03:18.283 --> 03:18.423 [SPEAKER_06]: It's. 03:19.325 --> 03:20.747 [SPEAKER_02]: Netanyahu is the problem. 03:21.128 --> 03:22.310 [SPEAKER_02]: Israel is not the problem. 03:22.390 --> 03:24.754 [SPEAKER_02]: It is Netanyahu and people that support him. 03:25.375 --> 03:26.176 [SPEAKER_06]: Jodi is right. 03:26.496 --> 03:29.061 [SPEAKER_02]: Much like Donald and the Republicans that support

[SPEAKER_06]: It's how bad does it have to be that even Donald Trump acknowledges the reality? 04:08.192 --> 04:08.914 [SPEAKER_06]: Come on, man. 04:09.094 --> 04:09.435 [SPEAKER_02]: It's bad. 04:10.128 --> 04:13.669 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, so we got some good stories. 04:14.149 --> 04:18.630 [SPEAKER_06]: Well, I say good, but some informative stories you street about that in the news on tap today. 04:18.710 --> 04:19.910 [SPEAKER_06]: There is a long one. 04:20.271 --> 04:33.714 [SPEAKER_06]: If if somebody is saying that, oh, they don't necessarily believe all the people who washing their posts, not a huge fan of them these days, because what basis is doing, but they do have some people there who still do still work. 04:34.454 --> 04:35.214 [SPEAKER_06]: They had this piece. 04:37.035 --> 04:39.936 [SPEAKER_06]: Hundreds of names of the dead kids that are there. 04:40.537 --> 04:45.839 [SPEAKER_06]: And you can just, you can scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll and it'll tell you every time you reach past another hundred. 04:46.819 --> 04:52.742 [SPEAKER_06]: And it is, if you got somebody who, you know, needs to be woken up a little bit and they have a big scrolling thing. 04:53.442 --> 04:53.902 [SPEAKER_06]: Put them there. 04:53.983 --> 04:56.003 [SPEAKER_06]: It'll, they'll kind of be like, oh my God. 04:56.083 --> 04:56.404 [SPEAKER_06]: Okay. 04:56.444 --> 04:57.684 [SPEAKER_06]: Wow, I should pay attention. 04:57.744 --> 04:58.244 [SPEAKER_06]: You know, good. 04:58.645 --> 04:58.885 [SPEAKER_06]: Good. 04:59.105 --> 04:59.565 [SPEAKER_06]: Exactly. 04:59.745 --> 05:01.726 [SPEAKER_02]: Well, and Netanyahu's lying about everything. 05:02.551 --> 05:05.679 [SPEAKER_06]: Oh yeah, he and he and his party are still nothing to see here. 05:05.780 --> 05:06.802 [SPEAKER_06]: Everything's fine. 05:06.822 --> 05:08.346 [SPEAKER_06]: There's no Tom home in about it. 05:08.928 --> 05:09.369 [SPEAKER_06]: Oh God. 05:10.338 --> 05:12.279 [SPEAKER_06]: Tom Hobag is a home in sorry. 05:12.519 --> 05:13.599 [SPEAKER_06]: I do that all the time. 05:13.619 --> 05:14.180 [SPEAKER_03]: It's easy. 05:14.260 --> 05:14.740 [SPEAKER_03]: It's easy. 05:15.060 --> 05:27.565 [SPEAKER_06]: Well, it's easy and it is something that we can say about him on the broadcast air waves because what I really like to say about him is things that, yeah, only on the podcast. 05:30.006 --> 05:33.908 [SPEAKER_06]: Well, and only on podcasts that are not also broadcast over the air waves. 05:34.868 --> 05:37.329 [SPEAKER_06]: Like like hear the politics bar, same thing. 05:37.369 --> 05:38.730 [SPEAKER_06]: You can get us their both places. 05:39.730 --> 06:01.970 [SPEAKER_02]: There was an eight point eight magnitude earthquake in Russia's Comchatka Peninsula was I believe it was about twenty five miles deep in the ocean they say I have a thing on my phone so I get earthquakes over I think of five point five just letting me know According to that this morning it was only twelve and a half mile steep which is nothing 06:02.976 --> 06:06.997 [SPEAKER_06]: It's still, I mean, it's it's it's one of the top ten earthquakes they've said since they've been recording this stuff. 06:07.037 --> 06:10.738 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think wasn't there a nine point owner last a few years back. 06:11.118 --> 06:13.699 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, and this is this is no joke of course. 06:13.719 --> 06:21.121 [SPEAKER_06]: No, some idiot on social media actually had, you know, got out to the National Weather Service and be like, why are you not warning us to North Dakota? 06:22.421 --> 06:23.561 [SPEAKER_02]: Seriously, North Dakota. 06:24.081 --> 06:25.602 [SPEAKER_02]: You're not going to get a tsunami. 06:25.682 --> 06:26.182 [SPEAKER_02]: Trust me. 06:26.987 --> 06:30.930 [SPEAKER_06]: Look, if North Dakota has to worry about a tsunami, then the rest of us do. 06:31.450 --> 06:36.673 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, we all, the entire world has a lot more to worry about if North Dakota is worrying about a tsunami. 06:37.414 --> 06:44.519 [SPEAKER_02]: I just, the fact that they had to even say your landlocked and you are nine hundred miles from the nearest coast, you're fine. 06:44.539 --> 06:44.619 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 06:44.939 --> 06:46.400 [SPEAKER_06]: And it's, and it's not just the weather and time. 06:46.460 --> 06:48.481 [SPEAKER_06]: And I'm not just talking about somehow the world flooding. 06:48.541 --> 06:55.446 [SPEAKER_06]: I'm saying, if, if we have people who are literally that dumb asking the national weather service and these people can vote, 06:58.277 --> 07:06.688 [SPEAKER_06]: You got another right questions to ask when it comes to things like who should be leading us and being in North Dakota and saying are we going to get a tsunami? 07:07.888 --> 07:08.168 [SPEAKER_06]: anyway. 07:09.169 --> 07:14.632 [SPEAKER_02]: It's just like seriously people though it was strange that I mean Alaska obviously because it was near Alaska. 07:15.192 --> 07:15.613 [SPEAKER_06]: Well, right. 07:15.653 --> 07:16.493 [SPEAKER_06]: I was really glad. 07:16.513 --> 07:19.495 [SPEAKER_06]: Why did you have a small one? 07:19.815 --> 07:21.236 [SPEAKER_06]: The Western course of the U.S. 07:21.516 --> 07:23.217 [SPEAKER_06]: Hawaii, Japan. 07:23.897 --> 07:24.117 [SPEAKER_06]: Right. 07:24.157 --> 07:27.659 [SPEAKER_06]: I mean anybody who was around the the quote unquote ring of fire. 07:27.960 --> 07:28.320 [SPEAKER_03]: I get it. 07:28.800 --> 07:29.020 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. 07:29.120 --> 07:30.361 [SPEAKER_06]: Right exactly California. 07:30.521 --> 07:30.721 [SPEAKER_06]: Right. 07:30.841 --> 07:31.141 [SPEAKER_06]: I get it. 07:31.802 --> 07:32.842 [SPEAKER_06]: But at the same time. 07:34.043 --> 07:35.804 [SPEAKER_06]: That is nowhere near North Dakota. 07:35.884 --> 07:36.925 [SPEAKER_02]: I've been in North Dakota. 07:36.985 --> 07:37.145 [SPEAKER_02]: It's 07:38.092 --> 07:39.053 [SPEAKER_06]: I've been North Dakota too. 07:39.213 --> 07:39.413 [SPEAKER_06]: Yep. 07:39.994 --> 07:40.234 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 07:40.554 --> 07:42.676 [SPEAKER_02]: It's it's it's a flight and a half from here. 07:42.816 --> 07:44.538 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's it's a drive. 07:45.018 --> 07:47.620 [SPEAKER_02]: It's You're not don't worry not the coat. 07:47.660 --> 07:52.885 [SPEAKER_02]: It's you're not gonna get a tsunami and if you do then we're all screwed right exactly 07:53.424 --> 07:56.868 [SPEAKER_06]: Speaking of screwed, Donnie keeps getting himself in more and more trouble. 07:58.970 --> 08:05.258 [SPEAKER_06]: Well, as Bob Cesca says, you know, Donald Trump always makes things worse for Donald Trump, which is true. 08:05.318 --> 08:05.818 [SPEAKER_06]: He does. 08:07.120 --> 08:13.407 [SPEAKER_06]: Although there was some news, the House Oversight Committee rejected Jelaine Gislane, Jelaine, I don't know, either eight ways pronounce her name. 08:13.567 --> 08:16.529 [SPEAKER_06]: Maxwell's request for immunity in exchange for testimony. 08:16.569 --> 08:27.117 [SPEAKER_06]: Basically, she keeps raising the stakes and making it clear if if you give me complete immunity, I'll say anything you want, which is stupid because then no one will trust it. 08:27.198 --> 08:28.919 [SPEAKER_02]: So, well, I mean, that's the thing. 08:28.979 --> 08:31.121 [SPEAKER_02]: It's like, no, we're not giving you immunity for future. 08:32.011 --> 08:32.251 [SPEAKER_02]: things. 08:32.311 --> 08:34.033 [SPEAKER_02]: What are you talking about? 08:34.353 --> 08:37.055 [SPEAKER_02]: And you can do queen it queen for a day, immunity. 08:37.676 --> 08:37.856 [SPEAKER_02]: Right. 08:37.876 --> 08:40.878 [SPEAKER_02]: But it's got to be proven that what you're telling us is true. 08:41.439 --> 08:41.679 [SPEAKER_06]: Right. 08:41.919 --> 08:45.282 [SPEAKER_02]: And so it's like, it's first off, it's Congress and not the DOJ. 08:46.263 --> 08:50.166 [SPEAKER_06]: Well, but even so if it was in Congress and DOJ could use it, et cetera, et cetera. 08:50.226 --> 08:56.131 [SPEAKER_06]: But the fact that the House over segment, remember, House over site committee is still, you know, basically controlled by Republicans. 08:56.151 --> 08:58.853 [SPEAKER_06]: And even they are like, no, no, no, no, no, no. 08:59.878 --> 09:07.843 [SPEAKER_02]: It could be, I mean, Stephanie posited this this morning that they're talking with Donald about, well, you're going to give her a pardon because then don't matter. 09:08.364 --> 09:12.066 [SPEAKER_06]: Well, he's he's floating that idea, but he's not saying no to it. 09:13.047 --> 09:15.709 [SPEAKER_06]: He's not saying no, but he's also not saying yes. 09:15.789 --> 09:24.234 [SPEAKER_06]: I'm pretty sure his legal people have warned him off of that on top of which Senate Democrats today, I had not checked it recently, but I do, you know, 09:25.457 --> 09:29.780 [SPEAKER_06]: Some of them finally sort of shimmers is not my favorite, but he's the one who's been pushing this there. 09:30.180 --> 09:31.581 [SPEAKER_06]: There is there is this thing. 09:31.601 --> 09:35.443 [SPEAKER_06]: Uh, that it's called the rule of five. 09:35.463 --> 09:36.844 [SPEAKER_06]: I don't know if you've ever heard of this. 09:36.904 --> 09:38.725 [SPEAKER_02]: I got a hundred years old or something like that. 09:38.845 --> 09:42.227 [SPEAKER_06]: Uh, it, uh, it was put in law in nineteen twenty eight. 09:42.347 --> 09:44.148 [SPEAKER_02]: So, uh, U S code. 09:44.588 --> 09:45.169 [SPEAKER_06]: U S code. 09:45.429 --> 09:45.949 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I guess so. 09:47.670 --> 09:47.890 [SPEAKER_06]: U.S. 09:47.930 --> 09:53.455 [SPEAKER_06]: Code, twenty nine fifty four information to committee of Congress on request. 09:53.995 --> 10:04.845 [SPEAKER_06]: Basically says if I believe it's seven members of the House or five members of the Senate request information from an executive branch department of any kind. 10:05.425 --> 10:07.006 [SPEAKER_06]: that they must give it to them. 10:07.086 --> 10:10.008 [SPEAKER_06]: There's no, you don't get to say no. 10:10.449 --> 10:17.794 [SPEAKER_06]: And the deadline, they can give the DOJ a deadline of August fifteenth to turn over all of the Epstein files, all of them. 10:18.627 --> 10:23.970 [SPEAKER_06]: So that's what that's what Schumer's pushing and you can be in the minority and do it and that's what Schumer is doing. 10:24.490 --> 10:31.094 [SPEAKER_06]: That's the kind of thing that democratic voters that independent voters that never Trump and non-Trump Republicans. 10:32.194 --> 10:38.818 [SPEAKER_06]: That's when we say we want you to fight that's one example of that is 10:39.828 --> 11:04.152 [SPEAKER_06]: whatever you have to do if you got a throw spoons and knives and forks from the the kitchen basket of silverware to fight then grab the silverware box and freaking go man I mean yeah that's that's so nice to see shimmer getting up off his ass on that one maybe chord book or little fire on it because of what booker did that does uh i have a feeling it was prepared already but 11:04.452 --> 11:05.733 [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, I'm sure I'm sure. 11:05.853 --> 11:11.737 [SPEAKER_06]: I mean, I know Chuck's people, you know, they're, they're, they're good people and they, they would be looking and I'm sure they hadn't, they looked into it and they found it. 11:11.817 --> 11:20.782 [SPEAKER_06]: But it's one of those where it's like, that's what we mean by getting up, stepping up, kicking up, doing these things, which the media has not done. 11:21.022 --> 11:23.684 [SPEAKER_06]: I emailed you this this morning because I knew this. 11:23.784 --> 11:31.269 [SPEAKER_06]: I, I remembered this from working on Randy show where, when you're in South Florida, when you're in, if you're in LA, you hear LA stuff. 11:31.289 --> 11:33.610 [SPEAKER_06]: When you're in South Florida, you hear South Florida, you hear South Florida stuff. 11:34.517 --> 11:43.774 [SPEAKER_06]: Everybody knew that Virginia Drupary, basically the first major victim, or one of Epstein's victims that came out. 11:44.896 --> 11:46.138 [SPEAKER_06]: And she talked about 11:47.328 --> 11:50.950 [SPEAKER_06]: How she was, God, what is the word that she used? 11:50.970 --> 11:52.591 [SPEAKER_06]: This was twenty nineteen, I believe. 11:52.852 --> 11:53.172 [SPEAKER_06]: Say again? 11:53.412 --> 11:53.792 [SPEAKER_02]: Lured. 11:54.393 --> 11:55.714 [SPEAKER_06]: Yes, yes, correct. 11:55.874 --> 11:56.614 [SPEAKER_06]: Jody is right. 11:56.734 --> 12:08.742 [SPEAKER_06]: Again, yes, that she was lured by Maxwell and Epstein, from her job with Trump at Mara Logo to go work for Epstein to be his misuse. 12:09.422 --> 12:10.643 [SPEAKER_06]: What I quote, misuse, right? 12:11.664 --> 12:11.864 [SPEAKER_06]: But 12:14.636 --> 12:36.660 [SPEAKER_06]: Everybody knew that they had that Epstein and Trump had a thing that basically Epstein poached her that pissed Trump off People who are down in that area know this and have been talking about it for years So the media coming out and going oh, this is new information and Trump was talking about on the plane and see and we play it But there's so much background noise from the plane. 12:36.940 --> 12:42.061 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean the word that he used Says so much about how he feels about people and 12:42.961 --> 12:49.263 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, when he said, he stole her from me as if she was prop as if you were property. 12:49.763 --> 12:49.963 [SPEAKER_06]: Right. 12:50.403 --> 12:50.583 [SPEAKER_06]: Right. 12:50.803 --> 12:52.123 [SPEAKER_06]: And you are, you are right on that. 12:52.223 --> 12:53.944 [SPEAKER_06]: It's, but that's how he considers women. 12:53.984 --> 12:55.724 [SPEAKER_06]: That's how he considers people who work for him. 12:55.764 --> 12:59.085 [SPEAKER_06]: That's how he considers anybody that he considers lesser. 12:59.825 --> 13:01.526 [SPEAKER_06]: That that's that's how Trump speaks. 13:01.826 --> 13:05.727 [SPEAKER_06]: So I mean, that's that's not surprising that he thinks that kind of thing. 13:06.027 --> 13:08.430 [SPEAKER_02]: But now it's like, it wasn't obscene to creep. 13:08.750 --> 13:11.534 [SPEAKER_02]: And now he stole employees from him. 13:11.714 --> 13:15.279 [SPEAKER_02]: And then there was a bit of a picture that, that Epstein did. 13:15.379 --> 13:19.644 [SPEAKER_06]: So basically, yeah, there's we could talk about it more after the break. 13:19.684 --> 13:23.229 [SPEAKER_06]: There's there's always more news on tap here at the politics bar. 13:23.249 --> 13:24.770 [SPEAKER_06]: We do have a great drink of the day. 13:25.271 --> 13:27.712 [SPEAKER_06]: and a little history lesson along with that drink of the day. 13:27.732 --> 13:34.836 [SPEAKER_06]: And of course Bob Saska, as we mentioned, is coming in and we're definitely gonna be talking about what Cory Booker did on the Senate floor. 13:35.337 --> 13:35.737 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. 