's a real brand in cars and real piece of junk.
[SPEAKER_11]: But yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: He basically said that, yeah, they want to bias things towards the right.
[SPEAKER_11]: And Anna Gomez, who is another FCC commissioner, she's not the head of the FCC.
[SPEAKER_11]: She's not the head of the FCC.
[SPEAKER_11]: She was over on MSNBC today and she put it out there.
[SPEAKER_11]: She was not afraid to actually put out exactly what the Republicans are trying to do with this condition in the merger.
[SPEAKER_11]: Here it is.
[SPEAKER_11]: Hang on.
[SPEAKER_00]: But we are seeing as a weaponization of the FCC's regulatory authority to retaliate and to control the content of news media organizations.
[SPEAKER_00]: So in this transaction, what this administration was able to get was a condition that has never before seen control of editorial decisions in the newsroom content.
[SPEAKER_00]: They want the news media to report on them in a positive light or in a light that they want.
[SPEAKER_00]: So they don't want the media to do their job, which is to hold government to account without fear of favor.
[SPEAKER_11]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: And it goes as is right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, this is where we are.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is what fascists do exactly exactly.
[SPEAKER_11]: This is indeed what fascists do, but you know, fascists, for example, would not let Anita in the bar early as well, but we are letting Anita in.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think she's she's in the the four year.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a chair.
[SPEAKER_04]: There's a chair.
[SPEAKER_04]: He started the party without me.
[SPEAKER_04]: We are young ladies.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: We got plenty of drinks here.
[SPEAKER_11]: It is after all the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_04]: How was your week been?
[SPEAKER_04]: It's been exciting.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm quite not exciting, but.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, is it good exciting or bad exciting?
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, it's just been like always with Trump, but it's been even more.
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, it's been just like on steroids.
[SPEAKER_11]: Or like the phrase that that one of my oldest friends Rick, he and I have said this for years.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's like tickle torture with a chainsaw slightly amusing, but mostly painful.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: And honestly, going to all this, it just seems so dirty and gross.
[SPEAKER_04]: Really.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: All the same stuff.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_11]: So that's that we were, we were just talking.
[SPEAKER_11]: And before you came into bar here about this, this FCC approving the paramount merger with Skydance and the thing that they did.
[SPEAKER_11]: So they set up a minder.
[SPEAKER_11]: A, um, God, what do you want to call it?
[SPEAKER_11]: Ambootsman.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's a great.
[SPEAKER_11]: That will quote unquote, look at bias on all of a paramounts products, which basically says that that they want to to make sure that they're looking at the bias and then putting it on the side of the right wingers.
[SPEAKER_04]: of course, because they only see bias when they think it's, you know, hurting their side.
[SPEAKER_04]: They're, you know, the right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: It makes, makes me makes my blood curdle.
[SPEAKER_11]: I just, it says, it says to me, look,
[SPEAKER_11]: I may just, you know, do do kind of a quiet block.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, of sorts of, especially most of the CBS stuff because I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_11]: CBS being a legacy news organization.
[SPEAKER_11]: Jody and I were talking about.
[SPEAKER_11]: We were talking about this today before we open up the bar.
[SPEAKER_11]: So there are certain people out there, especially the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, right.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, but here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_11]: You can't get rid of all the establishment because that's just then you have as you said, Johnny, would you say anarchy?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's because you have no foundation.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, we, you know, I have nieces and nephews and they all tend to be over to the left.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you know, my niece, I got into it with her.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a cup a few years ago.
[SPEAKER_02]: And before actually before a twenty twenty and you know she just said I said so what's the solution you know because she was afraid a secondary to the establishment Democrats and yeah and she said she goes I said to burn it down she goes yeah burn it down and I said listen young lady
[SPEAKER_02]: And then who gets to build it?
[SPEAKER_02]: And you do you understand the people that are going to be the most impacted and be in danger when that happens.
[SPEAKER_02]: You can take your nose ring out and you can blend in with the rest of the folks because I mean, she looks a lot like me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Her called your right hair, you know, fair skin.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I said, you know, you're not going to be the one targeted.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, it's going to be black and brown people and people that do not look like us and do not have the protection and privilege that we have.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I have my my daughter's boyfriends like that.
[SPEAKER_04]: He thinks he's a libertarian.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, he just hates government and everything.
[SPEAKER_04]: What do you, what do you say from those roads?
[SPEAKER_04]: Right, right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, my granny's was like that before before she transitioned, she was like a full on anarchist.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm like, oh, honey.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's why she's young people, though.
[SPEAKER_04]: My, well, it's, it's some young people, you realize you need Social Security, you know, I mean, some of my friends.
[SPEAKER_04]: died on Social Security and Medicare, okay?
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, right, right, but she, but she still say nobody else should have something.