13:36.077 --> 13:36.737 [SPEAKER_06]: Cory's a good man. 13:36.757 --> 13:40.379 [SPEAKER_06]: Look, get your drink refreshed and come on back for another round. 13:40.680 --> 13:44.602 [SPEAKER_06]: It's Wednesday night here at the politics bar with me and Joey. 13:44.922 --> 13:49.825 [SPEAKER_06]: Hang on. 13:50.025 --> 13:53.507 [SPEAKER_05]: We'll be right back after we'd pay some bills at the politics bar. 14:00.859 --> 14:01.720 [SPEAKER_06]: middle of the week. 14:02.260 --> 14:05.882 [SPEAKER_06]: It is Wednesday nights here at the politics bar. 14:05.902 --> 14:05.982 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. 14:06.203 --> 14:07.483 [SPEAKER_06]: Good. 14:07.503 --> 14:08.444 [SPEAKER_06]: You're hanging out with us. 14:08.564 --> 14:09.885 [SPEAKER_06]: Thank you very much for that. 14:10.545 --> 14:12.947 [SPEAKER_06]: Like we said, Bob Sesska coming in a little bit later. 14:12.987 --> 14:26.196 [SPEAKER_06]: We got some more news on tap, but we do want to keep talking a little bit more about quite frankly how the media really bone this on the the latest part of the Trump Epstein scandal because it's 14:27.000 --> 14:30.402 [SPEAKER_06]: It's important that you know, look, we do it. 14:30.422 --> 14:35.945 [SPEAKER_06]: We can to sus out the best media, best articles, best clips and things. 14:36.225 --> 14:37.946 [SPEAKER_06]: And we put them in the news on tap for free. 14:37.986 --> 14:40.547 [SPEAKER_06]: You can subscribe to that at the politics bar, get it for free. 14:40.567 --> 14:41.367 [SPEAKER_06]: So you know what's going on. 14:42.788 --> 14:47.731 [SPEAKER_06]: But a lot of the news, a lot of the news media, mainstream news media has got real problems in the United States. 14:48.091 --> 14:48.991 [SPEAKER_06]: Perfect example, Judy. 14:49.051 --> 14:53.013 [SPEAKER_06]: Okay, you know, you know the legendary onion headline. 14:53.614 --> 14:54.254 [SPEAKER_02]: Which one? 14:54.654 --> 14:55.395 [SPEAKER_06]: About shootings? 14:57.088 --> 14:58.389 [SPEAKER_06]: It says, okay, so they do this. 14:58.429 --> 14:59.969 [SPEAKER_06]: They've done this since God. 14:59.989 --> 15:02.931 [SPEAKER_06]: I think the first time they did it was like, nineteen ninety four or something. 15:03.011 --> 15:04.832 [SPEAKER_02]: So right after like column bin or something. 15:04.892 --> 15:05.412 [SPEAKER_06]: Something like that. 15:05.432 --> 15:09.574 [SPEAKER_06]: It says no way to prevent this says only nation where this regularly happens. 15:10.515 --> 15:10.695 [SPEAKER_06]: Right. 15:10.775 --> 15:16.858 [SPEAKER_06]: And every time there's another mass shooting like a big mass shooting, the onion will republish that smart. 15:17.757 --> 15:20.059 [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, it's great, but it is a constant reminder. 15:21.220 --> 15:30.728 [SPEAKER_06]: It is, it is very much a, it's a joke headline, because of course we all know that, you know, there are things that could be done for gun safety to make things better. 15:30.888 --> 15:31.309 [SPEAKER_02]: Hey, man. 15:31.769 --> 15:38.575 [SPEAKER_06]: So remember, the onion headline is, quote, no way to prevent this says only nation where this regularly happens. 15:39.315 --> 15:44.300 [SPEAKER_06]: Okay, yesterday after the mass shooting in New York City, the New York Times headline, 15:45.405 --> 15:46.166 [SPEAKER_06]: was literally this. 15:46.907 --> 15:50.651 [SPEAKER_06]: NYC, mass shooting was nearly impossible to prevent experts say. 15:52.833 --> 15:53.414 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I know. 15:53.794 --> 15:53.975 [SPEAKER_06]: I know. 15:55.954 --> 16:03.721 [SPEAKER_02]: I think they're saying that because he drove in from out of state that there's no way to prevent it. 16:04.281 --> 16:11.748 [SPEAKER_06]: But the fact is that people who are at the New York Times have been in journalism for long enough time, they know the onion headline. 16:11.808 --> 16:18.814 [SPEAKER_06]: They know that by heart and they literally wrote an almost identical headline for a year ahead of line is supposed to be right. 16:19.134 --> 16:19.555 [SPEAKER_06]: Exactly. 16:19.615 --> 16:21.697 [SPEAKER_06]: On the onion headline is supposed to be a joke and they were serious. 16:22.257 --> 16:22.558 [SPEAKER_06]: It's like 16:23.318 --> 16:37.204 [SPEAKER_06]: If you don't have the institutional knowledge, that's something we'll have to talk about with the Sydney Swenie, American Eagle ad, because that, that is further proof that diversity is really important in multiple ways. 16:38.965 --> 16:47.248 [SPEAKER_06]: That whole American Eagle Sydney Swingy thing is a perfect example of why diversity of staff and institutional knowledge is important. 16:47.648 --> 16:50.709 [SPEAKER_06]: And you know how you get institutional knowledge, you get institutions. 16:50.990 --> 16:54.511 [SPEAKER_06]: It can't just be some freaking creator out there who started yesterday. 16:54.846 --> 17:02.835 [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I just went to my alma mater, my university, I graduated from University of the Pacific, which is not on the Pacific, but that's in the other story. 17:02.855 --> 17:04.917 [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know where it is. 17:05.017 --> 17:09.462 [SPEAKER_02]: And so their new president, he's been there, I don't know how long, but obviously. 17:10.743 --> 17:11.524 [SPEAKER_02]: So I've been there. 17:11.544 --> 17:15.926 [SPEAKER_02]: And he literally at the end of this, now this is a private university. 17:15.966 --> 17:17.587 [SPEAKER_02]: So Donald has no control over it. 17:18.048 --> 17:21.069 [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if it gets any federal funding or not. 17:21.590 --> 17:24.251 [SPEAKER_02]: But it's like Harvard is a private university too. 17:24.772 --> 17:27.473 [SPEAKER_02]: But he literally puts in his last thing. 17:27.553 --> 17:30.655 [SPEAKER_02]: My thing is about diversity, equity, and inclusion. 17:30.755 --> 17:32.056 [SPEAKER_02]: And it's on the website. 17:34.097 --> 17:34.397 [SPEAKER_06]: Good. 17:34.798 --> 17:35.438 [SPEAKER_02]: And it should be. 17:35.678 --> 17:37.519 [SPEAKER_02]: And he's like a sixty something your own white guy. 17:37.579 --> 17:38.300 [SPEAKER_02]: It's not like, you know, 17:39.408 --> 17:49.494 [SPEAKER_06]: There are people who are old and male and white and cis, hetero, whatever, and they can get this to everybody can get the fact that diversity. 17:49.514 --> 17:51.915 [SPEAKER_06]: That's the American Eagle Sydney Swingy thing. 17:52.316 --> 17:53.756 [SPEAKER_06]: Well, we'll talk about that a little bit later. 17:54.957 --> 18:12.164 [SPEAKER_06]: just a little hand, but it's a perfect example why in media, it is important to also especially in media that you know what's going on about this and with regard to the the Epstein files and the fact that Donald was giving this new information that Virginia Jeffrey was stolen from him and 18:13.682 --> 18:17.844 [SPEAKER_06]: Anybody who was in the area in South Florida knew this story. 18:18.264 --> 18:20.165 [SPEAKER_06]: They've known this story for years. 18:20.625 --> 18:27.048 [SPEAKER_06]: This is not new news and the national news was running with it going oh my god, oh my god, this is new news and oh, I can't believe this. 18:28.109 --> 18:34.252 [SPEAKER_06]: No, it's it's not new news that this is this is not it is to a lot of people that didn't live in Florida. 18:35.989 --> 18:43.223 [SPEAKER_06]: Well, but just because, I mean, you know, look, there are things that the, oh, God, I'm trying to remember your friend that we had on who was the Hollywood expert. 18:44.044 --> 18:44.405 [SPEAKER_02]: Justin. 18:44.966 --> 18:46.108 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, he's great. 18:46.369 --> 18:46.509 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 18:47.284 --> 18:51.486 [SPEAKER_06]: But there are a lot of things that he knows that people who are in Hollywood know, they're very common. 18:51.686 --> 18:58.069 [SPEAKER_06]: There are people wherever you happen to be, whether if you're up in the cities, you know we're pastly park is you live in the city, you know we're pasted there. 18:58.109 --> 19:01.390 [SPEAKER_06]: There are certain things about Chicago about different times a year with the weather. 19:01.810 --> 19:10.274 [SPEAKER_06]: You do not go running or walking around the lake when it's a certain type of freezing and the wind is blowing up because the water will come up and yeah, that's the 19:10.854 --> 19:14.598 [SPEAKER_06]: These are all things that everybody who is in each individual local area know. 19:15.319 --> 19:24.368 [SPEAKER_06]: If I'm a national media reporter and I know some of these things, I don't say that it's no news because it's not new news. 19:24.968 --> 19:31.615 [SPEAKER_06]: You say this is something that's been known for a long time and other national news outlets have not reported it. 19:32.887 --> 20:01.604 [SPEAKER_06]: you can position it that way so you as your national news outlet looks like you guys knew what you were talking about because nobody's going to go back and actually go through all the years of tape to go all all years of recordings and say oh yes yes you talked about it and it also puts it in the mind of the people who are getting the message that yes this is a known fact so that when another outlets says well this is new news they go now I heard it from the other guy that people have known obviously you're just late to the party 20:02.758 --> 20:09.382 [SPEAKER_02]: I think the reason that it's gotten traction right now is because of the way that Donald said he was a creep. 20:09.422 --> 20:11.122 [SPEAKER_02]: That's why we got weren't friends anymore. 20:11.243 --> 20:16.225 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, now it's because he stole in air quotes, employees of his and you can't do that. 20:16.245 --> 20:26.270 [SPEAKER_02]: And then the other story that has yet to come out is they were, they were both trying to buy a property and according to rumor, Epstein kept up in the price. 20:26.330 --> 20:29.152 [SPEAKER_02]: So Donald had to pay more and that's the other falling out. 20:29.272 --> 20:31.153 [SPEAKER_06]: That's another South, that's another South Florida thing. 20:31.173 --> 20:32.574 [SPEAKER_06]: And it happened about the same time. 20:32.694 --> 20:37.838 [SPEAKER_06]: So basically, Epstein and Trump were competing for the same property. 20:39.479 --> 20:42.260 [SPEAKER_06]: And I believe Trump got the best of Epstein on that. 20:42.841 --> 20:48.825 [SPEAKER_06]: So then Epstein started poaching his people, which is the kind of petty little crap that rich people do to each other. 20:50.272 --> 20:53.635 [SPEAKER_06]: But that's, that is the basis of this back and forth thing. 20:53.675 --> 20:54.796 [SPEAKER_06]: That's, that's where this came from. 20:54.956 --> 21:00.401 [SPEAKER_06]: And if you ask folks in South Florida, guarantee you folks who've been there were like, yeah, we all knew that. 21:00.461 --> 21:02.563 [SPEAKER_02]: Well, it's like asking New Yorkers about Donald Trump. 21:02.623 --> 21:03.965 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, exactly. 21:04.425 --> 21:11.312 [SPEAKER_02]: But the fact that New Yorkers and South Floridians know about this doesn't necessarily mean that the rest of us 21:12.858 --> 21:17.765 [SPEAKER_06]: And that's perfectly fine, but it's also not okay to present that as new news. 21:18.586 --> 21:23.613 [SPEAKER_02]: Well, maybe some people in the media didn't know got to give them because they're a lot of young. 21:23.693 --> 21:27.898 [SPEAKER_06]: But at that point, they're doing the exact same thing when Donald Trump says, well, nobody knew. 21:28.459 --> 21:33.981 [SPEAKER_06]: No, Donald, everybody else knew you're just the idiot who's just finding it out, Donnie. 21:34.021 --> 21:36.482 [SPEAKER_06]: When he doesn't know something, you know he, you know that's done. 21:36.522 --> 21:44.626 [SPEAKER_02]: He always says that, but the other thing is, is he was literally recorded on your first one, saying it, what a day or two ago. 21:44.786 --> 21:47.287 [SPEAKER_02]: So that's the new news part of it. 21:48.067 --> 21:52.509 [SPEAKER_06]: And we, we played it like we said, but the, the audio is really bad. 21:52.629 --> 21:54.830 [SPEAKER_02]: It sounds, he's an airplane. 21:55.885 --> 21:57.286 [SPEAKER_06]: Well, and they didn't do sound adjustment. 21:57.386 --> 21:58.707 [SPEAKER_06]: So, which whatever. 21:58.947 --> 22:01.108 [SPEAKER_06]: Anyway, just to point all these things out. 22:01.208 --> 22:04.310 [SPEAKER_06]: Also, I was very glad that Joan Walsh pointed this out in the nation. 22:04.390 --> 22:06.611 [SPEAKER_06]: We have this link in the news on tap that they've shown us great. 22:08.112 --> 22:12.754 [SPEAKER_06]: I keep forgetting to reach out to Joan about that, because I owe her a beer and look we're in a bar. 22:13.014 --> 22:14.415 [SPEAKER_06]: So, you know, make sense. 22:14.495 --> 22:17.217 [SPEAKER_06]: But she is a great piece of up called Keep Digging Donald. 22:17.237 --> 22:19.198 [SPEAKER_06]: You're keeping the Epstein scandal alive. 22:20.259 --> 22:20.760 [SPEAKER_06]: And he is. 22:20.980 --> 22:22.141 [SPEAKER_02]: He looked at us about it. 22:22.682 --> 22:26.886 [SPEAKER_06]: No, but like Bob says, you know, Donald Trump always makes things worse for Donald Trump. 22:27.026 --> 22:29.529 [SPEAKER_06]: And this isn't the perfect example of that. 22:29.629 --> 22:29.749 [SPEAKER_06]: So 22:32.331 --> 22:36.332 [SPEAKER_06]: The Senate Republicans have not helped make things better. 22:37.072 --> 22:46.015 [SPEAKER_06]: They even though, well, we all know all of the problems with the meal Bovae, they decided to put him through fifty forty nine lost by one vote. 22:46.035 --> 22:53.516 [SPEAKER_02]: Well, it's they would have lost if the other Republican had showed up and voted with the Democrats, then Jimmy Vance would have come in and. 22:54.377 --> 22:54.917 [SPEAKER_06]: Right. 22:54.997 --> 22:58.077 [SPEAKER_06]: And then overridden, then it would have been fifty one fifty right, which is just. 22:58.498 --> 23:00.018 [SPEAKER_02]: Which they should be fifty one fifty. 23:02.140 --> 23:02.900 [SPEAKER_06]: I love that. 23:02.981 --> 23:06.363 [SPEAKER_06]: I love that for those of you who don't know what is fifty one fifteen california journey. 23:06.503 --> 23:08.145 [SPEAKER_02]: It means you're getting committed to it. 23:10.247 --> 23:11.087 [SPEAKER_02]: Mental Institute. 23:11.127 --> 23:17.333 [SPEAKER_02]: I had so many other words in my head, but it's basically it's you get committed to a mental institution against your will. 23:18.208 --> 23:18.708 [SPEAKER_06]: Exactly. 23:18.849 --> 23:24.413 [SPEAKER_06]: In in California, that is the police code for being committed to a mental institution against your will. 23:24.873 --> 23:27.695 [SPEAKER_06]: It's one of the reasons that Van Halen named one of their albums. 23:27.915 --> 23:31.418 [SPEAKER_02]: That's what I was about to say, Van Halen. 23:31.458 --> 23:33.499 [SPEAKER_06]: You and me, rock and roll, we know that. 23:33.760 --> 23:34.340 [SPEAKER_06]: All right. 23:34.520 --> 23:37.002 [SPEAKER_06]: But there is some things that did some people do not know. 23:37.342 --> 23:40.004 [SPEAKER_06]: The lawyers among you who are here at the bar, you may know this. 23:40.825 --> 23:43.647 [SPEAKER_06]: So both is now going to be a federal appeals court judge. 23:44.748 --> 23:45.488 [SPEAKER_06]: However, 23:46.753 --> 23:57.839 [SPEAKER_06]: Any defendant who comes in front of him has the right to file a motion to recuse the judge, alleging the judge of bias or a conflict of interest. 23:58.700 --> 24:03.743 [SPEAKER_06]: If the judge has stated that they, unequivocally are in a particular way. 24:04.003 --> 24:11.287 [SPEAKER_06]: For example, if a judge has stated, we're going to do what we want, tell the courts, FU, and get in the finger. 24:11.327 --> 24:12.348 [SPEAKER_02]: Which he has stated that. 24:13.018 --> 24:15.799 [SPEAKER_06]: And there is actually audio tape of him, saying that. 24:15.839 --> 24:17.800 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but it doesn't seem to matter to Chuck Grassley. 24:18.440 --> 24:36.307 [SPEAKER_06]: No, it didn't matter to Chuck Grassley, but it will matter because any case that that comes up involving a meal bove, bove, whatever you want to call him, any single case that comes up involving any of Trump's policies and anything that the Trump regime has done, either in the first regime or the second regime, 24:37.477 --> 24:58.499 [SPEAKER_06]: Because in Neil Bovej has also said that he basically was a hundred percent backing Trump, any defendant who comes in front of him can immediately file a motion to recuse the judge, forcibly recuse the judge, saying that the judge has bias or a conflict of interest, and that will be judged by the other people who are on the judge panel, who are on the appeal of panel, and guess what? 24:59.120 --> 25:01.021 [SPEAKER_06]: A hundred percent certain that they will look at that and go. 25:01.081 --> 25:01.281 [SPEAKER_06]: Yep. 25:02.001 --> 25:02.181 [SPEAKER_06]: Yep. 25:02.841 --> 25:03.421 [SPEAKER_06]: Yep. 25:03.621 --> 25:05.282 [SPEAKER_06]: He should not be on the bed. 25:05.442 --> 25:06.062 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's. 25:06.262 --> 25:06.942 [SPEAKER_06]: No, he isn't. 25:06.962 --> 25:10.903 [SPEAKER_06]: But he's going to if if they're smart every single defender who comes from forum is going to do that. 25:11.243 --> 25:14.784 [SPEAKER_06]: He's going to sit there with an empty docket and he should have an empty docket. 25:14.824 --> 25:16.425 [SPEAKER_06]: He shouldn't have a damn thing to do. 25:17.988 --> 25:18.969 [SPEAKER_06]: because he shouldn't be there. 25:19.549 --> 25:23.111 [SPEAKER_06]: But, you know, they have now set themselves up. 25:23.391 --> 25:28.555 [SPEAKER_06]: It's similar to the stupid fight with in New Jersey, Alina Haba. 25:28.835 --> 25:29.155 [SPEAKER_02]: Bless you. 25:29.756 --> 25:30.016 [SPEAKER_06]: Thank you. 25:31.517 --> 25:37.821 [SPEAKER_06]: So, you remember we talked about this here, I think it was last week where they're trying to get back to our keeping her in there, yeah. 25:38.221 --> 25:38.481 [SPEAKER_06]: Right. 25:38.961 --> 25:43.624 [SPEAKER_06]: Well, because it is not set in law now, 25:44.770 --> 25:56.281 [SPEAKER_06]: Anybody who has a case in the Northern District of New Jersey where Lena Habo is, thank you, is technically the, she's the one running the office for the DOJ right now. 25:56.882 --> 26:00.545 [SPEAKER_06]: They can challenge that and they can say you are not legally in that office. 26:01.506 --> 26:04.789 [SPEAKER_06]: And since it hasn't been determined, whether she's legally in the office, 26:06.007 --> 26:08.389 [SPEAKER_06]: technically they really can't go any further. 26:08.429 --> 26:18.298 [SPEAKER_06]: Her office can't go any further and only so any any any any defendant who is in any case there can say you don't have and they've already started to have defendants do that and say you don't have the legal right to be here. 26:18.839 --> 26:24.804 [SPEAKER_06]: You don't have the legal right to run the office until we get exact final confirmation that you have the legal right to run the office. 26:25.845 --> 26:36.537 [SPEAKER_06]: in everything's frozen, which freezes everything in the northern district there, which really, I mean, you know, if you want crime to be low, you want criminals to get convicted, and guess what? 26:36.637 --> 26:41.122 [SPEAKER_06]: They can't really get convicted in that district right now, because Elena Haba is there. 26:41.563 --> 26:41.763 [UNKNOWN]: Thank you. 26:42.538 --> 26:42.678 [UNKNOWN]: Yeah. 26:43.619 --> 26:48.521 [SPEAKER_06]: So that's, it's similar to what's going on with, uh, Emil Bovey, who they, you know, well, this is how it's going to be. 26:48.541 --> 26:50.382 [SPEAKER_06]: You're like, well, congratulations. 26:50.422 --> 26:55.285 [SPEAKER_06]: You idiots have now set up a pile of rakes and every step forward you make. 26:56.185 --> 26:57.226 [SPEAKER_06]: You're going to hit and face with it. 26:57.386 --> 26:57.566 [SPEAKER_02]: Yep. 26:57.966 --> 26:58.787 [SPEAKER_06]: So I. 27:00.847 --> 27:03.090 [SPEAKER_06]: I just, I'm sitting there going these people are dumb as hell. 27:03.390 --> 27:05.933 [SPEAKER_06]: Russell Vought is another one of these jackasses. 27:06.093 --> 27:10.178 [SPEAKER_06]: I, there's some news about him today in the news on tap. 27:11.359 --> 27:16.665 [SPEAKER_06]: So we know that the right basically is trying to, to make things worse with government. 27:18.047 --> 27:20.169 [SPEAKER_06]: And we've got an EPA related story with that too. 27:20.890 --> 27:33.326 [SPEAKER_06]: But what we all know him as the author project, twenty twenty five, one of the architects of that current OMB director has now put a chokehold on billions of dollars in health research funding at the NIH. 27:35.573 --> 27:42.977 [SPEAKER_06]: which, and he thinks he could do it because of, we would talk about this here, one, two, three weeks ago, with the impoundment control act. 27:42.997 --> 27:44.258 [SPEAKER_02]: Right, right, right, right, right, right. 27:44.538 --> 27:55.285 [SPEAKER_06]: Right, and the administrative procedure act, which basically says, when Congress says, you do X in the executive branch, your job is to execute what you are told to do. 27:55.645 --> 27:58.847 [SPEAKER_06]: You don't get to, and he says, well, I don't like that law. 27:59.507 --> 28:09.333 [SPEAKER_06]: Even though the empowerment control act is a law that says that you can't impound as in grab the money from these other agencies and hold on to it, which is what he did. 28:09.753 --> 28:12.235 [SPEAKER_06]: He did that with the education money that they just last week. 28:12.255 --> 28:16.297 [SPEAKER_02]: They're a big plane that Donnie got and they took some money. 28:16.417 --> 28:20.600 [SPEAKER_06]: There's all kinds of things because if he can do empowerment control, 28:21.436 --> 28:23.537 [SPEAKER_06]: than anybody else can do empowerment control. 28:24.077 --> 28:29.219 [SPEAKER_06]: And there's conflicts, even within the manga people who are in the federal government under Trump now. 28:29.499 --> 28:32.180 [SPEAKER_06]: So this idea of, you know, he's saying, well, I can do it. 28:32.540 --> 28:34.500 [SPEAKER_06]: Well, no, you can't because it's not legal. 28:34.781 --> 28:39.442 [SPEAKER_06]: But even if someone said it was legal, if you can do it, then other people can do it too. 28:39.942 --> 28:49.566 [SPEAKER_06]: At that point, why should Congress fund any budget at all, which is yet again, one of the questions that the Democrats in the Senate are going to be asking is we head towards that September, thirty of budget date. 28:50.286 --> 28:50.486 [SPEAKER_06]: So 28:53.365 --> 28:55.446 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, no, no. 28:55.926 --> 29:00.528 [SPEAKER_06]: Maga Republicans that they also just keep making things worse for themselves. 29:01.028 --> 29:03.449 [SPEAKER_06]: Unfortunately, they keep making things worse for the rest of us, too. 29:03.589 --> 29:05.290 [SPEAKER_06]: But there is good news. 29:05.350 --> 29:08.832 [SPEAKER_06]: There is happy positive news in politics. 29:09.778 --> 29:14.199

him radio holidays because, you know, it's the kind of thing that you hear when you're, for example, in a bar listening to the radio and people say, hey, what magical day is today? 31:11.220 --> 31:13.001 [SPEAKER_06]: So what is today's magical day? 31:13.261 --> 31:14.702 [SPEAKER_02]: It is national cheesecake day. 31:15.318 --> 31:18.822 [SPEAKER_06]: Okay, so here's a little thing for my my parents hometown newspaper. 31:19.943 --> 31:20.663 [SPEAKER_06]: It says. 31:22.085 --> 31:26.249 [SPEAKER_06]: Raise your hand if you knew cheesecake dated to the third century BC. 31:26.649 --> 31:29.052 [SPEAKER_02]: I learned that when I was looking at the drink. 31:29.837 --> 31:30.477 [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, okay. 31:30.497 --> 31:31.098 [SPEAKER_06]: See, look at this. 31:31.358 --> 31:32.879 [SPEAKER_06]: Jody is smarter than I am on that. 31:32.939 --> 31:33.399 [SPEAKER_06]: I didn't even know. 31:33.479 --> 31:35.200 [SPEAKER_02]: I was like, there's a link to it, I think. 31:35.240 --> 31:36.080 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. 31:36.220 --> 31:42.543 [SPEAKER_06]: First, first document of recipe that comes close to modern cheese cake came from a prominent ancient Roman senator. 31:42.603 --> 31:43.303 [SPEAKER_06]: Maybe you've heard of him. 31:43.384 --> 31:44.224 [SPEAKER_06]: Kato the elder. 31:44.244 --> 31:46.385 [SPEAKER_02]: Is he related to Kato Kaling? 31:48.746 --> 31:55.432 [SPEAKER_06]: No, I think Kaylin is with a K in this guy was with a C, but he said they called to cheesecake. 31:55.452 --> 32:05.021 [SPEAKER_06]: They called it civilian and he said it was made from goat milk and honey back in ancient Rome often sprinkled with poppy seeds. 32:05.962 --> 32:06.823 [SPEAKER_02]: Ooh, then they got high. 32:08.645 --> 32:11.788 [SPEAKER_06]: Probably, I mean, you know, it was ancient Rome and it's poppy seeds. 32:12.788 --> 32:13.388 [SPEAKER_06]: Well, yeah. 32:13.748 --> 32:14.709 [SPEAKER_06]: Hello, was it a vase? 32:15.249 --> 32:17.050 [SPEAKER_02]: Puppies, puppies, and snow. 32:17.170 --> 32:22.212 [SPEAKER_02]: Hi, there's nothing about drugs in that at all. 32:23.732 --> 32:24.933 [SPEAKER_06]: Joe, he's giving me that look. 32:24.993 --> 32:26.353 [SPEAKER_06]: No, not that one, the other one. 32:27.974 --> 32:29.274 [SPEAKER_06]: The good look, the big eyes. 32:29.294 --> 32:30.675 [SPEAKER_06]: Are you kidding me, really? 32:30.955 --> 32:31.815 [SPEAKER_06]: So yeah, there. 32:32.796 --> 32:34.256 [SPEAKER_06]: So today is National Cheesecake Day. 32:34.316 --> 32:40.319 [SPEAKER_02]: So the drink of the day today is... It's an upside down Raspberry Cheesecake. 32:40.359 --> 32:40.979 [SPEAKER_02]: It's what it's called. 32:41.503 --> 32:44.665 [SPEAKER_06]: And upside down Raspberry Cheesecake is the name of the drink. 32:44.805 --> 32:47.047 [SPEAKER_06]: Okay, so so what is in this drink? 32:47.347 --> 32:50.390 [SPEAKER_02]: Well, first you need a martini glass because it looks pretty like that. 32:50.890 --> 32:53.312 [SPEAKER_02]: And a shaker and ice is where all used to that. 32:54.032 --> 32:56.474 [SPEAKER_02]: For fresh, if you can find them raspberries. 32:57.175 --> 33:00.317 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this is an out of black raspberry liquor like Cham board. 33:00.337 --> 33:01.778 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay. 33:02.018 --> 33:03.559 [SPEAKER_02]: Which is very sweet, by the way. 33:04.140 --> 33:04.300 [SPEAKER_03]: Right. 33:05.100 --> 33:06.741 [SPEAKER_02]: Half a fresh lemon peel grated. 33:06.761 --> 33:07.802 [SPEAKER_03]: Okay. 33:08.042 --> 33:13.705 [SPEAKER_02]: Two ounces of absolute vanilla vodka or any vanilla vodka that you get an absolute makes a really nice one. 33:14.245 --> 33:14.485 [SPEAKER_03]: Okay. 33:14.565 --> 33:17.187 [SPEAKER_02]: A half ounce of Gifford vanilla, Madagascar. 33:18.027 --> 33:18.708 [SPEAKER_02]: It's gonna cure. 33:19.388 --> 33:19.648 [SPEAKER_03]: Right. 33:19.828 --> 33:22.530 [SPEAKER_02]: And then some simple syrup basically. 33:22.630 --> 33:24.871 [SPEAKER_02]: Half an ounce of pure cane syrup. 33:25.331 --> 33:25.551 [SPEAKER_06]: Right. 33:25.932 --> 33:27.232 [SPEAKER_02]: You know, we've done that before. 33:27.773 --> 33:28.153 [SPEAKER_06]: Exactly. 33:28.713 --> 33:32.175 [SPEAKER_02]: Now, you need five bar spoons of mascarpone cheese. 33:32.195 --> 33:33.436 [SPEAKER_06]: No, no, what is a mark here? 33:33.476 --> 33:34.296 [SPEAKER_06]: It's just like a teaspoon. 33:34.476 --> 33:35.237 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, a bar spoon. 33:35.777 --> 33:36.257 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, a teaspoon. 33:36.277 --> 33:36.417 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay. 33:37.058 --> 33:37.598 [SPEAKER_06]: Okay, got it. 33:37.638 --> 33:40.279 [SPEAKER_06]: Okay, five, five teaspoons bar spoons of mascarpone. 33:40.439 --> 33:40.659 [SPEAKER_06]: Cool. 33:40.719 --> 33:41.000 [SPEAKER_02]: Uh-huh. 33:41.180 --> 33:43.061 [SPEAKER_02]: And an ounce of single cream half and half. 33:43.181 --> 33:43.921 [SPEAKER_02]: So it's very small. 33:44.882 --> 33:46.122 [SPEAKER_02]: And this is an English recipe. 33:46.162 --> 33:48.423 [SPEAKER_02]: So it's crumbled digestive biscuit for garners. 33:48.443 --> 33:51.005 [SPEAKER_02]: So I'm saying like, you know, Graham crackers. 33:51.766 --> 34:01.593 [SPEAKER_06]: My wife, well, you can use green crackers, but you can actually get in in a lot of bigger grocery stores, even some bodegas, depending on where you're at. 34:02.434 --> 34:05.276 [SPEAKER_06]: They have a section for like food from Europe. 34:06.156 --> 34:07.757 [SPEAKER_06]: It is one of the things that they will always have. 34:07.797 --> 34:09.659 [SPEAKER_06]: There is is God, what is it? 34:09.759 --> 34:11.060 [SPEAKER_06]: It's digestive biscuits. 34:11.280 --> 34:12.060 [SPEAKER_02]: That's what this is. 34:12.541 --> 34:13.882 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, it's basically little cookies. 34:14.242 --> 34:14.522 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 34:14.582 --> 34:15.863 [SPEAKER_02]: So you can use green crackers. 34:16.003 --> 34:19.986 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's the same kind of thing for those of us that are in these United States. 34:21.469 --> 34:24.271 [SPEAKER_02]: So first you, okay, remember how to muddle children. 34:24.291 --> 34:34.119 [SPEAKER_02]: We've done this before, like early on, but your first layer is basically you muddle the raspberries in the base of the shaker. 34:34.599 --> 34:40.163 [SPEAKER_02]: You had the shambord and then you shake with ice and find strained that into the martini glass. 34:40.924 --> 34:42.125 [SPEAKER_02]: That's your bottom layer. 34:42.285 --> 34:44.206 [SPEAKER_06]: Really nice bottom layer of raspberries. 34:44.247 --> 34:44.467 [SPEAKER_02]: Right. 34:45.328 --> 34:47.690 [SPEAKER_02]: And then you grate the lemon zest into the shaker. 34:47.710 --> 34:48.792 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay. 34:48.812 --> 34:50.534 [SPEAKER_02]: So that's going to give it a little more flavor. 34:50.814 --> 35:01.146 [SPEAKER_02]: And then you add the rest of the ingredients and you shake them all with the ice and strain into the glass over a spoon like we've done before and other things to layer it so that it doesn't blend with it. 35:01.720 --> 35:03.061 [SPEAKER_06]: or combining skills in this one. 35:03.201 --> 35:03.641 [SPEAKER_02]: We are. 35:04.241 --> 35:06.262 [SPEAKER_02]: And then you garnish with the digestive biscuit. 35:06.623 --> 35:09.384 [SPEAKER_02]: And if you look at the picture, you will see how you garnish. 