[SPEAKER_11]: Now she, she would say now I should, but nobody else, but well, right, I'm a friend or you.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, right, right, but my, well, they started becoming the materialians because it was an opposition to the civil rights moment.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's what that was.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, and that's just racism.
[SPEAKER_11]: Let's be honest.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's what it's always been the bait that it's always been our problem.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's been it's always been a problem but far more on the right, but it is now.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, you know, we've never reckoned with it.
[SPEAKER_02]: We've never reckoned with it.
[SPEAKER_04]: If you look at FDR and how much you accomplish, you accomplish that because it didn't have to deal with civil rights.
[SPEAKER_04]: We did deal with civil rights.
[SPEAKER_04]: He couldn't at that time.
[SPEAKER_04]: So when LBJ did, you saw the backlash is still going on.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, after he did, he did some things knowing that he could go beyond.
[SPEAKER_11]: Now he wasn't, I'm not saying that he was some type of social justice warrior, but FDR did, and he was able to get some things that would benefit other people through in part because of the depth of this oppression and in part because
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, he had, he had, but, but he was, he was handicapped and a lot of people forget that he was handicapped and most of our history oftentimes glosses that over, but he was very handicapped.
[SPEAKER_11]: The big difference that he was able to do it, however, was he had, we had so many Democrats because the, the Senate and the House, he had so much because it was, he didn't have to deal with civil rights.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, that's my point, but I'm saying he you have white people in the sound voting for FDR.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, in turn, he voted for L. B. J. But then when they when he passed that civil rights movement, my mother, my mother and all and forget her saying and I've heard this before.
[SPEAKER_04]: They're from West Virginia and she said, Oh, the last Democrat we voted for was John of Kennedy.
[SPEAKER_04]: Of course it was.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Of course it was.
[SPEAKER_11]: But because of what I'm saying is, is FDR got some of that stuff done and knowing that it would benefit people who white and he did it, but he didn't do it on an explicitly civil rights thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, I'm not saying FDR was the problem.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not saying that he did that on purpose.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm just going to help white people.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm just saying.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, and of course, but why people once they felt like, oh, if you helped the black people and of course, Republicans,
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, that's what that the seven strategy was all about.
[SPEAKER_11]: No, we're dealing with all of the racism stuff.
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, we're dealing with all of the hell we're dealing with the racism stuff from freaking Superman these days.
[SPEAKER_11]: But my thought is is more the thing that I was initially getting into on all of this was that the logic problem, especially about people who we want young people to be involved in the politics, we need them to be involved in our politics.
[SPEAKER_11]: But my dad used to do this to me when I was young and, you know, and he would say, and then what?
[SPEAKER_11]: Because I would say, okay, well, we should do this and this and he goes, okay, fine.
[SPEAKER_11]: He says, wow.
[SPEAKER_11]: So how would you do that?
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, I do this.
[SPEAKER_11]: He go, okay, and then what?
[SPEAKER_11]: And I go, well, I'm, well, then we do this.
[SPEAKER_11]: He go, okay, and then what?
[SPEAKER_11]: He would jump on the end of whatever I said and he's up backing me into a cul-de-sac, an intellectual cul-de-sac.
[SPEAKER_11]: I have this plan.
[SPEAKER_04]: This plan.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: You're like a Bernie Sanders plan.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: And you get there and you get there and it's it's the belly and the cat theory again.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's the idea of.
[SPEAKER_04]: But your father did that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Your father did that.
[SPEAKER_04]: The problem is we don't have enough parents that actually talk about politics.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: And for some reason it is.
[SPEAKER_04]: My good, too.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, our school.
[SPEAKER_04]: And that's why we're here right now.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_11]: It is what that is doing is is teaching people civics education.
[SPEAKER_11]: And it's important to teach civics education.
[SPEAKER_11]: Because, you know, look, I had a neighbor I argued with once who said, you know, you can have private corporations without government.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I was like, no, you can't among other things.
[SPEAKER_11]: We didn't discuss as the fact that corporations are legal entity and law is created by government.
[SPEAKER_11]: So
[SPEAKER_04]: have to have to roll off.
[SPEAKER_04]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_11]: All right.
[SPEAKER_11]: We're going to, we're going to talk about more of this stuff.
[SPEAKER_11]: It is Friday nights.
[SPEAKER_11]: We've got a couple more segments until we all roll on home.
[SPEAKER_11]: We've got more of the news on tap.
[SPEAKER_11]: And look, Karen, are here early.
[SPEAKER_11]: We're hanging out with you in a politics bar.
[SPEAKER_11]: Get your drink fresh and up.
[SPEAKER_11]: And, you know, if you have to use the facilities just to, you know, we aim to please here.
[SPEAKER_11]: Just make sure you aim to.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_11]: Come on back.
[SPEAKER_11]: Hang on.
[SPEAKER_06]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar.
[SPEAKER_11]: South Park was, it was very good.
[SPEAKER_11]: Karen has on her background here on zoom, which I know you guys, you know, some of you folks in the bar, fact everybody here in the bar, because we're just in radio right now, but you can't see it, but we can see it, and she's got a little South Park, a homage.
[SPEAKER_03]: And by the way, everybody, by the way, everybody, Anita has a great rack.
[SPEAKER_02]: She does.
[SPEAKER_11]: She does.
[SPEAKER_04]: She does.
[UNKNOWN]: She does.
[SPEAKER_04]: She does.
[SPEAKER_11]: She does.
[SPEAKER_04]: She does.
[SPEAKER_11]: She does.
[SPEAKER_04]: She does.
[SPEAKER_11]: You guys have said that, yes.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_04]: I couldn't see it, but I was told.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, you know, everybody's kind of, you know, I can visualize it now.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: And apparently he's frontal nudity.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: He has little thing talks.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, my God.
[SPEAKER_04]: Is it really like it's AI?
[SPEAKER_11]: I guess it's it's it was either AI or I don't know exactly what they did.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't want to know.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not going to ask.
[SPEAKER_03]: But you know what?
[SPEAKER_11]: It was a brilliant show.
[SPEAKER_11]: Satire.
[SPEAKER_04]: You know what?
[SPEAKER_11]: The whole thing was a brilliant satire.
[SPEAKER_04]: It makes me understand and okay.
[SPEAKER_11]: So, supposedly that Sherry Redstone, that it went all the way up to Sherry Redstone and she was like, whatever, did this is what she was doing.
[SPEAKER_04]: She sold the company already.
[SPEAKER_04]: I heard they thought about it though for four days.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's legal for four days.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's what I heard too.
[SPEAKER_11]: But at the same time.
[SPEAKER_11]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, maybe they maybe because they were on the eve of that.
[SPEAKER_04]: It was right before the settlement, they went through.
[SPEAKER_04]: So maybe they did already, they knew that that was already in the bag.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: Go for it because it was late coming out.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I think I think that was part of it is that the timing was just right in that window.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, but it's also, I mean, it is South Park.
[SPEAKER_11]: This is what they paid for.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, what are they going to do, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: They just signed.
[SPEAKER_02]: They just signed the contract five years.
[SPEAKER_03]: Ten episodes a year for one point five billion.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's what that's what Trump says.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's what the White House would pay one point five billion dollars for something and nobody paying one point five billion for something that's irrelevant.
[SPEAKER_04]: Now, why would you even address it if it was so irrelevant?
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, exactly.
[SPEAKER_11]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: It hurt his feelings.
[SPEAKER_04]: to see if that more people should do that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me, be me
[SPEAKER_11]: something I'm going to be watching this weekend I'm I'm I'm still I'm probably going to wait until the fantastic four movie comes out for home viewing just because I'm like I I'm scared it's going to be not great.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, so I'm like I've heard anything.
[SPEAKER_11]: Some people don't I made twenty four point four million in previews that that beats Superman for biggest really this year.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, so I'm right.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right, but at the same period Pascal
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: And there are people who are going to see it who are great big Marvel fans who, you know, they, they are to Marvel what MAGA has been previously, but before this to Donald Trump, you know, Marvel could call great big turd and well, I, I like Marvel, but I've never been a fantastic, fantastic for person.
[SPEAKER_04]: Fantastic four.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I don't argue better than DC, but, you know, look, I know Cartoon.
[SPEAKER_11]: So one of one of my oldest cartoonist friends, his name is Bob Hall.
[SPEAKER_11]: I've mentioned him here before.
[SPEAKER_11]: He is actually a cartoon legend.
[SPEAKER_11]: You know, he goes back to the days of Stanley and he goes, yeah, I mean, he, he knew all the people.
[SPEAKER_11]: He used to draw the fantastic four.
[SPEAKER_14]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_14]: Because I was never a fantastic four.
[SPEAKER_14]: Come, you know why?
[SPEAKER_14]: I don't know, just didn't separate me, but not together.
[SPEAKER_14]: I didn't, it didn't appeal to me.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's one of the reasons, it's one of the reasons that both comic imprints had different groups that they had different because some some appealed to some groups of people and some appealed to others.
[SPEAKER_11]: And so they would look at the demographics and look at who was buying the comics and went, okay, do this.
[SPEAKER_11]: You know, whatever, each, there's everybody's got their own thing.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm one of the things that I'm happy about Happy Gilmore, too, is out on Netflix this weekend.
[SPEAKER_11]: Now, I put a review in this today in the entertainment section of the news on tap, because the reviewer says the movie is terrible, but the people who like Happy Gilmore, the first one, will love this one.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, that's what it's about.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's, it's, it's what's called fan service.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: You make, you make the fans happy.
[SPEAKER_11]: The last Beverly Hills cop movie.