35:09.404 --> 35:12.466 [SPEAKER_02]: You just kind of put it on top like it's the crust of the cake. 35:12.546 --> 35:12.826 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 35:12.846 --> 35:15.287 [SPEAKER_06]: You said you could do that like like with Graham crackers. 35:15.387 --> 35:15.847 [SPEAKER_02]: Exactly. 35:16.287 --> 35:16.668 [SPEAKER_02]: Exactly. 35:16.688 --> 35:16.828 [SPEAKER_06]: Exactly. 35:16.848 --> 35:17.168 [SPEAKER_06]: Oh yeah. 35:17.548 --> 35:20.029 [SPEAKER_02]: So it does sound more like a dessert than a drink to me. 35:20.330 --> 35:21.270 [SPEAKER_02]: It seems like a little thing. 35:21.290 --> 35:25.772 [SPEAKER_06]: I don't think I don't think it would be thick enough to do with a fork, but maybe you could do it with a spoon. 35:26.773 --> 35:29.674 [SPEAKER_06]: I still think it would be have a consistency enough that you could drink it. 35:29.694 --> 35:30.615 [SPEAKER_06]: It would definitely be sweet. 35:31.095 --> 35:33.636 [SPEAKER_02]: definitely and a little thicker than our average drink. 35:34.176 --> 35:37.957 [SPEAKER_02]: Um, but yeah, yeah, it sounds really good. 35:37.977 --> 35:39.617 [SPEAKER_06]: Like a raspberry cheesecake milkshake. 35:39.777 --> 35:40.938 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 35:41.318 --> 35:42.238 [SPEAKER_02]: That doesn't sound good. 35:42.798 --> 35:43.038 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. 35:43.158 --> 35:43.959 [SPEAKER_02]: No, I'm going to make one. 35:43.979 --> 35:44.459 [SPEAKER_02]: I'll be back. 35:46.459 --> 35:47.820 [SPEAKER_02]: I have to learn how to muddle myself. 35:49.665 --> 35:51.347 [SPEAKER_06]: Look, look, we're both good at muddling. 35:51.507 --> 35:54.330 [SPEAKER_06]: We don't have any. 35:54.970 --> 35:59.835 [SPEAKER_06]: Look, if you want to find out how to make the drink of the day today, you can get the recipe. 35:59.895 --> 36:06.202 [SPEAKER_06]: All you got to do is go to the politics bar dot com, sign up and subscribe there anytime. 36:07.275 --> 36:10.358 [SPEAKER_06]: All right, so back to the news on tap today. 36:10.778 --> 36:16.483 [SPEAKER_06]: Obviously, you probably heard earlier today that the Fed did leave interest rates unchanged. 36:16.503 --> 36:19.245 [SPEAKER_06]: Of course, I'm sure it made Donald mad, but whatever. 36:20.026 --> 36:22.248 [SPEAKER_06]: Look, Fed chair Powell really didn't care. 36:23.569 --> 36:32.236 [SPEAKER_06]: I did notice how much of the media basically misreported the economic information today on the GDP. 36:33.200 --> 36:39.167 [SPEAKER_06]: And I was surprised because the New York Times initial headline and it's still the same. 36:39.227 --> 36:43.713 [SPEAKER_06]: It says US economy slowed in first half of twenty twenty five as tariffs scrambled data. 36:44.134 --> 36:46.597 [SPEAKER_06]: It was not a good economic report today. 36:47.678 --> 36:49.940 [SPEAKER_06]: But a lot of the media came out said, oh, it was great. 36:50.000 --> 36:52.841 [SPEAKER_06]: And I'm like, you know, that just sounds like they're doing a bunch of ass kissing. 36:52.882 --> 36:54.423 [SPEAKER_06]: That sounds very obsequious. 36:55.083 --> 36:57.144 [SPEAKER_06]: And it was because they were in fact doing much. 36:57.184 --> 36:58.405 [SPEAKER_02]: You said a big word. 36:58.425 --> 37:02.868 [SPEAKER_06]: Basically, it means asking, but and that's what they're doing there. 37:02.888 --> 37:05.450 [SPEAKER_06]: They're, you know, being really nice to donning about it. 37:05.690 --> 37:06.771 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm still sick of it. 37:07.311 --> 37:07.771 [SPEAKER_06]: I did too. 37:07.851 --> 37:10.092 [SPEAKER_06]: Well, look, the economy slowed down. 37:10.733 --> 37:17.736 [SPEAKER_06]: The, yes, it is still technically positive, but it's anemic and it's slow because nobody can trust what's going on. 37:17.996 --> 37:19.437 [SPEAKER_06]: Perfect example this morning. 37:19.857 --> 37:27.721 [SPEAKER_06]: Donnie said he's going to drop a twenty five percent tariff on India plus plus a penalty because they traded for for Russia for oil. 37:29.162 --> 37:29.382 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. 37:29.822 --> 37:35.165 [SPEAKER_02]: I, if kids pharmaceutical companies make most of their drugs in India, 37:36.855 --> 37:39.337 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm on two blood pressure medications. 37:39.477 --> 37:41.339 [SPEAKER_02]: And I know they come because they're generic. 37:41.439 --> 37:42.740 [SPEAKER_02]: I know they come from there. 37:42.760 --> 37:45.302 [SPEAKER_02]: A lot of generic's come from India. 37:45.702 --> 37:49.945 [SPEAKER_02]: And most many people of my age group are on blood pressure medication. 37:49.965 --> 37:50.586 [SPEAKER_03]: Right. 37:51.126 --> 37:59.052 [SPEAKER_02]: And right now it's relatively inexpensive, but with a twenty five percent, that's going to, I mean, some people have to, you know, start cutting their meds. 37:59.072 --> 37:59.833 [SPEAKER_02]: And that's not right. 38:00.511 --> 38:06.633 [SPEAKER_06]: No, and it's, and it's all, look, as Paul Krugman has been critiquing and Paul Krugman's fantastic economist. 38:06.873 --> 38:08.594 [SPEAKER_06]: And I'm very glad he's got a good sub stack. 38:08.614 --> 38:10.695 [SPEAKER_06]: He's got a good piece we put it in the news on tap today. 38:11.295 --> 38:16.177 [SPEAKER_06]: About this trade deal, quote unquote, deal that Donnie did earlier in the week with the EU. 38:16.517 --> 38:18.018 [SPEAKER_06]: That's as bad as his deal with Japan. 38:18.138 --> 38:25.581 [SPEAKER_02]: All of this stuff is bad and, and has, have they actually signed deals or is it just, it's a deal and it's, it's all, ephemeral. 38:25.661 --> 38:28.382 [SPEAKER_06]: It's all ghostly, ghastly, fogish. 38:29.083 --> 38:33.054 [SPEAKER_02]: in the air legally speaking he can't do that congress does this 38:33.825 --> 38:39.127 [SPEAKER_06]: Well, but unless, as you've said a hundred times, unless Congress actually asserts themselves on this. 38:39.847 --> 38:42.088 [SPEAKER_06]: And as I usually say, they ain't doing that. 38:42.188 --> 38:43.489 [SPEAKER_06]: They're not asserting themselves. 38:43.689 --> 38:48.471 [SPEAKER_06]: They're, they're not doing anything, which brings us to Cory Booker. 38:49.251 --> 38:49.931 [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, yeah. 38:50.231 --> 38:52.272 [SPEAKER_02]: Before that though, I do have some breaking news. 38:52.812 --> 38:53.013 [SPEAKER_06]: What? 38:53.333 --> 38:57.934 [SPEAKER_02]: Vice President Harris is not going to run for the governorship of California. 38:57.994 --> 38:58.855 [SPEAKER_02]: She just announced it. 38:59.741 --> 39:01.343 [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, she answered a little bit earlier today. 39:01.423 --> 39:02.424 [SPEAKER_06]: I did not realize that. 39:02.504 --> 39:12.775 [SPEAKER_02]: But almost an hour ago, our time, and she said, I've given three thoughts to asking the people of California for the privilege to serve as their governor, not to go to Bloida Island. 39:14.336 --> 39:15.097 [SPEAKER_02]: I love this state. 39:15.177 --> 39:15.618 [SPEAKER_02]: It's people. 39:15.678 --> 39:16.258 [SPEAKER_02]: It's promise. 39:16.358 --> 39:16.959 [SPEAKER_02]: It is my home. 39:16.999 --> 39:20.943 [SPEAKER_02]: But after deep reflection, I've decided that I will not run for the governor in this election. 39:21.143 --> 39:22.384 [SPEAKER_02]: This election is specific. 39:23.085 --> 39:23.605 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay. 39:24.005 --> 39:25.226 [SPEAKER_06]: But no, I mean, it's nice. 39:25.246 --> 39:26.927 [SPEAKER_06]: It's nice to see you drop that a few hours ago. 39:27.007 --> 39:27.827 [SPEAKER_06]: I appreciate that. 39:28.047 --> 39:32.669 [SPEAKER_06]: I didn't think she was going to run for California governor anyway just because. 39:35.070 --> 39:38.651 [SPEAKER_06]: Well, California is a great state in a whole lot of ways. 39:40.272 --> 39:44.234 [SPEAKER_06]: But there is a massive difference between president and governor. 39:44.854 --> 39:45.014 [SPEAKER_02]: Yes. 39:46.134 --> 39:50.136 [SPEAKER_06]: And I still think I still think if she had the proper amount of time. 39:50.995 --> 39:56.176 [SPEAKER_06]: and the proper amount of run up and resources that she would have won. 39:56.196 --> 39:59.277 [SPEAKER_02]: And I still think she did win. 40:00.357 --> 40:06.459 [SPEAKER_06]: Well, it was within one percent, so that is definitely a question. 40:07.099 --> 40:18.762 [SPEAKER_06]: And as I've said, other times when other people have similar commentary about, you know, twenty, sixteen and whatever, the common I always have is, did you get off your ass and vote? 40:20.051 --> 40:23.232 [SPEAKER_06]: Did you get off your ass and do everything? 40:23.712 --> 40:27.754 [SPEAKER_06]: Did you literally pick up, oh God, I should have mentioned this. 40:27.794 --> 40:36.316 [SPEAKER_06]: So I saw yesterday when we had Pete Dominic in, his daughter is his, he's got a couple of very fun, very funny daughters. 40:36.356 --> 40:38.977 [SPEAKER_06]: They post on social media and he'll repost their stuff sometimes. 40:39.678 --> 40:46.660 [SPEAKER_06]: And so I guess his daughter is moving into one of his daughters is moving into like a fourth floor walk up or something apartment. 40:46.780 --> 40:47.080 [SPEAKER_06]: Okay. 40:48.317 --> 40:49.999 [SPEAKER_02]: Um, it exercise for your butt. 40:50.059 --> 40:51.520 [SPEAKER_06]: I'm just saying her granddad. 40:51.560 --> 40:58.347 [SPEAKER_06]: I don't know whether it's whether it's Pete's dad or her mom's dad anyway is is he's eighty something or whatever 41:00.557 --> 41:04.259 [SPEAKER_06]: And so she's done all this weight training everything and so she's like, clear, I'll lift you. 41:04.479 --> 41:08.561 [SPEAKER_06]: So she literally like had her grandpa get on her back and she's like, like, fireman's carrying. 41:08.741 --> 41:12.203 [SPEAKER_06]: She's, you know, like doing an example of that in their kitchen and she's laughing about it. 41:12.263 --> 41:15.545 [SPEAKER_06]: And I'm going, so yes, I get it. 41:18.826 --> 41:21.188 [SPEAKER_06]: But any, any who did it. 41:22.137 --> 41:27.040 [SPEAKER_02]: No, I mean, I'm glad that, okay, first off in twenty sixteen, Hillary did win the popular vote. 41:27.100 --> 41:29.621 [SPEAKER_06]: So Hillary, Hillary did win the popular vote. 41:30.242 --> 41:34.564 [SPEAKER_06]: And look, you can carry a lot of weight on your back as I guess what I'm saying. 41:36.085 --> 41:37.686 [SPEAKER_06]: But if you know how to do it. 41:39.827 --> 41:44.570 [SPEAKER_06]: And there's a difference between saying you're going to do it and doing it. 41:44.710 --> 41:45.711 [SPEAKER_06]: And the difference is great. 41:45.971 --> 41:49.433 [SPEAKER_06]: If you sit at home and you say you're going to vote, but then you don't vote. 41:50.547 --> 42:11.693 [SPEAKER_06]: when we when we win not if we win and it's not just small elections look um i've had words with jane club and i've had words for jane club jane club is the the um head of the democratic party of Nebraska and i like jane overall just because i like somebody doesn't mean i don't ever argue with them i do i've argued with jane before it's fine whatever but um 42:12.753 --> 42:19.655 [SPEAKER_06]: She put out some numbers this last week too that say there are like five hundred or there used to be just a few years ago. 42:19.675 --> 42:23.276 [SPEAKER_06]: There's only five hundred and some odd Democrats elected in the state of Nebraska. 42:23.936 --> 42:26.657 [SPEAKER_06]: And now I think it's closer to like eleven hundred or twelve hundred. 42:26.677 --> 42:27.137 [SPEAKER_06]: Wow. 42:28.558 --> 42:32.499 [SPEAKER_06]: They still have in one big state statewide race and they are definitely looking at that. 42:32.519 --> 42:33.799 [SPEAKER_06]: They're looking at that in the second district. 42:33.819 --> 42:35.580 [SPEAKER_06]: They're looking at that in running for Senate. 42:36.420 --> 42:38.501 [SPEAKER_06]: So yes, they're working towards that. 42:39.910 --> 42:52.835 [SPEAKER_06]: But when we win the next set of races, locally statewide, nationally, when we win these races, we need to do it with enough, with enough power, with enough energy that there's no question. 42:53.275 --> 42:58.237 [SPEAKER_06]: There should have been no question that Hillary Clinton won in, in, in, because some, because too many people sat out. 42:58.677 --> 42:59.377 [SPEAKER_06]: There was question. 42:59.597 --> 43:04.439 [SPEAKER_06]: There should have been no question that Kamala Harris won in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, in, because too many people sat out. 43:06.020 --> 43:06.480 [SPEAKER_06]: There's question. 43:07.282 --> 43:09.025 [SPEAKER_06]: So, you know, long and short. 43:09.406 --> 43:11.369 [SPEAKER_06]: If you want to, you know, if you want to do a heavy lift, 43:12.290 --> 43:13.911 [SPEAKER_06]: You got to do the exercise first. 43:14.051 --> 43:22.274 [SPEAKER_06]: And the exercise when it comes to politics is getting out there, campaigns, the local, the state level, and also standing up when it matters. 43:22.334 --> 43:24.234 [SPEAKER_06]: So look, we won't talk about somebody who did it. 43:24.254 --> 43:26.615 [SPEAKER_06]: We'll talk about Senator Cory Booker standing up when it matters. 43:27.135 --> 43:28.616 [SPEAKER_06]: We got that coming up after the break. 43:28.676 --> 43:29.656 [SPEAKER_06]: Fresh and up your drink. 43:29.716 --> 43:32.337 [SPEAKER_06]: It's a Wednesday night here at the politics bar. 43:32.397 --> 43:34.078 [SPEAKER_06]: Bob Cess, we're coming in this next hour too. 43:34.178 --> 43:35.178 [SPEAKER_06]: So come on back. 43:35.578 --> 43:37.459 [SPEAKER_06]: Have a drink with Jody and me and Bob. 43:37.599 --> 43:38.660 [SPEAKER_06]: And we'll talk about Cory too. 43:39.300 --> 43:39.560 [SPEAKER_06]: All right. 43:40.218 --> 43:41.700 [SPEAKER_06]: All right, get another round. 43:41.981 --> 43:42.241 [SPEAKER_06]: Hang on. 43:51.976 --> 43:55.421 [SPEAKER_05]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills of the politics

44:50.697 --> 44:51.977 [SPEAKER_02]: That sounded very Elvis-like. 44:52.037 --> 44:52.477 [SPEAKER_02]: It was nice. 44:53.317 --> 44:53.717 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, thank you. 44:53.897 --> 44:54.238 [SPEAKER_06]: Thank you. 44:54.458 --> 44:55.178 [SPEAKER_02]: Thank you very much. 44:55.198 --> 44:58.158 [SPEAKER_02]: See? 44:58.719 --> 44:59.999 [SPEAKER_06]: Great minds, think alike. 45:00.619 --> 45:04.320 [SPEAKER_06]: Unfortunately, so to all the idiots, but yeah. 45:04.480 --> 45:07.600 [SPEAKER_06]: Well, it would be better if we weren't governed by them right now. 45:07.700 --> 45:09.821 [SPEAKER_06]: But, you know, that's kind of how I guess. 45:11.261 --> 45:11.561 [SPEAKER_06]: All right. 45:11.621 --> 45:13.442 [SPEAKER_06]: So hang on a second. 45:14.222 --> 45:14.542 [SPEAKER_02]: What's you? 45:15.774 --> 45:18.655 [SPEAKER_06]: Hi, but yeah, I just had to say a little in a hobby there again. 45:20.415 --> 45:27.617 [SPEAKER_06]: Alright, look, we've got a lot of news on the news on tap today and we went through some of the more serious stuff in our one as some of you in the bar here. 45:27.677 --> 45:37.260 [SPEAKER_06]: No, obviously what's going on in Gaza, the earthquake and tsunami, the stuff with Donnie, we will definitely talk a little bit more about some of these things coming up. 45:38.760 --> 45:42.244 [SPEAKER_06]: But we want to get back into talking about one of the things that is really good. 45:43.246 --> 45:44.107 [SPEAKER_06]: So Cory Booker. 45:44.648 --> 45:45.308 [SPEAKER_06]: Yes. 45:45.649 --> 45:51.657 [SPEAKER_06]: I don't know if you did you understand what he was arguing about and how that how that whole thing came about. 45:51.677 --> 45:53.740 [SPEAKER_02]: How do I believe it was about Bovay. 45:55.289 --> 45:58.631 [SPEAKER_06]: kind of, it was, I believe, secondarily about Bovay. 45:59.332 --> 46:01.233 [SPEAKER_06]: It was about police funding. 46:01.453 --> 46:03.674 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, that's what it is because Clovishark got mad at him. 46:04.255 --> 46:04.475 [SPEAKER_06]: Right. 46:04.975 --> 46:05.175 [SPEAKER_06]: Right. 46:05.575 --> 46:18.923 [SPEAKER_06]: Clovishark and Cortez Masto, two Democratic senators, Clovishark from Minnesota, Cortez Masto from Nevada, got mad at him because so they have this bill that they've been working on in the Senate, which you'll probably go nowhere in the House. 46:19.144 --> 46:20.725 [SPEAKER_06]: But they have this bill. 46:21.775 --> 46:26.119 [SPEAKER_06]: And it is the supposed to be for getting police funding and different things like that. 46:26.939 --> 46:38.709 [SPEAKER_06]: But because of some of Trump's executive orders, even if it does get through the house, some of that money is not going to end up going to Nevada, which win cities or New Jersey. 46:39.912 --> 46:41.733 [SPEAKER_06]: And Corey was like, this is crap. 46:41.773 --> 46:45.595 [SPEAKER_06]: And he wanted to put up an amendment and the other some of the other Democrats were knocking him down. 46:45.635 --> 46:47.537 [SPEAKER_06]: They're like, well, we just want to get the bill done. 46:48.237 --> 46:52.259 [SPEAKER_06]: And Corey is like, excuse me, you just want to get the bill done and get it done right. 46:53.000 --> 46:53.220 [SPEAKER_06]: Right. 46:53.360 --> 46:55.221 [SPEAKER_06]: So he, he got on the center floor. 46:55.261 --> 46:55.781 [SPEAKER_06]: Here's what he did. 46:55.801 --> 46:56.482 [SPEAKER_06]: It was fantastic. 46:56.502 --> 46:58.483 [SPEAKER_00]: The Democratic Party needs to wake up call. 47:00.649 --> 47:10.839 [SPEAKER_00]: I see law firms bending a knee to this president, not caring about the larger principles, and those free speech rights that you could take on any client, why are you bending the knee? 47:11.260 --> 47:15.964 [SPEAKER_00]: I see universities that should be bastions of free speech. 47:16.805 --> 47:18.946 [SPEAKER_00]: bending at the knee to this president. 47:19.266 --> 47:27.469 [SPEAKER_00]: I see businesses taking late night talk show hosts off the air because they dare to insult a president. 47:27.589 --> 47:33.252 [SPEAKER_00]: I see people who want mergers suddenly think that they have to pay tribute to this president. 47:34.379 --> 47:50.477 [SPEAKER_00]: And one of the very people here elected to defend the Constitution of the United States saying, oh, well, today, let's look the other way and pass some resources that won't go to Connecticut, that won't go to Illinois, that won't go to New York, that will go to the States he likes. 47:53.897 --> 47:58.861 [SPEAKER_00]: That is complicity with a authoritarian leader who is trashing our Constitution. 47:59.121 --> 48:04.265 [SPEAKER_00]: It's time for Democrats have a backbone, it's time for us to fight, it's time for us to draw lines. 48:04.525 --> 48:09.609 [SPEAKER_00]: And when it comes to the safety of my state, being denied these grants, that's why I'm standing here. 48:09.889 --> 48:20.597 [SPEAKER_00]: Don't question my integrity, don't question my motives, I'm standing for Jersey, I am standing for my police officers, I'm standing for the Constitution, and I'm standing for what's right. 48:21.097 --> 48:25.000 [SPEAKER_00]: And dear God, if you want to come up, be that way, you're going to have to take it up with me. 48:25.340 --> 48:30.685 [SPEAKER_00]: Because there's too much on the line right now in America. 48:32.086 --> 48:33.647 [SPEAKER_06]: Amen. 48:34.908 --> 48:36.970 [SPEAKER_06]: I am very, very glad. 48:37.310 --> 48:39.652 [SPEAKER_06]: But I know him that he is a good man. 48:40.132 --> 48:45.036 [SPEAKER_06]: And do you know how much it takes to piss Cory Booker off? 48:45.737 --> 48:48.479 [SPEAKER_02]: I think a lot, because he seems like a very kind of mellow guy. 48:49.071 --> 48:51.833 [SPEAKER_06]: It would be like pissing off the Pope or current the frog. 48:51.973 --> 48:53.855 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so he is as mellow as I think. 48:56.356 --> 48:58.558 [SPEAKER_06]: He is very much in many ways. 48:59.739 --> 49:02.961 [SPEAKER_06]: I won't say that he is a true pacifist, but he leans that direction. 49:03.342 --> 49:04.362 [SPEAKER_06]: He would like to be. 49:04.883 --> 49:09.346 [SPEAKER_06]: And that's one of the things that always drives me nuts because I know that he can kick ass when he needs to. 49:09.866 --> 49:15.371 [SPEAKER_06]: And so him saying to other Democrats, it's time to get off off the mat and kick some ass. 49:16.516 --> 49:17.397 [SPEAKER_06]: I'm damn right. 49:19.218 --> 49:20.598 [SPEAKER_06]: I'm so freaking proud of him right now. 49:20.638 --> 49:21.259 [SPEAKER_06]: It isn't funny. 49:21.819 --> 49:25.841 [SPEAKER_02]: No, he did the right thing and Democrats should. 49:26.902 --> 49:29.663 [SPEAKER_06]: And look, I will admit he has passed some of these nominees. 49:30.383 --> 49:32.525 [SPEAKER_06]: He has done some of these things because he was trying. 49:32.905 --> 49:35.666 [SPEAKER_06]: He was trying to do the right thing because that's what Corey does. 49:36.327 --> 49:46.172 [SPEAKER_06]: But he's now gotten a point where even he is fed up with this, fed up with and he's saying to other Senate Democrats enough is enough is enough is enough is enough. 49:46.842 --> 49:48.023 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and he's right. 49:48.843 --> 49:53.045 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I am, I heard some BS too. 49:53.345 --> 50:01.870 [SPEAKER_06]: On CNN, heard a little bit on MSNBC, kind of camera which radio station I was flipping through earlier, I radio surf sometimes too. 50:03.211 --> 50:08.053 [SPEAKER_06]: And I heard this on multiple places, the Democrat you can't really do anything. 50:08.073 --> 50:12.395 [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, I heard it with the Claremma Casco this morning when I was flipping channels and. 50:12.475 --> 50:13.396 [SPEAKER_02]: I love and shade her. 50:13.516 --> 50:15.457 [SPEAKER_02]: It's like the weird, I have a weird relationship. 50:15.677 --> 50:25.562 [SPEAKER_06]: there are a fair title clear to I agree but but she's saying you know well Democrats don't really have any any power so you know what what Cory Booker did was was basically performative that's fine. 50:26.962 --> 50:43.010 [SPEAKER_06]: When when you don't have a whole lot of power it's BS that that Democrats can't do anything because they don't have power we already know that Schumer is trying to get the the Epstein things through yes because there is a way that there's a little bit of power and what Booker did is doing something it's not nothing. 50:43.450 --> 51:09.658 [SPEAKER_06]: to point it out to everybody else that look there is a time when even the most go along get along peaceful person says I've had it enough we need to make sure that we put sticks in the wheels of everything Republicans in this Congress are doing yep and that's what he did with that yeah no he was he was great he's he's hell of a guy he's he's an amazing guy he is he's just he's a fantastic person and 51:32.331 --> 51:34.953 [SPEAKER_06]: But, you know, we don't say, you know, I've done what you forever. 51:35.113 --> 51:39.776 [SPEAKER_06]: We don't do what Jeffrey Epstein did or what Donald Trump did to Jeffrey Epstein. 51:39.836 --> 51:40.917 [SPEAKER_06]: You stole my people. 51:40.937 --> 51:42.358 [SPEAKER_06]: Oh my god. 51:42.458 --> 51:43.939 [SPEAKER_06]: The word stole still just. 51:44.919 --> 51:55.647 [SPEAKER_06]: I rackles you and it does me to a little bit, but I think I think maybe it doesn't bother me as much because I, you know, I lived and I worked down on West Palm Beach for a number of years and that that I'd already heard this story. 51:55.927 --> 51:59.029 [SPEAKER_06]: What rankled me more was the fact that the media was like, this is new. 51:59.049 --> 51:59.989 [SPEAKER_06]: I'm like, no. 52:01.010 --> 52:01.671 [SPEAKER_06]: This is old. 52:01.871 --> 52:02.952 [SPEAKER_06]: You need to bring it back up. 52:03.052 --> 52:08.497 [SPEAKER_06]: And when you do, you can bring back up the Virginia Jew free quotes. 52:08.998 --> 52:12.281 [SPEAKER_06]: Yes, I realized that she committed suicide in April of this year. 52:12.401 --> 52:13.062 [SPEAKER_06]: And it's awful. 52:13.162 --> 52:16.025 [SPEAKER_02]: And I, you know, our dad doesn't think it was suicide. 52:17.703 --> 52:35.228 [SPEAKER_06]: I heard that too, but you know that's that that is that is to be determined, but look the fact is If you're gonna be in the news and you're gonna report this stuff if it's not new Don't tell me to it's it's it's like when they go on and they go breaking news water is wet and fire is hot 52:36.351 --> 52:39.814 [SPEAKER_06]: You're like, yeah, no kid, and that is not breaking news. 52:40.474 --> 52:45.719 [SPEAKER_06]: Everything, whoosh, whoosh, zoom, flash on the screen, a breaking news. 52:46.539 --> 52:55.707 [SPEAKER_06]: You're like, it's not breaking news, Jack asked, you know, just admit, if you're gonna do that, do what they did in the tabloids in London. 52:55.967 --> 53:00.470 [SPEAKER_06]: They didn't put it on the front cover, but they put it on the inside where they put the pictures of the topless women. 53:01.691 --> 53:04.534 [SPEAKER_06]: And they would say on the outside, topless woman on page two. 53:06.343 --> 53:09.270 [SPEAKER_06]: Just admit, I don't really want to do news. 53:09.852 --> 53:11.315 [SPEAKER_06]: I want to get your attention. 53:11.776 --> 53:12.999 [SPEAKER_06]: I want to do entertainment. 53:13.300 --> 53:14.182 [SPEAKER_06]: Look at my boobies. 53:15.932 --> 53:16.813 [SPEAKER_06]: Fine, whatever. 53:16.853 --> 53:17.974 [SPEAKER_06]: That's what you want to do. 53:18.334 --> 53:19.816 [SPEAKER_06]: Fan, free, fantastic. 53:20.436 --> 53:22.018 [SPEAKER_06]: Let's just have the honesty to admit that. 53:22.118 --> 53:25.601 [SPEAKER_06]: But don't tell me that there's something that's new information when they know new information. 53:26.001 --> 53:26.742 [SPEAKER_06]: Is this information? 53:26.802 --> 53:27.002 [SPEAKER_06]: Yes. 53:27.262 --> 53:30.225 [SPEAKER_06]: You were right when you said this narrow one, Joe, maybe some people don't know the information. 53:30.666 --> 53:33.829 [SPEAKER_06]: But then you say, hey, maybe you didn't know this fact. 53:34.149 --> 53:40.535 [SPEAKER_02]: Well, that's like with, I mean, Kevin Spacey, we all knew about him being kicked out of bathhouses in Los Angeles for years. 53:41.082 --> 53:43.683 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, and and look in the in the comedian circles. 53:43.723 --> 53:48.225 [SPEAKER_06]: You talked to comedians who did the strip along with Bob with Bill Cosby. 53:48.365 --> 53:48.585 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah. 53:49.206 --> 53:49.486 [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, yeah. 53:49.606 --> 53:50.106 [SPEAKER_06]: And they knew. 53:50.126 --> 53:57.969 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, they did the people from people I know they just thought he was having an affair affairs with these women. 53:58.029 --> 53:59.930 [SPEAKER_02]: They didn't realize what he was actually doing. 54:01.751 --> 54:03.612 [SPEAKER_02]: They thought he was just stepping out on Camille. 54:03.712 --> 54:03.972 [SPEAKER_02]: That's 54:04.698 --> 54:09.822 [SPEAKER_06]: Which is still, especially given the fact that Bill Cosby was all like, look, you know, you got to be upright and upstanding. 54:10.382 --> 54:11.683 [SPEAKER_06]: That's where you go, hey man, come on. 54:11.743 --> 54:17.468 [SPEAKER_02]: I know, I mean, regardless of what people thought, it was still wrong for them not to tell his wife. 54:18.212 --> 54:36.159 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, and I and you, but that's that is that is the contrast between Cory Booker who gets out there and stands up and says have had enough and let's let's fight and let's do things right and then you get some of these other speaking of which there's some more good news in politics for Democrats. 54:37.219 --> 54:39.160 [SPEAKER_06]: The elections that are going on this year are looking pretty good. 54:39.200 --> 54:44.904 [SPEAKER_06]: Less than a hundred days here in the DC Metro area, the Virginia area of the bar specifically. 54:45.345 --> 54:54.171 [SPEAKER_06]: Less than a hundred days until the Virginia elections and Abigail Spanberger leads her Republican opponent, twelve point advantage, major fundraising advantage. 54:55.151 --> 55:03.237 [SPEAKER_06]: Up in New Jersey, Corey's area of the woods, Democratic candidate, Mickey Cheryl, leading Republican Jack, generally by eight points right now. 55:03.517 --> 55:05.578 [SPEAKER_06]: So let's let's get that up to double digits up there. 55:05.638 --> 55:06.498 [SPEAKER_06]: You New Jersey folks. 55:06.538 --> 55:06.858 [SPEAKER_06]: Come on. 55:07.178 --> 55:07.419 [SPEAKER_06]: Come on. 55:07.519 --> 55:08.019 [SPEAKER_06]: You can do that. 55:09.439 --> 55:14.841 [SPEAKER_06]: By the way, if you think Donald Trump is going to help Republicans, they're dragging an anchor. 55:14.962 --> 55:21.104 [SPEAKER_06]: New Reuters, Epso's poll has Trump's approval rating to forty percent, sixty percent disapprove of him. 55:21.824 --> 55:22.885 [SPEAKER_06]: That's almost two to one. 55:23.545 --> 55:23.645 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 55:24.783 --> 55:24.943 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. 55:25.323 --> 55:27.984 [SPEAKER_06]: So if Republicans are like, Oh, well, they've got Trump. 55:28.404 --> 55:29.304 [SPEAKER_06]: Trump is an anchor. 55:29.945 --> 55:32.786 [SPEAKER_06]: And the longer that people have him around, the less they like him. 55:32.926 --> 55:34.266 [SPEAKER_06]: It was that way in his first regime. 55:34.386 --> 55:35.607 [SPEAKER_06]: It's going to be that way in a second. 55:35.887 --> 55:40.688 [SPEAKER_06]: So one more political note. 55:41.728 --> 55:43.029 [SPEAKER_06]: I believe you flag this one for me. 55:43.069 --> 55:43.609 [SPEAKER_06]: Kegbreath. 55:44.629 --> 55:52.492 [SPEAKER_06]: Some sources of the Pentagon are denying this, but other sources are claiming that Kegbreath Higgs F has discussed running for political office in Tennessee. 55:53.221 --> 55:53.782 [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, he has. 55:54.282 --> 55:59.046 [SPEAKER_06]: Which, uh, you know, uh, the only place I would like to see him run is maybe back to Fox weekends. 55:59.847 --> 56:09.815 [SPEAKER_06]: That's, that's, that's the only place that I would like to see Pete Kegbrath run to is is the, uh, Fox weekends just because, you know, that's, uh, that's the kind of place I would like to see him run. 56:09.855 --> 56:11.837 [SPEAKER_06]: Hey, look who's, look who just came into the bar. 56:11.917 --> 56:13.078 [SPEAKER_02]: Hey, I know that guy. 56:13.098 --> 56:16.041 [SPEAKER_06]: Hey, it's Bob Sesska. 56:16.161 --> 56:17.462 [SPEAKER_06]: He is here tonight. 56:18.002 --> 56:19.824 [SPEAKER_06]: And he can say the politics bar. 56:20.862 --> 56:40.371