[SPEAKER_11]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's true.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: And there's a lot of movies like that.
[SPEAKER_11]: There is nothing wrong with a fan service movie.
[SPEAKER_11]: Good Lord.
[SPEAKER_03]: I did just watch, by the way, the freakier Friday.
[SPEAKER_03]: trailer.
[SPEAKER_11]: I see some trailer.
[SPEAKER_11]: The new trailer that came out from the crew for writing.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I was like, why are they doing this?
[SPEAKER_03]: And then act.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think I want to see it.
[SPEAKER_03]: It looks funny.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, is it?
[SPEAKER_03]: It's Jamie Curtis and Liz and Lauren again.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Again.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then there's new actors.
[SPEAKER_03]: And there's a different switch.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I, it looks like a full way switch.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a four way switch, which is kind of different.
[SPEAKER_03]: and the whole idea.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm not a fan of remakes because Haley Mills was great in the first one.
[SPEAKER_03]: But, yes, because I'm that old.
[SPEAKER_03]: But, me too.
[SPEAKER_03]: But, um, I'm that looked funny.
[SPEAKER_03]: I even said, oh, I'm like, wait, this looks funny.
[SPEAKER_11]: I really like to see, I, I just personally like to see Lindsay Lohan just, um, filing her way to.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: She's sober again.
[SPEAKER_03]: So she's well.
[SPEAKER_03]: She's sober again.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, she's doing well.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think she was doing, uh, being a mom for a little bit, doing things.
[SPEAKER_03]: She's doing well.
[SPEAKER_11]: She was doing things in Europe.
[SPEAKER_11]: Um, yeah, she's doing well.
[SPEAKER_11]: She wants, she wants, now she wants to do.
[SPEAKER_03]: It doesn't matter to you, I hear.
[SPEAKER_03]: I know.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a little smart in yours.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a very spectacular.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think one looks bigger on that.
[SPEAKER_11]: Being the man in this group, you know, I shouldn't necessarily say, but yes, you have a guy.
[SPEAKER_11]: Once again, Joey is right.
[SPEAKER_02]: I almost fell off my bar stool.
[SPEAKER_11]: There are some confusing news that some people have a quite figured out.
[SPEAKER_11]: Trump signed an executive order claiming to prohibit third party pay for play payments to college athletes.
[SPEAKER_11]: We have two pieces on that in the news on tap today.
[SPEAKER_11]: It doesn't really do anything, folks.
[SPEAKER_11]: One of the things people have to keep remembering is executive orders don't squat.
[SPEAKER_11]: We talked about this in an hour one.
[SPEAKER_11]: Executive orders apply to the people who are in the executive branch.
[SPEAKER_11]: They don't apply to anyone else.
[SPEAKER_11]: So his idea of, well, I'm going to sign an executive order and everyone everywhere has to do everything that I say.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's ridiculous.
[SPEAKER_02]: I have a question.
[SPEAKER_02]: How does any of this help us pay our bills?
[SPEAKER_11]: How does any of this help us pay our bills?
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, I have an answer for that, actually.
[SPEAKER_11]: Because remember, I used to be the executive producer of the Husker Sports Radiant Network.
[SPEAKER_11]: I was in charge in the network.
[SPEAKER_11]: This has been going on for years in college because the college athletes who they have abused and abused them for many, many years, making money off them in all kinds of ways.
[SPEAKER_11]: so they sued that went through here a couple years ago and there was a thing in the house that went through to so they got what's called NIL name image and likeness which basically means that colleges and universities can't just use an abuse college athletes the way that they want if these people are making the money they have to share and the revenue sharing really starts it there's been some little parts of it it really starts big time this next school year so we're talking what like a month away not even
[SPEAKER_04]: Some of these kids were having to do, I mean, it was really kind of sad.
[SPEAKER_04]: They were probably having to do our money.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, they were also, they were also limited in Eda, because they could do like, like, most kind of money.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, no, go ahead.
[SPEAKER_11]: No, okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: They would get in trouble for their coach helping them with just like their basic needs, like paying the ranch or something.
[SPEAKER_11]: Because college athletes, because of the previous state of rules, well, the previous and rules, they couldn't do like, you know, students can do on campus work things normally.
[SPEAKER_11]: But because of the previous rules of you couldn't pay them to do this that and the other, they weren't allowed to work, they were basically not allowed to really work on campus.
[SPEAKER_11]: They weren't really allowed to work outside jobs.
[SPEAKER_11]: They had all these limitations where it's like, you can come to college and we'll give you a scholarship for some of this stuff.
[SPEAKER_11]: We'll give you a scholarship for everything except maybe room and board, but then we are not going to give you any way above the table that you can pay for room and board.
[SPEAKER_11]: Unless you have some type of outside or under the table way to make money, you're screwed.
[SPEAKER_11]: And this is what there's so many in the college.
[SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, look, and I'm not saying that, you know, these are things that need to be done, but I'm just saying it.
[SPEAKER_11]: But here's where this comes in.
[SPEAKER_11]: So I've been saying this for years that if the NCAA and colleges and universities didn't watch their asses, that the federal government, especially Congress, was going to get their grubby fingers involved in it, and that they were going to take their pound of flesh.
[SPEAKER_11]: So the students said screw you.
[SPEAKER_11]: We're going to do this ourselves because we're tired of waiting for this.
[SPEAKER_11]: So they did lawsuits.
[SPEAKER_11]: They got through the house.
[SPEAKER_11]: They got NIL in there, which of course some of these colleges and universities are terrified about now because the money that they had been making
[SPEAKER_11]: is now going to be something that they have to divide up among the students and the college and universities don't have the money to both give it to the students which they are now legally required to do and to use it for other things that they were using it for so they're screwed but they screwed themselves so I don't feel sorry for the schools
[SPEAKER_11]: The schools, of course, have lobbyists, many of them work with the NCAA.
[SPEAKER_11]: And they, of course, went to Trump and said, well, you need to.
[SPEAKER_11]: So he's trying to say, well, you can't do pay for play, trying to limit them.
[SPEAKER_11]: But his executive order has no real effect because it's like the overtime thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's like the overtime thing when he's all, you know, no taxes on overtime.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, that's the only for people who work for the federal government.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_11]: And they did, and they did it.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's who was only no tax on tips for people who only make less than twenty-five thousand dollars.
[SPEAKER_11]: So it's a bunch of folks.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's a bunch of folks.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a bunch of folks.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's a bunch of folks.
[SPEAKER_03]: Because it's this girl's room.
[SPEAKER_14]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: I got no problem.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm here with three.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm here with three smart women.
[SPEAKER_11]: I got no issues with that.
[SPEAKER_11]: But the thing is is that this does deal in a sense of ways to make people money because of the fact that Congress is now
[SPEAKER_11]: especially since Trump stuck his fingers in this.
[SPEAKER_11]: There are three bills that are sitting in the house.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think there's one proposed in the Senate where they are going to get their fingers involved in this in well and what they want to try and do is basically now that the students are getting paid and a lot of college fans of sports are unhappy because students are swapping teams the way that pro athletes do whoever pays me the most gives me the most benefits treats me the best
[SPEAKER_11]: which look, we've made them effectively professional athletes that are like professionals.
[SPEAKER_04]: We don't have like these monopolies then.
[SPEAKER_11]: What happens is that the colleges don't like it because they go, well, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
[SPEAKER_11]: I got all these fields of cotton out here and somebody go have to pick these fields of cotton and your people was a slaves and now you're expecting me to pay you.
[SPEAKER_11]: And yes, I did use that analogy because that analogy is correct.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's what they want to do with the student athletes.
[SPEAKER_11]: And that's what they're going to try to do because these laws that are that they got the Maga members of the Republican House trying to push through, they want to go back and put the student athletes back in chains.
[SPEAKER_11]: So they get all the bills.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, but Republicans, you always have to look for who they're never going to be supporting a little guy.
[SPEAKER_04]: Whether it's an student athlete or working class.
[SPEAKER_04]: I working in Pennsylvania.
[SPEAKER_04]: They're never going to support the, uh, the little.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: They're always, they're always.
[SPEAKER_11]: I need it as right.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, by yourself.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm good.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm good with that.
[SPEAKER_11]: I just, it's, it's, it's one of those things where these, these athletes.
[SPEAKER_11]: You know, having having had the position that I had.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I would, for example, so when I, when I had my job there in Nebraska like that, I was one of the only people who would work in Memorial Stadium outside of the football period of time.
[SPEAKER_11]: You know, I worked there, you know, three and sixty five days a year.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I was right outside the press room.
[SPEAKER_11]: But the press room is this great big wonderful open space, great space for certain teams to go and study.
[SPEAKER_11]: So for example, the women's basketball team or the volleyball team.
[SPEAKER_11]: they knew I was in my office they knew I had the keys to the press room and I didn't care who was in there and nobody else in the building cared either so sometimes remember the team would come up and you know knock on the door yes they're like um can we study on the press room please anybody else in there no
[SPEAKER_11]: Did you check the schedule?
[SPEAKER_11]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_11]: Is anyone in there?
[SPEAKER_11]: No.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'll take out my keys and go.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I hope I can give it down because I'm like, I knew they weren't going to do anything.
[SPEAKER_11]: They're student athletes.
[SPEAKER_11]: They're in the stadium.
[SPEAKER_11]: They're there to study.
[SPEAKER_11]: They just want to quiet place to study.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's away from all the other athletes.
[SPEAKER_11]: Whatever.
[SPEAKER_11]: I didn't care.