58:32.258 [SPEAKER_06]: And it has been kind of a hot, ugly week weather wise. 58:32.838 --> 58:33.699 [SPEAKER_06]: The earthquake stuff. 58:33.719 --> 58:35.360 [SPEAKER_06]: Why did you hear about the earthquakes to an army stuff? 58:35.521 --> 58:37.242 [SPEAKER_06]: Was it last night you heard about it? 58:37.322 --> 58:38.803 [SPEAKER_06]: Or was it this morning first thing? 58:38.843 --> 58:39.824 [SPEAKER_06]: No, this morning. 58:39.984 --> 58:40.505 [SPEAKER_03]: Same morning. 58:40.865 --> 58:41.105 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. 58:41.385 --> 58:42.106 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. 58:42.186 --> 58:44.208 [SPEAKER_06]: I was thinking of you, Jodie, early this morning. 58:44.248 --> 58:47.590 [SPEAKER_06]: But then I went and looked on social earnings and Jodie, it was fine. 58:47.630 --> 58:48.191 [SPEAKER_06]: Nothing is fine. 58:48.231 --> 58:53.195 [SPEAKER_02]: No, I mean, if Bob's still lived in Hawaii, that would have been a problem potentially. 58:53.415 --> 58:55.537 [SPEAKER_02]: But no, I live so far inland that it was like, 58:56.379 --> 59:01.163 [SPEAKER_06]: Do either of you know anybody in Hawaii who kind of lives closer to the coast and was a little bit worried about that. 59:01.203 --> 59:02.864 [SPEAKER_02]: I think Hawaii was hit first. 59:03.524 --> 59:04.305 [SPEAKER_02]: Okay. 59:04.345 --> 59:23.039 [SPEAKER_02]: With like a five foot wave so it wasn't too bad because it was you know thousands of miles but I mean there was some and I believe they've taken all the warnings off and now it's just kind of advisories because there's still the aftershocks are almost seven point out so I mean there's still big earthquakes happening there. 59:23.399 --> 59:23.639 [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. 59:23.679 --> 59:23.779 [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. 59:24.620 --> 59:33.222 [SPEAKER_07]: But I was there for one tsunami warning, and I think water's rose and Kona and took out some businesses right there in the coast. 59:34.102 --> 59:37.343 [SPEAKER_07]: But by large, there was no, I mean, I wasn't affected at all. 59:38.323 --> 59:44.745 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because the big island is so much farther towards the mainland than like Hawaii is or a neat hour. 59:45.585 --> 59:47.687 [SPEAKER_02]: You know, Maui did get that I believe. 59:47.747 --> 59:48.747 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, depends on the angle. 59:48.767 --> 59:52.790 [SPEAKER_02]: I think Maui got hit by a wave, but not like they weren't twenty footers. 59:52.850 --> 59:53.851 [SPEAKER_02]: They, you know, right. 59:53.891 --> 59:54.071 [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. 59:54.411 --> 59:57.634 [SPEAKER_07]: That's just kind of a water just kind of rises up and flows in. 59:57.674 --> 01:00:00.936 [SPEAKER_07]: It's almost like a very, very rapid high tide, but higher than. 01:00:00.956 --> 01:00:01.116 [SPEAKER_07]: Right. 01:00:02.197 --> 01:00:04.019 [SPEAKER_07]: You know, that's, that's what it looks like. 01:00:04.099 --> 01:00:04.539 [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. 01:00:04.579 --> 01:00:07.962 [SPEAKER_06]: Got, got back from the bar last night here and flipped on. 01:00:08.002 --> 01:00:08.862 [SPEAKER_06]: You flip, I can't. 01:00:08.942 --> 01:00:09.843 [SPEAKER_06]: I flip through channels. 01:00:10.083 --> 01:00:12.785 [SPEAKER_06]: I still have, you know, YouTube TV and flip through the channel. 01:00:12.805 --> 01:00:20.892 [SPEAKER_06]: And NBC News now, they're, they're streaming news was streaming the local station in Honolulu. 01:00:21.272 --> 01:00:21.552 [SPEAKER_03]: Oh wow. 01:00:21.612 --> 01:00:24.374 [SPEAKER_06]: And I was like, oh, okay. 01:00:24.394 --> 01:00:25.675 [SPEAKER_06]: There's this is actual news. 01:00:25.796 --> 01:00:31.020 [SPEAKER_06]: Because usually at that time of night, they're on to like, repeats of whatever it is, you know, date line or whatever. 01:00:31.640 --> 01:00:34.701 [SPEAKER_06]: And I'm like, no, no, they actually had like life and I was like, oh, okay. 01:00:35.061 --> 01:00:43.184 [SPEAKER_06]: So then I flipped over and CNN was still having their feces flinging fest, you know, let's get a right winner and a left winner and how them hate each other. 01:00:44.445 --> 01:00:44.745 [SPEAKER_06]: Whatever. 01:00:45.525 --> 01:00:48.526 [SPEAKER_06]: And I flipped over to MSNBC and they dipped in. 01:00:48.566 --> 01:00:52.828 [SPEAKER_06]: I believe it was Stephanie Roll and she dipped in and said, okay, this is going on. 01:00:52.888 --> 01:00:58.170 [SPEAKER_06]: And if there's something important and then they went back to talking about Donald Trump and the Epstein files. 01:00:58.310 --> 01:00:58.790 [SPEAKER_06]: And I was like, 01:00:59.730 --> 01:01:03.854 [SPEAKER_06]: Okay, you can see who's doing the work and who isn't. 01:01:04.074 --> 01:01:20.107 [SPEAKER_06]: And it was just, it was nice to see at least one of the channels that I just, you know, ding, ding, ding, ding got a quick channel flip was actually doing live, even if they were just taking the feed from the local affiliate in Hulu, I was like, which was probably a friend of mine's station, because a friend of mine works for some local television. 01:01:20.768 --> 01:01:21.008 [SPEAKER_07]: Cool. 01:01:21.248 --> 01:01:26.233 [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, local media in Hawaii is just the most awesome thing ever. 01:01:27.713 --> 01:01:31.654 [SPEAKER_07]: But they still have live local DJs on the radio in Hawaii. 01:01:32.935 --> 01:01:34.935 [SPEAKER_07]: And the local newscasters. 01:01:35.035 --> 01:01:36.856 [SPEAKER_07]: It's just, they wear a lot of hushards. 01:01:36.936 --> 01:01:38.896 [SPEAKER_07]: I mean, they wear a lot of hushards. 01:01:38.936 --> 01:01:40.497 [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, that's the formal wear in Hawaii. 01:01:40.517 --> 01:01:45.378 [SPEAKER_07]: I have never seen a TV show and someone's wearing a shirt like a jacket and a tie in Hawaii. 01:01:45.658 --> 01:01:46.679 [SPEAKER_07]: That's completely wrong. 01:01:46.739 --> 01:01:48.719 [SPEAKER_07]: No one wears a jacket and a tie in Hawaii. 01:01:48.759 --> 01:01:51.300 [SPEAKER_02]: I just want you to know Hawaii Five O episode with Jack Lord. 01:01:53.002 --> 01:01:56.544 [SPEAKER_02]: He's running in a cane field. 01:01:56.624 --> 01:01:58.204 [SPEAKER_02]: He's running in a cane field. 01:01:58.224 --> 01:01:58.404 [SPEAKER_02]: He did. 01:01:58.444 --> 01:01:59.885 [SPEAKER_07]: He should have been after the show was over. 01:01:59.925 --> 01:02:00.485 [SPEAKER_02]: He still lived there. 01:02:00.505 --> 01:02:01.085 [SPEAKER_07]: He loved it there. 01:02:08.048 --> 01:02:08.508 [SPEAKER_07]: That's funny. 01:02:08.568 --> 01:02:09.389 [SPEAKER_07]: No, that doesn't happen. 01:02:09.429 --> 01:02:16.435 [SPEAKER_07]: In fact, I love that line from that George Clooney Alexander pain movie, the descendants, which is one of my all-time favorite movies. 01:02:16.495 --> 01:02:17.876 [SPEAKER_07]: It's so well captures. 01:02:18.117 --> 01:02:18.577 [SPEAKER_02]: It really does. 01:02:18.697 --> 01:02:19.738 [SPEAKER_07]: It really does. 01:02:20.439 --> 01:02:25.603 [SPEAKER_07]: And he describes the wealthiest people in Hawaii looking like homeless people in beach bumps. 01:02:26.263 --> 01:02:26.524 [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. 01:02:27.264 --> 01:02:28.565 [SPEAKER_07]: That's exactly what it's like. 01:02:28.625 --> 01:02:28.886 [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. 01:02:29.546 --> 01:02:29.766 [SPEAKER_07]: It's easy. 01:02:29.786 --> 01:02:32.609 [SPEAKER_07]: Because of the Aloha shirts and those, you know, no one wears shoes. 01:02:32.629 --> 01:02:33.690 [SPEAKER_02]: And slippers. 01:02:33.770 --> 01:02:34.951 [SPEAKER_07]: I mean, it's the whole. 01:02:35.591 --> 01:02:37.773 [SPEAKER_06]: It's a totally different attitude. 01:02:37.893 --> 01:02:44.958 [SPEAKER_06]: First person that I knew somewhat well was a young woman that I knew when I was at my first two years in college in Iowa. 01:02:45.699 --> 01:02:50.022 [SPEAKER_06]: And she was from Hawaii and man, nothing would rattled her. 01:02:50.482 --> 01:02:50.963 [SPEAKER_06]: Nothing would. 01:02:51.243 --> 01:02:54.585 [SPEAKER_06]: She was just the most calm even you're like, 01:02:55.846 --> 01:03:02.112 [SPEAKER_06]: And she says, well, a lot of people who are like this, and I was like, serious. 01:03:02.352 --> 01:03:02.632 [SPEAKER_06]: Damn. 01:03:03.132 --> 01:03:04.714 [SPEAKER_07]: So I loved living. 01:03:04.774 --> 01:03:10.538 [SPEAKER_07]: I lived there for five years and I loved it, except it was just too expensive and if you cover politics. 01:03:11.539 --> 01:03:13.761 [SPEAKER_07]: You're about six hours behind the times. 01:03:14.321 --> 01:03:16.663 [SPEAKER_07]: You're six hours behind Washington DC time. 01:03:17.043 --> 01:03:30.012 [SPEAKER_07]: So I always say if I woke up at six o'clock in the morning and immediately started like watching the news and covering the news, things had already been underway for six hours right in Washington DC. 01:03:30.312 --> 01:03:33.354 [SPEAKER_07]: So it's a constant catch-up process to do. 01:03:33.374 --> 01:03:36.116 [SPEAKER_06]: For those of you who think Jody wakes up way too freaking early. 01:03:38.117 --> 01:03:48.764 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh no, in Bob was doing Stephanie show at six thirty in the morning LA time and living in Hawaii depending on the time of year it was either four thirty in the morning or three thirty in the morning his time. 01:03:49.304 --> 01:04:03.753 [SPEAKER_07]: In fact, I'm surprised I got asked back to be on Stephanie's show on a regular basis because I'd have to get up at three o'clock in the morning or two thirty in a more something ridiculous like Jodi time and to do that show and I'm surprised I was all at all coherent. 01:04:05.394 --> 01:04:10.137 [SPEAKER_07]: Well, if that hour of the morning, he was just, it was, that's, that's, that's, oh God, not fun. 01:04:10.157 --> 01:04:10.298 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. 01:04:10.318 --> 01:04:11.138 [SPEAKER_07]: To get up that early. 01:04:11.198 --> 01:04:11.398 [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. 01:04:11.819 --> 01:04:12.019 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. 01:04:12.039 --> 01:04:14.300 [SPEAKER_06]: Getting up at Oh God, thirty is at least for me. 01:04:14.360 --> 01:04:15.421 [SPEAKER_06]: That's, that's narrow any fun. 01:04:15.521 --> 01:04:18.363 [SPEAKER_06]: That's why I call it Oh God, thirty because you get up the first thing you say is, oh God. 01:04:21.044 --> 01:04:29.928 [SPEAKER_06]: I stream something else when I saw this earlier this week because I was geeked up when I saw this. 01:04:30.088 --> 01:04:43.154 [SPEAKER_06]: So I was going through, you know, the page and through blue sky and I see this post by Bob and then I notice it's on threads, it's on, you put it on all the platforms and it was fantastic. 01:04:43.834 --> 01:04:49.036 [SPEAKER_06]: You said, if you're a Democrat running for president in twenty twenty eight, this is what I want to know. 01:04:49.196 --> 01:04:52.377 [SPEAKER_06]: Number one, how do you plan to rebuild everything Donald Trump has destroyed? 01:04:52.437 --> 01:04:55.778 [SPEAKER_06]: Number two, how will you hold the Trump regime accountable for its crimes? 01:04:55.858 --> 01:05:01.240 [SPEAKER_06]: And number three, what will you do to make sure fascist dictatorships never rise again? 01:05:01.960 --> 01:05:04.381 [SPEAKER_06]: And I'm like, I was just like, you know, 01:05:07.999 --> 01:05:08.099 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. 01:05:08.639 --> 01:05:09.799 [SPEAKER_06]: I mean, you know, that's the look. 01:05:09.839 --> 01:05:10.540 [SPEAKER_06]: It's fantastic. 01:05:10.580 --> 01:05:11.460 [SPEAKER_06]: And it's right. 01:05:11.780 --> 01:05:15.941 [SPEAKER_06]: And especially in light of what Cory Booker did standing up in the center. 01:05:15.961 --> 01:05:16.661 [SPEAKER_06]: You saw that, Bob? 01:05:17.501 --> 01:05:18.121 [SPEAKER_06]: Yes, I did. 01:05:18.822 --> 01:05:19.902 [SPEAKER_06]: I damn. 01:05:19.942 --> 01:05:24.143 [SPEAKER_06]: He's, you know, how calm you know how hard it is to Cory Booker. 01:05:24.243 --> 01:05:31.264 [SPEAKER_06]: I'm sure would have no problem living in Hawaii other than he likes New Jersey, but he would have no because he's just so freaking calm as a person. 01:05:31.284 --> 01:05:33.545 [SPEAKER_02]: He'd have to learn how to pump his own gas, though. 01:05:34.585 --> 01:05:35.826 [SPEAKER_06]: That's true. 01:05:36.587 --> 01:05:37.787 [SPEAKER_06]: Once again, Jody is right. 01:05:38.668 --> 01:05:46.093 [SPEAKER_06]: But seriously, he's, I mean, to make Cory Booker pissed off, you got to do some serious crap. 01:05:46.453 --> 01:05:51.837 [SPEAKER_06]: And I'm glad that he is getting fired up and telling Democrats, look, I, you know, I played along. 01:05:51.897 --> 01:05:52.897 [SPEAKER_06]: I tried to do some of my things. 01:05:52.977 --> 01:05:54.699 [SPEAKER_06]: It is time to stop. 01:05:54.739 --> 01:05:57.380 [SPEAKER_06]: It is time to put sticks in the wheels and stop this crap. 01:05:58.681 --> 01:05:58.901 [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. 01:05:59.141 --> 01:05:59.321 [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. 01:05:59.621 --> 01:06:06.104 [SPEAKER_07]: Well, we need Democrats running for office in twenty six and twenty eight who and twenty five. 01:06:06.544 --> 01:06:10.726 [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, well outlined agenda for fixing everything that's being destroyed right now. 01:06:11.066 --> 01:06:18.049 [SPEAKER_07]: And the good news is is that so much of what Donald is doing is based around executive orders that could very easily be reversed on day one. 01:06:18.489 --> 01:06:22.711 [SPEAKER_07]: Yes, the entire federal government to some extent can be reconstituted. 01:06:22.731 --> 01:06:35.058 [SPEAKER_07]: You start with USAID, you start with the Department of Education, you bring back some of these workers, if not all of them, rehire them, figure out how to rebuild what's been destroyed. 01:06:35.098 --> 01:06:42.062 [SPEAKER_07]: There's no better way to get back a Donald Trump than on day one, reversing every last horrendous thing he's done. 01:06:42.422 --> 01:06:47.565 [SPEAKER_07]: I mean, obviously there are legislative things that he's done that will take some congressional action. 01:06:48.025 --> 01:06:56.332 [SPEAKER_07]: But most of what he's done, as I said, executive orders that with one signature on one piece of paper can reverse all of that stuff. 01:06:56.532 --> 01:07:09.123 [SPEAKER_07]: And so it just requires the will to do it because I know there's a predisposition I think when it comes to the presidency that we honor tradition and unwritten rules of the presidency. 01:07:10.043 --> 01:07:16.127 [SPEAKER_07]: And that has utterly failed us, by the way, because Donald Trump has just blasted right on through it, like the cool, cool aid man. 01:07:16.567 --> 01:07:25.992 [SPEAKER_07]: But the reality is that, yeah, some people coming into office after the previous party held the White House 01:07:26.772 --> 01:07:28.212 [SPEAKER_07]: they leave some of those things in place. 01:07:28.232 --> 01:07:33.654 [SPEAKER_07]: Like for example, the famously when Joe Biden became president, he left some of Donald's tariffs in place. 01:07:33.714 --> 01:07:34.114 [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, he did. 01:07:34.174 --> 01:07:36.875 [SPEAKER_07]: And those tariffs were normal tariffs. 01:07:36.995 --> 01:07:39.196 [SPEAKER_07]: One to two percent in the last days. 01:07:39.316 --> 01:07:41.456 [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, indiscriminate as Donald's tariffs are now. 01:07:41.896 --> 01:07:42.337 [SPEAKER_07]: Right. 01:07:42.497 --> 01:07:49.679 [SPEAKER_07]: But it was one of those things where, well, you know, maybe we'll keep these things in place that Donald did because that's acceptable. 01:07:49.939 --> 01:07:51.819 [SPEAKER_07]: No, you've got to wipe the slate clean. 01:07:52.199 --> 01:07:53.600 [SPEAKER_07]: In fact, if I had my brothers, 01:07:54.460 --> 01:08:20.888 [SPEAKER_07]: every time done with the two times Donald has mentioned as being president there should be an asterisk next to his name amen that says you know this is not this is not a normal president this is an aberration this is something that we need to separate out from the normal continuity of the presidency because he's not he's not a a democratically 01:08:23.469 --> 01:08:24.069 [SPEAKER_07]: How do I put this? 01:08:24.449 --> 01:08:26.071 [SPEAKER_07]: He doesn't. 01:08:26.151 --> 01:08:26.531 [SPEAKER_07]: He doesn't. 01:08:26.631 --> 01:08:29.253 [SPEAKER_07]: He doesn't honor the values of American democracy. 01:08:29.493 --> 01:08:31.114 [SPEAKER_07]: He is a fascist dictator. 01:08:31.134 --> 01:08:31.314 [SPEAKER_02]: Yes. 01:08:31.555 --> 01:08:32.335 [SPEAKER_07]: And that is off. 01:08:32.435 --> 01:08:34.597 [SPEAKER_07]: That should be off in its own category somewhere. 01:08:34.777 --> 01:08:35.157 [SPEAKER_02]: Exactly. 01:08:35.177 --> 01:08:36.018 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 01:08:36.498 --> 01:08:37.439 [SPEAKER_06]: And we're going to need to work. 01:08:37.759 --> 01:08:46.646 [SPEAKER_06]: The watchwords that I keep keep landing on that every Democrat, uh, twenty twenty six every election for the next foreseeable future. 01:08:47.186 --> 01:08:50.749 [SPEAKER_06]: The two big words are accountability and affordability. 01:08:51.249 --> 01:08:51.410 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. 01:08:51.450 --> 01:09:00.171 [SPEAKER_06]: First of all, accountability, you need to hold every single one of these ratt bastard ice monsters who's been doing wrong things. 01:09:01.411 --> 01:09:15.621 [SPEAKER_06]: Look, we've got an ad that we play, you know, sometimes it's a Lincoln project ad that talks about how they should leave, alligator, alcatraz open so that people like Stephen Miller can enjoy some time there. 01:09:15.761 --> 01:09:17.502 [SPEAKER_06]: And I want a hundred percent agree. 01:09:17.862 --> 01:09:21.885 [SPEAKER_06]: Since Stephen Miller sent Pam Bondi sent all these ice monsters. 01:09:21.905 --> 01:09:22.505 [SPEAKER_02]: The puppy killer? 01:09:22.545 --> 01:09:27.789 [SPEAKER_06]: Like, oh, yeah, oh, definitely Christina Nome sent that little yard yunk into there. 01:09:27.909 --> 01:09:29.230 [SPEAKER_06]: But, and look, 01:09:29.730 --> 01:09:30.711 [SPEAKER_06]: And people say, that's awful. 01:09:30.731 --> 01:09:38.715 [SPEAKER_06]: And I go, no, because the only way some of these people learn is if they have to go through the things that they put other people through. 01:09:39.456 --> 01:09:42.998 [SPEAKER_06]: Unfortunately, they are as my father used to call them two by four stupid. 01:09:43.578 --> 01:09:47.220 [SPEAKER_06]: The only way they learn is if you put something at the end of a two by four and hit them over the head. 01:09:47.321 --> 01:09:50.783 [SPEAKER_06]: And I'm not recommending violence, but I'm just saying that was my dad's metaphor. 01:09:51.623 --> 01:09:55.366 [SPEAKER_06]: And quite frankly, it seems to be pretty good because some of them are too by force stupid. 01:09:55.646 --> 01:10:00.710 [SPEAKER_07]: So, you know, by way of establishing expectations, I want to offer up the caveat. 01:10:00.750 --> 01:10:14.981 [SPEAKER_07]: The only way this kind of accountability actually happens is if voters and specifically voters who are on the normal side of the aisle decide to give this would be next Democratic president 01:10:15.741 --> 01:10:20.384 [SPEAKER_07]: a democratic, a strongly democratic Congress who will back. 01:10:20.864 --> 01:10:23.466 [SPEAKER_02]: You know, no, sixty three in the Senate at least. 01:10:24.126 --> 01:10:25.527 [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. 01:10:25.647 --> 01:10:27.869 [SPEAKER_02]: And he's free-huntered in the house. 01:10:28.289 --> 01:10:29.190 [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, God. 01:10:29.450 --> 01:10:31.511 [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, you guys are just all about the proof majority. 01:10:31.551 --> 01:10:31.871 [SPEAKER_06]: I mean, yeah. 01:10:33.212 --> 01:10:35.795 [SPEAKER_06]: I mean, I should go outside and smoke out if I smoke still. 01:10:35.835 --> 01:10:37.818 [SPEAKER_02]: Hey, Randy Rose, you should say that a lot too. 01:10:37.978 --> 01:10:38.378 [SPEAKER_02]: I know. 01:10:38.598 --> 01:10:42.202 [SPEAKER_07]: It is possible it happened in two thousand eight. 01:10:42.583 --> 01:10:51.453 [SPEAKER_07]: Yes, Barack Obama, eventually obviously there was a lot of recounting done with the Al Franken race and then for six. 01:10:53.515 --> 01:10:56.636 [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, and then Ted Kennedy died about halfway through the summer of two thousand nine. 01:10:56.996 --> 01:11:08.340 [SPEAKER_07]: So, uh, but there was a short period of time where the Democrats had a sixty vote majority in the Senate, which meant it could overcome a Republican filibuster. 01:11:08.540 --> 01:11:11.221 [SPEAKER_06]: Sixty years we had sixty in the Senate, and we had God. 01:11:11.261 --> 01:11:13.142 [SPEAKER_06]: What was it like a hundred and something in the house? 01:11:13.182 --> 01:11:13.802 [SPEAKER_06]: We had huge. 01:11:13.962 --> 01:11:15.523 [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, the margins in the house are huge. 01:11:15.583 --> 01:11:15.783 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 01:11:16.463 --> 01:11:29.472 [SPEAKER_06]: and this is the thing I've been seeing some people out there attacking Joe Walsh over some of the stuff and he's he's kind of in general because he's trying to find out what people are thinking so that you know we should see if we get you back here in the in the bar but 01:11:30.852 --> 01:11:39.937 [SPEAKER_06]: A he's frustrated sometimes with some he says most Democrats have actually been pretty good and said, look, you're you're more conservative Democrat, but you want to get stuff done. 01:11:40.537 --> 01:11:45.640 [SPEAKER_06]: And that's what we want and we're very glad to have you in the party, Joe, because, you know, we want to get stuff done, too. 01:11:45.740 --> 01:11:52.504 [SPEAKER_06]: We'll, we'll figure out the, the exact, you know, policies later will argue about them and then once, you know, we'll get through what we can. 01:11:53.044 --> 01:11:54.466 [SPEAKER_06]: But we're glad that you want to get stuff done. 01:11:54.526 --> 01:12:06.259 [SPEAKER_06]: But people have, there are still some people out there who are like, no, I'm like, you know, how we got those huge margins under Obama and Biden, we got those huge margins because we got as many people as possible. 01:12:06.359 --> 01:12:08.842 [SPEAKER_06]: We got Democrats up off the couch. 01:12:09.223 --> 01:12:11.205 [SPEAKER_06]: We got independence to come in and vote for us. 01:12:11.465 --> 01:12:17.190 [SPEAKER_06]: We got Republicans to say, I may be registered Republican, but I'm still going to vote for Obama and Biden. 01:12:17.590 --> 01:12:25.897 [SPEAKER_06]: That's how we get those huge ass margins is get people who haven't voted off of the bleachers and get the people that do vote to vote. 01:12:26.537 --> 01:12:27.358 [SPEAKER_06]: for our people. 01:12:27.858 --> 01:12:29.740 [SPEAKER_06]: And it starts at the local level. 01:12:29.900 --> 01:12:31.241 [SPEAKER_06]: It starts at the state level. 01:12:32.002 --> 01:12:33.763 [SPEAKER_06]: And yes, then it goes to the federal level. 01:12:33.863 --> 01:12:36.405 [SPEAKER_06]: So I'm excited for Virginia. 01:12:36.425 --> 01:12:39.588 [SPEAKER_06]: I don't know if you saw this, Bob, we had this in the news on tap today. 01:12:40.329 --> 01:12:43.712 [SPEAKER_06]: Spanberger has got a twelve point lead. 01:12:43.772 --> 01:12:45.253 [SPEAKER_06]: I believe it is less than a hundred days. 01:12:45.293 --> 01:12:49.316 [SPEAKER_06]: The election and a huge fundraising advantage and Mickey Cheryl in New Jersey. 01:12:49.597 --> 01:12:50.538 [SPEAKER_06]: She's got an eight point lead. 01:12:51.078 --> 01:12:52.299 [SPEAKER_06]: So Andrew's thing. 01:12:52.359 --> 01:12:53.280 [SPEAKER_02]: Is it Mikey Cheryl? 01:12:55.134 --> 01:12:55.694 [SPEAKER_06]: Yes, God. 01:12:55.855 --> 01:12:56.935 [SPEAKER_06]: I always read it as Mickey. 01:12:57.016 --> 01:12:57.636 [SPEAKER_06]: I don't know why. 01:12:58.597 --> 01:12:59.578 [SPEAKER_06]: Look, I'm a Disney fan. 01:12:59.598 --> 01:13:00.138 [SPEAKER_06]: What can I say? 01:13:01.519 --> 01:13:02.340 [SPEAKER_06]: But it is Mikey Cheryl. 01:13:02.500 --> 01:13:03.120 [SPEAKER_06]: She is good. 01:13:03.701 --> 01:13:08.044 [SPEAKER_06]: And it's just going to be a lot easier to say her name in about a hundred days. 01:13:08.104 --> 01:13:09.425 [SPEAKER_06]: We'll just call her governor Cheryl. 01:13:09.846 --> 01:13:13.549 [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, remember how hard it was to say Buttigieg for the longest time. 01:13:13.649 --> 01:13:14.990 [SPEAKER_02]: So we know that now. 01:13:15.490 --> 01:13:18.453 [SPEAKER_06]: I suppose, while I'm from Nebraska, where we have a lot of weird names. 01:13:20.855 --> 01:13:23.177 [SPEAKER_06]: Look, we'll talk more about that on the other side of the break. 01:13:51.362 --> 01:13:54.789 [SPEAKER_05]: We'll be right back after we pay some bills at the politics bar. 01:14:00.766 --> 01:14:02.867 [SPEAKER_06]: Wednesday nights here at the politics bar. 01:14:02.947 --> 01:14:04.468 [SPEAKER_06]: If it feels like it's Friday. 01:14:04.968 --> 01:14:07.569 [SPEAKER_06]: Well, it could be for you if you have the next couple of days off. 01:14:08.109 --> 01:14:12.271 [SPEAKER_06]: I don't know what your work schedule is, but it also could be because you've got great people in the bar. 01:14:12.711 --> 01:14:17.553 [SPEAKER_06]: Jody and I happen to have Bob Cesca and you in the bar and quite frankly, we love that. 01:14:18.213 --> 01:14:18.654 [SPEAKER_06]: We love it. 01:14:19.054 --> 01:14:25.356 [SPEAKER_06]: When you join us any day, any time through the podcast, you could always subscribe and get an ad free at the politics bar. 01:14:27.481 --> 01:14:33.866 [SPEAKER_06]: Alrighty, so there is some fun news, some stuff that goes along with entertainment stuff. 01:14:34.386 --> 01:14:39.010 [SPEAKER_06]: I had a lot of you been paying attention to Comic Con that was just here recently in San Diego. 01:14:40.120 --> 01:14:48.611 [SPEAKER_07]: Um, it depends on what I got the overall thing, but I'm sure I'm sure you saw the peacemakers got season two coming out. 01:14:48.631 --> 01:14:49.752 [SPEAKER_07]: Of course, I can't wait for that. 01:14:49.772 --> 01:14:51.034 [SPEAKER_07]: Did you see the trailer? 01:14:51.114 --> 01:14:51.815 [SPEAKER_02]: It's amazing. 01:14:52.175 --> 01:14:57.382 [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, it looks really good and it ties right into the conclusion of the Superman movies. 01:14:58.363 --> 01:15:08.289 [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, so it continues on with that story and kind of explains how peacemaker exists in both the DCEU, which is the Zack Snyder thing, and then also in this universe as well. 01:15:08.789 --> 01:15:09.850 [SPEAKER_07]: That's really psyched about that. 01:15:09.910 --> 01:15:10.510 [SPEAKER_06]: That's kind of cool. 01:15:10.590 --> 01:15:16.113 [SPEAKER_06]: It says, look, and I like that they are keeping that whole theme going and you're wrapping them together. 01:15:16.133 --> 01:15:17.854 [SPEAKER_06]: You're like, hey, that's how Marvel did it. 01:15:17.974 --> 01:15:19.916 [SPEAKER_06]: So yeah, keep doing that. 01:15:20.776 --> 01:15:25.619 [SPEAKER_06]: Did you guys see that Coyote versus Acme that movie that was almost shelved is coming out? 01:15:26.199 --> 01:15:27.300 [SPEAKER_02]: That was funny. 01:15:28.327 --> 01:15:30.028 [SPEAKER_06]: I am so geeked about that. 01:15:30.088 --> 01:15:34.611 [SPEAKER_06]: They, they almost burned that as far as files, however, they were going to get rid of it. 01:15:35.032 --> 01:15:37.033 [SPEAKER_06]: And the funny thing is John Cena's in that movie as well. 01:15:37.053 --> 01:15:39.535 [SPEAKER_06]: He's supposed to play the bad lawyer for acne. 01:15:41.165 --> 01:15:42.765 [SPEAKER_06]: No, no kidding. 01:15:42.805 --> 01:15:46.166 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, it's it's supposed to be it'll be a year from now August, twenty twenty six. 01:15:46.266 --> 01:15:47.427 [SPEAKER_06]: So they announced that. 01:15:47.927 --> 01:15:52.288 [SPEAKER_06]: And then something I'm sure you're going to be talking about here very soon because I believe it's August tenth. 01:15:52.768 --> 01:15:59.910 [SPEAKER_06]: You will be in Vegas, Bob, I believe for a strike convention and I'm sure you're going to be talking about Star Trek Starfleet Academy. 01:16:00.887 --> 01:16:01.407 [SPEAKER_06]: Holly Hunter. 01:16:01.468 --> 01:16:02.308 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. 01:16:03.169 --> 01:16:03.529 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. 01:16:03.549 --> 01:16:04.150 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. 01:16:04.910 --> 01:16:05.771 [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. 01:16:06.091 --> 01:16:07.172 [SPEAKER_06]: What do you think about that? 01:16:08.613 --> 01:16:09.274 [SPEAKER_07]: It looks good. 01:16:09.994 --> 01:16:11.415 [SPEAKER_07]: I don't. 01:16:12.976 --> 01:16:14.057 [SPEAKER_07]: I was just describing myself. 01:16:14.097 --> 01:16:20.282 [SPEAKER_07]: I was on with Drift Glass and Blue Gale on my shoulder today and I was describing myself as being a kind of a continuity Nazi. 01:16:20.302 --> 01:16:21.343 [SPEAKER_07]: Okay. 01:16:21.603 --> 01:16:23.665 [SPEAKER_07]: Or a canon Nazi as the case may be. 01:16:23.945 --> 01:16:24.105 [SPEAKER_07]: Okay. 01:16:24.265 --> 01:16:33.854 [SPEAKER_07]: And so with this, it's set in the thirty second century and it kind of, that's the same period of time in which discovery ended. 01:16:33.874 --> 01:16:36.396 [SPEAKER_07]: Okay, flash forward and in time. 01:16:37.677 --> 01:16:40.059 [SPEAKER_07]: And yeah, I don't know about. 01:16:41.212 --> 01:16:49.374 [SPEAKER_07]: I would much rather see everything take place in the existing continuity, rather than jumping way ahead in time that much, but that's just me. 01:16:49.434 --> 01:16:50.614 [SPEAKER_07]: I'm just, I'm weird about that. 01:16:50.674 --> 01:16:51.114 [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. 01:16:52.774 --> 01:16:54.015 [SPEAKER_06]: No, I'm kidding. 01:16:54.035 --> 01:16:55.675 [SPEAKER_06]: I, I, I such an urge. 01:16:56.155 --> 01:16:59.476 [SPEAKER_06]: I like, I kind of like it, but I, I understand why they did it. 01:16:59.516 --> 01:17:05.717 [SPEAKER_06]: It's the same reason why they jumped ahead originally with next generation is because if you have to worry about all the threads of continuity, 01:17:07.000 --> 01:17:15.094 [SPEAKER_06]: you're introducing a new show so you want to have somewhat of a clean slate so you jump far enough ahead in time. 01:17:16.095 --> 01:17:20.102 [SPEAKER_06]: If it's successful in future things, you can go back and tie up the threads. 