[SPEAKER_11]: I mean, I just wanted to I want to get good grades and
[SPEAKER_11]: They did so.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: They work hard.
[SPEAKER_11]: They deserve to be paid fairly.
[SPEAKER_11]: They deserve to be able to get through college.
[SPEAKER_11]: And if they want to continue their their sports career and be professionals great.
[SPEAKER_11]: And if they want to go on and do other things.
[SPEAKER_11]: And you know.
[SPEAKER_03]: And their number is being sold by the university.
[SPEAKER_03]: They should make a.
[SPEAKER_11]: I have plenty of nasty things to say about Ohio State, but because I'm here in the bar and there may be some Ohio State fans, I won't say them.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm a Husker fan, I'm saying I'm not a fan of Ohio State.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's all I'm saying.
[SPEAKER_11]: Nebraska is better, just saying.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't have any college things other than my stupid college.
[SPEAKER_11]: You see LA and USC are in the in the big tennis now.
[SPEAKER_11]: There's like eight.
[SPEAKER_03]: You'll pee doesn't even have a football team anymore.

[SPEAKER_11]: We've been talking a little bit of entertainment.
[SPEAKER_11]: There is some more politics as well.
[SPEAKER_11]: We were talking in between bits here about some entertainment stuff about makeup and about Melrose place.
[SPEAKER_11]: And you were saying your brother used to do makeup on Melrose place.
[SPEAKER_03]: He did.
[SPEAKER_03]: He did it first on the love boat.
[SPEAKER_04]: Tell the kids what my world's place was.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_03]: Those people are busy with the Z. They might know the new love boat, not the old one.
[SPEAKER_03]: But Mr. Spelling did hire my brother for the love boat.
[SPEAKER_11]: And he became of nine O two one O fame.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: I also did Melrose Place, which was like more than adult version of nine O two one.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Pretty much.
[SPEAKER_03]: And so when my brother started working on Melrose Place, it was Heather Lockler that loved him because he did her makeup really well.
[SPEAKER_10]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: But he also worked with Linda Gray on Dallas at one point.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, wow.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: And so when they wanted to do model zinc and Linda Gray was like the big get for that show.
[SPEAKER_13]: Right.
[SPEAKER_03]: My brother was a key man clause.
[SPEAKER_03]: You literally said to Mr. Spelling.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, if I don't get Jeffrey Hamilton to do my makeup, I'm not in the show.
[SPEAKER_11]: Nice.
[SPEAKER_11]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_03]: That should be very good.
[SPEAKER_03]: He made ladies look very pretty and made them feel pretty at the same time.
[SPEAKER_03]: because he was so my brother was so handsome and very flirty.
[SPEAKER_03]: He was, he really was, I miss him so much.
[SPEAKER_03]: But it was so cute when I met Ms.
[SPEAKER_03]: Gray and my brother's memorial, she goes, no, that was the key man cause if Jeffrey couldn't do my makeup, I wasn't doing the show.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, that's amazing.
[SPEAKER_03]: So he was doing muslim and Miller's place at the same time, which was a lot of work for him.
[SPEAKER_11]: What's the whole time, praise?
[SPEAKER_03]: A lot of divas, by the way.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yes, including Ms.
[SPEAKER_03]: Grant, Ms.
[SPEAKER_03]: Walkler.
[SPEAKER_03]: But it was just like so sweet to hear that she said, no, I would not have done the show without him.
[SPEAKER_10]: That's great.
[SPEAKER_03]: He was a very sweet man.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I miss him very much.
[SPEAKER_03]: And his nephew, his nephew, my nephew, his son died two days ago last year or so.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, no.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's only thirty.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's only in his thirties.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, yes, basically.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: We're Texas, right?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, one in Texas.
[SPEAKER_03]: And Austin, yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, sorry.
[SPEAKER_11]: There are so many people we've lost.
[SPEAKER_11]: We were, we were mentioned this in the first hour.
[SPEAKER_11]: Joy Reed had a great newsletter that she put out last night this morning, whenever I read it this morning.
[SPEAKER_11]: About a lot of the people that we've lost collectively over the last week and then over the last few years, whether in music or entertainment, other entertainment movies and TV and made politics and
[SPEAKER_11]: It's weird, but there is definitely a wave of those.
[SPEAKER_11]: It has been going on for a few years now and it definitely changes, I think, how we how we see entertainment, how we see ourselves.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, when we see the people that we grew up with dying.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it's difficult.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it gives us a sense of mortality, you know.
[SPEAKER_10]: You're very much so yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: I know I've never worked in temporary now.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, we are.
[SPEAKER_04]: People we go up with, they're people that we watch, you know, Aussie Osbourne for instance.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I got told Sean when Aussie passed.
[SPEAKER_03]: I got to meet him about thirty years ago.
[SPEAKER_03]: A friend of mine who played with my sister was in his band at the time.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I was doing a thing and I got to meet him and I said, you know, Todd Jensen, he goes, I love Todd.