01:17:21.143 --> 01:17:21.344 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. 01:17:21.920 --> 01:17:24.102 [SPEAKER_06]: Which, you know, makes sense. 01:17:24.202 --> 01:17:30.127 [SPEAKER_07]: But it's, I think it's a challenge to to project that far forward as far as what the technology looks like. 01:17:30.148 --> 01:17:39.456 [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, because I mean, the, the most recent thing, I think the most distant into the future show that we've seen so far prior to discovery. 01:17:39.856 --> 01:17:53.027 [SPEAKER_07]: or maybe it was after depending on how it was released, but was a season three of Picard, which was taking place in the early twenty-fifth century, in the same timeline as Next Generation and Deep Space Nine and all that. 01:17:53.747 --> 01:18:01.073 [SPEAKER_07]: And jumping, whatever it is, seven centuries beyond that, 01:18:02.194 --> 01:18:03.535 [SPEAKER_07]: is quite a bit. 01:18:03.635 --> 01:18:06.057 [SPEAKER_07]: I mean, that's quite a leap in time. 01:18:06.198 --> 01:18:18.447 [SPEAKER_07]: And so it makes the technology, which, by the way, kind of looks like the same technology that we see in discovery and strange new worlds, which takes place prior to the original series. 01:18:19.829 --> 01:18:23.612 [SPEAKER_02]: I say, just make it look like Star Wars technology, you know, faders. 01:18:25.713 --> 01:18:25.953 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. 01:18:26.254 --> 01:18:30.897 [SPEAKER_06]: There's, it is obviously, futurists say that that kind of thing is difficult, but I think it's more 01:18:31.718 --> 01:18:56.932 [SPEAKER_06]: it's more obviously so we can have settings so that we can do with things like politics like interpersonal relations and and it's it's a different setting for it's I'm curious to see what they do with it there is more entertainment news Adam Sandler's happy Gilmore to debut to a forty six point seven million views the biggest Netflix US film opening ever it was hilarious it was exactly what you expect it was 01:18:57.752 --> 01:19:02.415 [SPEAKER_06]: This is nothing unexpected and if you like the first one, you're gonna like this one. 01:19:02.615 --> 01:19:03.796 [SPEAKER_06]: So have you have you seen it yet, Bob? 01:19:04.717 --> 01:19:05.998 [SPEAKER_06]: No, no. 01:19:06.098 --> 01:19:09.800 [SPEAKER_02]: It's not like, oh, go run and see it, but it's adorable. 01:19:09.860 --> 01:19:12.802 [SPEAKER_02]: If you got nothing else to do, just go watch it. 01:19:12.922 --> 01:19:14.624 [SPEAKER_06]: It's a certain it's a certain kind of humor. 01:19:14.724 --> 01:19:15.144 [SPEAKER_06]: I get that. 01:19:16.065 --> 01:19:18.186 [SPEAKER_06]: There is something that's a little bit less humorous. 01:19:18.987 --> 01:19:21.868 [SPEAKER_06]: There is this American eagle ad that is. 01:19:21.949 --> 01:19:23.830 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm still not sure why there's an issue with it. 01:19:24.778 --> 01:19:25.358 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, okay. 01:19:25.898 --> 01:19:28.679 [SPEAKER_06]: Have you seen, have you seen the controversy over this, Bob? 01:19:29.239 --> 01:19:29.840 [SPEAKER_06]: Yes, I have. 01:19:30.280 --> 01:19:30.600 [SPEAKER_06]: Okay. 01:19:31.000 --> 01:19:32.140 [SPEAKER_06]: Do you get why they're done? 01:19:32.160 --> 01:19:34.621 [SPEAKER_06]: I mean, do we all get why there's controversy? 01:19:34.861 --> 01:19:36.102 [SPEAKER_02]: Because it's jeans. 01:19:37.042 --> 01:19:39.063 [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, it's a little bit. 01:19:40.323 --> 01:19:41.984 [SPEAKER_07]: I see what the complaints are all about. 01:19:42.024 --> 01:19:45.125 [SPEAKER_07]: It's obviously looking at the idea of eugenics. 01:19:45.405 --> 01:19:45.685 [SPEAKER_03]: Right. 01:19:46.225 --> 01:19:46.465 [SPEAKER_07]: Right. 01:19:46.845 --> 01:19:58.671 [SPEAKER_07]: You know, Donald Trump is really obsessed with genes and people pairing together because they have good genes, buying, they'll create people who have better genes and superior genes. 01:19:59.031 --> 01:20:02.392 [SPEAKER_07]: You get those whole idea of being, of having superior genes. 01:20:03.913 --> 01:20:10.056 [SPEAKER_07]: Especially now if you're a white person and you start going around bragging about your genes, there's a certain connotation. 01:20:10.136 --> 01:20:14.178 [SPEAKER_02]: But she also said her genes are blue, which suggests that she could be a Democrat. 01:20:14.598 --> 01:20:19.081 [SPEAKER_06]: Well, okay, but that's all for those of you here in the bar who have not heard yet. 01:20:19.121 --> 01:20:22.042 [SPEAKER_06]: So Sidney Sweeney, very pretty actress. 01:20:22.062 --> 01:20:22.883 [SPEAKER_06]: She's in a number of things. 01:20:23.603 --> 01:20:28.065 [SPEAKER_06]: I enjoyed her when she was in the video for the Rolling Stone song here and they're there to have them last year. 01:20:31.207 --> 01:20:33.669 [SPEAKER_06]: She's got a lot of good stuff out there, euphoria. 01:20:34.170 --> 01:20:40.475 [SPEAKER_06]: Anyway, she has, she is the star of American Eagle, there are a brand of jeans that are out there. 01:20:41.396 --> 01:20:45.620 [SPEAKER_06]: And they basically have different posters, different little mini videos, whatever. 01:20:46.521 --> 01:20:50.424 [SPEAKER_06]: And the idea is Sidney Swaney has great jeans. 01:20:51.574 --> 01:20:58.479 [SPEAKER_06]: and then she crosses it out instead of it being G-E-N-E-S, it's J-E-A-N-S. 01:20:58.960 --> 01:20:59.120 [SPEAKER_02]: Right. 01:20:59.420 --> 01:21:03.563 [SPEAKER_06]: And I get this, but we started talking out, we started today, we got it in the bar. 01:21:04.084 --> 01:21:07.446 [SPEAKER_06]: Bob, when Jodi and I got it, we started talking, one of the things we were talking about is diversity. 01:21:07.946 --> 01:21:14.571 [SPEAKER_06]: And how diversity and institutional knowledge and wisdom and experience can actually 01:21:15.507 --> 01:21:18.008 [SPEAKER_06]: help a lot in situations like this. 01:21:18.308 --> 01:21:33.475 [SPEAKER_06]: And this is how you know, the people who are doing this ad campaign, either didn't have that or didn't think of it, because all three of us are like, just what you said, Bob, what you just said, like, sixty seconds ago about how in the current environment, if you're a white person, you don't exactly want to go around bragging about your 01:21:35.596 --> 01:21:39.679 [SPEAKER_06]: They clearly obviously didn't have anybody take a step back and go, um, excuse me. 01:21:40.460 --> 01:21:40.960 [SPEAKER_06]: Excuse me. 01:21:40.980 --> 01:21:48.906 [SPEAKER_06]: Uh, that that that has some serious white national with connotations and maybe you might want to rethink about that whole ad campaign. 01:21:50.067 --> 01:21:52.648 [SPEAKER_06]: They obviously had nobody saying anything like that. 01:21:53.289 --> 01:21:54.490 [SPEAKER_02]: See, I would have used 01:21:56.375 --> 01:22:00.124 [SPEAKER_02]: Elon Musk's daughter for that instead. 01:22:02.590 --> 01:22:03.331 [SPEAKER_02]: She's a model. 01:22:03.712 --> 01:22:04.654 [SPEAKER_02]: She sells stuff. 01:22:05.216 --> 01:22:05.717 [SPEAKER_02]: Why not? 01:22:06.527 --> 01:22:30.478 [SPEAKER_02]: and and that that would have thrown the white nationals for complete loop because they would have been I have good jeans you know I just I have limited bandwidth for outrage I know this is like so much outrage I can have I was reading I don't quite get to me it was the blue I was like my jeans are blue so she's a damn that's where my brain went 01:22:31.132 --> 01:22:36.055 [SPEAKER_06]: Well, and the thing is, I mean, there are different ways that you could take the ad campaign. 01:22:36.775 --> 01:22:46.581 [SPEAKER_06]: I just looked at it as the thing that I found interesting is, if you look at NBC or CBS or ABC, they have without fail. 01:22:47.341 --> 01:22:50.803 [SPEAKER_06]: Any of them CNN, they get somebody who's talking about this. 01:22:50.823 --> 01:22:57.747 [SPEAKER_06]: And if they're getting an expert or a semi-expert to talk about this, they're getting women of color. 01:22:59.012 --> 01:23:10.558 [SPEAKER_06]: Somebody of color, but definitely women of color who are talking about this, and it says to me, you go, yes, because anybody, if they're black, if they are Asian, if they are Hispanic, they all recognize the white supremacy thing immediately. 01:23:10.598 --> 01:23:27.367 [SPEAKER_06]: And they go, hello, flagging this, flagging this, women too, a lot of, and look, Cindy Swaney is, she's done some other interesting, was it to squash men's brands, products or whatever, she's done some cheeky ads that people had, some people had some issues with because they've been a little bit 01:23:27.407 --> 01:23:30.129 [SPEAKER_02]: Hey, at least something comes between her and her jeans. 01:23:30.229 --> 01:23:32.250 [SPEAKER_02]: Unlike Brookshade. 01:23:32.710 --> 01:23:33.491 [SPEAKER_06]: Exactly. 01:23:33.991 --> 01:23:35.492 [SPEAKER_06]: For those of you, that's a good call back to it. 01:23:35.532 --> 01:23:36.592 [SPEAKER_06]: It's a very good call back to it. 01:23:36.612 --> 01:23:36.913 [SPEAKER_06]: I'm old. 01:23:37.513 --> 01:23:38.313 [SPEAKER_06]: No, it's a good call back. 01:23:38.494 --> 01:23:47.019 [SPEAKER_06]: But look, it's, it's, Sidney Sweeney has said, if I get paid to do whatever it is, I mean, you know, within reason she'll do it because she's like, I'm an actress. 01:23:47.059 --> 01:23:48.279 [SPEAKER_06]: That's what I do, whatever. 01:23:48.319 --> 01:23:49.000 [SPEAKER_06]: It's not a big deal. 01:23:49.680 --> 01:23:54.104 [SPEAKER_06]: It isn't her fault that the ad campaign has that connotation. 01:23:54.365 --> 01:23:59.730 [SPEAKER_06]: It's the people who are doing the ad campaign and if the people who are doing the ad campaign had a diverse enough staff. 01:24:00.050 --> 01:24:00.310 [SPEAKER_06]: True. 01:24:00.811 --> 01:24:06.716 [SPEAKER_06]: They would have seen that and flagged it and said, um, there are ways that we could do this. 01:24:07.670 --> 01:24:11.514 [SPEAKER_06]: but doing it this way is probably not the best way to go about this. 01:24:12.515 --> 01:24:13.636 [SPEAKER_02]: Have you seen this studio? 01:24:14.116 --> 01:24:14.377 [SPEAKER_02]: Seth? 01:24:15.518 --> 01:24:16.859 [SPEAKER_07]: Yes, I love that show. 01:24:16.919 --> 01:24:22.364 [SPEAKER_02]: There's an interesting episode about diversity that is hilarious. 01:24:22.945 --> 01:24:24.326 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. 01:24:24.667 --> 01:24:25.687 [SPEAKER_02]: Talking about this. 01:24:25.708 --> 01:24:31.073 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, trying to figure out how to make it more diverse and then it just screws them up anyway. 01:24:32.135 --> 01:24:39.499 [SPEAKER_07]: It's just like an endless, you know, endless oroboros of insanity trying to put together a cast that's diverse. 01:24:39.559 --> 01:24:47.263 [SPEAKER_07]: And then they, it's just all of this white fragility on display among the studio executives just incredible. 01:24:48.023 --> 01:25:14.919 [SPEAKER_06]: It's it's it's but it's all of these are to me at least proof of you know the reasons and the need for diversity and it's just we we see these these magma morons out there who are still some of them you know white pride and I'm like well, that's not really the thing you know you might have Irish pride or German pride but anyway, I just I think it's I think some of that stuff is just it's like folks if you're exposed to diversity and 01:25:15.865 --> 01:25:16.406 [SPEAKER_06]: you go with it. 01:25:16.446 --> 01:25:17.487 [SPEAKER_06]: You'll be better off. 01:25:18.007 --> 01:25:19.389 [SPEAKER_06]: God, yes, hell yes. 01:25:19.849 --> 01:25:26.316 [SPEAKER_06]: I'm any who I just boggles my mind how they get some of this stuff that way. 01:25:27.637 --> 01:25:37.688 [SPEAKER_06]: But I do know that you had drift glass or yes, drift glass and blue go on on your podcast today, but what were you what were you guys chatting about before you came to the bar tonight? 01:25:38.424 --> 01:25:41.909 [SPEAKER_07]: There's a thing going on with Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, maybe you've heard. 01:25:41.929 --> 01:25:53.466 [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I'm really trying to maintain focus on that particular issue and make sure that we're getting the word out about it. 01:25:55.748 --> 01:25:59.851 [SPEAKER_07]: Also to make sure that it doesn't get flushed down the memory hole, which can so often happen these days. 01:26:00.292 --> 01:26:11.160 [SPEAKER_07]: So we talked a lot about that, and we ended up speaking a little bit about the aforementioned Star Trek and the new season of Strange New Worlds, which I am really enjoying. 01:26:11.180 --> 01:26:16.284 [SPEAKER_07]: I love the new episode with Trilaine bringing back that character from the original series. 01:26:17.244 --> 01:26:22.508 [SPEAKER_07]: And yeah, so that was the general thrust of today's show. 01:26:22.628 --> 01:26:27.671 [SPEAKER_06]: And focusing on focusing on the Trump Epstein thing is still somewhat important. 01:26:27.751 --> 01:26:42.801 [SPEAKER_06]: I was we were saying earlier tonight that one of the big things is that the news so many of the news agencies went with the it's a new information that there was this thing between Epstein and Trump and that basically Epstein stole Virginia Jew free and it's like it's not a new thing. 01:26:42.981 --> 01:26:44.002 [SPEAKER_06]: It's been it's been known. 01:26:44.102 --> 01:26:52.554 [SPEAKER_06]: ABC did a whole big thing with the victims back in twenty nineteen and they had they had literally they had Virginia's year free saying the so it's it's 01:26:54.770 --> 01:26:59.011 [SPEAKER_06]: Our media colleagues have a hell of a lot of work to do to get their stuff in here. 01:26:59.791 --> 01:27:03.852 [SPEAKER_02]: Like I said earlier, it's new to the rest of the country, not into Florida. 01:27:04.192 --> 01:27:06.032 [SPEAKER_06]: And you're right about that. 01:27:06.852 --> 01:27:07.972 [SPEAKER_06]: It's new to some people. 01:27:08.492 --> 01:27:13.373 [SPEAKER_06]: But you don't do the Donald Trump thing when you say nobody knew you say in case you missed it. 01:27:13.453 --> 01:27:16.894 [SPEAKER_06]: So in case you missed it, by the way, anything here at the politics party, right? 01:27:16.974 --> 01:27:18.714 [SPEAKER_06]: You can always subscribe to the podcast. 01:27:19.254 --> 01:27:21.255 [SPEAKER_06]: Bob, can we get you back here again next week? 01:27:21.875 --> 01:27:22.935 [SPEAKER_06]: No, yes, of course. 01:27:24.315 --> 01:27:26.956 [SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to come over there and sit behind you. 01:27:29.777 --> 01:27:32.578 [SPEAKER_06]: Tomorrow now we got John Fuble saying in the bars. 01:27:32.618 --> 01:27:37.399 [SPEAKER_06]: Well, if you want the people we are working on getting in the bar, we can't tell you they are yet because it's not confirmed. 01:27:37.500 --> 01:27:39.300 [SPEAKER_06]: But look, we want you to confirm it. 01:27:39.360 --> 01:27:40.360 [SPEAKER_06]: So put it in your calendar. 01:27:40.380 --> 01:27:41.141 [SPEAKER_06]: Do what you got to do. 01:27:41.841 --> 01:27:47.923 [SPEAKER_06]: Go home, get to some sleep, go to work, and then come back tomorrow night and join us here at the politics bar.