[SPEAKER_03]: I love Todd.
[SPEAKER_03]: I love Todd, exactly.
[SPEAKER_03]: I love him too.
[SPEAKER_03]: He goes, oh, he's amazing.
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you want him to come down and do the interview?
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm like, no.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, you want your seat, but I'm going to go see Todd, you know, right after this, he could not have been nicer and everybody that ever knew him from people.
[SPEAKER_03]: I know that I knew them and it was just like, Ozzy was.
[SPEAKER_03]: One of the nicest humans to play the people that he scared so many parents.
[SPEAKER_04]: He was like the devil.
[SPEAKER_11]: He scared a lot of the establishment to express that.
[SPEAKER_11]: Warp pigs is still one of black.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, it was, I was on Richard to this morning and we were talking about Azim, we were talking about how he spoke out about, you know, a thorn chair, like, you know, a thorn chair in his men corruption.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I said, I go, now, I was in, I was a lead singer in a classic rock band.
[SPEAKER_02]: And we covered Black Sabbath and we did war pigs.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I got to sing verse one of war pigs on Richard show this morning.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I was just thinking back then when he came out like there was about that satanic panic remember that yeah, and that was who was that the Maryland man said yeah, yeah
[SPEAKER_11]: And all of that tracks back to the right wing all of that tracks back to the extremist.
[SPEAKER_11]: The quote and quote.
[SPEAKER_11]: Religious right who is.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's trying to think now it's yeah drag queens and you know whatever.
[SPEAKER_04]: So they have found something to scare everybody.
[SPEAKER_02]: The thing is like with us, and I'm sure you guys already know the story, but
[SPEAKER_02]: you know that his he and his band were a hippie band he was a hippie and he was a huge Beatles fan and he wanted his sister to marry Paul McCartney and when the band was walking out they weren't really I guess not but they weren't playing any games so they weren't getting a lot of money and so they were walking past a marquee a theater and on the marquee was a horror movie
[SPEAKER_02]: being advertised being played.
[SPEAKER_02]: And so they said that's what we're going to do because that's what sells.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what people are interested in.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, gosh.
[SPEAKER_02]: Jodie, do you know?
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, it had well.
[SPEAKER_02]: It would have been what?
[SPEAKER_02]: The seventies?
[SPEAKER_04]: The seventies?
[SPEAKER_03]: The seventies?
[SPEAKER_04]: The seventies?
[SPEAKER_03]: The seventies?
[SPEAKER_04]: The seventies?
[SPEAKER_03]: The seventies?
[SPEAKER_03]: The
[SPEAKER_03]: And they put a big banner, a big thing of Aussie.
[SPEAKER_03]: And that was just like, you know what guys, that's not the same audience at all.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know completely different audience, but we all appreciate Oz.
[SPEAKER_03]: So it was very nice.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I looked at rods looking at them going, yes, you know, and everybody knows who he is.
[SPEAKER_03]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think we get that TV show.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's so large for us.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm sorry, but these are English bands.
[SPEAKER_03]: They know.
[SPEAKER_03]: They're funny.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: And they're also a huge cross over audience with when it comes to classic rock.
[SPEAKER_11]: You talk about classic rock radio.
[SPEAKER_11]: There's black Sabbath.
[SPEAKER_11]: There's Ozzy in.
[SPEAKER_11]: In classic rock radio, there are two halves of the catalog.
[SPEAKER_11]: Basically, there's the pre-nineteen eighty-half of the classic rock catalog, and then there's the depends on where you split it, but somewhere between eighty and eighty-seven or so, and then there's that newer half of the catalog.
[SPEAKER_11]: And Ozzy is on both sides of that catalog.
[SPEAKER_11]: So there's his solo stuff, my long-come-and-home, and then there's the stuff that I sat at.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, so if you've got a classic rock band and the who is very much a classic rock band?
[SPEAKER_11]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_11]: Everybody who listened on the radio to the who, you can bet that they also heard an Aussie Osborne song.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I was born with a character.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, like Alice Cooper.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: A marijuana and those types.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: A marijuana is not as nice as those two.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know it personally.
[SPEAKER_14]: You probably do.
[SPEAKER_14]: I don't know my, have you met him?
[SPEAKER_14]: A marijuana and I have not, but I don't want to.
[SPEAKER_11]: people who say that he's he's not so great but that was Alice Cooper um I met him he's lovely I've heard he's very nice as a person I heard I don't always necessarily agree with his politics but you know what I don't mind that if you're nice it's fine he's a lovely human yeah
[SPEAKER_14]: He really is servited or something.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I mean, he's become that depends on which issues.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's funny.
[SPEAKER_11]: He's not, he's not a manga, though, and that's still not worth it.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, he's not worth it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Not even close.
[SPEAKER_03]: The week it forgave him.
[SPEAKER_11]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, he's just, you know, he's pushing, he's pushing, Eddie.
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, well, yeah.
[SPEAKER_11]: He doesn't, he's a man of a certain, the thing that seems to be uniting everybody now is,
[SPEAKER_11]: And even some of the folks who were following Donald Trump is the fact of that we can the people starting to find ways to connect again across across some of these political boundaries that that we have been dealing with and and look a lot.
[SPEAKER_04]: I was a good thing by hatred for Trump or because it's not so much hatred.
[SPEAKER_04]: It is it's anger.
[SPEAKER_04]: Disguise the trade.
[SPEAKER_11]: um uh the the uh oh god there was uh uh there was a there was a great piece uh uh we don't have time to play but it was it was a great piece by um uh Pete Buttigieg we played an hour one oh it's not really about that we was talking about the fact that that a lot of the reason why these people are so mad is that they feel so betrayed
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, they can't address anything.
[SPEAKER_04]: He said he is called, he called this a hoax and he's still trying to call it a hoax.
[SPEAKER_04]: Now, he also called the Russia thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: He called everything a hoax.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, how does he know?
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, if he's calling everything the hoax, there may be nothing's a hoax.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.
[SPEAKER_11]: And they're starting, they're starting to see.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's, that's one of the things where I've had, I've had disagreements that people look.
[SPEAKER_11]: Conservatives are not
[SPEAKER_11]: extremist right wingers.
[SPEAKER_11]: Um, like I said, I know Bruce Bartlett, Bruce Bartlett is fine.
[SPEAKER_11]: He, he, he.
[SPEAKER_11]: He's responded.
[SPEAKER_04]: I did.
[SPEAKER_04]: I like the launch of that.
[SPEAKER_11]: I got a lot of them.
[SPEAKER_11]: We need to go launch again.
[SPEAKER_11]: I like Bruce Bartlett, but he's he is very definitely when when we talk about policy.
[SPEAKER_11]: He is still very definitely conservative.
[SPEAKER_11]: William Crystal, I don't know him personally, but especially if you read some of his stuff at the bulwark these days, there's no question that William Crystal is a conservative.
[SPEAKER_10]: But these guys guys.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, well, yeah, I don't I don't just I don't give up pass for that.
[SPEAKER_10]: I don't I don't disagree with it.
[SPEAKER_11]: But but but both of those guys are also some of the same people now who are trying to do things.
[SPEAKER_04]: I get to think and join our party.
[SPEAKER_04]: They can get they can they can join the you know.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's obviously.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, we talked about the bus with earlier this week, Jody.
[SPEAKER_11]: We were talking about the bus with somebody earlier this week, who we had on the show.
[SPEAKER_04]: They can get on the bus, but they can't.
[SPEAKER_04]: They can't.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right.
[SPEAKER_14]: Yeah, they can make policy.
[SPEAKER_14]: They can get on the bus.
[SPEAKER_04]: Like Joe Walsh get on the bus.
[SPEAKER_04]: You're welcome to be on the bus.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: We don't discriminate.
[SPEAKER_02]: If you hurt, I think Richard too.
[SPEAKER_02]: Richard too.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think that's who we were talking about.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: In fact, we have.
[SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, well, yeah, it was.
[SPEAKER_11]: We just go.
[SPEAKER_11]: We want their kids to do it.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, did you, did you know that, Karen?
[SPEAKER_11]: No, I did not.
[SPEAKER_04]: I just went to school with your sister.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, with my sister, Carrie.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, wow.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, wow.
[SPEAKER_04]: We found a little tape.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's what Obama was saying.
[SPEAKER_04]: Obama went to Pepperdine.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, can I say, I mean, I just want to say that I am so angry for Maga at the betrayal.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I think that they just need to harness their hate and aggravation and take it out on the Republican party.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, absolutely.
[SPEAKER_02]: We've entered the Republican.
[SPEAKER_04]: We betrayed them.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, we didn't do it.
[SPEAKER_04]: This whole thing, the act like some of these influencer trying to put make it like, oh, you know, uh, like we're the ones who've always been demanding these have seen files.
[SPEAKER_04]: either that or all of a sudden you guys care about the MC files.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's neither one of those are true.
[SPEAKER_04]: First of all, the reason why we weren't demanding, you know, the medicine files, we released it because we didn't Democrats and I would exploit the rape and abuse section.
[SPEAKER_11]: But it's about it's about truth and honesty and about being against fraud, which is what we are.
[SPEAKER_11]: And if they want to join that bus, we're all very glad about that.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's time to close the bar down, but don't worry, you know, we may do a little after after party here at the bar as we're closing things down.
[SPEAKER_11]: We do that sometimes.
[SPEAKER_11]: Monday next week.
[SPEAKER_11]: We've got BDD Brooklyn, Dad, Defiant.
